A diet high in fruit and grains and low in coffee, alcohol and red meat could boost a man's fertility during IVF treatment, scientists say.
The study found that a poor diet and obesity can lower sperm concentration and impair their swimming stamina, lowering their chances of fertilising the egg.
Researchers studied 250 men undergoing fertility treatment with their partners, and discovered that those who regularly drank alcohol and ate poorly were less likely to conceive.
Lead researcher Edson Borges, from the Fertility-Assisted Fertilization Center in Sao Paolo said: "The sperm concentration was negatively influenced by body mass index (BMI) and alcohol consumption, and was positively influenced by cereal consumption and the number of meals per day."
The Brazilian study looked at men undergoing a particular type of fertility treatment called intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).
Participants were asked to say how often they ate a range of foods, including fruits and vegetables, beans, grains, meat and fish, as well as how much they drank and smoked.
Semen samples were then analysed to assess sperm health and concentration and each couple were monitored during the IVF process
From the speed of their sperm to their partner's chance of pregnancy, men who drank and had a poor diet were less fertile.
"We talk about having a healthy lifestyle and trying to eliminate any of these things that are bad for health, but I think most of the emphasis tends to be on making sure the woman is as healthy as possible," said Dr. Lynn Westphal, a women's health and fertility specialist at Stanford University Medical Center in Palo Alto, California.
Another recent study found that junk food can render an otherwise healthy man infertile.
Trying to conceive? Boost your chances with these these fertility-boosting diet tips.
Although there is no direct link between refined carbohydrates and infertility, the refining process strips grains of some of the most important fertility-boosting nutrients, such as antioxidants, B vitamins and iron.
Modern methods of food production, involving intensive farming, rob the soil of vital nutrients, so where possible stick to organic produce. Processed foods are packed with additives and preservatives that can upset blood sugar levels and disrupt the body's hormonal balance.
Too much red meat increases the amount of ammonia in the body, which can interfere with the implantation of the egg in the uterus. Red meat can also be detrimental for men as it increases acidity and affects sperm activity; sperm perform better in alkaline conditions.
The animal hormones in dairy products can affect your own hormonal balance. If you balk at the richness of soya milk and can't bear to give up your semi-skimmed, switch to organic dairy products instead as these contain lower levels of hormones.
Giving up alcohol is not strictly necessary until you fall pregnant but it might be worth bearing in mind that Danish research, studying the link between alcohol consumption and fertility, found that alcohol intake had a significant effect on infertility success among women above the age of 30 who drank seven or more drinks a week.
While you don't need to give up your morning coffee, caffeine does constrict the blood vessels, slowing blood flow to the uterus and potentially making it harder for an egg to grab hold. So, if you're having any trouble conceiving, or undergoing IVF treatment, you might want to go easy on the double espressos.
Aside from being packed with vitamins and minerals, fruit and vegetables are packed with antioxidants that attack free-radicals (harmful molecules that can damage the ova, sperm and reproductive organs).
Zinc helps to maintain a healthy menstrual cycle as well as being vital during pregnancy to aid cell division in a developing foetus. Folic acid (Vitamin B6), together with zinc, is essential in the function of female sex hormones. Vitamin B12 is also very important as it maximises the absorption of folic acid. Taking a multi-vitamin tablet designed especially for conception is a good way to ensure you're getting enough of these valuable nutrients. Marmite is also a great source!

Left/Right Alliances
When I was on The Sunday Show on KPFA-FM in Berkeley this afternoon, there was some discussion about potential Left-Right alliances in relation to the national conversation about gun control. People who are thinking about that will want to check out a 2006 article by Abby Scher discussing lessons learned from organizing against The Patriot Act.

Once upon a time, I had a blog. And then a group blog. And I participated on other group blogs. And then there was social media, and I did some of that too. Oh God, thy cyberspace is so big and my blog is so small.

Jenky Wins the Coughie
Congratulations to Bishop Daniel Jenky of Peoria, Illinois — Winner of the 2012 Father Charles Coughlin Award.
On the Radio
I'll be appearing on The Sunday Show, a weekly public affairs show on KPFA 94.1 FM in Berkley, CA this Sunday, December 30th. Noon to 1:00pm (EST) 9:00 to 10:00am left coast time. I'll be joining host Phillip Maldari and fellow guest Kevin Alexander Gray to talk about what happened in the year that was, and what can we expect in the year to come? The show is live-streamed as well as broadcast, and podcasts are available.
Huckabee Strikes Again
I wrote about Huck's latest claim — that the reason for the Newtown massacre is that God does not like the so called contraception mandate, that contraception must be covered in employee health insurance packages — at Daily Kos and at Talk to Action which has been down a lot lately due to technical difficulties. If you encounter said difficulties, please be patient.

My article in Spare Change News
Its always interesting to write for a publication for the first time. When my friend Osagyefo Sekou became the Editor in Chief of the Boston version of the monthly newspaper Spare Change News, he asked me to write about the results of the marriage equality referenda in four states, and how some things have changed in the political and religious communities.
I had always admired Spare Change News. It is one of a number of similar newspapers across the country intended to provide a dignified way for homeless people to earn income without panhandling, and keep issues of homelessness before the reading public. Vendors keep a share of the cover price. The papers cover a variety of subjects — including issues of homelessness — making it a good read on the bus or the subway. At a time when newspapers are going out of business, Spare Change News is still out there.
Its time to update
This blog has been on a hiatus for quite awhile. When I began, I used to blog just about every day. I intend to return to the daily blog, and expand the range of things I write about. I will still be posting at Talk to Action, and elsewhere. And I will either crosspost here, or at least post a link to new things. I particularly like the post I did yesterday, Hallelujah, Mike Huckabee, Hallelujah.
If you are visiting for the first time…
Posting here at FrederickClarkson.com has been episodic for a long time. But one of my New Years Resolutions will be to post more frequently. Its a good discipline, but the truth is, when I get in the groove, I like it. The discipline part is secondary.
But if I am not around, I can usually be found having said something over at Talk to Action — most recently a Christmas eve rumination about the anti-Semitic roots of claims that there is a "war on Christmas" and how that bastion of evilly secular liberal media — public radio — has a little remarked upon but remarkable quarter century Christmas broadcast tradition, which in turn has roots in the early days of broadcasting.

