As a leader, trust is built on three things:
The ability to repair trust as fast as possible
Bases of power
Behaviors of the leader
Percieved fairness
Sound moral and ethical principles
All of the above
What all is included to avoid escalation of commitment to a losing course of action?
SET LIMITS Ideally, a team should determine at the outset what criteria and performance standards justify continued investment in the project or program in question.
AVOID THE BYSTANDER EFFECT: In many situations, especially ambiguous ones, people are not sure how to behave and do nothing because they don't want to appear foolish. This dynamic explains the bystander effect, or the tendency to not take action when others are around.
AVOID TUNNEL VISION: Get several perspectives on the problem. Ask people who are not personally involved in the situation for their appraisal.
RECOGNIZE SUNK COSTS: Probably the most powerful way to avoid escalation of commitment is to simply recognize and accept sunk costs. Sunk costs are resources, such as money and time, previously invested that cannot be recovered. If making the initial decision today, would you make the investment currently under consideration (as a continuing investment), or would you choose another course of action? If the decision is not one that you would choose anew, you might want to start thinking about how to terminate the project and move to the next one.
AVOID BAD MOOD: Unpleasant emotional states are often implicated in poor decision making. Negative affect (such as bad mood, anger, and embarrassment) leads to nonoptimal courses of action—holding out the hope for some highly positive but risky outcome. When people are upset, they tend to choose high-risk, high-payoff options.
EXTERNAL REVIEW: In some cases, it is necessary to remove or replace the original decision makers from deliberations precisely because they are biased. One way to do this is with an external review of departments
What are the dimensions of transformational leadership?
Charisma or idealized influence:
Inspirational motivation
Individual Consideration
Intellectual Stimulation
Contingent Rewards
Informal recognition
Formal Recognition: refers to an individual and/or group providing contingently informal genuine acknowledgement, approval, and appreciation for work well done
What is part of the Big Five?
Conscientiousness, Agreeableness, Neuroticism, Opennes to experience, Extraversion
Completeness, Agreeablenss, Neuroticism, Opneness to experience, Extraversion
Conscientiousness, Agreeableness, Emotional intelligence, Opennes to experience, Extraversion
Conscientiousness, Agreeableness, Emotional intelligence, Opennes to experience, Motivation
Team rewards may foster competition between teams, leading to suboptimization of the organizational goals.
Creating a bonus pool may be created based on the performance of the entire team. The bonus pool can be divided among the individuals who are members of the team based on how well the individuals performed is trying to avoid what?
Halo Bias
Cutthroat cooperation effect
Percieved unfariness
Level 1 of repairing trust is: Situation or Person. Relative easy, the situation. People subtract the effect of the situation and attribute what remains to the actor. Provide an external excuse and justification.
These fault lines may split a group into subgroups and provide an informal structure for intragroup conflict/Groups with strong fault lines are more likely to identify not with their group as a whole, but rather, with sub groups inside the team
What is missing to improve creativity in groups?
Create a functionally diverse team
Empower the team
Make it a competition
Use the anonymous nominal group technique
Establish a team charter
Set high quantity goals
Utilize informal recognition
Team members with lots of weak ties are best
Informal recognition refers to an individual and/or group providing contingently informal genuine acknowledgement, approval, and appreciation for work well done
LMX Theory: The leader-member-exchange model (LMX) focuses on the relationships that leaders develop with particular subordinates and what leaders of subordinates offer and receive in such relationships
Men are perceived as: independent, assertive and rational – autocratic style while women are perceived as: Women are more emotional, relationship focused, and accommodating – democratic style
What impacts creativity?
Being in groups
Being hungry
Level 3 of repairing trust is: Fixable or Fixed. You have to convince others that it was a stupid mistake and that it will not continue in the future. Each time you move down the level it becomes more difficult to repair trust. Will these issues persist into the future or not? Identify, acknowledge and assume responsibility. Offer an apology that acknowledges both guilt and regret. Voluntarily pay back the violation of the circumstance(s)
Halo Effect: It's when we make an inference about specific traits on the basis of a general impression. It's a mental short cut as we tend to grasp with relevant and tangible information, like performance. So we take that relevant information and make attributions about other stuff that are more vague or ambiguous. Pretty much a rule of thumb that lets people make guess about things that are hard to assess directly.
If you are repairing trust at level 3 what should you do?
Now the issue is whether or not these issues will persist into the future
•Identify, acknowledge, and assume responsibility
•Offer an apology (guilt + regret)
•Voluntarily paying a financial penalty
The most comprehensive way in which trust can be repaired is by affecting the truth of the violation
•Challenge the notion
•Provide tangible evidence
•Provide verbal denials (as long as consistent with the evidence)
Observers subtract the effect of the situation and attribute what remains to the actor
•Provide an external excuse
•Provide a justification
Skill variety, task identity, task significance, autonomy, feedback are all part of what?
Job Design
Improving group creativity
Ways to avoid groupthink
Groupthink: A mode of thinking that people engage in when they are deeply involved in a cohesive in-group, when the members' strivings for unanimity override their motivation to realistically appraise alternative courses of action
Framing bias: The inconsistency is a preference reversal and reveals the framing bias. Almost any decision can be refrained as a gain or a loss relative to something
Four main principles:
1. Difficult specific goals lead to significantly higher performance than easy goals, no goals, or even the setting of an abstract goal such as urging people to do their best
2. Given goal commitment, the higher the goal the higher the performance
3. Incentives lead to the setting of and commitment to a specific difficult goal

Door-in-the-face technique
That's-not-all technique

4) The key is to be systematic and disciplined when using the checklist
The following helps to avoid what? "Many teams are afraid of being blamed for poor decisions—even decisions for which it would have been impossible to predict the outcome. Often, face-saving concerns prevent people from changing course, even when the current course is clearly doubtful. Teams that are given an excuse for poor performance before knowing the outcome of their decision are less likely to succumb to groupthink than teams that do not have an excuse."
Hidden profiles
Being "hangry"
The following best describes The "Risk Technique" to avoid groupthink: "a structured discussion situation designed to reduce group members' fears about making decisions. The goal is to create an atmosphere in which team members can express doubts and raise criticisms without fear of rejection or hostility from the team"

How does mood impact creativity?
Positive mood promotes more expansive, divergent thinking, novelty, and playfulness
Dual-tuning model: Negative mood can help you determine which ideas are useful
Negative mood: can help think critically and how useful the idea is
The following is how to avoid escalation of commitment to a losing course of action: Set Limits, Avoid the bystander effect, avoid tunnel vision, recognize sunk costs, avoid bad mood and use an external review
Role Congruity Theory: proposes that a group will be positively evaluated when its characteristics are recognized as aligning with that group's typical social roles. For example: we assume teams with male leaders will be successful because their characteristics match up with the characteristics of a good leader.

