26:11 the poor. Care for the poor is commanded by God, but the commandment cannot have a higher priority than Jesus, the One sent by the Author of the commandment. Similarly, God commands honor of father and mother, but not above honor to Jesus (10:37; 15:4–6; 19:29).

As of Saturday, January 12, 2013
© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
LAWRENCEVILLE -- A local YMCA has named a new leader.
The J.M. Tull-Gwinnett YMCA on Sugarloaf Parkway in Lawrenceville recently named Kim Nelson as its new executive director. Nelson, who had served since 2007 as the associate executive director of a YMCA facility in Alpharetta, brings 12 years of professional experience to the job.
The Suwanee resident began her YMCA career in 2000 at the Ed Isakson-Alpharetta Family YMCA, as the children's services director. She was eventually promoted to the lead children's services director -- overseeing 24 after-school sites and year-round camp programs -- and then senior program director.
"My focus will be opening doors and opportunities for all," Nelson said in a news release. "We will continue to make a positive impact on children, teens, adults and local neighborhoods served by the Tull-Gwinnett YMCA."
Nelson received her bachelor's degree in psychology from Elon College in North Carolina. She is a former board member of the Rotary Club of North Fulton, a graduate of the "Leadership North Fulton" program and was a local school advisory committee business member.
She and her family have lived in Gwinnett for 15 years.

OECD unemployment rate climbs to 8.8 pc in Oct
London: The jobless rate in the OECD region
-- a grouping of developed and developing nations -- rose
marginally to 9.8 percent in October, indicating that the
labour market is yet to shrug off recession blues.
The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development
(OECD), comprising 30 countries including the US, Germany and
France, has been hit by the global financial turmoil.
In a statement today, OECD said the unemployment rate for
the area was 8.8 percent in October, 0.1 percentage point
higher than the previous month. In September, the same stood
at 8.7 percent.
Many of the OECD members had slipped into recession --
generally defined as two consecutive quarters of negative
economic growth.
The euro zone -- a grouping of 16 nations sharing the
common currency euro -- the jobless rate stood at 9.8 percent
in October. Euro area is also part of the OECD.
Japan saw an unemployment rate of 5.1 percent in
Millions of jobs have evaporated worldwide since the
financial crisis erupted in late 2008, as companies slashed
their workforce, mainly to cut down on costs.
Nonetheless, latest data showed that jobless rate slipped
to ten per cent in the US in November. In the previous month,
the unemployment rate had touched a 26-year-high of 10.2 percent.

Originally written on The Penalty Flag | Last updated 11/15/12
The week leading up to any Baltimore Ravens - Pittsburgh Steelers game is affectionately called Steelers week. All talk, text, and speculation concerns the Steelers. Everything else is secondary. The week-long celebration is a show of respect for the opponent and respect for a matchup that has become the best rivalry in football. "I think it's the best week of the year because it's where we feel our most comfortable probably," said Ravens head coach John Harbaugh. "You know it's a defining type of a rivalry. It means so much to both teams. So, we like being in this week, we love playing these guys, we love the preparation for these guys, so I'd say it's the best week of the year – both of them." Adding to the drama this week will be the status of injured quarterback Ben Roethlisberger who went down with a shoulder injury against the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday night.… Read more

Aerohive Networks (NYSE: HIVE), a leader in controller-less Wi-Fi and cloud-managed mobile networking for the enterprise market, today announced that Palm Beach County School District, has implemented Aerohive's wireless networking solution over the past year to support increased demands for classroom digital learning.
News Facts
• Established in 1909, the School District of Palm Beach County is the 11th largest in the nation and the fifth largest in the state of Florida with 185 schools and 13 ancillary facilities, serving more than 177,000 students.
• As the largest employer in Palm Beach County, the school district has nearly 21,000 employees, including over 12,000 teachers, as well as 39,000 volunteers. The District has an IT team of over 160 employees, with a smaller team dedicated to network architecture.
• The State of Florida mandated that all schools for grades K-12 change from paper textbooks to digital formats by the year 2015. This aggressive mandate required Palm Beach County to develop plans for a robust wireless network to support the increased demands for classroom digital learning.
• Prior to Aerohive, Palm Beach County School District's existing Wi-Fi network was limited in scope and coverage, and had limitations in throughput. The network was a controller-based environment and the growing expenses were no longer feasible, as the District looked to provide comprehensive wireless coverage.
• Palm Beach County School District sought a solution provider that could deliver a network to support a large number of devices, with frequent access to high definition audio and video and seamless scalability as the district expands its Wi-Fi activities.
• After a rigorous evaluation process, Palm Beach County School District selected Aerohive for its cost-effective network solution that met all of the district's requirements. The controller-less design also meant the district could easily expand, without "over-building" the network infrastructure.
• Aerohive's wireless solution currently supports 125,000 devices on the network, with that number growing as the district continues its roll out of 1:1 learning programs. These devices are used for classroom e-learning and to access digital textbooks. Palm Beach County School District has implemented over 13,000 Aerohive access points, both in schools and administrative locations.
• Since deploying Aerohive with 100 percent campus coverage, the district has been able to improve learning and instruction for students, as well as create greater efficiency for administration and staff.
• Aerohive's wireless network solution has enabled Palm Beach County School District to conduct online testing in both individual classrooms and testing centers (including gymnasiums and cafeterias); to host large-scale conferences and seminars; has provided access to hundreds of Internet-based applications and e-learning tools; and has provided a strong foundation for the district to meet state requirements for digital textbooks by 2015.
• Aerohive has also been key in blocking and limiting certain applications with its built-in application control and firewalling to help meet the conditions and requirements of the Child Internet Protection Act, a federal technology protection measure that requires K-12 schools to filter harmful content.
• Aerohive's HiveManager Online NMS allows centralized management of the entire network for the district. This, combined with a fully distributed system has provided ease of use, robust remote management and zero-touch installation. Local control and network survivability were key for the district's IT team, and Aerohive's plug-and-play solution eliminated many issues previously encountered.
• Palm Beach County School District's IT team anticipates an influx of wireless devices, estimated to double and triple in the near future. Aerohive has provided a network architecture to meet performance and security demands, with enterprise features that allow the district to meet its goals for complete digital learning.

