Perhaps it was because the political class had gone into hiding, but American accents seemed most prominent among the lunching suits the day we visited this smart brasserie – one of several separately managed dining options in the Crowne Plaza St James hotel. Visually, it's a stunner. Beyond a revolving door and a sleek wood and blue-glass corridor, you emerge into a light-filled, semi-circular modern conservatory facing the grand Edwardian courtyard garden. Staff are attentive to the point of touchy-feely. Bank also stands out, from the plush anonymity of the hotel restaurant, for the liveliness of its food. Menus reflect the international-hotel setting by offering something for most tastes, from Brit and American favourites like fish and chips, caesar salad and steaks, through mushroom risotto to tandoori-baked sea bass. Thankfully, there was no sense of routine cooking in our delicately handled king prawns in tempura, served with a chilli and lime jam that was spicy without being crude. Crispy duck with chinese greens and sesame and honey dressing also had plenty of subtle, satisfying flavours. Prices are reasonable (both for food and the nicely varied wine list), considering you're in an upmarket Westminster hotel.

The Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute (the Statute) defines a negotiated grievance as:
any complaint--
(a) by any employee concerning any matter relating to the employment of the employee;
(b) by any labor organization concerning any matter relating to the employment of any employee; or
(c) by any employee labor organization, or agency concerning-
- (i) the effect or interpretation, or a claim of breach, of a collective bargaining agreement; or
(ii) any claimed violation, misinterpretation or misapplication of any law, rule, or regulation affecting conditions of employment.
Every negotiated agreement contains a negotiated grievance procedure. This is the exclusive procedure for resolving bargaining unit employees' grievances which fall within its coverage; the union is the exclusive representative under this procedure.
The negotiated grievance system is a full-scope procedure. That is, it covers all matters falling within the definition that are not specifically excluded by the Statute. (The Statute excludes from the negotiated grievance procedure claims regarding retirement, life insurance or health insurance, or the classification of any position which does not result in the reduction in grade or pay of an employee.) Management and the union can, through collective bargaining, exclude any additional subject matters from coverage of the negotiated procedure. For example, if the parties agree that grievances over performance appraisals are to be excluded from the negotiated procedure, these types of grievances would then have to be raised under the administrative grievance procedure or some other alternative system developed by the parties.
Having a negotiated grievance procedure is beneficial in that it provides an established mechanism of communication for the parties. The grievance procedure allows for the concerns/complaints of the employees and the union to be heard and addressed by management. Employees know that they can raise issues of concern to management and management is kept informed of problems in the organization.
Employees filing grievances under the negotiated procedure can elect to have the union represent them or they can represent themselves. They cannot hire their own representatives unless the union states that the private representative is acting for the union. (That is what's meant by the union being the exclusive representative.) Even if the employee represents him or herself, the union must be invited to attend any grievance meetings as these are considered formal discussions.
The negotiated grievance procedure usually begins with the grievant or his or her representative presenting an informal grievance to the first-line supervisor. If not resolved, the grievant can raise the matter up through the chain of command. (Each negotiated agreement details the administrative steps of the grievance process.) Once the final decision has been issued, the matter can be raised to final and binding arbitration by the union--an employee cannot raise a matter to arbitration.
The goal of any grievance system is to resolve complaints as quickly as possible and at the lowest possible level. Allowing grievances to fester has a negative impact not only on the grievant but with co-workers as well. It is always best to resolve employee complaints informally without ever reaching the formal stages of the negotiated grievance procedure.
An area related to negotiated grievances is alternative dispute resolution (ADR). Under an ADR program, alternate means are introduced to resolve employee complaints before a grievance reaches the final stage. Some ADR processes include mediation, peer-panel reviews, facilitation, etc. The goal of ADR is to provide an informal, local method for amicably resolving disputes at the lowest possible level without the need for invoking third party arbitration. Headquarters, Department of the Army, strongly supports the local implementation of ADR initiatives.

the parts you are describing as boring have been very entertaining to me. why must there be difficult conflict and drama? even though I don't see how there's not. I mean the dragon killed 90% of the elf clan that came to fight it, isn't that enough drama? or is that not shown in the anime? but yea, another rather important person will die soon, and that surely will have interesting implications. no idea if it will be covered be the 2nd anime season though.

- Xbox One "Bricked On Day 1":
it's not a believe. it's a clear fact that most of the time the console is NOT able to read the game before blowing into the module, but IS able to read it without problems after blowing into the module. and it is also fact based on years of experience that this can be repeated countless of times without breaking anything. i can imagine that console and/or module will break when you spit into the module though….

A great recipe! So simple to make! I halved this recipe to make around 15 biscuits. I've made these for valentines day for my boyfriend. I used heart shaped cookie cutters and instead of chocolate chips I used 100g of cut up chunks of chocolate. I then coated half the heart shaped cookie in milk chocolate. Wrapped up in some cute packaging these will be such a cute home made gift.

Badami Caves :
Badami situated in the once mighty capital of Chalukya Empire, homes the most stupendously carved caves in South India. There are four major caves carved on top of a hill. They are temples dedicated to different religions rather than just plain caves. Generally these temples are dedicated to Hindu and Jain deity. These four caves are carved out of Deccan sandstone and were built by the Chalukya Empire around 6th century.
Beach :
Beaches of Karnataka are an epitome of beauty, adorning the western coast of India with grace and calmness. It covers a length of 320 Km, being the best tourist attraction in Karnataka. These beaches offer you a world totally unique and picturesque. There is no better way than spending some quality time by the side of shimmering blue Arabian Sea.
Fairs and Festivals :
When it comes to celebrating a festival, Karnataka comes under the few states which celebrates the energy and enthusiasm possessed by the fairs and festivals. Throughout the year, there is a festival or a fair going on in some part of the state. People of Karnataka believe in making every event a special one where the most festivals are of religious nature.
Pilgrimage :
The state of Karnataka is embellished with few of the most divine temples in India. The temples in Karnataka were mostly built during the reign of Vijayanagara dynasty and Hoysala dynasty. These are hugely sanctified and sacred with great architectural elegance and grandeur. The carvings are done on the walls of the temples are done with intricacy and precision, is something that can be seen nowhere else.
Waterfalls :
Waterfalls in Karnataka are the unique and the best tourist attractions of the state. Explore the waterfalls and stay close to nature. There are many fascinating waterfalls in the state where the best is definitely Joke Falls being the highest in India and among the highest in Asia.
Widlife :
The state of Karnataka is also bountiful of its wildlife habitat, which houses some of the rare and endangered species. The wildlife sanctuaries in Karnataka are mostly situated in the foot of Western Ghats, making the sanctuaries splendidly picturesque as well.

