The Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology (WIN) and the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) will share QNC, a 285,000-square-foot facility for future innovation in nanotechnology and quantum information. QNC will provide the equipment and collaborative opportunities to researchers to carry out pioneering experiments, explore new materials and processes and develop advanced technologies.
The $160 million QNC fulfills the most rigorous standards to perform quantum-scale experiments. It comprises a six-story central atrium at the center of the building bordered by flexible spaces to promote interaction and collaboration.
Mike Lazaridis, a philanthropist, contributed significantly to the construction of this new building, which holds the potential to further improve the University of Waterloo's venerable reputation as a global center of research and innovation. University leaders, researchers, students, political and community leaders are invited for the grand opening ceremony of this unique state-of-the-art facility. The university will also host a Public Open House on September 29, 2012, to share the pleasure with the community.
According to the University of Waterloo's President and Vice-Chancellor, Feridun Hamdullahpur, this world-class facility provides the opportunity to multidisciplinary researchers and students to jointly work on the development of future scientific and technological innovations.
Executive Director of the Institute for Quantum Computing, Raymond Laflamme stated that by exploiting the nano-scale world's quantum properties, scientists will invent novel technologies that will transform the ways people live, communicate, work and play.
Executive Director of the Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology, Arthur Carty commented that future quantum devices will be developed using nanomaterials and will be facilitated by nanotechnology, which serves as the bridge to quantum. This new building is a great opportunity for technological collaboration that shows promise to transform the world.

Barnard Reach Out (BRO) & The Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Of Service
Barnard Reach Out (BRO) places groups of Barnard College students at various sites throughout New York City for a day of service. BRO is designed to give all Barnard students the opportunity to become involved with community service in the New York City area. We hope that by becoming involved with such opportunities, students will continue to give back to the community throughout their time at Barnard.
In honor of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s inspiring legacy of selfless service, social justice, and community building, each year we hold a BRO Day of Serivce in his honor. MLK Day BRO is open to all Barnard students and is an excellent opportunity to reconnect with our community.
Information on the 2015 MLK Day BRO will be available in late Fall. Please check back then and explore other NYCCEP programs for current service opportunities!

Martha Mock / Ken Huth Photo
- Filed Under
Martha Mock is an advocate for change, especially in regards to policies that affect people with disabilities.
I want to see 100 percent of people with developmental disabilities get what they need from the education system and the workforce, says Mock, who serves dual roles as an assistant professor in the University of Rochester Warner School for Education and UR Medical Center's Department of Pediatrics, and as co-founder and director of the Institute for Innovative Transition at UR.
As director of the Institute for Innovative Transition (IIT), Mock aims to improve the quality of life for individuals with disabilities and their families as they transition from school age to adulthood. Launched in 2008, IIT is a collaboration of the Golisano Foundation, the Warner School of Education at UR, and the Division of Neurodevelopmental and Behavioral Pediatrics at UR.
I want to break the molds that people have in their minds about disabilities, said Mock, who recently received the Marc Gold Innovative Practices in Transition Award, a national honor, from the Division on Career Development and Transition.
According to Mock, research found that people with disabilities want to work in more competitive fields, but lack the opportunities to do so. Along with her colleague Susan Hetherington, Mock developed programs for IIT that would help people with disabilities achieve their goals.
I believe in replicating program models that have worked in other parts of the world, she says. One such program is Project SEARCH, which helps high school students transition into the workforce by giving them hands-on experience at local companies.
Nationwide, the employment rate for people with developmental disabilities is 20 percent, but Project SEARCH participants show an employment rate of 75 percent and higher.
Another program, Think College NY! works in collaboration with area colleges to increase postsecondary education opportunities for students with disabilities.
We need to give everyone choice and opportunity, she says. I am committed to finding solutions.
Personal: Age 45, of Brighton, married with one daughter, Delilah, age 7.
Occupation: Assistant Professor in the Warner School of Education and Human Development and the Department of Pediatrics, and the Director of the Institute for Innovative Transition at the University of Rochester.
Community activities: CP Rochester board member and chair of Consumer Services Committee.
My favorite thing to do in Rochester: Be outside in the summer time with my family.
Biggest challenge Ive overcome and how I did it: One of the biggest challenges Ive overcome is moving to Rochester without a job. When I moved from out of state to Rochester, my husband had a job and I did not. I began as an adjunct professor and literally worked my way up.
One thing Ive always wanted to do but never have: To spend six months in the south of France. (At this point Id settle for one winter in Florida!)
If I could change one thing about myself it would be: More patience with systems that dont work or are slow to change. (Although this might make my life easier, it is my lack of patience for slow change that often drives the professional work I do.)
The talent I would most like to have: Be a singer in a band!
The one thing I cant live without: My family, especially my daughters insightful observations about life, and how she keeps my husband and me on our toes.
My favorite movie: Madagascar (the first one! Yes, I have a 7-year-old.)
One of my favorite sayings is: A community that excludes even one of its membersis no community at all. Dan Wilkens
A person who has inspired me (and why): My maternal grandmother, Susie, rose out of poverty through faith, tenacity and hard work. My paternal grandmother, Mary, worked as a bookkeeper when it was not popular for women to work outside the home. Each of my parents inherited their strong work ethic, drive and high standards, which they passed on to me!

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - State health officials say a woman in
her 50s in Dale County in southeast Alabama has died as a result of
H1N1 flu.
Alabama Department of Public Health officials said Thursday
there have now been a total of eight deaths in Alabama attributed
to the virus.
Officials said the death shows the need for Alabama residents to
take precautions such as washing hands to prevent the spread of the
virus and to be immunized for both seasonal and H1N1 influenza when
vaccine becomes available.
The H1N1 virus is expected to be available in October.

