Creche Clash: Religious Right Launches Another Bogus Persecution Claim
Yesterday was the 350th anniversary of the hanging of two Quakers by the Puritan establishment in Massachusetts Bay Colony.
William Robinson and Marmaduke Stevenson had come from England in 1656 to escape religious persecution. But on Oct. 27, 1659, they became the first Quakers in America to be executed because of their religious beliefs.
These men paid with their lives for merely wanting to practice their own faith. Now that is religious intolerance and persecution to the extreme.

Affliction: Car Accident
Every week, people visiting Gillette Family Resource Center are greeted by Maryama Abubakar-Green. She volunteers to help patients and their families access the Internet, educational books and audiovisual materials. She also shares with visitors the ultimate resource—the story of her real-life experience at Gillette Children's Specialty Healthcare.
Maryama, 9, and her family were on their way home to St. Paul, Minn., from California when they were in a serious car accident. Besides receiving several internal injuries and broken bones from the crash, Maryama's spinal cord was completely severed. She spent three months in the hospital, followed by months of physical and occupational therapy. In addition to volunteering weekly at the hospital, she periodically visits an orthopedist and a rehabilitation medicine specialist.
The support and healing provided by the specialists at her hospital helped Maryama bounce back and resume many of her pre-accident activities. She's a top student and also participates in wheelchair basketball, track and field, skiing and swimming.
"She makes things happen," said Maryama's mother, Anne Abubakar-Green. "She doesn't harbor any resentment about what happened to her—her attitude is one that we can all learn from."

Keep riding fun.
The Ride Kids' Lowride Snowboard equips smaller riders with the soft, progression-friendly flex needed to rise the ranks from bunny hill blazer to blue-square slayer. By keeping the board as easy to ride and low-maintenance as possible, the Lowride keeps the stoke factor at an all-time high when they're just dipping toes into the shred waters.
Its twin shape rides equally well both regular and switch, which is especially useful when they're trying out both regular and goofy stances on those first learning days. The LowRize Rocker instills confidence for carving without catching an edge and paying the consequences. The board's large flat section along the running length provides predictable turning and straight-line tracking.
Inside the board, the Gummy Core and biax fiberglass maximize forgiveness for easy-turning bliss. P-tex sidewalls ramp up durability for progressing riders taking bails on a regular basis. Additionally, the Fusion 1500 base glides quickly across widely variable conditions without requiring much fuss throughout the course of the season.

My First Job: 'Arrested Development' Star Jessica Walter
From playing a woman with borderline personality disorder opposite Clint Eastwood in his directorial debut "Play Misty for Me," to her role as demanding mother Lucille Bluth in "Arrested Development," film and television actress Jessica Walter has been in show business for 49 years.
But she didn't start out there.
Born in Brooklyn, New York, the 72-year-old actress entered the working world on a different kind of stage.
Having attended Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School, the institution which inspired the "Fame" films, Walter often found herself accompanying friends on all sorts of auditions.
"In my senior year of high school summer, I auditioned by accident to be a copa girl at the Copacabana nightclub. I went into Manhattan, accompanied by a girlfriend who was a dancer and I ended up getting the job she auditioned for. She never spoke to me again," Walter told the Journal.
The year was 1958 and the summer proved to be unforgettable for Walter.
"It was quite an experience, the nightclub world. I never even been in the nightclub and this was the nightclub. There was Joey Bishop and Andy Williams and Mort Sahl. When I was there over the summer they didn't get the huge acts. But it was just a whole piece of show business different than the theaters," said Walter.
She made $215 dollars per week, but only worked at the Copacabana for that summer. And although the performances were memorable, Walter found greater enjoyment in the pre-production process.
"We would go to this place called Larry Hairdressing on 57th between 6th and 7th. We go with our hair down and get an up-sweep with a Grace Kelly twist for the shows. We would go every single day right before we went to work at 7 pm, and on the weekends before we had a 2pm show," said the actress.
She chose to save the money, unlike her current character on "Arrested Development."
"I had a bank account and it was so exciting to see your little thing grow. I didn't spend it. I saved. I'm not into jewelry and clothing, only my characters. I live vicariously through my characters," she added.
And it wasn't just the money she got out of the gig.
"The people that I met and the whole experience was just, I do think it enriched my knowledge show business, of performing in a way that's just so different to film and TV."
"Arrested Development" is available on Netflix.

Their live concerts are legendary.

This right here is the BEST post in Tyrian Assembly. A lot of people need to sit down, shut up, read this post and think before they type.
That post goes both ways. I'm more than willing to sit down and think. Yes, I agree that the infusion is questionable. No, I don't think it was necessary to improve the stats on Ascended items. I am willing to hold my tongue until something, IE the patch itself, to make judgments. But, those that complain need also to heed this advice. Don't just say, "THEY LIED TO ME" and point at comments made early in development. What about the comments Anet made revising their stance, and their explanations for doing so? Don't just say, "ANET IS RUINING THE GAME" without first playing the content to objectively point out why the game was ruined. When the patch does come out tomorrow, and it turns out Anet utterly and completely destroyed the game as it was meant to be, hey, I'll be here complaining to. Until then, I'll reserve my judgment and say that the game Anet has released has provided me with hours of entertainment, and I'll be playing for the foreseeable future.

As Nick already pointed out, I am presenting this month at the Pacific Northwest Delphi Users Group. This is based partially on my CodeRage presentation from earlier this year, but since it will be a live presentation I'll do a lot of the demos based on audience questions and suggestions, so it could go in a whole new direction.

