Green economy in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradicationRead more on Green economy at the Sustainable Development Knowledge Platform - the follow-up website for Rio+20
Sustainable development emphasizes a holistic, equitable and far-sighted approach to decision-making at all levels. It emphasizes not just strong economic performance but intragenerational and intergenerational equity. It rests on integration and a balanced consideration of social, economic and environmental goals and objectives in both public and private decision-making. The concept of green economy focuses primarily on the intersection between environment and economy. This recalls the 1992 Rio Conference: the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development.

Meryl Streep in her stunning portrayal in the movie...
The real Julia Child wisking away...
and with her rolling pin collection.
Hey!...Has anyone gone to see the new movie out called Julie and Julia? It is about Julia Child, the late french-cooking maven, and about a contemporary Julie who was a little obssessed with her. I went to the Friday matinee, and I though it was so good! Meryl Streep plays Julia Child, and she absolutely NAILS it with her complete transformation into the Julia Child I used to watch on television when I was a teenager, doing her cooking show: "The French Chef".
I think one of the things I loved the most about this movie is the way it portrayed Julia Child and her husband Paul, and the wonderful supportive relationship they appeared to have. They were married for like 50 years or something, and both lived to be over 90 years old. (So much for butter clogging your arteries!) I loved the way he encouraged her and accepted her and loved her just the way she was. It is a tender romance and an inspiration to anyone who has a dream, and who works hard to achieve it.
Anyone who walks away from this movie uninspired and unimpressed by the talented actors must have been either asleep through the whole thing, or completely blind and deaf.
Let's just say I highly recommend it!
I downloaded an actual clip of the real Julia Child from her program called "Julia Child and Company". I just had to share it with you. I love how she talks, and the way she clearly loves what she does.

Ayala Extends Wrestling Season With 9-7 Victory In NCAA Consolations
Sophomore Abram Ayala was the breakout star of the 2013-14 Princeton wrestling season. And he wasn't ready for that season to end. Ayala won his opening consolation match at the NCAA Championships to advance to the second day in Oklahoma City.
Ayala will have his work cut out for him in Session III, where he will face sixth-seeded Richard Perry of Bloomsburg. Perry was upset 4-3 in the Round of 16 by the 11th-seeded Nathan Burak of Iowa. You can watch the match live on ESPN3; check both the @PUTigers and @tigerwrestling feeds to learn which mat Ayala will compete on.
In his opener, Ayala faced off against fifth-seeded Kyven Gadson of Iowa State. Gadson, who is currently the top-ranked wrestler in the nation according to InterMat, was able to score a quick takedown in the first period, and he showed his dominance on top by riding Ayala for more than two minutes to close the period.
Gadson escaped to start the second period, but Ayala attempted to push the pace throughout the middle period in search for his first takedown. Gadson thwarted the efforts, but Ayala chose the neutral position to start the final period and continued searching out a takedown. Gadson was able to win a scramble midway through the period to open a 5-0 lead, and despite a late Ayala escape, the fifth seed advanced with a 6-1 victory.
He took on unseeded Marshall Haas of The Citadel in the first round of consolation matches, and he was able to grab his first lead of the day during the first period with a takedown. Haas got a reversal, but Ayala escaped in time for a 3-2 lead. An Ayala escape and takedown helped him establish a 6-3 lead entering the final two minutes, but Haas got back within two points with a third-period escape.
At that point, Ayala went for his reliable double leg, and it secured a crucial final takedown en route to a 9-7 victory.
"I'm excited for Abram that he gets to keep wrestling," head coach Chris Ayres said. "Winning any match at NCAAs is an accomplishment, but I know he isn't satisfied. He'll come out focused and ready Friday."

Rated 5 out of 5 by 1 reviewer.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sabina Well designed and very cute! They're coasters, so of course they're useful in preventing rings and stains on your (super cute Cost Plus Aiden) coffee table. In addition, though, they're quite stylish. I love how the design on each one is different. There are so many different colors, they can match any decor. Mine are a nice accent on top of the coffee table. They also have little felt rings on the bottom at each corner so they won't scratch your table or make awful noises when moved. Perfect!

