The MisManagement of Talent: Employability and Jobs in the Knowledge Economy
The knowledge economy conjures a world of smart people, in smart jobs, doing smart things, in smart ways, for smart money, increasingly open to all rather than a few. It also conveys an image of enlightened employers actively seeking to diversify their talent pool, reflected in their approach to identifying, hiring, and retaining outstanding talent.
We are told that the challenge confronting governments around the world is to enhance the employability of the workforce. Every effort must be made to expand access to higher education, dismantle barriers to talent regardless of social circumstances, gender, or skill colour, and to harness human creativity and enterprise to meet the demands of the new economy.
This book comes to a different conclusion. Those leaving the world of mass higher education find themselves in a scramble for jobs with increasingly high stakes for the winners and losers. It examines what determines the outcomes of this race when a degree loses its badge of distinction. It shows what really happens in the selection events of leading-edge employers. It also argues that talent is being mismanaged by many employers that have yet to come to terms with the realities and possibilities of mass higher education.
This book also challenges much of the rhetoric of the knowledge economy and questions whether the demand for university graduates has increased in the way that the proponents of the knowledge economy suggest. Drawing on my earlier work on 'positional conflict theory' the book highlights the problems confronting the middle classes in their attempt to secure tough entry jobs.

An egg a day to keep allergies away, says recent research that finds half of children outgrow egg allergy, and may become tolerant to baked eggs. Avoiding sweet treats like pumpkin bread and cookies in any given holiday season might not be necessary for children with egg allergies. But don't try it if your child is severely allergic to eggs. "More than half of egg allergic children can tolerate hen's eggs when they are baked at 350 degrees in products such as cakes and breads," said allergist Rushani Saltzman, M.D., according to the November 9, 2012 news release, "An egg a day to keep allergies away." Saltzman is the lead study author and an American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology (ACAAI) member. "Dietary introduction of baked egg by an allergist can broaden a child's diet, improve quality of life and likely accelerate the development of an egg tolerance." The alternative for kids severely allergic to eggs is to go vegan, especially if such children are severely allergic to eggs, milk, fish, and shellfish. But what if a child is allergic to wheat and soybeans? The point is that there are alternative solutions to various allergies.
Recent studies presented at the American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology (ACAAI) Annual Scientific Meeting held in 2012 found that 56 percent of allergic children can tolerate baked hen's egg, while 55 percent outgrow their egg allergy entirely. In a separate study also presented at that meeting, Ruchi Gupta, M.D., lead study author and pediatrician, found that out of the eight common food allergens, children most commonly outgrew egg allergy. The eight common food allergens are milk, eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat and soy (soya, soybean). You may wish to see the list in an article, "The Big-8 | Food Allergy Research and Resource Program." The article notes that a group of the eight major allergenic foods is often referred to as the Big-8 and comprises milk, eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat and soybean.
These foods account for about 90% of all food allergies in the United States and must be declared on any processed food according to the USA food allergen labeling act (FALCPA). In addition labeling of the Big-8 is mandatory according to EU, Canadian, Japanese and Australian / New Zealand regulations, all of which follow Codex Alimentarius recommendations. Other allergens include buckwheat, celery, lupin, sesame seeds, mustard, and moluscan shellfish. The article, " The Big-8 | Food Allergy Research and Resource Program" has footnotes that give the sources for the percentages mentioned.
Allergic consumers may accidentally encounter problem foods as several of the Big-8. Allergens can be hidden in packaged cereals, for example eggs, milk, wheat, and soybean. These ingredients often are put into processed products' You also can chec out the site Food Allergy Research.
In the research study in introducing eggs to children allergic to eggs, but not severely allergic, the median dose tolerated was 2⁄5 baked hen's egg. The products tested were all baked at 350 degrees for a minimum of 30 minutes.
"Food tolerance was observed in one in four children, with 55 percent outgrowing their egg allergy by age seven," said Dr. Gupta, according to the November 9, 2012 news release, "An egg a day to keep allergies away."
"Developing an egg tolerance is the most common for children, followed by milk. A small proportion outgrew shellfish and tree nut allergies."
If children have shown a severe reaction to eggs in the past they are less likely to outgrow the allergy, according to researchers
Severe symptoms include rapid swelling of the skin and tissue, difficulty breathing and life-threatening anaphylaxis. "While these studies show many positive findings for children with egg allergy, parents must practice caution," said allergist Richard Weber, M.D., according to the news release. Weber is the ACAAI president-elect (as of the 2012 meeting). "Introducing an allergen back into a child's diet can have severe consequences, and only should be done under the care of a board-certified allergist." Parents can find a board-certified allergist in their area at the website AllergyAndAsthmaRelief.org.
Allergy, the irritated esophagus, and acid reflux
How allergic is your esophagus to specific foods if those foods irritate your esophagus or are the root cause of your acid reflux? Could you have eosinophilic esophagitis? Do you need to stop eating the six foods causing the most food allergies? The six-food elimination diet is about eliminating dairy, wheat, eggs, soy, nuts and seafood.
Eggs and dairy were found to be the most common triggers, both impacting 44 percent of patients in this new study. In the research, scientists suggested that adults with eosinophilic esophagitis should consider a diet change. Dietary elimination is a successful method of treatment for adults with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), according to that new study, "Dietary Elimination Therapy Is an Effective Option for Adults With Eosinophilic Esophagitis," recently appearing online in Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology, the official clinical practice journal of the American Gastroenterological Association. Authors are Wolf et al.
Food allergy led to the discovery of eosinophilic esophagitis. Your esophagus could be allergic to certain foods that cause a wide variety of symptoms affecting your esophagus, including some types of acid reflux, irritation, and other symptoms, and in a new study dietary changes helped the patients. You also may wish to check out related videos on YouTube. Or see the recent study, "Efficacy of Dietary Interventions for Inducing Histologic Remission in Patients With Eosinophilic Esophagitis: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis. Gastroenterology," also recently published in Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology.
"By eliminating specific foods from patients' diets, symptoms improved in 71 percent of patients, and endoscopic appearance improved in 54 percent," said lead study author, W. Asher Wolf, MD, MPH, and co-author Evan S. Dellon, MD, MPH, according to the July 18, 2014 news release, "Adults with eosinophilic esophagitis should consider a diet change." Wolf and Dellon are from the division of gastroenterology and hepatology, University of North Carolina School of Medicine. "These strong results support dietary elimination therapy as an effective treatment for adults suffering from EoE."
Researchers conducted a retrospective cohort study using the University of North Carolina EoE database from 2006-2012. Subjects were 18 years of age or older and diagnosed with EoE based on consensus guidelines.
Eosinophilic esophagitis is a chronic immune system disease caused by a buildup of white blood cells in the lining of the esophagus. This build up, which is a reaction to food, allergens or acid reflux, can inflame or injure esophageal tissue, making swallowing and eating a challenge for patients.
The study analyzed two diet elimination plans
For the first therapy — targeted elimination — patients underwent evaluation with skin prick testing, and foods that had a positive reaction, as well as any foods identified by patient self-report as being possible triggers regardless of the severity of response, were eliminated. For the other diet prescribed — the six-food elimination diet — dairy, wheat, eggs, soy, nuts and seafood were eliminated from the patient's diet regardless of skin-prick test results.
Sixty-eight percent of patients who received targeted diet elimination experienced symptom improvement, compared with 78 percent of those who followed a six-food elimination diet plan. For those subjects who responded to six-food elimination diet, one food (or food group) was added back every six weeks, and endoscopy was repeated.
Eggs and dairy were found to be the most common triggers, both impacting 44 percent of patients
This is important, because this study included patients who failed steroid therapy, the overall study population likely represents harder to treat EoE patients. The success of dietary elimination in this population indicates its utility for therapy in patients resistant to steroids.
Because EoE is an allergen/immune mediated condition, dietary elimination therapy has been extensively studied in children and is now a well-established modality in pediatric patients. Until recently, the utility of dietary elimination was unknown in adults. However, evidence is mounting; a June 2014 Gastroenterology meta-analysis2 reported that dietary interventions are effective in producing histologic remission in both pediatric and adult patients with EoE.
While the current treatment of swallowed corticosteroids acts topically to reduce esophageal inflammation, no corticosteroid is FDA approved, not all patients respond and, when discontinued, EoE almost always recurs. As such, there is a growing need for a new treatment for patients with EoE. Further research should emphasize which factors can predict effective dietary therapy, to target therapy to patients most likely to respond. You also may be interested in the letter, "Genome-wide association analysis of eosinophilic esophagitis provides insight into the tissue specificity of this allergic disease."

