John McCain no doubt woke up Wednesday morning asking himself the question that perpetually pesters all losing candidates the day after: What happened?
Trying to determine why once-faithful Republicans chose Tuesday to simply not turn up at the polls, or chose instead to vote for Democrat Barack Obama, is not just a question for the candidate but for the entire party.
Fewer Republicans turned out to vote Tuesday than in any election in 28 years, a key component to the party's crushing defeat in which it lost control of the White House and allowed the Democrats to maintain control of Congress.
Obama beat McCain in the key states of Florida, Virginia and Ohio, all of which went red in 2004.
"The biggest question for Republicans is what this means," said Dan Schnur, a former McCain adviser and a professor of political science at UC Berkeley. "Are we going to get over this quickly, or will it take years to make fundamental changes and come to terms about where we stand as a party?"
GOP insiders are pointing fingers the day after Election Day at many of the specters that haunted the McCain campaign for months -- an association with an unpopular president, an unpopular war, the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression and a candidate who was never fully embraced by his own party.
Just 28 percent of McCain voters were "excited" about the prospect of his becoming president, according exit polls. By contrast, twice as many Obama supporters, 56 percent, were excited about the prospect of an Obama presidency.
An inability to turn out its supporters and an uncertainty about why leaves the party on the shakiest ground in two decades, with GOP insiders speculating where the party goes from here.
"We're all focused on the history nature of Barack Obama's candidacy, but the other story here is that Republicans simply stayed home," said ABC News political consultant and former Pentagon spokesperson Torie Clarke. "Obama didn't do extraordinarily better with young and first-time voters; the Republican Party's base just didn't turn out."
Democratic turnout on Election Day outnumbered Republicans by 7 points, 39 percent to 32 percent -- the smallest Republican turnout since 1980.
It was concerns about the economy that lost the election for McCain, and no amount of additional funding to catch up with the millions Obama spent in advertising could have made up for it, Clarke said.
But even amid such a crisis, another candidate more popular with the GOP's many and sometimes fractious factions -- particularly social conservatives -- could have at least gotten people to show up, she said.
"McCain has always had an uneasy relationship with Republicans," Clarke said, "but that he could not speak to the base of the party raises questions about both his message and the people who were receiving it."
"The party is going to wander around in the wilderness for a while as it works on what its message should be. It will not necessarily be a simple or clean process," she said.
According to Schnur, it is too early to tell if Republicans who flipped for Obama will remain loyal like those Democrats who voted for Reagan in 1980 and again in 1984.
"We'll have to see how Obama performs before we'll know. Unlike swing voters who switched, Republicans just were not motivated," he said.

From our friends at the American Small Business League. We posted an earlier press release from them about Obama's appointment of Karen Gordon Mills as head of the Small Business Administration. The worry was that this would signal that the incoming administration would continue the practice of past administrations of channeling contracts set aside for small businesses to larger firms. This proposed change in federal contracting law indicates that those worries were justified.
Obama To Create Loopholes for Venture Capitalists
Petaluma, Calif. – President-elect Barack Obama is preparing to create
significant changes in federal contracting law that will allow some of
the nation's wealthiest investors to receive federal contracts
earmarked for small businesses. Under the banner of "increasing access
to capital" for small businesses, the policies will allow firms
controlled by individual venture capitalist and even large venture
capital firms to participate in federal small business contracting
The Obama Administration's new pro-venture capital policy could
virtually repeal the Small Business Act for legitimate American small
businesses by modifying the longstanding federal definition of a small
business as "independently owned."
Under the proposed Obama Administration policy, "independently owned"
will be changed to include firms that are not independently owned, but
are actually controlled by wealthy investors and possibly some of the
nation's largest venture capital firms.
Opponents of the new policy say it appears to be designed more to
increase wealthy venture capitalist access to billions of dollars in
federal small business contracts as opposed to "increasing access to
capital" for legitimate small businesses.
If the policy is successfully implemented it could force the average
American small business to compete head-to-head with firms controlled
by wealthy investors for even the smallest government orders for goods
and services. Thousands of middle class jobs could be lost as billions
of dollars in federal small business contracts are diverted to a small
number of venture capitalist controlled firms.
The plan will likely include a provision that would exempt the venture
capitalist owned firms from capital gains taxes. The Obama-Biden
Transition Team website, www.change.gov mentions such a proposal.
The appointment of multi-millionaire venture capitalist Karen Mills to
head the Small Business Administration (SBA) is the latest indication
that President-elect Obama is moving forward with his plans to divert
government small business contracts to venture capital controlled
The National Venture Capital Association (NVCA) and its members have
been lobbying for the new loophole in federal contracting law for more
than two years. The NVCA and its members have contributed millions of
dollars to Obama and key Democratic leaders in Congress such as Nancy
Pelosi, John Kerry, Joe Lieberman and Hillary Clinton.
"The easiest and quickest way to stimulate our nation's failing
economy is for the government to spend infrastructure funds with
America's 27 million small businesses that create all the new jobs and
employ most Americans," American Small Business League President Lloyd
Chapman said. "This new Obama policy will do just the opposite and
will push our economy closer to a depression by diverting billions of
dollars in federal funds away from middle class America and into the
hands of small number of wealthy investors that backed Obama."

Recipe by Stephanie Garcia
"A thick hearty soup that's truly low fat, and packed with flavor. Quick and easy to make, this is a very satisfying meal. You won't believe it's not fattening!"

