>From The Bryan Press, Oct. 31, 1889
HITT - At the residence of his son, James HITT, in Pulaski township, Oct.
26th, 1889, of paralysis, Garret T. HITT, in the 83rd year of his age. The
deceased was born in Culpepper county, VA. in 1807, and was married to Miss
Anzelana GLADSTONE in 1833. Thence he came to Seneca county, O., in 1838
(he came to Williams county, Ohio), where he resided continuously for
nearly 51 years. He endured the vicissitudes of pioneer life, and mourned
the loss of eight children, and the companion of his earthly pilgrimage,
with the latter of whom he walked in tenderness and affection for over 50
years. Father HITT was a loving husband and a kind father, and firmly
attached to his convictions, always preferring duty to favor. And at the
advanced age of 82 years, 8 months and 9 days "He laid down his rude staff
like one that is weary, and calmly reposes forever." - J. A. H.
J. A. HITT and family take this method of kindly thanking the friends who
so generously assisted at the preparation, funeral and burial of their dear

county, O., June 19, 1836. From thence he moved to Williams county in 1837,
in which he has been a resident almost continuously for 51 years. He had a
kind and forgiving heart, and with his friends was generous to a fault. He
bore his sufferings for nine months without a murmur, and at last bowed to
the decree that took him to his eternal rest. The deceased leaves a wife
and son, an aged father and one brother behind to mourn this irreparable loss.
"Dearest brother, thou hast left us,
Here thy loss we deeply feel;
But 'tis God that has bereft us,
He can all our sorrows heal."

>From The Bryan Press, June 27, 1918
Called By Death During Past Week
It is with mingling of greatest joy with deepest sorrow that we bid the
last farewell to Mother. Nothing is a greater incentive to more perfect
living than to review the life of one to whom God has said, "Well done."
Grace Ellen MARSH HITT was born March 15, 1885 and passed away to her
reward June 18, 1918, aged 33 years, 3 months, 3 days. Early in life she
gave her heart to the Master, uniting with the First Brethren church at
Bryan. She was an ardent Sunday school worker and at the time of her
departure was the teacher of the Women's Bible Class at the New
Philadelphia Church of the Brethren, of which she became a member on May
22, 1913.
Her life was an example of beautiful christian living. She was a tender
companion to her family. Very few young people of her experience enjoyed
such a large circle of friends. She was never strong physically, but in
spite of that had a life's work enough for a strong man. She had faith that
God would supply needed strength. With her to know God's will was to do it.
On July 18, 1909 she was united in marriage to Owen D. HITT and to them God
entrusted the care of three children, Lengre G., Otis D., and Wesley A.,
who with the father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Andrew MARSH, four sisters,
Katie Alta, Nellie Elizabeth, Bessie Belle, and Daisey Murriel, and five
brothers, Frank Melvin, Clyde Andrew, Charles Daniel, Wm. Wayne, and
Kenneth Dale, are left this side the vale to await the time when we can go
to meet her. One sister, Annie Pearl, preceded her to the Beyond, Sept. 17,
We desore to thank all friends who so kindly assisted us in our time of
sorrow and especially those who offered their machines, and Bro. G. W.
SELLERS and the Singers. - O. D. HITT and children.

New TOD Residents Become Anti-Transit NIMBYs
It seems that even though King Farm was designed with a light rail right-of-way in mind, residents don't see the need for it, preferring to drive their cars. One resident formed the anti-transit group after realizing that the light rail would pass in front of her house, a fact that she claims she was never made aware of.
Kaid Benfield writes:
"...the thing is, we need the transit to make these big suburban developments work for the larger region's traffic and for the environment. King Farm is not an inner suburb. It's about 10 miles beyond the Capital Beltway [...] and 21.6 miles from NRDC's downtown DC office, according to Google Maps. There's a shuttle to the Metro station, another thing the developer did right, but that only helps if you're going where the Red Line goes, basically only south from the station since it's the end of the line.
For those who live, work or shop along its route, the Transitway will not only make it easier to reach the Metro (or to reach King Farm from the Metro) at more times during the day but also run along more of an east-west route, linking its customers to additional centers of employment and activity."

Towards a Non-parochial, Non-partisan Framework for the Study of Design History
This paper articulates, a non-parochial, non-partisan, framework for study of design history that is generalised enough to incorporate the approaches and contribution, of all cultures, in all periods of time, and all geographical settings. The framework can embody all types of man made products. This is achieved firstly by looking at the development of design as epistimic activity. In the epistimic approach, both design and thinking is seen as a relational activity and the nature of relationship in the thinking style determining the nature of design development. Development of metaphoric thinking, rational thinking, empiricism, and system thinking; are shown as determining the nature of design development. Secondly we look at design development being facilitated by developments energy, materials, structures, machines, control systems, and systems. One such layer of creates the foundation for the development another layer of design development. Thirdly we take up the meta-theoretical approach of man's worldview. In this, design contributions are mapped in hedonistic – ascetic continuum on one axis and technological – emotional continuum as the other axis. Such a classification is shown to be able to incorporate the diversity of human creativity from all cultures.

Pre-filing for the 82nd Texas Legislature is in full swing, with over 370 bills already filed since the Nov. 8 kick-off. Let the craziness officially begin.
One of the most controversial bills that will receive consideration when the session kicks off at noon January 11, 2011, will govern cell phone usage in a moving vehicle. Already four members of the Texas House and two members of the Texas Senate have jumped in with proposals to penalize drivers using wireless devices while behind the wheel.
This is one bill we should expect action on.

China's thick smog arrives in Japan
China's thick smog arrives in Japan
The suffocating smog that blanketed swathes of China is now hitting parts of Japan, sparking warnings Monday of health fears for the young and the sick.
The environment ministry's website has been overloaded as worried users log on to try to find out what is coming their way.
"Access to our air-pollution monitoring system has been almost impossible since last week, and the telephone here has been constantly ringing because worried people keep asking us about the impact on health," said an environment ministry official.
Pictures of Beijing and other Chinese cities shrouded in thick, choking smog played out across television screens in Japan last week.

