TELEVISION; Home Sweet Workplace, Nest of Neuroses
Published: May 17, 1998
CARTER, the token gay black male in his office, plans to go on ''Good Morning America'' and embarrass his employer (the Mayor) with a firsthand story of urban racism. Mike, the Deputy Mayor, tries to dissuade him. ''Look, Carter, we're a family here, O.K.? Let's just deal with this problem the way any American family handles a crisis.'' ''And how is that?'' asks Carter (Michael Boatman). ''Well,'' says Mike (Michael J. Fox), ''we sweep it under the rug, get drunk and don't talk about it.''
The dysfunctional office family, as described in that scene from ABC's ''Spin City,'' isn't exactly a new television phenomenon, but in recent seasons it has taken a turn for the deranged on series like ''Spin City,'' ''Just Shoot Me,'' ''News Radio'' and ''The Drew Carey Show.'' At a time when Americans are devoting more and more hours to work, they see the workplace reflected in prime time as a hotbed of neurosis, with a little psychosis thrown in. What ever happened to reasonably sane office mates like Mary Richards, Lou Grant, Murray Slaughter and Ted Baxter (I said, reasonably) of ''The Mary Tyler Moore Show''?
Of course, people still took long, friendly nonbusiness lunches in Mary's day. Maybe the new centrality of work in our lives and all those extra hours together, in high-stress mode, have actually driven everyone at the office insane.
It's difficult to choose the most deeply disturbed sitcom character on the current schedule, but Paul Lassiter (Richard Kind) of ''Spin City'' is a definite candidate. Paul has problems with power. ''When I'm behind this desk, I'm in the loop, and I like the loop,'' he announces when given the assignment of interviewing job candidates. How does Mike, his boss, feel about that? ''I don't know,'' says Paul, with visible self-satisfaction, ''but you'd have to go through me to find out.'' Paul is also desperate to be liked but doomed to say the wrong thing (in an effort to prove he's not racist, he greets a co-worker with ''Hello, black man''), painfully cheap and allergic to his own sweat.
In the same office, Stuart Bondek (Alan Ruck) specializes in mean and crude. When Stuart buys doughnuts, he always gets one fewer than there are people, just so someone will be disappointed. When told that Mike is having a romantic reunion with his old girlfriend on top of the Empire State Building, he says, ''It's beautiful,'' then adds that it's a sure way to get her into bed.
The workplace family begins with the parent figure: the boss. The irrational, demanding boss has been a fixture on sitcoms since Carl Reiner as Alan Brady tortured his television show's hard-working writers on ''The Dick Van Dyke Show'' in the early 1960's. One episode on ABC's ''Drew Carey Show'' played with that stereotype.
Drew (Mr. Carey as a character with the same name) is sitting quietly at his desk when his boss, the head of a department store's human resources department, suddenly appears. ''I just came out to tell you what a great job you're doing,'' says the boss, Mr. Wick, ''and how much we value you as an employee.''
Drew knows this can't be the real Mr. Wick. He pulls out a huge ''Men in Black''-style automatic weapon (which he apparently keeps under his desk) and accuses Wick of being a space alien in disguise. The alien confesses, ''We've come here to enslave you, put you in cubicles and make you work long hours with no chance of advancement.'' That sounds O.K. to Drew until the alien says there will be only 45 minutes for lunch. Then Drew blows him away.
The boss on ''Spin City'' is a different type altogether. Mayor Randall Winston (Barry Bostwick) is just a sweet imbecile who couldn't run a bake sale, much less New York City, without his Deputy's strong hand. Mayor Winston does stupid things like suddenly deciding to demonstrate push-ups at a press conference (he manages one). He has never heard of Mel Gibson or Sting. Mike saves the Mayor time after time and flatters him constantly (''You're not old, sir. You're mature. Women love mature''). For baby-boomer-age viewers, Mayor Winston may represent the inevitable role reversal when an elderly parent needs care. And because Mr. Bostwick is baby-boomer age himself, the series can show the character at his worst without being accused of ridiculing the elderly.
JACK GALLO (George Segal), the boss on NBC's hit ''Just Shoot Me,'' has the added disadvantage of being the real father of the show's central character. Jack, the publisher of Blush magazine, is a bold, confident guy married to a woman half his age. Maya Gallo (Laura San Giacomo) is his daughter from his first marriage, from which he was largely absent. This does not stop him, however, from addressing her as Peanut, Pickle and Pumpkin at staff meetings.
Jack's other employees think of him as a father, too. That fact makes it difficult for Elliott DiMauro (Enrico Colantoni), the staff photographer, when Jack asks to pose for him so he can give a sexy boudoir picture of himself to his wife. When Jack resists instructions during the shoot, Elliott suggests, ''The sooner you cooperate the sooner I can get into therapy and put this whole thing behind me.''

