Ilene Lang - President of Catalyst, USA
"There is a strong link between how people interact with each other and the quality of their lives."
Vijaya Sharma - General Manager for Operations at Osho Meditation Resort, India
"Quality of Life improves when people learn to respect the balance between physical, professional and emotional values."
Brigitte Grésy - Inspector General for Social Affairs, France
"A key dimension in Quality of Life is how people manage the boundaries between professional and personal lives."
Angela Vera - Operations Supervisor for foodservices in the healthcare sector, Sodexo Chile
"At the end of the day, what makes a difference in people's Quality of Life is to be recognized for doing a good job! "
Angela is a Sodexo Operations Supervisor for foodservices in the healthcare sector, in Chile. She says it's a great job with a wide range of responsibilities, including logistics, consumers services and people management.
Angela believes that a good Quality of Life starts with a feeling of inner well-being. She reckons it is not an easy thing to achieve! Quality of Life also depends on your work environment. What helps Angela find a healthy balance is on-going communication with her colleagues but also with her partner in life: her husband.
For Angela, the number one rule to ensure a better Quality of Life is very simple: get out of the office! Staying all day behind a desk as if it were an airfield control tower is not a good thing for the well-being of her team. So Angela makes sure to go on sites, meet people face-to-face and take time to listen to everyone.
Angela stresses that it is critical that everyone feel appreciated. At the end of the day, what makes a difference in people's Quality of Life is to be recognized for doing a good job!
Isabelle Coltier - Communications Director of Cheval Français, France
"Quality of Life comes from the collective strength of the team."
Isabelle is the Communications Director of Cheval Français, an organization that promotes trotting races in France and also protects the uniqueness of the French Trotter breed. It's a job she enjoys thoroughly.
In her work environment, Isabelle believes that Quality of Life comes from the collective strength of the team. If success is limited to the manager's own happiness, it is pointless. Quality of Life means working as a team for greater satisfaction. Big events of Cheval Français are successful because they are true team efforts!
Isabelle enjoys working with high expectations and she strives for excellence, but she always stays cool. Her experience has taught her to manage stressful situations: "when you have spent weeks working hard on a great event but that on D-Day it is pouring rain, it is vital to keep your sense of humor!
Isabelle knows that a positive attitude is critical in ensuring a good Quality of Life with her team. She even has a little tip to foster this state of mind: a piggy bank right in the middle of the office! Anyone who forgets to stay positive has to drop a coin in the piggy bank!
Yvonne Johnson - General Manager at Cambridge Health Alliance Hospitals, USA
"Quality of life means being able to balance work and personal needs."
Yvonne works at Sodexo as a General Manager at Cambridge Health Alliance hospitals in the United States. She is in charge for the day-to-day food and nutrition services for the staff, patients and family members.
For Yvonne, quality of life means being able to balance work and personal needs. It all starts by having a regular work schedule to get oneself organized. Yvonne adds she often talks to her staff about internal state balance as well; people need to enjoy what they're doing. When people achieve a satisfying and well-balanced life, they work better; they are more focus as a result.
Yvonne believes it's important to have a positive impact on the Quality of Life of others. She works hard at providing excellent food services, by bringing quality and variety to the menus. Many people from different cultures work within the hospital. She occasionally asks them what their traditional food is. Then she asks for the recipe and the ingredients to showcase the recipe in the cafeteria. As Yvonne says, cooking food is a great way to make people feel comfortable and welcome!
Serena Romano - Consultant on gender issues and President of Corrente Rosa, Italy
"We must join forces to promote a better Quality of Life and make make a difference for everyone!"
Serena lives in Rome where she works as a consultant on gender issues for private companies, public institutions and civil society.
Serena is also the president of Corrente Rosa, an organization aimed at ensuring equal opportunities between women and men in the workplace.
She believes her activism is a way of promoting a better Quality of Life for everyone: a fairer and more effective society where women and men have equal rights. And today she feels optimistic: more and more people are joining forces to make a difference in their Quality of Life!
Serena is thrilled to see the question of equality once more on the agenda in Italy. So when politicians or employers take positive actions for women's rights, Corrente Rosa congratulates them for going in the right direction but of course keeps an eye on their progress. In Serena's opinion, that's what an active citizen needs to do in a healthy democracy.
Interview of Martine Durand
Martine Durand, Chief Statistician and Director of Statistics Directorate, OECD, explains to which extent there are differences between female and male when it comes to life satisfaction.
Expanding women representation
At the 2012 Women's Forum, Michel Landel, Sodexo CEO, presented Sodexo's strategic priority and challenges to foster the representation, engagement and development of women in leadership and operational positions.
Sodexo has received the prestigious 2012 Catalyst Award, honoring exceptional business initiatives that advance women in the workplace.

Read the press release
The Better Life Initiative is a major effort to provide policy and decision-makers with a broad range of statistics relevant to understand today's societies and economies. The Better Life Index is an important innovative tool that the OECD launched to respond to the need of developing measures that are directly relevant to people's well-being.
Working towards equality
Women represent 54 of Sodexo's workforce. Convinced of the need to promote their advancement, nurture talent and, more generally, foster diversity, Sodexo has long given high priority to gender equality.

