This book provides a readily accessible and practical guide to the increasingly important subject of facilities management. It shows the formal basis for the complex and constantly moving requirements of FM and recognises that it is becoming more vital in its role of enabling the core business of a company to function effectively and is fast becoming a methodology for affecting and influencing the profitability of most organisations.
Based upon the author's many years of experience, A Practical Guide to Facilities Management gives an overview of most FM theories and applies them in the workplace. It is a thought-provoking approach to FM practice and illustrates what the author has found to work. Throughout the text thematic graphics are used to present helpful tips, key action points, things to avoid and key elements of theory. An aide memoire summarises each chapter to help assimilation of the key parameters.
The modern challenges of FM mean that more and more managers need to be innovators and to do more with less. This book will facilitate that process. In addition, it provides useful tips on the issue of sustainability and how a company can profitably benefit by FM actions in this area.

WASHINGTON (AP) - At a private meeting of Senate Republicans, Budget Committee Chairman Pete Domenici stood up Thursday and told his colleagues that a declaration accusing President Clinton of wrongdoing without ousting him from office would not be offered at the impeachment trial.
Nobody objected, and an idea pushed by GOP lawmakers for days was suddenly dead.
The scene was described by several people who attended the closed-door meeting at the Capitol. It ended a 24-hour drama over whether the "finding of fact" alternative for punishing Clinton would emerge as a possible endgame solution for the trial.
Domenici and other GOP senators actually knew 18 hours earlier that the proposal was doomed, according to congressional officials familiar with the private deliberations, speaking on condition of anonymity.
At a private meeting Wednesday, Assistant Majority Leader Don Nickles told GOP senators that more than a dozen Republicans would vote against the plan unless five to 10 Democrats signed on.
An additional four Republicans - Phil Gramm of Texas, Judd Gregg of New Hampshire, Bob Smith of Oregon and Richard Shelby of Alabama - opposed the plan outright, the sources said. Several believed that giving Republicans such political cover would embolden more of them to vote against the articles of impeachment than they would without the alternative, handing Clinton an even bigger victory.
Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott, R-Miss., revealed Thursday he also secretly opposed the idea of voting on a declaration accusing Clinton of wrongdoing before voting on the articles.
"I have felt all along that really what we ought to do is do what the Constitution and the rules provide: go through the impeachment trial, get to the articles of impeachment vote and vote on those, and then move on," Lott said.
Before the plan died, Republicans had decided to pursue language for a declaration they believed was likely to draw support from Democrats. One, Sen. Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut, had already expressed support for the concept. "William Jefferson Clinton wrongfully engaged in conduct to delay the discovery and to cover up the existence of evidence and to alter testimony," a draft read.
But Lieberman was asked by reporters Wednesday whether he knew of any other Democrats who were open to the idea, and the senator shook his head. It sent an ominous message to the Republicans.
By the time the GOP caucus met again at 10:30 a.m. Thursday, the plan was dead.
Many Republicans felt the party couldn't afford another partisan vote where it wasn't necessary, officials said. They left the meeting proclaiming that the Democrats, spurred by the White House, had killed "findings of fact."
"The Democrats have blocked it," said Sen. Larry Craig of Idaho, one of the few GOP leaders who had been open to the "findings" idea. "We don't want this to break into a partisan melee."

The Arizona gunman accused of killing six people and shooting the Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords is likely to escape trial after a judge ruled that he was mentally unfit.
The judgment came after Jared Lee Loughner, who has been charged with shooting 19 people outside a grocery store in Tuscon in January, interrupted yesterday's courtroom discussion of his mental health with an angry, incomprehensible outburst.
Mr Loughner was seen burying his head in his hands during the hearing. Then, as an attorney presented an argument to Judge Larry Burns, he rose suddenly behind the defence table and shouted: "Thank you for

"As Unique as the mystery of the perfect Stone Spheres made hundreds of years ago in Costa Rica..."
...you'll find Sight of Emptiness music taking you to an Unique-Solid Journey you wont find anywhere else..."
"Right, quick question, name a metal band from Costa Rica. Come on, the clocks ticking.. you can't? Well, Sight Of Emptiness soon plan on putting that right. Recent winners of the Unsigned Band Contest at Bloodstock 2007, the Costa Rican's funded their own trip over to the UK and, for that determination alone, they deserve your time". Posted by Graham Finney @ (Planet-loud.com UK).
Costa Rica is a small democratic and peaceful country in Central America. When you think of this place, you might think tropical rainforest, stunning beaches, amazing animals and Latin rhythm. Think again! Officially this country has not had an army since 1949, but that does not count for the Army of Metal that Sight of Emptiness has in stock for you.
Time to introduce SIGHT OF EMPTINESS. A Melodic Metal band from Costa Rica. The current lineup consists of Eduardo a.k.a.fILTHY (Vocals), Rodrigo (Drums), Rafa (Lead Guitar), Steban (Bass) and Gabriel (Guitar).
Officially Sight Of Emptiness have only been around since 2005. With only two years under their belt, they have managed to land some important shows. The first show was on April 17th, 2005 and with great reviews and positive energy, they were destined to continue. For their second show ever, they were hand picked to be the opening act, when one of their main influences - Dark Tranquillity, was visiting their home turf.
The band members continue to put everything aside and completely focus on their music. They released the self funded Debut Album called "Trust Is a Disease"(2007) that have received excellent reviews and Sold Out within 4 months. The debut album contains 8 songs, "Desolation Whispers" is the first single/video, other titles are: In death State, Wall of Pain, Complex Mind, etc. This is what "fILTHY" have to say about the concept behind "Trust is a Disease" lirycs: "We are not trying to save the world, we stay away from politics, religion, I like to write about life as I see it".
When they entered the Bloodstock Unsigned Contest, they knew they had a strong following around Costa Rica, but that they would actually win over 100 bands that came from much larger countries was a complete surprise. For the first time EVER outside of Costa Rica, Sight Of Emptiness played on the main stage at the Bloodstock Open Air UK 2007 on Aug 16th. Playing in front of a huge crowd and sharing the Main Stage with such acts like: In Flames, Dark Tranquillity, Arch Enemy, Nevermore, Lacuna Coil, Testament, Epica, Scar Symmetry, Dream Evil, Firewind and many more. Great reviews all over and total support from the crowd, just confirms what Sight of Emptiness has in store for YOU.
The band has already won the AWARD of "Artist Of Greatest International Exposure " against the best POP & JAZZ bands in Costa Rica. They were also nominated in the category of best metal album. (Trust is a Disease, 2007).
2010 & Future
Sight of Emptiness have set "Absolution of Humanity" (2010) as the title of their second journey. Representing a whole new spectrum of creativity, diversity and aggressive melodies , "Absolution of Humanity" is the album that will take the Costa Rican band to new horizons and help them conquer the extreme metal genre worldwide. Mastered by one of the best European Producers as we speak, Jens Bogren owner of "Fascination Street Studios"(Opeth, Soilwork, Amon Amarth, Bloodbath, Symphony X, Katatonia, Swallow the Sun), did an AWESOME job and took the album to a new level. Expectations are very high and did transform this Upcoming Masterpiece as the most awaited album for a Metal act in Costa Rica and the growing fanbase worldwide.
"After playing every bar and every corner that their home country has to offer, they are now ready to conquer the rest of the world."
Combining aggressive riffs reminiscent of At The Gates, with melodies similar to In Flames, the tight structures of Behemoth and never afraid of experimenting with refreshing new elements. That and more is what you'll get in every song from the Upcoming Album: "Absolution of Humanity".
" The new outcome from Sight of Emptiness is a brutal expression of excellent musicianship, rock solid songs and tons of attitude! It was a pleasure working with them." JENS BOGREN