Advanced File Transfers with HTTP and FTP
Presented by Jim McKeeth
Ever transfer a file via HTTP or FTP? That is easy with Delphi and Indy, but what if you want to resume a broken download, only download part of the file, or download the same file from multiple servers? Now things get a little more interesting. This month's PNW DUG focus on advanced file transfers with HTTP and FTP, and if we are lucky a little Microsoft Background Intelligent Transfer Service or BITS (used for windows update.)
Jim McKeeth, who recently relocated to the Pacific North West from the Boise Idaho area to work for WideOrbit, will be presenting. Before moving here, Jim was the 7 year president of the Boise Software Developers Group and Camp Director at the Boise Code Camp. He also presented at BorCon, CodeRage, and is scheduled to present again at the upcoming CodeRage II. In addition to presenting, he is also a co-contributor to the book /Building Web Applications with ADO.NET and XML Web Services/ for the chapter on consuming .NET Web Services on Linux with Kylix.

YORK, Maine — Three local brothers known to police were arrested Monday, Oct. 21 after police responded to a domestic violence dispute at 154 Cape Neddick Road.
Police went to the residence at 6:44 a.m. Monday and during the investigation determined the male in the domestic incident had struck his wife and fled on foot to avoid officers. He was later identified as James Cahill, 27, 11B David Road, East Waterboro.
During a search of the home they found Cahill's brothers, Joseph Cahill, 26, and Joshua Cahill, 24, both of 35 York St., York, and charged each with consuming alcohol in violation of their bail conditions.
York, Ogunquit and Maine State Police with the K-9 unit searched for James Cahill in a marsh where he had fled, according to police. They found him in the woods close to the Cape Neddick Road home, wet and wearing no shoes. He was charged with domestic violence assault and was also issued a warrant for failure to pay fines.
All three brothers were transported to York County Jail in Alfred.

Jossi Wells soars through the air, acrobatically twisting his body, before landing neatly on the soft spring snow.
Swishing to a stop at the bottom of the giant Cardrona Alpine Resort halfpipe, he adjusts his black Oakley sunglasses and flashes that unmistakeable Hollywood-like smile.
In the chilly South Island mountain air, there's a barbecue cooking and music pumping from the stereo loudspeaker. Wells, the 21-year-old Kiwi freeski superstar from Wanaka, jokes with friends and family there to watch him train.
A video camera follows him everywhere. Before hopping on a lift - recently named after his family - for another training run, Wells rattles off a soundbite of commentary like a pro.
Just as launching himself from gravity-defying ski jumps to dizzying heights is second nature for Wells so, too, is his connection with the camera. He's had years of practice, after all.
And next week, his high-flying life on film will be offered to audiences worldwide when a 52-minute documentary on the freeski prodigy and the three younger brothers following in his footsteps is launched internationally.
Winter of Wells tells the story of how Wells and his siblings, Byron, 19, Beau-James, 15, and Jackson, 13, have risen from humble beginnings to become international action sports heroes.
It's the culmination of three years of filming regular webisodes by the same name for the internet.
But the more basic web videos, in which his gruelling tricks and jumps feature heavily, showed only glimpses of who Wells really is.
As he prepares to see the film for the first time at the world premiere in Austria on Tuesday, the prospect of having his secrets laid bare is "definitely scary".
"It's like, 'here's my life everyone'," Wells says. "People who have followed me have followed me because of my skiing and that's kind of almost it, I believe. Now, with the doco, it's so personal."
Little wonder, then, that there's heightened interest in the Wanaka heart-throb who drives a late-model Audi A4 and bought his own swanky three-bedroom apartment in the resort by the time he turned 20.
He was a 2011 Halberg Awards best sportsman finalist - alongside All Blacks' captain and eventual winner Richie McCaw - but it's taken a while for him to become a household name in New Zealand.
Yet, in the United States, Wells has moved beyond being skifield royalty.
This year, he featured among the neon of New York's Times Square on a huge billboard advertising headphones by Skullcandy. His face was part of a campaign that included rapper Snoop Dogg. Wu-Tang Clan's chief producer, RZA, has even remixed Wells in a track for a Nike 6.0 ad.
"As much as there's this business side of it, I'm still the kid who froths on going skiing every day," he insists.
Behind the scenes capturing the story is Wells' boyhood friend and award-winning action sports cinematographer Tim Pierce.
Pierce, 24, was right beside Wells to film when he won his second X Games silver medal last year, when he got his bronze at X Games the same year, when he was crowned 2010's overall world freeski champion - and everything between.
Spending so much time together, Pierce is probably the most qualified person to independently vouch for Wells.
"He hasn't changed at all," Pierce says. "I guess as he's become more famous, he has to think about things in a different light and perhaps decision-making has become increasingly important."
Wells interjects that he's "still the same kid who played his violin outside New World to make money".
Flash back 10 years and Wells was barely able to scrape up enough cash to buy himself a new skateboard or skate shoes. The Wells boys don't come from a wealthy family who forked out megabucks for their expensive sport.
Parents Bruce and Stacey worked at Cardrona Alpine Resort in the winter (Bruce as an instructor and Stacey in the creche) and the kids all learned on rickety sets of ex-rental skis fished out of the rubbish. Wells got his first pair, aged 2.
"Dad would restore them so we could use them the following season," Wells recalls.
"Mum and Dad found any way they could to supply us with the things we needed to do the things we wanted."
Wells attended primary school for two years before Stacey, a qualified teacher, decided she would teach the boys at home.
As the kids got better at skiing, home-schooling proved the better option to accommodate travelling up to 11 months a year.
Chasing winter seasons with his coach father and younger brothers while Stacey stayed at home, Wells really got noticed after winning the European Open halfpipe event at 16. In 2008, as the youngest competitor in the field, Wells won his first X Games silver - and the pay cheques and sponsorship came flooding in.
"I'm being watched everywhere I go - whether it be on the internet, on the mountain or in town - I notice people's eyes on me. That was definitely a hard thing to get used to."
Relaxing on a big leather couch in his meticulous apartment, Wells doesn't look like a typical 21-year-old. Articulate and stylishly-dressed, the eligible bachelor wears a 3.2 total carat diamond and white gold necklace in the shape of an M, a gift to him from sponsor Monster Energy Drink.
On the walls are artworks that he painted and a stylised "JW" personal logo made by a friend. A custom-painted 1995 Yamaha 250cc motorbike is in the garage.
Wealth and fame are by-products of his success on the slopes, but that's not where his attention lies. "You've got to focus on doing your job well and that stuff will come."
Wells credits family, Christian faith and his home town for keeping him grounded.
"It's like that Beatles song - 'it's a fool who plays it cool by making his world a little colder'. I mean, skiing's not going to last forever.
"I can't be a 30-year-old dude who has no friends because I thought I was too cool when I was younger."
Wells' next big goal is to win gold at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Russia after freeskiing became an official sport earlier this year.
"New Zealand hasn't had a medal at the Winter Olympics for a long time so it would be great to be that guy who does it for New Zealand."
But, for now, he's jetting off to Austria for the Winter of Wells red-carpet premiere before competing at a big air event in London next week.
"I'm living my dream. I try to make the most of it."

