IT is impossible to watch an artist like Sinead O'Connor for the first time without pre-conceptions getting a little bit in the way.
Between publicly ripping up a picture of the Pope on live television to being ordained as a priest, the Irish singer-songwriter has flirted with her fair share of controversy since shooting to international acclaim in 1990.
And after gathering tabloid inches mere days ago sporting some bizarre new facial ink, I wondered what sort of reaction the volatile O'Connor would receive from a rained-on Ramsbottom audience.
Luckily, it may have been a Sunday night but the good-natured main stage crowd wasn't thinking about work the next day – or the fact the temperature was hovering at an autumnal six degrees.
Good job 46-year-old O'Connor was wrapped up warm – that trademark shaved head and striking eyes half-hidden beneath a tasseled woolly hat.
But when she opened her mouth and released the effortlessly powerful, broody vocals which brought her fame it was far easier to forget the rain trickling down the back of my own neck.
Mainly performing lushly-backed tracks from her ninth album - 2012's How About I Be Me (And You Be You)? - O'Connor's performance was vulnerable, soulful and surprisingly warm.
Her somewhat clipped stage presence aside, this was far more than a past-it popstar going through the motions.
As if to underline this, O'Connor played the hit which catapulted her to world stardom relatively early in her set.
Nothing Compares 2 U receiving a surprisingly chilly reception – there was none of the eruptions of mass swaying and spontaneous audience singalongs I'd imagined.
But with storm clouds overhead, the tempestuous personal life and lurid headlines which have come to overshadow O'Connor's talent melted away.

I have waxed poetic multiple times on here on how good Pithari Taverna is and am sad to be posting this, but I have been more than disappointed after the last few visits.
I find that the food is tending to become overly oily and the service has completely fallen to crap. I am a regular there and the management knows me as does the wait staff and after being there two consecutive weeks and having food completely screwed up and late, was offered nothing but BS and excuses.
It really is sad to post this but it is heading downhill fast. I used to love this place but at this point there are too many other BYOBs in the area and decent grub opportunities to continue giving them so much support.
I will perhaps give it a try several months down the line but I am on hiatus now.

Forest House Design in Bainbridge Island
sponsored links
For those who imagined a calm and peaceful house, around the house is a shady tree or even a forest. So the concept of home in Bainbridge Island is perfect. This house was designed specifically to bring the natural ambience of beautiful home environment.
Home-making materials derived from natural elements are combined into a unit thus create interior and exterior are provided by nature.
Door of the house designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, he used the glass side. Another most interesting feature is the home office with proportional sizes, pantry house interior decoration located in the kitchen, spacious entertainment room exists at other things.

NB's Tim Graham Discusses Cindy Sheehan Coverage on NPR
National Public Radio folks read NewsBusters. The new show "Tell Me More" noticed that NB Senior Editor Tim Graham analyzed their sympathetic segment on anti-war mothers of fallen soldiers and how they felt about Cindy Sheehan's decision to abandon her activism for now because of mean conservatives.
On Friday's edition of "Tell Me More," NPR played host Michel Martin's Wednesday phone interview with Tim as he sat in his messy MRC office about his objections to the NPR piece, and he explained how the media didn't play up that Cindy Sheehan didn't merely suffer from derogatory names, but she also threw around a lot of derogatory names of her own. Tim also called out Martin for inaccurately suggesting on her blog that President Bush never met with Sheehan.
The interview lasted about two and a half minutes. The other half of the show's "Backtalk" segment featured Chicago Tribune reporter (and blogger) Mark Silva.

• recondite •
Pronunciation: re-kên-dait • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Adjective
Meaning: 1. Concealed, mysterious, not readily seen or apprehended. 2. Abstruse, arcane, incomprehensible to all but experts.
Notes: Although the meaning of this word is rather recondite, the word itself is quite pedestrian: the adverb is expectable reconditely and the noun, reconditeness. It exhibits no other derivations.
In Play: Since the original meaning of the root of today's word was "to put away", "out of sight" was its original meaning: "Intrigued by the recondite inner workings of the curious little machine, Rusty Carr began immediately to take it apart." Today it is used far more widely in the second sense: "R. Cain gets most of his information from recondite sources that are difficult for others to find and check."
Word History: Today's Good Word comes to us from Latin reconditus, the past participle of recondere "to put away", made up of re- "again, back" + condere "to put together, preserve". The base verb here, condere is itself a complex of con- "together (with)" + dere "to put", which derives from the same primitive root as English do. English also borrowed the past participle of condere as condite "preserved; preserves", a word now considered obsolete. However, incondite "put together, built badly", based on the same Latin verb, still lurks in the deeper dictionaries.

What's Left? Errata
In order to help Nick Cohen and his publisher release an error-free second edition of What's Left?, I thought Aaronovitch Watch (Incorporating World of Decency) could usefully open an errata thread, to identify and where possible correct the mistakes that have -- inexplicably -- crept into the book.
I'll kick off; some of these will be familiar from what's gone before. Please add further errata in the comments; and please, simple errors and false factual claims only. (The man's entitled to his interpretations, however wayward, his opinions, however silly, and his arguments, however bad.)
[p.99] For "1996" read "1995".
[p.100] For "1999" read "1998".
[p.109] For "2001" read "2000".
[p.246] For "Information Research Bureau" read "Information Research Department".
[p.274] "Said couldn't manage a word of condemnation of the ideology and the methods of the suicide bombers." False. [via]
[p.335] Incorrect source given in the note on p.382: the Index writer called Theo Van Gogh a "free speech fundamentalist" in this piece, not in the one Nick cites.
[pp.357-8] "A cryptic dedication..." This bit is complete horseshit, as Nick has already acknowledged. [via]

Rydén, Pernille (Frederiksberg, 2015)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: This dissertation contributes to the strategic cognition research by exploring how managers' cognitive representations of an emerging, but potentially disruptive technology, influence their identification of strategic options. Managers tend to talk of social media as technology that changes customer behavior and disrupts industries, however, this attitude is not reflected in their strategic framing and implementation of social media. As behavioral theory seems inadequate to account for such paradox of social media sensemaking, two qualitative studies purposefully account for the sociocognitive challenges of understanding and using new, disruptive technology in business-customer interaction and provide theoretical frameworks for overcoming barriers to business transformation in the digital age. Departing from a thorough review within the marketing and business management disciplines, the studies illustrate how managers' strategic perspective is delimited, at the subconscious level, by experience, knowledge, and assumptions of businesscustomer interaction, market dynamics, and social media acumen, and how these biases are often confirmed in a social context instead of being challenged, despite of a market-driven, as well as an organizational demand of rethinking. Elicitation of the underlying conceptual structures of social media is based on in-depth interviews with 39 strategic decision-makers on B2C markets in Europe and the US. The first study across companies empirically investigates how strategic decision-makers cognize, formulate, and implement social media differently, and how managers' cognitive understandings of social media are acquired. A detailed study within a media company further demonstrates how managers' identified strategic framings of social media can express different operations of conceptual change of strategies through reflective thinking as higher-order learning. These framing operations can be the basis for discovering possible reorganizations of strategies (strategic reframing) to become aware of new opportunities with social media. The identification of the conceptual structures underlying managers' strategic cognition of social media through mental models and framing mechanisms contributes to the discussion of how strategic cognition of social media can strengthen the development of business and customer value, as well as individual and organizational capabilities. The findings lead to more nuanced understandings of the microfoundations of strategy at the intersected levels of management, cognition, market, and media. To my knowledge, this is the first attempt to comprehensively capture the variety of conceptual representations of social media at managerial level, and to theoretically and empirically account for how these socio-cognitive operations underpin a strategic change process involving social media at organizational level. The findings suggest how reflective thinking - at individual and collective levels - can help strategists and companies to better meet future challenges of adopting new technologies. The ability to challenge own and others' assumptions through reflective thinking can be initiated through reframing techniques and models developed from this research. Such practices become important to establish when businesses become increasingly dependent on fast-moving technology. Strategic processing becomes a critical precondition for understanding the nature of change and transformation and to be able to relate to customers in an appropriate manner.

