Under its influence, the tender heart became stone, and the lamblike disposition gave way to one of tiger-like fierceness.
Henderson was not always of the lamblike demeanour which he displayed in the turret.
He looked a lamblike pacifist as he sat fingering his straw hat diffidently.
They knew that Jack Walthall wasn't at all lamblike in his disposition.
The ideal man for whom I am looking will not be too lamblike, even in love.
Robert, the honest, lamblike man, who strikes us now as being a conscientious follower of the school of David!
Mrs. Hanway-Harley could only gaze and gaze, while Richard's look of slyness gained in lamblike intensity.
He went with a limping step, into which he injected a suggestion of lamblike gambols.
He would walk into the shop with his penny in his mouth, well displayed, and a sweet and lamblike expression in his eyes.
Whether the name was given to her because of her lamblike innocence or otherwise, is not recorded.

A new beta patch has launched for Soldak's space-based action-RPG Drox Operative. The 1.012 beta patch features a significant number of tweaks. A few of the adjustments include races paying less for players to break treaties, ancients and bounty hunters dropping better loot, races at war with the player refusing to sell jump gate activations, and lesser-habitable planets being more difficult for races to colonize. Over two dozen of the changes have been listed below, and the full patch notes can be found here.
For more information on Drox Operative, check out our review.
Drox Operative is available for Mac and Windows PC.
• now races remember 3rd party peace and war treaties for 20 minutes – can't get same treaty again during this time and they will get angry at you if you go against the agreement (Nelway)
• races now pay Operatives less to declare war on someone
• races that you are at war with will no longer sell you jump gate activations
• now races will pay less for player to break treaties
• now cancelling a treaty with a race permanent increases their natural hate for the cancelling race or Operative
• fixed a potential crash in PlayerCovenantClient::tradeRequestExpired and PlayerCovenantClient::ignoreTradeOffer
• ancients now drop better loot
• doubled search for enemy prices
• now print a message when a race is paid to declare war on another race

• no longer get the benefit of being able to see systems with a quest from an enemy
• can no longer get paid to go to war when you're in a ceasefire (Amelie)
• increased ceasefire price by 50%
• race natural hate always applies to Operatives now (was spared if they were already in a war)
• decreased ResistanceReasonablePerLevel from 6.0 to 4.0 (makes resistances more powerful)
• changed GuardedPlanetDamageMult from 0.5 to 0.25 (harder to destroy guarded planets)
• bounty hunters now drop better loot
• now a race that captures a planet gets some of the conquered race's credits
• increased chances of zombies spreading from 0.2 to 0.3
• fixed a problem indirect peace treaties not working
• can no longer sell fighter tech to races (they don't use it)
• searching for a good no longer tells you about goods that are too low level
• radar stat on components now has a value
• changed paid to break treaty to always see (not just if against player)
• added race name to most quest announcements
• now on quest list from stars show which ones have and don't have (different colored *)

Business Law
Ask a Business Lawyer. Get Business Law Questions Answered ASAP.
$120.50.....there was a total of $225.50 in charges, there were 7 seperate charges to my acct. I have never had any insf fees on my business acct before except when this same company did this before. The first time the bank refunded me the fees because they saw that I was refunded the invoice chrg from the co. But the bank did not cover any fees this time. I am also concerned with how this will look when i go to apply for business loans. I dont know. I feel that I should have punitive damages as well they are being very arrogant and have lied in the response that they sent to the attorney general...it's so not right. But I had to cover the $120.50

The Conversation, the new project from Andrew Jaspan, former editor of The Age, has been launched.
The website, which promotes itself as "an independent source of information, analysis and commentary from the university and research sector" has gone live as a beta site, meaning it is still a work-in-progress.
Its stated aim is to make academic research accessible to the general public by passing it through a journalistic filter. Its staff consists largely of editors — including former Age journalist, Crikey editor and Media Watch researcher Misha Ketchell as managing editor — and technical crew.
The site's content is provided by academics from Adelaide, ANU, Melbourne, Monash, NSW, Queensland, Sydney and Western Australia — the so-called "group of eight" — universities, plus University of Technology Sydney (UTS), the CSIRO and the Australian Science Media Centre.
Funds for the project were provided by ANU, Monash, Melbourne, UTS, University of Western Australia and the CSIRO. It has secured funding of about $7 million over three years, and aims to become self-sufficient by the end of that period.
Though physically based at Melbourne University, the site is independent of it. It is owned by The Conversation Trust, a not-for-profit organisation.
In a "foundation essay" on the site, Nobel Prize winner and former Australian of the Year Peter Doherty outlined the reasons for creating The Conversation.
"Science is increasingly up against deliberate disinformation," he wrote. "We see this currently with issues such as climate change and childhood vaccination, where committed organisations and individuals will, for whatever reason, seek to discredit the reasoned scientific consensus reached by active researchers and responsible professionals."
Professor Doherty criticised the mainstream media for "failing to report major news items and well-developed analysis that could throw doubt on their particular editorial 'spin'," but didn't spare his scientist colleagues either. "While they might like to get this or that general message across to a broader public, they have little idea how to go about it."

Re: Curve-fitting/data analysis question...

So I ended up doing the following:
For each point p in my interval, I constructed two models - a linear
one using the points to the LEFT of p, and an exponential one using
the points to the RIGHT of p. I ran chi-squared to see which model p
belongs to. At the beginning, LEFT wins pretty much every time. When
RIGHT started winning is where I called the cut-off.
Does that seem to be a mathematically defensible approach?
Thanks for all the suggestions - the method above is something of an
amalgamation of all of them.

There have been many of arguments for/against Tobirama's potential strength. I believe the latest chapter has placed it more in a tangible perspective. In the latest chapter, we saw Tobirama deal a fatal wound to Izuna Uchiha. How does this really add anything to his hype? Check it out:
It was stated that pre-EMS, Madara and Izuna were equals.
Then they were able to awaken their MS. Madara took leadership of the clan due to his elder status, not strength.
Now here we see Tobirama fatally wounding Izuna with kenjutsu.
Do note that this was BEFORE he was rendered blind.
So, if Izuna and Madara Uchiha were equal in "Every way", and this continued to be true with even the MS awoken, then it is safe to say Tobirama was stronger than a pre-EMS Madara (the pinnacle of his power). Some may argue that I am using "ABC logic" but this is the clearest cut-case of how to accurately assess someone's hype. Tobirama fanboys, rejoice. Madara fanboys, breathe.

