If in an economic model we focus on four variables:
Y(t) = Output after time t
K(t) = Kapital
L(t) = Labor
A(t) = Skill or knowledge of the labor force
at any one time the economy has some output, kapital, and labor with its knowledge so we can say that the output or production has the form that follows (Solow model):
Y(t) =F (K(t),L(t),A(t))
where F(...) is the function that relates these variables to each other and the final output after a time "t."
if we define A(t)*K(t) as the effective labor and call it AK we then get for the output
Y(t) = F ( AK(t) , L(t) )
if we have:
Y = F (cK, cAL) = c F(K, AL) for c>=0
assuming that there are constant returns in the AL and K variable.
so what if we take c to be any value such as c = 1 / AL
so we have.
Y = F(ck, cAL) = (1/AL*K , 1/AL * AL) = (K/AL, 1)
K/AL is defined as the amoutn of effective kapital per unit of effective labor.
we also konw that Y/AL is the production over effective labor which means:
ok, lets for the sake of simplicity define Y/AL as "y"
and K/AL as "k" we , and also lets define f(k,1) as f(k)
we would have
y = f(k)
that is we can write the output per effective unit of labor as a function of kapital per effective unit of labor.
The intuition behind why we used y = f(k) is this:
think of dividing the economy into AL small econmies, each with 1 unit of effective labor and K/AL units of capital. Since the production function has constant returns, each of these small economies produces 1/AL as much as is produced in large, undivided economy!!!
This means that the amount of outpuer per unit of effective labor depends only on the quantity of kapital per unit of effective labor. and not on the overall size of the economy!!
but the function y=f(k) describes the output per effective unit of labor for only these AL untis of economy. What if we want the estimation for the entire economy?
then we multiply by AL to get y AL = AL f(k) and since y = Y /AL
Y = ALf(k)
assumptions: if k=0 it means that kapital is zero and so we can assume that y=0
f(0) = 0
f'(k) > 0 because we now that Y = ALf(k)=ALf(K/AL)
dY /dK = AL f'(K/AL)(1/AL) = f'(K/AL)
so f'(k) = f'(K/AL)
and we know that 0 < AL f'(K/AL)(1/AL)
f''(k) = df'(K/AL)/dK= f''(K/AL)(1/AL) = f''(K/AL)/AL
since f'(k) is positive, it is assumed that f''(k) is negative.
f'(k) >0 and f''(k) <0
I have been pursuing a small business that follows more or less the Cobb-Douglas model:
F (K, AL) = K^a * {(AL)^[1-a]} 0>a<1
if my previous assumption about the solow function is right then this function should also be true for a constant return or F(cK, cAL) = cF(K, AL)
I have:
F (K, AL) = K^a * {(AL)^[1-a]}
F (cK, cAL) = (cK)^a * {(cAL)^[1-a]} = c^a * K^a * c^(1-a) * (AL)^[1-a]
since c^ a * c ^(1-a) = c ^ (a+1-a) = c so we have
F(cK,CAL) = c * K^a * {(AL)^[1-a]} = cF(K,AL)
so it is proven that my productoin function meets the condition of Solow model and that I can use it to an appreciable degree.
Now that my function has met the first condition I can go ahead and check it for the intesive form y=f(k)
dividing both inputs by AL (like before I have)
F(K/AL,1) which I again take to be f(k)
I also konw that with this my function or F (K, AL) = K^a * {(AL)^[1-a]} if I put in the values of K and AL i get:
f(k) = F(K/AL, 1) = (K/AL)^a * (1)^[1-a] = (K/AL)^a
f(k) = (K/AL)^a or k^a (sinc k = K/AL)
finding f'(k)
f'(k) = ak^(a-1)
f''(k) = a(a-1)k^(a-2) = - (1-a)ak^(a-2) and since 0<a<1 so 1-a>0 and so is the rest but since we have a "-" sign in the front then
so far the model has met he criteria of the solow model.
this would give the following shape to my enterprize:
as u can see above at a certain k the value of f(k) fixes and falls on the equall production and return. Beyond that if you increase the capital per effective force or output per effective force it only goes down.
What is the point I am making?
There is a lot of talk about these tiny asian economies and Japan, and everybody seems to think that these economies would keep on growing forever but in fact as recent evidence shows Japan is in serious serious economic recess, and so is Korea, and all the other nations who have already reached their k(critical). These nations can not go any further and any further attempt with the old standards would result only in loss of kapital, unless of course the entire system is abandoned for the sake of a newever version. Of coruse there is one factor these old economies can use to rescue them and that is advertisement manipulation and falsification of data and records to create a false sense of security for the consumer. Kind of like what Enron did, expect as countries, these entities are not observed by authorities who are impartial. So if japan says it makes this amount of money even if it is a lie, there is no authority who would report to world bank.
I also noticed one thing about the American economy, which seems to make people anxious about its survival but is in fact its very invulnerability!!! Unlike other economies U.S. does not only rely on its Kapital, Effective work force, Labor knowledge and skills, or even its natural resources (counted as knowledge of the labor). It has a new variable which I am surprised to find out is missing from all the economic theories present today.
That is where my contribution to this thread comes in. I have noticed the same worry in the economic trends 10 years ago with Clinton or folks before him. The fact is we have to introduce two new variable into America:
Politial strenght P(t)
Military Power or Acquisitive power Z(t)
I like to define the P(t) as the politial influence in the security counsel, as a NATO boss, and as the prominant force of the globe.
I like to define Z(t) as the power to mobilize its military for monetary gains without losses. It can easily attack Iraq or Iran or buy out Saudi Arabia or Kuwait. This gives it great power.
In the new model which I think makes sense I propose the following modification to the Solow's principal basic model:
Y = F( K(t),L(t),A(t),P(t),Z(t))
just like before we ball A(t)L(t) = AL = effecitive work force and this time we call the ALK=effecitive labour kapital, and lets add PZ as effective global influence.
The purpose is to find the same graph between f(k) and k but this time between f(PZ) and PZ for simplicity sake we take then both as E = PZ
First we have to see if this function is true return for c as is the case in Solow assumptive theory.
we have
we assume this is a consatant return function as it is following Solow assumption so:
Y = F(cKAL, cE) = c F(KAL, E)
lets use as c = 1/KAL
like before lets assume that y = Y/KAL
and k = E /KAL
and that means,
y = f(k)
again checking for f'(x) and f''(x) proves that the values are:
f'(x) > 0 , and f''(x)<0
now before we used the internatinally accepted Cobb-Douglass formula but I like to add the new variable into the set
it used to be:
F (K, AL) = K^a * {(AL)^[1-a]} 0>a<1
this is the new form
F(KAL, E) = E^(a) * K^a * AL^ [1-2a]
again working with this function gives:
F(cKAL, cE) = (cE)^a *(cK)^a*(cAL^[1-2a]) = {c^a*c^a*c^1-2a} E^(a) * K^a * AL^ [1-2a] = c * {E^(a) * K^a * AL^ [1-2a]} = cF(KAL,E)
so it is checked for the return constant and this makes sense at least in terms of its math.
to find the intensive form of f(k) = y
we proceed as follows:
the original formula is:
F(KAL, E) = E^(a) * K^a * AL^ [1-2a]
we divide both inputs by c = 1/KAL
we have:
F(1, E/KAL) = (E/KAL)^a * 1^a * 1^[1-2a] = (E/KAL)^a = k^a
f'(k)= ak^(a-1)
f''(k) = -(1-a)k^(a-2)
since the graph has a y = k^a shape it imitates yet another hyperbolic shape but with one big difference.
The economy of america is not controlled by its kapital per effective labor force but by a combination of its political and military related market influence.
therefore for U.S. it will never experience economic slow down, or at leat its critical point of economic balance is not defined because it sets it itself. It is in contorl of its own economic destiny by controling the very variable by which the game is played.
Oh well, regard this as just a play on formula or who knows maybe I am onto something...but regardless it is not questionable that European and Asian economies have a high growth rate but as fast ast they go up they usually fall down. U.S. seems to enjoy a steady yet shaky improvement that is not impressive but it not prone to falling. In short, U.S. economy has a huge stability factor that other economies wont have and cant have, unelss of course if we change the polarity of our world.

