Competitive Effects Of It Innovation On Bank Strategy, 1985-1995
Through case study research this paper illustrates opportunities presented by IT-based technological change in British retail bank markets (1985-1995). For the managers of the Royal Bank of Scotland IT appeared to lower entry barriers, exit barriers and deliver high sustainability of competitive advantage. The strategic intent behind diversification patterns of the Royal Bank of Scotland suggested competitive considerations were at a premium because unsolicited take-over bids in the early 1980s put pressure on managers to create growth opportunities. Direct Line Insurance was a subsidiary from the Royal Bank of Scotland. Direct Line was also the first retail finance institution to establish a clear competitive advantage based on information technology. The success of Direct Line enabled an increase in the market share of British retail financial services of The Royal Bank of Scotland. Direct Line is a case of planned success that questions the extent to which banks' competencies must change to master alternative delivery channels. The success of Direct Line also suggested more effective execution than other activities explored by managers of the Royal Bank of Scotland.

Niall Horan Hangs Out With John Mayer + Begs Fans to Stop Calling His Hotel Room [PHOTO]
Niall Horan of One Direction had a lot of conflicting emotions this week. Not only were he and his bandmates nominated for a bunch of MTV Video Music Awards, but he also got to hang out with his idol, John Mayer — and he was also disturbed in his sleep by eager Directioners.
Horan posted the above photo of himself and the 'Paradise Valley' crooner after one of Mayer's shows. Mayer gifted Nialler with a signed guitar, and the 'Best Song Ever' heartthrob couldn't stop gushing, writing, "Met the best guitarist of our generation last night, unbelievable musician, great guy! After 'Gravity' he walked over handed me this, legend! One of those moments."
So sweet! And maybe it's the least Horan can do since he did smooch Mayer's lady, Katy Perry, at last year's VMAs.
Something that made Horan a little less than happy? Fans calling up his hotel room and waking him up! The ever-cheery Irishman tweeted his frustration, but tried to make it clear that he wasn't actually upset — just sleepy.
Hi , girls who are calling my room, I love you lots , i get what you're doing! It's all fun! Can It wait, I'm sleeping after long day!Thanks
— Niall Horan (@NiallOfficial) August 25, 2013
That reads like I'm complaining ! I'm not! Sorry !

Gotta love his positive outlook, right?

The FCBOE met today and determined that True the Vote had likely falsified the forms submitted for general election observers. The new observer forms, filed over the past few days by True the Vote representative (and Hilliard Tea Party Member) Jan Loar, used candidate signatures copied from a previous set of forms filed in early October
All but one of the six candidates whose names appeared on the original form had withdrawn permission to use their signatures prior to the submission of today's forms. During the BOE meeting Candidate Terri Jamison spoke up to say her name was "forged" on the latest round of forms.
The form for appointing observers reads 'election falsification is a 5th degree felony'. Election officials have confirmed that there will be a post-election investigation of True the Vote.
The forms have been rejected unanimously by all members (Rs and Ds) on the board. True the Vote observers will not be allowed in Franklin County polling locations tomorrow.
Gee, yet another Republican attempt at election fraud. This is my surprised face :-|
UPDATE: I'm happy to observe that the scumbags of True The Vote failed completely in their ambitions to derail a legitimate second term for Barack Obama.

Petanque: C'est si bon
Well, that is about the extent of French I know. But in a Franco-American community like Augusta, you do pick up a few things along the way. For example, I know a little bit about Mill Park Petanque. You say it "pay-tonk". According to Petanque America, the game was created about a hundred years ago in the south of France and is a cross between the Italian bowling game Boccee and horseshoes.

Our multi-purpose recreation
hall is used for exercise classes, bingo, numerous card and board
games during both day & even-
ings as well as bridge on M-W-F afternoons. Serves as host to Xmas & Thanksgiving dinners, a monthly birthday party with cake and ice cream and a weekly pot-luck supper every Wednesday. There are special dinners like a Brisket Dinner, Chili Cook-offs, Spaghetti Supper and a Corned Beef on St. Patrick's Day. Sunday the hall is host to non-denominat ional church services at 9:30 and 4:30 as well as a 2 hour musical
jamb session just after lunch.
Of course there is an occasional evening dance for those who like to kick up their heals. And there is also our New Years party and dance. When the park gathers enough spunky extroverted talent, we sometimes have a truly wonderful dinner followed by a delightfully funny performance as our current customer's talent can produce.
We must mention our really great billiard hall equipped with both 8-ball and snooker tables. It is also home to some poker tables. (for those who like to play just for fun
of course
) It also serves as a morning coffee den for the fellows along about 5 am in the morning to kick start their motors. It is also has a restroom for those who want that second or third cup.
, but we do reserve this hall one night a week for a
for the girls! We do want you to have a place to sleep each night and it keeps a smile on the little ladies faces.
The recreation hall is also home to a 8 washer/dryer laundry room. It also has men's and women's full bathing facilities for those with small units not equipped to handle your daily needs.
We have three outstanding covered (glass beaded) shuffle board courts as well as two horse shoe courts for those that can not find something less useful do.

