Make a donation to honor Monte's memory!
Bosch's Communications Systems Division has partnered with the NSCA Education Foundation to establish the Monte Wise Scholarship, an ongoing scholarship named in fond remembrance of Monte Wise - "one of the pro audio industry's great personalities and mentors" - who passed away on September 30th, 2009. Monte was Systems Applications Specialist, Pro Sound, for Bosch's Communications Systems Division.
"Monte touched many lives over the course of an exceptional career," says Daniel Nix, VP of Sales, Americas, for Bosch's Communications Systems Division. "He was a mentor to many, and helped take hundreds of individuals and companies to the next level with education and technology. We were humbled by the amount of inquiries we received in the wake of his passing, from friends and colleagues asking "Is there anything we can do?'
"The creation of the Monte Wise Scholarship, in partnership with our friends at the NSCA Education Foundation, with whom I am proud to serve as a board member this year, answers that question: Yes! Please help extend Monte's legacy as a great teacher in the art of sound reinforcement by making a donation to this scholarship. Monte was a talented musician, a true gentleman and a dedicated scholar - this will be a fitting tribute to his passionate work in the pro audio industry."
"Monte's excitement for his job was contagious," says Chuck Wilson, NSCA executive director. "This industry is going to miss one of our great personalities and mentors."
Applicants will be chosen based on their goals and achievements in music, arts and sound reinforcement - Monte's specialty. On behalf of Bosch's Communications Systems Division, NSCA and Monte's family, friends and colleagues - THANKS.

by Susan McCurry, PhD
Dr. Paul Crane is an assistant professor in the University of Washington, Division of General Internal Medicine. He graduated from the UW Medical School in 1997, and joined the UW faculty in 2002. He also has a masterÆs degree in public health, with an emphasis on epidemiology, health services research, and biostatistics and measurement.
Dr. CraneÆs current work includes a combination of clinical, teaching, and research activities. Much of his current research involves looking at the tests that are used to evaluate memory and thinking in older adults and persons with AlzheimerÆs disease. In particular, Dr. Crane is interested in designing simple and efficient cognitive tests that provide accurate information about how a person is doing. He says, ōOne of the goals of people who work with measurement issues in dementia is that we try to make the process of cognitive testing as burden-free as possible. We recognize itÆs not a fun thing to be tested and weÆre working on improving that.ö
Dr. Crane came to medicine and measurement research in a bit of an unusual way. As an undergraduate student, he had a double major in History and English, completing dual theses on the topics of Black feminist theory and an analysis of DanteÆs Divine Comedy. He turned to medicine for his life work because he ōalways wanted a career that would help people and that would help me use my brain and be challenged.ö His social sciences background gives Dr. Crane a unique perspective on the way that medicine builds upon oral history and traditions, and how a personÆs background influences their performance on standardized tests. For example, in one ongoing study funded by the National AlzheimerÆs Association, Dr. Crane is examining the way that acculturation to an American lifestyle influences cognitive decline in older Japanese-Americans. Better understanding of how traditional cognitive tests may be influenced by culture will help ensure that people are not mistakenly classified as ōdemented.ö It also will ultimately help health services clinicians and researchers understand apparent differences in rates of dementia among different populations world-wide.
When not working, Dr. Crane enjoys playing classical piano and spending time with his wife and 4 1/2-month old son. His family has a particular love for tropical fish, and they have 90 fish tanks in their basement, most of which are Cichlids from South America and Africa. On the job, Dr. Crane says what he enjoys most is collaborating with other investigators doing AlzheimerÆs disease research, helping them look at their data in new and interesting ways. He says, ōItÆs like an enormous puzzle, and by working together we can attack certain parts of the puzzle in better ways than has been previously done. AD is a worthy opponent, and since IÆve started studying it, IÆve never looked back.ö

Coco Apologizes to Ice-T for Provocative Photos With Another Guy
Coco has apologized for taking provocative picturs with rapper AP.9 that Ice-T say made him "look and feel like s**t." As previously reported, the pictures showed Coco getting friendly with AP.9 and hit the internet over the weekend. Ice-T tweeted about them on Saturday, posting:
Don't get it twisted, I'm not happy about this s–t. Most of [the pics are] disrespectful and in bad taste. She's made me look and feel like s–t.
I say this on Twitter because there's no way to avoid the obvious misconduct of a married couple
The tweets were deleted, but Coco agreed, posting to her own account:
Ice is right. the pics I took with this man were in poor taste & I disrespected my husband however the pics were the only thing that happened.
I feel so sad,the bottom line is I love Ice & I can understand why he's upset theres no excuse for my actions.
I'm so sorry baby & to everyone
Things seem to be back to normal, as Coco tweeted this morning:
Chillin with Ice on Law and Order set. woke up too dang early..need to go back to bed but got a full day ahead
The pics, if you haven't seen them, are here.

Since I haven't looked at it in a while, I was able to view my portfolio with a fresh set of eyes. And you know what? I liked it. I actually was happy with what I saw. I finally feel like I'm starting to come into my own as a photographer and discover my own style. Sure, there's plenty of room for improvement. Who doesn't need improvement? I firmly believe we can never truly stop learning. But I've come a long way since starting this journey last fall and I can see that difference when I look through my work. That, to me, is key. As long as I'm growing, I'm moving in the right direction. Visible and measurable growth gives me a much needed confidence boost.
Please don't get me wrong - I know there is still a lot of work to do. I know I need to continue reading everything I can about running a business, practicing editing techniques, pushing myself creatively, and shooting photos at every opportunity. My weaknesses are no secret and I know what needs to be done to strengthen them. And I don't mean to sound arrogant or egotistical, either, but if we can be honest with ourselves about the negatives in our lives, why can't we be equally honest about the positives?
This month, I've realized it's important to recognize what you've done - both good and bad. We have a natural tendency to see all our flaws and beat ourselves up over them but we should be just as honest about our strengths. The good can be hard to see sometimes with the bad and the ugly crowding it out. But for me, this month was all about learning how to see the good and, you know what? I'm happy to say, the good is looking pretty darn good to me.

