Professional Development
The Office of Postdoctoral Studies sponsors a number of events including the following professional development programs for postdocs. If you have questions about any of the programs, contact Christine Holmes at email@example.com
Postdoc Leadership Program (Certificate Program)
Overview: Leadership involves working effectively with other people to shape social reality and achieve organizational goals. It is a critical factor in organizational and career success. Every postdoc, no matter what field of endeavor, will face a variety of difficult leadership challenges. How these challenges are met will have a significant impact on the postdoc's career and life.
Cosponsored by the Office of Postdoctoral Studies and the VP of Human Resources and Safety Services, this 10-module program is designed to introduce postdocs to some key concepts and skills of leadership in today's complex environment. It provides a practical forum to assess and develop personal leadership skills in self-knowledge, planning and problem solving, group dynamics and team building, cultural fluency, conflict resolution, and facilitation of change.
Schedule: September through March
Program Objectives:
- Explore leadership across cultures
- Enhance awareness of personal style
- Examine and practice tools for use in leadership roles
- Build the Post Doc community
- Provide an opportunity to network with others and learn how to create networks to support change
- Module 1: Understanding Leadership and Personal Style: MBTI and leadership in context
- Module 2: Moving from Group to Team
- Module 3: Understanding Organizations
- Module 4: Where you sit in the organization makes a difference in the view—Leaders and Followers
- Module 5: Dealing with Challenges—Resolving your own conflicts
- Module 6: Exploring Cultural Fluency
- Module 7: Law, Policy and the role of the Post Doc Leader
- Module 8: Dealing with Challenges—considering the nuances of culture in conflict resolution
- Module 9: Leading sustainably: Building Resiliency
- Module10: Bringing it all together: Knowledge Synthesis
Writing Service
Sponsored by the Office of Postdoctoral Studies, the Graduate Writing Service is offering expanded tutoring hours for international graduate students and postdocs (international and domestic) -- 24 hours of tutoring per week! Hours are available Monday through Friday, mornings and afternoons, between the hours of 9:00 am and 4:30 pm. You may make an appointment for 30 minutes or an hour.
Graduate peer tutors have experience writing across the STEM fields, humanities, and social sciences, as well as experience writing grant proposals, application materials, and academic research papers and presentations. They all have received training from ELSO in working with writers across the disciplines and writers who use English as a second language.
These tutors can work with you on a paper or presentation at any stage in the process -- from brainstorming to organizing to polishing. You may make a single appointment to work on a particular project, or make regular appointments to help you stay on track for a larger project, like a dissertation.
To learn more about this program and to schedule an appointment go to: http://cornellelso.weebly.com/tutoring.html
Earn a Workshop Certificate of Participation from the Center of Teaching Excellence
Postdocs have the opportunity to earn a GET SET workshop certificate of participation by attending three or more GET SET workshops within a certificate category within a two-year period. In completing a GET SET workshop certificate, participants will explore multiple aspects of a key topic in higher education. Additionally, earning a workshop certificate allows participants to document their participation in the series and demonstrate their commitment to teaching excellence and professional development, qualities that are becoming increasingly important in the academic job market. Participants may earn up to eight certificates: one in each certificate category.
GET SET Workshop Certificate Categories
Center for Integration Of Research, Teaching, and Learning (CIRTL)
The Center for the Integration of Research, Teaching, and Learning (CIRTL) is a National Science Foundation-funded initiative "committed to advancing the teaching of STEM disciplines in higher education." The CIRTL Network includes 25 top research universities, with coordination from the University of Wisconsin–Madison. It provides teaching professional development for STEM graduate students through faculty based on three core ideas: teaching-as-research, learning communities, and learning-through-diversity. For additional information: cu-cirtl
The Cornell Prison Education Program
The Cornell Prison Education Program is dedicated to supporting incarcerated persons' academic ambitions and preparation for successful re-entry. We believe that Cornell faculty and student engagement as instructors at correctional facilities manifests Ezra Cornell's commitment to founding an institution where "any person can find instruction in any study."
CPEP offers college courses to students in Cayuga and Auburn Correctional Facilities. These students take 3 to 4 classes a semester as they work toward their Associate's Degree. Past course offerings include courses in Sociology, Government, Law, Music, Biology, Economics, and Psychology.

