Gossip Girl Spoilers: Blair and Serena
by Steve Marsi at .Are Serena van der Woodsen and Blair Waldorf closer than regular friends? What is the deal with Aaron Rose? And where was Lily last night? Below are a couple of interesting Gossip Girl spoilers from E! Online's Kristin Dos Santos ...
Q: I might be reading into this a little bit, but is there anything at all going on between Blair and Serena on Gossip Girl, chemistry-wise? The two of them just seem much too touchy and flirty than best friends normally are ...
A: You aren't the only one! We've received many emails regarding this rumor, and a reliable source who works on the show says, "That's insane. No, we're not planning anything like that." Is it really so insane, though? I'm pretty sure the Gossip Girl book series ended with Serena and Blair kissing each other on the lips and murmuring, "You know you love me." Gulp. Regardless, I'm told that Serena's brother Eric is the only one with any same-sex happenings in the works for a good long while. In the meantime, Blair and Serena will be getting some action in future episodes, courtesy of the Basshole and Serena's new love interest, artist Aaron Rose (John Patrick Amedori), respectively.
Q: I cannot get enough of Gossip Girl this year. Anything new?
A: I hear Lily van der Woodsen has a deep, dark secret that is already in the works for next year, and it is going to have major repercussions. Guesses?

They are the most flirty, lovey, romantic same-sex friends I've ever seen displayed on tv. I don't think it's 'insane' at all to suppose there could be something more between them. It's a totally natural conclusion to make.
But whatever, they are super cute together even if they will always remain just (zomg!intense) bff's :)
ps. It's funny (weird) that noone's really talking about this? Since it's pretty much the main topic of the post. o.O
My god, Leighton Meester and Blake Lively are so beautiful! Srsly, I've always considered myself heterosexual, but honestly, I'd totally go gay for S&B. :-P!
We think Lily's secret is that she's Jenny's birth mom. Even if it's not that, it's definitely SOMETHING involving Rufus.
in the book there is a character named aaron and he is blairs brother/ step brother
but i think it would be better for the rufus+lily=aaron thing cause then he couldnt get together with serens and then serena and dan could get totgether again :D
serena and dan forever!!!

Archdiocese to cluster parishes
Archdiocese to cluster parishes
The first stage of a massive reorganization of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston is under way with an announcement yesterday that it will now begin grouping parishes as church clusters.
The program, called Disciples in Mission, is aimed at addressing declining attendance and giving without closing parish churches, which sparked outrage and lengthy vigils after the last reorganization in 2004. Rather than having one parish priest at each church, clusters will be overseen by a group of priests with responsibilities to each parish.

COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION Pliny the Elder was a Roman naturalist, scholar, historian, traveler, officer, and writer. Although not considered his most important work, Pliny and his contemporaries created the botanical name for hops, "lupus Salictarius", meaning wolf among scrubs." Hops at that time grew wild among willows, much like a wolf in the forest. Later the current botanical name, humulus Lupulus, was adopted. Pliny died in 79 AD while observing the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. He was immortalized by his nephew, Pliny the Younger, who continued his uncles legacy by documenting much of what he observed during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Pliny the Elder, the beer, is brewed with 40% more malt and over twice the amount of hops as compared to our already hoppy IPA.

No grounds for gardening
Tonight my GW 1 hour special, 'No grounds for gardening', goes out.
Joe Swift | 11:39 UK time, Friday, 20 March 2009
Tonight my GW 1 hour special, 'No grounds for gardening', goes out.
Joe Swift | 12:26 UK time, Monday, 16 March 2009
I'm hoping this year all the basic hard work I put in last year at the allotment is going to pay off.
Joe Swift | 17:44 UK time, Tuesday, 10 March 2009
The intent and desire to get up to the allotment this weekend was certainly there, but logistically it proved an impossibility. Sunday was out as I worked (giving a talk), but Saturday was packed full of cricket practice, drum lessons, 10 year old birthday parties, wool shopping (for knitting) and football games. On top of that there were the things the kids wanted to do! (Yeah right!- I am a taxi service, I am a taxi service). I did however get a good dose of gardening in as I took advantage of the sunshine for a few hours in between pick ups and drop offs to give the garden a late winter blitz, or is it now an early spring blitz? I quickly warmed up, got down to a tee shirt and it felt great. The winter blues I was moaning about (thanks to those for your encouraging comments) immediately disappeared. I tied in some unruly climbers including roses, Vitis coignetiae and my wall-trained garrya (which is looking particularly fab). I pruned my Salix exigua tree to keep it in shape, thinned out my black bamboo, split some grasses (late winter/early spring is far better than autumn for this task), divided and re-planted a large clump of hardy geraniums and cut back the Clerodendron bungei hard to the ground. This both keeps it at the perfect height and checks root growth to stop it taking over the world. I then tidied up and lightly dug over some of the beds. My new best friends - two sweet little robins - followed me round and chirped as they picked over the newly turned soil looking (and successfully finding) many a tasty snack. I did well too as I completely lost myself in my passion. I now feel re-energised, up for it, and this week I'm heading up to my other plot to really kick start the allotment year. Can't wait.

