Measuring ROI Tops Executives' List of Social Media Challenges
Finding knowledgeable staff to execute social media tasks ranked as the second-most cited hurdle.
"Measuring or defining return on investment" was the top challenge when it comes to social media, according to a survey of marketing executives by The Creative Group, the marketing/creative staffing division of Robert Half International Inc.
Forty percent of marketing executives cited "measuring or defining return on investment" as the biggest stumbling block when it comes to social media. "Finding knowledgeable staff to execute social media tasks," ranked as the second-most cited hurdle. It was reported as the biggest challenge by 19 percent of marketing executives.
"The social media landscape is changing constantly, making it difficult for companies to not only determine which channels to focus on but also how to effectively measure the impact of their efforts," said Donna Farrugia, executive director of The Creative Group.
The survey included 500 marketing and advertising executives.

8″ Lani Loom (without shedding device)
Our second-smallest loom, perfect for weaving beads!
The eight inch wide Lani Loom without the shedding device is designed to accommodate the needs of bead weavers who want a small, simple, but entirely functional bead loom and who plan to employ the traditional method of bead weaving. For those of you who want to weave with a shedding device, the Lani is available with one. The weaving width is 5″ and the length is 24″. One leg folds out to stand the loom upright. Although simple, this four pound loom is as sturdy and carefully designed as all our other looms. It's just a little smaller, a little simpler, for a pared down price.
- Description
Product Description
This loom has a lot of flexibility and works as well for bracelets, necklaces, purses, straps, pouches, cell phone cases, beaded tapestries and more. It sits sturdily on a table but you can also securely hold it in your lap or even lay it down flat on a table.
Accessories and additional coils are available for this loom. If you want to own just one Mirrix Loom for traditional beadwork, this could very well be just the loom for you.
Included: One 14 dent coil (Note: this coil is perfect for weaving with 11/0 seed beads. For 11/0 Delica beads, you will want the 18 dent coil. This, and other warp coils, can be purchased separately), two wooden clips, flat wrench (11/26/15 and later), warping bar, written instructions.

1 review for 8″ Lani Loom (without shedding device)
This is my second loom that I purchased from Mirrix. It is flawless in the construction. I did not get the shedding device as I will use this loom just for bracelets and smaller bead looming projects. But, I did get it with my Little Guy. What a fabulous company! Hands down the best looms made!

|Thrivent members honored for community service
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
The Rocky Mountain Regional Financial Office of Thrivent Financial for Lutherans announced the Phillips County Chapter has earned a "Chapter of Excellence" award for its contributions to the local community in 2009. The award honors the chapter for their outstanding work to address local needs.
"The Thrivent Financial members of the Phillips County Chapter are deserving of this award," said Ralph Yernberg, manager of Lutheran community services for the Rocky Mountain Region of Thrivent Financial. "They show their care and compassion for others by organizing and participating in outreach projects that make a difference in their community. It's all about people helping people."
As a membership organization, Thrivent Financial is focused on meeting its members' needs around financial security, as well as helping to improve the quality of life in the communities where members live. As a result, Thrivent Financial creates programs to encourage members to, in turn, help congregations, schools, nonprofits and individuals in need. Each Thrivent Financial member is a member of one of nearly 1,400 local chapters through which they can participate in charitable, educational or social activities.
We listen to our members and our members are listening to what their community needs," said Brad Hewitt, senior vice president of fraternal operations for Thrivent Financial. "We are proud that we can put our tools and resources to work through our members to deliver this kind of targeted help."
This 2008 Chapter's leadership board was comprised of Carroll Bussell, President; Rhoda Renzelman, Vice-President; Amy Einspahr, Records Director; Susan Roll-Walters, Financial Director; Orville Tonsing, Assistant Financial Director; Brenda Girardi, Congregational Service Team Director, Phyllis Hadeen, Communications Director; and Cherrie Brown, Community Service Team Director.
In order to earn the Thrivent Financial "Chapter of Excellence" status in 2008, a chapter had to meet six key hallmarks including conducting youth-adult volunteer programs and using 100 percent of the funding available to support service projects through the chapter's programs.
Anyone with ideas for future projects in 2009 should contact Orville Tonsing or Susan Roll-Walters to obtain the information to apply for funding.

You maybe be taking great care of the skin on your face but are you neglecting your body? Sometimes it is the most forgotten parts that take the most heat during the day. This is definitely the case with the feet. There is no question that the feet are our biggest support system, cushioning blows and taking a beating all day long throughout our daily activities which may be done without the best fitting and most comfortable shoes. Exuviance by NeoStrata Foot Care allows you to pamper and treat your most neglected parts. You may feel that your personal care routine is complete but without the healing and nurturing products from the Exuviance by NeoStrata Foot Care line, you haven't covered every inch of your skin.
Many people complain about tired and achy feet as a result of standing up all day long. Issues related to dryness and irritation can also become a problem in addition to calluses that result from continued friction. Exuviance by NeoStrata Foot Care can get your feet back on track and make you feel better overall.
There are many problems associated with the feet, many of which are related to issues with the skin itself. The feet can suffer from poorly fitted shoes in the form of calluses which are hardened patches of skin that can build up and become very thick and rough in texture. Calluses can become painful at times and may make it more difficult than ever to achieve a good shoe fit. Exuviance by NeoStrata Foot Care can tackle sore and stubborn calluses when used regularly. At the same time, the feet really suffer from dehydration and this is the case more so during the winter months when there is low humidity in the air. In extreme cases, the skin on the feet can crack, creating painful fissures that are difficult to heal.
Exuviance Heel Repair is a very effective treatment designed specifically for the heel area. It can produce amazing results in just a few weeks with regular use. The formula contains both Alpha hydroxy acids and polyhyrdoxy acids which deeply exfoliate to remove dead dull skin cells which harden to form calluses on the feet. At the same time, vitamins and moisturizers nourish and soften the skin to help encourage the speedy recovery of dry patches and cracks. Even though this is a potent formula, it is enriched with ingredients that help reduce the instance of irritation.
You may be able to hide your feet during the winter months but when summer comes, be ready by getting your feet in shape. Pamper your neglected soles by adding Exuviance Heel Repair into your daily routine.