you are viewing a single comment's thread.
bank of america securities issued a report with a buy rating on IPXL lab. yesterday and said the filings will be out in the next two weeks. this explains uptick today.
Yes. That would explain the move. But it irritates the Hell out of me that someone at the company told the analyst but the company did not make a pr to the rest of us. IMO, they have done a super job of developing a franchise but as company managers they are rank amateurs. They need to sell the company.
Wow, Dumbo. what happened to you? You've been the voice of patience over the last 6 months and now you're letting this get your blood boiling? If you look at the experience of the Sr Management, they ARE rank amateurs when it comes to running a publicly traded company. Where's the surprise? IMO the problem is divergent priorities. theirs is to build a long term growth franchise. Ours is to make money in the short term through changes in daily values. Did they say anything to an analyst? I have no idea - do you? I'm not trying to defend their actions - I'm just as frustrated as you - but the message boarders seem to jump to conclusions and speculate rather than attempting to dig out information . Who other than me has talked to the management? I keep in touch with what they are doing - to the extent they can tell me, as they know I'm a shareholder. I'm not talking about the IR people either, but the Sr staff. They can tell you a lot, if approached right and at the right time. My information says they are very close to release and will send out information in the next week - which is entirely consistent with what has been said all along - end of July. Does anyone have inside information that gives them special knowledgd? Probably, and if the analyst has a good relationship with the Sr. Management, perhaps something leaked. More probably he pieced things together and is making some noise. Or, it could be the rumors from the hedge funds - Lord knows they've played us over the last few months - driving the price up and down.Patience everyone. This is a good franchise and will rise to the level it is worth. We've waited this long, what's another few weeks?Bobbie
could you provide a link?

At the end of the classic movie Inherit the Wind, lawyer Spencer Tracy casts a skeptical look at the journalist played by Gene Kelly and remarks, "You never pushed a noun against a verb except to blow up something." Even back then (1960) the media was seen as more interested in sensationalism than truth.
Politics in Canada isn't so much like theatre or some kind of gladitorial contest; rather, the media has come to treat it as a kind of parody, which ironically it has become. It's not real politics but a kind of diabolical stalemate of power. Observing this, Canadian media has resorted to reporting more on the shallowness of the current spectacle in Ottawa that on the price that is paid for such a naked pursuit of an absolute power in a minority context. While a number blame it on the twenty-four hour news cycle or the media's attention to ratings, Oscar Wilde took to another interpretation: "The public have an insatiable curiosity to know everything. Except what is worth knowing. Journalism, conscious of this, and having tradesman-like habits, supplies their demands." He might be proven correct. Pollsters inform us that the average Canadian spends, on average, eight seconds a day on politics.
Question Period these days is all about three things: avoiding any answers, labelling the opposition, and attempting to get key one-liners out into the media. For some of us, including some media types, this penchant for the immediate over the deeper story has played its own key role in the cycle of journalists chasing politicians and vice versa. The fact that all this has been occurring in an atmosphere where Parliament itself is rapidly losing its accountability through the sheer flagrant violation of historic governing procedure has been worrying. Politician and pundit alike share in the distraction. When Graham Greene observed that "media is a term that has come to mean bad journalism," he was merely acknowledging a bias prevalent in society. Politician and pundit alike hover near the bottom of the lowest respected occupations for a reason.
Which makes the Bev Oda story so remarkable in its own way. I suspect it's because the media itself dug deep enough to discover a remarkable tale. Perhaps it's just me, but I get the sense that numerous Canadian journalists and pundits have been coming to grips with the reality that a larger story is developing beneath their endless round of coverage. It pertains to how we get information and it is quickly morphing into how we don't get the accountability required to run a modern democracy. While many have grown upset at how the present government has stalled and overruled committees, turned every question into a slam, and kept the reasoning for important decisions locked somewhere in an ideological vault, the media often appeared more interested in the evasion than the accountability. The prorogation of Parliament last year changed all that, with much attention being paid to a government running by purposefully putting Parliament and its accountability process aside. But, overall, things then reverted to the normal.
The CIDA story about the altered document has captured media attention to the point of a fever pitch. The very fact a physical altered document materialized permitted pundits and media types to immediately leap from conjecture to fact, rousing their investigative instincts in the process. Of late, they are talking about hidden agendas and the avoidance of accountability. "This is just the way the PM operates," they report, as before, but this time there is a smell of something of a more integral kind of journalism in it.
For the media itself, it buys and sells in information. Like politicians, it has wrestled to pry any kind of pertinent facts out of the present government and, like Parliament, has been stonewalled at every turn. Even press conferences are staged to the point never seen before – access, as well as talking points, are severely scripted. It seems to me that in recent days the media has grown concerned over what this means to open and accountable government, and, ultimately, what it means to their own institution. Without access to relevant information, media has been cycling endlessly around the panel shows, becoming like questioners in QP – asking but only getting frustrated and beaten up in return. When Jason Kenney remarked last week that the CBC are "liars," he was categorizing the Conservative view of media itself. For journalists, than can never be good.
Troubling as it might sound, all these shenanigans have led me to an important conclusion: if a government is determined to keep its own dealings in hiding from the Parliamentary process itself, and opposition parties remain powerless to crack open the door of accountability, then only the media can alert the country to the danger to which we are descending. Put simply: if the media can't get access and accountability, then democracy no longer has efficient oversight. The culture of secrecy and deceit is a threat to the media's own estate and to the welfare of any open society. We require good journalism now for our very survival and it's my sense the fourth estate is coming to grips with that reality. Time to push a few nouns.