The launch of a Russian rocket carrying an American communications satellite ended in disaster today after it plunged into the sea 40 seconds after blast-off.
Grainy footage of the launch being streamed online was cut shortly after 6.56am GMT when the space-bound vessel got into trouble.
The Swiss-based Sea Launch company sent up their Zenit-3SL rocket from the Odyssey Launch Platform in the Pacific Ocean on Friday.
However, the vessel – along with its Intelsat 27 telecommunications satellite inside - suffered a failure during the first stage of its flight.
It is claimed the rocket's engines shut off stopped automatically because its trajectory was wrong.
Odyssey sits on the equator and is a launch pad made from a converted oil rig.

For years I shied away from surfacing. It was organic. It was an uncontrollable animal that I had no idea of how to use. Frankly, it scared me. On top of it's alien-like qualities I felt it possessed, it also seemed to require an infinite amount of patience to actually create something. Tons of splines and points that FLOAT IN THE AIR! I mean they aren't even on a plane.Over the past couple of years, however, I've been forced to face my fears and learn to use surfacing. Y'know what? It ain't that bad. While pro surfacers (Mssrs. Lombard and Perez come to mind) would probably giggle like schoolgirls at my work flow, I'm happy to say that I can now create useable, and identifiable, surface models.
What I'm enjoying more, though, is being able to repair surface models. There was a time where I'd see a feature tree like this and give up before starting:
"But, Jeff, how did you do it?" you might ask. Perseverance, my friends, as well as the want to know how. One of the things I've always liked about SolidWorks is how user friendly it is. Add to that the plethora of independent users sharing their knowledge of various facets of the software, and you have an environment ripe for learning. (Good God, I sound like I'm working for a marketing company) You have to add in a lot of trial and error, too. The trial and error may be the most powerful learning too out of all of them. By paying attention to the results you get while trying to fix that stupid, tiny, completely annoying, dammit-how-did-that-happen hole, you'll learn a ton of what not to do's. It's one thing to read how to/how not to in a book or watch it in a video, it's completely different to feel the joy of winning, or the agony of defeat, yourself.
While I'm not ready just yet to design the next super car, I am comfortable enough to try. What are some of your memories from when you started surfacing?
The actual title is SolidWorks Surfacing and Complex Shape Modeling Bible, but that was just too much to put in the title.Ā Written by Matt Lombard, this book is part of the "Bible" series published by Wiley. Matt also wrote the SolidWorks 2007 Bible and is about to release the SolidWorks 2009 Bible.
On top of being a published author, Matt is also an accomplished engineer and a friend of mine (not that being a friend of mine is worth anything). That will have no affect on this review though. Anyone who knows me knows I don't pull punches. However, anyone who knows Matt knows he's good at what he does and he doesn't do things half-assed. The Surfacing Bible is no exception. Matt takes the time to not only explain the "how", but the "why" as well. For someone like me, who has limited surfacing experience, this info in invaluable. As with his other books, this one is for intermediate to advanced users. You do need to have a pretty good understanding of SolidWorks, and its related terminology, to be able to adequately use the book.
The book takes you from laying the groundwork to specialized techniques. There's a great section that explains what surfaces are that then seques into when to use them versus solids. There's a whole chapter on surfacing tools and how to use them, too. Throughout the book there are cross-reference links so you can easily find associated content. Matt also includes some excellent information on splines and 3D sketching.
One of the best features of the book, aside from the learning, is how Matt talks about limitations with the software and how to deal with said limitations. Bear in mind, this isn't done maliciously but to help. It goes a long way to making your job easier to know what to expect, and not to expect, from the software.
The actual "lesson" chapters are clear, organized and easy to understand. Matt takes the time to not only show you how, but tells you why and mentions other ways this or that could have been accomplished. The illustrations are easy to understand, as is each step. There's a chapter on evaluation geometry that covers all the various tools available to check your model (the check tool, curvature combs, etc).
As I've come to expect from Matt, this book is extremely thorough, even diving into post-processing (PhotoWorks, eDrawings). While I would have preferred a CD with the model files on it, a decision was made for a "Companion Website". I suppose, though, that by doing it that way it allows for changes/fixes to be made to any files that may need it. I could actually write more about this book, but I don't think it's necessary. Matt's knowledge of surfacing is well-known and he, seemingly, has put it all into the SolidWorks Surfacing and Complex Shape Modeling Bible. If you haven't done so already, I strongly suggest you buy one today.
I received an email today from someone wanting to know what I thought was the best SolidWorks training for your dollar; VAR training or something like SolidProfessor? He wanted to know, too, how I learned SolidWorks. I explained to him that I learned, in the beginning, through trial and error. Not a way I'd recommend.
His question got me to really thinking about what I thought was the best training for your money. When I started using SolidWorks, the company I was working for at the time wouldn't pony up the money for "real" training. It wasn't until a number of years later that I went to a VAR for some training. By that time, however, I didn't get too much out of it. Since then, I've had the opportunities to experience a bit more VAR training (both as a student and teacher) as well as trying out myigetit.com and SolidProfessor. Here's my take on things:
VAR training: It can be intense, especially for newbies. You're in a room with a bunch of other users, all with varying abilities. The class has to move along at a certain pace so that all the material can be covered within the allotted time. For some it can be too slow, for others it can be (way) too fast. Prices can range from around $400 for a 1-2 day class to upwards of $1500 for a 4 day class.
Upside: You do have a live person to be able to ask questions of, which is nice. You also have your fellow students to lean on should you get stuck. You get to keep the manual and you get a certificate suitable for framing.
Downside: Being stuck in a training room for hours on end, trying to absorb a ton of info can be extremely trying. Brain overload isn't uncommon. There were a few classes I taught where the students would come in Monday all jazzed to learn but by Thursday, were pounding the coffee and looking like they'd partied all night long. Once the class is over, you have a certificate and your manual, but no visual on how, exactly, the instructor created that widget in chapter 4.
Online/Video training: SolidProfessor and myigetit are the two most well known. Another up and comer that I've heard of is Inspirtech. I've tried out both SolidProfessor and myigetit, and liked them both, though it's been a few years since I've seen what myigetit has to offer. SolidProfessor, however, has a rock-solid setup. Their interface is excellent and easy to navigate. (You can search for either on my blog to read my full reviews of them.) I haven't had the opportunity to use Inspirtech. Prices can range from a low of $50 to about $850 per training package. Total cost depends on what package(s) you choose.
Upside: It's self-paced. Take your time on stuff you don't fully get, blaze through what you already know. You also get to keep revisiting your lessons (videos). Courses tend to be broken out a bit more than the VAR-offered courses.
Downside: If you have a question, the video won't respond. However, there are plenty of online resources (blogs, forums, Twitter) from which to get the answer. There is something to be said for having a live instructor though.
Do-It-Yourself training: I wouldn't recommend this. Sure, you can go through the tutorials and YouTube videos, but you're bound to develop some bad habits and practices. At the very least, if you insist on going this route, buy a book or two. "SolidWorks for Dummies" is a real book, though I'm not sure when it was last updated. There's the training books by the Planchard's, Matt Lombard's Bible series and Alex Ruiz's upcoming book. Devon Sowell has a new PDM Book out, and Rob Rodriguez has his PhotoWorks training manuals. Prices will vary depending on what the DIY'er chooses to do.
My overall recommendation? Online/Video training(No, not YouTube). I think you get a lot more for your money. Which company to go with? That's up to you. They all should have samples so you can decide for yourselves which format works for you.
My apologies to any VARs reading this. Some of you really rock, some…not so much.
Thanks to Andrew Paulson for prompting this post.

