moreBusiness transformation management is the holistic management of extensive, complex changes on which an organization's future success strongly depends. 'BTM squared' or 'Business Transformation Management Methodology' presents a new approach to business transformation management, developed by a unique partnership of international corporations, academics, and consultants in response to the increasing pressures on organizations to perform in the face of a rapidly changing environment, and the inability of current transformation models to help in the implementation of change processes. Given the limitations of existing methods and management approaches and in view of the complexity of business transformation, successful business transformation management can be seen as a meta-management discipline that integrates and extends individual disciplines.The Business Transformation Academy (BTA) manages a trans-disciplinary, interdisciplinary and intercultural network operating under the auspices of the Business Consulting Division of SAP, the global provider of enterprise software and business support. Under the leadership of the BTA, an interdisciplinary team of thought leaders from psychology, information technology, strategic management, process management, and social sciences have joined together to create a '360-degree' view of what business transformation means. This handbook, created by 30 experts from all over the world is intended for C-level executives, reflective managers and consultants, and those with an academic interest in change and transformation. BTM2 focuses on a holistic, integrative approach to transformation. The need to see transformation from a strategic point of view has long been espoused, but a conceptually robust and practical method to achieve this has yet to be articulated. This book provides such an integrative approach and methodology, with an emphasis on the balance between the rational and emotional aspects of transformation. Transformation is frequently addressed as a technocratic exercise, the success of which depends on accurate diagnosis of need and the selection of appropriate means of communication. Failure is chiefly laid at the door of poor needs analysis or poor communication. However, issues around the emotional readiness of employees to absorb and accept transformation initiatives are often underestimated. How the rational and emotional aspects of transformation can be combined is a consistent theme throughout this handbook.Critically for practitioners, the emphasis in this book is on execution. Managers in transformation contexts often know what to do, and yet they fail to execute. This is an enduring feature of organizational life and this book is about closing the knowing-doing gap. A wide range of theory is discussed to help understand the phenomenon of transformation, but above all, this is a practical work. It is characterised by new content on key elements of transformation management and new insights from the case studies that were used to both develop and test the BTM squared methodology that is offered here. less

Mutant flies have lower relative fitness in a co-culture competition assay. We determined the relative fitness of mutant and wild-type individuals through a co-culture competition test lasting five generations at 25°C. For this test, we had obtained flies isogenic and homozygous for Hsp83P/P and Hsp83+/+ from the Okayama, Tokyo, and Ivory Coast populations, as described in the main text. We seeded three co-cultures with an equal number of flies of the mutant and wild-type genotype in three parallel co-culture competition experiments started with individuals from the Okayama (filled diamonds), Tokyo (filled cycles), and Ivory Coast population (filled triangles). We seeded two further co-culture competition experiments with lower percentages of mutant flies (30 and 10 percent, open diamonds) from the Okayama population. Each seeding population comprised 100 flies. We genotyped fifty flies in each generation. Note the consistent decrease in allele frequencies in most lines as time progresses.

Police: Red Lake Falls man shoots himself after forcing way into ex-girlfriend's homeRED LAKE FALLS, Minn. – A Red Lake Falls man is dead after forcing his way into an ex-girlfriend's home and apparently shooting himself, according to police.
Deputies from the Red Lake County Sheriff's Office found Kevin Salveson, 53, dead in the home of Heather Altendorf, 38, at about 4 p.m. Saturday in Red Lake Falls.
Altendorf was transported to Sanford Thief River Falls Medical Center for non-life-threatening injuries she sustained when Salveson struck her in the face with the butt of a .308 caliber rifle. She was released the following day.
Salveson went to Altendorf's home with the intention of killing her and then killing himself, police reported. After being struck with the gun, Altendorf escaped to a neighbor's home, where she called 911.
Altendorf and Salveson had dated in the past, including living together in Red Lake Falls for a period of time, but had not been actively involved for about a year, police said. Police said a restraining order against Salveson was filed by Altendorf and approved early last week.
Before the shooting, Salveson was staying with friends in Red Lake Falls – approximately three blocks away from Altendorf's home. Further investigation showed Salveson had fired the gun inside his residence before heading out to confront Altendorf.
Salveson's body was taken to the University of North Dakota Forensic Pathology Department for an autopsy.

One type of
sexual problem in women is pain during intercourse.
Pain often is caused by a physical reason, such as injury or anatomical
problems. If examinations and tests confirm that a physical condition is
causing pain during intercourse, treatment of that condition may get rid of the
pain. In some cases, such as with the medical condition
endometriosis, surgery may be recommended.
There is no surgical treatment for sexual problems unless
pain is caused by endometriosis or another medical condition.
Certain surgical procedures may
cause sexual problems. For example, it is common for a woman who has had her
breast or breasts removed (mastectomy) or has had her uterus and
ovaries removed (hysterectomy and oophorectomy) to report reduced
sexual desire.
Sexual therapy may be recommended after surgery to
assist you and your partner in finding methods to stimulate sexual arousal
and achieve sexual satisfaction.
There are advertised procedures, such as "vaginal rejuvenation" surgeries, that promise to increase sexual pleasure. But such surgeries may not provide any benefit. And they may cause harm. They also may be costly and painful. Talk with your doctor about treatment for a sexual problem. If he or she is not able to help you find answers, ask for a referral to a doctor who is a specialist in this area of medicine.

