In 1966, lesbians showedAustralia 'Love is Love'
- 5
Mon 12th Mar, 2012 in Features
"A lot of men refuse to believe that an attractive girl could prefer a girl and not a male."
How far we've come? Flashback to 1966 – a groundbreaking documentary is transmitted on nationwide TV, giving many Australians a first insight into a strange Sapphic life on our doorsteps.
But it was a shadowy glimpse. Fearing being outed to their local communities, many of the women interviewed by Anne Deveson for 7 Days were filmed only with extreme close-ups and even in silhouette, like criminals – though they were not actually breaking any laws of the land.
"If you wish to lead a normal social life, you must lead a double life," says one interviewee.
Some of the women were shown to be in happy same-sex relationships, while others spoke about marrying men and even engaging with electric shock therapies in an effort to become 'normal'.
"I'm not ashamed in any way share or form, of what I am," another bravely says. "I've learned to cope with it, I live by it, I like it."
One women says was forced to resign from her job after her lesbian relationship was discovered, another was rejected from becoming an army cadet.
The program screened in February 1966, and the Sydney Morning Herald championed host Deveson's efforts. "Tuesday's documentary, which could have turned out to be just a nasty little piece of sensationalism, proved to be an honest and intensely moving look at a little known facet of society."
Ultimately, these women's stories are instantly recognisable and their sentiments are still echoed today over 45 years later…
"Love's love, whether it's between a man and a woman, a man and another man, or between two women. If the feeling's genuine, then it's all love."
Watch the full half-hour TV doco below.
Note – audio begins 40 seconds in.
"When you meet these girls, these women, you realize that they're normal human beings. As normal – if anyone's normal – as you or I. Except that they direct their love towards another woman and not to a man.
"And yet they suffer because of our ignorance and because of our prejudice. What kind of future can they hope to have?"

As "American Idol" season 13 gets underway, it is not the current contestants who are making a splash. Entertainment Weekly reported on Feb. 21, some former stars are joining in on a lawsuit against Sony Music.
According to the report, "American Idol's" house record label 19 Recordings is suing the giant music company in a lawsuit that focuses on issues in accounting. With some of "American Idol's" biggest stars on board, like Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Clay Aiken and many others, the record label is claiming that Sony Music cheated the artists out of royalties worth millions of dollars.
The $10 million in damages that the label and artists are suing for is not something they wanted to have to do says Jason Morey, 19 Entertainment's Worldwide Head of Music.
"We did not want to have to file this lawsuit, but Sony left us no choice, so this became necessary to protect our artists. Our complaint lays out the claims in great detail. Everything we have to say about the case is set forth in it."
The suit claims that Sony improperly deducted money spent on TV advertising and music videos, while at the same time not paying the proper royalties on compilation albums, claiming "compilation albums are not albums." The suit also alleges that Sony treated master recordings streams on services such as Spotify as "sales" or "distributions" instead of "broadcasts" or "transmissions". The wording and filing played a large part in just how much the company had to pay under the terms of its recording agreements.
Sony Music has yet to respond to the lawsuit, but whatever the outcome, it will have an effect on future dealings between the label, record company and future "American Idol" stars.