If you are not inclined to go fishing, there are plenty of things for you to enjoy. The girls are always coming up with great things to do besides play cards, board games, exercise classes and such. These ladies get into all kinds of crafts from sewing, quilting, painting, ceramics and horticulture projects. If you can't think of something new to do, just say so and about a hundred or more ladies will surely help you find a new talent you didn't know you had. One note of caution,
do not
be near the parks entry gate on Friday and Saturdays mornings. There are some serious lady garage salers here and you know how they hate to miss a sale. Then there is Laredo TX just fifty miles northwest of here that has tremendously wonderful stores to shop in as well as looking for purses, shoes and clothes in the street shops in old town Laredo.
Still not enough? Well the "Valley" (meaning McAllen, Donna, Mercedes TX and others) is just a 85 miles or so trip to the southeast of here that brings a new meaning to the word shopping. Hubby doesn't want to go! No problem, the ladies here have no problem taking off on their own. Besides, who wants a pesky husband along, only to start whining about going back home after only an hour in one store for crying out loud. If this shopping information frenzy hasn't wet your whistle, try a couple of the local margaritas on for size to sooth the jangled nerves. Anyway, I think you are beginning to get the idea, this isn't just a guy place for the fellows. Come join the Liberated ladies of the Zapata Red Hat Society on one Wednesday each month. That is a memory day for the book every time, these ladies know how to have fun. So come on down and join in the fun in the sun that south Texas provides all winter long...............

The 5-6 market leader was made to work for victory in a close finish, with Sweet Lilly (15-2) in second.
It was the eighth Musidora victory in the career of Newmarket-based Cecil.
The ten-times champion trainer, who revealed in February he has stomach cancer, will seek a seventh Epsom Oaks win on 1 June with Passage of Time.
Winning jockey Richard Hughes brought his mount to challenge with two furlongs to go in the feature race on the first day of York's Dante meeting.
Sweet Lilly pushed all the way, before Passage of Time prevailed by a neck.
Bookmakers reacted by cutting the odds on Cecil's charge winning the Oaks from a general 3-1 to 9-4.
"I have trained her for the Oaks and hopefully, now she's had a race she'll come right. I thought she just needed the race," said Cecil.
He won the Cheshire Oaks at Chester a week earlier with Light Shift.
Cecil's last Classic success came in 2000 when Love Divine landed the Epsom Oaks.