Cinema. Azerbaijan is one of the few countries with a film-making history dating back to the 19th century. The Baku photographer, A. Mishon, shot documentary footage of several local scenes and a short humorous film, and showed them to an audience on 2 August 1898. This date is regarded as marking the start of cinema in Azerbaijan, and is celebrated every year, by presidential decree. At the beginning of the last century, when the oil boom was at its height, a number of well-known foreign film companies (Pathé, Pirone, Filma, etc.) made feature films in Azerbaijan. In 1910, the country had 14 cinemas, some of them specially built. Mobile cinemas served outlying areas. Important in the history of national cinema was the feature film, "In the Kingdom of Oil and Millions", based on I. Musabekov's novel and starring the outstanding Azerbaijani actor, G. Arablinsky.
The Soviets regarded the cinema as vital to the ideological education of the proletariat, and so all aspects of film-making were state-controlled. The state itself had firm views on what the cinema should be doing - and these dictated the thematic and ideological content of all the films produced. The same standards were applied in buying foreign films for distribution in the USSR. The few exceptions only confirmed the rule. Film-makers in Azerbaijan were subject to all these ideological and artistic constraints, and their work inevitably followed the standard Soviet line. On a certain level, however, national cinema could assert itself, and there were some masters, with their own creative style, who managed to leave a distinctive mark on it. For example, "Arshin mal alan" and "O olmasin, bu olsun" became "cult" films, gave several generations of Azerbaijanis a new sense of national identity - and are still influential today. Towards the end of the Soviet era, Azerbaijanfilm, the country's only studio, was turning out 7 or 8 films a year commissioned by the State Cinema and the Central Soviet Television Service. Its annual output also included 20-25 documentaries and 2-3 animated films. From the earliest days, some 240 full-length features, over 50 short features, over 1,200 documentaries and about 100 animated films were made in our country.
The situation of Azerbaijan's cinema-industry today needs to be seen in terms of the country's general situation, which has been the same for over ten years, and is rooted in the transition from a planned to a market economy. Obviously, film production and film distribution are equally affected. In 1990-1993, film production, which is a hugely costly business, lost all the backing it had previously received from the state - at that time, its only customer for feature, documentary and animated films. Around the same time, various private structures, with money to put into film-making, started to appear. In the early 1990s, about 20 private studios - headed by directors who were setting out to make films with their own money - came into being. Rapid inflation in the first half of the decade quickly made a number of private banks, investment companies, etc. very rich, and some of them decided to invest in film production. With the help of these funds, 4-5 films were turned out annually in the early nineties.
However, the activity of private investors decreased, and the reason was that films fail to yield the expected returns. Fifteen full-length feature films were made on private money between 1991 and 1993. Between 1994 and 1997, there were only 8. In 1998-2001, there have been none. In succeeding years films of moderate cost, shot on private sources began to appear in the markets. At the moment, 2-3 short documentary films are spasmodically funded ever year from private sources. The independent producer companies, engaging in the production of preview trailers, musical clips, and realization of moderate cinematographic projects have been established.
Practically the only source of funding in Azerbaijan today is the state, which commissions films from the state studios: features from Azerbaijanfilm, documentaries from Salname and Yaddash, animated films from Azanfilm, Debut. Moreover, the independent producer centers are also drawning into the shooting of films. Averagely, the state spent approximately 300 thousand manats for a fiction film. 3-4 full-length features, 4-5 documentaries, 1-2 animated films are shot and newsreel footage for the national film archive is executed. Since 2006, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism has recruit young directors to the film shooting. Three debutants shot the first commercial short length documentary films in the same year, and in 2007 five short length and three full length films were shot. The activity of the studio "Debut" has been restored.
Through the adoption of the order of the Head of State on development of national film, big perspectives were opened for the cinematography of the country. The series of fundamental measures have been taken for investment of means in renewal of industrial basis of "Azerbaijanfilm" cinema, in perfection of normative-legal basis of the films, development of film networks, and especially in modernization of "Nizami" cinema - the biggest one in the country and etc. The Azerbaijani film industry has the professionals it needs to succeed - specialists, who trained as directors or scriptwriters at VGIK (one of the world's best film schools) in Moscow. The Baku University of Culture and the Arts runs courses for directors, cameramen, scriptwriters, set-designers, actors, etc.
Looking at the present state of film in Azerbaijan, it is clear that we need to give private-sector production a new impetus. We have embarked on market reform, and we need to absorb and apply the lessons which other countries' cinema industries can teach us. The restructuring of state involvement in film-making has generated a new interest in co-production. Several films part-funded from Russian sources are now in the pipeline, and an intergovernmental agreement with Russia is being prepared for signing.
One aspect of cinema, which has no commercial potential, but is important solely from the film heritage standpoint, is the acquisition and storage of significant home-produced and foreign films. In 1993, the Government set up the State Film Archive for this purpose, giving it premises and a budget of its own. One of only two film archives in former Soviet countries, it joined the International Federation of Film Archives in 2000. At present, the new building is constructed for the State Film Archive that will be supplied with the modern technological equipment. With the support of Azerbaijan Cinematography Unions - the public organization, combining in itself the creative film workers, the international film festival "Eats-West" is yearly held in Azerbaijan. The international and other film festivals are held in Azerbaijan. An Azerbaijani cinema encyclopedia - a major work covering the home industry, and also film-making and film-makers world-wide - has been in preparation for several years. The Cinema Act was passed by the Milli Mejlis in 1998. It guarantees state support for the national film industry, protects the creative freedom and copyright of film-makers, and regulates various other matters.

