Nothing is Impossible! - 2 (Luke 1:34-38)
"How will this be," Mary asked the angel, "since I am a virgin?" The angel answered, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the Holy One to be born will be called the Son of God. Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be barren is in her sixth month. For nothing is impossible with God." "I am the Lord's servant", Mary answered. "May it be to me as you have said." Then the angel left her."
This message focuses on two essentials to a victorious walk with God. Many of us have been battling year in and year out with the same struggles. At the beginning of each year we are full of good intentions and New Year resolutions! However, when we come to the end of the year, it somehow feels as though we may not have progressed very far since that time! It is time for transformation and victory in those areas we have struggled with.
In our passage of Scripture today, we see the angel speak to Mary about two physically impossible situations; one is a young virgin girl becoming pregnant without any physical contact with a man; and second, an elderly woman long past the childbearing age, who had been known as 'barren' all her life - in her sixth month of pregnancy! God had a beautifully woven plan for the lives of both these mothers, and the babies to be born. Elizabeth's child would be John the Baptist, whom God chose to prepare the way for the Lord Jesus; Mary was the carrier of a precious and powerful seed - the Word made flesh who came and dwelt among us (John 1), the One who would be the Lord Jesus Christ, the only Son of the Most High God and the Savior of all humanity! She was certainly favored!
Friend, I know and believe that God has a wonderful plan for your life too. His Word tells us in Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future." As we move towards the end of this year and into a new year, I want to claim this Word for each of us - that God has good plans for us in 2009; plans to prosper His children, to fill us with hope, and help us see the awesome year He is preparing for us! He has plans to give us victory in areas of defeat, and to strengthen us in our places of weakness. God desires to bless and not to curse; to bring healing, deliverance and overcoming into our lives - He has GOOD PLANS for us!
Mary was chosen by God because her heart was pure, and her life was pleasing before Him (we looked at this last week); But there are two essential keys which we can take from this Scripture today, which can completely transform our lives!
1)Yielding to the Holy Spirit - Most Christians believe in God the Father; they also believe that Jesus is the Son of God and the Savior of the world. They may even believe in the Third Person of the Trinity - the blessed Holy Spirit. But are we submitted to the Holy Spirit and what He wants to do in our lives? Many of us have not recognized that He is God! He wants to draw us to the Father, and wants the name of the Lord Jesus to be glorified in our lives. He wants to bring God's plans and purposes to pass in our lives; He wants our lives to bear good fruit and be ones of powerful witness and victory in this dark and depraved world. He wants us to walk in the BLESSING of God Almighty! He is the Counselor, Comforter and Helper (John 14:16, 14:26, 15:26, 16:7 etc.)
However, this is only possible if we permit Him to come to us and fill our lives, without placing limitations upon Him or telling Him what He cannot do. Mary yielded to the precious Holy Spirit, permitted His presence to come upon her; and lived her life in that state of surrender. If we invited His presence, but then were insensitive or resistant to His voice, then it is not likely that we would see the fruit we long for, because He may not continue to speak or act. I want to ask you dear friend to seek the Holy Spirit in these days to come. He is the most precious and beautiful friend you could ever have. He is longing to lift your life to higher heights, so invite Him to come (with no conditions!), and allow Him the access to do whatever He desires to do in your life. This could be the missing link you have been looking for. He will bring God's plans to fulfillment in your life, as you begin to submit to His Hand upon you. As you fall on your knees and open your heart to Him, you will begin to have an encounter with the most beautiful person you ever met! If you are already experiencing the presence of the Holy Spirit and His power flowing through your life you are indeed favored by God, as Mary was!
2) Yielding to the Holy Word � Our walk with God is hindered when we are not surrendered to His Word. Many of us love to pray and seek the Lord, and spend time in worship, but it may be a little more difficult to pin oneself down to read and meditate on the Word! Of course, there may be all kinds of hindrances cropping up, because of the power and anointing that comes from absorbing the Word and the way it makes our faith grow strong!
There may also be people who read the Word consistently, but do not agree with many aspects of it; or they may resist doing what God is asking them to do through His Word. Remember Mary - she heard the Word of God and simply said "I am the Lord's servant. May it be to me as you have said"! This took a lot of resolve. It is hard to submit to the Word of God for your life when you do not know what the consequences will be, or how you are going to be affected. It takes faith in God! For Mary, in the culture and context of the time, this was a big, bold step. She was a simple teenage girl who knew that she could even lose her life for being pregnant before marriage; but God's Word spoken over her life was sufficient for her. She believed. She surrendered!
Friend, in these last days, when the Lord Jesus is waiting for His Bride to prepare for His return, We can only be truly ready for Him when we grow in the power of the Word of God and surrender to all aspects of it, obeying with a whole heart.
I believe that God desires to see us walk in victory in the coming year. He wants to strengthen us to stand firm, so that we will not be knocked down by situations that we may have to face. As we yield to the Holy Spirit's work upon our lives, and as we surrender to the Word of God, know for sure that no weapon formed against you shall prosper. You will overcome every hindrance and obstacle that rises before you, and you will see your life PREGNANT with the POTENTIAL that God places within you. I pray that the power of the Most High will overshadow you, and that you will see great fruitfulness in all those areas of your life which you thought were barren or dead. May you see the overflowing blessing in your prayers, ministry, relationships, your finances, and in your own personal walk with God. May you see that as you yield to the sweet Spirit, nothing is impossible for you!
This Christmas season, know that God has good things in store for you. He says He Loves you and has great things for you. May it be to you according to His Word!