Relational Perspectives on Brand Logics and Design Innovation Strategies and ImplementationNedergaard, Nicky (Frederiksberg, 2014)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: With the primary ambition to contribute to the brand orientation literature this thesis explores relationships between corporate brand identities and the management of design innovation. The thesis is based partly on a prolonged empirical case study of Bang & Olufsen and partly on a multiple case study of small and medium sized design-oriented firms – all characterised by a strategic focus on managing market-driving innovation. Grounded in an interpretive analytical approach the thesis examines how corporate brand identity as a strategic logic of the firm affects flows of management decisions and the structuring of design innovation strategies and implementation hereof. The thesis' theoretical foundation is anchored in the competence-based view on firm competitiveness. This foundation is complemented by institutional and organisational culture theories to the purpose of uncovering how organisational decision-makers are affected by corporate brand logics in relation to the management of design innovation processes and capabilities. The thesis presents four papers, which contribute conceptually and empirically to advance the brand orientation literature from a competence-based perspective focused on design and innovation management. Overall, findings suggest that corporate brand identity as a competitive logic in brand- and design-oriented firms can guide innovation strategy and decisions for coordinating management processes and the use of resources to develop brandsupportive innovation capabilities. However, it is also suggested that such brand logics should be complemented by market logics in a dynamic interplay. In this way a more pragmatic approach is achieved to the sustainment of innovation capabilities, which in an integrative manner support firm corporate brand identity and market adaptability as complementary management foci for customer value creation and sustained competitive advantages.

Case Study: the landscape architecture for people in CopenhagenYang, Binzhang (Frederiksberg, 2013)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: Urban green spaces have a significant impact on the balance of urban ecosystem, the adjustment of urban environment and especially the enhancement of urban citizens' life and work quality. A city's image and its citizens' health and well-being is to a certain extent directly affected by whether the quantity of urban green spaces is sufficient, whether the distribution is reasonable and whether the functionality is complete. Therefore, the planning and construction of urban green spaces are already being viewed as a city's green infrastructure as well as the guarantee of a city's sustainable development. Currently, China is on the fast track of an urbanisation process. How to handle environmental protection and how to maintain the relationship between ecosystem, urbanisation and city construction are crucial projects China is facing. In this respect, developed Western countries is one step ahead of China and have aggregated massive valuable experience which China can learn from. With this as aim, this Ph.D. research discusses the relationship between urban green spaces and citizens' life by studying the creation and evolvement of green spaces in Copenhagen. The research focus is to discuss the development situation of this city's urban green spaces and what can be learned by China. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8795

Kan giver-idealtyper forklare støtte til velgørenhed og understøtte relationsopbygning?Rasmussen, Hans Peter (Frederiksberg, 2013)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: "Giv-en-ged" er navnet på en kampagne, som Folkekirkens Nødhjælp (FKN) lancerede op mod jul tilbage i 2006. Den er et godt eksempel på, hvordan det at give penge til velgørenhed ikke kun handler om at hjælpe fattige mennesker i nød eller kun om at støtte et godt formål. Kampagnen solgte i 2006 over 50.000 gavekort, og salget via hjemmesiden www.givenged.dk nåede hidtil usete højder herhjemme for onlinehandel. Det medførte blandt andet, at DIBS (online betalingssystem) en enkel dag lukkede ned for salg på hjemmesiden, fordi det høje antal bestillinger blev forvekslet med et hackerangreb, som aktiverede sikkerhedssystem hos DIBS.

Resume: The dissertation 'Interactive Approaches to Rural Development' gives new theoretical and empirical knowledge in the collaboration on development of rural areas and landscapes. From a perspective about the development and the challenges faced, the study analyses which functions that are demanded by the rural areas. Furthermore, the study makes an analysis of the collaboration in an EU financed rural development association; the Local Action Group (LAG). The overall objective is to: Analyse and discuss approaches to rural development under Danish conditions. The dissertation is cantered around three papers introduced with a frame that contributes to the overall objective. With point of departure in the changes that have structured the Danish landscape, the first paper analyses and discusses how the Danish planning system can be optimized to plan for a multifunctional landscape. Paper two and three builds on the EU rural development policy LEADER that through local project based development supports new income opportunities for the local inhabitants. Collaboration on the rural development is a subject that requires an interdisciplinary analytical approach. The dissertation therefore builds on different theories and both qualitative and quantitative analytical methods. The theoretical foundation draws on generic network theory and various applications of this. This is conducted by inclusion of ideas from interorganisational interaction in an analysis of the collaboration between municipality and a locally anchored development association. In addition the theory of social capital is applied to analyse whether the partnership formation and collaboration has supported the development of the local area. Furthermore, the concept of multifunctionality is assessed as a principle to be applied in countryside planning and rural development. The empirical foundation of the dissertation draws on mixed method research approach with interviews and surveys that are studied through qualitative and quantitative data analyses. Two of the three papers take point of departure in a case study of LAG-Djursland. Based on the dissertation it is concluded, that a crucial factor in the development of rural areas and landscapes is the collaboration among relevant stakeholders– often arranged around a partnership. To secure a concrete and locally attuned development it is important to engage local anchored stakeholders. These stakeholders have the greatest knowledge about the local development opportunities and barriers. Though the dissertation builds on experiences from the Danish rural landscape, the analyses, discussions and conclusions will be relevant in an international perspective. The interactive approach and the analysis hereof will be applicable in other domains than that of rural development. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8592