When bad weather rolls through the area like we saw earlier this week, it usually brings with it less-than-honest people out to make a quick buck.
That's why you need to be on the lookout for fly-by-night tree cutting operations.
A legitimate tree cutter should present a license and liability insurance when their service is requested.
If they aren't licensed, you will have to clean the debris up yourself.
If they are a commercially owned company, that company will remove what they've cut down.
"You should look for trucks that are not lettered, magnetic signs; most of our trucks have lettering on them, anything that has a temporary business standpoint," said Bruce Strickland of Dothan Tree Service.
To find out if a company has a business license, you can call the city of Dothan's Planning And Development Office at 615-4410.

Countdown: Top 15 Hottest Housewives

kyle richards red dress
By Rebecca Silverstein
Being a housewife is a dirty job. Housewives cook your dinner, do your laundry and scrub your toilet. But that doesn't mean they can't also look great. Check out Wonderwall's countdown of pop culture's sexiest stay-at-home moms.
15. Kyle Richards, "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills"
Kyle -- aunt to Paris and Nicky Hilton, sister to Kathy Hilton -- kicks off our list. The former child star has put her acting days behind her in lieu of a simpler, more domestic life, but she hasn't left Hollywood behind altogether: She and sister Kim Richards are starring on Bravo's newest "Housewives" series, based in Beverly Hills (where else?).

Among the Great Whales
Visit Gentle Gray Whales Up Close in Baja's Protected Waters
Each winter, gray whales migrate from their Arctic feeding grounds to breed and rear their young in the sheltered lagoons of Mexico's Baja Peninsula, making it one of the world's premier whale watching cruise destinations. The annual journey is the longest mammal migration on earth, covering more than 10,000 miles round-trip. In the protected waters of Bahia Magdalena, we venture among the whales in motorized Zodiac rafts, offering the rare privilege of a close-up, water-level perspective. We're positioned perfectly for the moving encounters we frequently have with these friendly mammals, which sometimes approach our boats. We also enjoy naturalist-guided walks on uninhabited islands, swimming, snorkeling and kayaking in the Sea of Cortez. Whales, dolphins, sea lions, blue-footed boobies and frigatebirds, huge cardon cacti, mangroves and sand dunes are among the natural attractions travelers will encounter.
Trip Highlights
- Experience magical encounters with one of the world's largest and most captivating mammals, up close and personal!
- Witness the start of the gray whale calves' life journey as they prepare to migrate northward up the Pacific Coast to Alaska
- Discover the fascinating ecosystems of Baja on guided walks ashore through desert and dunes
Reading List
Longitude Books has created a custom comprehensive listing of Among the Great Whales adventure travel books for this trip.

SHELTON, Wash. – For the seventh consecutive year, Mason General Hospital & Family of Clinics has received the prestigious, "Most Wired" Hospital award, this year competing with nearly 2,000 hospitals surveyed across the nation in information systems capability. The Hospitals & Health Networks (H&HN) Most Wired Survey identified MGH&FC as one of the top hospitals in the country that were given this designation. The Most Wired Survey is conducted annually and publishes its findings and the names of the nation's Most Wired hospitals and health systems in H&HN magazine, a publication of the Journal of the American Hospital Association.
MGH&FC first received the "Most Wired"- Rural Hospital award in 2008 and 2009, and then in 2010 it was reclassified to be included in not just rural, but all hospitals, nationwide. Every year since then ‒ 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and now 2014 ‒ MGH&FC has received the Most Wired Hospital award for information technology (IT) that implements systems to ensure quality and improve efficiency in the delivery of patient care.
The Most Wired Hospital award is based on four categories: infrastructure, business and administrative management, clinical quality and safety, and clinical integration. It also focuses on how hospitals use information technologies for quality of care, customer service, public health and safety, business processes, and workforce issues. Most Wired hospitals have better drug formulary checks and drug interaction alerts than hospitals in general, and are better prepared for security breaches, employing more tools to protect patient data. They monitor their IT performance more closely, and monitor their health system's overall performance more thoroughly, as well as engaging more patients online in social media sites.
"I'd like to acknowledge our Chief Information Officer, Tom Hornburg, for his leadership in ensuring that Mason General Hospital & Family of Clinics continues to be at the forefront nationally for information system technology," said Eric Moll, MGH&FC's CEO.
MGH is approved by the Joint Commission, and is a licensed and accredited acute care hospital with a level four emergency trauma designation. There are more than 100 physicians on staff in 19 specialties. For more information go to www.MasonGeneral.com.