Last month, the Treasury Department reported that the federal government incurred a budget deficit of $1.3 trillion for fiscal year 2011, almost identical to the deficit it incurred in 2010.
CBO has a panel of economic advisers consisting of widely recognized experts on a range of issues. Members of the panel have a variety of backgrounds, areas of knowledge, and experience. We host periodic meetings of the advisers at our office and solicit their views between meetings via e-mail exchanges and telephone calls.
This morning Jeffrey Kling, CBO's Associate Director for Economic Analysis, spoke at the Annual Fall Research Conference of the Association for Public Policy Analysis & Management. His presentation—which can be viewed below—focused on CBO's use of evidence in the analysis of budget and economic policies.
During the past decade's operations in Afghanistan and Iraq, the U.S. military has come to rely heavily on the continuous presence overhead of both manned and unmanned aircraft.
One issue that complicates discussions of discretionary spending—including the question-and-answer portion of my testimony to the deficit-reduction committee—is the difference between "funding" and "outlays." That difference, which I'll explain in a moment, may seem rather technical, but it turns out to be very important in understanding the recent p
The U.S. military has come to rely on the Global Positioning System (GPS) to conduct many of its operations. The Department of Defense (DoD) is modernizing the system—in part to better counter deliberate interference—by purchasing new satellites and upgrading the systems that control the satellites.
This morning, for a second time, I testified before the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction—the body created under the recently enacted Budget Control Act (Public Law 112-25) to propose further deficit reductions.
From 1979 to 2007, real (inflation-adjusted) average household income, measured after government transfers and federal taxes, grew by 62 percent.

UNITED NATIONS — The U.N. Security Council called Friday for Yemen's president to immediately accept a deal to transfer power to his deputy and end escalating violence in the strategically located Middle East nation.
The council unanimously adopted a resolution expressing serious concern at the worsening security and deteriorating economic and humanitarian situation in Yemen "due to the lack of progress on a political settlement and the potential for the further escalation of violence."
President Ali Abdullah Saleh has so far balked at a U.S.-backed plan proposed by Saudi Arabia and its five smaller allies in the Gulf Cooperation Council to hand over power to his deputy and step down in exchange for immunity.

I think the last example "Normandy ((Redcar and Cleveland) England)" was intended to be Normanby (Redcar and Cleveland (England)). --Robert J. Rendall (talk) 11:56, 16 August 2013 (PDT)
The example under paragraph 1.7 should read Puerto Rico not Puerto Rica. MYERS, CCDA liaison to the MAC 2013/08/19
But otherwise, meh. Is it possible we're carrying the "de-abbreviation" effort too far? I understand and support it in the context of transcribed descriptive elements, but I'm not sure what we're accomplishing here, other than proving a slavish devotion to consistency. There's going to be an awful lot of authority cleanup to pursue, but to what end? MYERS, CCDA liaison to the MAC 2013/08/19

so has everyone started taking their prenantals and folic acid now. I will start mine today until doctor tells me otherwise. What are you taking and is DH/SO taking anything. My DH wants me to buy him mega men vitamens i have to look it up and see what he sould be taking. I really want a sticky baby this time.
I started taking prenatals a couple of weeks ago. I'm taking the gummy ones. I don't remember which brand they are but they are the only ones I can take without getting sick.
I have taken daily vits for the past 5 years, it is a cocktail of vits. I took the same vits all through preg with LO, if you know what to take you do not need to take "prenatals". All of my supplements are bought through an office you can by them elsewhere.
I've been taking them since January. DH isn't taking anything. I take Neevo-DHA.
Mommy to Grant Charles 10-5-07 & Gage Robert 6-29-13
Stepmama to Trinity 5-9-99
I don't think it has anything to do with it with my two kiddos. My DH was working out a lot in the gym and taking vitamins and portiens. These last two pregnancy's that i lost he hasn't been working out as much and isn't taking vitamins or protien. I don't think thats why i lost them but this time we are trying everything we can think of for a sticky baby.
I also am taking the gummy (target brand) but have been doing a lot of research and will be switching to these:
*Rainbow Light Women's One, Just Once Multivitamin (150 count), only cost $17.15 on amazon when you subscribe & save. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009KNLV...
*Nordic Naturals Prenatal DHA (180 count) www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004NXYP5...
For those of you who get nauseous these are supposed to be easier on your stomach.
Also there are prenatals now that you can drink that may work for you if you get nauseous. www.vitalah.com/prenatal.php

I just have been taking the generic Target prenatals. I honestly believe women of child-bearing years who is having active sex should take them, as you just never know. Once we start "trying", I will start taking the DHA's. I take mine at night, because even non-pregnant they still seem to induce nausea. It's the extra iron, just sits very heavily in my stomach :)

That is what my doctor recommended also, that every woman should be taking prenatals, especially if the are in anyway able to get pregnant....even accidentally.