And now for the rest of the story 1
March 2000 one week after receiving our eldest sons life Ins. benefit following a very tragic death we were solicited by a promissory note company to invest with them at a high yield interest all based on automobile titles as collateral with escrow,this is the same company that goes by WFG or Wynn company, now usaCyberauto,they offer warranties apparently but it is reported that they do not honor these warranties when the purchaser needs it the most.
Like many our promissory note matured and any attempt to contact the company to liquidate our $70,000.00 was unsuccessful, we have not received a single return of amount loaned to this man as for the other $48,000,000 he owes, Now I have read the many postings against the company and have to say whether you were represented for an auto loan or if you loaned money to the company the treatment is all the same,take the money and run!
For the young lady in California who was reported to the credit reporting agencies by this company after she traded it in, I recommend you contact the better business b. or your attorney general for your state let them know that you are a victim of a fraudulent company and that you were targeted by a disgrunted employee who is responsible for reporting you to the credit companies, Chances are it was Janet Price at the Wynn company who did this to you,they are all under extreme investigations by the regulatory boards of commissions and the U.S. government.
Following multiple lenders complaints to the SEC that this company has practiced illegal business tactics,the company reportely pulled switches on colleral and sent corespondance to bogas addresses ect..trying to avoid confrontation and as you read on in the many posting's they treated people very unprofessionally, After about one month with the company I started to question the professional education alone the manner was not at all of a company that invested millions of dollars of other peoples money, the employees cried they smarted off,they basically now that I look back the whole demeanor was off from day one.
And as time goes we learn much more and it only gets worse with time We have now learned from a close source and former employee of the Wynn company that a person named Janet Price is in deep with Mr. Wynn and like the others she too will be facing criminal charges befor we are finished, We have also learned that chapter 11 reorganization bankruptsy emediatly turned into a Chapter 7 which was filed the first week of August 2002, at a deficit of $48 dollars owed to at least 800 people accross the South West part of the U.S.
Yes $48 million dollars .....where did it go?
All I know is After research I discovered car lots used to quote un quote raise the funds for the promissory note investors were empty and basically unproductive, with a few junk yard vehicals parked with cob webs and flat tires.I am sorry but it doesnt take a rocket scientist to realize that a company selling junk cars isnt going to make $48 million dollars plus interest to pay investors back, and they surely didnt buy cars with the money as claimed so is our government doing there job with these creeps are they realizing all of this or is the true American dream consist of ripping $48 million dollars off of innocent people and then filing bankruptcy with notices that say you can not attempt to collect your debt. or file suit against him I dont know about anyone else but our government needs to hear this.
I know of a total of $285.000.00 dollars invested out of my small home town alone in Arizona and this was all based on certified cashiers checks withdrawn from these innocent victims bank accounts handed over to Mr. Wynn less than 2 years ago, Sure we all feel like fools believing from officially signed contracts from Mr. Wynn that this company had been in business for 11 years and kept all collateral in escrow so where is it
where is the $48 million dollars?
The last investor from our area handed over a check and never saw his first interest check it was like burning $60,000.00
As I investigate I do not only find this company to operate all over as Auto car sales, warranty companies, promissory note companies, all under new names so many hard to find them all but I am looking and finding!
I have also found the company to fit an old scam called The Ponzi scheme like O.J.,s glove.
Money was taken by investors many old giving up there only means of retirement or like myself all I had left from my lost son!
But they do not concern themselves with us they are heartless and cruel and as crooked as they come, I welcome a rebuttal from SOB from this company I dare them.All I can say is they were robbing Peter to Pay Paul our no collateral was actual the writing is on the wall
Promissory note fraud is usually started with high interest and then it always ends up with first chapter 11 then chapter 7 after a waiting period and this is exactly what Dennis Wynn has done one example ...$285,000.00 between the year 2000 and 2002 and the SEC who has now investigated says they have absolutely no and have had no money for quiet some time, so when I received our interest checks it was from my own investment the interest came after they cashed my check.
Out of my $70,000.00 they have a profit of $58,000.00, some poor fools never saw a single interest check!
All I know is they messed with the wrong person.
I will not stop until we either get paid back the money or Mr.Wynn trades his wife in for a friendly cell mate named Bubba in a federal or state pen Hope you see this Mr. Wynn you know who I am! ..and you know the rest of the story.

