The Wisconsin Technical College System has named its next president from within, promoting longtime administrator Morna Foy to the top job overseeing the state's 16 technical college districts.
Foy has been an administrator in the system since 1998. She's been in her current job since 2005 as executive assistant and vice president of policy and government relations. She also worked in the Wisconsin legislative audit bureau from 1989 to 1998 as a program evaluation supervisor.
She becomes the 12th president — and first female president — in the system's 100-year history. She will start in January.
"The board knows that Morna will hit the ground running as a strong leader who builds upon our past success," said Mark Tyler, president of the technical college system board and chair of the presidential search committee, in a statement Thursday.

Official: Watch for lightning while boating
PHOENIX -- If you're planning on heading out to the lake this holiday weekend, an official suggested you be prepared by checking the weather forecast so you don't end up stuck on the water if a storm rips through.
"See these things way in advance, prepare for them, get off the water before they hit and practice good mariner's prudence," said Arizona Game and Fish Director of Watercraft Law enforcement Kevin Bergersen.
If you're on the water and see lightning then hear thunder about 30 seconds later, the cell is too close for comfort. Head to shore quickly, but not so quickly that the boat takes on water.
The forecast around Phoenix and surrounding areas does call for a 20-40 percent chance of rain.

CNU Letter to the EPA on Stormwater System Reform
This letter, sent by the Congress for the New Urbanism (CNU) to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the summer of 2010, requested a meeting between the two bodies to discuss reforms to the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). The letter suggested that current NPDES standards and policies had the unintended side effect of promoting sprawl, and suggested concrete solutions to this problem, to be achieved through reform to the NPDES. In the fall of 2010, the EPA responded to the letter and requested a meeting with the CNU and with the leaders of the so-called "Rainwater Initiative" who originally spearheaded the campaign. The EPA requested data on stormwater discharge in urban redeveloped areas and for ways to improve the NPDES so that it no longer inadvertently promotes sprawl.

Final Project: Wind
Creating something seemingly organic out of mechanism is part of my fascination. I had a vision of a field of grass (or possibly reeds or bamboo) which could sway "in the wind" in reaction to passers-by. It is an image of the wind blowing across a field, where radio-frequency signal strength replaces the wind, mechanism replaces the sense of flow across the grass. Often you see someone carrying or wearing a bluetooth-enabled device, but not everyone. This is the source of the wind I wanted to make, to have the field react to some people but not others. In this, I depict the "haves" as opposed to the "have-nots," thereby also making a statement about class differences.
I attempted to scale-down the scope of the project to that which might be achievable within the half-semester given. I restricted the field to just three elements, each which also doubled as the bluetooth signal strength receivers, the detection of the wind.
Figuring out how a conical range of motion could be achieved was one of my bigger challenges. I decided to go with brass parts (source: McMaster-Carr). The mechanism consists of four parts: a 1/2" ball, a 1/8" rod, and two countersunk finishing washers whose inside diameter turned out to be just enough smaller than the 1/2" diameter of the ball that it was an almost perfect sandwich. Drilling the 1/8" hole through the brass ball was somewhat tricky but could become routine after doing several of them. Clamping the ball without damaging it and centering the drill bit were the biggest challenges.
I built three enclosures (boxes) out of two solid aspen 4' x 6" boards, one 1/4" thickness, the other 1/2" thickness (source: Menards). The thicker boards served as the sides of the boxes and the 1/4" for the top.
The top was constructed from two 1/4" pieces of board to complete the sandwich holding the ball-joint mechanism. No adhesives were used for this, it was strictly a compression-fit. Each of the two boards had a tapered hole to hold the large brass washer. The hole was made from two sizes of drill bits, carefully kept concentric, then later carved to improve the fit with the shape of the washer.
The electronics was basic outside of the Arduino board itself. I made an external pc-board which assisted with making all the connections between servos, Arduino and the servo batteries. I also included a small, two-resistor circuit to define a built-in, hard-wired 2-bit address, so that each device could be unique (at this point, I knew I was making less than 4 devices). The idea behind the 2-bit address was an attempt to make dealing with the software a little easier -- instead of a custom-made program for each device, each device could run the identical software, but know their unique identity from its 2-bit address.
Another, small electronics challenge was that the servos needed one power supply, the Arduino-BT needed an other, lower voltage power supply. I decided to install two separate battery packs in each box, one with 2-AA batteries for the Arduino, and one with 4-AA batteries for the servos. They shared a common ground, so that the signals from PWM pins 9, 10 of the Arduino could control each of the servos.
There are two software components to what was demonstrated on critique day: (1) the Arduino sketch which was capable of producing servo motion based on commands it receives from its serial interface, and (2) the Processing sketch to send position coordinates to the Arduino via the serial interface.
When I was blocked by problems in working with the Arduino-BT devices, I had to rebuild one of the devices with an Arduino-NG (USB) tethered to a laptop and controlled by a Processing sketch from the laptop. The Processing sketch is simply a touchpad like interface that can control the motion of the tethered (USB-connected) device.
For demonstration during critique day, I setup the three devices as if they were all working. The tethered device connected to the Processing sketch on the laptop was enough to show a sense of the idea.
There's a lot yet to be done. I want to manifest this project to its original vision. As a system, I would separate the "bluetooth listeners" from the actual "field nodes" and perhaps introduce a centralized component which collects data from the listeners, performs the triangulation and other calculations (position of a bluetooth source, speed, direction and signal strength). The central component would then, somehow, broadcast to the field what movements should occur.
Concept drawing:
There are other items I wish to explore. The servo motors are too noisy, stepper motors may improve that, although I might explore changes in the mechanism, since steppers can "keep rotating" as opposed to servo's limitation at about 180 degrees of rotation (and then, only back and forth). I've also been thinking about a solenoid mechanism, perhaps used with springs, for a completely different type of movement, as a variation.
From the software point of view, I might consider using the AvrX kernel instead of the arduino software. That is, if I wish to put have more threads of execution running on each device, each node. One thought was to create an elliptical movement, where the input parameters to it would be the foci (positions) the rate of rotation, and the direction.
And I'm sure my explorations will lead be in even other directions.

