Halloween Hangover
Dear Prudence advises a dad whose buddies hit the bottle too hard on the trick-or-treat trail—in a live chat at Washingtonpost.com.
Q. Morning Sickness: Being in the early stages of my pregnancy, I have the joys of morning sickness. I've become hypersensitive to the smell of deodorant or mild sweating or most types of food. Being at work it's difficult to avoid this and I usually have to take a large step back and breathe through my mouth when I smell something that makes me sick. I try to keep a straight face, but I know I physically look unwell. Last week I couldn't bear the smell of my manager, who'd just eaten curry for lunch. I felt incredibly nauseous and inched as far away from him as possible, trying to subtly cover my nose. He didn't say anything directly to me but was understandably offended. I feel bad for this, but the reaction comes out involuntarily. Is there something I can say to avoid hurting people's feelings when I can't stand their smell?
A: I wish science would investigate the phenomenon of pregnant women having beagle-like sniffing abilities. When I was pregnant my husband used to come home from work and be amazed when I would say, "Please don't use that Italian dressing anymore at lunch, the oregano is making me sick." However, turning green, holding your nose, and staggering away from your colleagues is bound to create some bad feelings. This problem should pass in a few weeks, but for now maybe it would help if you had in your hand at all times a cup of peppermint tea. That would block some of the more obnoxious odors. If things are bad enough, you also might consider telling your manager that you'd like to keep this private for now, but you're pregnant so you hope he understands if you feel a little under the weather for the next few weeks.
Q. Vacation After Divorce: I was married for 18 years to the father of my children until 10 months ago, and we are taking them to Costa Rica next month (not as odd as it sounds, we are good friends). My dilemma is that he informed me today that he might be looking for female companionship at night during our stay here. Our sons are 14 and 16 and will obviously know what's going on when he departs our mountain home to drive to the city. I am at a loss whether to laugh it off (he is 53, a handsome firefighter, and somehow thinks a free meal will buy him undying love) or to let him find out the hard way that prostitution is legal in Costa Rica, and let his ego get buried in the process. Advice?
A: Any traveling companions, even former spouses, need some ground rules for getting along. Since you're vacationing with your kids, it's incumbent upon him to behave as a father, not a Mr. August on the Hottest Firefighters calendar. That said, I don't think it's necessarily clear that if Dad says he's going into town to look around for an evening that means he's hiring a lady of the night. However, before you go, tell him that what he does in his free time is his decision, but you're concerned if he goes off every night, that will make the boys uncomfortable. Then, if he sets off, just shrug and say, "Adios."
Q. Cheating in Exams: I do part time tutoring to earn some cash. The students I tutor are generally only a couple of years younger than me. I've formed friendships with some of them and maintain contact even after I've stopped tutoring them. One girl I get along well with has confided in me that she cheated in her exams. She ended up winning a major prize at her school and is using the exam results to apply for college. The thing is, she's naturally a gifted girl. Her academic record is largely excellent, but this time around she had some family problems and decided to take the easy route rather than risking failure. She feels bad about it and has assured me she won't be cheating again as it's not worth the guilt. But I'm wondering if I should tell the school. I don't want to ruin her entire academic history, but I feel guilty knowing she cheated. What should I do in this situation?
A: If you were still tutoring her, I would say you should report her to her parents and end your professional relationship. It's good you made clear how objectionable you found her behavior, and that it's abhorrent that she got a leg up in this way. However, I'm inclined to not take it further than that in this case. Your blowing the whistle would, as you know, be very damaging to this girl. You don't mention what the family problems are, but sometimes teenagers under a lot of pressure act out in self-destructive ways. That said, I know readers will make a compelling case that someone was robbed of an academic prize because of her behavior, and I won't disagree. I'm just feeling you don't have to come forward in this case. Readers?
Q. Should She Pay Me Back?: A couple of weeks ago, I gave some money to a Facebook appeal for a friend who was in a car accident and needed money to pay for her repairs. It turns out a lot of information was left out: mainly, that insurance covered the costs but she spent the repair check from the insurance company on a brand new iPhone and other stuff instead of the repairs. I gave the money thinking it was going to the repairs, because that it how it was pitched, and didn't know about her spendthrift ways. I didn't give more than I could afford to lose, but should she a) pay me back since it was under false pretenses, or b) should I ask for it back?
A: I hope you don't also wire money to strangers who send you emails that begin, "My darling dear one, I have had some financial troubles lately." This experience with your friend has actually been invaluable. Now you know to be wary of mass appeals for money, even from people you know. You're friends with someone who expects her friends to underwrite the financial knocks that life brings, and then goes and puts the proceeds toward goods she's really been eyeing. Write off the money, and perhaps the friendship, too.
Q. Stingy Trick-or-Treater: We get a lot of trick-or-treaters at our house that I know are not local to our area. I see parents drop them off in cars to trick-or-treat in our neighborhood. Since I know all the kids in our neighborhood, I know which ones are local and which ones are not. I don't mind buying candy for our neighbors, but kids from miles away, that I'll never see again? It makes me a bit sour. What makes me even more sour is that if I give all these kids treats, I have to buy (literally) four times the amount of candy that I would give the local kids. In the past, I have bought the amount of candy that I thought was reasonable and when it ran out, it ran out, and if any of the neighbors' kids missed out, oh well. But it made me feel bad. Tonight, I'm thinking of just giving the kids I know candy and turning the other kids away. Thoughts?
A: I think you must really want to have your house covered with toilet paper and eggs tomorrow. I'm also impressed with your ability to know exactly who's behind the Transformer mask. Since I've moved to a neighborhood with very dark streets I've been sad at how few kids ring the bell. My old neighborhood used to attract kids from all over the city and I loved it. Have enough candy to drop a Tootsie roll into everyone's bag, and stop being a grouch.
Q. Cheating Kid: I'm a parent of high school kids who I don't believe cheat and who have taken some unfair lumps academically. Even so, I say if the kid confided in you, don't tell the school. Kids make mistakes (in cars, sex, drugs, and school) and it sounds like she realizes it. Anyone who would have been in second place for such a prize is undoubtedly getting into a perfectly fine school themselves. It's too bad there's so much stress around high school accomplishments when we all forget them very quickly once adults. The consequences to reporting this girl would be devastating.
A: I'm with you. She knows she was wrong and the fact that she confided means she is wrestling with her mistake. Reporting her would result in a punishment that would be devastating and I think not more helpful than the guilt she's feeling.

