Cairney, 26, was arrested after the incident in Queen Street on October 11, last year, and accused of hitting a man with a belt.
But after viewing CCTV footage, sheriff John Baird found Cairney was not guilty of breach of the peace and branded the incident a "vicious" attack on him.
The video showed Cairney being hit with a belt by a man described by a police officer as six foot five inches tall and 18 stone.
The footage showed Cairney swinging punches and retreating before running off and being pursued by his attacker.
After the case Cairney, from Livingston, said he was "pleased" the case was over.

Ikea drops Russian website over 'gay propaganda' law
Ikea bosses quizzed by police over snooping claims
Two senior executives of the Ikea are being questioned by French police over claims the Swedish furniture firm snooped on employees and customers.
The arrests of the chief executive officer of Ikea France, Stefan Vanoverbeke, and chief financial officer, Darius Rychert, come after more than a year and a half of investigations.
Jean-Louis Baillot, the former head of Ikea France is also being questioned, the BBC reports.
In April 2012, the company acknowledged practices in breach of its ethical standards and overhauled its management team the following month.
Ikea withdraws almond cakes after faeces scare
Ikea has encountered another food contamination problem after revealing that traces of coliform bacteria have been found in two "isolated production batches" of a cake produced for its restaurants. It's a bacteria found in faeces.
Ikea says the UK and Ireland are not among the 23 countries affected. The bacteria was found in almond cake with chocolate and butterscotch, from one supplier in Sweden. In a statement the company said:
"There is no health risk associated with consuming this product. The production batches have, as per safety and quality routines, been tested for bacteria that can cause health issues, such as E.coli, and none of these pathogen bacteria have been found.
"However, since the product does not comply with our strict food quality standards we have decided to withdraw the concerned production batches from sale in the 23 affected countries."
Last week Ikea said it was withdrawing wiener sausages in the UK after tests found "indications" of horse meat, and it also withdrew a batch of its traditional meatballs.
Russia 'finds horsemeat in sausages from Austria'
Russian officials said horsemeat has been discovered in sausages imported from Austria, the state-run news agency RIA Novosti reported.
Russia's agriculture watchdog announced that although the sausages were labelled as 100 per cent beef "the presence of horse DNA was discovered".
The sausages are believed to have been supplied by an Austrian company, the agency added.
IKEA pulls mince meat products from Swedish supplier
IKEA has stopped selling all minced meat products from its main Swedish supplier over horsemeat concerns.
IKEA said the move was an "extra-precautionary measure".
As well as withdrawing Familjen Dafgard's IKEA-branded wiener sausages from its stores in France, Spain, Britain, Ireland and Portugal, it has stopped selling stuffed cabbages and veal burgers in Sweden.
The announcement comes two days after the world's No. 1 furniture retailer took its trademark meatballs off the menu.
IKEA: There are a few indications of horsemeat
An IKEA spokeswoman has spoken after the company withdrew its wiener hot dog sausages:
IKEA withdraws wiener sausages after horsemeat tests
Furniture giant IKEA is withdrawing wiener hot dog sausages in the UK after tests found "indications" of horsemeat, just days after it withdrew a batch of its traditional meatballs.
The Swedish company said it was removing the sausages from sale in Britain, France, Spain, Ireland and Portugal as an "extra-precautionary measure" as they are produced by the same supplier as the meatballs.
IKEA stops selling meatballs from Swedish supplier
The IKEA Group has stopped selling meatballs in some parts of Europe as an "extra-precautionary measure" after tests detected horsemeat in the product.
The sales stop concerns meatballs manufactured by one supplier in Sweden and applies to all European countries except for Norway, Russia and a limited number of products in Switzerland and Poland.
Third of parents believe they have served horsemeat
A third of parents (33.6%) believe they may have served horsemeat to their children, a new poll reveals.
It suggests that the scandal has led many families to change their eating and shopping habits, with some no longer buying processed meat or eating ready meals.
The poll, by parenting website Netmums, questioned 1,293 parents for their views of the horse meat scandal.

Jodhpur, Aug 24 (IANS) A district court here in Rajasthan Friday upheld the punishment of five years given to Bollywood actor Salman Khan by a lower court for shooting a chinkara deer in 1998, a lawyer said.
Salman Khan" src="http://www.india-forums.com/bollywood/images/uploads/salman_jail_big.jpg" align="right" border="" hspace="5" vspace="5"> Salman Khan was not present in the district and sessions court when the judge gave the ruling.
Salman had in April 2006 filed an appeal against the ruling of chief judicial magistrate who sentenced the actor to five years rigorous imprisonment and fined him Rs.25,000 for poaching a chinkara, an endangered species.
Salman was then taken to Jodhpur Central Jail where he spent three nights before the district and sessions court gave him bail.
'An arrest warrant will be issued by the court. So either Salman should surrender or he will be arrested,' Mahipal Vishnoi, lawyer for the Bishnoi community, which along with the state government filed the case against Salman, told IANS.
The actor has been found guilty under Section 51 of the Wildlife Protection Act.
Salman and his friends were accused of poaching a chinkara at Ghoda near Jodhpur on the night of Sep 28, 1998 while filming for Sooraj Barjatiya's blockbuster 'Hum Saath Saath Hain'.
A case was registered against Salman and five others under sections 143, 144, 148 and 201 read with 149 of the Indian Penal Code, sections 51 and 52 of the Wildlife Protection Act and section 27 of the Indian Arms Act Oct 11, 1988.

