We recently embarked on a Forrester-wide research project to benchmark the use of social technologies across enterprise organizations. Why is this important? Well, as you may know, we cover social technologies from a wide range of perspectives — from roles in marketing to IT to technology professionals. We find each of these roles differs in its general "social maturity" and that most companies are experiencing pockets of success, but few, if any, are successfully implementing it across the board. In fact, full maturity in this space could take years, but there are clear differences in how some ahead-of-the-curve companies are using social technologies for business results. In fact, at this point it has been clearly established by many people (including us many times over) that social technologies as transformative tools that are changing the way companies do business. So we're not talking as much about the opportunity social presents, but rather we are trying to determine the current reality of practitioners. It's also clear that many companies have made tremendous strides in planning and organizing for the use of social technologies. However, the one question we consistently get is: "where is my organization compared to others in the use of social media?" We want to benchmark these companies to see if we can answer questions like:

When designing application infrastructure strategy, planning for the renewal of their application landscape, or assessing their overall strategic position, banks and other types of firms in financial services typically like to know the answer to the question: "What are the others doing?" In the past, surveys similar to our newest financial services survey helped application delivery professionals as well as enterprise architects assess their position, for example, regarding application infrastructure strategy as well as broader application renewal initiatives and position their individual initiative in the regional or global IT and business environment.

Lorca's writing from the grave (again)
The Guardian reports on a manuscript by Federico García Lorca found in the Library of Congress' music division. The manuscript features new lines from the poem "Office and Denunciation," which was written about his time in New York, during the great depression. Some of the great new lines include "I offer myself to be devoured by Spanish peasants," and "This is not hell, it is the street." Christopher Maurer, a professor of Spanish at Boston University, says of this period of Lorca's writing:
After the stock market crash of 1929, which Lorca actually witnessed, he has a more vivid sense than ever of America's lost potential…Days after writing this poem, in January 1930, he tells his family that the rest of his work 'pales' before his new poems, which have impressed his friends and 'which, in a way, are symphonic, like the noise and the complexity of New York'.

In Conversation with Reagan Arthur
Kate Atkinson presents Life After Life ($25.99). On a cold and snowy night in 1910, Ursula Todd is born to an English banker and his wife. She dies before she can draw her first breath. On that same cold and snowy night, Ursula Todd is born, lets out a lusty wail, and embarks upon a life that will be, to say the least, unusual. For as she grows, she also dies, repeatedly, in a variety of ways, while the young century marches on towards its second cataclysmic world war.
Kate Atkinson's first novel, Behind the Scenes at the Museum, was named England's Whitbread Book of the Year in 1996. Since then, she has written seven more ground-breaking, bestselling books, most recently Started Early, Took My Dog. She lives in Edinburgh, Scotland.
Reagan Arthur is the publisher and senior VP of Little, Brown.

The switch is not a hard wired switch, it is just a logic signal, so it doesn't source enough current to turn anything on (not even a relay). I ended up making a current amplifier.
Here's how I did it: You need to check with a meter to verify, but if memory serves me right, it was a yellow wire (or yellow with another color stripe, maybe black?). I cut the wire (to avoid feedback back into the car) and hooked up an amplifier (made from transistors) to power the V1 up. Depending on what you are powering, you might also need a relay. Keep in mind that the switch is an on/off switch, not a pulse.
If you want, I can give you schematics of the circuit I made (actually a timer/amplifier). I haven't tried, but you could just probably get by with a single transistor. Another option is to buy a pre-built amplifier like the one I made from Select Products ot Accele Electronics, probably for $20 - $30.

"Out of sync. Never out of style.. "
Film Synopsis:
Two estranged, former backup soul singers, Louis (Samuel L. Jackson) and Floyd (Bernie Mac) who have not spoken to each other in 20 years reluctantly agree to travel across the country together to a reunion concert to honor their recently deceased lead singer (John Legend).
My Take:
This road trip style comedy has a brief dramatic side and a flair for late 60's early 70's music nostalgia that was fun. Louis and Floyd are backup singer's (ala The Pips) for lead singer Marcus Hooks (John Legend) who leaves them high and dry to start a successful solo career. With the nickname The Real Deal they strike out on their own and complete one album before having a difference of opinion that causes a 20 year rift between them. When Marcus dies suddenly, a tribute is put together at the Apollo Theater, and the arrangers ask Floyd and Louis to perform. Floyd is recently retired and Louis is working as an auto mechanic. Louis has been in trouble with the law and Floyd is living with family and feeling frustrated with retirement. Floyd happily agrees to perform but Louis is not so inclined and feels bitter toward Floyd. It turns out that their falling out years ago was over their former female vocalist and Louis' ex-wife Odetta. Floyd convinces Louis to go along and the two have to drive across country because Louis doesn't fly. Along the way the two stop a several scheduled venues and perform in order to re-establish their old form. What they also end up doing is coming to terms with their grievances and making an unknown discovery.
This is a formulaic dramedy that brings together two very colorful people in Jackson and the late Bernie Mac. I enjoyed watching them perform and appreciated the story's nostalgic theme. It was interesting to note that both of them did their own singing although I have heard Jackson sing before when he starred in Black Snake Moan. The F and mother F word get used extensively and of course with Jackson they have a razor sharp edge. He did is requisite scene (at work with his boss at the gas station) where he waxed poetic in his classic threatening demeanor with nostrils flared and eyes popped. That's okay because it wouldn't be a Jackson film without it. Bernie Mac's quick wit, lazy eye, and charming personality all made him unique and it was indeed a pleasure watching him have fun in this role. I thought that the story was just average with a light comedic edge that offered a few funny moments. The stage performances and chemistry between the two stars is what made this a more enjoyable experience than it probably would have been otherwise. Isaac Hayes had a bit part which seemed a little ominous as he passed away on August 10, 2008, which was one day after Bernie Mac's passing. Regardless both men have made significant contributions in the respective fields and will be sorely missed. The bonus supplements contain short tributes to both men and are worth checking out.

