Clear Creek team hopes 'the magic' continues
Published: Thursday, March 30, 2006 at 4:30 a.m.

Since September a team of fifth-graders at Clear Creek Elementary School has been writing scripts, painting props and designing and sewing costumes. All the months of work will come together Saturday when the students perform at the Odyssey of the Mind state competition.
The team won second place in the elementary division of the "Classics.... Ancient Egypt" category during the regional competition March 11. This award won them the opportunity to compete at the state level.
Team members are Lillie Christiano, Kendall Deweese, Daphne Hill, Lenora Mathis, Elizabeth Owen, Shelby Roviello and Malorie Woodruff. They are coached by Clear Creek teacher Melissa Roberts.
"The kids do it all," Roberts said. "I just supervise the sewing machine, razor blades and staple gun, but the kids do the rest."
The team has been meeting each Thursday for rehearsals and have continued that regimen since the regional competition earlier this month.
"They were so polished," Roberts said of the group's performance. "If we rehearsed too much it would take the away the magic."
The students are looking forward to Saturday's competition. "They are really, really excited," Roberts said.

Hi, this is my first wordpress theme; it's at hellofriends.org. I'm trying to build a portfolio site based off of the Mcsweeney's site and old print books, in that center-aligned big serifed text.
My links to my different projects are under "Portfolio" under the main banner and contact info. When you click on the links the posts show up without the images, I guess in extract mode. I need for them to show up with images and text but I'm not sure where in the coding I need to make the change.

Britney Spears can't seem to last in rehab for more than several hours.
For the second time in less than a week, Spears has checked out of a facility within hours of checking in.
TMZ.com says Spears just couldn't handle rehab. "The Insider" reports that Spears called a car service to pick her up.
She made the same quickie visit to another facility last week.
Her people still haven't said exactly why she voluntarily admitted herself.
Spears grabbed headlines over the weekend after she shaved her head and visited a tattoo parlor in Los Angeles.

Photoshop Elements 11 Essentials: 02 Editing and Retouching Photos
Go beyond the automatic editing features in Adobe Photoshop Elements and find out how to make sophisticated edits using the Expert Edit mode. In this course, author, teacher, and photographer Jan Kabili explores the core features of the Expert Edit mode, from making exposure adjustments, retouching, and compositing images, to adding text. The course also takes a close look at adjusting photos with Adobe Camera Raw, included with Elements 11.
- Arranging the panels and interface
- Cropping and resizing photos
- Creating new layers
- Refining selections
- Hiding content with a layer mask
- Using adjustment layers
- Correcting color, lighting, and contrast
- Converting a color photo to black and white
- Creating a panorama from multiple photos
- Retouching blemishes and wrinkles
- Making adjustments in Camera Raw
- Subject:

- Author:
- Jan Kabili
- [Voiceover] Hi there, I'm Jan Kabili, your instructor for Photoshop Elements 11 Essentials Editing and Retouching. This course zeroes in on the heart of Elements 11, its Expert Edit workspace. This is the part of Elements that gives you the most control and flexibility over editing and retouching your photos so they look the way that you want them to. The first thing to know about the so-called Expert Edit workspace is that you don't have to be an expert to use it. First, I'll help you get comfortable with the basics, like cropping and resizing your photos, and working with layers, masks, and selections.
Then we'll dive in to how to adjust photos, with corrections to lighting, color, and detail. I'll show you how to combine bracketed exposures and multiple group shots to get the best from each photo. I'll demonstrate specific techniques for retouching portraits so your subjects always look great. And I'll walk you through how to process your RAW photos as well as your JPEGs with the Camera RAW plugin for Elements Editor. There's lots to cover, so let's jump right in and get started.

Biden returning to NC to welcome troops home
Published: Monday, April 6, 2009 at 12:11 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, April 6, 2009 at 12:11 p.m.
FORT BRAGG, N.C. (AP) Vice President Joe Biden is returning to North Carolina, this time to welcome home troops from Iraq.
Biden and his wife, Jill, will travel to Fort Bragg on Wednesday to welcome home the 18th Airborne Corps. He will speak at a ceremony.
The 18th Airborne Corps spent more than a year in charge of the Multi-National Force in Iraq. It completed that work on Saturday and passed along the command to I Corps of Fort Lewis, Wash. Biden's son, Beau, is serving in Iraq with the Delaware Army National Guard.
The vice president also visited North Carolina last week, touring rural Faison and Pikeville to tout the $787 billion federal stimulus package.