1. According to this Japanese article, it appears to be particularly bad in western Japan
Japanese standards for air-borne particulate matter (PM 2.5) have been exceeded in the cities of Fukuoka, Hiroshima and Osaka, among others. Fukuoka Prefecture (state), on the island of Kyushu, has announced that it will set up 10 additional measuring sites, for a total of 21, and post some of the data on its home page. Data from Tokyo and other parts of eastern Japan are inconclusive about the effects of the pollution from China.
Compounding matters is the upcoming Japanese cedar (sugi) pollen season, which can be as bad as ragweed for allergies. *Cough cough*

Over here in the east, we've got a lot of haze, but it could be mostly from pollen rather than Chinese pollution.

Did you see it? Apparently, by Friday it had reached the Hokuriku and Tohoku regions on the Sea of Japan coast, but their little graphic showed it dissipating before it reached the Tokyo area.

Kairakuen, which is considered one of the "Big Three" gardens in Japan.
I've managed to get through the winter so far without any adverse health effects, although the flu has been going around the local schools.
I understand completely about 高校入試 and 大学入試. I hope you don't have to fork out too much money for that. Of course, the "fun" part comes when the kid makes it into a university, or a private high school.

Raleigh NC (SPX) Nov 23, 2011
Everyone knows that climate affects our water supply, but new research from North Carolina State University gives scientists and water-resource managers an unprecedented level of detail on how climate and precipitation influence groundwater and surface water levels in the Southeast.
Researchers found that the groundwater, primarily from unconfined aquifers, available in any given month is directly influenced by the amount of precipitation that fell in that watershed three months earlier. For example, groundwater levels in April are affected by precipitation that fell in January.
Similarly, streamflow - the amount of water in rivers, streams and other surface waters - is influenced by overall groundwater levels over the previous three months combined. So streamflow in April is influenced by groundwater levels in January, February and March.
"This is the first time we've had this specific understanding of how climate and precipitation influence groundwater and streamflow in the Southeast," says Dr. Sankar Arumugam, co-author of a paper describing the study and an associate professor of civil, construction and environmental engineering at NC State.
The researchers looked at the Southeast region of the United States, stretching from Virginia to Florida and westward to include Alabama.
"Our findings give water-resource managers significantly more information they can use to make planning and policy decisions to better prepare for water shortages or drought by developing management plans that account for both streamflow and groundwater," Arumugam says.
The researchers evaluated 20 to 30 years of data from 20 watersheds throughout the Southeast, as well as climate data from the El Nino Southern Oscillation - which denotes hot (El Nino) or cold (La Nina) sea-surface temperature conditions in the tropical Pacific.
The paper, "Role of Climate Variability in Modulating the Surface Water and Groundwater interaction over the Southeast United States," is available online from the Journal of Hydrologic Engineering. The paper was co-authored by Dr. Naser Almanaseer, a former Ph.D. student at NC State who is now on faculty at Al Balqa Applied University in Jordan.

Not so many sing about the cruel—but all too common—fate of being buried unrecognized, unheralded, and in an unmarked grave.
McCartney's unheralded appearance—he simply wandered on stage with his trademark Hoffner bass—was the spectacular answer.
They're the unheralded players fighting for a spot on the team.
In conversation with the novelist William Boyd some years ago, I queried him on the names of unheralded authors.
Their appearance in public was sudden and unheralded; and they disappeared as silently and mysteriously.
In the mountain country the change comes swiftly, unheralded.
It was evening when Terrence reached the town unannounced and unheralded with his right arm in a sling.
He came in unheralded, and was in the midst of them before they knew.
These unheralded and humble heroes have at the call of duty, as circumstances required, done their part each in his own way.
How would she receive him, coming out of nowhere, unheralded and unexplained?

Curious how did GM default on the bond holders as they technically owned the company at disolution.....because they make it up as they go along....and you SIGN off on it.
He is saying you can't repay a debt with anything other than lawful money which is nowhere to be found...so you are agreeing to restructure your old debt and assign to NEW creditors with YOUR permission...
not everything he is saying is false...it is hard to execute....because once in court you play by their rules....YOU requested bankruptcy hearing so YOU abide by their rules....outside of court you still have some control.

In Summer 2011, with the valuable input of the citizens of Pittsburgh and the City Department of Public Works, City Planning launched a project to create a complete inventory for war monuments and memorials within the City of Pittsburgh. At this time, City Planning has established an initial inventory of over 120 monuments and memorials within the City. This initial inventory can be downloaded by clicking the link below.
The City is presenting this initial inventory and asking that citizens respond if they have any corrections, information, or if they know of any additional war monuments such as an honor roll, artwork, memorial, or monument pertaining to any war or individuals connected to an American conflict. Interested persons may visit the website or contact 412-255-2200.
It is intended that once location, better photographs, and condition information is garnered and validated, this inventory will be compiled into a lasting online database and further utilized to care for and maintain the City's collection of these pieces.
This Citywide project has been created and will be completed in collaboration with the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hall & Museum, the Senator John Heinz History Center, the Northside Leadership Conference and the help of the Veterans and community organizations throughout the City.

I have completed my 2009 video trip report DVD that goes along with my fest report from last year. It contains several sections, including my trip there, Saturday at the Fest, highlights from the No Minimum Bid Auction, the Saturday Night Music Jam led by Brother Jeremy, and almost a half hour of short interviews with most of the folks there.
You can read more and see a YouTube clip from the DVD here:
The disc is available for $5 (and I am paying shipping, currently) — PayPal me at alsplace [at] pobox [dot] com or contact me directly.
I will soon be working on a 2010 disc, and also have archives of older Fest footage (as far back as 1994) to make available. These cheap DVD projects (tons of time to import edit and create) help fund me getting to the fest now that my disposable income isn't quite what it used to be 😉

