MIAMI – Aerolinas Argentinas Airlines flight 1304 with 240 people on board had just arrived at Miami International Airport from Buenos Aires when it clipped Air France flight #695, which was departing for Paris Thursday afternoon, airport officials said.
The planes clipped on the taxiway leading out to the runway at about 5:45 p.m.
"A big noise! And the plane shook," passenger Veronica Ramundo told WPLG-TV.
Air France was at the gate at getting hundreds of passengers on board. That's when passengers say they felt the plane shake.
Officials say an Aerolíneas Argentinas plane that had just landed somehow clipped the back of the Air France jet with its wing.
"Then the captain said that we were hit by another plane," passenger Joras Lopez said.
Air France quickly evacuated the plane at the gate. It took hours to get the 240 Aerolinas Argentinea passengers off their plane.
No one was hurt on either plane.
Both planes were grounded for an investigation.
This is the second time that two airplanes have clipped at a South Florida airport in the last two weeks.
On New Year's Eve, a Spirit Airlines jet had just landed at Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport from Atlanta when it clipped the tail of an U.S. Airways plane that was parked in a remote area away from the terminal.
No one was hurt in that incident.

SANFORD — Pie, mashed potatoes, cookies, and carved ham — these are just a few of the popular seasonal dishes people tend to pile onto their plates during the holidays. However, according to Katie Ferraro, MPH, RD, CDE, a nutrition expert for TOPS (Take of Pounds Sensibly), the season does not have to sabotage your healthy meal planning.
TOPS Club, Inc. is a national, nonprofit weight-loss support organization with a chapter in Sanford that meets every Friday morning at the Sanford Fish and Game Club on Route 4. (For more information, call 636-6809.)
Ferraro recommends using parties and family get-togethers as an opportunity to try out new, healthy recipes and incorporate several of the following tips into upcoming celebrations.
"Special holiday recipes prepared healthier with simple substitutions can add nutrition and won't break the calorie bank," she said.
Here are some tips:
■ Mash cauliflower instead of potatoes.
One cup of mashed potatoes made with skim milk and no butter has 150 calories, while one cup of mashed cauliflower made with skim milk and no butter has one third of the calories, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). The taste of the two are nearly identical. For the pickiest eaters, mix half mashed cauliflower, half mashed potato. "Add fresh herbs in place of salt for zesty flavor," Ferraro said.
■ Use unsweetened applesauce instead of sugar, oil, or butter.
Cut calories in baked goods while providing a hint of sweetness with this substitute. According to the USDA, a cup of sugar contains 775 calories, while a cup of unsweetened applesauce contains only about 100 calories.
■ Use nutrient-rich leafy greens instead of iceberg lettuce.
For an added boost of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, consider dark, leafy vegetables like arugula, chicory, kale, mustard greens, or spinach in place of iceberg lettuce for your salad. "Generally, the deeper the color of vegetable, the better the nutrition," Ferraro said.
■ Use air-cured or other smoked meats instead of bacon.
Substitute bacon with lower-fat and higher-protein Canadian bacon, turkey bacon, or prosciutto. According to Ferraro, one slice of bacon has 45 calories, while turkey bacon contains roughly half that amount. These meats are best enjoyed in limited quantities, though, as they can still contain significant amounts of sodium.
■ Put finely-chopped prunes instead of butter in dark breads.
Swap finely-chopped prunes or baby food prunes for oil, butter, or margarine in quick breads or other dark baked goods, like brownies. Cut calories and fat in half without compromising on sweetness or moisture.
■ Steam in canned broth instead of sautéing in oil.
For a tasty, low-calorie and fat-free alternative to oil sautéing, Ferraro recommends steaming meats and vegetables in a half cup of reduced-sodium canned chicken or beef broth. Steaming vegetables in broth helps retain their nutrients and enhances flavor, as well.
■ Use fresh fruit instead of fruit canned in heavy syrup.
Avoid processed foods, such as fruit canned in heavy syrup, and opt for fresh fruit or fruit canned in its own juice or in water. Heavy syrup typically contains water, sugar, and corn syrup, with little nutritional value and lots of additional calories. If your budget is tight, purchase canned produce and then drain and rinse the fruit.
■ Go with cacao nibs instead of chocolate chips.
Cacao nibs, minimally-processed bits of cocoa beans, are semi-sweet and rich in antioxidants and essential minerals. Their crunchy texture and intense taste are a unique way to add a boost of flavor to holiday treats.

WASHINGTON — A Capitol Hill staffer born and raised in the Lehigh Valley is suddenly $100,000 richer.
Chris Jacobs, without telling anyone he was to be a contestant, went on 'Who Wants to Be A Millionaire' and walked away with a hefty prize. Not the big prize, but definitely a nice chunk of change.
His episode aired at the end of last week.
Jacobs, 33, of Orefield, where his mother still lives, and a 1997 graduate of Central Catholic High School, made it to the $250,000 question, but was stumped on what a "turkey" is called in Turkey. (The answer: Hindi.)
Jacobs, a policy analyst in the Senate, most recently worked for conservative U.S. Jim DeMint (who resigned this year to head up a conservative think tank) as a senior policy analyst and author of a blog on health care policy. When he was hired in April 2012, DeMint called him, "one of Congress' most knowledgeable experts on health care."
Jacobs interned for Pat Toomey more than a decade ago while a college student at American University when Toomey was a U.S. congressman representing the Lehigh Valley. Jacobs said he received a hand-written congratulations from Toomey, now a U.S. senator, on his game show performance.
The Lehigh Valley native won the $100,000 for knowing the median age of the U.S. population: 37 years old. If Jacobs had taken a gamble on the turkey question and lost, his winnings would have dropped to $25,000.
He's not sure exactly what he will do with the extra cash, but travel is high on his list.

