Time Schedule:
John Eric Stewart
Bothell Campus
Examines prevention and promotion, the two fundamental intervention approaches of community psychology. Explores the strategies employed for each, and the array of phenomena, or variables, they address. Focuses on applications at the small group, community, and socio-cultural levels of analysis. Prerequisite: BISCP 343.
Class description
This course provides extended exploration and application of the two key intervention strategies for community psychology (and related fields): Prevention (with an emphasis on primary prevention) and Health Promotion (or "wellness," sometimes empowerment). We will discuss the history, methods, theories, and tensions that characterize, distinguish, and intertwine risk-reduction (prevention) and strengths-enhancement (promotion) strategies for individual and community well-being. Following a community psychology orientation, the class will take an ecological or systems perspective, with a focus on setting/organizational, community, and institutional/sociocultural levels of analysis. In the first half of the quarter we will examine the basic principles, theoretical models, and research base of prevention and health promotion/wellness. In the second half, we will consider application of these ideas, the variety of specific strategies for intervention, and the social implications of accepting and implementing these approaches.
Student learning goals
students will develop a transactional, developmental and contextual understanding of human development and change
students will develop a sophisticated, systems-based understanding of problem definition and analysis
students will be able to apply skills and a knowledge base for evaluating research and theory relating to community and setting-level interventions
students will have a beginning toolkit for conceptualizing intervention strategies
General method of instruction
Exploration of topics will take the form of theoretical and empirical readings, lecture and class discussion, and your own research of and development of a proposal for an original prevention/promotion project.
Recommended preparation
Community Psychology or Risk and Resilience are recommended EXTREMELY strongly, either prior to or conncurrent with this course.
Class assignments and grading
Several short papers over the quarter that will address problems/goals, populations/settings, and theory/strategies of prevention/promotion (40%); these will build toward a final project (a program proposal,a focused research paper, or a program evaluation)(40%). Participation in group work and class discussion will count for 20%
Grades will be assigned based on quality of engagement and the quality of work.

No sooner than the floodwaters had receded and high winds from Superstorm Sandy faded, another threat is arising with the inevitable appearance of the scammer and the conman.
Authorities warn of the likelihood of Sandy-related fraud reaching far beyond the storm zone - from bogus charities seeking donations, to home repair scams and sales of flood-damaged vehicles.
State attorneys general, business and consumer groups and the Justice Department are among those cautioning consumers to be wary as requests for donations start arriving via email, text message, telephone and Twitter.
The bottom line: Maintain a healthy skepticism when pitched by solicitors, contractors and groups you don't know, and give your money to charities and businesses you have reason to trust.

Vanity Fair calls RED the Book "Unsparingly frank and perceptive." Buy it now!
Laura Marling's sophomore album, I Speak Because I Can is now available on Itunes
As a true music advocate, I am constantly searching for fresh, soulful voices to listen to while reading, stuck in traffic or simply taking a walk around my college campus. So when I discovered singer/songwriter Laura Marling while browsing online one night, I was instantly won over by her quaint demeanor and quirky lyrical persona that set her far beyond her youth (the girl turned 20 last month!).
Marling's timeless voice is the ideal rainy-day listen. Having stepped into the UK indie folk scene at age 17, she released her first album, Alas I Cannot Swim, in 2008. It's a mix of acoustic guitar, chirping birds and an evening-under-the-stars vibe, creating the perfect playlist companion on stress-filled school nights. The upbeat first single, Ghosts still shows her rawness as an artist—in the best way. Her musical tempo is as eclectic as they come, ranging from mellow tunes like Shine and Your Only Doll (Dora) to the more powerful beats of Old Stone and My Manic and I.
Check it out for yourself in this live performance in San Francisco (on her birthday) of the latest single, Devil's Spoke, from I Speak Because I Can. which came out this week. It's one more illustration of Marling's uncensored approach to life and her transition from shy, quiet teenager to strong and outspoken young adult. As her elder, I approve.

State insurance exchanges: Hospital IT's next challenge
InformationWeek, September 27, 2013
The launch of the state insurance exchanges on Oct. 1 is not top of mind for hospital CIOs, who are dealing with everything from Meaningful Use and ICD-10 to ACOs and value-based reimbursement. Nevertheless, the exchanges and the accompanying Medicaid expansion in some states will affect the IT departments of hospitals and health systems in a number of ways, say consultants and an official of the American Hospital Association (AHA). First, the prospective coverage of millions of uninsured Americans will require changes to the revenue cycle management (RCM) systems that hospitals use for billing and collections.

