The Dynamics of Culture
Being aware that cultures change over time.
Cultures which survive have the property of change. Although some can only be preserved in toto within the environment in which they arose, most can take bits and pieces from other cultures and still retain their identity.
This ability to change must always be kept in the forefront when doing anthropological research. When the research was done has to be part of the analysis, as many cultures undergo changes within a generation or two.
For example, stepping into a lecture theatre in 1970 one would encounter highly politicised students, many actively engaged in the Anti-War Movement, Feminism, Black Power, Civil Rights, etc.
Stepping into the same classroom in 2005 one encounters a rather apathetic bunch, more akin to those of the 1950s, who attended college to gain the qualifications for particular positions (or marry well).
To attempt to use a monograph about University Students written in 1970 to understand the 2005 student, would ensure failure.
Hence, use that image when reading an ethnography done twenty or more years ago. The moment in time an ethnography reflects might be obsolete. One could be studying a culture that no longer exists, making the most horrendous errors in direct encounter.
Although many instructors cling to the studies they read as undergraduates, outside of a critical analysis of the methodology, the document might be worthless. Language changes. Words take up different meanings over time.
In Jamaica in the 1980s, the City buses were called "Chi- Chi" buses, because of the sound they made when stopping. The term "chi-chi", in the late 90s, became a euphemism for homosexuality.
A new editor, having spent the past fifteen years in London wrote "Chi-Chi bus drivers strike," which caused a near riot among drivers, and resulted in the Editor having to be removed.
Yes, he was born in Jamaica, attended High School, left for University. The changes in Jamaican Culture in fifteen years made the Peace Corp Worker with six months under her belt, far more fey in the current 'runnings' then he was.
Consider everything you "know" of another culture with extreme suspicion. Be very careful in making assumptions. You can glance at a previous ethnography, but don't use it as a foundation.
Never forget, to survive change is vital, hence the culture you are about to study has changed since that document was published.

Another good article by you.
I find that although there is certainly a variety of cultural diversity, the difference in people across the globe is not that radical. People are pretty much people.
On May 21, 2008 at 10:48 am
How people respond to stimuli is different depending on
not merely where they are, but the culture to which they
Certain attitudes/actions are un/acceptable under the 'rules'
of that culture. If one is oblivious to the rules; i.e.
saying 'no' to an ape, then one is going to be fairly useless
in studying that culture.

MILWAUKEE The Milwaukee Bucks have assigned rookie guard Doron Lamb back to Fort Wayne of the D-League, general manager John Hammond announced Sunday. This will be Lamb's second stint in the D-League, as he was first assigned to the Mad Ants on Jan. 12. He appeared in two games for Ft. Wayne and averaged 7.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game. His shooting struggles carried over to the D-League, as Lamb shot just 22.7 percent from the field. Since being recalled by the Bucks on Jan. 21, Lamb has been inactive for all seven games. The rookie has yet to appear in a game under Jim Boylan and last played for the Bucks on Jan. 5. Finding a niche in the Bucks' rotation in late November, Lamb averaged 15.9 minutes per game during a 15 game stretch, mainly because guard Beno Udrih was out with a sprained right ankle. Taken 42nd overall in the 2012 NBA Draft by the Bucks out of Kentucky, Lamb is averaging 3.4 points per game. Lamb will report to the Mad Ants in time for Mond...

Los Angeles, California (PRWEB) May 06, 2013
According to an April 24, 2013 Fox News article entitled "Cosmetic Fillers a 'crisis waiting to happen', UK Review Finds" (go to goo.gl/D17na), the use of cosmetic fillers has been increasing as more people seek cosmetic procedures to restore youthfulness and enhance their physical appearance. However, regulations are not stringent enough and no law currently prevents untrained, unlicensed practitioners in the U.K. from providing dermal fillers.
"It really is amazing to think that someone with no training at all could inject dermal fillers," says Dr. Simon Ourian, Medical Director of Epione Beverly Hills. "In California, where I practice, the issue is not so much the need for greater regulation but the lack of enforcement."
In the report, the medical director of the National Health Service says that he believes cosmetic procedures should be performed exclusively by licensed practitioners, but numerous dealers are providing the services without the requisite training; putting their clients' wellbeing at risk. With unlicensed practitioners, there is a heightened chance that inferior products or methods are being used.
In the U.S., according to the report, the FDA is much more stringent about which dermal fillers it has approved for use. As a result, there are only fourteen dermal fillers in this market, including Juvéderm, Restylane, and Radiesse. This is quite different from Britain, where the amount of these products ranges somewhere between 140 and 190.

My most anticipated games as of July 2011
Goddamn video games.
Goddamn video games.
I feel really bad about missing out on deus ex back in the day. That game seems like a real gem and I have no idea why I missed out on it, I remeber playing quite a lot of video games when deus ex came out. But just reading about deus ex and its setting made me really excited about this game. And oh dear jesus that e3 trailer. They really need to make a deus ex movie.
I need a new multiplayer game! I've been playing bad company 2 a bit but that game just doesn't do it. After playing around 700 hours of tf2 I need a game that will replace it, hopefully it will be this one.
Not a big fantasy guy myself. Played couple of hours of oblivion and morrowind but those games never really ticked for me. Hopefully this game will switch it up. I will at least do my best to beat this game.
I really hope this is a sequel to far cry 2 and not a shitty call of duty clone. Far cry 2 had some really good ideas but it needed a lot of polish, hopefully this game will make it happen.
I'm more excited to see how this game turned up than playing it. I wasn't the biggest fan of diablo 1 and 2 but I enjoyed them a bit so hopefully I'll enjoy this one as well.
What the fuck? Iron sights in a serious sam game? I just have to see how this game will turn up

