Incident Management
Consistent, Error-Free Messaging for All Types of Incidents
Every day, operational issues impact productivity and revenue, cause production slowdowns, delay responses to time-sensitive issues, impact client satisfaction, and require tracking for compliance purposes. Everbridge Incident Management allows governments and organizations to automate their communication processes according to preconfigured rules. As a result, this decreases costly human errors and ensures the right processes are followed, sending consistent messages to responders, employees, customers and other stakeholders.
Error-Free Communications
The easy-to-use interface ensures the right incident communications processes are followed at the right time, and that clients are notified based on the type of incident taking place. Messages are consistent, error-free and complete every time they are sent to responders and stakeholders.
Form-Driven Templates for Communication
Simply select incident types and fill in the required information. The notification is sent to a pre-defined list of recipients.
On-Call Scheduling and Escalation
Keep track of who is on call to alert the right people based on the type of incident and time of day. If nobody confirms the alert, it is automatically distributed to an alternative response team.
Highly-Customizable Incident Communications
Incident Management can be configured to fit the needs of any organization or government agency with customizable variables and a separate incident response plan by location, line of business, or facility.
Since incidents are often not isolated and frequently have a cascading effect, our is also designed to manage multiple events. Reports provide details on incident status using real-time dashboards.
Extensive Incident Communication Tracking
Incident Management provides real-time reporting and creates an audit trail for all journal entries, along with outbound notifications and acknowledgements by response personnel, for compliance purposes.
Incident Management for Corporations
Every day, operational issues impact productivity and revenue, cause production slowdowns, delay responses to time-sensitive issues, impact client satisfaction, and require tracking for compliance purposes. Everbridge Incident Management allows businesses and organizations to automate their communication processes according to preconfigured rules.
Incident Management for Government
Incident Management ensures the right prescribed set of processes are followed during a public safety event, and sends consistent, error-free and complete messages for the same incident every time to responders and residents.
Incident Management for Healthcare
Everbridge's Incident Management solution enables hospitals to automate the code alert process by establishing pre-defined notification procedures to speed up code triage and STEMI alerts, notifying necessary hospital personnel faster to ensure effective patient care.
The great thing about Everbridge is how resilient the system is. When we evaluated the low-budget providers, it was hit or miss. I know that if an emergency occurs, I can rely on the Everbridge system to both be accessible and to quickly broadcast the messages – just as I expect it to work. With Everbridge, I don't have to worry.
During the H1N1 flu outbreak, we used the Everbridge system daily to keep executive management current on the international situation and to keep them apprised of the implementation of applicable sections of our corporate pandemic plan.
One of the best things I like about Everbridge is incorporating the things you wouldn't normally think of for communication, kind of leveraging the Internet of Things. If it's connected in some way, you could leverage it, either to get a critical message out or to receive a message.
"System uptime and reliability are critical to Oakwood Worldwide. With a global footprint and operations happening in every major time zone, our systems must be monitored 24x7. IT Alerting has improved the ability of our team to respond to issues more quickly ensuring that our service levels are maximized. Our team has benefited from this application as it provides targeted communication to the right IT team members and offers the ability for our IT team to collaborate to resolve issues."
The Everbridge brand is trusted. The beauty of IT Alerting is having a consistent, predictable, repeatable process with timely and relevant communications. And Everbridge facilitates every single piece of that.
Implementing Everbridge has been a huge win, both internally and at the corporate level, because our customers recognize the value of using a secure, reliable customer communications solution to notify them when critical incidents occur.
With Everbridge, we can broadcast out information to employees using any Internet-enabled computer, any Internet-enabled mobile device, or simply call to an Everbridge operator if our own technology was impacted. We also have two-way communications capabilities; we can receive immediate feedback from our employee base, and communicate back out to them. We also have live monitoring and reporting capabilities to see how effective it is while we're in the middle of an incident.
Everbridge is a singular tool that we look to all the time anytime there needs to be an enterprise-wide mass communication. We go in there, we quite literally click one button, and we have a message going out to our entire staff.
With Everbridge, Renown can also connect with on-call physicians and providers via text, streamlining the communication process. The IT team is also using Everbridge's solution to notify leaders when the PACS system is down while providing an ETA of when they can check back
Our ability to conference together a key strategic group using Everbridge when travel is impossible is a game-changer for us and is now part of the standard process for an office closing.
A lot of times when we need to use the Everbridge system I might not be at my desk, so I use the new mobile app that is available. I would much rather send a message out using a mobile app because it's just so much easier.
Everbridge fits our needs. Not only do we save time and improve customer service during our routine activities with Everbridge, but we also know we have a quick and reliable way to communicate with our customers and employees during an emergency.
Roche Pharmaceuticals uses the Everbridge system for any event that may alter the normal routine of the facility. We have found that one of the most important things in these situations is training and practice. In this way, we ensure that we have put in place the right system and practices to mitigate the risk associated with critical incidents.
It is important for Saks Fifth Avenue to have a mass notification system that enables the company to quickly and reliably communicate with our associates during critical events like hurricanes. We are now able to utilize the Everbridge system to help us provide an additional means to ensure our associates' safety and wellbeing.
Being able to tailor messages to only identified areas on a map rather than just sending out the message across the entire population, and being able to respond to situations appropriately based on customer communication is so helpful. It allows us a lot of flexibility and saves us a lot of time.

Florida State University EMPLID
An EMPLID is a unique, nine-digit number issued to all Prospective Students, Admitted or Current Students, Faculty and Staff, and Sponsored Guests of Florida State University. Information about how to retrieve your EMPLID can be found at http://faq.its.fsu.edu/Computing/Accounts/EMPLID/What-is-an-EMPLID-and-how-do-I-get-mine.
The EMPLID is required to activate an FSUID account.
The EMPLID is not the same as, nor does it replace, FSUID.
- EMPLID replaces SSN for transactions on campus that involve student record information including, but not limited to, major changes, drop/add requests, and appeals.
- The FSUID is the username that students use to log on to Blackboard. The student's FSUID does not change.
For Employees
Student Central's EMPLID field is a multipurpose field. Always begin by asking the student his or her name to look up the record. Then verify the student's identity with a second piece of information. In most cases, this can be the EMPLID. If an employee asks a student for their EMPLID and they do not know it, students should be asked for their FSUID (i.e. Blackboard username) and a picture ID.