Iraq War
Environmental record
For more information on environmental legislation, see the Energy and Environment Policy Portal
Voting record
Campbell is a Republican, and has a tendency to vote with his party. His votes show the he is:
- Against gay marriage (voted for Same Sex Marriage resolution) [[1]]
- Pro-campaign finance reform (voted for the 527 Reform Act)[2]
- Approves of the presidents decision to send more troops to Iraq (voted NO on Iraq War Policy resolution) [3]
- Does not support increased funding for public education and does not support affirmative action (voted NO College Access and Opportunity Act) [4]
- Against federal gun control (Trigger Lock Amendment - prevents funds in the Commerce Department FY2007 Appropriation bill from being used to enforce a law requiring guns be sold with locks on guns) [5]
- Pro-religion (votes yes to Public Expression of Religion Act) [6]
- Against Federal Support of Medicare (Voted NO to Medicare Prescription Drug Price Negotiation Act) [7]
The 527 Reform Act is interesting because it takes the power of campaign contribution out of the hands of 527 organizations and puts it into the hands of the candidate's party. The Public Expression of Religion Act is also interesting because it makes it harder to sue the Federal Government for not upholding segregation, and thus can be interpreted as pro-religious.
Interest group ratings:
- Pro gun organizations support him (Gun Owners of California, NRA) [8]
- Educational organizations do not support him (National Association for College Admission Counseling) [9]
- Labor organizations do not support him [10]
- Pro life organizations support him (National Right to Life Committee, Life Priority Network) [11]

- Pro-Marijuana Law Reform Organizations tend not to support him; (National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws)[15]
- Animal Rights Organizations are split over him [16]
- Immigrant organizations do not support him; anti-immigrant organizations support him [17].
National security and foreign policy
On June 15, 2007, Campbell was one of two representatives to vote against the Military Construction and Veterans Affairs Appropriations Act, 2008, which makes spending decisions for some Defense Department medical and construction expenses, VA construction, administration and medical programs and spending for a few related national and international agencies.
Born July 19, 1955, in Los Angeles, California, Campbell earned his B.A. in Economics from UCLA in 1976 and his M.S. in Business Taxation from USC in 1977. After receiving his Master's degree, Campbell became a Certified Public Accountant and joined Ernst & Young as a tax accountant.
In 1985, Campbell became President and CEO of Campbell Automotive Group. In 1990, he became President and CEO of Saturn of Orange County. Campbell became Chairman and CEO of Saab of Orange County in 1999.
Elected to represent southern Orange County's 70th District in the California State Assembly in 2000 and was re-elected in 2002.
In the 2004 35th State Senate District, Campbell won 64% of the vote. As a California Senator, Campbell served as Vice Chair of both the Business Professions and Economic Development Committee and the Labor and Industrial Relations Committee. He was also a member of the Budget and Fiscal Review Committee; the Energy, Utilities, and Communications Committee; the Environmental Quality Commitee; and the Government Modernization, Efficiency, and Accountability Committee.
After Congressman Chris Cox resigned to become Chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Campbell became a candidate to replace Cox in a special election]] on October 4, 2005. Campbell faced a strong third-party challenge from American Independent Party candidate Jim Gilchrist. On October 4, Campbell garnered 45.5% of the vote, below the 50% needed to avoid a runoff. He faced Democrat Steve Young, American Independent James Gilchrist, Libertarian Bruce D. Cohen and Green Bea Tirtilli in the December 6 runoff, which he won with 44.4% of the vote. Campbell was sworn in on December 7.
2006 elections
In 2006, the Democrats nominated Steve Young, and the Libertarian Party nominated Bruce Cohen to face Campbell in his November 2006 bid for reelection. (See U.S. congressional elections in 2006) [18] Campbell retained his seat.

Quote #4
(and birds sing sweeter
than books

Again, these lines seem to point out a negative about books that we've never really considered before – that books don't sing. Birds, however, do, so perhaps we should listen to them rather than what we read in a book.
Quote #5
(with a shout

These lines bring us back to the glee and joy of recess. They make us think of a circle of kids, spinning around and shouting some word game. Ah, remember the good old days of elementary school?

