Students return from South Korea scholarship exchange
Sam Garrett '12, Daniel Khalessi '13 and Tenzin Seldon '12 were among 75 college students selected to take part in the prestigious South Korea Scholarship Program.
The students were hosted at Yonsei University, located in Seoul, and had the opportunity to attend various academic lectures and cultural trips from Mar. 18 to 26.
Having just returned to the states, Khalessi described his trip as "an amazing experience" that took him to museums, the U.S. military base and the demilitarized zone between North Korea and South Korea.
"This experience is a very meaningful way to understand what we learn in those courses," said Khalessi, who is a political science major. "Going to a place like Korea and seeing the divide between North and South Korea…really gave me a better picture of what's going on. It really supplemented the materials I was learning in my classes in an exceptional way."
The Council on International Education Exchange (CIEE) and the Korea Foundation teamed together to organize the scholarship program.

International workshop on flash flood and debris flow risk management in Mediterranean areas
The directive 2007/60/CE of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2007 on the assessment and management of flood risks requires Member States to draw up maps identifying all areas exposed to flooding risk and indicating the probability and the potential damage for local populations, property and the environment by the end of 2013. Moreover it requires to prepare and implement flood risk management plans for each river basin district including management measures focusing on reducing the probability of flooding and the potential consequences of flooding by the end of 2015.
The aim of this workshop is to show advanced scientific and technical tools oriented to support the implementation of the directive in Mediterranean basins, where inundation is usually due to flash floods, and to raise a joint reflection between experts, technical responsibles, stakeholders and risk management authorities.

The amount of inventory that we must carry will be based on the relationship of customer lead time to our cumulative lead time and delivery lead time, and additional factors such as capacity constraints, lot sizing policies, and customer service objectives.
Inventory is a trading currency. It can be used to trade for time or capacity. We compensate for the difference between customer lead time and our logistics pipeline time by trading time for inventory. When faced with capacity constraints, we build things earlier than needed to satisfy future demand peaks—trading inventory for capacity.
We usually meet demand from external customers from either production or inventory. On a day-to-day basis, the decision will be based on inventory availability. From a strategic perspective, however, the decision and supporting systems should be based on lead time relationships and projected demand versus capacity. Don't use customer service as an excuse for high inventory levels. You can also provide good customer service through lead time reduction.
Managing Lead Times to Win the War
The five steps that follow should form the basis for the campaign to reduce lead times and inventory.
1. Understand Your Lead Times
Use item data and product structures to construct graphical representations of each product, similar to the flip-flop bill of material in Figure 3. Not only will this provide a picture of cumulative lead time, but it will help point out where lead time reduction efforts should be focused. Understand the detailed elements that make up cumulative lead time for all your products. For purchased items, break down the lead times into the tasks that are performed by your company, your supplier, and other organizations. Analyze the lead times of manufactured items. Get a handle on your delivery lead times for each product. How much time is spent picking, packing, and shipping? What are the transit times to warehouses, customers, or major geographical areas? Work with your customers to find out how much time is spent between their receiving your product and having it available for use.
2. Understand Your Customer Lead Time
This involves knowing what your customers expect in terms of the time between their giving you an order and their receipt of the product. As this allowable lead time is most often influenced by the competition, you need to compare your delivery times and performance with that of your competitors. Overall, you need to know if you are losing product sales because the competition can satisfy the customer faster. Don't forget about the impacts of cost and quality in this comparison, however.
3. Find the Fluff
Discover the dead space! Bash the bureaucracy! Recognize the redundancies! Identify the idleness! Qualify the queues! As you examine each area of your logistics pipeline, look for waste. Try to identify the candidates for lead time reduction. Sometimes these are obvious, such as mailing purchase orders to your suppliers when they could be sent electronically. Others will require a more detailed analysis; for example, comparing the average actual manufacturing lead times to those used by your planning systems. Many of the information systems you currently use can provide much of this data—use them!
4. Improve Your Systems Support
Make your system give you the data you need to do the analyses discussed so far. When you find disparities between actual practice and what the system plans or expects, bring the system into line. For example, if the system is using 6 days as the manufacturing lead time, and the actual average is 4 days, change the planning parameter in the system. Don't stop there. Find out why the system value was wrong. Was it because it was calculated
using the routing? If so, find the standards in the routing that are out of whack and correct them.
Review all of the variables used by your system for planning and scheduling. Look for those that need to be changed to more closely reflect reality, or that could be modified to affect a lead time or inventory reduction.
5. Attack the Problems and Improve the Process
It's difficult to wage war on many fronts, so first of all you must decide where to attack. If you're losing the battles on delivery in a ship-from-stock environment, you should be concentrating on the distribution and delivery processes. Reducing manufacturing lead time can wait for later, when it becomes the constraint.
The real key is to focus your initial efforts on that portion of the cumulative lead time and delivery lead time that falls within the customer lead time. If the customer lead time remains constant, your lead time reductions from that end will bring more of the cumulative lead time within the customer lead time bracket.
As you begin to address improvements in manufacturing processes, focus first on the critical path. In manufacturing operations, concentrate on the bottleneck resource within the critical path. You'll probably find that it's a bottleneck for many of your products. Address manufacturing lead times on two fronts— increase capacity where it makes sense, and improve your production methods and processes.
Work with your suppliers to reduce purchase lead times, again using the critical path of your cumulative lead time for focus. Remember that as you reduce lead time in one area, the critical path may change. Keep your cumulative lead time representations up to date. They should serve as maps and battle plans in deciding where to concentrate your forces.
There is no truce in the war on lead times. To fight that war effectively, we have to:
• Understand our lead times and how they are related.
• Establish manufacturing and inventory policies that reflect these relationships.
• Gather intelligence about where the weak spots are located.
• Seek and destroy the enemy! Wipe out inefficiencies and waste in our logistics pipeline at the points where it does the most good in advancing the forward edge of the battle area.
• Take a little R&R before the next battle!

