When Tamarac first engaged Blink, their financial advisor customers were enthusiastic about the Advisor system, but felt it was too difficult to learn—and some tasks took too long to complete. Blink helped Tamarac improve their system which dramatically reduced their training costs and the time required to get new customers fully operational on the system.
The Advisor system's learning curve had financial consequences for Tamarac. Support and training costs were high. The time required for up-front training meant that Tamarac couldn't roll out the product to new customers as quickly as they wanted, which in turn impacted revenue. Existing customers needed too much hand-holding, which resulted in high support costs.
Busy financial advisors use the Tamarac Advisor system to manage their clients' portfolios according to risk tolerance and financial objectives.
Based on discussions with Tamarac team, Blink recommended a user-centered design project with three main elements:
The total project duration was approximately 4 months.
Duration: 2 weeks
Blink began by conducting user research to understand how users were currently using the Advisor system, including what barriers they were encountering. Using web-conferencing software, we were able to conduct the research from Seattle, WA with Tamarac customers located nation-wide. Representatives from Tamarac observed all sessions, so they could see first-hand some of the challenges users were facing. Many of these issues had been reported through their customer service department, but actually observing issues in a real-life situation provided deeper insight.
"Observing the user research was an eye-opener. Though we had an idea about what people were doing with our system, we didn't necessarily understand the 'whys.' During the course of the user research, we saw customers were missing helpful features. By observing our customers perform real-world tasks the pain points became much clearer."
– Jim Peterson, COO, Tamarac
With findings from the user research, Blink recommended a design approach. These recommendations were discussed and refined with the Tamarac team. With the general direction set, we moved forward into design work.
Duration: 14 weeks
The redesign work was truly a team effort, combining Blink's background in user experience design with Tamarac's deep knowledge of financial portfolio management.
Our starting point was the findings from user research, which included narrative scenarios that described real-world task workflows. These workflows served as the roadmap for creating a new interface that would help users accomplish tasks more quickly and easily.
To communicate the new design, Blink prepared wireframes, grayscale schematics of the new interface.
"The wireframes brought the design ideas to life. Concepts we had talked about in the abstract were now easy for all to grasp and evaluate. The ability to explore design ideas quickly allowed us to more easily come to agreement on the right direction for us."
– Matt Springer, President/Founder, Tamarac
A key element was working in a collaborative and iterative manner with Tamarac's project team. This team included representatives from development, product management, and marketing. Design review meetings were held twice a week, during which time Blink captured feedback for subsequent wireframe revisions.
Between review meetings, more informal communication occurred via phone or email. The responsiveness of the Tamarac team as issues and questions arose helped Blink deliver design concepts more quickly.
"I couldn't have been more pleased with how engaged the Tamarac team was with the whole design process. I know the quality of the designs we were able to deliver was enhanced by their very active participation."
– Heidi Adkisson, Lead Designer, Blink
Duration: 2 weeks
The final phase of the project was testing the new design with current Tamarac customers. Working closely with the Tamarac team, we created a test plan and paper prototype of the system that would identify any areas where we could improve the new design. The testing was conducted in two locales with portable usability equipment: the Los Angeles area and Las Vegas (at a conference attended by financial planners). The testing was observed by members of the Tamarac product team.
"The feedback from testing was overwhelmingly positive in terms of the new task workflows. We learned, however, that some of the terms used could be clearer. With the user feedback we were able to catch those issues before launch."
– Matt Stroh, VP Marketing, Tamarac
As the project neared completion, Tamarac worked to finalize graphical design treatments for the interface that would reflect their branding. Blink worked with Tamarac during this process to ensure that the final look and feel was consistent with Blink's usability recommendations.
Tamarac implemented the new design in phases, focusing initially on several high-impact changes at the page-level. For the major roll-out, which included the streamlined tasks flows, Tamarac continued to support the existing system for a period of time so that its customers could make the transition to the new system at their own pace.
Improvements in Tamarac Advisor helped Tamarac dramatically reduce its training costs and the time required to get new customers fully operational on the system. Existing customers were significantly more satisfied—reporting how much easier it was to manage portfolios with the new system. Tamarac has an application that's not only the most robust in the financial industry, but now it is also the most intuitive and easy to use thanks to the efforts of Blink Interactive.
"We had customers saying they didn't need the help materials at all—that they could easily get their work done now without it. That was a big change from our previous design. We couldn't be happier with the outcome of the project"
– Stuart DePina, CEO, Tamarac

Number of ratings 5 / Average Grade: N/A Submit a correction
Not very interested in his students. When I corrected him for mispronouncing my last name, he huffed and rolled his eyes. Boring lectures.
12 quizzes (1/week) 3 Map assignments (make a map with content relating to class) 5 homework assignments (he explains how to do them in class) and 1 final (he puts of past finals online to study). If you do the work, show up for class, and read, you'll get an A. Not hard if your a responsible student. He gives extra credit which helps a lot!
Go to class, participate, and earn the extra credit. Pay attention and use the online lecture outlines: they help you determine what he finds important and will test you on.
Extemely interesting professor. Rather dry sense of humor. Lectures sometime drone on and others are very insightful. Note taking is rather difficult. Be sure to make use of the online outlines. The weekly quizzes are not too bad if you read the text book. I enjoyed the manner of grading for the course. Be sure to attend each and every lecture.