Revisiting the Renaissance
Mugwort, rue, wormwood, borage, heartsease, feverfew, lovage, yarrow, tansy, and thyme, parsley, fennel, and bugloss…. the names of the plants in the new sixteenth-century garden at the UMass Amherst Renaissance Center resonate like lyrics to an old ballad, or ingredients for a magic spell.
The garden, a joint project of the center and the Stockbridge School of Agriculture, is on the center grounds just a short drive north of campus. The garden's wattle fence currently encloses 49 varieties of herbs and vegetables, such as a sixteenth-century family would grow.
Head gardener Jennie Bergeron conceived of and designed the garden as a kitchen or "pottage" garden—a utilitarian plot including vegetables and fruits for eating, and herbs for medicine, seasoning, brewing, or "strewing"—casting on a dirt floor for their scent. Pottage, a staple meal, was a broth cooked with whatever herbs and vegetables were on hand. To explore the intersection of nature, culture, and history that the garden represents, Bergeron, a certified herbalist, studied old herbals, many of which are in the center's rare books collection, to trace the origins of heirloom plants and design the grid-and-spoke layout of the garden.
Open to the community, the garden will serve as an ongoing resource for Stockbridge students studying history and ethnobotany, interested in the larger meaning of the garden as an example of sustainable, genetically diverse agriculture without chemicals or waste.
"In the seventeenth century, there were no commercial fertilizers or pesticides," points out John Gerber, professor of sustainable food and farming. "People lived without using fossil fuels or biotoxins in their gardens. So we can think back to a time before chemicals. How did people provide nutrients then, and what can we learn from them about soil fertility? This is useful knowledge for any homeowner wanting to grow a chemical-free garden. We can learn from history how to live and garden without destroying the world."
The Renaissance Garden joins the Renaissance Center's family of gardens, which includes a knot or topiary garden, rose garden, heritage apple orchard, and a contemplation grotto that was recently cleared for construction by local goats. Gardens can be a long-term commitment: the Renaissance Center will maintain the garden forever, says Director Arthur Kinney.

Just like to share my latest creation.
Deep Links;
The Samurai armour has the Green Gobby mask entirely replacing the front portion of the original armour. A little Sculpey was used to change the look of the eyes. Sword clip behind to hold the katana.
The samurai helm is your standard SW skiff guard's. Two holes were drilled to the sides of the helm, with cut-up cattlehorns glued on.
I finished the scythe last year, before I knew that the new Castle series were going to have it. This was originally intended for my Black Samurai, but the Kanji would not fit into this thinner blade.
The scythe blade uses ABS from one of those large 4x6 Lego flags. Two Lego clips were then cut and glued to the blade so that it'll click on to a polearm. Same concept as your official Lego axe-head.
The idea of the Fenris Wolf head for the Horse's helm, was also originally intended for my Black Samurai (but without those huge horns).
After hollowing out of the inside of the Wolf Head, I filled it with sculpey, forced it on, jammed more sculpey in, and boiled it together with the horse to achieve a "fit". With the sculpey contact to the Wolf Head being rough, while the horse head is smooth, the piece can be removed without much problems. This actually also makes it automatically fit the horse like a Lego piece.
Studs were then glued to the back of it so that two elephant tusks can be fitted as horns.
For the barding, the cut-out shape was rather painstaking. The barding design is meant to look like the torn skin of a Tatsu.
The decals were actually very difficult to put on; being such a large and unwieldy piece. I messed up 3 sets before getting the forth one on.
Thanks again to RB, who printed (repeatedly) all the decals for me.
Forgive me for going on and on.... Hope you will like the latest, Colour of the Samurai!
(Disclaimer: This is fictional fantasy character, and in NO way, does this represent, or is meant to be interpreted as, an ACTUAL ancient warrior of Japan)

