Nice C++ guide by Google
I wanted to refer to this nice guide by google.
It is really useful, and full of best practices.
Google graph your functions f(x)
I just figured out something I absolutely want to share in order to increase my G.R.* Google graph your functions. A function is a mathematical entity/concept. Check the wikipedia page. Here is one result with trigonometric functions: A fast reduced idea about code Continue reading »
My very best OSX tools and apps
You already know I'm a computer science background guy/geek.
I always worked with Windows & Linux/Unix.
This was more an habit than a real decision.
Developing C++, HTML or other Max patch, I would have been well on any platform, considering those stuff almost platform-independant.
I mean: coding C++ in Visual Studio, Eclipse or XCode on OSX is everytime coding C++
But I needed :
– HUGE battery autonomy
– Massive RAM amount
– a platform to develop iOS stuff
The last item drives me to OSX/MacBook Pro, obviously, but the first item too.
You can check this old post about me, just before the big jump.
During those 2 months with OSX, I grabbed some necessary apps, and I wanted, today, share them with you.
You can comment and add some apps too, it would be a pleasure to make that list growing.
Here is the list :
Real friendly URL tips
This is my tip for you.
I created 3 pages on google+ these days, AS SOON AS it has been available.
My artist page as protofuse has a nice url:
My music label's page as bitsquare records has a nice url:
and the page of Design the Media is:
What ugly URL.
Google WILL support custom names.
But in the meantime, let's do that:
1) Create a subdomain of your websites with a cute name (gplus is very ok)
2) Create an .htaccess file in the root folder and remove ALL the other files.
3) Edit your .htaccess like that:
RedirectPermanent / https://<your URL>
where <your URL> is the one you have copied/pasted from your url bar in your browser when you are on your page:
In the case of Design the Media :
RedirectPermanent / https://plus.google.com/b/108105786459542031618/108105786459542031618/about
Spread this. Aesthetic URL are so nice.