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES:^DJI) plunged 128 points in late trading after the Federal Reserve announced a further reduction in its monthly bond-buying program, now down to $55 billion.
The other significant news out of the Federal Open Market Committee's latest meeting was a further pullback on how unemployment will be considered when it comes to interest rates. Previously, the Fed had pointed to 6.5% unemployment as the point at which interest rates could start to rise, but it said today that it would look to a broader set of economic markers when deciding the issue.
Ten of 16 Fed officials think the short-term benchmark interest rate will rise to 1% or more by the end of 2015, which was slightly higher than seen in December.
No signs of a strong recovery yet
Maybe more important for investors long term is that the Fed doesn't see economic activity being anywhere near where it wants right now. Bad weather this winter hurt retail sales and consumer confidence, leading to just 2.4% GDP growth in the fourth quarter of 2013, down from 4.1% in the third quarter.
The economy is strengthening as unemployment slowly falls, the federal budget deficit declines, and companies post stronger earnings, but the Fed's concern is not to pull off the gas too quickly and send the economy back into recession. So, for now, it will slow bond-buying, which will likely lead to slightly higher long-term interest rates, but keep short-term rates near zero.
The other revelation today is that interest will likely stay below normal even after the United States drops below 6.5% unemployment, as long as inflation doesn't get out of control. A sharp rise shouldn't be expected anytime soon.
What this all means
As usual, the Fed's statements can be taken very differently based on where you stand. If you're borrowing money and reliant on leverage to grow earnings, you should be happy with the Fed today.
On the other hand, rates are low and will stay that way for now because the economy isn't growing quickly enough to allow for an increase. That's bad news even for companies that borrow money, so even if you see some bright signs in the Fed's statements today, it's not exactly bullish for Foolish long-term investors.

