Senior executives in television, technology, finance and advertising will gather on Wednesday, June 11 at the Business of Multiplatform TV Summit to attend keynote interviews and panel discussions featuring leaders in multichannel programming, investment and sponsorship.
Showtime Networks' Chairman and CEO Matt Blank will set the tone for the day-long conference as the Opening Keynote. The Summit will be presented by three of the industry's premier publications, Broadcasting & Cable, Multichannel News and TV Technology, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. EDT at the Roosevelt Hotel at 45 East 45th Street and Madison Avenue in New York City.
The theme of this year's Summit is "Where do we go from here: new directions for the dynamic multiplatform TV business." The conference will focus on the business aspects of the television industry and its keynote interviews and panel discussions will address areas of current and potential revenue and profitability.
The opening keynote interview at 10 a.m. EDT is with Matt Blank, Chairman and CEO of Showtime Networks, who will share his perspective of the current state of the television business—with a particular focus on the transition of the industry from a linear-only multichannel experience to a model that offers increased options for multiplatform access for viewers.
The other featured keynote interviews will focus on specific areas of the business. For example, Will Funk, SVP, Sponsorship Integration and Business Development at Turner Sports Ad Sales, will address the new sports sponsorship opportunities available to advertisers in a multiplatform environment. He will share case studies like the multiplatform telecast of the 2014 NCAA March Madness and others. Likewise, Jackie Kulesza, SVP/Group Director, Video from Starcom USA, will share the agency's "TV is everywhere" strategy, which affords advertisers greater impact across platforms. Finally, Jessica Reif Cohen, Senior Media and Entertainment Analyst for Bank of America/ Merrill Lynch, will share her thoughts about the financial health of select segments of the business during a lunchtime interview.
The feature interviews are complemented by four panel discussions, each of which addresses a different business-related topic. They include the following:
A distribution technology panel focused on the future of video and content delivery features Todd Barkes, VP of Operations, YANGAROO; Gianluca Ferremi, VP Business Development at Motive Television; Tom Lattie, VP of Product Management at Harmonic; Barry Tishgart, VP at Comcast Wholesale and John Vartanian, Chief Technology Officer at iN DEMAND.
A panel on the consumer's experience of multiplatform TV, especially as viewership becomes more "personalized" via individual handheld devices, features Chip Carter, SVP of TV Product Development and Strategy at NBCUniversal Digital Distribution; Kelly Day, Chief Digital Officer at AwesomenessTV; Bill Dodd, Chairman & CEO of DIRECTPATH; Barry Myers, CEO of AccuWeather; and Wared Segar, CEO of Parrot Analytics.
A panel that addresses interactive advertising features James J. Ackerman, Executive Chairman of Broadway Systems; John Boland, VP of Advertising Market Development, ARRIS; DJ Cavanaugh, CEO, Matrix Solutions; and Catherine Warburton, Chief Investment Officer, Assembly.
A panel that focuses on content by looking at how programming is now breaking with tradition features such digital executives as Marc DeBevoise, EVP and GM for Entertainment, News and Sports, CBS Interactive, and Dan Suratt, EVP, Digital Media and Business Development at A+E Networks.
The Summit is produced for the presenting publications by The Schramm Marketing Group, based in New York City.

Nota Bene - Vol. 17 Issue 15
Vol. 17 Issue 15 - Apr 5, 2013
Genocide remembered with series of events next week
Over the past four years, Heidelberg has developed a relationship with the Jimmy Lichtman family and we now have established the Lichtman-Behm Genocide Series. Mr. Lichtman, a Holocaust survivor, died last year. In his memory, his grandson, David Estrin, started the Coalition for Preserving Memory. David, who is a student at Duke University, initiated the first reading of names of victims of genocide and other atrocities on April 6-7 last year. The date he chose was Yom Hashoa, the Day of Remembrance of the Holocaust.
This year Heidelberg is joining with Duke University and other schools to remember the victims so that we never forget and that we work for a world where these atrocities will not occur. You are invited to sign up for the reading of names on Heidelberg's campus from 3-6 p.m. on Monday, April 8. The readings will be held at the Peace Pole in front of Campus Center. Two people will alternate in reading names in 10-minute intervals. Students, faculty, staff and community members are invited to sign up to read names at this link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AuO6mkPuMX07dGVUcGhwNExGV2J...
At the conclusion of the reading of names, a panel discussion, led by Dr. Marc O'Reilly, will be held in Campus Center 220. You can read more about this event at http://www.todayweremember.org/ and follow on Twitter using the hashtag #TodayWeRemember.
Groups participating in the event include the Cultural and Spiritual Club, Campus Fellowship, Berg UCC, the Lichtman-Behm Genocide Series Committee members, Religious Life, International Affairs and Studies and others.
Heidelberg students will have an opportunity to contribute in support of Rwanda genocide victims at a unique event next week.
Friday is the last day to nominate someone to arm wrestle head football coach Mike Hallett or Dean Dustin Brentlinger. Each nomination costs $1. The wRestling for Rwanda matches will be held Wednesday, April 10, during the lunch hour in Hoernemann.
Additionally, everyone is encouraged to wear purple – the official color for genocide awareness -- on Thursday, April 11.
There is a connection between the genocide awareness events and Jerilyn Medrea, who will be on campus next week as the guest of the spring Patricia Adams Lecture Series.
Liquidnet, the company for which Jerilyn serves as global head of talent engagement, has a corporate social engagement program which she oversees. Liquidnet for Good includes a series of programs, including its signature project, the Agahozo-Shalom Youth Village, a pioneering project that helps orphans of Rwanda's genocide. She is a member of the village's Board of Directors.
All proceeds from the wRestling for Rwanda will be donated to the Agahozo-Shalom Youth Village.
Get ready for PALS next week
Heidelberg is getting ready to welcome alumna Jerilyn Medrea, '77, as the guest for the spring Patricia Adams Lecture Series next week. Whether or not you are planning to attend the Thursday, April 11, dinner and keynote lecture, there are plenty of other opportunities to hear Jeri speak about her career as an expert in corporate human relations on Thursday:
- Session 1 -- 11 a.m. (Gundlach Theatre) -- Aligning your Values with your Career
- Session 2 -- 2 p.m. (Gundlach Theatre) – Strategic Human Resources and the Bottom Line: People are an Asset, Not a Cost
- 5 p.m. (Seiberling Gymnasium) – How to Network, sponsored by the Office of Student Engagement
If you did not sign up to attend the reception and dinner, you are still welcome to attend Jeri's keynote address, which should start about 7 p.m. in Seiberling Gymnasium. The title is Purpose Beyond Profit.
If you RSVP'd for the dinner and need to cancel, the deadline to do so is noon Monday, April 8, to avoid a $30 charge.