Post subject: Positive test three days ago and just getting over shock!!
Hi everyone! Well, the subject line says it all! Unplanned and a bit earlier than I would have planned for, too, but there it was!
I had a niggling feeling I might be pregnant for the first time last thursday, and the niggle wouldn't go. I was late for my period by at least 4 days (hard to tell, because I had only come off the pill about 6 months earlier following my wedding so still unsure if totally regular) and had an odd, metallic taste in my mouth but no other symptoms. Oddly, though, I had found myself wanting to find out about pregnancy and developing babies on the weds and thurs out of the blue; never had an urge to do that before. My husband was at work last Friday; I was at home. I knew in the morning that the only way to put my niggle to rest was to test for pregnancy, so I secretly planned to purchase a test from pharmacy at some point but held off for most of the day. I rang the fpa to discuss and had a haircut first! I bought a twin, own brand test pack, then bought lunch which I ate at home before doing the test! I was stunned; just staring at the result window after three mins had passed - I had put the test face down while it developed because I didn't want to see - and when I gathered enough courage to turn it over, there it was! A positive! And then I cried. We had said that if I should fall pregnant, then it would be ok following the wedding, but we hadn't planned for this now and I felt shocked, scared, like it was not really happening. I remember putting my hand to my mouth and my head was racing.
I decided the best thing to do was take another test in the morning, when hormone more concentrated, to double check. Then, I took my test result and went to the local pharmacy, where I asked to have a private word with the pharmacist in her little booth and I showed her the test! I was shaking and stammering my words, but I just wanted someone to confirm the result; someone who could see the cross too. I remember saying "you see it too, right? There's a cross, isn't there?" I remember tears - not sobs - and the lady put her hand on mine and said "yes, it's a miracle, isn't it? Congratulations". I then made an appointment with the doctor and saw him within the hour. He wanted me to give a urine sample that will be sent off to the lab for testing, even though I took my test with me as proof. I'm still waiting for the official result because of the weekend, but I would be surprised if it was disproved. Only just starting to feel happy and excited today now shock is wearing off, I think. Told husband on the Friday, after coming home from doctors. He just gave me a kiss and a hug and I told him all about my day. The following morning, I re-tested with my husband present, and we waited and looked together to see another positive result. I still wonder whether i should test agian with another brand, now I'm feeling calmer, just to see!
According to dates, doc said I am likely to be 6 weeks pregnant, but personally I think it's closer to 4 because of when we had intercourse! I think. Will there be a time when I know more accurately how pregnant I am?

Bohemian Road to Classy Life
Posted by Shreve & Co. at 12:00:00 AM in David Yurman (26)
It sounds contradictory, but David Yurman did it.
Today his name is a trademark of classy jewelries, timepieces and precious metal and stone accessories. But back in the 50s to 60s, he was a beatnik artist living the free-spirited scene of his time in Big Sur, California. In this artist colony, he was perfecting his sculpting skills that he had learned earlier as an apprentice of renowned artists Jacques Lipshitz and Theodore Rozack. Nurtured by the bohemian's fundamental approach to life, Yurman turned to ordinary things for inspiration and brought them to their artistic plateau. He would later move out of the bohemian scene and start his studio, where he would meet his wife, a gifted painter. Together, they would go around galleries with their creations. The story goes that in one of these events, a gallery owner took notice of Yurman's creation worn by his wife and wanted to buy it. Realizing they could make a brand out of their crafts, they started Putnam Art Works to create personal fine crafts, a decision that would one day lead them to an accessory that set his signature brand worldwide: the David Yurman's iconic cable bracelet, a weave of gold and silver. Today, the same stylish brand is reflected in other David Yurman line of fine jewelries and pieces, a luxury in simplicity.

