My kids love to work with me in the shop. I allow the oldest, who's thirteen, to use the lathe while being supervised, while the younger kids need to be content with non-power hand tools. Our projects can range from space blasters and doll furniture to pirate chests and catapults. Generally the boys like to cut, drill and nail, while my daughters want me to hurry up so they can paint and finish. My wife likes the fact that they're out of her hair and spending time with their dad.
Here are the keys I've discovered that ensure that all of us have a great time:
Shops with all their machines, sharp tools and chemicals can be pretty dangerous places. Most of us work in fairly tight spots, so finding a place for the kids to work can be a challenge. The ideal place in my shop is at the bench far away from the machinery and finishing room, but the bench itself is too high for most of the kids. One solution was to fasten a 2x12 to a couple of wooden crates for them to stand on, but that limited their mobility and I worried they'd fall off. We eventually settled on a kid's bench. Made from scrap plywood and 2x4s, we mounted a clamp-on vise (199153) at just the right height. When not in use, the whole thing (except for the vise) stores outside under the deck behind the house.
When I took shop in middle school, 7th graders were allowed to use the bandsaw, scroll saw and drill press. Everything else had to be done with hand tools. 8th graders could also use the lathe, but the table saw was off limits. It was reserved for high school kids in occupational training. The shop teacher of course closely monitored all of this activity. These still seem like reasonable guidelines to me now, but I choose to emphasize hand tool skills with my kids over machine operations. For me, the point is not to teach a trade necessarily, but rather to achieve other benefits like self-sufficiency, together time, etc.
As for safety rules, we tend to practice principles over an overt list of dos and don'ts. The biggest rule is no one is allowed in the shop without an adult. Period, end of story, no exceptions! The next hard rule requires eye protection at all times and hearing and dust protection when appropriate. I just love Highland's new child-sized safety glasses (818349). Needless to say they fit smaller faces, so they're not constantly having to push them up. Plus, they don't fog up like goggles tend to do.
After that, I like to instill in my kids what I call mindfulness. Mindfulness is a general awareness of where you are and what you are doing in the here and now. This typically involves concepts like no hands in front of cutting tools, and no holding things with one hand while working with a tool in the other. That's what vises and clamps are for. Sharp tools are important too. Along with being a primary woodworking skill, sharpening and sharp tools will help prevent and lessen the severity of accidents. Oh yes, we also keep a well-supplied first aid kit right on the wall.
Even though we want to emphasize safety, too often these projects become our projects. Let the kids do the work. The point is not necessarily to accomplish a task or even finish a job. Kids operate in the moment, and are more interested in the process than getting the job done, sometimes.
Broken down into a sum of its parts, woodworking is a fairly simple endeavor. You have cutting, drilling, driving and shaping. All other operations are subcategories of these four, and are basic enough for most children to accomplish safely with primary hand tools. You must discern at what age these tasks and tools can be introduced to your child on a case-by-case basis.
Almost all cutting operations for younger children can be done with a coping saw (051901). These inexpensive frame type saws cut on the pull stroke, which most kids find easier to do than push cutting. Since the blade is in tension while cutting, it won't bind like saws designed to cut on the push. You can use these saws to cut straight lines, curves and circles. Older children can graduate to a ryoba saw (126421). A ryoba is a traditional Japanese carpenter's saw that has two sets of teeth. One side cuts with the grain of a board (lengthwise), while the other cuts across the grain (widthwise). Again, ryobas work on the pull and are more intuitive to use than western style saws.
Unfortunately the venerable hand drill is disappearing from the woodworking lexicon, having been forced out by inexpensive electric and battery-powered models. Yet the bit brace and gear-driven eggbeater drill (071817) are ideal tools for children who are learning to work wood. Since they're safe, muscle-powered and efficient to use, what better way could there be to make a hole? Oh, and did I mention quiet? Braces tend to make larger holes, generally from 1/4" to 1-1/2". Eggbeaters drill holes from 1/16" up to a 1/4".
Here's the part my kids love. What kid can resist bashing something with a hammer or mallet? But driving isn't just for nails and dowel rods. Screwdrivers are also driving tools. You'll want one slotted and one Phillips. Any small hammer will do, but we've found that traditional Japanese hammers (146605) are better balanced, and more comfortable for kids to use. Use them for pounding nails and setting dowels, although some purists might frown upon hitting a wooden dowel with a steel hammer.
Shaping comprises a wide range of tools like files, rasps, sandpaper, chisels, gouges, knives, planes and scrapers. In the beginning, stick with tools that don't require sharpening, like files, rasps and sandpaper. Once the child gets older and is mastering sharpening, then he or she can move on to chisels, planes and carving gouges. I like the Surform (8131219) as a shaping tool for beginners. Surforms smooth and shape wood fast, fit small hands and have replaceable cutting surfaces. Unlike a handplane, a surform doesn't need to be tuned or sharpened to work.
Initially stick with softer woods like eastern white pine, sugar pine and basswood. These species are relatively inexpensive and are easy for kids to manipulate with hand tools. You can find these woods at most home centers and some craft stores. If you really want to go cheap, then check out my article in the May 2007 (No. 24) issue of Wood News Online, "Alternative Sources for Wood." There you will find all kinds of ideas for securing materials for next to nothing.
I guarantee you that you'll have no shortage of project ideas once you get started. You may have to make some suggestions at first, but once your kids see what's possible, they'll find their own projects, trust me. Keep things simple at first. Quick plans like toy boats and cars will build confidence and lead to more interesting things later. We carry several books that you might find helpful, including Easy Carpentry Projects for Children (20264) and Woodworking for Kids (200931).
Waterbased craft paint is an obvious finishing choice. Many times my kids want to start playing with their creations before the glue dries, so finishing may never happen. As their skills progress, their attention spans increase, and their projects become more complex, you'll want to expand their finishing options. We like shellac. It's food safe and dries quickly. What's not to like about it? It's perfect for all but permanent outdoor projects and water toys, which we usually paint. Be safe and have fun!

