Employees are the heart of any business, so recognizing their value and helping them work efficiently is vital to an organization's success. To make sure their workforces are operating at optimal levels and to promote growth, many companies hire individuals trained in industrial organizational psychology, an area of behavioral science devoted to the study of how people work.
Industrial organizational psychology applies research and studies on employee thoughts, activities and attitudes to the business context. Practitioners study human motivation and organizational behavior as well as job analysis, employee assessment, statistics and leadership theory. They may observe groups and individuals, lead focus groups, conduct interviews and complete case studies as part of their process. Tasks and responsibilities can range from evaluating individual employees' skills and abilities to documenting company culture. Using their findings, IO psychologists may make suggestions for hiring, reorganizing teams or entire departments, altering compensation plans or improving the workplace environment.
As the nation's oldest, nonprofit graduate school dedicated exclusively to psychology and related behavioral sciences, The Chicago School of Professional Psychology offers organizational psychology graduate programs to develop students' understanding of human actions as well as their management and leadership skills - abilities that will help them build productive relationships with employers and clients.
Students pursuing a master's in industrial organizational psychology at The Chicago School can potentially find a wide variety of employment opportunities in a growing field. Businesses of all types and sizes - small start-ups, non-profits, large corporations and more - recognize the value of enhancing the workplace, maximizing employee satisfaction, improving workflow and meeting the challenges that may inhibit or slow growth opportunities.
You can have a meaningful and rewarding career helping companies improve performance through better workforce design, coordination and management. Transform yourself and transform your world with a master's degree in industrial organizational psychology from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology.

Kiernan, Caitlin R. Drowning Girl
India Morgan Philips, Imp to her friends, is insane. And she knows it. The diagnosis of schizophrenia came as no surprise to her; both her mother and grandmother suffered from similar disorders, both ending their lives as suicides. An artistic, troubled young woman, Imp tries to control her disorder with medication and therapy, but those only go so far. Her obessions—or intrusive thoughts, as her therapist wishes her to call them—sometimes get the better of her. This is the case when she meets Eva Canning, a woman who so strongly evokes a painting called "The Drowning Girl" which Imp had seen as a child that she throws Imp into a fever of artistic madness, compelling her to draw Eva's face over and over and repeatedly scrawl the words to Lewis Carroll's "The Lobster Quadrille" over everything at hand. But who is Eva? A hitchhiker? A mermaid? A werewolf? The charimatic priestess of a doomed cult? In Imp's fevered brain, Eva is all of these things and none of them. And so, in a desperate attempt to find her way through the labyrinth schizophrenia has made of her own past, Imp sets down her story—or stories, as her memory plays tricks on her—in a complex, layered, and utterly compelling narrative.
Haunting and magical, The Drowning Girl questions our understanding of reality. Kiernan's Imp knows, in a way most of us do not, that she is an unreliable narrator in the story of her own life. What in our life and memory is true and factual, and what is a compelling or comforting fantasy we tell ourselves to cover over the truth? The Drowning Girl does not provide easy answers to these most fundamental questions.

text: Round 1: Jonathan Cooper, OG, North Carolina 1st round guards are amongst the safest and most productive picks in the draft. The fact that we refuse to draft one early and the quality of the lines we've been fielding speaks volumes. I've still got a man crush on Warmack, won't lie, but I'd sleep like a baby if we came away with Cooper. Round 2: Margus Hunt, DE, Southern Methodist Everyone that is watching Ansah should be watching Hunt. You want your athletic freak? Here he is. You'll probably hear Watt's name mentioned a lot with Hunt because they both happen to be short on melanin, but think Calais Campbell. Round 3: Khaled Holmes, C, USC Holmes would be a steady (or better), dependable center on a team that had LOTS of issues at the position last year. Even if Costa comes back, do you want to bank on his remaining healthy? I sure don't. Holmes could also potentially play guard if Costa can stay healthy and plays with enough strength to do so. Round 4: Kenjon Barner, RB, Oregon You've seen him in a million mocks by now, and he'll probably go earlier than we all think, but I'd love to pair an explosive guy like Barner with a thumper like Murray. Round 5: Tyrann Mathieu, CB, LSU I may be losing it, but I am starting to open up a bit to the idea of drafting Mathieu. We tend to strike out in this later draft rounds, even when we think we're playing it safe, so why not swing for the fences? Some team will probably remember Janoris Jenkins and get trigger happy, but in the 5th? Why the heck not. Round 6: Shamarko Thomas, SS, Syracuse I'm not really under any delusion that Thomas is a starting caliber safety, but the dude plays with a chip and can really motor. At the very least, a special teams contributor with potential to earn some regular snaps. ------ Let's hear why you hate it so much.