20 Years of Agenda
The creation of a Department of Information Technology would likely lead to increased government efficiency and cost savings. However, there is no compelling reason to create a new Department of Veterans Affairs.
Overall, North Carolina ranks 23rd in the nation and 5th among the 12 states of the Southeast in freedom. North Carolina ranks 16th in fiscal freedom, 18th in educational freedom, 36th in regulatory freedom, and 46th in health care freedom.
The last statewide General Obligation Bond referendum was held in 2000; all debt since then has been issued without voter approval, making special indebtedness the sole form of debt in North Carolina since 2001. Special Indebtedness is more expensive than traditional General Obligation debt, thus creating a larger burden on taxpayers. Certificates of Participation (COPs) are the most favored form of special indebtedness.
North Carolina has over 22,500 permanent administrative rules, which carry the full force of law but are not passed by legislators. The General Assembly should return major legislative authority to elected, accountable representatives of the people.
Cronyism is an umbrella term covering a host of government activities by which an industry or even a single firm or speculator is given favors and support that they could not attain in market competition. This report explains what opens government to cronyism, gives a brief rundown of recent examples of cronyism in North Carolina, and offers several possible reforms.
Once a popular off-Hollywood venue for filmmakers before state film tax incentives, North Carolina is now one of the leaders in a race to the bottom among other states and nations in giveaways to movie production companies. The incentives show that state leaders know that lower taxes and regulations attract industry. So why play favorites with industries? Why not just lower taxes and regulations altogether?
North Carolinas Unemployment Insurance (UI) administrators have vastly outspent revenues and generated a debt of $2.6 billion with the federal governmentthe third-highest in the nation, on a per-capita basis. This report proposes five ways for legislators to address this rapidly growing problem.
North Carolina forcibly sterilized approximately 7,600 individuals in the 20th Century as part of its eugenics program. Many eugenics victims are still alive in North Carolina. This report offers five ways that North Carolina should compensate the victims before it is too late.
County governments all over North Carolina are saving money by privatizing services. In an effort to assist in the exchange of information about these activities, the John Locke Foundation conducted a survey of all 100 counties asking county managers to tell us about governmental activities that they currently supply privately. We also asked them if they had problems in the past with a privatized activity that had caused them to return the activity to government provision.
State agencies should not be allowed to issue regulations that exceed federal requirements, and cost-benefit analysis should be required for all agencies. These two regulatory reforms should have a positive impact on the economy, but they are first and foremost about promoting good government.
North Carolinas auto insurance system is unfair to low-risk drivers because it overcharges them in order to subsidize some of the states more risky and dangerous drivers. Every insured driver pays a hidden tax, and private insurance companies are guaranteed a profit. This report recommends reforms to improve the system.
North Carolina has one of the most expensive Medicaid programs in the Southeast, and Obamacare will expand enrollment from 1.3 million people to potentially over 2 million people in 2014. Without Medicaid reform or tighter eligibility, North Carolina will need to cut some services and payments to doctors. Both options will mean worse care for every person on Medicaid. Gov. Bev Perdue and the General Assembly need to push Washington for exemptions from Medicaid restrictions and greater ability to innovate with premium support and encourage patient control of their own care.
This budget proposal would spend $18.4 billion and return spending to the same levels, adjusted for population and inflation, as in the mid-1990s. In addition to ending the temporary sales tax and income tax surcharges, this budget would reduce the tax rates on personal and corporate income, setting the stage for future tax reform.
The North Carolina Education Lottery was sold as a way to boost education spending, but N.C. boasts the same problem found in other lottery states: a declining rate of spending for education, especially in comparison with the rest of the state budget. Furthermore, poverty, unemployment, and property tax rates remain the best predictors of lottery sales.
There is optimism that an eminent domain amendment will pass this upcoming legislative session. This Spotlight explains how to craft the amendment carefully to best protect property owners.
This report highlights eleven action items that North Carolinas new General Assembly should seek to implement in the first 100 days of the 2011 legislative session. These items touch upon a cross section of public policy areas, including education, economic development, property rights, energy and the environment, health care, the budget, and transparency. We at the John Locke Foundation believe that these items represent straightforward actions that would greatly enhance the liberty and prosperity of North Carolinas citizens.
North Carolinas regulatory environment is poor, especially in comparison with other states. Gov. Beverly Perdue signed a new executive order to modify the rulemaking process and help reduce the costs of regulation, which is a good start, but much will depend on how it is implemented in practice. For true regulatory reform, the legislature needs to build upon the executive order and apply reforms to all agencies.
The final budget for fiscal year 2011 spends $20.56 billion, $153 million more than the budget for fiscal year 2010. General fund availability in fiscal year 2011 excluding federal funds is $17 million less than was available in fiscal year 2010. A $7 billion shortfall (accounting for federal bailout funds, temporary taxes, pensions and retiree health benefits, etc.) in a $20 billion General Fund requires fundamental reform of state government.
Governments have been seeking ways to adopt or advertise their efforts at open government, sunshine, and transparency. Recent history is rife, however, with examples of how they have failed - such as Gov. Mike Easley's financial dealings and the hole in the state health plan.
Open government is just as important in a modern republic as it was two centuries ago. Larger bureaucratic states threatened to overwhelm the ability of citizens and their representatives to keep track of government.
Even those commission members who would have wanted a proper definition of meaningful services had to oppose the weak definition provided to them by the legislative staff. The chair prohibited commission members from amending the definition.
The recommendation was so weak that it would have allowed municipalities forcibly to annex areas without providing water and sewer service.
North Carolina's little-known Beach Plan imposes an enormous fiscal liability on the state. Intended largely to provide windstorm insurance for coastal residents unable to find coverage elsewhere, the Plan has grown to become one of the nation's largest entities of its type.
During policy discussions, much is made of the greed of private individuals, but rarely is government greed mentioned. Government greed is the lust for power that consumes policymakers — the desire to do whatever it takes to stay in power and to give government more power. In the North Carolina legislature, government greed is alive and well. Ten policy examples discussed in this report reasonably attest to this lust for power.
Mental health reform began in 2001, but has had disappointing results. This paper examines major areas of the mental health system – care management, criminal justice, provider networks, supplemental services, and payment. It offers some evolutionary steps toward improvement.

Brandi Glanville took a break from reality television to visit Florida and pose for new photos. Wetpaint reports on Wednesday that the "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star allowed a man to lick her face at an event. Glanville shared she was helping the hair salon's charity by signing books, but she seemed to be more focused on having fun with the men at the party.
Glanville is supposed to be filming "Celebrity Apprentice," but she may have used a break or an elimination to enjoy Delray Beach. Wearing a short black dress and a black flower headband, the reality star posed for several pictures at the event. In one of the photos, she allowed a shirtless man to lick her face as she had her arm draped around him.
The housewife warned her fans on Twitter that she was on a mission at the salon and wanted to make out with hot men. Glanville brought her best friend Jennifer Gimenez to the party and decided to focus on having fun. However, the reality star did not stay in Florida for long because she has returned home.
Although Glanville has been criticized for her behavior at the event, the housewife did not seem to care about the views of others and was not discussing it. Instead, she has focused on her move and mentioned she has hired Meathead Movers in California. Glanville admitted she was relying on the moving company and would be lost without them.
It was not clear where Glanville was moving next, but she has been busy packing. The "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" has allegedly been struggling to locate a new house for herself and her children with Eddie Cibrian. The housewife did not appear to have a lot of time left for house hunting based on her packing.

OpenESB / CAPS 6 JBI Demonstration @ Management World Nice 2008
By Louis Polycarpou on Jun 19, 2008
This year's Management World exhibition in Nice demonstrated a collaborative proof of a next generation Mediation Framework that aims to lower the integration costs to Operations Support Systems (OSS) as part of Nokia Siemens Networks' Open EMS Suite (OES). The demo consisted of a Java Business Integration (JBI) solution composed of software components from Nokia Siemens Networks, Sun Microsystems, Tail-f Systems and Xelas Software to prove three distinct use cases for Virtual Private Network (VPN) provisioning, Configuration Management (CM) upload and a Mobilised Operations Management Solution (MOMS) for resolution of trouble tickets.
Sun delivered its implementation for the latter use case which demonstrated the interaction a user would have with the OES Mediation Framework via a MOMS business process (implemented using our BPEL SE). A combination of Java CAPS Release 6 and open source JBI components (available from the Open ESB community) were used to implement the solution which consisted of a trouble ticketing application GUI (built using the Visual Java Server Faces editor in NetBeans 6.1) and a JBI business process which exposes a SOAP interface to the GUI. The business process orchestrates invocations to the Mediation Framework for retrieving site access information for failed network elements via specialised inventory binding components and other Java EE web services that simulate an order management system for creating work orders, ordering replacement hardware and assigning engineers based on location and schedule. The MOMS business process tracks changes made to the status of open work orders which are also reflected in the GUI.
Demonstration architecture and Mediation Framework
One of the advantages of Sun's JBI implementation is that the interface of the business process exposed to the web application (a Java EE module) as a SOAP binding can be wired directly in the Composite Application Service Assembly (CASA) editor so that the actual invocation takes place directly over the JBI Normalised Message Router (NMR) rather than over the wire. The service assembly diagram (taken from the CASA editor that ships with CAPS) below shows that the JBI and Java EE web service modules used to build the MOMS business process are wired directly and do not need to expose a SOAP port to be invoked. The only SOAP port exposed to the assembly is that for invoking the external OES Mediation Framework itself.