(Edited to Add: Totally forgot to drop this link: "Supermoon" Coming this Saturday.)
Another Lesbian Werewolves for the Win! Werewolf Wednesday, and I cannot get enough of them.
The ebook version of Silver Moon by Catherine Lundoff is now available, print editions to come, and to celebrate this release, I have a review! (Keep an eye out in June for another celebration, where Catherine will visit the blog, and we'll give away some prizes!) First, though, links to Silver Moon: Amazon | All Romance E-Books | Lethe Press.
Blurb: Becca Thornton, divorced, middle-aged, and barely out of the closet discovers that life can still hold some strange surprises, when she discovers that her body is changing; menopause turns her into a werewolf. Apparently she is not the only one, as a number of women in her town of Wolf's Point seem to have had the same experience. As the newest member of the pack, Becca learns her nights are not spent only protecting the town and running through the woods howling at the moon. There are werewolf hunters in town and they've got Becca in their sights.
(NB: Above links are not affiliate links. Author provided an e-arc of the book for review. Also, I don't believe there are spoilers, other than what you can get from various descriptions of the book.)
I was sold on the premise of Silver Moon from the start: women werewolves protecting their town? Characters of "a certain age" being awesome? Women kicking ass? Lesbians being heroes? Yes please, all of that and more. And I'm pleased to say that overall, I loved the story and hope to spend more time with these characters in the future. There aren't enough supernatural stories about lesbians, or women who are werewolves, or older characters, and especially not about older lesbian werewolves who are completely awesome. I was giddy at discovering Silver Moon, and I'm still giddy after having such a good time while reading. The details of the werewolves are delightful (keeping a throat covered when laughing, because baring it says [potentially unintended] things, the smell of happiness, the sounds they can hear), and I love that this is a story about women and so many things they are and can be.
I do have my issues. There are uses of "crazy" and "insane" that I found pretty ableist, and a reference to a mental hospital that made me cringe. (Yes, I know this is language that is used in everyday life. Believe me, I know. I deal with it all the time.) Though there are quite a bit of racial diversity in the characters, particularly the werewolves, the story is so tightly focused on Becca and the things she's discovering about herself that often the other characters get short shrift and the racial diversity falls to the background. (I'm hoping there will be additional books and the other characters will have more page time. I am particularly intrigued by Deputy Lizzie Blackhawk, who is smart and snarky and badass, and also, I think I'm in love.) The last twenty pages or so seemed rushed, especially compared to the slower build of the first half of the book. (Though now that I look at the actual page numbers, werewolf things start happening early in the book, and I can't quite put my finger on why it felt like a slower build. I like slower builds, particularly in books about monsters.)
All of that being said, I really loved the book. I loved Becca and her changes, physical, emotional, sexual. I loved the werewolf pack, all the women and the work they do to keep their town safe. I loved the worldbuilding, the rules for werewolves, and the juxtaposition of interesting things: supernatural and scientific, monster and human, hunter and hunted, predator and prey. About halfway through, the story grabbed me and I devoured the rest, deadlines be damned, in a glorious rush of action and intrigue and lies and truth. It is truly a supernatural adventure, decorated with bits of humor and romance and angst.
One of the things I like most about werewolves and werewolf stories is the metaphor of lycanthropy as mental illness, particularly my experience with bipolar disorder: the (sometimes) uncontrollable physical changes lining up with the (sometimes) uncontrollable mental changes, cycle for cycle. There are moments where the language, the description, so exactly captures what I think of when I think of werewolves, of that metaphor for mental illness, that it made me want to stand up and cheer, except that meant I'd have to stop reading, and so I didn't. ("… she could feel that same wildness building in her … clawing its way to the surface inside her, racing beneath her skin and preparing to break through.")
Silver Moon does not address this metaphor. What it does address is similar, though, and really made the story appealing to me: (sometimes) uncontrollable physical changes for (sometimes) uncontrollable physical changes. Lundoff's werewolves aren't a metaphor for mental illness, but for the way our bodies become different with age. (Literally and literally, for her werewolves; menopause brings the changes we recognize, but also changes Becca could never anticipate.)
Silver Moon isn't just a story about lesbians, or women getting older, or werewolves being secret superheroes, or women being victimized. It isn't a story where the women are monsters because, wink wink nudge nudge, all women are monstrous, am I right? (Can you tell I am exhausted by all of the stories where women are victims or villains and nothing in between?) At its heart, it is a story that either we can relate to now, or we will relate to later. It is the story of change, in good ways and bad. Sometimes – eventually, inevitably — our bodies change, our minds change, our lives change, without warning, and without our desire for it to occur. We get older. We deal with mental illness, or physical. We lose those we loved, we leave them, we say good-bye. We fight to keep our homes; we fight to create a place for ourselves in a new world after we've been rocked by things that happen to us, around us, we fight to keep those we love safe.
As readers, many of us search for ourselves in the stories we read, often to no avail if we aren't straight, white, able bodied and minded, cisgendered, and/or male. In Lundoff's werewolves, I found pieces of myself, my questions about what I am and what I have and what I will become; the push and pull of pack ties (family ties) with solitary natures and the need to seek adventures alone; and those shining moments of human and monster, separate and one, all wrapped up in a rollicking adventure that was simply fun. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, because it fits this story so well.
Lesbian werewolves for the win!