The Irish Examiner report authorities fear that two men have perished on Ireland's Carrantuohill. A man in his 40's fell several hundred feet on Beenkeragh Ridge to his death on the MacGillycuddy Reeks. Authorities have also called off the search for a 22-year-old Swedish man, Olas Jansen after a week. Weather conditions were described as atrocious, with very high winds and rain. The Jansen search involved more than 180 climbers and walkers from clubs north of the border, a Coastguard helicopter, Civil Defence, gardaàand seven sniffer dogs. The team expressed cause for concern about the large numbers of people that climb Carrantuohill during the festive season, especially on St Stephen's Day.

Alt-az mount for 12 pound refractor?
Started by pugliano , Dec 03 2012 02:35 PM

Posted 03 December 2012 - 02:35 PM
I'm considering getting the Celestron Omni 120 XLT (a 12 pound refractor), but I hate EQ mounts and want to use it on a simple, sturdy alt-az mount. Will this scope fit on something like a Voyager mount, or does someone make an alt-az mount that can handle a long FL refractor?
Posted 03 December 2012 - 04:22 PM
Take a look at the Desert Sky Astro DSV-2 mount.
Posted 03 December 2012 - 08:22 PM
The Universal Astronomics Unistar deluxe altaz mount mated with a medium field tripod would be excellent for a 12 pound refractor. I own 3 UA Unistar mounts and they are smooth and steady to use with my scopes ranging from a 4" refractor to a C14.
Posted 03 December 2012 - 10:29 PM
Another vote for the Universal Astronomics mounts. I have a Macro Star Delux on a surveyors tripod. It's the perfect match for with my Meade 102 and my TMB 130.
Posted 05 December 2012 - 02:13 PM
How about that OTA weight and a length of 40" or so?
Posted 05 December 2012 - 07:38 PM
As long as the OTA is balanced, the UA Unistar mount will handle it easily.
Posted 05 December 2012 - 07:50 PM
Thanks. All great suggestions!

According to fire officials, the fire "significantly damaged" the basement.
Family members are helping the residents of the home.

It is such an interesting thing to be in a group of pilots and bring up the word "Tailwheel" and then watch the response. It is interesting because it always elicits a different response. Some pilots drawback in distaste because of the things they have heard about how difficult they are to manage. I have one friend who refuses to ever fly one because of his experience years ago (long before he became a pilot) when the pilot he was flying with made it out to appear to be the most difficult airplane to fly on the planet. They were flying a Cessna 180. Yet other responses will include grins, a glimmer in the eye, and sometimes even pure laughter in remembering a past experience. How is it that such a simple airplane design can conjure up so many different responses in the aviation community? And what is the real story behind this mysterious bird? The list of questions can go on and on but the real question is, is there a benefit to flying a tailwheel airplane? I mean, why, if almost all new aircraft are tricycle gear, would you ever want to learn how to fly one of those old, often fabric, tailwheels?
There are many reasons to take on any type of additional flight training; every time you dedicate yourself to learning a new aviation skill you are improving your piloting abilities, your understanding of flight and increasing your confidence. You become a safer pilot with each additional training experience you take. So you might wonder, what does a tailwheel have to offer that other aircraft types may not?
Tailwheel aircraft hone stick-and-rudder skills.
This is because you experience the aerodynamics much more so than you do in tricycle gear aircraft, both when you're on the ground and in the air. While learning how to manage your MFD's and PFD's, autopilots and anti-icing systems, stick-and-rudder skills are often under developed in today's modern general aviation aircraft. This doesn't mean that these aircraft are not great aircraft, it just means that as pilots we need to be sure to do our part to round-out our skills so we become the most well-rounded and safe pilots we can be.
2. Tailwheel aircraft teach focus and vigilance.
Tailwheels aren't tough to fly, they just require more "work" than your common general aviation aircraft. But, really, what is "work"? Work means paying attention. Work means focusing on what the airplane is doing, understanding why it is doing it and being cognizant of how to manage it appropriately. Work is the effort the pilot provides during the flight to safely control the aircraft in the most precise manner possible. Tailwheel aircraft are fun to fly and often make pilots feel more like a pilot than they ever have before, but that is because they don't let you get away with sloppy technique or lack of attention during take-off's and landings. They do exactly what you tell them to do, nothing more, nothing less. These traits allow them to teach aviators precision, focus, and amazing airmanship.
3. Tailwheel aircraft offer a variety of missions often not available in common tricycle gear aircraft.
If you are one of those aviation enthusiasts that have watched every unique flight video on YouTube then you know that these aircraft offer an amazing array of missions and opportunities. From a 65hp J-3 Cub just like the ones that WWII aviators started out in to a Pitts aerobatic biplane or from an Aviat Husky on 29" Tundra Tires landing on riverbeds to a DC-3 delivering mail around Alaska – tailwheel aircraft can pretty much do it all.
4. Tailwheel aircraft connects today's pilots with yesterday's aviators.
If you take a non-pilot and put them in front of two aircraft, a Cessna 152 or a Piper J3 Cub, which one do you think they will pick to go for a ride in? Of course this could lead to a debate but from experience I can tell you that given the opportunity people often flock to tailwheels. I believe this is very much due to the fact that all of us have seen old photos and videos of the Red Barron, the aces of WWII and prominent aviators and aviatrixes like Lindburgh and Earhart all flying tailwheels. There's a connection to the excitement, adventure and heroism of the past that is forever linked to these aircraft, even if it is an aircraft that was built this year!
I may be a bit biased because I am a tailwheel enthusiast with the best of them, but I would throw out the challenge to any pilot looking to sharpen their airmanship while becoming a safer and more confident pilot to look into a tailwheel endorsement. Not only is the knowledge applicable to every other airplane you will fly in, but it is sure to be a fun and exciting adventure to add to your logbook!
Looking for tailwheel instruction in your area? Check out the EAA's website, IAC's website, or contact your local flight school. If you're in California and looking to try your hand at it contact JATO Aviation to find out more about how you can learn to fly tailwheels in their 2010 Super Decathlon with Chelsea Stein Engberg.