Yesterday's Budget was pretty smart in many ways, focusing squarely on those who do the right thing, work hard and take responsibility for themselves. Yet that serious, focused, sober effort has been diluted by this:
Which is just weird. It's interesting though because it points to a significant failing in the conversation that Tories have with voters: there is too much "they" and not enough "we".
One of the things that I found most grating about the debate over equal marriage, for example, is the way that almost everyone talked about "they". It's not "they" – it's we. It's our fellow Britons, our family members and our community figures. Similarly when gender equality is discussed – too often, I hear "they" not we. And when the party talks about modernising, renewing or whatever the current phrase is, I hear "they" when politicians actually mean we.
This is undermining the heartening efforts made in policy terms to rebalance the economy, improve our schools, allow and encourage us to take responsibility for ourselves, and so on. Is it just sloppiness? Probably (and to be fair, on this one, whether the ad had said 'they' or 'we' it would still have been mocked). But allowing it to happen encourages the attitude that some still have that Tories are not and do not care about 'people like me'. This is the single biggest challenge to a Conservative majority at the next election. But it's easy to fix – or at least, it should be.

Patient Preparation
Patient must not have any food or drink for 4 hours prior to their exam.
If the patient has had an IVP or a CT with IV contrast, a thyroid scan should not be attempted for 4-6 weeks. Patient should be off thyroid medications for 4-6 weeks. Many other medications interfere with scanning (PCN, antihistamines, Amiodarone, etc.). Make sure to notify the nuclear medicine technologist of any medications you are taking.
Exam ProcedureThe uptake and scan procedures involve two separate visits to the Nuclear Medicine Department. During the first visit, the patient will be asked to swallow a small amount of radioactive iodine in the form of a pill. The pill has no side effects. This visit should take approximately fifteen minutes.Six hours later, the patient must return for a measurement of their thyroid's radioiodine uptake. The uptake procedure measures the amount of radioactive iodine absorbed by the thyroid gland. For the uptake measurement, the patient sits comfortably in a chair, and a detector will be positioned several inches from the neck. The amount of the radioiodine in the thyroid gland will be measured. This will take approximately five minutes.For the scan, the patient will lie on their back on an imaging table with the camera positioned above them. The imaging will consist of 4 pictures which take up to five minutes each.

Are you a student at the University of Colorado-Boulder and are you looking for a great place to work that is not the library? Believe it or not, the library is not the best place to study at. It is loud, crowded, and too busy to focus at time. Plus, you often run into friends who are not in the productive population of town.
So, what is a student to do? On Friday the Feb. 21, 2014, Spark Boulder opened on The Hill. Spark is a new coworking place specially designed for the needs of students. They have special student rates as well as normal, public rates.
How is coworking better than a coffee shop? At a coworking place, you get a great work environment filled with other entrepreneurs. Unlike a coffee shop, you won't have to overhear two girls gossiping about their boyfriends and, instead, you'll get to meet people who are experts in whatever you need help in. For example, if you need help with PhotoShop, there is probably a PhotoShop expert working there too.
Josh Hill, a local student and owner of a website reviewing the best grinders, stated "coworking lets me feel as if I work with others while still being a freelancer. Its really the best of both worlds."
Looking for other coworking places in town to compare? There's a site dedicated to that but, if you are lazy, here is a list of current coworking places besides Spark.
- Scrib - it is located near Pearl street and offers free coffee. They also host events at Scrib as well.
- CoLab - located right on Pearl street, CoLab offers all the other usual perks of coworking as well as a gym with shower.
- Hub - located near Pearl street, Hub hosts the most events out of all the coworking spaces in Boulder. It is a great place to meet people for that reason.
- Fuse - located near Pearl as well, Fuse is located right next to Boulder Creek and you get a very good view of the creek from Fuse. Highly recommended for the scenery.
- Boulder Digital Arts - not located near Pearl, this coworking place is focused on designers and offers classes. Good if you want to work with designers.
With all these choices, what should you do? Most coworking places offer a free one day pass for you to check them out. Also, there is a coworking passport for Colorado that allows you to go to 10 different spaces in 6 different cities. Its great for the traveler.

The Facebook Carnage Continues
When will the bleeding stop?
Facebook shares are getting whacked again this morning, dropping as much as 9% minutes after the opening bell, as investors keep fretting about the social network's bungled IPO.
Shares dropped 7% to $31.65, earlier falling below $31 for the first time in its short history as a publicly traded company. The decline comes amid fresh questions about the company's steep valuation and ability to keep generating sustainable revenue. Facebook was initially valued at $104 billion based on the IPO price, but is now worth about $86.7 billion.
Questions have also arisen about Morgan Stanley reportedly cutting its Facebook revenue estimates just before the IPO. Reuters reported Morgan Stanley, the lead underwriter on the deal, unexpectedly told clients its Internet analyst reduced his revenue forecasts for Facebook during the company's roadshow. Such a move is pretty rare, especially for a bank working so closely on this type of deal.
From Reuters:
The change in Morgan Stanley's estimates came on the heels of Facebook's filing of an amended prospectus with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), in which the company expressed caution about revenue growth due to a rapid shift by users to mobile devices. Mobile advertising to date is less lucrative than advertising on a desktop.
"This was done during the roadshow – I've never seen that before in 10 years," said a source at a mutual fund firm who was among those called by Morgan Stanley.
JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs, which were also major underwriters on the IPO but had lesser roles than Morgan Stanley, also revised their estimates in response to Facebook's May 9 SEC filing, according to sources familiar with the situation.
The tumultuous ride for Facebook shares doesn't look like it's getting better anytime soon. The stock debuted on Friday amid a plethora of tech glitches that impacted trading in millions of shares. The stock closed up only 23 cents during its trading debut, then tumbled 11% yesterday during its second day as a public company.
Facebook's woes aren't swaying other social-media stocks this morning. LinkedIn shares are up 6.6% and have moved back above $100. Zynga — closely linked to Facebook because its games are placed on the social networking giant — is up 1.3%. Pandora Media is up 2%.

