The BD bookshelf: An Army battalion cut off and unsupported during Tet '68
- By Thomas E. RicksThomas E. Ricks covered the U.S. military from 1991 to 2008 for the Wall Street Journal and then the Washington Post. He can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.
What an interesting, thoughtful book.
I've had this memoir, The Lost Battalion of Tet, on my shelf for a couple of years but had waited to read it in order of my research for the book I am working on. I am now, finally, studying the Vietnam War in 1968, so I turned to it. It is mainly about a 1st Air Cavalry infantry battalion that suffered 311 casualties in a few weeks, most of them after being surrounded outside Hue during the 1968 Tet Offensive, cut off with dwindling ammunition but without artillery support.
First, it strikes me as unusually honest in its relation of events and its depiction of people. This is a characteristic that it shares of one of my all-time favorite books, E.B. Sledge's With the Old Breed at Peleliu and Okinawa. Another similarity: Both books were written several decades after the events described, yet remained vivid.
In one passage, set in Quang Tri, Charles Krohn's battalion commander recommends to another battalion commander who is just arriving not to store any ammunition near a building with a shiny tin roof that was being used as an enemy aiming point. "You command your battalion and I'll command mine," responded Lt. Col. Herlihy Long. And then, writes Krohn, "A few hours later, Long was killed when an NVA rocket scored a direct hit on the ammunition." (78)
Then there is the rattled chaplain, Capt. Dan Klem, who asks to offer a prayer for a group of men about to undertake a dangerous mission behind enemy lines. "Instead of saying something inspirational . . . he asked God to be with the boys who were going to die," recalls the company commander, Capt. Robert Helvey, who was leading the reconnaissance mission. (210)
Krohn meditates well on the systemic failure and command failures at the brigade and division level that led to his battalion being cut off without much support. Near the end he offers this wise advice to commanders:
Try training for failure-system failure. Train under the assumption that one or more systems supporting you won't work knowing beforehand it reduces your probability of success. (281)

Tenancy for life
Should social housing tenants have the right to a tenancy for life, or should they face higher rents or being moved if their circumstances improve? The questions has prompted an unprecedented level of debate in the comment section of this site after we published a news story on proposals along these lines. http://www.insidehousing.co.uk/story.aspx?storycode=6501371
So what do forum users think? Is this a sensible, realistic solution - given the scale of demand for social housing - or would it create the kind of ghettos and stigma that housing professionals have been struggling to avoid?

Discussion in 'Leopard Event Meetups' started by Nauthez, Oct 17, 2007.
anyone planning on going to the irvine spectrum?
the day or days after, yes. but i don't see the point in camping out/lining up for this
I will be there that night. No camping out though, probably just get there an hour or so early. When Tiger was out, I saw no need to camp out, just get there a little early.
I'll be there at 1ish.
It was a toss up of Mission Viejo or Irvine. Guess I'll make it Irvine. Will prob. show up around 3ish.
well, seeing how the air quality is crap, i think mission viejo mall might be a better choice since it's covered
Yes but which one will be more crowded?
how was it at the spectrum?
It was a party at the spectrum...first time at an Apple launch event but it was sweet. People cheering as people bought Leopard, someone tried to start the wave. I like how its a party...I wonder what Vista's launch was like. People in tux with their windows PDAs?
Here is a pic
i was thinking about stopping by after work to get in on that free tshirt lol

Natalie Portman Glams Up Elie Wiesel Tribute Dinner
Stepping out for a very special evening, Natalie Portman was spotted at the 2012 Elie Wiesel National Tribute Dinner in Washington DC last night (April 18).
The "Black Swan" beauty looked amazing in a violet dress as she took the stage at the US Holocaust Memorial Museum-hosted event, held at the Gaylord National Hotel & Convention Center.
Ms. Portman wasn't just a spectator, rather she was also asked to give a ten-minute talk on the mission of the museum.
During her address, Natalie also congratulated Aung San Suu Kyi, who won this years United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Elie Wiesel Award for aiding Burmese refugees.

National Be a Moron Day
August 1, 2012 at 5:35 PM Leave a comment
This is from Mark Krzos, a staff writer at The New-Press in Fort Myers, Florida:
RE: Chik-Fil-A controversy
I have never felt so alien in my own country as I did today while covering the restaurant's supporters. The level of hatred, unfounded fear and misinformed people was astoundingly sad. I can't even print some of the things people said.
And there you have it. Today wasn't support Chick-fil-A day, it was National Prove How Ignorant You Are day. Or, hate a gay USA!