THQ and Yuke's are back with WWE Day Of Reckoning 2, exclusively for the Nintendo Gamecube. The game has improved on every aspect of the original, delivering an extremely well-rounded and enjoyable wrestling game for fans and newcomers alike.
Day of Reckoning 2 is a satisfying entry in an ever-growing list of wrestling games. The game plays well and offers a control scheme that manages to be both complex and relatively simple. However, it doesn't escape some of the problems that always tend to plague wrestling games.
Two main attacks dominate each match: strike and grapple. Moving the control stick in various directions in conjunction with either of these buttons results in different types of attacks. This is nothing new, but the implementation of a submission system is surprisingly gratifying. When attempting a submission move, you can use the c-stick to select one of four different kinds of submissions. Your opponent however, has the opportunity to guess which of the four you've chosen. If their choice matches yours, they immediately escape.
Day of Reckoning 2's extensive tutorial does a great job of preparing you for the matches to come. It makes everything seem pretty simple. Of course once you get in the ring against a real opponent, things change quite a bit and it takes a little time to remember the moves you learned all at once. However, the game will provide you with hints as to what button you should be hitting during the matches, so the learning curve is a short one.
Just like in all wrestling games though, DoR 2 suffers from sporadic periods of intense button mashing. There are times when you spend a full minute furiously pushing a button just to get your wrestler to stand. There are Momentum Shifts, where you're able to turn the direction of the match on a dime, right before you're about to lose. This may be authentic to real wrestling, but it can get frustrating when you're on the other end. Also, it can at times be difficult to run in the direction that you actually want to run in.
There are two main ways to play Day of Reckoning 2: Exhibition and Story mode. In Exhibition mode, you can pick from any of the 35 wrestling superstars to battle it out in the ring. After choosing your fighters, you can then pick your match style. Every type of match you can possibly conceive of is here: Normal 1on1, Hardcore, Ladder, Table, Steel Cage, Hell in the Cell, Royal Rumble, and the ever stimulating Bra & Panties match. You can also challenge your friends in various types of 4 player tag and free-for-all matches.
Besides Exhibition, the game features a lengthy Story mode, which perfectly mimics the twists and turns of a typical WWE plot. Everything from the intense rivalries to the overly theatrical dialogue is included. Moments when one wrestler is by himself talking trash in the ring and another, uninvited wrestler shows up with a microphone to challenge him are especially pleasing. There are also instances throughout the game where you get to choose what to do next. For example, you can pursue a new belt, or teach a lesson to one of your personal rivals. Those who have played the original Day of Reckoning will be disappointed to learn that though the storyline picks up where the last game left off, you cannot import your created character.
On the upside, however, you get to use Day of Reckoning 2's incredibly detailed "Create A Superstar" feature. There's an unbelievable amount of options at your fingertips when making your own wrestler. If you're not careful, you'll spend half a day just creating your character. It doesn't stop at your appearance either. You can create your own intro, right down to the camera angles used when you enter the ring.
Professional wrestling may be fake, but the high level of detail found in this title is very real. The graphics alone are head and shoulders above the original's, due to an increased polygon count in each wrestler. The likeness of each character to its real-life counterpart is impressive: every trait is meticulously re-created, from tattoos to facial hair to greased up chests. The characters fill the screen, and size up perfectly to one another.
Locations don't vary that much, but then again, it's a wrestling game. You unlock different events as you go though, so you can wrestle at all the major pay-per-view events.
Despite its flaws, WWE Day of Reckoning 2 is a fun game. Fans will love the attention to detail when it comes to both the character models and Story mode. And non-diehards will rejoice just to have a great-looking, well-rounded wrestling game with plenty of replay value.

Yes, we do! The guys do an amazing job and have some of the highest client ratings across all the cleaners.
Yes. The cleaners go through a rigorous screening process that includes third-party national background checks, reference checks and in-person interviews. What this means is that you can always trust us for reliable, top quality service.
Matching the right cleaner for each client is both a skill and a process; much like selecting a babysitter or doctor! If you aren't satisfied with your cleaner for any reason, not to worry- we are happy to send you a different cleaner on your next appointment. We want our clients to develop a relationship and rapport with their cleaner(s). Once you are satisfied with your cleaner, we will try to send the same cleaner to each of your reoccurring appointments.
Yes, absolutely! We will try our best to send you the same cleaner, if requested. However, depending on the requested cleaner's appointment schedule and availability, we may need flexibility on your side to ensure the same cleaner can return. If you set up recurring appointments in advance (same day of the week, same time of day), we will do our best to book the same cleaner on all your appointments.
Tipping & Gratuity (i.e. can I add tip to my bill?) Homejoy never requires tipping, but it is a powerful way to say thank you to your cleaner. Remember your appreciation need not be monetary. A personal note from you expressing your appreciation for their service can mean a great deal. You can give cash directly to your cleaner on the day of the appointment. If you'd like to add a tip to your bill, just send us an email at firstname.lastname@example.com within 24 hours of your appointment and let us know how much you'd like to add. Most of our clients are comfortable giving a 20% tip for a great cleaning.

A local group of community organizers and attorneys host occasional workshops to inform citizens about the legal system. Their most recent workshop, held yesterday, focused on rights within the educational system. KRCB reporter Danielle Venton was on hand.