1 (16 ounce) package
frozen loose-pack hash brown potatoes with onion and peppers
2 (10.5 ounce) cans
fat-free chicken broth
1 (2.5 ounce) package
fat free country-style gravy mix
1/2 cup
1/2 cup
chopped green onion for topping
1 cup
shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese
***** + more. I followed the recipe exactly the first time. Very good. Thick soup. Want a thinner soup; add milk. If you don't have time and want a very fast potato soup, this is the recipe. Have more time and want a better tasting soup, use fresh potatoes. The second time I used fresh cubed potatoes, sliced baby carrots, one stalk celery and a little parsley. Excellent. This soup would be very good served in a bread bowl. It is a very good tasting basic recipe that you can make your own. The secret ingredient is the country gravy mix. If you don't like onion and red pepper for the original recipe, use hash browns without the onion and pepper for the fast version. Don't like carrots or celery for the fresh potato version, don't add. You could also add ham or cooked crumbled bacon at the end and warm through. I have been looking for a good potato soup without cheese for quite some time. I finally found it. If you want, you could add cheese to this soup also and it would be very good. Like I said, this is a very good basic soup that you can tweak to your own liking. Thank you Stephanie.
This was all right. I found it a bit bland so I spiced it up with extra salt, pepper, and a cajun-type seasoning. It is not a bad soup, but I probably won't make it again.

This was great! Very filling! I didn't have any of the frozen hash browns, so I just used fresh potatoes, bell pepper, and onion, measuring out the 16 ounces total. It added a little time for chopping, but it worked out great. I did add a little parsley and some pepper and used fat free cheddar and chives since that's what I had. I will make it again soon!
Holy cow, Stephanie. You outdid yourself on this one. I can hardly believe that so few ingredients are capable of turning out a soup with the rich and creamy taste that this soup has. It's a piece of cake to make and so amazingly good. It really tastes as if a master chef had prepared it for an upscale restaurant. I only have one caveat to share. I could not find the fat-free country style gravy mix. If anybody knows where this can be found or even what brand to look for, I would appreciate the help. I went to two different stores and still couldn't find the fat free stuff. So, I settled on Williams Brand Country Style Gravy Mix. For those of you that are nutritionally conscious, there are 15 fat calories per serving and 40 calories per serving in the package I used (37% of the gravy mix calories are fat calories). Though I'm not a dietician, with the no-fat potatoes and nearly fat-free chicken broth reducing the impact of the gravy mix's contribution to overall fat in the recipe, I suspect this is still an acceptable low-fat choice. Though I suppose you probably shouldn't have 2 1/2 large bowls like I just did. I couldn't help myself. Honest.
This soup is great. I added extra onion flakes and garlic powder for more flavor. I also used a gravy mix with pepper. Compliments to Stephanie.
This was quick and easy! The peppers and onion in the frozen potatoes give it a nice flavor and the pepper in the gravy mix seasons it perfectly! We had it without the green onions and cheese and it was thick and delicious. I would make this again with no changes.
I loved this soup, the country gravy really made it unique. I used regular because I could not find fat free. I used a larger bag of hash browns and i think next time i would add more chicken broth and another gravy packet. I also plan on adding some diced ham next time I make it.
This soup is great low-fat meal. It is very filling, and cheap to make. Spice it up to your liking, but either way you won't beleive the low amount of calories, for all of the flavor you get.
2 thumbs up!

March 3, 2013
BEAUMONT - Former Lamar University golfer Dawie Van Der Walt picked up the biggest win of his professional career Sunday as he won the Tshwane Open by two strokes over fellow South African Darren Fichardt.
The win, which came in South Africa but is considered a European Tour event, will give Van der Walt his 2013 European Tour card. The Tshwane Open is one of six European Tour events held in South Africa, five of which were won by South Africans.
"You can only imagine what it's like to win such a big one," said Van der Walt. "I'm just really happy that I played well and won, because you can play well and not win. I don't know what I'll do yet. The purses are a lot bigger in The European Tour so I'll have to rethink some things."
Four players began the final day tied for the lead at 16-under-par. Van der Walt was able to pick up an eagle on the par-5, 685-yard fourth hole, the longest hole in European Tour history. He would birdie two of the next three holes at The Els Club Copperleaf to begin his march to victory.
Van der Walt opened the tournament with a 68 and followed with a 65 to head into the weekend at 11-under-par. He posted a pair of 67s on the weekend to pick up the first place prize money which totaled nearly $742,000.
Van der Walt was the 2007 Southland Conference Tournament champion and Player of the Year and a three-time Ping All-American. He finished fourth individually at the 2006 NCAA Championships, and helped the Cardinals tie for third at the 2007 NCAA Championships.
Fellow Lamar golfing alum Oliver Bekker tied for 21st place at 12-under-par to earn nearly $50,000.

I'm trying to create two columns next to each other. I figured the easiest way to do this would be to float them but for some reason their not appearing next to each other. Please help!
Simple put: Why aren't these two floated divs appearing adjacent to each other?
Update: This can probably be ignored now. I found Chris' All About Floats screencast and about a minute in I came to realize only one div needs to be floated, not both.
I can take a guess as to why it wasn't working before you removed one of the floats. The two floats width, padding, and border added up were greater than the container width.

|Primary Completion Date:
|December 2008 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Drug: fondaparinux
The incidence of obesity is growing at an alarming pace and has reached epidemic proportions. Subjects who are more than 100 pounds over their ideal body weight are classified as being morbidly obese and are considered to carry a high risk for multiple chronic medical conditions that impact quality of life and shorten life span. As a result of obesity, these individuals are also at a higher risk for developing life-threatening blood clots. Such risk is further elevated with exposure of obese subjects to the stress of surgery. In fact, the most common cause of death after major surgery in morbidly obese subjects is the migration of blood clots to the lung and heart. With the current rise in popularity of weight loss surgery, it has become imperative that we identify a medication that is safe and effective in preventing the formation of blood clots. Fondaparinux has the potential for being an effective anti-clotting drug. It is superior to other similar drugs because it is completely utilized by the body, and has a more predictable action. The problem, however, is that the recommended doses for fondaparinux were obtained after studies on lean individuals. This is a fixed dose that is administered universally, regardless of the size of the subject. Presently, we have no information on what the recommended doses should be for morbidly obese subjects, who are in the most need for effective anti-clotting medication. This study will attempt to determine whether a fixed dose or a weight-related dose is appropriate for morbidly obese subjects, and also investigate the safety of administering weight-based dosing to these individuals.

