Role of autopilot eyed in Asiana air crash at San Francisco airport
AP Wednesday, July 10, 2013, 12:01 am TWN
WASHINGTON--The crash landing of a South Korean airliner in San Francisco has revived concerns that airline pilots get so little opportunity these days to fly without the aid of sophisticated automation that their stick-and-rudder skills are eroding.
Federal and local officials on Monday addressed the possibility that the Chinese girl, who along with a classmate comprised the crash's two fatalities, might have been killed accidentally on the runway as the first firefighters raced to the scene.
"One of our fire apparatus may have come into contact with one of our two victims," Fire Chief Joanne Hayes-White said during a news conference called to highlight the heroic efforts of first responders. "I assure you, we are looking closely at this."
What is known is that Asiana Airlines Flight 214 crashed short of its target runway on Saturday at San Francisco International Airport in broad daylight in near-ideal weather conditions. The Boeing 777's engines are still being examined, but they appear to have been receiving power normally. And the flight's pilots didn't report any mechanical issues or other problems.
But the plane was traveling far too slowly in the last half-minute before the crash, slow enough to trigger an automated warning of an impending aerodynamic stall.
The wide-bodied jet should have been traveling at 158 mph (254 kph) as it crossed the runway threshold. Instead, the speed dropped to as low as 118 mph (190 kph) before the plane struck a rocky seawall short of the runway. The plane careened briefly and then pancaked down.
The pilot, Lee Gang-guk, had a lot of flying experience but was still new to the plane, having clocked only 43 hours at the controls. He was supposed to be flying under the supervision of another experienced pilot. There were two more pilots on board the Seoul-to-San Francisco flight, as is typical on long flights during which two pilots rest while two fly, and then swap out.
Lee was also flying without the aid of a key part of the airport's instrument landing system, which provides pilots with a glide slope to follow so that the plane isn't too high or low. He was also new to the airport.
And he was manually flying the plane with the autopilot shut off, which other pilots said is not unusual in the last stage of a landing, although some airlines prefer that their pilots use automated landing systems. Still unclear is whether the auto throttle, which regulates fuel to the engines to control speed, was shut off or perhaps unintentionally left in an idle mode.
That might account for the slow speed, but it wouldn't explain why the pilots didn't recognize their peril and act in time to avoid the crash, pilots and aviation safety experts said.
Procedures at most airlines would require all four pilots be present in the cockpit during the landing, which is the most critical phase of flight, pilots said. The NTSB hasn't disclosed whether all four were present.
Rory Kay, a training captain for a major airline who flies internationally, said, "We're all wondering the same thing — why no reaction?"
"If your last dozen landings were autopilot landings and here you are faced with nothing but visual (cues) to deal with, your rust factor would be greater," said Cass Howell, a former military pilot and human factors expert at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida. "Too much automation can undermine your flying skills."

I'm looking to create a country map made from various quotes, phrases, words (etc). The words will appear on screen as a person speaks them (green screen movie will be provided for your reference) – and slowly build up the image of the country behind them. The project could be completed as a template for AE5.5 or sent as a finished product (including the .mov which will be supplied).
More discussion is clearly needed but if you'd like to inbox me your details, an example of your work and an estimated quote I'd be happy to get in touch. We're UK based, so anything supplied would need to be in PAL not NTSC – I do not have trapcode, hence my asking for quotes. If it was supplied as a project either that comp would need to be prerendered or no trapcode should be used.Hope I haven't scared you all away! firstname.lastname@example.com
not sure I understood the details, please contact me from my profile page with additional info, I can help if budget is adequate

Early 2011 to Late 2011 Changes
Well I canceled my SRT8 order because they are smoking something to charge $63K for a Jeep.
I ended up trading my 2011 Limited for a 2011 Overland and got a steal of a deal. With the incentives and USAA discount (nearly $7K off sticker) I was able trade my Limited with 12K miles for a brand new Overland without paying a cent.
From my early build Limited 8/10 to the new overland build date 6/11 I noticed surprisingly a lot of changes. Maybe my June build is really a 2012 in disguise :D
My opinion on the RHR 730N versus the 430N. Personally I like the garmin nav better, it is much more intuitive and allows custom POI's to be loaded. I also like how the 430N has the sound equalizer set to each audio source, the 730N only allows one setting. The 430N offers blazing fast feedback to touch and is overall much quicker. However, I do like having real time traffic and travel link that you can't get on the 430N.
Also the air suspension is a much smoother ride than the regular suspension.
I am stoked with my steal of a deal, so if anyone is on the fence about a late 2011 versus a 2012, get the 2011 for the extreme savings while you still can.
Re: Early 2011 to Late 2011 Changes
Sounds great! I havent been to a dealership to look at the late 2011 or early 2012 but assume its very similar with minute differences as you mentioned. That tailgate beep is annoying.. lol
I do have a question on the cost less trade. Did you not use the USAA discount on the limited? Its surprising your able to get so much in the trade that you can turn around and buy a brand new overland, there arent many incentives still. Else the USAA discount is much better now? I have no experience with USAA but heard its similar to the thread lightly discount and 1% or better below invoice.
Very cool though and glad to hear about it!
Re: Early 2011 to Late 2011 Changes
I wasn't able to get any discounts on the Limited as it was to new for any dealer to budge. However they did give me what I owed on my limited which made it so much better. I am not sure how they are going to sell it with the discounts that are being given right now. The USAA discount in my area was invoice minus $2,600 plus an additional $1,000 USAA discount and the $1,000 Jeep incentive right now. That is much better than my tread lightly invoice + 1%.

Re: Early 2011 to Late 2011 Changes
Re: Early 2011 to Late 2011 Changes
Two things:
1. I wish I could make the tailgate beeping sound quieter (I've heard the softer Durango's).
2. My 730N RER does allow me to set different volumes for Radio, Nav, and U-Connect.
NB my build date is Aug. 2010.
Re: Early 2011 to Late 2011 Changes
Re: Early 2011 to Late 2011 Changes
Re: Early 2011 to Late 2011 Changes
My 430N allowed different volumes for NAV, U-Connect, and Radio, but it also allowed me to set different bass and treble levels for each source (CD, SAT, FM, AM, Media, and bluetooth) which I miss.