Global Executive MBA
Leadership for the Global Executive
Apply today
"This class provides me with the fundamental concepts to a better understanding of leadership…I have been put into leadership positions, but never actually been taught how to lead. I now look at myself and better understand why I do the things that I do. This class spans each term and I look forward to each session as I try to improve myself. This is why I chose Duke over other leading programs."
Todd Watterson '12
VP Global Sales & Business Operations
Datacard Group
At Fuqua, we distinguish leadership from management, but both are important for global executives. Leadership depends on persuasion and inspiration, while management depends on systems and rewards. Leadership is about asking the right questions, not having all the right answers. We'll help you to think about how to do that, and you'll leave with a "leadership lens" through which to see future challenges.
The purpose of the Leadership for the Global Executive course is to provide opportunities for reflection, debate, and practice so you can hone your leadership skills. You'll explore your own style, strengths, and weaknesses, as well as more general principles of effective leadership. The course also serves as a forum and focus for your development as an executive (and a person), building skills that will make you more effective in your professional life.
During each term of this multi-term course, you will focus on a different domain, or aspect, of leadership according to The Six Domains of Leadership model developed by Fuqua professors Allan Lind and Sim Sitkin:
- Responsible
- Inspirational
- Supportive
- Personal
- Relational
- Contextual
Leadership Takes Many Forms
In organizations, leadership exists within both formal hierarchy and informal culture. It's more than a position or title—it involves a personal relationship, and it's a key element of successful coordinated action. Leadership doesn't just happen downward—you can lead up and you can lead sideways regardless of your position in your company's hierarchy. You may lead within a team, with your peers, or even with clients and investors. Global business leaders must be savvy and technically competent, but collaborative work also requires leadership.
Like any skill set, leadership can be improved. Taught by Professor Allan Lind, you will be given tools to help you improve your leadership skills. With class assignments including a personal development plan, reflection journals, and an organizational change initiative, you will focus on improving your leadership skills to have a greater impact within your organization.
Below are the key components of the course:
- Personal Development Plan
Your first major assignment is a personalized development plan that outlines your current leadership challenges and defines specific behaviors to address those challenges. The plan will be based on your 360 evaluations on the Six Domain Leadership Survey. Your leadership coach will act as a sounding board helping you to digest the 360 evaluation. The personal development plan is a practical way to apply what you learn in class to transform your leadership style and skills
- Leadership Coaching
"Many executives need an unbiased colleague to serve as a sounding board for leadership challenges and ideas. That's what we coaches do. You can be vulnerable and we won't judge. We are here to help you become the type of leader you want to be."
Sanyin Siang
Leadership Coach & Executive Director of The Fuqua/Coach K Center on Leadership & Ethics
Our certified leadership coaches assist you in clarifying your leadership challenges, so you can learn to improve. Coaches help you with time management, work-life balance, prioritization, negotiation, leveraging talent, and team building. Based on your experience and interests, you will be paired with a coach who will learn your story and will help guide you along the leadership development aspects of the program.
Coaches are not a required part of the program, but you are encouraged to take advantage of them as a resource. All coaching is personalized, individual, and confidential.
- Leadership in a Global Context
The course includes a strong global component. Through in-class case studies of world leaders, you are challenged to see how the leader's style would translate to your region, country, and company. You will be drawn out to share your own expertise in class and after class in the online discussion forums.
- Organizational Change Initiative
This capstone project integrates all the knowledge you've gained in the Global Executive MBA program and is a bridge between the program and the real-world. It is a practical project that you are meant to implement after graduation. The change target can be a process, procedure, or even a person within your work setting. It may also be a change that you wish to make in a social, religious, or political context.
After submitting a written change plan, you will present and discuss it with your classmates during the Term 5 residency. The presentations are interactive and detailed, providing you with the opportunity to learn from and leverage the expertise of your classmates.

A Hatful Of Hollow
Whenever people asked me about it, I had to wonder if they genuinely cared about how my mother died or if they're only trying to figure out if they are more likely to get the disease. I find such people very rude. Not only they had no idea about how I felt; being forced to talk about the disease that killed my mother, they also thought they could get a free diagnosis from me. Some people just amazed me with their lack of "human emotions".
Let Me Go.
I thought the world would stop. But it didn't. Not even for a split second. It just kept on moving like nothing happened. I had no choice but to go along with it because that's what we should do after surviving the worst thing that could ever happen, we let go and move on.

Help 1 Cat Will and 1 wont
So I have 2 cats one has no issues at all using the LK, while the other one goes #1 in the Lk but not #2. The seconds cat will sometimes use it but its very few far and in between. I have tried using a enzyme cleaner and locked the cat in the bathroom and even put a bowl of water in the corner that she usually goes in. Today she pooped like a inch away from the bowl.
I had tried foil awhile back and it worked for the most part. The one cat would not poop on it but would instead poop in the middle of the bathroom. I have a feeling the cat is doing it on purpose i dont know why, but Last night i saw my cat doing the potty dance in and out of the bathroom on the web cam i have set up, but would not go as i am getting up to go check on her she starts pooping on the carpet outside of the bathroom and when she see's me she takes off running and then stops to finish pooping then runs underneath the couch. Almost as if she knew it was wrong to do.
I have tried different litters I have waited for her for 2 or three hours inside the bathroom yet she wont go and when i leave she poops. I tried using some catnip to lure then near the toilet no success. I am at the end of my rope and do not want to give up but its driving me crazy. I am going to take the cat on Monday to the vets for a checkup make sure nothing is wrong. I think its crazy that no matter what I do the cat seems defiant. Short of putting 100 bowls of watter and making it so hard for the cat to find a spot on the bathroom floor idk.
The incident today my Fiance went in to clean the LK after the problem cat went #1 in the LK leaves the room and within a second the cat walks over to the bowl and poops right next to the bowl. I have scrubbed the floor with the enzyme cleaner 2 or 3 times. I have used a black light to see if there is anything on the floor. We have tried the treat method every time she does something good on the LK she gets a treat but no matter what still will not poop on the LK.
I have read the many suggestions but i honestly do not know what to do. I am not going to give up it is just very frustrating and stressful to have to worry about 1 cat always pooping on the floor, while the other one is close to flawless.
Any suggestions would be a blessing.
What stage are you on? Red on the floor or the toilet?, amber?, green?
If the foil worked maybe you can cover the entire floor with it and tape it down so it's not possible to move around? Have you tried double sided tape or sandpaper?
I tried to use something like catnip and it worked the other way around, the smell was too strong and she couldn't find her own scent and went on the floor...
Are you cleaning the LK too much or too little? I think it's important that it's not dirty, but if it's too clean the cat will not smell it's scent and go elsewhere...Maybe mix some of the used litter with fresh litter...
I have done the potty dance too many times and all I can see is that is making me tired and angry and not getting anywhere...She will use it when I'm there, but not when I'm gone...They don't do it because they are bad, but because they don't feel safe and they are trying to tell you that...You have to figure out what you can do to get your cat feel safe again and change things very slowely...It's hard to say what the problem is when I don't know what stage you are struggeling with...
I have three cat's on the green stage with a bit of litter and have struggled through changing litter brand, amber stage, green stage and green without litter...We have gotten through all of the problems except the last one that I'm working on...
I know that people say that you shouldn't keep the cat's in the bathroom at night, but I do and think that has helped one of the cat's...Miro went in every corner of the apartement for both #1 and #2...When I started to put him in the bathroom with his food and water he never did bad things in the bathroom, but in everyother room...I started to watch his every move when he tried going elsewhere when I was awake and when I saw him scartching the floor I locked myself in the bathroom with him and maked sure he used the LK and gave him treats. After a while he forgot about the other places in the apartement and have been good for about two months now, he even uses the regular toilet seats when he has the chance...I also think that buying a Feliway diffusor and put it in a socket in the bathroom worked for my boy...+ anything I could do to make him feel happy and safe with me....My girl that I have problems with always goes on the floor in the bathroom so I needed to make her feel safe and go back to the stage she felt comfortable or just give her more litter and she was fine...I also tried Feliway spray on the floor and she didn't want to go where I had sprayed, but it was a bit expensive to use it all the time and make sure that the whole floor was covered...Feliway diffusor didn't seem to work for her... My last cat has been a good boy almost the entire time...All cat's are different and require different methods to make them feel good and safe...
By the way, here are some threads with good tips going from one stage to another:

An animated motion picture based on events in the director's own life, involving his attempts to both remember and verify his wartime experiences. After not being able to recall the time he spent on an Israeli Army mission during the Lebanon War, Ari attempts to unravel the mystery by traveling around the world to interview old friends and comrades. As the pieces of the puzzle begin to come together, his memory begins to return in illustrations that are surreal. At the end of the animated film is a very short segment of the film that shows live footage of war casualties.