Perform some cleanups on the value of $VARNAME (interpreted as a path):
- empty paths are changed to '.' - trailing slashes are removed - repeated slashes are squeezed except a leading doubled slash '//' (which might indicate a networked disk on some OS).
REFERENCE_STRING is used to turn '/' into '\' and vice-versa: if REFERENCE_STRING contains some backslashes, all slashes and backslashes are turned into backslashes, otherwise they are all turned into slashes.
This makes processing of DOS filenames quite easier, because you can turn a filename to the Unix notation, make your processing, and turn it back to original notation.
filename='A:\FOO\\BAR\' old_filename="$filename" # Switch to the unix notation AX_NORMALIZE_PATH([filename], ["/"]) # now we have $filename = 'A:/FOO/BAR' and we can process it as if # it was a Unix path. For instance let's say that you want # to append '/subpath': filename="$filename/subpath" # finally switch back to the original notation AX_NORMALIZE_PATH([filename], ["$old_filename"]) # now $filename equals to 'A:\FOO\BAR\subpath'
One good reason to make all path processing with the unix convention is that backslashes have a special meaning in many cases. For instance
expr 'A:\FOO' : 'A:\Foo'
will return 0 because the second argument is a regex in which backslashes have to be backslashed. In other words, to have the two strings to match you should write this instead:
expr 'A:\Foo' : 'A:\\Foo'
Such behavior makes DOS filenames extremely unpleasant to work with. So temporary turn your paths to the Unix notation, and revert them to the original notation after the processing. See the macro AX_COMPUTE_RELATIVE_PATHS for a concrete example of this.
REFERENCE_STRING defaults to $VARIABLE, this means that slashes will be converted to backslashes if $VARIABLE already contains some backslashes (see $thirddir below).
firstdir='/usr/local//share' seconddir='C:\Program Files\\' thirddir='C:\home/usr/' AX_NORMALIZE_PATH([firstdir]) AX_NORMALIZE_PATH([seconddir]) AX_NORMALIZE_PATH([thirddir]) # $firstdir = '/usr/local/share' # $seconddir = 'C:\Program Files' # $thirddir = 'C:\home\usr'

Newtown victim's daughter questions New Hampshire senator on gun vote
WARREN, N.H. -- A woman whose mother was killed in last year's school shooting in Newtown, Conn., confronted Sen. Kelly Ayotte Tuesday during the senator's first public appearance in New Hampshire since voting against gun control legislation.
About 150 people attended the town hall meeting, where Ayotte defended her vote against a bill that would have required criminal and mental health background checks for people buying guns online or at gun shows.
After the vote two weeks ago, the New Hampshire Republican, a former prosecutor, expressed concern that expanded background checks could harm the rights of gun owners.
"I'm just wondering why the burden of my mother being gunned down in the halls of her elementary school isn't as important," WMUR-TV reported Erica Lafferty asking.
Lafferty's mother, Dawn Hochsprung, was the principal of Sandy Hook Elementary School, where 20 pupils and six educators were slain in December. She died after lunging at the gunman to try to stop him from firing.
Ayotte said she was sorry for what Lafferty has been through.
"And I think that ultimately when we look at what happened in Sandy Hook we should have a fuller discussion to make sure that doesn't happen again," she said.
Ayotte said she hoped to find some common ground but that she didn't think the enhanced background checks that she voted against would have changed the outcome in the Newtown shootings.
"Mental health is the one area that I hope we can agree on going forward to work on because that seems to be the overriding issue on the list and that is why I have been trying to work across the aisle on that issue," she said.
Local and out-of-state groups who opposed Ayotte's vote held up signs that read "Shame on You." Ayotte supporters countered with signs reading "I support Kelly."