I picked up a 2011 Overland in late June for 42K. It has Rear set entertainment and the adaptive cruise control. Sticker was 46k. I used Chrysler affiliate which brought it down to invoice -1%. They had to dealer trade so that was the only deal I got. It didn't seem too bad.

STUTTGART, GERMANY – Rafael Nadal will bounce back from his shock first-round exit at Wimbledon in time for the U.S. Open next month, his coach insisted on Thursday.
The 27-year-old French Open champion suffered his earliest exit at a major when he was stunned by Belgium's Steve Darcis on the first day of Wimbledon.
His straight sets defeat to Darcis, ranked 135th in the world, led to speculation about the impact of the clay-court season on a previous injury, an inflammation of the knee cap, which curtailed Nadal's 2012 campaign.
But his uncle and coach Toni has insisted that the 12-time Grand Slam champion will ease himself back into his training regime in time for the U.S. Open, which begins on Aug. 26.
"Rafa will come back. He has no fear of the (hard court) surface — he has nothing more to lose," Toni Nadal told SID, an AFP subsidiary, at the ATP tournament in Stuttgart.
"Currently Rafa is doing physical training, but no racquet workouts. The break is important — he has played enough."
According to his uncle, Rafael Nadal, who is at home in Mallorca, will return to the tour on Aug. 5 when he plays at the Montreal Masters, then Cincinnati, which starts Aug. 12, before the U.S. Open in New York.
Prior to Wimbledon, Nadal had reached the final of all nine tournaments he had entered since his return from a seven-month injury layoff, winning seven of them — including his eighth French Open title and the Masters in Indian Wells.

The Italian next faces fifth-seeded Spaniard Lourdes Dominguez Lino, who beat Nastassja Burnett of Italy 7-5, 4-6, 6-3.
Third-seeded Kristina Mladenovic was eliminated after a second-round upset by Estrella Cabeza Candela of Spain. The 20-year-old Frenchwoman lost 6-3, 2-6, 7-6 (8-6).
Candela faces Renata Voracova in the quarterfinals.
Fourth-seeded Klara Zakopalova of the Czech Republic was safely through after beating Karin Knapp of Italy 6-3, 4-6, 6-4 in a match which lasted 2 hours, 40 minutes.

Claims send bag makers to FTC's doghouse
Being a dog owner isn't just about walks in the park. Your furry pal needs supplies too, like nutritious food, safe squeaky toys and waste bags for cleanup. Chances are, you rely on ads and product labels when you shop, so it's important they tell the real story. The FTC sets standards for truth in advertising, and holds companies accountable for the claims they make to ensure you get sound information.
The FTC recently sent letters warning 20 marketers of dog waste bags that their green claims about the bags may be deceptive. The companies claim the bags are biodegradable, but most pet waste goes to landfills or incinerators — places where the bags won't degrade. Some marketers say their bags are compostable, but most municipal composting centers don't accept pet waste. And composting pet waste at home isn't practical for most of us; it takes special procedures to insure harmful pathogens are destroyed. The FTC advised the companies to review their marketing materials and tell us what they'll do about the claims.
You can read more about going green, and learn what biodegradable and compostable mean when they're used in advertising.
the ftc is alsome,keep up the good work
How do we find out which bags are good? Would you tell us?
When will you guys make it easier for me to share an alert with friends using social media? With Other government sites, it is a one step process,,, Why not with Consumer FTC?

(Pittsburg, Kan.) —The sixth-ranked Jennies erased a four-point deficit with 1:25 left in overtime to shock the Pittsburg State Gorillas, 88-86 at the John Lance Arena on Thursday night.
Strong performances from seniors BreAnna Lewis (26 points) and Keuna Flax (25 points, 15 rebounds) helped the Jennies (12-1, 6-0 MIAA) extend their winning streak to seven games and reach the program's first 6-0 conference start since the 1990-91 season. Lewis' 26 points set a new season high, while Flax picked up her fourth double-double this season, while establishing a new career best with 15 boards.
UCM fell behind early, 17-10 less than six minutes into the contest. A 9-2 run, led by five points from Lewis, knotted the game at 19-19 with 12:29 remaining in the opening half.
The Gorillas (10-4, 3-1 MIAA) responded with a 9-2 stretch of their own to go back up by seven, but Flax collected seven points in under four minutes en route to a 9-3 run by UCM to cut the deficit to 31-30 with 4:38 left before halftime.
The two foes exchanged leads three times before a tip-in by Antqunita Reed evened the score at 35 apiece. The Jennies ended the half on a 7-3 run following a pair of jumpers from Flax and Prairie Chief and a three-pointer from Lewis, to take a 42-38 lead into intermission.
UCM gained some separation, taking an eight-point lead in the first two minutes of the second half, but Pittsburg State chipped away, cutting the Jennies' lead to one following a jumper by Lizzy Jeronimus with 12:10 left in regulation.
The Jennies' lead ballooned back to seven over the next 2:41, capped off by a jumper from Revonnia Howard, putting UCM back in the driver's seat with a 62-55 lead. However, the Gorillas fought back over the next 4:57, slicing the Jennies' lead to two points at 66-64,
With under 30 seconds in regulation, the Jennies held a five-point lead, but Lewis fouled Brigit Hesser, who made the first of two free throws. The second free throw was no good, but Hesser rebounded her own missed shot and found Cathy Brugman who splashed a three-pointer, pulling the Gorillas to within 75-74 with nine seconds left.
Pittsburg State re-gained possession and the lead after Lewis turned the ball over to Y'Cedria Devers who was fouled by Flax. Devers split a pair of free throws to even the game at 75-75, sending the contest into overtime.
The Jennies fell behind 82-77 in the extra session, but pulled to within one at 82-81 after a three-pointer by Lewis and a free throw by Winkelmann. Brugman scored four quick points to help give the Gorillas an 86-82 lead with 1:25 remaining.
On the ensuing Jennies' possession, Quinnecia Twine missed a three-pointer, but Breonna Embray grabbed the offensive board and sank a three from the top of the circle, cutting the Gorillas' lead to 86-85 with 42 seconds left.
Flax blocked Brugman's shot on the next Pittsburg State possession and was fouled by Brugman with 14 seconds on the clock. She knocked down two free throws to put UCM ahead, 87-86.
The Jennies made the game's final defensive stop following a missed turnaround jumper by Jeronimus with three seconds remaining in overtime. Lewis, who grabbed the final rebound and was fouled, split the pair of free throws, securing the 88-86 road win for UCM.
The Jennies are off to their best road start (5-1) since the 2004-05 season when they won their first seven games away from the Multipurpose Building. The team is off to their second-straight 12-1 start.
UCM will make its way to Emporia to play the Lady Hornets (15-0, 6-0 MIAA) on Saturday, Jan. 11 for a 5:30 p.m. tipoff, setting up a battle for sole-possession of first-place in the MIAA.