He has no qualms about discussing McGregor's talent, which is carefully managed by the young actor's mother - and Lawson's sister - Carol McGregor. In fact, he says he remembers the moment he realised his nephew was going to be famous. ''He was playing Orlando in As You Like It in his second year at drama college,'' recalls Lawson. ''And he was extraordinary. He was on a completely different level from everybody else. But I couldn't say at the time because it was too much. I couldn't say to him, 'You know you're going to be a huge star.' I couldn't even say it to my sister. It was just silly. But what surprised me was how fast it happened. That was fantastic.'' Family seems to be the great stabilising factor in Lawson's life. He glows when he talks about his actress partner of 15 years, Sheila Gish, with whom he shares a house in Chalk Farm. ''We met filming in Wales on something called The Uncertain Feeling, a Kingsley Amis adaptation and yes, it was love at first sight,'' he says grinning. ''And it's been great - it's a wonderful relationship. She's very, very important to me.'' He is equally close to Gish's actress daughters Lou Gish and Kay Curram. All three acted together in Lawson's short film The Base Player. Lawson is also immensely proud of his own son Jamie, who at 21 has just graduated in anthropology and archaeology from Durham University and plans to be a diplomat. No acting for Jamie then? ''I offered him a part in my film,'' says Lawson. ''But he turned me down.'' The strong family ties also go a long way to explaining Lawson's history of working himself to exhaustion. ''It's a genetic thing,'' he reckons. ''My parents came out of Glasgow during the Depression and both - particularly my father - had very tough childhoods. They fought their way out of it.'' Lawson, while he clearly has no need to, is still fighting lest the wolf show up at the door of his North London home 60 years on. If he has calmed down in recent years he says he has taught himself to do so - ''I've just kind of trained myself to go to bed'' - although Jack Black's positive thinking therapy Mindstore comes into the picture somewhere. ''If someone had laid a big spiritual trip on me I would not have gone for it,'' he says. ''But Jack is very direct. It's intensely practical stuff.'' It seems unlikely he'll ever become a man of transcendental leisure though. At 78 years old, his mother, who Lawson describes as ''a dynamo of energy'', is only just retiring from the Crieff watchmaker and jeweller's shop she and her late husband ran for most of their adult lives. For someone who works so hard, Lawson has never really chased the Hollywood buck. Like his closest actor friends Alan Rickman, Kenneth Branagh and Simon Callow he has spent much of his career on the stage, and while his film CV includes roles in Local Hero and Star Wars, he is just as happy to star in short films by lesser-known directors simply because they interest him. While the bulk of his screen work has been on television, he has avoided becoming identified with one particular character. All of which could be set to change with his role as DI Morris Rose in young Jewish writer David Solomons' first outing, The Fabulous Bagel Boys. Produced by the makers of Hamish MacBeth, it appears this cop - or cop-deli - drama is being vaunted by BBC Scotland as their ratings answer to Scottish Television Taggart. All of this makes it quite feasible that Lawson could end up hearing cries of ''Inspector Rose, there's been a murder'' everywhere he goes. So how does he feel about the prospect of being identified with DI Morris Rose? ''I know what you're saying,'' he says, ''and it's something I have fought shy for a very long time. But the idea of doing more of this is appealing because the characters are so strong and the writing is so good. It's very funny, very offbeat. And it's quite different from most cop shows. Nothing much actually happens which is probably a lot more what policing is like. And there's a lot of humour in that.'' Playing a cop is another first for Lawson: ''I never thought I'd be interested in playing a policeman, but the Jewish side of the show appealed to me. I've always been interested in Jewish culture, but never had a chance to dip into it. This gave me an excuse. ''I've always felt a very strong affinity with Jewish people,'' he adds. ''Over the years I find I've become very friendly with certain people I've worked with - actors, producers, whatever - and then two or three years later I discover they're Jewish. I do have a very strong suspicion there is Jewish blood somewhere in my family.'' In many ways, he believes, this has shaped the droll wit that is his signature. As a child he loved to go the movies and the performers who inspired him most were Jerry Lewis, Danny Kaye and The Marx Brothers. ''I didn't realise it at the time,'' he says, ''but it was that dry Jewish sense of humour. I really connected with it.'' He feels pleased now to be part of something that makes a real attempt to reflect Jewish life: ''I think it's an interesting move and quite a brave one to set something in a minority culture in Scotland. ~I did feel a tremendous sense of responsibility to be faithful to the Jewish culture. I don't think any of us went in and did 'Jewish acting'. That would have been patronising. If you meet contemporary Jewish people in Glasgow they don't act differently from anyone else. It was important to represent them properly.'' You get the feeling he means it. It's easy for an actor to feign interest in a subject while they're right in the middle of it. Okay so he's cheerleading for the programme but, believe me, nobody eats that much chopped herring for show. And that's how it is with Denis Lawson. He's acting his pants off 75% of the time but there is something genuine driving him. And nowhere is that more evident than in his relationship with his nephew. He could play down his younger relative's fame, but he draws attention to it by casting him in his first play. Didn't he worry about failing with the eyes of the world trained on him. ''No,'' he says emphatically. ''I didn't worry at all.'' Of course, I think, he may well have worried at the time, but he's sure as hell not going to tell me if he did. And why should he? After all, the show must go on. n
The Fabulous Bagel Boys is on BBC1, 9pm, Thursday