The woman who died Saturday afternoon when she jumped into a canal near Loveland to save a puppy has been identified as Brittany R. Schult, 23.
The Larimer County Coroner today ruled her death an accidental drowning.
Schult lived at Eden Valley Institute, a Seventh-day Adventist mission southwest of Masonville. She was a staff member who worked on Eden Valley's organic farm, president Frank Fournier said.
"It broke our hearts," Fournier said of Schult's death.
Fournier said Schult was walking her dog when the puppy jumped or fell into the canal, which is west of Eden Valley's 550 acre complex. "She tried to rescue the dog and fell in," he said.
Loveland Fire and Rescue Operations Chief Ned Sparks said the accident happened shortly before 3 p.m. Saturday as the woman and friend were walking near the Charles Hansen Feeder Canal.
The puppy made it out of the canal safely, but the woman was swept away in the current. Her friend sought help. Sparks said the water was about 40 degrees and 5-feet deep.
Signs along the canal warn of "certain death" because of the swift current moving frigid water from the Big Thompson River north to Horsetooth Reservoir.
Divers from Loveland Fire and Rescue, the Berthoud Fire Protection District and the Larimer County Sheriff's Office recovered the woman's body around 7 p.m., he said. She was found several miles north of where she fell in.

1796 Dime, Iridescent-Toned Gem JR-11796 10C MS65 PCGS Secure. JR-1, R.3. The U.S. Mint struck its first silver half dimes of the Flowing Hair style in 1794-95 (the 1792 "Martha Washington" style half dismes were struck on Mint presses but not in the Mint facility, which had not yet been built), but it would be 1796 before the Mint finally issued a full suite of coinage, including every then-authorized denomination from the lowly half cent to the majestic gold eagle. That suite also included the first silver dimes, of the Draped Bust style that had superseded the Flowing Hair motif by that time. The Small Eagle reverse remained, however, on dimes of the 1796 and 1797 issues, before ceding to the Heraldic Eagle reverse on the 1798- and later-dated dimes.
Vibrant, Satiny Mint Luster
Vibrant, Satiny Mint Luster
The JR-1 die pairing is here represented by an incredible Gem example. The seven known die marriages comprise six obverse dies and five reverse dies, of which the JR-1 is the most frequently seen. On the obverse LIBERTY is unevenly spaced, IB nearly touching at their bottoms and widely separated at their tops. The tops of TY nearly touch. Virtually all examples show a die cud break at star 1 -- here in about the same state as that shown in the JR dime book. On the reverse, two leaf points appear under the A in STATES. This piece displays vibrant satiny mint luster complementing iridescent champagne-gold and violet toning with an added touch of amber on the reverse. Extensive die cracks appear on both sides as noted in the book, most noticeably the crack from the E in STATES through the leaf, eagle's head, right wing, and field. The strike is sharply detailed in most areas, although the coin shows some slight softness in the centers, like most late impressions from these dies. Only minor signs of contact appear, and no adjustment marks occur on either side. Population: 5 in 65, 8 finer (9/12).(Registry values: P7) (NGC ID# 236B, PCGS# 4461)

Shop Stuff
The rain finally returned to Oregon after almost four months of glorious sunshine and with that the projects will start moving mostly indoors. This whole summer has been devoted to getting the house, shop and honey do's into a manageable state with an eye on next season. Although it will probably take another couple of years to get the shop really dialed in, took another small step forward this weekend, building a HD work bench to accomodate metal working tools and creating a storage space underneath to house welders, torches, sandblaster, etc.
Here is a before picture, lots of %$#^&*%#!!! clutter;
Another view;
After building a HD bench, still planning to make a backstop and cover with metal and also wiring in 220 for the welders, etc.;
Lots of room on top for the mill and perhaps a heavy vise, after this picture was taken moved the rest of metal working tools underneath. My wife came out to see what I wa sup to, her first comment was "will the motor home still fit in the shop?" DOH!
A quick measurement of the shop width and motorhome indicates that with care, it will still slide in (just barely ) WHEW!

Roget extends Royals stay
By Paul Higham
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
The leggy defender only figured once for The Royals but has said that is happy at The Madejski and wants to stay and fight his way into the team.
Alan Pardew's side look set for a place in Division One and he is looking to keep the 24-year-old who has plenty of experience in the division.
Roget told Reading's website that he did not want to return to Carlton Palmer's relegated Stockport, and is enjoying his stay in Berkshire.
"I didn't really want to go back to Stockport and I've enjoyed it here even though I've not been playing. I'm hoping I'll get another chance before the season's end," said Roget.
"I'm very happy to play and train here, and now the management here can have more of a look at me until the end of the season.
"In the latter part of the month I've felt much more settled here and I think that's shown when I've played for the reserves."
Meanwhile, County midfielder David Smith has been told he has no future at Edgeley Park by boss Palmer.
The club must now start to ready themselves for life in Division Two and Palmer does not see the 31-year-old scouser as part of his plans.
The news could alert Macclesfield Town boss David Moss, who has already tried to sign the playmaker in the past after a successful loan spell at Moss Rose, but his bid was then turned down by The Hatters.

