Marian Wang: The U.S. Treasury still holds a stake in Chrysler that it intends to sell, and an Obama administration official has said that the government doesn't expect to fully recover about $1.9 billion in remaining investments.
Specifically, What Should Be Done for Jobs?
It would be hard to get a new stimulus package through Congress, but no member who's up for reelection next year when unemployment is likely to be in double digits wants to be accused by rivals of voting against steps to help small businesses, public schools, childrens' health, and average working people who need a tax cut.

Susquehanna University to Host Annual Christmas Candlelight Service
Published on November 26, 2012
Susquehanna University will hold its annual Christmas Candlelight Service Dec. 4 at 7:30 p.m. in Weber Chapel Auditorium. This year, the theme is "And Heaven and Nature Sing."
Each year, Susquehanna students, faculty and staff members join with the Selinsgrove community to celebrate the Christmas holiday with traditional readings and candle lighting. During the candle lighting ceremony, University President L. Jay Lemons will read the prologue to John's Gospel, an annual tradition.
The University Choir, University Chorale, Festival Chorus and Chamber Singers will provide traditional music and carols under the supervision of Associate Professor of Music Julia Thorn and Assistant Professor of Music Colin Armstrong. Additionally, Marcos Krieger, assistant professor of music and university organist, will provide musical leadership alongside the university's Brass Ensemble and Handbell Choir.
The Rev. Mark Wm. Radecke, university chaplain, will preside over the service, with Dan Powell, pastor of Selinsgrove's Saint Pius X Church, serving as assistant minister.
"Since its founding, Susquehanna University has been and continues to be affiliated with the Lutheran church," Radecke said. "The rich tradition of the Christmas Candlelight Service is one way the university celebrates that heritage and ongoing relationship. I consider it a privilege to serve as steward of that tradition. Candlelight, carols, and choral and instrumental music combine with readings, proclamation and prayer to create a night of worshipful beauty."
The candlelight service will be broadcast live by the university radio station, WQSU (88.9 FM).
Susquehanna will offer shuttle services to and from Weber Chapel and designated parking lots on campus that evening. Signage will direct people to parking lots and shuttle stops. In addition, Weber Way will be designated as a one-way street for the evening, with traffic flowing from University Avenue, on the east side of the chapel, through the parking area between Weber Chapel and the Charles B. Degenstein Campus Center, and exiting via 18th Street or the back of campus.
Carriage rides from West Village residence halls and the James W. Garrett Sports Complex will be offered from 7 to 10 p.m. for individuals interested in attending Selinsgrove's Late Shopper's Night, which coincides with the Christmas Candlelight Service.

1 cup
1 teaspoon
dried savory
1 teaspoon
dried parsley
1 pinch
crushed red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon
chicken bouillon granules
1/2 cup
pearl (Israeli) couscous
lemon, zest grated
1/2 cup
toasted slivered almonds
1/2 cup
chopped celery
1/3 cup
chopped onion
tomato, seeded and chopped
1 tablespoon
olive oil
salt and black pepper to taste
Wow, this is FABULOUS! I've had this recipe sitting around for a while because I had difficulty finding savory (finally located it at Fresh Market). First time ever cooking pearl (Israeli) couscous which is totally different from regular couscous. Even my DH who's not a couscous lover liked this. I was a little concerned that 1/2 cup almonds was going to be too much, but I was wrong. The flavors really develop after chilling, so allow time for that. Please do yourself a favor, and don't change anything the first time you make this because IMO this recipe is perfect the way it's written. This is going into my Favorites folder.

This is a great recipe! I accidently misread it, and added in the celery, onions while the couscous was cooking, but it ended up great! The onions were sauteed with red peppers and the inside of a squash (left over veggies). Turned out great, def recommend!
Fantastic! This is such an unexpected, intriguing, and delicious blend of flavors and textures. I doubled this recipe and served it to 4.5 people (grandmother's a light eater) alongside grilled swordfish steaks and zucchini/summer squash -- so good on a warm evening!
Absolutely one of the best sides I've ever had. I can't wait to make this again!
I served this as a side dish for Thanksgiving and it was a hit! Instead of bouillon granules, I used a bit of chicken broth. I also served at room temperature. The spicy kick is a nice surprise and the as long as you dice your veggies well, the texture is exciting. Enjoy!
The family was split on this one but, since I liked it, I gave it four stars. I served it with grilled lemon chicken. It needs to go with something rather bland because of its strong flavor.
Not very good.

BDSM: It's Not What You Think!
About a year ago we had the pleasure of being asked to participate in a student film project being shot for a class at San Francisco State University. The film featured many important people in the local San Francisco BDSM community so we were very honored to be asked to participate. It was well received after it's initial class presentation and due to the positive response the filmmakers have expanded upon it and entered it into the Frameline International Film Festival where it will be having it's premier screening on Friday June 20th at 10pm at the Roxie Theater in San Francisco, CA!

Intel's new PCIe SSD 750 brings enterprise features to the client market April 3, 2015 at 8:21 am
Intel launched a new SSD family today with 400GB and 1.2TB capacities and next-generation interface technology.
Samsung's new 20nm DDR4 clears the way for massive 128GB DIMMs October 23, 2014 at 11:35 am
Samsung's new DDR4 memory is debuting on 20nm technology and targeting huge density improvements. The company claims it can build 128GB modules today — a far cry from DDR3's current maximum of just 32GB.
Intel Haswell-E review: The best consumer performance chip you can buy – with some caveats August 29, 2014 at 12:00 pm
Today, Intel is launching its long-awaited update and refresh of its top-end enthusiast platform: Haswell-E. It's a refresh that's been a long time coming — the old X79 chipset was long in the tooth 12 months ago, while the top-end six-core Ivy Bridge didn't overclock well and wasn't a huge improvement over the six-core Sandy Bridge. Will the new hardware put a fresh coat of paint on a lackluster lineup? Let's take a look.
Intel announces updated Haswell, eight-core enthusiast chips, and desktop Broadwell details March 20, 2014 at 2:41 pm
Intel is prepping a full suite of launches for 2014 and 2015 with Broadwell coming to desktop, eight-core Haswell-E workstation-class chips, and a new low-end Pentium with an unlocked multiplier.
Haswell-E to offer DDR4 support, up to eight cores in 2014 June 17, 2013 at 1:31 pm
Details on Intel's 2014 Haswell-E platform have leaked. They point to a DDR4-equipped system with eight cores — a significant step up from the Sandy Bridge six-core systems we have currently.
Intel launches Ivy Bridge Celeron and Pentium chips, signals total confidence at 22nm January 22, 2013 at 6:18 am