Winter 2004, Volume 16, Number 2
Hopkins neurosurgeon-in-chief speaks out on the pros of brain tumor trials.
Neurosurgeon in Chief,
Henry Brem, M.D.
Each year, some 20,000 people in the United States leave a doctor's office knowing they have a primary brain tumor. More than half of those tumors are high-grade astrocytomas that kill: That's the stark truth that powers brain cancer research in this country. No small wonder, then, that Neurosurgeon in Chief Henry Brem, M.D., whose surgical practice gets worldwide referrals for brain tumors, says clinical trials stand out as his profession's best hope.
Brem not only advocates trials in principle, but his own approaches often come up for testing. At Hopkins, he reinstituted the Hunterian Neurosurgical Research Laboratory, originally begun by Harvey Cushing. The chemotherapy-laced, biodegradable wafer he helped develop and advance is the first FDA-approved local therapy-it's implanted on the surgical surface-to help brain tumor patients.
Brem's worked more than most to hasten therapy. In 1994, he and neuro-oncologist Stuart Grossman, M.D., started New Approaches to Brain Tumor Therapy (NABTT), an NIH-funded consortium of 11 top medical institutions that shares premier-quality trials for drugs, immune therapy and other approaches. Now, Brem uses his bully pulpit as head of Neurosurgery to advocate for trials.
Q. Patients are wary of clinical trials. Sometimes their doctors are as well. What could you say to convince them?
A. Start with the facts! Studies show patients in trials do better than those who aren't. Cancer patients in clinical studies have better outcomes, regardless of the treatment. They live longer with a better quality of life.
Q. Regardless of the treatment? Is that due to a placebo effect?
A. No, I think it's tied to human nature. People enrolled in trials get a standard of care that's beyond optimal. We believe our normal care is optimal. But because physicians in trials know people are observing the data, the quality of what they deliver is extremely high. Anybody does a bit more if the supervisor's in the room.
Q. Do we have many brain tumor trials ongoing?
A. Fifteen are still recruiting. Some are Hopkins-initiated and approved by our institutional review board. Others, like the NABTT studies, are part of larger, multicenter projects.
Q. You said a quandary surrounds the trials?
A. Yes. It can be difficult for patients to decide whether to participate. Say a patient gets a standard treatment drug. That patient may be excluded, then, from a trial of a new systemic agent as an initial therapy. True, the standard offers improved survival, but it's not a cure. So patient and physician must decide whether known benefits outweigh potential promise of a new treatment.
That creates a lot of tension in an institution! You find yourself saying, "We have to do better for patients," but still, there's that existing help, even though it's temporary.
Q. And most patients choose...
A. The treatment of known benefit. But there is an out. If the tumor recurs, they can still try a trial designed for recurring disease. That's why most new therapies first appear for clinical failure rather than the initial approach.
Q. What keeps you able to face patients with terminal tumors?
A. I alternate between two approaches. First, I feel it's my obligation to see patients get the best possible care, no matter what the probable outcome. That focuses my energy; it gives me drive.
But if that's all I did, it would be depressing. So I'm also obligated to try to improve their care through research. It gives hope, even in a dismal disease, to me as well as to patients. In the long run, it's the balance that keeps us all going.