From grilling hot dogs to detailing cool cars, Muna puts customers first
If you're familiar with Mazen Muna, it's probably for his five Dogg Haus restaurants spread around Milwaukee. But Muna's first love was cars, not hot dogs, and for the last five years, he's had the chance to look a Milwaukee's nicest ones every day. That's because in addition to sausage joints, he owns Metro Hand Car Wash & Detailing, a high-end auto care shop right in the heart of Downtown.
With an eye on the little things, Muna has quietly built up this extremely high-end detailing shop with big-name clients, but he also prides himself on running a place where anyone can feel welcome.
"Cars have been my hobby since I was a little boy," says Muna, who's first job was working at car rental companies in college. "I have had personally bought and sold over 50 cars in my lifetime thus far."
As for Metro, 1510 N. Van Buren St., Muna was a customer here when it was East Bay car wash, but wasn't impressed with the work – so he bought the business in 2009 and renovated it over the course of a month.
So what's the difference between a good detailing shop and a bad one?
Says Muna, "You have to understand what your customer is looking for. We are not a 'salesy' place. We do not sell what the customer doesn't need. We recommend things based on what the vehicle needs – what's in the best interest of the vehicle and in the best interest of the customer."
With that attitude, Muna says most of his clients are repeat customers – frequently pulling up in Lamborghini Gallardos, Mercedes SLS AMGs or "Bentleys, all day long," he says.
"If you don't know where all the compartments are on a Porsche 911, you're not going to get the Porsche 911 completely clean. There's about eight compartments in a Porsche 911 that open and close that you would never even know exist. In a Mercedes S Class, you have about six in the doors and underneath the seats that are actually hiding places," says Muna.
Using environmentally-friendly cleaning supplies, Muna and his handful of longtime employees also get to know their customers' vehicles. "We know the majority of our customers by name. We know the little dings and the illnesses of their cars."
And that knowledge matters, he says. "To actually detail cars is not simply the act of cleaning. When you're detailing you need to know that this piece of equipment and this chemical is permitted to use."
Not surprisingly, Metro isn't the cheapest place in town, but Muna says his prices are competitive.
"You get what you pay for," he notes. "A gas station car wash might be $11. You drive through, and your car is dripping wet, and it's a chemical wash. Our economy wash is $15. We clean the windows. We clean the wheels all the way through. We dress the tires. We dry the car by hand. We clean the door jams."
Muna's top of the line product is $270, and he performed that service on my 2014 BMW 428i for this article. I can say that my car came in pretty dirty and left a few hours later looking cleaner and more sparkling than when I bought it. Inside and out, it was perfect.
Says Muna, "When a car is bought, it's already clean. They prep it. They rip the plastic off the floor. They screw in the antennas, put in the appropriate fuses, do what they need to do, run it through the wash, some kid dries it off, sprays the tires down with tire dressing and gives it to you. You drive two blocks down, the tire dressing is flinging up all over the car. We apply it with a paintbrush, and if there's excess, we wipe it off because we know once you go 60, we don't want any 'over sling' coming off of your tires onto the body of your car."
In all, the auto detailing business is quite different from the sausage business.
"The most important thing in either business is the people," says Muna. "I have to keep my internal customers happy in order to make my external customers happy. My employees and I have a relationship that is a very strong relationship, meaning that they understand, and they see the vision and the long-term opportunity with either of the businesses. Whether it is selling a $270 detail package to a customer or whether it's selling a hot dog, every customer is treated with respect, they're listened to, and we like to give them what they want."
And Muna still gets his hands dirty at both jobs.
"I'm here on Saturdays. I wash cars. I'm cleaning rims. I'm vacuuming. I'll see a customer here, and I'll get his 911 cleaned up on a Saturday during the day. I'll go home for a couple of hours, rest, then I'll hop down to Cathedral Square for a while. I'll go across, and say hi to the guys at Taylor's, and I'll see the car. I'll see the customer, and he says, 'What are you doing?' I'm like, 'I'm working.'
Whether he's detailing the cars of Milwaukee Bucks or Brewers, or off-duty Milwaukee Police officers, Muna says he still enjoys the work. And he's open to the idea of opening more locations, as he's done with the Dogg Haus.
Says Muna, "It creates a good work ethic when the owner is not lazy, and the owner is just not an it or a check. This is therapeutic for me."

Its great to hear about, and see, a younger generation of Milwaukee entrepreneurs.

Magnum Revolver
Hands up and give me all your money!
The Magnum Revolver is one of the most powerful handguns ever. It is a very popular weapon in the police forces and in the army. It was also the characteristic weapon of many tv and movie charachters. Just think about Kojak, whose bald head and lollipop are unforgettable until this very day. The Magnum Colt is the ultimate American firearm, just like the AK 47 is the ultimate Russian one. A status symbol for weapon fanatics.
The Magnum Revolver made of elegant black metal looks just like the real thing. So beware! This fake colt is not like the usual toy guns, but a movie replica, that adds the finishing touch to any highway cop outfit. The plastic handle has a small, silver-coloured engraving in the place wher you put your thumb. The cylinder can be opened and closed by means of a snap fastener on the side. The Magnum Revolver is the perfect accessory for the Police Uniform L or the Police Officer Costume .
Product information:
- Material: metal
- Colour: black
- Length of barrel: approx. 20 cm
- Diameter of cylinder: approx. 4cm
- Length of handle: approx. 10cm
- Width of handle: approx. 5,5cm

I usually write about investing in this column. Sometimes about a company, sometimes about a theme or a specific issue.
But this time, I'm taking a broader view. One that goes to the heart not only of the economic environment in which our companies operate, but of our daily lives. It seems pretty clear to me - and to most economists - that our budgetary position is unsustainable.
Tax receipts are unable to fund government spending. With each passing day, we're pushing the budget further and further into the red.
The culprits are well known, but can be neatly summarised: Governments committing to recurrent spending from the proceeds of one-off benefits. Remember those Howard/Rudd tax cuts, year after year? They were paid for with boom-time mining royalties and taxes on company profits. And the spending programs that have been committed to? They weren't any more affordable either.
And just like your household budget, when you find your earnings don't cover your spending, you have two choices: either boost your income, or cut your spending -- or some combination of the two.
Now, I have no doubt that a multi-billion dollar bureaucracy has plenty of areas where services can be provided more efficiently, programs can be implemented more judiciously (or not at all) and where payments can be more stringently applied.
But given the size of our budget black hole, to use that famous political slogan of years past, we're not going to be able to nickel and dime our way back to balance.
So we have a clear choice -- cut spending meaningfully, or substantially increase the tax take.
Pass the ideology
At this point we get into ideological territory. Depending on your perspective, you're either going to love or hate what I say next. Fair enough. But I'd encourage you to put your preconceived political leanings aside for a second.
Because, for the life of me, I can't work out how one of the most prosperous countries with a proud egalitarian streak can find sufficient cuts to government spending to fix the situation. Should we have less-educated kids? Poorer healthcare? A permanent underclass of people who can't afford the basic necessities of life? On the surface, it's easy to waffle about waste, dole bludgers and government largesse, but it's devilishly hard to find a decent amount of savings, even if you do try to tighten the spending screws.
So, if we aspire to be the 'fair go' country with opportunity to succeed, but with a strong and sufficiently high safety net, we need to work on the revenue side of the budget.
Six of the best
And, compared to finding cuts to health, education or welfare, this one is easy. Here are six simple starting points to help get the budget back towards balance:
1. Close multinational corporate tax loopholes. These are so big, you can sail an iron ore carrier through them. Marketing hubs in Singapore. Moving corporate headquarters to The Netherlands. Or Ireland. These are all designed to shift income offshore and minimise the tax payable in Australia. I don't blame the companies -- it's the government that permits such arrangements. It's time for an overhaul, to make multinational companies pay their fair share.
2. Get rid of family trusts. Family trusts do have some valid structural purposes, but are used mostly to reroute income, and hence reduce tax. Non-working spouses, retired parents and adult children can be deemed to be receiving these payments, and -- as they pay less tax -- reduce the tax burden of the family. Again, this is both legal and legitimate, but it's a loophole that needs to be closed
3. End salary packaging. There are companies that exist almost solely within the tax minimisation industry, and perhaps the most egregious example is the salary packaging industry. Why you should be able to pay some expenses with 'pre-tax' dollars is beyond me -- there's simply no good reason, and it should be scrapped.
4. Remove deductions for work-related expenses. One of the larger categories of deductions each year, work-related expenses, are part and parcel of doing your job and being paid for it. Ditto self-education expenses. If you need it, your employer should either reimburse you for it, or your pay should reflect it. It's not the taxpayer's job to underwrite those expenses for you.
5. Wind back superannuation deductions. This is the elephant in the room. Super is designed to reduce the government's pension burden, not to act as a tax-advantaged wealth-building tool for multi-millionaires. Nor serve tax efficient inter-generational estate planning. Concessional tax rates should apply up to the point your super allows you to no longer be a burden to the pension system -- after that, you should pay full tax.
6. Stop franking refunds. No, I'm not talking about franking credits here. I'm talking about those in pension phase of super who not only pay zero tax, but in addition receive a refund from the ATO of tax previously paid by companies on their dividends. Hypothetically, if Westpac was owned exclusively by self-funded retirees drawing a super pension, the entirety of the tax paid by the company would be refunded. That is, the government would collect a grand sum of zero on Westpac's billions of dollars profit paid to those shareholders. Let's see how long the government can operate when corporate taxes go to zero.
Foolish takeaway
Offended? Upset? Fair enough. No change worth having can be made without challenging a few vested interests. There's something in that list to offend everyone, but then, who's ever welcomed tax increases other than those that only apply to other people?
We live in a wonderful country. We have a terrific society that is the envy of the world. But, as it stands, we can't afford the things we have, let alone the things we want to do. Reversing some tax gerrymandering of the sort mentioned above will go a long way to addressing that imbalance.
Now, start the tomato throwing.