"Aerohive has provided a near flawless network that has opened up a lot of doors for us, from being able to host large events requiring enterprise-class Wi-Fi, to centralized network management to enable district-wide customization for users, and enterprise features to better monitor and control our network," said the director of IT technical operations at Palm Beach County School District. "Aerohive has provided outstanding resources to enable us to architect a network that is secure, resilient and can scale to meet our needs for today and into the future."

McHale was clearly exasperated with his young team after the loss. They're so talented, it's a shame how costly these mistakes have been. But like Howard, he knows this team is young and still growing.
"Obviously, we all want to win now," Rockets general manager Daryl Morey told ESPN. "Our owner only cares about two things: his granddaughter and winning a title. Dwight is at that stage where there's nothing to accomplish but winning a title. I'm hungry; I'm in my eighth year and we've only advanced once. So while, logically, you know that younger teams that come together -- and we're the youngest team in the playoffs -- take longer to win. We logically get that, but we're all impatient emotionally."
Howard is doing his best to stifle that frustration. He took his time getting dressed after the game to collect his thoughts before sharing them publicly. He popped a stick of gum into his mouth as if to remind himself to hold his tongue. Negativity isn't what his teammates need right now. But they do need to find a sense of urgency or this is going to be over quickly.
"They don't understand it," Howard said, when asked if his teammates understand all that's at stake here. "But at the same time, that's why it takes [veteran] guys like Francisco [Garcia], Josh Powell, myself to let them know that nothing is promised.
"There's been guys that have been in the league for 15 years and didn't get a ring. It took Dirk [Nowitzki] to his 13th or 14th year to get a ring. So nothing's promised. You can't take any moment, any series, any team, any minute on the court for granted. You've got to go at it. That's the mindset. You've got to go at it and stay focused. We got to keep believing."
Howard's been saying that all year. But Howard is the Rockets' defensive captain, not their offensive leader. That falls to Harden, and it's clear they have yet to find their groove together on the offensive end. The chasm between Howard and Harden is even more striking when compared to the symmetry Portland's Damian Lillard and LaMarcus Aldridge have already found in their two years together.
On defense, the divide is even larger. Howard has been a monster defensively in this series. He's not quite back to his defensive player of the year form, but he's getting there. And he's clearly frustrated by the lack of consistency at that end outside of Omer Asik and Beverley.
But if there's one thing these past two years have taught him, it's that nothing goes as you plan for it to go.
His career was nearly ended by a back injury. He went to L.A. to play alongside three future Hall of Famers and got swept in the first round. He left $30 million on the table to sign with Houston to play with a younger superstar in Harden but might get bounced from these playoffs after just five games.
"All I want to do is win. I understand how important it is," Howard said. "But I also understand that it's never a given that you make it to the Finals.
"Nothing is promised in this league. You can't let years slip away."

Price Value Quality
I found the ordering process to be smooth, nice to get a choice of quantity on one page and the delivery was well communicated with excellent tracking information.
The product itself came well packaged and the use of several smaller bags makes sense with the nature of the salts wanting to absorb moisture I assume.
Top marks Justasoap!

Product Questions
Product QuestionsCan these Epson salts be taken orally? I took a delivery last week but can't find if they are safe to do so.
Thank youQuestion by: Lisa Gabriele on 7 Sep 2014 18:13:00Our understanding is that if you are looking to take Epsom Salts internally then you will need the Pharmaceutical grade which would be identified by the Ph Eur USP on the labelling. We only sell the FCC grade which is aimed at the bath market place. The different grading is due to the packaging so the packaging for a product aimed at the pharmaceutical market would have different requirements for a product aimed at the bath marketplace. If you are wanting Epsom Salts for internal use, it would be best to find the product in a Chemist/Pharmacy.Answer by: Josie (Admin) on 8 Sep 2014 09:11:00

28 year old woman | Belmont, CA, USA | Seeking men 24-35
Looking for that special someone...
I am single and have been for about 3 years now. I am tired of dating people that are really young so I am looking for someone around my age or older. I want someone who is funny and can make me laugh but at the same time has a serious side to them. I'm looking for someone who is smart and loves to do things that involve using the brain. I would also like someone who is a real family person as family is important to me. I want somebody really outgoing who is always ready for spontaneity and adventure.