Two years before the publication of his second novel, Dark Princess: A Romance (1928), W.E.B. Du Bois published what is, perhaps, his most important essay on cultural aesthetics. In his signal 1926 essay, "Criteria of Negro Art", Du Bois argued that art is both a concept and an intellectual activity of major importance that is central to social and political commitments. Linking art, including and especially literature, to various types of social phenomena, and articulating his vision of the role and function of art in social and political life, Du Bois conceived of art as a medium of critical exchange. He saw its expression as representative of a preponderance of ideas and ideals: its charge was to …

Does anyone know if the Georgetown harbor have put up their flood barriers in perperation for the likely flooding?
Haven't heard about the flood barriers in Georgetown; I would HOPE they'd put them up soon. If it turns out they're not needed, no big problem. But that would be too much like planning ahead and who around here in charge does that?
We so far only got the light rain and wind .I live in the mongomery county of maryland. When is the storm going to hit us?
Keep us safe, this is nothing... the Weatherman make all this up to fill the news. for Gods sake they can never get a storm right..... What about the people in Katrina.... where was all the news for that..... No one cared till it was over.....

One from the bizarre dept: Nestlé claims to have a drink that can reverse the effects of ageing in both people and pets (WO 02/071874). The aim is to compensate for underperforming mitochondria, the tiny "powerhouses" that live in most cells. As we age, the mitochondria suffer oxidative damage, causing physical damage to the body.
Starving in middle age may help - but that's an unpopular idea. Nestlé says its new drink mimics the effect of starvation, without starving. Acetyl-L-carnitine, a substance that makes mitochondria produce more ATP (the fuel that powers cells), is mixed with a cocktail of antioxidants, plus a little rice carbohydrate and fish protein. Dogs fed this magic mix, "restored age-related deficits", says Nestlé. The patent even claims the drink has rejuvenating effects on people.