I fear that you may have come to my blog for a little cheering up. But this week it's a dark, gloomy place....
Well I'm away on half term with the family and by the wonderful technology we have these days I'm writing this blog sitting outside a cafe in St Emilion, south west France. Can't be bad eh!...
I've had a busy couple of days helping to launch the 2009 Yellow Book for the National Garden Scheme (NGS). I do hope you've all heard of it, but it sometimes worries me how many haven't....
Well fortunately the sun came out yesterday and I took the kids up to the allotment to start the year off in earnest....

Hmm, I'm not sure what to make of the scan. On one hand it does appear that Martian Manhunter is weak against flame, but on the other, it seems as though the sheer power of the Daemonite's attack is what causes him to pass out. I can't comment beyond that, simply because I don't know the context of the scan, nor know much about the general Daemonite's power level.
As I mentioned in my earlier comment, that one panel of Martian Manhunter in JL had him apparently fighting the entire League. Of course, as you said, we don't know how that battle turned out, so it's not an entirely accurate depiction. I will say though, that the panel's implication seems to be that J'onn is quite powerful. Batman's comment that 'it ended very badly' seems to support this assumption.
I haven't read Stormwatch, so I don't actually know much about MM's capabilities. But I recall Johns stating in an interview that he wants to use JLA to make MM one of the 'most dangerous characters in the DCU', so I'm hoping that he really does shine as a powerhouse.

Multi-hued Murrinis: Working With Colored Clay to Create Vibrant Tactile Pots
Chris Campbell has been working with the colored clay for twenty years and, as she puts it, has not "come close to trying everything I want to do…there always seems to be another question, another idea. It's just so much fun." Today Chris joins us to help spread the fun with a simple colored clay project. Even though the project only starts with two different colors of clay, by mixing different proportions of the two colors, and arranging the results in different patterns in a loaf, surprisingly intricate patterns can be developed.
Pottery Video of the Week: Layering and Carving Colored Slips on a Slab-Built Vessel
Today's video is an excerpt from Curt Benzle's forthcoming DVD Expanding your Creative Palette with Colored Clay (due out next month). Actually, it is a technique that we really really liked, but just couldn't fit on the disc! In the clip, Curt demonstrates a simple way to create texture and pattern on a vessel by layering and carving colored slips. Watch the video!
Forget the Plaster! How to Make a Surprisingly Durable Hump Mold out of Unfired Clay
We ceramic artists use plaster for everything from drying or wedging surfaces to stamps or molds for slip casting. But potter Lauren Sandler has been making hump molds for her work out of unfired clay. This way she doesn't have to deal with the mess of plaster, doesn't have to wait for her molds to dry and be fired, plus, if she gets tired of the form, she can reclaim the clay for some other use. Now, I don't mean to diss our good friend plaster, but I do love the simplicity, speed, and versatility of this method.
Productive Play: How Playful Experimentation Leads to Fun Pottery Forms!
Learning to play in the studio can have its rewards, especially when new and unique forms are discovered. As is evident in her work, Chandra DeBuse embraces play in the studio. How else could she create such fun pieces? In today's post, an excerpt from the hot off the presses November/December 2013 issue of Pottery Making Illustrated, she shares the process for making one of her "Treat Servers." I especially love the ingenious use of craft foam as a template! So smart. - Jennifer Harnetty, editor.

