He is a strong believer in organizational analysis (primarily the interaction between the three factors of structure, power and culture and the between rational and non-rational motivation) rather than the prevailing fashion for institutional analysis. In thirty years of research and consultancy he has applied this approach in a range of sectors - initially in mining and high technology UK industry, later in UK local government and then most substantially in local and regional government in transitional countries (the latter continuously throughout the period 1991-2011). The experience of the contradictions involved in the reform of Russian federalism led him towards a preoccupation with the concept of empire which is now the main focus of his research. The study of empire is approached in organizational terms, focusing on the interaction between vertical and horizontal structures of power.

Postgraduate supervision I welcome applications for PhD research in the areas of: public sector reform, especially in developing, tranitional and middle-income countries human resources and performance management organizational culture, structure and power in public administration centralisation, decentralisation and urban development geopolitical aspects of territorial and administrative reform the inter-relationship of empire. local government, bureaucracy and organization. I have supervised the following PhD students to successful completion: John Mwita (2004) Fikret Radjabov (2009) Alan Phelps (2010) Molefe Phirinyane (2011) Kashif Rathore (2012) I am currently the lead supervisor for the following PhD students: Alexander Kalgin Sabarinath Krishnan Paul Lewis Amrit Rai Ourathai Yosinta I am co-supervisor for the following PhD students: Fulmai Canisius Duncan Leitch Tutik Rachmawati Yogi Suwarno Research My main research interest is in the intereaction between vertical and horizontal structures of power, primarily in government and especially in territorial/local government. This interest derived originally from my doctoral research nearly thirty years ago on the relations between functional and lateral management teams in difficult environments. The main area in which this research was pursued was the relatiionship between central, regional and local governments in developing and transitional countries, in which I was engaged over a twenty-year period. Over the last four years I have been researching the ways in which vertical and horizontal dimensions both complicate and help to clarify the study of empires both historically and in the present. I am currently focusing on the relationship between modes of internal territorial organization of powerful states and their favoured mode of exernal geopolitical influence.

APT's 'Verona' a tale of growing pains
Spring Green — If one cuts through the nostalgic gauze surrounding late adolescence, most of us have scar tissue involving imperfectly healed memories of the friends we hurt and loves we lost while trying to figure out who we were and what we wanted.
While it's often staged as a light-hearted romp featuring two early Shakespearean clowns and a show-stealing dog, Shakespeare's "The Two Gentlemen of Verona" is all about these growing pains that are part of growing up. »Read Full Article

'Nashville' a prime-time effort at tuning up a city's image
Nashville — On the way to New Orleans, I fell in love with Nashville. It reminded me of Milwaukee.
Its food scene, craft breweries, laid-back sensibility and famous local export — country music — demonstrated why this city of 600,000 is more than a pit stop on the way to somewhere else. An eight-hour drive puts you in the heart of it. »Read Full Article

Painter Bob Ross' 'happy trees' can teach statistics and probability, too
FiveThirtyEight.com's Walt Hickey has done the world a mitzvah: He's counted how many 'happy trees' the late Bob Ross painted on 'The Joy of Painting' -- and used that data as a friendly lesson in statistical analysis and conditional probability.
Ross (1942-1995), you may remember, was the friendly guy with a stunning perm who taught wet-on-wet oil painting on the PBS series for more than 400 episodes. He painted happy trees, mighty mountains and happy little clouds. Comedians have chided him, and he even parodied himself in an MTV promo, but he remains a beloved pop-culture figure nearly two decades after his death. »Read Full Blog Post(1)

Hi all...yesterday I had my 20th week U/s appmt and during examination my cervix length was measured...it turned out to be < 2.5 cms which is much less than the desired length! The high risk doctor immediately asked me to come to d hospital on Monday morning for a procedure called cerclage...I am totally freaked out right now. Did any of you go thru such surgery and can u pls share ur experiences? Thanks!
Short cervix...cerclage surgery on Monday!