At the annual meeting, Jessica and her committee hosted a round table presentation for students on various topics associated with professional development. Genna and Jessica were part of a volunteer team that hosted professional speakers and organized the three-day event.

'Rite of Spring': No riot
… just lovely piano music
One-hundred years ago, the premiere of Igor Stravinsky's ballet, Rite of Spring, created a riot that is still talked about to this day. The performance was overrun by insulting outbursts, whistling and booing. The audience was so loud that the dancers were unable to hear the music. As a result, the piece and its premiere became known as one of the most controversial works of the century.
Today, Rite of Spring has become a favorite of many classical music lovers. Its music is complex, consisting of intricate rhythmic patterns. To celebrate the 100th anniversary, the Joffrey Ballet Company revived the piece in February in Los Angeles. Now, a performance is coming to Heidelberg.
Dr. Margarita Denenburg and Ohio native Gerald Evans will perform the piece on two pianos during a program at 8 p.m. Saturday, April 20, in Brenneman Music Hall.
The version that Margarita and Gerald will perform was originally written by Stravinsky for four hands (one piano) alongside the orchestral version. "It is still an original work that the pianists split to two pianos which provides a rarely seen look into this famous piece," she said.

First faculty endowed
chair established
The first of six endowed faculty chairs has been officially named and funded, and will be launched in the next academic year, President Rob Huntington has announced.
The process is under way to fill the Swinehart Family Endowed Chair in Education at Heidelberg University with a member of the faculty from the School of Education.
"The significance of this gift from the Swinehart families – Ralph and Joan (Swinehart) Talmage and David and Peg (Swinehart) Baker – cannot and should not go understated," the president said. "Heidelberg is profoundly grateful to the Swinehart family for this generous gift that will allow us to continue our focus on academic excellence while providing much-needed support to our faculty."
This is Heidelberg's first endowed faculty chair since our founding in 1850; Ralph and Joan Talmage are providing the funding.
It is apropos that the family chose to designate the School of Education as the beneficiary of this first endowed chair. They have done so in recognition of the role Heidelberg has played in their families and careers and to support the preparation of future educators.

dell C9554 battery
by Long Zheng
dell C9554 battery
The biggest advantage of the laptop is its portability. This is tightly connected with the battery. Like this Dell C9554 battery, it offers power to the laptop and makes this laptop meaningful. Without the battery, it's useless to have the laptop in hand. As the saying goes "one can not make bricks without straws." Namely, the battery support power to the laptop in order to operate the process. According to this point, you can see the importance of the laptop. then you should attach more importance to the laptop battery.
If this Dell C9554 battery needs to get charged after half an hour under working condition, you may get irritated.
If this battery has damaged, your laptop becomes a high-tech scrap. So here introduce you the means of protect your laptop battery.
Here comes to the laptop battery maintenance. Generally, present laptop batteries have adopted the lithium as the main material. By the way, nickel-metal hydride batteries and nickel-cadmium batteries are basically no longer in use. This changed due to the better performance on the memory effect of the lithium battery. That is to say, lithium battery has less memory effect than the other two material batteries. Here should be put forward that, although the lithium-ion battery memory is not obvious. It also has the memory effect after long time unreasonable use. when you use the battery, take it under the normal circumstances and the avoid the arbitrary charge and discharge while using it.
Otherwise there will be much trouble coming up with your battery.
In addition, for this dell I seldom charge it over or discharge it completely in order to save its life. If possible, once a month full charge and discharge the battery for one time or three months. Another point is that if you use an external power source AC adapter, it is best to unplug the battery. Moreover, the hot state will reduce the life of the battery. That is the same to the ac adapter as well as the laptop itself.
If there is an emergency situation, remove the battery and take it to the service center for help. This is the last straw for your battery. Only expert know how to handle it.