KINGSTON -- No deal was reached Wednesday between Assemblyman Kevin Cahill, Ulster County Executive Mike Hein and members of the Ulster County Legislature Wednesday in a closed door meeting on 1 percent in county sales sales tax worth a cool $22 million.
But most officials did agree to keep negotiating, even though Cahill, D-Kingston, said the state legislature almost certainly won't be coming back before January, as was hoped by some.
Hein's position, put out at the meeting, was that the county would take up the cost of Safety Net from local municipalities, or welfare, but wanted Cahill to find a way for Ulster County to be made whole for the anticipated loss in sales tax.
Cahill said he wouldn't consider reimbursing the county for the loss of a tax they didn't actually collect.
And at one point, Kingston Mayor Shayne Gallo walked out of the meeting in frustration, saying Cahill's position was untenable.
But Cahill and Hein says more meetings were forthcoming.
The extension of 1 percent in Ulster County sales tax on top of the 3 percent it already collects represents the potential of $22 million in revenue to the county, $3 million to the City of Kingston and $790,000 to other municipalities, according to Ulster County.
Since state legislators left Albany without taking up any bills to let Ulster County collect an additional one percent in sales tax revenue, Hein has waged a public campaign against Cahill, saying it was his refusal to negotiate that led to the failure. Cahill, alternatively, says it was Hein's refusal to negotiate that wrought the sales tax impasse.
It became clear in late June the measure wouldn't pass in the state Legislature because of competing bills — one from Cahill and one from Assemblyman Frank Skartados, D-Milton.

It's possible to drive devices from user space. You need the kernel's

Would your driver have to respond to interrupts from the device? That

Research in Psychology targets scientific and applied research on a key challenge for the 21st century: how do human cognition, human behaviour and the human brain develop and function from infancy through to later life? Its research approach is to undertake discovery science on topics that are of interest both to other scientists and to the general public, focusing on how and why individuals differ throughout the lifespan, how memory, language, perception and action develop and function in the healthy brain, and how cognition and behaviour are affected by and respond to focal brain damage and brain diseases. Psychology is afilliated to Edinburgh Neuroscience, a research network that facilitates ongoing interaction and collaborations between researchers from across the University of Edinburgh working at all levels of neuroscience from molecules through synapses and networks to cognition and behaviour.

Baltimore, Md - Jan. 30 - When the major American Kashrut agencies were developing, the Sephardic communities were not well-represented in American Jewish communal life. Over the last 30 years, Baruch Hashem, American Yeshivot have been filled with many of the best and brightest boys of our communities. In addition to Syrian and Morrocan boys studying at the Mirrer Yeshiva in Brooklyn, many Persian boys studied in Ner Yisrael in Baltimore, MD where the President, Rabbi Herman N. Neuberger, ZT"L, was instrumental in helping tens of thousands of Jews escape after the Shah's fall in 1979. One of the earliest of those talmidim is Rav Emanuel Goldfeiz, Shlit"a, who arrived in Baltimore as a refugee from Shiraz almost 30 years ago. Rav Goldfeiz now occupies a major position of Torah leadership in Baltimore's Ashkenazic and Sephardic communities as the Rav of Beit Knesset Beit Yaakov, a revered and beloved halacha teacher in the local Bais Yaakov of Baltimore, and as a member of the hanhala of Ner Israel. He also answers hundreds of shailot every week from people of all backgrounds and levels of observance.
STAR-S Seeking to Serve The Needs of U.S. Sephardic Communities
Rav Goldfeiz shared many conversations with Dr. Avrom Pollak, President of STAR-K Kosher Certification, during his weekly visits for shatnez checking (another of his many talents!) concerning the kashrut needs of Sephardic communities worldwide. As the presence of Sephardic communities continued to grow, he felt that the particular chumrot required in the Edot Hamizrach for centuries should be offered in the United States as well. A logical extension of the growth of Sephardic communities would be caring for their kashrut concerns. During these discussions, Dr. Pollak pointed out that there was also a major need for this in the New York/New Jersey area that could - the Syrian communities in Brooklyn and Deal. These communities have grown with incredible speed into a large community of Bnei Torah, with representation in all the major yeshivot in the U.S. and Israel. With two strong communities sharing these common kashrut needs, a solution to this issue was realized. Rabbi Zvi Holland the newest Kashrut Administrator for the STAR-K, formerly the Rosh Kollel in Phoenix, AZ, and Rav Goldfeiz, mapped out a plan to create a hechsher identified as STAR-S. This new hechsher would utilize the STAR-K's international network of kosher certified companies, to address the needs of all Sephardic communities by providing them with much needed products at the highest standards of Sephardi minhagim and Bnei Edot Hamizrach.
It was agreed unanimously between all the Rabbanim that rice for Pesach was the highest priority. Finding rice with the highest level of kashrut for Pesach was to be the first STAR-S project.
Starting with "Carolina Mehadrin" Rice for Pesach
Rice for Pesach with no kashrut concerns was no simple feat. One of the greatest ongoing challenges for Sephardim is finding properly supervised kitniyot foods for use on Pesach. For many years, national kashrut agencies debated as to whether commercially available rice could be used for Pesach. One of the main issues concerned the enrichments used in U.S. rice mills to replace the vitamins removed in the polishing steps of rice milling. Another issue was that rice is often packed in facilities that also pack Chametz products on the same equipment. For national Pesach certification this almost always requires some type of meaningful Hashgacha beyond just assuming that it is acceptable. Rabbi Zvi Holland, STAR-K's newest Kashrut Administrator assigned to the STAR-S project, assisted by Rabbi Tzvi Rosen, STAR-K's Kashrut Administrator for U.S. rice production, determined that much of the enrichments could not be endorsed for Pesach according to national kosher standards and that the vast majority of rice packed in the U.S. shared lines with enriched rice and packaging at plants that also pack chametz.
Carolina Mehadrin-Extra Long Grain White Rice
After discussing the project with the STAR-S Rav Hamachshir Rav Goldfeiz, Shlit"a, Rabbi Rosen and Rabbi Holland, along with Rabbi Moshe Cohen of Ateret Torah, who agreed to serve as mashigiach temidi at the rice production, traveled to rice country to find a way to produce extra long grain white rice for Pesach. They arranged for a run of this rice for Pesach, L'Mehadrin. Carolina Mehadrin will be unique, as it will be the ONLY white rice that STAR-S can endorse for Pesach with the following Hiddurim:
· The rice is grown and transported in fields dedicated exclusively to rice that is located hundreds of miles away from other grain fields;
· The rice transported in trucks dedicated exclusively to rice
· The rice is packed in specially dedicated clean lines without concerns of chametz additives;
· The rice is produced under hashgacha temidit from beginning to end.
Despite the fact that these rice products are meticulously cleaned in the factories with advanced machines, the Gedolei Haposkim of the Sephardic kehillot feel that the established custom of checking the rice, grain by grain, three times is still required. Therefore, STAR-S-P certified rice products should be checked, grain by grain, three times prior to its usage on Pesach.
For information on how to order Carolina Mehadrin, please contact Quality Frozen foods at (718) 256-9100 or for more information contact STAR-K at (410) 484-4110.
Jasmine and Basmati Rice
Two other very popular kinds of rice used by the Sephardim are the basmati variety from India, and the aromatic jasmine rice from Thailand. While fundamentally a pure product, when packed in the U.S., these products can present Pesach issues with regard to transport and packing. Fortunately, STAR-K Kashrut Administrators Rabbi Avraham Mushell and Rabbi Moshe Schuchman deal with certification of rice produced in Thailand and India. After a review with STAR-K mashgichim, STAR-S was able to certify two other brands of STAR-K rice for Pesach 5773:
· Super Lucky Elephant Jasmine Rice (packed in Thailand) bearing STAR-K
· Himalayan Pride Indian Basmati Rice (packed in India) bearing STAR-K
More Passover & Kitniyot Products To Come
By Pesach 2013, STAR-S hopes to provide other products that meet the strict requirements of the Sephardic community. Rabbi Zvi Holland of the STAR-K and Rav Asher Eckstein, Shlit"a, the Belzer Dayan of Boro Park met with some Rabbanim of the Syrian Community to describe the Sidrei HaKashrut of California Delight Tuna and Im Yirtza Hashem new runs of this tuna will be certified "STAR-S P Bishul Beit Yosef L' Sefardim" after implementing some new protocols in place under the direction of Rav Goldfeiz, Shlit"a.
B' Ezrat Hashem, frozen beans that can be reliably used for Pesach by the Sephardic community will also be available in time for the Pesach holiday. Furthermore, STAR-S hopes to provide other products from Israel and around the world that have never before been available to U.S. Sephardi consumers seeking Kashrut l'Mehadrin.