On the occasion of the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Benjamin Britten, Mark Padmore brings us an exceptional recital programme of music by the British composer. Britten has a special place in the history of music, perhaps being the only composer who has won fame for his melodies as well as his operas. This interview with an outstanding composer of melodies tells us about the musician he continues to explore in the hope of discovering him for the first time – to paraphrase T.S. Eliot.
Britten is able to convey the feeling that melody and opera are fundamentally the same, differing only in scale. There are even similarities between his operas and his Church Parables, doing away with the boundary between church and opera. His vocal works seem to constitute an organic whole, with each interlinking part feeding upon the others. Are you of this opinion?
This is a very pertinent observation, based on the incredible wealth and plurality of Britten's literary inspiration, for both his melodies and his operas. His entire work is inextricably linked to the beauty of the word, and he accomplishes – even transfigures – this unity of musical and poetic vision. His sources include poems by Thomas Hardy, W.H. Auden, John Donne, William Blake (for the cycle presented in this recital) and T.S. Eliot, and the literary sources for his libretti are just as significant, adding Thomas Mann, Henry James and Herman Melville to this list. As regards the Church Parables, I think that the opera aspects which may be detected are also related to Britten's eminently practical and down-to-earth nature. Following some setbacks with major opera houses which he mistrusted somewhat, he was able to express his sensibility through his parables, allowing him to take charge of the creative process as well as the production of his work. In the same way, when his heart surgery left him with a partially paralysed right hand and thus incapable of accompanying Peter Pears ¬– his partner and person for whom his works were composed – on the piano, he composed a series of works for him, accompanied by Osian Ellis on the harp, as is the case with Canticle 5. But above all I feel that what unites his vocal works ¬– the framework which constitutes them – is the importance given to drama and the human element. For me there is an obvious parallel between the second Canticle 'Abraham and Isaac' and the opera Billy Budd, based on Melville's text. Just as Abraham must sacrifice his son Isaac, Captain Vere must sacrifice the young Billy, and both are subject to a law – an irresistible force which compels them; Abraham and Vere form one body with a loved one's suffering as they prepare for their dreadful fate. In the Biblical story, God intervenes at the last moment – which happens rarely in Britten's works – and the innocent victim is not sacrificed. Britten reused the musical material from the second Canticle in the Offertorium of his War Requiem, which parodies the Biblical message with cold irony. One of the aspects of Billy Budd which we cannot hide is the theme of the love between two men, which is different from the filial love at the heart of the second Canticle.
The subject of the first Canticle, 'My beloved is mine, and I am His', based on a poem by 17th century mystic F. Quarles and on the Songs of Salomon, evokes the relationship between Christ and the sinner, but above all is a love declaration to Peter Pears, Britten's partner and inspiration.
I think there is some ambiguity in all of Britten's work, and that it is reflected in his character. He was a famous composer, admired by the establishment he was part of, who demonstrated great courage: his work disregards the morals and customs of his time. The first work which he devoted to Peter Pears, Seven Sonnets of Michelangelo, in 1942, is a rash love declaration at a time when homosexuality was still illegal in England and punishable by imprisonment. At the time Billy Budd was created, English theatre was still subject to censure, which lasted until 1968. Not only did Britten lift the veil on the deepest and most intimate feelings, but he dared to tackle the delicate subject of the love of an older man for a young man or boy, flouting conservative society, which was little inclined to consider the philosophical question of how feelings of love are experienced. The theme of the love of an older man for a younger man was not only explored by Britten in his operas Billy Budd and of course Death in Venice, but also in the melody Sokrates und Alkibiades based on Hölderlin's text. The ambiguity and paradox at the heart of this man are also found just beneath the surface of his work. We never know what happened to Peter Grimes' first apprentice, what justifies Captain Vere's silence during Billy's trial, or what the young Miles in Turn of the Screw did to be expelled from school. I feel that Britten's genius also consists in taking us out of a comfort zone and in leaving us with questions rather than answers.
Britten often composed for a specific performer: the melodies based on Blake's poems were dedicated to Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, and the countertenor part of Canticle 4, 'The Journey of the Magi', was performed for the first time by James Bowman. How is an artist able to follow in the footsteps of illustrious predecessors and become part of a tradition?
I think that the problem has been much less significant for artists of my generation than for those of the generation following that of Peter Pears. I was fortunate to have discovered Britten through the prism of wonderful performances by Anthony Rolf Johnson and Philip Langridge, and to be able to distance myself more easily from Peter Pears' impressive and distinctive representations.
Let us speak about your recital and its somewhat unique form. You will share the stage with countertenor Iestyn Davis and baritone Marcus Farnsworth. Is this the first time that you will present this programme and is it a way for you to compensate for 'the solitude of the solo recitalist'?
No, this is not the first time that we are presenting this programme. A live recording of the same recital at Wigmore Hall will soon be released. The soloist recital as we know it is a relatively modern phenomenon from the second half of the 19th century, and the image we have of it is partly influenced by Fischer-Dieskau. Schubert never performed his Winterreise in one go, and it was only twenty years after Schumann's death that an entire evening was dedicated to his Dichterliebe. In addition to the pleasure and freedom involved in choosing to perform with colleagues whom you respect and appreciate (as was the case with Britten), I feel that sharing the stage and providing the possibility to hear a variety of voices and different tones allows the audience to enjoy a unique experience. This recital, due to the number of vocal and instrumental performers (in addition to the piano, there will also be a harp and a horn), escapes the relative 'danger' – so to speak, with emphasis on the word 'relative' – faced by recitals with a more traditional form.