Where Obama Went Wrong
Reader Comments
Some people are so stupid they do not see when they are being sold down the river. The more the government owns in corporate America the more we are becomeing a socialistic Communist country where the uper class elite have everything and the lower class has nothing.
as far as the GM bail out goes if they needed bailing out so damn bad then why did they make a huge contribution to the democratic Black caucaus after they got that bail out? smells like a bribe to me but Hey if you want to think they miraculously had a windfall after getting their big government bail out you go right ahead and keep your blinders on.
If Obamas administration is so good then why are his closest advisory leaving right and left. But some of you out therte are just to stupid to see what is really happening out there. So you keep right on yapping and when the goons come to your house and take away your fancy cars and fancy houses Do not say you were not warned ......
Hunter, I used to live in Madison (bet it's your favorite city in Wisconsin) and I knew lots of guys like you who thought that anyone who was motivated enough to get an education and better themselves was an "elitist." It's just part of the anti-intellectual culture being promoted by the likes of FOX and their disgusting ilk. You shouldn't resent us. We're not trying to run your life. We're trying to stop the fascists from running (and taking) ours.
And Bill, you talk an awful lot about the will of the people. Well the people have spoken in November 2008 and 66 million of them voted for Obama and many other Democrats. You obnoxious Republicans haven't shut up for one minute. You've been deliberately disrupting and sabotaging efforts being made to get this county back on its feet. For this you are treasonous. Obama, as I have pointed out, has given more tax breaks to the lower 80% of income earners in eighteen months than Bush gave in eight years, especially if you count all the additional entitlement spending (such as the unemployment extensions) and other middle class oriented spending since the passage of ARRA. Bush did very little for the middle class by comparison. He focused mainly on the rich.
I think we will get a surprise in November especially if the radical tea party candidates run. I hope the voters put these fascists back in their place.
If you need an example , your dumber and more ate up with the dumb a-- than 90 % of us out here think you are .
You really do think most of us out here are really , really stupid , and you so called really , really smart people know what's best for all of us . Heavy burden for you really , really smart people to carry .
Don't worry , come Nov. , help will be here .
Bill, there are Blue Dog Democrats, you know.
We are getting blamed for following the wishes of the people. No, we talked the people against obama. Wouldn't it had been easier just to talk people into electing McCain ? We must be careful with our powers. Scary man...
I say talk the people into elected our folks come November.
Is this what Steve is talking about:
"Two Democrats voted against ending debate on Wall Street reform in the Senate on Wednesday, helping defeat a motion for cloture that could have cleared the way for a final vote before the end of the week and capping off a day of stubborn opposition from all sides."
Please once and for all quite with your crap , they didn't pillory Bush , please , your blatther and spin is not worth reading when you say this pooh .
How really stupid do you think we are ? Preach to another choir .
Bill, the Democrats didn't obstruct Bush nor did they publicly pillory him as the tea parties are currently doing to Obama. The Democrats supported both wars, tax cuts, the Patriot Act and a bunch of other nonsense they normally wouldn't have. It is obvious just by the record number of cloture votes alone that the GOP is the obstructionist Party of NO!! More cloture votes have been taken in the past two years than in the entire history of our republic!! Obama's reforms are not being given a fair chance to work. You are deliberately trying to harm this Administration and by extension the American people. You will be forever remembered for this treason. The Democrats put their country before their party; the Republicans don't!!
And Congress low ratings along with obama's 41% approval rating on downward fall is racist Republican fault.
Remember how quiet and fair your group was to Bush. Just returning the favor Dee and it is working.
Seriously, there was Campaign obama and President barry. Two different people and agenda is not liked. With all but Fox kissing butt you still blame Fox.
It's the economy, stupid!
Bush and the GOP tanked the US economy so that it was sliding starting in late 2006. That plus two stupid wars made the GOP unpopular - ergo the takeover of Congress starting in 2007 and Obama starting in 2009 (campaign/election years are too early for when the elected actually can make a difference) I moved my money out of the stock market Q1 2007. The writing was already on the wall.
So the economy did a huge nose dive at the end of his campaign - all of 2008. So all the things Obama might have been able to accomplish faded into ways of keeping the economy afloat.
Everyone knows - you too - that the electorate is always grumpy during economic down times. They expect instant results with no sacrifice. They assume you can reverse a recession and erase all their bad debts so they can go back to borrowing too much and spending more than they have.
Couple that with a minority party whose primary goal is to "get" Obama - and they forgot they are paid to fix things and work instead - so that makes his job all that much more difficult. Filibuster this, stall that, water down this, lie and distort facts about that, etc....Just looking at McConnells droopy old face and Boehner's orange tan makes me realize how intransigent and disinterested in our daily lives the GOP leadership really is.
Obama has been centrist on most issues - the progressives would laugh at your claim that Obama has been hard left leaning. A "lefty" would have promoted universal health care like Medicare instead of pandering to insurance companies, would have gone on a bridge/road/highway building campaign, like Roosevelt or Eisenhower (wait - he was GOP!), would have taken all the neo-cons to court to get the Bush administration in jail for starting the Iraq war with no provocation from Iraq, would have arrested Dick Cheney for promoting his special financial interests, arrested Blackwater and all the others...I could make quite a list. The stimulus has saved millions of jobs and kept many in their homes, TARP and the other packages were bi-partisan under Bush, TARP is over 50% paid pack already, the car bailout has worked well, with GM and Chrysler paying back, and the share the government owns looking like they will be worth much more during the first IPO, etc.
So Obama is no so hard left. The public is frightened by GOP ranting and Dick Armey's efforts to enrich himself and kill Medicare and Social Security, and by the shakey state of the economy. Fixing that will take at least a decade. Obama has done the right things for openers, but lots left to do. Since Reagan we have been shipping our jobs overseas - so until corporate America becomes American again, there won't be enough jobs.
I for one think Obama has been incredibly resilient - considering the screaming, nasty, sometimes racist, disinterested in the facts, ignorant, and xenophobic atmosphere fostered by idiots like Limbaugh and Palin.
You try it.

