Founded in a garage in Altadena, Calif., in the late 1980s to design and manufacture interfaces and syncing devices for MIDI as well as time code synchronization systems, the company then known as Midiman, and now as M-Audio, has grown to be a major manufacturer of everything from MIDI keyboard controllers to audio interfaces and reference monitors.
Springing from a software company that made MIDI sequencers for Commodore and Apple computers, their first product, called simply the "Midiman," was a device designed to sync MIDI to a tape recorder, and other early products grew out of the need at the time to synchronize MIDI Time Code with audio and videotape systems. They also developed a line of MIDI interfaces for ISA card slots, serial and parallel computer ports, the only connectivity options prior to the development of USB.

Rated 4.6 out of 5�by 5 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by Madison Marathoner Comfortable and practical I had never used one before, so I was hesitant to pay so much. I wore it on a 16 mile run with severe elevation changes and it was comfortable the entire time. I was able to store gels in the rear pocket and access them while running and still had space for my phone. The bottles stay firmly in place whether empty or full. March 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by SheaWino3 Wonderful Product I purchased this product for my first marathon. I love it. the pocket was large enough to hold my gels, car keys, and phone. The bottles are large enough to hold enough water for the length of the race. December 23, 2013

Mike Vinson had the game-winning hit for Delta State on Friday, a ninth-inning single with the bases loaded.
- Filed Under
Thursday afternoon, Mike Vinson was so upset about hitting into a rally-killing double play that he threw his batting helmet to the ground and was ejected. Less than 24 hours later, the Delta State left fielder more than redeemed himself to send his team into the championship game of the Division II College World Series.
Vinson's ninth-inning single off the shortstop's glove capped a remarkable comeback Friday that saw the Statesmen score all their runs in their final two at-bats for a 6-5 victory against Minnesota State-Mankato at the USA Baseball Training Complex.
The win advanced coach ...

With our attempts to cultivate nature, humankind causes the rising of a next nature, which is wild and unpredictable as ever. Wild systems, genetic surprises, autonomous machinery and splendidly beautiful black flowers. Nature changes along with us.
When using devices nowadays everything feels like plastic. Nissan's engineers are trying to change just that.
The inside of cars usually are built with plastic and can feel cheap instead of the pleasant feeling of human skin. The most comfortable materials, according to Nissan's engineers, are soft, warm, smooth and even moist. When creating the most naturally feeling plastic the engineers are using these qualities to recreate the feeling of human skin. These qualities, however, are not the only factors in making plastic feel naturally.
The natural feeling comes from pressure resistance and texture as well. Nissan's engineers are replicating the softness of human skin and applying it to the plastics. The most attractive texture according to Nissan's research approximates that of the human fingerprint. The implementation of these new natural feeling plastics should lead to the most comfortable cars ever. Drivers will love the soft, natural feeling of the steering wheel.

A Summerville man Jonathan Ivars Radcliffe was involved in two collisions on Jan. 12 and arrested for DUI.
Summerville Police responded to Checkers in reference to a collision, and one of the parties told police they believed the other was intoxicated.
The officer observed Radcliffe and recognized him from a collision about two hours earlier.
At the time of the first collision, police did not note any odor of alcohol or suspect intoxication. Nor did they detect any odor at the second collision. Radcliffe told police he had not consumed any alcohol or taken any medication.
According to the incident report Radcliffe was not slurring his words nor was he unsteady on his feet during the first collision. However, he was observed to be unsteady at the scene of the second collision and although not slurring, was having a difficult time speaking. Radcliffe consented to Standard Field Sobriety tests and had difficulty maintaining his balance. He then refused to partake in further testing.
He was advised he was under arrest for Driving Under the Influence. On his person police found a bottle of pills containing Clonazapam and other pills that Radcliffe claimed was prescribed for anxiety and blood pressure. The bottle stated the medication would cause dizziness or drowsiness and should not be taken when driving or operating machinery.
When he arrived at the Dorchester County Detention Center to take a breath analyzer test, Radcliffe told police he had consumed four beers about eight hours ago. Later he told police he had consumed 15 beers throughout the day. His breath sample showed an alcohol level of 0.15 percent. He was remanded to St. George Detention Center to await a bond hearing.

College acts in best interest of students
From the The Brunswick News
Members of theĀCollege of Coastal GeorgiaĀFoundation know where their ship is going. They know because they are more than passive passengers. They are part of the crew helping to drive the institution's mission deep into this new century and beyond.
The foundation showed, once again, just how valuable it is to the college and to the community Wednesday. On behalf ofĀCollege of Coastal Georgia, it acquired the Hawthorn Suites motel off Ga. Spur 25 just west of Interstate 95.
The purpose of the purchase is obvious, especially to anyone keeping up with the college's success and high enrollment. After some adjustments and renovations to the motel,ĀCollege of Coastal GeorgiaĀwill use it as an off-campus dorm for juniors and seniors.
This will be in addition to Lakeside Village, the dorm complex on the lake on the college campus. It will remain open to freshmen and sophomores, as well as to students in the upper classes.
The acquisition will add 44 rooms to the college's inventory. Because the rooms are suites, they are large enough to accommodate two students. That gives the college, in reality, space for 88 more out-of-town or in-town enrollees.
Simply stated, the college foundation saw a need and an opportunity to fulfill or to begin fulfilling that need, and it acted on it. The fund-raising organization is a doer, just like the outgoing president of the college, Valerie Hepburn.
Industries, business and individuals searching for a worthy can-do foundation to support need look no further than theĀCollege of Coastal GeorgiaĀFoundation. Every contribution helps. Every dollar counts toward the advancement of the college, and the advancement of the community right along with it. Rest assured, the leadership and members of the foundation will make sure of it.
Great job, foundation members. Great instincts. Great vision. Great action.