Researching spitwad technology.
Ever since I first built a treehouse and stocked it full of water balloons, I
have wanted to conquer the Earth. I figured that with a carefully timed assault,
I could drive the Zimmerman kid down the street out of his treehouse and put my
friend Todd up there, well armed with more water balloons. Thus, treehouse by
treehouse, I could take over a world full of wet people and crush them under my
iron fist.
it's no wonder I like Rise of Nations, the latest game in global domination.
This is the first game from developer Big Huge Games, a company founded by Brian
Reynolds of Civilization II and Alpha Centauri
fame. However, unlike those classics, this is more of a classic real-time strategy
game (RTS) with just a pinch of world building flair thrown in.
In its fundamental gameplay, Rise of Nations plays a lot like the other
Microsoft RTS stronghold, the Age of Empires
series. To build your cities/bases/treehouses you'll need farms for food, markets
to get the economy flowing, towers for defense, lumber camps for wood, mines
for metal, not to mention granaries, smelters, churches and schools. And of
course you'll need a barracks, stables and factories to create your water balloon
warriors to go soak you enemies.
While Age of InsertWordHere now includes so many ages, both real
and imaginary, that they must be running out of time periods, Rise of Nations
neatly sidesteps that issue by simply having all of them. From the dawn of civilization,
enforced by wooden spears, to the latest in stealth technology and nuclear weapons,
Rise of Nations is a tour through history. All of it.
This essentially boils down to upgrades. With enough food and wealth and resources, you can bring your nation from the Enlightenment Age into the Industrial Age and turn that stable into an auto manufacturing plant. I'm not going to sit down and count, but there are a lot of upgrades.
The graphics are pretty good, although oddly most things in the game are not
3D, bucking the current craze that drives Nvidia profits ever higher. However,
for sprites, they are quite good; the little men, horses and machines all animate
well and have various different sized models for zooming in and out of the map.
There are unique structures and units for each of the eighteen nations
represented in the game. I really only missed the 3D effect with the larger,
more modern units like battleships and aircraft carriers.
sound is right on the money, with battle screams, guns and explosions sounding
as chaotic as they look. The music is orchestral-themed and ranges from very
dramatic to quite peaceful, which is a bit odd during a large war, and belies
the sim game origins of the developers.
But where Rise of Nations really sets itself apart from the pack is
with two innovations: territorial control and a big Risk-like macro game.
In other RTS games, you build a base or two and try and overwhelm your enemy
with little concern about location, other than perhaps control of a rare resource.
But in Rise of Nations, it's all about map control. All your cities and
castles/forts/bunkers radiate a sphere of influence that connects to others
in your territory, and which actually defines your territory.
This is important in three major ways. First is that you can only build on your territory (and the enemy in his). Second, your tax revenue is largely based on how much of the map you control. And third, unsupplied enemy units and buildings in your territory will take constant "attrition damage."
This makes the founding and control of cities strategically placed across the map of key importance, especially because cities, once founded, can never be destroyed, only captured. Capture an enemy city and add its sphere of influence to yours and you can visually see the boundaries change between you and you enemy. Other upgrades like religious influence can increase your spheres as well, pushing that border even further. Of course, you have to be careful because your enemy can push back.
I love this feature because it really makes the game more strategic and makes it feel more like a war from the history books, taking key locations and fighting for land a yard at a time, rather than just being about who can out-produce the other guy.
second new feature is the global game, which is only available in Campaign mode.
It very closely resembles the board game Risk. You choose your starting nation
(out of about 12) and try to carve out an empire. Meanwhile, the available technology
(and your starting technology) will slowly grow, turn by turn.
While some other games have also had global strategic maps like Emperor:
Battle for Dune and Warlords Battlecry
II, Rise of Nations is a more fully-fleshed strategic game where
adjacent armies can lend support, areas can be fortified, battle cards can be
won and played and control of some territories will give you rare resources
or man-made wonders to aid your nation. Then, once you commit to attack or defend
a territory in question, you get to fight it out in the RTS part of the game.
Add a useful diplomatic system to both the micro and the macro game, and you've
really got a great civilization flavored single player game.
But I didn't enjoy the multiplayer game or the Quick Battle games anywhere
near as much. Since every age in history is available to you on a single map,
you might only spend 10 minutes being medieval, which is a real shame.
I must also mention that the game has crashed on me several times, spitting me out to the desktop. This will almost certainly be fixed in an upcoming patch, but I've got to take some points off since they should have fixed that before launching the game.
However, the fantastic single player Campaign of Rise of Nations has
definitely rekindled my interest in global conquest, and I recommend it highly
to any of you with a streak of imperialism. Now, I may not be the leader of
a nation, and my old treehouse was torn down years ago, but maybe if had had
some kind of super-weapon…an intercontinental
ballistic water balloon, perhaps, or sharks
with lasers on their heads…

I'm thinking of using these amps for my audio zones but had a few questions. Do they have RS-232 ports to control them? If not how to you control the volume of each amp? If you daisy chain them are you able to switch from synchronized audio to independent audio in each room.

|Drug: CF101
|Phase 3
Patients will be randomized to receive either CF101 0.1 mg, CF101 1.0 mg, or matching placebo, given orally twice daily (BID) for 24 weeks. A Screening Period of up to 4 weeks that includes a 2-week run-in period will precede a 24-week treatment period, followed by a 2-week follow-up period.
At a Screening Visit, patients will undergo complete medical and ophthalmologic history, medication history, physical examination (including height, weight, sitting blood pressure, pulse rate and temperature), ophthalmic examination, and clinical laboratory tests. Disease activity will be assessed using fluorescein staining, Schirmer test with and without anesthesia, Ocular Surface Disease Index©, and tear break-up time.
Eligible patients will begin a 2-week run-in period during the 4-week screening period, during which time they will be instructed to discontinue use of all topical ophthalmic medications except for REFRESH TEARS® Lubricant Eye Drops. At the Baseline Visit, patients who successfully complete the 2-week run-in period and re-qualify for entry will be randomized to their assigned medication (CF101 0.1 mg, CF101 1.0 mg, or matching placebo) to be taken orally twice daily BID for 24 weeks. Patients will return for assessments and a new supply of study medication at Weeks 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, and 20; at Week 24 for a final on-treatment assessment; and at Week 26 for the 2-week off-treatment follow-up visit.

- Efficacy by Proportion of Subjects Who Achieved Complete Clearing of Corneal Staining (i.e., Total Corneal FS Score = 0) at Week 24 [ Time Frame: 24 weeks ]Complete clearing of corneal staining by fluorescein staining (FS). The primary efficacy analysis was performed for 1eye (target eye), defined as the eye with the larger corneal FS value at Baseline. If both eyes had the same corneal FS value at baseline, the target eye was considered the eye with the larger central corneal staining value at Baseline. Corneal FS defined as a corneal punctate fluorescein staining score of ≥4 in either eye by the National Eye Institute evaluation scale summed over 5 areas each with a 0-3 scoring scale
- Nature and Frequency of Adverse Events [ Time Frame: 24 weeks ]The primary efficacy comparison with respect to the rates of complete clearing of corneal staining at Week 24 was performed using a 2-sided test at level 0.025 to adjust for the comparison of 2 doses of CF101 to placebo. All between-treatment comparisons with respect to all secondary efficacy endpoints were performed using 2-sided tests at level 0.025. Between-treatment comparisons with respect to ancillary efficacy endpoints were performed using 2-sided tests at level 0.05. The primary comparison, as well as the comparisons with respect to the proportion of subjects with complete central corneal clearing (i.e., central corneal FS score=0) in the target eye and the proportion of subjects with ST ≥10 mm with or without anesthesia in either eye, was performed using the Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel test, stratified by duration of symptoms at Baseline (≤5 years or>5 years) and disease severity at Baseline (ST1-3or4-6 mm/5 minutes without anesthesia).