Israel in twin ceremonies honored non-Jewish Poles who rescued Jews during the Holocaust and those who have preserved Jewish memory since World War II.
Israeli Ambassador to Poland Zvi Rav-Ner on June 8 recognized five Polish women as Righteous Gentiles for risking their lives to save Jews during the Shoah. About 6,400 Poles have been honored by Yad Vashem as Righteous Gentiles, and more are recognized each year. Rav-Ner presented the awards to the grandchildren of the honorees, who are all deceased.
At a separate ceremony the same day, Rav-Ner presented the annual Preserving Memory awards to eight individuals and one organization in recognition of their efforts to preserve and care for Jewish heritage, culture and memory in Poland. It was the 15th edition of the awards, which have recognized more than 170 people throughout Poland.
This year's honorees came from the provincial towns of Grodkow, Szczekociny, Pulawy, Seroczyn, Rzeszow and Jastrowie. They were honored for projects including cleaning up Jewish cemeteries, writing books about local Jewish history and organizing Holocaust commemoration events.

"Great apartment and location for kids"
We stayed in the apartment in August 2012. We were a family of 4 including kids aged 12 and 8. Everything about this holiday was first class starting with the pre arranged transfer from the airport, we walked right outside the terminal and there was our minibus to take us to the apartment.
The apartment was extremely spacious for 4 of us and we could have got many more in it, it is really spacious with all the facilities you would need.
The pool area is really well looked after and is very safe for kids as the
Pool is not too deep even at the deep end. As for the location it is just far enough out of town to enjoy a leisurely stroll to the bars and restaurants and it is on a nice quiet road.
I would recommend this apartment highly to anyone!

Let us know whom we should get to know at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Job description: DMMO is a growing opera company with many exciting new performances and events in store. With this growth means an increased need for support, so this position was added to help enhance the development team. As the development coordinator, I am responsible for cultivating our donors and coordinating our fundraising events.
Background: Growing up with a dad who is a farmer and a mom who is a fundraiser, I had a diverse childhood. After finishing my associate degree in agriculture business at Kirkwood Community College, I transferred to Mount Mercy, where I obtained my bachelors degree in marketing. Eddie Bauer hired me and sent me to Des Moines, where I managed the Valley West Store. Then at Living History Farms I had an opportunity that allowed me to combine my love for farming and appreciation for nonprofits as the director of retail operations. After leaving LHF, I helped open the first Whole Foods in Iowa before taking my current position at DMMO.
Why I do what I do: Ever since I was a child I have been in love with the arts, yet while young it became apparent that my talent is not in the performing arts. My position at DMMO allows me to use my fundraising skills to help people that are much more talented at performing arts than I am! Knowing that I am a part of bringing opera to central Iowa is very rewarding.
What I do to get away from work: When I am not at work, I enjoy tackling projects on my small acreage. In the summer, you might find me hanging out by a bonfire or working in my garden. I consider myself a foodie and enjoy checking out new restaurants in Des Moines with friends.
How I give back to the community: I am passionate about helping my community eat better; some organizations I have volunteered for that help do this are Practical Farmers of Iowa and Seed Savers Exchange. I also really enjoyed helping open the Tallgrass Co-op in Valley Junction.
Words to live by: You are capable, competent, creative and careful: Prove it. I read this on a fortune cookie once and it has stuck ever since.
The best place in central Iowa to entertain clients or colleagues: Des Moines is filled with amazing local restaurants, such as Baru 66, Proof and Alba. There is no shortage of delicious food and great entertaining.
One thing I would change about the Des Moines area: I wouldnt change anything! Des Moines offers an abundance of great local businesses, and I would encourage people to shop these local shops to help our local economy. Des Moines wouldnt be as special without these hometown businesses.
What Iowa can do to attract more people like me: Iowa is all about being part of a community, so I believe we need to keep the community accessible. Having a place to relate and interact with others is important. Iowa offers some great organizations that help make this possible, such as Urban Ambassadors and Young Professionals Connection.
What I would do if I could do something else: I would be teaching others how to grow their own food. Having my own acreage and growing up on a farm have taught me how to raise my own food, and I want to share those skills with others.
Contact information: You can reach me by phone at 515-961-6221 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Here are the highlights of the epic viral video
The Falcons recently released a virtual flyover of the new stadium that looks like it must've cost at least as much as one of the proposed PSLs. (And just in case they can't sell a PSL, there's a 15-second ad preceding the video.) The 3-minute, 30-second 3-D tour will leave you wowed and a bit dizzy. So we broke down the highlights:Read more

The term "malocclusion" (poor bite) refers to a number of possible
conditions. The most common are:
A normal fit is when the upper teeth are slightly forward of the
lower teeth.
Malocclusion, when there isn't a normal fit, is
classified by how the upper and lower teeth fit together. The bones of the jaw
are also checked for proper position in relation to the teeth.
A jaw structure problem that children are born with can cause
malocclusion. Malocclusion can also cause the jaw joint to move out of place.

