Event Summary
Inc. (www.encompix.com),
a privately-held North American provider of enterprise resource planning
(ERP) solutions that helps mid-size engineer-to-order (ETO) and project-based
manufacturers to improve their business is a stellar example of a focused niche
vendor. As an illustration, seven US-based ETO companies recently selected the
Encompix ERP system within a thirty-day time bracket.
Encompix, which has a single focus in the ETO market, has therefore recently captured a significant market and mindshare, particularly given that the following manufacturers have thereby decided to partner with the Cincinnati, Ohio-based (US) firm:
refers to its 270 customers as a close and happy extended ETO family, a feeling
that can particularly be noticed during its annual users conferences, where
most attendees share the same issues and concerns about running their businesses.
Such was the recent event, when Encompix' customers from the US and Canada met
in Cincinnati for the Annual User Conference, on October 15-17, 2003. Around
eighty attendees participated in the three-day event with over thirty-five general
and breakout sessions. Showcasing Encompix version 9.2B, the
vendor gave detailed educational sessions on key components of the system. Its
partner presentations from Configure One, a provider of product
configurator software solutions; Cimmetry Systems, a provider
of visualization and collaboration solutions for the architecture and engineering,
construction (A/E/C), manufacturing, and electronics markets; Aimasoft,
a computer-aided design (CAD) integration provider; and Prism Software,
a provider of software products for the distributed project management, helpdesk,
and e-business, updated attendees on new third-party add-on functionality. The
conference also included five separate special interest groups covering the
major product areas with time set aside for users to share ideas.
Encompix continues to add new functionality to address the needs of ETO and
project-based companies, whereby the customers play a big part in the development
process. Many enhancements are a direct result of their input, while most support
calls that require development work get resolved by maintenance releases, which
are provided on a regular basis to existing customers. To that end, the recent
release contains major enhancements to financial accounting, shop floor control,
purchasing, sales and job orders, shipping, inventory control, advanced
planning and scheduling (APS), subcontracting, progressive billing, and
revenue recognition. Further, for ETO companies who operate a major spare parts
business, Encompix has developed new material planning functionality and multi-warehouse
capabilities to support the manufacture and distribution of spare parts.
The next release, Version 9.3 which is planned for the 1st Quarter of 2005, is supposed to feature the following enhancements:
recent success of Encompix is one of the strong indications that after years
of hesitation and caution, ETO manufacturers have begun to demonstrate a new
economic confidence. For a comprehensive discussion of the ERP requirements
of project-oriented and ETO manufacturers, see ERP
Systems and the ETO Manufacturing Market.
is Part One of a two-part note.
Two will cover challenges and make user recommendations.
Market Impact
manufacturers have to seek out ERP systems that will plan and account for activities
before and after the "factory" activity. Thus, through the Program Cost Accounting,
Project Accounting, Project Definition and Project Resource Planning sub-modules,
to name only some, an ETO focused vendor should take a holistic approach to
the needs of project-driven manufacturers, as to address the entire process
life cycle, beginning with the bid and estimating processes, all the way to
installation and service management. The company should thereby be able to connect
the project status tracking with back-office processes. The system should also
have a bidirectional interface to CAD design and project management tools such
as Microsoft Project. Many customers require weekly progress
reports and are comfortable with the MS Project format, but the product on its
own cannot give the visibility and scheduling over a great number of concurrent
products, and that is where the products like Encompix come into the picture.
indeed seems to have responded to many nitty-gritty aspects of the project-based
industries. After over a decade of somewhat stealth operation, Encompix has
begun to make some noise in the North American midrange ETO ERP market, with
the above-mentioned recent wins and product related initiatives. The company
was founded as a consortium of several ETO companies and initially named ShopPro
Software in 1992, with the aim of developing an integrated solution
for job-based manufacturing companies. Then, ShopPro merged with Paradigm
Integrators in 1996, to first form CDC Holdings, and
eventually became Encompix, Inc. Since then, the privately-held company claims
to have experienced rapid and profitable growth.
company attributes that growth to its narrowly defined focus on discrete ETO
manufacturers, which may belong to a raft of seemingly diverse discrete manufacturing
industries (such as machinery, tooling and molds, industrial conveyers, aerospace,
oil & gas equipment, industrial ovens, metal fabrication, etc.), but they all
have similar business processes and issues. (For a discussion of these processes
and issues see ERP
Systems and the ETO Manufacturing Market. When one narrows this down
to a selected few regions in North America, and to selected company sizes (e.g.,
a sweet spot of companies averaging $30 million (USD) in revenues and thirty-five
concurrent users), the notion of a laser-sharp focus emerges. However, the company
also likes its future outlook despite its seemingly narrow marketing opportunity,
as it estimates approximately 7,000 mid-market prospective customers in its
target geographies in the US Midwest, Northeast, West Coast, Southwest, and
the touted (approximately) 80 percent success rate against its usual suspect
direct competitors, such as Lilly Software, Jobscope,
Made2Manage, Epicor (the Vantage
product), MAPICS (the SyteLine product), Visibility,
and Microsoft Business Solution (MBS) Solomon,
and with the average implementation of 150 days, whereby the ratio of software
license fee versus professional service cost is often 2:1. This translates into
a contract price of less than $200,000 (USD) for thirty users, we tend to concur
with the Encompix' bullish attitude. One should also bear in mind strong references
amongst its 270 customers, many of which will have a similar profile to prospective
customers in terms of size, industry, geographic location and so on, knowledgeable
and experienced Encompix staff with decades long tenures with the vendor (the
vendor sells only directly) and a well-attuned implementation methodology.
Encompix Strategy
on the recent contract wins, in the near future, Encompix plans to particularly
target five US states in the Midwest (Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, and
Wisconson), which will be the center of its marketing campaigns and direct selling.
The vendor expects this region to account for over 50percent of new sales revenue.
The company also continues to expand the functionality of its Encompix product,
which capabilities go beyond traditional ERP functionality, as evidenced by
this latest enhancements bonanza. Advanced planning and scheduling
(APS), with visual drag-and-drop capabilities, is an optional module, which
was built for scheduling time of key resources, and which is more applicable
in project environment than expected. It comes in handy with the shop-floor
data collection module, which is also available.
for the customer relationship management (CRM) capabilities, the vendor
had started by offering integration to the Best Software's
SalesLogix product, but it has often turned out to be overkill
for the customers as they typically have very few customers. Thus, Encompix
has been building a native CRM product that will link its contact management
with quotation and service modules. This is a part of a long term service life
cycle management (SLM) vision ranging from CRM to field service to enhance its
customers' capability to deliver service at a profit (for more on the SLM concept,
see Service
Lifecycle Management - Tapping into the Value of the Product Aftermarket).
This feat is envisioned through building on the existing Encompix Service Management
application and its forthcoming CRM application.
WebCenter is the Encompix collaborative e-commerce module,
which might prove the suspicion that the ETO manufacturing world is not at the
leading edge of technology adoption. Namely, although WebCenter has been available
for several years, it has only recently seen customers more and more looking
at adopting this technology. In the long term, the vendor also plans to develop
a data warehousing application to enable its customers easier business intelligence
(BI) and analytics capabilities. It currently partners with CorVu
for executive information system (EIS), alerting and scorecard capabilities,
such as the tools to identify the fastest moving spare parts, warranty trends
as well as tools to maximize inventory turns and measure lead-time to fill orders.
However, Encompix might also be looking at more sophisticated BI applications
like Business Objects and MicroStrategy down
the track Encompix' optional modules include, CorVu BI module, WebCenter e-commerce
module, Configure One Product Configuration module, Encompix APS, the F9
financial reporting product, Best's ABRA human resource and
payroll suite, and Aimasoft's BOMLink module for two-way CAD
integration. All optional modules are integrated into the standard product offering.
While many of the these functionalities sound ordinary and appear to be offered by many vendors as "supported" when responding to RFIs, subsequent product demonstrations often reveals the need for some tweaking or even for a major modification in order to satisfy stringent customer requirements. As the expression goes, "the devil is always in details." On the contrary, Encompix allows users to estimate and quote an overall project using "buckets" of time or dollars, which enables enterprises to perform actual rollups. In other words, companies can track orders and projects and compare their progress to the original estimate, as well as to previous iterative changes, all in the "bucket" form, such as total engineering hours or total dollars. Many other systems that claim to be ETO-oriented can only track the current iteration.
concludes Part One of a two-part note.
Two will discuss challenges and make user recommendations.