With this in mind, we announced the share repurchase program of $900 million in association with the sale of the Medicine Hat facility that was announced last night. The sale of the equity position in the Medicine Hat nitrogen facility represented a compelling return for this asset. In essence, Agrium will obtain the retail business from Viterra for about $175 million plus working capital of approximately $400 million.While our earnings are a testament to the strong demand for crop inputs that existed throughout the first half of the year, the outlook for our business for the remainder of 2012 and into 2013 is also very promising. Record grain and oilseed prices will provide growers around the world with the economic incentive to expand acreage and to optimize their use of Agrium's complete line of Agrium products and services.

Jos Buttler's highest T20 score for England could not prevent West Indies taking the series as they won their second match in succession at the Kensington Oval.
Chasing 153, after Buttler's 67 saved England's blushes after another poor start, Darren Sammy, the West Indies captain, saw his team home with a flourish, striking Tim Bresnan for two sixes and a four to seal the win by five wickets with seven balls to spare.
Although England pushed West Indies harder in this game, their total was inadequate on a ground whose modest boundaries can see run-rates escalate.
In that regard, Buttler's batting was a lone bright spot in a line-up where there still appear to be too many misfiring parts to mount a serious challenge on the World T20, which starts in Bangladesh next week.
Buttler made 67 off 43 balls with five fours and three sixes, a score which enabled England to reach 152 for seven.
A 45-minute rain break, which came just as he was cutting loose, cost crucial momentum.
When West Indies replied, the whirling bats of Chris Gayle and Dwayne Smith, which added 48 in 27 balls, made England's score look inadequate.
Gayle, who wields his bat like a cricketing Darth Vader, struck some brutal strokes.
One six, off James Tredwell, that went out of the ground towards Bridgetown, had the locals cooing that it was the biggest at the ground, exceeding a strike from Joel Garner 29 years ago which hit a petrol station.
But just as Gayle was about to make a mockery of England's total Ravi Bopara, rapidly becoming a more valuable T20 bowler than batsman, bowled him off the inside edge for 36, a strike that enable him to check West Indies' progress with a spell of four overs for 10 runs.
Then, with 37 runs needed off 24 balls, Bresnan struck with two wickets in two balls, as Marlon Samuels and Andre Russell hit and hoped towards long-on and perished, caught by Alex Hales.
That left Sammy and Dwayne Bravo to make 31 off the last three overs, though when Sammy swung a Jade Dernbach full toss away for six and it came down to 18 off 12 balls.
Another six by Sammy, over long-off off Bresnan, persuaded the home crowd who was the winner. Another, 30 yards to the left essentially sealed the result, which Sammy put to bed by scything Bresnan's next ball for four.
Eoin Morgan, England's captain in place of the injured Stuart Broad, tried to put a positive spin on the defeat but admitted that poor batting in the first six overs had again cost England dear.
"We lost it with the bat," he said. "Being 30 for three after six overs puts you on the back foot. To get to 150 from there was a great effort and Jos Buttler continues to flourish.
"It leaves us with a lot more positives than the other day. We fought really well and bowled and batted well in the middle overs.
"Moving into the last game with the potential of turning over the world champions will give us great confidence going into the World T20."
Although West Indies have England covered in the power game, Buttler's mix of muscle and invention is also made for this format.
But you still need the skill to match shot to ball, something he did well but not many of his colleagues.
Buttler's one notable failure came when he was out caught at backward point off Krishmal Santokie, who finished with four for 21.
Santokie came in for Sunil Narine, who was resting a sore knee, though the two are different bowlers.
With West Indies bowling first, Santokie tailored his bowling, low, slinging left-arm fast medium with slower-ball cutters mixed in, to the surface.
Quite why England did not do the same before Bopara took the hint is puzzling, but like the batsmen, the bowlers appear reluctant to improvise beyond their comfort zone.
Nonplussed by Samuel Badree in the first game, Michael Lumb and Hales had few answers to Santokie's mixture other than to play high-risk shots, one of which cost Lumb his wicket when he was lbw walking across his stumps flicking to leg.
Hales had little more idea and should have also been on his way lbw after being beaten by Badree on the back foot.
Moeen Ali, making his T20 debut alongside Stephen Parry as England replaced Broad (injured knee) and Ben Stokes (dropped), was beaten by a clever slower ball that dipped and gripped.
Later Lumb was struck on the knee by a full-blooded drive from Smith, a blow that required treatment and added his name to the growing list of players soon to travel to Bangladesh carrying injury.