Abanaki Corp. has added the EconoMini™ oil skimmer to its line of oil removal equipment. The device is ultra-compact at approximately 4" x 3" x 4" and weighs in at 6 pounds. This is the perfect skimmer to use in tight spaces, such as on parts-washer tanks and coolant sumps. It can even be used to skim oil through the 2" opening of a 55-gallon drum. EconoMini requires no assembly and little mounting space. Belts are available in either polyurethane or stainless steel and lengths of 8-, 12-, 18-, and 24-inches.
Assured Automation's line of resilient seated butterfly valves offer high-flow coefficients, ISO top mounting, a one-piece body with a self-centering disc, and a large selection of direct-mount actuators and gear operators. The valves are available in sizes 2 through 12 inches with a pressure rating up to 225 psi, and the 14- to 24-inch valves have a pressure rating up to 160 psi.
EMUPORT Packaged Lift Stations from WILO EMU are available with an integral solids separation system. The robust system prevents lift station blockages, including systems with a high percentage of solid content. This includes sewage containing material that will not dissolve. The dry-pit design allows pumps to be maintained without contact with the sewage, and it can be installed above or below ground. Sewage flows into a collection chamber where the solid content is held.
Koch Membrane Systems' Puron® submerged membrane modules are designed for membrane bioreactor treatment of municipal and industrial wastewater. The aeration system ensures optimal solids management, a high-flow rate, and reliable operation. The air nozzle discharges air from the center of each fiber bundle at the base. The combination of rising air bubbles, resulting hydraulic cross flow, and the seaweed-like movement of the membrane filters comprise an energy-efficient process that ensures even sludge, hair, and other fibrous components are dislodged and moved out of the system.

Gojii as a "Risk-Adjusted Forecasting" Tool
The Association for Financial Professionals recently published a white paper on "Risk-Adjusted Forecasting". The paper discusses the state of the art in forecasting processes with a focus on dealing with the "risk" (what I would call uncertainty) inherent in those forecasts. Our tool Gojii is a risk adjusted forecasting tool as described in this white paper. While I don't agree with everything in the paper there are some great insights. Here's a quote from the white paper introduction:
Our tool, Gojii, uses system simulation to calculate the impact of uncertainties at a "high level of precision" including feedback and non-linearities in the system. It integrates the simulation with the capability to visualize and analyze the results in a meaningful way.
Overall I like the paper a lot. Certainly, I agree that the concept of risk adjustment is "in front of the market". And the observations of the disconnect between forecasting and ERP/ERM systems are right on.
I'd take issue on a couple of things about the paper. Probably most importantly I think that the word "risk" is used to mean both "uncertainty" and "the adverse impact of uncertainty". They're both important but only the latter is actually risk. Sharpening up that language would lead to greater insight.
Also, I would say that the approaches presented are overly reliant on estimated probabilities in the risk calculations. In Gojii, we take uncertain inputs to be deeply uncertain. By that we mean that different stakeholders will have different perspectives on the nature of the uncertainty and that no closed form probability distribution will adequately express the risk. You can watch the screencasts to see how that works.
And, while I think that the qualitative approaches described may be better than nothing there is overwhelming evidence that without tools to calculate the impact of non-linearities managers will usually get it wrong.
You can find the white paper at the AFP website (login is going to be required) or it appears that you can get it via an advertising linkup with "Wdesk". (Probably easier unless you are already an AFP member).
Putting "Big Data" to Work Using System Simulation
Firms are making big investments in data but in many cases they are having trouble getting the return from it that they expect. Data, big or otherwise, has to be put to work if it is going to impact management policy and decision making.
In this screencast I describe the value proposition for data and how decision technology based on system simulation puts data to work.
Anylogic System Simulation at the Heart of Gojii
If you've read this blog post, watched the screencasts, or read this presentation then you know that Gojii, and all of our work at DecisioTech is based on system simulation models. System simulation is a type of "cause and effect" modeling that captures the time delays, non-linearities, and especially feedback effects that make the real world the unpredictable place that it is. System simulation can be contrasted with statistical or probabilistic approaches that are only loosely based on cause and effect structures.
The system simulation at the heart of Gojii describes the interactions of a firms operations with the marketplace. It captures the fact that a firms behavior affects the market and vice versa. This simulation is a real challenge to create because the modeling technology needed to model markets is quite different than the technology needed to model a manufacturing line.
The Anylogic Company provides the perfect tools for this situation -- their "multi-method" Anylogic simulation engine. This is the tool that DecisioTech uses in all of their projects. The Gojii simulation uses components based on discrete-event methods, system dynamics approaches, some agent elements, and bits and pieces of Java code. This all comes together seamlessly in the Anylogic simulation engine leaving the modeler free to worry about solving the problem rather than managing the simulation technology.
If you're interested in system simulation then you should be using Anylogic.
Gojii Screencasts
I've been introducing and demo-ing Gojii to a wide variety of audiences (most recently at The Anylogic Conference) and my audiences always tell me that the presentation and live demo tell the Gojii story far more clearly than what we've able accomplish so far with web pages and text description.
So, I've done the obvious thing, and captured the Gojii Introductory pitch and demonstration as screencasts! The introductory 'cast is just over 7 minutes long and the demo runs about 5 minutes 30 seconds. So, in 13 minutes you can get a capsule overview of what we're up to!
Find the screencasts on the Gojii Screencasts Page.

My post about the idea of the "goal" of winning the World Series provoked some interesting responses and questions. One reader asked to see a list of the number of World Series won by each major league team since 1962. He wondered where the Mets would rank, wondering what legitimacy there might be to the idea of the Amazins as perennial underdogs, as a team that has not had its expected share of World Series success. Here's the list of World Series won since the Mets came into existence in 1962.
Yankees -7
Dodgers – 4
Cardinals – 4
A's – 4
Orioles – 3
Reds – 3
Marlins – 2
Blue Jays – 2
Mets -2
Pirates – 2
Red Sox – 2
Twins – 2
Tigers -2
White Sox – 1
Angels – 1
Diamondbacks – 1
Braves – 1
Royals – 1
Phillies – 1
11 teams with 0
By my count, 8 teams have been more successful than the Mets, as measured by the number of World Series won (I have included the Marlins and the Blue Jays, who have won two each, because they have not been in existence as long as the Mets). 4 teams have had as much success as the Mets. 17 teams have had less success, including the 11 teams that have not won a single World Series since 1962, or in the time in which they have been competing in the majors.
Among teams that have been in existence since 1962, 6 teams have been more successful than the Mets, 4 teams have been as successful, and 9 have been less successful.
Winning two World Series since 1962 is pretty good, if not stellar. Please keep that in mind if you are ever encouraged to think that winning a World Series is something any team has any right to expect in a particular year. For any team other than the Yankees, it is at most a (roughly) 5 times in a lifetime event. On average, a fan who roots for a team for all of a long life will see his or her team win the World Series two or three times.

