Reuben Thorne reviews John Kirwan's Book 'All Blacks Don't Cry '...
14 January 2014
Enter the draw to win a copy worth $42!
Thank you to BUPA for donating the book to raise awareness about Mental Wellbeing with Older People and Health Professionals.
As a Rugby player who has played at international level, I found this book gave a very interesting insight to some of the pressures that many young sportspeople go through. Dealing with pressure, expectation, disappointment and self doubt is part of life for most people but these things are all exaggerated when put under the national spotlight. It is very hard to imagine how tough it must have been to deal with those pressures and a depressive mental illness at the same time.
This book gives an honest and open insight into the kind of thoughts and issues faced by someone with depression. However, the most enlightening and ( I believe ) useful part of the book is how JK openly discusses his path to 'wellness'. JK has obviously looked very long and hard into the reasons behind his depression, his place in the world and ultimately the things that really matter to him. Most people in his situation would not have the willingness or courage to open up like this.
I found throughout this book there were many thought provoking ideas and a good dose of plain common sense that would definitely benefit anyone facing depression but that would also benefit anyone facing a busy modern life. Things like ' taking time to appreciate the little things '
"I got up in the morning and I felt the shower. I enjoyed my coffee. I didn't worry about anything else but enjoying that moment"
learning to look after your physical health, nutrition, exercise etc and the importance of honest open communication especially with those dearest to you. It would be great if we could all be as self aware as JK has become through this process.
There are many nice contributions from some of the people who supported JK through this. From Mrs Kirwan Snr, Wife Fiorella, John Mayhew ( Doc ) and several All Blacks team mates who help give an insight to what they were seeing during this time and how they were able to help and support JK. The wisdom of his parents and the importance of a close family bond shines through as a lesson for all of us. Overall I found this a very interesting well written read that will benefit not only those who may be dealing with depression or know someone with depression, but It will also provide interesting food for thought for anyone dealing with the pressures of modern day life.
This book along with the TV commercials filmed by JK has already had a huge impact on those dealing with mental illness. Well done John Kirwan.
I enjoyed the book!

Extra comments from the sideline by Liam Butler
All Blacks Don't Cry is described by John Kirwan as A Story of Hope. It is John's personal account of developing a depressive illness whilst being a young All Black, his futile attempt at toughing it out and quest to find the right professional to help him get his life back from the brink of disaster...
"Ground zero. For me that day arrived in August 1991. I had been away on tour with the All Blacks to Argentina. It was a long tour, and a terrible time for me. The anxiety attacks I'd been experiencing for several years had become constant and painful."
All Blacks Don't Cry is no ordinary book. It meets its meritorious objective to help save people from depression...
"I'd like my story to be like the strong arm that reaches over the side of the rescue boat and plucks you out of the sea"
Michael Jones, David Kirk, Doc Mayhew and JK's wise wife, Fiorella, provide insight into both their and JKs fears of this illness. Former Rugby World Cup winning All Black Captain and successful Businessman David Kirk reflects...
"Later, I felt upset that he hadn't told me what was really going on. I think it's easy to underestimate friends, and I think friends are disappointed when they haven't been giventhe opportunity to help. That's the point of friends."
Michael Jones, is one of the most popular men to ever wear the All Black Jersey. He and JK were mates and JK refers to the fact that Michael reassured him that "he had a good heart".
For people who have served with people with depression know that good intentions are not enough. What is needed is a carefully planned and closely monitored management of the illness. For All Back Doctor Doc Mayhew this meant working with JK to develop the confidence required to search and use the therapies that worked. The depressive experience made JK think more carefully about his life balance. An indication what he values is that he includes the following about what the Priest that prepared him and Fiorella for marriage...
"Then he told me, and I'll never forget it: 'The problem with marriage is that people think it's the end, but it's the start. The day you stop working on the marriage is the day you will be at the beginning of the end. You'll be back in here look for a divorce."
The book concludes with and concise and precise Q & A with Lecturer and Clinical Psychologist Dr Elliot Bell which on its own is a very good resource. When the Q & A is combined with JK's frank, easy to read, pragmatic and hope filled story this book is a brilliant health promotion tool that saves lives.

ISCT: Technology Employee of the Semester
Information Systems, Communications and Technologies (ISCT) initiated an Technology Employee of the Semester (TEOS) program to recognize exceptional work in our department on (Monday, 13 June) 2005. The current semester's Employee of the Semester is:
Allan Paschall
Selected 1/22/2015
Please congratulate this individual if the opportunity arises.
Guidelines for TEOS are the following:
- Before an individual may participate in TEOS, a web page with photo and biography must exist on ISCT's departmental web page. This web page development is then posted on the bulletin board within ISCT, easily viewed in a place of honor by visitors.
- Consideration of exceptional work, the most improvement from past practices, or regular teamwork beyond the call of duty (such as after-hour work without comp time) should garnish a recommendation; not just personal preference reasons.
- The selection of a TEOS cannot be a rotation (passed around) but must be a decision based on the actual performance of the staff member during the previous semester. In other words, who was the most deserving for this kind of recognition last semester?
- The TEOS recipient is determined by from the recommendations of Technology personnel.
- A suitable container will be provided by the Administrative Assistant to hold and secure the recommendations for the full week before selection dates.
- Recommendations from staff members are requested the Thursday of the week before the defined semester begins.
- When making a recommendation (one per staff member), the name of the staff member for TEOS and the reason why you believe this individual earns the position of TEOS should be typed, using a computer and printed on white paper in black ink, Times New Roman font, size 14 to keep the recommendation anonymous. The full sheet of paper should be folded in half and then folded in half again with the name not showing through the paper. In other words, all recommendations must look exactly the same except for the name and reason within and the printed characters must not be showing through the paper.
- No monetary value, food items, slave labor, etc., may be promised for a recommendation!
The length of the four semesters are defined as such:
January 1 - June 30
July 1 - December 31
The following benefits are awarded to the TEOS champion:
- A special notation on Information Services' web page.
- A personal day off from work within the specific semester allotted.
*The Director or Information Technology has the last say in the determination of the TEOS each semester. This enables the Supervisors to be selected as TEOS for exceptional performance as well.