Camp Rising Sun Clinton
I see my daughter more confident, she has a strong bond with the other girls that were at CRS. She was more cooperative at home with her chores, and more talkative with me. She came back happy for all the experiences that she loved over there, valuing and appreciating more what she has, more conscious about social and economic factors, not just at home, but in other environments.
- Parent of 2013 Camper
The Clinton campus for young women is characterized by a series of large, connected buildings where campers gather throughout the day for dining and activities, including instructions, indoor sports (there is a full-size indoor basketball court), theatre and dance, and good conversation.
In addition, the campus includes a soccer field, basketball court and swimming pool, as well as a series of small buildings on "cabin hill" where campers pursue their interests in art, nature, journalism, music and other activities. Near the cabins is a large outdoor stage used for theatrical productions and special camp events. There is also a pond and a network of trails where girls can find quiet places to think and enjoy the natural setting.
Set back in a maple grove, campers at Clinton sleep in 16 wooden platform tents on "tent hill," where past campers have built a swing and a number of tables and benches for girls to chat in the shade.

Geoff Stults or Geoffrey Manton "Geoff" Stults (born December 15, 1977) is an American actor. He is best known for his regular roles on 7th Heaven, October Road and Happy Town.
Geoff Stults started his acting career at the age of seven by doing commercials alongside his brother George. He appeared on Everybody Loves Raymond as a mailman in the episode "What's with Robert?". He received his first major role in 2002 as Ben Kinkirk, a fireman at the department where Mary Camden was training and Mary's soon-to-be new love interest, on the show 7th Heaven. The role of Ben's brother Kevin Kinkirk was portrayed by George Stults, his real life brother and with whom he currently lives in Los Angeles. Stults also portrayed Eddie Latekka for two seasons on the popular ABC drama series October Road.
Geoff Stults first major film role came in 2004, when he played the male lead in the female action-comedy D.E.B.S., where he met his future co-star on "The Finder" Michael Clark Duncan. Since then, Stults has had small, yet memorable roles in the blockbuster comedies Wedding Crashers and The Break-Up, as well as larger roles in films including The Express, She's Out Of My League.
In 2010, Geoff Stults played Dan in the film adaptation of I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell. He also starred in the much hyped, yet short lived ABC television series Happy Town and had a recurring role on How I Met Your Mother.
At the 2011 network upfronts, Fox announced that it picked-up the Bones, spin-off The Finder, starring Geoff Stults in the lead role of Walter Sherman, an Iraqi war veteran left with the extraordinary skill of unearthing everybody and everything after being injured in an explosion within the field of battle.