Edit for those that haven't read comments recently… there are big updates below in the comments. Don't pass them up, I still can't believe it. OMFG!!!
I apologise for the horrible post title.
But it seems so very, very appropriate.
I posted my little recap of last night's gaming, and then went on out into the World… of Warcraft to catch up on news.
Why look! At WoW Insider, my favorite column is up… Guildwatch. Let's just see what's up…
Hmm, okay not much happening there…
Oh lookie, there is a mention of a badly done Guild Application by a young mage. Doesn't sound like much potential for humor, as a former Officer I've seen some doozies in my time. Poor grammer is only funny up to a point.
As an aside, haven't seen that kind of idiocy in Sidhe Devils thankfully, nothing but gold in the apps we've gotten. Don't ask me why, I think no one besides you guys has noticed we started a guild. And the asshats obviously see the 'we aren't a progression guild, we won't gear you for no effort here, we just try and have fun and put Real Life first, no srsly we mean it' Guild Charter and move on…..
But what the hey. Let's go check out the application… how bad can it be?
Oh. Oh my.
I'm going to post it here in an effort to preserve it in case of future deletion of that thread.
Vulc 70 mage
1. Tell about yourself. Who are you? Where are you from? How old are you? You are working or attending school? im steven also known as vulc, ima outgoing like to have fun and play wow. very interesd in joining i love to raid and want to get into it alot more. and from what ive seen… ur an amazing guild
2. Tell us about your computer and internet connection. my computer is decdent, have to restart it now in then working on investing a new case and cooling station… my pc overheat's, connection is very good
3. Tell us about your character. Guild, days played, spec., etc. Specifically…what guild did you come from, why are you leaving, why did they fail, how far did you progress? well i just joined celtic rage, herd about it from a friend, they stunk it up in tk 1st night i was in there. ive got over 110 day's played and my gear is decent mostly made gear. 1093+ fire dmg
4. When are you available? Can you play during the day? Every night? mostly every night, from 5-11
5. What gear do you currently have/use? What resist gear do you have? Armory LINK is madatory. http://www.wowarmory.com/character-shee … orn&n=Vulc
6. Why do you want to join Paranoid? How did you hear about us? im pretty good friends with lof and i wana get geard before i go into litch king. i like to be around people that are good and serous at end game i was back in the day.. not the best but 8/8 t1 3/8 t2
7. How much gold do you have? How about consumables? not much trying to pay for a new trinket ( alchamist stone).
8. Do you understand what DKP is and how it works? Yes depending on the guild
9. Are you willing to abide by our rules, at all times, if we accept you? Yes i will
10. What do you consider YOUR role to be in the endgame? To dps as hard as i can and help the guild kill bosses. and progress as much as i can
Okay. Okay, that's pretty funny. Why? What do you mean, why do I think that's funny?
Well, okay, let me break it down just a bit. No big analysis, I mean this guy would never in a million years be considered for Sidhe Devils, call me an elitist prick all you want, that's just the way it is. But I'll go over what I think are the high points.
It is clear to me from his spelling and phrasing that he gave no thought whatsoever towards making a good impression with the people he is asking to join. The key phrase there is no thought. Do I want a thoughtless person, someone that does not even for a second remotely consider the point of view of other players, their opinions or thoughts or concerns, in my guild? Hell no. This guy is what you get if you are desperate for more bodies to fill a 25 man raid… and even then, I think 25 mans deserve much better than this. Let me change that to a 40 man. If you were desperate to fill an old-school 40 man, this was your guy. You know he's only there for the loot, but while he's there at least you're getting some DPS in the raid.
Now, I could mention his line about "wanting to get geared before WotLK comes out" for why he wants to join, but hey, I'll give him points for being honest about wanting to join a progression guild for phat lootz. That's what he wants, that's why he's applying. Give him the phat lootz, and no one gets hurt.
I also have to give him points for saying, even inadvertantly, that his computer is decadent. I know it was a typo on his part, and he meant decent… but I now want a decadent computer. Somehow, I don't think you get those at Dell.
He loses a lot of points for answering the question about gold and consumables, a question I see as being on the app form as a way to find out of a raider is willing to provide his own raid mats and consumables, by answering 'not much' and talking about the crafted alchemy trinket he is trying to save up mats for.
Let's be serious… The guy claims to have a 70 mage and plays 6 hours a night, EVERY night. He says he's broke.
I know a lot of people, through their choice of Professions, have a hard time making gold in the game. Our friends at WoWJones even have a blog because of the interest. But the guy is an Alchemist. Gee, do I know any other Alchemists at level 70? Lemme think about that one for a second….
Cassieann plays her main and several alts, on an intermittant schedule, and thanks to her effort and her Alchemy Profession she has bought her own Epic Flying Skill, Windstar's Epic Flying Skill, she made within days of getting the rep both her Alchemist Stone and the Assassin's Alchemist Stone, and even then provides ME with raid mats half the time and has, in her words, already saved up enough gold to by my fricken Priest HER Epic Flying Skill. Broke my ass. Hey, punk, if you are playing 6 hours a night five nights a week, go do some dailies and actually make some pots to put on the AH. Maybe farm primals and make some Primal Mights on your Transmute. In three days you can have your trinket. Lazy bum.
Still, we're nit picking here. From what I've pointed out alone, the app is not too bad. But the cream, the uber goodness that shines out, is this little snippet…
well i just joined celtic rage, herd about it from a friend, they stunk it up in tk 1st night i was in there.
Wait, wait, wait a minute!
So, you are applying to join a progression guild, and you are telling me you JUST joined another guild that actually took your ass into Tempest Keep, and you are taking the time in your application to bad mouth THEM instead of telling me specifically about YOU.
Epic Fail.
Now, yeah, it's a train wreck of an application. If this is your application… well, I'm sorry, but you're only 16. You WILL get older. Hopefully, you will also grow in maturity. I guarantee, this can either be a learning experience for you, or another way to feel like a victim. At this point in the reading, I am thinking, "He sounds like a typical self-entitled asshat. But the poor kid is right at that age, he might be a good kid at heart and has absolutely no idea how this comes across. I'm glad I'm not that age anymore. Damn I was stupid at that age. Wow, am I still that stupid? Naaahh… Cassie woulda killed me by now."
Oh…. but wait. It gets better. I read further down the application, to read some replies… and come to a reply made by Hickyfat, apparently the guild leader of Celtic Rage, who surprisingly enough had a little something to say about how Vulc characterized the Tempest Keep run…
Whats up guys,
Vulc recently joined Celtic Rage and has recently been removed. He did attend TK with us on our first night there and yes, we definitely did not do as well as we could have done. However, in the few raids he did make it to his DPS was less than impressive (Mages with less "stats" and gear were able to out dps him somehow). After seeing his performance, I offered up some suggestions. 1) Regem your green gems and get rid of that, dare i say, +8 resilience gem. His response – I don't want to spend money for better gems when I am going to upgrade my gear soon (not what I was looking to hear). 2) Switch specs and try one deep in fire (10/48/3) was the one I suggested. His response – I've played a mage for two years and I'm not gonna take advice from a warrior. While it's true I don't play a mage or even another class other than a warrior tank, I do read about other classes and what is most "raid viable." I don't need to play a mage to know that a resilience gem has no business in any gem slot. As a raid leader I want to make sure that all 25 people are pumping out as much tps, dps, and hps as possible and if they are not doing so, try to help. Vulc was not open to change to help the raid and acted like a pompous tithead. Hence – hickyfat had to drop the hickyboot. Peace fellas – Good luck w/ Felmyst. Any questions hit me up in game.
BOOM! Solid Win. That, right there, tells me as an officer everything I really wanted to know. Do I have to explain how many ways Hickyfat just laid to rest any thought I might have had about taking this mage into my guild? Even if it wasn't about progression, the close-mindedness alone… no, I didn't think so.
But wait! Let's not be too hasty! This might just be some self-serving character assassination by Hickyfat, right? Just because the guy says something, doesn't make it so. Screenshot or it didn't happen, right guys?
Well… let's take a look and see how Vulc responded to Hickyfats' allegations of prior conduct.
Warning: The following is NOT safe for gentle eyes that dislike profanity. I found it hilarious, however.
Vulc said;
yo kno hicky im not the a pompas fucking prick who picks ona mage whos is doing #2 dps in ur raid and is 16 go get a mothetfucking life u prick and also if ur guna fuck around with my game play ur guna have a fucking suprize waiting around the corner u prick
mmmMMMMmmm…. now that is just great, isn't it? All worry I had that I was being a little harsh in my analysis of his application are simply blown clean away.
Oh, and I have to say… I love the implication there at the end that Hickyfat is gonna find a surprise waiting for him 'just around the corner' so to speak. Wait, is Vulc going to lie in wait and ambush poor Hickyfat? Oh noooeeesssss!!!!!11!
There are 7 more pages of this, and I don't even know if I want to read any further. The drama is so perfect right now, and reading further may spoil it.
But just…. wow. WOW.
God, I love Guildwatch.
Okay, I read further… it doesn't dissappoint. I will add one new quote, from another memeber of Celtic Rage, who sound like good guys, actually. This noe really does say it all…
Oh… Couldn't resist the opportunity to throw my 2 cp's here… Yes, Vulc's unwillingness to take constructive criticism after 3 days in the guild was a concern for us and he was on the 'keep an eye on' list… But just to let anyone who's thinking of inviting this gem of a mage know…
As we entered TK for the first time his question: "Uh, what are the other mages in here wearing? I'm pretty undergeared, are they going to be able to roll on stuff before me when it would be a bigger upgrade for me?" Sent alarm bells crashing through my head.
Ultimately the clincher for his short-lived membership in Celtic Rage was the hissy fit he threw in guild chat last night because he'd "been in the guild for 3 WHOLE DAYS" and hadn't been able to raid. Which would make his second hissy fit (in 3 WHOLE DAYS, mind you) the first was when he was not invited to join us in SSC as he was not yet geared and spec'd for the instance (first night in the dungeon, our first kill on Lurker – not your level I know, but we felt good about it ).
tl;dr: We don't have green chat drama in CR. We weren't interested in him spewing his indignant, mis-informed crap whenever he didn't get his way.
As to second on the meter… *cough*bullshit*cough*
Not that Paranoid's seasoned recruiting team couldn't see his 10 spell hit for what he is…
Quote of the day:
Deloessian: I'm looking at your armory. I'm seeing a number of glaring problems, and I'm a rogue…
Deloessian: Your spell hit is at 10? What's the mage hit cap Vulc?
Vulc: My what?
Deloessian: The hit cap… Rogue hit cap is 363 with precision… What's the mage hit cap?
Vulc: Hit doesn't matter, I've got good crit.
Deloessian: …