Associated Press
NEW YORK -- NFL ticket prices climbed 3.9 percent to an average of $74.99 for the 2009 season.
According to Team Marketing Report's survey released Wednesday, 21 teams either kept prices the same or lowered them. The main reason for the percentage increase was the new Dallas Cowboys' stadium that cost $1.2 billion to build.
The average ticket to a Cowboys game costs $159.65, a record for the Fan Cost Index survey, which dates to 1991. The New England Patriots previously had the priciest ticket in pro sports and that cost remained the same at $117.84.
But the Patriots still have the highest-priced premium ticket average at $566.67.
Not every Cowboys ticket is so pricey. The team offers season tickets as low as $59 per game -- the same price as the cheapest Cincinnati Bengals season ticket -- and they sold out quickly. The Cowboys also offer a $29 "party pass," a standing-room ticket.
Eighteen teams maintained ticket prices, and the Lions, who were 0-16 in 2008, dropped prices 1 percent. The Dolphins' average went down .8 percent.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has said recently that local blackouts of games will be an issue this season, citing the weak economy as a major reason.
The Fan Cost Index takes a representative look at what a family of four could expect to spend at a football game this year. It takes into account the prices of four average-price general tickets, two small draft beers, four small soft drinks, four regular-size hot dogs, parking for one car, two game programs and two least-expensive, adult-size adjustable caps. Season ticket prices are used, and premium (or club) seats are placed into their own category.
The Cowboys' FCI is $758.58, far outpacing the Patriots' $597.25 and the Chicago Bears' $501.33.
Average FCI for the league is $412.64, a 4.1 increase from last season. But only 10 teams are above the average.

Journal Article
Transformational and Transactional Leadership Predictors of the 'Stimulant' Determinants to Creativity in Organisational Work Environments pp23-34
© Apr 2005 Volume 2 Issue 2, Editor: Charles Despres, pp1 - 44
Look inside Download PDF (free)
This paper examines the relationship between the leadership dimensions associated with Bass's (1985) model, and the 'stimulant' and 'obstacle' determinants of the work environment for creativity. There are three major findings in this research. First, the relationship between transformational and transactional leadership and the 'stimulant' determinants of the work environment for creativity is significant and positive. Second, the 'obstacle' determinants of the work environment for creativity are negatively related with both transactional and transformational leadership. Finally, transformational leadership is more strongly correlated than transactional leadership with the 'stimulant' determinants of the work environment for creativity. Thus, transformational leadership is an increasingly important aspect in today's organisations in creating a corporate culture and the work environment that stimulates employees' creativity and innovation.
Keywords: creative work environment, innovation, knowledge management, organisational creativity, transformational and transactional leadership

|Tracing Northwestern University's Growth and Development
Way back in 1932, an enterprising group of educators composed of Angel Albano, Cresencio Barangan, Maximo Caday, Manuela Romero, Rufina Mariano and Nicolas Nicolas pooled their hard-earned savings to put up and incorporate the first private non-sectarian educational institution in Ilocos Norte known as the Northwestern Academy.
The operation of the school was interrupted in 1945-1948 with the outbreak of World War II. Upon resumption, a 12 room building, the first it can call its own was constructed to accommodate the influx of students. In 1949, the academy became Northwestern College with Apolinario Aquino as President. Opening of new courses followed namely Associate in Surveying, Bachelor of Laws, BS Commerce, Technical Engineering, Industrial Education, Master of Arts in Education, BS Civil, Mechanical and Electrical Engineering.
The purchase of a nine-hectare lot and the construction of the Science and Engineering building were landmarks in the institutions growth and progress. With the acquisition of the lot, the dream of the incorporators for the institution to becomea university began to take shape. The College continued to offer more programs. The course leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Criminology was opened in 1969, followed by the BS in Nursing Program and two-year course in Police Science Technology in 1973. in 1982, fifty years after its founding, Ben A. Nicolas became President of the College and Chairman of the Board of Directors taking over the reins from his father, Nicolas Nicolas who held the distinction of chairman of the board for fifty years. A major breakthrough along with the reforms instituted was the opening of the Computer Center , the first of its kind north of Metro Manila.
Recognizing the need of going through voluntary accreditation as a means of attaining quality education, management applied for accreditation of some of its programs. In a short span of time, five of its programs were accredited, namely: Arts and Sciences, Commerce, Education, Engineering and Criminology.
New course designed to meet the demands of the time were offered in 1990, namely: BS in Accountancy, BS Computer Science, Two-Year Computer Secretarial, One-Year Craftsman (Civil), Practical Electricity, One-Year Computer Technician, BSE major in Library Science.
In 1991, a permit to operate a program leading to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) major in Development Education was issued. Permits to operate a 2-year course in General Radio Communication Operator and Midwifery were also granted the same year followed by the opening of Doctor of Education; Master of Arts in Nursing; Master of Arts in Public Administration; Master in Business Administration; BS in Chemical Engineering; BS in Geodetic Engineering; BS in Marine Engineering; BS in Marine Transportation; BS in Architecture; BS in Mathematics; BS in Industrial Technology; BS in Commerce major in Entrepreneurship; Management Accounting; Banking and Finance; BS in Secretarial Administration; Bachelor of Arts major in Mass Communication; BS in Hotel and Restaurant Management; BS Tourism; BS in Physical Therapy; and Nursery and Kindergarten.
On November 3, 1992 , Northwestern University was granted university status. Jose G. Castro was the first University President.
Reforms continued to be instituted and academic programs were strengthened to prepare the student for global competitiveness in the third millennium. More programs were granted accreditation status. During this time, Ben A. Nicolas resumed the position of President.
Research and Community Extension became the priority thrusts in SY 1998-1999. The University Center for Research was put up.
In 2002, government recognition to offer BS in Medical Technology was issued. In 2003, BS in Industrial Engineering and MS Management Engineering programs were given government recognition. A year after, permit to operate programs leading to the degree in BS Radiologic Technology and BS Environmental Studies were granted.
At the threshold of the 21 st century NWU applied and subjected itself to an international auditing agency, the Anglo-Japanese American (AJA) Registrars Inc. Having met the stringent requirements, NWU holds the distinction of being the first educational institution in the province to be granted International Standard Organization) ISO-9001/1994 certificate and later granted ISO 9001-2000 certificate.
A major achievement of great significance was the grant of Deregulated Status to the university by the Commission on Higher Education in 2003. It was also in the same year that it forged an international sisterhood relationship with Sangmyung University, Korea.
In 2004, a 35,000 sq. meter lot in Payas, San Nicolas, Ilocos Norte and a 14,633 sq. meter lot in Nalbo, Laoag City were acquired that will serve as the future site of the Research and Community Extension Center. A Worship Center and the Alumni House were also constructed in the same year which are indications of Northwestern University s unrelenting efforts in expanding and strengthening its services.
From humble beginnings, Northwestern University has today emerged as a leading and progressive institution of learning in Laoag City and Ilocos Norte. It is committed to provide a learning environment geared towards excellence and thus prepare students to be world-class citizens.