& The Fed
Most investors probably have heard of Alan Greenspan and the Federal Reserve, but many may be mystified by what the two have to do with one another. Who is this guy that has Wall Streeters on the edge of their seats? His words such as "irrational exuberance" send the markets reeling. If he said the economy was "Dyn-o-mite" or that investors should "Keep on Truckin," would Wall Street react the same? Probably. What allows one single individual to have this degree of power and why does the market react to his every word?
The Fool has developed this collection to shed some light on the man and his mission. We first explain what the Federal Reserve Board is and how it came to be. Then we introduce Alan Greenspan, the current chairman of the Federal Reserve Board. Our final article discusses what Alan Greenspan has done during his tenure at the Fed. There's also an extremely useful link to the Federal Reserve Board's website. We've also included a link to the Ayn Rand Institute. For more information on who she is and her relationship with Alan Greenspan, see the "Who is Alan Greenspan?" article.
Finally, our goal here at the Motley Fool is to educate, inform, and amuse our readers. If there's a specific topic that you'd like us to clarify for you, please let us know. We may consider it for a future collection topic. Send your suggestions to TMF NoClue.

Court panel restores rights of adopted kids

"Should the legal ties between parents and their adopted child unravel if the family leaves the state where the adoption decree was handed down?
"Of course, not. The very idea is outrageous.
"But that's what Oklahoma lawmakers were striving for in 2004 with their chillingly titled 'Adoption Invalidation Law,' which targeted adopted children with gay parents.
"...Late last week, the Oklahoma Department of Health decided not to fight the ruling, so families headed by gay couples no longer need to fear traveling through or moving to Oklahoma with their adopted children.
"'We are winning on the front of, 'Hey don't mess with our kids,'" notes legal director Jon Davidson of Lambda Legal, which represented the gay parents who sued."

Fahrenheit and Celsius have exactly the same information, i.e., both are interval scales.

One may be more used to Celsius or Fahrenheit subjectively, but the information in both scales is exactly the same, unlike degrees Kelvin, or the Imperial equivalent degrees Rankine, at the ratio level of measurement. It is trivial to transform back to the original scale.

This is a more important question. If the raw data are not available, however, it is not difficult to compute a reliability coefficient from the covariance matrix of the raw scores (or, not as accurately, the correlation matrix), if that is available. With three items, it won't be all that high, though. From what I recall earlier in the thread, though, the original data are not available, so it doesn't matter.

By KAREN
from PETROLIA
I purchased this treadmill in February - don't laugh - primarily for my dog to use. I knew I wouldn't be able to give her enough exercise when I got her in December and a friend had suggested THIS particular piece of equipment. Now, I was a bit apprehensive because there was assembly required, but let me first say, putting it together was a total breeze. I am no mechanical genius, but it took me less than half an hour, and the only assistance I needed was lifting it to get the tie down out from underneath it. It is also so simple to use, has a number of programs available, although you can create your own if you wish. AND maybe best of all, it is a bit compact without compromising exercise space, so if there is such a thing as a space-saver model in a full-sized treadmill, this would be it. It runs very quietly and smoothly. There is no slip to the belt and adjustments are simple and straightforward to make. And now that she is used to it, the dog LOVES it and will go and sit on the belt, waiting for me to turn it on. You could spend a lot more on a treadmill with a lot of fancy options, but if you don't need them and just want an exercise machine, this one fits the bill. It generally gets used twice a day and it seems to be reliable and is working well.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

