It takes "The Double" less than half an hour to reveal who the double is. That's if you're lucky enough to avoid the movie's trailer, which just comes right out and tells you.
At that point, Peggy Lee lyrics went humming through my mind ("Is that all there is?"), and veteran thriller fan that I am, I began to suspect the movie had more than one double. That would be so incredible and absurd that I thought it was possible. Here is a movie constructed from basic parts at the Used Screenplay Store, with a character plugged in whenever one is required.
Still, it is a pleasure to see Richard Gere in the lead. He's an actor who has been improbably attractive all of his career and now, at 62, has only improved with age. I like the subtle catlike body language he uses, such as moving for a millisecond, pausing, then moving definitively. Or the pause in a head movement, as if we're being told: Thinking … deciding … acting. He never just flat does something. It's a form of dancing. He is permanently on poise.
In "The Double," he plays a retired CIA agent named Paul Shepherdson. In the history of CIA agents in movies, no retired agent is ever allowed to stay retired. He is inexorably called back to duty in connection with a big case from his youth. Given his age, there are no characters seemingly old enough to go that far back, except for current CIA director Tom Highland (Martin Sheen), but he isn't onscreen enough to qualify.
Under my Law of Economy of Characters, that leaves Ben Geary (Topher Grace), an FBI agent who is 30ish and has a wife, Natalie (Odette Yustman), and child. But he's way too young. So the movie leads us to assume the big case involves entirely unseen characters. We've seen some suspects. The story opens with a group of illegal immigrants being led through the desert into the United States from Mexico by a mule. They are revealed to be Russian agents.
Think about that for a second. If you were Russia and you were trying to sneak a bunch of agents into the United States, would you assemble them in one handy group and try to sneak them past the Border Patrol? When you can buy a plane ticket from Moscow to New York? How many Russian agents do you think have entered from Mexico in recent decades?
Never mind. A U.S. Senator with business ties to Russia has his throat slit in an alley. The method of murder reveals the trademark of Cassius, the CIA's code name for a Russian assassin. Is he back in the States and operating again? Shepherdson is positive he killed him years ago. Ben Geary has his doubts. The two men are asked by Highland to work together on the case. As Shephardson knows, Geary wrote his Harvard master's thesis on Cassius and knows whatever can be discovered about him.
At this point, even if we haven't seen the trailer, we know more. The suspense circles around what Geary doesn't know, and the possible danger to his life and family. This intrigue now plugs in familiar action-movie tropes, including a vicious Russian named Brutus (Stephen Moyer) with the most decorative scars around his eye I've seen in a while. There is also a car chase, and another one of those scenes where two guys split up, search a maze and meet up empty-handed on the other side.
Richard Gere always has a particular screen presence, Topher Grace is a little outgunned, but the story explains why. Poor Odette Yustman is sympathetic and affectionate, but she's been assigned the thankless and exhausting role of playing the wife of the endangered man, always there to worry about him, be endangered and put the kid to bed.
The movie was directed by Michael Brandt, who co-wrote the script with Derek Haas. Together they wrote a much better movie, "3:10 to Yuma." "The Double" doesn't approach it in terms of quality. None of it is particularly compelling. Most of the time we're waiting for the other shoe to drop. When, very late in the film, the screenplay comes up with a third shoe, that's going too far.

Originally written on Fox Sports Midwest | Last updated 11/28/12
SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) Colin Kaepernick will start at quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday at St. Louis. Coach Jim Harbaugh made the announcement Wednesday that Kaepernick would go over Alex Smith after the second-year pro led the NFC West-leading Niners (8-2-1) to victories in the past two games, his first two NFL starts. He says, "Colin we believe has the hot hand." Kaepernick has completed 48 of 74 passes for 680 yards and three touchdowns with one interception and was sacked six times. He has a 102.3 passer rating. Smith, the 2005 No. 1 overall draft pick, hardly looked happy on the sideline during Sunday's win over the Saints after being medically cleared from a concussion suffered in the first half of a 24-24 tie against St. Louis on Nov. 11.

