Strategic Planning in Westside Community Schools
Westside Community Schools believes in the value of regularly scanning the organization's internal and external environment for significant changes and trying to understand the implications of these changes for programs, organizational structures, staffing, etc. Strategic planning is the catalyst for continuous improvement. It encourages thinking about our school District's "big picture"-- its broad goals and priorities, and how well they are being achieved. It further involves stepping back from our day-to-day operations and asking where our community and schools are headed and what our priorities should be.
In Spring 2009, the District Strategic Planning Committee met to review the strategic planning process that had been in place in Westside since 1985 and to examine other strategic planning models too. The committee decided to further explore a new strategic planning model known as the Simplified Strategic Planning Model. Developed at Michigan State University and widely used by a number of Fortune 500 corporations, the model was primarily designed for private enterprise; however, the planning committee felt it could be modified to serve as a comprehensive and innovative approach to strategic planning for the District. Dana Baldwin, an outside consultant, trained the District Strategic Planning Committee on the use of the model in Spring 2009.
After training with Mr. Baldwin, District administrators decided:
· the strategic planning process would clarify the District's vision, its mission, its values, and its key success factors
· the Capabilities Assessment tool, the SWOT (e.g. Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) tool, and the Winner's
Profile Tool would be used by various stakeholder groups (e.g. professional staff, support staff, parents and students) to
identify strategic plan goals
· new strategic planning goals would integrate with previously identified goals-- such as Curriculum, Instruction, and
Assessment goals, building goals, communication goals, and World Class Initiative goals -- to form the core of the District's
new strategic plan
· an action planning committee would identify the specific strategies district stakeholders would use to reach each goal.
The District began implementing the Westside Strategic Planning Goals in Spring 2010:
Goal 1: All students will be proficient in reading, writing and math and the achievement between subgroups will decrease annually.
Goal 2: All students will graduate, be globally competent citizens and possess the skills necessary to enter a meaningful career or career pathway.
Goal 3: We will recruit, hire, develop and train the highest quality teachers, support staff, and administrators.
Each goal is represented by an action planning committee composed of staff members from a variety of curricular areas and grade levels. The action plans they develop use research-based strategies to guide the District toward each goal. Action plans are developed and reviewed annually and shared with staff.
Strategic planning is an ongoing process of continuous improvement that allows Westside Community Schools to remain focused on its broad goals and priorities.

Hannah Kearney is the number one female moguls skier in the world for a reason she's really good.
She's always a pretty safe bet to win, no matter the location, but at Deer Valley? Forget about it it's just about a foregone conclusion.
After winning a gold medal in Thursday's World Cup competition at the Park City ski resort, Kearney was back at it again Saturday night, claiming her second gold medal of the weekend.
Kearney not only won the competitions, she also finished first in the qualifying rounds and semifinals, ensuring she'd get to go last in each of the finals.
So, does she ever get tired of those long waits in the starting gates at the top of the course?
"Nope," she answered with a laugh. "I haven't seen many women ski this competition, because if you're the last one down, you don't get to see many women. That's fine by me."
Though she won both events, Kearney was happier with her performance on Saturday night.
"That felt really good," she said. "That felt like a prettier run than my one two nights ago. I tried to find the balance of speed, but also control. That felt much cleaner."
And, she added, now that she's back to her winning ways, she doesn't want to take a break.
"That gives me momentum and I want to go compete again right now," she said.
With all the support from the home crowd, Kearney probably wouldn't mind adding a third World Cup event to the Deer Valley schedule.
"You can see, feel and hear the crowd," she said amid the roar of the nearly 8,500 fans packed around the base of the moguls course. "I used it as practice. There's a chance this is a bigger crowd than we'll have at the Olympics. And there were certainly more people cheering for me than there will be at the Olympics. I tried to put on a show."
But, while she's thrilled with the way she skied at Deer Valley, she's not going to stop trying to improve her run.
"You analyze the video, figure out what you're going to work on and then do that," she said. "There's absolutely always something to be fixed or improved upon. That's how I'll move forward."
In fact, Kearney saw something she wanted to work on even before she was handed her gold medal on Saturday night.
"Standing in the finish area, they show a replay of your jumps," she said. "I saw something on my bottom jump I want to fix. I want to be able to get that grab sooner so I can hang onto it for longer. There's always something."
Yulia Galysheva of Kazakhstan won a silver medal on Saturday night, with Maxime Dufour-Lapointe of Canada claiming her first-ever podium finish by taking home the bronze medal.
Canadian Alex Bilodeau outgunned teammate, and current No. 1 mogulist, Mikael Kingsbury on the men's side Saturday night, claiming his first gold medal of the season. After winning Thursday's competition, Kingsbury had to settle for a silver medal on Saturday. Russian Alexandr Smyshlyaev finished in third place.
American Patrick Deneen finished just off the podium in fourth place. His teammate, Sho Kishima, crashed in the superfinal round, causing him to finish in sixth.
"Hopefully I can bust out some tougher jumps next week and the week after that," Kishima said. "This course being so challenging, I kind of struggled off the bottom jump all week, so I held back a little bit."