Cherie and Christopher's Wedding
"Thanks to Ponte I had the wedding of my dreams! The staff is so kind and helpful. The food and drinks are amazing! I would recommend Ponte to couples who want a rustic feel to their special day. We did a western theme that went with the rustic wine background. But it would also go well with a garden, lily, wine, or natural themed weddings. No matter what just take a look when you are in Temecula, you won't regret it."

My husband and I are trying to buy a house. I say trying because I don't think obsessing over real estates sites and then sitting around on our butts really counts for doing anything at all. Real estate is my latest procrastination tool. Gee, I really need to update my blog, but first I need to look at a buttload of houses that I've already looked at before online. I'm really productive that way.
Our other favorite trying-to-buy-a-house activity involves circling neighborhoods like cat burglars casing the block. We have to get a feel for the neighborhood because we're not even going to bother looking in an area that doesn't meet our approval. The problem is that we are just too picky. When I say we what I really mean is me. The problem is I'm way too picky.
Is someone in the neighborhood working on their car in their driveway? Then that neighborhood is out. God forbid I live near someone who knows how to fix a car. Is there a vicious looking dog lurking behind a potential neighbor's fence? No thanks. I don't want to get eaten by a rabid poodle when I go for my morning walk. Wait … there are no sidewalks in this neighborhood! How can I go for a morning walk without sidewalks?
I use all of these excuses, but the real reason we haven't started looking at houses yet is because I'm having such a difficult time with the commitment. I just can't picture myself living in the same house in the same neighborhood forever and ever until I die! Oh my goodness, that's just way too much pressure. It's like committing to a tattoo before the invention of laser tattoo removal.
As much as the cheapskate in me knows that buying a house will be a lot easier on our bank account in the long run, the untethered rambler in me is having a heart attack.
"What will we do when I decide we should move to Turkey?" I ask my husband one day.
"Why would you want to move to Turkey?" he asks.
"I don't know. I just picked a random place," I say.
"We could sell it or rent it out," he says like it is no problem at all and my whole identity is shattered. I've gone from being a free spirit who could move to Turkey on a whim to being some kind of evil slum lord refusing to fix a leaky pipe and delivering eviction notices.
We've made an appointment with our real estate agent for the end of the week.
He has no idea what he's in for.
About the Author
When not searching real estates sites or casing neighbors, Lovelyn writes a blog nebulousmooch, where she looks at the funny side of everyday life. She's also written a few novels.

Patient Comments: Sinus Infection - Symptoms
What were your symptoms for sinus infection?
Main Article on Sinus Infection (Sinusitis)
Comment from: Wendy, 65-74 Female (Patient) Published: September 28
I had extreme pain on the one side of my face which went down into my teeth and jaws and ear. Clear nose which gets painful especially in the cold weather. I have had sinus infections for many years and have suffered in silence. The last time, the pain was unbearable and I had to get an antibiotic to clear the obvious infection.
Comment from: Josephine, 35-44 Male (Patient) Published: January 03
I tried everything: antibiotics, nasal irrigation, you name it, I tried it. The only thing that got rid of my chronic sinus infections was a natural nose spray called Sinus Soothe. Apparently it contains natural antibiotics and natural antifungals. It helped relieve my sinus pain, headaches and nasal congestion.
Comment from: sandy, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: May 27
I have extreme pain, in my right ear, jaw pain, face. My face is swollen, right eye feels swollen to the point where is wants to pop out of my face. I'm on pain killers which make my sick and I'm also on antibiotics have been for 3 weeks. Had this problem for years. Been through 3 doctors.
Comment from: Allie, 55-64 Male (Patient) Published: May 19
I have severe face pain and have been on amoxicillin. This med has helped reduce the infection to the point of one side of my face hurting instead of both sides. However, I have now developed a cloudy eye on the side of my face that no longer hurts.
Comment from: GradStudent68, 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: May 12
My sinus infection symptoms follow my allergies flaring up. I have pain and swelling in my sinuses, but usually the discharge is clear. On rare occasions, the discharge is yellow. My ear is usually affected.
Comment from: Mom, 19-24 Male (Caregiver) Published: April 20
My son has had a headache for 10 days and been on antibiotic for 3 days and still is no better. Should I be taking him in for more testing they said it is a sinus infection. He is very tired and weak. He in unable to take a shower without having to sit down.
Comment from: Gamanuel, 19-24 Male (Patient) Published: February 18
Since I was born, I had major problems with my sinuses. Now that I'm 21, there's some type of soft tissue that's growing inside my left nostril, and it's scary, cause sometimes I cut some of it...
Comment from: whiskeygirl, Male (Patient) Published: January 31
Felt tired for several months, mucus draining going down my throat and a couple times a month coughing up a lot of mucus. Very sensitive to cold air. I thought it was just a bad cold. I think it started with an infected tooth. My dentist took an x-ray and said it had gone up into my sinus.
Comment from: JMcC, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: January 19
I had pain around the nose and a bad sore throat. Then a puffy large area of redness and lumps on the skin of one half of my face, very sore on that part of the face and hot to the touch. Mild headache, lethargy.
Comment from: Lungile, 25-34 Female (Patient) Published: January 19
Sneezing a lot especially at night, Itching and swollen eyes. Ears were burning.