The Delta: On the Sacramento River, trollers are working areas of Isleton, up Cache Slough in the shipping channel and West Bank, using Rebels, Bombers, P-Line Angry Eyes, P-Line Predators and shallow-running Yozuris. They're also catching fish out of the mouth of Steamboat Slough.
Bait fishermen are using shad and sardines near the Rio Vista Bridge down to the Decker Island and Broad Slough.
On the San Joaquin River, striper trollers have been at the mouth of Santa Clara and San Andreas shoals, the Sounding Board, Old River Flats and up the Mokelumne River to B&W and Georgiana Slough. One angler was reported catching a 44-inch striper off the Sounding Board last Saturday, sharing the photo with the locals. Mike Cordell caught a 35-pound striper using a yellow- and orange-patterned Rebel by the Sounding Board last Sunday.
Bait fishermen are fishing the San Andreas and Santa Clara Shoals down to Eddos, using shad and sardines. Fish are running keeper size up to an occasional fish in the teens.
Bass anglers are having a great time right now. The warm weather is picking up and so are the numbers of fish. They're pitching crawdad-type baits, Senkos, Crank Baits and Spinner Baits along the rip-rap. Top-water lures are doing really good, such as Frogs, Zara Spooks and Buzz Baits.
Nick Melton caught an 8-pound largemouth bass on Wednesday and fishing buddy Mike Faught caught a 5-pounder. They were using crankbaits and frogs.
Lake Amador: Trollers are pulling Rapalas in black and silver and gold and orange, hot steel, small grubs behind Dodgers and pulling large flashers with nightcrawlers.
Bank fishermen are using Berkeley PowerBait in garlic flavors. Best colors have been rainbow, salmon peach and Captain America. They're also casting Bubbles with Wooley Buggers, Kastmasters, Rooster Tails, Magic Bullets and small Krocodiles.
Lake Pardee: Kokanee fishermen are fishing the mouth of the river and the main part of the lake. Best lures are small Dodgers with Mini Hoochies and Uncle Larry's spinners, Mr. Kokanee spinners and Mag Tackle tipped with a kernel of shoepeg corn. Best depth is 35-50 feet.
Trout trollers are working the main body of the lake to the south end, pulling Rapalas, Needlefish, Apexes, Excel Lures and GVF Spinners with a nightcrawler.
Lake Camanche: The catch on the lake is good and bad. The winds have been a problem. Best areas have been Big Hat, the dam to the river channel. Best depths have been 35-40 feet.
Fishing the south shore pond has been very good with the usual PowerBait, Berkeley Trout Worms, PowerBait, Berkeley Mice Tails and Kastmasters.
The top water bite is on for the black bass. They're catching fish up to 8 pounds on top-water lures, Senkos and Carolina Rigs.
New Melones: Kokanee fishing is excellent. The hot spots are Glory Hole Point, the spillway, inside the dam, Rose Creek down to Bear Cove. Best depth is 35-55 feet. Best lures are Rocky Mountain Dodgers, Vance's Dodger and Mag Tackle Dodgers with Micro Hoochies, Uncle Larry's spinners, and Mr. Kokanee spinners, GVF spinners and Mag Tackle Spinners, and Apexes.
Trout trollers are pulling small Dodgers with a nightcrawler, Rapalas, Needlefish and Excels. They have been rolling shad for the Browns down to 35-45 feet.
Bass anglers are throwing swim baits, dropping shotting and jigs.
Ocean: Salmon fishing is still doing great in areas of Santa Cruz, Half Moon Bay and Bodega.
Local fisherman Mike Faught is the owner of Fisherman's Friend in Lodi. To view the Fisherman's Friend website go to www.mrkokanee.com.

