This fortnight sees us winding down and integrating the Gemini Moon cycle, ready to begin with the new one on the 12th, in Cancer. This New Moon is the second of our pair of Eclipses. The Solar Eclipse ushering in a period of focus on the home, hearth and family. That place where we find deep nurturing and comfort. Look within the individualized chart to see where this is for you. As the Planets begin to pull into an alignment of intensity this month with the T-square, many will seek their comfort in the familiar and find camaraderie in their soul groups or families. The Moon rules the sign of Cancer and so is very much at home herself during this cycle. Sun and Moon bringing light and warmth in a motherly way. The Divine Feminine creating security and abundance for her offspring. Allow the feminine to guide you through this chaotic time with intuition and deep inner guidance. Your actions arising from this place will secure harmonious results. As the structures crumble and the unpredictable nature of events pushes you to a new level of understanding, allow yourself to adjust and create a new equilibrium. When confronted by an internal sense of authority wanting to control from an old perspective, allow new information to filter through and be prepared to view things from an altered perspective. Your freedom will come from the ability to spontaneously respond to situations, rather than from a set pattern of procedures. For those who've lived unfettered, there will more structure in their lives.
NEW MOON 19 Cancer 24 July 12, 2010 03:42 a.m. (Total Solar Eclipse)
ARIES: Mars your ruler is a key player in this T-square and teams up with Saturn at the end of the month to oppose Uranus. For many of you with low degrees Aries, this is a momentous time which will start a cycle of deep and profound change in your life. Many will find their true calling or life's purpose. This won't occur without confrontation and radical change, however. As you are accustomed to this type of chaotic inspiration, no doubt you will find yourself in the most appropriate of places. Movement is a big part of this configuration as well, so be prepared for unexpected journeys.
TAURUS: Venus transits into Virgo at the end of this fortnight and will bring some solidity to your relationships. A fellow earth sign bringing with it practicality and grounding. You will feel the need to create some boundaries within your relationship as well as get a little close and personal in the body sense. This seeming paradox, will allow a sacred space to develop within which you can explore intimacy on a much deeper level, rather than wasting energy on meaningless and old paradigm exchanges. This is the time to set all of this in place, as Venus will meet up with Saturn and oppose Uranus in August.
GEMINI: Mercury is set to do a whirlwind stint in the sign of Leo. Communication will be thwart with innuendo and ego overtones, unless you choose to bring it to a higher octave of friendliness, enthusiasm and inspiration. Leo works well with your sign, and can ignite the passions for you and others in the area of communication and innovative ideas. Let these all flow freely now, as the old paradigm crumbles into disarray and you look for a new set of belief systems on which to build your life. Remember too, that these may be updated on a regular and ongoing basis as the acceleration and momentum increases.
CANCER: It promises to be a very inspiring time for you with the New Moon Eclipse bringing with it an intensified journey of nurturing. You have the ability to inspire others with your boundless attention to detail, when it comes to caring for them. Offering the bounty and abundance of the Universe as it flows through you, is your gift. This cornucopia knows no limits, and as such keeps you well supplied now and in all of your tomorrows. Your ability to share, assures you of a plentiful existence. You would be well suited to any endeavor which allows you to tap into this innate understanding of divine wealth.
LEO: As the Sun is eclipsed in the sign of Cancer this fortnight, your thoughts will naturally turn to nurturing. When you nurture yourself deeply everyone benefits and when we nurture each other, everyone feels good. You have a wonderful talent for doing both of these, and as such will find reward and success in whatever area you choose to place yourself. It is not the what that you are doing, but rather the how. Give yourself permission to shine in all your splendor and delight in the simplicity of sharing your authenticity. This then allows others to do the same thing. Acceptance of each other, just as we are.
VIRGO: When you open yourself to the possibility and potential of this time, you will see that you are and always have been, supported by the Love of the All That Is. As you surrender yourself, your relationships and your life to the will of the Divine, the instruction of the Higher Self, you begin to recognize a synchronous flow, to all your pursuits. Call it the thread of Divine Timing, weaving the tapestry of your life, in a harmonious way. Any residue of doubt or lack of trust will simply dissolve, as you move into the flow of right action this fortnight. Both Venus and Mars support you within all of your relationships.
LIBRA: Venus moves into Virgo towards the end of the fortnight, and brings some much needed discipline into all of your relationships. Relationship takes work and a great deal of discernment which brings the need for constant vigilance and thoughtfulness into your communications. When you observe yourself going into old behavior patterns be brave enough to address the tendency and make correction wherever appropriate. The ego self has a great need to be right. The loving side of the self offers compassion and understanding, along with a great deal of forgiveness for the self and the other.
SCORPIO: You can feel the momentum building as Pluto pulls into alignment with Uranus and Saturn. If you are feeling pressured and under a great deal of expectation both from yourself and others, remember to take some much needed time to regroup and ground. Some things just take time and there is no need to hasten the process, although the impetus is to do just that. With Uranus pushing you relentlessly into action, you could find yourself making hasty decisions. These decisions could cost you dearly at a later date, so remember to bring some discernment into all your decision making enterprises.
SAGITTARIUS: Jupiter forges ahead for a moment longer, before it turns retrograde and teams up with Uranus once more in mid-September. In the meantime there is a square to Pluto and an opposition to Saturn to contend with. These next three months then, will be filled with hither and thither exchanges both internal and external. Allow your projections, your creations to show you where you are yet holding onto old ideas and where you must let go and where you will reconstruct. The most important thing to remember is that this is a process and as such will take time, until you have no more need of it.
CAPRICORN: At this time of year you always come to the opposite polarity within your chart. With that, many of you are triggered deeply by these two eclipses. The lunar at low degrees in your sign and the other in Cancer, bringing that ongoing balancing act of family and work to the forefront of your experiences. Add to that the impending T-square involving your chart ruler in square to Pluto in Capricorn and you have the recipe for momentous change, growth, transformation and illumination. Allow yourself to be undone and learn to harness the power of this configuration to create metamorphosis.
AQUARIUS: At the end of this month you will experience the first of the Saturn/Uranus oppositions in cardinal signs (Aries and Libra). Action is the key word here and where you may have felt compelled to be of service over the last year and half, you now feel to strike out on your own. You may feel some hinderance or resistance from those closest to you, as the opposition creates some stress from the external environment. Others may have an opinion as to how you should be living your life, and if it causes rebelliousness within you, all the better, as that is your key into understanding the motivations of your own mind.
PISCES: Neptune still in Aquarius and making its' final debut into Pisces in February 2012 while staying in close proximity to Chiron until that time. In effect what this means for you, is an expansion of awareness within your holographic field to encompass other dimensions and realities. An ongoing recognition of your role to play in the creation of your reality, while maintaining an openness to experimentation with new technologies and ways of thinking, along with a quantum introduction to healing modalities which will hasten the healing process. Allow the unfolding in a gracious manner. Resistance only brings struggle and pain.