Being a games journalist, I try to keep my finger on the pulse of the industry. Even so, a game will sometimes blindside me, popping up without warning and capturing my attention. With games so mired in the PR hype cycle, it's nice to know that a game can still come out of nowhere and surprise you.
May I present...
The Mark of the Ninja Award for Most Pleasant Surprise in 2013
The first game I want to discuss is the iOS edition of last year's XCOM: Enemy Unknown. The rebooted turn-based strategy was a pleasant surprise in itself, being a startlingly good remake of a beloved classic that totally failed to make a mess of things.
I paid no attention to the iOS release, as I had completed the main game and figured that the iPad and iPhone version would be a pale imitation of its big sister. How wrong I was. When I booted it up, I found almost all of the content in the original release, coupled with a wonderfully intuitive touch-screen interface. I ended up playing it through to the end again, long after my review had been written.
Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch surprised me in a different way. I generally hate Japanese RPGs and avoid them when I can, but Ni No Kuni achieved the impossible, getting me hooked on a fairly traditional JRPG. The gorgeous presentation, by famed Japanese animation house Studio Ghibli, certainly didn't hurt.
Another in the category of "games I don't usually like" was Skylanders: Swap Force. I had played the series previously and never enjoyed it, so I was shocked to discover that this year's edition of the series was fantastic fun. The simple addition of the jump ability, plus some well-designed levels and big battle setpieces, completely changed my mind about Skylanders.
Over to you now, readers. Which games gave you a pleasant surprise this year? Share your experiences in the comments below.
The 2013 Screen Play awards are based primarily on user-suggested categories. On Friday 20 December, all winners will be announced.

They work alone, but are usually found in groups. Under-appreciated, under-paid, and unknown, big-league baseball would be much poorer without them.
They're scouts, and one of the best is Bill Marcot. An employee of the Parks And Recreation Department, Marcot works part-time for the Atlanta Braves.
These diligent men attend countless high school and college baseball games, hoping to find the next Willie Mays, Sandy Koufax, Derek Jeter, Lance Berkman, or Tim Lincecum.
Then again, this is akin to spotting Marlon Brando, Andrea Bocelli, Picasso, or John Lennon, before their genius was universally recognized.
Players of this ilk don't grow on trees. In a career, you're lucky to sign a few good enough to make a major league roster.
So when a young prospect slams a 95-mile-an-hour fastball the opposite way, an outfielder makes an over-the-shoulder catch, a shortstop throws from the hole nailing a speedy base runner, or a pitcher breaks off a nasty curveball when behind in the count, you know this guy is special, and will be spotted by scouts, who carry handy notepads and radar guns seemingly where ever they go.
A true story: When Miguel Cabrera, the first baseman for the Detroit Tigers, was 16 years old, he worked out for the Florida Marlins.
A scout asked him to field a few ground balls. After taking only one ball, the scout said he had seen enough, and signed him on the spot. A four-time All-Star, Cabrera helped lead the Marlins to the 2003 World Series title.
Marcot has watched hundreds of games, and written as many reports, but is most proud of having discovered two eventual major leaguers – retired outfielder Tony Tarasco and current Pittsburgh Pirates second baseman Freddy Sanchez.
"Tony's dad never said a word to me about his son,'" Marcot said of Tarasco, who was drafted in 1988 by the Braves in the 15th round. "He was very quiet, and would never make a big deal about how good his son was. He'd just sit there.
"But I could see how good he was. There were many times when I saw him hit mammoth home runs. I once saw him hit a ball to dead center, probably 400 feet from home plate. It's not too often you see a 17-year-old kid hit a ball that far."
Tarasco played for six teams over eight seasons and had a career .240 batting average.
Marcot said Sanchez, who played shortstop for Burbank High, wasn't tall enough at 5-foot-11, to play the position in the big leagues.
"They're looking for taller guys, with really strong arms," said Marcot. "His arm was good, but not to play shortstop. He'd have to change positions, which he did."
The Boston Red Sox drafted him in the 11th round in 2000, and then traded him to the Pirates, where he won a National League batting title in 2006.
Finding a gem isn't easy, but it hasn't deterred Marcot.