"The most innovative country on the planet is blowing it. As we move full swing into an era of innovation, the United States should be educating to our creative strengths, but instead we're eroding the very characteristics that will enable our kids to thrive. We're setting kids up for a life without passion, purpose, or meaningful employment. Absent profound change, our country is a decade away from having 50 million chronically-unemployed young adults, adrift in life and awash in debt."
"NEW teachers are battling racial prejudice, principals who refuse to help handle seriously violent students and experienced colleagues who ostracise them, prompting calls for year-long internships to ease graduates into the profession.
UniSA-led research into new teachers' "resilience" in the job found schools took wildly different approaches to integrating new staff, some highly supportive and others leaving teachers isolated and helpless."

A study in the US gives US public schools a grade of "C" and says that there is not enough access to technology in schools. I think critical mass is building and demanding excellence in innovation in technology - of course, there is a price tag for this demand and with coffers shrinking it will require lots of creativity and hard work. Interesting study to share with policy makers.
Superintentendent of Quitman County Schools, Allen Fort, nails it with this article about being a superintendent of a rural school in Georgia. When budgets get cut by the state, rural schools hurt the most because their falling tax revenue means they get cut on both ends. Many rural schools are struggling and it is a shame what is happening in many of them. He talks about one of the biggest problems in rural schools which is a problem for all of us in an increasing way:
"A rural school in way too many students' lives does play the role of in loco parentis. In these buildings, the teachers, janitors, secretaries, lunch room workers, paraprofessionals, and bus drivers help them gain knowledge and understanding of the value of an education, acquire social skills and aspire to succeed, and in many, many cases they do."
You should take the time to read this past Sunday's AJC to get an understanding of the state of education in Georgia for indeed many other states have similar issues. I thought the whole piece done by the AJC had many different viewpoints - it was a great read.
PISA Scores help and hurt... of course, the world won't be happy until every country and every child and every system is at the 100th percentile - something that won't happen.
From Valerie Strauss about what Finland should do as the result of their "slipping" scores. In the Washington Post.
"Finland should also continue to let national education and youth policies — and not PISA — drive what is happening in schools. Reading, science, and mathematics are important in Finnish education system but so are social studies, arts, music, physical education, and various practical skills. Play and joy of learning characterize Finland's pre-schools and elementary classrooms. "
While not everyone community is as forward thinking as Kalamazoo, Michigan (which gives every child in that community a free college education at a public university of their choice in Michigan), helping children from low income families apply for college is imperative. I love this article because it gives practical advice and discusses the issues as well as some creative approaches. I think that the least communities could do is fund college application fees for low income students... helping kids go to college is a start, but a very important one.
From this AP Article from NBC Latino...
"Yet, nationally, about half of high school graduates from families making below $18,300 enrolled in college in 2012 compared to about 80 percent of those whose families earned above $90,500, according to the College Board.
In Washington, where Duarte lives, only 30 percent of high school graduates go to college – a lower percentage than the number who drop out of high school, despite the city having the highest level of college attainment in the nation, according to the College Board.
Nearly all the students at Roosevelt qualify for free or reduced lunches.
To help create a college-going culture, a bulletin board near the school's front doors features the names of seniors and the colleges they were accepted to. College acceptances are announced over the intercom."
So, if you want to peek inside Finland, there are 3 videos on this BBC Wales site that will give you what you want. This Diary of a math teacher in Finland gives you a peek. There's also two other great videos "Let teachers teach, say Finns" and "Finland Classroom Success Secrets." You can embed these that I can find, so you'll need to share the links and watch them on the site. These short videos are just under 4 minutes and would be great to share in a staff meeting.
These heartbreaking words from a teacher in the UK. As the world tries to improve education by the numbers, the world has forgotten kids aren't numbers. They are precious, individual and unique and deserve education systems that celebrate and encourage that. OK, teachers, it is time to man the media - you are the media now! Are you fed up yet? It might not be you right now, but if you don't speak, it will be, wherever you teach, such stories impact us all and the profession we care for so much.
"As a teacher, I vowed that I would work hard to nurture my students, to make each and every student feel valued and for them to know that they have a voice, and a place in the world.
However the last two years have made me feel like that insecure 14-year-old again: I have lost my confidence because of the overly-rigid current education system. We are constantly being told we are not good enough and that we are not doing enough: enough intervention, enough rigorous marking, enough sustained and rapid progress.
What excited me the most about becoming a teacher was discovering the hidden talents and sparks of genius in my students. However, it breaks my heart to say this, but I feel that I no longer have time, nor am I encouraged to make these discoveries.
We are so caught up with data and so many progress checks that we don't give our students the time to shine. I wonder what would happen if the greats of the world like Einstein, Gaudi, Picasso and Martin Luther King were to attend school in 2013, would they be able to cultivate their talents and thrive?"
