IBM Makes A Big Move On A Blue Ocean Opportunity
Jay Cutler Has A Reputation Equity Problem– And So Do We
Jay Cutler has a reputation equity problem–like, he has none. Because CBS cameras caught the Chicago Bears quarterback looking bored and disinterested during last Sunday's NFC Championship game, Cutler is now branded a "quitter" and a prima donna. How did it ever get this bad? And what can he do about it?
Why Content Strategy Is Now Business Strategy
Without strong, clear and authentic communications strategy businesses will founder in the new communications landscape. What we now call content strategy has to be elevated as a strategic planning practice across the enterprise as well as becoming a daily practice within and across all groups within the enterprise.
This is an accelerating movement caused by the fragmentation of traditional media and the explosion of social communications. This movement towards a central, powerful communications strategy is seen today in companies with strong CMOs like Barry Judge at Best Buy, Jon Iwata at IBM and John Hayes of American Express.
Intercomm: how internal + external communications integration will become the new frontier
Intercomm is the idea that internal, partner and marketing communications will need to be planned and executed in a totally integrated process. This post defines the idea and presents the reason why it will be the big interactive trend in 2011.

Just 14 seconds later, Hunter Pate is able to stuff it over the line to light the lamp. It was 1-1 after one.The Witches would improve to 2-0 tonight, as they beat John Bapst, 5-3 the final.

Surgical Plan - Does This Sound Normal?

It appears your surgeon is evaluating your entire nose and addressing multiple aspects which is a good sign. Make sure you see before and after pictures of noses similar to yours. Above all find someone who you trust and you feel understands your concerns. Good luck. vargasfaceandskin
Rhinoplasty plan
It is much more important what your surgeon CAN do, as opposed to what he wants to do. Yes it sounds reasonable, but there is no guarantee that he can deliver. Look at his work, and do your research. Also, hopefully you are able to trust your surgeon enough not to question his plan on the internet. If you don't trust him, move on to somebody who you can trust.
Good luck. It i shard to say what the appropriate treatment plan for you would be unless an exam is performed and your concerns are discussed. Everyone can say 2mms here or 2mms there, but it ultimately comes down to your aesthetic eye as a surgeon.

The New York Jets have been searching far and wide for an explosive force on special teams and they may have found their missing ingredient in kick return extraordinaire Josh Cribbs. The former Cleveland Brown was released this past March and drew interest from several teams including the Jets who worked him out earlier this season. The 30-year-old had the partially torn meniscus in his knee repaired this summer and Gang Green waited until the three-time Pro Bowler was completely healthy to officially sign him.
The Jets are in dire need of returner to replace Clyde Gates and Mike Goodson who were both placed on season-ending injured reserving following the team's Week 6 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
In just his first week with the team, Cribbs is chomping at the bit to make a splash in the Big Apple.
"I think that's one of the big reasons why they brought me in, to make a run for it," he said. "I can be a little lightning in here. ... I'm going to try to electrify this team and add that oomph, that 'it' factor."
The Jets currently rank No.26 in the NFL in field position and now with Cribbs in the fold they're hoping he can provide a shot in the arm to an otherwise pedestrian special teams return unit.
"That's one thing, and I've picked up some weight through the years, muscle-muscle mass," admitted Cribbs. "So, if somebody's fast enough to catch up to me, they're not going to be strong enough to bring me down. That's kind of been my motto. I'm going to run through a kicker. I'm going to run through tackles, arm tackles. You have to put a body on me to bring me down."
Cribbs is tied with former Jet and current New England Patriots running back Leon Washington with eight career kickoff returns for touchdowns. During his time in Cleveland, Cribbs was both a Jet and Patriot Killer and Rex Ryan admitted "We've all been scorched by him in the past."
As New York's pivotal divisional matchup with New England draws near, Cribbs couldn't be more elated to be a part of this fierce AFC East rivalry.
I'll be ready to chase some balls, and if they say, "Hey, he doesn't have it anymore," I have to show them," declared Cribbs. "I want them to kick it out of bounds or try me."
"But I know Bill (Belichick), I know he's seen me play a lot. They'll be ready and I'll be too."

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
A month and a half into the season, things are still volatile. Atlanta is making a comeback. Texas is slipping. Several new teams are poking around the Wildcard races. In fact, except for Houston, every team in the AL is within four games of a Wildcard spot, if not there or better. Except for the Cubs and Diamondbacks, the NL is quite similar. So much is going on, so let's look at what would happen if the playoffs started as of Monday, May 12, before the day's games:
The Brewers picked off two games against the Yankees, but it hasn't been easy for them otherwise, and they still have the Giants breathing down their necks. Plus, with Ryan Braun (and now Aramis Ramirez) on the DL, the Brewers have some health concerns which could cost them, even with their pitching.
The Braves have won three straight to recover some ground, but beating the Cubs these days isn't exactly newsworthy. The Giants still have the advantage here.
Miami has lost three in a row, but is still good enough for the second Wildcard. In addition, Giancarlo Stanton has provided much of the kick for the Marlins team; if the Rockies can shut him down (through intentional walks if need be), they'll have a great chance.
Detroit is five games ahead of their nearest competition in the division, though Oakland is still pretty close. Every other team in the AL Central is below .500, which if nothing else will help Detroit boost their record and make sure everyone's good to go for the playoffs. With Verlander, Scherzer, Cabrera, Kinsler, Martinez, Nathan and others to combat a Wildcard team weakened by a sudden death game, things look good for Detroit.
The Athletics have won four straight, including a sweep of Washington, which is a good sign. However, they were just 1-5 before that. The Orioles just lost a five-game winning streak, and like Oakland, thrive on a formula of minimal stars and consistent play. This will be a great match, and since Chris Davis just returned from the DL, if he returns to last season's form, or even a fraction of it, that could tip the scales in Baltimore's favor.
New York has lost two straight while the Angels have won three straight, but the Yankees did take two of three in Anaheim to begin the week (as they did in New York in April). The Angels are still stacked, however, and health has been an issue for the Yankees all season. Facing down Jered Weaver (not to mention Mike Trout and Albert Pujols, et al), the Yankees will need to keep everyone on the field (and if they advance, will need to keep Michael Pineda out of trouble).