Number of titles
Circulation (in thousands of copies)
Private publishers and printing firms started to appear in Azerbaijan after 1991. State control of these sectors was relaxed, and censorship was abolished in 1998. State involvement in publishing fell off sharply, although both the state and private sectors revived to start with. A number of previously banned books were published in great quantity. The revival was short-lived, however. The problems associated with the switch to a market economy also negatively hit book-publishing. The public's diminished purchasing power, shortages of paper and other printing materials, and also publishers' inability to adapt flexibly to the market economy and loss of state subsidies, were the main causes of the down-turn of book-production in the country.
Publishing is regulated by the Publishing Act and the relevant sections of other laws. Under the Act on State Registration of Legal Entities, anyone may set up in business as a publisher or printer, a license is not required. In Azerbaijan there are functioning more than 200 publishing houses and publishing-polygraphist firms. Most are in Baku, though there are some publishers in Gandja, Nakhchivan, Sumgayit, Gabala and in other places. Political literature aimed at a mass readership was the main staple under the Soviets, although scientific and literary works, children's books and other genres were also plentiful. Specialized publishers emerged in the seventies and eighties. For example, Maarif specialized in textbooks and education, Azerneshr and Yazichi in literature, Gandjlik in books for children and young people, Ishig in posters, photographic books and art books, and Elm in scientific publications. Foreign works were also published on a massive scale. In the eighties, Gandjlik published 53 titles (40,000 volumes) in its "World Library of Children's Literature". Yazichi also started to publish its "Library of World Literature" in 100 volumes, and published more than 30 books of this series. But the recession put an end to this venture.
Specialized cultural journals are now far more numerous than they were under the Soviets. Newcomers include the magazine, "Khazar", the newspaper, "Culture", and the "World of Music" and "Arts" series. Most of these are published by creative unions. "Azerbaijan", "Ulduz", "Khazar", "Gobustan" magazines and "Literature" newspaper are the editions of the Union of Writers, which supports them financially by budgetary funds. The magazine "World of Music" of the Union of Composers, and the "Arts" - of the Union of Artists are financed by the money, which come from sell. Although the number of such journals has increased, circulations are vastly lower than in the Soviet era. At that time, specialized publications like "Teaching Culture" and the "Gobustan" series had circulations of 5-10 thousand, while their popular counterparts, "Azerbaijan", "Ulduz" and "Literature and the Arts" sold 40-50 thousand copies. The figure for most of today's publications is about 500 copies. The only exceptions are "Teaching Culture" and "Culture". These are published by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, are sold to subscribers, and varies between 1,500-2,500 readers.
Title of publication
"Teaching Culture"
"Music World"
A comprehensive book distribution system was set up by the Soviets. "Azerkitab", the book trade department in the Ministry of Press and Information, was responsible for sales in the towns. Sales in the country were handled by "Kendkoopkitab", the book trade arm of "Azerittifag". Rural libraries were stocked from the Central Fund. When the market economy arrived, this whole system broke down. Most of the "Azerkitab" shops have been privatized and now deal in other commodities. At present, publishers and authors are themselves involved in distribution. The activities of the private bookshops are not satisfactory, and their links with publishing-commercial enterprises are tenuous.

NEW YORK, Feb 14 (Reuters) - Moody's Investors Service on Thursday put Jamaica's sovereign rating on review for downgrade on a domestic debt exchange program that has already seen the country cut by two other major rating agencies this week.
Moody's said it was placing Jamaica's B3 on review "as a result of the authorities' announcement that the government will pursue a debt restructuring involving a debt exchange that will affect US $9.1 million in domestic debt..." the agency said in a statement.
Rating agencies Fitch and Standard & Poor's on Tuesday cut Jamaica's ratings on the debt exchange program.
S&P cut Jamaica's rating to SD, or selective default. Fitch cut the country to C.

Well, the user *could* use the interface in a document centric way. Having a dersignated Documents folder is start. The question remains, however, how a *new* file is created.

Scholarly Expertise / Activity
- Prevalence and risk factors for use of personal protection equipment among workers
- Test of effectiveness of interventions to change health behavior
- Understanding adoption of self-protective behavior among workers
Workers are exposed to a variety of toxic materials and substances as part of their work. These exposures are prevalent in America, and result in heavy social and economic burdens on families and communities. There are few programs to control these exposures, and fewer yet have been tested. The aim of Dr. Marjorie McCullagh's program of research is to promote health among workers by eliminating work-related toxic exposures. This work is primarily focused on toxic noise exposure and its multiple negative health effects among farm operators and farm and rural youth.
She has worked to understand how farmers and workers get information about their health and safety and developed and validated instruments to measure hearing protector use and related attitutes. In doing so, she has developed successful strategies for high subject enrollment and retention, and established strong interdisciplinary partnership in efforts to address important health issues. These include work with such fields as sociology, health communications and behavior, audiology, agronomy, web design, social work, demography, and applied statistics.