Hmm, I actually skipped Seal of Command entirely on my ret paladin. I find that using Judgment of the Crusader followed by Seal and Judgment of Righteousness, with Crusader Strike keeping the original judgement up, does far more damage, since it's every hit and not just a chance on hit. Of course, this was far more effective before they decided to remove all spell damage from ret paladin gear. *grumbles*

Susanne - posted on 04/28/2010
Hi Kitsten, You have gotten some very good advice. I have 8 children and they all help around the home. Ages 2-18 year. They are much happier when they know that they are doing something for everyones good. It wasn't always like that at our home and it will be very hard for you to change. I tell my children that in the Bible it says that if you don't work then neither shall you eat. If I tell then to clean up their room and it is not done by the next meal, then they have to go to their room and may not come out until their room is clean. Well not to preschoolers, but when they are 7 they are responsible for cleaning up their toys and straitening the blanket on the bed. And puting their laundry in the hamper. I also make it a point to not have more toys in their room than they can clean up. I have a 14year old and she is responsible for clearing off half the table and cleaning out or stacking the dishwasher. Her 18 yr old sister does the other half. My 16 year old son is and has been for 5 years responsible for sweeping the floors. And cleaning the bathrooms. My 8 & 11 yr old sons pick up all the toys and books in the dining & living room and vaccum the play room and stairs. My youngest 2 girls 7 & 8 yr help clean up toys and the porches and other things like helping the 2 year old clean up his toys. You might think that it is alot that my children do, but when you have a big family like I do, I would never have time to give them cuddles if I had to do everything. And also my 16yr old son has started working for others on Saturdays and they are very impressed with his work habits. The bosses don't want to hire kids that have never had to work at home. The children need to know that they are needed. If they have to help they will have a higher self worth. As the mother you have to make chores fun. I started with getting them to help me with a few things. I find that if I spend alot of time working with my children they are more open in their conversations and you can help them more with problems that they might be facing in school or with their friends.
I do not want my sons to be the kind of husbands that just throw everything on the floor for their wives to clean up and expect her to do everything for them. I want them to help their wives and not be lazy men who live on welfare and drain the system. And also I do not want my daughters to sit and watch TV all day and not take care of their children and are too lazy to cook healthy meals for the nurishment of their children.
Thinking in the long term helps me to be more consistant in training them to be useful human beings.
We also have days where the children get to pick what they want to have for supper and then they make it. With my help of course until they know how to make it. We do not look at it as a chore. They are very proud of their meal and I make sure that at supper time i tell everyone that this is a very special meal because so and so made it. And you should just see the smile of pride and accomplishment that the person has and can't wait until the next time that they get to cook for the family. I do not believe in haveing super prideful children, but they have to have some pride or they will have nothing to live for. Also don't be too fussy about how they make it. We have had some wacky meals. And when they taste what they have made, they learn with my help, what they might want to do next time to make it even better. But they are learning and becoming well rounded human beings.
Hope that helps.

Well, I say it depends on what they want help with. My 5 year old just learned to tie his shoes, so if he wants to go outside and play, he has to put them on and tie them by himself, other wise, he has to stay inside. My boys are responsible for cleaning their room, if it is not clean, then they don't get to play. Same for putting away clothes or what not. Each responsibility is just that, their responsibility, and if it doesn't get done, they don't get to do the fun things they want to do.

Emma, at 4 he SHOULD be dressing himself--you will have to help him with his color coordinations, of course ;) Put his clothes on his bed and tell him he has to be dressed before he can have breakfast, play outside, watch cartoons, etc. Starting early (info for next child coming along) to make them independent is vital.
1/2 hour before his scheduled bedtime tell him he needs to get his jammies on, brush his teeth, go potty, get a drink of water, whatever your routine is. Say his prayers then tell him good-night. Then walk out. If he gets up, don't say anything to him, just put him back in bed. You will probably have a couple rough nights, because he has learned if he makes a fuss, you'll get him up, or put him in your bed or whatever. This is the Supernanny method and it WILL work, if you are consistent. If you give in ONCE, you have lost.
Raising children is hair-raising, but it CAN be done ;)
God bless, honey

Hi I have a 4 year old boy, who always wants my help with every thing he starts school soon and he wont feed his self and dress he always wants his mummy help bed times are hard too would love some advise ?
Nancy - posted on 04/30/2010
This is an easy one for me because I was born INDEPENDENT! I think my first words may have been, "I do it myself!" Although I can't really remember my first words, I do remember my four children's first words. Among their first words were, "I do it myself!"
It was natural for me to LET them do what they were able to do for themselves. There is an age and stage in their development when children WANT to do things. Since I reasoned with myself the day they were born that I would ALLOW them to do what they were able to do, then I just waited until they showed an interest in doing it and stepped back so they could. I was nearby in case they needed help, but most times they just got better at their task by repeatedly doing it.
By the time they were teenagers, everyone of them were washing their own clothes, not because I asked them to do so, but because they liked their way of doing it better than mine!
I don't recall ever asking them to do the dishes because that was my "quiet" time. No one came near me while I was doing the dishes.
I didn't give my children regular chores to do because I chose not to take on the added responsibility of the enforcement of them. However, my grown children do give their children chores to do, and I can see that it is good training for my grandchildren.

STOP! you are not being a strong christian mother by allowing you children to do nothing. they will grow as afults expecting you to do everything. they will have no concept of responsibility. You may be starting late but now is the time to train them to be responsible, God fearing young adults. start with NO! give them each a small chore around the house like have your oldets cset and clear the table . have yiur other one sweep the kitchen floor after meals. you may need to supervise at first but eorks if they dont do it or put up a fuss stsrting priveleges away for the rest of the day. cell phones game boys etc...

I downloaded a book called the good child guide, it is very helpful and full of good practical advice. it for children up to 12 years old and shows how to motivate them. I am a mum eight children aged 2 - 11. Hope this helps.
Stina - posted on 04/29/2010
If my kids can do it for themselves, I don't do it for them. Of course my kids are young- 5, 3 and a baby. If they ask politely for milk, I'll pour it for them- especially if I'm already up, but my 5 yo is able to pour his own milk, so I encourage him to whenever the opportunity arises. I also expect my 5 and 3 yo to put their clothes in the hamper, pick up their toys and clear their own dishes from the table.
You'll get a lot of resistance from your kids since they are older, but decide now that you are going to expect them to be responsible and follow through with them consistently. They'll thank you later.
Sit down with both kids, talk to them about what you expect from them- post some chores on the refrigerator and define some rewards and consequences. Above all, stand your ground. They will put up a fight when the old way is replaced with a new way that involves them doing more, but it'll be worth it.