Cocktails and Spirits with Paul Clarke: What's New (and Old) in American Whiskey
Autumn is whiskey season in Kentucky, and at the recent Whiskyfest in San Francisco, I was able to try out some of the recent releases now appearing in bars and liquor stores (typically in very small amounts).
One of the most appealing American whiskies I tasted was Wild Turkey "Tradition," a 14-year-old, 101-proof bourbon that entered the U.S. market last week in a limited run of 14,000 bottles. With the characteristic spicy tang of Wild Turkey bourbons, the Tradition bottling has a deeper, richer character that comes from its older age, as well as its aging position in the "center cut" of the distillery's warehouse. Also memorable is the latest bottling of Old Forester Birthday Bourbon, a 12-year-old, 97-proof whiskey that's pleasantly mellow with the aroma of wheat and iodine.
And of course, it wouldn't be autumn without the annual release of the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection, a series of limited edition and very much sought-after whiskies that appear each fall (and are usually snapped up by Christmas).
While longtime favorites include the George T. Stagg bourbon and Sazerac Rye, the standout bottling this year was the William Larue Weller bourbon. This wheated bourbon (bottled at a cask-strength 134 proof) has a character that's as-soft-as-a-baby's-blanket with a mellow, orchard fruit flavor that's tinged with cinnamon, nuts, and vanilla. I've always had a soft spot in my heart for Weller, and this year's bottling is my favorite of the group.
Not everything in the world of American whiskey is taking place in Kentucky. Utah-based High West Distillery has sourced ryes and bourbons from other distillers and is custom-blending surprisingly good bottlings such as Rendezvous Rye, a mixture of six and 16-year-old rye whiskies. This year, High West added to a 16-year straight rye whiskey that, with 80 percent rye in the mashbill, is aggressively spicy and dry, and a 21-year-old whiskey aged in used brandy barrels, which gives the mellow spirit a silky, fruity character.
But perhaps my favorite American whiskey at Whiskyfest was Parker's Heritage Collection "Golden Anniversary" whiskey, made to commemorate all 50 years that Heaven Hill's master distiller Parker Beam has been working in the industry. Composed of bourbons distilled during each of the past five decades, the Golden Anniversary bottling is astonishingly complex, deep and bright, with flavors ranging from a deep vanilla oakiness to a crisp citrus and summer-berry lightness. An absolutely outstanding whiskey.
Those are a few of the American whiskies that caught my attention this year. Any other brands and bottlings you're excited to see as we move toward the holiday season?

Inside iPhone 4S US mobile data: AT&T vs Sprint vs VerizonApple now sells iPhones that work on three of the top four national US mobile carriers. Here's a look at how well you can expect Apple's latest smartphones to work on each of these mobile data networks, based on real world testing of each carrier's data throughput.
Evaluating how well a mobile device works across different mobile networks is difficult. First, there's the characteristics of the phone itself, added to the technology type of the carrier, whether a GSM/UMTS network like AT&T or the CDMA EV-DO 3G mobile networks of Verizon and Sprint.
On top of that, each carrier's network strength, usability and reliability depends upon tower placements and the backhaul networks that connect them, making some spots or even regions better on one carrier than another, independent of the conditions of another nearby spot or region across the country.
We didn't test the strength of radio connectivity between phones and towers, which is reflected in the "bars" of service reported by a phone. Instead, we measured actual data throughput, providing a better indication of how well the iPhone will actually work on each carrier when you look up maps, browse the web or make Siri requests.
Evaluating carrier claims
Carriers are often very secretive about their networks, hoping to avoid disclosure of any competitive disadvantages. On the other hand, they're very open about any competitive advantages they hold. AT&T advertises the nation's fastest 3G network, while Verizon claims the best coverage and Sprint trumpets its status as the last US iPhone carrier offering an all you can eat data plan.
AppleInsider has been evaluating the three carrier's networks in a series of West Coast tests that seem to have provided fairly conclusive results on what users can expect from each network. The tests of three iPhones on each carrier were performed in parallel across urban areas of San Francisco, Los Angeles, Sacramento and Reno, Nevada, with some rural testing performed between those locations.
The tests we performed won't tell you what level of data service you can expect in any specific region across the US on each of the three carriers. Each provider has strong and weak spots related to their national build outs. Each also has technical pros and cons, divergent plans for the future of their networks, and differing policies for supporting data throughput.
However, while our tests were confined to a limited area of the US, the tests do provide pretty clear results that seem to represent the findings of other users and the reports of other mobile data tests, indicating they are representative of the carriers' own policies that have influenced how their nationwide networks are configured and operated.
On page 2 of 3: AT&T is indeed the fastest phone network, Verizon coverage is indeed more widely available.