Reds And Cards Exchange Kicks And Punches In Bench-Clearing Brawl (Video)
Think baseball is boring because of its lack of physicality? Sounds like you should start watching more games between the Cincinnati Reds and the St. Louis Cardinals. If there was any doubt as to how these two teams felt about each other, those questions were answered last night when they engaged in a heated brawl […]
The Stat Line of the Night — 6/1/10 — Scott Rolen
Scott Rolen was on the St. Louis Cardinals when they won the World Series in 2006. In fact, he was an integral part of that team. His hitting and fielding helped propel the Cards to the Championship. Unfortunately for Rolen, his injury woes caught up with him the next year and he was traded away. […]

What do you hope from Korn's next album?
Here's what I hope:
1. They find a replacement for Head.
2. Jon finds some new topics to sing about.
3. Something with the heaviness of Korn III yet experimental like Issues or Untitled.

Re: What do you hope from Korn's next album?
After the dubKorn album, I'm hoping that they continue down an experimental road again. Untouchables, Untitled, and Issues are my favorite Korn albums and are also the most experimental. If Get Up is any indication, The Path to Totality will be another great Korn experiment.
I also think that Munk needs a new guitar partner to help with writing riffs and whatnot. Jonathan's alright, but a dedicated 'guitarist' would make more sense to help write guitar parts instead of the band's singer. Whether they just bring in a session guitarist (like they did with drums on Untitled) or a permanant addition (like Ray on Korn III), they could do with another guitarist.

What you're calling the "KDE splash screen" is kdm, the display manager
maintained by some KDE person. Alternative display managers include gdm
(from the GNOME cult) and plain ol' xdm.
Nice thing about xdm is that you can kill it (and the X server engine
riding herd on it) by simply pressing Ctrl-R ("remove from memory").
_Any_ display manager can start up _any_ window manager, with or without
also starting some thundering herd of "desktop environment" cruft via
xinitrc, Xsession, or similar scripts that you're supposed to not notice
are editable and thus within your control.
<gurumode> Achieving higher consciousness requires ridding your mind of
such illusory notions as "going into" desktop environments. The
enlightened know that there are only display managers, window managers,
X server processes, session managers, and run-of-the-mill X processes.
All else is samsara. </gurumode>

'True Blood' Season 7: Will Alexander Skarsgard return as a series regular?Add to Favorites | True Blood
"True Blood" finally killed off one main character for good in Season 6, so did it have the guts to kill off another? Many were concerned that Eric Northman's seeming death in the Season 6 finale "Radioactive" would mean Alexander Skarsgard isn't returning to the show in Season 7.
But wait, no one really thought that would happen, did they? In a new interview, "True Blood" showrunner confirms Skarsgard will indeed be back in the upcoming Season 7.
"I can tell you that Alexander Skarsgard is going to be a part of the next season of 'True Blood.' He will be a series regular," Buckner tells TVLine. "I'm not going to take Alex Skarsgard out of people's living rooms."
Just don't expect to see Eric miraculously whole and hearty at the beginning of Season 7. "That would be a cheat, wouldn't it? That would be an incredible cheat. Pam has gone off in search of Eric, and maybe she's going to be the one to find him, y'know?" Buckner adds.
With that being said, Buckner acknowledges that "True Blood" is in need of a change, which is why the series jumped forward six months at the end of "Radioactive."
"I'm aware that people like the familiar, but we have to change. We have to be able to pivot. There were bits of story in there that I didn't necessarily, nor did any of the other writers, want to show," he says. "Sometimes it's really refreshing to be able to shuffle the deck. For me, it's fun. We will obviously pick up some of the pieces and explain how certain things happened. But what I think some people found jarring, to me was really refreshing. It was that: The world has changed, this virus has mutated, and this is the way the world is going to look now. Meanwhile, life beats on in this small town."
As for Sookie's love life, it sounds like Eric is officially out of the picture. "To me, with Eric gone and off on his own story going forward, I think it's a pretty obvious triangle we're setting up between Bill and Sookie and Alcide," Buckner says.
"True Blood" Season 7 is due on HBO in 2014.

