Industrial Engineering
Industrial engineers design, analyze and manage complex human-integrated systems such as manufacturing systems, supply-chain networks and services systems. These systems typically consist of a combination of people, information, material and equipment. Industrial engineers determine how to optimize the system for maximum efficiency, effectiveness, throughput, safety or some other objective of interest to the stakeholders of the system. To achieve these objectives, an industrial engineer draws upon knowledge of mathematics, the physical and engineering sciences and the management and behavioral sciences to function as a problem-solver, innovator, designer, coordinator and sytem integrator. Industrial engineers are employed in and apply their skills in an extremely wide range of organizations, including manufacturing industries, service industries and governmental agencies.
The complexity of these organizations and the emphasis on increased effectiveness, efficiency and productivity have led to a growing need for industrial engineering analysis and design and an increased demand for industrial engineering graduates. This increased demand recognizes the modern industrial engineer's versatility and responsiveness to the challenges of a rapidly changing society. Industrial engineering is already one of the nation's largest and most rapidly growing engineering professions.
The industrial engineering program prepares graduates for careers in all phases of industrial engineering and enables them to perform both technical and managerial functions that require scientific and engineering backgrounds. By combining the study of science, mathematics, engineering fundamentals, design and management principles, an industrial engineering education provides a unique background and a sound basis for lifelong career development in engineering practice, research or management.
The School of Industrial Engineering offers educational programs leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering (B.S.IE). The two undergraduate programs of study — the regular industrial engineering curriculum and the honors curriculum — provide students with a broad scientific and engineering base and contain a sequence of courses in mathematics, physics, chemistry and the engineering sciences. These courses are accompanied by courses in manufacturing processes, facilities design, engineering statistics, engineering cost analysis, work analysis and design, operations research, process control, production system design, computer utilization, information systems, systems analysis and industrial engineering design.
Students are encouraged to develop a coherent plan for their general and technical elective courses. These courses can be used to gain a specific skill-set, a familiarization with a particular application domain such as maufacturing, heathcare, information visualization or financial engineering, or to meet a student's special interest. The school provides guidance on how to develop such plan of study.
The undergraduate program in industrial engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org.

Open Source Human
Open Source Human
For all the talk of Open Sourcing, there remains a frontier that few among us are truly prepared to breach. Up to now the concept of Open Sourcing has been applied to the product, but not the producer, to the creation but not the creator. Now it's time to take Open Sourcing to the radical next step: the step towards realization of the Open Source Human.
It's always struck me as peculiar that some of those who campaign most vociferously for the freeing up of information are also those who fight to preserve antiquated notions of privacy.
To this I say, TRANSPARENCY IS THE NEW PRIVACY.
If information truly "wants to be free" why do we impose artificial walls around our personal data?
The simple answer is shame. Privacy is a construct of shame, which is itself a social-religious construct, and one to which we've clung too long. We hide our sexual predilections, our medical conditions and our "embarrassing" past. We all have them, and we all know that everyone else has them, so it's time to bust them out.
I have struggled with shame issues for much of my life, but it was only with the emergence of Social Networking sites that I recognized a pathway out of the darkness of privacy. For too long I have sought refuge in privacy, only to realize that I was running in exactly the wrong direction.
So in the coming months, I plan to roll out an unprecedentedly public display of my most personal data – health records, tax returns, elementary school report cards, etc - here on this blog. The process will take time, partly because of the simple logistics of gathering and organizing this material, but also because of potential legal issues. (I've already locked horns with my doctor and several ex-girlfriends over sensitive information).
As radical as this project seems, it's clear that the time is right. The ways people use social media demonstrate that our human inclination is to share ourselves in every way. Given the slightest degree of remove, such as that afforded by Facebook and Twitter, we instinctively open up, whether with racy photos of ourselves, or heartfelt declarations of love for strangers.
I expect to take a few on the chin for my efforts. Sometimes my personal information will implicate others. I know this might lead to some personal friction with friends, but I also know the value of the project will become so self-evident as to erase ill will.
A lawyer friend has already warned me to expect identity theft on a grand scale. To him I replied "you can't steal it if I've already given it away."
Secret information is valuable because it is secret. When it's available for free to all, it's pretty hard to sell. Just ask Metallica or Lily Allen.
I recognize the irony that, for the time being, I must remain anonymous. Again, this is owing to some legal questions that I am confident will be resolved in short order.
I haven't settled on what form the collection will take. In the spirit of Open Sourcing I am inclined to gather the data and artefacts in a fully indexed database. In this way, my very existence becomes a shared resource. A doctor, perusing my data might notice that a constellation of symptoms from medical checkups make me a perfect candidate for a drug trial. A marketer might notice that my tastes and inclinations make me ideal for a focus group. The possibilities are limitless.
Imagine what researchers could do with a worldwide database of information of this quality. Unimagined algorithms of human behaviour might suddenly be revealed when, say, we look at academic achievements of Led Zeppelin fans of blood type A are contrasted with type Os who fancy Nana Mouskouri.
Social Media is the true inspiration for this project and – I hope – the vessel that carries these ideas to a broader movement. I believe that the true promise of social media will be squandered if we don't seize the opportunity to demolish privacy and shame. A massive revelation of "private" data will benefit humanity as an infinite source of knowledge. It will also create a "fog of data" that will obscure our differences and bring into relief our commonality.
Please get the word out. Tweet this, Facebook it for all of us.
When I click POST and this blog entry appears, it no longer belongs to ME, it belongs to US.

