She subsequently co-founded Atelier in situ, a multidisciplinary practice based in Montreal. With her firm she has been awarded many awards and distinctions, namely the prestigious Grand Prix d'Excellence 1998 and Prix Orange from the Order of Architects of Québec, for Zone Building, recycling of an industrial building into office space. The firm also won the competition for the Reford Gardens, a collaborative project with landscape architects for the restoration of the gardens, building of an entry pavilion and infrastructure. In 2001, the Canada Council for the Arts bestowed Atelier in situ its most prestigious award in architecture: the Rome Prize.
Her work has been published in magazines, newspapers and books such as Canadian Architect, Parachute, Azure, Le Devoir, Installations, a publications from the Canadian Center of Architecture, The Prix de Rome in Architecture: A Retrospective, Marco Polo ed. and Montreal: A Guide to Recent Architecture.
Exhibitions, installations and furniture provide a variety of means for exploration of architectural ideas. Projections on the Grain Elevator no. 5 in the Old Port of Montréal and Transfert at the Canadian Center of Architecture, offered opportunities to pursue the exploration of site and address the notions of movement and image in architecture through the mecanisms of projections, reflections and transparency. Mapping Rome: Ombra a Roma, used shadows –as interception of light by the urban fabric, to propose an experiential mapping, more based on perception than measurements. This printing work has evolved to include the application of a recent technology –the laser cutter, to the ancient craft of wood block carving.

Surging sales challenge FEI members
Annual meeting brings solutions
Marco Island, Fla.]
Several months of double-digit increases in multi-family new construction has attracted new membership to FEI — a group of the nation's leading flooring and cabinet contractors. It has also afforded members the luxury of bringing additional staff to this year's convention held here Oct. 17-19 and solidified its importance to suppliers, according to Dave Gheesling, CEO, FEI Group.
Gheesling added, however, that this surge in sales also poses the greatest challenge for members — something the 300 members attending the annual meeting (a record for the group) came ready to tackle.
"Business is getting better quicker than many are ready for," Gheesling said. "It's painful but not difficult to right size on the way down. The real challenge and pitfall lies in coming back out. You can sell yourself into a world of trouble."
Members spent time at the convention brainstorming and sharing best practices to deal with "the double-edged sword of fast growth," as Jerry Kaelin, vice president of Louisville, Ky.-based Johnson's Commercial Flooring puts it.
"If someone told me last year I was going to double my business, I would have thought my problems were over," he said. "It's not easy to get working capital to add 10 percent to 15 percent growth comfortably. We did a good job on growth but we can't give raises. It's not easy to be winning on one side and losing on another."
Julian Kroll, vice president of Long Branch, N.J.-based Design Floors, received word from the home office of nine new projects while at convention. "I don't know how I'm going to get them done by next week," said Kroll. "I don't even have the administrative personnel to input the work order. I guess it's a good problem to have, but I don't want to hire more people only to let them go in February if things turn backwards again."
Breakout session topics included how to hire better people, manage expenses and renegotiate terms with banks and suppliers.
FEI supplier members, such as Armstrong, Daltile, Johnsonite, Mannington, Mohawk, Shaw and Tarkett, sold "tens of thousands" of square feet of hardwood, ceramic tile, luxury vinyl tile, carpet rolls and cushion during a three hour product showcase.
"We work closely with the membership to go after joint projects," said Rick Willoughby, Mid-Atlantic regional sales manager at Daltile, which was named FEI supplier of the year. "Multi-family is up big the last 18 months and these guys are strong in that arena."
Kim Holm, president of Mannington's residential business, was on hand to unveil Adura TruLoc, a new 3.2mm locking LVT designed specifically for contractors and stocking dealers.
"This is a product with exceptional installation that allows contractors and stocking dealers to hit a price point that beats mass merchants but offers our best-selling designs and warranties," said Holm.
Gail Jones, president of local Coral Springs, Fla.-based Kitchen Art, said she benefits from special pricing but, she added, "For me, the real value is being able to sit down and share ideas with people facing the same issues as myself. "

Our lab is where you compete...
The World's First Skincare Line Designed For The Needs Of Athletes!
Athletic Body Care believes in prevention before infection. Athletic Body Care believes you should be able to play pain free. We know athletes are different.They come into more contact with other bodies, more public workout equipment and more shared locker rooms, than non-athletes. They get more cuts, bruises, chaffing and dry skin than other people. Athletic Body Care understands the special needs of the athlete and we are delivering the world's first complete performance skincare line to fill those needs. Products that protect the athlete's skin, but never hurt its performance with greasy or drying formulas. Products that let the skin breath, perspire and perform. Products that go on fast, but have staying power.
Athletic Body Care Mission
To provide athletes with products that have a purpose, that have been tested and proven to work, at a fair price and to make our brand available with the best possible customer service.
The Genesis Of Athletic Body Care
Adam Page is a Los Angeles area father of two, martial arts school owner and founder of Athletic Body Care Back in 2004, Adam was one of the first athletic professionals to notice the growing problem of harmful germs festering in training facilities and gym locker rooms, leading to the spread of viruses that can bring serious harm to athletes, such MRSA staph infections, ringworm and hepatitis. What brought this problem even closer to home was seeing that his two athletic daughters love to train just as hard and long as his male martial arts students do. Adam looked for a skincare line to protect his daughters and students, but discovered a lack in the marketplace of one that addresses athletes' specific needs -- non-greasy to let skin breath, moisturizing, sanitizing, long lasting and easy to apply.

Is your family out to beat the heat this weekend and enjoy a good movie? Or maybe like many of us you are simply a Marvel fan who has waiting impatiently for the long anticipated release date of Guardians of the Galaxy. Either way, this could be a busy weekend for both the Guardians in the movie and the guardians over kids.
Guardian of the Galaxy is the story of Peter Quill, who was alien-napped after the passing of his mother. We find him many years later as a "junker" though many would disagree and call him a thief. He definitely has some not so friendly friends, who actually wanted to eat him the first time they saw him. Being an enterprising young man he decides to keep the orb he has been task to steal and sell it to the highest bidder. Unfortunately that means he got the attention of Ronin, who is not only out to get the orb and destroy much of the universe but it also means he gets sent to jail for his crimes.
Unlikely prison mates Groot, Gamora, Drax, and Rocket concoct a scheme which gets them out of jail, but not free. They take to the skies with both the law and the lawless after them. A failed attempt to sell the orb gives them the information they need about it, but also brings the evil villain to their location.
Will Star Lord (aka Peter Quill) save the universe with his unlikely guardians of the galaxy? What price will they pay to save the worlds? And what lessons with this ladies man. thief and charmer learn along the way? What will he learn about his past, that will directly affect his future?
Is your little corner of the galaxy ready for Guardians of the Galaxy? It is rated PG 13, and there are some intense scenes of battle, sci-fi action and violence as well as language. A few jokes may be over your child's head, but you may pick up on them - only to hear a little voice chime in "Why was that so funny mommy?" One thing you will most likely take home is a whole "lotta" love for Groot and want to plant one of your own.
Cast and voice talents contain: Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Vin Diesel, Bradley Cooper, Michael Rooker, John C. Reilly, and Glenn Close.
"I am Groot." Are you? You will have to go see the movie to find out.

