During the last years the german chef Steffen Henssler had become more than just a well known chef, he had become a celebrity. It was clear that he had actually become a person brand - with the same attention needed as any other brand. The challenge here was to re-build a digital presence and steer its creative output so that it was in harmony with his own personality. Not an easy task, as it is always in the case of a person brand.
We needed to create a centralised hub for all of Steffen's activities: his receipts, books, tours, tv-shows his shop and restaurants. It was clear that there was a lot of content. The most important thing was to create a calm design that would allow the content to stand out and have its prominent stage. The design was made simple, clear yet easy to navigate so that the magic, which Steffen makes, would be easily digestible by all visitors. After all he is in the business of creating taste experiences.
Hansaplast is the global market leader in plasters and woundcare. The main challenge was to create a platform that would raise awareness within the low-interest category of healthcare.
We created a platform that caters to consumers needs with enriched product information and topic based content as well as useful tips from Hansaplast's medical experts. Blurring the borders between editorial content and profound background information, which pay into the brand goals. This resulted in a significant increase of global traffic in the first year, that hasn't reached it's climax yet.
How we got there:
1. A deep web audit including user behaviour and segmentation of the target group in co-operation with Forrester Research
2. Development of a digital strategy tailor-made for a complex target groups and their needs
3. Creating a platform and embedding the medical expertise in an easy to digest editorial look and feel
4. Handling the international rollout for 20 countries in cooperation with CTRL QS was plausible because of the harmonised Content-Management-System.
Graf von Faber-Castell, the premium brand of Faber-Castell, wanted to have a refined and subtle online presence that underlines their holistic sense of quality in creating timeless writing instruments and accessories.
The luxury brand's website had to combine contemporary digital design and web technologies with the heritage of over 250 years of german craftsmanship.
The unique writing instruments are presented in a clear yet prominent way. We enabled the exploration of the various writing instrument series and their material combinations.
Particular attention was given to Graf Faber Castell's Pen Of The Year range, including ten superior annual edition pens – each produced for one year only. Since those high-end pens are individually numbered, limited and handcrafted to perfection, their digital presentation had to be as unique as their particular history of formation. So we took every single Pen Of The Year and created tailor-made stories that let users explore the design, materials, production and craftsmanship. Finally we combined all of these stories in a timeline overview.
"Inspired by selected writing instruments produced by my ancestors, I saw it as a personal challenge to rediscover these products of a past age, and to bring them up to date with timeless design and the use of modern technology." – Anton-Wolfgang Graf von Faber-Castell
Within the business field of online-payment, Paymorrow was one of the first in the market. Competitors had gained market-share within the last years, which forced Paymorrow to evaluate their current position.
Finding a unique position in a harmonised market was the main challenge.
The main insight to Paymorrow's new positioning was, that success of the primary target group equaled their own success. They wanted to be more than merely a service provider - they wanted to be perceived as a partner.
Therefore, a dramatization of their target group's success was chosen as a key element for repositioning the brand. We brought the real clients of Paymorrow to the forefront, to show Paymorrow's dedication to success.
Our solution resulted in a corporate identity that cascaded down to diverse communication measures like - amongst others - a new website and folders.
Now, Paymorrow reflects its core values in the market.
Project M is an existing print magazine published by Allianz, one of the world's biggest insurance group. The stakeholder magazine presents compelling articles, in-depth research and thought-provoking viewpoints by leading figures. Our task was to create a digital magazine that represents thought-leadership in every aspect.
Creating thought-leadership with a digital product means understanding the users needs, meet them and create subtle details and tools that exceed the usability they are used to.
We created an award-winning, fully responsive site concept that focusses on the reader's needs of continuous reading flow, a minimum of distraction and no dead-ends.
The whole content can be accessed without once reloading the website: all the articles open up within the overview templates, making it as easy as possible to get back to your starting point and keep on browsing through related articles.
Facing the challenge of implementing a lot of multimedia and infographic elements without breaking the flow of reading we came up with the possibility for users to expand and collapse these elements – always connected to the specific paragraph.
And finally we integrated a text-marker-tool to share and save particular copy sections on the fly.

Woman accused of hit-and-run on truckFebruary 15,2014Woman accused
of hit-and-run
BENNINGTON A North Bennington woman was charged Monday with a misdemeanor count of leaving the scene of an accident that resulted in property damage, after police said they cited her Jan. 24 because the man driving the truck she allegedly hit called police and stayed on the phone with them until they caught up to her.
Liza LaFountain, 43, of North Bennington, pleaded innocent Monday in Bennington criminal court to the charge. She was released without bail.
In an affidavit, police said they got a call Jan 24 around 8:35 a.m. from a man who said his truck had been hit by a van while he was driving in North Bennington. The man said the crash took place near the intersection of Main and Bank streets after the woman driving the van went through a stop sign without stopping and hit his truck.
The man said the woman driving the van didnt stop so he followed her. He stayed on the phone with police until they were able to stop her.
LaFountain told police she felt a bump but didnt know what it was. She said she hadnt stopped because she was taking her son, who was in the van with her, to school.
Police said LaFountain, who has no criminal record in Vermont, also told them the crash took place in a challenging spot for her because the sun was in her eyes and frost was partially obscuring the windshield.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of...