Once again, Sun City's streets will undergo an annual round of maintenance to make the streets more durable for years to come.
The Sun City Softball Club started its fall season with an opening ceremony Sept. 4.
Director of facilities management Everett Banks threw out the first pitch.
Sun City residents have just over a week left to participate in the 2014 communication survey and include their input on popular community media such as SunSations, eNews Weekly and Sun City TV.
With the 2014 community elections a little more than two months away, now is the time to start thinking about stepping up to run for a volunteer position either on the board of directors or as a neighborhood representative or alternate.
Sun City executive director Damon L.
New bleachers went up at the softball field at the New River Sports Park last week.
Sunny summer weather brought residents out to another Sun City Farmers Market on Aug. 20.
The next market is set for Sept.
It is almost that time of year: Beautiful weather, athletes on the move and sweat pumping. It's almost time for the Beaufort Jasper Active Adult Challenge, this year with a whole new program.
Minor renovations were completed last week in the Hidden Cypress Clubhouse, pro shop, meeting rooms and Jameson's Charhouse. New flooring was installed in the banquet rooms, pro shop and bar area, and some minor painting and retouching was done.
A Jasper County school bus toured the Sun City neighborhoods in Jasper County on Monday morning to pick up school supplies residents collected to donate to students in Hardeeville and Ridgeland schools.

Almost all applications and utilities will set an exit code when they complete/terminate.
The exit codes that are set do vary, in general a code of 0 (false) will indicate successful completion.
The exit codes set by resource kit utilities are not always consistent, they can vary between machines with different Service packs/Resource kit updates applied.
When ending a subroutine, you can use EXIT /b N to set a specific errorlevel N.
Some utilities will return negative numbers as an exit code.
In the CMD shell the exit code is made available via the %ERRORLEVEL% variable or via IF ERRORLEVEL ...
IF ERRORLEVEL n statements should be read as IF Errorlevel >= number
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 will return TRUE when the ERRORLEVEL is greater than or equal to 1
IF NOT ERRORLEVEL 1 means if ERRORLEVEL is less than 1 (Zero or negative).
You should never attempt to write to the %ERRORLEVEL% variable because the value you set will then take precedence over the internal ERRORLEVEL.
You can make a batch file return a non-zero exit code by using the EXIT command.
To force an ERRORLEVEL of 1 to be set, run a small but invalid command like COLOR 00
or to speciy a particular ERRORLEVEL run CMD /C Exit /B 5
There is one difference between the way .CMD and .BAT batch files set errorlevels:
An old .BAT batch script running the 'new' internal commands: APPEND, ASSOC, PATH, PROMPT, FTYPE and SET will only set ERRORLEVEL if an error occurs. So if you have two commands in the batch script and the first fails, the ERRORLEVEL will remain set even after the second command succeeds.
This can make debugging a problem BAT script more difficult, a CMD batch script is more consistent and will set ERRORLEVEL after every command that you run [source].
In PowerShell $? contains True if last operation succeeded and False otherwise.
The exit code of the last Win32 executable execution is stored in the automatic variable $LASTEXITCODE
To read exit codes (other than 0 or 1) launch the PowerShell script and return the $LASTEXITCODE in a single line like this:
powershell.exe -noprofile C:\scripts\script.ps1; exit $LASTEXITCODE

Chrysler LLC said Friday it will make another round of early retirement and buyout offers to workers in the Detroit area.
The offers going out this month are similar to previous packages and designed to clear out about 2,000 workers who are on indefinite layoff due to slumping sales.
It isn't immediately known how many workers will be eligible. Chrysler has about 45,000 hourly workers worldwide.
Chrysler LLC Vice Chairman Jim Press said the U.S. economy probably won't improve until late 2009 or 2010.