Every lens forms an image at a certain distance for a certain subject. In order for a lens to be "focussed" on the subject this image must land on the sensor. For an object at infinity, the lens forms an image at a distance of f, where f is the focal length. For an object close enough for 1:1 magnification the lens forms an image at a distance of 2*f, double the focal length. So making a macro lens is easy, just create the lens barrel to place the principal plane of the lens a distance of 2*f from the sensor.
Making this lens also focus to infinity is the tricky part. You could rack all the elements forward to bring them a distance of f from the sensor plane. But this would result in a lens that changed its physical length significantly when focussing. There would also be problems with vignetting and light loss like you get with extension tubes. (This method is in fact exactly the same as using tubes.) The other option is to change the focal length when focussing.
Most macro lenses use the second approach. So a "100mm" macro lens will be 100mm when focussed to infinity, throwing an image 100mm behind the principal plane, but will then shrink to 50mm at macro distances, still throwing an image 100mm behind the principal plane, which is now 2*f.

>UFCW Gold Covers Capitol Hill
Nebraskans Patricia Harris, Armando Martinez, and Jorge Angel – all UFCW members – were on Capitol Hill to share their experience about having a union at work and to urge their elected officials to support the passage of the Employee Free Choice Act.
"I know that having a union makes the difference because I have worked in places where employees were harassed and threatened when they tried to join a union," Martinez said:
When I started working at the Hormel Foods plant in Freemont in 1998, UFCW Local Union 22 already represented the workers. All I needed to do was sign up to show I wanted to join.
Harris, Angel, and Martinez are urging Senators Mike Johanns (R-NE) and Ben Nelson (D-NE) to support the the Employee Free Choice Act. They are just a few of the hundreds of UFCW members and other workers from across the country who visited the halls of Congress to speak with their elected officials and urge passage of the Employee Free Choice Act.
Many of the workers have experienced firsthand the disappointment of being unable to join a union, despite the fact that a majority of they and their co-workers wanted to join one. Darlene Bruzio and her co-workers at Giant Eagle grocery store in Pennsylvania lost their union election, despite having majority support at work, because of employer interference. She said:
When you have more 80% support like we did at my store and still lose an election, you know that the system is broken. Congress has to realize that and pass the Employee Free Choice Act.
Another grocery worker, James Satler, is a former Fresh and Easy worker from California who says he was fired for trying to organize a union at his workplace:
I believe that if Congress really cares about fixing the economy, it should pass Employee Free Choice because it will allow us to have better wages and benefits. Our economy is stronger when more American workers have more money to spend.
Satler, along with Celia Cisneros and Diane Garcia, say they were fired for trying to form a union at their California workplaces. They are in town to urge Senators Diane Feinstein (D-CA) and Barbara Boxer (D-CA) to support the Employee Free Choice.
"I noticed a lot of things that weren't right at work and I called the union for help," Garcia, a Pomona resident, said of her experience trying to form a union several years ago at Big Saver:
The company did not like the fact that we were trying to form a union and they did everything they could to prevent unionization. In the end, they fired me.
Cisneros' experience is no different. Despite being a model worker for several years at Foster Farms, the Lindsay resident was fired when she became too involved with the union. She said:
I worked there for seven years without having one point against me. But when I became a vocal supporter of the union, they fired me and cut my medical insurance. I have a family to take care of. Fortunately, the union helped me get my job back.
UFCW Local 700 member Rick Jackson, a grocery worker in Indiana, was there to urge Senators Richard Lugar (R-IN) and Evan Bayh (D-IN) to support the bill.
"The union helped me and I know that having a union at work makes a difference," said Jackson, a meat manager from Huntington.
Yolanda Abreu from Las Cruces, New Mexico was there to speak on Employee Free Choice. "When my coworkers and I tried to form a union at Albertsons, the company responded with threats and harassment." She continued:
Managers held mandatory meetings bashing the union, threatened workers with loss of benefits, and offered preferential treatment to those who promised to oppose the union. Even after three elections and a year of waiting, we still face a company across the table that has little legal incentive to negotiate a contract quickly or fairly. There is no better proof that the current system is broken, and that workers need the Employee Free Choice Act to protect their right to join a union of their choosing.
Abreu is urging Senators Jeff Bingaman (D-NM) and Tom Udall (D-NM) to support the bill. This is just the first step for her and other UFCW members and workers across the country, who have pledged to continue to contact their members of Congress, as well as write letters and blogs, sign cards, and take an active role in urging passage of Employee Free Choice.
WASHINGTON, DC – UFCW members from across the country visited the halls of Congress today to speak with their elected officials and to urge passage of the Employee Free Choice Act. The workers, who have tried to join the UFCW, came to Washington to share their stories about forming a union in the workplace and to urge their elected representatives in Congress to make the passage of Employee Free Choice a priority.
The action comes on the heels of the introduction earlier this month of the legislation in both the Senate and the House.
"I believe that if Congress really cares about fixing the economy and rebuilding the middle class, it should pass the Employee Free Choice Act," said James Satler, a former Fresh & Easy grocery worker from California. "The economy should work for everyone, not just CEOs." Satler was fired for attempting to organize a union at his workplace.
Despite having majority support at work, Darlene Bruzio and her co-workers at Giant Eagle in Pennsylvania lost their union election because of employer interference. "When you have more than 80% support for joining a union, like we did at my store, and still lose an election, you know that the system is broken," Bruzio said. "Members of Congress should stop the corporations that are gaming the system by passing the Employee Free Choice Act."
While most workers' stories heard in Congress today highlight the intimidation and harassment workers face when trying to form a union, Armando Martinez, a Hormel Foods worker from Nebraska, shared a positive experience of getting a voice on the job without intimidation. "I know that having a union makes the difference because I have worked in places where employees are threatened when they try to get a voice on the job," Martinez said. "When I started working at the Hormel Foods plant in Freemont, the UFCW already represented the workers. All I needed to do was sign up to show I wanted to join the union—all without any intimidation or harassment from the company."
Sixty million workers say they would join a union if they could. With Employee Free Choice, workers, not employers, will decide how to form a union. Workers will have the option of majority sign up in addition to a secret ballot election. The Free Choice legislation will establish meaningful penalties for employers who break the law and harass or fire workers for wanting a union. Finally, Employee Free Choice will ensure that workers gain a first contract through a provision that calls for binding arbitration if workers and management cannot reach an agreement within 120 days.

