On Tap Today: Super Bowl bites
It's time to come to the "acceptance" phase of the greiving process - the Packers will not be in the Super Bowl this year. So try to look on the bright side - you won't have to stress out so much during the game, allowing you to better concentrate on what's truly the most important aspect of any Super Bowl Sunday, the food.
And in that department, the Bay View Community Center (1320 E. Oklahoma Ave.) has you covered. From 6:30 to 9 p.m. tonight it's hosting a Super Bowl party cooking class. For $16 you can learn how to make five different varieties of wings--classic buffalo, Carribbean jerk, honey-habernero pepper, spicy Korean and parmesean garlic--as well as homemade cracked pepper potato chips with onion dip, and the unofficial state snack, beer and cheese fondue with soft pretzels. And you'll be to taste these snacks of the class of course, and there'll be soda, beer and coffee to help you wash it down. And raffle prizes. »Read Full Blog Post
'Argo' tops 'Lincoln' at Oscars
In a best picture category rich in films about history, history repeated itself Sunday when Ben Affleck's suspenseful Iranian hostage drama "Argo" beat Steven Spielberg's reverential "Lincoln."
"Argo" actor-director Affleck starred in "Shakespeare in Love," which beat Spielberg's "Saving Private Ryan" for best picture in 1999. »Read Full Article(11)

'Argo' to squeak by 'Lincoln,' Tap Oscar voters say
It'll be "Argo," but not by much - if Tap Milwaukee readers' votes are any indication.
As of 7:15 p.m. - just 15 minutes before the ceremony was to start - 32% of Tap readers picked "Argo" for best picture, vs. 29% for "Lincoln," with "Silver Linings Playbook" a distant third at 19%. »Read Full Article
John Axford picks 'Argo' for best picture
Milwaukee Brewers pitcher John Axford annually lists his Oscar predictions on Twitter, from spring training. Here are his picks.
The Academy Awards are soon upon us and I'm going to give my best predictions. Trying to beat last years 11/15. There are a few pure guesses and even some that I'm predicting even though they weren't my favorite, but it's about who I think will win! »Read Full Blog Post
Poet Susan Firer uses love of language
Susan Firer isn't the first artist to make something out of Lake Michigan. Mary Nohl salvaged rocks and things from the water to shape into yard sculptures. Firer, from Whitefish Bay, writes poetry in the shape of the lake itself, and about other cool things that inspire her.
Firer, 64, has published five full-length books, including "Milwaukee Does Strange Things to People," earned two national prizes, works as an adjunct professor of English at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and formerly served as the city's poet laureate - a program of the Milwaukee Public Library. She also curates the poetry column at Shepherd Express. »Read Full Article(11)
The high cost of putting on the Oscars ceremony
When the Oscars are handed out tonight, they will - presumably - be for artistic and creative merit. And the films that are honored are the result of considerable blood, sweat and tears.
But the ceremonies themselves are a costly, you-have-to spend-money-to-make-money proposition, as an article in the Hollywood Reporter points out. »Read Full Blog Post
First Stage's 'Pinkalicious' is a tasty treat
In a world where enough is never enough - and where, with cupcakes as with potato chips, we can't seem to stop at one - a character like Pinkalicious Pinkerton is sure to be popular. The beloved children's book heroine is now starring in her very own musical at First Stage Children's Theater, under John Maclay's direction.
At first, pink-hued blush, there's nothing particularly complicated about this sugary confection, in which a cupcake-loving girl must learn the value of moderation - and the importance of eating greens. »Read Full Article(1)
My brush with Team Spielberg
I am at the bottom of the Hollywood food chain, to say the least. Whenever I deal with film industry types I feel like a strung out Dennis Hopper rambling about Marlon Brando's tribal leader in "Apocalypse, Now": "I'm a little man, I'm a little man. He's a great man!"
But when and if Steven Spielberg thanks all "the little people" in an Oscar acceptance speech tonight, I know he will be talking to me. Every year he is nominated and every year, right around the holidays, I get a note from him thanking me for my support. »Read Full Blog Post
Ad congratulates local Oscar nominee

A Lebeau man died Thursday after being struck by a Union Pacific freight train while he was on the tracks, according the Daily World in Opelousas.
Michael Tanner, 49, was killed just before noon near the intersection of La. 10 and La. 71 just outside of Lebeau.
"He must have gotten his foot caught in the tracks. But I wasn't here. Only the Lord knows," Barbara Hatcher, Tanner's sister told Daily World. "He knows these tracks. This was his route to the store."
The train, heading southeast from the Morrow area, came behind Tanner, who was also walking in the same direction, Major Richard Williams with the St. Landry Parish Sheriff's Office said.
"He was walking on the track and apparently didn't realize the train was coming," Williams said. "He just didn't see it."
The train struck Tanner in the back with its cowcatcher and knocked his body into the air. It came to rest about 30 feet further down the tracks.

We believe that queer studies should be practiced with both an emphasis on local articulations of queer identities and queer politics, and a serious engagement with processes of globalization. It is our hope that this electronic journal will secure a stronger place for Eastern/Central European queer studies on the map and foster the growth of queer communities.
Among the issues we hope our contributors will address is the translatability of queer concepts across cultural and linguistic borders; the relationship between queer theory and activism; the possibility of reconciling the different positionings within the queer community that are related to such factors as gender, race, class, age, sexual practices, and geographical location; the relevance of queer studies for understanding the discourses, cultural practices, and institutions that surround us; and the potential of queer as a counterdiscourse or counterpractice. The next deadline for paper submissions is October 30, 2006.

Inner-swivel lens upgraded for Coolpix 3500
The latest addition to the qualtiy mid-range Coolpix range follows the 2500 released earlier this year and adds more pixel punch - 3.2 effective megapixels - along with an improved version of Nikon's inner-swivel lens. Unique to Nikon, the inner-swivel design enables image capture at acute angles while protecting the lens when not in use. The charcoal gray colour scheme is also new and the features are exceptional for an "put of the box" digital camera - macro-photgraphy as close as 4cm from the subject, the versatility of twleve pre-set shot modes (including back light, fireworks show and beach/snow, 35 seconds of video capture and a clever Quick Review function that enables viewing of the previous shot on one-quarter of the LCD screen while simultaneously keeping the live action in frame.
Australian distributor Maxwell Optical Industries expects the Coolpix 3500 to be available from early December for AUS$949.