Romance me
I admire a man who is hardworking and is dedicated to doing his best at his work, whatever that may be. I'm attracted to a man who laughs easy and who doesn't take life too seriously. Who sees the humor in life and inspires happy moments. I appreciate a man who compliments me (only when he means it), who gently puts his hand on the small of my back and guides me through a room, who kisses my forehead. I love a good adventure, whether it be kayaking, ziplining or hopping in a car and driving somewhere I've never been. I also love relaxing outside on a warm, sunny day, sipping a glass of wine, enjoying my surroundings and having a great conversation. I have a loving son, who is also quite the adventurer. There's not a ride at Kings Island he won't get on. One of my favorite things in life is to make people smile. Bringing joy to others brings me the most joy. I love to spoil my man and I'm also a romantic. A surprise candlelight dinner with his favorite meal (and dessert) is the sort of thing I like to do. I have other surprises up my sleeve as well, but you'll have to be my man to know about those ;) I'm looking for a man who knows how to treat a lady. If that's you, send me a note.
Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Performing arts , Playing sports , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering , Wine tasting
Aerobics, Billiards / Pool, Bowling, Cycling, Dancing, Skiing, Swimming, Tennis / Racquet sports, VolleyBall, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines, Yoga
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
Middle of the Road
Love live music. Especially outside on a warm night. Coolest places I've been our islands while on a cruise...St. Lucia, Barbados, St. John, Antigua. My goal is to see as much of the world as possible.
Shows I like - Modern Family, Dexter, New Girl. All time favoite movie is Dumb and Dumber, love comedy! Also like Old School, Stepbrothers, Meet the Parents. Needless to say I love comedy clubs :)
anything outside! bicycling,K.I.,zoo,just taking a walk. I also like going to movies, wineries, listening to live music. 2 things I will do within a year is hang glide and go ziplining. When it's cold out, curling up to a fire and a good book.
I read a lot! I'm currently reading Count of Monte Cristo. favorite authors are Jodi Picoult, John Grisham, Stephen King, Dean Koontz. I also love all kinds of inspirational type books. I'm always striving to be a better person.

I get emails asking me if I believe the Antichrist will be Islamic. Some give me a list of reasons why I am wrong in my articles to think that the Antichrist will come from Christianity or Judaism. They send me reasons from other Bible prophecy teachers why the idea that Bible prophecy teachers thought the Antichrist will come from the Roman Empire was wrong and why he will really come from Islam. Although I respect the Bible prophecy teachers that are now teaching this I do not believe that the Antichrist and his Beast government will come out of Islam.
I will start with a slightly modified excerpt from my article on Islam:
"How the "holy war" with Islam will bring in the Antichrist?
There are now large Islamic populations in most European countries and among these populations are those trained in terrorism. When the war between the West and Islam does occur it will be totally necessary to isolate Islamic peoples in Europe in concentration camps. In order for this round up to be successful these States will have to become police states. This police state will get out of control and ultimately bring about the Beast Antichrist government and system. Hitler's reign was a foreshadow of how this could come about but instead of a national socialist movement there will be a world pseudo Christian dominionist socialist movement. When the satanically possessed European dictator comes on the scene he will somehow appease Islam and Islam will join into the one world religion movement. Later, the dictator is killed and becomes incarnated by Satan. At that time he will claim to be God. He will move the world government headquarters to Babylon and he will turn on and destroy the harlot world religion. He will be easily accepted by most Muslims as their concept of "God" because he has the exact same nature as their Allah. He will seek to kill all those who will not worship him as God.
Islam is setting the foundation for the Antichrist Beast world system. Islam now totally controls or has major influence over forty nations in the world. In most other nations Islam is a rising force. Islam controls the masses by force and when it has control it does not tolerate other religions or those who do not adhere to its dictates. Islam in reality worships the god of this world and his name is Satan. When the god of this world becomes incarnate in the man we call the Antichrist he will be recognized by those in Islam as Allah. I am not saying that the Antichrist is Islamic although that is possible. I tend to think the Antichrist figure when incarnated by Satan will claim to be Zeus and will have supernatural help from fallen angels. Nevertheless, subtly Satan has established a worldwide foundation for his monotheistic world religion with himself as God and this foundation is called Islam. I do not think the Antichrist will claim to be Allah. He will claim to be above anything called God. (2Th2:4)
My point is that the leaders of Islam will recognize him as their own concept of God and the followers of this counterfeit god will use the world network already in place in Islam to rapidly bring in the forced world religion and the political system of the Antichrist. We get a strong signal from the book of Revelation about the power base of the Antichrist because like the Islamic fascist's of today they also behead their enemies."
So, it is not that Islam will be the Antichrist government. Those who have been indoctrinated by Islam will recognize Satan as the God they worship that they call Allah. I still think that radical Islam will force world religious wars that will bring in the Western Antichrist figure out of the area of the Roman Empire. I still believe that harlot Christianity will be the head religion that rides on the back of the Beast of Revelation chapter 17. I see no other option to fulfill that prophecy. At the mid-point of the seven years the Beast claims to be greater then anything called God and all people that do not love the truth will buy into the lie through his deception.
Nevertheless, Islam is setting the foundation for that intolerant religion all over the world. I think an ecumenical movement will follow the religious wars where all names of God in all Religion will simply mean the Creator. Then one will arise claiming to be the Creator but he will have the attributes of Satan and the world will follow him believing that He is the Creator.
Having said all that, I fully understand why Christians would think that the Antichrist will come from Islam. It is antichrist. But when pseudo and dominionist Christianity fight the person labeled by the West, "the Islamic Antichrist" it will set the stage for someone in the West who will defeat radical Islam all over the world. This Western leader will be the actual Antichrist but he will be labeled a hero and the Messiah. The pseudo Christians and Jews will receive Him as a Messiah figure so you can understand why everyone even the elect will be deceived if that were possible. Like Jesus said to the Jews, "one will come in his own name and him you receive". The Jews would never receive someone out of Islam as their Messiah. They will accept someone who will counterfeit their Messiah and lead them to destruction.
Meanwhile, dominionist pseudo Christians will expect Jesus to come after the defeat of the person that they had labeled the Antichrist. However, those wars will only be false birth pains with a false tribulation created by man's wars. Antichrist will try to counterfeit the role of the second coming through a satanic false tribulation that can be identified with the four riders in the Seal Judgments of Revelation. I do not think the 70th week of Daniel actually starts until the sealing of the 144,000 Jews at the sixth seal but you have to also realize that I believe there are at least 10 1/2 years from the rapture until the second coming not 7. I believe when pseudo Christianity is expecting some type of Christ they will get the Antichrist.
I am almost sure aliens (demons) will somehow be involved in that deception as well as Marian apparitions. The pseudo Christian world and Israel will get a Christ like that they want. He will lead them to take over the world and set up a world kingdom called by God, "Babylon the Great" but after Antichrist sets up his counterfeit kingdom of god he will turn on those who will not worship him with a vengeance. So in my opinion those teaching that Islam is the government of the Antichrist could be setting people up to be deceived through the future holy wars and by the real Antichrist. In my opinion, they are not seeing the whole picture. They have substituted something that today seems obvious on the face of it. It makes sense from today's point of view to say Islam will be the government of Antichrist but if all scripture is taken into account it really does not fit. It is all too simplistic, just like those who thought Hitler's Fascism or Communism were the demonic movements that would bring in the Antichrist.
Also understand that Islam is a bastardization of the scriptures. It really does not mater if Muhammad distorted Bible prophecy, or if his followers did, or if it came from Satan. The point is that Islam is a counterfeit of the real. We should not take lying prophecies of the counterfeits and expect to find truth in them just because their lying prophecies seem to fit Bible Prophecy of an Antichrist.
The Bible implies that the Antichrist is Assyrian. He very well could be a Catholic with Jewish blood who will be brought up in a Middle-East country. Thus, he will appeal to all three religions and fulfill their expectations. Think of an Obama type person with a Jewish mother and a Arab father who claims to be a Christian. Of course that is just meant as a suggestion it may turn out quite different.
All religions are moving toward pluralism and universalism. Once radical Islam is defeated people may be free to believe what they want in private but in public there will be no proselytizing allowed and all exclusive clams to God will be outlawed as hate speech in the name of world peace and security. Wait until after the war against Iran, Syria, and all radical Islam and you may see the picture more clearly.
Why should we look for a revival of Catholicism? Because it will provide the answers the world is looking for. The supernatural manifestations claiming to be Mary will be a deception used by Satan in the last day. Read the works of Roger Oakland on this topic. Catholics worship Mary, Muslims have more regard for Mary then they do Jesus and many have images of Mary and follow the Marian manifestations. Even Eastern religions have high regard for Mary idols. So imagine a scenario where during a bloody religious war a so called divine intervention comes from this "Queen of Heaven" demon (there is nothing new under the sun). The world is then set up for a one world religion. It also is no accident that the Emergent and Emerging Church movement is moving back toward Catholicism, and mysticism, as are some mainline churches and Word-Faith, NAR, New Wave Pentecostals.
I admit that if you just look at the situation today it would look like the Antichrist comes out of Islam but there are always backlashes and counter-revolutions. Thirty years ago everyone though Communism would be the catalyst. Today they think it will be Islam. Islam will be the catalyst but it will be the catalyst to bring in the Antichrist out of a Roman Empire that will proceed to unite all religion back under the Pope. Also keep in mind the leader of the Roman Church at the time of the Antichrist is after the true Christians are removed. So the remains of the Catholics will not contain true Christians. In addition, take note that the Vatican is the only religion on earth that has embassies in almost every nation and has a seat at the U.N. and they are mentioned in written U.N. plans to establish a world religion.
When pluralism and universalism is the world religion Jesus will not be regarded as God. That will be outlawed. How anyone can think that the Western world that is now rapidly moving toward religious pluralism, universalism and amorality is going to accept the exclusiveness and the laws of Islam is beyond me? That is not at all realistic and there is no way that Islam can militarily conquer the West.
When Satan is actually booted out of the Heavens with his angels and he claims to be God on earth and he has his fallen angelic army to help him enforce his decrees then he will use those in Islam and all repressive religions to further his agenda. That is the parallel. It is not that the Antichrist is Islamic, it is that Islam and all religion outside of true Christianity is antichrist and all of those religions will help bring him in power.
The only biblical reference to the decent of the Antichrist is that he is possibly Assyrian. He appears to move his throne to Babylon only after he actually becomes incarnated by Satan. The woman that sits in the midst of the ephah in Zec chap 5 seems to be the same woman that John talked about as sitting on seven hills ruling over the world at the time of his writing. This woman was in Rome but this woman called wickedness is carried to Babylon for the last 3 1/2 years.
Having said that, go ahead and believe what you want. It is not going to change the future one iota and I am not going to be convinced by anyone that the Antichrist or the Beast government will be Islamic.
If you want more background information on the identity of Mystery Babylon you will find it in Chapter 17 of my Revelation Commentary.