Right when you walk into the gym at the Rec Center it is clear that there is a gender divide. Typically the men are towards the right in the free weight and bench press area, while the women are towards the left with the aerobic equipment and assisted weight machines. Unfortunately, it seems out of the norm when an individual of the opposite gender crosses over into that other section. This subtle move takes a lot of confidence and should be applauded!

Man hit in crosswalk Thursday in fair condition Friday
Police: Driver stopped to help, but was cited
CORPUS CHRISTI - A 77-year-old man who was hit in a crosswalk by a pickup Thursday was in intensive care Friday in fair condition, said Sherry Carr-Smith, spokeswoman for Christus Spohn Hospital Memorial.
The man was struck about 5:30 p.m. Thursday in the 3300 block of Alameda Street, police reported.
The impact flipped the man off his feet as he was steps away from reaching the curb, police said.
While other drivers didn't stop to help, the 76-year-old driver of the blue Chevrolet truck who struck the man, stopped to render aid, police said.
He was released by officers after being cited for failure to yield the right of way for a pedestrian in a crosswalk.

Quietly trendy
Par Irenka

A most useful pair to wear in almost any season. Fabric is lighter than I imagined but good quality. I think I will get a lot of use out of this pair. I do like the unusual colour arrangement, quite different from what I have. I am happy with the purchase.

Easy to look well dressed.
Par maggie
de newmarket, ontario
I came across this sweater set almost by accidentwhen 'browsing' on the TSC website & I'm so gladI did. I purchased the bronze/gold colour, whichgoes well with my black pants/skirts or my manyshades of 'camel' colour bottoms. The colours aresaturated & rich. And of course, as with all of Lennie's fashions, machine washable easy care.
Super set
Par Grandma Pauline
de Niagara Falls Ont.
This is the thid set I have purchased. I purchase one in the navy tones for myself and one in the gold and green tones for my daughter as a gift. I liked the gold one so much I bought one for myself. It can be dressy with a nice skirt or casual with slacks or jeans. As with all Lennie products it is well made.

GOLDEN Multi cardigan set

I bought Golden Multi cardigan set, it was my first buy from Nina Lenonard.I like the set. It is well made and fits very well.I washed it a few times and was surprise how well it washes. I washed it by hand and hanged it to dry.The only disappointment is the colour. I thought that it would be more golden, brighter. In reality it is subdued and bronzy.

Great outfit for a Christmas Get-togethe
Par Sweetie from Leamington
de Leamington, ON
As usual I was very pleased with my gold and black top when it arrived. I find this line of clothing really does fit so well, looks very attractive and is age appropriate - in this case to go to a dinnerget together with friends that I don't need a really"glitzy" number. The fact that it can be washed and not having dry cleaning bills to cope with is also a hit. Their garments travel well and do not take up a lot of room when packing and are so very versatile being able to combine them with other pieces you have in your wardrobe. All in all I was really pleased. A real hit for sure - Many thanks Lennie and keep them coming!

I think that V-neck cardigans such as this offer the best look. My only caveat is that the sleeves are way too long! That being said, it's a comfortable and lightweight piece.