You could put a watermark or put your signature/name on it. That would avoid people from calling it their own.
Alright, I'm a newbie here. However, I have something that is worrying me.
I have a map I'd like to post on here. It's hand drawn and colored, and I've put more work into it than I have any other. Honestly, I did it with the intent of posting it here. I've looked through this site a lot, and I love the stuff I see, and I would be honored to have you wonderful people look at my work and hopefully give me some much wanted comments/criticism. I've also read some on how to post my map and the copyright rules. I know that anything I post on here is my work legally. If it was featured, then CG could post it on their homepage and other sites could possibly link to it (I think?).
However, I can't help but worry. What is to keep someone from taking my map, calling it their own, and doing something else with it? What are the best ways to protect my work from theft or copying by some less-than-honorable individuals? I'm not so arrogant as to believe that my map is so amazing that people couldn't help but try and take it, but I'm still rather protective of it. I'd eventually like to base some short stories in the little world I've created...I'm actually currently working on a political map (several actually...spanning several centuries) and a basic history (some things more specific than others at the moment). The idea of anyone taking my work and calling it their own makes me very reluctant to post it on the internet.
Again, I'd love to post my work on here and have you all look at it. However, I still don't feel exactly safe doing it. Does anyone have any words of confidence?
P.S. I'd like to make it clear that it's not this community that I'm wary of. Though none of you know me, I have a great amount of respect for all of you. Most of these maps simply blow my mind, and give me something to aspire to. It's people on the outside that I'm more suspicious of. It's not my intent to offend anyone.

You can put disclaimers in your post like "Not for commercial use" but that really doesn't deter anyone. Ultimately, anyone can save the image of the map to their hard drive and put it up in some out of the way place that only a few know about and take all the credit for it and you may never even know about it. I'm betting that sort of thing happens all the time (cuz we've seen it many times before here) - dude sees a cool map, saves it, shows his friends, and tells them that he made it. However, the jig is up when they ask him to make a map for them the same way and he can't so they begin to doubt the first map was his. The dude may come back here and put up a request for a map that matches your style and that should raise red flags about his intentions. Most of us here keep what we call "Inspiration Folders" where we save cool stuff or neat ideas to explore in the future - whether it be a technique for hills or forests, cool continent shapes, neat tricks, etc. and we sometimes explore these things later in our own work. Nearly all of us give credit where it is due saying something like "I saw a neat thing by Mr X and here's my take on it". If your map goes into a published book and someone comes along and says "Hey, you stole that map from my friend cuz I've seen it before" you will certainly not have to deal with any legal questions as the dude who lifted your map knows that he did so and would never call you out on it...just his unknowing friends would. So those folks you can just ignore. Should your map just linger on a shelf somewhere for the rest of your life then there's no harm. Should you see your map appear in someone else's book then you can call them out on it and you might actually win the case but you'd lose a lot of money to the lawyers. Should the book sell millions of copies you might be able to get some royalties out of it whether you sue him or agree to something out of court. So, in the end, if you post it you should just assume that the world has seen it and someone somewhere has a copy saved...it's the way of the world. You always have your originals and the courts can settle things if push comes to shove. Not much of a confidence booster but I'm a cynic about trusting other people.

My best advice is to never post full resolution images and never post the "source" file (PSD). Unscrupulous folks can still steal it and say it's theirs but you'll win any actual legal discussion of ownership if you can produce the original files at a higher resolution than they can. To my mind, the legal issues are the only ones that really count...any "reputation" issues (i.e. some schmuck claiming your map is their work around the Interwebz) are more easily resolved and less important.
Anything you put online will eventually be taken and used without your permission. But as Ascension and mearrin69 have said, you can easily take steps to protect yourself legally.
Personally, I stopped worrying about it a while ago and uncopyrighted the majority of my maps (unless a client paid for them), so anyone can use them for whatever purpose they want, be it personal or commercial. That path certainly isn't for everyone, but I guess my point is that sometimes we just need to let go a little and focus on why we make maps. For most of us, the benefits we receive from sharing our maps, getting constructive criticism and learning as a community far outweigh the potential risk of some schlub stealing our content and claiming it as their own.
If you're worried about it, I suggest you put a license notice in your signature (Creative Commons is a popular one) so anyone taking your work has seen explicit reference to your ownership. That, coupled with your ownership of the source files, should be enough to protect you legally.

Putting on a watermark or sig has already been said but if you do it than put it on in a way that makes it impposible to remove by cropping without destroying other noticeable details of the map. If someone sees a map than they can tell has been cropped they're going to ask about the rest of the map which can put the taker in an awkward situation. Of course people can remove the watermark in photoshop but if they have that kind of talent than they should really be making maps, not stealing them. Also, I've done a map at full resolution, or even full size in most cases and alwasy keep the psd file.
Not wanting to hijack the conversation but if you see a map and have questions about it, is it okay to post a sample of it here for inquiry if you reference where you got it?