Christie's caper
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, who I never cared for, has done what many elite groups have done — hand-picked fellow cronies, lawyers, investigators, to prove him 100 percent innocent of the George Washington Bridge-gate caper. Journalists are having a field day with this. CEOs, the very wealthy, doctors, usually have the luxury to fill courtrooms with their own investigator friends, fellow workers; forget victims — they take the back of the bus, they don't matter. Sure, it's usually who you are. Law enforcement gets to investigate their own, as does the military.
Usually, depending on who you are, you can get away with much. Example: aside from Christie, a military general accused of sexual harassment is facing no jail time. If it had been a poor soul in a big city that had no connections with big shots, they'd be going to jail (and jailers will throw away the key). You're just out of luck.
Let's talk about loyalty. The team that would do anything for Chris Christie (and they did) were fired and thrown under the bus by this wannabe 2016 presidential candidate. So much for loyalty.
When you're super ambitious and have many aspirations like he has, most people are secondary. If the tables were turned and Christie was Miss Kelly and Weinstein, and a few others, he would have done anything not to get fired. Fortunately, he's not in that position.
Like I said, big shots like Christie think about saving "number one" first — everybody else is just collateral damage. People who need people don't act like this. Do you really want this guy, Chris Christie, as your president? There must be better options.

That awful smell
An area movie theater uses a strong cleaning solution which is terrible; the acrid smell of their cleaning solution is sickening and we cannot tolerate it any longer. I can only imagine that people who have asthma or any breathing problem must suffer when they sit in that building for hours at a time. I reported this problem to the health department and maybe some action will be taken. The theater should be able to use one of the green, organic cleaning solutions on the market that would do the job but without the awful smell.

For the children?
Last year in Meriden, a drunk driver rear-ended another vehicle, resulting in the death of two children and serious injury to others. Mere weeks ago, a pregnant woman from South Carolina drove her van into the ocean, attempting to kill herself and her three children. Last week, a Florida man caused a car to drive into a daycare, ending the life of one child, and injuring 14 others.
Over the last year, we have heard members of our legislature cry out that they will do anything, "for the children," "in memory of the children" and "for the sake of the children." And yet, in the wake of the above tragic situations, all we hear from Hartford is the chirping of crickets.
I do not hear any of them proposing to ban automobiles that have four wheels (allowing you to keep your "four-wheeled death machine" in your garage but, out in public, it is only three wheels or less). I do not hear any of them proposing to forbid the buying of gasoline without a license (after all, no gas for your death machine, there will be less car accidents). Further, I do not hear any of them proposing to ban windshields for autos (after all, what do you need one of those for, it merely allows you to go faster and you can just wear sunglasses if the wind hurts your eyes).
Ridiculous, you say? No more ridiculous that the recent gun control laws proposed and passed by Len Fasano and John McKinney, who conspired in the darkened hallways of our state Capitol to take out their aggressions on inanimate objects owned by law-abiding citizens.
But then again, it is "just for the children" isn't it? Or, perhaps just legislative hypocrisy and anti-gun intentions, capitalizing on their hand-picked senseless tragedy.

The property industry is focusing more on incorporating sustainable initiatives into its designs, especially as issues such as carbon emissions have an increasing impact on planning decisions. Green precincts are an emerging dynamic and one newly-completed green precinct in Sydney is Darling Quarter on the site of the old Sega World centre.
Green precincts allow for shared recycling, electricity generation, and water processing, which lead to economies of scale. The federal government set up a Green Precincts Fund in its 2008-09 budget designed to encourage communities to better manage their water and energy use.
Darling Quarter is a $500 million mixed use development and a collaboration between Lend Lease and the Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority. When the project opened in September this year, its anchor client, the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, had already moved in. The bank's premises have a six-star Green Star-Office Design v2 certified rating from the Green Building Council of Australia. This makes it the largest such certified rated building in Sydney.
The managing director of Lend Lease's development business in Australia, David Rolls, says a water recycling licence was awarded to the precinct and an expected 148 million bottles of drinking water will be saved each year. "This will reduce its water use by 90 per cent compared with a standard commercial building," he says. "The precinct features a recycled water plant and stormwater harvesting tank that will be used to improve water use efficiency."
The precinct draws wastewater from the nearby Sydney Water sewer main and Darling Quarter buildings. About 245 kilolitres of sewage is expected to be treated per day, producing around 166 kilolitres of treated water per day.
"The recycled water is distributed through a non-drinking water reticulation network and used within Darling Quarter for non-drinking purposes, such as toilet flushing, irrigation of plant beds, and cooling tower make-up water," Rolls says.
Some of Darling Quarter's other sustainable design principles include carbon emission reduction through energy-efficient design, trigeneration technology, energy reduction via chilled beam and fresh air systems, and a high-performance facade to minimise heat entering the building and to maximise natural light.
Darling Quarter also features a low-rise campus-style commercial development and a leisure precinct with retail and dining options, a new public park and car park. Rolls says it reconnects the south end of Darling Harbour to the city.
"The issue we found is that the whole part of Darling Harbour turned its back on the city and we wanted to make it interact with the CBD," Rolls says. "We did this through what we call the civic connector, which is a pedestrian link that connects Darling Harbour to Town Hall station, Chinatown and the Darling Harbour waterfront."
The area where CBA is located [Commonwealth Bank Place] comprises two eight-storey commercial office buildings with about 55,000 square metres of office space and 200 underground car spaces. Rod McCoy, executive project manager of Lend Lease's project management and construction business in Australia says the two buildings were designed in a campus-style as a way of ensuring the precinct was returned as a public space and to encourage pedestrian flow.
"One of the issues was that the old Sega World didn't get any people there," he says. "It was a dead part of the city."
One of the highlights of the precinct and one in which Lend Lease is particularly proud of is the playground. At 4000 square metres it is the largest in Sydney and according to McCoy is a good example of social sustainability. "We didn't just want people in suits to come to the area," he says.
The playground features a flying fox, a large rope climbing structure, water pumps, and water wheels. McCoy says designing it was a major challenge.
"The concept of a playground is relatively intangible," he says. "Our comfort zone is buildings so it was difficult to put yourself into the mind of three-year-old – if you get that wrong there are harsh critics."
Green precincts are the way of the future, according to Rolls. "You can only go so far when dealing with green buildings individually," he says.
"There is more to gain sustainably from dealing with precincts; you can balance all the different needs and design systems that work 24 hours rather than just during peak times."