America differs from other countries because she was begun by people that took on the task of being responsible by themselves. They got their axes along with their rifles, their own wives, kids, and went out and chiseled out a culture in the forests while the whole time fighting off Indians, wild animals plus finding out how to survive from the stretch of land. Not all people survived, nonetheless those who could grew to become strong and also self-reliant, plus they in addition to their children formed the particular central source of the United States of America making it to produce a wonderful country.
Many things have changed ever since the times of the particular pioneers, yet one thing that has not yet transformed is that in the significant sphere of people that tough, self-sufficient mindset regarding survival lives on. These tend to be the people who are willing to take whatever challenges are necessary and to carry out whatever it takes in order to get a task finished as well as to keep still living and keep their loved ones and their property free from danger. These Americans usually do not look to other people to accomplish on their behalf what they can achieve by themselves. Moreover, they don't really look for the government to supply them or to come to be their very own guard. They are simply self-sufficient, and so they take on the responsibility for themselves.
These folks furthermoretend not to take the status quo for granted, or even think that the long run is assured. They really are aware, they give thought to what is happening on the planet, and so they look at the indications. They may not be alarmists, but they're pragmatic and realistic, and so they believe in becoming prepared. They already know there tend to be a variety of circumstances that are definitely possible, or even doable, that can modify the way all of us are living eternally. Warfare, the power grid simply being sabataged by terrorists and going down indefinitely, diseases as well as natural catastrophe are common possible possibilities by which American culture might quickly and maybe eternally shift, at the very least for your near future.
Were this kind of circumstance to be, there are certain things that individuals will have to have. Liquid is a main resource, as is a heat source, and also refuge. Food items are one other. Many individuals have started to stockpile important products, and thus look to suppliers such as Allen Baler with Food4Patriots (http://www.inquisitr.com/1218186/food4patriots-say-people-are-now-taking-the-possibility-of-a-doomsday-scenario-seriously/) to buy food items which might be saved forever with out deteriorating. Food4Patriots sells already manufactured systems regarding high quality foods which will supply healthy foods by adding nothing more than boiling water. Every meal kit will be ranked for storage of up to 25 years or so, which makes this a genuine resource once acquired, can possibly also be passed down to your little ones. Meal systems are actually packed within lightweight, water resistant, portable, secure storage totes.
The ideal case scenario is actually that people happen to be ready for a genuine catastrophic event which will never takes place. This just isn't actually an actual negative detail. Nevertheless the worst case circumstance would be that the occasion really does occur … and individuals may not be prepared.

The diaries of Lewis and Clark are filled with cantankerous laments about having to tour the wilderness by foot and the startling lack of trailside fast-food options. Equip yourself with a discoverer's eyes and a Robocop's wheels with today's Groupon. Choose between two beachside Segway tours:
- For $39, you get a two-hour tour through Santa Monica (a $79 value) from Segway Los Angeles.
- For $39, you get a two-hour tour through Long Beach (a $79 value) from Segway of Long Beach.
Whether you're gripped by the spirit of exploration or have always wondered what it's like to outrun gulls on an electric-powered and emission-free Segway i2, these guided journeys will satisfy your cravings. Friendly and knowledgeable guides lead you through a quick training session so you can glide with confidence. While you won't drop from the balanced safety of your vehicle, your jaw and elbows may as you witness the stunning landscape of Long Beach peppered by such attractions as the Queen Mary, the Lighthouse for Sight, and Rainbow Harbor, or blaze a balanced trail along the sandy sidelines of Santa Monica and the Venice Beach boardwalk.
Each rolling saunter will load your wonderment with facts on local landmarks and the fascinating history that developed the areas over time. Tours run daily from 10 a.m. until 7 p.m. at both locations, although they are subject to the whims of availability and mercurial Norse deities, so call ahead to make your reservation to surpass the outdated mode of walking as you careen over bridges, around lagoons, and along the ocean like a modern-day land-skiffer.

Know when it's an emergency
Sometimes it is difficult to know whether your problem is serious or not. Here are just a few examples of when you require emergency medical care - and you should call 911 or go to an emergency department.
- When you are experiencing pains or tightness in the chest
- When you have severe pain
- When you have shortness of breath
- When a person is choking or having difficulty breathing
- When you think you may have fractured or broken a bone, or have a wound that may need stitches
- When you have sudden, severe headaches, vision problems, sudden weakness, numbness and/or tingling in the face, arm or leg, trouble speaking, or dizziness
- If your child has diarrhea and vomiting and won't eat or drink
- When a baby under six month has a fever over 38.5°C (101°F)
If you have any doubts, call 911. The Emergency Medical service (EMS) paramedics will take you to the appropriate emergency department.
- The ambulance can't help you if they can't find you
- Stay calm - give clear information
- Clear a path to the patient - move furniture, unlock doors
- If possible have someone meet the ambulance
- Be sure your house number is clearly visible from the street
- If you live in a house - turn on the outside lights at night
- If you live in an apartment - try to meet the paramedics at the lobby door and have the elevator ready.
- Do not move the patient, unless life is threatened.
What to do
Be prepared to answer the following questions related to the patient's condition:
- Consciousness
- Breathing
- Bleeding
In the City of Kawartha Lakes, call the emergency number 911 for medical emergencies. Be sure to state your name, address of the emergency and phone number from where you are calling.

Demonstrations outside a few US Apple stores were organised by the Free Software Foundation's Defective by Design group. There's a video from San Francisco.