Program Focus
The MPA program at Marywood University is a completely online program. All courses are offered online through Moodle. The program values ethical, multi-cultural, non-violent, and common sense approach toward public service and emphasize diversity, global perspectives, and multiculturalism as a response to inter-playing dynamics in our profession. Our identity is shaped by the process of participatory engagement through the understanding and respect of different attitudes and approaches toward public administration. The program, as such, focuses on the following:
- Expose participants to a wide range of public affairs and administrative issues, as well as processes, practices, and responsibilities involved in providing public service.
- Train public administrators on local, national, and international levels within cooperative networks through active engagement in problem solving.
- Train public managers and administrators on all levels to adapt ethical responses toward issues of public service.
- Identify problems and issues among groups, organizations, and nation-states in order to arrive toward realistic and non-violent approaches to both local and global issues through cooperative association.
- Develop collegial and supportive associations within the profession to share resources and expertise on local, national, and international levels.
- Prepare participants in planning, organizing, staffing, implementing, and administering public service.
- Facilitate the participants' understanding and command of theories of management and supervision and applied social science theory related to the delivery of public service.
- Help participants develop analytical and evaluation skills and techniques leading to effective managerial decision-making applied to the complex task of providing public service.
- Help participants develop an awareness of equity and public interest concerns and the political process in which they arise.
- Provide advanced education in management issues related to the provision of public service, especially in the areas of public policy and administration, state and local government, the federal government, international relations and foreign policy, national security, disaster management, and nonprofit leadership.
The Master of Public Administration (MPA) at Marywood University provides entry-level, post entry-level, and mid-career participation from a variety of public, private, and nonprofit settings on local, state, national and global levels with cutting-edge education in administrative sciences involved in research, theory, case studies, simulations, group discussions and analyses, interpersonal development exercises, audiovisual media, field observations, and intensive coursework.
Global Approach
The MPA at Marywood University is involved in network development on local, regional, national and international levels to promote practical approaches to administrative systems in the public sphere. Rather than focusing on the institutionalization of outdated draconian measures of policy and administrative issues, our program is focusing on developing cooperative efforts to engage in networking and promoting social justice, peace, and ethical leadership. The program seeks to give voice to the global citizen and support victims of wars, genocide and oppression around the world, including providing access to education and a safe haven here at the United States. The program also seeks engagement and cooperation with NGOs on the global level to advocate sound political and economic policies, provide solutions to problems while restoring liberty, human dignity and potentials for happiness, and actualizing efforts toward supporting victims of economic, social and political cruelty.
The MPA at Marywood University aims to develop international networks of public administrators that become agents for collaboration and partnership on global level. We hope to rain professional cadre of public administrators to engage in public service and respond to public affairs issues based on democratic principles, commitment and public integrity.
Development of the MPA at Marywood University
The Master of Public Administration program (MPA) at Marywood University is involved in researching issues of public and administrative affairs, nonlinear dynamics, homeland security, disaster management, peace and non-violence in resolving conflicts and comparative international administrative systems. We are working to coordinate annual and periodic conferences that engage local, regional, national and international scholars at Marywood University and publish scholarly work in a program-sponsored peer-reviewed journal. The goal is to transform our program into an international think-tank for public policy and administration. These objectives are used as a catalyst to examine the characteristics of partnership building, value sharing and prototypes intrinsic in applying supportive paths to addressing issues of public affairs. Accordingly, we are engaged in the development of the following activities:
- Coordinating and organizing annual and periodic conferences on public affairs and administration through international dialogue. These conferences will include local, regional, national and international participants.
- Publishing a peer-reviewed journal on public policy and administration as a tool for peace studies, security, public service, dialogue and conflict resolution.
- Offering workshops to lo
The MPA at Marywood University considers the extent to which different issues are particular to public and nonprofit organization as well as broad array of administrative systems in nation-states around the world. An effective means of productive involvement is to form skills, attitudes and behaviors to comprehend administrative impact on the dynamics of public affairs within an integrated world. Reflecting on these thinking resides within our approach toward understanding progress through learning. Our focus is constructing common ground for dialogue in order to apply practical skills for ensuring collaborative interactions within public administrators on local, national, and international levels.
The program is building these approaches incrementally. Over time, these experiences will help the program forge effective alliances aimed in addressing pressing concerns in public affairs issues. Global networking, as a consequence, will emerge as a commitment to transcending barriers in resolving problems and concerns. Much of the program's success will depend on decisions made by the others as well as its participants. Collectively, we will communicate with each other effectively in order to understand both our interests, as well as the inspirations of all involved within autonomous network of collaboration.