Grands Crus remains an uncertain runner at Cheltenham
Grands Crus remains an uncertain runner at Cheltenham with David Pipe admitting he is "just taking things day by day".
Last Updated: 19/02/13 3:29pm
Two years ago Grands Crus looked a mighty prospect when finishing just under two lengths away from Big Buck's in the Ladbrokes World Hurdle but there have been more than a fair share of let-downs ever since.
While he made a bright start over fences last season, he was a well-beaten fourth behind Bobs Worth in the RSA and there have been two further setbacks at Cheltenham this season when he was pulled up in both the Paddy Power Gold Cup and the Argento Chase.
"I don't know if he runs," said Pipe as he showed the eight-year-old off at his stables in a foggy Nicholashayne, Somerset, on Tuesday.
"He has the two entries at Cheltenham, the World Hurdle and the Ryanair Chase. He is on treatment for ulcers, but he cantered this morning and is just having an easy time.
"It has been a frustrating season. He was disappointing in the Paddy Power, then we cauterised his palate and he ran a cracking race in the King George.
"He had a hard race that day, and perhaps (in the Argento) it was a combination of factors, the ground, the ulcers, and our blood man thought he might be in the early stages of coming down with something. All I can tell you is he's the same horse on the gallops."
Looking at the next three weeks before the meeting starts, Pipe said: "He will probably go for a racecourse gallop somewhere and that will be what makes our decision.
"He might not run again this season, he might go to Cheltenham, he might go to Aintree, he might go to Punchestown. We're doing everything we can to get him back on track."

All told, 18 non-profit groups — ranging from paralyzed veterans to an arts council — seek nearly $500,000 from Oro Valley in fiscal 2010, which begins July 1.
The town, which faces a projected $5.2-million shortfall in the coming year, has precious few dollars to spread around, according to officials.
Still, "there is a need to fund these organizations," Town Manager David Andrews said Monday.
Several representatives from the non-profits seeking town support attended a study session this week as the council began discussing its fiscal 2010 budget plans.
After an hour's discussion of the group's fiscal 2010 requests, which total $487,154, the council agreed to refer the proposals to a subcommittee for further review.
In the coming weeks, council members Bill Garner and Salette Latas will meet to hear each group's proposal. The pair will then forward spending recommendations to the council.
Andrews recommends giving $403,504 — or about 17 percent less than requested — to the various community groups.
The town manager wants to reduce the $160,000 request from the Metropolitan Tucson Convention and Visitors Bureau to $120,000.
Andrews also wants to hold fiscal 2010 funding for the economic development group Tucson Regional Economic Opportunities Inc., to $50,000 — $10,000 less than the group has requested.
One other large recipient of town funding, the Greater Oro Valley Arts Council, seeks about 20 percent less in fiscal 2010. The arts group wants about $99,000 in town funding, down from the $120,000 it received this fiscal year.
"GOVAC in many ways made it easy," Andrews said, noting its reduced request.
Andrews deemed most of the requests for funding "nominal," when compared to the town's overall proposed $120-million spending plan.
Councilman Al Kunisch expressed concern about agreeing to fund any of the groups given the town's projected financial troubles.
"How many jobs is that? It's about eight jobs," Kunisch said.
The town manager has proposed laying off more than 30 employees in fiscal 2010.
"I think we should defer (this) and see what we have left to spend," Kunisch suggested.
Garner wondered why the town manager didn't trim the requests from all groups. Eighteen seek town money, though Andrews recommends funding 14 of the groups.
"Why not chop a little bit off the top for all them?" Garner asked. "Why pick and choose?"
Andrews said that the council could alter the amounts, but that when making his spending recommendations, he "really tried to maintain a little of the status quo."
Several of the groups that seek town money had not applied for it before, Andrews explained.
When compiling his proposed fiscal 2010 spending plan, Andrews decided not allot money for community groups the town had not previously funded.

