Its An Honor for the SciFi World
The Library of Congress has honored the three SciFi flicks Alien, E.T. the Extra Terrestrial and Star Wars by adding them to their National Film Registry. This is the latest addition to the list after they had done so in the year 1989. This gesture proves that the films are considered to be really significant, thus their preservation is a need. The list consists of 22 more films that have been added and consists of some of the path breaking movies made during this period. It is indeed a great gesture on the part of Library of Congress to have given recognition to films that not only proved to be a treat to watch but also changed the way SciFi movies were produced. All the three deserved to be in the list; kudos to their creators!

Honestly, I never stop gardening. I'm always growing something. The winter weather slows me down. It keeps me out of the big garden (mostly). Still, I always find some excuse to get my hands dirty. I'm looking forward to building a nice heated greenhouse in the backyard someday. Until then, here's how I work on my garden all winter long, despite the cold and snow.
I divide and share my houseplants in winter.
Caring for houseplants is a pretty typical way to keep gardening all year. I simply take that a step further. Right now, I have an abundant aloe vera crop. They are having babies like crazy. I sprout the babies in water until roots form. Then, I take each one and re-pot it as a holiday or friendship gift. Not only does this give me a winter gardening task, it also strengthens friendships and provides some inexpensive presents.
I plant fresh herbs yearly.
A few years back, it occurred to me that it was more productive to start herbs in early winter. It also gives me the time I need to nurture them to perfection. Each spring, my herb garden is refreshed with new plants. That way, if the old perennials die off, I still have plenty. Any surplus is once again shared with friends. I have plenty who appreciate a gift of window herbs, since they have little space to garden.
I'm always sprouting something.
I generally start next year's peppers and tomatoes weeks earlier than most gardeners. That way, by hardening off time, they're nice and strong. They can withstand any breeze that threatens them. When I'm not sprouting next year's veggies, I'm sprouting sprouts. It's a great way to produce fresh salad greens in very little space. You don't even need a window!
I engage in strange winter gardening experiments.
Growing houseplants from pineapples, sweet potatoes and more is usually a kid's hobby. It doesn't have to be. In the winter, I do crazy stuff like growing lemon "trees" from seed and such. Sometimes the grandkids do it with me, sometimes not. Either way, it satisfies my craving for gardening in winter months.
Composting satisfies my craving for dirt in winter.
All winter long, I work on supplementing my compost pile. While it's not exactly gardening, it's gardening related. Once spring hits, I have plenty of fresh nutrients for the garden, without spending a ton of money. It's easier than you think. Plus, I get that great feeling that only comes from working the soil. That way, I never miss it.

This book is a collection of some of the hundreds of photos taken by myself over the summer of Brenda and her kittens.
One sunny day in June, a very friendly and very pregnant black cat turned up at the units and made herself known to everyone as she looked for a suitable place to have her kittens.
A couple of days later, we realised that she had had her kittens somewhere out in the yard and we all started looking for them, and feeding her rather a lot of food.
Brenda had four kittens, 2 black and white, and 2 grey tabbies, and they have now grown into 4 very beautiful young cats.
All profits from the sale of this book will be donated to Avon Cat Rescue, Welford on Avon.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that everybody loves Peter Pan. Disagree? Go watch it again and stop lying to yourself, please. Okay, everyone on board now? Great, let's continue. These reimagined movie posters by Rowan Stocks-Moore beautifully capture the essence of several beloved classics, but the minimalist Peter Pan ($21) especially is a real stunner.

Cap has staying power. The red, white and blue superhero topped the April 18-20 weekend box office for the third consecutive week with Captain America: The Winter Soldier to beat newcomer Transcendence, Johnny Depp's latest effort about a scientist working on artificial intelligence.
The Winter Soldier pulled in an estimated $26.6 million at the box office, according to Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for Rentrak, a media tracking firm. That take propelled the film to a $201.5 million domestically making it the 12th Marvel Comics based movie to pass that mark.
It held off a new Depp's sci-fi thriller Transcendence, a film panned by critics and one that audiences appear to agree on for a change. It managed to pull in just $11.5 million over the holiday weekend for fourth place. It continues a slump for Depp whose last film, The Lone Ranger, suffered the same fate with critics and movie fans.
A Haunted House 2, the latest comedy from Marlon Wayans, found just a small audience as well, grossing just $9.1 million for fifth place at the box office. It's not a surprise because Wayans hasn't exactly maintained a high profile in recent years.
So what else were audiences going to see for the Easter Weekend? Releasing a faith-based movie in Heaven Is For Real paid off for Columbia Pictures. The film, a story about a boy's near-death experience, grossed $21.5 million for third place at the box office.
And animation will always sell on a holiday weekend. That fact is giving Rio 2 the wings to stay afloat at the top of the chart at second place with $22.5 million.
The weekend continues a positive trajectory for movie studios as they prepare for the lucrative summer movie season which unofficially begins May 2nd with the release of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 – in mid-spring. It is expected to be one of many blockbuster releases for the season.
Currently the year's cumulative box office stands at $2.98 billion versus last year's $2.74 billion, according to Rentrak figures. That is 8.6 percent better than this time last year.
Here are this week's Top 10 films according to box office data provided by Rentrak:
Captain America (Marvel/Disney): $26.6 million
Rio 2 (Fox): $22.5 million
Heaven Is For Real (Columbia): $21.5 million
Transcendence (Warner Bros.): $11.5 million
A Haunted House 2 (Open Road): $9.1 million
Draft Day (Lionsgate): $5.9 million
Divergent (Lionsgate): $5.75 million
Oculus (Relativity Media): $5.2 million
Noah (Paramount): $5 million
God's Not Dead (Freestyle): $4.8 million