YORK, Pa. (AP) — A forensic pathologist testifying in the trial of a Pennsylvania couple charged with killing their 7-year-old adopted son from Russia says the boy didn't cause the injuries that killed him, as his parents have claimed.
The York Dispatch reports (http://bit.ly/n0u3Fn) that Dr. Wayne Ross told the jury Wednesday that "severe, significant failure-to-thrive or starvation" contributed to Nathaniel Craver's 2009 death.
The trial of Nathaniel's parents, Michael and Nanette Craver, began Tuesday. They adopted Nathaniel and his twin sister from a Russian orphanage in 2003.
Testifying for the prosecution, Ross says the boy's legs were as thin as pencils, bruises covered his torso and back and his brain showed evidence of trauma.
The Cravers' lawyers say the child's injuries were self-inflicted, but Ross says he ruled that out during the autopsy.

No Matter What?
No matter, no more:
"In 2022, by CBO and JCT's estimate, 7 million fewer people will have employment-based health insurance as a result of the Affordable Care Act," the CBO announced in its new budget outlook released on Tuesday. This is up from an estimate of 4 million last August, mostly reflecting the effects of tax changes."No matter" being open to interpretation...
In a July 2009 speech to the American Medical Association, Obama declared, "no matter how we reform health care, we will keep this promise: If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor. Period. If you like your health care plan, you will be able to keep your health care plan. Period. No one will take it away. No matter what."

Soi Dog's Intake & Treatment Policies
Street dogs and cats are a fact of life in Thailand and throughout SE Asia. Thailand alone is home to well over 2 million strays. The only effective and humane method of addressing the cause of their unnecessary suffering (overpopulation) is through wide scale sterilization programs resulting in manageable population levels.
The main aim of the Soi Dog Foundation is to prevent the unnecessary suffering of stray animals through our wide scale CNVR program (Capture, Sterilize, Vaccinate & Release). By reducing the number of unwanted animals being born, the problem of overpopulation decreases and the unnecessary suffering of animals ceases.
Removing strays from their territory is neither practical, nor effective and in fact, contributes to the problem of over-population as unsterilized animals move in to take advantage of the now available food sources and breeding continues. Sterilizing stray animals and leaving them in their environment prevents this.
Soi Dog operates a shelter and animal hospital in Phuket. Soi Dog shelters and rehomes dogs that have been subject to cruelty or abuse or through age and/or illness are unable to survive on their own. In addition, as space allows Soi Dog gives shelter to abandoned puppies and kittens that are unable to fend for themselves. Soi Dog Foundation also treats stray dogs and cats for injury and disease and the pets of people who cannot afford veterinary treatment.
Unlike many shelters or pounds in western countries, Soi Dog does not act as a disposal centre for animals "surrendered" by their owners, nor do we euthanize healthy animals. Importantly Soi Dog does not remove stray dogs or cats unless they are at risk of cruelty or abuse in their current environment or due to age and illness will not survive in their current environment.
Emergency cases such as traffic accidents and serious wounds take priority and will always be picked up as soon as possible. However, Soi Dog does not have a 24 hour emergency service. Stray animals requiring urgent treatment out of hours should be taken to the nearest available vet. If Soi Dog is advised, we will collect them the next day and pay costs.
The Soi Dog Foundation has neither the space nor the funds to keep any of the following type of animals.
1. Dogs and cats no longer wanted by their owners. The foundation is not a disposal point for unwanted pets. It will give every assistance to relocate animals overseas if the owner wishes to relocate them. This is entirely at the owner's expense. Owners no longer wanting pets should try to rehome them.
2. Dogs and cats perceived to be a nuisance to humans. Soi Dog will sterilize animals living in your area. Sterilized animals will protect their territory from other dogs or cats. Removing them simply opens up the area for other non sterilized animals to move in and a far worse situation will occur as a result.
3. Soi Dog staff do not to respond to threats that animals will be poisoned or otherwise killed if we do not take them. Poisoning is common in Thailand, but in our experience, being as it is against the wishes of His Majesty the King, no local council or individual will advertise that they are going to poison dogs in advance. The perpetrators are always anonymous.