THROUGHOUT THE CSRA --- The gas shortage is hitting our area harder than experts thought it would. But, it's not only hitting us. Local cops and emergency responders are making some changes to their teams, too.
Line them up and fill them up, if you can.
"Horrible. I want to call it mass hysteria for gas," says Heather Smith.
"We'd like to have some gasoline, please! Thank you," says Camille McCracken.
It's not just you, cops need gasoline too.
"We're having difficulties finding gas," says Richmond Co. Sheriff's Office Col. Gary Powell.
"I'd love to see them get some priority and get gasoline as soon as possible," says Camille.
Col. Powell says stations are putting aside gas for deputies, and they've even taken four deputies off the road.
"They're answering phone calls and taking reports that can be taken on the phone," says Col. Powell.
Carpooling is now becoming a popular choice, too. Investigators in Aiken County are doing it and people in training in North Augusta are also carpooling. The County is also looking at handling more calls on the phone whenever possible.
"We had two ambulances stuck on my road this morning," says Camille. "I asked one of the drivers how are you doing on gas. He said, just like everybody else."
In fact, some Gold Cross Drivers in Columbia County are having to drive three times as far to get gas, so they're limiting the amount of non-essential travel.
Mail's another biggie and a US Postal Driver tells us, they were told to get gas first thing earlier this week. Those postal drivers line up for gas with us, at the same stations.
"We know there's gasoline out there. The American public is not stupid," says Camille.
Richmond County says they're new system of moving the four deputies started last week and they've seen about 200 calls. They are looking for it to be more successful, but they say they expected to have more calls by now.
They are also looking at a website where you can report minor crimes -- such as lawn mowers stolen that need to be reported for insurance purposes -- on line, instead of on the phone or by sending a deputy out to fill out a report.

Sonia Sotomayor, Childhood and Resilience
When I look around for heroes for my two-and-a-half year old son, Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor is at the top of the list.
Her memoir, which will be released this week, tells of her long-time battle with adversity: from the early loss of a parent to a childhood spent in public housing projects in the Bronx. My colleague Jess Bravin summarizes the book here.
In addition, she and my son share something in common: early diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes.
My son was 21 months old at diagnosis. Justice Sotomayor was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes when she was 7 years old. Already precocious, she learned how to give herself insulin shots so she didn't have to rely on anyone to do it for her. But she also describes several frightening moments later in her life when her blood sugars dropped so low she blacked out.
"I've lived most of my life inescapably aware that it is precious and finite. The reality of diabetes always lurked in the back of my mind, and early on I accepted the probability that I would die young," she told NPR.
Monitoring her health is part of her daily routine — five or six insulin shots a day, exercise and multiple blood sugar checks through the day. In an interview with the Charlotte Observer, she said she no longer worries she will die young.
"When I reached 50, I was able to let go of that demon," Sotomayor said in the interview. "But not without recognizing its benefits. It drove me in a way that perhaps nothing else might have to accomplish as much as I could as early as possible."
When your small child is afflicted with a chronic disease at an early age, it is hard to feel like there is a silver-lining. There are some benefits. My son will live a healthier life for having Type 1. He will have to exercise and have an acute awareness of what he eats, choosing low-carb foods when he can. He won't indulge in soft drinks and giant portions of sweets.
I also hope that the disease helps builds character. That living with a chronic condition will teach him compassion for the less fortunate, as well as tenacity and perseverance to attain his wishes. "I just won't let anyone knock me down," Sotomayor told NPR.
Readers, how can we teach our children — with or without chronic diseases — character traits like perseverance and tenacity?

Risco (4-1) could only manage four hits against Camels pitcher Billy Meadows, who threw a complete game and struck out nine.
"It was sloppy for both teams," said Risco coach Brandon Blankenship. "Only two of their runs were earned. We didn't play good defense and we had some kids out of position."
The Tigers were missing two senior starters in Chris Pavy and Luke Bixler who were on a college basketball tryout.