Microsoft reports strong sales for Media Center operating system
Published 10:00 pm, Thursday, October 13, 2005
Microsoft is reporting a big increase in sales of its Windows version for home-entertainment computers -- indicating progress in an area of the market where Apple Computer soon will pose a new competitive threat.
The Redmond company plans to announce today that it has sold a cumulative total of more than 4 million copies of Windows XP Media Center Edition since the operating system was launched three years ago. The number has doubled since April.
Microsoft's announcement, to be made at the DigitalLife conference in New York, coincides with an update of the Media Center operating system. The program, a key part of Microsoft's effort to play a bigger role in the living room, is designed for viewing and accessing media on a computer using a remote control.
Latest business videos
Brad Brooks, Windows consumer marketing director, said Microsoft had already been planning to report the new figures even before Apple this week signaled plans to enter the market with a new program that adds some of the same functions to its iMac computers. But it's clear that Microsoft has taken note.
"Attempts at imitation are the sincerest form of flattery," Brooks said. "There's many of us sitting around today that are very flattered."
Brooks acknowledged that Apple's initiative increases the amount of competition in the market. Among other things, however, he pointed out that the Windows Media Center software offers the ability to view and record television on the computer, something that won't be offered by Apple on the new iMac.
Apple Chief Executive Steve Jobs on Wednesday took a different approach to the issue of television content, announcing a deal with The Walt Disney Co. to make select television programs available via download for $1.99 on Apple's iTunes store.
As with Microsoft's software, Apple's Front Row program for the iMac will offer the ability to play video, view photos and listen to music using a remote control. Analysts said it poses a potential threat to Microsoft.
"It gives Apple a play in the digital living room that it didn't have before," said analyst Roger Kay, president of Endpoint Technologies Associates.
Apple's moves, which also include a new video iPod, could boost the company's prospects in the broader personal-computer market, said analyst Matt Rosoff, at research firm Directions on Microsoft. "In the long run, I think that Apple could have a good chance of reclaiming some consumer PC share," he said.
Microsoft's Brooks pointed out that the company has the advantage of being in the Media Center market for three years, fine-tuning its approach.
The big surge in Media Center PC sales, for example, comes after Microsoft changed its licensing practices last year to broaden the market to more computer makers. The company also started allowing the Windows Media Center software to be used on PCs without TV tuners -- for people who just want to access other media using the remote control. That reduced the starting price for some Media Center PCs to around $500.
New features in the Windows XP Media Center Edition update include the ability to use Microsoft's upcoming Xbox 360 console to access content from a Media Center PC over a network, even if the PC is in another room.

Administrator setup for GSSMO
If you have the legacy free edition of Google Apps, upgrade to G Suite to get this feature.
This page is for administrators who plan to deploy G Suite Sync for Microsoft® Outlook (also known as GSSMO) for other users in their organization. To install GSSMO yourself and begin using it, you should instead see the GSSMO user help.What is GSSMO?
G Suite Sync for Microsoft Outlook is a Microsoft Outlook plug-in that lets you use Microsoft Outlook as a client for G Suite email, calendar, and contacts. Email, calendar events (including recurring meetings), and contacts are all synchronized between G Suite and Microsoft Outlook. Outlook Notes are synced with Google Docs. Outlook Tasks are synced with your Gmail task gadget. And your organization's global address list is automatically synchronized, as well. This includes your G Suite users, groups, shared contacts, and conference rooms, and provides contact look-up as well as free/busy information for users and conference rooms.
Beta feature: Synchronizing Outlook Notes and Tasks with G Suite are currently Beta release features.
Data synchronization occurs on the following schedule (and also each time you start Outlook):
- Email: Every minute
- Calendar: Immediately after you create or receive a meeting invitation, or every 10 minutes
- Contacts: Every 20 minutes
- Global address list: Every 24 hours
- Notes: Immediately after creating or changing a note, or every 60 minutes
- Tasks: Every 2 hours
Importing: GSSMO also lets users import data from Outlook to G Suite—either when initially setting up their user profile in Outlook, or any time afterwards. When importing, people have the option to import directly from an Exchange account or from a PST file. Keep in mind that executables and attachments over 25 MB are not imported to Gmail, as per G Suite restrictions. See below for details.
For information about which Microsoft Outlook features are supported and how using this service differs from using Microsoft Outlook with other mail systems such as Microsoft Exchange, see the GSSMO user help.
Edition requirements
- G Suite, Education, or Government
Admin console settings
Enable the following features in your Admin console:
- Sign in to the Google Admin console.
- Turn on GSSMO for your account:
- From the dashboard, click Apps, then click G Suite > Gmail > User settings.
- In the GSSMO section, check Enable G Suite Sync for Microsoft Outlook for my users.
- Click Save.
- Turn on the Google Calendar service (so users can create profiles). See Turn Calendar on or off for users for details.
- To use Global Address List (GAL) Generator:
- From the dashboard, go to Security > API reference. Where is it?
- Check Enable API Access.
- Click Save.
- Turn on contact sharing (so users' Global Address Lists are dynamically updated):
- Click Apps > G Suite > Contacts > Sharing settings.
- Select Enable contact sharing.
- Click Save.
- Turn on the Drive service and Drive apps (required for notes sync to Drive):
- To turn on Drive, see Turn Drive on or off for users.
- To allow users to install Drive apps, click Apps > G Suite > Drive > Data Access.
- In the Drive SDK section, check Allow users to install Google Drive apps.
Links to Microsoft's website are provided for your convenience. The links and their content may change without notice. Please consult Microsoft's website for the latest configuration and support information.
Operating system requirements
- Windows 10 (32 and 64 bit)
- Windows 8 (32 and 64 bit)
- Windows 7 (32 and 64 bit)
- Windows Vista SP1 (64 bit)
- Windows Vista SP1 (32 bit)
- Windows XP SP3 (32 bit)
Note: G Suite Sync for Microsoft Outlook is not supported for Mac. Microsoft Outlook for Mac does not support the Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI), which is required for GSSMO to communicate with Outlook. This Outlook limitation makes a Mac-compatible version of GSSMO infeasible.Microsoft Outlook requirements
- Microsoft Outlook 2016 (32 and 64 bit)
- Microsoft Outlook 2013 (32 and 64 bit)
- Microsoft Outlook 2010 (32 and 64 bit) * and this free/busy hotfix
- Microsoft Outlook 2007 with Office SP2
- Microsoft Outlook 2007 with Office SP1 and this hotfix
- Microsoft Outlook 2003 with Office SP3
Permissions requirements for users
Users need to have local admin permissions for their computers in order to perform the installation.
Port requirements
Open port 443 for the following applications on the computer on which you install G Suite Sync for Microsoft Outlook:
- Outlook.exe
- ProfileEditor.exe
GSSMO must be installed on each person's computer, who wants to use the plug-in. You have two options for installation:
- Push an .msi file to your users and let them use the Run Advertised Programs option in the Windows Control Panel. Download the .msi file below—be sure to pick the correct one, based on your users' version of Outlook. For information on implementing the .msi file, consult your Windows documentation.
Download 32-bit enterprise_gsync.msi (Outlook 2003, 2007, 2010, 2013, 2016 32-bit editions)
Download 64-bit enterprise_gsync.msi (Outlook 2010, 2013, 2016 64-bit editions)
- Let users download GSSMO themselves from the GSSMO download page. They can then follow these instructions to install the plug-in.
Importing: To migrate their old Outlook data to G Suite, users also need a separate tool, G Suite Migration for Microsoft Outlook. Users who download GSSMO version 2.1 or later from the download page get this migration tool, automatically. If you push GSSMO to users via an .msi file, however, you'll need to push G Suite Migration for Microsoft Outlook to them as well, or have them install the migration tool themselves. See below for details.
GSSMO lets users import data from an Exchange account or Outlook PST file using a separate migration tool, G Suite Migration for Microsoft Outlook. The import experience is seamless for users in that GSSMO launches the migration tool for them, so in most cases, users won't even notice they're using a separate tool.
GSSMO launches the migration tool in the following cases:
- When users import data while creating their user profile—either when first installing GSSMO or by choosing GSSMO > Set up a GSSMO user from the Windows Start menu (see creating a new profile).
- When users choose to import data to an existing profile by choosing GSSMO > Import data to GSSMO from the Windows Start menu.
In each of these cases, users can import mail, contacts, calendar events, and Outlook notes, which become available both in Outlook and the G Suite web interface. They can also import Outlook tasks, and journal entries, which remain available only in Outlook.
Migration tool must be installed: For G Suite Migration for Microsoft Outlook to launch, the tool must be installed on the user's computer. Downloading GSSMO version 2.1 or later from the GSSMO download page downloads G Suite Migration for Microsoft Outlook automatically, so users who do that can import data with no extra setup.