Soul Men comes to Blu-ray from The Weinstein Company featuring 1080p AVC encoded video that has an average bitrate of 38 mbps lossless Dolby TrueHD 5.1 channel sound that has an average bitrate of 3.2 mbps.
The is a high bitrate video encode that features transparent imagery that delivers opulent detail, three dimensional depth, and razor sharp definition. There are only a few instances where resolution isn't definitive but these appear to be related to the photography and don't infringe upon fidelity. Blacks are deep and gradationally satisfying but fall short of the rich, inky levels of the best that I have seen. When onscreen with lighter elements such as the vestibule and street lighting outside the Peabody Hotel, the black of the nighttime sky in the background had excellent contrast and depth. Primary colors were vivid, deeply saturated and pleasing to the eye while secondary colors were less engaging but still boldly stated. Flesh tones were tonally natural with excellent delineation that made subtle complexional differences easy to discern. This was a great looking high definition video presentation.
This is predominantly a dialogue driven film but the musical aspects of the soundtrack offer a platform for it to show off its surround sound chops. Dialogue is exquisitely rendered and features crisp, defining texture and prominent soundstage depth. Detail, imaging and dynamics are on point and bass presence is readily apparent and palpable when appropriate. The film's quieter moments are heard through the center channel with some left/right channel support that overall gives it a one dimensional perspective. The soundstage comes alive during the musical performances and balances the front/rear channels to deliver an immersive surround experience that captures the feel of sitting in the audience during a live performance.
Bonus Features:
- The Soul men: Bernie Mac and Samuel L. Jackson - 9 minute featurette
- The cast of Soul men - 7 minute featurette
- Director Malcolm Lee
- Tribute to Bernie Mac - 7 minutes
- Tribute to Isaac Hayes - 4 minutes
- Boogie ain't nuttin: Behind the scenes documentary capturing the studio recording made by Mac/Jackson
- (HD) Bernie Mac at the Apollo (Shreveport L.A.) - 4 minutes of stand up
Final Thoughts:
Soul men is an average yet entertaining comedy that features the last onscreen film appearances by the late Bernie Mac and Isaac Hayes. The colorful portraits of Floyd and Louis as painted by Samuel L. Jackson and Bernie Mac are at the heart of the enjoyment of this film. Its debut on Blu-ray Disc from The Weinstein Company offers fans the opportunity to see it looking and sounding its best and it doesn't disappoint. The bonus content presents an average look at the production while offering fans the chance to bid a fond farewell to Bernie Mac, with a short tribute to Isaac Hayes. This as a must have for Mac fans and is recommended as a rental for those looking for a comedy on movie night.

Too bad the story gives her absolutely nothing to do.
The Neuroscience Of "Harry Potter" or, What Happens to Your Brain When You're Lost in a Book
Let's do a casual experiment. Here's a brief passage from the first book in some obscure fiction series called Harry Potter:
A bush on the edge of the clearing quivered. … Then, out of the shadows, a hooded figure came crawling across the ground like some stalking beast. Harry, Malfoy, and Fang stood transfixed. The cloaked figure reached the unicorn, lowered its head over the wound in the animal's side, and began to drink its blood.
And here's another passage from the final book of the series:
He got up off the floor, stretched and moved across to his desk. Hedwig made no movement as he began to flick through the newspapers, throwing them on to the rubbish pile one by one; the owl was asleep, or else faking; she was angry with Harry about the limited amount of time she was allowed out of her cage at the moment.
Which passage did you find more engaging? Chances are it was the first. While the second passage might advance the plot, the first passage has drama, tension, and irresistible vampire-like behavior stuffed into a matter of four lines. It's the type of action that helps readers get lost in a book. And it's precisely this ability to immerse readers that helps sell hundreds of millions of copies.

Update 10/8/13: The app name has been changed from"The Little App" to "Knoala" and we have updated the review to reflect that change.
Three of the words I dread hearing most are "Mom! I'm bored!" As a mother of four, it gets exhausting trying to come up with new and inventive activities to keep my kids entertained and stimulated. In our home, the past few weeks have been really hard as the summer heat has made it nearly impossible to go outside and play and my stockpile of creative ideas has been depleted. I was overjoyed when I opened up Knoala and saw that it was the solution I was looking for!
Knoala is basically a library of age-appropriate activities that is customized for your child. Simply create a profile for your each child that includes their name, age, gender and your relationship to them. You can even add a photo to the profile if you want! Then, like magic, Knoala will pull up a variety of activities that you can do with your child or they can do with a sibling or friend. Some of the activities include things like a pretend tea party complete with dress-ups and even going so far as having you knock on the door and wait to be invited in! There are fun activities that promote academic learning as well such as a number game where you either draw numbers on the ground with chalk or put paper on the floor with numbers on them. Then you make smaller cards with the same number on them. When you hold up a card, your child has to run to the matching number on the ground! Each activity has the amount of time it should take and the skills or behaviors it encourages. The best part is that for the most part, the activities can be done with things you already have around the house. Also, you can bookmark your favorite ideas and they will be saved on your child's profile for another time.
One of my favorite features of this app is the story ideas it gives you. My kids absolutely love books and stories and it is a tradition to read or tell a story before naptime or bedtime. It gets very hard coming up with new story ideas every day! This app does that for you! They are silly combinations that are fun to tell and even more fun for your kids to listen to! Last night I told my boys a story about "A shy rocket ship who wanted a make-over!" They love the ideas and ask me several times throughout the day to pick a story from my iPad to tell them. It is a great way to pass the time while we are driving in the car or shopping in the grocery store. I even told my son one the other day while I was cooking dinner. What a fabulous way to keep your kids entertained and spend some quality time bonding as well!
Knoala is pure genius! This app is a must-have for any mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, nanny or babysitter. My oldest daughter is nearing the age when neighbors will start calling her to babysit their kids and I am going to make sure she has this app to help out on babysitting jobs! This app is a great tool for keeping your kids busy but more importantly, it provides ample ways for parents and caregivers to interact with the children in their care and rely less on television and (dare I say it?) mobile devices to entertain them. Plus…the app is FREE!!!! You cannot pass this one up! Knoala is wonderful. A great big thank you from this iPhone Mom for providing such a fabulous app to parents and caregivers!