Tomie dePaola Interview: The 75-year-old author on his new Strega Nona story. Babble.com's Five Minute Time Out.toddler-times
The 75-year-old author on his new Strega Nona story.
by Jeanne Sager
September 25, 2009
For forty years, Tomie dePaola has been writing and illustrating – providing generations of children with more than 250 classics, among them Newberry Honor and Caldecott winners. But it's his wise Italian grandmother with a penchant for pasta who has bewitched books off the shelves. With a new story, Strega Nona's Harvest, simmering in the pot and hitting shelves this September, dePaola sat down with Babble. The author cast a spell on us with his stories of being banned from learning Italian as a boy, his early years as an illustrator and the real origin of Strega Nona – all interspersed with plenty of laughter. – Jeanne Sager
How does it feel knowing that Strega Nona is being read by kids of people who read it as kids?
That's a little scary. (Laughs/) It's when the grandkids of kids who read it are reading it that I'll know I've been around too long!
But Strega Nona's coming back?
Yes, she made her appearance last fall in an incredibly beautiful pop-up book that I did last year with Robert Sabuda and Matthew Reinhart, and she'll be back this fall with a new book, Strega Nona's Harvest.
I read it and I loved that the pasta pot appeared in this book as well.
It has to appear everywhere!
I've always liked seeing that you try to incorporate the Italian in there too; what prompted that?
I've done that with all the Strega Nona books to try to teach a few little words of Italian. When I was growing up, my father didn't want us to learn Italian because we were Americans. I think it had a lot to do with the fact that he was born in 1907 – there was quite a lot of prejudice against immigrants in the early 1900s, and it was very important that we didn't learn Italian. Of course, the older I got, the more angry I got! I could have been bilingual.
You've written more than 250 books by now, with other characters. How does it feel that when people hear Tomie dePaola, they think Strega Nona?
That's fine! I tell young people that she built my swimming pool for me, with the royalties. I had no idea when I created the first book that she'd be so successful and she'd capture everyone's imagination. She's everybody's beloved grandmother. Big Anthony is everybody!
Everybody's dopey uncle?
Or ourselves. (Laughs.)
Actually, my daughter's favorite is the one about Little Grunt and Big Egg. What are some of your favorites that you've done other than Strega?
Well, I have a very close place in my heart for the autobiographical fiction books, books like Nana Upstairs and Nana Downstairs; The Art Lesson, which is a true story, Stagestruck; Tom, the story about my grandfather; The Baby Sister. In recent years I've been doing chapter books, and they've been all autobiographical. Those I've found really wonderful to work on. It's really unleashing my memories and the feelings I had when I was younger. It's great to revisit those places and feelings.
Mind revisiting how you got into writing?
I got into writing through illustrating. I wanted to be an artist, and I went to art school, Pratt Institute in Brooklyn. I took book illustration and decided I wanted to go into children's book illustration because the '50s was a golden age of children's book illustration. Maurice Sendak had just started out. Arnold Lobel had just begun to work; Leo Lionni, Eric Carle. It was a very exciting field and very imaginative and design-directed. It took awhile, and I had illustrated maybe about four books when an editor said, "Have you ever considered doing any writing?" Of course, I had, but secretly was afraid of the whole writing end of it. I knew I could draw, but I didn't know I could put together a book, although I was a good writer, because I was a good reader in grammar school. I always tell people if they're not a good reader, they won't be a good writer. I got handheld by an editor who really brought me along with my first couple of books. Then I did Nana Upstairs and Nana Downstairs and that really started the whole thing. Within a year, I had all kinds of books on all kinds of lists.
The 75-year-old author on his new Strega Nona story.
by Jeanne Sager
September 25, 2009
Do you find the children's books have captured you because you can do the illustrations with them?
I often get asked, if I had to give up one, which one would I give up?, and I'd give up the writing because I consider myself an artist first. But I hope I don't ever have to give up the writing as well! I'm actually branching out and working on some longer books. I also do paintings and drawings, not only children's book illustrations.
Where did Strega Nona's story come from? I've always read on the book cover something about an old fairy tale as told by Tomie dePaola.
Actually, when the very first Strega Nona was published, the publisher said we'll call it an old tale. But Strega Nona is an original character. I kind of invented her; I thought her up. It started with a doodle. My editor at the time wanted me to illustrate a folk tale, and asked me what my favorite folk tale was when I was a kid. I answered right off the top of my head, the porridge pot story, which is like the sorcerer's apprentice – the servant gets the magic going and can't stop. But I thought, you know, kids don't eat porridge in this country anymore – it's Froot Loops and all of that stuff – but I liked the double P sound, so I thought I'd change porridge pot to pasta pot and use my little character Strega Nona, and the rest is history!
I like that story even better than the old fairy tale.
I like to tell people that I don't really write the Strega Nona stories – I channel them.
The witch talks through you?
Yes, she comes and says, "Listen, I've got another one for you." (Laughs).
So you are Big Anthony?
I've been known to be!
"Everyone loves a grandma!"When you go around do people have a particular book that they come up and talk to you about?
Oh yeah – and with everyone it's different. Of course, as everyone loves Strega Nona. Everyone loves a grandma! But it is true that different things touch different people at different times of their lives. I did a family book several years ago called Christmas Remembered, and I got wonderful letters from people and wonderful stories from people who did just what I asked them to do – when they're sitting around the Christmas table, start reminiscing and telling the younger kids what happened when they were younger. We all have stories to tell. Now there's that whole thing done by the Smithsonian – I don't know if they got the idea from me or not – called Story Corps?
Yes, I've heard it – I think they sometimes play the clips on NPR.
Yes! You go and record something with a member of your family, which I think is a great idea.
It's really interesting to hear the different generations interact. I think that's what I enjoy most about your books, that I enjoyed them when I was a little kid (obviously you've continued writing since, so some I didn't read as a child) and now I'm reading them to my daughter. And now I hear you have a big birthday coming up?
Yes – in September, seventy-five in September.
And you're celebrating with another Strega book?
Yes. It just happened. I look back and say – ooh, that was a good idea. How better can I celebrate, right?
How do you feel being seventy-five and still getting to have fun at work?

So bottom line: What can children's minds tell us about love, truth and the meaning of life?
Looking at babies and young children makes us realize how deep the possibilities of being human are. So often when people talk about evolutionary psychology, they talk about all the ways that people are limited, that having brains that were shaped in the Pleistocene as hunter-gatherers makes us do all sorts of stupid things. When we look at children, we realize that we also have incredible capacities for imagination and possibility and change, even as adults. We get ourselves into these ruts of acting and planning, but part of what makes us human is that we're not stuck doing the things that we always did.
What can parents, in particular, take away from all this?
Pull Quote TKParents, especially middle-class North American parents, get so caught up in this "What should I do now to make my baby better? What books should I read?" mentality that they forget that part of being a parent or caregiver is that you get to witness literally the greatest thing that human beings ever do. This process of learning and imagining that we see in childhood, it's the most distinctively human thing. We humans have a much longer childhood than anyone else, and a lot of the things that make us most basically human, our capacities to love, our capacities to empathize with other people, our capacities to imagine other ways the world could be, our capacity to learn, those are things that we're seeing in their fullest form in babies and young children. So instead of being involved in caregiving and all you can think is "OK, what can I do to make my baby smarter?" remember that babies are already as smart as they can possibly be, and you get a chance, through the act of caregiving, to further the deepest parts of human nature. And as much as it's exhausting and stressful and all the rest of it, parents might take some time to get out of the "Oh my god, what should I do next?" mode and just pay attention and appreciate the fact that this fantastic thing is happening. That's the moral of the science.