Rocky View Publishing assistant editor is sick of cold winter weather
Thursday, Feb 06, 2014 11:28 am
That little groundhog better be right, because I�ve had enough.
Balzac Billy didn�t see his shadow (thank God) on Feb. 2 so according to tradition, we�re looking at an early spring. He was right last year, here�s hoping for a repeat performance. While I will say the beginning of January was lovely for two weeks, I got used to it, and said stupid things like �it�s beginning to feel like spring,� and it did and spirits were high.
Hitting the bottom end of the -20�C again is hard to take after the bragging rights we had with spring-like temperatures of +12�C in late January, when for once, it seemed like the east was finally getting a taste of a prairie winter.
We�ve hit the part of the season where my skin is starting to look translucent and staying in bed under the covers seems like the best plan.
The dog pulls out the puppy-dog-eyes when he wants to go outside, which becomes a barter match between my partner and I, �No you take him out, he�s your dog,� or �I took him out last time, it�s your turn,� or the always popular, �Fine, Rock-Paper-Scissors.�
Poor dog waits a good 20 minutes before one of us loses and has to suit up to take him outside.
The �oh hurry up and pee,� threats start after 15 minutes of standing in -20�C for the prince to sniff every bush, snow mound, tree, fire hydrants in the vicinity at 4 a.m. just because he can.
Which of course means that he�s freezing after 20 minutes and has to sleep on the bed under the covers, stealing the warmth just to warm up.
Should have got a cat.
Should have moved to Florida, come to think of it.
But remaining positive is the key to winter, they tell me. It�s only two months away from spring, and I can�t wait.
Winter is always too long no matter where I live. It rains all winter on the west coast, temperatures plummet on the prairies and it�s just miserable up north. We plan to move to the east coast in the future, but after this winter, I think I�ll forgo that move for a while. Shovelling many feet of accumulated snow off of the roof is not my idea of fun in February.
Looking at the long range forecast, it doesn�t seem to be easing up, with the temperature still hovering around the -15�C until well past Valentine�s Day.
I would be perfectly happy to be a 30-something-year-old-snow-bird and fly the coup for the winter months, sunbathe and swim in the ocean, and return to Canada in all its glory for the summer months.
I can�t get enough of Canada in the summer. Our lakes, three-day hikes in the mountains, fishing and camping, I live for it. Getting past our winters is what�s exhausting to me.
The one bonus for me suffering through the winter months, is the winter cooking. Slow-cooked roasts, roasted harvest root vegetables, soups and stews, homemade breads and countless hours of baking treats to keep me smiling through another blizzard.
I just hope that all those treats, won�t prevent me from getting into those summer shorts when it finally rolls around, because that would be devastating.

I have no pictures to share with you this week (Bad blogger! Bad!) but lots of lovely links so let's get on with it.
1. This post on getting more curb appeal caught my eye because it looks like we will be attempting to sell our house next spring. After talking to contractors and realtors, that looks like our best option. Philip and I are thankful to have finally come to a decision on this. The panic will set in later.
2. Cherry Limeade is one thing I really want to be able to make at home. Even if the recipe gets it right (or close), I still won't be to copy Sonic's ice. I'm not sure why their ice is so good - and maybe I don't want to know - but it is better than other ice.
3. Making shorts from jeans is nothing new but these are super cute and I love how she finished the hem.
4. Tomorrow is Father's Day (hurry! Buy your card before it's too late!) and I thought about making this Homemade Twix Bar dessert for my children's dad (yes, that would be my husband) but...I'm making something else instead. I'll just have to make him this some other time.
5. Amy's post on When to Say When (concerning how many children to have in a family) is a thoughtful treatment of a tricky subject. The comments are mostly non-judgmental, if you feel like chiming in.
6. I know I've probably posted something like this before, but I really do want to make at least one of these t-shirt skirts. They just look so comfy.
7. Did you know you can make your own baking powder? Now you know.
8. Yes, I know I am a total nerd-geek-take your pick of a suitable label. And yes, I really want a Mockingjay shirt like this one.
9. 10 Words You Need to Stop Misspelling. The Oatmeal site is funny but crude, so read at your own risk.
10. 10 Things Never to Say to a Stay-At-Home Mom. Yep. Never say any of these things. We stay at home moms will smile politely while you say something stupid and then we'll write a blog post for the whole world about what a meanie you are. Be warned.
11. How to Blog Without a Niche. I really appreciated this post because, as I've thought about blogging more consistently and possibly reaching a wider audience, I know I've violated the first "rule" other bloggers always talk about: choose your niche and stick with it.
I've thought about changing this blog, about creating a new blog (who has the time!), changing the name, changing the focus...you name it and I've thought about it in order to "fix" my blog. But, as you can probably tell, I've decided against all those things, at least for now. This is my blog and it will continue to be about whatever catches my eye (those "diversions" in the title) and I will be telling you what a I really think about stuff (the "candid" part). There will be lots of books, some homeschooling, some parenting, a dash of a craft or two, pictures of the cutest children on the planet (ahem), personal anecdotes and probably a thousand other things. And that's OK.

I love Sonic ice!
My mom always treated us to cherry limeades on the way home from our homeschool co-ops and even now when I drink one, I have flashbacks to orchestra and dissection class. Good times.