Posted in the Culpeper Forum
This story captures its best. RIP Patricia.
http://opnateye.com/... |
United States |
Thank you!!! |
Judged: 1 Well ain't that somethin'.... |
Sons of Virginia! Who among you will serve your country and Democracy by standing up to tyranny?! Who among you loves America enough that he or she will Rise to Arms?! Any uniformed, armed, rank holding member of the State who hides a murderer is a murderer himself! Every police officer, politician, judge, or prosecutor is complicit in murder, and under the laws of the State of Virginia and the United States of America you are justified to use force to destroy these aggressors to freedom! You are the Sons of Virginia, and you stand in the gaze of judgement of your grandfathers and great-grandfathers who destroyed tyrants at Normandy, Bull Run, and Yorktown! Sons of Virginia, YOU MUST ACT!
I have created a Facebook page seeking justice for Patricia Cook, as well as a change.org petition. Please consider liking the FB page and signing the petition:
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Justice-for-Pa... http://www.change.org/petitions/the-u-s-senat... |
Judged: 2 1 1 The police Officer was named in the Fredericksburg paper. His name is Daniel Sullivan alias's Daniel Dodson-Wright.His face book page is under Dan Wayne. He was in the Marines stationed at Camp Pendelton in California in 1999. Went to high school at James Madison In Vienna Va. He also would not be able to pass a background check. He is 33 years old. I hope this helps you. |
Reading, UK |
Judged: 1 1 1 One has to beg the question, why would someone deliberatley kill an unarmed decent women and then have remorse. |
Please sign & share this Petition asking 4 justice n the Patricia Cook shooting. http://www.change.org/petitions/special-prose... # Patricia Cook
May I ask how you know that he won't pass a background check or what kind of details can you give me to confirm in via the public record? |
Judged: 1 1 1 |
United States |
Judged: 1 1 1 There are good cops out there but he is/was not one of them. To blanket defend him because he had a badge makes all of them look bad. |
Judged: 1 1 1 |
So there's every chance, if that poor woman had rolled up her window (per the witness NOT trapping the officer's arm) that she did so because he was a creepy drunk who smelled of alcohol?
I don't want slime like you "serving" me. Take your power trip and stick it up your ass, you small peckered prick. |

Wash your rice under a cold tap, making sure you wash out all the starch, then place your washed rice into a saucepan.
To determine how much water to add, use the finger method. Place your finger into the rice and measure where the rice comes up to, then place your finger on top of the rice and fill up with water to the same mark.
Bring the pan to the boil, then turn to the lowest setting; cover with a lid and cook for about 10-15 minutes.

TRURO - Three local community groups have each received funding from the province for facility upgrades.
The recipients are Maggies Place Family Resource Centre in Truro, the Truro and District Lion's Club and Deuville's Rink in Salmon River.
Truro-Bible Hill MLA Lenore Zann made the funding announcements through a news release issued Friday.
"Both Maggie's Place and the Lions Club provide invaluable assistance to many in our community," Zann said. "I am very happy to support them with this funding so they can continue the great work they do."
The funding is through the Department of Communities Culture and Heritage and is intended to provide for improvements to each of the three facilities in question.
Maggies Place received $20,000 while the other two groups each received $15,000.
"As the MLA also representing Salmon River I've worked hard in recent months to find a way to assist the Salmon River Hockey Society, which is another long-standing non-profit community organization," Zann said.
The money will be used for upgrades to Dueville's rink to help bring it up to date with the province's fire codes.
"Minor hockey players, other local groups, and the general public will be able to continue to use our legendary 'Hockeyville' rink as they have for the past 25 years or more," she said. "I'm grateful for the support of the Department of Communities, Culture and Heritage since it is my belief that these types of organizations and facilities help our communities maintain both our unique Canadian culture and our rich heritage - in which hockey plays an important role."
Maggies Place executive director Linda Legere said the money for her facility will be used to make the centre more energy efficient to help with heating costs while also making more comfortable and welcoming for families.
"We are very pleased to have received this grant," she said.
"Not only will it help make our centre more energy efficient and help with our heating costs, it will also help make our centre more comfortable and welcoming for families."