United: The Sri Lanka team celebrates the fall of a wicket during the tour opener against the Chairman's XI in Canberra. Photo: Getty Images
SRI Lanka's cricket team has been hailed as an example of cross-cultural unity amid calls for its matches to be boycotted because of the actions of its government.
But Australian Test opener Ed Cowan said he considered the presence of Sri Lanka's squad in Australia to be a positive.
''The Sri Lankan cricket team are a great example of people … who have in the past been able to put their differences aside and come together as a nation and play cricket, and I think that is fantastic. Apart from that I don't think it is my job to comment on human rights issues,'' Cowan said.

Jan. 23, 2011
By Matt Winter
Husky fans may not know much about Antoine Hosley.
The freshman walk-on is averaging just under two minutes played in only nine games, usually when the game is sealed and the crowd is too busy going crazy for fellow walk-on Brendan Sherrer. Hosley has just one field goal this season (a 3-pointer against Virginia that happened to be the team's record 17th of the game), three rebounds, and an assist.
However, Hosley wasn't brought to the team to an instant-impact player. He's a long-term project that is helping the team on a day-to-day basis in practice without costing the team a scholarship.
He's a walk-on, but unlike Sherrer (who joined the team via tryout a year ago ), Hosley came to Washington to play basketball.
"It was a long process," says Hosley, who turned down offers at several smaller schools in favor of Washington. "I didn't know I was coming here until after our [high school] season was over. I had some conversations with Coach [Lorenzo] Romar and I felt like Washington would be a good place to go."
Hosley graduated from Jefferson High School in Portland, Ore. the same school that produced fellow Husky teammate Terrence Ross. He won Oregon 4A state championships during his junior and senior season (he played his freshman and sophomore year at Evergreen in Vancouver, Wash.), and was named all-state as a senior after averaging 15 points and five assists.
One thing that is evident when talking to Hosley is his mentality - unselfish, motivated, composed - and how well he is suited to play point guard. You can tell right away that is the reason Romar wanted him on the squad.
"I like to get out and run," Hosley says of his game. "That's another thing that drew me to Washington - the fast-paced game. I think that's the type of player I am. I can make plays in transition well. I'm a shooter. I like to get other people involved."
As a young point guard, he could not be in a better position to learn. Not only is his coach an ex-NBA point guard, but he's playing alongside three older point guards - all very different, but very good.
"I feel like I can learn from all of them, because they all have something different to take from," describes Hosley of his fellow UW point guards. "Venoy [Overton], he's a senior so he has experience. [Abdul] Gaddy, he's new but he's good, he's a smart player. Isaiah [Thomas], you know, he's just a student of the game."
While his veteran teammates have taken him under their wing (his roommate right now is Overton), Hosley's closest friend on the team is definitely Ross. They've known each other since sixth grade when they were both playing in the AAU circuit in Vancouver.
"He's cool," Hosley says of having his longtime friend up here with him at Washington. "I like to see him perform well because I know what he's capable of doing. Plus, off the court it's pretty cool having people you know."
Hosley doesn't seem upset or embarrassed by his walk-on role. He doesn't shy away from the fact that he is here to learn and get better before he can start getting more minutes. He talks about his role with a professional, confident tone.
"I just gotta work hard, don't think about anything else. All the time I've been playing basketball I've been in the game, or coming off the bench. This is new to me. I just work hard. Every day in practice, I just feel like in order to get back to normality, I have to earn my keep and earn my way and earn a scholarship. That's just what I do. Romar's a good dude, he made no promises to anybody. No matter who you are, if you aren't working hard you're not going to play."
There's no regret in his voice when he talks about choosing Washington over more playing time at another school. One reason is the proximity to home, which allows his family to come up and watch games.
"I like it. I like Seattle. I'm only a couple hours from home, so I can see my family."
Despite his humble attitude, make no mistake, Hosley did come to Washington to play basketball. When asked if he sees himself getting more playing time down the road, he replies:
"Yeah. I really do. I think I can earn my keep. I just gotta keep working at it and keep learning."

Pointless thread? Pointless thread. If you've got an issue, get a tissue and PM him about it or another staff member. Why post this if you know it will be locked/deleted?
Well, you're warned for flaming me. Don't know what brought this on.
What are you? 25? And you have to flame someone? Wow. Looks like you didn't grow up very well.
So... I'll keep searching for a place called home:
I'll rip my roots from this earth into the unknown.
Is it for the dreams I chased or the ones I caught?
This mystery, this misery is killing me.
So, now, I'll leave behind a murder scene.
My life isn't real; it's just a silhouette
and, when the sun goes down, I won't exist.