Ok, so this sucks, but it's my first JL fic I've ever even attempted. So please don't hate.
Characters are probably a little OOC because I haven't watched YJ in a while.
But hopefully someone out there will kinda like this, maybe.
Anyway, written for my own entertainment.
Meaning I didn't make anything off of it nor do I own anything.
All mistakes are mine. Rated T for subject matter and swearing. Enjoy.
*Titled after the album I was listening to while writing
Wally was zipping about all over Mount Justice. Crap crap crap crap crap! I'm gonna be in soooo much trouble if I don't find my homework! He muttered to himself. He was already pushing it time wise, and if he was tardy and homeworkless, well lets just say his teachers were gonna be pissed.
"Lose something?"
Spinning around, Wally found his best friend standing in the doorway. Chemistry book in hand. "Oh thank god" he heaved a relieved sigh. "Where'd you find it?"
Megan found it on the bioship under your seat." Dick replied. It was only when Wally stepped forward to claim the book that the light bruising on the speedsters face made itself known. "Dude, what happened to you?"
"Huh?" was the red head's genius reply.
"Your face, it's bruised. And it had to be really really bad if it's taking this long for it to fade."
"Oh, that's nothing. We are super heroes you know, kinda a dangerous gig." Wally answered, keeping his chin down and trying out one of the bat-family's moves: staying in the shadows.
"You were fine when you left yesterday" Dick pointed out.
"It'll be gone by the time I get to school, speaking of which…. Why aren't you in Gotham?"
The boy wonder chuckled, "I have my reasons."
"Uhuh. Well I need to get going, I'm screwed if I get another detention. Later." And in a blur Kid Flash was gone.
"Later" Dick said to himself.
That night, Wally crept silently into his house, hoping not to wake his father. Luckily Rudolph West was passed out on his couch, an empty bottle of Jack just within arms reach. The younger gave a sigh of relief as he crept up stairs into his bedroom. Sitting on his bed, Wally opened up his backpack. Pulling out a lunchbox and some books Wally got started on his homework. But he wasn't the only one burning the candle at both ends. Across the country in a dimly lit cave sat a robin doing some research of his own.
The batmobile pulled up, Robin barely even acknowledged the engines roar. It wasn't even until Batman was standing directly behind his ward that Dick even spoke.
"The Justice League requires that everything be documented right?"
He received a silent confirmation.
"So if anyone was to encounter a villain or crook today they would have to write up a report."
Again, silent confirmation.
"And if the Young Justice team operates under those same rules, why is there nothing listed under Flash's or KF's files for today."
Batman removed his cowl, "Why do you think there should be something listed?"
Dick heaved a sigh and turned to face his mentor, "Because Wally was at Mount Justice this morning and had a huge bruise covering half his face. It wasn't there last night, so it had to have happened this morning."
"Seeing how this is concerning Kid Flash, he most likely hasn't written up anything yet."
"Wally doesn't seem like the most reliable person, always doing things last minute, but that's just it. He does them; assignments are always on schedule, and he saves the day just in the nick of time. So I know that he would've turned in any reports for the day." Dick looked at the clock; it read 4am, "Which means everything was due just over four hours ago."
"Look into it some more tomorrow," Was Bruce's response. "In the meantime I suggest getting some sleep, you have school in a few hours. And you will be attending your classes."
Dick smirked and flipped out of the chair. Running up the stairs a faint 'goodnight Bruce' could just barely be heard.
Wally fell out of bed to the sound of his dad calling his name. Books and homework scattered the floor. The red head ran down stairs to meet an angry faced Rudolph.
"What the hell? You need to clean this crap up." Rudolph bellowed, kicking a can across the floor. The room was mainly cluttered with beer bottles and food wrappers from the man himself, but he still liked to blame Wally. "Sometimes I wonder why the hell I keep such a lazy ass around."
Heaving a sigh Wally scratched the back of his head. "I do to."
"What was that? Don't get smart with me boy, I'm your father."
"I'm not dad, I'll clean this up just let me-"
Rudolph slapped Wally across the face. Wally had seen it coming, but he made it a point not to use his powers in front of his dad; he didn't even want to think about what would happen if his dad found out he was the Kid Flash. So he took the hit, the strength behind it sent him to the floor. Rudolph followed with a few kicks to his son's stomach.
"Do what I tell you, WHEN I tell you." The man yelled. He grabbed Wally's arm and threw him across the room, either not hearing or not acknowledging the snap of the bone. "NOW!"
Wally slowly pulled himself to his knees as his father stormed out of the house. Shit. Only then did he notice his arm hanging loosely at his side. He limped upstairs and put together a makeshift brace, Batman had made sure everyone was trained in field first aid. Surprisingly, it came in handy more times when he was Wally instead of Kid Flash.
"Stupid. Stupid. Stupid." Wally muttered to himself. Should have remembered to clean everything up when I came in last night. It would've only taking a few seconds. But no, I was too busy thinking about all the homework Mr. Lan- Shit! School…
Being one of the fastest heroes on the planet did have an advantage. But Wally hadn't gotten all of his homework done. He'd been so hungry last night that he'd all but collapsed. And with no food in the house it was gonna take a while for all his newly accumulated injuries to heal. Not to mention his arm, a broken bone took a good week or two before it was good as new.
Wally kicked his bed in frustration.
"Ow ow ow ow…"
Definitely not one of his brighter moments.
"Ok, first things first," he zipped downstairs and cleaned everything. Living room, bathroom, his father's bed room. It was spotless of garbage, laundry was on to wash, and mail was sorted.
"Next, school." Running upstairs Wally did what he could of his homework. He'd just have to have Uncle Barry call in sick for him and email his assignments in at Mount Justice.
Pulling on an oversized hoodie allowed Wally to camouflage the bulky arm brace. He picked up the phone and dialed his uncle's number.
"Hi Aunt Iris, is Uncle Barry home?"
"Hi Wally, yes, he's here. Hold on just a moment." Iris replied. Wally could hear her speak to his uncle before Barry answered the phone.
"Hey Wally."
"Hi Uncle Barry. Listen, I need a favor."
"What kind of favor? The last time I did something for you I got glares from both Batman and Iris… I'm not sure which was worse."
"Haha, nothing too bad. I just, I got in late last night and didn't get all my school done. Could you call and tell them I won't be in today? I'll email all my stuff in at Mount Justice. PLEASE."
Barry sighed heavily over the phone. "Wally, if Kid Flash stuff is getting in the way of your education…."
"No no no, its not hero stuff, honest. Just, other stuff. Something came up this morning and I didn't want to get in trouble." Wally replied.
"What kind of stuff?"
"Stuff stuff."
"Uhuh, did you and your dad get into an argument again?"
Wally would hardly describe what happened this morning as an 'argument' but Uncle Barry was from his mom's side of the family. Rudolph had banned anyone related to mom since she died 6 years Barry didn't exactly know much about Wally's home life.
"Um, maybe. Look things have just been really complicated lately. Lots of tension."
"I'll make you a deal." Barry began, but Wally did not like where this was going. "I'll call the school if you tell your dad about being Kid Flash."
"No. Uncle Barry. Just, no."
"Fine, then you need to at least tell him you're spending time with me. All that tension is coming from him worrying and you lying."
Didn't seem all that worried this morning. Wally heaved a sigh knowing this was as good as he'd get. "Fine, call the school and I'll tell dad."
"Great, I'll call right now. Bye Wally."
"Bye Uncle Barry."
Robin had just entered Mount Justice when KF sped by.
"Hey dude, daddy bats make you go to school today?"
"Haha, yeah."
"Thought so, I had skipped today hopping that we'd get to play some video games."
Robin chuckled at his friend, always in it for a good time. "Maybe next time."
Superboy came into the room. "Black Canary is here, she said you two need to get your butts in gear and into the training arena."
"Aye aye captain. Come on Rob, last one there buys me dinner." KF joked before speeding off.
"I am sooo not paying to feed him." Dick muttered, "Bruce though…"
Black Canary had been training Superboy for most of the day, so she was giving him a break. And since Kaldur and Megan had already faced off, that left Robin vs. Kid Flash.
"All right boys, keep it clean." The buzzer went off and the fight was on.
Kid Flash was dodging Robin's fist and feet pretty easily, until Robin threw out a smoke bomb from his utility belt. KF couldn't see the attacks coming until they were right in front off him so he had to switch from dodging to blocking. He suddenly noticed a flying kick coming from behind and threw up is arm. His broken arm. Rob's foot connected, hard. Kid Flash let out a muffled cry and fell to his knees cradling his arm for the second time that day.
"TIME!" Robin called out. He rushed to his friend's side.
Megan turned on the vents and allowed the smoke to clear. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Wally grunted. "It's nothing. Everything's fine."
Dinah stepped forward. "Kid Flash?"
"I said I'm fine." Wally snapped. "Sorry. Sorry. I just need some air." And he blurred out of the room.
An hour later Robin stopped by KF's quarters. His knock on the door was met with a faint 'go away.' He opened the door anyway.
Wally opened his mouth to say something, but shut it at Robin's pointed look.
"You gonna tell me what's going on?"
"I already told you Rob, everything is fine."
"Uhuh. Then let me see your arm."
"Why? There's nothing wrong, see?" Wally offered his friend his good hand.
"I meant the other one." Robin knew Wally knew Robin meant that one in the first place.
Heaving a sigh Wally offered his friend the broken appendage. Robin, seeing the bulk under the costume, removed KF's glove and rolled up the sleeve.
"Jesus Wally." Dick gasped. He carefully tilted the arm back and forth in the light. Noting the awkward brace and hand shaped bruises.
"It wasn't you." Wally quickly amended after seeing the regret in his friend's face. "Was already like that before."
"What happened?" Robin released Wally's wrist and saw how the speedster pulled the arm against himself.
"Nothing, Just got clumsy and careless. Hey, wanna grab a bite to eat?" Kid Flash pulled is glove back on and headed out of the room.
Robin saw through the topic change. "After we hit the infirmary, yeah."
KF followed behind his friend. Unfortunately there was no arguing with Robin when he got like this. However, there was negotiating. "You can't tell anyone." Wally finally spoke up again once they reached the infirmary.
"Tell anyone what? That you broke your arm?"
"Yes. Dick, promise me you won't."
"Because… because I'll do your laundry for a month if you don't."
"Alfred." Robin responded. Not even batting an eye while dressing Wally's arm the proper way.
"Because I'm in a secret underground fight club and if you tell Uncle Barry will make me quit."
"Fight club huh. And they let in a 15 year old kid?"
"Hey, it could happen! Maybe…."
