At one time or another we've all been witness to one of those conference room clashes – two competing meeting groups gathered outside the company conference room debating over a scheduling conflict. This can happen all too often when there's only one main meeting room. Most companies need a large, well appointed conference room to accommodate major gatherings like board meetings, customer presentations, and company meetings. But as more meetings now involve multiple smaller parties at remote sites and only the main conference room is set up for unified collaboration, scheduling conflicts are becoming more numerous. The solution is establishing a …Read more
While it's clear that the proliferation of smartphones and tablets have made businesses increasingly mobile, there's still a need for physical meeting rooms in most companies. Customers are still going to be on site, teams will periodically meet face to face, and teleconferences still need a home base for those working in the office. Of course the meeting rooms of the future will need to consist of more than white boards, conference phones, and video projectors. To build a truly collaborative experience means leveraging the latest hardware and software technology. But building a superior physical meeting room involves much more than …Read more
It's been estimated that by the end of this year there will be 1.3 billion mobile workers. Gartner says that by 2020, 75% of businesses will be considered digital. Forrester forecasts that 43% of US workers will telecommute for some part of the day by 2016, nearly double from 2009. The trend is clear: the workplace of the future will be remote, mobile, and flexible. Despite resistance from some quarters – notably Yahoo and Reddit – this movement is unlikely to change. That means businesses need to figure out how to embrace the inevitable shift to ensure their long-term success. Here are …Read more
Bring up the topic of customer support service at any gathering and you're likely to hear a flood of horror stories.

We all dream of getting away from it all, but not all vacation get-a-ways are without their own level of stress:
- Cost
- The extra hours at work preparing to leave/The extra hours at work when we return
- The planning for pets, house plants, mail, home related issues.
- Going without the kids? Oh Boy, sounds great, but there are all the prearrangements for rides, meals and appointments to leave for the lucky sitters. Not to mention the laundry when you get back…if that is not on the sitter's to do list.
- The transportation getting to and from your vacation get away, plus transportation when there – think trains, plane or automobiles?
- Packing and forgetting something along the way.
- Phone, lap top, kindle, tablet chargers and adapters to find, bring and not forget.
Well the list can go on. For some, these are nothing to deal with. For some the thought of managing all these moving parts is too over whelming and they can't or won't enjoy their vacations. Even just one or two of these stressors, especially cost and planning for the house stuff, can put a damper on the whole idea of a vacation.
Here is solution – plan a really great stay-cation. There is a trick to the stay-cation and it does require some discipline and fortitude. The first day, like on any vacation, you show signs of withdrawal and an inability to relax and get out of the "day to day work head" of yours. But when you are a way you are forced to work through it, when on a stay-cation, the ability to succumb to checking voice mail or email is ever present. So stay focused on relaxing; it is a learned skill set.
- Make an agreement with your friends and family you are staycationing with. There is no checking work emails or work voicemails. This is a vacation remember.
- There has to be consequences for not adhering to this rule – massage for partner, pay for dinner with friends, kids choose all activities for the next day…something that will help you stay focused.
- Make a plan for each day as if you were away somewhere.
- Look up carnivals, fairs, special events within a comfortable driving distance.
- Find out what exhibits are being featured at the local museums.
- When was the last time you went to the zoo, aquarium, and botanical gardens?
- Have you tried Geocaching yet?
- Depending on the season, see what activities are being offered through your Parks and Rec department:
- Cross country skiing
- Paddle Boarding
- Kayaking Explorations
- Guided Nature Hike
- Photography
- Anyone in the community or surrounding area having cooking classes, wine tastings, live music, comedy shows, magic shows, gardening demonstrations, anything you might be interested in.
- Schedule an in home massage, manicure, pedicure, and/or facial.
- Make time to do nothing. Really. It is harder than you think to be in your home and do nothing at all – not the garage clean up, not the closets, not the laundry or clean your desk, weed…nothing. Just read a book or rent a movie you missed in the theaters.
- Take advantage of what you have right in your own home, neighborhood or gym:
- Pool
- Hot Tub (hydrotherapy at your convenience)
- Sauna (if you don't have one, get one – vacation everyday)
- Bicycles
- Picnic Basket and a nearby park or beach
- Try something new or go sightseeing as if you were a tourist.
- Visit the lighthouse or bell tower or marina or whatever the big structure in your area is.
- Go to a historical home or farm
- Check out a landmark
- Find a hike in a county park
- Go for a drive
- Treat yourself to a few great lunches or dinners out at restaurants you don't get to often or that you have been meaning to try.
- Also stock up with items for breakfast and snacking at home or on the go. Coffee, pastries, fruit, anything you like and that is easy to make and clean up so you feel you are really on vacation.
- Sleep in and relax over coffee or tea in the morning; drink wine with lunch; take a taxi to dinner.
- It will be more affordable.
- No packing or unpacking.
- You can keep your pets with you.
- Explore where you live
A chance to create a vacation area in your own home and backyard to enjoy anytime you want.
If you could create your perfect home vacation scenario, what would it be?
- Hot Tub.
- Sauna.
- Pool and outdoor lounge area.
- Staff to attend your every need.