Sen. Tim Johnson, D-S.D. (left), chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, held a press conference in his home state Tuesday afternoon to announce that he will not run for re-election when his current term ends in 2014.
A three-term senator, Johnson, 66, said in comments from his alma mater, the University of South Dakota, that he would be 68 years-old at the end of this term and that it is time for him to say good-bye. "I will not be running for re-election to the United States Senate in 2014 or any other office. I look forward to serving the remaining two years as the country is facing difficult times on many fronts and I will work every day to find a bipartisan solution to these challenges."
As the Sioux Falls, S.D., paper reported, Johnson, who took over as the Senate Banking chairman in 2011, has struggled with health issues since a 2006 brain hemorrhage that left his speech and movement impaired. As Johnson said in comments Tuesday afternoon, "you have supported me in multiple elections, and, more importantly, your patience and prayers enabled me to recover from a life-threatening brain injury."
One challenger for his Senate seat is Republican former governor Mike Rounds, the paper says. Several other Democrats and Republicans are reportedly considering running for Senate if Johnson retires, including Johnson's son, U.S. Attorney Brendan Johnson, the paper reported.
In line to be next chairman of the banking committee is Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., however Reed is reported to be stepping into a leadership role held by retiring Sen. Carl Levin's seat on the Senate Armed Services Committee.
Next in line to be at the Senate Banking Committee's helm would be Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York, followed by Bob Menendez of New Jersey, and then Sherrod Brown of Ohio.

Konerko, who homered against Pavano his next time up, said he did not believe the pitch was intentional, but he did appreciate teammate Mark Buehrle hitting Twins' first baseman Michael Cuddyer later.
"I don't need to see Mark do that to know he protects his guys," said Konerko, whose swollen upper lid still made it difficult to talk Friday. "He's the one guy over the years that not only will go out and do it, but gets it done."

From OLPC
The Give One Get One program for 2008 ended on Dec 31. Thank you to everyone who participated!
Below is information from this program (for historic documentation).
Below is the announcement of the launch of Give One, Get One for 2008, which started in mid-November and ran through the end of the December.
Weekly meetings were planned about outreach and publicity to help reach groups that weren't reached in 2007 (and may not be by the mainstream media); see G1G1 meetings for more.
- the announcement in plain text (for email distribution)
Give a Laptop, Get a Laptop, Change the World
One Laptop per Child ran its second Give 1, Get 1 ("G1G1") program from November 17, 2008 to December 31, 2008, following 2007's popular program, which supported the production of over 150,000 XOs. In 2008, the XO laptops shipped to donors through Amazon.com. Amazon.com/XO.
The laptops generally ran the the latest release of Sugar on a Linux-based Fedora Core operating system. (Certainly not dual-booting Windows and Linux, contrary to some reports.) For answers to frequently asked questions, and for other XO giving programs, see XO giving and the Give 1, Get 1 FAQ. For more about the XO see the laptop.org overview.
Media and other materials are available from our community media page and our Flickr stream. If you have been involved with a deployment, please contribute your own.
- OLPC's Flickr photostream: http://flickr.com/photos/olpc
- Contribute & share media: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Community_media
This year's Give 1, Get 1 campaign is now closed. [Simply Give] and [Give a School] are on-going programs. Amazon being the fulfillment channel for Simply Give and for Give 1, Get 1, using OLPC storefront: http://amazon.com/xo
In addition to the United States, we were pleased to include Europe in the promotion this year. For more information, see http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XO_Giving/G1G1EU
The program details were similar to those from last year's program:
- $199 to give a laptop to a child in the developing world.
- and/or
- $399 to give a laptop to a child in the developing world and get a laptop.
- £275 (approximately €322) if ordering outside the USA, via amazon.co.uk
The tagline for the campaign was "Give a Laptop. Get a Laptop. Change the World." We are focusing on sharing images and experiences from members of gen-XO, particularly from OLPC's largest deployments.
This time last year, we were uncertain how our young project would fare under the demands and needs of large deployments. Today there are hundreds of thousands of children using their XOs every day, including over a quarter of all young students in Uruguay. A few days ago this wiki was overwhelmed by a surge of interest from Uruguayan elementary schools browsing the wiki and looking for new activities to download -- almost 10,000 of them visit the site each day.
You can help spread the word. We will be making a big splash with PR and advertising to run in donated media across all media platforms: TV, Cinema, Radio, Print, and Out of Home. We want to supplement that with personal outreach over local community and social benefit groups interested in changing education and addressing the root of poverty around the world. Help us identify groups to contact; G1G1 is an opportunity for us to forge new alliances and seed new educational initiatives, at home and abroad.