Hi Kirsten, building a foundation early is very important. If you spent the earlier years dotting after your children and doing things for them, then you should expect them to be lazy. I love my daughter but I have to make her responsible to herself. My daughter will be two years old in about two weeks; still, I teach her to do stuffs by herself and now she loves it. She knows where everything is located; I ask her to get stuffs for me or to give to her dad which she loves. And now, she enjoys getting involved in all that I do. She's not doing any house chores but she's learning these things. So for your kids, you will have to stop doing some stuffs for them. If they choose to ignore it, fine; I don't see them ignoring that for too long if they really need those things. So rather than smothering your kids, it is time you took charge and let them be independent. You got to decide to do this for them. Well, I am African and in Africa, we do not send our parents on errands so the environment is much different. Still, if it bothers you, then put your foot down.
Anne - posted on 04/26/2010
Hi Kirsten, because you have been doing everything for your children it will take time for them to realize that you are no longer giving them a free ride. Please so not think I am judging you. I did expect our daughters to help around the house, and there were still times when our daughters had to learn the hard way that if their clothes were not in their hamper on laundry day, they may end up either doing their own laundry or not have clean clothes.
You may want to start with a chore list for each child. Make sure you give them consequences for not completing their chores. You may also need to make a rule for yourself--- If they do not do the work you are not allowed to to it for them, unless they were too ill to stand. LOL
Stephanie - posted on 04/26/2010
well, my oldest are 7, so they're not quite your kids ages, but. when my gals ask me for something, I tell them. you know where it is and how to do it. go get it yourself. :) that's why God gave you hands, or legs, or whatever. :)
for cleaning stuff, I tell them. You're a part of this family. You made the mess. You get to clean it up.
I don't argue. I won't do it for them. If they really want it, they'll do it.

Let's not forget that you have a chance to win a $25 Gift Certificate which is hidden in a copy of Peter Eggink's Pocket Bizarre. Just place an order for this cool new utility gimmick and you might get a little surprise from your old pal Chris.
Also, here's a link to my Vine Account in case you wanted to check that out.
We got a question from Twitter user @royalfrenchness asking for tricks that would work well in a classroom setting. As promised in the recap, here is a short list of options:
A super-easy solid through solid routine where a common house key gets linked to a rubber band or borrowed necklace.
Cobra Kiss
In this dangerous-looking routine, you manage to divine which stapler is loaded with real staples.
Self Bending Paperclip
Pick up a paperclip and cause it to bend and contort. You have full control over how it bends.
Thanks for watching the Weekly Recap and don't forget, this show depends on your questions, so leave them in the comments section below and see if they make it into the next episode of the Weekly Recap.

Glad your car is running fine, but why not just let it go. A simple mistake was made, you have noted it with the dealership(Although it seems if you were that OCD about it, you would want to know what the code was) no reason to try and "get some freebies" over it. Not to mention, if engine damage did occur, however unlikely, Dodge could come back and say, "Hey, we gave him some floormats for his trouble, and he signed this paperwork releasing us from any future claims regarding engine trouble".
was the fact that I probably ran the tank too low and allowed some of the things that settle in the bottom of the tank to make their way into the engine. Unless, of course, that is a myth.
Glad it's running fine now. I think the sediment in the bottom of the tank is somewhat of a myth. First off, aren't the fuel pickups close to the bottom of the tank? otherwise when we get down to an 1/8th of a tank or so, it would be suckin air. So, isn't it always drawing from the bottom.
In a brand new car, Im gonna go out on a limb and say there's probably no sediment in the tank. Over time, I guess there probably will be, but first tank..Im betting not.
Yes your car will throw a CEL light with regular gas. It's happened to me twice...