This application claims the benefit of priority from U.S. Provisional Application entitled "User Productivity Suite", filed Dec. 23, 2002, application Ser. No. 60/436,219, and U.S. Provisional Application entitled "Control Center Pages", filed May 16, 2003, Application Ser. No. 60/471,389.
The following description relates to control level pages for users of, e.g., an enterprise portal system, for example, personal resource pages that reflect the most common information needs of a user.
Users of business systems, e.g., employees of a company implementing such a system, may work in computing environments which include various tools (e.g., applications, services, and databases) and work triggers (e.g., emails, workflow items, and calendar events). Conventional business systems may model business processes from the company's point of view (organization-centric) rather than the employees' (people-centric). Employees using the system may be treated as actors that influence a business process by performing various tasks, e.g., inputting data, editing data, and creating reports. This type of computing environment (i.e., organization-centric rather than people-centric) may not provide a personalized and focused work environment for an individual user.
The present application describes systems and techniques relating to a control center for users of an enterprise portal system
In one aspect, a user of a portal is presented with control level page(s) and execution level pages in parallel browser sessions. The user can navigate between the two without losing work performed in the execution area. The control level pages may serve as personal resource pates, and may include work overview, personal message center, personal service, worklist, and personal information pages. The control page(s) may include messages, work triggers, trackable work objects, and links to services and objects in the execution level, e.g., a workset page.
The portal may be part of an enterprise management consolidation system including a cross functional application to provide communication between at least one of an object modeling tool, a process modeling tool, and a user interface tool.
Details of one or more implementations are set forth in the accompanying drawings and the description below. Other features and advantages may be apparent from the description and drawings, and from the claims.
These and other aspects will now be described in detail with reference to the following drawings.
Like reference symbols in the various drawings indicate like elements.
The systems and techniques described here relate to control level pages for users of, e.g., an enterprise portal system.
A portal 120 provides a common interface to program management services. The portal 120 receives requests from the clients 100 and generates information views 125 (e.g., Web pages) in response. The portal 120 can implement a user roles-based system to personalize the common interface and the information views 125 for a user of a client 100. A user can have one or more associated roles that allow personalized tailoring of a presented interface through the generated information views 125.
The portal 120 communicates with an enterprise management system 130 that consolidates multiple application services. The portal 120 receives data 135 from the enterprise management system 130 for use in fulfilling the requests from the clients 100. The enterprise management system 130 can provide integrated application services to manage business objects and processes in a business enterprise. The business objects and processes can be resources (e.g., human resources), development projects, business programs, inventories, clients, accounts, business products, and/or business services.
The enterprise management system 130 communicates with enterprise base systems 140 to obtain multiple types of data 145. The enterprise base systems 140 can include various existing application services, such as human resource management systems, customer relationship management systems, financial management systems, project management systems, knowledge management systems, business warehouse systems, time management systems, and electronic file and/or mail systems. The enterprise base systems 140 also can include an integration tool, such as the exchange Infrastructure provided by SAP, that provides another level of integration among base systems. The enterprise management system 130 can consolidate and integrate the data and functionality of such systems into a single enterprise management tool.
This enterprise management tool can include systems and techniques to facilitate creation of new applications within the enterprise management system 130. These new applications, referred to as cross-functional or composite applications, can readily draw on the resources of the enterprise base systems 140 to cross over traditional enterprise application boundaries and handle new business scenarios in a flexible and dynamic manner, allowing rapid and continuous innovation in business process management. A virtual business cycle can be created using such cross-functional applications, where executive-level business strategy can feed management-level operational planning, which can feed employee-level execution, which can feed management-level evaluation, which can feed executive-level enterprise strategy. The information generated at each of these stages in the enterprise management cycle can be readily consolidated and presented by the enterprise management system 130 using customized cross-functional applications. The stages can provide and consume determined services that can be integrated across multiple disparate platforms.
The portal 120, enterprise management system 130 and enterprise base systems 140 can reside in one or more programmable machines, which can communicate over a network or one or more communication busses. For example, the base systems 140 can reside in multiple servers connected to an enterprise network, and the portal 120 and the enterprise management system 130 can reside in a server connected to a public network. Thus, the system can include customized, web-based, cross-functional applications, and a user of the system can access and manage enterprise programs and resources using these customized web-based, cross-functional applications from anywhere that access to a public network is available.
The information views (e.g., Web, or portal, pages) may include control center pages, which represent generic personal resources for each user. The control center pages together form a Control Center that represents the user's personal workspace and includes highly personalized content which reflects the most common information needs of the user. The Control Center pages may facilitate control level activities, such as planning and monitoring, as opposed to execution level activities, in which work is actually performed. Consequently, the navigation framework of the Control Center may reflect the basic difference between action control phase and action execution phase.
The Control Center represents a generic UI (User Interface) framework consisting of UI elements that form a navigation structureControl Center; visual components such as views (e.g., "iViews" or "integrated views" referring to a basic unit of portal content that can be used to display information or interact with the portal user) and pages; information and application services; work artifacts such as business objects, procedures, interest profiles, and subscription rules; and collaborative elements.
To create a people-centric work Control Center, it is important to support generic work intents and information needs that users have when obtaining overview information about work and starting to act.
The Control Center introduces single points of access for common work control issues to effectively manage such work trigger and similar generic entities. These single points of access may include the following: preprocessing and handling incoming work triggers; getting an overview about the status of ongoing work; getting an overview about upcoming and urgent events/items; self-coordinating the user's own work; and navigating to frequently used places and tools. For each of these aspects, the Control Center provides a corresponding portal page with information unified from all active business content such as different role packages and business applications.