A few weeks ago I heard about a really inexpensive Indian lunch spot in the Gaviidae Common Food Court in downtown Minneapolis and decided that I had to see if it were as good as everyone online had been claiming it was. I rounded up a good friend of mine and we headed over there after 11:30 to avoid what some say is one of the busier times of the day (I was told not to go right at 11:30 or 12:00 but instead try for 11:45 or 12:15 instead).
We arrived at about 11:40 and found about 10 people in line with 6 to 7 guys working behind the counter. Stuffed in a large food court several floors above skyway level, you really need to work to find this place. There are numerous other options available in the court but most of them are chains (Steak Company and McDonald's to name two). They have a few signs which provide contradicting information about the price of what I liked to call the "one-trip buffet". At the end of the day we paid $7 for a huge tray of food, a drink, and tax.
The food is good, not great, but good and the cafeteria line offers up what they claim is 30 different options. Based on what we saw yesterday I'd put that number at about 20 items which are obvious, 5 or 6 which are not included in the price of the lunch deal, and another 4 to 5 which must have been missing from view that day. The naan was soft and warm but nothing special, the meat stews were bony but meaty as well (be careful, you may chomp down on a significant portion of bone if you're not careful), and the vegetables were overcooked but still quite flavorful.
While not as good as some of the places around town charging 2x as much for all you can eat, you are definitely not going to walk away from Kabobs looking for more. Everyone who left that line was carrying a heavy tray piled with food. People were just pointing and they were scooping. We never saw the line have less than 10 to 15 people, even as they approached and crested the noon hour, but it never got too terribly busy either. Overall I will be back and I plan to have the Budget Nazi add in $7/month for me to go there more regularly.
Have you ever been to Kabobs Indian Grill in the Gaviidae Commons Food Court? If so what did you think? Have you been to their other locations around town? How does the Kabobs in Gaviidae compare to those? Do you have any other cheap food recommendations downtown and/or in the skyways for lunch? Can it beat $7? Whatever you have to say about Kabobs in Minneapolis go ahead and comment on as I'd love to hear what you have to say!

One of the most exciting things I do each year is visit the Casual Furniture Pre-Market to get a glimpse at how our wonderful furniture manufacturing customers have incorporated new Sunbrella fabrics into their furniture designs. I continue to be impressed with the innovation and fashion savvy shown on the show floor each July.
From the clean lines of contemporary teak frames to the homespun look of traditional woven frames, there is something for everyone at this show. Moving from warm browns toward a livable grey, several manufacturers including Gloster and Lane Venture introduced sophisticated new frames in driftwood tones. This year's greys are a little warmer, and they partner perfectly with plum, linden green, gold and even toned-down oranges.
Many of our customers work directly with the Sunbrella design team to develop exclusive fabric designs to set their collections apart. Summer Classics made a statement with a whimsical new peacock pattern in shades of rich blues and greens on a vellum ground as well as a wide stripe in a modern charcoal grey and gold color palette.
You can always find beautiful reds in the Lane Venture showroom, and this year was no exception. Among their red groups was a poppy pattern with an Asian feel showcased on an inviting round chaise. They also contributed to the driftwood trend with a gorgeous new woven collection with exposed wood legs. This frame color was especially striking with their choice of the new leaf pattern, Renewal Linden and a solid Linden coordinate.
North Cape International had a showroom full of beautiful introductions including a daybed draped in Sunbrella sheer fabrics and a seating group showcasing a solid plum fabric in combination with a delicate plum paisley on a vellum ground.
Gloster combined the driftwood frame and plum fabric trends into a show-stopping conversation group with an oversized ottoman and swivel chairs. They presented these same fabrics on a warmer brown woven wicker dining group and curved back sofa.
Treasure Garden also addressed the plum trend with an umbrella canopy combining a small scale window pane plaid, McGuire, with solid plum border and top vent. They also created an innovative display showcasing small scale versions of their Shanghai umbrella using Sunbrella Dupione which gave the illusion of pleated paper.
This is just a glimpse of what we can expect to see in patio shops and furniture stores for 2011. Even more beautiful creations are sure to be unveiled at the Casual Furniture Market in September.