Wesley Chapel: Detective Tracks Down Dog's Owner
WESLEY CHAPEL, Fla. (AP) A Pasco County Sheriff's deputy helped reunite a dog with its owner after they became separated because of a car crash on Interstate 75.
David Boyer told The Tampa Tribune (http://bit.ly/1eGCVs2 ) the dog showed up in his driveway Thursday night. He called the number on its tag, but it went to voicemail.
Turns out, dog owner Jeff Deane had just been in a serious crash and was injured.
Boyer, part of the sheriff's missing persons unit, used his law enforcement data base to track down Deane's mother in Fort Myers.
Deane, an FSU student, remains in ICU in a hospital, with multiple injuries.
His mother says she's thrilled that Boyer found her son's beagle mix Gooseberry. The Boyer family has been taking care of the dog while Deane recovers.

I am observing a strange behavior on some of my Windows machines. I have a Server application that uses Java JRE 1.6u26 (Oracle) which is bundled within it. Sometimes a machine reboot causes the rt.jar file within the JRE to be deleted.
As a result, this corrupts the JVM and causes to the Server application to not startup (after the reboot).
This is really sporadic and pretty hard to reproduce.
Any help on how I could trace the issue?

Brad Mehldau: It Might As Well Be Sprng
It Might As Well Be Spring
Brad Mehldau (piano)
Introducing Brad Mehldau (Warner Bros 45997)
Brad Mehldau (piano), Larry Grenadier (bass), Jorge Rossy (drums).
Composed by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein.
Recorded: New York, March 13 and April 3, 1995
Rating: 88/100 (learn more)
In this debut trio recording, Mehldau stays in a straight-ahead groove. The later Art of the Trio recordings would take more chances, with their rhythmic pyrotechnics and the trademark left-versus-right-hand counterpoint that Mehldau does so well. But the trio swings with elegant drive on this Richard Rodgers' standard, and the pianist's improvised lines sparkle. Grenadier and Rossy support rather than challenge, and the whole performance stands out for its understated fluency. A promising debut with intimations of the riches to come.

The easiest sale
Whenever I ask retail salespeople what their most effective method of generating new business is, I always get the same answer — word of mouth advertising. All agree that there is no better salesman than a satisfied past customer. It perplexes me when I further inquire what types of campaigns they are using to cultivate an ongoing relationship with their "outside sales staff.bCrLf It seems that the universal answer is something to the effect of "nothing in particular.bCrLf The general tone is that, "if we do a good job, then they will come back.bCrLf
While it is true that some will return, when left entirely to chance, this outcome can be rather slow to develop. Research that I have studied indicates that the conversion rate for potential purchasers that were personally referred is in the 70 percent to 80 percent range. Stated another way, this is almost exactly double the close rate of the non-referred first time customers new to your showroom! It is no wonder we think that word of mouth is our most effective method of customer generation. What is a wonder is why so many salespeople leave this opportunity almost totally to chance.
Why is the close rate so much higher for customers who were sent our way? One of the largest challenges that we face, when selling large ticket items which customers buy infrequently, is building a degree of trust worthiness. This applies to individual staff members, as well as the business as a whole. A referral is a stamp of approval from a relative or friend who already possesses a high level of trust in both you and your firm. Why then do so many of us treat a referral as if it were some sort of surprise accident or happy gift?
Let's do some simple math. I will use very conservative numbers, rounded off to make my point. If you are only an average salesperson, according to industry statistics, last year you made 300 sales at an average of $1,200 per sale. This totals $360,000 in annual sales. Now let's assume that you can get each of these customers to send you just one solid referral annually. Let's also assume that you can achieve the referred to the average 80 percent close rate. Remember, you are now selling to customers who want to buy from you. This would yield another 240 sales annually. At the same $1,200 average ticket, you'll have an additional $288,000 in business. You will have nearly doubled your annual totals, and your income, without any significant money being spent on promotion. The only real investment is spending a few minutes each day promoting your career.
When you factor in the increased potential of learning to raise your average sale, you have now moved from a very average $30,000 per month producer to one who is consistently in the $60, 000 plus range. You have moved from "getting bybCrLf to "making a good living.bCrLf
Having accomplished this feat one year, the true professionals will not rest. They will repeat the process again the following year. When you convert these same percentages on your higher base of customers next year, you can begin to see how effective sales professionals can succeed far beyond the average sales clerk who doesn't make the effort to achieve all that is possible. I have observed many such pros who, after a few years of selling, don't have time to wait on walk-ins. They are too busy working on their personal trade — and its 80 percent conversion rate.
Work your customer lists. Stay in front of past contacts. Invest occasionally in useful small gifts and mailings that will build your business. Stay friends. Be interested. Check with past customers periodically to make sure that they are still satisfied with their purchase. There is no more productive way for you to invest your time as you make both your career, and your paycheck, all that it can be!