Actress Lupita Nyong'o picked up one more honor to add to her award-winning year. The film star has been named People's Most Beautiful person. The magazine unveiled its 2014 World's Most Beautiful list on Tuesday with the Oscar winner finishing at the top. Nyong'o also graces the cover of People's latest issue which will be on newsstands at the end of the week.
She tells the magazine in a behind-the-scenes video of her photo shoot that she didn't always feel beautiful growing up.
"The first person to tell me I was beautiful was definitely my mother. She said that a lot especially when I felt the least bit beautiful which is you know as an adolescent you go through times when you just feel ugly generally. But my mother always said I was really beautiful and I finally believed her at some point."
Actresses Gabrielle Union and Kerry Washington also made People's Most Beautiful list.
Nyong'o won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her star-making role in Steve McQueen's "12 Years a Slave".

Luckey says the field may evolve so that different medications are prescribed at different stages of life. One scenario might involve a patient taking a low dose of estrogen close to menopause to protect bones and help with menopausal symptoms, followed by Evista to reduce the risk of breast cancer and osteoporosis, and then use of a bisphosphonate, if needed, later in life when hip-fracture prevention becomes increasingly important.
The bottom line: Experts agree that bisphosphonates prevent a lot of fractures in elderly patients with severe osteoporosis, and more of these people should be getting the drugs. If you are in your fifties and have a mother in her eighties, most likely she is a better candidate for bisphosphonate therapy than you are. Before taking these drugs, consult with your doctor to be absolutely sure you have real osteoporosis or a high FRAX score. If you do begin this course of therapy, get checked after three to five years to see if you still need it. As Dell observes, "You don't give tumor drugs to prevent a tumor, and you shouldn't give an oral bisphosphonate to prevent osteoporosis in someone who doesn't have osteoporosis. This is a potent medication, not to be used by people who don't need it."

We would like to go to a cabana, please. We don't care where. Anyplace with cabanas is most likely somewhere we'd be very happy to go. Do they have cabanas in Siberia? No way. The Maldives? Absolutely. I think we've made our point. While there, we'll happily lounge about in this Cabana Chemise ($68). Light and comfortable with a cute rope belt accent, it has the added bonus of being able to slip on and off over our bikinis, so that we can move easily from cabana to beach to tiki bar.

I have some work that needs to be done on 50+ servers. The first step is to checkout an updated version of some source code onto a shared directory (assume all have the shared drive mounted). The second is to perform some work on each of the servers.
I'd prefer to have these two scripts run on each of the servers. All 50+ servers are cloned from a single disk image and it's not practical for me to customize any of them.
When the 50 servers run the first script, I want only the first one that tries to run it to actually run it. The others I want to simply exit. The server that actually runs the script should then update a shared directory, then exit. Then, later, the second script will run and perform the work on all servers based on the updated code that the first server fetched.
What's the best way to do this? Can I reliable have the first script run on one server and create a file or something that acts as a 'semaphore' or 'lock' of some sort that keeps the other servers away?
Making this more complicated is that I'm thinking of having the scripts run from identical cron files on each of the servers -- meaning all scripts could try to run it at the same time assuming all their clocks are set identically.
I'm hoping these will be run from bash scripts. Does this make sense as an approach?
EDIT: Updated based on questions:
We don't want every server to try to checkout it's own copy of these files -- they are in a multi-GB source code repository and having 50+ simultaneous checkouts of that code would be difficult for our source control server (and not scalable to 100+ servers).
Adding a cronjob to the 50+ servers is not that big of an issue, but adding another customized server with it's own configuration is harder. We're already cloning the 50 servers -- maintaining a separate server just to checkout an the latest source code for the 50+ servers to access seems wasteful and will add more overhead than just adding a script to our current servers.