On 7 August 1882, while the Savoy Theatre was again drawing crowds to its seasonal opening with the novelty of electric lighting, the Adelphi commemorated the bank holiday with a revival of Drink, adapted by Charles Reade from Emile Zola's French version and first produced at the Princess's Theatre in 1879. Reade directed, and Charles Warner, Fanny Leslie and Amy Roselle re-enacted their roles from the Princess's production. The revival received no special notice in the press, but Charles Warner's highly regarded performance as Coupeau guaranteed a box-office success and warranted royal visits from the Prince and Princess of Wales on 14 September (Times, 15 September 1882) and the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh on 21 October (Times, 23 October 1882). Drink was preceded on the bill by Families Supplied, an original farce by Ernest Cuthbert.
On 30 September, The Adelphi offered audiences a "first-time-ever" matinee performance of "a realistic adaptation of Ouida's novel" Chandos or The Jester Who Turned Traitor by Hartbury Brooklyn (prog). The Athenaeum called the adaptation "extreme in length and disconnected in story," and bemoaned the actors' lack of preparation (7 October 1882, p. 474). The Times celebrated the "comic effect" achieved by an adaptor striving for "high-flown sentiment," claiming that at first, the audience was "mystified," but "as the utterly incomprehensible character of the play dawned upon it, it entered into the humour of the thing, and the two last acts were received with laughter" (3 October 1882, p. 4b). "Especially engaged for the race scene" was Chirgwin, the White-Eyed Kaffir, a popular burnt-cork comedian and musician (Times, 30 September 1882). Chandos was preceded on the bill by the "first London performance" of Mariette's Wedding, an operetta composed by Haydyn Millars and co-authored by Millars and W. E. Morton.
On 17 November, the Adelphi invited the officers and men of the Indian Contingent and those of the Household Cavalry who had served in the Egyptian campaign to a special commemorative performance of Drink. Following the performance, Charles Warner recited a new poem to "mark the occasion"--Clement Scott's "The Midnight Charge" (Times, 13 November 1882). This also marked the final performance of Drink.
From 18 November through 8 March 1883, Charles Reade and Henry Pettitt leased the Adelphi and put together what the Times called a "scratch" company to perform their new melodrama Love and Money. Harry Jackson, of Augustus Harris's company, was brought in to "superintend" the production. Entr'acte music by E. Ellis was performed by cornetist Henry Sprake. Despite a complaint about "comic situations that interrupt the action," the Athenaeum found Love and Money worthy of "the highest praise" because "few dramatists know better than Mr. Reade how to touch the heart" (25 November 1882, p. 707). The Times praised the piece for exhibiting a return to the "fountain of old-fashioned sentiment" instead of "the sordid realism of The Romany Rye and other plays containing such a gutter element." The Times also praised spectacular scenes of a mine explosion during which the heroine and her father were buried alive and then threatened by an underground flood: "Water--real water--pours in ... and a clever device ... represents it as slowly rising to overwhelm the survivors" (10 November, p. 10a).
After the first week, during which Love and Money was alone on the bill, Reade and Pettitt experimented with a variety of companion pieces. On 25 November, Fogged, a "laughable farce," was added as an afterpiece. It starred John Morris who made "seven marvelous changes" for the seven roles that he played--some of them female (Times, 25 November 1882). Fogged lasted through 15 December, when Reade replaced it with his own "rustic drama" entitled Rachael the Reaper. On 22 January, a revival of Reade's three-act adaptation of Tennyson's Dora replaced the two-act Rachael. Dora had failed at the Adelphi in the 1867 season, but Reade had blamed the scene painter and this time set about planning a production that would prove the quality of this work--with new scenery, new music, and Charles Warner to play the lead. The Times, while noting improvements in the revival's scenery, cited the piece's "inherent weakness and want of story" (23 January, 1882, p. 5f). The Athenaeum saw improvement in the production quality, but noted the wearisome length of the evening and likened the play to "a merchant craft which has, to meet some emergency, been turned into a man-of-war." (27 January 1883, p. 130). Alerted to the danger of using Dora as a 9:00 afterpiece, on 29 January, Reade placed it before Love and Money on the bill where it remained until the end of the run (8 March); but given every chance, Dora sank.
Besides offering a variety of companion pieces during the run of Love and Money, the Adelphi hosted Samuel Hayes' tenth annual matinee on 21 February. The Love Chase was presented, followed by a "miscellaneous concert" (Times, 21 February 1883). The Adelphi was again honored by two royal visits: The Duchess of Edinburgh and Prince Louis of Battenburg on 21 November (Times, 22 November 1882, p. 5d); and the Prince and Princess of Wales on 12 January (Times, 13 January 1883, p. 9f).
In the new year, the theatre's name was changed to Royal Adelphi Theatre, a name it had borne earlier in the decade. Two months later, the management received a legal summons that had been initiated by the Metropolitan Board of Works. The Gattis were ordered to "remedy defects in the theatre ... to prevent danger to the public ... from fire." While the Gattis claimed that only a "few structural alterations" were needed, the Board insisted that there were eight "requirements" (Times, 3 February).
The theatre was dark from 9 March through 13 March as preparations were being made for the Gatti's production of Storm-Beaten, a drama in a prologue and five acts adapted by Robert Buchanan from his popular novel God and the Man. Storm-Beaten was a sensational melodrama in the Adelphi tradition with a shipboard fire, passengers shipwrecked in the Arctic, and the break-up of ice floes upon which passengers had taken refuge. William Beverley was responsible for sensational settings and effects enjoyed by audiences and praised by critics. Critics also commended Charles Warner, who directed and starred as Christian Christianson. But those same critics were disappointed in Buchanan's adaptation: "From the drawbacks which attend most stories converted into dramas 'Storm-Beaten' is not free," said The Atheneaum (24 March 1883, p. 387). Buchanan had given his story a happy ending because the traditions of Adelphi melodrama demanded it, but the ending did not seem believable. Both the Times and the Theatre agreed with the Atheneaum. Among the cast members on opening night, playing Jabez Greene, a shepherd, was H. Beerbohm Tree. This was the year before he gained recognition in the farce The Private Secretary at the Globe. Brother Bill and Me, a farce, accompanied Storm-Beaten on the bill through 28 April, when it was replaced by Betsy Baker, or Too Attentive by Half, also a farce. Storm-Beaten received one royal visit; on 20 March, the Duchess of Edinburgh and her suite attended (Times, 21 March 1883, p. 10a).
During the run of Storm-Beaten, there were two matinee performances. On 16 March, Mark J. Quinton made his debut in the title role of the first four acts of Richelieu and as Romeo in the balcony scene from Romeo and Juliet. The Athenaeum was lukewarm: "To natural advantages Mr. Quinton adds a certain amount of training. He is, however, far too restless in manner" (24 March 1883, p. 388). On 14 May (Whitmonday), there was a matinee performance of Storm-Beaten due to "special desire" (Times, 14 May 1883, p. 8).
On 9 June, the summer season began under the management of Edgar Bruce with a disastrous production of Rank and Riches by Wilkie Collins. The Theatre called the play "predestined for failure," and claimed that it "was deservedly and properly laughed at" (2 July 1883, p. 47). The Athenaeum concurred: "we must assert that an idea more perversely absurd seldom came into human brain" (16 June 1883, p. 774). The author's idea did not constitute the only absurdity, for on opening night:
Mr. Anson, the stage manager, lost temper, and ... in his eccentric garb as the bird-doctor, made an angry appeal to the house to cease its ... hostility to the work of a "great master." Cries from the pit of "Bosh," "Nonsense," "Get on with the play," etc., testified to the spirit in which this ill-considered interruption was received.... The fate of the play was sealed (Times, 11 June 1883, p. 12a).
Betsy Baker, a one-act farce, preceded the drama on the bill. Rank and Riches received more laughter.
Collins's new drama was replaced on 16 June by a hastily thrown together version of Camille, advertised "for a few nights only" (Times, 15 June 1883). After having endured audience derision in Rank and Riches for a week, Miss Lingard much preferred dying of consumption in Camille. Betsy Baker was retained on the bill on 16 and 18 June, and appeared in the Times for 19 June; but according to the program for 19 June, Camille was preceded by a production of Ben Webster, Jr.'s The Laughing Hyena.
The Laughing Hyena remained on the bill until the end of the season; Camille, like Rank and Riches, lasted only one week. On 25 June, it was replaced by a revival of Pluck: A Story of 50,000 Pounds, written by Henry Pettitt and Augustus Harris and produced by Harris at Drury Lane the previous August. Kate Pattison starred in her first London appearance following her American tour with Mrs. Langtry. The Athenaeum called Pluck "sensational and slightly preposterous" (30 June 1883, p. 838). The Times termed the transference of Pluck from Drury Lane to the Adelphi "the last indignity inflicted upon ... Collins's unfortunate play," because Pluck was not a play, but rather:
a succession of tableaux ... a railway collision, the breaking of a bank in the City, a snowstorm in Piccadilly, and the destruction by fire of a dilapidated tenement in the Seven Dials--incidents which the authors make no pretence of stringing together by a dramatic idea (27 June 1883, p. 10c).
Like the two preceding productions, Pluck did not last long; after twelve performances, it closed on 7 July; and so the season ended with a whimper.
The theatre was dark from 7 July through 25 July, except
for 21 July when a matinee was held to benefit the Royal
College of Music. The program included a "grand concert"
and a "new three-act play"--Retaliation, a comedy by
Rudolf Dircks (Times 17 July 1883). Special features
were performances by Lord Lonsdale's Private Band and Madame
Antoinette Sterling who sang "Sunshine and Rain" and "Caller
Herrin" (Times, 20 July 1883).