TRENTON, N.J. (March 12, 2014) A New Jersey state judge, citing a woman's right to privacy, has ruled that mothers can decide who will be with them when giving birth and that extends to the fathers of the infants.
In the opinion released Monday, the judge cited privacy rights outlined in two federal abortion cases.
The case was argued over the telephone last year in Passaic County, N.J., while Rebecca DeLuccia went into labor and delivered a girl.
Her estranged fiancée, Steven Plotnick, wanted access to the baby at birth.
Plotnick's attorney, Laura Nunnink, told The Star-Ledger of Newark that it was important to her client to bond with the baby.
DeLuccia's lawyer, Joanna Brick, said DeLuccia allowed Plotnick to visit, and his lawyer says he saw the child.

Just bought a 2009 (58 plate) C-Max 1.8 Zetec and on the whole very pleased with it.
Do have one question though which the manual hasn't helped with....
I have managed to find the menu setting to go from imperial to metric measurements - needed to do this to get the outside airtemp display to show in centrigrade (and not fahrenheit) , but now the trip odometer is showing km instead of miles...
the manual gives the impression that it should be possible to change the display units for the trip odometer independently of the other systems, but I can't find a way to do it.
What I ideally want is for the outside temperature display to remain metric (centrigrade) but the trip odometer to show miles. Is this possible? (and is it something I can do myself or does it need to go into a garage to be changed?).

The Program
The study
of animal behavior has received an increasing amount of attention from
the public because of the emphasis placed by zoological parks on
behavioral biology and the large number of presentations in the media
regarding animal behavior and sociobiology. The Animal Behavior Concentration of the Interdisciplinary Studies major is
designed to offer a solid foundation in the diverse approaches used to
study behavioral biology. The program uses a carefully selected
combination of courses in biology and psychology to achieve this goal.
In addition, students are required to complete either an independent
research project or an internship in order to apply their knowledge in
an intensive research experience.
who complete the program may be qualified for positions at zoological
parks, aquariums and nature centers. In addition, they will have the
necessary technical knowledge to pursue a career in freelance writing
about animal behavior. However, students who are considering attending
graduate school will need to complete additional courses in either
biology or psychology. Most of the students currently enrolled in the
program also are majoring in either Biology or Psychology.
who are considering the Animal Behavior Concentration must meet with one of the
program directors before declaring Interdisciplinary Studies as a
Requirements for the Concentration
The Animal
Behavior Concentration requires students to complete 45 units with a grade
equivalent of 2.00 or higher. If 45 units have not been reached
following completion of the required courses, the additional course or
courses must be taken from the biology or psychology electives list.

New Hauschka track premiere up at FADER
FADER has premiered the first track from FatCat prepared-pianist/composer Hauschka's upcoming album, Salon des Amateurs. "Ping" displays the elegant modernity found in all of Hauschka mastermind Volker Bertelmann's compositions, but here his precise, delicate melodies are bolstered by a thumping, driving drumbeat.
Listen HERE.
Scheduled for release on 12 April in the US (11 April UK/Europe), Salon des Amateurs marks quite a stylistic shift from last fall's 'Foreign Landscapes', flipping the coin to show us this percussive, architectural side of Bertelmann's sonic oeuvre.
Hauschka will be embarking on a North American tour in support of 'Salon des Amateurs', accompanied by Samuli Kosminen of múm, whose drumming features prominently on the record.