The Control Center may serve as an anchor, or "home", page for a corporate user. By providing such targeted information places, the Control Center may provide the user with essentially a "one-stop shopping place" for work relevant information. Also, each information place helps to structure the content unification process by introducing corresponding information classes that reflect a common aspect of the Control Center.
In an embodiment, content may be unified independently for each information class. An application registers different generic aspects of its content ("context metadata") via common APIs (Application Programming Interfaces). The information classes may include, e.g., trackable business objects, work trigger like messages, work flow, tasks, etc., time based events, and topic based events.
The Control Center provides generic middle-ware and UI frameworks to unify the content and display it in the appropriate Control Center pages. Unlike simple front-end content unification, which has no further semantic knowledge about the UI components, this process relies on a basic assumption of generic information types that have an explicit meaning related to human work practice. As shown in
The system may be a workset-based portal system, which may facilitate more efficient workflow for the user. Workset-based portal systems present a user with workspaces that are targeted to the user's specific work intents and/or dominant activities, rather than providing a comprehensive list of tasks for a particular job role. In a workset-based portal system, a workspace is a portal page or part of a portal page supporting a coherent set of tasks. In an embodiment, the personal resource pages may provide front end integration from many worksets my merging selected iViews from different worksets to construct work overview pages.
A workset-based portal system is based on the recognition that a user with a particular job role performs a number of different work roles, where each work role consists of a number of tasks directed at achieving a particular work goal. For example, a sales manager (job role) may perform various different work roles related to budgeting, team leading, key account management, promotion management, and market watching. Each of the work roles involves performing one or more tasks.
In order to enable an employee such as a sales manager to perform his work roles, and thus his job role, efficiently, a workset is developed for each work role. The workset includes the tasks and corresponding portal environment for performing the particular work role, which may be bundled into one manageable data object. The workset thus reflects the user's work intent rather than stereotypical job titles, standard business objects, or business processes.
In some implementations, each workset defines a complete working environment for a given work role using a hybrid collection of elements including tools, information, communication and collaboration features, and user interface requirements. A workset may include data related to some or all of the following elements: communities (communities that associated users may want to participate in), context information (information about attributes associated with the workset; for example, attributes that users associated with the workset typically would have), description (brief description of the work intent/work goal of the workset), information/resource collection (one or more bodies of information that associated users may use as resources for achieving the work goal), name (a human-understandable name for the workset), job roles (job roles typically associated with the workset; when a job role is assigned to a particular user, he may be associated with all worksets typically associated with the job role), subscriptions (e.g., a list of resource objects the user may want to subscribe to), navigation structure (the navigation structure provided by the workset, to be combined with other navigation structures including those provided by any other assigned worksets to produce a navigation structure for the particular workset-based portal user), taxonomies (e.g. particular classifications the user may be interested in), and users (users associated with the workset; by including user data in a workset data object, notification tasks may be associated with the workset, and users associated with the workset may receive the notification).
Worksets may include meta-data that may be used for personalization of portal content for the particular user. For example, worksets may include meta-data chosen from a corporate taxonomy of interests. For example, a product support engineer may be assigned a customer feedback workset including tasks related to customer feedback for a particular customer. Meta-data associated with the workset may include an industry identifier for the particular customer chosen from the corporate taxonomy.
Users interact with worksets via one or more workspaces (e.g. portal pages or portions of portal pages) including user-interface elements. A workspace is a spatial arrangement of services and information that together support a coherent set of tasks. Each workset includes user-interface elements associated with that workset and that are displayed in the workspace for enabling tasks associated with the workset. A workspace can include a number of components, which may include iViews, for presenting content to the user. A workspace may include structured information (e.g. applications) and unstructured information, may offer social experience (e.g., users may share opinions, interact with other users via a chat function, share lessons learned, and may determine how many users have accessed particular workspaces), and may offer direct access to related actions or information.
Worksets 210A, 210B, and 210C are associated with three different work roles of the user. The worksets include tasks that enable the user to perform the work role. Workset 210A includes a number of tasks 220, such as tasks A, B, and C, which are presented to the user on a workspace 230A. Workset 220B includes tasks F and G, which are presented to the user on a workspace 230B. Tasks H and I may be second-level tasks associated with first-level tasks F and/or G, or may be first-level tasks presented in workspace 231B for clarity's sake. Workset 220B also includes tasks H and I, which are presented to the user on a workspace 231B. Workset 220C includes tasks B, D, and E, which are presented to the user on a workspace 230C. For example, workspace 230A may include on or more iViews on a portal page.
The Control Center may be used to unify content across worksets, e.g., by providing cross-workset views. An information level 250 including the Control Center may be proved on top of the worksets (i.e., between the user and the worksets) to support personal action planning ad monitoring across worksets and applications.
The Control Center aims to support generic user needs that originate from general cognitive action planning and control models. For each of these separable perspectives, the Control Center may provide appropriate pages that establish the user experience of a one-stop shopping place for a selected user need.. These pages may include an overview page, an ongoing work page, a personal "day" page, a personal message center page, a personal information page, a personal services page, and a quick launch page.
The overview page may include several iViews which provide a condensed overview about relevant work information. For example, the overview page may include small-variant iViews 405, with condensed content, for, e.g., a personal inbox, new tasks, calendar, and ongoing work pages. The user may navigate to an indicated page, or large format iView, by selecting an object in a corresponding small-variant iView 305. The user may also personalize the overview page by adding and/or removing iViews in the overview page.
The overview page may include a quick launchpad 410. The quick launchpad may have a format determined by the user's role. The quick launchpad may include bullets that represent specific categories that depend from corresponding worksets. The users can use the quick launchpad to navigate to overview pages for the specific worksets and to specific content in a workset.
The user may select a type of content he/she desires an overview of in a selector view 415. The overview of the select5ed content may then be displayed in a content area 420.