It's impossible to look at the Patriots defense right now and say that their performance is acceptable. They've been bad. Very bad. According to Greg Bedard in the Globe today says that Sunday's performance against the Bills "had to be among the worst performances by a Bill Belichick defense in his tenure with the Patriots." OK, maybe it was. But then the next sentence is "In an effort to quantify how bad this was, we went through our data, which goes back to the start of the 2011 season in this regard." I'm not really sure how you can compare 12 ½ seasons with less than two years worth of data, but hey, knock yourself out. I'm not trying to pick on Greg too much, because I do think he does a very good job overall, but on Twit

The significance of ginger for dogs is frequently consumed as a medicine or spice in different pattern of usage. Various homemade dog foods contain ginger. As it is known widely, Ginger is rich in vitamins and minerals, and it has diverse health benefits like anti-viral, anti-toxic and anti-fungal.
Ginger can relieve stomach and motion sickness, not only in humans but also in dogs. Ginger capsules in fresh,tea or oil form are all the alternative medicinal conditions to give to your dog when it has motion sickness. If you suspect your dog is under the hand of motion sickness, give it ginger about 30 minutes prior to allow it to take effect. Even though they are not as potent as it is to be in ginger content, you may also want to keep ginger snaps with you for the ride in if the dog needs another quick dose before you stop. Most of the time, people are interested in traveling with their dogs by car, but if your dog has motion sickness, the condition may be changed to a terrible trip. It is revealed that Ginger for dogs is effective at relieving the carsickness and Ginger cookies, either in fresh or pickled one can all be used as a relief from motion sickness. Before driving, you should feed the dog with small amounts so that the probability of vomiting and nausea may be minimized.
Control and Application of ginger for dogs
Recent researches have proved that ginger for dogs can activate the abnormal blood circulation and aid lower the level of cholesterol. However if dogs suffered from anemia or take other advanced medical conditions like surgery, you should stop using ginger since ginger would highly stimulate circulation of the blood yet these dogs should maintain a stable blood level

It looks like South Gwinnett High School has ruled out the right guy for its vacant athletic and activities director job.Longtime Comet girls basketball coach Mike Allison interviewed for the position, but was informed recently by principal Clay Hunter that he didn't make the cut. Hunter may announce a quality hire, but in not choosing Allison he jilted the one person who deserves the job more than anyone. It all comes down to loyalty. Allison has remained loyal to a school he has coached at since 1983, but the favor wasn't returned when he was passed over as AD. Allison is the dean of Gwinnett basketball coaches with 22 years as head coach of the same program, sporting a great deal of success in that role as a 400-game winner. His 1995 girls basketball team won the state title, one of only five state championships in South's long history. He also was one of the main coaches for the Comets' 1997 state softball championship team. And he's been involved with South's golf teams for years, so he's familiar with various athletic programs. He's a great leader, which is why he's outlasted so many basketball coaches in the area. He's also worked under nine different principals and five different athletic directors, developing good working relationships with a variety of personalities. If he needed any advice on administration, Allison doesn't have to leave his own household. His wife Laurie, who now works in the Gwinnett County Public Schools office, is an experienced local principal. Allison even went back to school a few years ago to get his degree in administration, setting him up for the dream job he wanted in Snellville. He hoped to become South's AD, giving him a chance to help the school he loves so much prosper. He dreamed of retiring from South, which is why he never left. He had offers to coach elsewhere over the years, but turned them down. He even stuck around when his children, including his daughter Mandy, a girls basketball player, went to Grayson with her friends when that school opened. In short, Allison was loyal. South should have been, too. Will Hammock can be reached via e-mail at email@example.com. His column appears on Thursdays.

By Jeff Goodman
Bill Self looked in a team photo from a couple years ago. How times have changed.
That was when he redshirted Mario Little and Travis Releford because there was such an excess of talent and depth that neither figured to earn enough time. Now the sixth and seventh men in the rotation are walk-ons Justin Wesley and Connor Teahan - who Self has given a scholarship. If Little were still here, he'd probably be getting 35 minutes a game.
Self understands that no one feels bad for the Jayhawks - and he doesn't want that, anyway. He still maintains he has two of the elite players in the nation at their respective positions in Thomas Robinson and Tyshawn Taylor - and that his starting five will be able to stack up against anyone.
"We've got two pros," Self said. "Tyshawn's so good. The light has come on and the game's in slow motion for him. There aren't five better point guards."
"And there aren't five better big men than Thomas," he added. But the depth is another story. Kansas had three signees deemed ineligible to play this season: Ben McLemore and Jamari Traylor (who have both remained on campus as partial qualifiers) and Braeden Anderson, who has since elected to attend Fresno.
The 6-foot-8 Wesley is a transfer from Lamar and Teahan is a fifth-year senior who hasn't exactly played meaningful minutes in his Jayhawks career. Both will likely be rotation guys.
"We need to stay healthy," Self said. "And be junkyard dogs."
And that's likely why he's being cautious with Robinson, who bumped knees in practice and will likely be held out for a couple of days.
"In practice, I've never had to worry about injuries," Self admitted.
The key to whether the Jayhawks can continue their Big 12 dominance will likely come down to the development of guards Elijah Johnson and Releford - and the health and production of 7-footer Jeff Withey. Self raved about Johnson - which is a change from his thoughts on the talented guard from a year ago - and also said that he'll need newcomers Kevin Young and Naadir Tharpe to give him quality minutes. "I like my guys," Self said. The issue, though, is whether he has enough of them.

