WASHINGTON – In an exclusive interview on The View yesterday, President Barack Obama revealed that the Wizard of Oz's teachings were a significant influence on his political thinking and that he has largely modeled his administration's agenda on them.
Mr. Obama said he got the idea of affordable health care from the Wizard.
"Look, when the Tin Man needed a new heart," the President explained, "the Wizard didn't ask him if he had health insurance and didn't care if his heart problem was a pre-existing condition. He just reached into his bag and pulled one out at no cost."
Mr. Obama said his education policies also derive from the Wizard's philosophy. "When the Scarecrow needed a college diploma so he could get his fair share of the American dream," the President explained, "the Wizard didn't ask the Scarecrow if he could afford one. He just reached into his bag and pulled one out at no cost."
Elizabeth Hasselbeck drew loud, sustained boos when she asked the President "who was paying for these things" the wizard was giving away?
The President silenced the crowd. "Look, you can call this class warfare all you want, Elizabeth," Obama glowered at her. "Most people would call it the rich paying their fair share." The audience leapt to its feet and gave the President a prolonged standing ovation.
The President said he was "strongly influenced" by the fact that the Wizard reigned from behind a large curtain, with no transparency or accountability, and that he spoke through a terrifying, smoke-billowing machine (Hillary Clinton fills the role of the machine, Obama said). He also thinks it was "cool" that the residents of Emerald City believed the Wizard had more powers and skills than he actually possessed.
Mr. Obama noted that the Wizard took credit for killing the Wicked Witch of the West, even though he was sitting in Emerald City when four brave soldiers risked their lives to dispose of her. "That became the model for how the White House took credit for Osama bin Laden's killing," the President beamed.
In addition, Mr. Obama detailed how the Obama administration's defense policy is modeled on the Wizard's appointment of a self-avowed coward, the Lion, to oversee the nation's security.
Even the President's reelection campaign was based on the Wizard's example of abandoning his duties to personally take Dorothy back to Kansas in a balloon. "We learned that you need to drop everything to curry favor with single, unemployed females," Mr. Obama said.
Elizabeth Hasselbeck reminded the President that the Wizard's balloon accidentally left without Dorothy.
"That was because of the failed policies of the previous wizard," Obama said.

This is a question I've asked myself again and again as I prepare for our little munchkin to arrive.
In one year, a typical infant will go through roughly 2,000 diapers. That's a lot of changes and a lot of money. Diapers are one of the top consumer disposable products, and take up 4% of landfills in the United States.
Typical disposable diapers contain a ton of harmful chemicals including traces of Dioxin, a toxic by-product from the paper-bleaching process. Dioxin is considered a carcinogen (cancer-causing chemical), and the EPA considers it one of the most toxic of all carcinogens. It has been banned for use in most countries, except for the USA.
Typical disposable diapers also contain sodium polyacrylate, which is an absorbent polymer that turns into a gel-like substance when wet. This is very similar to the substance that was used in tampons until it was discovered that it increased the risk of toxic shock syndrome in the early 80's.
Another harmful chemical contained in disposable diapers is Tributyl-tin, which is a toxic pollutant that has been linked to causing hormonal problems in humans and animals.
In our household we have made a concerted effort to reduce harsh chemicals in every way possible long before we became pregnant, so I certainly wasn't about to introduce them to my baby.