NCAA Tournament Scores 2012: Kentucky & Ohio State on Collision Course to FinalMarch 24, 2012
There are several different routes that they can take to get there, but I have yet to see a way that the national championship game will feature anyone other than Kentucky and Ohio State. They are the top two teams remaining in the tournament and are playing the best basketball right now.
Perhaps just as important as all of that is that the matchups are going to be perfect for each team. The teams that they are going to be facing don't have what it takes to win, even in a single elimination setting. Let's take a closer look.
First we have Baylor, a team that can score a lot of points but is far too reliant on the three ball to beat a team like Kentucky.
Relying on the three is problematic for a few reasons. One is that, as you move further from the basket, the shots will drop less frequently. It is too easy to go cold when shooting from the outside. Against Kentucky, it's easier, as they have the length (notably from Anthony Davis) to obstruct looks from the outside. Baylor may have their runs, but they will not sustain that offense for 40 minutes.
Then, the Wildcats will be looking at a game with either Florida or Louisville.
The Gators are the more dangerous of the two teams, but they are already 0-2 against the Wildcats this year. Kentucky has the size to block the lanes that Florida needs to have to score a lot. Also, as is the case with Baylor, the Wildcats are too long and will obstruct the outside shots that a guard-dominated team will need to take.
Louisville is improving, but they have a pretty firm ceiling. It is really hard to imagine the Cardinals scoring more than about 70 points in a game, which will not work against Kentucky, nor will it come anywhere close.
With Davis, Doron Lamb, Terrence Jones, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Darius Miller and Marquis Teague, they have six double-digit scorers. In case you're unaware, you only need five men on the court at a given time. Scoring over 100 against Indiana was not a fluke.
There is no player that you can focus on when playing Kentucky. They have too many weapons that can take over a game in different ways.
Ohio State
With Aaron Craft on the perimeter on defense and Deshaun Thomas, William Buford and Jared Sullinger to score the points, you have the most complete team in the NCAA tournament outside of Kentucky.
As is the case with Kentucky, the clarity of their path is just as important as anything else.
On Saturday, they will square off against Syracuse. Without Fab Melo, the Orange lacks the inside presence to beat someone like Sullinger. Look for Craft to defend the perimeter, trying to force turnovers. He knows that he can, because Sullinger is there to back him up if something goes wrong.
It may be an upset in terms of seeding, but Ohio State is a much better team than Syracuse, and that will show in the regional final.
In the Final Four, they will have a nice gift of facing either Kansas or North Carolina. Both are still alive (obviously), but have struggled in a big way.
USA Today lists Kendall Marshall as being out for the year. Without him, they barely beat Ohio, needing overtime. It's hard to see them getting through Kansas, and Ohio State is an absolute no.
Should they have Kansas, the Jayhawks will learn that things are a little different with Sullinger in the lineup and at a neutral site. Neither was the case for the Buckeyes when the teams met earlier in the season.
The way Kansas is playing right now, they have a hard offensive ceiling. Against Ohio State, they will be in the 65-70 range, and that will be a blowout.
The matchups are right, and the teams are hot. Kentucky and Ohio State will be playing each other for the grand prize on April 2.

Gracie Cross sings with the band Train
Kingsport 20-year-old fulfills longtime wish
KINGSPORT, Tenn. - Who's that girl? That's what the big J. Fred Johnson Stadium Funfest crowd at the Train concert was wondering.
That girl is 20 year old Gracie Cross of Kingsport, a huge Train fan. "I've been to four of their concerts in the last four years," she said.
When she found out Train was rolling into Funfest, she knew she had to be there, especially for a meet and greet with lead singer Pat Monahan.
She also knew he usually calls up a member of the audience to sing the duet 'Bruises' with him, so she was ready. "I told him, 'If you need anybody to sing Bruises with you, I'll be in the second row and I know all the words,'" Cross said. "And he said, 'I'll take you up on that.'"
So when song time came, Pat did take her up on it and called her up on stage. "I kind of started screaming and I jumped up and down," Cross said. "Then I sprinted to stage as fast as I could cause I was ready to be up there and sing with Train."
During the duet she sure didn't stand still. "He just kind of nudged at me and told me to follow him," Cross said.
She sang, danced and really got into it. "I was in my element," Cross said. "I'm one of those people that whenever I hear music I kind of have to go along with the beat."
She got into it so much, "[Pat] asked me if I was a theatre major, I guess from where I was dancing around," Cross said. "I'm definitely not a theatre major. I'm a kinesiology major, which is exercise science."
For Gracie, this was an exercise in exhilaration. "I was on top of the world after," Cross said.
So was this whole experience for Gracie a case of train cross-ing or cross train-ing? "I guess Cross, me, training for something that I hoped for," Cross said. "And Train crossing just happening to cross their path so many times so I guess you could say both."
So with a song on her lips and reflection in her heart, for Gracie Cross this is a treasured Train memory that will never derail. "It's definitely something I can check off my bucket list," Cross said.