NAT is ugly, no matter when, where, or how you do it. A better idea
would be straight routing, unless you absolutely can't do that for
some reason. With NAT, you don't have true unimpeded end to end

DIY Felt Bag for the Sprocket Rocket2012-10-26 3 17 Share Tweet
My series from the selfmade feltbags continues. Now i made a bag for my Sprocket Rocket! Important for me is to have the bag on the camera while i'm taking pictures to have a strap!
You need:
- Felt (mine is about 2.5 mm thick)
- thread
- Scissors
- ruler
- pen
- knob
- Snaps
- Rubber band
- Screw from an old camera bag
- Ribbon for the strap
- Needle / Sewing Machine
I sewn a bag for the La Sardina in turquoise and one for my Diana Mini in magenta and thus the two felts to choose from. So i thought, i'm doing a mixed bag and took orange to stitch as an contrast.
For the bottom part, I simply placed the camera on the felt and framed it with a pen. The remaining parts I measured with a ruler or apply the felt on the camera to found out what is the most optimal size.
After I sewed all the pieces of the bag together, I thought about how I attach the bag to the camera in the best way. I have some old camera bags that I do not use. I have taken one of the screw at the bottom from the bag to attach to the Sprocket Rocket on the bottom.
That wasn't enough for me to fix the camera in the feltbag. After thinking about I came up with the idea with the rubber band and the knob.
Thus, the first cover for the camera was ready. Now the strap must be done. For this I used a matching ribbon. To beautify I just have sewn a braid on top and then attached to the case.
The complex on the bag was the top cover. The items I have cut by adding at the camera. Sometimes, of course, i blended … but ultimately it has actually fit. Then, still on the ground sewn a push button and go! But the logo I placed at the end yet :)
I hope someone makes also a bag for the Sprocket Rocket and shows it to me once!

Mike Andrew McLean: Peak Experiences
Recently, the Economist reported that living in cities can heavily stimulate parts of the brain associated with fear and anxiety. So even though 80 percent of Canadians live in urban areas, it's perhaps not surprising that we continue to seek out the wilderness—whether as image, ideal or intermittent vacation spot.
Such phenomena weave through the work of emerging Canadian photographer Mike Andrew McLean. Raised in Lethbridge and based in Victoria, McLean worked for three years on Range, a series that explores our relationships to some of the world's most-visited wilderness areas—Banff, Jasper, Yoho and the rest of Canada's mountain national parks.
"It began as an excuse to just go out to this beautiful part of the world," admits McLean via email, "and eventually developed into a series that I hope contemplates our relationship to these places, and why we feel so compelled to take photographs there."
Though McLean's sites are among some of the globe's most photographed, his series began with a rare conceptual condition—that he would only create portraits of people encountered by chance on remote mountain peaks. Often, this meant camping out with 40 pounds of camera equipment for periods of several hours. Later, McLean's project broadened to document general evidence of human activity in the parks, like patrol cabins, data receivers, signage, gates, bridges, railways, helicopter pads and weather stations.
The results are part picture postcard, part analytical anthropology—an uncommon combination.
"Historically, the Rocky Mountains and their neighbouring ranges have filled many roles in Western Canada," writes McLean on his website. "The landscape has helped to shape a collective identity, provided seasonal work opportunities, and offered recreational pleasures to countless visitors. But the histories of the Mountain National Parks are as varied as this geographic terrain."
In addition to Range's summer-long showing at the Southern Alberta Art Gallery in Lethbridge, McLean's work can also be viewed to July 30 in "Proof 18," a group show of emerging photographers at Gallery 44 in Toronto, and from July 8 to September 5 in "Cultural, Temporal and Imagined," a show of landscape in recent contemporary acquisitions at the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria.

Britain's watchdog on terrorism laws has urged the Abbott government to reconsider its controversial plan to abolish Australia's own independent monitor on national security legislation.
It comes as the government mulls tougher national security laws, including forcing internet service providers to hold customers' records for up to two years, as it grapples with the threat posed by Australians travelling to Syria and Iraq to fight with jihadist groups.
Some of the measures believed to be under consideration were recommended by the very agency that the government plans to abolish, the Independent National Security Legislation Monitor.
In his most recent report, the monitor, headed by senior lawyer Bret Walker, called on the government to consider revoking the citizenship of dual nationals fighting in Syria and Iraq.
The government should also consider giving the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation and the Immigration Minister the power to suspend passports quickly if intelligence officials believe people are about to travel overseas to fight with extremists.
The government has indicated it is considering both measures.
Prime Minister Tony Abbott on Monday repeated his vow to do ''everything we humanly can to stop jihadist terrorists'' returning to Australia after fighting in the Middle East. ''We've stopped the illegal boats. We will ensure that we stop the jihadists as well, because the last thing we want is people who have been radicalised and militarised by experience with these al-Qaeda offshoots … returning to create mischief here in Australia,'' he said.
In a rare move, British QC David Anderson has sent a parliamentary submission highlighting the value of the independent monitor on national security, which the government wants to abolish as part of its March ''repeal day'' drive against red tape.
The Australian model was based on the British office. No one had ever suggested abolishing the British office, he wrote.
''On the contrary, its value is frequently asserted both in Parliament and in the courts, as well as by NGOs, academics, community groups and government.''
Among the measures being considered by the government are controversial ''data retention'' laws, under which metadata such as the address and time of an email sent or a Skype call made would be kept by service providers for a set period.
The latest push comes amid growing fears over an estimated 150 Australians who are involved with jihadist groups such as the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, which has seized large swaths of territory in Iraq.
Social media was alive with angry talk on Monday over moves by Facebook and Twitter to shut down pages promoting jihadist ideas.
Shadow attorney-general Mark Dreyfus slammed the government over its plan to abolish the independent monitor. ''I can't think of a worse time to be repealing this agency,'' he said.