Chapter 2: The First Campaign
In which the Carrotmob idea is developed and tested for the first time.
Once I had come up with the seed of the Carrotmob idea in spring 2003, it took five years to really develop. At first the idea was half-baked. Just an vague impression of something that needed to exist. Later that year I was on a road trip and I came up with the name. Then every six months or so I would be in the shower and suddenly think of some twist: "Hey this Facebook thing was just invented…I wonder if that would be a good way to get people together…hmmm." In 2005 I sketched the logo. Meanwhile, I worked in Lake Tahoe, worked at Google, and directed a documentary film. I would say that the idea developed gradually, much like Steven Johnson's description:
In late 2006 I had been working for The Go Game for about a year, and as much fun as that job was, I decided to get serious about Carrotmob. My main hesitations were two things:
- I knew nothing about business, so it seemed likely that my intuition about this was probably wrong.
- The Carrotmob idea was so simple and obvious that I assumed someone must have tried it before. Obviously there must be some flaw to the idea or else it already would have taken off.
So I started by collecting lots of books so I could learn. I read about foreign topics like corporate reputation, cause marketing, the market for socially responsible products, and also brushed up on the history of boycotts, and the history of how corporations and activists have interacted in the past, and so on.
Throughout all of 2007 I worked a grueling schedule for The Go Game, but just about every week I would set aside a plane flight to write. Nights and weekends I would write 20 page explorations of how it might work, why it would work, and then I would scrap everything and rewrite. I went to lots of patient friends for their feedback. I started building an advisory board of people with insights into certain worlds. Plenty of people thought it was ridiculous, fanciful, weird, doomed to failure, etc. But others saw the same thing I saw. I honed it.
At the end of 2007, The Go Game generously allowed me to switch to part-time so I would have time to put together the first campaign. In February 2008 I hit the streets to go talk to businesses. After getting everything lined up, I sent out an email, asking people to come. There was also a Facebook event and some flyers, but really it was just a simple email. Turns out this is something that people want to do:
Many thanks to everyone who made that first event possible: My parents, 1865, Anjali J, Blue Turtle Seduction, Eleanor M, Eli G, Finn K, Heidi B, Heidi Q, Joe K, Jonathan M, Karen W, Lauren C, Lisa G, Sgt. Marta M, Matt E, Matt T, Mei L, Melissa L, Mike J, Nina, Noor D, Ryan P, Seth W, Sydney W, Terry F, and Tyler M. And others, I'm sure. I edited the video, uploaded it, saw a huge response, and knew I had a new career path in front of me.

Siteimprove's Senior Product Specialist Steve Hennigs has been appointed as the Legal Marketing Association (LMA) MN chapter's Membership Committee Chairperson.
"I'm thrilled to assume a more integral role in promoting the LMA MN Chapter as the premier legal marketing organization in the Twin Cities area," said Hennigs. "The Legal Marketing Association has been good to me over the years, and this role allows me to give back to the legal community."

"Implementing a CRM will allow the Minnesota Chapter of the Legal Marketing Association's leadership to provide better value for our members," Hennigs said. "Timely, consistent information is key to further developing the legal marketing industry, and this system will facilitate that."
Hennigs is no stranger to the LMA MN Chapter, having served as a member of the LMA MN Communications Committee last year and a member since 2010.
"My longstanding relationship with the Legal Marketing Association provides me with a deep understanding of the issues and concerns of modern law firm marketing," said Hennigs. "The new year brings a sharpened focus on addressing those needs, and equipping our members with the tools and relationships necessary to excel in an ever changing marketplace."