Those who knew Paul Beeson, MD - legendary clinician, researcher, teacher, academic leader, editor of seminal medical texts, editor-in-chief of the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, and a founding father of geriatrics -recall his brilliance, dedication, integrity, compassion and commitment, but acknowledge that these strengths alone don't adequately convey the greatness of the man, who died this past summer at 97.
"Many of us who knew him well have spent many hours trying to figure out his mystique; it's not easily conveyed in words," says Fred S. Kantor, M.D., who was a resident and fellow under Dr. Beeson at Yale University School of Medicine during the 1960s and is now Paul B. Beeson Professor of Medicine at Yale. "There was something that he had and it was integrity and compassion and a sense of wanting to get it right - not get it done - but get it done right. There was this tremendous sense of caring, of responsibility to his patients, students, residents, interns and fellows, and this responsibility, as it turned out later, to the community, particularly the aging community."
Beeson made many key contributions to geriatrics. In the late 70s, when the field was still in its infancy, he headed the Institute of Medicine's seminal 1978 study on aging and medical training. The study raised national awareness of the challenges posed by the aging of the US population and called, presciently, for increased physician training in geriatric medicine. That same year, he took the helm of the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, giving it and the field a considerable boost.
"He recognized early the importance of geriatrics and assumed editorship of the Journal in time to keep it and the field alive," recalls Daniel David Federman, MD, Carl W. Walter Distinguished Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, former dean for medical education at Harvard, and a past member of the AGS Board of Directors.
Beeson's contributions to geriatrics, however, came relatively late in what was a life of remarkable and continued accomplishment. Born in 1908, the son of a rural physician and surgeon, Beeson spent much of his early years in Montana and Alaska, when the latter was largely frontier. After graduating from the University of Washington and McGill University School of Medicine, he completed his internship at the University of Pennsylvania and got further training at New York Hospital, the clinical arm of Cornell University. From there, Beeson went to Rockefeller Institute, where he and colleagues were the first to demonstrate that fever is often a bodily response to infection, and to isolate the protein interleukin -1, identifying it as the agent provoking the response. This work, for which Beeson is best known, opened up an entirely new field of research concerning inflammation and immune responses to infection.
From Rockefeller, Beeson went on to become chief resident at Harvard's Peter Bent Brigham Hospital under the famed Soma Weiss, MD. During World War II, he was chief physician the Harvard-Red Cross Field Unit Hospital, which conducted epidemiology research. He also volunteered to work at the Harvard Cross Hospital in Salisbury, England. There Beeson met American Red Cross nurse Barbara Neal. They later married and had three children.
In 1942, Beeson joined the faculty at Emory University School of Medicine. He chaired the faculty from 1946 to 1952, when Yale recruited him to chair its department of internal medicine. Beeson's compassion for and connection with his patients, and his dedication to giving his all to do right by them, galvanized students, residents and fellows to "do better than they might otherwise do," says Kantor. Not surprisingly, many of students and residents Beeson helped train have are now renowned leaders in research and academic medicine.
"He engendered not only this incredible sense of awe, but also this incredible loyalty and fondness," Kantor adds, recollecting how Beeson and his wife never failed to send a gift when a resident or fellow married or had a child, and how they took the time, each year, to decorate a meeting room with evergreen boughs for the medical school Christmas party. "He was not your hail-fellow-well-met; he was somewhat distant, seemingly cool. But underneath that cool, composed exterior he was an extremely warm human being.""
Beeson remained at Yale until 1965, when he was appointed Nuffield Professor of Medicine at Oxford. The appointment, to one of the most prestigious academic medical positions in England, was an almost unheard-of honor for an American, notes Richard Rapport, MD, author of Physician: The Life of Paul Beeson. In 1973, Queen Elizabeth bestowed another honor on Beeson, making him an Honorary Knight Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire. (Though appreciative, Beeson, who had an enduring modesty, "never wanted to be addressed as "Sir Paul,"" Kantor recalls.)
The following year, Beeson returned to the states to accept an appointment at the University of Washington as Professor of Medicine and Distinguished Physician of the US Veterans Administration in Seattle. It was a turning point. Beeson "was distressed by the relative neglect of the teaching and practice of geriatrics in the US," compared with Britain, Gene H. Stollerman, MD, Professor of Medicine and Public Health, Emeritus, at Boston University, and Editor Emeritus of JAGS, writes in a tribute to Beeson.
Focusing increasingly on the care of older adults, Beeson found that while older people made up the most rapidly growing segment of the US population, many of their needs were unmet. "The aspect that is being slighted is a special characteristic of the needs of the elderly: the kind of continuing (lifetime) medical care required for people who have multiple, chronic progressive disabilities," he wrote.
Despite increasing medical specialization, Beeson had long extolled the importance of the generalist, the physician who could take a holistic approach to patient care. In geriatrics in particular, he recognized and emphasized the importance of such an approach. He also advocated interdisciplinary care and training, calling for "clinical training that included teaching of ambulatory care by sociologists, psychologists, economists and home nurses (and) argued that medical schools should affiliate with chronic care institutions," Rapport writes.
Overall, Beeson lobbied for stronger curricula in aging for medical students. Among other things, the IOM's 1978 "Aging in Medical Education" report included recommendations that all medical schools and teaching hospitals include curricula on aging. These recommendations, Rapport writes, paved the way for the "Teaching Nursing Home" projects the NIA and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation funded in the early 1980s.
Beeson gave geriatrics another leg up when he took over as editor-in-chief of the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, in 1978. He held the post until 1984 and was an Editor Emeritus until his death. During his tenure as editor-in-chief, Beeson attracted a nationally eminent editorial board of experts in all relevant clinical areas, enhanced the status of the journal and the Society, and continued to raise awareness of the importance of the study of aging and effective care for older people.
In addition to his other gifts, Beeson had a gift for editing. With Walsh McDermott, MD, he edited the "Cecil-Loeb Textbook of Medicine" and helped edit both "Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine" and "The Oxford Companion to Medicine." He appreciated good writing and sometimes found it difficult to refrain from marking up copy. "An old editor finds it almost impossible to resist penciled suggestions about wording and some thoughts about the substance of the report," he wrote after covering a draft of the IOM report with proofreader's marks. His edits were, inevitably, on target.
"As a first-year fellow at the National Institute on Aging, I fondly recall receiving a manuscript that I had submitted to JAGS which Dr. Beeson had hand edited," recalls AGS President Jane Potter, MD, director of the section of geriatrics at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. "I also recall that I received these comments only a few days after the manuscript had been submitted. It was so clear that what he wanted most was to be helpful, and this manuscript became the first paper that I published in JAGS."
In recognition of his numerous and significant contributions to medicine in general, and to geriatrics in particular, the National Institute on Aging and several foundations established the Paul B. Beeson Career Development Awards in Aging Research program in his honor in 1995. Since then, the program has supported the independent research careers of clinically trained investigators whose work enhances the care and quality of life of older adults. The program is just one part of Beeson's lasting and substantial legacy.
"Dr. Beeson's contributions as a scientist, clinician and beloved teacher have greatly expanded knowledge and understanding of the human condition and have profoundly influenced the career paths of generations of physicians," writes Jeremiah Barondess, MD, Immediate Past President of the New York Academy of Medicine. "Dr. Beeson never lost focus on the importance of care in serving the sick, of remembering the person who has the disease. He has transmitted those values to a very large number of today's physicians. In every way, Paul Beeson has been a powerful force for good in American Medicine."

Washington Post's New Video Blog: Are You Inspired By Street Style, Too?
These days, I get more ideas about what to wear from watching people on the street or looking at blogs that document the clothes of everyday people than from looking at high-concept photo shoots in fashion magazines. The Washington Post has caught on to this trend and gone all Sartorialist on us by shooting videos around D.C. of attractive, well-dressed people talking about what they're wearing for its "Scene In" series. Personal style is so hard to define and categorize, so the descriptions people come up with are pretty wild, i.e., "What inspires my style — India, Pakistan, the ocean, my mother, my great-grandmother, Kenya, Ethiopia, Mexico…" Watch the video, and you tell us: Do you prefer your style inspiration served up by celebrities and models in magazines, or real people on the street? [Washington Post]