|Author: Anthony van Dyck
|History Painting, Painting, Oil on canvas, 147x110.3 cm
|Origin: Flanders, 1625/1626
This canvas was painted during Van Dyck's sojourn in Italy. The composition of the picture was inspired by the central part of the triptych painted by Peter Paul Rubens to decorate the burial place of Nicolaes Rockox, the burgomaster of Antwerp . Resurrected Christ stands before three of His disciples. Two of them, most likely Peter and Paul, look upon Him in awe, but the third, Thomas, has bent down on his knees to have a closer look at the wounds on the palms of the Saviour. Van Dyck succeeded in conveying the profound drama of the event. The figure of Christ, with head bent to one side and illuminated by bright light, expresses the suffering He has undergone, His submissiveness to fate and, at the same time, there is the miracle of the Resurrection, which inspires the astonishment we see on the faces of the disciples. The restrained colours of the painting, the alternation of light and dark areas and the mild semi-shade liken this work to Van Dyck's canvas Ecce Homo .

IMO, you'll soon grow to love the accuracy. I've had (or shot) several of the PM9's and accuracy has (at least for me) rivaled that of many full-sized guns.
Glad you found a good one. Enjoy!

I was very hesitant about buying a CM9 given that the reviews seem to be really good or really bad.
At the gun shop I racked the slide several times and was shocked how tight it was. I mean it was really tight. So tight that I was afraid to buy the gun. Anyway I went for it, came home, got on Kahrtalk, and cleaned and lubed the gun as recommended. Slide racked a lot easier after that so I was feeling better about it.
Went to the gun range and shot 200 rounds through it this afternoon. First impressions, gun is a little snappy and my hands are a little too big for the grip. My first 50-70 rounds I was all over the paper and there was no consistency. Modified my grip, got use to the sights, and finally was able to make consistent shots on target. Still room to improve but I think it was me and not the gun. I think I am going to put some trijicons on it. I prefer the 3 dot v. the heine sights.
All and all though I am very very happy with the purchase. Not a single FTE, FTF, or stovepipe in the first 200 rounds. So stoked it. I am glad I took the leap of faith and got it.
I will be pocket carrying it in a desantis nemesis and alternate between this good and my Glock 26 for edc. As of right now I can definetly recommend this gun to others.

Congratulations on your new gun. The CM9 is on my short list of pistols.
Checking on the Kahrtalk forum myself it sounds like there were some issues but Kahr seems to have addressed them and are producing first class pistols now.
I was pleasantly surprised the first time I pulled the trigger on mine. Very smooth and predictable break. IMO recoil is on par, if not less than my XD9sc. I also broke mine in using Tul Ammo specifically to see if I could get on malfunctions. So far so good. Still waiting on my holster, but once it arrives it will go right into rotation.
I was looking for night sights till I discovered getting them could be a bit difficult. So I got some Glow On painted the stock sights. I am satisfied with the results.
Makes you wonder some times way some owners just can't help but have some kind of problems. They just seem to work like designed. Good small light cc gun.
The economy line of Kahrs, the "C" pistols take only a couple aftermarket sights. Check before you buy, that they will fit the front sight position. I'm not sure which sights are available, just that they're limited due to the lack of a front dovetail cut.
I've purchased a total of eight Kahrs so I guess I'm a fanboy. The are light, small and easy to conceal. They do have a learning curve though, as they are a little bit different than many other pistols. Sounds like you're off to a great start with yours.
I've liked the feel and added grip security offered by the various grip sleeves on the market for my polymer framed Kahrs. May be worth a look. I've used both Pachmyer and Hogue.
Put a thousand rounds through to break it in, and at least 100 of your SD ammo. For me Federal 147gr HST worked well. You can rack a round in without using the slide release method but you have to be very aggressive. Stay away from +P - it does not handle the round nearly as well as the Shield.
I added a Talon rubberized grip and Trijicon night sights which I got from Kahr. Very pleased with both.

I also have the CM9 and it is a great little gun. You can't get a better pocket pistol IMO. I have a S&W 908 that I am more accurate with and prefer to carry, but the CM9 is easier to conceal. I just ordered a TT Gunleather Slim IWB for mine. I also use a DeSantis Nemesis for pocket. Enjoy it.
I bought the cm9 on a whim was looking for a decent pocket /gym gun. Very impressed with how accurate and enjoyable to shoot this gun is! You'll learn to love the little thing
My LGS has had one in for at least a few months. I know the owner so I stop by quite often. Each time I go in, I fondle it. I absolutely love the way it feels in my hands but I keep hearing this nagging voice in the back of my head saying "don't do it", so I've never bought it. Like you, I've heard either great things about Kahrs or terrible things. There doesn't seem to be any middle ground to be found, pretty much just a hate or love it type deal.
Maybe one of these days I'll pull the trigger, but as of right now I rather buy something I know I'll really like, as money always gets tight with the holidays coming up. Unfortunately, I don't know anybody who has a Kahr or know of a range that rents guns so I could actually fire it, which would allow me to ultimately put the doubts to rest. Maybe one of these days..