THESE STOCKS CAN BE USED IF YOU'RE EVER CHALLENGED TO OPEN A PADLOCK - PROVIDED BY THE AUDIENCE. Truly great performers know the secret of an interesting show is variety. OEWS is an effect that delevers variety.
The magician is locked in a secure set of wood wrist stocks reminiscent of Merry Old England. A cloth is used to cover the stocks. Two spectators hold cords preventing the magician from getting any hidden keys. Without hesitation the magician frees himself. The audience goes wild, songs will be written, tales will be told and the magician will be knighted. A guy can dream...right?
The Old English Wrist Stocks is a sure fire applause getter. OWES are a must have if you perform for Cruises, Parties, Schools, Corporate Events, Picnics, Retirement Homes, Amusement Parks, Cub/Boy Scouts or especially perform Motivational Speeches.
THE OLD ENGLISH WRIST STOCKS PROVIDE MUCH NEEDED VARIETY TO YOUR ACT. Every magician should consider owining OEWS if they perform for three people or a full house. School Show and Church performers should especially use this escape as an illistrative point to their message.

Nothing kills holmes it's us and point of view, Religion is there to divide us, knowing how stupid humans are collectively, it's a master plan, we keep each other locked in our own views, we do all the work for them, and look like fools doing it, we can hold beliefs until we learn and have to move on, everything changes, it has too until a balance is reached, King James Black though ha ha ha!! there goes a rib !! laughing hard at that one.
Its ok. Across the pond over here, King James is believed to be a black bloke. Who reads anyway?
Oh that's right--awesome older and wiser black folk. It takes age and discipline to have hope and faith. Some of these tales are lost on the youth. Religion does not kill as far as I know...I am sure there are others. But lack of religion will kill empires.

Check what Hungryman said, I've been saying it as well for years, you and me are the God thing we keep looking outside ourselves for, thats all there is to it. Divine consciousness incarnated into thousands of bodies, that gradually over time have got lost.
Peace, although religion itself is a manmade structure, I believe all religions have a taste of the truth of God, but misinterpret and misdirect this with stories to make their message more appealing. This includes Christianity, all American bibles are miswritten to the point where you could become an atheist by reading it, if you want the truth of yourself, god, and the synchronicity between the two, read the Apocrypha (non edited origin of most books in the bible), Supreme Alphabets/Mathematics, Nation of Islam 120 lessons (gain the knowledge but look beyond the illusion of power that Islam expresses), and also blackroots science . Id suggest reading the Apocrypha first, for a strong foundation of what little knowledge there is of god, and then moving onto the other lessons. Eye opening shit when you begin to innerstand all this.
Posted 25 November 2013 - 07:47 PM
That's a great way to put it. to the most of my knowledge I understand that Islam is in control, you may have to do your own research on them and the subject to see that, word is bond. Though Blackroots science infers this god that we all are as the elders who came together from the first earth expanding their mind into a separate man and woman for magnetic attraction to occur and feel the synchronicity; it also claims blacks to be the original people or man in gods image, and also breaks down what hungryman said for scientific proof because they claim to deal only with the facts; this all may seems far fetched and my explanation is pretty half-assed but if you read it yourself it sheds light on a lot and really all these books; but more-so degrees, have done is assure to me the things that ive always questioned and felt revealed to me long before I came across the information. I just recognize that I truly know nothing but I am here to learn; its a very helpful view to keep me open minded to all that I come across and learn. Life is a learning experience.
Check what Hungryman said, I've been saying it as well for years, you and me are the God thing we keep looking outside ourselves for, thats all there is to it. Divine consciousness incarnated into thousands of bodies, that gradually over time have got lost.
Any time man decides to write down universal knowledge, onto paper it loses it's meaning, it becomes opinion, rather than being accepted as the way, and remaining higher knowledge.
What is more important to me is wondering which religion will get chosen to be the one that rules over the rest, they're merging the schools, social services, normal business, and banks, this One world plot is in full spin, and the last 2 pages of this topic are proving we are in no state to come together yet, we're miles off, I have faith that it will come, but for now I can only shake my head at the sleepers that walk around, backing things up from a book that somebody else wrote.
Instead of war breaking out, can any one imagine peace breaking out.

i work outside in south florida. my job consists of walking for hours and driving all day getting in and out of a truck... very hot, sweaty, and difficult.
my concern is if that much activity will affect my milk supply (let alone the 90 degree weather!). also i have read that you have to be relaxed for the let-down to occur. will i be able to get any milk after a 2.5 hour walk in the heat? i havent started pumping yet so i have no idea how its going to go. i purchased a portable double pump. i am committed to bfing for as long as possible.
i was orginally worried about getting my own body used to working again. now that bfing is established with my lil guy and we enjoy it sooo much, im scared that it will be too difficut to pump at work ( my job is also time sensitive so i will only have 15-20 min breaks) help!