Jessica Simpson remains under scrutiny to drop the 70 plus pounds she reportedly gained during pregnancy…
And although she says her $4 million dollar deal with Weight Watchers isn't putting any pressure on her… Others are wondering how speedy she can slim down.
But former Playboy Playmate Kendra Wilkinson is in Jessica's corner.
The fellow reality TV star and mom is defending Jessica, telling Yahoo! that the criticism breaks her heart, and she had a similar experience after giving birth to her baby, Hank.
Kendra is applauding Jessica's family focus, saying her first priority is her daughter Maxwell, and not losing weight.
She says a lot of people turn to nannies to lose the weight overnight, and people should be proud of her for being real.
Well considering Jessica tweeted this pic on the 4th of July, it's clear that a happy family comes first.
And her goal to drop back to 130 pounds… We're sure she'll make it fire-work.

Creativity Tip – Go for the combo
Many new ideas come about through the connection of existing concepts.
The wine press and the coin punch were combined to form the printing press. Dyson combined the vacuum cleaner with the concept of centrifugal separation. And most significantly, the spoon and the fork have been combined to form the spork!
Try and look for [...]
Creativity Tip – Change your perspective
When we evaluate ideas we most often begin with our own thoughts and feelings. This is the 1st person perspective. By sticking to this viewpoint it may be difficult to overcome our inbuilt beliefs and prejudices.
Actively exploring other perspectives is a simple tool to help free your mind to appreciate other possibilities. So when [...]
Creativity Tip – Why oh why oh why?
Appreciating the bigger picture can often be made easier by adopting the mentality of a small child and repeatedly asking 'why' until you have a satisfactory answer that leads you closer towards a more appropriate solution.
Asking why focuses us to really think about the reason behind our challenges.
Q- Why should I [...]
Creativity Tip – Use your hands to access more of your brain
The connection between our hands and brain activity is well documented. The use of hands has been critical to human development through enabling activities such as hunting, building, crafting and many other things we take for granted these days. In fact, much of the brain's development has occurred because of the way we have evolved [...]
Creativity Tip – Make the strange familiar with metaphor
New ideas and principles don't usually have an existing frame of reference for us to 'get' immediately. But if we can explore the links between our novel idea and an appropriate metaphor, we can bring a whole new dimension of familiarity and understanding.
I have developed an innovation programme that emulates the stages of [...]
Creativity Tip – Break free from language traps
We sometimes get stuck in routine ways of thinking and as insignificant as it seems, the language we use can hinder our escape to fresh thinking. The words and phrases we use often give us an easy ride down our default lines of thinking. The labels of language can even conjure up preconceptions prejudices, which [...]
Creativity Tip – Listen to your dreams
Dreams provide the opportunity for your subconscious to hog the stage and unleash its inner thoughts. It's like leaving a naughty child alone for a while. They are bound to seize the chance for a bit of mischief.
Dreams often result when your subconscious is trying to make sense of your experiences during the day. [...]
Creativity Tip – Make time for creative thinking
Most of the time, meetings are monopolised by traditional thinking. Suggestions must be workable, sensible and logical otherwise they will be shunned and you may end up feeling foolish.
However, this approach can often mean endless cycles of tussling over right and wrong, leading to a crippling breakdown in momentum. But if everyone is prepared [...]
Creativity Tip – Put yourself into panic mode
Are you a procrastinator? Do you often need a kick up the bum to get you going?
I admit my own motto can often be 'don't put off 'til tomorrow that what you can do next week'!
But when pressed to do something in a seemingly impossible time-span, you can surprise yourself by your achievements. Think [...]
Creativity Tip – Get yourself down to the pub
I didn't get round to putting a tip here yesterday as I got distracted by the pub!