- 8mm Howlite, Rose Quartz, Sapphire, Labradorite
- Lock in 925 Solid Silver
- Product Code: WBS8_001
Our classic beaded bracelet is crafted by hand from a strong 100% nylon string and finished with a 925 sterling silver drawstring lock. The bracelet opens by pulling the beads closest to the lock in opposite directions and closes by pulling the small, dangling silver beads in opposite directions.
Please note that all our pieces are crafted by hand and one-of-a-kind, and may therefore vary slightly in size, shape, and color.
Known as the "wisdom stone", it releases mental tension, depression and unwanted thoughts. It stimulates concentration, brings peace of mind; also known as the "stone of prosperity", attracting gifts, dreams and desires.
Labradorite represents the temple of stars. This stone assists in discovering your serenity and provides clarity of inner sight. It stimulates imagination while developing enthusiasm, thus new ideas. It helps promote intellectual, intuitive, and mystical wisdom; rings patience and calmness.
Howlite absorbs and uplifts stress, tension, anxiety and emotional intensity. This stone is an excellent antidote to insomnia due to an overactive mind. It also may help to overcome critical or selfish behavior. It brings gentleness and patience; good for creativity, digestion, memory, bones and teeth.
Rose Quartz
Known as the "Stone of Love", Rose Quartz represents unconditional love, which corresponds with the vibration of the harmonious, universal love felt with pink; removes negative energy, replacing it with loving vibrations.
Like gold, silver symbolizes wealth and prosperity. It increases the power of most stones, while activating them to their greatest potential, especially turquoise and coral. It is the metal of emotions, the psychic mind, and of loving and healing.

Rachel Romanelli is director of Missoula's Montana School of Massage, and a massage therapist of 10 years standing. Upon hearing the name Brandon Raynor, her nostrils flare just a tad, and she quickly taps the end of a ballpoint pen against the wooden reception counter.
Brandon Raynor, who exchanged e-mails with the Indy, runs another school that teaches massage, based out of Tasmania, Australia: Brandon Raynor's School of Natural Therapies. He first held workshops in Montana last May, and says he'll conduct more in Bozeman in a week or so. Raynor's school offers a 40-hour class, for which students receive a certificate, and a 100-hour class, for which they receive a diploma.
While Montana massage schools, which require students to complete 500 hours of education for certification, have not welcomed Raynor's school with open arms, the general public, he believes, has.
"Montana has been very receptive," he writes. "I think this very receptiveness is what has got the other schools' nose out of joint." In fact, Montana massage schools' noses might be tweaked because the schools, which have been attempting to establish licensure, consider anything less than a 500-hour requirement inadequate.
"It's a slap in the face to the profession that's worked so hard to establish itself," says Romanelli.
Just to take the national exam, she says, nationally certified massage therapist hopefuls must have 500 hours of education under their belts, including instruction in anatomy, physiology, kinesiology and ethics.
Raynor doesn't disagree that these components are important. For anatomy and physiology, he recommends a coloring book that artists and health practitioners use. He also strictly enforces professional ethics, he writes.
"The most important part of [ethics]," he writes, "can be summed up as don't be sleazy and don't rip people off." He knows how to manage the most common ethical infraction—sexual advances on the part of the client.

Marantz's KI Pearl gear gets coffeetable book, SACD
Last month, Marantz announced its upcoming KI Pearl line of high-end audio equipment. The SA-KI Pearl SACD Player and PM-KI Pearl Integrated Amplifier were created to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the company's European brand director, audio designer Ken Ishiwata. Both the SACD player and the amp have all the hallmarks of special, limited-edition product releases: limited quantities, a unique "silk pearl" finish, and a formidable price tag ($2,999 for the SA-KI and $3,599 for the PM-KI). Now, Marantz has announced a series of collectibles to go with these limited-edition components.
The company will release a hardcover coffee table book ($30) and a dual-layer SACD ($50) that, like the KI Pearl components themselves, focus on the work of Ishiwata. The SACD is the most notable item, with a dozen jazz tracks chosen by Ishiwata and featuring the work of singer Katelijne van Otterloo. It was recorded with entirely acoustic instruments with a small sound stage, to emphasize Ishiwata's aural aesthetics.
Both the book and SACD will be available from Marantz retailers later this summer. The SA-KI Pearl SACD player is already available at Marantz retailers, and the PM-KI Pearl will ship in September.

For example, all things equal (meaning, adding 3-4 content pages a day, constantly), where should one expect to see it's traffic in 6 months, in a year, in 2 years.
When do you get to 30 000 visitors a day?
Let's create this study together.
As a starting point I will say the following.
I have started my site in March 2004.
I put in average 3 articles a day, and today I have 1000 plus articles.
After 9th month, I steadly get 200-300 visitors a day and about 600-700 pages viewed (my traffic is excluded)
Where do you stand?
when should I expect to see 1000 visitors a day? or 10 000 or 30 000 visitors a day?
All things equal: meanin, adding 3-4 articles a day.
thank you.
Each day the articles are rotated slightly (795 articles remain the same, 5 change).
The site in question rankings #1 on Goggle for 2 of the main keywords and #1 on Yahoo for one of the keywords.
Last time I checked the server logs were we handling somewhere around 50,000 hits/day.
That figure is without advertising of course.