It's too hot for an introduction! Hit it, fresh meat!
Bryce Black
When did you realize you had designer potential?
At a young age, I made dresses for my sister's Barbies out of anything I could get my hands on, like toilet paper, old socks and denim scraps.
What's influenced your designs over the years?
Always, hyperbolic super egos like comic book super villains, rock stars and eccentric fashionistas. Right now, the idea of a revolution or the shifting of power.
What celebrity would you like to design for?
Lady Gaga. I would design a dress that would be so overdesigned it would be offensive.
Why do you think you will win Project Runway?
I can win Project Runway because I can design anything.
Oh, good. A nerd to root for. But, as much as we enjoy the idea of offensively overdesigning something, we have two names for you, kid: Ari Fish and Blayne Walsh. Since the most likely response to that is "Who?" we'll just reply with "Exactly."
There's a lot of drama to his work, which could keep the judges from getting bored, but Seth A's right to point out that the "student" criticism will be made.
More info on Bryce here.
Kimberly Goldson
What is your design training?
I did attend FIT, but I majored in fashion merchandising management. My design training is self-taught with a lot of trial and error.
What's influenced your designs over the years?
My structure aesthetic was heavily influenced early on by Oscar de la Renta. My mom has always been my inspiration. I look at pictures of her from the '70s and marvel at her style. Now, as I've developed as a designer, I no longer am influenced solely by one designer or one thing.
Project Runway challenge you hope they bring back for your season?
I'd like to do a wedding dress challenge and a plant store challenge.
Why do you think you will win Project Runway?
I have creative design ideas with a fresh perspective. Also, I think I have the personality (fun, bubbly, tough when necessary, sensitive at times) to win the TV portion of the competition
See? Now there's a girl who understands the whole point: "I think I have the personality to win the TV portion of the competition." Brilliance. How refreshing to see someone be so upfront about it. Next year they'll be openly complaining about their lack of camera time.
She's very sweet, we'll give her that. Her point of view looks a bit narrow, but one major thing in her favor is that a lot of her stuff is right on trend and Nina's gonna love that, so long as she doesn't rip anyone off.
More info on Kimberly here.
Julie Tierney
When did you realize you had designer potential?
After my Intro. to Accessories Class at the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD).
What's influenced your designs over the years?
Snowboarding and skiing influence my work all the time. Also, after becoming an equestrian, that started influencing my work.
What is a fashion must?
Contrast zippers.
Why do you think you will win Project Runway?
I have a strong style that has a point of view. It makes sense, and is not like everything else. I'm a competitor and used to competing in a variety of things.
Ooooh! THIS one's gonna be sassy and in everyone's face, we can just smell it!
We are SO not feeling the Mexican blanket aesthetic. Seth A seemed to be dancing around how ill-suited her work seemed for the show, but somehow she got in. Nina is NOT going to be kind.

Johnny Carson's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in Hollywood. (Photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images) Image by Getty Images
By Phyllis Stark. CREATED Mar 10, 2014
Here's four words you probably never thought you'd see strung together: Johnny Carson sex tape.
Unfortunately, it exists.
As the Orlando Sentinel reports, "Late-night talk-show king Johnny Carson recorded a particularly raunchy sex tape with one of his wives back in the 1970s and it is for sale." It's unclear which of Carson's four wives is shown in the tape, which is about 25 minutes long.
The Sentinel cites a TMZ story as its source, noting "multiple sources say the tape owner approached the estate of the late Carson in September to make a deal for the footage and the estate said no way -- and threatened to sue the owner if he sold it. But the owner has not been dissuaded and is shopping it around to private collectors, the report says.
"According to sources who've seen the tape, TMZ says, it shows Carson with one of his wives and ... well, there's nothing -- nothing at all -- left to the imagination."
TMZ, characteristically, is more blunt, revealing something we didn't really need to know about Carson: "Johnny's johnny is enormous."
Carson died in 2005 at age 79.

LOST MULE CREEK. Lost Mule creek rises in eastern Briscoe County (at 34°25' N, 101°01' W) and flows northeast five miles to its mouth on the Little Red River, near the Briscoe-Hall county line (at 34°29' N, 100°56' W). The terrain is flat to gently sloping and surfaced by shallow to moderately deep silt loams that support mesquite and grasses. The creek was formerly part of the old Quitaque (Lazy F) Ranch owned by Charles Goodnight.

game genie was the older version of the modern Gameshark.
Way back when, we had to button mash until we found a cheat code.
Plus, before the internet, we had to listen by word-of-mouth, or try to earn enough money for a gaming magazine (or subscription) in order to get either a map or a code. Nowadays, like pr0n, cheats are too easy to come across these days.
But for me, most of the questions were about Sonic. It was annoying.
Oooooooooh get you.
They weren't all the same questions if that's what you mean.
Why not gameshark?

Google has just announced the availability of the full SDK for the newly released Android 4.1 Jelly Bean operating system, offering developers the possibility to download it through the SDK Manager.
With the new SDK on their computers, developers can start building and publishing applications against API level 16, taking full advantage of the new APIs that were packed inside the Jelly Bean OS.
Additionally, Google made available the SDK Tools revision 20.0.1 and NDK revision 8b, both of which come with a series of bug fixes packed inside.
"For many people, their first taste of Jelly Bean will be on the beautiful Nexus 7," Nick Butcher, Android engineer, notes in a post on Android Developers.
"While most applications will run just fine on Nexus 7, who wants their app to be just fine? Here are some tips for optimizing your application to make the most of this device."
For those out of the loop, we should note that the Nexus 7 tablet PC comes to the market with a 7-inch touchscreen display capable of delivering a 600 x 960 pixel resolution.
Jelly Bean works great on this device, mainly due to the fact that Google optimized the OS to fit multiple types of screens, ranging from smartphones to large tablet PCs.
This means that the platform will scale depending on screen size and resolution, and that it will also scale apps to fit them. Basically, developers need to do very little to have their apps fully compatible with the new device.
"We actively discourage you from rushing out and creating new assets at this density; Android will scale your existing assets for you. In fact the entire Jelly Bean OS contains only a single tvdpi asset, the remainder are scaled down from hdpi assets," Nick Butcher continues.
Devs can ensure that their hdpi assets can be easily scaled for tvdpi through taking care of the 9-patch images. They need to be created correctly so that they could be scaled down effectively, Nick Butcher notes.
Some advice for developers includes:
- Make sure that any stretchable regions are at least 2x2 pixels in size, else they risk disappearing when scaled down.
- Give one pixel of extra safe space in the graphics before and after stretchable regions else interpolation during scaling may cause the color at the boundaries to change.
Additional info on what developers need to do to ensure that their applications will fit Nexus 7's screen can be found in the aforementioned blog post. Links for downloading the updated SDK are available below.