Managing People
In today's more casual workplace, who gets hurt if a single, consenting CEO becomes involved with a staffer? Just about everyone
Harry knows Sally. Harry works with Sally. Harry also sleeps with Sally.
Harry is 53 years old, divorced, the father of three adolescent sons, and the self-assured CEO of a successful high-tech company in Santa Monica, Calif.
Sally is vice-president of marketing for Harry's company. She is single, is a magna cum laude graduate of the University of California, Berkeley, and has an extensive media background. Sally hopes to find her soul mate, but at 35 she's completely focused on her career and devoted to building her reputation as an ace marketer in the high-tech industry.
At Comdex, an industry conference in Las Vegas, Harry and Sally find they're both staying at New York-New York, a hotel and casino on the strip. One thing leads to another, and they become involved and end up spending the next three days together.
After Las Vegas they meet in Sally's apartment, at trade shows, and once for four days during a high-tech convention in Bermuda. At the office they pretend there's nothing going on, but rumors begin to run rampant.
What would you say to Harry or Sally if you thought their affair was negatively affecting the company? Negatively affecting productivity and morale? Negatively affecting how they were perceived internally?
To start with, I've found that virtually every interoffice affair has had some negative impact on morale as people suddenly see their colleagues or bosses in a more critical light. Productivity can also suffer; workers may lose sight of the company's mission -- and even feel demoralized -- as they get more enmeshed in the gossip and rumors surrounding the office dalliance. Also, the reputation and the career of at least one of the participants are likely to suffer. Ultimately, it can take months, or even years, to repair all the damage. So the simple answer is to tell Harry and Sally to cut it out or to ask them, "Are you crazy?" But they already know they're a little nuts for having an office romance that's becoming more public every day. Still, what about Harry and Sally themselves? Don't they deserve to have a little love in their lives or at least a good sexual relationship?
None of those questions has a simple answer. Affairs are complicated enough when they're not in the office. Affairs in the office are even more complex.
Though Harry and Sally are two consenting adults, they do work in the same company. And as if that weren't enough, it's a company in which Harry is the employer and Sally is the employee. Whenever we talk about employer and employee, doctor and patient, lawyer and client, teacher and student, president and intern, issues of power and the lack of power always need to be factored in. Plus, it's important to remember that we're talking about very different legalities today. Yesterday sex was a private matter. If an office romance ended badly and one of the participants was suddenly out of a job, the result would be hurt and angry feelings, whispered innuendo, and, possibly, an inflated severance payout issued in order to make the problem go away quietly. Today the same scenario could likely end as a legal matter, with public accusations and a sexual-harassment suit.
There's another factor built into the scenario, which has to do with Harry's psychological state. If Harry had gone out and bought a red sports car or started bungee jumping, his employees would say, "Harry is having a midlife crisis," and they'd inevitably gossip about the trouble with Harry. But a midlife crisis is often a sign of midlife depression in men like Harry. I say "depression" because Harry, who is 53 years old, has begun to realize that there are no longer unlimited horizons in his future. He may still look good -- but for how much longer?
Whenever we talk about employer and employee, issues of power and the lack of power always need to be factored in.
Harry is nobody's fool, and he knows that his time is running out. He may not be as happy with his life as his brash, self-confident appearance suggests. He has a failed marriage behind him and kids who want to emulate his financial success without having to work as hard as he does, plus a stressful business to run each day.
He may be charming and cheerful in his public life, but Harry's also a man who releases his frustrations by pumping iron, running marathons, racing cars, and riding his expensive Harley on Sundays with a local motorcycle group. All that energy is expended, at least in part, to release his pent-up stress and tension.
Harry's affair with Sally may also be, in part, a way to relieve some of his stress. When Harry's turned on, his adrenaline flows and the endorphins pump, and he feels alive instead of dead. He feels terrific, and his depression lifts. "Sally makes me feel young again," he says, and he's right.
Of course, that's Harry's perspective. There may be an enormous difference in Sally's perception of the affair.
What might have started for Sally as a sexual escapade may have rapidly become the primary focus of many of her hopes and dreams for the future. So much so that what she might once have viewed as insignificant could now be a critical component of her life.
This disparity of viewpoints can get even dicier. While one of the lovers may at some point have said, "I love you," and really meant, "This is the best sex I've ever had," the other might have interpreted the same comment to mean they were both on the same page in terms of a more permanent, more committed relationship.
From my experience in dealing with about 100 such office romances, I'd guess that 95% end in a bitter split. The participant who expects to build a secure future with his or her paramour ends up rejected and hurt. If the rebuffed lover is the employee, he or she may have little recourse other than getting another job, moving to another city, or filing a lawsuit -- all of which I have seen happen.
Today many sexual-harassment settlements and judgments spring from interoffice relationships gone sour. Most managers and supervisors believe that a consensual affair is OK, but in fact, it's not OK. The fallout is often damaging to both parties.
Jilted partners sometimes later claim, often falsely, that they did not consent to the affair. They'll say their partners coerced the sexual relationship with threats of adverse consequences. They may also claim that "yes, it started as a consensual relationship," but then they'll explain, "when I tried to end the affair, my partner threatened me with termination or adverse consequences." Reputations can be ruined and careers ended by such accusations.
Lawsuits also generate expenditures, and in today's litigious atmosphere the deeper the company's pockets, the more likely the lawsuit.
Even if a lawsuit generates an insignificant settlement, the hidden monetary costs can be severe. Let's assume that a plaintiff lost no wages and a jury determines that he or she suffered only minimal emotional distress -- so the jury awards only $25,000 in damages and no punitive damages. It's a victory for the employer, right? Wrong, because by the time the case has gone to trial, aside from the negative public relations such a lawsuit inevitably generates, the company has very likely spent $250,000 in defense costs and fees, and the employer will probably be ordered to pay the plaintiff's costs and fees, potentially another $250,000.
So the results are actually: verdict, $25,000; costs, $525,000. Plus, of course, the incalculable, nonlegal costs of bad external publicity and harmful internal notoriety.
For example, let's say that Ted, who is a 15-year employee of Harry's company, a superstar in charge of product development, and one of Harry's most valued hires, begins to question Harry's judgment as the affair with Sally unfolds. Ted comes to doubt the CEO's intensity and focus. He eventually goes to work for a competitor. In his new position as executive vice-president in charge of marketing, Ted uses all his acquired knowledge of Harry's company and its goals, undoubtedly becoming a threat to Harry's market share.
How many customers will Ted take with him over the next few years? And how many of Harry's employees? If Ted's brilliant #2 person doesn't have a noncompete clause in her contract with Harry, she may follow Ted, as may many of Harry's best staffers. Furthermore, what will it cost Harry and his stockholders if Ted's replacement doesn't cut it (50% likely), or if Ted's successor doesn't inspire the creative but difficult product-development staff that Ted motivated so well?
Great people stay at their jobs not because of a few dollars here and there but because they believe in their CEO's judgment and focus. Every entrepreneur worries about losing key people to the competition, and Harry is no exception. For him, Ted's departure could be catastrophic.
So the next time Harry or Sally asks, "What do you think I should do?" tell the truth but realize that as the messenger, you have a good chance of being shot. Most couples know that an interoffice romance goes against common sense, but they've chosen to ignore common sense and professionalism, as well as most conventional and unconventional wisdom.
About 100 years ago Freud said, "The keys to happiness are love and work," and I agree. About love at work he unfortunately said nothing.

