Huawei Releases Data Center 3.0 Architecture White Paper
(ENP Newswire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) ENP Newswire - 25 July 2014 Release date- 23072014 - Shenzhen, China - Huawei, a leading global information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider, today released a white paper entitled 'Data Center (DC) 3.0 Architecture' that highlights Huawei's strengths in the accumulation of future research of computer architecture and data centers.
In the DC 3.0 architecture white paper, Huawei describes per capita consumption data as a barometer of social development and discusses the series of challenges faced by existing data centers in preparing for future big data processing, for example in real-time PB/s level data processing PB/s, on-demand dynamic resource allocation and adjustments, and optimizing the energy efficiency of large-scale systems. As a solution, Huawei proposes data-centric High Throughput Computer DC 3.0 architecture to build next-generation data centers, via core technologies such as resource pooling, hardware decoupling, optical interconnects and data center-level programming frameworks. Using non-volatile memory and silicon photovoltaic technology to achieve high-bandwidth low-latency network memory as a service and unity in internal and external memory, the DC 3.0 architecture breaks the traditional input/output bottlenecks, while providing more fine-grained resource management and server configuration to resolve fragmentation and improve resource utilization rates. Through this series of technological innovations, Huawei aims to provide an enhanced platform for future large-scale data processing, in order to achieve real-time data processing per second PB level and energy efficiency that is more than 10 times that of existing systems.
Huawei's DC 3.0 architecture white paper was pre-released at the International Symposium on Computer Architecture (ISCA) held on June 14-18, 2014, at which it received a positive response from the industry and academia.
Huawei's continued investment and innovation in the IT field has seen it evolve from the position as industry 'challenger' to that of industry 'innovator'. Huawei is committed to continuing its focus on the future development of IT to build core competitiveness, and to provide customers with future-oriented business solutions.

The Karnataka High Court today adjourned to September 16 a petition challenging Tamil Nadu Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption's decision to conduct further investigation into the disproportionate assets case against Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa.
Justice V. Jagannathan, hearing the petition filed by DMK General Secretary K. Anbazhagan, adjourned it for further arguments.
Earlier counsel representing Mr. Anbazhagan submitted that further investigation being carried out was "not for a fair purpose but to aid the first accused (Ms. Jayalalithaa)" and therefore should not be permitted as it lacks bona fides.
He also said plea for further investigation was being done at a "juncture when the trial in the case has been going on for the past 14 years".
Special Public Prosecutor B.V. Acharya expressed similar contention and submitted "further investigation is justified if fresh facts come to light".
It was not a fit case for holding further investigation at this stage when Supreme Court has ordered Ms. Jayalalithaa to appear personally on October 20 before the trial court, he contended.
Senior Counsel for the DVAC M.T. Nanaiah however submitted that further investigation was necessary.
The court then adjourned the petition.

Re: Our Medical Experiences in Mexico
The reality of the Canadian health care system is that a bureaucrat, not a doctor will determine what your healthcare needs are.
Friend of mine in Canada and I both injured a knee playing hockey on a Sunday. Monday I scheduled an MRI in the morning and had it read and got checked out by a knee doctor. All was well, just a sprain.
My friend was not so fortunate. He waited six months to get an MRI (guess Canadian medicine is way behind US) and he needed surgery. His bureaucrat determine that he was not a professional athlete so the motherland, oh I mean Canada didn't see the need to fix it. He could just use a cane with a slight limp.
Socialism sees no value in the individual. Unless you are a party member of status. My friend had no political connections to get his "priority" elevated. At least I have the opportunity to change my "priority".

WATERLOO, Canada ( TheStreet) -- Research In Motion (RIMM) has just announced two new BlackBerry smartphones, but it's not exactly being forthcoming in providing details about them.
There are no new blockbuster designs; the two new phones, the BlackBerry Bold 9650 and the BlackBerry Pearl 3G, are slightly updated versions of existing models.
BlackBerry Bold 9650
According to the specifications sheet sent by RIM's public relations team, the Bold 9650 is a candy bar smartphone with a 3.2-megapixel camera, a "large, high-resolution screen, GPS and Wi-Fi (802.11b/g). It's made to work as either a quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE/UMTS or dual-band CDMA/EV-DO (Rev A) phone.
BlackBerry Pearl 3GThe BlackBerry Pearl 3G, meanwhile, is strictly a GSM phone (said to be a quad-band device with tri-band, 3G UMTS capabilities). It too has a "large, high-resolution screen," a 3.2-megapixel camera and GPS, although it has better Wi-Fi (802.11b/g/n). Both designs have RIM's new Track Pad in place of the older (and somewhat finicky) trackball design. Both are said to be able to handle voice and data at the same time (on the EV-DO model?), both can handle downloaded apps from the BlackBerry store and, of course, both excel at handling your email and appointments in the time-tested BlackBerry style.

Standard & Poor's downgrades 34 Italian banks
PARIS—Standard and Poor's on Friday lowered the credit rating of 34 Italian banks in a move that follows the agency's two-notch downgrade of Italy on January 13.
Italy's biggest financial institutions were hit including UniCredit, Intesa Sanpaolo, Banca Nazionale del Lavoro and Mediobanca. In January, Standard and Poor's downgraded Italy's credit rating by two notches to BBB+ from A.
Since coming to power in November, Prime Minister Mario Monti has pushed through a harsh austerity plan and has asked for European assistance in helping to drive down borrowing costs for Italy on the debt markets.
The efforts have helped bring Italy's 10-year borrowing rate closer to 6.0 percent after hovering around 7.0 percent late last year, a level largely understood to be unsustainable.
With sky-high public debt and an economy headed into a recession, Italy faces a daunting challenge this year as it needs to raise around 450 billion euros ($571 billion) on the markets at higher than usual rates.

The Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS"), in proposed Treasury Regulations (REG-131947-10) (the "Proposed Regulations") released on January 6, 2011, clarifies and expands the circumstances that cause property to be "publicly traded" for purposes of determining the issue price of a debt instrument. The Proposed Regulations have been issued in response to commentary from practitioners regarding the meaning of such term in the current Treasury Regulations. The Proposed Regulations, if enacted in a form substantially similar to the proposed form, would result in debt instruments purchased and sold in current financial markets to be more easily characterized as "publicly traded." This characterization could have significant consequences for creditors and debtors that engage in debt modifications that result in a deemed exchange of the old debt obligation for a new modified obligation.
The issue price of a debt instrument that is issued in exchange for property that is traded on an established market, or publicly traded, is equal to the fair market value of the publicly traded property. Treasury Regulations issued in 1994 address when property is considered to be "traded on an established market" at any time during the 60-day period ending 30 days after the issue date. Property is considered to be traded on an established market for this purpose if it is listed on (1) a national securities exchange registered under Section 6 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Act"), (2) an "interdealer quotation system sponsored by a national securities association registered" under Section 15A of the Act (e.g., NASDAQ), or (3) a foreign exchange or board of trade recognized by the Treasury Regulations or the IRS. Property also qualifies if it is traded on an interbank market or on a board of trade designated as a contract market by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission. Property is traded on an established market if it appears on a "quotation medium," which is defined as "a system of general circulation . . . that provides a reasonable basis to determine fair market value by disseminating either recent price quotations . . . of one or more identified brokers, dealers, or traders or actual prices . . . of recent sales transactions." In addition, property is traded on an established market if price quotations are "readily available" from brokers, dealers, or traders. However, this category is subject to a number of limitations.