Hotels in Podlaskie
Podlaskie Hotels
Podlaskie (also called Podlasie) is in northeastern Poland, on the border of Belarus. The name means The land close to the forest. Though much of the old forest cover is gone, you can still see primeval woodland in Bialowieza National Park. Your discount hotel in Podlaskie will also put you within easy reach of Biebrza and Narew National Parks. These beautiful parks are not far from Bialystok, the largest city in Podlaskie, with a population of 292,000.Bialystok dates back to the 16th century. It was almost completely destroyed by the Nazis in World War II, but it has been largely rebuilt. The 18th century town hall, one of the few historic buildings to survive the war, now houses the Podlasie Museum. Here you can see a collection of Polish art, and some Viking artifacts. Another historic building, Branicki Palace, was burned down by the Nazis, but has been restored to its 18th century splendor. Also be sure to see the little 17th century old parish church and the much larger early 20th century mock-Gothic cathedral that is attached to it. From your budget hotel in Podlaskie you can explore the region outside Bialystok. The Holy Water Sanctuary has been attracting pilgrims since the early 18th century. In the little town of Tykocin you can see a 17th century synagogue that miraculously survived World War II. It is now a museum. There is also an 18th century Baroque church, and a monument to Polish hero Stefan Czarniecki.

Pearson, Wilks complete TUF 9's British Invasion
Story by Anthony Springer Jr.
Photos courtesty of Josh Hedges, UFC
Forty-five years after musicians from the United Kingdom crossed the pond and captivated a generation of American music fans; a group of mixed martial artists conducted a "British Invasion" of their own, earning the respect of MMA fans worldwide.
Following in the footsteps of their coach, Michael Bisping, James Wilks and Ross "The Real Deal" Pearson claimed this season's Ultimate Fighter titles in the welterweight and lightweight divisions respectively.
The wins put the exclamation point on a season of the hit reality show in which Team UK quite frankly kicked ass from start to finish.
Pearson bested fellow countryman Andre Winner, while James Wilks defeated the lone American in the finals, DeMarques Johnson. In victory, Pearson and Wilks—both underdogs at the sports books—were humble and offered no boastful statements about their wins.
"I saw the sports books yesterday," Wilks said. "I think my friends were trying to keep it away from me. It didn't affect me at all."
Pearson echoed his teammate, "I didn't really realize that I was the underdog going into the fight. I didn't look at that or pay any attention. I just went on self-belief and knew that I could do it."
While the pair suffered physical setbacks, the show's accomplishments served as a great confidence booster to both men.
"Mentally, I was just focused," Pearson said of his TUF experience. "To me, after the show finished, I thought I beat their better two guys and I was mentally strong going into the fight with Andre."
"Winning three fights in a row on the show or outside the show—I won three fights outside the show—so that's six wins in a row," Wilks said, who stopped all of his opponents en route to the welterweight TUF crown. "Obviously that's going to build confidence."
Sitting next to one of the original Ultimate Fighters in Diego "Nightmare" Sanchez, Pearson and Wilks received some advice going forward.
"Believe in yourself and work hard," he said to Pearson and Wilks. "Surround yourself with good mentors and good trainers and good people that are going to be positive people in your life."
TUF 9 Finale Odds and Ends
For the first time in UFC history, three "Fight of the Night" bonuses were awarded. Sanchez-Guida, Stevenson-Diaz, and Lytle-Burns received an extra $25,000 for their efforts.
After beating Clay Guida, Diego Sanchez lobbied for a shot at the winner of the lightweight title fight between "That's their decision and their call, and I respect their judgment…but I do definitely feel that I'm the number one contender," Sanchez said with a smile. "I always have."
Sanchez looked more explosive with this victory than he did in his first outing at 155 against Joe Stevenson.
"It's a science, he said of cutting weight. "I'm getting experience doing it. I was in great shape for the Stevenson fight. I trained really hard for this fight [too]. It's just a science. This fight, my game plan was to come in a little heavier to make it a little tougher on him to take me down, but that also affected my weight cut. I'm learning and I'm thankful for getting these two experiences before the big one."
Clay Guida made last night's fight a family affair. At one point, "The Carpenter's" mother made her way to the front of the Octagon late in her son's bout with Diego Sanchez to voice support for her son. And exactly how did everyone in sitting distance know that it was Guida's mom?
She donned a shirt that said "Guida's Mom."
"Fight of the Night" bonus, $25,000. Having the support of your mother at Octagon side; priceless.

Problem with your schematic: The pins which TXLED# and RXLED# are on are tied internally to VCCIO with 200k resistors. The LEDs themselves are connected to VCC. Because of this, connecting voltages lower than 3.3V such as 1.8V or 2.8V to VCCIO will not work as they are supposed to because VCCIO is being pulled up to 3V+. So for this schematic it is not possible to have less than 3.3V on TX and RX as they're being pulled up to VCC (minus diode drop).
For anyone wanting 1.8V or 2.8V on VCCIO, to get around this R1 & R2 can be removed (meaning you lose the LEDs) or they can be removed from the pad connecting them to VCC and jumped to VCCIO.
I've tried to use this at 1.8V but there is a voltage always on the VCCIO which pulls up the voltage I try to use there. I remove the jumper to 3.3V (and I've checked, they are no longer connected) but there is still 3.3V on the VCCIO pin. I've done different ways of supplying the 1.8V to VCCIO with a 1.8V regulator with VCC tied to the regulator's input voltage (as the datasheet suggests) or to the 1.8V of the system I'm using these with. Neither one works as the voltage is pulled up to around 3V by the 3.3V already on the pin. I can get the voltage down to about 1.8V by loading the pin down with a 1.2k resistor as a workaround. I'm wondering what I am missing that the VCCIO isn't acting as it is supposed to. I've used many of these boards and they're all the same. However, tying VCCIO to VCC does work as expected.
No public wish lists :(