Robin just raised an eye brow. "Sure it could. Wanna try again?"
"I'll tell Batman you skipped school."
"He already knows."
Wally sighed, that had been his trump card. "Because I'm your friend and I'm asking you not to."
Robin looked up. "Fine, I won't tell. This time. But you coming in with black eyes and broken bones, none of which you got on missions? That's gotta stop. So whatever is going on, either get out of it or tell me what it is so I can help you get out of it."
Robin finished with Wally's arm "Not that easy Dick. Now how about that snack before Bats comes?"
Once he and Bruce had arrived back at the manor, Dick had already come to a conclusion. He hoped to god he was wrong, though he was almost 98% sure he wasn't. After Batman went out for the night, Robin quickly boarded the Bat-jet and headed in the direction of Central City.
Wally had gotten back to Central City early enough to stop by a friends house and get his assignments that he'd missed from school.
Getting home, Wally started dinner and had it on the table just in time for when his dad got off of work. "Dinner's on the table." He announced as Rudolph walked in.
"I can see that boy. Think I'm stupid?" There was already a slight slur to the older man's speech.
"No sir."
"Good, now get up to your room. I've had a hard day and want a lil' peace n' quiet."
Wally did not need to be told twice. He zipped upstairs and completed his homework for the weekend. Finishing in record time, he went to bed, completely oblivious to the small blinking light from a camera in the corner of his room.
The calm didn't last for long though. Sometime, late in the night, Wally's door burst open and slammed against the wall.
Immediately Wally sat up in bed ready to face whatever danger was in his house, unfortunately he realized there was little he could actually do because the danger was his father.
A very pissed off looking Rudolph stormed in and shoved a piece of paper in his face. "What the hell is this?"
Wally took the paper, and read it. Phone bill. With several calls made to Allen, Barry in Keystone City. "I…."
"You what? Went behind my back? Disobeyed me?" Rudolph threw Wally off his bed and onto the ground.
Wally threw his arms up to cover his face as he spoke, "I've been talking to Uncle Barry, sometimes hanging out with him and Aunt Iris. I was at there house last week for dinner. I'm sorry, I… I'm sorry."
"Oh I'm sure you will be." Rudolph sat on top of Wally and wrestled the boy's arms away from his face. Once he was able to secure his arms the elder began to deliver punches to Wally's face and torso. The beating continued long after Wally lost consciousness.
That next night Robin sat down at the computer down in the Batcave. He'd been able to go patrolling with Batman tonight before his mentor went up to the watchtower. Last night he had to 'stay home' because of the skipping school incident. So tonight, he wanted to check the benefits of his 'staying home'.
Dick pulled up the footage of Wally's house. Batman's paranoia and background information on all of the heroes had made finding the address easy; all he had to do was find the right file on the computer.
The screen was split in fours showing different rooms. Robin was watching the third video of the night, Wally's room. Wally going to bed so Dick began to fast forward the tape. It wasn't until he saw a man, another red head who looked so much like is friend that Robin assumed he was the father. Dick pressed the play button and watched the events play out on screen.
The seven founding members were seated in the meeting room when an in-coming call beeped. On the screen was a very distressed boy wonder. Batman quickly stood up, worried that something had happened in Gotham.
"You and Flash need to transport to the Batcave immediately." Robin said in a monotone voice.
"Unless the city is under attack this can wait until after the meeting." Superman interrupted.
"No. It can't." Robin shot back, surprising the man of steal with such an angry tone. "You need to get here. Now. Batman, it's important." After that Robin quickly cut the transmission.
Batman stepped away from the table and made his way towards the door, "Flash."
It wasn't so much a question as a demand.
"Right behind you." Barry answered. "I'm just as curious as you are."
Again Superman spoke up, "Surely this can wait, we need to-"
"Clearly it can't wait Clark. We'll discuss this later." And with that the both Flash and Batman were gone.
Twenty minutes later the two heroes reached the Batcave. Robin greeted them with a disc.
"You need to watch this. It's about Kid Flash." Robin said.
In the dim lighting of the cave Batman could barely see the tear marks on his young wards face. But even Barry heard the emptiness in the kid's voice. Like Robin had completely shut off his emotions since he clearly didn't have control of them.
"Okay…." Flash said a little apprehensively as he put the disk into the player.
"Is that Wally's room?" Batman asked.
Robin nodded.
"You bugged my nephew's room?" Flash was about to give everyone a great big lecture on privacy when he heard a slam and yelling from the monitor.
"talking to Uncle Barry…. last week for dinner. I'm sorry, I… I'm sorry."
"Oh I'm sure you will be."
Bruce and Barry watched in silence as Mr. West wrestled Wally to the ground and beat the kid senseless. Eventually they saw the man crawl off the boy and leave the room. Wally left on the floor unmoving and bloody.
No one said a word as the screen turned black. Everyone was silent. Anger and fear filled the room. A million thoughts went through Flash's head.
Robin kept his eyes trained on the ground as he explained. "KF came in with some bruises the other day; he didn't get them on the mission. And yesterday he had a broken arm, which is probably why he didn't fight back last night. I wasn't able to view the tape until now."
"Son of a bitch!" Flash yelled. "Wally said he and his dad had been arguing. That there was tension. Why the hell wouldn't the kid tell me this was going on? Oh my god, I'm the one that pushed Wally into telling his dad he'd been spending time with me, this is my fault."
"No," Batman interrupted, "West found out about he calls on the phone bill, Wally didn't bring it up until asked about it. And this clearly wasn't all about him spending time with you if Wally had been injured before last night."
"Wait," Flash said "This is last night? Has anyone seen Wally today?"
Robin again spoke up, "He called earlier and said he wouldn't be at Mount Justice. But that was all.
"So he stayed at home all day with that… that monster?" Barry exclaimed.
"Is that Wally's dad?" Robin asked. He sounded so young and child like.
Flash sighed and all but collapsed in the chair. "Yes, that's Rudolph. Wally's father."
"Why would he… do that?" Again, the child like tone caught Bruce off guard.
"Because he's an awful man. There is no reason why anyone would ever do that to a child." Bruce was furious, and he wasn't hiding it well.
"Especially to a kid like Wally. He's… he's bright and charming and smart and kind and funny and… and a good kid damn it. He's just a kid." Barry was loosing it.
Robin nerves where on edge, he wasn't handling this well. None of them were, but Wally's his friend and they were gonna help him. "This is getting us nowhere, we need a plan.
Wally finally pulled himself off the ground and onto the bed in the late morning hours. He hurt, everywhere. He vaguely noticed he couldn't feel his hand on his broken arm and that his shirt was covered in blood. He called and left a message saying he wouldn't be at Mount Justice today. He kept it short and brief, not really having the energy to do much else.
He was tired, so freakin tired. And hungry. Really hungry. If I can get some food I bet I'd heal up a lot faster and all this pain would go away. Maybe I can lay here and build up some energy and then make my way to the kitchen. Wally fell into a deep sleep moments later.
The sun was just setting when he awoke again, this time his stomach would not let him rest.
"Ugh I'm up, I'm up." Holding his side, Wally limped his way into the kitchen. Grabbing some food he sat at the table. He went slow, deciding he A) wanted to enjoy his dinner and B) didn't have the energy to eat it quickly. Half way through his meal there was a knock at the door.
"Go away!" Wally only half heartedly called.
Wally again held his side and limped his way too the door, "Dick?"
Opening the door, the red head found his Uncle Barry and Dick standing on his porch. "What are you guys-"
"Oh thank god." Barry burst in. dropping to his knees he hugged Wally and took the kids face in his hands. "Are you ok?"
"I'm fine." Wally answered. "Confused, but fine. What are you guys doing here?"
Both guests saw the dried blood on the young speedster's face and clothes, apparently getting cleaned up was not high on the to-do list. He still held his side and his cast looked cracked.
"We know Wally. We know everything." Dick answered.
"What? Know everything?" Now Wally was really confused.
"Your dad." Barry stated. He looked pissed, really pissed. Wally had never seen his uncle that scary before, it wasn't pretty.
"He's not here, he went out. What are you guys talking about, what do you know?"
"Where all those non-mission injuries came from. What happened to your arm. What happened last night." Dick said.
Wally's eye grew huge. "You….What? Damn it, I told you to leave it alone. That you didn't need to know. Dick you… Damn it! And you told Uncle Barry? God, you probably told Bruce too huh?"
"Of course I told them. Wally, how could I not?" Dick yelled back.
"How could you not tell me?" Barry interrupted "Jesus kid, I could've done something. Gotten you help, gotten you out of here."
Wally sighed and slumped against the wall, any energy he had was quickly draining. "It's not that bad."
"Bullshit." Dick called out.
A smirk appeared on Wally's face. "It's not. Just, lately things have been hard. It started right after mom passed. He kept the hits under clothes, not too many, not too hard. I healed quickly enough for it not to be an issue. But, I don't know. Things have just…progressed."
Barry sighed again. "Dick and I are going to pack some of your things, you're coming to stay with me."
"Uncle Barry, no. He need's someone to take care of him. He has fists made of ham and a brain to match. Besides, that'll be the first place he looks if I run and I can't do that to you and Iris."
"The man may be a meathead, but he can take care of himself. And I promise he won't come after you." Barry assured.
"Why? Cause I'm not worth coming after?" Wally shot back. He was exhausted and his nerves were shot.
"What?" Barry was completely taken off guard, how could the kid think that about himself? "No, Wally of course you're worth coming after. That's why we're here."
"Then how do you know he won't come for me?" Wally asked again.
This time it was Dick that spoke up, "There's a reason Batman isn't with us Wally. He knows everything too."
Rudolph stumbled in the front door to an empty house, trying to recall the night's events.
Stepping outside his favorite bar for a smoke.
A sudden attack from the shadows.
Punches…kicks… a broken arm…a threat.
"You will never touch that boy again. You will never see that boy again. Don't even think of Wally again. If I find out you do, you won't be breathing the next day." The shadow growled.
"You… you can't do that. He's my son. I'll do whatever I want with the brat!" Rudolph replied.
A sharp punch to the face assured the man that that wasn't the case. A tape with yesterday's date was set down in front of the man.
"You may want to watch that before you decide about going after him."
Rudolph had seen the tape. Knew the shadow was Batman and that if he wanted to live for a few more years, there was nothing he could do.