Hi, I'm Chris Robinson, senior art director of World of Warcraft, and welcome to a special edition of Artcraft focused on an idea that's still quite early in the inception phase: class accessories. For a long time now, we've felt that our character classes could use some more visual customization options, and we've heard you might be thinking the same thing. When I play WoW, I see Hunters pulling arrows from thin air, firing shot after shot with no visible clue as to where that ammo is coming from. I've heard Druids speak fondly of mystical objects called Idols, and listened to Shamans talk of Totems. And my Paladin seems to have developed a strange hitch in his gait due to the lack of a Libram at his side.
While some of those items once existed in-game as gear for the now-retired "Relic" slot, you've never been able to actually see those items on your character. We've been cooking up some concepts for how we might be able to bring that sort of class-specific visual customization back in the form of purely cosmetic class accessories—and while we're not here to herald their imminent arrival, we thought it would be fun to give you a sneak peek at what we're conceptualizing from an art perspective, and have our item-design guru Owen Landgren give you some insight into how they might work.
Before we show you the goods, keep in mind these are still way early in the design process, and getting them into the game will likely need to wait until after you've faced off against the Iron Horde. But this is something that's been requested so frequently, we thought you might appreciate knowing we're working to make it happen (eventually). So without further delay, here are a few concepts for you to take a look at!
As you can see, these concepts are all somewhat Alliance focused, at least for now. We're thinking we'll have Horde and Alliance color schemes for accessories whenever it makes sense. And while we're planning on creating the "obvious" accessories for the classes that once had Relics, we have a lot of ideas for accessories we think would be awesome for all of the classes. Don't let that stop you from sharing your own ideas with us, though!
Now that you've gotten a glimpse at what we're working on in the art realm, here's Owen to explain the designers' early thinking on how these might be worked into the game:
"Back in ye olden days of Cataclysm and earlier, the Relic gear slot provided some classes with an additional item that would impart character stat bonuses. We always thought it would have been cool to show these Relics on your character, but aside from the generic quiver for Hunters wielding a bow, the artists just didn't have time to do the concept justice. We were also faced with some unique design challenges, including questions about how much additional unique artwork would have been required for each new tier of raid and PvP gear. However, once the Relic slot was retired and the visuals could be divorced from gearing mechanics, the idea of bringing these back as a character customization feature became something we talked about more and more.
Our goal with these class accessories is to offer players a whole new path to customizing the look of their character. While you might decide to wear the same armor as your friend, choosing different accessories allows you to communicate something extra about your character. As a Rogue, are you the swashbuckling buccaneer with daggers on a bandolier and stashed up every sleeve? Or are you the poisoner, carrying bubbling, smoking vials filled with terrible concoctions? Perhaps you're the shadowy figure that lurks in the dark, replete with darts and throwing stars to fell your enemies from a distance? As you obtain new looks, you'll be able to mix and match thematically—if a particular Hunter gear set looks better with a longbow and quiver than a blunderbuss and ammo pouch, the option is yours. Mix in Transmogrification, and the visual combinations are nearly endless.
"We envision that class accessories will be rewarded from a variety of accomplishments in World of Warcraft. These could be as simple as attaining a new level, or as monumental as conquering a vicious raid boss. We want each player to have access to multiple accessories, but have some rarer accessories that take more effort to obtain."
—Owen Landgren, Game Designer
Hey there—Chris again. As we mentioned, these are still just some early ideas and concepts, and we hope you enjoyed getting a glimpse behind the scenes. We know a lot of you are excited about the idea of having new ways to customize the look of your characters, and we look forward to sharing more as we continue to make progress. Thanks for reading!
You can follow Chris Robinson and Owen Landgren, as well as World of Warcraft game director Tom Chilton on Twitter.
That should be pretty nice indeed.
Olivia,I tried to improve on Google Translate. Not perfect, but probably a little less confusing.Hello, this is Chris Robinson , Senior Artistic Director of World of Warcraft. We will discuss in this new edition of Artcraft a project that is currently in the embryonic stage of development : class accessories. We have been thinking for a while our character classes lack appearance customization options, and players seem to share this view with us. WoW Hunters shoot arrows that appear out of invisible quivers . Druids speak passionately of mystical objects they call idols , shamans bring to mind mysterious totems my paladin is missing his librams sorely.While these items used to appear in the Relic slot, nobody ever noticed them on their characters. We recently thought about ways to reintroduce this type of visual class customization in the game with purely cosmetic items. And although they will not appear in the game for some time, we decided to give you an overview of our preliminary artistic concepts and asked Owen Landgren , our object design guru, to tell you a little more about their implementation.Before I show you the result of our work , we wish to emphasize that this is only a first concept version and you probably won't be able to acquire these accessories in the game until you faced the Iron Horde. This article's aim is simply to let you know that we already started the development of this feature, which we know is dear to you. So without further ado here are some of our concepts for you to enjoy!As you can see, these are Alliance-only accessories. We are thinking about differentiating them later by applying Horde or Alliance colors if we deem necessary. Moreover, if we intend to create accessories specifically for classes who had a relic slot, we also have big plans for all classes. That said, do not hesitate to send us your ideas and suggestions!After this brief overview of artistic concepts under development , Owen will explain how the design team is planning to integrate them in the game:"At the time of Cataclysm and even before, the relic slot gave some classes an additional item granting bonus statistics. And we thought even then it would be really great if these relics could be seen on the character model. Unfortunately, apart from the conventional quiver of bow-wielding hunters, the artistic team never had the opportunity to further expand on the concept. We were also faced with unusual challenges in terms of design, especially regarding the amount of visuals required for each piece of raid or PvP gear. But when the relic slot was removed and visual appearance could be separated from gear mechanics, we started talking again about the possibility of reintroducing them in the game within the scope of visual customization.These class accessories aim to provide players with a whole new way of customizing the look of their character. For example, even if you decide to wear the same armor as your friend, you will be able to choose different accessories to make your character stand out. Are you one of those buccaneer thieves with a dagger tucked in their belt or hidden in their sleeve ? Or a poisoner who never travels without his vials filled with deadly steaming and bubbling potions? Perhaps that is you, the mysterious figure lurking in the shadows, armed with darts and throwing stars, ready to defeat the enemy from a distance? Each new look will allow you to create your own thematic combination; if you think a longbow and quiver visually suit your hunter better than a blunderbuss and a pouch, you are free to swap. Add transmogrification and visual combinations are almost endless."We would like class accessories to reward players for their achievements in the World of Warcraft , be it for simply having gained a level, completed a major challenge, or struck down a formidable raid boss. Players will have access to a wide range of accessories , but some of the rarer items will require additional effort to acquire. " Owen Landgren , game designerChris here, to conclude. Again, these are merely ideas and preliminary designs, but we nevertheless hope that you enjoyed learning about them. We know that many of you are eagerly waiting to be able to further customize their characters and we will continue to share our progress. Thank you for your attention!
I wouldn't mind seeing a Libram hanging off my pally's belt like I see in paladin artworks.
i cant wait things keep getting better and better with this new expansion
Would love to be able as a warlock to get the skull of gul'dan as an accessory if you compleat the Black Temple.But i think there should be some Race specific accessories to.
give us profession rewards too, and achiev ones (example belt chockfull of vials for alchemy, or a scroll for a scribe, as for the achievement things, have x's head bound yo your belt or shoulders..
Looks like the official English version of the article is up:http://us.battle.net/wow/en/blog/14176224/artcraft-concept-class-accessories-5-20-2014
Hooray the actual English original is up and added! Now you can see the effects of translating a translation (in a hurry). Thanks for being understanding as we did our best to get this to you asap :)
Great, something else to kill the frame rate even more. (Just kidding!)Can't wait to see more.
This is awesome! I'm so glad they are putting forth the effort to do this. As a Hunter, it does look rather "strange" reaching behind me to pull an arrow from a nonexistent Quiver and having said arrow "magically" appear in my hand. Love the concept art too. Keep up the good work Blizz. :-D
Oh! Librams! :D WoD is looking better already-- bravo! I hope warlocks will get grimoires.(here's to it makes it to live)Also, I really hope some accessories will stay one color-- don't really want the option of just red/black-ish librams on my paladin.
Hello There!I Play this game from the early stages of BC and my main char was a mage but i always loved Hunters, their pets, and espesially those quivers with the arrows. Back in the day the arrows were a consumable item with many ranks ( 5 as far as i remember ). If you run out of arrows you are screwed xD. Always loved this piece of realism in the game. After Cataclysm i felt a little disappointment when i heard that they removed Arrows and a little relieved that the chains that bonded hunters with constantly buying arrows from vendors was removed. Now with this idea of cosmetic in mind, I was thinking about an addition to hunters only ( Sorry all other classes ).Death Knights got Rune-forging for enchanting their weaponsRogues can add poisons to their weapons Shamans can enchant their weapons with many different waysWhy not make "Arrow-Forging" for hunters By Arrow Forging i mean 4 things.1) Hunters learn this special Forging type from the scratch ( lvl 1 ) so they can make ammunition for all kind of weapons.2) No restrictions in crafting ( like special crafting mats or daily cds etc ) 3) Fast Crafting and multiple items per craft ( 5 or more ). Of course stacking up to 1000 for minimum storage space capacity.4) This special kind of Forging level up with the hunter and learn new kind of ammunition automatically scaling by some level ( not exactly figured how what level hunter can make either level of ammunition but it's work in progress ) So for example