|Business schools go head-to-head in Biz Quiz National Challenge
In front of television cameras at the WOSU studios at the Center of Science and Industry, teams of undergraduate business students from across the country will test their knowledge of significant business news in a fast-paced quiz show. The event, the Nationwide Fisher Biz Quiz National Challenge, will be held at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 27.
The event at COSI is open to the public. Ticket information is available by e-mailing firstname.lastname@example.com.
Sponsored by Nationwide's Financial Leadership Rotation Program, Fisher and The Wall Street Journal, 18 business schools from the Big Ten, the universities of Texas, Florida, Southern California and New York University are among those competing.
On Friday, Oct. 26, teams will converge on Fisher's state-of-the-art campus for preliminary rounds. Students will compete by demonstrating their awareness of business news, issues and trends as reported in The Wall Street Journal. Quiz questions will be drawn directly from Journal articles that appeared in September and October issues.
"This high-stakes competition will bring together the nation's most talented and high performing undergraduate business school students in an event that is intellectually challenging, exciting and fun," said H. Rao Unnava, Fisher's associate dean for undergraduate programs and the W. Arthur Cullman Professor of Marketing. "Last year's event showcased undergraduate students' intellectual depth and awareness of current events and issues taking place in the global economy and business world. Staying abreast of those issues helps students understand their relevance to lessons in the classroom and provides them with an enhanced perspective as graduates embarking on professional careers."
Students will participate as individuals on three-member school teams in three rounds of competition. The face-to-face action begins at 10 a.m. on Saturday at COSI in two rounds with team play. Teams will race against the clock and each other to be the first to respond with correct answers to questions pulled from Journal articles. The three top-scoring schools will face off in a final showdown before a live television studio audience. Borrowing from the game show format of "Jeopardy," during the final round, teams will sound a buzzer when they believe they have the correct answer. Questions will appear on a large-screen and read by the Biz Quiz emcee, Krishnan Anantharaman, managing editor of The Wall Street Journal Classroom Edition.
Bob Rosholt, chief financial officer at Nationwide, said, "Events like the Biz Quiz appeal to today's high performing college students, yet encourage and cultivate business education. Whether these students realize it or not, their efforts in the Biz Quiz will better prepare them for corporate life after graduation."
The event is designed to be entertaining and enlightening for both contestants and the studio audience. Quizmaster Anantharaman will provide engaging and lively commentary during the competition. He began his professional career at the Journal in New York after graduating from Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism in 1991. He has since worked on various Journal desks as a news and features editor. Based in the paper's Detroit bureau, Anantharaman is in his eighth year as editor of The Wall Street Journal Classroom Edition, the Journal's financial-literacy program for high school students.
"The Journal-in-Education program is delighted to support this worthwhile event and its bright young competitors again this year," said Mark Campbell, director of college marketing for The Wall Street Journal. "We believe The Journal should be an integral part of all business students' education. Its content perfectly serves Biz Quiz's goal of testing students' real-world awareness."
Competition will culminate with an awards luncheon hosted by Stephen L. Mangum, acting dean of Fisher College of Business. Several individual and team prizes will be awarded to students and their schools.

A group of world leaders from U.S. President Barack Obama to British Prime Minister Gordon Brown will be taking to the sea this summer. The Italian government is hosting this year's G8 Summit in La Maddalena, Sardinia -- and has chosen MSC Cruises' 133,500-ton, 3,300-passenger MSC Fantasia to accommodate Obama, Brown and other guests.
The G8, or "Group of Eight," is a group of heads of state and government from eight countries -- France, the United States, the United Kingdom, Russia, Germany, Japan, Italy and Canada -- that meets several times a year to discuss global issues such as foreign affairs, financial affairs, trade, justice, security, the environment, agriculture and labor. The organization actually formed in the early 70's as G6 (all of the above minus Russia and Canada, which joined later). The country holding the G8 Presidency, which rotates yearly among the countries, is responsible for hosting and organizing the meetings that pave the way for the yearly Summit, and the three-day Summit itself. This year, it's Italy's turn.
Aside from the fact that MSC Cruises is based in Italy, why was MSC Fantasia chosen to house G8 participants? One of this year's hot topics is climate change, and because of that, the Italian government has committed to planning a Summit that will have zero impact on the environment. To that end, the selection of MSC Fantasia is apropos: MSC's fleet is one of the greenest afloat, and MSC Fantasia in particular debuted in December 2008 with state-of-the-art energy-saving systems. For example, air-conditioning is regulated by a digital device that takes into account whether the windows and doors are open or closed. Also, its hull is painted with a non-toxic substance that helps lower carbon dioxide emissions through the reduction of fuel.
La Maddalena, the host town for the actual three-day Summit, was also chosen with climate change in mind. Scientists and naturalists frequent the coastline of Sardinia to study its rich ecosystem -- animal and plant species native to the Mediterranean but now extinct elsewhere. The ship will be moored somewhere off the coast of Sardinia for the Summit, which is taking place 8 to 10 July. According to the official Web site for G8, the Civil Protection Department, MSC Cruises and Navy experts are currently surveying the area between La Maddalena and the island of Santo Stefano for a precise mooring point.
At this point, we don't know whether Obama et al will be ensconced in the ship's exclusive, cozy suite complex known as the Yacht Club (though we have to imagine they won't be relegated to inside cabins). An MSC spokesperson in the U.K. could not give any more details "due to security reasons," and could only confirm that the line will indeed host the G8 Summit.

What would pair well with it?
I don't know how creative this is but I usually coat them with ras el hanout and pan sear them and serve with some quinoa or couscous with dried fruit and olives.
I usually do mine like this in the fall/winter"
Otherwise, they would be nice grilled with some asian barbeque sauce and served with a slaw with: cabbage, daikon radish, carrot, onion, mint, soy or fish sauce, garlic, chile paste, and lime.
The ras el hanout idea sounds mouthwatering as well!
I made these last week and they were a big hit: http://www.ian-pix.com...