I had mine at 12 weeks. And six years ago had one too, carried to term. I had an epidural and procedure was about 10 min? Prepping takes the longest. I was kept over nnight only because the epidural effects weren't wearing off, but the last time I was sent home in a few hours. My Dr told me to take it easy, so far so good. First time around I had to be on bed rest. I was looking forward to getting it this time around so I can have a lil reassurance the baby will be ok. My 9 year old was born at 25 weeks due to incompetent cervix. I hope I put you at ease a lil, best of luck!
Posted 10/19/2013
I got one done at 14 weeks....the procedure lasted all of 30 minutes...I spent the longest time in the recovery room letting the epidural wear off. I had an incompetent cervix and miscarried at 20 weeks last September...so far so good. Good luck to you.

I haven't had one but it is my understanding that cerclages are very helpful and generally successful in helping women and babies reach full term. It is one is the few medical procedures I would very willingly do if needed.
Posted 10/20/2013
I has one at 13 weeks did full bed rest for 2 weeks then modified rest after that. I'm still taking it easy and because I have twins expecting more bedrest to come. I had no pain from it.

I had a rescue cerclage in my 2nd trimester last pregnancy and a preventative one this time around at 14 weeks. The procedure itself lasts about 15 minutes and is no biggie. I was so nervous bc I didn't know what to expect, and that was definitely the worst part of it.
Try not to worry! I know it's harder said than done but everyone I know who has had a cerclage (6, including myself!) has had success in carrying FT.

I've had a cerclage done for 5 pregnancies including this one and all of my babies are fine! They were all preventative and done between 13 and 16 weeks. The procedure itself is very quick. About 15-20 mins. They will either give you a spinal or general and will more than likely send you home the same day.
The stress you feel right now in the time leading up to the procedure is much worse than the procedure itself. Good luck Monday!!!
Proud wife and mommy to 5 cerclage babies. Expecting #6 in 2017!!!

There is another Hardware difference. Ipad1 has no gyroscope ipad2 And later have. All have accelerometer.
Another Point is that you always should Test on many devices as possible since different drivers have different Bugs. I saw that same Open gl Code had different results on ipad1 And ipad2.

In July 2014, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued new rules for further regulation of money market mutual funds that are to be implemented by October 2016.
- Under the new SEC rules, U.S. government and Treasury money market funds:
- Will continue to be available to both retail and institutional investors.
- Will be able to continue transacting at a stable $1.00 net asset value (NAV) for both retail and institutional investors.
All of Fidelity's U.S. government and Treasury money market funds conform to the SEC rules and are exempt from redemption restrictions.
- Once the new SEC rules are implemented, non-government money market funds (prime and municipal) may impose a redemption fee or temporarily halt redemptions if fund liquidity falls below regulatory limits.
Therefore, to assure shareholders that they will have daily access to funds used primarily for transactions, in December 2015, each of these originally prime funds transitioned its investment strategy to become a government fund. Shareholders approved these changes, and you do not need to take any action.
- Fidelity Cash Reserves (FDRXX) became Fidelity Government Cash Reserves.
- VIP Money Market became VIP Government Money Market.
- Fidelity Retirement Money Market (FRTXX – available only through certain employer retirement plans) became Fidelity Retirement Government Money Market II.
- Furthermore, under the new SEC rules, retail prime and retail municipal money market funds are:
- Able to continue transacting at a stable $1.00 NAV.
- Available to "natural persons" investors who are not corporations or other types of organizations.
- Not available to institutional investors. Institutional investors will be eligible to use government money market funds and institutional non-government money market funds, which will have a floating four-decimal NAV.