British ministers say the current US Government has not asked to transport suspects through UK territory.
Alberto Gonzales refused to say whether the US had moved prisoners without explicit permission from the UK.
But he said the US did not fly suspects to nations where they might be tortured and fully respected UK sovereignty.
His comments came as the Ministry of Defence revealed where US planes suspected of secretly carrying suspects through Britain were flying to and from.
Assurance demand
The Lib Dems threatened to complain to a watchdog if the ministry did not give the details about three planes which have featured in newspaper claims.
Among the planes' destinations and origins were Libya, Pakistan, Qatar, Malta, Morocco and the United States.
Lib Dems say UK ministers must ask the US more questions about the flights.
The party's foreign affairs spokesman Michael Moore said the UK should know how many suspects had been carried on such flights since 1998 and how many other detention centres are operated by the US or on its behalf.
He added: "What assurances can be given that the interrogation techniques used do not amount to 'cruel, inhuman or degrading' treatment, which is illegal under international law?"
'No change'
US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has said suspects are flown abroad for interrogation - a process called rendition.
But UK Foreign Secretary Jack Straw has said there is no record of President George W Bush's administration asking for British airspace or territory to be used.
Giving the new details, Armed Forces Minister Adam Ingram said none of the information was at odds with Mr Straw's statements.
Mr Gonzales told BBC Radio 4's World at One on Tuesday that the US did not transport terrorism suspects to nations where it was more likely than not that they could be tortured.
Asked if the US might fly transport terror suspects through the UK without informing the government Mr Gonzales said "the United States respects the sovereignty of every European country including the UK".
Asked again, he added that the US had "a tremendous level of cooperation with the UK and with other European countries".
The Lib Dems say they want to know what kind of cooperation the UK gives, including what information the British security services gave the US.

Community Development Director/Zoning Administrator Carie Fuhrman said she is still working on possible changes for the city's new sign ordinance to accommodate concerns by clubs about having to pay a permit fee to put up a temporary sign. Fuhrman learned that various cities give a waiver to nonprofits for this, citing Albertville, Blaine, Clearwater, Elk River, Monticello and Rosemount. The cities of North Branch and Ottertail do not charge a fee for having a temporary sign or even require a permit for one. Blaine requires that the nonprofit have the formal 501(c)3 classification for a fee waiver.
Council member Dick Dobson said he would like to see any fee waiver for Princeton include the 501(c)3 requirement.
Organizations would still have to get the permit even if there is not a fee, Fuhrman said.
Prepare airport projects
The council authorized SEH consulting engineer Joel Dresel to obtain bids for various airport improvement projects in Princeton should federal grant money come through to fund 90 percent of their cost. A memo from city administration stated that last year when grant money became available, the city was unable to use it because it couldn't supply bids fast enough during the amount of time left before deadline.
Partial payment for wastewater project
The council approved paying $434,936.75 to Rice Lake Construction Group as a partial payment for its work to expand the city's wastewater plant. The project, which will triple the plant's processing capacity, is more than half done.
OK to seek grant
The council authorized the city to apply for a Historic Building Inventory Grant of up to $7,000 that would give a profile of downtown buildings. This would include roof shapes, architectural styles, materials, building integrity and more. The city has been told that it would need this before it could apply for a grant to draw up plans for improving old downtown structures.