what street legal car will beat a underground racing 2011 gallardo. As far as i know i havent seen a car faster than it. I beaten a bugatti. and now i wonder what can actually beat it? anyone know?
33 Answers
you know what,i think beating a bugatti is kind of to much fiction so i think you did not beat a bugatti and bugatti can beat a gallardo.
Actually your wrong. just think about this. A bugatti super sport is the worlds fastest car. for now. Secondly it goes 0-60 in about 2.2 seconds also has 1200hp so about 900ish whp to the wheels. An Underground racing tuned lamborghini gallardo goes 0-60 in about 2.0 seconds and is pushing on 93 octane 1400hp and 1050whp(FYI- whp is wheel horse power or what u are actually putting on the ground). so the lamborghini has 100+ more hp than the bugatti ss. also the bugatti ss weights 3400 pounds and the tuned gallardo weights 2700 pounds, well around that. so it weights around 500 pounds less with 100+whp more. when i raced one it was just the normal veyron so it is pushing 700whp. weights 3600pounds and was stock. it took it 3 or so miles to reach 200 while it took me less than a mile. the gallardo can get from 0-200 in 16.4 seconds and it takes the bugatti 24.6 seconds to reach 200. this is why i asked is there any car than can beat it. but when u say a bugatti can beat a gallardo, yes it can if both were stock but im not talking about a stock gallardo, i am talking about a twin turbo 1875hp (on c16 race fuel) lamborghini.
my bad actually the UGR gallardo weights 2300pounds, so 1000 pounds less than a bugatti.
oh ya forgot to say the normal bugatti veryon weights 4500 pounds. the super sport i believe weights 3600 pounds, but might weight more. so it is about half the weight.
Maybe the Koenigsegg Agera...
ya possibly idk. I dont know anyone with that car. but that car sure is nice looking.
i think this pic is of a ferrari
no dude... its a koenigsegg agera and the bugatti ss is not half the weight of the regular veyron
umm you might wanna try the koenisgegg agera r <--- brand new just came and just set the worlds fastest record from 0-300-0, confirmed by guiness world book of records http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WtlmpOKMG4
in the video his 0-300 km/h or 0-200 m/h takes about 15-16 seconds
Your missing the point here. I have a 1500whp lamborghini gallardo TT. We are not talking about other cars. First. The bugatti ss is 4200 pounds. Secondly the koeningsegg is electronically limited to 232mph. It cant go any faster and it has 1200hp. now my car, ive gotten mine up to 242 before i ran out of road, it can get to 215 in under a mile. What i am trying to look for here is a car that is FASTER than my lambo. buggatti, no, the koeningsegg, no.
First off, you have a high-boost turbo system, and probably couldn't run more than a few thousand miles on the boost required for 1,500 HP without getting a full rebuild. The Koenigsegg and, admittedly, the Bugatti (I'm not a big Bugatti fan) can run for more than 40k miles before a rebuild. Also, is top speed the only thing that matters? I think not. In a measure of actually tractable performance, I would suggest you do a 0-300-0 (in km/h). See if you can beat the Agera's time, I bet you can't. And this is still only paying attention to straight-line performance. Try going up against any Koenigsegg, any Pagani, a Caterham R500 or any Ascari on a track and you will fall far behind, no matter what boost levels you have running. Also, unlimited, the Agera would far outpace your car in pure straight-line speed because of aerodynamics. They limit it for the same reason VW limits the Bugatti, safety. And this Ford GT, along with a variety of other high-boost supercars similar to yours but faster, could beat you in straight line: http://jalopnik.com/5524786/heffner-ford-gt-sets-26693-mph-standing-mile-record This early 90's 911 has a faster mile speed than your Gallardo (236 mph): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CwlJaeKQ_k There are also a couple Supras that have faster mile speeds than your car. The 9ff GT9 is faster than your car: http://jalopnik.com/5426828/9ff-gt9+r-an-insane-257-mph-murder-machine The Hennessey Venom GT would undoubtedly beat you, no matter the performance measure: http://www.hennesseyperformance.com/venomgt.html There are a multitude of muscle cars, still street legal, that would walk all over your car, and have 500 HP to spare. There are a variety of Porsches worked over by 9ff and RUF that are faster than your car. And that's before we get to the ridiculous boost levels that you're surely running. When you start going there, there are EVO's and STI's faster than your car. Hell, someone in Dubai has probably built a sleeper Civic that's faster than your car. Basically, your car is fast. Extremely fast. Ridiculously fast. I wish I owned a car nearly as fast. But there are MANY faster cars in this world. Just because you're the best in your little bubble doesn't mean you're the best there is. That's like the best rugby player in the US thinking he would be one of the best in the world. In reality, he would be pitiful. Similar thing when you try comparing your car against the true players. Tl;dr: Don't be a cocky asshole.
my car can
well until i race any of those cars, how will i ever know that they are faster, only car i witness beat my car is a alpha 12 gtr. also im trying to be cocky, its just i havent found a car, that on street tires, can run 0-200 faster than my car yet. I know i have the fastest car in Missouri and second fastest in the MIdwest. But thanks for the list of cars that might beat mine.
Fastest in Missouri.
Im pretty sure i have the fastest street legal car. that will still pass emissions here and everything. Now there are some other 7 second cars, but they run that on slicks(illegal tires) and they probably wont pass emission levels.
thendo you wan to race
ya sure, what do u have?
i know about 50 cars that can whip your ass
Ya, but what if give those tunings to a Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport or a SSC Ultimate Aer, or even a Lamborghini Aventador? Would it be the fastest car then?
The aventador you can get a UR tune, have it at 1200whp
henry just raped and annihilated your ass hole, just saying.
The Hennessy Venom GT would beat that car
And maybe Ryan Woons toyota supra look it up
Chuk Norris would out run your car
Have you seen sal's 1999 viper. It's pushing 2200 to 2500 hp and runs the quarter mile in the low sevens.
The ONLY CAR THE Veyron FEARS is no longer in production. It was a street legal California made production car called the Vector W2. It had 1350HP from a chevy Donovan twin turbo V8 and a recorded stop speed of 302mph- the test driver got scared and backed off at that speed because the car became unstable.
Actually upon further research about the Vector W2, the driver was forced to back off because the tires were starting to fall apart as tire technology back when the Vector was in production could not meet that vehicles performance requirements.
Google fastest mile car and it will be a twin turbo Ford gt and not a portly Italian car
Performance Power Racing's Ford GT TT. Less horsepower, less pistons and covered the mile at 283 mph. Fastest street car ever! Of course better aerodynamics.
A bugatti veyron supersport will beat a tuned lamborghini gallardo. With a top speed of 267 mph the lamborghini wouldn't stand a chance. A Hennessey venom gt would go even better than the bugatti. A Koenigsegg one-1 will also beat the tuned lamborghini gallardo.