Standard Black & Colored PVC Electrical Tape
Some electrical tapes are used for specialized purposes. For insulation purposes, typically the black tape is used. Other colors are used as indicators for the different voltage levels and different wire phases. Colored electric tapes are also called phasing tapes. In the U.S. and the UK red and blue are used for low voltage. In the U.S. brown, orange, and yellow are used for high voltage; green for earth ground; and grey and white are also used for low or high voltage neutral.
Vinyl electrical tape can be easily torn by hand and they can be removed from most surfaces cleanly. Electrical tape can also be used for quick fixes and securing cables. Besides basic vinyl electrical tape we also carry other tapes used for electrical purposes such as cloth friction tape used for splicing and repairing wires, corrosion control pipe wrap, dry vinyl tape, Kapton polyimide tape, glass cloth Teflon and skived Teflon tapes.
Consider your particular needs since there are different tapes for different uses. Be sure the read the specifications for the electrical tape to make sure it is the right tape for the application you intend to use it for.

How to watch live TV anywhere (iPad or iPhone)?
I'm a little disappointed that DirecTV Anywhere isn't anywhere. Only at home. I'd like to be at the beach, the park, side of the road, pretty much anywhere and watch live TV (not old shows/movies). Would be nice to see programs like I can on my tv at home. Am I expecting to much or is there a way to do it?

Brent Batten: Rural free (Internet) delivery at play in 2012 election
Democrats are positioning themselves to use federally funded improvements to rural Internet access as a campaign tool in the final weeks of the presidential election.
Chuck Mohlke of Naples, a member of the Democratic National Committee, took part in two meetings at the Democratic National Convention last week to formulate strategies toward that end.
A cynic might see the coupling of President Barack Obama's wireless infrastructure plan, part of the federal stimulus package of 2009, with his re-election bid as duplicitous.
But Mohlke isn't a cynic. Instead, he sees it as a way for rural communities to have a bigger say in the campaign, no matter which side they're on politically.
"This is a brand new element of the campaign that did not exist in 2008. They (rural communities) are able for the first time to participate easily in the campaign. That's worth noting," Mohlke said.
Republicans are free to take advantage of the same improvements to the wireless infrastructure in rural areas to bring social media, webinars — a sort of seminar in which people with hand-held mobile devices and other gizmos can participate in real time — and other high-tech offerings to their rural supporters.
By comparison, it could be viewed as similar to politicians, both Republican and Democrat, using the interstate highway system championed by the Eisenhower Administration to further their campaigns in the 1950s and 1960s.
Previously, 4G wireless Internet connectivity, offering the clearest pictures and sound and the fastest connections, existed mainly in urban areas. Over the past few years, access in the rural areas has been improved, thanks in part to federal subsidies to the companies providing the service.
As a member of the Democratic National Committee's Rural Council, Mohlke has been plugged in, pun intended, to progress on the rural 4G initiative from its inception.
It has now reached a critical mass, meaning areas like the one stretching north from Immokalee, through the center of the state, are now more tuned in than before.
"You would go through parts of Central Florida and you would be unable to make phone contact. You were being interrupted constantly. That's all gone now," Mohlke said.
The $5 billion that Obama directed toward faster Internet access for rural areas was mainly touted as a way to improve education, business and public safety in those areas. Democrats in Charlotte were also mindful of the political opportunities.
"Tuesday afternoon of the convention, the Democratic National Committee Rural Council heard appeals to convention delegates from Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer, Secretary of Agriculture and former Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack, Alaska's new Sen. Mark Begich, and Farmer's Union President Roger Johnson to 'rev-up' voter canvassing in farming communities," Mohlke wrote in a dispatch from Charlotte.
"Since 2010, Facebook and Twitter and the iPad and iPhone networks are available to rural users. The consequences to political campaigns are being tested daily in 2012," he added.
Mohlke said even his own party, which draws most of its leadership from urban areas, has been slow to consider the wants, needs and potential of rural residents.
"Rural people tend to be dealt with in a manner that could be called a little indifferent, at times," he said.
Although small in number, rural voters could play a large role in a close race, like the one in Florida is expected to be.
"This is a first-time set of circumstances. It could make a difference," he said.

REDMOND, Wash. (AP) - Microsoft's first tablet computer, the Surface, will start at $499 when it goes on sale October 26.
The price matches that of Apple's iPad, the most popular tablet computer. But the base model of the Surface has twice as much storage memory: 32 gigabytes.
The screen is also slightly larger.
Microsoft says the signature hardware feature of the tablet, a cover that doubles as a keyboard, will cost another $100.
A step-up model for $699 has twice the memory, 64 GB, and includes a cover.
Microsoft will be selling the tablet in its own stores in the U.S. and Canada and online in those countries, plus Australia, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong and the U.K.

