Were the huge world cotton crops of 2004 and 2005 simple flukes or have world producers achieved a new plateau for yield? According to Joe Nicosia, president and CEO, Allenberg Cotton Co., the latter could be the case. ŌĆ£Clearly yields have reached new minimum levels, with the majority of yield increases taking place in Pakistan and India.ŌĆØ
The push toward higher yields has made forecasts difficult for USDAŌĆÖs statistical services, noted Nicosia, speaking at the Cotton Roundtable, at the New York Board of Trade in New York City.
For example, USDA began 2004-05 with an estimated world crop production of 102.5 million bales. ŌĆ£We ended that year with 120 million bales. We had a phenomenal increase in yields everywhere ŌĆō the United States, Pakistan, India, and just about every country that grew cotton.ŌĆØ
In 2005-06, ŌĆ£the question was whether those yields were real or not. Was it just a one-time event, or have we really entered into new (plateau) because of new seeds and new farming practices that are taking place? That year, USDAŌĆÖs first estimate was 107 million bales of production. Today, they think itŌĆÖs going to be 114 million bales, up 7 million bales.
Nicosia believes world production this year will edge slightly higher than last year to around 115 million bales. ŌĆ£That could change depending on weather ŌĆō we have a lot of growing season ahead of us. It could go up to 119 million to 120 million bales, or it could drop down to 105 million bales. The problem we have in forecasting prices is that the difference between these ranges of production equate to ranges of 20 cents in futures prices.ŌĆØ
Nicosia estimates production in the United States this season of somewhere between 21.4 million bales and 21.6 million bales, a range larger than most trade guesses. ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖre not quite as pessimistic about prospects in Texas. I would be very surprised if the Texas crop comes in under 5 million bales.ŌĆØ
The impressive growth in yield and production around the world has been overshadowed by only one thing ŌĆō staggering world growth in cotton consumption, especially from China.
ŌĆ£China no longer grows enough cotton for its own consumption, and thatŌĆÖs not going to change,ŌĆØ Nicosia said. ŌĆ£Land for cotton production is fairly limited. Producers tend to make small increases or decreases in acreage and tend to be very responsive to price. Every additional bale of consumption is going to have to be filled by bringing in more imports.ŌĆØ
Nicosia noted that over the last five years, world cotton consumption has grown an average of 4.5 percent every year, which equates to roughly 5 million bales a year. ŌĆ£ThatŌĆÖs a lot of use every year to add to the balance sheet and it creates the demand for additional production each year.
ŌĆ£In 2004-05, world cotton use grew by 10 million bales in a single year,ŌĆØ said Nicosia. ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖve never seen anything like that. We were very lucky that that happened because that same year, the world crop grew from 102 million bales ŌĆō which would have been a disaster price-wise ŌĆō to 120 million bales.ŌĆØ
Two-thirds of the increase in cotton consumption has come from China. ŌĆ£From 1999 to 2004, China has been responsible for the majority of growth in cotton use around the world, increasing its consumption by 16 million bales. In the last two years, weŌĆÖve also seen a resurgence in cotton use in Pakistan, India and Turkey, where consumption has increased roughly 5 million bales.ŌĆØ
Nicosia projects another strong increase in world cotton use for 2006-07, to around 120 million bales. ŌĆ£The world has grown that much cotton only once, in 2004, so itŌĆÖs going to put a lot of strain on the production system. The growth in use in the world is really going to be a driving force, not only this season, but for the next several years.ŌĆØ
With 55-cent cotton, the biggest challenge for cotton is to maintain acreage, according to Nicosia. ŌĆ£If we plug in another 5 million bales of consumption in 2007-08, we would have a world consumption number of about 125 million bales, 5 million bales larger than the largest crop ever produced in the world. To get anywhere close to those types of numbers, we are going to have to maintain our acreage and/or increase it around the world, and we have to maintain our yields.ŌĆØ
At some point, supplies of cotton in China have to be reconciled, according to Nicosia. ŌĆ£In 2007-08, we start with a world carryin of about 48.7 million bales and production of 119 million bales. WeŌĆÖre actually not plugging in a 5 percent increase in consumption for 2007-08, so weŌĆÖre looking at consumption of 122.8 million bales.
ŌĆ£In 2007-08, we end up with 48.1 million bales of world carryout. When you look at those figures, the numbers donŌĆÖt add up (the carryout should have dropped by over 3 million bales), and this is probably the largest problem fundamentally that we have in the cotton market today.ŌĆØ
Essentially, over the last five years, 11 million bales of unaccounted supply has been added to the world balance sheet, due to discrepancies in ChinaŌĆÖs accounting system.
ŌĆ£Every year for the past five years, China appears to be running out of cotton, and every year, they do not run out of cotton. So something is wrong with the numbers. We donŌĆÖt know what it is, but itŌĆÖs something that everybody is trying to deal with.
ŌĆ£One of these years, weŌĆÖll finally get the numbers down in China, where theyŌĆÖre absolutely out of stock and weŌĆÖll be able to reset the balance sheet at zero and start over.ŌĆØ