Dream Water is a natural sleep aid and relaxation shot that allows you to get a good night's rest. Recently, I had the chance to speak directly with David Lekach, the CEO behind Dream Water. Here is what he had to tell me...
(Q) Hello David. How are you? Tell me a little more about Dream Water...
Dream Water is an all-natural, drug-free, 0-calorie sleep and relaxation shot. It can be found in over 35,000 doors across the US; Walgreens, Walmart, Target, CVS, Safeway, Kroger to name a few.
(Q) What is the inspiration behind this product? Tell me a little more about the inspiration behind Dream Water...
The idea behind Dream Water was inspired by our executive team who couldn't sleep while they were in college. They couldn't understand why there were so many drinks on the market to help you stay up but none to help you go to sleep, and with that the concept of Dream Water began.
(Q) So, the million dollar question is - how does Dream Water help you fall asleep?
Dream Water's three natural ingredients can help you relax, fall asleep and stay asleep. Our drug-free product works with your body and can help you reach the stage of relaxation to fall asleep and go to sleep without that grogginess sensation when you wake up.
(Q) I have to ask, what are the active ingredients in Dream Water?
Dream Water is made with our proprietary 'SleepStat' Natural blend of GABA, Melatonin, and 5-HTP. GABA to help you relax, Melatonin to help you go to sleep, and 5-HTP to help improve the quality of sleep.
(Q) Does Dream Water contain sugar?
No, but we do use Stevia, which is a natural 0-calorie sweetener, as well as natural fruit flavors.
(Q) Who can use Dream Water? Tell me a little more about who can use this amazing sleep aid...
We recommend that Dream Water be used by any adult over the age of 18 who has trouble going to sleep or staying asleep. While it is not a cure by any means, the natural ingredients in Dream Water can work wonders for those who find themselves awake at night.
(Q) For all of those health enthusiasts reading this interview, what would you like them to know?
One of our main campaigns is 'Active Lives. RestoredTM.' We believe that health enthusiasts tend to put sleep on the back burner when it comes to keeping an active lifestyle. While eating healthy and working out are significant elements of being healthy, sleep is the component to help your body rejuvenate and recuperate.
(Q) What is next for Dream Water?
We are always working on new and innovative products to help people with sleep issues and to overcome their sleeplessness. I can't tell you specifics about our current projects, but let's just say that our Dream Water shot is not going to be our only sleep-aid on the market!

With signing of Eddie House, Heat faces game-night questions
Now, real questions confront the Heat.
No longer is it about which end-of-bench types will battle in training camp for longshot roster spots.
No, with Thursday's addition of Eddie House, the Heat now is confronted with legitimate decisions, namely which 12 players to dress on game nights.
Suddenly, someone you have heard of is going to have to wear a suit on game nights.
First, start with the definitive active players.
- Center: Joel Anthony, Zydrunas Ilgauskas.
- Power forward: Chris Bosh, Udonis Haslem.
- Small forward: LeBron James, Mike Miller.
- Shooting guard: Dwyane Wade, Eddie House.
- Point guard: Mario Chalmers, Carlos Arroyo.
That's 10 right there (yes, we know we're fudging the positions for Miller and House, but we're trying to balance the roster). That leaves two more active spots on game nights (teams can keep up to 15 players during the regular season, but only 12 can dress out).
So that potentially leaves center Jamaal Magloire and forwards Juwan Howard and James Jones looking at two roster spots on game nights.
The sense is Howard would not have signed and Jones would not have re-upped merely to sit in a suit on game nights.
So that could leave Magloire as the odd man out on game nights, along with second-round pick Dexter Pittman, the burly center out of Texas, and the player the Heat selects for its 15th roster spot (with guard Kenny Hasbrouck and forward Shavlik Randolph currently also under contract, albeit without guarantees).
With someone of the ilk of Magloire or Howard or Jones sitting out on game nights, it would appear unlikely the Heat could attract an additional proven veteran, with uniform time (let alone playing time) now at issue.

The new Handle-less 1875W Hair Dryer by Kiss is fantastic. Finally a hair dryer that has a powerful motor and three heat and 2 air speed settings.
I'm finding it great to be able to hold my hair dryer by the nozzle, allowing me to style and dry my hair with such precision. It's so easy and so effortless. We all know what it's like to have our blow dyer heat up in such a way that it is hard to handle while we are trying to style our hair. This can be so frustrating.
I have burned my hand and my scalp many times. I have to say that the Cool Touch Nozzle, with its insulation technology, makes it easier to hold on to the dryer while styling my hair. I love the way I have more control over the styling of my hair. It's designed to work well with all hair types so everyone will be able to manage or style our hair, no matter how coarse or wavy. I love the way it handles my
coarse dry hair which can sometimes end up being frizzy if I don't have the correct products to use on my hair or the right dryer.
Thanks to the Handle-Less 1875W Hair Dryer by Kiss, taking the time to style my hair is actually enjoyable, and the results are well worth it, nothing short of fabulous!