Genetic population structure of the paper wasp Polistes olivaceus (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) in Bangladesh

Dispersal triggers gene flow, which in turn strongly affects the ensuing genetic population structure of a species. Using nuclear microsatellite loci and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), we estimated the genetic population structure of the wasp Polistes olivaceus throughout Bangladesh. The level of population differentiation using nuclear markers (F ST) appeared to be much lower than that estimated using mtDNA haplotype sequences (ФST), even after correcting for effective population size differences between the two markers. These results suggest a philopatric tendency, in which gynes disperse less than males. We observed no isolation by distance among the study populations at either the nuclear or mtDNA level, suggesting nonequilibrium between gene flow and drift as a result of very frequent interpopulation movement. For the nuclear markers, an individual assignment test showed no genetically and geographically distinct groups. Instead, phylogenetic analyses as well as a minimum spanning network using mtDNA haplotypes consistently revealed two distinct lineages. The distribution of haplotypes indicated western populations with a single lineage and offered clear evidence for restricted gene flow across the Jamuna–Padma–Upper Meghna river system. Mismatch distributions exhibited a unimodal distribution, which along with a starlike haplotype network, suggested a population expansion in lineage I but not in lineage II. Overall, these results suggest that gene flow among populations of P. olivaceus was affected by both female philopatry and a major river system across Bangladesh.

PREVIEWS: "Daredevil," "Uncanny X-Men," & More Marvel Comics On Sale August 3, 2016
Comic Books
Every Wednesday evening for the past few months, I'd visit my local comic shop, scan the little piles of Secret Wars tie-ins stacked on the counter and flip through many of the more appealing-looking ones before ultimately setting them down, knowing I'll get to them eventually, when they're collected. Due to the price of almost all of Marvel's comics, I've given up on reading them as they're released, and instead wait to read them in trade.
Now I have read a handful of Secret Wars comics that I found at my friend's apartment — the first issues of A-Force, The Amazing Spider-Man: Renew Your Vows, Secret Wars Journal, X-Men '92 – so I understand the general premise of the tie-ins, if not what's going on in the main book. The downside of reading trades instead of single issues is that you're always one event series behind everyone else. (How about that Axis, huh?)
I mention my own buying habits here only because this week I encountered a Secret Wars tie-in that looked so good, and looked even better the more I flipped through it, that I simply couldn't resist buying it, despite its fairly substantial $4.99 price: Secret Wars: Secret Love #1, a one-shot anthology featuring five romantic stories set in various corners of the "patchwork world" of Secret Wars. And the fact that I did break down and buy it is kind of a review in and of itself.