Mike Dunleavy and the Los Angeles Clippers parted company for good Tuesday, barely a month after he relinquished his head coaching duties to focus solely on being general manager.
Now that arrangement is over, with the team announcing his departure in an e-mailed statement. Assistant general manager Neil Olshey will take over Dunleavy's job.
"The team has simply not made sufficient progress during Dunleavy's seven-year tenure," the statement said. "The Clippers want to win now. This transition, in conjunction with a full commitment to dedicate unlimited resources, is designed to accomplish that objective."
At the time, Dunleavy said, "I thought, 'It's time for me to give somebody else a shot, you're burnt out on this.'"
After the Clippers lost 113-87 in Orlando on Tuesday night, they are 12th in the Western Conference standings with a 25-39 record.
Players were notified of the decision during interim coach Kim Hughes' postgame speech.
"At this point, nothing surprises me," point guard Baron Davis said. "We're moving in a different direction. We've been on the road, so there's not much that we know. You all found out before we did."
Dunleavy stepped down as coach Feb. 4. He was replaced by Hughes, then an assistant.
"I thought Mike was going to focus on being the GM and that's what I thought was going to be the course of event. I'm a little bit shocked it occurred," Hughes said. "I'm certainly disappointed for Mike."
Magic coach Stan Van Gundy said after the game he always respected Dunleavy as a coach and thought it was unfair to pin the blame solely on Dunleavy given the Clippers' losing history.
"It's just hard to comment on anything another organization does because you don't know why or how, and multiply that about 10 with the Clippers," Van Gundy said, drawing laughs.
"No knock on Kim or anybody else, but they haven't exactly taken off since the coaching change," Van Gundy added.
Olshey had been serving as assistant GM since before the 2008-09 season. Previously, he was director of player development, assistant coach and director of player personnel.
The team said he played an important role in several transactions, including deals that brought Marcus Camby, Rasual Butler, Steve Blake, Travis Outlaw and Drew Gooden to the Clippers. Olshey also was part of the planning for the team's last four NBA drafts, including obtaining Blake Griffin as the No. 1 overall pick last season.
Griffin has missed this season because of injury.
The move comes with the Clippers having significant salary cap space in hopes of luring a top free agent this summer, an effort center Chris Kaman applauded.
"I think that whoever's decision it was to get rid of all that money, they did a good job doing it," Kaman said. "They left a lot of space for next year and can go after a big-time player. That was kind of the goal."
In 6 1/2 seasons as coach, Dunleavy was 215-325, and Los Angeles made the playoffs just once in his first six seasons, getting within one game of the Western Conference finals in 2006. The Clippers haven't been back to the playoffs since, winning just 42 games in the past two seasons.
Last month, Dunleavy said, "I wanted to stay with this organization, see things through, one way or the other. I would have rather done it as a successful coach, but on the other hand, I can see ahead. It was going to be a tough struggle all the way through."
Lakers coach Phil Jackson took a playful jab at Clippers owner Donald Sterling earlier this year when he suggested karma might be behind his Staples Center co-tenants' long history of losing and misfortune. Sterling agreed to pay $2.73 million last year to settle allegations by the government that the real-estate mogul discriminated in his renting practices.
Jackson skirted the issue of Dunleavy's departure and the so-called Clippers Curse when asked about them before the Lakers' game against Toronto, saying the Clippers' future "is really all up to the owners." When asked if Dunleavy's former job was a no-win situation, he noted the Clippers' long history of respected coaches, including Bill Fitch, Larry Brown and Alvin Gentry.
"Opportunities are opportunities in the NBA, and somebody good is always going to want to give it a shot," Jackson said.
Associated Press Writer Antonio Gonzalez in Orlando, Fla., and AP Sports Writer Greg Beacham in Los Angeles contributed to this story.

I was employed with this company for 21 yrs,with all the loyalty and respect one could give, I had even at times put my employer before my family. Then in February 2012 I was terminated with no warning, meeting to discuss what was my future for a human error, not for stealing drugs; even management agreed it was a human error and that it could have happened to anyone, I even spoke directly with supervisor of my concerns and she told me that I had nothing to worry about as it was a human error, the next day on my day off I was contacted to come to the plant, which I thought I was receiving a written warning or a possible suspension, but that was not the case I was terminated with no warning or say, even what was written on the form was not completely correct as it stated that I issued the errant topserts to production, which was not the truth and they had documentation of that information. The error I was involved in did actual happen previously that is why the company placed automated sensors and systems in place to prevent a wrong topsert (leaflet that describes the product) being placed incorrectly. which that those system were bi-passed, which that error was not human but intentionally bypassed. I feel bad for them that they treat people this not so much so on me anymore as they gave me the opportunity to really see their true color.

Mike Mullen
Mike was not interested in sports at school and never joined any teams or clubs. At the age of 11 he was inspired to start BMXing after watching a TV show called BMX Beat. Amazed by the excitement of bicycle stunts, and the creative possibilities within BMX, Mike formed a dream to become a professional biker. Without parental support, coaches or a team, Mike learnt to become resourceful and channelled his energy to fulfil his dream. That ultimately translated into winning two world championship titles, performing all across the world and founding his own BMX Academy.
Having experienced both the highs and the lows of competition – whether it's winning a title or coming back from crashes and injuries – Mike appreciates the experiences his sport has given him. His sheer determination and attitude to become the best he can be is a message he conveys to the young people he meets across the UK.
Having been an Athlete Mentor for a number of years, Mike is also taking on the role of Senior Athlete Mentor – using the expertise he has gained from previous years on the initiative to visit schools which have already completed Sky Sports Living for Sport projects and help them to continue to develop and improve their students' lives through sport.
After several years of competitive retirement, Mike went back to the halfpipe in 2013. Applying the lessons learnt from the 6 keys to success, Mike has managed to become the 2014 UK Pro Halfpipe Champion, his proudest achievement to date.
Speaking on his role as an Athlete Mentor, Mike comments: "Sky Sports Living for Sport gives young people the chance to channel any problems or struggles they may have through sport in order to better themselves. They get the opportunity to learn new skills and disciplines that they can use both in and out of school. By focusing your efforts on what you want to achieve and ignoring any negativity, you can succeed and be whatever you want to be.
"It's great to be involved in such a big nationwide initiative that gives so much back to the young people of the UK. My role as a National Athlete Mentor is a dream job. I get the chance to share my sport, my story and in class, run personal development sessions to inspire young people to make positive changes in their own lives."