ANNA, Ill. -- The Sikeston Lady Bulldogs fell to Anna, Ill., Thursday, 4-1.
Sikeston lone goal came from Katherine Inman with the assists from Madison Chaney.
Inman's kick came on the heels of Anna's third goal in the second half.
"It was from about 20 yards out and Katherine took a good shot," Sikeston head coach Doyle Noe said. "She chipped it in just over their goalies head. It was a good, heads up play by Katherine."
The Lady Bulldogs fell behind 2-0 by the end of the first half. A penalty kick put Anna up 3-0 in the second half. Sikeston (0-5) scored their goal in the 65th minute.
"We've been having some trouble scoring so far this year, but the girls played solid for most of the game," Noe said. "The score was not an indicator of how hard we played."
Sikeston will be off until Tuesday when they travel to Fredericktown.

Originally from Toronto ON Canada, Grace Visconti
is a graphic designer (print and web), published magazine
writer, and shiatsu therapist. Her company Eagleheartdynamic
has focused on creative solutions for independent and
small business owners since moving to Calgary, AB.
Her career has taken many unexpected twists and turns.
One of the greatest challenges is to reinvent oneself on a consistent basis.
When life throws you a curve you have to move with the curve or resist it. That
has been her theme and challenge as a graphic designer, personally and professionally.
She chose to "go with the flow," which is not always an easy task.
There is a difference between walking the path as a designer and implementing
design. It is a matter of depth and introspection, of walking the talk not talking
the walk. So rather than supply a brief list of accomplishments, sharing a theme
that reveals her role is preferred.
When you take design beyond its usual boundaries and into the realm of animating
consciousness, this is what design and its effects is about. Perception is a
kaleidoscope, a sharing of consciousness. We have, as graphic designers, the
power to shape the direction of individual and global consciousness, thereby
making the world a better place to live.
If ever there
was a time to implement accreditation nationally, it is now.
I received several emails advertising cheap logos, business
cards and stationery. The direct mail advertisement promoting
these graphic design services wouldn't allow me to
reply. The advertisement was targeting start up companies
in particular who supposedly
cannot afford to pay a graphic designer the regular rate.
Coincidentally, I was searching for some extra freelance work
online and came across this ad stating, "Graphic designers
needed" so I checked it out. This company requesting a
designer's service was slick and organized. Curious about
what they needed in terms of my skills, I contacted them. The
job entailed designing a logo, business card, letterhead and
envelope as templates that would be sold en mass to those individual
companies in need but first, I had to do a "test." The
test required me to design a logo, business card, letterhead
and envelope within 72 hours. Not only was my curiosity piqued,
but my investigative prowess went into high gear as well. The
criteria given were a brief description of the company, the
company name, an address, phone number, fax, and email. They
also indicated that I was to use photographic images as part
of the design on the business card because it was more "appealing."
As a perfectionist, I found it difficult to complete the test
in less than 72 hours. This was a different way of working.
It had nothing to do with a thorough, reflective, thought process
that I was so used to applying,
but rather it had everything to do with a pumped out, "do
it as fast as you can" end result. In fact, perfection,
quality and service were not a big requirement of doing this
job at all. Plus, there was no client to talk to and get feedback
I called to talk to the owner about how much this freelance
work would pay an hour. For designing the logo, business card,
envelope and letterhead, the designer only received $24.95
in total! When I pumped him for more information about how
much his cut was for my hard work, he avoided the question
like a pro. I told him I was not used to working like this
without a client's involvement and careful planning.
He quipped, "You'll get used it. We have ten of
the top designers in the U.S. working here and they can produce
all of the elements you designed for the test in one hour."
When I asked him why the design fee was so low he snapped, "Our
top designers make $2,000 a week. We have 300,000 startup businesses
buying our designs across the country and we are expanding.
We are hiring four new graphic designers. In the past, we only
hired one a year." I asked, "What about service and
quality?" He replied, "you have to be a good designer
to work here and as far as service goes, what you see is what
you get as a template." I was getting angrier by the minute
listening to this guy bragging about the designers who are
prostituting themselves and their talents for pumping out cookie
cutter designs for $24.95.
I perused this company's website and checked out some
of the work that had been done by designers. Ninety percent
of the designs looked like the careful thought process that
I was so used to, was null and void. The type looked as if
it was just plopped there as fast as the designer could click "cut
and paste." The emergence of this growing trend is alarming.
It not only sends a message to clients on a large scale that
designers are willing to prostitute themselves for companies
like this, but also it is decimating the "quality" of
our profession by the minute, turning it into large scale profits
for companies and individuals that are only interested in these
profits at the expense of quality design and service.
This approach to practicing business is leveling the playing
field for excellent graphic designers who charge what they
are worth for delivering quality and service, thereby reflecting
their expertise. In this fast paced environment where technology
is affording some to replace "quality" with "quantity," and
where money and cheap production become the criteria for defining
one's company, as designers we must fight even harder
to educate our clients that this is not a good approach. In
a world where visual images demand our attention every day
to sell a product, promote an idea, communicate an important
message, let's not forget about the quality of that message,
its delivery and the intent of those implementing design solutions.
Grace Visconti is a graphic designer (web
and print), writer and part-time shiatsu therapist. Presently,
she resides in
Calgary, AB and can be reached via email or

Clinical rotation, 2012:
Psychiatric Treatment Unit
Baystate Medical Center
Springfield, Mass.
I decided to attend Springfield College for a number of reasons, but primarily because of the way application and research are combined. A lot of schools emphasize either application or research, but I found that at Springfield College you can excel in both.
My internship with the Psychiatric Treatment Unit at Baystate Medical Center allowed me to be hands on working as a member of the psychiatric team.
I worked closely with all of the patients, psychiatrists, social workers, nurses, and occupational therapists. It helped me to learn not only in my specific area of expertise, but also to see the bigger picture of what else was being done for patients with regards to services. Springfield College gave me a lot of opportunities
I may not have had at other schools. I was offered a position as a statistics and research graduate assistant, which allowed me to switch gears and gain experience in an area that was different from what I had been doing. Springfield College is well-known for its research. Anywhere you go, people know Springfield College, and I know I've had a great advantage because of the research I've been able to do, as well as the practical experience I've gained.