Makes Listening To Music So Much Better
Being somewhat of a music purist, when ripping music from CD to digital, I have tried to maintain the highest bit rate possible. However, with so much music now purchased online, I've pretty much given up on that obession. In order to cram as many tunes as possible onto my mobile devices, I have accepted that if 256 kbps is good enough for iCloud, it's good enough for me. But it really isn't.
Compressing music files to reduce their size also reduces the quality of the audio—you may not notice it because you've gotten so used to it, especially if you listen primarily through "ear buds." But what if you do want to bring some "life" back to all that music you have stored di-di-digitally?
There are a lot of free apps that make all sorts of claims and you may find one that actually works (yea, right), but let me save you some time and suggest you check out "Audio Xciter" DSP Enhanced Music Player from Aphex. It sounds techy, but once you install this on your mobile device, you simply open the app (instead of iTunes) to listen to your music. All your music and playlists are there just as they were in iTunes and you can even shuffle. There's a free version of Audio Xciter that allows for 15 minutes of enhanced play, which is just a tease. Seriously, who listens for just 15 minutes a day?
The difference in the sound is simply brilliant—"Enhanced" is a total understatement. Previously, the thought of listening to music from the iPod's puny little onboard speaker was tantamount to being certifiably nuts (no offense intended). Audio Xciter restores lost harmonics and clarity so that even those lilliputian tweeters provide sparkling, highly intelligible sound. It may be my imagination, but it even seems to level out the volume variations between tracks. You can also control the level of Xcitement from the setting tab by from choosing low, medium and (my favorite) high. If you're really up for a good time, choose custom and knock yourself out.
Obviously, you won't get growling bass out of an iPod speaker, but connect up to a sound system that has some guts and you'll be amazed what was previously getting buried in the mud. Being a free-appaholic, I'm not on the list of big-time spenders at the app store, and this one costs a whole five bucks (unless you go for the "basic" $3 version). IMHO it's worth every nickle. Click Here
Unfortunately, it doesn't work with streaming audio (Internet radio), but I found a solution for that as well— It's called StreamS Hi-Fi radio and it's a pain to find in the app store - so just click here. It does for iradio what Aphex's Audio Xciter Studio does for iTunes in that it really improves the quality of the listening experience. But it's not the same thing. StreamS works by focusing on the highest quality streams and not through any Digital Signal Processing. So instead of getting 10,000 or more streams of questionable quality—you get 1000 or so streams of the best quality.

Re: Farebeating on Staten Island local buses |
Posted by checkmatechamp13 on Mon May 14 13:57:53 2012, in response to Re: Farebeating on Staten Island local buses, posted by (SIR) North Shore line on Mon May 14 13:03:12 2012. I realized that they said the S54 starts at Castleton & Broadway. I also noticed that they consider 18,000 riders a year out of 17 million on the M15 (about a 0.1% fare evasion rate) on the same level as an 18% fare evasion rate. That, and the fact that they said 3 +SBS+ routes have been running since 2008. And apparently 82 + 15 = 100 now. I didn't even have to try looking for those mistake and I'm sure there's a bunch that I didn't catch. Fine reporting as usual...In any case, people have their own problems. You don't know what a person's situation is and whether or not they can afford to pay. Now, should they be allowed to get on carrying a cell phone in their hand? No. (And even if it's a cheap phone and it has some kind of cheap pay-per-minute plan, it's just rude to walk on with a cell phone in hand). The same applies if you're walking on carrying a bunch of clothes from the mall (though if it's food or some other necessity, then it's a different story). In any case the MTA estimated that it loses $27 million from fare evasion. Even if it doubled or tripled in recent years, that's nowhere near $344 million or whatever number they came up with. |

Painting Anime–'Syzygy of the Sun, Moon, and the Five Planets' |
Since 2011 the National Palace Museum in Taipei has initiated "Painting Anime." Through the latest technology, four high-resolution 1080 HD projectors seamlessly unfold long scroll paintings on the light wall to present the classical scenery in Chinese paintings. 'Painting Anime' reproduced six popular paintings, including Up the River During Qingming (Qing court artists), Spring Morning in the Han Palace (Qiu Ying), Imitating Zhao Bosu's Latter Ode on Red Cliff (Wen Zhengming), Syzygy of the Sun, Moon, and the Five Planets (Xu Yang), Departure Herald (anonymous), Return Clearing (anonymous) and Activities of the Twelve Months (Qing court artists). Inspired by historical material related to the artworks, the six pieces of animations faithfully present the true spirit of the original paintings and their most attractive parts. The exhibition will last until July 16, 2012 (http://www.npm.gov.tw/en/visiting/exhibit/exhibit_04.htm?docno=791).