Helping special athletes 'feel and be their best'
Entering its 10th year, the Columbus Day Drive – an annual golf tournament benefiting local Special Olympics athletes – has raised $475,000.
Steven Walters, president and broker of Meridian Real Estate Group, has been at the helm as chairman since the tournament's inception. In previous years, participants have played the greens of Strawberry Farms in Irvine, Arroyo Trabuco in Mission Viejo and Talega golf course in San Clemente. This year the event will be held at Marbella Country Club in San Juan Capistrano.
Walters spoke to the Capistrano Valley News about his involvement and his hopes behind the charity tournament.
Q. What initially inspired you to begin this event?
A. I wanted to give back to my community and help truly special athletes feel and be their best.
Q. Why is this important to you?
A. The spirit of competition can be life changing, and the Special Olympics provides training and competition to all of its athletes at no charge.
Q. Do you have a favorite memory for your experience with the tournament?
A. There are too many great memories to single out one. I enjoy meeting new players each year, while building relationships with the athletes and their families over the years.
Q. What has been the biggest challenge?
A. Attracting sponsors is an ongoing challenge. We're fortunate this year to be sold out a month in advance.
Q. What are you most looking forward to at this year's event? Will there be anything different this year?
A. To mark our 10-year anniversary, we are having a sit-down, plated dinner versus our standard buffet-style meal. We'll also have live entertainment for the first time.

Widow, ex-soldier move for final judgment on $134M suit against Omar Khadr
TORONTO – The widow of an American special forces soldier killed in Afghanistan and another soldier partially blinded by a hand grenade have moved to finalize a default civil-suit judgment against former Guantanamo Bay prisoner Omar Khadr.
Court documents filed in Utah April 24, the day an Alberta court granted Khadr bail, show the plaintiffs are asking the courts to award them triple damages for a total of US$134.1 million.
Lawyer Laura Tanner, who represents Tabitha Speer and Layne Morris, said in an interview she would be filing a final order for the federal judge to review and sign within days.
Once that happens – final word on damages would be up to the judge – the families can move to have the judgment enforced against Khadr, 28, in a Canadian court.
Top court hears refugee case of diplomat deemed complicit in war crimes
By Natalie Stechyson, Postmedia News January 16, 2013
OTTAWA — The Supreme Court of Canada will hear a case Thursday that grapples with how to determine just who is culpable for war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Rachidi Ekanza Ezokola, a former high-level diplomat with the Democratic Republic of Congo, was originally denied refugee status after he fled to Montreal with his family because he was found to be complicit by association with the crimes committed by the war-torn African country.

TORONTO — A decade after 15-year-old Omar Khadr was pulled near death from the rubble of a bombed-out compound in Afghanistan, the Canadian citizen set foot on Canadian soil early Saturday following an American military flight from the notorious prison in Guantanamo Bay.
Khadr was immediately whisked off to a maximum-security facility in eastern Ontario following the five-hour flight to CFB Trenton, Ont.
"He's finding it hard to believe that this has finally happened," John Norris, one of Khadr's lawyers, told The Canadian Press just after speaking to his client by phone.
"His spirits are good. He is very, very happy to be home."
Canada declares bogus Turkish refugee a war criminal
Turkish refugee
August 24, 2012
By: Steffan Ileman
It's hard for any refugee claimant, nowadays, to convince Canada's Immigration & Refugee Board (IRB) that he or she is a real refugee since most claims are rejected offhand as lacking credibility. This claimant's problem isn't that the Board didn't believe him. His problem is that the IRB was only too willing to believe everything he said about the story allegedly created by a member of a terrorist organisation, and his claim was rejected for the wrong reasons.
Like many "economic refugees" that Canada just loathes GY thought his only option to remain in Canada was to apply for refugee status after he dumped his Canadian wife. His father HY, who's a naturalised Canadian citizen and drives a late model BMW, says this is a stupid kid that just doesn't listen to advice from his elders. Although he lacks any formal education and hardly speaks any English, HY has successfully helped many inhabitants of his village in the old country settle in Canada. Judging by his car and brand-new SUV, he knows more about business and the system than the millions of university-educated immigrants that are barely scraping a living in this country.