to educate, inspire and equip the urban homesteader
Sometimes I eat too…
It's true that I've been yapping about preserving the harvest, blah, blah, blah, but sometimes you just want to eat the stuff. Berries are in season now and, yes, it's good to put some away for the winter when you'll really miss them, but we shouldn't forget to stuff some in our mouths now while they're fresh and at their prime.
Every year my friends have a huge party on Independence Day. They live atop a hill which overlooks Great America and therefore have an amazing (and free!) fireworks display for the holiday. Why not host a huge party? Last year was our first time to go and I knew my friends were into food so I stayed up all night the night before making cupcakes and decorating them in red, white and blue. Then, I arranged then on a baking sheet so that they looked like an American Flag. I thought I was brilliant. Until I got there, that is. They had a spread that would impress even a cruise ship catering staff! Homemade ribs, chicken, corn, casseroles, pies, cakes, you name it! My cupcakes were delicious, but they paled in comparison.
This year I had to go big. I really had to impress these guys and I knew that I didn't have three generations of ribs-mastering chefs in my family history so I went on a hunt for a pie recipe. You'd be amazed to find that I had trouble finding exactly what I was looking for. In the end, I used Alice Waters' pie crust (which is my stand-by because it even converted my mom, who thinks crust is just an innovative pie-holder, into a crust-eater), the basic idea from a strawberry pie filling I found on all recipes with some significant flavoring adjustments because my strawberries didn't need help, and an ad hoc blueberry mixture.
The real success was in the assembly, though, as evidenced by the photo. It was beautiful. In the end, we didn't make it to the party in Vallejo. But we did eat pie!

45 CFR 286.135 - What information on penalties against individuals must be included in a Tribal Family Assistance Plan?
(a) The TFAP must include the Tribe's proposal for penalties against individuals who refuse to engage in work activities. The Tribe's proposal must address the following:
(1) Will the Tribe impose a pro rata reduction, or more at Tribal option, or will it terminate assistance to a family?
(2) After consideration of the provision specified at§ 286.150, what will be the proposed Tribal policies related to a single custodial parent, with a child under the age of 6, who refuses to engage in work activities because of a demonstrated inability to obtain needed child care?
(3) What good cause exceptions, if any, does the Tribe propose that will allow individuals to avoid penalties for failure to engage in work?
(5) What, if any, will be the Tribe's policies related to victims of domestic violence consistent with§ 286.140?
(1) The rationale must address how the proposed penalties against individuals are consistent with the purposes of TANF, consistent with the economic conditions and resources of the Tribe, and how they relate to the requirements ofsection 407(e) of the Act.
(2) Examples of the information that could be included to illustrate the Tribe's proposal include, but are not limited to; poverty, unemployment, jobless and job surplus rates; education levels of adults in the service area; availability of and/or accessibility to resources (educational facilities, transportation) to help families become employable and find employment; and employment opportunities on and near the service area.

Beginning Your Own T-Shirt Line? What to do first!
Very often at You Design It we get calls from people who are excited and looking to start their own t-shirt line. That's fantastic and we're very eager to do what we can to help them get started. That's why we've put together this series of posts with that objective in mind. We hope that you find them useful because everyone can be successful with the right t-shirt game-plan.
By far the most common question we get from people who are just starting out with their own t-shirt line is something to the effect of, How much would it cost for me to get 500 or 600 shirts? Whoa! Now don't get us wrong, we'd be delighted if you ordered 600 shirts from us, but let's back track a bit and see what's in your best interest.
As with any major new undertaking, the first and most important place to start is by far with research. What type of shirts will you be producing? Who is your target market? How will you reach out to this demographic? What is the competition like in this market? What type of capital are you working with? How much can you afford to invest in your new business and how long will you be able to keep it afloat in the early stages when it probably won't be profitable? Remember that very few businesses start out in a blaze of glory and success. You're going to need some time to build up a buzz and get your name out there.
There are many more considerations that go into the research section of your business development and we definitely encourage you to think them over carefully, but next we want to touch on one of the other major aspects of this whole endeavor: the t-shirt design. In all honesty without a great design, or set of designs, you won't get very far. It has to be something creative and unique, but also popular enough to resonate with people. This is going to be especially important when your line is just starting out and you don't have any name brand recognition for your company. For a very popular company it's possible that people will buy tees just to own a shirt from that line. With a new company however, you're completely out there on your own with just your designs, creativity, and hard work to sustain you.
With these factors in mind we encourage you to start off with a smaller sample of shirts and test the waters so to speak. Starting off with something in the neighborhood of 12-36 shirts will give you a chance to get a feel for the business without investing anymore capital than necessary and then to make modifications as necessary. Remember the last thing you want on your hands is 495 slow selling designs when the first five buyers have all said something to the effect of this is great, but I sure wish the print was larger or if only this came in darker colors.
We're very excited about the prospect of helping you out with your new line and we know that it's going to be BIG once it gets off the ground. We hope that you've found this brief entry helpful and that you'll be able to get rolling in no time. We have much more to come….

Health Care Delivery
Creating sustainable, effective linkages between the clinical and community settings can improve patients' access to preventive and chronic care services by developing partnerships between organizations that share a common goal of improving the health of people and the communities in which they live. These linkages connect clinical providers, community organizations, and public health agencies.
The goals of clinical-community linkages include:
Types of clinical-community linkages include coordinating services at one location, coordinating services between different locations, and developing ways to refer patients to resources.
Strategies that improve access to clinical preventive services (such as screening and counseling), community-level activities, and appropriate medical treatment have been shown to reduce and prevent disease in communities. Collaborations between clinical, community, and public health organizations offer a win-win scenario for participating organizations, clinical teams, and patients.
What do effective clinical-community linkages offer?
It may seem obvious to link organizations that share similar goals for groups of patients. However, primary care clinicians, public health agencies, and community groups often provide services with little interaction with each other. To build and improve linkages across private and public health organizations within communities, it is important to identify gaps in needed health services and to fill those gaps by using the strengths and abilities of the participating organizations.
AHRQ's Innovations Exchange features examples of successful clinical-community collaborations and more resources for linking clinical practices and community organizations. These resources include:

The parent of Tidelands Bank swung to a third-quarter profit.
Mount Pleasant-based Tidelands Bancshares Inc. earned $113,009 for the period after accounting for a $207,000 dividend payment owed to the U.S. Treasury, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. That compared to a $2,6 million loss for the same period last year.
The filing showed Tidelands set aside just $45,000 from July to September to cover projected loan losses, bolstering its profits. A year ago it had to reserve more than $2.2 million, money that's subtracted from the bottom line.
Another contributing factor was a $285,000 drop in ownership expenses this past quarter tied to real estate Tidelands had repossessed.
Year-to-date, the bank owner is still in the red. Its net loss from January through September was $1.8 million, down from a $2.97 million deficit for the first nine months of 2012.
Tidelands said its asset quality has improved markedly this year. It pointed to a steep decline in loan charge-offs to $301,000 from $5 million for the first nine months of 2012.
The bank's total assets totaled $493.7 million at Sept. 30, down 6 percent since Dec. 31. Deposits slipped 1.6 percent to $443.4 million over the same period.
One issue facing Tidelands is its quarterly Treasury dividends on stock it sold the government in 2008 under the Troubled Asset Relief Program. The bank temporarily halted those payouts in 2010 to conserve cash and hasn't resumed them.
The lender has seven branches in Charleston, Dorchester, Berkeley, Horry and Beaufort counties. It is marked its 10th year in business on Oct. 6.