NEW YORK — Investor optimism faded in a hurry Tuesday after two days of conferences ended with no resolution to Greece's debt crisis.
Stocks erased nearly all of their gains in the last hour of trading after rallying for much of the day on hopes the Fed would stimulate the economy.
At the closing bell, the Dow Jones industrial average was left with a gain of 7.65 points, or 0.1 percent, at 11,408.66. It had been up as much as 149.21 points earlier in the day.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 2, or 0.2 percent, to 1,202.09. The Nasdaq composite fell 22.59, or 0.9 percent, to 2,590.24.
Many analysts believe the Fed will announce a new stimulus plan at the end of a two-day policy meeting Wednesday. But another two-day meeting, a teleconference between Greek officials and international lenders, spurred sellers late in the day.
After the teleconference, the European Commission said debt inspectors would continue to review Greece's progress on its budget goals early next week. That suggested to investors that a resolution to Greece's debt crisis wouldn't come in the next few days.
Greek Finance Minister Evangelos Venizelos attempted to convince the European Commission, International Monetary Fund and European Central Bank, known collectively as the Troika, that Greece can make deep budget cuts. Greece must meet the Troika's strict budget targets in order to qualify for a second installment of the rescue package it received in 2010 to keep it from defaulting on its debt.
Greece is only one of several European countries that investors fear may be at risk of failing to pay their debts. On Monday night, the ratings agency Standard & Poor's cut Italy's credit rating by one notch, citing the country's growing debt and weak growth outlook. Italy has the second-biggest debt burden among countries that use the euro, after Greece.
If Greece or Italy were to default, European banks that have lent money to the countries could lose billions of dollars. That could hurt the European banking system and have repercussions for U.S. banks, which have lent billions to their European counterparts. Investors are concerned that a default in Europe could cause a lending crisis similar to what happened after the collapse of Lehman Brothers in 2008.
Investors have shifted between optimism and pessimism that the region's debt problems will be resolved. Stock prices have swung sharply for months in response to investors' changing mood. Moves of more than 100 points in the Dow have become commonplace.
Right now, hopes are not high that Greece will avoid a default, said David Smith, chief investment officer at Rockland Trust Investment Management Group, a firm based in Rockland, Mass., that manages about $1.7 billion in assets. "I'm sitting here, like a lot of investors, thinking we don't have anything like a concrete solution," he said.
A bleak forecast for U.S. economic growth added to fears the U.S. could be headed for a second recession, but sparked hopes that the Fed would be persuaded to enact stimulus measures.
The International Monetary Fund lowered its forecast for the country's growth this year. Some saw it as another reason for the Fed to act. The IMF said it expects the U.S. economy to grow only 1.5 percent this year and 1.8 percent in 2012. In June, it had forecast 2.5 percent growth in 2011 and 2.7 percent in 2012.
The IMF also lowered its outlook for the 17 countries that use the euro because it fears Greece will default on its debt.
In a sign that the market's afternoon rally was a cautious one, stocks were led higher by industries that tend to do well regardless of the economy, like utilities and health care. Investors are reluctant to take much risk, said Quincy Krosby, market strategist for Prudential Financial.

Eric Jokisch was brilliant and the offense tied a season-high in runs scored and set a new season-high in hits as the Iowa Cubs (27-21) routed the Colorado Springs Sky Sox 12-3 on Monday afternoon at Principal Park. Iowa took the last three games of the four-game series and has won six of seven against the Sky Sox this season while improving its record in day games to 15-3.
Jokisch (4-4) had an outstanding day for Iowa, pitching a season-high 8.1 innings before giving way to Frank Batista. Jokisch retired 11 of the first 12 batters he faced before allowing a run to score in the fifth on a sacrifice fly by Sky Sox third baseman Angelys Nina. Jokisch allowed two runs (one earned) on three hits and one walk while striking out four and was never in any serious trouble all day. Jokisch also contributed on offense, going 2-for-3 with a double and 2 RBI.
The offense battered Sky Sox (23-27) pitching all day beginning with starter Pedro Hernandez (3-1). Matt Szczur led off the game with a single and advanced to second on a single by Arismendy Alcantara. Javier Baez followed with an RBI double to left, extending his hitting streak to 11 games. A sacrifice fly by Chris Valaika gave Iowa a 2-0 lead after an inning.
Iowa took a 3-0 lead in the third when Alcantara led off with his league-leading sixth triple of the season. Alcantara scored one batter later on a sacrifice fly by Baez.
Dan Houston took over for Hernandez in the fifth but it didn't seem to bother the Iowa offense. Valaika started the scoring with an RBI single. Three batters later, Logan Watkins hit a bases loaded single to center scoring two more runs. Watkins is 4-for-5 with 9 RBI with the bases loaded this season. Jokisch came up with the bases loaded later in the inning and lined a two-run single to center, giving Iowa an 8-1 lead.
The offense continued to rough-up Sky Sox pitching, scoring four runs off Brooks Brown in the eighth inning. After Brown walked Jokisch to lead off the inning, back-to-back-to-back doubles by Szczur, Alcantara, and Baez along with an RBI single by Christian Villanueva put the game away, extending the lead to 12-1.
Jason Pridie blasted a two-run home run, his seventh, off Iowa reliever Frank Batista in the ninth to cut the lead to 12-3.
Alcantara went 4-for-4 with a triple, double, 2 RBI, and four runs scored. Valaika also added four hits and 2 RBI, while Baez was 3-for-4 with 3 RBI.
Iowa heads to Memphis to open up a five-game, four-day series against the Redbirds on Tuesday before heading to Nashville for four games against the Sounds.