Retirement Communities Explained
The term "over 55" refers to any age-restricted or age-qualified community designed for (and marketed toward) individuals 55 and older, who are still active and able to live independently. Most require that one or more members of the household be over the age of 55, and restrict households to members over the age of 18. They provide opportunities for recreational activities, with on-site activities centers, clubhouses, and fitness facilities. No personal assistance is provided for activities of daily living, but groundskeepers generally maintain home exteriors and yards, and security staff regularly patrol the neighborhoods. These are senior living alternatives where residents can remain active and engaged with exercise, continuing education, clubs, and opportunities for social interaction with other active seniors..
Types of Over 55 Communities
There are many choices when looking for what is right for you. Although all types are considered "age restricted," some have stricter guidelines or special amenities not provided by others. Below is a list of different 55+ types with brief descriptions of restrictions and what they offer:
Active Adult Communities: With the baby boomer generation moving into their retirement years, these are popping up in all regions of the country, not only the "retirement Mecca" of the Sunbelt. These are usually age-qualified for age 55 and over. They are designed with energetic seniors in mind, with a number of on-site recreational and fitness facilities, such as tennis and basketball courts, swimming pools, footpaths, biking trails, and exercise equipment. They may also have scheduled social events such as dances, bowling, themed parties or shopping trips. Usually, homes are individually owned and residents have their own transportation for off-site activities (although shuttles may also be provided).
Senior Communities: have an age restriction of 62 or over, and are also for seniors who can live independently. Often a bit more laid-back and quieter than active adult communities, they still provide many on-site options for socializing and recreation.
Golden Girls: The Golden Girls housing arrangement is sometimes an option, appealing to single, divorced, or widowed boomer women. Shared living arrangements or individual homes within an all-female neighborhood make for a comfortable, family-like lifestyle in the company of other women who share similar experiences and outlooks.
Urban Senior Condominiums: For seniors who want the excitement and mental stimulation of a metropolitan area, with the security and comfort of being surrounded by others in the same phase of life. Usually restricted to residents 55 years of age or older, they often have strict noise restrictions. These usually offer fitness and business facilities within the development, good security systems, and on-site maintenance staff.RV Senior Communities: These properties are popular in Florida, California, and the Southwest. Residents either rent or buy their own mobile homes or RVs, and usually lease the piece of land on which they reside. Often providing a very close-knit neighborhood feel, these offer less privacy and usually fewer on-site amenities.
Other types include Resort, Golf, Waterfront, age-qualified neighborhoods in small towns, and other 55 friendly subdivisions that are not officially age-restricted but are designed and marketed to appeal to retirees.
There are many alternatives for your housing arrangements, so use the information we have compiled on here to get out, visit some #55communities and find the right home for the next exciting phase in your life.
55+ Homes For Sale or RentAlthough targeted toward seniors who want to purchase a property, there are also home rentals available within many. Rental options include single family homes, condominiums, townhouses, and apartments. We have expanded and upgraded our listings for 55+ home rentals and homes for sale. These are individual home listings offered by realtors, homeowners, or property management companies usually in 55 and older communities, and are separate from our other listings. Happy hunting!
I was hesitant to invest in a retirement community, but when I saw how many different types were are out there, I got excited about making the move. 55 Community Guide helped me and my husband find the perfect active adult community for our interests and activity levels, and since moving in, we have never looked back. What a great way to spend the leisure time we have earned for ourselves! Linda, age 61, retired nutritionist

Abram Ayala Discusses EIWA Journey, Nationals, Prior To NCAA Debut
NCAA LINKS: NCAA BRACKETS l LIVE VIDEO l LIVE RESULTS l @TIGERWRESTLING
Head coach Chris Ayres referred to Abram Ayala as the inspiration of the team prior to the EIWA Championships. He'd love nothing more than to see his sophomore standout cap a terrific 2013-14 season with his biggest inspirational performance of all.
Ayala (26-10) will make his NCAA Championships debut Thursday in Oklahoma City, Okla., when he takes on fifth-seeded Kyven Gadson of Iowa City in the first round of the 197-pound bracket. The first session will begin at noon Eastern time (11 am local), and every mat will be streamed live on ESPN3. Regardless of his result in the opening session, Ayala will wrestle during the Thursday evening session as well; that is scheduled to start at 7 pm Eastern time.
While Gadson may be the fifth seed, he is actually the top-ranked wrestler in the nation according to InterMat, TheOpenMat.com, ASICS Flowrestling, and W.I.N. Magazine. The two-time reigning Big 12 champion is 25-2 on the season, and he has won 11 straight matches entering the NCAA Championships.
Ayala is making his debut at the NCAA Championships, a spot he earned with his fifth-place finish at the EIWA Championships last weekend. He clinched the spot with a 4-3 quarterfinal win over Daniel Mitchell of American, who was seeded third in the tournament.
"Ayala has been an inspiration to our team all season, and he has improved as much in one season as anybody I have ever worked with," head coach Chris Ayres said. "This is going to be a great experience for him, and I hope he enjoys it and just wrestles as hard as he can."
Ayala comes into the NCAAs with a 26-10 record, and he earned All-Ivy League honorable mention.