*My goodness, check out the Kalkster waxing all politically-committed Bollywood actress here.
This article has been reproduced in a new format and may be missing content or contain faulty links. Contact email@example.com to report an issue.
*It's unclear whether Kalki Koechlin wrote this manifesto herself (though one can't doubt she's perfectly capable of doing it). One wonders if she's planning a run for elective office. She wouldn't be the first Bollywood star to occupy a parliament seat.
A freedom movement for women has caught fire. Citizens across the country are demanding an end to the generations-deep violence and suppression faced by hundreds of millions of Indian women and girls. Voters are calling on elected officials to commit the resources and political will for change now. This Indian Womanifesto is a 6-point plan critical to the freedom and safety, equality and flourishing of India's women and girls. All candidates for the 2014 Lok Sabha should commit to:
1. Educate for Equality: We will implement comprehensive, well-funded and long-term public education programmes to end the culture of gender-based discrimination and violence. These will include: SMS, radio and TV public service campaigns, accessible lesson plans for schools, modules for training teachers and to train professionals such as doctors and lawyers. To this end we will reach men, women, boys and girls in both urban and rural areas.
2. Make laws count: We will ensure each government agency produces a detailed action-plan to implement laws to end violence against women, and we will fund it. We will work with state governments to provide comprehensive services to women who are victims of violent crimes, helping them to fund and set up one-stop, 24-hour crisis centres and safe shelters in each police district, and to give swift financial compensation. We will create and fund a comprehensive scheme to prevent sexual abuse of children, including safe childcare for children in villages and urban jhuggis, and awareness campaigns among children and parents. We will work with state governments to establish responsive and fair fast track courts for crimes of violence against women and raise the number of judges to at least 40 per 1,000,000 population. We will also ensure increased access to accountable legal aid, ensure that money damages are rapidly paid by the State in cases of sexual violence, and create robust witness protection programmes.
3. Put women in power: We will support the Women's Reservation Bill in the Lok Sabha, and ensure that women will be represented in all councils, committees and task forces related to policy and practice across the board. We will support the adoption of a Code of Conduct to disqualify electoral candidates who have committed offences of gender-related violence and end misogynist comments and behaviour in the Lok Sabha. We will strengthen the autonomous functioning of the National and State Commissions for Women, with experienced professionals being selected through a transparent process.
4. Police for the people: We will establish and enforce a comprehensive response protocol for crimes against women, and publicise it. We will work with state governments to change service rules and ensure police and prosecutorial recruitment, promotion and penalties are made on attitudes and performances based on gender. We commit to implementing police reforms and to ensure that police personnel who breach the new procedures are investigated and disciplined accordingly. We will also establish rape crisis response teams, with rural and urban pilot projects. There will be zero tolerance of moral policing by State/non-State actors.
5. Swift, certain justice: We will support amendments to laws that perpetuate violence and discrimination against women and sexual minorities, and those that directly/indirectly sanction discrimination against women on the basis of religion, caste, sexuality, age, economic status or disability. We will stringently implement the Pre-Conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostics Technique Act. We will support the amendment of existing laws, to remove the marital rape exemption, repeal Section 377 IPC and make sure that the rape of any person is criminal. We will change the law so that consenting couples aged 16 and 17 do not fall foul of rape laws. We will remove the impunity to perpetrators of custodial rape under the Armed Forces Special Powers Act and will appoint special commissioners in conflict areas to monitor and prosecute sexual offences. We will enact the Prevention of Atrocities (Amendment) Bill to stop crimes against dalit and adivasi women and commit to a strong law against communal violence that holds state and non-state actors accountable. We will take strong action against racial discrimination and violence against women from the North-East. We will push to enact a special law to combat honour crimes. We will take steps to bring speedy justice in long-pending cases of communal and caste massacres, as well as custodial rapes.
6. Economic flourishing: We will ensure secure, dignified, remunerative employment for women. Action plans will be created to secure equal pay for equal work in all sectors; provide creches and other critical support to MNREGA workers; rights, dignity and minimum wage women workers in the organised and unorganised sectors. We will grant government employee status to ASHA and anganwadi workers in 'voluntary' schemes where women work with informal honorariums. We will push to amend the law to address the range of unfair discrimination at work, including in the unorganised sector and we commit to implementing the Central Government mandate under the sexual harassment law. We will bring universal, non-contributory old age pensions for women. We will create action plans to accelerate quality education for girls. We will devise a scheme to ensure that women achieve equal property rights in natal families and fair shares through marriage. Public toilets shall be set up, especially in the poorest areas, and all women will have access to regular, safe public transport. We will ensure development justice for women and respect community rights to resources. Action plans will include infrastructure, personnel, training, monitoring and evaluation, supported by central finances.

If the above are in the story of your life,
then the third leg is sure to be missing
from your health tripod.
Above is the face of my nine month old grandaughter!
Well, I aint no babe no more;
and here I am 50 or so years later,
and finding that most people are still confused
about the source of real vibrant health.
So this is for you, my next generation,
and for the present digital natives
who are about to run the world.
You might be amazed that
our present model for well being
nearly always has one leg missing
from the health tripod,
and it is always the same one.
Leg number one is our modern
medical system. It's a mighty good leg.
It is the reward of our advances
in technology, research, and development.
Leg number two comes out of the
tremendous growth and appreciation
of the nature of our psyche.
The third leg never needed
to be developed by our intellect.
It is completed and given at birth.
It effortlessly springs up out of
the nature of NATURE.
Stress, strain, pain, worry,
anxiety and concern!
They are telling us that we are
disconnecting from that nature.
We are impeding the energy, the vitality,
that is our underlying nature.
Stress, strain, pain, worry, anxiety
and concern are pointing to
" A disturbance in the force "
Kathy and Robert Macleod
bringing you
Psychology, Counselling,
Alexander Technique,
and other great stuff,
for more than thirty years.
Kathy is a sensitive, listening psychologist
who is across some of the best strategies
available for getting your life moving again.
This includes CBT - Hynotherapy - Tapping - Mindfulness and more.
Rob is an author and a teacher
of the Alexander Technique who
came to Perth in 1983.
His psyche-physical coaching has,
for more than thirty years, been
helping people release their stress,
strain, pain and emotional intensity.
So just what is our underlying nature?

June 12, 2012
Coventry, UK (rushPRnews) 06/12/12 — Ultraseal America Inc., the global leader for solutions to the eternal problem of porosity in casting, is to exhibit for the first time at the North American Die Casting Association (NADCA) Congress and Exposition.
The benefits of impregnation, of Ultraseal's world-beating recyclable sealant Rexeal 100, and its range of impregnation equipment will be explained at Booth #205 at the show.
The exhibition is the largest for the industry in North America, with more than 4,000 visitors expected to attend the event which will place at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis, IN., from October 8th-10th 2012.
Rexeal 100, one of very few recyclable sealants to meet the US military specification MIL-I-17563C (Class 1 and 3), outperforms conventional sealants while also offering cost and environmental benefits.
Bob Remler, Vice President, Ultraseal America, Inc., said: "Manufacturers around the world are now increasingly using impregnation with sealants as a quality assurance process that is integrated into the production line."
"With the rising price of metal making it costly to scrap parts which leak, and the subsequent loss of the value added costs, manufacturers are turning to impregnation with sealant as a safe, reliable and permanent solution to porosity in castings."
Ultraseal is a true pioneer: it introduced the world's first recyclable sealant – MX2 – and transformed impregnation machinery. It was first to develop front loading impregnation machinery 20 years ago and today it has more than 50 applications of front loading machines around the world. Especially suited to modern lean manufacturing practices, front loaders can be easily incorporated into automated production lines.
While up to 95% of conventional sealants are simply washed away in the impregnation process, both of Ultraseal International's recyclable sealants, Rexeal 100 and Ultraseal MX2 can be recovered immediately and used again, saving money and producing less waste water.
All this is achieved while delivering global benchmark performance: aluminum test rings of the type used in the US Mil Spec demonstrated that those impregnated with Rexeal 100 did not leak after 24 hours at 428°F (220°C). In contrast, rings impregnated with a conventional sealant leaked after half an hour at 212°F (100°C).
Honda, BMW, Delphi, Hyundai, Sanden, Toyota, Valeo, and VW are just the few of the 250 plus users worldwide.