Finished Maps
RIP Angel "Ingy" Yates - The first inspiration that guided me towards art. You will be missed...
Watermarking was mentioned earlier and has been discussed before.
There is a method of invisible watermarking that costs M-O-N-E-Y for a form of protection. I once subscribed to Digimarc for a basic watermark ID - I notice it now costs $50 per year and you can watermark 1000 images for that.
Basically your ID number gets encoded into the image and programs can read it. Digimarc maintain your record and number and people can look up the owner of the watermark. I did it for a year or so and I'm attaching one of my watermarked images (NOT a map - sorry) so you can play with it. (My "Olly" sig has nothing to do with the Digimarc watermark btw)
Basically something like Paintshop Pro has a View-Watermark pop down menu, if you use that on this image it should show my number (354519) and let you look up the Digimarc website registry of that number. Since I haven't maintained my payments for registry they seem to have lost me! No matter. The principle is demonstrable. PSP also puts a Copyright symbol on the PSP image window (that's nice!... erm)
As an experiment you might like to try cropping and messing around with the image to see how much or little it takes to mess up the watermark? The theory being - I guess - that you have to do sufficient "damage" that makes your own original more provable as the original.
Does that make sense????
edit: this watermark was done back in 2003 so they may have improved the thing since then

Id say if you post something on the internet or make it public in any way then it gets copied whether copyright or not and by people who are commercial, and even government sponsored so if the information is secret enough - dont post it. Next I would agree with above posts - are you wanting to stop people copying or want to be legally the owner in case of copying cos thats two different things. Next I would not CC license any work which you might one day publish in a book. Thats gonna be a no no to the book publisher.
Thats interesting about the watermark Crayons. I looked at your image and seen the Digimark noted and saw how robust it is. Not bad really. Copes with resize and some slight blur but 10 degree rotation took it out. Also I noted that if you clamp the black then it goes too. I think this is a good idea in the way of registering that this image is owned by you in a kind of digital signature kind of way.
However I would just like to submit the following image for your appraisal Crayons.... you might want to try it ! I think this says everything you need to know about these paid watermarks. So I do hope they have improved it since then.

I had and have the same concerns and questions you do. Personally, I figured my best work is yet to come and I thought that if I wanted to learn to do art in this digital world I would have to take some chances along the way. Yeah, I look at my settings/attachments here and see that folks are downloading my images. I can't figure out why they would download some of the little scribble experiments but whatever. In the long haul, I learn with every post of mine. The advice to not post at full resolution is probably the most certain protection. If they don't have all the pixels you do and/or don't have the full size image you have all the proof it is your work. I always sign my pieces but that is easily cropped. Also state your reserved rights or whatever along with the image.
I was watching a professional artist working on a piece and he said, "Anything I draw, I can draw again. Usually better than the first time." So, if you had to, you could recreate a map by hand and it would probably be better than your first version anyway.
It is the Internet and is filled with people lacking in moral fiber, someone somewhere is going to take your artwork and wallpaper their room or something. Are they going to make millions off of it? If they can do that with mine, I want them to contact me because for a small share I'd be happy to provide them with a heckofa lot more. Clearly they have a business savvy I lack.
I'm also 43 years old and figure I've only got so many decades left to do this. I can't afford to horde my art in the top of my closet any longer. If I get ripped off I'll be livid, but anything I create I can do better so in the end I figure they are only getting my leftovers. Time for me to step out of my comfort zone.
If you go sign up on diviantArt they have a setting to put their watermark on anything you post there. It's free but it wouldn't be the same as hosting it here and you might not get as many comments/critiques simply because some might not want to navigate away from this site.

I agree. It's better to have your work up and get comments than for it to be hidden away in case someone were to steal it and use it for their own nefarious means. There are cases where people have reposted guild work on other sites. But the people here are good at spotting it, and in all cases so far the person who has been reposting it has taken it down (and usually been very apologetic in the process).

Some preliminary work, mostly just blocking out the rooms. Also a bit of texture work using vector patterns (mostly live traced from bitmaps). A couple of places have some detail (the table, carpet and other objects in the "war room" are placed bitmaps, just to see how that works). The shadows on the stairs in the chapel is me trying to learn how to use meshes.
At battlemap scale, a 200' building is really huge. I'm making the map bigger than I really need at first, so there is quite a bit of space dedicated to the grounds. Will probably trim that off in the final version.
Oh, the swirly bit at the top is a fountain, based on the Knights of the Pale's emblem, which is a sword stabbing deep into a blue vortex (killing the outsiders before they come through, I suppose).
Anyway, the ground floor, with labels (and very reduced in scale):

Greensboro, NC -- Deputies are questioning a suspect, but no charges have been filed in an early morning shooting in Guilford County Saturday.
Officers responded to the scene on Ardsley Court around 3:30 a.m. and found Matthew Obrian Norris, 28, suffering from several gunshot wounds.
EMS took Norris to Cone Hospital where he later died.
Deputies identified the shooter as 28-year-old Charles Tyler Forrest, who lived at the scene. Investigators say Forrest is cooperating with the investigation.
No charges have been filed in the case because detectives are still trying to determine if the shooting was in self defense.

On Tuesday morning, deputies came across a school bus filled with students that stopped in the middle of Levy Hammock Road because of poor visibility. The deputies were able to safely escorted the bus from the area, according to MCSO spokesman Judge Cochran. He later said the road was open and clear.
There were no state road closures.