Last year we were commissioned to create the branding identity for the new Lotte Avenuel Luxury Mall in Seoul located in the Lotte World Tower (Seoul's tallest skyscraper due to be completed this year). For this vast project we created the mall's main packaging system, signature patterns, building interior and exterior super graphics and the signage system amongst other things. It took us a long while to be able to gather and organize the documenting images for this project but here they are (finally!) and we are so proud to present them to you!

It was the paintings. It all comes back to the Seagram's Murals for me. I was working in London and I happened to go to the Tate Modern museum. Walking into that room and being among those grand and brooding murals for the first time was almost overpowering. They touched me, mostly because of their sense of profound seriousness. I read the little description on the wall of the gallery and knew, immediately, there was a play in Rothko's complicated relationship with his work. Almost as immediately I knew it had to be a two-hander, to reflect the vibrant interplay of the colors on the canvasses. For me Red has always been binary: red/black; light/dark; young/old; teacher/student; father/son. In the end if you don't like the play, blame me, not the paintings. They are mute, magnificent and unassailable.

Rodney Hide's article today clearly illustrates the overarching problem in this area.
We wait for some political backbone to appear.
While wharfies returned to work at the Ports of Auckland (PoAL) in early April after several months of strikes, the Maritime Union has gone on the charm offensive, reminding people the dispute is far from over.
In 'The Wharfies Story' - a glossy account from the workers' perspective - the union urges public support, while accusing the port company of being unwavering in its tactics, and compromising the livelihoods of the men who work the docks.
The most recent development in the year-long dispute saw the Employment Relations Authority (ERA) this week reject the union's bid to take its dispute to the Employment Court.
Since the lockout ended, however, reports about the dispute and whether it is any closer to settlement, have been far and few between.
This is seemingly because the port company wants to keep the status quo for now; the last thing it wants is another strike at Christmas.
But it may try its bid for contracting out jobs again next year.
For the public, however, it looks like the dispute has been settled, according to the wharfies story, which the union is distributing to local government officials, politicians and community groups.
But the dispute remains unresolved a year after bargaining started on a new collective agreement.
Despite the port being a council-owned and controlled organisation, "there is a real sense that the process and decision making around this dispute has not been open," the union says.
"There has been significant inconvenience and cost to customers.
"There has also been significant costs and inconvenience to employees of the port and their families - loss of wages and stress caused by a difficult working environment."
According to the union, wharfies are maintaining professionalism, despite losing many skilled workers due to the unfavourable working conditions.
It accuses PoAL of being unwavering in its 'take it or leave it' position to contract out jobs, and if the current course continues, both sides will lose.
"If we win, then the chances for a cooperative model of change will be hugely reduced, the workforce is likely to be spit because of the disruption 'winning' will cause, and workers are likely to have lost income and work opportunities," the union says.
"If the port win this dispute, then it is likely to end up with an inexperienced and unhappy workforce, little co-operation, poor quality jobs, a reputation amongst international union members as a bad employer and no guarantee of any productivity improvements or industrial peace."
The Maritime Union credits fellow unionists Simon Oosternman of the NDU, and Malcolm McNeill, Georgina McLeod and Bill Rosenberg of the CTU in helping product the booklet.
Labour List MP Carol Beaumont is also credited, along with FIRST Union's Sam Huggard, Rebecca Matthews and Bill Bradford.
By publishing a booklet explaining its side of the story, the Maritime Union hopes it will win over the public.
The union says it is "determined that the full story of this dispute is told and in particular that there is greater accountability and transparency."
Whether it achieves that is another matter, but it's a worthy tactic from a group apparently desperate to ensure it's message is heard.

5 Comments & Questions
Rodney Hide's article today clearly illustrates the overarching problem in this area.
Yes we are deperate to get our point of view across, That's because people like you are too keen to present the right wing view of situations like this. have seen the press releases that our Union sends out that get no airing in the press,at all, certainly in Auckland.
You call yourself a journalist, well how about really reading this, and then analyse the graphs and you will see our figures stand up. Try reporting the ACIL meeting on Thurs and then read the email it's leader Gary Swift sent to the POAL discussing ways to present the events so they support what he and port company want. This from a guy who is supposed to be impartial.
Try doing some real journalism and stop doing your bosses bidding.
Coming from a family of dock workers, I've seen the devastating affect that untramelled union activity can have. Its good that POAL have kept their heads down and their back straight and proceeded to "time out" the contracts so they can end up with a port that doesn't have lazy thugs on its workforce,

Spread Collars-Learn about our array of options
We pride ourselves on the variety of our dress shirts, which feature just about every color, pattern, cuff and collar style imaginable, not to mention fit and fabric choices. And this year, thanks to their increased popularity, we're proud to unveil a wide array of spread-collar options.
Spread collars are a stylish way to express confidence. We love straight and buttondown collars too, but spreads belong in that same category of more assertive collar choices that includes club collars, tab collars, and collars fastened with a pin (eyelet collar). But the spread trumps them all, and most would agree it's the most formal of shirt collars.
That doesn't mean you can't wear it any way you want (even without a tie), as we're all fortunate to live in an age with flexible dress standards. But there are a few things you should keep in mind, stuff that should be filed under know the rules before you break them. Because the spread collar is a formal dress shirt, it is most traditionally paired with a suit rather than a sport coat and slacks. What's more, it's especially at home with suits that are more formal, such as three-piece suits or double breasted.
Proportion is key in menswear, and the extra space between a spread collar's points are best filled with a bulkier tie knot. Use one of your heftier ties, or tie a Windsor or half-Windsor. Don't know the knot? Try YouTube, where there are a ton of tie-knot instructional videos or by viewing our tips on how to tie a tie.
We're not big followers of choosing collar types based on the shape of your face, and say go for it whether your face is broad and square or long and narrow.
Our selection this season includes our Windsor Spread Collar in the everyday workhorse colors white and blue, and a tone-on-tone Satin Ottoman Stripe that's discretely elegant. For more adventurous options, check out our Raised Satin Stripe, Green Textured Windowpane, Houndstooth, and Alternating Stripe.