It's another week, which means a new batch of Marvel series launched as part of the publisher's "All-New Marvel NOW!" initiative showed up at my local comics shop: Felipe Smith and Tradd Moore's All-New Ghost Rider, Ales Kott and Garry Brown's Iron Patriot, and Dan Slott and Mike Allred's Silver Surfer.
I read two out of the three, as those were the most visually interesting, and seemed to be part of the initiative's guiding principals: matching striking talents with lower-tier characters for idiosyncratic takes that veer away from the "typical" Marvel comic. Also, those were the two that featured characters who haven't had a shot at their own book for a longer while. (Sorry, Iron Patriot, it's not you, it's me. I'm sure there are plenty of other critics willing to review you).
Legal | The creator of the Islamic superhero comic The 99 says he hasn't been officially notified of a reported ban of the animated adaptation of his comic in Saudi Arabia. "Nobody ever contacted me, nobody ever asked me any questions," Naif Al Mutawa says. There have been numerous Twitter campaigns against me for a while now and so for me it's not new. Maybe it is true this time, but I find it very difficult to believe that a group as influential and high profile as them [Saudi Arabia's Permanent Committee for Scholarly Research and Ifta] wouldn't recognize the good that The 99 has done for Muslims around the world." He adds that the comic has been available in Saudi Arabia for seven years, while the cartoon has been airing for two and a half years, making the timing of a ban "a bit weird." [Gulf Business]
To help promote its All-New Ghost Rider, which introduces a new Spirit of Vengeance with a new vehicle, Marvel is turning to some folks who know a little bit stylish rides: the editors of Lowrider Magazine.
As part of a new partnership, new Robbie Reyes Ghost Rider (and a scantily clad friend) will grace the cover of the magazine's special April issue, "Marvelous Mayhem," with an illustration by series writer Felipe Smith. Inside, readers will find an interview with Smith and Marvel Editor-in-Chief Axel Alonso, as well as artwork by Tradd Moore from All-New Ghost Rider #1.
While much of the comics industry is caught in that bubble between Christmas and New Year's Eve, Marvel Editor-in-Chief Axel Alonso is busy tweeting sneak peeks at art from a handful of titles, including the debut issue of Moon Knight by Warren Ellis and Declan Shalvey.
Among the other offerings are pages from All-New Ghost Rider #2 by Felipe Smith and Tradd Moore, Winter Soldier: The Bitter March #1 by Rick Remender and Roland Boschi, and All-New Invaders #2 by James Robinson and Steve Pugh. Check them out below.
Welcome to Food or Comics?, where every week we talk about what comics we'd buy at our local comic shop based on certain spending limits — $15 and $30 — as well as what we'd get if we had extra money or a gift card to spend on a splurge item.
Check out Diamond's release list or ComicList, and tell us what you're getting in our comments field.
Brigid Alverson
If I had $15, I'd spend the first $3.99 on the first issue of 47 Ronin, a retelling of a Japanese legend written by Mike Richardson and illustrated by Stan Sakai. I saw a preview of this and it looks phenomenal. Next up is my favorite soap opera, Life With Archie #24 ($3.99), in which Moose contemplates running for the Senate and The Archies reunite. This comic is consistently well written and the stories really drag me in. I'll slap down another $3.99 for Popeye #7, because I'm a Roger Langridge fan. And because I love a bargain, I'll finish up with Freelancers #1, a new series from BOOM! Studios that looks kinda fun — and hey, there's a variant cover by Felipe Smith, one of my favorite manga artists.
If I had $30, I'd revert to my childhood and pick up the Doctor Who Annual ($12.99) from Penguin. When I was a kid, the British comics annuals were the high point of the holidays, and I'm pretty sure I have a vintage Doctor Who one tucked away somewhere. It's probably aimed at kids but that just means I can share it with my nephew and nieces.
The splurge item to get this week is the new box set of Hayao Miyazaki's Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind. This is Miyazaki's longest manga by far, and the story continues after the movie ends. It's going to be the same large format as Viz's earlier box set, but the seven volumes are being bound as two this time. It's $60, but I noticed Amazon is offering a steep discount, so I'll add another splurge: Nickolai Dante: Sympathy for the Devil ($29.99), a story that ran in 2000AD. I saw artist Simon Fraser describe it at NYCC this way: "Nikolai Dante is a swashbuckling hero from the far, far future, the year 2666, where he is alternately working for and against the czar, and for his own family and against his family, and in the meantime trying to get as drunk and screw as many women as he possibly can." Sold!
Felipe Smith is unique in the manga world: He is an American manga artist working — and being published — in Japan. His three-volume series Peepo Choo was serialized in Kodansha's Morning Two magazine and then was licensed by Vertical for English-language release. Smith was born in Akron, Ohio, raised in Argentina, attended the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and was living in Los Angeles when he drew his first graphic novel MBQ for Tokyopop, so he is truly a man of the world. He is between projects at the moment, but he implied that he has several pitches with different editors, and I'm quite sure we have not heard the last of him.
Smith was one of the invited guests at MangaNEXT, where I interviewed him in company with another journalist, although "interview" is an overstatement — it was more like taking dictation, with the occasional question thrown in as a prompt. So I'll dispense with the questions, which were little more than starting points, and just let Felipe do the talking.
Japanese manga has been coming to American shores for decades, and as the children who read those grew up, they wanted to see where it all began. A number of American artists have made their way to Japan following the path of manga, from Paul Pope to recent successes like Takeshi Miyazawa and Felipe Smith. And while many Japanese manga fans have a very specific idea of who can do manga and who can't, a Japanese museum is bringing that question to the forefront.
In the upcoming exhibit "Manga Style – North America," the Kyoto International Manga Museum will display the works of three American manga-ka for a month beginning Jan. 5. Miyazawa and Smith will be joined by TOKYOPOP alum Svetlana Chmakova to show off their work — the first time North American art has ever been displayed at the museum.
Smith and Miyezawa are both full-time residents of Japan now, and will be part of a panel held at the museum with manga editor Eijiro Shimada to talk about manga and manga-style works on Jan. 14.
Creators | Dan Parent discusses an upcoming Archie storyline that will bring Valerie Brown from Josie and the Pussycats to Riverdale, causing sparks to once again fly: "The fans can expect the next step in what I think is the most romantic story in Archie history. The chemistry between Archie and Valerie was hot the first time they got together, and now you've really got to see it simmer, all the way from the rekindling of their romance to getting much more serious than we've seen before." [USA Today]
Editorial cartoons | Cartoonist Jeff Stahler has resigned from The Columbus Dispatch following accusations that he lifted ideas from other cartoons, including one that ran in The New Yorker. [Poynter]
The manga publisher Vertical, Inc., is bringing Felipe Smith, the creator of Peepo Choo, to SDCC and Otakon this year. Smith, an American, started out drawing global manga (MBQ) for Tokyopop. He moved to Japan after
winning the top prize the Morning International Manga Competition, being offered the opportunity to draw a manga for Kodansha's manga magazine Morning 2.* The result is Peepo Choo, the three-volume story of a foreigner's adventures in Japan, and Vertical is closing the circle by publishing Peepo Choo in English—the first volume is due out this week. The press release (full text below the cut) notes in passing that Smith is developing a new manga for Kodansha, so the relationship must be working out.
As if that weren't incentive enough to visit Vertical's booth, they will also be announcing their new licenses at SDCC, although they don't have a panel. I chat with Vertical's marketing director Ed Chavez fairly often—I have known him since he was blogging at MangaCast—and I'm quite sure that whatever he has to announce, it will be remarkable. And for those who prefer the cute, they will have some adorable Chi's Sweet Home swag, tying in with their new all-ages book about a lost cat adopted by a family in a pet-free apartment complex.