TEST BIG KIC has evolved from Kilsyth International Carnival, and is set to be the event of the summer with the biggest and best programme yet.
General entry to the main daytime festival attractions at the Colzium from the 13th to the 15th August is £3 a day, or £5 for a three day pass, and free for kids under 12, retaining our reputation as the best value for money family festival in Scotland. The two evening events in the Big Top are separately ticketed - see below.
Comic KICs at the Coachman Hotel on 11th and 12th August, features some of the best Scottish and international comic talent fresh from the Edinburgh Fringe. A special Kids Comedy Club will also take place on 12th August for young comedy fans aged 8-12.
Major festival events will take place in Colzium Estate from 13th-15th August, transforming the site into a leafy playground with a striking 1200 capacity Big Top in place to provide safe haven from the shining sun, rain and midges! With an adventure playground, a great choice of food and ice cream stalls, a large craft fair, a licensed bar and the funfair running all three days, there will be lots to do for everyone, at whatever budget.
13th August
The festival kicks off in style with Teenage KICS dance showcase, allowing teenage dance troupes from around Scotland the chance to compete for prizes and perform on the Big Top stage in front of hundreds of spectators. Special guests Eletricat (left) and The Flying Jalapenos will close the competition with high energy professional dance performances.
Headlining Comic KICS on 13th August is Edinburgh fringe festival headliner and BBC regular, Fred MacAulay, (right) who will treat audiences to his massively popular brand of stand up humour under the canopy of the Big Top in Colzium Estate. Support from Stu Who? will open the show.
Tickets at £10 are now available for
Fred MacAulay at the Kilsyth Comedy Festival
Friday 13th August, 7: 30 pm, Colzium Big Tent
Saturday 14th August
Clan KICS takes place in Colzium Estate on Saturday 14th August as a celebration of Scottish traditions and Celtic culture. Visitors to the estate can take part in the Clanranald Heritage Trail with Roman encampments, medieval tents, weaponry displays, demonstrations and workshops, allowing guests to see, hear and even smell what life was like in Scotland, and perhaps in Colzium Estate back in historical times.
A Ceilidh band competition will take place in the Big Top where spectators are invited to come help judge the bands by voting with their feet. Market stalls, a funfair, hog roasts and other food and drink stalls will also be open throughout the day.
Following Clan KIC is a special concert performance from Latino-Scottish 11 piece Salsa Celtica, whose combination of virtuosity and energy has made them one of the most exciting groups on the world music circuit today. With a line up combining some of Scotland's and Ireland's most exiting traditional musicians this is not to be missed. Norrie MacIver from 'Bodega' – winners of the Radio 2 Young Traditional Musician of the Year - is to support Salsa Celtica on Saturday night.
Tickets at £12 are now available for
Salsa Celtica and Norrie MacIver at the BIG KIC

Sunday 15th August
The final day of the BIG KIC festival on 15th August is the popular Kilsyth International Carnival which will provide the perfect end-of-summer celebration on the eve of the return to school. Spanning two outdoor stages and the weather proofed Big Top, Carnival will be a multi-cultural celebration of music, dance and performance with funfair rides, market stalls, food and drink combining to offer the perfect family fun day out. Legendary Scottish singer-songwriter Dougie MacLean (Caledonia) (left) will headline. And festival legends Macumba are set to close the main stage on the 15th August from around 5pm.

Community Is On Fire
Have you been watching NBC's "Community"? If not you are missing some of the best comedy on TV right now. The writing shows flashes of brilliance, the ensemble is filled with likeable oddballs, and it has even give Chevy Chase a terrific vehicle to remind us that he is a funny, funny man.
The show has been solid all season but it reached stunning heights near the end of the season with its spoofs on movie genres. First there was the Goodfellas/Mafia movie flick (already expired at Hulu — sorry), and then that excellent episode was topped by the apocalypse/action flick spoof seen here:
(Watch it now before it expires)
As much as I love 30 Rock (and to a lesser degree Parks and Rec) I have to say that Community has been my favorite comedy on TV this season.
Posted on May 17, 2010, in Television. Bookmark the permalink. 17 Comments.
Loved this episode, one of the best of all time. But I also still go back and watch the one where Pierce is in a band with Vaughn. So classic.
Totally agree. We DVR all four Thursday night comedies on NBC, but Community is the first one we watch every time.
Community is fun, but its also somewhat groundbreaking. Never seen anything like it.
Love all of the cast (although the less Chevy/Pierce the better), but my heart belongs to Alison Brie (Annie)… just love her! Great comic timing, plus she's got that super deadly combo of innocence and sexiness that just kills.
The paintball episode was awesome. So awesome. But I'm still partial to the naked pool game episode. I want to laugh just thinking about it.
Genius! This show is genius. It's quickly become one of my favorite shows and I was iffy about it in the beginning.
"I choose shorts!!". Genius.
I think my favorite is Abed. Best show on TV.
I thought it was just brilliant that they relieved the sexual tension by practically hiding it in the warfare/paintball tension.
And I had to keep pausing the Hulu just to shush my husband who was laughing so hard during "Modern Warfare" I couldn't hear the "rapid-fire" dialogue.
The show is amazing. I keep going back and forth between this and Modern Family as my favorite comedy right now.
Rose – same. We very nearly deleted it from our dvr early on, but gave it one more chance. And now it's one of the first things we watch. That and Modern Family. And Rules of Engagement…
Another "love it" from me too! Great show. Abed is my favorite.
Glad to hear someone else likes Rules of Engagement. That's been consistently good for a while but you don't hear much about it. Patrick Warburton and David Spade are a comedy dream team.
I consider a personal mission to spread this show far and wide across the British Isles. It was recommended to me bby a few a month or so ago and since then literally no one has heard of it.
Rules of Engagement is hilarious. And underrated. And has Puddy, so really. How bad can it be?
Just wanted to say that thanks to you guys, my wife and I are now completely addicted. We've watched 17 episodes in the last 2 weeks. I'm glad to see from the comments that there are some hilarious episodes to look forward to. =)
30 Rock used to do some funny stuff in the end credits, but the Abed Troy show just kills. The Spanish rap from the first or second episode is just pure awesome.
The finale was masterful as well. The guest spot by John Oliver was hilarious. Hopefully he will be a regular next season.
I just found out that Danny Puddi is the butt-dialer.