Who is the real Joseph Muscat?
The pre-Christmas bombshell that rocked the Labour Party by the sudden dismissal of Anġlu Farrugia as party deputy leader for parliamentary affairs by Joseph Muscat raised a lot of issues. The electorate has every right to seek clarification about them before they decide which way to vote in the March 9 election.
I am one of those columnists who have been a fierce critic of Farrugia mainly because of his uncertain past as a police officer of the Labour Government of the 1970s and 1980s. Once, after writing in this paper, I had a phone call by one of Farrugia's canvassers who asked me to meet him as he wanted to correct my image of Farrugia. We never met but I had asked him to use his democratic right to reply to me. He never did. Farrugia should have been dismissed years ago and not so late in the day when the election campaign is about to begin.
But, then, why only Farrugia? Why not those who, when they served in a Labour Government acted like the three monkeys who saw no evil, heard no evil and did no evil? These individuals are still treasured and, presumably, trusted by Muscat and are probably lined up to become ministers should Labour win the election.
It is no wonder that Labour's critics like myself saw in Muscat's act of Farrugia's summary dismissal a good excuse for repositioning the Labour leadership in the wake of Simon Busuttil's election as deputy leader of the Nationalist Party.
But things are not all that clear. Muscat himself clouded the waters by almost begging Farrugia to stand as Labour candidate at the next election. The reasoning is totally illogical. So a deputy leader is dismissed because, so we are told, he attributed political motives to a court sentence given by a magistrate but the same person is welcome as a member of Parliament in a governing PL. There is no doubt in my mind that Muscat's invitation to Farrugia is simply a poor way of preventing too much blood letting in the PL so close to an election.
Political leaders who aim to lead the country should be made of sterner stuff.
Muscat has proved to be both enigmatic and inconsistent in this instance as he, indeed, has been in the case of Mr Justice Lino Farrugia Sacco. All his statements about this affair can be summed up in assuring the public that he and the Labour Opposition will abide by whatever is suggested by the Commission for the Administration of Justice.
Muscat wants us to believe that he is not aware that this same commission had, years ago, unequivocally censured this judge for involving himself in the Malta Olympics Committee against all ethical considerations.
What had kept Muscat for years from taking the initiative and call a spade a spade rather than involve himself in inconsistent posturing? Political expediency? The electorate has a right to know.
Of course, I am biased and I had never hid my Nationalist pedigree to all readers here and elsewhere. So I can say that I am not surprised that Muscat is found ducking and diving when faced with sudden real political problems.
He did so in his past when he worked hard to prevent Malta from joining the European Union and he did the same when he claimed that the Partnership had won the EU referendum. More recently, he even had suggested to Lawrence Gonzi that Malta should have followed the Cyprus economic model to overcome the troubles that surround us. We all know where Cypus is today and where we are.
Muscat is still playing at politics. How can he expect Labour spokesmen to engage sensibly in public dialogue when they are not allowed to argue in favour of Labour's upcoming policies which he insists to keep under wraps for fear of being torn apart by their opponents? Muscat himself is giving the electorate the impression that he has no confidence in his own policies.
We need political leaders who mean no when they say no and not may be.
The Farrugia and Farrugia Sacco affairs have revealed to the electorate that Muscat was found wanting at all crucial moments of national import. He lacks clarity and decisiveness. Not Prime Ministerial material.

This sugar bowl is 5.25 inches tall and 4 inches across. The pattern is called Butterfly Handles because the handles are shaped like large butterflies. The veins in the wings are visible and the body of the butterfly is clearly deigned. Each handle is about 2.25 inches long.
There is clearly a ledge on the inside of the bowl for a lid. There are two obvious mold lines on the side. There is a wide clear band at the top and another clear band toward the bottom. The section between the two bands has an etch which looks like fern leaves in a flower pot. There is a swag of leaves beneath the potted fern leaves. The etch is on both the front and back of the dish.
This piece was made by Aetna Glass Company, Bellaire Ohio c. 1883. Aetna was in production 1880-1889. There are no chips or cracks. The bowl has been black light tested and fluoresces under the UV. There is no glass discoloration.