Contract research organization
A contract research organization (CRO) is an organization that provides support to the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device industries in the form of research services outsourced on a contract basis. A CRO may provide such services as biopharmaceutical development, biologic assay development, commercialization, preclinical research, clinical research, clinical trials management, and pharmacovigilance. CROs also support foundations, research institutions, and universities, in addition to governmental organizations (such as the NIH, EMA, etc.).[1]
Many CROs specifically provide clinical-study and clinical-trial support for drugs and/or medical devices.[2][3] CROs range from large, international full-service organizations to small, niche specialty groups.
CROs that specialize in clinical-trials services can offer their clients the expertise of moving a new drug or device from its conception to FDA/EMA marketing approval, without the drug sponsor having to maintain a staff for these services.[4]
Regulatory aspects[edit]
Specifically pertaining to CROs providing clinical-trials services, the International Conference on Harmonisation of technical requirements for registration of pharmaceuticals for human use (ICH-GCP) (E6 1.20) defines a Contract Research Organization (CRO) as: "A person or an organization (commercial, academic, or other) contracted by the sponsor to perform one or more of a sponsor's trial-related duties and functions."
- (5.2.1) A sponsor may transfer any or all of the sponsor's trial-related duties and functions to a CRO, but the ultimate responsibility for the quality and integrity of the trial data always resides with the sponsor. The CRO should implement quality assurance and quality control.
- (5.2.2) Any trial-related duty and function that is transferred to and assumed by a CRO should be specified in writing.
- (5.2.3) Any trial-related duties and functions not specifically transferred to and assumed by a CRO are retained by the sponsor.
- (5.2.4) All references to a sponsor in this guideline also apply to a CRO to the extent that a CRO has assumed the trial-related duties and functions of a sponsor.
Market size and growth[edit]
There are over 1,100 CROs in the world, despite continued trends toward consolidation (many CROs are being acquired in recent times or others go out of business).[5] It is a very fragmented industry with the top 10 controlling 56.1% of the market in 2008[6] and down to 55% in 2009.[7][8] One estimate had the size of the market set to reach $24 billion in 2010[9] and set to grow at a rate of 8.5% through 2015.[10]
However, more recent data reveal a 15.5% increase in R&D spend from 2015 to 2020.[11]
The top CROs, according to outsourcing-pharma.com,[12] are Quintiles, Parexel, Pharmaceutical Product Development (PPD), INC Research, Covance, Medpace, PRA Health Sciences, inVentiv Health, Meditrial Europe and Chiltern.

Bill Defining Moral Turpitude Clears Hurdle
Montgomery, Alabama – A bill that would define the term "moral turpitude" has made it through a House committee. The bill would identify more than 70 felonies as crimes, which if committed, would prevent a convicted person from voting.
The bill would also keep a convicted felon from automatically having his or her voting rights restored. The measure is headed to the full Alabama House for consideration.

Jenny Sealey wins Liberty Human Rights Arts Award
Last night Jenny Sealey was awarded the Liberty Human Rights Arts Award at Liberty's annual awards ceremony.
Jenny and Judith attended the awards ceremony held at the Southbank Centre which was compèred by Sandi Toksvig. Benedict Cumberbatch, Rowan Atkinson with Frances Butler presented awards and there was a surprise appearance by Emeli Sande who performed at the end of the evening. Liberty's Director Shami Chakrabarti welcomed guests and presided over the ceremony.
Jude Kelly (Artistic Director of the Southbank Centre) presented Jenny with this prestigious award which recognises Jenny's fantastic work with Deaf and disabled artists throughout her career.
Jenny's acceptance speech focused on persevering with the fight for disabled people's rights, especially when governmental cuts could have a significant negative effect on disabled people's participation in life and the arts. When talking about the London 2012 Paralympic Opening Ceremony (which referenced the Declaration of Human Rights) Jenny said the award was also for Bradley Hemmings who co-directed the ceremony with her.
Jenny Sealey said,
'This is such an important award to win. It is in recognition that the work of Graeae and indeed the Paralympic Opening Ceremony is rooted in Human Rights. It recognises that art empowers, transforms perceptions and challenges prejudice. It is vital that our work carries on with even more drive and determination as there is every danger with the cuts to benefits and the arts that Deaf and disabled people once again will be relegated to the sidelines and forgotten.'
Other winners included: Martha Payne for Young Person of the Year; Hillsborough Family Support Group, Hillsborough Justice Campaign and Hope for Hillsborough for the 'Long Walk' Award; Ben Cooper for the Lawyer of the Year; Aaron Sonson, Satwant Singh Kenth, Gregory PaczKowski for the 'Close to Home' Award; Lord Pannick for Independent Voice of the Year and Campaigners of the Year going to 38 Degrees and Open Rights Group. Two lifetime achievement awards were presented on the evening. Sir Nicholas Bratza was recognised for his dedicated service as the UK judge of the European Court of Human Rights and Baroness Jane Campbell of Surbiton was celebrated for her long-standing commitment and dedication to defending and upholding the rights of disabled people in the UK.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced that as part of an interagency partnership with the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) to strengthen American energy security and develop new clean energy technologies, DOD will be installing and operating 18 fuel cell backup power systems at eight military installations across the country. The Departments will test how the fuel cells perform in real world operations, identify any technical improvements manufacturers could make to enhance performance, and highlight the benefits of fuel cells for emergency backup power applications.
In a key step towards advancing a clean energy economy, scientists have engineered a cheap, abundant way to make hydrogen fuel from sunlight and water.
The U.S. Department of Energy joined with the U.S. Commerce Department's Economic Development Administration (EDA) and its Office of Innovation and Entrepreneurship today to announce the opening of the $12 million i6 Green Challenge, which will also be conducted in partnership with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the National Science Foundation, and Commerce's National Institute of Standards and Technology and U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
We hear a lot about renewables like wind and solar these days, but what's the deal with fuel cells and is there a future in them?
While outstanding performances in film were being honored at this year's Academy Awards, some engineers and businesses were focused on a different performance — that of a lighting system illuminating the famed red carpet.

Network Marketing – Beware Selling The Idea Of SellingWritten by Steve Winduss on September 26, 2010 – 10:27 pm -
Selling The Idea Of Selling
Network marketing prospecting is the real heart of your network marketing business – selling the idea of selling. In other words, whilst selling products to friends, relatives and other contacts starts the sales commissions rolling, there's a better way.
The real money is to be made through proactive network marketing prospecting and bringing more and more people into your network. If you can get 5 people to join you and they each get 5 people who in turn each get 5 people and you get sales commissions from all of them, then you can make some serious money.
However, network marketing has picked up a bit of bad karma. The evangelistic methods passed down from network leaders through their distributors to unsuspecting public like you and me has left a little problem.