Testimony :: Honorable Ben Nighthorse Campbell
Chairman - Helsinki Commission
This hearing has been convened by the Helsinki Commission to review U.S. policy toward the 55-nation Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE). I would like to start out by stressing how much we appreciate the close working relationship that has developed between the Commission and the Department of State over the past years. This hearing is an opportunity to build on that partnership as we look ahead.
The Commission is keenly interested in how the Administration is making use of the OSCE to promote U.S. interests in the expansive OSCE region, in particular as a tool for advancing democracy, human rights, and the rule of law. These are core values of the Helsinki process, recognized as integral to peace and security both within and among States.
The United States should not shy away from difficult subjects because they might be unpleasant to another government. As human rights defender Andrei Sakharov once observed, "the whole point of the Helsinki Accords is mutual monitoring, not mutual evasion of difficult problems." One of the strengths of the OSCE is that our countries, on the basis of consensus, have developed a body of shared commitments. In this regard, I welcome the leadership Ambassador Minikes has demonstrated since taking up his post as Head of the U.S. Mission to the OSCE in Vienna.
To be truly effective, however, the various components of the U.S. foreign policy apparatus – the State Department, U.S. embassies in the field, and the U.S. Mission to OSCE – must be mutually reinforcing. It is also imperative that senior U.S. officials visiting participating States be consistent in the message they deliver. This is especially true when it comes to the countries of Central Asia.
The events of the past year since we last met to take stock of our common work confirm that the values and commitments reflected in the Helsinki Final Act are more important than ever, and that the OSCE can be an invaluable tool in strengthening the implementation of these commitments and thereby our security.
The OSCE's definition of security encompasses not only the human dimension, but the economic and security dimensions as well. The Commission is paying increasing attention to the multi-dimensional aspect of the OSCE's work. Often, issues cannot be pegged to a single dimension. For example, independent, effective judicial systems are crucial to redress for human rights violations; they are also crucial to the development of strong market economies. Police forces are instrumental in ensuring security, but sometimes can be themselves perpetrator of human rights violations. Corruption threatens the development of democratic institutions in many countries, and organized crime is a major source of funding for terrorist organizations. The OSCE is well-positioned to address many of these cross-dimensional issues.
- 2 -
Corruption and organized crime remain major roadblocks to progress in democratization and development of rule of law in many transition countries. I am concerned that if corruption is not addressed, OSCE efforts to develop democratic institutions will falter. I urge the Department to explore ways to promote practical cooperation among the 55 OSCE countries in combating corruption and international crime and how this critical topic might be reflected in the Porto Ministerial document.
I would like to touch briefly to specific concerns in three OSCE participating States: Georgia, Belarus and Ukraine.
Developments in the Republic of Georgia appear almost on a daily basis in our newspapers and the Commission recently convened a hearing to assess the grave situation in that country. Given the involvement of scores of Coloradans in the U.S.- sponsored train and equip program, I am particularly concerned over threats to the sovereignty and independence of Georgia that could impact U.S. forces deployed in that country. The United States must remain actively engaged diplomatically to avert possible aggression from Russia.
In Belarus, the regime remains determined to pursue a reckless course of self-isolation as the human rights and economic conditions in the country deteriorate even further. The lack of legitimate executive and parliamentary leadership can only be remedied through the holding of free and fair elections in a manner consistent with OSCE commitments. Meanwhile, the U.S. must remain steadfast in support of Belarusian democracy in recognition that the people of Belarus deserve a better future.
Finally turning to Ukraine, the gravity of President Kuchma's personal approval of the sale of sophisticated radars to Iraq requires a decisive and unequivocal response from the United States. A cosmetic approach will not suffice and those who would promote a measured response are shortsighted. The issues at stake are too high to conduct business as usual with him. Priority should be given to investigating any financial links between the Ukrainian leader and his associates and sales to rouge states, including Iraq. Devoid of credibility, Mr. Kuchma deserves to be treated as the pariah he has become.

Baltimore City School Commissioner Resigns Amid Allegations of False Credentials
(Updated 8/2/2013) Baltimore City school board member Anthony A. Hamilton submitted his letter of resignation Aug. 1 after several inconsistencies were disclosed about his personal and professional background.
According to Baltimore NBC affiliate WBAL-TV, Hamilton used another man's academic record to produce false credentials.
"As a result of Mr. Hamilton's actions and claims we are tightening up our hiring procedures," William Reinhard, spokesperson for the Maryland State Department of Education, told the AFRO.
Reinhard told the AFRO that the department received tips of discrepancies concerning claims Hamilton made about his background, and that he allegedly falsified information on his resume.
"Mr. Hamilton's resignation from the Baltimore City School Board due to allegations of falsified education documents is unfortunate, but necessary at this time," Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake said in a statement.
Hamilton was appointed to the school board in June. According to a June 18 release from Governor Martin O'Malley's office, Hamilton was an Education Program Coordinator for Baltimore City, working with city schools and the Department of Juvenile Services. The release also stated that Hamilton is a graduate of Coppin State University, and Johns Hopkins University.
An investigation conducted by the state Education Department, however, found that no degrees were awarded to Hamilton.
Hamilton worked at Coppin State University as an admissions counselor. While there, he was able to gain access to security codes needed to manipulate students' records, according to WBAL. He was able to change the transcripts of another man, to make it appear as if they were his, tricking the system to show that it was he who actually had the degree.
"To be on the school board, a qualified candidate must live in Baltimore City, have a passion and desire to work in the school system and have an overall interest in the position," said Reinhard. "The selected candidate's information is then passed onto the mayor and governor and the final decision is made."
"This position is a non-paid position," Reinhard told the AFRO. "An undergraduate or master's degree isn't required."
Hamilton ran for Baltimore city council in District 2 in 2011, but lost to Brandon M. Scott.
Though he served on the school board for less than two months, Hamilton helped develop policies for the city school system, make decisions on the budget for the school system and helped develop educational requirements.
Additional consequences may follow from Hamilton's full-time employer, the city's Health Department.
"I have ordered the Baltimore City Health Department, where Mr. Hamilton is employed, to conduct an internal review of these circumstances and to take appropriate action as needed," Rawlings-Blake said in a statement.
The unidentified man told WBAL that he tried to get a copy of his transcripts years ago from Coppin, but encountered and unexpected surprise.
"They could not locate it by my name, but when I gave my social security number, they were able to pull it up, but it was not my name on it," he said. "Anthony Hamilton's name was on my transcript."
Hamilton could not be reached for comment.