Ok. Arsenal's likely top goal scorers 2009-10. Van Persie, Eduardo, Rosicky, Bendtner, Adebayor, AA, Nasri, Walcott, Wilshere, Vela and Fab.
The first six are proven double digit goal scorers, and the other five are improving attacking players capable of double digits themselves.
And Utds goals
so how come with all that goalscoring talent you finished 4th and failed to reach any finals, fantastic bunch of players then pmsl.

Seeking Refuge: Birds and Landscapes of the Pacific Flyway
ISBN13:by Wilson, Robert M.
Univ of Washington Pr
Questions About This Book?
What version or edition is this?
This is the edition with a publication date of 9/27/2010.
What is included with this book?
- The eBook copy of this book is not guaranteed to include any supplemental materials. Typically only the book itself is included.
Seeking Refuge examines the development and management of refuges in the wintering range of migratory birds along the Pacific Flyway. The Pacific Flyway is the westernmost of the four major North American bird migration routes and millions of birds travel it each year to winter and summer ranges. In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the farmlands along the flyway were irrigated using the wetlands, and as a result the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service established refuges within these radically transformed landscapes in order to sustain migratory birds. In a time when global warming promises to compound the stress on water and migratory species, this book demonstrates the need to foster landscapes where both wildlife and people can thrive.

Møller P, Mæhle L, Vabø A, Clark N, Sun P, Narod SA. Age-specific incidence rates for breast cancer in carriers of BRCA1 mutations from Norway.
Incidence rates of breast cancer among women with a BRCA1 mutation vary according to their reproductive histories and country of residence. To measure cancer incidence, it is best to follow-up cohort of healthy women prospectively. We followed up a cohort of 675 women with a BRCA1 mutation who did not have breast or ovarian cancer before inclusion and who had a normal clinical examination and mammography at first visit. After a mean of 7.1 years, 98 incident cases of breast cancer were recorded in the cohort. Annual cancer incidence rates were calculated, and based on these, a penetrance curve was constructed. The average annual cancer risk for the Norwegian women from age 25 to 70 was 2.0%. Founder mutations had lower incidence rate (1.7%) than less frequent mutations (2.5%) (p = 0.03). The peak incidence (3.1% annual risk) was observed in women from age 50 to 59. The age-specific annual incidence rates and penetrance estimate were compared with published figures for women from North America and from Poland. The risk of breast cancer to age 70 was estimated to be 61% for women from Norway, compared with 55% for women from Poland and 69% for women from North America.