Scott Dooley's work looks to be anything but simple, with its wild angles and off-kilter shapes. But if you break it down to the basics, you learn that it is just made up of a lot of simple parts. In today's video clip, an excerpt from his new DVD Handbuilding Modular Forms with Stiff Slabs, Scott demonstrates how he makes the building blocks of his sculptural vessels and the tools he has come up with along the way to make his process easier. With these tips, all you need is some imagination to develop interesting hand built pottery of your own. – Jennifer Harnetty, editor.
The Right Angle for Approaching Geometric Ceramic Sculpture
Many years ago, while handbuilding a large form, ceramic artist Marcia Selsor was struggling to support two slabs that she wanted to join at right angles. So, she set out to build a custom tool to serve
this purpose: a right angle jig to support the form in progress. Today, Marcia shows us how to make and use her right angle jig, a simple tool she came up with to make building geometric sculpture easier.
Handbuilding Modular Forms with Stiff Slabs
In Handbuilding Modular Forms with Stiff Slabs Scott Dooley shares his technique for creating brightly colored modular vessels using altered slabs and a minimum of tools. Scott demonstrates how he mixes and matches conical and cylindrical slab-built parts to construct an energetic teapot and a sculptural joined vase form. Then he explains how he creates an aged metallic patina using copper wash and just one base glaze with various colorants. If you're looking to start handbuilding or searching for an expressive variation of ho-hum slab work, this is the video for you!
How to Construct a Large Easel for Making Murals
When we're talking about murals, bigger is often better. But constructing and carving those murals is very labor intensive and even back breaking if you are kneeling on a cold, hard cement floor for several hours at a time. It doesn't have to be! In today's post, an excerpt from the October 2013 issue of… Read More »Sculpting and Handbuilding
In this book you'll find sculpting and handbuilding techniques explained with practical instructions and helpful accompanying images. Equipment, clay bodies and studio advice are thoroughly covered. Through the work of today's ceramic artists, Claire looks at new methods of building by hand, including mixed media, sculptural methods, vessels, and surface decoration.
Support Systems: What it Takes to Make Lightweight Wheel Thrown, Altered, and Assembled Ceramic Sculptures
Making thin, curved walls out of clay requires support throughout the process. In today's post, Wouter Dam explains how he uses foam swimming pool floats for
support during construction, and customized clay supports to get the pieces through the firing.

Press Release #13-047
Author, actor, and humorist John Hodgman will deliver this year's Twain Lecture on American Humor and Culture on Saturday, April 20, at St. Mary's College of Maryland. "An Evening with John Hodgman" will begin at 7:30 p.m. in the Michael P. O'Brien Athletics and Recreation Center Arena and will be followed by a book signing. Live music by The Rusty Spurs will precede the event, starting at 6:30 p.m. Both music and lecture are free and open to the public. For more information, please contact Ben Click at email@example.com or 240-895-4253.
Hodgman's latest book, "That Is All" (2012), concludes his trilogy of satiric almanacs of Complete World Knowledge with "The Areas of My Expertise" (2006) and "More Information than You Require" (2009). All three were New York Times bestsellers. His writing has been published in McSweeney's Quarterly Concern, the Paris Review, and The New York Times Magazine.
Acclaimed for his acting as well as his writing, Hodgman may be best known for his correspondent work as the "Deranged Millionaire" on Comedy Central's "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" and for his personification of a PC opposite Justin Long's portrayal of a Mac in Apple's "Get a Mac" advertising campaign. He has also been a guest on National Public Radio's "This American Life."
Hodgman's talk will mark the 7th annual Twain Lecture at St. Mary's College. The Twain Lecture Series began in 2007, with a talk by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Ron Powers, author of "Mark Twain: A Life." Since Powers' inaugural lecture, the Twain Lecture Series has hosted a wide range of speakers, including Twain scholars Robert Hirst, general editor of the Mark Twain Project and curator of the Mark Twain Papers, and humorists such as David Rakoff, Thurber Prize-winning author of "Half Empty."
In addition to the annual spring lecture, the Twain Lecture Series sponsors contests in humor writing and art for students and alumni and features smaller, specialized events. The second annual "Assault of Laughter" Writing Contest closes on April 1, 2013 (April Fool's Day) and the first annual "Ignorance of Art" Contest closed on February 14, 2013. Winners of both contests will be announced in April at "An Evening with John Hodgman."
In fall of 2012, the Twain Lecture Series hosted the first "Laughing to the Polls" event, featuring comedian Jimmy Tingle, and the first "Music & Truth" performance, featuring musicians John Reynolds and Gary Kirkland. Both events will be bi-annual fixtures of the Twain Lecture Series.
"An Evening with John Hodgman" is sponsored by the Twain Lecture Series on American Humor and Culture and the St. Mary's College Student Programs Board.