He called me back within 10 minutes from my call. He asked me if I was going to go down and shoot up the place. I told him I did not say that and again asked him when he was going to come and get the forklift and replace the batteries and fix an oil leak. He said he would be sending someone over after the holidays. Someone indeed came and picked the forklift up towards the end of the first week of January. About a month ago Rick called me and asked me if I wanted to go to his workplace and inspect the forklift. I asked him if it was fixed and he said it was. I told him I did not need to see it as long as it works, he should just send it over. To date more than a month later and perhaps another half a dozen calls he still ignores my calls and I still do not have my forklift.
A week ago I left a message saying if I did not get a call back I no longer was interested in the forklift and that I wanted my $6500 back. I still haven't heard from him.

The best mass notification strategies for colleges are a combination of communication channels.
If you are on a community college campus during an emergency, you may not get relevant information as quickly or efficiently as you should.
Community colleges are the least likely to have integrated, multi-modal systems to quickly reach the largest number of people when crisis strikes, finds a recent study of Clery Act reports by Siemens Building Technologies division.
The research focused on 77 institutions of higher learning across the country. Common communications platforms were classified into four groups:
The study found that community colleges rely heavily on At Your Side alerts, while public universities and schools located in the South tend to have the most sophisticated plans, including several types of communications platforms and multi-modal systems.
"Our research clearly shows that many colleges and universities can, and should, enhance their systems in order to have the best chance of alerting more people and weathering an imminent threat situation," says Berkly Trumbo, national business manager for Siemens Integrated Security Solutions.

Call or TXT me on 021 063 1589 or send an email to email@example.com.
Your first consultation
Please go to new patients (adults) or new patients (kids) for information regarding your first consultation.
What you're getting...
In my clinic I always treat only one client at a time, so you will get my full attention. I normally do not leave clients with needles in them alone. During the course of every session, I repeatedly check your response to the treatment and adapt your treatment accordingly.
Many patients come for five to eight treatments before their health is so good that they don't need to come regularly, and I often hear that their health keeps improving for months after the last treatment. After that, a check in for a 'tune-up' at the change of the seasons is a good strategy to maintain that level of health and wellbeing.
To be able to deliver this quality of treatment, I conduct a very thorough diagnostic process. This way I can tailor your treatment to your constitution and to your current issues, and not just to your symptoms at the time you come to see me. The initial interview lasts two hours.
If your health is overall great and you want to see me only for a relatively minor condition or an acute injury, then the diagnostic interview may not need to be so comprehensive and you may get your first acupuncture treatment in the first two-hour session.
How to get the most out of acupuncture
Acupuncture works best when you're neither too full, too hungry or too tired. For your treatment to be most effective, please try to arrive 5-10 minutes early for your appointment so your pulse can settle down, and avoid being pressed for time afterwards.
Fees for adults
All prices include GST and cover all materials used in the practice.
Initial consultation (2 hours): NZ$160.00
Followup appointment (1 hour): NZ$90.00
1/2 hour appointment: NZ$50.00 (for acute stuff, established clients only)
Payment options
Cash, online banking, EFTPOS
Cancellation policy
I realise that sometimes you need to reschedule or cancel your appointment. Since I reserve your appointment time exclusively for you, I do need 24 hours advance notice.
Late cancellations may and missed appointments will be charged in full to your account – unless your appointment slot can be filled by another patient, e.g. a patient from the waiting list, or a friend or family member of yours who would like to use your time slot.
No ACC subsidies, sorry
I do treat patients with injuries, and I have seen time and again that treating the whole person – including but not limited to their injuries – is the best way to bring about deep and lasting healing. For their contribution to treatment cost, ACC stipulates the treatment must be aimed at the injury only, and and I can give your child much better care when I'm not restricted by that. I can happily refer you to a trusted colleague if you have an ACC claim and need the subsidy.