"We really appreciate it, honestly," Roach said. "Stuff like that goes a long way when you get out."
Family is forever, and that holds true with Northwestern. Roach and other former Wildcats remain connected with the program, maintaining close relationships with old friends.
Days prior to the start of training camp, Roach's phone buzzed with a text message. It was Pat Fitzgerald, wishing him luck for the upcoming season.
"It's not a strange thing to get a text from Coach Fitz out of the blue, just to say he's proud of us," added Roach.
Northwestern became home for New Jersey native Corey Wootton. During his five years in college, he made many friends and even met his wife. It was too perfect when the defensive end was drafted by the Chicago Bears.
Wootton and Roach matched well with the Bears organization. It stems from the culture created with Northwestern. Both are built on a family foundation, sharing similar values.
"The Bears organizations stands for everything that Northwestern does—character, integrity, being sound football players," said Wootton.
A close culture is fostered, creating a positive locker room. It's how head coach Lovie Smith maximizes his talent, similar to Fitzgerald.
"It's a great place to play," Roach said of the Chicago organization. "I have no desire to try to leave and go to another team. Our locker room here, it's as close as it can get to a college locker room. There are a lot of humble guys that know when to have fun and when to play."
The Northwestern connection grew stronger when Sherrick McManis was traded to the Bears from Houston. It was another natural addition, and has paid great dividends.
"He's exceeded our expectations,'' Bears special-teams coordinator Dave Toub said. ''We saw him on tape, and we saw that he was a good gunner and he filled a need for us. That's what we've expected. Once we got him, we started realizing what kind of take-off and get-off he has. We felt like we could use him as a rusher."
The three Wildcats teamed up for an unforgettable moment this season.
Tennessee Titans punter Brett Kern aligned near his team's own end zone, waiting for the snap. The Bears countered with 11 rushers on the line. Wootton lined up toward the right side of the line; Roach and McManis were in stance next to each other.
"Coach Toub is a genius when it comes to scheming teams,'' McManis said of the play. "We trust in everything he does.''
Both Wootton and McManis were focused on their lanes, but Roach saw the play unfold before his eyes.
"I saw it all happen, I was right next to Sherrick," recalled Roach. "I was in the gap right next to him. I saw him come through the gap. I knew he was free. As soon as I heard the double pop, I knew it was going to be a block."
The ball bounced toward the end zone and Wootton was in pursuit. He scooped it and pushed toward the goal line, seeking his first touchdown since high school.
"I knew I didn't have too far to go, I had five yards or so," Wootton said. "I was not getting tackled before the end zone, I wasn't letting that happen."
The three returned to the sidelines feeling pure jubilation. A coach remarked, "It's the Northwestern connection!" It has been a natural fit.
"We look out for each other, take care of each other, and it was the same at Northwestern," said Roach. "Teammates take care of teammates."

Bolt Hangers
After a long run-out, it's always a welcome sight -- a fat bolt and a Stainless Steel Bolt Hanger. S.S. Hangers are designed for use at belay stations, protection points (where no other option exists) and for rescue and rigging work. The clip-in point is large enough to accommodate two carabiners. Enviro Bolt Hangers are powder-coated to blend in with the rock as are the Rap Hangers. Designed specifically for belay and rappel stations, the Rap Hangers allow the rope to be threaded directly through the anchor for lowering or rappelling; they are unquestionably the best and lowest visual impact anchor out there.

Kellan Lutz Is An H&M Hottie
I guess the photo shoot went well. Kellan Lutz took part in a shoot for clothing brand H&M in Hollywood yesterday afternoon.
While Kellan Lutz appeared quite reserved as he arrived at Bardot in Hollywood, he was all smiles as he showed off his chiseled arms in a muscle tank upon departing.
Here's to hoping that the company is launching a new line of underwear.

Palavras-chave: Casa de praia
Upon arrival we immediately knew we had made the right choice - the house is immaculate, everything you could want or need, the beach is so wonderful, and the whole vacation home community was so peaceful. We went to the beach everyday, even the grey days, we did family art around the big kitchen table, we sat on the deck and the wind kept the bugs at bay, the one chilly, rainy night we put the fire on and listened to music, we sat in the sun room in the morning and drank our coffee and drank in the view. We had a campfire, we read books, we flied kites, had a catch, slept in, got up early, ate great food, we never used the television once - one week was not enough. Kensington is a hop away for groceries and supplies, Cavendish is right there to fulfill any tourist needs - BUT WHY WOULD YOU GO - the beach here is 1000X's better and we would regularly comment "WHOA beach is packed today!" - with all 50 other people. I kayaked one of the calm days and saw a flower pot (similar to Fundy) to the left and so we hiked/swam around the point to get a closer look and it was a great little adventure. NEW POTATOES!!!!! Stop at the little veg stands (have cash) and definitely, definitely buy some strawberry and grand marnier jam from the PEI Preserve Company to have on your morning toast. We would go back tomorrow!!!
We just came back from a week at Ron & Jackie's beach house and it was phenomenal. The house was very well equipped and in incredibly good condition, and so clean! The beach that it is on is fairly private, never crowded and has a little river going through it used as a wading pool for kids.
We were 5 adults and two young kids (2 and 7 months) and we had tons of space. Lots of outdoor space as well.
We would definitely come back again!
We spent a month at Ron and Jackie's beach house. The location was perfect, close enough to Charlottetown, very close to Kensington (for groceries, restaurants, pubs and the liquor store). The Confederation Trail (if you are into cycling runs through Kensinton which is 14 KM away. I rode the trail on my road bike and it was fine. The house was immaculate, spacious bedrooms, well equipped and everything was in perfect condition. These wasn't one thing that we missed. The beach is fabulous and just the right distance away. I loved to sit in the sun room with the windows open and hear the waves crashing on the shore while watching the fishing boats in the morning. The house is very homey and within minutes, we felt like we "lived" there. I would love to return to PEI some day and I would NOT hesitate to stay at Ron and Jackie's beach house. It was so worth every penny!!!!
the title says it all! ron and jackie's beach house was worry-free and perfect for our week's stay in PEI. they were extremely responsive for any questions we had, and the house was neat and tidy when we arrived. we spent mornings lounging with coffee in the front sunroom (my favorite room in the house), walked to the beach, cooked our own meals with fresh local produce and fish... it was great. we had never been to PEI before, and after driving around most of the island, we liked this area the best. park corner, you won our hearts - we'll be back!
The house was perfect! Lovely view, close to the beach, and had everything that we needed for a relaxing, delightful week.
Our trip to PEI was absolutely magical.......the Celtic Cape.....couldn't have been nicer......the pictures truly do not do it justice, the cottage was immaculate, everything you would ever need has been thoughtfully supplied by the owners, Ron and Jackie and I mean EVERYTHING, nothing has been missed...........the added bonus of the new sun room addition was amazing, we spent most of our time there watching the ocean and just taking in the view....the wonderful breeze that came through those windows was so enjoyable.......we were a family of 6 adults and our two year old grandchild........tons of room, big kitchen table to enjoy our family dinners....a quick walk to the beach was also very enjoyable.....Summerside was a 15-20 minute drive to pick up our groceries etc for the week....loved being able to do our laundry and have it hung out on the line to dry in the Park Corner breeze!!!!..Charlottetown approx. an hour drive, but worth the trip if you have never been.......Cavendish is very commercialized.......so it can be skipped....we would highly recommend this cottage to anyone who just wants to get away and relax......Ron and Jackie were so amazing to deal with.......and we appreciate that they shared their beautiful piece of paradise with us.......many wonderful memories, not soon to be forgotten.
Longos dias na praia a apenas um passeio para fora da porta, caiaques de surf, golfe, pesca em alto mar e os nossos jantares de lagosta incríveis. Parque Nacional do PEI e área de resort de Cavendish apenas a 10 minutos de distância.