While we are living in a time of great change through our society's adoption of new technology, our mission at school continues to be one in which we prepare our students to be successful in the world they will inherit from us and that mission requires all of our support.
As you are aware, our school is our community's school. As a public school, the resources required to turn out the next generation of educated citizens come from all of us. From the contributions of our parents to those of our neighbors, a community effort is what it takes to provide excellent educational opportunities for our children and young adults.
Our nation, state and community have been working these past few years to recover from the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. Our school district has had to make major changes in the way we operate in order get the work done. We have engaged in significant reorganization requiring tough choices such as the closure of Lark Elementary School, additional student fees being required to participate in extracurricular activities and the accepting of open enrollment students. In addition to those sacrifices, last spring, our community demonstrated a serious commitment to our future generations by supporting the plan to build new school facilities for all of our students. Through these efforts, I am pleased to report to you both as our school superintendent and as a fellow Northwood tax payer that our district is presently on stable financial footing, providing excellent educational opportunities and preparing to continue to do so well into the future. Our commitment is to continue to do our best to manage costs and only come back for additional operating money when it becomes a necessity. For more financial details, you may wish to go to http://www.northwoodschools.org/Page/15 where you will find the most recent Five Year Forecast prepared by our Treasurer, Angel Adamski.
Since the passage of the levy in May supporting the plan to build a new school, we have worked with our Bond Counsel (attorney) and our Financial Advisor at getting our local share of the financing put together. That process began during the summer when we prepared materials and made a presentation at Standard and Poor's to secure a bond rating for our school district. That presentation took place in late July and I am pleased to report that our school received an AA- for the GO Bonds and an A+ for the Certificates of Participation that are financing our local share of the project. We were and remain very pleased with the results of that effort.
With our favorable rating in hand, our next step was to prepare the documents required and proceed to market to secure the financing for the project. All was going as planned with our GO Bonds set to go to market on August 27, 2014 when I received a phone call at 5:30 pm on Tuesday, August 26, 2014 informing me of an unforeseen circumstance that was creating a problem for our sale of the bonds. I was told that the OFCC (The State of Ohio) had changed its view on the use of Certificates of Participation to finance their co-funded projects and our school would not be permitted to use them for our project.
That development, if allowed to stand, would have left us about 7 million dollars short of the amount we needed to fund our share of the project putting our project in jeopardy. Simply put, this would have been an unacceptable outcome. From the moment I received that call until a few weeks ago, we worked very hard with our Bond Counsel, Financial Planner, State Legislators, the Attorney General's Office, the Governor's Office and the OFCC to arrive at a solution that would allow our project to move ahead as planned. Anything short of that and our state, The State of Ohio, would have let the citizens of our community down in an irreparable way.
In the end, after many hours worked by a number of people and with the especially hard work of State Senator Randy Gardner, I am pleased to report that we are back on track and moving forward.
As one would expect, this delay does not come without some things to work through. In a nutshell, the project is now a bit behind schedule and may not open in the fall of 2017 as hoped.
One upside that resulted from this situation is that we have been able to re-work our deal with the State of Ohio using an updated equity list. Because of changes in property values across the state and our slightly increased enrollment, the state will now be funding a larger share of the project than they were before. The state share of the project is now 40%.
Since successfully dealing with that bump in the road, we have been able to successfully get our Bonds and Certificates of Participation into the market for pricing and I am pleased to report that we are financing the project at an overall averaged interest rate of 4.04%. Because of our favorable Bond Rating and some good fortune with market timing, that rate is less than we originally planned for and reduces what we will be paying back to our creditors by 6.3 million dollars over the life of the bonds. That is certainly good news all of us as taxpayers can appreciate. We are now on track to finalize our agreement with The State of Ohio before the end of the calendar year and begin the planning process for the new school. It is certainly an exciting time for our community! Expect to hear about opportunities to be a part of that just before or right after the holidays.
You may remember that last school year I wrote about school choice in Ohio and the impact decisions made in Columbus around this issue have on our local school. Recently, an online resource became available making much of the data about the impact of charter schools on local schools easily accessible for citizens. As an educator, I am an advocate for school choice and an advocate for excellent student learning experiences. I sincerely believe and share with our legislators every chance I get that any entity using public (tax) dollars to educate students should be required to abide by the same rules and be financially audited using the same standards. The tax paying public deserves nothing less than this and current Ohio law does not provide for it. Our policy makers should use the best information available to develop policy that best serves students and not ever allow political donors from any side of any issue to set the agenda. As citizens, I encourage you to learn as much as you can about the changing landscape of schools in Ohio from as many sources as you can find.