Westfields Sports
First In Australia
Fun times:
Cultural teacher Daniela Zanet (center) with students from Westfields Sports (left to right) Lorraine B, 16, Jancy T, 17, Stephen D, 17, Linh L, 17, and Bem V, 16. They all got to travel on a train at 280 kmh. Picture:
Helen Nezdropa
"Students as fast as a speeding bullet"
Anita Magilcic
HIGH fashion, meditation with a monk, taking shoes off before entering school and heated toilet seats were some of the culture shocks Westfields Sports students received when they visited Japan.
And they loved every minute of it.
Six HSC students who study Japanese language and culture went with the school's junior baseball players to Asia for the 11-day tour in the school holidays.
They were hosted by three Japanese high schools, and had the chance to visit Tokyo Disneyland, Mount Fuji and several temples and shrines.
Cultural student Linh Le, 17, said she was already saving up to travel there again.
As the students stayed with families during the trip, she said she felt Japan
to be her second home.
"It's definitely the best experience I've
ever had and I want to go back," she said.
Like her classmates, she fondly remembers when the students participated in a Zaren meditation session with a monk.
It was memorable even though they said their legs were in pain from sitting crossed legged with soles of their feet entwined for up to 15 minutes.
Cultural teacher and chaperone, Daniela Zanet, said she was impressed with the degree of interaction and conversational skills the students used.
"They were all nervous to begin with but after they got comfortable and used different vocabulary, they used a lot of the language," she said.
"It was different from learning out of the textbook."
But the students grasped more than just the language.
When they were hosted by high schools, Kasukabe Kyoei High School, Musashi Ogase Senior High School and Kyoto Gakuen, they experienced traditional customs including bowing to greet teachers and taking shoes off as a sign of respect.
The students said their lives were very different from that of teenagers in Japan.
"They finish school at 3pm but do club activities like volleyball until 6pm," said one student.
"And it's not like they watch telly and have dinner. It's really family orientated, as after school they spend time with their family."

Tampa Bay's Win Streak Ends At Disney
by Steve Carney
Follow @stevecarney
Chris Archer put together another performance, but a pair of minor-league pitcher allowed five late runs, as Tampa Bay's three-game winning streak came to an end inside the Walt Disney World complex with a 6-1 loss to the Atlanta Braves Friday.
Tampa Bay took the lead in the top of the third inning as Jose Molina singled to start the frame, then stole second base, moved to third on a groundout by Cole Figueroa, and scored on an RBI single by Rey Olmedo.
Archer would take that lead into the fifth, but could not get through the inning with the lead, as Jason Heyward's two-out single scored Jordan Schafer with the tying run.
Joey Terdoslavich broke the tie an inning later, homering off Steve Geltz to make it 2-1.
Atlanta put the game out of reach in the eighth, as Sam Runion gave up a two-run single to Terdoslavich and a two-run homer to Ernesto Mejia to ice it.
The Rays will have their only split-squad games of the year Saturday, as half of the team, led by manager Joe Maddon, will welcome the Toronto Blue Jays to Port Charlotte, while the other half, with bench coach Dave Martinez at the helm, will travel to Bradenton to take on the Pittsburgh Pirates. Both games start at 1:05.

Red Bing Cherries
Bing cherries have become the most popular of North American cherries, surpassing every other style. These Bing Cherries are firm and juicy with a deep mahogany red when ripe. They are nutritious and a good source of potassium and Vitamin C. It's a good idea to keep fully ripe Bing Cherries in the fridge, especially during Hawaii's hot summer months. Many people prefer to eat them straight out of the hand but they are also great for making cherry jam and preserves, cherry pies or cherry jubilee.
Ever thought about canning or bottling your own cherries? Here is information on how:
- You will need approximately 2 to 2- ½ lbs. of cherries for each quart of fruit you desire to can.
- Wash and stem cherries. Remove pits if desired or can with pits in.
- Cherries may be canned in hot water, sugar syrup or juice such as apple or white grape.
- Pack cherries tightly in sterilized jars to a ½" from top. Add hot liquid to jar leaving a ½" headspace.
- Remove air bubbles with a plastic knife, wipe rim with clean cloth and adjust the lid.
- Process in a boiling water canner or water bath–pints and quarts for approximately 25 minutes.
- Label jars with a pack date once they have completely cooked.
Be sure to pickup your Red Bing Cherries at any Foodland, Sack N Save or Foodland Farms store.

Envy Apples available now at Foodland!
We're working with farmers who think the same way we do here at Foodland - that taste is number one.

So the fruit that you'll find in our stores this summer will be the sweetest fruit available anywhere. The sweetest apples, cherries, berries, melons, peaches, pineapples, and a whole lot more that your family will ... more »

My parents did not let us watch any television or listen to any radio as children. No Sesame Street, Mr. Rodgers, hell, not even Bob Ross' Joy of Painting. I still don't get any Muppets reference. I know, indefensible. We were the unfortunate family with just snowy basic channels. Instead, we could watch one musical a week; The King and I, West Side Story, in addition to the live musicals on the weekends. The rest of our time at home was spent reading or learning chess. We got a computer in the mid '90s, but the internet use was limited to typing programs for the typing class I was taking at Belmont Hill. My dad's exact words were, "The internet will never take off." I said the exact same thing about Britney Spears. The lack of prescience doesn't fall far from the tree.
This is no way to raise a well-integrated and social child. I still shutter at the memory of my neighbor driving a 12-year-old me and my brother in a carpool. All five other kids sang along to 'The Time of my Life' (I had to look up the title just now) blasting from the radio speakers in the back seat of the Volvo. When I didn't sing along, the mother looked at me through the rearview mirror and asked me if I knew the words. Knew the words? I hadn't heard of Dirty Dancing (in the '90s!!) nevermind the song. Everyone had a good laugh, then the mother asked me what I was listening to at home and I said outloud: A Chorus Line. Instead of laughter, my peers were silent. Nobody knew what that was. At that moment, I realized musicals were my pop-culture references (I wouldn't know what MTV was until I was 15, deprivation at its worst). It was official, I had no chance. My socially awkward fate was sealed.
My years throughout middle school and high school were chock full of morning and evening swim practices and musical theater rehearsals, so I didn't realize all the precious time I was wasting away. It wasn't until I was 21 and had my first apartment (and remote control) alone, that I realized all the culture I had missed out on. I was nannying during college and discovered the morning news and talk shows. I grew to have a routine of coffee and Regis and Kelly, then after college classes in the evening, I would race back to my apartment to catch The Osbournes, The Real World and Scrubs. I set a VCR manually if I was not going to be home. I was dedicated to my art (if you still set up a VCR to record, come here. I have a Nobel Prize in Patience for you). If we are going to be completely honest, I spent more time in front of my TV than socializing with 3D humans. It is because of my upbringing that I will never be in a room without that HD marvel within eye shot. I cannot be alone in my apartment without the friendly chatter of my bestie in the background, but I also have never suffered from ennui.