Wolfenstein: The New Order Trailer: Nowhere to Run
B.J. Blazkowicz leads a bloody fight of an inglorious kind against the Third Reich in this newest trailer for Wolfenstein: The New Order.
Imagine the 1960s if the Nazi's ended up winning World War II and went on to enslave and ravage everyone that was left -- that's pretty much the premise of Wolfenstein: The New Order. Fortunately, B.J. Blazkowicz has returned yet again to lead a ragtag group of freedom fighters against Colonel Deathshead's Nazi regime. The New Order represents the newest incarnation of the famous 1992 hit title, Wolfenstein 3D, which helped usher in the first-person shooter genre.
Be ready to end this alternate Third Reich when Wolfenstein: The New Order arrives on May 20 for PC, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4. As a bonus, anyone who pre-orders The New Order will gain access to the DOOM beta. That's right, these two, classic first-person shooters go hand-in-hand, so it's only right that Wolfenstein would help open the door for the return of our favorite demonic shooter.

Domestic Violence Litigation Clinic
The Domestic Violence Field placement is the product of a partnership between New York Law School and the New York Legal Assistance Group (NYLAG). The Clinic, taught by Adjunct Professors Kim Susser and Lisa Rivera, provides students with an exciting, well-supervised, hands-on clinical experience. Clinic students, working in pairs, represent clients in family offense and visitation matters in the Queens and Manhattan family courts. Students have the opportunity to handle cases from inception to final disposition, including conducting client interviews, seeking orders of protection, negotiating settlements, making all court appearances, and, where indicated, taking the case to trial.
Clinic students enroll in the domestic violence placement and in a 2-credit seminar component which meets at the NYLAG office in mid-town. The seminar provides clinic students with substantive knowledge in aspects of family, matrimonial, immigration, and criminal law relevant to the practice portion of the course. In addition, students will be introduced to the integration of law and psychology specific to intimate violence and participate in skills classes in interviewing, safety planning, case preparation, evidence gathering, legal writing, trial advocacy and negotiation skills. This two-semester course maximizes each student's opportunity to fully service each client while maintaining continuous client representation on sensitive legal matters.

My 29-Hour BirthdayPermanent link All Posts
Even though it seems like it was only a year ago, I'm about to have another birthday.
But this is no ordinary birthday. No, no, no. Not only is this the first birthday I'm going to celebrate without all of my baby teeth (I misplaced them on the bus), but it's also the fifth anniversary of my 24th birthday. So yeah, I'm going to be 29. I hope it will be a birthday to remember since I can't remember the last 28.
But fear not my generous Oy! enthusiasts, for I have a surefire plane to make sure this birthday is one for the books! That book being "The Book of Things Adam Kind of Makes Up to Make His Life More Awesome: Part 1." Journey with me.
I've never been big on birthdays. I'm usually normal size. But birthdays don't have the same profound impact on me as I've seen them have on others. I tend to care more for unique celebratory milestones, like when I celebrated turning 10,000 days old, or when I take a moment to enjoy some of the small things life throws my way. But this year, I'm quite looking forward to my birthday because it will be -- in my twisted logic -- the longest birthday I've ever had to perfectly accommodate the age that I will become.
You ready for this? Read on. Or read the title of the article. That's a dead giveaway. But then read on.
You see, I am fortunate enough to be going on a vacation this year to the most important state in the union, Hawaii, which is important because it helps make our flag look balanced. I mean, a 49 star flag -- that would be outrageous, egregious, and preposterous.
When I am in the Aloha State, a phrase which here means, "a quiet laugh," (Get it? A-low-ha. Heh heh … I'll see myself out) I will be celebrating my 29th birthday. I'll be doing this on May 12, because that's when my birthday is. I know because I was there.
But here's the thing, when in Hawaii the time zone difference from Chicago is 5 hours. So that means when it is 7 p.m. on May 11, Hawaii time, it will be 12 a.m. on May 12 Chicago time. So in a way, that is when my birthday is technically going to be starting. However, given that I am on Hawaii time, I fully intend to still consider the full day of May 12 -- all 24 hours of it -- as my birthday on top of the aforementioned additional time.
Do you see it? If you see it, that's great. You're amazing. You're basically mishpacha (family). If you don't, let me do some math for you so you can become mishpacha.
Let's break it down. My actual birthday is 24 hours long, but to everyone I know in Chicago, it will be starting five hours earlier since I will be in Hawaii. Mostly based on the fact that I know my Dad will be wishing me a happy birthday right at midnight Chicago time, it is safe to say that we can add five hours of celebratory shenaniganery to my normally 24-hour birthday.
So, 5 hours + 24 hours = 29 hours. And it's my 29th birthday.
I couldn't make this up. I couldn't have planned it. But if this was going to happen to anyone, it was going to happen be me. This blows the idea of a Golden Birthday (when I turned 12 on May 12) out of the water. Or my reverse birthday every year (again, given I was born on May 12, my reverse birthday is December 5). It's like some amazing, unbelievable, coincidence! (That's a previously written blog that came out last year -- on my birthday! It just keeps going!)
But when I had the realization that on my 29th birthday I would be having a 29-hour birthday, my jaw hit the floor. It was because I had tripped. But when I got back up, I immediately had to write this Oy! blog, which you are reading right now to immortalize my incessant dorkiness with the way I view the world and the fun moments that are hidden within the everyday ones. It was short. It was sweet. It took me about 29 hours to write ... it just keeps going!

Colombian actress Sofia Vergara has been crowned the Most Desirable Woman of 2012 in a new men's survey.
The "Modern Family" star's famous curves helped her clinch the title in the AskMen.com poll to find the top 99 females who set readers' pulses racing.
Vergara, who came in third last year, beat Sports Illustrated model Kate Upton, Oscar nominee Rooney Mara and Orlando Bloom's supermodel wife Miranda Kerr to the number one spot.
Hollywood stunner Scarlett Johansson, Nicki Minaj, Emma Stone, Rihanna, model Candice Swanepoel and socialite Kim Kardashian round out the top 10.
Meanwhile, Brad Pitt's ex-wife Jennifer Aniston and current partner Angelina Jolie were notable absentees – both actresses failed to win over the AskMen.com audience and missed out on a spot on the countdown.
The newcomers to the new list include Middleton sisters Pippa and Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge. The royal bride just missed out on a top 10 spot at 11, while her stunning sibling debuts at 98.