A Ford Focus sits on display at a Manhattan car dealership on July 24, 2013, in New York City. Legislation in Michigan to be signed by Gov. Rick Snyder on Wednesday, Nov. 6, 2013, will give car buyers a sales tax break on their trade-in. / Spencer Platt/Getty Images
LANSING — Car and boat buyers who trade in their used models will get a sales tax break starting Dec. 15 under legislation Gov. Rick Snyder signed into law Wednesday.
Snyder, joined by state lawmakers who sponsored the legislation, signed the new law at the Shaheen Chevrolet dealership in Lansing.
This will reduce the cost when you buy a new vehicle in Michigan, Snyder said at the news conference. Hopefully this will stimulate new sales.
Currently, a person who buys a $20,000 vehicle with a $5,000 trade-in pays the dealer $15,000, but the buyer pays the 6% sales tax on the full $20,000 price. The new law will phase out that sales tax on the difference over 25 years for cars, while giving boat buyers an immediate tax break on the full trade-in value.
For cars and light trucks, people will no longer pay the sales tax on up to $2,000 of the value of their trade-in the first year. Thats a savings of up to $120.
Going forward, the amount of the trade-in value that can be subtracted from the sales price will increase by $500 a year, meaning the tax break will increase by $30 per year.
Snyder had to be convinced to support the bill, however, because it will cost the state about $300 million in tax revenues.
We had the resources set aside to do some relief, he said. And we have the continuing improvement in Michigans economy, which helps with revenues in other areas.
Michigan was one of only six states in the country that charged the full sales tax on new vehicles. Sen. David Robertson, R-Grand Blanc, the sponsor of the bill, said it will especially help dealerships in border counties that have to compete with neighboring states.
My focus was on reducing tax burden on Michigan citizens for these major purchases, he said. And it will create a great competitive opportunity for our car dealers.
Legislative analysts estimate the legislation will cut sales tax revenue by $125 million to $150 million a year, once it is fully phased in.
Even though the bill wont go into effect until Dec. 15, some car buyers will get some immediate relief. Ralph Shaheen, one of the owners of the Lansing dealership, said hes already offering $120 rebates to customers until the new law goes into effect.

Perhaps nobody has done more to inspire both innovation and laziness with the very same invention. Eugene Polley, inventor of the wireless remote control, died Sunday at the age of 96. Polley's masterpiece was first introduced by Zenith in 1955, the same year that Gunsmoke, The Honeymooners and Captain Kangaroo took to the air.
"It's something I'm afraid we kind of take for granted, and so I think this loss is not going to get that kind of attention that it probably deserves," Engadget Managing Editor Darren Murph told Just My Show. "To me, it's way more than the remote control akin to a TV. It's actually more of something that changed the game from an ideological standpoint. Today, if it's not wireless, it's a problem from the get go."
But where does the seemingly simple remote control rank among the latest and greatest innovations treasured by techies? In terms of game changing technology for consumers, Murph believes that Polley's invention is still right up there at the top of the list.
"It might even be above the iPod, Murph told JMS. "The iPod basically stuck to music. It didn't really go outside of that realm too much, but the wireless remote has impacted so many things across so many boundaries. It's definitely in my top five for technological innovations that have changed the way we see things now."
But in an era where technology is constantly changing, the remote control's greatest legacy may be it's longevity.
"This thing has lived on for decades and it's not going anywhere anytime soon," Murph projects. "And it's really rare for a technology to last that long. I mean, even if you look at the CD, it's been around forever but it's quickly going out of style. But I really doubt that wireless transmissions as it relates to user interface is going to go out of style anytime soon. And it's kind of amazing what he started. I don't even know if he knew exactly what kind of revolution he was going to start."
Chilling on the couch with a bag of Cheetos likely isn't going out of style either. Thanks Eugene.

Nissan concept hints at new MuranoComment on this story
Detroit Motor Show - Nissan is taking a bold step into the future of crossover design with its Resonance concept.
Word on the street is that the new concept hints at the design of the next-generation Murano crossover, which is due soon.
Penned at Nissan's California design studio in San Diego, it makes a bold statement from all angles. At the front we see a huge, truck-like grille flanked by boomerang-style headlights, while the back end sees a 'floating roof' design that reminds us of the Citroën DS5.
Fitted with 22-inch alloy wheels, it looks planted and ready to pounce - although it seems the engine equation is geared more towards economy than performance.
Nissan has not released any power or performance figures, but has stated that the Resonance is fitted with a hybrid powertrain that mates a 'smaller displacement' petrol engine with an electric motor.
The system channels power to all four wheels via Nissan's Xtronic continuously variable transmission.
When speaking of the interior, Nissan said its designers "imagined what the future of first-class space travel might be: welcoming yet exclusive and high-tech yet premium."
Occupants are greeted by sequential 'welcome lighting' and the driver is faced with graphically-layered infotainment and communication features.
In the words of Nissan's product strategy GM, Francois Bancon, "The Resonance interior reflects the enlightened modernity of today's crossover buyer, who values an amazing experience over traditional indulgence.
"The architecture of the cabin is open and structured. Like the exterior, it redefines and pushes the segment beyond convention."
The next Murano sure has a lot to live up to.