If Nashville Predators All-Star defenseman Ryan Suter, a pending unrestricted free agent, didn't have the the rest of the league's attention already, he's got it now.
Suter told reporters at the NHL All-Star Game's media day on Friday that he's not interested in signing an extension with the Predators before the NHL trade deadline on Feb. 27. That adds to speculation that the Predators could look to trade him—partner Shea Weber is a restricted free agent, and both are due big-time deals—despite the fact that Predators GM David Poile has given no indication that he's considering it.
Regardless, Suter says no pre-deadline deal is going to come.
"I feel (signing in February) would be more of a distraction than anything," Suter said, according to CSNPhilly.com. "We've never had a timeline or deadline. We're just focusing on winning. Everything else will take care of itself.
"I don't see it being a benefit by hurrying up and trying to get something done. I'm a Nashville Predator until July. I will focus on making my team better."
Goaltender Pekka Rinne's record-breaking contract extension notwithstanding, Nashville typically spends well below the NHL's salary cap. Weber's age (26), current salary ($7.5 million) and annual Norris Trophy-contender status coupled with fact that Suter is regarded with only slightly less esteem makes it easy to doubt whether Nashville can pay them both.
Suter, 27, currently makes $3.5 million, and his contributions to the Predators go beyond his five goals and 23 assists; Behindthenet.ca's Corsi Rel QoC essentially measures the quality of competition a given player faces based on the amount of shots they take while on the ice. A Rel QoC greater than zero means that a player is facing better-than-average competition. Weber's 1.337 and Suter's 1.301 are both top 20 among defenseman who have played 30 games or more.
Not that Nashville is looking to trade Suter—the Predators are 9-1-0 in their last 10 games and fifth in the Western Conference with 64 points. Suter said he's interested in seeing what his own team adds as the deadline approaches and communicates regularly with Poile.
"Talking to David, I'm pretty confident that we are going to out and get some guys to help us win," Suter said, according to USA Today.
"Whenever (Poile) runs into me, he will pull me aside and tell me what's going on," Suter said. "That's maybe every couple of weeks."
And Poile, for his right, has been steadfast in stating that he believes the Predators, who last season advanced in the playoffs for the first time in franchise history, will spend what it takes to keep their homegrown defensemen in the fray. On Friday, in an interview with ESPN.com, he reiterated that doing so was "our plan and our desire," and that the Predators' days as a bottom-five payroll team are over.
"That's the conversation we've been having," Poile told ESPN.com before Suter broke his news. "Those days are past. We have new ownership in place. They've made a commitment to me and the players and both Ryan and Shea know that, because of the dollars they're going to be getting and what we need to do to win that Cup, we'll be spending what is necessary to contend."
Weber, meanwhile, said Suter's announcement doesn't change anything. "Obviously, he's focused on winning," Nashville's captain said, according to USA Today. "The biggest thing for us is to keep what we have going going. We are playing good hockey."
Weber said if Suter believed it was going to be a distraction "then he is doing the right thing by putting it off."
Added Weber: "I'm surprised maybe that it took him so long to get it off his chest."

As of Friday, March 8, 2013
© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
The Clayton State women's basketball might have started slow in its Peach Belt Conference quarterfinals game against streaking Armstrong Atlantic, but the Lakers finished strong.
Powered by conference player of the year Drameka Griggs, the Lakers pulled away from Armstrong for a 76-44 win at the Lumpkin Center in Columbus. With the win, the Lakers will take on the winner of the host Columbus State and USC Aiken in Saturday's semifinals round.
Griggs finished with 17 points, eight steals and six rebounds while teammate Kayla Mobley had a game-high 22 points and 10 rebounds.
Clayton State, the top-ranked team in Div. II, improves to 27-0 in its quest to win its first conference tournament championship since the 2009-10 season.
But Thursday's focus was getting through the opening round against Armstrong, which had won five straight games to clinch a spot in the conference tournament. Armstrong was on a hot streak, winning six of its last seven games.
"We are definitely relieved to get the win," Clayton State coach Dennis Cox said in his postgame press conference. "I believe the hardest game of any tournament is the first game. Armstrong was arguably the hottest team in the Peach Belt. They definitely had our attention."
Clayton State used its pressure defense to blow open a close game. After Armstrong cut the lead to 15-11, the Lakers would reel off 10 unanswered points for a 25-11 lead.
Clayton closed the first half on a 13-4 run to take a 38-19 lead at the intermission.
"Once we got our press going, we were pretty much unstoppable at that point," Griggs said.
Armstrong, which ended its season with a 13-14 record, was led by Tori Klewickin-McNutt's nine points.