U.S. Primary Care Physicians: International Survey Shows They Lag Behind On Several Key Fronts
Bethesda, MD - In many countries, primary care clinicians serve as the foundation for health care and the "gatekeepers" for more specialized referrals. A new international survey of primary care physicians in eleven countries finds that American doctors are significantly behind many of their counterparts elsewhere in providing access to high-quality care and use of health information technology, according to a study published today in Health Affairs.
• A Survey Of Primary Care Physicians In Eleven Countries, 2009: Perspectives On Care, Costs, And Experiences
By Cathy Schoen, Robin Osborn, Michelle M. Doty, David Squires, Jordon Peugh, and Sandra Applebaum
Author affiliations (all organizations based in New York):
Schoen, Osborn, Doty and Squires: Commonwealth Fund
Peugh: Knowledge Networks
Applebaum: Harris Interactive
The data, collected from February to July 2009 by Harris Interactive Inc. and subcontractors in each country, were obtained through a combination of mail, online, and telephone surveys. (The method varied by country.) More than 10,000 primary care physicians in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United States responded to a common questionnaire. Some of the key findings include the following:
• The vast majority (69 percent) of U.S. respondents report that their practices have no provisions for after-hours care, leaving their patients no choice but the emergency room. The U.S. was behind every other country surveyed on this finding.
• Fifty-eight percent of U.S. primary care physicians say their patients often have trouble paying for their medications and care, compared to 5- 37 percent in the other ten countries.
• While 99 percent of doctors in the Netherlands and 97 percent of doctors in New Zealand and Norway used electronic medical records (EMRs), only 46 percent of U.S. doctors reported EMR use.
• Nearly half of U.S. physicians (48 percent) said that time spent getting patients' medications and treatments because of their insurance coverage restrictions was problematic. The U.S. scored higher (that is, worse) than any other country on this question.
• While the use of care teams was reported by more than 90 percent of participants in several countries, it was less frequent in the U.S. (59 percent) and even lower in Canada and France.
• One-third of U.S. physicians reported receiving any financial incentives for the quality improvement measures tracked in the survey. By contrast, 89 percent of doctors in the U.K. and sizable majorities of their counterparts in the Netherlands, New Zealand, Italy, and Australia report financial incentives of some kind to implement quality initiatives.
The authors conclude: "As the United States looks to develop new primary care models that could work well for patients and physicians, policymakers can learn a great deal from diverse initiatives under way in other countries." This study was supported by The Commonwealth Fund.

LeBron James of the Miami Heat's one-handed, alley-oop dunk against the Chicago Bulls last night is being debated on ESPN as one of the best, if not the best, dunk ever.
Watch as King James comes swooping in from the right corner, catches the alley-oop pass from running mate Dwyane Wade with his right hand in mid-air, then slams it down over the Bulls' posterized John Lucas.
Of course, LeBron's in-your-face disgrace faces stiff competition in the All-Time category. There was Michael Jordan's ferocious dunk over Patrick Ewing, John Starks dunking over the Bulls in the same playoff series, Vince Carter's giant-killing dunk at the Olympics, Julius Erving flying in from the foul line and many others.
What do you think? Does this belong at the top of the all-time dunks list? Or has LeBron himself thrown down better, including some during the Heat's 97-93 win over the Bulls in Miami last night?

Well, if the Orioles needed an omen for their season, they might have received it Tuesday night.
Their game with the Toronto Blue Jays was delayed shortly due to rain - at the ostensibly climate-controlled stadium once known as Skydome.
The game started with the roof closed, but it was opened when it appeared the weather would be pleasant. But when the rains came again, and the Rogers Centre staff tried to close the roof, it stuck.
So out came umbrellas from fans - and who brings umbrellas to an indoor game? Perhaps they saw it coming.
As for the Orioles? Well, they already led the game 4-0 at the time of the delay, and it was past the fifth inning.
So they were on their way to a win rain or shine.

There is so much fake stuff on the Internet in any given week that we've grown of tired of debunking it all. Fake Twitter fights. Fake DHL ads. Amazing viral video? Nope — a Jimmy Kimmel stunt!
So, rather than take down each and every undeservedly viral story that crosses our monitors each week, we're rounding them all up in a quick, once-a-week Friday debunk of fake photos, misleading headlines and bad studies that you probably shouldn't share over the weekend.
Ready? Here's what was fake on the Internet this week:
1. Terry Richardson did not solicit a young model for sex. (Not this young model, anyway.) An alleged message sent by the photographer to model Emma Appleton, which promised a Vogue gig in exchange for sex, quickly went viral Monday — owing, in part, to Richardson's reputation for appalling behavior. Richardson's reps insisted the message was fake, and a Wednesday report in the New York Post would appear to back that up. Social media expert Theo Yedinsky told the Post the message was sent from an unverified Facebook account registered from "some random Gmail account" two weeks ago.
2. Gabriel Garcia Marquez did not write a farewell poem to friends. Several blogs, Twitter-users and at least one politician have resurfaced this old hoax in light of Garcia Marquez's death late last week. Incidentally, this faux-farewell letter has a long history: It was initially printed in the Peruvian paper La Republica in 2000. How Garcia Marquez's name became attached to the poem is unclear, since it was actually written by the Mexican ventriloquist Johnny Welch … for his puppet sidekick. Welch's authorship has not, however, stopped people from attributing the poem to Garcia Marquez since his death.
#LifeLesson….I wouldn't, possibly, say everything that is in my mind, but I would be more thoughtful of all I say. #GabrielGarciaMarquez— Karnika (@_karnika) April 18, 2014
3. Colton Burpo is not on Twitter. @TheColtonBurpo is pretty convincing: The account tweets regularly about #HeavenisForReal, links to the book's Web site, and features a popular portrait of the lil man himself. But there are plenty of signs the account is fake (… besides its glaring lack of Twitter verification.) For one thing, no accounts associated with the Burpo family or the film follow it. For another, it makes a number of slyly subversive remarks that would seem to criticize the Christian film and its motives, including several allusions to Harry Potter ("the boy who lived") and this 100-percent fictional tweet:
Before you judge me and my family, please realize that 100% of ticket sales from #HeavenIsForRealMovie are going to charity.— Colton Burpo (@TheColtonBurpo) April 22, 2014
4. This is not the leaked Mrs. Doubtfire 2 script … because the Mrs. Doubtfire 2 script does not yet exist! As Post pop culture blogger Emily Yahr reported last week, "Fox 2000 is actively developing a sequel to "Mrs. Doubtfire" … [and] a script is also in the works. (Translation: There's still a long way to go to see if this thing actually happens.)" Break's "leaked" script seems like an obvious — if unfunny, and unmarked — attempt at satire. Regrettably, commenters didn't interpret it that way.
5. You probably don't have herpes. Vox did us all a service with this herpes explainer, which sheds some much-needed light on a common sexually transmitted disease that many people don't understand. Its dramatic headline — "Bad news: you probably have herpes and don't know it" — also prompted a flurry of panicked tweets Wednesday morning. As Nate Hopper helpfully debunked at Esquire, however, Vox is conflating the very common oral herpes (i.e., cold sores) with the much scarier, much rarer genital herpes (i.e., the STD). So yes, seven in 10 people will have one of the two strains — but you probably don't have genital herpes. Call off the alarms.
6. Garcinia Cambogia is still not good for you. By now we should probably all be familiar with the sketchy weight-loss supplement, beloved by spammers, Twitter hackers and tacky web ads. But Yahoo Tech reports that a rash of new Twitter accounts were compromised Wednesday, leading to more spammy garcinia tweets than usual. As always, don't click! Not only is the supplement more or less useless, but links could contain malware.
Did we miss any other notable fake stuff this week? E-mail firstname.lastname@example.com — or stay tuned until next week, because surely some more shenanigans will go down in the meantime.