Actually I will look at the citations to see if they are reputable. The ones I found did not support your numbers. If true, it is alarming and certainly something we, the gay community, must work to change. I don't know any gay man or lesbian that in any way encourages, supports, or who is not repulsed by the idea of sexual molestation of children.

Tex Richman
Comment1this wiki
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
[Source] |
Tex Richman is the main antagonist in the 2011 feature film, The Muppets. He devises a plan to raze the Muppet Studios and drill for oil beneath it. He is portrayed by Chris Cooper.
In the Movie
In The Muppets, Tex Richman is an oil tycoon who is the owner of Richman Oil. He plots to buy the Muppet Studios, claiming that he wants to turn it into a Muppet museum, but the truth is that he wants to destroy it and drill for oil that is underneath. He claims that he used to love the Muppets, but in reality (revealed partially in the operatic part of "Let's Talk About Me" which was never used in the film), he has never laughed and has always hated the Muppets ever since he was 10. He shows no sympathy for the Muppets and degrades them to their faces. Ironically, he has four Muppets as his "Evil Henchmen": Bobo the Bear, Uncle Deadly and Statler and Waldorf.
The deal made was that if the Muppets could not raise $10,000,000, they would lose both the studio and the Muppet name, stating that he would then give it to The Moopets.
He tries to sabotage the Muppet Telethon using several methods. First, he crashes the Muppets' car into a pole, thereby cutting off the power. He then tries to cut an antenna, but is then foiled by a reformed Uncle Deadly.
After the Muppet Telethon is over (and revealed to be a failure), he tells the "Artists Formely Known as The Muppets" to leave his Property. The Muppets leave, sad-hearted over the fact that Tex has won.
During the finale with "Life's a Happy Song", he appears begrudged that the Muppets still have a huge crowd of fans cheering them on, hinted by the way he says, "Will you please stop singing? You've already sung this song." He isn't seen again until the credits.
In the Credits
In the credits of the movie, Tex is hit in the head by Gonzo's bowling ball that was supposed to be used for his "Head Bowling" stunt in the Telethon. This injury caused Tex to actually laugh for the first time (not just maniacally, as he did several times earlier in the movie). He also had a change of heart, making the decision to give the Muppets back their studio and their name. According to a press release, this was due to a "change of heart and had nothing to do with the head injury". The Moopets were not happy and they demanded Richman to pay them back as apart of their "deal".
Early life
Not much is known about Tex Richman's early life or why he is in the oil business. During his song "Let's Talk About Me", he reveals a tiny bit about his past.
During the spontaneous musical number (in the bridge that was deleted from the theatrical release), he recalls a heartbreaking story about his 10th birthday party. He thought it was going to be a great day. But the Muppets were putting on a show (it is unclear by what he meant by "...the Muppets were there to put on a show...", they were either physically there or on TV). The other guests were laughing, but Tex himself did not know how to. Then (according to him), the guests turned around and laughed at him. Since then, he has hated the Muppets and does not understand why people find them funny.