Floating point exceptions with own modified k-omega SST with Reboud's correction
Join Date: Jul 2011
Posts: 49Rep Power: 7
Hi everyone!
I have implemented the correction of turbulent viscosity by Reboud in interface regions for cavitating flows. Physically it does everything I want pretty well, but from time to time my solutions will abort due to floating point exception errors.
For me this is an indication that I didn't prevent the solver from dividing by zero somewhere. So I found a spot where this might happen during the solution, altough it shouldn't and implemented a small prevention.
But that still doesn't get the job done, because I will still get the same FPEs and have no idea where to look for. This is often accompanied by omega getting very large first. But since this doesn't happen with other turbulence models in my simulations something has to be wrong with my code.
What I have done is take the standard kOmegaSST turbulence model of OpenFOAM and modify it the way I need it.
The error says this:

I dont actually have a suggestion of how to avoid the FPE but I just want to give you a hint on how to find at which part of the code there is something going wrong:
a. Either get a debug version of OpenFOAM in which you can directly find out which line is causing the error.
b. Use Info<<"..."<<endl; to write some lines into the terminal at relevant parts of the code. From that you can see up to which point your code is still running. From that you can narrow done the line of code which produces the error..
That was helping me always a lot (since I didnt had a debug version of OF)

My husband and I have been married for 5 years. We separated briefly last October (he moved out for a week) and then things were getting back on track. I found in January I was pregnant (obviously, not planned giving our shaky situation), by February, he moved out for good.
April, I lost my job of 4 years. So here I am single, working a temp job and pregnant. Not at all what I expected! A year ago I had a good job and a mostly happy marriage.
I've told my closest friends about all these problems and my sisters. But I haven't told my mother or more casual acquaintances about the separation. I'm embarrased in a way, I don't want people feeling sorry for me, and I don't want them to think badly about my husband in case he does come around and grow up (and neither of us are young!).
I just don't know when I should give up all hope... I've heard many stories of men behaving horribly but changing once they see their child. I'm having a hard time making plans because I don't know where I will be living, who will be living with me, where I will be working, etc... But I know I need to figure it out on my own.
Ugh, so stressful. So any other married yet-separated mama's to be? I could use some advice or at least understanding!

gold is the best investment out there, except for two things: 1) the price of gold is not a reflection of market supply and demand (big problem) and 2) there are too many big holders of gold, like paulson, who own so much that they distort the price for it IMO.
it looks like we may see, or are seeing right now, some very big players thinking about leaving the show.
but i love the idea of investing in gold. too bad the markets are totally corrupt.
Why have the markets become "totally corrupt" only when gold goes down?
no sir i,,,can't u see that all markets re rigged...?
i'm not in gold. i got out months ago. the market is corrupt because prices are manipulated and the sec, cftc, etc., do nothing. try reading a bit, it'll do wonders for your brain. start by reading about the libor fixing scandal that is just ripening and the 1.5 billion dollar UBS fine. if you think that the price of gold is reflected by supply and demand, fine. i don't, not that i have any clue if it is or not. all that i do know is that there is so much corruption in the market that its rotten. we probably don't even know the half of what's going on. just take a look at some of the cases that are brought everyday by the sec just to get an idea.
How come "the markets are totally corrupt" only when gold is going down?
Just askin'
A big investor would liquidate slowly so they don't push the market against their position. Someone selling aggressively when the market is illiquid is looking to maximize the price movement down and flush traders out of their positions.

Some residents in Rochester lost power for several hours on Wednesday after a dump truck took out three utility lines.
Police said a Lightning Landscape driver left the body of the dump truck up while driving on Old Dover Road.
The truck caught three utility lines, breaking poles and ripping the lines from nearby homes.