Do I need to submit a separate application and deposit for the Monterey Institute Summer Language Program (SILP) or English Preparation for Graduate Students (EPGS)?
If you are selected as a Betty and David Jones Scholarship recipient for the SILP, EPGS, or EPTI program, you will receive additional information regarding the deposit and short application you will need to submit.
What if I want to attend the Summer Intensive Language Program (SILP), English Preparation for Graduate Studies (EPGS), or English Preparation for Translation and Interpretation (EPTI) but am not selected as a Betty and David Jones Scholarship recipient?
You will need to submit a separate application to the SILP, EPGS, or EPTI program. Please see our language programs for more information on the application process for these programs.
Does the Monterey Institute have on-campus housing or dormitories for SILP students?
The Monterey Institute does not have on-campus housing or dormitories available for students. This can cause some dismay for Summer Intensive Language Program (SILP) participants, but not to worry! There are several options available for summer housing.
- Option 1: Summer sublet
Many of the Master's degree candidates spend their summers traveling, completing internships, or working for organizations related to their program and sublet their apartments or rooms during that time.
How can I seek employment as an instructor for the Summer Intensive Language Program (SILP)?
Applications for SILP employment will be accepted through our on-line application process starting December through March before each summer program begins. Please apply on the Human Resources webpage.
Who are the instructors in the program?
All instructors are native or near-native speakers of the language and are highly experienced language instructors.
Who are the participants in the program?
Participants are from many different backgrounds. Many are undergraduate or graduate students at universities around the US while others are teachers, business professionals, travelers, and other language enthusiasts.
Can I work or take other classes while I am in the program?
Since the program is very intensive requiring 4.5 hours in class per day and 4-5 hours of homework each night, it is not feasible for student to attend SILP while working or attending other classes.
Are textbooks included in the SILP fees, and which textbook do I order if my diagnostic scores place me between levels?
No. Textbooks are not included in basic SILP fees. If your score on the diagnostic test is between levels, it is best to order both texts and return the one you do not use after the program has started. MIIS does not have a bookstore on campus. All texts must be ordered online. It is imperative to come to SILP with your textbooks on the first day of the program. Please contact the Language Coordinator for your specific program for more information. Textbook and Contact information is located at the bottom of each Program Description page.
Is housing (room & board) available?
Housing is not available at the Monterey Institute. The Institute does not have dorms. However, if you are registered in SILP, you may contact our Student Affairs Office and receive information on the available housing in the area. You may contact Student Affairs at email@example.com or 831-647-4128.
Can my child/teenager participate in the program? What are the age requirements?
Participants in the Summer Intensive Language Program have to be at least 16 years of age by the start of the program. Participants under the age of 18 must provide proof that they are in custody of a legal guardian living in the local area. Under-age participants are also required to submit two letters of recommendation, one from a language teacher and one from an advisor or counselor, attesting to their fitness for intensive language study.

Senator Sheldon Whitehouse
Hearing: Legislation Pending Before the Veterans' Affairs Committee
In Support of the Protecting Servicemembers from Mortgage Abuses Act
June 8, 2011
Chairman Murray, Ranking Member Burr, Members of the Committee,
Thank you for the opportunity to speak about legislation I authored to improve protection for military families from losing their homes through wrongful foreclosure.
While operations in Iraq, Afghanistan, and around the world have put tremendous demands on our brave men and women in uniform, lenders have repeatedly disregarded the laws that are designed to protect servicemembers and their families from losing their homes when they deploy.
Last month, the Department of Justice announced a $22 million settlement with lenders that violated the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act and wrongfully foreclosed on as many as 175 servicemembers. In addition, thousands of military families have been overcharged on their mortgages.
We have all heard horror stories from home about how some financial institutions have treated homeowners in distress. When these abusive mortgage practices harm the men and women we send in harm's way to protect our country, it deserves our attention. Not only are these practices illegal and morally repugnant, they can also be a dangerous distraction from our military mission.
Returning servicemembers have also been hit particularly hard by the current economic downturn. As the Committee knows, in 2010, the unemployment rate for these veterans averaged 11.5 percent, compared to a 9.4 percent national rate. Furthermore, according to a recent comprehensive report on veteran homelessness, veterans are 50 percent more likely to become homeless than other Americans.
These troubling statistics underscore how difficult it can be to readjust to life at home. For our returning servicemembers that need time to get back on solid financial footing, we should do everything we can to accommodate their needs, especially during these difficult economic times.
To better protect our men and women in uniform, I've introduced the Protecting Servicemembers from Mortgage Abuses Act, cosponsored by Senator Baucus,
Senator Blumenthal, Senator Boxer, Senator Durbin, Senator Feinstein, Senator Hagan, Senator Lautenberg, Senator Leahy, Senator Merkley, Senator Mikulski, Senator Nelson of Florida, Senator Pryor, Senator Reed of Rhode Island, Senator Sanders, and Senator Tester. This bill would double the maximum criminal and civil penalties for violations of current foreclosure and eviction protections. It would also extend and make permanent the period of foreclosure protection coverage after military service has ended.
Under current law, servicemembers have 9 months of foreclosure protection after military service. However, this provision is due to expire on December 31, 2012. Then, servicemembers will only get 90 days of foreclosure protections. My bill would permanently extend the period of foreclosure protection beyond 9 months.
I hope Senators on both sides of the aisle will come together and join me in supporting this legislation.
Thank you again for the opportunity to speak on this important issue. I look forward to working with Chairman Murray, Ranking Member Burr and other members of this committee to pass this important bill, which I believe will discourage loan servicers from further violations and help to protect the financial and emotional well-being of our military families.