2 Comments to "Spread Collars-Learn about our array of options"
I have a 15.5″ collar size, 32″ sleeve, I am 5'6″ ht, and I am wondering what the most appropriate collar to wear.
I like the looks of the formal straight, but I am worried about the collar may look too big and out of proportion to my size.
What do you suggest as what would look right? I usually do a 1/2 Windsor knot tie.
Thank you for your suggestions.

Gaming is a passion for many of the world's population, but when you're willing to risk spending hard time in jail for armed robbery to procure some games, well, you may have a problem. A GameStop in Tennessee received a call on Wednesday from an unsuspecting male asking for the employee to reserve an Xbox One and three games in particular: NBA 2K14, Call of Duty: Ghosts and Ubisoft's Just Dance 2014. The police disclosed that the armed robber, drove around the parking lot (possibly to work up the "courage"), before finally entering the store, pulling out his weapon and demanding his order -- surprisingly, during the daytime. The robber promptly left after receiving his reserved goods from the clerk.
An extremely broad description given to police is a man between the heights of 5'8" and 5'10", weighs about 220 pounds and between 20 to 30 years old, driving a Nissan Versa.

College Hockey:Feb. 7-8 WCHA picks: Winter Carnival edition
Eight of the WCHA's 10 teams are in action this weekend while Alaska and Bowling Green take the weekend off so the rest of the league can catch up to them in games played.
After the weekend, everyone in the WCHA will be within two games played of each other. Ferris State, Northern Michigan, Lake Superior State and Alabama-Huntsville will have played 20 games while the rest of the league will have played 22.
Here are this week's picks:
Alabama-Huntsville at Michigan Tech
Matt: It's Winter Carnival weekend in Houghton, where winter is embraced, not mourned. The university has been done with classes since Wednesday, when engineering students stayed up all night into Thursday building some of the cooler snow and ice sculptures you ever see. I'm looking forward to checking those out, and some hockey on Saturday. It should be another good weekend for Tech. Huskies 4-1, 5-1
Shane: Nothing says welcome to the WCHA like that first trip to Houghton, and the Chargers get a double-shot, as they're the opponent of choice for Winter Carnival weekend. I've never been there for the Carnival myself but was there the week before once when the sculptures were under construction. The students worked deep into the night after the Friday game but must have been at the bars on Saturday. A tradition like no other? Anyway, big chance for the Huskies to make a move in the standings. Huskies 4-1, 4-3
Northern Michigan at Ferris State
Matt: According to the NMU hockey Twitter account (http://twitter.com/NMUHockey), the Wildcats have not played in Big Rapids since the 2009-10 season. It was an old quirk of the CCHA scheduling rotation, which also seemed to keep Michigan from ever playing in Marquette as well. The Wildcats played the Bulldogs tough during their unbeaten streak, mustering a tie in Marquette. I say the NMU seniors get a win in their first ever games at Ferris. Wildcats 3-2, Bulldogs 4-2
Shane: The best thing the WCHA did a few years ago was go to a real scheduling rotation that Minnesota coach Don Lucia came up with to prevent scenarios such as the one Matt mentioned above. The plan guaranteed every team play in the other teams' barns at least 3 of every 4 years. That worked until Bemidji State and Nebraska Omaha came aboard to make it a 12-team league. Back to 10 in the newlook league, I hope the Lucia Plan is back in place. Anyway, I liked some things I saw from NMU last weekend and think Ferris has cooled a bit. Wildcats 4-2, Bulldogs 4-1
Alaska-Anchorage at Lake Superior State
Matt: The Lakers desperately need points this weekend, though they still have some games in hand. The problem is they don't have games in hand on the team right in front of them — Northern Michigan. UAA is 1-5-2 this year on the road in the WCHA, but LSSU is only 4-6-0 in Sault Ste. Marie, having lost three of its last four. Lakers 4-3, Seawolves 3-1
Shane: It's hard to believe the Lakers, who started off so hot this year, are now in real danger of missing the WCHA's postseason. They have a tough road the rest of the way, so if they're going to get out of the hole, it better start now. They're hosting an Anchorage team that is in position to be at home for the playoffs but one that hasn't been all that good away from Alaska this season. A sweep by Lake Superior could really shake up these tight, tight standings. But I don't see that happening. Seawolves 2-1, Lakers 3-1
Bemidji State at Minnesota State
Matt: The Beavers have been better on the road (5-3-2) than at home (3-5-2) this year, while only Ferris State (7-0-1) has been better on their home ice than the Mavericks (7-1-0). Bemidji split with MSU back in the first two days of November when the Mavericks were clearly struggling. That's not the case, at least in Mankato, in February. Mavericks 3-1, 4-1
Shane: Other than the Mavericks themselves, no one's happier to see that team play in Mankato this weekend than me (well, maybe my wife … well, maybe not). Anyway, MSU has played 10 of its last 12 games away from home. They're 9-1-0 at home this season and have also won 5 of the last 6 games in which they've hosted the Beavers. The two teams split in Bemidji in November.Mavericks 3-2, 5-2
Last week: Matt 5-1-0, Shane 3-2-0. Overall: Shane 104-51-20, Matt 100-56-20.