ROSAN V - Technical Notes
This ROSANV Technical Note is in response to all the inquiries during the Transportation Research Board Annual Meeting that was held in January 1997 in Washington, D.C., and subsequent phone, fax and e-mail inquiries. The primary interest appears to be in the areas of aggregate segregation measurement, texture measurement in general, and texture measurement in combination with noise measurement. Measurement of general surface features and the potential subsequent quantification of surface features also drew much attention.BACKGROUND
In January 1997, FHWA presented its ROad Surface ANalyzer R&D work, ROSANV to transportation professionals at the Transportation Research Board Annual Meeting in January in Washington, D.C. The primary objective of research staff was to get feedback from transportation professionals as to the need for and possible applications of ROSANV. The interest in ROSANV exceeded expectations and has resulted in a quickened pace to deploy the system.
The original and primary goal of the ROSANV project at FHWA's TFHRC Pavement Surface Analysis lab was the development of a portable and automated system for the measurement of pavement texture at highway speeds along a linear path as a replacement of the manual Volumetric Patch Method as outlined by ASTM-E965 and ISO 10844. This manual measurement procedure was known previously as the "Sand Patch Test". Volumetric Patch Method procedures are valid for concrete or asphalt paving whose surface has not been treated or designed for improved drainage (such as grooving, tining, or open-graded porous asphalt) or milled to remove rutting. Prior to the completion of the ROSANV research work, ASTM Committee E-17 approved in November of 1996, ASTM Standard E1845, "Standard Practice for Calculating Pavement Macro-texture Mean Profile Depth" from a profile of pavement macrotexture.
An automated measurement system such as ROSANV provides a larger quantity of valuable and less expensive texture data while greatly reducing the safety and traffic control problems inherent to the manually performed Volumetric Patch Method. The "v" in ROSANV stands for "vehicle-mounted" in that ROSANV can be quickly mounted on any vehicle using a temporary bumper hitch.
The following areas of application are feasible with the aid of ROSANV:
1. Texture measurements for Pavement Management Systems
2. Site specific texture measurements for safety investigations
3. Quality Control measurements for new
pavement for certifying pavement meeting
4. Combining friction testing equipment such as a
skid trailer with ROSANV for simultaneous
5. Texture and surface detail measurements (grooving, tining) in noise research studies
6. Faulting at joints and cracks
7. Joint and crack measurement summaries over a section of pavement
8. Quality Control measurement of sawed concrete grooves
9. Groove maintenance measurements for wear and debris
10 . Memory of repaved surfaces
Data collected during the R&D project and shown on the following pages illustrates the potential uses of the ROSANV system for the measurement of pavement texture and other surface features.
Jointed Concrete Pavement
Figure 1 shows a graph of ROSAN ETD (Estimated Texture Depth) for each one meter analysis window of 106 meters of a concrete pavement. ROSAN ETD is fairly consistent across the graph except for some "spikes" in the data. ROSANV can be used to look at individual analysis window surface profiles.
Figure 1. One meter ETD analysis windows of a jointed concrete pavement
Shown in Figure 2 is the analysis window for one of the "spikes". The profile clearly shows a typical wide runway joint in the pavement.
Figure 2. One meter wide window showing typical runaway segment joint.
These two figures demonstrate that ROSANV does record surface features but does not yet remove joints (or cracks and grooves) from the measurement of pavement texture. ROSANV does provide statistics for ROSAN ETD such as mean, median, minimum, maximum, standard deviation, and the number of analysis windows. Because of the effect of joints and cracks, ROSAN ETD median is a more representative number than ROSAN ETD mean. With joint and crack identification algorithms, it would be possible to measure faulting.
Grooved Concrete Pavement
Figure 3 shows a one meter analysis window profile of a grooved concrete pavement which was recorded at a one millimeter sampling interval and 100 kph. The grooving is clearly visible although the sharp edges of the sawed grooved are somewhat rounded.
Figure 3. Grooved concrete detail, 1 mm sample interval at 100 kph.
Figure 4 shows the same grooving with a sampling interval of .25 millimeters at 40 kph. The grooves now show a much sharper edge with more surface texture showing between the grooves.
Figure 4.
Figure 5 shows the results of an uneven height setup in the equipment that was used to cut the grooves. With groove identification, the program could provide groove width, depth, and pitch measurement summaries and possible compute a texture estimate between the grooves. A beam-based system with a laser could measure texture of grooved pavement as its travel path can be set between the grooves.
Figure 5. Uneven height setup of groove sawing equipment.
Asphalt Pavement and Aggregate Segregation
Figure 6 shows the graph of ROSAN ETD over a 148-meter length of asphalt pavement. The graph shows a large but expected variability in texture as compared to concrete pavement. A possible recurring pattern can be discerned within the graph.
Figure 6. Variable ETD for 148-meter section of asphalt pavement.
By using an analysis window that is four meters long, the pattern is more clearly visible as shown in Figure 7. Each of the "waves" is about 24-25 meters in length.
Figure 7. Four meter wide analysis window showing probable aggregate segregation.
These waves or "delta" pattern probably represent individual truck loads of asphalt and what is seen is the interaction of the truck with the paver and the processing of the load through the paver. FHWA R&D staff may observe a paving operation this spring -- record all paver, truck, and roller operations, and then use ROSANV to measure texture for correlation analysis with observed operations.
In August 1996, the ROSANV research team went to Wallops Island, Virginia, which is a small NASA research facility located near Chincoteage, Virginia. The airport at Wallops Island has a runway with a wide range of pavement types, treatments, and textures as the facility is used for runway friction measurement testing. Texture depth varies from 0.24 mm to 2.65 mm as measured using the Volumetric Patch Method.
Approximately a dozen different pavement sections of varying surface texture were recorded with the ROSANV system and the Volumetric Patch Method. For each pavement section, the ROSANV system was used to record data at five speeds (40, 60, 80, 100, and 110 kph) with each speed repeated three times. The same driver was used for all the ROSANV data collections. The driver used a "line of sight" method for positioning the vehicle a "fixed" distance offset from a longitudinal joint or seam.
A location marker placed in the roadway was used to identify the beginning of each pavement section as the laser would record this object. The vehicle used in the data collection has a calibrated distance pulser. The ROSANV system utilizes the distance pulser in "research operating mode" for computation of MPD in spatially fixed analysis windows along the traveled path. These analysis windows are normally one meter in length and therefore each window could be accurately located on the pavement for the corresponding Volumetric Patch Method measurement.
The three passes at 80 kph where used to locate the one meter analysis windows of interest for the Volumetric Patch Method measurement. Three Volumetric Patch Method measurements were made within each one meter window. A total of 150 analysis windows, or 450 Volumetric Patch Method measurements were taken and used as the basis for calibration.
ASTM Standard E1845 computes a Mean Profile Depth (MPD) based on a simple computational procedure and uses a linear transform for Estimated Texture Depth (ETD). The ROSANV system relies upon an algorithm that mimics the rubber pad (puck) movement across the pavement surface as used in the Volumetric Patch Method which may be more desirable for measuring MPD as it would be the Volumetric Patch Method measurements to which the system would be calibrated. The MPD computed using the ROSAN algorithm is denoted as RMPD.
Details of the statistical analyses and calibration procedures performed are too extensive to include in this document. The research team, in using the wide variety of data collected at Wallops Island, VA., were very pleased with the correlations found between the Volumetric Patch Method Results and the Mean Profile Depths (MPD) computed using the ROSAN MPD algorithms. The statistical tests and results will be included as a Research Reference Manual and will be included in papers to be submitted for publication.

- "What then will separate me from the gods of Naboo myth?"
- ―Palpatine
Naboo religion was polytheistic, with the Naboo worshiping many allegorical deities, such as the Goddess of Safety. The deity of Shiraya reflected many aspects common to lunar worship found in many Human cultures.
Naboo Ancient philosophers were revered and honored as enlightened gurus, and with the reverence of family ancestors, formed an important aspect in Naboo religious traditions. Paired statues of semi-legendary or archtypical gurus were prominently displayed in ranks on either side of the steps leading to the Theed Royal Palace. Natural elements also had an important role in their religion, and among them was the symbol of fire; the Naboo believed a dead body had to be cremated within two days to return the life force of the dead to the planet's core. The ashes were then thrown from the bridge between the temple and the Livet Tower, and into the Solleu River before its plunge over the cliff. The Naboo thought Chaos was kept unreachable thanks to seven impassable doors, and that is why seven laser gates were designed to protect the pit of the Theed Generator Complex on Naboo.
Many devoted holymen and holywomen formed monastic communities and orders, such as the Brotherhood of Cognizance, which focused on a particular deity or an enlightened guru. These religious orders were governed by a pontifex, and had a monastic hierarchy typical of many Human religious orders. Often the more ascetic orders were found in remote and isolated locations, preferring a life spent in solitude, without worldly distraction and centered on peaceful contemplation.
Religion's rites were performed by priests and priestesses such as the Naboo holyman who was responsible for the secret wedding ceremony of Padmé Amidala and Anakin Skywalker.