Small Business Myth #5: Make Yourself IndispensableWritten by Steve Winduss on February 6, 2010 – 12:56 pm -
Make yourself indispensable. That must be the key to a long and successful small business career surely.
We've all seen them. Strutting the office like a displaying peacock. Assured of the fact that no one else could do the job they do. It would be impossible. And therefore they are indispensable.
How wonderful. How wonderful that if they got run over by a bus this afternoon the small business' vertical pipeline would come to a standstill because they were no longer able to carry out their work.
Ah yes you say but you have to think of No 1 first, yourself. Make yourself indispensable and that small business will need you more. And they will pay you more and love and nurture you.
Well let me tell you how it is from the small business perspective: They hate "indispensable ". They loathe "indispensable ". If there's one thing they can't abide, it's "indispensable ". Read more »

Yes, But What Is Network Marketing?Written by Steve Winduss on December 7, 2009 – 5:08 pm -
Network Marketing, MLM, multi-level marketing. Whatever you call it it's the same thing, but exactly what is Network Marketing and is it a viable business model?
I'll be kind and give you a short answer and a long answer, take your pick.
What is network marketing ? – the short answer:
Network marketing is a particular type of business model which involves normal people like you and me (well, almost normal in my case…) selling a company's products to friends, relatives and other contacts whilst at the same time encouraging those same people to take up the same mantle and sell the same products to their friends, relatives etc
This is building the network and your sales commissions are based on everyting sold within your network. Seems simple enough. If you've got the energy, let's delve into this in a bit more detail. Read more »

Focus On Creating Value From Good IdeasWritten by Steve Winduss on October 21, 2009 – 10:06 pm -
How often have I spoken to entrepreneurs with a sound idea and a willing investor who spend too much time trying to get the best deal out of the investor, losing track on creating value from the good ideas that brought them together in the first place . This is a typical question:
I currently own 70% of Company X Ltd and have 20% against a loan note for about £3K. The other 10% can be brought back for £2.5K-£5K. I also own 50% of Company Y Ltd. The question goes on to explain the relationship between the two companies, then continues: I feel that if I could structure my situation better, I may be able to retain ownership and a larger slice of the pie. If you have any ideas on how I could structure my situation, that would be great.
At the moment you have no value. Everything exists as ideas or shell companies or partnership agreements or something else. Nothing is earning any money for you currently. Spending time trying to maximise your share of something with no value has little value either. Read more »

Entrepreneurship & IsolationWritten by Steve Winduss on October 16, 2009 – 6:55 am -
Entrepreneurship and isolation, do the two go hand in hand?
Sir, I am both entrepreneurial and social. As a recent university graduate I miss being among other people. Being around others invigorates me. As I grow my business and hire new employees will I feel reinvigorated? Does it matter if the people you work with are your "equals" or are people you hired?
Isolation is not a pre-requisite for Entrepreneurship, although it is easy to fall into this mindset.
Something that is very difficult to predict prior to starting your own business is how lonely it is potentially going to be. You've got two employees, neither of which even vaguely understand what you're all about. You've got 10 customers and 3 suppliers and they're not interested in your personal welfare either. So what to do and who to turn to? Read more »

Hot, Flat And Crowded – And Why You Should Read ItWritten by Steve Winduss on April 10, 2009 – 2:51 pm -
Hot, Flat and Crowded – Thomas L Friedman
The do-gooders have got it all wrong. They have been telling us for eons that we have to save our planet. Rubbish. Our planet is just fine. It's our ability to stay living on a planet that's becoming hot, flat and crowded that's the problem.
You see, the planet doesn't care if we are here or not. And the bad news is that we are living on borrowed time and not doing very much about it.
"Hot, Flat and Crowded" by Thomas Friedman goes some way to helping us understand this dilemma and puts together a broad template to help get us out of this mess. But it's not going to be easy and success is by no means assured.
So what does Hot, Flat and Crowded refer to? Well, in a nutshell…
Hot – greenhouse effect, climate change, fossil fuels, rising sea levels and so on.
Flat – An increasingly connected and enabled world through the internet and improved telecommunications where individuals across the globe can prosper as never before. But this extraordinary expansion of the 'middle class' brings its own problems.
Crowded – A global population of 6.7 billion rising to 9 billion by 2050, where are they all going to go? What will they eat? How will they (ie we) survive? Read more »

Ryanair – When Customer Service Goes Down The ToiletWritten by Steve Winduss on March 6, 2009 – 1:31 pm -
So Ryanair are considering charging passengers to use their inflight toilets. Have they proved that customer service really doesn't matter after all, or will Ryanair have stepped beyond the pail on this one?
Ryanair's latest wheeze to charge for their inflight toilets is the latest in an unofficial socio-economic experiment being run by the company. To what level can they continue to strip customer service out of the system before people will stop buying their cheap tickets? Just how badly do customers want to get to destinations for next to nothing? And, to be fair, it's a fascinating experiment to watch.
At the moment it seems OK that luggage is lost, flights are cancelled without warning or recompense, grumpy tetchy service is endured, surprise charges at check-ins are standard, customer service lines are unhelpful and stampedes for boarding gates are the norm. Read more »

Plan To Face The Dragon's Den – Part IIWritten by Steve Winduss on February 19, 2009 – 10:57 pm -
OK, we're half way through our preparation to face the Dragon's Den. If you missed Plan To Face The Dragon's Den Part I then refer back. Let's move on to the next stage, steps 7 -12.
7. Proof
A business idea on its own is worthless. The world is awash with ideas. You must elevate your business idea to something of commercial value before you walk into the Dragon's Den. You need proof. Proof essentially breaks down into two parts:
– Does your product work? Make sure you have a working prototype, or better still the real thing. A malfunctioning prototype and you can kiss a warm reception goodbye.
– Will anyone buy it? Research is of little value. Particularly on the scale that your limited funds are likely to reach. Try selling your product first. Get listings from high profile retailers/ wholesalers. If you can't get listings, get a purchase order. Get a letter from the CEO saying how he will stock your product. Get anything that provides evidence that your product will have buyers. And lots of them. Read more »