Marsh also swam on the sixth-place 200-yard medley relay team and 400-yard freestyle relay team, which also included juniors Tessa Hayman, Drew Sanclemente and freshman Kristina Newton.
Sanclemente also took fifth in the 50-yard freestyle and eighth in the 100-yard freestyle, while Newton took eighth in the 100-yard butterfly. Junior Ana Games added an eighth-place diving finish, giving Appo 151 points for the meet, just five behind fifth-place St. Mark's and two ahead of Cape Henlopen.
St. Andrew's finished 14th among girls' teams. The Cardinals were led by sophomore Caroline Fry, who finished seventh in the 200-yard freestyle race and eighth in the 500-yard freestyle event. She also swam on the Cardinals' eighth-place 400-yard relay team, along with freshman Hannah Beams, sophomore Alexandra Grusky and junior Carbery Campbell.
St. Andrew's fared better on the boys' side of the competition, finishing in eighth place. Sophomore Alec Huang swam to a seventh-place finish in the 200-yard individual medley event. Huang also led a relay team that finished sixth in both the 200-yard and 400-yard freestyle events. The relay also featured sophomores Alexander Geiersbach, Jay Kang and junior Jay Jacobs.
Appoquinimink finished 23rd among boys teams.
Salesianum won the boys' team title - their ninth in a row and 24th in the last 27th years - by edging Charter School of Wilmington by nine points. Charter dominated on the girls' side, winning for the seventh consecutive year. Ursuline finished second.

Getting innovation through any process of understanding is hard. Knowing what is required to generate innovation throughout an entire organization is even more so.
We need to deploy the cascading effect on innovation
Often we fail to understand our role in contributing to innovation; we need a 'cascading effect'. For me the "cascading effect" for innovation is "a sequence of events in which each produces the circumstances necessary for the initiation of the next". It is the presenting of an idea, a concept, prototype, and a piece of knowledge that provides the catalyst to be exploited in a broader community as the next step, and so on. It cascades. It is where we fit within the innovation web.
Innovation often has to go through a set of stage gates, or cross thresholds, set by others or judged to be the essential cross over points. When you achieve these cross over points you induce more resources, more attention and momentum. The more it successfully progresses, it eventually gains a higher resilience and then the innovation picks up more for this "cascading effect".
The more thresholds you cross, you gain space, time, increasing attention within the organization and an increasing identity of what the innovation can achieve. The more it creates a 'reaction' or achieves 'growing interactions' then the more it 'cascades' for producing a cumulative effect moving through the successive stages. We gain increasing identity and strength the more we get involved in the 'cascading effect'.
Influencing the dynamics within the innovation system
Innovation does need structures and systems. It is complex. As we get increasingly involved in innovation activity we meet more of the unforeseen, the uncertainties of working on something new where there is a need to make a decision, often on a limited set of factors than the ideal. We need to reach out for help, for understanding, for assistance.
So 'the cascade effect for innovation' often does have to deal with many unforeseen chains of events that need working through, as they can be negative on the system by taking away vital resources from other more valuable, commercially viable projects, or they can be breakthrough or transformational in pursuing.
By having in place a clear Innovation framework you can have a communicating mechanism to discuss many of these unforeseen events. It guides innovation activity. The framework can establish a common language for this to work, so everyone can get 'the picture,' relate to their part and understand its component parts to form this common platform.
I clearly would suggest this is based on the Executive Innovation Work Mat, it can offer much in helping innovation if well thought through. Our resources are finite and innovation often suffers even more from this than many other aspects within business. We do need to provide an organizing innovation framework coming from those that set the strategy. This provides the general roadmap, the direction, the frame where innovation contributes to strategy. If we don't have a well-articulated innovation strategy, how do you expect innovations that 'drive' the strategy forward to meet its aims?
We have the need to cascade innovation from the top down
We do need a clear innovation strategic framework to moderate and accelerate meaningful innovation. Often we don't, this is not provided from our leader within organizations, it is left far too open. For me the framework provided through the work mat approach sets out to moderate innovation and goes much towards reducing the multiple interpretations, and the variety of initiatives often described or justified as innovative but definitely missing the strategic mark.
The majority of people within the organization I believe would appreciate a greater understanding of the core concepts, principles and direction that their innovation activity should take. To understand what is valued, essential to defend, promote and improve. To clarify what is highly strategic to describe and 'form' around helps innovation to perform its required task, of delivering new growth that aligns into the strategic needs.
Equally, many within organizations where innovation is left more 'open' we do run the risk that there is an over-emphasis on idea generation. By placing the emphasis point further along the innovation value chain that it is the exploring the benefits that flow from ideas, not the ideas alone, can make a significant difference in improving the quality of innovation and reducing the belief that quantity was the important aspect.
Then we also have to cascade innovation from the bottom up.
The richness of innovation lies not just in the well planned but in the sudden discovery, the pursuit of a game changing innovation concept often stumbled upon. Many of these come from the bottom up. In research labs across the globe, the researcher should have permission, an open endorsement from above, to investigate and explore innovation, not just in their field of ability but equally encouraged in a broader sense, as well.
There are many benefits in building into our daily activities valuable time to explore, to allow employees to investigate 'something' that initially may not seem to fit with any prescribed plan of predetermined concepts but from this "free time" emerges something that can evolve and fits perfectly within a good corporate strategy.
Equally there are countless innovations that emerged from nowhere, that had no relationship with the strategic directions, yet have been successful. Are these wrong, should they be ignored, killed off or just simply allowed to happen? Usually some survive and thrive against all odds, starved of resources, yet they somehow 'emerge' and become outstanding contributors to an organizations business.
Organizations need to stay totally alert to these. The issue is the way you approach this. If you insist on innovation that only 'maps' back to the innovation strategy, you drive out an awful lot of entrepreneurial energy, you miss many a potential innovation that might have been you next block buster. We need to find a balance here but it needs visibility and curiosity and allow for time for emerging, unexpected innovations, to permeate before they are finally judged.
The combination effect of wanting to innovate and being able too is the desired end result
Innovation provides organization the very concepts that drive growth, contribute to profits in new ways and allows individuals within the organization to identify with success.
If we don't offer a sound innovation framework, innovation remains haphazard, left to chance. If we build into peoples work time the chance to explore innovation that 'fits' the overarching strategy, we combine the best of both aspects. What we want to encourage is innovation that allows for both a purposeful approach to innovation that 'seems' to align to the direction laid out in the strategy but also to allow for those moments when you stumble upon something that has real promise. We need to allow for both upward as well as downward movement on innovation discovery and activity and work hard both ends.
The "cascading effect for innovation" has a two-way flow.
We need to encourage bottom up innovation, those that are close to markets, the raw ideas and who can make more connections than those far removed. We also need the overarching innovation framework so everyone has a growing understanding of where, how, with whom and why innovation needs to head in a 'given' set of directions and what are the critical components that enable this to 'connect and happen' and provides the 'how' it can work.
The components of the Executive Innovation Work Mat, can promote this "cascading effect needed for innovation" to flow both ways and move closer to a well-aligned organization that marks a successful business.