While the nation has regained all the jobs lost during the recession, the home building sector clearly hasn't done its part, as the government jobs data released Friday show.
When the government tracks construction jobs, it looks at everything from building homes to building roads. A dive into the home-building portion of the data shows that the number of construction jobs has been climbing, rising about 7 percent to 2.6 million in May from a year earlier, when electricians and other speciality trade contractors are added. But that's way down from the high of 3.45 million in April 2006, the housing market's frothy days.
Jed Kolko, chief economist for Trulia, put the numbers into context this way: While jobs overall are back to their pre-recession peak, residential construction jobs are 34.5 percent below their peak.
Even if the specialty contractor jobs are stripped away, the residential construction jobs are still way off, almost 27 percent down from the peak, according to a Freddie Mac analysis.
These numbers are just another reminder that housing market, usually a strong contributor to economic growth, is not playing a pivotal role in turning the economy around. Instead, it is relying on the economy to bounce back and household income to rise so that housing can get the oomph it needs to fully recover. The thinking is if income grows, consumers will have more confidence to buy.
"We've got the cart before the horse," said David Crowe, chief economist for the National Association of Home Builders. "Since 2009, the housing market has not been the horse bringing the economy along."
Here are some of the factors at play behind the numbers.
Builders are reluctant to build
Builders just aren't convinced that there's enough demand out there for new homes. Mortgage rates have climbed. First-time home buyers, the bedrock of the housing market, have retrenched. The younger set -- loaded with student debt and struggling with underemployment – may not be able to save for a down payment or qualify for a mortgage as lending standards remain tight. And prices have soared in the last two years, though they've moderated in recent months.
All these factors are not inspiring builders to break ground on new homes and to hire more people, at least not for single-family homes. Instead, they're building apartment buildings that cater to renters. Construction for single-family homes increased just 0.8 percent in April from the previous month. But construction jumped nearly 43 percent for multifamily homes with at least five units, the government reported.
That phenomenon is a drag on construction jobs. Every 1,000 single-family homes built create roughly 3,000 jobs, according to the National Association of Home Builders. By contrast, every 1,000 multifamily units built generate 1,000 jobs.
Crowe noted that the builders who survived the downturn by nature are more conservative. "They're not going to expand their businesses until they feel the market is solidly back," he said.
Hiring trends
A lot of builders tried to keep their crews employed even during the darkest days of the housing crisis. They learned from past boom-bust cycles that it's tough to bring back employees once a crisis passes, Crowe said. Many builders are also small, family-owned operations that have long-term relationships with their workers, and they're loathe to let them go, he said.
But it's not just about relationships. It's expensive to hire and fire, said Kolko of Trulia. So builders did lay off aggressively because of the housing bust, but not as much as one might expect given the drop in construction activity.
Even in big impersonal companies, employment levels typically won't fall as much as sales do if that drop is expected to be temporary. In other words, if demand for a product drops 50 percent, a firm may not lay off 50 percent of its staff. In the home building sector, construction employment didn't fall as much as construction activity after the housing bubble burst.
Negative equity
Even five years after the housing meltdown, a sizeable chunk of homeowners remain underwater, meaning they owe more on their mortgages than their homes are worth.
About 6.3 million homes, or 12.7 percent of all properties with a mortgage, were underwater as of the first quarter, according to data released this week by CoreLogic, a mortgage research firm. About 1 in 10 homeowners are almost underwater, with less than 10 percent equity in their homes, a recent report from Black Knight Financial Services shows.
That's millions of homeowners who can't move – and buy a new home – unless they bring cash to the table. And it's another reason that builders are not rushing to build and hire. The builders aren't confident, and neither are the potential buyers.
A survey released this week by the MacArthur Foundation found that 43 percent of those polled said it is no longer the case that owning a home is an an excellent long-term investment and one of the best ways for people to build wealth. More than half said that buying a home has become less appealing than it once was.
And, perhaps more significantly, 70 percent believe the nation is still in the middle of a crisis and that the worst is yet to come.

The troublous Day has brawled itself to rest: no lives yet lost but that of one warhorse.
For was not Oliver, the earl's noble Spanish warhorse, in the castle?
And near her was a knight upon a warhorse of large size, with heavy and bright armour both upon himself and upon his horse.
Peoples come miles ter see Ranger fight; he wuz a warhorse Game.
This was for the heroic Mother Duchesne like the blast of a trumpet for a warhorse.
A Dog of Knowledge has free utterance; but the warhorse is almost mute, very far from free!
William sat on his warhorse, and called out Rogier, whom they call de Montgomeri.
What battle was to that Scriptural hero's warhorse so was the strife of stocks as breath in the nostrils of Mr. Bayard.
The flash of a fork appeals to him like the sound of a trumpet to the warhorse.
And at what he saw he gave an exclamation, sharp and low, and his eyes glittered like those of a warhorse which scents battle.

Former Sen. Rick Santorum announced Monday he will run for president in 2012 saying he would repair economic and moral damage he believes the country has suffered at the hands of the Obama administration.
Santorum said President Obama has devalued the U.S dollar and inflated prices on food and oil by borrowing and spending too many federal dollars to "prop up" the government.
"He's devalued our currency and he's devalued our culture through our marriage and through not standing up for the Defense of Marriage Act, through federal funding of abortions," Santorum said. "He devaluing our dollars and he devalues our other currency, our moral currency."
The Obama administration announced in February it would no longer defend the Defense of Marriage Act , a law that defines marriage as being between a man and a woman.
Santorum made his announcement at a rally at the Somerset County Courthouse in Somerset, Pa., near where his grandfather settled when he came to the United States from Italy.
Santorum served in the U.S. Senate from 1995 to 2007 and is a favorite among social conservatives, particularly for his stance against abortion and stem-cell research.
"We are ready to announce we'll be in this race and we'll be in it to win," Santorum said on ABC's Good Morning America during an interview before the rally.
While he has had some success in straw polls in the early primary states, Santorum still polls in the single digits, well behind GOP front-runner and former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney who announced his run last week.
Asked by host George Stephanopoulos why he thought he could win the nomination when he lost his Senate seat to Democrat Bob Casey by 59% to 41% in 2006, Santorum said voters are looking for a candidate who " has stood by their principles in good times and in bad."
"In 2006, I think, in everyone's estimation, was a pretty bad time for a Republican, particularly for a conservative," he said on Good Morning America, adding that his commitment to social security reform also got him into trouble with voters that year.
"If you look back at what I did and when I did it, people can say... 'well he may have lost but he didn't flinch, he stood by what he believed in and he continued the fight to the end,'" he said.

