Tommy Lee Jones
San Saba, Texas
"You just look for good parts and good stories and a good company to work with. Characters with no integrity are just as interesting as characters with lots of integrity."
- Tommy Lee Jones
Tommy Lee Jones is a Hollywood flick mainstay. But what's so refreshing about this old-timer is that he is also incredibly down-to-earth, spending lots of time on his cattle ranch in Texas.
Tommy Lee Jones is best known for his roles in The Fugitive (and its sequel, U.S. Marshals), JFK, No Country for Old Men, In the Valley of Elah, Batman Forever, and the two Men in Black flicks. He won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role in The Fugitive and was nominated for two others (for his roles in JFK and In The Valley of Elah). He has also received other accolades for his acting and directing work.

He has also received other accolades for his acting and directing work.
On-screen, Tommy Lee Jones doesn't play romantic leads, but we can't help but notice his entourage of sexy costars. We've seen Charlize Theron, Kelly MacDonald and January Jones (no relation) in his movies, as well as Cate Blanchett and Ashley Judd. If he's complaining, we just can't seem to hear him.
As an actor, Tommy Lee Jones can claim an Emmy and an Oscar to his credit, to go along with his various nominations. As a director, he won the admiration of Cannes with his debut feature film. All in all, it's not bad for a Harvard English alumnus who thought he'd give acting a shot. Needless to say, his old college roommate, Al Gore, is certainly impressed with Tommy Lee Jones' achievements.
Tommy Lee Jones BiographyTommy Lee Jones was born on September 15, 1946, in San Saba, Texas. His mom, Lucille Marie, was a former police officer while his father, Clyde, was a regular on the oil fields. Tommy Lee Jones proved to be an exemplary student and athlete at Robert E. Lee High School and St. Mark's School of Texas, where he earned a scholarship to Harvard. Once there, Tommy Lee Jones studied English, played football and lived on campus with his roommate, Al Gore.
In 1969, Tommy Lee Jones left Harvard for New York City to try acting. He began on Broadway, which led to a film role in 1970's Love Story. TV roles followed, and Tommy Lee Jones soon landed the role of Dr. Mark Toland on ABC's popular soap opera One Life to Live. After five years on the show and guest spots on Charlie's Angels and Baretta, a prosperous future on TV wouldn't have been out of the question, but Tommy Lee Jones opted for more films instead.
tommy lee jones in the fugitive and men in blackAlthough he was Emmy-nominated for 1982's The Executioner's Song, Tommy Lee Jones had yet to find the breakout role that would kick-start his career. In fact, it didn't arrive until 1991, when he was Oscar-nominated for playing the mysterious Clay Shaw in Oliver Stone's JFK. After a villainous turn in 1992's Under Siege, Tommy Lee Jones suited up as tireless detective Sam Gerard, winning the Best Supporting Actor Oscar in 1993's box office smash The Fugitive.
For the rest of the '90s and into the 2000s, Tommy Lee Jones turned up in a string of hits. Fans might point to his turns as the unlucky warden in Natural Born Killers, the deranged Two-Face in Batman Forever or the astronaut Hawk Hawkins in Space Cowboys as their favorites, but Tommy Lee's biggest hits came from elsewhere. As the no-nonsense Agent K, Tommy Lee Jones proved to be Will Smith's ideal partner in the 1997 and 2002 Men in Black films, which grossed a combined $1 billion worldwide.
tommy lee jones in no country for old menWith enough box office loot to satisfy him for several lifetimes, Tommy Lee Jones turned his attention to directing and acting in movies on a smaller scale. The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada, about a ranch hand paying respects to his best friend, marked Tommy Lee Jones' feature film directing debut, and it earned him a Best Actor award and a Golden Palm nomination at the 2005 Cannes Film Festival. He also played a scheming businessman in 2006's well-received indie A Prairie Home Companion.
2007 was a double success in Tommy Lee Jones' career. First, he was Oscar-nominated for his role as an officer investigating his son's disappearance after serving in Iraq in the film In the Valley of Elah. Tommy Lee Jones also showed up as a sheriff in the critically acclaimed No Country for Old Men. He also appears in the flick In the Electric Mist, as a Cajun detective investigating a murder in New Orleans.