People first
Filed under: Politics, The RSA
I spend a lot of time talking and reading about organisations and systems; why they don't work and how they could work better. Something has dawned on me which is both rather obvious and potentially powerful.
Why don't local public sector organisations collaborate effectively? Why isn't a large corporation able to inspire its employees to be more proactive? Why are large political parties such unattractive and unpopular institutions?
These problems require changes in the way organisations are led and structured. But if we start with the question of change at the top we are likely to end up advocating reforms based on what hierarchies can accept rather than what might be truly transformational to people's experience.
Here are a couple of examples, both broadly applying the adaptation of cultural theory laid out in my 2013 annual lecture. The Electoral Reform Society has published an interesting short pamphlet entitled 'Open up – the future of the political party'. Whist I agree with much of its analysis, I think it is guilty of viewing the problem of large parties through a structural/policy lens rather than thinking more deeply about people and what motivates them. An alternative starting point might ask why, apart from career ambition, someone would engage in party political activity. The answer might be threefold; people join political parties to contribute to making the world a better place, to learn and develop as a person and to have fun.
From this starting point it is pretty obvious why party membership and local activism have declined while background levels of volunteering and community activism have remained constant or risen. Going to a local constituency meeting of the Conservative or Labour party is generally not much fun, offers few opportunities for personal development (unless you want to get fit by pounding streets on a leaflet delivery run) and provides only a very attenuated sense of making the world better (although this feels a little more real at election time).
Contrast this with 'Good for Nothing', a rapidly growing initiative based on people self-organising into groups which hold 'gigs' to develop innovative ideas to improve their local communities. This video is all about fun, personal development and immediate impact.
So rather than the ERS's broad injunction to parties to 'be more open' it might be more productive to ask; 'how can political parties become organisations that offer local members fun, personal growth and social impact?'. The answer, of course, is that they would have to change out of all recognition.
A private corporation I recently addressed were also thinking in broad terms about how to become more creative and entrepreneurial. But the only method they seemed to employ was top down exhortation. A key question was; 'how can we persuade our consultants to use their relationships not only to focus on their areas of expertise but to open up a wider offer to their clients?' I suggested a focus on core human motivations could be a fruitful starting point.
There are three reason the consultants might go the extra mile; because they understand and appreciate this is part of the organisation's strategy (hierarchical motivation), because they believe in their company and colleagues and the value they can bring to clients (solidaristic motivation) and because there is recognition and reward for those who take initiative (individualist motivation).
Whilst companies might conventionally order people to change or offer financial incentives, the trick is to tap into all three human motivation systems while not letting one crowd out the others. If incentives are too individualistic people may end up gaming or exploiting the system, if the encouragement is too hierarchical personal buy-in and creativity may erode, if the motivation is only solidaristic people may do what they think is right or good for their team but not necessarily in a way compatible with the needs of the whole organisation.
If we start our exploration of organisational change with a balanced and evidence-based model of motivation (albeit one that becomes more complex the closer we look at it) we can develop a richer, and often much more radical, account of how the organisation has to change to foster the behaviours it wants. Jos de Blok created the amazing Buurtzorg organisation in part because he could see a narrow focus on hierarchical and individualistic motivation had made care giving and care receiving joyless.
Similarly, as I have argued in other recent posts, we need to dismantle the high barriers to public sector collaboration by thinking in human terms first and structural terms second.
I realise that much of this may seem blindingly obvious, but behind it lies a simple principle derived from the RSA's Power to Create way of thinking. Let's start all our conversations about organisational change with the question; how can we enable people to most fully express their creative potential?
Save politics – write your own manifesto
Filed under: Politics
If we want politics to change, let's make the first move ourselves.
My last post highlighted the difference between what political parties say and what voters think those parties will do in office…..
…..voters may end up opting for the party with the plan they least like (the Conservatives) because they think this party is more likely to end up implementing the plan they most like than the party actually promising that plan (Labour).
However, when it comes to political disorientation this pales into ordinariness compared to this Newsnight interview with UKIP MP Douglas Carswell. The highlights of the interview include:
- A positive assessment of the multi-cultural, multi-national nature of modern Britain
- The assertion that what people disparagingly call political correctness is generally simply politeness
- Warm words about the UK Muslim community
- A commitment to give the NHS whatever resources it needs to defend its founding principles
- An emphasis on the need for a politics of optimism and hope
Of course, the demand for a speedy EU referendum is there too, but overall one is left with two big questions – how can the two most high profile people in a party (Mr Carswell and Mr Farage) offer such contrasting images and to what extent are Mr Carswell's views in line with that of his party's core supporters? It feels a bit like having Ken Livingstone as the leader and Peter Mandelson as chief spokesperson, or perhaps Bill Cash as leader and Kenneth Clarke as the spokesperson.
This is all part of the tapestry of representative democracy but it also helps to explain the depth of public cynicism. In a world where an ever greater premium is placed on authenticity, the opacity and trickiness of our politics stands out even more. Another dimension of unreality lies in policy making; as the world has become more complex, fast moving and unpredictable the parties have – in a desperate and forlorn attempt to retain public trust – become more extensive and more specific in their promises.
In terms of fiscal policy, politicians have tried to close the credibility gap with ever more ingenious ways of pretending their hands are tied. We have had public pledges, Golden Rules, an independent Bank of England, the OBR and even last week's fiscal responsibility legislation, yet still politicians fail to deliver. Perhaps they need to take the principle and make it more populist: 'Ed Balls pledged today that if Labour's misses its fiscal target, he will volunteer for I'm a celebrity, get me out of here with his fee going to help the squeezed middle'.
But moaning about politics is one thing, it is another entirely to do anything about it. After all one of the main reasons politicians aren't straight with us is that we don't talk sense to them. As Ben Page from IPSOS MORI famously said: 'the British people are very clear about what they want: Swedish welfare on American tax rates'.
So I thought I'd offer a way forward. How about if we the voters were to define our own policy priorities? I don't mean simply the top-of-the-head prejudices people tend to offer opinion pollsters. Neither do I mean broad values or aspirations, as everyone signs up to fairness, freedom and hard working families. I also think we should steer clear of single issue policies (like hunting, hanging or assisted dying) because that's not what general elections are really about.