The federal government appointed one of Foreign Minister
A boat carrying an estimated 164 asylum seekers has been intercepted by Australian authorities. HMAS Glenelg headed off the vessel north-west of Christmas Island yesterday. The passengers will be transferred to Christmas Island for security, health and identity checks.
Separately, nine of 14 recommendations of a coronial inquiry into the Christmas Island boat disaster, which killed 50 asylum seekers, will be implemented by the federal government. Steps under consideration include acquiring jet skis for the island and establishing a mooring buoy near the island's Ethel Beach. AAP
West Australian police are treating the death of a 34-year-old Perth woman who collapsed after being arrested as a death in custody. Police on Sunday said Major Crime Squad detectives were investigating the cause of the woman's death, while Internal Affairs was looking at whether the arresting officers could have done more to save her. The woman was arrested in the southern Perth suburb of Armadale on Friday night after police were called to a disturbance in Kyogle Place at around 9pm. Witnesses at the time told ABC television the woman was bleeding profusely after having been involved in an altercation before police arrived

| As a consumer I would like to see a label on products that are made from or containe parts from cloned animals as well as labels on milk from cloned animals. The cloning of animals is still in the early stages and the long term effects of these animals and their products has yet to be determinded. You don't have to look too far into the past to see products brought to the market too soon to see the bad side effects. These side effects have now taken those products off the market. Besides why do we need cloned animals? Don't we know how to breed healthy strong animals naturally? We should not even be using cloned animals for food. The side effects could be disastrous. The health of the human race is too important to used in an experiment.

Ghost Recon 2 By George Damidas May 27, 2005,
11 :00 pm
The original Ghost Recon took the squad-based and one-hit-one-kill design of Rainbow Six from the confined corridors of office complexes and industrial plants and moved it into large outdoor environments. With such vast areas in which to operate, elaborate ambushes became possible, with the ability to command several squads. Ghost Recon 2 takes the series in an entirely different direction by moving the camera from first- to third- person and putting an emphasis on the gunplay by stripping out the planning and command aspects. No longer will teams be told where and when to go – instead, a four-man squad will be led with rudimentary orders through linear levels made up of confined spaces and dumb foes.
North Korea has attacked a U.S. ship without provocation. Trying to handle the situation delicately, the U.S. takes a defensive approach and gathers its forces on the border of the demilitarized zone. As North Korea prepares to invade South Korea, the U.S. sends in its Ghost units to assist its allies and undermine the invasion. As a Ghost, your job is to make the enemy suffer while avoiding all of the costs and tangles of bringing America's full military might to bear. You're supposed to use stealth, cunning, and the finest equipment possible, but what you will really end up doing is assisting your allies by running wild with guns blazing. Operation: Unsubtle is a go.
The Xbox version of Ghost Recon 2 had its faults, but it managed to survive the transition from serious squad-based fighting to arcade shooter fairly well. The GameCube version, on the other hand, is an entirely different beast. What exactly happened here, I'm not sure. Well, it is reminiscent of what happened with the original; that is, the Xbox got a superior port and the GameCube was left with a mess. Several years later, the same process repeats itself as fans of the little purple box are treated to new, inferior missions and an experience that manages to feel shoddy throughout.
Immediately noticeable is the graphical hit: muddy textures that make it extremely difficult to differentiate enemies from their surroundings. A forgiving targeting reticule succors to alleviate some of the sight problems, but it also makes the game feel cheaper. While the audio could have picked up the slack and helped to make the action feel more visceral, it never manages to go too far above adequate. Environmental sounds and gunfire are constant and satisfying, but they just aren't rich enough to evoke a sense that you are really crawling through grass or running on a bombed street. The voices given to your squadmates aren't bad, but, aside from being hard to hear, represent a missed opportunity because of poor dialog and some phrases being spoken out of turn. Somewhat distracting were the popping noises coming out of the speakers, which made it sound like there was a campfire nearby at all times.
The valueware sentiment is present throughout Ghost Recon 2, thanks to sparse menus, no multiplayer, loose map indicators making it a chore to track level progression, and models that are rudimentary in design; all of which is in stark contrast to the slick package presented in its Xbox counterpart. I'm not entirely sure why it the changes were made, but I do know for certain that they weren't for the better.
When you aren't pixel hunting for bad guys, you will be treated to some incredibly linear levels. The missions themselves, that is the objectives, aren't really bad; in fact, some of them are actually good; but the environments are designed in such a way that artificial boundaries – debris, tires, etc. – are set up to guide you down a set path that doesn't offer much in the way of options. Instead of flanking enemies, assaults are pretty much head-on, which tends to be a problem since the enemies quickly find out where you are and lay down firepower accordingly. This tends to leave you and your squadmates very few places to go to for cover. Any pretense of stealth – i.e. Ghosts being unseen and unheard – is completely done away with. This is especially the case when considering how lax your squadmates are in taking cover, since they generally just stand out in the open and hope for the best – they can be ordered to toss grenades, move, take cover, hold, and regroup, but they aren't all that effective when you're not babysitting them. Since the AI for both your side and the enemy is so sporadic – sometimes taking cover, other times running out in the open, or sometimes taking cover behind a small beam and just shooting the beam – the run-and-gun approach doesn't fail nearly as often as you might imagine, though failure is particularly biting, since while the game spaws handfuls of enemies at a time, it doesn't include a checkpoint or autosave system.
Without multiplayer options, there isn't much to do outside the main campaign. There is a training mode for newcomers, as well as a quick mission feature, to give the game a little longevity. The quick missions allow you to replay completed levels by fulfilling objectives (Mission), killing all enemies (Firefight), or going solo with a hybrid sniper rifle and machine gun (Lonewolf) - no, this mode doesn't help much. Throughout the missions points can be accumulated for things like headshots and the number of surviving team members, and these can go towards purchasing renders of troops, still shots of real armor, or unlocking in-game cinematics. While the cinematics aren't bad, the still shots are mostly disappointing.
The game does a couple things right, at least: it has very smooth controls and offers a few moments of excitement. The C button does a fantastic job - much better than I had expected - of keeping the targeting reticule floating smoothly across the screen. When an enemy is spotted, regardless of how much of the bad guy is visible, it's possible to pick him off without worrying about the cursor skipping over the target. The way the camera zooms up by hugging the soldier's shoulder is also done well, and it works perfectly with the ability to lean to the side, making it possible to stay covered and still have a good view of the field. The standard in-game menu system (holding down buttons to bring up radial menus) was also faithfully translated. Also, as I said, the missions are themselves usually solid, so sometimes the combat is fun - but it just doesn't last long enough.
Overall: 4.5/10
Ghost Recon was a fine title, and the heritage of Red Storm's Tom Clancy games has held up remarkably for nearly a decade, but this is certainly a black mark. In most respects, Ghost Recon 2 on the GameCube is a serviceable third-person action title, even with its problems, but, as a Ghost Recon title, much less as a game done right on other platforms, this port just doesn't cut it.