We are so very fortunate to live in a community that continues to demonstrate its commitment to excellent educational opportunities for our young people. As superintendent of our school district, as the parent of a NHS graduate and of a second grader as well as a community member, I continue to be impressed and sincerely appreciate our community's commitment to our children and their future. We understand educating our youngsters is an investment in the future prosperity of our city, our state and our nation in addition to simply being the right thing to do. Providing these opportunities for our children is not a cheap proposition, but it is our school's commitment to work to do it well at a price we can afford.

Love this ONE!!!
Par SilversMom
de Montreal, Quebec
I love this product, but not the packaging, the rocks are alwys falling out and smearing my counter. Please fix this. The color glow this gives is so natural, can be used on lips on face and eyes, it is so versatile and lasts a long time too. Just fix the container and all will love it...
I would buy again
Par Wendy
de Sydney
This is a nice light blush, which I also use as an eyeshadow, that provides long lasting and nature looking glow (I work in an office with fluorescent lights so eyeshadows and blush tend to crease in my fine lines). I would definitely buy again!
Nice glow
Par Lizzie
de Brantford, Ontario
I bought this in early summer, actually it was the Hot Rocks Trio. Very pretty but impractical packaging. I dumped all three into a little tub with a full lid and now I have no issues. They provide a nice touch of colour without looking over done.

Best Blush Colour Ever!!
Par SHARON
de DARTMOUTH
As a freckled fair-skinned redhead I've always had a hard time finding the right shade, until now! This blush is perfect for my skin tone and really does look so natural! The product is lovely and light on your skin with a hint of a glow, not a frosty-type shimmer. Please please don't ever discontinue this product!!

Love it but....
Par GRACE
de INNISFIL
Love the Mineral Rocks, the colour is perfect for my cheeks as a blush, not too intense or too light and I love the way my cheeks glow when I smile, however, the box is a little flimsy and everytime I try to take the plastic cover off of them a few of the rocks fall out....I will definetly be re-ordering this product b/c its what I have been looking for, for a long time but please fix the packaging thank you.

Great glow to the face!
Par ROSLYN
de MT PEARL
I have tried most of the Pur Minerals line and have EXTREMELY sensitive skin. Love this product-does what it says and makes my very fair skin have a soft, natural glow without being over the top. TSC--PLEASE always keep this line and product in stock.The best "unmake-up" make-up I`ve ever used!

Disability Awareness Training Manual
The 2013-2018 Disability Action Plan has identified a need for more disability awareness within the University community, and to this aim a Disability Awareness Training Manual has been developed by the Disability Services Office.
The manual was launched during the University's first Disability Awareness Week (23-29 September 2014), and copies were provided to each Faculty's FDLO (Faculty Disability Liaison Officer) for their review and reference.
The Disability Awareness Training Manual includes Learning Modules covering the following:
- Disability
- Legislation
- Disabilities and their Impacts
- Reasonable Adjustments
- Inclusive Teaching and Accessible Learning
- Disability Awareness for Customer Service Professionals
The manual also provides information about how Disability Services works within the University, how students with disability are managed and supported, and provides staff with guidance as to their role in providing an inclusive environment at the University.
The Disability Awareness Training Manual is available to all general and academic staff, and new staff will be encouraged to include the manual as part of their induction training.
Download your copy of the Disability Awareness Training Manual.