Penn State Fayette partners with Saveetha University in India
3/4/2010 —Penn State Fayette, The Eberly Campus has formed a partnership with Saveetha University of India to assist in the education of nursing students from that university. Saveetha University founder and Chancellor Dr. N.M. Veeraiyan and Vice Chancellor Dr. R. Rajagopal visited Penn State Fayette in late February to tour the campus, meet with faculty and to sign a memorandum of agreement to launch the new venture.
Saveetha University is located in southern India in Chennai, the fourth largest city in the country. This partnership in education will allow nursing students attending Saveetha University to attend Penn State Fayette for their third and fourth years of study and earn a bachelor of science degree in nursing from Penn State. Penn State Fayette Chancellor Emmanuel Osagie has been working with Saveetha University and high-level administrators at Penn State's University Park campus for several years to bring this collaboration to fruition.
Osagie explains, "This is groundbreaking progress for the Fayette campus, its faculty and students. The partnership illustrates how our campus can step into the Global Village and make important connections. It does not suffice anymore to just educate students locally. Students need to learn how to work in other cultures and different places around the world. Not only does this venture bring nursing students from India to our campus in Fayette County, it opens opportunity down the road for our faculty and students to go to Saveetha University."
Very pleased with the arrangement, Veeraiyan says approximately 160 nursing students are admitted to Saveetha each year, and the opportunity to study at Penn State Fayette will be available to 10 to 15 of the best nursing students annually beginning in 2012, after they complete their first two years of college education in India. "It is important for our students to have some international exposure," he stresses.
The arrangement is for a 2+1+1 degree program, where nursing students enrolled at Saveetha University will take a pre-approved series of general education and nursing courses for two years. They will then apply for enrollment at Penn State. Those accepted will spend their third year at Penn State Fayette to complete their associate degree in nursing and take the exam for their registered nurse licensure. Their fourth year also will be at the Fayette campus to earn their bachelor of science in nursing.
Melissa Minor, senior instructor of nursing and Nursing Program coordinator, says her department is excited to be part of this forward-thinking collaborative endeavor. "The nursing students from Saveetha University will transition without deficiencies into the Penn State Nursing Program. This is because Saveetha University also embraces a hands-on learning environment with emphasis on evidence-based and holistic nursing practice."
Saveetha University was founded by Veeraiyan as Saveetha Medical and Educational Trust in 1986. The institution added Saveetha Dental College in 1988, and its College of Nursing in 1992. The institution continued to grow and, in 2005, Saveetha became a university. Today Saveetha University has a medical college, dental college, college of nursing, college of physiotherapy, an engineering college, faculty of engineering and technology, a school of business management, and a law school. Some 4,000 students attend Saveetha, which has baccalaureate, master's and doctoral degree programs. Saveetha's student body includes international students from Malaysia, the Middle East, Australia, and other countries around the world.

The Department of Consumer and Business Services, Occupational Safety and Health Division (Oregon OSHA) will be offering free training sessions to employers and workers in Salem on Thursday January
27 at the Labor and Industries Building (Basement Room C), 350 Winter Street NE.
Safety Training and Your Hispanic Workforce
Thursday, January 27 - 8:00am to Noon
This training workshop, based on materials developed for Oregon OSHAs PESO bilingual training curriculum, teaches participants how to create a safety-and-health culture when language or cultural
barriers exist between managers and employees. The training introduces students to concepts for building a strong training team, involving employees in safety and overcoming potential barriers.
Managing Your Vehicle Safety Program
Thursday, January 27 - 1:00pm to 5:00pm
Oregon data for work-related fatalities between 1993 and 2002 places highway motor vehicle accidents as the largest group of fatal accidents, causing 127 deaths during that decade. Nationally,
the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that highway motor vehicle crashes account for one-quarter of all fatal work injuries.
The workshop covers creating and maintaining a driver safety program, vehicle safety, fleet management safety, accident investigation and material handling. Participants also review the Oregon
OSHA safety requirements for commercial and industrial vehicles. Oregon OSHA safety regulations address both commercial vehicles - such as cars, pickups, flatbed or dump trucks, public utility
trucks, work crew vans or worker transport buses - and industrial vehicles meant for non-highway use including loaders, lumber carriers and forklifts.
To register for the training workshop, fax your request on company letterhead to (503) 947-7462 or register on the Oregon OSHA Web site, www.orosha.org
under Education. For questions about Oregon OSHA training, call (503) 947-7443 or call toll-free within Oregon, (888) 292-5247, Option 2.
Oregon OSHA is committed to partnering with employers and workers to keep Oregons injury rates low, and workers compensation costs under control. One of the best things an employer
can do to prevent injuries is to properly train employees. Oregon OSHA offers free training, free safety and health consultations, and education and training materials from the OR-OSHA Resource
Center. Keep your employees and workplaces safe through a commitment to training, education and elimination of hazards.
As Oregon's economy improves, safe jobs are smart business. More information and resources are available on Oregon OSHA's Web site, www.orosha.org

"I feel privileged," Barnes said. "It's a nice opportunity to serve after living her for almost 40 years."
Councilmember Claudia McMullin remarked during his Dec. 5 interview that it has been years since a developer has applied for the Planning Commission.
"I definitely think it's a perspective that's always been lacking on the commission. So I'm glad you came," she said.
Barnes has been a Park City resident for 38 years and has been in the real estate business since then.
"I've watched it go from a two-lane road in to what it is today," he said. "I have a love for the business and for this town."
Barnes was involved in the initial development stages of Newpark, but said he doesn't believe his work there or anywhere else will create a conflict of interest.
"If there was something that was a conflict, I would disclose any involvement I've had and let the board decide," he explained.
Councilmember Chris Robinson questioned how Barnes could shift gears and view county development and planning from a community perspective after spending so many years viewing it from the developer's side.
Barnes responded that he knows how the code works and how to evaluate things when people come in. "If there is a clear understanding of the code, and what you can and can't do, you will do a parcel of property with the proper perspective.
Barnes added that he has the depth of experience from watching the codes change, development change and the matrix of the town change.
"I intimately know from building a lot of communities what does and doesn't work," he said.
Barnes said he also prides himself on getting along with everybody, and is able to put the Snyderville Basin Development Code first while making decisions fair and not antagonistic.
"I was very privileged in that as my partners and I went about work, if we made a mistake we made less money than if we did it right, so it was a very forgiving learning curve," Barnes said. "I love Park City. And I'm here to stay."