Texas Tech Comes Back To Win in OT at WVU
Christine Hyde scored 19 points and hit 9 of 10 from the charity stripe.
Jan. 22, 2013
MORGANTOWN, W. Va. -- It took an extra five minutes, but Texas Tech took full advantage, hitting key free throws down the stretch and crashing the boards after halftime to beat West Virginia on the road, 77-73 in overtime at WVU Coliseum on Tuesday night.
Senior Christine Hyde led three Lady Raiders in double figures with 19 points. Monique Smalls added 17 and Chynna Brown turned in 16 - her sixth time in double figures in seven games.
"We felt coming in that we were very similar and had very similar styles," Texas Tech head coach Kristy Curry said. "We were just fortunate to make a few more plays down the stretch. But they're a great basketball team and, like I said, we were just fortunate to make a few more plays."
The win matches the most conference road wins (three) in a season for Texas Tech under head coach Kristy Curry as the Lady Raiders are off to their best start in Big 12 Conference play in eight years.
Tech (15-4, 5-2 Big 12) trailed by as many as 12 in the second half after entering the locker room down 38-29 and getting beat 24-13 on the boards.
The Lady Raiders toughened up on the boards and used a 14-3 run outta the gate to get within one before trading leads nine more times in the final period. Tech would outrebound West Virginia 26-14 the rest of the way while hitting 15 of 20 free throws from the line, led by Hyde's career-high 9 of 10 performance from the charity stripe.
Smalls also was successful in the overtime period, hitting 4 of 5 free throws to close out the win. She ended the night going 10 of 12 from the line and scoring her highest total in Big 12 play this season.
"We were tired last year of losing games and then going back to the stat sheet and seeing that if we made our free throws, we could have won," Hyde said. "So an emphasis this year was to make our free throws because it is the difference in the game."
Another big difference maker was redshirt junior Shauntal Nobles in the final minutes.
Nobles stayed in the majority of the final minutes after junior forward Kelsi Baker fouled out with 3:14 to play. She hit a baseline jumper to keep Tech within striking distance of West Virginia and then grabbed a Smalls layup attempt off the floor to get the putback with seven seconds left and send the game to overtime.
"It was huge tonight," Curry said about the way Nobles played. "I thought our bench in the first half was horrendous and I thought in the second half it was absolutely awesome. (Amber) Battle and Nobles really stepped up off the bench for us in the second half, I thought."
Tech will host TCU at 12 p.m. CT Sunday. The game will be broadcast nationally on FOX Sports Net.

|Offensive Tackle
|Dallas, Texas
|High School:
|First Baptist Academy
|3 Letters
AT COLORADO: This Season (Sr.)�He earned second-team all-Big 12 honors from both the Associated Press as well as the conference coaches. He started all 12 games at split-side tackle and graded out the second highest of all the offensive lineman at 81.5 percent for 726 gradable snaps (he played 764 overall, as the coaches did not grade the Big 12 title game). CU's most aggressive lineman, he was impressed several pro scouts with his play. He had 13 knockdown blocks and touchdown block, allowed three-and-a-half sacks and nine pressures, pretty solid numbers since he had the main responsibility or protecting the quarterback's blind side. The CU coaches presented him with the Regiment Award, which is given to the player they feel has made the greatest contribution with the least recognition. He was CU's offensive lineman of the week for the opener against Colorado State, as he had 10 cut blocks and a touchdown block in posting a monster grade of 88.4, the best single-game grade by any Buff O-lineman in 2004. He also played some on the FG/PAT unit on special teams (seeing action for 12 snaps). He had an outstanding spring and the coaches named him as the recipient of the Joe Romig Award, presented to the team's most outstanding offensive lineman.
2003 (Jr.)�He started all 12 games at split tackle, a pretty good accomplishment considering he moved over from defensive tackle two weeks before the season opener. He actually posted his high game grade of the year the first time out of the blocks, grading to 80.5 percent against Colorado State (77 snaps, 62 plus plays). For the year, he graded out at 72.7 percent for 791 snaps from scrimmage; he had his growing pains, allowing team-highs of seven quarterback sacks and 27 pressures (just four and 11 over the last eight games), but developed as the season progressed as the coaches had desired, setting him up to be the anchor on the line as a senior. He also had 12 knockdowns and one touchdown block; taken into account that he was learning on the run, he was called for only three penalties all year (the same number as CU's four-year senior starter). He had four knockdown blocks against Baylor for his season high, with his touchdown block against Kansas in CU's overtime win.
2002 (Soph.)�He played in all 14 games, making starts in the last 11 including the Alamo Bowl, at defensive tackle. He was moved inside from end, and after adjusting to the position, won the starting job for the fourth game of the year. In 617 snaps from scrimmage, he recorded 38 tackles, including 26 solo and 10 tackles for loss (with five quarterback sacks, second most on the team). He had seven third down stops, five pressures and a fumble recovery. He had a career high five tackles, two for losses, in the win over Kansas State, and had four tackles in five other games. He matched his career high with five stops in the bowl game against Wisconsin, with four of the solo variety including a third down stop. He was suspended from school for the spring semester, as he violated the university's code of conduct, but he was reinstated in good standing by summer. Though he did not participate in spring practice, he didn't miss a beat upon his return in the fall.
2001 (Fr.-RS)�He saw action in eight games, six on defense including the Fiesta Bowl. He played 46 snaps from scrimmage for the regular season, making one solo tackle (at Iowa State) and registering one quarterback pressure (against Missouri). He added a tackle against Oregon in the bowl. He had nine tackles and a quarterback sack in the four spring scrimmages.
2000 (Fr.)�Redshirted; was moved from end to tackle early in drills and practiced the remainder of the year there.
HIGH SCHOOL�As a senior, he earned first-team all-state honors at defensive tackle and earned mention on the Top 100 list by the Dallas Morning News. He was all-district as a sophomore and as a senior, as the Tapps 4A district selected him as the defensive player-of-the-year as a senior (he was second-team all-state as a sophomore). He missed his entire junior year in three sports after tearing his ACL in the final football scrimmage of the summer, but rebounded very well from it in time to play summer baseball prior to his senior year. As a senior, he was in on 120 tackles (40 solo), with 15 tackles for loss including six quarterback sacks. He also had five passes broken up, two forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, one of which he returned for a touchdown, and a blocked punt (which his team returned for a score). On offense, he allowed just two sacks playing strong side tackle. He was in on 90 tackles as a sophomore, and played right tackle on offense. One of his top games came during his sophomore year, when FBHS played perennial state champs Dallas Christian to the end in a 6-0 loss: he had 13 tackles, two fumble recoveries and a sack against Jordan Black, one of the area's top players. First Baptist was 4-6 his senior year and 7-4 his sophomore year under coach Troy Miller. He also lettered as a freshman and sophomore in basketball, and was quite an accomplished baseball player (first baseman): he hit .550 with six home runs as a sophomore. He was a member of Team USA, an all-star team comprised of Texas high school players, and they played in a goodwill baseball tournament in Vera Cruz, Mexico, in the summer of 1999.
ACADEMICS�He graduated from CU with a degree in economics this past December 17.
PERSONAL�Born January 10, 1982 in Dallas, Texas; he was a "halftime" baby, as he was born during halftime of the '81 NFC Championship game between Dallas and San Francisco (San Fran won, 28-27, on the famous Joe Montana to Dwight Clark catch). A great uncle (Ted Wilder) played college football at Iowa. Hobbies include skiing and golf (career best of 80).