Handmade Artisan Umbrellas from Parisian Couturier Michel Heurtault
January 30, 2010
Winter in Paris can be tough on the psyche, with one grey day following the next. But Zeva's post (from Paris by Appointment Only) about Michel Heurtault's amazing couture umbrellas has us doing rain dances. Who knew showery could be so chic?
Text and Photos by Zeva Bellel
I write about some pretty unusual talents on this blog, but couture umbrella maker just might be my rarest find yet. That's why I'm letting Michel Heurtault, owner of the fabulous umbrella shop, Parasolerie Heurtault, tell the story behind his flabbergasting art.
I've been obsessed with umbrellas from the time I was three. I have no idea why, but I could spend hours breaking them apart and studying how they opened and closed. I collected all of the umbrellas I could find, and by the time I was eight I was repairing them for people in my neighborhood. Needless to say, my parents thought I was nuts.
I moved from Toulon to Paris when I was eighteen and began working as a costume designer. I eventually opened my own company, Art 'Scene, where I made costumes and corsets for film shoots, theatre productions as well as fashion houses such as Dior. I poured the most luxurious elements into my costumes.
Throughout the same period, I devoted all of my free time to making umbrellas and parasols. I didn't want to make them in polyester and plastic like everyone else, so I started researching ways to waterproof and UV-protect noble materials, like lace, cotton, silk and linen. Anyone can put fabric on an umbrella, but my signature is to use only the finest materials, experiment with the cut, and handcraft the finishes so that it becomes a striking object with a soul.
I use an 18th century machine to cut my fabric into eight panels and then bend and shape them to create the curves and silhouette of the umbrella. The fabric needs to be as taut as possible. The sound of the umbrella when it opens, the stretching and tightening until it springs into place is a sign of quality. The more the fabric flutters, the more it catches the wind like a sail, causing the umbrella to shake and break.
I do all of the detail and finishing by hand. I pad the ribs and smock the runners with fabric for aesthetic and practical reasons. It unifies the color of the design, prevents rusting, and helps the umbrella open and close more easily.
I consider the umbrella to be a fashion accessory. Not only is it a beautiful item to carry in your hand, it gives you instant attitude and allure. I'm always shocked by the number of people who spend a ton of time and energy on their ensemble, but then ruin it with a revolting umbrella.
Instead of a cigarette, you have an umbrella to play with. It's the final touch to a chic silhouette.
So many women come to me and say that they'd love to carry a parasol, but that it's not really fashionable. And I tell them, 'it's not just about fashion, it's about personal comfort.' When you're under a parasol you don't sweat as much, your makeup doesn't drip off, you're not oppressed by the sun, and of course, it's great for protecting your skin.
Umbrellas have been vulgarized as disposable objects. We throw away 10 million per year in France and 33 million in the USA. During your grandmother's era an umbrella was a luxury object; you bought one every year and when it broke, you had it repaired. I'm not obsessed with the past, I'm just thinking about a future that's ecologically chic.

BOSTON, Dec. 20, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Block & Leviton LLP (blockesq.com), a Boston-based law firm representing investors nationwide, is investigating possible breaches of fiduciary duty by the Board of Directors of NYSE Euronext ("Euronext" or the "Company") with regard to a proposed sale of the Company to IntercontinentalExchange, Inc. ("Intercontinental") /quotes/zigman/23571824/delayed/quotes/nls/ice ICE -0.02% in a stock-and-cash transaction currently valued at approximately $8.2 billion.
Under the terms of the agreement, Euronext shareholders will have the option to receive per-share consideration for their Euronext holdings of (i) $33.12 in cash, (ii) 0.2581 in Intercontinental common shares, or (iii) a mix of cash and stock, subject to a maximum aggregate cash consideration of approximately $2.7 billion (the rest of the consideration requires the Euronext shareholder to take Intercontinental stock). The Company has traded in the $30 range as recently as March 2012.
The investigation is focused on the potential unfairness of the price to Euronext shareholders and the process by which the Euronext Board of Directors considered and approved the transaction. Block & Leviton's investigation seeks to determine, among other things, whether the members of Euronext's Board of Directors have breached their fiduciary duty by failing to maximize shareholder value in the proposed transaction. If you have any information relevant to this investigation, or if you have questions about your legal rights, please contact Mark Delaney at 617-398-5650 or email him at email@example.com.