The infectious originality of their songs is a badge of honor and key to the band's creativity, their urgency. They infuse punk rock with Celtic instruments—violin, mandolin and the accordion—and they merge blues progressions with grinding guitars and traditional Irish music.

Hi everyone! I know I'm reviewing a lot of TBS products these days, but these reviews had been long pending. I'm reviewing the Satsuma shower gel from TBS in this post.
About The Body Shop Satsuma Shower gel*: This soap-free shower gel contains zesty satsuma essential oil and has a refreshing citrus scent.
· Lather-rich
· Refreshing citrus scent
Price:Rs. 340 for 250mL
Packaging: The Body Shop Satsuma Shower gel comes in a huge, see-through plastic bottle, with a translucent-white flip-top cap. the flip-top is sturdy, and the product does not spill out of the bottle while travelling, though it would be better to transfer some product to a smaller bottle for travel purpose, since 250mL is a lot of product to be carried in the bag, or buy the travel-sized bottles for travel.
Ingredients*: Aqua (Water) (Solvent/Diluent), Sodium Laureth Sulfate (Surfactant), Glycerin (Humectant), Cocamidopropyl Betaine (Surfactant), Cocamide DEA (Surfactant), Coco-Glucoside (Surfactant), PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil (Emulsifier), Benzyl Alcohol (Preservative), Parfum (Fragrance), Phenoxyethanol (Preservative), Glycine soja (Soybean Oil) (Emollient/Skin Conditioner), Citrus nobilis (Mandarin Orange Oil) (Fragrance), Methylparaben (Preservative), PEG-55 Propylene Glycol Oleate (Surfactant), Propylene Glycol (Humectant), Benzophenone-4 (Sunscreen), Limonene (Fragrance Ingredient), Hexyl Cinnamal (Fragrance Ingredient), Disodium EDTA (Chelating Agent), Citral (Fragrance Ingredient), Butylparaben (Preservative), Ethylparaben (Preservative), Isobutylparaben (Preservative), Propylparaben (Preservative), Citrus reticulata (Fragrance Ingredient), Linalool (Fragrance Ingredient), Citrus dulcis (Orange Oil) (Fragrance/Essential Oil), Sodium Dehydroacetate (Preservative), Citronellol (Fragrance Ingredient), Geraniol (Fragrance Ingredient), CI 15510 (Colour), CI 15985 (Colour).
Consistency/ fragrance: The Body Shop Satsuma Shower gel is an orange colored gel, has a light runny consistency, and it has a very sweet citrus fragrance. The fragrance envelops the whole bathroom in a jiffy, and lingers on even afterwards. Though it stays on the body only for 10-15 minutes.
My experience with The Body Shop Satsuma Shower gel: Umm.. I love citrus fragrances, but this one is sweet-citrusy, and though I don't dislike it, I'm not a huge fan either. The fragrance is a bit too sweet and heavy for my liking. It does its job well in cleansing the skin, and leaves the skin squeaky clean, without drying out the skin. My body skin is normal, unlike the very oily facial skin, and I do not feel any sort of itching or dryness after a shower with this gel. All in all, it does its job well.
Pros of The Body Shop Satsuma Shower gel:
· Cleanses the skin properly
· Lathers well
· Does not dry out the skin (it is soap free, and contains soya oil)
· Gets washed off without leaving the skin slippery to touch
· Huge quantity in a bottle
· Simple packaging
· Affordable price
Cons of The Body Shop Satsuma Shower gel:
· The fragrance may be a bit heavy for those with a sensitive nose.
· Contains parabens
· Bottle may be difficult to travel with
Verdict:If you love sweet citrus fragrances, do check this out.
Rating:9/10 (-1 for the heavy fragrance)

Pet Safety, Freedom & Affordability In Handsome Pet Seat Belt
My pooch generally sleeps while I drive, which delights me because if he wasn't sleeping, he'd be back-seat driving like every other passenger in my car. Problem is, he does get up and walk around the back of my SUV occasionally, especially when wild smells whiz by his whiffers. Until now, I never found a safety belt that would accommodate my dog's movements and still offer plenty of security in case the car in front of me comes to a short stop... (ahem)
Hammacher Schlemmer carries this Pet Seat Belt, which is perfect for our set-up. It actually attaches to a seat's seat belt, so when that stupid car in front of you slams on its brakes, you follow suit and your pet doesn't end up in the front seat from the jolt. If he is jerked forward, the car's seat belt locks and his super high-tech safety harness absorbs much of the impact that would normally be transferred to your pet. Notice the fullness of the harness and its wide bands... unlike many safety harnesses which are composed of narrow strips of canvas. Nice big hardware too!
When you're just breezing along on the highway, Hammacher's Pet Seat Belt allows your pet freedom to roam from window to window, as she's wont to do. To sit, to lie down, to stand, to roam, to be safe... what else could a pet ask for but some majestic fashion appeal? It's got that too.
The Pet Seat Belt is affordably priced at $19.95 to 24.95, depending on size, and it comes with Hammacher Schlemmer's lifetime guarantee.(Buy here)
That's the buzz for today!