Motorcycle chase leads to arrestJuly 22,2013Motorcycle chase leads to arrest
WHITE RIVER JUNCTION A motorcyclist who led police on a pursuit through downtown White River Junction on Saturday afternoon was arrested after he turned onto a dead-end street behind St. Anthonys Catholic church, police said.
Evan Marsh, whose age and hometown were not immediately available, ended up dumping his motorcycle on the lawn of house right at the end of Maplewood Terrace and surrendering without incident, police said.
Hartford Police Officer Eric Clifford first tried to pull Marsh over for a minor traffic infraction at the top of Schoolhouse Hill on Route 5 near Hartford High School.
But he said Marsh led him on a chase that saw Marsh jump over the median in the middle of Urban Bridge, which spans the White River, in an effort to lose the pursuing cruiser.
As a number of other Hartford officers began converging on the area, Clifford said, Marsh wound his way through the downtown with residents and bystanders on sidewalks pointing out to police which way the motorcycle had gone.
Marsh was arrested and processed for attempting to elude police.MORE IN This Just InWASHINGTON Long-term U.S. Full StoryMONTPELIER The Vermont attorney generals office says drug companies have complied with a state...

Prior to the 2004 college football season, the Manning Award was created by the Allstate Sugar Bowl in honor of the college football accomplishments of Archie, Peyton and Eli Manning. It is the only college football quarterback award that includes the candidates' bowl performances in its balloting; therefore, it is presented annually following the completion of the bowl season. The winner is selected by a panel of national media covering college football, as well as each of the Mannings.
In its first 12 years, the Manning Award has recognized the top names in college football. It has honored quarterbacks from 11 different schools and from four different conferences. The Southeastern Conference leads the way with four Manning Award winners (Johnny Manziel, Cam Newton, JaMarcus Russell, Tim Tebow), while Texas is the only school with two winners (Colt McCoy and Vince Young). Watson is the third winner from the Atlantic Coast Conference, joining Matt Ryan (Boston College, 2007) and Jameis Winston (Florida State, 2013).
Statistically, the Manning Award has seen a wide-range of quarterbacks. Nine of the Manning Award men threw for over 3,000 yards in their winning campaign, including 4,000-yard seasons from Robert Griffin III, Marcus Mariota, Ryan, Watson and Winston. On the other hand, Watson, Young, Manziel and Newton were all 1,000-yard rushers during their Manning years.
Perhaps most impressive among the statistics of the quarterbacks recognized by the Manning Award is touchdowns scored. Seven of the winners accounted for over 40 touchdowns during their successful seasons - Mariota tallied a Manning Award-best 58 touchdowns during his winning campaign in 2014.
One of the more unique aspects of the Manning Award is the fact that it takes into account the quarterbacks bowl performances, in addition to the regular season. Eleven of the 12 Manning Award winners won bowl games during the season they won the honor; the lone loss was by McCoy in the 2010 BCS Championship game when he suffered an early injury. In addition to Watson and McCoy, six other Manning honorees (Leinart, Mariota, Newton, Tebow, Winston and Young) led their teams to the national championship game (BCS or CFP).
Manning Award winners have also factored prominently in the NFL Draft as they all heard their names called on Draft Day (except for Watson, who is just a sophomore). Three honorees were selected No. 1 overall (Newton, Russell and Winston), while four others went No. 2 or No. 3 (Griffin, Mariota, Ryan and Young).
All of the Manning Award winners follow in the footsteps of the Mannings themselves. In college, Archie, Peyton and Eli Manning combined for over 25,000 passing yards and 201 touchdowns while playing in 10 bowl games and earning four bowl MVP awards. Archie was the No. 2 pick in the NFL Draft, while both Peyton and Eli were selected No. 1 overall.