London is one of, if not the most important, of the world's financial centres. Focused on the UK market but with up to 20% invested in overseas stock markets, this investment trust looks for stocks that are undervalued by the market and whose growth potential isn't yet appreciated by other investors. By understanding the downside and identifying the potential for change it allows the trust to invest in unloved stocks with potential for positive change. These 80-120 stocks held in the portfolio provide the trust with diversification and liquidity.
Alex Wright's, the portfolio manager, investment approach lies on two key elements:
Look for companies where there's limited downside risk. In other words, invest in companies that have exceptionally cheap valuations or some kind of asset that should stop their share prices falling below a certain level. This can be anything from inventory to intellectual property.
Look for events that could significantly improve a company's earning power, but aren't currently reflected in the company's share price. These could include changes in the company's competitors or market, a new product line or an expansion into new business areas.
Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. Fidelity does not give advice. If you're unsure of the suitability of an investment for you, you should speak to an authorised financial adviser.
The value of investments can go down as well as up so investors may get back less than they invest. Overseas investments are subject to currency fluctuations. This investment trust can gear through the use of bank loans or overdrafts and this can be achieved through the use of derivatives. Their use may lead to higher volatility in the Net Asset Value and Share Price. This investment trust may invest more heavily than others in smaller companies, which can carry a higher risk because their share prices may be more volatile than those of larger companies.

Montee Ball continued his dominant play and set the conference record for touchdowns in a season. He is now 12 behind Barry Sanders' NCCA record of 39. (AP Photo/Paul Battaglia)
Russell Wilson completed 16 of 17 passes for 178 yards and four touchdowns to lead Wisconsin past Minnesota, 42-13. The victory was never in doubt, as the Gophers managed just 156 yards of offense compared to the Badgers' 461. Montee Ball had a momentous game, setting the single season touchdown record in the Big Ten with 27. On Saturday, Ball rushed for 166 yards and two touchdowns on 23 attempts and also caught a five-yard touchdown pass to start off the scoring.
Nick Toon returned to his playmaking ways and caught eight passes for 100 yards and two touchdowns. Jared Abbrederis was injured during the game but it's unclear how serious the injury is. If he's out for any amount of time, Toon will have to keep up this production and Wisconsin may have to rely on tight ends more often.
The special teams played poorly once again and gave up all 13 points. Minnesota scored in the second quarter on a fake field goal, which the kicker ran in for a touchdown. Ironically, he missed the extra point attempt so I guess the Badgers special teams did their job if only for a moment. They also allowed a 96-yard kick return for touchdown coming out of halftime. The special teams have become a true weakness for the Badgers and something clearly needs to change.
The easy victory over the Gophers was expected, but Saturday improved Wisconsin's standing in the Big Ten race because of some unexpected losses. Ohio State fell to Purdue in overtime, 26-23. That gives the Buckeyes three conferences losses and two tough games remaining against Penn State and Michigan. Nebraska ended Penn State's flawless conference record with a 17-14 victory. That outcome wasn't entirely surprising considering the circumstances surrounding Penn State, but the loss means Wisconsin just has to win its last two games (@Illinois, vs Penn State) to win the Leaders division.

High school students compete in Special Olympics "Bocce Bonanza"
ARCATA – "You get this ball. It's like bowling. But there's no holes. So you just hold it, and there's a little ball at the far end and you try to hit it," Mark Salamunovich, an Arcata high school student, explained.
Wednesday was the third annual Special Olympics Bocce Ball Tournament held at Larson Park in Arcata. Students from all over the North Coast showed up, in uniform, to compete.
"This is a great opportunity for kids and athletes of all levels be able to compete and have fun in a healthy competition. Today it's bocce. Another day it might be soccer. But today it's bocce and everybody's got their bocce game face on," Mark Wheetley, Mayor of Arcata, said.
More than 50 students competed in the day's events. Each team played at least two bocce games and medals were given at an awards ceremony in the afternoon.
"This gives them a sense of worth. Being with the other kids and they're not isolated from everybody else. They play a game just like all the other students," Roy Debrichy, an Arcata High aid, said.
The Bocce Bonanza is a collaborative effort with Northern California's Special Olympics and Humboldt State University.
The class that hosts the event is part of HSU's "Recreation Administration" major aimed at teaching programming skills and giving back to the community.
"Everybody needs recognition and this is something that they get. They get recognition for what they do and they all get to gain confidence and play with each other and learn how to communicate and everything," Rocky Brown, a basketball player for HSU, said.
And though the high school students may have been the focus of the games, anyone involved got something out of the day.
"Another important part of it is for all of the people who are participating and supporting the program who don't have disabilities or don't experience a world with disabilities, to understand that we're more alike than we are different. And so to break down those barriers and to create a more inclusive community," Jayne McGuire, associate professor of Recreation Administration at HSU, said.