I don't understand why they are only after Salman. What about Tabu, Saif Ali Khan and Neelam who were also with Salman?
I think that he did this unintentionally, without thinking about anything. If he is sorry for what happened, then the case should be dropped. the courts should spend more time on cases that matter.

Aaron represents the finest tradition of the New England Patriots and the Kraft family. This winning philosophy does not take "a week off", as Michael Whitmer might not understand.
Originally written on 60 Max Power O | Last updated 1/3/13
EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ - SEPTEMBER 19: Aaron Hernandez of the New England Patriots runs through a tackle from David Harris of the New York Jets during the first quarter at the New Meadowlands Stadium on September 19, 2010 in East Rutherford, New Jersey. (Photo by Andrew Burton/Getty Images)
When all was said and done last Sunday, the Patriots were the 2nd seed in the AFC, receiving a bye that only one week before looked like a longshot. They were still kicking themselves over the 49ers loss. While they won't be playing this weekend, it certainly doesn't mean it's a week off of work. Just ask Aaron Hernandez. "I feel like, instead of thinking of it as a week off, thinking of it as a week to get better," tight end Aaron Hernandez told Michael Whitmer of the Boston Globe. "We all need to get better, we need to grow as a team during this week, take that step. "We have a couple practices where we're going to go hard, and work on the things we need to work on, and then the days we have off, relax, maybe watch a little bit of film, get some mental reps, and that's about it." The Patriots could learn who they'll be facing Jan. 13th in Foxoborough as early as Saturday, and Aaron will be tuning in to the games to see how things play out. Head coach Bill Belichick of course, fels the same way about the bye. "Nobody ever said it was a week off," he said. "We're here, there are things we can accomplish, things that we can do, things that we're doing. That's what we're here for."

Reviews for GREAT RIVER SCHOOL INC
A highlight of Great River School is their Key Experiences for all the kids. Every year each grade group A1, A2 & A3, gets out of the classroom learning environment and into a "worldly" experience learning key points along the way. Whether it is a wilderness trek, working on a farm, climbing the Grand Tetons, rebuilding LA from the aftermath of Katrina or biking 100 miles in a week (my kids participated on all of these), lodging is mostly in a camp ground in tents.
As a parent, I saw a need to help the school with managing their camping equipment because these key experiences have been huge in expanding my kids view in the world. Tents needed to be washed & repaired, and the staff needed assistance in getting the packing list developed and equipment ready to go. So, I put a call for help out to the other parents and was pleasantly surprised to see how many others cared so much about these trips. Many parents came together to help clean, organize and repack all of the gear.
I love knowing that this is such an involved community and a true sense of willingness to ensure the school is supported to continue these experiences for our kids.

Ask that parents keep staying involved.
I know Great River School as a substitute teacher, lego coach for 7th and 8th graders, and because my daughter attends. I am completely sold on the management, staff and structure. I say this as a high school teacher, being able to compare this school to numerous others. This is a great school that engages and pushes students to reach their full potential. My daughter is at times overwhelmed by homework but still says on a daily basis that she had a wonderful time at school. With the fall trip, the students connect in a way that makes them feel safe and free to be themselves--no small accomplishment in 7th graders! I would highly recommend this school to anyone else.

Great River School has been a great place for our daughter to attend her junior high years. She shares her sense of community and citizenship with us daily. The school definitely encourages her to think about how she relates to the world and all the potential roles that she might fill if she so chooses to make a difference. She struggles to stay organized, but cares deeply about what she is learning and always strives to learn more. I cannot ask for a more engaging environment for our youth.

I gave the school 4 out of 5 stars because I believe in improvement. There isn't another school that I would rather send my child to, private or public. Always improving volunteering is a great way to build community in a school.

I received more, "That was our favorite xmas card of the year", "wow, loved your card", and "best Xmas card---ever" from this card than any I have ever sent. We had some spectacular photos from our Cross Country American Summer Trip to put in in the blanks, but it was just gorgeous when completed. Thanks Tiny Prints."
"I cant explain the joy and pride our Tiny Prints Holiday cards bring to us and our family.