Lancaster Researchers Say UK Should Learn From Australia's Handling of Drought
Story supplied by LU Press Office
One of the most arid continents on earth - Australia - has valuable lessons for Britain's current water shortage according to researchers.
Researchers Dr Will Medd, Dr Alison Browne and Dr Martin Pullinger from the Lancaster Environment Centre (LEC) and Dr Ben Anderson from Essex University back the Environment Agency's call for a new approach to drought and say the example of what has happened with the current drought and hosepipe ban in England is an example of why it needs rethinking.
Dr Alison Browne from Lancaster University said: "A 'hosepipe ban' pushes the responsibility onto householders, rather than emphasising the need for a linked-up drought management strategy such as addressing water consumption in businesses and industry (like carwashes), or public bodies and government, for example councils watering lawns.
"We need to involve everyone at a much earlier stage so we can encourage people from individual households to businesses to save water before a 'drought' is even declared, a longer process of communication is needed, not just an on and off switch that declares we are 'in drought' or 'out of drought'."
Dr Browne advises a more gradual approach to the management and communication of water shortages which are used in her native Australia.
"We need to prepare earlier by encouraging individuals, businesses and communities to save water even when it is raining instead of suddenly declaring a drought, and then having it withdrawn after a period of rain. In Australia, each region has between 3 and 7 different levels of water restrictions from watering the garden only a few times a week to an absolute ban on outdoor water use, and including public fountains being emptied, restrictions on watering of council gardens, and businesses being incentivised to become water efficient and/or recycle water. This means that when a critical period of a drought is over, like many parts of the south are currently experiencing, companies still can get householders, businesses to reduce their consumption but not to the extent of an 'all out' ban.
"As well as encouraging a stronger uptake of water efficient technology, there is a need to communicate more widely on the different ways that people could recycle water in the home from washing up and rinsing, the need to encourage planting of drought and weather resistant garden species, and the need for water butts and rainwater harvesting."
The researchers carried out an EPSRC/ESRC funded survey of 1800 people in the south east of England which found that a hosepipe ban will do little to save water. Initial analysis shows that this is because over a third of people have no outdoor plants or lawn to water while a further quarter of people who do water their plants wait for the rain before watering.
Dr Browne explains: "People who water their gardens may actually switch practices during a hosepipe ban so they can keep watering key plants, relying on mains water collected from the house in water cans or even using the hose to fill up the water butt to then water the garden. Less common is the switch to practices that rely on water recycled from inside the house like washing up water."

High quality 9.0-inch (23 cm) full high-definition LCD module with viewing angles of 176 degrees and luminance of 400 cd/m²
Ideally suited for portable broadcasting equipment, cameras and medical equipment
Stutensee (Germany) – Gleichmann Electronics now offers the new 9.0-inch (23 cm) LCD module, part number NL192108AC10-01D, from NLT Technologies, Ltd. (NLT). The new display module features ultra-wide viewing angles of 176 degrees horizontally and vertically, high luminance of 400 cd/m2 and full high-definition (FHD) resolution of 1920x1080 pixels.
With support for FHD resolution, an exceptionally high pixel density of 245 pixels per inch and a 103.5 µm pixel pitch, the new LCD module provides high resolution in a mid‑size amorphous-silicon (AS) TFT color LCD. Furthermore, the use of NLT's proprietary Super‑Fine TFT (SFT) technology — one of the company's core technologies comparable to In-Plane Switching (IPS) technology — reduces color shift that may occur with changes in the viewing angle.
The combination of high resolution, high pixel density and ultra-wide viewing angles allows the 9.0-inch FHD LCD module to display information, including microscopic patterns, quickly, precisely and without visual stress in a variety of viewing angles in either portrait or landscape orientation. At the same time, the display provides high quality moving images, high luminance, a wide color gamut, high transmissivity as well as clear and vivid color reproduction. These features are key requirements for use in preview monitoring and for verification of broadcasting equipment as well as in high-end display applications such as portable medical diagnostic imaging equipment.
Furthermore, the new 9.0-inch FHD LCD module achieves a wide color gamut of 72 percent (NTSC ratio), nearly equivalent to the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) standard. This produces high quality color video images that can be confirmed through a viewfinder equipped with the display. Thanks to its form factor, the LCD module can also be used in 19‑inch standard rack broadcasting studio equipment, which allows use of two displays with maximum of 9 inches diagonal.

