The Miami Dolphins entered Sunday's game with a chance to move into a first place tie in the AFC East. The Dolphins did a good job in the first half, their offense was moving the ball and scoring points. The Dolphins defense was allowing rookie Andrew Luck to move the ball, but limited the Colts to just 13 points (thanks in part to 2 missed Adam Viniteri field goals). However, in the second half, the Dolphins offense faded and managed to score just 3 points, while the defense allowed the Colts to put up 10 points en route to their 23-20 victory.
Quite honestly, the Dolphins did not deserve to win this game. Their defense played very poorly and their offensive line was harassed by Robert Mathis and Dwight Freeney all day long. The Dolphins did not turn the football over, but they did not have the balanced offensive attack that had helped them win 3 straight games. The Dolphins threw the ball 40 times and ran the ball just 18. That is not the type of offensive balance you need when you have a rookie quarterback, especially one that is injured.
What I liked
Ryan Tannehill – Tannehill's performance will go mostly unnoticed because the Dolphins lost and Andrew Luck had the highest rookie passing yardage total every (433 yards). All Tannehill did was complete 22 of 38 passes for 290 yards, 1 TD for a 90.9 QB Rating. That's not bad for a rookie quarterback who was running for his life most of the day a week after hyperextending his knee and having his thigh bruised. At one point in the 4th quarter, as the defense continued to give up yards like they were Halloween Candy, I said that Tannehill would have to put this game on his back if the Dolphins were to win. Unfortunately, the late drive in the 4th quarter came up short.
Overall, you have to like the toughness Tannehill showed as he continued to get up after taking some vicious shots from the Colts defenders. The kid is tough. This season, as much as we want to see the Dolphins make the playoffs, is about Tannehill continuing to improve. He's doing just that. We're all mad that the Dolphins aren't 5-3, but remember that this is about building around a franchise QB that is only going to get better with experience.
Reggie Bush's TD Run – Reggie Bush's 18 yard touchdown run brought back memories of Barry Sanders in his prime. Initially, the play looked like a short gainer, but as Bush headed to the left, so did 3 Colts defenders…..Bush cut on a dime with a jump stop to the right and left the Colts defenders in his dust. On his way to the end zone he juked another Colts defender before walking in standing up. Great run by Reggie, we need to see more of that!
Olivier Vernon, Special Team's Ace – I'm calling out Vernon on special teams here because the guy is a beat on the field goal/punt block units. He blocked another field goal yesterday, jumping over the center and deflecting Adam Viniteri's second field goal attempt. I can't just say that I like Vernon overall because he was invisible when rushing the passer yesterday. If he wants to be a full time player in the NFL, he needs to work on his pass rushing.
Brian Hartline – Hartline caught 8 balls for 107 yards in a losing effort. It was nice to see Hartline get back into the gameplan for the Dolphins. He needs to continue to be the security blanket for Ryan Tannehill. Hartline made a great move and catch on the 35 yard hookup from Tannehill, early in the game. (cont'd on page 2, click below)

Bowling Green, Ky. — Western Kentucky University head basketball coach Ken McDonald announced Friday that Sergio Kerusch (pronounced care-OOSH) inked a National Letter-of-Intent during the spring signing period and will be eligible for the 2008-09 season. A transfer from Itawamba (Miss.) Community College, he will have three years of eligibility remaining.
He's the third member of the Hilltoppers' recruiting class for next season, joining guards Anthony Sally and Jameson Tipping.
A 6-foot-5, 215-pound guard/forward who originally hails from Memphis, Tenn., Kerusch averaged 18.9 points and nine rebounds per contest, shooting 65.4 percent from the floor — which ranked 19th in the country — and 79 percent at the foul line, while helping the Indians to a 30-4 finish and a berth in the National Junior College Athletic Association Tournament. In three games at the event, Kerusch averaged 21.7 points including a 24-point, eight-rebound effort in a 22-point victory over Georgia Perimeter College.
An all-region selection, he also posted 24 points and 10 rebounds in a 68-47 victory over Mississippi Delta in the championship contest of the region tournament. Kerusch averaged 18.7 points per contest to help lead ICC to its first state title in 46 years, raising that figure to 22 points per outing in the region tourney.
The Indians, who began the year 20th in the NJCAA rankings, finished fifth in the final regular-season poll.
"Sergio is a multiple-position player that brings incredible energy to our basketball team. His enthusiasm is contagious — he's fearless and loves to rebound the basketball," McDonald said. "He had a great year with one of the top junior-college programs in the country. Sergio is coming from a well-coached system, so I think that he will make a seamless transition to the Division I level.
"I'm very excited that he will be with our program for three years."
As a senior at Overton High School, Kerusch earned all-district honors after averaging 25 points and 12 rebounds per game while helping the Wolverines to a 22-10 finish. A four-year letterwinner, he also averaged 22 points and 14 boards per outing his junior season. OHS recorded a 24-6 record that season.
The Hilltoppers are coming off a season in which they finished 29-7 while reaching the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1993. They were 16-2 in the Sun Belt Conference, sharing the East Division title before claiming the league tournament championship with three wins in three days. WKU was ranked 22nd in the final ESPN/USA Today coaches' poll.