Barnsley were given a lesson in Yorkshire League One life when they went down 33-10 at home to Scarborough on Saturday.
The Shaw Laners made a superb start the week before with a win over York but were second best against their east coast visitors.
Scarborough raced into a 13-0 lead with two penalties and an unconverted try. Barnsley, who had nearly scored earlier when captain Dave Reed was held up over the line, got back into the match with tries either side of the break.
Arron Gaunt scored the first by touching down in the corner after a good backs move then Andrew Appleyard jinked past several tacklers to go over. Josh Smith missed both conversions and Scarborough were still ahead at 13-10. The visitors recovered and secured victory with three more tries.

LAS VEGAS - Over a hundred Penthouse Pets and Key Girls kicked off the official opening of The Penthouse Club Las Vegas on Friday, ushering in a new era of gentlemen's club—and one fortunate AVN scribe.
General manager Rick Grand welcomed me at the door with a firm handshake and complimentary cocktail. "Let me show you around," he grinned, knowing that by night's end my hard earned AVN nickels would be lost in beautiful stripper ass.
Sitting on 50,000 square feet, The Penthouse Club is a maze of plush lounges, raised stages, and private VIP rooms boasting personalized sound systems. Every corner turned finds stunning young girls grinding on average Joe laps. "There are between 160 to 200 dancers here tonight," Grand informs me, "and 40 waitresses."
Founded by Scores owner Dennis Degori, The Penthouse Club prides itself on customer service. "The majority of upscale gentlemen's clubs make their patrons feel that they're lucky to have gotten past the door," said Grand. "We are committed to providing our guests with the best experience possible. Dennis believes in providing a place where people can just have fun—even if the girls weren't around. People can meet with friends, and have drinks."
Grand is especially proud of the club's RU702 lounge, a spacious area dedicated to Vegas locals. Along with its private entrance and "on-the-house" first drink, guests receive 2-for-1 drinks all night long and are eligible for a Hedonism vacation package (drawn each month).
As I parted ways with Grand, a sexy little blonde strutted up to me. "Wanna play," she asked.
Half-hour lap dances are $200. An hour session is $400. I thought about how many Juan Cuba movies I'd have to review to make back that scrilla. Well, how bad can Cum Fart Cocktails be anyway?
The Penthouse Club is located at 3525 W. Russell Rd. for more information visit www.penthouselv.com.

Day 361
Vintage For Reals
When my Mom was cleaning out my brothers closet she came upon this old sweater. This sweater just happens to by my Uncles sweater from 1975. Yes, thats right, he wore it when he was 8 years old.
Mom had put it in a pile waiting to go to Good Will. I, however, had other plans for it.
No one believed me that it would fit, but I knew it would.
I wore it to dinner tonight and got so many compliments on it. I love this sweater!
I paired my Vintage look with a long white T, AE Jeans, brown leather belt from Italy and my brown boots. Blue, Orange, Brown. It all works together so perfectly.
Thank God for Vintage Finds!

I have wanted to make a series of posts about interesting local architectural features for a while. In the Annapolis Royal region we are lucky to have a wide variety of styles and features to draw upon. One of these features which always catches my eye is a fanlight. I am not sure if it is the roundness of a fanlight on a building which is all straight lines and angles or the cheerful rising sun effect which appeals to me more. Whichever it is, I am happy to post this selection of Annapolis Royal fanlights.
Quite simply, a fanlight is a semi-circular or semi-eliptical window with mullions radiating out from the center to divide the glass into a fan like shape. Some of the more elaborate variety of fanlights include sections of glass which make the window look somewhat like a rising sun. This type of decoration can be found on top of doors and windows or entirely on their own. Most commonly, fanlights are found as a decorative element over the front door of a house. This was usually done to allow more light into the entry hallway. As you can see in this selection of windows, there is some difference in how the fanlights are assembled and where they are placed. You will also note that they have been used in wood, stone and brick buildings.
All for now,

Secrets of Success
Habits, habits, habits..
Friday, May 10, 2013
Okay, so last year I was completely burnt out from what felt like always being on a diet. I put my scale away for a month, decided to not worry and just focused on a structured schedule with regular meals and portion control. At the end of the month I had actually lost weight without stressing out over counting every calorie and minute exercised.
So now fast forward, I pulled that dratted scale back out and went back to my old habit of weighing every day and if the scale said something positive I would eat more thinking I had the flexibility..sigh..at that point I joined spark because I knew that I needed to get back on track. So what I've found is that I use the scale as a crutch to allow me the flexibility of overeating more on a particular day - very unhealthy!
I want to go back to my newly created habits of regular meals in portion controlled sizes without an allowance for overeating because the scale said it was okay..also, I want to go back to not thinking about food, diet and exercise every minute of the day and focus on living a full life with the healthy part being automatic.
I have officially put the scale away and it will come back out on June 10. For me this is going to be about creating a healthy sustainable lifestyle of normal eating without the crutch of constant weighing. I have a clear idea of what, how much and how I should be eating so I just need to make it habitual.
I read somewhere that it actually doesn't take 28 days to create a new habit..it takes 2 months of consistency. So I am going to shoot for 60 days of consistency..
1. Healthy breakfast every morning ..early (I have the tendency to skip breakfast and rush out the door if I don't focus on this)
2. Teas and lemon water throughout the day.
3. Fruit and soy milk for a night time snack if needed
4. More calories for lunch and then a lighter dinner with room for the night time snack.
5. Enjoyable exercise that I look forward to at least 3 times a week.
Today I've been doing well on the nutrition front. I have my 30 minutes of exercise scheduled for this evening.