Plan To Face The Dragon's Den – Part IWritten by Steve Winduss on February 10, 2009 – 1:33 am -
You're keen to subject yourself to the Dragon's Den. But will you end up champ or chump?
The Dragon's Den goes from strength to strength. We can't get enough of it. You can now even take part in the online version of the show securing up to £50,000 for your enterprise.
Individuals endlessly expose themselves to the Dragon's Den. Occasionally it pays off but we continue to be stunned by the ill preparation and idiocy of so many.
How we cringe when a Dragon fires a gentle opener "what's your expected turnover next year?" to which the hapless entrepreneur replies "er, um, er… ten million pounds". When pressed a little harder, it transpires that they meant to say "ten thousand pounds". No, wait a minute, that's not right um, oh, er… I don't know, quite a lot anyway.
What the hell…who's going to be interested in a plastic cucumber protector after all?
Anyway, if you really want to succeed in the Dragon's Den and you're name isn't Levi Roots then here's the first six of a twelve point checklist to see you on your way: Read more »

Business Credibility: Achieving Great Things In StagesWritten by Steve Winduss on January 23, 2009 – 11:36 am -
Business Credibility: Achieving Great Things In Stages
"A thick tree grows from a tiny seed. A tall building arises from a mound of earth. A journey of a thousand miles starts with one step. Contriving, you are defeated; Grasping, you lose." – Laozi Ancient Chinese philosopher
So for Man City, the bubble has burst. For the time being at least. Ka Ka has turned down a £500,000 per week salary and Robinho has gone AWOL.
It has been mooted that Ka Ka turned the offer down on moral grounds but I have a sneaky feeling that he has more business sense than the whole Man City board put together.
Ka Ka realises that if a business (in this case a football club) aspires to great things it needs to map out the journey in believable bite sized chunks. It needs credibility. And business credibility needs to be earned and not bought.
Ask a horticulturist and they will tell you not to plant a seed in a pot that is to big. Better to replant it repeatedly into pots that are progressively bigger.
If you're launching a new small business into an already crowded market then aim to beat the competition in steps. Prioritise building business credibility. Find an energetic and competent intrapreneur to drive your business, but don't throw money at Stuart Rose (CEO at M&S) and expect him to either say yes or actually be a good fit anyway. He may be right for a few stages down the line but not now. Read more »

No one can baptize himself. Self-baptisms (also known as "auto-baptisms") are automatically invalid, and anyone who was initially baptized in this way would have to be baptized (unconditionally) by someone else (Denzinger 413 [DS 788]).
Another person must administer the sacrament to symbolize the fact that the person cannot reach up and bring down God's grace upon himself. God's grace must be given to a person; it cannot be taken from God.
However, for someone in a situation where no one is available or willing to baptize him, God will not hold that against him. He will count his desire for baptism in place of the baptism itself and give him the grace anyway. This is because God loves us and wants us to have his grace, even when the normal method of communicating it is unavailable.
Thus God wants the communication of his grace properly symbolized (in the normal rite by which it is communicated) but wants it to be communicated even when this symbolism is not possible (when the normal rite is not available). Thus the Council of Trent taught that "justification . . . cannot be effected except through the laver of regeneration or a desire for it" (Decree on Justification 4).

That is exactly the case at Christus Spohn Hospital in Beeville.
Daniel St. Armand spent 23 years in the U.S. Army Green Beret as a medic. He joined the local staff Feb. 24, and the 51-year-old hit the ground running, not unlike how he dove out of helicopters in Korea and Afghanistan.
In his first month, using his combat experience where seconds count, he has reorganized the sequence of events anyone faces when going to the hospital.
"It's called team triage. The usual sequence," he explains, "is the patient walks through the door, goes to registration, then to triage, next a bed in a room and only then sees a doctor. That process take from 18 to 30 minutes.
"Here at Christus Spohn, patients walk though the door, and the first person they see is a nurse or a physician's attendant. Next they are assigned a bed in a room and only then do they get registered. That whole process takes about seven minutes."
His combat experience, he says, "allows me to understand and control chaos."
His hazel eyes gaze out the window of his office, focusing on a desert past, to remember a frantic time in Afghanistan when a Canadian serviceman was flown by helicopter to his site.
"It was a 10-man medical team, as far forward as you could go," he recalls. "It was an operating room in a tent."
The man had suffered a bullet wound in his buttocks. The bullet had severed an artery.
"The man was bleeding to death internally," St. Armand explained.
On the operating table, doctors were having difficulty controlling the bleeding. The artery had been displaced into a difficult-to-reach place in the man's pelvis. St. Armand put out a call for blood donors.
In the next two-and-one-half hours, St. Armand organized and ran a blood-donating industry.
"We gave him 22 units of blood," he says. "I had donors lying on cots, I would draw blood, then take the units to surgery, then more people were lying on cots, more drawing blood, then I'd take the blood to surgery."
The team saved the man's life. He was stabilized and flown to a larger medical facility at a base in Kandahar. He never saw the man again.
Such incidents, St. Armand says, "allows me to put things into perspective. When we think we're limited on resources here, we're really not limited on resources, because I have been in situations where we truly had limited resources."
St. Armand has expanded the cross-training of nurses—"a common military concept" to allow patients to have instant care when they need it.
Members of a Green Beret team are trained to do the job of other team members, such as a medic also knowing how to operate communications equipment in the case the radioman is wounded or killed.
"We have to become jack of all trades and master of all," he says.
Knowing how to do more duties, he says, should be considered job security.
Although there is yet no monetary reward for cross training, he hopes to adopt a system he created while working in Vail where if a nurse learned the skills of two other disciplines, they got a raise.
"We want…" he pauses, "from whatever has happened in the past—I can't change what has happened in the past—my goal," he says, hammering his fingers on the edge of his desk for emphasis, "is to make this hospital the hub of health care in Beeville. We want patients to feel confident and comfortable, knowing that we have clinical expertise. We need to change the face of this hospital, one patient at a time."
He visits every patient in the hospital every morning.
One only can speculate whether being the chief nursing officer of a hospital in Beeville was what St. Armand had in mind after high school—he was born in Providence; his high school was a Jesuit-run Roman Catholic boys school in nearby Warwick—when he spent a year at the University of Rhode Island.
"I was tired of school," he says. "Also I was young and dumb and stupid."
He joined the Army, adding a fictitious two inches to his height to qualify.
In the next 23 years, he saw duty in Honduras, Korea, Kosovo and Afghanistan.
"Yeah, I've been shot at. It's always an interesting experience."
"Interesting" is wholly inadequate to explain what he experienced in the spring of 1985, during a night parachute drop along the DMZ dividing South and North Korea.
"By accident, the Air Force dropped us on the wrong side," he says. When he landed, his group, on a reconnaissance mission, found themselves 30 kilometers inside North Korea.
"Believe it or not, in special operations, land navigation is one of the best skills you learned. We radioed our base to let them know where we were so that when we crossed back into South Korea our own soldiers didn't shoot.
"We…commandeered…a vehicle to drive, very quickly, to the border. Hopefully, that vehicle got returned to its owner."
But like gravity, the Jesuit influence was always present, if sometimes unnoticed.
"All those years in special ops allowed me to be young and crazy and sow my oats. I'm not going to lie to you, my job was to…to kill people. But, finally, I decided I had a greater cause in my life."
He married Brigitta, from Germany, in 2005; the couple have three children.
"I had no reservations about taking this job," he says. "The fact that we are faith-based is something that I have missed.
"It's actually a true mission and a true calling at this hospital. We start every meeting, every single meeting, with a prayer. That brings you to understand what we truly are meant to be doing here. They don't do that in for-profit hospitals."
St. Armand's enthusiasm is infectious. Anyone planning to resist his changes at the hospital should take pause. If being a former special-ops Green Beret isn't intimidating enough, consider that he was able to attend high school only via a scholarship.