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
I am already neutered, housetrained, in need of an experienced adopter, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and not good with cats.
COLE is a gorgeous, sweet and loving 6 year old Black Lab. He weighs approximately 89 lbs, is neutered and up to date on all vaccinations including rabies.He is heart worm negative and is currently on heart worm prevention and flea/tick protection He gets along great with people, adults, children and other dogs. He is house trained and crate trained. COLE has NO known health issues. He was surrendered by his owner because she is military personnel and was being deployed and needed to find a GREAT home for him. This gorgeous 6 year old lab has an abundance of energy! COLE delivers a sweet burst of high-octane energy and is tailor made for young, active, athletic and adventurous people who love to run, hike, swim etc. A beautiful and athletic black lab, Cole is very special and will do best with a special owner who understands the brains and drive of a great dog like this. He has successfully completed basic obedience training in an in-house training program at Highland Canine Training, LLC. in Hickory, NC. His trainer states that he is very smart, eager to learn and eager to please. He is very responsive, sweet and friendly with people, and gets along well with his kennel mates. We know that he is very alert and tuned in to any movement around him and that would make him an ideal candidate for agility training, playing fly ball or just plain Frisbee! He is an excellent candidate for scent training and we hope that his forever family will provide that for him along with lots and lots of LOVE!! COLE will come with a new Easy Walk Harness and lead and a collar and leash, Rescue ID Tag and HW prevention. Highland Canine Training, LLC will also continue to work worth Cole and his new forever family at no charge. He has many good years left to share his love with a very special someone. He will be a very LOYAL, LOVING and GREAT friend and companion.
If you are interested in adopting COLE, please complete the ADOPTION APPLICATION at this link: https://tsaabanimalrecue.pandaform.com/pub/fmblk3/new
or by e-mail to: email@example.com
Adoption application and home visit will be required prior to adoption approval.
COLE, a Dallas Labrador Retriever/Labrador Retriever dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever/Labrador Retriever for sale in Dallas, or seeking a Labrador Retriever/Labrador Retriever dog from a breeder in Dallas.

Looking for ideas of things to do at home. She is very bright and full of energy. I'd love to get a head start and start homeschool before the new baby comes... Any advice is appreciated! Thanks
At 18 months, she's actively learning like crazy anyway - walking, talking, coloring, dressing, routines - everything is a learning experience for her because she's so new to life. I don't think it's really necessary for you to do anything differently than you already do.
If you really want to do something with her that feels more like "teaching" or "school", I'd look into simple, easy things like crafts or maybe watching some educational kids TV. Read to her. Keep it simple.
Good luck, and congrats on the new baby!
I love this age! When I'm in charge of a little one this age, I generally just follow them around making sure they are safe while they do their thing. Usually they'll empty and fill containers, line things up, pour things, stack and nest things, develop their motor skills (climbing, sliding) etc. Since you aren't able to be super active, you can do things like set up a rice bin with plastic measuring cups. It's a very exploratory age:-)
I tend to think of unschooling as the extension into childhood of the natural learning that kids do when they're infants and toddlers. Think of how your little one is learning to talk: not by instruction, not by exposure to carefully controlled and sequenced vocabulary, not by daily prescribed practice times, not by working with trained educators, not motivated by levels and grades ... simply driven by her natural curiosity, motivated by a desire to become increasingly competent in the world, supported by a caring adult who responds to her needs and includes her in her daily life. This is unschooling in a nutshell. Unschoolers simply choose not to replace this effective child-driven, in-the-course-of-life model of learning with a more structured artificial model as children get older.
So you are already unschooling. You don't need to do anything special. Just observe, love, respond, nurture, live your life and include your child in yours. It is enough. It is unschooling.
Mountain mama to one great kid and three great grown-ups
Your already ARE unschooling! If you want to do more, just expose your child to new things! Make a "Sensory Box" to play in, visit a children's museum, and READ READ READ. Even if your child isn't paying attention, read some books aloud during the day. Just live life and try out lots of new things with your child. The biggest things we did (my son is now 3) is make our home more montessori like so that he could do more on his own. We made an accessible snack area, have shelving that is open with some easily removable trays and baskets he can carry to his table. We have lots of books toys and art supplies around for him to use.

We made an accessible snack area, have shelving that is open with some easily removable trays and baskets he can carry to his table. We have lots of books toys and art supplies around for him to use.
Accessibility is also important with regular items around the house as well, IMO. With some age-appropriate limits, the house is a child's as well.
Kitchen cupboards with pots and pans, drawers with rolling pins and cookie cutters (which could be sharp--know your child!). Tools under supervision-- I know that an 18 month old would be in exploration mode, not actually creating things yet. But still, they can experiment with measuring tapes and sand paper (again--you know your child and how well they can handle some supervision). Their world expands if you can spend some time and supervise at times. So, many more special things can come out when daddy or mommy come to play. And when they can't, there are still fun things to explore.
I think it is important to invite children to explore and experiment as far as you feel comfortable. It gives them a sense of ownership-- the house and the world is theirs to explore. It is also an exercise for the parent to trust their children. Again, as far as you feel comfortable, which could be very different from the family next door.
You know your child. My oldest was just fine with a measuring tape at 18 months, and many other things. She didn't put every blasted thing into her mouth and was reasonably gentle for a toddler that age. DD2 came along, she put everything into her mouth and she climbed and launched herself off with abandon. My friend's kids were different still and required very high levels of supervision--any thing that could go wrong with an object usually did. You know your child. Give your daughter as much freedom to explore as she is safely capable of.
Let her join in with your activities as much as possible, even if it takes you longer to complete. Some 18 month-olds can slice a banana (or try, safely). They can "fold" laundry and play alongside. They can sweep and play with wood scraps, they can "help" set up tents and play with kindling on the side, making their own "fire". They can dig alongside in the garden, they can plant seeds and plants (with some adult follow up) or play alongside. They are capable of so much beyond 100% safe toys made age-appropriately for 18 month-olds. The landscape for toys for toddlers is really quite bleak if you think about it.
Speaking of Montessori, For Small Hands has a great catalog of child-sized, real tools and other great toys and books. I love this company, even though I don't follow the Montessori style. Many kids love to have something "real", real tools to do real work, toddler-style.
"She is a mermaid, but approach her with caution. Her mind swims at a depth most would drown in."
Yes, to add. We didn't exactly montessorise the house but we worked on those lines. What we did was to make it possible for our kids to access as much adult stuff as possible. So giving them stools to reach real counters, having a space at the table the rest of us draw at, and a high chair that they could themselves climb into. My kids did always use real, sharp, small knives but that's very personal.
OTOH to add something else. I had a 22 month gap between my first two, and just over two years between my second and third. There was no homeschooling going on for a very long time.(well I'd say they were way too little but regardless) What actually happens in most houses as far as I can see is that the TV goes on a lot. We didn't have a TV and yet we found ways to watch dvds. Also, audiobooks. It was a sanity thing. Don't beat yourself up if, like most parents, you end up in a period of downtime before and after the baby is born. That really is life and I am personally very glad we slowed down and got to know each other as a family rather than worrying about education. There is so much time ahead for your daughter's education!