Your plan sounds good for you. It always helps to know your own style and what works best. For me the scale is a helpful tool that I use each morning to keep myself accountable. I use my trackers every day but that scale just gives me a way to make sure I am staying on track. If I gain a pound or 2 then I make sure I am extra careful with my eating. (But I don't beat myself up) I say whatever works!

I love your plan! I need to put that damn scale in the basement and out of sight too. It isn't about the number on the scale. That daily number isn't the reward or punishment. It shouldn't guide how we eat! I think I am going to adopt your plan as of tomorrow morning, no more daily weigh in! Thanks for sharing! Keep doing those right things!!!

Storybrooke is about to get some more visitors from Arendelle. Three popular characters from the smash hit Disney film "Frozen" will be appearing on the upcoming fourth season of "Once Upon a Time," and now a fourth character has also been confirmed. On July 22 E! Online revealed that Hans will be in at least one episode of the new season in order to further the story of Elsa, Anna and Kristoff. In the film, Hans was the lovable, young prince that fell for Anna, but had a secret agenda for the future.
The show has a tendency to put a new twist of the characters it features, so it's possible that Hans will have a different relationship with the royal sisters. The role has yet to be cast, but the character is described as a "well bred prince" who desires to be king one day. The characters has been confirmed to appear in episode three of season four and it's possible Hans could also appear in future episodes.
The characters from the popular film were hinted to appear in the season three finale of the show, which showed Elsa slowly appearing about of some blue goo and heading towards Storybrooke. The role of Elsa is being portrayed by actress Georgina Haig, and photos have already surfaced online of her in costume on set. She is dressed in the gown that Elsa wears for most of the movie, and is shown talking to Colin O'Donoghue and Jennifer Goodwin who play Captain Hook and Emma Swan.
Newcomer Elizabeth Lail has landed the role of Anna, but has not been seen on the set yet. Actor Scott Michael Foster, who is well known for the role of Cappie on "Greek," will portray Kristoff who is also Anna's love interest in the movie. It's unclear whether the series will follow the same path and make Anna and Kristoff an item or take the story in a whole new direction. The show creators have already mentioned that the snowman Olaf from the movie will not be appearing on the show.
TVLine posted the news on July 22 that the characters being on the popular fairytale series will not act as a sequel to the film, but a new take on a familiar story. Casting rumors are already flying about Hans, and the third episode should be filming soon since the fourth season will debut in the fall. The fourth season will premiere on ABC on September 28, keeping its Sunday 8 p.m. time slot which has stayed the same since season one. The characters are believed to be the main story arc and possible villains for the first half of the new season.

Did you know some kids don't look forward to school vacations?
Hearing that school is canceled due to weather does not bring joy to every child. In our 2012 national survey of teachers, "one teacher in the Midwest told us, "The saddest are the children who cry when we get out early for a snow day because they won't get lunch."
Here's what you can do about that:

Three common sights currently in Napa Valley
As we drove around the valley today enjoying the bright sun and temperatures in the low 70's, we made a few observations about common sights at this particular time of year.
First off, as we already told you, the mustard is out in full force and, as always, is quite beautiful. We certainly enjoy watching the overzealous tourists who venture deep into a field of mustard to pose for a few pictures, only to emerge with bright yellow stains all over their clothing. Call us evil if you'd like, but we see this three or four times per week.
Second, you'll surely see crews out in the vineyards pruning the vines in order to help prepare them for the next (and rapidly approaching) growing season. Depending on the weather, you'll notice the crews wearing everything from bright yellow rain slickers to jeans and long sleeves with large-brimmed hats to protect themselves from the sun. In just the past couple weeks we've observed both.
Finally, at one point today, we counted no fewer than six large plumes of thick, white smoke emerging on either side of us. No, the valley wasn't on fire, rather it was the controlled burning that happens regularly at this time of year as old grapevines are destroyed.
So there you have it, a few random observations from the heart of the Napa Valley.

As was predicted in December, the Brussels-based European Commission, which had been re-reviewing the proposed Carnival acquisition-merger of P&O Princess, has announced unconditional clearance for the deal. According to a statement from P&O Princess, "this clearance, together with the approval given by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission on 4 October 2002, means that all antitrust consents required for the DLC transaction have now been obtained."
The most recent European Commission review was strictly a formality since the actual structure of the deal, from an outright acquisition to a dual-listed-company agreement, has changed since they first received European Union approval.
Next step? There's one more "official government" review still pending. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is also reviewing the proposed deal -- for the first time -- because of its new format as a dual-listed structure, which is unusual on American shores. A Carnival spokesman anticipates that decision will be handed down in the next month and doesn't expect any problems.
The final step will be the final vote. That comes at shareholder meetings for both companies, which at this point are slated for an early-to-mid April time frame. With approval, the final deal-closing -- in which companies will sign final documents -- is anticipated to occur in April.

The formiddable duo make a fine partnership in their transition to PlayStation 3.
The Jak and Daxter Collection, a compilation of the first three games in the popular platformer series, brings a fantastic remastering of PlayStation 2 classics to the PS3. With high definition graphics, refined gameplay, Trophies and plenty of action, the Jack and Daxter Collection (or Jak and Daxter Trilogy) is certainly a worthy purchase for fans of the genre and original PS2 series.
Three Fantastic PS2 Games In One Pack - The original Jak and Daxter games, thankfully, still hold up, some eleven years after the first game launched. Developer Naughty Dog truly pushed the console to its limits, even in such early days, bringing large, lush worlds and limited loading screens that made for engaging, streamlined gaming that is definitely still impressive by today's standards.
Other recent HD Collections have all had to deal with the prospect of outdated gameplay and graphics, but those issues don't really concern this Collection. The humour still holds, the gameplay is still impeccably solid, and the puzzles are still super challenging. If anything, going back to these games showcases how impressive Naughty Dog can be as a developer, creating a game that still seems brand new over a decade after release.
The games are Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy, a special platformer with plenty of great humour and challenge; Jak 2, a far more darker, heavy-handed and action-packed sequel; and Jak 3, a merciless and challenging adventure that made for a spectacular end to a wonderful trilogy.
Overall, you're looking at three great games with a progressive story, and an amazing twist ending that will stick with you long after the game ends.
Great Upscaling - Unsurprisingly, Jak 2 and Jak 3 certainly outperform the first game in the series. The HD quality is certainly better in these games, making for smoother textures, nicer animations and stunning environments. The Collection overall looks great, but the HD remastering doesn't make these game stands out much above what they originally looked like.
Is The Platformer Still Relevant? - The only thing really holding this Collection back is its worth a platformer. The genre has certainly lost a bit of pace this generation, and the third-person action platform hasn't had anywhere near as much support on PS3 as it did on PS2. That might deter some that are looking for deeper gameplay mechanics and perhaps even multiplayer. That said, the games are still a lot of fun, and are hopefully a lead-in to what will be another Jak and Daxter console game.
It sure is great reliving these great PS2 classics. They are arguably the three best games in the Jak and Daxter series, although seeing the PSP version of Daxter would have certainly made the Collection that little bit more appealing. A fun, funny and challenging collection, Jak and Daxter Collection is definitely worth checking out, whether you played the originals or not.