My Google+ report after 2 weeks
I always liked Google.
A lot of people still have completely uninteresting debate about privacy of Google/Search Engines/Privacy of requests etc … on their wall on Facebook, which is very funny considering the Facebook's data privacy statements.
We ARE tracked, logged.
It is a fact.
But it begins with our credit card, guys.
You can live without one, as you can live without social network, and deeper by the whole humanity.
So please, don't complaint more about that on social networks!!! It was funny, it is annoying, now
So, I'm on Gmail since the beginning, where the beta circles (circle!) were still very closed.
I have been invited by a friend and obviously, I liked it a lot directly.
One of the most important stuff was the cloud vision they already had at this time: you don't need your heavy computer, with your unsafe filesystem & your Thunderbird or, worst, Outlook Client, you don't have to suck your bandwidth importing your pictures, emails etc… You just go, sign in, read your emails, answer, share and chat with gtalk and you can do that using HTTPS (it means TSL, it means you are safe) even in a cyber-café everywhere. Cellular are the most interesting entry point, btw.
Again, we read a lot of debates about the fact THOSE bad guys would read OUR emails, dissecting our lifes, stealing our codes & phones numbers.
You know what? Those insane debates still happens! And you know what (²) ? Some guys on Facebook debates there (on Facebook website I mean) about that.
I have been invited by my friend Drew Meyer on Google+ at the VERY beginning, on july the 1st.
I tested it a lot since 2 weeks!
And I have to write the first 2 weeks report, I LIKE it a lot.
Actually, Google+ is:
– your profile (mine)
– the stream (where you read & post messages)
– the sparks (where you can search something and have a list of results very specific depending of what you post, what your friends post etc)
– the hangout (basically, a video chat up to 10 persons at the same time)
– the circles (you create circles, put people inside with organization purpose)
Google+frees YOUR data
Of course they couldn't follow another way.
But it is clean!
You can download all your data very easily and it works!
Google+ is minimalistic
I'm very sensitive to aesthetic of things.
A so minimalistic page as Google did is very nice because it is very relaxing for eyes.
And we really need that. We are everytime attacked by a lot of informations, images, pictures, photos, sounds, etc.
I found the Google+ page very quiet & zen.
Google+ can replace my Twitter
One of the first important thing about Google+ is the fact there is no need to create friendships.
You follow someone, put him/her in one of your circle, and after that, you can see each posts he/she makes (considering he/she decided to post for public or … we'll see that later)
You want to follow me, ok. I don't have to say yes or no. But I can restrict my post to my circles and if you aren't in one of them, you'll never see anything from me… interesting no?
You, We, posters are the masters of our destiny!
It means it reminds me Twitter, but only with the non bi-directionnal behaviour… only that because 140 characters suck!
You can follow someone, but if this one doesn't follow you, it doesn't matter.
Btw, he'll know you have began to follow him/her.
The circles mechanism is VERY nice and powerful and privacy-friendly!
Here is a little schematic.
Basically, when you post, you are constrained (!) to know the destination of your post!
This is amazing, where Facebook hid that, Google+ raised it as a must, a necessary parameter without which you basically CANNOT post.
– You can post for single persons on Google+ or even not on it by typing their email.
– You can post for specific circles or only one which means for ALL contacts in those circles.
– You can post for extended circles which means to ALL circles of your circled contact.
– You can post for public, which means for everyone on Google+
Of course you can combine all. For instance, for this person, this circle.
Noone can know if you added him/her into which circles. All circles are up to you.
You can make a circle for your worst contacts too!
A lot of people, and me, already asked for dynamic circles which would be great!
I'd NEED to have for instance a circle with all the 50 last persons who have began to follow me, or the 20 persons with which I didn't have any shares since the last 2 weeks etc.
We'll see.
Some people posted a lot of ideas and I like this kidding
Google+ makes the circle porosity a nice way to meet new friends
You begin to follow someone, this one is notified (if he wants to be notified, of course).
But while he doesn't add you to one of his/her circle, he'll never see any posts from you!
It is wrong!
He/she can see them… in a little hole between circled friends & non-circled friends: the Incoming page.
Let's summarize: I add you, you don't know me, you're suspicious, I post, you are not annoyed by my post on your stream … BUT you can see what I'm posting on another page named Incoming.
I can now check a bit what you posted before to add you.
Facebook created lists, but it doesn't work like circle, check that.
Google+ can replace my blog
With all what I said about circles and privacy about posting, I guess I could use it as my official blog.
My "premium" circles would see specific posts, but basic visitors would only read the common mainstream posts.
I'm very curious about how Google will integrate Google with Blogger/Blogspot
I guess my blog would have to be on Blogger/Blogspot before to be directly inside Google+
Google+ teaches you the subtle art of mute
You read a nice post from a SO famous/verbose person.
You comment.
1234 persons comment after you… you receive a bunch of notification and more, the post moves up on your stream… you have enough…
Click on "Mute this post"
It is the best tool ever!
You can comment, let a little lead/idea/email/name and just after click on "Mute this post"
You have participated, people can see you, but you are not annoyed!
A lot of other ideas could be written here
Google+ integrates Picasa (and kill Flickr)
This is done.
Flickr is a HUGE machine working so fine.
I have an account since 8 years you know!
I grabbed all and putted ALL in Picasa.
It is cheaper, it is integrated with the whole google ecosystem, it is easy and I can even modify the photo without my hard & heavy toolsuite from Adobe which I own and use btw.
You can tag, comments, shares with some circles (again them)
It is just easy.
You share the same disk space with all other services if you have bought a space at google as I did (20G for very few bucks)
About those annoying change resistive people who yell Google+ copied Facebook
Obviously, it talks about people, list, email, share, pictures, links.
So why didn't you say my website has copied Facebook too? There are people reading it, commenting it, there are some pictures, links etc.
Stupid remark.
Btw, Google+ could have copied, they are conccurent no? But I think they had really built the idea from the ground up.
No Wall concept on Google+
Indeed, There is no real wall because your stream is what you decide it is AND people cannot see your … stream.
No, you cannot say you're not the master of what you post & what you see!
I guess FB still is the biggest (750M >> 10M) but it is a matter of time.
Google+ evolves to a nice stuff already. Some features are added each days.
Ergonomy is centered on us, users and not (yet) on ads.
I'm not candid (I'm trying to be the most but) I know they use our link/traffic profiling etc… But they'll do it nicely and I'm not annoyed by their "job behind the curtains"
Facebook website isn't built like that, and I was always annoyed by that.
Ergonomy isn't deeply and nicely made.
I'm happy because we have now the choice.
I guess we're still some privilegied people to have access to google+
I can still invite (send me your email at email@example.com & I'll help you by inviting you)
They decided to open the door end of july I read.
I think we cannot see Facebook as evil & Google as angel
Indeed, they'll probably put some ads and we don't know anything about:
-business/artist/organization pages-like part
– API (will it be VERY open which could be nice BUT which could offer to those bastardos from farmville to produce annoying games for monetization which would SPAMMMM our streams)
– Blogger/Blogspot integration
– Gmail integration
By the way, I LOVE GOOGLE!

Roche's Ventana Medical Systems co-exclusively sublicensed IP from Gen-Probe granting the firm in vitro diagnostic rights relating to the immunohistochemical measurement of ERG protein expression in prostate tissue. Ventana says the licensed IP complements its existing co-exclusive sublicense to IP covering in situ hybridization measurements of ETS gene rearrangements (including ERG gene rearrangements) in tissue.
Ventana specializes in the development and manufacture of instruments and reagents for automating tissue processing and slide staining in cancer diagnostics. The firm's ERG assays for its BenchMark line of automated instrumentation include a global ERG IVD test for measuring ERG via immunohistochemical staining and a CE-marked IVD assay for measuring ERG gene rearrangements using Quantum Dot (FISH). Multivariate assays for novel clinical assays are also in development.
"We believe ERG testing by IHC and ISH will play an important role in novel diagnostic, prognostic, and predictive tests for prostate cancer," comments Mara G. Aspinall, Ventana president. "This license gives us a unique position for this important biomarker as we see the opportunity to incorporate the ERG marker into Ventana assays."