July 2014
My wife and I thought the Pearl River Night Cruise a quite remarkable experience. Never before have we seen lighting used in the way it is on the Pearl. Brilliant fireworks have their place in ephemeral displays of light, colour and spectacle, but the elegance and the sheer number of riverside features, buildings, bridges, boats, ferries, all illuminated by the brilliant placement of lighting, made for a memorable experience for us both.
It is a trip we highly recommend that any visitor to Guangzhou take in. Thanks to you and our guide on the night.

All credit to the tour guide Ms.Maggie Ho for a wonderful tour.
Speaks good English.
April 2015
Great view on top of Boat Guide was very talkative
October 2014
To be honest this tour was very disappointing. It was very expensive for my daughter and I to go on.
We could not understand our guide easily. We were taken to the boat and he left us and advised
there would be an english translation of the Pearl River. This was not the case and we didn't have
a clue what the landmarks were. It was by far the worst tour I have ever done and I booked 2 in
Guanzhou in China and 2 transfers in Rome with Viator for this holiday.

After examining the artworks on display at Holga's, monOrchid, Modified Arts, 515, and eye lounge, and ruminating on them, and who made them, I must unfairly but helplessly conclude by paraphrasing Zed in Men in Black:
"Congratulations -- you're everything we've come to expect from years of American education."
by Jerome du Bois
Art writing in the blogosphere is desultory, poor, nitpicky, pulish and short -- on ideas. Ill start with the last.
In the three months since our debut, as we made the rounds of the dozen or so most popular art writing blogs, probing archives, monitoring the conversations, the big bounces have been about Modigliani, Morandi, Frank Lloyd Wright, Clement Greenberg, and Terry Teachouts variation of the desert island stash cliché. Mr. Teachout also started a mini-flurry about recognizing masterpieces when one sees them, with art bloggers huffing and puffing as if there really was a valid argument from authority.
I saw people pounce at the drop of a tired dichotomy -- say, art versus artifact -- and staunchly defend their positions as if the stakes were even smaller than those in academia. As if both was not an answer. As if one could not use a stack of fifty-two definitions of art, each with its cautionary clauses and delimitations, fanned out for ones consideration. Why not? Every definition -- like every actual object -- has a cloudy constellation of histories attached to it -- some closer, some farther away, some fading at the edges like the questionable ends of a bell curve -- and people are becoming more comfortable with that. Not many things in this world can withstand the focused human gaze, much less the questioning mind. We figure things out.
Life is complicated, this is the 21st Century, and most smart people, when conscious, routinely navigate lifes jukenjive using a wide range of tools, physical, emotional, psychological, speculative, and imaginative. Why should they put them down in the presence of art? Why shouldnt artists try to make art as big and serious as life? And why havent I run across this question in the art blogosphere before?
Most art bloggers are not asking big questions or advancing new notions. They pick nits. They have gotten excited about the spatial tension in Morandis still lives, charmed by Modiglianis tilted necks, all studious about what ol Clem really meant, and angry about leaky roofs in the houses of that odious misogynist, Frank Lloyd Wright. Oh, and your five fave art works to take to a desert island, just to polish your one-upmanship.
On August 24th, Catherine King posted an essay on our blog about painter Beverly McIver. Everything she wrote came from her reflections about the images on the canvases, and Ms. McIvers own words and actions. Ms. King covered racial dishonesty, psychological cruelty, institutional insipidity, artistic ineptitude, and disingenuous grant-mongering. (It appeared in Carnival of the Vanities #49.)
Nobody said nothing. Theyre still saying nothing. But on August 28th Mr. Green posted on his blog the following:
Bored at the end of the summer? You can take a class in Theory and Method in the Study of Architecture and Art via MIT's website. It's free -- but you get no course credit. And of course you have to sift through a lot of theoretical mumbo-jumbo.
(Thanks for the heads-up.)
In an earlier essay, on the Arizona Biennial, Ms. King deployed three clearly defined aesthetic criteria, one of them modified from the curators own, to assess the works there. She found them wanting. She made a lot of pungent judgments and asked a lot of pointed questions.
Nobody answered, except some whiners in the comments section.
Finally, in one of our first postings, Ms. King watched and listened as her expectations of Tucson artist Mark Rubin-Toles, one of whose artworks she admired, broke apart one by one, revealing a sociopathic snuff-freak. She wondered how a man like that could make such a sensitive work of art.
Nobody cared enough to help her with her wonder.
I wrote about the vile Santiago Sierra without mercy, with a lot of anger, with chapter and verse, and even with a list of questions. I got an unhelpful, private email from one art blogger (who should be called the third blowhard), but nothing else. (Though Aaron Haspel had a kind word.)
I wrote that Life Always Trumps Art, that artists must take the measure of life and act accordingly. I wrote:
But I see very little art out there, from sea to shining sea, and definitely here in desert metro/Phoenix, that is so profoundly eccentric as to establish a new center -- or that brings a mature challenge to our expectations -- or that helps anyone into the future -- or that repudiates empty trances -- or that fosters clearer reflection -- or that thrives beyond cultural clichés and other dead horses -- or that takes a strong stand against our common oblivion.
I'll now extend that observation to the art writing I've encountered so far.
Read Catherine King's Crowd of Witnesses for the background to this persistent phenomenon.

Lots of mountain lion activity in SW Colorado this year.
Here is the first one:
Durango Herald Online
And the second:
Durango Herald Online
Two young (1-2 year old) mountain lions were killed in Durango, CO this week. There have been lots of discussions on this board about how much gun is required to kill various wild animals. Interesting point is that both of these cats were killed with a .22 caliber rifle.
They haven't caught up with the Cortez lion yet.