The 71st annual Golden Globe Awards took place on Jan. 12, 2014, at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, Calif. Here is what these Golden Globe winners said backstage in the Golden Globe Awards press room.
Best Drama Series
Best Actor in a Television Drama Series
Walking in here, everybody said you were going to walk out here doing exactly what you're doing: holding a Golden Globe. Did you have that degree of anticipation?
Vince Gilligan (creator/executive producer): Did they predict the dopey look on my face?
What did you guys think? Did you see this award coming?
Cranston: If we knew this, we'd have gone to Vegas first and put some money on it. We're no dummies. We have got to finance the next series.
Gilligan: This is great.
How was the day after Walter White going to be?
Gilligan: What's the day after finishing up with Walter White?
Cranston: It is still hard to process, because what has happened to the world of "Breaking Bad" is that the fans have lifted it up to this level that none of us could have anticipated the zeitgeist of it all. And even though Walter White is dead, he seems to be able to stay alive somehow on life support systems.
Personally, I am hiding out in New York. I am going to do a play on Broadway. So that's where I'm going. But thanks. Thank you.
Are you going to sit back and relax?
Aaron Paul (co-star): No. Yeah, I am just drinking a lot.
Cranston: No, no, no. This cast and this group, we love to work. Our most joyous time is when we're actually on the set working. This is a little nerve-wracking, to be honest with you. And we are not as comfortable as you might think, even though actors are used to being in front of people all the time, but we get to hide behind characters, and that's where we find our safety net.
And everybody here, this wonderful cast, was just phenomenal to work with, and I think that's what elevated a notch of the brilliant writing, and we are fortunate that we won this. And what a way to go out. We thank all of you.
So you were talking about how you're going to celebrate You said drinking?
Paul: Among other things, yeah.
What are you guys going to do to celebrate tonight? Are you all going out together or do you have separate plans?
Cranston: I think we are going to wife swap. That's been discussed.
Paul: Wife swapping.
Cranston: Wife swapping, I thought that was an interesting plan.
Who is getting Lauren?
Cranston: You put your card in the basket, I don't know. Personally, I am not much of a partier. I really don't know how to do that.
Betsy Brandt (co-star): But you are a dancer.
Paul: He does like to dance.
How was it for you after the Emmy win, when it must have really settled in that the show is over, you have reached that pinnacle. How is that for you emotionally for all of you? And have any the "Breaking Bad" actors been hit up for cameos on "Better Call Saul" yet?
Gilligan: We are having fun with that, and I am going to say the people who are creating the show with me will be hitting up cameos from all these great actors. We have to figure that out, story-wise. We had a long lead time between when the show finished shooting and when we won that Emmy, and it was time to reflect on it and it was time to think, was it the right thing to end it when we did.
And as much as I miss these wonderful folks and crew and Albuquerque, the city where we shot the show in … I feel at peace about the fact that we ended it when we did. It is better to go out with people wanting more rather than people saying, "Oh, nice going here."

Gun Runner
|Gun Runner
|GTA Vice City
|Phil Cassidy
|Pedro Garcia
|Phil's Place
Gun Runner is the first mission for Phil Cassidy in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.
|Spoiler Warning: Plot and/or ending details are in the text which follows.
Phil Cassidy is pissed off. He's tired of his rival in gun running Pedro Garcia making more money than him, so Phil wants you to end his mexican empire of guns. You'll have to ambush his trucks containing guns he will deliver to a local Ammu-Nation, steal the guns and then kill him and his gun running henchmen.
The Mission
When the mission starts, quickly get in to the nearby Patriot parked in Phil's Place, then drive towards the targets. There are four trucks, two in Little Haiti and another two in Downtown. It's easier to first get the ones in Little Haiti.
Drive near the trucks and then get out of the Patriot (keep the Patriot in sight since if you turn around and walk away from it, it will dissappear) then pull out a sniper rifle and aim at the drivers of the trucks, snipe them and then snipe the gunman on top of one of the trucks, once their dead, get in the Patriot and ram the trucks until they drop their load, then get of the car and pick up the guns.
When you already have two guns, the mexicans will send back-up, Tec 9 wielding Faggio driving Mexicans will spawn endlessly and come after you, get in your car and drive towards the other targets.
This time you won't be able to snipe them since the back-up mexicans will be after you. This time just ram the guns of the trucks, pick them up, then pull out a rocket launcher or Minigun and blow up the trucks (The Downtown Truck with a gunman on it is being driven by Pedro Garcia and he will drive lot better than the other truckers).
Once you have the guns, you've killed the truckers and got rid of the trucks, the mission is complete.
(Phil's Place, Tommy Vercetti and Phil Cassidy).
Tommy: Phil?
Phil: RUN! RUN!
Phil: Hooowwwwwweeeeeee! Never get a naked flame too close to one of Phil Cassidy's boomshine stills!
Tommy: Shit, Phil. You drink that stuff?
Phil: Hell, you don't have to drink it. Just a good whiff will set you off. Hoowwweeee!
Tommy: Listen, Phil. You said you could fix me up with some firepower...
Phil: Sure thing. There's some Mexican gun runner, been doing me for business of late. He does his weekly run about now. Ram his hardware off the back of his trucks before he goes to ground. And you'd be doing me a favor while you're at it. Then finish him off!