Internship, Summer 2012:
International Tennis Hall of Fame, Newport, R.I.
I decided to apply to Springfield College because I heard that their Sport Management Department has some of the most well-connected staff the College has to offer. In the business world, making connections and gaining hands-on experience are immensely important.
I quickly fell into the tight-knit community at Springfield College. The professors make it a priority to develop close relationships with the graduate students in order to better understand our goals and aspirations in life. Coming from a large undergraduate university, this was definitely something I was not used to, and I learned how beneficial attending a small school can be for a graduate student. The connections I have made here will carry a long way throughout my career, and will prove to be forever advantageous.
I recently participated in a graduate internship at the International Tennis Hall of Fame in Newport, R.I., as a tournament management intern. I worked with the event management staff at the Hall of Fame to organize and implement all aspects of tournament operations for the Campbell's Hall of Fame Tennis Championships.
Working in tournament operations was an amazing experience and is something I hope to continue to pursue for the rest of my career.

I chose Springfield College because of it's sound academic reputation, beautiful facilities, and overall sense of community. I felt that the values of the College reflected my values as a young adult wanting to pursue further education. The emphasis on health and wellness really appealed to me and I wanted to be in an atmosphere that promoted that kind of lifestyle.
The Springfield College faculty have had everything to do with shaping my mind not only for this profession, but life in general. One of the things I've admired most about them is their active role in each student's academic progress and career. This is a rare finding among schools and I am still in awe of their commitment to their students and program betterment. The faculty views the student as a person with a multifaceted life, not just an academic figure.
They get to know you and work to encourage and inspire you toward your goals. They truly encompass excellence in all facets.

I chose Springfield College for my graduate studies for a number of reasons. I graduated from the Springfield College Athletic Training Program in 2006, and have always wanted to return here to pursue my Ph.D. The faculty foster a healthy learning environment and are some of the best in our field.
I could not wait to come back to learn with them again. I value the quality and structure of this athletic training program, and was thrilled to have the chance to be part of it once more. I have had many opportunities at Springfield working with student-athletes as the graduate teaching fellow in the athletic training program.
I am able to develop my clinical skills and work with undergraduate students daily to further my own professional development. It is my dream to gain a faculty position in an athletic training education program at the college level. I want to do for future students in the field what my professors here did for me.

Graduate Class of 2013 Exercise Science/ Strength and Conditioning
School of Health, Physical Education, and Recreation
Classwork in the Strength and Conditioning Room
I came to Springfield College for one reason, tradition. You do your homework and you start to realize what the strength and conditioning program represents and the honor it would be to be part of a family of some of the best strength coaches in the field.
Having the Springfield College name on your resumé represents a lot. We're a brand name, based on the alumni that have become successful in this field; those people have raised the bar for the young aspiring coaches in this program. Employers expect a certain work ethic from a Springfield College intern. You have to know how to work—you have to know how to be humble—but most importantly you have to know how to work! Our field is not pretty, it's a grind, it requires toughness, dedication, and a work ethic.
Hopefully if you come from this program you will understand what that means.
You have a direct responsibility as a Springfield College strength and conditioning student to represent the Springfield name to the best of your ability. My goal is to become a collegiate strength and conditioning coach for football. Springfield College has put me on a platform to achieve success.

Classwork in the Simulation Lab at Springfield College
Clinical rotation, Summer 2012:
Emergency Room Mercy Medical Center Springfield, Mass.
This is where you will ENGAGE Being able to work in the diagnostic and clinical skills lab to practice physical exams with a small classroom dynamic really engages every student and allows us to differentiate between normal and abnormal findings.
The Sim Lab gives students confidence after they have mastered taking a patient's history and performing a physical exam. It allows students to integrate everything we know from classes. It makes us think quickly, and allows us to become more comfortable with stressful situations. The Springfield College faculty are always there, guiding us and pushing us to work harder.
At first, they are good at holding our hand to help us get used to clinical medicine; however, I feel that the more experience and knowledge we got, the more they pushed us and let us come up with appropriate treatments for the patient. The program prepared me for my clinical rotation at Mercy Medical Center.
I felt confident walking into the emergency room and knowing how to react to patients.

Chicopee Comprehensive High School, Chicopee, Mass.
Springfield College is a community of people who want each other to succeed. It's been helpful working with an alum and knowing that Mr. Mercer came from SC was great.
He knows the rigor of the program and can give that little extra push to make you a better educator. He really was more like a mentor than a supervising teacher.
I appreciate everything he has taught me. I know if I were in his shoes I'd want to help my student-teacher as much as possible.

Course: Psychology of Disability and Illness
The possibilities that I have discovered in the graduate program at Springfield College were unimaginable to me before. Prior to enrolling in the program, I received my associate's degree and my bachelor's degree, and assumed that graduate school would be similar to other schooling I had done. But the graduate program here is different. It is like a community of thoughtful individuals ready to make a difference in this field.
It's like we're part of a profession, and we as students are treated like professional rehabilitation counselors. Here, I began to see myself as a leader more than I ever had before. The respect I was given motivated me and made me more open in the classroom.
I guess this paid off, because my advisor asked me to be his graduate assistant for the next semester. Shortly thereafter, I was asked to teach an undergraduate course (due to a professor needing to take leave), and a week later, I had a classroom full of eager undergraduate students. A couple of weeks into the semester, I was offered the opportunity to teach my own undergraduate course for the upcoming semester.
Raymond Berry
MBA '11 Nonprofit Management
School of Arts, Sciences, and Professional Studies
Senior Vice President and CFO United Way of Pioneer Valley Springfield, Mass.
I chose Springfield College because of the reputation it has in its undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral programs. Springfield College is known locally and nationally for developing strong leaders.
My experience in the MBA program allowed me to do some trial-and-error work in the classroom, and I was able to put the learning practices and principles in place at United Way immediately. The College provided me an opportunity to continue to look at ways to improve myself as an individual, as a leader—and to bring those improvements to the work environment.
If I am an improved individual, then the environment I work in will be enriched as well. From a leadership perspective, the College's Humanics philosophy is similar to that of the United Way. The institution encourages students to engage and be leaders in their own right—whether in the classroom or in the community.
I truly believe that the municipal, nonprofit, and for-profit sectors in the Pioneer Valley and beyond know that when they are dealing with a student from Springfield College, that student has had a quality education and will bring something special to the organization.