.010 Facilities Planning
Facilities Planning is responsible for providing professional assistance in the development of plans for the repair, renovation or new construction of physical facilities at Kansas State University. Included in these responsibilities are architecture, engineering, landscape architecture and planning services. The basic parameters of these responsibilities are defined by Kansas Statutory Laws, Kansas Administrative Regulations, and the Policy and Procedures Manual issued by the Division of Architectural Services.
In addition to providing routine general information on physical facilities, it provides varied levels of more detailed and specialized professional planning, design, and/or construction services for which it has a set fee or fee schedule. Examples of services and fees are:
Assistance for preparation of project documentation, including program texts with scope definition and preliminary budgets may be provided by the Planning office at no charge. Certain types of project programming may require outside consulting services for which there may be a fee.
Capital project program statements and budgets, in a format consistent with Board of Regents Capital Improvement Requests, may be prepared by the Planning office at no charge. Certain types of consulting services may be required to fully prepare the documentation for submission to the Regents or Legislature for which there may be a fee.
Other project services will be provided on an as needed basis. Proposals for these types of services will be provided in the following formats as required by each type of project:
-a set fee (see schedules below)or
-direct cost (time and materials basis) or
-for unique projects, fees may be negotiated, on a mutually agreed upon basis, in conformance with K.S.A. 75-1263.
A properly completed Interdepartmental Requisition, or other written authorization, identifying fund source and amount is required PRIOR to the initiation of such projects.
The set fee schedule used by Division of Facilities, Facilities Planning is as follows:
- Programming/Schematic/Preliminary Design Services Fees:
a. Project Cons. Cost Study Fee $0 - $ 10,000 $0 - $250 $10,001 - $ 50,000 $ Time and Materials basis $50,001 - $100,000 $ Time and Materials basis $100,001 - $500,000 $ Time and Materials basis Over $500,000 $ Time and Materials basis
b. Presentation Materials provided on a time and materials basis.
- Construction Documents Fees:
a. Project Cons. Cost Design Fee Up to $5,000 $500 $5,000 - $50,000 $500 + 7% over $5,000 $50,001 - $100,000* $3,650 + 6% over $50,000 $100,001 - $500,000 $6,650 + 5% over $100,000 Over $500,000** Fees determined in conformance with K.S.A. 75-1263.
|Engineering Projects over $100,000 must be designed by outside engineering consultants.
|Architectural Projects over $500,000 must be designed by outside architectural consultants.
|If schematic designs have been previously prepared by Facilities Planning, those charges will be deducted from the construction document fee. Construction administration services will be provided at no additional charge if projects are constructed.
|Presentation Materials will be provided on a time and material basis.
Due to internal production schedules and the availability of the professional staff, Facilities Planning may elect to utilize the design services of Kansas Division of Architectural Services, or "on call" architects or engineers retained by the University. Facilities Planning will facilitate and administer such arrangements. All related Facilities Planning and consultant fees will be charged to the project if this option is chosen. Time and material charges will be based on established billing rates, and actual material costs (including related overhead charges). In as much as the fee structure for any project can vary widely, guidelines must be made on a project by project basis. The Director of Facilities Planning will assist any department and agency in determining anticipated fees when requested.
1. Administrative Fees for projects designed by outside consultants.
|Project Cons. Cost
|Administration Fee
|$0 - $10,000
|$10,001 - $250,000
|$500 + .8% over $10,000
|$250,001 - $1,000,000
|$2,420 + .6% over $250,000
|$1,000,001 - $10,000,000
|$6,920 + .4% over $1,000,000
|Over $10,000,000
|$42,920 + .2% over $10,000,000
b. Presentation materials will be provided on a time and materials basis.
Please note that an additional 1% administrative fee may be charged by the Kansas Division of Architectural Services on any project based on scope of project and funding source.
.020 Naming Buildings and Facilities
A Board of Regents Policy and Procedures stipulation (2/18/83) states that buildings are to be named by the Regents upon the recommendation of an institution's Chief Executive Officer and the Facilities Committee of the Board. No public communication of a proposed name shall be made until the name is presented for consideration to the open meeting of the Committee. Guidelines for submitting naming proposals at Kansas State University are:
Any legally identifiable unit, person (living or deceased), company, or organization is an appropriate consideration for the naming of a building or project.
Other names related to the heritage of Kansas State University may also be considered.
A significant contribution to Kansas State University should be the primary basis for the recommendation.
The contribution should be compatible with the building or project's function and scope. An exception may be made if the individual's contribution encompasses the entire University (e.g. President), or if the building function is to be utilized by the entire University (e.g. Library).
After having received the endorsement of the Dean or other appropriate administrator, a letter including the proposed name and explanation of the contribution shall be forwarded to the Vice President for Administration and Finance.
The Vice President for Administration and Finance will present the request at a President's Staff meeting for review and action and notify the originator of the President's decision.
If the request requires approval of the Board of Regents and the President supports the request, it will be forwarded to the Board for review and action. The Vice President for Administration and Finance will notify the originator of the Board's action.
At the time the University desires to select a project name for a building, any internal or external portion of a building, or other facility or area on the campus, that assignment shall be given to an existing group or a special committee as determined by the President, Dean, or Director as appropriate. Such committee shall be specifically authorized to solicit, screen, and recommend an appropriate name or names for the project using the policy criteria.
A letter requesting such action must be forwarded to the Vice President for Administration and Finance after having received the endorsement of the Dean or other appropriate administrator.
The Vice President for Administration and Finance will present the request at the subsequent President's Staff meeting for review and action. The originator will be notified promptly of the President's decision through appropriate channels.
If the request needs approval of the Board of Regents and the President supports the request, it will be placed on the Board's monthly agenda for review and action. The Vice President for Administration and Finance will notify the originator of the Board action through appropriate channels.
To have a project (buildings, laboratories, classrooms, etc.) named after a private donor, the private contribution from a single source would have to be 100% of the project's cost or a lesser percentage based on the total anticipated cost of a project. A flexible percentage scale should be applied for projects in excess of $250,000 with the percentage of contribution decreasing as the amount of money required increases. The following proration is suggested:
Naming opportunities for those significant spaces in new construction or major renovation projects should be actively considered as a means of adding additional private funding to the project. An anticipated donation equivalent to, or based upon, a sliding percentage scale of the cost of construction or renovation of these spaces should be developed in coordination with Facilities Planning and the architect or engineer.
.025 Signs
Federal guidelines have been established that regulate the content and format of the signs displayed on campus. In order to ensure that Kansas State University is in compliance with these regulations, all proposed signs, both interior and exterior, must be reviewed and approved by Facilities Planning before being made and displayed.
.030 Questions
Questions regarding this chapter may be referred to the Director of Facilities Planning at 532-6377.


text: Hi, I have a question about the scheduling of jobs based on MPI-2 standard. Does Torque support adaptive scheduling? By this I mean if a user can initially request a specific number of CPUs and then based on the complexity of the job decide to ask for more or give up some of the assigned CPUs. How difficult would it be to achieve this kind of adaptivity with existing Torque code base? I am planning on working on such a scheduler for my thesis, so I would like to know what I am getting into from the developers themselves? Thanks, Prakash

