The reason I object to causes that aim to improve working conditions in Chinese tech mills by protesting and/or boycotting Apple isn't because I don't think people deserve a humane employment environment. It's because the rationale that makes up this pressure is half-assed, if it exists at all. Because Apple makes the biggest margins on its smartphones and tablets, Apple should empty its pockets into some kind of the rainbow puppy fund which magically improves the lives of workers. How that transaction gets created, funded and administered is usually met with some kind of dismissive hand motion on the part of the people who already signed up at SumOfUs.org, and have therefore fully registered their indignation.
I hate to break it to all the armchair philanthropists out there, but the reason Apple makes upward of a 45% margin on their products is because what people are willing to pay – and in some cases how much wireless carriers subsidize – is far in excess of what these products cost now. The reason the iPhone can leverage large subsidies out of carriers started because Apple spent an enormous amount of effort and several years to build a non-shit mobile phone. Once it was designed, they shopped their product around confidently, and got Heismanned by Verizon before falling into the arms of AT&T, who signed them into an exclusive agreement. This exclusivity came at the expense of Apple's ability to market its device to other carriers, something that led directly to the army of shitpile Android knock-offs busting down Verizon's and other carriers' doors. If you recall, the first iPhone wasn't even subsidized by AT&T. Enough people paid full price for it that Apple was able to parley its success into a subsidy. Apple commands its margins because it built a superior, minimalist piece of consumer electronics kit vacuum-packed into Apple incredible App Store ecosystem, sold in the most pristine retail environments and supported in a way that earns the company best-in-class customer satisfaction awards every year. In other words, they didn't trip and fall into their current success – they earned it.
Part of the reason – a minor part, mind you – that Apple is able to offer its unicorn tears at a reasonable price is because Apple, like every consumer electronics maker on the planet, assembles their products in other countries, China chief among them. The part of the January 21 New York Times article that wasn't unsubstantiated former Apple employee heresy highlights why: it's less about the economics and more about the logistics. Apple makes wildly successful products that requires wildly massive outlays of human capital on demand. I have no doubt that some variation of the overtime abuse claimed in these pieces happens when Apple shifts into balls-out production mode. The speed at which the products are assembled is actually the biggest bottleneck Apple currently faces, something that's been mentioned by Tim Cook on more than one occasion. That's why Apple's building factories in other countries – to address the throughput issue in a way that's less taxing on existing resources. But that's in the future, and it may not be a complete solution. So how does Apple, who has been causing some stress to the channel used by others to assemble its wares, improve the conditions of workers fairly? Of course I have some ideas, the listing of which represents more effort than I've seen applied to the issue to date.
- Contact all the manufacturers of devices that use foreign labor to assemble their wares. Here's a partial list, from our friends at Wikipedia:
Acer Inc.
Barnes & Noble
EVGA Corporation
Sony Ericsson
- Announce that you're spearheading an initiative to improve working conditions in factories that their products are assembled and invite them to contribute. The fairest contribution methodology I can come up with is that it be a "tax" derived as percentage of the value of the components making up the device multiplied by the number of devices. Apple doesn't pay more per device because it makes more money, but it does pay more into the kitty because of its insane volume. Proceeds from Galaxy Tab assembly can be used for a "coffee of the month" subscription. Don't want to be a part of the Apple solution to the industry's problem? No sweat. Apple will make sure a list of contributors and non-contributors is publicly available so every crackpot .org can scream about boycotting your ass.
- Have Mike Daisey contribute $5/ticket from net proceeds of "The Agony and Ecstasy of Steve Jobs" to the same fund. As long as we're punishing Apple for making money off of its name, we may as well be thorough. I'm sure he'd agree. I'm kidding. Sort of.
- Have one of these watchdog groups administer the fund with input from representatives of the workforce. If it were me, I'd throw down a raise across the board and some extra incentive for overtime, but I don't know what floats the average factory laborer's boat. The point is that the spending decisions gets made based on worker input.
- Have the watchdog group also monitor the factories so they don't pull any bullshit like yanking down worker's salaries to account for the extra money they get from the Collective. They would also keep an eye on all the usual stuff like consecutive hours worked, total hours worked and appropriately-aged laborers. I assume that's the kind of stuff you pay these people for.
If the people caterwauling about Apple are interested in bettering the conditions of the people that assemble their consumer electronics, something like this represents a rational starting point. Singling out Apple, while probably more cathartic than indicting all manufacturers, is disingenuous and lazy. Real world problems spawned by globalization require solutions that go beyond shaking your fist and blindly boycotting. Real solutions don't penalize some companies more than others because some of them worked harder to enjoy their current level of success. They distribute the responsibility to all the parties involved. I hope Apple's response to its critics resembles a real, sustainable solution.