The page may include category selectors that let the user control what trigger category should be displayed. When a work trigger is selected, information related to the trigger may be displayed. The page may include an action tool bar that offers direct actions in response to a work trigger. These actions may include, e.g., the instantiation of a new guided procedure in response to a work trigger. Data from a work trigger may be populated into the procedure as required. A viewer for work trigger may depend on the trigger type, e.g., text body, interactive form, or small application (iView).
The personal message center page may be an important work place for many different types of users, including, for example, managers, purchasers, and HR generalists. The manager may use the personal message center page primarily to receive approvals, communicate with team(s), and manage tasks, whereas the purchaser may use the page to receive work items, and the HR generalist to serve employee requests.
The personal message center page may support different means for interacting with the messages and work triggers for different scenarios. In some scenarios, pre-processing may be most effective, whereas in others, sorting into the user's own work context or acting on the messages or work triggers may be more useful. Pre-processing may include, e.g., browsing messages and inspecting new work items using categories as filters. Sorting may include, e.g., prioritizing, and sorting into folders based on type, e.g., "To-Do", reminders, or urgent tasks the today. The user may act on the messages and work triggers in several ways. These may include, e.g.: sending a quick reply; delegating the item; starting a new procedure; ad-hoc clarification; navigating to source or context; monitoring pending communication(s); and archiving communication threads.
The persistence layer 1110 provides the enterprise management consolidation system 1100 with its own database 1112 and data object model 1114. The database 1112 and the object model 1112 provide a consolidated knowledge base to support multiple enterprise management functions, including functions created as cross-applications 1170. Active communication between the persistence layer 1110 and the base systems can provide a tight linkage between real-time operational data from multiple base systems and an integrated enterprise analysis tool to allow strategic enterprise management and planning.
The data object model 1114 can represent a subset of data objects managed by the base systems. Not all of the data aspects tracked in the base systems need to be recorded in the data object model 1114. The data object model 1114 may have defined relationships with data objects stored in the base systems, for example, certain objects in the data object model 1114 may have read-only or read-write relationships with corresponding data objects in the base systems. These types of defined relationships can be enforced through the communication system built between the persistence layer 1110 and the base systems. Thus, the persistence layer 1110 can be used to effectively decouple application development from the underlying base systems.
The cross-functional applications 1170, which take advantage of this decoupling from backend systems to drive business processes across different platforms, technologies, and organizations, can be created using a set of tools, such as the Control Center, that enable efficient development of cross-functional applications 1170. The cross-functional applications 1170 can support semi-structured processes, aggregate and contextualize information, handle event-driven and knowledge-based scenarios, and support a high degree of collaboration in teams, including driving collaboration and transactions. The set of tools enable efficient development of the cross-functional applications 1170 by providing application patterns that support model-driven composition of applications in a service-oriented architecture.
The Control Center may include a set of tools 1160 provides UI patterns that can be used to link new objects and workflow together and generate standardized views into results generated by the cross-functional applications 1170. These tools may include UI frameworks, services, and object views that may be modeled around the objects to support the integration into the Control Center. The dashboard and a myOngoingWork place can be two UI patterns that are provided by the Control Center tools 1160.
Although a number of exemplary Control Center pages have been described, various other pages may be implemented. For example, whenever there is a strategic view on a cross-functional application scenario, analytics of the overall portfolio can be made available in the form of a MyAnalytics page. The MyAnalytics page may include favorite reports, cockpits, charts and other UI components that are used to monitor business processes or to represent a cross-workset report center in itself (similar to the Service Center). The MyAnalytics page may be generated by enumerating worksets and collecting reports. A view selector can be used to display/hide components, and a component can be toggled between graphical and numerical display and can include a drop-down list or menu to select sub-categories or different views. Another exemplary page is a quick launch page that provides access to all overview pages of active roles. The page can be personalized to include favorite services such as business transactions, reports, and business objects. The quick launch page may include a service index with tracking of pending services and displayed announcements of service providers.
Various implementations of the systems and techniques described here can be realized in digital electronic circuitry, integrated circuitry, specially designed ASICs (application specific integrated circuits), computer hardware, firmware, software, and/or combinations thereof. These various implementations can include one or more computer programs that are executable and/or interpretable on a programmable system including at least one programmable processor, which may be special or general purpose, coupled to receive data and instructions from, and to transmit data and instructions to, a storage system, at least one input device, and at least one output device.
These computer programs (also known as programs, software, software applications or code) may include machine instructions for a programmable processor, and can be implemented in a high-level procedural and/or object-oriented programming language, and/or in assembly/machine language. As used herein, the term "machine-readable medium" refers to any computer program product, apparatus and/or device (e.g., magnetic discs, optical disks, memory, Programmable Logic Devices (PLDs)) used to provide machine instructions and/or data to a programmable processor, including a machine-readable medium that receives machine instructions as a machine-readable signal. The term "machine-readable signal" refers to any signal used to provide machine instructions and/or data to a programmable processor.
To provide for interaction with a user, the systems and techniques described here can be implemented on a computer having a display device (e.g., a CRT (cathode ray tube) or LCD (liquid crystal display) monitor) for displaying information to the user and a keyboard and a pointing device (e.g., a mouse or a trackball) by which the user can provide input to the computer. Other kinds of devices can be used to provide for interaction with a user as well; for example, feedback provided to the user can be any form of sensory feedback (e.g., visual feedback, auditory feedback, or tactile feedback); and input from the user can be received in any form, including acoustic, speech, or tactile input.
The systems and techniques described here can be implemented in a computing system that includes a back-end component (e.g., as a data server), or that includes a middleware component (e.g., an application server), or that includes a front-end component (e.g., a client computer having a graphical user interface or a Web browser through which a user can interact with an implementation of the systems and techniques described here), or any combination of such back-end, middleware, or front-end components. The components of the system can be interconnected by any form or medium of digital data communication (e.g., a communication network). Examples of communication networks include a local area network ("LAN"), a wide area network ("WAN"), and the Internet.
The computing system can include clients and servers. A client and server are generally remote from each other and typically interact through a communication network. The relationship of client and server arises by virtue of computer programs running on the respective computers and having a client-server relationship to each other.