When you start seeing a pound or two or many coming off on the scale, that is something to be proud of!! It took a lot of hard work to get those pounds off right??!?! Sooo, when you are tempted, remember this..."It's takes 1 time of overeating and going over your calories to gain those pounds back and it's take a lot longer to lose them - Is it worth it? No, but you are worth it!!"
Don't let one bad day undo all the good that you have done.
I still had a big, full basket of candy from my parents back home. And of course I'd eat from it all the time. After tracking the little innocent seeming eggs, I realized it was really slowing my down, so I put every single piece of candy on a plate and left it in the lounge with a note telling people to take what they wanted.
If there is time in between food prep, I'll load or empty the dishwasher, set the table, or any quick chore I can do in five-ish minutes.

'Dancing With the Stars' Recap: Week Nine Elimination
It's been a bumpy ride for both Ralph Macchio and Kirstie Alley, who have each had their fair share of injuries, falls and flubbed footwork. But week after week their personalities, drive and determination have carried them through as fan favorites.
Over the course of the season, Ralph was dubbed the Comeback Kid because whenever he fell from grace, viewers voted to save him and he would re-enter the race swinging.
But his luck ran out this week, and he hit a speed bump he couldn't overcome. The judges spent Monday night slamming him while praising everyone else, and they got their wish -- Ralph was sent home.
Despite recovering from last week's knee injury, he had obviously lost his momentum, delivering his worst performance of the season Monday night: A cringe-worthy '70s porn-themed salsa that had him wearing comical gold chains and a leisure suit with a padded butt.
Even though it was a disappointing dance, the judges were unnecessarily nasty with their critiques, offering little to no constructive criticism and instead going for mean-spirited sound bites. And that was the way they treated him most of the season, being overly critical even when he did a good job. He was a better dancer than most of the people in the competition, yet they rarely gave him the credit he deserved.
After Monday night's uneven performances and cruel judges' comments, it was sad to see him go on such a sour note because he clearly had skills -- and heart. But when it comes to the finals, it's supposed to be about who's the best dancer ... and Ralph made it as far as he could in that respect.
That said, he was really on par with, if not better than, Kirstie, who squeaked her way into the finals. While she's clearly a fan favorite in her own right, the judges and producers have been pushing her forward every week whether she soared or sucked, probably because her kooky unpredictability makes for better TV than Ralph's sweet boy-next-door charm.
But, unless her fervent followers somehow rig the finale, there's no way she's going to win next week. She'll basically be there for comic relief and the false sense that "anyone" can be victorious. The real competition is going to be between Hines Ward and Chelsea Kane, who each nabbed perfect scores this week and have topped the leaderboard numerous times. (Kirstie, on the other hand, has never scored three 10s nor been on top.)
Monday night's emotional dance with injured partner Kym Johnson all but wrapped the finals up in a bow for Hines, who will most likely walk away the winner. He's been consistently good, and he's never been at the bottom of the leaderboard or in the bottom three on elimination night. My only problem with him is that he's boring and doesn't take any risks; he basically does the same dance moves every week. (Yeah, I said it.)
Meanwhile, Chelsea and partner Mark Ballas have been spot-on, crisp, fun and innovative week after week. Their dancing is so precise it's ridiculous. If the winner were chosen solely on dance ability and choreography, they would have it in the bag. But 'DWTS' is also a popularity contest, and Chelsea was a virtual unknown when she stepped onto the dance floor in week 1. Hines, however, is well known to sports fans -- and footballers always do spectacularly in this competition.
As in some past years, this season will no doubt come down to the wire and the winner will be chosen based on next week's freestyle dance. So don't count Chelsea out just yet, as she could still pull a Shawn Johnson, who beat presumed season 8 winner Gilles Marini at the last minute with an off-the-hook freestyle routine that nabbed her the mirrorball trophy by a slim 1 percent margin of victory.
Yes, the race is that close, if you ask me ... but obviously that's just my opinion. Tell me yours by taking the poll below and leaving a comment!

Declaration (computer programming)
|This article may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. The specific problem is: Too many examples of unclear relevancy; not enough references; problematic mentions of header files and multiple declarations. (December 2013)
In computer programming, a declaration specifies properties of an identifier: it declares what a word (identifier) means.[1] Declarations are most commonly used for functions, variables, constants, and classes, but can also be used for other entities such as enumerations and type definitions.[1] Beyond the name (the identifier itself) and the kind of entity (function, variable, etc.), declarations typically specify the data type (for variables and constants), or the type signature (for functions); types may also include dimensions, such as for arrays. A declaration is used to announce the existence of the entity to the compiler; this is important in those strongly typed languages that require functions, variables, and constants, and their types to be specified with a declaration before use, and is used in forward declaration.[2] The term "declaration" is frequently contrasted with the term "definition",[1] but meaning and usage varies significantly between languages; see below.
Declarations are particularly prominent in languages in the ALGOL tradition, including the BCPL family, most prominently C and C++, and also Pascal. Java uses the term "declaration", though Java does not have separate declarations and definitions.
Declaration vs. definition[edit]
A basic dichotomy is whether a declaration contains a definition or not: for example, whether a declaration of a constant or variable specifies the value of the constant (respectively, initial value of a variable), or only its type; and similarly whether a declaration of a function specifies the body (implementation) of the function, or only its type signature.[1] Not all languages make this distinction: in many languages, declarations always include a definition, and may be referred to as either "declarations" or "definitions", depending on the language.[a] However, these concepts are distinguished in languages that require declaration before use (for which forward declarations are used), and in languages where interface and implementation are separated: the interface contains declarations, the implementation contains definitions.[b]
In informal usage, a "declaration" refers only to a pure declaration (types only, no value or body), while a "definition" refers to a declaration that includes a value or body. However, in formal usage (in language specifications), "declaration" includes both of these senses, with finer distinctions by language: in C and C++, a declaration of a function that does not include a body is called a function prototype, while a declaration of a function that does include a body is called a "function definition". By contrast in Java declarations always include the body, and the word "definition" has no technical meaning in Java.
Declarations and Definitions[edit]
In the C-family of programming languages, declarations are made in header files, which are included in other source files that reference and use these declarations, but don't have access to the definition. This creates an interface between the declaration and implementation, thereby increasing code modularity.[4] A declaration is often used in order to access functions or variables defined in different source files, or in a library. A mismatch between the definition type and the declaration type generates a compiler error.
For variables, definitions assign values to an area of memory that was reserved during the declaration phase. For functions, definitions supply the function body. While a variable or function may be declared many times, it is typically defined once. Dynamic languages such as JavaScript or Python generally allow redefining of functions.
Here are some examples of declarations that are not definitions, in C:
extern char example1;
extern int example2;
void example3(void);
Here are some examples of declarations that are definitions, again in C:
char example1;
int example2 = 5;
void example3(void)
In some programming languages an implicit declaration is provided the first time such a variable is encountered at compile time. In other languages such a usage is considered to be a fatal error, resulting in a diagnostic being issued. Some languages have started out with the implicit declaration behavior, but as they matured they provided an option to disable it (e.g. Perl's "
use strict" or Visual Basic's "
Option Explicit").
Examples of how various programming language implementations respond to undefined variables are given below. Each code example is followed by an error message (if any).