Cystic Acne Treatment
Regardless of what type of acne you may have, dermatologists will advise you not to squeeze the lesions. When it comes to cystic acne treatment, it is crucial that you follow this advice. Cystic acne is by far the most severe form of acne, which develops from nodules deeply embedded beneath the skin's surface and squeezing this type of acne will result in serious consequences as well as prominent acne scarring.
What is cystic acne and how does it develop?
Cystic acne develops when untreated nodules advance in growth and development. When nodular acne inflamed and engorged with pus inside it, its follicular wall may end up rupturing deep beneath the skin, releasing the pus it contains. The bacteria contained in the released pus leak deep into the skin, will rapidly multiply and this will produce a more profound inflammatory process, where your body will try to combat the bacterial infection. The function of white blood cells is to defend your body from infection and to defeat any pathogens. Therefore a vicious cycle begins, where an infection is followed by inflammation repeatedly, leading to prolonged pus formation. Cyst formation is a part of the immune system's mechanism in containing the infection from spreading further into the skin.
While this inflammatory process is taking place, the cystic acne will gradually start to expand into the surrounding skin tissue, forming larger and larger cysts. The dept and extent of acne cysts can vary greatly and they can appear in a combination with other types of acne, such as comedones, nodules, blackheads or whiteheads. Depending on its extent and its underlying causes, cystic acne treatment may vary.
Cystic Acne Sinus Tracts
Acne cysts may drain to the surface or may join with adjacent cysts to form sinus tracts. The body develops sinus tracts in order to try to prevent the bacteria and pus from contaminating the bloodstream. A sinus tract contains both blood and pus. If untreated it heals extremely slowly or can even get worse and it will leave large, long, darkened, shallow acne scars. Although it is extremely rare, in severe cases, cystic acne sinus tracts can lead to a toxic condition, which will require hospital treatment.
Cystic acne can lead to an enormous amount of emotional and physical distress for the sufferer. This upsetting condition is not only painful, but can cause frequent bleeding and an an unpleasant, potent smelling discharge.
Cystic Acne Treatment
When considering cystic acne treatment, many people find that this distressing condition can be incredibly difficult to control. There are however a variety of cystic acne treatment options for you to consider:
- Acne antibiotics, such as Erythromycin, Tetracycline and Minocycline will effectively bring down the infection produced by cystic acne, however, these medications do not have the ability to prevent the infection recurring or aid the body in the resorption of the cyst.
- Birth control pills for acne are prescribed for women, when cystic acne development results from the overproduction of testosterone. This medication may need to be taken for several months, prior to experiencing any significant improvement and will continue to be effective as long as they are taken.
- Isotretinoin, under the brand name Accutane has been beneficial for countless people, however this potentially dangerous medication needs to be taken with extreme caution due to its detrimental side effects.
- Steroid injections are often used in order shrink the lesions.
- Surgical drainage of the cysts may be necessary in severe cases, where all other cystic acne treatment solutions have failed to deliver significant results.
- Holistic acne treatment methods address the underlying causes of acne development and eliminate them. Consequently they will eliminate acne and will prevent any potential recurrences in the future. They will not only address each individual symptom in isolation, but will re-balance your whole body by addressing any nutritional deficiencies or hormonal imbalances, which have caused your acne to begin with. Indeed,when it comes to the treatment of cystic acne, or any other types of acne, unless these fundamental underlying factors are eliminated, the prevention of recurrences cannot be guaranteed.

London cyclist completes John O'Groats to Land's End on a Boris Bike
Cardboard throne waiting at journey's end lets hospital worker emulate hero Bradley Wiggins
Previous News
Next News
A London man has spent nearly three weeks riding from John O'Groats to Land's End – on a Boris Bike. At the end of the journey, James Davies from Camden was able to emulate his hero, Bradley Wiggins, by sitting on a throne – albeit one fashioned out of cardboard – modelled on the one the latter sat on after winning Olympic time trial gold at Hampton Court.
The idea of having a throne waiting was the idea of the 31-year-old's mother and stepfather, reports the Evening Standard. The ride was in aid of the newspaper's Dispossessed Fund, which has so far raised in excess of £8.3 million for charities and social enterprises fighting poverty.
Mr Davies, 31, a nuclear medicine technologist at University College Hospital in London, said that it was a "beautiful moment" as he took his place on the throne after completing the 881-mile ride in 19 days and two hours.
On the way, he not only needed to combat strong winds, but also the weight of a bike borrowed for the journey from Transport for London and nicknamed 'Doris' that at 23kg is more than twice as heavy as a typical road bike and also has just three gears.
"The patron saint of this journey has been Bradley Wiggins," said Mr Davies afterwards. "At Land's End sitting in the throne, I did the victory symbol like Bradley. It was lovely — it was a really beautiful moment.
"My thighs are still exhausted but I loved it and I'm fitter than ever," he added.
His efforts have so far raised nearly £900 via his Virgin Money Giving page.
Doris the Boris....Love it. But to hell with trying JOGLE one 3 gears. Thats insane. Good work that man

He better get that bike back to a docking station soon, or he'll be paying most of that in late-fees (I'm joking, TFL presumably gifted him the use of the bike, which makes me think I really should set up a Just Giving page for the next time I go to that London on a business trip...)

as far as anyone knows is that the first ever LEJOG on a Boris bike ? Quite fancy a go at that myself , must be possible to go sub 10 days ???