no Prince Saud holds press conference Prince Saud discusses Palestine, Syria at press conference
Prince Saud Al-Faisal addresses Palestine, Syria at press conference
December 4, 2012
During a press briefing in Riyadh today, Foreign Minister Prince Saud Al-Faisal welcomed the passage of a United Nations General Assembly resolution granting Palestine the status of observer state. He declared, "We hope that the United Nations Security Council deals positively with the General Assembly resolution, . . . responds to the opinions of the international majority in dealing with the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, and puts an end to the Israeli policy of procrastination within the framework of its responsibilities in maintaining international peace and security."
Prince Saud blamed the lack of movement in the peace process on Israel, specifically denouncing its continuous settlement building. "If withdrawal from the settlements does not happen, the two-state solution will not be achieved," he stated. "Where can a Palestinian state be created and what are the lands belonging to it as the West Bank is controlled by Israel almost entirely? . . . Without withdrawing from these lands, I think that there is no chance or possibility of a two-state solution."
Turning to the crisis in Syria, the Foreign Minister expressed his deep regret over the increasing number of innocent people being killed, injured and displaced. He condemned the "severe destruction witnessed by Syrian cities under the bombardment of the blind, devastating military machine of the regime." Prince Saud stressed the importance of achieving a political transition of power. "We see that the formation of the new Syrian coalition constitutes a positive, important task to unite the opposition under one banner," he said. "We hope to see a similar step toward unifying the positions and visions of the international community."
Asked about fears of chaos in the aftermath of the fall of the Assad regime, Prince Saud expressed optimism that the Syrian opposition is becoming more united, but reiterated his disappointment at some in the international community. "If the international position in the Security Council is as united as the opposition was united, I think that this will be a beginning for the resolution of the crisis in Syria," the Foreign Minister said. "Fear has no place because all who were united under the umbrella of the opposition insist that there is no fear for the others and that there is no desire for revenge or following those who fought in this war. . . Hence, fear or intimidation, in this case, I think, is to obstruct the solution."
Prince Saud predicted that the opposition coalition, which has been recognized by the Kingdom as the legitimate representative of the Syrian people, will be able to deal with the aftermath of the war. "Syria has been there even before Al-Assad," he stated. "And after Al-Assad, it will be a state that maintains its unity and deals with its people equally. This is within the framework of the program of action they have introduced. They have a huge task to rebuild Syria because the destruction in Syria has become a phenomenon that exceeds what we've seen. The number of victims and the destruction of infrastructure have become unbearable. The heavy bombing of a city such as Damascus, the oldest city in the world, by the Assad regime makes them face a huge task in re-building their own country."

City of Light
THE PARTY Lyric Opera's signature Fantasy of the Opera gala was a wow-worthy event yet again as the Civic Opera House was completely transformed into 1920s Paris, complete with the Eiffel Tower and Moulin Rouge nightclub—behind its signature red windmill were stairs leading down to a red-lit club, where guests enjoyed cocktails, macaroons and personalized drawings by caricature artist Linda Annen. THE SCENE A crowd of 700 walked the streets of Paris—signature Avenue des Champs-Élysées and Place Saint-Germain des Prés signs lined the foyer—where stations served hors d'oeuvres from restaurants Avec, Vera, Toni Patisserie & Café, Sweet Margy, Embeya and more. Between sips of Veuve Clicquot Champagne and "Oo la la!" highballs (Grand Marnier, cranberry juice, seltzer and lime), guests got silly in the photo booth with berets and sunglasses. THE HIGHLIGHTS A cabaret-style performance featured stars of the opera house's current season, such as soprano Amanda Majeski, who sang and tap-danced "I've Got Rhythm" and baritone Lucas Meachem, who performed a goosebump-inducing rendition of "Oh, Danny Boy."

Okay guys just wanted to see what kind of guitars you find partial too and why? I wanted to see what everyone tastes were lol.I'll start. My personal favorite are actually jumbo and grand auditorium style guitars because i find with them that they just bloom all the notes and chords inside of them. I used to play dreads originally but i find between the two that natural reverb and resonance of jumbo's and GA have a nice touch to them.
Views: 141
As a lap player... ideally... smaller, thinner with low action, making up the loss of "punch" with electronics. As a lover... any size or style, other than some of the heavy metal electrics. A question for you, Archie... I see you have an Ibanez EW. When I bought mine, I had no clue about the grief I would get from the controls being on the lower bout. Not only do I find it harder to make adjustments, mid song, but every time I reach for something, my arm moves the sliders all over the place. Do you find the same? Thanks.
Ah, you have the newer editions. When i bought mine i had the one with the turners for bas, mid and treble along with a phase and the tuner. With mine i had absolutly no problem with it. I have to say though that guitar for was probably one of the best guitars ive ever had. Its a sinch to EQ. I had the quilted ash one and i didnt have the loudness say a martin or taylor has... but the Grand Auditorium shape gave it such a nice bottom end that was rare in guitars. Mine was alot more bottom heavy without sounding muddy. They changed to sliders and they added a a frequency slider too i believe. I Wouldnt know about the newer electronics but i can tell you that that guitar though is a gem if you just learn how to use her. Every open mic or gig that had you plug straight in to a PA, thats especially where the guitar shines.
.... mine is a "Padauk" with an incredibly slick neck... burning fast, but the lower bout controls seem, to me, to be a case of untested design.
Hands down, my favorite is the slope dread. ie, gibson j45. To me, the sound difference between the slope & square dreads is too minimal to mention, but in rare instances when I want to reach the 15th fret I can without resorting to something I do not like on any acoustig guitar, the cutaway. Also, my first "real" guitar was a Gibson j45 that my parents got me for high school graduation in 1978. I still have it & will likely die clutching it in my left hand.