But as it happens, the pub is a good tactic for creativity. By going to the pub or taking a bath, mowing the lawn- anything that distracts you from your problem- you put your conscious mind in a [...]
Creativity Tip – Are you glass half full or half empty?
We all know this classic optimist/pessimist analogy. But once you find a way of looking at something it can be incredibly difficult to dislodge from your mindset. Creativity is about holding more than just one answer in your mind and keeping open to other possibilities.
But what would you say if you were given a [...]
Creativity Tip – How would others solve your challenge?
Today your challenge is think like someone else. The way you see the world is coloured by your experiences and perceptions. But if you experience this world through someone else's eyes you may get a whole new set of insights.
Example: My challenge is 'how to cope with stressful situations'.
I randomly picked a cartoon character, a [...]
Creativity Tip – Experiment removing core functions
Generate new ways of achieving your solution by removing a key function and finding inventive ways of replacing it.
I experienced this recently when playing a board game in a pub but didn't have any dice. I needed to think of another way to simulate a roll of the dice.
First have a think about [...]
Creativity Tip – Don't always try to be right
Most people aren't as creative as they could be as feel they always have to be logical and correct to find answers. But creativity is about exploring multiple alternatives and seeing where they might lead. In fact, purposely being wrong on can lead to exciting new avenues.
Example: I'm going to come up with a [...]
Creativity Tip – Change your context
Placing your information/ideas/problems in a different context can introduce a new viewpoint and open up other possibilities. You may want to place something complex into a more familiar and easier to comprehend situation (explaining the workings of the human body by using the analogy of a car engine). Or perhaps you want to present something [...]
Creativity Tip – See failure as feedback
See failure as feedback and you'll access a continual source of inspiration.
A fear of failure will only hold you back from trying anything new. That's why you won't find many risk averse companies in creative industries. Failure also gives some people license to make convenient excuses to give in, or worse, not bother.
Instead, [...]
Creativity Tip – Challenge your assumptions
Assumptions are behind everything we do. They are based on what we know or believe to be true from and our past experiences. Most of the time, we don't consciously realise how they impact our decisions.
The question is how valid are these assumptions and can you be more creative if they are removed? List [...]
Creativity Tip – Don't just wait until you have a problem
Creativity isn't just about problem solving. Creativity is about continually exploring alternatives and making progression.
Too often innovation is stifled because people get trapped by complacency. Even successful innovators can become a victim of their own success if they hold fast to their winning idea and don't adapt to changing conditions. If you only react [...]
Creativity Tip – Adopt creative techniques and attitudes
Creativity requires both techniques for generating ideas and a mindset that is conducive for a positive thinking environment.
Creative thinking techniques alone will be ineffectual if you or your group isn't mentally prepared to be different. For more on creative attitudes, read my article 'Don't be a Creature of Habit'
More on creative thinking [...]
Creativity Tip – Play the ideas odds
Ideas come in all forms from the inspired to the down right useless. The best way to ensure you produce good ideas is to produce many ideas. That way the odds of finding the gem you're after will increase.
Creativity Tip – Reward creative efforts above results
If you're looking to get more creativity from your team make sure you put as much, if not more emphasis on rewarding their creative attempts.
Just recognising and rewarding creative results acts to raise the stakes and may put people off trying in the first instance. Rewarding creative efforts will produce a more motivated and [...]
Creativity Tip – Reawaken old passions
As we grow older and gain more of life's responsibilities, we often lose parts of ourselves that allowed us to imagine, express and dream. We often dumb down our creativity as we fall deeper and deeper into the world of work and 'serious' adulthood.
One way to recapture some of that lost creative energy is [...]