Sustainability house
But the river house was designed primarily for people living comfortably inside. Lenny says the all-electric boiler that McMahon specified for the house keeps it comfortably warm in the winter. "When we leave the house in winter for a few days, it's at 72 degrees," and using a remotely monitored thermostat, the Eco-Bee, he can see it takes three days for the house to cool down to 60. The floors are radiant-heated polished concrete. The structure's high insulation value also makes the house quiet, even in a rainstorm.
McMahon specified a type of polyiso foam insulation that is recycled, has a high thermal resistance value, is cost-effective and environmentally responsible with zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) and virtually no Global Warming Potential (GWP).
The homeowners are happy with the energy availability of the house too. "I turn on the hot water upstairs and, boom, it's there," says Friedland. Soon, solar roof panels will add to the efficiency. A town resolution recently gave the go-ahead on installation of a 7 kilowatt panel system designed by Gordon Smith that will cover the south side roof.
Inside, the living space is open, with views all around—the river in front and the fields and mountain beyond. The couple is "committed to furnishing via yard sale," says Rebekah. She is delighted with the choices McMahon made in the building process, like using old recycled porcelain sinks and furniture in the bathrooms and designing his own light fixtures made of barn-board and recycled galvanized metal. "Letting Jeff make those choices hastened the building process" and was in tune with their sensibilities, she says. In the master bathroom shower, an old exterior four-light door serves as a wall adding to the inside/outside aesthetic.
The original house design called for an all barn-board exterior, but when raw materials were expended, Jeff turned to galvanized steel. The result is a home that is a study in light and dark, yin and yang, with the rough brown wood juxtaposing smooth ribbed steel that is the color of a cloudy day. The deeply-pitched roof seems to be built at an angle perfectly aligned with the tree line behind it. The look is spare and not for everyone, the couple admits, but it seems to suit these New York City transplants. Rebekah took an early retirement recently from her job as a writer at a financial services company. Lenny still commutes to the city two days a week.

Karaoke: Success!
After countless hours of preparation, Jane and I finally had our karaoke party Saturday night. At 9:15 there was one small huddle of people in the center of Lunt basement; we were nervous that not enough people would come or want to sing. We need not have worried.
By 9:45, Lunt was filling up; we played a clip of Nao singing Hero, and our mashup performers took the stage. They were fantastic. Meanwhile, we were overwhelmed with requests to sing karaoke. Our biggest problem was too many people wanting to go.
Jonah and his friend Didem had signed up for "Since U Been Gone" by Kelly Clarkson, but it was the only song Mike Lipsitz, Fossi and the Lloyd 70s guys could agree on. In a great moment of compromise (Haverford style), the two groups agreed to sing it together. The audience cheered.
Genna Cherichello and her cohorts waited not-so-patiently to sing "Umbrella" by Rihanna, starting to chant the chorus every time a new performer went up. When it was finally their turn, they rushed onstage and sang their hearts out. People kept going up and joining them to the point that there were as many people onstage as in the audience.
Everyone was singing and dancing together, to the words, "Umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh." Therisson screamed, "This is bigger than Punk or Prep [the dance at the squash courts]!" The Haverford inner-rock star was released. For a night we were, as the poster Jane created said (stolen and reformatted from a Carnival Cruise ad at the R100 station), "Karaoke Gods."
Jane and I think we have tapped into a desire that has been pent up. We get to see Indie bands synthesize their sounds at Lunt every other weekend, but when do we ever get to sing, and sing the songs we like? Sam Kaplan said he is planning to host another karaoke party in April. We hope that karaoke turns into a regular tradition. We'll sure go to the parties.

Peak Pilates® Aides Life Time Fitness in Nearly Doubling Overall Profits
Pilates program reports 158% growth after forming relationship with Peak Pilates
Life Time Fitness has noted a substantial profit increase in its Pilates program since initially incorporating top-of-the-line equipment and education from Peak Pilates.
Eduardo Perez, National Director of Mind/Body Programs at Life Time Fitness, chose to implement the Peak PilateSystem® (PPS) Instructor Training series, a high quality, scalable and progressive three-part program that builds to a Professional Certification. This provides Life Time's instructors a defined career path as well as a set compensation structure.
Since implementing a consistent Pilates program with Peak Pilates as their partner, Perez states that the Pilates program has reported a 158% growth, nearly doubling overall profits and far exceeding all original expectations of the program.
Life Time Fitness first contacted Peak Pilates after encountering problems with inconsistent instructor training and a need for a structured career pathway for their staff.
Originally, Life Time Fitness began its Pilates program by employing instructors from a variety of training backgrounds and levels. It soon became evident that not only the classes but the instructors themselves were delivering an inconsistent member experience. This in turn led to poor membership retention, as well as constant instructor turnover.
Life Time Fitness currently offers instruction on Peak Pilates Total Workout System®, a Combination System that allows them to offer both private and group instruction on the mat, reformer and tower, which is ideal within a high-use health club setting. By offering fee based classes, private lessons and pre-priced packages, Perez forecasts that Life Time's membership retention and Pilates participation will continue to exceed previous goals.
Peak Pilates' approach to professional development within the PPS Program has allowed Life Time's instructors to become empowered and learn the importance of marketing and networking to new and existing club members.
Perez believes that Peak Pilates' instructor support and quality training has aided Life Time Fitness in developing such a progressive and successful Pilates program.
"It doesn't matter how many signs or posters you put up, it all comes down to the level of accountability and training [of your instructors] that can prove how successful a new program will be," he said.