The smartLav is a professional-grade wearable microphone designed for use in a wide range of film, television and broadcast scenarios, or wherever professional quality audio is required in a discreet, portable format without the complication and expense of additional wireless equipment. With the smartLav the user simply mounts the microphone on the talent, connects it to a smartphone or tablet headset jack and records via the RØDE Rec app for iOS, or any other audio app of their choice.
By employing a high quality omni-directional condenser capsule the smartLav picks up sound equally from all around the microphone, allowing for versatility when mounting and ensuring a high degree of user-friendly operation.
A foam pop shield is supplied to minimize wind noise and vocal plosives (hard 'b', 't' and 'p' sounds), as well as a durable mounting clip with in-built cable management.

Its standard sized shoe mount also includes a 3/8″ thread in the base for easy mounting on a boom pole or stand. (note that cameras with proprietary sized mounts require an additional adaptor.)
Its super cardioid polar pattern is highly directional, focusing on the subject in front of the camera, and minimizing any surrounding sounds.
In addition to the microphone's native 40Hz-20kHz response a selectable high-pass filter at 80Hz is available, which will prevent low end noise such as air conditioners and traffic from being recorded.
A -10dB and -20dB level attenuation (or PAD), selectable from inside the battery compartment, allows recording of loud sound sources, such as live music or motor sports.
The RØDE VideoMic directional on-camera microphone is covered by RØDE Microphones' industry leading 10 year warranty.

By Chris Harris
Arsène Wenger says that the capacity of his team to keep improving will determine his future at Arsenal.
The 60-year-old's current contract expires in the summer of 2011 and, speaking before the weekend, he revealed that talks over a possible new deal would begin "in autumn" of this year.
Wenger is focused on the short-term of course, namely Arsenal's quest for the Premier League and Champions League. And although the Frenchman insists that his future does not depend on success this season, he accepts that year-on-year improvement is critical.
"My own personal future will depend on the capacity to win trophies but as well to feel that this team is improving year after year because we are still very young," said Wenger.
"We compare it for example with [Barcelona] the other night. Cesc Fabregas is 22 and Xavi is 30. I knew Xavi when he was 22 and this team has still a lot of development potential."
"Ideally no [I would not want to leave this team] but at the moment my focus is more on short term, that we finish well and we go to Barcelona and have a good chance to qualify.
"At the moment I want to finish as well as I can this year and then we talk about it [my future]. It is important for us, this generation, to win. It is this year and after we see next year but I still think we can win this year."
Reports have suggested that Pep Guardiola could eventually succeed Wenger as Arsenal manager but the current incumbent is not even thinking about that prospect.
"No. That should not be my job or my decision," he said. "He just started in Barcelona. I don't know why he would leave Barcelona. He started at the top of the top of the top, so I think he will stay as long as he can there."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

how do I stop my dog from demanding attention

- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
Stop giving it to her. She has got you wrapped around her little paw. If you start ignoring her when she wants your attention, she will start to understand that you're the boss and you call the shots. When she demands your attention, do not look at her. Just turn your back and ignore. It'll feel like you're being mean, but you're not. You are just teaching her that you're the boss and you hand out the affection. When you're walking around the house, stop looking at her (that one's tough). But, every time you look at her or talk to her, you're validating her demands. I had to do this with my dog and boy it was hard, but I now have a calm dog who doesn't come to me every 5 min. for affection. I still have to keep up with not looking at him while he's lying down. I love how cute he is, but I can't give him that power otherwise I'll never be able to sit down w/o him in my lap. So, try those things and I bet within a few days, she isn't bugging you all the time.

hehe... I agree with above. boy is it hard tho. I have an especially hard time when I come home. Doesn't matter if it was 10 min. or 8 hrs, she is so happy to see me I just give in! So, with that said... it will be hard but it'll be the best for both of you... and us!

From a grimy subway ride to a long day in the park, there are plenty of times when it pays to have antibacterial wipes on hand. Besides keeping you clean, they're a quick way to refresh hands and face. We like Herban Essentials' version because they're made with all-natural ingredients and come individually wrapped.
I'm not quite sure what I expected with a towelette, but this seems like an overpriced wet nap I would use when eating some BBQ. Lemon smell isn't unpleasant, but a bit over the top. Perhaps a less intense smell or a different scent than lemon and definitely a lower price tag.3