BMC Team Machine SLR01/Shimano Ultegra Di2 Complete Bike - 2012 $0.00
From podiums at the brutal Spring Classics, to stage and single day race wins across North America and Europe, oh, and that grand tour victory in the summer of 2011. While less the industry's best-kept secret as it once was, the rapidly growing palmares of the BMC Team Machine SLR01 are as impressive as they are varied. There are very few frames in the professional peloton that are able to claim emphatic dominance over cobblestones and hors categorie climbs under climbers and sprinters alike, but that's the inherent beauty of the SLR01. It's the result of calculated Swiss engineering that makes this bike an absolute blast to race at every point in the season. Even better, it's being presented here with the venerable Shimano Ultegra Di2 group set.
Lightness and durability; comfort and stiffness -- when it comes to frame design, aren't they opposites? All too true. Which is why BMC had to re-evaluate its choices in materials, and entirely re-think its tube shapes and configurations. In order to give the frame dampening where desired, and flex-resistance where required, BMC applied stepped tube profiles and new carbon fiber alignments and compositions. High modulus layers of carbon are used where stiffness is desired, high-strength layers are used where loads are heaviest, and high-elasticity layers were used where compliance was needed. This lengthy project of optimizing the overall ride quality of the SLR01 came to be known as BMC's Tuned Compliance Concept (TCC).
Where does BMC's TCC work make the biggest impact on the Team Machine SLR01? It's most evident in 3 areas. First are the seatstays. Their slender profile from the brake bridge down to the dropouts is reminiscent of the design that's found on the Cervelo R3 and the Ridley Excalibur, where these stays act as leaf springs to provide vertical compliance. But, above the brake bridge the stays are stronger in order to serve as a solid foundation for vibration-free braking. The seatstays are attached low on the seat tube in order to simultaneously improve vertical compliance, to maintain lateral stiffness, and to keep unnecessary weight to a minimum.
The second area benefiting from TCC is the fork. Unlike the way in which BMC spec'd a stock Easton fork on the Pro Machine SLC01, it's designed the SLR01's fork from the ground up. The crown has a strengthened cross section that reduces vibration while increasing braking control. The added benefit is an increase in lateral stiffness, which directly translates to an improved steering precision. The lower blades of the fork are slender in order to save weight and to help with shock dampening. So, how light is it? Well, an uncut fork weighs around 315 grams with paint and decals. Impressive.
The third area benefiting from TCC is the angle-locking seatpost. It's ovalized with a shape that's wider side-to-side than it is from front-to-back. This gives you both increased lateral stiffness under power and more compliance on rough roads. The reduced cross-section near the top of the post provides a bit more 'give' to further reduce vibration. All together, with paint, decals, and hardware, it tips the scales around 230 grams.
Design details aside, does TCC deliver? For starters, the weight goal was achieved. A 55cm frame with paint, decals, bottom bracket guide, and a derailleur hanger weighs around 930 grams. And, according to BMC testing, it provides nearly 60% more vertical compliance than both the Pro Machine and the Race Master SLX01. In terms of power transmission, it has 28% more lateral stiffness than the Pro Machine, and 13% more than the Race Master. From the standpoint of steering, it also has 12% more torsional stiffness at the head tube than the Pro Machine.
Some other points of note: The Team Machine SLR01 uses external brake cable routing for all of the right reasons. Basically, it'll save you about 60 grams on cable housing, and it doesn't hurt that external cables always result in the lowest friction (i.e. crispest) brake experience. However, shift cable to the rear derailleur is routed internally in order to guarantee shifting that's free from dirt and grime. The frame is now made with the BB86 standard bottom bracket. The BB86 bottom bracket corresponds to Shimano's crank spindle and bearing specifications. The tolerances of BB86 are so precise that the sleeved bearing assemblies press directly into the bottom bracket shell with no need for threads. This design saves 30 grams over traditional, aluminum-threaded shell designs and, at the same time, provides additional bottom bracket stiffness. It should be noted that while BB86 is designed specifically for Shimano.
And speaking of Shimano, this Team Machine SLR01 is built up with its race-ready Ultegra Di2 group set. Essentially, this group provides all of the crisp, grin-inducing joy of Dura-Ace 7970 without sending the price tag into five-digit territory. Rather than build out this world-class frame with components that're anything but exceptional, you'll also get Easton's EA70 alloy handlebars and EA90 alloy stem. Both are the exact pieces relied upon by the BMC Racing Team at every stage in the season. And, just like the team, you'll be rolling on Easton's EA90 wheels, the very same hoops that propelled Cadel into the Yellow jersey at the 2011 Tour.
The BMC Team Machine SLR01/Shimano Ultegra Di2 Complete Bike - 2012 passes the strictest CEN testing for frame fatigue. It has no rider weight limit and comes with a conditional 5 year manufacturer's warranty from defect. It requires the use of a braze-on front derailleur. It is available in six sizes from 47 to 60cm and in the BMC Team Edition Black and Red colorway.