Bhai Phota
Bhai Phota is the popular name for the festival of Bhai Dooj in the state of West Bengal. Bhai fota is celebrated to strengthen the bond of love and affection between siblings. The festival is a joyous family occasion on the 'Dooj' or 'Dwiteya' which is the second day after new moon or Kali Puja celebrations. Unique rituals are practiced by the people of West Bengal which makes the festival delightfully different from Bhai Dooj celebrations as seen in rest of the country.
Rituals of Bhai Phota
Bhai Phota ceremonies are practiced with sincerity and faith by brothers and sisters in West Bengal. Rituals begin quite early in the morning as people start preparing for the festival. Men and women dress up in their finest clothes. According to the custom brothers visit sisters on Bhai Phota. Sisters prepare a lavish meal for brother and his family but herself does not consume water or food till she applies tilak on her brother's forehead.
On his arrival brother is seated on an 'asana' (a small cotton mattress). Sister then applies 'Phota' or tilak on brother's forehead with devotion. She also chants a mantra wishing for her brother's well being and prosperity. The 'Tilak' is a unique paste of 'chandan' (sandalwood), 'kaajol' and 'doi' (yogurt). While the elder sister is supposed to apply phota with the little finger of her left hand, kid sister does so using her right hand.
Thereafter, sisters pamper their brother with gifts and sweets. Brother touches the feet of her sister as a mark of respect and in the form of blessing sister place rice grains and 'Durba' (blades of grass) on her brother's head. Now, it is the turn of brother to pamper her sister with loads of Bhai Phota Gifts. Sounds produced by conch shells adds to the joy of the ritual.
Sisters away from their brother send Bhai Phota by post. Today as more and more brothers and sisters are getting hooked to Internet there is a trend to send e-tika. Brother too send Bhai Phota Gifts Online in the age of technology.
Bhai Phota Celebrations
Bhai fota is celebrated as a family reunion day in the state of West Bengal. Married sisters are particularly elated on the day as they get to meet people of their mother's family. Best of festive dishes are prepared and loads of Bhai Phota Gifts are exchanged. There is joy and merriment all around.
Mantra read by Sister during Bhai Phota ceremonies:
Bengali Version:
Bhaier kapale dilam phonta,
Jamer Duare porlo kanta,
Jamuna Dae Jomke phonta,
Ami di amar bhaike phonta,
Bhai jeno hoy lohar vata.
English Translation:
I put a "phota" on my brother's fore-head
To make my brother immortal
"Yamuna" gives a "phota" to "Yam"
I give a "phota" to my brother
Brother may becomes tough as iron.

Salvino will be coaching at California — as football aide
Joe Salvino is going to be coaching at California Area this season.
However, Monessen basketball fans can relax because he isn't leaving to coach the Trojans' on the hard court.
Salvino is expected to join Bo Teets' football staff as an assistant if the California Area School Board approves the recommendation. He will be coaching the Trojan linebackers.
Salvino, who will be entering his 31st season coaching Monessen's successful boys' basketball program, had been a football assistant for 22 seasons before stepping aside three years ago.
"Bo asked me last year when he got the job at California and I told him I wasn't interested," said Salvino. "He called me again this season and at first I told him I didn't think so, but he was persistent.
"He said he really wanted me and that I could be a big help, so I told him I would do it for this season anyway. I always did enjoy coaching football, to be honest."
Teets and Salvino were both assistants on Monessen's football staff under head coach Andy Pacak.
"We worked well together and I like Bo," Salvino said. "I just hope I'm into it like I was before. I guess I will find out Monday (when camp starts)."
Teets smiled when asked about the new addition to his staff.
"He's just a guy who lives down the street from me who has a little coaching experience," Teets said, tongue-in-cheek.
Teets then gushed at the addition of Salvino to his staff.
"He's a guy who has been around. He's a winner. He's a legendary coach," Teets said. "You can't put a value on that for a program like ours.
"We coached together for four years at Monessen and worked very closely together and have similar styles. I'm excited about the prospects of having Joe with us."
Salvino said it will be different coaching a sport at a school other than Monessen for the first time.
"It already has been strange," he said with a laugh. "The other day we had conditioning and I was there and I really didn't know many of the kids.
"Some of them came up to me and I introduced myself, and I'm not sure all of them even know who I am," said Salvino, who has won multiple WPIAL and PIAA basketball titles during his illustrious career at Monessen.
One thing Salvino won't have to worry about — at least during the regular season — is coaching against the Greyhounds and a lot of his basketball players.
While Monessen was moved to the newly revamped Eastern Conference, California returns to the Tri-County South Conference and a lot of its former longtime rivals.
"They have a young team and they are back in the Tri-County South," Salvino said. "So we will see what happens."

Just curious, is there any SEO impact, good or bad, for having domains that are unused simply forwarding to my main domain?
For example, I own domain.com and I purchased domain.co.uk to prevent others from buying it.
If domain.co.uk forwards to domain.com – will Google penalise me for doing so, or is it ok?
I recently did this for a client, and from my research I found as long as you do a 301 redirect it should not affect your SEO .
Thank you both for your input and thank you for the link @SportTipsWorld

Imagine hopping onto the back of da Vinci's portrait of Mona Lisa and cruising it down the streets of France or saddling up New York's Charging Bull and riding it into Times Square. Although piggy-backing a piece of artwork and parading it through public venues might sound like a looney fantasy, the art students of South Mountain High School have made it a reality.
See their creations 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Jan. 30, when Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art hosts a free reception to open the exhibition "Art in Motion."
While this exhibit is available for anyone's amusement, SMoCA wanted to capture the attention of young adults and teens, and what better way than with bicycles?
That is why South Mountain students participating in SMoCA's Young @ Art program took advantage of the 30 bicycles donated to their workshop and constructed pieces of art that could potentially be ridden around campus and appeal to students. Other features of the motion-themed exhibition are the collections of photography, charcoal and pencil artworks also made by students.
At the opening-night party, performers from the Circus School of Arizona will properly and playfully demonstrate the rideability of two art bikes, and there will be a fire breather and stilt walker. Along with the art bikes, there will be several pieces made solely out of bike parts.
What: "Art in Motion," an exhibition of sculptures made from bicycle parts
When: Opening reception is 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 30; exhibition remains on display through April 20.
Where: The Young@Art Gallery inside Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts, 7380 E. Second St.
Cost: Free admission
Information: (480) 874-4666 or SMoCA.org