- UK Halfpipe Pro Champion
- Former World Master Halfpipe Champion

Mexico City, Mexico
Over the past two decades, Mexico has made impressive progress in transforming itself from an oil-dependent, protectionist nation into a modern, diversified economic player that is increasingly integrated into the North American economy and the world. The country has opened up to competition in seaports, railroads, electricity generation, natural gas distribution, airports and, to a certain degree, telecommunications. Key challenges for the country include further opening of the energy and telecommunications sectors, enhancing the competitiveness of Mexican enterprise, attracting foreign investment and investing in the country's human capital and physical infrastructures. Mexico's reforms are opening up opportunities for Canadian companies across a broad range of sectors. With bilateral free trade agreements (FTAs) with over 40 countries and growing interest in the U.S. and Latin America among Mexican conglomerates, Mexico will be an increasing competitor for foreign direct investment seeking an entry into North America and Latin America.
Commercial Relations, 2009
- Canada's bilateral merchandise trade with Mexico was close to $21.4 billion.
- Canadian merchandise exports to Mexico declined 17.8 percent to $4.8 billion. About 75 percent of Canada's exports to Mexico are manufactured products, including motor vehicles and parts, electrical machinery and electronic equipment, and machinery.
- At over $16.5 billion in imports, Mexico is now Canada's third most important merchandise supplier.
- Canadian direct investment holdings in Mexico reached nearly $4.9 billion. Canadian investment in Mexico is evident in banking, mining, energy, urban and rail transit equipment, aerospace, automotive and agri-food.
- It is estimated that more than 2,800 Canadian companies are active in the Mexican market, and over 3,000 more are working on their first sale there.
Market Opportunities
The Government of Canada has identified Mexico as a Global Commerce Strategy (GCS) priority market—based on extensive consultation with Canadian business and industry representatives, academics and government—and has developed a comprehensive Market Plan that identifies the following key sectors as offering clear market opportunities well suited to Canadian capabilities and interests in Mexico:
- Automobile and Advanced Manufacturing: Approximately 75 percent of Canada's exports to Mexico are manufactured products, including motor vehicles and parts, electrical machinery, and electronic equipment, and machinery.
- Agriculture, Food and Beverages: Canadian agri-food products are in high demand as Mexican consumers associate them with quality, value and health.
- Metals and Minerals (Mining): The Mexican mining sector is of key interest to Canadian business, where Canadian Direct Investment Abroad is often used as a market entry strategy.
- Environmental Industries: Strong growth in the environmental sector is creating opportunities in water treatment, solid waste management and renewable energy.
- Information and Communication Technology (ICT): Mexico's ICT sector continues to grow particularly in the wireless and gaming sectors.

Government Leadership and Support
Canada's most important trade policy instrument with the U.S. and Mexico is the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which has revolutionized continental trade and investment and helped unlock our region's economic potential. The Government of Canada is committed to leveraging the NAFTA to further strengthen our nation's continental linkages, including by expanding border infrastructure, improving border processes, aligning national standards and regulations, and other measures to improve the speed, ease and costs associated with the cross-border movement of goods and services throughout North America. Canada's Trade Commissioner Service in Mexico—with trade commissioners located in Guadalajara, Mexico City and Monterrey—provides Canadian businesses with the information, advice and support they need to advance their commercial and investment interests in Mexico. Trade Commissioners also place a special emphasis on promoting Canadian competitiveness and on addressing the awareness gap among Mexican researchers and R&D-driven companies with regard to Canada. The Trade Commissioners also showcase Canada as an investment destination. Domestically, Canadian Trade Commissioners monitor and encourage the retention and expansion of existing Mexican investment in Canada.
Market Access
Canada and Mexico share a dynamic and prosperous relationship. Through over 65 years of diplomatic relations, as well as common membership in a wide range of hemispheric and international organizations, bilateral cooperation has expanded steadily across a wide range of social, economic, business, environmental and security interests. Today, ongoing work is grounded in a number of important mechanisms, including the:
- North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)
- Canada-Mexico Partnership
- North American Leaders Summit
Unless otherwise stated, all data is for 2009 and expressed in Canadian dollars. All data based on latest available national statistics drawn from a variety of sources, including Statistics Canada, Export Development Canada, Bank of Canada, IMF WEO and UNCTAD.

Beijing (AFP) Sept 9, 2007
The former chief of a Chinese state power company has been sentenced to life imprisonment for taking bribes valued at nearly 10 million yuan (1.3 million dollars), state press reported Sunday.
Zhang Shaocang, a Communist Party official and general manager of Anhui Province Energy Group based in eastern China, was convicted of accepting seven million yuan from a local company in 1992, Xinhua news reported.
The 55-year-old also pocketed another 2.78 million yuan worth of bribes between 1989 and 2006, the report said, citing a court official in the city of Fuyang, where he was tried.
His wife and son were also involved, the official said, without elaborating.
Corruption has exploded in China as the country has transitioned to a more open economy while retaining a rigid communist governmental apparatus that affords bureaucrats ample opportunities for graft with little press oversight.
President Hu Jintao, who is expected to seek to cement his control over the Communist Party, and hence the country, during next month's Congress, has identified corruption as a major threat to the party's legitimacy.