Setting Up Office Outdoors: The Art of Less
With all this extra daylight and our now-official "spring season" status, we are admittedly spending more of our time in the office wishing we were outside instead of in. So we had an idea: this year, let's really make it happen and brave a few workdays in the Great Outdoors.
We started, therefore, where we always do: with a checklist. The goal was to create a comprehensive listing of everything needed to make an outside "office" as suitable as an indoor one. It began, of course, with the obvious (mobile or home Wi-Fi, laptop, notebook/pen combo). But a few hours and a hundred Google searches later, the list got long—and out of control (noise-reducing headphones! Anti-glare filters! Laptop cooling pads! Paperweights!). Overwhelmed and suddenly intimidated by the idea of our laptop being subjected for even a mere moment to the springtime sunshine, we turned to Joey Roth for a reality check. The industrial designer knows a thing or two about taking work outside, spending a lot of his time designing projects in the bamboo-lined backyard of his Los Angeles home.
"Working outside is more about leaving things behind than acquiring new tools," he tells us. "It's easy to mistake tools for ideas, and leaving your normal workspace helps to make the distinction. When I can, I leave my laptop inside and take only a pen, notebook, and cup of tea or coffee with me. The less I take, the more I tend to accomplish."
Like a majority of us, though, a computer and a connection are still a necessity for Roth. He explains, "90% of my work requires a computer, however, so a laptop with substantial battery life is useful." And the workspace setup that holds that laptop will vary. On most days, you'll find him using a weatherproof chair and a simple table created from an old door. But the yard itself works just as well. "I also enjoy working on the ground," he says.
For Roth, working outside acts as a source of inspiration. "I can get distracted when working, but I get distracted by the right things outside. The movement of bamboo leaves in a breeze inspires me more than the sound of my fridge." What's more, he says the benefits of working so close to nature can even perhaps help create better work.
"Work that's inspired by nature has a chance of being good; work that's inspired by other work is probably following a trend."
Consider the checklist ditched. We'll see you outside.

Let be a real matrix with nonnegative entries. is called primitive if for some we have ; is called irreducible if for all there is a such that .
(Here, for a matrix (or vector) , means that all its entries are positive (nonnegative). The matrix is irreducible if and only if the directed graph with vertices and edges whenever is strongly connected. Note that if is irreducible, then is primitive.)
The period of an irreducible matrix is the greatest common divisor of the integers for which . It is independent of the chosen.
(i) Let
. Then and .
. Define for :
(ii) For a vector , write . If , then by the triangle inequality we have . For nonzero this means . If, for some vector , we have , then is eigenvector of (otherwise ), and since we have . Now if is any eigenvector of with eigenvalue , then if is real consider , where is chosen such that but not ; now , i.e., , so is a multiple of . In the general case, both the real and imaginary parts of are multiples of . This shows that the eigenspace of has dimension 1, i.e., that the geometric multiplicity of is 1. We shall look at the algebraic multiplicity later.
(iii) We have seen . If and , then and we had equality in the triangle inequality ; this means that all numbers () have the same angular part (argument). If is primitive, then we can apply this reasoning with instead of , where , and conclude that all have the same angular part. Consequently, in this case is a multiple of a real vector and may be taken real, nonnegative. Now shows that is real, and that . In the general case, is a direct sum of primitive matrices , and if is the corresponding decomposition of an eigenvector of (with eigenvalue ), then also is an eigenvector of , with eigenvalue , for any -th root of unity .

Since has a unique eigenvalue of maximum modulus (let be the (nonsquare) submatrix of describing the arrows in between the subset corresponding to to the subset corresponding to ; then and if , then where , so that all have the same eigenvalue of maximum modulus), it follows that has precisely such eigenvalues.
(iv) Doing the above for left eigenvectors instead of right ones, we find with . If and , then . It follows that either or . Taking , or , we see that ( ). Similarly, if , then so that ; also , so . If , then so .
(v) If , , then , so . But if then is eigenvector of and and , so .
(vi) Finally, in order to prove that is a simple root of , the characteristic polynomial of , we have to show that is nonzero for . But and , and by (v) we have for .
Remark In case but not necessarily irreducible, we can say the following.
(i) The spectral radius of is an eigenvalue, and there are nonnegative left and right eigenvectors corresponding to it.
(ii) If and has eigenvalue , then .
( Proof: (i) Use continuity arguments; (ii) the old proof still applies.)