Calls for low-rise Fishermans Bend
Fishermens Bend is ripe for development, but planning experts warn there are serious lessons to be learned from the Docklands experience.PT1M59S http://news.domain.com.au/action/externalEmbeddedPlayer?id=d-1az8t 620 349 February 18, 2011
- New inner-city 'growth' suburb to be created
- Fishermans Bend to be transformed
- Two-hundred hectares of land
- Is it a good idea? VOTE, post a COMMENT
AN AREA more than twice the size of Docklands is to be opened up for inner-city housing under an ambitious plan to be launched within months by the Baillieu government.
About 200 hectares of land around Fishermans Bend - now a light-industrial area of factories and vacant lots near West Gate Bridge - is to be transformed into a suburb housing tens of thousands of people.
Ripe for redevelopment ... An aerial picture of Fishermans Bend.
Planning Minister Matthew Guy has told The Age he will establish an Urban Renewal Authority in the next four months to oversee a 20 to 30-year plan for the area.
''The Kennett government had a vision for Docklands, the Cain government saw [a vision for] Southbank - and now the Baillieu government has a vision for Fishermans Bend,'' Mr Guy said. ''It's a big challenge and it will be a big legacy, but it's one I think we have to get right now.''
He said it would be ''a suburb of high-density accommodation that is unlike anywhere we've seen in Australia''.
The project fits in with the government's stated policy of refocusing some urban growth from Melbourne's fringes to its heart - a policy that state-owned developer VicUrban is to be involved in implementing.
Naming urban renewal as the new government's biggest planning challenge, Mr Guy said Fishermans Bend would evolve as ''Australia's first inner-city growth corridor'', exceeding the nearby Docklands development in size and scope.
''This is a revolutionary concept,'' Mr Guy said. ''In the past governments have only viewed growth corridors through the prism of outer urban growth.
''The Baillieu government sees the opportunity to strategically place Melbourne as being the first city to have an inner-city growth corridor and that [Fishermans Bend] is an area with a large enough parcel of land to do that.''
Unlike the Docklands project, which placed large commercial buildings with tenants such as the ANZ and NAB banks alongside residential apartment towers, the Fishermans Bend project would focus on more affordable housing, he said.
He said it was too early to give a figure on the number of houses to be built. The style and density of development would be determined in the planning stage, with precinct structure and development plans to be finalised in the next four years.
Land would be rezoned and incentives provided to encourage residential development.
Property Council of Victoria chief executive Jennifer Cunich said if the government managed to redevelop up to 200 hectares, depending on the density of the buildings, as many as 10,000 to 15,000 dwellings could be built.
''Fishermans Bend, the whole precinct there, is the most obvious next phase … but we need to start talking about how many homes we are putting into the marketplace,'' said Ms Cunich, adding that Victoria was delivering 6000 fewer homes than needed each year.
Mr Guy said development of the area would take up to three decades. It would not encroach on the Webb Dock facilities at the end of Williamstown Road but it would include the E- Gate precinct opposite.
''We don't have a vision for a suburb of multimillion-dollar apartments,'' Mr Guy said. ''We have a vision of a suburb that is a genuine growth area for Melbourne which can offer people a higher-density style of accommodation closer to the city that is different to an outer urban growth market, but one which might have a broader spectrum of people living there.''
Andrew Macleod, chief executive of the Committee for Melbourne, said it made sense to develop underutilised light industrial land so close to the city for housing.
The cost of decontaminating the land would be a critical factor, as would providing better public transport, possibly a myki-integrated water-borne system, to serve new residents, he said. ''We need to be very careful about how we relocate the light-industrial stuff that is already there … The Boeing factory is the second largest Boeing factory in the world.''
Fishermans Bend would benefit from an honest scrutiny of the strengths and weaknesses of the Docklands renewal project, Mr Macleod said.
Mr Guy said the project was an opportunity for growth in an area of the city similar to the urban renewal that took place in Vancouver, Canada, and some other North American cities. ''We have the opportunity to get this right, to put in place long-term structures that will outlast me as Planning Minister and run into successive governments in 20 to 30 years' time.''
Good idea? Post a comment...