Grier was the first African-American woman on the cover of Gloria Steinem's Ms., making her an early feminist icon; she still refers to Steinem as her mentor.
The movie Foxy Brown turns 40 on April 5. We spoke to Grier about the film's legacy, Grier's extensive charity work ... and knitting. (Yes, you read that correctly.) At 64, she remains feisty, eloquent and as always, a whole lotta woman.
PEOPLE: Tell us about your work with Dining Out For Life.
Grier: "Whenever people ask about Dining Out For Life, I always ask them, 'Have you ever been ill for seven days? And you had no food, no one brought you soup? You couldn't get to the hospital? Well, think about that going on for years. For the rest of your life.'"
"The proceeds from Dining Out For Life, which this year falls on April 24, go to your local HIV/AIDS and cancer organizations to provide people with sustenance. Restaurants across the country – this year, there's probably 3,000 restaurants in 60 cities – participate. Last year, we raised $4 million, but when someone brings you the gift of food, you're getting something beyond that, something spiritual and profound."
PEOPLE: You recently Tweeted about Peaches HotHouse in Brooklyn. Can you give us some other restaurant recommendations?
Grier: "Well, in Denver, we have Piatti's, and Panzano's. There's a place in Chicago, Nonna's, that's fantastic. We're going to be at Pinocchio's in Palm Springs. I'll be all over."
PEOPLE: Sounds like you've got a lot on your plate.
Grier: "People ask me, 'When do you sleep?' And I say, 'Well, every three days ... maybe.' But when you have to do things, and it's in your heart ... it's not work. I'm a cancer survivor, and I remember what it meant to have people care for you, to take time off and to provide for you. Until you're really sick, as I was for two years, you don't realize how much sickness impacts people, and not everyone has someone to bring them a bowl of soup. So, I know what that means. I lived it. I survived it. And I made this promise to my soul and the souls of the universe, that if I survived this cancer, I was going to serve, and that's what I'm doing."
PEOPLE: So, the other big news is that Foxy Brown turns 40 this year.
Grier: "Yes! [laughs] And it's been extraordinary ... I love people who approach me with large Afros and leather pants. I was one of the children of the women's movement – Gloria Steinem was my mentor – and Foxy Brown represented, for me, one of the first truly independent women in cinema."
"I remember not being able to get into veterinary school. I was great with math and science in school, but if I walked in as a woman of color, I wasn't going to get that position as a student. So, for the women who couldn't vote or drive or get an education, Foxy was the voice that spoke for them."
"I'll never forget being in a classroom, and being told that Plato said women could be leaders. That was all she wrote! Women have done so much, and we can keep doing it, because it's in our hearts to do it."
PEOPLE: Who do you look to today as carrying on the legacy of people like Gloria Steinem and yourself?
Grier: "There's Angelina Jolie. There's our First Lady Michelle Obama – she gets out in the trenches, and whatever knocks she takes, she's not about that; she has enormous energy. But there are so many of my contemporaries who work under the radar, who don't have the press there for their work, who just go out and do it."
PEOPLE: You're a big animal supporter, too.
Grier: "Well, I work with several groups. One is PAALS For Life, for People And Animals Living Synergistically – they're a nonprofit who pair senior citizens with senior animals. Elderly people who have lost their homes, and animals who have been abused, come to live at their locations and support and care for each other."
"Then there's Pilots N Paws, which pairs with pilots to transport animals out of no-kill shelters to foster care and adoptive homes. Last summer, we moved over 530 dogs out of Georgia, for example."
PEOPLE: You mentioned to Oprah in 2011 that you love to knit. What have you been knitting lately?
Grier: "Afghans and hats. [laughs] They're easy! My sister had a knitting shop in Colorado, and we would find these women who were living out on farms and bring them in to the shop, and we would all get together and knit caps and blankets for newborns and also for people going through chemo at hospitals."
"We discovered there were a lot of women farmers, and we'd go out and meet with them, and they'd sell us wool from their sheep or alpacas. There's a lot of single women farms out there who love being part of a grassroots, ground-up community like that."
PEOPLE: Do you still have your black belt in barstools?
Grier: "Yes I do! Not only in barstools, but in skillets! I come from a long line of skillet-throwing women."