CohnReznick LLP Recognized for Exemplary Workplace Practices
Baltimore, Bethesda, and Chicago offices receive prestigious When Work Works Award
The Baltimore, Bethesda, and Chicago offices of CohnReznick LLP, one of the leading accounting, tax, and advisory firms in the U.S., have been honored with the 2014 When Work Works Award for their use of effective workplace strategies to increase business and employee success.
This prestigious award, part of the national When Work Works project administered by the Families and Work Institute (FWI) and the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), recognizes employers of all sizes and types in Maryland, Illinois, and across the country.
"We are thrilled to receive this recognition for our workplace practices," said Carolyn D'Anna, Partner and Co-Chief Human Resources Officer at CohnReznick. "It is a true testament to our employees and our worksites that we are able to adopt these practices and create a more flexible environment."
The award is the result of a rigorous assessment. Worksites must first qualify in the top 20% of the country based on a nationally representative sample of employers. Two-thirds of the evaluation of applicants comes from an employee survey. Applicants are evaluated on six research-based ingredients for an effective workplace: opportunities for learning; a culture of trust; work-life fit; supervisor support for work success; autonomy; and satisfaction with earnings, benefits, and opportunities for advancement. All are factors associated with employee health, well-being, and engagement.
"These employers are making work work in innovative and inspiring ways and set an example for employers both nationally and internationally," said Ellen Galinsky, president of Families and Work Institute.
"The When Work Works Award recognizes organizations that foster a culture of workplace flexibility and effectiveness, which gives them a competitive advantage. Their practices set them apart from other organizations," said Lisa Horn, director of SHRM's Workplace Flexibility Initiative.
CohnReznick will be recognized as a When Work Works recipient at upcoming events hosted by the local program partner in each region.

Flooded Recreation Area Set To Reopen
The open sign will soon be welcoming campers and outdoor enthusiasts back to Wilson Island State Recreation Area near Missouri Valley. It closed in 2011 due to the Missouri River flood and was scheduled to reopen earlier this summer. The reopening was delayed when a severe thunderstorm hit the area on June 3rd that caused further damage.
Park Ranger Chris Anunson says due to the possibility of future floods they moved all the buildings, playground and electrical boxes to higher ground. The new park office was ready to open when the June 3rd storm hit. Heavy rain, 90 mile and hour wind and baseball sized hail damaged the new roof and siding and broke several windows. Those repairs had to be made before the park could open.
Wilson Island State Recreation Area will reopen on Monday, August 4th at 8 am. All campsites will be on a first come - first served basis.

Globally, Insurers Are Waking Up To The Spending Power Of Small Businesses
Posted by Ellen Carney on June 19, 2013
- 223 Recommendations
- 0 comments
With the global economy thawing out after the long winter of the financial crisis, the small business market is on the rebound. And it's not just in the US. In markets extending from Canada to Australia, small business owners are starting up, borrowing to expand, and they're hiring staff, all of which are driving the need for commercial insurance to protect assets and employees. And just where are these busy small business owners doing their research and, in many cases, shopping? Online. So with all this digital shopping and buying, just what changes will these digitally sophisticated small businesses drive for insurers? For starters:
- Typical consumer online features are creeping into commercial insurance sites. In the US, small business owners are more likely to go online to research, renew, and service their policies than the average online consumer. What's driving these small businesses to digital insurance? Business owners and their staffs bring their consumer experiences with them to work, prompting business insurers to rethink the content, usability, and functionality present on their business insurance sites. For example, Hiscox's online site features not only simplified packaging that makes quoting easy but also the ratings and review functionality that we are used to seeing on direct personal insurer sites like Progressive Casualty Insurance's site.
- Changing firmographics are forcing a shift to digital business risk-centric experiences. Changing customer expectations and new risks in white-hot growth businesses like energy construction and medical marijuana are forcing carriers to rethink their small business customer segmentation. What would be really great to see is segmentation for small businesses that went beyond the industry and number of employees to look at structure (corporation, LLC, sole proprietership, for instance); life stage (start-up, growth, transition, and so forth); or technology dependency or stance (in Forrester parlance, optimists or pessimists.) Need some examples? Kemper Specialty pitches the business life stage on its commercial auto landing page. And State Farm offers content on how insurance needs change as the business matures, but sadly offers that content only as a PDF on its business insurance landing page. Meanwhile, Allstate offers a "People Like You" button on its business insurance landing page, instead of overwhelming an online shopper with a long list of industry types.
- Specialty lines that demand specialized mobile apps. The mobile boom is gaining a foothold in commercial lines. Commercial carriers are creating mobile applications to help business owners manage even specialized risks. Great American Insurance has launched two mobile applications for the policy management needs of commercial trucking firms and equine-related businesses like racing, boarding, breeding, and training. Along with mobile apps for policy holders, commercial insurers could consider mobile apps that coach their commercial agents through the business characteristics they need to understand when selling specialty policies to businesses with very specific needs like horticultural or jewelers block insurance.
How is the small business insurance customer factoring into your digital strategy in the coming year?