If I were to propose to my one, true, twice-married love, I am not sure I would hire the San Francisco Giants' ballpark to do it.
Then again, I am not Kanye West and am not currently in love with Kim Kardashian.
When you invite a teeming horde of your nearest and dearest to such a proposal, you make them sign a confidentiality agreement.
But you love them more than you trust them.
So when Valleywag tugged at my heartstrings and then poked my eyes toward a TMZ report, I was disturbed.
The word, you see, is that someone at the proposal filmed some of the proceedings and then posted them for the world to see.
This someone is alleged to have been YouTube co-founder Chad Hurley.
I am not sure how close Hurley and West truly are. Perhaps their shared love for fashion brought them together.
What seems evident, however, is that Hurley did post footage of the loving extravaganza to Twitter and to something called MixBit.
Those for whom love takes a backseat to commerce will be wondering what MixBit might be and whose brainchild it is.
According to Hurley's tweet, it's "an app that helps people create videos together." Yes, it's precisely what the world has been missing until now. And it is, indeed, the creation of Steve Chen and, um, Chad Hurley.
This might leave the intriguing question as to whether Hurley might have had an accomplice in the filming and posting of this masterwork (which has now enjoyed more than 1.5 million views).
Or, whether, indeed, it is Hurley at whom West is allegedly angry.
Still, TMZ insists of Kimye: "Our sources say they are PISSED OFF that someone present at AT&T Park secretly taped the proposal and leaked it. The couple thinks they know who did it, and that person signed a confidentiality agreement. We're told a lawsuit is imminent."
At the time of writing, the footage is still up on Twitter and MixBit.
So the mystery, like Kanye and Kim's love, deepens.

Discussion: the impact of blogging technologies on traditional communication
- Reading summary
- Discussion
- Project time
- Take 10 minutes and read one of your classmates, someone whom you haven't yet read
- Leave a comment (class participation, not required comment count) – include a question, either to the author or to the class
I know that most of the time there is a perceived level of objectivity in news reporting, but these things don't happen in a vacuum and someone's opinion is bound to influence stories. I think we recognize that as readers and it is therefore only natural that we find blogs to be more authentic and credible as a result. At least it's clear which way political bias leans in blogs and it makes it easier for readers to understand how a post may be skewed.
I wouldn't be at all surprised if the future of mainstream media begins to look a little less like a circus, and more like organizations who have to compete with more raw, real, and altogether better, though smaller, news sources. In competition, in my world I'm painting in my mind, mainstream media will start concentrating on unfettered, hard news. Pandering to drama will become a thing of the past.
Politics makes me sad. It really does. I get very frustrated because politics is all about getting your way and doing what's best for the people whose hands are in your pockets, not the people you represent.
The million dollar question is, how do we integrate the web 2.0 into the existing structure? My personal opinion (and I'm pretty sure the economy would crash, again, if this advice were to be followed), is that it shouldn't… The change I am suggesting is not just that we give up on local papers and local news channels – but we need a bigger culture shift. Be comfortable with listening to something and give credence to words and ideas and thoughts and feelings that come from something other than CNN and 'brought to you by…' pictures. It's different than our parents past, and different from their parents. This is still the infancy of the Web 2.0 revolution, and right now it's only the media that we are discussing, but we are in an in-between stage right now, and it isn't far enough. I'm willing to walk down that path, because the only other option is to turn back.

Discussion leaders
I'm glad the author referenced the @BPGlobalPR Twitter feed at the height of the Gulf oil spill. To me, reading that every day, was like taking Jon Stewart, The Onion and Twitter, and mashing it with our collective frustrations and need to cope with the insanity and stupidity.
My Grandpa is a retired politician. He retired about 20 years ago. I remember finding a bunch of pot holders in an old box at his house when I was a kid. They were red, white and blue and they had his name on them, along with a small elephant silhouette. That was part of campaigning back then. When I asked him about the pot holders he said, "The idea was to try to get women votes." Because of course that's what a man of his age would say.
The second finding I was intrigued by stated that blog readers perceive blogs as a more credible source of news than any other medium, including newspapers, TV, and radio news. One of the reasons for this is because complex information is presented in a manner that is understandable and relevant to their audience. That is the exact reason that if I were to want to start following political news, I'd turn to blogs.
1. Discussion questions (small groups and then larger group)
- Why might readers perceive blogs as more credible than traditional news sources?
- How has politics been affected by social media?
2. Tips questions (small groups – summarize and comment on this blog post w/group member names)
- How do you find blog(s) that you follow? [political or otherwise]
- How do you evaluate a blog [political or otherwise] before committing and subscribing to it?
Your questions
- How do you find blog(s) that you follow? [political or otherwise]
- There was a study finding in the "Why Blog?" paper that stated that blog readers perceive blogs as a more credible source of news than any other news medium. Why do you think this to be true? (If you even think it's true.)
- What do you think it would be like [what would it take!] if something as big as CNN just completely abandoned television and went fully digital?
- What does it mean that politics has been affected by social media?
- How does politically concentrated blogging activities compare with offline participation in politicians campaigning for office?
- How do you evaluate a political blog (before committing and subscribing to it!)?
From comments
- what other arguments are there that support separating amateurs from professional?
- [flipped] how will formal news agencies affect blogging?
- Why does a political candidate get positive attention for taking full advantage of social media, when they likely don't even know the login/password to their account?
- What would encourage consumers to look past their preconceived ideas?
- why do people never question the validity of anything in the media about politics? What gives them the "approval" stamp?
- How can we awaken people to other conversations when they're not necessarily wanting to be open in the first place?
- What exactly makes a source credible?
- what impact do you think is being made through using social media?
- 15 fake and funny Twitter accounts, 2009 (via Kimberly)

My questions/Assignment
Pick one of these questions and write post before we reconvene on Wednesday. Categorize as "assignment"
- What does it mean to be a citizen journalist?
- If we were to write a code of ethics for political or organizational bloggers, what are some things it should contain? How might the two be different? Here's an example from 2002 and an example from 2007; here's the SPJ code of ethics and the Washington News Council Tao of Journalism. From Slideshare: Do's and Don'ts for Political Bloggers (Barcelona, 2010)
- What significant digital trend is likely to impact journalism next? [students respond]
Project/lab time