When three-time Olympian and Park City resident Tracy Evans went on a volunteer trip to Malawi in 2008 at the behest of her mother, her eyes were opened to how much gender inequality there was in other parts of the world.
For Evans, who is a former U.S. national champion in freestyle skiing, using her sports background to make a difference was a no-brainer. So she founded Kids Play International, a nonprofit organization that provides "sport-for-development programs to promote gender equity in communities impacted by genocide."
"As an Olympian, I wanted to do something that would allow me to use sports to give back," Evans said. "I saw firsthand how much kids can learn through sports."
At the moment, Evans has recruited 10 other Olympic athletes, including Park City aerialist and 2014 Olympic hopeful Emily Cook, to help raise money for a multi-sport field in the Rwandan village of Gatagara.
Evans said the current field the children of Gatagara and surrounding communities are using is dangerous in more ways than one.
"Some of the kids are walking 30 to 40 minutes to get to the field," she said. "We want to build a field that's much more centralized so kids are only walking 10 to 15 minutes and can get home safely before dark."
"There are goats grazing around and eating the grass," Cook added.
But that hasn't stopped the kids' enthusiasm for sports.
"The second we showed up with sports equipment, the amount of kids that showed up was amazing," Cook said.
With coaches stationed in the area year-round teaching fundamentals and equality through KPI's Let's Play Fair iniative, Cook said the program's sustainability is what drew her interest.
"The way the program works is that it's sustainable without me and the other Olympic athletes," she said. "Our opportunity to go work with coaches who are already there is what makes it special."
Plus, Evans added, it's an opportunity to instill Olympic values into areas where gender inequality has always been the norm.
"What's cool is the core Olympic values are what Kids Play aligns itself with," she said. "Excellence giving your best when no one is looking, friendship, fair play and gender equality in both boys and girls there are a lot of great things going on. We're serving more than 120 children with hundreds of hours of sports-based programming throughout the year. And on Sundays, we host entire community events."
Though the new field is still in the fundraising stage, Cook is encouraged by the great response from the sports programs already in place.
"Seeing the joy on their faces while they were participating in these activities was amazing," she said.
The new field will cost approximately $10,000 to build, so Evans has encouraged the 10 Olympic athletes involved in the program to each raise $1,000. To donate to the Kids Play International cause, visit crowdrise.com/fieldofopportunity.
Evans, who is currently in Cambodia scouting areas for another Kids Play initiative, said she hopes the program keeps expanding.
"We basically take a one-village-at-a-time approach," she said.
For Cook, though training for the Sochi Olympics is her current focus, more volunteer trips are definitely in her future plans.
"I'm definitely committed to going back and staying connected," she said. "This is a lifelong project. I hope to stay involved in the future."

Let's do this to look like the spelling
While trying to translate some French sentences from 1757, I noticed that Google Translate had added Turkish to its répertoire. So, I decided to run some tests.
Türkçeyi İngilizceye Google kullanarak tercüme edebilirsiniz (You can translate Turkish into English using Google) was translated as: Turkish to English can be translated using Google. Not bad. But, the simple Yağmur bitince güneş açtı (The sun came out after the rain ended) became the completely unintelligible Rain, the sun was over. On the other hand, Dün geceden beri yağmur yağıyor (It's been raining since last night) became the acceptable It is raining since last night.
Complex sentences don't seem to have any chance, though. Google Translate turned Kedinin üzerine geldiğini gören fare duvardaki deliğe girdi (The mouse, when it saw the cat coming towards it, went into the hole in the wall) into another incomprehensible sentence: Cats are coming on top of that went into the mouse hole in the wall.
The title of this post is supposed to be the translation of Bakalım bu yazımı beğenecek misiniz (Let's see if you will like this writing of mine). Surprisingly, however, Bakalım sikimi beğenecek misiniz (Let's see if you will like my penis) returns Let's see you are gonna like my dick. Now we know what kind of sentences Google is good at translating.
Another short, but typically convoluted Turkish sentence Türkçe öğretemediklerimizden misiniz? (Are you one of those to whom we couldn't teach Turkish?) turns into the pathetic Turkish are taught? Obviously, Google Translate is one of those.

Jennifer Garner 'Furious' Ben Affleck Keeps In Touch With Jennifer Lopez?
Jennifer Garner flew into a "jealous rage" after Ben Affleck revealed in an interview that he still keeps in touch with his ex-fiancée, Jennifer Lopez, reports the National Enquirer. The supermarket tabloid claims Garner was "furious that he'd gushed over her love rival."
"Love rival"? Affleck and Lopez dated nearly a decade ago, and have both since married and had children with other people!
Anyway, a so-called "source" for the magazine alleges, "After Jen read Ben's glowing comments about Jennifer, she hit the roof." The purported "insider" adds, "She screamed at him that he'd made her look like a fool." "Jen's always felt threatened by Ben's passionate relationship with J.Lo. So hearing him rave about her really struck a nerve," explains the source.
Garner was supposedly so insecure about her husband's friendship with Lopez that she "secretly arranged" for her mother to babysit the couple's three kids so she could join him on his Paris trip to promote Argo. The source claims, "Ben thought he was heading to Paris solo until he saw Jen's bags at the door."
Seriously? No. None of this ever happened. Garner was already fully aware that Affleck and Lopez keep in touch, long before he mentioned it in the interview. There's no actual drama here, even though the tabloids wish there were. A source close to the situation calls the Enquirer story "a joke."