During a recent conversation with Colin Johanson (informal I might add) we found ourselves on the topic of 2014 and what it holds for Guild Wars 2. The question arose as to what I thought the year would hold for the game and what was the greatest risk to the product. In all honesty, it's something I hadn't really thought about, primarily because the MMOG's arising in 2014 are distinctly different to Guild Wars 2 and certainly when it comes to The Elder Scrolls Online, ArenaNet have absolutely nothing to worry about.
With the exception of WildStar, my greatest fear for Guild Wars 2 over the next 12 months is the Living World model and the deployment of it. It's unquestionable that the Living World model has demonstrated ArenaNet's ability to deliver content at break-neck speeds to which no other developer has rivalled and yet I also think it's unquestionable that the majority of the Living World content has been poorly received or is a replica of what came before it.
This cycle of bi-weekly content (although sometimes a little longer) that sees the release of a new temporary fixture, a series of new meta-achievements followed by a themed gem store item is getting incredibly old, incredibly quickly. The primary reason why is the fact that while the enemy or location you encounter is different - all loosely held together with the haphazard storyline - the fundamentals of what you're undertaking remain exactly the same.
The highlights of the Living World model have admittedly still borrowed heavily from this formula but where they excelled was allowing yourself to be immersed in other activities or to forget entirely about achievement chasing or bloody Scarlet. The single greatest addition to Guild Wars 2 since its launch was the Bazaar of the Four Winds. Not only was it visually stunning, but it brought with it a whole host of excellent mini games, wonderful level design and a location that felt just "right". I'm still wounded by the fact it's temporary and look forward to it making its return, but I'm confident if ArenaNet were to ask any player as to their favourite Living World content, it would undoubtedly be this one.
My original hope for Living World content was for ArenaNet to implement something (anything) in the game world that would be permanent, original and which provided enough to do to justify the development time. There wasn't ever a need to absolutely-categorically link this new content to an on going story, though that would, inevitably, be a bonus. Most importantly of all, I never envisaged that the Living World process would result in content so quickly, if anything I was expecting Living World updates once a quarter (to justify their size) while the rest of the time in between was for polish and updates for other areas of the game. I really couldn't have been more wrong and I think that it's a shame we're trundling down the path we're currently treading.
If we're to truly analyze Living World, we need to weigh up the good and the bad:
- New "content" every few weeks.
- New achievements for players to complete
- New cosmetic items for players to obtain
- Allows for players to experience a continued story arc
- New locations for players to explore and participate in
- Great PR
- Huge resource drain on ArenaNet for content that can often be completed in several hours (and sometimes significantly less)
- Diverts attention away from other areas of the game that need TLC
- Places players under pressure to complete the temporary content for fear of missing out
- Alienates new players as a daunting experience (too much to do)
- Temporary content makes any Living World disposable
- Repetition of content design
Admittedly both of the above lists could be longer on both sides but I feel in terms of raw pros and cons nit from a player and journalist perspective, I'm not sure it makes pleasant reading. My greatest concern with Living World is the fact that it provides false progression. It's a temporary plaster to the insatiable behaviour of the playerbase in an effort to keep them satiated, without ever truly adding longevity.
I don't for a second believe that this Living World model is sustainable because not only is it so resource intensive but because of the competition on the horizon. When that fall-off eventually happens (and it will) what will be left for players to sink their teeth into? sPvP is skeletal in its implementation with balance all over the place, WvW maps are too small and encourage zerging (still), dungeons awful, while every person I know who has asked for GvG is still waiting.
Frustratingly and having once asked Mike Ferguson why ArenaNet place so much pressure on themselves to deliver Living World when the player base isn't specifically asking for it or seeking it, I never actually received a straight answer. I'm not entirely convinced ArenaNet know why they're doing it, though their coffers bulging from the Gem Store is probably the best incentive.
Coming back to the original question of "what I thought the year would hold for the game" I'd have to simply say - more Living World. I think that's a real shame, as Guild Wars 2 could truly offer so much more than what we're currently playing. My fear however is the fact that ArenaNet don't begin to work past this short-sighted development, there'll be nothing with longevity left when players grow even more tired of this content conveyer belt.
My thoughts since the
My thoughts since the beginning of Living World.
I personally think GW2 would
I personally think GW2 would be a better MMO if they stopped with the 2-week pace and instead, put out something far more substantial to chew on that lasted much longer and took longer to do.
The event "Flame and Frost" was honestly the last great content update that was on GW2 in my honest opinion. I spent many, many hours playing through the content and just getting lost in the story as it evolved. Since then however, the 2-week content march is just.. well, boring and totally forgettable.
The content is just a grindy mess that provides very little in the way of meaningful content to enjoy and since it only lasts for a little while, if you're bogged down with work or college you may as well not even bother starting any of it.
TL.DR: More 'big' content, less of this annoying, forgettable, grindy heap of meaningless dribble.
I agree with this article
I agree with this article completely. I have abandoned GW2 specifically because of Living Story. I don't mind occasional one-time events, but a never-ending stream of them is obnoxious and stressful.
I don't log in anymore. There's no point. I'm almost ready to uninstall the game completely, but I know that if I do that, I probably won't ever return (once I leave a game, I seldom look back). So I keep hoping for some encouraging news.
I just wish that they would either prove that the majority of their players really love Living Story (in which case, I can just move on) or admit that they made a mistake and change course. Unfortunately, ANet seems to be the kind of company that seldom admits mistakes and almost NEVER changes direction once they've committed to a course of action.
What a shame. Ah well, plenty of other games out there.
Gotta say, Lewis, I agree
Gotta say, Lewis, I agree with a lot of your article. I agree that the speed of the updates creates more problems than it solves. Having said that I enjoyed most of the updates in general, I just don't think we need them every two weeks - I'd be happy to get twice the content monthly instead and if that could ease the pressure a little and allow some staff to work on quality of life and balance changes then all the better.
If the two week schedule was ANet's attempt to wave their development pee-pee about and say "look at how fast we can make new content!" then great, we get it. But now its time to slow it down, review and learn from mistakes. I've got no problem with continuing the Living Story - I'd love if, after defeating Scarlet, we the story (and world) continues to evolve and change on the back of this particular arc, just give each update some time to mature for crying out loud.
Biggest problem with living
Biggest problem with living world? They've easily put out enough new content (quests, dialog, locations, models with animation, full events), more than enough to make an entire new zone on the map. But most of it is gone forever.
Put that same time and effort into expanding the map, adding new dungeons, new classes, new races, and all players get that content forever, instead of the players that log on during the event just getting it for a month and then it vanishes like a fart in the wind with little more than a weapon skin and an achievement.
I stopped playing half a year ago because of close to zero real growth, and basically nothing they've developed since thing can bring me back, because nothing they've developed since then is still in the 'effing game (well, 90% of it).
I agree, 2 weeks is way too
My thoughts exactly. It's a
My thoughts exactly. It's a shame really. They can't put the content out without bugs and since it is temporary, there is really no point in worrying about most bugs.
There was great update !
There was great update !
- Bazaard of the wind
- queen's jubilee
- Tequatl for those who like these
- Scarlett attack through the world
Those update were really fun to play, and would have been boring if kept too long - see scarlet attack through the world. I love the excitment of the bi-weekly release, even if, in fact, it is often a monthly update release in two times ! Let the achievement perdure two months, and year, it *is* fun !
Pre-launch, they talked about
Pre-launch, they talked about the aspects of their game they would do different, such as the Dynamic events, the WvW, the combat, the Personal story and such.
- When The Lost Shores hit I thought they were going to improve on their aspects and give us these One Time events as a bonus, but no.
The Lost Shores had some issues, yeah, but I got two precursors and some other stuff from it. Notice also how a lot of things happened during just that weekend.
- Two weeks we spend grinding these achievements and wait for Scarlet's plot to unravel itself.
There is a distinct difference since the months after launch and now, and I'm not sure that particular aspect is improving.
- I'm optimistic about 2014 and I look forward to it, but I'm not as much into GW2 as I would have liked. I'm a fan of the franchise, I played the first game. I WANT GW2 to immerse me so much, but I'm stretching my faith in ANet to almost a breaking point here.
Worst case scenario, though, is that I pick up some other MMO and check in with GW2 to see if they've made some major or substantial additions to the game further down the road. I'm hoping for that. GW2 is a game that could be so much more, or so I feel at least.
I see no problem with the
I see no problem with the living world... first off it is not totally original, it is a tested formula from games such as COX which was profitable until NCSoft prematurely closed it down after eight years. Second of all, what makes you think they can not put out meatier updates at the same time? As a matter of fact I know that Arenanet is working on a large project as they are putting out the Living world, can you not imagine other things might be going on?
It's working, my server is overloaded, they are making fortunes off the gem store, the sky is not falling, Gw2 life will go on.