Excellent post from Justin Tarte that deserves lots of shares. The only issue I have with the post is the use of the word "rigor" which I think is misused and misapplied all over education without questioning if that is actually the word we should use. I've heard people say "they're having fun -- that isn't rigorous." WHAT? Great post worth sharing.
Pernille Ripp's poignant post shares why more teachers don't refuse to give the tests. Unless it is done en masse, it can't really be done. That said, parents can refuse to have their children take the test without repercussions and in fact, a national opt out movement is brewing.
"If I were to refuse administering these state mandated tests, I would get in trouble. That is an absolute guarantee. And while I have never been one to shy away from too much controversy, the kind of trouble this time would be much bigger than a write up. I could even lose my job for failing to do my duties. To some that may not seem like a big deal, after all, I should be standing up for my students and their rights, my own opinions, I should protect those children that I teach from the tests. But my job is vital to my own children. My job is our health insurance. My job gives us just enough money so that we can pay our bills. I wish my husband had a huge paying job, he doesn't, and so we are a very dependent two income family. So losing my job refusing tests just isn't something I can rationally do and in a sense, I am not sure I should be the one refusing the tests anyway."
Joli Barker, author of the Fearless Classroom Blog, talks about how to become a fearless classroom in 3 steps. She's an inspirational practicing classroom teacher and I've blogged about her before. Just amazing what she does with technology, writing, and improving her classroom.
A show I recorded with Dawn Casey-Rowe, an overcomer who is using technology (and kickboxing too). She gives advice on transforming classrooms to demands all teachers face. She shares her thoughts about leading, learning, and embracing education technology.
I'm a huge fan of the American School of Bombay and visionary Shabbi Luthra - this article on Edutopia from PBL expert Suzie Boss captures so much about this amazing school that uses laptops at a very young age in ways that empower students to learn, create, and share. Shabbi is passionate about bringing the best to her school but also shares expects that what is brought and discussed there will be used. Such a great school - it is well worth attending ASB Un-Plugged when they host it just to see what they are doing. It is hard to find a better school anywhere in the world.
If you're dealing with leadership transitions in your district, Miguel Guhlin has penned a pretty epic post. In it, he is blunt about the ups and downs of working with great leaders, and "hatchet men." IN the post, he also includes steps to making staff development actually work and his frustration to be asked to read books that no one else read or implemented. This is a great post and one that leaders should read (so they can be visionary) and staff and teachers should read (so they can find wisdom for making it through tough transitions.) Every transition is tough - I've been through several myself during my 12 years and even when the leader is a very good one, it is hard to do and endure because so many people take their "eye off the ball" and the ball is learning in the classroom. Drama in the front office should be kept at a minimum so classroom learning can be kept at a maximum.
Pakistan is pushing to educate more of its children, amidst financial woes and a struggle for more funding. Their goal: 100% enrollment. Of course, there is a great effort also to build a firewall in Pakistan much like the "great firewall of China." That said, there are many lovely educators from Pakistan who contribute and connect increasingly online and I wish this country well as well as the many countries working to increase enrollment.
"As schools returned to session in Pakistan's northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province this fall, the newly elected provincial government – with the help of the non-profit campaign Alif Ailaan - launched an enrollment drive. In its first month, the drive managed to enroll nearly 245,000 out of school children – about 65% male and 35% female - across 25 districts of the province, according to figures provided by Alif Ailaan. But considering Pakistan's education woes, where more than 25 million children between the ages of 5-16 remain out of school, it is a small step.
"In order to provide schooling to all the kids, we need about Rs. 138 billion (roughly $1.2 billion) just in KP - for school infrastructure, classrooms, teachers so on and so forth," Joudat Ayaz, the province's education secretary, told me over dinner. Ayaz estimates the number of out of school children in KP between 2 to 3 million, about 20% to 30% of the school-age children in the province. "You can't do this [reaching 100% enrollment] in one go – you have to do it progressively, over six or seven years.""
An important read as we work to reinvent schools and make sure we measure authentic learning with more authentic measures than bubble trouble. ;-)
"In its first television foray, TED has joined forces with the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and the New York public broadcaster WNET for a one-hour special, "TED Talks Education," to be broadcast on PBS on Tuesday. If it is successful, the program could become a template for future joint projects, said Juliet Blake, one of the show's executive producers and the TED official charged with bringing the conferences to television."
I'm not partisan. There are some things that Aaron Maurer says in this post that make a lot of sense.
"What bothers me is this "punish the whole system method" employed in the education world. I agree that teachers need to be held accountable. However, I know that state test scores do not show what I teach. What happens in schools is that we never address the specific issues at hand. If a teacher is not doing their job, then call them out. Tell them, show them how they are messing up, and then give them a plan to improve. Help them with necessary skills. If they choose not to improve or they simply don't improve, then you let them go. No more of this keeping teachers for 30 years and for 30 years they have been bad. That affects too many children that need good quality teachers. Hold us accountable like we should be holding our students accountable."