Renhuang Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (RHGP.OB)is the market leader in traditional OTC medicines and Acanthopanex-based products. Vertically integrated, Renhuan is a developer, manufacturer and distributor of high-quality nutraceutical, natural medicinal and bio-pharmaceutical products in mainland China. It offers three major product lines: Acanthopanax-based natural medicinal products, the Shark Power healthcare series and Traditional Chinese Medicines.
Renhuang has an established multi-channel research and development infrastructure in China. This infrastructure consists of approximately 50 in-house researchers and engineers, a post-doctoral work center approved and supported by the Chinese government, and collaborations with leading institutions and scientists.
Renhuang is China's leading supplier of Acanthopanax-based natural medicines and controls 70% of China's Acanthopanax resource, which is also known as Siberian Ginseng. The Company plans to distribute its products through China's major drug store chains in urban and suburban markets, through top-tier hospitals and through a multi-layer network consisting of over 2,000 sales agents and 70 sales centers across 24 districts covering over 50% of China. Renhuang also plans to extend its distribution to Russia and Southeast Asia.
In September 2006, Renhuang acquired Harbin Renhuang Pharmaceutical Company Limited. The company later acquired all of the assets of Qingyang Herbal Extracting Factory in March 2007. The acquired Qingyang facility doubles the Company's current herb extraction capacity and enables processing of approximately 18,000 tons of herbal raw materials. Renhuang strictly adheres to international Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) production quality standards and has invested in cutting edge technologies.
Renhuang Pharmaceuticals is headquartered in Harbin located within the Heilongjiang Province in Northeast China. China's demand for health care and pharmaceutical products is expected to rise significantly due to a rapidly growing middle class and an aging population. In addition to growing pharmaceutical needs, herbal medicines remain extremely popular with Chinese consumers and are gaining acceptance with consumers in Western countries as well.

I saw this appear over a 1 hour period. It doesn't look finished. I wonder what it is...
I think the only logical explanation is aliens. First they do Stonehenge and crop circles, and now this???
At least it's comforting to see that they use simple tools like shovels, and not crazy high-tech-laser-beam-matter-changing-nuclear-light-saber-human-genocide devices. Or is the shovel there just to throw us off and lull us into a false sense of security???

Speed Works Motorsport Championship – New Zealand Grand Prix.
February is New Zealand Grand Prix time and this year it's going to be bigger and better than for years.
New Zealand is one of only two places outside of Formula One allowed to use the words 'Grand Prix' and it's well deserved as the future stars of Formula One aim to put their names on a trophy adorned with the names of the some of the sport's all-time greats. It's the first Grand Prix of 2018, and it's the biggest single motor race of the year in Aotearoa. Simply unmissable.
The best ever supporting cast includes the penultimate round of the BNT V8 championship, with awesome jaw-dropping V8 Class 1 machines from Holden, Ford, Nissan and Toyota all likely to star.
The country's top tin top championship is joined by the Toyota 86 series, Pirelli Porsche, Tradezone GTRNZ two grids of GT1/GT2 and GT3/GT4 car, NEXEN Pro 7 Mazda and the season's biggest field of Portergroup V8 Utes, which traditionally put on some fantastic racing at the Manawatu circuit.
With the F1 stars of the future all aiming to make their next step on the way to the top of the ladder, the grass roots single seater categories of Formula Ford 1600 and Formula First complete the picture and are also guaranteed to provide action from start to finish.
The Grand Prix this year is going to be bigger and better off track too, with high quality corporate hospitality and a big crowd coming from all parts of the North Island and the South Island. It's game on for the biggest trophy in NZ motorsport, and for all drivers to win on the international stage.

The numbers are staggering. Each year as many as 15% of all U.S. hospital admissions, some 100,000 deaths and $136 billion in medical costs result from harmful reactions to drugs. But relief is on the way. All too aware of the toll on the nation's health and pocketbook, medical researchers are devising a host of safer and more effective drug-delivery systems, many of them also designed to overcome the pain and inconvenience of traditional remedies. They range from such low-tech items as anal suppositories to innerspace-age microcraft reminiscent of the tiny ship that carried Raquel Welch through a patient's blood vessels...
Beyond Needles And Pills
Drug reactions kill tens of thousands of patients each year. Part of the problem is how the medicine is being delivered