Mulberry Cashew Granola Bars are a quick superfood-packed snack. These bars come together in minutes, are no-bake, and are a guilt-free alternative to those packaged grocery store bars.
Like I mentioned on Monday, I've been on quite the cleaning spree. With this cleaning also came a surge of meal prep and ideas for meals to stock our already-overflowing freezer with when I actually get time to do so. Note to self: buy a second freezer.
Anyways. I promised granola bars!
But these aren't just any granola bars!
These are my Mulberry Cashew Granola Bars. I'd be all obnoxious and call them "Superfood Granola Bars" but I'm pretty sure you'd be all "stop that this instant and tell me what they actually are"…yeah.
Anyways. These are super simple to make and come together quite quickly. They're packed with dried mulberries, chia seeds, flax seeds, creamy cashew butter and more! I love that their taste is super fresh and subtle, thanks to the hint of cardamom.
If you don't have dried mulberries, you can easily grab some off Amazon, but I also saw them in Target! Target always has everything (ie my money).
If you'd rather, you can always swap the cashew butter for almond butter, but I had an abundance of cashew butter on hand from said food prep mania. It's my jam. But, butter. You know.
The recipe follows the same rhythm and procedure as Angela's Glow Bars, but I've truly made them my own by throwing everything under the sun I love into them.
These Mulberry Cashew Granola Bars are a perfect snack, so keep them in the fridge, and in the morning throw one in your bag to snack on later. Also, I'm betting your kids will love them, so here's a healthier alternative to that boxed granola bar.
- 1 ½ cups old fashioned oats
- 1 cup crisp rice cereal
- ½ cup unsweetened desiccated coconut, toasted
- 1 Tbs. pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
- 2 Tbs. hemp seeds
- 1 Tbs. flaxseeds
- 1 Tbs. chia seeds
- ¼ cup dried mulberries
- ¼ tsp. cardamom
- 1 tsp. vanilla bean paste
- ½ cup brown rice syrup
- ¼ cup cashew butter
- In a large bowl, combine all of the dry ingredients. Pour in the vanilla, brown rice syrup and cashew butter. Use a wooden spoon to stir it all together (it will be a very thick, sticky mixture).
- Line a 9x9" pan with parchment and spray with nonstick spray. Pour the granola bar mixture into the pan. Wet your fingers and press it all into an even layer in the pan. Press it in until it is VERY compact.
- Place the pan in the freezer for 30 minutes (or a few hours). Use the overhanging parchment to pull up the granola bars from the pan and use a sharp knife to cut (into 8-12 bars).
- Individually wrap the bars in plastic wrap. Store them in the fridge.
- Bars will keep in the fridge for 1-2 weeks (I honestly haven't met their "expiration" date). Bars can be kept in the freezer indefinitely.

A Crack in China's Dam Plans
McCully, Patrick, Multinational Monitor
After nearly two years of review, the U.S. Export-Import Bank denied support to U.S. corporations chasing contracts for China's Three Gorges Dam at the end of May. Caterpillar and Rotec Industries of Illinois and Voith Hydro of Pennsylvania had hoped for letters of intent for loan guarantees from the Ex-Im Bank which would enable them to submit formal bids to sell China construction equipment for the dam.
Ex-Im Bank President Martin Karmarck said in a May 30 statement that the Bank's board "has concluded that Ex-Im Bank cannot issue a letter of interest for this project at this time. The information received [from China], though voluminous, falls to establish the project's consistency with the Bank's environmental guidelines."
If completed, the Three Gorges Dam would stretch nearly a mile across and tower 575 feet above the bed of the Yangtze. Its reservoir would stretch over 350 miles upstream and force the displacement of 1.3 million people. It would be the most powerful hydroelectric dam in the world. Construction began in 1994 and is scheduled to take 20 years [See "Planning for Disaster: China's Three Gorges Dam, Multinational Monitor, September 1993].
In March 1991, opposition to the project in China forced the suspension of the dam, but Premier Li Peng swiftly resurrected the project in the aftermath of the Tiananmen Square massacre.
Environmental organizations warmly applauded the Ex-Im Bank announcement.
"This is phenomenal," says International Rivers Network Executive Director Owen Lammers. "It represents a serious blow against what would have become the world's most socially and environmentally ruinous dam."
According to Kamarck, "the major (though not only) issues of concern" for Ex-Im were reservoir quality, the endangered species and other "ecological resources" threatened by the project, the "environmental and socioeconomic impacts associated with the proposed resettlement of 1.3 million people" and the "protection of cultural resources."
The Chinese government has had numerous problems finding foreign financing for the dam, estimated to cost up to $75 billion. The World Bank, the leading international funder of large dams, has for some time stated that it will not help fund the project. An international bond offering first scheduled for release in April 1994 has been delayed indefinitely due to concerns within the investment community over the financial risks inherent in the dam. …

By now, I've tried about 10 different deodorant from iherb website. This one is my choice #1, ordered it 3 times. I like the nice scent (although it's so much subjective how different people react to smells), and it works well during the day.