A 42-year-old man with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) presented with a 9-month history of progressive hearing loss and bilateral external auditory canal masses. Biopsy of the right ear mass detected Pneumocystis carinii. The patient was treated with a 7-day course of intravenous trimethoprim, followed by a 3-week course of oral trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, with a marked reduction in the size of his ear masses. This is the first reported case of skin involvement by P. carinii in a patient with AIDS. Because of our patient's documented response to treatment, we stress the importance of biopsy of cutaneous lesions in this group of patients, who may have a potentially treatable condition.

USB Keyboard isn't recognized
Long story short -- I needed to use my wireless keyboard and mouse while I was setting up my edit suite in my new office.
Instead of bringing it everyday to work -- I want to rehook up my USB final cut keyboard and mouse.
The problem is -- now the mac will only recognize my bluetooth keyboard and mouse and won't recognize the USB ones.
I obviously can't turn bluetooth off while using the wireless devices. Anyone know the trick?
Im sure it's something simple that I just can't figure out.
Why can't you turn off Blue Tooth if all you have using it is the keyboard and mouse? BT has nothing to do with wireless reception for Airport if that's what you're referring to. Your Airport wireless will continue to work whether or not BT is active.
The mac itself won't let me turn the bluetooth off. The keyboard and mouse run on bluetooth.
Go to System Preferences, Blue Tooth. If it won't allow you to remove the check from "On", try removing the check from the "Discoverable" box. Then shut down the computer. Turn off the BT keyboard and mouse (or remove the batteries) and attach your USB keyboard and mouse and reboot. What happens?
Yea tried that and even reset the SMC thinking that might reset everything.