Amazon Prime – Totally Worth ItPosted in Personal with tags Amazon Prime, customer service on December 27, 2013 by jstevenperry
I joined Amazon Prime a year or so ago. Not only do I get free 2 day shipping on all my orders, they have fantastic customer service! So, I ordered some stuff that was supposed to show up a week before Christmas. Well, it never showed up. So I waited an extra week, just to be safe. At this point, I figured the package just got lost. So I started a live chat with an Amazon.com rep and in minutes I was told I will have a credit card refund. If I end up getting the items from UPS (I'll be over here holding my breath), all I have to do is contact Amazon.com for a shipping label and I can ship them back at no charge.
That's pretty awesome. I don't know whether or not my outstanding customer service experience today is because I'm a Prime member, but I'd like to think it is. If not, then all the more reason to shop with Amazon.com.
Hallelujah!Posted in Java, Open Source, Software Development on December 27, 2013 by jstevenperry
Anyone who uses the JDK Date/Time API knows it, well, sucks. Badly.
Joda-Time was created to remedy the numerous shortcomings in the JDK's stock Date/Time API. And it pretty much ruled for a very long time. Include it in my Maven POM and, boom!, just like that, I had a very good Date/Time API.
I wrote an article for IBM DeveloperWorks about Joda-Time in an attempt to share this news with those who didn't know they had to suffer in silence.
So imagine when I read this article at JavaWorld about JSR-310. Basically Joda-Time's (very few) design flaws will be fixed and the spirit of Joda-Time will be included in the JDK as part of Java 8 (at least, that is the plan). I'm sure that is not a completely accurate characterization of the situation, but basically the new JDK Date/Time API will be very familiar to anyone who has used Joda-Time.

Breaking BadPosted in Personal, Philosophy, TV on September 27, 2013 by jstevenperry
I began watching this show on a lark, and was hooked from the very first episode. I've watched them all (now multiple times, thanks to Netflix), and enjoy them very much. More than once I have asked myself why I am so drawn to this story of greed, obsession, lust, avarice, and raw humanity.
Walter White is a superbly intelligent individual. But he is also a deeply flawed human being. Several times throughout the show he could have walked away a rich man, and chose not to. Though it's not completely clear why he walked away from Gray Matter (which, ironically, would have made him more millions – legitimately – than cooking meth every did), a careful study of the show reveals that Walter always feels that his genius is unappreciated. So he sold his shares, left Gray Matter with a huge resentment and "a couple of months' rent", and subsequently slid into mediocrity. That haunted him until his diagnosis.
From the beginning we see a man on a mission, and it takes him from hero, to killer, to criminal mastermind, and finally to fugitive. Like the man, the mission is deeply flawed. Never feeling fully appreciated, his obsession (matched only by his brother-in-law Hank's obsession to catch the mysterious "Heisenberg") leads him down a very dark path from which redemption is hopeless.
That said, Walter seems comfortable knowing that what he is doing is illegal. He seems to grow more at ease with the terrible things he has done, but never tries to justify it in terms of "free markets" or any other such nonsense, and does not try to disguise stealing from innocent (if perhaps greedy) people as "Capitalism at its finest." In fact, he proudly declares more than once that the money he has acquired by cooking methamphetamine is money he "earned."
Perhaps the lesson is this: greed in any form, leads to destruction. Period.
Or maybe the lesson is, when you have 1,000 gallons of methylamine and you can sell it for $15,000,000, take the deal.
That doesn't make for very good TV though.

Washington DC (SPX) Jul 03, 2014
Many existing compact, high-data-rate millimeter-wave wireless communications systems use integrated circuits (ICs) made with gallium arsenide (GaAs) or gallium nitride (GaN). These circuits provide high power and efficiency in small packages but are costly to produce and difficult to integrate with silicon electronics that provide most other radio functions.
Silicon ICs are less expensive to manufacture in volume than those with gallium compounds but until now have not demonstrated sufficient power output and efficiency at millimeter-wave frequencies used for communications and many other military applications, such as radar and guidance systems.
Researchers with DARPA's Efficient Linearized All-Silicon Transmitter ICs (ELASTx) program recently demonstrated an all-silicon, microchip-sized transmitter-a system on a chip (SoC)-that operates at 94 GHz. This accomplishment marks the first time a silicon-only SoC has achieved such a high frequency, which falls in the millimeter-wave range.
"What normally would require multiple circuit boards, separate metal shielded assemblies and numerous I/O cables we can now miniaturize onto one silicon chip about half the size of an adult's thumbnail," said Dev Palmer, DARPA program manager.
"This accomplishment opens the door for co-designing digital CMOS [complementary metal oxide semiconductors] and millimeter-wave capabilities as an integrated system on an all-silicon chip, which should also make possible new design architectures for future military RF systems."
The all-silicon SoC transmitter uses a digitally assisted power amplifier that dynamically adapts amplifier performance characteristics to changing signal requirements. This capability allows for simultaneous optimization of efficiency and linearity-a key goal of all transmitters and power amplifiers designed to quickly deliver large amounts of data on the emerging, net-dependent battlefield.
"This SoC can support a range of modulation formats, so it's possible to communicate to multiple systems using different waveforms from a single silicon chip," Palmer said.
"Its efficient silicon construction will significantly reduce SWAP [size, weight, and power] requirements for millimeter-wave applications, including compact satellite communications ground terminals for frontline troops. These new capabilities will provide connectivity to more service members faster and at lower cost."
The DARPA performer for the all-silicon SoC is Northrop Grumman Aerospace Systems.

To avoid anything spiraling out of control, review company behavior policies with employees, hold the party off premises and limit alcohol intake.
Company Party, Company Rules
Patricia Weisberg is a partner in the labor and employment practice group of Cleveland-based Walter Haverfield.
December 8, 2013
Despite the best intentions by employers to host a fun event that celebrates a job well done by employees, numerous harassment, workers' compensation and personal injury allegations have stemmed from incidents occurring at holiday office parties or at unsanctioned after-party events. By being proactive, however, employers can effectively minimize their liability while still creating a fun atmosphere. Here are a few ways to do this:
-- Create, update and communicate written policies. Employees need to know, in advance, what types of behavior will not be tolerated. It is not enough to have such policies; they must be effectively communicated to employees before the event.
-- Limit the alcohol. Too much alcohol can have numerous consequences, especially for employees who intend to drive home afterwards. Although many states do not typically hold the host responsible for injuries to a third person by an intoxicated employee, there is always added exposure and negative publicity associated with such incidents and possible resulting litigation. In addition, excessive alcohol consumption can, and frequently does, lead to inappropriate conduct, which provides a basis for a sexual harassment suit. If possible, assign a supervisor to monitor and manage alcohol abuse.
-- Minimize focus on the company. Even though the party is obviously a company event, there are ways that employers can effectively minimize their liability for circumstances over which they have no control. For instance, host the event off premises (not on company property), preferably during non-working hours. Make attendance voluntary rather than mandatory. Keep the party a fun, social event and encourage attendees to avoid conducting business during the festivities. Don't allow employees to return to work afterwards or to drive while intoxicated.
A little preparation can go a long way, especially when it means feeling free and easy enough to celebrate the holidays alongside colleagues without anxiety or worry.