does it come with a 105 gruppo, if so how...
does it come with a 105 gruppo, if so how much would it be? if not can you custom build it with 105?
This build is the Ultegra Di-2 grouppo. For other configurations you will want to give our bike department a call to see if a 105 setup is a possibility.
SLR01 Review
Have had it now for 5 months, but starting to put some miles on it outdoors this spring. Weight,handling and fit for me (53cm) was PERFECT (I'm 5"10 w ~32" inseam). Had it fitted and I'm not sure they adjusted anything - besides seat height, it fit out of the box for me almost perfectly.
On the downside, there was a couple small scratches on the frame that I didn't catch until I examined it outside in the sun. Not quite worth the hassle of shipping it back to Backcountry though.
Love it and highly recommend BMC and the SLR01.
Great bike! I could not be happier!
I could not be happier with my Team Machine. It is light. It is stiff. And it disappears beneath me. It's an amazingly quiet bike. Great, intuitive handling. Nothing negative draws attention to itself. Be careful to check out your fit -- I took a 53cm in this bike where I usually fit a 54cm or 55cm, depending on the maker. RealCyclist does a great job pre-assembling the bike, too. I've ridden S-Works Tarmacs for years and liked them - but the Team Machine is noticeably better for me. Great bike!
Hello, Is there a possibility to get it...
Hello, Is there a possibility to get it on size 47 color white? with dura ace shifters
Thanks a lot
First Impressions
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
1. Price -- the price is the $500 lower than I've found anywhere else on the internet, no sales tax and free 2-day shipping.
2. Packing -- extremely well packed! Frame tubes were wrapped, then entire frame was zip-tied to a large sheet of cardboard before putting it all into a bike box. Best technique I've seen!
3. BMC build quality -- It seems that the state-of-the-art in carbon frame building allows manufacturers to crank out carbon frames in volume with excellent structural integrity. However, don't expect the cosmetic finish of a 1970's Colnago or Schwinn Paramount. The BMC clear coat is shiny but uneven; looks like shrink wrap unevenly applied. Not a defect, but definitely not like a first-class old fashioned paint job! My other road ride is a 2011 S-Works Roubaix -- the finish is no better (just different). Funny, but the carbon weave finish on 1990's Kestrels was better!
4. Ultegra Di2 -- I have Dura Ace Di2 on the Roubaix and, to the casual eye, there's only a cosmetic difference between the two groups -- I'd be hard-pressed to pay the extra $$$ for Dura Ace again!
5. Easton stem and carbon EA SLX bar appear comparable quality to Specialized S-Works. Easton wheelset is about 100 grams heavier than DuraAce carbon and hubs look cheap; have to see how they perform. For training they should be fine. Easton freehub definitely not as smooth as Shimano.
5. Out of the box the bike weighs 15 lbs 7 oz without pedals (50cm size).
All-in-all I'm happy with the price, shipping and initial inspection -- at $4499 it's a good buy (at $6999, not so much).
Snow and sand/salt on the roads have kept me from doing a test ride yet; maybe this weekend.