Gamification: Practical Advice from Game Developers
The Wharton School & Philadelphia Game Lab
Monday, October 3, 2011 from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM (EDT)
Event Details
Please join us for a networking event and discussion on gamification and game development, co-organized by Prof. Kevin Werbach (Wharton) and Nathan Solomon (Philadelphia Game Lab).
Computer games have long been the benchmark for well-designed, meaningfully quantified interactive user experience. Recently the term "gamification" has come into common use for applying gameplay functionality in non-game contexts. Is there more to this trend than hucksters throwing badges and leaderboards onto every website? What really makes games compelling? What can technologists, businesspeople, and game developers learn from each other?
We'll begin with pizza and informal networking, followed by an overview of the state of gamification and a panel discussion featuring experienced game developers. Meet local entrepreneurs, developers, user experience experts, marketers, and students, and learn more about this emerging area.
Moderator: Chris Grant (Joystiq)
Jesper Juul (NYU)
Margaret Wallace (Playmatics)
Ethan Mollick (Wharton Management Dept.)
Eric Goldberg (Crossover Technologies)
Frank Lee (Drexel Game Program)
Attendance is free but space is limited. Register today!

Your job is protected for up to 12 weeks for FMLA. I believe that is a on a yearly basis for a full time employee. After that, (absent a union collective bargaining agreement of some kind), if the company fires you, you would have to establish that you were fired because of a "protected" characteristic, age, sex, race, ethnic background. If you have exceeded the 12 weeks allowed for FMLA, that circumstance will give the company a defense if you do file an EEO complaint.
If seems from your post that you might have invoked FMLA on a few more occasions than you did, such as caring for your elderly mother. That may be what you will have to do from now on, but 12 weeks is 12 weeks. If you already are close, you may be skating on thin ice.
They don't ahve to tell you what the "company average" is. Moreover, even if you absence is excused, unless protected by FMLA, the company can fire you if the company believes that you are off work for reasons of illness too often.

" Brand: Rex International / Type: Lamps, Lights and Shades "
* Prices may differ from that shown
I bought this on a whim from Amazon with some of my Dooyoo miles (at £4.49 a pop, a very small portion of my miles...). The reason I added this to my basket was because it looked cute, and I thought it would be good for my daughter to have a proper night light in her bedroom, instead of, or as well as the ladybird torch she has (see previous review).
I'd already read a brief review on Amazon and to be honest it was not dazzling, but I wanted to see for myself, and with it being cheap I just had to get one.
When it arrived, it was probably the smallest thing in my big box of treats, definitely a lot smaller than I imagined. I don't know what it is about buying things online, they always appear bigger on the screen than they do in reality. The dimensions are actually on the Amazon website and these are Height 9cm and Width 8cm which to me sounds quite sizeable, but in reality....it's about the size of a large mushroom!
What I also noticed was that it is extremely lightweight; it almost feels like it doesn't weigh anything. It is made from some sort of soft plastic material, the only thing I can compare it to at the moment is one of those squeezy bath toys (of which we have many), and it has a red top and white stalk. The red top is decorated with a few white spots so it is made to look like those cartoon toadstools we all know and love. The actual picture on Amazon shows a lovely toadstool adorned with many white spots...my toadstool has a total of 11 white spots, and about 20 uncoloured-in spots. It's as if they forgot (or couldn't be bothered) to finish it off. So the image is quite misleading, but ultimately I don't suppose this really matters.
The light is activated using a switch on the bottom and it does give off a nice soft glow. The main 'beam' is emitted from the white stalk, and the red top just sort of glows red. I think the idea of the light is just stop the room from being pitch black. I don't think you could actually use this as a light for reading with, it's just nice to sit in the corner of a room to give off a nice glow. It's actually a lot brighter than I expected, and the 'glow' does seem to travel quite far. What I'm trying to say is that it doesn't just light up the area in very close proximity to the toadstool; it does have quite a wide glow range. My daughter really seems to like it, and we tend to leave it on in her room until she has fallen asleep, and then switch it off.
It runs off 3 LR44 batteries (the watch type which are provided with the unit), but I wouldn't actually know this myself unless I read it on the Amazon website because I cannot for the life of me get into the battery compartment. It is located on the bottom of the light and is fixed into position with a small screw. I have managed to unscrew the screw which comes out easily, but this does not in any way aid the removal of the battery compartment. I have tried all sorts to prize it out, but it is stuck in there like glue. I am hoping that the fact that the light is LED means that it will last forever and I will never actually have to replace the batteries...
Despite the Toadstool's flaws, I am really happy with it. It is cheap (in price and build), it's ideal for children because it is small, easy to switch on and off, doesn't get hot so they can use it as an aid for them to get to the toilet in the night, or to find mum and dad's bedroom in the dark...
It's just perfect for what we need it for, and I'm pleased I bought it. It was either that or one of those In The Night Garden/Peppa Pig/Thomas the Tank/Disney Princess...etc lights that are way too expensive and annoyingly tagged with TV characters.
Cheap and cheerful.
Available on Amazon for £4.49.

Fur Rondy wraps up with reindeer, poker
The 10-day event attracts tens of thousands of visitors.
ANCHORAGE – The most popular winter festival in Alaska comes to a close this weekend, but there's still plenty of Fur Rondy left to enjoy.
Executive Director Jeff Barney said popular events like the Running of the Reindeer, the Fur Rondy poker tournament and the annual Miners and Trappers Ball are still to come. Barney said the success of the 10-day event has been dependent on volunteer and sponsor support and — so far — a streak of fantastic February weather.
"It's been quick, but from my perspective it's been great," Barney said. "Weather was great, dog races, for us, were incredible."