How to find a job that makes you happy
05/08/09 by Felicitas Heyne | Filed in: Career | Personal Development
On iPersonic we do offer you important resources for your dream job search with our career test and our iPersonic Career Profile. An article I recently came across demonstrates the desperate need for this. Its content with the heading "Every third person dislikes his/her job" shocked me. The results of a representative survey conducted on behalf of the German Labor Union gives food for thought:
Of the 6168 questioned on average only 12% described their work as "good", 54% as "mediocre" and for 34% it was just "bad".
The numbers fluctuated somewhat depending on the professional branch; when asked the unskilled laborers – who is surprised – were especially dissatisfied. Not one of them liked his/her work and 61% responded to the question with "bad". Temporary workers turned out to be above average unhappy, as well. One the other hand, engineers and members of professions involving natural sciences were satisfied with their work 23% above average while 21% were the most seldom dissatisfied. According to the study they have a "high measure of influence- and development opportunities, meaningful work, a minimum of physical and emotional stress, a commensurate income combined with a high degree of professional security and supportive, development- and learn conducive work organizations- and environments."
Beyond all statistics the bottom line remains that in Germany every morning more than one third of all employed head for work anything but happy or motivated. If one adds the "mediocre" responses, the bottom line is that almost 90% are not happy with their work and probably would respond with "no" to the question "do you love your job?" Based on a 5-day week and six weeks vacation we end up with 231 days per year that these people spend eighth (or more) hours doing something they don't really like at best and something they truly dislike, at worst. Isn't that an awful thought?
Yes, I am familiar with all the arguments that one hears, comes up with and internalizes during one's life: "I know what I would like to do but I can't make any money that way," - "I would have loved to become this or that but never got the chance," or, "I would love to do something totally different, but if I quit my job how do I pay the rent?" And the worst: "I don't really like my job but have no idea what else I could do." That sounds as if one has lost any feeling for what one would really enjoy and feel comfortable doing. Do you also feel that way? If so, I have a neat exercise for you today that I found in a great book (you'll find the link for the book below): "The Job from Heaven" or, "The Job from Hell." It is very simple. Take paper and pencil and let your imagination run free. There are no limitations – for the next few minutes I can perform magic and you can ask me for the most wonderful imaginable job. There is one condition: It must involve a real job with specific tasks, a schedule and compensation. Consequently the following questions must have been answered when you are done:
Done? Was it easy or tough? Especially if your response to this question was "tough", you'll probably have more fun and be done quickly with the second part of this exercise. Now I am going to change from the good genie into the devil himself and instead of the job from Heaven I'll send you a job that'll be Hell on Earth for you! It is going to be as awful, unsatisfactory and unsuitable for you as possible. I would also like to have your order for this – no worries, it won't be filled but it is important, nevertheless. Now, please repeat the entire game by responding to the above questions except this time with the premise: Which job would you hate like the plague?
- What exactly do you do? (Be specific, please!)
- Where do you do it? (place, premises, outside, separate rooms, in your home country, in a foreign country. etc.?)
- From when to when do you do it? (daily, from – to, only in the summer, only in the winter?)
- With whom do you work together? (who are your colleagues, will you require assistants, is there a boss, who are the potential customers?)
- What is your pay?
Done? Fantastic! If you had a problem with the first part of this exercise, you now have the perfect negative version of your future dream job. All you have to do now is find the opposite of everything you just came up with and the description of what you would truly love to do is right there in front of you. If you sat lonely and isolated in your office filing dusty records in your job from Hell, your dream job probably includes nice colleagues - and maybe you would rather deal with people than with records? Or with animals – and all of it outside in the fresh air rather than inside an office? Or … or … With this negative model it'll be easier for you to identify what you are looking for in your dream job. If against all expectations you had no problem describing it during the first part of the exercise, the negative model may provide you with this or the other important detail that you may have forgotten during the first attempt but that may be important for your complete (job) happiness. Go ahead; invest a little time to tweak the final scenario. It should truly be perfect. Our career test and your iPersonic Career Profile can be quite helpful in this task.
If you are totally satisfied with the results, in case you are ready go along with it there is a follow-up assignment that is liable to generate a few very interesting insights for you. Here it comes: During the next two weeks for one hour on one day of your choice act as if you had decided to have your perfect dream job become reality! You are permitted to set your alarm clock and quit when it rings (you can obviously also keep going but you don't have to). During this one-hour you pull out all the stops and do everything to get this dream job. Collect information, get a list of addresses and help lines, call contacts – whatever it takes. You are dreaming of a specific additional education? Visit the Internet and find out where and under what conditions you can get it, request the registration forms. You would like to work abroad? Great. Call the language school and register for a crash course in that language, investigate potential employers, etc. You would really prefer to go out on your own? OK, this begins with a call on the subject "livelihood establishment support" to the appropriate authority and a request for the appropriate documentation. Afterwards, please sit down and develop a business plan – which sales can you expect within which period of time, the expenses involved, who are going to be your customers, what about the competition, how are you going to bridge the time when your income does not meet your needs …
Understand? Here the issue is not to drop everything and dive into something new. You are just supposed to spend a limited amount of time (just a silly hour) to seriously act "as if" and to see how it feels when you do it. In this way you garner valuable information about yourself and what you want to do. Are you going to be frightened of your own audacity? Are you becoming euphoric? Is it difficult or easy for you to tackle your own dream? Why? When the alarm clock tings you can just stop … or continue … or even change the scenario according to what you've just learned…
The book containing this exercise was written by Barbara Sheer and has the captivating title: I Could Do Anything If I Only Knew What It Was. The exercise above with the question which job would make you truly happy and which obstacles (inwardly or outwardly) keep you from doing just that is only the entry of a long journey into yourself. I like this book very much and frequently use many of its numerous exercises during my work with clients – I am going to introduce some of them as we go along. I am also one of the people who took a number of detours on the subject profession and finally arrived in the exact place where I can say that I love my profession and would not want to trade it for any other job in the world. To express it with a quote from the book: "It is a good life if one can get up in the morning and hardly wait to get going." Every morning. Not just Saturday/Sunday and on vacation. I believe that life is simply too short to find happiness only during free time. Maybe that is why I wished that there are not only 12% out there who experience something like that in their lives, as well….