Incomplete Application Can Bog Down Transfer
Published: 02/19/2004
Permit holders must file an application for transfer of ownership or ownership and location with the Division of Liquor Control when they sell the permit business to another. The application must be approved by the division before the liquor permit's ownership or ownership and location is transferred. That process often takes longer than permit holders anticipate.

text: it CAN play multiplay online, it just hasn't released any games that do so just yet. so yes, multiplayer is coming. no it can't play DVDs, they left that out because 1) it keeps the cost of the Wii down and 2) they figured (correctly) that most people already have multiple DVD players and including one in the system wasn't a neccesity. I'm not sure about CD playing as I've yet to try, but from what I'm hearing it cannot. And have no clue about mp3. I know you can stream music from the web through the Wii opera browser though.

As it snows outside this after noon, I can't help but feel inspired to jot down a little memo to the wine drinkers out there who not only enjoy travelling to various wine-regions (which all of us should be doing anyway), but also may find themselves drawn to certain wineries.
What I'm about to get into really applies to smaller wineries – you know, the "ma and pa"-type wineries who are really doing it for the love – but also can apply, in principle, to any winery.
Having worked a bit in the industry for a wine distributor, I can tell you that there's a hellacious mark-up on every bottle of wine you buy at the store – most of which go directly into the coffers of the distributor and the retailer.
I'm not here to trash distributors as in many instances they can become a necessary evil for every winery; however, I do think the general public needs to understand why it's very important (when at all possible) to work out some sort of arrangement with their favorite wineries.
Additionally, there are many fine retailers who work their tails off – trying to help ensure you have a pleasant wine experience.
As a very generalistic example, a $20 bottle of wine at retail has a wholesale cost to the distributor for $8-$1o (may even be a bit less) from the winery. This means that, in many cases, that the retailer and the distributor are getting as much, if not more, than the winery – so if the winery is selling it for $8-10, it doesn't have much in the way of profits. Think about the cost of the grapes, the cost of shipping the grapes (in many cases), the cost of the barrels etc.
The reality is, if a winery doesn't have a very good direct sales model, chances are they won't be able to stick around very long – especially the ones which aren't backed by deep pockets.
I say all of this to say that if you care about a particular winery and regularly drink its wine, then you really should try and purchase directly from them as that way they're getting all of the profits. If it's important to you to help keep them in business than buying direct is always the best way to keep out "the man" from taking quite a large chunk out of a bottle of wine.

While athletes from around the world were putting their skills to the test in London this summer, the research teams assembled by NBC made an Olympian effort of their own.
Leading up to the Games, NBC's research teams created a survey that would poll over 50,000 participants on their experiences with NBC's coverage on television, on the Web, on mobile devices and in social media.
The Games are obviously over and the preliminary numbers (the full results won't be revealed until next week) are fascinating. According to a report in The New York Times, the numbers show:
- 217 million people in the U.S. watched the Games, the most for any event in history.
- 8 million people downloaded NBC's mobile apps.
- People who followed the Olympics on four devices—TV, tablet, smartphone and computer—followed an average of 5.5 hours per day as opposed to those who just watched on TV, who averaged 3 hours and 12 minutes.
In social media, mobile and online:
- There were 83 million Olympic-related comments on social media sites (4.9 million a day).
- There were 2 billion page views across all of NBC's Web sites and apps.
Armed with this knowledge, and a whole lot more data collected, NBC shifted some policies on the fly and will shift other tactics in the future. Among other things, NBC learned the power of streaming content, which has convinced them to stream more NFL games to subscribers. They also learned a lesson as the Games went on: After failing to live stream the opening ceremony, they learned going forward that live streaming wasn't hurting viewership at night. So they made sure to live stream the closing ceremonies.
The lesson for anyone trying to deliver brand messaging is clear. Long before you start to embark on any campaign, know what you want to measure, put the tools in place to measure and then use the data you've collected to make real-time adjustments to the current campaign, while using the lessons learned for all future campaigns.
Numbers don't lie, but they don't say anything unless you listen to them carefully.
PR News will be addressing issues and tactics relating to social media measurement on October 2 in New York City at our Social Media Measurement Conference.

How Will We Work Together? Synthesizing a Cross-Cultural Collaboration Grid from the Dual Concern Model and Acculturation Framework

University of San Francisco
June 15, 2012
Intl. Association for Conflict Management, IACM 25th Annual Conference
Cross-cultural collaboration through multicultural groups and teams is the current reality of international business. However, management research does not specifically address the process by which individuals from different national cultures come together to collaborate in an organizational work setting. This work takes a step towards understanding this process. We first discuss the dual concerns model and the acculturation framework to identify areas of congruence that have explanatory value for cross-cultural collaboration. From this point, we derive a cross-cultural collaboration grid that can help understand how people from different national cultures might work together based on the relative prioritization of concern for self vs. concern for the other. After introducing the cross-cultural collaboration grid, we discuss potential moderating variables at both the individual (contact, superordinate goals, and power) and cultural levels (individualism-collectivism, tightness-looseness, and power distance) that will impact the cross-cultural collaboration process. We conclude with contributions and limitations that can be addressed by future research.