I too struggled with buying a Kahr but I had my eye on a PM9. Read all I could, Saw the good and bad comments. It was the size and weight that kept me coming back to the Kahr. I wanted something I could pocket carry in shorts or wear IWB all day without knowing the gun is there. So I was lucky enough to have a LGS that had a rental. I shot it and I could not get the smile off my face. This was THE gun I was looking for. Struck a deal on a new PM9 and out the door I went. The first trip to the range however had me doubting my purchase. Lots of FTF, nose dives and battery issues. Sigh. I was so disappointed. Then I stumbled onto KahrTalk's stickys about preping the Kahr. I cleaned and lubed it per the diagram, performed the magazine modification and racked the slide by hand.......alot. Next trip to the range and I was all happy again. No issues. I have shot it enough now to know the issues I had are gone. I am now using it as an EDC and BUG at work. KahrTalk is awesome and saved me from selling an awesome pistol.

Greetings drivers!
Yes, a long wait is over. I've always Subaru's technological prowess and the fact that all their cars are AWD and with strong boxer engines. I almost got caught in the WRX 2008 models, but decided to wait and see other options, and then, it happened...the new improved 2009 got here. Mine is silver color.
I saw at Subaru's site some different trims, but seems like ours are the premium ones. Mine has the 6 CD changer radio with STI A/C controls; can't say what else would be visually different. Features indicate 10 speakers, but I only see 6 (front doors-2 woofers-2 tweeters, rear doors, where are the other 4 speakers?
To start my journey I would like to add a urethane or rubber lip spoiler, mud guards, and strut bar. I saw some nice guards at ebay and a rubber lip at edoperformance.com ($110).
What do you think of the rubber lip and which is a good strut bar?
I give name to my cars. Previous was the Millennium (Star Wars), ex-wife's was the Logos (Matrix), and the new 2009 WRX is the Raptor (Galactica).

Influence of haptic guidance in learning a novel visuomotor task
Asseldonk, Edwin H.F. van and Wessels, Martijn and Stienen, Arno H.A. and Helm, Frans C.T. van der and Kooij, Herman van der (2009) Influence of haptic guidance in learning a novel visuomotor task. Journal of Physiology - Paris, 103 (3-5). pp. 276-285. ISSN 0928-4257
Restricted to UT campus only : Request a copy
|In (re)learning of movements, haptic guidance can be used to direct the needed adaptations in motor control. Haptic guidance influences the main driving factors of motor adaptation, execution error, and control effort in different ways. Human-control effort is dissipated in the interactions that occur during haptic guidance. Minimizing the control effort would reduce the interaction forces and result in adaptation. However, guidance also decreases the magnitude of the execution errors, which could inhibit motor adaptation. The aim of this study was to assess how different types of haptic guidance affect kinematic adaptation in a novel visuomotor task. Five groups of subjects adapted to a reaching task in which the visual representation of the hand was rotated 30°. Each group was guided by a different force field. The force fields differed in magnitude and direction in order to discern the adaptation based on execution errors and control effort. The results demonstrated that the execution error did indeed play a key role in adaptation. The more the guiding forces restricted the occurrence of execution errors, the smaller the amount and rate of adaptation. However, the force field that enlarged the execution errors did not result in an increased rate of adaptation. The presence of a small amount of adaptation in the groups who did not experience execution errors during training suggested that adaptation could be driven on a much slower rate and on the basis of minimization of control effort as was evidenced by a gradual decrease of the interaction forces during training. Remarkably, also in the group in which the subjects were passive and completely guided, a small but significant adaptation occurred. The conclusion is that both minimization of execution errors and control effort drives kinematic adaptation in a novel visuomotor task, but the latter at a much slower rate.