Current Development
Architectures/PowerPC/CurrentDevelopment tracks our current development efforts.
Also see the dashboard for constantly updated stats on when the most recent pushes were, number of unsigned packages, etc.
Stable Release
Fedora 19 is the latest stable release of Fedora for Power. It was announced on July 3rd, 2013. Please see the release announcement for additional details or download it from your closest mirror.
Supported Architectures
Only 64bit machines (Power5 or newer) are supported, but we still provide 32bit packages. The last Fedora release with 32bit boot images was Fedora 17. Although it might be possible to install a 32bit F17 release and then update with the latest packages, this is not supported by the Fedora PPC developers anymore. Interested developers might also be able to create their own 32bit boot images for the latest Fedora release with pungi but this is also not supported by the Fedora PPC developers.
Fedora 18 and newer also includes several optimized packages for Power7 machines. These will be installed automatically if a Power7 processor is detected.
Previous Releases
You can find information about previous Fedora for Power releases at Architectures/PowerPC/PreviousReleases.
Build System & Resources
All official Fedora PowerPC packages are built by the koji build system at the PowerPC koji hub
Everyone with a Fedora account can do scratch builds of packages on the PowerPC koji build system. After running fedora-packager-setup from the fedora-packager rpm
ppc-koji build --scratch f17 yourpkg.src.rpm
Scratch builds can be found here, and will be removed from koji automatically after a while.
For a build to end up in the final Fedora for Power distribution, that NVR must have been built on the primary Fedora koji and then pushed as an update for that release. koji-shadow is used by Fedora for Power to track both the stable (e.g. 'f18' during f18 branched development and 'f18-updates' after GA) and updates-testing tags of each release, as well as the current rawhide tag. Please feel free to find dwa or Kick_ on the #fedora-ppc IRC channel if you have questions about the koji-shadow process.
PPC Shell access for debugging
David Woodhouse (dwmw2), Josh Boyer (jwb) or Karsten Hopp (Kick_) may provide you access to a PPC box for build debugging purposes. Just send them an e-mail with an request and a public SSH key.

Last week, we introduced a new Flash Player feature that includes a new Microsoft Office click-to-play capability that determines whether Flash Player is being launched within Microsoft Office and automatically checks the version of Office. Launching Flash Player 11.6 from within a version of Office older than Office 2010 will prompt the end-user before executing the Flash content, ensuring potentially malicious content does not immediately execute and impact the end-user. This feature adds another layer of defense against spearphishing attacks by allowing the end-user an opportunity to realize that they have opened a potentially malicious document and close it before the exploit executes.
Click-to-Play for Office should make this attack vector less attractive for attackers. Please update your environments to Flash Player 11.6 as soon as possible.

Schoolchildren in Windham, N.H., will no longer be allowed to play dodgeball because of the Sandy Hook tragedy, a New Hampshire school board has decreed.
"When I saw the names of some of these (dodgeball) games, unfortunately guys, we live in a world where 20 babies were slaughtered, Windham School Board member Stephanie Wimmer said. "We need to take the violence out of our schools and not teach it."
The board voted 4-1 to ban "human target games" for kindergarten through 12th grade at all schools. It cited a National Association for Sport and Physical Education study that called dodgeball inappropriate because "weaker" children are targeted more often and "being hit by a hard-thrown ball does not help kids develop confidence."
The lone board dissenter Dennis Senibaldi, said, "It was offensive to even put a tragedy like Sandy Hook in the same realm as dodgeball. They're not even in the same universe. They are billions of miles apart. They are not even comparable."
For now, background checks are not required for purchasing a dodgeball in New Hampshire. "Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story" can still be rented from Netflix without a waiting period.
Meanwhile, despite its bad rep, dodgeball is still managing to proliferate in the other 49 states.
The town of Bellevue, Neb., for example, hosted a fundraiser dodgeball tournament in January.
The beneficiary of the event? The Sandy Hook School Support Fund.

UN rejects damage claim for Haiti cholera victims
UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The United Nations rejected a claim for damages on behalf of more than 5,000 Haitian cholera victims and their families on Thursday, citing diplomatic immunity.
The claim was filed in November 2011 by the Institute for Justice and Democracy in Haiti, a Boston-based human rights group that contended the U.N. and its peacekeeping force are liable for hundreds of millions of dollars for failing to adequately screen peacekeeping soldiers.
It cited studies suggesting that the disease was inadvertently brought to Haiti by a U.N. battalion from Nepal, where cholera is endemic. A local contractor failed to properly sanitize the waste of a U.N. base, and the bacteria leaked into a tributary of one of Haiti's biggest rivers, according to one study by a U.N.-appointed panel.
Cholera has sickened nearly 500,000 people and killed over 7,750 people since the outbreak began in October 2010, according to the Haitian government. About half the people in the country of 10 million have no bathroom at all and sanitation access is the worst in the Western Hemisphere.
U.N. spokesman Martin Nesirky said the United Nations informed representatives of the claimant of the U.N. rejection on Thursday.
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon also called Haitian President Michel Martelly to inform him of the decision "and to reiterate the commitment of the United Nations to the elimination of cholera in Haiti," Nesirky said.
Brian Concannon, the institute's director, said that after 15 months, the rejection was a single sentence, based on the world organization's immunity, which said the claims are "not receivable" because they concern "a review of political and policy matters."
"Our case is about the U.N. dumping contaminated sewage in Haiti's waters that has caused thousands of deaths," he said. "Under this definition, any harm that the U.N. does to anybody would be a matter of policy."
Concannon told The Associated Press: "We're disappointed because the U.N. is passing up a chance to stop cholera's killing, and to show leadership in promoting the rule of law."
Mario Joseph, lead attorney for the victims, added: "It is disgraceful that the U.N. will not even consider compensating the thousands of families who have lost their children, mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters due to the UN's wrongdoing."
Concannon, a co-counsel for the victims, said the institute's next step will be to go to a national court to seek compensation for the victims, "but we haven't decided which one yet," possibly in Haiti, the United States or Europe.
The institute was seeking a minimum of $100,000 for each bereaved family and $50,000 for each cholera survivor.
When the compensation claim was filed with the secretary-general and the claims unit for the U.N. peacekeeping mission in Haiti in 2011, Concannon said he hoped the U.N. peacekeeping force would create a lifesaving program that would provide sanitation, potable water and medical treatment. He also said he wanted a public apology for the victims.
In December, Ban announced a $2.27 billion initiative to help eradicate cholera in Haiti and the Dominican Republic, which share the island of Hispaniola, and vowed to work aggressively to secure donations for the ambitious but still mostly unfunded 10-year plan.
Nesirky said Thursday that the secretary-general "again expresses his profound sympathy for the terrible suffering caused by the cholera epidemic, and calls on all partners in Haiti and the international community to work together to ensure better health and a better future for the people of Haiti."