|Brooklyn Cyclones & Staten Island Yankees
The Cyclones play in Coney Island, right off the Boardwalk, home plate facing the ocean. I went their first season in honor of a late uncle who was one of those Brooklyn old-timers who turned his back on baseball when the Dodgers abandoned them for LA. My best memory is the cap I bought. Didn't even realize it had Brooklyn spelled in tiny letters across the brim until someone else noticed it.
Then a good buddy, a Yankee fan all his life, started going to the Staten Island Yankees when the uptown version got way too expensive. (Also easier for him to get his 90-something Dad out there than all the way up to the Bronx.) He started celebrating his b'day there, renting a "luxury box" for $20 per person, including free food, AC indoors and 20 seats outside. The free food is what you'd expect for free, but you can also order other stuff if you want to defeat the mood of the minor league experience. Gorgeous stadium, looks like something from a small town from another era, and the outfield is the view of downtown Manhattan. (Occasionally blocked by a slow-moving trawler.) A short, easy walk from the Staten Island Ferry (now free both ways).
Got to go to the game when Mike O'Neill was playing for the SI Yankees (the "Baby Bombers")and Pat Biondi for the visiting Cyclones (though he didn't get on the field that night). But also have been there on Irish night (bagpipe & drum team and teenage stepdancers), and almost every night has a special commemorative cap and fireworks after the game.

|There are actually several kinds of dementia
And when old people show dementia, most people (including too many doctors) assume it's Alzheimer's and there's nothing you can do. Some dementias in the elderly are from reversible causes, like medications or interaction of meds, so it's good to find out.
They're learning more about Alzheimer's, but as of now no effective treatments. But the original "Alzheimer's" was early-onset dementia as described by Alzheimer and named for him. The name is now used for what used to be call "senile dementia" -- because the brain findings are the same. But why it shows up in younger people is still in question.

|But is it wise to drink and drive?
The discussion here seems mostly about what's legal or not or why it should be legal or not. If you are a truck driver for a living, an employer or prospective employer might be worried to hire someone who was heavy drinker, not trusting the person to drive sober. (Don't know the legalities of the hiring process here, just for discussion.)
I also don't know enough about the science behind the "altered state" that makes weed so attractive, but what about a kid's responsibility to his team? Can an athlete compete effectively in said altered state? Are his reaction times and concentration diminished? They're supposed to keep up their physical training so they're fast enough and strong enough to compete. Why shouldn't they be required to keep their mental state crisp and ready as well?
Food is legal, but a coach has the right to advise a player with a weight problem to work on controlling it, to choose what and when and how much he eats. If a player doesn't show an effort to change behavior that might be detrimental to the success or chemistry of a team, or his own success as an athlete, it doesn't matter that it's a free country and over-eating is legal. If the kid chooses food over team, he has chosen it over the privilege of playing.

|Why Gordie Howe is close to my heart
Not that I ever knew him. In fact, I knew nothing about hockey growing up (in Michigan), and I knew almost nothing about professional sports when I first moved to New York.
I was at a party playing Trivial Pursuit, on a team with two guys, so I planned on deferring all sports questions to them. The lawyer missed a question about a famous lawyer. The painter missed a question about an artist (I think he was a bit plastered by then). Our next question was "What team did Gordie Howe play for?" The two guys, both New Yorkers, looked at each other blankly. But I, a silly girl knowing nothing about hockey [then], recognized the name and somehow knew he played hockey. So he must have played for the Red Wings, right? How else could his name be embedded in my brain?
I got the question right. The entire table turned to me in shock. I had established some legitimacy and respect in my new home, and I loved all things Gordie Howe ever since.