Geoff Hoddinott, the managing director of Business & Technology PR, writes a guest post about whether public relations in Australia needs a reputation boost.
In the last decade the PR industry has toiled to prove it deserved a place above the advertising industry when it came to corporate and brand messaging, corporate and brand reputation and, more recently, online corporate and brand monitoring and management. The reputation of the PR industry was one very much based on strategic messaging, connecting with the right audiences and developing purposeful media relationships.
But two worlds collided… the growth of online audiences with its accompanying growth of online PR practice areas, and the demise of some sections of print media. The move by many agencies to the 'always on' world of online engagement has sadly resulted in parts of the PR industry being open to an accusation of having forgotten what it is all about.
PR (and, to a lesser extent advertising) is about four basic, measurable, communication goals:
1. Awareness – have I heard about your company/brand
2. Comprehension – I have heard of your company/brand and understand what it stands for
3. Attitude – I have clear feelings about what your company/brand means to me
4. Behaviour – I understand all of the above and will act on your relevant statements/offers
With the rush to online audiences, too many PR agencies ignored what it was all about. Suddenly it was about 'conversations', 'connecting', and just plain numbers.
This was not helped by publishing houses that were faced with a new generation of potential readers who simply did not read newspapers, preferring to get their information online instead. So online was where agencies saw a river of new revenue… and staffed up for it. Social media was sexy. Clients wanted to have Facebook pages. Agencies wanted to be seen as online/social media 'gurus'.
At the same time advertising agencies were developing campaign mini-sites that cut into traditional PR revenues. So, PR went chasing the bright shiny object that is all things digital.
Therefore, in addressing the topic about whether the Australian PR industry needs to boost its reputation,we need to look at how this relates to various audiences.
Improve its reputation with whom? Itself? Traditional media? Social media audiences? Potential employees within the industry? Clients? Boardrooms? Partners such as ad agencies, media planners, research organisations, web developers?
The unfortunate article that was the catalyst for this topic elicited a number of valid comments, but for me, none more than the following comment:
"Agree totally with [commenter] RBall. There are now tweets saying this article represents the PR Industry's views. This is one person's opinion and definitely isn't shared by myself or any of the PRs I work with."
This, to me, is the crux of the problem… as the number of comments grows, it can often include tweets like the one referred to above.
As many PR pros will tell you, online media is predominantly about conversations. The problem is that too many people want the last word in a conversation, so online can turn into water torture on some topics. Is this what we want to be spending clients' budgets on? Tracking conversations and trying to have the last word? I hope not, but I suspect vast amounts of money are being spent in this way… rather than getting back to the basics of what we are meant to be about.
How to redress this? Has the race for online presence been embraced to the detriment of what PR is really about? We are moving on, but with a traditional media train-wreck behind us, and not yet having managed to migrate our core raison d'être online. For this reason I think that the industry has seen its reputation damaged, and a growing lack of understanding by others as to what PR actually does.
I fear we have given many audiences the impression that PR today (or at least the online part of it) equates to little more than chasing publicity and putting out its own bushfires. And having the last word. Which I just did. So there. Goodbye.
Have your say - does the reputation of Australian public relations need a boost? If so, what can be done to improve it? Does PR in Australia have a better or worse reputation than other countries?

A New York man was arrested for stealing a food stamp recipient's card and using it to buy over $300 worth of groceries, according to the Nassau County Department of Social Services.
Wesley Castor, 37, was arrested and charged with grand larceny in the fourth degree and official misconduct on February 8th, 2013. District Attorney Kathleen Rice explained how Castor was caught:
Castor, while working as a DSS caseworker, was advised by a DSS client that her food stamp benefits were missing from her benefit card.Castor then requested that a temporary card be issued in the name of the DSS client, signed for the card, and posted $367.00 in food stamp benefits to the card.Later that day, Castor, accompanied by a female DSS employee, used the card at Compare Foods in Freeport to purchase groceries for himself. …
When the DSS client checked her food stamp balance the next day, less than $30 remained on her card. She reported the missing benefits to DSS, an investigation followed and DSS referred the case to the District Attorney's office.
"This defendant was employed by the Department of Social Services to help those in need, but instead he stole food assistance benefits from woman in need and scammed the taxpayers," said Rice. "Food stamps provide life-sustaining nutritional assistance to low-income families, seniors, and the disabled, and it is outrageous that this defendant kept those benefits for himself.This arrest sends a clear message to those who may think about trying to cheat the public — you will be caught and held accountable.I want to thank Commissioner John Imhof and the Department of Social Services for their assistance with this investigation."