Today is Wednesday, March 20, the 79th day of 2013. There are 286 days left in the year. Spring arrives at 4:02 a.m. PDT.
Today's highlight:
On March 20, 1933, the state of Florida electrocuted Giuseppe Zangara for the shooting death of Chicago Mayor Anton J. Cermak at a Miami event attended by President-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt, the presumed target, the previous February.
On this date:
In 1413, England's King Henry IV died; he was succeeded by Henry V.
In 1727, physicist, mathematician and astronomer Sir Isaac Newton died in London.
In 1815, Napoleon Bonaparte returned to Paris after escaping his exile on Elba, beginning his "Hundred Days" rule.
In 1852, Harriet Beecher Stowe's influential novel about slavery, "Uncle Tom's Cabin," was first published in book form after being serialized.
In 1912, a coal mine explosion in McCurtain, Okla., claimed the lives of 73 workers.
In 1922, the decommissioned USS Jupiter, converted into the first U.S. Navy aircraft carrier, was recommissioned as the USS Langley.
In 1952, the U.S. Senate ratified, 66-10, the Treaty of Peace with Japan.
In 1969, John Lennon married Yoko Ono in Gibraltar.
In 1977, voters in Paris chose former French Prime Minister Jacques Chirac to be the French capital's first mayor in more than a century.
In 1985, Libby Riddles of Teller, Alaska, became the first woman to win the Iditarod Trail Dog Sled Race.
In 1988, 8-year-old DeAndra Anrig found herself airborne when the string of her kite was snagged by an airplane flying over Shoreline Park in Mountain View, Calif. (DeAndra was lifted 10 feet off the ground and carried some 100 feet until she let go; she was not seriously hurt.)
In 1995, in Tokyo, 12 people were killed, more than 5,500 others sickened when packages containing the poisonous gas sarin were leaked on five separate subway trains by Aum Shinrikyo (ohm shin-ree-kyoh) cult members.
Ten years ago: On the first day of the Iraq War, a subdued Saddam Hussein appeared on state-run television after the initial American air strike on Baghdad, accusing the United States of a "shameful crime" and urging his people to "draw your sword" against the invaders. American combat units rumbled across the desert into Iraq from the south and U.S. and British forces bombed limited targets in Baghdad. The start of war in Iraq triggered one of the heaviest days of anti-government protesting in years, leading to thousands of arrests across the United States and prompting pro-war counter-demonstrations.
Five years ago: In a setback for Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton, a drive for a second Michigan presidential primary collapsed as the state Senate adjourned without taking up a measure calling for a do-over contest. (Michigan had held an early primary in January 2008 in violation of Democratic Party rules, and was stripped of its delegates as a result.) Mao Asada of Japan won the women's title at the World Figure Skating Championships in Goteborg, Sweden.
One year ago: Front-runner Mitt Romney won the Illinois Republican primary with ease, routing Rick Santorum for his third big-state win in a row. A 7.4-magnitude earthquake in Mexico damaged hundreds of homes and killed at least two people near the border between Guerrero and Oaxaca states. Army linebacker Andrew Rodriguez won the James E. Sullivan Award, given by the Amateur Athletic Union to the top amateur athlete in the United States.

What is a Blue Book?
The Idaho Blue Book is published biennially in odd-numbered years under the direction of the Secretary of State. It contains constitutional, historical and statistical information about the state of Idaho. It also details the structure of Idaho's government and includes biographies of elected officials. The book is distributed free to all schools and libraries in the state upon request.
The Blue Book received its name not from the color of its cover but rather by definition of content. Bartlett's Dictionary of Americanisms defines the term Blue Book as "a printed book containing the names of all persons holding office under the Government of the United States. It answers the Red Book of England." Individual states have taken this concept and expanded it to include a wealth of information about state officials and resources as well as statistical and historical profiles.
The print edition currently available is the 2013/2014.
To order the Idaho Blue Book, send your request to the address below:
The cost of the Blue Book is $10.00 (postage and handling included). Please make your remittance payable to the "State of Idaho".

Allstate Sugar Bowl Announces Greater New Orleans Sports Hall of Fame Inductees
Saturday, June 5, 2010
Former NFL and Southern University stars Isiah Robertson and Aeneas Williams will be the newest inductees to the Allstate Sugar Bowl's Greater New Orleans Sports Hall of Fame the organization announced on Saturday. The official induction will be at the Greater New Orleans Sports Hall of Fame banquet on Friday, July 23 at the Louisiana Superdome. In addition to the Hall of Famers, the Corbett Awards for the state's top amateur athletes and multiple annual awards will be presented.
Also being honored at the banquet will be four Special Award winners - a category established by the organization to recognize outstanding efforts and achievements in the sports arena in Greater New Orleans that don't necessarily qualify for other awards. This year's Special Award honorees comprise what is quite possibly the most diverse group of award-winners in history - Academy Award-winning actress Sandra Bullock, former PGA golfer Kelly Gibson, All-American Amateur Baseball champion New Orleans Boosters and legendary press box institution Harold Shelly.
Sponsored by the Allstate Sugar Bowl, the Greater New Orleans Sports Hall of Fame was created in 1971 and has honored 201 athletes who were born in New Orleans and achieved prominence in or away from the Greater New Orleans area; or, those non-natives who achieved sports prominence in the Greater New Orleans area in high school, college, professional or amateur sports. Each year's Hall of Fame class is selected by the Greater New Orleans Sports Awards Selection Committee, a volunteer group which has met monthly to pay homage to outstanding achievements in athletics in the Greater New Orleans area for over five decades. In addition to the Hall of Fame, the committee recognizes an Amateur Athlete of the Month for the Greater New Orleans area and selects yearly winners for a variety of major awards.
2010 Greater New Orleans Sports Hall of Fame Inductee:
"My contributions to Warren Easton are the best investments I've ever made," said Bullock, who won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her role in "The Blind Side."
Addressing Warren Easton seniors at their 2007 graduation, Bullock said, "You are the miracle that came out of Katrina. No one could have done it but you."
"I take great pride in being from New Orleans, and I hope it shows in my passion for this restoration," Gibson said. "We have accomplished many things in this city that most people thought would be impossible. My goal all along was to leverage my PGA Tour credentials to bring the best possible team to New Orleans and I feel that I have."
The New Orleans Boosters
In addition to the title, the New Orleans franchise also dominated the post-tournament awards. Centerfielder Lucas LeBlanc was named the tournament's Most Valuable Player and outfielder Scott Fabre earned the tournament's Batting Champion Award. Shortstop Beau Boudreaux and infielder Mason Katz were named co-RBI champions.