I recently started working out with an outdoor fitness company called Basic Training. Now, let me be clear here and say that I am NOT a boot camp kind of girl. My idea of working out almost always has me barefoot. Which means I'm either doing yoga or dancing or just frolicking.
But I met the owner of Basic Training, Jennifer Pattee, and she blew me away and totally inspired me so I signed up and absolutely loved it. It brought out a younger, fiercely competitive version of me. And while my body said to me, "what the?!" when I started, my mind told it to "shut up and keep going" because I didn't want to embarrass myself. Being competitive has its perks and that's one of them.
Anyhow, as I was doing sit ups on the grass and looking up at the blue sky and listening to Jenn motivate us, I got this idea to do an interview series on "Finding your aha moment at work". I just couldn't help but think that Jenn was so born to do this. It came so naturally to her and she was really good at it. I loved that. And I wanted to know what her background was and how she got to doing work that she loves.
So, below starts the first of my interview series about "Finding your aha moment at work". I will be profiling people who left a soul-sucking job and found work that they were made for.
p.s. Save the date for June 9th – FREE Lemonade Event (When work hands you lemons…) at The Republic from 6-8pm where we'll be showing the critically acclaimed and incredibly inspiring documentary "Lemonade" and I'll be talking about how to leverage your network and find work you were made for.
Tell me about what you do for work.
I own an outdoor fitness company called Basic Training. I help people get into shape by training outdoors. We run, jump, sprint, shuffle, push, pull, stretch, crunch, and wrestle. Among other things. I try to make exercise something to look forward to. Bringing it outdoors helps. We also workout in a way that gets results for most people more effectively than a gym.
What type of work were you doing prior to what you are doing now?
Graphic Designer for Apple. I also worked for the Federal government and the nonprofit sector.
What kinds of frustrations did you have with your previous job?
In college I studied politics because I wanted to have a positive impact in the world. I wasn't sure exactly where or how. I liked working for organizations that were geared toward social change, but I was frustrated at how slow the Federal government worked and how disorganized the nonprofit sector was.
I discovered design, and became excited about using it as a vehicle for social change, but being in an office and commuting to Cupertino was not a good setup for me. One day I rode my bike in from San Francisco and it dawned on me that I was not supposed to be spending 90% of my life indoors.
Eventually my body started sending me louder signals. I developed a repetitive stress injury to my wrist that my doctor said would require surgery. It seemed too cyborg to me to cut into my body so I could click a mouse more efficiently. So I threw myself into the great unknown and decided to find a new path. It was heartbreaking at the time.
How did you come to discover this was what you were meant to do?
I had no idea at the time that I would make a great leader, and I never wanted to run my own business. But I had this opportunity to start leading classes because I had been taking them for so long – it's how I kept my sanity and stayed fit while I worked at my corporate job.
After I taught my first class I thought it went horribly, but I also loved every moment of it. Being outside, working closely with people, helping them be healthy, strong, empowered and having an immediate impact– all of it appealed to me. I also loved that it was finished in an hour–it was so efficient.
I stepped up my own training, which essentially meant I could go to classes all over the city and write it off as an education expense. Then I really threw myself into my teaching — the transformations in my clients were stunning.
I also helped grow the company I was working for. At a time when other gyms were going bankrupt, the fitness company I was promoting was booming based on the materials I designed.
When I branched out to do my own thing, it was scary but everyone who knew me said it was the right thing to do. The economy wasn't great and I didn't have a lot of capital, but I went for it. It helped that I had overwhelming support of my family, friends and clients.
What fears did you have to overcome to take the leap?
Falling on my face. Defaulting on my mortgage. No one signing up. Failing on all fronts.
What do you love most about what you do?
I love everything about it.
Watching people go from couch potatoes to athletes is incredibly gratifying.
I think running is a gift and so many people say they "hate" it or "can't" do it. We've taught so many people how to run. They send me the nicest Christmas cards to this day.
Helping people heal from injuries is really cool too. People write-off entire body parts like their knees or shoulders because they had an injury once, never got it checked out by the right person, and assumed they would never get full function again. We've helped a lot people get their body back, in more ways than one.
I also love it when someone comes to us because they want to lose 10 pounds, and end up changing their entire life. Gaining confidence, making new friends, getting into a relationship, running a marathon, changing jobs. It's awesome to watch people grow. And to think that simply showing up every day to run, jump, sprint, climb stairs, etc could help them get the things they want from their lives.
If you were to give advice to people thinking about changing careers, what would it be?
Don't wait for someone to give you permission. Or call me and I will tell you "it's ok, you can do it." (Or call Suzannah and she will tell you.) Life is too short to be in a job you don't leap out of bed for every single day. Your talents are desperately needed elsewhere. Figure out where that is.
It's ok if the journey scared you a little bit. Everyone is scared at first.

We've found something quite rare - a balanced law review article on TwIqbal. It's called Iqbal "Plausibility in Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Litigation," 71 La. L.R. 541 (Winter 2011), and it's by Prof. William Janssen (we don't think there's any connection to Janssen Pharmaceuticals of Oxycontin fame, but we don't know for sure one way or the other). The good professor sent us a copy, but for our readers we were able to locate an online copy here (see full article below for link). The article's relatively unbiased because it's empirical. Instead of trying to prescribe what the law should be with respect to TwIqbal and pleading, is sticks to what has happened. Having selected drug and device (not necessarily product) liability litigation, Prof. Janssen looks at over 250 TwIqbal cases and attempts to devine whether TwIqbal in fact changed the result. Without giving away everything in his article (which we found an interesting, if rather lengthy, read), he basically concludes that, all in all, TwIqbal doesn't matter all that much - affecting the outcome of, at most 21% of the cases reviewed. He sums up his conclusion thusly:
[I]f one is inclined to see in Iqbal the harbinger of momentous change in federal pleading, an arrival greeted either alarmingly (in fear of meritorious cases lost) or warmly (in appreciation of unmeritorious cases purged), the cause for either alarm or delight is waning. 71 La. L.R. at 643 (one of the incessant footnotes omitted). Not only was the difference all that great to begin with, but Prof. Janssen's study detects a decrease in TwIqbal's importance over time. Id.

The Blue Room (La Chambre bleue)
By Alan Scherstuhl
Not only are baby boomers gearing up to plunder Social Security, they continue to lionize their beloved TV touchstones with lamentable theatrical retreads. John Schultz's wan, unfunny The Honeymooners is unlikely to tickle devotees of Jackie Gleason's archetypal yuk-festthat show's setup (NYC bus driver Ralph Kramden cooks up knuckleheaded money-making schemes, verbally terrorizes wife and friends) barely serves as a framework for this version. The series' claustrophobic milieu is junked in favor of Manhattan money shots and plodding subplots, while Gleason's slow burn is reduced to listless double takes by comparative pussycat Cedric the Entertainer. The real problem is that the Kramdens' precarious financial situation, which gave the original its poignant frisson, is sidestepped. The movie would have us believe that an MTA stiff can afford scads of natty duds and the down payment on asweet Jesuspristine two-family Victorian in Brooklyn. MARK HOLCOMB