Left to right: Tanner Foust, Brian Deegan, Marcus Gronholm (photo courtesy Ford Motor Company)
Gronholm is a modest man who doesn't feel the need to whip the crowd into a frenzy. He's not a Ken Block-type showman, not a smoothly eloquent Tanner Foust-like character who likes needling his opponents in his annoyingly charming fashion, nor does he have the aggressive "what are you looking at?" persona of Brian Deegan. Even after he's won, Marcus frequently looks bewildered by the hoopla – I'm just doing what I'm paid to do.
Gronholm won the first two rounds of the 2012 season but an accident and injury in the third round, at the X Games in LA, took the Finn out of the series for the remainder of the season. And, without wishing to sound cruel, that may have actually benefited the series: Foust taking his second GRC crown attracted more attention since the 39-year-old Denver, Colo. native who looks barely more than half his age has a strong following. The fact that Foust has also competed in European Rallycross – and finished second in the 2011 ERC championship – shows that the guy once worshipped for his skills in Drift competitions and his movie stunt driving is actually a very serious competitor with a great talent.
Deegan, too. His easy transition from freestyle motocross to Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series trucks to rallycross suggests a major and very versatile talent, and if all the GRC events were held on loose surfaces, his flamboyant driving style would likely see him at the top of the points table. Block, meanwhile, just needs to add consistency to his game; anyone who's seen his famous Gymkhana videos knows the depth of his talent and car control. He also has a great deal of charisma and probably has more fans among GRC spectators than most of the other drivers combined.
If he has a rival in this department, though, it's Travis Pastrana, whose X Games performances and amazing stunts have made him a household name. Dalliances with NASCAR haven't yet diluted that, either; GRC is far closer to his daredevil métier, and he and the sport can help each other's reputations grow.
Samuel Hubinette, a successful Formula D driver, Rhys Millen – rally driver and drifter – and a trio of Brits (Liam Doran, Andy Scott and David Binks) are other drivers with top-five finishes to their name in the past year.
My criticisms are few and it should be borne in mind that this modern version of a sport that started in 1967 is only in its fledgling form right now.
• The man-made jumps should be made less of a punishment to the car and more demanding for the driver. Jumps that send a car rocketing but give ample run-off area on the other side aren't really going to separate the field's class end from its tail. Have the cars flying lower and faster and follow the jump with a rapid change of direction. The greatest rally drivers of all time have an ability to make a car land in such a way that it's set up for the next turn.
• More teams/manufacturers, please! There are a few strong teams in there, and there is variety of machinery – Ford Fiesta, Subaru Impreza, Dodge Dart, Hyundai Veloster, Saab 9-3, but there should be more. Chevrolet, Toyota, Honda and Kia should dive in ASAP. Each has compact cars it should be promoting.
• More famous drivers. If GRC is on the bill at IndyCar races, I want to see Will Power, Simon Pagenaud and Scott Dixon in there. At NASCAR races, I want to see Brad Keselowski, Kyle Larson and Tony Stewart making guest appearances. And how about Petter Solberg (currently rideless in WRC) and the semi-retired Sebastien Loeb, who won the X Games round so convincingly this year? There needs to be a strong core of drivers, and then cool guest aces.
• There needs to be fewer single-file areas – some areas of some courses are a little too reminiscent of auto-testing, so they need to be eliminated.
• More fast corners. Even I can handbrake a car around a hairpin. I want to see Gronholm or Foust in a 90mph four-wheel drift, because I can't do that and they can.
• Improved camera angles. TV coverage has been a bit hit-or-miss – the X Games round looked great, the round supporting the Texas IndyCar race didn't. GoPros mounted every which way on every car, and lower trackside cameras would capture the amazing acceleration of these beasts. If you need an example of how to do it, just watch the car chases in Ronin, directed by the late, great John Frankenheimer.
The basic product of Global Rallycross is a true thrill to watch. Let's convey that.
In part 2, we'll talk to Andreas Eriksson, the man whose Olsbergs MSE company builds the 600hp Ford Fiestas which have so far crushed the GRC field.