Security experts don't have the skills to deal with cyber attacks
ISC2 says IT security workers' attitudes to threats do not match what's needed
INFORMATION SECURITY PROFESSIONALS don't have the proper skills to deal with cyber attacks, despite ranking software vulnerabilities as a "top concern", the International Information Systems Security Certification Consortium (ISC2) has reported.
The security organisation's sixth Global Information Security Workforce Study (GISWS) polled 12,000 security experts worldwide and revealed that many don't fully understand the need for security and the industry as a whole.
For example, ICS2 found that 15 percent of firms are not able to put a timeframe on their ability to recover from an attack on their networks and computer systems, even though service downtime is one of the highest priorities for nearly three-quarters of respondents.
The GISWS report also found that almost half of security departments are not involved in software development, and security is not among the most important factors when considering an outsourcing provider for software development. Strange, then, that 69 percent of these companies reported application vulnerabilities as their "top concern".
"Now, more than ever before, we're seeing an economic ripple effect occurring across the globe as a result of the dire shortage of qualified information security professionals we've been experiencing in recent years," said ISC2's executive director W. Hord Tipton. "Underscored by the study findings, this shortage is causing a huge drag on organisations."
The report concludes that the major shortage of skilled cyber security professionals is having a negative affect on companies and their customers, leading to more frequent data breaches.
The report also found that hacktivism (43 percent), cyber-terrorism (44 percent), and hacking (56 percent) are among the top concerns identified by security departments worldwide. However, the report further supports an ongoing trend that, though many organisations are aware of the growing risks of cyber attacks, effectively acting upon them is a different story altogether. µ

The Lemur Conservation Foundation (LCF) is a small non-profit
corporation dedicated to the preservation and conservation of the
primates of Madagascar through captive breeding, scientific research, and
To preserve and contribute to the worldwide genetic pool of lemur
species through captive breeding and to practice the best
conservation possible in terms of both our ex-situ and in-situ
The fact that these animals are free-ranging in the Myakka City
Lemur Reserve year round, makes for easy transfer to a reserve in
Madagascar, should the opportunity arise. The LCF works closely with
its sister reserve in Madagascar, Tampolo Forest Reserve. The
foundation focuses on lemur species that are not already well
represented in zoological parks or other captive breeding programs.
We call these "no room in the ark" species or "orphan" species
because they are not the big, flashy, charismatic genotypes that can
become flagship species for use in attracting wide public interest
and funding. Nevertheless, they should be protected for their
inherent value and their significance to the larger picture of
primate evolution and ecology.
Click here to read
an in-depth article discussing Madagascar's lemurs, their history and
the challenges facing them by one of LCF's scientific advisors, Ian
Tattersall, originally published in Scientific American.
To make the lemur colony available for scientific behavioral
research to learn more about their basic biology and genetic
The research conducted is non-harmful and is subject to approval
by the LCF Scientific Advisory Council. The Reserve has been host
to students from New College of Florida, the University of Miami, Eckerd
College, Yale, Rutgers, Columbia, Portland State University, Penn State and the University of Arkansas and
has welcomed researchers since 1999.
Unlike a zoo, the Myakka City
Lemur Reserve is not open to the general public. The
lemur habitats are restricted areas because the lemurs
free-range in the forests and visitors can disrupt their natural
activities. This would make the research that is done at the
reserve (non-invasive behavioral research) difficult because the
beauty of the reserve is that our lemurs live as naturally as
possible. Because we are not set up like a zoo where confined
lemurs can be easily seen, they are often very difficult to spot
without actually entering the forested enclosures. The situation
is great for the animals and for researchers, but not very
satisfactory for visitors.

Locally-made film "Wild Bill's Run," the story of notorious Northland character Bill Cooper, gets an early review from Lawrance Bernabo, who writes theater reviews for the News Tribune. Director Mike Scholtz has added unseen footage to the review that aired on KUMD FM.
"Wild Bill's Run" gets a local screening on Friday during the Free Range Film Festival in Wrenshall.
For more on Wild Bill Cooper, here is the story that ran in Sunday's News Tribune.

Summit County's Three Mile Canyon Landfill was recently permitted for an additional 42 years, but officials hope this most recent expansion will be prolonged by diverting more waste away from landfills. To additionally serve residents, the county is looking to increase hours of operation at Three Mile as well.
The current landfill at Three Mile Canyon in Wanship will be capped in the fall of 2017, after which the expansion will commence, according to Summit County Solid Waste Superintendent Jaren Scott. However, Scott has noticed the facility has the shortest hours of operation out of all of the nearby landfills. He got the go-ahead from the County Council last Wednesday to increase those hours.
Currently, Three Mile Landfill is open Monday to Saturday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., but Scott said employees notice all too often that individuals arrive at the landfill too close to closing hours and must be turned away. Representatives from both Republic Services and Recycle Utah encouraged the county to increase those hours to 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Commercial loads that are brought to the landfill must be dumped by 3:30 p.m. so they can be compacted and covered by 4 p.m., Scott said, so increasing the hours will mean that Republic Services does not have to leave its trucks loaded with waste overnight.
An expansion of a different sort could be in the works for the Henefer Landfill. There is land surrounding that site that is for sale right now, Scott said, adding the county may want to consider purchasing it for a composting operation.
Summit County Council Chair Chris Robinson floated the idea of increasing the landfill's tipping fees also, which are currently $25 per ton for most waste, with a $10 minimum disposal charge. Other landfills charge closer to $30, so Robinson thinks an increase could be in order to help the facility improve operations.
Recycling improvements
Another key component of the county's goal to divert more waste away from the landfills is to further promote recycling. Recycling contamination is the "largest current recycling problem" right now, Scott said, with glass being the biggest culprit.
Glass is not collected with the recycling stream through curbside pickup, and if any glass is in a bin the contents of the whole container must be thrown in the trash. Education has been the county's main tool to avoid this problem, but that can prove to be a daunting task with the high number of part-time residents and tourists.
"How do you educate people [about recycling] when they're only here for a weekend? You can't," Scott said, who added it would be wise to put 'No Glass' on all recycling bins in the county.
Something many residents may not be aware of, Scott said, is that residents can add another recycling bin for $1 per month, while another 65-gallon trash bin is an extra $12 a month. Scott is also looking to charge separate recycling and solid waste fees to residents as another incentive.
The Solid Waste Department is also analyzing a potential transfer station partnership with Republic Services and Park City Municipal where recycling can be dropped off. Right now, each truck that picks up recycling must make a trip to Salt Lake so such a station would decrease the number of trips made by fleet trucks.