"The last few years have certainly shown the downside of thinking that more house is always better, even if you have to stretch to afford it. Regardless, it's silly to talk about personal finance without talking about where you live and what you drive. In the context of achieving happiness, there is also some intriguing research suggesting that big, infrequent purchases (such as houses and cars) don't do much for overall happiness, whereas spending a lower percentage of your income on these items might free up cash for categories that will give you a more pleasant life. There are also plenty of people who have discovered this truth and, rather than trying to keep up with the Joneses or submitting to their tyranny, are getting a good laugh at them."

JC Stylles has been exposed to "the best jazz" since the early days of his youth, which was spent in one of the most unlikely place to have nurtured a jazz musician: the rain forests of Kuranda, a small, predominantly Aboriginal town in the tropics of Far North Queensland, Australia. There he soaked up the masters such as Coltrane and Parker via his stepfather's extensive jazz record collection, and there he also began playing guitar at the age of seven. He also studied clarinet and saxophone for a time, and went on to play in the local Aboriginal band 'Mantaka,' named for an historic Aboriginal settlement on the Barron River of Kuranda.
For a white 'fella' to grow up so close to his Aboriginal mates is very uncommon in Australia; Stylles (known then as Jason Campbell) likens the experience to growing up in the deep south in the US in the 1950s or '60s and running with a multi-racial set. The pains and pleasures that he experienced in those formative years are in many ways key to Stylles' deeply soulful approach to life and music. Moving to Sydney when he was sixteen, Stylles had the life-altering experience of attending every night of a week-long engagement by George Benson, gazing in awe from front row seats at the guitar master, whose recordings had already made an indelible mark on the development of his own style. In the succeeding years Stylles went on to study with a wide array of jazz giants as they passed through Australia on tour - such as Johnny Griffin, Woody Shaw, Miroslav Vitous and John Scofield - while working with his own groups and sharing the stage with some of his county's greatest jazzmen, including virtuoso multi-instrumentalist Errol Buddle and Jazz Messenger alumnus, saxophonist Dale Barlow. But a successful career "down under" was not enough to keep Stylles from hearing the siren song of New York City. In 1992 he migrated to the Jazz Capital of the World, where he continued his studies with guitarists Pat Martino, Tal Far low, John Abercrombie, Rodney Jones and bebop professor Barry Harris, further developing his skills working in the clubs around the city.
Returning to Australia for family reasons in 1995, Stylles spent the next decade enhancing his art and reputation by leading his own groups, settling on the guitar-organ-drum trio configuration as his primary means of expression. Performing with his country's leading B3-ist, the veteran Col Nolan, he developed a hard-hitting style that has become the hallmark of all his units. With ten successful years as a bandleader under his belt he relocated permanently to New York in 2005, staking his claim as a leading organ trio guitarist, burning up stages from the Village to Harlem, releasing two fine CDs, Chillin' At Home and Live and Unveiled. Stylles, who's now shared the stage with some of the world's greatest organ players, among them Jimmy McGriff (Stylles played the organist's final gig), Dr. Lonnie Smith, Tony Monaco, Jimmy "Preacher" Robbins, Joey DeFrancesco, Melvin Davis, Mike LeDonne, and Brian Charette, has come to be known as one of the first call players when it comes to filling the guitar chair in a B-3 trio.
The group featured on Exhilaration & Other States is an outgrowth of Stylles' work with the Harlem Groove band led by Seleno Clarke, the soulful organist who has worked with the likes of George Benson and Grant Green. It was during Stylles' four-year tenure, from 2006-2010, with Clarke at the American Legion Post Harlem on 132nd Street that he met drummer Lawrence Leathers. "He immediately made an impression upon me as a drummer who had something special," the guitarist notes. "He had a great sense of swing, combined with a touch that was hard to find in mature drummers, let alone drummers in their mid to late twenties. And above all, he had one thing that you couldn't ignore -- he listened and communicated."
Stylles tapped Leathers when he began a new Thursday night residency at Perk's Jazz Club in Harlem. On Sunday night around that same time, Stylles heard a whisper go through the Legion Post that Pat Bianchi was in the audience. Stylles remembers, "Sure enough when the quiet, almost subdued, Pat graced the stage, he awoke the B3 beast in a manner which was almost scary. He conjured all sorts of dynamic energy and ideas out of that animal that made you think twice about all its possibilities." As fate would have it, Bianchi took over the organ chair at Perk's for the next 18 months, giving birth to the trio that would eventually be captured on Exhilaration & Other States. During his Perk's residency, Stylles got serious about developing repertoire, engaging the audience by mixing a range of R&B and pop tunes with jazz standards. "We came up with jazz versions of Michael Jackson tunes and even versions of D'Angelo and R. Kelly tunes to keep the audience interested, and they would just go crazy. Over time, we could play any room anywhere and be able to adapt the repertoire to fit accordingly." Towards the end of 2009, the level of communication within the trio reached a point that Stylles wanted to capture. "We went into Showplace Studios in New Jersey with Grammy® Award winning producer Jack Kreisberg, and recorded 18 tunes in one day. Nine of those are included on this CD and the remainder are on hold for a future project."