The Cincinnati Bengals got a tremendous boost this week as All-Pro receiver A.J. Green returned to the practice field for the first time since suffering a bone bruise on his knee two weeks ago. Green was healthy enough to practice right after the injury happened, but given the rash of injuries that have plagued NFL teams this year, it was a wise move by the Bengals to hold him out a few weeks just to ensure he's on the field for Week 1 vs. the Chicago Bears.
Green said today that though he's healthy, it's unlikely he'll be seeing any game-action this weekend vs. the Tennessee Titans:
A.J. Green returned to full action today at #Bengals. But when asked if he expects to play Saturday, he said "Probably not."
— Jay Morrison (@JayMorrisonCMG) August 15, 2013
Asked if he thinks we'll see A.J. Green on Saturday, Jay Gruden said "Hopefully on the sidelines signing autographs." #Bengals
— Jay Morrison (@JayMorrisonCMG) August 15, 2013
The Bengals expect Green to make his preseason game-action debut in next week's game vs. the Dallas Cowboys. That's the third preseason game, which is typically treated as the dress rehearsal for the regular-season opener.

text: We told you a couple months ago that a white PS3 Slim was coming to Japan, and griped about the lack of a US release. Well, that might actually change, as an Amazon listing for a 'Classic White' DualShock 3 has emerged on Amazon with an October 15th release date. 'Classic White' is the same paint job as the limited edition console, and the fact that the controller is heading overseas might just mean the console is, too. Cross your fingers.

FCC study: Cross-ownership may increase some local news
Broadcasting & Cable | FCC
New studies commissioned by the Federal Communications Commission suggest media consolidation has not harmed local news; in some cases, cross-ownership may help. The studies are part of the FCC's mandate to review media ownership rules. There will be a total of 10 studies, seven of which have now been released. One of the newest studies finds:
"Individual television stations that are cross-owned with newspapers air more local news than comparable stations in the market. However, the television markets that contain these cross-ownership relationships do not air any more (or perhaps air even less) local news programming than comparable markets (presumably due to a reduction in news from the non-cross-owned stations)."

The Washington Redskins have managed to adhere to the salary cap restrictions imposed on them previous year by NFL, though the $36 million penalty has limited the team capability at certain levels. The Redskins managed to win the NFC East title last season and it appears the roster is solid and holding against the cuts in salaries.
The penalty was levied last year when investigations by NFL revealed that the team had no official salary cap for the year 2010 and was signing players in defiance to it. Even though the Redskins were found not guilty legally, such tactics are relied on by teams to outclass others by signing players with huge salaries and so the fine was implemented. The Redskins admitted no wrongdoing and challenged the verdict but their cases were waived off.
This salary cap reduction has forced the team to restructure contracts of Barry Cofield, Adam Carriker and Stephen Bowen to fit the signings under the budget. Cofield saved the cap $2.4 million, Bowen saved $ 1.02 million and Carriker saved approximately the team $300,000. Carriker remains on the PUP list due to last season injury resulting in torn quadriceps and has had a third surgery to repair them.
Redskins General Manager Bruce Allen reported that it became necessary to redraft the contracts of some players so that they would adhere to the salary cap. He also commented that the salary cap would not only affect the performance for the fine duration but a few years after as well. "It's just not those two years because the repercussions of it down the road" Allen said.
The redrafting done on the contracts of defensive linemen will ensure that the salary cap is not breached for the time being. Total contract redrafting was not implemented offseason. The players were persuaded into accepting pay cuts or by adding additional perks in place of salary slashed, although this can lead into problematic situations in the future.