Roberts' status now uncertain for Game 3; Flyers to play without defenseman Coburn
Penguins/NHL Videos
PHILADELPHIA -- An undisclosed illness could prevent left wing Gary Roberts from playing for the Penguins against the Philadelphia Flyers tonight in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference final at Wachovia Center.
Roberts did not participate in a morning practice. He left the arena around 10:30 a.m. after meeting with team physicians and general manager Ray Shero.
He was originally expected to play, but several team officials said forward Adam Hall was a 50-50 option to be in the lineup. Hall appeared in eight games during the postseason.
Roberts has played in four consecutive games after missing five in a row due to an injured groin. He has not scored since tallying twice in Game 1 of an opening-round series against Ottawa, though he did assist on forward Max Talbot's winner Sunday in Game 2 of this series.
The Penguins lead the best-of-sever Eastern Conference final, 2-0. They have started 3-0 in two previous playoff series during the 2008 Stanley Cup playoffs.
Their chances of matching that feat improved when the Flyers ruled out defenseman Braydon Coburn for Game 3. Coburn was injured early in Game 2 when a puck struck him above the left eye. His face remains bruised and his left eye is swollen shut.
Defenseman Ryan Parent will play in Coburn's absence. Parent has not played since April 11 -- Game 1 of the Flyers' opening-round series against Washington.
The Flyers are now without their two top defensemen -- Coburn, and Kimmo Timonen, who is out for the series with a blood clot in his left ankle.
Center Jordan Staal will play for the Penguins, though he will leave the club Wednesday to attend a funeral in Thunder Bay, Ontario, for his grandfather, who died Sunday.
Staal said he will return to the Penguins and play Thursday in Game 4.
"There's nothing I can do about it now," Staal said of his late-grandfather. "He watched all my games growing up. Our whole family is real close. It won't be easy."

Answer: The best option for removing a diary product from your carpet is to apply an enzyme product such as Pet Stain & Odor Pre-treat for Carpet & Upholstery – leave it on the stain for at least 24 hours. Then you will want to carpet clean the area with a portable carpet cleaner and Little Green formula or an upright carpet cleaner using 2X Professional Deep Cleaning formula. If do not have a carpet cleaner, wipe up what you can and apply an enzyme product such as Pet Stain & Odor Pre-treat for Carpet & Upholstery. Place a damp towel over the stain for 48 hours. The enzymes will eat the stain that is deep into your carpet fibers.