Broncos fans have fretted for weeks about the future of the defensive end position given the departure of Elvis Dumervil.
Robert Ayers thinks there's nothing to worry about.
A first-round pick in 2009 whose career to date has been underwhelming at best, Ayers sees himself as the guy who'll step up, now that Dumvervil has stepped off.
"He's a guy that mentored me a lot, taught me a lot about the game," Ayers told reporters on Wednesday regarding Dumervil. "I've grown as a man since I've been here and as a player in the NFL. It's tough to see him go. But it's part of the business, and I know it's a big opportunity for myself. We've talked about it. One thing he said, 'Man, do your thing. You're more than ready.' He's still encouraging. It's an unfortunate situation, but it's an opportunity that I look forward to taking advantage of."
And so Ayers wasn't surprised when he was told that he'd be the starting defensive end on the right side of the line.
"That was my mindset once I heard the news [about Dumervil]," Ayers said. "I knew it was an opportunity for me, and I'm looking forward to it. The fact that he says that doesn't make me relax or anything — it makes me hungry. Because I know there are a lot of expectations, and I have high expectations of myself. So I'm just looking forward to working hard and being ready to take advantage of it."
Ayers has 6.5 career sacks in four seasons, via 57 games and 24 starts. He earned zero starts in 2012, the first year of his career in which Ayers didn't start at least one game.
After talking over an extended period of time with defensive end Dwight Freeney, the Broncos signed former Chargers linebacker Shaun Phillips to a one-year deal with no guaranteed money and an intention to make him a defensive end in the 4-3. To keep that starting job in 2013, Ayers may have to hold off Phillips.

TO MRS. JOHNSON: On the good the dead do by dying well and by comforting us (in the Holy Spirit) afterward; and on how heaven and earth are better than we can imagine.
7 August 1956
Would you believe it!—I had recently felt anxious as to how you were getting on and in praying for you (as of course I do for all who correspond with me on religious matters) I had added a prayer that I might soon hear some good news of you. And also at once your letter . . . arrived.
All you tell me is good and very good. Your mother-in-law has done good to the whole circle by the way she died. And where she has gone I don't doubt she will do you more still. For I believe that what was true of Our Lord Himself ('It is expedient for you that I go, for then the Comforter will come to you' [John 16:7]) is true in its degree (of course, an infinitesimal degree in comparison, but still true) of all His followers. I think they do something for us by dying and shortly after they have died which they couldn't do before—and sometimes one can almost feel it happening. (You are right by the way: there is a lot to be said for dying—and being born—at home.)
No, I don't wish I knew Heaven was like the picture in my Great Divorce, because, if we knew that, we should know it was no better. The good things even of this world are far too good ever to be reached by imagination. Even the common orange, you know: no one could have imagined it before he tasted it. How much less Heaven.
From The Collected Letters of C.S. Lewis, Volume III
Compiled in Yours, Jack

This is the moment when a Croydon student proposed to his soon to be wife in a lavender field in Banstead.
Tim Hall, of Waddon, arranged the photo to be taken of the special moment as part of a competition which could see him and his fiancé Simona Montaque win free wedding photography worth £1500.
The pair, who have been together for two-and-a-half years, both studied at St Andrew's School in Croydon together and also attend New Life Church.
Mr Halls said: "We went to the lavender field in Banstead when Simona had a day off in the summer.
"Four of our best friends were hiding behind a tree taking photos and the one we are using is the moment she said yes."
The top three photos get to the final and the winner is chosen by Jay Kowalik Photography.
To vote go to facebook.com/JayKowalikPhotography and vote for the Lavender Theme photo.

After much research by our robot monkeys who scour the WWW daily looking for
dirt, gossip, lies, heretical news we are sad to say we found this video in which John Piper (one of the greatest Calvinists since John MacArthur) states fear of hell cannot save you! To this we see John must have read Love Wins by Rob Bell and has been converted back over to a (totally) depraved mind. We are not even sure if John Piper is saved anymore. As one commenter observed about this video…
"Love it! John Piper, a Calvinist who believes in Predestination preaching Conditional Atonement based on works salvation. Doesn't get any clearer than that. ???????? Well unless of course you desire logic as you desire God!"
So we bid "farwell @johnpiper".