Reviews & ratings Salzburg - Zurich
The station in Salzburg is very conveniently set within an easy walk of hotels and most tourist attractions including the old town. A great break from air travel.
Excellent facilities. Good staff. Almost on time arrival in Salzburg.
The seats were comfortable, there was adequate luggage space and large windows enabled a good view of the countryside. Information screens in each carriage were helpful.
We found the carriage we were in quite grubby but the seating comfortable. Again the area for storing suitcases limited.

Miami (AFP) June 26, 2012
Tropical storm Debby hit land as it arrived on Florida's Gulf Coast on Tuesday, threatening to dump another round of heavy rains on areas already reeling from flooding, US forecasters said.
Debby, which has been raking the coast with strong winds and rains since the weekend, swept over Steinhatchee in north-central Florida as it headed eastward to the Atlantic Ocean, where it is expected by Friday.
The Miami-based National Hurricane Center (NHC) said Debby was about 35 miles (55 kilometers) northwest of Cedar Key, Florida.
It was packing maximum sustained winds of 40 miles (64 kilometers) per hour, but had speeded up and was now moving toward the east at six miles (nine kilometers) per hour.
Parts of northern Florida were expected to get over two feet (61 centimeters) of rain. The storm also downed trees, upturned catamarans and drowned turtle nests along the Gulf, according to local media.
Authorities have closed several bridges and roads, including parts of Interstate 10, northern Florida's main interstate highway.
"Debby is expected to weaken to a tropical depression tonight," the NHC said in its latest bulletin, but it warned that "flooding will continue during the next day or two due to persistent onshore winds."
It also warned that "the combination of a storm surge and the tide will cause areas near the coast to be flooded by rising waters during the next high tide this evening (Tuesday)."
Florida Governor Rick Scott declared a state of emergency on Monday as power outages and flash floods heralded the storm's approach. Up to four feet of flooding was predicted for Apalachee Bay, while Tampa Bay could get up to three feet of water.
President Barack Obama called Scott as he traveled on his Air Force One jet "to ensure the state had no unmet needs" as it responds to extreme weather and flooding from Debby, White House spokesman Jay Carney said.
The president "expressed condolences" for the loss of life as well as extensive damage to homes. Carney said federal emergency authorities would be in close contact with the state, and that the Obama administration "stood ready to provide additional assistance if necessary."
At least one woman was reported to have died in a tornado that local media attributed to Debby, and state authorities warned that more deadly twisters were possible.
Alabama search and rescue workers were also searching for a man who may have drowned in rough surf on Sunday, according to local media.