Instead my suggestion is that we all decide our top three broad policy priorities along with one currently on offer that we most strongly oppose.
I haven't thought about this for long enough to give my definitive list but here goes as a conversation starter:
- Substantially improving the prospects of the least advantaged third of children to be top education priority
- Tax well off old people to improve social care
- An irreversible shift of power from Whitehall to city regions.
And my number one anti-priority:
- An in-out EU referendum.
My own list is not the issue. The point is that if we each had such a list it might force us to be clearer and more thoughtful about what we want. It would offer an invaluable shared starting point for political conversations between friends or strangers, and enable us to be more focussed and forensic in weighing up what the parties are offering. It might even give politicians the courage to stop trying to be all things to all people and say 'if that's really what you want, you shouldn't vote for me'.
I am not sure whether we really do want more clarity or candour from our politicians, or a more informed and honest debate. Perhaps we just enjoy complaining. But if we do want change we should stop waiting for politicians and step up ourselves. 'My mini manifesto' could be a start.
Vote Osborne get Balls?
Filed under: Politics, Public policy
Elections should be about which political party is offering the best plan for Britain. The truth is more complex and less edifying.
A few years ago a detailed historical analysis of the outcome of close elections between right of centre and left of centre parties offered an explanation of why the right tends to win. Surveying swing voters the researchers focussed not on the party's policies but the voters' perception of the risks associated with Governments not delivering their promised plan. The risk of right of centre parties failing to deliver was seen as cuts in public services and greater social division while the risk of left of centre parties not delivering was higher taxes and economic frailty. While many voters worry about the former, more worry personally about the latter. Thus the greater perceived risk of a left of centre party failing in office leads key voters to opt for the lesser risk of a right of centre party failing.
This analysis (annoyingly, I can't find the reference) is highly salient to the coming election. For not only is it looking close and not only is there a substantial difference in fiscal policy, but our disenchanted electorate is inclined to believe that whoever wins will renege on their promises. Which takes us to the paradox that may yet determine the outcome in May.
When George Osborne published his eye watering fiscal plan in the autumn statement I was among many who felt it was not only disingenuous but politically misguided. Few serious economists think Mr Osborne can stick to his plan. Unless there is a serious uptick in the European economy such an intensification of the fiscal squeeze would be likely to reduce growth and thus be counter-productive. Also, as outgoing civil service chief Sir Bob Kerslake among others has argued, the proposed level of cuts is probably undeliverable; essential services would start to collapse. Furthermore polling is beginning to suggest that voters are becoming austerity-weary and don't see tax cuts as realistic. The proposal that we not only have five more years of deep cuts but an extra dollop in order to fund a tax giveaway is surely electorally unwise.
In contrast Labour's plan, while tough to deliver, looks more realistic. It is true, as the IFS said this week, that only closing the revenue deficit by 2020 is risky giving the possibility of a downswing in the economic cycle, but we are where we are and there is no realistic policy that would survive such a scenario intact.
In reality, both Balls and Osborne are resting their hopes not on their published forecasts and plans but on long awaited signs that economic growth is generating a fiscal dividend (the most important single data point between now and the election will be the Treasury tax take for January). All other things being equal, the Balls plan looks more growth-friendly than the Osborne plan.
On this basis many analysts assume that a Conservative election victory in 2015 will see a continuation of the last five years in which targets are continually missed and the deficit is cut much more slowly than the plan. In other words, if you vote for Osborne's plan many experts think you will get something closer to Balls'.
Surely this means Labour's economic and political strategy is stronger? Here lies the paradox. If the historical analysis is borne out, when the election is close and the voters assume no one will deliver their promises the key question is 'which party's risk of failure is more worrying?'. The answer to this favours the Conservatives. For while the likely risk of Osborne failing to meet his targets is that we end up with something like the Balls plan (the voters' favoured option), the risk of Balls failing could be a fiscal crisis which could only be alleviated by substantial tax increases.
So (and I suggest you read this slowly), voters may end up opting for the party with the plan they least like because they think this party is more likely to end up implementing the plan they most like than the party actually promising the plan they most like.
The only answer for Labour is to double up on its promise of fiscal rectitude. Unfortunately for the opposition the kitbag of devices to do this is already pretty much empty. We have had written pledges, Golden Rules, an independent Bank of England, the OBR and even this week fiscal responsibility legislation, yet still politicians fail to deliver. All Miliband's team can do is to bang home their commitment day in day out, explicitly saying that if growth goes off track it will be services not taxpayers that will be squeezed. But this would require a conviction and message discipline across the whole Labour frontbench which has thus far been absent.
For a political scientists it is fascinating to see whether the historical tendency for perceived risk to determine outcomes in close contests is borne out. For those of us who wish elections were fought on the basis of rational policies and authentic debate it is all rather depressing.
Could Dave Smashey and Ed Nicey please play some new tunes?
Filed under: Politics
The world is full of ironies – perhaps the election campaign will be enlightening after all.
The closing chapter of the election story has begun but with four months until we reach the denouement, most of the audience is already transfixed with boredom. It is like a cycle pursuit race where the competitors go round and round zigzagging the track to little effect, looking nervously over their shoulders, while most of us take little or no interest until the final dash for the line.
Yet in Monday's entirely predictable, largely pointless, activities there were reasons to think things might have to change. It is unlikely media and public opinion will tolerate another 13 weeks of dodgy dossiers, glib posters, crude caricatures and windy rhetoric. Like a pair of middle aged DJs, the Parties on Monday tried out their favourite hits and instead of being greeted by a jostling dance floor of excited journalists, their tunes were drowned out by a collective public groan. We want to hear fewer golden oldies and more new material.
Indeed, as the two big parties search for the crucial, elusive, two or three extra percentage points of voters they need, they may have reason, even at this late stage, to revise their strategy.
In any complex, dynamic contest the success of a move by one side depends on the scope of the other side to respond. In essence the Conservative pitch for 2015 was wholly predictable from the day after the Coalition was formed in 2010 with an extra ingredient added by the election of a new Labour leader: 'Britain's on the road to recovery, don't let the people who created the mess get back in to office, especially as they are led by someone not up to the job'. The Conservatives still believe sooner or later this message will work for them.