I went to London in march 2004, so almost 10 years ago...and I remember I saw in 4 consecutive days, 4 sleeping beauties, FOUR¡¡¡
Thursday, Nuñez, Saturday matinée, Cojocaru, Saturday night, Rojo and Sunday MARQUEZ.
Well, after 3 great Auroras, I have to admit that I did not expect much of the sunday performance, and voilà....I discovered an unknown Marquez , unknown for me of course, and I say, she was the best of the 4, at least for me , she was the PERFECT Aurora.
I went to the hotel that evening sooooo happy, as my last performance of Sleeping Beauty had been the best of 4. Of course, all Auroras were great, but Roberta was so special, her technique, ideal, kind of Nuñez. I was really impressed.
So, If I may, I'd ask her, what do you remember of that specific march 2004, sunday performance? How come you danced sooo perfect, I mean, smile, technique, musicality, EVERYTHING was in place, I repeat, the ideal Aurora.
Well, sorry for the long comment, but it brings me such wonderful memories....:-) -
Hi :) I have two questions: 1) did you ever think about being famous when you decided to be a ballet dancer? and 2) how did you come to join The Royal Ballet as a principal, instead of joining the Royal Ballet School or going through the corps?
oh, and another one: 3) if it had come a point when you realized you wouldn't be going past corps level, would you have continued dancing anyway?
In response to Lara's question re. corps level - it needs to be noted that many of the members of the corps in the Royal Ballet dance soloist and sometimes Principal roles - this doesn't necessarily mean promotion, but does allow for a certain level of career satisfaction - nearly all the talented corps could be propelled to higher levels, but there just isn't enough space for them all. It is a very sorry commonly thought idea that being a corps member is a kind of 'failure' - they shouldn't be made to feel this way.
For a full length ballet performance what is Roberta's routine for the day of the performance;
a) For an evening performance.
b) For a matinee.