Self finds his team situation he never imagined
Probably an accurate picture of a preseason Kansas, Jeff. There are a couple of additional thoughts. I am intrigued with Naadir Tharpe because it has been reported in summer scrimmages he is an outstanding passer and point guard. Coach Self has not had a pure point guard since Aaron Miles left. Tyshawn Taylor and Elijah Johnson are both really athletic combo guards (as was Mario Chalmers.) But Tharp has that rare ability to make big men get easy buckets and look like stars. Of course at Kansas he will have to guard to even get on the floor. Taylor did lead an under 19 USA team to a world championship a few years ago. The knock on Taylor has been his inconsistency but he dialed up his play at the end of last year and came back as a senior to take it to the next level. Conner Teahan has not had playing time but can really shoot. Kevin Young has not shown who he is and neither has Justin Wesley but Wesley's older half-brother was Keith Langford and NCAA fans may remember Langford's stardom when he was at KU.
The real question mark for this team (at least the biggest one) is 7'0" Jeff Withey. A transfer from Arizona, Withey has proven himself to be a force in shot-blocking and rebounding in limited minutes. Teamed with Robinson he should get some open looks at point blank range. If he can convert he presents problems for defenses as well. Kansas should not be counted out as they were several times in the past five years (Self won the league championship each time and a national championship as well.) And the Big XII does not look as strong as previous years, so I would not be surprised if they are in the running again this year. No, I am not predicting anything. Unlike Gary, I don't think we know much at this time of year.

The difficulty of interpreting the Bible is felt all over today. Is the Bible still authoritative for the faith and practice of the church? If so, in what way? What practices of reading offer the most appropriate approach to understanding Scripture? The church's lack of clarity about these issues has hindered its witness and mission, causing it to speak with an uncertain voice to the challenges of our time.This important book is for a twenty-first-century church that seems to have lost the art of reading the Bible attentively and imaginatively. "The Art of Reading Scripture" is written by a group of eminent scholars and teachers seeking to recover the church's rich heritage of biblical interpretation in a dramatically changed cultural environment. Asking how best to read the Bible in a postmodern context, the contributors together affirm up front Nine Theses that provide substantial guidance for the church. The essays and sermons that follow both amplify and model the approach to Scripture outlined in the Nine Theses.Lucidly conceived, carefully written, and shimmering with fresh insights, "The Art of Reading Scripture" proposes a far-reaching revolution in how the Bible is taught in theological seminaries and calls pastors and teachers in the church to rethink their practices of using the Bible.Contributors: Gary A. Anderson Richard Bauckham Brian E. Daley Ellen F. Davis Richard B. Hays James C. Howell Robert W. Jenson William Stacy Johnson L. Gregory Jones Christine McSpadden R. W. L. Moberly David C.

The clear version I received today is made entirely of a glossy rigid hard plastic. Has no grip - or "soft touch exterior coating" as described in the product highlights. It is quite slippery in the hand.

The clear is glossy to maintain clarity, but the frosted ones have a slight rubbery feel to it. They are still slick enough that they will slide in and out of a pocket easily, but not tacky enough to be a lint magnet like most silicone cases are. The frosted ones will also be resistant to smudges and fingerprints.