Contextualized Leadership Development (CLD)
President's Report at Southern Baptist Convention Annual Meeting in New Orleans
Jeff Iorg, president of Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary, began his report by telling the messengers, "We are delighted to be on the program just before what I hope will be an historic moment for the Southern Baptist Convention. I am speaking, of course, of the election of Dr. Fred Luter as our next president. We are particularly thrilled because Golden Gate is a diverse, multicultural community and we welcome the possibility of this momentous occasion."
Iorg explained how Golden Gate has long been on the leading edge of multicultural ministry among Southern Baptists, and has been called the most multicultural seminary in the United States.
"For many years, Anglo students have comprised only about half of our student body. The other half is Asians, African-Americans, Hispanics and peoples from the nations of the world. This diversity is also reflected in our faculty and staff. If you add in our CLD [Contextualized Leadership Development] students studying in more than 13 different languages, we are even more diverse," Iorg said.
Golden Gate in 1987 became the first Southern Baptist seminary to elect an African-American faculty member, Leroy Gainey, Iorg said. "We were the first to elect an African American [trustee] chairman, Dr. E.W. McCall, who served with distinction. Dr. David Gill, a former trustee of Golden Gate and now a faculty member, was the first Korean elected as a vice president of this convention. Golden Gate was the first Southern Baptist seminary to require an intercultural communication class for every master of divinity graduate, and we've done that for well over a decade. We are proud to model and lead multicultural ministry for Southern Baptists."
Multicultural ministry is often seen as welcoming a church of a different color or language into your association, Iorg said, noting that "many of you have moved beyond this to welcome members from different races into your churches. But here is the hidden assumption we must overcome. Many Southern Baptists welcome diversity as long as the minorities join the majority's way of doing things. As long as the worship style, the organizational plan and the financial decisions remain the way the majority wants them -- all are welcome."
He said Golden Gate has moved to another level. "We have embraced what it means to live and work in a multicultural environment. This shows up in everything from the ethnic food served at presidential events to the varieties of worship styles featured in chapel, to the normalcy of interracial and multicultural marriages on our campuses," Iorg said. "The demographic changes in North America will ultimately mandate these changes across our denomination if we are to reflect the communities we are trying to reach, particularly in urban areas. The Golden Gate family will tell you -- it's a great choice to make and we challenge you to follow our example."
Iorg focused on two endowment gifts Golden Gate received. In the 1990s David and Faith Kim created a fund to support intercultural education and missional training at Golden Gate, and for 15 years they have contributed all the earnings from that fund to the seminary. Golden Gate named the David and Faith Kim School of Global Missions in their honor. While they intended to give the fund to Golden Gate as part of their estate plan, the couple gave the fund to the seminary upon Faith Kim's retirement, Iorg said, making it the largest single gift Golden Gate ever received.
"This gift added $3.25 million to our endowment and will sustain this part of our training into the indefinite future. We thank God for this gift," he said.
Within a few days of the Kims' gift, the seminary received another major endowment gift from the estate of Cecil and Josephine Osborne. When Josephine died, Golden Gate received an immediate $1.4 million and will receive about $600,000 more when the estate obligations are resolved.
"These two gifts added $4,650,000 to our endowment. When finalized, the total gifts will exceed $5 million," Iorg said.
Golden Gate Seminary continues to expand its academic programs to meet the training needs for global ministry leaders. The Osborne gift, along with another $200,000 gift received last October, has funded the launch of a master of Christian counseling degree, with the first classes set for this fall. This is the most often-requested degree by prospective students. As part of this new department, the seminary is also launching a concentration in chaplaincy.
Golden Gate also is expanding its doctor of divinity program to include theology as a major field. "When we launched our Ph.D. program in 2007," he said, "we focused on biblical studies -- Old and New Testaments. We have filled our program to capacity every year since we started. By adding theology, we can increase the number of students permitted in the program as well as broaden the program's impact. We have already admitted a full cadre of theology students for this fall."
The seminary is significantly expanding its ministry in the Korean community, Iorg said. Many of Golden Gate's Korean students have not been able to meet the graduate school prerequisite of English-language proficiency.
"To meet their need, we are starting a new Korean-English bilingual program with the entire M.Div. delivered in Korean," he said. "We have employed additional faculty and will admit the first of these students this fall."
Golden Gate is also rapidly expanding its online program. "Beginning tomorrow, our national accrediting agency, the Association of Theological Schools, will have its biannual meeting," Iorg said. "They will probably amend the accreditation standards to permit offering fully online degrees. If they do, we will be at the forefront when those changes are adopted. Golden Gate already offers extensive online coursework and will offer fully online degrees as soon as they are permitted by national accrediting standards."
While there is much to celebrate about what is happening at Golden Gate, there are also challenges, Iorg said.
"On a daily basis, we work in the largest and most unchurched urban centers in the American West. The spiritual strain on our team is real and constant. Pray for our faculty, staff and students to maintain biblical fidelity, moral purity and spiritual vitality when so many oppose or abandon those values," he said.
Golden Gate's biggest challenge is the legal and political struggle to develop the Northern California campus property, Iorg said.
"The issues are too complicated to detail in this brief report, but the bottom line is this: We are trying to reshape our primary campus for the 21st century. We are facing daunting opposition to any further development in our area," Iorg said. "The opposition is well-funded, politically connected and philosophically opposed to our plans. We have an outstanding legal and land planning team working on our behalf. Our trustees are fully briefed on our options and are guiding us wisely to know when to negotiate and when to stand our ground. We need your prayerful support. God knows our need and He knows what's best for our long-term future. Pray for his will to be done no matter the obstacles."
Iorg concluded by thanking messengers for supporting Golden Gate over the years.
"Thank you for your Cooperative Program gifts, for sending students our way and for countless prayers you have offered on our behalf.
"Thank you for standing with us as we fulfill our mission of shaping leaders who expand God's Kingdom around the world," Iorg said.