Hello. This is my first post to the forum.
Recently I tried to upgrade the version of Wireshark in Backtrack 2. Having gone through trial and error, I would like to share how I got it working. Since I am not an advanced Linux user, please excuse any misuse of technical jargon. Backtrack 2 comes with version .99.4. The new version as of this posting is .99.5.
I am doing this on a 'Real' installation.
Anyway, I downloaded the source from the wireshark website to my desktop, extracted using the 'tar -xf' command. There are a few 'Read Me' files, which was kind of confusing at first. The instructions said the default compile options should work. Yet for me they didn't.
Using the default ./configure command, I noticed that Wireshark wasn't even set to build. And upon issuing the 'make' command, it compiled for about ten minutes, and then I got errors when it got to the 'agentx' plugin. After re-reading the help options, and some guesswork I got it to compile using these options:
./configure -disable-gtktest -disable-usr-local
make install
Previously I had tried to use one of the Wireshark packages from slacky.eu. I am not sure if I did something wrong though. I used the pkgtool to install the .99.5 version; yet the 'About Wireshark' still showed .99.4.
That's it for now. Hope you all have a good day.

Snowboarding Photographer Labeled "Unstable" By CEO For Trying To Protect Copyright
Posted by Conor Risch on Friday July 23, 2010 | Business, Copyright/Legal
Posted by Conor Risch on Friday July 23, 2010 | Business, Copyright/Legal
A snowboarding photographer battled a company for months trying to get them to acknowledge that they had used his photo without permission or payment. The photographer, Chris Messervey, has now published his months of correspondence with the company on his blog in hopes of getting satisfaction.
Standard practice for snowboarding photographers is to accompany riders on their trips into the mountains, make images documenting the action, and then license those photographs to magazines and companies who sponsor the riders and whose gear appears in the photos.
Messervey did just that when he traveled this past February to Revelstoke, British Columbia with some snowboarders who were working on a film for the 2010–2011 winter season.
One of the riders mentioned to Messervey that one of his sponsors, the snowboarding apparel company Grenade, were looking for photographs of the rider in the next season's gear. "It's pretty standard practice that after shooting riders, you preview shots with them, they show their sponsors, if their sponsors are feeling the shots, they buy them for a price based on how they intend to use them," Messervey wrote in a blog post recounting his experiences with Grenade.
The rider showed one of Messervey's images to Grenade, who published it on their blog. Messervey didn't receive a request for permission to publish the image, nor was he credited.
When he approached Grenade about payment for use of the image, a representative of the company was initially cordial, Meservey says, but put him off. Months later, he had still not received payment. The correspondence between Messervey and the company, which Messervey published on his blog, escalated into acrimony on both sides and threats of legal action, and ended with the company's CEO accusing Messervey of being unstable simply because he was trying to protect his work.
Grenade has since taken Messervey's photograph down off its site. He has still not been paid for the usage.

PHOTO: Justin Bieber & Selena Gomez get cozy on Instagram
Listen to Justin Bieber on iHeartRadio | Listen Selena Gomez on iHeartRadio
The latest addition to Justin Bieber's Instagram page is sparking more rumors about a possible reconciliation with his ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez.
On Saturday, the pop star posted a photo of himself being hugged from behind by his former love. He captioned it, "Love the way you look at me."
The photo has garnered more than a million likes so far, and the social media explosion comes just days after Justin and Selena were photographed riding segways together around his neighborhood in Calabasas, California. The Thursday hangout was the first time in months the former couple has been seen together in public.
Selena recently cut her "Stars Dance" world tour short, telling fans she needed to take some time for herself. Bieber, on the heels of supposed "retirement" rumors, spent his New Year's Day recording music with a producer in Toronto, according to "Rolling Stone."

Police: Brother, not intruder, killed California girl
(NEWSER) – A 12-year-old boy who told police that anintruder stabbed his 8-year-old sister to death has been arrested and will be charged with homicide, police say. The killing in the small northern California town of Valley Springs last month sparked a 15-day manhunt after the boy told police a tall, gray-haired man had stabbed his sister, Leila Fowler, while their parents were at a Little League game, the LA Times reports. A neighbor who told police she had seen a man running from the crime scene later recanted her story, reports the Modesto Bee.