By Fred Goodall, AP Sports Writer
TAMPA, Fla. A hard-nosed and aggressive player on the ice during an 18-year career, Rick Tocchet also was once suspended from the NHL because of his involvement in a sports betting ring.
Now, he's the interim coach of the Tampa Bay Lightning, replacing former television analyst Barry Melrose - fired Friday just 16 games into his second tour of duty as a head coach in the league.
Tocchet, sentenced to two years' probation in August 2007 after pleading guilty in a gambling investigation, joined the Lightning as associate coach in July. He has said he never bet on NHL games.
After announcing the move, general manager Brian Lawton called Tocchet a "very straightforward individual" who is well-respected in the league. He's counting on him to do what Melrose couldn't: elevate a club that's off to a 5-7-4 start after finishing with the league's worst record last season.
The Lightning will play their first game under Tocchet on Sunday at Carolina.
"He has excellent accountability factor. He's very structured and very organized in his approach. ... I think everybody from the players' standpoint will have to look at themselves in the mirror and then take this opportunity as a fresh start," Lawton said.
Tocchet has been in the NHL for 25 years as a player and coach. He played 18 seasons with Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Los Angeles, Boston, Washington and Phoenix and served as an assistant coach with Colorado, Phoenix and Tampa Bay.
He rejoined Phoenix's coaching staff in February 2008 after a two-year absence that included the gambling suspension by commissioner Gary Bettman. Deputy commissioner Bill Daly said in an e-mail to The Associated Press that the league is not concerned about Tocchet's promotion.
"Rick is still bound by the terms of his reinstatement," Daly said. "If he's qualified to be an assistant coach on those terms, in our view, he's just as qualified to be a head coach."
Melrose's dismissal came less than 24 hours after the Lightning allowed three third-period goals in a 4-3 loss to Detroit and three days after the coach stayed away from practice after admonishing players for poor play during a team meeting.
The motivational ploy didn't work. The Lightning lost to Florida 4-0 on Wednesday and followed that with another mistake-filled loss to the Red Wings.
Lawton said there was no one reason for the firing.
"It's a very instant world that we live in now. ... Opportunities a lot of times are shortened. Certainly, expectations play into that," the GM said. "The response (to Melrose) has not been favorable. And that's disappointing."
Lawton stressed during a conference call that Melrose's decision to skip practice Tuesday did not cost the coach his job, adding the firing was a culmination of "events" that had been accumulating since before the season began.
"I was not happy with the direction of our hockey club," Lawton said. "Ultimately, I have to take as much responsibility as anybody. I am. We're going to make a change, and we're going to move forward."
The Lightning have lost three straight games, dropping to fourth in the Southeast Division. Despite the presence of Martin St. Louis, Vincent Lecavalier and No. 1 draft pick Steven Stamkos, Tampa Bay ranks last in goals in the NHL.
Melrose is the second NHL coach to be fired this season - the Chicago Blackhawks dismissed Denis Savard after four games.
"Part of the message, and I feel very strongly, is our club is better than our record," Lawton said. "Players need to take notice. ... They need to respond."
Out of coaching for 13 years, Melrose was lured back to the bench by new Lightning owners Oren Koules and Len Barrie as a replacement for John Tortorella, who led Tampa Bay to its only Stanley Cup title in 2004.
Melrose coached Los Angeles from 1992-95. In his first season, he helped the Wayne Gretzky-led Kings to the Stanley Cup finals, where they lost to the Montreal Canadiens. He spent 12 years at ESPN before taking over the Lightning.
"For me, it's not about the wins and losses every night. ... It's certainly part of the equation, but it's not all of it," Lawton said. "It has to do with philosophically where we're going, where we're at today, where we're going tomorrow and where we're going to be in three months or a year."
The GM doesn't expect Tocchet to be a quick fix.
"We're not that naive," Lawton said. "Although we'd all like miracles ... that's not going to happen. Players are going to need some time to understand what he's trying to get at."

I'd like to talk about creating visual demonstrations of game data (whether for games you've made yourself, or when studying others' games). How can we concisely and accurately demonstrate key measures of our games, whether for research purposes, soliciting more funding, or to encapsulate the game experience for non-players? What work are people doing with visualizations of game data?
This question stems from my experience running an on-going small-scale ARG/RPG, Her Majesty's Royal Mail, with attendee Michael Von Korff. A key mechanic of the game is its player-to-player epistolary delivery, which necessarily creates a fog of
war correspondence that we've dealt with through letter editing, an all-player broadsheet, and the ever-popular intercepted letter. I'd be interested in figuring out tools to generate visualizations of the correspondence relationships occurring in this game, something I imagine can be modeled by existing social network analysis tools? Thus far, I've just been modeling these relationships in a drawing program, but I'm certain there's a better way:
Some questions this session might explore:
- What tools are people using to work with data from existing and self-created games? (I hear attendee Marc Ruppel might have something to say about social networks in ARGs…)
- More specifically–what are the best tools to use for data from different genres and sizes of games? What about in-game (e.g. character behavior) data and meta-game (e.g. player post-game survey) data? Are there tools beyond social network analysis mechanisms we can apply to our game data?
- What are some good examples of work with game data visualizations? What kind of visualizations haven't been done yet?
- How can we apply existing DH tools to answering questions about our game data?
- What kind fo questions do we want to ask (and answer) with game data vis, anyway?
- And in terms of getting the data in the first place–is there a way to get more game datasets out there for use in the game studies community while still protecting our players?

Had mini abdominoplasty & breast aug 2 yrs ago. Diaco himself was pleasant, and augmentation turned out well, but tummy tuck did not resolve the loose skin and wrinkles from 3 kids. Had to be cut open again, in his office (not a pleasant experience) to take out more skin. Still looks terrible. I'm now left with not only the loose, wrinkly skin, but a very noticeable scar and 2 pockets of scar tissue from drainage tubes. He tells me now I'll prob need full tummy tuck to correct my issues.
For now, they can do skin firming treatment, but it will cost me another $1,100 out of pocket (my initial surgeries cost me $12,600). When I voiced my frustration to Wendy, the office manager, she insisted that the $1,100 was fair, and that I had had a successful procedure, though I told her I'm very unhappy. See my "after" photo and decide for yourself if my procedure was successful.