Gender Based Brain Research
A review of the current state of gender based brain research shows that women and men differ both in the way their brains are constructed and in how they function.
..correlation between brain region size in adults and sex steroid action in utero suggests that at least some sex differences in cognitive function do not result from cultural influences or the hormonal changes associated with puberty--they are there from birth.Treatment for such things as schizophrenia and depression will likely have gender specific variations in the future. Previously, brain research that examined gender differences was considered controversial because it was argued that the results might give rise to more sex discrimination against women. That view may be changing.

100 K Area Utilities Reroute
CX(s) Applied: B1.26
Date: 05/26/2010
Location(s): Richland, Washington
Office(s): Environmental Management, Office of River Protection-Richland Office
The Department of Energy, Richland Operations Office, needs to accelerate decommissioning and demolition (D&D) of the 100 K Area ancillary facilities, 100 K waste site remediation, and 105-K East and 105-K West reactor disposition. The proposed activities would provide for the isolation of 100 K area utilities to facilitate achieving cold and dark conditions for the facilities subject to D&D and remediation. The proposed activities would include the elimination of raw water withdrawals from the Columbia River by closing the 183-K East waste supply station and installing a temporary supply system to provide water and not interfere with D&D activities. Electrical systems would also be rerouted to facilitate the D&D of tunnels.

Comments: Good tennis shoes, but a little heavy.
From: Luis, 4/13
Comments: For 10 years I only bought Prince Viper IIs. I liked them because of the wide toe box. Then, Prince must
have changed construction of the shoes, because they caused my big right toe to crack, then they caused turf toe in my left big toe. I
threw them out and vowed never to buy Prince again. I went on a long search for another tennis shoe that had a wide enough toe
box for me. I don't have big feet. They are a 10.5 D. So far these adidas Response Comp 2s have been great. The toe box is fine.
They are a lot lighter than the Prince Viper IIs, and they breathe. Highly recommend them.

D.C .Teachers Learn from 'Teach the Beat'
2/21/2013, 2:47 p.m.
Nearly 100 music and social studies teachers recently had the opportunity to learn from leading luminaries and scholars from the go-go genre of music during the "Teach the Beat: Go-Go" seminar. The daylong event was held Feb. 16 at the D.C. Commission on the Arts and Humanities (DCCAH) in Southeast.
Renowned go-go teaching participants included Christopher "Geromino" Allen, Sugar Bear, JuJu, Sweet Cherie, JB, and several others.
"For D.C. to embrace go-go in a classroom is huge, because there was a time when go-go was looked down upon because of the violence," Nekos Brown, son of the late go-go legend Chuck Brown, said. "This is the highest honor."
After JB provided an introduction to the history and key aspects of go-go music, participants joined an interactive gallery walk that foucused on themes and issues in go-go. Music teachers rotated to three small workshop groups with the performers, and social studies teachers role played to introduce students to the artists and issues aligned with go-go.
They also heard from a panel facilitated by Kenneth Carroll on history, politics, economics and the media. In addition, many of the participants shared their own about go-go history and culture.
District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS) music and social studies curricula directors Ben Hall and Scott Abbot, who planned the seminar, recognized D.C. as one of the few cities in the country with musical and cultural institutions that span decades and generations.
They noted however, that go-go is not found in the District's history textbooks. Hall and Abbot also said that while the early days of go-go were nurtured in DCPS' music programs, instructors who were new to the school system often didn't' know how to play or teach the art form.
Hall and Abbott partnered with Charles Stephenson and Kip Lornell, authors of "The Beat," the first book on go-go, and the non-profit, "Teaching for Change," to develop a plan for professional and curriculum development and classroom coaching by performers.
While Hall and Abbott stressed DCPS' commitment to infuse go-go in music and social studies classes, Duane Arbogast, acting chief academic officer in Prince George's County, shared his interest in bringing "The Beat's" concept to the county's public schools.
The day culminated in a live go-go performance with all the musicians and attendees. This not only ended the day on high-spirits, with everyone swinging their hips and taking photos, it also gave those teachers who are new to DC, a first-hand understanding of the spirit of go-go.
"For me, this is like how we now have a Black president.,' Nekos Brown. "The program was put together so nicely and the idea of putting go-go in class is amazing. I don't think anybody imagined that happening."