These are like the ones we have for our dogs and they are so fantastic. My two wander around the back seat and try to come for a visit in the front..of they would if they're not attached. I've also found that other designs allow them to turn around and chew their harness, the piece that attaches them to the buckle, or the seatbelt itself and with this they can't (though hopefully now that they're older, wouldn't anyways).And as you said, they can still lie down to sleep AND stick their faces out the window (well, one can, the other needs a booster because he's too short).
Great post, and I hope others will give these harnesses a try!

Nov. 3, 2000
by Micah Dunham
Unless you've been "down under" a rock lately, you've probably heard of current Husky sprinter Ja'Warren Hooker, one of the six members of the United States' gold medal-winning 4x400 meter relay team -- said to be the fastest team the USA has to offer -- at the recently-concluded Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia.
What you may not have known, however, is that the "four" in 4x400 represents the number of runners in the race, meaning two of the six team members would not be on the track when the starting gun fired. When it came time for the USA coaches to choose the four, they decided to go with experience -- the only element in which Hooker could be found lacking in respect to the others.
So on the night of September 30, Hooker -- along with 110,000 others in attendance at Stadium Australia -- watched Alvin Harrison, Antonio Pettigrew, Calvin Harrison, and Michael Johnson take the gold. He looked on with mixed emotions as his teammates ran to victory. The Husky senior was enamored that the team had won the gold, but disheartened that he had made it all this way and wasn't able to run.
"It was kind of disappointing, but I guess that's all part of being young and competing," the 1998 NCAA 55-meter indoor national champion says.
At the age of 22, Hooker's best years are still ahead of him, a scary thought for his competitors considering what he has already accomplished.
During the 2000 collegiate season, Hooker set two University of Washington records with a 400-meter time of 44.91, and a mark of 20.23 in the 200-meters that broke a 19-year old Husky record and was the 18th-fastest in the world at that point during the 2000 season.
Hooker closed out the collegiate season with 100 and 200-meter titles at the conference meet, Pac-10 Athlete of the Year honors for the second time in his career ('98), and sixth-place finishes in the 100 and 200 at the NCAA Championships.
In July, it was off to the Olympic Trials in Sacramento to try to qualify for the Sydney games.
Hooker proved he was up for the task, running to victory in the 400-meter semi-final in a time of 44.78 seconds, beating out soon-to-be Olympic gold medalists Calvin Harrison and Pettigrew.
By virtue of his victory, Hooker drew a preferred inside lane in the final, lined up next to one of the top athletes the world has ever seen in 1996 gold medalist and reigning world-record holder Michael Johnson, in an event that was not even Hooker's forte.
"I was in lane four and he was in five," he recalls. "The whole situation was a little different, being that I only trained for the quarter (400-meters) for about a month before that. So to go out there, get into the final, and then have somebody like Michael Johnson outside of me was a little stressful."
Needing a top-three finish to ensure a spot on the team, Hooker was quick out of the blocks, and to many people's surprise was leading not only Johnson but the whole field at the 100-meter mark. Unable to keep up that pace, however, against sprinters more experienced at that distance, Hooker ended up finishing 7th with time of 45.05 seconds.
"It's hard when you haven't run that event a lot,"the Husky senior says. "You don't really know your pace and that plays a factor on how you run."
USA coach John Chaplin thought Hooker ran well enough, though, and chose him to be part of the six-man pool for the 4x400 meter relay team.
"Two days after the trials I got a knock on my hotel door and they (Chaplin) told me that I was picked to be part of that pool," he recalls. "It was a blessing. My only goal throughout was to make the relay team, so I got what I wanted."
Upon arrival in Australia in September, Hooker quickly took a liking to the Olympic Village.
"It was crazy because it had everything," the first-time Olympian says. "There wasn't a thing that you had to leave there to get. You could get a haircut, go to McDonald's -- they even had a mall. I had a good time there. I met a lot of cool friends there that I am going to keep for life. Australia is a great place."
The overall experience was invaluable, and Hooker knows that not being able to compete will only make him work harder in the upcoming years, but for now he's going to take a break after basically eight-straight months of competing and training.
"After the race I was ready to get home," he says. "It had been a long summer. I'm going to take about a month and a half off and relax."
Look out for a more experienced, more focused, and more determined Ja'Warren Hooker. Look out Pac-10, and look out Athens in 2004. The 7th-fastest 400-meter runner in America now has something to prove.