RodiMood of Turkey Seeking Outside Partner, Adviser Daruma Says
RodiMood, a Turkish casual-clothing retailer, is seeking partners from outside the country, the company's financial adviser Daruma Corporate Finance said.
The company may sell a stake to a foreign investor this year, said Ozkan Yavasal, partner at Daruma, the Istanbul-based adviser for mergers and acquisitions valued at $50 million and $150 million. Investors from the Persian Gulf, Asia and Europe are interested, he said in an interview yesterday.
Turkish assets have lured domestic and international investors as the country's economy outpaced every member of the Group of 20 nations except for China in 2010. Turkey's economy grew at an annual rate of 8.9 percent in the first three quarters, and it will expand 8 percent this year, the International Monetary Fund said. Turkish M&A will fall to around $20 billion this year from a record $29 billion in 2010, Deloitte Turkey said in a report.
"We are holding talks with potential foreign buyers for RodiMood," said Yavasal. The company has annual sales of around $200 million, he said. RodiMood makes jeans and other casual clothing, according to its Website.
Other Companies
Daruma was hired by a Turkish crane-tower rental company that Yavasal declined to identify because of a confidentiality agreement. The company is "a leading one in the business and seeking a foreign partner," he said.
Companies from food and non-food retail, logistics and energy industries have signed exclusive deals with Daruma to act as adviser to provide equity finance, non-recourse project finance and mezzanine finance, said Tulay Kaya, another partner at Daruma, in the same interview.
Daruma advises a Spanish energy company on its possible investments in Turkey, Kaya said. She declined to identify the company.
Daruma aims to complete three M&A deals in the next three months including a deal for Istanbul-based hospital chain Universal Saglik Yatirimlari Holding AS, and two structured-debt transactions, one for a real estate industry company and another for a wind-energy project of about 100 megawatts of power, Kaya said. She declined to say the value of the deals.
Universal Hospitals
Daruma is advising the owners of Universal Saglik Yatirimlari Holding AS, a Turkish chain of 18 hospitals, on the sale of a minority stake, Yavasal said. The transaction may be announced "at the end of January or the start of February," he said. He declined to comment on whether Asia Debt Management Capital of Hong Kong is in talks to buy the Universal Saglik stake, as reported by the Sabah daily on Dec. 30.
"The investor in Universal will bring in a new business plan to grow the group significantly in Turkey in two years," Kaya said.
Turkey's growing health-care industry has attracted investors including Abraaj Capital Ltd., the Middle East's biggest private-equity firm, which bought 54 percent of hospital operator Acibadem Saglik Hizmetleri & Ticaret AS for about $606 million in 2007 and 2008. Carlyle Group, the world's No.2 private-equity firm, bought 40 percent of hospital operator Medical Park Saglik Grubu AS for an undisclosed price in 2009.
Daruma advised for Medical Park in the transaction with Carlyle and for Argus Capital Partners and Qatar First Investment Bank in their purchase of a 40 percent stake in the Istanbul-based hospital chain Memorial Health Group.
Daruma aims to complete more M&A transactions this year than the about $500 million worth of deals they worked on in 2010, he said.

Jorge Orta
From BR Bullpen
Jorge Orta Nunez (Charolita)
- Bats Left, Throws Right
- Height 5' 10", Weight 170 lb.
- Debut April 15, 1972
- Final Game June 10, 1987
- Born November 26, 1950 in Mazatlan, Sinaloa Mexico
[edit] Biographical Information
The son of Cuban third baseman Pedro Orta, Jorge Orta made his professional debut at the age of 17 with the Fresnillo Mineros of the Mexican Center League, batting .265 in 20 games. With the Puerto Mexico Charros of the Mexican Southeast League in 1970 he batted .302 in limited time. The next year Jorge became a regular performer for the Tuneros de San Luis Potosi in the Mexican Center League. While he fielded just .937 at second, he lit up the plate. The 20-year-old hit .423/~.527/.709 and led the league in average by 52 points. He also had the most triples (7) and stole 13 bases in 13 tries for the Jalisco Charros farm club.
The Chicago White Sox were duly impressed and signed Orta, assigning him to the Knoxville Smokies. He hit .316/~.399/.526 in 53 games for Knoxville and was in the majors much of the year. He never returned to the minors after that season. Orta was third in the American League in triples in 1973, second in average in 1974, 8th in average and third in triples in 1975 as an All-Star and posted an OPS+ over 100 throughout the 1970s, very good for a second baseman.
He originally came to the majors during Dick Allen's MVP year, and was a member of the Chicago White Sox during a turbulent period of Allen's career with the Sox.
Orta was not nearly as productive in the 1980s, finishing among the league leaders just once (10th in triples in 1984) and making one more All-Star team. He moved to outfield and DH due to his poor glove at second (Bill James ranks him as the worst defensive player among the 250 most-used 2B in history) and his OPS+ was under 100 all but once after 1980 as he declined fairly rapidly. Despite poor performances in the 80s, Orta's career MLB OPS+ was 108.
In the 1985 World Series Orta was the beneficiary of a controversial call by umpire Don Denkinger, who said he was safe on a grounder to Jack Clark. This would help Orta's Kansas City Royals to their first World Series victory.
In 1994, Orta played for Cariparma in Italy, hitting .241/.389/.379 in limited action.
Orta was voted into the Salon de la Fama in 1996

Aaron Diehl On 'Piano Jazz: Rising Stars'
Aaron Diehl On 'Piano Jazz: Rising Stars'
Dubbed "the Real Diehl" by Wynton Marsalis, pianist Aaron Diehl is bringing the music of keyboard giants like Scott Joplin, Art Tatum and Duke Ellington to a whole new generation. He's particularly enamored with the sacred works of Mary Lou Williams, and has even performed her Lenten pieces, but in a session with Rising Stars host Job Weber, Diehl plays an old Williams stride-piano piece called "Nightlife."
"I was just in a class the other day with Ethan Iverson, a great pianist and one of my mentors — we were talking about playing in the Harlem stride style," Diehl says. "One of the things that I'm constantly obsessed with is trying to get just the feeling of the balance between the right hand and the left hand and make it feel good."
Diehl was named the 2011 Cole Porter Fellow in Jazz by the American Pianists Association, and in this session, you can hear Diehl's modern take on the music of the time-honored masters of stride and swing.
Set List
"Nightlife" (M.L. Williams)
"Back Home Again in Indiana" (Hanley & MacDonald)
"Begin the Beguine" (I. Berlin)
"Morning Coffee" (B. Harris)
"Moonlight on Maggiore" (A. Diehl)
"Milano" (J. Lewis)
"Allison's Uncle" (H. Jones)