The trick to having a wonderful pregnancy and enjoying every bit of it and feeling confident and happy is to "feel good about yourself". And this is no easy task. I tell you that because I have been working and surrounded by pregnant women for many years.
Its so crazy how the body works! I mean, our body's completely transform. After two pregnancies, I still think it is insane how the abdomen and belly can distend so much and then go back to normal.
One of our greatest fears during pregnancy (for ourselves that is.....) is getting stretch marks. Ugh, you hear so many horror stories, and you just know that if you get them, they are permanent. So how do you prevent them from appearing?
I remember being freaked out when I didn't have kids yet and I would see my friends a few weeks or months after having their babies and seeing their bellies. They looked like they were still pregnant. I remember being horrified and hoping that wouldn't happen to me.
Isn't it great news that your entire body doesn't have to get big along with your belly. Well, if you didn't know, now you do! Ok, I lie a little......
How are you feeling my pregnant friend? Hopefully good enough to be staying active. Because let me tell you.........
Got JUNK in the TRUNK? I feel ya! Why is it that as soon as we get pregnant, the booty automatically starts growing?
Aside from the anxiety of what Labor & Delivery will be like and worrying about the baby so that he/she will be ok, what else do Pregnant Women worry about? Well, since I talk to hundreds of them on a daily basis, I can assure you its...... Pregnancy Weight Gain, Stretch Marks, never getting your body back, etc.
There is always such a huge concern for what kinds of exercises and workouts are "Safe" during pregnancy. And there should be. Because you are not only putting yourself at risk, you are putting your baby at risk.
So by now you know how I feel about exercising during pregnancy and how there are so many benefits of working out and staying fit. It made a huge impact and difference with my first pregnancy and it truly was an amazing pregnancy. So of course now (5 months pregnant with my 2nd), I want to do the same thing and enjoy my Fit Mom-To-Be Workouts which I know kept me so healthy and fit.
Though pregnancy is no walk in the park and we often feel nauseous, tired, and huge (LOL), if we exercise all these things will get much better. Believe me! My first pregnancy was easy as can be, no symptoms, no problems, tons of energy and felt great.
One of the biggest fears for most pregnant women for post partum is THE DREADED POOCH. I see it all the time and I remember before I had my first child and my friends were having kids. I would see them months after and they all still looked like they were 4-5 months pregnant.
As of this post I am 16 weeks pregnant with my second! So you can imagine..... The tiredness has exponentially increased.
Working out during pregnancy is not too different than when you are not pregnant. Of course you should decrease intensity a little, rest a little more, hydrate more, and not do certain exercises. And that is what I want to talk about today, what exercises to stay away from.
Though pregnancy is taxing on the body, you still can be a super fit prego! All you have to do is perform some weight training workouts and eat healthy. I know, it sounds super hard and overwhelming to you, but it really isn't.
I don't know why people think pregnant woman can't workout. Actually pregnant women SHOULD workout and it is actually beneficial for them to. Not only does it help speed and ease labor and delivery but it will help you get back into pre-pregnancy weight much faster.
One of the best things you can do for you and your baby while pregnant is EXERCISE. Don't believe me? Check out what the NEWS has to say about Pregnancy Fitness & Healthy Nutrition.
Pregnancy does not have to be an excuse to gain a ton of weight. If you eat healthy and exercise moderately, you will pretty much gain all your weight in your belly. Thank goodness!
This is a great pregnancy exercise to try to prevent back fat while pregnant. And if you want more pregnancy exercises and workouts, just check them out on My Pregnancy Pinterest Boards. I hope you try this exercise and I also hope you are exercising.
Prenatal Exercise should be a part of every pregnant womans life. There are so many benefits to exercise during pregnancy that you would be crazy not to take advantage of it. Check out all the benefits here: Benefits of Exercise During Pregnancy. You don't have to spend countless hours exercising, if you would just invest about 3 hours per week, you would get amazing results and benefits.
Every Mom To-Be wants to know "how to exercise during pregnancy". The good news is that it is not too different than when you weren't pregnant. You can basically do most of the movements, but you want to be extra cautious and safe, make sure you are well hydrated, and train at the proper intensity. Want to know how to workout at the right intensity when pregnant? Click here: Pregnancy Exercise IntensityThe first thing you want to ensure is that you have medica...
Pregnancy and Exercise, something that every pregnant woman thinks about as soon as they find out they are expecting. It's funny because sometimes, women would never start exercising if it weren't for pregnancy. But it's ok, I won't judge you it that is you.
There are lots of types of exercises you can perform during pregnancy. Actually, exercise during pregnancy will help you have more energy, prevent excess weight gain, decrease aches and pains, help during delivery and help you get in pre-pregnancy weight faster. Here is a list of exercises you can do during pregnancy: Low-Impact Aerobics Jogging Swimming Dancing Weight-Training (my favorite) Yoga When I was pregnant with Nicholas I did 3 days of weight training and 3-4 days of cardio.
Every pregnant woman should engage in some sort of prenatal workout. Not only will prenatal workouts help prevent you from gaining excess weight and help you lose postpartum weight quicker, but they really help you have tons of energy and feel great. If the reasons above are not enough to make you start a prenatal workout, click on the following link: Benefits of Working out while pregnant.
Pregnancy is a beautiful thing. I know not every woman can say this, but if you feel good about yourself when you are pregnant, the chances of you feeling good and enjoying your pregnancy are much higher. So, my dear pregnant friend, if you have not been working out, my advice is get movin' girl.
I think this is a question that most pregnant woman wonder about as soon as they find out they are pregnant. For the most part, each doctor is different, but first consult with your doctor and get clearance to exercise and perform core exercises. Once you have clearance, get movin' girlfriend.
Every single pregnant woman should exercise throughout her entire pregnancy. I wonder if women understand all the benefits of exercising during pregnancy. If they did, I think more women would exercise while pregnant.
Exercise and Pregnancy is what you should be thinking about right now if you want to reduce aches and pains, reduce swelling of ankles and feet, improve sleep, reduce the risk of gestational diabetes, improve mood and reduce labor and delivery time. How much more motivating can it be to exercise while pregnant? I know!
Exercising while pregnant has many benefits. Not only do you prevent EXCESS WEIGHT GAIN, but you also SPEED DELIVERY and get into PRE-PREGANCY SHAPE much faster. There are so many great workouts for pregnancy, and I think there is a huge misconception on what you can and cannot do for exercises during pregnancy.
If pregnant women new the benefits of working out, they would workout more while pregnant. If you want to enjoy your pregnancy, feel good, and have tons of energy, then you have to dedicate a little bit of time to your pregnancy workouts. I promise it will be so worth it.
Everything about Pregnancy is LOVE! And today I am going to give you a pregnancy workout you will love. I am so blessed to have LOVED being PREGNANT.
Pregnancy is such a beautiful thing. I was so lucky to have completely and entirely love my pregnancy. I believe a lot has to do with your mind set and embracing the whole thing. If you do, you will have a great pregnancy and love your changing body. And the reality is, if you feel good about yourself even though your belly is growing, your hips are widening and your nipples have turned black.........YOU WILL STILL ENJOY & LOVE YOUR PREGNANCY! That is why it is ...
If you have been working out for at least 8 weeks prior to pregnancy, then HECK YEAH! Your pregnancy workouts should definitely be intense, but they should also be safe and effective. I worked out my entire pregnancy until the day before I went into labor and I owe my 4 hour labor and 3 pushes to my awesome 5am pregnancy workouts!
Why isn't there a manual that tells us exactly what our Pregnancy Diet should be composed of? I mean, of course we know we should eat "nutritious" and a "well balanced diet"........DUH! Well, what do we do during those weeks that every type of food looks and smells disgusting?
It is such a BLESSING to be PREGNANT, so congratulations! Having an AMAZING PREGNANCY has everything to do with the attitude you choose to have during these next 40 weeks of your life. If you embrace this pregnancy and everything that comes with it, you will have a truly incredible experience.