In 2017, Washington University in St. Louis will begin one of the most significant capital projects in the recent history of the Danforth Campus: transformation of the east end. The comprehensive plan includes new academic facilities, to support the University's core missions of teaching and research, and expansive green space that better connects academic programs and provides a more inviting, relaxed gathering place for the University community and visitors to campus.
Two key components of the plan include changes to the Sam Fox School campus: the construction of Anabeth and John Weil Hall, and the expansion of the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum.
For additional details about the plan to transform the east end of the Danforth Campus and project updates, visit campusnext.wustl.edu.
Anabeth and John Weil Hall
Weil Hall will be a symbol of the University's commitment to creativity in the 21st century and identify the Sam Fox School as a leader in design practice and education. This new front door to the Sam Fox School will express the important roles for art, architecture, and design in a research university and will help guide the future of these disciplines.
Below we are featuring renderings and descriptions of several new spaces in Weil Hall; please check back for updates.
Weil Hall Commons
This 2,400-square-foot entry hall will be a flexible hub for the entire Sam Fox School, accommodating public events, exhibitions, critiques, and socializing. With an open central staircase and a transparent glass wall overlooking the relocated Steinberg Weil Sculpture Garden and Ann and Andrew Tisch Park, the Commons will be a dynamic space for organized and incidental interactions.
MArch, MUD, MLA Studios
These open-concept studios will accommodate 144 graduate students on the north side of the second and third floors of Anabeth and John Weil Hall. They will flank a central courtyard, allowing natural light to suffuse the space while facilitating connections across disciplines. Studios will also feature group worktables and multiple pinup and critique spaces to better facilitate collaboration.
Across the south side of Weil Hall's second and third floors, 30 individual, 180-square-foot studios will support graduate art students' work across media while providing direct access to the facilities in Walker and Bixby Halls, plus the resources of the Kemper Art Museum and Kenneth and Nancy Kranzberg Art & Architecture Library. Installation spaces throughout the studios will allow students to convene for critiques, student-curated exhibitions, and impromptu gatherings.
This 3,000-square-foot central space will be both the physical and conceptual heart of
Weil Hall. Here, students and faculty can execute complex projects using state-of-the-art tools
like the CNC mill, laser cutters, and 3-D printers. The large, open workspace will connect to an
outdoor working court through an oversized door.
Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum Expansion
An expansion on the north side of the Kemper Art Museum will create the James M. Kemper Gallery, allowing the Museum to showcase a larger portion of its world-class collection and expand its exhibition program. The project also will add a new entrance foyer and connect the newly relocated Florence Steinberg Weil Sculpture Garden to Ann and Andrew Tisch Park.
KieranTimberlake is the architecture firm for both Anabeth and John Weil Hall and the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum expansion. The Philadelphia-based firm has designed many significant higher education projects; among them are the Sculpture Building and School of Art Gallery at Yale University (2007), winner of an AIA Top Ten Green award, and the Brockman Hall for Physics at Rice University (2011), winner of the 2015 AIA Institute Honor Award. Current commissions include an addition and renovation to the School of Architecture at Tulane University and the design of the new United States Embassy in London. A strong research practice within the firm allows for an innovative approach to reducing the environmental impact of its projects, from the development of custom modeling software to studies that mitigate the adverse outcomes from bird and building conflicts.

BeschreibungA collection of poems, folk songs, and sonnets on various subjects and life experiences, including an ode to President Garfield, a poem about the four lakes of Madison, and poems lamenting the passings of Bayard Taylor and R. H. Dana, and the untimely death of the poet, Robert Burns."The Children's Crusade" was left unfinished. It is founded upon an event which occurred in the year 1212. An army of twenty thousand children, mostly boys, under the lead of a boy of ten years, named Nicolas, set out from Cologne for the Holy Land. When they reached Genoa only seven thousand remained. There, as the sea did not divide to allow them to march dry-shod to the East, they broke up. Some got as far as Rome; two ship-loads sailed from Pisa, and were not heard of again; the rest straggled back to Germany.

Call for life as Corby files appeal
Page Tools
Prosecutors have asked the Bali High Court to increase Schapelle Corby's jail sentence from 20 years to life, insisting judges were wrong to state categorically she had never previously been involved in a drug crime.
The chief prosecutor in the case, Ida Bagus Wiswantanu, lodged his appeal yesterday while Corby's lawyers will today lodge their appeal against the verdict and the sentence.
The document says, in part, that prosecutors do not agree with a statement made by three judges when sentencing Corby to 20 years jail that they had taken into account the fact she had no involvement in drugs.
"Before the court there were no facts that showed the defendant had never been involved in drugs," the statement said. Prosecutors said that evidence should have been provided to the court from a "legal government institution to explain whether Corby had any involvement in drugs".
Corby's 20-year sentence was "too light" and "too far from the prosecutor's request" for a life sentence and that their request for a life sentence be upheld.
In a draft of Corby's appeal to be lodged today, her lawyers insist the public prosecutors and the court did not prove Corby imported the 4.1 kilograms of marijuana. While the drugs were in her possession, they did not "explain and prove" how they came to be there.
Hotman Paris Hutapea, the wealthy Jakarta lawyer who has just joined Corby's legal team, is expected in Bali today to lodge the defence appeal.
The Indonesian film star Anisa Tri Hapsari, whom Mr Hutapea has given the job of convincing the country of Corby's innocence, said yesterday she was unsure about her role: "I am public relations for Hotman, not Schapelle," she told the Herald. "However, I can speak on this case."