Do you know about Pokémon Go?
No. I don't know what Pokémon Go is and what all these things are. You're talking to somebody who made his first phone call at age 17. You're talking to someone who doesn't have a cell phone, for example, for cultural reasons. Tell me about Pokémon Go. What is happening on Pokémon Go?
It's basically the first mainstream augmented reality program. It's a game where the entire world is mapped and you walk around with the GPS on your phone. You walk around in the real world and can catch these little monsters and collect them. And everybody is playing it.
Does it tell you you're here at San Vicente, close to Sunset Boulevard?
Yeah, it's basically like a Google map.
But what does Pokémon do at this corner here?
"To make work out of your own imagination is an invitation to a lot of unforgiving hard slog, failure, satisfaction which doesn't last long, more failure, discontent, maybe a prize, a bit more satisfaction, self doubt, dissatisfaction, lots more hard work and so on and so on. But anyone who's persisted and written something and got to the end and even better had it published or performed learns quickly that the hard slog, the frustrations, the blind alleys and dead ends and scenes that don't work and great ideas that turn to dust are in fact a big part of the work. The reward for the agony is not the ecstasy of Chuck Heston finishing the Sistine Chapel but still more agony that might also include some kind of not pleasure exactly, maybe a brief, terrible joy."
~ Australian playwright Michael Gow

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) - Nobody in the 29-year history of the Minnesota Vikings has played two straight games better than Randy Moss.
The second-year star broke Paul Flatley's 1963 two-game record by amassing 331 yards on 21 catches against Chicago and San Diego.
And he isn't even the hottest receiver on the team right now.
Cris Carter holds that distinction. He has had four straight 100-yard games, the latest coming in a 35-27 victory over the Chargers on Sunday.
During that span, he's caught eight touchdown passes, including a career-high three against Chicago, helping the Vikings (7-4) recover from their 2-4 start.
Carter's tiptoe sideline grabs were on full display Sunday, a game in which he also spiked a ball that accidentally hit an official in the nose.
"I've never seen Cris play like this since I've been here," running back Robert Smith marveled. "I just can't say enough about how impressed I am with him. I mean, he's no spring chicken. I tell you, he's getting better every week. It's just unbelievable the fire the guy has."
Before this spectacular stretch, Carter had never recorded more than two straight 100-yard games in his 13-year NFL career. On Sunday, he joined Jerry Rice, Art Monk and Andre Reed as the only receivers to surpass 900 career catches.
Fittingly, the milestone came on a third-down TD reception.
Carter's been so spectacular lately it's easy to overlook Moss. Moss set career highs with 12 catches for 204 yards against Chicago, then added nine receptions for 127 yards and a touchdown on Sunday.
Carter has 20 catches for 277 yards and five TDs during the same span.
About the only one not impressed by his stratospheric level of play is Carter himself.
"I'm supposed to make plays," he said.
Carter, who turned 34 on Thanksgiving, always assumes he could have done more: "There were a couple of balls that I could have had," he said.
But there's no disputing this is his finest stretch.
"I've been amazed by him since I came into the league," Smith said. "He's probably played his best in the last five weeks. It's just hard for me to believe that he's gotten any better. But I think he has."
Carter's recent run coincides with the ascension of quarterback Jeff George, who is 5-0 as a starter after replacing Randall Cunningham.
After catching just one TD in 5 1/2 games with Cunningham at quarterback, Carter has 10 touchdown catches in the same span with George.
"I don't know if there's a quarterback who's come into a system in his very first year and had the kind of success that Jeff has had," coach Dennis Green said.
Even Jake Reed, who was benched two weeks ago after dropping his fifth pass in three games, got into the act Sunday with four catches, including a 5-yard touchdown, his first TD in nine games.
"We knew he was going to come back," Carter said. "It's tough when you have a guy like him, not only as a football player, but as a friend - he's probably my closest friend on the team - to see him struggle. There was nothing I could do to help him but try to encourage him."

I am interested in functional programming and the java platform.
I wrote and published a programming language named "Frege" (after the great german logician) that brings together both worlds.
The language is in many respects like haskell (syntax, type system, lazy semantics) but allows to use java methods as functions.

A Runanga man, believed to be in his early 20s, died after
the car he was in slammed into a house on High Street,
Greymouth, around 11pm last night during a short police
The body of a man killed in the crash remained in the vehicle
this morning. He was not the driver.
His name would not be released until he had been formally
Two other men, also believed to be in their 20's, are in Grey
Base Hospital. One was operated on last night to remove a
large piece of wood that had been impaled in his body and
remained in the intensive care unit this morning.
Cayden Dash moved out of the High Street house at 4pm
yesterday. Seven hours later a car crashed through his former
"That was where my bed would have been," he said looking at a
picture of the house this morning.
He had been given two weeks to move out, but had packed up
earlier when he found a new place to live.
"If we hadn't gotten this house, we would still have been
there," Mr Dash said.
Darren Claydon, who lived close to the crash scene, estimated
the car would have been travelling between 120-150kph when it
went past his house.
"He'd already lost it when he was out the front of my place
on the corner ... he was slightly across the centre line at
"It hit hard. I never heard the bang but I heard the skids."
He went outside to see what had happened and saw smoke coming
out of the vehicle, which had been bent in half.
"As soon as you saw it you knew there would be a fatality."
West Coast police area commander Inspector John Canning said
a homicide investigation had been launched.
"There are two reasons for this. One is because there was a
pursuit, the other is because the driver is not dead and
someone has to be culpable when there is a death."
Mr Canning said the constable involved in the pursuit was out
of his vehicle, near the Catholic Church when he saw a white
Subaru station wagon, travelling south, speed past him.
"The police officer decided it needed to be stopped. He
jumped into his patrol car, turned on the siren and lights
and a short pursuit followed."
The constable lost sight of the vehicle as it rounded the
sweeping bend alongside the hospital, Mr Canning said.
"As the police officer came around the corner himself he
found the vehicle had crashed into a house on the left hand
side of High Street."
Speed and alcohol were believed to have played a part in the
The officer involved in the pursuit had been stood down as
per police procedure, Mr Canning said. Welfare services had
been made available to him.
The pursuit will be investigated by the Independent Police
Conduct Authority.