Acquired in 2002, it is now one of the many successful programs for the Town of Guilderland's Department of Parks and Recreation . If golf is your game, whether playing the blue, white, or the ever demanding red course, Western Turnpike promises an unparalleled experience with its outstanding greens and challenging layout.
In addition to the 27 holes of golf, we offer all of the practice facilities you could ask for, restaurant and banquet services, 200 acres of fabulous green space, and an outdoor picnic pavilion. During the off-season we offer a heated driving range, x-country skiing, and ice skating to make those long winter months a little shorter. Stop by and pay us a visit. We look forward to seeing you!
Course History
In 1929 the Realty Golf Corporation, the holder of two golf courses in the Albany area, was forced to liquidate as a result of the great depression. The Stanford Golf Course, formerly located at the Mohawk Mall site was turned over to shareholders, while CEO Ned Vrooman held the Western Turnpike Golf Course. Around 1950 the course would be turned over to the Szatkowski family to own and operate for over sixty years. In 2002 the course was purchased by The town of Guilderland.

I use this helmet for skating and I've taken some hard hits on pavement with this helmet, smashing a big flat spot on it, and it protected me very well. Its comfortable, light, the liners are easy to adjust size with and also are easy to remove and attach. They stay attached well.
The only complaint I have is this helmet dents very easily its purely cosmetic though.

DETROIT—Ms. Sophie, who immigrated from Northern China, watch Shen Yun perform in Detroit with her husband and daughter on Jan. 26.
Sophie said that many traditional Chinese values and culture can be seen in Shen Yun's performance. As she was speaking, she began to choke up: "I was touched, to be able to see a performance of traditional Chinese culture in the West. I thought … Chinese people in America, seeing traditional things from China. It is very touching."
"It is very rare to have such pure Chinese culture, such as Shen Yun … without any gimmicks, without any flamboyant designs. It is simply a pure performance of culture. In China, cultural performances all have different things mingled into it. It is not pure; there is less and less [pure culture]. If Shen Yun can go to Mainland China, it will be magnificent," Ms. Sophie said.
She also said: "During the intermission, I saw a girl from China calling her friends, telling them that when she was watching Shen Yun. She cried. It was very touching."
'An Invigorating Performance'
Karen, who was dressed in a qipao, also immigrated from China. She watched the show with her boyfriend from a Western country. "This is the most outstanding Chinese cultural performance I have seen in my life. I am very grateful for the [Shen Yun] performance."
"After watching Shen Yun, I feel energized," she said.
'Nothing like Shen Yun in China'
Li Xin (an alias) just immigrated from Shandong to America a year ago. She saw the performance with her husband last year, and together they came again this year. Li stated that she truly enjoyed it.
Shen Yun's "costumes and colors are such that you can't see them in China today. The colors are very beautiful." She also said: "Shen Yun's performance is very traditional; you cannot see it in China anymore."
She mentioned that some of the dances were about how Falun Gong practitioners have stood firm in their beliefs even under the CCP's persecution. Falun Gong, a spiritual group, has been persecuted in since 1999.
Li Xin said that she has many relatives who have endured similar persecution, but they have now immigrated to America, where they can freely practice Falun Gong.
Shen Yun Makes Her Proud of Her Heritage
Ms. Liu is a Chinese engineer living in Detroit. "I am ecstatic to see our traditional dances being shown around the world. Such grandeur in style, such excellence in technology—I am hoping that I can bring my mother along next time," she said.
"Seeing so many Americans and people of other nationalities loving our culture, I am so proud," she added.
Seeing so many young artists in the performance, she said that "I am very surprised. It is great seeing so many young people promoting our culture. I am delighted."
Ms. Liu was very happy that the official sponsor, Michigan's Falun Dafa Association, has brought the show to the area.
Erhu virtuoso: Bringing Back Memories of My Homeland
Ms. Wei from China is a erhu virtuoso. During her interview with the reporter, she said "I love the performance. It makes me homesick."
"The performance is great, and the reputation of the performance has preceded itself. For a long time I have wanted to come, but I didn't make it. A good friend of mine who also lives in the U.S. told me the show was great last year after watching it. So, here I am."
Chinese lawyer: Hoping China Will be Under the Grace of God
Wu Zhaohui is a lawyer from China who has arrived in the U.S. just 4 months ago. Today she brought along family and friends, a total of nine people, to see Shen Yun perform on the afternoon of Jan. 26.
"I have never seen such an exquisite performance. Throughout the show, tears just kept coming down my cheeks. I am speechless for at how excited and joyful I am," she said.
As a lawyer, Ms. Wu is fully aware of the evil nature of the Communist regime because she has experienced it first hand in real life. Seeing the program showing the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners, she was deeply touched.
Though it was performers who acted out the persecution on stage, in reality, it has accurately portrayed the situation in China. Seeing the last program Divine Mercy, she said, was just like the prophecy, adding her "Hope that China will be under the grace of Gods."

It's been coming for some time; now it's here.
And I'll be very surprised if it doesn't change
some things.
We've been eager to get our hands on a
Rebel 20 since the prototypes showed up on
video many months ago. Some people will call
it boutique gear, and it is clearly a pro-level
amp, but there's a far broader appeal here
than the term boutique usually implies. For
starters, it's lightweight (and an easy rig to find
room for) but it's loud enough to sound like it
should take up a lot more space. That's good
and loud. It's also sturdily built, uncomplicated,
and visually appealing. Oh, and it's got seriously killer tone.