Gross job gains and losses in the third quarter of 2010
May 05, 2011
From June to September 2010, the number of gross job gains from opening and expanding private sector establishments decreased to 6.6 million; gross job losses from closing and contracting private sector establishments increased to 6.4 million. Firms in all class sizes experienced a decrease in gross job gains and an increase in gross job losses in the third quarter of 2010.
The financial activities, utilities, construction, retail trade, information, and other services sectors posted net decreases in employment during third quarter 2010. The manufacturing sector has recorded two consecutive quarters of net employment increases after 15 consecutive quarters of net decreases from third quarter 2006 to first quarter 2010.
The change in the number of jobs over time is the net result of increases and decreases in employment that occur at all businesses in the economy. Business Employment Dynamics statistics track these changes in employment at private business units from the third month of one quarter to the third month of the next. Gross job gains are the sum of increases in employment from expansions at existing units and the addition of new jobs at opening units. Gross job losses are the result of contractions in employment at existing units and the loss of jobs at closing units. The difference between the number of gross job gains and gross job losses is the net change in employment.
These data are from the Business Employment Dynamics program. To learn more, see "Business Employment Dynamics – Third Quarter 2010" (HTML) (PDF), news release USDL-11-0620.

I LOVED this book! And I was surprised that I did. I would not have picked it up myself. I loved learning about another culture and how it works. I loved the variety of characters that became part of the story. I thought the author did a great job showing the main characters growth during the book. She had several growing pains that taught her a lot, but had me feeling sorry for her. I'm so glad that we chose this book and read something a little bit different.
Meredith says
I am so glad you loved this book too! I will admit, I first picked it up and was skeptical. Seemed so far removed than anything I could relate to. But then I so quickly got caught up in this world of ancient Persia carpet-making and I didn't want to leave. I was truly sad when the book ended. I loved the strength she found within herself and it was very cool to watch her grow and mature. Thanks for sharing this great recommendation and off to read The Kitchen House!

Exposing Our Needs
Fifth in a Series
(March, 2003 POL)
Topic: The Law
Text: Galatians 3:26-29
Why is it so difficult for you and me to admit that we have a problem?
We men are chronic at what is almost a gender-oriented disability. We get in our car to go somewhere convinced that we can find our way without specific directions. After wandering around futilely in the general vicinity of our destination, our wives suggest that we stop and get directions, only to fuel in us a greater determination that we know precisely what we're doing. We refuse to get help until finally we're forced to admit that we're lost. Why is it?
Our study workbook in Galatians describes Jill calling out, "Honey, you had better call the repairman. Our TV is on the blink again."
"Who needs a repairman!" Ron replies confidently. "I can fix it myself."
Four hours later, "There, that should do it." As Ron plugs it in, there is a loud buzzing noise, smoke rises from the TV, the lights begin to flicker, and then darkness blacks out the room.
"Uh . . . maybe you're right, dear," Ron says sheepishly. "I suppose calling a repairman couldn't hurt."
Whether we're dealing with frustrating but not so crucial issues like these all the way to those debilitating addictions of drugs, alcohol, sex, power, and greed that hold us in their stranglehold, we somehow think that we can solve the problem ourselves. We learn that when it comes to addictions, you and I are helpless to solve them on our own without the help of our "higher power."
This is precisely what the Apostle Paul is addressing in Galatians 3:15-29 as he continues to deal in this doctrinal section of chapters three and four with the theme of Grace and the Law.
The bottom-line thesis is that the Law is there to confront you and me with our need of outside help and then to point us to Jesus Christ as the only one who can give that help.
He is the one who gives the best directions. He is the one who is the true repairman. He is our "higher power" who can do for us what we cannot do in our own effort.
Last week we saw the Apostle Paul as he gave the personal argument for the importance of grace, not law, to be prevalent in our lives. He called those Galatians "foolish" who had been "bewitched" into exchanging the freedom which was theirs and the amazing grace through Jesus Christ to shift gears from faith in Jesus Christ alone to salvation by works.
He then gave the scriptural argument, going back to passage after passage in the Old Testament, emphasizing that if we are to live under the law we have to obey every aspect of the law. But even the Old Testament Scriptures talk about justification being through faith in God, going all the way back to the Garden of Eden, and then specifically to the case study of Abraham who pre-dated the Law of Moses by hundreds of years. Galatians 3:6-14 not only mentions the righteousness that was credited to Abraham through faith, but hammers away on both Old and New Testament statements to declare without question that we are justified by faith, not by works. We are clothed in the righteousness which Christ earned on our behalf on the cross. Not by our feeble efforts at earning a righteousness based on our adherence to the Law.