This month the Universiteitsbibliotheek Utrecht announced the complete digitization of the Utrecht Psalter (MS Bibl. Rhenotraiectinae I Nr 32.), a ninth-century manuscript famous for the sketch-like realism of its illustrations. It's a glorious production, even for those of us jaded by a decade or more of similar projects that have brought some of the medieval era's most treasured books to our laptop screens and our classrooms in ways we couldn't have imagined when I was in graduate school.
Imagine my surprise, then, to learn from a recent dissertation that one of the modern masters of surrealist illustration, Theodor Geisel (aka Dr. Seuss, 1904-1991), took an avid interest in the psalter's decorative program. He was particularly enchanted by the rough-inked landscapes he found in the psalter, exemplified in the medieval illuminator's idiosyncratic approach to the depiction of flora. Nowhere are these lines of visual influence realized more clearly (and uncannily) than in Geisel's appropriation of the Utrecht Psalter's enchanting trees, which seem to float over the page even while tethered to the parchment by a series of twisted, gnarled trunks often jutting from perilous escarpments. These trees were apparently the direct inspiration for the 'Truffalump tree,' the threatened species inspiring the environmental imagination of The Lorax, as well as other imaginative renderings of the semi-forested pastoral scenes abounding in Geisel's oeuvre. On one folio of the Utrecht Psalter, stacked circles represent the trees' foliage, sketched just above the seventh verse of Psalm 3 (non timebo milia populi quae circumdederunt me surge Domine salvum me fac Deus meus); on another, two delicately rendered saplings reach impossibly from a rock inked below the tenth verse of Psalm 15 (Delectationes in dextera tua usque in finem)–and both folios are reborn in the pages of The Lorax and Green Eggs and Ham. Dr. Seuss? Medievalism, all the way down.

September 07, 2012
Nearly 150 alumni, faculty, staff and friends of the Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry gathered on Aug. 20 to participate in the Kids in the Klinic Golf Classic, an annual fundraiser held this year at the Olympic Club, one of the country's premier golf venues.
The 15th annual event raised funds that will provide dental care for children and families in need. Proceeds from the tournament and auction will benefit the school's Kids in the Klinic Endowment, which focuses on dental care, education and oral health prevention for socioeconomically disadvantaged children throughout Northern California.
Participants enjoyed an 18-hole round of golf on the Lake Course, which served as the site of the 2012 U.S. Open tournament as well as the 1955, 1966, 1987 and 1998 U.S. Open championships.
After a day on the course, golfers bid on silent auction items while enjoying cocktails and appetizers, followed by dinner and a live auction. Dr. Arthur A. Dugoni, dean emeritus, emceed the evening's festivities and presented trophies to the winning teams of Jason Boldt, Jason Jakovac, Erik Stocker and Doug Yarris (first place gross) and Tom Cho, Todd Iverson, Peter Lyu and Daniel Nam (first place net).
The live auction offered a variety of golf and travel packages and the opportunity for attendees to fund-a-need, or donate directly to the Kids in the Klinic Endowment.
"The money generated at events like the golf classic really does allow us to make a difference in the lives of underserved families who come to our clinic seeking care," said Dr. Jeff Wood, chair of the Department of Pediatric Dentistry and one of the speakers during the evening portion of the event. "We're also able to offer valuable learning experiences for our student dentists who gain knowledge about the unique needs of child patients."
The Kids in the Klinic Golf Classic was started by Dr. Susan Bittner '74 to raise money for the Kids in the Klinic Endowment. Today, thanks to the efforts of Dr. Bittner and many volunteers from the Pacific Dugoni Foundation, the endowment is on its way to reaching its goal of raising $2 million.
Numerous corporate sponsors from the oral healthcare field and the wider Bay Area community contributed to the success of the event. Silver Sponsors were Delta Dental; KaVo/Sybron Group; Mitchell & Mitchell Insurance; Smile Source; and Tiret & Company CPAs.
The event's dinner sponsor was Invisalign; lunch sponsor was Smile Source; and reception sponsor was hope & grace wines. Tee prize sponsors were Patterson Dental; Redmond Orthodontics; Thomas, Wirig, Doll & Co. CPAs; and Newmark Grubb Knight Frank. In addition, seven other individuals and companies supported the event through tee sign sponsorships.
Event organizers are tallying up the final amount raised, which will be announced at a later date.