Art Renwal Center Several of Lambert's paintings available here, but mostly portraits. Of the three outdoor scenes, I chose the sheep shearing scene to indicate Lambert's interest in the middle and working classes. Portraiture paid better. But you still find these outdoor scenes. Lamberts' style was wholly different from Seurat's pointillism. He was a realist, which perhaps shows best in another of his outdoor scenes:
Look at the difference in the sky. Lambert's strokes are completely different from the technique that Seurat was using.
And then look at one of Suerat's skies:
View of Fort Samson, Grandcamp 1885 (130 Kb); Oil on canvas, 25 5/8 x 32 in; The Hermitage, St. Petersburg; Formerly Collection of Bernhard Koehler, Berlin Web. Museum
Notice the tremendous difference in feeling the two painting techniques achieve with the sky.
Compare to Seurat: "La Grande Jatte," at the Art Institute of Chicago.
Sunday Afternoon on theIsland of the Grande Jatte
- What Seurat Left Out of "La Grande Jatte" By Amanda Paulson | Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor. Backup. This is a really nice article that explains some of the social significance of Seurat's message.
"PRE-JATTE: Seurat painted numerous studies, including 'Rose-Colored Skirt' (shown), which shows a man and woman in an uncertain relationship. In the final version, Seurat omitted the man but added a child in white, inserting a note of innocence among the adults in 'La Grande Jatte.' "

Yup. Those people don't understand the laws of physics or probabilities. Tailgating is probably my grade A pet peeve. People blithely increasing the odds of an accident for the cheapest of reasons: 'I'm in a hurry man, get out of my way.'
I wish I had video of the times I've been on a two lane road, maybe a semi rural road, speed limit 40 to 50, and some DB gets right on my tail even though I have several cars ahead of me with a sane spacing between us. I'm not going to get anywhere quicker by getting up on their ass. So I pull over and let the DB go by, only to see him go up and get on the next guy's butt. About a minute later, we all come to stop light where we sit together for a minute or so.

Ask a Lawyer and Get Answers to Your Legal Questions
Good afternoon. I'd be glad to help you with your question.
If there are efforts being made to cause them to leave because they are handicapped (which includes their right to have dogs to help aid them with their disability), they do have protections under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
They need a really good advocate. Do you know of someone in Pittsburgh PA who could represent them?
The terms of Just Answer do not allow me to refer them to a specific attorney. However, I can point you to a couple of resources that will help. They should use www.martindale.com or www.lawyers.com. Both are reputable attorney referral services. They both allow you to search for lawyers by location and practice area. Also, importantly, they both rate lawyers, so they can be sure they are getting quality representation.
Also, once they decide on a few, they should interview more than just one, asking them their experience with the ADA, and thoughts on the case. Hiring a lawyer is just like hiring anyone else...they should not just pick one and not look at others.
Okay, what area of law should I look for?
They should look for ADA lawyers or disability lawyers.
Also, they could consider landlord/tenant lawyers.
Okay, thankyou for your help.
Glad to help.
If there isn't anything else I can do for you, please remember to "rate" my answer before you go.

Be Cool is a 2005 American crime-comedy film adapted from Elmore Leonard's 1999 novel of the same name and the sequel to Leonard's 1990 novel Get Shorty (itself adapted into a hit 1995 film of the same name) about mobster Chili Palmer's entrance into the film industry.
The film adaptation of Be Cool began production in 2003. It was directed by F. Gary Gray, produced by Danny DeVito (who produced and co-starred in the first film), and starred John Travolta, reprising his role from the first film. The film opened in March 2005 to generally mixed to negative reviews,[2] and was released to video and DVD distribution on June 7, 2005. This was Robert Pastorelli's final film, as he died one year before its theatrical release.