WALNUT CREEK, Calif. - The Pac-12 announced the conference and television portion of the 2013 schedule on Monday, as the Bruins will be featured on TV 13 times during league play, with 11 matchups on the Pac-12 Networks and two on ESPNU.
Times for most of the November television matches, as well as the non-televised Pac-12 contests, are to be announced. In addition, dates and times are still subject to change. Log on to the women's volleyball schedule page on UCLABruins.com for the most up-to-date information.
The 2013 season begins for UCLA at the LMU Invitational (Aug. 30-31). UCLA will face Albany on Aug. 30 and North Texas on the morning of Aug. 31 before taking on the host team on the evening of Aug. 31. Loyola Marymount was an NCAA Tournament team a year ago.
From there, the Bruins will make their annual trip to Hawai'i, facing three teams which made the NCAA's in 2012. Following matchups on Sept. 5 against Santa Clara and Sept. 6 versus New Mexico State at the Hawaiian Airlines Wahine Volleyball Classic, UCLA will collide with host Hawai'i on Sept. 7. The Rainbow Wahine advanced to the second round of the tournament last season.
The last part of the non-conference portion of the schedule features a three-day tournament at the Denver Invitational and a local matchup down the 405. The Bruins head to the Mile High City Sept. 12-14, facing Denver, Cal State Northridge and Creighton, which advanced to the second round of the NCAA's in 2012. UCLA then travels to Long Beach State for a mid-week affair against the 49ers on Sept. 18.
For the fourth straight season, the Bruins will open up Pac-12 play on national television against their crosstown rival, facing USC on Sept. 25 at the Galen Center on ESPNU. The 12-match road trip to open the season wraps up on Sept. 27 at Colorado in a contest broadcast on the Pac-12 Networks.
The first home matches in 2013 will be against the Bay Area schools. UCLA hosts Stanford on Oct. 2 and California on Oct. 4. Both contests will be aired on the Pac-12 Networks.
After a brief homestand, the Bruins are out on the road for four in a row in the middle of October. The first match will be another contest on ESPNU against 2012 National runner-up Oregon on Oct. 11. The road trip continues at Oregon State on Oct. 12, at Arizona on Oct. 18 and at Arizona State on Oct. 20. Both matches in Arizona will be broadcast on the Pac-12 Networks.
After a road heavy schedule to start the year, the Bruins will play eight of their last 12 regular-season matches in Westwood. UCLA hosts Washington on Oct. 25 on the Pac-12 Networks and Washington State on Oct. 26. Two more TV contests on the Pac-12 Networks await the Bruins the following weekend in Northern California, as UCLA faces Stanford on Nov. 1 and California on Nov. 3.
UCLA returns home the next weekend against Oregon State on Nov. 8 and Oregon on Nov. 10, with the tilt versus the Ducks showing live on the Pac-12 Networks. From there, the Bruins embark on their final road trip of the regular season, taking on Washington on the Pac-12 Networks on Nov. 13 and Washington State on Nov. 15.
The Bruins close the regular season with a four-match homestand. UCLA entertains Arizona State on Nov. 22 and Arizona on Nov. 24. The Bruins then host USC in what has become an annual Thanksgiving week tradition, although this time the matchup will be prior to Turkey Day, as the Trojans come to visit on Nov. 27 on the Pac-12 Networks. The day after Thanksgiving on Nov. 29, the Bruins host Utah in the last match of the regular season.
The NCAA Tournament begins on December 6 at 16 campus locations and continues the following weekend at four Regional sites hosted by Illinois, Kentucky, Nebraska and USC. The National Semifinals and Championship will be staged in Seattle, Wash. on Dec. 19 and 21.

Today I'm glad to present you an article by James Hawkins.
As the heading of this article suggests, either you are a windows or a Linux user, you aren't safe online. We (Linux users) were happy in the past thinking that running Ubuntu or Fedora would have saved us from an "infection", but that is not the case anymore, today any Operating System whether Mac, Linux or windows, has his own weakness,related to his vulnerabilities. We know that windows pc's had more vulnerabilities in comparison to any other O.S in the past, but the point is that every computer over the Internet could have its own exploits, its only a matter of finding those vulnerabilities and exploiting them.