NMFH Annual Youth Fishing
Spring 2012
The North Mississippi Fish Hatchery Visitor Education Center
(NMFH VEC) holds an annual youth fishing rodeo each spring. The
Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, & Parks is
dedicated to promoting the outdoors and encouraging responsible
anglers! This year at the NMFH VEC we had close to 300
young people not only fishing but catching catfish and one or two
This year the Department tagged 25 fish, which won many
anglers great prizes.
Some young fishermen (right) were
so determined to get to the rodeo, they stopped on the side of the
road, gathered some cane, and made it in time to land a
catfish supper. The biggest fish caught was 5 lbs. 11 oz. This
angler, Brett (left), decided the best place for the
winning catfish was back in the rodeo pond. However, this
catch still won the Bill Dance autographed hat!
A special thanks to BAM (Bowfishing
Association of Mississippi) for participating in our event this
year. Maybe some of these boys and girls will land some impressive
trophy records in the future! To learn more about this organization
that targets rough fish and invasive species like the Asian Carp,

Littoral Combat Ship: Doubling Down on Uncertainty
Suggestions like these often are the root of fiscal and strategic indiscipline. Why buy more ships than originally needed instead of saving the extra money? The Pentagon is now facing intense fiscal discipline, so it makes little sense to buy more ships instead of pocketing the savings.
Gambling on uncertainty
The Navy's new proposal to purchase two different seaframes is basically a doubling-down on the LCS program. The service is heavily invested in this new shallow water capability, both in resources and prestige, and the hope is that adding a second production line can hedge against future difficulties. This assumption looks reasonable on paper.
But doubts persist about the LCS' viability and usefulness. The program has experienced numerous problems, gone over budget, and several of its concepts "will remain unproven until 2013 or later." The LCS is supposed to provide such versatility that it can replace a variety of current-generation platforms, yet that premise remains debatable. Despite these serious doubts, the Navy has chosen to ramp up short-term costs in the hopes of attaining some savings further down the line.
Unclear costs
It is also unclear whether using two designs will actually save money. According to the Government Accountability Office, "[i]n the near term, cost increases are likely but it is unknown whether increases will exceed what the Navy has budgeted for fiscal years 2010 and beyond." The Navy is taking on larger costs now hoping – but not knowing – that it will save money further down the line.
This is a fairly common way for the Pentagon to save money, but circumstances surrounding the program make such a prospect uncertain. In 2007, the Navy had to "substantially" restructure the program "in response to significant cost growth and delays in constructing the first LCS sea frames," according to Congressional Research Service. The restructuring led to cancellations of a total of five seaframes.
The Navy announced a new acquisition strategy in 2009, but costs still are unknown. Several of the design changes implemented on the latest ships have not been completed. According to GAO, these design changes could mean that the ship specifications might need to be changed. That in turn would necessitate contract modifications (page 5). The costs of the ships could potentially rise further if new problems arise. GAO warns that "the Navy's ability to deliver a capable, affordable LCS remains unproven. Staying within budget will require the Navy to achieve design stability before beginning construction of future ships."
The mission
Beyond budgetary questions such as these is a more fundamental issue. The LCS program was set up in 2001 to transform the Navy's fleet, providing a relatively small surface vessel (i.e. corvette, light frigate) to operate in shallow coastal waters, including visiting ports that are too shallow for cruisers and destroyers. This offers better capabilities against asymmetrical or smaller threats, but does not answer whether this is a probable and necessary mission for the Navy in the years ahead. That discussion must underpin any discussion about the future of LCS.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WHNT) – Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alabama announced Wednesday it will not reinstate current health plans that do not comply with the requirements of the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
The company released a statement with this news, almost a week after President Barack Obama said anyone whose policies had been cancelled would be able to keep them for up to a year. Read the full statement.
"The company has worked for the last three and a half years to develop an array of plans that continue our commitment of providing comprehensive, reliable coverage for the healthcare needs of all of our customers at the most affordable cost possible," the statement from Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alabama read.
"The temporary reinstatement of policies that are non-ACA compliant would create dual classes of policyholders and destabilize the state's insurance market and the risk pools associated with these health plans. The ultimate impact would be higher healthcare costs for all of our customers, now and in the near future."
Alabama's largest insurer said it did not reach this conclusion easily, and has been in 'continuous consulation' with the Alabama Department of Insurance in evaluating all options.
"A one-year continuation of policies that violates the ACA's requirements could create significant legal and financial risks to our policyholders, the state and our company," the statement read.
Blue Cross said in its 77-year history, the company has never cancelled a member's coverage because of declined health status or charged an individual higher premiums because of the presence of any medical condition. It went on to say Blue Cross is the only company that offers ACA-compliant healthcare coverage in every category in every county in Alabama.
The website for the Affordable Care Act, healthcare.gov, has been plagued with problems since it debuted on October 1. President Obama has said teams are fixing it and urges people to try the marketplace to see if a better, more affordable plan is there.