We are thinking about booking a trip to NYC for the 2007 Macy's Thanksgiving parade. Our plan is to stay at either the Millenium Broadway or Doubletree Times square in a "parade view room".
I know the main TV show stop for the parade is down Broadway well past these hotels, but does anything happen in times square it self?
Also are there any tricks to scoring a set of tickets to the Radio city music hall Christmas show? I seem to remember they go on sale sometime in the spring.
Any other parade hints, or suggestions for a good Turkey day dinner would be appreciated.

The Geechee is "kind of like a bourbon-based white Russian," explains Proof's Craig Nelson.
Nelson is mixing the drink for chef BJ Dennis' pop-up supper at the bar this Sunday. The cocktail of bourbon, coffee liqueur, sugar and cream will accompany dishes, including butterbean-and-tomato salad and turkey wing peanut stew.
"The original calls for whipped cream, but we'll probably use some egg white for the frothiness," says Nelson, who was entrusted with the recipe by its originator's son.
Whipped cream and coffee liqueur, unlike butterbeans and peanuts, aren't considered standard Gullah-Geechee ingredients. But the drink recalls Charleston's more recent past, since it was created by Eddie Matthews, who served as the Mills Hyatt House's bartender for 16 years. Matthews, who died in 1988, was also head bartender at the Francis Marion Hotel's Swamp Fox Room.
On the occasion of Matthews' passing, Edwin Pearlstine Jr. of Pearlstine Distributors sent a letter to The News and Courier.
"Eddie was a gentleman and a true friend to all of those who availed themselves of his hospitality," he wrote. "Eddie was one of those people who truly made Charleston a better place to live."
The Mills Hyatt House, which was designed as a reproduction of the 1853 hotel named for Charleston businessman Otis Mills, opened in 1970. The original grand hotel was sold numerous times; it was known as the St. John Hotel when it shed the last remnants of its antebellum elegance. (In 1942, the hotel advertised for a dishwasher: "Experienced," the classified ad insisted. "No drunks need apply.")
Although investors initially planned to renovate the hotel, it was in such poor condition that they were forced to demolish it. The new Mills Hyatt Hotel featured a chandelier from Nashville, Tenn.'s Belle Meade Plantation, furniture chosen by the man who decorated the White House for the Kennedys, and The Best Friend Bar, headed up by Matthews.
Whether The Geechee was on the bar's opening menu is uncertain, but the recipe is very much in keeping with the period's drink trends: Sweet, dessert-style drinks that combined booze with ice cream shop flavors were supremely fashionable in the 1970s.
At some point, Matthews entered The Geechee in a national contest sponsored by Old Crow Light Whiskey, a bourbon devised to satisfy baby boomers' thirst for light-bodied spirits. His recipe won second place.
Matthews' Mills Hyatt House colleague, John Williams, submitted a drink that was perhaps even more stylish than The Geechee. Williams' Old Crow Light cocktail incorporated curacao, white creme de cacao and Galliano, the Italian liqueur that the Harvey Wallbanger made famous. During the decade that cocktail writer Robert Simonson has referred to as the "Death Valley of cocktail eras," Galliano was the nation's top-selling liqueur.
Alas, the New York judges weren't impressed. "The 'Barbadian Booster' is a local favorite, although it didn't gain national recognition," a Hyatt newsletter reported.
The 7 p.m. dinner at Proof costs $40, including cocktails (Nelson vows none of them will feature Old Crow Light). For more information, call 793-1422 or stop by the bar at 437 King St.