Hi, Forget my previous e-mail about the top-level transformer environment. I have realised that I have to handle namespaces. I came up with the following code, which I "stole" from DrScheme. (define nn (let ([ns (null-environment 5)]) (parameterize ([current-namespace ns]) (namespace-require '(file "my-module.scm")) ) ns)) (current-namespace nn) In my module I have overwritten the #%top and #%app macros and I have a couple other macros. If I list them with (namespace-mapped-symbols nn), they are there and it looks fine. When I execute any of my functions, they work, but when they return they generate an error message, and every time a different one!! For example in DrScheme: > (current-namespace nn) > w dynamic-require: unknown module: #%mred-kernel > (+ 2 3) reference to an identifier before its definition: cursor% > (setq e 3) reference to an identifier before its definition: menu-item% > (print e) 3 > Interestingly printing does not generate this error. Can someone tell what is the problem? How can I correct this behaviour? Thanks, Peter Ivanyi _____________________________________________________________________ Nyári slágerek a T-Online Zeneáruházban! http://zenearuhaz.t-online.hu

Someone asked Eleanor Hagan if she enjoyed the view atop the Route 52 bridge into Ocean City during a 13-mile bike ride held Sunday as part of the inaugural Move For The Cure event she organized.
"I said, 'Are you kidding?' All I kept thinking was, 'I think I can, I think I can,'" she said after pedaling up the steep incline.
Hagan might have been more exhausted just from working to put together the fundraiser that helped the National and American Parkinson's foundations. It also included a run, a yoga class and a wellness expo at her physical therapy center, Body in Balance in Linwood.
Nevertheless, she said it went well, attracting hundreds of people and likely raising thousands of dollars.
"It was a nice community event," she said.
Hagan, 62, of Northfield, said the event's success could have also been measured by the joy it brought the participants and volunteers, many of whom Hagan said had Parkinson's disease yet helped tremendously.
"I couldn't have done this by myself," she said. "I have a lot of people to thank."
April is Parkinson's awareness month, and Hagan specializes in Parkinson's treatment, hosting weekly support and exercise programs at her facility on Central Avenue.
More For The Cure is planned to be held annually from now on, Hagan said, and she was already making notes about how to make it better.
One thing she said she hopes to maintain for future years, though, would be Sunday's sunny sky and warm temperatures.
"You couldn't have asked for better weather," she said.

West Point Stables' Macho Again had a solid work this morning for trainer Dallas Stewart at Churchill Downs May 30, going a half-mile in :48.20 over the fast main track under exercise rider Kenny Borque. The move ranked 11th of 55 at the distance.
"It was very good work," Stewart said. "We opened him up a little, and I liked the way he finished. He came home in :11, so we were pretty happy with him."
Stewart said he would ship to Belmont Park June 3, as the colt will run in the June 7 Belmont Stakes (gr. I).
A son of Macho Uno bred in Florida by Milan Kosanovich out of the Wild Again mare Go Donna Go, Macho Again was second to Big Brown in the Preakness Stakes (gr. I), beaten 5 1/4 lengths after a troubled trip. Prior to that start, he won the 7 1/2-furlong Derby Trial at Churchill Downs April 26. He was a $150,000 purchase from the OBS select sale of 2-year-olds in training in 2007.

In the short months he has been in the speaker's chair, it is fair to say that Peter Slipper has made the role his own.
Flowing gown? Check. Dapper bowtie? Check. Sombre parliamentary processions? Check.
Unfortunately, when it came to political scandals, the member for Fisher has also been able to tick a resounding yes.
Ugly front page scandal? Check.
Yesterday was supposed to be the day when Slipper returned to that comfy speaker's seat, with the Cabcharge claims done and dealt with. Sure, the civil sexual harassment allegations may have been unresolved, but that was not going to hamper his ability to boom ''Order!'' with the sonorous command of the Pavarotti Police.
At least that was the plan until the Cabcharge thing failed to resolve itself quick smart, MPs of all stripes yelped about a premature Slipper return and Julia Gillard moved to shunt him indefinitely … until all the claims against him were sorted. So, yesterday, Slipper fronted the House. But instead of getting his Pavarotti on, he said a (temporary) goodbye.
There was crazy chatter around Parliament that Slipper would parade into the chamber, in his familiar ceremonial style, before he stood aside. But all of that came to an unprovocative naught.
When he addressed the House at 2pm, the member for Fisher was in his gown and a white tie (the Slipper equivalent of a suit) but that was as fanfare-y as it got.
With the prayers and acknowledgement of country over, Mr Slipper - his hands shaking, his voice steady - restated his innocence, lamented the ''trial by media'' culture and said he had more to do in the role. ''I look forward to completing what I have begun,'' he said.
With that, a slight bow and one helluva glare in Christopher Pyne's direction, Slipper gave himself the slip. He was gone.
It wasn't an ideal scenario, but one wonders if Craig Thomson wishes he could have done the same.
Instead, the member for Dobell made his debut on the crossbenches. As is his usual stone-faced style, Thomson either kept his eyes on his tablet device or stared fixedly in the middle distance. If I don't move, maybe no one will notice I'm in a different spot … Or that I'm even here at all. But the crossbench newbie did perk to attention when Pyne moved a motion to try and get him booted from the parliament for 14 days.
It wasn't successful, along with the Coalition's closer run shot at bringing back Harry Jenkins as Speaker.
But it did show that no matter which seat you have, there's no place to hide in the House.