ERP (enterprise resources planning) was an important step in an ongoing evolution of computer tools that began in the 1960s. Each evolutionary step is built on the fundamentals and principles developed within the previous one. As systems developed over time, a continuous stream of new terminology surfaced.
This is a glossary of those terms.
Part One of this glossary covers the terms from accounts payable through Internet.
For terms not covered here see The Lexicon of CRM Part 1: From A to I , Part 2: From J to Q , and Part 3: From R to Z.
Just-in-Time through Order Entry
just-in-time (JIT): A philosophy of manufacturing based on planned elimination of all waste and continuous improvement of productivity. It encompasses the successful execution of all manufacturing activities required to produce final product, from design engineering to delivery and including all stages of conversion from raw material onward.
lead time:
1) A span of time required to perform a process (or series of operations).
2) In a logistics context, the time between recognition of the need for an order and the receipt of goods. Individual components of lead time can include order preparation time, queue time, processing time, move or transportation time, and receiving and inspection time.
lean production: A philosophy of production that emphasizes the minimization of the amount of all the resources (including time) used in the various activities of the enterprise. It involves identifying and eliminating non-value-adding activities in design, production, supply chain management, and dealing with the customers. Lean producers employ teams of multi-skilled workers at all levels of the organization and use highly flexible, increasingly automated machines to produce volumes of products in potentially enormous variety. It contains a set of principles and practices to reduce cost through the relentless removal of waste and through the simplification of all manufacturing and support processes.
mass customization: The creation of a high-volume product with large variety so that a customer may specify his or her exact model out of a large volume of possible end items while manufacturing cost is low because of the large volume. An example is a personal computer order in which the customer may specify processor speed, memory size, hard disk size and speed, removable storage device characteristics, and many other options when PCs are assembled on one line and at low cost.
mass production: High-quantity production characterized by specialization of equipment and labor.
master production schedule (MPS): The anticipated build schedule for those items assigned to the master scheduler. It is a set of planning numbers that drives material requirements planning (MRP). It represents what the company plans to produce expressed in specific configurations, quantities, and dates.
material requirements planning (MRP): A set of techniques that uses bill of material data, inventory data, and master production schedule to calculate requirements for materials. It makes recommendations to release replenishment orders for materials. Further, because it is time-phased, it makes recommendations to reschedule open orders when due dates and need dates are not in phase.
manufacturing resource planning (MRP II): A method for the effective planning of all resources of a manufacturing company. Ideally, it addresses operational planning in units, financial planning in dollars, and has a simulation capability to answer what-if questions. It is made up of a variety of processes, each linked together: business planning, production planning (sales and operations planning), master production scheduling, material requirements planning, capacity requirements planning, and the execution support systems for capacity and material. Output from these systems is integrated with financial reports such as the business plan, purchase commitment report, shipping budget, and inventory projections in dollars. Manufacturing resource planning is a direct outgrowth and extension of closed-loop MRP.
manufacturing execution system (MES): A factory floor information and communication system with several functional capabilities. It includes functions such as resource allocation and status, operation/detailed scheduling, dispatching production units, document control, data collection and acquisition, labor management, quality management, process management, maintenance management, product tracking and genealogy, and performance analysis. It can provide feedback from the factory floor on a real-time basis. It interfaces with and complements ERP systems.
online analytical processing (OLAP): A category of software tools that provides analysis of data stored in a database. OLAP tools enable users to analyze different dimensions of multidimensional data. For example, it provides time series and trend analysis views. The chief component of OLAP is the OLAP server, which sits between a client and a database management systems (DBMS), and which understands how data is organized in the database and has special functions for analyzing the data. There are OLAP servers available for nearly all the major database systems.
order entry: The process of accepting and translating what a customer wants into terms used by the manufacturer or distributor. The commitment should be based on the available-to-promise line (ATP) in the master schedule. This can be as simple as creating shipping documents for finished goods in a make-to-stock environment, or it might be a more complicated series of activities, including design efforts for make-to-order (MTO) products.
Portal through XML
portal: A personalized web site or service that offers a broad array of resources and services, such as e-mail, forums, search engines, and on-line shopping malls. The first web portals were online services that provided access to the Web, but by now most of the traditional search engines have transformed themselves into web portals to attract and keep a larger audience.
process manufacturing: Production that adds value by mixing, separating, forming, and/or performing chemical reactions. It may be done in either batch or continuous mode.
product data management (PDM): A system, which controls all product-related data and associated workflow processes within an enterprise. Product data management systems replace paper-based processes and information storage with a single, centralized data repository that enables authorized users throughout a company to access and update current product information, while ensuring they follow specific procedures. PDM vendors recently have emphasized the similarities between PDM and groupware technology appropriate to a range of business environments. Besides ensuring data integrity using relational database technology, both include workflow and web-based applications that ease collaboration efforts.
product configurator: A system, generally rule-based, to be used in design-to-order, engineer-to-order, or make-to-order environments where numerous product variations exist. Product configurators perform intelligent modeling of the part or product attributes and often create solid models, drawings, bills of material, and cost estimates that can be integrated into CAD/CAM and MRP II systems as well as sales order entry systems.
product life cycle:
1) The stages a new product goes through from beginning to end, i.e., the stages that a product passes through from introduction through growth, maturity, and decline.
2) The time from initial research and development to the time at which sales and support of the product to customers are withdrawn.
3) The period of time during which a product can be produced and marketed profitably.
product lifecycle management (PLM): A process for guiding products from idea through retirement to deliver the most business value to an enterprise and its trading partners. The applications that support the business activities enabled through PLM includes product ideation, design, engineering, manufacturing process management, product data management, and product portfolio management.
real time: The technique of coordinating data processing with external related physical events as they occur, thereby permitting prompt reporting of conditions. The immediate availability of data to an information system as a transaction or event occurs.
relational database: A software program that allows users to obtain information drawn from two or more databases that are made up of two-dimensional arrays of data.
reorder point (ROP) system: Inventory method that places an order for a lot whenever the quantity on hand is reduced to a predetermined level known as the reorder point.
return on investment (ROI): A financial measure of the relative return from an investment, usually expressed as a percentage of earnings produced by an asset to the amount invested in the asset.
routing: Information detailing the method of manufacture of a particular item. It includes the operations to be performed, their sequence, the various work centers involved, and the standards for setup and run time.
sales force automation (SFA): Technology used to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the sales force by streamlining and speeding up processes and eliminating errors. It allows the sales force to access up to date information of customer accounts and pricing. It also eradicates errors involved with placing orders.
server: A computer, or software package, that provides a specific kind of service to client software running on other computers. The term can refer to a particular piece of software, for example a Web server, or to the machine on which the software is running. A single server machine could have several different server software packages running on it, thus providing many different servers to clients on the network.
supplier relationship management (SRM): Evolving set of applications enabling enterprises to create a more comprehensive lifecycle view of suppliers' operational contribution to the top and bottom lines. Strategic sourcing and spend management would be some of SRM parts.
supply chain management (SCM): The design, planning, execution, control, and monitoring of supply chain activities with the objective of creating net value, building a competitive infrastructure, leveraging worldwide logistics, synchronizing supply with demand, and measuring performance globally.
supply chain planning (SCP): The determination of a set of policies and procedures that govern the operation of a supply chain. Planning includes the determination of marketing channels, promotions, respective quantities and timing, inventory and replenishment policies, and production policies. Planning establishes the parameters within which the supply chain will operate.
supply chain execution (SCE): Execution-oriented software applications for effective procurement and supply of goods and services across a supply chain. It includes manufacturing, warehouse, and transportation execution systems, and systems providing visibility across the supply chain.
supply chain inventory visibility (SCIV): Software applications that permit monitoring events across a supply chain. These systems track and trace inventory globally on a line-item level and notify the user of significant deviations from plans. Companies are provided with realistic estimates of when material will arrive.
strategic sourcing: The development and management of supplier relationships to acquire goods and services in a way that aids in achieving the immediate needs of a business. It is entirely aligned with the sourcing portion of managing the procurement process.
warehouse management system (WMS): Systems that integrate work performed within warehouses and distribution centers with a transactional-type information system. Simple storage and retrieval of materials is superseded by strategies to increase throughput and productivity by managing the full range of warehouse resources to effectively manage warehouse business processes and direct warehouse activities, including receiving, put away, picking, shipping, and inventory cycle counts. Most support radio-frequency communications, allowing real-time data transfer between the system and warehouse personnel.
work in process (WIP): A good or goods in various stages of completion throughout the plant, including all material from raw material that has been released for initial processing up to completely processed material awaiting final inspection and acceptance as finished goods inventory. Many accounting systems also include the value of semi-finished stock and components in this category.
World Wide Web (WWW) (A): A set of software, protocols, hypertext conventions, and multimedia techniques that enable use of the Internet.
Web Services: A standardized way of integrating Web-based applications using the XML, SOAP, WSDL and UDDI open standards over an Internet protocol backbone. XML is used to tag the data; SOAP is used to transfer the data; WSDL is used for describing the services available; and UDDI is used for listing what services are available. Used primarily as a means for businesses to communicate with each other and with clients, Web services allow organizations to communicate data without intimate knowledge of each other's IT systems behind the firewall. Unlike traditional client/server models, Web services do not provide the user with a GUI, but instead share business logic, data, and processes through a programmatic interface across a network. Web services allow different applications from different sources to communicate with each other without time-consuming custom coding, and because all communication is in XML, Web services are not tied to any one operating system or programming language, and they do not require the use of browsers or hypertext markup language (HTML).
extensible markup language (XML): This language facilitates direct communication among computers on the Internet. Unlike the older hypertext markup language (HTML), which provides HTML tags giving instructions to a Web browser about how to display information, XML tags give instructions to a Web browser about the category of information.