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over daily movements, we do like to keep an eye on market changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
The deadline for the government shutdown is now just days away. That may be causing some investors to panic and sell shares, as they believe the whole world will come to an end if Congress can't get its act together by Oct. 1. But that won't happen. First, let's assume that the federal government will shut down (which it won't). Does that mean the average business will also close its doors? Will Wal-Mart stop selling groceries? Will Bank of America stop cashing checks? Will Exxon stations no longer have gasoline in their tanks? No, no, and no.
None of those things will happen if -- and that's a big "if" -- the federal government shuts down. Businesses all over the U.S. and the world will continue selling products and services, while customers all over the world will still buy products and services. So, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI ) down by 0.48% as of 12:45 p.m. EDT today and the S&P 500 and NASDAQ down 0.41% and 0.1%, respectively, it's clear investors are acting irrationally, so use this as a good buying opportunity.
Which Dow components could you pick up on the cheap?
Shares of both Verizon and IBM are down by 1.7%, while Coke and Procter & Gamble have lost about 1.2% apiece, and these losses are mostly unfounded. However, that's not to say that all of the Dow's losers today are deals. Let's look at a few that have reason to move south.
While most businesses around the world wouldn't so much as flinch from a shutdown, there are one or two Dow components that investors should watch out for in the case of a government shutdown. Both Boeing (NYSE: BA ) and United Technologies (NYSE: UTX ) do a good deal of business with the government and would likely see big cuts from that customer if the unlikely shutdown occurred. Shares of Boeing are down 0.9% at the time of writing, while United Tech is lower by 0.5%. But investors need to remember that nearly all the business these two companies do with the government is defense-related, so while funding would take a hit, it wouldn't completely fall off the map. We saw this with the sequester cuts -- United Tech and Boeing saw slight reductions to their contracts -- but contracts have still been rolling in. National defense doesn't simply vanish, so the equipment needed to effectively defend this U.S. will remain in demand. Again, these companies could present buying opportunities if the prices fall far enough.
Shares of Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS ) are down 1.3% after an analyst at Guggenheim downgraded the stock from buy to neutral. Additionally, the firm cut its price target to $183. The main reason given for the rating change was that the firm feels a decline in interest rates could hurt the capital market's income. Goldman also had its third-quarter EPS estimates cut by Brad Hintz of Sanford C. Bernstein due to fears of declining trading revenue. Hintz also cut Morgan Stanley's EPS estimate for the same reason.
Thinking of Buying a Bank?
Have you missed out on the massive gains in bank stocks over the past few years? There's good news: It's not too late. Bargains of a lifetime are still available, but you need to know where to look. The Motley Fool's new report "Finding the Next Bank Stock Home Run" will show you how and where to find these deals. It's completely free -- click here to get started.

WEST Cork is set to benefit from €15.5 million of new investment I the seafood sector announced by the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Simon Coveney.
The investment by the Irish seafood processing companies is supported by grants of €3.2 million under the EU co-funded Seafood Processing Business Investment Scheme.
These investments by 21 companies across the country are expected to create more than 140 new jobs and increase sales of value added seafood products by nearly €44 million by 2015.
Among the companies investing are Shellfish De La Mer, Castletownbere, (€488,980) and the Castletownbere Fishermen's Co-op (€1,400,000).
Minister Coveney said, "This is a very sizeable investment by any standards and particularly so when combined with investment under this scheme over the past two years.
"It demonstrates the confidence in the seafood sector as a high growth area of our economy and of our food industry.
"The SMEs undertaking this very welcome new investment represent the future of the seafood industry.
"The new investment involves companies significantly growing their businesses and also diversifying, which will lead to increased profitability and increased employment.
"The investment also builds on the very positive announcements made earlier this week in the beef sector and the further development of trade links with China.
"The number of companies participating in the Scheme demonstrates the willingness of the sector to invest to meet the strong global demand for our seafood".
Castletownbere-based TD Noel Harrington welcomed the news saying,
"The scale of the investment being made by 21 seafood processing companies across Ireland is significant as it will see 142 new jobs being created nationally within the industry with increased sales of €44 million expected by 2015.
" It comes on the back of investments of a total of nearly €10 million in 2010 and 2011 and is a clear recognition of the role and contribution the seafood processing industry has to play in our economic recovery.
"In Castletownbere, a total investment of €1,888,980 is being made by local firms, Castletownbere Fishermen's Co-Op Ltd and Shellfish de la Mer Ltd.
"This investment is underpinned by €472,745 of support grants that will allow firms to develop and expand their business to meet the demands of this ever growing sector.
"The Irish seafood industry has grown from strength to strength in recent years and this investment will ensure that that trend continues into the future.
"Confidence in the seafood industry in County Cork is high. A combined investment of €2.585,543 will help to grow jobs in Castletownbere, Ballycotton, Cork and Carrigaline by allowing these five companies to diversify and expand and ultimately increase profitability."

The anti-values poll is over, and the clear winner, no surprise: Arrogant and willful ignorance. Just like in Alabama elections, many fewer people voted in the runoff than in the original -- about two-thirds fewer. Unlike some election runoffs, though, the result was the same. Readers from as far away as Washington state and Washington, D.C., voted. We did not require voters to show their IDs at the poll.
Even though the result is clear, and it will be honored, I'm still not convinced that arrogant and willful ignorance is a "value." Sounds more like a "condition," to me.
But what do you think?

Hi Faeandar
I have setup LDAP as a naming service though not in a large performance
demanding environment, however, regarding the cache, if I remember
correctly there is a cache built into the solaris LDAP name service
client which is LDAP specific and I seem to recall that it was somewhat
tunable. Possibly even tunable via the client profile which resides in
the directory.
BTW - Mind if I ask what kind of netapp filers you use and what you do
with then? Files only or target/luns or both?

Multi-Purpose Foam
Foam is described by density; this is how we simplify the classification of foam quality. The heavier the density of foam, the better quality it is. There are however other ways that softness and elasticity are measured.
Following the manufacturing process, foam is tested for density, resilience and hardness.
- Density is a measure of the weight of foam per cubic metre
- Resilience measures the elasticity and bounce back qualities, providing how long lasting the foam will be.
- Hardness is measured by pressure applied to the foam to 40% of its thickness.
Based on these measurements, differing foams apply for various applications. What your Clark Rubber expert will ask you are these two key questions;
- What is the foam to be used for?
- What is the frequency of use?

When someone is or acts like a platypus.
Man, your acting like a nark right now.

When a person finds out they hurt their toe on a hard object.
Johnny kicked a stair when he looked at his foot he realized he hurt his foot he at that point had a nark.

This screenshot of AVMA Animal Hospital shows where future veterinarians start when they come to play.
Rather than focusing on marauding zombies, the American Veterinary Medical Association is targeting future veterinarians through its brand-new video game, AVMA Animal Hospital.
The new game, a combination of "Beat the Clock" and Operation, takes place in a virtual veterinarian clinic.
Kids as well as grown-ups can test their veterinary mettle by diagnosing and treating animals, including dogs, cats, birds, turtles and guinea pigs, suffering from a variety of conditions before time elapses.
The audience the AVMA had in mind for the game is fourth through eighth graders but anyone who enjoys animals is encouraged to play.
"We wanted to make a fun game that players would come back to again and again, but more importantly, we wanted there to be a strong educational component to it as well," said Ron DeHaven, DVM, CEO of the Schaumburg, Illinois-based AVMA.
The game is available free through Apple's AppStore, Google Play and at the AVMA website here.
"Games are a great way to learn, and we hope AVMA Animal Hospital helps educate and inspire the next generation of veterinarians," Dr. DeHaven added.
The game was developed by Game Gurus, a Seattle-based educational video game developer, with input from veterinarians used to create realistic animal diagnoses and treatments for the game.
The AVMA helped fund the development of the game and to make it free to the public.