College Hockey:Minnesota State Knocks Off UAA
MANKATO, Minn. — A controversial goal by Rob Rankin and a hat trick by Travis Morin paved the way for Minnesota State's first conference win of the season.
The Mavericks (1-5-1 WCHA, 3-5-1 overall) defeated No. 15 Alaska-Anchorage by a score of 6-3 in front of 3,227 at the Midwest Wireless Civic Center.
Although his goal came early in the game, Rankin's score was the turning point of the contest.
After MSU scored two goals, the Seawolves (3-2-0 WCHA, 5-3-1 overall) scored to cut the lead in half and were pressuring to tie the game.
Then, at 3:01 of the first, Rankin fired a shot from the left circle that went over UAA goalie John DeCaro's shoulder. The puck appeared to hit the left corner of the net and bounce out, and the goal judge turned the red light on momentarily before turning it off.
Although Rankin celebrated, the officials didn't signal a goal, and play went on for 1:33. Once play was stopped, referee Derek Shepherd conferred with the officials and ruled Rankin's shot was a goal.
In MSU's previous game, Rob Rankin beat Bemidji State's Layne Sedevie high, but the puck hit both posts and the crossbar before bouncing away. Play continued in that game as well, and Rankin was not credited with a goal.
"I saw the net move, so I just assumed it was in, and once again the whistle did not blow," Rankin said of his goal after the game. "The goal judge has got to be feeling sorry for me."
The goal seemed to deflate the Seawolves, but UAA didn't dispute the call.
"I immediately thought it was a goal," UAA coach John Hill said. "I was confident it was a goal."
Although Rankin's goal changed the game, Morin made Rankin's disputed goal a moot point by scoring his first career hat trick.
The sophomore, who scored five points in two games last weekend, made the score 2-0 after Brock Becker scored 1:11 into the game. After keeping the puck just inside the UAA blueline, Morin moved to the top of the slot and fired a shot that beat DeCaro high at 4:44 of the first.
"There were like five guys in front of the net," Morin said. "I just wanted to get it past them. I thought the goalie couldn't see the puck because I couldn't see the net really. I was just trying to get it past the first guy."
Morin continued his scoring ways in the second when he increased MSU's lead to 4-1. After David Backes forced a turnover in Alaska-Anchorage's zone, Morin beat DeCaro high again at 5:20 of the period.
The goal chased DeCaro from the net, as he was replaced by Nathan Lawson. DeCaro allowed 4 goals on 16 shots.
On the power play 3:33 later, Morin scored again, this time low. Morin took a pass from Joel Hanson and put the puck into the net, making the score 5-1.
After going six games without a point, Morin now has eight points in his last three games.
"He was getting chances in the first six games, a lot of them," said MSU coach Troy Jutting. "After the first three weekends, I thought he could have had 10-12 points in those weekends. He kind of got the monkey off his back last weekend, and that continued tonight."
"It seems like the tide has turned here, and I'm starting to find the back of the net," Morin added.
Nick Lowe and Justin Johnson scored late in the third period for UAA to make the game close with a 5-3 score. But Rankin delivered his second goal of the night by scoring a shorthanded empty-net goal with 1:02 left. That goal was undisputable.
Maverick netminder Jon Volp picked up his second win of the season by stopping 33 of 36 shots. Although the game was rarely close, Volp came up with numerous spectacular saves to hold the Seawolves at bay.
"I thought Jonnie played very well," Jutting said. "I thought Alaska played very well. I thought they played hard. They came after us."
The Mavericks also won the game statistically. They outshot UAA 41-36. They also went 1-2 on the power play and killed all eight of the Seawolves' extra-man advantages.
"They won the special teams battle," Hill said. "They got the power-play goal, and our power play was feeble."
Hill cited a young defensive core for the numerous defensive breakdowns the Seawolves had in the game. UAA dressed one senior, two sophomores, and three freshmen on the blueline.
"We got what we deserved tonight," Hill said. "But our guys have always responded, and I think we'll get up tomorrow and come for a skate, and get ready to play again."
Minnesota State and Alaska-Anchorage will conclude their WCHA series tomorrow night. The puck is set to drop at 7:07 p.m.

If you've been lucky enough to enjoy a Passover Seder, you'll know it's an experience more than a meal. Yes, it's a feast prepared to honor the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt and their reclaimed freedom from the bonds of slavery, but it's also a time for families and friends to sit together and experience this Jewish holiday and enjoy a traditional Passover meal.
There's the Haggadah, the book that is the reenactment of the exodus, telling the story of Passover and serving as a guide for what to eat and when. Table guests can take turns voicing the various characters, or sit and enjoy a good tale. Later, children can search for a hidden piece of Matzah and sing songs in Hebrew verse.
Food for a Passover Seder is steeped in tradition and is particularly unusual. The Passover meal, like the occasion itself, is set apart from food served at other Jewish holidays. One and all can enjoy this wonderful tradition and to make the celebration even easier, Cuisine Unlimited designed a menu to help you prepare for your Seder. Simply choose from the list of offerings like Matzah Ball Soup, classic Gefilte Fish, Apple-Almond Stuffed Chicken Breast, Macaroon Cookies and more. Dietary laws separating meat from dairy will be observed. Set the table, bring out Bubba's Passover china and we'll do the rest!

I was wondering whether all programs run in a Loop, checking for variable changes then acting upon said changes followed by another Loop. Or do they run in a While statement, waiting for a variable to change before they execute a routine? Or am I just completely wrong?
closed as not a real question by MainMa, gnat, Giorgio, Thomas Owens♦ Jun 15 '13 at 12:45
It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, visit the help center.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
No, not all programs run in a loop. Interactive programs have a main (message) loop to respond to user input.
Programs also run in some sort of loop (
Programs that take their input parameters, do their thing, report back and then finish, will not run in a loop. That doesn't mean they do not use any loops at all. The work they do may require plenty of loops, but they don't run a loop waiting for more input.
You should learn something about computer science. It will show you that when a program runs, it is the CPU fetch instructions to run. So there is a possibility that cpu do nothing but wait for a intterrupt to wake it up.
"While" is a form of loop. For the scope of your question it would make no difference.
CLI programs usually don't run in a loop. GUI programs usually do. Some have parallel execution flows. I suggest you read the Wikipedia article on event loop so that you grasp the different styles.

Sniper: Ghost Warrior
Serial Ker is invalid
I just purchase the Sinper: ghost warrior and it take 12 hours to complete download.\r\nI\'v received activation code and serial key by the gamersgate. After completely install and key in the activation code, and when i try to play it\'s shown serial key is invalid. What should i do....? please help me
If you're on a 64 bit system, change the sniper.reg file that is made available from the game download page so the key is added to 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\City Interactive\Sniper2' You should just be able to open the .reg with any text editor, I recommend Notepad++, and change it. If you continue to have a problem the key may be faulty and you should contact GamersGate for a new key.
I've try as what you advise me but its dosent work that way. Try to uninstall and install it back also look the same words appear on the screen. ( Serial key is invalid ). Please advise. I'm not very good in IT and still learning.
I have the problem. I also tried to un-install and reinstall to no avail. I hunted down some answers and I got the following from the internet. Work and Torchlight have keep me very busy and I have not tried this particular solution, so I do not know if it will solve the issue.
As Stefanvlric mentioned you will have to use a text editor like Notepad.
If you decide to use this solution and it works please let us know.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\City Interactive]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\City Interactive\Sniper2]
"WriteDir"="Sniper - Ghost Warrior"
If this doesn't work you could always ask the people who run GamersGate for another CD key, that seemed to solve some other people's false CD key problems.