Startups are getting increased attention from MBAs and they're apparently returning the love, according to a new survey. Business schools report that the largest increase in MBA recruiting activity this past year came not from large or mid-sized companies but from firms that were less than a year old.
The survey, based on responses from 84 business schools, was published July 22 by the MBA Career Services & Employer Alliance, an association of business school career management offices and companies who hire MBA students. The findings show that both on-campus recruiting opportunities and full-time job postings have increased for most schools worldwide in the past year.
But nowhere was that increase greater than in start-up companies. Some 57% of the business schools responding to the survey said that companies in business for 12 months or less had increased their full-time recruiting of MBAs, compared to 41% of large companies with 500 or more employees (see table below).

Friendship Ball symbolizes God's light to one and all
"This Friendship Ball is a symbol of our friendship. It is a never-ending circle that sparkles in the light the way you bring sparkle to my life. The colors swirl and mingle enhancing each other just as we do. This treasure is handmade. It is unique, just like you!"
Brilliant reds, greens, silvers and golds were spinning, sparkling in the early December sunlight. What were all those colors that caught my eye as I was taking a passing glance? Turning my head back to the source of distraction, I saw a widely spread, leafless tree -- most likely a mature dogwood, but I am not a tree expert. It was filled with supersized Christmas balls and baubles. I could not help but be captivated by all the colors shimmering, reflecting the glorious sunlight from above. They reminded me of two things: a "friendship ball" given to our family a couple of years ago, as well as my own love for humble, but shiny Christmas ball decorations.
Completing a brief Internet research, I learned that the Germans, in the early 1800s, were among the first Christians to bring evergreen trees into their homes for Christmas. It is debatable whether the Germans were using the tree to symbolize the wood used to crucify Jesus, to symbolize the tree of knowledge, to symbolize the promise of new, green life that will come eventually in the spring, or merely mimicking the circa-1600 picture in which St. Christopher, carrying baby Jesus on his shoulder, is seen passing under a leafless tree full of a variety of fruits, candies, baskets and objects that looked similar to Christmas balls.
Early German Christmas tree decorations included apples, nuts and berries. Some families added colored paper to their tree to represent angel hair that was caught up in branches. Others used small pieces of tin foil. In addition, according to legend, Martin Luther began the tradition of placing lit candles in the Christmas tree to represent the stars in the heavens on the night of the Christ child's birth for his children. However, whether the tree had lights or not, the idea possessed by numerous original ornaments was to reflect the light in the room, thus symbolizing God's infinite love "reflected" for us in the birth of his only son.
Learning this history gave my adoration of those shiny, metallic Christmas balls new significance. I have always loved them. My Mammaw, my dad's mom, had one of those tin-foil trees, popular in the late 1960s, early 1970s, with the spinning wheel of color at the bottom. While I loved that spinning wheel, I adored more the effect they had on the green metallic balls she hung on that tree. I could sit in her living room, sneaking pieces of her holiday fudge from her candy bowl, and watch that sparkling centerpiece for quite a long time. In fact, years ago, my dad gave me a box of those decades-old green balls and to this day, I still use them.
My Grandmother, my Mom's mom, hung red and gold metallic balls on her tree, as well as these balls that were covered with wound silkened thread. Although I liked the feel of those balls covered with thread, nothing could beat the way those gold and red balls glistened in the Christmas tree lights wound round and round the tree. As a child, I especially loved the ambiance of my grandparent's living room on Christmas Eve, when Pappaw turned off all other lights, except the Christmas tree lights, and then lit a fire in the hearth. "Peace on Earth" was realized, albeit temporarily, in my young mind, and perhaps even my three other siblings, for one shimmering moment. I smile as I write, thinking about both trees.
Which brings me full circle to the present: the friendship ball and my own Christmas balls. Our family just decorated our Christmas tree this past weekend. First went on the twinkling lights. Next, we wound strands of shiny, red, metallic, miniature balls. After that, our first priority was to place 50 or so shiny, metallic balls of red, hot pink, green, cobalt blue, silver and gold. Finally, we filled in with all the other ornaments we have collected over the years -- each one with its own unique story, it seems. Yet, it is those balls, those simple balls -- reflecting and sending out light into our home and those who pass by our home, the true meaning of the season: light, God's light to one and all -- that I most adore.
Finally, I want to round out this column with the friendship ball, given to us by dear friends. It was a Christmas gift a couple years ago that came wrapped with the saying in which I began this column. Not only do I appreciate those words for what it says about our friendship; but now, I take its meaning a step further: "The friendship ball is (also) a symbol of God's promise to us. It is a never-ending circle of love that brings light into our life. His promise swirls and mingles within in each of us who were uniquely made in His image. The ball is a handmade treasure, just as we are a treasure fashioned from God's hands."
There is a saying, "Namaste," spoken at the end of most yoga classes. Though it has different interpretations, the one I like best is this: "The light in me, honors the light within you."
May Christmas balls remind us all of God's infinite light and love sent to us through the birth of his son. Namaste.

In the past, I've written about how you can - and should - protect yourself from too much sun exposure. But if you readers are anything like my kids, well, God help you, first of all, but second, I'm sure many of you didn't take my message to heart and you subjected yourself to the pleasures of too much sun exposure anyway.
Well, if you did that and you got those perfect tans you dream of all winter, I'm sure some of you are now nervously checking yourselves to see if you've developed any skin changes.
So today, a primer on skin cancer.
First, there are 3 common types of skin cancer: squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma, and the most feared, malignant melanoma (even the name sounds evil).
Squamous cell cancers usually present as slowly enlarging growths, patches, or ulcers on a sun-exposed part of the body. Basal cell cancers usually occur on the face or neck as small lumps that don't look like much (I've seen several that were long dismissed as "nothing"). Happily, both these types of cancer are generally slow-growing and not likely to spread, and although they must be treated (they are malignancies, after all), they do not usually require urgent attention.
That's not the case, however, with malignant melanomas because if you wait on one of these, the prognosis is grim, although if caught early, a malignant melanoma can be treated with minimally invasive surgery that can be done as an office procedure, and it tends to have a good prognosis.
Although some people are particularly prone to develop malignant melanomas (the fair-skinned, those with a family history of melanoma, those who suffered one or more severe sunburns as kids, those with multiple moles, even those with lots of freckles), it's important to stress that anyone can get a melanoma. For example, I have a 25-year-old seemingly low-risk friend recently diagnosed with one.
Malignant melanomas occur in melanocytes, the pigment-producing cells of the body, and thus can occur on any part of the body with pigment cells, even the eye (that ought to keep lots of you awake with fear tonight), although they tend to occur more commonly on sun-exposed areas.
How can you tell if you've developed a melanoma? Well, the truth is that it's often very difficult, (some melanomas, for example, have no color). The general rules, however, can be summarized this way: because malignant melanomas most often occur in a pre-existing mole, any change in a mole's color, shape, texture, size, or symptoms (new itching or bleeding, for example) should be checked by a doctor, as should any new growth that doesn't go away quickly. In fact, any skin changes that worry you should be seen by someone who knows what to do.
And finally, a reminder to check your skin often, and as my son likes to remind me, that can be done for you by a member of the opposite sex. At least that's what he said he and his girlfriend were doing for each other on the porch the other day.
Funny position to check the skin, though, if you ask me. And don't they know that it's the sun-exposed areas that need the most attention?