Positive attention is a powerful way of reinforcing good behavior. Show your kids that you notice when they do well.
How often do you notice when your child is doing the right thing, doing well and behaving? Do you acknowledge this? Reward them? Do you show them love and affection? Is there special time spent with each child, cuddle time, reward time? If your child receives no positive feedback, how are they to know that you appreciate their efforts to behave, that you are proud of them, and that you love them?
Each of your children needs their own special time with mom, dad, or both, individual attention, one-to-one, and not shared with siblings. Parents may find that they are giving all of their attention to the child who misbehaves and none to the child who is doing the right thing. Different aged children have different needs based on their age, making it hard for parents to juggle time and find a balance.
Do your children receive rewards for good behavior? And what form does it take? It could be in the form of praise, a sticker on a chart, a treat, toy, or outing. Or do you find yourself going overboard and making the reward much larger than the behavior warrants, perhaps out of a sense of guilt that you weren't able to spend more time with the child. However, gifts and treats can't make up for the time missed and even though your child seems happy to receive the treat, you are setting yourself and your child up for difficulties that will come during the time that you don't reward with a treat. One parent tells a story about her son, saying that every pay day was their special treat time with a stop at McDonald's and then to the toy store for a prize, until one day she woke to the realization that she was creating an expectation in her son that could become never-ending, and so she explained to him that this would not be happening anymore and changed treats to a much more sparse event and used library time or movie time together rather then their prior trips.
And what method do you use for negative behaviors? These behaviors also bring attention but is it in the form of shouting at your child or losing your temper? Do you set a good example and model the correct behavior? Are you using time out and are you being consistent? Children know when you are making empty threats and learn to ignore you. And when you correct your child's behavior, do you explain why or do you just say "because I told you to?" And do your methods work so that you don't find yourself correcting the same behaviors over and over?
Every child needs the attention of their parents. Parents who are paying attention to their children are more likely to have a good relationship with their child, and have better compliance. Parents who ignore their children will find themselves correcting the same behaviors over and over again, and often not getting compliance as the children are used to doing whatever they want. Which kind of parent are you? Think about it and remember that parents are their child's first teacher.
If you are looking for a good selection of child development books, check out your local library in Vineland or Millville, or make a trip to Millville to Bogart's Books, a local book exchange.

How Reading Novels Makes You an Elitist
I just got back from a trip to Connecticut where I made a pilgrimage to the Mark Twain house. It was a semi religious experience for me to see the desk that Twain sat at to write three of his most famous novels.
Today I have come to read that being a fan of literature makes me an elitist in Tim O'Reilly's eyes.
But I don't really give a shit if literary novels go away. They're an elitist pursuit. And they're relatively recent. The most popular author in the 1850s in the US wasn't Herman Melville writing Moby-Dick, you know, or Nathaniel Hawthorne writing The House of the Seven Gables. It was Henry Wadsworth Longfellow writing long narrative poems that were meant to be read aloud. So the novel as we know it today is only a 200-year-old construct. And now we're getting new forms of entertainment, new forms of popular culture.
Much of contemporary entertainment can find its roots in novels. O'Reilly's glib dismissal of the genre is extraordinarily vacuous. Sort of what you'd expect from a narrow minded elitist who hasn't read a whole lot in his life.

Apartment was extremely nice and very clean. Ulrika was great as she was there upon our arrival and gave very helpful information on getting around and restaurant recommendations. The apartment is in a great location with easy walking access to all the sights in Florence. I would highly recommend this to anyone.
Really enjoyed our stay. Good Location not very far from the city centre.
My husband and I stayed two weeks at Lodges le Mura "Palazzo Vecchio". Our stay was perfect and we can recommend this appartement to everybody. The appartment is very clean and has good facilities. Ulrika is a very very friendly and extremly helpfull person. Every thing worked as agreed on.
Ulrika, thank you for everything!
We had a very good time at Ulrikas apartment and the whole family is already looking forward to coming back next week. Nice and neat, quite big apartment with a terrace for all to use. Located in a very nice area of Florence close to the Porta Romana (if you like to be some distance away from the millions of people downtown). Highly recommend
Nice stay - I hope we will be back :o)
Modern, bright, tasteful apartment that leaves no wishes unfulfilled.
Ulrika is a very prudent and sensitive hostess.
Thank you for the wonderful days in Florence.
Moderne, helle, geschmackvolle Wohnung, die keinerlei Wünsche offen lässt.
Ulrika ist eine sehr umsichtige und einfühlsame Gastgeberin.
Danke für die schönen Tage in Florenz.
We stayed for 10 days in Ulrika's apartment "Ponte Vecchio". The apartment has two spacious rooms with attached bathrooms. Everything was brand new and spotlessly clean which highly appreciated. The apartment has its own terrace where we enjoyed the morning sun while the rest of the day we could also sit out there as it was very cool and shady. The location was perfect being walking distance from all the main attractions but yet in a quiet area with a lot of greenery and great eating places. Ulrika and her husband Antonio were very friendly and helpful hosts. We highly recommend this place :-)
Lovely comfortable apartment, quiet yet close to a city tour of Florence. Sun terrace nice and charming host.
Très bel appartement tout confort, calme tout en étant a proximité des visites de la ville de florence . Terrasse ensoleillée bien agréable et hôte charmante .
Very nice location, very quiet, 10 minutes walk from the town center, with parking possible for the car just behind the location. Excellent bedding. Excellent benefits (new housing). Very nice shaded with views over the rooftops of Florence Terrace, flowery scented honeysuckle. Excellent welcome from our host, very friendly and open. Power nearby shops.
Très agréable location, très calme, à 10 mn à pied du centre ville, avec parking possible pour la voiture juste derrière la location. Literie excellente. Excellente prestations (logement neuf). Très agréable terrasse ombragée avec vue sur les toits de Florence, fleurie de chèvrefeuille parfumé. Excellent accueil de notre hôte, très cordiale et disponible. Commerces d'alimentation à proximité.
The apartment is very good, quiet, fresh and clean to a high standard, including nice bathroom, wi-fi and air conditioning. It is 25 minutes' walk from the Cathedral in a quiet area near the Porta Romana. Although the weather was cold and rainy, it was warm and dry in the apartment. When the sun shone the terrace was nice and relaxing to sit on. The kitchen is very small but well equipped. (We cooked for seven people without a problem.) Thanks to the living room, it was no problem to socialize or dine together. It is close to bus stop and a well-stocked supermarket (5 minutes). We recommend this accommodation warm. Elisabeth and Peter
Lägenheten är mycket bra, tyst, fräsch och ren med hög standard, bl.a. fina badrum, wi-fi och luftkonditionering. Den ligger 25 minuters gångväg från Domen i ett tyst område nära Porta Romana. Trots att vädret var kallt och regnigt var det varm och torrt i lägenheten. När solen sken var terrassen skön och trevlig att sitta på. Köket är mycket litet men väl utrustat. (Vi lagade mat för sju personer utan problem.) Tack vare sällskapsrummet var det inga problem att umgås eller äta tillsammans. Det är nära till busshållplats och en välsorterad mataffär (5 minuter).
Vi rekommenderar detta boende varmt.