As I know there are many here who have BTDT, I would appreciate some advice!
A little history: My DS (now 7 mo) was "colicky" from day 1. I have been dairy free since he was 4 weeks but saw little improvement. Eventually around 10 weeks I realized that reflux, especially silent, was a problem and after trying mylanta and zantac, he started on prevacid and things improved. He became much happier and was sleeping 3 hour stretches, waking only to peacefully nurse right back to sleep. Stools were never really yellow and seedy, more greenish brown and sometimes mucusy, but never with blood, and always very regular (7am every day! Makes EC a cake walk :). I noticed restless, wakeful nights whenever I consumed corn, peanuts, or occasional dairy, so those were cut out.
Fast forward to 5 1/2 months and he was still happy during the day, but he quit sleeping. I am lucky to get more than one 2 hour stretch at night and more than 45 min for naps. He is also very restless/wiggly between wakings, cries and often arches rigidly when he wakes, and seems generally uncomfortable. (he sleeps on a pretty steep incline on his left side, nurses as upright as possible, etc). He also wakes at the same intervals and in the same way if I prop myself up in bed and hold him upright on my chest all night! At first I thought nothing of it - babies go through spurts. But weeks later we are in the same place but very, very tired!
First we tried increasing the prevacid dose on my ped's recommendation. At first it seemed like it was helping for 3 days or so but now I definitely see no difference. He is still on the higher dose for now but I want to stop if it is not helping, especially if he could be allergic to or having a reaction to the medication. We are going to see a GI specialist whenever we can get an appointment (my ped said probably 3 weeks) to look into the reflux and rule out any other GI issues that seem possible. I have actually noticed him doing the coughing/choking/gulping silent reflux thing occasionally recently, which I haven't seen since he was 3 months old.
Since I had already suspected some foods as being a problem, my ped suggested a 10 day elimination diet of only lamb, leafy greens, and brown rice. I have also been using coconut oil and a little non-iodized sea salt (mortons brand) and black pepper. He is still on the prevacid (I need to look up the inactive ingredients!), and I am taking no supplements or anything else. He has had a few solids (reacted to some, others ok) but was not eating much and I stopped to simplify this.
This is the 4th day and the last couple nights it has been difficult to tell if we are seeing an improvement because BOTH lower incisors are currently erupting at the exact same time, and that is definitely causing him some discomfort at night and complicating things! He is still waking quite frequently but it seems to be a little less, and he seems to be sleeping more peacefully between waking. I plan to continue at least the 10 days, but have a couple questions:
Do you think this is likely related to food sensitivities, just reflux, just teeth (this whole time?!), or just DS?? (my instinct says it is either food and/or reflux mainly and that he is uncomfortable, not just wanting to wake up/in a habit)
After 10 days if we see no improvement on my TED, what would you do? I know some things take longer to eliminate from my system/milk, especially dairy but we have been essentially dairy free (including watching labels) for months already. I don't want to go through all this and then give up too early. I am thinking of switching out the rice for quinoa and/or the greens for sweet potato at some point, does this seem like a good idea? How long would you stick with each thing before deciding it did or didn't help? I have read Dr. Sears info about his TED and I know it is said to add one food every 4 days to look for a reaction. So is 4 days enough?
I definitely don't want to keep DS on medications or put him through any kind of invasive testing if I can at all avoid it (especially since he is growing and developing well, and is happy when awake), and I also don't want to try to "wean" him from waking at night if the reason is that he is truly uncomfortable and not behavioral.
Thank you for reading my long novel and for your insight, this seems complicated and we are getting frustrated. It is hard to function on so little, broken sleep!
Kendra (30), mum to ds (2/14/11), and one . Pregnant with my due 6/10/13, it's a GIRL!!!
I just found the ingredients list for his Prevacid tabs: mannitol, methacrylic acid, hydroxypropyl cellulose, lactose monohydrate-microcrystalline cellulose sphere, triethyl citrate, crospovidone, polyacrylate, magnesium carbonate, aspartame2, glyceryl monostearate, hypromellose, magnesium stearate, citric acid, titanium dioxide, talc, artificial strawberry flavor, polyethylene glycol, polysorbate 80 and ferric oxide. (yucky :( I don't want him taking all this stuff...)
The citric acid could be a problem, right? Not sure about anything else...
Kendra (30), mum to ds (2/14/11), and one . Pregnant with my due 6/10/13, it's a GIRL!!!
Citric acid is almost always corn, unless it says specifically something else. What's the source of the "lactose monohydrate"? Is it milk? If so, that could be your problem as well. In my limited experience (my two kids with food intolerances), their reflux went away as soon as we figured out and removed the trigger foods. For me, yes it sounds like a food intolerance, but again, that's because my experience is coloring my view. If you don't get to baseline after the 10 days, I would switch the foods out one at a time - turkey for lamb, quinoa for rice, etc.
When you said you removed corn, did you remove all corn? Because it's in a TON of things. There's citric acid everywhere, and dextrose, maltodextrin, etc. (we avoided corn for over 3 years, that's how I know).
To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
longer searchable by allergen, but at least it doesn't have a virus!)
You can google a list of corn-derived ingredients, though I don't remember where I found it. Is he happy when he nurses during the day? That wouldn't rule out an allergy but the severely allergic babies I've met (including my own) were extremely agitated nursing most of the time. (Night time was more peaceful for us, but not great.)
"She is a mermaid, but approach her with caution. Her mind swims at a depth most would drown in."
Thank you so much for your reply!
From a quick search, it looks like the lactose monohydrate is probably from milk and could definitely be a problem. For that matter it seems that the "strawberry flavoring" could possibly also contain a milk ingredient.
As for removing ALL corn, no I definitely did not do that (until the TED). I was avoiding obvious sources because the reaction was apparent, but never even really avoided corn syrup or corn starch.
Initially I honestly didn't think he could possibly be THAT sensitive. I was a bit naive, being someone who has never had food or any other allergies. But now I see that it could definitely be a problem for him!
I decided to talking to my pediatrician about stopping the medication for a few days while on the TED to see what happens. I figure if things improve or there is no change, great! He can be off the drug! If things get worse but aren't TOO bad, I could start switching foods out to see if that helps. If things get a lot worse we may need to give the meds again, we'll see. I really hope we can get this figured out AND get him off the medication! Thanks again!
Kendra (30), mum to ds (2/14/11), and one . Pregnant with my due 6/10/13, it's a GIRL!!!
Before I start adding foods in after the TED, I will definitely look up the list of corn ingredients.
Actually, although he is quite happy all day long, the ONLY time he is fussy is when nursing. He ALWAYS has been, and will never nurse for more than a couple minutes at a time during the day, or take more than 2-2.5 oz at a time from a bottle. Often he nurses very little during the day (or when I am working may take only 5-8 oz during a 10 hour period), and this adds to his waking at night because I know he must be hungry. He does usually nurse a bit more peacefully at night but then will be wiggly/agitated, and fussy when waking frequently.
Kendra (30), mum to ds (2/14/11), and one . Pregnant with my due 6/10/13, it's a GIRL!!!
Our peaceful nighttime nursings were probably due to the fact that pain receptors are sleepy at night, too. In fact, ours got so bad that eventually my daughter would never nurse unless she had just fallen to sleep. (Unfortunately I had some bad advice from our first nurse and didn't investigate allergens in breast milk until long after the fact. Talk about guilt!)
"She is a mermaid, but approach her with caution. Her mind swims at a depth most would drown in."
So, it's been 5 weeks since I started the elimination diet and I thought I would update and see what you experienced mamas make of the pattern we have so far:
Ok: lamb, brown rice, leafy greens, turkey, quinoa, carrots, eggs, coconut oil, salt, pepper, herbal mothers milk tea, stevia
NOT ok: apple (the worst!), blueberries, brown sugar, plain greek yogurt (thought this was fine until he didn't poop for 4 days and gradually got more uncomfortable w/ constipation)
He is still EBF but I am hoping to add a food for him this coming week. Suggestions? Of course the GI doc says cereal...
Also, my pediatrician ordered a stool analysis and we saw the GI doc today but he said the test was "alternative" not "conventional" and he didn't know how to interpret it
If anyone has any thoughts on these results while I wait for my pediatrician to call, I'd be interested:
High eosinophil protein X (34.8, ref: <7) - allergy, right??
low n-butyrate (<0.11, ref: > 2.5)
low pH (5.1, ref: 6.1 - 7.9)
low beta glucuronidase (225, ref: 337 - 4,433)
low secondary bile acids (both LCA and DCA <0.11, ref: 0.65 - 6.76)
No parasites, yeast 1+, no Candida
Beneficial bacteria: Lactobacillus 3+, E. coli 4+, Bifidobacterium 4+ (good)
"Additional bacteria": alpha hemolytic streptococcus 4+, gamma hemolytic streptococcus 4+, Klebsiella pneumoniae 3+
(these are all marked as "non-pathogenic" but I don't think they are good! Can an overgrowth of these cause some of his diet-responsive gassiness???)
Thanks for your thoughts!
Kendra (30), mum to ds (2/14/11), and one . Pregnant with my due 6/10/13, it's a GIRL!!!
Sorry I can't help with the test results. I might add fruit like soft ripe pear or a starchy vegetable like sweet potato, both in cubes. If he's showing signs of allergies, I'd personally wait on the cereals, even rice, for a while longer. Solids at this age still should be for fun and experimentation, not for filling bulk.
"She is a mermaid, but approach her with caution. Her mind swims at a depth most would drown in."
I'm not a doctor by any means but I would think the high eosinophil proteins could point toward eosinophilic esophagitis or eosinophilic gastroenteritis, may want to ask your doc about this. The rest I'm not sure about.
As for the solids, I would personally hold off until you have more clarity. If you're EBF then solids aren't really necessary. We didn't start solids until somewhere between 9 and 10 months because of the elimination diet. But, if you're really wanting to add in solids I agree with what sweetsilver said about fruits and veggies. I would definitely not start with cereal, grains are hard enough for adults to digest much less an infant.
Hopefully your ped will call soon! :)
I blog about our life with food allergies and eosinophilic disorders.
The Klebsiella pneumoniae is an opportunistic bacteria. It apparently thrives on sugars and carbs, so rice (and other carbs and sugars) may not be a great idea until you get it under control. I also read that it loves iron supplements and FOS. I don't know about the other bacteria you mentioned. I just got my Metametrix GI Effects test results back, and I have very high Klebsiella too (8+). In my case it appears that my pancreas is not producing enough enzymes to digest food, so the Klebsiella have had ample food to proliferate. I have been taking betaine HCL and pepsin, which got rid of my candida overgrowth, but apparently isn't helping with the Klebsiella. My doctor has prescribed antibiotics for the klebsiella, but I may try Tanalbit and Viracin first, plus add in a pancreatic enzyme. Good luck!