Plants flower best in full sun, with some humus such as compost worked in to prevent roots becoming too dry. 'James Stirling' is a dense dwarf variety, with glossy stems, almost upright and tightly packed with minimal leaves. This characteristic is shared by several Hebes with a conifer-like appearance described as whipcord. Plants of this kind are not usually pruned.

Tai Chi and Qigong practitioners from all over the world - including here in Connecticut - will be celebrating World Tai Chi & Qigong Day on Saturday, April 26. This is the sixteenth year of the global event dedicated to these healing arts, which always takes place on the last Saturday of the month of April at 10 a.m. local time.
More than 80 countries will participate in this special event, which educates the public about the health benefits of Tai Chi and Qigong, as well as promotes community by bringing together a diverse group of people to learn about and practice these healing arts, which originated in China. According to the 2012 Harvard Medical School Guide to Tai Chi a crucial component of the day is to "bring people across racial, economic, religious, and geo-political boundaries, to join together for the purpose of health and healing, providing an example to the world."
The first event inspiring the global movement was held in Kansas City, Mo., in 1998. CNN Headline News covered the Tai Chi exhibition and teach-in that attracted nearly 200 people, which inspired the event to grow nationally and internationally thereafter.
Tai Chi and Qigong make up a component of traditional Chinese medicine. Qigong is an energy healing technique that cultivates the energy of life—or qi—through body awareness and meditation, as well as static postures and dynamic postures. Through these, life force can flow more freely through practitioners, restoring mental, physical and spiritual balance The slow, controlled movements and breathing of the martial art Tai Chi foster physical balance, flexibility and coordination. Both practices improve health and stimulate healing by boosting the immune system, lowering blood pressure, reducing stress, pain and tension; increasing energy and improving circulation, mood, sleep quality and metabolism.
This year, there are World Tai Chi & Qigong events in West Hartford, Colchester and Milford. This year, there are World Tai Chi & Qigong events in Suffield West Hartford, Colchester and Milford.

Eman writes: "I just recently rejoined the gym after 4 months of newlywed bliss and gluttony but now I've come to realize that I need somewhere to put all my stuff while working out! I need something that can hold my phone, ID, and keys. If it's okay I'd like to ask the team for their help! I'm open to wristlets, armbands, anything and everything practical and cute."
Eman, I'm glad you gave me another opportunity to shop! We've all been there. You've finally gotten the momentum to get to the gym, so the last thing you need to do is worry about where to store your stuff. I recommend you start out with an armband. They are small, light, and no nonsense. From there, you can work your way up to a fancy duffel bag when you become a regular, and it's necessary to start showering at the gym. I also threw in a fancy wristlet, because from my experience, sometimes the best motivator is the opportunity to test out my most recent present to myself. So strut your stuff to the gym, and show off that new gear!
1. UA Perfect Tote ($115)