Carolina North zoning push fuels progress
Energy efficiency goal of new system for buildings
Warner to help launch new center
(919) 962-7124
The Gazette staff is always looking for ideas for
interesting feature stories.
Do you have one to share?
University Gazette
Mike Smith, left, dean of the School of Government and vice
chancellor for engagement, talks about outreach and service with UNC President Emeritus William
Friday on Jan. 8.
Mike Smith set about the task before him with a
characteristic humility bordering on self-deprecation.
Only this time, Smith, dean of the School of Government and
vice chancellor for engagement since last November, had ample reason to feel
He was in the William and Ida Friday Center for Continuing
Education on Jan. 8, before an audience of some 90 faculty members, and he was
sitting across from Bill Friday, the iconic figure for whom the building was
The audience was there to hear an interview between the two
men, which in itself was not unusual. Since retiring as president of the UNC
system two decades before, Friday had conducted countless interviews with the
state's movers and shakers as host of the WUNC talk show, "North Carolina
Except this time, Friday was the one answering the questions
— and Smith doing some of the asking.
The name Bill Friday, after all, was tied to more than a
building. The name, and the man, had become the living embodiment of the ideal,
the creed, the ethos the two men were to discuss: public service, which is now
increasingly referred to as "engagement."
"This is fairly
daunting for me for reasons that are obvious to everyone in the room," Smith
But he was quickly put at ease by Friday who said, "I've got
the gray hair."
Friday then asked for a show of hands in the audience for
anybody who had worked for the University for 50 years or more. "Is there
anybody left but me?" he asked. When no hands shot up, he added, "Well, that
doesn't give me license."
The 86-year-old Friday, who was raised in Dallas, N.C.,
served as the first president of the UNC system from 1956 to 1986. Before
leading the UNC system, Friday was Carolina's assistant dean of students from
1948 to 1951, then President an assistant to Carolina President Gordon Gray
from 1951 to 1955. He later served as acting president of Carolina until he was
chosen as UNC president.
Friday launched into a remembrance of the University he
found in 1946 after serving in World War II. The mission of public outreach and
engagement to the state began long before that, Friday said, but this was a
period when it may have come closest to full bloom.
The campus of 1946 was full of whirlwinds such as Albert
Coates, the founder of the Institute of Government, that would evolve into the
School of Government. Back then, Friday said, Coates was "running all over the
state telling public officials what their jobs were," from county commissioners
to judges, to finally, the General Assembly itself.
(Established in 1931, the institute became the largest
university-based local government training and consulting organization in the
nation. Smith took the institute's helm from 1992 to 2001 after being a
professor of public law and government there for 14 years. Smith became dean of
the School of Government when the University created it in 2001.)
Friday said another historic figure he ran into in the late
1940s was Howard Odum, the renowned sociologist who had arrived in Chapel Hill
in 1920 to direct the School of Public Welfare and Department of Sociology. In
1944, Odum was one of the five founding members of the Southern Regional
Through leaders such as Odum and Coates, UNC-Chapel Hill was
identifying a new practice of outreach and service that was new and foreign to
the way of thinking of many faculty members, Friday said. At the time, only two
other universities in the country, the University of Wisconsin at Madison and
the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, were trying it.
The idea behind it was to make a difference in the quality
of life of the state through direct involvement. One notable example of it here
was the creation of the North Carolina Area Health Education Centers Program in
1972. The need for such a system was documented in a report from the Carnegie
Commission, which recommended the development of a nationwide system of such
The idea for such centers sprang from a health-care
conference Friday attended on a rainy Saturday afternoon in the early 1960s at
Spelman College in Atlanta. Every time he hears a plane take off from Horace
Williams Airport, he said, he is reminded of how universities can be do things
that truly can make a difference in the country, Friday said.
Jim Hunt, at the end of his second term during his final
stint as governor in the late 1990s, became restless and worried that the state
seemed not to have a sense of direction of where it was going or a strategy to
attack the multitude of problems facing it.
Hunt eased his unrest by putting together a study commission
that included some 60 University faculty members who looked at every aspect of
this state that was appropriate to investigate, Friday said.
The result was the most definitive piece of work of
self-examination that any state has done before or since.
Many of these same problems that were identified persist and
still must be addressed — from air pollution in the Triangle and Charlotte to
future water shortages caused by population growth to surging student populations
in fast-growing Wake County and elsewhere. Friday said someone also needed to
tell the state legislature to look at the tax structure in the state that does
not yield sufficient revenues to address these problems.
"You gather (here today) at a very real and powerful moment
for the state itself," Friday said. "I'm old enough to say that the problems
are not going to get solved unless you look at them, unless you speak to them,
unless you look at the options."
The asset that the University holds, in addition to its
breadth of knowledge, is the depth of feeling that the people of the state
harbor for the institution.
People come to him and ask, "How is my hospital?" he said.
"The affinity is real. It's the chemistry you have, the
humanity in it that is at least 150 years old."
Smith asked Friday to talk about the direction that two of
our national peers, the universities of Virginia and Michigan, seem now to be
taking away from their legacy as public institutions.
"I think they made a serious mistake," Friday said, and a
reckless way to deal with the future.
It is a mistake Friday does not see happening here.
"I believe when they wrote the constitution of this state —
'free as practicable' — the state was ensuring for itself an educated
population that could carry forward the business of government, of business, of
"If you lose sight of that you have lost your very reason
for existence."
Chancellor James Moeser, in his introductory remarks before
the interview, harkened back to the words of Edward Kidder Graham, the
president of the University of North Carolina who in 1914 said he hoped to make
to make the campus co-extensive with the boundaries of the state.
"This is not something recently planted," Moeser said. "The
roots of engagement go back to Edward Kidder Graham who said to the state,
'Send us your problems.'"
Nearly a century later, Carolina's engagement no longer
stops at the state boundaries ,and that is how it should be, Moeser said.
"There is no contradiction whatsoever to being committed to
our state, to the South and the world. Ultimately, engagement is a global
Last year, Moeser formed the Chancellor's Task Force on
Engagement with North Carolina that explored ways the University could
strengthen and expand its service to the state. In its final report, the task
force focused on new steps the University can take to serve the state in K-12
education, health care and economic development.