I knew I needed a knee replacement, so I went to Chester County Hospital. There, my orthopaedic surgeon, the nursing team and convenient on-site rehab helped me get my life back in motion.

Military Readiness: Concepts, Choices, Consequences
Cooper, William R., Naval War College Review
Betts, Richard K. Military Readiness: Concepts, Choices, Consequenes. Washing ton, D.C.: Brookings Institution, 1995. 322pp. $42.95
When asked, any veteran of our modem armed forces will readily define what "readiness" means, both in a theoretical and practical sense. If pressed, most can probably recall how readiness affected them during various aspects of their careers. It is also likely that the veteran can also recount an instance of how an evaluation of readiness (usually by one's superior) can go bizarrely wrong. In this reviewer's case, it was the "randomly selected" readiness sortie of my destroyer in 1975 after we had removed both our SPS-40 and SPS-10 radar antennae for repair. I am sure there are numerous other tales of misconstrued and misapplied readiness criteria that continue to this day. One can begin to understand why this phenomenon occurs by carefully reading this admirable book by Richard Betts.
The author is a professor of political science at Columbia University and a former senior fellow in Foreign Policy Studies at the Brookings Institution. He has spent his career studying the more complex aspects of modern politicalmilitary affairs. In this work he explains why the United States has continued to have serious problems in understanding, planning, implementing, and measuring the many aspects of military readiness. He uses various excellent examples from recent history to illustrate how difficult it is to deal effectively with this topic, and he offers some keen insights into how we can change our national approach to this subject now that we have emerged victorious from the fortyyear Cold War.
In one section, Betts takes the topic of readiness and explores aspects of it by using some historical examples from the last seventy-five years. He points out that there can be two distinct definitions of readiness: readiness for when, and readiness for what. The former entails operational readiness much like that maintained during the Cold War it is based solely on the amount of time needed to react or respond to attack. The second type is structural readiness, which refers to how effectively an infrastructure supports mobilization.
Betts's "readiness for when" is finite in sustainment and execution, for resources can remain at such a threshold only for a limited period of time; they must be rotated regularly to permit rest, retraining, resupply, and refurbishment. If these forces are committed to battle, there are few reinforcements, and victory must be swift. Betts is speaking here of almost a "come-as-you-are war." There are considerable economic consequences involved in the endless yet routine rotation and refreshment of these forces.
In "readiness for what," there are very different costs, but these can also be significant: industrial capacity, stockpiles, war reserves, spare parts, training cadres, and other elements such as sealift and airlift. In addition, this background readiness can result in greater personnel casualties in advance units in the early phases of a conflict while the rest of the force is in the process of mobilization in the rear. …

I am not sick and for my 65 years I feel great except for some arthritis and GERD.
I was taking off my makeup a few days ago and when washing my neck received pain. Sure enough my lymph gland was swollen. I have no sore throat, no ear pain, no teeth pain and no fever. It's only painful if I touch it.
It's only one the one side of my neck, close to the front.
Should I see a Dr. or wait and see if it goes away?

Elsevier Author Robert Rich, MD: What Immunology Can Tell Us About Catching (up To) The Flu Virus
PHILADELPHIA, Jan, 9, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The United States is currently suffering a flu season that the Centers for Disease Control has described as the earliest since 2003-2004. Some 2,257 people have been hospitalized and 18 children have died from complications as of December 29, 2012. The CDC reports high rates of flu activity in 29 states characterized by an H3N2 strain that is associated with severe flu seasons. (Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130109/PH39861 )In 2013, why does influenza persist and remain so difficult to control? "The flu virus has an extraordinary capacity to reassort its genes and develop mutations that stay one step ahead of us," says Robert R. Rich, Professor of Medicine and Microbiology at The University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Medicine and editor of Clinical Immunology: Principles and Practice, [4 th Edition, Elsevier, December, 2012]."It's what we're up against every year when a new strain emerges. Then the pharmaceutical companies race to make enough vaccine as it is circulating around the globe." "The real challenge is to find something that would be molecular targets displayed on the surface of the virus that the immune system could attack, but that were stable throughout the process of gene reassortment and mutation and thus wouldn't be subject to change," Rich says. "There are a number of different candidates being evaluated, but none are yet available." In the text, Clinical Immunology systematically surveys the major organ systems that have immunological disease and the major diseases that have immune basis and tries to draw common threads. "For example, as we understand diabetes better, how does that impact understanding of multiple sclerosis? That's the strength of the text –- our effort to address diverse diseases from their scientific commonalities," Rich says. The immune system is a strong target for translational research, as it takes fundamental science and tries to apply it as broadly as possible to a variety of diseases, he adds.

COLUMBUS, Ohio – A former lab assistant has been sentenced to 15 months in prison for stealing thousands of dollars' worth of human skulls and skeletons from Ohio University's medical college and selling them online.
A federal judge in Columbus also ordered Weston Moquin, 29, to pay back the $85,000 in profits that prosecutors say he made.
Moquin pleaded guilty in January to stealing materials used as teaching aids, such as loose human bones, skulls, skeletons, plastinated human remains and autopsy saws.
Prosecutors say he sold them on eBay to customers in California, Utah and Oregon.