The cab pulled up to your destination and he used your connected hands to pull you from the cab before releasing you as you asked, "What is this theory we're testing?"
Without answering, he stalked off down the street and you shrugged, jogging as best you could in heels to catch up to him. You stayed relatively close to him so you didn't lose him in the crowds walking the streets but still did your customary examination of everything you passed, a wide grin plastered across your face as you enjoyed London at night. You didn't even mind that you were beyond cold or that your feet where beginning to hurt as he lead you to where ever you were going, getting a second wind as your sense of adventure kicked in.
He abruptly came to a halt, turning quickly to catch you against his chest as he anticipated you'd be distracted enough not to notice, as usual. You grinned up at him gratefully and to your surprise he was smiling down at you with a glint of something strange in his eyes, you tilted your head as you tried to identify it but he had already began to usher you through the door to a small Italian restaurant.
A bearded man, who you assumed was the owner, swooped forward to greet you and you ducked behind Sherlock to cautiously observe the interaction as had become a habit when meeting new people.
"Hello Angelo." Sherlock greeted warmly.
Angelo gave a wide grin, "Sherlock! Table for one tonight? Didn't work out with your date?"
You let out a lilting laugh, leaning around Sherlock to look up at him, "You brought John here?"
He lifted his arm, shifting so you were next to him before resting his hand on the small of your back, "Yes. I believe this is were his concern with people talking began."
You giggled, thinking about your brother here with Sherlock on a 'date' and Angelo gave you a soft smile, "Seems I was wrong, a table for two it is. Does your date have a name Sherlock?"
You went wide-eyed and began to shake your head just as John had when the man said the word 'date' but Sherlock didn't miss a beat, "Angelo this is (F/n). (F/n), Angelo."
You shook his hand, giving him a shy but curious grin before he led the two of you to a table next to a window, telling you that whatever you wanted was on the house as always and babbling on about how Sherlock was amazing and had gotten him out of a murder charge.
You listened intently as a grin grew on your face and then slid into a chair across from Sherlock, waiting for the man to leave before quietly asking him, "That theory you wanted to test didn't have something to do with me being hungry, did it?"
He didn't look at you, studying the menu with a flat expression, "No, don't be absurd."
You sighed, wondering again what exactly this was between you and him, and pressed a hand to your temple as you felt an headache beginning to form. Looking over the menu, you drummed your fingers on the table.
Sherlock eyed your hand for a moment and then looked back to his menu, "Go ahead."
You looked up from yours, "Hmm?"
"It's obvious your fingers are practically itching to draw. Go ahead."
You blushed, looking back to your menu, "That would be rude."
He gave you a look that said 'who do you think you're talking to' and that he didn't care but you just continued to look at your menu, refusing to give in. It wasn't long before your fingers began to drum on the table again and he let out an amused hum, to which you pulled your hand into a fist and plopped it into your lap. Next it was your heel, rhythmically tapping against the floor, and he looked over at you with a raised eyebrow.
You groaned, letting the menu slide from your hand, "Fine. I can't take it any more. You win."
He smirked and you pulled out your sketchbook and a pencil, leaning it against the table as you appeased the relentless itching in your fingers. Sherlock watched you draw intently, taking in the faces you pulled as you put down lines on the page or carefully smudged at the paper with your finger or the eraser. You were in your element and it was truly fascinating to watch, your face practically glowing.
He ordered for you when someone came around and shortly after you stopped, looking over at him with a small happy smile, "Thank you for being patient with me, Sherly."
The corner of his mouth tweaked up as his eyes flicked to your still open sketchbook and you shuffled it so he could see, letting his fingers wrap around the edges to take it from you. While he looked over your sketches, you leaned back in your chair, the exhaustion of the day and not getting full nights sleep hitting you full force as the pounding in your head settled in. Sherlock failed to notice this, enthralled with your work- a couple of sketches of him in the dim lighting of the restaurant along with a couple of Angelo- and when he looked up you were gazing out the window, watching the people walk by.
He shut the sketchbook and set it on the edge of the table, following your gaze, "He's cheating on her- "
"With her brother," you finished, eyes still following the couple before turning to land on him, "That man on the corner. What do you think?"
He looked out the window, just a glance, before returning his eyes to yours, "Divorced. Three children and none of them live with him, a fact he's quite happy about. Travels often for his job which is good because he hates London, too rainy and cold in his opinion."
You grinned and he tilted his head at you, "What?"
You looked back out the window, "Nothing… I just love it when you do that is all."
He gazed out the window again, a grin playing on his face "Pick another."
You obliged happily and this went on for a while longer, with him even challenging you to deduce someone every once in a while. Your food came, which you ate while Sherlock chatted away about how boring cases had been lately as he waited for you to finish, and then it fell quiet for a second. You looked at him with a sly smile, "Did you prove your theory?"
He smirked and gave a single nod before standing, "Come on. Let's get home."
You followed him out, glad to be on your way home again since your throat was killing you and your head was still pounding, and let out a little sigh as he stalked off down the street again. The temperature had dropped considerably while you were inside and, since you weren't dressed for the cold, your skin prickled and your lip quivered as the night air enveloped your body. You followed after him as he moved along at a brisk pace, letting the effort of keeping up with him warm you until he stopped and called a cab.
He seemed to be deep in thought when you looked at him so you let him be, closing your eyes to try and sooth your head as the cab made its way to Baker St.
Sherlock was indeed thinking. The little date he'd tricked you into had been fairly successful, he wondered why John had such trouble with them, it had been simple enough. You had enjoyed yourself, he knew that, and surprisingly he had found it enjoyable as well. He had thought it was going to be terribly boring but you'd offered him a challenge and he'd gotten to see a little more of how your mind worked, a valuable fact in his continuing quest to figure you out completely.
He came out of it when the cab stopped in front of the flat, surprising you when he quickly paid before you could even get you wallet out, and then the two of you disappeared inside. He lingered in your doorway again and you turned to find out what he wanted, looking up into his eyes curiously.
There it was again, that hint of something that you couldn't place, and you unconsciously stepped a little closer to get a better look. He hesitantly brought his hand to your cheek and for the first time you didn't flinch but immediately leaned into his touch, eyes flickering closed for a moment- a moment he took to lean in and press his lips against yours.
You were shocked to say the least and the feel of it was so unsure, unlike anything you would have ever expected from Sherlock, but you gently pressed your lips back against his, letting them ripple in sync with his movements.
It was like in doing so you'd flipped some switch as his confidence was back like a flash and his large hands fell to your waist, pulling you to him as he deepened the kiss. You responded by trailing your hands up and weaving them into his hair, allowing him entrance to your mouth when his teeth brushed against your lower lip.
You let him explore, enjoying the feel of his tongue in your mouth, until you absolutely needed air, parting from him with a little gasp as his lips found their way across your jaw and down your neck, nipping at your pulse before sucking at it as you let out a soft moan.
Your brain couldn't even function much less wrap itself around what was happening when he pulled away, a light pink tint to his cheeks, "Not good?"
All you could do was let out a little chuckle, "Unexpected but good. Very good."
He looked away, the pink growing a bit darker as he admitted, "I got a bit carried away."
You grinned, he was so unsure and adorable, before pulling him back to you to give him a short gentle kiss, "Good night, Sherlock."
He watched you go into your flat, tossing him one last glance as you closed the door, and then pressed his thumb to his lips. He'd only intended to kiss you, something short and simple, but his body had gotten in the way again. His heart had felt like it had stopped and he'd even worried for a second before it came back pounding in his chest full force.
As soon as he'd felt the softness of your lips beneath his it was like someone else had taken over and all he could think of was wanting more, finding they were far softer than they looked. All in all, it was interesting development, he noted, and it could be potentially useful to stave off boredom. He'd have to try it and see.