British Formula 3 champion Jean-Eric Vergne hopes his first fully fledged Formula 1 test with Toro Rosso in Abu Dhabi next week will be a major step in his progress toward a future in grand prix racing. Toro Rosso confirmed today that the the 20-year-old Frenchman will be in its car for the Yas Marina young driver sessions.
"I am delighted to be given this fantastic opportunity and would like to thank Red Bull and Scuderia Toro Rosso," Vergne said. "To date, my only experience behind the wheel of a Formula 1 car has been driving the Red Bull Racing car at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Apart from that, I have spent a lot of time in their simulator, providing feedback during the grand prix weekends.
"I am looking forward to these two days in Abu Dhabi and hope there will be other opportunities to drive an F1 car in the future."
Vergne dominated his year's British F3 Championship at the first attempt, and also impressed in a partial Formula Renault 3.5 season.
His FR3.5 teammate Daniel Ricciardo, the other leading member of Red Bull's driver development scheme at present, is set to drive for Red Bull Racing in the Abu Dhabi test.

Read my other where I blog about my 2010 reading challenge.
The few still alive blogs of the old bloggers
Visit to follow the books I read and what I think of them.
A comparison of satisfaction rates and ED in subjects treated with sildenafil, intracavernous PGE1 (alprostadil), and penile implant surgery was performed by Rajpurkar and Dhabuwala in 138 men with ED. This was a nonrandomized study in which all subjects were initially offered sildenafil. The mean follow-up was 19.54 months, and questionnaires were used to obtain the data. Their conclusions were that men with a penile implant had significantly better erectile function and satisfaction. Cannot be used by patients on MAOIs* The workers studied did not have to spend years in the factory to develop problems -- sexual dysfunction began in new workers after just months on the job, Li said. What types of tests will be performed to help determine if impotence is related to cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, diabetes, or another serious medical condition? "Critics dismissed all the animal studies, saying, 'Show us the human studies,' " Li said. "Now we have a human study, and this can't just be dismissed." PDE5 inhibitors should be used with caution if you have any of the following conditions: Alprostadil can be injected into the penis or inserted using a special applicator - usually just before sexual intercourse. viagra online canada Bremelanotide generic cialis online Penile Angiogram Lack of scientific studies on effectiveness Viagra® is rapidly absorbed by mouth with a bio-availability of about 40% and peak concentrations of the chemical are in the blood within 30-120 minutes. (2) This has been one of the advantages for Viagra®, in that it is capable of being taken as a tablet and is relatively quick-acting. A convenient factor when perhaps one's partner won't wait forever! Prostate cancer: Prostate cancer doesn't cause ED on its own, but treatment (radiation, hormonal manipulation, or surgery to remove the cancer) can lead to erectile problems. ED is a very common condition, particularly in older men. It is estimated that half of all men between 40 and 70 years of age will experience ED at least once. How is ED treated? After all the information regarding the patient's status has been gathered, the various options in management can be discussed. This is best completed in the presence of the patient and his partner. Enough options are available that every man who wants to be sexually active can do so. These include sexual counseling if no organic causes can be found for the dysfunction, oral medications, external vacuum devices, or some type of invasive therapy, including the use of intracavernosal injection therapy or the Medicated Urethral System for Erections (MUSE), which is an intraurethral suppository. One of the most difficult aspects is teaching men that sex entails more than simply achieving an erection. "Animal studies have already indicated that you may be able to achieve as much or more with a single dose of radiation than with a protracted course," Scardino noted. "So, the big question is, are you going to find more complications as a result of this kind of a shift in dosage? Now, cutting back from seven and a half weeks to five weeks is a slight move in this direction, but they found no difference in sexual side effects, and that's valuable. And I certainly think we'll be seeing a lot more research in this area." Long-term results not available [edit] Pathophysiology Treatment depends on the cause. Testosterone supplements may be used for cases due to hormonal deficiency. However, the cause is more usually lack of adequate penile blood supply as a result of damage to inner walls of blood vessels. This damage is more frequent in older men, and often associated with disease, in particular diabetes.