Ce commentaire est de: Forces for Good: The Six Practices of High-Impact Nonprofits (Hardcover)
After completing five years of rigorous and extensive research on 1,435 "Fortune 500" companies during a 30-year period (1965-1995), Jim Collins and his associates selected only eleven that met their admittedly "very tough standards" for greatness. (Note: Collins also wrote Good to Great and the Social Sectors: A Monograph to Accompany Good to Great, published four years later.) Leslie Crutchfield and Heather McLeod Grant acknowledge that Collins' book was a "real inspiration to them" as they surveyed more than 2,000 CEOs of nonprofits before selecting only twelve for examination in their book, Forces for Good. As is true of several other outstanding business books, the work on this one was driven by a question: "What makes great nonprofits great?" What Crutchfield and McLeod learned is shared in this volume.
It is worth noting that, until recent years, most of the books and articles about nonprofits (at least those with which I am familiar) suggested that they had much to learn from exemplary for-profit organizations. It may have been Peter Drucker who first recognized that the business world could learn much of value from studying the best-managed nonprofits. He wrote an article published in Harvard Business Review in July of 1989, "What Business Can Learn from Nonprofits," that was later reprinted in Peter Drucker on the Profession of Management, in 1998. Drucker suggests that The Salvation Army is characteristic of the best nonprofit organizations, especially in terms of motivating knowledge workers and increasing their productivity. In successful nonprofit enterprises, "amateurs are being replaced with unpaid staff members, many of whom are managers and professionals in their for-pay jobs. They volunteer because they believe in the mission; they stay because they are given responsibility for meaningful tasks, held accountable for their performance and rewarded with training and the chance to take on more demanding assignments."
According to Crutchfield and Grant, high-impact nonprofits (i.e. those who have "created real social change...have come up with innovative solutions to social problems, and have spread these ideas nationally or internationally") demonstrate all or most of six practices:
1. They both advocate what is urgently needed and commit resources in response to that need
2. Are "pragmatic idealists" who combine social values with business "smarts" to "make markets work"
3. Build a community of evangelists as a powerful force for social change by communicating their mission, vision, and values as well as creating meaningful experiences
4. Adopt and maintain a network mind-set to share resources and empower other organizations
5. Constantly adapt and modify their tactics and initiatives while maintaining "the balance between stifling bureaucracy and unbridled creativity"
6. Support growth by developing high-impact leadership internally, widely distributing authority as well as responsibility among those involved in the given enterprise
Crutchfield and Grant devote a separate chapter to each of these six, then suggest in Chapter Nine how to put them in action. By now they have answered the original question. Great nonprofits are great because they are "working with and through others, as counterintuitive as that might seem. It's about leveraging every sector of society to become a force for good....[moreover] high-impact organizations bridge boundaries and work with others to achieve greater levels of change than they could accomplish alone."
What about all the other nonprofits? How can they make what Collins characterizes as a "leap" from being only mediocre or good to great? Stated another way, how can these other nonprofits also become effective agents of change and have high-impact? Those who lead them "need to bridge boundaries and understand how to influence without authority. They will need to see the larger system and their role in it - not just their own interests...[They must] be influential enough to convince the CEOs of global corporations to change their ways, and to make the business case, as well as the moral case, for doing so...Above all else, nonprofit leaders must learn how to share power an empower others - if they aren't already doing so." The six practices can help to guide and inform their efforts while leading the change initiatives that are needed. What to do and where to start? For specific and practical advice, please see Figures 9.1-9.6 inserted sequentially throughout pages 214-220. That advice is best revealed within the narrative so I shall say no more about it.
Because the nature of philanthropy is changing as donors seek more evidence of impact from their donations, even the high-impact nonprofits must make adjustments to sustain their effectiveness and thereby their appeal to benefactors. "Rather than just providing services or a basic charity, they're doing much more. In the process, they are redefining what it means to be an effective nonprofit." Keep in mind that in this context, Crutchfield and Grant are talking about the twelve exemplary nonprofits. Even they must complete the transition from the old paradigm to the new paradigm. (Please see Exhibit 9.8 on page 223.) "Non profits operate at the intersection of society's major sectors. The best of these organizations take advantage of their unique role and their unprecedented opportunity to create greater impact. To win at the social change game, it's not about being the biggest or the fastest or even the best-managed, nonprofit. The most powerful, influential, and strategic organizations [begin italics] transform others [end italics] to become forces for good."
The importance of adaptability cannot be exaggerated. At one point in their narrative, they refer to The Starfish and the Spider: The Unstoppable Power of Leaderless Organizations in which Ori Brafman and Rod Beckstrom examine the impact of decentralized networks. "Spider organizations have rigid hierarchies, top-down leadership, and centralized decision-making" whereas "Starfish [organizations] are highly decentralized, relying on peer-to-peer relationships, widely distributed leadership, and collaborative communities united by shared values. Decapitate a spider and it will die; with the headless starfish, cut off an arm and it will regenerate into a new arm while the old arm grows into a new starfish. That is why Crutchfield and Grant view the starfish model as a perfect metaphor for nonprofits. Hence the title of this review.
Those who share my high regard for Leslie Crutchfield and Heather McLeod Grant's brilliant book are urged to check out the aforementioned Drucker article as well as Braufman and Beckstrom's book. Also, Drucker's Managing the Nonprofit Organization: Principles and Practices, Tom Ralser's ROI For Nonprofits: The New Key to Sustainability, a Dean Spitzer's Transforming Performance Measurement, and Enterprise Architecture As Strategy co-authored by Jeanne W. Ross, Peter Weill, and David Robertson.

I had read through this book about a month ago and I'm still pondering the data that's presented in this book. The subject matter is really well presented in a logical order and as the reader you also get to benefit from some great story telling that drives you on to learn more. This book would be helpful for anyone that is involved in any kind of not for profit organization or anyone looking to start one. I will be re-reading this one

motu-nui romneys - QUALITY rams for new zealand hill country
Motu-nui Romneys are breeders of high performance Romney stud rams. We are specialists in rams and terminal sires bred specifically for the tough conditions of New Zealand hill country.
Based at the 680ha ICA Station at Whareama on the East Coast of the Wairarapa and carrying around 4,000 ewes, we produce a Romney ram that will deliver real returns to you, the commercial farmer.
With 'efficiency' and 'hardiness' our top breeding objectives, Motu-nui aims to breed ewes that can wean their body weight on summer dry hill country.
Motu-nui Romneys are deeper and shorter than the traditional Romney and hold on superbly well in tough seasons while still delivering strong yields.
See the Motu-nui Romneys story from Rural TV
Rural TV recently aired this story about Motu-nui Romneys.
"This week we catch up with the many families that now make up the Motu-nui brand of sheep genetics spanning from Taihape to Southland, with the hub of the operation based at ICA Station."
"Tony Glynn, of RuralTV.co.nz, meets with the satelite studs of Bruce and Carolyn Robertson at Motu-nui South near Wyndham and Donald & Sandra Fannin of Motu-nui Hiwi near Taihape, who were both well established Romney studs in their own right before coming under the Motu-nui umbrella.
"We also catch up with Davey & Wendy Moore who look after the terminal rams at Holmwood, and Mike & Kate Tosswill who look after the composite rams at Pakaraka, both near Masterton.
"According to Castlepoint Station manager, Stu Neale, the Motu-nui rams are no-nonsense sheep bred on steep hill country."