Manila (AFP) Jan 17, 2012
Hundreds of thousands of people in the southern Philippines are in dire need of help one month after devastating floods, but a global appeal for aid has fallen well short of its target, the UN said Tuesday.
The official death toll from tropical storm Washi, which destroyed entire villages built on sandbars and on riverbanks in two port cities on December 16, is 1,259, but many more are believed to have been buried or washed out to sea.
Meanwhile, another 222,000 survivors are struggling after losing their homes and need help, according to the United Nations Humanitarian Coordinator for the Philippines, Jacqui Badcock.
She said a "flash appeal" issued immediately after the disaster to help survivors for $28 million had attracted only $7.4 million.
"It (the shortfall) doesn't stop us from being active but there are many projects we could expand if we got more resources," Badcock told AFP.
"We could build more latrines, put up more temporary shelters."
Badcock said 26,000 of the survivors were in overcrowded evacuation centres in Cagayan de Oro and Iligan cities, while another 200,000 were living in makeshift shelters or with relatives.
Many of the evacuation centres are gymnasiums and schoolhouses, but this has caused problems with students having returned to classes after the Christmas holidays, according to Badcock.
"Right now, they are trying to strike balances in the evacuation centres where children are given lessons while families wait outside," she said.
Another growing concern is the psychological counselling that survivors of the floods need, she added.
Victoriano Kapayo, 30, buried two drowned children after the flood, and he said he was haunted by a third child, a six-year-old daughter, who remains missing.
"I feel she is still alive. I always see her in my dreams," he said at the gymnasium where he and his wife were being sheltered.

Copper seems to be quite the style these days - makes sense, given the wonderful rich metal tone found in older pieces. This demi-parure, consists of a cuff bracelet and matching clip-back earring. The finish is highly polished copper with a contrasting oxidized finish in the background. The bracelet measures 7/8 inch wide. It is somewhat flexible, so should fit a range or wrist sizes up to about 7". Each clip back earring measures 7/8 inch long.
This design is called "Espana" and is shown on page 125 of the book "Copper Art Jewelry: A Different Lustre", by Burkholz and Kaplan. All pieces are marked "Renoir" in script. There is a blemish on the back side of the cuff and a bit of minor wear right near the opening of the cuff, but are in overall good condition with unmarred decorative elements.