College Hockey:Whitney Claims 2002 Kazmaier Award
PORTSMOUTH, N.H. — Northeastern's Brooke Whitney won the 2002 Patty Kazmaier Memorial Award, given annually to the outstanding women's hockey player at the Division I level.
"This is such a tremendous honor," said an emotional Whitney following the presentation of the award. "It's such a great honor, knowing all the talent that is out there, in the league and throughout the nation."
Whitney, who led the Huskies in scoring with 56 points on 32 goals and 24 assists, was named Most Valuable Player in the ECAC East for leading the Huskies to a second-place finish and an appearance in the league's title game. She ranks fourth all-time in career scoring at Northeastern.
This is the fifth year the Kazmaier Award has been presented. In December, all women's Division I coaches were asked to nominate two players from their teams; those players made up the official ballot for the top 10 finalists, again voted on by the coaches.
From the 10 finalists, a 12-member selection committee, made up of Division I coaches, print and broadcast media, and a representative of USA Hockey, chose the recipient.
The top three candidates are announced, and the winner is presented at the annual award banquet, held each year in conjuction with the women's NCAA Frozen Four. This year's three finalists were Whitney, Dartmouth forward Carly Haggard, and Minnesota defenseman Ronda Curtin.
The award is named for Princeton defenseman Patty Kazmaier, a four-year letterwinner who excelled in ice hockey and lacrosse. Kazmaier passed away at 28 following a long battle with a rare blood disease. She is survived by husband Mark Sandt and daughter Serena.
Kazmaier was a teammate of current Minnesota coach Laura Halldorson, who also serves on the board's selection committee. Halldorson suggested the award be named for Kazmaier, to recognize her spirit.
"I played with Patty for three years. I think of her as a big, strong athlete who was a powerful skater and a really great person," Halldorson said.
"The idea of a national award came up first, before any sort of name was suggested. I started thinking about the Hobey Baker, and thinking about what is special about the Hobey Baker. It was an inspirational story, and I thought of Patty, because she basically risked her life to have her child and died at an early age."
Hobey Baker, the namesake of the analogous men's ice hockey award, also went to Princeton.
"When it was decided it would be named the Kazmaier Award, most people had never heard of Patty Kazmaier or knew her story," said Halldorson. "But over time, when you combine what USA Hockey says the award stands for with the individuals that have been honored with the award, it's generating an identity of its own.
"People in women's hockey know the Kazmaier Award. It's recognizable and it's respected."

A great work environment is the result of a great leadership strategy. The culture in any company is created by the intelligent and thoughtful management of the organization. When staffers are friendly, proactive, have goals of productivity and make others feel warm and accepted it is the direct result of excellent leadership.
Whereas, if a company environment is staffed by angry, frustrated and continually agitated people who gossip and mistrust one another it is the result of sub-par and extremely poor leadership.
The latter company culture probably has a huge attrition rate of employees unless because of our economy they stay because they don't think they can find another job. In that case productivity will suffer, people will be worn out, tired and unhappy, which also invites lots of people taking time off because their work environment can also make them physically ill.
In either case, the company culture is in direct relation to the quality of the leadership.
Great Cultures Come from Great Leaders
Years ago when I actually worked a job, I can recall several companies that were a chore to work with each and every day. They had little or no leadership, just bosses who did everything they could to make sure someone had a miserable day just to make themselves feel better and give them that little power boost that told them they were important.
A great leader has an 'open-door' policy when it comes to subordinates they take lots of time and investment to hold themselves to a higher standard and without being aggressive, makes sure the staff desires to hold themselves to that same level of competence and performance each day.
Great leaders learn the names of their employees and they greet them as they pass in the hallways, lunch room or conference rooms. When an employee performs well on a project or task the leader takes the time not only to recognize it but may present a certificate of excellence or even a financial reward.
When an employee is not performing well and/or is making mistakes or slacking off, a great leader will not shame or embarrass them but instead will give them counsel along with retraining if that is possible.
In essence, a great leader is the heart and soul of the work environment and the company culture.
Work Environments that Leave Much to be Desired
It takes as much effort to create a poor, negative work environment and company culture as it does a positive one, so why not go for greatness?
When the 'fearless leader' of a company has 'left the building,' is unavailable both physically and mentally, has too many irons in the fire including reports, business trips, projects, budgets, you name it, they are not the picture of even a good leader. They are mediocre at best.
The humanity of the corporate culture must be attended to each and every day. Employees and customers alike take time and focus from a great leader instead of "stuff."
The staffers will model their leader and may be arrogant, uncaring, rude and unavailable. Unfortunately, the "me" mentality will replace the team vision and mentality and sabotage and lack of caring will bring a company to its knees very rapidly.
When there is a lack of caring about co-workers and customers it shows to everyone on the outside. A cohesive company culture is non-existent and revenues will suffer as well as any employee who does care about doing a good job.
Eventually, they will leave if they can and all that will be left is a group of whiny, self-centered cry babies.
The self-absorbed leader may soon be forced to begin looking for other employment as the owners or board of directors becomes aware of the hostile work environment, lack of performance and a downturn in revenue.
Poor leaders are the ones who never know the names of employees and don't really care. There is never eye contact unless they are berating someone. Should any employee do something exceptional there will probably be no recognition or reward because the poor leader simply expects everyone to do their job and don't expect anything more than a paycheck.
Negative vibes occur when the poor leader finds out someone did something wrong or didn't perform well on a project and fail to act appropriately.
Instead of a private counseling session, they would probably yell at them in front of the whole office and order them to clean out their desk and leave. In such a negative work environment, even the best employees soon lower their expectations and join the gang of slackers and mediocrity.
Are You a Great Leader or a Poor Leader?
Do you respect your employees and show them you care who they are, how they feel and get to know them on a personal level?
When they outperform others do you openly congratulate them and present them with a prize for excellence?
Are your staffers on board with your believe in a higher level of job performance and do they understand it is expected?
Is your staff happy and eager to come to work? How often do you hold company events like parties or picnics?
You can demand respect and at the same time be someone who your staffers admire and choose to emulate.
Be the Leader You'd Want to Have Lead You
It's never too late to create a dynamic and successful company culture. Whatever mistakes you've made in the past can be fixed.
Imagine the surprise when you announce all the new changes that will make your company a place where applications are piling up from people who have heard about your company and can't wait to be hired.
Below are a few tips you may consider should you desire to improve the working environment of your company.
- Sit down and make a detailed assess of yourself and your company team so you can determine where any weaknesses might be hiding that are keeping you from creating that positive culture and work environment.
- Create a battle plan to improve what is not working and figure out how to take yourself and team to a higher level of production in small increments until you have the big picture fleshed out first in your mind, then put it in action.
- Invite your team to get involved in the planning and make sure to allow them to make suggestions for improvement. You may be surprised to find someone or several people who have brilliant ideas that could turn your company into one of power and super-performance.
- Be the role model of the exact company culture you'd like to see come to fruition.
- Make sure your plans include long-term ideas that will be permanent not just some new "program of the week."
- Never, ever compromise your ethics or expectations of creating a culture of success.
- Make it understood that incompetence and sub-par performance will not be tolerated or excused. Keep note of any team member who is not on board with the plan and don't allow them to get off message. If they are worthy of taking your time to counsel them on how to perform at the expected level, then give them that time.
By improving on the atmosphere and working conditions within your company you can implement your leadership strategy and find yourself at the helm of an outstanding company others begin to notice and emulate.