Folks, we're sorry to report that the Rangers are still flirting with Mike Peca. Whether or not Peca signs with the Blueshirts depends a lot on what the Rangers plan to do with Darius Kasparaitis, given the enormous salary cap implications that go along with Kaspar's salary.
There's just no reason to get excited about Mike Peca as the third-line center. None that we can see, anyway. He played just 35 games last season, and hasn't played a full slate of games since the '01-'02 season, and his production has decreased every season since 2002: 60 points in '02, 42 points in '03, 40 points in '04, 23 points in '06, and 15 points last season. Really, this is the guy?
We don't really think the Rangers are that interested, actually, because they would have made a move by now. Rather, Peca was dancing with the Maple Leafs, and is apparently annoyed that the Leafs haven't moved faster. So, Peca may be the one fueling Rangers rumors to help speed up the process of his signing with the Leafs. Whatever it is, rather than waste the last center spot on Peca, we'd rather see one of the kids. There's enough talent on this team that the Rangers can afford to do such a thing and just see how training camp plays out.
Other than the Peca news, the league released the pre-season schedule, and the Rangers' first game will be September 21 against the Devils at the Garden.
Also, sorry we missed this great entry in the Times on Mike Richter, who competed in the Lake Placid triathalon last week. We can't be the only ones still waiting on Richter to come to the front office...

Note: This racquet is factory strung with Head Sonic Pro Black 16g at mid tension.
The lightest and fastest feeling of the Prestige line up, this S version provides easier access to spin. Our TW testers were impressed with the blend of stability and maneuverability from this racquet. The precise Prestige feel remains, even if the weight doesn't. At the baseline this racquet feels very fast and easy to swing. Players who like to take a big cut at the ball and hit with a lot of topspin will find some added kick to their shots with this one. The feel from the stringbed is very comfortable and plush. The player feels connected to the ball, promoting confidence during aggressive hitting. At net the blend of stability and maneuverability makes this racquet feel solid, yet surprisingly easy to get into position. A great fit for those seeking a precise feel in a mid weight racquet, this one is a great option for those looking to step up to a Prestige for the first time as well as those who are starting to find the heavier Prestige racquets now too demanding. A versatile racquet that suits many playing styles, this one works best for players 4.0+ NTRP.

d3o belongs to the "smart materials" category, which is a futuristic material with abnormal behavior characteristics. More specifically, d3o belongs to a subcategory of "dilatant foams", which dramatically change their behavior under dynamic loading or impact. Integrated in the lay-up and positioned in the shaft of the racquet, d3o offers new possibilities for tennis players. The d3o technology is able to sense the needs of the players during different strokes (it's able to adapt to you). On high-speed impacts (aggressive shots), the smart molecules lock together within nanoseconds and dramatically increase the stiffness of the whole racquet frame to provide maximum power. On slow-speed impacts (slice or drop shots), the d3o molecules absorb the impact to provide a softer touch for better feel. What does this mean to a tennis player? Passing shots are even harder and drop shots more precise, rewarding your spontaneity and supporting your courageous decisions.
Innegra is the world's lightest high performance fiber. Its extreme toughness together with Head's advanced carbon composite technology leads to an ultra tough hybrid composite. This Head Innegra hybrid-composite structure is integrated into the racquet for shock absorption and improved stability. As a result vibrations are reduced by up to 17% on ball impact for improved control and precision -- protecting the player from the forces of a ball impact. On top of this, Head's new hybrid-composite structure with the ultra tough Innegra fiber considerably extends the performance of a Head racquet. With Innegra, racquets remain in perfect condition without losing any performance properties.

What are you most proud of? EVERYTHING! I never ever thought I would or could have sewed a classic tailored shirt...but I did! And David wore it as soon as the last stitch was sewed!
What advice would you give someone starting this project? Just do it! Don't be scared. It's really not as intimidating as it sounds or feels like it is. And the worst thing that could happen is you throw away some fabric...but Pam is an amazing instructor and she really really explans everything wonderfully. In fact, all the things I learnt in this class, I was able to apply to my other projects directly after it. I am sooooo glad I took this class, and I really feel my sewing has been brought to another level. Pam, thank you so much for teaching this class. I learnt so much, and for a self-learner, fairly new sewer....this was amazing! THANK YOU!
*Oh yes, the pattern doesn't match....on purpose. I'm saying that because it makes me feel better! hahahahah!
The shirt is beautiful. Matching the pattern like that on your first try! You'll be pro in no time.
Thank you!!
I love your shirt. I just bought this pattern today to make for my hard to fit son. I hope my shirt turns out as nicely as yours. I love the batik print. Congratulations!
I'm sure it would!!! I'm starting on a 2nd...you'll be hooked!
Beautiful! I'm looking forward to a chunk of time this summer when I can actually go through this class and do a project. Thanks for the inspiration. :)
Thank you Carol :D You shoulldddd sooooo take this class, tag me when you upload an image, I would love to see it!
Hi! I am so pleased with your very first shirt. It looks like you've been making them for quite a while! You've done a great job, and I hope that you keep making them (I'm sure your husband does too) Thanks, Pam
Thank you Pam! I am actually in the process of making a 2nd!! But I am playing with the pattern to make it a little more slim :D I have made a shirt for my son, using your techniques and the same batik for the collar and button band....I wish I could attach the image here...it's sooo cute!! Once, again, thank youuuuu!
Great job! And I think you did a great job on matching the pattern.