Richard Abril would be a difficult fight because of his style but Molina has that itch to become a world champion. I would rather see him fight Ricky Burns, that would be a far more exciting fight. After his loss to Demarco, Molina with a new trainer and more focused sure gets his Championship Belt this year !!

Fun Activities That Do Something Great
It's the time of year when we are all about giving thanks. Maybe you are thankful for finally figuring out how to master your mom's pumpkin piecrust, while your mom is thankful for her grandkids. And those grandkids? They are thankful for the Wii Grandma gave them (and for that yummy pumpkin pie).
When we are in this mode of being aware of the blessings we've been given, it's a good opportunity to figure out how to give back to others. As parents, we can easily make a donation of money or our talents, but kids don't necessarily have the chance to do this. There are some easy ways for your kids to give back to others, which teaches great emotional skills and highlights what this time of year is all about.
-- Send a letter. Even our smallest kiddos can draw a picture to make someone smile. Many organizations that support our troops have guidelines on how to write a letter or send a big "Thank you!" to our men and women serving our country across the globe. One place to start is AMillionThanks.org.
-- Bake and make someone feel good. Sure, you may need to man the hot oven, but get your kiddo an apron and get him baking brownies, cookies, bread, whatever! There are so many comfort foods that are appreciated by so many, from your neighbor who lets the kids play in his yard to the folks at the nursing home by their school. A little plate of homemade goodies are a perfect way to say "Thank you for being you!". For the little ones to be involved, have them decorate the paper plate you will deliver them on.
-- Create a blanket of comfort. From groups that provide help to homeless families to those organizations that make a difference in the lives of children with severe illnesses, a common need is a blanket. Head to the fabric store and grab some fleece and have your kids make a blanket (or three or four). Of course, don't arm your three-year-old with a sharp needle -- there are simple, no-sew fleece blankets you can make with just your hands and fabric. Check out all of the info over at BigHeartedFamily.org.
How does your family give back and give thanks around this time of year?

We are busy!
-The kids clean out the closet in their room of gifts they got last year (so Birthday 2012, because they are Sept/Oct children we give them a chance to open & use) that haven't been used to the local Christmas Bureau
-THey take in canned good to the food drives at school
-we pack a shoe box for operation Christmas Child
-we sign up to provide items for a THanksgiving baset for a random family that was given to our Church
-we donate to the hat and mitten tree at school that also goes to the local Christmas Bureau
We donate clothing, toys and items for around the home but we do this year round, not ust for the holidays.
My son is currently raising money along with money he has saved for, Toys For Tots.
What good ideas!
We make donations to feed the poor on our holidays. Or we go on food drives with the Cub Scouts for the Food Bank. The school is collecting canned goods for the poor for Thanksgiving.
we do the angel tree at Church. Then we do the elk's baskets. We let our kids ring the doorbell to give the baskets to the families. We also do coats for kids. I let my kids pick out the coats in the store that they want to donate :)
We donate many items through out the year. They have projects at school that help give back to the community. They write letters to our Military.
We try to do it year around but this time of year we expecially concentrate on food baskets at the church, the giving tree, and charities.

How To Live a Better Life with Less by Crafting

We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.

Have you ever heard of the saying less is more? The more you have to do the more stressed you are. Learn to do less and love more. Craft and keep yourself busy. Using recyclable in your home makes things a lot easier as well. You don't have to go out and buy materials if you already have them at home.
Some people seem to think that less is not enough and everyone wants more; more money, more candy, more wealth. If you have too much money you might become greedy, if you have too much candy you might get sick and if you have too much wealth you might lose some relationships. You can lead a better life with less and by crafting.

My Family has given up a lot over the last year to make our life simpler and to concentrate on what's important. You'd be really surprised how much more you enjoy life with a lot less. We enjoy more family time, play more games together and truly learned how we have been blessed. This is what God intended not the super busy, don't have a spare minute life. I just hope others will take your advice

Paranoia, once assumed to afflict only schizophrenics, may be a lot more common than previously thought. British psychologist Daniel Freeman, states that nearly one in four Londoners regularly have paranoid thoughts. Experts say there is a wide spectrum of paranoia, from dangerous delusions that drive people to violence, to the irrational fears that millions of people have daily.Surveys in Britain and the United States, have found that rates of paranoia are slowly rising, although researchers' estimates of how many of us have paranoid thoughts varies widely, from 5 to 50 percent.A survey of more than 8,500 UK adults found that 21 percent of people thought there had been times when others were acting against them. Another survey of about 1,000 adults in New York found that nearly 11 percent thought other people were following looking or spying on them.Experts warn that paranoia can be stressful, and result in social isolation, hostility, and possibly even crime.

I've achieved a five-day fast (tea and water and yerba mate only), but I have no desire to do that again. It would not be that hard I suppose, but I am very lean now so I have no desire to drop more pounds. I do a once-weekly fast of 48-56 hours now, to help with body cleansing more than anything. I use fasting for its medically proven benefits, not really as a weightloss tool.
One interesting thing I have discovered though, is now that I've started fasting, I feel more "bogged down" if I didn't get my weekly fast in. As if I haven't given myself a chance to regenerate and refresh and detox and it's almost telling me that it's "time to fast!"
A lot of people here tout the weightloss effects of fasting, but it's about so much more as well.