A recent survey of about 1,762 Belgian youth between the ages of 12-24 revealed the type of information all such surveys generally report in modern times– youth are pampered and materialistic. The poll did highlight contemporary youth spend a great deal of time on the Internet, and, in the case of Belgian young people that is a daily occurence for 86%. Not surprisingly, the vast majority of Belgian young people obtain information about the world from the Internet rather than from print media. About 87% own a computer and 67% have a lap top while 47% own a game console.
Like most youth in the past as well as in the present, the majority want to own a home, get married and have children and live the good life. Youth has always been criticized by the adult world for some sort of misbehavior. Of course, the adults making the charges are the former adolescents

Griner, McGraw are AP player and coach of the year
Sun., April 7, 2013, midnight
Brittney Griner has had no equal in her stellar career at Baylor. Now she's part of a very select group. The 6-foot-8 senior star earned the Associated Press women's basketball player of the year award for the second straight season Saturday. Notre Dame's Muffet McGraw was selected coach of the year. Griner is just the third player to earn the award in consecutive years, joining Seimone Augustus of LSU and Chamique Holdsclaw of Tennessee. Connecticut's Maya Moore won it twice in a three-year span. The three-time All-American got 37 votes from the 40-member national media panel that selects the weekly Top 25. Stanford's Chiney Ogwumike received two votes while Notre Dame's Skylar Diggins earned the other. – Associated Press

Hey everybody, my dad's 05 passat tdi has had this issue for a while and we are getting tired of ignoring it so time to fix it.
We had new keys/remotes made for our car, which work perfectly, but you cannot open the trunk via remote.
If you are inside the car, and press the trunk open button on the driver side door, the trunk wont open also.
The only way to get into the trunk is to manually go upto it and put the key in and open it from there.
Any suggestions on what this could be caused by and how we can fix this?

Advertising is one of the most important tools in a savvy marketer's bag of tricks. Through advertising, a business can creatively and effectively relay information to potential consumers, which may alter their behavior by persuading them to purchase (or keep purchasing) the company's offerings. When done right, advertisements can significantly increase sales, leading to a larger revenue and a prosperous business.
Not every entrepreneur can afford a full-blown TV commercial or another better-known form of advertisement. Businesses, new ones especially, struggle to create awareness of their products and services without depleting their financial resources. The smart ones, however, find a way out of this predicament by partnering with an internet marketing company that can help them get prominence among netizens.
The Internet is may be viewed as one great marketing platform. According to a study done by Internet World Stats in 2012, more than a hundred million people from North America alone browse the World Wide Web daily; they comprise around 11 percent of the total number of Internet users across the globe. The Internet's marketing potential has inspired experts to develop ways of twisting the medium to the advantage of businesses looking to gain customers.
A small business can benefit greatly from Internet marketing, and do so without shelling out loads of cash. After striking a deal with an Internet marketing company, a business's executives can just sit back, relax, and wait for customers to come. The marketing specialists will revamp their client's website to attract Internet users: when it comes to Internet marketing for small business, the marketing professionals will employ methods such as posting content (videos and blogs, etc.) to keep the client's site fresh and relevant.
Internet marketing companies continually devise strategies to make the client's website more user-friendly and less intimidating, especially for users who are not tech-savvy. To maintain the stability of the marketing efforts, marketers see to it that campaigns and plans are updated according to changing trends and the client's behest.
Internet marketing is fast becoming popular among new businesses. Know more about the ways Internet marketing can help your business attract more customers at smallbusiness.chron.com/six-benefits-internet-marketing-31382.html.

I have a few questions regarding this topic that i'm not sure about.
Does the Turbo back exhaust have to be specific design, or is it just refering to an aftermarket downpipe and catback?
Would i be able to use a HKS HIGHPOWER with a down pipe and highflow cat, and be considered to have a TBE, and would that be able to be stage 2?

2008 Apparel Tech Conference Educational Sessions
Wednesday, November 5
3:00 - 3:30pm
- Web-Based Apparel Product Development Outsourcing (APDO), Presented by Raj Sareen, Director, Tukatech (Ampitheater)
In the past 15 years, CAD drafting services in South Asia, particularly India, have grown into a core outsourcing business sector for automotive, industrial and many other engineering fields. Consequently, these sectors have dramatically decreased cost, decreased product development cycles, incorporated digital prototyping into the development process, and ultimately increased quality.
The apparel industry has been sourcing product development work, such as pattern making, grading, marker making and sample making for years to their manufacturers, but still suffers greatly from product development costs, quality control issues and lengthy prototyping/sample development cycles. Poor communication between vendors and buyers regarding technical specifications, and inadequate product development processes that lack digital methods are all responsible. Apparel Product Development Outsourcing (APDO) leverages existing 2D/3D CAD technologies, Web 2.0 PDM/PLM and Tech Pack API's, and online services in conjunction with knowledge-based product development consultants to provide a practical solution. We will discuss the advantages of an apparel firm outsourcing their pattern making, grading, marker making and virtual sample making to an online APDO vendor.