In this week's episode, Martha and Grant discuss not-to-be-believed articles about language from the satirical newspaper The Onion, including one headlined "Underfunded Schools Forced to Cut Past Tense from Language Programs."
By the way, did you ever notice how "ONION" is ZO-ZO if you tilt your head to the right?
This episode first aired January 12th and 13th, 2008.
Listen here:

A caller has a friendly disagreement with a pal: Is the expression "tide me over" or "tie me over"? Hint: The answer she gets should tide her over.
If a dictator dictates, and an aviator aviates, then does a commentator "commentate"? A caller complains that this last word gives him the willies. Does an alligator alligate?
A middle-schooler who's reading Anne of Green Gables is puzzled by a mention of "breakfast, dinner, and supper." She wants to know if the words "dinner" and "lunch" really interchangeable.
The fur flies when Greg Pliska unleashes a word puzzle involving the names of animals.
Also speaking of animals, an immigrant from India recounts his confusion the first time he heard the expression "I'm going to go see a man about a horse." How in did that become a euphemism for "I'm going to go to the bathroom"?
A former West Virginian reports that she grew up hearing a strange word: "charny." In her part of the country, she says, it means "dirty" or "filthy," and she always heard it pronounced "chee-YAR-nee."
This week's Slang This! contestant, a comic-book illustrator from Providence, R.I., tries to guess the meaning of the expressions "hat-catcher" and "to go shucks."
What IS the longest word in the English language? "Antidisestablishmentarianism"? "Floccinaucinihilipilification"? Or "pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis," maybe? Martha and Grant discuss such sesquipedalian contenders for the title of Longest English Word. Here's that list of long words that Martha mentioned, from AskOxford.com.
Where do you put those exclamation points and question marks—do they go inside or outside the quotation marks? Can you say, "We have the answer!"?
Confused about whether "biweekly" means "twice a week" or "twice a month"? Martha rants about why the using the words "biweekly" and "bimonthly" at all is a bad idea, period.
Grant shares listener email about the origin and meaning of the term "g-job."

John C. Goodman: What's the Alternative to Obamacare?
Recorded: Tuesday, July 1, 2014
Independent Institute Senior Fellow John C. Goodman, author of "Priceless: Curing the Healthcare Crisis" describes how the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, with its 27,000 pages of rules and regulations, has omitted some basic market-based concepts that would benefit all consumers. Goodman outlines the changes that would make such a healthcare system function, utilizing his extensive knowledge of the subject. Goodman is known as the "Father of Health Savings Accounts" whose suggestions for healthcare reform have been heard around the country. In this video, he highlights what is wrong with Obamacare, and offers his bold ideas on sensible healthcare reform.

Of the many human intricacies deftly tackled by Louie, the subject of conquest was set aside and earmarked for "Late Show, Pt. 3". On paper, CK failed his quest: the show went neither to him nor Seinfeld—Louie, and presumably Jerry, had something shiny dangled in front of them by a manipulative network exec in order to lower the pricetag on re-signing David Letterman (by a cool 20 million). Worse yet, CK's attempt now precludes him from ever being a guest on the Late Show. However, as a smiling Louie shouts up at the marquee on the Ed Sullivan Theater, "I did it! Hey Letterman, F*$k you!" and walks away towards the all-enveloping lightshow of Times Square, we know that he has won. Louie has succeeded in a conquest of self: the Late Show gig was his golden fleece, but the real prize was a reminder of his ability to beat back discomfort and the fear of failure. And to assuage our suspicions that this victory will only be a temporary peak among the interminable valleys of Louie's self-image, "Late Show, Pt. 3" closes with a sequence of Louie still in the boxing ring. "Jab, uppercut," his trailer demands over heroic trumpets, and Louie fulfills those demands, not yet a champion, but with the passion of a true contender.
"Late Show, Pt. 3" wears all this on its surface, with a very un-Louie lack of subtlety or artifice. We know that Louie gets to a place of comfort by the episode's end; the subtlety lies in what he lets go of to get there.
In my own limited experience with standup comedy hitting some of New York City's less reputable open mics, there's a curious thing that happens when expectation and reality misalign. Hinged on a few flimsy but hopeful convictions—"I think I'm funny, I think people will like this"—when a bit falls flat, many amateur comics fall into a very public fight or flight response, lashing out (at themselves or the audience of six to eight people nice enough to stick around). The weaker a comic's ego, the uglier the meltdown, and the more prolonged the silence becomes.
I've done it. I've seen plenty of other people do it. It's one of the most uncomfortable things you can watch another human being do. It's a reaction couched in the fear of failing too early and observing your dreams become stillborn. It's a resistance to the fact that a group of strangers doesn't owe you a damn thing.
The first half of "Late Show, Pt. 3" shows Louie exhibiting the tell-tale signs of this misplaced indignation. "If you wanna get a big thing in life, you gotta make a big effort, you gotta try hard, you gotta do things you're not used to doing," CK explains to his daughters. He's trying to teach them a simplified life lesson about determination, but it's one he seems to believe. In actuality, what he needs to do is show he's capable—the movers and shakers could care less about how much labor he puts in as long as he has the skills they need. Even though he's been headlining packed houses full of true blue fans for over a decade, Louie is back down to open mic 101 without knowing it. He needs to impress some very powerful and very discerning strangers with his qualifications in a very small frame of time.
The meeting in Jack Dahl's office drives this thesis home when it's revealed that Mr. Dahl had no idea Louie was a comedian. Louie's understandable incredulity (at being mistaken for a newsman) is countered by Dahl's gambit: "Make me laugh. Go! Funny. 3. 2. 1. Funny!" Louie resists, afraid his material might not translate off-stage, or that the lunatic producer who made him read Nixon jokes might not "get" his more modern sensibilities. In reality, Dahl doesn't want to laugh—he wants to see that Louie is capable of flipping the switch between person and persona at will. The meeting is essentially a four-minute mic, with Dahl urging a non-responsive Louie to perform, and flipping the red light to signal the last 30 seconds on-stage with the words, "Last chance and then we're really done. Done and done…Make me laugh on the count of 3. 1, 2—".
Dahl never gets to 3. Amateur syndrome kicks in: Louie turn towards Dahl, pointing an accusatory finger and says, "You know what your problem is—," angry that this crazy old man doesn't treat him like the successful comic he is, angry at having to live up to the a performer's essential role of "Entertain me, now," angry that the incongruousness of the way he though things were and the reality of the situation.
He stops himself from launching into a tirade against his audience of one. In that moment of peak stress, Louie receives his quiet epiphany and quickly transitions to a high, sing-songy voice, dancing buffoonishly, blowing raspberries between the words "pencil," "penis," and "parade," lifting his shirt to reveal the weight he hasn't lost. He earns another week in Dahl's good graces, and later on manages to kill in front of the test audience.
Although nearly every episode of the series offers up some challenge to make Louie feel inadequate—usually by highlighting his ineptitude with women—he's able to absorb these blows with the polished armor of self-loathing, each failure helping to prove and reprove his helplessness to himself. But comedy remains his unassailably redeeming quality, the bastion he clings to for survival. Throughout the "Late Show" arc, that bastion falls under siege, and Louie comes out stronger by being forced to protect it. It's no accident Dahl makes Louie practice without an audience, or that he doesn't laugh after the pencil penis routine: that horrible silence is what weeds the amateurs from the professionals. Louie is no longer seeking approval from strangers—or angry when he doesn't receive it—he's confidant that he can "show the funny" when he needs to, and that confidence becomes infectious in front of an audience. Fulfilling and subverting the daringness but puerility of the motorcycle he buys in the first episode of this season, Louie has mentally conquered his fears (a few of them, at least) and graduated to a higher plane of emotional adulthood.
However, this sudden and drastic path towards self-improvement will undoubtedly cause tension in his existing relationships with friends and fellow comics who will be made uncomfortable by having to reassess who their Louie has become.