Enhanced suicidal death of erythrocytes from gene-targeted mice lacking the Cl-/HCO(3)(-) exchanger AE1. American Journal of Physiology. Cell Physiology, 292(5):C1759-C1767.
View at publisher
Genetic defects of anion exchanger 1 (AE1) may lead to spherocytic erythrocyte morphology, severe hemolytic anemia, and/or cation leak. In normal erythrocytes, osmotic shock, Cl(-) removal, and energy depletion activate Ca(2+)-permeable cation channels with Ca(2+)-induced suicidal erythrocyte death, i.e., surface exposure of phosphatidylserine, cell shrinkage, and membrane blebbing, all features typical for apoptosis of nucleated cells. The present experiments explored whether AE1 deficiency favors suicidal erythrocyte death. Peripheral blood erythrocyte numbers were significantly smaller in gene-targeted mice lacking AE1 (AE1(-/-) mice) than in their wild-type littermates (AE1(+/+) mice) despite increased percentages of reticulocytes (AE1(-/-): 49%, AE1(+/+): 2%), an indicator of enhanced erythropoiesis. Annexin binding, reflecting phosphatidylserine exposure, was significantly larger in AE1(-/-)erythrocytes/reticulocytes (approximately 10%) than in AE1(+/+) erythrocytes (approximately 1%). Osmotic shock (addition of 400 mM sucrose), Cl(-) removal (replacement with gluconate), or energy depletion (removal of glucose) led to significantly stronger annexin binding in AE1(-/-) erythrocytes/reticulocytes than in AE1(+/+) erythrocytes. The increase of annexin binding following exposure to the Ca(2+) ionophore ionomycin (1 muM) was, however, similar in AE1(-/-) and in AE1(+/+) erythrocytes. Fluo3 fluorescence revealed markedly increased cytosolic Ca(2+) permeability in AE1(-/-) erythrocytes/reticulocytes. Clearance of carboxyfluorescein diacetate succinimidyl ester-labeled erythrocytes/reticulocytes from circulating blood was more rapid in AE1(-/-) mice than in AE1(+/+) mice and was accelerated by ionomycin treatment in both genotypes. In conclusion, lack of AE1 is associated with enhanced Ca(2+) entry and subsequent scrambling of cell membrane phospholipids.

The greatest chance for recovery from stroke occurs when emergency treatment is started immediately.
Stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is disrupted. Disruption in blood flow is caused when either a blood clot blocks one of the vital blood vessels in the brain (ischemic stroke), or when a blood vessel in the brain bursts, spilling blood into surrounding tissues (hemorrhagic stroke

Boris Yeltsin (February 1, 1931 – April 23, 2007) was, from 1991 to 1999, the first president of the Russian Federation. Those who want more information about him and his background should check out Wikipedia. I'm focusing on the lesson in game production I recently picked from his actions.
In a past television news I happened to see (I say happened, because I usually avoid the news because of all the negativity) them showing a short video clip about Yeltsin and explaining that he had one major attribute, that made him stand out from many other presidents. Yeltsin was said to have publicly apologized from the people when he made mistakes. I think that's an excellent lesson that any producer, leader, worker, or member in the team can use.
Let's face it, everybody makes mistakes. I remember somebody saying something like: "If you are not making any mistakes, it's unlikely that you are doing anything at all." Mistakes and temporal failures are okay. (And for the record: I say temporal, because failures in reality are the stepping stones to success). Everybody makes mistakes, but not everybody is willing to admit when they've made one.
I appreciate people who are willing to 'swallow their pride' and apologize if needed. I'm not saying that everybody in the team should start saying "sorry, sorry, sorry" all time of the day. I'm simply pointing out that it's not needed to be right all the time. It's okay to swell your pride and admit if you've made a mistake.
When you take this kind of attitude in game production (or basically into any team work) you'll notice couple of amazing things to happen. First thing is that it will become easier to deal with others. Getting from situation where nobody is taking responsibility and admitting if they've made mistakes to a situation where people are taking responsibility is simply amazing. It makes easier to discuss with others. This is one ingredient in creating a workplace where people stop hunting the one who caused the problem, and focus on solving the problem. If the team leader is being able to openly admit when he was wrong, the others will appreciate him more. Just compare this kind of behavior to the situation where the leader (or your boss) refuses to take any responsibility for any problems (since they were caused by somebody else, but never the leader). Does that make you appreciate your boss if he is not taking responsibility for his work?
A former Russian president got more appreciation from people due this simple action (admitting mistakes) and so can you.

Deer harvest records are extremely important to proper deer herd management. Brcause deer are difficult to observe and cannot be handled regularly like livestock, records are one of the few means available to determine deer herd health, nutrition levels, trends and adequacy of the harvest. The minimum data to collect from deer harvests are: ages, weights, body conditions and measurements of antler size. the data should be grouped according to age categories and analyzed separately for bucks and does. Theis publication describes types of calculations to make and analysis of the results for making management decisions.
Why Harest Records Are Important
Record keeping is basic to good ranch management. Many ranchers keep livestock records such as weaning weights, claving rates, percent lamb crop, percent kid crop and ages of animals. This information is used to make decisions about which animals to sell and to evaluate the effects of previous management decsions (such as: Was I overstocked? Did I begin feeding at the right time?). Records are equally important in deer (Odocoileus sp.) management programs. Deer harvest records can be used to evaluate what is occurring in the deer herd and the success of previous deer management decisions. Harvest records can provide valuaable information to answer the following four major questions about deer herd management:
1. Is the level of nutrition adequate for my deer herd or do I need to reduce deer numbers?
2. Am I harvesting too many bucks to maintain old enough deer in the herd to produce the quality I want?
3. Is my deer herd improving, remaining the samed or declining?
4. If I have problems with deer quality, what are some of the likely causes?