Aging baby boomers face home health care challenge
CLEVELAND For the past three years, Taura Tate's mornings have revolved around caring for a woman who suffers from the effects of a stroke and diabetes. She cooks her oatmeal for breakfast, helps with showers and makes sure she takes the right medicine.
Without the help of a home health aide, the woman, who's in her 70s, would be in a nursing home instead of living on her own.
But Tate has her own struggles. Until a recent promotion, her pay amounted to what she could make at McDonald's. She doesn't get health or retirement benefits and has worked at five agencies in the Cleveland area, some simultaneously, to guarantee she'll have enough clients.
"If they go into the hospital or go on vacation, you don't get paid," she said.
Demand for home health care workers is soaring as baby boomers - the 78 million Americans born between 1946 and 1964 - get older and states try to save money by moving people out of more costly nursing homes. But filling more than 1 million new home care positions over the next decade will be a challenge.
Most home health aides are paid about the same as maids and manicurists and don't get sick days or health insurance themselves. Many who are self-employed must pay for their own gas for driving to appointments and cover their own medical bills if they're hurt on the job.
The U.S. Labor Department projects that home health and personal care aides will be among the fastest-growing jobs over the next decade, adding 1.3 million positions and increasing at a rate higher than any other occupation. If those jobs can't be filled, many older Americans are likely to face living with relatives or in nursing homes, which will only cost families and taxpayers more money.
Some aides say they have no choice but to say no when people call looking for help because they can't afford to take on someone else.
"It's hard because I love helping people, but at the same time I've got three kids," said Kimberly Ingram, a home health aide in Lancaster, S.C. "When you add up your miles, your gas money, you don't make nothing."
Her part-time job delivering newspapers pays better when you factor in the time and travel some home care jobs need, she said.
Nearly half of all home care workers live at or below the poverty level, and many receive government benefits such as food stamps, unions and advocacy groups say. The median pay a year ago was $9.70 per hour - 4 cents less than fast-food workers and short-order cooks, according to the most recent statistics from the Labor Department.
Agencies that supply home health workers blame states and the federal government for failing to increase reimbursement rates for Medicaid and Medicare patients at a time when costs are going up.
Home health services are an easy target for cuts because they're not required by federal law, and legislators in states with big deficits say they have no choice but to cut Medicaid spending, the second-costliest item for states behind education.