Under Arm Protection Without the Burn
Posted by Reviewer1487130 on Jan 11, 2008
For something all natural. It smells good and it works. Unfortunately you do not carry the version that has tea tree oil
Works great most of the time but not so amazing in summer.
Posted by Reviewer1410431 on Aug 09, 2008
I switch back and forth between this deodorant and Aubrey's deodorant. I really like the scent of this one and it does seem to work better for me than other natural deodorant's that I've tried in the past. I live in Southern California though so it always gets tricky when using natural deodorants in the summer. I usually carry an extra one around in my bag and find that re-applying in the middle of the day does help considerably. Having said that, I still have yet to find one that works effectively this time of year.
Not for me
Posted by Reviewer2923231 on Jul 02, 2012
This one was not suitable for me - I used it after the shower and my underarms started smell bad after some hours. I tried several times, but always the same - bad smell :(

DirecTV (
) will report its Q4 2012 and full year results on February 14 and
besides strong subscriber additions in the U.S., Latin American
growth will be in focus. The company's revenues in the U.S. will be
aided by subscriber growth and higher ARPU (average revenue per
user) due to a price increase. As far as Latin America is
concerned, subscriber growth is the primary growth driver as the
pay-TV market in this region remains underpenetrated. As far as
levying extra sports fee is concerned, the effect won't be visible
as it was introduced towards the year-end and the fee applies to
only new customers (for details see
The Impact Of DirecTV's Extra Sports Fee
). In addition to this, we'll keep an eye out for the trend in
programming costs which are resulting in margin pressure across the
pay-TV industry.
See our complete analysis for DirecTV
Pay-TV Business In The U.S. - What To Expect?
DirecTV already disclosed that it added 100,000 net subscribers
in the U.S. in the fourth quarter of 2012. This brings the
company's total net adds for 2012 to 196,000, which we expect to be
significantly higher than the expected net adds for its competitor
Dish Network (
). Compared to the cable companies who are losing subscribers,
DirecTV's performance is stellar. Furthermore, the performance is
commendable given that the U.S. pay-TV market is highly saturated.
However, if we compare DirecTV's subscriber performance in 2012
against 2011, we note that there was a substantial decline.
However, the company has an opportunity to continue its gains as
the telcos have slowed down their pace of expansion. As far as
revenue growth is concerned, subscribers are not the only way to
go. DirecTV continues to expand the penetration of advanced
services such as DVR, HD and on-demand video. In addition, the
company periodically raises prices. We note that DirecTV resorted
to 4% price increases in 2011 and 2012 and starting from February
2013, the prices will go up again by 4.5%. The impact of the price
increase will be visible in this quarter's revenue growth.
DirecTV's Programming & Distribution Advantage Is
Helping It Over Dish
There is a reason why DirecTV is expected to perform better than
Dish and has been doing so for the past few years. DirecTV has a
greater number of HD channels with more emphasis on sports compared
to Dish Network. HD and sports channels cost more and attract
subscribers who have a better spending capacity. This, in turn,
lowers the churn as DirecTV can market additional services such as
whole-home-DVR to these customers, and they tend to be stickier.
Until last year, DirecTV spent about
$1 billion a year
on NFL programming, making its flagship NFL Sunday Ticket
out-of-market sports programming package available to its
subscribers. This has been a unique selling point for the company.
Out-of-market sports programming enables viewers to watch games of
teams that are not local to their area of residence. In addition to
programming advantage, DirecTV also has a distribution advantage.
Dish Network lost its key distribution partners such AT&T (
) and CenturyLink to DirecTV in the past.
Latin America - Subscriber Growth Will Continue But Watch
Out For Churn
DirecTV added close to 1.08 million gross subscribers and
543,000 net subscribers in Latin America (excluding Sky Mexico) in
Q3 2012. While gross subscriber additions were up 13%, net
subscriber additions were slightly down due to a higher monthly
churn. This higher churn resulted from increased penetration of
middle market products, especially in Brazil.
We expect the growth to continue this quarter but some of it
might be hampered by increased churn. The middle market customers
in Latin America are value conscious and are likely to be less
sticky than those opting for higher priced packages. This means
that cost savings, in tandem with high quality service, is likely
to be the primary growth driver for pay-TV services in this region.
Such cost savings can be achieved through bundled offerings where
DirecTV is lagging currently. The company has been
contemplating acquisitions and expanding its satellite broadband
service, which would help strengthen its competitive position. It
has already started its broadband service but having a cable
partner will help in providing viable bundles to its customers.
Our price estimate for DirecTV stands at $59, implying a premium
of about 15% to the market price.

if I have to spend $1,000 to save on gas, I'll drive.
So I figure i'll get something cheap and it seems the only options are old garage sale / craigslist beaters, and poorly built, cheap-part walmart bikes.
the walmart bikes are cheaper than anything i can find on craigslist, and I'm assuming they use all the latest technology (if the crappiest of that latest technology), so are more easily upgraded? i know, having previously owned an old beater, there there's an issue with upgrading parts on obsolete bikes.
In my own opinion, a walmart peice would be much better than an old beater, since it's (1) cheaper and (2) more easily upgraded. But I read some dude's post on another thread saying just the opposite, so i thought I'd as you guys.