Smart clothes promise to weave technology into everyday garments – but what do you do when they get dirty?
In-fabric wiring that cannot cope with the moisture, heat and stresses of a wash-and-spin cycle is no good to anyone. But now a team at the Institute of Textiles and Clothing in Hong Kong, China, has hit on a highly stretchable fabric formulation that can withstand multiple machine washes.
What Xiao-Ming Tao and her colleagues have engineered is a textile so shot through with electrical wiring that they call it a fabric circuit board (FCB). Microchips and other components can be incorporated into it, and they remain connected when flexed.
The material comprises multiple filaments of pre-stretched elastic yarn and polyurethane-coated copper fibres. They are combined using a computerised knitting machine (see picture, above right).
In regular wear and tear, the team's tests show the material can be stretched by 20 per cent about a million times before any of the fibres fail. And like a regular circuit board, Tao says, the fabric can be used in multiple layers thanks to the polyurethane insulation surrounding the copper. Currents can be carried just like in regular circuit boards.
Military app
Among other uses, the team has shown how its fabric can be built into a soldier's bulletproof Kevlar vest (see video, above). If the wearer is shot, the material can sense the bullet's impact and send radio a message back to a base.
But it is washability that is most vital for mass consumer use – and after multiple cycles in a Whirlpool washing machine they found no problems with deformation or electrical resistance until the material had undergone at least than 30 washes at 40 °C and drying at 75 °C.
Such performance could be what smart clothing advocates have been waiting for, says Lucy Dunne, a wearable technology expert at the University of Minnesota in St Paul. "Washability is a big plus for e-textile circuits, as is durability of the embedded conductors," she says. "And as stretchable fabrics are increasingly common in everyday clothing, a conductor that isn't affected by stretching will improve both comfort and aesthetics."
And Dunne thinks demonstrating the technology's use in a bulletproof vest is impressive. "The ballistic application is pretty neat."

The Shawshank Redemption EssayFriday, March 4th, 2011
Exploring Themes and Motifs in The Shawshank Redemption Essay
The Shawshank Redemption is a film adaptation of Stephen's King's Novella Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption. Directed by Frank Darabont starring Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman, the film was nominated for seven Oscars in the year 1994.
When writing The Shawshank Redemption Essay as a film coursework or English Term Paper, you can choose to explore the themes of loneliness, self-worth, hope and redemption and their delineation in the movie and the novella with the use of motifs, and other literary devices.
If you are stuck with your term paper on The Shawshank Redemption, let us offer you some useful insights to help you get going. If you are looking for a custom essay writing service or essay editing help, feel free to get in touch with our team of essay experts.
Useful Insights for a Unique The Shawshank Redemption Essay
A Comparative Analysis of the Book and its Media Adaptation
Most of the film adaptations of Stephen King's novels have enjoyed less than expected critical and social appeal. Is it the graphic and pictorial appeal in words so captivating that capturing the essence of it is a challenge not taken worthily by directors? When writing The Shawshank Redemption Essay, bring to light the aspects that make media adaptation of Stephen King's novels in general and The Shawshank Redemption in particular an art form of lesser appeal. However, if you think vice versa, refute the general presumption and argue against it in your essay.
The Importance of first Personal Narrative in the Overall Impact of the Story
Narration plays an important role in bringing about the desired impact upon the reader and viewer. The Shawshank Redemption is narrated in a first person narrative, a narrative technique that makes the novel credible, authentic, and engaging. When writing an English essay on the novel or its film adaptation, you may choose to evaluate and compare other modes of narration that could have been used in the novel for better appeal. Bring to light the limitation of first persona narration with respect to Red's narration of Shawshank's experiences.
Evaluating the Obvious and the Underlying Themes
The "innocent man in the prison" theme has been dealt from a fresh perspective in Shawshank Redemption. While most literature on similar theme delves into the motifs of escape, alienation, suffering and acceptance; The Shawshank Redemption concentrates on the brighter side of life in prison. It projects prison walls inside a human mind and shows how slavery and liberation, enslavement and redemption lies within. When writing an English Essay, discuss the nuances of varied themes that run throughout the movie. You may also bring to aid, the use of cinematography, music and other devices to highlight the themes of the story.