Vinyl Skin / Hard Case for phone
I posted this over on the community board, but no one answered. I figured I'd get more help from teenagers on this one!! :goodvibes
I'm looking for a new case for my Samsung Infuse. I want a Disney one. I look all over, and all I find is something called Vinyl Skin. Is this a hard case? Do you have to buy a separate hard case, and then put it on? I just don't get it. I'm looking for something with Snow White on it, or just Mickey. TIA! |

How Japan's Olympics will revolutionize tech
Japanese companies are going all out to impress visitors to the 2020 games
IDG News Service - Last month's awarding of the 2020 Olympic Games to Tokyo could be great news for technology.
Pushed by a desire to showcase their expertise to the world, some of the country's biggest companies are now targeting 2020 for the deployment of new technologies that could revolutionize mobile telecommunications, consumer electronics, automobiles and even the way people watch the Olympic Games on television.
In a series of presentations at the Ceatec 2013 electronics expo in Japan this week, companies outlined their plans for cell phones that transmit data 100 times faster than today, TV pictures with 16 times as much detail as current high-definition and cars that drive themselves.
They might sound like fanciful dreams, but consider what happened last time Japan hosted the Olympic Games.
In 1964, the country undertook a massive infrastructure program that included building the famous Shinkansen bullet train, numerous subway lines in Tokyo, an expressway system through the city and hotels and facilities for visitors. Back then, technology wasn't nearly as pervasive as it is today, but the 1964 games were notable as the first to be broadcast overseas via satellite and in color.
And so again in 2020, the Olympic Games might serve to push forward television technology.
While TV makers are currently promoting "4K" or "Ultra HD" sets, which offer four times the level of detail of current HDTVs, Japan's national public broadcaster NHK (Nippon Hoso Kyokai) is close to beginning trial service of a system with 16 times the level of detail. Called "Super Hi-Vision" or "8K," the technology has been under development for years and test transmissions are due to begin in 2016.
By 2020, NHK hopes it will be able to cover the Olympic Games using the new system. Super Hi-Vision already received a limited trial at last year's London Olympics, where NHK and the BBC produced several hours of programming per day and beamed it to public viewing sites in each country, so the chances are good that NHK will meet its plan.
TDK this week showed off a new hard-disk drive recording system developed with Seagate that adds a laser to the traditional magnetic recording head. The result is that more data can be crammed onto a disk. The company said it "wasn't a dream" that 40 terabyte drives would be possible by 2020.
Why 40TBs? That's the amount of space TDK envisages will be needed to record all Olympic competition transmitted using NHK's new Super Hi-Vision service.

On Memorial Day, President Obama plans to break from his vacation to pay tribute to the fallen at Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery near Chicago. Should he instead be laying a wreath at Arlington Cemetery and the Tomb of the Unknown?
Yes, he should be at Arlington.
No, it doesn't matter as long as he pays tribute to our war dead someplace else.

In order to maximize efficiency and performance, all strategic and structural components of your organization must be in alignment. Even in the highest functioning operations, there can be gaps in composition that have a ripple effect on overall performance.
Creating or honing Centers of Excellence within your organization—the collaborative thought leadership, governance structures, methodologies and tools that uphold best practices and support continuous improvement—enables the highest quality output and maximum achievement.
ESI consultants will first identify any breaches within your organization and then tailor a solution to address any issues, leverage your assets and achieve organizational alignment.
ESI Services include:
A Case Study: Ensuring Adoption of Best Practices A leading automation technology company had developed several policies for project management, but application and adoption were erratic due to lack of buy-in by PMs. Communication throughout the organization had also been insufficient and ineffective.
Our Approach: ESI's PMO consultants evaluated and addressed the issues surrounding lack of support among PMs and identified opportunities for departmental training to ensure consistency. ESI also developed a communication plan to educate and engage the organization's key stakeholders. All activities were tied to client-specific goal setting and measurement in order to track progress.
"Collaboration, partnership and a willingness to be flexible, along with direct access to ESI's thought leaders, continues to help ADP achieve many great successes." Martia Newell, Vice President of the NAS Implementation PMO, ADP