Article: Identification of Influenza A/PR/8/34 Donor Viruses Imparting High Hemagglutinin Yields to Candidate Vaccine Viruses in EggsPLoS ONE 06/2015; 10(6):e0128982. DOI:10.1371/journal.pone.0128982 · 3.53 Impact Factor
Article: Performance characteristics of qualified cell lines for isolation and propagation of influenza viruses for vaccine manufacturing[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Cell culture is now available as a method for the production of influenza vaccines in addition to eggs. In accordance with currently accepted practice, viruses recommended as candidates for vaccine manufacture are isolated and propagated exclusively in hens' eggs prior to distribution to manufacturers. Candidate vaccine viruses isolated in cell culture are not available to support vaccine manufacturing in mammalian cell bioreactors so egg-derived viruses have to be used. Recently influenza A (H3N2) viruses have been difficult to isolate directly in eggs. As mitigation against this difficulty, and the possibility of no suitable egg-isolated candidate viruses being available, it is proposed to consider using mammalian cell lines for primary isolation of influenza viruses as candidates for vaccine production in egg and cell platforms. To investigate this possibility, we tested the antigenic stability of viruses isolated and propagated in cell lines qualified for influenza vaccine manufacture and subsequently investigated antigen yields of such viruses in these cell lines at pilot-scale. Twenty influenza A and B-positive, original clinical specimens were inoculated in three MDCK cell lines. The antigenicity of recovered viruses was tested by hemagglutination inhibition using ferret sera against contemporary vaccine viruses and the amino acid sequences of the hemagglutinin and neuraminidase were determined. MDCK cell lines proved to be highly sensitive for virus isolation. Compared to the virus sequenced from the original specimen, viruses passaged three times in the MDCK lines showed up to 2 amino acid changes in the hemagglutinin. Antigenic stability was also established by hemagglutination inhibition titers comparable to those of the corresponding reference virus. Viruses isolated in any of the three MDCK lines grew reasonably well but variably in three MDCK cells and in VERO cells at pilot-scale. These results indicate that influenza viruses isolated in vaccine certified cell lines may well qualify for use in vaccine production.
Article: Quantitation of influenza virus using field flow fractionation and multi-angle light scattering for quantifying influenza A particles[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Recent advances in instrumentation and data analysis in field flow fractionation and multi-angle light scattering (FFF-MALS) have enabled greater use of this technique to characterize and quantitate viruses. In this study, the FFF-MALS technique was applied to the characterization and quantitation of type A influenza virus particles to assess its usefulness for vaccine preparation. The use of FFF-MALS for quantitation and measurement of control particles provided data accurate to within 5% of known values, reproducible with a coefficient of variation of 1.9%. The methods, sensitivity and limit of detection were established by analyzing different volumes of purified virus, which produced a linear regression with fitting value R(2) of 0.99. FFF-MALS was further applied to detect and quantitate influenza virus in the supernatant of infected MDCK cells and allantoic fluids of infected eggs. FFF fractograms of the virus present in these different fluids revealed similar distribution of monomeric and oligomeric virions. However, the monomer fraction of cell grown virus has greater size variety. Notably, β-propialactone (BPL) inactivation of influenza viruses did not influence any of the FFF-MALS measurements. Quantitation analysis by FFF-MALS was compared to infectivity assays and real-time RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) and the limitations of each assay were discussed.Journal of virological methods 07/2013; 193(2).

Article: Virus-Like Particle Vaccine Containing Hemagglutinin Confers Protection against 2009 H1N1 Pandemic Influenza[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Immunization of the world population before an influenza pandemic such as the 2009 H1N1 virus spreads globally is not possible with current vaccine production platforms. New influenza vaccine technologies, such as virus-like-particles (VLPs), offer a promising alternative. Here, we tested the immunogenicity and protective efficacy of a VLP vaccine containing hemagglutinin (HA) and M1 from the 2009 pandemic H1N1 influenza virus (H1N1pdm) in ferrets and compared intramuscular (i.m.) and intranasal (i.n.) routes of immunization. Vaccination of ferrets with VLPs containing the M1 and HA proteins from A/California/04/2009 (H1N1pdm) induced high antibody titers and conferred significant protection against virus challenge. VLP-vaccinated animals lost less weight, shed less virus in nasal washes, and had markedly lower virus titers in all organs tested than naïve controls. A single dose of VLPs, either i.m. or i.n., induced higher levels of antibody than did two doses of commercial split vaccine. Ferrets vaccinated with split vaccine were incompletely protected against challenge; these animals had lower virus titers in olfactory bulbs, tonsils, and intestines, but lost weight and shed virus in nasal washes to a similar extent as naïve controls. Challenge with heterologous A/Brisbane/59/07 (H1N1) virus revealed that the VLPs conferred minimal cross-protection to heterologous infection, as revealed by the lack of reduction in nasal wash and lung virus titers and slightly higher weight loss relative to controls. In summary, these experiments demonstrate the strong immunogenicity and protective efficacy of VLPs compared to the split vaccine and show that i.n. vaccination with VLPs has the potential for highly efficacious vaccination against influenza.Clinical and vaccine Immunology: CVI 12/2011; 18(12):2010-7.