Dear members,
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
ok, but ain`t madara a part of akatsuki ?
im confused...^_^
yes he is. he is the leader
HE is only gonna help out i think.That is if Pein meets ANY trouble
ok, I think konoha is ****ed....^_^
i loved the idea of the 8tails maybe meeting naruto during his travels with j-man that would be so cool. maybe they linked there chakra so when one of them in trouble the other would know:D. most likely not but i still sounds cool. kishi never leaves anything as it is he always creates a mystery now we have to know who brother he talking about
but the only way, naruto is goin to ever met the eight tail is if sasuke fails to get him
Hmmm..i wonder how he learnt to control it
and if naruto is ever going to be able to control him...
and another thing, what is madara and naruto meets, and madara does the same thing to naruto that sasuke does when naruto first meet him in shippuuden !!!
u know, when sasuke talks to the kyuubi inside naruto, haha madara can make naruto explode....hahaha lol
LOL..maybe if naruto learns it properly..nobody can come in to control the kyuubi

same about naruo and 8-tails.
i hope naruto learns to control the 9-tails so he can do that escape genjutsu thing
its nice to see a little sense knocked into sasuke. he keeps talking as if he was invincibe and it gets annoying. and sasukes speech to orochimaru during their fight were he says every genius in the shinobi universe passes as average to an uchiha really takes the mick because kakashi graduated quicker than itachi and itachi was considered the greatest uchiha apart from madara. and madara was always weaker than the first hokage. and seeing as the first hokage wasnt the greatest hokage i think sasukes speech was made of crap.
even rock lee beat sasuke. the fact is uchiiha are only as good as their eyes.
every fight they have they use that sharingan to give them the upper hand. if you ask me id say that is a weakness.
if you ask me naruto is considered einstein compared to sasuke the peasant. at least in the way of learning techs and working a stratagy.
hmmm coz there are smart people around naruto to teach him.Like Kakashi and jiraiya...Sasuke is smarter though i hate u admit..But naruto wil be better in the future
yep, I hope, that naruto would be much wiser and more like yondaime...
sure he will...He is the ONE who wil surpass him..
wow...can you guys imagine how naruto will be when he is grown up ( not a new jiraiya, only focusing on the naked girls in the hot springs...haha )
but more mature and how it will affect how hinata looks at him and stuff ^_^
What an aweful chapter. Starting to get very repetitive...I'm starting to get the vibe from his work he doesn't really want to do Naruto Manga anymore....but I do think its cool Sasuke is getting torn apart, but how LONG does Kishi need to draw out this fight??? I mean ya its cool theres some action, but its just the same thing over and over now. I wanna see naruto's training!
God said: let there be Kishi making Naruto and poof, there was Naruto ^_^
wel kishi has his good and bad days and franly the anime fillers SUCK ASSSSS there stupid and pathetic same shit everytime u talk about repeadative watch the anime god only knows how mnay times ive seen kage bunshin and rasengan
Originally Posted by KonohasRedFox69

so the 8 tails is and half ox half octopus.... makes perfect sense if u think about it we saw the "testicles" when we were 1st introduced to him and we were also told he had a tattoo of a symbol for a bulls horn on his left check ( kishi has an odd way of setting stuff up like this )
just some thoughts appreciate the feedback
I didn't see his testicles, I did see his tenticles.....LOL freaking hilarious.
Just had to point that out
im new here guys....and here are my thoughts about the 8tails.....i think if you are to control the beasts the jinchuriki must be stronger or as strong as the beast.....like in the DBZ u cnt fuse if ur poer level are not the same...and i think the beasts are wise and proud they will not listen to those who are weak than they are...so for naruto to control the 9tails he must become stronger than the 9tails......

A strong line of storms yesterday afternoon overturned vehicles at a campground and sent a cable onto Interstate 71 in Fayette County, closing the highway in both directions for two hours.
The storm passed through around 5 p.m. near milepost 69 and the Jeffersonville exit, the Fayette County sheriff's office said.
Traffic backed up for miles as crews cleared the cable from the highway.
Recreational vehicles at the nearby Walnut Lake campground were overturned in the storm, according to the National Weather Service office in Wilmington.
One man was taken from the campground to the Miami Valley Emergency Center in Jamestown, the Jefferson Township Fire Department reported.
The damage was likely caused by straight-line winds, a National Weather Service spokesman said.

Satellites crash into spacePosted by Cedric in communications, Nomad Tools, Telecommunications
In an unprecedented space collision, a commercial Iridium communications satellite and a defunct Russian satellite ran into each other Tuesday above northern Siberia, creating a cloud of wreckage, officials said today. The international space station does not appear to be threatened by the debris, they said, but it's not yet clear whether it poses a risk to any other military or civilian satellites.
"They collided at an altitude of 790 kilometers (491 miles) over northern Siberia Tuesday about noon Washington time," said Nicholas Johnson, NASA's chief scientist for orbital debris at the Johnson Space Center in Houston. "The U.S. space surveillance network detected a large number of debris from both objects."

Parents Sue School District for Anti-Semitism
NEW YORK — The parents of a 13-year-old boy are suing their Massachusetts school district for ignoring verbal and physical attacks on their son by other students for being Jewish.
Jennyfer Sordillo and Robert Groezinger filed the lawsuit late last month against the Carver public schools in U.S. District Court in Boston.
They claim their son was subjected to daily attacks by a group of boys at his school.
The abuse included religious slurs and Nazi salutes, having pennies thrown at him, and being punched and kicked.
The lawsuit,which was brought under the Massachusetts Anti-Bullying Law, claims the abuse has been occurring for two years and school officials "have done nothing to stop it," according to the Boston Globe.