(Ivanhoe Newswire) – As many as 5 million women in the United States may be affected by polycystic ovary syndrome, a condition in which women have an imbalance of female sex hormones, according to the National Institutes of Health.
It is usually treated with combined oral contraceptives to regulate menstrual cycles and to help with acne and excessive hair growth associated with the condition. However, studies have shown that women with PCOS who take oral contraceptives have double the risk of developing blood clots.
Now, a study published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal backs that up. Researchers from the U.S. and Canada looked at more than 87,000 women aged 18 to 46 years in the US, half with PCOS and half without, to determine whether women with PCOS taking birth control pills are at increased risk of blood clots. They excluded women with a history of heart disease, cancer and previous blood clots.
"We found a two-fold increased risk of venous thromboembolism among women with PCOS taking combined oral contraceptives compared with matched controls," said Steven Bird, lead author and pharmacoepidemiologist with the Food and Drug Administration.
Not only that, the researchers also found that women with PCOS who were not taking birth control had 1.5 times the risk of blood clots in comparison to women without the disorder.
PCOS can cause menstrual cycle changes, cysts in the ovaries, trouble getting pregnant and other health changes, and risk factors for heart disease such as hypertension, diabetes, obesity and others are double among women with PCOS compared with women without the disorder.
But Bird and his co-authors say they think physicians should consider the increased risk when prescribing contraceptive therapy to women with PCOS.

Pro Cup Series Inks Title Sponsor
MOORESVILLE, N.C. – Officials with the Championship Auto Racing Series (CARS) are proud to announce that Revolution Oil has agreed to become the title sponsor of the CARS Pro Cup Series, effective immediately.
The CARS Pro Cup Series will now be known as the Rev-Oil Pro Cup Series. The title sponsorship agreement runs through the 2013 racing season.
"The addition of Revolution Oil as title sponsor of the Rev-Oil Pro Cup Series is a major step for us," said Jack McNelly, president of the Rev-Oil Pro Cup Series. "We couldn't be happier to have them on board and we look forward to a fantastic relationship going forward."
The difficult state of the economy has taken its toll on the motorsports industry in recent years, but this sponsorship announcement is proof that good things come to those who wait.
"The racing industry has been struggling the last few years, that's for sure," McNelly said. "This agreement with Revolution Oil is not only a positive sign for our series, but for every short-track series around the country. The economy is coming back and this is proof positive of that."
Revolution Oil is a multi-faceted company with its focus in identifying technologies and products that will increase longevity and performance, while reducing the carbon footprint of its clients. Revolution Oil combines the experience of its people with the strength of its strategic alliances to create and identify new opportunities in the oil, gas, energy and transportation industries.
"We at Revolution Oil are proud to announce our sponsorship of the CARS Pro Cup Series. In lending our name to the series we look forward to bringing the series back to where it was and beyond," said Eddie Conz, COO of Revolution Oil. "Revolution Oil is proud to present the Rev-Oil Pro Cup Series. We look forward to giving families and fans the best racing experience at the best racing price."
Revolution Oil is currently developing a full line of superior lubricants for the transportation industry, with a focus on saving fuel as well as reducing emissions and engine wear. The company has already debuted the new HI-TEK25 15-W 40 Diesel Motor Oil, a special line of oil geared towards the trucking industry.
"Revolution Oil is proud to partner with the Pro Cup Series as their new title sponsor," said Butch Conz, spokesman for Revolution Oil. "We are looking forward to beginning our involvement with the Pro Cup Series and working together to increase the visibility of both organizations. It has been a pleasure working with Pro Cup Series President Jack McNelly and his staff to craft a partnership that will enhance the value of Pro Cup events for both competitors and fans, while also increasing sales of the entire Revolution Oil line of products."

I'm really new to SQL Agent jobs, but I am attempting to build up a maintainance regime for a server that will be turned off and on again at unknown intervals. It may run without being shutdown for a month, or it might only be turned on 9-5... we don't know and the client can't tell us because they don't know.
So what I'm wondering is, what do I need to do to get SQL Server to run monthly and daily jobs either when they are due, or if the due date is missed, get them to be run when the server is next powered on. I could come up with a mish-mash of periodic jobs and 'on-power-up' jobs, but if there is something more elegant that would be wonderful.
Obviously I'll need to ensure the SQL Server Agent is configure to start when the computer is powered up, but what else?