Vic Chesnutt
Vic Chesnutt
Though Michael Stipe had been a fan of Vic Chesnutt since the late '80s, producing his first two full-lengths, it took the Sweet Relief Two tribute album to make a star of him in mid-1996. The album featured artists such as Madonna, Hootie & the Blowfish, Smashing Pumpkins, and R.E.M. covering the songs of Chesnutt, a paraplegic who was injured in a car accident when he was 18. The singer/songwriter began playing contemporary acoustic folk around Athens, GA, soon after his injury. A show at the 40 Watt Club brought him to the attention of Stipe, who helped with production on 1990's Little and 1991's West of Rome, both on Texas Hotel Records. A documentary video of Chesnutt's life called Speed Racer was produced and directed by Peter Sillen in 1991, and has aired on PBS. Chesnutt's third album, Drunk, followed in late 1993, but the release of his fourth album was delayed by Chesnutt's membership in Brute, a project with members of Widespread Panic including David A. Schools, Michael Houser, Todd Nance, John Hermann, Johnny Hickman, David Lowery, and John Keane.

This is a score designed to be entirely in sync with the degradation that Gotham undergoes, the notes drag as if the music is slave to the picture, if a picture's worth a thousand words then a Hans Zimmer score is worth just as many. It's a dark sound that seedily intertwines classical and industrial sounds capturing the sense of loss, desperation, hope, and honour that runs through Nolan's bleak world and it's got Zimmer stamped all over it.
The German born composer though isn't exactly at the cutting edge of film composition these days as the new breed are taking over; hell even Skrillex is turning his hand to film, but you'd be a fool to underestimate this man. Think of a film, a director, an actor even, chances are Zimmer has created the music for something on your list and chances are it's a bona fide classic. Hell, Inception's only two years old and it's practically got a following, True Romance is, like most of the German's work, instantly recognisable in its sheer bloody minded simplicity, he's composed for Gladiator, Hannibal, The Lion King, Pirates Of The Carribean, Thelma And Louise, heck he even did The Simpsons Movie, he has an Oscar, a few Golden Globes, some Grammy's and a whole host of other awards including a Classical BRIT Award, which no one in the world even knew existed.
This is a score that doesn't just capture the mood of the film it is what creates it.
By this point I'm assuming you've all seen the film, shed the tears, and winced at the sound of many snapping bones, but by god it was a fucking arduous journey, the soundtrack in its own right is not in the slightest, in fact it's an easy listen; if you're into techno, chanting, and the violin. The chugging motif rhythm that runs throughout the film goes perfectly with that all knowing hero look Batman has plastered on his face at the best of times. Smarmy git. The mixture of synths and classical is what Zimmer is best known for, but here it becomes almost tribal and instinctual as it's seamlessly intercut with chanting and airy operatic singing. This is a score that doesn't just capture the mood of the film it is what creates it. This is the sound that echoes through the streets of Gotham, the melancholic ramblings of 'Rise' and its pacey build is the death, redemption, and rebirth of these characters who have struggled to find their way in a world that knows no bounds.
WATCH // The Dark Knight Rises Official Movie Trailer
The dulcet bass tones and pulsing electronics that ripple throughout are insidious and infectious in equal measure and while there's no standout moment here, as a whole it's effect is disconcerting, jarring, daunting, and not really the best thing to listen to on the bus. It is a master class in musical manipulation, give the man a tambourine and a piano ('Mind If I Cut In?') and you have yourself a cat. On 'The Fire Rises' he even uses methods of glitch to throw intentional spanners into the works mimicking musically the technology on show from the boys on screen, it's hideously clever and impeccably sharp as razor wire violins are played to death behind it. You will have this stuck in your head, guaranteed.
Hans Zimmer is already on the list of The 100 Greatest Living Geniuses and with this he's cemented his status. Like the title of the hero it's a score full of contradictions; it's stark and rich, emotional and blank, sharply suited and most definitely masked. This is a soundtrack designed for the heroes, the villains and everyone in between.
If you're a soundtrack connoisseur then this is definitely one to add to the collection and if not then it's simply a staggering accompaniment to what is already one of the year's biggest films.