WASHINGTON -- In Iraq, churches are under attack from Islamic radicals, making the nation the fourth most dangerous place in the world for Christians, according to the 2014 World Watch List.
It's one of the reasons why many Iraqis are fleeing their homeland.
Dark Clouds of War
Aseel Albanna fled to America from Iraq more than 20 years ago to escape what seemed like endless fighting. Yet her heart remains with her persecuted brothers and sisters.
Bright and positive, Aseel's personality took root from childhood even though many of the memories from her formative years were marred by the dark clouds of war.
"I just couldn't see any future for myself," Albanna told CBN News, recalling her experiences growing up during two cycles of warfare.
The eight-year Iran-Iraq War started when Aseel was only 10 years old. She was 19 when U.S. troops launched Operation Desert Storm.
Seeking Refuge
In 1991, she and her family fled their mostly Christian neighborhood just outside of Baghdad and sought refuge in neighboring Jordan.
After a month of pleading, she convinced her dad to take her to the United States, a country she'd always dreamed of visiting.
"I begged my father," Albanna recalled. "It was like a dream to me: liberty and freedom of expression. I didn't grow up with that so I really wanted it."
She and her father had round trip tickets to visit relatives in Lexington, Ky. They had every intention of returning to Jordan together but quickly discovered Aseel's aunt had other plans.
An Aunt Who Cared
"She told my father, 'I will never ever let her leave back with you!'" Albanna recounted. "My father was like, 'What are you talking about? She's my daughter!'"
Aseel was only one year away from receiving her architectural degree in Iraq under the dictatorship of Saddam Hussein.
But her aunt helped her get into the University of Kentucky's architecture program as a fifth year student. Her father returned to Jordan, leaving his daughter behind on a student visa.
She graduated from college, pursued a career in design and has flourished in the U.S. ever since -- feeling more American as time passed.
A Dual Identity
After nearly 23 years living in the U.S., she decided to become an American citizen.
She took the oath on the 222nd anniversary of the U.S. Bill of Rights at a ceremony at the National Archives in Washington, D.C. -- home to the nation's founding documents, like the U.S. Constitution and the Declaration of Independence.
"Being Iraqi is who I am, who I've been," Albanna explained. "Being American, on the other hand, is who I became -- who I grew into."
Persecution in the Homeland
Still, Aseel cares deeply for her homeland and her people, especially the Christian community that faces growing persecution.
As an Iraqi Christian, she worries about the future of her native land, home to one of the world's oldest Christian populations. She describes what's taking place as a "very sad turning point in Iraq."
"I think it doesn't look good," she explained. "It's considered a very honest and fair community, and they gave a lot to Iraq -- to the country."
After the Iraq War began in 2003, Christians became an easy target. Many have been persecuted, tortured, or killed.
In the last 10 years, the population of Iraqi Christians has dropped from more than a million to around 500,000. Similar stories of persecution are happening in Syria and Egypt.
** Read more about Christian persecution around the world **
Katrina Lantos Swett, of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, believes fellow Christians and human rights activists should pressure lawmakers to act now before Middle East Christians disappear from the map.
"There's just no doubt that ancient and historic Christian communities are threatened as never before," Latos Swett told CBN News.
"One of the most powerful things that individual communities, church communities, and people as individuals can do is to reach out to their member of Congress and say, 'You know what: this is a top priority with me and I want to know what you are doing about it,'" Lantos Swett said.
Being a Citizen
Meanwhile, Aseel hopes others can find a path to peace, freedom, and personal growth similar to the road she has traveled.
As a new American citizen, she has high hopes for the country she now calls home. She also plans to take full advantage of her new rights and freedoms, like voting.
This spring, she's planning to cast her very first ballot for a fellow Iraqi who's running for office in Washington, D.C. It's a scenario she knows full well is unique to the American experience.
"This doesn't happen in many countries, but it definitely happens in the United States," Albanna reflected. "It just gives me this hope you can do anything you want. You can be anyone you want to be. And, that's what's so beautiful about this country."

MARTINSBURG - A Hospice of the Panhandle volunteer for a little more than three years, 68-year-old John Sherwood was named the organization's volunteer of the year Thursday during the end-of-life care provider's annual volunteer recognition dinner.
A Vietnam War veteran who served in the U.S Army's Medical Service Corps from 1966 of 1970, Sherwood completed 345 volunteer service hours and drove more than 3,000 miles for Hospice of the Panhandle last year alone.
Sherwood, who resides in Charles Town, is a member of St. James Catholic Church. Sherwood, who is married and the father of two children, told those volunteers at Thursday's recognition dinner that it was an honor to receive the award, which he said he wanted to share with all of the organization's more than 200 volunteers.

John Sherwood, left, was named Hospice of the Panhandle volunteer of the year Thursday by volunteer coordinator Tricia Lawrence.
"It's super. As I said when I found out, I'm really accepting on behalf of all of the volunteers, because, as you heard through the night, there's just so many different things that volunteers do to make it a much more personal and to assist the paid staff so they can do their job in those challenging times for the patient and their families," Sherwood said.
Sherwood said volunteering for Hospice of the Panhandle is an opportunity to give back to the community and, having worked in the medical field, he said he saw the value of hospice care.
"It also ties into some of the volunteer work I do at my church. I visit the sick and homebound. and it lets me find some of these people who can benefit from our services. It's just a neat organization and something that is so great to be a part of," Sherwood said.
Tricia Lawrence, volunteer coordinator for Hospice of the Panhandle, said Sherwood, who joined the organization in 2011, is a volunteer with a desire to help people in any way possible and whose dedication is evident in all that he does. She said that she is never surprised when Sherwood accepts a last-minute assignment and making himself available to help hospice patients and their families whenever asked.
"This volunteer knows and understand what it means to serve, having served in many areas and roles both in the community and the church. This person understands service and sacrifice having served our country in the Army during a time of war. This has given a perspective that not everyone can have, the ability to relate to our patients who have served our country," Lawrence said.
Lawrence said Sherwood always actively looks for church or community members who may be benefit from Hospice's services and said that, having a background in health care administration, Sherwood has a knowledge of hospice and how it has helped to those in the community. In one case, Sherwood helped fulfill a hospice patient's last wish of having a Slurpee, which Sherwood spoon-fed to him just two hours before that patient passed away.
"This person provides communion to patients who can no longer make it to church, sat at the bedside of those who are dying and orchestrated final farewells for our veterans in our in-patient facility," Lawrence said.
Sherwood wasn't the only volunteer recognized Thursday. Lawrence said Hospice of the Panhandle has more than 215 volunteers who volunteer on a daily basis fulfilling multiple roles. Last year alone, volunteers donated more than 9,000 hours of their time for the organization. The annual recognition dinner is the one time of year that Hospice of the Panhandle is able to recognize all of its volunteers for what they do.
"The one thing that hasn't changed over the years is our dependence on volunteers. You've heard me say that a tree is only as strong as its roots and how true that is for all of us. Volunteers have always been the roots of our organization and we would be hard pressed to operate without all of you," Lawrence said.
Hospice of the Panhandle was started more than 30 years ago by a small group of people who recognized a need to improve end-of-life care for those in the community. The organization provides both outpatient and in-patient care and throughout the past 34 years has educated and cared for thousands of people. The organization just opened a new in-patient facility on March 31.
"I am so deeply grateful to each and every one of you. You have touched the people we care for in this community. You have touched our patients, their families and the people who care for them. We truly would not be here without our volunteers," said Margaret Cogswell, chief executive officer of Hospice of the Panhandle.