Groovejet (If This Ain't Love)
|"Groovejet (If This Ain't Love)"
|Single by Spiller featuring Sophie Ellis-Bextor
|14 August 2000
|2× Platinum (ARIA)
Platinum (BPI)
"Groovejet (If This Ain't Love)" is a song by Italian electronic producer Spiller, featuring vocals by British singer-songwriter Sophie Ellis-Bextor. The single was released in August 2000 by Positiva Records. It peaked at number one in the UK,[1] New Zealand, Ireland and Australia, as well as charting at number three on the American Hot Dance Chart. On 15 September 2000, the song was certified gold record status by the British Phonographic Industry, and was certified platinum on 22 July 2013. Various versions of the single were later featured on the German reissue and some UK editions of Ellis-Bextor's debut solo album, Read My Lips.
The track was originally created by Spiller in 1999 as an instrumental, with no singing, and was included on the Mighty Miami EP. It is mainly built upon samples from "Love Is You", a disco song originally performed by Carol Williams with the Salsoul Orchestra. In order to make the track more palatable for airplay, as the instrumental is somewhat repetitive, Positiva asked British singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor, formerly with indie rock band theaudience, to provide lyrics and vocals for the song. Before recording, the lyric was partly reworked by Rob Davis, who replaced Ellis-Bextor's proposed hook "And so it goes..." with the line "If this ain't love...", thereby providing the song with its subtitle. Boris Dlugosch produced the vocal portions added to the track. Sharon Scott is the back-up vocalist. The track has been remixed by Boris Dlugosch and Michi Lange, Todd Terry, Solar, Ramon "Ray Roc" Checo and Ernest St. Laurent.[2]
In the UK, the single was first released in the same week as "Out of Your Mind", Victoria Beckham's first song since the breakup of her group, the Spice Girls. "Out of Your Mind" held the midweek number one in the UK singles chart until Saturday, when "Groovejet (If This Ain't Love)" overtook it in sales; it was hyped by the media as a personal battle between the two artists.[3][4] The song was the 8th best selling of 2000 in the UK. A live version of the track appeared as a B-side to Ellis-Bextor's single Music Gets The Best of Me, and in 2003, "Groovejet (If This Ain't Love)" was re-released as part of Positiva Records 'Remixed' series.[5]
According to technology journalist Steven Levy, "Groovejet" was the first song ever to be played on an iPod, specifically on a prototype unit in August 2001.[6] Upon its inclusion on Now 46 in the UK, released a month before the single, it became only one in a few songs to be included on a Now album before it had been released as a single. The booklet write-up correctly predicted it to be a hit.
The song was ranked at number 486 in Pitchfork Media's list of the Top 500 Tracks of the 2000s.[7]
Music video[edit]
The video for the song shows Spiller and Sophie making their way separately around Bangkok. Spiller meets people and signs autographs, while finding his height makes life there difficult; Sophie sings wistfully at various tables in bars. Spiller takes a taxicab while Sophie takes a tuk-tuk, and eventually they meet at a nightclub.

Battered May cut by Minnesota
FORT MYERS - The Minnesota Twins whittled down their pitching staff Sunday, releasing veteran left-hander Darrell May.
May was 2-1 in eight spring training appearances, including one start, but had surrendered 24 hits in 14 innings and had a 7.71 ERA. May gave up five hits and three runs in two innings Saturday against the Reds in Sarasota, including home runs to Ken Griffey Jr. and Adam Dunn.
The Twins invited May to spring training as a non-roster player to compete with Gabe White and Dennys Reyes for a bullpen spot as a left-handed specialist. May was a combined 1-4 last season for the New York Yankees and San Diego Padres.
White retired after one spring appearance, but Reyes — who has thrown only 3Ò innings this spring because he missed time while pitching for Mexico in the World Baseball Classic — remains one of 12 pitchers in camp.
The move doesn't yet clear up the future for Francisco Liriano, the Twins' prized pitching prospect. Minnesota is still debating using the 22-year-old lefty as a reliever. Liriano won't start, but will finish up a game later this week for Carlos Silva, who is slated to throw five innings.
The Twins also reassigned infielder Jason Hart and outfielders Andres Torres and Josh Rabe to the team's minor league camp.
YEOMAN RADKE: Veteran right-hander Brad Radke threw 67 pitches in Sunday's 7-5 loss to the visiting Tampa Bay Devil Rays, allowing five hits and two earned runs in five innings. The outing lowered his spring ERA to 5.82 over 17 innings.
"I just got my work in and threw my pitches," Radke said. "That's about it."
Radke will make one more start this spring, and will throw 80-85 pitches.
BARTLETT SLOWED: Shortstop Jason Bartlett suffered a minor hamstring strain in Saturday's game against the Reds. Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said Bartlett is experiencing some pain when throwing, but not when swinging a bat.
Outfielder Ruben Sierra, who the Twins hope will provide depth in the outfield and at first base, is still nursing a strained quad. Gardenhire said the switch-hitting Sierra is having some pain when hitting right-handed.
COMING UP: Kyle Lohse will start for the Twins at 1:05 p.m. today against Gustavo Chacin and theToronto Blue Jays at Hammond Stadium. The Twins and Blue Jays play again on Tuesday, this time in Dunedin. Scott Baker will face Scott Downs in that game.
TWIN BILLS: Gardenhire said reliever Juan Rincon, who is recovering from offseason elbow surgery, will throw in a minor league game on Tuesday. ... The Twins and Rays combined for six errors in Sunday's game. ... Reliever Jesse Crain gave up his first run of the spring against Tampa Bay. He entered the game with six straight scoreless innings. ... With Sunday's loss, the Twins fell to 13-13 this spring.

Product description
The Drugs Don't Work - A Penguin Special by Professor Dame Sally Davies, the Chief Medical Officer for England. If we fail to act, we are looking at an almost unthinkable scenario where antibiotics no longer work and we are cast back into the dark ages of medicine where treatable infections and injuries will kill once again (David Cameron, Prime Minister). Antibiotics add, on average, twenty years to our lives. For over seventy years, since the manufacture of penicillin in 1943, we have survived extraordinary operations and life-threatening infections. We are so familiar with these wonder drugs that we take them for granted. The truth is that we have been abusing them: as patients, as doctors, as travellers, in our food. No new class of antibacterial has been discovered for twenty six years and the bugs are fighting back. If we do not take responsibility now, in a few decades we may start dying from the most commonplace of operations and ailments that can today be treated easily.