Bookmooch: Swapping Books Online
I recently (and reluctantly) went through my four bookshelves, determined to ruthlessly cull the ever-swelling collection and make a donation to the Times-Colonist Book Sale. It was no easy task. My mother uses a system for keeping books, which utilizes the following categories: Haven't read yet, will definitely read again, will lend, significant value (sentimental included). Everything else (she swears) went. My system for 'keeps' seems more like: Haven't read yet, will definitely read again, will lend, significant value (sentimental included), may read again one day, the cover is so pretty, it has that one bit I really liked toward the end, my boyfriend gave it to me, it's just the right thickness to prop up the couch, should that ever become necessary, and anyway it's MINE.
After some gritting of teeth I came up with about 25 books to part with, which is better than I'd expected. Neverthless, I'm shocked by how many books that left, especially when I acquire more with such alarming frequency.
So what else to do with books, if not keep them? It's so satisfying to use Librarything to catalogue them all and compare with a literary community, but from time to time, the herd must be thinned, at least until I am wealthy enough to own a home that has a wing I can devote to my library.
I donate sometimes, I sell to secondhand shops sometimes, but what about trading? I'd never given it much thought. A friend of mine who lives in Puerto Rico likes Bookmooch and uses it frequently.
What's Bookmooch? From their overview:
BookMooch lets you give away books you no longer need in exchange for books you really want.
Give & receive: Every time you give someone a book, you earn a point and can get any book you want from anyone else at BookMooch. Once you've read a book, you can keep it forever or put it back into BookMooch for someone else, as you wish.
No cost: there is no cost to join or use this web site: your only cost is mailing your books to others.
Points for entering books: you receive a tenth-of-a-point for every book you type into our system, and one point each time you give a book away. In order to keep receiving books, you need to give away at least one book for every three you receive.
Given how stern I had to be with myself in order to convince myself to part with ANY of my childr… er, books…, and given how inexpensive used books are on the internet, I'm not sure bookmooch is something I'd get a whole lot of use out of. Still, how cool to know it exists.
As for me, I think I'll just have to invest in a lot of new furniture.

WATCH: Ariana Grande's 'Problem' In 20 Different Styles
Listen to Ariana Grande Radio on iHeartRadio
This 20-way stylistic mind trip is only Ariana Grande's "Problem." Youtube star and Ten Second Songs creator Anthony took it upon himself to re-create the song that's on everyone's iPods, through cleverly flipping the song in, yes, 20 different ways. Not only does he do the predictable imitation (Destiny's Child) but he throws in a few curve balls (DMX, Incubus, Elvis Presley), in glorious fashion. His face is completely serious, folks, right up till the end!
This trippy clip comes ahead of Grande's TRL appearance tomorrow night (July 2) on MTV. In case you missed the memo, the pop diva is resurrecting the blockbuster after-school special for one night only, to perform her current Hot 100 hit (acoustic-style).
"Problem" is the lead-in to Grande's sophomore disc, My Everything, set for release Aug. 25.

What do you think if i'm saying Christopher Warrington? It's only a guess! --Danniesen July 16 2010 10:40
it IS Cassius- in this image you can see the inquisitorial sqaud's footsteps with their names:
The image is from a video interview with Minalima, the films' graphic designers. as there are no other sources for Warrington's name, Cassius it is. Decat (talk) 05:20, January 9, 2013 (UTC)
- You need to provide the source of that image on the page for the image. Until you do, we have no way of distinguishing it from fanon and cannot accept it as a source. ProfessorTofty (talk) 05:34, January 9, 2013 (UTC)
It is indeed from an interview from Eduardo Lima and Miraphora Mina, specifically from the bonus material on one of the Harry Potter Wizard's Collection discs. You can see other stills from the interview here. I'll make the changes. Thanks! -- 1337star (Drop me a line!) 06:32, January 9, 2013 (UTC)
thank you for fixing that! Decat (talk) 09:10, January 11, 2013 (UTC)
Where does it say Warrington was still in the team in HBP? Since he's 17 in GoF, it seems way more logical that he was a 7th year in OotP —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lucava (talk • contribs).
- Please sign your comments on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~). There is still the chance that he had to take another year as he could have failed exams for his last year. Another thing is that the films sometimes contradict the canon. --18.104.22.168 06:14, January 9, 2013 (UTC)

40 Express — By Capt. Patrick Sciacca
— March 2003
High Desert to High Sea
|Part 2: A well-designed boat is only as good as her build, and as far I can tell, Cabo's is first-rate.
The 40's handling and performance are each a reflection of her hull design, which features a Carolina flare with a knife-like entry. Her entry aims to minimize banging while in a head sea, which I can't attest to on this test day, as I have flat-calm conditions in front of me. Her flare, in combination with lifting strakes, is geared to keep the 40 dry in most conditions. Sadly, I have no spray to deal with either. A 20.5-degree transom deadrise and deep prop pockets help with stability and reduce roll. In addition, the 40's keel, which runs aft from the turn of the forefoot and reaches its deepest point several feet forward of the transom before tapering back, provides some serious bite while she's underway.
Her basic hull shape is courtesy of well-known naval architect Michael Peters. Cabo's own design team took Peters' hull and developed the "deck, structure, machinery, and interior," says Phil Arnold, Cabo's chief engineer, in a phone interview after the test. Arnold adds that to optimize space and weight distribution, Cabo used 3-D modeling.
But a well-designed boat is only as good as her build, and as far I can tell, Cabo's is first-rate. My test boat, like all Cabo 40s, features a vacuum-bagged, solid-fiberglass hull and hull sides cored with PVC foam from the upper chine to the sheer. Even with the coring, the Cabo 40's no lightweight at 28,000 pounds (dry).
I maneuver the 40 to head back towards the marina as a large group of ominous storm clouds appears on the horizon. I give the wheel back to Tinkham and seize the opportunity to see if the fit and finish match her performance. I step below decks, and it seems the 40 has all her I's dotted and T's crossed. The first evidence of her fine detail is the joinerwork. The teak, which has a warm, blemish-free satin finish, is fit snugly and evenly. The wood is complementary to the standard beige carpet (teak and holly is a $3,675 option) in the saloon, which has 6'6" headroom and a leather L-shape lounge (a $5,800 option). The high-gloss dinette table to starboard is a cozy place for breakfast.
But first you'll have to rouse your crew out of the lounge, as it serves as guest quarters with an upper and lower berth. Since they're sleeping nearest the galley to port, they should have no problem starting the morning coffee with the coffee maker atop the Corian counter (also standard). If coffee isn't enough (why wouldn't it be?), the standard Kenyon two-burner cooktop and Panasonic microwave/convection oven are available. I can tell Hull No. 1's owner would rather fish than eat as I peek in the standard Norcold freezer (there's a refrigerator, too) and see a frozen pack of squid where the ice cream should be. It doesn't even look like he has slept on the queen-size pedestal berth in the forepeak master yet. However, no matter how intensely you fish, nature will eventually call, so the single head with VacuFlush MSD is just abaft the galley.
With the comforts of home below decks, the 40 reserves the cockpit for the fisherman. At 100 square feet it's complete with two five-foot-long fishboxes rigged with macerators, an in-transom livewell, a bait-prep center, an insulated icebox, and another icebox with optional ($3,680) freezer plates. Apart from the numerous rocket launchers on the tower, this owner has also ordered custom swivel rod holders and underwater lights to attract bait (squid love lights). I think he may need some more freezer space soon.
Tinkham tells me that the day before our sea trial, the owner raised a blue marlin, several king mackerel, and some mahi-mahi on his inaugural outing. That's not a bad haul for the first trip out of the box. Cabo is about 19 hulls out on the 40 Express (not a bad haul, either), and if it keeps building speedy, well-constructed, and highly finished boats like the 40 I tested, there will be many more Cabo owners and tales of successful fishing trips on the way. Even if they are built in the desert.