It's a paradox that playing sports is supposed to be good for you, and yet some people die as a result of playing them, says Rob Hughes of the International Herald Tribune. Indeed, FC Sevilla's Antonio Puerta was not the first soccer player to die from cardiac arrest while playing; he wasn't even the only player this week to collapse from on-field heart complications. On Tuesday, hours after Puerta's life support system was shut down, Leicester City defender Clive Clarke collapsed in his dressing room at halftime during a Carling Cup match against Nottingham Forrest. Clarke survived, however, as paramedics were able to revive his heart.
Meanwhile, in Israel, 26-year-old Zambian Chaswe Nsofwa fell dead while training in 104 degree weather with his club, Hapoel Beersheva.
And two days before Puerta's fatal collapse, Anton Reid, a first-year player with English club Walsall, collapsed and fell dead of as yet unknown causes.
Not to start a scare or anything,
but these cases show that heart failure among players does occur-mostly among those with undiscovered heart problems. As a result, FIFA's chief medical officer on Wednesday called for mandatory
cardiac screening throughout the sport, a measure that will likely be passed in light of the recent spate of heart attacks.

On any given Sunday, in clear waters North of Sydney's Harbour Bridge, you might spot a blue-skinned motor yacht with polished teak trimming and
The 42-foot Sabre is a $700,000 piece of engineering that sleeps a world away from where Morrow started life: the broken east side of San Francisco and trailer parks of California, where the American dream lives more in fiction than reality.
But to hear it told by the man sent south to steer the sinking Vodafone Hutchison Australia network back from the brink of bankruptcy, his is a story of success – driven by a love of achieving the impossible and a fear of being too poor to feed himself.
"So many people write off these things as impossible," he says. "The reward you get out of doing something like this is far greater than just getting into big organisations and keeping the status quo."
In spite of his optimism, to say Morrow's latest task is a challenge would be an understatement. Vodafone's meltdown in 2011 was so dramatic that it changed the fabric of Australia's telco industry.
In July, it revealed 551,000 users had left the network in the six months ended June 30 alone. Since mid-2011,
To Ovum research analyst
"Telstra is investing way above historic norms in its mobile networks and Optus is about to launch a big play with [4G] and it's got a lot of spectrum," Kennedy says.
"The physical work of fixing the network won't be finished till 2014 . . . and after that it'll take at least two to three years to fix the broken brand image.
"So Vodafone isn't going to match Telstra, it probably won't be able to match Optus . . . and the best they can aim for is to be a profitable number three."
More pain to come: analyst
Citigroup analyst
But the American executive, whose turnaround nous is so renowned that NBN Co's head-hunters tried to hire him as a replacement for Mike Quigley, says he relishes the challenge of climbing back to profitability.
Much of Morrow's nature was forged in the slums of San Francisco. He was the youngest of eight in a family with no social net to catch them when his father died – two years after his birth.
"We literally had no money, so my mother worked two jobs and I'd get up at five in the morning, go with her to open up the café that was the first part of her job and before she went in to the fields to cut cauliflower," he says. "You wouldn't go out at night and a couple of times I did with my friends I got attacked.
"There are friends that I had who are dead through very unfortunate situations. One overdosed on drugs and alcohol and another one got caught up in a bad situation."
However, like most young children Morrow had no clue he was poor – only that none of his neighbours were white. So he played with Charlie the Hawaiian kid who was his age and was raised by Mexican neighbours who lived as his mother did – from pay cheque to pay cheque.
"I thought for a while my nickname was 'Mi Hijo'," he laughs. "But Mi Hijo is just Spanish "little boy" . . . and they were just saying 'hey, little boy, come over here'.
"But I'll tell you I never regretted it and I was absolutely loved. It was hard work, it was doing right by others and my mother had some really strong values and many of those were social – you treated people like you wanted to be treated."
After moving to a trailer park with his mother at the age of 15, the future CEO took odd jobs to help pay his way through high school, hitchhiking back to visit friends in the city. With classmates sporting better possessions, he realised for the first time he was poor.
Long climb to the top
"I don't fear poverty – I fear not being able to watch out for myself," he says. "So people who fear losing the roof over their head touch a sensitive spot for me because I never want to go back to that either.
"A friend of mine named Randy said 'you're going to join the Navy with me', and at the time if you did four years they paid for your education.
"At that point I was washing dishes for a job, so I thought 'shit, I have no choice, I have to do it'. That was a month after I turned 17."
From there he trained to be a marksman. Few other CEOs can quickly change gears to discuss China's new broadband strategy one minute and their choice of pistol the next (he prefers a Colt M1911 for its stopping power).
Once educated, it was a choice between using his engineering and business degrees, with Morrow picking the latter – mostly because he thought it would make him more "marketable".
It was the right decision. Morrow has developed a love and reputation for turning third-rate companies and broken spirits into winning telcos ready for sale – so much so that he readily admits most of his money comes from the bonuses he earns once a company is on the mend rather than his salary.
Set to take on a senior role at Vodafone in Europe, Morrow's meeting with a panicked human resources manager facing disaster in Australia convinced him to take on the top job in Sydney.
When asked about the challenges of running a damaged brand against a winning Telstra, Morrow remains undaunted and points back to his time as head of Japan Telecom. Vodafone's then-CEO Chris Gent was focused on turning the group into a mobile powerhouse, leaving fixed-line subsidiaries in the doghouse.
"Suddenly I became a stepchild [and] they didn't want anything to do with me . . . and they wouldn't let me get any more money or the people I knew across Vodafone," he says.
"So I got delivered what many would consider a B team, maybe even a C+ team, and I believed in these people enough to where we decided to make something of this."
In the face of Vodafone's apathy and tough competition, he slashed and moulded Japan Telecom from a wreck to a saleable asset.
'Secret sauce' holds the key
Morrow claims much of the success was down to the "secret sauce" he developed growing up with nothing to his name – an ability to manage without arrogance and make even the lowest-level employee feel as though they're part of something special.
"I believe more in them than what people do themselves, because I've seen what I've done personally in my own life," he says. "Don't write me off because I come from the east side of a city that was incredibly poor, crime-ridden and where people barely finished high school let alone did anything with their career ambition or personal goals."
Morrow's approach of capitalist equality is also one he brings to his colleagues. He relates the story of a near-perfect job candidate he once interviewed.
Through two stages, the Ivy League university graduate knew all the answers and ticked every box – so much so the Vodafone executive almost hired him without applying his standard third and final test.
But old habits die hard, so, as a precaution, he slyly watched how the would-be manager interacted with serving staff over lunch at a seaside cafe. When their waitress made a mistake with a dish, the executive reacted badly – she lost out on a tip while he lost out on a job offer.
"How you treat people and how you see yourself relative to those others is really important," Morrow says. "We had a call centre in Las Vegas, Nevada where the staff made about $20-30,000 per year, and they really just worked pay cheque to pay cheque.
"If you take some guy that's going to come in and make a half-million dollars a year . . . and they lead with a 'this is my position and you do as I say', almost king-like fashion, it just doesn't work."
Drive comes at personal cost
But the work has come at a personal cost for the American executive, whose job as the telco industry's Mr Fix-It has seen him parachuted from London and Brussels to Tokyo and now Sydney. He recalls returning from the office to find Japanese journalists sipping tea in his lounge, having harried his former wife at their home.
"Divorces happen for lots of different reasons, so I wouldn't necessarily say it's just because I worked hard, but I attribute a part of it to the fact that you pour yourself into it and you want to see what you're capable of," Morrow says. "You've got all of these employees and shareholders relying on you and customers that are depending on you making sure systems are run.
"You feel like that's your daily focus and at times I put my family in second priority against that."
Morrow's ability to hold a laser-like focus on slashing costs while getting the staff who survive to believe in the cause will be vital for Vodafone's survival in Australia. But it's a journey Ovum's Kennedy says is on track under the industry veteran.
"They recently announced new capped roaming plans and it showed the old dog could still have new tricks," he says. "For the first time in ages, Vodafone wasn't on the back foot and they did something to lead the market.
"They'll need a series of these kinds of marketing announcements over the next 12 to 18 months to make people think again about the company . . . and their network had better be ready."
Flying home above the Tasman from a product launch in New Zealand, Morrow alternates between staring out the window and laughing loudly with senior staff. Soon he'll be back amongst the boats he loves and the clear, cold waters of Sydney's coves.
Where other sailors worship the fickle wind and its power to propel them across the seas, the Vodafone chief sees it as just another puzzle to be beaten into submission on weekends.
"The thing with boats is geometry [and] I really get a kick out of it," he grins, adding that you can tell a lot about a man from his boat. "The wind moves you in one direction, the currents move you in another and you've got this big beast of a thing in the water.
"So you do a lot of judgment math in your head to avoid crashing – it's all about control."