I have been a long time user of Foxmail and recently switched to Pocomail, mainly because of Foxmail's use of MS IE engine.
I just ran into DreamMail, which is very much like Foxmail and which uses MS IE engine as well; unlike Foxmail though, it has much better security settings, since it allows to disable ActiveX (by default) as well as scripts and java if desired. Message preview can also be set to "offline" (default) so no content is downloaded in html messages. It also supports webmail (it read fine my Yahoo mail).
Anyone that is fond of Foxmail should take a look at it:

8. Herbie Jones, RB/LB, 1965
Jones helped Salpointe go 10-0 in the regular season and win its first city championship in football on his was to becoming the first Lancer to be named an All-American. While the 205-pound bruiser easily won the city rushing title with 1,232 yards and scoring title with 116 points in 1964, his work as a linebacker may have been even more impressive. Jones, a two-way star who was named to the Arizona Republic and Arizona Daily Star All-State teams as a senior, was a key player on the area's best defense, which only gave up 58 points in its first 10 games, before losing 20-0 to Mesa Westwood in the state semifinals Jones had one of his best performances in regular-season finale when he rushed for 93 yards and three scores in a 26-0 win over Phoenix Brophy. He surpassed the 1,000-yard mark the week before that when he had 169 yards and another three touchdowns in a 26-0 win against Catalina.

Calling for helpPosted by in Homelessness
Ta daaaa! Here I am showing folks what it sounds like when calling for help. If you've never called around to get into a shelter, here's your chance to see what it's like. I am still amused whenever I see comments out there from people that still think getting out of homelessness must be as simple as just going to a shelter. The reality is, there aren't enough of them and the shelter system needs to do more than be a revolving door. Thanks to budget cuts, loss of jobs and a overwhelming bureaucracy, it should be no surprise to anyone when individuals begin to give up hope.
On a recent visit to the Nickelsville tent city I visited a few days ago, a young mother told me she called 75 shelters and couldn't get in because they had no room. She has only been homeless for about two weeks now. Imagine doing this year after year. Makes living out of a van while working to save money look a whole lot better, doesn't it?

White House Wants To Crack Down On School Discipline Discrimination
Source: AP/theGrio
WASHINGTON — The Obama administration wants to end the apparent disparities in how students of different races are punished for violating school rules. More than half of students in school-related arrests or referred to law enforcement were Hispanic or black, civil rights data show.
"In short, racial discrimination in school discipline is a real problem," according to a letter sent to schools.
Civil rights advocates have long said that a "school-to-prison" pipeline relates to overly zealous school discipline policies targeting black and Hispanic students that bring them out of school and into the court system.
The recommendations being issued Wednesday encourage schools to ensure that all personnel are trained in classroom management, conflict resolution and approaches to de-escalate classroom disruptions.

Middle Eastern carrier Emirates has detailed plans to deploy its new Airbus A380 aircraft on services to London Heathrow from 1 December and to Sydney and Auckland from 1 February 2009, in addition to its Dubai-New York JFK route from October.
Flightglobal.com reported last December that Emirates would use the A380 on the JFK route from 1 October, and the carrier has today confirmed this plan.
Emirates, the largest customer for the A380, will start deploying the aircraft on the Heathrow route from the start of December and on its route to Sydney, Australia, and Auckland in New Zealand the following February. The aircraft will seat 489 passengers: 14 in first class, 76 in business and 399 in economy.
Emirates president Tim Clark says: "Our A380s will take to the skies in late summer, signalling an end to our long wait and ushering in a new era for Emirates.
"While we are still debating our first commercial A380 route, it has always been our intention to fly the aircraft on capacity-constrained trunk routes. The cities that we have now scheduled for A380 services, starting this autumn, bring our plans to fruition."
Emirates has 58 A380s on order and will take delivery of its first five this year. It will also operate some of its A380s in a medium-range three-class 517-seat configuration and a medium-range two-class configuration with 604 seats.