Let us not forget, with the passing of Vans co-founder James Van Doren, that it was always about more than just Spicoli and the checks. There was the Era, the Sk8-Hi, and certainly the Authentic — in off-white, still some of the best, most classic canvas summer shoes there ever were. So here's to the man who gave the hopeless skater in all of us our first measure of hope. God bless.

This review is from: Seagate Central STCG4000100 4TB Cloud Storage System
Pros: When it works it is an elegant network solution.
Cons: I've had nothing but trouble with my Seagate drive. The first one failed. Seagate replaced it and I am now having problem with the replacement drive. I'd advise going with a more reliable product.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: EVGA 122-CK-NF66-T1 LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 650i Ultra ATX Intel Motherboard
Pros: Would be inexpensive if it worked properly
Cons: I first purchased this board about two months ago and immediately had issues with it - windows wouldn't detect the network connection and 2 of the RAM slots wouldn't work. I tried to troubleshoot the problem with EVGA who seemed unfamiliar with the product. A few days later, the board died completely, so I replaced it with newegg. The replacement board is having the same defect. So I emailed Mr. Parra at EVGA who offered to replace the board at EVGA's expense with the 680i. This was approximately 3 weeks ago. Despite repeated emails and even phone calls, EVGA has not yet honored their offer.
Other Thoughts: I purchased this board because I heard good things about EVGA's products and customer service. Unfortunately my experience with EVGA was that they do not live up to their reputation. It is very unlikely that I will ever buy another EVGA product again, and do not recommend this company.READ FULL REVIEW

The Chicago Bears have officially placed running back Michael Bush (ribs) on injured reserve. Bush was first injured in Week 13 against the Seattle Seahawks. He came back in Week 14 for one carry, yet the ribs didn't not respond and he was held out for the remainder of the contest.
Last week, in a crucial home game against the Green Bay Packers, the Bears chose to put Bush on the active roster, despite the fact he clearly wasn't healthy enough to play. All this while QB Josh McCown was a healthy scratch.
The Bears sorely missed Bush, a great short-yardage runner, against Green Bay, failing twice to punch the ball in from the 1-yard line.
Bush appeared in 13 games with one start for Chicago in 2012, rushing for 411 yards and five touchdowns on 114 carries (3.6 ypc) adding nine catches for 83 receiving yards (9.2 ypr).
To take his spot on the 53-man roster, the Bears signed RB Kahlil Bell. Bell -- who was waived by Chicago earlier in the season after refusing to take a pay cut, and then re-signed a month ago, before being waived again -- was recently cut by the New York Jets.
Bell has appeared in 25 games with three starts over four seasons with Chicago (2009-12) and the New York (2012) totaling 589 rushing yards on 131 carries (4.5 ypc) and 150 receiving yards and one touchdown on 22 receptions (6.8 ypr).
The Bears made roster moves yesterday as well, placing DT Matt Toeaina (chest) on injured reserve and elevating T Cory Brandon from the practice squad.
Brandon has spent the last nine weeks of the season on the Bears practice squad. The 6-7, 324-pound offensive lineman entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent with Tampa Bay out of Oklahoma in 2011. He signed with Chicago this past June and was with the team during the 2012 preseason.
Toeaina has appeared in three games for the Bears this season with two starts. In six seasons with Chicago, Toeaina has started 24 of 36 games played, recording 66 tackles, two sacks and one fumble recovery.