State data show no significant change in graduation rates for nonpublic schools
EVANSVILLE - Data released Wednesday by the Indiana Department of Education show no significant changes in graduation rates over the past four years for students receiving a four-year diploma from three nonpublic high schools in Evansville.
Evansville Day School shows a slight downward trend of graduates dipping from 92.3 percent in 2009 to 90.9 percent in 2012. However, the graduation rate was 100 percent in 2010. For the 2012 graduating class, Day School had 20 graduates.
Mater Dei High School reports an upward trend of 99.3 percent graduation rate in 2012 compared to 97.1 percent in 2009. However the Catholic Diocese of Evansville high school reported a 100 percent graduation rate in 2011. In 2012, Mater Dei had 137 graduates.
Memorial High School inched downward slightly dipping from a 100 percent graduation rate in 2009 to 98.4 percent in 2012. But in both 2011 and 2010, the Catholic Diocese of Evansville high school had a 99.5 percent graduation rate.
Catholic Diocese of Evansville Superintendent Daryl Hagan said the two Catholic high schools have a long tradition of perfect to nearly perfect graduation rates.
"The essential elements of an academically rigorous and doctrinally sound program provides the foundation for such success in these rates," Hagan said. "I applaud the students, teachers, administrators and parents working together to ensure that each student not only graduates, but is prepared for post secondary education and to live a life of purpose."
The four-year formula establishes a cohort (or class) of first-time freshmen that grows and shrinks as students transfer in and out of school during the years that follow. The Department of Education says that since a student never moves to a different cohort, this provides an accurate measure of the percentage of students who graduate in four years or less. Officials say publishing five- and six-year rates includes students who persist even though they do not graduate in four years.
The graduation rate for students attending Indiana high schools increased to 88.4 percent in 2012 compared to 86.6 percent in 2011. The Department of Education's website also provides a second rate due to differences between Indiana and federal reporting requirements. The federal rate exempts fewer students from the cohort and is lower than the Indiana rate. Despite previous requirements that Indiana report a federal rate, this is the first time Indiana has reported the federal rate, which is 87 percent.
In 2003, the General Assembly passed legislation (IC 20-26-13) that instructed the Department of Eduction begin using a new method for calculating high school graduation rates in the 2005-06 school year, the first time four years of student-level data was available. According to the Department of Education's website, "an accurate measure of the high school graduation rate is a critical step toward improving high school accountability and improving our understanding of the characteristics of the population of students who do not earn regular high school diplomas or who take longer than four years to graduate."

Budding University of Memphis journalists go hyperlocal in gathering news
Students report deep into neighborhoods
It's nearly midnight on a Friday and Brennan Somers is on his way to a popular bar at the intersection of Cooper and Young with a few classmates from the University of Memphis.
The 20-somethings blend in easily with the rest of the establishment's patrons, but they manage to avoid the $5 cover charge with a few choice words:
"We're with MicroMemphis."
The students, who launched the "hyperlocal" news website as a journalism class project this semester, are gaining recognition in Midtown's Cooper-Young neighborhood that they cover. On that Friday, they were finishing up some homework -- an entertainment piece about the local deejay known as Quickie Mart -- before spring break.
The small class of six has created what will soon be a capstone course required of all journalism students as a new curriculum takes root in the department next fall.
Each semester, students will tackle a different Memphis neighborhood and produce original content for the Web, including stories, videos and photo slide shows, as well as aggregate relevant content from other local outlets.
Dr. Lurene Kelley, who teaches the class and acts as the website's editor, said she was thrilled with how the site, which she originally envisioned as a class project, has taken off.
"I've never had students so engaged. It floors me," she said.
Kelley pitched the project to the department chairman over Christmas break after brainstorming with colleagues about ways to get students hooked on beat reporting. The school, already transforming its curriculum in an attempt to keep up with industry changes, decided to take a chance with the hyperlocal news model.
The prefix "hyper" goes a long way in explaining the hyperlocal news concept; it's reporting that goes "above" or "beyond" local news. It's also called neighborhood and community journalism, and the idea is to get to stories that larger media organizations pass over and to specialize coverage according to ZIP code.
"You just can't know everything about a community," Kelley said. "There are so many new things to learn, so many stories that have never been told, and that's what makes it so exciting."
Kelley, who worked for more than a decade as a local television reporter before earning her master's and doctorate degrees at Memphis, said she views hyperlocal news as a supplement to traditional media.
When framing the course, she chose to mirror Patch.com. (Patch is a chain of hyperlocal news websites backed by AOL.) In fact, a regional editor for Patch, Holly Edgell, spoke to Kelley's students at the start of the semester.
"I talked about my strong feeling that community news should be about people as opposed to institutions," Edgell said in an e-mail. "I also talked about the importance of journalists living in or very near to the communities they cover, getting out of the newsroom, and really listening to people about what interests, entertains and worries them."
Four-year-old Patch is one of the longest-standing hyperlocal news ventures to date. AOL has hired more than 1,200 field reporters and launched about 800 websites across the country. Yet critics of community journalism claim the business model can't make money; the markets are necessarily small and online advertising revenue is notoriously weak. One high-profile hyperlocal start-up, TBD.com of Washington, crumbled in late February, less than a year after its launch.
Edgell said she expects Patch to push through the hardships that have flattened similar endeavors. Patch gained the power of AOL in 2009 and, more recently, the leadership of Arianna Huffington after AOL acquired the Huffington Post. In addition, the websites aren't tied to "legacy" media organizations; Patch reporters generate original content and local editors are given the freedom to determine the type of coverage a neighborhood gets, Edgell said.
"As far as the future, I think it's all about great content that people find meaningful, whatever the platform," she said.
MicroMemphis students seem to be taking Edgell's advice to heart. Rather than soak up the sun in Florida over spring break, 25-year-old Nielson Ferry opted to attend a neighborhood association meeting.
The topic?
"A lady from the Red Cross talked about disaster preparedness for you and your pet," the senior said. "With hyperlocal news, trivial stuff becomes less so."
MicroMemphis.com gets about 300 page views a day, and students take turns promoting the site and their stories on Twitter, getting an online nod of approval from Mayor A C Wharton on March 3.
"This isn't 'B-' or 'C-' work," said MicroMemphis reporter Louis Goggans, a print major. "If we keep it up, we'll probably all get A's."