When Scandal Erupted on YouTube, McDonald's Tweeted Back
McDonald's faced an onslaught of criticism in social media as a video went viral showing the beating of a transgender woman in one of its Baltimore area restaurants. McDonald's tried to answer its critics -- although it's hard to see that its response did much good.
Chrissy Lee Polis, a transgender woman born male, was beaten in the middle of a Rosedale, Md., McDonald's April 18, after attempting to use the ladies room. An employee recorded the whole incident on a smartphone camera and could be heard laughing, while other employees stood idly by. The video was posted to YouTube.
The two girls who committed the assault were later arrested, and the local franchisee fired the employee who operated the camera.
Even after the video was deleted for violating YouTube's terms of service, copies of the video surfaced elsewhere and word of it spread rapidly.
TV news reports followed. In a Baltimore Sun video, Polis gave her account of the attack.
Bloggers and members of social media sites began posting links to the video and commentary on the ugly behavior of the assailants and the bystanders, and on what many deemed McDonald's inadequate response.
Online, McDonald's response began with a Twitter post from @McDonaldsCorp: "We are shocked by the video from a Baltimore restaurant showing an assault. This incident is unacceptable, disturbing and troubling."
Then the company responded to one of its critics: "@Echostar_7 We r shocked by this video. It's unacceptable, disturbing & troubling. We r working w/ franchisee & police 2 investigate"
McDonalds followed up in 140-character increments, repeating the same or similar messages, including: "There's no room for violence under the Golden Arches & our thoughts are with the victim. Action has been taken: http://mcd.to/fMcjCr" -- this last including a link to an official press statement of four short paragraphs.
McDonald's Twitter messages show it made the effort to reach out to some of those posting comments and make sure they had up-to-date information on the action that it had taken.
However, critics weren't appeased, and many re-tweeted the corporate posts with their own sarcastic comments.
"I guess they were trying to be responsive but it was a non-answer," Jessica Gottlieb, a Los Angeles-based mom who blogs on family issues, wrote in an email about her Twitter conversation with the company. "I guess by replying McDonalds gives the illusion that they're participating in a conversation."
On its Facebook page, the comments on a post ostensibly about the fast food chain's hiring were taken over with complaints about the response in the beating case. A typical comment: "Fire everone at the MD store!!!! Think you need to hire all new workers for the store that watched the beating..I for one will not eat at any Mcd's until somethinge is done!"
A profile of social media activity compiled by NetBase, a social media analytics company, shows that similar reaction echoed all around the Web, including this discussion comment: "I blame McDonalds for being more interested in sound bites than making sure their employees understand that the way this situation was handled is not in the best interest of the McDonalds brand."
Occasionally, someone would speak up to say that McDonald's could not be held responsible for the action of every employee, or make a distinction between the role of the corporation or the franchisee, or to make some allowance for due process in judging the actions of the employees. But that wasn't the roar of the crowd.
"The NetBase data shows that the social media voice is expressing both frustration and disappointment at the way in which McDonalds has missed the opportunity to demonstrate that they are implementing change, rather than just talking about it," said Lisa Joy Rosner, chief marketing officer for NetBase.
It seems to me, however, that the complaint was less about the medium in which the message was conveyed than the content of the message. McDonald's was responding legalistically, with comments probably vetted by lawyers and human resources experts. It may well have been the only thing they really could say, but it wasn't what people wanted to hear.
The company did not respond to a request from The CMO Site for comment.

The Mora school employees union has filed a complaint against the district, alleging that elementary school teachers were transferred to different positions because they spoke out publicly on a possible reduction in force of the music program.
The prohibited practice complaint was filed with the state Public Employee Labor Relations Board on June 29.

SANTA FE — New Mexico's financial picture is improving and more than $360 million in new revenues will be available in the upcoming budget year, lawmakers were told Thursday.
After several years of budget shortfalls and weak revenues, New Mexico faces the prospect of having additional money that could help restore recent cuts in programs, replenish the state's cash reserves or potentially allow for tax reductions.

Gov. Susana Martinez and a bipartisan group of lawmakers support legislation to allow local governments and the state to ban all fireworks during extreme drought conditions.
Martinez said Friday she will ask the Legislature to approve the proposal during a special session this fall.
Currently, cities and counties can ban the sale and use only of certain fireworks: firecrackers and aerial fireworks, such as bottle rockets.

I moved a crew to a new tank to run for a bit. When i moved them back to the original tank, I have to retrain them on the original tank. If they were 100% on that tank, why do i have to retrain them. Did they forget their training? If you move a crew and then return them to a tank, i think they should keep their original training level on that tank.

you have a point there but in this game they will see that tank as a new tank so they must get use to it once more

It'd be aggrevating, sure, but that's how the game is structured. Lesson learned, no? Next time just hire a new crew to test out the tank and throw them away when ready since they cost nothing.
Wouldn't mind seeing it changed though.

Well, i am assuming that these battles are sped up, as a real tank battle would take hours or days, not 15 mins tops So if it takes 75 battles to train from 90% to 100%, that is probably a good 6months to over a year without being in the other tank. Sure, your skill wouldn't drop to 50 or75%, but it surely wouldn't be what it was. It would take a few battles to get used to it again and eventually become 100% proficient.

I'm configuring a new VPS and after I exported the database from the the older server using phpmyadmin (and using gzip to compress it) I can't import it on the new server.
It states "You attempted to load file with unsupported compression (application/gzip). Either support for it is not implemented or disabled by your configuration.". I saw another post here but couldn't solve it yet.
It's under Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS and running phpmyadmin 3.3.2. Also it says in the upload dialog "Imported file compression will be automatically detected from: None, bzip2, zip" but I can't see gzip there.
I can't make the backup in another format.