|Fortunately the event scoring is tons better than it used to be
What I was talking about above was only the point system for making the US team which is matter of fact based on the placement. The scoring of events themselves used to be so subjective it was like a strike zone moving from pitch to pitch or somebody being called for targeting and kicked out of the game, and we can see from replay they're full of-- But I digress.
Skating and gymnastics used to be as frustrating, and now known to be pretty corrupt in the past. They've made great efforts to make it more scientific, which is still pretty weird with skating when there's "artistic" score as well as "technical" score. People have different theories of what's artistic.
In gymnastics (at least for men), they've made great strides for objective judging, with two separate panels: one judges the difficulty and one the execution, and the two scores are combined. Execution means he got over the bar, but were his legs completely together when he was in the air with his toes pointed, did he stick his landing or do a hop, skip and jump? (Demerits for stepping out of bounds are separate.) Did the guy on rings do the difficult skill while managing to keep the rings still? Yes, he did the skill, but he was swinging and that lowers the execution. They have all the routines on their laptops and can look for those little tiny things that take off a mini-point or two and discuss and compare.
It's hard for most of us to watch and determine why one guy's routine looked perfect but was scored much lower than someone else's, but that's because we don't understand that their skills were much easier. There are standard points for each skill, and the judges have the planned routine in front of them and can see if it was completed or only partly completed or totally f'd up. The difficulty score goes down from the posted possible total. Now that I've watched more gymnastics and listen to the commentary, I wouldn't be able to score myself, but I can get a pretty good idea of the range of the score, and the comparison between routines seems pretty fair. (Coaches can always challenge, and the judges go back to the laptops and look for evidence.) Sam's high bar routine above had some glitches, so he didn't get the full possible execution score, but it had such a high start value that he was still happy. His first day he was way ahead of the crowd going into his last routine, one that had lots of beautiful execution and difficult, but he made several very uncharacteristic (and obvious) oops-es and ended the first day in second.
PS: Seeing it live makes it all make more sense. And more exciting. These guys are scary good on a simply scary level of competition. And all of them fall now and then, and all of them can ruin a great score by a big step on the landing.

|They have a complicated method of scoring
but yes, the results of this competition carry over to the trials. The all-around scores determine the winner of an individual competition, but there's a separate points total that figures into team placement. Not sure of the exact number, but points are given for being in 1st, 2nd or 3rd in an event. I think if you're 1st or 2nd in 3 separate events and finish high enough in the all-around you're an automatic lock.
The first 18 in the points total from this competition made the national team and move on, but there are guys whose all-around totals may have been higher than some who made the team because they didn't place high enough in individual events to get the necessary points.

Beyond White Pasta
White pasta can spike blood sugarine and lead to an increasing risk of weight gain, Type 2 diabetes and other health issues. So demeanour no serve if you're acid for a few healthy alternatives to white pasta, since U.S. News Health Wellness contributor K. Aleisha Fetters has some suggestions: Why not try whole-wheat pasta, quinoa pasta, buckwheat noodles, sprouted-grain pasta, spelt pasta or brown-rice pasta instead? "Luckily, a some-more feverishness white pasta receives from critics, a some-more food manufacturers work to adult their alternative-pasta diversion with whole grains, heart-healthy fiber, stuffing protein, and some-more vitamins and minerals than you'll find in a salad," she wrote. That is lucky!

A organisation of open health and sustainability experts argued final week in a biography Science that they should — echoing a recommendation done by a sovereign advisory cabinet of nutritionists in April. But lawmakers and administration officials apparently disagree. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack and Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell announced Tuesday that a updated dietary discipline to be expelled in Dec will not cruise environmental sustainability — that would have permitted a diet with fewer animal-based foods. Some congressmen, who had argued that sustainability was outward a guidelines' scope, cheered a preference on Wednesday.

text: I stand on Herb Greenberg's sturdy shoulders in warning investors to be careful, very careful, about shares of security-software company VeriSign ( VRSN). VeriSign's shares have been tumbling of late on concerns that the rest of the security-software segment is coming unglued. Never mind the 52-week high of $214.38 -- that's a relic of a bygone era. VeriSign's shares, at Wednesday's close of $47.24, are down 25% from their recent high of $63.22 earlier this month. Even so, VeriSign trades for about 75 times Wall Street's estimates of this year's earnings. Nearly the entire Street is defending VeriSign and its subscription (and therefore predictable) revenue model. But the fact remains that the company's growth is dependent on continued big spending in corporate IT departments for its security business, and continued expansion of Internet usage for its domain-name registry and registrar businesses. UBS Warburg analyst Jordan Klein, a VeriSign bull, suggests one key metric all investors should watch when VeriSign reports. He forecasts deferred revenue will rise 8% sequentially to $584 million. This figure is key. Because VeriSign collects cash that it books as revenue over time, the deferred revenue figure points to how business is going now -- and forecasts future revenue. If sequential deferred revenue growth is anything less than 4%, Klein suggests, investors won't be happy.