Do We Get What We've Paid For?
We need to ask hard questions about the dramatic disparities in health care spending that can be seen around the nation.
Twenty-five years ago, Allen Blume proclaimed a heresy. He stated without equivocation that the phony idealism of the 1960s was in fact a cheap veneer, concealing a new barbarism. He saw the entire elite liberal establishment culture as having a perverted vision. Despite the protestations of diversity and multiculturalism, the truth is we have fallen into an anti-dogmatic dogma which has brought us to an intellectual crisis. "We no longer think about the things we must think about to live truly human lives," said Blume. We live in an age where confident assertions of moral truths and genuine inquiry are gone. Postmodern liberalism seeks to build a culture of moral relativism, where no one can be hurt by the truth because all truth is relative.
I'm a Blumist. There, I've said it. I've come out of the intellectual closet. I agree with him when he says that, "The relativity of truth is not a theoretical insight but a moral postulate." From this vantage point I intend to challenge an array of topics that have become off-limits and unchallengeable in the medical intellectual community. The first dragon I intend to reduce to a piquant snack is that there is some relationship between the amount of money spent on healthcare and healthcare outcomes. You're invited to this bacchanalia, but be warned: You can bring your own opinions, but not your own facts.
Let's go to the magic box: Google. Search the internet for "life expectancy by state Medicare expenditures." Alternatively, you can Google the "Dartmouth Health Atlas" or the "Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation." It doesn't matter; they agree on the basic facts:
The state of Hawaii has the nation's best longevity (81.5 years) yet they spend less than a third per elderly person in the Medicare program as the state of New York. Spend less, live longer. Is anyone taking notes? Let's take a mainland example since some of you are going to say that Hawaiians stay healthy by doing Tai Chi in the morning. I think that's a bogus argument, but let's look at South Dakota and Florida. Both are mainland states, both eat beef and have similar adult smoking habits. South Dakotans live longer and spend less than one third per person in the Medicare program than does the state of Florida. Here's a stat that will blow your mind. If we sent South Dakota the same dollars that we send to the state of Florida for Medicare, the state of South Dakota could pay for all college, roads, prisons and still have a surplus. And don't think you can explain the longevity in South Dakota by its abundance of great medical centers, "easy lifestyle" (have you been to Sioux Falls in the winter?), a surfeit of doctors or technology.
Of course, once again, we must be geographically specific: we can't pick on the entire state of Florida because the variations within its borders are unbelievable. Medicare expenditures per person in the Fort Myers area are about half as those in the Miami area. Explain please. By the way, Miami is one of the bellwethers for spending. The Dartmouth Atlas study says that the cost in the best big city in America for longevity – Minneapolis – is less than a third the cost in Dolphin land.
Say what you will, these destinations do not represent areas of medical paradise. But on we work from sun up to sun down, asking no basic questions, accepting the basic dictates that more healthcare is better and that the federal government is here to explain it all to us intellectual toads.
I agree with Blume that the dogma completely stifles questions as to why these facts exist. We are in need of a reunification of the universal desires of all cultures throughout time; we need to return to the discipline of desires, direct ourselves towards goals and ideals, and inculcate feelings of intellectual shame when we fail. All is not relative; there are ideas worth fighting for.
In his critique of Plato's Dialogues, which is where I first met Professor Blume, he asserted that Socrates challenged his interlocutors to unleash the shackles of prevailing beliefs. Blume thought that attacking convention was the key to deeper truths, and the way to seek our ultimate goal, which is better health and not just new ways of financing the status quo.
Truth is a cruel mistress, giving no quarter, asking no tribute except respect. The endless chattering of our governmental machinery with their seven-second sound bytes and simplistic syllogisms seems positively Swiftian. We need a Virgil to guide us through this intellectual inferno.

If you want insight into the cost differences and why they have no effect or even negative effects (more money spent for worse outcome). I suggest you begin by considering the sophistication of the local vendors of care in terms of there ability to focus on profit over outcome. Florida is a haven for exploitation of the system ranging from outright fraud and abuse, to "well run" (from a business perspective) medical practice and supporting industry. High cost comes in two flavors, Old school was just independent doctors doing unneeded procedures, New school costs are seen in those areas that have "evolved" in the "medicine as business" model. it comes in many varieties. But the bottom line is they have learned how to extract megadollars from the system in some niche area. sometimes "legally" and sometimes not. Make no mistake. their methods will continue to spread. There is likely already a conference telling you how to cash in for more bucks in your chosen niche. And if you already have something working, a larger entity might interested in acquiring it for their equity partners and leveraging it even further.

What is your opinion of the argument that some health disparities are inevitable based on socioeconomic class?
# response — 2012-08-28 09:43
My thanks to those who wrote in. Now I know that at least two people are reading the column. Dr Swidler raises an interesting point and that is more people are getting rich off disease than dying from it. If you pay a doctor to order tests and do things...they will do things that till we stop them. This is human nature. OK, I get that but it is much more complex than that. This does not explain hugh state by state variations. I think it is multifactorial. This is a cultural belief problem. People in Florida do not see themselves as a part of the cosmos. No matter how much money is spent they will not have a meaningful life or dignified end of life until we learn to deal with death as a normal part of life. You can not escape the cycle. Do you realy want to die in a hospital vomiting from radiation and chemotherapy or at home with people you love. Is CHF really better in the hospital? We need the national conversation for the largest part of the GDP. That's what presidents are for in my opinion. As to two levels of health care I think there will always be some advantage to being rich. But that is for only a minor number of things. Rich people do better because, as a group, they make better life choices. When are we going to realize that we are the masters of our own fate. High quality lives are most often the results of excellent attitude,thinki ng about issues and a belief in something. Greg

"We are in need of a reunification of the universal desires of all cultures throughout time..." That's going to be a very short list.
To paint with a very broad brush, it's a given that both the quality of life and life expectancy of a state full of Lutheran farmers is going to be markedly different than that of that of a state full of tequila and percocet swilling Jimmy Buffet fans who used to live in New York city. Or perhaps the level of health care spending unleashed by physicians in Florida is related to the population of suit-wearing land sharks there.
Or perhaps the bottom line is that while the presence of health care spending seems to have little effect, its absence (perhaps past a certain point) has a dramatic one. If this is in fact the case, living the next decade or two under the affordable care act will surely enable us to find out where that point is through a process of trial and error. Just make sure you have really good malpractice insurance for the trip.