Fox News is at it again, this time claiming that President Obama is at a "dead point" in his presidency and in the process, is leading the country to a new form of slavery.
The term "dead point" was coined by Abraham Lincoln when describing a presidency that is at a crossroads with no light at the end of the tunnel. Fox News host Angela McGlowan took the conversation in another direction, this time linking President Obama to slavery by stating that more Americans are now dependent on government than ever before.
"With Lincoln and Barack Obama you do have a slave mentality today. Even though we had the LBJ Great Society, we have a people enslaved on the government dole...We have people paying for people to have more kids out of wedlock, paying for more people to go to prison, instead of getting a job.
So we do have a problem with slavery today, as Lincoln did back in the day. Even with LBJ's policies, because you have certain people that want Obama-phones, free phones, free food stamps, and the whole nine yards."
Fox News has a habit of piling on the Obama administration and often uses information that a major news station shouldn't use. One of the claims made by McGlowan was that people want "free food stamps." While the number of food stamps has increased over the last 5 years, Fox News leaves out that the economy is still recovering from the worst economic meltdown since Republican presidents Warren Harding, Calvin Coolidge and Herbert Hoover led the United States into the Great Depression. Another claim made by McGlowan was that people wanted free "Obama-phones." This popular conservative theory was brought up during the 2012 election cycle, but as Lou Colagiovanni of Examiner.com points out, the program actually started under Republican president George W. Bush.
The anchors on Fox News and the right-wing media only continue to prove that they will attack President Obama and his administration at every turn whether he deserves or not.

I'm not the most plugged in person when it comes to the California wine industry. I'm not a buyer, a salesperson, or a marketer, and certainly have no real visibility into what's going on behind the scenes at any wineries, even with a fair number of winemaker friends.
Consequently, I'm a bit of an outsider when it comes to measuring the impact of this recession on the California wine industry. But the picture that I'm starting to piece together from tidbits here and there is somewhat sobering -- not the calamity that is the U.S. Auto Industry, but certainly what looks like a correction, especially at the top.
In short, it seems that this is a really bad time to have your wines cost more than $100.
Just a few recent data points:
Today I attended a high-end Burgundy tasting. The owner of the distributor putting on the tasting told me that prices were down nearly 20% for these wines (many of which retail for more than $200) and that this was the first time that they ever felt like they needed to hold such a public tasting for wine buyers in order to sell what they had.
Over the weekend I attended the Family Winemakers tasting event, which I have done every year for the past five, and in addition to there being a little less excitement in the air, I noticed the presence of several very-high-end Cabernet producers. These are producers that I've never seen at such a large public tasting before, and certainly producers that in the past haven't had any wine to sell to the public anyway, having all of it snapped up off their mailing lists.
Speaking of mailing lists, I took my own advice recently and signed up to be on the waiting lists of a few wineries whose wines are sold almost exclusively to their mailing lists. Two or three months later, presto! I'm on. These are waiting lists on which people have waited for years before getting a chance to buy a couple of bottles of wine.
And finally, the prices may be coming down. One of the aforementioned high-end Cabernet producers is selling at a 25% discount to last year's release price, and I have heard of a number of other such cuts.
I'm somewhat ambivalent about all of this. On the one hand, people are clearly having a hard time and are definitely suffering financially. On the other hand, I think the wine industry, in particular the high-end of the California wine industry, was as due for as much a correction as the overall economy was. 25% price cuts probably aren't really enough, at the end of the day.
Someone in the industry could better say than I where we are in this correction. Given the slow, cyclical nature of wine, where investments made are not borne out for years sometimes, I wouldn't be surprised if things get a lot worse before they get better. Or perhaps given that margins aren't all that big in the industry, all the pain was felt up front, and as long as the economy continues to improve from this point, there's light at the end of the tunnel.

Bomb Threat at Facebook Headquarters

A bomb threat occurred at Facebook headquarters in Menlo Park last Tuesday night. The threat was announced after a piece of paper was slipped under a person's office door stating a bomb would go off. The campus was then evacuated and the San Francisco Police Department (SFPD) was called around 7:10 pm.
The SFPD then contacted the Menlo Park Police Department (MPPD), who "followed standard operating procedures and sent officers to the Facebook campus and advised Facebook personnel," according to Menlo Park Police Cmdr. Dave Bertini.
While investigating the bomb threat, Facebook employees gathered in the central courtyard until the threat was considered to be "unsubstantiated and not credible" at 8:30 pm. The scene was then cleared and Facebook employees were allowed to leave normally by shuttle buses.
Commander Dave Bertini said, "[He's] not even sure [the threat] was directed against Menlo Park Facebook."
According to the Mercury News, Facebook will soon fund their own full-time police officer that will work at a nearby substation for $200,000 a year. It is hoped that the police officer will improve safety patrolling the Belle Haven neighborhood.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for The Time Is Now to Help, Lake Geneva, WI, USA
The Time is Now is an exceptional organization run by compassionate, intelligent professionals who volunteer ALL of their time for the sake of the less-fortunate among us. Thanks to this organization, there are thousands of stories to be told that start with homelessness, poverty and despair that end with hope and promise for a better life. Everything good you have read about the Time is Now is true. Every penny you give goes directly to those who need it. Like everyone else who knows the founders personally, I am in awe of the depth of their giving of themselves, as well as of funds and services. My favorite story about Sal is how--after a very long day working to help people, he went out after dark to find and rescue an injured Canada goose, and then brought it to a local wildlife hospital for care. True compassion understands that All Life is precious and a miracle. The people touched by the Time is Now are better--not just financially, but spiritually. If you are looking for a very special cause, this is it.