The Wizard of Oz on Facebook?
Warner Bros. has licensed Turner Entertainment's The Wizard of Oz as the first branded online, interactive, multi-platform social game based on the 1939 original movie.
The game is developed by Spooky Cool Lab and is currently in Beta testing on the social networking site. This 3D experience will remind you of your all-time favourite classic movie. It is said that the game is really engaging and time-consuming and may take players for about 11 hours to reach the end which is to reach the Oz with plenty of side quests!
Well, no big deal for the game geeks! The new players can go through a 45minutes of tutorial.
Bees love M&M too!
In the North-eastern France, the beekeepers found something really unusual. The bees in their hives started producing honey in blue and green shades. It was a bad news for all the beekeepers as this new colour honey could not be sold. Therefore, they investigated the cause behind the colourful honey.
It was found that the bees, instead of taking nectar from flowers, started feeding on the remnants of the coloured candy shells of M&M which were processed at the plant some four kilometres away from the bees' abode. Soon after the problem was uncovered, the management at the M&M plant and the beekeepers quickly cleaned any remains left outside uncovered. And then it was decided to cover any remains of the candy so that bees don't get attracted to the candy again!
Bacteria that turns toxic liquid into pure gold!
Researchers from University of Michigan have discovered bacteria that can turn toxic into tiny nuggets of the purest form of the precious metal — gold!
This magical experiment has been done by microbiologist Kazem Kashefi and electronic artist Adam Brown, who discovered the bacteria, Cupriavidus Metallidurans, which can feed on gold and III chloride, a toxic liquid which can excrete pure 24 carat of gold into tiny nuggets. The Michigan University has pointed out that the procedure is too expensive to be carried out on manufacturing gold on a large scale as it also needs a portable laboratory and equipment to be too expensive. The piece is currently displayed at the Prix Ars Electronica in Linz, Austria.

Inner Peace with High Power Rifle
I often think that a sharpshooter must be the calmest and most focused person.
The Reconnaissance Platoon of the 601st Brigade is a small unit in the Combat Engineering Corps. Earlier this year, they held an exercise in a densely wooded area, where they practiced combat fighting, reconnaissance and evacuating injured soldiers. They also practiced fighting underground.
But I think what they needed to practice most was the Zen of sharpshooting.

Tampa socialite Jill Kelley fighting back in Petraeus scandal
TAMPA (AP) - A Tampa socialite embroiled in the scandal that cost CIA Director David Petraeus his job has fought back after more than two weeks of silence as her attorneys released emails, telephone recordings and other material that they say show she never tried to exploit her friendship with General Petraeus.
Mrs Jill Kelley, through her attorneys, went on the attack against a New York businessman who accused her of incompetence in her work trying to set up a deal he was negotiating with South Korean companies; an attorney who accused her of name-dropping and of being a social climber; and the FBI agent who first leaked her name in connection with the Petraeus scandal.
Mrs Kelley, 37, became the focus of national media attention earlier this month after it was revealed that she was the recipient of anonymous emails from Ms Paula Broadwell, Petraeus' biographer and mistress.
Gen Petraeus, the former four-star general and top commander in Iraq and Afghanistan, resigned as CIA director on Nov 9 after the FBI uncovered evidence that he was having an extramarital affair with Ms Broadwell.

Two men pleaded innocent to heroin distributionFebruary 08,2013Two men deny heroin charges
BRATTLEBORO Two men pleaded innocent at criminal court in Brattleboro on Thursday for allegedly distributing heroin in the greater Brattleboro area.
Joshua Hartwell, 25, of Brattleboro and Julio Davila, 32, of Holyoke, Mass. were subjects of a three-month investigation by the Vermont Drug Task Force, according to Matt Birmingham of the Narcotics Investigation Unit said. Hartwell and Davila were arrested on Wednesday during a traffic stop on Interstate 91 in Dummerston.
Hartwell and Davila were each charged with selling, trafficking and possession of heroin. Hartwell is being held on $10,000 bail and Davila $100,000 because of an active arrest warrant for unrelated charges, a criminal court clerk said.
Status conferences for Hartwell and Davila have not been determined.