NY County Raises Legal Age To Buy Tobacco Products to 21
Should this happen in Erie County as well?
Easter Long Island officials in New York say that they have raised the age limit for purchasing tobacco products including, the current, wildly-populate e-cigarettes.
Could the new age limit of 21be coming to Erie County soon? Should it be that high? Are people taking advantage of it?
According to the Buffalo News:
A county legislator who is also a pediatric surgeon sponsored the bill. William Spencer says it will save lives. The law being signed Monday by County Executive Steve Bellone goes into effect Jan. 1. Businesses that sell tobacco to customers younger than 21 face fines of $1,000 or more."
Gotta be 21 to buy tobacco in Suffolk next year…if Nassau follows I'm moving

The schemes outlined below are examples that range from actions committed by one person to more complex activities that involve two or more people.
Tool theft – Hand tools may disappear from jobsites and be reported as lost. These tools may be taken by employees for their personal use and potentially their own small businesses if they moonlight on the side.
Materials waste – Excessive materials as well as nonproject materials may be ordered and diverted for personal use and ultimately reported as stolen.
Products substitution – Inferior grades of materials may be ordered if purchase orders are not matched to receipts.
Duplicate payments – Two checks may be written to the same payee and the fraudster may decide to endorse the second check over to the fraudster or to a third party. The payee of the second check is recorded in the general ledger but is not the actual recipient of the check. Alternatively, two payments may be received by the vendor on the same invoice.
Fictitious vendors and shell company invoicing – Payments may be authorized and sent to a post office box or a non-existent address.
Ghost employees – Payroll may include extra hours not worked or hours for a non-existent employee.
Vehicle and equipment maintenance – Without proper systems in place, a service provider may unknowingly receive payment from a construction company for work done on a nonbusiness vehicle or parts may be ordered for nonbusiness reasons.
Offsite work – Services performed at an unauthorized site may include a change order created to falsely identify the cost as project-related.
Bid collusion – Multiple contractors or subcontractors may agree which company will be awarded a job and at what price.
Kickbacks – Payments made "under the table" for favoritism or special deals result in higher costs for the legitimate company.
As has been proven time and again, the tone at the top coupled with a robust prevention and detection program make a world of difference. Strong internal controls, integrity, background checks, codes of ethics, training, tip lines and internal surprise audits—among other company-specific risk strategies—can be put in place to mitigate the conditions ripe for the occurrence of fraud with employees, suppliers and subcontractors, and to secure job sites and equipment.
Marion A. Hecht is managing director of the Valuation and Forensic Services practice in the Arlington, Va., office of Clifton Gunderson LLP. She has more than 20 years of experience investigating predications of fraud and other transactions involving shell companies, multi-tiered organizations and alter-ego entities used to divert assets for unauthorized purposes.