Just to close off this thread.
You can jack up the car from the front crossmember and then place the axle/body stands on the front jacking points with rubber pucks/adaptors. It is not recommended to jack up from the lower A arm as it can distort them and subsequently throw out the handling.
Also, Stands can be placed under the front longitudal support beams on the floor, with suitable protection.
You can jack up the car from the base of the transaxle, however again suitable protection for the transaxle case should be in place. DO NOT hold the car up from this point for any great length of time. Only use it to get the car up.
Once up, the torsion bar end plate stubs can be used to place the axle/body stands on to support the car. The rear jacking points can also be used with suitable adaptors/puck.
After much research and help from you guys, I am now happy about doing this.

First off, I'm gonna preface this post by saying I don't have any clue about building wheels...
I recently swapped my BionX PL350 from a folder (20") to a full-size bike (700c). I had to get a custom made wheel at my LBS, a guy who runs his own fairly large shop and does all the work himself.
Because of an unrelated issue with the auto-assist (referenced in a previous thread), I had to seek out a BionX dealer who could help me out. After finishing the work, they mentioned that they felt the wheel was unsafe to ride on. If I remember correctly, they said there was too much lateral movement like when cornering? They said to bring it back to my LBS and tell him to build it 2 cross instead of 3 cross. They also gave me an OEM wheel to show him.
So I tried to be sensitive about it and told him that they mentioned 2 cross for safety reasons and that I had a sample wheel for him to check out. He said that he didn't need to see it and that he built it for strength. The tension just needed to be adjusted.
I took it out on my first ride to work yesterday (20mi round trip). Maybe I'm just overly sensitive now, but it does seem to be a little wobbly when going over bumps at high speed. But I'm wondering if that's because my tire pressure was a little low (which it was). Or maybe that should be expected because of the weight of the wheel and the speed I'm traveling at (averaged around 15-18, topped out around 25)? And I don't think I can compare it to my folder because that was more of an unsteady ride, in general.
Higher res here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/5040478...7624110088116/
Besides the cross pattern, I noticed the OEM wheel uses a noticeably heavier gauge of spokes. Also, on the left side of the hub the spokes are all connected on the outside of the flange; on the right side they're all connected to the inside of the flange. Hope I'm saying that correctly.
Your thoughts are appreciated!

Everyone is here except for me
And I can feel the world is watching
Who is on their own I wonder
And who has cast this spell I'm under
I want you with me
I want you with me
Look into your heart are you happy
You could be the one to set me free
And with your hand in mine we will walk
To a place that knows no one
I want you with me
I want you with me
I want you with me
I wont forget the things you said
That's dancing and singing inside my head
You've always known your not alone
I want you with me
I want you with me
I want you with me
I want you with me

Starcraft User Reviews
StarcraftThe good:
Dozens of units, fun gameplay, many people online.The bad:
Units don't move when you want to build somewhere, not too many triggers for Map making, hackers able to cheat in Multiplayer.Summary:
If you want a good RTS game thats so good, you'll be amazed to find out it's in your budget of 10 bucks or less? Look no further, Starcraft is here to help you out. Only 10 dollars brand new or even less(20 for its expansion with it), you won't regret it. Great Cinematics, awesome gameplay, and regardless of it's release in 1998, many people still play the game. About time Starcraft 2 is coming out.
There's three races to play as, Terrans(Humans), Zerg(Aliens), and Protoss(Advanced Aliens), which you can take part of a race in their story. Which unfolds as you continue on. In the Terran side...
starcartThe good:
i think that it is cool because i like to be in the game and this game is in the game type of sh!t.The bad:
i think that there are not enough types of upgrades and they take to long for you to be able to going up a level.Summary:
i purchased this item a few years ago and still enjoy playing it in my spare time.
in my opinion the marines and the zerg and the protoss are pretty equal even though the protosses plasma cannon not only can take out air but land enimies. there alot more upgrades in the expansion pack and even thought i do not own it i still have played it and will be purchasing it soon.
now this whole 700 some charactor thing is not cool i think that if you do not want to leave that big of a review then you should not have to. on the other hand this is a pretty damn good constructed web site. it is number o...
So like... wtf dewd?The good:
I played it for like, 69 mins and was all like, woah this is nifty! then I got haxored by this person who made himself look like a bug or sumthings. ya he sucks. then a chick came on and gave me her msn and i added her to talk and to see her on cam and while i was i got killed again becuz it turned out it was a guy and ya he sucked and was gay. but for good, the game came in a new wrapper and smellted niceThe bad:
ok so like haxors galore and like when i click on s#!7 or something it goes all like over and then my mans run over there and im like no i wanted you to stay beotches and it bugged me. and then there was a nuke but it blowed up my base because that little jerk of a red dot lied and shot my base in the faceSummary:
so i played and another haxor came and was like a ywlloe robot and he made me mad bcuz i hated cheaters and when i am a man and an army and i get bugs and robots coming after me i feel insecure becus its like all my dreams and even tho my mom says that dreams dont mean real stuff when i see it in my games that i am playing alone in the dark in my basement i feel skared and icky so i have nice showers. but the game scared me because that one guy in the car or sumthign said shit when i cliked on him too much i think. and the silo missle blew me up again just now. i dont like the red dot at ...
Starcraft - A Must Have for All RTS Gamers!The good:
- Great Storyline
- Alright Graphics for Being 2D
- Superb Gameplay
- Awesome Map Editor
- Battle.Net Is FREE and Doesn't Lag
- Thousands of Players Online All Day
- Melee...Well...It Sucks
- Use Map Settings is Dominant
Starcraft is a great RTS game with no heroes (unlike WC) which is bad, but counters it with superb gameplay. Much like WarCraft, Starcraft relies you to mine Minerals, the main resource, and mine vespene gas for advanced units such as the Protoss Dragoon, the Zerg Hydralisk or the Terran Firebat. Certain combos are usually required for victory and massing one unit will usually (USUALLY) end in defeat if not supported by some kind of air or caster.
Melee gets boring after awhile and you will usually find yourself crawling to Use Map Settings. The games in UMS are very addicting and you will f...
StarcraftThe good:
Everthing, perfection in every way.This game is hours of outter space fun.The bad:
Nothing really but "hack" on battle net.
Everthing, perfection in every way.This game is hours of outter space fun.
In Starcraft you get three races.
1. Terran : These guys are human in colonies in space.
2. Zerg : The Zerg are firce aliens that destroy everthing there path.
3. Protoss : These guys are advance aliens.
The story for the Terran is the Zerg destroying the Terran and you don't like that or how confeders so you revolt.
The story for Zerg is you must destory the Protoss and the Terran because you evil alien.
The story for the Protoss is you might defenfer your
home for the Zerg.
This game never ends after...
commander.... go to the fart nebulaThe good:
great graphics for the time period this game was made in. great sound too. i love how it\'s so addictive. but beware; the games hard to beat. it's also VERY bloody which is a good thing. oh, and custumizable maps.The bad:
nuthin' much....Summary:
starcraft takes place supposedly in the future where hostile aliens threaten humanity. or vice-versa. but likewise, you can be alien or human so it doesn\'t matter.
to be more detailed, you can be protoss, zerg or terran. terran are human. protoss, smart aliens. zerg, twisted, evil, barbarien aliens. basica;;y, whichever race you want to be, you must defeat the other races and achieve vioctory. if you didn\'t, well, join the club. that\'s the BIG O, or the object of the game. fly across blazing hot seas of lava, or fight hand-to-hand on the front. whatever you do, just win. for god\'s sake,...