University of Louisville Hospital closing in on deal with partner
- David A. Mann
- Reporter- Business First
- Email | Twitter
A partnership deal is close for University of Louisville Hospital, but nothing is final yet.
Following an executive session on Thursday afternoon, the University of Louisville board of trustees voted to give Dr. David Dunn, executive vice president of health affairs, the authority to sign a deal that would align the hospital with a private-sector partner.
Officials with University Medical Center Inc. — the organization that operates U of L Hospital — and U of L began looking for a partner for the hospital through a formal request for proposals issued in February. The system is seeking a partner that could help the 404-bed hospital overcome financial challenges and make improvements.
After being granted the authority, Dunn said he expects to make the decision in the next two to three weeks. He said he cannot disclose who the partner would be or how many offers were on the table. However, he did indicate that more than one proposal still is being considered.
"(The decision) really comes down to what is best in terms of the health-science center," he said.
Last year, hospital officials were in talks to join a merger between Jewish Hospital & St. Mary's HealthCare Inc. and Saint Joseph Health System. But Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear blocked that deal, arguing it was not in the best interest of the state.
The nonprofit University Medical Center leases the land where the hospital is located from the state, and it has an academic affiliation agreement with U of L to serve as a teaching institution for medical school students.
The merger was a controversial subject as critics worried that it could lead to the hospital — the safety net health care institution for the area — eliminating procedures that are not in line with Catholic health directives, including some reproductive services.
David A. Mann covers these beats: Health care, health insurance, distribution/logistics (UPS), manufacturing (GE, Ford), environment, travel, minority/women's affairs and Southern Indiana.

A Day at the Beach with Celebrity Chef Rocco DiSpirito
AAAWe caught up with celebrity chef Rocco DiSpirito for the inside scoop on his Italian beach getaway. I am a: Chef
Your beach stay in 2 words: Italy, sunshine
What beach did you visit? Il Fornillo in Positano Italy
Who went with you? A big group of friends
Where did you stay? Rented a beautiful villa in the heart of Sorrento called Villa Lusso.
What's your must-do thing in this beach area? As little as possible, just do what the Italians do: wake early and let the natural beauty soak in over a coffee, then a passeggiata (long slow social walk) through town, followed by a big boisterous lunch of too much impossibly fresh seafood and plenty of Greco di Tufo wine, then a nap outside under a vineyard, then a slow wake and a light supper with friends where you laugh hysterically at almost anything. Rinse and repeat.
You'd never go to the beach without packing: Throwback sunglasses -- think 50's Sophia Loren movies -- and a great lightweight short sleeve white shirt you can wear all day and night.
What's your beach soundtrack? Italian conversation
You'd be crazy to leave here without eating the: Everything you lay your eyes on, especially the tomatoes, lemons, clams and other seafood.
Your Beach Day:
8 a.m.: Slowly rising thinking about where im going to have café e cornetto.
11 a.m.: Sleeping surfside.
1 p.m.: Lunch with everyone all together. Lots of food exploration and wine and laughter.
2:30 p.m.: Nap time Italian style: find a hammock, a chair under a vineyard or a nice tree to sleep under.
6 p.m.: Wake up and get ready for a long walk through town and gelato!
On a scale of 1 to 10, how badly do you want to go back to this beach? (1 = "Yuck, no thanks!" 10 = "Already have the next trip booked!"): 10 to the tenth power.
Rocco DiSpirito is a celebrity chef, New York Times best-selling author and host of Now Eat This! Italy, a series in which he travels to Sorrento, Italy to cook classic Italian dishes with Italian grandmothers. For more Italy coverage visit AOL Travel's Summer in Italy page.

PaRappa the Rapper's got some new tunes |
Listed in: PSP Tags: Downloadable Content, PS1, Sony
The PSP version of PaRappa the Rapper looks and feels pretty much the same as the earlier incarnation, or so others say so. In case you are wondering about its new features, nothing is really awe-inspiring save for the new background music. The new songs, accordingly, can be downloaded through the infrastructure mode.
Aside from that, everything is pretty much the same - from animations to buttons timing. Those who have played the Demo version even say that it is too easy to beat, not to mention the game is rather short. Imagine Sony adding a few new stages, or just even a single one. That certainly would cause a stir among waiting fans.
Could it be possible that Sony is holding something back? A new stage and/or some new downloadable content? Oh well, we guess we all have just to wait and "keep believing" until the release on December 7.

I LOVE THIS GAME>> but if we're going to be able to play PS1 emulated games on 3.0 firmware provided by Sony - wouldn't we be able to just PLAY the original PS1 version of this on our PSP?? So why would the specifically release it on PSP if they didn't add something extra to it (other than multiplay) ?