The NS1 proteins of pathogenic 1997 H5N1 viruses contain the CPSF30-binding site but lack the consensus amino acids at positions 103 and 106, F and M, respectively, that are required for the stabilization of CPSF30 binding, resulting in nonoptimal CPSF30 binding in infected cells. Here we have demonstrated that strengthening CPSF30 binding, by changing positions 103 and 106 in the 1997 H5N1 NS1 protein to the consensus amino acids, results in a remarkable 300-fold increase in the lethality of the virus in mice. Unexpectedly, this increase in virulence is not associated with increased lung pathology but rather is characterized by faster systemic spread of the virus, particularly to the brain, where increased replication and severe pathology occur. This increased spread is associated with increased cytokine and chemokine levels in extrapulmonary tissues. We conclude that strengthening CPSF30 binding by the NS1 protein of 1997 H5N1 viruses enhances virulence in mice by increasing the systemic spread of the virus from the lungs, particularly to the brain.Journal of Virology 07/2011; 85(14):7048-58.

Article: Improved protection against avian influenza H5N1 virus by a single vaccination with virus-like particles in skin using microneedles.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To develop a more effective vaccination method against H5N1 virus, we investigated the immunogenicity and protective efficacy after skin vaccination using microneedles coated with influenza virus-like particles containing hemagglutinin derived from A/Vietnam/1203/04 H5N1 virus (H5 VLPs). A single microneedle vaccination of mice with H5 VLPs induced increased levels of antibodies and provided complete protection against lethal challenge without apparent disease symptoms. In contrast, intramuscular injection with the same vaccine dose showed low levels of antibodies and provided only partial protection accompanied by severe body weight loss. Post-challenge analysis suggested that improved protection was associated with lower lung viral titers and enhanced generation of recall antibody secreting cells by microneedle vaccination. Thus, this study provides evidence that skin delivery of H5 VLP vaccines using microneedles designed for self-administration induces improved protection compared to conventional intramuscular immunization.Antiviral research 11/2010; 88(2):244-7.

Article: Establishment and Characterization of a Madin-Darby Canine Kidney Reporter Cell Line for Influenza A Virus Assays[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Influenza virus diagnosis has traditionally relied on virus isolation in chicken embryo or cell cultures. Many laboratories have adopted rapid molecular methods for detection of influenza viruses and discontinued routine utilization of the relatively slow viral culture methods. We describe an influenza A virus reporter cell line that contributes to more efficient viral detection in cell culture. Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells were engineered to constitutively produce an influenza virus genome-like luciferase reporter RNA driven by the canine RNA polymerase I promoter. Induction of a high level of luciferase activity was detected in the Luc9.1 cells upon infection with various strains of influenza A virus, including 2009 H1N1 pandemic and highly pathogenic H5N1 virus. In contrast, infection with influenza B virus or human adenovirus type 5 did not induce significant levels of reporter expression. The reporter Luc9.1 cells were evaluated in neutralizing antibody assays with convalescent H3N2 ferret serum, yielding a neutralization titer comparable to that obtained by the conventional microneutralization assay, suggesting that the use of the reporter cell line might simplify neutralization assays by facilitating the establishment of infectious virus endpoints. Luc9.1 cells were also used to determine the susceptibility of influenza A viruses to a model antiviral drug. The equivalence to conventional antiviral assay results indicated that the Luc9.1 cells could provide an alternative cell-based platform for high-throughput drug discovery screens. In summary, the MDCK-derived Luc9.1 reporter cell line is highly permissive for influenza A virus replication and provides a very specific and sensitive approach for simultaneous detection and isolation of influenza A viruses as well as functional evaluation of antibodies and antiviral molecules.Journal of clinical microbiology 07/2010; 48(7):2515-23.

ABSTRACT: We have previously shown that infection with laboratory-passaged strains of influenza virus causes both specific degradation of the largest subunit of the RNA polymerase II complex (RNAP II) and inhibition of host cell transcription. When infection with natural human and avian isolates belonging to different antigenic subtypes was examined, we observed that all of these viruses efficiently induce the proteolytic process. To evaluate whether this process is a general feature of nonattenuated viruses, we studied the behavior of the influenza virus strains A/PR8/8/34 (PR8) and the cold-adapted A/Ann Arbor/6/60 (AA), which are currently used as the donor strains for vaccine seeds due to their attenuated phenotype. We have observed that upon infection with these strains, degradation of the RNAP II does not occur. Moreover, by runoff experiments we observe that PR8 has a reduced ability to inhibit cellular mRNA transcription. In addition, a hypervirulent PR8 (hvPR8) variant that multiplies much faster than standard PR8 (lvPR8) in infected cells and is more virulent in mice than the parental PR8 virus, efficiently induces RNAP II degradation. Studies with reassortant viruses containing defined genome segments of both hvPR8 and lvPR8 indicate that PA and PB2 subunits individually contribute to the ability of influenza virus to degrade the RNAP II. In addition, recently it has been reported that the inclusion of PA or PB2 from hvPR8 in lvPR8 recombinant viruses, highly increases their pathogenicity. Together, the data indicate that the capacity of the influenza virus to degrade RNAP II and inhibit the host cell transcription machinery is a feature of influenza A viruses that might contribute to their virulence.Journal of Virology 09/2009; 83(21):11166-74.