What an AMAZING show! J. Geils never EVER disappoints. We just saw them on 12/31/09 at Mohegan Sun and they were awesome there, too! Great show. I was sad that the sound for J. Geils was no where near what it was for Aerosmith - they were treated more like an opening act than as a co-headliner. They should have gotten more respect from the sound people.
Speaking of respect - WHY do people goto concerts to socialize with friends? I had a really hard time hearing J. Geils because of the people talking all around me. There was a VERY loud chick right behind me - (14-111 row CC) that did not SHUT UP for the whole J. Geils set. She wasn't alone though. I paid a lot of money to hear J. Geils and all I heard were the morons around me. I think if J. Geils was louder people would have given them the respect that they deserved.
I was extremely surprised by Aerosmith's performance. I saw them last about 5 years ago and thought they were pretty done. That said, they blew me out of the water last night! What a GREAT Aerosmith show!
The only thing that disappointed me last night were the people at the show - the music ROCKED. Venues should think twice about giving free tickets away because those are the people that ruin the show for everyone who REALLY want to be there.

"Decatur, Texas" Decatur by sswagner
Decatur Travel Guide: 4 reviews and 10 photos
Decatur is the seat of Wise County. This can be found to the northwest of Fort Worth. As with so many Texas towns, it has a square with the courthouse in the center, and is flanked by shops and eateries. It makes a nice daytrip if one has time. Fans of architecture and history will find some interesting sites in town.
- Pros:Easy drive from Fort Worth
- Cons:Not too many
- In a nutshell:A good example of a Texas town

Milkshake makeover
Wine, spirits add a little grown-up flair to the popular summer beverage
Summertime. Ice cream. The two just seem to go together, don't they? n When you're ready to go beyond the sugar cone, a fancy milkshake made with spirits or sparkling wine makes a great, grown-up treat that's easy to make and fun to serve. You don't need any special skills; just a blender and a few inventive recipes to get you started. n Milkshakes, like margaritas, are party animals. Pass around a tray of Bananas Foster Milkshakes, or frosty glasses of Frozen Mexican Hot Chocolate for dessert at your next pool party and watch the grins start to appear. If you're tired of the same old Champagne mimosas at brunch, whip up a batch of Summer Berry Prosecco Slushies instead. They're frothy and gorgeous — and cool, juicy, perfection whether you're serving two or 20.
Feeling nostalgic? A Bourbon Vanilla Malt blended for two will make date night special.
Start with vanilla
When I was growing up, my mother taught me the most intensely flavored milkshakes always start with good vanilla ice cream. With its delicate, floral fragrance and flavor, vanilla ice cream showcases the smoky, caramelized flavors of dark rum and bourbon, the tropical sweetness of banana, and the nuanced richness of homemade caramel sauce best.
Try sorbet
Unlike ice cream — which is made with a custard base of milk, cream, eggs and sugar — a true sorbet is dairy-and-egg free, and made with a base of simple sugar syrup and fruit purées or juices or other strong flavors like cocoa powder or chocolate. Milkshakes made with sorbets are intensely flavored and less rich than ice cream-based shakes. Use almond milk and sorbet for a vegan milkshake.
No ice cream needed
When you want a frozen drink that is lighter and more refreshing than a milkshake, try a slushie made with frozen fruit instead of sorbet or ice cream. Freshly squeezed orange juice, lemonade, or sparkling wine make a lovely base for a fruit slushie; add frozen fruit and blend for a thick, refreshing drink.
Try a frozen sangria made with chilled red wine, blood orange juice, a dash of simple syrup and frozen peaches and nectarines to thicken. Champagne or prosecco blended with frozen berries makes a simple dessert or festive brunch cocktail.
Unleash your inner mixologist and add a splash of Grand Marnier or the French liqueur St. Germain (distilled from elderflowers) for added complexity of flavor.
Bourbon Vanilla Malt
Toasty malt plus sweet, floral vanilla and a dash of smoky bourbon combine to make one easy-sipping grown-up milkshake.
Serves 2
¼ cup malted milk powder
¼ cup whole milk
¼ cup bourbon
¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 to 1 1/2 pints vanilla bean ice cream
To serve: whipped cream and ¼ cup coarsely chopped malted milk balls
In a blender, combine the malted milk powder, milk, bourbon and vanilla. Blend until smooth. Scoop one pint of the ice cream into the blender and, using small pulses, purée until the mixture is thick and smooth. Do not over-blend, or your milkshake will be too thin. If a thicker shake is desired, add an additional ½ pint of ice cream and blend just until smooth.
Divide the milkshake between two chilled 8-ounce glasses. Top with whipped cream and sprinkle with chopped malted milk balls. Serve immediately.
Summer Berry and Prosecco Slushie
Prosecco is a sparkling wine from Italy, and I love it in this frothy, juicy libation, but any sparkling California wine or Spanish cava will work as well. St. Germain is a French liqueur made from elderflowers, and it adds just the right note of floral sweetness to this drink.