Hillary Factor
The McCain campaign is actively reaching out to Hillary supporters, and some Hillary supporters are actively helping him:
What's a bit surprising to me is the continued divide among her supporters that has continued on even now on the eve of the Democratic National Convention. Back in March I pointed out that a "survey by the Pew Research Center found that one in four Clinton voters said they would back Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., over Obama" while pondering the ramifications of how negative the primary had become over an extended period of time on the Democratic side. With many referring to it as a 'civil war.'
Hillary for her part has pointed out that she disagrees with the ads and she has once again asked her former supporters to unite behind Obama. Something necessitated by the fact that recent polls, even after the Biden VP pick, show that Hillary supporters are still likely to back McCain by the same margins as they polled months ago. From CNN's account of its recent polling:
One key poll finding was that support for Obama is slipping among supporters of Hillary Clinton, with who Obama fought a close, sometimes bitter, campaign until conceding to her rival in early June.
According to the CNN/Opinion Research Corp poll, 66 percent of Clinton supporters -- registered Democrats who want Clinton as the nominee -- are now backing Obama. But the number is down from the 75 percent who in June said they backed Obama.
Furthermore, 27 percent of Clinton supporters now say they'll back Republican McCain -- up from 16 percent in late June.
And though Hillary is giving unity speeches to pull them back in, the Obama campaign doesn't seem to be actively trying to court them, and have almost seemed to be snubbing them, with 3AM text messages and denying any intention of considering Hillary for the VP spot.
Further, Obama's own supporters may be hurting him as many seem to hold resentment against both Hillary and her supporters, especially those who might even consider voting for McCain. The term PUMA (short for Party Unity My Ass, but also used derisively by Obama supporters in the sense of a wild cat or the derogatory 'cougar' insult often thrown at women) has become a common one among Obama supporters ranting and raving against those who are considering defection.
The net chatter lately by Obama supporters has been along the lines of 'we don't want them and we don't need them anyways.' With accusations that they're just a bunch of racists or otherwise mentally deficient. And while the West Virginia interviews of some Hillary voters may confirm this in their perspective, they seem to deny that it's possible that many of her supporters considered her more qualified and experienced, something they felt and still argue makes Obama out of his 'pay grade.'
And while they may have no problem pushing them away, McCain seems to have no problem embracing them, even if he wasn't their first or ideal pick by a long shot. A lot of conservatives can probably relate given their opposition to McCain in the primaries. As an independent I'll gladly welcome the Hillary supporters who feel they're making a better choice for their country, even if it conflicts with what their party wants. We can be baffled together on why Obama's camp would want to push them away if they really want to win in November.
A post on IP.com today linked to this article at the Chicago Sun Times:
DENVER -- A black Hillary Clinton delegate on Sunday accused state Senate President Emil Jones of calling her an "Uncle Tom."
Jones -- Barack Obama's political mentor -- denied using the racially loaded slur against Chicago political consultant Delmarie Cobb, but two aldermen who said they witnessed the Saturday night exchange back up Cobb's account.
Cobb has been a high-profile Clinton supporter, and she said she is still paying the price in the African-American community.
"If people are still making digs at the Hillary Clinton people because we supported her, that is not going to bring us on board. It makes us feel as though we're outsiders, and we're Democrats," Cobb said. "The litmus test for being black is [seen as] supporting Barack."
This kind of crap doesn't help either.