Woman accused in deputy's shooting death wants evidence tossed
Andria Kerchner charged with first-degree murder
One of the people accused in the shooting death of Brevard County Sheriff's Deputy Barbara Pill wants her confession thrown out.
Andria Kerchner's attorneys will be asking for a motion to suppress evidence on Friday.
Brandon Bradley and Kerchner are charged with first-degree murder in the killing of Pill on March 6, 2012.
Police say Kerchner was in a car with Bradley, fleeing police after a burglary, when Bradley shot Pill after a traffic stop.
This week, their attorneys argued they could not get a fair trial if they were tried together as originally planned, so a judge decided to try the cases separately.

I don't understand your comment. This is not about comfort and warm fuzzies. This is about what seems to me to be a valid real-world concern. Framing this as about "comfort" leaves the impression that you consider this to be not a real problem and the questioner not thoughtful enough to understand why. If the goal is to see capabilities more widely used, this kind of response seems, quite frankly, more likely to put people off than to win converts. I'd think that patient education and explanation of your preferred solution is going to be a lot more effective than telling people they don't understand capability discipline. Perhaps you could explain what is a better solution to this problem that is more in keeping with capability discipline. I like to think that anyone who is reading this list is likely to be interested enough to listen to your preferred solution, and thoughtful enough to have the capacity to understand.

The term "fetal adenoma" has long occupied a place in the literature on the thyroid gland. The first use of this term is generally credited to Wölfler,1 who in 1883 used it to designate certain nodular tumors of the thyroid gland, which he thought arose from fetal cell rests. With an advance in knowledge, however, the concept of a fetal origin for these nodules has largely been discarded, although through usage the term persists in the literature. Today it has come to designate a distinctive type of nodule, on the general features of which most observers are agreed.
While a detailed description of a typical "fetal adenoma" will be given later (fig. 1), a few of its distinctive features may be cited here. Such a nodule is discrete, circumscribed, encapsulated and of variable size, occurring alone or multiply and presenting to the unaided eye a dull gray homogeneous substance

HRSY Perspectives
- Artists Boytalk, Daniel Bortz, My Heart Your Heart, Kasper Bjorke, Dancing Pigeons, Lake People, Monkey Safari, Here Is Why
- Release Date 2012-05-04
- Labels Riotvan
- Catalog RVN003
- Description The excitement around Here Is Why just won?t stop. After the debut album, numerous concerts around Germany and hymns of praise wherever you look and listen, the four Leipzig musicians lean back for a short moment and let the others do the work. The remix album ?HRSY Perspectives? sees the gathering of the who is who both of the local as well as the a bit more remote electronic music scene, leaving their mark upon seven HRSY tracks and making them even more dancefloor-compliant. Given that widely known genre celebrities such as Kasper Bjørke (HFN/Copenhagen) and Daniel Bortz (SUOL/Augsburg) shake hands with newcomers like the Leipzig-based My Heart Your Heart or Lake People perfectly continues the HRSY inherent symbiosis of tradition and progress. And since, despite an entirely successful responsibility switch, they still have ants in their pants, the all-new Here Is Why track 'Lift Me Up' comes as the cherry on the cake. Which is where their perspective comes in again, and it certainly isn't a bad one.

The Skyfarmer continued his winning streak with an impressive victory at Cheltenham on Friday.
- Related Content
Philip Hobbs' five-year-old has had a 2013 to remember with victory in a bumper at Wincanton and hurdles events at Newton Abbot and Taunton, and he made light of a handicap mark of 123 to post victory in the CF Roberts Electrical + Mechanical Services Handicap Hurdle.
- Profiles
Glencree and Dan Breen attempted to make the running in the early stages though both cancelled each other out and the race began to take shape after they negotiated the third flight from home.
Canadian Diamond, who had pulled hard in the early stages, assumed command but his tenure always appeared likely to a short one as Zafranagar, Lyvius, Maxi Chop and The Skyfarmer waited in behind.
Richard Johnson was first to play his hand and though the 4/1 shot was to come under strong pressure from Lyvius after they braced the last, he ultimately showed far more resolution than his rival and Barry Geraghty was forced to settle for second place.
Johnson said of his mount: "He won two novice hurdles around Newton Abbot and Taunton so it's hard to know what you've got, but he's done it nicely and the handicapper will put him up plenty for that. They went a nice strong gallop early and that helped him as well."
- Photo Galleries/
- Cheltenham: The International
Winning trainer Philip Hobbs added: "He's been progressive and has always gone very much the right way. The handicapper is going to put him up plenty for that so he'll be going back to novice company and he's progressing nicely."
"There's the Tolworth but that's often run in very soft ground and I'm not sure he'd want that. The Betfair Hurdle could be an option, but you can have the same problem there."
Sky Bet introduced The Skyfarmer at 25/1 in their Sky Bet Supreme Novices' Hurdle betting and spokesman Michael Shinners said: "The front two have pulled well clear of the rest today, and though the winner still has plenty to find if he's to develop into a Sky Bet Supreme contender he's clearly highly progressive.
"He's shown he acts on the track too which is always a good thing so at this stage he's filed in the drawer marked interesting outsider."