We recently proposed a new algorithm to perform acoustic model adaptation to noisy environments called Linear Spline Interpolation (LSI). In this method, the nonlinear relationship between clean and noisy speech features is modeled using linear spline regression. Linear spline parameters that minimize the error the between the predicted noisy features and the actual noisy features are learned from training data. A variance associated with each spline segment captures the uncertainty in the assumed model. In this work, we extend the LSI algorithm in two ways. First, the adaptation scheme is extended to compensate for the presence of linear channel distortion. Second, we show how the noise and channel parameters can be updated during decoding in an unsupervised manner within the LSI framework. Using LSI, we obtain an average relative improvement in word error rate of 10.8% over VTS adaptation on the Aurora 2 task with improvements of 15-18% at SNRs between 10 and 15 dB.

PARACHINAR, Pakistan (AP) — Pakistani officials say a suspected U.S. drone fired missiles at a vehicle in northwest Pakistan near the Afghan border, killing two suspected militants.
Local government official Noor Alam says Monday's attack occurred in Khar Dand, part of the Kurram tribal area.
Drone attacks are very rare in Kurram, an area where many Taliban militants and their allies have fled Pakistani army operations.
Two Pakistani intelligence officials confirmed the attack in Kurram and the death of the two suspected militants.
They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media.

Not every house has a beautiful mantle decorated for Christmas. sshhhh….I know right? They seem to be everywhere and everyone seems to have one, but our house is very lacking in the mantle department. I almost convinced the husband to help me build a faux fireplace just so I could have the mantle. But luckily for him, I came to my senses when I realized we don't have a spot one would work in and took to decorating our stair area instead.
I love what Home Depot's Director of Trends and Design, Sarah Fishburne says, "Find the designer within and deck more than just the halls. Start with the front door and go from room to room, adding a wreath here and some garland there." And that's exactly what I did! Home Depot's Style Guide is full of great advice and ideas for decorating your home. Download the latest Style Guide to enter your best Holiday Décor for the chance to win $1,000 GC to The Home Depot.
We've lived here for a little over a year, and this entire section of house has been left empty. I knew I wanted to do something fun on the half wall, and knew the large frame and print would add a little excitement to this area.
I used window moulding, Rustoleum Satin spray paint in red, 2′ x 4′ hard board (masonite), and a staple gun to make make the framed art on the half wall. The black and white print is made using Rhonna Designs Insta-Christmas font and was printed as a blue print.
I can't get over the richness of this black and love it paired with the red and bright white. That may just be my new Christmas color combination. Rhonna Farrer
The garland is Martha Stewart Living Winterberry 6 ft. Red Poinsettia Garland with Red Berries and Pinecones. The poinsettias were a little much, so I took them out, and love the texture the berries and pinecones add. The plan was to put Clear Garland Lights with the garland, but we don't have an outlet anywhere in the vicinity to plug them in to so they were nixed. We have a whole slew of 3M Commands strips and hangers hanging everything up. You can't beat them for easy of hanging and taking down.
To make the J and Y I spent a while scrolling through my fonts looking for letters that I liked, but that would be doable to cut with a jigsaw. No tight curly-cues allowed! I printed them out, taped them together, and traced on the board. Then my husband wielded the jigsaw and cut them out for me. After a quick sanding I glued pieces of 2″x4″ onto the back to give them a little dimension. And I braved the cold to give them a quick spray of red.
The wreath was made by simply hot gluing coffee filters onto a wreath form. A Command hook is holding the wreath and the letters have Command strips keeping them up.
Our stockings are now hung over the stairs with care!

Very Clever! I love it….I don't have a mantle either….Last year I hung up a long board and hung my stockings from it
Jannan Says: December 14, 2012 at 11:22 am
So cute! I'm curious how you hang everything up with the 3M strips without the tabs showing. I love using them but on a lot of things if I use them the tabs show and if I hide the tabs, then I can't get to them to pull them off at the end of the season. Any suggestions?
Patrice H. Says: December 14, 2012 at 11:35 am
Great idea!! We do not have a mantle and have been wrecking my brain as to how to hang stockings this year! Last year we used the staircase and this year we just used the bar to hang them. If I have time this year, I will try this if not look out next year:) Thanks for the tips!