Employee: Justin O'Leary
Employer: McDonald's
Self-Insurer: Massachusetts McDonald's S.I.G.
Board NO.: 029366-07
(Judges Horan, Costigan and Fabricant)
The case was heard by Administrative Judge Lewenberg.
Paul S. Danahy, Esq., for the employee
Elizabeth A. Fleming, Esq., for the self-insurer
HORAN, J. The employee appeals from a decision denying and dismissing his claim for worker's compensation benefits. We affirm the decision.
On September 11, 2007, the employee began working as a manager trainee for the employer. (Dec. 5.) He claimed his work activities over the first two weeks of his employment caused an injury to his right arm and wrist. (Tr. 12.) The self-insurer denied the employee's claim. Thereafter, the judge denied the claim at conference, and the employee appealed. (Dec. 2-3.) Prior to the hearing, the employee was examined pursuant to § 11A by Dr. Hillel D. Skoff. Doctor Skoff's May 8, 2008 report was admitted into evidence at the hearing. (Stat. Ex. 1.)
In his report, Dr. Skoff stated the employee had a normal physical exam, and opined he was not disabled. He noted the employee reported a work history commencing from the beginning of the summer of 2007, and described his managerial and cooking duties as "bimanual and highly repetitive." Id. Regarding the causation issue, and the employee's diagnosis, Dr. Skoff opined:
Based on the history and the absence of other documented provocation,
I think it would be credible to assume that there is a cause-and-effect relationship between [the employee's] employment at McDonald's and his development of wrist pain. I would term the type of malady produced by his employment as a repetitive strain injury.
Id. at 2. At his deposition, which followed the employee's testimony at hearing, Dr. Skoff was informed the employee had not worked the entire summer of 2007, but had worked only a few weeks commencing September 11, 2007. (Dep. 17-19.) The doctor responded as follows:
Now, so then the question becomes, how long do you have to work at a job to get [a] repetitive strain injury. Well, I don't think anybody has an answer for that. But first you have to establish what they're doing is, in fact, highly repetitive. . . .
So then to make the case that this is a repetitive strain injury, especially
given the short period of time, you would have to show that what he was
doing during that short period of time was indeed highly repetitive. . . .
If you could not show that what he was doing during that time was
highly repetitive, then neither by time nor job description would a good
case for repetitive strain be made. And I think that's where we are.
(Dep. 20-21; 24-25.) The doctor also revealed he could not recall specifically what the employee told him he did at work, but instead based the opinions contained in his report on his concept of how hard employees worked at McDonald's. [1] (Dep. 26-29.)
In denying and dismissing the employee's claim, the judge concluded, inter alia, that Dr. Skoff changed his opinion "when given the accurate history of work duration. . . ." [2] (Dec. 7.) On appeal, the employee challenges this finding. We need not reach this precise issue, because any alleged error proves harmless in light of the judge's other findings.
It is axiomatic that a judge "need not adopt the conclusions of an impartial medical examiner's . . . report in a workers' compensation case where the judge finds the factual foundation of the report not credible." Brommage's Case, 75 Mass. App. Ct. 825 (2009). Here, the judge found the employee's testimony regarding the repetitive nature of his work to be "a gross exaggeration of the requirements of the job." (Dec. 6.) The judge discredited the employee's testimony that "he worked for the employer for three weeks to a month." (Dec. 5.) Instead, based on his review of all the evidence, the judge found "[t]he employee worked a total of five and a half days over two weeks." (Dec. 5-6.) The judge also credited testimony, provided by other witnesses, that "the employee was not a reliable employee." (Dec. 6.) Most importantly, the judge did not credit the employee's testimony that "his job required frequent highly repetitive hand motions. . . ." (Dec. 7.) Thus, it is abundantly clear the judge's factual findings concerning the employee's work activity did not square with Dr. Skoff's understanding of same. See footnote 1, supra. "The [impartial medical examiner's] report is not entitled to any weight unless the fact finder believes the facts on which the report is based." Brommage, supra at 828. Given the judge's findings of fact, his denial and dismissal of the employee's claim was proper. Accordingly, we affirm the decision.
So ordered.