The hat fits well and does not ride up on my head like most hats in this genre.
Best Uses
Comments about Outdoor Research Peruvian Hat:
This is a great hat. Its is extremely windproof and lightweight. I wear a size larger and use it has a "head shell." Normally while winter hiking I use a light beanie or earwarmer to prevent overheating, and I can slide this right over for extra protection. Picture doesn't show drawstring and lock, but it is there and works well to keep it tight to face. I also use it to secure flaps up when not needed.
Best Uses
Comments about Outdoor Research Peruvian Hat:
A nice hat for winter outside. The Windstopper material is warm and amazingly effective at blocking wind penetration. The cut of the hat give good coverage to the head, ears, and back of the neck. Your head stays warm in this hat. The cord and cordlock allow adjustment for keeping in warmth or dumping some as needed.
Best Uses
Comments about Outdoor Research Peruvian Hat:
I've been wearing this hat for years underneath my climbing helmet. The windstopper fabric is wonderful and warm and the lack of bulkiness will help you avoid over heating while climbing. Great buy.
Best Uses
Comments about Outdoor Research Peruvian Hat:
This hat is very light, yet very warm. Obviously the key is keeping the wind out and this hat does just that. I took the boys for a day of sledding recently, was about 20 degrees with a 10mph wind and me and my son needed nothing but these hats to stay warm all evening. OR hit a home run here, comfy light warm, can't ask for much more.

Comments about Outdoor Research Peruvian Hat:
A great hat. I have owned another Outdoor Research hat, the Wind Warrior, for over a decade. However, my new Peruvian hat is even better than my old hat as it completely covers my ears, is much lighter, yet is very warm and windproof. I've worn it snow blowing, hiking, logging, snow shoeing, and shopping in town. It worked great no matter what I was doing.
Best Uses
Comments about Outdoor Research Peruvian Hat:
I power walk and run outdoors during cold months as well as snowshoe in our nearby National Park here in northern Michigan. This hat keeps the Lake Michigan winds out, keeps my ears covered and warm, and retains just enough heat to keep my head warm without sweating. Eureka! The perfect hat for outdoor aerobic activities during Winter. I'm now getting myself another one in a different color, and one for my husband.

Public input invited on Camp Ripley/Veterans State Trail planning process
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) invites anyone interested in the proposed Camp Ripley/Veterans State Trail to attend a trail planning open house on Thursday, March 22, from 6-8 p.m. at Baxter City Hall, 13190 Memorywood Drive, Baxter, MN.
The Camp Ripley/Veterans State Trail was legislatively authorized in 2009 to connect the Paul Bunyan State Trail in Crow Wing State Park to the Soo Line Regional Trail and the cities of Pillager, Fort Ripley and Little Falls.
The DNR is partnering with Morrison, Crow Wing and Cass counties, the Region 5 Development Commission, Mn/DOT and the local communities on a corridor study for this multi-use trail. The corridor study will be integrated into DNR's Master Plan, which is a required component for any state trail.
The project team has developed several potential trail alignment options for consideration. All alignment options, for both motorized and nonmotorized use, will be available for public review and comment. Trail alignment options are only search corridors at this point. A specific route for the trail has not yet been determined, and no segments are yet in state ownership, other than existing parks and preserves. The master plan must be completed and approved before any funds can be used for trail construction.
DNR planners and regional staff, project consultants and members of the project steering committee will be available to discuss the project. This is the second of three open houses to be held for the study. The draft master plan will be presented at a third open house to be held in late spring.
For more information, visit www.crvtrail.com or contact:
Laurie Young, DNR parks and trails planner, 651-259-5638.

Built-in support for more Emoji
Emoji are a bit weird, at first glance. Then you get a few emoji texts from a friend, or you see them on a forum or chat client, and you start to see the value of expressing "fire," "person with blonde hair," and "face with look of triumph" in your mobile communications. Apple's iOS devices support many pages' worth of emoji. Android, just recently, in newer versions, only supports a very small handful of emoji. When your iOS friend tries to message you with emoji, it looks like the image at the top of this post.
This isn't just Android and Google that need to get their emoji game tight. Apple's devices don't use the same shortcodes and conventions that many web tools utilize, and vice-versa. It would be hard to codify emoji, as they are naturally silly, fun, and resistant to ranking and categorization. But it would be really nice.

I have a confession to make: I'm addicted to TV. Whew. Yes, I am and I know it's been brewing for a while, but it's become all the more clearer this month. The last half of February and these early weeks of March found your dear, sweet author suffering from a horrendous chest cold, followed by a back spasm. I know. It was a painful time and I still have an annoying residual cough. So, what did I turn to while I was willing my body to heal? None other than Netflix, who may or may not be my significant other, considering the amount of time we've been spending together.
So, not only am I addicted to TV – I know so many of us are – but I'm addicted to all-at-once, on demand, viewing. I am a binge watcher. I blew through House of Cards in less than a week once I really sat down and got into it. Then over this past week, I watched three whole seasons of another show that will remain nameless to avoid embarrassment. THREE SEASONS! Granted, the first was only 13 episodes…but…. Even I'm impressed. Back when I was in school, I devoured all seven seasons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer in record time – something like 3 months – all while juggling a heavy course load (we did happen to have an inordinate amount of snow days during the semester, and I did only have classes on 2. 1/2 days a week, but impressive nonetheless).
The same can be said for the way my roommate and I blew through three seasons of Dexter on demand in the two weeks before the fourth premiered, or the way I hungrily caught up on five seasons of Weeds (before it got too weird) during the summer I spent in Boston catching up on credits at school. And then there's the epic viewing of Game of Thrones that occurred last March. Seasons 1 and half of 2 were no match for my viewing skills. Oh, and have I mentioned Downton Abbey yet? Because, the Crawleys and I were the best of friends when I caught season 1 on Netflix, then was lucky enough to catch a marathon of the season 2 episodes that had aired so far the next weekend, bringing me up to speed to being regular, weekly, viewing.
I might be making it sound like I have 1- no life and 2- do nothing but watch TV, but that is hardly the case. Not only am I spending my days interning, I also have time for the gym (when I'm not sick on the couch), dinner outings with friends, weekend shopping activities…I have a life, I just also have a love affair with episodic TV. I mean, come on, even Portlandia picked up on it – check it out for yourself (Portlandia also happens to be a show I watched all at once….)