Tyron Woodley: Putting 170 on Notice
They complained about Tyron Woodley. They couldnt appreciate that the two-time Division I All-American wrestler from the University of Missouri had won each of his 10 pro fights, most in dominant fashion, and, contrary to popular belief, most by knockout or submission.
And there were quality fighters on that list of Woodley victims: Tarec Saffiedine, Paul Daley, Andre Galvao, Jordan Mein.
But a dominant wrestler rarely gets the acclaim a reckless striker will receive, so Woodley took the criticism with a grain of salt, and when he got his shot at the vacant Strikeforce welterweight title against Nate Marquardt in July of 2012, his plan was clear.
In the Nate fight, we were just gonna go in there and fight like two mice in a wool sock, laughs Woodley, not too far off from what actually took place for nearly four rounds in Portland, Oregon last summer. In an entertaining scrap, Woodley dropped Marquardt, the former UFC title challenger recovered, and in the fourth round, Nate The Great handed Woodley the first loss of his career via knockout. It was a tough way to make a point, but Woodley isnt crying over the end result, even if migrating to the UFC would have been even sweeter with a title belt around his waist.
For the fans, I think they liked how the fight went, he said. It was a teeter-totter, back and forth battle and it was exciting for them to watch, but at the end of the day, would I have gone to the UFC with a little bit more steam if I went over with the belt? Yes. But I think Dana (White) and Lorenzo (Fertitta) saw what happened in that fight and they saw what I was able to do.
So it was no surprise when Woodley was brought into the UFC family after the announcement that Strikeforce was shutting its doors, with his first fight in the Octagon coming up this Saturday against veteran Jay Hieron. What may be surprising is that Woodley plans on bringing the heat early and often in Las Vegas this weekend.
God has given me true gifts, talents, and abilities, and its time for me to prove it to myself and start knocking peoples heads off, he said. Jay Hieron is a tough opponent, hes got good name recognition, he just had a really close fight with Jay Ellenberger, and knocking him off in great fashion is gonna put me where Im supposed to be. I think Strikeforce missed the opportunity to market me the way they should have, and I think Im gonna be a star in the UFC.
One of the true homegrown fighters on the Strikeforce roster, Woodley fought just twice professionally before being brought in by the promotion, and from there, all he did was win.
Im a big part of Strikeforces history, said Woodley. I sold 200 tickets to fight on the undercard in June of 09, and I helped solidify the Challengers series along with Tim Kennedy and Luke Rockhold. And I feel like I earned my way to a title shot fighting Paul Daley, Jordan Mein, and Andre Galvao, having a super tough fight against Nate Coy, and beating Tarec Saffiedine in a very convincing two out of three round fashion.
But again, wrestlers who have the ability to control a fight from beginning to end on the mat take their share of abuse from fans, and even some segments of the media. Woodleys response?
Its a chess match, he said. Tarec Saffiedine is an amazing striker. How many opponents has he been able to showcase his striking on? Nate Moore, (Tyler) Stinson, and even the fights in Japan that he lost, he still showed great striking. Im the only guy that neutralized anything he brought to the table, and I actually outstruck him, as well as outstruck Paul Daley, the knockout artist. And when I fought the Abu Dhabi grappling champion, Andre Galvao, I knocked him out. Nate Marquardt is the only guy where I actually went into his element. People dont realize my striking abilities, but I showed him (Marquardt) and he has a lot more respect for me now than he did going into the fight because he expected a pressure-type, wrestling, taking you down and controlling position fight, and he got something different.
So did everyone watching, and while the end result was a negative one, knowing that Woodley can turn up the heat when he wants to bodes well for him and the fans as he begins his UFC journey. And the 30-year-old St. Louis native doesnt plan on taking the long road to the title. He hopes for a short and intense one.
Im gonna go through Jay Hieron no disrespect to him - and the punches hes about to get have nothing to do with him, said Woodley. It has something to do with proving something to myself, really leaving it out there and giving a first good impression in the UFC, and from that point on, I want the Top Five. Let me knock them off, and Im ready to do it. I want Rory MacDonald, (Nick) Diaz, (Martin) Kampmann, (Jake) Ellenberger, (Carlos) Condit. Thats who I want after this fight and Im gonna ask for them and Im not gonna be quiet about it because a lazy pig dont get no slop. I want to make sure Im putting myself in position to get a crack at GSP (champion Georges St-Pierre) because I feel like I match up very well with him and its too long of a road to be going from the bottom and working your way through a round robin tournament. I realize that and Im ready for it.
Needless to say, with words like that, the game has changed for Tyron Woodley and the landscape at 170 pounds just got a little more interesting.
Im fighting with a different meaning and a different passion, he said. What can happen? Get knocked out again? Lose again? I lost in the worst fashion you could lose in. I lost in a world title fight with all the marbles on the line, I lost by knockout, and I had my first loss. So in this fight against Hieron, nothing can happen thats worse than what Ive already had.