Hello all, I have been monitoring this reflector and others for a month or so and would like to thank all of you for the information and "polite" participation you have provided. I am new to this realm of Ham radio and would like to ask a question regarding feedline for 144/450 mhz. I have about 150 feet of 75 ohm hardline and would like to use it for the UHF/VHF antennas I plan to use for satellite work. I'm sure someone has opinions on this v.s. using 50 ohm very good quality coax. Would like any information regarding the use of this hardline. Thanks in advance and keep up the good reflector, all.

The Supreme Court debated a California law banning gay marriage on Monday. It felt like old news. The legal world appears ready to tackle new taboos, the way the White House is always bragging about the Supreme Court having three women at the same time.
FBI announced it's investigating the death of a woman who died in her cabin aboard a Royal Caribbean cruise liner at sea on Sunday. It's a mystery. The autopsy results will have to wait until they can find a Confederate general with some expertise on dysentery.
Jim Carrey mocked gun owners and Charlton Heston in a video spoof Friday. No one could believe he was mocking Charlton Heston during Easter and Passover. He's out to prove you can get killed for religious expression without mentioning the Prophet Mohammed.
Men's Health publisher and body-building guru Joe Weider died at the age of ninety-three in Los Angeles last week. He was a fitness fanatic. Joe Weider remained so strong and in such good shape all the way to the end that he's going to serve as his own pallbearer.

National Geographic bought Bill O'Reilly's book The Killing of Christ for a miniseries Monday. It's all due to the popularity of the mini-series The Bible. It's just the Republicans' luck that the year the Bible is so hot they nominated a candidate from the Book of Mormon.

This northern Italian harbor city is located on the border between Italy and Slovenia and is not far from Austria. It is part of the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region. In the 18th century, the Emperor of Austria ordered that a large harbor built built in Trieste and in so doing, ended Venice's long domination of the Adriatic. After the fall of the imperial and royal monarchy, Trieste became part of Italy. The harbor of Trieste is still the most important ocean harbor in this region. Nearly all of the architecturally interesting structures were built in the 18th century and the Wilhelminian period. The Piazza dell'Unità d'Italia, celebrating the unification of Italy, is at the heart of the city. This main square is surrounded on three sides by magnificent neo-classical structures. Right next to the Piazza dell'Unità d'Italia is the Piazza Verdi where the opera house Teatro Verdi is located. The Miramar Castle is located on the exposed cliffs above the Gulf of Trieste. You can also see it from the harbor. It was a gift from the Habsburg Archduke Maximilian, who was later also the Emperor of Mexico, to his wife, Charlotte of Belgium. Under Venetian influence, the first coffeehouses were established in Trieste. Benedetto Capano in the Via San Nicolò is the city's oldest coffeehouse. It was mentioned in written documents as early as 1768. The Hapsburg coffee culture is still alive and well today in many coffeehouses established in the 19th century.