Jay Miller Wine Advocate 90+ Points
Lastly, the 2006 The Footbolt Shiraz (which contains a bit of Grenache) offers fragrant aromas of wood smoke, game, and blueberry. Layered and balanced, it will evolve for several years and drink well through 2017.
Wine Spectator 89 Points
Firm, with an intriguing overtone of violet to the dark berry and cherry fruit. There's a layer of grippy tannins, but the fruit wins out on the finish. Best from 2010 through 2014. 12,000 cases imported.–HS
International Wine Cellar 90 Points
Inky ruby. Powerfully scented aromas of high-pitched red berries, cherry and minerals. Deep black raspberry and candied blueberry flavors coat the palate and are given support by fine-grained tannins. Finishes silky, sweet and long, with very good clarity and cut.

To me, the fact that the U.S. (and other countries) doesn't celebrate it is a plus. It's a holiday that hasn't been hijacked by the greeting card companies. It's a holiday in which, if you choose to celebrate it, shows the women in your life that you were thinking about them on a day you didn't "have" to be.
In thinking along the lines of celebrating an unofficial special day, I encourage you all to surprise your wife on March 8th with something special. Take the opportunity to give your wife an unexpected gift at an unexpected time to show her that your love is an "international" kind of love.
Need A Gift Idea?
I was recently contacted by a woman who works with Bead For Life, an organization which enrolls Ugandan women in an 18-month program where they work rolling recycled paper beads to make jewelry to be sold around the world. With the income the women make, they are taught to open bank accounts and save, and are trained to translate their passions into small business which can hopefully help support them throughout their lives.
I have heard about this organization before, and I think what they do is wonderful. I also think that buying some of the jewelry they make for your wife would make a wonderful gift. Not only will you be surprising the woman in your life with a beautiful piece of unique jewelry, but by purchasing this gift you will be benefiting women in need in Uganda. The jewelry will not only be a nice gesture, but it will be a meaningful one.
Check out more about Bead For Life on their website here, or go straight to the store here.
No matter how big you choose to make it, make sure you wish your wife a happy Women's Day. Remind her just how thankful you are she is in your life.

Planning a European holiday takes time and luck. Especially if spa access is a priority.
Finding the combination of fitness, fun, and history on a budget isn't easy. Especially now at peak season. While major brands such as Hilton, Sheraton, and Westin offer lots of options, what's available mid-price?
Today's crowded hotel scene is dominated by eponymous branding. But one brand stands out for quality services: Marriott.
My recent trip to Munich, Germany, illustrates this point.
First, the flight. Instead of heading into a crowded international terminal, smaller Munich offers non-stop service with minimal requirement for formalities. Sure there are problems like the use of bus transport between plane and terminal. But unless your transfer time is tight, that's made up for by short lines to stamp passports. Then pick up your luggage and go.
The signs for bus departure directed me into a long corridor where some sort of ticket sales desk was expected. Nothing. So onto a loading area where multiple bus lines departed. Which one was the Lufthansa City Bus? After searching, I asked an airport employee who happened to pass by. "Over there," he said, pointing me to a single station apart from the other bus stops. How was I to know?
Look again; small signs were attached to each stop. But this being oh-so-perfect Germany, the City Bus had none. And no bus was in sight. Finally, after about 10 minutes, one showed up. The driver took my luggage and handed me a bottle of cold water. That was the nicest greeting.
Next, my destination. There are several Marriott hotels in the city. Mine was at the first stop approaching the city.Again the driver extended a small curtesy by pulling up to a pathway where I could walk to the hotel. The area was green, quiet and free of traffic. Not at all what I expected. But there it was: The Marriott Munchen.
Lesson #1: Location. Being outside a city's historic center, hotels and corporate towers often mix with residential developments. Check for transport to city center.
Lesson #2: Transport Downtown. Thanks to a convenient underground transport system, my excursions were easy to plan. A single-day or three-day ticket sold at the hotel needed to be stamped once, at the trip's beginning.
As the Bavarian capital, Munich grew in stately style. The area around Odeonplatz has numerous attractions, including the Residenz of the royal family, and the Bavarian State Opera, where I was fortunate to attend a performance. Then back home a few stops, exiting where I could see the Marriott sign.
Lesson #3: Size. Built for meetings, this Marriott had 347 rooms and suites but only six floors. The glass-walled lobby connects a restaurant and Champions sports bar with an outdoor beer garden. My visit coincided with world soccer championships, so video sets were added in the lobby bar, creating a lively, noisy, scene.
Spas and health clubs come in many sizes, but I was not prepared for the complete facilities at Munchen Marriott. In addition to treatment rooms there was a swimming pool and fitness center. Just what I needed to recuperate from jet lag. An hour-long massage relaxed me for the evening.
Hosting this daily scene is a Washingtonian, Erich Zuri, whose mix of business and pleasure makes Munich a delightful visit. On a short drive through the Schwabbing area we saw vast parkland dotted with swimming pools. Homes in this highly desirable area are small, tightly controlled. We found an old beer garden serving Sunday dinner, an appropriate ending for my visit.
Next: Therme hot springs