Why JetBlue is a Great Place to Work
- By Mary A
- Destinations
- 06.10.2016
Finding a great place to work is tough. We all want to enjoy going to the place where we earn our living, but that is not always possible. We also want to work for a company that pays a fair wage and gives us the opportunity to advance within the company. When people find such a place, they stay there as long as they can.
Over the last few years, many people have seen their lives change dramatically. They have lost their jobs to a recession that has hit all parts of the globe. They have lost their houses and seen their savings dwindle. If they kept their jobs, the prospect of longer hours and no chance of a raise or promotion loomed large. Workers would see their retirement accounts rise and fall at the whims of the stock market. The security that was so prized for so long was now gone. Workers would now have to change their expectations regarding employment and their futures.
As this new shift emerged, some companies also had to rethink their workforce requirements. Many companies had to trim their workforces. Smaller workforces could possibly lead to lowering standards. The companies that were used to doing business a certain way would have to change their philosophy. Could they expect more productivity from fewer workers? Would the quality of the services or products that they provide suffer as well? Companies and workers had big decisions before them. And many didn't know the answers to the big questions.
One company that did know the answers was JetBlue Airlines. JetBlue was founded on the premise of restoring flight travel to where it once was. And to do that, they needed a certain type of employee. They needed people that were dedicated to doing things the right way the first time. JetBlue knew that travelers would not continue to use their airline if they weren't satisfied with the service. That's why they seek only the best to join the ranks of their thousands of happy employees.
JetBlue.com has a special section called Work Here that is dedicated to hiring the people that keep their planes in the air and their customers happy. Work Here gives prospective employees all of the information that they need about the various job opportunities that exist at JetBlue Airlines. All job opportunities, benefit packages and job qualifications are listed. There is even a section where current employees tell their stories of working for JetBlue Airlines. If a prospective employee wants to apply immediately, application forms can be filled out and submitted online. It shows that JetBlue is ready to add people to their workforce any time of day.
The companies that are going to survive this economic downturn are the companies that invest in the best workforces. These companies will be able to deliver the most to their customers. They will also be able to help the economy rebound by giving everyone access to fair wages and a good workplace environment. JetBlue seems like one of the companies that will survive.

The library is a place of mystery…It all started about a year ago. While walking through the stacks in the non-fiction room, I noticed a stack of three books lying flat at the end of a shelf, clearly out of place. This is a fairly common occurrence. Yet, as I picked them up to place them on a shelving cart, I noticed that they all were books from the 530 section of the Dewey Decimal System: Physics. What's more, it suddenly clicked for me that I had been seeing Physics books left in odd places for some time. I began to pay attention.
A couple of times per week, on average, we find three (occasionally four) physics books lying on their sides in some odd place in the collection. Often, they're in the Reference area. Sometimes history, or poetry. They move around, and it's not the same three titles. But they are always Physics books.
Two weeks ago, it was these:
The Future of Spacetime 530.11 FUT
Was Einstein Right? Putting General Relativity to the Test 530.11 WIL
The New Time Travelers: A Journey to the Frontiers of Physics 530.11 TOO
Last week's selection included:
Physics on the Fringe 530.11 WER
The Grand Design 530.14 HAW
Einstein's Cosmos 530.11 KAK
And this week, we have:
Trouble with Physics 530.1 SMO
The Quantum Universe 530.12 COX
E=mc2 530.11 BOD
We don't know the meaning of it. We see no real consistency in the themes or hypotheses represented by the titles, but it's possible we're missing something! If you are our "Physics Phantom", or if you have a theory about what someone is trying to tell us, leave a comment and let us know!! We're intrigued!

Hooked on Adrenaline, is a work of fiction based on real life experiences. It is an adventure/romance about a young man and his journey through life always seeking adventure and finding the love of his life on the way. Packed with "gems of wisdom" it makes Brad wise far beyond his years but hopefully helping the younger audience through some of the speed bumps in life. Right from the start, Hooked on Adrenalin pulls the reader into a late '50s Key West and the fast-paced exciting life of young hero, Brad Parker, a recent underage returnee from the battlefields of Korea. Within the first few pages, Brad meets his soul mate and life mate, Anne, then is unexpectedly sucked into an underwater cavern during an underwater construction project. There he finds a World War II Japanese mini-sub and the mystery surrounding it. Caches of cash, drug runners, kidnappings, and moonshiners all fill the pages of the book with excitement, mystery, and a bond so strong between Brad and Anne that nothing can break. The flavor of Old Key West is everywhere in the book. As Brad and Anne scuba dive, build a business, and solve mysteries, the reader will find themselves on the edge of their chair, unable to stop reading. Moreover, although at the end of the book they motor off into the sunset looking for new adventure, storm clouds are brewing on the horizon as the family of the drug runners head for Key West to start the business again and seek revenge.

Explicit Vapor Pressure Prediction from the PRSV Equation
of State
Amy Miller and Dr. Misovich, Hope College Engineering Department
Department of Physics and Engineering
The PRSV equation is a cubic equation of state that can be used to accurately estimate the vapor pressure of a substance by an iterative algorithm. When vapor pressure and phase densities are expressed as power series expansions about the critical point, they can be written as explicit functions of temperature, a more convenient computational strategy. Previous research successfully applied this strategy to the Peng-Robinson (PR) equation but a major hurdle in adapting this work for PRSV was the presence of an additional parameter, κ1, in the equation. Hence, the PRSV series coefficients contained two parameters instead of the single parameter present in the PR series. An improved method for evaluating the partial derivative expressions used in finding the series coefficients was developed and programmed in Maple® 10 mathematical software. This allowed the series coefficients to be evaluated principally in terms of polynomials in the two parameters. Quantification of truncation error from the series is ongoing.