Billion dollar budget for rural Victoria
Page Tools
The Victorian government has made a strong pitch to country voters in its fifth budget, with more than $1 billion in funding for rural and regional Victoria.
Much of the money goes to improving country roads and to a new bushfire package, but there are also funding boosts to education, health and aged care in regional and rural Victoria.
Funding for country roads was one of the few items Treasurer John Brumby kept under his hat in the run up to the budget, with $186 million for the Geelong Bypass and $73 million to upgrade other rural roads, including the Bass Highway, the Mooroopna Causeway and the South Gippsland Highway.
Less secrecy surrounded an $80 million capital works program for regional nursing homes, announced by Premier Steve Bracks last week.
This was part of a $142.8 million allocation over four years for health services in country Victoria, including $50 million for the Grace McKellar Centre and $18 million for the Andrew Love Centre, both in Geelong.
The bushfire package, worth $168 million, includes $73.7 million over four years for 450 seasonal firefighters and $30 million for a year-round emergency service program.
There is also $16 million for increased hazard reduction, $28.7 million over four years to maintain fire tracks and purchase new equipment for the CFA and $8.6 million towards the delivery of another 190 Country Fire Authority fire trucks.
The budget contains $86.1 million for schools and TAFEs in provincial Victoria, with $55.6 million for a four-year building program at regional schools.
There is also $16 million for an upgrade of the speed of internet connections at country schools over four years.
Mr Brumby told reporters country Victoria had always been one of the central concerns of the Bracks government and this had been reflected in all its budgets.
"But in many ways this is the most significant," he said.
The budget contained $67.5 million for the Victorian Water Trust, with details of the proposed works to be released in a white paper later this year, Mr Brumby said.
He also pointed to fresh funding for programs to drive growth in the regions, including a further $5.7 million for the Making it Happen in Provincial Victoria campaign, which encourages Melburnians to make the move to the country.

La Sardina Wardrobe Artist - Maria Tang and her La Sardina DIY2012-09-24 4 Share Tweet
It's only 9 more days to the La Sardina Wardrobe Exhibition;and we had just received the 11 artist designed La Sardina DIY. The first to be showcased is the one created by Maria…
1. Firstly, please introduce the theme of your La Sardina DIY. What are the thoughts behind your creation?
Theme:Style practise
Thoughts:To transform the camera into a canvas to practise my style.
2. Where do you derive your design inspirations from?
When the soul is shriveled, it will seek nutrients from art works.
Recently, I saw my favorite Dali exhibition in Taipei. I can see the life and creativity of an artist from their works, I am curious as to what's inside their minds. It took me awhile to decide to transform the camera into a piece of canvas.
When I was young, I learned painting through imitation. Slowly, I began to discover what I like to paint, and what I can paint; I found out that many friends who are into Analogue Cameras started out with failure,there could only be 4 usable shots in a roll, it dawned on me that photography can also be a form of style practise. Hence, when I paint, I will imitate the style of Monet, treat the camera as a canvas and began my style practise.
3. If you are to give this to your favorite artist/designer, who will that be?Why(You may choose anyone dead or alive)?
Can I give it to Monet? I would like to tell him that I never like any lotus pond, except for those in his paintings.
4. Can you share some creative tips with DIY newbies?
Don't treat it as a camera, it is whatever you say it is. Forget those buttons and labels, just keep the lens well protected.
5. Where or who would you like to capture with your La Sardina DIY be anything real or virtual)?
I hope I can bring it on my travels and snap photos of children and animals I happen to meet.
La Sardina Wardrobe Exhibition Opening Party
White color lets your imagination run wild, to emphasize the uniqueness ofLa Sardina DIY , Lomography invited 11 local famous or up and coming creative artists to customize 11 unique La Sardina DIY specially for this exhibition… more information will be announced on our Facebook and Online Magazine ,do keep a look out for it。

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee volleyball is four days away from the first match of the season. The countdown continues with senior Whitney Heeres in #TNVB Serves Up.
Heeres, a transfer from Ball State, suffered a shoulder injury during her junior year at Tennessee. As a sophomore at Ball State, Heeres played in 31 matches, earning 14 starts, helping the Cardinals earn an at-large bid into the NCAA Tournament in 2011. She recorded double-digit kills in 10 matches, including a 16-kill effort in the win at Ohio (Oct. 14). The 6-foot-2 outside hitter hit .300-or-better in four matches.
During her freshman campaign, the Flushing, Mich., native was named to the MAC All-Freshman Team after helping the Cardinals to a 24-5 (14-2 MAC) record, and the program's eighth MAC regular season title. She played in all 29 matches and 109 sets, earning 20 starts. She led Ball State during league play with a 3.36 kills-per-game average.

I have a 2012 WRX sedan and have been thinking about upgrading the stereo. I went to a local car stereo place in Omaha and found JVC and Pioneer units that I like for $350-450. Here's the problem - the estimate for the install with accessory kits for SWC and Sirius was over $600! That seems crazy to me just for a head unit.
So here are the options, interested in advance to get the most bang for the buck. Btw I am a music fiend - old school rock and roll, alternative rock and occasionally jazz - but not an obsessive audiophile. What I would like from the stereo update is better sound definition, not more bass, etc. Must have BT phone and stereo streaming, must work with SWC's. Sirius +\-. I actually like the functionality of the stock HU, just not the sound.
I apologize in advance if this is found in an older post, but I didn't find this specific topic with a bit of looking.
1. Replace speakers. Seems like the cheapest and easiest upgrade. I've read the stock speakers aren't bad with a good HU though.
2. Replace HU but do install myself. I'm pretty tech savvy, have done some aftermarket installs to stereos in other cars but I don't know about this one. The SWC connections and USB seem a little intimidating. If I understand correctly, a HU like the Pioneer 5500 plus an inexpensive SWC harness should be all that's needed for a basic install?
3. Replace HU, using a big box store with a cheaper install. No Sirius, as I can stream that from my iPhone anyway.