Planning plays an important role in daily activities, and several experimental paradigms have been investigated with brain imaging methods showing activity in putative brain regions such as dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and other frontal and non-frontal regions. The Stockings of Cambridge (SOC), a related procedure to the Tower of London task, was introduced to 21 healthy subjects while they underwent bilateral transcranial Doppler sonography (TCD) of the middle (MCA) and anterior (ACA) cerebral arteries. Different levels of difficulty were applied during continuous registration of peak mean cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV). A specific test procedure allowed separating the actual planning from the execution phase. There was also a similar control task, which did not involve planning. CBFV differed among the planning, execution, and control conditions (MCA: P < 0.01; ACA: P < 0.001), but did not show a significant difference between the MCA and ACA (P > 0.1). Easy tasks yielded a more rapid increase of CBFV in the MCA compared to difficult problems during planning (P < 0.05). In conclusion, our findings of specific CBFV patterns support the idea of different cognitive challenges for planning and control and between easy and difficult conditions.

Modern Family Cast Strikes Salary Deal, Production to Resume
The "Modern Family" contract standoff has ended, and the hit ABC series will resume production.
As Gossip Cop reported earlier this week, the show's primary adult cast members — Ty Burrell, Julie Bowen, Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Eric Stonestreet — had reached an impasse with 20th Century Fox Television over salary and bonuses.
The five stars had the first table read for the fourth season of "Modern Family" canceled and filed a lawsuit to have their contracts voided.
But late Friday, following heated negotiations, the two sides agreed to terms.
The actors will reportedly see their compensation rise to approximately $170,000 apiece per episode, up from the estimated $65,000 they previously earned.
Ed O'Neill, whose prior per-episode salary of roughly $100,000 had been higher than his cast mates due to his pre-"Modern Family" fame, will also get a pay boost from separate negotiations.
All of the actors will see their compensation escalate as the show continues into a fifth season and beyond.
But for now, fans of "Modern Family" can rejoice — the show will resume production on Monday.