JVC DLA-RS20 Projector Review
Audible noise
Audible noise While many find even the noisiest home theater projectors pose no problem for them, I do get a lot of comments from those who really insist upon a very quiet projector. Most of them simply don't want to hear any fan noise when there's a very quiet scene on the screen. This is compounded, particularly, if your projector is ceiling mounted, and almost directly above your head. Those shelf mounting up high, in back of their room, have the advantage of normally sitting closer to the screen, and that the shelf itself can absorb or deflect some of the sound, away from the viewer.
The JVC RS20, is quiet enough in its low lamp mode (labeled Normal), that virtually no one should have an issue with it. With the lamp on full power (High mode), the RS20 is about average. And that means some folks will take issue with the fan noise. Not many, I suspect, but some. To a large degree this is a personal thing, as some folks just don't notice it. Many hardcore enthusiasts, though, in their search for perfection, find any flaw distracting, be it fan noise, the slightest color imbalance, so-so black level performance, etc.
I mention all of this because the RS20 will appeal strongly to the enthusiast. The good news is that, I do believe the RS20, a little quieter than the older RS1 and RS2, will be found by most buyers, critical or not, to be satisfactory even in its High lamp mode. For those that aren't, the choices are pretty slim. Mitsubishi and Panasonic projectors for example are extremely quiet, and affordable, but they aren't in the same class, in terms of picture quality.
Fancy features
Fancy features Not a strength of the RS20. This JVC is more of a purist's projector. As such, it doesn't sport a dynamic iris. In fairness, it doesn't need one, but geez, how black could the black levels get on dark scenes if it had one? It also isn't capable of 120fps output from 60fps sources. It does however take 24 frame per second source material (primarily Blu-ray disc) and output at 96fps (4:4). On the other hand, it doesn't do creative frame interpolation. Of course these are all brand new features in the home theater projector market. (I do like creative frame interpolation when viewing sports.) I suspect the next generation may offer some of these, but, I wouldn't trade the RS20's overall picture quality for any of these features. If I would, I'd be looking at Panasonic PT-AE3000 and Epson UB series projectors. Given a choice, I'll take the JVC's picture quality over another projector, not quite as good in that regard, but loaded with the fancy features. Most of us will.
Bottom Line
The JVC DLA-RS20 and HD750 are not inexpensive. With a price tag (MSRP) currently over $7000, you are paying twice the price or more, compared to some really very fine projectors. This JVC is, however, a step up! In this case, though, if you want great picture quality, if it works in your environment for your types of viewing, and if the budget isn't a deal breaker, I don't think you can do better.
More simply stated: The JVC DLA-RS20 is pricey compared to the much of the competition, but is definitely worth the difference. Rather than talking about price/performance, let's just say it is an excellent value proposition – you'll get your money's worth!

I've just finished reading the Legends of Dawn review here on IGN. I can't help but feel sorry for those how backed what seems to be a terrible, unpolished game. It clearly shows that just because you have an idea for a game, you don't have to make it. Now I've not played the game, and this blog isn't going to be all about Legends of Dawn, but when we've been given games like FTL: Faster Than Light because of Kickstarter, is it a good or bad service?
First of all, let's look at this from the developers point. An indie team now has the opportunity to make a game they've always wanted to make; one that may not catch the attention of a publisher, yet may appeal to a lot of gamers. This is great for them, surely they'll enjoy working on a project they have a strong passion for. We have to question whether passion is enough. The developers of Legends of Dawn wanted to make a hardcore RPG. There's not as many of these nowadays and with the popularity of Dark Souls, a hardcore RPG would be enjoyed by many gamers. The concept worked, and the project was successfully crowd funded. That's great for the developers, but all that money has gone to a game that no one has yet played. If there was a demo, would the amount funded be less? I think in circumstances it would. So this is a way for developers to make a game even if it's not going to be good. That's not right in my opinion. We've seen games, as I mentioned FTL earlier, that have been crowd funded and have received good reviews. So why would they make FTL without a publisher? Firstly, a publisher may not be interested or have confidence in the developers (not saying that the team who made FTL aren't talented, I love the game!). Also, not having a publisher gives the developers complete freedom to add what they like to their game.
Overall, Kickstarter is a way to fund a bad game or make a brilliant one.
Now lets look at this from the consumers -our- viewpoint. When funding a game on Kickstarter, you are essentially pre ordering the game (unless it says otherwise). I don't like to think of it that way, but it's true. You can go on the site and you could find a concept you like. Without a demo, or extensive amounts of screenshots and gameplay videos, it remains a concept. I'm against Kickstarter projects not having a demo or video. To me, it shows a lack of confidence in the game. I'm not saying that you shouldn't Kickstart games, but please be wary. Another thing to think about is older franchises. The game I'm most excited about is Torment: Tides Of Numenera. This doesn't have a gameplay trailer nor a demo, but I have every bit of confidence that this game will be truly amazing. Why? Because the developers have already made tonnes of brilliant games. I'd like to see more spiritual successors to much loved games, but publishers might not want to do that. Again, the developers can go to Kickstarter to fund the game. In the case of Torment, this is great! They'll be no one to restrict the ideas that made the original Torment so fantastic. Maybe this is the start of the rebirth of many much loved games.
What are your opinions on Kickstarter? Let me know in the comments.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 2/2/2014 (1271 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
MONTREAL -- A quarterback controversy can eat up a football team, dividing and devouring it. But two goaltenders battling for regular work in the crease can be a coach's dream.
Al Montoya continued to make his case for an increased workload in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Montreal Canadiens, stopping 30 of 31 shots en route to being named the first star.
He is now 2-0 in his two starts under new coach Paul Maurice, was the first star in both games and has kicked out 59 of the 61 attempts fired his way.
"This is big for us," said Montoya. "To come into a building like this... we knew they played (Saturday, a 2-1 OT loss to Tampa) so we had to jump on them in the first period. Give it all to the guys: We battled. We might not have had it the whole night, but we put it together when we had to and good things happened.
"We battled. We kept them to the outside and, for the most part, I knew where everything was coming from. I made that first save and the guys were there to battle. For the most part, it was a single shot and just keep the puck in front of me. We knew they had good point shots. We knew they all funnel to the net. Basically, we took care of what we had to."
Now the question is, will Montoya start Tuesday in Raleigh as the Jets' four-game road trip continues with a matchup against the Carolina Hurricanes?
Maurice won't provide any hints, but it's clear Montoya deserves another start ASAP.
"When he played the way he did in Chicago you know you've got to get a guy like that back in within seven to eight days at the most," said Maurice. "Otherwise he's starting from scratch all the time. He played so well, just like he did tonight. He made some great saves. He just plays well when you put him in the net.
"That's great for our team to know that feeling, that whoever is in the net they have confidence in and I'm happy for him."
GALLAGHER, THE PEST: Canadiens forward Brendan Gallagher may be small, but he is a master shift-disturber. He took three minor penalties against the Jets -- one of which ended a power play -- but did earn kudos from the Jets.
"He's tough," said Jets defenceman Mark Stuart, who battled Gallagher all afternoon. "He's a tough little bugger. We had a couple good battles in front. It's all in the battle. He's not a very big guy and he gets in there in front and doesn't let guys push him around. You respect guys like that."