I make a stop at the original Dinosaur's each time I am in Syracuse. Really amazing food. Even though the other locations are great, there is no experience like getting some delicious ribs and chicken from this location. Parking can be a little crazy, but if you wait just a little you can usually get a spot. The food is amazing. I usually get the big ass pork plate...sooo good. Last time I went I got the Breast + Wing + Ribs for $12.95. It comes with two sides (always always get the mac and cheese, it is amazing). Two of us shared and ate the entire thing. THE ENTIRE THING. I felt not a pang of guilt, the stuff is worth every calorie consumed. Can't wait for my next 5 hour drive to Dinosaur BBQ.

Reviews forButtercream Frosting
My Review
Average Rating
"This is very easy to make and just delicious."
"This and similar frostings are good if you don't have a stand mixer, and don't feel the need to own one, because you don't have to beat them a lot. Plus the taste is decent enough, although it is a little on the sweet side."
"You can add popcorn salt to cut down on the sweetness"
"The four simple ingredients used in this recipe create a delicious buttercream frosting. I did sub in almond milk for the regular milk."
"Perhaps I should not have been surprised how much confectioners' sugar cake frosting uses, but I was. I was pleased with the recipe, though. I used the frosting on a pumpkin-spice cake, and they complimented each other. My dad pined that it tasted too sweet, probably because he rarely likes cake. I loved the taste, though--it certainly beats any store-bought frosting. Every cake lover will adore this frosting."
"I love how easy to it make..."
"I am new to baking, cooking, and, all the above... This is a simple, yet, wonderfully sweet recipe. I really really enjoyed it! I usually will only eat wiped cream frosting; now this will be added to the list of edible cupcake/cake frostings. As for how I prepared this frosting I cut the recipe in half; I only used 3 cups of confections' sugar. In addition, I only needed to use 1/3 cup milk. Hope this helps!"
"This is very sweet and makes a lot of frosting. I made half a recipe and had plenty for a 9X13 pan."
"This is my stand-by buttercream frosting! I use it every time and this freezes excellent as well! Hardly no measuring ..... half a block of butter and a bag of icing sugar (1kg) plus 2 cups awesome good and fast!"