Being the best at your craft is an honor that few can list on their resume. When it comes to the world of extreme metal, no one has a more valid claim to that position than Norwegian multi-instrumentalist Ihsahn. Through his time with Emperor, and on into his successful solo career, he has managed to redefine the boundaries of progressive metal. On "Eremita," his fourth solo album, Ihsahn picks up where his last effort, "After," left off. He continues to fuse styles into one massive entity, one that is sure to keep the most finicky metal fan happy.
The opening track, "Arrival," is exactly that, a landing spot. Darting guitars and the pounding of drums greet you, followed shortly after by the hugely abrasive voice of Ihsahn himself. His voice embodies all of the grit and rage of black metal, but with a finesse that makes it all the more accessible. To offset he heavier passages, he enlisted Einar Solberg to provide the more sullen, clean vocals. What you find is the ability to move back and forth across that thin line between grace and grime, beauty and beast. As always, the musicianship here is excellent, switching seamlessly between pulsing blast beats and blistering guitar work. And, as if the hammer hadn't been dropped already, "The Paranoid" takes things to a new level of heavy. The drums are unrestrained, filling every miniscule gap with thunderous kicks and snares. The touches of melody scattered throughout are perfect, both in instrumental and vocal form. And despite getting so little credit for his songwriting ability, Ihsahn brings some well written lyrics to the party here, laying down the cyclical "The shame feeds the anger, feeds the shame, feeds the anger, feeds the shame." Slight electronic influences in the outro bring the track to a fitting close.
Without missing a beat, he rolls directly into "Introspection," a fitting title for a track that embodies all of his melodic sensibilities in one six minute opus. The tone of his clean vocals carries the weight of sadness, while his harsh vocals bring a more emotional edge. With an assist from Devin Townsend on vocal duties, they blaze through verse and chorus over and over, all the while sitting atop a bed of double kicks and ripping guitar work. Every guitar riff manages to be powerful and consistent, without ever being overbearing or overdone. Even the most simple chord change is aptly delivered. The first true appearance of that signature jazz fusion comes in "The Eagle And The Snake," with saxophonist Jorgen Munkeby flexing his muscle in lead and rhythm form. The winding guitars twist and turn, becoming tangled in the web of sax and percussion. Anyone familiar with the previous Ihsahn efforts can sense what comes next, as Munkeby's sax squeals and wails over a foundation of drums, bass, and guitars. Don't think for a second that you won't be bombarded with the guitar work you know and love. Rather you get a dual lead, woodwind and string, playing off of one another. There is something overtly dark and epic about this track, something that plays out perfectly in its nearly nine minute frame.
The way the saxophone initiates the melody on "Catharsis" is proof positive that this particular fusion is well worth the attention to detail. Ihsahn has a voice that works in the most raucous of musical settings, but also commands the more laidback and subdued areas. A silky smooth bass line accompanies light guitar picking, with only a light patter of drums beneath it all. The soul in the vocal carries the track from start to finish, with bursts of distorted guitar padding things out in the second half. Without warning, "Something Out There" roars into action, with a devastating bit of drumming smashing the walls. The black metal influence shines through, but with a more melodic, progressive format. In tracks like this one, the common misconception of coarse vocals being unintelligible is shattered, with each screaming lyrics coming through with crystal clarity. Airy keyboards add an additional layer to the guitar melody, adding a richness to the mix. And with a style that is both unique and impressive, Ihsahn delivers a dueling guitar solo that sends things into a roaring fire. The aforementioned keys return in force in the interlude track, "Grief." With the synthesizers joining the low chords of a piano and some horns, you have a track that is both ominous and emotional.
With relative ease, you transition into "The Grave," boasting a screaming saxophone intro that quickly hands the baton to a harsh vocal. Each crashing cymbal draws you farther into the darkness, while every kick knocks you back. Somehow, there is a balance of sound, one that stays consistent throughout, not wavering or faltering with the passing of time. The opening minutes are so simplistic in their delivery, minus the virtuosic saxophone performance of course, but not at all wasted. What you experience is a controlled chaos at times, one that seems to find its way back to civilization before too long, with the aid of some chanting and wildly imaginative drum patterns. For a finale, "Departure" works on so many levels. The cinematic feel of the opening seems to be the proper way to begin to tie the story together. As the pounding of drums enter, you start to sense something bigger coming your way. And, without fail, that something comes in the form of a massive explosion of distortion and percussion. But when you think you are destined for one, long slaughterhouse of metal, things are dialed back, and you are treated to a subtly beautiful interlude of sorts, one that could be compared to the crooning styles of Las Vegas. Everything you love about this music, and this musician, is all present here, giving you every reason to stand, cheer, pump your fist, and hang your head.
It would seem that, after four solo albums, Ihsahn can do no wrong. Everything the man touches turns to gold. And the beauty of it all is that he continues to evolve his sound, expanding on the ideas of one album, and turning it into an entirely new piece of work. Yes, you can easily tell that the man you hear on these nine songs is the same man that wrote "Adversary," "Angl" and "After." He didn't abandon those concepts and become something altogether new. But it would be impossible to confuse any of those efforts with this one. "Eremita" is heavier, grittier, and more refined. There are key differences to hear and celebrate. After all, this album doesn't even begin with the letter "a".

Walking the tight tope of coopetition: Impact of competition and cooperation intensities and balance on firm innovation performance
Document Type
Publication Date
This study empirically investigates an important question in the coopetition literature: to what extent does coopetition impact a firm's innovation performance? With a focus on the intensity of competition and intensity of cooperation of a focal firm with its alliance partners, our theory proposes that a moderate level of competition with alliance partners is more beneficial than a very high or a very low level of competition. We further develop the concept of "balance" in coopetition and examine how the interplay of competition and cooperation and the balance between the two matter for innovation performance. Results from our empirical study using data from the semiconductor industry show that competition and cooperation intensities have non-monotonic positive relationship with firm's coopetition-based innovation performance. Further, balanced coopetition (i.e., when competition is moderately high and cooperation is high) has a positive effect on innovation performance. A key contribution of this paper is the conceptualization and empirical demonstration of the effects of various aspects of coopetition such as competition dominant, cooperation dominant, and balanced coopetition on innovation performance.