'This Is Only A Test;' National Alert System Gets Trial Run Today
Don't be alarmed at 2 p.m. ET today when broadcasters across the U.S., including NPR stations, take part in the first-ever nationwide test of the Emergency Alert System.
After all, as NPR's Brian Naylor reports for our Newscast Desk, "remember, this is only a test."
According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and as many of you surely know, the system "is frequently used and tested at the local level." But it's never been tested everywhere at once. Today, though, FEMA wants to "ensure that the EAS is functional and that EAS participants are prepared to issue alerts."
Broadcasters, such as NPR, won't change what they do. But for about 30 seconds you'll hear the familiar "this is only a test" message and alarms. And there will be language "crawling" across TV screens. Then regular broadcasting will resume, possibly in mid-sentence during our newscast.

HOLLYWOOD - God bless America, and how's everybody?
Government's closed, everybody! Go home. Except Congress, that is, whose members are still getting paid, classified as "essential workers." Although right now, neither one of those words seems very apt or ept. Unapt and inept is more like it. Inapt? Unept?
Exclusive Excerpt from: "Comical Sense: A Lone Humorist Takes on a World Gone Nutty!" by Tom Purcell
On October 5, as part of their ceaseless demand that Congress passes comprehensive immigration reform, illegal aliens and their advocates will hold a National Day of Dignity and Respect. Their goal is to achieve immediate legal status, with work authorization, and eventual citizenship. If successful, at least 11 million aliens would compete with Americans for the handful of available jobs.
Arrogance is like a cancer. Once it lodges itself in the heart and mind, there's not much you can do as it begins to permeate the entire body with an inordinate sense of self-worth, significance, and position.
Q: Is the government too big and powerful? Does a one-legged duck swim in circles?
Ted Cruz said he would go to Washington to change Washington. Well, he's done it. He's united Democrats and more than a few Senate Republicans in hatred of Texas' very junior senator and your new 2016 GOP frontrunner. But as much as Cruz sincerely drives me nuts, he might be the best thing that has happened to Democrats since the last big government shutdown.
This bonus column was originally published in August of 2010.
I only make predictions that are easy. That's why they come true. I have no formula.
"If you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan.
HOLLYWOOD - God bless America, and how's everybody?
There no longer lies any shame in obsession. Monomania reigns supreme in this country. Along with twerking. Once a month the local news features sports fans who have turned entire houses into shrines to their favorite team. We all know the conspiracy guy with his bootleg DVDs and liquid limber logic. Every neighborhood has at least one cat lady. And if you protest that your neighborhood doesn't, you may be her.
I get it.
There's a certain type of bravery taking place in the nation's 19th most populous state, whose border is about two miles from the Washington Navy Yard, scene of a horrifying mass gun attack.

Rick Perry's running for president again, which means we have to endure a bunch of talk about what he calls the "Texas Model." The rest of us call this the "Texas Miracle," or the economic special sauce of low taxes, low regulation, low spending, and tort reform that he says created boom times in Texas while the rest of the country struggled. Hire me, goes his logic, and I'll make sure someone hires you. Being president is good work if you can get it.
He gets under their skin like termites in a boathouse. Drives them crazier than Hillary Clinton and Yoko Ono dancing on a gay pride parade float. He's the itch you can't scratch. The thorn in the palm of their paw. The 3-inch scratch on their favorite Ted Nugent album. I'm talking about that hot new Catholic sensation, Pope Frankie.
Few papal encyclicals have been as anticipated as Laudato Si', and Pope Francis has not disappointed. The encyclical articulates a compelling moral vision intended to address the ecological crisis gripping our world.
Masters champion Jordan Spieth won the U.S. Open in a thrilling manner at Chambers Bay Golf Club. Afterwards he wished everyone a Happy Father's Day, which came off as a bit insensitive to people in Los Angeles. Father's Day is the most confusing day of the year for Kendall and Kylie Jenner.
There are some very stupid ideas emanating from powerful people and political wannabes.
Poor Jeb.