Review: Registry Bistro is welcome addition to DowntownWritten by Glass City Gourmet | | email@example.com
Registry Bistro, on the first floor of the renovated Secor Hotel, is another great addition to Downtown Toledo's renaissance of attractions, special events and nightlife.
Erica Rapp, Chef de Cuisine, burst onto the Toledo dining scene with a handsome and minimalist space featuring a changing menu of New American Cuisine. For the uninitiated, New American Cuisine started in California as French-trained American chefs began incorporating fresh, local, seasonal ingredients along with more global influences to update American cooking.
Chef Rapp trained at the prestigious Culinary Institute of America and has a devoted audience in Toledo from her previous roles as the Executive Chef at the Toledo Museum of Art and at Diva Restaurant. Unlike Diva, Registry is a bistro, an inviting place with a moderately priced menu that demonstrates the chef's creativity with a focus on seasonal ingredients.
My dining companions and I started the meal with the Nibbles and Nosh. We enjoyed the Scotch Olives with Saffron Aioli ($8), Sprout and Fennel Roll with Smoked Brook Trout and a Verjus-Yuzu Dipping Sauce ($7). We also had Bistro Frites with cracked pepper and sea salt ($4) served with a Moody Blue Fondue. The Moody Blue Fondue is a smooth, creamy and delicate blend of four cheeses that creates a single harmonious flavor, making a generous portion of crispy French fries quickly disappear.
The Scotch Olives are a take on Scotch eggs with hearty green olives stuffed with herbed goat cheese, surrounded by chorizo and coated with bread crumbs before being deep fried. Sounds absurd. Tastes delicious. Especially when consumed with a Dirty Dill ($8), one of Registry Bistro's signature cocktails. The Dirty Dill includes Hendricks gin, dry vermouth and a cornichon stuffed olive. All three of the appetizers were artfully plated and brought both original and subtle flavor combinations.
Moving on, we selected the Mixed Field Green Salad with Smoked Blue Cheese featuring Lacquered Walnuts and a citrus dill vinaigrette ($4). This is a plate of mesclun leaves with blue cheese and spiced walnuts, candied in maple syrup. While the citrus and dill flavors of the dressing are imperceptible, the candied walnuts are a sweet contrast to the sharpness of blue cheese. The Spice Lacquered Walnuts may be ordered as an appetizer for $5.
The night we dined at Registry Bistro, the day's market soup ($5) was an elegant vichyssoise. Normally pureed and chilled potato soup, was prepared instead with sunchokes and a sprinkle of roasted duck confit that leaves a hint of orange rind. It takes hours of prep work to be able to make a soup with this complexity. Chef Rapp's talent lies in seamlessly balancing all of the tastes into one extraordinary flavor.
Part of the thrill of New American Cuisine is trying something unpredictable. While sitting at the bar another evening having a cocktail, one diner could be heard commenting on the Butcher's Board with Charcuterie & Savory Cheesecake ($15), "I've never even heard of any of these meats before, but they are all delicious," the guest said. This is the right attitude. Put yourself in Chef Rapp's capable hands and try something that defies your imagination.
The entrees are divided between "Light Fare" and "Main" and offer a range of game, fish, fowl and vegetarian dishes. They are priced between a $10 Midwest Meatloaf Burger with bacon jam served with brioche and frites and a $25 Hanger Steak with black garlic and butter presented with smoked roasted potatoes with bacon. I ordered the Pan Roasted Corvina, a white fish similar to sea bass (aka corvina drum), with cannellini beans served with braised fennel and dandelion greens.
One of my tablemates ordered the Rabbit Potpie with carrots and English peas and the third ordered Pot Roast Ravioli that was also served with braised vegetables. The entrees we ordered were all delicious. For my taste, salt overpowered the broth served over both the fish and the ravioli entrees.
I would like to see the summer menu place a greater emphasis on crisp and colorful summer vegetables, fresh garden herbs and main courses that are grilled or seared rather than braised or roasted. As the heat index surges above 90, I'd love to try Chef Rapp's take on ceviche or maybe her preparation of a fresh catch from the Great Lakes. She can go back to potpie, fondue and pot roast as well as assorted wild game with earthy, roasted vegetables in the fall. For those with dietary restrictions, the menu is well marked for vegetarian and gluten-free diets. There is, of course, a great selection of homemade desserts. For $9, you may have a sampling of the sweets. My favorite is the rich and creamy chocolate stout and pretzel tart.
Chef Rapp does an outstanding job creating a comprehensive and food-friendly wine list. Wines range from "Old World" European red, white, rose, champagne and sparkling to "New World" varietals. Wine may be ordered by the glass, by the bottle or in a half-bottle served in a whimsical vessel that reminds me of a glass beaker in a science lab. Our waiter, Brian, was engaging and knowledgeable about the wines and food pairings. The service at Registry Bistro is still a little clumsy but bears the hallmarks of proper training. I suspect it will continue to get even better as everyone becomes more comfortable with the shape of the dining room and the new menu.
Impress a date or client with Toledo's sophistication, rekindle a romance, or just come on your own to discover the sensuality of New American Cuisine with a dinner at Registry Bistro. It's a great place for a light bite before or after an evening at Huntington Center, Fifth Third Field, the Peristyle, the museum or the Valentine Theatre. If you come with an open mind and an appetite for adventure, you will not be disappointed.