Using a portable USB monitor in Ubuntu 13.04 (AOC e1649Fwu - DisplayLink)
|Linux 15 October 2013 -
Having access to a little bit of IT hardware extravaganza isn't that easy here in Mauritius for exactly two reasons - either it is simply not available or it is expensive like nowhere. Well, by chance I came across an advert by a local hardware supplier and their offer of the week caught my attention - a portable USB monitor. Sounds cool, and the specs are okay as well. It's completely driven via USB 2.0, has a light weight, the dimensions would fit into my laptop bag and the resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels is okay for a second screen. Long story, short ending: I called them and only got to understand that they are out of stock - how convenient! Well, as usual I left some contact details and got the regular 'We call you back' answer. Surprisingly, I didn't receive a phone call as promised and after starting to complain via social media networks they finally came back to me with new units available - and *drum-roll* still the same price tag as promoted (and free delivery on top as one of their employees lives in Flic en Flac). Guess, it was a no-brainer to get at least one unit to fool around with. In worst case it might end up as image frame on the shelf or so...
The usual suspects... Ubuntu first!
Of course, the packing mentions only Windows or Mac OS as supported operating systems and without hesitation at all, I hooked up the device on my main machine running on Ubuntu 13.04. Result: Blackout...
Hm, actually not the situation I was looking for but okay can't be too difficult to get this piece of hardware up and running. Following the output of syslogd (or dmesg if you prefer) the device has been recognised successfully but we got stuck in the initialisation phase.
The device has been recognised as USB device without any question and it is listed properly:
A quick and dirty research on the net gave me some hints towards the udlfb framebuffer device for USB DisplayLink devices. By default this kernel module is blacklisted
and it is recommended to load it manually. So, unloading the whole udl stack and giving udlfb a shot:
But still no reaction on the external display which supposedly should have been on and green.
Display okay? Test run on Windows
Just to be on the safe side and to exclude any hardware related defects or whatsoever - you never know what happened during delivery. I moved the display to a new position on the opposite side of my laptop, installed the display drivers first in Windows Vista (I know, I know...) as recommended in the manual, and then finally hooked it up on that machine. Tada! Display has been recognised correctly and I have a proper choice between cloning and extending my desktop.
Okay, good to know that there is nothing wrong on the hardware side just software...
Back to Ubuntu - Kernel too old
Some more research on Google and various hits recommend that the original displaylink driver has been merged into the recent kernel development and one should manually upgrade the kernel image (and both header) packages for Ubuntu. At least kernel 3.9 or higher would be necessary, and so I went out to this URL:
and I downloaded all the good stuff from the v3.9-raring directory. The installation itself is easy going via dpkg:
As with any kernel upgrades it is necessary to restart the system in order to use the new one. Said and done:
And now connecting the external display gives me the following output in /var/log/syslog:
Okay, that's looks more promising but still only blackout on the external screen... And yes, due to my previous modifications I swapped the blacklisted kernel modules:
Silly me!
Next, it's time to enable the display for our needs... This can be done either via UI or console, just as you'd prefer it.
Personally, I like the console. With the help of xrandr we get the screen identifier first
and then give it the usual shot with auto-configuration. Let the system decide what's best for your hardware...
And there we go... Cloned output of main display:
Despite of a good number of resources it is absolutely not necessary to create a Device or Screen section in one of Xorg.conf files. This information belongs to the past and is not valid on kernel 3.9 or higher.
Same hardware but Windows 8
Of course, I wanted to know how the latest incarnation from Redmond would handle the new hardware... Flawless!
Most interesting aspect here: I did not use the driver installation medium on purpose. And I was right... not too long afterwards a dialog with the EULA of DisplayLink appeared on the main screen. And after confirmation of same it took some more seconds and the external USB monitor was ready to rumble. Well, and not only that one... but see for yourself.
I can highly recommend this type of hardware to anyone asking me.
Although, it's dimensions are 15.6" it is actually lighter than my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and it still fits into my laptop bag without any issues. From now on... no more single screen while developing software on the road!
Meanwhile I upgraded my system to Saucy Salamander (Ubuntu 13.10) and the newer kernel 3.11.0 or better said the udl module doesn't activate the screen anymore. Although the hardware is correctly identified it won't display anything.
After some additional searching I came across a bug report on Launchpad: Regression: DisplayLink DL-195 fails with EAGAIN after upgrade from 3.11.0-031100 to 3.11.0-11 which shedded some light on my issue, too. As described above, I went from the default kernel (3.8.x) in Ubuntu 13.04 to an upstream kernel 3.9.0. Due to the recent upgrade to Saucy Salamander my system went back to an Ubuntu specific kernel 3.11.0-12-generic and the 'broken' display. Currently, I'm back to a vanilla kernel and thinks are working as expected.
This kernel has a proper device detection and I can activate / configure the USB monitor with xrandr:
It's the little things that make a difference...

Have Relationship Questions? Ask a Counselor for Answers ASAP
Hello, I am Rafael. Thanks for asking your question - I'm here to support you. (Information posted here is not private or confidential but public).
I am sorry to know about this concerning situation.
Could you please clarify what you said about her being concerned him causing "physical harm", while at the same time she states he is not a violent person?
he has made the statement that when or if he finds out she is seeing someone else that he would do them harm. She doesn't think that he would try to harm her.
If both of you are adults and divorced, you do have the right and need to rebuild your lives without having to hide not fear about anything, since you are not doing anything wrong, right?
that's right and we both have said this to each other.
Then it is very serious since there is no way for you to build a healthy, normal and fulfilling relationship while limiting your lives to this fear, since there is not guaranty that he would be just fine once he gets a new partner and finds out about you.
so how and what do I say to her, I would like for her to stop responding to his text but I fear she might think that I am trying to control her with demands.
Most times being passive, tolerating and allowing manipulation or intimidation, just enables and fuels further unacceptable control, abuse and dysfunction. I do not see how hiding your relationship, while she keeps fueling their communication could help your situation at all. That seems to be a very codependent, so unhealthy approach.
this is not about controlling her but about setting healthy, clear and acceptable boundaries in consistency with the type of relationship you want to build.
so should explain to her that this texting is not healthy for our relationship.
If what she wants and is willing to share with you is around building a healthy, mature and fulfilling exclusive relationship, then it is obvious that for her to keep this communication with her ex-husband would not help, either to hide the relationship, since it would enable and create an unhealthy situation, from distorting your relationship to empowering any potential form of abuse and manipulation from him.
So I guess for this relationship to flourish and grow, she needs to tell him about me, and to stop responding to his text.
You need to be very clear about your core needs and expectations in this relationship, while she needs to do the same, being fully honest and open with each other, that way you would know how well or not you are able and willing to build this relationship together.
I do not see why an adult divorce person has to inform or explain about her decisions, actions and life to her ex-husband. That would only show a dysfunctional attachment -relationship even after divorce, what could never help her nor anybody in a relationship with her.
thank you
You're very welcome.
Thank you for your trust
Please feel free to contact me for any further support

Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan want to neutralize Democratic attacks on their plan to turn Medicare into a voucher program for future seniors by replaying the GOP's 2010 campaign against Democratic members of Congress: by attacking President Obama for Medicare cuts he signed into law.
As has been noted repeatedly, that strategy requires Romney and Ryan to disavow Medicare reforms the GOP recently endorsed overwhelmingly as a part of the party's budget, which Ryan authored.
But the ticket also contends that a key difference between Obama and Romney is that Romney won't change Medicare at all for existing beneficiaries — only future ones. Recent statements from his advisers and surrogates, suggest the claim is false.
As outlined in a memo the campaign released Saturday, Romney plans to repeal the Affordable Care Act in its entirety, and thus to spend over $700 billion more on the program in the coming decade than the government would spend if the health care law stands.
That commitment would leave Medicare poised for insolvency in 2016, years before he proposes to phase in the voucher system. Which means Romney would have two options: find new Medicare cuts or taxes to extend the life of the program, or preside over its demise.
On Fox News Sunday, Romney adviser Ed Gillespie tried to address the conundrum. "There are other reforms as well. As you know Governor Romney supports increasing over time bringing the Medicare eligibility age in line with the Social Security retirement age."

H Index: A Statistical Proposal
The measurement of the quality of academic research is a rather controversial issue. Recently Hirsch has proposed a measure that has the advantage of summarizing in a single summary statistics all the information that is contained in the citation counts of each scientist. From that seminal paper, a huge amount of research has been lavished, focusing on one hand on the development of correction factors to the h index and on the other hand, on the pros and cons of such measure proposing several possible alternatives. Although the h index has received a great deal of interest since its very beginning, only few papers have analyzed its statistical properties and implications, typically from an asymptotic viewpoint. In the present work we propose an exact statistical approach to derive the distribution of the h index. To achieve this objective we work directly on the two basic components of the h index: the number of produced papers and the related citation counts vector, by introducing convolution models. Our proposal is applied to a database of homogeneous scientists made up of 131 full professors of statistics employed in Italian universities. The results show that while "sufficient" authors are reasonably well detected by a crude bibliometric approach, outstanding ones are underestimated, motivating the development of a statistical based h index. Our proposal offers such development and in particular exact confidence intervals to compare authors as well as quality control thresholds that can be used as target values.