10 Things I have learned
First off this in no way reflects on the Harbinger server as I am not on that server but on the Shadowlands server. I am interested to see tho if you guys and gals have come across the same thing.
1. This is not a bad game. Quirks and patches and little things aside this is a great game to play. If you liked KOTOR and TSL I highly recommend this game for you. Aside from some WTF Lore moments you will like this game.
2. I highly suggest playing a ranged character if you feel you can't be a Tank or Healer. Everyone is looking for ranged DPS because everyone wants to be a Jedi. As a gunslinger my guild is always asking me if I want to join an OPs becuase they don't have enough lvl50 RDPS.
3. If you are going to do hard mode flashpoints try doing most of them with your guild. I have come across a major problem with this as the group finder que always puts me with people who want to skip everything, and I mean even the last boss if possible just to get 5 Black Hole Comms instead of gear and the other drops you might get. This is the only major problem I have with this MMO. If you suggest you need gear wether it be for yourself or a comp they always have doctor appointments or have to get the kids from school at 11am and such nonsense. Your guild will understand so try to do them with them.
4. There are groupies in MMO's. What I mean is there are certain people who you might help out at one point and all of a sudden you are their best friend and chaperone for the rest of the game. I love helping people out because early on I didn't get the help on Heroics and such (see 5) so I will offer to help when I see someone asking over and over for help with a Heroic or even a class quest. Problem is sometimes they think you will be there all the time. Try to nip this in the bud as soon as possible. I a mnot saying don't help non guildmates just saying be careful with it.
5. I know 90% of the guys who play MMO's know that most of the girl toons are actually guys. Doesn't matter they will offer help if you are playing a female toon. As a male Gunslinger noone wanted to join me on Heroics at any time unless A) It was someone I helped out previously and they probably felt guilty or B) After I got a female toon in themix I had them ask for help and suddenly everyone wants to help.
Case in point: I am on Tatooine and I need the WB Trapjaw I think to complete a daily or weekly from the fleet. I go to his place and send out a call for the WB anyone interested. Crickets was my answer. Noone needed or wanted the WB at that time. I am lvl50 at this point and doing this daily late. I recruit Jaayna, a female toon who I think is actually female from the way she chats, to help me. I had helped her on Alderaan and some of her Tatooine quests she was trying to do underleveled. 5 minutes after I had asked she asks and lo and behold we have a group of 16 which is overkill on this boss.
I don't mind this at that all just pointing out a learned experiance from this game. Only way I was able to get into later Heroics was to wait until someone else asked and join them. As my female Jedi everyone wants to help.
6. If you can find a best friend who is a healer hold onto them. Or if you are a healer and can find one who is a tank. I met one guy who I helped on Tatooine with a Heroic I also needed who was a healer. After we both reached 50 we found ourselves running into each other and finally just joined up all the time for the Dailies and FP's. Only time he has let me die is if he died before me in a larger group or it was a situation where we didn't know what was going to unfold. I think of him as my best friend in this game and we are currently leveling 2 jedi together and probably are going to start 2 imps together. He has several toons while I only have the 2 so far and heknows the Imp side. I also managed to get him into the guild I am in which makes it better.
7. Find a guild, I know most of you if not all are in TWC which is great. But if you are guildless and on another server like I am don't just join a guild to jion a guild like I did. Make sure it is the right guild for you before joining. I lucked out and havemade several friends in this guild but it won't be like that for everyone.
8. If you can craft MK6 kits you become everyones best friend. And if you can craft Advanced items they love you even more.
9. Ask questions. Even if someone blows you off and calls you noob ask questions. Alot of people who play this game play because they love Star Wars and will gladly help you out with any questions you have about playstyle or tactics or even showing you how to do a Daily run economically.
10. Have fun. Its a game and is meant to be enjoyed. Ignore most of the stupid comments made in general chat and most comments made about you. Most people only make these comments because they know they won't make them to your face in the real world. Enjoy yourself and find people who enjoy it as much as you do.
Feel Free To Disagree.....Most People Do Anyways

COBWEB CORNERS: Our New Year tradition
By Mel McFarland
I feel this is a story that can be told every year. On New Year's 1923 the paper noted the brilliant display of fireworks from the summit of Pikes Peak. At 12 o'clock the summit of the world-famous peak was illuminated by bursts from thirty four-pound sky rockets and flares. Members of the AdAmAn Club carried out the event. Thousands of people saw the display through a slight fog that settled near the mountain. There were nine 500,000-candlepower flares, white as well as red. While those were burning, 30 rockets were sent into the clouds. Some of these were still burning as they cascaded down the rocks on the east face of the mountain. They could be seen bursting into finer sprays. The whole display was visible to anyone along the eastern plains. Flares were set off starting at seven o'clock and on each hour until midnight. The mountain was obscured at seven and eight, and the light could not be seen. At nine, there were three rockets fired, all visible from here. There were two at ten, and one at eleven. The main show was at midnight.
The club had been started by the Morath brothers (Fred and Ed) of Colorado Springs in 1921. Fred Barr and his father were well known in Colorado City and Manitou. Fred knew the mountain like most know their living room. The two Moraths, Barr and two other men decided to hike his trail up the mountain to celebrate the New Year of 1922. They started up Barr's Trail on the 30th of December. They spent the night in a small cabin at a camp where Barr's burro teams stopped at in the summer, about the 11,000-foot level. The five finished their trip to the top the next day.
Fred Barr and his friends had built the 13 miles of trail from near the Cog Depot on Ruxton Avenue in Maniton Springs. It replaced an older, longer trail that had been partly erased when the railroad opened in 1891. Barr Trail, built for burros and fairly reasonable for humans, goes up around Mt. Manitou and the front of Pikes Peak.
There is a traditional mirror-flashing exercise in the morning of the 31st when the climbers are above timberline. There is a special display of five flares for the memory of the "Frozen Five" who made the first trip.
This is special for me personally, since I plan to be on top of Pike's Peak Dec, 31st, only I am going to get there the same way I do most of the time, by train!