Russell - thank you. At last someone gets it. You can call it whatever you want and price it however you want
It just happens to have originated from the microstock forum* because that is where Leo was at the time, so a lot of the original terminology started from that as well but it is evolving, if you have a FAA site you can link to that and quite a few people do. If you don't want to actually licence images via your Symbiostock you can easily link back to here or whereever - which is somewhat of a waste but possible.
If any of you are developers you are very welcome to create a RM plug in, I know more than one of us would be happy to use it
Look past the terminolgy on the front page - visit Semmick and my sites and have a look around, follow the links to thers and see what they are doing. If you wanted you could create a totally separate network purely for RM with higher prices and more restrictive licences

Nearly half of French university students fail to complete their first year of studies successfully and about 90,000 leave every year without a qualification.
In one of the world�s more unusual job switches, New Zealand Education Minister and architect of the country's tertiary education reforms, Steve Maharey, will quit parliament to become vice-chancellor of the country�s second-largest university.
Lord Triesman, a former Communist, student activist and union leader, has been appointed Britain�s first Minister for Students.
Carpenters and car mechanics may seem to double their fees every second year but according to the American College Board it still pays to take a university degree
European and Asian researchers have linked more than 40,000 computers across 45 countries to speed studies into developing an anti-viral drug that could defeat bird flu.
For an island of less than a million people Cyprus is well served with universities. It has nine of them, to be precise.
The academic world is becoming a smaller place, with ever increasing numbers of students studying overseas and staff collaborating across continents. OECD official Andreas Schleicher talks to Brendan O'Malley about why some countries have turned higher education into a leading export industry and others struggle to compete.
Having a high level of education seems to delay the onset of dementia � but once cognitive decline begins, the descent is more precipitous, according to US News and World Report.
Today's students do not want to "go down in history as the first generation of modern Europe that can expect to 'benefit' from fewer opportunities than the previous one," Bert Vandenkendelaere, chair of the European Students' Union, told the OECD higher education conference in Paris. Threatened by significant age wage gaps, high dropout rates, rampant graduate unemployment and limited support in starting a home or family, students fear their future may be bleaker than that of their parents.
Innovative solutions are required to mitigate the budget cuts brought on by the current financial crisis, but innovation is not always synonymous with hi-tech, speakers told the OECD's 2010 higher education conference in Paris last month. The need to redress the bias of research to the detriment of teaching was a recurring theme, as was a call for greater social responsibility in producing well-informed, responsible citizens.
Shrinking state budgets and financial shortfalls linked to the global recession are forcing universities to devise new means of raising revenue, notably through increased interaction with the private sector, according to participants at last month's OECD higher education conference in Paris.
When you meet California State University Chancellor Charles B Reed for the first time, you think you've met him before. It takes a few minutes to realise that Reed bears a striking resemblance to English actor Bob Hoskins. He has the same round appearance, direct gaze and pugilistic stance, as if he's ready to do battle. And it has been a battle over the past two years, as Reed has slashed costs at the university and deflected criticism and outcry as he tried to absorb a US$600 million blow in the form of state budget cuts.
A senior manager with the London-based strategy and insight consultancy SHM has suggested that universities and other higher education institutions be run like supermarkets. Paul Gillooly presented this provocative idea to an incredulous group of government officials and university leaders at the OECD's Institutional Management in Higher Education general conference in Paris in September.
Universities in Iceland and Ireland expanded dramatically during the 1990s boom, in part to promote regional development and absorb more students. But when the economic bubble burst, experts recommended a reduction in the overall number of institutions through painful mergers, as Denmark had already done.
"I'm not saying things were better under the Soviet Union, but there is definitely a problem with access to higher education in Russia," Tatiana Gounko, assistant professor at the University of Victoria in Canada, said at the OECD's Institutional Management in Higher Education conference held in Paris in September.
Small island states, which are increasingly vulnerable to global problems, need to have their universities play a stronger role in national development. "A small island nation has limited tools for driving its own development," said Janyne Hodder, former president of the College of the Bahamas and an administrative board member of the International Association of Universities, at the OECD's 2010 higher education conference, Higher Education in a World Changed Utterly: Doing more with less.
Israel may have transformed itself over the past decade into one of the world's vibrant economies, but innovation training is nonetheless sorely lacking in the nation's universities, according to Dr Milly Perry, director of the research authority at the Open University of Israel and CEO of OPMOP Ltd Technology Transfer Company.
Private spending on university education in Japan is high at 67.5%, according to a recent report released by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development on public education investment in 28 member states. The OECD's Education at a Glance 2010 report indicated that the average for all nations was 30.9%, illustrating that in Japan private spending on higher education plays a vital role in supplementing low public funding.
As universities face increasing budget cuts and see their ivory-tower image attacked, many now espouse increased involvement in community and global issues. But although this 'social engagement' drive has numerous supporters, others wonder at the cost and the long-term impact on universities, especially in the area of research.
Against the background of the most synchronised recession in developed countries in over half a century, the OECD's Institutional Management in Higher Education 2010 general conference focused on how the higher education sector - governments, institutions and individuals - can help contribute to sustainable recovery. Capitalising on the OECD's respected evidence base and drawing on analyses and opinions from some of the world's leading experts, the conference tried to identify ways to achieve higher quality outcomes at a time of increased demand and fewer resources, and examined innovative approaches to meeting the challenges of equity and efficiency.
Never before have universities faced such remarkable challenges to their fundamental values, said Professor Malcolm Grant, President and Provost of University College London, at the OECD higher education conference last month. During this time of austerity universities must continue to hold true to their values and take a long-term view, positioning themselves for 10 years' time "against the short-term turbulence of immediate change".
The mood at the 2010 OECD higher education conference was more self-critical than complaining, according to Richard Yelland, head of the education management and infrastructure division in the organisation's education directorate. "Notwithstanding their good intentions, institutions and systems are not fulfilling their social responsibilities - to nurture research which will address pressing global issues, and equitable access to teaching which is relevant to the labour market and to society," he told University World News.
Many of the solutions proposed by participants in the OECD's Institutional Management in Higher Education conference were short term, palliative measures when the deepest crisis in higher education funding since the Second World War means the sector is in need of a kind of Marshall Plan to save it.
A dearth in leadership in higher education in South Africa � and the world � can be attributed to gendered institutional cultures that �prevent us from seeing the leadership potential that exists in half the population, our women�. So said Dr Mamphela Ramphele, author, business women, former vice-chancellor of the University of Cape Town and an ex-managing director of the World Bank at an �Institutional cultures and higher education leadership: Where are the women?� conference held in Cape Town. Although more than half of university students and staff in South Africa are women, only three of 23 universities are led by women who comprise just 17% of deputy vice-chancellors and 21% of deans.
The Catholic Church of Nigeria and the National Universities Commission are at loggerheads over the legal and academic status of seminaries and institutions affiliated to Nigerian universities. The disagreements have led to both sides placing advertisements in newspapers over the past two years, to try to win over public sympathy for their differing interpretations of the law and historical events on complex issues. These include affiliation approvals, quality assurance and the level of government intervention in courses offered by the country�s 93 public and private universities.