Man in Armour Holding a Pike, c. 1630
Jan van BijlertDutch, 1597/98-1671
Oil on canvas

On view
Jan van Bijlert was a prime exponent of the Utrecht school of painting in the seventeenth century. He had a predilection for simple, life-size half-figures and regularly painted both formal and allegorical portraits. However, the soldier's theatrical pose, vigilant gaze and elaborate suit of armor argue against this being a portrait and in favor of its being a representation of a type of mythological personage, perhaps the god Mars. The elaborate sash and orange and blue feathers symbolize the forces of the United Netherlands and their fight against Spain during the Eighty Years' War (1568–1648).

The French for "hyphen" is trait d'union (with a silent final t in trait).

FURSCA Feature: Emma Schaff, '14
Your Major:
Psychology and Spanish
Your Adviser:
Mareike Wieth and Andrea Francis
Briefly explain your FURSCA project.
My project examines the relationship between creativity and pronoun use, if such a relationship even exists.
What have you learned so far in doing your research?
I learned that though research has the reputation of being monotonous and difficult, it can actually be really interesting and applicable to many other areas of life outside your field.
Why did you pick this particular project?
Being a double major, I am always looking for opportunities to connect my areas of study and found the project that moved in the direction of doing just that. When combined with the interests of my advisers, we created a project that interested all of us.
How will this FURSCA project help you after Albion?
This project has been incredibly beneficial for exposing me to the elements of what doing good research means. The knowledge I have gained this summer will be invaluable at grad school and beyond. I feel better prepared to take the steps needed to achieve my academic and career goals.
What's next for your project?
The foundation I have built this summer will serve to inform my Honors thesis that I will work on throughout my senior year. I also hope to do an Elkin Isaac Symposium presentation on it.
Looking back, how has the project worked out?
The project didn't get the results I had expected, but I've definitely had fun in the process despite that. Participants were asked to tell stories in my study and it was quite amusing to listen to all of them. Psychology in general has always fascinated me, so it was very rewarding to be able to investigate topics that were relevant as well as interesting to me personally.

- Abstract
- This study has evaluated an in vitro model of the follicle-associated epithelia that overlie Peyer's patches of the small intestine. The model shares many phenotypic characteristics of M cells in vivo. Co-cultures of the human adenocarcinoma cell line Caco-2 and freshly isolated Peyer's patch cells were established. Fluorescence microscopy and quantitative image analysis were used to validate the model against known markers of M-cell phenotype. Apical expression of alkaline phosphatase was down-regulated in co-cultures and villin was re-distributed from the apical membrane to the cytoplasm. alpha5beta1 integrin was found on the apical surfaces of the monolayers and B and T lymphocytes integrated into the monolayers. Particle transport was temperature-dependent in co-cultures, indicating that a transcytotic route was responsible. This model provides opportunities to study factors that influence M-cell development, assess putative Peyer's patch targeting in oral vaccine technologies, and study intestinal uptake in vitro.

CRYSTAL LAKE – More than $165,000 was raised at The Family Health Partnership Clinic's annual Gala & Dinner Auction at the Holiday Inn. 800 S. Route 31, Crystal Lake.
The Kentucky Derby-themed evening attracted 250 guests and featured southern-style food and entertainment. Derby attire was encouraged – especially hats.
Vince Foglia, CEO of Sage Products, gave opening remarks which focused on philanthropy and giving back to the community. He also presented each attendee with a copy of the book "The Go Giver" by Bob Burg and John David Mann.
The evening included a live and silent auction conducted by Woodstock Mayor Brian Sager. After the auctions, guests had an opportunity to purchase specific items for use in the new clinic facility, slated to open in Crystal Lake in October.
"With the assistance of Mayor Sager and the support of Mr. Foglia and many guests, the clinic was able to raise the largest amount ever for the clinic at this event, just over $165,000," said FHPC Development Coordinator Cathy Patenaude. "We are very fortunate and thankful for their involvement and belief in what FHPC stands for."
Centegra Health System, Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital and Covidien were this year's top "Triple Crown" sponsors.

Freedom Newspapers: Karl Terry Roosevelt County pitcher Caleb Burciaga puts the tag on Clovis American's Kurt Kelley, who was trying to score on a short passed ball, during Friday's opening-round game of the District 3 Little League 9-10 division at Rotary Park in Portales.
By Karl Terry: Freedom Newspapers
PORTALES — After jumping out to a 10-0 lead after 2 1/2 innings, the Clovis American All-Stars had to go the full six-inning distance before subduing Roosevelt County County 10-5 in a District 3 Little League 9-10 first-round game Friday night at Rotary Park.
Kordell Tindle picked up the win for American, striking out four batters in four-plus innings. Samuel Conlee finished the game and added three strikeouts.
"The kids played hard, very hard," American coach Eloy Flores said. "Our defense was excellent and the pitching was there all night."
After a throwing error netted American's Jaylen Harris three bases in the top of the second, the American All-Stars went on to build a 5-0 lead. They tacked on five more in the third and were looking to 10-run-rule Roosevelt County until Payton Casey bounced an RBI ground-rule double over left field fence to put the Portales squad on the board.
Roosevelt County's first three innings were plagued with numerous errors, but its batters remained steady all night at the plate.
Roosevelt held American scoreless over the last three innings, but couldn't put together enough offense to make up for the earlier lapses.
In the fourth, Michah Obenhaus connected on a two-run single to make it 10-4.
Casey blasted a triple in the fifth inning to score a runner, then scored himself after a single by Christopher Aranda.
"We didn't wake up until the fifth inning," Roosevelt coach Carleton Casey said. "We had a little trouble at first, but we're ready now."
Both teams are back in action at 7 p.m. Monday. American faces Zia at Rotary Park in Portales, while Roosevelt plays Quay County at Beachum Field in Clovis.