Chili Palmer (John Travolta) helps Edie Athens (Uma Thurman), the widow of an executed friend, Tommy Athens (James Woods), to resurrect a record company using the talents of young and talented female vocalist and songwriter, Linda Moon (Christina Milian). The plot is complicated by several facts:
- In a loan-shark subplot from Get Shorty of "who owns who", Chili makes deals and owns all the players as a "producer".
- The Russian Mafia (headed by Alex Kubik as Roman Bulkin) are trying to kill Chili because he witnessed the execution of Athens.
- Athens' record company owes money to a gangster/producer, Sin LaSalle (Cedric the Entertainer).
Chili Palmer, after years of filmmaking, enters the music industry after witnessing the execution, by the head of the Russian mob, of his friend Tommy Athens, owner of a record company. Chili uses the opportunity to help his friend's widow, Edie Athens, manage the failing business, which owes $300,000 to the hip hop producer Sin LaSalle. Chili enters the music industry on the talents of a female entertainer, Linda Moon. Moon convinces Chili to take on her cause, getting out of contractual obligations to Nick Carr (Harvey Keitel) and Raji (Vince Vaughn), who has a gay Samoan bodyguard named Elliott (The Rock), an aspiring actor and the butt of Carr and Raji's homophobic jokes. Carr and Raji take exception to Chili's intervention, and hire a hitman, Joe "Loop" Lupino (Robert Pastorelli) to kill Chili. In the meantime, Chili convinces Edie to produce Moon, hoping to resurrect Athens' failing record company through a live performance with Steven Tyler and Aerosmith.
LaSalle threatens Chili and Edie for payment of the $300,000, but they convince him to give them a few days to get the money plus the pawn ticket, claiming that Linda's contract was at the pawn shop owned by the Russians. This is actually a set-up by Carr to get Chili killed.
Knowing about this trick, Chili hands the ticket to Edie, who turns it over to the police. Now the cops, instead of Chili, pay the Russians a visit. Believing that Carr tricked him, Bulkin and his men pay a visit to Carr's office while Sin LaSalle and the DubMD's are there. Insulted by Bulkin's racist remarks, LaSalle kills him. In the meantime, Raji sends Elliot to kill Chili. However, Chili befriends Elliot and tells him that he can help him out with his acting career. When Carr threatens Chili, Chili sends him to the hands of the police with a pawn ticket. Finally when Raji and Elliot threaten Chili, Chili again befriends Elliot, who turns on Raji after learning that Chili had gotten him an audition for a film and Raji erased the evidence of it on his answering machine. For all his smooth talking and flamboyant wardrobe, Raji finds himself in a firework conflagration which roasts him live on camera. Carr is arrested on murder charges when they find him with the bat used to kill Joe Loop.
During all of this confusion, Chili squeezes in a dance scene with Edie (a nod to his "Twist Contest" scene, also with Thurman, in Pulp Fiction) and Moon gets her debut with Aerosmith. Finally, LaSalle becomes the producer for Moon and Elliot embarks on a successful acting career (his first film is with Nicole Kidman).