Edwin J. Estenson
Aug. 30, 1930 - Feb. 11, 2012
Edwin J. Estenson passed into the arms of the Lord the morning of February 11, 2012, at home in Walla Walla, Washington. Mr. Estenson suffered with Mesothelioma for the past two years. Ed was born in Wolf Point, Montana on August 30, 1930 to Albert and Mabel Estenson. He was the eldest of five children. Mr. Estenson grew up on a farm on the plains of Eastern Montana.
He married Betty Jean Ferguson on October 23, 1954 in Cut Bank, Montana where he was working as a farm hand for his aunt and uncle.
Ed entered the Navy in 1948 serving on the USS Curtis AV-4 in post-war Japan, Korea and the South Pacific during atomic testing. He attended Bob Jones University, Montana State University; he continued his college education throughout his adult life. For many years, Mr. Estenson worked civil service Air Force before transferring to the Corps of Engineers in 1968 to work on Dworshak Dam in Idaho. In 1973, he transferred to the regional offices of the Corps in Walla Walla. Mr. Estenson was a detailed man who was instrumental in the Program and Planning office in Walla Walla.
Ed was an avid outdoors man and he loved hunting, fishing, camping. After his retirement in 1988, he pursued his lifetime dream of flying. In the early years of retirement, he built two RV4 aircraft in the family home and help many of his friends from Martin Field complete their planes. Mr. Estenson was a talented engineer who could do anything with his hands be it woodworking, or metal craft. One of his proudest moments was winning first place in a car show for the restoration of a 1961 Studebaker Silver Hawk.
Mr. Estenson had a strong sense of community; he frequently could be found helping neighbors and friends with projects. If you needed help all it took was a call to Ed.
Ed is survived by his wife, Betty, of 57 years; his children, Debbie Cadiente (Gary Carlson); Neil (Elaine) Estenson; Valerie Moore (Damon); Julie Baker (Rick Rinkenberger). He has 10 grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren; TJ Cadiente; Christopher and Mackenna Moore, Adam, Nick and Joshua Estenson, Megan and Chase Baker, Justin and Melissa Moore.

Wow! Here it is fall of '09! Did I enter all that stuff below in '08? Really?!

Wow! Here it is fall of '09! Did I enter all that stuff below in '08? Really?!

"Your Fitness Future Foretold: 20 Predictions for 2008"
Happy new year! This is the first issue in 2008 for
the www.burnthefat.com "fat burning tips" newsletter.
There are two things you can always count on:
(1) Nature's laws of cause and effect and
(2) human nature.
On that basis, here are my 20 fitness predictions for 2008:
I PREDICT that if you can reach into your pocket on any
day in 2008 and pull out a card or piece of paper with all
your body and fitness goals written on it in vivid detail,
the odds are 95 to 1 in favor of you achieving every
one of those goals before the year is out.
I PREDICT that if you focus your thoughts on your goals
and how you are going to achieve them, all day long, you
will reach your goals so fast this year, it will make your
head spin.
I PREDICT that if you focus your thoughts on health woes and body fat problems and if you think about what you don't want, all day long, your problems will get worse than ever this year.
I PREDICT that if you made a new year's resolution, but you didn't turn it into a specific, written goal with a deadline and a strong reason why you must achieve it, you will freely abandon it the moment the going gets tough.
I PREDICT that if you can tell me all the reasons why achieving your health and fitness goals are important to you, you will be motivated from within to stick with it when the going gets tough
I PREDICT that at times, the going is going to get tough.
I PREDICT that if you can tell me today what is your life's purpose and what is your lifelong vision for your body and your health, you will still be as motivated and driven at the end of the year as you were at the beginning.
I PREDICT that if you don't have long term goals and a
"big picture" vision for your life that you will lose your
New Year's enthusiasm and motivation in a matter of months or even weeks.
I PREDICT that the way you see yourself in your mind's eye today will be an exact reflection of what you see in the mirror at the end of the year.
I PREDICT that if you have a setback that seems to get
in the way of you reaching your health and fitness goals and you tell yourself "this just is temporary; this too shall pass," then it won't set you back and it will pass.
I PREDICT that if you believe the way your body looks today is out of your control and you feel helpless or powerless to change, you won't even make much of an effort this year.
I PREDICT that if you accept complete responsibility for the way your body looks today and you believe that you have the power to change, that you will take action and keep taking action, even through the tough times.
I PREDICT that if you're unhappy with your physical condition and you say,"it's not my fault" or you blame it on genetics, hormones or age, then your body will look pretty much the same at the end of 2008 as it did on New Year's day.
I PREDICT that the more you have patience, a long term
perspective and the ability to postpone immediate gratification, the more likely you are to be a success one year from now.
I PREDICT that the more you seek "miracle pills" or "quick fixes," the more likely you are to be a failure one year from now.
I PREDICT that you will be tempted by many quick fixes in 2008.
I PREDICT that if you hang out with losers and negative people this year, you will become just like them.
I PREDICT that if you hang out with winners and positive people this year, you will become just like them.
I PREDICT that you will run into more negative people and losers this year than positive people and winners.
I PREDICT that if you recruit just one friend or support partner that stands behind you and the lifestyle changes you want to make in 2008, you will double your chances for success. If you surround yourself with numerous support partners, you will become virtually unstoppable.
So how does your future look for 2008?
Based on my "predictions", if it doesn't look as bright as
you'd like it to be, then don't worry, because a prediction
is not predestination.
You can't do anything to change the past, but by changing your thoughts, attitudes and actions in the present moment, the future is yours to create.
Your friend and coach,
Tom Venuto