Japan has some of its industry curtailed, like auto and steel — but that's not going to last too long. People are starting to realize that there [sic] economy is not going to be shut down for long — and they're going to have to start to look for alternative fuel sources.INFA Energy Brokers CEO Brad Schaeffer • Suggesting that Japan will have to switch its energy sources to an alternative source. But Schaeffer means "alternative" in the way one might call a band like Nickelback "alternative" — see, he thinks that Japan should move to oil. "Remember, they need to get their nation back on their feet," he says. "They aren't worrying about their carbon footprint so much. They're thinking we need to get oil here now – so we can get our generators up and running." While there's some grain of truth here, we wonder how much of what he's saying is wishful thinking, seeing that he's the CEO of an energy-brokering company. Quotes like these? They seriously make us cringe. source (via • follow)

» It's no longer at its peak, and that's a good thing: The International Atomic Energy Agency says that the decrease happened over a six-hour period. And the IAEA makes a good point that you should keep in mind. "This is a high dose-level value, but it is a local value at a single location and at a certain point in time," they say. In other words, even if you're within the 20-mile radius where radiation is likely to hit, the level will most assuredly be far lower than these peak levels. It's still high, though – one milli-sievert per hour is equal to the yearly legal limit of radiation you're supposed to get. (see our earlier posts about this topic here and here)

The International Atomic Energy Agency said it was told by Japanese authorities that a fire at a spent fuel storage pond is releasing radioactive material from the Fukushima 1 nuclear power plant.
The IAEA said Tuesday afternoon it was told by Japanese authorities that dose rates of up to 400 milliSievert were being released into the atmosphere per hour at the site where the walls of three nuclear reactors exploded and a fourth reactor caught fire.
Japanese authorities told reporters at a press conference Tuesday that the fire at the number four reactor had been extinguished.

"I have lived in halls for three years and that's because it is such an eye-opening experience. You are mixed with people from many countries, allowing you to learn from them and them from you. These people quickly become your family; you support each other through assignments and visit all sorts of social events together."
Joe Houghton – Psychology student
Information for Prospective Students
Living in Halls of Residence
For many students, living in Halls of Residence is an essential part of the university experience. It often marks students' first experience of independence and allows for the development of lifelong friendships.
Newman has 200 single study bedrooms in Halls on-campus. Rooms are fully furnished with a bed, bedside table, fixed wardrobe and cupboards plus accessories such as a desk and chair. The standard bedrooms are single study rooms with hand basin and shared bathroom facilities. The en-suite rooms are single study bedrooms with hand basin and a private bathroom. Students are required to bring their own bedding and any kitchen utensils they require or they are able to purchase a bedding pack at £25.00 each from the Housekeeping Department, with £15.00 being refunded when the bedding pack is returned in good condition.
First year students are given priority where possible in the allocation of rooms although a room cannot be guaranteed to all later applicants. Accommodation in halls of residence is guaranteed for all international and exchange students. PGCE students are allocated together in a quieter block where possible. We try to balance the number of students from all years who live in and students are encouraged to apply even if they live locally, in order to fully appreciate the complete student experience.
During the first couple of weeks, second and third year students act as Guardian Angels to help first year, exchange and PGCE students settle in. Living in Newman's Halls on campus gives you the opportunity to have freedom within a secure environment with the support of the Hall Tutors, who are available to offer help out of office hours if required.
Halls are a great way to meet people from different courses, make new friends and really experience the community spirit on campus.
Halls fees are considered excellent value for money, the charges for 2014/15 being £3,222 for first year and exchange students per academic year for a standard room (£3406 for Initial Teacher Education students), £3,723 for PGCE Secondary students and £3,808 for PGCE Primary students. These rates include all heating and electricity costs and block possessions insurance cover. A limited amount of en-suite accommodation is available, with the rate for 2014/15 being £4,286 for first year and exchange students (£4,530 for Initial Teacher Education students), £4,910 for PGCE Secondary students and £5,022 for PGCE Primary students. Exchange students are able to stay in accommodation for the whole academic year or either semester 1 or 2 depending on their course.
The wireless network in Halls allows you to surf the net or access course materials through the intranet from the comfort of your room via your laptop. There is currently no charge for installation of hardware to enable your machine to be compatible with the wireless network and no monthly fee/charge per minute is made for internet usage.
Newman's Halls of Residence are self-catered and there are shared kitchens in Halls of Residence which include a fridge, freezer, cooker, microwave, toaster, kettle, lockable cupboard space and seating area.
You can prepare meals and snacks in the communal kitchens or visit the on-campus food court, the Sanctuary (open Monday to Friday), which provides a range of reasonably priced meals, sandwiches and refreshments. There is also the Atrium Cafe which serves Starbucks coffee (open 8am - 8pm, Monday to Friday) plus a variety of vending machines on campus offering snacks and hot and cold beverages. The launderette in Halls is available 24 hours a day.
The Student Accommodation Code
Newman University has affirmed membership to the Code of Practice for the Management of Student Housing. The Code is concerned with the main principles and
essential requirements for well managed student accommodation. You can download
a full copy of the Universities UK Code of Practice.
Halls Insurance
Newman works with Endsleigh Insurance to arrange standard room insurance for inside your room. Your room is covered, but your laptop and other gadgets aren't covered outside your room.
To check what is covered, just download your insurance certificate. To arrange cover for your laptop, gadgets and other valuable items and to benefit from Endsleigh's 24-hour laptop and mobile phone replacement promise once your claim is approved, visit: endsleigh.co.uk/reviewcover or call 0800 389 1920/01282 672 108. You may also want to check whether your possessions would be covered through any existing insurance your family holds or seek quotes from other insurance providers.
TV Licence
TV licensing wish to advise students that they must be covered by a TV licence to watch live TV on your laptop or any other device. You may not be aware that the refund process may mean that you are eligible for a refund as most students only require a licence for 9 months a year (October-June) rather than for the full year. A student who buys a licence in October will therefore be able to apply for a refund in the following June, assuming they will not be returning to the address between July and September. For more details visit www.tvlicensing.co.uk.