Scarves have become an important part of men's and women's closet, they are a stylish accessory and can make any boring outfit look great and fashionable. If women started wearing scarves long ago, men have just discovered a new accessory that brings charm and sex appeal. Having a scarf in your wardrobe is just as necessary as to have a wardrobe at all. Unfortunately, many men just don't know the right way to wear a scarf. Some are too conservative to buy one though they find stylish other people wearing scarves.
Let's start today with the easiest and classic knot which is the European loop. Sometimes it's also called the Parisian knot. It provides a great amount of warmth without sacrificing style and the resulting look is very European and sophisticated.
So, how should men wear the European loop to match their outfit? There are 2 examples of classic combinations that always look good.
This knot looks great on a short button-down jacket or a coat with a notched collar. On a very cold day, you can tuck the scarf into the jacket. It's also good for wearing on a short trim or leather jacket.
Many celebrities like David Beckham or Brad Pitt wear their scarf with a polo neck shirt with long sleeves or a pullover.
Of course, before tying a scarf, make sure that it will be matching your outfit. Don't be afraid of colorful scarves, they will draw attention to your face. But if you are too conservative or only starting to play with the scarves, buy yourself a dark blue, black, maroon or a grey scarf. They will look very stylish and will go with everything.
In How to Tie a Scarf app you'll find many other fascinating scarf knots. More info how to wear scarves in our future posts!

Image Expo happened yesterday in a chilly San Francisco, at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. All I can say is, we've come a long way from the 'dark,' angst-ridden vanity projects of the 90s. Image is turning out some of the best creator-owned books in the business today, and the event provided a lot of hope for an exciting 2014. Some takeaways:
- Kirkman and Adlard's The Walking Dead is the number one bestselling book for the second year running. No doubt the book's success owes more than its share to the epic ratings of the television show, but so what? Marvel and DC have become subservient to their TV and movie products as well. It's fantastic to see someone give the big houses a run for their money.
- Publisher Eric Stephens delivered a keynote address packed with announcements. Lots of potential here: Matt Fraction's Ody-C, Brandon Graham's 8House collaborations, Kelly Sue DeConnick's Bitch Planet and the resurrection of Robert Kirkman's Tech Jacket by Joe Keatinge.
- Image continues to expand its storefront offering DRM-free digital comics in PDF/CBR/CBZ formats. I love seeing more publishers offer actual ownership for the cost of purchase rather than the crappy, provisional rental licenses of third party comics sellers.
The comics industry seems to be on the upswing this year, and I'm looking forward to the new output. I suppose that's the definition of a successful event.

http://education.independent.co.uk/news ... 304420.eceMinisters are nowhere near their goal of 85 per cent of 11-year-olds leaving primary school able to read, write and do their arithmetic to the required level by next year, national curriculum test results will show.
This year's test results, to be announced in a fortnight, will show a slight improvement in both maths and English this year. But they will be far short of the Government's "aspiration" of getting 85 per cent of youngsters to reach the required level in each subject next year.
The improvement of about 1.3 per cent in maths and 1.6 per cent in English make it touch and go whether the Government will even meet the target it set for 2002 of 80 per cent in English and 75 per cent in maths.
These are the findings of an exclusive survey of English education authorities by The Independent. They show that if ministers are to meet what was once a target for 2006 but is now only an aspiration, drastic action must be taken to improve standards.
Ruth Kelly, the Secretary of State for Education, has already announced an inquiry into the way the national literacy strategy is taught. She charged its chairman, Jim Rose, with considering more wide-spread use of synthetic phonics in the teaching of reading in primary schools

Chicken Noodle Soup
Few things taste more comforting than homemade chicken noodle soup on a chilly autumn day. I followed my mom's recipe to make this delicious soup for dinner with friends last week. Soup is great for get togethers because it is convenient to keep warm, easy to eat and almost universally loved. Here's how I made it:
Begin by placing a whole chicken (insides removed) in a large stock pot with some halved carrots and celery stalks, quartered onions, garlic cloves, peppercorns, bay leaves, sprigs of thyme basil, oregano and salt. Cover just barely with water and bring to a boil. Skim the surface for any impurities floating around. Reduce the heat to med-low, cover and allow to simmer for 1 1/2 - 2 hours depending on the size of your bird.
For the noodles, start with a couple cups of flour. I used cake flour because I was out of all purpose, which is normally what you would use. Cake flour worked well, though! I suspect the fineness of the flour prevented the dough from rising, which is great because puffy noodles are weird, unless that's what you're going for. Next, mix a teaspoon of salt into the flour mixture.
Make a well (dig out a hole in the middle of the bowl, piling spoonfuls of flour mixture along the sides of the bowl until a nice well forms in the middle) and crack three eggs into it. Beat the eggs with a fork and then start incorporating the flour mixture. Do this gradually. At some point, you will need to use your hands to mix/knead. Keep adding flour until it won't take anymore. You can knead it in the bowl or on a floured surface, about five minutes. Let the dough rest for a few minutes before rolling it out.
Cut the ball of dough in half and roll each section out separately- this helps with getting it as thin as possible.
Halfway there!
Roll the noodle dough up like a jelly roll.
Cut off pieces of any width you like and unroll them to make long noodle strands.
Dry them on a tea towel for a few hours and then they're ready to boil! Some of my noodles had funny shapes like zig zags because I didn't roll my dough into a perfect rectangle (or a rectangle at all, let's be honest) so if that bothers you, roll your dough out to have four right angles and you'll be good to go.
By now, the chicken should be done, so remove it and let it cool. Strain the broth with a fine sieve and reserve the strained liquid. Once the chicken is cool, shred it into pieces using two forks, removing skin and bones. Set aside.
Add fresh chopped carrots, celery, onion and herbs to a pan and saute in a couple tablespoons of olive oil. Cook for about 6 minutes until vegetables start to soften but are still crunchy.
Add the strained broth to the vegetables and bring to a boil, then drop in the noodles a couple at a time. Keep tasting the noodles to see when they're ready- mine took about eight minutes. Reduce the heat when the noodles are done and add the chicken. Adjust seasoning to your liking- I added a generous about of Lawry's seasoning to mine. Warm and serve!