10. What do I need to know about teaching at Albany?
Short Cuts for Getting Started
Teaching Support, Consultation, Feedback, and Ideas
Albany Students and Student Support Services
Books, Course Packs, and Distributed Media
Short Cuts for Getting Started
No matter what your experience has been as a university instructor, there are a lot of resources you can use to avoid having to re-invent everything. The ITLAL Teaching Resources pages offer materials and ideas specifically for professors starting at a new institution.
Teaching Support, Consultation, Feedback, and Ideas
The resource page you are currently viewing is a service of the Institute for Teaching, Learning and Academic Leadership (ITLAL). ITLAL features a variety of Teaching Consultation Services, as well as an extensive collection of web-based Teaching and Learning Resources. ITLAL also sponsors an ongoing series of Events and Workshops for faculty and instructional staff.
Albany Students and Student Support Services
UAlbany has over 16,000 graduate and undergraduate students with diverse interests and backgrounds. Nearly three quarters of UAlbany's students receive financial aid and there are many programs to support students including Academic Support Services, The Education Opportunities Program (EOP), The Writing Center, The Disability Resource Center, Student Success, The University Counseling Center, and the library's Interactive Media Center. You will want to keep these programs in mind while designing your course and preparing your syllabus. You will also want to familiarize yourself with the Undergraduate Academic Policies of UAlbany.
Course rosters
MyUAlbany is the web-based information management system accessing your schedule, rosters, and information about your courses and students. Here you will also submit final grades and process "permissions" (through SKN's), which students need if you want to let them join your course above the enrollment cap.
Books, Course Packs, and Distributed Media
The University at Albany Bookstore will help you purchase textbooks, although you should check with your department to see if their ordering procedures are centralized through an administrative assistant. To create a customized course reader, you can contact Copies Plus (on campus) and Shipmates (off campus) to have copies made for students to pick up. You can also make materials available through electronic reserves (E-Res) in the library. If you want students to have access to films and videos, ITLAL offers a variety of services to allow you to digitize your existing media into formats that are exportable for a wide range of uses, such as in web pages and in visual or audio presentations. Our media services can also convert entire films from a variety of sources into streamable, password-protected files. Access to these files can be managed through your online course or through any course-related website.
You can find the classroom assignments for your courses by logging on to MyUAlbany. If you want to change classrooms, the process begins by putting in a change request through an administrator in your home department.
You can preview most of the classrooms on campus using the ITLAL Classrooms Page. This page lists the features of each classroom, and provides photos. If you need media support beyond what is already available in a classroom, Audio/Visual Services (442 -3647) can, with advance notice, provide you with portable equipment (i.e., TVs, slide projectors and portable computer projection systems).
Automated Test Scoring
ITS provides free, blank ScanTron forms for short-answer tests, and processes the completed forms. The Test Scoring Customer Service Center is located in the Lecture Center complex between the Arts and Sciences and Fine Arts buildings. ITLAL works with faculty on testing strategies, test item development, and distracter refinement. ITLAL can also provide examples and models of effective short-answer testing to measure higher levels of student thinking.
Blended and Online Learning
UAlbany uses Blackboard Learning System CE 9. The Faculty Technology Resources unit of ITS offers online and face to face training in CMS technology. For more information about the Blackboard upgrade and training visit the Blackboard website. ITLAL consultants are available to explore with you potential uses of these systems in your own teaching, through workshops and private consultations.
Technology Training
The Library's Interactive Media Center offers a walk-in service, tutorials, and classes to faculty who want to learn applications such as Web editors, audio and video editors, DVD burning tools, and much more. Information Technology Services also provides training sessions for applications such as Excel, Access, Dreamweaver and Photoshop. ITLAL currently provides one-on-one help to faculty who want to learn media conversion and editing.

One thing that would resolve this and is a nice-to-have would be the
ability to disable the implied rules - so for example, on the PPTP
server page there would be a tick box for 'add implied rule', by default
checked. Unchecking it would then allow the admin to add their own
I'd like this so I could have the PPTP server available to my wireless
LAN but not over the Internet (OK, I could block it at my router but it
would be nice to keep everything centrally controlled).
It would work much like the 'Disable webGUI anti-lockout rule' option.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- © 2011 - 2016 Bali Discovery Tours, All rights reserved. This message originated from http://www.balidiscovery.com/ Find it online at http://www.balidiscovery.com/messages/message.asp?Id=9175 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(3/8/2013) The January foreign tourist arrival totals for Bali are now in heralding quieter days ahead and a possible end to the month-after-month of escalating arrivals to the Island.
January ended with 212,657 foreign tourism arrivals, a decline of 14.35% from January 2012 when 248,289 foreign tourists came to Bali.
Although still early to begin predicting where the year will end, if the 14.35% January decline is emblematic of the entire year ahead, Bali will end 2013 with 2.47 million tourist, far short of the 2.892 million foreign tourists who came in 2012.
Arrivals by Major Market
Australia – Australian arrivals declined 9.05% in January against the same month in 2012. A recent survey declared that the U.S.A. has supplanted Bali as Australia's most preferred overseas holiday destination.
People's Republic of China – PRC arrivals to Bali declined month-on-month in January by 52.96% with 25,954 arrivals. These figures may be artificially depressed by the fact that Chinese New Year fell in January in 2012. Expect a boost in PRC arrivals in February – the month in which Chinese New Year fell in 2013.
Japan – The recovery identified in Japanese numbers in late 2012 continues with Japanese tourists to Bali improving 25.63% in January 2013 over January the year before.
Russia – Russian arrivals declined 3.4% in January with 10,591 visitors from that country to Bali. January tends to be a strong month for Russian travelers with the citizens of that country celebrating Christmas during the first week of the month – a time somewhat later than that holiday's observance in other locales.
South Korea – South Korean visitors to Bali showed improvement in January 2013, improving 11.61% to a total of 11,808.
Malaysia –Malaysian arrivals are stagnant, down 2.22% in January.
Taiwan – The decline in Taiwanese visit became more acute in January, down 33.23% when compared to January 2012. This represents a five-year low for the Taiwanese market for January arrivals.
U.S.A. – Visitors from America declined 4.35% in January, showing an end to a trend of positive guests from that market.
Singapore – 13.76% fewer Singaporeans came to Bali in January 2013 as compared to January 2012.
United Kingdom – the U.K. has been turning in strong growth performance, prompting Garuda to announce a recommencement of London flights for later in 2013. U.K. arrivals improved 1.09% month-on-month for January.
France – French visitors decline by 1.46% in January, down to 5,188.
India – India is fast emerging as a player in Bali tourism. Arrivals increased 54.32% month-on-month for January 2013 with 4,493 visitors.
The Netherlands – Holland continues to ail, declining a further 19.22% in January when compared to the same month in 2012.
Germany – 4.43% more Germans came to Bali in January 2013, as compared to January 2012.
Arrival By Geographical Region
When the Asia-Pacific and ASEAN are combined this results in a whopping 72.58% market share of all foreign tourist arrivals to Bali. Moreover, if Indonesian visitors are added to the mix (estimated at 55% of all arrivals) – nearly 90% of Bali's visitors come from domestic sources and the Asia-Pacific region.

A niche for the Impossible

Entrepreneurship Guest Lectures: Rich Walker
Rich Walker's covers "one the sexiest areas" of entrepreneurship you may come across: robotics. He studied Maths at Cambridge, followed up two PhDs and five years ago became Managing Director of his company, Shadow Robot.
Rich has worked on the project for Shadow Robot since school; on and off, from fun and amateurial, his "vision of creative chaos" became his profession.
One thing is certain in the robotics business: boredom is not a common risk. Starting from the robots' building process, the criteria are not fixed. Each robot is built especially for a purpose; it wants to be 100% useful and therefore differs from the other robots in terms of structure, technologies, functions. The technologies Rich uses are often unusual ones: for instance, built into his robots are air-muscles. These are made up of bio-structures by which the robots' limbs are not as dangerous as those of traditional robots. From a marketing perspective, robots must be adjusted to certain needs: in particular, they need to resemble humans' bodies. They must be bipedal; the workings in their hands must "shadow" ours. Hands are a favourite of Rich Walker: Shadow Robot released what is considered to be the most advanced robotic dextrous hand –hence, its name "Dextrous Hand"- available in the world. At present, Rich is working on robots to replace human hands in professions where injury risks are high, such as in butcher shops and scientific laboratories.
The question Rich asks himself when building a robot is 'what is the robot going to do in the world?' and how can he do whatever he does intelligently. The business' competitors are not many and the requests for robots, because of the very small size of the market, end up being many. The markets which Shadow Robots looks at are mainly three: the industrial, the professional and the domestic. The first one is big in Asia, where the market for the whole "system around the original product [the robot]", such as the software one, is enormous. The professional market wants robots for two reasons: defence and services. Amongst the "service-robots", most popular is the robot for milking cows, which brings a radical change to the farmer's life. Domestic robots are mainly cleaning ones. A fourth market is the academic market: universities, for research purposes or sheer interest, are a main source of robotic request.
Each new business phone call Rich Walker receives entails a problem, one which often stretches Shadow Robot to "invent at the edge of art". Robots are beautiful because they cannot be planned for: they are created to solve difficulties. Their future? To go "beyond what's possible".