What is the best colors for logo of a IT/Web Dev company? I have created sample.
closed as too localized by Scott, DA01, JohnB♦ May 26 '13 at 17:47
This question is unlikely to help any future visitors; it is only relevant to a small geographic area, a specific moment in time, or an extraordinarily narrow situation that is not generally applicable to the worldwide audience of the internet. For help making this question more broadly applicable, visit the help center.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
I think this is completely off-topic and generally unanswerable. And I voted to close this.
However, "which looks better" should rarely be a factor in coloring a logotype. The more appropriate question would be "which convey's our message better?"
Colors have meaning. In general, color choice for any logo isn't an accident or an arbitrary choice. Using a specific color or color palette can completely alter the public perception of any company.
Think about your color options you've posted....
Red / Yellow / Orange part of the color wheel. What do you associate with those colors? What logotypes use relatively the same color palette? Fast food. Every fast food chain in America is based on the red / yellow / orange palette. Why? Because those color promote desire, speed, emergency, energy, and cheerful or anxious feelings. The restaurants want you to feel good about going there and they want you to think it'll be a fast, pleasurable, experience. They want you to get in and leave, so they use a palette which promotes a sense of urgency on your part.
Blue areas of the color wheel... What businesses or services use blue as a basis for their palette? What logos do you see in blue? Primarily, emergency services - police, EMT services, hospitals, banks, and other financial institutions to some degree. Blue promotes a sense of security, help, assistance, stability, reliability, knowledge, power. These companies and services want you to think they are trustworthy and professional so they use a palette which promotes these feeling.
You need to determine where you want your company to stand in terms of public perception not simply "what looks better." Design, believe it or not, is not always about what looks better. There's a purpose to it and thought behind it. A good designer understands the choices they make.
Red / orange may be entirely appropriate if you want to convey a sense of emergency primarily. Where blue may be better if you want to convey a sense of trust over speed.
As for your question... you may as well ask, "Should I take Wednesday off or Thursday?" Everyone here will simply be guessing because we don't know your specific needs or desires.
I like the blue one personally. Maybe a blue with more grey in it even. Blue seems to be a techy color that a lot of comapanies are going with these days.

Vt. Tax Dept. notes homestead declaration changeFebruary 01,2013MONTPELIER The Vermont Department of Taxes is reminding residents that theres a change in the tax law regarding homestead declarations.
In the past, property owners had to file the declaration whenever there was a change in ownership or status of the property.
But starting this year, property owners must file such declarations annually by tax day, April 15.
Property in Vermont is considered nonresidential until it is claimed as the owners homestead.
A property owner must file a homestead declaration if the owner owns and occupies the property as his or her primary residence and is domiciled in Vermont.
Tax Commissioner Mary Peterson says filling the declaration is critical to paying the correct amount of tax.MORE IN Vermont News

Klehe, U C; König, C J; Richter, G M; Kleinmann, Martin; Melchers, K G (2008). Transparency in structured interviews: Consequences for construct and criterion related validity. Human Performance, 21(2):107-137.
Full text not available from this repository.

Although researchers agree on the use of structured interviews in personnel selection, past research has been undecided on whether these interviews need to be conducted nontransparently (i.e., without giving interviewees any indication of the evaluated criteria) or transparently (i.e., by revealing to interviewees the dimensions assessed in the interview). This article presents two independent studies examining the effects of interview transparency on interviewees' performance and on the interview's construct and criterion-related validity in the context of an application training program. Results from both Study 1 (N = 123) and Study 2 (N = 269) indicate an improvement in interviewees' performance under transparent interview conditions. Both studies further support the assumption that transparent interviews show satisfactory construct validity, whereas nontransparent interviews do not. Moreover, Study 2 showed no significant difference between the interview's criterion-related validity under transparent versus nontransparent conditions. Implications and directions for future research are discussed.

A boost for State Sen. Marlin Stutzman Thursday. The Senate Conservatives Fund (SCF), chaired by U.S. Senator Jim DeMint (R-South Carolina) announced that it raised over $200,000 for Stutzman's campaign for the U.S. Senate in Indiana.
Stutzman is up against Dan Coats and several other contenders for a shot on the November ballot. Until yesterday, Stutzman was the only candidate who had already filed his financial disclosure form, although Coats submitted the paperwork Wednesday.