A major in the 132nd Regiment of the Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, Frederick L. Hitchcock was mustered in as an adjutant of the unit only to find himself in control of a large body of troops with hardly any experience in command. Winning its baptism by fire at Antietam and participating in the action at Fredericksburg, where Hitchcock received two wounds, the regiment went on to fight its final battle at Chancellorsville. After publishing his account of battlefield experiences as installments in a local paper, Hitchcock compiled the articles into a book, War from the Inside, from which this selection is taken.
General Burnside was relieved from command of the army on the 26th of January 1863, and was succeeded by Major-General Joseph Hooker. "Fighting Joe," as familiarly called, was justly popular with the army, nevertheless there was general regret at the retirement of Burnside, notwithstanding his ill success.
That there was more than the "fates" against him was felt by many and whether under existing conditions "Fighting Joe" or any one else was likely to achieve any better success was a serious question. However, all felt that the new commander had lots of fight in him, and the old Army of the Potomac was never known to "go back" on such a man. His advent as commander was signalized by a modest order announcing the fact, and matters moved on without a ripple upon the surface. Routine work, drills, and picket duty occupied all our time. Some of our men were required to go on picket duty every other day so many were off duty from sickness and other causes. Twenty-four hours on picket duty, with only twenty-four hours off between, was certainly very severe duty, yet the men did it without a murmur. When it is understood that this duty required being that whole time out in the most trying weather, usually either rain, sleet, slush, or mud, and constantly awake and alert against

Why is my washer making a scraping noise when it agitates?
Washer was working great until we moved, and now ever since then it makes that noise when it is in the agitates? We did not lay it on it's side, we used a dolly to move it to it's new location. I really need the help to fix! Everything else runs fine spins great and filled fine, just happens when it washes the clothes.
Is this a good question?
had sears repair over today on same problem. ordered belt, cap and bearing going to run $200 to fix. its a maytag thats 8 yrs old and only used 2x per week so motor has a lot of life in it. i'm getting it fixed by sears.
priced new washers today on line and at Home Depot. with tax and delivery/set up running $400. a fix is a bargain. btw i called maytag and they wanted $400 to replace belt.

A High-Tech Spin on Organizational Learning
Angehrn, Albert A., Manzoni, Jean Francois, Chief Executive (U.S.)
Ever wanted to test-drive an idea without risk before implementing it in your company? The exercise can tell you a lot-like how resistant your organization is to change, and how well your management team leads change. Most companies are surprised by what they learn.
In fact, a company's ability to change is a make-or-break proposition in today's competitive marketplace. Performance-improvement initiatives such as re-engineering, TQM, business-process redesign, and others require substantial organizational change because they reconstruct the power and influence of an organization, not only modifying how people work and communicate, but how performance is measured and rewarded. In the end, these initiatives can generate better performance from employees and allow a company to gain competitive advantage. Forcing and leading change is the most difficult challenge.
Recently developed technologies can be used to improve the efficiency and quality of management development, allowing senior managers to learn how they lead change and to alter their management skills accordingly.
MULTIMEDIA SIMULATIONS: THE EIS CASE Business simulation software is one multimedia technology that allows the user to test the effectiveness of different management strategies or tactics in a risk-free environment, similar to flight simulators used by pilots. Working at computer terminals, users are immersed in realistic business situations that require specific decisions. The consequences of their decisions are then fed back on the computer screen. In a few hours, users have learned by doing in a controlled environment, without experiencing the risks of actual decision making. The user might test pricing, budget allocation, or scheduling decisions and know the consequences of those decisions immediately. No harm done if the decisions made were disastrous.
INSEAD's Centre for Advanced Learning Technologies has developed one such multimedia business software, the Executive Information System simulation (EIS). Here's how it works: Users (managers) are asked to introduce a communication innovation (known as the EIS) into a division of a fictitious company, EuroComm. Users have up to six months of simulated time to convince as many as possible of the 24 divisional managers to adopt the new EIS. This system would make information and communication flows within EuroComm more efficient-but would require changing the status quo.
Through the multimedia components of sound and visuals (which make the experience more real), the program enables users to "discover" the company by helping them identify formal and informal communication networks; develop and implement change strategies; and influence EuroComm's managers to change their attitudes. All of EuroComm's 24 managers the users must "work with" have been programmed with backgrounds and personalities, and they each react differently to the initiatives proposed.
For example, one manager might try to avoid meeting the user, another might need convincing, but has the potential to be a champion of the change process. To navigate through EuroComm, the user must first get to know the characters (who is who? who is likely to resist? who is having lunch with whom? who is most likely to be a gatekeeper?). Screens such as the one pictured in Figure 1 allow the user to access information about the company and to decide at any time to implement change management tactics. As every initiative requires a certain amount of time, the challenge is to use the right tactic at the right time with the right people to have the largest number of adopters after six months' simulated time.
In real time, the simulation takes about three hours. After the simulation, participants can review the change-implementation process, share their successes and failures, and link their simulated experiences with actual change processes within their company, gaining insights into how to improve their effectiveness as change agents. …

3 face trial in $1 million jewelry theft
Three suspected gang members accused of stealing more than $1 million in diamonds and watches from Orange County jewelers face trial this week on charges that have already sent some of their co-defendants to prison.
Prosecutors say Aida Arroyo, 29, Michael Burgin, 32, and Adam Weick, 30, robbed two jewelry stores at gunpoint in August 2009 to benefit a San Diego street gang. Eight other co-defendants have already been convicted in the case, with sentences ranging from probation to 25 years to life in state prison.
The suspects first hit Tustin Village Jewelers, according to an account from the Orange County District Attorney's Office. Arroyo was buzzed through the store's security gates under the pretense of selling a ring; Burgin and Weick rushed in when she was buzzed back out, according to the DA's account.
One of the men held a gun to the store owner's head and demanded he open the safe, prosecutors said. The robbers than duct-taped the owner, put him in a bathroom, and fled with more than $160,000 in jewelry, prosecutors said.
A few weeks later, Burgin went to Baca Jewelers in Laguna Beach with two of the other co-defendant, Alonso Jose Lopez, 33, and Pedro Avina Hernandez, 31, prosecutors said. They held a store employee at gunpoint and escaped with more than $1 million in watches and jewelry, prosecutors said.
Arroyo, Burgin and Weick have each pleaded not guilty to charges of second-degree robbery, second-degree commercial burglary and street terrorism, court records show. They also face sentencing enhancements for criminal street gang activity and the vicarious use of a firearm by a gang member.
Burgin has two prior strike convictions for first-degree burglaries in 1999 and 2002, according to the District Attorney's Office. Weick has a prior strike conviction for kidnapping in 2005.
Their trial was scheduled to begin with opening statements on Wednesday.
The other co-defendants – Lopez, Hernandez, Salvador Barajas, 31, Sylvia Elena Castaneda, 30, Daisy Oregon, 23, and Arturo Carlos Perez, 23 – have been convicted of crimes that range from second-degree robbery and street terrorism to receiving stolen property, according to court records and the District Attorney's Office.
Two other co-defendants, Touradj Barman, 68, and Jose Jesus Garcia, 37, pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges that they were pawnbrokers who failed to report receipt of property, court records show.