"My rugs display modern, abstracted patterns of their respective square and oval shapes, with varying pile heights for a richer more dynamic texture, they come in both silver and gold colour schemes." David Rockwell
This rug is entirely handmade, from the spinning of the yarns to the weaving on the loom. It is unique, and has been crafted by weavers in the Kathmandu area, whose skills have been passed down through many generations. We use only the finest natural yarns; the Tibetan wool is renowned for its softness and durability, while the fine silk brings a delicate lustre that enhances the design of the rug. To this we have added the vision of a world class designer, and the result is a hand knotted contemporary rug of extraordinary beauty which will itself become an heirloom to be treasured for years to come.

As some of you know, way back in 2007 when I re-enlisted I thought I would join a WMD detection team as some kind of chemical weapons detection specialist. It never worked out at the time, but when I got back from Iraq, I started getting weekly listings of full-time jobs available at Fort Indiantown Gap. One of those jobs was the job I was looking for four years ago.
I looked at that job every week and thought 'Do I really want to be full time?' It turns out that the team members have to be full time, which makes sense. I called the office last week and talked to a senior officer in the unit. He told me that the job involved a lot of travel, a lot of chemistry and was physically demanding. He asked how old I am. When I told him he said I could apply if I wanted to, but almost everyone else on the team was in their 20s.
I suppose I could apply anyway, but the unit gets to decide who they interview from the applicant pool. And when I joined, I was thinking I could do this kind of thing part time. Since that's not the case, I'll sty where I am.