Blogger Reality Steve is certain that Nikki Ferrell is "Bachelor" Juan Pablo's final pick, but fans of the show are wondering if he could be wrong in light of the fact that his final rose spoiler was wrong on Desiree Hartsock's season of "The Bachelorette."
Of course, there are those who support Team Clare and hope Reality Steve's spoilers are completely wrong and he picks the woman who got up close and personal with him in the ocean while visiting Vietnam this season.
- Juan Pablo & Nikki fighting after final rose ceremony
- Does 'Bachelor' Juan Pablo live with Camila's mom, Carla Rodriguez?
Others who don't believe Reality Steve speculate that Juan Pablo will pull a Brad Womack and walk away from both Clare and Nikki. If you don't recall, Womack was the star of "The Bachelor" Season 11 and rejected both DeAnna Pappas and Jenni Croft at the final rose ceremony.
Despite all of the gossip, Reality Steve is still holding strong about this season's spoilers. He continues to state on his blog that there is no doubt in his mind that Juan Pablo will pick Nikki, but he will not propose to her at the final rose ceremony.
However, he did state that his sources revealed that Juan Pablo may be getting a little extra cash to propose on the live "After the Final Rose" special that airs after the season finale on Monday night.
Does ABC pay 'Bachelor' Juan Pablo to propose to Nikki on 'ATFR' special?
What will happen on the finale and will Reality Steve tweet an "I told you so" for being right or a lame "Sorry, I messed up" when his spoiler is proven wrong?
So far this season, his spoilers have been spot on, so it seems that he will be doing the victory dance when the show ends tonight.
Tune in to "The Bachelor" at 8 p.m. ET on ABC to find out who Juan Pablo picks (or doesn't pick). The "ATFR" special airs right after the finale.

I've been waiting for over a year to turn 40 and share my story! After my 14 year marriage ended in divorce, I took that challenging time and decided to become MORE of what I could ever be! A mother with more to give to my children, a woman with more to give to my faith and my friends! More to give to my passion~a personal trainer and nutrition consultant that helps other women of my age live their best lives!
2 years ago I took chance and met my fiance online! A soldier in Iraq and months of letters later, we fell in love before we even met. After our embrace upon meeting, he reached for my hand and I felt like my best friend had come home. This wonderful man loves my children and supports me in all my endeavors.
My most fabulous life is right now!

2011 NHL Awards
Gillis would trade GM award for Cup
Thursday, 06.23.2011 / 12:13 AM
John Kreiser - NHL.com Columnist
It's not that Mike Gillis was unhappy about being named the NHL's top general manager at the NHL Awards show. It's just that he'd gladly have traded the trophy he received Wednesday night for the one he and the
Vancouver Canucks
team he built didn't get a week earlier.
"It's great, I guess," Gillis said. "It's nice, I appreciate it but I would trade it in anytime for a Stanley Cup."
Gillis' Canucks came up one win short in their bid for the first Stanley Cup in the franchise's 41-year history -- the Canucks lost 4-0 in Game 7 to the
Boston Bruins
. But even that disappointment couldn't erase the accomplishments of the greatest season in franchise history.
The Canucks won the Northwest Division for the third time in a row since Gillis took over as GM in 2008.
They also won the Presidents' Trophy as the NHL's regular-season champion for the first time in franchise history, and they became the first team since the 1977-78
Montreal Canadiens
to lead the NHL in both scoring goals and preventing them.
After seeing his team eliminated by Chicago in the second round in 2009 and 2010, Gillis went to work last summer, adding
Dan Hamhuis
to bolster the defensive corps and signing valuable depth forwards
Manny Malhotra
Raffi Torres
. Trade deadline acquisitions
Maxim Lapierre
Chris Higgins
also played valuable roles in the Canucks' first trip to the Final since 1994.
He's already looking forward to getting back to the Final next spring -- and coming up with that elusive 16th playoff win.
"We need to keep our players and we need to have some younger players get the opportunity," he said. "I think there are some areas that we're going to try and focus on this summer. We'll change the role of certain players that we need to focus on but get through the next week and get to July 1 and see where we're at.
"I'm happy with this group, I don't think you can argue with the results for the most part, and to try and now address one thing that happened -- I don't think is realistic. I think we need to keep getting better as a group and if we do we will have an opportunity to go far."

The obligatory celebrity clothing lines started with D'Amore by Marceau, a line of swimwear by model-actress-restaurant scion Caroline D'Amore that looked like it was pulled from the Rampage sale rack—think iridescent monokinis connected by big gold hoops and bikinis with glittery logos splashed across the bottoms. At least she wasn't upstaged by fellow fame-seeker Lauren Conrad, who followed up last year's debut with yet another ho-hum collection of unflattering jersey maxidresses.
The classic eco-fashion label—now a mainstay at Smashbox—was also well represented on the runway. Newcomer Viridis Luxe demonstrated the difficulties of holding a runway show with just jeans and t-shirts. Every look was styled with the same baggy, ripped denim and pocket chains—including, perplexingly, the dresses. Fellow bastion of sustainability Ecoganik's attempt was more successful, even considering some of the pieces—a peplum maxidress, a series of high-waisted A-line minis—were slightly reminiscent of Conrad's collection.
The following two days also saw the standard "emerging" evening gown designer—led by Russian designer Lana Fuchs, who, despite a few attention-grabbing pieces, isn't exactly red carpet ready. And, of course, there was the inevitable fashion bigwig feting his triumphant return to the catwalks. This latter category was filled by Christian Audigier, whose Sex-Pistols-meets-The Hills "American Lord" collection featured a spangly jacket with his own face on the back in an ill-conceived "God Save the Queen" nod.
Despite this dismal rundown, there were, as always, a few bright spots. Crispin & Basilio's elastic-waisted skirts, tissue-thin leather jackets and raw-edged silk cocktail dresses weren't exactly groundbreaking, but they represented all that's good about so much West Coast fashion: it's uncomplicated, subtly luxurious and breeds those go-to pieces you'll always turn to in a wardrobe crisis. It's unfortunate that more of these designers aren't represented on the show schedule, but they're giving us hope for what LA Fashion Week may become in the future, no matter how hopeless it may seem today.