Magic Years Learning Center
YMCA of Greater Springfield, Springfield, Mass.
I chose to pursue my graduate studies at Springfield College for many reasons, but one thing that stood out is the fact that Springfield College instilled in me the idea of spirit, mind, and body — and education of the whole person. I often reflect on this in my own teaching, and it has helped me to feel more complete as an individual.
Ryanne Carmichael
Ph.D. '12 Exercise Science/Exercise Physiology
School of Health, Physical Education, and Recreation
I was initially interested in Springfield College because of the College's reputation as a leader in physical education and exercise science studies. When I investigated the College further, I was happy to find out that Springfield encourages graduate students to pursue independent research interests. That was important to me as a potential doctoral student and was ultimately the reason I choose to come here. I've been able to do research in an area important to me – endurance performance – and have been fully supported by the faculty here during that process.

Chicopee Comprehensive High School, Chicopee, Mass.
I feel working with Springfield College graduate students serves many purposes. First and foremost, working with them allows me to give back to the College, which has been so good to me. The Springfield College experience has given me so much over my lifetime. Teaching and coaching has allowed me to find my niche in the world. Springfield College prepared me well for this career and I'm thankful to pass my knowledge and experience on to the next generation of PE students.
I find working with Springfield College students invigorating. The typical student-teacher that comes from Springfield College is a person that I can relate to on many different levels and subjects. While I honor my role as mentor, I relish my role as colleague and friend. Many of my former student-teachers keep in touch with me and I am glad that I could make a difference in their lives.
Chelsea Taylor
Graduate Class of 2014 Occupational Therapy
School of Health Sciences and Rehabilitation Studies
I chose Springfield College for my graduate studies because it educates the spirit, mind, and body. My learning does not happen strictly in the classroom listening to lecturers and viewing PowerPoint presentations. We work directly with individuals from the community—listen to their stories, hold their hands.
Colin Fields
Graduate Class of 2016 Physical Therapy
School of Health Sciences and Rehabilitation Studies
The physical therapy program at Springfield College is very involved with the community and I think that's important. From the first semester we get hands-on experience working with people from the surrounding area and I think that truly helps develop your professionalism.
Rebecca Slate
Graduate Class of 2014 Occupational Therapy
School of Health Sciences and Rehabilitation Studies
Studying at Springfield College has prepared me to be a better occupational therapist because of the Humanics philosophy. OTs believe recovery requires the spirit, body, and mind to work together—studying at a college that also holds this belief has helped instill the philosophy in me.
Patrick Venneri
Community member, Stroke Exercise Group
The Stroke Exercise Group is the greatest program in the world! I don't know why every college doesn't offer a program like this one. It allows Springfield College students to work hands-on with patients and gain experience, while giving patients the opportunity to not only receive quality care, but also to be part of a community with other people.
Elizabeth Land
Graduate Class of 2013 Art Therapy
School of Arts, Sciences, and Professional Studies
Since being here I've learned a whole new aspect of counseling and therapy. My expectation was that I'd learn how to incorporate the healing process of art into traditional counseling practices. While I've learned that to some extent, I've had the experience at Springfield College to focus on the whole of a person and their creative potential and not just the treatment of the disease model of psychotherapy. It has made all the difference in my outlook and how I see myself progressing into working in the field.

"Chomskyesque . . . A useful, thought-provoking challenge to the Western human rights consensus."
—Publishers Weekly
"An engaging and original look at America's foreign policy, accessible and well researched."
—Library Journal
"A prodigiously researched, provocative critique."
"Ideal Illusions forces us to confront a great contradiction: how the noble vision of human rights has been compromised and manipulated to serve the purposes of the national security state and divert attention from deep economic, political, and military pathologies. James Peck's work, based on a rigorous examination of an enormous collection of official and archival documents, is essential, sobering, and eye-opening."
—John Dower, author of Embracing Defeat: Japan in the Wake of World War II
"This incisive and sophisticated analysis exposes the 'hidden history that once again reveals just how tied into U.S. national security concerns the evolution of human rights attitudes has been.' Ideal Illusions is a well-documented, impressive account and a timely warning to seek the interests that lie behind appealing rhetoric."
—Noam Chomsky, author of Failed States: The Abuse of Power and the Assault on Democracy
"In this searing book, James Peck strips away the comforting illusion that, give or take a mistake or two, U.S. foreign policy for the past thirty years or more has been shaped by a dedication to the principles of human rights. He demonstrates how, on the contrary, successive administrations have captured the language of human rights and bent it to America's purpose. In clear and compelling prose, Peck calls on the human rights community to understand the dangers of its reliance on American power—and on American citizens to address the contradictions between a genuine dedication to the rights of humanity and prevailing definitions of U.S. national interests."
—Marilyn Young, author of The Vietnam Wars: 1945-1990
"Ideal Illusions is both a devastating book and a deeply disturbing one. James Peck lays bare any lingering illusions that human rights concerns seriously influence U.S. policy. Yet he goes further: showing how Washington has consciously and cynically manipulated the very concept of human rights to serve the interests of American power."
—Andrew J. Bacevich, author of Washington Rules: America's Path to Permanent War

James Peck is the author of Washington's China. Founder of the Culture and Civilization of China project at Yale University Press and the China International Publishing Group in Beijing, he has written for The New York Times and the San Francisco Chronicle, among other publications.