The Week We Searched For- November 5, 2010
Posted on Friday, November 5th, 2010 by Camille Canon Print This Post
Categories - Featured, News
Google Instant for Mobile
Google launched a beta version of its Google Instant feature this week for mobile phones running on Android 2.2 and Apple iOS 4.0. Wondering what exactly instant search will look like on a mobile phone? For clarification, Google offers the following example: "If you type anse, you should see ansel adams along with other predictions. Results for the first prediction appear automatically, and tapping on the other predictions will display those results. Pressing the enter key or the search button skips the predictions and will display results for exactly what you've typed."
The reviews of the new service have been a bit mixed with many citing that the mobile service is not yet up to par with Google's desktop-based instant search. If you have been using Google Instant on your smartphone, let us know your early impressions.
The War Rages: Facebook vs. Google
Google made a small change to its Terms of Service this week that could have a big impact on Facebook. According to Google's new Terms of Service, any service that uses Google's Contact API will have to offer reciprocity. At the moment, Facebook does not, which could complicate their Open Graph ambitions. It means that Facebook users will no longer be able to upload their contacts from their Google accounts, or at least until Facebook and Google reach some sort of resolution. For a more in-depth explanation of what these changes will mean to Facebook, as well as Twitter and others, check out Jason Kincaid's article on TechCrunch.
Are Location Services Overhyped?
A new report from the Pew Research Center's Internet & Life project reveals that a small minority of web users is plugged into location-based services. In fact only 4% of internet users use location-based services like Foursquare or Gowalla. What's even more interesting about their findings is that only 1% of web users report 'checking in' using their mobile phones on any given day.
Google and VivaKI Extend Partnership
Google and VivaKi, a digital agency, announced this week their plans to extend their partnership from 2008 for another two years. As part of the contract renewal, Google will also have access to VivaKi's video and mobile display ad platform. The new platform will enable advertisers to bid on mobile and video display ads in real time on Google's DoubleClick exchange. To read more, check out Tanzina Vega's article on the NYTimes technology blog.

I have developed/managed my dev database in sql azure, but I cant figure out how to copy the schema of my dev sql azure database so I can upload it to my production sql azure database? I have heard of other 3rd party tools, but is this the best way? If so what is a good tool to use for this?
http://sqlazuremw.codeplex.com/ is also a quite simple to use and efficient tool
If your production database is empty and you just need to clone your current dev database - you can export your DevDB to .bacpac file and then import back it on production server.
Old portal have that functionality there: Database->subscription->server->Pick database, import\export on the top.
New portal: DB, click on servers tab, select server -> databases tab, Import\Export buttons on bottom panel
If you need just migrate your schema to production database, which filled with data and should't be interrupted - you can create SQLProject type (if i remember correctly - you need SQL Server Data Tools, SSDT. Also its available with SQL2012 Tools\Studio) and then you can compare your Azure DB Schema to empty project and script schema back to sql constructs. Then just publish newly created scripts to your production database.
Two tools you should never do without when working with SQL are SQL Compare and SQL Data Compare by Redgate. They have saved me countless hours of work and will streamline what you want to do. I've used them with azure and they work well and do the job for us.
See http://www.red-gate.com/products/sql-development/sql-developer-bundle/
The first product will compare and create your schema and the second will let you synch your data. Sometimes it's just better to pay for the right tools and this is that case.
http://www.bluesyntax.net/ is a powerful tool, available at no charge, that will do this for you.
SQL Azure MW (http://sqlazuremw.codeplex.com/) works ok, although it did fall apart on me a couple of times when working with a lot of tables in the schema.
Another option is also Azure Data Sync, but as far as I know, it also doesn't want to work if you have more than 500 tables in your database.
What I did in the end is sqlcmd with the SQL dump of the database:
that took ages, but worked fine. The big problem is how to get it back locally :-)

that's how i was greeted by one of the admins when I got into the office today...and good morning to you. I'm a little frustrated by the comment. Since when is it okay, pregnant or not, to tell a woman that she looks fat? For some perspective..i'm 5'4" and at doc yesterday i weighed 113lb and am 16w2d.
I think I would have looked at her and said, "Really!? How is that okay to say to me?" I think I would have been that direct. haha I'm so sorry. What a way to start the day!
Miss Katie, 33 DD 14, DS 12, DS 7, ^DS^ at 2 months old from OI, DS 4...#6 due July '16 after five consecutive early MCs
I said "how is that appropriate to say to any woman?" so now i can't stop touching my face to see if it feels fatter. ha.
I would've told her wow youre rude but its okay because atleast I can fix it. you're ugly for life. and then smile and say have a good day and walk away. I'm vicious with woman. My best friend called me fat and was cracking fat jokes on me and I left her with her date she was trying to escape and told her he can take her home instead. She's too immature and doesnt realize still that I'm going to change.
Wow. I don't think I would have been able to hold back either. But I probably wouldn't have figured out a good comeback until later. This is kind of immature, but maybe you should just catch her off guard one day and say something really insulting to her about how she looks :) And if she gets pissed you could just say "well after you informed me my face looked fat I thougth we had the type of relationship where we could be honest with each other."
@Kaitlin: hahahahahha that is awesome!!! in 2 months I'll tell her her breath stinks!
I totally understand. My sister met up with me to help me load some heavy things at home depot. I was finally showing and it was the first time she'd seen my belly. Her way of handling it was to clap her hand and skip down the aisle to meet me. Then dance around me chanting "I'm not the fat sister anymore." (she recently lost about 60 lbs.)
I responded with a goodhearted joking. "I'm not fat, I'm pregnant you nitwit."
She still tells me how fat I look every time she sees me, and when my dad called and we were hanging out the other day she even told him over the phone..."Wait till you see her, she's gotten so fat."
Mary (34) and Antoni (32)
Lincoln Eli and Emilia Lynne (3YO Twins), Claire Elizabeth (16mo)
@pennymary how would you put up with that. I'm so glad my sisters are not only younger but would never say taht because they kow I would deck them for that! That would make me cry.
I take it with a grain of salt. I know she is joking and doesn't realize quite how rude she is being. She has always been the fat sister and as a small kid, when she upset me, I knew the thing that would really hurt her back would be to comment on her weight, and I sometimes did. I think that's the reason I havn't flat out told her that it bothers me and she needs to knock it off. At the same time, I was 7 when I was pulling that crap and she's 28 now so she should probably know better. I will probably put a stop to it soon, but telling my sister anything is impossible. It always turns into her defensive and stomping out, or in tears about how she's misunderstood. It may be easier to just be "fat." :-)