The Eindhoven-based club are understood to be on the verge of capturing the Heerenveen winger, despite negotiations taking off slowly between the two clubs
Earlier in the week, the Dutch giants' sporting director Marcel Brands had cast doubt about his side's chances of signing the 21-year-old after dismissing suggestions his side had tabled an improved offer for the player.
However, fresh reports in Netherlands claim that the two clubs have now agreed a deal worth €4.5 million for Narsingh, who was also linked with Ajax, subject to personal terms and a medical.
The transfer will represent yet another blow to Heerenveen, who have seen Bas Dost, Daryl Janmaat and Viktor Elm all leave the club earlier in the summer.
Narsingh, who has one year left on his contract with the Frisians, has two Oranje caps to his name and was included in his country's 23-man squad for Euro 2012.

God revealed Himself to Moses as a fire which burns but does not consume. Lev Gillet, an Orthodox monk, uses this symbol of God as the center of a meditation on the life of a Christian. Jesus, Gillet tells us, is the fullest manifestation of the God who revealed himself to Moses in the burning bush. He is the one who shows us how to undertake the way he lived, a way which reveals "the God of Limitless Love, the love which burns but does not consume."

"It's 80% script and 20% you get great actors. There's nothing else to it." – William Wyler

William Wyler Blogathon: Dead End (1937)
"It's 80% script and 20% you get great actors. There's nothing else to it." – William Wyler
29 comments:
Thanks for such a lovely post on this great film. You really show how Wyler emphasized his characters in his movies, showing them in all their humanity. Toland's cinematography really gives us a sense of the lives these people inhabit and what shapes and influences them. And I like your comment about Marjorie Main and Esther Dale later teaming in the Kettle pictures for comedy! Main is only in a few scenes in 'Dead End,' but she's so brilliant, conveying her despair and hopelessness; her scene with Humphrey Bogart is the most memorable in the film. She really had acting chops!ReplyDelete
This has always been a movie that I have wanted to see, and yet I have never found it. I am a huge Wyler fan and there are so many actors that I love in this movie as well. Your review sounds even better than I would have expected, and I hope I get to see it soon .ReplyDelete
Bogart did not like working with Wyler, but it was because of his work with him in this film that he finally started to getting more recognition for his acting. Nice post, CW.ReplyDelete
In this, and "The Little Foxes" Wyler shows how effective he was in transplanting plays to the movie screen. I never felt I was watching a play. Oddly, I recently watched "The Desperate Hours" and thought it was too opened-up.ReplyDelete
"Dead End" would make a neat double feature with "Angels with Dirty Faces". In both films, neighborhood heroes, hoodlums, have a very different effect on the boy's lives.
Another splendid post, CW.
GrandOldMoves, there is a non-judgmental empathy for all of the characters in "Dead End". I think it's a fascinating film full of wonderful performances that gets better in time.ReplyDelete
Birdie Hicks would NEVER look so untidy!
Lasso the Movies, I too hope you get to see "Dead End" soon. It was the first time my daughter ever saw Humphrey Bogart and it made her a fan for life.ReplyDelete
Isn't it the way, Kim? Bogie may not have enjoyed the process of working with Wyler and making the film, but he certainly can't argue with the role it played in his career.ReplyDelete
I can do that, Kevin. I can have a "Dead End"/"Angels With Dirty Faces" double bill thanks to my combination VHS/DVD player.ReplyDelete
I love the fact that we can see some of the really great plays in the movies, especially when done in the spirit of appreciation that William Wyler brought to the adaptions.
Very nice post on a great film. Goldwyn and Wyler were a dynamic duo - both men of great taste who did not put their personalities on display.ReplyDelete
Thank you, FlickChick. Sometimes the right people come together and do good work, and we benefit.ReplyDelete
A very thoughtful post on the movie and its interesting characters. I've never seen it, but I'm going to watch for it!ReplyDelete
Great insights, and great writing from you, as usual, on this pivotal film. Wyler and Toland strike again. Kevin's remark above on Wyler's ability to translate plays in such an excellent manner is well taken. I think of "The Heiress" as a fine example of this.ReplyDelete
A wonderful post on one of mt favorite Wyler films. While the set design was amazing I do wish they could have filmed it in NY. It would have lent a touch of realism to it all. Just my opinion. Toland's cinematography adds a lot and the acting is perfect and Bogart is Bogart, what could be better. Excellent post!ReplyDelete
CW, wonderful post about one of my favorite Wyler films and certainly among his most influential. Having just written about DETECTIVE STORY, I now know that Wyler adapted two Sidney Kingsley Broadway plays!ReplyDelete
Caftan Woman, a post that clearly shows your tremendous enthusiasm for this film and the lengths you were willing to go to do it justice. I'm pleased you picked it for your contribution to the Wyler blogathon. I particularly liked the space you devoted to that great set and DP Toland's photography of it. I know that Wyler wanted a more realistic, outdoor setting, but I agree that the wonderfully stylized set is almost hyper-realistic in its effect.ReplyDelete
One of my favorite things about the movie is Sylvia Sidney. She's one of the great and greatly neglected American actresses of the 1930s. 1937 was a tremendous year for great performances by actresses--one of the two or three best ever, I think--and she gave two dynamite performances that year, here and in Fritz Lang's "You Only Live Once."
Wyler, free of any studio to direct where and what he wanted was the best thing that ever happen to us, the audience.
Whenever I read or hear Bogart referred to as "Babyface" I have to laugh. Yeah right! But anyway, perfect casting in every role. I'm such a big fan of Sylvia Sidney's anyway but I really enjoyed her performance under the direction of Wyler.
You've done such a beautiful job here on letting anyone who hasn't had the chance to see this one want to rush out and find it.
Shot so cleverly as you've shown with your perfect choice of screen shots and I enjoyed the back story on how Dead End came to be.
Some things just seem to fall together so effortlessly like getting to purchase a successful screenplay, get Hellman to adapt it then the icing is Wyler saying yes.
A wonderful contribution to the Wyler Blogathon.
Fabulous overview of a film I know I must have seen but simply can't remember. Maybe I'll watch it again.ReplyDelete
Enjoyed reading your take on it, naturally.
What a cast!!
I really like this film and you do it justice. Even though some complain that Goldwyn wouldn't allow the set to be dirty enough, Wyler once again uses human emotion to convey what's going on so well that you don't need the grime. The intricate set itself, like you mentioned, is a marvel!ReplyDelete
Great post Caftan Woman. Dead End has a gteat ensemble cast, and as you point out, the sets were wonderfully done. They sort of have that stage set feel to them, which enhances the film rather than detracts from it. Thanks for your very thorough and enlightening post.ReplyDelete
I've been wanting to see this film for awhile and your excellent post is enough to make me bump it to the top of my list. I like Esther Howard too, such a great character actress. And I love all the screencaps you have, they really capture that trapped, claustrophobic atmosphere you describe.ReplyDelete
Thank you all for your kind words about my post on "Dead End" and sharing your thoughts on this excellent Wyler film.ReplyDelete
For those of you who now have it on your "must-see" lists - enjoy!
"Dead End," like all the best of William Wyler's films, satisfies with many viewings. A fascinating tale, beautifully constructed and filmed (no mystery why Wyler preferred Gregg Toland) - plus an amazing cast (a shout out to Joel McCrea). I never tire of this one. Well done.ReplyDelete
I feel the same way, Lady Eve. I can't imagine a time when I will ever tire of watching "Dead End".ReplyDelete
Patricia, as a fan of Bogart as well as Wilder, I've been wanting to see this for ages - must now make sure to do so very soon! Great posting and choice of pictures - an excellent contribution to the blogathon. JudyReplyDelete
Thanks a lot, Judy. I have no doubt that "Dead End" will live up to your expectations.ReplyDelete
I also love how in this film you have, Rich, poor, kindhearted and hardhearted all trying to live together, in the same neighborhood. Wonderful reviewReplyDelete
Thank you, Dawn. It is surprising to me that the play, although popular in regional and community theatre, has never had a Broadway revival - and no one was tried to musicalize it. As you say, it's all there!ReplyDelete
Outstanding post, CW. All I can say is -- I am going to dig out my VHS copy of Dead End and watch it again right now.ReplyDelete
My work here is done!ReplyDelete
PS: My copy is a DVD bought at a second-hand shop for $4. Bargain!