After I received and sent out all of my cards, Tiny Prints Staff member Julie sent me a hand written card Thanking me for ordering from them! I am a HUGE Thank you note writer and this was not lost on me! Thank you Tiny Prints...For this years card being the most Epic! I have no idea how to top this next year, but I am sure you will think of some wonderful style and layout! Love, The Senior Family!"

Fulham Day 1: Khan faces Michael Jackson questions
"They have a right to express themselves," Khan said. "But on the other hand, I think the world of the Glazers. I think they have done a great job with Man U, so there might be a little difference of opinion."
Khan said his takeover preserves Fulham's debt-free status and hopes the association with the Jaguars will help to attract sponsors to the Cottagers.
"Certainly Jacksonville coming to London, that helps getting sponsors, but I'd love for Fulham to come to Jacksonville," he said, speaking beneath midfielder Kerim Frei's jersey.
Khan avoided making any lavish claims about how much of his fortune - estimated by Forbes magazine to be $2.9 billion - will be invested.
There were also no outlandish targets set for manager Martin Jol, whose team finished 12th this year in its 12th consecutive season in the Premier League.
Jaguars president Mark Lamping, who has become a director at Fulham, told the AP that Khan "has a philosophy of "hire the best people you can" and then expect results.
Khan made sweeping changes at the Jaguars after the first season following his $760 million-takeover ended in a franchise-worst 2-14 record in 2012.
"Virtually everyone on the football side has been replaced, along with over half of our roster," Lamping said. "When you don't achieve to the level you expect ... you owe it to your fans who have made an emotional commitment to your team to make changes."
And Lamping warned that the Jaguars ownership will act as decisively at Fulham.
"Give them the resources, allow them to make decisions, then hold them accountable," Lamping said.

37 acts, 5 stages, three venues - MacMillan Fest is back
Posted: September 04, 2014|
THE annual Macmillan Fest is back with a bang for its fifth year and organisers say it's a line-up that is bigger and better than ever before.
The all-day event takes place at the Rescue Rooms, Stealth and Spanky Van Dyke's tomorrow, featuring 37 bands and solo artists playing across five stages.
Bleed From Within will headline the charity event at the Rescue Rooms. Since forming in 2005, the Scottish five-piece have released three studio albums.
They will be supported by metallers The Safety Fire, post hardcore band Heights and local alt-rockers Adelphia.
Others include Derby punks Follow You Home, who'll headline the Stealth stage, with one of their final shows. They will be supported by Anavae and Lock & Key.
Headlining the acoustic stage at the Rescue Rooms is Essex pop-rock band The Hype Theory, a female-fronted five-piece.
Local rockers Teenage Casket Company top the bill at Spanky Van Dyke's, while Sarah Knight and the Blue Stones headline the Red Rooms. Other acts include Kaizen, Lacey, We are Tyrants, Famous For Nothing, Violet, Cabin Boy Jumped Ship and Spangle Corps.
IKE Productions have so far raised more than £8,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support.
"We intend to raise even more money this year," says festival founder Kris Davis, head promoter at IKE, who plans on having his bottom tattooed with the festival logo at the event, which runs from 2pm to 10pm.
"We will be running a raffle on the day so there are plenty of ways you can get involved.
"And as well as quality entertainment there will be delicious Caribbean food served all day."
Kris started raising money for Macmillan in 2009 at the age of 16, after it helped his form tutor through a brain tumour, with a gig at Junktion 7 in Canning Circus.
In 2011, the Macmillan Fest moved to the Rescue Rooms, Stealth and Red Rooms with 31 bands playing across 3 stages. In addition, Kris shaved off all of his hair to mark Macmillan's centenary.
A year later, the event moved to Central in Huntingdon Street with 27 bands, before settling into its current home last year, raising £3,000 for the charity.

1901 Deep Cameo PR64 Twenty Dollar1901 $20 PR64 Deep Cameo PCGS. CAC. The 1901 proof twenty is anything but common, unlike its business strike counterpart. The mintage was 96 proofs and probably 40 to 50 individual pieces exist in all grades and designations. Examination of the population data is certainly interesting for this issue. Only the Deep/Ultra Cameo data is reflective of the actual number extant. Combining PCGS and NGC Deep/Ultra coins, a grand total of five pieces have been certified (6/12). Non-Cameo and Cameo coins have had so many resubmissions that the populations are no longer helpful. There have been 34 non-Cameo examples certified and 39 Cameo coins. If the rate of resubmission continues, in a couple of years the number certified will exceed the original mintage!
Especially Challenging as a Deep/Ultra Cameo
Especially Challenging as a Deep/Ultra Cameo
The fields on this piece display remarkable depth of mirrored reflectivity and give the "black" appearance that is so desirable on proof gold. Contrasted against the mirrored finish, the devices are heavily frosted and seem to float above the watery fields. Close examination with a loupe reveals just the slightest evidence of the orange-peel effect that is often encountered on latter-19th century proof gold. This effect was apparently created by inserting planchets in an annealing furnace that had previously been used for silver, nickel, or bronze; thus the furnace was too hot for the softer gold alloy and the surface of the planchets took on the familiar orange-peel appearance. The only mark on this magnificent coin is a very shallow scratch just behind the nose of Liberty. Deep, even orange-gold color is seen over each side. Population: 2 in 64 Deep Cameo, 0 finer (6/12).(Registry values: P1) (PCGS# 99117)