Your subject line indicates univariate tests before multivariate modeling, but in the body of the message, I don't see any multivatiate modeling at all.
There isn't anything wrong with doing univariate testing (I would call it bivariate, but no big deal) before multivariate. Exploring your data in multiple ways is a good idea. But there is something wrong with using bivariate screening as a variable selection tool. For one thing, a variable might be important only after controlling for another variable.
Could you provide some more details on what the authors did?
How did they identify a set of covariates? What univariate (bivariate) testing did they do? How many candidate independent variables were there? What sample size? What is the state of theory about the relationship between the DV and the IV? If there is strong theory, then the approach will be different than if the research is more exploratory
A good book on this is Frank Harrell's Regression Modeling Strategies
Other areas to explore are partial least squares, principal component regression, the lasso, least angle regression, and multimodel averaging
Hope this helps

How to Use Indicators for 'Corporatism' in Empirical ApplicationsErik LeertouwerEconomie Jakob De HaanUniversity of Groningen - Faculty of Economics and Business; De Nederlandsche Bank; CESifo (Center for Economic Studies and Ifo Institute) May 2002 CESifo Working Paper Series No. 728 Abstract: There exist many indicators for corporatism. Using a latent variables approach, we extract common aspects in 29 corporatism indicators which have been suggested in the literature and find two factors that can be identified as the degree of coordination between employers and trade unions, and the organizational power of labour. Using these factors in the model of Hall and Franzese (1998) employing data for 16 OECD countries, we find that the organizational power of trade unions does not affect inflation. Likewise, the interaction between central bank independence and coordination does not affect unemployment.

Lil Wayne announce Tour Dates
Cash Money superstar rapper Lil Wayne's new single "Fireman," (featuring Cash Money co-founder/signature artist Baby) has literally caught fire at urban radio, scoring the coveted #1 position at both the Urban and Rhythm Crossover formats, with a combined total of nearly 100 radio stations adding the hip hop anthem to their play lists at first asking. The new single is the debut effort from Lil Wayne's much-anticipated fifth album, tha Carter II, follow up to his acclaimed 2004 platinum-plus release, tha Carter.
Tweet | Pin It | |||
Artist: Lil Wayne Title: Tha Carter II Release date: 12/6/05 Label: Cash Money Records Single: Fireman Cash Money Records Buy at: Amazon |
For Lil Wayne, who has been busy with relief efforts in his native New Orleans (he hails from the now-devastated 17th ward) getting back to business is a bit of a respite from his ongoing work to help alleviate the suffering experienced by friends and loved ones victimized by Hurricane Katrina. He purposely shot his new video for "Fireman" in both New Orleans and Houston, where many of the displaced survivors of Katrina have relocated. "It's been a very tough month," says Lil Wayne. "I put everything I had into this song, and now the video, hopefully as an inspiration to everyone who wants to see New Orleans come back bigger and badder than ever."
It was an eventful year for Lil Wayne even before the calamitous Gulf Coast disaster, re-signing with longtime mentors/Cash Money founders Ronald 'Slim' Williams and Bryan 'Baby' Williams in February, and being appointed President of Cash Money in the process. The busy rapper also guested on a host of hit projects including Destiny Child's comeback album and single, "Soldier," Bobby Valentino's "Tell Me," Baby's hit song "Get Your Shine On," among other songs.
Recruited in the streets of N.O. by the Williams Brothers when he was only 11 years old, tha Carter marked his fourth solo effort, (a worthy follow-up to the 2002 gold-plus 500 Degreez) and his first release under the Young Money entertainment Banner. Lil Wayne is currently preparing to tour the U.S., embarking on a multi-city tour that kicks off in November, and also features hip hop artists Young Jeezy and T.I.