GSA's Online Auction Nets $22.5M for Oakland, California, Naval Hospital
July 25, 2002
Contact: Viki Reath (202) 501-1231
Washington, D.C. - The U.S. General Services Administration's (GSA) online real estate auction this month parlayed a $2 million opening bid on a mothballed, Oakland, Calif., Naval hospital into a $22.5 million sale. With the Naval Medical Center Oakland sale, GSA's online real estate auction sales now total $43 million for 55 federal properties, sold since 1998 in Alabama, Alaska, Nebraska, Nevada, Virginia, Washington and West Virginia, along with California.
Funds generated by the sale of the hospital on174 acres at 8750 Mountain Boulevard, known as Oak Knoll, will be used to offset U.S. Navy environmental remediation costs elsewhere, as required under Base Realignment and Closure Commission (BRAC) regulations. Bidding ended July 8. The property, which Navy acquired in 1942, was awarded on July 17.
"The Oak Knoll sale is one more example of GSA's ability to help federal agencies better serve their customers and the public," said Brian Polly, GSA's Assistant Commissioner for Property Disposal. "The federal government, the city and the taxpayers win all around, what with funds generated for Navy's environmental cleanups at other sites and plans to build housing, which also will be a catalyst for economic development."
Oakland's Greater St. Paul Baptist Church, the winning bidder, plans to build 500 single-family homes, along with a sanctuary, a home for the elderly and a school on the site, which is in the park-like setting with views of downtown Oakland and San Francisco.
Navy partnered with GSA, the federal government's chief landlord, to sell Oak Knoll, after years of unsuccessful negotiations with the City of Oakland. Negotiated sales of BRAC properties must be at fair market value, which was not achieved during the exclusive negotiations with the city.
"Disposal of surplus federal property is one of our most important governmentwide responsibilities," said F. Joseph Moravec, commissioner of GSA's Public Buildings Service. "Good life-cycle asset management requires the ability to professionally execute transfers and sales for the benefit of the American taxypaying public."
GSA is a centralized federal procurement and property management agency created by Congress to improve government efficiency and help federal agencies better serve the public. GSA acquires space, equipment, telecommunications, information technology, supplies and services for more than 1 million federal workers, with 8,300 government-owned and leased buildings in 1,600 U.S. communities.

Linnaeus Tripe
Tanjore, Great Pagoda, Great Bull as Viewed on Passing through the Last Gopurum
Linnaeus Tripe
English, 1822-1902
Tanjore, Great Pagoda, Great Bull as Viewed on Passing through the Last Gopurum, plate 10, 1858, from the album Photographic Views in Tanjore and Trivady, 1860
Albumen print from waxed paper negative
Image: 29.1 x 36.7 cm (11 7/16 x 14 7/16 inches)
Mary B. Jackson Fund 77.024
Linnaeus Tripe joined the British East India Company's army in 1838. While on furlough in England during the early 1850s, he began to experiment with photography. When he returned to India, the British government asked him to photograph selected architectural subjects in Burma and in the region around Madras in southeastern India as part of a mission to record and conserve these monuments. Between December 1857 and April 1858 he produced more than four hundred images in India, many of which were published in a series of volumes from which RISD's Tanjore photograph derives. Tripe had an interest in the medium's expressive as well as descriptive possibilities and composed this image carefully, giving thought to sightlines and a lively pattern of rich darks and lights.