If you're reading this right now, be warned, you might turn gay. That's what anti-gay Mission American's radio show host Linda Harvey says.
On a recent radio program Harvey claimed that LGBT news sites and blogs "that are sympathetic to the social and political goals of the homosexual movement" can deceive children into thinking they might be gay.
Taking it up a notch, she warns parents that "homosexual-themed pornography is extremely accessible to young people if they ever visit any websites covering the gay agenda as news" and "if they ... visit these sites some will experience sexual feelings and mistake these for the pervasive fiction of some inborn gay identity."
But gay news sites aren't the only ones with the power of turning children gay she says. Films and President Barack Obama have the same effect on youngsters: "Hollywood and even the top leaders in our country are all busy selling homosexuality to kids" and this message has the ability to "stir feelings in a young person that were not in play before."
Harvey is known for making such claims. She's said in the past that gay rights would not only cost jobs, but also lives, and that gays love Halloween due to its 'demonic' origins.
Listen to Harvey's commentary on the dangers of LGBT news sites in the clip below, via Right Wing Watch:

AbstractBeyond doubt, desalination is growing rapidly worldwide. However, there are still obstacles to its wider implementation and acceptance such as: (a) high costs and energy use for fresh water production; (b) environmental impacts from concentrate disposal; (c) a complex, convoluted and time-consuming project permitting process; and (d) limited public understanding of the role, importance, benefits and environmental challenges of desalination. In this paper, a short review of desalination in Greece is being made. Data on the cost of desalination shows a decrease in the future and the potential of water desalination in Greece. The paper summarizes the current status in southeastern Greece (e.g., Aegean islands and Crete), and investigates the possibility of production of desalinated water from brackish water.
Keywords: brackish water; cost of desalination; desalination worldwide; desalination plants in Greece

First, someone needs to update the forums here to list 2.5.x series in the version dropdown, no?
Second, the link in WP 2.5.1 goes to:
Which has no compatibility list that I could find. So I just assumed (wrongly, natch) that all themes listed are 2.5.1 compatible. Nope.
It's a complete crap-shoot. You have no idea whether the theme you download is going to work "out of the box" or not. Out of the 3 I tried, only one didn't spit back an error on a clean WP 2.5.1 install.
The vast number of themes really are one of the core components of what makes WP cool. But with a theme site that doesn't seem like it was updated in the past 6 months, this really speaks to a disconnect between the developers pushing out code, and the folks responsible for ensuring all the supporting stuff (themes, plugins, etc.) work just as seamlessly as they always have.

The Impact Equation

"Anyone can write a blog post, but not everyone can get it liked thirty-five thousand times, and not everyone can get seventy-five thousand subscribers. But the reason we've done these things isn't because we're special. It's because we tried and failed, the same way you learn to ride a bike. We tried again and again, and now we have an idea how to get from point A to point B faster because of it."
Three short years ago, when Chris Brogan and Julien Smith wrote their bestseller, Trust Agents, being interesting and human on the Web was enough to build a significant audience. But now, everybody has a platform. The problem is that most of them are just making noise.
In The Impact Equation, Brogan and Smith show that to make people truly care about what you have to say, you need more than just a good idea, trust among your audience, or a certain number of followers. You need a potent mix of all of the above and more.
Use the Impact Equation to figure out what you're doing right and wrong. Apply it to a blog, a tweet, a video, or a mainstream-media advertising campaign. Use it to explain why a feature in a national newspaper that reaches millions might have less impact than a blog post that reaches a thousand passionate subscribers.
Consider the phenomenally successful British singer Adele. For most musicians, onstage banter basically consists of yelling "Hello, Cleveland!" But Adele connects with her audience, pausing between songs to discuss a falling-out with her friends, or the drama of a break up. Each of these moments comes off as if she were talking directly with you, and you can easily relate. Adele has Impact.
As the traditional channels for marketing, selling, and influencing disappear and more people interact mainly online, the very nature of attention is changing. The Impact Equation will give you the tools and metrics that guarantee your message will be heard.