There are two problems. First, while this message may damage Labour, it hasn't so far done anything to get the Conservatives through the reinforced glass ceiling of 32 percent voter support. Second, Labour has had a lot of time to prepare its response. Ed Miliband's performance on Monday was little more than competent and Labour's policies still don't add up, but Labour's leader was at his most effective when attacking that core Conservative message as being both complacent and negative. If this attack sticks and Conservative spokespeople find that any talk of recovery is seen as evidence of being out of touch, the Tories might find it difficult to learn another tune in time for it to be heard by May.
Because Labour's message has been far less consistent they may have more scope to develop it further. In writing a few days ago about appealing to the centre ground it seemed that Ed Balls might be signalling a change of strategy. But Miliband's core message remains the same, reflecting his own convictions: 'the fundamental problem for Britain is inequality and the key task for Government is to redistribute power and wealth from the few to the many'. Miliband sees most of society as the oppressed; recall how the underlying theme in all the case studies with which he dotted his 2014 conference speech was that – in the end – everyone, apart from Tories and fat cats, is a victim.
Of course, inequality is big social and economic problem for Britain and not just for those at the bottom, but, as Danny Finkelstein writes this morning, the Labour message has its own problems. On the one hand, most people – however hard their lives – do not see themselves as victims whose problems are fundamentally a function of the success of others. Second, if redistribution is the biggest priority, it demands extending the size and power of the redistributing agency – namely the central state; not a prospect that attracts many voters beyond committed social democrats.
In short both major parties are stuck with messages which are failing to reach out beyond their core constituencies. Right now they are adopting the response to not being understood of the Englishman abroad – waving their arms and shouting.
When we think about organisations – like political parties – it is often as lumbering beasts with a single mind to make up. In fact in the highest councils of these bodies there is usually a small group with different views vying for attention. In this group there will tend to be someone who consistently argues for a different, more experimental approach. When I was briefly involved in the campaign centre I tended to be this voice suggesting, for example, being more authentic and discursive, less predictable and adversarial. I was nearly always ignored and – I suspect – nearly always wrong.
But as the parties see the disdain with which their New Year campaign launches were received and as the polling returns once more confirm the limited appeal of their message beyond the already decided, maybe the voices calling for something different might start to get a fuller hearing. Those of us who would like an election campaign that goes beyond cynical pantomime can only hope so.
The path to transformation: 'Help'
Filed under: Public policy
If we want to survive austerity, let alone improve places and lives, we must attend to the human dimensions of public service leadership.
During 2014 I have attended, chaired, or spoken at, countless meetings on public service reform strategy. Yet two of the most powerful examples of the possibilities of reform were spontaneous and personal.
The first was in a working group on reducing unemployment in an inner London borough. As facilitator of the group, I had insisted at an earlier meeting that the local providers of the Work Programme be invited to join our deliberations. This was rather against the instinct of the local authority whose members had a tendency to see the providers as untrustworthy and unhelpful private sector profiteers.
With the meeting trundling on and the various agencies staying within their comfort zones, out of sheer frustration I tried something new. I invited everyone in the room to speak directly to another person: 'Tell them', I suggested, 'something they could do differently which would help you do your job of tackling unemployment'. After an uncomfortable silence it was one of the Work Programme providers who piped up. She described how several of her customers had received advice from the council's welfare rights team and, as a consequence, had been able to secure a bit more money or to avoid having to join the Programme. 'It's not that I don't want them to exercise their rights or get their entitlements', she said 'it's just there doesn't seem to be any message about the value of trying to get a job'.
All eyes turned to the rather fierce senior council officer. Her reply was powerful, something along the lines of 'You are absolutely right. I am really glad you've raised it. I am going to go back and look at how we can change the remit of the team and the job descriptions of staff to put a much stronger emphasis on promoting routes to work'. This brief interaction released the whole room to start being a lot more open about their frustrations and aspirations. At last we started to move beyond the lazy, generic bleating about things 'not joining up' or 'everyone working in silos' into concrete issues, requests and commitments.
Then earlier this week I was invited to speak to and facilitate a meeting of the Essex Partnership Board (made up of public and voluntary sector agencies from across the county), chaired by the very direct and thoughtful council leader David Finch. In the first part of the meeting I spoke about collective impact methodologies; identifying a shared mission, agreeing key metrics, sharing out clearly differentiated roles and responsibilities, committing to high levels of communication and having a backbone organisation to hold the process together and maintain momentum. Everyone seemed keen, although perhaps more in principle than practice.
Then something startling happened. A leading officer of a local NHS Clinical Commissioning Group premised his/her comments (I have to be careful here as telling the truth about the growing winter crisis can be a career-ending move in the NHS) by describing the week he/she is having. In essence with norovirus on the move and flu figures starting to rise, the NHS is already at breaking point with long and growing waits for ambulances and in A and E, and a chronic shortage of staff and beds. One consequence is frail people being discharged to return to empty homes at midnight.
The officer was about to move on to the presentation when I merely expressed the palpable mood in the room: 'how can we talk about the ambitious, collaborative principles of collective impact and then not apply them in the face of a challenge like this?'
Within a few minutes the CCG manager was surrounded by a gaggle of fellow leaders discussing what they could all do to help. One promised to co-ordinate a communication to all their staff about getting the flu jab and looking after the health of family and neighbours, while someone from the voluntary sector committed to directing more volunteers to A and E departments to accompany people home when they are discharged at night. The room was full of energy as the managers were powerfully reminded of the very reason they joined the public and voluntary sector in the first place.
Public service reform can often seem like a very dry and technocratic process. Of course, it is important to be systematic, to prioritise, to apply the best evidence of what works etc but, as I argued in a recent post, if our aim really is transformation (anything less will mean a declining public sphere) we will also need a different quality of leadership: seeing the whole system, creating genuine conversation and moving from reaction to co-creation.
Even beyond that there is, it seems, a vital emotional dimension. We live in a world of competition, public relations and 24 hour media; a world where expressing fear or vulnerability as a leader can feel very dangerous. In this world the most powerful way to turn a group of people guarding their organisations into a team passionately committed to shared action isn't offering help, but asking for it.