Washington, D.C. – With 13.3 percent of recent veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan unemployed across New York State as of June 2011, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, is making a new push to pass the Hiring Heroes Act of 2011, legislation that would equip all returning U.S. troops with critical job-skills training and ensure more job opportunities for veterans.
The legislation seeks to help create new jobs for returning veterans through increased job training, personal employment assessments and changing federal hiring practices. The legislation would equip all returning U.S. troops with critical job-skills training through the government's Transition Assistance Program (TAP), which provides job-search techniques and resume and interviewing workshops.
"Too many of our troops who risked their lives protecting our country return home to an alarming rate of joblessness," Senator Gillibrand said. "We must combat this growing crisis and leverage our talented pool of veterans by providing them with a pathway toward economic success. When our brave men and women return, we need to ensure they are equipped with valuable job skills and open doors to employment opportunities."
Based on BLS data, an estimate of more than 8,000 recent veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan are unemployed across New York State as of June 2011.
• In the Hudson Valley, an estimate of nearly 1,000 recent veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan are unemployed.
To combat the rising joblessness among young troops and provide them a roadmap to employment, Senator Gillibrand is pushing for passage of the Hiring Heroes Act of 2011, which would require all departing service members to get job training skills through the government's Transition Assistance Program (TAP), which provides job-search techniques and resume and interviewing workshops. According to the Department of Defense, up to one-third of service members currently do not participate in the voluntary program, led by the Labor Department in partnership with the Defense Department and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
Additionally, the bill would enhance the TAP program by providing each veteran with a personal assessment of their employment opportunities based on their service experience. After training, federal agencies would also be required to follow up with veterans on their job search – within six months of the training program and every three months after leaving service for the first year. This information would be used to improve the effectiveness of the TAP program and increase the quality of job training available to exiting service members.
To boost the number of jobs for returning service members, the bill would change federal hiring practices that allow soldiers to begin the federal employment process before they leave the military and encourage hiring of more service members. The bill would also create a competitive grant program for non-profits that provide mentorship and job training programs in an effort to boost job placements with private-sector companies.
And to make the transition easier for service members who already have technical skill sets, such as driving a military ambulance, agencies would also have to identify ways to eliminate barriers in moving from military employment into civilian jobs.
According to the Department of Labor, more than 20 percent of young veterans nationwide between the ages of 18 and 24 were unemployed in 2010.

IO Sizes and Alignments with Dtrace
By Lisa Noordergraaf on Jan 10, 2010
In some previous postings I've talked a bit about the impact of IO size and alignments on the performance of flash devices. These parameters are easily controlled in a microbenchmarking environment, but can be quite difficult to determine in more complex application environments.
A lot of folks have asked me about using iostat in this context. The iostat utility is great for telling you the total number of reads and writes, but it doesn't convey information about individual sizes and alignments (start addresses) of those IOs. You can easily figure out the \*average\* IO size from iostat, but that may or may not correlate well to actual size of individual reads and writes depending on the workload.
One way of getting more visibility into IO sizes and alignments is to use
dtrace to gather the information of interest. In this post, I'll share
with you a script that has been used internally for this purpose.
This should be viewed as a "unsupported, evolving" script, and I will
post updates as we tweak it. Nonetheless, it seems to be a fairly useful
bit of code and worth sharing. A link to the full script is provided at the bottom of this post.
A few bits of info about this script...
The script instruments a function in the sd driver, and basically just histograms the sizes of IO packets. It turns out that one of the difficult parts about doing this is not getting the packet size, but gathering the information for only the devices you are interested in.
One option is to restrict by using major/minor device numbers, but that is not the most intuitive thing from a user standpoint. These also tend to vary quite a bit, so one would always be hacking up the script. We needed a better way...
Paul Riethmuller came up with the swell idea of using the product id string that is stored when a inquiry command is done. For example:
# format Searching for disks...done AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS: 0. c0t1d0
/pci@0,0/pci108e,5354@1f,2/disk@1,0 1. c0t2d0 /pci@0,0/pci108e,5354@1f,2/disk@2,0 2. c0t3d0 /pci@0,0/pci108e,5354@1f,2/disk@3,0 3. c1t0d0 /pci@0,0/pci8086,3408@1/pci1000,1000@0/sd@0,0 4. c1t1d0 /pci@0,0/pci8086,3408@1/pci1000,1000@0/sd@1,0 5. c1t2d0 /pci@0,0/pci8086,3408@1/pci1000,1000@0/sd@2,0 6. c1t3d0 /pci@0,0/pci8086,3408@1/pci1000,1000@0/sd@3,0 Specify disk (enter its number): 6 selecting c1t3d0 [disk formatted] FORMAT MENU: disk - select a disk type - select (define) a disk type partition - select (define) a partition table current - describe the current disk format - format and analyze the disk fdisk - run the fdisk program repair - repair a defective sector label - write label to the disk analyze - surface analysis defect - defect list management backup - search for backup labels verify - read and display labels save - save new disk/partition definitions inquiry - show vendor, product and revision volname - set 8-character volume name ! - execute , then return quit format> inquiry Vendor: ATA Product: MARVELL SD88SA02 Revision: D20R
The script as currently presented below tracks the number of total IOs issued for all devices, but only keeps detailed statistics for those devices that have a Product ID starting with "MARVEL". (This happens to be the Product ID returned if you run the inquiry command on a Sun F5100 or F20 flash device. ;-)).
Also note that currently the script produces limited output every 5 seconds, but the full histogram of IO sizes is only printed when one hits \^C. Obviously this can be changed to suit. Also note I'm not much of a dtrace hacker- you can find much better in other places at Sun. ;-)