Academics at Cal Lutheran are great! Faculty are involved, and the courses are engaging.
Athletics at the school are great! Tons of fun to attend events.
Local Area:
Nice college town. Away from the city
i feel as though this is a small dictatorship and we have limited freedom. a good thing though, we do not have a curfew. thank god!
there is minimal public transportation to get around to other areas. everything is a pretty far walk if you do not have a car.
I guess there are computer labs?

Excellent number of options within miles of campus.

Located in the heart of the beautiful, secure town of Thousand Oaks, CLU is an ideal university for those who enjoy a tight-knit community that focuses on academics, diversity, and social connections. The small student population offers students more occasions to bond with fellow Kingsmen and Regals, and to connect with professors who actually know them as individuals, not just as numbers. The semester system enables students to delve into courses of their interest, and the time spent on academic studies helps students discover what they would like to do after their CLU years. With more than 35 majors and 35 minors, and a mix and match of doubling up on both, students are bound to find their perfect area of study. CLU's close, intimate environment provides students with what other large, public schools can't: countless opportunities to shine academically and socially, and stand out as individuals without the pressure and competition of a large student body. Clubs, organizations, academic departments, and residence halls are just some of the places in which students can become involved, contribute to their school and local communities, and bond with other students, faculty, and staff.
To briefly break away from the hectic class schedules and loads of coursework, campus events, like Club Lu, afford students with musical-, sports-, art-, and food-related events. From sports games at Dodger Stadium to catching a comedy flick in Kingsmen Park, CLU events bring students together for a night of fun. At any of these events, in class, at the caf, or just hanging out in the dorms, it's not difficult to see the diversity of students. Coming from a variety of social, economic, ethnic, and political backgrounds, CLU students bring a great understanding and appreciation for other cultures on campus.

I'm now into the heavy-duty knitting part of this tunic. I really like looking at the cables going in different directions in this sweater, and I'm also having a great time seeing pictures of some of your tunics grow as well! Have I made mistakes along the way? Well, I always do! But I tell my students that in order to be a good knitter, you have to be a good ripper. When I was working a couple of 3/3 cables instead of 4/4 cables in that center cable panel, back I ripped. I'm glad I did as it would have been one very uneven center cable if I hadn't fixed it.
After I finished the back I could have worked the front (which is identical to the back) between the sections that I marked off for it. Instead, I decided to work on one of the sleeves, so that we could look at how the sleeve grows from that original cable yoke strip. For the small size, I needed to pick up 46 stitches between areas marked for the front and back. I started with what will be my right sleeve and picked up my first stitch right next to the back. Unlike the back, the sleeve does not have a center cable, just 2 slipped stitches between the smaller cables as you can see in the picture.
The increasing at the sides of the sleeve is identical to the back. I wanted to get going on this sleeve to show something that will be very important to finishing the tunic and make the sleeves fit correctly. Some knitters who have done this tunic have had a problem with the armholes ending up much too narrow. After looking at some of the pictures of the finished tunics on Ravelry, I think the problem is in the finishing of the underarm seams. Before sewing up the side and sleeve seams, make sure to sew together the front and the backs to the sleeves along the areas where you first did all the side increases and ended up casting on stitches.
I have sewn the first of these 4 underarm seams here to show you, and once again I sewed them together with right side facing me. This seam will be under your arm and will give your tunic great shape and enough width.
My first sleeve is going very well, and I was surprised to see that after you do those first side increases and cast on stitches, that you just work evenly from that point on. Only the front and back flare, while the sleeves stay the same width all the way to the end. Now with the sleeves and the front to be finished, I will be keeping extra busy with the two weeks that will pass until my next post in the New Year. Thanks to those of you who have been answering (and asking!) questions, and I wish you all the best this season! Keep Knitting and Happy Holidays!

With all that goes on during the holidays, make decorating simple and add a lot to your windows or tablescapes with this simple idea.
To get the Lion Brand Yarn Studio (and our lion!) ready for winter, we hung these simple, fast crocheted snowflakes from the ceiling if our window display. They add sparkle and a little holiday cheer to our window!
Want to crochet snowflakes like ours? Download our free snowflake pattern and use it with Vanna's Glamour yarn. The subtle metallic shine of Vanna's Glamour will make your snowflakes sparkle. We recommend the colors Diamond and Platinum for gorgeous snow, or Topaz for a little extra glitz. And for that extra-stiff look, we dipped the finished snowflakes in a mix of equal parts water and non-toxic children's glue, and let them dry.
These crochet snowflakes would also look great as coasters or hanging off your tree.There are so many ways of using these fast-to-make decorations.