One of the latest trends to sweep the fashion industry is the use of ceramics in the creation of time pieces. Although ceramic watches have been produced for over 10 years the consumer awareness and demand has only recently begun to take off. Ceramic is becoming the go to material for creating the top of the range high quality time pieces for a lot of leading brand collections because of its quality and durability. Where once people would think of the fragility and brittle nature of ceramics more and more people are becoming aware that through the use of advanced techniques during the creation of ceramic watches they can be given strength and durability equal to that of similar metal watches as well as the added benefits that a ceramic watches presents
- Increased scratch resistance
- Light weight
- Non fading colour because the colour is in the material not painted over the top
- Rust proof
- Bright glossy colour
- Hypoallergenic
STORM London is always on the lookout for the latest advancements in technology and style when it comes to our time pieces so it should be no surprise that we have our own ceramic range the Sona available in both black and white with the case and band made completely from ceramics.

University of Iowa Head Coach, Bond Shymansky, shares a drill that helps build the slide hitter from the ground up. Coach Shymansky takes a closer look at the one foot take off and how to improve a hitters footwork. He explains how important the last two steps are when practicing the drill. Coach Shymansky shows how to train all hitters from any zone at the net to run a slide or one foot take-off type of attack.
Setup: The coach tosses the ball up to the athlete and clears out so the hitter has room to land. The athlete is focusing on the last two steps before the one foot take-off. The approach is irrelevant, it can be a three or five step approach to the ball. The hitter finishes the hit with the elbow over the wrist.

TC TO J. W. DONALDSON; 5 August 1854; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18540805-TC-JWD-01; CL 29: 137-138
Chelsea, 5 Augt, 1854—
My dear Sir,
Doubtless you can recollect what a struggle there was, last year about this time, for a day or two, in searching for the mystery of Major Quintus Icilius.1 He remained, I must confess, and does still remain, considerably a riddle to me. Nicolai's account of Prussian things is usually exact:2 but in what circumstances (whether à propos of Pharsalia and the Tenth Legion, or of what) the learned Captain Guichard "Produced the Book next morning," and convinced Frederick of his royal error, and got the title Major Quintus Icilius ever afterwards,—above all things, what "Book" it was that he produced?3 There are still questions; and except that the game is rather worthless, a good deal of excellent candle might still be spent in prosecuting it. I accepted your ingenious solution as the plausiblest attainable, and keep it safe, being unwilling to waste human intellect farther in such a pursuit.
However, there came yesterday, extracted from a late edition of the Conversations Lexicon (later than mine of about 1830, which contains no article Guichard), the following sentence given under that Head of Guichard: "Einstmals in Gesprüch über den Centurier Ilicius, der beim Polybius, erwähnt wird und den der König Icilius nannte"4—which gives a new figure to the inquiry, and throws Nicolai as it were out of the game.
The problem now would be to find a Centurion Ilicius in Polybius, whom the King could have misnamed Icilius;—or vice versa would do equally well, and be still more likely as an origin for Guichard's nickname. But alas on going to Donne5 yesterday with this discovery, and trying all his editions of Polybius (the French Folard and the Greek Schweighäuser)6 there is nowhere in the Indexes such a name as either Icilius or Ilicius; and as of course there cannot be any talk of Pharsalia &c in Polybius, we are thrown out into the beach again, and remain almost more helpless than before!
Far be it from me to wish or even permit you to search into dim old Books for such a waif as this Ilicius the extremely insignificant Centurion (if he were even that, or were anything) of 2000 years ago: only I could not but report the new phasis of the riddle to you; and will say, If you do ever in Polybius or elsewhere come upon such a name, pray mark it down, and give me notice.7
We are here all autumn; nearly drowned with rain at present; and not in any respect too triumphantly circumstanced. If you ever come to Town in these months, in all likelihood we are to be found here.
Yours always truly /
T. Carlyle
Revd Dr Donaldson &c &c

College of Arts & Sciences The Graduate Division Professional and Liberal Education
James Sadler, C'13, is a man with a passion. A political science major with a minor in urban education, Sadler has been engaging with the Philadelphia school system since his freshman year, volunteering in various schools as well as writing an 89-page report that Joseph P. Tierney, executive director of the School's Fox Leadership Program, has called "the best research paper that I've ever read for a freshman."
Sadler's paper, titled "Defining Success: A Case Study of Three 'Successful' High Schools in Inner City Philadelphia," analyzes distinctive ways to measure success, such as Pennsylvania System of School Assessment Test (PSSA) scores. For his research, Sadler looked at three high schools that were deemed successful: Strawberry Mansion High School; Mathematics, Civics and Sciences Charter School (MCSCS); and West Philadelphia Catholic High School. Over the course of the summer-long project, Sadler spent hours visiting and observing the schools, interviewing principals, assistant principals, counselors, teachers, and other educators. He looked at variables like parental satisfaction, SAT scores, college acceptance, and school structure and philosophy.
Sadler found that West Catholic had high parental acceptance, graduation, and college enrollment rates. The school's seniors were admitted to some of the finest institutions in the country, including New York University and Penn. "That tells me that these higher education institutions trust the education that's provided [at West Catholic]," he says.
The Strawberry Mansion staff was united around one philosophy and believed in a rigorous framework. But while researching the school, Sadler says he noticed a very huge spike in their PSSA scores. He says he found it "a little bit suspicious," but assumed the scores were legitimate. However, Strawberry Mansion was one of the schools flagged by the Pennsylvania Department of Education for suspicious PSSA results in both reading and math.
Sadler says the PSSA scores for MCSCS were not much better than typical neighborhood high schools, but the school is very safe and clean. "I could definitely see why parents would choose MCSCS as an alternative to more dangerous schools," he says.
When writing the paper, Sadler says he was a proponent of using the PSSAs to gauge success. He has since wavered from that belief. "Before I thought it was useful because I thought that success really meant that you were able to have basic math and reading skills, and also have the ability to explore and get inspired by other educational opportunities," he says. "But I didn't realize at the time that those two are almost contradictory to each other."
Sadler says the knowledge and qualitative research experience he obtained through writing the paper, and the insight into how the School District of Philadelphia functions has opened doors to many other opportunities, including an internship with Public Citizens for Children and Youth. He envisions a career in urban education. "The policy issues really, really interest me," he says.