If every team's starting quarterback were placed on injured reserve, who survies?
This would be an interesting scenario given how important the position is. I'd like to think the Texans would still be okay. I was fairly impressed with TJ Yates as a rookie and expect to get a little better as time goes on.
Seattle would be interesting with Matt Flynn. I think the 49ers would be in trouble with Kaepernick.
Not Green Bay.
Give me the New York Jets.
This is tough. Chicago might have a shot with Campbell and their defense being insane this year. I was thinking maybe Pittsburgh with Byron Leftwich but then, nah.
Detroit has Shaun Hill, who by all accounts could be a starting QB for 75% of NFL teams. Probably could run the table.
Yea but Smith is probable against the Bears so 9ers will be alright. Don't be hating Ness .
The Patriots would still be top 5.
the 9ers would be fine, despite kaepernicks lack of experience he still has all the tools you look for in a winning quarterback, much, much better than the backyard trash you see on some other teams. Lions, browns, bears and especially the cowboys might have a shot of holding it down while their #1's out
I think that if every team's #1 QB went down here would be my power rankings
1. Houston
2. San Fran
3. Chicago
4. New England
5. Miami
6. Detroit
7. Dallas
8. Seattle
9. Minnesota
10. Tennessee
11. Jacksonville (assuming it meant trading Gabbert for MJD)
12. Baltimore
12. Buffalo
13. Washington
14. Arizona Cardinals
15. Bengals
16. Atlanta
17. Pittsburgh
18. Baltimore

shaun hill, colt mccoy, campbell, kyle orton
Jacksonville, clearly.
Jags probably?
Edit: Seahawks probably deserve attention too.
Maybe Miami with Matt Moore too.
There is a slight chance we might be better with Orton. He'd create less big plays but less turnovers too so who knows. Kitna filled in just fine last year so I wouldn't be worried.
In that scenario I think Houston, Chicago, and Seattle would be in a class of their own. I don't think anyone else could really compete with them.
It might actually improve the situation KC is in.
The Bears. They almost won the Super Bowl with a backup caliber QB n weaker team. Plus Campbell > Sexy Rexy.
I'd be fairly comfortable with Mallett.
David Carr's sex would win games
Dolphins would be in good shape with Matt Moore. One of the best backups in the league.
Dan Orlovsky.
Starting Tyrod Taylor would be... interesting. I wouldn't have too much faith in him or the Ravens though.
Jason Campbell sucks, but so would everyone else, so the Bears are up there. Detroit and Minnesota would be solid too.
Here I made a list. Even added 3rd Stringers if they had them.
Dallas Cowboys- Kyle Orton
New York Giants- David Carr
Philadelphia Eagles- Nick Foles/Trent Edwards
Washington Redskins- Kirk Cousins/Rex Grossman
Arizona Cardinals- Kevin Kolb/Ryan Lindley
San Francisco 49ers- Colin Kaepernick/Scott Tolzien
Seattle Seahawks- Matt Flynn
St Louis Rams- Kellen Clemens/Austin Davis
Chicago Bears- Jason Campbell/Josh McCown
Detroit Lions- Shaun Hill/Kellen Moore
Green Bay Packers- Graham Harrell
Minnesota Vikings- Joe Webb/McLeod Bethel-Thompson
Atlanta Falcons- Luke McCown/Dominique Davis
Carolina Panthers- Derek Anderson/Jimmy Clausen
New Orleans Saints- Chase Daniel
Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Dan Orlovsky
Buffalo Bills- Tarvaris Jackson/Tyler Thigpen
Miami Dolphins- Matt Moore/Pat Devlin
New England Patriots- Ryan Mallet
New York Jets- Tim Tebow/Greg McElroy
Denver Broncos- Caleb Hanie/Brock Osweiler
Kansas City Chiefs- Brady Quinn/Ricky Stanzi
Oakland Raiders- Matt Leinhart/Terrell Pryor
San Diego Chargers- Charlie Whitehurst
Baltimore Ravens- Tyrod Taylor
Cincinnati Bengals- Bruce Gradkowski
Cleveland Browns- Colt McCoy
Pittsburgh Steelers- Byron Leftwich/Charlie Batch
Houston Texans- T.J. Yates
Indianapolis Colts- Drew Stanton
Jacksonville Jaguars- Chad Henne
Tennessee Titans- Matt Hasselbeck/Rusty Smith
Some of the better backups- Dallas, Seattle, Chicago, Detroit, Jacksonville, and Tennessee
Worst Backups- Philadelphia, Arizona, St Louis, Green Bay, Atlanta, Carolina, New Orleans, and The Entire AFC West
The Seahawks also fit in with a good defense and running game. They aren't at the top right now, but the teams ahead of them would miss their QBs a lot, where as going from Wilson to Flynn wouldn't hurt Seattle much, if at all. Get rid of Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, Matt Ryan, etc. and Seattle jumps all those teams.
I'd actually probably have San Francisco on Seattle's level too.