Among these people the clan, or perhaps I should say the kinsfolk, forms the unit.
Do you yield to them of your own free will, or do the people hate you, or have you a quarrel with your kinsfolk?
Ulwin, with gashed forehead and scratched neck, was shepherding his kinsfolk in the direction of his abode.
In Marshall's opinion the breech between these kinsfolk ought not to be healed.
He calls a servant and bids him go to Mesopotamia, his old home, and bring a wife for Isaac from his own kinsfolk.
They closed the door upon their kinsfolk and faced the situation.
The new queen's kinsfolk quickly acquired an almost unbounded ascendency over her weak husband.
He will make us the kinsfolk of all things bright and beautiful.
She held her head very high, knowing what her kinsfolk thought: that gran'ther had disgraced them.
She told her story, but her kinsfolk were too poor to help her.

Form C
I guess I know about
as many people in Oregon as anybody:
I've lived here long enough, heaven
knows. We used to have some good times
back in those days of the horse and
buggy, as they call 'em now. That
reminds me, I guess I engineered the
first automobile race in the
Northwest. It was up in Dayton,
Washington -- and that section was of
the Old Oregon country, so I'll tell
about it. There was to be a Fourth of
July celebration, and it struck me a
race between those new-fangled
machines would attract a lot of
attention. It did too. We had it on
the town race-track, a half-mile
track, and the automobiles were of the
Olds manufacture, one of the first
models, high and ornate, with brass
trimmings. I don't remember anything
about the cylinders. Maybe there
weren't any. Anyway my wife and I got
in one with the owner, who was to
drive, and the owner of the other
machine filled his up and off we went,
while the excited spectators -- and
they came from all over the country --
yelled, "Whip her up!... "Shove her
along!"... "Take the whip to her!"...
and anything they could think of to
make us go faster. Such a thing as
"Step on it!" or any other motor
phraseology was then unknown. We
responded as best we could, going
faster and faster at what seemed a
terrific rate, until we completed the
second lap. The passengers were scared
half to death. It developed when we
finished, almost as a tie, that we had
achieved the unbelievable speed of 18
miles an hour! (if I remember, those
machines cost $1500.00). When, a few
years later, Barney Olds drove his
"Red Devil" Cadillac on the old
Irvington race track here in Portland
, the spectators gasped and shivered
at his sixty miles an hour, which is
no great shucks today. For that race
of ours at Dayton, the women were all
dolled up in yards and yards of veils.
I think they had on long dusters too.
Form D
Extra Comment :
Mr. Woodworth, whose knowledge of Oregon and Oregonians may be considered reliable and authentic, is full to the brim with pioneer stories of practically every nature. Since he does some writing on his own account, some of his information he doesn't care to impart. In this connection it might be well to retain the story of Ross Island for the archives only, as it is Mr. Woodworth's plan to send it for publication at an early date. He was enthusiastic over giving the information herein written, and promised to send the worker documentary material.

Some consumers imagine that buying a BlackBerry without a keypad would be like agreeing to eat a Hershey's (NYSE:HSY) Reese's Peanut Cup sans the peanut butter: pointless.
That may be why the recently released "keyboardless" prototype of Research In Motion's (NASDAQ:RIMM) BlackBerry 10 hasn't garnered as much excitement as RIM execs had hope. However, Thorsten Heins, RIM's CEO, who said a lot during BlackBerry's recent BlackBerry World annual conference, wants consumers to remember that a prototype is not necessarily an exact replica of the final product.
In short, the company isn't completely ditching the physical keyboard, according to Forbes.
"Building an operating system from the bottom up is not an easy task, it takes years, you do not do this in a ten-month development time frame," Forbes quotes Heins saying at a press session during the conference. "I want the BlackBerry 10 experience to be perfect, there is much more to come than what you saw yesterday."
BlackBerry, the granddaddy of smartphones, has taken a beating from competitors such as Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) iPhone, Google's (NASDAQ:GOOG) Android and Samsung's Galaxy.
Heins, who has held the reins at RIM since January, reiterated the company's intent to take back market share in the U.S.
"I actually expect us to regain market share in the U.S.," Heins told The Verge. "We're here to win, very very clearly. I'm not here to be just in the game."
RIMM shares slid around 6% lower, to $12, during Thursday afternoon trading.

Declaration of Rights
The first North Carolina Declaration of Rights, modeled in part on comparable declarations in Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania, was adopted on behalf of the state by the Fifth Provincial Congress on 17 Dec. 1776. The declaration was adopted one day prior to the adoption of the new state's constitution and was specifically incorporated into that document to emphasize the strong commitment of North Carolinians to individual freedoms. The Declaration of Rights proclaimed popular sovereignty and separation of powers as well as basic civil rights, such as freedom of religion and guarantees of a fair trial, many of which were later restated in the federal Bill of Rights. The original Declaration of Rights, largely unchanged-plus a few provisions made necessary by defeat in the Civil War, such as the abolition of slavery and the prohibition of secession-became Article I of the 1868 North Carolina Constitution. With only minor changes, the Declaration of Rights remains the primary article of the state's 1971 constitution.