Cosplay Business Cards? That's new for the other half of the world, not so much in Japan where cosplayers exchange business cards promoting their fantasy persona or a character from an alternative reality. What goes against this otherwise creative and crazy card idea is cosplayers won't just have one costume that they don so to make their potential clear they need to print a lot of cards and give rise to confusion. Cosplay business card service called Proof, helps solve this predicament by offering customers the chance to order multiple sets of business cards for each character at a low cost (100 cards at 2,625 Yen- US$26). These cards pose as trading cards rather than the actual business card. In order to make a good impression with these Cosplay Business Cards, people are going the whole hog to take their cosplay glamour shots.
At C-Studio, the rent props for free in studios that have themed-décor like Gothic, Luxury Bar, 'Cute-room', Sci Fi etc. Fans are leaving no stone unturned to make the most of the fantasy lifestyles, putting themselves out in the real world as bigger and larger-than-life personalities.

When you call the SetParent function to allow a standard form to become a child form of a multiple-document interface (MDI) application, many child windowing features do not work.
This problem occurs because, by design, a standard window cannot be completely altered at run time to mimic a child window.
To work around this problem, use a dynamic MDI application in place of the SetParent call. ActiveX controls can be dynamically loaded onto a form. An MDI child form can dynamically load an ActiveX control that takes over the entire client area of the window. For more information on this approach, see the "References" section.
Using the SetParent function to change the ownership of a window in Visual Basic seldom provides the desired results. Therefore, Microsoft does not recommend or support this approach.
Use the sample code in the following steps to examine the problems that occur when you try to use the SetParent call to change a standard form into a child form.

The persistent paparazzi problem is nothing new, but Prince William and Kate Middleton are fed up with folks following their 13-month-old son Prince George everywhere he goes.
She's had a serious bout with morning sickness this time around and Kate Middleton is now supposedly pregnant with not one, but two heirs.
According to a betting firm called William Hill, gamblers are pretty keen on the possibility that the Duchess of Cambridge has two buns in the oven.
She's been sitting the bench for a few weeks due to severe morning sickness and Kate Middleton can't wait to resume her royal duties.
The Duchess of Cambridge had to skip out on several appearances, including a trip to Malta, because of hyperemesis gravidarum, though once she's done with her first trimester things should go back to normal.
He's always had a big heart, and Prince Harry got to spend some time with a few tragically sick children in London on Monday night (September 22).
The handsome heir attended the WellChild Awards at the London Hilton and received hugs and love from 4-year-old Carson Hartley, who battles spina bifida, a heart defect and brittle bones.
He stepped up and filled in for his pregnant wife Kate Middleton and Prince William looked to be having a blast during his visit to Malta on Sunday (September 21).
The handsome Duke of Cambridge showed up at the Agenzija Appogg youth center in Valletta and proceeded to play foosball with some of the local kiddos while shutterbugs snapped up photos.
He's been in great spirits given the success of his first Invictus Games, and now Prince Harry has someone with whom to share his excitement.
According to a report, the Royal hunk is back in the arms of his on/off girlfriend Cressida Bonas, as they split up back in April.
She was scheduled to travel to Malta this weekend for her first official visit overseas by herself, and unfortunately Kate Middleton won't be able to make the trip.
According to a Kensington Palace spokesperson, the Duchess of Cambridge "continues to suffer from the effects of Hyperemesis Gravidarum," so she's staying put.
It's been a huge success for wounded warriors the world over, and on Sunday (September 14) Prince Harry closed out the Invictus Games.
The red-headed hunk was in good spirits as he mingled with the crowd at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London, England and musical guests like Foo Fighters and Ellie Goulding showed up to perform.