BART Selects Parsons Transportation Team for Oakland Airport Connector
The elevated people mover will be built by Parsons/Flatiron with technology from Doppelmayr Cable Car, a Swiss/Austrian company known for manufacturing chair lifts and ropeways. The proposal would build a pinched-loop system, where all cars move together in a loop along elevated trussways instead of the taller guideways used in the San Francisco Airport extension and other airport people movers like Newark and John F. Kennedy Airports.
TransForm, a long-time opponent of the more expensive fixed-guideway OAC, will continue to protest spending so much money for a system that could cost double the current fare of $3 on the AirBART bus system. TransForm and other advocacy groups will be present at the meeting this morning to ask BART's board to reconsider a surface-level Bus Rapid Transit system, which they argue was never considered seriously alongside the current proposal.
BART spokesperson Linton Johnson said his agency had already considered a rapid-bus proposal similar to TransForm's: "A rapid bus proposal was studied as part of the environmental documents and did not meet all the needs of the community and the purpose of the proposal."
Johnson added, "TransForm's proposal keeps morphing. They make it up as they go along."
A number of other questions raised by advocates and by political leaders from Oakland remain unanswered, including whether or not BART will ever build intermediate stations. In the Parsons proposal, a Doolittle Maintenance and Storage Facility will be constructed at Hegenberger and Doolittle, with the expectation that the station could become a full station sometime in the future.
How much the fare will be for the new service (estimates are $5-6 each direction, though the board will ultimately decide that once the system is constructed) and whether BART will have to dip into core system revenue to maintain a lower fare, as advocates and Oakland political leaders demand.
BART is still seeking a $150 million TIFIA loan from Washington DC and will use the money to cover any cash flow issues, even though it will likely be significantly more than needed if construction costs remain as low as the bid price. It's still uncertain whether the balance of this money would be used for construction of the Doolittle Station or whether BART would return it to lower debt obligations.
Late Update: TransForm's John Knox White responded to BART's comments,
TransForm's position is the one thing in this process that has remained steady: BART needs to provide accurate information about a terribly slow project that is using massive amounts of public funding and possible alternatives. It should have been BART staff, not community advocates, who released key information about this project. Instead, we had seven months of spin from BART until the final minutes before the vote, when they corroborated our information regarding fares, ridership etc.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) – Richmond is establishing a day reporting center and taking other steps to reduce its jail population.
The Richmond Times-Dispatch (http://bit.ly/1cVBXar) reports that the day reporting center will serve as an incarceration alternative for people convicted of certain crimes who are deemed to be low-risk offenders. It's scheduled to open March 3.
Richmond officials also are trying to increase the city's use of electronic monitoring. City prosecutors are seeking fewer bonds in cases involving relatively minor charges.
The city has hired GEO Group Inc. to run the day reporting center.
In recent years, the city's typical daily jail population has been about 1,350 inmates.
The city's new jail will have a capacity of 1,032 beds. A formal opening will be held in the spring.

State Water Resources Research Institute Program
Project Id: 2010ME204B
Title: Permaculture Design Research Initiative
Project Type: Research
Start Date: 3/01/2010
End Date: 2/28/2011
Congressional District: Second
Focus Categories: Non Point Pollution, Water Quality, Ecology
Keywords: NPS pollution, water quality, agriculture, best management practices, constructed treatment wetlands, ecosystem, landscape ecology, stormwater runoff, water quality
Principal Investigators: Blais, Joline (Univ of Maine Orono); Smith, Owen
Federal Funds: $ 3710
Non-Federal Matching Funds: $ 4485
Abstract: Permaculture Design Research Initiative (PDRI)
The goal of PDRI is to create a low cost, community-based, educational model for transforming non-point source pollution from stormwater run-off into a value-added thriving ecosystem, filtering water and producing food for humans and wildlife. This model will take the form of a permaculture design document, including a landscape design drawing, a research report, and a guide for implementation. This will constitute phase one (research and design), of a two part process. Phase two will consist of the actual implementation of a restored ecosystem and will seek additional and appropriate grant funds.
For phase one, the PDRI permaculture design document will be produced by an interdisciplinary design team consisting of artists, designers, researchers and community members whose common goal will be to develop a LID that meets all of the Maine DEP guidelines for stormwater design and management. The initiative will take a core Permaculture design principle--"the problem is the solution"--and focus energy on transforming a current economic and ecological liability (stormwater run-off) into an educational and economic asset (collaborative ecological restoration and food production) and in the process--via online documentation, social networking, and artists engagement--raise public awareness of the effectiveness of collaborative and ecological designs and retrofits. By raising public awareness and seeking multidisciplinary input in the design phase, the project aims to broaden its vision as well as locate collaborators--artists, designers, researchers and community members--for the actual implementation in phase two. The online documentation/website will generate base for future funding of this project (and eventually other permaculture design solutions) as well as collecting feedback on Best Management Practices (BMPs) for transforming non-point source pollution from stormwater run-off into a value-added thriving ecosystems.

ABC Brighton
75-79 East Street,
No one has favorited this theater yet
The Savoy Cinema opened 1st August 1930 by Associated British Cinemas, and was designed in an Art Deco style by Wiliam R. Glen. It's interior had a Japanese theme and had 2,300 seats, increased to 2,630 seats in 1948. Unusually, the cinema had an underground car park with 300 places. Additionally, it had two restaurants, two cafes and, at one time, a dance hall. The cinema was re-named the ABC Cinema in 1963 and suffered various changes of name until it reverted to being the ABC Cinema in 1997. The cinema can be seen in some scenes of the film "Quadrophenia".
The cinema was closed in 1999 and was converted into a casino, restaurant, bars and, eventually, a night club which has ceased functioning. Only the Grosvenor Casino section was open in summer 2007. It uses the building's secondary entrance on the sea front located at 9 Grand Junction Road. By 2011, the main entrance on East Street and foyer was in use as a Chinese restaurant.