If you create additional sites on your Cytanium account, or if for some reason you delete your main site and recreate it, then you'll probably want to set up the Web Deployment (management) services so that you can publish content from WebMatrix or the Visual Studio tools.
[Updated 1/17/12 to match the upgraded control panel interface.]
When you go to view your Web Site properties from the control panel you will see a number of tabs along the top of the interface. The Web Deploy service is set up on the Web Publishing tab.
On the Web Publishing tab it will confirm for you whether the management service is enabled or not. It also has fields to let you customize (if desired) the username for you to publish with, and the associated password.
When you confirm the username and desired password, then click Enable and you'll see a dialog confirming that the Web Deploy service is being set up:
After just a moment you will see the Management tab screen again but with a green message confirming that the service was successfully configured.
At this point you can now publish your content from any tool that leverages Microsoft's Web Deploy services.

A Gildona Drive resident, who was known to have firearms, bolted out his backdoor when police arrived at his home after receiving a call that he was suicidal, Perkins police Chief Ken Klamar said.
A 6-foot privacy fence separates the Gildona Drive home from the school, but police put Furry Elementary School into lockdown mode at 11:21 a.m. as a precaution.
Officers soon arrested the man in his own backyard.
Though a witness said the man had a gun, police didn't find one when they stopped him.
He was taken to the Perkins police station to be questioned and the Furry lockdown was lifted after about 15 minutes.

That place is cool! Food is great and stuff are easy going and nice. At first, from the outside I was thinking it`s a typical Asian food store and ran there for Shrimp fried rise, but instead discover a casual place with New Yorkers work inside and who speak perfect English so I didn`t faced a troubles to order my food the way I want it . I`ve been living in Williamsburg for period of time and Wacky Wok rather belongs there, I totally do not understand what the bad reviews are all about.
Posted by Looking for Flavor nto Bland & Sauceless food on 03/13/2012
A little disappointing for expensive take out. Unless, of course you like everything bland and dry. Ordered the Peking Duck Buns, looked decent at first, until you take a bite. Not enough Hoisin sauce. Yucca fries came without the lime sauce, so they were dry. Coconut Lemongrass ckn soup, no flavor. Soup tasted watered down and no hint of lemongrass to be found. Pad Thai rice noodles ordered with the Wacky Wok House sauce. I guess they forgot to add it because that was also dry! The noodles were all stuck together. Last but not least, I had the Ckn wings which had sauce but Ckn was soggy not crunchy. With a take out price of $26.00, I will not be ordering from this overpriced joint again.

Tried this place for delivery tonight. Super fresh, clean, yummy good at a great price. Staff was extremely helpful and friendly, delivery came quick. Will def order again soon. Cant wait to try more.
Posted by EastVillager on 11/07/2011
Tried take out from Wacky Wok and it was the best and freshest Chinese food that I have had in the neighborhood. Made my own dish and of delicious tofu and eggplant with jasmine rice and house sauce (the small size was more than adequate for one). This is a really good alternative if you want healthy at a reasonable price.
Posted by Anonymous on 08/14/2011
This place has become our new favorite take out. We always make our own dish so I can't speak of the others on the menu. The vegetables are fresh and the chicken is great! During delivery the sauce usually sinks to the bottom of the container but if you mix it up before starting to eat it's wonderful.
Posted by anonymous on 03/05/2011
I ordered the Malayasian curry sauce with shrimp. The shrimp were miniscule in size and few in number. The "sauce" was truly non-existent. The dish tasted only of smoky oil. I have been unable to get rid of the oil taste in my mouth and it is now the next day. The best part of the meal...... the delivery was fast.
Posted by Maria on 12/24/2010
Anyone that gave this take-out place a bad review just does not appreciate fresh, good, healthy food! So, sometimes they get the ingredients wrong, but it is still delicious. The rainbow rice is to die for! The wacky wok or barbeque sauce is my favorite. The food is stir fried fresh and not drowning in sauce like in a cheap chinese take out place. Wait, did someone actually complain about PICKING YOUR OWN INGREDIENTS? This is a PLUS, not a minus. Can't tell you how many times I have to ask a regular chinese place to add a different ingredient because none of their regular dishes have all of the veggies I want in it. If you want healthy, high quality food and exactly what YOU want, then Wacky Wok is the place to go.

bareMinerals Flashback Eyeshadow Duo Review, Photos, Swatches
bareMinerals The Flashback Eyeshadow Duo
bareMinerals The Flashback Eyeshadow Duo
bareMinerals The Flashback Ready Eyeshadow Duo ($20.00 for 0.10 oz.) contains two shades: Deja Vu and Amnesia. The duo will debut in October, and it's touted as a solid eyeshadow with SeaNutritive Mineral Complex (which includes sea minerals with antioxidants, cold-pressed borage oil, caffeine, and cucumber) that delivers "anti-aging benefits for a softer, smoother, revitalized eye area." The new solid eyeshadow is described as "creamy, silky smooth" with "seamless blendability" with "stay-true color" that can be worn alone and is long-wearing and "won't smudge or run."
- Deja Vu is a bright, metallic silver with a smooth, metallic sheen. It is similar to Inglot #448, just a touch cooler in tone.
- Amnesia is a blackened brown-gray that's not too dark or charcoal. It has a near matte finish. Inglot #348 is browner. It's a bit darker than MAC Print.
Deja Vu is soft, smooth, and beautifully pigmented, while Amnesia is soft, it does have a touch of dryness common to mattes. It could be a smidgen more buttery, but it's a good matte (just doesn't quite achieve greatness). Both shades apply well with good blendability and staying power. When worn alone, I was able to wear these for 10 hours without an eyeshadow primer. The duo itself is an interesting color combination, particularly the way the two finishes provide such a contrast. Neither shade is overly unique, but they are good shades to add to a permanent range.
For more details on packaging, check out my original review.