Hi folks, cheers for your interest and cheers to Road.cc for the article. It was an amazing experience doing JOGLE on a Boris Bike and i had great fun meeting all the people along the way. I was not in anyway an avid cyclist before the journey but have now been converted and my mate at work (who is a cycle nut) is persuading me to buy a road bike and next summer having a go at the box hill route for charity. In response to the above post, I really hope no one else has done the JOGLE on a Boris Bike, I was hoping to be the first but would love the idea that a trend could be started and for someone to have a go at beating the time. It won't be hard, I didn't exactly burn through the route so sub 10 days is absolutely possible. Have a chat with TFL to see if you can borrow a bike. One thing though, due to strong south westerly winds I had to contend with, I hereby suggest that anyone taking on the route on the iconic bike has to do it JOGLE and not LEJOG, thats cheating Good luck with it. If you want to read about my journey then check out my blog at www.blanchflower.org.uk/gingerjim, don't be offended by my sarcastic writing style, its all very tongue-in-cheek but what do you expect from a nut who took on the JOGLE on a 23kg bike?

Someone on another forum was going to do London to Paris on a BB bu they refused: did the rider pay the late return fees or were TfL more compliant in this instance?

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Since graduating from the University of North Florida Elton Rivas professional life has been as diverse as artists and creators at the One Spark Festival he helped create.
"I think my education has been critical for everything that I've been involved in and accomplished out of college," says Rivas. "I've been involved in probably dozens of startups since I graduated from college. Everything from a bed and breakfast for cats to dry wall companies to One Spark."
"I bounced around growing up. I was a Coast Guard kid so every 4 years we moved to another coastal city," Rivas said. He knows what it is like to be the new kid at school and credits that will helping him be able to adapt to change.
Rivas said, "I remember the first day of school for me was always really anxiety driven. It was something new. I didn't know what I was going to get into. Didn't know who the people were going to be as I was moving around to different things but always by the end of the first day I was always excited to go back to the next day and keep learning."
An entrepreneur at heart, Rivas started his first business at the young age of six.
"My first business was selling mangoes on the street corner with a buddy of mine names Mannie when I lived in Miami so that's always been part of who I am," says Rivas.
Taking what he's learned along the way and using it to spark the next big idea. As students get ready to start a new school year he offers this advice.
"I think advice for anybody who is going back to school or anything that is anxiety driven is look at the people next to you. They are doing the same thing you are. Everybody is in it together and at the end of the day you are going to make more friends than not and really everybody is there to support your education and you becoming a better person so enjoy it," said Rivas.

As CIO and deputy director for information management at the Defense Intelligence Agency, Grant Schneider oversees operational IT and IT policy for the military intelligence agency.
DIA recently ordered 12,000 new computers as part of a multiyear client virtualization effort that will let computers access multiple classified networks, rather than requiring users to have one computer per network. The agency is moving forward with a Web-based working environment that will let intelligence analysts choose which applications they use, much like Apple's App Store. DIA also plays a role in the intelligence community's identity and access management effort and in its Intelligence Community Data Layer, a project designed to make intelligence databases more interoperable.
DIA's IT organization, previously decentralized, has reorganized around a global model in anticipation of offering enterprise-wide services like email, virtualized clients, and search. Before becoming CIO, Schneider was chief of the agency's enterprise IT operations group, where he helped centralize IT management.

Excellent wetsuit and value...!
I bought this for my 13 year old daughter who began surfing earlier this year at the cool Marin County beaches, and it fits her like, well, a glove - and keeps her warm and flexible for her surfing endeavors. A great value at almost half the cost of some others with the same great quality I'd expect from Body Glove! I highly recommend!

Marin County, CA
I like the suit very much but think it would be better to go up a size for comfo
Will be using the suit for warmth as I teach young people to swim. At age 69 and being thin (5"5", 108 lbs.) I get cold when standing aroung in even a heated pool. Also, the small fits perfectly, but, I decided to exchange it for the next size up for comfort, since I'm not using it for scuba or other swimming.

Fit: Feels too small
Winter Swimming Wonder
The size is perfect and I am a rather hard to fit tallish, thin woman.This keeps me warm in water that is in the 70 degree range; normally I could not swim in these temps.The only difficult part of owning this wetsuit is the problem of taking it off. The ankles are snug, as they should be, but it does make for difficult removal.I do love this suit.
Saint Petersburg,FL
Wet suit
I use it for work. I like the material!!
Valeria G.
San Bruno, CA
strange fit for me
I returned it. too big around and in the legs and yet too short in the trunk, very strange fit for me....I am a 6 in a Billabong, but I think a 6 would be too short
Fit: Feels too big
I like my wetsuit
I bought the wetsuit suit cause I work at a truck wash and it works like I thought It would. It keeps me dry and warm and what I mean by keeping me dry is, dry from the mist of the water and as well as some direct spary of the water.

Whitman Commemorates Clean Water Act at Youth Watershed Summit
EPA Administrator Christie Whitman helped commemorate the 30th Anniversary of the Clean Water Act and the Year of Clean Water at the National Youth Watershed Summit this week.
This week's summit, hosted by America's Clean Water Foundation and the Smithsonian Institution, welcomed over 250 students and teachers from across the country to Washington, D. C., who are participating in week-long activities at the Smithsonian's Environmental Research Center and around the Washington, D.C., area.
The summit is designed to engage the next generation of water protection leaders. The students are being challenged to develop their knowledge of watersheds and cooperative problem solving. This event is also partially funded by grants from EPA, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, U.S. Geological Survey, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineer and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
The Clean Water Act was enacted on Oct. 18, 1972. This year, Whitman has designated the anniversary date, Oct. 18, as National Water Monitoring Day and is encouraging people to take part in monitoring their local waterways.