Former paramedic files wrongful termination suit
CHARLES TOWN – A former Jefferson County paramedic fired last year after 13 years on the job has filed a wrongful termination lawsuit against the Jefferson County Emergency Services Agency, alleging he was fired in retaliation for a grievance complaint about workplace harassment.
The lawsuit filed Wednesday in Jefferson County Circuit Court by Robert Shackelford seeks a total of $34,417 in damages.
"I'm filing suite(sic) for wrongful termination from the Jefferson County Emergency Services Agency on the basses(sic) of work place harassment and retaliation after filing a formal grievance with the board about problems I was having with Mr. Pittinger, that was never completed before termination," Shackelford wrote in the notice that he was filing the lawsuit.
Shackelford says he was fired for insubordination shortly after filing a grievance complaint against JCESA Director, Douglas M. Pittinger, for workplace harassment, re-hired and then fired again based on a different complaint. He also alleges that he filed an appeal after his last termination, but says he never got a response and was never given the option of having a hearing.
"This all seems(sic) like a personnel(sic) vendetta against me," Shackelford's notice reads.
Shackelford said he is filing the lawsuit to clear his name. In addition to compensation and back pay, he is seeking a letter of apology and recommendation from the JCESA.
Shackelford filed a grievance letter against Pittinger Aug. 22, alleging he was harassed by Pittinger. Pittinger accused Shackelford of insubordination after, according to Pittinger, a student intern working under Shackelford's supervision was found twice with Shackelford at the JCESA offices after a 10 p.m. curfew for student interns.
On Aug. 27, Pittinger issued a letter to Shackelford indicating disciplinary action would be taken against him for insubordination for violating the curfew policy and for becoming argumentative.
Pittinger's letter mentions a previous letter of disciplinary action rendered against Shackelford on Nov. 29, 2011, in which Pittinger wrote he would seriously consider Shackelford's termination if his alleged insubordination continued.
"It is my opinion you continue to resent authority and disregard written policy/guidelines of JCESA. Your personnel folder has many examples of disciplinary actions for multiple offenses that confirm this statement. As a result of your continued insubordination for the management and policies of JCESA, I will recommended the the Personnel Committee of JCESA that you be terminated from employment with this agency immediately," the letter reads.
On Sept. 18, Shackelford received a letter from Ed Boober, chairman of the JCESA Personnel Committee, informing him that he was being terminated immediately. Two days later, Shackelford received a second letter informing him that instead of being fired, he was being placed on administrative leave with pay.
On Sept. 25, Shackelford received another letter from Pittinger alleging he had intentionally falsified JCESA documents and records regarding an advanced cardiovascular life support recertification class Shackelford was supposed to have taught Sept. 15. The class was sponsored by JCESA and Shackelford was compensated for teaching the class. Pittinger alleged that all of the students attending the class told him that there were no practical skills taught in the class, even though Shackelford submitted paperwork showing all of the standards had been met by the students.
A day later, Shackelford received a second notice of termination from Boober.
"You have misrepresented this agency as an instructor and submitted documents that are not factual to AHA. These actions on your part were very inappropriate and discredited the integrity of this agency," the termination letter reads.
In a copy of appeal notes, Shackelford alleged he received the two letters five minutes before his grievance hearing and that he had no time to rebut the allegations. A letter written by Martinsburg attorney Susan Thompson to Jefferson County Prosecutor Ralph Lorenzetti in December argued that Shackelford's firing was unlawful because it was in violation of Shackelford's rights under the state constitution to petition for redress of grievances and to have the courts open to him.
"Shortly after his unlawful termination, someone realized that Mr. Shackelford's firing during the grievance process was inappropriate and my client was 'rehired.' He was then immediately fired again under the seemingly more plausible pretext of a complaint letter from Dr. Jones and a training complaint from manager Doug Pittinger," the letter reads.
Thompson alleged it appeared a plan had already been made to circumvent the grievance process by firing Shackelford.
"The two late-dated letters are all too obviously a transparent pretext for termination of employment. My client's discharge was within such an immediate period of time that a court would infer retaliation," Thompson's letter reads.