If I might add my 2 Coppers for 2 additional good places,
1: Redridge Keep
The Redridge Keep in the Redridge mountains is a good place for Villain Rp. Its a full keep, albeit somewhat run down, and completely devoid of mobs. Its close proximity with the Blasted Lands and surrounded by Orcs on all sides make it perfect for any Blackrock Warlord, Dark Iron Insurgent, or Treacherous Human Insurgent. The area is also completely devoid of Mobs, too, and the only mobs you'll have to face on your way there will be between level 15 and 17, making it a very convenient location for anyone of lower level.
2: Caer Darrow and Scholomance
For those who don't know, Caer Darrow, located on Darrowmere Lake, is the little town/village that surrounded the now infamous Scholomance, School of Necromancy. This place is absolutely amazing for a Villain Base - The village is filled with old and run down buildings, inns, decrepit smithies, an old dock, statues overgrown with moss and lichen, Scourge Banners tattered on posts and old wagons and war machines rotting around the strewn bones of fallen enemies, rusted cannons still primed atop the parapets of its scummy foundations. Atop the hill of this bastion to filth and disease is the overhead fort foundation of Scholomance, busted, burnt, broken, all but forgotten in the minds of men where you lay your trap to spring upon the waiting world once more. Even the Viewing Room, where you fight Kirtonos the Herald in Scholomance Proper, can be found, and you can use a small, non instanced replica built into the northern mountainside.
The best part? This place is virtually Mob-free. Yup, not a mob in sight, save for once and so often again a Rare level 40 Abomination that sometimes spawns in the doorway to the keep. The zone itself is filled with monsters anywhere between the levels of 35 and 40, but the lakeshore and the island itself are all barren and perfect for you next great villainous escapade.

Tomorrow is what i feel like will be the biggest match-up of the 2011 D1 College Cup. The No. 1 Stanford Cardinals (22-0-1) will host No. 4 Oklahoma State Cowgirls (22-1-2). Both teams have an outstanding senior class, and have a powerful offense and defense. Oklahoma State, the No. 2 seed in its 16-team quad, advanced by beating Arkansas-Pine Bluff, 9-1, Illinois, 1-0, and Maryland, 1-0. Maryland tied Stanford earlier this season, 0-0.This is the first meeting between Stanford and OSU. Two common 2011 opponents: Maryland and USC. Stanford tied Maryland and beat USC. OSU beat both.
As a fan of Texas A&M, i will never support OSU. But i could also never deny the strength they have shown this season. I do feel though, that this is the year for the Card. We'll see tomorrow night at 7:00 p.m. PT!

Pictured (left to right): NJ Senator Linda Greenstein; Jennifer Winell, MD, Department of Surgery, The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia; Plainsboro Mayor Peter Cantu; CHOP patient Danielle Hirsch; Steven M. Altschuler, MD, Chief Executive Officer of The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia; Barry S. Rabner, President & Chief Executive Officer of Princeton Healthcare System; NJ Assemblyman Daniel Benson. The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) today broke ground on a 25,000-square-foot Specialty Care Center on the new campus of the University Medical Center of Princeton at Plainsboro, located at the intersection of Route 1 and Plainsboro Road. The Center will replace an existing one located on nearby Alexander Road in Princeton.
The current Center, which opened in 2000, has 16 medical and surgical specialties, including ENT, ophthalmology, orthopedic surgery, neurology and gastroenterology. It is one of more than 50 CHOP Care Network locations in New Jersey, Philadelphia and the surrounding counties offering top-ranked primary and specialty care services to families close to home.
The new space will provide an additional 15,000 square feet, with the ability to expand up to a total of 100,000 square feet, to allow for future program growth. The new Center will house all of the existing programs and specialties and add physical, occupational and speech therapy, as well as diagnostic x-ray, providing greater convenience and continuity of care for patients and families.
"We continue to increase the CHOP Care Network offerings to meet the needs of our patients seeking first-class care close to home," said Amy Lambert, senior vice president of the CHOP Care Network. "This new space will make it possible to provide additional services right here in New Jersey, in a state-of-the-art, family-friendly facility."
Construction is expected to be completed in early 2015.
The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Care Network has more than 50 locations in southeastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey, offering top-ranked primary and specialty care services in convenient community-based locations.