This monograph presents the author's personal experience with facially mutilated patients during a period of more than 30 years. It includes material on theoretical esthetics contributed by Michel J. Seghrens, MD, which is not really integrated with the remainder of the book. It contains a subjective personal narrative by a patient who is also a prominent psychologist and a chapter by the same psychologist reprinting her article "The Index of Ego Coding for Assessing Level of Ego Functioning Based on Homeostatic Principles."
It is difficult to pinpoint the readers to whom this book is directed. The main points that Longacre has distilled from his considerable experience must be considered assumptions from a strictly scientific point of view, illustrated but not really documented by the numerous photographs and drawings. It seems unlikely that either practicing plastic surgeons or psychologists will find fresh clinical insights here. The primary-care physician will find that

MANCHESTER, Ky. -- Once known as the "Pain Killer Capital" of the nation, Manchester, Ky., is now known as the "City of Hope."
On a recent night here, hundreds attended the world premiere of "An Appalachian Dawn" - a documentary that tells the story of how God transformed a region held captive by corruption, poverty, and drugs.
Churches Band Together
The story began in 2004. The citizens of Clay County, Ky., were desperate. Their children were dying in record numbers from drug abuse. Drug dealers were rampant.
But desperation turned into prayer, followed by unity as people laid aside their denominational differences and staged a march through Manchester. They told the drug dealers to get saved or get busted. Local church pastors repented for not working together and for letting evil take over the land.
"First of all, when 63 churches in a small county marched through town together -- for us, that was bigger than the parting of the Red Sea. That just never happened. We never worked together," Doug Abner, Manchester Community Church senior pastor told CBN News.
"And today you can talk to the 3,500 or 4,000 people that were there, start talking about the march and everybody tears up." Abner explained. "It was just an awesome thing that happened and then from that, it's like all of the sudden the church had a voice in our community. We thought we had a voice before, but we really didn't."
Wildlife Returns
Since the 2004 march, nearly every facet of society in Manchester has been transformed -- from the drug culture to political corruption. Locals say even the land is responding to the increased presence of God.
"When God comes, He comes like a divine chiropractor," said George Otis, Jr., producer of "An Appalachian Dawn."
"He snaps things back into alignment that have been out of alignment," he said. "Whether it's in the political sphere, the economic sphere, the ecological sphere - He snaps them back into alignment."
"A few years ago there were no elk in this part of eastern Kentucky," Otis said.
"But right now they have the largest elk population east of the Mississippi," he he said. "The black bear have returned in very large numbers, which has brought tourists back into the area, which has begun to rekindle the economy in some of the local communities."
Even the city's water is better. In 2008, Manchester was named for having the best-tasting water in a city by the state of Kentucky.
Transformation Revival
Otis has researched nearly 800 cases of transformation revival around the world. But until Manchester, he said there was not one place in America that had met all the criteria.
"Transformation is not simply confined to a series of great meetings in churches or conferences," he explained. "So when you talk about the presence of God in church meetings -- that's one thing - but what about at City Hall?"
"Can they feel the presence of God there? What about in the local campuses?" Otis asked. "Can they feel it in the classrooms or in the jail and so on?"
Otis said the power of God fell on Manchester because the people of God fell to their knees.
"They had two choices. They could either throw in the towel and say, 'We're losing an entire generation to drugs. There isn't going to be a tomorrow in Manchester.' Or they could fight back," Otis explained.
"And it wasn't the whole community that fought back, it was really only a handful of people that did," he said. "But that's very typically the way it works in genuine transformation stories."
Phases of Transformation
Otis thinks Manchester met the three distinct phases of Transformation.
"What we call the invitation phase, where people call upon the presence of God to come because it's absent," he explained.
"There is a visitation phase where God responds to that entreaty of His people, and He comes at some dramatic moment, and something that wasn't there is there," he continued. "And then there is this maintenance phase, where God comes to His people."
Former drug dealer Steve Collett attended the premiere of the documentary.
"It was amazing. I never dreamed that God could take somebody like me, and the way I used to be, and put me where I am now," Collett told CBN News.
After years of running from the law, Collett gave his life to Jesus Christ and now helps other men get off drugs through a program known as Life Line at Manchester Community Church.
"Guys that's done time with me, they think, 'well he's either lost his mind or this is real,'" Collett said. "And I tell them, 'Look man, I found the right thing and his name is Jesus.' And we've had great results with that."
Hope for America
This fall, the story of Manchester hits the road in what they're calling "The Hope for America Tour," a 50-city tour across the U.S., featuring the documentary. The movie is already inspiring many who seek revival in their cities and towns.
Find out if the "Hope for America Tour" is coming to your city and watch a preview of the documentary.
Anita Rayner drove three hours to Manchester to watch the documentary. She lost her son to a drug overdose when he was only 42.
"I was in tears a lot. It brought back a lot of memories. But that's why I have such a passion to try and help other people that are addicted," Rayner said.
Otis believes telling Manchester's story around the country will pave the way for other American towns and cities to see God's real transformation.
"I believe we are now 12 to 24 months away from a whole new crop of transformed communities in different parts of the U.S.," Otis said. "I can't tell you which ones they're going to be, but some of them are going to ignite."
Abner saod he still can't believe all that God has done in their town since the churches' march of 2004.
"I said, 'Lord, why Manchester? Why would Manchester, Kentucky, be the place?'" Abner recalled. "And He said, 'Because if people can understand how bad it's been and where you are now, it will give every city in America hope that they can change.'"