In contrast, the narrative builds upon the story and incorporates two attributes stories don't:
• 1) Narratives are open-ended, with no resolution because the end is yet to be determined, and
• 2) Narratives invite us all to participate in determining what the outcome will be.
They're participatory and engaging. Hagel went on to share examples of the inherent power of narratives, suggesting that many people throughout time have given their lives for narratives (examples he used were unifiers such as a US National narrative, or dividers such as a Marxist narrative). There's power in a narrative that stories can't replicate.
This got me thinking about how this might serve organizations looking to engage their employees in powerful and meaningful ways. Narratives can help us answer three important questions:
• 1) Why are we here?
• 2) What can we accomplish while we're here?
• 3) How should we connect with one another while we're here?
This is especially helpful in creating consensus and a compelling reason to engage. If you have a compelling, opportunity-based narrative, something along the lines of, "There are huge exciting rewards to be had out there," it aids the organization in adopting a positive mindset, coming together and collaborating to achieve those rewards and deliver the desired outcome.
Hagel's discussion was among the most relevant and thoughtful I attended at this year's SXSW Interactive and it builds upon the work we do and the issues we're seeing in organizations everyday. Not only does it invite us to envision new opportunities in what we do as professionals, but it also invites clients to envision new opportunities in how they communicate internally and drive change from within. I think the concept works because you're motivating a large group to take the initiative and rather than feel stressed or overwhelmed, they feel excited. And that's something I think every organization can get behind.

Style: 37154598 Color Code:
Super soft and comfy thermal in a swingy fit. Intricate embroidery along shoulders, placket and sleeves. Keyhole cutout at the bust. Contrast cuffs and raw hem.
Vintage-inspired silhouettes meet heirloom embellishments. FP X is an exclusive, in-house label.
5'6" - 33.5, 26.5, 36.5 Ordered: Size XS Pros: - 100% cotton, 100% amazing quality - embroidery detail is stunning - flattering silhouette Cons: - Too short, 1.5" longer would have hit better - Bust is odd, a smidge too small in the upper chest - Armhole seems tad high Overall, I think this is such a stand out staple to throw on and look put together or that you actually tried. BUT, I might have to return it because it is 100% and if it's a little too tight and way short in length, it'll shrink even more and I don't think it'll be worth it in the long run because of these two factors.
Love the design but cutr and color is off
The cut is a bit boxy slightly maternity like and makes me look wider than I really am. But I still love the embroidered design which is why I am keeping it. As for the color though, I bought the bright red rust color. When it arrived, the tag says red/rouge but the top is a dull terracotta clay orange! I know it's not my computer because I just read that another reviewer said the same thing.This is an issue that has happened several times with free people clothing that I have ordered. Please fix this problem so that we receive exactly what we see online.
so I ordered this in the greyish brown colour in a size S which fits beautifully. The detailing in the cuffs and the front is great and the style that is tight at the top but more flowy at the bottom of the back is lovely and flattering. Would definitely recommend.
Beautiful but oddly shaped
I wanted to love this top - I really did! The rust color is beautiful, and the embroidery is great. I got it in my usual medium, but the sleeves just weren't long enough, and the fit was strange - tight across the bust, but the flare on the sides came up too high. I think if it were two inches longer in both the torso and the sleeves it would be perfect. Sadly, this one's going back.
I bought this in the black and the red. Very beautifully made. They are very cropped and swingy but I have a short torso so they hit at just the right place on me. The red is more of a muted rust and not near as bright as the picture but still very pretty and I'm pleased with the color. The thermal material is heavy so it hangs perfectly. A+ for these! I may have to get another color!
Lovely top, comfy and versatile
As previous reviewers mentioned, this top is cropped. I am only 5' tall, so this works fine for me. I love Free People tops that are comfy and casual and can be worn every day with jeans, but can also fill in for a dressier look with nicer pants and accessories. These are perfect for my job - I need something I can move in, yet still looks nice. To that end, I usually wear a Small in Free People, but I decided to size up to the Medium for a looser, more swingy fit in this top. Overall a very pretty top with nice detailing. I got the Stone color and it will go with a lot of colors. I like that the color is subtle and the lovely embellishments really stand out.
cute top
I like this top bought it in black do I wish it was a little bit longer Yes, but it is not that short on me because i am only 5ft !in. This style is still good for me as long as it is not boxy I will buy it....
not a flatering shape for all
I agree with the last review. The flair out from the bust line and short length did nothing for me either, made me look very wide in the middle. Stone was as pictured, embroidery had some metallic thread in it which I'm not keen on, had to return it.
Very pretty, very short.
I love this thermal but the fit is way off on me. It's very short waisted and I have a long torso so it does not flatter me. It needs another 2-3 " added to it. When I move in it I have to keep pulling it down as it all bunches up at the bust even tho I am small busted ( I think it is because of the stiff detail there) . It also does this when I sit down and even in the pic it shows the waist beginning right at the bottom of the bust line . It has gorgeous detail and the stone color is exactly as pictured. I love it all except the length and am having to return it. I am sure it will suit someone with a shorter torso, it's a beauty