Approximately 5 years ago they replaced my outside AC unit. The following year they again had to replace the outside unit. Each time I waited over a week in the dead heat of summer in Houston. Luckily I had a place to stay.
Now this summer they have been out here 3 times to repair an AC leak, again with a service fee each time. This 4th time they said it needs replaced. It went out 4 days ago and might not be available for replacement on the 7th day of no AC. When I asked for a hotel room I was told I could get a 125$ allotment towards a hotel, window AC or fans. Heck you can't stay in a pup tent for 125$ a week. I bought 2 fans but have to live in front of them.
Last week I received a contract renewal and noticed the service fees went from 60$ to 75$. What a joke. This company is not customer oriented at all. Buyer beware.
Some time ago I response from AHS on a complaint web site asking vendors to stop making bogus reports. If this is true the vendors might be in dire need of work so they stick with a company they know is a scam. If vendors are truly not making these posting then AHS is trying to minimize their lack of business integrity.
As I stated before buyer beware. They take your money and provide shody service if they provide service at all.

MSI GTX560Ti 448 Core Review
Metro 2033 and The Witcher 2
Published: 29th November 2011 | Source: MSI | Price: £251.99 |
Metro 2033
Half a frame extra from the MSI. Nothing to write home about though and neither of the cards make much out of their overclock.
The Witcher 2
The Gigabyte card definitely gets the nod in The Witcher 2, a whole 4 frames ahead of the MSI card.
Most Recent Comments
The second of the two cards we have on test today is from MSI. How does it stack up against the Gigabyte?

just buy a 570, please tell me what is Nvidia doing these days
That question needs to be directed at MSI and Gigabyte . Zotac have released a 560TI 448 as well.
That question is definietly one for Nvidia.Quote
Nvidia make the cards the different manufactures just buy them from Nvidia, slap an after market cooler on them and sometimes a custom PCB.
That question is definietly one for Nvidia.
Ok . I just thought that the companies propose the ideas to Nvidia so they can make more money.
just wanted to know why TTL just stopped at 800 Mhz cuz from what i saw on the hardwarecanucks review
they were able to get another 50-80 mhz on the default voltage and it was rock-stable, not to mention they said they could get up to 925Mhz with some tweaking ...
another lucky draw of the lottery?Quote
Nvidia make the GPUs and make money from Gigabyte, MSI etc and they make their money from releasing different versions of the cards with their own custom PCB or cooler.

Lebanon, Ohio (AP) -- A southwest Ohio judge has ordered a new trial for a man found guilty of drowning his wife in a bathtub.
Judge Neal Bronson of Warren County Common Pleas Court on Wednesday ordered a new trial for 28-year-old Ryan Widmer of Lebanon.
A jury in April found that Widmer murdered 24-year-old Sarah Widmer last August.
Bronson says external matters discussed by jurors in deliberations violated Ryan Widmer's constitutional right to due process.
The defense argued that jurors acted as witnesses when they shared their observations of how long it took to air-dry their bodies after showering, and that attorneys couldn't question them.
A message seeking comment was left at defense attorney charlie rittgers' office.
A prosecutor's spokesman says that office is reviewing its options.

Sanjjanna ready for a different ball game
Sanjjanna entered films with controversial movie Ganda Hendathi. Her bold avatars in the film made her popular overnight, but the actress has never enjoyed being connected with only that film, as she moved on to different kind of roles after her first film.
Time and again, Sanjjanna repeatedly said that Ganda Hendathi was not a film that she would like to remember today. The actress, with her best efforts, went to act in different language films and tasted success. She became a well-known face in the Telugu and Malayalam films.
The actress ventured into small screen by entering Bigg Boss Kannada house this year, and was in the news regularly when she was in the house. Now, the actress is ready for a new role. Any guess?
The actress, who was paid peanuts in her early days, is now turning producer! Yes, she has herself confirmed the news to a leading daily. Continue reading the news on the slideshow...

Same problem as everyone else:
My wordpress 3.0 is stuck in maintenance mode, after I tried to upgrade a plugin, the plugin upgrade failed stating:
"Upgrade failed. Could not remove old plugin."
Now the whole site even the /wp-admin just shows this message:
"Briefly unavailable for scheduled maintenance. Check back in a minute."
I deleted .maintenance but it didn't work.
I created plugins.hold and a blank plugins folder.
This worked, so then I started activating plugins one at a time, then refreshing my blog page.
Finally turned out that a whole different plugin could not be activated for some reason or other. Since I hadn't even gotten to upgrading that plugin yet, and it had worked before trying to upgrade the other plugin, I'm stumped as to why it would start interfering now.
But anyway, deleted the offending plugin, manually put the new one in, and now everything is fine.
This has been happening since the last version of WP was released, so it's definitely a problem on their end.
Definitely no more automatic upgrades for me, either, until they get this fixed.