The Well-Managed Virtual Hospital is a web-based and compact disc-based, 3-D interactive audiovisual business simulation of managing a real hospital. The primary purpose of the simulation is to serve as a training, education and entertainment tool. The primary target audience for the tool is the hospital board of directors, senior and middle management, medical staff leadership, and conference attendees. The business simulation uses graphic user interface (GUI) capabilities in concert with a decision-making database management system. When combined, the GUI and database management system convey to the user the appearance and experience of making decisions in a real hospital. The computer-based simulation has the capacity to accommodate up to five participants functioning as a single "virtual" management team. The simulation is structured so an organization can have up to 10 teams going through the simulation at the same time. A balanced scorecard is present throughout the simulation to give the team real-time feedback on the effectiveness and impact of the decisions they are making as a management team.
1. The Well-Managed Virtual Hospital, web-based and compact disc-based, 3-D interactive business motion simulation of running a real hospital.
2. The computer-based, audiovisual simulation is intended to be a training, educational, and entertainment tool focusing on the quality and effectiveness of the management decision-making process.
3. The business simulation contains graphic audiovisual user interfaces, including icons, modeled after a real hospital setting.
4. The business simulation contains a graphic display and depiction of a hospital emergency department, operating room, radiology department, nursing unit, conference room/decision-making room, and other departments.
5. The business simulation contains continuously present and visible balanced scorecards measuring a team's decision-making effectiveness at the departmental and hospital-wide level, simultaneously.
6. The business simulation provides "real-time" scoring and assessment of performance throughout the simulation from beginning to end.
7. The primary goals of The Well-Managed Virtual Hospital simulation are knowledge transfer, sharpened management skills, and improve individual and team performance.
8. A "virtual" management team tours the hospital and gathers information in the business simulation. The decisions made in relationship to the gathered information are then assessed for effectiveness.
9. The use of the "Decision Room" is a very important part of the business simulation.
10. A proprietary scoring system incorporated into the balanced scorecard system has been developed to function as a key part of the database management system.
11. Certain aspects of the business simulation, including hospital background and characteristics, can be customized to specific clients.
12. A bar charting system is an integral part of the performance reporting.
The present application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 60/550,798 (provisional) and update of Ser. No. 11/072,917 filed Mar. 4, 2005.

The Well-Managed Virtual Hospital, also referred to as the vHospital, is a computer-based software program simulating running a real hospital. The purpose of the web-based, compact disc-based simulation is to serve as a management training and development tool for hospital and healthcare executives. Participants will experience a very realistic hospital business simulation that is coupled with humor, education and entertainment along the way.
Using artificial intelligence, the business simulation introduces participants to the many complexities and challenges of operating a large metropolitan hospital. The computer-based simulation has the capacity to accommodate up to five (5) participants functioning as a single "virtual" management team. As the virtual management team performs a routine weekly tour of the hospital, it will be required to make key decisions about the strategic, operational and financial aspects of how the hospital and medical center are operated. The team's tour will include visiting many areas of the hospital including the Emergency Department, Operating Room, Radiology, ICU and medical/surgical nursing units.
The Virtual Hospital simulation is structured so an organization can have up to ten (10) teams [a maximum of five members on each virtual management team] going through the simulation at the same time. There are a number of upfront parameters the teams will have to contend with and use as guides in their decision-making processes, as they progress through the simulation. However, the outcomes will invariably be different do to the menu of "numerous" choices and challenges that will be facing each team.
Individuals and teams participating in the Virtual Hospital will not only be able to review the results of their decision-making processes, but they will also be able to readily see the impact of those decisions on various departments, and more importantly, the hospital as a whole. A unique aspect of the Virtual Hospital is each team's results from the simulation can be compared to other teams that simultaneously went through the simulation with it, but some how, had a different outcome. This comparison in itself can prove to be interesting.
The ultimate goal and value of the Well-Managed Virtual Hospital is it creates a:
The Virtual Hospital is a computerized and transportable tool that can be used in many different settings and formats including management retreats and training sessions.
The purpose of the virtual hospital simulation is to:
The target audience of the simulation is:
The challenges encountered in the simulation include:
The features of the simulation include:
There are three primary goals of the virtual hospital simulation:
One of the keys to significant knowledge transfer and performance improvement is "LEARNING".
From a learning perspective, studies have shown that we retain:
Clearly, training and development through "interaction" carries a significant advantage in the learning process, and the use of technology such as the Virtual Hospital is a major enabler in the learning process.
The most compelling feature of The Virtual Hospital is its ability to complement & integrate into any hospital management and leadership training and development program, including:
Some of the significant benefits of using this simulation for training purposes are to:
The essence of the performance improvement process lies in strengthening individuals' core competencies in the management areas. The virtual hospital simulation seeks to improve individual and team skills in baseline management and core competency requirements including:
The computer-based software simulation can be customized to individual hospitals. It has the capacity to accommodate up to five (5) participants functioning as a single "Virtual Management Team." During the tour in the E. D. prototype, the five team members will consist of the CEO, CFO, CNO, E. D. Nursing Director and E. D. Medical Director. As the Virtual Management Team performs a routine weekly tour of the hospital, the Virtual Management Team will be confronted with the strategic, operational and financial issues and problems related to improving the performance of the medical center. Using a balanced scorecard system, the actual decision-making process for the team will occur at the end of the tour in the "Decision Room" where they will have access to information to assist them during their deliberations.
The Virtual Management Team's performance will be measured based on a point system. The Team's points will accumulate as they progress through the hospital tour that includes the Emergency Department, Operating Room, Radiology, and nursing units. These four areas (modules) will constitute the focal point of the tour. The results of each team's effectiveness in the decision-making process will be judged by how well they generate points to achieve the stated performance targets under the following structure:
The Virtual Hospital Simulation includes three (3) major components in the assembly process. Those three components are:
The following table is the hospital simulation "Scoring Guidelines" to be used by participants (also seen in
The tour and decision-making process takes about four (4) hours to complete; one hour in each module. Within each module, approximately 15 minutes will be dedicated to the physical walk-through (including encounters with departmental staff), and the remaining 45 minutes will be in the Decision Room, deliberating decisions. Each module will have approximately 100 possible decision selections organized in fashion similar to an organization's balanced scorecard structure. If the participants wish to extend the length of time in the simulation, the program can easily accommodate this.
Some aspects of the simulation will have windows to allow for specific client customization needs. The areas of customization will include:
A. Hospital External Environmental Influences (for Example):
B. Hospital Background Information (for Example):
C. Organizational Financial Parameters (for Example):
D. Hospital-Wide Challenges (with the following examples):
E. Emergency Department Background Information (for Example):
F. Emergency Department Operational Information (for Example):
Wait Time:
G. Hospital-Wide Gap Analysis/Performance Improvement Target:
H. Emergency Department Gap Analysis/Performance Improvement Target:
The Decision Room is the central control point and decision-making venue of the simulation. Each time the participants complete touring a particular department, they return to the Decision Room. The Decision Room has the appearance of a large conference that has been stocked with information and reports strategically located around the room to assist them with their decision-making process. A navigation panel, containing icons, is provided to assist participants in easily moving around the Decision Room and back and fourth to each department toured in the simulation. Instructions on how operate within the Decision Room are provided in the Room.