THE decision by the Bank of Zambia (BoZ) to cap lending interest rates is a positive shift which will curb exploitation and forestall distortions in the country's economic outlay.
It is a resolute decision which has come on the heels of several other major interventions aimed at realigning Zambia's economic and social landscape.
In the new measure, the maximum effective annual lending rate for non-bank financial institutions designated as microfinance service providers will not exceed 42 per cent while other non-bank financial institutions will have a ceiling of 30 per cent.
In November 2011, BoZ reduced statutory reserve ratios on both Kwacha and foreign currency from eight to five per cent, a move which led to the release of an additional K700 billion to commercial banks.
This money was set for lending to the private sector and pushed lending rates downwards.
Statutory reserves are liquid assets that firms must hold at the central Bank in order to remain solvent and attain partial protection against a substantial investment loss.
In the national Budget presented in 2011 soon after the Patriotic Front (PF) assumed power, corporate tax for commercial banks was reduced from 40 to 35 per cent to enable financial institutions to mobilise sufficient funds for lending. This pushed lending rates downwards.
All these interventions have had a positive effect on the economy.
The capping, therefore, is timely because non-bank financial institutions have had leverage in pegging lending rates which in most cases have been exorbitant.
This is aimed at making borrowing from non-bank financial institutions more affordable and equitable, especially to the vulnerable micro-borrowers.
Yes, as the Central Bank has noted, some non-bank financial institutions have continued to charge their customers high rates.
Some of them have been dangling a carrot to desperate customers such as pledging to process and issue 'soft' loans within 30 minutes.
All they ask for is a letter from employers, latest payslip, and a personal identification card.
Many a time, some Zambian workers fall prey to this seemingly attractive package in desperate situations.
The microfinance institutions have been making super profits from high lending interest rates.
Their contribution to the economy was in fact misery which affected ordinary customers, who laboured to pay back at exorbitant levels.
No reasonable business enterprise would ever attempt to borrow from microfinance institutions.
In fact, microfinance institutions should depart from providing personal consumer loans and concentrate their book loans to the private sector.
In particular, they should target the small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in order to contribute meaningfully to economic growth.
There are about 32 microfinance institutions licensed by the Central Bank out of which six are deposit-taking institutions.
We hope, therefore, that BoZ would be able to supervise and invoke its regulatory powers to deregister non-bank financial institutions that would be abrogating regulations.
The Government is in a hurry to ensure the economy is stable and free from financial haemorrhage associated with imbalances in the economic disposition.
We also caution Zambian workers who rush to borrow at every turn from microfinance institutions to desist from the practice; they should only do so when necessary.

The residency program of Intermountain Healthcare is an organized, directed, postgraduate training program in pharmacy practice.
Training is provided in acute care, primary care, drug information, practice management and drug policy development.
Rotation sites are available at four health care facilities: Intermountain Medical Center, Primary Children's Hospital, McKay-Dee Hospital, and Utah Valley Regional Medical Center as well as the Intermountain Healthcare Corporate Office.
Pharmacists completing Intermountain's Pharmacy Residency program will be competent and confident practitioners of direct patient care in multiple practice and patient care environments. They will be able to identify and resolve potential and actual patient-specific, drug related problems and will be accountable for achieving optimal drug therapy outcomes as members of the health care team.
These pharmacists will become skilled educators, both verbally and in writing, of health care professionals, students, patients, and the community. They will demonstrate professional maturity by independently following a personal philosophy of practice, monitoring their own performance, exhibiting commitment to the profession, and exercising leadership in improving the safety of the medication-use system.
As highly trained professionals, these pharmacists will be well prepared to compete in today's job market.
Though the residents will have access to rotations at all practice sites, for staffing and other requirements, residents will match through the ASHP match program to one of the following facilities:
In addition to these ten PGY1 positions, Intermountain Healthcare also offers a PGY1 in managed care, with Select Health, Ambulatory Care, a combined PGY1/PGY2 Health Systems Pharmacy Administration (Management) Residency, and PGY2 Residencies in Ambulatory Care, Cardiology, Critical Care, Emergency Medicine, Pediatrics, and Solid Organ Transplant.
The program consists of a minimum of 2000 contact hours in a variety of practice settings. The Program Director, Program Site Coordinators and the preceptors will assist the residents in selecting rotations to meet each individual's professional goals, the ASHP Pharmacy Residency Standards, and the ASHP residency learning objectives.
Rotations can be tailored to the resident's interests, with required rotation in Internal Medicine, Ambulatory Care, and Practice Management. Of the six elective rotations, three are done at the resident's "home base" facility, but the other three can be done throughout the system. View the rotation list for rotation options at all the facilities, including LDS Hospital and the Intermountain Healthcare Corporate Office.