One of the problems with following seers and visionaries is that the followers create division in parishes and communities. Obedience creates an atmosphere of unity and humility. Fanatic following of these visionaries seems to create a blindness and unwillingness to learn what the Church is really stating on a subject.
I have written between 11-12 posts on private revelations, which I believe are separating the Church in much the same way as the proliferation of Protestant denominations did in the 15th and 16th centuries. That people who follow these refuse to submit to the CDF or other levels of hierarchy shows that Satan, who is the Father of Deceit, is having a hay-day. In every parish I have attended in Europe, such followers of those persons, seers, or visionaries-- already either seriously warned against or condemned-- reveal a rebellious attitude no different than that of the arch-liberals. Disobedience is disobedience. Christ Himself warned us that if we cannot be trusted in small things, how can we be trusted in great?
The CDF has made three definitive statements on Vassula Ryden. Some of the criticisms deal with doctrine. I shall put the links here, as I did in a previous post, but also quote from the documents. These cannot be ignored.
First, in 1995, the Vatican stated thus:
Among other things, ambiguous language is used in speaking of the Persons of the Holy Trinity, to the point of confusing the specific names and functions of the Divine Persons. These alleged revelations predict an imminent period when the Antichrist will prevail in the Church. In millenarian style, it is prophesied that God is going to make a final glorious intervention which will initiate on earth, even before Christ's definitive coming, an era of peace and universal prosperity. Furthermore, the proximate arrival is foretold of a Church which would be a kind of pan-Christian community, contrary to Catholic doctrine.
The interpretation given by some individuals to a Decision approved by Paul VI on 14 October 1966 and promulgated on 15 November of that year, in virtue of which writings and messages resulting from alleged revelations could be freely circulated in the Church, is absolutely groundless. This decision actually referred to the "Abolition of the Index of Forbidden Books", and determined that -after the relevant censures were lifted-the moral obligation still remained of not circulating or reading those writings which endanger faith and morals.
her messages, which do not present themselves as divine revelations but, rather as personal meditations (cf. attachment 2: Letter of April 4th 2002 published in the True Life in God vol. 10). From the normative point of view, then, after the above mentioned clarifications, it is advisable to make a prudent evaluation, case by case, taking into account the concrete possibilities for the faithful in reading these writings within the framework of such clarifications.
I repeat one of the excuses I hear from traddies, that is that bishops who are liberal are condemning or at least, not approving, certain seers. Well, either we believe that the Holy Spirit is working through the hierarchy, or we do not. Just because we disagree with a particular bishop does not make the decision regarding private revelations wrong. This is pride on the part of the laity--spiritual pride, the first sin.

Every now and again, people will ask me what the difference is between denim and chambray, since both seem to look pretty similar. Well my friends, today I shall reveal the difference, and fingers crossed that you don't leave here more confused than when you entered.
Alright, so the picture above shows you a denim jacket and a chambray shirt (though I'm using a bad example of a chambray shirt here since it has a herringbone design). Generally, this is how you'll see denim and chambray used: denim for jackets and pants, chambray for shirts. However, it's important to note that this isn't always the case. Denim can occasionally come in shirt form and chambray can be used for jackets.
Anyhow, the main difference between the two is in the way that they are woven. Denim is woven diagonally, while chambray is plainly woven, meaning that there's more of a traditional criss-cross weaving happening. The best way to tell is actually by looking on the inside of your jeans. Since they're probably made of denim, you'll notice the fabric is woven diagonally. This weave will look very different on chambray.
So in all, clearly not that big of a difference between the two. And perhaps a rather boring difference if anything. Either way, I wanted to at least clear up any confusion. Alright, getting' out of here, happy day before the 4th!

A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit against Citadel president John Rosa and the school's general counsel, Mark Brandenburg, filed by parents of a boy who was abused by serial molester Louis "Skip" ReVille.
The parents had alleged that the pair covered up a 2007 complaint concerning sexually inappropriate behavior by ReVille with multiple children at the school's summer camp, where he served as a counselor. They alleged that this allowed ReVille to go forward and molest other children, including their son - a claim the school has strongly refuted.
U.S. District Judge Richard Gergel ruled that the parents lacked standing to sue because they did not suffer direct damages as a result of ReVille's actions. They also didn't allege that Rosa or Brandenburg intentionally did anything with the aim of harming their relationship with their son, the judge determined.
The Citadel itself is now the lone defendant in the suit, which Gergel sent back to the state courts for consideration.
Dawes Cooke, an attorney for the military college, said the judge followed established case law and made the right decision. "General Rosa and Mark Brandenburg are appreciative of the court's attention to the case," he said.
Gregg Meyers, the parents' lawyer, could not immediately be reached for comment today.
The parents, identified in the suit only as Father John Doe 201 and Mother John Doe 201, alleged in the lawsuit that ReVille sexually abused their son multiple times between 2009 and 2011 while he was providing the boy with athletic supervision.
The boy had no relationship with The Citadel, Cooke said.
But the parents contended that abuse occurred, in part, because the school, Rosa and Brandenburg failed to report the 2007 complaint from a former camper, who claimed he was present for a porn and masturbation session in ReVille's room. The matter was shelved after an in-house investigation by Brandenburg and never reported to police.
The episode has been a central part of seven lawsuits filed against the school or its officials in connection with ReVille's abuse at the summer camp. The Citadel has acknowledged it could have handled things better, but school officials insist they never intentionally kept any information about ReVille concealed.
ReVille is serving a 50-year prison term after pleading guilty in 2012 to molesting 23 boys in Charleston, Berkeley and Dorchester counties.

If you find a comment that is objectionable, please click the X that appears in the upper right corner when you hover over a comment. This will send the comment to Facebook for review. Please be reminded, however, that in accordance with our Terms of Use and federal law, we are under no obligation to remove any third party comments posted on our website.