I am hoping someone can advise before I lose all sanity!
Someone is graciously translating my website into Farsi and sending me the text in Word format (reads perfectly as one would expect) but when I copy it into Dreamweaver CS6 is goes awry. For example parenthesis (text) is replaced by )text( as well as exclamation marks ending up in the wrong place completely. If the pages were just Farsi it's simple but I have mixed Unicode characters and there doesn't seem to be a setting within HTML5 for bidirectional; that I can see. I am clearly out of my depth here, I freely admit that.
I am not a web designer, this is just a hobby so I don't fully understand code and learning the hard way. If there is anyone who could advise would be very greatly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance,Lee
There are several things going on by the sounds of things. I assume you know how to use SPAN if it is just a few words that need putting back to LTR or vice-versa. This might point you in the right direction. http://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-bidi-css-markup
Hello Robert,
Many thanks for your reply and the link. I did visit that page but just confused me more; I need to see examples of the code to understand. As it's only a few words I guess SPAN should do that but am I right assuming the following on Western characters?
<span class>="dir=ltr">Any Western Text</span>
I ask as I cannot see any examples online with reference to text direction using Span. Would it help if I posted the header and CSS to make sure I am not causing further issues?
Many thanks for your assistance,Lee
Well, it cannot harm if you send an example of the page in question to get a better idea of what is being applied.
Many thanks James,

I am hoping you will discover an obvious error which can be easily corrected, even someone with my low skills in web design, as I do plan to create a new website in the latter part of this year using Fluid Grid Layout.
Many thanks againLee
You should add dir="rtl" to the html tag any time the overall page direction is right-to-left even though Unicode is supposed to sort that out. In HTML you should use markup as directionality it is an integral part of the document structure and needs to be persistent.
Since the file will be saved as UTF-8 any English characters should read normally though I don't know about "cross browser" support? I cannot read Arabic myself so don't know if the font glyphs are displayed correctly in your pages. Albeit if you are getting weird rendering with the English parts you'd need to post a code sample. As the above CSS is only covering direction - not any content or structure.
Assuming the default language is Arabic. لا أتكلم العربية
An extremely crude rtl text direction version (using markup) would be similar to the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang=
"ar" lang="ar" dir="rtl">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content=
"text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
Test File
<style type="text/css">
body:lang(ar) {
font-family : "Traditional Arabic", serif;
لا أتكلم العربية
Obviously for a separate CSS file you have to consider direction and how the layout and block elements themselves flowed. UTF-8 would be in play here for simplicity.
Once again many thanks for your assistance. I have been considering the possibility of just using Arabic without any western characters but I need to talk with the person translating Arabic to get her view, but it's a fall-back if all else fails. I cannot also read Arabic, so I get the person translating Arabic to validate; without wanting to be rude, for most Westerners it will seem a mass of meaningless squiggles.
I have noticed that you are using "XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" and then set an additional language(?) and text direction.<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang= "ar" lang="ar" dir="rtl">
I am going to use your code on a blank website in the hope it resolves my problem, I will let you know either way. W3C does offer a tutorial (http://www.w3.org/International/tutorials/bidi-xhtml/) and explains the direction of text should be based on the "bidi algorithm" but it goes haywire then displaying characters with "neutral directional properties", so it's not an easy task.
Kind regards,Lee
Hello Robert,I have tested a new webpage with your code to mixed Western and Arabic text copied directly from Word. Whilst at first I thought it had failed, parenthesis showing in reverse )( but when viewed within a browser it works 100%. Your masterly efforts have removed one huge headache for me. Albeit you said "an extremely crude rtl text direction version" doesn't matter one iota because it does what it claims to do very well :D:D:D (first class)
I just wish there was a button to credit/highlight your skills in resolving my problem.
Many thanks indeed, Lee

Property values in parts of San Bernardino County are on the rise, a sign that the regional economy could be on the mend, county officials said Monday.
But it comes with a catch: higher taxes.
Increased values, according to Assessor Dennis Draeger, come after years of declines reported since 2008, when the Office of the Assessor began reviewing thousands of values across the county. In that review, more than 200,000 property values were reduced at a time when the Inland Empire's housing market was sinking.
But as the economy slightly brightens, Draeger on Monday projected that the 2013 assessment roll will show increases, a sign that the real estate market is recovering in some county pockets, he said.
Those increases, however, are a double-edge sword, said Draeger.
"This is a mixed blessing for property owners," he said.
Higher market values will mean spikes in assessed values, which equals higher property taxes.
Draeger acknowledged that potential on Monday, saying that just as there was no legal limit as to how much his office could reduce values in the recession, conversely there's no limit to how fast he can assess upward and raise taxes on that increase value - as long as they don't exceed limitations set into law by Prop. 13.
The assessor's announcement on Monday comes as recent economic reports show the Inland Empire's unemployment rate may finally escape double-digit territory this year.
And the housing market is showing some signs of similar - albeit spotty - promise, said those who work in the county's real estate market.
Cynthia Gomez, general manager of Century 21 Town & Country, in Ontario, said that home price increases are not happening equally everywhere in the region.
Foothill areas, including those in Fontana, Rancho Cucamonga, and Upland all are seeing large increases - as high as 15 percent year-over-year, she said.
"Some are still adjusting," she said, meaning they are not increasing or barely increasing in value.
Many of the reductions the county did in 2008 "were minimal," she said. "They did not go (down) to market value," she said.
Dave Coy, president of Lois Lauer Reality Century 21 in Redlands, said that the city of San Bernardino experienced a median price increase of 37 percent from March 2012 to March 2013, based on Multiple Listing Service numbers. The number of properties available for sale, in the city of San Bernardino, are down 42 percent, reflecting a regional shortage of houses for sale.
That shortage of inventory is still an issue.
Ken Galasso, broker for Sierra Realty in Fontana, said the shortage is creating an "unstable situation" in the market and that with multiple offers on some properties, there are times when appraisals don't justify the selling price.
Dan Harp, county assistant assessor-recorder, said he couldn't go into specifics Monday about where the county hot spots were for housing price increases, but his office wanted to get the word out that some homeowners might be seeing a property tax increase.
Postcards notifying individual homeowners are expected to go out in May, he said.
Although there will be property tax increases for some this year, Harp said he does not expect tax assessments for most county homeowners to climb back to the pre-recession levels "for many years. "