Y&R's Fudge Heads for the Exit
After an unexceptional 3½-year tenure during which key clients departed, Young & Rubicam's chairman plans to retire at yearend
Ann Fudge predicted it would take three to five years to turn around Young & Rubicam Brands when she took over the chairman and CEO post in May, 2003. But that goal eluded her as she struggled to make Y&R thrive amid an advertising downturn, a somewhat frosty reception, and a role that proved to be a poor fit for her skills (see BusinessWeek.com, 3/29/04, "Act II").
On Nov. 28, Fudge, 55, said that she will retire at yearend to focus on nonprofit work, serving on the boards of groups such as The Rockefeller Foundation and the Council on Foreign Relations. Having lost the role of running Y&R's flagship agency earlier this year—a task since taken up by Hamish McLennan—it was only a matter of time before Fudge finally headed for the exit.
So what went wrong?
To some extent, Fudge had the odds stacked against her from the start. As a former Y&R client and marketing star at Kraft Foods (KFT), she came to the clubby conglomerate with a distinct lack of ad industry experience. At the time, a number of top executives made critical comments about her decision to take two years off after leaving Kraft in 2001. To them, it was a signal that she didn't have the fire in her belly to move Y&R to the next level. As one peer put it: "A few years is a long time to be away."
Unhappy Clients
Fudge didn't help matters with her focus on internal operations instead of mind-blowing creative work. In her first major speech to staff, she talked about "Lean Six Sigma"—a detail-driven quality process popularized by General Electric (GE), where she sits on the board. That hardly inspired the troops. She also tried to ignore the clandestine politics of an organization that had been through a tumultuous initial public offering in May, 1998, in which many top executives cashed out, followed by a stormy takeover battle led by WPP Group (WPPGY) CEO Martin Sorrell that brought Y&R under his control in 2000. Through a spokeswoman, Fudge declined to comment for this article.
But the real issue came down to clients. A number of them simply weren't happy with the quality of work coming out of Y&R's ad agency. Burger King (BKC), Computer Associates (CA), Sony Electronics (SNE), and even Kraft defected during her tenure. Some spoke of what they perceived as a lack of attention from Fudge herself, marked by her absence at key meetings and lack of engagement in key campaigns (see BusinessWeek.com, 4/14/05, "Short on Sizzle and Losing Steam").
Some of the other parts of the Y&R network have thrived over the past few years—most notably, Burson-Marsteller public relations agency, Landor Associates brand consultancy, and ad agency Cohn & Wolfe. But they were basically doing fine when Fudge arrived and have separate CEOs at the helm. Her task was to revive the troubled core agency, founded in 1923. Unable to do so, she was destined to move on to yet another fresh chapter in her career.

Hermitage student earns Civitan scholarship
Hermitage High School senior Samuel Richardson, who will graduate next month, plans to help pay his way through his four years at University of Virginia. The Greater Richmond Civitan Club helped him get off to a good start, awarding Richardson its $4,000 scholarship Wednesday night at the Civitan Honor Key Awards Banquet at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in downtown Richmond.
Richardson was one of 31 local high school students honored at the banquet but was the only one awarded with the scholarship.
Those who chose the scholarship winner had been impressed with Richardson pledging to put $10,000 of his own money each year to help pay for his tuition, said Pat Robson, secretary of the Greater Richmond Civitan Club and master of ceremonies for the banquet.
"He's not just riding the family cab," Robson said.
The pledge fit well with the words of the banquet's guest speaker, Nora Raum, who works as a part-time newscaster for NPR and attorney. She joked that she should become a used-car saleswoman to "hit the trifecta of jobs with a bad public perception."
During her speech, Raum spoke about her unusual path through education and preached the importance of avoiding large student loans, adding that it's better to take eight years to finish college with no debt than to do so in four years with a lot of debt.
Richardson plans to earn his degree at UVA without student loans, Robson said.
Richardson said he felt lucky and blessed after winning the scholarship. He thought his commitment to public service may have set him apart to the other candidates. He plans to spend some time in the Army as an officer after college.
Among many activities, Richardson is an Eagle Scout, plays first chair trombone in his high school marching band and played volleyball and cross country, he said. He has a 4.84 GPA, though he said others at Hermitage had higher GPAs.
He plans to pursue a double major at UVA, with one of his majors being Middle Eastern and South Asian Languages and Literatures.
The Honor Key Awards, which were given to all 31 students, have existed since the World War II era, Robson said. Those honored must have shown excellence in scholarship, sportsmanship and leadership, he said.
Five other Henrico County students – Alexander Althoff (Deep Run HS), Lakshmi Ravindra (Henrico HS), Aubrey Temple (Highland Springs HS), Joseph DiTrapani (J.R. Tucker HS) and Alpha Mansaray (Varina HS) – were among the 31 honored at the banquet.
The Greater Richmond Civitan Club is part of the larger Civitan International, an organization of volunteer service clubs with chapters in 25 countries, Robson said. The club was started in 1917 in Birmingham, Ala., and places a special emphasis on helping people with developmental disabilities.