Since the move to the store, a lot of sets are missing some of their promos. I noticed just now while browsing Faber Inc.'s store that the majority of his products have only their cover promo. I noticed Modern Muse Esmeraude by Surreality has the same problem. This is really awkward, because I'm not terribly likely to buy a product based on only one image, especially since the cover promo is usually the most artistic and, well, the least promotional. It might be helpful if DAZ fixed this before more PAs suffer from it? If DAZ doesn't get to this in time, PAs, it might be useful to re-post some of the promos from your products with missing promos. :/

What Developers Should Care About in 2013!
At the inaugural DevIntersection conference in Las Vegas, Carl and Richard hosted a panel to discuss what developers should care about in 2013. The panel of Scott Allen, Kate Gregory, Michele Leroux Bustamante and Woody Pewitt covered a huge spectrum of topics, including web development, client development on multiple platforms, cloud technologies and mobile development. Did we cover everything? Write comments below!
Scott Allen is the founder of OdeToCode.com and a Pluralsight author who lives in Western Maryland on the east coast of the United States. Scott has over 20 years of commercial software development experience, and currently works closely with Medisolv building software applications for hospitals.
Michele Leroux Bustamante is Managing Partner at Solliance (solliance.net), cofounder of Snapboard (snapboard.com), and is recognized as a Microsoft Regional Director and MVP. Michele is a thought leader with over 20 years speclializing in building scalable and secure end-to-end system design, identity and access management, and cloud computing technologies - for companies of all sizes. Michele shares her experiences through presentations and keynotes all over the world, and has been publishing regularly in technology journals. Michele wrote the best-selling book "Learning WCF" (O'Reilly 2007). Visit her blog at michelebusta.com. @michelebusta
Kate Gregory has been using C++ since before Microsoft had a C++ compiler, and has been paid to program since 1979. She loves C++ and believes that software should make our lives easier. That includes making the lives of developers easier! She'll stay up late arguing about deterministic destruction or how C++ 11 is not the C++ you remember.
Kate runs a small consulting firm in rural Ontario and provides mentoring and management consultant services, as well as writing code every week. She has spoken all over the world, written over a dozen books, and helped thousands of developers to be better at what they do. Kate is a Microsoft Regional Director, a Visual C++ MVP, an Imagine Cup judge and mentor, and an active contributor to StackOverflow and other StackExchange sites. She develops courses for Pluralsight, primarily on C++ and Visual Studio. In 2014 she was Open Content Chair for CppCon, the largest C++ conference ever held, where she also delivered sessions.
Woody Pewitt has held about every job related to software development - from developer, product manager, to director, and many more in between. What he really enjoys is using cutting edge technologies to make software that wows users, and then sharing the story of how it was built. Woody works as an Developer Advocate at Telerik, an agile international software company, which builds tools for software developers and development teams, including Icenium, a cross-platform mobile development tool.