Carver, Martin, Antiquity
Is fieldwork a graduate profession? In some traditions, work on site is carried out by a technician grade that does the shovelling, trowelling and recording, while academics (the officer class), visit with instructions and interpretations. Here is Noel Myres' recollection of Mortimer Wheeler (fearsome champion of the hands-on director) at Brecon Gaer in 1924: "Rik himself treated the excavation as the agreeable background to a fishing holiday. He would begin the day by directing Christopher [Hawkes] and myself of what we were to find, and then disappear in the direction of the river. In the evening he would return, not always overburdened with the trophies of the chase, listen to what we told him of the day's work on the dig and explain to us what he thought it meant." (1) British excavators recoiled from this division in archaeology, as in other walks of life, after World War II and by the 1970s there was a new style comradeship of shared labour and shared speculations (revived 25 years later in the 'reflexive' school of digging with its video clips and multi-author effusions). When the profession arrived, it found it had to earn its living doing what it was told, like everybody else. This required a stern intellectual and financial discipline--you stated what you intended to do in a design document, did it, reported the outcome and got paid (you hope). As the funding base of the new profession moved from government to the private sector, it was naturally susceptible to the hierarchies of each--but on the whole has resisted them. There is a division of labour, but mutual dependence and still no enforced ranking. The downside is that there is not much of a career structure either. Directors 'emerge' from the workforce, theoretically because they are good managers of people, projects and clients, and can get the work done within budget and keep the firm afloat. In this scene we often encounter a fierce nostalgia for the non-graduate route into archaeology--and perhaps the untutored mind is indeed more open to discovery, readier for surprise, and just as good at management.
The problem, aired again at this years IfA conference at Oxford in April, is that the universities and the mitigation profession have drifted apart. One sector is paid to research and the other to manage the historic environment (aka the research resource) and they are regulated or (in Britain) micromanaged by different ministries. Both are subject to new constraints of operation, so while the commercial sector must conform to the ethos of payment for a product, the universities are being toughened up to perform as businesses too--the business of generating fame and profit for UK Plc. Some delegates at Oxford confronted the schism by saying both sides were dedicated to research and were having an equally rough time--basically we are all in the same boat. This is an optimistic interpretation; the academic and commercial sectors are in different boats sailing in different directions, neither of which is headed towards long-term productive research. In a few large commercial organisations (doing large projects), the proceeds are sufficient to allow a generous interpretation of 'mitigation'--resulting in capacious reports and a big research dividend. But in most firms the problem has not budged: they are not paid to do research so they don't do any. No-one is more frustrated by this than the archaeology graduate, a large proportion of whom now enter the commercial profession. They leave university inspired by ancient peoples and places, driven to find out more and devise better ways of doing it; but often find themselves at the mercy of a poor supervisor executing an unimaginative programme using mindless recording systems. In this muddy wasteland, new knowledge of the past and creative ways of bringing it to life are the last things on anybody's mind.
One remedy--perhaps the only one--is to change the 'product' from mitigation to research. …

Cost used to be the major (if not only) factor in making IT decisions, but it isn't any more, especially when it comes to service management. IT services deliver a lot more than economic savings. They create new possibilities, generate new business advantages, empower new services and strategies, connect organizations with new customers and markets, and much more.

Ivor explains it much more eloquently than I, but here are a few things I took away from his article:

The concept of "cost" as a way of assessing IT services should transform to "value," which is fundamental to ITIL at its core. Take these definitions straight from ITIL:

"A service is a means of delivering value to customers by facilitating outcomes customers want to achieve without the ownership of specific cost and risks."

"Service Management is a set of specialized organizational capabilities for providing value to customers in the form of services."

Instead of talking about TCO (Total Costs of Ownership), we should talk about CCO (Complete Consequences of Operation). As IT services become more and more pervasive, the consequences of problematic IT service management become more and more significant.

 There are other factors that should be considered as well,such as energy management/sustainability, public relations, human resource allocation and more.

In a nutshell, IT service management should address costs, value, consequences and benefits. Definitely food for thought. (Perhaps Curry in a Hurry?)

Now I would like to give word to Chairman Xi to present the interim results for 2014.
Guohua Xi
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to our 2013 interim results announcement briefing. Today's presentation is divided into 3 parts. I will present the overall performance for the first half of 2013, then Mr. Li will talk about the operating performance. Finally, Mr. Xue will walk you through the financial results.
Let me walk you through the company's overall performance for the first half of 2013. In the first half of 2013, the company overcame various difficulties and faired serious challenges. We actively transformed strategies and promoted innovation to continuously enhance our strategy implementation capabilities, leveraging our advantages and even quality service.
Our operating performance remained steady. Operating revenue, up 10.4%. Revenue from telecommunications service, up 6.8%. Net profit margin at 20.8%.
Total customers exceed 740 million. Total voice usage up 3.7%. Data business developed fast, with revenue up to 33.5% from telecommunication services. Wireless data traffic business has been a strong impetus. Revenue grew by 62.2%.
As 3G development accelerates, our customer base surpassed 137 million in the voice sales sold. TD-LTE development has been encouraging. The company is actively preparing for 4G commercialization, whilst trying to create value for our shareholders. Our interim dividend for 2013 is HKD 1.696 per share.
Here are the key operating data for the first half of 2013. Performance remains steady. In the first half of 2013, the slowing of the Chinese economy, coupled with rising penetration, have impacted the development of the information and communications industry. Competition have become more compassed [ph]. OTT headwinds have been increasingly notable. Fierce line grab among operators for existing business continued. All this have put the company in an unprecedentedly challenging situation.
Against the backdrop of strategic transformation, there emerged an increased requirement for resources. The company's medium- to long-term earnings will be under more pressure. However, we do see broad outlook in information service in China. The government introduced measures to increase spending of information service of late. The accelerating proliferation of smartphones has provoked rapid growth of data traffic and applications, which have become the key impetus to fill the company's revenue growth. Meanwhile, TD-LTE obtained a strong support from the supply chain, imminent commercialization awaits, bringing advantage and opportunities to the company's development.
To capture opportunities and to render challenges, the company jazzed up to pursue Four-Network Coordination, full service and mobile Internet, and effort to transform our strategies, change and [indiscernible]. We focus on enhancing network and in marketing capabilities, whereas, measures have achieved encouraging progress. The company is fully confident about its future.
In the first half of 2013, 3G development accelerated. Total customers exceed 137 million, with rising proportion using smartphones. The company actively drove construction and usage of the 3G network. Base stations reached 361,000. Network utilization increased to 25%. Competitiveness of device was enhanced [indiscernible], with more diverse models available. But opening up the social channel, devices sold was approximately 66 million TD handsets sold across all channels of the company in the first half of 2013, over 90% of which were smartphones. Moreover, our self-brand device have taken substantive steps for -- in R&D. Two TD smartphone models were developed in the first batch.
The company is actively preparing for TD-LTE commercialization. This year, we'll build over 200,000 base stations, with contiguous network coverage in the main districts of 100 major cities. Some other cities will re-unearth data hotspot coverage in the main district.
Regarding device, 28nm multi-mode, multi-frequency TD-LTE smartphones have been launched, indicating the event of device maturity. Planned procurement is over 1 million TD-LTE device this year. In addition, the company is actively promoting VoLTE as device solution, propelled by the development of the industry.
18 commercial networks have been launched worldwide. Scale commercialization of TD-LTE is underway across the globe.
Aiming for quality and differentiation, the company prioritized return to fair full-service competition. We adopted a long-term and scientific approach to planning. The company endeavors to excel in backbone transmission and the construction of metropolitan area networks. We actively drove the construction of public Internet, expedited IDC development, introduced hotspot resources and uplifted on-net traffic. The overall bearer costs were reduced. We developed broadband access targeting corporate customers to provide customized offerings and aimed for return.
In the first half of 2013 various infrastructure results capabilities were significantly enhanced. The company has been investing for long-term development and adopted a forward-looking approach to capital spending and focused on return. CapEx for the first half amounted to RMB 57 billion.