Thin end of the wedge
The monitor people who cross the EU border
Now they want to monitor those who cross the UK border
They already monitor those who cross the City of London border
Where next? Monitor those who cross various council borders?
Just where does Labour get off thinking we want o need this constant monitoring? Just because MPs are a bunch of crooks does not mean the rest of us are. Perhaps they should turn the eagle eye and iron fists to their own ranks before trying to bring the entire populace under their jack-booted heel.

Don't waste time drying off. The luxurious TYR Dry Off Sport Towel dries you off in no time. Ideal for practice and competition, this is larger than regular dry off towels and includes a storage case for easy travel and storage.
Great Chamois
My son uses this at swim meets. It is small enough to carry to the pool and gets him mostly dried off before going back to wherever his stuff is. He likes to use a bigger beach towel to finish drying off and for warmth but using this first keeps the other towels from getting sopping wet.

Purchased this to save space and weight for hiking and camping.
You are dry after a few wipes, it packs very small and smaller if you don't use the carry case that it came in.
Thought about getting the larger size, but not necessary.

Dries into interesting shapes
My son uses this at his diving practices (everyone has one and they generally are given names). Nice size (big enough but not too big), nice color (he got purple). Dries quickly into very strange shapes (whatever you drape it on).
Deborah S.
Los Altos, CA
Use it to dry off after swim meets. It is absorbent and soft. Obviously not big enough to wrap up in, but very good at drying.
Taos, NM
This towel is legit! Don't let it become dry tho because it will be come hard.
James P.
Amarillo, TX
love it!
I used to always bring two towels to practice- one after I got out of the pool and one for the shower. I thought that this product seemed silly but I got one as a holiday present. It is amazing! I get unbelievably dry and I only have to transport one wet towel back and forth. I strongly recommend!

sport towel
I was expecting to be bigger.
watertown ma
It feels so cool
I love how well this towel works at removing water from your skin and hair. It is my new favorite item. It also helps prevent me from walking outside with wet hair in the winter when i don't have time to blow dry it.
Cincinnati, OH
My 7 year old son uses this towel at swim team practices, meets, and invitationals. It's very absorbent. It's also a good size for him. It's large enough for him to dry off and small enough for him to use. He has no trouble wringing the water out of his towel by himself. At meets, it allows him to dry off in between warm-ups and each event without having to drag a dozen towels. I would have liked more than 2 color options (blue or pink). I would also like a container that is either a little easier to open or able to attach to a swim bag. This towel gets the job done!

Reading, PA
I swim 12 hr a week and this towel has held up nicely. The color also ROCKS!! I highly reccomend it.

Founded in Southern California in 1985, TYR™ has since developed a reputation for high-quality products and equipment. TYR competition swimwear and triathlon gear have been a dominant force in their respective industries. The company is also known for its TYR goggles, swim apparel, triathlon wetsuits and a wide variety of swimming equipment.
TYR was the first company to introduce a pair of goggles designed to fit a woman's face (the TYR T-72). TYR was also responsible for the famous red bathing suits featured on the hit television series "Baywatch." TYR consults with current and former athletes when developing its products. Swimmers know that TYR is a leader in swimsuits, warm-up suits, and swim training equipment. The TYR Tracer Series is one of the most advanced technical suit lines on the market. The TYR Hurricane wetsuits and the TYR Torque collections include top-of-the-line suits for the competitive swimmer.
TYR has also moved into competitive running equipment. From running shirts to shorts, its apparel is designed with the runner in mind. Built with moisture wicking fabric and antimicrobial material, TYR running apparel is designed to give the athlete the most comfortable, dry clothing on the market.
The name "TYR" is derived from the Norse god of warriors, who is said to have embodied victory and glory. Much the same can be said about the athletes who started TYR. Executive Vice President, Steve Furniss, was an Olympian who competed in the 1972 and 1976 Summer Games, and captained the 76th U.S. Olympic Swim Team.

by Rev. Francis Hoffman "Father Rocky"
Day 20 Reflection:
We 'venerate' the Blessed Mother, we do not adore her. Adoration is reserved for God alone. A genuflection is a sign of adoration, whereas a simple bow of the head is a sign of veneration. Every Catholic priest, bishop, Cardinal, or Pope knows this. That's why I was amazed – and delighted! – when I witnessed the visiting archbishop of Alba Julia, Romania, fall down on both knees and bow in silent prayer to an image of Our Lady of Perpetual Help. Perhaps She had saved his life during the terrible years of Communist persecution in his homeland. And he obviously didn't care if someone thought he was adoring the Blessed Mother. Just like so many men who have fallen in love and admit that they adore their wives.
54 Day Rosary Novena based on the titles of the Blessed Mother as found in the Litany of Loreto.
About these reflections
Pope Francis has asked us to pray for the family this year.
Would you please join me in a 54 Day Rosary Novena praying for the upcoming Synod of the Family and the Supreme Court's deliberations on marriage so that God may be glorified and children protected?
We will start May 8.
You can pray the 54 Day Rosary Novena however you wish: alone, in a group, with your family. On a plane, in a train, in the car. You can do the regular, extra, or super-duper. The "super-duper" means praying all 20 mysteries of the rosary daily: Glorious, Joyful, Sorrowful, and Luminous.
Don't worry! There's no such thing as a bad rosary, no matter how distracted you might be or how chaotic life is. If you can't pray the rosary one day, you can get back on track the next day. The point is 'the rosary is powerful.' Very powerful. My father prayed it every day and managed to survive four years in the army in the South Pacific during WWII.
Each day I will post a short reflection on the many titles of the Blessed Mother from the Litany of Our Lady (Loreto) on my Facebook page.
Let's pray!