St. Nick's Day
I was hoping to have some great news to share on this, the feast day of my movie's namesake, but we're still a little ways out. I thought then that I might let slip a little bit of extra material we've been sitting on for some time, but as it turns out I don't have those hard drives with me. And so...nothing. No news, no festivals. All is quiet for the time being. And sitting here, next to our Christmas tree, with the heater on and a glass of wine at my elbow, waiting for the door to open, I must admit: this particular silence is actually quite nice for once.

When I have done designs for low temperatures in the past other then thermal

Do you happen to know what the actual failure mode was with the crystals? I
have seen oscillators fail to start but it was because of low gain and not
mechanical issues with the crystals.

Do you mean the allowable temperature rise from junction to ambient temperature?
If the power dissipation and thermal resistance does not change then the
difference should not change. You still need to derate everything to keep sane
junction temperatures or course which gets tricky at a Ta of 85C. My rule of
thumb was generally a maximum Tj of 85C but that would lead to zero power at a
Ta of 85C. You end up with odd things like TO-220 regulators using 20 watt heat
sinks to operate at 1/10th of their maximum load.
>Be careful, you'll find many companies who claim "-40 - 85C" who can't

I suspect it comes down to relying on a company making products for the
industrial market instead of the consumer or business market.

Best Moment: When Galifianakis attempts to make Cera tickle his thigh (with disappointing results).
The interview ends in a dance party giggle-fit of "tickle Me Elmo" proportions.
Massa said the tickle fight broke out in honor of his 50th birthday.
And like a tickle in the throat before a cough or the awful urge to sneeze, it comes: the morbid desire to stare at the shame.
Because we have all felt that little tug, tickle, or impulse to be antiseptically and impersonally naughty?
He snorted and jerked his head as the acrid fumes began to tickle his nostrils and smart his eyes.
Ingrow shrilled, "tickle him, prick him, pink him till he drinks!"
That it does not tickle your ears, cling to your memory, and haunt you as a theme in music haunts a composer?
It was as if some feather of thought had begun to tickle him.
If Mr. Ormond and Captain Butler must tickle sword-points one day, that is no cause for dolorous looks or hot words--no!
early 14c. (intransitive) "to be thrilled or tingling," of uncertain origin, possibly a frequentative form of tick (2) in its older sense of "to touch." The Old English form was tinclian. Some suggest a metathesis of kittle (Middle English kytyllen), from Dutch kietelen, from a common North Sea Germanic word for "to tickle" (cf. Old Norse kitla, Old High German kizzilon, German kitzeln).
Meaning "to excite agreeably" (late 14c.) is a translation of Latin titillare. Meaning "to touch lightly so as to cause a peculiar and uneasy sensation" is recorded from late 14c.; that of "to poke or touch so as to excite laughter" is from early 15c.; figurative sense of "to excite, amuse" is attested from 1680s. Related: Tickled; tickling. The noun is recorded from 1801.

Most moving services prefer to give non-binding quotes,
which help to protect the interests of both parties. Bear in mind that
movers may add on a margin to binding quotes to compensate for
estimation errors.
Many people feel that they can get lower moving rates if they approach house moving companies directly, instead of going through brokers. The fact is that brokers may give you better deals, because they have wide networks of contacts, which help them to find out about the lowest moving rates.
Some brokers also own trucks, and there are relocation services that also operate as brokers. The legal responsibility of a broker ends as soon as arrangements have been made with a moving service to transport your possessions. Despite this, brokers may give you better service than house movers.
To find out about the best deals, you can obtain quotes moving from city movers as well as brokers.
We can help you to get free no-obligations movers quotes from the best movers in your area with a few clicks. We make sure that the home movers are licensed and insured and that they have been providing outstanding customer service.

The many reasons to support technology in the classroom
Whereas technology in the classroom once meant teaching basic computer software and fundamental computer skills, nowadays technology is being integrated in ways that supplement lesson plans regardless of the subject matter. Students are utilizing technology to tackle projects, which helps them get a more realistic grasp on how to handle projects outside of the classroom and in the professional arena. Utilizing programs that professionals use better prepares students for life after they have earned their diplomas or degrees, making them more attractive to prospective employers and more capable once they are hired.
Another way technology in the classroom is benefitting today's students is the wealth of resources that technology can provide. Classes connected to the Internet, for instance, give students access to the latest information about topics they're studying. This can include up-to-date studies and theories from experts in the field or, for current events students, instant access to what is going on in their community and beyond. Such accessibility was unimaginable as recently as 15 years ago, but is quickly becoming commonplace, and benefiting students along the way.
Technology in the classroom can also help teachers. Students learn in their own ways, but teachers faced with growing class sizes and fewer resources often find it hard to connect with students who might not respond to the same teaching methods as their classmates. Technology can provide teachers with another avenue by which to reach their students, helping to engage those students who might otherwise have been turned off or lacked the necessary initiative to excel in school.
Teachers may also find that technology in the classroom makes it easier to reach students. That's because kids tend to find technology fun, even if it's part of the learning process. In a study sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education that reported on the experiences of teachers and students in classrooms where technology was incorporated, teachers responded that, in many instances, students chose to work on technology-based projects during recess or lunch.
As classrooms continue to change, the role of technology figures to expand. That expanded role can benefit students and teachers alike in a variety of ways.