College Hockey:Union Tops St. Lawrence
Dutchmen Close In On First-Round Bye
SCHENECTADY, N.Y. — Union is on the verge of something amazing, thanks to a pair of seniors who will have at least two more home games to play.
Goalie Justin Mrazek made a career-high 46 saves and Sam Bowles had a goal and an assist Saturday, leading the Dutchmen to a 3-1 ECAC Hockey victory over St. Lawrence in the final regular-season home game at Messa Rink.
The win, coupled with Cornell's 2-1 loss to Princeton, puts the Dutchmen (9-6-5 ECACH, 14-11-6 overall) in a fourth-place tie with the Big Red. However, the Dutchmen have the tiebreaker over the Big Red, which means, with two games left in the regular season, Union is in great position to get its first-ever ECACH tournament first-round bye. The Dutchmen, who clinched a home-ice berth Friday, conclude the season next weekend at Yale and Brown.
Quinnipiac, which is a point behind Union and Cornell, could move ahead of those two teams if it beats Colgate today.
"Obviously, we have to wait for the Colgate-Quinnipiac game," Union coach Nate Leaman said. "I thought Justin and Sam played a great game. We needed it. We were struggling there."
Mrazek made 21 saves in the first period, keeping the game scoreless for the Dutchmen, who showed the effects of the previous night's feisty 3-3 tie with Clarkson. The Dutchmen were very sluggish, and were outplayed by the Saints (5-13-2, 10-18-4).
"The way I like to play is the more shots, the better," said Mrazek, whose previous career high for saves was 43 at Providence on Dec. 7. "We started off slow, but in the second period, we picked it up. After that, it was a back-and-forth game."
The Dutchmen, who were outshot, 47-26, got a wake-up call at 6:18 of the second period when Saints' defenseman Zach Miskovic ripped a one-timer past Mrazek from the right circle. Union tied it 52 seconds later when John Simpson scored a power-play goal.
Bowles, who missed the last two games because of an injury suffered against Cornell last Friday, snapped a 1-1 tie with his third goal of the season with 5:37 left in the second. He was a little off balance in the Saints' left circle when he got a pass from Jason Shaffer. Bowles regained his balance and fired a turn-around wrist shot past goalie Justin Pesony.
"[Defenseman] Brock Matheson made a great play coming up the ice, and he head-manned it to Shaffer," Bowles said. "Shaffer made an unbelievable play fighting off a [St. Lawrence] guy. I was calling for it, and he dropped it. I just turned around and shot it. I don't how it went in, but somehow, it went in."
Bowles then made an outstanding play on the Dutchmen's third goal.
He skated with the puck into the St. Lawrence zone, went around the net from the left side, and came out on the right. Bowles went to the right circle before backhanding a pass to Chris Potts in the slot. Potts fired a wrister past Pesony's right pad.
"I was just trying to drive it wide because I know they've been playing with a couple of forwards back on [defense]," Bowles said. "I tried to take advantage of that. I came around the net, and looked up. First, I was thinking about going to the lane, but 'Pottsie' did a great job calling for it. He was cocked and ready to go. I just put it over to him, and he did the rest."

Sun's Bloggers' License
By webmink on Sep 02, 2009
As a follow-up to my posting on Monday about the new co-ownership license Sun has offered to all the bloggers on blogs.sun.com, I thought it would be good to post a link to the FAQ site and to the license itself (PDF). One interesting extra dimension is that the option to enter into the license is also open to former employees whose blogs are still on display (which is the policy for former employees, unlike some employers I could mention).
I think this is a great and wise step for Sun to have taken. I hope other companies with staff who blog will take the same step.

October 2012 Board Meeting Minutes
FSP Board Meeting
October 31, 2012
Attending: Rich, Séamas, Jody, Varrin, Carla, Sharon (late)
Meeting started 8:14pm
Note: Originally scheduled meeting was postponed due to Hurricane Sandy. Meeting was rescheduled with less than the required seven days' notice, and Stephen Cobb could not attend. He has no objections to the decisions made or these minutes as posted.
Welcome Sharon
Chris Lopez:
Atlas Shrugged Outreach
Prez Report
501c3 news
LF Status
O-list refresh
Performance Criteria
Post-election publicity plans.
Postponed Welcome Sharon until Sharon arrives.
Chris Lopez: She's working out great. She will be sending about 1000 welcome letters/recruit someone letters in the next couple of weeks. Funding is fine.
Atlas Shrugged Outreach: Great both times. Some connections were made for contributions, nothing done yet (waiting for 501(c)3 status). Jody and Séamas contributed miles and bed to make it low cost/free.
Curtis: The Board communicated last to him, and it's been more than 2 months ago.
Prez Report:
· Putting together a PR team
· PR Retreat this weekend with Kari dePhillips plus 10 others. The PR retreat is strategic, training and on-the-ground work. Should yield some results. If it doesn't, Carla will reevaluate
· We've ordered new trifolds, lots of outreach, spoke to a new mover (coming Feb. to teach at UNH) who is willing to help with big ticket sponsorships.
· Lots of new movers that we are, and should constantly be making sure, to welcome since they are excited about helping with projects.
Welcome Sharon!
· We are still waiting to hear from the IRS. They sent us a form letter one month after they received the application (and cashed our $850 check) letting us know that they will get back to us in 3 months. So we should hear from them by the end of November.
· A question was raised as to whether we could use other vehicles to accept tax-free donations, for example, through third party 501c3s. What we know is: that C3s can sponsor our events or speakers but they can't pass money directly on to us.
· It was also suggested that we create a separate 501c3 if the IRS will not acknowledge our non-profit status.
LF Status: Chris Lawless sent an email earlier today:
Theme: Liberty: Made in NH
Contract with Hotel is signed sealed and delivered.
The website and registration is 90% done. (THANK YOU JON M.)
Just getting some core people together to get this rolling.
I think I only have 2 trips left this year. So I can get cracking on LF. I have lots of notes and will get organized this week.
Tom Woods has verbally agreed to be the keynote speaker. Will finish that up this week.
My contract with the FSP will be sent over later today. (we haven't received it yet)
I will try to do weekly updates for LF.
I forget what 8 was for.
I will have a budget done this week.
We already sold one vendor table.
O-list refresh: Glen, Bill D, Cathleen, and Seth are all silent. Glen will be removed. Then, what is the O-List for? Carla does not use it for doing things, which seems appropriate. We decided to table this discussion to next time.
Performance Criteria:
· Discussion has already begun on the O-List. Steve suggested categories, and Seamas added to them, plus some other discussion.
· Discussion here about measurable and controllable vs. less controllable objectives.
· Setting goals too high doesn't work and doesn't measure the organization's performance well.
· Signup rate is not directly controllable, but it is what matters.
· Raising funds is controllable. Perhaps increase the percentage of donors, but not donations.
· Number of outreach events is controllable, but isn't what matters in the long run. It might go toward quantity rather than quality.
· Publicity is controllable.
· What's important: getting SOIs, organizing movers, raising the publicity of the FSP, making alliances with other pro-liberty organizations
· We decided to move this discussion to email, formulate a set of goals, and then Carla will respond and we tweak.
Post-election publicity plans:
· The first PR drop we're planning is "jobs are moving to NH," then "are you mad as hell and aren't going to take it anymore?" interspersed with election successes. Start creating diverse tracks of "stories" that all for "whatever reason" lead back to NH, and the FSP.
· It was suggested that we might like some sedate people too.
· They will address at PR retreat.
Meeting adjourned at 10:11pm.

EDIT: (in response to what deinst said) sometimes using a sledgehammer for some menial task is rather convenient - especially if it also has the complexity $O(n)$ (which is what my question is about) like roating caliphers!
If you compute all the distances between all the sides the complexity is of the order $n^2$. In 2D there is the rotating caliphers method that apparently solves the problem in $O(n)$(?) time. Isn't the general case also formulatable as a quadratic programming problem? Does that show that it is solvable in time linear in $n$ (since quadratic programming is so close to linear programming which is solvable in time linear to the number of inequalities if the dimension is fixed).