Kagawa set for United medicalComment on this story
Tokyo – Japanese international Shinji Kagawa was due to undergo a medical on Friday as he looks to seal his transfer to Premier League giants Manchester United, reports said.
The 23-year-old former Borussia Dortmund star left Tokyo's Narita airport late Thursday and was due in Manchester for just 11 hours during a 44-hour, 22,000-kilometre whirlwind trip.
"It's just a medical check. I hope it will end with no problem," the attacking midfielder, who helped Dortmund to the Bundesliga title for two straight years, told Japanese media at Narita airport.
Kagawa, who moved to Dortmund in 2010 from J-League side Cerezo Osaka, said he would not have time to see his new club's facilities including their Old Trafford ground on his current trip.
Kagawa said his new boss Sir Alex Ferguson had promised to use him behind a central striker in a 4-4-1-1 formation, the major daily Asahi Shimbun reported.
United announced earlier this month they had reached an agreement with Dortmund on Kagawa's transfer which would be completed once he had passed a medical and obtained a UK work permit.
The deal is thought to be worth around £12 million pounds. – Sapa-AFP

DSIJ hosts PSU Awards 2013
Posted on Apr 03 2014 | IBNS
New Delhi, Apr 3 : Indian investment magazine, Dalal Street Investment Journal (DSIJ), on Wednesday organized the PSU Awards 2013, to honour the Public Sector Undertakings (PSU) for their performances, here.
The DSIJ Group conferred 18 awards in various categories.
As always and to ensure that fair weightage is given to all categories of PSUs, the selection panel of experts had advised that all awards be divided into three categories -Maharatnas, Navratnas and Miniratnas.
This ensured that the Miniratnas got a fair chance to be conferred with the prestigious DSIJ awards.
The selection criterion for the awards was comprehensive, as the selection panel looked at multitude of parameters to evaluate performance of the company and every parameter was evaluated over an extended period of time.
This was to ensure that each of the awardees truly deserve the award. The parameters included size, growth, wealth builders, valuable and efficiency.
At the award ceremony, DSIJ also launched a book containing information on PSU Maharatanas, Navratnas and Miniratnas. The book has been dedicated to the 15 lakh PSU employees of the nation.
Present at the occasion were T K A Nair, Adviser to Prime Minister, India and Pritam Singh, Director General International Management Institute, New Delhi.
The DSIJ PSU Awards 2013 demonstrated the continuing faith of the Dalal Street Investment Journal in the Indian PSUs.
DSIJ started PSU Award in 2009 and this year they will be celebrating the fifth edition of PSU Awards.
This year witnessed some of the biggest names in the PSU sector attending the event.
Reflecting on the occasion, T K A Nair said, "The contribution of PSU's in the development of the country and the economy has been commendable, particularly in the light of a tough economic environment, red tape and stiff competition. I do not subscribe to the view that Indian PSU's are at an advantage because of favorable govt. policies."
Nair said, "Infact, as per a global study, Indian CEO's spend the most time in 'managing the environment', and more so the CEO's of PSU's. Despite these challenges, what I want to highlight is, more than the physical resources, it is the quality of leadership at these public undertakings that has made all the difference. Therefore the single biggest goal before us, is to manage the human resources, nurture and motivate them."
He added, "A good team is the single biggest criteria to evaluate the prospects of an enterprise. Therefore a robust HR framework that identifies retains and rewards such talent needs to be devised, if we were to maintain our competitive edge in the future. I would also like to see a higher representation of women in PSU's across roles."
Sanjay Padode, Managing Director of DSIJ Pvt. Ltd. said, "Dalal Street Investment Journal, which has democratized wealth creation for more than 27 years has always recognized the contribution of Indian Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) in building a robust society and economy for our nation. This recognition has manifested itself in the form of the most coveted 'DSIJ PSU AWARDS' since 2009."
Padode added, "These companies have been the pillars of the economy providing business opportunities for establishing the Indian Private sector whilst delivering on their social objectives of seeding development and prosperity in the country."

Cold weather advice for Winter 2014 through digital communications
Tuesday, January 13th, 2015 | Healthcare, News | No Comments
People are being encouraged to look at the impact on their health, and ways to keep warm, as temperatures are due to drop significantly in the coming weeks, causing NHS England to issue a cold weather alert. Every year more than 25,000 extra people die in England over the winter period, and many of these deaths are, experts say, preventable. As part of planning for the Winter months, the cold weather alert system is already in place with PHE working with the Met Office on the cold weather alert system. Sending health awareness messages about staying warm is part of the advice given for planning and preparedness for GP practices and CCGs. [Read More]