It's super easy to make and really good:
Mix two boxes of vanilla pudding mix with three cups of milk
Add half a can of pumpkin puree
Fold in a container of whipped topping
Layer graham crackers, slightly overlapping, on the bottom of a serving dish, to form the first layer.
Spoon a layer of pumpkin mixture on top of the graham crackers, then repeat the process until the pan is full. Refrigerate at least three hours or overnight.
Finally, cut out leaf stencils and lay them on the cake. Dust a mixture of cocoa and hot cocoa mix over the stencils and then peel them off to reveal the leaf pattern.
Bon Appetit!

Efficient resource management – our sustainable business model
Recycling, material flow management, waste avoidance – integrated concepts from a single source
The waste disposal industry has given way to the recycling management industry - a fact reflected today in politics and business. Returning the raw materials contained in waste to the recycling loop is a key component of sustainable resource management. The use of secondary raw materials also offers a way out of the impending raw materials crisis, by uncoupling economic growth and resource consumption on a fundamental level.
In fact, secondary raw materials already account for a good 14 per cent of German industry's annual raw material consumption. And Peter Altmaier, Federal Minister for the Environment, is convinced this will make the German economy more competitive in the long term.
Pioneers in conserving resources
We spotted the potential of targeted, systematic recycling early on. By the late sixties, we had already started investing in modern processing and recycling technologies, returning as much waste-derived raw material as possible to the production cycle.
Today we're ranked among the world's leading environmental and recycling service providers, providing industries with vital secondary raw materials.
We cover the entire spectrum of environmental services, from consultation on waste disposal and the packaging licensing, to the development of modern recycling procedures and customised material flow concepts, to the provision of high-quality secondary raw materials.
The sustainability of our business model is clear from our recycling rates, which currently stand at around 80 per cent of all waste entrusted to our care. For glass, the rate is almost 100 per cent; for residual waste, up to 98 per cent. And waste paper can be used up to eight times if sorted properly. We also make a significant contribution to resource conservation through the separate collection, sorting and recycling of sales packaging.
Targeting the complete product life cycle
In future, our primary concern will be to move to recycling all raw materials in general, instead of focusing on a few selected material flows. This requires an integrated approach to all product life cycles, taking into account product design, manufacture and usage, as well as collection and return to the value creation process. We're working with the industry and the retail sector to combine operational material flow management, waste avoidance and high-quality recycling in a single integrated concept. The aim is to process waste into secondary raw materials that match primary raw materials in terms of quality and fetch the going rates on the world markets.

We're telling all.
Banking may have gone high tech but checks are still very much in use. Writing a check is a safe and secure way to pay bills and transfer money between people and businesses. Here's how to do it.
When you write a check, the money is withdrawn from your checking account, although not immediately, as it takes a few days to process it. You should write checks for only the money that you have in your account. Going over the total amount is not a good idea.
Always use a good pen to write a check so no one can erase or change what you've written. Write clearly, accurately and complete every section so that your check clears as quickly as possible.
You can help protect yourself against fraud just by learning to write a check properly. For instance, only you should sign your checks and your signature should always look the same. Write your checks without leaving big gaps of space so that no one can make changes to your check. If you do make an adjustment, initial the space next to the change.
Remember: Always destroy any checks you have voided and never sign or give a blank check to anyone.
The maker or payor is you. And the payee is the person you write the check to.
1. Date
The date section always appears in the upper right-hand corner. Write today's date either way: June 1, 2015 or 6/1/15.
2. Pay/To the order of
This is the person or company who is getting your money. Write out their full name correctly.
3. Dollar Amount
This is the amount you're paying with this check. Write it out in numbers to the penny and do it right next to the $ sign like this: $10.50.
4. Written Amount
This is also the amount you're paying but written out in words. Start at the very left of the blank with the dollar amount. Then draw a line through the remaining blank space until you get to the "/100" area. Put the amount of cents over the /100 like this: Ten dollars–––––––––––––––––––50/100.
5. Memo
This line is optional but you can use it to remind yourself what the check was for like "March rent".
6. Signature
This is where you sign. Your check is not valid or payable unless it has your signature.
Check Register
This is the booklet that comes with every set of checks. Use it to list the checks you write and add in any money you deposit so your register is always up to date.
Staying on top of your account helps you avoid "bouncing" a check. A bounced check is also known as an NSF check (non-sufficient funds), when there isn't enough money in the account to cover the check. Your bank may charge you a penalty or fee for this.

Freshman forward Katy Generelli (Spotswood, N.J., Spotswood) scored three goals and sophomore Amy Olson (Crofton, Md., Arundel) added two goals and two assists to lead the University of Mary Washington women's soccer team to a 9-1 win at Gallaudet University on Sunday afternoon in Capital Athletic Conference action in Washington, D.C. With the win, UMW improves to 7-1-2 overall, and 2-0-1 in CAC play.

From then on, the Eagles would score eight straight to close the game. Senior Allison DiPippa (Centreville, Va., Westfield) put the Eagles ahead in the 28th minute, with Generelli scoring the first of her three tallies in the 38th minute. UMW held a 3-1 lead at halftime.