- The "M"in PLM, Presented by Charles Benoualid, VP, Research & Development, Visual 2000 International (Room 4)
It is no secret that PLM software is an important tool in today's fast moving world of fashion. PDM/PLM tools help with productivity, give a competitive edge and open up new opportunities when successfully implemented.
Companies are able to achieve success by focusing on a few key factors during implementation, educating their users on how they can change their routine; how they share information and how they ultimately change the way they do business. You can have the best Product Development Management system, but if people don't endorse it, it's useless. The success of the implementation is measured by the extent of the information visibility across departments.
The management tools imbedded in the PLM and PDM applications emphasize the "M"factor. The more powerful these tools are, the more the management becomes powerful. We will discuss the different management tools required to successfully implement a fashion PLM solution.
3:45 - 4:15pm

- Planning Considerations for Product Lifecycle Management Implementation
Presented by Bill Brewster, Vice President, Global Marketing & Product
Management, Gerber Technology (Room 9)
Even though the apparel and retail industry continues to contract in the wake of current economic and geopolitical conditions, planned investments in Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) systems remain strong.
Now more than ever, companies are embracing the benefits that a PLM system can provide across the business enterprise. Designers, manufacturers and retailers recognize that some type of PLM solution will enhance their competitiveness by enabling them to become more efficient and more nimble. However, identifying which solution is best and how to implement it are where things can become overwhelming.
The secret to success is for companies to work up-front collectively, yet precisely, to define their needs and what they expect a PLM solution to provide. Once a solution is identified, careful and methodical implementation can make or break the success of even the best solution.
This session will cover some of the key business and process considerations which Gerber Technology recommends for every company - regardless of size or scope of PLM solution.

Paul Magel will discuss how fashion executives and managers can leverage BI to increase inventory turns, optimize product allocation, and improve vendor and customer scorecarding. Because BI consolidates and analyzes data from existing systems, BI has the potential to deliver immediate actionable insight to help companies greatly improve visibility into their operations as well as insight into new business opportunities.

- To Achieve a Successful PLM Implementation Look Ahead of the Solution and Find Your Moment of Truth, Presented by Stefano Lena, VP Global Sales, TXT e-Solutions (Room 4)
Apparel, like many other industries, is being stretched to the four corners of the world; in an attempt to reduce costs, sourcing and in some instances manufacturing is being established in the Far East and India; however whilst cost reductions are being met, the management of processes across geography is proving more costly than before, and organizations are seeking new ways to save money.
PLM is such a way and a process where the right technology can transform the way these activities are managed. However, before organizations launch into an implementation they should carefully consider what their aim is - what is their moment of truth? Cost reduction, a new image, faster product launches, beating the competition and gaining market share?
A clear vision will make the difference between a successful PLM project and a failed one. Using existing customers' projects as backdrop for this presentation, Stefano Lena, VP Global Sales for TXT e-solutions, will draw parallels between a clear vision and a unique solution for a successful PLM implementation.

The economic outlook is not encouraging. Many apparel and footwear manufacturers and retailers may choose to cut back to weather the storm.

- Prediction, Production, Performance: Radical Results, Presented by Sue Welch, CEO, TradeStone Software (Room 4)
Retailers have always struggled with how to optimize their merchandise mix by moving prediction closer to production. They also understand how important it is to have on-trend items in store and how difficult that is to do when there is a hard commitment to production quantities and flows. With the right postponement strategies in place, they are able to wait until the last minute to impact color, size, geography and silhouette. This allows for multiple in-season product modifications based on sales and predictive analysis to enable dynamic re-assortments of new products and variations within original commitment quantities. By bringing prediction closer to production, the right software and retail strategies can help a retailer increase the number of on-trend items they have on shelves - allowing them to sell more items through at full price and saving hundreds of millions of dollars a year dollars in markdowns! TradeStone Software CEO Sue Welch will explain how "Prediction to Production"is the future of retail.

- Apparel Image Management - an Enterprise Approach, Presented by Dan Hudson, President, E-Spec Inc. (Room 9)
Images drive the apparel business process. They are our most effective communication tool. They can also be the single largest problem if not managed. Terabytes of images are generated each season; over-sized files and duplication clog systems and the network. Apparel images do not fit the standard data models used in other industries. Apparel images transcend departments and systems - take a step back; manage your images across the entire enterprise.
Images drive the Fashion and Apparel processes
Images are not owned by a single system
One to Many - Many to One; files vs. images
Single Point of Truth - System of Record
How do Artists and Designers really work?
Leveraging your investment in Adobe Creative Suite
Digital Asset Management - yet another DAM system
PDFs are images too!
How to - evolution; not revolution.