St. Kate's Newswire :: St. Catherine University, St. Paul, MN :: News and Events
Archbishop blesses new anatomy lab at St. Catherine University
St. Catherine University celebrated the completion of the second largest anatomy lab in Minnesota in September, second only to the University of Minnesota facility.
In line with Catholic tradition, the University invited The Most Reverend John C. Nienstedt, Archbishop of Saint Paul and Minneapolis, to preside over a blessing of the anatomy lab in Mendel Hall on Monday, Sept. 19.
"All learning — all teaching about the world and human life in science and medicine — comes from this understanding: They have, as their final purpose, praise and thanksgiving for the Creator of Life," said Archbishop Nienstedt. "Today, we ask God's blessing on this anatomy lab, a space for learning and teaching. We come with deep gratitude and thanksgiving to God for those unnamed people, who even in their death, bring life to others by enabling the education of teachers, physicians, therapists and nurses at the University."
Where faith and science meet
Archbishop Nienstedt said the blessing of the human anatomy lab marked an occasion when faith and science become complementary. He called on students of the University to work with the donated human bodies with reverence and respect, honoring those children of God in both life and death.
"In educational circles, one of the big themes today is the relationship between faith and science, and so often people think that there is no relationship," said Archbishop Nienstedt. "What we are doing here today really is the highlight of the complementarity of these two forms of learning, of these two forms of living, because it's our faith that really gives us the profound reverence and respect that we have for each human person as a son or daughter of God."
The Hidden Wholeness
St. Catherine University's new human anatomy lab brings 'silent teachers' to campus.
It is science, Archbishop Nienstedt said, that leads Catholics to promote the discovery of the human body, which in turn leads to the discovery of healing therapies and insights into how human beings can live better lives.
"So it's very appropriate, it seems to me, that we ask God's blessings on this work today, because it really is the best of what we're about: bringing faith and science together," he added.
Providing educational excellence
Penny Moyers, dean of the Henrietta Schmoll School of Health, spoke during the ceremony, sharing a sense of gratitude and pride with the audience of students, faculty and staff, donors and guests.
"I will never, ever forget the days when I learned in an anatomy lab. It's a way of learning that so impresses upon you the true nature of the human body," said Moyers.
Although other options for anatomy education exist, she said, little compares to the experience of working with a human body. Textbooks, diagrams and virtual reality all fall short of hands-on education. She also expressed gratitude to the persons who during their lifetime chose to dedicate their bodies to science.
"That has to be the ultimate donation to someone's learning," said Moyers.
Lindsey Kolnik, a student in the Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) program at St. Catherine University, shared her thanks for the "invaluable gift" of hands-on education. Kolnik completed her first eight-week clinical internship over the summer, and she said her experience learning from human bodies instilled a depth of knowledge that allowed her to be confident in her skills.
"Having access to this anatomy lab affords us the opportunity to learn from human bodies, which will teach us so much more than we can learn from any book," she said.
Blessing the anatomy lab
During the ceremony on Sept. 19, administration, faculty, staff and students of the University joined donors, partners and distinguished guests in celebrating the success of the anatomy lab project and dedicating the work of the anatomy lab through a Catholic blessing.
Guests listened to music and scripture, and they prayed for the future of the anatomy lab and the students who will learn from it. Among the prayer requests, those gathered prayed for those who offered the gift of their bodies at the time of their deaths, for the teachers, mentors and facilitators of the lab, and for the students, that they would work in the lab with reverence, respect and honor for all life.
With quiet instrumental music warming the dedicated space, Archbishop Nienstedt then blessed each of the two anatomy labs, concluding the ceremony in Mendel Hall.
About the anatomy lab
Since 1991, students of St. Catherine University have studied cadavers at the anatomy lab at the University of Minnesota, through a partnership between the two institutions. Due to increasing needs, the University of Minnesota announced in August 2010 that it could accommodate students from St. Catherine University for only one more year.
After the announcement, administration, faculty and staff at St. Catherine University made plans to bring a new anatomy lab to St. Kate's, prompting a $1.1 million remodel of the fourth floor of Mendel Hall. In addition to remodeled classrooms and a mathematics suite, the renovations included a 3,600-square-foot anatomy space with two labs large enough to accommodate nine bodies each, as well as showers, lockers, storage and a cleaning room.
More than 500 students at St. Catherine will use the anatomy lab in the coming year, according to Cort Cieminski, associate professor of the DPT program and director of the anatomy lab. And that number will only increase as St. Kate's adds new programs, such as the physician's assistant program that will launch in 2012.
Below, Archbishop John C. Nienstedt speaks with Peter and Patricia Frechette, who contributed the Leadership Gift to St. Catherine University for the human anatomy lab.

SOUTH SYDNEY giant Dave Taylor has opened up about the indifferent State of Origin performance that threatens to cost him a Queensland jumper, saying he is desperate for atonement in the series decider at Suncorp Stadium.
Taylor will grace that venue ahead of Origin III on July 4 when the Rabbitohs visit Brisbane in a highly anticipated meeting of top-four teams on Friday night.
The 122-kilogram forward is reportedly facing pressure to retain his Maroons place after a display at ANZ Stadium last week in which he made a series of crucial gaffes and was otherwise quiet. Having cut himself above his eye falling out of bed in the lead-up to the game it turned out to be a week to forget for Taylor.
''I was very disappointed,'' the Gold Coast-bound 23-year-old said. ''Obviously the dropped ball and that sort of hurt me. Origin games are always very tight and one or two mistakes can definitely cost games. It's definitely something that I'm working hard on. I've just got to go out and play the best I can for Souths.''
Taylor admitted he was nervous ahead of Origin II, in which NSW levelled the series with a 16-12 win, but did not want to use that as an excuse. He started in the absence of injured Sam Thaiday.
''I'm definitely keen to get back out there and have a crack,'' he said. ''You're very desperate to play any Origin game, it doesn't matter which one it is. Origin is Origin. I'll do everything I can to get right and make sure I go out and have a good game against the Broncos.
Taylor said he had focused on defence rather than trying to pull off the big plays he has become renowned for at NRL level, and that he had been reassured by Queensland coach Mal Meninga after the game. ''I've been spoken up in the media to be the guy who goes out and does something special. I didn't see myself as that,'' he said. ''I just see myself as just going out and playing a strong game and making sure I do all the little things right. I definitely want to do that on Friday night.
''[Meninga] just said 'keep your head up and work hard on the little things'. I'm going to go out and play hard … hopefully the opportunity comes off that.