F. Philip Handy is CEO of Strategic Industries, a portfolio of companies in diversified service and manufacturing businesses. He also is on the board of directors of wire and cable distributor Anixter International, building materials systems provider Owens Corning, and others. Previously, among other positions, he was vice president of Donaldson, Lufkin and Jenrette and CEO of multiple bank holding company Combanks and was CEO and chairman of Chart House Restaurant Group and Rewards Networks.
Harlan Levy: What's your take on the U.S. economy in light of last week's poor U.S. economic data - not to mention the unabated European sovereign debt crisis, with mass demonstrations in Spain and Greece over austerity, and weakness in China and India?
Phil Handy: There's a great deal of uncertainty in the environment. American corporations have plenty of cash in general, but they're waiting to spend it when the environment becomes much clearer. The election has a lot to do with it. Sequestration at the end of the year (Congress' automatic year-end $1.2 trillion in spending cuts from defense and all social safety net programs as well as expiration of the Bush tax cuts) has a lot to do with it. Europe has a lot to do with it.
It's not as bad as 2008 and 2009, but it's characterized by uncertainty, which is not good for investments. So as long as American businesses aren't investing and there's a slowdown in China, and until we get some clarity after the election, and we deal with sequestration at the end of the year, there won't be clear visibility for American businesses to make some investment decisions. That's not good for the economy.
H.L.: Do you see the economy stumbling along through the end of the year?
P.H.: At best.
H.L.: What's your prediction for the U.S. economy next year?
P.H.: We're doing budgets for all of our companies, and we're looking at 1 or 2 percent growth. I see nothing to change that.
If housing starts grow up a little bit next year to 750,000 or 800,000, including multi-family, it should give a little bit more robustness to the housing market, but that's a pretty anemic number, and it's still a long way from the 1.7 million in '07 '08 before we went into recession. And there are still a lot of unemployed construction workers.
H.L.: What are the strong areas of the economy?
P.H.: Technology. We still lead the world in tech. Read the Wall Street Journal about tech start-ups and venture capital ideas. Tech is still an extremely robust part of the economy, which is reflected in San Francisco real estate values and elsewhere where that's strong. It's hard to see any other parts of the U.S. economy that are very robust and exceed the 1 to 2 percent GDP growth.
H.L.: What are the weak areas?
P.H.: Well, capital spending is down. Discretionary capital expenditures are clearly on hold in my judgment. I think the governmental sector, the implosion of regulations - the Dodd-Frank Act - is probably creating the biggest negative impact on American corporations in governance in things like lending money for mortgages, which has a thousand new regulations and 980 pages of Dodd-Frank. That's a real impediment to the American economy.
H.L.: Should banks and investment banks be separated?
P.H.: I always thought the Glass-Steagall Act was not very effective. I think the balance sheets are much more important than what businesses they're in. As long as they're leveraged 20 or 30 to 1 I think you've got some real risk. I've been the CEO of some pure banks, and I promise you they take as much risk as an investment bank does when you have a highly leveraged balance sheet and not much margin for error even in the banking business.
I don't view the elimination of Glass-Steagall as adding that much risk to the situation.
H.L.: What should be done to tamp down on excessive risk?
P.H.: The only thing -- which I'm not suggesting -- is put some mandates on leverage, which is the essence of the risk. But I think government regulation of leverage would be extraordinarily unfortunate. We should honor the historic commitments to shareholders and bondholders, as opposed to the GM bankruptcy situation, where the government basically ran roughshod over legal rights when it reorganized the company. They didn't honor the traditional rights bondholders thought they had when they bought the bonds. The government basically created new rules which should not have been allowed. Anyway, I just don't think the federal government should be passing regulations on the banking industry at this point.
H.L.: The stock market seems to ignore bad news and rally in fits and starts. Will that continue, or is a correction ahead?
P.H.: The stock market is trading at pretty low multiples as it is, which reflect the levels of uncertainty. It started from a low base and is higher, but it is taking into consideration the 1 or 2 percent of GDP growth and has pretty anemic multiples as a consequence. I don't see a big rally or big downward draft or risk in the stock market.
The election will probably weigh on that, but you'd have to say the Obama lead in the polls is probably reflected in the market.
H.L.: Do you think the deadlocked stand-off between Republicans and Democrats in Congress over ways to avoid the fiscal cliff will continue so that we go over the cliff? If so, how bad would it be?
P.H.: It's not clear to me what's good for the country. Sequestration - across-the-board cuts in every single area - is short-term disastrous for the economy, but maybe it will bring us to reality more quickly than if we didn't get there. Pushing forward the debt ceiling and pushing forward the entitlements without regard to what the long-term cost is I personally believe is very bad policy.
Sequestration would be short-term bad, and maybe it would be long-term good.
H.L.: Should the Bush tax cuts be extended for the rich and the rest of us?
P.H.: Raising taxes at this point in time would be the worst thing for the economy imaginable. It's a large part of the uncertainty that's having an impact on the macro-economic situation. I think the tax cuts would be highly beneficial to job growth and to investment, which leads to job growth.
H.L.: Don't you think it would lower revenues and greatly inflate the deficit?
P.H.: No. Hardly. I think we can take a lesson from Reagan tax cuts and do just the opposite.