Apple WWDC 2009 dated
Apple fanboys have a new date in their calendar to look forward to after Apple has announced the dates for its Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco.
The conference will take place between the 8 - 12 June and expected topics include more details on the recently announced iPhone OS 3.0 and the company's new operating system Snow Leopard.
Apple has yet to say who will be giving the main keynote speech, however the dates coincide with the expected return of Apple's CEO Steve Jobs.
The 2008 Worldwide Developer Conference saw the launch of the iPhone 3G. Some commentators believe the company could launch a new version of the iPhone at the show this year.
We will keep you posted.

Which 149 is going to help me more than Stabile and a participating Grajales?
By the way if the draft shakes out a certain way for me I may be willing to trade you one of my 49's.
I'll know if I am by round 2 probably.
So long as you get him in before Friday evening, you're fine.
Well if I was LoSt, I would just try to sell you on the fact that each and every selection that I have made is a solid AA with a great chance at being a finalist. I will worry about the NCAA championship after I get back in the race...this is a worst to first run of epic proportions. Did you mean to list the Fantasy Discussion as 12/18-12-24 but put 12/12-12/18 or am I reading that wrong? If I get Morrill by today, can I get him in the line-up for this weekend?
Solid, but still very much lacking firepower
If I can pick up Morrill, here is where I make my run. I would be sending 7 to RTOC and hopefully getting Grajales and Steele back next semester. Go Gofer. I like my chances conference week with Morrill, Grey, Ciasulli/Rader, Stabile/Grajales, Sanderson, Galante/Onufer, Lee, Ward/Thomusseit, Beatty, Zabriskie/Steele.
Sanderson and Hall are basically comparable. And then Dake as one of my big sleepers is a guy I plan on holding on to unless someone blows me away with an offer.
I think I'm going to just roll through this week and see how the supplemental treats me.
I may be willing to trade Cathell or D'Alie depending on how things shake out.
Sanderson, Rader and the #2 overall pick for Dake and Hall? Obviously Rader is a throw away to keep the numbers right. Sanderson is a definite upgrade over Hall and Dake for a #2 overall probably allows you to Levi Jones or someone like that in your line-up. Let me know. Many irons in the fire this morning.
Made a run at offering Sanderson to Stiffy for Cannon OR Smith since he had Erisman. Thought for sure he would like that trade? I was hoping for Smith. If I got Smith I was going to turn and try to offer Askren to Grips for Gallick and let him swap supplemental picks with me so he could pick up Jones if he wanted him. Stiffy shut the door. I even offered to draft him Everhart if I got the chance. Nope. Crazy.
LOL...thats true...the only difference is that R.Payton is somewhat certifiable, I can live with that...LoSt is just an obnoxious prick that if he lived closer to me, wouldn't be seen without a black eye. I need to just turn it off though, although I won't let him just sit there and swear and call everyone idiots. At least BIG was an asshole but in an intelligent way.
I think they both do, personally.
Gotcha, sounds good. Thanks.
I think LoSt needs to get on his medication. He's pissing EVERYONE off. Its getting old. I know you know that but I think its worth weighing in on. I'm pretty close to writing off this year and I know that R.Payton is too. He sucks the fun out of it.
They both (I assume) went back and edited their line ups to what they had down before the trade.
What is the status of this weeks teams for ISU and LoSt since they both posted line-ups that assumed a trade. I would hope they both officially posted updated line-ups in time or else they would go back to their line-ups from the previous week right? I see they both posted Ellis and Drouin at one point.
I have no idea. He's apparently supposed to be.
I was talking about tournaments, you are right. I think this is moving day for Ellis....I have a couple of offers out for him right now. One to TLV who has the most to gain and one to LoSt. Is Steele coming back 2nd Semester?
What type of event are you talking about???????
If its a dual and you have both you get the points regardless.
If its the PSU Open or Midlands and you don't flex one of them you will have to specifically name who you want to score in your heavyweight slot.
If you decide you want to flex one of them for one or both of those tournaments you'll score points from each guy.
So I would have to start one and flex the other to guarantee the points? Thats what I am asking...I am going to try to give Ellis to TLV to lock in Bradley for him but I am working an angle to upgrade at 125 or 165. I am shooting the moon. Forget points, I am going to have to lock up playoffs at conferences this year it would seem.
To where? You'd get them automatically in duals, but in tournaments (Missouri has PSU Open, and Midlands left and both I would expect will be entered) you'd have to specify which one you would score.
Hypothetical situation...if I were to get Dom Bradley on my team and then start Ellis but Bradley went and wrestled, would I get his points either way or would I have to call it?