crystal x - Most of the women had experienced either only once or a vaginal discharge continues. Vaginal discharge caused by infection by the fungus Candida. How to banish the white women were often terrorized?
As quoted from detikhealth, vaginal discharge caused by a fungus or yeast infections of the vulva or vagina. This condition causes the female to smell, yellowish white discharge, itching, burning and even to become swollen.
If the condition is so severe that people could make it difficult to walk, and pain when urinating or having sex.
Virtually every person has the Candida fungus in small amounts in the mouth, vagina, gastrointestinal tract and skin. In healthy individuals, these bacteria are friendly and a good immune system can prevent infection.
However, if their immune systems are damaged or weak it will be easier for the fungus Candida to grow and cause disease. The use of certain drugs such as antibiotics, steroids and oral contraceptives may alter the natural organisms in the vagina.
Another factor that can trigger vaginal discharge is a disease of diabetes, pregnancy, use of antihistamines, stress, using the tight pants causing humid conditions, as well as the chemicals contained in soap or detergent.
As reported by The Body, one way to prevent the discharge is to boost the immune system.
But there are many other ways in an easy and practical to prevent it ( penyebab keputihan ), namely:
1. Avoid the use of vaginal cleaning fluid. This fluid can alter the normal acidity of the vagina thus increasing the risk of infection and cause inflammation.
2. Avoid the use of clothing or tight pants because it can block the air flow, you should use cotton clothing.
3. Rinsing the vagina from front to back to avoid the entry of germs from the anus.
4. Get used to dry the outside of the vagina by using a tissue or clean washcloth after urinating or large.
5. Avoid the use scented pantyliners or continuously every day, because it can cause irritation.
6. Reduce consumption of sugar and alcohol, because it can help the development of the fungus Candida.
7. Eating garlic, because it is believed to contain natural anti-fungal.
8. Consumption of milk or yogurt because it contains acidophilus bacteria that help keep the bacteria remain in balance.
Until now no similar prescription to treat Candida yeast infection at all. One of the things being done to treat it is to create an environment that is conducive conditions for the fungus to multiply, and use anti-fungal medications are prescribed paramedics.

Best and Worst of the 2012 MTV Movie Awards
Worst: An awards show with a lack of suspense means...
The MTV Movie Awards has two big problems. The first is the fact public voting the show into a "tween" movie awards show for years. The second is the lack of suspense in announcing the winners. Anyone can tell who the winners are by just watching who walks the red carpet. The show has become such a joke to the nominees - unlike say the VMA's - that no one wants to show up unless they win. This creates a show that has to live on its musical performances (a good 15 minutes at best), taped bits (hard when they've cut the show to 2 hours) or an incredibly funny host (um, it's been a long time…). If MTV wants this show to continue to draw big ratings after "Hunger Games" is long gone, they really need to do something about this now. Or, they'll find themselves with a worthless shell of a show that nobody wants to watch.

Thing is, he would be a legitimate top 2 line winger on the Red Wings. Put him on Datsyuk or Zetterberg's left wing and that is as scary a duo as any other on the team.
Do you honestly believe Kariya is good for the Wings, or are you just some Blues fan who wants to see us sign a washed up player who's always hurt and eats up cap space, just so you can laugh about it afterwards?

I do not claim to know whether or not he was guilty, and that is not the point of this letter. My question is why it took 18 years for these people to realize that their testimony was false. Were the witnesses sworn before taking the stand? If not, why not? If so, why do I not read the word "perjury" in these articles?
The man has spent many years waiting for his execution because of their testimony. If he is innocent, what are we to do about the people who caused this? Even if he is still found guilty, what are we going to do with the admitted perjurers?

Jezebel ran a story from MSNBC this morning about fifth graders in Minnesota playing "rape tag" – a game "similar to freeze tag except that a person had to be humped to be unfrozen," says a letter from the principal of Washington Elementary School in New Ulm. While it doesn't surprise me that fifth graders know what "humping" is, or that they'd enjoy playing a game with air-boning at its heart, it does sort of shock me that these students would feel comfortable playing such a game on school grounds with teachers present. But what I find almost unbelievable is that these students would call the game "rape tag." Rape. Rape.
Anna North at Jezebel says, "Kids are known for pushing the offensiveness envelope, and I'm sure the ones at Washington thought they were being hilarious. Let's hope they've learned that rape isn't funny." Maybe I'm being naive, but I can't imagine a fifth grader, at only 10 or 11 years old, having any understanding of the term rape, let alone understanding it enough to use it in a purposeful way to be humorous or edgy. I don't think I *really* knew what rape was til I was in high school, but I guess I can remember hearing the word float around before then. I think, in the case of these Washington Elementary kids, they were using a word they knew had something to do with sex without understanding the full implications of the term.
This story does make me wonder exactly when children become indoctrinated into our rape culture, though. Despite the fact that sexual assault is taken much more seriously than in decades past, many young men still see rape as a joke. Think of all the stories we've heard recently about college boys laughing at and even encouraging the rape of their female peers.
I was watching a bit of stand-up on the subject last night, and in her 6-minute-or-so monologue, Chicago comedian Ever Mainard reminded me that women do always walk around with the fact that we are vulnerable to sexual attack at any time in the back of our minds. She says, "As a woman, we're taught, like, NEVER WALK ALONE AT NIGHT! IF YOU WALK ALONE AT NIGHT YOU'RE GONNA DIE! YOU WILL GET RAPED IF YOU'RE WALKING ALONE AT NIGHT!" It's funny cuz it's true.
Mainard makes a lot of excellent (and hilarious) points in this clip, and though I'm not much older than Mainard, her phone call to her mother at the end made me think of my own daughter. My daughter is only 6, but I could totally envision her having the same moment with me in 20 years. Which I guess tells you how probable it seems that the proliferation of rape culture will end anytime soon.
Sadly, I've already had to talk to my 6-year-old about sexual assault, because of the string of incidents of groping, attempted rape and rape that happened in our neighborhood last Spring and Summer. I don't think she really understood the nature of the crimes, and I think that's sort of a good thing. After all, isn't it an early loss of innocence that leads to fifth graders playing games like "rape tag?" In trying to explain sensitive issues like molestation and sexual assault to our kids, it seems like there's no way to win. We want to make them feel like they can protect themselves without making them paranoid, and the line between the two is so fine.

In a lot of communities in developing countries and in Accra Ghana, for that matter, solid waste management is characterized by single method approaches such as collect-and-dump. Lesser social acceptability of dump sites and inadequate operational funding often lead to collapse of these management systems. Solid waste quantities and composition in such communities present an opportunity to plan and operate management strategies that address social, economic and environmental impacts of the waste. Integrating strategies as collection and sorting for recycling, stakeholder (private investors, policy makers/management and the public) involvement and bioreactor treatment will yield optimum benefits to operational funds, clean environment and to society; a win-win-win scenario that must be appealing to policy makers and investors.