The Oregon State Beavers have completed their 2014 non-conference football schedule with the addition of the Portland State Vikings, the school announced today.
Oregon State will open the 2014 season against Portland State at home on August 30. OSU leads the overall series 3-0.
The following week (09/06), the Beavers will travel to Honolulu to face the Hawaii Warriors. The two schools have met eight times with Oregon State holding a 5-3 advantage. In their last meeting in 2008, the Beavers trounced the Warriors 45-7 in Corvallis.
OSU's final non-conference game in 2014 is at home on September 20 against the San Diego State Aztecs. SDSU leads the series against OSU 2-1. The teams haven't played since a 35-3 win for the Beavers in 2000.
The Beavers do not plan on playing a 13th game in 2014, which is allowed due to the Hawaii Exemption. The NCAA rule states that any team traveling to play in Hawaii may play an extra game to offset travel costs.
I am so tired of playing lower division teams. What's wrong with playing big 10, big 12 or sec? We've decided to pass on all pre season games this year and next year because it's not worth the ticket prices. Okay, maybe the first game of the season to see where you are but 3!

I've seen this question rise here and there a few times, but I never found and answer I was happy with.
From Wikipedia:
Builder focuses on constructing a complex object step by step. Abstract Factory emphasizes a family of product objects (either simple or complex). Builder returns the product as a final step, but as far as the Abstract Factory is concerned, the product gets returned immediately.
But to the client isn't it the same thing? He gets the full object once it's built, so to him there is no added functionality.
The only way I see it is as a way or organizing the constructor code in steps, to force a structure for the implementation of the builders. Which is nice, but hardly a great step from the abstract factory.
This next bit from Wikipedia is a good reference to get to my point:
Often, designs start out using Factory Method (less complicated, more customizable, subclasses proliferate) and evolve toward Abstract Factory, Prototype, or Builder (more flexible, more complex) as the designer discovers where more flexibility is needed.
If that's so, what kind of complexity would have to be introduced in your system where you would change from a Abstract Factory to a Builder?
My point is that I can't find and example where it's clear that an Abstract Factory won't suffice and you would need a Builder instead.

The model consists of a pyramid with the five dysfunctions of a team (from the bottom, up):
1) Absence of trust: stemming from an unwillingness in the team members to be vulnerable and genuinely open up with one another about their mistakes and weaknesses.
2) Fear of conflict: inability to engage in unfiltered, passionate (yet constructive, though it may strike you as odd) debate.
3) Lack of commitment: no buy in and commitment can be expected when ideas and opinions have not been aired and genuinely taken into consideration prior to a decision.
4) Avoidance of accountability: without commitment to a clearly defined set of goals, team members will hesitate to call their colleagues on their actions and behaviors that are counterproductive for the team.
5) Inattention to results: Lencioni brings it all home through the realization that avoidance of accountability leads to a state where team members tend to put their individual needs above the team's collective goals.
Throughout the last leg of his book, Lencioni contrasts how dysfunctional teams behave by comparing them to a cohesive team in the case of each of the five dysfunctions. He also provides suggestions on overcoming each of the dysfunctions and insights into the role of the leader in this process, all in a very structured and to-the-point way.Read more ›
As I read this book I discovered:
1. A vocabulary I can use with my team to discuss dysfunction.
2. A self-analysis that will get the discussion started.
3. A clear model for implementation.
As a team leader, this book challenged me to:
1) Lead selflessly
2) Take risks
3) Encourage conflict
4) Embrace the power of meetings
4) Direct my team around a common theme
This book is simple, practical and filled with wisdom. Highly recommended.
Summary - A start up has just hired a new CEO, an older woman with operational experience in bricks-and-mortar companies where she had to deal with a dysfunctional team, including one especially venomous worker.
The framework of the 5 Dysfunctions:
* The first dysfunction is an Absence of Trust. This happens when team members are not open with one another about their mistakes and weaknesses.
* This sets the tone for the second dysfunction - The Fear of Conflict. Teams that lack trust are unable to engage in unfiltered and passionate debate of ideas. Instead they resort to veiled discussions and guarded comments.
* The lack of healthy conflict is a problem because leads to the third dysfunction - Lack of Commitment. Without having aired their opinions in the course of passionate and open debate, team members, rarely, if ever buy in and commit to decisions, though they may feign agreement during meetings.
* Because of this lack of commitment, team members develop the fourth dysfunction - Avoidance of Accountability. Without committing to a clear plan of action, even the most focused and driven people often hesitate to call their peers on actions and behaviors that seem counterproductive to the good of the team.
* Failure to hold one another accountable create an environment that leads to the fifth dysfunction - Inattention to Results, which can thrive where individuals put their needs (ego, career development, or recognition) above that of the team.Read more ›
The organization of "Five Dysfunctions" is as follows. The bulk of the book comprises of an extended fictitious example of a dysfunctional group, and slowly works through the underlying principles. These principles are then succinctly presented in the last few pages of the book, along with further analysis and suggestions on implementation. This organization allows the principles to slowly sink in through the book, but then gives the reader a very focused section the use for later reference and review.
A great strength of the book is that it avoids the all-too-frequent tendency of creating tension and then resolving it more quickly than would happen in real life. Reading the story gives you a sense of the effort needed to work through the dysfunctions of a team. The tools are presented to the reader, but without the illusion of a quick fix. Rather, "Five Dysfunctions" gives a simple message that inspires, energizes, and creates a vision of hope for how thing could be in a team.
One "a-ha" experience I had while reading this book is that some of the teams I have been on - teams where we all got along just fine - shared at least some of the five dysfunctions which made them less than effective.Read more ›