A book has been released (October 2012) by Aaron James titled "Assholes, a Theory."
The philosophy professor at Harvard takes a stab at trying to define the Asshole, with the idea that it's an important step because supposedly there are so many of us around.
The Scientist online newspaper has published an excerpt on their website.
As a man who is frequently called "asshole" in jest, and sometimes seriously, I take offense at James' definitions. I've frequently responded to that label with "But at least I'm not a jerk." To James, the jerk is a softer version of the asshole, but in my experiences, I believe he has the definitions flip-flopped.
James opines that assholes do things out of a feeling of entitlement. Cutting in front of lines because they feel they're owed a pass. Swerving through traffic not considering other people's safety. He says that we enjoy special advantages and take advantage of them systematically.
He's wrong.
On Entitlements
I frequently cut in front of lines. Whether it's trying to get into a restaurant with friends or family, getting on a roller coaster, avoiding the maze at the airport, or just wanting to skip the hour long wait at a government office, I almost always try to find a way to jump ahead of the crowd. Do I feel entitled? Do I believe I deserve to get ahead of others?
Absolutely not. I try to jump the line because I take calculated risks and try for rewards. It comes from a sense of confidence, not a sense of entitlement. The worst thing that happens when I'm denied front-of-line access is…I end up at the end of the line, where I would be if I didn't take a risk. I do consider the other people in line that I pass, and my thought usually is, "if they're unwilling to take a risk, they should not be rewarded." I've encountered some lines that are consistently unjumpable. If I go to those places, I just accept waiting in line (but still I try to get around it). Confidence is easily measured in every asshole, but we don't do things confidently because we're entitled.
On Having Special Advantages
I remember my early 20s — always passing through lines at nightclubs and restaurants, even though I wasn't (always) with hot women, or even with hot guys. It was never a problem, and rarely did I actually pass a $20 or $50 to the bouncer or hostess. In my mid-20s, I would regularly go to conferences and conventions that cost others thousands of dollars for entry, but I paid zero. In my 30s, I was welcomed to restaurants and concerts and events in lieu of friends who waited in line for tickets and were denied. Heading into my 40s, I'm finding myself with access to vacation villas and yachts and private beaches. In none of these situations am I receiving special advantages — in every situation, I am bringing people something of value. I've earned a reputation, and I have a strong network of dedicated people who spend money. If I am "awarded" with access, it's only because my reputation tells the person giving me access that they will benefit from my presence.
Gaining that reputation took time, it took years to grow, it took losses on my part to protect it. Redeeming favors is something the Asshole does, because he knew when he did favors that they would be paid back later. This isn't any special advantage, it again was a calculated risk taken, with the reward coming later. Sometimes the reward comes much later, even a decade later. But there's nothing wrong or unearned about it.
The Asshole versus the Jerk
I've been called Asshole many times — sometimes in jest, sometimes in jealousy or envy, something just in a passive aggressive response to me hopping a line. My go-to response is, "At least I'm not a jerk."
Aaron James opines that jerks are softer versions of assholes. He's wrong. The asshole moves with determination and confidence, but he's aloof at the outcome. The jerk pushes through like a knife, and he won't take no for an answer. Assholes put themselves first, but know full well that others will gain something along with them. The jerk is on his own, disregarding the needs and feelings of others.
They're not even on the same level, two completely disparate types of people. When I do something to gain advantage, I know I will be taking a calculated risk for a hopeful reward. Jerks are just pompous because they have nothing to lose, whereas Assholes have their reputation to protect.
The Jerk and Danger
The Jerk tends to not think of how his actions affect others. He doesn't care about anything but himself. He's the one speeding and weaving through traffic, causing a danger to those around him. He's the one who will push and push and push to get something, even if it burns a bridge at that establishment forever. The bodies he fell that lay behind him are irrelevant and inconsequential to his future, because he doesn't care to build bridges when he can knock down walls permanently.
Assholes can take calculated risks that have the appearance of danger or mystery, but that's more a character affectation than it is a truly dangerous behavior. Jerks care too much about the outcome so they forget the calculation in risk; assholes are outcome independent, so if something fails, they have 10 more things they want to go after instead. There have been many times where I've been with a date, running late to an event. Instead of driving really fast to make it on time, I'll drive slower, knowing that there's no loss in being late. If we miss the event, other doors are waiting to be opened. I won't put my life, my date's life, or the lives of others at risk all for one simple party when there are hundreds more going on around the area.
That's the Asshole putting himself first, but also having others involved in the reward even though he alone takes the risk. With the Jerk, there are rarely other people who gain from his behaviors, and many who have something to lose from them. Danger is only sexy when there's a real gain and a minimized risk.
Attraction to the Asshole
There's no doubt that women tend to be attracted to assholes and jerks. The adage is that "Women like bad boys." But this isn't really true, either. Most women appreciate confident men who are outcome independent. This means the guy is cocky about what he wants, but aloof if he doesn't get it. That's an Asshole. A jerk, though, will waste his time continuously trying to get something he wants, instead of turning on his heel and aiming at a different target to get.
Yes, some women like jerks — but as many friends of these women know, there's an underlying sadness in the woman who is attracted to a jerk. When a woman meets an asshole, though, if she can parse through his rough frame, she generally sees the kindness and softness that is hinted at in his actions. He's not just acting entitled or advantaged for his own gain. There are usually others along with him. He's self protective of his inner circle, but can not be concerned with the anonymous unknowns around him as they haven't taken the time to join his group.
Confidence, charisma, aloofness, outcome independence, knowing when you give up: these are the positive traits of the Asshole. The jerk, on the other hand, will switch to meanness and anger and even hints of violence in order to get what he wants, and let the cards fall where they may.
There's a chasm between the two, and Professor James has seemingly missed the ball on it, even though in his photo and biography, he probably is an asshole himself. That's a point in his favor, throwing off the truth of the subject to protect his own sphere of influence.

Dripping swimsuits on the clothes line, bare feet inside the house and out, late dinners on the terrace, sand on the floor, in the car and on the feet, gelato and peaches, evening games of ping-pong in the garden, novels left open on the sofa (and more often than not on the floor), a warm breeze through the house ... thinking about this first week of summer, these are some of the things that come to mind. Thought if you asked my kids, they would undoubtedly add "no homework". And so it is. Welcome, summer!