Audio Device Representation, Control, and Monitoring Using SNMP
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is widely used to configure and monitor networked devices. The architecture of complex audio devices can be elegantly represented using SNMP tables. Carefully considered table indexing schemes support a logical device model that can be accessed using standard SNMP commands. This paper examines the use of SNMP tables to represent the architecture of audio devices. A representational scheme that uses table indexes to provide direct-access to context-sensitive SNMP data objects is presented. The monitoring of parameter values and the implementation of connection management using SNMP are also discussed.

text: I am roughly 9-10 DPO. I received Wondfo pregnancy test strips free with my purchase of the ovulation test strips. I never used these tests before. Since I had them on hand, I figured why not test just to see. The top test is from last night. The middle is an unused OPK strip just for comparison. The bottom is today's test with FMU. My husband even sees the lines and he NEVER sees them. They do look pink in person. The picture was taken this morning, but the lines appeared within 5 minutes of taking both tests. I am not sure if this brand is known for evaps or not, so please tweak and let me know what you think. Thanks!!

[Overview]
Snorlax is one of the most dominant and dangerous Pokemon in OU. Despite having the lowest Speed in RBY, only tied with Slowbro, Snorlax has one of the best stat distributions in the game, which, along with his powerful attacking options, lets Snorlax go one-on-one against almost every Pokemon in the game if he wants to. Add STAB Selfdestruct to the mix, and Snorlax will often be able to net you two kills. Snorlax is especially useful for capitalizing on a paralyzed Chansey and is one of the main reasons you may want to paralyze Chansey rather than go for the freeze in the first place. Snorlax is also the most versatile Pokemon in RBY due to its ability to use unexpected moves like Rest, Reflect, Amnesia, and Counter effectively. Snorlax is so good that he is often a brainless addition when making a RBY OU team.
 [SET] name: Fishlax move 1: Body Slam move 2: Hyper Beam / Surf move 3: Earthquake / Surf move 4: Selfdestruct [SET COMMENTS]
This is by far the most common Snorlax moveset, and thus, the moveset everybody expects when battling him. Body Slam is your main attack, and him hits most things that don't resist it, while having a 30% chance of paralyzing the opponent. Hyper Beam is a finishing move that will let Snorlax KO most things below 50% health. Your opponent may see Hyper Beam coming, but unless they have a Golem, Rhydon, or a healthy Pokemon with Counter, they will be hard-pressed to respond to it.

Earthquake is mostly for Golem, Rhydon, and Gengar, all of which would otherwise take on mono-Normal Snorlax easily. It can also check for Counter on certain Pokemon, especially Chansey, who will KO you if you attack her with Body Slam. Surf is another popular choice to hit Golem and Rhydon, two of the best Snorlax switch-ins, a lot harder than Earthquake and usually KOes them after a Body Slam. However, if you drop Earthquake, Snorlax will be pretty worthless against Gengar and Counter Chansey; forgoing Hyper Beam will limit your offense against everything in general, especially towards the end of the game.
 [ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]
On the defensive side, Rhydon and Golem are among the most common Snorlax switch-ins, so at least one Pokemon that can switch into them a few times, such as Exeggutor or Starmie, is recommended as a teammate unless Snorlax packs Surf. Other bulky Pokemon like Lapras, Cloyster, and Exeggutor may also switch into Snorlax, so Chansey, Alakazam, and/or Starmie will help to neutralize them. Alakazam, Chansey, and Starmie, as well as other Pokemon like Exeggutor and Slowbro, will also be able to spread some paralysis, which will speed up Snorlax's offense.
 [SET] name: Amnesialax move 1: Amnesia move 2: Blizzard / Ice Beam move 3: Body Slam / Thunderbolt move 4: Rest / Selfdestruct [SET COMMENTS]
This set works like Slowbro, but trades an Electric-type neutrality for a special STAB move and Thunder Wave. In match-ups against physical Pokemon, with Blizzard, you will only need to use Amnesia once, since 456 Special is usually enough to 2HKO Tauros and will always let Snorlax OHKO Rhydon and Golem, as well as 3HKO opposing Snorlax. Ice Beam can be useful against Chansey with Reflect or Counter; otherwise the extra PP is not needed, even if you are using Rest.

Thunderbolt lets Snorlax take on Water-types more easily, especially Cloyster and Slowbro. Body Slam is his best move to fight Chansey, as Blizzard will quickly run of PP against it and Ice Beam fails to 3HKO; however, Ice Beam and Thunderbolt may also let Snorlax PP stall Chansey out of Softboiled as long as Snorlax doesn't get frozen beforehand. Body Slam also helps if Snorlax isn't able to get in a few boosts quickly enough, for example against Alakazam; unfortunately, if you do not opt to use Blizzard or Body Slam, Snorlax will fare worse in physical match-ups. Rest is the preferred move on this set to let Snorlax continue sweeping after set up, but you should watch out for your opponent predicting its use and going to a physical sweeper. Selfdestruct is a good, often unexpected option and especially useful for when Snorlax doesn't have time to set up.
 [Other Options]
A physical set with Rest is also viable. Rest often lets Snorlax survive a lot longer, especially after spreading some paralysis. However, its most rewarding use is shrugging off the attacks Chansey fires at Snorlax when switching into it and waking up against her, thus letting you come into Chansey more comfortably. Reflect is commonly used in this set, and protects Snorlax from physical sweepers like opposing Snorlax, Rhydon, Golem, and even Tauros while sleeping; it also halves the damage from Explosion.

Using both Reflect and Amnesia in the same set in another possible combination. After setting up, only a high number of critical hits or double Explosions will beat a Snorlax with this set, so with some paralysis support and residual damage, it's very difficult for the opponent to take him down. However, depending on the damaging move you choose, there may always be something you will have difficulty getting past. Body Slam is preferable because it beats Chansey with regularity.