[1] Dr. Skoff testified, "when I look in the back there, the people who are working are usually working pretty hard . . . they've got a lot of orders to fill, and they're always sort of busy. . . . But that's my concept." (Dep. 26.)
[2] At his deposition, Dr. Skoff conceded his opinion might change "[i]f you could provide me with more factual information . . . if you provided me with a detailed summary about what his actions actually were during the time frame that we've now established . . . that would be the information that I would need which might dissuade me from this opinion." (Dep. 32.)

The University of Rochester and George Eastman House have a long history of collaboration in both teaching and research.
Since as far back as 1966, Eastman House curators and UR faculty have been teaching film courses on both campuses. In the 1970s, a joint UR–Eastman House committee received funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities to develop a film studies curriculum at the University using Eastman House archives. Since that time, teaching on both campuses by Rochester faculty and Eastman House curators has continued in the areas of film and media studies, art history, and other disciplines.
Beginning in 2005, UR faculty and Eastman House personnel collaborated on a master's degree in motion picture preservation. The Selznick Master's Degree Program in Film and Media Preservation, administered through the UR English Department, incorporates academic coursework with training in archival practice, inspecting and repairing motion picture prints, identifying preservation processes, and developing film programming schedules.
The film and media preservation program, the first of its kind in the country, has sent more than 100 specialists into the field of film preservation. It is a model and standard-bearer for similar training programs at other institutions.
On the research front, a team of researchers from UR and Eastman House received NSF SCIART funding to investigate preservation techniques for daguerreotypes. Their work has been featured in Wired magazine and Scientific American, as well as in academic journals.

Hi all, new on here but I've been on as a guest quite often looking for advice
my problem is this, The engine will turn over, fail to fire and cut out. also whilst cranking it if you even so much as touch the throttle it'll make this god awful sort of grinding noise and immediately die. any clues?
recently had to change the thermostat housing as the old one ruptured and leaked coolant everywhere (this of course caused it to overheat and cut out at the roadside).
also recently replaced the plugs and HT leads as the old ones had corroded causing misfiring, but this was at least a month prior to the coolant issue.
oh and it's the Duratec engine.
hope at least someone will have a clue as I'm stumped frankly.
Many thanks

PAWTUCKET – Mayor Donald R. Grebien will put on his bicycle helmet and get aboard a two-wheeler to take part with dozens of other bicycling enthusiasts when the first ever "Pawtucket Bike to Work Day" is held today.
Bicyclists taking part in the event, which is open to everyone, will gather at 8:30 a.m. at the Veterans Amphitheatre, at Roosevelt and Exchange streets in downtown Pawtucket, for a show of two-wheel strength and a bit of rest before completing the ride to their workplace. Light refreshments will be provided to participants.
CUMBERLAND — The last time Cumberland enjoyed a season as magical as the one the Clippers have put together so far this spring, its current members were learning the sport in middle school, and its head coach, Scott Carpenter, was savoring his retirement from coaching after a long, successful run as the Clippers' hockey coach.
PAWTUCKET — It was about lunchtime Tuesday when Tolman High senior Andrew Larson sat in his English class, discussing with teacher Kevin Kavanaugh the "ins and outs" of preparing for portfolio reviews.
"We were talking about the interview process, being interviewed by people who judge our portfolios, which we need to graduate, and he brought up the newspaper," Larson explained. "He also brought up sports in general, and what we'd say to a reporter, like, after a win. He told me to remain calm, listen to every question carefully and try to respond … well, intelligently."
SMITHFIELD - Sophie V. Drezek (Szczoczarz), 94, of Douglas Pike and formerly of Pawtucket passed away Wednesday in the Philip Hulitar Center, Providence. She was the beloved wife of the late Frank Drezek.
Born in Central Falls she was the daughter of the late George and Veronica (Matisewski) Szczoczarz. She was a resident of the Heritage Hills Nursing Center for the past 4 years previously having lived in Pawtucket most of her life.