text: Home > Business > Getting Change Orders under Control Business Getting Change Orders under Control An effective change order procedure ensures fair payment for additional work By Dee Bailey Login or Register to download the PDF version of this article. (296.92 kB) What is a change order? Is it any deviation from written specs and drawings or is it only additional work? Regardless of what a company's policy is, there has to be a definition that the whole team understands and agrees on. At my company, change orders include all deviations from the original scope of work, plus all clarifications of job specs. Apart from assuring that clients pay for extra work, this comprehensive definition protects the company from the conflicts that often arise from undocumented verbal agreements. With so many decisions being made during a job and so many chances for decisions to conflict with one another in unanticipated ways, documentation is the only way to manage this information and avoid being wrongly blamed. Clearly defining what constitutes a change order is essential to setting up a system that prevents you from doing unpaid work. One way to better understand how change orders affect a contracting business is to track them as a percentage of sales. Historically, they have represented 10% of the total sales volume in my company. That percentage breaks down into the categories in the chart in Figure 1.Additional Requests Login or Register to continue reading

With all due respect, a 10-year old child doesn't need a "structured program" to exercise, in school or at the YMCA. There's the entire great outdoors. A 10-year old should be out playing, throwing a ball or a Frisbee, playing tag, racing his friends, hide and go seek, using playgrounds, jumping, running, throwing, rolling. It's not rocket surgery..

Additional Forms/Changing Information
File an amended return if taxpayers:
Two weeks after Bernard's current year tax return was filed, he received another Form W-2 in the mail. The volunteer tax preparer reviewed Bernard's file to be sure the Form W-2 wasn't included in the original return. The volunteer then helped Bernard prepare Form 1040X to include the additional Form W-2 on the current year return.
Remind taxpayers: if the federal return has to be amended, the state return may also need to be amended.
After the due date of the original return, a taxpayer can change from Married Filing Separately to Married Filing Jointly, but cannot change from Married Filing Jointly to Married Filing Separately. However, an executor may be able to make this change for a deceased spouse. Refer to Publication 17 for more information.

Vermont Supreme Court Goes Online
05/24/02 12:00AM By Steve Zind
| Download MP3
(Host) When you hear the words 'Vermont Supreme Court,' you may think about black robes, woody chambers and quiet and learned deliberations. Now think "dot-com." Add to your thoughts the latest technology, instant access to information, biographies of the justices, their opinions ... and now their voices on-line.
VPR's Steve Zind reports our story.
(Gavel sounds at start of session.)
(Zind) This week, the Vermont Supreme Court was in session hearing arguments on a number of cases. But you didn't have to go to the courthouse in Montpelier to hear the justices spar with the lawyers. (Sound of lawyer and justice in discussion.) The Supreme Court proceedings are online, posted at the Vermont judiciary's website. The audio from the sessions is the latest addition to the website, which has earned national recognition.
According to Court Administrator Lee Suskin, the site tries to meet the needs of everyone from the lawyers who argue before the court, to people who want to pay a traffic ticket.
(Suskin) "We have sophisticated users and we have unsophisticated users. And we try to say OK, there are different ways to access the same site based on level of understanding or how people think."
(Zind) Beyond it's practical usefulness, the Vermont Judiciary website offers insight into an institution that has a profound effect on our lives, but that most of us know little about.
There are transcripts of speeches by justices, copies of Supreme Court rulings, and bar exam questions and answers. According to Justice John Dooley, there's a larger purpose behind making all this information available.
(Dooley) "In many ways, of course we're the most secretive part of government. Decisions are made in private. But we want to be as open as we possibly can. There are many reasons why it's very important that citizens understand us."
(Zind) Dooley says in the next few months significantly more information about specific court cases will be added to the website. He says much of it has always been available, but until now, getting at it has been difficult for anyone unfamiliar with the court system.
(Dooley) "It's time and effort. Go to a courthouse, it has normal business hours open, you have to be there during that period of time, you have to ask for the information, you have to spend time pawing through paper. All of these kinds of reasons meant that while the data is publicly available in theory, in practice it really hasn't been."
(Zind) Dooley says several years ago when Vermont court officials began to develop a website containing vast volumes of information, they realized they had to first decide what to make public and what to keep private. Surprisingly, Dooley says some basic privacy issues had never before been adequately addressed.
(Dooley) "One of the greatest challenges was to deal with a subject that should have been dealt with a long time ago, which is how do we balance privacy and access in this immense base of information we have on people? We probably have the largest single database about state government on people and businesses and activities of government on all levels and because of the nature of our business. It's often about particularly private and sometimes quite embarrassing information about people. That's why they're in court."
(Zind) Dooley says the court has developed rules governing what should be made public with an eye toward making as much information available as possible. With those rules in place, Lee Suskin says the court is ready to expand the website, making possible even greater communication and information sharing between Vermonters and the court system.
(Suskin) "It's a work in progress. I expect that in the long run, this is the way the courts will do business with the rest of the world.... It's generally applying all of the principles of e-commerce, or e-government into e-judiciary."
(Zind) Suskin says use of the court website is increasing. There were more than 60,000 visitors to the site in a recent month. The address is www.vermontjudiciary.org.
For Vermont Public Radio, I'm Steve Zind at the Supreme Court in Montpelier.

text: Our Verdict A pretty simple iPod dock design, but others do it better For A handy travel companion Against There are better, less expensive speaker docks Reviewed on 24th July 2007 iRhythms has been busy of late setting up its stall in the vast iPod accessory market, but it's going to have to do better than the A302 if it's going to thrive in this competitive market. Incidentally, the A302 and A303 differ only in colour, with the latter being black. Built for versatility, the A302 can be used both in the home and as a set of travel speakers. iPods fit snugly into the universal dock well – which, as you'd expect, also charges your player – and the remote control offers basic interaction with your iPod. Simple but effective There's a minimum of connectivity: all the A302 really has to offer is an auxiliary input. This does enable the dock to be used with other MP3 players and portables though, which further boosts its travel credentials. Sonically, the A302 doesn't really justify its price. The bass gets a little lost at times, even though the midrange holds up adequately, and detail retrieval is fairly good. This iRhythms doesn't really have the power for home use, so at best is an okay travel companion. Having said that, something like Logitech's Pure-Fi Anywhere is a far better iPod speaker dock to pack on your hols.