From the creative designer, Sherah with Skrapper Digitals: "This kit was created with a special photograph of my now 5 year old daughter in mind. She was just 8 months old at the time (her picture is in the attached images) We came across a beautiful hibiscus growing wild here on our farm and I was amazed at the size fo the bloom growing there naturally. This is one of my very favorite pictures of her and I think you'll see why, she just radiates. I think you'll enjoy this kit, it's full of romantic, sweet and soft elements and lots of flowers."

10 U.S. Code § 8210 - Regular Air Force: strength in grade; general officers
(a) Subject to section 526 of this title, the authorized strength of the Regular Air Force in general officers on the active-duty list is 75/10,000 of the authorized strength of the Regular Air Force in commissioned officers on the active-duty list. Of this authorized strength, not more than one-half may be in a regular grade above brigadier general.
(b) When the application of subsection (a) results in a fraction, a fraction of one-half or more is counted as one, and a fraction of less than one-half is disregarded.

|10:506a(a) (1st, 2d, and 3d provisos).

|10:506a(a) (last proviso).
As enacted, section 503(a) of the Officer Personnel Act of 1947 (10:506a(a)) provided, subject to certain percentage limitations, for the following authorized strength of the Regular Army in general officers on the active list:
|Medical Corps
|Dental Corps
|Veterinary Corps
|The Chaplains
|Army, exclusive of the above
Under section 208(e) of the National Security Act of 1947 (5 U.S.C. 626c(e)), allocations of those authorized strengths were made between the Army and the Air Force as follows:
|Air Force
|Medical Corps
|Dental Corps
|Veterinary Corps
|The Chaplains
|Army and Air Force, exclusive of the above
After the enactment of the Officer Personnel Act of 1947, section 308 of the Army Organization Act of 1950 (10:61–1) provided for an Assistant Judge Advocate General and three brigadier generals in the Judge Advocate General's Corps of the Army. The creation of these four general officer spaces served to increase the mentioned authorized strength figure from 357 to 361, and the figure 201 to 205. The opinion of the Judge Advocate General of the Army (JAGA 1948/5806, 2 Sept. 1948) is in accord with that conclusion.
The revised section reflects the authorized strength of the Regular Air Force in general officers on the active list resulting from the mentioned allocation to the Air Force.
That allocation, and those mentioned in the explanation of subsection (c) below, have had the force of law since July 26, 1950, when the period for transfers, including the administrative authority to change these allocations, expired.
The word "regular" is substituted for the word "permanent" throughout the revised subsection.
In subsection (c), 10:506a(a) (1st proviso) is omitted, since there is no authority to appoint to a regular grade above major general. 10:506a(a) (last 65 words of 2d proviso) is omitted as executed by the declaration of a national emergency on December 16, 1950.
In subsection (c)(1), the figures "4" and "2" result from the allocation of the original figures "16" and "8".
In subsection (c)(2), the figure "1" results from the allocation of the original figures "4" and "2".
In subsection (c)(3), the figure "1" results from the allocation of the original figures "2" and "1". (The major general was allocated to the Army, the brigadier general to the Air Force.)
In subsection (c)(4), the figures "150" and "75" result from the allocation of the original figures "334" and "167". That allocation corresponds to the allotment made by the Secretary of War between the Air Corps and the Army exclusive of the Air Corps, the Medical Department, and the Chaplains, under 10: 506a(a) (3d proviso). That proviso is omitted as executed.
In subsection (e), the words "by law to hold any civil office under the United States" are substituted for the words "by Acts of Congress to hold appointments in the Diplomatic or Consular Service of the Government or to hold any civil office under the Government".

What do students expect when selecting their nursing program of study? Faculty at Georgia Baptist College of Nursing believe they expect a supportive, caring, and compassionate environment of learning, high level of resources to support their education, opportunities to expand their learning both globally and through research, and innovative technology to enhance their learning. Faculty also believe we meet these expectations on every level.
New students arrived this semester very eager to be part of an ESTABLISHED nursing program with a proven track record of success. Some students came to begin their study of nursing hoping to commence their professional careers in a few years, while others entered graduate coursework to advance their nursing career. What makes this school distinctive is plain and simple; it's the experience! From the time of recruitment through their completion of study, each student is cultivated, nurtured, educated, and supported to reach their highest potential. We maintain the motto, 'if we admit you, we commit to you.' Undergraduate students have numerous opportunities to engage in professional leadership through student organizations. The College remains one of the few programs in Georgia and the southeast with 100% school enrollment in the National Student Nurses Association. Graduate students are mentored by faculty in coursework and faculty assist with arranging their clinical experiences with the brightest and most experienced clinical preceptors in the state of Georgia. The Ph.D. degree program was the fourth nursing research doctoral program in the state and it has grown to become the largest Ph.D. in nursing degree program.
Our graduates remain among the highest recruited nurses. We are true to our mission: to excel in teaching, scholarship, leadership, practice, research, and service, while embracing the core values of the College. We are GBCN and we remain very proud of our heritage and continued success. It's all ....part of the experience.