Supply Chain Technology: LMS is coming into its own
The continued need to drive costs out of the supply chain is slowly, but surely pushing labor management system adoption rates. Our Technology Correspondent offers a snapshot of the LMS market and examines the issues driving its use inside the four walls as well as in the cabs of the nation's private fleets.
in the NewsBehind KION Group's acquisition of Dematic UniCarriers Americas executives partner with Roosevelt University Brexit impact yet to be measured by U.S. logistics managers Rail carload and intermodal volumes fall for the week ending June 18, reports AAR BTS reports U.S.-NAFTA trade falls 3.2 percent in April More News
Labor management systems (LMS) have been around for years, making the market a fairly mature and proven one by supply chain software standards.
Used primarily as a way to manage and track the labor activities for distribution operations, LMS typically incorporates real-time interaction with warehouse management systems (WMS). Most often used within the four walls of a warehouse, these systems report on labor activity, and then compare that activity against historical data and established labor standards.
However, despite LMS' knack for enhancing worker productivity and shaving labor costs, adoption rates for the software have been less than impressive over the last few years. "Historically, LMS was the purview of large facilities with 200 or more workers, with the grocery segment being a particularly large user of these systems," says Dwight Klappich, research vice president for Gartner, Inc. "And as this history shows, LMS implementation costs have just been easier to justify with larger labor forces."
But that sentiment could change, says Klappich, as more software vendors offer LMS as part of their supply chain software suites—and as companies across the board strive for improved labor management practices. "Demand for labor management is up, and at the same time the solutions have become more achievable for a wider array of companies," he says. "As a result, we could see more companies turning to LMS."
While business activity is picking up nationally, the number of jobs isn't increasing to meet that growth. Calling this phenomenon a "people-less" recovery, Klappich says companies are using technology like LMS to maintain growth without having to add new employees to the roster.
"LMS is a key productivity tool that addresses labor, and is particularly relevant for logistics professionals that want to be able to do more work with the same number of people, or fewer," Klappich says. To help companies achieve that goal, LMS creates an environment where worker productivity can be monitored, and adjusted accordingly, to ensure that all employees are performing optimally, and as efficiently as possible.
Over the next few pages, we'll look more closely at the LMS market and the key issues pushing its adoption inside the four walls as well as in the driver seats of the nation's private fleets. We'll also introduce you to a national waste management firm that's managed to get its arms around driver tracking to create a leaner workforce as a result of its labor management process.
All eyes on labor
In most cases, LMS is used to manage what's going in within the four walls of a warehouse or distribution center where the highest number of opportunities to track and control labor costs exist.
"There's so much labor concentrated in the warehouse, and many opportunities to optimize those labor activities," explains Marc Bessho, consulting manager at supply chain advisory firm Capgemini. "There's also room for cost reduction and asset utilization—both of which can be tackled by an LMS."
Klappich concurs, and says vendors like Kronos, Red Prairie, and Manhattan Associates have all honed their LMSs—either standalone, or as part of a larger supply chain software platform—to the point where implementations result in improved human capital management, and better oversight on important factors like time and attendance.
Supply chain organizations that implement LMS frequently experience a "pretty massive upside in return for their investments," according to Bessho, although convincing logistics managers of that ROI isn't always easy. "Sometimes it's a hard sell," he says. "What many companies don't realize is that by putting key performance indicators (KPIs) in place to measure worker inactivity, they can gain 30 percent to 40 percent improvements in utilization within the warehouse."
Couple those gains with the productivity gains that result when a shipper achieves better workforce visibility, and the pay-for-performance associated with engineering labor standards, says Bessho, and the case for LMS becomes even more compelling.
"Using an LMS, companies can track and report on individual performance, and then compare actual versus standard performance," says Clint Reiser, a research analyst with supply chain technology consultancy ARC Advisory Group. "Using that data, shippers can keep a closer eye on employees and work processes, and use that feedback to make improvements, manage processes more effectively, and create incentive-based programs."

Midway continues sewer improvements
Published: Wednesday, February 6, 2013 at 1:18 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, February 6, 2013 at 1:18 p.m.
Midway officials continue to improve their sewer system in hopes to spur additional economic development.
The Midway Town Council this week accepted a bid from Stokesdale-based Yates Construction for $63,947 to complete a sewer extension under Hickory Tree Road. Yates Construction, which had the lowest bid, was one of four companies vying for the project, which will provide sewer to the Midway Town Center, one of the town's shopping centers, said Ryan Ross, Midway's town administrator.
The Midway Town Center and its owner, Zeno Marshall Jr., are hoping to benefit from the sewer extension.
Marshall hopes the sewer will entice businesses, such as a restaurant, to move into one of his three remaining spaces. Marshall said the shopping center said restaurant owners have not wanted to locate in the Midway Town Center because it is on a septic system. Health department officials have said certain types of businesses would cause too much usage on the current system, he said.
"It opens the doors for new opportunities for us," Marshall said, noting his shopping center has nine spaces filled.
Ross said the highest bid for the sewer extension came in at $163,016. He said the sewer extension, which is expected to be completed in May, will begin phase two of Midway's first sewer system.
Midway finished its first phase in late 2011. Construction for the sewer line started Oct. 27, 2010.
The town's first sewer line ran from the south end of Midway, up the east side of U.S. Highway 52 to Hickory Tree Road. From Hickory Tree Road, the line runs to Old U.S. Highway 52 and eventually connects and ends at Gumtree Road.
The new line has accomplished what it was set out to do. Two of the town's acquisitions in the Midway Commons shopping center on Hickory Tree Road related to the 2011 sewer improvements have been Badcock Home Furniture & More and Walmart Express.
"Hopefully the same thing will happen at the (Midway Town Center)," Ross said.
Ross said there is not a plan of what town officials will tackle for future sewer improvements after the extension is completed. He said town officials will evaluate and determine what is beneficial.