But it may not be good for the Democratic Party, at least if success is measured by electoral victories.
How did a former governor—and a rising star in the Democratic Party—end up in a situation like this?
Gillibrand was a member of the class of 2006 that swept the Democratic Party to the majority in Congress.
The new Republican Party is a strange version of the old Democratic Party.
It was so influential within the Democratic Party that both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama rushed to match it.
See now what has been done by the Democratic Party, and then say what evil may not be expected from it.
Why, his paper would be an organ—an organ of the Democratic Party!
In politics Mr. Tompkins largely maintains an independent course but leans toward the Democratic Party.
The Democratic Party in this session had a majority on joint ballot.
But for the next two years give up trying to purify the Democratic Party.
A political party that arose in the 1820s from a split in the Democratic-Republican party. Andrew Jackson was the first president elected from the Democratic party. The other Democratic presidents elected before the Civil War were Martin Van Buren, James K. Polk, Franklin Pierce, and James Buchanan. The party generally opposed the national bank, high protective tariffs, interference with slavery, and federal aid for internal improvements in the nation — all measures that the Whigs came to favor. The Democrats' greatest strength was with farmers, laborers, and people of the frontier.
One of the two major political parties in the United States; the Democrats. The origins of the Democrats are in the Democratic-Republican party, organized by Thomas Jefferson in the late eighteenth century; the first president elected simply as a Democrat was Andrew Jackson. Always strong in the South, the party was severely damaged by secession, the Civil War, and Reconstruction, and did not produce a winning presidential candidate between 1861 and 1885, when Grover Cleveland was elected. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, in contrast to the Republicans, the Democrats tended to be the party of the South and West, opposed to the interests of business and the Northeast. Woodrow Wilson, the next Democratic president, was part of the Progressive movement. In the period of the New Deal, in the presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt, the Democratic party reached enormous strength among labor union members, minority groups, and middle-income people. The Democratic presidents since Roosevelt have been Harry S. Truman, John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, James Earl Carter, and William Jefferson Clinton.
Note: Since the New Deal, Democrats have emphasized the role of the federal government in promoting social, economic, and political opportunities for all citizens. They generally support a tax system that places a greater burden on the rich and large corporations, and they prefer spending on social programs to spending on defense. Today most blacks, along with Jews, liberals, and labor unions, support the party, which since the 1930s has been strong in major cities. The Democrats' strength in the white South, its strongest base before 1950, has slipped significantly, and in the 1970s and 1980s many blue-collar workers shifted to the Republican party.
Note: Under President Clinton, the Democratic Party shed some of its New Deal legacies in order to win back white working-class and middle-class voters lost to the Republicans.
Note: The Democrats' party symbol is the donkey.

Laoshi replied to Casy's topic in Dermatitis HerpetiformisI went off gluten, and the dh didn't go away but got gradually worse. Then I went off dairy completely and the dh cleared right up. It hasn't come back, and I've heard that dairy is not much different from gluten on the molecular level, so the immune system is just being overly protective I guess. After a year I re-introduced dairy gradually and the dh didn't come back, but other symptoms did. Go figure. So now I'm off dairy again. Aargh.

Old Formulas to Treat a New Flu
Can traditional Chinese medicine beat swine flu?
Some Beijing medical officials think so, at least for mild cases of the disease. On Thursday, Chinese medicine officials announced that a traditional formula called Jin Hua Qing Gan" (金花清感) has been designated as the world's first "optimized effective agent" for alleviating the symptoms of the H1N1 virus.
"The clinical study showed that Jin Hua Qing Gan can shorten the duration of fever, alleviate respiratory tract symptoms like sore throat, coughing etc.," said Zhao Jing, director of the Beijing Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine at the press conference where the finders were announced.
Currently, however, it's unclear if Jin Hua Qing Gan would directly replace other Western medicines to treat H1N1, especially in serious cases. "This is indeed an issue, as the target of our research are all H1N1 patients with slight symptoms", said Wang Chen, President of Chaoyang Hospital.
The formula was developed and tested at several Western and traditional medical institutes in Beijing over the past six months. It is based on two major components, both of which have been used for centuries to treat fevers. One is Ma Xing Shi Gan(麻杏石甘汤), which has been used in China for more than 2,000 years, and Yin Qiao San (powder of lonicera and forsythia — 银翘散), which has been used for over 200 years to reduce fever.
The researchers said no adverse reactions have been found so far in patients who took the formula from the 28 traditional hospitals in Beijing that have been using it. A course of treatment costs about 80 yuan ($11.72).
In the future, Zhao said the new formula will have to go through an approval process. A license could be granted in January and the formula could come on the market in Beijing then.
It's not clear if the formula can be exported. Ma Xing Shi Gan Formula contains Ma Huang, (herba ephedrae). Although this herb is widely used to treat asthma in China, it was sold in the U.S. as a weight-loss product in dosages far higher than commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine. After several highly publicized deaths, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration banned it in 2004.