Passenger Feedback
2016 passenger comments:
- "Really friendly drivers. Made even a Londoner feel at home. Great views. The best way to get away from it all. Thanks" feedback from our facebook page, 19th August 2016
- "My husband and I had the privilege of travelling on the shuttle bus from Church Stretton on Sunday 17/7/16. The vehicle was driven by a most caring and informative lady called Alex who had a wealth of information at her fingertips. The concept of having a Shuttle service is excellent and extremely far thinking. It would have been very difficult for us, and all the people using the Shuttle to have driven around the Shropshire hills yesterday due to the high volume of traffic in the area. Once again thanks for implementing a splendid idea." July 2016
- "We (4 girls/ladies) have just returned from a super week near Church Stretton. We loved the area but the highlight of the week was our journeys on the shuttle bus. Our driver (Mervyn) was an excellent driver, very helpful & and such fun- we all had a good laugh which is so important when you're on holiday. Will you please pass on our thanks to him." 16th May 2016
Around 7,000 passengers enjoyed trips on the Shuttle Buses in 2015 and below are some of their comments:
- "Just a quick note to say what an excellent service this is. My husband and I used it every day of the May Bank holiday weekend, getting off, walking, looking at the wildlife etc and re-joining it several times each day. The drivers were excellent and cheerful." 2015 feedback from a holiday maker using the Long Mynd & Stiperstones Shuttle Bus
- "A most enjoyable and scenic journey." 2015 feedback about Castle Connect
- "Just to say how much we enjoyed travelling the circuit with 2 stops to explore whilst on holiday. The drivers were very friendly and negotiated the narrow steep roads with skill. We would not have enjoyed driving ourselves and were free to look at the superb views."2015 feedback from a holiday maker using the Long Mynd & Stiperstones Shuttle Bus
- "Brilliant service, the driver also gave us a guided your on local information on our journey. It's not only brilliant for us walkers on holiday but essential for local people in the villages." 2015 feedback from a holiday maker using the Long Mynd & Stiperstones Shuttle Bus
- "Fantastic service, its makes the area accessible without a car. Long may it last!" 2015 feedback about Castle Connect
- "I found this service simply terrific – as I travelled by public transport and wouldn't have been able to go on several walks I wanted to do, so the shuttle enabled me to see parts of the AONB I wouldn't have seen otherwise. In fact the shuttle was one of the reasons that I choose Church Stretton (and the AONB) as a holiday destination. The opportunity to get around made it even more attractive. So attractive that I can't wait to come back (have already booked flight and accommodation for 16 days in August/Sept)." 2015 feedback about both routes
Castle Connect is not running in 2016
Unfortunately, Castle Connect, which ran between Ludlow, Knighton, Clun and Bishop's Castle will not be running in 2016. This route was set up three years ago as part of Shropshire's Sustainable Transport Project. Now that funding has ceased, the cost of running this service for another year was in danger of putting the future of the Long Mynd & Stiperstones Shuttle at risk. Thank you to all who supported this route over the last couple of years. We are looking at other options to better link the towns with the hills, and will be applying for new grants to support this.