Sorry, 18-year-old models. You can take your smooth, taut skin and step to the back of the line. The Guardian of London reports that today's fashion brands are looking to more mature women to sell their goods. Exhibit A: Angela Lansbury.
OK, so it's not as though there still isn't plenty of room for youth in advertising campaigns. But Lansbury, 86, is on the current cover of Brit pub The Gentlewoman; a 62-year-old model stars in the fall-winter Lanvin campaign; and the MAC Cosmetics collection modeled by Iris Apfel, 91, was a sellout, according to the newspaper.
Even American Apparel, a fave among the hipster set, used a 60-year-old model in a campaign this year, The Guardian adds.
"It's great when women who are not ordinarily included in mainstream media are featured purely because they're great rather than representing some awful theme, like the 'Age Issue,' " The Gentlewoman editor Penny Martin tells the newspaper. "Editing a women's magazine is a bit like planning a fantasy house party, full of women you admire."
Is it just us, or are you suddenly dying for a Murder She Wrote marathon?

Driver Training for Three Exam Failures
Driver's license applicants, including CDL drivers, who fail the knowledge or behind-the-wheel examination three times will be required to successfully complete the applicable knowledge or in-vehicle component of a driver education course before they can take the examination a fourth time.
- Persons failing the knowledge test must take the classroom component of driver education.
- Persons failing the road test must take the behind-the-wheel component of driver education.
Classes taken at a driver improvement clinic do not meet this requirement.
About Driver Training/Education Programs
Driver education programs are available statewide to students, adults and out-of-school youths. Public and private school programs are approved by the Department of Education. Driver training schools follow the same course content and are licensed by DMV.
The program consists of 36 fifty-minute classroom periods of instruction and 14 fifty-minute periods of in-car instruction (7 periods of driving and 7 periods of observation).
If you are unsuccessful in passing the exam a first and second time, before re-taking the exam, study the driver's license manual; if you hold a learner's permit, practice your behind-the-wheel skills with a licensed driver or a driver training instructor. Additionally, if you failed the exam three times, you must complete the driver education class after your third failure.
Driver's Manual Course
The Driver's Manual course is available for adults age 19 and older who have failed the knowledge test three times. The program consists of an 8-hour classroom course based on the Virginia Driver's Manual. The course is designed to better prepare individuals for the test at DMV.
You can find a list of schools offering this course at Driver's Manual Course Training Sites.

"You can play or you can transcend. You can go as far, there's no boundaries how far you can go in your own body and how far your mind can expand while you are playing and Jimi showed me that... I learned that from Jimi." - Neil Young, inducting the Jimi Hendrix Experience into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, 1992
James Marshall "Jimi" Hendrix, was born Johnny Allen Hendrix on November 27, 1942 in Seattle Washington. Hendrix's first studio recording was in March 1964, on the Isley Brothers' track "Testify." From 1964 to 1966, Hendrix recorded and toured with a number of artists from Arthur Lee of Love to Little Richard, Ike & Tina Turner and King Curtis. In September of 1966, Hendrix went to London with Chas Chandler of the Animals, who was instrumental in forming the Experience.
The Jimi Hendrix Experience formed in London in October 1966, and was composed of singer, songwriter and guitarist, Jimi Hendrix, bassist and backing vocalist Noel Redding and drummer Mitch Mitchell.
The Experience didn't come into prominence in the United States until their 1967 performance at the Monterey Pop Festival, where the band's performance ended with Hendrix infamously setting his Fender Stratocaster on fire and smashing it. The band recorded five hit singles, "Hey Joe," "Purple Haze," "The Wind Cries Mary," "Burning of the Midnight Lamp" and "All Along the Watchtower," and three albums Are You Experienced, Axis: Bold as Love and Electric Ladyland.
During the 1992 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony in New York City, a tribute to the Jimi Hendrix Experience spoke volumes about Hendrix and the band's influence on the history of rock and roll. In this performance of "All Along the Watchtower," some of rock and roll's powerhouses take the stage – all clearly touched or influenced by Hendrix: Johnny Cash, The Edge, Steve Cropper, John Fogerty, Jimmy Page, Keith Richards, Santana and Neil Young, along with Noel Redding on bass and Mitch Mitchell on drums.
"All Along the Watchtower" is a song originally written and recorded by Bob Dylan on the 1967 album John Wesley Harding. The Jimi Hendrix Experience version was released sixth months later and became a Top 20 single in 1968. The song was included on the album Electric Ladyland and first released as a single on September 21, 1968. The b-side of the Hendrix single version was "Burning of the Midnight Lamp" in the U.S. and "Long Hot Summer Night" in the U.K. The single reached number five on the British charts and Number 20 on the Billboard chart. Upon hearing the Experience's version, Dylan described his reaction: "It overwhelmed me, really. He had such talent. He could find things inside a song and vigorously develop them. He found things that other people wouldn't think of finding in there. He probably improved upon it by the spaces he was using. I took license with the song from his version, actually, and continue to do it to this day."
Jimi Hendrix's influence cannot be understated and the Experience was not only the vehicle that helped Hendrix reach creative heights, but also were all incredible, innovative musicians in their own right. Hendrix successfully experimented with, developed, perfected and innovated guitar techniques such as amplifier feedback, the wah-wah pedal, tonally exaggerated and complex guitar solos, stereophonic phasing effects in recording and the use of legato. According to Rolling Stone: "Hendrix pioneered the use of the instrument as an electric sound source. Players before him had experimented with feedback and distortion, but Hendrix turned those effects and others into a controlled, fluid vocabulary every bit as personal as the blues with which he began."
In addition to his innovative sonic contributions, Hendrix synthesized many different styles, influencing a variety of popular music genres. Along with other of his contemporaries, Hendrix established a technical but sonically heavy bend to rock music, which eventually led to hard rock and heavy metal. He elevated blues to a whole other level and had a great influence on the development of funk. His influence extends to hip hop artists, who have covered and sampled his sound. Hendrix forever changed the way that the guitar would be approached. As the May 2012 issue of Guitar Player magazine noted: "He changed everything. What don't we owe Jimi Hendrix? For his monumental rebooting of guitar culture 'standards of tone,' techniques, gear, signal processing, rhythm playing, soloing, stage presence, chord voicing, charisma, fashion and composition? ... He is guitar hero number one."