The Brow Takes a Bow
Monday night will be big for college basketball. Kentucky coach John Calipari could win his first national championship. Kansas coach Bill Self could win his second in five years. And a generation of fans will say goodbye to the most famous overgrowth in the game's history.
Anthony Davis's unibrow has been celebrated on T-shirts, on frosted sugar cookies and even on the chest of a man with perhaps a bit too much creativity for his own good. Kentucky's Wildcat mascot has adopted the merged-eyebrow look. Kids in the French Quarter have worn fake mustaches on their foreheads. Even Davis's mother, Eranier Davis, wore a unibrow mask to the Southeastern Conference tournament and a unibrow rendered in what appeared to be eyebrow pencil to Saturday's 69-61 win over Louisville.
Not since former Gonzaga star Adam Morrison's mustache became a similar cult hit in the mid-2000s has facial hair so enchanted the college hoops-viewing public. Davis himself has been a good sport about the notoriety his most distinctive feature has received, grinning as fans stop him to "bow to the brow." But Kentucky guard Marquis Teague said he has been surprised at the cottage industry of brow worship his teammate has inspired.
"Only he could pull it off," Teague said. "He's a unique person. He's OK with it, and he just has fun with it."
Davis's twin sister, Antoinette, said she's been taken aback by the attention around her older brother in general. People visit the clothing store where she works and ask to take photos with her. "It's crazy," she said.
With Davis expected to enter June's NBA draft, Monday probably will mark the brow's last appearance on a college court. So why did it become so popular so quickly? Alas, we can't consult the Society for the Protection and Promotion of the Unibrow. Its Facebook page, which features a photo of artist Frida Kahlo, is defunct.
Certainly, Kentucky's blistering 37-2 season plays a large part, as does the Wildcats' eternally high profile. But the biggest attraction is that it's an organic phenomenon. Davis didn't cultivate or groom the unibrow. Like Davis shooting up from 6-foot-2 to 6-foot-10 as a teenager, it just sprouted naturally.

Following two days of voting, a puff of white smoke from the Sistine Chapel signaled a new pope had been chosen. Television stations showed those gathering in St. Peter's Square chanting "Habemus papam," meaning "we have a pope."
Jorge Mario Bergoglio, archbishop of Buenos Aires, Argentina, was selected following two days of voting split among five ballots.
He is the 266th pontiff and is the first South American to be elected pope, as well as the first Jesuit and the first pope to choose the name "Francis."

The Very Rev. Fr. Donald X. Higgs celebrates mass at St. Brendan Catholic Church Wednesday evening.
Locally, members of St. Brendan Catholic Church celebrated with a rosary and mass, while offering their prayers to the newly elected pontiff.
St. Brendan Pastoral Associate Rev. Raymond Godwin said he is very happy about the new pope.
"I think they have selected a good man," Godwin said. "About 40 percent of the world's Catholics are Latin, so this was a good pick. I love the fact that he picked the name Francis and feel he will be a breath of fresh air for the church. He is a symbol of humility."
Elkins resident Sue Severino said she likes the newly elected pope, and Judy Sinkule said she thinks he will be good for the church.
Mary Snelson said she listened to the pope's first comments and thought they were "awesome."
"He asked for a moment of silence so the audience could pray for him," Snelson said. "It was very beautiful. The announcer said he had never heard it so quiet there as when Pope Francis asked for a moment of silence."
The Very Rev. Donald X. Higgs, pastor of St. Brendan Catholic Church, said the keys have been handed to Pope Francis.
"He will shepherd the church," Higgs said. "Before he gave a blessing, he asked those gathered to give him a blessing. This is what it is to be a servant. Pope Francis is the servant of the servants of God."
Sister Mary Ella Morrison said it was wonderful to hear that the new pope is someone from Latin America.
"He seems to exude a great love for the common people," Morrison said. "They said he used public transportation instead of driving. He has such a beautiful smile."
Betty Binns said she was really excited about the election of Pope Francis.
"I was watching television when the white smoke went up," Binns said. "It is good to see someone elected outside of the European countries."
Judy Ware said the newly elected pontiff seems to be very humble.
"He seems humble and devout and I think he will be very interested about the faithful throughout the world," Ware said. "His asking for prayers for him was very humbling."
"I think he will be a good pope," said Chick Rao. "He seems very people-oriented, which was obvious from the start when he asked the people to bless him."
"It is with joy and happiness we welcome our new holy Father," said Higgs. "I was wonderfully impressed with his request to ask people to bless him before he blessed us. What a wonderful example of a humble servant."