|Art professor Phyllis Galembo documents customs behind costumes.
* Garlic, anyone? -- Whether to ward off vampires this Halloween or cancer and heart disease, garlic is often a cross between modern science and folklore. Professor Eric Block, one of the world's foremost experts in Allium chemistry, has researched organic compounds in garlic. His book Garlic and Other Alliums: The Lore and the Science, will be published in 2009.
* Halloween: A creepy good time, but not just for kids! -- Halloween is still popular among children and adolescents, but it has also grown into a major adult holiday. Last year, more than 85 percent of 18-24 year olds celebrated the holiday in some way, representing the largest segment of those partaking in the fun. Sociologist Richard Lachmann can offer insight into the popularity of Halloween and its place in American pop culture.
* From Dora the Explorer to Obama and McCain masks -- Trick-or-treaters have been showcasing their senses of humor, interests and creativity with their favorite costumes on Halloween for generations. In her book Dressed for Thrills: 100 Years of Halloween Costumes and Masquerade, art professor Phyllis Galembo documents the customs behind costumes from all over the world.

Campus Resources and Planning Committee
October 16, 2008
Members Present: Pete Wyckoff, Shannon Juhnke, Kathy Julik-Heine, Karen Cusey,
Ray Schultz, Lowell Rasmussen, Dave Swenson, Sara Haugen,
LeAnn Dean, Zak Forde, Maddy Maxeiner, Bryan Herrmann,
Brook Miller
Visitor: James Morales
Minutes of 9/25/08 meeting approved as presented. Minutes of 10/2 were approved as amended. Minutes of 10/9 were approved as amended.
Continued discussion on Enrollment Strategies
Visit Experience Overhaul
James noted that periodically we take a look at how we host visitors and it's time to rethink and revise the format for visit days. In the past, we have not had a structured format, but we will now include a formal welcome from a senior administrator delivering key messages about the Morris experience. We also need to showcase our accomplishments that point to UMM's academic and co-curricular distinctiveness. As an institution, our programs are what have built our reputation and will sustain us in the future. We should showcase the use of technology as evidence that students will not be isolated from the outside world.
Another preliminary idea is to have Discipline Open Houses for admitted students. The goal would be to address an area of concern that these admitted students would have at this critical point in their decision-making process. This could be discipline-specific and will be the main "take away" experience for the student. As an example, the Chemistry discipline might help students learn how to use a specific piece of laboratory equipment or the Music discipline might offer students a 15 minute music lesson and then be part of an ensemble comprised of their admitted student peers under the direction of a faculty member. This would let students interact with each other and with their future professors in addition to seeing the faculty of the college in action. This would allow admitted students to see the value-added elements of a UMM education. Shannon suggested that admitted students should be allowed to sign up for things they are interested in not just necessarily their major. Brook asked if the number of visits have gone up and if that corresponds to our applications numbers that have increased. James reported that overall our summer program visits and individual visits are up.
Pete asked if there are programs we should be offering and wondered how we are selling our current disciplines/programs. He thinks the idea of a discipline open house is a good one and noted that at his previous institution during reunion weekend, interesting topics were offered that were geared towards alums. He added that there is a continuing frustration for many disciplines about what information prospective students are receiving on the campus tours. He would like to see a training session that involved people from each discipline to help Campus Ambassadors give meaningful and accurate information to prospective students. Zak asked if there was a way for us to help students who might not have a way to get here for a visit. James said we do have a travel reimbursement waiver available for those who meet the qualifications.
Degree Programs
With regard to degree programs, James has three key points he would like to address:
1) Develop, implement and better promote the connections we have within the University system between our undergraduate experience and professional and graduate schools.
2) Refresh, redevelop and market GenEdWeb as a way to tap into the online market and make ourselves a player in this arena.
3) Revamp our catalog and any communication pieces to capture student interest rather than simply listing programs and policies.
Shannon suggested having an online version of the catalog that is more user-friendly. Zak would like to see a concise, Readers Digest version available.
Pete asked based on what the Admissions office is hearing from prospective students, if there are programs we should be offering and what program are getting no response. James responded that environmental studies/science and Chinese are two that come up repeatedly. He also mentioned that he did a survey of our top 10 competitors (some of which include St. Olaf, Concordia-Moorhead, Luther, SCSU, UMTC, UMD, UW-Madison, and St. Thomas) and he believes we are the only school that offers an American Indian Studies major and a European Studies major. Bryan said that nursing is another program that students are interested in. James mentioned that at the national college fair, he heard quite a bit of interest in athletic training.
Sara would like the Admissions Office to think about how we can use our alums more to show prospective students that they can be successful with a liberal arts education.

Effect of soil nitrogen stress on the relative growth rate of annual and perennial grasses in the Intermountain West
- First Online:

A high relative growth rate (RGR) is thought to be an important trait allowing invasive annual grasses to exploit brief increases in nitrogen (N) supply following disturbance in the Intermountain West. Managing soils for low N availability has been suggested as a strategy that may reduce this growth advantage of annual grasses and facilitate establishment of desirable perennials grasses. The objective of this study was to examine the degree to which soil N availability affects RGR and RGR components of invasive annual and desirable perennial grasses. It was hypothesized that (1) invasive annual grasses would demonstrate a proportionately greater reduction in RGR than perennial grasses as soil N stress increased, and (2) the mechanism by which low N availability decreases RGR of annual and perennial grasses would depend on the severity of N stress, with moderate N stress primarily affecting leaf mass ratio (LMR) and severe N stress primarily affecting net assimilation rate (NAR). Three annual and three perennial grasses were exposed to three levels of N availability. RGR and components of RGR were quantified over four harvests. Moderate N stress reduced RGR by decreasing LMR and severe N stress lowered RGR further by decreasing NAR. However, reduction in RGR components was similar between invasive and natives, and as a consequence, annual grasses did not demonstrate a proportionately greater reduction in RGR than perennials under low N conditions. These results suggest managing soil N will do little to reduce the initial growth advantage of annual grasses. Once perennials establish, traits not captured in this short-term study, such as high tissue longevity and efficient nutrient recycling, may allow them to compete effectively with annuals under low N availability. Nevertheless, if soil N management does not facilitate the initial establishment of perennials in annual grass infested communities, then there is little likelihood that such techniques will provide a long-term benefit to restoration projects in these systems.