Just as it looked like things might actually be improving for Idaho schools, they could lose up to $28 million.
High schools in Idaho are connected through the Idaho Education Network (IEN). The IEN's creation was funded in 2010 by the Idaho Legislature, through a contract administered through the Department of Administration. The intention was that most of the cost of the IEN would be funded through E-rate, a federal program paid for by a small charge on everyone's phone line.
Heading up the Department of Administration at the time was Mike Gwartney, a friend of Governor C.L. "Butch" Otter's who was actually working for free as a favor to the Governor. IEN came under some criticism at the time because some schools already had Internet connectivity, and it was felt that it was duplicating efforts.
In addition, when the Department of Administration sent out the contract for the IEN, it was jointly awarded to Education Networks of America and Qwest. Another company, Syringa Networks, had originally been awarded part of the contract, but later was removed from the contract.
Syringa sued, and at first the company lost the suit, with the judge saying that it hadn't tried all of the other possible courses of action before filing suit. However, on appeal, another judge agreed with Syringa and said last year that the company did have the right to sue.
At that point, the federal government stopped paying Idaho the E-rate funds. Assuming that it was a glitch, the state government paid the schools back, figuring it would get the E-rate money from the federal government at some point. But during this year's budget hearing, the members of the Joint Finance-Appropriations Committee found out about the problem for the first time. heresa Luna – Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Luna's sister, who took over for Gwartney when he retired – told JFAC that the federal government was more than $14 million behind in its E-rate payments.
Upon asking the federal government what was up, it was learned that the problem was the lawsuit. Because of it, the federal government wasn't sure the contract was valid, and without a valid contract, it couldn't pay the E-rate money that the schools needed to pay for the IEN. And if the state government didn't pay the more than $14 million, the IEN could be shut down.
It gets worse. If the federal government decides the ENA contract was fraudulent, the state could have to pay the federal government back the E-rate money it had already paid into the IEN – more than $13 million, for a total of almost $28 million.
Even if the federal government does decide the contract is valid – and the lawsuit is still underway – the investigation could take as much as two years. That's not only two years where the state won't get the money, but up to two more years of IEN funding the state might have to pay.
Where's the money going to come from? In his budget, Governor Otter had earmarked up to $29 million for the public education budget stabilization fund, one of the "rainy day" funds that had been drawn down during the recent recession. For the moment, people are talking about paying for the IEN out of that money – but that would mean it couldn't go into savings.
Incidentally, ENA is the same company that last summer Tom Luna awarded a five-year $2 million contract to give Idaho schools wireless, even though last year's Legislature funded only $2.25 million for a single year pilot project.
It will be interesting to see how it all turns out.

Bristol City have dedicated their most recent victory to a terminally-ill lifelong fan who gave an emotional pre-match speech to the players.
Mark Saunders, 54, was invited to speak to the team before what could be his final visit to Ashton Gate due to lung cancer.
City, at risk of back-to-back relegations after falling out of the Championship in 2012/13, are out of the League One drop zone on goal difference after the 2-1 win over Gillingham.
Goals from Sam Baldock and Simon Gillett earned City a vital three points almost immediately after the players heard what Saunders had to say.
"He spoke to them for over five minutes - you could hear a pin drop," Mark's brother Bill told BBC Sport.
"Mark spoke to them about the fact he'd been a follower for 30 years and how they fought together as fans.
Mark with City manager Steve Cotterill (photo: Bill Saunders)
"But he said the players hadn't been fighting together this season and hadn't been playing as a team.
"He also said it was his dying wish to see them win three points.
"At the end, the players all stood up and clapped. He was delighted - it was a wonderful day."

— BCFC Supporters Page (@BCFC_Supporters) March 2, 2014
After the win, club manager Steve Cotterill dedicated the victory to Mark, who lives in Bedminster and was diagnosed with the disease last April.
"We were quite choked in the dressing room," Cotterill told the Bristol City website.
"He wanted to have a little chat with the players as he didn't feel as though he was going to see next Friday out, which puts football into a bit of perspective.
"He gave a little speech to the lads and it was more or less his dying wish that he wanted three points today, so what we want to do is dedicate that win today to Mark and his family.
"It was tough to listen to him, it's quite emotional just thinking about it, but hopefully we've given him a good weekend."
A City fan for over three decades, Mark previously worked in the building trade and has three children with wife Wendy.
Last week he became a grandfather for the second time.