ADELAIDE, Australia (AP) -- Former Tour de France champion Cadel Evans seized the overall lead in the Tour Down Under by winning Thursday's third stage with a daring break on a corkscrew climb and descent.
Evans broke away near the end of the 145-kilometer (90-mile) stage from Norwood to Campbelltown, winning by 14 seconds from a group of 11 riders which included Australian compatriot Simon Gerrans and Italy's Diego Ulissi who had started the day first and second on general classification.
With a 10 second time bonus for his stage win, Evans surged into the overall lead, 12 seconds ahead of Gerrans and 15 seconds ahead of Ulissi in third place.
The demanding third stage of the six-stage tour was always going to be decided at the precipitous corkscrew 10 kilometers (6.3 miles) from the finish line, with gradients reaching 15 degrees on the hairpin bends.
Evans, the 2011 Tour de France winner, attacked at the right moment, breaking away with Richie Porte and, showing his nerve and superior bike-handling skill on the descent, went clear of Porte and Gerrans to claim the stage victory and tour lead.
Australian Nathan Haas emerged to finish second on the stage and Ulissi third.
''I had an idea of what we might have an opportunity to do,'' Evans said. ''It's always might, if, maybe but in this sport when you take a chance, when you have an opportunity you have to run with it.
''Right through the last 300 metres, I wasn't sure that I had it and I still don't know what the time gap is. In the end the move for me was for GC (general classification) actually. Stage wins aside it's great, but GC's what we're really here for.''
Evans praised fellow riders in his US-based BMC team for playing a role in his stage win.
''We've been training well,'' he said. ''We have a really solid group here.''
The stage featured an early four-man breakaway by Australian Travis Meyer, German veteran Jens Voigt, Ukrainian Andriy Grivko and France's Jerome Cousine. Grivko, who started the stage 21 seconds down on race-leader Gerrans, was the only member of the group in serious contention on general classification.
Cousine was the first to drop back to the bunch after 92 kilometers and the remaining three riders were swallowed up by the peleton with 16 kilometers (10 miles) to go.

Reward Milestone Achieved!
View ALPO_SKINNY's Sparkpage
View All Blog Entries from ALPO_SKINNY
Saturday, May 05, 2012
So at the beginning of this journey to a healthier me, I set out a reward plan: Weight based Milestones and Weekly Goal Rewards. The Weight based Milestone rewards are based on weight loss. At every 5 on the scale (180, 175, 170, 165, etc) I wrote down what my non-food reward would be. The first was a trip to a local day spa for a facial and make - up lesson. One month later, I've reached the next milestone!!!!
This reward was to buy some of the make-up that the make-up artist recommended. Last night, I got into my car and headed down to the local ULTA where I found about 70% of the stuff she recommended. I experimented this morning and WOW. Just a few small things and my eyes now *PoP* It's amazing. I was never a girly-girl. But this is great. And it's perfect too as just a few small things build self-confidence and that makes me even more excited about living a healthier life.
So for those of you that haven't thought about your reward milestones, or committed to writing them down, I encourage you to give it some thought. Think about things that compliment your journey. I have weight based milestones and weekly rewards if I meet all of my goals.
Some suggestions for weekly rewards - Put $5 in a jar every week you meet your goals. Buy a new book or magazine about healthy living. Or a new cookbook. Try out a new recipe. Something simple easy and fun.
My weekly goals are pretty simples 1) Drink 8 glasses of water a day; 2) 1,000 calorie deficit a day; 3) Exercise for 30 minutes 6 times a week. It's the last one that does me in most weeks. But heh. I'm working on it.
As for weight based milestones - these things are a little more. New make-up, new skirt or dress. New lingerie. New bikini. A new piece of jewelry. Things that showcase this healthier me. And they are all related to rewarding my journey with something that makes me feel more *WOW*

Report: Virgin America best US airline in 2012
In this Thursday, Sept. 27, 2012 photo, passengers travel through an airport in Miami. Private researchers, who have analyzed federal data on airline performance, say in a report being released Monday, April 8, 2013, that consumer complaints to the Department of Transportation surged by one-fifth last year even though other measures such as on-time arrivals and mishandled baggage show airlines are doing a better job. "The way airlines have taken 130-seat airplanes and expanded them to 150 seats to squeeze out more revenue I think is finally catching up with them," says Dean Headley, a business professor at Wichita State University, who has co-written the annual report for 23 years.