Spain leaves its footprints on the worlds catwalks
SHOES designed in Spain, particularly womens footwear, strut their stuff in the most prestigious fashion shows on the planet, from Milan to New York.
In fact, in the popular TV show 'Sex and the City', the central character, Carrie Bradshaw, sharply warned a thief not to make off with her Manolos. Owning a pair of shoes by this prestigious designer from the Canary Islands is nothing to be sniffed at. Shoes are highly addictive.
Throughout Spain you can find brands and designs of shoes that appear in Vogue, Marie Claire and Cosmopolitan. Fashion magazines and trend-setters choose Spanish shoes for their quality and design, which always perfectly complement the clothes in fashion at the time.
Spain is particularly well-known for the excellent materials it uses in its shoe-making, competing directly with Italy, generating prestige and pushing designers to make an even greater effort every year in a highly-competitive market which has numerous difficulties in terms of business migration.
Yet although some major brands move their factories to countries where the wage bill is lower, the actual design and management continues to take place in Spain since a good pair of shoes is not something that can be whipped up in a couple of days, and experience is indispensable when competing at the top end of the fashion industry.
Alicante abroadThe towns of Elda, Elche, Villena and Alcoi in the province of Alicante are internationally renowned as the centre of the shoe-production industry in Spain. These four municipalities are the birthplace of numerous international brands famous throughout the world of footwear, exporting boots, shoes and trainers of every type from kids shoes to boots for drag queens.
Youll even find some of the top makes of sports shoes in Elche, like Puma and Kelme their Spanish factories produce the football boots that many top players wear on the pitch.
In Elche, youll also find Panamá Jack, an internationally-famous brand that is known for its intrepid explorer image and which sponsors many cultural programmes and expeditions such as the Ruta Quetzal. This make specialises in hard-wearing, highly resistant walking boots that can take the strain of long hikes and challenging terrains.
Elda is the main exporter of top-of-the-range womens footwear. Shoes made in this area set the trend for many other accessories on the market, such as handbags and belts. If brands like Pedro García or Magrit produce a line of shoes with square heels, for example, the rest of the market follows suit and creates their own wares around this design not just shoes, but other fashion items.
The city of Elda has been churning out quality footwear for centuries, which is why it has a museum that displays tools and models of shoes from numerous past seasons.
This awe-inspiring collection includes shoes donated by famous people from all over the world among the most valuable exhibition pieces are footwear used by Pope John Paul II and the flamenco dancer Joaquín Cortés.
Shoe-makers who work in Elche have produced footwear for some of the greatest celebrities of our time Queen Sofía of Spain wears Elche-branded shoes, as do models like Esther Cañadas, and the TV presenter Anne Igartiburu.
Heading inland, Villena is the cradle of childrens footwear. The brand Petit Shoes creates and studies modern designs, always bearing in mind the delicate process of development and growth of little feet.
Villena is also the home of Boreal. This make produces, almost exclusively, mountainwalking shoes, its speciality being its cats feet trainers that are used by mountaineers seeking maximum grip on the rocks. Boreal boots are sold worldwide and countries like Australia and New Zealand are some of its biggest importers because of their well-known passion for mountain-climbing.
It never fails to surprise how small towns buried in the mountains miles from the coast have managed to leave their footprints in major shops and boutiques around the globe.
Only the bestThe shoe industry generates a multitude of economic and social influence throughout the Vinalopó district of the Alicante province. Its largest brands even sponsor events and associations to promote themselves and take part in various local projects.
Elda town council offers an award each year to the woman with the best-dressed feet in Spain, a prize that is designed to promote shoes produced nationally. Cinema director Luis García Berlanga travels to the city every year in order to hand over the prize personally.
Since 1999, the award has gone to presenter Ana Rosa Quintana; actress, singer and presenter Concha Velasco; presenter Anne Igartiburu; model, actress and former Miss España Carmen Cervera; presenter Terelu Campos; actress Paz Vega (of Spanglish fame), and singer Marta Sánchez, in that order. Last year's winner was TV presenter Nuria Roca.
This event, which always occupies a few pages in glossy magazines, is sponsored by locally-produced brands of shoes, by the town council and by the Footwear Museum. Additionally, the museum holds regular art exhibitions related to the world of design, shoes, and the industry itself, and loans part of its collection to other national exhibitions. The museum, which started off as a collectors display, is now not only a major tourist attraction but also a role model in terms of linking the history of small town industry and the social impact of its rocketing to fame.
New TrendsShoe fanatics will be in their element if they gatecrash one of the many international fairs that are designed for professionals in the industry so they can see in advance the new trends for the forthcoming season. Alicantes trade fair centre hosts the FuturModa every year, and the ModaCalzado fair is a not-to-be-missed annual event in Madrid. Both are a crucial date for the best designers who exhibit their wares to the thousands of business people who stroll amongst the stalls choosing the products they intend to put on display in their shops.
Shoes or boots?In winter, we mainly seek warmth and comfort, which is why boots are always on the catwalk. But the make and model is also crucial boots should be made of quality leather and the design should complement the clothing of the season. This winter, rounded toes with slightly forward-set insteps are indispensable and for more choice, medium-length boots are the height of fashion at the moment.
Footwear outlets: buy your shoes at factory pricesIn the towns and cities where shoes are manufactured you can find stores with the same product but at a substantially lower price. Buying directly from the factory reduces the prices of transportation, customs and commerce.

hello! i have my eyes bulged out and my self-steam is low. I don't like the way they look. Another think i have is a big nose tilted into the other side and this bothers me too. I am not sure which surgery should i go first, orbital decompression or rhynoplastic surgery. Please help. can they be performed the same time. How much is orbital decompression will it cost me?Thanks
I Want to Get Rhinoplasty and Orbital Decompression but I Dont Know Which First?
Doctor Answers 6
Orbital decompression done before rhinoplasty
It is always best to have medically related procedures performed first and elective cosmetic procedures preformed later. Orbital decompression is typically done out of medical necessity and is billed to the patient's medical insurance. It is important to address any underlying medical conditions that may be causing the eye protrusion. Wait a few months after orbital decompression to undergo rhinoplasty.
Orbital decompression
Do your homework on the orbital decompression procedure. It is usually done for eyes that bulge from either thyroid condition or a true craniofacial disorder. It should not be undertaken lightly and only by a surgeon experienced with the procedure. I have never done one and I've been practicing for 25 years, nor have I ever had a patient request it If I did see a patient who really needed it, I would refer it to someone who is is an experienced craniofacial expert. I would advise against it if done for mild orbitial proptosis. It would really help if you submitted photos.

Orbital Decompression and Rhinoplasty
I would do these 2 procedures at different times. It would be best to do the decompression first because the changes in your eyes may influence aesthetic choices with your nasal surgery.
You might also like...
Orbital Decompression Before or After Rhinoplasty
These two procedures should be done separately both for recovery and aesthetic reasons. The orbital decompression should be done first as this appears to be the most bothersome to you. Also once the eye appearance is improved your concerns about the nose may change, either convincing you that it is not needed or reinforcing that a rhinoplasty would be beneficial.

Orbital decompression should be done first, then later rhinoplasty.
Orbital decompression may be performed by oculoplastic surgeons, plastic surgeons, or facial plastic surgeons, each of which may have varying degrees of expertise with cosmetic rhinoplasty.
I'd do them separately, with the expert surgeon chosen separately for each procedure. Start with the orbital decompression first, as this may affect aesthetic decisions regarding your nose. Best wishes!

Orbital decompression with other surgeries
Morning Tony1,
The could be performed together but your recovery may be a little rough. As a surgeon who performs both these procedures but orbital decompression more frequently. It's not for the faint of heart and it does carry some risks. You should see a few oculoplastic surgeons before moving forward. There are very few surgeons qualified to perform both at the same time. Generally, I'd say perform them separately.

Guy Pearce Emmy Press Room Interview
Guy Pearce Has More Racy Comments About His Kate Winslet Love Scenes
Mildred Pierce's leading lady Kate Winslet snagged an Emmy for the miniseries tonight, and so did her costar Guy Pearce, who used most of his acceptance speech to gush about his love scenes with her. When he stopped by the press room, he had even more to say about his racy comments, what his wife will think, and wanting to know how he stacks up next to Leonardo DiCaprio.
- On what his wife thinks of his speech: "I'm not sure yet. I haven't asked her. She probably thought it was funny. I'm sure she'll tell me when I get home."
- On why the sex scenes with Winslet weren't awkward: "Look, because it was Kate, yes, we did have a good time. We had a good laugh really. They're nerve-wracking to have to do, but she made it really easy, I have to say."
- On who gave him love scene advice: "I don't know that anyone has given me advice about love scenes. Maybe I need some, I'm not sure."
- On whether Winslet has told him how his kissing skills compare with Leonardo DiCaprio's: "She hasn't. I keep asking her but she refuses to tell me, so there's obviously some bad news in there. She might tell me tonight if I get her drunk enough."