Regulations Part 46 (45 CFR 46), require at Section 46.109(e) that "an IRB shall conduct
continuing review covered by this policy at intervals appropriate to the degree of risk, but not less
than once per year... ."
Continuing review must be substantive and meaningful. Review by the convened IRB, with
recorded vote, is required unless the research is otherwise appropriate for expedited review under
Section 46.110. Ordinarily, if research did not qualify for expedited review at the time of initial
review, it does not qualify for expedited review at the time of continuing review. It is also
possible that research activities that were previously judged as exempt in accordance with Section
46.101(b), or were qualified for expedited review in accordance with Section 46.110, have
changed or will change, such that other than expedited IRB review is now required.
OPRR interprets "not less than once per year" review to mean review on or before the
1-year anniversary date of the previous IRB review required by 45 CFR 46, even though
the research activity may not begin until some time after the IRB has given approval.
The regulations at 45 CFR 46 outline the minimum requirements for continuing review. They do
not provide specific instructions to institutions or IRBs on how to set up their own rules for
continuing review within the framework of the regulations. To ensure adequate protection of the
rights and welfare of research subjects, institutions and IRBs may impose greater or more detailed
standards of protection for human subjects depending upon the nature or location of the study,
the degree of risk involved to the subject population, and other factors.
Investigators must also report to the IRB planned changes in the conduct of the study, since
these may affect the protection of human subjects. Minor changes proposed for previously
approved research may be reviewed in an expedited manner prior to the scheduled continuing
review date in accordance with Section 46.110. When a proposed change in a research study is
not minor, then the IRB must review and approve changes at a convened.meeting before changes can be implemented. The only exception is the rare circumstance in
which a change is necessary to eliminate apparent immediate hazards to the research subjects. In
this case, the IRB should be promptly informed of the change following its implementation and
should review the change to determine that it is consistent with protection of human subjects.
Unanticipated risks to subjects or new information that may affect the risk/benefit assessment
must be promptly reported to, and reviewed by, the IRB to ensure adequate protection of human
The regulations at Section 46.111 set forth the criteria to be satisfied if an IRB is to approve
research. These include determinations by the IRB regarding risks, potential benefits, informed
consent, and safeguards for human subjects. The review criteria at Section 46.111 are a
requirement during continuing review just as they are in initial review.
In conducting continuing review, the IRB should review, at a minimum, the protocol and any amendments as well as a status report on the progress of the research, including (a) the number of subjects accrued; (b) a description of any: adverse events or unanticipated problems involving risks to subjects or others, withdrawal of subjects from the research, or complaints about the research; a summary of any recent literature, findings, or other relevant information, especially information about risks associated with the research; and (d) a copy of the current informed consent document. Primary reviewer systems may be employed, so long as the full IRB receives the above information. Primary reviewers should also receive a copy of the complete protocol including any modifications previously approved by the IRB.
Review of the currently approved consent document must ensure that the information is still
accurate and complete. Any significant new findings that may relate to the subject's willingness to
continue participation should be provided to the subject in accordance with Section 46.116(b)(5).
Review of currently approved or proposed consent documents must occur during the scheduled
continuing review of research by the IRB, but may be done more frequently if new information
becomes available.
Institutions must make investigators aware of the IRB's policies and procedures concerning
reporting and continuing review requirements. The IRB's written procedures pertaining to
continuing review should be distributed throughout the institution to ensure that all those involved
in research activities understand their individual responsibilities.
In summary, in approving the continuation of ongoing research, an IRB attests to its satisfaction
that the research continues to be conducted in accord with all relevant provisions of 45
CFR 46. Please examine your institutional and IRB practices to ensure this.

The fat comedian plans to do 'push-ups, sit-ups, and a strict diet of... raisins' to achieve his goal.
Comedian Jack Black has set himself a hefty goal for 2011 - he wants to shed 50 pounds (22.68 kilograms) of his body weight. "The School of Rock" actor wants to embark on the New Year leaner and fitter than ever before and he's ready to begin a vigorous exercise and diet regime to slim down.
The rounded actor tells U.S. news show Access Hollywood, "I'm gonna drop 50 pounds. Push-ups, sit-ups, and a strict diet of... raisins! That's my plan."
In another news, Jack Black reveals he refuses to turn his film premieres into family affairs, because his two young sons have no idea they have a famous father. He admits he's yet to tell four-year-old Sammy and Thomas, two, exactly what he does for a living - and he's keen to keep it that way.
Speaking at the Los Angeles premiere of his new movie "Gulliver's Travels", he tells Access Hollywood, "I didn't bring my babies because they don't know I'm famous yet. I'm trying to keep it well-hid. They're like, 'Whatever. Daddy's Daddy.' They think I'm a salesman."
Black isn't the only celebrity parent keeping his star status under wraps from his little ones - the comedian's "Shallow Hal" co-star Gwyneth Paltrow recently admitted she had been hiding her profession from her two children, until her six-year-old daughter Apple found out she was famous from her classmates.

CHARLOTTETOWN – The Nova Scotia Keltics dominated the Eastern Canadian rugby championships here over the weekend.
Nova Scotia teams won four championships – under-18 girls, under-18 boys, under-20 women and senior women.
Overall, 19 teams from six provinces competed over three days.
"To win all divisions and drop only one game in the entire tournament is truly special," said Nova Scotia provincial coach Jack Hanratty. "The hard work put in by the players, coaches, managers and clubs was truly rewarded today (Sunday), and I am excited for the future of rugby in this province."
Following is a look at the finals:
Under-20 women
Nova Scotia scored seven trys and added two converts in a dominating 41-0 victory over P.E.I. Alyssa Canning and Tanisha Campbell, both of Pictou County RFC, were the top point-getters for Nova Scotia.
Senior women
Nova Scotia showed some nerves at the start of the game, but settled in to shut out Newfoundland and Labrador 17-0 in a rematch of last year's final.
Erin Beazley (Valley Bulldogs) and Mandy Wells (Halifax Tars) were the game's top scorers.
Under-18 boys
The Keltics, who have struggled to compete with New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador at this age level, emerged as gold-medallists. The final score against New Brunswick was 14-5.
A great individual effort from Cooper Coates (Halifax Tars) in the opening minutes of the game got the Keltics off to a strong start. Coates would also add two converts in the match.
Under-18 girls
A strong defence keyed Nova Scotia's hard-fought 7-3 win over Eastern Ontario.
The Kelts opened the scoring on a well-taken try from Catherine Rutledge (Halifax RFC), and Eastern Ontario connected on a penalty kick before halftime to close the gap to 7-3.
The Keltics dominated the first 15 minutes of the second half, but were unable to score. Eastern Ontario pressed hard in the last few minutes, but Nova Scotia's defence remained strong.