The Last Childby John Hart
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Winner of the 2010 Edgar Award for Best Novel
John Harts New York Times bestselling debut, The King of Lies, announced the arrival of a major talent. With Down River, he surpassed his earlier success, transcending the barrier between thriller and literature and winning the 2008 Edgar Award for best novel. Now, with The Last Child, he achieves his most significant work to date, an intricate, powerful story of loss, hope, and courage in the face of evil.
Thirteen year-old Johnny Merrimon had the perfect life: a warm home and loving parents; a twin sister, Alyssa, with whom he shared an irreplaceable bond. He knew nothing of loss, until the day Alyssa vanished from the side of a lonely street. Now, a year later, Johnny finds himself isolated and alone, failed by the people hed been taught since birth to trust. No one else believes that Alyssa is still alive, but Johnny is certain that she is---confident in a way that he can never fully explain.
Determined to find his sister, Johnny risks everything to explore the dark side of his hometown. It is a desperate, terrifying search, but Johnny is not as alone as he might think. Detective Clyde Hunt has never stopped looking for Alyssa either, and he has a soft spot for Johnny. He watches over the boy and tries to keep him safe, but when Johnny uncovers a dangerous lead and vows to follow it, Hunt has no choice but to intervene.
Then a second child goes missing . . .
Undeterred by Hunts threats or his mothers pleas, Johnny enlists the help of his last friend, and together they plunge into the wild, to a forgotten place with a history of violence that goes back more than a hundred years. There, they meet a giant of a man, an escaped convict on his own tragic quest. What they learn from him will shatter every notion Johnny had about the fate of his sister; it will lead them to another far place, to a truth that will test both boys to the limit.
Traveling the wilderness between innocence and hard wisdom, between hopelessness and faith, The Last Child leaves all categories behind and establishes John Hart as a writer of unique power.
The "New York Times"-bestselling author of "The King of Lies" and "Down River" achieves his most significant work to date, in this intricate, powerful story of loss, hope, and courage in the face of evil.

New rooms opened at Hughenden
This section of the page features an image gallery, so if you're using a screen reader you may wish to jump to the main content.
Latest update 15.10.2013 12:06
We have opened three new rooms on the top floor of Hughenden Manor near High Wycombe, giving you the chance to enjoy fine views and see rare items from the collection of memorabilia and belongings once owned by the great Victorian Prime Minister, Benjamin Disraeli.
Light, airy and modern, the rooms are very different from the Victorian interiors in the rest of the Manor. Here you can relax and find out more about the country home and estate, as well as the life and passions of Disraeli, who was known to his wife and close friends as 'Dizzy'.
The first room, A Room with a View, offers fine views over the formal gardens and across the Chilterns countryside to the Disraeli Monument, commissioned by Disraeli's wife Mary-Anne to commemorate the life of his father, Isaac. Binoculars will help you explore the landscape. There's alse a flat-screen television mounted on the wall showing a fascinating bird's eye view of the whole estate with an aerial film shot by a camera attached to a remote-controlled mini-helicopter
Disraeli inherited a love of literature as well as a fine collection of books from his father, and the new Literary Room invites you to explore this aspect of his life. The library is of national significance and the oldest book in the collection, a hand-written and illustrated manuscript published in 1477, is on public display in the new room for the first time ever.
Punch cartoons featuring Disraeli add a touch of humour to the room as well as a fascinating social context. Here you can sit and browse through a range of books about the life and times of Queen Victoria's favorite Prime Minister, as well as many of his own writings, whilst listening to extracts from his novels and letters.
The third room is the Elevation Room, so called because it is the highest room in the Manor, and because it also shows objects reflecting Disraeli's climb up 'the greasy pole' of politics. Here you can see his earl's robes and ceremonial shoes, one of which is slightly misshapen because his left foot was often swollen with gout.
The transformation of the three rooms which were previously used as offices, was master-minded by our Heritage Manager, Robert Bandy, who joined the National Trust in 2012. 'We wanted to offer you a place to relax and enjoy a close look at some of the highlights of the collection, some of which have never been on public display before,' says Robert.
'We think the rooms complement the formal showrooms in the main part of the Manor which are presented as Disraeli would like, with all the paraphernalia and formality of the Victorian age. From the new rooms you can also see views of the whole estate which is more extensive than many people realise.'

The stumbling block with the image in question has been resolved and Michael Syrigos nailed it! He's wrapping up one last tweak to the piece now and with that all the art's in and looking gorgeous. The book will be a bit more varied visually than the core book but that actually works quite well for an adventure compilation and Realm guide. :)
Final text tweaks today or, if the Return of Alex meeting goes off tonight, perhaps tomorrow, and then this bad boy should be entirely in layout's hands.
Next up... Well, you'll just have to check in later this week to find out!
Hard to say exactly yet but it's looking very much like we won't have room for the iconics. Just as well, as we probably couldn't have included a full party anyway (unless... more to consider if we have a few pages free). Looks like we'll be including spruced up, full-size stat sheets, though, which should be extremely helpful.