Surprise Service Sector Growth, but Inflation Up Too; ECONOMICS
Byline: By Nevill Boyd Maunsell Economics Editor
Britain's service economy shrugged aside its mid-winter gloom with a surprise spurt of growth last month in terms of both activity and sales - but accompanied by a fresh surge of inflation in both costs and prices charged.
February's headline index of service activity published by the Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply and NTC Research rose to a reading of 54 on a scale where anything above 50 indicates expansion, the 58th month of unbroken growth.
A reading of 54 the sub-index registering incoming new business showed orders growing more strongly than at any time for five months and a marked recovery from a four-and-a-half-year low in November. There were still signs, though, of clients hesitating to commit themselves to new spending.
Cost were more daunting than ever, rising faster than at any time in this survey's 12-year history - and companies responded by raising their charges, also at a record pace.
"It is encouraging to see signs of recovery across the UK service sector after a strained period of economic uncertainty and downturn," said Roy Ayliffe, director of professional practice at the CIPS. "Particularly encouraging is the improvement in the financial intermediation and hotels and restaurants sectors, which have suffered the most in recent months. …

OK, I've downloaded it, but it appears to "way over my head", as I am no mathematician, but it is on topics very interesting to me, so I'll do my best to wade through it, though I'm not hopeful...
Interesting (very deep) mathematical analysis of societal density/distributions and changes.
It gives a lot of real world examples that might be useful to map constructed words. Much of the math is quite high level.
I found the development of city (governmental) locations interesting as it seems the same as a vonoroi development.

I think I can put the reasons for population density in any region very simply, without having to resort to a lot of maths. Food ... and the availability thereof.
The more food available in a region, the higher the population density.
If food available is greater than the population needs, population increase occurs.
If food available is less than the population needs, population decrease occurs.
People are made of food ... if the food is there, the people will be.

Fresh water, I guess is pretty important too. Sanitation (so disease doesn't catch hold) is also important. Employment was also responsible for much urbanisation.
and here I had thought all along it was directly related to the availability of deep fried hostess twinkies...

I was telling my wife a little white lie that the ceiling was done that way to avoid aliasing artifacts on the video. While it does reduce the artifacts, the big separators did much more for that purpose than just the shape.

When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. The needle or hook size called for in the pattern is based on what the designer used, but it is not unusual for gauge to vary from person to person. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make your swatch, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles. Making a Gauge Swatch

Are happy with how you look now
Post a pic if you please of your post pregnancy bod
Boy / girl twins 11.2.11
Yep, I lost all the baby weight after the fluids finally left my body. I could tell the fluids were leaving because my ankles suddenly weren't puffy anymore, and I lost all thirty extra pounds in a matter of days. That was about three weeks postpartum.
Since then I've been eating whatever I want and not gaining an ounce. I've also been exercising and not losing any additional weight though. I'm happy as far as what the pregnancy did to my body. I'm not happy with how I let my body become (before pregnancy).
Wife for 10 happy years and SAHM to Leo IV, Nov 2011, and Owen, Dec 2014.
YES! but i feel like im losing too much now ive been super stressed lately about our move.
i hate to be too skinny.
hope once we are settled i can get back to my happy weight ;)

I had by the time LO was 4 months, but then I started working and put 10 back on, I'm in the process of working it off, and would like to get down to my goal of 120... so a little over 20 pounds to go. No pictures of this mess right now.
I'm with lyleslove - I was 15lbs lighter than when I started after I had LO. But I gained it all back when I went back to work. Now that I'm home with LO my eating has been out of control. Soooo..I'm working on that and we're trying to be more active. I hate that my jeans are all too tight and uncomfortable!
Lisa, married to Hawkeye 2/25/08. Mom to Jaxson as of 11/4/11! #2 joining the crew around July 13, 2013!
No one else will ever know the strength of my love for you. After all you're the only one who knows what my heart sounds like from the inside-11/20/11