Trust me, the Chow Brothers will get their way.
There's a certain convenience factor to all this.
A resource consent hearing for the Chow Brothers controversial brothel development has been under way at Auckland town hall.
John and Michael Chow plan to build a 15-storey tower on the former Palace Hotel site opposite Sky City. The tower will hold offices, bars, a brothel and hotel.
About 20 submissions are scheduled to be heard today and tomorrow.
Chow brothers lawyer Russell Bartlett, told NBR ONLINE the hearing was likely to wrap up earlier than expected because submitters had likely taken legal advice and realised they couldn't make a case.
Representatives from Sir Robert Jones' company, Robt Jones Holdings, said they would not attend.
Sir Robert owns the adjoining building and has been public in his opposition to the construction. However, his representatives instead tabled a letter outlining their opposition.
Last week Auckland Council senior planner Jennifer Valentine released a report recommending resource consent be granted, saying she could not take into account the morality of activities which took place inside.
Panel chairman David Kirkpatrick said the panel, including Rebecca Skidmore, Justine Bray and Bill Smith, had read the report but were not bound or beholden by it.
Ten late submissions were considered but Mr Kirkpatrick says only one, from the Stop Demand Foundation, would be heard.
Mr Bartlett's written submissions do not discuss the use of the hotel as a brothel, which make up the bulk of the objecting submissions.
When questioned by the panel on the role of the Prostitution Reform Act, Mr Bartlett said he was unaware of any brothels in the city which have required resource consent.
"It is my clear view that focusing on the central area with different provisions for the suburbs the council has created a system of incentives for brothels favouring the central area and this site amongst them."
Evidence is to be heard from architect Paul Brown, acoustic expert Nevil Hegley, urban design specialist Rachel de Lambert, traffic expert David Phillip and planner Martin Green.
Tomorrow's submitters include representatives from Family First New Zealand, heritage campaigner Allan Matson and AA insurance.
A decision is expected in about two weeks.

6 Comments & Questions
Trust me, the Chow Brothers will get their way.
There is sound legal opinion available that the Council officers could have taken concerns over the brothel into account in the Council's report.
It is a disgrace that when faced with a choice as to which legal position to adopt the Council has taken a position favoring the brothel owners.
What seems decidedly odd is that while detractors (i.e. St Patricks) have raised concerns over crime and safety, the council seems to have lumped these together as moral objections, and completely failed to address the points about safety and crime.
The question that was raised should be addressed, rather than written-off. It's only reasonable.
Key & Banks from the government can't seem to address the moral issues within & about the Sky City Convention centre and the Super City Council senior planner Jennifer Valentine & others can't or won't take into account the morality of activities which may take place inside this Super brothel.
Do those who will be able to afford it need any of it? There seem to be an awful lot of hand rubs being done behind closed doors as it Is?

I have a client running on a VPN behind a NAT. The client becomes inaccessible after a while if it is not "active". The VPN software is PPTP and the OS of the client if Debian.
I'm unsure about the exact cause of what makes it inaccessible or if it is another piece of software that is causing the problem. But my current thing I am trying to figure out is if the NAT is healing and causing the client VPN to become inaccessible. Could this be causing the problem or should I look elsewhere?

Simulations (Model United Nations, Model African Union, Model European Union)
Political Science students have the opportunity to participate in simulations such as the Model United Nations Conference of the Far West (in San Francisco), the National Model African Union (in Washington, D.C.) or the Midwest Model European Union (in Indianapolis). These models complement classroom instruction; they take students off campus and allow them to apply concepts and information. These simulations mimic and provide insight into the workings of important international organizations. They also allow students to visit major American cities. Participation in these opportunities leads to improved research skills, speaking abilities and organizational skills; it also provides Heidelberg students the opportunity to interact with students from other institutions, other countries and other cultures. Such experiences also familiarize students with parliamentary procedure and diplomatic protocol.
Washington Semester
The Washington Semester, administered by The American University in Washington, enables students to obtain valuable work and study experiences within governmental or private agencies or institutions in the nation's capital. Each Washington Semester student enrolls in special seminars and engages in individual research and career-oriented work experiences. Qualified students may attend the program for a semester, receiving full credit from Heidelberg, usually in their junior year.
Students can choose from among the following seminars: American History, American Politics, Foreign Policy, International Business and Trade, International Environment and Development, International Law and Organizations, Journalism, Justice, Peace and Conflict Resolution, Public Law, Theatre Studies and Transforming Communities. Many of these programs involve overseas study. Situated on its own college campus in a residential neighborhood in Northwestern D.C., with more than 500 students from all over the world, the Washington Semester is a true international community and experience.
Study Abroad
By studying abroad students broaden their intellectual horizons, experience new cultures, and meet people with different backgrounds, attitudes and views. You will encounter how political science may be taught in another culture, often reflecting intellectual traditions different from those in the United States. By studying abroad, you add a special kind of experience to your undergraduate years that adds value to your diploma and provides important, abilities (such as language and intercultural skills) that appeal to many employers.

Hollywood actors have long since been the targets of hackers. As technology has become nearly the only way, personal information is too easily attained. Over the weekend several celebrities were the victims of nude photo leaks. While a few of the actors have issued statements claiming the photos were real, there are still a few denying them. According to a September 1 report from Fox News, Jennifer Lawrence has contacted the police and will be actively involved in making the responsible party pay. This news isn't shocking to fans of Lawrence as she is one tough cookie.
There was a master list posted of celebrities who had nude photos. It appears there was leak in the Apple iCloud which allowed a hacker to access several celebrity accounts. While Jennifer Lawrence and Kate Upton have admitted the photos are indeed theirs, Ariana Grande and Victoria Justice have denied it all around. Speculation about the hacker has led the media to a man in Georgia, but there has been no confirmation on his identity.
Now that Jennifer Lawrence has decided to file a report and an investigation will be had, expect more information to come out slowly. Many of the photos have been taken offline, but there are speculations that several people have already downloaded them to their personal computers. When these people are found, they will also get into trouble. For now Lawrence is speaking out only in statements provided by her publicist. Many of the other women are staying quiet in hopes the scandal will pass.