York's MSW graduate program takes an approach to research and teaching that places diversity of experience (due to race, class, ability, sexual orientation, age, gender, and religious/spiritual affiliation) as central to understanding how oppression, marginalization and assistance are constructed for persons in need of social work services.
York University's PhD in Social Work builds on the strengths and traditions of our undergraduate and graduate programs, while focusing on the conceptualization of the field of social work, its antecedents, theory and epistemology. Our program is distinguished by its critical approach to the field and its emphasis on human rights, social justice and anti-oppression.

These restaurant worker shoes enhance your comfort and safety on the job. Choose from a variety of styles that offer flexibility, provide great arch support, and promote good foot health. Select shoes from reputable brands that are known for manufacturing footwear that's superior in quality.
Multiple Styles and Colors
Choose black restaurant worker shoes that match virtually any uniform, or select comfortable styles that come in brown or orange to add a bit of color to your work outfit. There are a wide variety of styles available, including sneakers, loafers, wedges, slip-ons, and even boots. You'll also find lightweight styles that are suitable for wear during warmer weather.
Promotes Foot Health
Designs with durable leather uppers cushion your toes while protecting and supporting the top of your feet. Shoes with cushioned midsoles ensure that each step you take is just as comfortable as the next, which can help minimize foot fatigue. Restaurant worker shoes also provide enhanced arch support, which helps prevent changes in arch shape and minimizes your chances of developing foot pain and other problems. You'll also find shock-absorbent designs that help to relieve stress that can develop on the soles of your feet.
Slip-Resistant Designs
You can feel safe wearing these shoes when mopping your establishment or when working in kitchens that have wet floors. These shoes have durable, slip-resistant tread that dramatically minimizes your chance of sliding or falling on wet surfaces. When your work shoes get wet and dirty, simply rinse them with cool water, and sit them outdoors or place them on a shoe rack to let them dry.

Sorry for a silly question,
I am trying to prove the fact of intersection of two segments on the plane.
For example, $(d_1,d_2)$ is the first segment, where $d_1$ and $d_2$ are endpoint of the segment, and $(d_3,d_4)$ is the second segment.
One of the ways to show the existence of intersection is to show that $d_1$ and $d_2$ are placed on the different sides of the line $l(d_3,d_4)$ and $d_3$, $d_4$ on the different sides of $l(d_1,d_2)$.
It's very intuitive statement and obviously this should be true, but how to prove this.
How to prove that if endpoints of the one segment are located on the different sides of the another segment and vice versa show there is a intersection of segments.

The Way to a Man's Heart: Gender Roles, Domestic Ideology, and Cookbooks in the 1950s
Neuhaus, Jessamyn, Journal of Social History
The way to a man's heart So we've always been told, Is a good working knowledge Of pot, pan, and mold.
The talented gal Who can whip up a pie, Rates a well deserved rave From her favorite guy.
A juicy red steak, Or a tender, fish fillet Done to a turn In a bright copper skillet
Will soothe the rough edges Of tempers, no fooling!!! And leave the man happy Contented and drooling.
- To The Bride (1956)
In the mid-1950s, the editors of To The Bride created a cookbook to advise a newlywed woman in the culinary arts and, as we can see in the above poem, to reassure the young wife that skills in the kitchen would ensure a happy married life.(1) Armed with a good pie recipe and a "juicy red steak," they counseled, a woman was ready to become a wife. In some ways, this selection from To the Bride seems to bear out the assumption that post-WWII cookbooks were part of a larger discourse that sought to limit women's roles to those of wife, mother, and homemaker. The domestic ideology of the 1950s seems vividly illustrated in the inane rhymes of these lines, which introduced a chapter coyly entitled "The Care and Feeding of Young Husbands." But can we, as historians and cultural critics, dismiss cookbooks as simply another way the "feminine mystique" was glorified in the postwar era? What, upon closer inspection, might cookbooks reveal about their role in 1950s society and the place of domestic ideology itself in postwar America?
Too often historians have echoed Betty Friedan's most famous work(2) and have characterized the postwar era as uniformly repressive, oppressive, and miserable for women. However, in the past decade, some historians have complicated this analysis. It was in many ways a repressive time, these critics argue, but there were women who were able to enact resistance strategies in the face of powerful gender ideology. Some scholars have focused on uncovering the civic life and activism of white middle-class women working in political or religious organizations and community groups.(3) Some authors point out that the political and social experiences of women of color and lesbians during the 1950s were, of course, quite different from those of white women, and require further and better historical research.(4) Others argue that a careful reading of excavated cultural artifacts supports the notion that gender and domestic ideology were not as omnipresent as Friedan suggested. Popular culture, they assert, revealed anxieties and uncertainties about domestic ideology and gender roles - uncertainties often overlooked by historians. They argue that films, television programs, and rock and roll from the 1950s presented contradictory messages about a woman's proper role in society.(5)
In the following essay, I follow the lead of these last scholars and examine another cultural artifact from the 1950s: cookbooks. I argue that a careful reading of cookbooks from the postwar years demonstrates how, at this site at least, gender ideology in the 1950s was not simply an overwhelming and omnipresent discourse demanding conformity to the domestic ideal. I examine cookbooks first published or revised any time from 1945 to 1963.(6) I cite both widely published cookbooks and lesser-known works, with the assumption that both obscure texts and best-sellers reflected the nature of domestic ideology in the 1950s. I do not claim to have drawn from an exhaustive sample: experts in the field of cookbook history note that it is probably impossible to know exactly how many cookbooks are in circulation at any one time.(7) My research sample consisted of about one hundred texts, housed mainly in the Los Angeles Public Library and the Hunnold Library in Claremont, California, and was comprised mostly of cookbooks published by corporations for promotional purposes (including Betty Crocker's Picture Cook Book). I limited the books authored by individuals to those documented as popular in terms of sales or those which exemplified a certain genre of cookery text, such as books aimed at new brides or barbecue cookbooks. …