In the latest Israeli raid, the army said it had arrested two leading militants on Sunday close to the headquarters of the Palestinian President, Yasser Arafat, in the West Bank city of Ramallah. It said Hussein Abu Kwaik, long on Israel's wanted list, and Freij Rumeidah had been planning attacks on Israelis.
About 100 Jewish settlers went on the rampage in Hebron as they mourned a soldier killed in a Palestinian ambush.
They shot dead the Palestinian girl and wounded nine other people, Palestinian witnesses said.
The former US president Bill Clinton has attacked President George Bush for his policies on the Middle East.
He broke the convention that former occupants of the White House do not criticise their successors, and told a television reporter who confronted him in Washington that Mr Bush had mistakenly disengaged from the region.

Buffett heir
Todd Combs
Who hell he? Well might you ask. He is a 39-year-old hedge fund manager and longtime friend of multibillionaire Warren Buffett. Combs, who has been hired by the octogenarian Sage of Omaha, is tipped as a successor should the American dream ever betray Buffett and allow him, despite his protective layer of money, to die.
Combs will not take over the management of the $100bn of investments immediately but work his way up from whatever is the equivalent of operating the photocopier at Berkshire Hathaway. Maybe a $10bn slice to start off with. See how it goes.
Satirical display
Jon Stewart
The host of satirical TV programme the Daily Show is on the march, to restore sanity to his country. As the US media outlets fill with ever more febrile nonsense about Barack Obama's secret socialist/Muslim/socialist-Muslim agenda and the imminent death of all that once made America great – unless Christine O'Donnell can cast a durn powerful spell over the midterm elections and quick, Stewart embarks today on a rally for moderates, the great unheard.
He'll be joined in DC by fake-Republican, fake-news-host Stephen Colbert (who is marching "to keep fear alive"), a variety of other comedians and an unknown number of supporters. Normal people, Stewart points out, are often too busy with their lives to come to political rallies. Still, we wish them well and cheer them on. But, you know, sensibly.
Lost lustre
Charlie Sheen
As our worthless native land (unless we're talking about the ancient forests the Tories are planning to sell off to the highest bidders of course) is filled entirely with news about welfare cuts, dead stags and other irreparable harms to our natural and national heritage, let's make it US 3-0.
Sheen, sitcom star and son of Martin, added to the gaiety of everyone but his long-suffering ex-wife Denise Richards and his children when he was found, apparently drunk, naked and in the company of an escort, at the Plaza hotel in which the family was staying during the kids' first trip to New York. "I've been partying," Sheen explained. This is, roughly, his 1,475th drunk/naked/escort-based foul-up. There is still no sign of a rehab spell long enough to interrupt the filming of Two and a Half Men. But we can, given his present form, certainly live in hope.
What they said
"We all know there's quite a number of elements in the security programme which are completely redundant and they should be sorted out."
OMG! Martin Broughton, BA chairman, wants us all to DIE on his planes!
"The very avatar of rebellion: the desperado, the buccaneer, the poète maudit, the soul survivor and main offender, the torn and frayed outlaw, and the coolest dude on the planet." New York Times critic Michiko Kakutani likes Keith Richards.
"We've had three oven fires and friends bring their own food on visits."
TV presenter Victoria Brown, who has just been voted America's worst cook.

LINDALE — For the second year in a row, Sulphur Springs beat all defenders during play in the Robbie Surratt Memorial Tournament in Lindale.
After going 3-0 the first three games, the Wildcats closed out with a bang, edging district foe Mount Pleasant, 8-7 in a baseball game called due to time restrictions Saturday.
"We were up 8-7 when umpires called the game and stopped play," said Jerrod Hammack, Sulphur Springs head baseball coach. "That's is part of the rules for that tournament. They had a 'drop dead' rule and play stops."
The Wildcats used three pitchers to get the win. Ethan Phillips started and went two innings on the hill. Dillon Carpenter pitched one frame before giving way to Hunter Elliott to complete the game.
Sulphur Springs knocked Mount Pleasant around with both Brennan Brock and Landon Brock going 2-for-4 at the plate.
"I am proud of the way we played in the tournament," Hammack added. "We are close to playing the way I think the game should be played as a team."
The Wildcats started the tournament with an 8-1 win over Spring Hill. Sulphur Springs then beat the host school Lindale, 7-3.
During early Friday action, Sulphur Springs blanked a good Bullard team, 8-0.
Saturday the Wildcats took the win over the Tigers to go 7-1 on the year.
Sulphur Springs will participate in the Ennis Tournament, Thursday through Saturday.

Kate Hudson's Buenos Aires Breakfast
Enjoying some quality time with her son Ryder and beau Matthew Bellamy, Kate Hudson stepped out for a relaxing breakfast in Buenos Aires, Argentina over the weekend (April 2).
The 31-year-old momma-to-be looked beautiful in a flowy blue sundress and black sunglasses as she snapped a few pictures of the gorgeous scenery during the day-beginning chowdown.
As for her undeniable good looks, Kate credits her fantastic figure to her A-list mother, Goldie Hawn , for teaching her the importance of eating a healthy diet and doing regular exercise from a young age.
Hudson dished, "She also advised me not to start going on crash diets or become obsessed with my weight, which is all very Hollywood. So I started eating properly at the age of 16, getting on a regime in which I'd get more energy. So I don't eat wheat or dairy."
The expecting actress also insisted that Goldie gave her confidence and total acceptance of her body, making it easy to take on sexy movie roles like Penny Lame in "Almost Famous".
"I was not concerned about the sexual content. My mom always celebrated the female body so she gave me confidence. I felt that when I started becoming a woman and getting my figure, it was celebrated," she explained.

US stocks surged higher Wednesday after the Federal Reserve boosted its support of growth in the economy, a move widely expected on Wall Street.
The Federal Open Market Committee said it would "initially" buy $45 billion per month of longer-term Treasury securities, replacing its Operation Twist bond-swap program that expires at year-end.
The FOMC also said it would hold its current benchmark rate at the ultra-low 0-0.25 percent level as long as the jobless rate, now at 7.7 percent, stays above 6.5 percent, and the inflation outlook for the next one to two years is no more than 2.5 percent.
Wall Street stocks, which had sharply pared gains ahead of the FOMC statement released at 12:30 pm (1730 GMT), rose sharply.
At 1800 GMT, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 64.08 points (0.48 percent) at 13,312.52.
The S&P 500-stock index advanced 9.47 (0.66 percent) to 1,437.31, while the tech-rich Nasdaq Composite climbed 10.52 (0.35 percent) to 3,032.82.