The business of environmental regulation and management is changing. Problems like sustainability confound traditional boundaries between public and private, local and national, and between the categories that define regulatory practice. Many of the individuals who face these problems in their daily work in public agencies, private firms, and civic organizations have a tangible sense of the limits of existing practice. It is increasingly common to find groups of actors working across traditional boundaries to invent new regulatory arrangements that promote innovation, respond more effectively to current problems, and enhance the legitimacy of environmental programs.
ETPs mission is to contribute to this process of change and the development of practice as a research partner. We view research as a practical activity that contributes to the broad reorientation of institutions and to careful reflection on inventions that are made on the spot. In our role as researchers we strive to identify and document these inventions, to isolate new roles that are emerging, and to identify the characteristics of effective practice. We also work to develop partnerships with public and private organizations that make it possible to jointly assess the implications of our research and identify organizational tensions raised by the transition to new patterns of practice. We work to organize these partnerships in ways that enhance the potential for social learning. Finally, we try to provide a political and institutional perspective on the significance of these new patterns of practice as emerging forms of democratic governance.

MOMBASA, KENYA – As the East African Community (EAC) moves to implement a unified common market, the U.S. Trade and Development Agency kicked off a three day workshop today in Mombasa designed to provide member countries with assistance in developing integrated systems for border management. The workshop, which includes delegates from Kenya, Burundi, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda, will address the challenges, policy solutions and procedural remedies for implementing a single window customs.
U.S. Ambassador to Kenya Michael E. Ranneberger encouraged customs officials who attended the workshop to focus on what the single window customs system could mean for the expedited movement of goods within the EAC, which faces a July 2010 deadline for implementing a common market.
"I'm certain that the benefits of regional economic integration are by now clear to all of us." said Ambassador Ranneberger. "I congratulate the East African Community, and each of your governments, for your vision in deciding to capture these advantages for your people and for your economies."
"USTDA hopes that U.S. firms and technologies will help the EAC members meet its July 2010 deadline for regional integration," said USTDA's Regional Director for sub-Saharan Africa Paul Marin, who spoke at the workshop. "This workshop as well as our support of other initiatives in transportation and ICT sectors, confirms USTDA's commitment to being a partner in the EAC's economic development."
Launched in 2006, USTDA's Global Customs Initiative addresses critical customs training requirements in emerging economies and incorporates proactive private sector-driven approaches to customs-related technical assistance.

The U.S. Trade and Development Agency advances economic development and U.S. commercial interests in developing and middle-income countries. The agency funds technical assistance, feasibility studies, training, reverse trade missions and business workshops to support development of modern infrastructure and a fair and open trading environment. USTDA's efforts create an enabling environment for trade, investment and sustainable economic development.