Idea Ding
The Idea Bulb is a visible indication to the audience that someone has had a bright idea. Sometimes, though, the idea will be a sound notion, so we hear the Idea Ding. It's a simple one-note Sting sound made on a xylophone or glockenspiel or something else that sounds light and metallic. Often appears with its Sister Trope Idea Bulb. Also related to Audible Gleam. Compare Palm-Fist Tap for a Japanese Media variant. The same sound is often used for Love at First Sight, but that's a different trope.
- UHF, when George("Weird Al" Yankovic) gets the last-ditch idea to hold a telethon for his TV station.
- Happens in-universe in the Australian children's books Bottersnikes And Gumbles. It's limited to one character, Tinkingumble, and the loss of his "tink" is a plot point in one book.
- Dexter's Laboratory: The Monkey episode "Peltra" has the Idea Bulb and Idea Ding happen together as Agent Honeydew thinks of a way to save Monkey.
- Happens frequently on Phineas and Ferb — not quite Once an Episode, but when it does appear, it's almost always before Phineas' "Hey Ferb!" Catch Phrase.
- Ultimate Spider-Man: "Venom": Peter is standing alone in his Dramatic Spotlight with no idea how to sort out what to do about Harry's dislike of Peter's "new friends". Mary Jane intervenes with a suggestion that comes with its own Idea Ding. Peter brightens up, heartened by her great idea.
- Wander of Wander over Yonder likes to say "Bing!" whenever he gets an idea.

Julie Geis: The Great Motivator
Published: October 15, 2001
Julie Geis had a way of encouraging people to do their best, whether they were in a boardroom or on a softball field. "A pitcher from the softball team that she coaches called to tell me that whenever she was not doing what Julie wanted, she would yell at her to try harder," said Ms. Geis's mother, Betty Geis.
Ms. Geis, 44, senior vice president of Aon Corporation , where she worked for six years, was in New York City in the south tower for a monthly meeting on the day of the attacks, Mrs. Geis said. She lived in Lee's Summit, Mo., the small town where she grew up. The job allowed her to indulge a favorite pastime, traveling. Besides New York, business trips took her to London, Paris and Brazil. "Aon was getting established all over the world," Mrs. Geis said. "She loved the challenge. She loved the people."

Camelbak, best known for their hydration backpacks with the "Bite-n-Sip" valve, have released a line of water bottles that incorporate the same valve, the better to prevent spills. I've got a generic Nalgene-type bottle I use for water all day, but when it's near empty the heavy cap often will pull it over, so I'm amenable to better cap solutions. On the other hand, I hate having to suck a trickle of water out of a bottle, preferring instead to gulp a torrent of tap water in quantity sufficient to feel the chill in my belly. The choices of first-world living are so harrowing! Available in a few bland colors for $10 to $14, the Camelbak "Better Bottle" also has a clip on the lid for a carabiner, should you ever actually go outdoors.