The Morning Ledger: Fed Mulls Opening the Taps Once More
Huge expectations for the Federal Reserve to say something today that indicates a willingness to intervene again on the economy, whether QE3 or a rejiggering of its Operation Twist. Investors have pared back their expectations a bit since Greece failed to destroy Europe over the weekend. But the Greek drama isn't over and market conditions on both sides of the Atlantic are worsening.

A shower is great for coming up with ideas because it's essentially a sensory deprivation chamber in your very own home. Lots of white noise from the water, coupled with all white walls and obscured glass means there are no auditory or visual outside distractions to hinder thinking.
23 Comments
Fully agree. Jogging (without music) also does the trick for me.
i call it me time. can't hear anything but my own thoughts, it's amazing.
I had something witty and halfway smart to say before i signed in. Now i want a sensory deprivation chamber. Or at least a shower 😛 have a nice day.
my shower was built in the 1970s, it has blue and pink tiles. I usually spend as little time in there as possible.
Hard to keep a whiteboard in there, though…
Just had a shower and came up with what to have for dinner while in there! lol
Is there an app for that?
Awesome! Now if i can shower longer without wasting water… living in California water is precious!
Though they lack the timer of pruning skin, I've found that a pair of cheap 30 NRR earplugs (available at any drugstore) can work deprivative wonders.
I had never thought about it that way, but I noticed I started being much more productive when I started wearing my heavy padded headphones and listening to techno. Shower thinking ftw though.
The shower is #1. Next is when I'm driving. Neither one is conducive to writing those ideas down!
seconding wowlibrarian – shower, then driving.
Driving without the radio on… talking to yourself.
You might look nuts but it really helps to clarify things.
What about sitting on the toilet? I don't know if it's just that I'm relaxed or what, but the shower and the toilet are big-time idea centers. Or maybe my bathroom is magic.
Interesting. I *never* come up with ideas in the shower. But my shower has a window that opens and looks out at downtown San Francisco
Aw, c'mon, you should have come up with an idea to solve the homeless problem with that view by now.
Showers are a great place to brainstorm. I have to get some waterproof device to dictate them BEFORE I step out. Another good spot for me is mowing the lawn…
No doubt about it…the shower is the best place for inspiration and great ideas. After losing a number of break-through ideas due to memory loss between the shower and my desk, we invented a waterproof notepad to write on in the shower. Check it out at http://www.myaquanotes.com
You're surrounded by whiteboard in there… unless you have a curtain I suppose. Get some kids bathtub paint or crayons and take notes to your heart's content.
I've decided to only attend meetings via FaceTime in the shower. I've put on a special water-resistant bumper and enabled my clothes-on in home office filter. My productivity has increased 84% and my coworkers now think I'm a genius.
not if your shower don't have running water LOL! I get to think the best when i'm relaxed and walking – with music on.
"Aw, c'mon, you should have come up with an idea to solve the homeless problem with that view by now."
Hm….. Homeless problem… ze showers… I beleef you are on to something mein freund!
Try a diver's slate. They're inexpensive and reusable.

Hey guys... I got a big favor from my brother. He needs a computer that doesn't go over 250 ish.. less money, the better... He's going to buy the computer and take it to college... so... please... if you have the time, help... i've been looking up computers too.. Also, if you guys can find good deals, that'll be awsome... don't you guys think that computers are getting so much cheaper? So mabey it'll be easier to find a good one... thank you for your time and I'll be greatly thankful for your help!
How-To Geek Forums / Geek Stuff
Computer that cost about 199-200? or lower?(8 posts)
Your best bet is to look up some used computers... ebay, craigslist, people you know.
A new computer under £250 is still not going to be very good, even thought prices HAVE lowered
what is this computer going to be used for?
just work?
if I were you follow Geeks advice and use ebay or similar
word of warning
is it is vista
you NEED 1gb + RAM, 2gb is better
Used is your only option. And as I know you Chris, you want XP anyhow. So an older PC (I assume you want a laptop for your brother) is your best bet. But buy from someone you trust because those deals usually come without any warrenty. $450 is the absolute minimum in new laptops ($400 for desktops with a small monitor). And for that you don't get much plus it's all Vista. There is one option though. That is the Asus Eee for $300 (if you can get one). That runs with Linux and is very, very small (I think a 7 to 8 inch screen, small memory and small SSD - Solid State Disk). But it weighs only 2 pounds.
I have also seen the Asus Eee supplied with XP and OS X
Edit. and it's also possible to run Vista on it.
and also dual boot XP and Linux
You are right Lighthouse. But that is NOT the $300 edition. http://www.just-eee-pcs.com/?g.....ZwodgRaotg