Just arrived back today (19 January 2014) from a South Pacific Cruise departing Sydney. Firstly, the cabin upgrade from verandah to veranda suite was a lovely surprise and was really appreciated.
Then comes the rest, not necessarily so good.
Food: Main dining room choices, style and flavour were very good as was the Pinnacle Grill.Temperature checks need to be done in the Main dining room, as often food temperatures were barely safe serving temperature.The Lido was passable with reasonable but limited choices.
Service standards and staffing levels: Open seating in the main dining room was a debacle from day 1 with a wait time of 45 minutes but ok, it was the first night. After attempting to book for for following nights, I was told that the only available times were 5.15pm or 5.30pm. Every night was line up and then wait for 30 to 45 minutes to be seated. Once seated, the service was good but it is obvious that staff numbers have been cut dramatically, particularly in Wine and Food Service and it is very noticeable. The wine waiters can only serve wine by the bottle. The food servers now take orders for all drinks including glasses of wine, this poses difficulties and takes more time. Our last cruise with HAL was Sept 2012 in Europe and the reduction of staff numbers is very obvious and having a serious impact of quality and service standards. No more coffee/tea trolley in the Lido, over the 14 days, we were lucky to see 2 trolleys go by. Ran out of clothe serviettes and cutlery on the last lunch day in the Lido. Cabin stewards are amazing, the work they do and the time they get to do it in is amazing, 10 minutes per room and no overtime. Those guys are worth every tip they get and then some.
Furnishing and fit out: VERY Tired,with the Oosterdam in real need of upgrade from soft furnishings right through to general furnishing. Lots of holes and stuffing showing through in cushions and lounges both in cabins and public areas, wooden tables, chairs and railings needing major sanding and revarnishing, worn carpets in all public areas including stairways and corridors.
We have a European cruise booked with HAL in September 2014 and I hope this shows some major improvements, otherwise this Mariner will be travelling with another line.

XL Xtra 5
Featuring Samantha Kay
Duration 20:33
XL Girls: Do your tits play a big part in your sex life? Samantha Kay: If I'm in bed with you, I want you to suck on my tits to make me cum. This may sound a little boring, but I love to do it in the missionary position so the guy can suck on my tits while he fucks me. I press my nipples close together and have the guy suck both of them while he pounds away at me really hard. XL Girls: You don't cum if a guy goes down on you? Samantha Kay: No. I've never liked that, and I've had a bizillion people do it. Going down on me doesn't really work, but a lot of other things do. The best way for me to cum is from my husband sticking at least four fingers inside of me. I could always handle bigger things, like big cocks, and one day, my husband was working away at me with his fingers. You know, first one finger, then two, then three. The more he did it, the wetter I got, and the more my pussy opened right up for him.

Argenis Mendez vs. Art Hovhannisyan Discussed For 10/27
By Jake Donovan
Boxingscene.com has been informed that Argenis Mendez has agreed to terms to face unbeaten Art Hovhannisyan on October 27.
The bout - once (if) finalized - will take place at the Turning Stone Casino in Verona, New York. HBO will televise, which serves as a supporting bout to a Boxing After Dark main event between unbeaten welterweight Thomas Dulorme and Luis Carlos Abregu.
Mendez (20-2, 10KO) is coming off of a convincing decision win over Martin Honorio in their Telefutura-televised rematch this past July. The bout guaranteed the Dominican boxer another future rematch in the form of a title shot against Juan Carlos Salgado.
A fight with the aggressive Hovhannisyan is not the type of risk most fighters are willing to take while awaiting another crack at a major title, but the opportunity was too good to turn down.
"The plan is still to get 'Genis' in position for a world title, but the exposure that comes with this fight can only be good for his career," explains Jose Nunez, Mendez' manager. "My guy gets to stay busy and gets his name out there, while awaiting big plans in the future."
Hovhannisyan (15-0-2, 8KO) survived a major scare this summer, surviving a mid-fight knockdown to take a split decision over former lightweight titlist Miguel Acosta on ShoBox. The bout aired one night before Mendez' win over Honorio, though plans for this fight weren't even on the radar at the time.
The junior lightweight belt - which is still being discussed - will be scheduled for 10 rounds, with no title at stake.