IgA Deficiency: Correlation Between Clinical and Immunological Phenotypes

IgA deficiency (IGAD) is the most common primary antibody deficiency. Although many affected individuals have no apparent symptom, selected patients suffer from recurrent mucosal infections, allergies, and autoimmune diseases. We aimed to investigate the clinical features in relation to immune function of Iranian patients with symptomatic IGAD.
Thirty-seven patients (21 male and 16 female), aged 4–32 years, were evaluated in this study. Patients were followed for a total of 131 patient years with a mean follow-up of 3.5 years per patient.
The most prevalent presentations were recurrent infections occurring in 27 subjects, followed by allergy in eight cases and autoimmunity in two patients. However, during the follow-up period, 35 patients developed infections in respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts, necessitating medical care. Apart from infections, allergy was the most frequent complaint (31 cases); the major features were asthma, atopic dermatitis, and allergic rhinoconjunctivitis. Autoimmune diseases were documented in ten cases; thyroiditis was the most common. In 31 patients who received unconjugated pneumococcal polyvalent vaccine, antibody response against polysaccharide antigen was measured before and 28 days after vaccination. One fourth of vaccinated patients were hyporesponsive to vaccine; four of these patients developed bronchiectasis. The patients with IGAD were classified into two groups: group 1 (14 cases) consisted of patients with IGAD and other associated immune defects, such as immunoglobulin G (IgG) subclass deficiency and defective specific antibody production. Group 2 (23 cases) had isolated IGAD without other immunological abnormalities. There was a significantly increased number of lower respiratory tract infections in group 1 compared with group 2 (P = 0.006). Moreover, four patients of group 1 had bronchiectasis whereas none of the patients in group 2 developed this complication (P = 0.015).
Subclassification of IGAD regarding the existence of associated immune defects is useful in terms of morbidity and planning for medical care. IgA-deficient patients with concomitant immune defects such as defects in specific antibody production have higher rates of recurrent infections and bronchiectasis, which necessitates more effective monitoring.

Judge: No cameras in Michael Jackson trial
Updated On: Apr 06 2013 04:06:24 PM CDT
The wrongful death trial of concert promoter AEG Live filed by Michael Jackson's mother and three children will not be televised, a judge decided Friday.
CNN had requested its camera be allowed in the courtroom during the trial, but Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Yvette Palazuelos issued a ruling Friday denying the request.
California law leaves the decision to the trial judge's discretion based on 19 factors to be considered. Palazuelos did not say in her ruling what factors swayed her decision.
AEG Live's lawyer argued televising the trial could create a frenzy among Jackson fans at the courthouse that could pose a threat to witnesses.
Jackson lawyers argued in favor of having a camera in court, saying it would be the best way for the world to see justice done.
Without cameras, only a handful of journalists will have seats in the small courtroom in downtown Los Angeles.
The Jacksons' lawsuit accuses AEG Live of liability in Jackson's death through the negligent hiring of Dr. Conrad Murray, the physician who is serving a prison sentence after being convicted of involuntary manslaughter.
AEG Live contends Murray was never its employee, but was chosen and hired by Jackson.
If AEG Live is found liable by a jury, it could means a multibillion dollar judgment for the Jacksons, based on the potential earnings of Michael Jackson had he lived past his 50th birthday.
Opening statements and the first witness could be heard in about two weeks in the trial that is expected to last for two to three months.
The pool of potential jurors reached 60 Friday afternoon after four days of eliminating jurors for hardship reasons. The process will continue Monday and Tuesday or until about 100 potential jurors are identified. On Wednesday, the lawyers will start the voir dire process of eliminating jurors based on cause or their jury strikes allowed under court rules.
Until then, the lawyers are studying their answers to a long questionnaire the potential jurors completed. The process is expected to continue for another week, perhaps ending around April 16 or 17.
It is unclear how soon after a jury is seated that the judge will have lawyers deliver opening statements and call the first witness. Some judges allow the jury a day or so to take care of personal business after being selected.