Announcing Draft Federal Information Processing Standard 180-4, Secure Hash Standard, and Request for Comments
Notice And Request For Comments.
This notice announces the Draft Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 180-4, Secure Hash Standard (SHS), for public review and comment. The draft standard, designated "Draft FIPS 180-4" is proposed to supersede FIPS 180-3.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Back to Top
NIST publishes this notice to request comments on Draft FIPS 180-4, Secure Hash Standard (SHS), which updates FIPS 180-3, Secure Hash Standard, which was approved in October 2008. FIPS 180-3 specifies five secure hash algorithms (SHAs): SHA-1, SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384 and SHA-512. These algorithms produce 160, 224, 256, 384, and 512-bit outputs, respectively, which are called message digests. Draft FIPS 180-4 would update FIPS 180-3 by providing a general procedure for creating an initialization hash value, adding two additional secure hash algorithms, SHA-512/224 and SHA-512/256, to the standard, and removing a restriction that padding must be done before hash computation begins, which was required in FIPS 180-3. NIST proposes adding SHA-512/224 and SHA-512/256 to Draft FIPS 180-4 because they may be more efficient alternatives to SHA-256 on platforms that are optimized for 64-bit operations. Removing the restriction on the padding operation in the secure hash algorithms will potentially create more flexibility and efficiency in implementing the secure hash algorithms in many computer network applications. Examples of the implementation of the secure hash algorithms SHA-1, SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512, SHA-512/224 and SHA-512/256, can be found at http://www.nist.gov/CryptoToolkitExamples. If approved by the Secretary of Commerce, Draft FIPS 180-4 will supersede FIPS 180-3.
Prior to the approval of this proposed standard by the Secretary of Commerce, it is essential that consideration be given to the needs and views of the public, users, the information technology industry, and Federal, State, and local government organizations. The purpose of this notice is to solicit such views. Interested parties may view or download the proposed standard at http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/drafts.html.
Authority: NIST's activities to develop computer security standards to protect Federal sensitive (unclassified) systems are undertaken pursuant to specific responsibilities assigned to NIST in Section 5131 of the Information Technology Management Reform Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-106), the Computer Security Act of 1987 (100), and Appendix III to Office of Management and Budget Circular A-130.

Juneau is the port for whale watching. We were fortunate to view whales from our balcony at the rear of the ship our entire trip. So if whales are your thing do it here. We choose to wander around Juneau- found some awesome popcorn and Alaskan Coffee. If you end up at the far end of Juneau do not worry they offer free shuttle rides all day long to get you to the center of town. Had a lovely time just wandering around and poking in the little side street shops.
No need to take a formal tour. There is so much to see and do in Ketchikan. Adorable water front community offers shopping, salmon river, totem poles all in easy walking distance!
A group of us that meet thru cruise critics rented a van and drove to Emerald Lake and then took numerous side trips all the way back to Skagway. Stopped in at the point where the White Pass rail road off loaded passengers. Awesome antique town- but bring your credit card because the it is expensive to buy any trinkets here. You can get great ice cream and scones at this stop. We were fortunate to see black bears, 1st one crossed the road in front of us and we find she had a cub waiting for her on the side of the road-- we went about 8 miles more and another black bear crosses the road to get to not 1 but 2 cubs waiting for her! Truly a site to behold.
It was a great trip and the rental of the car came to $25 a person.
We stopped at the suspension bridge- they have it so reinforced it doesn't seem like a suspension bridge at all. It cost $18 to cross it- In time however, they will have a completed mining village on one side and a museum on the other. Yes it was worth the $18.

Council providing buildings for young people in danger
Published by Anonymous for 24dash.com in Local Government and also in Communities, Housing
Islington Town Hall
A council is turning its buildings into safe havens for young people in danger.
CitySafe Havens are places that offer refuge to young people who are facing an immediate risk.
Islington Council has now made the town hall in Upper Street and offices in Newington Barrow Way available as the borough's latest safe havens.
And council staff are currently being given training to help them deal with emergencies.
Islington's CitySafe Haven campaign - which was set up by the London Citizens group - is dedicated to the memory of Martin Dinnegan, who was murdered in 2007.
Students from Islington's Mount Carmel school, together with Martin's mother Lorraine, have played a leading role in setting up the CitySafe Havens.
Lesley Seary, the council's chief executive, said: "Nothing is more important than the safety and well-being of our young people.
"We're very pleased to join CitySafe Havens and offer local young people in danger safe places where they can go to find help and refuge."
Work is already underway for other council buildings to become safe havens.
Islington now has 13 CitySafe Havens, including The Happening Bagel Bakery in Seven Sisters Road, and Rowan's Leisure bowling centre near Finsbury Park station.
Isaac Cohen, owner of Happening Bagel, said: "I took part in the CitySafe campaign because we wanted to help and become actively part of a community we have been in for twenty years.
"And if as a safe haven we get to help someone in trouble, then all the better."

Game of Thrones is a site for the HBO-series based on George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire.
New to the series? Read our spoiler-free review of A Game of Thrones.
Read our Privacy Policy.
Via HBO, we've just learned that on November 20th, the first "in-production" behind the scenes look at Game of Thrones season 2 will air just before Boardwalk Empire (which airs at 9PM Eastern).
HBO promises that there will be never-before-seen footage (not too hard, there not having been any footage to date!) and our first look at some of the new characters and actors that populate this season. Best of all, for those without HBO, the footage will shortly afterward go up on Making Game of Thrones, the official production blog for the TV series.
An early Christmas present, clearly—I had thought we'd have to wait until the end of Boardwalk Empire's latest season before we'd get such footage. Most excellent!
The Westeros network consists of several different sites, including a forum and a wiki, for all your A Song of Ice and Fire needs.

It really is very significant to possess a trustworthy baby monitor after you have an infant. Baby monitors are made use of to ensure the safety of one's kid once you are not in the room with them. It really is great to make use of at night time when your baby is sleeping, nap time or maybe should you be undertaking household chores. Regardless of what task you might be performing when you aren't within the room along with your child, it is highly vital to possess a excellent child monitor. Choosing a baby monitor doesn't need to be a difficult decision. Listed here are a lot of the several choices of baby monitors that could offer you an idea of which one particular is ideal for you personally.
Comparing video and audio monitors:
Audio baby monitors - This kind of monitor is pretty equivalent to simple one-way systems. Yet, they have added capabilities with some new technical advances. Inside the older model child monitors, you may only hear your child. Audio child monitors let you to be able to talk back to your baby whenever you hear them waking up, crying or just choose to soothe them along with your voice. It can be a very good use in playing or singing a lullaby or melody that makes your child loosen up. The audio monitors can wireless or wired, based on your preference. The wireless ones provide you with the advantage of a longer range of movement provided that you remain inside the right distance from the range. A single of the drawbacks of wireless then again, are they generally can get additional obstructions than the wired monitors.