According to the Chronicle of Philanthropy, the top three corporate philanthropists (Wells Fargo, Walmart and Chevron) in 2012 gave nearly $900 million in cash in 2012. At the most fundamental level, do corporations have the power to make donations?
For corporations governed by the California General Corporation Law, the answer is generally yes. Section 207(e) of the California Corporations Code provides that a corporation has the power to "[m]ake donations, regardless of specific corporate benefit, for the public welfare or for community fund, hospital, charitable, educational, scientific, civic, or similar purposes". The power to make donations, however, is not without limits. The introductory clause to the enumeration of corporate powers in Section 207 subjects this power to all of the following:
Section 122(9) of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a Delaware corporation has the power to "[m]ake donations for the public welfare or for charitable, scientific or educational purposes, and in time of war or other national emergency in aid thereof". Delaware's statute appears to be more limited than California's – it doesn't specifically mention community fund, hospital, or civic purposes. It also doesn't include the catch-all "similar purposes". Delaware also doesn't expressly dispense with the requirement of a "specific corporate benefit". California, on the other hand, doesn't mention donations of aid in time of war or other national emergency. One wonders, however, why the Delaware legislature did not consider state or local emergencies worthy of mention.
Professor Bainbridge Takes On 44 Law Professors
The odds may not be as bad as those faced by King Leonidas, but Professor Stephen Bainbridge recently issued a reply to the 44 law professors who filed this amicus brief in the Hobby Lobby and Conestoga Wood cases that will be argued before the U.S. Supreme Court on March 25, 2014. Professor Bainbridge declares that the law professors' brief is "is replete with errors, overstated claims, or red herrings, and misdirection". His reply, A Critique of the Corporate Law Professors' Amicus Brief in Hobby Lobby and Conestoga Wood, is available here. Be sure to read footnote 50 where he cites this blog.

Last week, after the government declined to intervene in the case, the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California unsealed a qui tam False Claims Act (FCA) complaint filed by a whistleblower in April 2012 against numerous banks. U.S. ex rel Hastings v. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., No. 12-3624, Complaint (C.D. Cal. Apr. 26, 2012). The relator claims that the banks knowingly endorsed for FHA-insurance mortgage loans originated in transactions where down payment gift programs were used fraudulently. According to allegations in the complaint, the banks' programs generated gift funds by manipulating the sales price to pass FHA down payment assistance fees onto the buyer. Further, the alleged system forced the borrower to repay the down payment gift, a violation of FHA policy. The relator alleges that the banks then submitted to HUD false certifications for the non-compliant endorsed loans, upon which HUD relied to issue FHA mortgage insurance. The relator claims that the government was required to pay, and will continue to have to pay, FHA benefits on defaulted loans that contained material violations, and seeks treble damages and penalties under the FCA, a cease and desist order against the lenders, and a civil penalty of $5,500 to $11,000 for each alleged violation of the FCA.

To embed, copy and paste the code into your website or blog:
Where is your company's value?
If you are a young start-up company, it's probably in ideas. Any new invention, new way of attracting business, new way of streamlining a process, or anything else "new" starts with an idea. If value is located in an idea, how do you ensure that it is protected? With a Nondisclosure, Confidentiality, and Assignment of Inventions Agreement, generally known as an NDA.
NDAs can vary in form based on the specific needs of the company, but the most basic NDAs generally require an employee (a) not to disclose the company's confidential information to third parties and (b) to assign all "right, title, and interest" in the employee's inventions to the company if they are developed in the scope of his or her employment. Without an NDA, an employee (not the company) owns his or her inventions. Some suggest that an NDA component can be built directly into an offer letter or employment agreement; others prefer a more fulsome, free-standing NDA. In either case, legal counsel can easily review your forms to determine whether the company is sufficiently protected.
When it comes to asking an employee to assign his or her inventions to the company, he or she may feel nervous. What about your employee's prior inventions? What if the employee works on side projects at home that are completely unrelated to the company? While you should always discuss specific concerns with company counsel, these issues are often handled by including a section in the NDA where employees can specifically carve out prior inventions or inventions not related to their employment with the company.
Given its importance, don't view the NDA as just another document that a new employee may sign. Make sure every employee signs an NDA and make sure it is executed correctly. That means making sure (1) the employee has correctly filled in his or her name such that he or she is clearly a party to the agreement, (2) properly identifying any prior inventions he or she wants to carve out, and (3) that he or she actually signed the NDA. Believe it or not, typing your name in a stylish cursive font is typically not a valid signature…
After all, potential investors will be principally interested in seeing that you are protecting the company's value as well. Amidst investments or acquisitions, you will often need to represent that the company has executed NDAs from all relevant employees. And it's a lot easier to see these NDAs executed as each employee joins the team than to return to each employee in the heat of a deal to collect signatures.
Do yourself a favor: start with a strong NDA, be consistent in collecting copies from your employees, and eliminate one more concern to distract you from running your company.