Busy day for Gabe… mid-school day he has to leave for the team's first CAHA weekend in Valencia…. From there he goes on to his goalie instructor and then flies home Sunday evening.
Monica and I will have a much quieter weekend. We have all Saturday to ourselves, then she has a game on Sunday (the team's first NorCal regular season game) followed by lunch in San Jose with Alex (it's been way too many weekends without).
Maybe I can get some metal clay stuff done on Saturday. It's certainly been long enough… a month or so.

If your helmet is broken in a crash you will be considered to have a head injury. Even if you have no symptoms, at least 4 hours must pass to ensure no late onset of concussion. Your options if no ambulance is deemed to be required is to call someone to pick you up or to get another rider to drive you home. Do not attempt to drive yourself.
Remember that the first aider will ring an ambulance if they believe it is required.

Lara Giddings' announcement of a Tasmanian state election for March 15 sets up the first quarter of 2014 as something of an election fiesta for Australia.
You may have sighed a sigh of huge relief when the clock ticked over on New Year's Eve, putting 2013 and all its electioneering firmly in the "last year" bin.
But 2014 is the new 2013 when it comes to elections.
The new year begins with a byelection in Kevin Rudd's old seat of Griffith on February 8.
They're already off and racing there. Today alone, we had Labor leader Bill Shorten campaigning in the seat, outrage over a Bill Glasson volunteer blocking a disabled spot and the Bullet Train Party posting spoof Kevin videos online.
Along with Griffith and Tasmania, South Australians will also vote in a state election on March 15.
And with the High Court currently considering what to do about the dud WA Senate result, there is a sporting chance there will be yet another vote out West in time for the new Senate to bump in on July 1.
On paper, the tide is coming in for the Coalition across the country.
Giddings and SA Labor Premier Jay Weatherill will have to fight hard and cross their toes to hang on to government.
Giddings on Thursday described herself as the proverbial underdog – and for good reason. The most recent EMRS opinion poll showed the ALP with just 22 per cent backing, compared to the Greens' 19 per cent, and the Liberals' 49 per cent.
In South Australia, Weatherill weathered a frosty Newspoll just before Christmas that had Labor at 33 per cent and the Liberal Party at 40 per cent.
So come the next COAG meeting in April, Prime Minister Tony Abbott could be blissfully facing Coalition governments all around the table, with the exception of Katy Gallagher's Labor government in the ACT.
(Although the full set of states may not last for long, with a one-seat margin in Victoria and a state election set for November 29.)
And yet, things aren't all cupcakes and rainbows for the Coalition in Canberra.
The week began with yet another opinion poll putting Shorten's Labor convincingly in front. Roy Morgan had Labor at 52.5 per cent two-party-preferred, compared to the Coalition's 47.5 per cent.
It would appear that the only honeymoon period Tony Abbott has had was with Margie in 1988.
No wonder Giddings was quick to frame her pitch to voters this afternoon around her opposition to Tony Abbott.
"We have an enemy before us called Tony Abbott, and the Liberal Coalition Government nationally, that is taking away reforms that we fought so hard for," she said, nominating the National Disability Insurance Scheme, the National Broadband Network, health and education as key areas of concern.
Politicians are always at pains to stress that "the only poll that matters is election day".
Lucky, then, that we have at least three such days coming soon to a polling booth near you.

I was messing about on the Internet (like we're all doing, all the time, it seems), and stumbled upon the Kindle pages for each of my books. This isn't the sales page, but a page where readers' public comments and highlights show up. It's a collection of everyone's favorite lines and scenes.
Most of the books had a few different passages highlight, but Turning For Home, my 2015 novel about retiring and retraining a beloved racehorse, had just one passage highlighted — over and over again. I was struck by how many people found that one sentence so relatable.
The phrase "heart horses" turns up a lot nowadays. These are the horses who grab hold of us even when we're trying to make business decisions, or trying to move on with our lives. The heart horses are the ones we can never, ever forget — our connection was too deep. I've definitely had two horses who meant the world to me, out of the dozens whom I simply enjoyed, or rode, or made friends with.
Looks like a lot of you have had heart horses, too.

There are some occasions in the course of work as Support Escalation Engineer in Microsoft that we rely heavily in analyzing SharePoint metadata. Installing software in a production environment is a no-no for most companies (or at least it requires a change control request). I had put together a few features in an Explorer like SharePoint GUID that uses web-services and thus does not have to be installed in the server (any desktop will do). The way it is now, it is still very incipient but it enables you to verify most of internal metadata of lists definition and results sets. I had put it in codeplex a long time a go and planned to get back to work with it again soon. This time actually never came. Now, a friend in Australia volunteered to help me finish the application. I am also bringing this back to life because a colleague here at Microsoft, Yuri Diogenes, from the Security Team worked with me in a MOSS/ISA issue and found the application helpful to identify Alternate Access Mapping (AAM) and Host Headers issues. The application let's you choose your authentication mode with SharePoint (User/Password, Current User or Certificate).
After connecting, it lists all site collection lists and libraries:
Including the metadata internals:
You can download it here:
The full source code is also included. Please noticed that this is a personal project I put in Codeplex. This is not a Microsoft Product.