Marilyn Monroe impersonator Emily Gilbert accuses Bob Filner of sexual harassment
Alleged incident happend at charity event
SAN DIEGO - A Marilyn Monroe impersonator has become the ninth woman to accuse Bob Filner of sexual harassment.
San Diegan Emily Gilbert has performed as Marilyn Monroe for several years, but she sang as herself during a charity performance late last year for children and families.
It was at that event, Gilbert said, that the mayor "took me to the side and he said, 'Oh, Marilyn, you look so amazing,' even though I wasn't performing as Marilyn that day."
Gilbert added, "He touched my arm, held me too long; he rubbed the small of my back and grabbed my derriere."
Gilbert admitted that people see the sex appeal in her performances as Monroe, but she stressed that the incident happened at a charity event and noted that she is a married woman.
"Obviously, as an entertainer, people look at you that way, but I've never had a client touch me in the way that the mayor did," Gilbert said.
Gilbert said she decided to speak out when Filner decided not to step down.
She said she has no plans for money or to participate in any lawsuit; she just wants Filner gone.
"I really don't think he deserves the position. Two weeks in rehab isn't going to change his behavior … especially at the age he's at now," Gilbert said.

One Hard Sell Rules Them All vs Answering Needs
In the traditional model there is One Message which because of its cost is aimed at a Large Group of People. To engage them, the One Message appeals to the Largest Common Denominator.
The result is that some are somewhat interested but no-one is specifically interested.
To see this method at work, go to your recycle bin: that pile of junk mail, fliers and door-to-door material " most of which you didn't even look at let alone read " is the traditional method.
How would you like to reproduce this method in a digital format?
Would putting your brochure online enhance its efficiency?
Putting your brochure online, preferably with ecommerce abilities so people can buy straight from your web site, is a cost-efficient way to make the Large Group of People that you can reach with your One Message larger. But it doesn't sell more.
Read that again: it doesn't sell more.
So, as was the case with the traditional model, you'll need to make your Large Group of People even larger. Maybe you're thinking about online advertising now?
That too doesn't sell more. Larger numbers get larger numbers but relatively speaking nothing changes.
The New Model
In the traditional model, in order to sell we have to create a need.
In the new model, in order to sell we have to answer needs. Answer. Needs: multiple.
How do we do that?
- We Identify needs
- by tracking our brand, our product, our industry, our space
- so we can respond with detailed, helpful, specific, problem solving content
- written in the very words and phrases employed by those in need
- whom in turn will reference your post, your content, your site
- which will cause your site to bubble up for queries around those issues and, increasingly, for associated issues
The result is hundreds of messages, geared towards the smallest common denominator, so that every visitor is specifically interested.
Show Me the Money!
If it's not immediately apparent where the money is in this model, think about supermarkets giving free cooking lessons. Where are the participants likely to get their ingredients?
By answering the needs of potential customers and solving the problems of existing ones you create a place where free content, free solutions and premium items co-exist in a natural way in an environment and atmosphere which is favorable to you and your brand.

My paid passion at Search Engine People sees me applying my passions and knowledge to a wide array of problems, ones I usually experience as challenges. People who know me know I love coffee.
7 Responses to "One Hard Sell Rules Them All vs Answering Needs"
Nice Ruud, I like the bullet points on identifying peoples needs. For years I was guilty of neglecting many of the basic questions people wanted to know about my industry. Changing that model to follow what you highlighted above has made all the difference.
This kind of getting back to basics is urgently needed now. For some strange reason, what is taken for granted in the real world is forgotten and people look for other magic potions on the net. This post bursts that bubble alright.
That is an excellent example of creating a need that you gave: cooking lessons at a super market. Yes I would also be inspired to try out new dishes for which I would source the ingredients from a conveniently close by location.
Identify and answering to the questions people have in mind will definitely boost your popularity and authority in the industry which eventually leads to potential leads too. Nice article. Rif Chia
[…] we asked how to start doing online marketing we saw that the traditional hard-sell method of one message fits all is based on creating a need […]
hahaha! the first pic is a killer. I totally agree with this article.
[…] you market your business the old-fashioned way, you're probably using broadcast and outbound marketing, such as a commercial on TV or the radio. You're hoping that: the masses watch (or hear) it, […]