Name: Brian Dawes
Year in Program: GY1
Undergrad University: University of Illinois at Urbana
Mentor: Alex N. Freiberg, PhD
Graduate Program: Microbiology and Immunology
The career development of an MD-PhD student is critically important and extends out well past the date of graduation with the dual degrees. The UTMB MD-PhD Program carefully guides and nurtures students throughout the Program. Early in the Program, critical issues are mentor selection and choice of a graduate program. MD-PhD students meet regularly with a faculty advisor, a student "big sibling" and members of the advisory committee. Opportunities to be exposed to research opportunities are provided through Program activities as well as the scientific activities on campus. Most students do their initial laboratory rotation during the summer before starting medical school. Additional laboratory rotations can be completed during the summer before the first and second years of medical school and after the second year of medical school. Once students are established in their labs, they are guided through their research by a mentor and dissertation committee.
For MD-PhD students, selection of the dissertation committee is essential and our Program requires students to include a member who is an MD scientist who can provide guidance on career progress and residency selections. As thesis defense approaches, students design their optimal clinical experiences with members of the MD-PhD committee to maximize chances to obtain the types of residency training that will be most compatible with further development as a physician scientist. The Program runs career guidance seminars to alert students to many of the important issues, pitfalls and milestones that they will need to navigate in the future. These include the pros and cons of short-track residencies, the need for additional postdoctoral training, and how to select and negotiate a first faculty appointment. The UTMB MD-PhD graduate is thus well positioned to make the most out of the advantages that MD-PhD careers offer.

ZF-4284: Allow the specification of connection timeouts for network Protocols
It's a critical oversight imo, that the Zend_Mail classes do not permit the specification of a timeout value when using network-connect protocols.
As example reference, consider
Zend_Mail_Protocol_Imap on line 88:
$this->_socket = @fsockopen($host, $port);
should be replaced with a call that includes a timeout variable that can be set in the transport config.
$errno = "";
$errstr = "";
$this->_socket = @fsockopen($host, $port, $errno, $errstr, $this->THE_TIMEOUT );
In addition, the $errno and $errstr variables should be leveraged to provide better error reporting, eg:
$this->_socket = @fsockopen($host, $port, $errno, $errstr, 10 );
if (!$this->_socket) {
* @see Zend_Mail_Protocol_Exception
require_once 'Zend/Mail/Protocol/Exception.php';
throw new Zend_Mail_Protocol_Exception( 'cannot connect to host : ' .$errstr );
This is easy to implement, and may provide more salient error reporting than 'cannot connect to host'.
Solved in SVN r12480
Changes on constant name in SVN r12539. Because protocol can be recognizable by the class name.
Changing issues in preparation for the 1.7.0 release.

Edible Easter grass was something that first appeared a few years ago. When I first heard of it, I thought that it was a cool idea. I mean really, why would an extra edible something in your Easter basket be a bad idea? I obviously didn't think about this rationally, but more like the sugar junkie that I am. Oops.
I first saw the Easter grass in Target last year. It was in a very plain, non descriptive package and came in only two flavors: cherry and green apple. Not being a fan of either, I figured that cherry was a safer bet and used my courage to take the odd looking stuff home. I don't remember too much after that, other than I tasted it and promptly spit it out.
This year I saw the edible Easter grass again, but this time in Wal-Mart (bad sign?) by a different company and in more flavors. The package is actually very attractive, with an eggs shaped window showing the grass inside and surrounded by butterflies and bunnies. "Imported from Germany" is printed in large yellow lettering on the front, and I'm curious as to why this should have any bearing on the actual product. If it's foreign, maybe that makes it taste better? I don't know.
I picked up the Orange flavor since out of all the options, I thought that this would taste the best. The grass is pretty to look at, it really does look and feel like Easter grass, even though it's a little stiff. The ingredeitns read as such:
"Potato starch, corn starch, modified corn starch, artificial flavors, acesulfame potassium, aspartame, artificial color (yellow 5, red 40, blue 2)"
The strands are square shaped and are about ten inches in length. They smell lightly sweet. The texture is light and airy at first, then they get sticky and gummy as you start to chew. The flavor is so very faint, with only a slight orange flavor. The main flavor is of cardboard and starch, and I'm reminded of communion wafers. So they're pretty bland, but not putrid like the cherry kind from the year before.
As stand-along Easter grass, it works fine, but the real thing is much cheaper.