Spread the word!
Join our community mailing list, email@example.com, to discuss how to get the word out about the new campaign.
Blog it, add a comment about it to every article about OLPC and the XO.
- Social site updates -- Facebook, Twitter[1], MySpace : there are OLPC accounts on many of these sites which need maintenance and regular updating. For instance some 2007-era badges and promotions need to be updated to link to the Amazon site.
- Viral marketing. Put http://www.amazon.com/xo in your e-mail signature. Mention G1G1 in blog posts. Comment on misinformed or incomplete articles online, and include the link and the date, Nov. 17.
- Sig
Give One, Get One, from Nov. 17 http://wiki.laptop.org/go/G1G1_2008 http://www.amazon.com/xo
Write about OLPC and local projects
- Blog updates -- the relaunch of the campaign is beginning in earnest, and many people will want to know in advance. We have an official OLPC blog; ask if you want an account to blog, or post links to essays to suggest for inclusion.
Create media
- Art projects -- discussions on deviant art, Flickr, photo.net and more. OLPC needs expressions of its cause and mission that do not rely on words; art is a universal language that speaks in ways that advertising can not. The design gang is helping to make great designs for web badges, swag and the OLPC sites, many of which are being revamped. We may also need material in specific sizes/formats for non-standard donated media (see below).
- Donated media -- we can provide advertising materials for any media vehicles. OLPC does not have an advertising budget, but relies on donated media. If you have a friend who works at a magazine, a TV network, or just has an ad supported blog, ask if they will run a G1G1 ad. Note leads on the talk page, or send them to aaron AT laptop.org.
- Media concepts -- Nothing is impossible. Ideas that take longer to create can be used when we launch similar programs in other parts of the world in the near future.
Join our volunteer support teams
- Tech/Learning/Volunteering Support -- If you enjoy directly helping other users, join our very active worldwide Support Gang, by emailing holt AT laptop.org (include your phone number!) or submitting your ideas to volunteer AT laptop.org.

Lee Westrum and his family have a reason to be excited about their future.
The 43-year-old superintendent of the Benson Public School system was offered the Wadena-Deer Creek superintendent's post Feb. 16. Pending an agreement between Westrum and the District 2155 school board, there is a moving day, a new home and new challenges ahead for the Westrums.
Westrum and his wife, Jennifer (Carter) Westrum, already have a history with Wadena. They were married in Wadena and have spent a great deal of time in the community.
Jennifer graduated from Wadena in 1989, and is presently a psychologist and the clinical director of counseling associates of west-central Minnesota, a department of the Swift County Hospital.
The Westrums have two daughters, Abby, a 12-year-old seventh-grader, and Allison, a 6-year-old first-grader.
Lee recalls his family was actually on their way to Wadena for an all-class reunion June 17, 2010, when a tornado destroyed the old WDC Secondary School.
"I just want to say how impressed we were by how the community responded," he said.
Lee is a native of Clearbrook, Minn., a community around 90 miles north of Wadena. He received a bachelor's degree in social studies education from Bemidji State University, and earned his educational administration degrees from St. Cloud State University.
He has been in Benson for the last 21 years and has held a number of different jobs in the Benson school system. Lee has been a social studies instructor, coach, activities director, principal and prom director. He has served as superintendent in Benson since 2007.
Lee said he is very impressed with the new middle/high school and WDC's use of technology.
"WDC has a real good reputation for being a progressive school district," he said.
Lee also said he will be renewing ties with two fellow educators, Sebeka Superintendent Dave Fjeldheim and Park Rapids Superintendent Lance Bagstad.
Fjeldheim, who has been in Sebeka nine years, was the principal for grades 7-12 in the Lakeview school district when Lee was a high school principal in Benson.
"I think he is going to be a real nice fit for the district," Fjeldheim said. "He has a lot of the values the rest of us have, including hard work and dedication."
Benson Principal Dennis Laumeyer has worked with Lee for seven years.
"He has been a very good mentor to me both professionally and socially," Laumeyer said.
Laumeyer also likes the way Lee handles his work.
"He is very dedicated to the success of students," Laumeyer said. "He treats people with respect and with dignity.
Lee's hobbies include reading, fishing and hunting.
If a contract agreement can be reached, it will begin July 1. Dr. Virginia Dahlstrom, who has served as WDC superintendent since 2008, will see her contract with the district end June 30.
Lee is optimistic about a future at WDC.
"I think a new challenge will be exciting for me," he said.

Gay Midget Dork in the Middle
Of course they had to. Of course they had to pose with SJP. SJP just won the box office. And you know how the GMD loves to grow himself onto anything and anyone mildly successful.
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes did not walk the carpet last night but tried to pimp their fraud love backstage and also loitered about, freakin' people out with their crazy eyes, giving people chills with their weird intense stares. SJP was one of the recipients. As you can see, she's trying to avoid his scientological brain freeze. Hope it worked.
Because on a night of cool, all Tom and Katie could manage was a Xenu sized dose of square. Lame. Not hip. Two total dorks.
Yes…even Katie too.
Katie Holmes can no longer dress her age. Katie Holmes can't even manage to look right in jeans!
Imagine losing the ability to properly wear a pair of jeans? And she's not even 30?
Among the many things he's taken from her, this just might hurt the most. Marrying a 'mo is one thing, but marrying a 'mo who deprives you of your Jean Mojo? I could never. Never, ever, ever.
For more GMD and Katie at MTV, click here.
PS. They say he is amazing in Tropic Thunder. That it will complete the career revival. He had to wear a fat suit and look nothing like himself to accomplish it. Hee.