Good movie!
Even though, it took the movie forever to get to the store. I truly enjoyed the movie it didn't seem like a typical love story I could definitely relate.
I just recently saw this for the first time and I was in love with it right away. It shows how truly hard it can be to keep a relationship going and just how strong you have to be sometimes. I love that about this movie. And the acting was pretty good as well. Sanna and Wesley really did a great job with this one. great buy.
I love this movie, I've search every where for this movie, and something had told me to check out Walmart. When I visit the store, they search and nothing, so I went home online and found it....
This move depicts the true up ands downs of a relationship and how hard it is to make love work. It stole my heart
I loved this move when it first came out. this move always take me back when I had same of the love problems with my daughter father:O) but he did not come back and thats was a good thing. :o)
Ive been hunting for this movie for yrears .My order was ready for pick up within 30 minutes I had a wonderful day off watching a classic
Nice flick, motivational and lots of love, I truly enjoyed it,
not a wesley snipes fan, but this movie is great.

The Sri Lanka Reader is a sweeping introduction to the epic history of the island nation located just off the southern tip of India. The island's recorded history of more than two and a half millennia encompasses waves of immigration from the South Asian subcontinent, the formation of Sinhala Buddhist and Tamil Hindu civilizations, the arrival of Arab Muslim traders, and European colonization by the Portuguese, then the Dutch, and finally the British. Selected texts depict perceptions of the country's multiple linguistic and religious communities, as well as its political travails after independence in 1948, especially the ethnic violence that recurred from the 1950s until 2009, when the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam were defeated by the Sri Lankan government's armed forces. This wide-ranging anthology covers the aboriginal Veddhas, the earliest known inhabitants of the island; the Kings of Kandy, Sri Lanka's last indigenous dynasty; twenty-first-century women who leave the island to work as housemaids in the Middle East; the forty thousand Sri Lankans killed by the tsunami in December 2004; and, through cutting-edge journalism and heart-wrenching poetry, the protracted violence that has scarred the country's contemporary political history. Along with fifty-four images of paintings, sculptures, and architecture, The Sri Lanka Reader includes more than ninety classic and contemporary texts written by Sri Lankans and foreigners.