my red velvet cupcakes will make you melt
My family and friends will tell you I'm witty and sarcastic. My friends call me the uber thoughtful one in the group. I will remember everyone's birthday, send flowers/an Edible Arrangement when you need cheering up (who doesn't love chocolate and fruit??) or just tell you a ridiculous story if you need a good laugh (the things that have happened to me in life tend to make most people laugh, myself included). I'm independent and success-oriented but I also love to relax and enjoy life. You only live once,or so they say, so I'm making the most out of it :) All I seem to be missing is my partner in crime! I'm originally from Northern Virginia but I spent the past five years living in Manhattan. I moved back to the DC about a year ago so I'm getting back to my "roots." I still feel like I'm learning the DC ropes though since I haven't lived here since I was 18. I'm a foodie at heart so please share those hidden gem restaurants recommendations you've been keeping to yourself! I'm on a mission to visit all of the continents around the world, so far I've been to South America, Europe, Africa and Asia. I just went to Peru this past February and it was amazing. Where else can you go sandboarding across the dunes in a desert oasis and eat guinea pig? The guinea pig was delicious for the record, tastes like duck (not chicken). I love to cook but I promise not to cook you guinea pig. You're more likely to get pork tenderloin and risotto or something like that... When I lived in NY I was given the unofficial job of "team baker" at work. My co-workers actually told me on more than one occasion that I should quit my job and start a dessert truck and they all promised to be my best customers. I did end up quitting my job (to move to DC for a new one) but that dessert truck has yet to come to fruition. Although I've had one former co-worker offer to be my truck driver. Future career? Doubtful, but never say never! In the meantime, I promise to bake a mean red velvet cake! As for some other miscellaneous facts: I love driving stick, I give a great massage, I can drink whiskey like a pro and I love college sports and the NFL - go Redskins. The first things people usually notice about me is my height followed closely by my bright blue eyes. And yes my eye color is natural, no colored contacts here. Hopefully you're not intimidated by my height, I can't tell you how many people ask me for a few inches of it in a given week. And some of them are actually serious. Like I can actually give you a few inches? That's what heels are for lady... If you like what you've read then shoot me an e-mail and if you're lucky you might get a home cooked meal one night!

I like Dogs
Adopting a puppy is on my short-term to-do list. My parents also have two of the cutest, sweetest dogs you will ever meet. Pepper is the black lab in my pictures and Isabel is a rescue dog who looks like an even cuter version of the RCA dog.

convertibles, whiskey, dvr, concerts, driving stick, sangria (I spent my semester abroad in Spain perfecting the recipe...let's just say you won't be sober), skiing, dogs, the beach, sitting outside on a covered porch during a thunderstorm
Big sports fanatic, college basketball and football are my favorite. I love to cook and bake and my family/friends never complain when I'm the chef for a holiday/dinner party/football game watching party. If you can cook too I won't complain!

For a critique to have value it needs to reveal something new to the person receiving it. An experienced photographer, an artist in another field, an art historian, an ordinary person, or an innocent child could all reveal something new. But in all likelihood, the knowledgeable person is more likely to reveal something new because they have a greater breadth of experience to draw on.
You have chosen to critique my work on two grounds. Your first critique was an emotional statement that my pictures do nothing for you. Fine. I accept that. I've had worse comments from people (such as when a porn aggregator linked to my web site and I had 12,000 visitors in one weekend - not surprisingly they were mostly disappointed with the pictures I show - and some of them couldn't handle that disappointment very well).
But your second critique was about technique and process - you've talked about camera kit, lighting, backdrops, platinum printing, posing, composition, etc. I'm sorry, but if you're going to set yourself up as someone I should listen to about these things then you have to demonstrate you know something about the subject. If you cannot or will not do this then you are no better than those college lecturers you derided in one of your posts.
The internet is full of armchair critics who use critiques as a way to puff up their egos and tell everyone how fantastic and important they are. I am coming to the conclusion that you are one of these people.
It's time to put up or shut up, Richard.