Many years ago, I was audited by the IRS.
It was awful.
Letters and phone calls kept coming, telling me that I needed to produce all sorts of documents, forms, and other paperwork.
I remember standing in my garage, surrounded by file boxes full of piles of loose documents,
"That stupid paper has got to be here somewhere."
The audit itself was... unpleasant. No surprise there.
But, the clutter made it almost unbearable.
These days, things are different.
Almost without exception, any important piece of paper I receive can easily be found in the smart phone in my pocket.
And on my tablet.
And my laptop.
Oh yeah, on the web, too.
If you asked me to produce my last three tax returns, I could do it in a couple of minutes from anywhere in the world with nothing more than an Internet connection.
Likewise for my kids' baby pictures, the confirmation from the Irish hotel where I stayed a few winters ago, and the leases for my last three houses.
I've been using it for years and it's incredible. The piles of paper are gone from my life and now everything is in a virtual filing cabinet that I can quickly search anytime from just about anywhere.
I don't want this to sound like a cliché, but Evernote really did change my life.
Problem is, it doesn't come with an owner's manual...
When you open the app for the first time, there's a blank page waiting for you, and you're not sure what exactly to do.
So, I made the manual that should have come with Evernote.
It's called Evernote Essentials. And it's unlike any other software manual you've ever read (really).
If you know you want it, join over 80,000 existing customers right now by choosing the plan that works for you below.
If you're not quite sure about this Evernote thing, keep reading and get yourself on the road to an organized life in just a couple of minutes...
No Credit Card Required
Evernote Essentials is an amazing resource...
Like a genie in a bottle
Have you ever misplaced your keys?
You walk in the door from an errand and set them down in an unusual place, or maybe they fell out of your pocket unnoticed.
Either way, you've just gone from zero to annoyed, and fast.
You'd turn your house upside down looking for them and, hopefully, they'd turn up. But you probably spent way too long looking for them.
Now imagine standing at your front door and hollering "bring me my keys" at nobody in particular — and your keys magically appear in the palm of your hand.
That's Evernote with your important documents, records, memories, just about anything digital that's important to you.
Ask Evernote and, like the genie in the bottle, your wish is granted.
But you have to know how to ask.
That's just one of the tactics I'll teach you in this 200+ page guide...
Brett is an absolute master at explaining complex concepts in a way that makes them easy to understand.
Evernote is awesome except when it's not. And when you're first trying to figure it out, that's when the not-awesome part comes in. You'll find yourself saying, 'Looks nice, but how the h*** do I use this thing?' Fortunately, interwebs genius Brett Kelly has come along with a clear and simple answer. Get Evernote for free, and pick up this cheap-a** guide for the info that Evernote left out.
This book was MUCH more informative, and calming, than any of the 'less expensive' e-books I initially purchased.
An exceptional book with a lot of helpful content. A bargain.
I am 85 years old and have had some trouble with Evernote. This book helped me understand what I was doing and what I should do.
Love, love, loved this! Clear, concise, well-written, humorous, and so useful!
I have been using Evernote since 2009 and Evernote Essentials already taught me some things I didn't know. And I am not even done reading… Thanks for writing Evernote Essentials!
I loved the fact that Brett was an Evernote employee and while this is not an official company sponsored work, it absolutely helped to provide additional insight into how to make this software a much more valuable tool in all multiple areas of your life.
I cannot recommend this book enough. It's got the right mix of the practical application of using Evernote with just the right amount of how-to to make it work. All presented in a way that even I get it!
"Very well presented. An enjoyable read; very instructive."
Evernote is powerful. With Evernote Essentials, you can take Evernote's power from 'things I might do someday,' to 'things that have already improved my life and organization.'
Evernote Essentials was the first English Evernote guide ever. And, with 75,000 sales, it's still the best.
Don't waste your time with $3 books on Amazon; choose the solution that's been proven to work.
After eight years using Evernote—I started my account when they were in private beta in 2008—and tens of thousands of notes, you'll have a very hard time finding somebody who knows Evernote better than I do.
And, actually, Evernote agreed because...
Evernote hired me to write their user documentation after reading Evernote Essentials.
(And they're still pretty big fans)
All versions of Evernote Essentials come with a 30-day, money-back guarantee.
If you don't like it, I'll refund your money, no questions asked.
Simple as can be.
Brett has taught me things I didn't even know were possible - before I was using Evernote like a butter knife. Now I'm using it like the chainsaw power tool that it is.
For the discerning Evernote user who wants nothing less than the best.

There is a mirror-image quality to the Dynamo's results so far this season: a big win was followed by a narrow victory, then a narrow defeat preceded a big loss.
The team's performance levels have been more consistent than the variable scorelines imply. Houston travel to face the New England Revolution on Saturday afternoon (4 p.m. CT, CSN Houston) aiming to show that their 4-0 win over Jay Heaps's side on opening day is a more accurate reflection of the team's potential than last Saturday's 4-1 reverse at home to FC Dallas.
New England have one win, three losses and a tie so far this season. They have scored only twice—but that masks the true potential of a team replete with sharp and precise attacking midfielders and quick, pesky strikers. The Revolution reached last year's Eastern Conference playoffs and on a good day they pose a threat from both set-pieces and open play. In addition, no doubt they will be eager to avenge their heavy loss at BBVA Compass Stadium just five weeks ago.
"They're at home again, they've had a little bit of heartbreak and some bad luck run against them. So you have to step on the field thinking that things are going to go their way and you have to step on the field thinking that guys are going to play well," said Dynamo head coach Dominic Kinnear.
"We've had some good games against them and we've had some poor games against them," said goalkeeper Tally Hall.
"When we've had poor games we let them take the ball and run at us. The caliber of players that they have on their team, if they're running at us, they're going to be able to break us down. They're very good. If we can press them high, if we can apply pressure early, we take away some of their fundamental strengths and what they're going to try to do. It's a matter of us being organized defensively and once we shut them down I think it creates a good shape going forward."
Captain Brad Davis was forced off against Dallas shortly before halftime with a right ankle sprain and is listed as doubtful for Saturday on the official injury report. He was replaced by Tony Cascio, himself making a comeback from injury. The loan signing from the Colorado Rapids or Andrew Driver could deputize for Davis if necessary, while the versatile Warren Creavalle is another midfield option.
"If Brad's not available we have guys with experience who got a lot of minutes last year so we'll kind of pick off where we left off," said right back Kofi Sarkodie. "Of course Brad's a difference-maker, one of our playmakers and provides a different look for us on the pitch with his free kicks and also his service out wide, but we've got to be able to rely on guys coming off the bench. During the World Cup break it's going to be the same thing, when different guys have to come in and do a job."
Injury and suspension has left the Dynamo shorthanded in defense for the first of three successive road trips to opponents from the northeast. Center back David Horst was ejected during the second half of last week's game and is suspended. After his red card, Kinnear brought on rookie AJ Cochran for his MLS debut.
The 21-year-old central defender out of the University of Wisconsin was the 16th overall pick in this year's MLS SuperDraft and has impressed so far in training.
Kinnear told reporters on Thursday that Cochran is one option to replace Horst, along with Anthony Arena and veteran midfielder Ricardo Clark. Arena is on loan at the Pittsburgh Riverhounds of the USL Pro league but will be recalled for this weekend. He made one MLS appearance last season as a substitute for Eric Brunner against the Columbus Crew last June. Brunner is out for about the next two months after undergoing right ankle surgery on an injury he suffered in preseason.
"AJ was the only natural center back on the bench we had last week and that was the sub we made. I think he's had a pretty good week of training so he's definitely put himself in contention to be on from the first minute," said Kinnear.
For the head coach, every occasion is unique—even more so when line-ups change. But one of his key doctrines is that his players must maintain the highest levels of mental focus and physical commitment every time they step on the field.
"The attitude has to be the same. I'm sure it was a bit surprising for everybody that that [4-0] result came about in the fashion that it did. No two games really replicate themselves but you can always replicate your attitude," he said.