Unsharp masking?
Hi. I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but anyway...
I've seen that many concept artworks or speedpaintings have clear and very sharp edges and lines. I think you know what I mean, if you don't, see this one - http://andreewallin.deviantart.com/a...angar-92442718 - for example. And I'm wondering how is this done. Because it looks like some kind of unsharp masking and the same is almost on every speedpainting...
So I'd like to ask - how is this made? Is it really unsharp mask, or some tricks with Photoshop brushes? Or something else?
Thanks in advance :-)

I'm pretty sure that it's a sharpening filter applied at the end.
You could do it by using some dual-brush technique, but it's better to just apply a filter imo.

Black and white inked comic style
Hiya gang =)
I love black and white inked comics, and lately I've been trying to figure out how to do out that style myself. I did this piece over two days, and while I was trying to go for a real gritty black and white bar scene, it still feels..unfinished. I'm not sure what it is, but it just seems to be missing something, or not gritty enough, or the black and white mix is wrong, or the composition looks wrong...something needs fixing but I don't know what.
SO! Here's my WIP so far. I'm open to any suggestions on what to improved before I say game over and call it done since it's probably full of noobie mistakes I can't see, so any suggestions would be very much appreciated

hmmm. Looks to me like the figure could use some foreshortening in his arms, and the proportions look a bit off. I like the mood of the work so far.
My sketchbook is here
May 28th, 2008 #3
The proportions seem off to me too, his left arm is too skinny and the glass is too small.
I can see what you were trying to do with the blinds but the cracks on the far right make it look like the room is a strange shape. Try spreading them out a bit or just having the holes in the blinds.
The lighting is obviously coming from a light above him but it might be cool to change it so that light is off and there's only light from the window in the picture. Then again, i suck at lighting and shading so don't go and ruin the picture because of me.
I like the textures on the table and the seat and the character's pretty well drawn keep it up!

Originally written on Section 303 | Last updated 1/18/12
Nashville, Tenn. (January 18, 2012) – Nashville Predators President of Hockey Operations/General Manager David Poile announced today that the club has reassigned forward Chris Mueller (KRIHS MEW-luhr) to Milwaukee (AHL). Mueller, 25 (3/6/86), suited up for two games during his four-day recall, going pointless. He returns to Milwaukee where he leads the team in points (15g-11a-26pts) and goals, playing in 33 of the Admirals 36 games in 2011-12. The West Seneca, N.Y., native is slated to appear in the 2012 AHL All-Star Classic in Atlantic City, N.J., on Jan. 29-30. The Predators look to finish up their current three-game road trip with a win against the division-rival Columbus Blue Jackets tomorrow night at 6 p.m. (FS-TN, 102.5 The Game) before returning home on Saturday to take on the Chicago Blackhawks in a McDonald's Family 4 Pack matchup (7 p.m., FS-TN, 102.5 The Game). With Saturday's contest, the Predators look to attain their 15th sellout on the year, just one shy of the number...

DPS gunboats prepare to patrol border waters
Heavily armed boats imposing new presence on Rio Grande
MISSION, Texas - The Rio Grande that borders Anzalduas Park and the upper Rio Grande Valley has long been considered a favorite staging area for drug smugglers.
Lt. Charlie Goble said the state's new Tactical Marine Unit hopes to help change that.
As a preview of what's to come, the Texas Department of Public Safety put two fast-moving gun boats in the water, with imposing .30-caliber machines guns and a crew of six heavily armed DPS troopers, scanning the U.S. and Mexican sides of the river.
All was quiet on that particular day, but over the last three years, DPS reports at least 65 "splashdowns" where smugglers being pursued by U.S. law enforcement on land, ditch their stolen trucks in the Rio Grande.
Lt. Charlie Goble said by then, others on the Mexican side have rafts at the ready.
"They will come over here and recover all the narcotics they can recover and go right back," Goble, who commands the Tactical Marine Unit, said. "That is why we're here."
He said the boats will try to intercept the smugglers and their illegal cargo before they get to the Mexican side of the Rio Grande.
Asked whether DPS had seen a drop in activity yet, Goble said it is too soon to say.
But he said scouts on the Mexican side no doubt have already seen or heard about the boats.
Once fully operational by the end of the year, Goble said six vessels will travel the Rio Grande, international lakes at Falcon and Amistad Dams that border Mexico, as well as the Texas intra-coastal waterways.
He said DPS will join other agencies patrolling the waters such as Texas Parks and Wildlife, U.S Customs and Border Protection and U.S. Border Patrol.
Goble said the fully armored boats have the latest technology, including night vision. He said the powerful guns on board send a message to smugglers. "We hope so. That is our intention," Goble said.
In June last year, Texas Rangers and other officers returned fire after they allegedly were shot at by several smugglers on the Mexican side.
Goble said his troopers would prefer not to use their weapons, "but we are prepared to use them if we have to."
He said the boats go up to 60 mph with 900 horsepower from three engines, but also have a "nearly silent stealth mode" to avoid detection.
Goble also said the boats can operate in as little as two feet of water, but the usually depth varies from 15 to 30 feet.
The DPS lieutenant said the $585,000 cost of each boat was paid with state and federal funds.
He said, "The payoff we hope to achieve is to deter criminal activity in this part of the river."
Even if that happens, Goble said the patrols will continue wherever the smugglers go next. He said, "We're extremely mobile. We'll move with them."