Port Arthur—one of the penal settlements on Tasman's Peninsula.
"This is the second country discovered by us," says 'Tasman.
The Hochstetter Fall is a curtain of broken, uneven, fantastic ice coming down 4,000 feet on to the Tasman glacier.
Hamilton mentions that the tradition of Tasman's visit in 1642 was still preserved.
Thus in 1770 the New Zealanders had no recollection of Tasman's visit.
He stopped this time at Nomouka, called Rotterdam by Tasman.
Tasman now sailed east, and after about a week at sea he discovered a high mountainous country, which he named "Staaten Land."
Tasman, who sighted Vanua-mbalavu in 1643, did not communicate with the natives.
From the hill above one of these lakes, we saw the snowy peaks of Tasman and Cook, fifty miles away.
It was so named by Tasman, who discovered it in November 1642.

Face recognition technologies can identify suspects and improve security and officer safety. These systems use multidimensional
imaging techniques to create facial images. Recent breakthroughs in high-resolution imagery show the most potential for improving
the accuracy of two-dimensional and three-dimensional facial recognition systems.
NIJ has funded the development and evaluation of still- and video-image approaches for facial recognition that will allow
law enforcement and corrections officers and court officials to correctly identify cooperative or noncooperative individuals
and to secure the identity of those individuals in the justice system.

text: The numbers Swellinfo is putting up for hurricane Bill are confusing. The interval can't be as long as they say it is with the size. The storm just isn't big enough. 10 ft. @ 17 sec. is being predicted for much of the coast and thats the number that starts Mavericks breaking??? I'm from Nor Cal and I know what it takes too make those swells and it takes a much larger storm. This is probably going to be a CAT 3 storm passing a few hundred miles offshore. That doesn't seem worthy of those generous interval numbers. At best the peak of the swell will arrive with 14 sec. behind it. Also, the interval will effect breaks differently because of swell refraction and those areas nearest to the continental shelf will be significantly stronger (OBX will focus more energy and surge as well as south facing spots like NY and RI). I'm expecting the significant swell energy to roll in around 5-8 ft. at 14 sec. These numbers are a little more believable and if you research other swell forecasts I think this falls more in line. I could be wrong but 10ft. @ 17 sec. sounds out of place to me. Perhaps the Swell Info guy can better explain the prediction.

|Although many courses offered by History faculty utilize films as pedagogical tools (particularly documentaries or films set in the past), we wish to create a course that will examine films, film-making, and film-spectatorship as particular kinds of historical evidence. We are choosing a general title, "History and Film", so that the specific content of the course, as well as its primary themes and approaches, may be adjusted for different faculty specializations. In all cases, a course on history and film would allow students to study the historicity of film, its significance as a cultural experience, its influential role as a political and ideological force, and as a preeminent form of mass media in the 20th century and beyond.

Chevrolet's Corvette line has a long tradition of innovation and experimentation that make it an icon of the automotive world. But with great innovations, there are great blunders along the way.
Some car lovers use the 1982 Corvette as an example of that fact. The car holds the title of seventh worst Corvette in Chevrolet's history.
The 1982 Corvette was the end of the line of sorts as the C3 Corvette design had lost most of its fan base. It had been used for 15 years, after all. The C3 was showing its age and its replacement wasn't ready for full production, so Chevy stretched out the C3 line for one last year by changing a few features.
Chevy added "Cross-Fire" fuel injection to the 5.7-liter, V-8 engine to bring total output up to 200 horsepower, which wasn't a lot of power considering the competition. The car maker also made the odd decision of ending the option of manual transmission, much to the shock of car watchers.
Even though the Collector's Edition of the 1982 holds the distinction of being the first to top the $20,000 pricetag, it was viewed as looking cheap and tacky. Edmunds called it "decorated like the boudoir of a Tatooine madam." It crossed designs from 'Star Wars' desert planet and a Wild West cathouse, which was not what Corvette shoppers were looking to buy.
The 1982 Corvette sells for between $12,000 and $20,000 in collector circles.