89% of the CEO
Martin Rankin
I have been working at Fast Enterprises full-time for more than 5 years
Pros – The founders of the company remember what its like to be the employee and as such they take care of their own employees way beyond what is expected. Paid benefits, good salary, paid OT and people who take your happiness seriously are all aspects that make Fast an awesome company to work for.
The work is never the same, the clients love the product and we're given free range (within reason of course) of coming up with solutions to business processes.
Cons – As of this review we are growing faster than we have resources to cover - the biggest con right now is that you have not applied to this company for a job.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
I have been working at Fast Enterprises full-time for more than a year
Pros – Fast perpetuates a friendly, happy work environment.
I feel like Fast makes a real effort to compensate its employees competitively.
Due to the fact that Fast is still a moderately sized company, there is not a huge amount of "corporate red tape" that needs to be navigated. It is relatively easy to express opinions and ideas that can make the company successful. Employees can have input and that input is heard and acted upon.
I personally enjoy the frequent moving to different locations. Fast makes every effort to ensure that these moves are as painless as possible.
Cons – Sometimes things that you thought were set in stone (like a relocation) change last minute and it can be difficult to adjust quickly.
Advice to Senior Management – As the company grows, please don't turn into the typical large corporation that is more concerned with profits than taking care of the employees. So far you have done a fantastic job.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
I have been working at Fast Enterprises full-time for more than 5 years
Pros – The work is very challenging. There is never a dull moment. That said, it is also very rewarding... financially and mentally. You can't really put a dollar value on the professional development that occurs as a result. Almost every rollout is a new set of people with unique needs from the software. As a result your problem-solving, business analysis, and similar skills improve by leaps and bounds every day.
The product they offer is very strong. It kicks butt resulting in successful projects, happy clients, and generally high morale. The competition is all big-name software firms, but their products aren't even remotely close in functionality, cost-effectiveness, or success ratio. It feels great being the little guy and going into these incredibly large, complicated projects and doing a better job, at a better price, and actually delivering on time.
Structure is very horizontal, access to the partners is surprisingly open. Partners are very involved, very hardworking, and have an impressive mix of genius and business acumen. They seem to go out of their way to do the right thing for the employees and the clients and that ideology permeates the company culture.
People are generally fun-loving and very bright. They hire really well, lots of math majors, lots of Engineering/CS majors, and overall just a good, interesting mix of people.
Cons – Depending on the type of person you are, moving every couple of years can be taxing. The physical relocation process is well managed but the answer to "where will I go next" is often times complicated and hard to nail down.
If you're big on "Titles" the horizontal nature can be frustrating. The room to grow is definitely there though as they reward hard work and professional growth with better compensation and more opportunities. The opportunities will often result in even more work and more responsibility but that's just how the corporate world works in general.
They turn the software contracting paradigm on it's head and then smash it into a million little pieces. People with previous software industry experience often find they need to throw away their previous conceptions about what a software company is "paid to do" and embrace the company culture. It's scary, but it works.
Advice to Senior Management – Don't retire. Formalize the selection process for relocating.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
I have been working at Fast Enterprises full-time for more than a year
Pros – FAST is an amazing company to work for. Not only are the pay and benefits very generous, the company culture fosters a "work hard, play hard" mentality. The work FAST does is ever changing and presents new challenges on a regular basis. The company encourages FASTies to spend time with each other outside of work, which makes work more enjoyable.
Cons – Working for FAST means living in a state of semi-permanence at all times. You can never been totally sure how long you will be in a particular location. On site, there is often a generation gap between the FAST employees and the State employees; it can be frustrating.
Advice to Senior Management – It would be nice if there was a "progress" report on current RFPs so the FASTies named in them had some idea of what was happening.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

I have been working at Fast Enterprises full-time for more than 5 years
Pros – From day one, FAST treats you as a person not a number. I love the small company/community feel. You are given a lot of responsibility right away and your ideas are respected. The job itself is fun, challenging and not monotonous. I've been able to impact departments and individuals in a number of unexpected ways. Benefits are good and you are compensated based on what you contribute. Throughout my career with FAST it has been very apparent that when you work hard for the company, you get the same in return.
Cons – There can be a significant amount of overtime as it gets closer to a rollout date. On a positive note, there is additional compensation for anything over 40 hours. Some people also view having to relocate as a drawback. This was actually a huge plus for me. I have a family that was used to me traveling for my previous job. They love having me home at night but moving every 2 to 5 years definitely isn't for everybody. FAST does pay for relocation and do what they can to make the transition as smooth as possible for its employees.
Advice to Senior Management – Keep doing what you are doing to maintain the small company feel during this rapid growth phase
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
I worked at Fast Enterprises full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – Lots of social events, including company paid destination meetings annually.
Okay pay and paid overtime even for salaried employees.
Cons – Often overwork staff.
Unethical business practices.
Non-"PC" treatment of some employees by the partners.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