- "It's one thing to be an activist. But it's another thing to be willing to take that level of activism to governance…. [Bella] was willing to take her activism to another level…taking on a whole other burden of responsibility." (Ron Dellums p. 111)
- "I hadn't been a club person. That's not my constituency. I come from the movements of change, the labor movement, the peace movement, the human rights movement, the civil rights movement, the women's movement. Those are the people I bring into campaigns all the time." (Bella Abzug p. 86)

- "You've got to be creative, experienced, and know how to use the library to ferret out what you need." (Bella Abzug p. 122)
- "By taking the far forward position, Bella allowed other to move up and look more moderate." (Marilyn Marcosson p. 166)
- "They [the Carter Administration] felt we'd overstepped our bounds when talking about the budget. A budget wasn't supposed to be a women's issue. She was always walking uphill, bucking the tide …if she wasn't walking uphill, she'd find the hill that could be walked up. It's what made her great." (Marlo Thomas p. 222)

Indu to be released in Nizam area on Mar 26
Producer Lakshman says, "Director Vasu brought out the film with a model story. The film runs with a college in Malaysia in its backdrop. It has a good message that the girls should be sent to the college with affection but not with suspicion. Peter Haynes action scenes would also attract the mass audiences."
"Vivek"s comedy is entertaining all classes of audiences, while national award winner Vidyasagar melodious tunes has mesmerized the audience. We are planning to organize platinum disc function very soon. M Kesavan"s cinematography would remain a highlight. The film has all kinds of commercial elements and we are sure that the youth of Nizam area would also enjoy and make the film a hit. We are planning to release the film in Nizam area on March 26.", he added.

If you include the work that I have done in the theatre as a stage manager - I've been engaged in project management since 1989. 24 years is a long time to think about and practice a craft. I wrote a bit about how technical theatre seems to impact software project management. I've been writing about technology and project management since 2004/05 and I've been managing the builds of complex database driven systems since 1999. All of this has led to my using many different project management styles and tool sets.
I've submitted a session in Portland on just this subject.
Learn from my 18 years of Project Management Experience with Technology. I've done it all - cowboy, waterfall, extreme, and agile scrum.
Learn why...
- Waterfall doesn't always work
- Agile has a place, but isn't the holy grail
- Cowboy can kill the relationships you have with your stakeholders
- How "Fixed Scope" is a lie
- That a combination of approaches is the answer
Project management requires a blend of techniques and tools to effectively shepherd projects from ideation to release. We'll explore and discuss different tools and methodologies that can help make your project successful.
I've done many presentations for different organizations, ranging from teaching sessions for the ZAPP art adjudication system, CultureGrants Online, for the Grant Managers Network on social media, and Drupal for Nonprofits at Net Squared.
I've presented at quite a few Drupalcons and Camps like
- Drupalcamp Colorado,
- Popular Science in Boston,
- Agile Software Development in Paris,
- Pregnancy.org in DC,
- Project Management in Denver,
- Project Management in Munich,
- CRM Core at BadCamp,
- The Keynote for Drupalcamp Austin,
- Drupalize Me Podcast Panel on Project Management
Please, spend a couple of minutes and write a supporting comment for me. I'll see you in Portland!

Healthy Competition
What's Holding Back Health Care and How to Fix It
Not available
(If any tax is payable it will be calculated and shown at checkout.)
moreAmerica's healthcare system is at a crossroads, faced with rising costs, quality concerns, and a lack of patient control. Some blame market forces. Yet many troubles can be traced directly to pervasive government influence: entitlements, tax laws, and costly regulations. Consumer choice and competition deliver higher quality and lower prices in other areas of the economy. The authors conclude that removing restrictions can do the same for health care.
In the newly updated edition, the authors expand on their prior work with new analysis of the best and worst ideas in health care reform on both the right and the left. This includes examining the health care proposals of presidential candidates, with special analysis of the recent Massachusetts Connector health care reforms.

Talia J. Glesner: Programming for Families Impacted by Incarceration: An Ecological Exploration (2014-03-21)
Glesner, Talia J. | Decision Theater, Farrell Hall | 2014-03-21 | 2:00 p.m.
- 03-17-2014
- By Doctoral program CESS
The purpose of this dissertation is to learn how the ecological perspective can describe such a program with the intent of learning how to develop an evaluative tool that utilizes the framework that incorporates development and context. This study describes a state-wide Vermont program, Families Behind Walls that works with families of incarcerated mothers through ecological terms. The impacts of incarceration ripple far beyond the lives of the inmates, and extend to their families and the larger community. Programming, and the evaluations of those programs, have not fully accounted for such complexity. The use of the ecological perspective embraces complexity and context.
Qualitative data was gathered through semi-structured interviews with current program staff, community partners, and caregivers to the children of the incarcerated mothers. Program documents were collected as well. Documents and interviews were analyzed through the ecological lens.
Collected data illustrated the program's effmis to address the problems that can be described through elements of the ecological perspective, and conditions that promote development. Informed by the ecological perspective, elements emerged that enabled evaluation of program strategies and outcomes. This study remains small in scope and exploratory in nature; a formative exploration into a new evaluative process.
Implications of the work indicate that the ecological perspective can be useful in developing and implementing evaluations in alignment with the missions of programs. Practical implications indicate the active involvement of stakeholders in evaluation development and strengthening the interconnectedness of system. Recommendations for practice and study are outlined.