Date of Stay: June, 2010
This campground is located on the shores of Lake Superior and has without a doubt one of the most beautiful and scenic views in the State of Michigan. The campground is clean and well run with the only drawback being no sewers; of course, there is a dump station. A real plus is the free WiFi: somewhat slow at times but overall a surprise in such a remote location. Shore power was good and drinking water was excellent. We stayed 3 nights and very much enjoyed our stay. Would rate it a 10 but felt I could not do so because of the lack of sewers.
Date of Stay: May, 2010
The Elkhart County Fairgrounds is a wonderful stopping place if you're visiting Northern Indiana Amish Country. Very central location for visiting all of the towns and the staff have put together amazing information sheets for shopping, dining and the different locations and RV manufacturers. Everything was clean, very functional park and the staff was wonderful to deal with. Wireless was EXCELLENT (FREE) and it's all open (no trees) so dish and TV antenna reception is very good. I highly recommend using this park if you're in the Goshen/Elkhart area.
Date of Stay: May, 2010
Twin Mills is a heavily treed, family oriented RV park. It seems to have wonderful amenities for family activities and is in the scenic Amish country of Northern Indiana. I would have rated the park a 10 instead of a 7 if only we had been given the correct information about our site. I asked to be placed on an OPEN site so that we would be able to use our DISH and we also were told the Wireless internet worked well throughout the park (both items are very important to us). The park had NO open sites -- although beautiful, it was not what we needed. Also, the first day we were there we were on a site where the Tengo ($15 for 7 days) worked great. On the second day, we moved to a site that would not bring in any wireless, DISH or local TV stations. If these amenities are what you're looking for, I doubt this park would work for you either.
Date of Stay: August, 2009
This is a pretty, clean, quiet smaller park with back in and pull thru sites with most sites quite level. All service connections worked well including cable and Wi-Fi. The park is located in the beautiful Montana community of Missoula. Laundry was clean with older equipment - $1.25/wash; $1.00 dry -- didn't use shower rooms. The only negative was the park hostess who can regard customers as the enemy. I called to change to another day (we ended up coming in on the original date) and instead of telling me she would check availability, she informed me that we could not expect to call one day and "expect" to have a site the next as they were quite full. I thought it a rather bizarre management approach to future business. Saying all that, I would stay again at this park because it is a great little park. Hopefully the camp hostess will acquire some customer skills in the meantime.

This is a smaller RV park located on the Heart River. The park is modest, but clean and has a beautiful view due to being close to the river. All services were as advertised and worked well EXCEPT for the Wi-Fi. We were parked just a couple of spaces away from the office but signal was low and spotty -- very frustrating if you're relying on the internet for communication or work related issues. The managers were friendly and worked well with us on any questions or concerns. I would definitely recommend this park for an overnight or two (has level pull-thrus) but unless your computer connection isn't vital to you, I would not stay longer unless they fix this Wi-Fi issue in the near future. The area has all necessary shopping and gas stations.
Date of Stay: May, 2009
This is a lovely campground and when we stayed there was low attendance due to the season so it was quiet. Lots of seasonal campers but it appears only newer campers are allowed and outside junk is kept to a minimum. Campground was very clean. Wireless was excellent as was the cable. Good water. Cement slaps for RV and patio. Managers very helpful and attentive to the campers requests. We would definitely stay here again.

Park was very clean and the managers were attentive to the needs of the guests. Would have given it a higher rating but the wireless internet was weak and had hard time connecting. Also for the price you pay, sites are somewhat cramped. Lots of things for kids to do but activities are expensive.

Curtis Total Service they bilked my mother out of $1845.00 to install 2 toilets Allentown pa
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Curtis Total Service grossly overcharged my elderly handicapped mother to install 2 toilets in her home. Rich Price, the manager informed me that if she is incompetent to realize they were overcharging her for their services, it was my fault for allowing them to rip her off. He then told me he would repay her $345 of the $1845 even though i insisted he could have profitted plenty by charging her $600.00. he further told me his company would no longer provide services for her without my consent. Several weeks have passed with no reimbusement. They just called her a few days ago to see if they could steal any more money from her. when she explained she would no longer do business with them, and that they never reimbused the meager amount they promised, he blamed the secretary.

This week was an exciting stretch for big data. One emerging player raised nearly $30 million in funding after implementing a new way of analyzing consumer trends; DARPA bought a stake in the future of Python; and IBM strengthened its already massive analytics line-up with a strategic buy.
First up is the Boston-based DataXu, receiving $27 million in funding from Thomvest Ventures, Atlas Venture, Flybridge Capital Partners and Menlo Venture. The startup, which reported a 700 percent increase in revenue for 2012, sells software that allows marketers to buy ad space based on real-time changes in consumer behavior.
DataXu's user base is comprised primarily of large enterprises that maintain a large presence across multiple ad exchanges. Human resources alone are not enough to maintain operational efficiency on a certain scale, and that's where the startup's software kicks in. See our initial coverage for more details.
Then there's DARPA, the agency in charge of developing bleeding edge technology for the DoD, invested $3 million in Continuum Analytics on the same day DataXu announced that it has closed its latest funding round.
Continuum is a Texas-based firm that develops big data solutions in Python, a popular programming language that's widely implemented in web applications and online services. DARPA wants more developers to create software that makes intelligent use of information, so it provided Continuum with the resources it needs to lead the way for the Python community. The company promised it will use the funding to create the "next generation of tools to make Python as powerful and successful for big data and business data analytics as it has been for science, engineering, and scalable computing."
Also this week, IBM acquired Star Analytics for an undisclosed amount. The startup makes software that automates data integration across both the private and public cloud.

COMPTON - A second shocker in the CIF Southern Section football playoffs was just a little too much to ask for Centennial High.
The Apaches gave second-seeded Nordhoff a real run for its money, but in the end couldn't cash in as they fell 13-8 in a Northwest Division semifinal Friday night at Centennial High.
"I never thought we would lose until the clock hit 0:00," said first-year Centennial coach Russell Shaw, whose team entered the postseason with an at-large bid after finishing fourth in the Pioneer League. "I'm proud of the kids. They fought to the end. It just didn't go our way."
Centennial (5-8), which opened the playoffs with a victory over previously undefeated No. 3 seed La Salle, had its share of chances but failed to capitalize, either by turning the ball over or a simple lack of execution.
The Apaches blew red-zone opportunities in the second quarter and twice in the third quarter. They also lost two fumbles, threw an interception and muffed a punt. It was just too much to overcome.
"(Nordhoff) executed. They did what they were supposed to do," Shaw said. "I think we matched up pretty good against them, even if they had numbers (twice the roster size as Centennial). But we just made a gang of mistakes."
Nordhoff (12-1) looked as if it might just run Centennial off its own field at the beginning of the game. The Rangers marched 61 yards on 10 plays, capped by a 3-yard touchdown run by workhorse running back Tayler Livingtston (36 carries for 187 yards).
The Apaches drove downfield on their opening drive with the help of two big penalties against Nordhoff. They had a first-and-goal from the 5-yard line, but a pair of penalties took them out of scoring position early in the second quarter.
The Rangers got a 39-yard field goal from Cooper Garcia on their next drive to take a 10-0 lead. And after a muffed punt by the Apaches with 41 seconds left in the first half, Garcia booted a 47-yarder on the final play to make it 13-0.
Centennial has been a solid second-half team this year, so it was still within striking distance.
On the third play of the third quarter, the Apaches fumbled the ball at their own 32. But the defense managed a dramatic goal-line stand to keep the game close.
After taking over on downs at its 6, Centennial got its biggest play of the game, a 54-yard run by Marquis Lewis, to get the ball to the Nordhoff 20-yard line. The Apaches moved the ball to the 4 before finally turning it over on downs.
But they got the ball right back two plays later as Shiquan Jackson recovered a fumble at the 19-yard line. Centennial once again couldn't do anything in the red zone, and the drive was killed by Dorrell Hill's intercepted pass in the end zone.
Two plays later, however, Nordhoff fumbled and Rodney Smith recovered at the 10-yard line. This time, the Apaches managed to find the end zone, with Hill taking it in from 1 yard out with 4 seconds left in the third quarter. Ronald Reed ran in the 2-point conversion to make it 13-8.
"There was a little momentum shift there, but we couldn't keep in going," Shaw said.
The Apaches had just one possession in the fourth quarter. They took over at their own 32 and moved the ball to the Nordhoff 39 before turning it over on downs.
Centennial had a chance to get the ball back in the final minute, but failed to get the ball back as QB Tanner Workman scrambled for 10 yards on a fourth-and-8, and the Rangers ran out the clock to end the game.