Mary Armstead, program director for the National Institutes of Health Information Technology Acquisition and Assessment Center (NITAAC), has been appointed acting associate director of NIH's Office of Logistics and Acquisition Policy Management, agency officials said Sept. 11.
Robert Coen, current deputy director of NITAAC, has been tapped as its acting director.
In her new role, Armstead will oversee three divisions: acquisition policy and evaluation; simplified acquisition policy and services; and financial advisory services. Armstead will report directly to Diane Fraiser, director of the logistics and acquisition office and head of contracting activity.
The changes happen Oct. 1.
"I have truly enjoyed my time at NITAAC, and found the position extremely fulfilling," she said in a written statement.
NITAAC hosts several governmentwide IT acquisition contracts, including the Chief Information Officers-Solutions and Partners 3 and its small business version, as well as the Electronic Commodities Store III (ECS III) for IT hardware, software and related services.
Coen said he's ready to carry on Armstead's success.
"With the award of our two new CIO-SP3 GWACs, each valued at $20 billion, we have aggressive plans for agency outreach and training, as well as keeping the contractor community engaged and involved," he said.

Subramanian compares the actions of religions that engage in animal sacrifice to the factory farming industry, and suspects that pub … [Read more...]
Just Because You're Paranoid, Don't Mean They're Not After You
Forgive the nod to Nirvana, whose "Nevermind" is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, but I've been reading an awful lot lately about accusations of paranoia regarding coverage of the Christian religious phenomenon known as Dominionism. For some reason Kurt Cobain sneering "just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after you" kept entering my mind. Maybe it's a generational thing. httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWgtTxvTUDA In any case, ever since the presidential candidacies … [Read more...]

I live 22 miles from the major city in the tri-county area. I was delighted to pick up police, fire, emcomm traffic using the provided whip antenna, on the ground floor. First trunking receiver I've owned, not certain what's "normal" - radio occasionally wants to freeze in a trunk group with no audio. No digital capability but an excellent value. Programming is different but easily done once you get the hang of it. Manual is pretty well written too.

Placed my order by phone (with Joey) fast, friendly, professional service. Received my PRS-410 in 4 days, not counting a weekend.
Haven't got it up and running yet, think I'll read the book first.
Had to rate all aspects of the product or it won't accept the review, therefore I defaulted to 5 strars.
I plan to give a performance review after I have some working time with it.

Recipe by Annaid
"This is an Ethiopian recipe that is slightly altered to better accommodate ingredients commonly available in the US. Use spinach if you prefer; and if you can't find cardamom, just leave it out. I first made this for a school project in junior high."