We had a batch if memory sticks arrive at work the other day. I decided to purchase one for £5. I tend to have a lot of memory sticks at home but they are all used for storing photos, music and documents on. I find this quite helpful especially if my computer should ever go wrong.
The memory stick is about 4.5cm long, 1cm thick and 1.5cm wide so can fit in most wallets, pencil cases, pockets or keyring without getting in the way. The memory stick is robust and has a hole for a lanyard. It has 1GB of memory and I have found that I can fit a fair few MP3 tracks, photos and word documents on it. 1GB is actually a good amount for storing data for moving between one computer and another.
The memory stick loads up quickly on the computer and it is easy to access pre-saved files and folders. The memory stick is compatible with all computers and comes with a instruction book on how to use it. I believe that for older computers a driver is required and this can be installed from the internet.
The memory stick is available online for between £3.99 and £9.49. Memory sticks seem to be coming down in price and if you can get your hands on the Kingston DataTraveler you can guarantee good quality. In fact the Memory stick is under a 5 year warranty so should the hardware fail within this time you can get a replacement. Do remember however memory sticks can fail and it's not worth taking the risk.

Teaching is considered as one of the oldest profession as well as A Nobel profession. Every teacher is expected to be an ideal man imbued with a high moral character.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
|This article is orphaned. Few or no other articles link to it. (May 2009)
Ilocos collectively refers to two Provinces in the Philippines: Ilocos Norte and Ilocos Sur. Inhabitants are called Ilocanos and they speak the Ilocano language.
The term Ilocos Region is derived from this term. However, the designation of Ilocos as the basis of the name of the region promotes the wrong notion that all the residents of Region 1 are Ilocanos. Because 28% of the inhabitants are Pangasinan people, who belong to a different ethno-linguistic group from the Ilocanos.

"Geronimo's a big deal around here," Bedingfield said, adding that her mother-in-law, Anita Bedingfield, who commissioned the painting from Caraway and paid her $400 for it, quickly increased insurance coverage after having it appraised.
Anita Bedingfield originally bought the painting for her husband, Wayne, a descendent of Geronimo.
"When I first got it, I knew it was one of the best works Eunice ever did. We decided to have it appraised after it got so much attention from Indians on the White Mountain Indian Reservation," she said.
According to Anita Bedingfield, while their daughter, Cindy, a teacher on the reservation, had the painting on display in her home, residents of the reservation loved it so much they would sneak into the house and leave mementos, such as rocks and feathers for Geronimo.
"We heard from other teachers there that the Inn of the Mountain Gods Resort and Casino near us might pay up to $100,000 for the painting," Anita Bedingfield said. "But we didn't know if it was true. We've never been interested in selling unless there's a serious reason."
She said she and her husband have given the painting back to their children and will let them make the decision of whether or not to eventually sell it.
Speaking for her siblings, Lynette Bedingfield said they plan to keep a low profile about the value of the painting.
"The painting is the number one focal point in our caf, but we don't want people to know how much it's worth," she said.
When she painted Geronimo, Caraway and her husband, Norris, lived in Anchor Point and made their living as artists. She created the picture by studying photos of the famous Apache chief.
Caraway's husband, Norris, said he recognized his wife's talent as an artist on their first date.
"She pulled a big box out from under her bed and showed me the pictures she painted. I knew right then that this woman would be a great artist. I predicted it on our first date, but she didn't have a clue," he said.
The Caraways are now semi-retired, following a career steeped in art that began in the mid-1970s. Norris Caraway said he decided to quit his job about that time, after his wife framed four of his paintings to be displayed at her art show. When all four of his paintings sold right away, he joined her in her profession.

Service Health Checks
In the era of open public services and spending cuts, it has never been more important for authorities to understand the costs and performance of their services. The 'transparency' agenda, coupled with 'right to challenge' that features in the Localism Act, will mean that citizens, the local media and suppliers have the ability to scrutinise public spending closer than ever. The result is likely to be that poor-performing and/or expensive services will be subjected to outside challenge and perhaps ultimately outsourced.
We draw on the extensive datasets held by CIPFA and others to produce tailored Service Health Checks that analyse the costs and performance of your authority's services and therefore identify those that may be at risk of challenge. Our datasets include:
- CIPFA's benchmarking clubs
- Back-office VfM indicators
- VfM toolkit
- CIPFAstats
- Locally-held data
- National data that is publicly available
How do you measure up?
We can help to show how you are performing vis a vis a range of comparator groups, taking account of your corporate priorities and the local context. The ensuing report will feature both graphical and narrative analysis and provide you with the essential starting point for getting your services into shape.
Over recent years we have undertaken around 50 similar reviews, demonstrating how costs compare to others in relation to performance, service delivery and outcomes achieved.
For more information, please take a look at our example report. Alternatively, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.

Pattern Description
Funny how one idea sparks another, then another, then, well, you get the idea. First it was the drawstring top, after that along came the lack of decreases for the crown, followed by a sideways cabled band, and before long there was Wylde Oats. I cannot, however, claim all of the credit since much inspiration for this pattern also came from the yarn itself. Something about the feel of Rowan Wool Cotton begs for cables and textured patterns. The cotton content lends a coolness to the yarn, while the 50% merino keeps it springy and warm enough for an Auntumn day.