April Fools' Day is quite the hodge-podge in Second Life. Linden Lab doesn't generally pull pranks on the user-population (some may disagree with us on that) but there are hordes of different groups and communities, and even a relatively low percentage of hoaxers lead to literally hundreds of hoaxes, almost all of which are spread by word-of-mouth.
We'll quickly round up some of the most common gags that are going around this year (a few of which are perennials).
- Linden Lab is going back to charging for teleportation (the sum of L$1 per teleport). This one's formatted as a press-release, though the grammar is quirky enough to be a tip-off. Besides, this one came around the last two years as well.
- Linden Lab has been purchased outright by [Microsoft/Activision-Blizzard/Electric Sheep/7-11/NCsoft/AOL/Worlds.com/IBM].
- Linden Lab sells Second Life, to any of the aforementioned candidates, or to some unnamed group. Variation: Second Life is sold to Disney, but they will have to expand the allowable content in PG sims, because it is too strict for many of their children's titles.
- All free accounts that do not upgrade to premium will be canceled.
- Cory Ondrejka returns to Linden Lab (sort of) by marrying Philip Rosedale, in a tasteful, private handfasting. Cory's departure from the company was to bypass company policy on dating co-workers. Nobody seems clear on what Philip's wife and kids would think about this, let alone Cory's, but then, nobody seriously believes this one.
- Former US president George W Bush has been appointed the new CFO of Linden Lab. Not many people believe this one either.
- Prokofy Neva is appointed to the Linden Lab governance team as Prokofy Linden (another one that rolls around every year). Nobody wants to believe this one.
- A new virus will [eat your pet|cause your star to go nova|melt your PC|email your porn collection to your boss/grandma/local police] if you [do some thing], and you should tell everyone you know and everyone you meet! Too many people believe this one.
- Linden Lab rolls out the new Class 6 servers.
- All scripted dance objects will force you to do the macarena.
- Linden Lab and Blizzard are collaborating on Second Life of Warcraft (AKA SLoW).
There are dozens of variations on some of these. As always at this time of year, keep your heads down, and be cautious of surprising news. If it's really important, you'll be hearing more about it in the coming weeks anyway.
|Are you a part of the most widely-known collaborative virtual environment or keeping a close eye on it? Massively's Second Life coverage keeps you in the loop.

Some interesting thoughts from Tim Wilkins. Can anybody say "post-gay"?
Society in general and churches in particular mistakenly believe freedom from homosexuality is marrying, having 2.3 children and a dog in the back yard. A 2001 secular study on the possibility of change shows the depth of this ingrained 'doctrine'. Dr Robert Spitzer, a Columbia University professor interviewed men and women who said they used to be homosexual; I was one of many he questioned. As beneficial as his study was and as much as I appreciate the visibility it gave to change, his study measured heterosexual function of the former homosexual–again missing the real issue.
"But" you ask, "don't homosexuals need to become heterosexuals?" No! Scripture never states nor implies all people must be heterosexual; it does say explicitly, however, that we are to avoid all forms of sexual immorality, which includes homosexuality. With that in mind have we not at times given the impression that homosexuals must "convert" to heterosexuality? Jesus did not say "Go and make [heterosexuals]"; He said "go and make disciples."
"But" you ask, "isn't heterosexuality the opposite of homosexuality?" No! The opposite of homosexuality is holiness!
As I wrote earlier, the term former homosexual is inadequate if not inappropriate. We mistakenly think a person who has found freedom from same-sex attractions is now heterosexual. The former homosexual man or woman may now experience heterosexual feelings, but heterosexuality should never be his nor the churches' goal. Heterosexuality is in many cases, but not all, a byproduct of the homosexual's dealing with the primary issues — a distorted self-image and faulty thinking — both of which Satan uses to "gain control."
The church will do well to remember that singleness is not a sin, immorality is.
What all this means is that most of churches' advice to the homosexual misses the mark entirely!
A Christian friend who knows my testimony, met my wife Lisa and said "I can see why you left homosexuality; your wife is beautiful." While he is correct that Lisa is beautiful his statement, like so many, represents a global ignorance on the subject. If attractive women were the remedy for male homosexuality, there would be no gay men.
Many gay men ask me how to cultivate a romantic/sexual attraction to women. I tell them that is not the issue; the issue is a distorted/broken image. (I have often thought how devious our adversary is. He not only confuses men and women regarding their sexual identity, he also confuses them and the church as to what healing really is, thus compounding the problem.)
By dealing with the primary issue, gay men begin to see themselves as masculine and lesbians begin to see themselves as feminine; the same-sex attractions diminish and in many cases opposite-sex attractions occur.

Flabby, saggy skin under your neck is one of the signs of aging. But now new treatments can solve the problem without major surgery.
Lynda West did a double take when it looked like her youthful face was headed south.
"It was one of those where I'd seen several pictures of me and I was mortified to see, you know, this giant, you know, turkey neck and I just thought it was very aging."
Dr. Robert Weiss said there are non-evasive options. One is Exilis. It focuses radio frequency energy right on the area. "If you start doing facelifts when you're in your 40s, you're doomed to having to do them in your 50s and your 60s."
But Weiss said one solution is heat. "We can actually heat the skin to tighten it and we can heat the fat to make the fat cells leaky."
Some users said the heating also generates collagen responses.
"In heated or maybe slightly altered in some way and so it needs to be replaced," said Weiss.
And while heat is involved it's usually not uncomfortable.
"Patients describe this as a warm massage most people tend to want to just close their eyes and sit back and relax," Weiss said
Most people need a few half-hour treatments.
Weiss said that three of four treatments result in tightening that lasts a year or two. "She may need to come back maybe once a year or once every other year for maintenance."

Thursday links: Pac-12 Networks vs. DirecTV is still the best matchup
Like a true rivalry, the matchup between Pac-12 Networks and DirecTV has tension, anticipation and a whole lot of bulletin board material.
After the Pac-12 Networks levied a shot across the bow at DirecTV on Tuesday with a statement that used words such as "absurd" and "betrayal," DirecTV responded on its website, referencing the "small number of exclusive Pac-12 Network games" and saying the cost of Pac-12 Networks would be passed along to all DirecTV customers, not just those who want to watch West Coast football.
Utah will play Arizona State on Pac-12 Networks on Saturday at 8 p.m., meaning your best bet for watching the game, if you have DirecTV is probably going to Tempe.