text: 08.22.13 10 Things You Need to Know About Financial Aid Soon the class of 2014 will start applying for college, and many current students will be getting ready to hit the books again this fall. For many, this time brings a focus on financial aid. Applying for financial aid can seem daunting, but it doesn't have to be – there are many resources to help students and parents navigate the process. To get you started, here are 10 things to keep in mind when it comes to paying for college and applying for financial aid: You're in good company. Approximately two-thirds of full-time undergraduate students receive financial aid in the form of grants, scholarships, loans or work-study, according to the College Board. You don't have to be a straight-A student. While there are scholarships awarded on academic merit, most government aid is based on financial need, so it's worth exploring your options. Don't forget to reapply every year. Unfortunately, applying for financial aid isn't like applying for college, where you apply once and are admitted for four (or more) years. If you're applying for federal financial aid, you'll need to reapply each year using the Free Application for Financial Student Aid (FAFSA). Get your paperwork in order. You'll need the income tax forms for yourself and, if you are a dependent, your parents/guardians from the previous year to apply for federal financial aid. These include income tax returns, W-2 forms and 1099 forms. If you're a married student, you also will need the documents for your spouse. File your taxes early. You can submit financial aid applications as early as January 1, and it's a good idea to submit your forms as soon as possible. Though you do not have to wait until you've filed your tax returns with the IRS – you can estimate your income for the previous year – it's easier if you complete your tax returns early so you can include the most accurate information on your financial aid applications. Ask about tax credits. You may be able to receive tax credits for your college expenses. The American Opportunity Tax Credit (AOTC), introduced in 2009, may be available for expenses paid for tuition, certain fees and course materials for higher education. Anyone who takes college classes also may be eligible to claim the Lifetime Learning Credit, which provides a tax credit of 20 percent of tuition expenses. Ask your tax preparer about the credits you may be eligible to receive. Double-check accuracy. Errors involving taxes are among the most common on financial aid applications. If you're using on online tax filing tool or other software, double-check your numbers for accuracy. If you're using a preparer, ask them to double check for errors. FinAid.org also offers information on how to avoid these mistakes. Special military programs exist. If you're a veteran or have family members in the military, you may be eligible for additional financial aid. Special scholarships, grants, benefits and loan terms are available for veterans, future military personnel, active duty personnel or students related to veterans or active duty personnel. Check out the U.S. Department of Education's website, which has a wealth of resources on federal student aid, including a section dedicated to aid for military families. 529 plan withdrawals are tax-free. If you will use savings in a 529 plan to pay for part of college expenses, the withdrawals are tax-free. However, be sure your withdrawals do not exceed the amount of qualified expenses or you may have to pay a penalty. Qualified expenses include tuition, fees, books, school supplies and equipment. Once you start paying back student loans, the interest may be tax-deductible. The interest paid on qualified student loans – loans you took out solely to pay qualified higher education expenses – can be deducted from your federal taxes. According to the College Board, in 2010, 7.6 million taxpayers with taxable returns deducted $7 billion in student loan interest, which generated more than $1 billion in savings. Applying for financial aid takes time and careful planning, but the process goes much more smoothly if you get all the information you need and your paperwork in order from the beginning. Don't hesitate to ask for help from your tax preparer. He or she can make sure you have the correct forms and don't miss out on valuable tax credits – and perhaps inspire you to take a finance class, too.

Interior Minister Prince Nayef Ibn Abdul Aziz arrived in Tripoli yesterday on an official visit to Libya, for talks which will have a positive impact on security cooperation between the two countries in line with the directives of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Fahd Ibn Abdul Aziz and Libyan President Muammar Gaddafi.
Referring to the meeting of Arab ministers of interior and justice due to be held in Cairo on April 24, 1998, Prince Nayef said that it is hoped that an agreement will be reached to uproot the phenomenon of terrorism in the Arab world, and noted that during his current visit an agreement will be signed for cooperation in security and exchange of information between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Libya, to be submitted to higher authorities for approval and ratification prior to implementation. He went on to say that a memorandum of understanding between the two countries on matters of information will also soon be signed, adding that it will be followed by other agreements serving the interests of the two countries and paving the way for constructive Arab cooperation.
Libyan secretary for public security Muhammad Mahmoud Hijazi said Prince Nayef's visit will lead to enhanced security cooperation, and reiterated his country's concern for cooperation with the Kingdom in various spheres, particularly in the field of combating terrorism, drugs and organized crime.

Some Missouri Republicans seem to be working against their own party platform to support Common Core State Standards in the state legislature, and at least one representative is blatantly mocking conservative constituents who oppose CCSS.
Representative, Mike Lair of district 7, chairs the Joint Committee on Education and the Appropriations-Education Committee. He also sits on the Interim Committee on Education. On Wednesday, he introduced an amendment to appropriate $8 for the purchase of two rolls of high-density aluminum for the purposes of making tin foil hats. In Lair's opinion, opponents of CCSS are conspiracy theorists, as he purports on his own facebook page, reported by The Missouri Torch.
"I have sat through, at least, six hours of presentation by "educational experts" that claim all sorts of conspiracy theories related to Common Core. Most of the research that I saw was amateurish (found only on the internet), and lacking in logic and had no relationship with real classrooms or in some cases the real world."
The Columbia Tribune reported, while Lair's amendments were approved, another representative, working to fight CCSS, was thwarted in introducing amendments, which would stop CCSS.
Republican Bryan Spencer of district 63, in Wentzville, tried to introduce amendment language banning the use of federal funds targeted to implement CCSS, but his efforts were defeated.
In 2012, the Missouri Republican Party added anti Common Core language to the Party Platform.
Resolution 2
WE RESOLVE: As Republicans, we reject Jimmy Carter's U.S. Department of Education and vow to eliminate the department. Also, we reject President Obama's Race to the Top and Common Core Curriculum to establish a national curriculum.
House Republican leadership has remained unresponsive on the division between its members, on this issue. When asked how, or if, leadership planned to address Lair's deviation from the party platform, Speaker of the House, Tim Jones, failed respond to inquiries regarding the tin foil hat issue. However, his Chief of Staff, Tom Smith, had this to say:
"The Speaker is very disappointed in the actions of Rep Mike Lair. Unfortunately, each member has their own voice, and their own opinions and they are accountable to their constituents.
We can only hope that the great people of the 7th district understand that he is not representing their values in Jefferson City."