Saw flyers for this game when I was in Seattle. Wish I could've stayed longer to go. The Seattle team will crush the League team.
Hayes could be a good backup PF, and nice insurance if Pendegraph can't come back from injury. The guy can play and crash the boards, which is something the Blazers need more of. Plus, they wouldn't need him to be a scorer in the second unit.
I love Joel, he's one of my all time favorite Blazers and should retire with the team. That being said, the player that returned from injury last season was not the same Joel we'd grown accustomed to crashing the boards and blocking shots. He clearly lost a step and was constantly getting beat down low for rebounds by players with vertical leap ability and healthy legs underneath them.
I wouldn't mind seeing him come back as a coach for the big guys like Greg and Chris Johnson to learn from. I hate to say it, but Joel is probably done as a professional basketball player.
I expect New Orleans to sign Landry once David West bolts. He could get starter minutes and money on the open market. I like his offensive game, but the Blazers need a guy that can crash the boards better than Landry.
I'd like to see them go with a combination of a hopefully healthier Pendegraph and take a flier on a veteran PF/C like Chris Wilcox or dare I say it...Kwame Brown. Players that would come cheaper than Landry.
I wouldn't mind seeing a reunion between James Jones and the Blazers, especially since they need a shooter. I'm not sold on Babbitt or Diegler being that guy yet.
Don't trade Batum! Please...
Miller for Nelson could be a fair deal, straight up without the pick. The Tony Parker trade would be ridiculous and I hope nothing more than a rumor. I think the possibility of trading Batum comes back to haunt the Blazers big time, if it happens. The only reason to move him would be if it gets the Blazers Kemba Walker in return.
I would love to see the Blazers trade up to get Kemba Walker, but what would they have to give up to get him?
I'm glad the team is tight-lipped with their intentions. It makes draft night a little more exciting. Of course, last year I found myself in shock when they traded Marty for Luke Babbit. Hopefully this time they make a move to add more talent to the team.
I like Faried or McCamey if the Blazers stay in the draft. A backup/point guard of the future and backup 4 seem like the top priorities for this team. Of course, I have no idea what the brass is planning with this draft.
Although I would love to see Aaron Brooks in a Blazer uniform as well.
Rodney Stuckey! Make it happen Portland!
I've wanted the Blazers to get this guy for years. He'd be a great fit.
I bet the other teams have far better offers on the table to get him though.
We don't need another injury prone player, though I have to admit the upside potential with this kid is kinda appealing. I digress. He's not the veteran the Blazers need.
I wouldn't be heartbroken if the Blazers took this kid or Faried, but it seems like the best idea would be to trade out of the draft and try to get another veteran that can have an instant impact.
Draft a point guard of the future, who can shoot a little or trade for Johnny Flynn of the T'Wolves. Last I heard, they had become disenchanted with him. A backup at the 4 who could crash the boards would be a nice luxury, but Pendegraph could return to be that guy. A healthier Roy and Oden would also help the Blazers tremendously. We haven't see what this team can do when fully healthy. Could this be the year?
The Pfund who should've got the job in the first place!? Hopefully the management will pull their heads out of you know where and hire this guy soon.
I still love you Mr. Allen! One day you'll deliver my Blazers and my Hawks both a championship. Complaining about a meddling owner, who has deep pockets, wants the team to win and is putting up his own freakin' money to do it is ridiculous. Haters should be ashamed, as with no Paul Allen there would be no NBA in Portland. It's his team to do with as he wants, which is an important thing to keep in mind Period.
Could be worse, recent winning streak aside, having Chuck Armstrong and Howard Lincoln calling the shots. Trust me, Allen isn't that bad.
Why didn't they hire Ferry in the first place, if they were seriously considering him?!
You can blame injuries all you want, but Nate has taken this team as far as he can. He's been great at developing the younger guys into solid NBA players. Unfortunately, his defensive minded, slow half-court approach hasn't worked at all with this current crop of Blazers, who look like they'd much rather be a fast break team. I've even been one of Nate's biggest supporters over the years, but extending his contract early, before the playoffs even began was a huge mistake.
I'm sure people get tired of hearing Rick Adelman's name being constantly brought up, though in my opinion he's a great fit for this team and could lead them to the next level (real contender). I don't understand how Mr. Allen and company can replace a GM seemingly every six months, but hang on to a coach who hasn't won with such a talented group of players yet, injuries aside.
It's time for Nate to go.
Picking him first has already proven to be a mistake, so not re-signing him and letting him walk would make the Blazers look even worse. Imagine he signs with Charlotte or who ever will have him, and then he has a career year. Give Oden what he wants provided he can hold up his end of the bargain by staying healthy.

The winner of the city logo contest has been announced.
More than 500 entries were submitted to Amarillo.com in November, and 30,000 votes were cast.
Now, this logo has come out on top.
Winning logo designer Tyler Mitchell says, "I was just smiling from ear to ear. I couldn't believe it. This is crazy. "
He tells us he was wary about entering the contest because of how many designs he would be up against.
But Mitchell says he gave it some thought, and couldn't pass up representing Amarillo.
He says, "ya know, I should do this because I love my city and I want it to have a good logo."
The winning logo was selected by a team of five people.
One was a city official and the others were from WT and AC.
If you'll remember back in November, this logo was created internally.
But because of an almost identical likeness to one belonging to a Dubai company, the logo was pulled after the city was threated with legal action.
Then the new online contest came about.
A local trademark attorney tells us they did several searches for graphics or design elements of the logo.
"And then we did searches for the wording that appears within the logo.. we did two separate searches. That returned a variety or results form the trademark office and some other online resources," says Chris Stewart.
Stewart tells us they found no proof it was copied.
Mitchell says, "i'm just honored out of how ever many there was. I'm just glad people liked mine enough to vote for it, so thank you thank you thank you."
Aside from having the title of creator of the new Amarillo city logo, Mitchell will also receive a $500 gift card from AGN Media and $1,000 cash from Roasters.
Council members tell us what set Mitchell's logo apart from the other was it had a very civic feel, good color choice and he just kept it simple.

If you've driven past the East Avenue Wegmans you've seen crews have already been demolishing the old building, but on Saturday they cranked it into high gear.
Starting bright and early at 8:30 a.m. crews began taking down the building's roof and exterior walls.
A good portion of the tear down happened on Saturday but demolition will continue throughout March.
The old store will be replaced by an expanded parking lot that will occupy the location. The new store is slated to open up in May.