226 lbs. Sigh.
I know it's the nuts. And probably the fruit. It just seems so hard to give up all that fresh, ripe summer fruit. I spent so many years as a vegan, and thus my brain feels hardwired to see fruit as food!
But, I do eat too many nuts.

I know it's the nuts. And probably the fruit. It just seems so hard to give up all that fresh, ripe summer fruit. I spent so many years as a vegan, and thus my brain feels hardwired to see fruit as food!
But, I do eat too many nuts.
Perhaps instead of cutting out fruit for good, you could just limit your portions. Try to cut your daily intake by 50% and see what that does. Balance it out!!! If fruit gives you pleasure, you shouldn't sacrifice your quality of life. Make it work.
Today my massage therapist - a wonderful gay man with huge hands - told me "you are still losing weight!"
I said, "Not really... I'm stuck at the same weight"
"No, your face is thinner, and you are firming up. It must be muscle building. Bet your endurance is improving, isn't it?"
This exchange made me happy
Woke up to breakfast in bed... so, no weighing myself today (I only weigh myself naked, before I eat/drink anything).
I have coursework to do today. Sigh. At least it's a cool, cloudy, damp day out, so I won't really feel like I'm missing anything.
Got bikes today! yay... I used to love bike riding... now, we get to do that again.
225.0 this morning. Planning on taking a longer bike ride today.
225.2 lbs.
I'm a little sore from yesterday's ride... but not has much as I feared I'd be. Slept okay - could have used another two hours, but that is life, isn't it?
Went for a short ride. Now, have to think about dinner. Hey, I got Practical Paleo today!! woo hoo!
I'm just slightly addicted to cook books. Slightly.
Hey there!
I picked up Everyday Paleo a week or so ago but loaned it to a friend before I had a chance to check it out. I have a great cookbook but I was looking for more ideas for the kids and I love the exercise section. I am hoping to get my hands on Practical Paleo but first I will have to buy some rotten textbooks for school.
Lately I have been wanting to get a bike so I can go riding around too. I will have to make do with just walking for now and maybe see if I can find a stationary bike at school every now and then.
I'm a 39 y/o mother of 3 sons ages 12, 14, and 15

Preparations to mark the 100th anniversary of the Battle of the Falkland Islands
At the invitation of Mensun Bound, some twenty-five people, including three members of the Falklands elected Legislative Council met to consider ways in which the one hundredth anniversary of the Battle of the Falkland Islands should be marked, when it falls on December 8, 2014.
Mr Bound, who is recognised as one of the world's leading marine archaeologists, said that he believed that a serious opportunity would be lost if early steps were not taken to plan for an adequate commemoration of this important event.
Falkland Islanders of his and earlier generations had grown up with the stories of the battles of the Falklands and of Coronel, which preceded it.
One had been the biggest British naval victory since Trafalgar and the other, possibly the biggest single defeat. Both had involved the deaths of thousands of sailors and were inextricably bound up with the history of the Falklands.
There was a general consensus among those gathered that both these events should be commemorated in a special way in 2014. Mensun Bound announced that Mrs Phyllis Rendell, who was unavoidably absent from the meeting, had agreed to act as coordinator of any events and activities which might be planned.
It is expected that another meeting will be held in the near future to consider any proposals that people may have and to begin the planning of their implementation. (PN).-

Explain total quality management and how it can be used to improve quality and productivity.
Solutions for Chapter 13
Explain total quality management and how it can be used to improve quality and productivity.
Total Quality Management (TQM) is a modern management concept that lays down certain principles, tools and techniques for maintaining high quality. An important point is that TQM is not a step or a phase. It is a strategy that needs to be inculcated within the organization to increase the customer and employee satisfaction simultaneously.
A few aspects that are inseparable with TQM are:
• Continual improvement
• Increased customer satisfaction
• Increased employee engagement
• Quality reviews
• Prevention over cure
• Teamwork
• Customer and employees involvement
The OD interventions that are required for TQM are based at changing and improving the organization. This change requires change in principles, strategy, operations, leadership etc. The OD process required for TQM requires all the components of the organization to be highly involved. The change management in the context of TQM is very complex. This change has to be deeply absorbed in the organization.
The various strategies enabled by TQM are used to enhance the quality and the productivity. The higher stress is laid upon the quality requirements. However, it is also ensured that the productivity in terms of quantity is not compromised.
• Tools of TQM: The various tools and techniques enabled by TQM have proved revolutionary to increase the productivity and enhance quality simultaneously. Many such tools include Affinity Diagram, Tree Diagram, Ishikawa or Fishbone Diagram, Prioritization Matrix etc. These are used to systematically identify the process, its requirements, and shortcomings.
The pictorial, graphical and tabularization of data at various instances is enabled by TQM. This ensures a high understanding of processes and operation. This enables continual improvement easy.
• Quality control: TQM lays a high emphasis on quality control. It aims at continually improving the quality. TQM ensures a high quality by incorporating techniques like six sigma, Pareto analysis, 5-S etc.
• Economy: The TQM enabled tools and techniques have proved to be revolutionary in cutting the inventory and maintenance cost. Toyota Production System and Just-in-Time inventory techniques have revolutionized production. It has brought down the maintenance and inventory holding cost down to zero.
• Reduced Cycle Time: TQM strives on reducing the time of a process by making continuous developments and amendments. The reduced cycle time ensures increased production and more time for employees.
• Corporate citizenship: The corporate citizenship is a TQM enabled concept. It makes the organization develop itself to suit the needs of its environment and the constituents like customers, clients, employees etc.
• Prevention: TQM enabled techniques lays emphasis on "Doing right in first time". This ensures less time and resources for quality improvement and inspections.

The past few games have been a glimpse into the Achilles heel of Milan throughout the season. The lack of depth will eventually haunt us if the issue is not resolved during the January transfer window.
Adriano Galliani has repeatedly stated the past month that his squad is not on the market, and that fans shouldn't expect any new signing. Right, just like the comment he made that Kaka wasn't leaving (which was seen in the media two weeks before we saw Kaka unveiled at the Bernabeu.) At this point I am skeptical to any remark made by Galliani.