Bon Secours Richmond Nationally Recognized for Advancing Women
Health system to receive NAFE Award for fourth consecutive year
Bon Secours Richmond Health System (www.bonsecours.com) is being recognized as one of the top employers in the nation for recruiting, developing and advancing women by the National Association for Female Executives (NAFE). This is the fourth year that NAFE has recognized Bon Secours Richmond in its Top Companies for Executive Women awards program. About eighty-five percent of Bon Secours Richmond's more than 7,000 employees are women.
Bon Secours Richmond is one of only five nonprofits throughout the country to receive this honor, and this year each nonprofit is in the healthcare industry. In addition, NAFE annually names for-profit companies to its list of Top 50 Companies for Executive Women. The health system will be recognized as a Top Nonprofit for Female Executives at an awards luncheon on March 18 in New York City along with representatives from the other 54 award-winning organizations.
"Our success as a healthcare organization depends every day on decisions made by thousands of women who work throughout Bon Secours Richmond," says Bonnie Shelor, senior vice president of human resources for Bon Secours Richmond Health System. "This award is the strongest affirmation of the values and the many contributions that women bring to Bon Secours."
In naming Bon Secours Richmond as one of the nation's leading innovators, NAFE evaluated the organization on having a high percentage of women executives; embracing diversity; developing and supporting toward female advancement; and assisting not only female executives, but all employees, particularly in the development of work-life balance programs. In the nonprofit category, Bon Secours Richmond was found to have the highest percentage of women serving on an organization's board.
NAFE named Bon Secours Richmond because of the numerous benefits, professional development and work-life programs Bon Secours offers to all employees, including:
- Comprehensive medical benefits, dependent care, and programs for wellness, education and development, and tuition reimbursement.
- Job sharing, telecommuting, compressed work weeks, flexibility to move from full- to part-time in most job categories without penalty.
- Building and developing employees' careers. In the past six years, Bon Secours Richmond has presented more than 330 classes for nearly 3,550 employees. Employees have completed about 563,000 online courses.
- On-site child care offering 575 spaces for employees' children at three Family Centers, which include camps, volunteer programs, scholarships and intergenerational programming.
- Wellness programs, including regular health screenings and numerous resources, classes and support groups.
- Generous maternity benefits, with a guaranteed 14-16 weeks of maternity leave. Other benefits include an additional 12 weeks of unpaid leave with manager approval, flexible work schedules, financial assistance for adoptive parents, volunteer assistance to new moms, and more.
The NAFE award is among many prestigious recognitions that Bon Secours Richmond Health System continues to receive from organizations that include AARP, Experience Works, Alfred P. Sloan, Companies That Care, Richmond Chamber of Commerce, Wellness Councils of America and Working Mother magazine.
Bon Secours Richmond Health System is made up of four acute-care hospitals, St. Mary's, Memorial Regional, Richmond Community and St. Francis as well as Bon Secours HealthSource, comprised of more than 20 physician practice groups, Home Health, Hospice and assisted living facilities.

What's Coming Up
The Arizona women's gymnastics team returns for a brief single-meet homestand when it hosts the 10th-ranked Stanford Cardinal--the defending Pac-10 champions-- on Friday, Feb. 26, at 7:30 p.m., in the McKale Center. The Wildcats are 6-4 overall and 2-2 in the Pac-10, and Arizona will face its seventh top-25 opponent of the season.
The Cats followed up its top performance against Utah two weeks ago with another impressive overall meet last weekend at the UCLA Invitational, where the Cats, who finished second behind No. 8 UCLA, defeated No. 11 Florida and Cal State Fullerton. Arizona is prepared to build upon its success from the last two meets and continue to come together as a team. The Wildcats scored their third-highest meet score of the season at UCLA, 192.575, and they won the floor event, with a 48.475.
Arizona once again will depend upon the talents of All-Americans Heidi Hornbeek, Maureen Kealey and Kristin McDermott to lead the team against Stanford (8-2 overall, 2-1 Pac-10). After posting four season-high scores on vault, bars, floor and the all-around two weeks ago against Utah, sophomore Kara Fry continues to emerge in her role as one of the team's leaders. Head coach Bill Ryden is confident that freshmen Randi Liljenquist and Brooke Stan will continue to post impressive scores and challenge the veterans for position in all four events.
'Although we had to count a fall on both bars and beam, it was one of our best performances overall at that competition (UCLA Invitational) in quite a while,' Ryden said. 'I am sure that the routines will come together, and the scores will follow in the upcoming meets.'
Last season, the Cats fell to the Cardinal on the road, 192.850-192.025, and at the 1998 Pac-10 Championships, Stanford won its first-ever conference title, with a score of 195.275, while Arizona finished in sixth place with a 192.800. Stanford, UCLA and Oregon State are the only schools to win the Pac-10 crown.
Arizona's Last Time Out