I have been working at Fast Enterprises full-time for more than 8 years
Pros – There are so many. The management is great. They really care about us and are very generous. It is rewarding to work for a company that does such a great job and is so respected by its clients. It makes going to work a pleasure. This is a very unique company and should be a textbook model on how companies should be run and employees treated.
Cons – Our business model requires that we move about every 3 to 5 years. FAST makes it as easy as possible but it still has its challenges. The positive side of this is that I've been able to see some new places that I would not have otherwise seen.
Advice to Senior Management – I am so impressed with how this company is managed. They have taken a much different path and it works. Keep it up.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

I have been working at Fast Enterprises full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – Your co-workers truly make the work environment the joy that it is on each site. Unlike a traditional consultant position where your stay rarely requires a fully packed suit case, Implementation Consultants with Fast are located long term. This allows the opportunity to be actively involved with your fellow consultants outside of work, and this is witnessed with the extensive amount of activities employees do together. Often times these are "Fast" sponsored as a reward to hard work on behalf of the employees.
Depending on how you look at the idea of relocation, this can be a pro or con, but the opportunity to travel both internationally (at choice) and domestically allows employees to find what areas are best suited for themselves. Different sites bring unique opportunities and experiences that are valuable on both personal and professional levels.
The position itself has a lot of challenges and learning experiences that come with it. You have tremendous opportunities to learn in the areas of programming/development, conversion from legacy systems, database interaction, managing and organization as well as the process of turning desired and required specifications to completed solutions.
Cons – As mentioned, depending on your view of relocation this could be a con.
Advice to Senior Management – The partners continue to move the company forward to greater success.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

I have been working at Fast Enterprises full-time
Pros – Dynamic, growing company. Great for new graduates. Work hard, play hard culture. Highly motivated and intelligent people. Industry leading product combined with a great leadership give Fast a very bright future.
Cons – Many opportunities all of the US and more and more opportunities internationally, which mean willingness is a big plus. Can be a steep learning curve in first year.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

I have been working at Fast Enterprises full-time for less than a year
Pros – Everyone with the company has been nothing but sincere and friendly, even the partners. The flat management structure means you actually meet the company founders and decision makers. Not being a computer programmer, I was worried about being an outsider on site, but the implementation consultants (developers) are always happy to answer questions and advance my technical understanding of the product. As for the skills and experience I brought to the job, my knowledge and experience in adult education have always been respected by my co-workers and supervisors. I don't feel like I have to "prove" myself or reiterate my credibility every five seconds.
Benefits include insurance, "when it rains it pours" assistance, professional financial planning advice, and adequate vacation/sick time to feel well and rested when on the job. Overtime is compensated and company culture encourages "letting your hair down" with workmates when the work is done. They may need you to move periodically, but they cover moving expenses, which sealed the deal for me personally.
I also like that titles don't really mean much at FAST. I am a training coordinator, but also do a lot of technical writing, get to try my hand at development and configuration, will be coordinating testing, and I do the "little" things that need to be done when implementation consultants are too swamped with programming to do much else.
One of the big reasons I accepted the offer was the company's perspective on community involvement. We are highly encouraged to be pro-active in the cities we work/live and do things for the community as a group. There is also a gift-matching program!
I would also highlight the fact that FAST understands and utilizes superior customer service, despite the fact that the client base consists of government agencies. I was hoping this was the case, asked questions along that line at my interviews, and have not been disappointed.
Cons – If you're a "put down roots" type of person, this might not be the best option, but there are new methods in place so that employees might be able to move less (?). Certain community service opportunities (Big Brothers/Big Sisters, mentor-ship programs, etc. ) and pursuing adoption/foster parenting may not be feasible due to uncertainty in your life.
When a new project is ready to be implemented there is a TON of overtime to meet deadlines, even for training coordinators.
You spend the first month in the dark a lot, because you don't get your company training for about 3 to 6 weeks after your start date. If you're lucky enough to hire into a busy project, this might not be a big deal since you'll be too busy to worry about company history and standard procedures.
Advice to Senior Management – Give new-hires more information earlier on. For example, company history, clear instructions on the resources available through the company's intranet, and a "Welcome to ______________" packet for the city they live in with tips for getting settled. It might also be reasonable to include an introduction to Tax/Driver's Services/Unemployment Insurance. A lot of confusion exists early on just because of industry specific vocabulary. New hires may be able to contribute more if they're not spending so much time on "translation". Really, though, those are nit-picky suggestions.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