7/28 - Created my blog page before class. I'll have more to say tonight.
7/28 - In class we discussed evidence based medicine/design, which is essentially the process of using empirical data gathered gathered from surveys, studies, etc. as the primary guiding factor in your design process. One thing I did find really interesting was the degree to which a hospital designed in this way will pay for the extra costs within a year and generally help the bottom line. Typically one thinks of the payoff for higher quality design to be more intangible and, from a bottom line perspective, almost a complete loss. The fact that it can make the money back and even help turn a profit long-term was a bit surprising.
7/30 - Today we took a trip to Hugh Spalding. It was an interesting trip that gave many insights into how hospitals, especially children's hospitals work, but it could have been longer. A lot of things, particularly the prepared presentation, felt rushed. It may be wise to, in the future, push the visit back further so that it can be better coordinated and allow students to stay longer. Also, pushing it back allows for participation to be optional so long as at least one representative of each group is present (assuming you wait until the groups are reasonably well crystallized).
7/30 - Hugh Spalding Report: Observations
1. Hand sanitizers next to elevators and scattered around. 2. Big purple comfy chairs for the kids gettings transfusions/dialysis 3. Drab waiting rooms full of people that look a lot like they're running out the clock in purgatory 4. A lot of the 'kiddie stuff' seemed tacked on after the fact. 5. Nurses' station with screens facing towards where patients would be, requiring the use of polarizing screen covers that make it hard to see. 6. Supply closet with thumb scanner 7. LCD screens and DVD player for kids to watch.
Conversations: 1) CHOA doesn't like the hand sanitizers but hasn't seemed to notice them yet. 2) TVs are a bad idea in waiting rooms 3) In the new building, emergency/primary/walk-in care will be co-located to allow for better use of space. 4) The new building is designed with growth in mind. Currently unassigned space has been built into the design to allow for painless growth. 5) HIPAA does not allow for nurse's computer screens to be visible to patients
Suggestions. 1) For increasing donor awareness: Epcot Center has quite a scam going on these days. They have these walls which, from a distance, look like they've been painted with abstract patterns, but when you get closer, you see it's all little tiny squares that are composed of a) pictures of donors b) donor's names c) short sayings that the donors requested put there. It's good because a) it's aesthetically pleasing b) it engages the viewer since it's not just a lisit of names
2) Have a small library for patients and families to use while they're waiting so they don't have to just reread the same month old issue of Time over and over again.
3) Give people waiting for something a beeper like at restaurants so they don't have to stay in the waiting room.
7/4 - One thing that I think is interesting about patient and family centered care is that there is a definite balancing act to it all. Doctors are authorities in their fields, and patients, well, aren't. It's one thing to, say, respect the wishes of Jehova's Witnesses to not have a transfusion or to work to accommodate the personal needs and wishes of the patient and his or her family, but there's a lot to be said for maintaining the doctor's ability to say, in no uncertain terms, "This is what you need."
7/6 - I think it's an interesting idea that you can't necessarily count on things like surveys and interviews to really tell you all the needs of a client or of the staff of a medical center. In fact, you have to worry about the surveys or interviews being skewed the wrong way, because the subjects may think they want one thing, but really need another. It's important to really go and look at how the existing facilities are being used to get a really good idea about how to best improve them.
7/18 - The whole dynamic of dealing with people on a team is something I find kind of neat, and I think that throwing in the multidisciplinary aspect of this class and this type of project adds a whole new realm to it. I know when I was coming up with project ideas, most of mine revolved around CS because that's what I think about. I found it really hard to incorporate things like architecture into the ideas. You've got to always be fighting with your ingrained way of thinking whenever you're working with a different discipline than your own or else everyone will just end up off in their own little space and there won't be any meaningful interaction from which to draw.