1 (16 ounce) package
cottage cheese
3 cloves
garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon
3 teaspoons
grated fresh ginger
1/8 teaspoon
ground cloves
2 tablespoons
1/4 cup
finely chopped onion
green chile pepper, chopped
2 pounds
fresh collard greens, cut into 2-inch pieces
We are no strangers to collard greens in our house, but adding the cottage cheese and spices set it off nicely
I had cottage cheese by chance and I wanted to spice it up a bit, but this was not the best way to do it. I didn't like it personally, I thought the clove taste was a little overwhelming. However, I really enjoyed making something new and stepping outside the box by tasting culturally different foods.
5 Ratings
One of my favorite restaurants is Ethiopian, so I always keep an eye out for recipes from this country. This was fairly dull. Perhaps the cottage cheese is a little too sharp.

Google quietly made substantial changes to its Plus Terms of Service, addressing the tactics of social attackers and relaxing its feelings about art nudes.
Violet Blue unapologetically covers the intersection of tech trends and media stories about corruption, hypocrisy and redemption from tech's fault line, San Francisco.
Google quietly made substantial changes to its Plus Terms of Service, addressing the tactics of social attackers and relaxing its feelings about art nudes.
While you were busy freaking out about government surveillance, censorship blossomed at the one corporation that has the most power to fight -- or enable -- suppression of speech: Google.
Google will soon disappear blogs on its Blogger platform that don't conform to its new anti-adult policies.
Google's AdSense has told San Francisco news outlet The SF Appeal that it has three days to remove editorial content that violates its advertising policy. UPDATED.
Geek Mental Help Week. Starting Monday October 27 the week-long online event intends to raise awareness, pool resources, and spark discussion about mental health issues and well-being among geeks. OPINION.
Facebook is enforcing its "real names" policy, insidiously outing a disproportionate number of gay, trans and adult performers -- placing them at risk for attacks, stalking, privacy violations and more.
The celebrity stolen nudes debacle has everyone talking about failed protections and victims. Violet Blue thinks it's time to talk about fighting back.
It's been just over one month since Violet Blue switched from being a lifetime Apple and Android user to trying out a Nokia 925. Our newest Windows Phone user has a few things to say.
In a dramatic reversal from policy enforced since it was created three years ago, Google will now allow users to use any name they want across Google services.
What's it like for a lifetime Apple and Android user to begin using a Windows phone? Violet Blue found out.
ANALYSIS: An emotional manipulation experiment Facebook conducted on 689,003 unknowing users has drawn scrutiny from Washington in a formal letter to the FTC.
News of Facebook experimenting on its users' emotional states has rattled everyone. Worse, the tool used to perform the experiments is so flawed there's no way of knowing if users were harmed.
'Quora's misogyny problem' is a tempest out of the teapot, and its current trolls-gone-wild state is a perfect example of why user-based websites need to change the way they think about targeted users.
OPINION: One month after creator and leader of Google+, Vic Gundotra, quietly quit, Google chief Sergey Brin told a conference audience last week that involvement in Google+ was "a mistake." He made the exact opposite statement in 2011.
Adult "tube" site PornHub examined its enormous user data stores with an eye on browser types, but the results reveal that phones and tablets are now 50-50 with desktop porn consumption.

Holly Robinson Peete Has Two 'Four-Legged Kids'
Holly Robinson Peete is having a banner run on this season's Celebrity Apprentice. She has so far been spared Donald Trump's infamous missive, and last week, as project manager, Robinson Peete led her team to raise the most amount of money in a single task in the show's history.
On last night's episode, Robinson Peete surprised her husband, Rodney Peete, with a check for $347,000, which they plan to use to build a center for autism. Peete, in turn, surprised his wife with a visit from her four bouncing kids, who tackled her to the floor in a big bear hug.
Robinson Peete stopped by our studios recently to chat about her time on the show, and shared stories about her family, which includes her two "four-legged kids," Frederick Douglass Peete and Harriet Tubman Peete.
Harriet, a Newfoundland, not only is a "huge line item in our budget for food," she's a loving companion to Robinson Peete's oldest son, R.J., who is autistic.
"She's almost like a service dog for R.J.," Robinson Peete tells PEOPLEPets.com. "She's brought him out of his shell in a lot of ways."
Check out the rest of our interview with Holly Robinson Peete in the video above.

The Chicago Blackhawks have been ousted in the first round of the playoffs the past two years after winning the Stanley Cup. The Blackhawks believe they can make a big run this season where there's little room for error with just 48 games to play. It starts with Saturday's opener at Los Angeles. The Blackhawks still have the same cast of stars from their championship run, with captain Jonathan Toewes (tayvz) , Patrick Kane and Marian Hossa, but salary-cap issues forced management to part with key pieces of the supporting cast. And they haven't quite found that same sort of mix.