What does 'Country and a Little More' mean?
It's KLPZ's station format, and it's an understatement. 'A little more' includes the many segments which make up Mornings with Keith & Juanita, the afternoon utterances of John Wright, the Rush Limbaugh Show, the Huckabee Report, and of course the Little Bit More Show with Josh Savino. It's a unique mix of daily life, on-air.
How do I call in?
You can call our live shows from 6am to 10am, from 3pm to 5pm and from 5pm to 7pm every weekday by calling (928) 669-2507. Remember, all calls are live to the studio and mostly unscreened, so expect to go on the air! To call Rush from 10am till 1pm, call 1(800) 282-2882, or to call KLPZ off-air it's (928) 669-9274.
I hate Rush Limbaugh.
Well, you could choose not to listen. But we think that, given time, you'll find that Rush, like the rest of us here at KLPZ, will grow on you like a fungus. After all, he is the most-listened-to radio personality in America! Aren't you interested to find out what everyone likes so much?
How does Rush Limbaugh fit into a country music radio station?
He doesn't… and that's your first clue that you're listening to something 'out of the box'.
Will you really help me sell my stuff for free?
We will! We call it the Trading Post: Buy, Trade or Sell. Even non-listeners make use of the Trading Post, though they frequently get the name wrong (examples we've heard include the Swap-Meet Show, Trading Shop and The Victor Show). It airs most mornings with Keith & Juanita, usually in the 9 o'clock hour.
How can I get my items listed on the show?
Give us a call Monday through Friday, 8am till 5pm at our office line: (928) 669-9274. Alternatively, if you'd like to wait until the Trading Post is on the air, you can call the show to give details live; call (928) 669-2507. This will give you a chance to plug your item in your own way using your best sales voice live on the radio. Either way, we'll write a brief description of your item, along with a price and a phone number. It will stay on the Trading Post for 10 days.
Can I hear KLPZ in Quartzsite?
Yes. Our range of coverage includes Quartzsite, Desert Center, Blythe, Parker Strip, Lake Havasu City and Salome. If you can't get our AM signal, just tune in online HERE!
I don't get a great signal where I am. How can I listen?
KLPZ's morning, afternoon and evening shows are streaming live around the world on the internet: click HERE. And if you'd like to use your mobile device, you can listen to KLPZ on the go! Just visit klpz1380.com from your mobile device and click 'Listen live!'
Who is Keith Douglas?
Keith is host of Mornings With Keith & Juanita. You know; Amazing Man and Nine-Tenths. K-11. Master and Commander of the Airwaves. Locked-and-Loaded Douglas. The Bruce Lee of Radio. The Black-Footed Ferret. (Do not be fooled by others; they're mere weasels in disguise.)
How do you pronounce 'Juanita'?
Wuh-neeta. And she can do it in Spanish.
Is John Wright really from Ireland?
Yes. John Wright was born and raised in Belfast, Northern Ireland and came to America and KLPZ in 2004. He is losing his accent, but – trust us – he's Irish through and through.
Who is Josh Savino?
Josh is our on-air evenings host. Listen to the Little Bit More Show on your drive home. You won't regret it.
What's with all the animal names?
This little KLPZ tradition owes its existence, we believe, to the influence of our many listeners of the Colorado River Indian Tribes (CRIT), some of whom have great Native American names. Keith said he would like an animal name too, and became The Black-Footed Ferret. From there, the phenomenon grew, and now many of our regular cast of callers have animal names of their own. (Juanita is the Luscious Lizard and John is the Belfast Beaver. Perhaps you have a suggestion what Josh should be called?)
Where can I meet the KLPZ team?
Come along to one of our live remote broadcasts throughout the year: they're a lot of fun and we'd love to see you there! We also have an open-house policy at the station. Visit after 10am, Monday thru Friday at 816 6th Street in Parker, AZ.
Why should I advertise on KLPZ?
Most other radio stations play automated music or satellite feeds all day long. That's okay. But KLPZ listeners are with us for something different: live, locally hosted shows, latest news, informed talk and opinion, something to make them laugh, something unscripted, fun and original, something that doesn't have to end within the allocated 90-second timeslot. So, we have active listeners, not passive listeners. Your message goes out, hand-in-hand with daily live programming on the dominant radio station in this area.
Can I buy some KLPZ merchandise?
Not usually, unless we have a special promotion of some kind. But there are plenty of opportunities to pick up some goodies absolutely free! Play live on 'You Call It Friday' for many prizes from our local sponsors.
What else can I win?
This changes throughout the year. We have tickets to lots of big events: music festivals, races, movies, concerts, and the Rennaisance Festival. We regularly give away meals, CDs and games. Through special promotions, KLPZ has also been known to part with toys, cash, furniture, an iPhone and a car.
What is the Sheriff's Department Roundup?
The Roundup, part of our morning show, regularly lists the names of those arrested by law enforcement agencies in La Paz County, and what they were arrested for. It is provided as a public service that keeps citizens aware of what is happening in their community. Suspects are, of course, presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
How does your station survive?
KLPZ is a completely private enterprise, funded entirely through sponsorship and advertising revenue. Some people are surprised to hear that we don't recieve any government compensation for our community involvement. Nope! We're a business, born of pure all-American market capitalism, and our wonderful sponsors allow us to be involved in as many community programs and events as we are. In the process, we create great relationships with all our advertisers. Become one.
Has anyone ever paid you $250 for a transcript of 'News You Can't Use'?
Two people have taken Keith up on this deal so far; both paid with Monopoly money.
What other programs will I hear on KLPZ?
Blues Deluxe, 25 Years of Hits, Classic Country Today and Into The Blue are KLPZ's one-hour music feature shows from 1:15pm each weekday. You will also hear various programs presented as segments of our live shows, such as In-Fisherman Report, Little Known Facts, The Ultimate Sacrifice and County Corner. On Sunday mornings, we turn the airwaves over to some inspirational talk and music by the pastors of local churches. During football seasons, KLPZ covers Parker Broncs games live from home games and away games on Friday nights, and talks Fantasy Football on Tuesdays.
Can I submit a quiz to the morning show?
Sure! On You-Call-It Fridays, we invite some regular and irregular characters into the studio to take randomly selected quizzes submitted by listeners. They play on behalf of several lucky callers who get prizes if their in-studio player wins. To write us a quiz, choose your topic, and place 8 primary questions and 2 additional tiebreaker questions in a sealed envelope. In a second sealed envelope, place the answer sheets separately for both. Be creative! You can bring your quiz to KLPZ's studio or mail it to us at 816 W 6th Street, Parker, AZ 85344.
What community programs are you involved with?
KLPZ supports a number of annual events and programs, such as Take A Kid Fishing, the County Fair, Graduations, Red Ribbon Week, and Parker Broncs football. In fact, we invite our sponsors and advertisers to join KLPZ with :30 second messages of their own, a portion of those sponsorships being pledged back to the programs. If you are interested in helping us support our community in this way, please call us.
Please feel free to ask us anything else you have in mind!
Call (928) 669-9274 and we'll do our best to answer.

The Guardians are a group of protectors tasked with the protection of the City from outside threats.
The Guardians' origins stem back to that of the City itself, in the wars that followed the Collapse.[1] Guardians of the present are chosen from the ranks of ancient dead by the Ghosts of the Traveler,[2] and have defended the City for centuries. However, that defense cannot hold out forever.[3]
Guardians are charged with the protection of humanity's survivors, but many have splintered off into other groups with their own agendas. For example, it is commonplace for Guardians to align with one of the City's many factions for support. Some however leave the city altogether, such as those aligned with Concordat or the Cult of Osiris. Few have turned their back on the Light and humanity, such as the villainous Dredgen Yor.
Guardians are equipped with an advanced arsenal of weaponry and vehicles, as well as the ability to channel the Traveler's power (referred to by some as "magic").[4] It is said that Guardians rarely speak.[5]
There are three known classes of Guardian: Hunters, Warlocks, and Titans. Hunters utilize swiftness, accuracy, and stealth. Warlocks have the least amount of armor but the fastest regeneration, and utilize a variety of projectile attacks in their abilities. Titans are able to both take and deal massive amounts of damage, prioritizing either one depending on their subclass. [6] Titans emphasize armor and raw power, while warlocks emphasize the use of their magical abilities and agility. Hunters fall in between both classes.[7] The Guardians include members of the human, Awoken and Exo races, and can be either male or female.
While the choice of race is mostly aesthetic, the choice of class will have more impact. Note that all three classes have access to the same weapons, and are not "locked in" to any particular role. However, each class can specialize in a particular direction depending on which subclass the player is using. Choice of subclass will determine what Super the player can use, as well as what bonuses and other lesser abilities they'll have access to. Subclasses can be leveled up and switched on the fly, allowing a single character a degree of flexibility for different combat scenarios.
Guardians have three base stats determined by their choice of subclass: Armor (shield strength), Agility (movement speed and jump height), and Recovery (regeneration speed). Defense is a separate stat from Armor, which is how much damage is taken from enemy weapons, and is determined by the combined rating of the armor equipped. There are also four extra stats that can be upgraded by choice of equipment: Strength (melee cooldown), Discipline (grenade cooldown), Intellect (Super cooldown), and Light (damage dealt against higher-level enemies).
Guardian progression is capped at level 34 with the release of the House of Wolves expansion.[8] By then, the player can no longer gain any levels with experience. However, increasing a player's Light stat will gain them more levels, and continuing to earn experience will grant the player Motes of Light.
In Destiny, the player will be able to customize their Guardian's head, chest, arms and legs. The helmet is also customizable with various "gears". Guardian customisation also includes clothing such as robes and capes. [9] The software for editing Guardians is called Mash Up.[10]