Box office
On a production budget of $53 million, Be Cool grossed $56,046,979 in North American and $39,169,077 internationally, totaling up to $95,216,056 worldwide.
Critical reception
Be Cool received negative reviews from critics. Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a score of 30% based on reviews from 169 critics, with an average 4.6/10 rating.[3]
Halliwell called it "a palpable miss, a movie so lazy and laid back that it falls over; there are none of those insights ... that made Get Shorty so enjoyable".[4]
Inside jokes
Like Get Shorty, Be Cool portrays ironic self-referential gags, intertwining fact and fiction as a comedic device:
- At the beginning of the film, Chili sees an advertisement for Get Lost, which is the sequel to Get Leo—the film within a film he produced in Get Shorty. He expresses his distaste for sequels, as well as his dissatisfaction in failing to prevent Get Lost from being made, despite the fact he himself is a character in a sequel. The first line of the movie is Chili disgustedly dismissing the advertisement.
- Tommy proposes the idea of making a movie about a young singer who wants to make herself big with the help of a record mogul who makes it happen which becomes the main plot of the film at hand. Almost every factor Tommy mentioned in his pitch, such as gangsta rappers and the Russian Mafia, ends up happening in the film.
- Chili was asked by Marla the FBI agent about his meeting with Tommy when he replied "I know what you're getting, Marla. You think that I set this up. But the truth is he wants me to make a movie of him. How can we make a movie when the main character gets popped in the first scene". The Detective replied, "Yeah, not a bad opening". Chili responded "Yeah, you are right. You know that worked for American Beauty." The Detective and Marla replied, "Sunset Boulevard." "Or Casino." Well, Tommy was shot in early part of the movie, if not the first scene.
- When the idea is brought up to Steven Tyler, he vehemently rejects the possibility of being in a film and declares that he is not one of those singers who does bit-part cameos in films, despite the fact that that is exactly what he is doing in this film.
- The one time the word fuck is used in the film is in talking about the Motion Picture Association of America's policy that said curse word can only be used once without censorship in a PG-13 film without bumping the rating up to R. Be Cool uses that word only once, in the first scene: "Do you know that unless you're willing to use the R rating, you can only say the F-word once? You know what I say: Fuck that. I'm done." For the rest of the film, several characters come close to using this swear word but are cut off or censored in some way before they can.
- The dancing scene between John Travolta and Uma Thurman is reminiscent of the one they portrayed in Pulp Fiction.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — A buyer from Qatar agreed to buy the private banking division of Belgium's KBC Group for just over euro1 billion Monday, adding to the wealthy Arab nation's growing portfolio of European holdings.
Qatar, an OPEC member and the world's largest exporter of liquefied natural gas, has been increasing its European investments in recent months as policymakers on the continent scramble to contain the debt crisis there.
KBC said it will sell the KBL European Private Bankers subsidiary, known as KBL ebp, to Luxembourg-based Precision Capital, which it described as "a company representing the business interests of a Qatari investor." That language suggests the deal carries the blessing of Qatar's ruling emir, who holds near absolute power in the small Persian Gulf country.
Precision agreed to pay euro1.05 billion ($1.41 billion) for the private banking unit, though euro50 million of the total depends on the bank's performance.
Regulators must still approve the deal, which KBC said it hopes to complete in the first quarter of 2012.
KBC Chief Executive Jan Vanhevel said Precision plans to grow KBL epb and hopes to take advantage of its ties to the Middle East and Asia.
"It is also reassuring to see that a Qatari investor recognizes and values the strengths and potential of a European private banking group," he said in a statement.
Precision could not be reached for comment.
KBL ebp is based in Luxembourg and has operations in eight other European countries: Belgium, France, Germany, Monaco, the Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
The deal comes amid speculation that Qatari buyers might also be interested in buying the Luxembourg unit of troubled Franco-Belgian bank Dexia.
Belgium agreed to buy the Belgian retail arm of Dexia for euro4 billion on Monday. The governments of Belgium, France and Luxembourg together will provide an additional euro90 billion in funding guarantees for the bank for up to 10 years.
Qatar Holding, the Gulf country's main state investment arm, declined to comment on Dexia's Luxembourg unit Monday.
Qatar has long shown a strong interest in European companies, acquiring stakes in continental icons such as Barclays PLC, Credit Suisse Group, Volkswagen AG, and the London Stock Exchange in recent years.
In late August, Qatari investors agreed to pump 500 million euros into the merger of Greece's second and third largest banks. Earlier this month, Qatar Holding said it would spend $775 million to buy a stake in European Goldfields, which operates a gold mine in Greece.

Have you ever tried a cleanse or detox? Typically, this is a restricted diet with increased fiber, supplements and liquids for a limited time span. The main concerns with a cleanse are making sure you get enough fiber, water and don't miss essential nutrients.
High protein, lower carb diets or glycemic index diets are still the rage. And for good reason.
Are probiotics part of your daily routine? Recommended by your doctor for optimal digestion or for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)? These good bacterium have made headlines. They appear in a yummy yogurt line and many experts believe they can heal a number of conditions.

This model of leadership indentifies three clusters of leadership skills. Each of these clusters is divided into two to four types of skills. The result is this catalog of nine different types of leadership skills. We have used these nine types of skills to identify a total of 46 leadership microskills. The purpose of identifying specific leadership skills and grouping them into types and clusters is to flesh out the broad notion of leadership so that it is more tangible. The leadership skills in this model can be learned and practiced individually in order for leaders to build a wide repertoire of communication, group facilitation, and action-oriented skills that can be used in a wide variety of settings.
Three Clusters of Leadership Skills
I. Basic Communication Skills
II. Group Facilitation Skills
III. Leadership Skills for Action
Nine Types of Leadership Skills
Basic Communication Skills
1. Listening and Attending
2. Interpersonal Communication
Group Facilitation Skills
3. Engaging Individuals in Group Membership
4. Informing the Group with Relevant Knowledge
5. Involving the Group in Interactive Participation
6. Planning for the Group's Future
Leadership Skills for Action
7. Building a Team