In 1930 Professor Jay B. Hubbell proposed to the American Literature Group of the Modern Language Association of America that it should gather into an index or catalog a record of the enormous amount of manuscript materials in American literature so researchers and users could readily locate the materials needed. Dr. Hubbell was then asked to form a committee to formulate a plan. The committee, made up of Professors Hubbell, Kenneth B. Murdock, Ralph L. Rusk, and Robert Spiller contracted the American Historical Association, which was planning a similar program for history materials. The two groups decided to join forces and compile a document relating to manuscripts of American literature and to all phases of American history. Funding problems caused this venture to stalemate.
The idea was kept alive, however, and in 1941 another committee chaired by Robert Spiller was formed and instructed to gather information on materials of American literary history. This committee prepared in essay form a
Using the material collected in the 1940s as a basis for renewed efforts, a new committee chaired by Lewis Leary was formed in 1950 to study the feasibility of continued work, since much of the previous work had been used in volume 3 of the
In 1951 a working committee was appointed to devise procedures and to commence gathering of data for eventual publication of such a guide. This committee was composed of Joseph Jones, chairman, University of Texas; Ernest Marchand, San Diego State College; H. Dan Piper, California Institute of Technology; J. Albert Robbins, Indiana University; and Herman E. Spivey, University of Tennessee.
The purpose of this project was to provide for scholars a helpful new aid in their perpetual search for new material. The first edition published in 1960 indicates the nature and scope of American literary manuscripts in over 270 libraries pertaining to approximately 2,350 American writers. The specific primary purpose, as stated in the preface of this publication,
The project was begun by compiling an extensive list of writers, publishers, and critics, and then formulating eight categories distinguished by symbols that would accurately record the extent and variety of holdings--manuscripts, journals, letters by and to, documents, etc. A checklist containing some 2,000 names of American authors was then sent to American libraries--academic, fraternal, historical, public, etc.--with instructions as to how to apply and to list the eight categories of holdings. After the holdings were compiled on cards a preliminary draft was produced and circulated for rechecking. The resulting master file of reporting libraries formed the 1960 edition of
With publication of this volume, the American Literature Section of MLA authorized continuance of the committee with J. Albert Robbins as chairman of the new group. In 1969 it was felt that a revision and update were needed. The American Literature Section of MLA again sponsored the project with John Albert Robbins as chairman of the editorial board, which consisted of Professors A.W. Plumstead, University of Massachusetts; Joseph V. Ridgely, Columbia University; Kimball King, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill; F. Warren Roberts, University of Texas; George Hendrick, University of Illinois; Edward P. Nolan, University of Colorado; and John Stafford, San Fernando Valley State College.
The 1960 list of authors was retained as a base and expanded to include 2,750 authors, publishers, and critics whose names were to be checked for locations and holdings of manuscripts and other papers. The United States was divided into first seven, then later, eight regions, with each member of the editorial board acting as a regional chairman. Each regional chairman then chose regional associates within his region to solicit and coordinate the holdings of the area assigned to him. During the first year J. V. Ridgely and John Stafford resigned. The Middle Atlantic region was divided into two regions and Professors Alan Margolies of John Jay College of Criminal Justice, CUNY, and Leo Weigant of the University of Maryland were chosen to replace J. V. Ridgely. Professor Thomas Wortham, University of California, Los Angeles, replaced John Stafford in the Pacific Coast area. Sixty-three regional associates were chosen.

Here's something else the networks didn't notice about on the evening news about Obamacare. Vice President Biden spoke to community health center leaders on Friday morning about the botched rollout. "You know, it got off to a slow start," said Biden. "The president and I were as frustrated as anyone....but it's basically fixed," he added.
Then he suggested Obama should be nominated for "sainthood" for his patience, as if everyone else was to blame for letting him down:
"We didn't help you much at the front end here, man," Biden said, adding that "My boss, my friend, Barack Obama is an incredibly patient man. I suggested after going through the first couple week I would nominate him for sainthood, that he kept his patience."
Justin Sink of The Hill elaborated:
But the vice president pressed navigators helping individuals through the enrollment process to reassure those purchasing insurance that "there's no reason to be embarrassed that it's complicated."
"You look these people in the eye. And the first thing you do is, you calm them down," Biden advised.
"How many people you'd spoken to you can tell by the look on their face they're almost embarrassed to ask you the questions?" Biden asked. "Because they don't want to feel stupid. … You dispel their fears; you put them at ease; and you walk them through the process."
Biden said it would be foolish to think enrolling "would not be difficult for people who never, ever, ever had insurance."
"Anybody ever thought this was going to be easy never, ever had insurance," Biden said. "Seriously. Assume you're a very wealthy person; you can buy whatever insurance you want. It's a complicated business. It's a complicated business. It doesn't matter whether you have a GED or a Ph.D."

Summer travel season is here, and for pets not joining the adventure, I encourage pet owners to discuss one or more options with their veterinarian.
Commercial kennels can be great, but they can be costly and stressful to your beloved pets. It is important to visit the facility, along with your list of questions about their care protocol. Personally, I like to suggest that owners bring their own food, to avoid or minimize tummy upsets, resulting in diarrhea or worse. Some facilities allow pet blankets or toys. Be sure to mark them adequately, and sign off on leaving them there. I always state to pet owners that the kennel owners and administrators may have the best intentions in mind, but the care of the pets often comes down to the responsible actions of the kennel cleaner instead. So, again, be sure you can be comfortable with the group you select. Other options would be to hire a pet sitter to either care for your animal at their home, or allow them to stay at your home. The latter obviously is a better option for most animals. Ask for testimonials in either case, and make your best choice. Always leave an information packet with any scenario, including emergency numbers for you and the veterinarian, as well as pertinent patient health information.
Taking pets along on the trip is very common these days. Whether you are driving or flying, the big point is planning. Where will you stay? Does your hotel accommodate pets? If it does, in most cases, you might need a health certificate, which is provided by your own veterinarian and offers relevant health and vaccine information. If flying, be sure to check with the airlines regarding special requirements needed, such as the sort of crate required. Very small animals may fit under your seat, while others will be required to be placed in baggage-holding or other related areas of the plane. Don't over-feed in any case, and provide a stable water bowl, if needed.
I always encourage pet owners to be sure animals have adequate identification on board. Collars with tags and names are useful. Some pets have tattoos, or better yet, a microchip that has important contact and other information. While driving, remember that frequent stops (about two to four hours) are appropriate for your pets. Be very careful about walking dogs around rest stops. Keep your pet very secure from escape or worse, from theft. On the other hand, please note that heat can be a deadly factor. Temperatures in the 70s, for more than 10 minutes in a partially closed car, can be dangerous. Heat stroke may only take minutes to develop to a point of serious concern. It would be a great idea to have a list of veterinary emergency facilities along your travel path, just in case. Again, I encourage minimal feeding of solids and intermittent water breaks.
Another issue relates to securing your pets in the car as you travel. Maybe a seat-belt device, crating, or, if sitting on your lap, do it cautiously. Some animals require a mild sedative or other pharmaceuticals like Dramamine or Benadryl to help with nausea and anxiety. Your vet can counsel you about other options.
Bottom line: Plan well and be cautious. Here's wishing you a great vacation adventure!