Assessment for Interventionby Rachel Brown-Chidsey Kristina J. Andren
This cutting-edge volume offers a complete primer on conducting problem-solving based assessments in school or clinical settings. Presented are an effective framework and up-to-date tools for identifying and remediating the many environmental factors that may contribute to a student's academic, emotional, or behavioral difficulties, and for improving all children's educational outcomes. Concise, consistently formatted chapters from leading researchers describe problem-solving based applications of such core assessment methods as interviews, observations, rating scales, curriculum-based measurement, functional behavioral assessment, and published tests. Including helpful case examples to demonstrate each method in action, the volume also offers invaluable tips on collaborating with teachers and school administrators, writing solution-focused psychoeducational reports, and evaluating the effectiveness of interventions.
Practical Handbook of Multi-Tiered Systems of Supportby Rachel Brown-Chidsey Rebekah Bickford
Accessible and comprehensive, this book shows how to build a schoolwide multi-tiered system of support (MTSS) from the ground up. The MTSS framework encompasses tiered systems such as response to intervention (RTI) and positive behavioral interventions and supports (PBIS), and is designed to help all K-12 students succeed. Every component of an MTSS is discussed: effective instruction, the role of school teams, implementation in action, assessment, problem solving, and data-based decision making. Practitioner-friendly features include reflections from experienced implementers and an extended case study. Reproducible checklists and forms can be downloaded and printed in a convenient 8 1/2" x 11" size.

I won't O til the end of the month around the 27th :-(. O'd around the 30th of last month but had a procedure that day to remove my IUD so I was unable to BD for a whole week. I have opks ready, have been checking my cervix, and have a basal thermometer on its way. I'm ready and hopefully it happens fast.

Jeremiah & Jasmine-May 2013
I just added myself to the chart! Very exciting! With my daughter we didn't get pregnant right off the bat and I ended up starting temping, opk, and charting...got pg the first cycle I tried all methods combined.
I'm hoping it works a little faster this time as I'm a teacher and a June baby would be wonderful for us financially! Baby dust to all! :)
So AF has packed up and left. Now, the waiting game begins. 5 days until I start OPK's. I'm hoping this is a shorter month for me (I get a few 32 day cycles here and there throughout the year), but no guarantees. Anyone else have a long cycle?
#1 - DS Layne Peter (10/17/2008, C/S)
#2 - DS Lyndon Tate (12/02/2014 RCS)
#3 - DD Larissa Tori (EDD 9/25/2016)
AF still in town for 2 more days, I'm hopeful the October Pee Party will be a preggy BFP party for all of us!

The pathology of congenital hypertrophic pyloric stenosis is definitely known. The pathologic physiology is still a matter of dispute. Some believe that the symptoms are due to the mechanical obstruction of the tumor itself. Others hold that spasm is responsible for the manifestations of this condition. Both factors probably are operative. Whatever view is held, the picture of pyloric stenosis is easily explained. Narrowing of the pylours, anatomic, spastic, or both, obstructs the passage of food from the stomach. All the symptoms may be referred to that single fact. In order to force the contents beyond the pylorus, gastric peristalsis is exaggerated. This proceeds until the waves show through the abdominal wall running from cardia to pylorus. Visibility of the contractions is enhanced by the diminished tone and atrophy of the musculature of the abdominal wall, due to the virtual starvation which accompanies the condition. The pyloric tumor may be

30 homes burn in San Diego County
SAN DIEGO -- A fast-moving wildfire ignited hillsides and destroyed more than two dozen homes Wednesday in the coastal city of Carlsbad as weary firefighters scrambled to control multiple blazes in Southern California on the second day of a sweltering heat wave.
Flames were shooting up along canyon ridges as thick black smoke darkened blue skies over the small city, about 30 miles north of San Diego, known for its Legoland California amusement park that was closed Wednesday because of a power outage.
Mandatory evacuations were in progress, and more than 11,000 notices were sent to homes and businesses. Local TV broadcasts showed the blaze engulfing suburban-style homes with manicured lawns.
No injuries were reported.
State fire Capt. Mike Moehler told KCAL-TV that all of the homes were in the same neighborhood and engines were being called in from across the region to help.
The blaze was one of several wildfires that firefighters in San Diego County were battling amid hot, dry and windy conditions.

Relief may be available for those Lowcountry homeowners cringing at the notion of paying higher premiums for the federal flood insurance program.
The new option is private flood insurance.
The Flood Insurance Agency of Gainesville, Fla., has entered the South Carolina market. This comes after the company already has established a presence in more than a dozen other states, including Florida, New Jersey and Virginia.
The company, underwritten by Lloyd's of London, has patterned some elements of its product after the National Flood Insurance Program. That means coverage up to $250,000, but some of the distinctions are that no elevation certificate is required and premiums can be lower by comparison, officials said. An elevation certificate basically determines the base flood elevation of the property, identifying its true risk.
Andrew E. Muller, an adviser at Charleston-based Mappus Insurance Agency, said the newcomer offers an option for those who may have been priced out of buying and selling homes.
He cautioned, however, that would-be buyers do their homework since the private program requires a $5,000 deductible when a claim is filed. Some mortgage companies require no more than a $1,000 deductible and could insist on federally backed flood coverage.
Muller added that other private flood carriers are expected to eventually enter South Carolina.
There's been no shortage of horror stories about how the Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act is expected to drive up premiums for homeowners who live in federally designated flood zones.
The 2012 law was designed to help get the federal flood program on better financial footing. The reforms include newly drawn maps and the elimination of subsidies for policyholders. Rate increases are expected to average 10 percent, but some have shown to be much higher.
The new federal law also erases subsidies once a home has been sold, a change that threatens to derail home sales in many markets, including the Lowcountry.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency announced last week that some premiums won't be raised until the fall of 2015 at the earliest because of delays passed by Congress last month. That affects hundreds of thousands of U.S. homeowners who pay "grandfathered," below-market rates for insurance because their homes were in compliance with earlier flood codes.
The Flood Insurance Agency says its program won't solve all issues, but its program does offer an option for those who are required to buy flood insurance. It's available at www.privatemarketflood.com - the company's website.