Volunteer Options
Volunteer stewardship is the cornerstone of CFI's peak preservation work. For the last several years volunteers have put in more than 1,000 days over CFI's four-month field season helping protect the Fourteeners. Volunteers perform needed trail stewardship and education work to meet CFI's preservation goals. The in-kind value of volunteer labor counts toward meeting CFI's matching requirements for many grants. Here are ways you can help.
Trail Construction and Restoration
Trail and restoration projects provide hands-on opportunities for individuals to help CFI, including building new, sustainably located summit trails, closing and revegetating unplanned trails, and performing annual maintenance on heavily used trails. Projects protect native alpine plant communities, while keeping summit trails in good shape for Fourteener hikers.
Click here to view our opportunities for volunteering on a trail maintenance project in 2016!
Hiker Education and Outreach
Volunteer "Peak Stewards"represent CFI at community outreach events and play a key role educating and monitoring the estimated 500,000 hikers who climb the Fourteeners every year. Ensuring that Fourteener hikers know about—and follow—Leave No Trace practices is vital to protecting the rare and fragile alpine tundra ecosystems found on these peaks.
Group Projects and Corporate Partnerships
Through CFI's Adopt-a-Peak program, organized groups—businesses, hiking clubs, schools, youth camps, etc.—commit to help maintain a Fourteener by providing at least 20 person-days of volunteer labor annually. Projects include regular maintenance on the peak's standard route, repairing trail structures that have deteriorated, and revegetating denuded areas.


text: There is some controversy about why multi-rater feedback is effective. Goodge and Burr (1999) suggest that when ratings come from a trustworthy source, critical evaluations make the person feel uncomfortable and motivated to change. Others stress the role of self-awareness-it is only when we can see our weaknesses that we can do something about them. However, Baldry and Fletcher (2000a) found that managers were much more aware of their overall performance than of specific strengths and weaknesses. Perhaps, however, it is not so much the multi-rater feedback process itself which matters, as what happens afterwards. Edwards (2000), writing from a practitioner perspective, stresses the importance of the self-managed development activities that follow. In that case, all the multi-rater feedback does is to give good information about what is needed. The real development occurs when the manager plans to do something about it, actually learns what is needed, and then transfers it to the job. This is only possible if there is a supportive organizational framework. Unsurprisingly, but perhaps significantly, Bass, Avolio and Atwater (1996) found that managers who attended a leadership training programme after multi-rater feedback only showed improvements on the dimensions they had chosen to work on. Feedback is of no value if you don't act on it, or more importantly, if there is no opportunity to act on it. It could be argued that, in the end, what really improves performance is an environment that provides good training and development support.

I have a concret porch that was added to my home. It is "L" shaped, 42 feet up one side of the house and 17 feet halfway up the other side. The slab was not "tied" to the house slab. Now it shifts. Is there any way to stablize it cheaply? I thought about digging a trench most of the way around the house about a foot deep and a foot wide, then driving 8 ft steel posts into it. Wrapping cable from post to post, then filling the whole thing with concrete. BUT, I have waterlines, sewer lines, phone lines, and on and on and on.

Demonblood Sword from Adventure Time by folderolWatch
©2013-2016 folderol
We were commissioned to make the Demonblood Sword for a customer on Etsy! This one was a lot of fun to make (and I learned a new knotting technique too for the hilt's wrapping, which is great!).
Check it out here: [link]
Check it out here: [link]
Now to make the "Finn Sword" shown in the most recent 2-3 episodes.
Already made, actually!
if you were to, say, make another, how much would you sell it for?
i really want one
Heh, thanks!
I LOVE IT. I don't watch Adventure Time, and I must admit I was a little disappointed to hear that this wasn't an original idea by you, but I LOVE IT.
Awesome job!
Geez. This sword looks like that stupid wand Skeith carries around in that game .Hack//Infection. Damn thing gives me the chills just thinking about it...
I looked it up and you're totally right! I wonder if that's where Adventure Time got the idea.
Is this made from actual demonblood? If so, what demon did you get it from? These are things we need to know.
Demon: "JOSHUA RETURN MY BLOOD TO ME OR BY DEMON'S LAW I WILL CUT OF YOUR LOVE HANDLES!!! JOSHUA WE GO WAY BACK COME-"
Joshua: "gliekgahramapancake"
Sorry, I had to.