History of a Dietitian
History of a Dietitian :
The United States Public Health Service (PHS) celebrated its bicentennial year in 1998. Its mission is to promote the health of the nation, understand and prevent disease, assure safe and effective drugs and devices, deliver health care services, and supply health expertise in time of national emergencies. Whether serving as either
Civil Servants
Commissioned Officers
, dietitians and public health nutritionists play an integral part in the mission of this distinguished service.
During the late nineteenth century, records indicate that proper nutrition and nourishment of hospitalized patients were regulated under the direction of a hospital steward. By 1902, preparation and food service responsibilities were charged to pharmacists, the only professional personnel other than the medical officers attached to the hospitals. The importance of nutrition and dietetics in the provision of health care quickly became recognized as a required component of hospital care.
The service of dietitians and nutritionists in the PHS dates back to the year 1919. During that year, the first dietetic section was organized in the PHS Division of Hospitals which operated a medical care program for American seamen. These hospitals were primarily located in port cities with in-patient capacities ranging from about 100 to 1,000 beds.
Ms Hallie Corsette, the first dietitian employed by the PHS, was accorded the title Superintendent of Dietitians. She supervised this newly created dietetic section of the Division of Hospitals. The dietitians were placed under the organizational structure of the medical officer in charge of a facility. Ms. Corsette spent the majority of her time planning dietary departments and recruiting dietitians for the hospitals. By the close of 1919, there were approximately 85 dietitians in the Division of Hospitals; that number doubled over the next two years. During those early years, a dietitian's duties were focused chiefly on the purchase, preparation and delivery of food.
In 1919, the PHS was charged with the responsibility of furnishing medical and hospital care to sick and disabled veterans of World War I. In 1922 the Veterans Bureau was established to provide on-going medical care to war veterans. As a result, the responsibility for supervising many of the Public Health Service Hospitals was transferred to the Veterans Bureau, later known as the
Veterans Administration
. Over 145 PHS dietitians were transferred to those facilities to care for disabled war veterans. The remaining PHS dietitians were placed under the general direction of the Office of Nursing, Division of Hospitals. Although the dietetic section was abolished as a result of the transfers, dietitians continued with their primary duties of food service administration and took on the additional role of providing patient nutrition education.
During the Second World War, PHS dietitians worked as part of the Civil Defense Mobilization Program. They were responsible for developing recommendations for foods, food storage, equipment and service that could be used if communities suffered bombing attacks.
The functions and responsibilities of the PHS expanded rapidly during the late 1930s and the early 1940s. Likewise, the role of dietitians within the PHS continued to expand beyond the hospital setting as dietitians were hired by state and local health departments. The creation of the Children's Bureau in 1912 provided states with grant-in-aid for Maternal and Child Health, Crippled Children's Services (Title V) and Child Welfare (Title IV). Subsequently, in 1936 Ms Marjorie M. Heseltine was employed as the first nutrition consultant in the Children's Bureau. Five years later, the Bureau hired a second consultant, Ms Helen Stacey.
In 1942 the PHS established mobile field units to conduct nutrition appraisals in selected states. A medical officer was also assigned to work as a nutrition consultant for public health officials. Nutrition clinics were developed in a few state and local health departments. Today, both the
Maternal and Child Health Bureau
and the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
still continue to play a vital role in providing nutrition leadership and expertise to the state and local health departments.
As the work of the PHS expanded and the science of public health developed, the need for collaboration between related professionals in the public health field became evident. With the passage of the Public Health Service Act in 1944, a series of laws were passed which significantly affected the nation's medical research, training efforts and increased health services in the United States. The expansion of the PHS required people with additional specialized skills that could be rapidly deployed in response to public health emergencies. The Regular Commissioned Corps was expanded to include dietitians, nurses, veterinarians, scientists, physical therapists, and sanitarians, and other health professionals.
The authority to commission dietitians as PHS officers was granted on July 1, 1944. At that time, the dietetic section of the Division of Hospitals was reestablished. Ms Marjorie Wood, the first commissioned dietitian and the PHS Commissioned Corps' first Chief Dietitian, headed the unit. The section was renamed the Dietetic Branch, Office of Professional Services, and was charged with the responsibility of developing, establishing and maintaining dietetic standards in PHS hospitals; a major emphasis was placed on therapeutic nutrition and teaching programs.

The hilarious baby announcements you have to see
You have to see these baby announcements! Baby announcements have gotten bigger and better since the "quiet announcement" our parents made.
In recent years, something of a tradition has begun where new parents announce their pregnancy news in a unique way. Baby announcements have taken on a life of their own (like my pun?).
Some choose the cute ultrasound pic shared on Facebook, other (clearly more Photoshop-savvy) parents decide to create a custom picture to send and share.
This set of parents-to-be, however, took it one step (make that 15 steps) further and created a funny, engaging and (if you didn't know what was coming) rather spooky video to share their happy news.
Check out their baby announcement
If you're looking for ideas on how to share your own happy news and don't have the movie-making skills that this couple has, don't despair – we've put together a gallery of some of our favourite pregnancy announcements from around the web. Inspired!

Roulette is a popular Casino Game that will have your adrenaline pumping. The thrilling sound of the Roulette Wheel spinning is attention grabbing for any casino player. However, first time players may be left feeling overwhelmed.
The French diminutive for the Roulette game is "little wheel". Since its invention, this "little wheel" has been anything but little when it comes to excitement and winning. During the 17th century, Frenchman Blaise Pascal was working on his probability studies which lead to the invention of what he called a perpetual motion machine. After a few modifications, this perpetual motion machine became known as the Roulette Wheel.
Roulette as we know it today, has been around since the late 17th century, originally in Paris. The earlier version of the game contained numbers 0-36 on the Roulette Wheel. Over the years this has given path for slight changes and new rules to be developed. In addition, new variants of the game have also been developed.
Great mystery and intrigue surround this fascinating game today. If a player were to add up all the numbers on the roulette wheel, they get a total of 666. This adds even more mystery to the game, as it is not clear what the significance of 666 is. Nonetheless, Roulette is still a popular choice for many casino players.
The Internet revolution has generated an increased interest in this already popular casino game. One significant difference players face in this fast paced casino game is the spinning of the Roulette Wheel. In majority of land based casinos, the Roulette Wheel never stops spinning which can be intimidating for beginner players. However, with Online Roulette players get to spin the Roulette Wheel when they are ready.
There are some basic features which may make first time players feel stuck whether to play or not. With a new meaning given to roulette- "wheel of fortune" no payer should ever feel stuck.