TmaxSoft Partners with Aspera to Assess Oracle Estate Liabilities
Joint campaign to reduce operating costs and to eliminate the time and headache of a potential Oracle audit
London, UK, 18 October, 2016: TmaxSoft UK, a multinational technology innovator focused on infrastructure software, today announced a strategic partnership with Aspera, a leading pioneer in strategic Software Asset Management (SAM). Under the terms of the partnership agreement both vendors will join forces to offer a baseline assessment for enterprises using Oracle databases.
The assessment is run on a hosting solution from Aspera, which will take multiple sources of information (including script, sccm, etc.) and provide a complete licensing position for that enterprise's Oracle estate. The initiative is applicable to an Oracle Database compliance baseline only and not other Oracle products.
Carl Davies, managing director, TmaxSoft UK, stated: "Software licensing for Oracle customers has plagued businesses for many years. Using Oracle software means managers face the daunting task of squaring their company's software estate to avoid the threat of a software audit, and it's not uncommon for businesses to have thousands of Oracle's products embedded in layers of infrastructure. Through this joint initiative with one of the world's leading SAM vendors, we believe that we can help organisations shine a light on the costs associated – and very often hidden – with their existing Oracle licensing position."
Alexander Lodenkemper – Director of Sales International at Aspera, added: "Far too often we are seeing software publishers exploiting the ambiguity in their license models for commercial advantage, leaving end user customer dazed and confused. It is our goal to work with TmaxSoft to help CIOs and their IT teams vastly reduce operating costs and eliminate the time and headache of a potential Oracle audit."
Tibero is an enterprise database designed from its inception to facilitate efficient and flexible integration of data and business logic, as well as providing various database management utilities. It meets these needs perfectly by supporting the database infrastructure, the foundation for corporate businesses, providing both high performance and reliability. Tibero enables economical use of system resources to provide excellent performance.
Tibero has an innovative architecture that can integrate any existing database management system, without modifying existing applications, thus offering maximum efficiency. It was developed to meet the demand for massive data processing, and designed for large scale operating environments by providing more robust security, performance, scalability, as well as compatibility with other databases such as Oracle.
TmaxSoft itself was the world's first software vendor to attain verification from Campaign for Clear Licensing, the initiative which was established specifically to bring transparency to the licensing market.
"Introducing competition that is offering viable alternative software, which is not only compatible with Oracle databases but also competitively priced, will give customers the power of choice. This will cause a power shift; instead of having to accommodate to Oracle, customers will be able to make an informed decision about where to purchase their software, based on customer feedback, technological solutions, pricing and licensing structures," concluded Carl Davies.
About Aspera
As the industry leader for SAM solutions and services, Aspera transforms your software usage and license data into meaningful insights. Since 2000, our approach of Strategic License Manageemnt has ensured that companies get complete compliance while reducing their licesing costs to an absolute minimum.