Operation Y
Miuccia is at it again, delivering yet another fantastic collection. Geeks are in, sexy greek gods are out. I wasn't sure about the leather blazers but they grew on me. The ruffles are a nice and delicate touch, prove to become one of micro-trends of this season (see J.W. Anderson) and i'm sure will pop up in other collections. The styling was so on point with collars carelessly pocking out of sweaters and jackets, cropped trousers paired with thick-soled shoes and no socks. The set design deserves a post on its own. One day.. And a multi-age casting was an interesting element.
Sucks to be a geek. Does not when you are dressed in Prada!
The woman herself. Embellished slides and a white coat. Genius.
After watching this, the character from a 1960's Soviet comedy "Operation Y and other Shurik's adventures" came to mind. He is THE ultimate geek! The nerdy student who gets into the most obscure situations.
Miuccia Prada,

Antony Worrall Thompson's right-hand man and executive chef David Wilby believes the British know how to make the best chips and – in the run up to National Chip Week (February 21-27) – reveals his recipe for fabulous fries and hand cut hunks.
"Greasy, limp and soggy chips can be a thing of the past with the right ingredients and the right techniques," says David, who works alongside Worrall Thompson in running The Greyhound pub, near Henley-on Thames, Windsor Grill and Kew Grill restaurants and Windsor Larder delicatessen and catering service.
David and Antony's restaurants are famous for their hand cut 'chunky' and 'skinny' chips, with the Grills selling more than 200 kilos of chips every week alongside succulent British steaks!
"Good chips can be really difficult to find outside the chip shop these days," says David, who gives intensive training to all his restaurant chefs on the art of the perfect chip. "Many pubs and restaurants use frozen chips and very few attempt to hand cut because it's so labour intensive. But we British have always appreciated what makes a good chip and we work hard at AWT Restaurants to make them the best in the business."
David's top five chip tips
1. Pick your potatoes. We only use 'floury' Maris Pipers in our restaurants because they give just the right crispy, golden exterior and fluffy interior once cooked - waxy potatoes are no good for frying. We buy them unwashed – the dirt protects them from sunlight and keeps the potatoes in tip-top condition. If you want really superior chips, Mayan Gold cannot be beaten. This is an old fashioned variety that's not widely available but has a wonderful flavour.
2. Prepare properly. Wash and peel your potatoes and dab them dry with a paper towel. Cut them into 3 quarter inch by 3 quarter inch batons about 3 to 4 inches long (thicker cut chips tend to be slightly lower-fat because they absorb less oil) and make sure they are all of an even width so they cook at the same rate.
3. Cook twice. Always blanch your chips first in cool oil in a deep, heavy-based pan (or preferably in a deep-fat fryer) at around 140 degrees for around 8 minutes and then leave them to cool properly. Then, just before serving, pop them into very hot oil (around 180 degrees) for 2/3 minutes. Drain on kitchen towel and serve hot.
4. Watch the heat. Always have a thermometer to hand so you don't under heat or, more importantly, over heat your oil (many accidents are caused through neglected chip pans).
5. Flavour with fat. Personally, I love frying chips in beef dripping as this give incredible flavour but good old vegetable or nut oils work well too (and are better for you!).

Cattermole hurt his back in a challenge during the game against Chelsea while Cana damaged a hand. Bruce said: "Lorik Cana has got X-rays in the morning. He's got a bang on his hand and it could be broken. We hope not."