Counter is rarely seen on Snorlax, but can be effective for match-ups with Tauros or Snorlax and for coming into predicted Hyper Beams from them. However, using it means dropping Hyper Beam, which will limit Snorlax's offensive power. Thunderbolt and Thunder will hit Cloyster harder, making them viable options if Wrap and similar moves are allowed.
 [Checks and Counters]
Snorlax is probably the second most difficult to wall Pokemon in OU after Tauros. Cloyster is probably the safest Snorlax switch-in. If you can paralyze Snorlax beforehand, Rest Cloyster will comfortably keep using Rest against Snorlax. However, Cloyster is 3HKOed by Thunderbolt and 2HKOed Thunder, but these moves are almost never seen on Snorlax, except on the Amnesia set. Lapras's and Articuno's physical bulkiness is slightly smaller, but with Rest they are also usually able to wall a paralyzed Snorlax. Slowbro has the ability to set up on Snorlax and can take Body Slams well. Golem and Rhydon can easily switch into a Body Slam, although paralysis will cripple them. These Rock-types will at least ensure Snorlax is not using Body Slam again, so you can switch out to something like Lapras or Exeggutor if you fear Surf. However, if Snorlax is indeed packing Surf, prediction is necessary if you want to use the Rock-type Pokemon. If Snorlax is using Surf over Earthquake, though, Gengar will easily be able to take on Snorlax.

Paralysis will cripple Snorlax in general, making him easier to wall, but Chansey and Alakazam, the most common users of paralyzing moves, can't switch into Snorlax. However, if Snorlax switches into any of these Pokemon, staying in to paralyze him is advisable if their health is high. However, Alakazam can still set up Reflect and will usually win the match-up or force Snorlax out due to his low critical hit rate. If your opponent surprises you with an Amnesia set, your best bet is usually using Explosion or Selfdestruct on it with Pokemon such as Exeggutor, Golem, Gengar, or even your own Snorlax, unless you think you can take it down with, for example, Tauros or Snorlax before he can set up.

Factors Affecting Revictimization in Survivors of Childhood Sexual Abuse
Date: August 2010
Creator: Ericksen, Stephanie J.
Description: Structural equation modeling was used to examine how childhood sexual abuse (and other associated variables, such as family functioning and experiencing multiple forms of abuse) relates to revictimization and psychological distress. Participants were women who participated in Project HOW: Health Outcomes of Women interviews, a longitudinal study that spanned six waves of interviews. Only women with a history of childhood sexual abuse were included in the present study (n=178). Experiencing nonsexual child maltreatment in addition to childhood sexual abuse appears directly related to adult sexual and physical revictimization and indirectly related to psychological distress. Childhood sexual abuse alone was not predictive of revictimization or psychological abuse. This suggests that other mediating factors may explain the relation between CSA and revictimization found in other research. Clinical implications based on the results of the present study emphasize the importance of identifying children who have experienced multiple forms of abuse as particularly at risk for future victimization. In addition, providing interventions with a focus on education and empowerment might decrease risk for future violence and subsequent emotional maladjustment. Potential future research could examine the treatment outcomes and efficacy of these interventions as well as identify those mediating factors that increase the risk for ...

Is Mattering what Matters: A Validation Study of the Meta-Valuing Measure of Flexible Valuing
Date: August 2010
Creator: Taravella, Cicely C.
Description: Freely choosing a life direction, or flexible valuing, is a core component of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). Initial research suggests that valuing behavior may contribute to psychological well-being, but has been stymied by a lack of an efficient measure. The current study examined the psychometric characteristics of a new measure of flexible valuing, the Meta-Valuing Measure (MVM), in a sample of 532 undergraduates. Exploratory factors analysis revealed 3 orthogonal factors, Valuing (α = .94), Freedom from Values Conflict (α = .92), and Flexibility in Valuing (α = .73). The majority of expected relationships with other constructs were significant including those with measures of values, mindfulness, quality of life, experiential avoidance, and psychological distress.

Organized Semantic Fluency and Executive Functioning in an Adult Clinical Sample and a Community Sample
Date: August 2010
Creator: Chlipala, M. Linda
Description: The study investigated an organized semantic fluency task, (the Controlled Animal Fluency Task - CAFT) as a measure of executive functioning (EF) in adults, and the relationship with instrumental activities of daily living (IADL). Participants (N = 266) consisted of a clinical sample (n = 142) utilizing neuropsychological assessment data collected at an outpatient psychological center, and a community sample (n = 124). The clinical sample was a heterogeneous mixed neurological group including a variety of health conditions and comorbid anxiety and depression. The CAFT Animals by Size demonstrated a significant positive correlation with Category Fluency (r = .71, n = 142, p < .001) , Animal Fluency (r = .70, n = 142, p < .001), and with other, established neuropsychological measures. The CAFT Animals by Size condition demonstrated a significant moderate negative correlation with IADL for the sample as a whole (r = -.46, n = 248, p < .001), and for the clinical sample (r = -.38, n = 129, p < .001), but not for the community sample. In a hierarchical regression analysis, CAFT Animal by Size explained additional variance in IADL (ΔR2 = .15). In a hierarchical regression analysis predicting IADL with the control variables ...

Assessment of Feigning with the Trauma Symptom Inventory: Development and Validation of new Validity Scales with Severely Traumatized Patients
Date: May 2011
Creator: Payne, Joshua W.
Description: Currently, only the TSI assesses complex traumatic reactions and patient response styles. However, its feigning scale, ATR, uses a flawed detection strategy and is potentially confounded by experiences of complex PTSD. As a consequence, clinicians using the TSI to evaluate severely traumatized patients have no useful method for discriminating genuine and feigned responding. Several detection strategies have demonstrated utility within evaluations of feigned trauma including the assessment of rare symptoms, symptom combinations, symptom selectivity, and symptom severity. The current study created scales on the TSI according to these strategies using a development sample of 107 severely traumatized patients. Validation of all TSI feigning scales was then performed with a second independent sample of 71 severely traumatized patients using a mixed simulation design. Results found support for each scale's convergent validity with SIRS primary scales (M rs = .52) and discriminant validity with measures of defensiveness on the SIRS (M rs = -.07) and TSI (M rs = -.19). Each scale also produced expectedly mild to moderate relationships with SADS-C clinical scales (M rs = .32) and the SCID-IV PTSD module (M rs = -.02). Support for their criterion validity was only moderate (M ds = .69) when comparing the scores ...