Hello Everyone,
I recently decided to make my site a bit more mobile friendly and easily added WPTouch plugin to my blog. Now, I've had "Google Analytics for WordPress" plugin installed for a very long time and I do believe that this plugin places the Analytics code in the header of the site.
So, my question is do I need to still setup the Google Analytics for WPTouch if the code is in the header by another plugin? I'm not familar with the backend of how WordPress works and not sure if WPTouch takes over preventing "Google Analytics for WordPress" plugin from placing the code in the header.
Thank you all for your time.

Omapatrilat inhibits neutral endopeptidase (NEP) and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE). We compared the effects of omapatrilat (40 mg/kg/day, p.o.) to fosinopril (40 mg/kg/day, p.o.) on flow-induced vascular remodeling in New Zealand genetically hypertensive (GH) rats. Both drugs equally reduced blood pressure (BP) initially, but systolic BP and pulse pressure were reduced more by omapatrilat after 1 week. Carotid remodeling was induced by partial ligation of the left common carotid artery (LCA). There was little remodeling in untreated GH rats – measured as outer diameter to body weight (OD/BW vs. before ligation): 97 ± 1% of initial LCA (low flow) and 107 ± 3% of initial right common carotid artery (RCA, high flow). In contrast, OD/BW increased to 118 ± 5% (p < 0.05) of initial RCA after omapatrilat versus 108 ± 2% (p = 0.96) after fosinopril. The major change was increased RCA lumen area which was significantly larger in omapatrilat-treated animals (127% vs. control) than fosinopril-treated animals (103% vs. control). The increase in outward remodeling after omapatrilat treatment correlated weakly with vascular cGMP levels and decreased systolic BP. The results suggest that dual inhibition of NEP/ACE may have greater effects than ACE inhibition alone on vessel remodeling in hypertension.

April 2013: Making the Grade
Making the Grade
Jacob Fulford:
Two for Third
Fulford now works as laborer for the National Park Service at Castillo de San Marcos.
Jacob Fulford twice finished in third place in the secondary division of the National Masonry Contest, held in conjunction with the annual SkillsUSA National Leadership and Skills Conference.
With a surprising lack of disappointment, Jacob says, "I wanted to win the competition, of course; but I'm happy and proud to have done as well as I did. I think it's neat how it turned out. I won the Florida competition twice and, in my second national contest, there were only three points (out of a possible 1,000) between first place and my third place!"
Fulford graduated last May from Pedro Menendez High School in St. Augustine, Fla.
"I feel like I excelled from the beginning," says Fulford, "but I really benefitted from the extra instruction I got from 'Crutch.'"
"Crutch" would be James Crutchfield, who instructed Fulford in high school.
"I was Jacob's instructor his sophomore and junior years," says Crutchfield. "I coached him his senior year."
Prior to Fulford's senior year, the masonry program at Pedro Mendenez High School was eliminated, and Crutchfield took a fulltime position as the head mason at Castillo de San Marcos, a Spanish fort constructed near St. Augustine in 1672. As such, it is the oldest masonry fort and the only extant 17th Century fort in North America. A national monument, it is operated by the National Park Service.
Crutchfield felt he had a lot invested in his students, so he stayed on as a volunteer SkillsUSA coach, instructing the boys on Fridays as well as evenings and weekends, when the boys desired.
"We had a great team," says Crutchfield. "I never made them practice. They wanted it. They wanted to get better.
"We won our regionals four years in a row," he continues. "The last two years, students from our seven-man team placed one, two and three in the Florida State competition. And, of course, Jacob represented us well at two national contests.
"Jacob is a conscientious, hard worker," Crutchfield adds. "He'll do anything you ask him to do. He's energetic and fun to work with. Jacob has come a long way from when we started working together five years ago."
Fulford and Crutchfield now work together as laborer and supervisor for the National Park Service at Castillo de San Marcos.
In summer 2010, having heard of the SkillsUSA masonry team at the nearby high school, the National Park Service hired all seven masonry students and their instructor for a special project at Castillo de San Marcos. The next summer, the NPS re-hired Crutchfield, Fulford and another student. With the masonry program at Pedro Menendez High School cancelled, Crutchfield stayed on as a fulltime mason, while Fulton returned to finish his senior year of high school.
Crutchfield later recommended Fulford when he was hired as his mason-helper as soon as Fulford returned from the National Masonry Contest in Kansas City, Mo.
"Jacob is in a special student program with the Park Service," says Crutchfield. "He has his job as long as he stays in school."
Fulford is upholding his obligation by attending classes two nights a week at nearby St. Johns River State College. He intends to complete his associate degree.
"I really hope to stay in masonry with the Park Service," says Fulford.
"First, preservation masonry really interests me; and second, I think there's always going to be work. The National Park Service looks after over 25,000 structures and things are always deteriorating!
"In preservation or restoration masonry," Fulford continues, "it's all about figuring out how to make it better without destroying the historical fabric of the structure. You want to be able to see it as it was."
Crutchfield stresses the importance of authentic materials and tools in historical masonry restoration. "We use hand tools and mortar mixes that are historically accurate to the times. They are different than what we use today. Old-timers who used lime-based mixes better understand what we are doing," says Crutchfield.
"The other important issue in masonry restoration, especially stone work, is knowing what to keep and what to replace," says Crutchfield. "I was taught by a mobile masonry restoration team from the NPS. I'm passing on what I learned to Jacob."