Article first published as PlayStation 4 Review: 'FIFA 14' on Blogcritics.
Welcome to Sony's new generation console, the Playstation 4. Personally, I preordered mine at a local game store, the day after Sony's E3 press conference in Los Angeles between sessions at the Expo. While I'm sure I was one of the first to preorder the system, I didn't want to spend a huge amount of time in line waiting to pick it up. I showed up around a quarter till midnight, paid it off and was done within about twenty minutes. What was somewhat unusual about the experience was that I didn't pick up any games for the new system and EA's "FIFA 14" is the first retail disc, I've put in my new console.
Needless to say, I'm fairly unimpressed with the launch line-up for the Playstation 4, though as a Playstation Plus member, I have been pleasantly surprised by "Contrast." That being said, "Contrast" is hardly the game to drop nearly five hundred dollars on a new system for. So, when I was assigned to review "FIFA 14" for the PS4, I was curious to see what the game looked like on what was previously referred to as "the next gen." Overall, I'm impressed, though it is mostly with the entire level of presentation than with any particular aspect of the game. The physics models applied to clothing and the ball are subtle but still noticeable.
Though EA Canada has rebuilt "FIFA 14" from the ground up for both Playstation 4 and the Xbox One, the game doesn't feel terribly different from last gen versions. Actually, in some ways, Konami's latest soccer offering for the Playstation 3, which utilizes their FOX engine, actually looks better. Unfortunately for them, their licensing issues and history of coming in a distant second to EA hurts the overall product they are able to offer. The overall "FIFA" experience surpasses their competitor easily and while I never felt like I had as much control over the individual player, I did have a much better sense of the overall feel of the game.
In the U.S., soccer isn't a mainstream sport. While it's gaining popularity, it is still fairly niche. Where Konami's offering seems to have fringe appeal, EA's "FIFA 14" is designed for more mass appeal. This is particularly evident in the control schemes. EA offers three standard configurations, including a simple two button mode along with the option of mapping the controller yourself. To pull off all of the cool tricks though, you'll need to master the numerous analog stick gestures. This makes "FIFA 14" an easy game to get into but one that will require some dedication to master.
While my overall impressions of the Playstation 4 so far is that it's really just a Playstation 3 2.0, one nice feature in "FIFA 14" on the PS4, is the ability to play Kick Off, a quick match while the ten gigabyte install is underway. Of course to access any of the other features, including the skill games, or multiplayer you must wait until everything is on your hard drive. Keep in mind, with the Playstation 4, a subscription to Playstation Plus and an Origin account is now required to be able to play Ultimate Team, online co-op, or multiplayer, friendlies or league matches. The game does support up to 22 online players and a seven day Playstation Plus trial membership is included in the package.
Those looking for drastic difference between the Playstation 3 and 4 versions will probably be disappointed. While there are certainly graphical improvements in the models, their animations, and environments, there are also aspects of the game that feel brushed over. The touchpad is hardly used and the remote play feature that works with the Vita feels hampered with an adjusted control scheme. As a sports RPG, "FIFA 14" feels incomplete, but the addition of so many small graphical improvements adds up quickly. There is no doubt, this is the best version of "FIFA" out there and if you're a PS4 owning soccer fan, "FIFA 14" is a no-brainer.

Ray Kelly Is a Fan of Applebee's, and Every Other Restaurant in New York
He likes eatin' good at Applebee's, or the Waldorf-Astoria.
When we see Ray Kelly in public he's usually filling us in on the details of some horrific crime. Today he took up an equally important, yet more lighthearted task: participating in a ribbon-cutting at a new Applebee's location in Harlem, which has been certified as "very green." Shortly after declaring the restaurant open for business along with Dr. Oz (unfortunately Tiki Barber was running late), a man told Kelly he hopes he runs for mayor. The police commissioner has suggested that he won't run, but sounded a lot like a politician during the ceremony, declaring, "I am a big fan of Applebee's — as I am of every restaurant in New York." Kelly also noted that he and franchise owner Zane Tankel "go way back." (Tankel gained some notoriety recently for threatening to make Obamacare-related cutbacks). The pair dined together on Wednesday, but unfortunately they couldn't eat at the new location, since it wasn't open yet. Instead they went to one of Kelly's other favorite lunch spots: the Waldorf-Astoria.

Fatal Pictures has successfully funded the Kickstarter campaign for their final short film HEIR. The film promises to be gory, horrific and monstrous and will showcase practical FX.
Produced by Fatal Pictures in association with Red Sneakers Media, "HEIR" is the final entry in their "Box Cutter Trilogy", a trio of linked shorts each representing "different theories on the origin and operation of sociopaths," and successfully raised its $17,000 goal and then some.
The first two shorts, WORM and FAMILIAR have received excellent reviews from around the genre.
HEIR Credits
Starring, The Emmy award winning Bill Oberst Jr. (ABRAHAM LINCOLN VS. ZOMBIES, TAKE THIS LOLLIPOP & CHILDREN OF SORROW) & Robert Nolan (WORM, SICK, FAMILIAR) Written & Directed by Richard Powell (CONSUMPTION, WORM, & FAMILIAR) Produced by Zach Green (CONSUMPTION, WORM, & FAMILIAR) Marc Roussel & Ron Basch (REMOTE, ELUSIVE MAN & THE SWEETEST HIPPOPOTAMUS) & Richard Powell Associate Producer Heather Wixson (Founder CINEMAYHEM FILM FESTIVAL, Journalist DREAD CENTRAL) Associate Producer Seth Metoyer (CELL COUNT, TEACHERS' DAY & SLINK) Special Effects by The Butcher Shop (FAMILIAR) Cinematography by Michael Davidson (SICK, FAMILIAR) Editing by John Nicholls (SEX AFTER KIDS, THE SWEETEST HIPPOPOTAMUS) Music & Sound Design by Bernie Greenspoon (CONSUMPTION, WORM, & FAMILIAR)

After connecting with a stranger of similar interests online, Gordon and his young son Paul embark on an ill-fated road trip in which Gordon aims to indulge a secret passion. Before the day ends a horrible truth will be uncovered and a harsh lesson will be learned. HEIR is a monster movie unlike any other, it is a bleak and fantastical examination of one of society's darkest taboos that aims to stimulate the mind and wrench the gut with equal power.