It's not fair that AE projects review time is 4-5 days and the stock footage is 3x more! Isn't it easier to review the 10 sec video than the whole AE project?
Due to the ever-increasing popularity of our wonderful marketplace, we've recently experienced a massive influx of stock footage and motion graphics. AE projects currently comprise only about 2% of the total files in the queue.
Thanks for your patience while we continue working to get the Stock Footage and Motion Graphics categories back to a shorter review time.
AE is currently in the expected 3-4 day time period.
It's a nice idea, but I'm fairly positive the queue platform isn't capable of allowing changes to be made to items that are currently queued. The best advice I can offer is to have the changes ready to be immediately made once the file is reviewed.

But it would be great if we can include watermarked audio in our templates because sometimes we cut the audio inside the after effects so buyers have to do is just replace it with original track.
In those cases, you can just replace the soundtrack or audio file with an audio file that is blank, with no sound. That way, the placeholder exists in the timeline, and all the customer has to do is replace the file.
You may use AudioJungle tracks for the preview videos, but we don't allow you to include any watermarked audio files inside the ZIP, or any files that you don't own the proper licensing for.
You should, however, provide a link to the audio clip for the customer to purchase if they wish.

Your items are Stock Footage files, not After Effects Projects. The Stock Footage and Motion Graphics queues currently have a longer wait period due to an extremely large influx of files we've received lately.
MediaDayRu said
name (New) Queued for Review Submitted 9 days ago why my projects check for so long?
The stock footage category currently has a bit longer of a wait than AE projects.
We're doing our best to get caught up on AE projects. Currently, we're at 6-7 days, and by the end of the week we'll be somewhere in the 5-day range. Hopefully, next week we'll be back to the normal 3-4ish day wait period . Thanks for your patience!

Carla Bruni, from catwalk to the Elysee Palace
By James Mackenzie
PARIS (Reuters) - Carla Bruni, the Italian singer and former supermodel, would bring a dose of glamour to the Elysee Palace if her surprising romance with President Nicolas Sarkozy ends in marriage.
A feline star of the catwalk turned husky voiced chanteuse, Bruni, the scion of a rich Italian industrial dynasty, embodies a world of cultured glamour far removed from the ambitious outsider who won the French presidency last year.
Her patrician indifference to bourgeois convention and her relationships with rock stars and intellectuals also seem to mark her as part of the Left Bank Parisian cultural elite that Sarkozy is normally assumed to despise.
Sarkozy, a former lawyer and champion of "the France that gets up early," has little known interest in the arts apart from his friendship with French rocker Johnny Hallyday. He once declared "I am not an intellectual."
But there was little doubting the president's feelings as the pair toured the pyramids hand in hand or gamboled in the Egyptian surf together last month.
"It's serious," Sarkozy, 52, told the press but triggered feverish speculation about a possible wedding date by adding: "There's a good chance you'll find out about it when it's already happened."
The 40 year-old Bruni, a tall, slim brunette, bears a certain physical resemblance to Sarkozy's second wife Cecilia, who made no secret of her dislike of the role of First Lady and spent little time in the Elysee Palace.
But she would mark a distinct change of tone from Bernadette Chirac, the formidable wife of former President Jacques Chirac whose style was unmistakably that of a "grande dame" from the old-fashioned French bourgeoisie. Continued...

Coming February 16th - from 7-9PM (Dallas, Texas time).
"6-TH" ONLINE CD RELEASE PARTY. (Tom's new CD)
This is the 6TH CD from Hunkasaurus and His Pet Dog Guitar. It is part of the multi CD, HUNKASAURUS AND PET DOG GUITAR's OUTSIDE THE BOX ,CD SET.
To hear the first 5 CD's click on http://www.Hunkasaurus.com
Tom Hendricks, that's me, alias Hunkasaurus, will be there. I'll be glad to answer any questions or respond to any comments about this CD or any aspect of my post-bands music or my zine Musea, or the art revolution.
Thursday the 19th at HUNKASAURUS.COM at 7PM, webmaster Matthew will flick the switch and post all 12 songs to the new CD. From 7:01 on, you are invited to listen to any or all songs on the list for the next two hours. Drop in anytime within that time period. And if you like, you can switch to my blog and comment on the CD, this back to basics, new type of music, or ask any question you like. Or just read what others are saying. We will have a running thread on my blog
Then at 9PM Matthew will pull the plug. If you miss hearing it then, you'll have to wait awhile before the CD will be posted online again.
Start with Post-Bands music. I am the first, AFAIK, to openly oppose what rock and popular music have become. So these CD's are the first for a new type of music. NEW CENTURY, NEW MUSIC! I suggest a new, back to basics music that is a more honest and simple music. My version is voice and guitar, with emphasis on good songs (covers and originals - best from new and old), great melodies, solid lyrics, and honest straightforward singing. See what you think. Dance if you want to!
Feel free to ask me about any of these other topics besides my 6 CDs : 1. My 20 year old monthly art and media zine, MUSEA , 2. The WORLD'S FIRST TOP FORTY LIST - the best 200 songs on the net, from every continent on the planet (and what a talented bunch of musicians this group is), 3. BOX OFFICE CONCERTS at the Inwood Theater, Dallas, Texas; 4. WORLD REQUEST AND DEDICATION for all; 5. Conceptual art that challenges conceptual art and all modern art; 6. The ZINE HALL OF FAME, 7. My 60 VIDEOS including the 6 part lecture series, FIVE DOORS TO THE ART REVOLUTION; any of my writings, or anything else.
HEY WORLD - COME TO MY PARTY! The cyber- door will be open - Tom Hendricks.