If you need a partner for the evening, please contact Linda Motley regarding Monday nights on 0121 476 4099, and Sarah Smith regarding Thursday nights on 0121 472 2467 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Alternately you could add your name to the 'Partner Wanted' poster on the Club Notice Board.
Please note that the Concert Room is required for a large funeral reception so we will play in the Middle Lounge. As there may be space constraints, it will be a 'sign up' event, limited to 13 tables. First come, first served!!
We are now using Electronic Scoring (BridgeTabs) at the club. Please arrive no later than 7pm so that we can arrange a movement, and have your EBU number to hand as that will speed up the process.
Click here for more information
To see information about joining NBC and/or WCWMC please click here.
Formed in 1992, NBC is now a well-established, friendly, EBU-affiliated club which plays at Weoley Castle WMC where we use the club's concert room and its ample off-road parking facilities.
There is a one-off joining fee of £10 with an annual membership of £8. Table money, which includes a refreshments charge, is just £2.50 for members and non-members alike, but non-members may expect to be asked to pay a £1 entrance fee to WMC. Members are also obliged to join the WMC but the charge for this is met from NBC resources
We meet each Monday and Thursday evening at 7.00 pm to be ready for a 7.15 pm start. Generally, the bridge is less competitive at our Monday sessions but on both days we are currently seeing between ten and fourteen tables in play.
We both welcome and encourage players who want to try playing at a bridge club for the first time and our membership ranges all the way from novices to a Grand Master.
We run a host system on most Thurday nights so that we are able to offer to un-partnered visitors someone with whom they may play.
Monday sessions commence at 7.15 p.m.
Table money is £2.50, and this includes a refreshments charge.
You are welcome to come along but please be aware that currently there is no host system on Mondays so if you do intend to turn up it is better to come with a partner or to telephone Linda Motley on 0121 476 4099 as she may be able to help.
Pictured above, and captured for posterity are some members of NBC and LPC, and visitors, playing in our annual 'No Fears' event held in the Concert Room of Weoley Castle WMC on 30 October 2014.

"Our holiday in the province Chania" Top 5 Page for this destination Prefecture of Chania by ardnas67
Prefecture of Chania Travel Guide: 478 reviews and 1,404 photos
From 30 June until 14 July me and my family stayed in the Island of Crete. We rented an appartment in Kissamos, and had a rented car for those two weeks.
I had a little bit problems with the heat (around 30 degrees Celcius) My skin reacted allergic to the burning sun, and somethimes I was frustrated that it was to hot to be active. Normally we walk a lot in our vacation, and see a lot of the area, but now all I want was sit in the shadow and read a book. Summertime is not a good time for me in Crete, next time I'll go in May or October.
In spite of this we did seen a lot, made some beautiful trips, we swim in the sea, beautiful beaches, mountains. Very Nice!!
- Pros:very nice people, beautiful landscape
- Cons:the mess along the road, to hot for me in the summer

Your daughter is getting confirmed. Or your
nephew is getting married. You want to buy a Bible as a gift, or maybe
you need one yourself, so you head off to the local store for what you
expect will be a simple purchase.
But if you haven't been shopping for a Bible recently, prepare to be overwhelmed. Your choices have expanded exponentially in recent years—there are at least 18 English-language translations available now.
Not only are there lots of new translations, but in the last seven years publishers have tailored their Bibles to meet the needs of various groups. In your bookstore you'll find Bibles focused on particular genders, age groups, interests and life stages.
But don't let the large section make you feel like you need to go to seminary in order to pick the right Bible.
"Folks who have been tutored by the Enlightenment, and have been trained to worship the scholars among us, have had the Bible taken out of their hands," says Mary W. Anderson, pastor of Incarnation Lutheran Church, Columbia, S.C.
"We now believe it takes a Ph.D. to understand what the Bible really means, and we don't think we can read it without an expert guide."
The large selection of Bibles available can help further that impression, but selecting the right one may be easier than it looks. All you need to know are the answers to three simple questions.
The rest of this article is only available to subscribers.