Get Your Dog Care Questions Answered by Experts
Is your dog urinating more often or is it larger amounts when going?
any changes in eating/drinking habits?
Thanks for replying.
This is often due to a urinary tract infection. The bacteria causes inflammation in the bladder, which triggers a signal to the brain that the dog needs to urinate with a full bladder, even though technically the bladder has not had enough time to fill up.
A urinary tract infection can often easily be treated with a round of antibiotics, but it is not something to put off treating for too long, as it is very uncomfortable for the dog and can eventually lead to either kidney infections or chronic cystitis.
Your vet will want to check a fresh urine sample to determine which type of bacteria is causing this and if crystals or casts are present, then choose the proper antibiotic for curing. Until then, encourage plenty of fresh water intake to help cut back on irritation.
Best of luck, and let me know if I can help further.

All things fabulous
A few weeks ago a cousin passed down a piece of furniture for my daughter to enjoy as she grows up. It's a little old ice cream parlor style table and chairs. When I got it, let's just say it took a while to come up with some inspiration. My cousin that had been using it has long outgrown it. It had been sitting in a garage collecting dust and rust. This table's grandchildren are practically antiques…let's just put it that way.
So it sat, and it sat, while I tried to think of the best way to modernize it. My sister is obsessed with chalkboard paint, so the first thing we decided was that the metal tabletop, would obviously be painted as a chalkboard. This will also provide endless hours of entertainment for Lilly. Now all I had to decide was what color to do the base and the chairs. Some people thought I should do each chair a different color, some thought I should do ice cream parlor baby pink. Ultimately I decided on a blue-green and we went at it! Here are my before, middle, and after pictures:
How to: First I sand papered everything. This was by far my most hated part of the whole process. Then once everything was sanded, we painted each piece separately with several coats of spray paint in our color of choice. We had detached the table top from the base, and put about 3 coats of chalkboard paint on that. Once everything was dry, we used a clear glossy sealer and sprayed that onto the chairs and base to give them a nice finish. Attach the table top once that's dry, and voila! It was seriously too easy.
that is so cute. i tried to comment a minute ago and thnk the program ate it. was trying to say how jealous i was, i have no artistic bone in my body..ask misty!! love the table and chairs, how great!!!
how cute is that. i am so jealous, i have no artistic bone in my body, but that looks so good. nice job!!

You exercise your body to stay physically in shape, so why shouldn't you exercise your brain to stay mentally fit? With these daily exercises you will learn how to flex your mind, improve your creativity and boost your memory. As with any exercise, repetition is necessary for you to see improvement, so pick your favorite exercises from our daily suggestions and repeat them as desired. Try to do some mentalrobics every single day!
Close your eyes and try to recreate the following smells. This exercise helps improve your ability to form concrete impressions from memory.
1. A rotten egg
2. Pumpkin pie
3. Wet dog
4. Freshly cut grass
5. A new car
How well did you do at recreating the smells?
For more of these exercises try Mental Smells I.
Earlier, we talked about how thinking about alternate solutions to a problem can help find creative solutions. Here's an exercise to help you practice this technique.
Imagine that you are a detective. Try to come with at least 10 different possible causes of the following situations:
1. You return to your car to see the windshield broken and an apple sitting on the seat.
2. You pass a man on the street that is wearing two different shoes.
3. A perfectly healthy tree has fallen over.
4. A pile of precariously stacked stones is discovered in the park.
According to Freud, the mind is made up of the id, the ego, and the superego. The id is concerned with satisfying our needs, the ego is aware of the self and the world, and the superego is concerned with morality.
Creative ideas originate in the unconscious id and must be filtered through the ego and superego before they can be expressed to the world. The ego may reject an idea because it is unrealistic or impractical and the superego may reject an idea because it is against our ethics.
For example, an idea to genetically engineer a purple cat might be rejected by the ego for being impossible. The idea to throw a cat into a vat of purple paint would be rejected by the superego for being cruel.
Very few creative ideas will get past an overly restrictive ego and superego. At the same time, an excessively passive ego or superego will result in the expression of many impractical or immoral ideas. Through exercises such as brainstorming, we can train our ego and superego to be more or less selective depending upon our needs.
"Groupthink" is a term used to describe a process whereby a group can make bad decisions even though each individual in the group may realize that the result is going to be bad.
People have a strong need to feel accepted in a group. Whenever an individual participates in a group, it causes the other participants to react in some way. People want to be liked, so they tend to participate in a way that gains them acceptance. One way to gain acceptance is to be very agreeable and not rock the boat. When a bad or bland idea is introduced, very few people may challenge it. If nobody proposes a better idea, groupthink can result.
Proposing a creative idea that differs from the group exposes the person and puts them in a vulnerable position. Nobody wants to fail in front of their peers or superiors. As a result, wild ideas are frequently self-censored or toned down to a level that is easily assimilated by the group. Unless there is a process that encourages wild ideas, they will seldom be introduced and groupthink can result.
Groupthink can also occur if an idea comes from higher up in the corporate ladder. Nobody wants to disagree with their boss, even if they know that the boss's idea will fail.
Brainstorming is a process that encourages wild ideas. This is one way to avoid groupthink.
These number exercises will help improve your concentration and mental endurance.
1. Recite all the numbers between 1 and 100 that contain the digit 7. (7, 17, 27...)
2. Count down from 200 by 4s. (200, 196, 192...)
3. Recite the numbers counting up by 4s and by 5s (4-5, 8-10, 12-15...)
4. Start with 2 and start doubling it in your head. See how far you can get. (2, 4, 8, 16, 32...)
Feel free to modify these exercises and practice them to increase your ability.