Veg South Florida
There's never been a better time to eat vegetarian or vegan in south Florida. The many restaurants listed here make it easy to find healthy, delicious and animal-free meals from Key West to Palm Beach and cities in between. With the choices we make at each meal, we can help stop cruelty to chickens, pigs, cows, fish and other animals raised for food.
News & Updates
• Recent additions (September 2015): Queen of Sheeba (West Palm Beach), Bookstore in the Grove Organic Kitchen (Coconut Grove), Veggie Fruit Revolution (Palm Beach Gardens)

Restaurant of the Month
Dozens of locations in South Florida
(web site)
We wouldn't normally choose a "fast food" restaurant as Restaurant of the Month, but the news that the world's largest restaurant chain is offering vegan sandwiches is significant. SUBWAY is testing vegan subs in a few markets, including South Florida. The "Black Bean" patty (a blend of black beans, brown rice, corn, bell peppers, cilantro and garlic) is topped with a vegan sweet potato curry sauce. The "Malibu Garden" patty (brown rice, rolled oats, and vegetables) comes with a roasted tomato sauce. As always, you can add all the veggies you like. The Hearty Italian, Italian and Sourdough breads are vegan. If the vegan subs are not available at your local SUBWAY, ask that they offer them!

I'm trying this question again, as I got no answer.
I know this probably isn't very simple if possible, but is there any way to edit the battle animations in Ruby? Mainly, I want to edit signature moves only used by one Pokemon which, in my hack, have been replaced. I already know how to edit everything but the animations. Specifically, I want to edit the animations for Mist Ball, Luster Purge, Doom Desire, and Ice Ball.

Based on the hypothesis that a set of circular arcs is related to a set of circles by translation, rotation and scaling, the paper presents the design of a misalignment cost function, the derivation of an optimal geometric transformation based on least squares fitting to align circular arcs to circles, and computer simulation results to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Transitional Keys: Easing the Turning Points in Older Life
McLeod, Beth Witrogen, Aging Today
Aging is about change, a change experienced all too often as loss in American culture. People feel change as loss especially when few socially sanctioned rituals mark the larger transitions people experience as they age and change. Andrea Sherman and Marsha Weiner have set about to alter this predicament.
In their new book, Transitional Keys, A Guidebook: Rituals to Improve Quality of Life for Older Adults, published by their nonprofit organization, Transitional Keys, the pair of educators have developed a curriculum to help professionals use ritual to ease the life-cycle transitions that can be so overwhelming for older adults and their families. The Transitional Keys technique, which brings ritual for elders into a variety of caregiving settings, can be used by family members as well as by caregivers.
Noting that the guidebook was inspired by the work of the late anthropologist Barbara Myerhoff, who identified the value of ritual in older age, Sherman explains that there are many socially accepted rituals for the first half of life but too few for the second half: "At a time when we could use them, we don't have them. In the first half we have pregnancy, birth, christenings, weddings. What is there between retirement and funerals for an elder? Not much. There are so many traumatic events, and no way to acknowledge them. Yet there are so many turning points: menopause, retirement, losing a driver's license, moving into a different living situation, losing a spouse, losing friends-it's huge."
Transitional Keys grew from an exploration of how the transformative power of ritual could benefit elders. Sherman and Weiner, who have backgrounds in modern dance-which has rituals of preparation, concentration and training-developed an instructional program that helps people caring for elders build opportunities for celebrating and honoring life experience, both loves and losses. The book divides rituals into celebrations, turning points and loss. The program encompasses learning about ritual tools and techniques, "how you do it and what you need to do it," said Sherman, who is project director for the Consortium of New York Geriatric Education Centers at New York University, Division of Nursing. …