Fox News Glitch? Website shows millions of votes by mistake before polls close

RELATED: Oops: NBC Accidentally Publishes Election Results Showing Obama Win
Screenshots poured in from several listeners of elections results posted at FoxNews.com, apparently by mistake, with millions more votes than any source has yet reported, all hours before any polls closed.
Instead of the hundreds of thousands of votes registered at the time of publishing (6:20 pm Central) at Fox, CNN, NBC and others, this glitch post at Fox News showed some 42 million votes for Obama and 32 million votes for Romney, under the "It's a Wrap: Campaigning Done, Romney, Obama Await the Verdict," again long before polls closed. The unconfirmed numbers showed Obama well ahead in the erroneous popular vote count.
Was it an honest mistake, or a sign of larger shenanigans?

A broadening array of professional and political decisions are in the process of being debated by school psychologists nationally. As with other major debates in psychology and education, the resolution to many of the issues may be thrust upon the profession so precipitously that few will discern the long term implications. The current set of events has, however, been predictable if one looks historically at the profession. School Psychology with its roots embedded in both psychology and education is in the process of establishing a permanent identity which is undoubtedly a blend of the two disciplines. Those who align themselves with generic psychology would prefer to deny its collateral educational ties. Others would advance school psychology rapidly toward total affiliation with education. In this presentation those critical issues which require our immediate attention will be discussed. An effort will be made to separate issues which are political or "guild" in nature from philosophical and service provision issues. An examination of the organizational policies which govern school psychology will be made with some attention to ramification of these policies.

BRADENTON, Florida - Gunfire rang out at a Bradenton apartment complex, coming dangerously close to a playground. It happened Monday night at the Sheridan Place Apartment complex, which is located at 302 26th Avenue West.
Captain Warren Merriman with the Bradenton Police Department says 29-year-old Carlos Alberto Jurado was killed. Homicide detectives scoured the area where his body wasfoundin the parking lot. Jurado has been in trouble with the law before. He served time in prison for aggravated assault and aggravated battery.
Two women who live at the complex spoke to 10 News on the condition that we wouldn't release their names since the gunman has not been arrested. They say they were inside their apartment when they heard the gunfire. They ran outside, because they were worried about the children who are normally playing on the playground.
One woman says Jurado was still breathing when they reached him. She says he took his last breath whilethey were trying to stop the bleeding.His tank top was ripped off and he had scratches on his left shoulder, she added.
The women say they saw a silver car speeding a way from the scene. Capt. Merriman could not confirm that information, but he did say the man was shot several times in his midsection. He adds that the apartment complex doesn't appear to have a problem with crime.
"It's just like any other place. You can't predict where crime is going to occur. I wouldn't classify it as a high crime area."
The Manatee County Sheriff's Office and Bradenton Police are both investigating the shooting.Anyone having information with regard to this caseis asked to call any of the following:Bradenton Police Detective James Curulla at 941-747-3011 Ext. 2224, or to remain anonymous and be eligible for a cash reward of up to $1,000, call Crime Stoppers (toll free) at 1-866-634-8477 (TIPS) or send an anonymousE-Tip thru the web atwww.manateecrimestoppers.com

Mathematisches Institut

Mathieu moonshine
By classical results due to Nikulin, Mukai, Xiao and Kondo in the 1980's and 90's,
the finite symplectic automorphism groups of K3 surfaces are always subgroups
of the Mathieu group M24. This is a simple sporadic group of order
244823040. However,
also by results due to Mukai, each such automorphism group has at most 960 elements and thus
is by orders of magnitude
smaller than M24.
On the other hand, according to a more recent
observation by Eguchi, Ooguri
and Tachikawa, the elliptic genus of K3 surfaces seems to contain a mysterious footprint
of an action of the entire group M24: If one decomposes the elliptic genus into irreducible characters of the
N=4 superconformal algebra, which is natural in view of superconformal field theories (SCFTs)
associated to K3, then the coefficients of the so-called non-BPS characters coincide with
the dimensions of representations of M24.