OBJECTIVE: Motor vehicle accidents (MVA) and work-related injuries are two of the more common causes of chronic pain. Nevertheless, there is little evidence on predicting factors regarding the development of chronic pain following physical injury. METHODS: The present study investigated temporal associations between accident-related factors, psychological factors [symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, coping], and the development of chronic pain in a sample of individuals who had sustained severe accidental injuries (N=90). Assessments were performed within 1 month of the accident, and at 6, 12, and 36 months post trauma. RESULTS: A total of 40 individuals (44%) reported accident-related pain 3 years after the accident. Individuals with chronic pain showed significantly more symptoms of PTSD, depression, and anxiety, more disability, and more days off work. Analysis of temporal associations between psychological variables and the development of chronic pain indicated that the separation of the pain from the nonpain group mostly occurred between 6 (T2) and 12 months (T3). Differences were much less pronounced at T1. CONCLUSION: The prevalence of chronic pain in severely injured patients 3 years after the accident is considerably high. The development of chronic pain is more related to psychological factors, particularly PTSD symptoms, in the aftermath of the accident, as compared to sociodemographic and accident-related variables at the time of the accident. These findings may be helpful to elucidate the problems in predicting chronic pain conditions in injured subjects and to recognize the onset of a chronic pain condition more reliably.

Last year, I went to a park in Ventura County, to attend the joyous 80th birthday party of my Aunt Ruth's mother, Ann. Every single birthday has special significance for her, because she is a survivor of the Holocaust. As I looked around the party, I was profoundly moved by all of the guests that were there celebrating her life. I thought about how differently her story could have ended. It was empowering to think that because she survived, there are now several generations of my family that can carry on her legacy.
Ann was not the only survivor at her birthday party. I had the pleasure of meeting another couple Bernd & Judy Simon. From the moment Ann introduced us, it was obvious that they both had a very special presence. He began to share a bit of his story with me, and spoke in detail about the horror he experienced on Kristallnacht. I knew that I wanted to hear more about his life and asked if it would be possible to meet again. He embraced me with open arms and invited me to come to his home. We set a date and my friend Laurel Johnson and I traveled to Ventura to conduct an interview and to capture some photographs to use for this blog.
Bernd Simon was born in North Western Germany on May 20, 1920. He is now ninety-two years old, and lives at home with his wife Judy. His life was changed forever on November 10, 1938, the night that we now refer to as Kristallnacht. It was on that tragic night that Gestapo came to his family's home. They busted down the doors in early morning, chased them into an ice-cold cellar and then raided their apartment. All of their belongings were thrown out into the street and into the backyard over the balcony. The Gestapo then told him he had to clean up the street so that the traffic could pass. The Gestapo did not take Bernd that day, but later came back for him and forced him on to a freight train heading straight towards Dachau concentration camp. For two horrific days and two painfully long nights they were packed into the freight train, riding the "journey into hell." People died standing up, and fell to the ground when the doors were opened as they reached the gates of Dachau.
During Bernd's time as a prisoner in the camp, he was shot at three times, and lived with the reality that any day could be his last. But he never gave up hope, and lived his life with faith.
Bernd managed to survive Dachau ultimately because of a brilliant and heroic act performed by his mother. She devised a plan to falsify documents claiming that Bernd was requested for work out of the country and that he was needed immediately. Her plan worked and amazingly, he was released. With four dollars to his name, he went and lived in Cuba for two years before moving to the US and joining the US military. Initially, the military thought that he was a spy for the Germans, but he was able to prove otherwise. Bernd became an Army Air Core Intercept Officer and flew a B24 four-engine bomber. After his Air Corp discharge in 1945 in Vienna, he became a U.S. War Department Intelligence Officer with the CIC. His job was to track down, interrogate and arrest Nazi war criminals in post-war Europe, which he did with a vengeance until 1948.

There are so many amazing and courageous accomplishments that Bernd has achieved in his lifetime. I could spend all day writing about the heroic and honorable life he has lived. I was blown away by his ability to transform the darkness and despair he was forced to experience into a life filled with light, love, purpose, gratitude and service to others. From 1975-1985 Bernd worked as a full-time employee with the Ventura County Sheriffs. He worked with the inmates in booking, providing support services and making sure that every inmate was given food and clean clothing. He knew all too well how it felt to be hungry and believes that every person on this earth deserves to be treated with dignity.
As Bernd and I sat in his living room that day, it became clear to me why I was so drawn to his energy. He is a perfect example of transforming darkness into light.
© Laurel Johnson Photography
A short time later, as I began to go over my notes from Bernd's interview, I glimpsed down at the cover of Astronomy Magazine. I was drawn to a headline on the cover titled "Turning clouds of darkness into Stars of light" by Bruce Dorminey. I instantly thought of my friend Bernd Simon.
I learned that there are places in our Galaxy that are so dark they actually appear to be nothing at all. When the shadowy patches of clouds in the Milky Way were first seen through a telescope, astronomer's actually thought that they were seeing holes in the fabric of space. These dark clouds, called bok globules, are the coldest objects in the natural universe. "Despite their apparent nothingness, these molecular clouds turn out to be exceedingly important: They are the places where stars are born."
The connection was so clear to me. It is often in the darkest of places, that you can find the brightest of lights.