As Mr. Ryan completed his first week as the Republican vice-presidential candidate, whooshed overnight to the highest level of American celebrity with its perks and poison darts, he might have wished once or twice that he was in Colorado, climbing another Fourteener, which is how he had planned to spend the week if Mr. Romney did not call.
State troopers now block interstate highway traffic to allow his motorcade to pass. At the same time, on Friday TMZ posted a picture of him shirtless, and he has experienced a head-spinning level of scrutiny from every detail of his record in office to whether his suit coats are cut too big.
He stumbled a little under the intense exposure, denying he had requested funds from the federal stimulus while denouncing it in 2009 as a "wasteful spending spree." That was Wednesday. By Thursday, he said that he had taken a closer look at his records and acknowledged requesting money on behalf of conservation groups from his Wisconsin district.
Over all, Mr. Ryan easily passed the "deer in the headlights" test that undermined the rollout of an earlier Republican vice-presidential pick, Dan Quayle, in 1988.
He has drawn crowds in the thousands in Colorado, Nevada, Ohio and Virginia, who applauded throughout his 20-minute stump speech even at lines that offer only medium-rare meat.
He has had at least two years of tempering as a Republican lightning rod for his aggressive House budgets. And he says he has led more than 500 town hall meetings about Medicare, a topic already heating up the summer.
With that in mind, Mr. Ryan has been prepping for his two biggest challenges before Election Day: an October debate with Vice President Joseph R. Biden, Jr., whose expertise in foreign affairs should put Mr. Ryan on the spot, and his acceptance speech at the party convention in less than two weeks.
In advance of the debate, Mr. Ryan has had policy briefings with Dan Senor, a senior adviser to Mr. Romney who is an expert on Israel and the Middle East, and also crafts speeches. On Tuesday, Mr. Senor boarded the candidate's plane in Denver with two fat briefing books under his arm. They later were open on a table at the front of the plane as Mr. Ryan pored over them on the flight to Las Vegas.
His front-of-the-plane entourage also includes two venerable Republican speechwriters working on his convention address, John McConnell, who worked for President George W. Bush, and Matthew Scully, who wrote the Sarah Palin speech four years ago that electrified the party.
But unlike Ms. Palin, Mr. Ryan has no need to introduce himself to the party base, which knows and loves him already.
While vice-presidential candidates are usually given the job of attack dog, letting the candidate at the top of the ticket strike a statesmanlike tone, this has not been Mr. Ryan's job, as widely expected. The roles were reversed this week, with Mr. Romney charging that Mr. Obama "disgraced the presidency" and telling him to take his "campaign of division and anger and hate back to Chicago."
Mr. Ryan, for now, has been the portrait of amiability on the stump.

Lindsay is one of the owners of the Board Room, a new bar where people are able to rent board games. The bar, located near Dupont Circle, had its soft opening Tuesday.
Tell me a little bit about Board Room.
We thought, "What's a fun activity that you can do to while away the hours and to socialize?" and the answer was board games. And instead of just doing your usual suspects like cards and Connect Four, which we have, we thought, "Let's expand that even more and let's offer kind-of nostalgia-based board games like Mouse Trap, Operation, Don't Break the Ice, backgammon, chess, checkers, Scrabble, Yahtzee, Taboo, Risk, Trouble, Sorry." ... We basically wanted this bar to be kind of like a really cool place to hang out if there was a snow day. So just chock-full of activities and things that aren't run-of-the-mill and aren't everyday.
We have a vintage 100-disc jukebox and we also have a number of vintage coin-operated games. ... The idea is come for a drink and stay because you're meeting new people or you have a group outing and you're having a good time.
What's your favorite board game?
We are big fans of Scrabble here. All of our employees are Scrabble fans and we have Scrabble tournaments. We also play a ton of Yahtzee and we've really been playing a lot of the "Pac-Man," "Ms. Pac-Man." We've been enjoying unpacking the games. We played Operation [the other] night for a couple of hours, and it's fun to revisit those games.
What's your least favorite board game?
To be honest with you, I think I've done Connect Four kind of to death. It limits what you can do with it because you can only play with two people.