Favorite landscaping software
question: what is your favorite landscaping software? i have been in buniess for 6 years and have grown to the point i feel the need to follow the bottom line a little better. i have tried Easy Estimate and Punch Home Landscape. i have usually drawn or measured to get the correct measurements and quantified per going rate in the area. both of the software purchased only does what i already do and run through quckbooks, emailing an invoice. it there a good software that gets deep into what a job costs from down deeper into what costs on a job. ....if that makes any sense??? like ware and tare of equipment...or so many footage of landsacping fabric per how many staples. i know this is a little overboard but i just think i am missing to much money in the corners if that makes any sense?

Todoist iCalendar, Outlook 2010, Google Calendar
I'm using the iCalendar feed from Todoist in Outlook 2010 and Google Calendar. In Google Calender the time of a task is shown correctly, but in Outlook 2010 the task is show 2 hours early.
My settings:
Todoist: timezone = Europe/Amsterdam, GMT+2
Google Calendar Todoist calendar= GMT+0 no daylight saving, I cannot change this!
Outlook 2010 all calendars = Amsterdam/Berlin, UTC + 1
thanks in advance for support,
All responses
Hello Jeroen,
I have passed this issue to the developers and we will try to fix this problem as soon as we can.
Thank you very much for your report and sorry for any inconvenience this issue might have caused you.
Best regards,
I have the same problem in Thunderbird and on my iPhone, it seems like the iCal file isn't timezone-corrected (but UTC instead)...
Thank you.
Would be cool if you can fix this issue, as all times are wrong on my iPhone and also in Thunderbird.
This issue should now be fixed. Please try to re-add your calendar feed to your calendar software and let us know if you continue to experience this issue.
Best regards,
yes, it does work now, thank you!
One more issue: I have many university hand-ins at 23:55 and your ical-File displays all tasks with a duration of 1 hour. In thunderbird, it displays 2 tasks then (on the task-day and the next day, 1 hour later).
Can you please set the begin and end time to the same date?
Thank you.
Hello Martin,
Thank you for your feedback, we appreciate and will consider changing this in the future. You're welcome to add your suggestion to our Votebox: http://todoist.com/Vote/
Best regards,

An exceptionally rare half eagle in the No Motto series. Only 2,442 business strikes were produced, and as one might imagine very few exist today in any grade. When encountered, VF-XF is the usual grade range for this issue with only a few pieces known in AU (no mint state examples are believed extant).

Our Mission
We love food so much that when we run on a treadmill, pizza sweat beads from our skins. Our restaurant opinions and ratings reflect the experience at the time of dining, so don't take it too seriously, people can change. The more information you have at your fingertips, the better informed decisions you can make with your stomach. Bon appetit!
Our Rating system
There is no science, it's all about the feel. It's like when you meet someone for the very first time, you don't know why you gave that lady a 7/10 without speaking to them. The score is a combination of food, ambiance, value and service factors with weightings relative to the type of place. So a hole-in-the-wall diner in the middle of Mongolia could get a 5 star rating.
5 stars = Best of the best
4 stars = Very good, with some highlights
3 stars = Good, without being special
2 stars = Needs improvement
1 star = Mediocre, stay away
Statement of Ethics
Our blog is a personal expression of eating experiences told through words and pictures, not a platform for marketing.
- All meals are paid for from the diners – this includes voucher offers and Entertainment card discounts.
- All visits are anonymous
- We will not blog on meals or products that were a gift or subsidised from the business, PR or anyone other than a paying customer

Gizmodo reports that the CEO of Microsoft, Steve Ballmer, is retiring within the next year, or as soon as the company's next chief exec is in place.
Ballmer is the third member of the company's executive-management team to depart, following Steven Sinofsky and Don Mattrick. The former was formerly the CEO of Windows, and the latter, Mattrik, helmed the Xbox division.
It is a changing of the guard for the high-tech giant, as it is shifting to a new role as a devices and services seller from a software manufacturer. The parting is on amicable terms, according to the official letter of resignation, which was sent out as an internal email to company staffers.
According to the press release, Microsoft is seeking a new CEO that will remain in place long-term as it revises its business model.