Andrew Sullivan (obsessed by Sarah Palin's uterus while becoming a rabid anti-Semite) is so demented that I would not even think that the Stalinist rag "The Nation" would touch him. In his descent into madness he has mirrored a certain heavy set, double chinned, unemployed jazz guitarist who has dabbled in blogging with varying degrees of success.
by John Nolte
According to a credible source with inside knowledge of the matter, the actual reason Andrew Sullivan and the Daily Beast are parting ways at the end of this month has nothing to do with some high-falutin' "duty to try and see if we could help break some new ground" and "pioneer" a "solid future for web journalism." According to this source, who spoke exclusively with Breitbart News, the powers that be at the Daily Beast decided the traffic Sullivan's Daily Dish delivered just wasn't worth the price of holding on to him for another year.
In other words, the Daily Beast did not renew Andrew Sullivan's contract, and he was let go.
Though Sullivan never came out and said directly that it was his choice to leave the Beast, the carefully worded January 2 post announcing the move most certainly left the impression that the reason for the separation didn't involve him being dumped. Rather, that this was all about Sullivan and his editorial staff making a scary/brave decision to embark on a new adventure involving a completely independent, subscription-based blog:
And so, as we contemplated the end of our contract with the Beast at the end of 2012, we faced a decision. …
The only completely clear and transparent way to do this, we concluded, was to become totally independent of other media entities and rely entirely on you for our salaries, health insurance, and legal, technological and accounting expenses. …
So, as of February 1, we will revert to our old URL – www.andrewsullivan.com. All previous URLs will automatically redirect, so don't worry about losing us. Until then, the Beast has generously agreed to keep us on so we can organize ourselves in time for the launch. In fact, Tina and Barry have been fully supportive of this decision once we made it, although we're all sad to part ways.
The impression is so strong, that David Carr of The New York Times linked to the post Friday and wrote, "On Wednesday, Andrew Sullivan, one of the pioneers of the blogging Web, decided to end his relationship with The Daily Beast[.]"
Except, according to our source, it wasn't Sullivan's decision.
There's no question Sullivan is a popular blogger. The question, though, is among whom and how many? Obviously, the elite media adores Sarah Palin's Primary Womb Detective, as do enough people, apparently, to get Sully Telethon 2013 over the $300,000 mark in a little over 24 hours. But a look at some other data points might help to make sense of the Daily Beast's decision to cut its losses.
For a blogger with a media profile as big as Sullivan's, the fact that he has fewer than 75,000 Twitter followers is a bit surprising. By comparison, Ben Smith has over 125,000, Dave Weigel over 98,000, and Michelle Malkin (who Sullivan has named an unflattering award after) has more than the three of them combined.
Furthermore, a quick scan of the Daily Dish front page, which holds around 40 individual posts, reveals that (as of this writing Friday afternoon) only one post has received more than a hundred Facebooks "Likes," and 24 have fewer than ten. [……..]
Another mystery our source may have cleared up is why Beast proprietor, Tina Brown, would allow Sullivan to stay on a full month after announcing a decision to leave. Allowing Sullivan a full month's perch on her site to raise money for his own operation makes more sense in a situation where it was her decision to part ways, not his.
You can't blame Sullivan for putting the best face possible on the situation. But he's also someone who frequently writes about the special relationship he has with his readers. [……]

Another four-bar linkage flower
Mohamed Ali prepared this video of the four-bar linkage he designed with MechGen to guide the pedals of this flower.
A four-bar linkage flower
Cameron Turner prepared this video of his four-bar linkage flower. At the end he shows the four-bar linkage that drives the pedals.
Four-bar linkage design using Mech Gen
This is the first assignment in my graduate mechanism synthesis class. It is supposed to be a flower with petals that open and close guided by a four-bar linkage. I did not realize that the shape I gave them for the petals would look so scary, but maybe it is appropriate for Halloween. This design was developed by Hsuan-Chen Wan.
Shape-morphing linkages
This is an example of a shape-morphing linkage resulting from the research collaboration James Schmiedeler and Andrew Murray. This is an old design dating to when James was a Professor at Ohio State University. He is now at Notre Dame. Andrew Murray is a Professor at the University of Dayton.

During the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona Intel decided to promote WiMAX in a rather unique way.
They got hold of some segways and equipped them with WiMAX enabled notebooks. It is a real-world demonstration of what WiMAX is really capable of and apparently Intel were even streaming live video from the segways back to their booth at MWC.
So, where do I sign up for one of these?

LUBBOCK, Texas - Texas Tech Lady Raider Plenette Pierson will be the live chat guest tonight on espn.com at 5 p.m. CST.