...for now.
If he gets as good a reception world wide as he has here then he will probably have to choose eventually between the big name band and the little known band. Look at Stu Block, he still hasn't announced his departure from Into Eternity yet but in an interview with one of MS's Staff members he stated that he was basically done with Into Eternity and was focused entirely on Iced Earth because they are the bigger band and need him a lot more than Into Eternity. I'm thinking it's only a matter of time before Tommy departs Seventh Wonder for Kamelot. Just saying...

I hope what you say will not happen; I hope Tommy remains loyal to his friends in Seventh Wonder (as he has been so far).

maybe SW will tour the world with them sometime as a support act, who knows.
Written by psykometal on 11.07.2012 at 04:13
That would certainly be interesting for sure but it might also be a bit too strenuous for Tommy voice depending on the length of such a tour since Kamelot usually play long sets to get good coverage of their catalogue...

Roy Khan is god.
As people have already discussed in pages about Roy in forums, I don't think anyone gonna start discussing about "Why Roy Left Kamelot?!'/"Was He Really A Backbone Of Kamelot?". Anyhoo, Roy Khan's worshipers might PM you about his updates.
For me, he was always been a good singer. Not an equivalent to give a status of god of power metal singers or something like that. Although, Kamelot's finest releases happened in Roy's era but taggin' he's god is sheer exaggeration(only if you don't worship Roy Khan).

It appears that both Widnes and Hull have been allowed to dual-register their ENTIRE first-team squads with Workington Town and York City Knights respectively, with FIVE players not selected for SL duty on any given weekend expected to line-up for their Championship partners. The Championship clubs concerned will effectively be allowed to choose from any five players who haven't made the cut on any given weekend.
I'm afraid that this is the beginning of the end for RL at out level. The clubs involved in this sham are simply losing all self-respect and dignity. I've got to admit that I'm fairly unhappy with our own arrangement with Huddersfield Giants, and was slightly suspicious to see the names of three Giants players on our teamsheet for the friendly on Thursday night, however as long as we don't get players inflicted upon us once the season starts (at the expense of official Batley players) I won't be getting too upset. Once that situation becomes a reality, however, I'll be walking away. I don't want to see my club winning games with five Super League players from another club - that we've borrowed for the weekend, in our line-up. It'd be humiliating and an insult to our past achievements in surviving as a proud, independent club with a rich history that has battled against the odds more times than I care to remember.
For clubs such as York and Workington though, the death knell has already sounded. Dress it up anyway you want - and some forum members appear eager to do just that, but any sense of dignity is being thrown right out of the window.

The Hapuna Beach State Recreation Area on the Big Island became one of four recreational areas statewide to charge a parking fee for non-residents.
The other parks that have a parking fee are the Nuuanu Pali Lookout State Wayside on Oahu, Iao Valley State Monument on Maui and Akaka Falls State Park on the Big Island, according to West Hawaii Today.
The state is expected to collect hundreds of thousands of dollars every year in the new venture. It's money that will help offset the high cost of maintaining the beach park.
Starting on April 1, non-residents must pay $5 to park with commercial tour groups paying up to $40 a vehicle.
"Visitors are used to, and more than happy to, assist the budget of the locally run state park," said Ben Wesley of Republic Parking. "More often than not, when people leave they tell us it was worth it."
A state ID will get locals in for free.
"State residents, everything is the same. You just continue to enjoy the park as you always have," said Wesley.
Hapuna, with its long stretch of white sand, is one of the Big Island's most popular beaches.
David Roberts Jr. has lived on the Kohala coast for the last three decades and says visitors who enjoy the beach should contribute to its upkeep.
"I think it's a good thing that they pay a fee," said Roberts. "They're used to it and they have the money, so why not?"
The state has contracted with Republic Parking, a private company to run the parking enforcement and is expected to collect a minimum of $200,000 a year. That money will offset maintenance costs and lifeguards' salaries.
Roberts says the money is definitely needed here.
"Need the bathrooms fixed and keep the showers going. " said Roberts. "You know the showers are always breaking down. Just keep the place clean and safe because lifeguards perform a vital role."
The money generated from the parking fees is not expected to fully cover the cost of maintaining Hapuna Beach, but officials say it will be a huge help.