True Story
LeBron James is on pace to become the greatest "true shooter" ever. Tom Haberstroh explains it all. The Big Number THTV: Shane Battier Replay: TrueHoop TV Live First Cup: Wed. »
FORD: Lillard is a willing passer. Rivers isn't and will never be. Lillard made dramatic improvements from year to year. I thought Rivers was the exact player in college that he was in high school. Lillard is a team player. He was the second most efficient player in college basketball DESPITE being the only decent player on his entire roster; teams game planned to stop him and him alone every night. I just don't see Rivers ever being anywhere near as unselfish or efficient. I think Rivers will be shocked at the athleticism and length at his position. He'll try to do the same things at which he excelled in high school, spend a lot of time on the bench, get into it with his coach and teammates, get traded in a year or two to a desperate team, put up huge numbers for a cellar-dweller for a year or two, make some money, and eventually, teams will realize he can't be the alpha dog on a winning team.
SIMMONS: Other than that, you're a huge Austin Rivers fan.
FORD: I honestly think Rivers is the one guy I wouldn't touch in the lottery. Too toxic for team chemistry, doesn't have the same physical tools to make it worth it.
DAVE TELEP: There's no question that that Andre Drummond is, in my mind, all things being equal, should be the number 2 pick in this draft.
I guarantee you he's going to go somebody's camp and there's not going to be anyone on the roster who looks like him or moves like him. Does he want to be Andre Drummond the rotation player, or want to be Andre Drummond the guy who challenges for a max contract someday?
Where he's going to fall on that continuum? I don't think that you can possibly answer that question right now. It is truly up to him.
CHAD FORD: [Drummond] -- this isn't a question of his character, by the way -- he doesn't have a clue what it takes to be a great NBA player. He doesn't understand the work that's got to be put in, how hard it is, all the obstacles and challenges he's going to face. He doesn't have a clue.
That's not a knock on him, by the way -- you could say the same thing about LeBron James. Now that he's won the title, you're hearing LeBron talk about things he didn't know, things that he wasn't doing, that he started doing when he realized he was going to have to put in more effort.
He's been so great for so long, but to be a great NBA player requires hard work, it's not just about being big or athletic, and I just don't think [Drummond] gets that yet, but I'm not saying he won't get it. I think he very well could.
TELEP: You think about when Randy Moss was drafted by the Vikings, and Chris Carter takes him under his wing. Andre Drummond is very much going to need someone to do that for him. Maybe Juwan Howard gets his 20th season serving as a mentor to Andre Drummond. Because if he's going to be successful and max out his ability, he's going to need someone to walk this journey with him a little bit.
If you put Andre Drummond with the Spurs -- and [I'm] just throwing them out because of the culture -- you put Andre Drummond with guys who have an approach to their job, that conduct themselves in that manner at an elite level, you're giving him a final chance because he's able to reset his foundation a little bit. If he goes to a culture of not much structure and a lot of flexibility, it could be trouble for him.
FORD: That's a great point, and unfortunately, most of those teams drafting at the top of the lottery are drafting at the top of the lottery because they don't have the right mentors and often times the right systems in place. And if he goes to the Bobcats, I'm not nearly as bullish on him as I would even going to the Wizards where Nene and Emeka Okafor are there as veteran guys who can help him understand what it takes to be an NBA pro.

Only 3 percent of all books published each year in the United States are works of fiction or poetry that have been translated into English from another language. Consider then, that the 2009 Nobel Laureate was Romanian-born author Herta Mueller, and the year before, it was Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clezio, a French writer. There may have been some very savvy readers who already had them in their libraries, but many others probably tried searching in vain at their local bookstores for copies. Open Letter Books, a small press operating out of the University of Rochester in New York, is trying to offer those readers a head start. Unlike some large publishing houses that occasionally release translated works, Open Letter only publishes works in translation. Its printings are small -- just about 3,000 per book -- but the press serves its devoted readers by offering them a subscription service, a kind of book-of-the-month club featuring international writers. Open Letter also runs a blog called Three Percent, as well as a conversation series called Reading the World. Chad Post is the director of Open Letter Books. He joined me to talk about their particular niche in the publishing industry: Editor's Note: You can listen to more conversations in our series, "The Next Chapter of Reading," including authors Alberto Manguel, Ursula Le Guin, and Rick Moody. We've also talked about the latest in consumer e-reader technology, and on the NewsHour we had a report about the Google Books plan to digitize and offer millions of books online. |

Central Park, WA - A standoff with a man in a Central Park home last night kept neighbors out of their homes until around 9 PM. County Undersheriff Dave Pimentel said the 54 year old was holding his wife at gunpoint when officers first responded to the Robin Hood trailer court off of Pioneer street around 5:30 last night. The man released his wife and barricaded himself in the home shortly after officers arrived at the small trailer court off of Highway 12 East of Aberdeen. Pimentel said Aberdeen, Hoquiam, State Patrol, Department of Fish and Wildlife, and Sheriff's Department, officers were on scene until a negotiator was able to talk the man out of the home. After a short struggle the man surrendered to officers, was taken to Community Hospital in Aberdeen for observation before being booked into the Grays Harbor County Jail on various charges.