CRISES of the cardiovascular system in the pediatric age group occur most often in the infant, whose size makes monitoring blood pressure difficult and the dosage of fluids and medications critical. Therefore, some general comments about monitoring and drug dosage may serve well as an introduction to the critical care of infants and children.
Blood Pressure Determination
The blood pressure determination is crucial to the diagnosis as well as to the treatment of circulatory shock. No matter whether auscultation or ultrasonic or other electronic methods are employed, the cuff size is of enormous significance. A cuff that is too small will indicate systolic pressures higher than the true value of the intra-arterial pressure, and a cuff too large will produce readings that may suggest shock in the presence of a normal circulatory state.The width of the air bladder in the cuff should be 20% to 25% wider than the

News 12 at 6, June 26, 2007
HEPHZIBAH, Ga.---A Hephzibah couple says their brand-new $7,000 fence is about to fall over.
That's because one expert says the fence builder took way too many shortcuts.
When you're building a fence, you're supposed to use a good amount of concrete to keep the thing from tipping over.
Bobby and Rosa Green say their fence builder didn't use the concrete, but he did charge them for it.
"It's to the point now, i don't know if it will come all the way over." bobby said.
Bobby green is beyond mad, he forked over nearly $7,000 to get this fence built.
But within weeks of completion, he started noticing some problems.
"It's supposed to lock into place (referring to the gate)." he said.
The gate wouldn't latch, the posts were shaky and much of it just seemed wobbly.
The Green's have repeatedly called the builder, Derek Cook of Cook Tree Service to come and make things right. So far, they say he's a no show.
12 On Your Side brought in Fence City owner Karen Winkfein to do her own inspection and she didn't like what she saw.
"I haven't hit concrete. I'm all the way down with a shovel. This is pretty bad for being as new as it is." Karen said.
Karen says if Cook Tree Service used the right amount of concrete, it should be visible 2 to 3 inches down. That isn't the case with the Green's fence.
That's bad because that means the fence will essentially just fall over after a little time.
12 On Your Side did call Derek Cook to ask him why he didn't put enough concrete in. He says he did, but Karen's digging proved he didn't.
He also told us he'll be back out to fix things, but the Greens have yet to hear from him.
For Bobby, this is especially troubling. He's a member of the military and about to head off to Korea for a while this is something he doesn't want his wife to have to deal with while he's gone.
"If the young man would come and do what he said he'd do, it wouldn't be a problem." bobby said.
The Greens are basically going to have to have their fence torn down and completely rebuilt.
That means, they could be out another $6,000 to $7,000.

Home | RS News | KPRT gives smiles to orphans
Story by Staff Sgt. Kristen Duus1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 1st Armored DivisionKANDAHAR, Afghanistan (Feb. 4, 2013) - Nearly 50 children sat on metal chairs, at metal tables, in a room where the only light shone in through the curtainless windows. Patiently waiting. Outside, members of the Kandahar Provincial Reconstruction Team unloaded boxes upon boxes of treats for the children. From gloves to winter coats, from school supplies to candy, the children sat in anticipation, not knowing what was in store for them.The children, all boys, live at the Shahid Al Ahad Khan Karzi orphanage in Kandahar. Several of them run around, inside and out, barefoot, not even owning a pair of shoes. The KPRT, which operates from Camp Nathan Smith in Kandahar City, works in partnership with the Kandahar provincial government to facilitate improvements in governance and socioeconomic development, in order to ultimately cultivate a sustainable, stable province.The boys became antsy in their seats as members of the KPRT began to hand out treats. They sat quietly as they each received a pair of gloves. They patiently accepted school supplies, including paper and crayons. However, as soon as the boys saw the candy, all bets were off, as their hands grabbed for any piece they could get ahold of. The same went for stuffed animals.Staff Sgt. Greg Cullison, a native of Page, Ariz., assigned to C. Company, 4th Battalion, 17th Infantry Regiment, 1st Brigade Combat Team, 1st Armored Division at Fort Bliss, Texas, and attached to the KPRT, pulled security at the orphanage, but also interacted with the children."I play with them and try to talk to them," said Cullison. "I try to show them I know a little Pashtu so hopefully they won't be scared to talk to me. I'll take my glasses off and smile at them so they know American soldiers are good."Aside from handing out goodies to the boys, the KPRT also took Navy and U.S. contracting engineers to help fix some electrical problems at the orphanage."The engineers taped up hot wires that were loose that could electrocute the children and capped off ends of the generator that are no longer in use," said Sgt. Cody Swank, a native of Tulsa, Okla., assigned to C. Co., 4th BN, 17th IR, 1st BCT, 1st AD, Fort Bliss, Texas, and also attached to the KPRT. As the KPRT left the orphanage, the children had empty candy wrappers in hand and smiles on their faces."We're trying to win the hearts and minds at a lower level," said Cullison. "You might be able to make an impact on that one kid's life, and might change one thing in the future."(Cover Photo) Army Staff Sgt. Greg Cullison, a native of Page, Ariz., and a member of the Kandahar Provincial Reconstruction Team, sits with children at the Shahid Al Ahad Khan Karzi Orphanage in Kandahar, Jan. 28. The KPRT visited the orphanage to provide coats, gloves, school supplies, stuffed animals and candy to the children.Air Force Master Sgt. Shaun Khoenle, a member of the Kandahar Provincial Reconstruction Team, asks questions to children at the Shahid Al Ahad Khan Karzi Orphanage in Kandahar, Afghanistan, Jan. 28.