I have one of these, and I admit it is a great bottle. However, it is made out of plastic no. 7. With all the talk/concerns about bisphenol A, I decided to retire the bottle for the time being. I now use a Sigg aluminum bottle instead, and I absolutely love it.
While these bottles seem pretty nifty, word on the street is that the hard plastic carries bisphenol A (though Camelbak doesn't seem to mention what their bottles are made out of). The jury is still out on this one but there is enough concern over the potentially harmful effects of bisphenol A that Canada's Mountain Equipmennt Co-op has actually suspended selling water bottles that contain it.
One of the alternatives my family is now using is called Klean Kanteen, it is a light weight steel bottle. MEC has a bunch of other brands as well.
Sigg is definitely the way to go. http://www.mysigg.com/
It would be nice if I could buy just the cap, and use it on a steel bottle.
The Camelbak sipper lids ARE available seperately, and the lid will fit the Guyot Design stainless steel bottles.
Plastic #7 doesn't mean anything. "7" is defined as any type of plastic that doesn't fall under categories 1-6.
Have any actual studies been conducted to see exactly how much Bisphenol A is released from a plastic bottle under normal use? The main backlash against the chemical seems to be a knee-jerk coming from the usual environmental groups. This doesn't mean it's necessarily not true, but at the same time, I haven't seen any legitimate science to back up the claims that it's something I should be worrying about.
For those of you drinking out of aluminum bottles, I should also point out that there have been similar "health scares" going on about Aluminum cookware since the 70's.
For Schmod, a brief compendium on Bisphenol A research, http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2007/08/02/bisphenol/
SCHMOD, Ironically, your reaction is more knee-jerk than that of the 'usual environmental groups' (whoever they are). There is enough legitimate concern over this that the use of the chemical is under heavy review right now.
I'd rather spend an extra $5 on a steel baby bottle than find out ten years from now that the plastic bottle was screwing with my son's hormones.
I thought it said Camelbak Beer Bottle for a moment and got excited. Alas, my hopes for futuristic beer were dashed upon reading the article.
Better known around here as "sippy cups for grown-ups" coz they don't gush water all over your keyboard when you knock them off the top of the rack.
Now if I could only get one with a pink My Little Pony(tm) on it…
I have two of these things, a 1.0 L and a 0.75 L and I love them. They are also available in a 0.5 L capacity. Yes, the colors are a little bland, but some of them have "Hydrate or DIE" on them, which is kind of funny in a geeky way for a company catchphrase. And there are always My Little Pony stickers out there, Magpie.
They are practically bullet-proof, as I dropped one down a steep trail. After a 100 ft. drop and another 300 ft. of bouncing off big, pointy rocks, it was a little scuffed but otherwise perfectly fine. I tend to like the fact that I have to slow down and sip from them instead of gulping and getting that horrible sloshy feeling, but to each his/her/their own.
As to the health broughaha, ummmm…. I just don't care anymore. Everything is bad for you anyways, so I will not stop using something that may or may not adversely affect my health. I'd rather live a slightly shortened, enjoyable life than try to prolong a life spent running away from anything with more than 3 syllables in its name. Then again, I probably would have been fiddling away in a burning house drinking my lead-flavored wine if I lived in Old Rome so… yeah.
And finally, for those of you who ARE concerned over the bisphenol A, Camelbak also makes a Performance bottle, which is similar in design but uses a squeezable polypropylene bottle similar to bike bottles. I haven't tried it, but it looks pretty sound.
They aren't all bland! I love the Hydrate or Die design that NOTCOT posted back in 06/06
I've had one of these for about a year and a half, and I love it. I always hated the mouthpieces on bike bottles, and this is way better.
I'm not sure if they've remedied it, but mine is too fat to really fit well i a bottle cage on my bike – it actually shattered a carbon fiber cage that I used to have.
As to the plastic thing. I'm still not sold on the health dangers of these bottles. Supposedly Camelbak is coming out with these bottles in a different plastic that doesn't contain BPA in '08, so the issue might be moot pretty soon.
Hi there,
I am writing from CamelBak for two reasons:
1. To say think you for all the nice things said about our "bullet-proof," colorful, earth-friendly reusable bottles, and
2. To let you know that this month we began distributing bottles that are entire BPA-free, for those of you who have told us you are concerned. By summer, we will have converted our entire line of bottles to BPA-free.
Just please don't ask us to change our "hydrate or die" slogan. We're rather fond of it.
The People at CamelBak Hydration Products
p.s. The person who wrote that the #7 is a waste-management symbol is correct. It is a misconception that the number relates to the composition of the plastic.
hey, thanks for the info CamelBak peeps!
would you mind telling us what chemical you WILL be using for your super-strong polycarbonate?
and please don't say it's proprietary, because i will just keep on loving my Sigg.
I would simply like to make a really informed decision that concerns my health.
thank you!
camelbaks are BPA free!
they offer an insulated water bottle. The CamelBak Insulted Stainless Steel Better Bottle is pretty amazing. It's been my water bottle of choice for the past few weeks.

Eric Chan Wei Chiang's curator insight, August 12, 2014 11:25 PM
These five steps may seem very simple but they are often taken for granted. To give direction a leader must take ownership and have a vision. Managing conflict and providing protection are often not pleasant and require great maturity from leaders. Shaping the norms and clarifying roles is often not given a very high priority as it involves intangible people skills.

Employee enagagement whilst not easy it vital to any business ... you just have to look at how the benefits outweigh the work... loyalty, enthusiasm, productivity, profitability, motivated... and the list goes on!
Baillie Lumber's curator insight, September 10, 2013 8:35 AM
Yes employee engagement is critical in executing on a successful operational strategy. The authors point of ensuring your culture is aligned and supports employee engagement is a good one. If your culture does not support the strategic direction i might be worth the time to find ways to bridge that gap!

Great visual of the modern leader and to quote Jim Collins,m"we are moving from organizations well managed to networks well led." Essentially, the leaders of today will be more like association executives than command and control CEOs of the past. What do you think about this?
Miklos Szilagyi's curator insight, August 23, 2013 9:29 AM
They did learn the buzzwords, and they know what is in the air in the mainstream management literature, that's for sure... they are stars and, of course, visionaries... they say, leading and managing are different but they are helluva good managers as well about their closed circle and that's management about, it's pretty sure too... However, it would be very interesting to have also a 360 review about their activities to see more clearly...:-)))