Executive Control of Craving: An Examination of College Students
Date: May 2011
Creator: Yates, Robert Dean, III
Description: Previous research has shown that alcohol abuse may cause a deficit in frontal lobe functioning, specifically, areas of the frontal lobe that are related to executive function. Additionally, problems with executive function have been related to increased difficulty in managing cravings to addictive substances. The current study explored the relationship between alcohol use and performance on measures of executive functioning in a sample of 121 traditional college students. Students were given 5 measures of executive function designed to explore mental set shifting, updating, inhibition, sustained attention, and planning. These measures were used to examine the relationship between executive function and craving as measured by the Obsessive Compulsive Drinking Scale. Levels of alcohol use were also examined using the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test in relation to executive function performance and family history of alcohol abuse.

Implementation of a Therapy Group for Wives of Veterans with Posttraumatic Stress Disorder: Development and Preliminary Outcomes
Date: May 2011
Creator: Reck-Gordy, Jennifer K.
Description: The purpose of this study was to develop a manualized therapy group for wives or significant others of veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder and to evaluate its effectiveness in reducing wives' psychological symptoms. A second aim of the study was to determine if women's involvement in the wives group resulted in decreases in their husbands' PTSD symptoms. Women recruited for the study were administered pre-test measures during a screening session. They then participated in a 9-session manualized therapy group designed by the researcher that included psychoeducational, process, and support components. Examples of group topics included psychoeducation regarding PTSD, assertiveness and communication, intimacy, self-care, and stress management. After completing the group sessions, participants were asked to complete post-test measures. Other factors explored in this study included marital satisfaction, perceived social support, general satisfaction with the group, and demographic variables. Results indicated that wives who participated in the group treatment exhibited significant decreases in secondary stress symptoms and increases in marital satisfaction from pre-test to post-test. The majority of participants also reported high levels of satisfaction with the group process. Therefore, it appears that the group protocol presented in this study could be a useful tool in the treatment of wives of ...

Evaluating Process Variables in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
Date: August 2011
Creator: Vander Lugt, Amanda Adcock
Description: Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) was developed to specifically target experiential avoidance (EA) rather than any specific diagnostic category. A functional ACT manual was presented and used to treat diagnostically diverse clients in a large sliding fee-for-service training clinic. A multiple baseline across participants and behaviors research design was used to evaluate session-by-session changes in EA, values identification, valued action, and clinical distress. The Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-2 (AAQ2), Valued Living Questionnaire (VLQ), and Outcome Questionnaire (OQ-45) were given to measure processes and outcomes given the functional ACT model presented in the introduction to the paper. Baseline included the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Axis I and II Disorders given across 2-5 50- minute sessions. The treatment phase consisted of 7-10 50-minute sessions. Participants were 10 clients. Four participants completed sufficient treatment sessions (4-9) to test the study hypotheses. Participants generally improved across time, but most improvements could not be attributed to the functional application of ACT due to changes during baseline for AAQ, VLQ-Consistency, and OQ-45. VLQ-Importance significantly improved for all participants given ACT.

Evaluating the Effectiveness of a Parent training Protocol Based on an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Philosophy of Parenting
Date: August 2011
Creator: O'Brien, Karen M.
Description: Thirty-four parents were referred by their CPS caseworkers to participate in one of two ACT for Parenting workshops. These workshops followed a 12 hour treatment protocol based on an acceptance and commitment therapy philosophy of parenting. Briefly, an ACT philosophy of parenting maintains that effective parenting requires awareness and acceptance of thoughts and feelings as they occur in the context of the parent-child relationship. An ACT philosophy of parenting also relies heavily on the identification and commitment to parenting values. Participants were asked to track acceptance and valuing behavior on a daily basis for 25 days prior to the intervention and 25 days post-intervention, as well as to complete a package of self-report instruments designed to measure both ACT specific and general psychological processes, at three different points (pre-, post- and follow-up). Nineteen parents received the treatment, and of those, seventeen provided follow-up data 3-4 months post-intervention. Results indicate statistically significant changes in the expected directions for scores on the BASC-2 Externalizing Composite as well as on the Meta-Valuing Measure. A total of 10 parents also evidenced clinically significant change in the expected directions on a variety of outcome measures.

Intimate Partner Violence Among Female Undergraduates: The Role of Language in the Development of Posttraumatic Stress
Date: August 2011
Creator: Larson, Christina Mary
Description: Research findings across a variety of samples (e.g., clinical, shelter, hospital) estimate that 31% to 84% of women who have experienced intimate partner violence (IPV) exhibit symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The current study sought to further investigate the abuse-trauma link by examining the relationship between lifetime trauma exposure, type of abuse (i.e., physical, psychological), and perspective-taking abilities (i.e., here-there, now-then). The role of experiential avoidance in the development of PTSD symptoms was also examined. Results indicated that lifetime trauma exposure (β = .31) and psychological abuse (β = .34) were significant predictors of PTSD symptomatology. Additionally, analyses revealed that experiential avoidance (β = .65) was a significant predictor of PTSD symptoms that partially mediated the relationship between IPV and PTSD symptomatology. Implications of findings are discussed as well as future suggestions for research examining type of IPV and PTSD.

Risk and Resilience Faced by Children of Deployed Service Members
Date: August 2011
Creator: Geddes, Jeffrey D.

Protective factors including values consistent behavior, child adaptability, and family cohesion were predictive of better childhood outcomes. Parenting stress served as a mediating variable between the relationship of total risk and child outcomes, while values consistent behavior served as a mediating variable between the relationship of protective factors experienced by children and child outcomes.