My husband and I are planning a weekend trip to Napa Valley in July. Would like to get recommendations for new/exciting places to eat. We go there relatively regularly and I always want to visit same places. Mustards grill for lunch, Auberge du Soleil for early dinner (mostly for the view), Terra, Redd, you get the idea. Had an amazing dinner in French Laundry, only mildly spoiled by my dining companions reciting their food preferences/dislikes (this was corporate event, I did not know these people prior to dinner). This time I decided to go to completely different set of places for two lunches and two dinners.
What is everyone's favorite restaurant in Wine country? Winery recommendations would be great too.
P.S. I realize that not wanting to eat in outstanding restaurants just for the sake of variety is silly but new discoveries are awaiting...

Tribal language educator Mary Hermes at the University of Minnesota, Duluth documents endangered languages. With support from the National Science Foundation, her team is working with elders to record, translate, transcribe, and annotate conversations. At the same time she is helping train new scholars, young and old, who want to speak the Ojibwe language. Her team is going beyond just translating text; they're creating videos of conversations among the elders. The videos, which will be a more engaging teaching aid for contemporary students, will become part of interactive multimedia learning modules. These modules may serve as a model for efforts to revitalize other endangered languages.

Most would agree that a reading space contributes a lot to how you read or study. A library is usually the perfect place to sit back and relax with a good novel, or to grab a history book and study for that upcoming exam. What about the libraries that are becoming more modern with the times? Libraries now have computers and other electronic devices to use DVDs, eBooks, or audio books. But these libraries are also focused on the modern in more than just their content.
Love These Pics posted 6 Marvelously Modern Libraries, where you can find libraries from all over the world that utilize modern architecture. Some are overwhelmingly beautiful and others stay simple and stark, focusing on the books, like Stuttgart City Library in Germany (pictured here).
As a book enthusiast, it's safe to say I would love the opportunity to visit each and every one of these libraries. Check them out!

Some might say it's hardly surprising that if the average person spends 100,000 hours of their lives pursuing a career, this same career starts to define who they are. After all, many people automatically introduce themselves by their job title.
According to recent figures, Britons spend more time toiling than ever. The promise of the work-life balance seems to have all but gone out of the window. But why? And what impact is this having?
"I know I should be tucked up in bed, reading a book, just like my father did," admits Will Hutton, CEO of the Work Foundation and author of The State We're In. "Instead I'm emailing and getting early editions of the newspapers."
Hutton claims "working is becoming seductive again" – or at least a solution to career/monetary progression in an economy where take-home income is now at its lowest since 1981, according to the Institute of Fiscal Studies. Hutton says pressure to put in the hours is greatest among knowledge workers, and never being far away from a smartphone is becoming an acceptable price to pay for protecting one's lifestyle.
Julia Hobsbawm, author of The See-Saw: 100 Ideas For Work-Life Balance, observes: "Work has always been about earning money to live. But for a growing professional working class the recession has focused people much more on income survival." But, she adds: "Personal and professional identities are becoming merged, making it much harder to segregate the work self and the non-work self."
The problem with working for longer is that the risks are greater if people work themselves into the ground and are unable to continue. According to research by the Yorkshire Building Society, the average Briton has only 52 days' worth of savings. Lifestyles are so fragile that individuals can be under serious threat if illness reduces their normal income.
Jessica Pryce-Jones, founder of work-life consultancy iOpener and author of Happiness at Work, says that while "salary and people's happiness at work does not often correlate, salary and happiness in life does. Financial stress will be enormous if income is affected."
Remarkably, only one in 10 employees have any income protection, despite it being, what Pryce-Jones describes as "something that gives people a feeling of control should misfortune happen". Jack McGarry, CEO of income protection provider Unum, adds: "Income protection is more than just financial security, it's a rehabilitation process that stops people falling into isolation, and allows them to return to work when they are ready. Financial pressure to return early, when they are not well enough, risks making recovery worse."
Lynda Gratton, professor of management practice at the London Business School, is in no doubt the conversation about work, and life, and lifestyle has to change: "We all know work is blending more into life, and we all know we work to buy stuff. But out of this will come a debate about why we work, how long we work, and what impact it has from a health point of view. Longer hours and more technology makes us think we're more productive, but we're not; 30% of our time is unproductive."
The importance of protecting your income
In 2010 researchers at Loughborough's Centre for Research in Social Policy (CRSP) calculated that employees need to earn at least £7.14 an hour in order to make ends meet, significantly more than the current national minimum wage of £5.93 for people aged 21 and over (rising to £6.08 from October). A recent survey by First Direct bank showed young people need to earn 55% more to enjoy the same lifestyle that their parents did at the same age. Employees in their mid-20s now need a salary of £40,000 to be able to buy a house, pay for a wedding, or have a first child. The average salary for people in this age range is £25,000, however, falling to around £5,200 if on Employment and Support Allowance.
Britons continue to work the longest hours in Europe. More than four million full-time employees work more than 48 hours a week (700,000 more than did during the 1990s), while one in six regularly clocks up more than 60 hours a week. According to the TUC, the UK working week has now crept up to 43.5 hours – three hours longer than the European average. It also found 5.26 million Britons work an average of 7.2 hours of unpaid overtime a week. Recruitment firm Robert Walters found that 31% of financial risk professionals, 30% of lawyers and 26% of HR professionals work an average of more than 50 hours a week.
Tech overload
Few items symbolise the blurring of work and life more than smartphones. But do they save time or ensnare workers? Last November, Research in Motion, producer of the BlackBerry, found its average user saved 60 minutes a day by being able to read emails and communicate on the move. But in the same month, hotel chain Premier Inn, surveyed 4,000 UK workers and discovered nearly half admitted to checking their work emails during weekends.