This is a guest post from our intern, Lindsey. Her last blog post was about her great Homespun Ruffled Scarf.
I am an indecisive person and, after making all my decisions for what to make everyone for Christmas, I wondered, what will I knit after the holidays? Sometimes, I feel that I spend more time on Ravelry and the Lion Brand Pattern Finder than I do actually knitting or crocheting. So, for my Christmas gift I've asked my family to decide on projects for me.
Each of my family members is picking a pattern, either for me, or them, or both, and giving me the yarn and necessary materials to go with it. I've shown them the Lion Brand Pattern Finder, which gives them plenty of options for how to search for patterns. I've also let them know what my skill levels are in both knit and crochet, and also that I'm always willing to try new things that push my skills.
For me, it's perfect: every family member gets to pick a piece that is unique, something they will enjoy, and something they put just enough thought and effort into to feel good about giving me. They get to put thought and effort into it without worrying whether or not I'll love it, because no matter what I will enjoy making it.

This last week I have learned the true definition of "knit-along." When I was asked to host this KAL, I thought I would only be showing my progress on making the Cable Luxe Tunic and also give some advice along the way. What I have found, to my surprise, is how we really are doing this together, and those of you working on this project are not only asking some great questions, but answering others' questions, giving great advice, and even finding a couple of "hiccups" in the pattern.
The first part of this back has raised more than a few questions, so I will explain why certain parts of the back are worked the way they are – and give a few hints on increasing. After I picked up the stitches for the back, the instructions ask for increases at both sides of back. The increases are done one stitch at a time on each side for a few rows, and then the pattern calls for casting on a number of stitches all at the same time.
Here is a picture of the left side of my back (as I am looking at it) and you can see the stitches that have increased on the edge. This increased edge will later be sewn to the same increased edge of the adjacent sleeve to create a nice seam under the arm. Although this looks a little unusual, it will give the tunic great shape under that arm!
Now, many of you have asked about that slipped stitch that is between the cables. It is simply made by slipping the stitch on the right side of your work and purling it on the wrong side. When I increased for the underarm, I placed one more slipped stitch 2 stitches away from the edge cables. It is in these areas where there are 2 purl stitches (between the slipped stitch and the cable) where I will work the increases to make the tunic start to flare.
Here is where that "hiccup" is in the pattern. After the "Shape the Waist" section of the pattern, the instructions tell you to work your increases on row 3 of the Center Cable Pattern and on row 3 of the 3/3 cable. The increases should be worked on row 3 of the second repeat of the Center Cable pattern, but that makes that row actually row 7 of the 3/3 cable. I'm sure many of you just kept working your cable patterns repeats as written, but the pattern has been corrected.
Some of you have asked where to work your increase in the purl sections between the slipped stiches and the cable patterns. I did a "make 1" purlwise (raised-bar increase) on each side of the cable patterns. This picture shows how invisible this increase can be — the bottom part of the picture has 2 purl stitches between the cables and the slipped stitches, and the top has 3. If you have never done the "make 1" increase, the Lion Brand Learning Center has a great tutorial to show you. Click here for instructions.
I will increase like this for the next 2 times I am on row 3 of my center cable pattern. Then I will increase no more on the back and can just work up straight. It's all downhill after this point, because the front is the same as the back!

The seagate hybrid is indeed faster than our regular HDD but its speed is still limited when compared to SSDs. And Its very very distinct when youre loading online games. Hybrids are useful for situations where you have space for only one device.Originally Posted by dragoon20005
Else If possible you should think about getting an SSD and a regular HDD for storage.
Thats just my personal experience over the last 2 years.

of course AMD! because of it, we can have affordable CPU.

oh almost forget its also use to play 3D Blu Rays and anime videos
the CEO of AMD need to buck up
actually, instead of hybrid hdd maybe you wanna check out
Intel Z68 Chipset & Smart Response Technology?
u pair up a ordinary hdd, but with a ssd as a cache device, im using it right now, and its great. u can read up here:
AnandTech - Intel Z68 Chipset & Smart Response Technology (SSD Caching) Review
Like that I can buy a relatively inexpensive 60gb ssd, and boost the speed of my hdd to ssd levels (never take timer or anything, but the feeling of speed is similar)
IGNORED: dhung67
well, to me i have to disagree about using them separately.
These are just my personal pros and cons, i have used a 60gb crucial m4 as a os drive+applications as while as a srt caching device
-U spend less $ for similar performance as a ssd
(it lowers the price-performance ratio alot, provided you have plans for a ordinary hdd)
-U need not worry about the lack of capacity
(unless u have $ which renders the first 2 points moot)
Nothing, i wouldnt go back to using them separately. 1 con may be that u need to set up ur os in raid, but that's it.

i just saw this 2 Acer laptops with similar specs but from different camps
one is from AMD the other is Intel/nVidia
Intel i7-3610QM 2.3GHz
GT640m 2GB
15.6" HD screen
AMD A10-4600m 2.3Ghz
15.6" HD screen
both $1099
Depends on your application.
If you need the processor, then choose Intel.
you want to game better or watch movies, AMD is better because of its stronger GPU

This ever happen to anyone? I went for about a 7 and half hour ride, about 225km, which doesnt seem like much maybe, but its defently the longest ride I went on to date. I got home and had a cold shower and just layed in bed for a while, feeling really awful. After about an hour I felt like I needed to use the bathroom.. sat down and crunched over due to being really tired still, and then it hit me. About 3-4 times in a row, this was convinent 'cause the bathtub was beside me at least. I felt much better after that, just sore (normal).
I think I vomitted due to what I drank on the ride probably, but who knows, I dont think it was due to heat cause it wasnt really that hot today. I've felt really hot while riding before in bad heat, but this ride was no problem. The last thing I drank on the way back was "Powerade", and I dont think my body liked it much, I only drank it a few time before and it never really seemed to sit well with me.
I guess water should be drank on these kind of rides, and only water.