QANTAS has cemented its place in the world's top ten airlines moving up one spot to ninth in the annual Skytrax World Airline Awards.
The Flying Kangaroo also won Best Airline in the Australia-Pacific, Best Airline Staff in the region, and Best Premium Economy on-board catering.
Budget partner Jetstar nabbed Best Low Cost Carrier in the Australia-Pacific leaving rival Virgin Australia empty-handed this year.
The world's largest airline Emirates was named the World's Best ahead of 2015 winner Qatar Airways.
The awards are based on passenger surveys completed by more than 19 million travellers from more than 100 countries, covering 280 airlines.
It was the fourth time the Dubai-based Emirates has been named the best since the awards began 15-years ago.
Emirates President Sir Tim Clark said they were honoured to be recognised.
"Emirates has always put our customers at the heart of what we do, and we work hard to deliver the very best experience possible to our customers at every touchpoint, every day, all around the world," said Sir Tim.
"We constantly invest in our product and services both on the ground and in the air. We listen carefully to our customers and then relentlessly challenge ourselves to deliver and exceed expectations."
He said the fact the awards were based on direct feedback from passengers was "gratifying and wonderful recognition for all the hard work that had gone into creating the Emirates' experience".
Qatar Airways was consoled by awards for World's Best Business Class, best Business Class Airline Lounge, while rival Middle Eastern carrier Etihad scored World's Best First Class.
Other airlines to make the top ten included Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific, ANA, Etihad, Turkish Airlines, Eva Air and Lufthansa.
Garuda Indonesia slipped out of the top ten to 11th place (from eighth in 2015) and Virgin Australia was rated 18th, down from 16th.
A Qantas spokeswoman said they had worked hard on improving their product and the awards
"matched up nicely with the really strong customer satisfaction we're seeing through our own passenger surveys".
"We often say that our people are our best asset and the win for Best Airline Staff in
Australia-Pacific is a testament to what a great job they do on the ground and in the air," she said.
Jetstar was equally thrilled with its nod for Best Low Cost Carrier in the Australia-Pacific.
"To stay number one, we've continued to provide low fares every day for customers and
lifted the bar for customer service for low cost airlines," said a Jetstar spokesman.

The Secret to Remarketing
A web site is a whole lot more than that which you are made to see, in website `it is the very first impression that is, in addition, the previous impression' and to that you would want to get a durable impression for those users and hence it is better that you locate a suiting kind of web design that will work best for your business enterprise. It is vital that you make your website content-rich and simple to navigate to present your visitors great experience each time they offer you a visit. When someone comes across the site of a little business, the possible customer's initial experience may be inadequate for her or him to earn a choice.
You want to understand how they found your site. It is necessary to identify who visited your website so you can easily retarget Facebook users, and make a Facebook pixel on your website.
Everything can be done on a single site free of hassle. Your site will appear good and you are going to be ready to get down to business. If you sell anything on your website, you are aware of how important it's to get people there.
From here you're going to be in a position to observe when users typically convert after their very first interaction and you'll have the ability to plan your remarketing campaign. After the user starts the application but doesn't finish the procedure, they are generally targeted with an ad that works to encourage them to go back to the advertiser's site. The users rarely purchase from you the very first time they go to your Website or see any exceptional deal. An internet user who regards the website but does not appear at any products can obtain an ad that attempts to educate them concerning the brand.
In Text ads use up no extra space on your page, so they make the ideal supplement to conventional ads. One particular single ad will not operate. Both skippable and non-skippable ads can appear prior to, during, or following the principal video.

The winner of the Spanish general election, Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, has promised to end Spain's close alliance with the US over Iraq and to revive its traditional ties with France and Germany.
Within hours of the election result, Mr Zapatero condemned the Iraq war and its US-led occupation as "disasters".
He said President George Bush and Britain's Prime Minister Tony Blair should engage in "self-criticism" for their mistakes.
He promised to bring home Spain's 1300-strong contingent of peacekeeping troops in Iraq.
He is to announce the date after his inauguration, in a few weeks.
Valuable ally
These outbursts may reflect Mr Zapatero's political inexperience, or his strong convictions.
Either way, they point to a re-heating of a cauldron of old arguments within Europe and across the Atlantic.
Under Jose Maria Aznar, Spain became - along with Britain - a pillar of the pro-American group of nations in western Europe.
Its main contributions were:
Along with Spain, the closest European allies of the US over Iraq and its strategy against terrorism are Britain, Denmark, Italy, Poland and most of the other eastern European countries which will join the European Union in May.
Germany and Belgium are in this group. Spain may now join them.
For 18 months, from August 2002 up to last month, efforts to forge a credible common foreign policy for the EU were stymied as these two rival camps clashed in a series of public wrangles.
The divide helped to poison the atmosphere as leaders from 25 governments in Western and Eastern Europe struggled last year to agree on the text of a new EU constitution, which was meant to demonstrate the unity and common purpose of Europe as a whole.
'Appeasement of terror'
Instead, the talks on a constitution collapsed at an EU summit meeting in Brussels last December.
Mr Zapatero has promised to revive Spain's traditional "pro-European" foreign policy.
Its main points are:
This set of proposals has been welcomed by France, but brought a cool response from the British government.
The European Commission President Romano Prodi, a champion of a stronger Europe, told the Italian newspaper La Stampa that the US strategy had failed, as it had led to international terrorism growing "infinitely more powerful".
But a long-standing friend of the US, the German Christian Democrat Friedbert Pflueger, told BBC Radio that the new Spanish government was engaged in "appeasement" of terrorism.
Al-Qaeda appeared to have succeeded in changing the government of one European country through terror.
"That must never happen again," he said.