Show-of-Hands, Secret Ballots and the making of an Elected Oligarchy
Recently there have been open debates between senior members of the ruling PPP. Mr. Ramkarran, the respected House Speaker, is in support of a secret ballot to determine the next Presidential Candidate of the PPP. President Jagdeo, however, does not like the idea of a secret ballot, but would prefer that the members of the Central Executive Committee of the PPP show their hands when voting for the next candidate. This is a curious position to take by the President who was elected by secret ballot.
One might ask why is the President keen to have members show their hands when voting for the future Presidential Candidate. The answer to this lies somewhere in the series of Development Watch columns I wrote on elected oligarchy. If a leader is going to control the economic space in Guyana then he must maintain control over the executive members of the PPP party, which after winning the national election is able to govern under a Burnham Constitution.
This internal party control must be fortified before the leader accedes to the national stage to enjoy Forbes Burnham's Constitution. The internal control takes the form of generous pay packages and privileges for the family members of the leadership of the PPP. Therefore, the show-of-hands is a control mechanism intended to allow the President to select his candidate. In essence, then, this control system is at the heart of the making of the Guyanese oligarchy. The prize is to win the election in order to enjoy the luxury of non-transparency that comes with the Burnham Constitution. Once the party leader is armed with the Burnham Constitution, he can now control the economic space by showering tax payers' monies to chosen friends and families.
Key Features of the Oligarchy
The elected oligarchy comes into being by the following chain of events. First, Democratic Centralism allows the a few individuals in the PPP to select a Presidential Candidate who is then presented to the party mass supporters and the nation as a whole (this is the reason why the President wants the method of show- of-hands over that of secret ballots. Second, given the entrenched ethnic voting patterns, the Candidate is likely to win the national election and therefore enjoy the immunities of the mildly tinkered 1980 Burnham Constitution. Third, this Candidate then surrounds himself with chosen like-minded individuals. Fourth, generous State sponsored incentives (using the monies of the people) are then offered to chosen members of the business class. This allows the elected oligarchy to control the economic space in Guyana. Some members of the oligarchy will eventually reach the point of buying out media assets to further dominate the society and public views.
Adverse Effects
As I have noted in previous columns, the oligarchy promotes its own subservient business class. However, in the aggregate the oligarchic government crowds out private investments – hence a crucial reason for the perpetuation of a backward production structure in Guyana. Economic transformation will require effective governance and large amounts of foreign private investments (from multinationals and from the Diaspora).
Until this period, the oligarchy does not seem too keen to lose control of the existing tiny economic space. Allowing large inflows of foreign private capital will increase the economic space and make for faster economic transformation. It is this transformation that will allow for better wages and salaries for public and private workers. The citizens of a nation are as rich as what they produce.
The oligarchy also retards rapid economic progress through the group-think syndrome. Once the voting members of the Executive and Central Committees are under the control of a Benefactor-in-Chief, they will not likely raise questions when wrong policies are about to be implemented. The first example would be the Skeldon sugar factory investment when it was known to analysts by the mid-1990s that sugar agreement could come under threat because of the new WTO rules. Second, the financing of the LCDS, enshrined in REDD schemes, is uncertain and cannot provide the level of funds for structural production transformation of the economy. In other words, the society does not do as well as it could with greater freedoms. This is shown by negative total factor productivity (TFP) growth in recent years as some studies have shown. As I mentioned, some time ago TFP measures how well a country is utilizing its resources. With negative growth, it means the country is doing a poor job in utilizing its human and other resources optimally.
Baseline Constitutional Reforms
The only way to break away from such a control mechanism exerted on the country by a few individuals is to have deep Constitutional reforms. One such reform could include abandoning the Executive Presidency. A second reform would be to ensure that a party leader never gets to select the Members of Parliament as the present list system allows. The party list system allows the party leader – possibly under the control of a Benefactor-in-Chief – to select like-minded Parliamentarians who will not raise too many objections to misrule. However, the leader shoots himself in the feet because it is not possible to get alternative viewpoints on potential policy failures.
The bigger problem is the country is taken down sub-optimal investment paths.
Therefore, Constitutional reform must allow the situation where Members of Parliament are elected directly by the people. Parliamentarians must be made accountable to a specific geographic location rather than a leader or political benefactor. One way to facilitate this would be to have an upper and lower house of Parliament.
In this arrangement, in my opinion, there is no need to jettison the system of proportional representation. The Prime Minister could be elected via proportional representation while the Parliamentarians are elected on the same ballot but for a specific geographic location. There are other arrangements that have to be implemented to prevent oligarchies from emerging after free and fair elections. The crucial point is Guyana's democracy is deeply flawed and it does not serve well the developmental needs of the country.

(This is something Chris Cooley said on his ESPN 980 radio show Monday afternoon. I have not asked for an official comment from the team.)
"I went to a Redskins pep rally in San Francisco for this [Raiders] game," Chris Cooley said on his ESPN 980 radio show Monday afternoon. "The Redskins host a pep rally before every game in the opposing city. It's not necessarily for out-of-towners; these people watch the Redskins every Sunday in San Francisco. And it was awesome to go to this, because it's not business people, you're not entertaining people, you're not doing anything for money. I showed up with Larry Michael, Bruce Allen, Doc Walker, and we went and talked with the fans, we hung out with fans, just to say what's up. Because that's an unbelievable support system.
"It was so much fun. We've done it a couple weeks in a row. We did it in Green Bay….In Green Bay, Bruce says, Hey, I'm Bruce Allen, it's great to be here, here's Chris Cooley. Throws me under the bus. But Oakland was much better, because Bruce [worked] in Oakland, he had a big thing to do in Oakland. So he said, I want to talk to these people.
"He gets up. I talk normal — I can't do this pumped-up talk — but Bruce is a politician at this. Gets both his hands up in the air: WE LOVE THE REDSKINS!!!! I INVENTED THE BLACK HOLE IN OAKLAND – this is what he says – AND NOW I WANT TO GET THE BURGUNDY HOLE IN WASHINGTON D.C.
"Everyone freezes. The Burgundy Hole? And it's one of those moments where he has no clue the sexual reference to the Burgundy Hole. And it was just funny, kind of off-the-cuff. Burgundy Hole, Bruce? And I wouldn't have said it, but everyone videoed it."
Is there a video? If so, someone please send it along.
As for Washington using "The Burgundy Hole," someone once mentioned that name on a message board. It came after someone else suggested fans call FedEx Field The Big Package.
"That's about as bad a nickname as someone could come up with, short of borrowing The Oakland Coliseum nickname and calling it The Burgundy Hole," the person wrote.

Comprehensive Statistical Analysis of a Mathematics Placement Test PROCEEDINGS
Michael Pilant, Robert Hall, Eunju Jung, Texas A&M University, United States
Society for Information Technology & Teacher Education International Conference, in Austin, Texas, USA ISBN 978-1-880094-92-1 Publisher: Association for the Advancement of Computing in Education (AACE), Chesapeake, VA
As part of an NSF STEP grant, a math placement exam (MPE) has been developed at Texas A&M University for the purpose of evaluating the pre-calculus mathematical skills of entering students. It consists of 33 multiple-choice questions, and is taken online. A score of 22 or higher is required in order to register for Calculus I. To date, more than 15,000 students have taken the MPE. This paper focuses on the psychometric properties of the MPE based on analysis of test score results over a four-year period from 2008 to 2011. Item Response Theory (IRT), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and the computation of Cronbach's alpha have been performed. The value for Cronbach's alpha exceeds 0.90. This is comparable to high-stakes placement tests such as the SAT and the Advanced Placement tests. A brief analysis of the degree to which student performance in Calculus I can be predicted using MPE scores is also presented.