The Cardinal took three out of the four events--vault (48.675), bars (49.275) and beam (48.925), in front of a crowd of 496 in Stanford's Burnham Pavilion. A Stanford gymnast also grabbed the top spot in each event, including the all-around.

Variable Oystercatcher (Haematopus unicolor)
The Variable Oystercatcher also known as Torea.
The variable oystercatcher inhabits mainly the sandy or rocky coastlines and establishes this as its own territory. This species of bird is endemic to New Zealand, meaning it is not found anywhere else in the world. They are also considered to be a threatened species.
One amazing fact about this oystercatcher in particular is that it is the only oystercatcher that is polymorphic. Polymorphic meaning it has different genetic variants. This oystercatcher's plumage can range in colour from pied to black. They are most often all black, but upon close inspection you will notice white specks on the underbelly, and white plumage under the wings.
Did you know? Moa eggs have been found at prehistoric Maori camps where they were thought to have been cooked and eaten.
The variable oystercatcher feeds mostly on molluscs, worms, crabs and small sea insects. They are found all over New Zealand, except the outlying islands.

Molly Dobbs to be killed off
Not just that, but the paper also says that Sally Webster will be left looking after Molly and Kev's baby as the couple take in the child after Molly's death. By 'eck, up the barmcake, etc.
15 comments:
"up the barmcake"??? I know what a barmcake is (I'm from Manchester) but why would it be used in this sense?

'Cos I felt like it?

I'm a bit dubious about this one. All the quotes they used from Collinson were from an interview awhile back and have been used in other speculation and spoiler stories as well.

I'm from Scotland, and I wouldn't know a barmcake from a pint of cider, but I like the word! up'em!! whatever they are!

It's the cold steel, isn't it Nurse Florence - do you think I might be excused?!
- 29 June 2010 at 15:51
Poor, poor Molly. But that is what you get in soap land for choosing to sleep with a bloke who is old enough to be your father.
- 29 June 2010 at 16:20
...they always bump somebody off at Christmas time.
Joy to the world.
- 29 June 2010 at 21:38
That's funny "Anonymous" :)).
I'm not sorry Molly's going; I never liked that Molly-Kevin story line, just didn't ring true to me.
Where'll Tyrone be during all this baby-minding by the Websters?
- 29 June 2010 at 22:06
I think Molly and Tyrone (who should also go now) should move away with the baby. How is Sally going to cope with a young baby, workign at the factory and recovering from cancer? Will Tyrone still work at the garage and have his nose rubbed in what he thought all along was his child? If this is true its daft IMO
- 30 June 2010 at 06:22
- Tvor said...
Yes if Tyrone is still living on the street it doesn't make sense that Sally and Kevin would take the baby unless Tyrone has found out that it's definitely Kevin's. If it isn't, then Tyrone would or should probably move away.
- 30 June 2010 at 10:54
- gab said...
i agree doesnt make sense for them to have the baby while tyrone looks on-hw would never cope with that
- 30 June 2010 at 13:44
oh who knows what story they're cooking up for the principals of the love triangle...maybe Tyrone is overwrought with sorrow and unable to care for an infant and Sally steps in?
Would she do that if the baby was known to be Kevin's?
More characters to leave the street?
Some of us already wonder if David and Tina could be leaving.
It's fun to speculate but, in the end, that's why we keep watching, I suppose.