Subsidised Broadband Rollout imminent
03/07/2008 , 10:47 AM by Alan Richardson
The race is now on for internet infrastructure providers to sign up broadband subscribers under the federal government's "Australian Broadband Guarantee" program . The program aims to provide high speed broadband at city competitive prices to people in regional areas who do not currently have an affordable or speedy service.
Companies like "Broadband Anywhere" are now putting in their applications to be providers and to pick up the subsidy which is offered per subscriber signed up. According to their Business Development Manager, Rob Seymour, the provision of an ADSL service (via your existing phone line) will be a good option for those close to a telephone exchange , if Telstra signs up enough subscribers on that exchange. The next best option will be wireless broadband, but each transmitter tower erected will need at least 50 subscribers to make it viable.
Finally, there's satellite for those not covered by the ADSL or wireless rollout. Satellite does have problems though as the "latency" or delay caused by the huge distances the signal has to travel, mean it's unsuitable for applications such as VOIP. (ie. Internet telephone services).
Potential subscribers to any of these subsidised services MUST register via the Australian Broadband Guarantee website. Here's the address... www.dbcde.gov.au/abg or call 1800 883 488.

mama to and, due in November
No real suggestions, just comiseration. My inlaws, not my Huz, but still. Are your kids old enough to do anything on their own--activities? Thinking you could buy them "membership" into something. We had my newphew (who lives with the inlaws) going to Boy Scouts for a while, but then they stopped taking him....
Subbing for ideas.
mama to and, due in November
I was thinking about buying an outing for them... something fun they could DO instead of an item that would be trashed. However, if it was something they'd do with their dad, it just wouldn't happen because, well, he's LAZY.
Suggestions, please? I'm seriously contemplating not sending them home with any presents.
If they have a washer on premises, your 12yo could wash clothes for themself - so that could make clothing a usable gift.
Unless your Ex is really something else, maybe a watch would work - they'd be wearing it all the time so it'd be hard to pawn without slipping it away in their sleep or something...
Would your ex pawn a used scooter/bike? I wouldn't think they'd be worth much, but would be a fun present.

This discussion is co-organized by UN-Habitat, AquaFed, UNEP, International Water Association and OECD. The stream aims to facilitate discussions on key priority issues for the inclusion of wastewater management in the future development agenda. The discussions will unpack experiences from the present MDG and focus on options and opportunities in wastewater management as an untapped resource and important contributor to public health. We look forward to your contributions! The Sub-Consultation on Wastewater Management and Water Quality has taken place through discussions on five specific themes, please read and comment on the synthesis paper below.
The Wastewater Management and Water Quality Sub-Consultation Synthesis Report: Please Click Here to Download, Read, and Comment!
Wastewater and Water Quality Framing Paper: Click Here & Comment
The pace of urbanization is a critical issue governing the production and use of wastewater. Large urban areas, and also the many unplanned smaller urban centers, present the biggest threat to our public health and the health of our ecosystems. A more comprehensive approach to wastewater management is needed to respond to this challenge. Cities also represent opportunities for introduction of sustainable approaches to managing resources, yet wastewater remains a politically unattractive issue. Have your voice heard on the challenges and opportunities for wastewater in your city!
This week's topic comes with an urgent call to act. Large populations are dependent on the coasts and oceans and the resources they provide for their survival and well-being. However, these ecosystems are being degraded due to human activities on land. According to the Sick Water? report (UNEP & UN-Habitat, 2010), up to 90 % of wastewater flows untreated into densely populated coastal areas, resulting in excessive nutrient loads in the receiving water bodies (rivers, lakes, groundwater and coastal waters). This undermines biological diversity, natural resilience and the capacity to provide fundamental ecosystem services, impacting both rural and urban populations and affecting sectors from health to industry, agriculture, fisheries and tourism. Share your views and suggestions on how we can tackle this challenge.
Focusing on all residuals from different forms of sanitation system as well as other types of wastewater and sludge from commercial, industrial and agricultural activities; this week's topic of the global consultation on the proposed Sustainable Development Goal on Water focuses on the opportunities for water reuse and the benefits that these practices bring from perspectives of the environmental protection, natural resource management, urban water cycle management, climate change mitigation and sustainable socio-economic development.
Almost all uses of water cause some form of pollution and loss of water quality. In urban situations, many such uses cannot be avoided and in addition surface water, rainfall and run-off also becomes polluted. Dirty water poses many problems and always flows into other waters thus polluting them too. There is therefore a strong case for collecting wastewater so that it can be cleaned up to protect downstream waters and users or to be used again for other purposes. Why is this not done more frequently? Could this be the "blind side" of the water cycle? This week we invite you to examine the ways in which used water can be collected and de-polluted effectively.
Worldwide, pollution from untreated wastewater is projected to increase dramatically, harming people, ecosystems and the economy. The potential benefits of improved wastewater treatment and better water quality are significant. Wastewater can also be part of the solution – as a source of water in water-scarce areas when treated "fit for use". Improved financing and better governance are critical to addressing the challenge and realising the economic opportunities. Clearly, there is much to be done. How can successful efforts be scaled-up? How can policy and institutional barriers overcome?
Current WATER HOME PAGE TOPIC: To address the competing water needs for the water, energy and food nexus means exploring opportunities to optimize water infrastructure and technology that will help shape and achieve the Post 2105 Development agenda. We need to bridge the sectoral divide and have a vision that encompasses sustainable development which makes sure there is sufficient water for multiple uses without compromising the needs of other areas such as agriculture and energy. Join the discussion and share your ideas and solutions to the water-energy-food nexus!