- Adding effects like drop shadows and motion blur
- Creating and animating shape layers
- Building and delivering a broadcast package
Skill Level Intermediate
The previous movie used the only CS6 specific feature that's required by this entire final project. And that is the ability to track a camera's motion. If you don't have CS6 but you do have access to the exercise files, open up Intermediate Comps and you can either work with our Tracked Hero composition or select the Track Null and the 3D Tracker Camera, copy them and paste them into your own Hero + Title composition. I'll close this for now. So we have a nice shot here and we've tracked its motion but it's not long enough to fill our entire composition.
Well, there's a couple of things we can do to help solve this problem. One, is we may not need it to be visible for the entire composition. I'm going to go back to the Final Comp and remember we went ahead and placed these markers that indicated when various pieces of video came into the frame and are out of the frame. In my case, with my own particular arrangement of layers, my own camera move, that time when Hero enters is at 05:16. This time may change depending on how you've arranged your layers and how you animated your camera but this is the number that works for me. I'll click OK.
I'll go to Hero + Title, go to 5.16, press Enter, and that's the first frame where I even need to see these layers. So I'll select the 3D tracker camera and surgery.mov and press the left bracket to justify their in-times to start at this new time. I don't need to move the Track Null because it's not animating anyway and it already fills the entire length of my composition. I'm going to type B to begin my work area at this point and next I need to turn my attention to how to take this video and stretch it out to the very end of the comp because my hero is indeed visible to the last frame of my composition.
Well, to do that, I'm going to press End to move my current time indicator to the end of this composition and I've got a couple of different ways to go. It just so happens there's a really nice keyboard shortcut in After Effects to stretch selected layers to make sure the duration last from the current endpoint to where the current time indicator is. The keyboard shortcut is Cmd+Opt on Mac or Ctrl+Alt on Windows, then press the comma key and, bang, they'll stretch out to go ahead and fill this entire length. If you want to see exactly what that stretch value is, you can go ahead and expand the in, out, duration, and search columns or right-click and choose just to view the stretch column.
So I'm stretching this by just over 208% or just under half speed to fill this required duration. I'll go ahead and close these other column headers. Let's see how this works. I'm going to press the Zero key on my numeric keypad to RAM preview my work area, get frame to start at the beginning of my layers and I'm going to wait till I see this at full speed but I suspect this is going to be a little bit on the stuttery side, let's see how this looks. Here is the full speed playback and now you can really see some staggering to the motion particularly when he turns his head.
I'm not really pleased with that stuttery motion. Well in After Effects, you have a couple of different options to smooth out the motion of a time stretched layer. And they reside underneath the Frame Blending Switch. The camera does not have a Frame Blending Switch because it's not really footage. It's just interpolating its position between keyframes so it's already good. But I'll go ahead and enable Frame Blending in the Frame Mix mode for the Surgery layer and to make sure I see the results inside the comp panel, I will also enable Frame Blending for this composition.
Setting the switch for a layer means that's how it's going to render but if you want to preview it, you need to also enable the switch in the timeline panel. Let's go ahead and RAM preview that, see how it looks. That's an improvement but when he turned his head, his eyes were a bit blurry and that's because Frame Mix mode blends together adjacent frames to smooth out the motion. We can create a bit of a ghosting effect and that what's making me lose some resolution right here.
So I'm going to try the other Frame Blending option of Pixel Motion mode. I'll click it one more time until the slash turns into a solid slash going the other direction and we'll RAM preview that. It will take longer to calculate. I looked at this previously so in my case I'm reloading this from my hard drive. And it looks already to me as if this motion is going to be a lot smoother. Let's go ahead and play it back at full speed now. And yes, everything has a much more liquid, more fluid quality to it and it doesn't feel like it's staggered or stuttering or echoey.
I'm also keeping some better resolution here when he turns his head. I'm not quite getting that blurring as adjacent frames are being mixed together. Pixel Motion actually creates brand new pixels that guess, this is where that pixel probably would be if we really had footage at this point in time. Pixel Motion mode isn't perfect. Occasionally, you'll see some artifacts, particularly along the TV screen there in the background, but frankly by the time I have a nice title here, hopefully my viewers' attention will be on the foreground, not little artifacts in the background.
So I think this is going to be acceptable. Now that we have our main piece of footage tracked and stretched, let's put a title on this scene and that's what we'll do in the next couple of movies.

Hackers will also create a brand new account under a made-up name, add photos from individuals whose photos they have copied and pasted, add a bio, and send "Hello notes" to unsuspecting people. Here are some examples of email headers that one of our staff members received.
In each of these instances, the person sends an email and attempts to start a dialog with you. The person may want money from
you. They may want to steal your identity or compromise your computer by having you click on an attachment or URL link. Regardless of what they may say, it's very important to be aware that this kind of thing goes on. If you know the person purportedly sending you the message, talk to them or call them before answering. Another staff member received a Facebook message from a supposed friend that simply said "hey."
Frauds are adept at reeling people in and they will not give up. The best advice is to be aware and wary at the same time.
Should you have any questions about odd emails received from Facebook, call your BBB to report it or to ask for advice. For spam email, the best thing to do is to report it to Facebook. You can do this by clicking on "Action" and clicking on "Report Spam or Abuse." For the latest on scams, go to BBB.org.

I was messing with my theme editor, trying to figure out Google AdSense and now all of a sudden all my content which was in my center column is justifed to the center instead of to the left.
And I can't figure out what I did to correct the problem.