I also loved all non-girly things & Harriet the Spy. I even had the thick glasses & funky hair (not by choice, just one of those awkward periods of childhood). I didn't like Barbie, I liked GI Joe. This post featuring such beautifully soft & green plants & produce, even a person wearing a jacket (!) is like a nice refreshing dip in a cool pool for this desert dweller who is at this very moment experiencing the heat of a Tucson summer!

And, I also really like your blog! I went GF last year after finding out my fibromyalgia responded well to eliminating gluten & your blog was a happy discovery. Pamela's Bread Mix (& the Baking mix) has saved me from experiencing a bread deprived insanity. Your last post with the baguette recipe had me so excited that I ordered the French bread pan as soon as I could click over to Amazon!

I have just made a fresh loaf in my bread machine trying out a mix I have not tried before & in case you haven't tried it I thought I would share it since there aren't too many GF bread machine friendly mixes out there-- Bob's Red Mill "Homemade Wonderful Bread Mix". I had tried their "multi-grain" in the past & did not like it, but this one is fantastic. Tastes kind of like a sourdough & made a nice big, soft loaf with a lightly crisp crust. It isn't quite as sweet as the Pamela's bread mix. You can see it on their website & check out the nutritional stats also. http://www.bobsredmill.com/gf-homemade-wonderful-bread.html

Happy baking & thanks for all you do!

Love this post & I LOVED Harriet the Spy. I felt the same way and actually made my own spy tool belt that I wore around as much as my mother would let me - it had a mirror, a flash light, pens & pencils, and of course, my notebook. It was awesome.

Thanks for all of your wonderful blog posts and for inspiring my child-like "spy side" to come back out. You're pictures are so cool too - I especially like the one of the berries. It's amazing what an iPhone can do!

A Tough Spot for Cupid, and other stories (edition 1945)
by Peter Cheyney
Work details
A Tough Spot for Cupid and other stories by Peter Cheyney
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Seven short stories in this slim volume. The first two feature Sonia Carew,a young and beautiful Secret Service agent who solves her cases mainly by 'feminine intuition'. Light and frothy fun reads.
The rest of the stories are all cases for the Slim Callaghan Detective Agency and are of a more serious nature. Murder and double-cross feature strongly in most of them,also a spot of blackmail raises its ugly head.
Published in 1945,these have a nice feel of their age. Throughly enjoyable.

HILO >> A Hilo police sergeant on the Big Island has been reprimanded for misconduct.
The Hawaii Tribune-Herald (http://is.gd/UpwTmQ) reports that the incident on May 31, 2012 involved Sgt. Darryel Tolentino.
In a letter to accuser John Tredre, Police Chief Harry Kubojiri stated that a review board had found there was sufficient evidence to sustain a portion of the misconduct charges against the officer. He says Tolentino has been disciplined.
Tredre says the misconduct occurred after he was arrested for drunken driving and placed in a cell block. He says he swore at officers, and Tolentino grabbed him by the hair and pulled him to the floor and kicked him in the side. He says he was slapped, stripped to his underwear and left half-naked in a holding cell.

A boys club known as the East Side Kids, which is based in the Lower East Side of New York City, makes arrangements for their member Glimpy to appear as best man at his sister Betty's wedding. Gang leader Mugs arranges for a police escort by telling the police that a mob action will take place at the church, while several other Kids obtain a tuxedo and flowers at a funeral home. Just prior to the wedding, Betty's fiancé Jack buys a home at 321 Elm Street in the suburbs. He plans to honeymoon there, but reluctantly decides to sell when Tony, a real estate agent who is an operative for Nazi spies, tells him the house next door is haunted and gives him a cash advance. When Jack and Betty check into a hotel after the wedding, they get a call from Sarah Elwood, who used to live at 321 Elm, who tells them she is aware of mysterious activities going on at the neighbor's house and has telephoned the police. The Kids, in the meantime, have gone to 322 Elm, and thinking that it is Jack and Betty's new house, borrow furniture from the unoccupied house next door, 321 Elm. They soon get spooked, however, when a disembodied voice laughs and talks to them throughout the house. Unknown to the boys, the ghosts are actually a Nazi subversive group comprised of leader Emil, Bruno, Monk and Hilda, who operate in secret passageways. The Kids run into the cellar and there discover a printing press and Nazi pamphlets. Still believing that the house belongs to Jack, they move the press to 321 Elm, hoping to save him from possible arrest. Jack and Betty forego their honeymoon and arrive home just after the police approach their house. When the Kids realize their mistake, they move the printing press back to 322 Elm, but the Nazi group returns it to Jack's house. After a chase in and out of the secret passageways, Mugs and Glimpy are captured by the Nazis, only to be freed by the rest of the gang. The Nazi gang is captured and arrested. Later, Glimpy, beset by German measles, is quarantined with the Kids at Betty and Jack's house, and the newlyweds bemoan their thwarted honeymoon.