Dierks Bentley Headlines Country Cares Concert For Fallen Firefighters [VIDEO]
Dierks Bentley is taking time out of his busy schedule to head back to his home state of Arizona to honor 19 firefighters who lost their lives in last week's wildfires.
Dierks Bentley is taking time out of his busy schedule to head back to his home state of Arizona to honor 19 firefighters who lost their lives in last week's wildfires.
Do you feel like you have waited forever for new music by one of our country music faves, Dierks Bentley? Well the wait is over!
Miranda Lambert and Dierks Bentley are having a whole lot of fun on the Locked and Reloaded Tour -- which they referred to as an adult jungle gym -- even branching out with a cover of Gotye's 'Somebody That I Used to Know.'
Miranda Lambert says she may perform to sold out crowds, win awards and sing into a sparkly microphone, but she claims she's just an ordinary girl.
Are you a huge Miranda Lambert or Dierks Bentley fan? Then you won't want to miss their upcoming Locked and ReLoaded Tour!
Miranda Lambert and Dierks Bentley are no strangers to collaboration. The pair of iconoclastic country performers, who are currently on tour together, also performed together at the 2013 Grammy Awards, singing Lambert's 'Over You' and Bentley's 'Home' with decidedly mixed results.
Country music promises to set the tone for the 2013 Grammy Awards on Sunday night (Feb. 10), as Taylor Swift will be the first artist to take the stage. Swift kicks off the 8PM CBS broadcast, but -- like so many of the other performances -- what she'll sing is still a mystery.
Dierks Bentley completed his annual lake jump on New Year's Day, this time in the balmy environs of Florida, where he and his band performed at the Capitol One Bowl on Tuesday. And the boys even got lovely pink bathrobes to commemorate the occasion!
Next year will mark 10 years since Dierks Bentley released his debut single 'What Was I Thinkin'.' Longtime country fans will remember that song as one of the most exciting debuts in country music history, but has it remained the 37-year-old's best song? After six albums and 19 singles, what is your favorite Dierks Bentley song?
With songs like "5150", and "Sideways" you know Dierks Bentley has done a little partying on the road, but lately he has cut back on the party, and has matured as a performer, and now folks are throwing "Granny Panties" on stage.
With summer winding down Dierks Bentley is planning the release of a four-song EP to iTunes August 21.
Summer is finally here and everyone is getting out to the lakes for a little fun in the sun including country star Dierks Bentley.

"Modernity and change are inevitable. There has to be some kind of compromise, yet some aspects of heritage must be preserved for the sake of future generations. Otherwise they will never be able to find their true roots and identity," said S.Suresh, convenor of the Tamil Nadu chapter of the Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage (INTACH).
He was speaking on the sidelines of a symposium 'Growth and development of Chennai city', organised as part of the 'Madras Week' celebrations at the Stella Maris College on Monday.
The evolution of the city over the centuries, after Francis Day stepped ashore one fine morning in 1639, was discussed at the event.
According to Mr.Suresh, Chennai still retains its old world charm — unlike Mumbai or Delhi — because the city was built by bringing together a group of villages. "Some parts of Chennai are older than old Delhi. Trade was happening between the Arabs and Mylapore as far back as the 11th century. Each of these villages had distinct cultural facets and some of them have lived on," he said.
While welcoming the changes the city has gone through, he however said there should be a constant dialogue between modernity and preservation. "Tondiarpet, Ennore and Georgetown were once the centres of the city. Now they are forgotten corners. There also needs to be more concern about the disappearing 'village spaces' and green spaces," said Mr.Suresh.
Presentations about various aspects of Chennai's history were made by students from different colleges. They ranged from the history of Chennai Corporation to the history of Tamil cinema and a common strand in all the presentations was the need to reconcile the present with the past.
As one student, Ahona of Stella Maris put it, "The city is home to ancient temple architecture and modern high rises; a rich cultural tradition and a growing night life. Only by bringing together the old and the new can the city move forward."
The History Department of the college also organised an exhibition on the history of Chennai city as part of the event.

Hello. I am in the process of converting a html website to a WordPress compatible theme for a project I am working on. It is the first time I have attemped a WP theme and by no means am I looking to release it.
I seem to be having a lot of trouble using css to style different catagories of links. I've spent more time in the last couple of days trying to figure out what I am doing wrong than I did with the rest of the theme.
The site is viewable at http://bantros.net/wasd
To try and explain what I mean I'll give an example of what I am trying to do. At the minute all the links (apart from the sidebar, which I successfully modified) are default, there are no stylings applied to them. What I would like to do is have different styles of links for the different sections of the blog, one style for the post title, one style for the "filed under" links, one style for the "logged in as" and another style for the footer.
Obviously I am doing something very wrong because when I try to define the link css for the footer, it is applying that style to the rest of the links. Sorry if the post is a bit long winded but I would very much appreciate any help, thanks

Good news for Apple product lovers. You will be able to purchase a new Apple device in next year. Apple is preparing to unveil a new device named "iWatch" in 2013. According to MacRumors, TGBus has reported that Apple will launch iWatch in the 1st half of next year. It will include 1.5-inch OLED display and Bluetooth support. TGBus has also reported that iWatch will be designed by Intel. Currently, Apple is working with Intel to manufacture this new device.
TGBus has reported that the display of iWatch will be manufactured by RiTdisplay. According to TGBus, iWatch is similar to Sony smart watch. If you are a big fan of Sony, then you might have heard about Sony smart watch. Recently Sony had launched this smart watch. Users can connect Sony smart watch with their Android smartphone, then they can read SMS and email using this watch. According to TGBus, iWatch will work in similar way. Users can connect their iPhone with iWatch, then they can read SMS and email on this watch. Users can also answer call using iWatch via Siri. This feature is not available in Sony smart watch. This feature will make iWatch more popular than Sony smart watch. It will be very interesting to use iWatch as it will allow users to answer call after connecting their iPhone.
Still no word from Apple regarding iWatch. If the report comes true, then Apple will launch iWatch in 2013 to compete with Sony smart watch. It is expected that iWatch will be a popular device just like iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Apple is also expected to unveil iPad mini 2 and iPhone 5S in next year. You have to wait until the 1st half of 2013 to buy iWatch. We are hoping Apple product lovers will definitely buy iWatch. Will you buy this new device?