The peaceful Kurdish takeover of several towns in north and northeast Syria, following the partial withdrawal of the Syrian army and administration in July, has aroused Kurdish hopes and Turkish fears. Many Syrian Kurds welcome their community's de facto autonomy, while Ankara is alarmed by what it sees as the rise of an independent Kurdish entity controlled by Turkey's militant, secessionist Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).

Taylor v. Louisiana
Annotate this Case
- Syllabus
- Case
U.S. Supreme Court
Taylor v. Louisiana, 419 U.S. 522 (1975)
Taylor v. Louisiana
No. 73-5744
Argued October 16, 1974
Decided January 21, 1975
Appellant, a male, was convicted of a crime by a petit jury selected from a venire on which there were no women and which was selected pursuant to a system resulting from Louisiana constitutional and statutory requirements that a woman should not be selected for jury service unless she had previously filed a written declaration of her desire to be subject to jury service. The State Supreme Court affirmed, having rejected appellant's challenge to the constitutionality of the state jury selection scheme.
1. Appellant had standing to make his constitutional claim, there being no rule that such a claim may be asserted only by defendants who are members of the group excluded from jury service. Peters v. Kiff, 407 U. S. 493. P. 419 U. S. 526.
2. The requirement that a petit jury be selected from a representative cross-section of the community, which is fundamental to the jury trial guaranteed by the Sixth Amendment, is violated by the systematic exclusion of women from jury panels, which in the judicial district here involved amounted to 53% of the citizens eligible for jury service. Pp. 419 U. S. 526-533.
3. No adequate justification was shown here for the challenged jury selection provisions and the right to a jury selected from a fair cross-section of the community cannot be overcome on merely rational grounds. Pp. 419 U. S. 533-535.
4. It can no longer be held that women as a class may be excluded from jury service or given automatic exemptions based solely on sex if the consequence is that criminal jury venires are almost all male, and contrary implications of prior cases, e.g., Hoyt v. Florida, 368 U. S. 57, cannot be followed. Pp. 419 U. S. 535-537.
282 So.2d 491, reversed and remanded.
WHITE, J., delivered the opinion of the Court, in which DOUGLAS, BRENNAN, STEWART, MARSHALL, BLACKMUN, and POWELL, JJ., joined. BURGER, C.J., concurred in the result. REHNQUIST, J., filed a dissenting opinion, post, p. 419 U. S. 538.

The first track from the adventurous R&B singer's new album (which was produced by TV on the Radio's Dave Sitek) is a diagonal banger with a fired-up Afro-funk groove and a gliding vocal about the power of music. After the Euro-trounce of her last LP, it feels like a rebirth.

• Because of the risk of serious pneumococcal infections in patients receiving a renal transplant, a study was undertaken to determine if pneumococcal vaccine could be administered before or after transplantation. Vaccine was given to recipients of transplants and to patients who were undergoing dialysis. Both groups responded to the vaccine, and although the mean antibody levels were lower than those reported for normal populations, the levels were in the range thought to be protective for most pneumococcal types. Antibody levels, both before and after vaccination, were substantially lower in patients with recent transplants than in patients who were undergoing hemodialysis. Patients who are awaiting renal transplantation can be immunized while they are undergoing hemodialysis. Further study is needed to determine how long antibody levels will persist after vaccination in both patients undergoing hemodialysis and those receiving a transplant.