And yet it is still possible to be disappointed by the actual outcome as reported by APPE. As the chart above shows: Q4 production at 4.4MT was the lowest since the […]

Do you enjoy going to class in the lab or field? Thrive working with fungi, birds, fish, mammals, or trees? Dream of landing a "green collar" job in business? Want to push for policy toward sustainable development? Are you inspired to organize your community toward sustainability and social justice? ENVS students do these things.
Listen to Environmental Science major, Rachel Barone, discuss her summer work at Argonne National Lab:
We believe today's environmental problems require interdisciplinary thinking and integrated solutions. Our department trains students to see these problems from multiple perspectives: scientific, humanistic, political, ethical, cultural, historical, and geographic. Students have opportunities to do original, hands-on, mentored projects in the context of science, social values, writing, and economic and political realities.
ENVS faculty also involve students in their research focused on local freshwater quality, soil contamination, archaeology, forest management, aquaponics, sustainability in the global south, local environmental history, policy, and communication about current environmental issues.
We are a small close-knit community inside and outside the classroom. The Department of Environmental Studies and Sciences at Ithaca College is an exciting place from which to launch your environmental career.

Gates Says His Points About Obama Have Been Mischaracterized
Reports this week about former Defense Secretary Robert Gates' new book have implied that he thinks President Obama approved a 2009 troop surge in Afghanistan believing the strategy would fail. But Gates tells NPR that's not right. He believes Obama became skeptical about the "troop surge" later on.

This spring, the University of Hawaii Maui College enrolled 4,313 students, the highest spring enrollment ever. For our college faculty and staff, these students represent opportunities to extend student learning by expanding personal horizons. We desire not only to introduce students to new disciplines and fields of study, but also to new ways of viewing the world.
For those students who have already identified career interests, faculty members help them authentically apply knowledge and skills by performing real service. Our nursing, dental, culinary, agriculture, automotive, electronics and information technology programs - to name just a few - replicate settings where services can be provided, needs met and solutions uncovered.
Students in our liberal arts program expand their horizons through cultural, historical, philosophical, scientific and artistic frameworks. Exposure to new ways of seeing and understanding the world helps students discover and clarify their interests, values and aspirations.
Increasingly, our faculty members expand students' personal horizons by developing international connections. Many students have not yet had the opportunity to leave the islands. A few have never traveled beyond Maui. Sensei Hiroko DeLeon, our Japanese professor, created a Japanese/English language exchange program that permits our students to be coached, seen and heard by students from the Kure National Technology University. Maui College students, in turn, assist Kure students with learning English using Skype technology over the Internet. Video and voice technologies have also permitted the college's faculty to design opportunities with Japanese, Canadian, Filipino, Korean and other international college and university partners, and have led to faculty exchanges, such as Debra Nakama's upcoming visit to Mariano Marcos State University and a visit by their faculty to Maui.
Plans are under way to connect dental and culinary students with students and faculty at Southern Alberta Institute of Technology in Canada, in a unique netbook program. The college's dental assisting and dental hygiene faculty will assist the Canadian dental faculty members on their effective use of new dental software. Canadian culinary faculty members who have successfully used Web-based culinary software will be assisting Maui College Culinary Academy faculty to strengthen our student interaction with browser-based resources.
These initiatives anticipate the universal availability of global broadband Internet and telecommunications. Jose Bernier, our new vice chancellor for information technology, leads this video conferencing effort, which will eventually connect more students from other parts of the world with students on Maui. Maui College faculty members will then help design learning experiences that will challenge these global classes to better understand issues, critically evaluate solutions and act to improve our collective future.
The college's Spanish and Japanese language faculty members also regularly offer summer study abroad experiences. Sensei DeLeon's leadership over the years has inspired 37 students to study at various universities in Japan - more than any other college or university in the state.
Finally, the Maui Language Institute, led by Alice Luther, enrolls international students who come to Maui to hone their English skills, and often stay to continue their higher education here. This semester, the institute is hosting students from Brazil, China, Columbia, Czech Republic, Italy, Japan, Korea, Canada (Quebec), Switzerland and Thailand.
At this month's inaugural University of Hawaii Maui College Canoe Regatta, our international and local students learned about safety, paddling techniques, Hawaiian culture and competition. They may have been in different canoes, but they were all paddling in the same direction . . . toward a future together on our campus.

It is penned by UH-Maui College staff and is intended to provide the community of Maui County information about opportunities available through the college at its Kahului campus and its education centers.