Diamond Rio
Although Diamond Rio had some initial health issues to deal with, they pulled through, and the band's self-titled debut album was released in 1991 and quickly became a platinum-selling smash. Its lead single, "Meet in the Middle," went all the way to the top of the country charts, making them the first ever country group to have their debut single also be a number one hit, and it also spun off a stunning four additional Top Ten hits -- "Mirror Mirror," "Mama Don't Forget to Pray for Me," "Norma Jean Riley," and "Nowhere Bound." By the time that run ended, the group had already recorded a follow-up, Close to the Edge, which appeared in late 1992. The Top Tens "In a Week or Two" and "Oh Me, Oh My, Sweet Baby" continued the group's incredible run of success, helping the album go gold, while "This Romeo Ain't Got Julie Yet" just missed the Top Ten, their first single to do so. Released in 1994, Love a Little Stronger produced a number two hit in its title track, but since the album was more of a showcase for the group's musicianship and eclectic tastes, it wasn't as commercially successful as its predecessors. The group took a similar approach for 1996's IV, but this time it slowly caught fire; "That's What I Get for Lovin' You" and "Walkin' Away" both went Top Five, and a re-release of the album's first single, "Holdin'," did likewise.
With their commercial momentum restored, Diamond Rio issued Greatest Hits in 1997; both of the compilation's two new songs -- "How Your Love Makes Me Feel" and "Imagine That" -- went Top Five, and the former became their second number one hit. The all-new Unbelievable followed in 1998, and landed two more Top Five hits in "You're Gone" and the title cut, the latter of which inched into the pop Top 40 as well. The group kept going strong on its sixth album, 2001's One More Day, whose title song was the band's third number one. Released in 2002, Completely ran that total to four with the chart-topping "Beautiful Mess," and added another Top Ten hit in "I Believe." In 2006, after 15 years together as a band, Diamond Rio issued Greatest Hits, Vol. 2, which contained their first single, "Meet in the Middle," songs that were on records released after the first Greatest Hits, as well as four new tracks. A holiday album, The Star Still Shines, appeared in 2007, with a set of religious and gospel songs, The Reason, following in 2009. ~ Steve Huey, Rovi

The typical structure of 99% of U.S. non-profit arts organizations includes segregated artistic, administrative, and development departments. My colleagues who work in such segregated institutions experience chasms between departments and waste time bickering and competing for an even share of resources. Aside from the intention of human resource efficiency, I have never understood the acceptance of this structure.
Upon leaving graduate school I was fortunate to co-lead a small organization, Asian American Dance Performances, where there was no division between the artistic and administrative staff. I happily danced and choreographed while writing my first grants and figuring out excel spreadsheets. I always loved math and spatial relationships, which were the modalities I used to learn dance. After completing a graduate program where my portfolio included a written thesis, performance thesis, and written and oral comprehensive examinations, I was able to talk and write about dance with ease. I could make a case for my artistic work and the work of my fellow artists. Read the rest of this entry »

Despite last fall's ratings surge and a successful television movie event, Smallville is now struggling to retain the viewers it once had since returning from its month-long absence three weeks ago. Even storylines involving DC comic familiars such as the Silver Banshee and Checkmate failed to garner an audience.
Ratings finally reached an all-time season low with last week's return of Metallo (Brian Austin Green).
Before February's break, the average rating this season for an episode of Smallville was a respectable 2.5 million viewers. While not that high (when compared to last season), the series was still exceeding expectations – given its move to the Friday night death slot.
Considering Smallville has some of the most vocal and enthusiastic fans in the television industry, one has to wonder what is behind this consistent decline in ratings. Have fans become less enthusiastic since their favorite superhero drama has already received another season order, feeling as though they no longer need to actively support the Red-Blue-Blur & friends. Maybe, everyone has just had enough of the small-town superhero living in the big city?
Perhaps it's just as simple as fans forgetting to tune in.
Did Metallo stab Clark? Since nobody watched, we'll never know.
I, unfortunately, fall into the group of fans who just forget watch. Sure, the missed episodes of Smallville are on my DVR, but as I notice the number growing each week, it's an increasingly discouraging affair – as I haven't the time, nor interest, to sit down for three hours in order to catch up.
And, since I'm not caught up, there's no point in watching the new episodes.
Although, with the promise of the Justice Society returning, I do have some incentive to rectify the problem, but maybe I'm still in the minority.
What do you think of Smallville's ratings decline? Have you been tuning in? If not, what's the reason? Do you think the tenth season will be its last?
Help turn things around and watch Smallville, Friday @8PM, on The CW.

Notes & Reviews:
Ten recordings of classical masterpieces, ranging from Schubert to Tchaikovsky, performed by Zubin Mehta, Jorge Bolet and more, re-released at an affordable price.
BBC Music Magazine
The glory of this disc is Brahms 1 - an Andante of unalloyed bliss.
Gramophone Magazine
The Schumann [Fourth] shows powerful structural conviction ... It begins by striking just the right ominous note, and the Allegro grows from this compellingly ... Krips's avoidance of easy sentimentality is welcome, as is his refusal to linger affectionately over passages that please him at the expense of overall vision. Transfers are up to Decca's customary high quality, giving a clean, immediate sound.
Gramophone Magazine (Schumann Symphony No. 1)
Krips's smiling, companionable approach is so sympathetic.
Gramophone Magazine (Brahms Symphony No. 1)
An extremely fine performance in many ways with plenty of weight and sense of purpose. The playing of the Vienna Philharmonic is both sensitive and splendidly alive; the slow movement is thoroughly felt and eloquently phrased. Krips's reading combines strength and tenderness, power and lyrical feeling.
Gramophone Magazine (Brahms Symphony No. 4)
Superb... There are no histrionics about Krips's reading, in which everything is beautifully proportioned and carefully calculated. The music moves forward to its natural climaxes, in each of the four movements, with a wonderful feeling of inevitability that leads logically and dramatically to the crowning achievement of the great Finale. The orchestral playing is sensitive, vigorous, and poised to a nicety, and the recording does full justice to it.