Flower Foods announced Friday that they will open a bakery in Knoxville, eventually bringing in up to 100 news jobs.
The bakery will be located on NW Park Drive in North Knoxville, and is scheduled to open in late May. It will initially employ 60 people, but that number is expected to increase as more production shifts are added.
"I want to thank Flowers Foods for investing in Tennessee, and I appreciate the new jobs being created in Knox County," Gov. Bill Haslam said. "Expansions like this one serve as the greatest endorsement of Tennessee's workforce and today's announcement supports our goal of becoming the No. 1 location in the Southeast for high quality jobs."
"I'm pleased Flowers Foods chose to expand here in Tennessee, furthering our world renowned reputation as a state where the artisan spirit continues to flourish. Whether it's ice cream, M&M's, or bakery foods, Tennessee prides itself on producing high quality goods enjoyed around the United States and the world," Economic and Community Development Commissioner Bill Hagerty said. "I appreciate Flowers Foods' investment and the additional jobs being created for our communities. I look forward to their continued presence and success in Tennessee."
"We're excited to be opening Flowers Baking Co. of Knoxville," said Gene D. Lord, Flowers Foods executive vice president and chief operating officer. "This bakery will be producing Nature's Own, Merita, and Wonder breads and will help us meet the increasing demand for these breads in a region that encompasses parts of Tennessee, North and South Carolina, and Virginia."
Flowers Foods is headquartered in Thomasville, Georgia, and is one of the largest producers of fresh packaged bakery foods in the United States. They produce brands like Nature's Own and Tastykake.
"As we have said since acquiring the Hostess bread assets last summer, our plan is to open bakeries as we need additional production capacity to meet market demand," Lord added. "The Knoxville bakery is strategically located to help us serve the market in this region with great-tasting, high-quality breads."

Rounding Up Gartner's AADI Summit – Part I: APIs in the "Nexus of IT"
Last week was a good one for APIs in Las Vegas. Gartner brought together the enterprise architecture and integration crowd for its annual Application Architecture Delivery & Integration Summit. The annual show focused on corporate app development and the integration/API/SOA space is something central to the mobility challenges of today's enterprise. What I've always liked about Gartner events is that they are mostly about hearing analyst perspectives on pertinent business and IT issues, and then highlighting useful case studies of practitioners. It's not vendor heavy. But this year, sessions focused on Web APIs were packed with heavy note takers. It was clear that APIs are top of mind for lots of enterprise IT pros.
The summit keynote summarized today's IT challenges to a tee: we are fully in a world where the center of the universe is our users, each with higher expectations of IT. Post-last decade's consumerization of IT, we must now learn to thrive in what Gartner calls the "Nexus of Forces". It's the coming together of the really significant tech trends of cloud, social, mobile and information (big data). The idea is basically that enterprises must be able to empower their users, customers, and partners to leverage IT wherever and whenever they are and in their context. It's something we here at Mashery have been espousing for a number of years.
One of the key enablers for technology teams delivering solutions for the nexus is the humble API. APIs are not new, but what people are doing with them is. In the AADI keynote, Jeff Schulman gave examples of the future of the Internet of Things, where pervasive connectivity will drive incredible proliferation of smart devices. He spoke about his home irrigation system that has saved him 60% on his water bill and his love affair with his app-controlled Nest thermostat. These devices deliver on their features via APIs they provide or interact with. Gartner predicts shifts like this across business will amount to:
- A 30% jump in spending on IT application integration projects.
- Another striking number was that they expect 50% of mobile and cloud project costs will be related to integration.
These are big jumps.
Next week in Part II, we'll cover some of the specific thoughts delivered onstage at the summit, including the definition of a creature we call "SOAsaurus," and how not to become one. In the meantime, why not let us know how Mashery can help your API programs, and help you integrate to succeed.

Im probably in the sky, flyin wit da fishes, or maybe in the ocean, swimmin wit da pigeons.
I remember this one guy who changed my mind about being licked. I was very NO about it because of previous experiences, but it turned him on and he said I tasted good, so whatever.
How a woman tastes is what she eats, so the saying "you are what you eat" has some truth to it.
Feliks owns you.
Feliks: "In conclusion: What's the point of asking me if you don't look first? That just makes you a postwhore?
Kayone707: "And it makes you suspended."
yeah the chick was big and ate junk food soyeah. but every girl ever after that enjoyed it...alot.
this one female tasted like strawberry milk I shit you not
My first time was nothing special... I was 15 and nobody was supposed to be home for the next half hour so i fingered her till she finally wanted to fuck and then she asked if I had a condom. Slipped one on and went for about 15 minutes. My dad came home one minute after I came. I ended up going out with her for another 6 months and we fucked about every other day during that 6 month relationship with the exception of ragtime.
I have a fat cock.

"He has bought up a lot of land next to his original farm, but there are a still a few bits left," she said.
A spokesman for Raine and Horne in Coffs Harbour confirmed the property had been sold for just under $650,000, but he was reluctant to confirm Crowe as the new owner.
"The new owners are currently living in Sydney," he said. "But let's just say there's an unusual twist."
Sporting a new haircut (which some observers have politely described as a "blond bob"), Crowe visited Palm Island on Thursday with his band, 30 Odd Foot of Grunts.
The band performed for defence personnel and members of an Aboriginal community who are based on the island.
The Oscar-winning actor has long declared his passion for Jocelynd (which was named in honour of his mother, Jocelyn). His family - including his mother, father Alex and brother Terry - also live on the farm.
The actor has spoken openly of his love for his small herd of cows, and also keeps horses on the property. A couple of years before Crowe married Spencer in the purpose-built chapel on the farm, he took Hollywood star (and former flame) Meg Ryan to meet his family, and presumably the animals.
Friends say Crowe has had an extraordinary 12-month turnaround since hitting the headlines last year for abusing a BAFTA producer and brawling in a London restaurant.
Not only has he settled down with Spencer, he is determined to continue expanding his beloved farm.
Although Crowe paid $14 million for a penthouse at Woolloomooloo's Finger Wharf, it is believed he and Spencer have chosen Jocelynd as their family home after their first child, due in early January, is born.