Modern observation technology has verified that measurement errors can be proportional to the true values of measurements such as GPS, VLBI baselines and LiDAR. Observational models of this type are called multiplicative error models. This paper is to extend the work of Xu and Shimada published in 2000 on multiplicative error models to analytical error analysis of quantities of practical interest and estimates of the variance of unit weight. We analytically derive the variance-covariance matrices of the three least squares (LS) adjustments, the adjusted measurements and the corrections of measurements in multiplicative error models. For quality evaluation, we construct five estimators for the variance of unit weight in association of the three LS adjustment methods. Although LiDAR measurements are contaminated with multiplicative random errors, LiDAR-based digital elevation models (DEM) have been constructed as if they were of additive random errors. We will simulate a model landslide, which is assumed to be surveyed with LiDAR, and investigate the effect of LiDAR-type multiplicative error measurements on DEM construction and its effect on the estimate of landslide mass volume from the constructed DEM.
Theory and methods of adjustment have been developed, both with the advance of measurement technology and with our deepened understanding of measurement errors. Although manufacturers of surveying instruments would always provide accuracy specifications [
Almost all theory and methods of adjustment have been developed on the basis of the following mathematical or functional model:
The observational model
A digital elevation model (DEM) is a numerical or digital representation of the topography of the Earth. A number of mathematical interpolators have been proposed for the construction of a DEM on the (implicit) assumption that the measurements are contaminated with additive random errors (see e.g., [
Although the errors of GPS, EDM and VLBI baselines and measurements of InSAR and LiDAR have been shown to be of multiplicative nature, almost nothing can be found in the geodetic and DEM literature, except for Xu
As in the case of adjustment with additive random errors, given a set of measurements with multiplicative errors, we have the corresponding adjustment model as follows:
When the ordinary LS method is applied to the linear model
If the random errors
As a result of

We should note that formula

By using the ordinary LS estimate
In the similar manner, based on the weighted LS estimate and the bias-corrected weighted LS estimate and by using the formulae
As is well known, the corrections of measurements are important quantities in practical data processing and quality assessment/control. We denote the corrections of measurements as follows:
By linearizing
Because the weighted LS estimate is biased, the corresponding corrections of measurements should also be biased. The bias of
In practical data processing, we are also interested in computing the cross-covariance matrices of the original measurements, the estimated parameters, the adjusted measurements and the corrections of measurements. With the three LS-based methods in hand, if we follow the above lines of thought for the variance-covariance matrices of these quantities, we can then easily derive and obtain their covariances. If we further limit ourselves to the linear approximation in terms of the random errors
The variance of unit weight is one of the most important quantities in statistical quality evaluation and hypothesis testing. Since the measurements are not equally weighted, the conventional estimator of the variance of unit weight by using the ordinary LS residuals of measurements and the redundant number of (
From the formula
If we use the weighted sum of square of the corrections of measurements in
For the weighted LS and bias-corrected weighted LS methods, if the bias of the weighted LS estimate is not significant, both methods should lead to almost the same estimates of the variance of unit weight. In the similar manner to the derivation of the estimate of the variance of unit weight in association with the ordinary LS method, we can readily use
DEM has been playing an increasing role in hazard assessment (see e.g., [
In this section, we will follow the website
To start with the simulation, we first assume a simple mountain of trapezoidal prism, with a slope of 50°, a height of 700 m and the length of 500 m. We then assume that a landslide occurs along the slope of the mountain, say due to a large earthquake. The design of landslide examples may be illustrated in
We now assume that DEMs are constructed by using airborne LiDAR before and after the landslide occurs, respectively. The height of flight is fixed at 900 m and the trajectory of the flight is assumed to be free of errors. For simplicity of simulation, we may also assume that the slope plane
With the simulated LiDAR data at hand, we can then estimate the surface

In order to evaluate the errors of the estimated volume by each of the three methods, we apply the results of error analysis in Section 3 and the estimates of variance of unit weight in Section 4 to the estimate of volume
More precisely, to estimate the accuracy of the estimated volume of the landslide, we first estimate the variance of unit weight by using
Adjustment has been founded on the basis of observational models with additive random errors to process data in geoscience. The most important feature of an observational model with additive errors is that random errors do not change with the size of a signal or a measurement. However, with the advance of modern space observation technology, we realize that some of random errors change with the sizes of measurements, which may be attributed to the random nature of physical media along the path of observation. For example, GPS, VLBI and EDM baselines, InSAR and LiDAR measurements all show the feature of multiplicative random errors in the sense that their accuracy always contains one term that is proportional to the length of the baseline or the strength of signal. Theoretically speaking, the theory and methods developed on the basis of observational models with additive errors cannot meet the need of models with multiplicative errors. New theory and methods have to be developed accordingly. Xu and Shimada [