Vuelta Stage 15: 'Home' win as Alexandre Geniez of FDJ takes solo victory in French Pyrenees
Spanish Grand Tour crossed border today to pay tribute to 100th Tour de France; Nibali retains overall lead
Previous News
Next News
On a day when the 68th edition of the Vuelta a Espana crossed the Pyrenees to celebrate this year's 100th edition of the Tour de France, it was a French rider on a French team - Alexandre Geniez of FDJ - who claimed victory on the summit finish at Peyragudes this afternoon, with his closest purrsuer just over 3 minutes behind.
Race leader Vincenzo Nibali of Astana finished 3 minutes 20 back, crossing the line in a group that included RadioShack-Leopard's Chris Horner, and leads the American in the overall standings by 50 seconds, with third-placed Alejandro Valverde of Movistar - winner of a Tour de France stage here last year - as further 52 seconds back.
Geniez, aged 25 and from Rodez, a couple of hundred kilometres north west of today's stage finish, got into a big break early on in today's 225km stage from Andorra, which included four big climbs, all Category 1, the first of those being the Coll del Canto.
Although early rain made some sections hazardous with roads not fully dried out, conditions were nowhere near as bad as they had been on yesterday's Stage 15 to Andorra, with Cannondale's Ivan Basso and Luis Leon Sanchez of Belkin both abandoning through hypothermia.
With more than 120km remaining to ride over the Port de la Bonargua and the Col du Port de Bales ahead of that final climb which also included the summit of the Col du Peyresourde followed by a sharp descent ahead of the final climb to Peyragudes, Geniez found himself in a group of six riders who had managed to break away from 19 other escapees.
On the Col du Port de Bales - scene of the infamous 'chaingate' incident involving yellow jersey Andy Schleck in 2010 - Geniez and Andre Cardoso of Caja Rural were alone in front, but it was the FDJ rider who managed to get away, riding flat out on the descent to maintain his advantage and take the biggest win of his career.
Alexandre Geniez wins Vuelta Stage 15 (© Unipublic/Graham Watson)
Following the stage, Geniez said: "My first pro win was at the 2011 Tour of Austria. It happened in similar conditions as today.
"Winning the queen stage of the Vuelta is something exceptional for me. I'd like to win more often but we, as climbers, don't have as many opportunities as the sprinters. It's great. I'll remember this moment all of my life."
Reflecting on how the day panned out, he refklected: "Firstly I want to position myself at the front for being useful to Thibaut Pinot in case of the group of the favorites would come across. But thirty riders never form a very organized peloton.
"I wanted to go as far as I could and only keep motivated riders with me. I didn't want anybody who was saving energy for later. A mountain stage victory must be well deserved. I hope I do. I gain a fair bit of time in the downhills. I hope this success will be followed by others."
Asked about his lacklustre start to the 2013 season, the Frenchman said: "At Paris-Nice and the Vuelta al Pais vasco, I suffered a lot from the bad weather. I've doubted about myself. Race after race, I found it hard to finish in a good state of form.
"I became confident again at the Dauphiné, which allowed me to get selected for the Tour. I've done okay at the Tour but as a team, we didn't get what we wanted for some reasons. I came out of the Tour tired but not exhausted.
"The staff offered me the possibility to ride the Vuelta, which was not on my provisional schedule. I thought about it for a few days and I accepted because the Vuelta is better than other races for my development. It was the right choice. However, there's one week left. It won't be easy. I'm going to chill out first," he added.

How often does LO eat? (Longish)
Comments (7)
Btw...on her previously mentioned schedule, she was gaining 1kg (about2.2 lbs). A month. I wasn't under feeding. She just knew and felt EXACTLY when she was going to eat (9, 12, 3, 6, 9...rarely a 6am feeding, but it was there if she wanted).
usually every 4 hours. and thats FF with rice in the bottle.
Proud wife of an oilfield man! 3.5.11
Sarcasm is my only language...
LO is EBF and averages about 5oz a feed. She nurses 6x a day like your LO was doing. At night, she sleeps from 9-830, Right now she's going through a sleep regression, so last night she was up at 11, 3, and 5. Then she woke up again for the day at 830, like normal. It's very tiring! I'm hoping she gets back on her schedule soon here. I've noticed when she wakes through the night, she wants to suck. Not a hungry suck, but a comfort suck. Last night, at 11 and 3, when she woke, I gave her a paci and held her like I do when she's nursing. It calmed her down and she went back to sleep. At 5am, I was dealing with ODS having a freak out, so DH took her and gave her a bit of pumped milk. She ate 2oz then went back to sleep.
Maybe when she's eating that often she's really just comfort sucking? If you use a paci, maybe try giving that to her and see if she'll be okay with just something to suck on and, if she is, then start to space her feedings out a bit until she's back on the every 4hrs schedule.

Terim wants positive Galatasaray
Galatsaray coach Fatih Terim said he hopes his side doesn't have to rely on other results to reach the Champions League knockout stages.
Sitting in second spot heading into their final Group H game away to Braga on Wednesday, Terim said his side must go for broke to ensure their progress, rather than relying on the already-qualified Manchester United to beat CFR Cluj.
Cluj and Galatasaray are both level on seven points in the group, but the Turks sit above their Romanian counterparts on head-to-head records in the battle for second spot.
Terim said they must attempt to go for the full three points at the Estadio AXA in Braga, or risk losing their place in the last 16.
"Any of the teams could have gone through in this group," Terim told reporters.
"Braga's team were one of the strongest in the group, but football is like that and you can't always get results. We know they have quality and strength, so it will be a good game.
"We want to get through and therefore our body and soul will be on the pitch. We don't care about other results, we just want to get a good result here."
Despite urging his team to focus on a win, Terim did concede playing Braga in Portugal would be a difficult task.
He added: "For me, the best option is to get through - that's the important thing, whatever the result.
"Tomorrow's match will be much more difficult than in Istanbul, because Braga are playing at home so they have no pressure and they're playing for pride."
Regardless of their position at the bottom of Group H, Braga coach Jose Peseiro said the clash against Galatasaray was a must-win game to show why the Portuguese giants deserved their place in the competition.
"This game is important in every sense, financial and sporting," Peseiro said.
"Since we have failed in our objectives in the Champions League, we have to be good tomorrow. We have to win and show we have the class to be in this competition.
"We've shown it many times, but we had bad luck this time, although part of that was our fault."
Peseiro insisted that the elimination of his side should not be cause for brooding over their situation, and believes that the allure of a Champions League game should be enough to motivate his players.
"We can't go into this game thinking about what we could have done or how sad we are - we have to win first, then we can think about it," he said.
"We have to enjoy playing this game, because it's a Champions League match. Galatasaray play the kind of football I like - attractive and positive, they like to dominate a match.
"In Turkey, we were forced to retreat more than normal because they started really strong and attacking, just like we do, and that's what we will do in this game."