Milwaukee Talks: Brewers announcer Cory Provus
(page 2)
OMC: Your colleague at WTMJ, Wayne Larrivee, experienced a similar situation when he joined the Packers after years as the Bears. I imagine you listened to Wayne while you were growing up. Was he an influence on you?
CP: Absolutely. I heard Wayne do Bears games, Bulls games, college games. I have vivid memories of Wayne doing Bears games with Hub Arkush and Dick Butkus. I was a huge fan of Wayne's. He's a terrific announcer. I can't wait to meet him and get to talk to him a bit.
OMC: In terms of nuts and bolts, will your job description be like Jim Powell's? Will you do the third, fourth and seventh innings?
CP: That's right.
OMC: I don't now if it's the norm in baseball anymore, but Jim and Bob didn't engage in a lot of cross-talk during each other's innings. Do you envision doing some of that?
CP: I think that's something you have to go through. Ask me again two months from now and I'll have a better feel for that. I'm looking forward to talking to Bob about baseball. He knows so much about the game and I'm sure things will come up. During an exhibition game down here (in Arizona), Bob was talking about Mike Matheny and something popped in my brain about an article I read about big-league catchers who became managers. It led me to ask "did you have any managerial aspirations?" There will be times when I get Bob's input on things.
OMC: One of the things that Jim Powell did during his years with the Brewers was to embrace the minor leagues. Some listeners loved it and some people thought it was excessive. Of course, when the team wasn't playing well there weren't a lot of other things to talk about. What is your take on the minors?
CP: As we've seen throughout baseball, having a strong farm system is vital to success. I'm anxious to follow the guys we have in the minor leagues, because I've been impressed with some of the guys I saw during spring training.
OMC: Which guys caught your eye?
CP: Well, Brewers fans already know about Mat Gamel and Alcides Escobar, who looks like he is going to be a terrific player. I was watching Lorenzo Cain and Nick Green, the pitcher the Brewers picked up from the Angels. There are afew guys that I look forward to following.
OMC: To me, so much of baseball broadcasting is based on familiarity. You watch guys play over a period of time and talk to them in the clubhouse and develop a rapport and a mental file on them. You might have a conversation with a guy in spring training about his experience in college or in the minor leagues and it may pop into your head in August and work its way into a broadcast. You're starting from scratch with most of these guys. What is that process like for you? How do you go about meeting the guys?
CP: I've kind of been taking my time with it. I didn't want to try to meet the team all at once. I've talked to a few guys and introduced myself. I talked to Braden Looper and Chris Capuano the other day and they seemed like nice guys. Once we get into the season, there will be a lot more time to do that. Everybody will be in the clubhouse and there will be routines. That's one of the great things about baseball is that you have downtime not only at the ballpark, but on the buses and waiting for planes. I didn't want to come in and shake hands like a politician and get to know everybody on the first day. The guys that I've spoken to so far -- Craig Counsell, Billy Hall, J.J. Hardy -- they've all be great.
OMC: What about the "evil" media?
CP: That's another difference from Chicago. In terms of the guys who are at the ballpark every day, it's a more intimate group. I've seen the same three people every day. In Chicago, it was a larger group and with that small clubhouse at Wrigley, it made it hard to move around. There was no place for the players to get away. I don't think that will be the case here. That's just another benefit of this job.
OMC: Final question -- how will the Brewers do this year?
CP: This is a dynamic offensive club that is going to hit put some runs on the board. Like a lot of teams, it's a question of how the pitching will hold up. None of the national experts seem to be giving the Brewers much of a chance. Maybe they'll use that as motivation.

It's going to take some time for us to get used to a Cubbies announcer but time heals all wounds but he is still a Cubs announcer in my eyes and I want Jim Powell back.

The Last Days of Tolstoy
by V. G. Chertkov
Publisher: William Heinemann 1922
Number of pages: 186
So much misunderstanding, misrepresentation, partiality and personal prejudice has accumulated in connection with the last years and days of Leo Nikolaevitch Tolstoy's life, that before starting upon this first detailed account of his 'going away' I find myself compelled, at the risk of wearying the reader's patience, to begin with a somewhat lengthy introduction.

Research Calendar
A research calendar or log is essential for keeping track of sources consulted, whether your results are positive or negative. Knowing what resources you have already looked at helps you develop a plan for continued research. I like this particular research calendar, because it keeps my research citations, notes, and references to files in one place. There is an instruction sheet in the workbook that explains further how to use it.

Re "Bill to add 80 mph speed zones clears another milepost" (Tribune, Feb. 12):
Who are we kidding with the 80 mph speed limit in only non-urban areas?
I have driven the Interstate 15 corridor through the Salt Lake Valley for the past 30 years and the de facto speed limit is 80 mph. If you are going slower than that, every vehicle is crawling up your tailpipe.
Speed limits don't exist anymore, except in school zones.
If the Utah Highway Patrol is not planning on doing any enforcement, why bother the Legislature with changing it?