Do we remember? Must we remember?
The Hamilton Spectator
Tuesday, September 6, 2011
Do you still get nervous when Sept. 11 approaches?
This year will mark the 10th anniversary of the morning that we all remember what we were doing and where we were when we heard the news a plane had crashed into the World Trade Center.
It was 8:46 a.m. on that Tuesday morning when the first plane hit the first tower. At the time there was no raw footage of a craft actually hitting the tower; that would come later, over and over again.
As live cameras watched, no reporter was quick to speculate at the time this was anything more than a terrible accident.
That was about to change. With the world focused on the first strike and resulting burning building, we all watched in horror on live TV as a second passenger jet plowed into the second tower at 9:03 a.m.
It was a scene out of a Hollywood movie, happening live, right before our eyes. There was now little doubt this was not an accident.
This horror wouldn't stop. By 9:37 a.m. terror struck again, when an American Airlines jet with 59 on board was crashed into the Pentagon.
A fourth jet, which was seized at the same time as the previous three, was crashed into a field near Shanksville, Pa. Flight recorders told the story of a heroic crew and passengers who tried to storm the cockpit to regain control of the aircraft.
The passengers on United Airlines Flight 93 had learned through cabin cellphones what had happened to other airliners and decided to try to save their own lives and those on the ground. When the hijackers realized they might lose control of the plane, one ordered another to roll the jet and intentionally crash it. Lives were saved by those actions as it is believed their target was to be either the Capitol or White House.
All U.S. domestic aircraft were grounded. Those in the air were ordered to land immediately at the closest facility. International flights were turned back or sent to airports in Mexico or Canada.
By the time the day's terrorism ended, almost 3,000 lives were lost in the first attack on continental U.S. soil.
In the minutes and hours that followed the attacks, images began to surface of the destruction.
People were literally falling out of the sky, jumping from the fiery infernos. As the twin towers tumbled, clouds of smoke and debris engulfed city streets and anyone in their path like a tsunami.
Panicked morning workers ran from the downtown core like branded cattle, covering their faces with anything they could to avoid breathing in the deadly fog.
The images of the planes hitting their targets were replayed over and over until we had seen enough. Finally networks agreed to stop showing the points of impact out of respect for those lost in the attack.
Oddly enough, those images, which have rarely been played in the 10 years since 9/11, are now making their way back into mainstream media.
TV critic Bill Brioux (TVFeedsMyFamily.com) agrees, sarcastically saying, "The 9/11 Olympics have begun and will run all week."
But are we ready to forget? Are we ready to view those impact images again? Is 10 years the benchmark that suggests there's been enough respect for the dead, that this is now a historic event and should be viewed as such?
I have a hard time believing we'll consume this event now as if viewing the Hindenburg tragedy. The wound is easily reopened after watching this event unfold again on the internet, let alone mainstream TV.
Yet a survey released last week by Harris Decima reveals almost 40 per cent of respondents feel safer flying today then before 9/11 and a majority feel just as safe as they did before the attacks. Two thirds say they are flying just as much as they did pre-9/11 with 10 per cent flying more, proving security measures put in place have restored the public's sense of safety.
However, not enough for me to take my mind off the fact our 23-year-old niece will be flying this Sept. 11.

Joseph Henry Room · 12:00 p.m.– 1:00 p.m.
Condensed Matter Seminar, Oleg Tchernyshyov, Z_2 spin liquid in the Heisenberg antiferromagnet on kagome
A spin liquid is a hypothetical quantum ground state of a frustrated Heisenberg magnet conjectured by P.W. Anderson in the 1970s. Its distinguishing features are (1) a lack of magnetic order and (2) a degeneracy that depends on the topology of the system. The status of spin liquids has been recently upgraded from purely speculative to plausible as these ground states were found in relatively simple two-dimensional spin models on square and kagome lattices. Experiments with herbertsmithite yielded clues of spin excitations with fractional spin 1/2 in a kagome antiferromagnet.
I will present a phenomenological Z_2 lattice gauge theory that describes low-energy properties of the spin liquid in a S=1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet on kagome. It reproduces many of the characteristic features observed in recent numerical studies of the model, including the ground-state degeneracy, response to quenched disorder, and spinon states near the system's edge.

NFL notebook: Heyward-Bey back at practice for Raiders
Raiders wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey practiced for the first time Tuesday since being hospitalized by a helmet-to-helmet hit against the Steelers.
Heyward-Bey took part in individual drills, running some routes and catching some passes in his first step back.
"We're kind of at that stage, just trying to take the necessary steps," he said. "We've got a plan for me, and today was step No. 1. And I feel pretty good."
Heyward-Bey was knocked unconscious Sept. 23 by a helmet-to-helmet hit in the end zone from Steelers safety Ryan Mundy. Heyward-Bey appeared to be knocked out by the hit. He then crashed to the turf headfirst, and his neck twisted awkwardly. He was taken to the hospital for a concussion and sprained neck.
Dolphins sign Gaffney
Wide receiver Jabar Gaffney signed with the Dolphins, who terminated the contract of receiver Legedu Naanee.
Gaffney, 31, had the best season of his career last year with the Redskins, then signed with the Patriots and was released at the end of training camp. He tried out a month ago with the Dolphins, who have been plagued by poor depth at the receiver spot.
Gaffney, who is in his 11th season, had 68 catches for 947 yards and five scores last year. Naanee made only one catch this season.
Jets ink Hilliard
The Jets signed fullback Lex Hilliard and waived wide receiver Patrick Turner.
Hilliard was a sixth-round pick of the Dolphins in 2008 and played under current Jets offensive coordinator Tony Sparano when he was Miami's head coach. The signing gives the Jets depth at fullback with John Conner possibly unavailable Monday night against Houston because of a hamstring injury.
Hilliard has rushed for 130 yards and two touchdowns and caught 26 passes for 210 yards and two touchdowns in 48 NFL games. He spent the summer with the Vikings before being cut and signed with the Patriots in September but was waived two weeks later.
Cutler back to normal?
The Bears' offense appears to be back in sync, even if the same might not be true of quarterback Jay Cutler and his offensive coordinator.
Cutler played one of his most impressive games in his career Monday night in beating the Dallas Cowboys, 34-18, connecting on 18 of 24 passes for 275 yards and two touchdowns.
Even after posting his third-highest career passer rating (140.1), a lot of the postgame attention was again focused on Cutler's sideline behavior.
Cutler at one point sat down on the bench after he obviously had been irritated by confusion on the field regarding a play call the previous series. When offensive coordinator Mike Tice sat down next to him and began talking, Cutler stood up and walked away.
"I don't have to sit by him the whole game, do I?" Cutler said afterward. Then, he accused media members of trying to sell newspapers and asked, "What are we looking for here?"
Told it appeared he'd snubbed his coach, Cutler said, "Just because I walk off and go and get water, it doesn't mean much."
Unitas' son sends Brees letter
With Drew Brees in position to break Hall of Fame quarterback Johnny Unitas' record for consecutive games with a touchdown pass, Unitas' son sent words of encouragement to the Saints quarterback.
A letter from Joe Unitas, which the Saints posted on a team website, congratulates Brees for tying the record of 47 straight games last weekend in Green Bay.
Joe Unitas said he's a big fan of Brees and wishes him the best Sunday night against San Diego. Joe Unitas said he knows his late father, who set the record between 1956-60, would want Brees to break it.