Former US defence secretary Robert Gates has shocked the world with revelations about President Barack Obama's attitude to wars and views on the military. As if the troubles walloping Obama in his second term were not enough, the former Pentagon chief's revelations are likely to give fodder to Republicans to attack Obama in a no-holds-barred way. In the book, Duty: Memoirs of a Secretary at War, Gates tears into his commander in chief's approach to the troop surge in Afghanistan. The president was "sceptical if not outright convinced it would fail," the former Pentagon chief writes.
Obama's decision to 30,000 more troops into Afghanistan, it has to be recalled, was a highly controversial one. "I never doubted Obama's support for the troops, only his support for their mission," Gates says. The memoirs, which have become a rallying point for anti-war activists and supporters of the theory that Washington's military muddle in Iraq and Afghanistan were best avoided, come not much after the government was at the receiving end of criticism for the failed launch of the Obamacare website. Coming as it does when the Western hemisphere has not completely come out of the Christmas holiday mood, the 594-page book has set the cat among the pigeons. Wars and invasions have been the most contentious subject in US foreign policy. From Vietnam to Iraq to Afghanistan and now the drones, Washington's war policy has been largely responsible for contributing to alienation and despair.
During his tenure at the top of Pentagon, Gates was seen as the most mild-mannered and even tempered official the US security establishment had come across. However, his tirade against Obama belies that image.
In the memoir, Gates says that his image was deceptive. He was often angry and seething over what can be interpreted was his resentment at the war-related indiscretions of the US president. The revelations by Gates, a Republican by political leanings, raise the question if a US president can in the future rely on key officials who do not lean toward the party's policies.
However, Obama's reaction to Gates' war rantings in the book has been unusually calm. A terse White house statement said: "As has always been the case, the President welcomes differences of view among his national security team, which broaden his options and enhance our policies The President wishes Secretary Gates well as he recovers from his recent injury, and discusses his book." Gates hurt his neck in a fall at his home a few days ago. The memoir, at time sounds contradictory, praising Obama for his integrity and blasting him for his perceived failures. The book, to be released on
Jan 14, is like no other. In the past, some key former officials have been quite controversial in revealing what they came across during their stint in power, the "Duty" is bound to turn a new page and an unprecedented one at that•

You could have anxiety and not know it
Beyondblue says the number of people with anxiety conditions is on the rise.
- Print page
- Email this
- Permalink
The group more well known for its campaign to raise awareness about depression has turned its attention to anxiety conditions which include post traumatic stress, panic attacks, certain phobias and obsessive compulsive disorder.
Research shows 2.44 million people over 18 saying they had an anxiety condition last year, a rise of four per cent since 2008.
However it's believed many more people don't view anxiety as a serious mental health problem and dismiss their unusual behaviour.
"People simply didn't know the symptoms and they regularly thought that the symptoms were just part of their personality and not a separate condition that can be treated and that they could recover from," Beyondblue CEO Kate Carnell says.
Symptoms can include a racing heart, tight chest, breathing difficulties, hot and cold sweats, difficulty sleeping and muscle tension.
"Everyone gets those when there's a particularly stressful incident in their lives and that's fine. For most of us, it goes away the moment it's over but for people who have anxiety disorders it doesn't," Ms Carnell says.
"You'll have people who have panic attacks whenever they go near a crowded room or a supermarket or a shopping centre. Some people can't leave their homes. For people who have panic attacks, they can really feel like they are dying."
The beyondblue awareness campaign is being supported by a short film featuring Australian actor Ben Mendelsohn who becomes the personification of anxiety in an effort to encourage people to do something about it once they recognise the signs.
Ms Carnell says medication is one option to help recovery but there are many other treatments.
"You can absolutely recover from these things if you end up with the right treatments and the right methods of being able to deal with it," she says.
The film and fact sheets are available from the beyondblue website.

Ad nauseam
Ad nauseam is a Latin term for disgust that has continued so long that it has continued "to [the point of] nausea".[1][2] For example, the sentence "This topic has been discussed ad nauseam" signifies that the topic in question has been discussed extensively, and that those involved in the discussion have grown tired of it.[citation needed]
This term is defined by the American Heritage Dictionary as:[3]
Argumentum ad nauseam or argument from repetition or argumentum ad infinitum is an argument made repeatedly (possibly by different people) until nobody cares to discuss it any more. This may sometimes, but not always, be a form of proof by assertion.[3]
It is not something initially unpleasant; rather, it is something discussed to the point of being so.[3]

I don't see this the way P. Marlowe does at *all*. As I know/understand it, Russo's replacement with Gordo was planned back when Vento became CEO. As far as projected future revenue/earnings go, I see this company attempting to "manage" its stock much the same way that Apple did for so many years - namely, by deliberately keeping their forecasts low so as to ensure a more steady upward stock climb when actual earnings increases are released; in any event, price is actually *up* on today's news.
I use Magic Jack at my home, office and Beachhouse. The call clarity is just as good as Ma bell. I have only had one problem 1.5 years at my home and it was fixed in a half a day. Did you know how much money I save every year? Lots! Try it you will not regret it. MagicJack wireless will be out in two weeks with lots of ports, I plan on buying a few to replace the ones I have.

Im in the process of making a flag for my house with the word warrior sown on it to remind my family that god is a warrior fighting for my family and I every day. I hope to hand it down to my daughter when she is older and until then she will see it every day and know what he has done for her and what he is going to do for her.
Here is a link to the song that gave me inspiration. The Village Church Represent! haha
*I will upload the finished product once its complete. Thanks guys and gals!