By Paul Kennedy
The motivation of the Seattle Sounders' owners, Joe Roth, Adrian Hanauer, Drew Carey and Paul Allen, for signing Clint Dempsey
was always clear. They have the money to pay him and the desire to add an established star to help take the Sounders over the top after four failed postseasons.
But just what is
the motivation of the other 18 owners in MLS in chipping together the $9 million transfer fee to pay Tottenham so Dempsey can return to MLS and beat their clubs playing for Seattle?
Grant Wahl's superb account of how the Dempsey deal went down for SI.com, a source told him the Sounders are paying Dempsey his $24 million in salary over four seasons
-- the highest annual salary in league history -- while MLS is paying the $9 transfer fee -- a characterization, Wahl reported, "a league official disputed without providing details."
isn't like MLS has $9 million sitting in a bank account somewhere, waiting to spend it on a deal like Dempsey's. But MLS does have a capital fund available following the sale of a piece of Soccer
United Marketing for strategic moves like MLS+, its new media company, and the retention of "core players" like national team starters Graham Zusi
and Matt Besler, whose contracts were renegotiated to make it worth their while to remain in the league.
If the Dempsey deal was indeed
underwritten by MLS, it fits into the category of strategic moves the league needs to make. It isn't a coincidence that Dempsey's signing was announced with 72 hours of Commissioner Don Garber's announcement that the league will expand from 20 to 24 teams by 2020.
It's all part of MLS's drive to show it is committed to building an
even bigger league and attracting bigger stars as it enters critical negotiations this year with its media partners on new deals beginning with the 2015 season.
MLS is a growing business.
Expansion news has been in the forefront for months now as NYCFC was announced as the league's 20th franchise, David Beckham toured South Florida in search of a
home, and Orlando City lobbied to finalize its stadium deal. Just a week ago, the Hunt Sports Group announced the sale of the Columbus Crew to San Francisco energy investor Anthony
Precourt for a figure of $68 million, Forbes reported.
Committing to four more teams over seven years allows for managed growth and will get the league four quality expansion teams out of the dozen or so markets that are serious candidates.
The $68 million would be a league record for the sale of an existing club and just $2 million less than the reported $70 million Red Sox and Liverpool John
Henry bought the Boston Globe for. But that would be on the lower end of valuations for MLS clubs, given the Crew ranks 14th out of 19 clubs in terms of its average attendance and the
population of its metropolitan area and it plays in the oldest and cheapest of the soccer-specific stadiums built around the league.
Demographics are in MLS's favor. Those in the 18-to-35
demographics are the first generation to be big soccer fans but they aren't big television viewers and they certainly are not big on sitting around on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon and watching
sports like their fathers might.
Television remains MLS's Achilles' heel. Roth said as much, telling Wahl:
"Listen, our [national]
television ratings are not good. And any observer of any sport in this country knows television drives the ratings. The only two things that can drive the ratings are overall better play and star
power. If you can get both, then our ratings will go up. It's not the networks' fault. They've gotta have something to sell. And I think this signing will be helpful to everybody in the
In this day and age, only the NFL can draw fans to watch a game simply for the sake of watching a game. Baseball ratings are on an inexorable decline, while the NBA finals
drew well only because of the presence of an icon in Lebron James.
The lack of soccer icons, let alone big-name stars with national appeal, makes
it impossible to pull in MLS fans on national television for games involving anything but their own teams. Will MLS's ratings double because Dempsey and the Sounders are playing on national
television? Perhaps not, but Dempsey's presence won't hurt.
The problem, of course, is that there aren't many Clint Dempseys out there for MLS to
lure back. The only other Americans abroad in his class are Jozy Altidore and perhaps Michael Bradley, and both won't be
returning home for four or five more years. As Roth pointed out, Mexican Javier Hernandez would be the only other player who might fit the right makeup in terms
of cost and appeal to attempt to lure to MLS. (No one sitting around MLS's board of governors is floating the idea of paying the $780 million Barcelona president Sandro Rosell says Lionel Messi is available for.)
Shelling out $9 million for Dempsey isn't going to trigger a run on the money in
MLS's Providence Equity Partners fund because other deals don't make sense. Or look at it another way. Spread $9 million over 19 or 20 clubs over four years and we're talking about roughly $125,000 a
year per club. That will only pay for a top reserve or perhaps a couple of academy coaches these days. That's a small investment if the Deuce deal is another chip MLS can bring to the bargaining table
with its media partners.
And to the question of why let Dempsey go to the Sounders? Well, he had to go somewhere.

Senator Daniel Inouye of Hawaii went to Washington at the birth of his state in 1959. He served two terms in the House of Representatives and was first elected to the Senate in 1962. He was the first Japanese-American elected to both the House and the Senate.
After the death of Robert C. Byrd in June 2010, Inouye became the Senate's senior member and president pro tempore, making him third in the line of presidential succession after the vice-president and speaker of the House.
The courtly, soft-spoken Senator Inouye (pronounced in-NO-ay) often deferred publicly to his outspoken and ambitious colleagues but funneled billions of dollars to strengthen his state's economy.
In 1973, as a member of the Senate Watergate committee, which investigated illegal activities in President Nixon's 1972 re-election campaign, he won wide admiration for patient but persistent questioning of the former attorney general John N. Mitchell and three White House aides.
In 1976, after revelations of abuse of power by the CIA, the FBI and other agencies, Inouye was appointed chairman of the Senate committee on intelligence, established to come up with reforms and monitor clandestine operations.
His reputation for integrity then made him an ideal choice as chairman of the Senate committee that investigated the Iran-contra affair in 1987 and confirmed that high-ranking American officials had secretly sold weapons to Iran to support rebels fighting the left-wing Sandinista government in Nicaragua.
Daniel Ken Inouye was born in Honolulu on September 7, 1924, the eldest of four children of Hyotaro and Kame Imagaga Inouye, who had immigrated from Japan. He graduated from McKinley High School, enrolled in premedical studies at the University of Hawaii and was a volunteer at Pearl Harbor in 1941.
In 1943, when the US Army lifted its ban on Japanese-Americans, Inouye joined the new 442nd Regimental Combat Team, the first all-nisei volunteer unit. On April 21, 1945, he led an assault near San Terenzo, Italy. Although shot in the stomach, he ran forward and destroyed one emplacement with a hand grenade and another with his submachine gun. He was crawling towards the third when enemy fire nearly severed his right arm. Stumbling forward, he silenced resistance with gun bursts before being hit in the leg and collapsing unconscious.
He lost his arm, spent two years in army hospitals and was discharged as a captain in 1947.
He was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross, upgraded to the Medal of Honor, America's highest military award, by President Clinton in 2000. Inouye graduated from the University of Hawaii in 1950 and received his law degree from George Washington University in 1952. In 1967 he published a book about his early life, Journey to Washington.
He married Margaret Sinobu Awamura in 1949. She died in 2006 and in 2008 he married Irene Hirano. Daniel Inouye is survived by Irene, his son Daniel, stepdaughter Jennifer and a granddaughter.

Arizona OUI Defense Lawyer
Operating Under the Influence (OUI) is a crime similar to DUI, but applied to the operators of watercraft. Much like DUI, the legal limit for operating a watercraft is .08 BAC. A blood alcohol content of greater than .08 can result in the arrest of the operator, as well as serious repercussions.
If you or someone you love has been charged with an OUI, Thompson & Volquardsen, P.C., may be able to help you. Our experienced Arizona OUI defense lawyers understand how important your case is to you, and we may be able to help you overcome the charges you are facing. To discuss the details with us and learn more about what we may be able to do to help, please contact us today by calling 602-510-9999.
Experienced Arizona OUI Defense
Under Arizona law, the operators of watercraft can have no more than a .08 BAC. During many months of the year, Arizona police use "saturation patrols" and checkpoints to monitor the blood alcohol content of boaters. Officers in saturation patrols or stationed at OUI checkpoints will run tests on boaters to ensure that they are not over the legal limit.
If you are convicted of an OUI, the punishments could be serious. Some of the most common include:
- Fines of up to $2,500 plus surcharges;
- Alcohol or drug screening and treatment;
- Jail time of up to six months.
These punishments can increase if other prerequisites are present, such as a BAC in excess of .15 or a prior conviction.
Contact Us
If you or someone you love has been charged with an OUI, it is important to act quickly and aggressively in order to safeguard his or her rights and protect his or her future.