Checking in with Buddy Bell
Royals manager Buddy Bell says he spent about two days focusing solely on his health – and half of that time unconscious.
Bell spoke to the Royals Blog Monday by phone from his home in Chandler, Ariz. He's recovering from surgery in September to remove a cancerous growth behind his left tonsil. "I'm still getting my voice back, still fighting with my energy a little bit," he told us, with barely a rasp in his voice. "But if spring training started today, I'd be right there."
That's music to the ears of everyone in Royals Country – fans, the front office, and especially the players he watched on TV finish the regular season with a sweep of the Tigers in Detroit.
Bell once managed the Tigers, and Detroit front-office folks spent much of that last weekend asking Royals staff to relay good wishes to Bell. The manager says he started hearing from people even before the surgery.
"Who didn't I hear from?" he said, laughing. "You can't imagine the nice letters, cards, and calls I've gotten.
"That's one of the reasons I wanted to wait until the end of the season" to have the surgery, Bell said. He knew people would reach out inside baseball. He didn't realize he'd hear from people all over the nation, from all walks of life.
"It's really been extraordinary as far as the people who've taken the time to think about me. I've talked to people I haven't talked to in years and years. The problem is, my voice won't allow me to do a whole lot, so I haven't been able to get back to everybody."
Hopeful News
The Royals skipper says he started noticing something wasn't right with his swallowing, and the symptoms became too pronounced to ignore. He told his bosses before the game against the Los Angeles Angels on Sept. 20 and his players afterward he'd be taking a medical leave of absence. After the successful surgery, he watched his team come within a pitch of splitting with the soon-to-be American League Central champion Minnesota Twins and then blow into Detroit for three wild victories.
"I don't think I ever stopped" thinking of the team, Bell said, excluding, perhaps, that 48-hour surgery and recovering period. "When I took the job, I knew it would mean a lot of patience, making a lot of decisions. I don't think I ever stopped thinking about how we make this team better."
The best news to come from recent check-ups: Bell says he won't require any further treatment. That means no chemotherapy, no radiation, and a peace of mind he didn't know whether he could expect.
"That's good news," he said. "If that's what you have to do, you do it."
Bell says doctors were pleased with the tissue around the growth they removed. They found them to be "clean," meaning the cancer hadn't spread. He says they also checked lymph nodes in his neck and found one isolated cancer cell. The surgery to remove the nodes left a nice scar on his neck.
Recovery Takes Time
Bell was drafted by the Cleveland Indians the same year the Royals came into existence. Back in 1969, he might not have imagined an all-star career at third base with the Indians, the Texas Rangers, and two other teams. He might not have imagined the chance to manage the Tigers, the Colorado Rockies and now the Royals. But he says he never takes a day for granted in the big leagues. Take that last week of the season. He says he'd much rather have watched games from the dugout than on the tube.
"That was probably the hardest thing I had to do, besides the physical stuff," he said. "It was a different perspective to be watching the games on TV. When you are managing and are there, you are just going for a win. When it is on TV, it is tough, because the game is a lot slower. I can see why everybody has their opinions and second guessing. From a fan's perspective, it just looks so much easier. As a manager watching on TV, it is so much worse because you have to wait till the end of the game to talk to anyone about what happened during the game.
He talked to Royals general manager Dayton Moore during that time.
"I remember asking Dayton, 'You have to do this every night? Watch the good and bad?' The last three games in Detroit were great and gut wrenching as well, but I prefer to sit on the bench."
Thinking about '07
On the subject of Moore, who has retained the entire coaching staff for the 2007 season, Bell believes the franchise is about to turn some heads. He says that began happening well before his diagnosis – well before the dog days of summer heated up.
"I really think this team turned the corner after the first couple of months of the season… I don't think there's any question about that. We just need to keep players healthy."
He believes the changes being made to the roster and throughout the organization will put the Royals in a position to win for years to come.
"I think our patience showed the last 80 to 90 games. I think we can look at (Detroit) for somewhat of a blueprint, if we look at where they were three years ago. However, I think the important thing for me, Dayton and the people of Kansas City is to have a consistent contender every year. We are on our way. I can live with the hard times, if in the end we can be a contender every year."
Feeling Fortunate
Many of Bell's comments in this blog entry came from questions submitted by regular readers of royals.com. Many of you asked about Bell's off-seasons plans, well past his recovery. Bell and his wife have a few trips to take. Their daughter, Kristi, is getting married in December. Two of their sons' wives are expecting their first children. With a 162-game schedule, half of that on the road and travel days in between, he says staying at home from October through the first half of February is vacation enough.
All in all, he feels pretty lucky.
"Everybody has things to do deal with," he said. "I think I always have had a good outlook on this type of situation. I have never thought, 'Why me?' To tell you the truth, I am more of the thought 'Why not me?' There are worse things people go through. I have been pretty blessed in my life, and I am appreciative of that."
Blog Note – Buddy Bell says he wanted to see the Royals 2006 first-round draft pick, Luke Hochevar, in the Arizona Fall League but didn't get out to the Surprise, Ariz., facility before the team decided to shut Hochevar down for the fall. Doctors have since found Hochevar's arm soreness is not the result of something serious. Also, we might have received several questions for Bell from readers after we spoke with him, and we plan to forward those related to baseball to a front office person soon for a future Blog posting.

Glad to see that Manager Bell is recovering nicely. Can't wait to see him back on the bench in '07 when Kansas City shocks the baseball world! Go Royals!
I am glad to see Buddy Bell is doing better. My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family. Can't wait till 07 gets here and see you back to work.
This might as well have been published in people magazine. I really feel bad Bell got sick, but he is the holder of the worst W/L record in the history of professional baseball. Could we not have asked him if he any plans to change his record setting losing approach to managing? Oh, wait a minute, tough questions have declared illegal by der fuhrer. Oh, well, another 90+ loss season awaits.
Gee, I didn't know the entire season rested upon Buddy Bell's shoulders. He needs a quick recovery if that's the case (dust off the Gold Glove, #25). Games are won on the field. When Bell gets those youngins' hitting and fielding with consistency he'll get all the credit, right? The Royals are lucky to have him 'cause they need a fundamentals guy.
I too am glad to hear that Buddy is recovering well……… As managers go Buddy isn't much different on the field as any other manager. The players still have to play the game and perform.
We'll look for better days in 2007!

arborvitae Issue 42 - Communicating Forest Values
21 January 2011 | Downloads - publication
"To mark the International Year of Forests, and in editorial partnership with IUCN's Commission on Education and Communication (CEC), this special full-colour issue of arborvitae takes a critical yet constructive look at how forest values are being communicated to non-foresters. One theme that runs through several articles is the need to recognize and respond to people's emotional connections to forests; another is the powerful impact of photographs to inspire readers to act on written messages. With these points in mind, we invite you to try an exercise in 'relating to your audience' and look at the colour photos on the centre pages of this issue using your heart rather than your head, to see what they say to you."

Doctor Who Classic Comics
by admin on Apr.22, 2009, under Doctor Who Comics
The Doctor Who classic comics basically contains the different adventures of the famous Doctor. These are perfect for kids and adults alike. Since the show is a big hit in the screens it is just right to create its own Doctor Who comics. When reading it, you will still have the same impact that you get when watching it. In the year 2008, IDW Publishing started to reprint the 'Doctor Who Classics' comic strips which shows the 4th Doctor. From black and white comic strips, it is now transformed to colored comic strips to add more life to it. 'Doctor Who Classics' was first published in the Doctor Who Magazine (DWM) towards the end of 1970 to early 1980s. The collection of stories known as 'Doctor Who' was also reprinted by IDW Publishing which then features the 10th Doctor. In the middle of 2008, a six-part limited series was published entitled 'Doctor Who: The Forgotten'.
DWM where in the very first Doctor Who comic strips was published is now being managed by Panini Comics. Since they have acquired the license to publish DWM they were able to restore 10 volumes of the original DWM. The reprints already featured the 5th-6th, 8th and 10th Doctor, The7th Doctor will be featured this year. Today, the 10th Doctor is being featured on Doctor Who Magazine.
BBC UK created a way for Doctor Who fans to create their own Doctor Who comics. By visiting BBC UK site, anyone will be able to tell their own Doctor Who adventures through the BBC comic maker. This just shows that the Doctor Who hype has not still gone to sleep but will still be staying up for a very long time.