France's former foreign minister, Roland Dumas, and the country's leading auctioneer, Jacques Tajan, are to be tried after accusations of an alleged fraud involving artworks left by the Swiss sculptor Alberto Giacometti.
Mr Dumas, 81, the closest political ally of the late president, François Mitterrand, was acquitted in January of fraudulently accepting antiques and a pair of shoes during the Elf oil company scandal. He was ill for much of that trial and lawyers said that they feared for him if he had to return to court.
In 1993 Giacometti's widow, Annette, died and Mr Dumas, who practised at the bar with Mitterrand, was appointed her executor and principal administrator of a proposed foundation dedicated to the sculptor, who died in Switzerland in 1966.
Family disputes over Giacometti's legacy and a series of court cases were considered the main reason for the 10-year delay in setting up the foundation, which intends to lend thousands of unexhibited sculptures to museums across the world.
But the impending trial of Mr Dumas and Mr Tajan has revealed other legal problems over the legacy of the artist. Giacometti's slim works fetch millions, with a top price of $14m (£8m) having been paid for his sculpture Grande Femme Debout II - big, standing woman.
The 2.68 metre statue was sold by Christie's in New York in 2000. In ordering a trial, Judge Colette Bismuth-Sarron submitted a report which alleged that the auction house kept more than €300,000 (£210,000) from a Giacometti sale in 1994.
She alleged that €380,000 was transferred by the firm to Mr Dumas's bank account although there was "practically no trace" of legal assistance to the auctioneer by the retired politician.
Lawyers for Mr Tajan said he had "only obeyed instructions" given to him by Mr Dumas.

Debatable whether this deserves a topic, but check out this transcript of a radio interview:
Highlights (for me at least). This is stuff we may "know" intuitively but it's nice to hear it said out loud.
We just trusted our board. We had him rated a lot higher than the seventh round. Just the fact that we traded to move up and down, our spacing in between (picks) was different than weve ever had. There were times when we were 56 picks away. It was just great to see B.J. still on the board when we were picking.
Terrell Manning was really in charge, commanded the huddle very well, I think youll see his ability to play sideline to sideline and things like that.
On the safety position:
Is it five and five? Six and four, with the corners and safeties? With Charles playing so many different positions I really like the group.
I think its their time to step up and compete for the 53. Jerron McMillian really jumped off (the film). I thought he had one of the more impressive three days of practices.

I thought it was a pretty good read, but you kind of need to filter through the coachspeak. Right now every one is excited about the new rookies and how good they look in shorts in May. The two quotes that stood out to me were the ones about Manning and McMilian.
As for the safety discussion, I noticed again how the only thing he could say about Peprah was that "he played a lot of snaps." Not really a measure of support there.

yeah not to mention he reveals that they rated coleman "a lot higher than 7th" which to me means 5th or 4th/5th range. Which by transitive property of drafting... all their 4th-6th rounders were also higher value than coleman.

In reference to hayward he says they put in 2 defenses. Which two was he talking about? 3-4/nickel or 3-4/4-3? A lot of ways they could go with they way they drafted this year I think..

The more I hear em talk about manning the more excited I am about him rotating hawk or bishop, (I think the difference between the positions is gonna phase out, not just in our defense but around the league as well) the only problem I see is that dom seems to favor 3-down players, even if they aren't really 3 down players, rather then rotating players. and I think hawk is better on all three combined then manning is, especially his rookie year...

Depth! We didn't have much of it last season on this defense. This year it's a different story. We return nearly everyone and have added a slew of new players in areas of concern. Front seven alone, we added Daniel Muir, Anthony Hargrove, Jerel Worthy, Mike Daniels, Nicke Perry, and Terrell Manning. Players have been put on notice, no doubt. It wouldn't surprise me one bit to see up to 3 rookie starters this season on defense.
I think the Packers will take a different approach to the secondary this season. They will have their best players out there for the situation. I think they have the flexibility with Woodson to do a couple different combinations. Obvious passing situations could call for Williams, Shields, and Hayward at CB with Wood dropping back to safety with Burnett. Base D could call for Woodson and Tramon at corner with Peprah/McMillian and Burnett at safety. Or maybe Wood drops back to full-time safety. I just think we have a lot more options this year defensively.

Clearly Peprah is a stop gap until a better starter comes along, because you couldn't fix every defensive position in one season plus being that McMilian is a raw 4th round pick, he might need a little time to develop in order to ready to start.

Hope one understands that if there is a premium on reps in this D, it CLEARLY comes at the safety position. At least one of them back there better know the deal. Safety in this fit is no easy task.

Iran's Fisheries Exports Up 165 Percent in 8 Months
Exports of Fisheries in Iran jumped 165.1 percent, toping $25.22 million during the period of March till August this year, compared to same period in the previous year, reported the official Iranian news agency (IRNA).
The agency cited a report by the Exports Promotion Center of Iran as saying that 11.9 tons of caviar, 440.9 tons of assortments of shrimp and 78.8 tons of fresh and frozen fish were exported in the period.
It also said that exports of caviar with 194 percent, shrimp with
85.9 percent and fresh and frozen fish with 81.7 percent registered the highest rates of increase, respectively in the period.
Meanwhile, Iran exported some 70 tons of caviar last year, said managing director of the country's fisheries company Mohammad Reza
The exports earning stood at 100 million marks, he said, adding that 80 percent of the product went to Europe, 10 percent to Japan and the rest to other countries.
The country's total sturgeon catch in the period reached 800 tons, which produced 90 tons of caviar, Hosseini said – Albawaba.com

The University Record, September 24, 1997
Bollinger shares a brief, quiet moment with his wife, Jean Magnano Bollinger, after the Hill Auditorium ceremony. Photo by Bob Kalmbach
Watching from the eighth row-center of Hill Auditorium were members of President Lee C. Bollinger's immediate and extended family, taking pride in sharing his achievements.
In very personal comments during his inaugural address, Bollinger acknowledged that his new job imposes burdens on his wife, Jean Magnano Bollinger, "especially on her efforts to develop her own career as an artist."
"For resisting a world that is too slow to catch up with our ideals of social fairness, I am deeply admiring. For patiently and graciously enduring some of what we cannot change, I am empathetic. And for voluntarily embracing with enthusiasm and elegance so may part of my life I am forever grateful."
Speaking to others of his family in the audience children, Lee and Carey; parents, Lee and Pat; brother, Brad, and brother Mark and his wife Debbie; and his sister, Tami, the president said that when he uses the term `family' metaphorically, "it derives from its highest form."
He also acknowledged Jean's family: father, Marco; brother, Marco and his wife Sheila and their children Marco, Michael and Matthew; her sister, Patti, and her partner, John; her cousin, Paul; and her mother, Darlene, "who passed away a few years ago, remains a pervasive presence in all our lives, especially today."

What is a watershed? Know it or not, it's very important to understand where your local streams and rivers flow and how our actions impact their health, and how their health impacts us. Hear what people in Alexandria, Virginia (yes, Alexandria is in the Chesapeake Bay watershed!) had to say in this Chesapeake Unscripted video.

The responses to the unexpected question emphasize that many people don't even know that they ALL live in a watershed… and not very many individuals know what watershed they are in. Other issues are more important to them, they think, than this "narrow environmental" issue. But, you can bet that many of these same unknowing individuals will be quick to complain if they suffer losses from tributary flooding!

One wonders what damage we are causing to our watershed when so few really even understand what it is and it's importance.