STOCKTON, Calif. - One night after upsetting No. 6 Stanford in straight sets, No, 10 Cal State Northridge was the upset victim as the host Pacific Tigers dealt the Matadors a 25-23, 25-23, 11-25, 29-27 loss Saturday at the Spanos Center.
Senior John Baker paced CSUN (11-11, 9-11 MPSF) with a match-high 20 kills while junior Brandon Lebrock added 17. The Matadors out-hit the Tigers .290-.214 and even out-pointed Pacific 72.5-72.0 but came up short on the scoreboard.
Matador setter Travis Magorien had an impressive night with 45 assists, 10 digs, four blocks and two of CSUN's three aces.
Taylor Hughes led Pacific (7-16, 4-15 MPSF) with 19 kills while Adam Troy added 11 and Matthew Houlihan chipped in 10.
With set one tied at 22-22, back-to-back kills by Christian Ahlin and Troy gave Pacific set point at 24-22. After a Tigers' service error, Houlihan's attack found the floor giving Pacific the 25-23 victory.
The second set was also tied at 22 when Hughes connected for three of the final four points of the frame. A Baker kill followed a Hughes putaway and evened the score at 23-23. But Hughes wasn't done and his kill on the ensuing point was followed by a Hughes ace and the Tigers had another 25-23 win.
Game three was all CSUN with the Matadors taking the set 25-11. Northridge hit .342 to Pacific's .000 as the Matadors took an early 7-2 lead and never looked back.
The fourth set was easily the tighest of the match. After a Tiger hitting error evened the score at 23-23, a Houlihan kill gave Pacific match point at 24-23. Jared Moore answered with a kill and the set would go extra points. A block by Magorien and Moore on the next point gave CSUN set point at 25-24 but Troy answered. Hughes then put away a kill giving the Tigers their second match point at 26-25. Hughes however hit out saving another match point for CSUN but following another Hughes kill at 28-27, Pacific cashed in on a Marty Ross ace.
Cal State Northridge continues its six-match road trip next week as the Matadors travel to Pepperdine (Apr. 4) and USC (Apr. 6).

J. Richard Hackman (1940-2013)
This paper—a tribute to the lifework of the late scholar J. Richard Hackman, a professor of social and organizational psychology at Harvard—recalls his many contributions to our understanding of work design and team effectiveness. As the authors note, Hackman's research changed the face of work design in countless industries, from service and manufacturing jobs, to education, health care, and the performing arts. His theory (with Greg Oldham) of job characteristics, and his evidence about how one could redesign and enrich jobs, made it possible for workers not only to perform well but also to develop and make meaningful contributions through their work. The author or coauthor of 10 books on group effectiveness, Hackman revitalized teams research with his insights into the conditions under which effective collective work processes emerge. Read More

Helping You Help Me: The Role of Diagnostic (In)Congruence in the Helping Process within Organizations
Coming up with new ideas and solving difficult problems in modern organizations is increasingly accomplished through collaboration and teamwork. Often when people collaborate to tackle a knowledge-intensive project, they still need external help to achieve their goals: advice, assistance with task completion, team coaching, mentoring, and/or socio-emotional support. Yet we know little about the helping process itself. Indeed, sometimes helping attempts are useless, or worse. By conducting a field study of helping in a major design firm, the authors of this paper analyzed how the helping process unfolded. In particular, they focused on aspects of the process, differentiating episodes that employees assessed as successful from those they deemed unsuccessful. They discovered that the key differentiator was whether the helper and the person being helped established "diagnostic congruence" at the outset - a shared understanding of the state of the project and what sort of help was needed. Overall, the study contributes to our understanding of helping in organizations by discovering the interactional influences on the success of a helping episode. It also sheds light on help from a process perspective, highlights the importance of timing in aspects of the process, and uncovers the prominent role of emotion in perceptions of unsuccessful helping.

Componential Theory of Creativity
The componential theory of creativity is recognized as one of the major theories of creativity in individuals and in organizations, serving as a partial foundation for several other theories and for many empirical investigations. It was first articulated by Teresa Amabile in 1983 and has undergone considerable evolution since then. In essence the theory is a comprehensive model of the social and psychological components necessary for an individual to produce creative work. The theory specifies that creativity requires a confluence of four components: Creativity should be highest when 1) an intrinsically motivated person with 2) high domain expertise and 3) high skill in creative thinking 4) works in an environment high in supports for creativity.

It is an extremely exciting time to be part of the Avon Local School District. The district's student enrollment continues to grow, we are in the midst of a middle school construction project and our student academic and extra-curricula's are excelling. Among these reasons and more, I feel privileged to be the district's new treasurer, active since December 16, 2013. Over the past several months I have had the opportunity to meet with administrators, teachers, staff and parents. In each of those encounters, I have felt welcomed, part of the team but most importantly, I feel that I will bring some added experience to the district.
I have served as a treasurer in central Ohio and most recently in an adjacent county. Prior to becoming a treasurer, I worked with the State Auditor's Office in the Performance Audit Division for several years. Growing up in the Ashland area, I graduated from Ashland High School and Ashland University with a degree in business administration. My goal is to start my master's in education administration this coming fall at Ashland University. I feel this degree will give me a heighted understanding of our academic goals in relation to fiscal constraints as we make both short and long term educational and future financial goals.
Mr. Zeman, the prior treasurer, has left the district's finances and fiscal reporting in great shape. I will continue to be as transparent and upfront as what the community is accustomed to and expects. I am always willing to answer questions and provide any financial information needed to promote accountable of taxpayers' dollars. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me or call and I will get the information to you as soon as possible. In future additions of the Avenue, I fully expect to be including financial information that will help keep you informed on how the district is accounting for your dollars.
Thank You,
CFO / Treasurer

In a hearing on Wednesday, Democratic Senator Max Baucus, in speaking about enacting the provisions of the Affordable Care Act, told Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, "I just see a huge train wreck coming down."
He's not the only one.
A recent Quinnipiac University poll (cited here) shows that two-thirds of Democrats now believe the president's heath care reform will either hurt them personally or have no effect on their daily lives. Just above a quarter of those surveyed (27 percent) said the reforms would help them. Just 15 percent of independents believe the Affordable Care Act will help them.
Democratic strategist Doug Schoen, in a burst of candor, admitted, "Obama is trying to make the next election a referendum on Republicans. But Obamacare will still be a drag on the Democratic ticket. Democrats supported it because Obama was attached to it, but they still have great skepticism about the real impact of the law."
The real impact of the law is turning out to be profoundly negative, and the worst is yet to come. ObamaCare is an unworkable monstrosity, and its failure may be among the most important political facts of Mr. Obama's second term. It alone will do a fair amount to revive the GOP's political hopes, starting in 2014.
The president and his party own this impending "huge train wreck," and there's nothing much they can do to avoid it at this stage.