Schizophrenia is as mysterious as it is devastating. No one knows just what happens within the brain to cause the disease's characteristic hallucinations, delusions and cognitive deficits. Now researchers have identified a small region in the hippocampus where an early increase in activity—before symptoms become marked—might represent the beginning of the disease process. The results could lead to new targets for drug treatment and new ideas for strategies to prevent the disease.
Schizophrenia is often preceded by a "prodromal" phase, when individuals begin to exhibit symptoms but fall short of the criteria for a psychiatric diagnosis. They might, for instance, withdraw socially, or hear their names in the sound of the wind rather than an outright hallucination. Some studies suggest that treatment—including medication—during these early stages may delay the onset of full schizophrenia, reduce its severity or prevent it altogether.
But not all prodromal individuals go on to develop the disease—just 35 percent within 2.5 years, says Thomas McGlashan, a professor of psychiatry at Yale University who works with such patients. In the face of this uncertainty, most clinicians believe the risks of side effects from treatment outweigh potential benefits and have adopted a conservative wait-and-see approach. "For the 'false positives,' which might be the majority, you'd be unnecessarily giving powerful agents that can have severe side effects," McGlashan says.
To investigate why the prodromal phase progresses to schizophrenia in only one out of three patients, researchers from Columbia University used a high-resolution variant of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to compare the brains of 18 people with established schizophrenia with 18 healthy controls. In the disease group, they found increased blood flow, suggesting higher levels of activity, in the orbitofrontal cortex and in a small section—the CA1 subfield—of the hippocampus. In the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, meanwhile, blood flow decreased.

Event Navigation
Arizona Queer Archives ~ Building Our Histories Together
Community Conversation || Tucson
Tuesday, 22 October 2013
7 – 8 pm
Whistle Stop Depot, 127 W. 5th Street, Tucson, AZ
For more information, please visit: bit.ly/AzQueerArchives
Contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com
Join us to discuss how we will build a statewide archive to collect, preserve, make accessible, and exhibit our complex and diverse LGBTQ histories. The Arizona Queer Archives is an archive about, for, and by Arizona's LGBTQ peoples.
Questions to consider:
• How might you participate in the AQA?
• What passions, skills & expertise could you offer?
• What collections already exist throughout the state?
• Who has been documenting our communities' histories?
• How do we make this a statewide archive?
• How do we build an archive that resists further marginalizing parts of our communities?
• What histories would you like to see exhibited? Where?
About the Arizona Queer Archives
The Arizona Queer Archives is the state of Arizona's Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer (LGBTQ) archive being established through the Institute for LGBT Studies at the University of Arizona. We are developing an archive that will benefit us today as we collect many histories, stories, movements, and then work with communities to engage with our collections in new and creative ways. We want an archive that is flexible and playful and one that is a living and breathing story of our lives.
What does QUEER mean for us?
The Arizona Queer Archives uses and pulls the verb "to queer" into the ways we will go about collecting, preserving, and making AQA collections accessible as we work closely with diverse LGBTQ communities throughout Arizona to develop an archive that is for, by, and about us. This work begins with a participatory ethic that permeates our principles, processes, and productions.
This is where you come in!
Alliance Fund of Southern Arizona, Arizona Humanities Council, Tucson Pima Arts Council (TPAC), Kresge Art in P.L.A.C.E. fund through TPAC, Institute for LGBT Studies, Southwest Feminists Reunite, Whistle Stop Depot, and many individual donors along the way. Thank you!

Where To Find Porsche Auto Parts
Porsche is just another auto maker, or so some say. The truth is that Porsche uses processes and components that aren't found on other cars. Even the Italian exotics lack the extreme precision found in Porsche's products. This makes the parts issue a difficult one for mechanics and owners.
Mechanically, Porsche shares no parts or technology with any other maker. Parts can sometimes be swapped between different Porsche models, but not with other manufacturers. This has to do with the concept of excellence, a word frequently used with Porsche cars. The engineers at Porsche practice it religiously. They have designed and evolved the car and its philosophy for sixty years. The concept is simple: no part is included that doesn't enhance the car's performance. What owners call excellence is actually thoroughness, and closer to the practices of the aircraft industry than to the automotive world. This means there are no half-measures to be taken in the repair of these cars; dealer-sourced parts, or good used ones, are a must.
Porsche dealers are very good about carrying a complete supply of needed parts, and their network makes anything available within a day. These are complex cars, and have so much technology crammed under their sheet metal that a non-specialist mechanic is not going to be able to deal with it. An example is a good body shop that repaired a 911 rocker panel which had been squashed against a curb. They didn't know that there is a large-diameter pipe behind the rocker panel that carries oil to the cooler, and it had been collapsed. A few miles down the road from the body shop the engine seized up, totally ruined because the owner had not taken it to a specialist.
So, when it comes to parts for a Porsche, the only source is Porsche or a reliable specialist salvage yard. The exception is high-performance parts, and we know that they are sold without warranty for a very good reason. Porsche ownership is not to be undertaken lightly or on the cheap, but it is hugely rewarding.

Plan for 2012-2013 The CSL Council will continue to provide guidance and recommendations about how service-learning can support the Department's and the Board's goals. The CSL Council will 1) identify examples where service-learning is being used and make recommendations for furthering the use of service-learning as a strategy to support high school graduation initiatives and in the implementation of MassCore; and 2) make recommendations for using service-learning at all grade levels to support students' development of the knowledge, skills and attitudes needed to be college and career ready.