Alex Nabaum, Deseret Morning News
Pardon our French, as people used to say back in the days when they didn't use the following words quite so often, but we're going to now talk about the phrases "pissed off" and "that sucks."
Are these dirty words? Or just words?
And what about those other words, the ones that are still taboo enough to require dashes or abbreviations in newspapers such as this one? The s-word. The f-word. The f-word used as the all-purpose adjective. High-school teachers will tell you the halls are full of these words. As for "pissed off" students say it so often "they're unaware they even say it," Highland High chemistry teacher Monica French says.
Expletives made headlines last month when the Grove Theater in Pleasant Grove canceled its production of Neil Simon's "Rumors" after the playwright refused to let the theater delete language it thought its audience would find offensive "a lot of G-D and Jesus Christs," explains theater co-owner Gayliene Omary, plus "the f-word used very casually."
Acoustically speaking, words are just a series of hisses, pops and clicks. " 'Bad' words only have an effect if people think they're bad," says Marianna Di Paolo, chairwoman of the University of Utah Department of Linguistics. "Words are harmful if a culture regards them as harmful. Words become taboo because the culture associates taboo things with them.
In Victorian times, the word "leg" was considered risque, Di Paolo explains. At the dinner table, it wasn't acceptable to ask for a leg or a thigh of chicken, which is why people started using the term "dark meat." (People also put skirts on tables and beds, so the furniture legs wouldn't show.) Within our own cultural memory, the word "pregnant" was forbidden on "I Love Lucy" in the early 1950s.
Our sensitivity about words changes over time. Linguists call that "cognitive dialectology," says Rodolfo Celis, a linguist at Arcadia University. A word like "pissed" or "sucks," for example, might be considered crass and therefore inappropriate in "polite company." Then it starts seeping into more general usage, until finally there's a tipping point, Celis says, in which the word has become so mainstream that the people who still don't use it often the older generation start complaining that language has become coarser.
Eventually, though, a word that once could get your mouth washed out with soap will be regarded as just a word. Does that mean we've become desensitized and crass? More desensitized but also less neurotic about bodily functions and sex? Have the words simply become sounds, devoid of any reference to something taboo?" 'Suck' is one that I am personally struggling with," says Celis, "as I perceive that it is shifting. When things are shifting there are some dangerous points of ambiguity." So recently, while teaching his freshman English composition class, in what he describes as "a lame attempt at inter-group affiliation," he said to his students: "I know some of these chapters kind of suck in the sense of exciting reading." The word sounded vulgar to his own ears, Celis admits. "But I genuinely think it is an almost neutral adjective for many freshmen."
Taboos evolve
Playwright Neil Simon's lawyer told Grove Theatre co-owner Gayliene Omary that "educated people" can handle the f-word, and that Utahns need to become desensitized. That got Omary thinking. "Maybe he's saying that educated people don't let these words have power. Maybe we give these words more power than they deserve." But Omary doesn't agree. If a person becomes desensitized to the f-word, she says, it means becoming desensitized to the disrespect she believes it embodies.
Robert Thompson, professor of media and culture at Syracuse University, recently heard a young Presbyterian pastor use the word "crap" from the pulpit. Thompson guesses the pastor didn't realize that the word once referred exclusively to excrement.

BENJAMIN D. EDDINS was born in .Todd County, Ky., November 4, 1841, where he still retains his residence, though about one-third of his farm lies in Christian County. His father, Dulany Eddins, was born August 14, 1800, in Orange County, Va., and died in Todd County, Ky., July 24, 1864. He was a member of the Bethel Baptist Church. The family are thought to have been of Scotch origin. Subject's mother, Susan S. Downer, of Culpeper County, Va., was born June 14, 1806, and died in Todd County, February 11, 1874. Her grandfather, Col. John Slaughter, of the Revolutionary war, was a grandson of Francis Slaughter, who settled in Orange County, Va., prior to 1730. Subject was educated at the select schools in the neighborhood, until the war seriously interfered with the prosecution of his studies. He has read many good books, and is also well versed in the current literature of the day. By vocation he is a farmer, owning 300 acres of valuable and productive land, which he manages with success in the cultivation of tobacco, wheat, corn and stock, and it has been remarked by his neighbors that the products his farm command the highest market price. He was married, October 1, 1874, to Miss Clara M., daughter of Rev. Samuel Baker, D. D., of Russellville, Ky. She was a graduate of the Evansville, Ind., High School, and died July 2, 1875. Subject is a * member of the Blue Lodge, and of the Moore Chapter of Royal Arch Masons, of Fair-view, Ky. He is also a member of the Grange; and while the organization existed, was a Good Templar. In religion he is connected with the Bethel Missionary Baptist Church, and affiliates with the Democratic party in politics.