London's Metropolitan Police this week dropped their attempt to leverage the Official Secrets Act to force The Guardian to reveal confidential sources for stories about the phone-hacking scandal that has gripped the UK's political and media world. The Met's reversal is welcome, but its unprecedented attempt to invoke espionage laws to force a newspaper to reveal confidential sources has itself set a damaging precedent, suggesting that journalists are state enemies for obtaining sensitive information from government officials.
The Guardian reported that Scotland Yard came to its offices last week, demanding notebooks and other information from journalist Amelia Hill concerning her reports that the cell phone of Milly Dowler, a teenager brutally murdered in 2002, had been hacked on behalf of the News of the World. Police claimed The Guardian's articles about Operation Weeting, the police investigation into the phone hacking, had sprung from "gratuitous" leaks in the official inquiry.
As The Guardian reported, the demand for the newspaper's notes was formally made under the Police and Criminal Evidence Act, but police also claimed that Hill had "incited" an Operation Weeting source to break the Official Secrets Act, and that the reporter herself may have broken the espionage law. The demand was met with wide condemnation from UK media, politicians, and others. The Home Affairs Committee of the House of Commons has scheduled a private hearing today with Met officials to get an explanation.
Far from breaking state secret laws, The Guardian's reporting on the phone hacking scandal exemplifies what journalists should be doing--investigating and reporting on matters of great public interest. Protection of sources is key to this function and is recognized by international law and by the European Court of Human Rights. It is also upheld in Article 10 of the UK's own Human Rights Act. Threatening reporters with the Official Secrets Act was an attempt to circumvent those protections.
The Met may have backed down for now, but as the public inquiry led by Lord Justice Brian Leveson proceeds, it's worth remembering that the use of security laws to restrict press coverage does a disservice not only to news media but to society at large.

Monument Photo necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 211 diseños de 32 diseñadores freelance.
Monument Photography
We run a fun and successful wedding photography business out of northern Utah. We enjoy simplistic design and compositions in our photography without radical processing and trendy ideas that fade with time. Generally our work is timeless in nature and we want that to show with the logo. We absolutely love what we do and offer a level of service unmatched by our competitors.
We are targeting existing and new markets. The majority of our customers enjoy modern flair within the constraints of timeless ideas and compositions. We are trying to emerge as a leader in the younger market of 16-19 year old Male and Females for senior portraiture but still appeal to older generations.
Go to our website to see what we are trying to achieve. http://www.monumentphoto.com
We want the logo to say we are a high end, service based studio.
We would like one element of the logo to be usable for our prints such as a signature stamp on the bottom corner of each of our prints but not the entire logo. This is so there is brand continuity between the website, business cards and final prints. Maybe our company initials or other ways to do this.
We like earth tones generally but am open to ideas as long as they match our site well.
For our audience we do not want lace, flowery, or cartoon logos.
We like aspect ratios that are more rectangular and not as square because we think they may look better on the website but play around with it.
We are looking for all vector artwork as a file that we can use in a variety of manners. Illustrator files are fine as .eps or .ai No PSDs.
Monument Photography's name started out because we loved Monument Valley Utah, so don't think of Monument as a statue. We are open to any ideas but don't feel like you need to include any element of "monuments" in the design it is simply not needed.
Be free to experiment and think outside the box, we are all about fun in this industry!

text: Ridley Scott confirmed with the Wall Street Journal Blog Speakeasy that he will indeed be returning to the scene of one of his most beloved sci-fi films, Blade Runner. I'm not a huge fan of the film but I can certainly appreciate what it meant to a generation of sci-fi fans as well as the huge impact it has had on so many films. The challenge now is whether they can recapture that magic and live up to the hype and scrutiny that will surely come.

29 October, 2009
1st U2 ShowI was just 16 years old at the time and a huge fan of U2. I did not get tickets until the day of the show. A local record store had a few surprise tickets left and my poor mother drove 30 miles, waited in line, bought 2 tickets and surprised me with them after school. My freind and I skipped golf practice and took off the new Charlotte Coliseum. We were running late due to the rain and only caught The Pixies last song. Those first sounds of The Edge's guitar intro to Zoo Station, I will never forget. It was raw, different, and live. The rest of the show just blew me away. Some highlights: Bono dove into the crowd during "Until the End Of the World," A guy offered Bono a dollar bill to play "Angel of Harlem" while on the B stage, and the band played it. A fan got past security and stood on the main stage next to Bono. Sensing the awkward moment, Bono jumped into the guys arms. The fool picked him up for a minute before security escorted him off the stage. After "Ultraviolet" came to a wandering stop, Bono promised the audience that they might know the endings to the songs next time around and that It would not take five years to get back. He is a man of his word because they came back that summer on the Outside Broadcast Tour. What I took most from this show was that U2 had a great sense of humor and really seemed to have fun and enjoy themselves on stage. I was shocked really because I had a totally different picture painted in my head based on old videos of the band. One final remembrance, the volume level was really high. My ears rang for a couple of hours after that show. This was the loudest rock concert I have ever attended, I may have gone deaf for a little while, but I loved it