Most of the rest of the world, and some of us here in Santa Clarita, also worry about whether our water is safe to drink.
Reports released on Monday by both the Environmental Protection Agency and the United Nations make it clear that water quality may be the new limit on water, looming just over the horizon. For many communities worldwide, it is already a crisis.
While our local water agencies celebrated World Water Day by basically once again proclaiming in The Signal on Monday that we have no problem ("CLWA's water cleanup"), other places from Los Angeles to Zambia held events to make the public aware of intensifying issues surrounding water quality and its effect on supply.
In the SCV, a Monday letter to the editor signed by local water managers once again claimed that the facilities to clean up the polluted water from the Whittaker-Bermite site will be functioning "next month" to return closed wells to service.
This has certainly become a tired mantra. Didn't they say in 2004 that these wells would be pumping water again "next" year in 2005, a date that has consistently moved into the future with every failed deadline?
Didn't they just say last October in a letter to the county that these wells would be returned to service in November last year? Now it will be "next" month in April, some five years after they began making such statements.
Wouldn't it be more honest to leave this water off availability reports until it is really available?
Now it appears from the EPA's news release, issued the same day, that the agency will be setting new limits for known cancer-causing chemicals such as trichloroethelyne. This pollutant is present in water samples from local monitoring wells, along with NDMA and other volatile organic compounds known to be cancer causing.
Will the new cleanup facilities remove these chemicals as well as the ammonium perchlorate for which they were designed?
A U.N. report, released Monday to coincide with World Water Day, said an estimated 2 billion tons of wastewater, including fertilizer run-off, sewage and industrial waste, is being discharged daily.
This wastewater is responsible for the spread of disease and damage to the environment.
"Dead zones" (areas too low in oxygen content for sea life to survive) caused by industrial-waste pollution are still spreading worldwide. Our own Santa Clara River suffers from many kinds of waste pollution, from high salt discharges that harm downstream farming to agricultural runoff that may kill or deform local wildlife.
The U.N. report went on to state that more than half of the world's hospital beds are filled by people suffering from water-related illnesses, and more people die from polluted water every year than from all forms of violence, including war.
Can we avoid the problem by drinking bottled water? The expensive designer water that is consumed in the U.S. is not an option for most of the world. It should not be an option for us, either.
The U.N. report emphasizes that it takes 3 liters of water to produce one liter of bottled water, and that bottled water in the U.S. requires the consumption of some 17 million barrels of oil yearly. That's not to mention the trash problem that mountains of discarded bottles are creating everywhere.
Also, bottled water is not subjected to the rigorous testing required of public water systems. Labels do not even require disclosure of where the water was actually pumped. Some bottlers just filter tap water.
How can we best protect our own water sources? By thinking globally and acting locally. We see the problems created worldwide by mistreating river systems and not enforcing environmental laws meant to protect health.
In Santa Clarita, much of our drinking water comes from the Santa Clara River. So here, acquisition of the river floodplain and protection of river vegetation so that urban runoff is naturally filtered before it enters the river is one way to protect our water supply.
Participation in public meetings to urge our officials to protect the river and our water supply is another action we can each take.
Let's continue to celebrate World Water Day by being aware of this precious resource and how much we depend on it.
Lynne Plambeck is president of the Santa Clarita Organization for Planning and the Environment (SCOPE) and a Santa Clarita resident. Her column reflects her own views and not necessarily those of The Signal. "Environmentally Speaking" appears Thursdays in The Signal and rotates among local environmentalists.

The Alternative$8.90 | Digital buy MP3 album
Also available · CD $12.98
Like an 80s electro glam soundtrack to a Jan Svankmajer film or an almost unfathomable
hybrid between the sexy swagger of Prince and the cool and collected respectability of
Roxy Music, IAMX mixes the erotically-charged vocals of Chris Corner (of triphop godfathers
Sneaker Pimps) with music that is, at once, frantic yet controlled. With such strikingly cinematic
songs as the waltzy drama of "President" to the percussive sexual predatory dirtiness of
"The Negative Sex" to the indelibly infectious synthpop of the sweeping "Spit It Out",
The Alternative is just that - the alternative to the cookie-cutter music scene that dominates
the airwaves. A visual and aural intersection, IAMX's live performances have sold out venues
across Europe, the UK and the US, even landing on US music industry trade magazine Hits' best SxSW showcases in 2007!
Voted Number ONE Album of 2007 by XM Radio, The Alternative is the sound of an independent revolution offering the perfect "alternative" to the insipid radio drone of the mainstream.
"Heavier, dirtier and more sinister than the Sneaker Pimps' listener-friendly sounds, The Alternative is almost industrial without the excessive noise. Taking the buzzes from that genre and mixing them with electro elements, orchestral washes and Corner's dangerous delivery makes for a tempting mix." - Remix Magazine
"A blitzkrieg of psycho-trash glamour, Berlin's IAMX are, with their outlandish fashion sense, a sort of Scissor Sisters of underground electro. With all the swagger of T. Rex, the drama of Marc Almond and the forbidding atmosphere of a bombed out city, this is sex music for a decidedly dystopian future." - CLEAR Magazine
"Just in case you're wondering what the hell IAMX sounds like... it's pulverizing hypnotic beats that would turn an altar boy into a porn star in seconds." - Harder Beat Magazine
"IAMX is living in Berlin these days, and you can hear that city bleeding through any number of the more dramatic moments on The Alternative... chillingly Bowie-esque." - Alternative Press
"Just listening to The Alternative, you can't help but think of highbrow art; think Marlene Dietrich on Ecstacy out for a night of cabaret." - Venice
"[The Alternative] is a wonderfully atmospheric album, dark without being abrasive, and the whole thing builds and ebbs like a good DJ set. This is a catchy, addictive slice of electropop." - Blogcritics
"Stadium sized rock and seedy Berlin underground at the same time..." - Londonist, UK
"Like a sleek, modernist upgrade of Nine Inch Nails' Pretty Hate Machine." - Guardian, UK
"The Alternative' offers up the definitive alternative to 2007's dirge of indie bands with their jingling air of smugness." Room Thirteen, UK
"Lest ye think it's all Caligula-with-a-synthesizer and the record is gonna leave fluids and used needles on your record player, don't worry, sweetness - the ratio of Saturday night to Sunday morning is way more even than you'd expect."- Movement Magazine

"She'll be in there for at least 72 hours getting evaluated. She might even stay longer," says the source. "She's more comfortable this time, she came into the waiting area, had a cigarette, made a joke about being there again. But who knows what will happen. All we can hope for is that she gets better."
Even the logistics in getting her help and getting her to the hospital were planned better – and far in advance, according to the source.
"Something like this has been in the works since the [last trip to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center]. She has been seeing her psychiatrist every day," the source says. "No one thought this would happen this soon, but it was clear if she stayed up for more than three days she'd have to get sent, since that could cause real damage. The last time she slept was Saturday."
Adds the source: "The motorcade and everything was planned, it was already in the works to have them block off the road and airspace. It worked out perfectly."