Overall Experience
June 30, 2015
Upon my arrival there were two large moths in the room. The chair was worn. Liked the kitchenette area. There was not much food at breakfast--they needed to restock the food more often. Hallway a little loud.
June 29, 2015
Business trip, the social hour was a most welcomed bonus that exceeded my expectations of what it would entail. Had a king stuido that still included a kitchenette and loved the full sized fridge.

This was the quietest hotel I have ever stayed in. We were behind the elevator and never heard it move, even though we knew it was in use.
It is clean, the beds are firm but comfortable and enough pillows to make you feel right at home.
The kitchen has enough utensils to prepare a small meal if desired.
The staff was kind, accommodating and helpful. We were lost due to GPS errors and they managed to get us there without difficulty. They helped us find a nice place to eat even when we arrived late and gave directions to the directionally challenged that were easy to follow.
Great breakfast and attentive staff. The eggs were fresh and warm and plentiful.
I would stay there again when we go back to Wisconsin next year.

Gold Codes
The Gold Codes are the launch codes for nuclear weapons provided to the President of the United States in his role as Commander-in-Chief of the United States armed forces.[1] In conjunction with the nuclear football, the Gold Codes allow the president to authorize a nuclear attack.[2] Gold Codes, as well as a separate nuclear football, are also assigned to the Vice President in case the president is incapacitated or otherwise unable to discharge the duties of office pursuant to the Twenty-fifth Amendment.[3][4][5] Gold Codes are arranged in a column and printed on a plastic card, nicknamed "the biscuit".[6]
The card is similar to a credit card, and the president carries it on his or her person. Before it can be read, an opaque plastic covering must be snapped in two and removed.[7]
Gold Codes are generated daily and provided by the National Security Agency (NSA) to the White House, The Pentagon, United States Strategic Command, and TACAMO. For an extra level of security, the list of codes on the card includes codes which have no meaning, and therefore the president must memorize where on the list the correct code is located. The concept behind the codes is that they permit the president to positively identify himself as the commander-in-chief and thereby authenticate a launch order to the National Military Command Center (NMCC).[8][9]
Should the president decide to order the launch of nuclear weapons, they would be taken aside by the "carrier" of the nuclear football and the briefcase opened.[3] Once opened, the president would decide which "Attack Option", which are the specific orders for attacks on specific targets, to use. The Attack Options are contained in the Single Integrated Operation Plan and include Major Attack Options (MAOs), Selected Attack Options (SAOs), and Limited Attack Options (LAOs). The chosen attack option and the Gold Codes would then be transmitted to the NMCC via a special, secure channel. As commander-in-chief, the president is the only individual with the authority to order the use of nuclear weapons,[10] however, the two-man rule still applies. The National Command Authority comprising the president and Secretary of Defense must jointly authenticate the order to use nuclear weapons to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.[7] The order would then be transmitted over a tan-yellow phone, the Joint Chiefs of Staff Alerting Network, otherwise known as the "Gold Phone", that directly links the NMCC with United States Strategic Command Headquarters at Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska.
Other items in the football include plans for continuity of government, and letters the president signs delegating authority to the vice president should that need to happen. The satchel also includes a secure satellite phone and is always near the president, carried by a uniformed, armed military officer of the O-4 pay grade or above (Major in the Army, Air Force, or Marine Corps or Lieutenant Commander in the Navy or Coast Guard). All U.S. nuclear weapons are subject to the same stringent command and control protocols, including land-based ICBMs, nuclear weapons carried by B-52 and B-2 aircraft, and Trident missiles carried by U.S. Navy submarines.

Newsweek Cover Story Discusses Psychology Student and Faculty Research on the Development of Racial Discrimination in Children
Posted: September 14, 2009
Research by Drs. Rebecca Bigler and Brigitte Vittrup, as presented in this week's Newsweek cover story, "Is Your Baby Racist", reveals the importance of having explicit conversations about race in terms children can understand.
"For decades, it was assumed that children see race only when society points it out to them. However, child-development researchers have increasingly begun to question that presumption. They argue that children see racial differences as much as they see the difference between pink and blue—but we tell kids that "pink" means for girls and "blue" is for boys. "White" and "black" are mysteries we leave them to figure out on their own."
...from "Is Your Baby Racist", Newsweek, 09/14/09

APNewsNow. With AP Photos. Chicago Bulls forward Luol Deng will miss Saturday night's game against the Memphis Grizzlies with a sore right hamstring. Deng, averaging a team-high 17.4 points, tried to play through the injury Friday at Boston but scored a season-low three points on 1-of-6 shooting before aggravating the injury and exiting late in the third quarter. Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said Deng is day-to-day, and Deng is not scheduled for an MRI. Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins is hoping to have forward Zach Randolph back in the starting lineup. A strained back kept Randolph out of Friday night's win over the Kings. Hollins said if Randolph feels good in warmups he will play. Randolph is averaging 16.4 points and 11.6 boards and leading the league with 25 double-doubles.