Welcome to MKE On The Rise. For those of you unfamiliar with this segment of my Milwaukee local music column, MKE On The Rise is a monthly segment where a different band, artist or other important element of the Milwaukee local music scene is highlighted. The purpose of this segment is to give exposure to the hard working artists and elements of this scene that make the Milwaukee music scene what it is. For this edition of MKE On The Rise, I chose to feature a MC that got my attention the very first time I saw him perform at The Uptowner Sunday Open Mic Night. The artist I've chosen to feature for this edition of MKE On The Rise is Milwaukee's very own Son 'Em All.
In a city often known for being divided, Son 'Em All is one of the Milwaukee artists leading the way with collaborations with artists from all over the city and beyond. Although an independent artist, Son 'Em All is a part of the Milwaukee MC collective BlackWorld Music Group alongside Milwaukee MCs B.u., Big Fab and producer ZoE-RoE. Son 'Em All is a regular at The Uptowner and The Mason Jar open mic nights and other Milwaukee hip hop hot spots. Son 'Em All was also one of the homegrown artists chosen to perform at the world's largest music festival, Milwaukee's Summerfest, in 2013. He has also been known to pen the occasional article for the Milwaukee-based hip hop blog site The Illixer, operated by Miracle LeRoy and her dedicated staff.
Dating back to his childhood, Son 'Em All was interested in writing and would enjoyed writing and rhyming. Shortly after his 18th birthday, Son 'Em All found himself incarcerated. It was during this time that he began to write as a way to escape the brutal reality of his surroundings and to help express himself in a positive manner. His time in prison gave Son 'Em All a lot of time to read, write and educate himself. Upon his release from prison in 2008, he began to record with other local MCs in the city and quickly began to exhibit a talent behind the mic. Writing, recording and collaborating with countless MCs, he began to build a name for himself within the hip hop community in Milwaukee.
Since breaking into the Milwaukee scene, Son 'Em All has built an extensive body of work, including countless features with some of the city's finest hip hop talent and his own body of work that includes 3 mix tapes and an upcoming original EP. Son 'Em All's first mix tape, titled "Supernova", was released in 2010. The follow up to Supernova, "Son Em All Season" was released in 2011. His 3rd mix tape, titled "The Hoodie Chronicles Vol, 1", inspired in part by the Trayvon Martin tragedy, was released in 2012. The long awaited "The All In EP" is his first original project and is due to be released in 2014. 3 mix tapes and an original release in a 4 year time span on top of more features and collaborations than this writer could keep track of is an impressive body of work given the relatively brief amount of time Son 'Em All has been on the scene.
Most of Son Em All's subject matter is dark and gritty, featuring songs about his own past as well as the struggles he has observed around him while growing up a resident of Milwaukee. With each song, Son 'Em All manages to capture the gritty realistic feel of the city streets without glorifying them, in fact many times the lyrics present a cautionary tale if the listener pays attention. His lyrics have depth and wisdom to them only found from first hand knowledge of the subjects he raps about. Keep an eye out for this soft spoken big man, he is definitely one of the city's premier up and coming MCs that you're going to want to pay attention to.

WASHINGTON - Google's web search engine in China was "partially blocked" yesterday, the deadline for the Chinese authorities to renew the internet giant's business license.
"It appears that search queries produced by Google suggest are being blocked for mainland users in China," a Google spokesman told AFP. "Normal searches that do not use query suggestions are unaffected."
Google Suggest provides a user with suggested words as they type a query into the Google search box. Typing in the letters "ob," for example, may prompt a suggestion for "Obama."
A web page maintained by Google on the accessibility to its services in mainland China, google.com/prc/report.html, listed its web search service as "partially blocked" as of Wednesday.
The service had been listed as "fully or mostly accessible" for previous days this week. Other Google services such as Gmail, News and Images were "fully or mostly accessible" on Wednesday.
It was not immediately clear, however, whether the change in accessibility to Google's web search service in China was linked to its ongoing dispute with the Chinese authorities over censorship.
Google's web search engine in China has been "partially blocked" on three other days this month, most recently on June 17, June 18 and June 20.
Google said earlier yesterday that it would stop automatically redirecting Chinese users to an unfiltered search site in Hong Kong, a process it began in March in response to state censorship and cyberattacks it claims came from China.
Google said all mainland users would now be directed to a new landing page on google.cn, which links to the uncensored Hong Kong site.
Google's change in tack in the world's biggest online market was aimed at addressing government complaints about the censorship issue and came just before its Internet Content Provider license was up for renewal Wednesday.
"It's clear from conversations we have had with Chinese government officials that they find the redirect unacceptable - and that if we continue redirecting users, our Internet Content Provider license will not be renewed," Google's chief legal officer David Drummond said on the company's official blog.
"Without an ICP license, we can't operate a commercial website like google.cn - so Google would effectively go dark in China," he said.
"Over the next few days we'll end the redirect entirely, taking all our Chinese users to our new landing page," he said.
Drummond said Google re-submitted its business license application based on what it called a "new approach."
"This new approach is consistent with our commitment not to self-censor and, we believe, with local law," Drummond said.
Marsha Wang, a Beijing-based spokeswoman for Google, said the company was still waiting for a response from the central government on the license issue.
"We will keep communicating with (the government) to see what information it will give us," she said.
China is the world's biggest internet market, with an online population of more than 400 million, according to official data.
In January, Google threatened to completely shut down its operations in mainland China over what it said were China-based cyberattacks, and said it was no longer willing to abide by the so-called "Great Firewall of China".
Two months later, it started re-routing Google.cn users to its unfiltered Hong Kong site.
Beijing reacted furiously, denying any role in the cyberattacks which Google said had targeted the Gmail accounts of Chinese dissidents and saying it was "totally wrong" to stop filtering its Chinese-language search engine.