Can Liverpool become a global biomedical hub?
I have previously written about my visits to cities that have biotech clusters or aspire to have them, so thought it would be of interest to look at Liverpool, in the north west region of the UK.
The World Heritage city, most famous for the Beatles, is trying to boost its knowledge economy and, like many cities with universities and a teaching hospital, wants to promote biomedical innovation and generate more life science investment.
The big unanswered question is can Liverpool compete with the so-called Golden Triangle, bounded by Oxford, Cambridge and London, where most UK biotech companies can be found?
Last year, AstraZeneca announced it was closing its Alderley Park research facility (approx 38 miles from Liverpool, 18 miles from Manchester). In a major blow to the reputation of the north west of England as a base for biomedical R&D, the company said they would relocate 1600 R&D staff to Cambridge, where they plan to build a new £330M research facility.
The attraction of London as a global biomedical hub is also likely to increase once the Francis Crick Institute opens in 2015. A huge 79,000m2 facility is currently under construction next to St Pancras International Railway Station in west London, offering fast and efficient connections with continental Europe.
The participants and their investments are:
- UK Medical Research Council (£300 million)
- Cancer Research UK (£160 million)
- Wellcome Trust (£120 million)
- University College London (£40 million)
- Imperial College London (£40 million)
- Kings College London (£40 million)
The new high-speed rail network (HS2) from London that will significantly reduce journey times to regional cities, will sadly not reach Liverpool. It will, however, extend to Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds and Sheffield, making all of those regional cities much more attractive to entrepreneurs who want fast access to London.
So what does Liverpool offer you ask?
Dedicated VC funding
The North West Fund (European money to promote development and regeneration) has a £25M ($40M) biomedical sector fund, managed by Liverpool based VC firm Spark Impact.
I spoke with Investment Director, Dr Penny Attridge, who was positive about Liverpool's potential as a biomedical hub, despite the attraction of the "Golden Triangle":
An innovative company will obtain investment wherever it is located, but it's important in any cluster to have local investors who can provide valuable expertise. The funding available is, however, relatively small, and £19M has already been invested. For emerging biotech companies, the amount of money they need to fund clinical trials far exceeds what this fund can offer.
One only has to think of the $120M that Seattle based Juno Therapeutics attracted in its Series A initial funding round to put this in context.
Liverpool Science Park
Liverpool does have a Science Park located in the city center close to the University of Liverpool and Liverpool John Moores University
Dedicated infrastructure is necessary if you want to set up a biotech company. As Chris Mussion CEO of Liverpool Science Park told me, unlike a digital company you can't set up a life sciences company in your front room. You need a facility that provides properly equipped laboratories.
While the location of the Liverpool Science Park is in the heart of the city, it is competing with over 80 others in the country.
Also in the North West, the former AstraZeneca facilities in Alderley Park are set to become a new BioHub, which will initially provide 36,000 sq ft of space – yet more serious competition for Liverpool. Last month AstraZeneca announced the Alderley Park site would be sold to Manchester Science Parks.
How does Liverpool Science Park differentiate itself from all the others? I spoke to Chief Executive Chris Musson:
Network of Teaching Hospitals and a future bio-campus at Royal Liverpool University Hospital
There is a bio-campus planned as part of the construction of a new Royal Liverpool University Hospital. Much to my surprise when I turned up for an agreed interview with a hospital senior manager about the BioCampus plans, the Director of Communications banned them from providing any details. As a result all they said on the record is that the new bio-campus will provide facilities for small and medium companies. What these facilities are, how these companies will be funded, and what innovation/IP they will seek to develop remains to be seen. The devil as they say is in the details.
I was surprised at how unhelpful the Royal Liverpool University Hospital communications staff were, especially given the stiff competition they face for attention and awareness from the Golden Triangle and elsewhere.
While the hospital does participate in a lot of clinical trials, that in itself is not innovation, but leveraging your patient population. In my view, you need to create an entrepreneurial mindset within the clinical staff of a hospital or a university, something that more enlightened areas such as Southampton University do very well indeed.
Although Liverpool does have a Cancer Research UK Centre, if I were looking to locate an oncology drug develop company outside of the Golden Triangle, I'd look to being close to The Christie Hospital (in nearby Manchester). It's the largest cancer center in Europe and where Cancer Research UK is constructing a new research facility aimed at world-class excellence.
Liverpool is highly likely to attract some funding and develop some small life science start-up companies by dint of having a teaching hospital and expertise from local universities. There will always be local entrepreneurs and academic spin-offs who can access this funding.
Unfortunately, by the time the new bio-campus is developed, it will face increased competition from other regional centres with better connections and will find it tough to compete with the Golden Triangle.
To answer the original question – can Liverpool become a global biomedical hub – I really like Liverpool, and grew up on Merseyside, but the short answer to the question has to be answered with a brutally honest "No."
There are, however, things that Liverpool can do:
Firstly, those involved in the Mersey bio community need to be more media friendly in order to get the message out about what Liverpool does offer. In addition to my negative experiences with the Royal Liverpool University Hospital, the head of the merseybio incubator (designed as an environment for start-up biotech companies) did not respond to two phone calls and an email requesting an interview.
If you want to be positioned positively in the minds of potential investors and entrepreneurs you need to get your message out.
Secondly, I think Liverpool is too small a biomedical cluster to grow significantly on its own. What it needs is to create closer links with Manchester and other nascent biomedical hubs in the North West such as the one being built on the site of the former AstraZeneca R&D facility at Alderley Park.
A cluster needs access to people, infrastructure, investment and innovation. Liverpool needs to overcome it's traditional competition with Manchester (40 minutes away by train).
When I spoke to Robin Tudor from Liverpool John Lennon Airport, he said one thing the airport lacked it is global connectivity. Simply put you can't easily fly from Boston to Liverpool on a major airline. There's no service to Liverpool by a Star Alliance, SkyTeam or OneWorld carrier from a major hub airport in Europe.
Whether people in Liverpool like it or not, Manchester is the global gateway to the region.
If the UK government is not planning to extend the HS2 high-speed rail link to Liverpool (from London), then the Liverpool City Region should build it's own high-speed rail link to Manchester.
This would allow the creation of a North West of England regional biomedical cluster. It's hard not to see how this would create an economy of scale and infrastructure that would be more attractive for investment.
Whether there is the political will to develop closer ties to Manchester remains to be seen.