I know that yesterday, everything online was all sunshine and lovey dovey, smoochie smooch, but I'm gonna keep it real with you: I wore pajamas all day long and Huzz and I had a fight.
I think it is ironic that on a day when I was supposed to celebrate love while eating my weight in chocolate, I ended up with angry texting, no appetite for dinner, and some silent treatment-ing. This was not how I pictured spending the day.
"Worst Valentine's Day Ever" by Mark Tasman | CC 2.0
So yeah. Yesterday blew hard.
It didn't start off terrible, though. The kidlets and I woke up and cuddled. I cut out fun shapes in their sandwiches for lunch. Huzzah and I wished each other a Happy Valentine's Day, sweetly and lovingly. I made yummy, Valentine-y dessert bars. But as the day wore on, the chores and tasks piled up, and I got agitated because of it. And my agitation spread like the chicken pox in first grade. And we fought like married people do. And it happened to be Love Day. And I'm exhausted from it.
Oh, wait, were you wondering how things are today? Well, let's see: we have an appointment with our tax man this afternoon.
Where's the weekend already?

HARRISBURG - It's an obligatory stop for the schoolchildren who stream through the Capitol every year: the noisy Rube Goldberg contraption designed to show how a bill becomes law.
Balls representing pieces of legislation bounce and roll through metal chutes, clanking and whirring as they go, in an exhibit designed to illustrate what an accompanying placard calls the "extremely careful and deliberative" process of lawmaking.
That's not what happened in the Capitol over the weekend.
The run-up to the annual June 30 budget deadline (and legislative summer recess) was more like a bill-passing frenzy. Big-ticket items with far-reaching consequences for Pennsylvania citizens zipped through the House and Senate straight to Gov. Corbett's desk.

Women's Track and Field Closes Regular Indoor Season At Navy
Feb. 11, 2014
ANNAPOLIS, Md. - The Loyola University Maryland women's track and field team closed out its indoor regular-season at the Navy Sweetheart Multi-Madness meet on Tuesday night. Kiera Harrison guided the Greyhounds to a fourth-place finish, winning the one-mile event by nearly 11 seconds.
Navy won four of the meet's 12 events and took the team victory with 199 points, while the University of Maryland followed in second with 135 team points. Johns Hopkins took third (73), followed by the Greyhounds (52), Lehigh (30) and McDaniel (14).
Harrison was two seconds shy of hitting the ECAC qualifying mark, winning the mile in 5:01.91. The veteran distance runner contributed the most individual points to the team total, 10.
Underclassmen Jeanine Gill and Crystal Godette led the Greyhounds in the sprints. Gill took third in the 60m with a time of 8.08, while Godette was close behind in 8.13. Hurdlers Jacqueline Porter (9.86) and Eilis McGovern (10.36) ran the 60m hurdles, taking sixth and seventh, respectively.
Charlotte Criqui contributed three points to the team total, taking sixth in the 400m race. The junior crossed the finish line in 1:01.95, just before Porter who took eighth in 1:02.14.
Loyola's A and B sprint medley squads took third and fourth, respectively, beating out all other Patriot League competitors. Godette, Gill, Claire Scavone and Criqui finished behind Maryland with a time of 4:20.44. The B quartet of Eileen Pastyrnak, Isabela Ugarte, Jessa Laspesa and Lisa Potter took fourth trailing the A team by only one second, 4:21.51. The two squads contributed 11 of the team's 52 points.
Off the track, junior Maria Hacker contributed the largest point total for the Greyhounds, finishing fourth in the pole vault at 2.55m. Ugarte, Courtney Willeford and Kelly Hilbert dominated the long jump, taking fifth, sixth and seventh place, respectively. Sophomore Uchechukwu Emili rounded out the evening's scorers with a seventh place finish in the weight throw. Emili recorded a distance of 13.16m.
Loyola travels to Lewisburg, Pa., on Saturday, Feb. 21, for the team's first-ever Patriot League Indoor Track and Field Championships from Bucknell University.