Here is a link to a photograph of the Savoy Cinema in 1930 and a potted history of the building:-
A shot as the Cannon Cinema here:–
Like the Forum in Liverpool, the initial designs for the Savoy and the Forum cinemas were by F C Mitchell who was Savoy Cinemas architect.
The exteriors of both cinemas are substantially as designed by Mitchell.
The Promenade facade of the Savoy is a twin of the curved corner of the Forum, as drawn by Mitchell on the first plans of the Forum.
I only remember this cinema when it was 3 screens, however, it was a good place to watch a film and always seemed to be busy. I understand that the owners found it hard to make it pay its way, but it was a loss to Brighton when it closed. We need another cinema and an operator should be found to re-open the East Street section of the building again as a cinema.
I worked from this cinema as a relief projectionist for the southern area of EMI, which meant I covered the ABC Hayward Heath, ABC Hove, ABC Brighton and Astoria Brighton as part of my job. The ABC Brighton was built with two projection boxes one on the roof but the rack was to great to be used and was never finished. The second was built into and under the circle.It was also planned to be a theatre but the stage was never finished as the Astoria was used as a theatre instead. It is also the only cinema I know of that had a car park under it.

|The President's Daily Diary: July 30, 1965
On the afternoon of July 30, 1965, President and Mrs. Johnson traveled to Independence, Missouri, for the signing of the Medicare Bill. At the Truman Library with former President Harry Truman at his side, President Johnson paid tribute to Truman saying "...it all started really with the man from Independence." The Medicare Bill established a medical care program for the aged under the Social Security System. In 1945 President Truman had proposed a comprehensive, prepaid medical insurance plan, but the plan was not enacted by Congress.

Fourth Shopping
Grocery Store: $79.41
Milk (grass-fed Jersey milk from our Amish neighbor – our first time trying it. I'll let you know how it is): $5.00
Toot Valley Farm Market: $15
Meat from freezer: $7
Total: $106.41
I didn't do so well this week. The honey ($5.50 from Toot Vally) really hurt, and I caved in and bought pudding for the kids ($1.00). I'm also trying a few new recipes, which meant strange ingredients, like phyllo dough. Plus I ran out of cumin last week, which I'll need for this week's green chili.
But more importantly is how did I get from First Shopping to Fourth Shopping?
Truth is I've been on this grocery budget for four weeks now. I kept thinking that I would delay my posts by a week or so, give myself time to revise, tighten, work on a more congenial and less authoritative tone (I really hate how self-assured I sound in first drafts. I know it's a compensation for insecurity).
But even more, it's against my nature to write something and pop it up for the world to see; except for book reviews, I don't think I've written anything decent that hasn't taken at least a year of drafts.
But the reality is this: I teach at a 2-year college, which means I have a heavy teaching load and bring a lot of work home. I adore spending time with my husband and kids. I'm bewitched by a Morgan horse that needs to be ridden at least twice a week. I love to garden and cook because they make me slow down, but they also let me take care of my family.
Writing doesn't fit. No, that's not right. I haven't made it fit. I haven't made the sacrifices I need to (read: sleep) to make writing happen.
So not only is this blog an adventure in (monetary) restraint, it's a leap of fear and necessity. I have to get my butt in the chair on a regular basis and make myself accountable for the writing – not just the grocery tally.
Okay, here goes. What happens if I take an hour to write a post, pop it up, and let it alone?
At least there's tomorrow.

There are two games left in the regular season, and already bowl officials are starting to make their presence felt around the country.
Numerous bowl officials have attended various Pac-12 games to get a good look at potential representatives from the Pac-12 for their respective bowls.
A lot of different scenarios are still in play, but these bowl projections are based on Oregon winning the Pac-12 and ending its season 13-0 prior to the bowls.

February 17 was a big day for my family this year. Not only was it my mom's birthday, but it also was the first time they came to visit Nashville. Ever! And while I've been wanting my parents to visit ever since I first moved last February, I'll be the first to admit that in the valley of a few weeks ago, it felt a little impossible. So I'm thankful to say that in fact, we had a busy four days, filled with many moments where I'd look at Tim and say, I'm not in pain!, amidst marathons of Downton Abbey, antiquing in Franklin, a visit to the gym and grabbing them Olive & Sinclair chocolate-dipped popsicles at Hot and Cold. It all started when they arrived early Friday morning, having braved a 6 AM flight to get here, and so we had a birthday breakfast waiting—and the star of that show was this quiche.
Here are the reasons I like this quiche: 1) You don't have to make a pie crust. It's not that I have anything against pie crust (especially not this foolproof one!); it's just that sometimes, say the weekend where you're already making two other pies, one pumpkin and one lemon meringue, you don't feel like another. And even sans crust, I love how this quiche holds together beautifully, firm and solid, like an egg bake.
2) It's a meal in itself. It's true this quiche was our breakfast, alongside sprouted cinnamon raisin English muffins and fruit, but it could just as easily be lunch or dinner, maybe with greens on the side.
3. It is the perfect blend of flavors. I hesitate to use the word perfect here, mostly because it feels a little pushy amidst a sea of competing opinions for the best this or the most delicious that, but I'm doing it anyway because, objectively, this quiche was so good, everyone had seconds, and the one small piece that was leftover after the five of us ate it was gone the next morning. And also, you know how sometimes you cook a new recipe and all you think is how it's missing something? This quiche was the exact opposite: it was precisely as it should be, from the dispersion of spinach and chard to the blend of three different cheeses.
But beyond that, perhaps the most convincing argument, if you want to know the truth, is that my mom, the birthday girl herself, has asked me for this quiche recipe three times, and something like that hasn't happened since the Great Pot Roast of 2010. After that kind of ringing endorsement, I don't know what else to say but that here, I bring you, Mom and everyone:
our new favorite crustless quiche!