College Hockey:New UND Arena Plans Unveiled
GRAND FORKS, N.D. — If there's a glow coming from Grand Forks, N.D., it's probably from the smiles of everyone connected to the University of North Dakota and its hockey team as the university released plans for the new Ralph Engelstad arena, an 11,406-seat complex scheduled to be completed for the 2002-03 season.
The arena will replace the current Engelstad Arena, which seats 6,067, and compared to the current arena, which is strikingly devoid of amenities, the new arena will be something of a paradise.
There will be 40 luxury suites and two rental rooms capable of holding 140 people each. In a double-decked shape, the arena will hold 5,586 spectators in the lower level.
Plans also call for four elevators and four escalators, a pro shop, training facilities, at least eight locker rooms, 12 concession stands and an eight-sided scoreboard with replay screen.
Engelstad, a former UND goaltender and a Las Vegas hotel and casino owner, donated $100 million in December — half of which is going to fund the construction of the second arena that will bear his name.
The UND arena is the latest in a series of facility improvements in the WCHA. Colorado College opened the Colorado Springs World Arena in the 1997-98 season, Wisconsin made its debut in the Kohl Center last season and Denver will christen the Magness Arena in October. In addition, Michigan Tech's MacInnes Student Ice Arena underwent a facelift in the offseason, including the construction of a new hockey education center adjacent to the arena.

Online Dual Credit Courses
High school juniors and seniors (students 16 to 19 years old) can get a head start on college by taking online dual credit courses from Taylor University Online. Students are welcome to take any of our 110 courses (view course catalog) and may take up to 24 credit hours prior to high school graduation. These college courses can simultaneously count as high school credits, as determined by guidance counselors or homeschool parents.
Taylor University Online does not have a vetting process for high school students. We trust in the discretion of the student and parents as to whether the student is prepared to take a college course. The structure of our online courses is very flexible and requires a student to be self-motivated and disciplined in order to succeed. The biggest difference between high school and college courses is the shift in responsibility of learning from the teacher to the student, and our course structure accentuates this shift. The flexibility of our online dual credit courses is a first taste of the freedom college allows and the discipline and self-motivation it requires to succeed at this level.
Please follow the link for our recommendations and testimonials from other high school students on which online dual credit courses to choose. And, contact our High School Advisor, Noelle Brennan, with any questions!
Noelle Brennan
High School Advisor
Course Structure
The online dual credit courses are college courses. They are not modified in any way for high school students. Courses are taught online through Blackboard, our course management system. All of the course information is accessed through Blackboard, which also serves as a communication platform.
The courses are offered in an independent study format, which means there is only one student in the class. He/she completes assignments at his/her pace while working one-on-one with the professor. There are no assignment due dates enforced by the professor. The coursework is due four months from registration, but can be completed early. Students can register and begin a course any day of the year through our open enrollment system.
Enrollment Procedure
To take an online dual credit course, simply fill out the enrollment form on the website and enter "homeschool" or the name of your high school in the "current school attending" field. Upon submitting an enrollment form and paying tuition, the student will be registered for the class and able to begin coursework the following business day. He/she will receive an email from the office with information regarding how to begin the course, including: a username, password, and instructions for how to login and navigate the course.
High school students receive a reduced tuition rate of $200 per credit hour. The regular tuition rate is $400/hour. The discount does not apply to professional writing courses taken in conjunction with the Jerry Jenkins Writers Guild.
Due to system limitations, your credit card statement will reflect a pending charge for the full tuition amount. We will change the amount to be charged to the discounted rate, and it will settle appropriately on your statement. Please contact our office if you have questions regarding this at 800-845-3149.
Though textbooks are not included in the price of tuition, it is possible to find used books for most of the classes, and for your convenience our website links to Amazon.
Taylor University is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and a member of the North Central Association. The virtual campus is also affiliated with the Association of Christian Continuing Education Schools and Seminaries as well as the Indiana College Network.
Credits earned by taking a dual credit course are transferable to other higher education institutions. You will need to request a transcript in order to transfer the credits.

Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Fahd Ibn Abdul Aziz today received a cable from President of Algeria Lamine Zeroual expressing his appreciation for the warm welcome given him during his state visit to the Kingdom from October 7 to 9, and also his satisfaction over its positive outcome, which includes plans for a November meeting of the Joint Saudi-Algerian Economic Commission.
In a joint communiqué issued yesterday by Saudi Arabia and Algeria, the two countries rejected the settlement policy being adopted by the current Israeli government and called on the international community, and notably the co-sponsors of the peace process, to work to halt such settlements, stressing the importance of the commitment of all parties to the principles agreed upon.
The communiqué reiterated the determination of the two countries to reject violence and terrorism, and to enhance Arab solidarity, as well as working to develop bilateral relations.

The decision was approved at the regularly scheduled board meeting on Tuesday, July 30.
"Casting directors play an essential role in the filmmaking process," Academy President Cheryl Boone Isaacs said. "Their inclusion on our board will only broaden our perspective and help ensure that the Academy continues to accurately reflect the state of filmmaking today."
The Casting Directors Branch brings the Academy to 17 branches, with three members representing each branch on the Board of Governors. The Academy will hold special elections this fall to select the three governors of the newest branch.