Behind the Scenes - Cushions
It's been a very busy few months here at Belle & Boo HQ. We have been having lots of 'new product development' meetings and then follows the exciting part of actually getting to produce some of the ideas!
The latest product in production that we wanted to share with you is our new cushion designs! As sad as we are to say goodbye to the 'My Favourite Spot' cushion collection, we're all very excited by the prospect of our new "Playtime Collection' cushions.
So Mandy has been busy drawing new artwork, I've been busy designing patterns for the reverse sides, and Nichola, Mandy and I have been knee deep in lots of printed fabric samples, binding swatches and cushion fillers!
There's been a lot of hard work put in to produce these so we are all itching to see the first samples all made up.
Here's a sneak peak at the four designs. Do you have a favourite ?
Love, Clare

A Spaghetti Western of earnings and economic data in front of tonight's Apple main course finds bulls nibbling Tuesday. As of 12:15 ET the SP-500 (SPY) is up 0.45% as day ten of the market's rally attempt takes a slight turn for the better following a testing, test of the other trader's bear flag.
Clint Eastwood would be proud with Tuesday's "Good, The Bad and The Ugly" serving of corporate confessionals. For bulls attracted to today's modest round of bargain-hunting, good reports and well-received results in Dow constituents 3M (MMM) and AT&T (T) are likely assisting. Shares of MMM are up 2.50%, while T adds nearly 3.75% and leading the Dow back above the 13,000 level and narrowly above its 50SMA. For its part and by the numbers, 3M managed a profit beat of $0.11 on earnings of $1.59, matched sales forecast on revenue growth of 2.4% and issued above-views FY12 EPS guidance of $6.35 - $6.50 versus Street views of $6.29 per share. Other good or decent enough results to inspire a bit of "Buy, Buy, Buy!" portfolio slinging include Illinois Tool (ITW) with its gain of 2.25% and above-views profit forecast and Baker Hughes (BHI) 7.50% share gusher from some deep exploratory technical drilling following a $0.06 profit beat.
In the "bad" or not good enough category of motif operandi, shares of Texas Instruments (TXN) are off 1.25% and reversing from an initial gap bid. The semi giant topped profit views by $0.03 on earnings of $0.32 per share, beat revenue forecasts narrowly on a sales decline of 8.0% and issued in-line, bracketing earnings guidance of $0.36 - $0.44 versus $0.40 for its upcoming second quarter. Coach (COH) is suffering a similar fate by its shareholders. COH stock is off 3.35% despite the luxury goods outfit issuing a two cent profit beat, in-line sales growth of 16.6% and announcing an increase of 33% to its dividend. Technically speaking, a well-tanned and aged bull has signaled confirmation of a top from a bearish flag set beneath 50SMA resistance. And in the "ugly" category of bulls wishing there was a rewind or reset button to go back to 2010 – 2011, shares of Netflix (NFLX) are off 13.75%. The fallout comes after issuing disappointing guidance, narrowly besting sales views with growth of 21% and topping Street forecasts by $0.21 but still falling short of a profit with a loss of ($0.08) per share. The report for the erstwhile growth juggernaut facing continued competition and shrinking margins saw mixed analyst reaction with Pac Crest bumping up NFLX shares to "Outperform" from "Sector Perform", Canaccord reiterating its "Sell" rating and fund manager / CNBC regular Whitney Tilson adding to his position on his belief in the company's international growth prospects.
On the officially-sanctioned economic front, good news has greeted bulls living underwater in the American Dream. New home sales for March hit an annualized 328,000 versus forecasts of 318,000, while February data saw an upward revision to 353,000. By some measures, consumer confidence came in "bad" with its narrow and slightly worse-than-expected dip to 69.2 for April versus March's 70.2 and compared to estimates of 69.5. And likely a bit more ugly, but we've seen worse, median housing prices courtesy of the Case-Shiller 20-City Index fell by a worse-than-expected -3.5% compared to forecasts of -3.4%. In those often intertwined markets of influence and likely being watched on your iPhone or iPad, it's all about the iShares Bull ETF i.e. Apple (AAPL) as investors await tonight's closely-watched and very well-played earnings release. In front of the report and one which bar none, has the potential to move the broader market like no other company today, shares are showing signs of skittish behavior with an intraday loss of 2.25% near Monday's 13.5% corrective hammer low.
In those sometimes accurate heat-seeking option markets, premiums are frothy in Apple as traders / investors brace for a larger-than-normal reaction to tonight's report. Given the stock's meteoric rise of 55% this year and $600B market cap at recent highs and traders waiting on the next, next, next big thing from Apple sans Steve Jobs, can we blame them? Theoretically and compared to past range reactions of about 2.5% to 6.25% over the past year, ATM Weeklys implieds of 95% tell us option traders collectively expect a 1SD or 68% chance AAPL will remain within 8.50% of Tuesday's close through expiration this coming Friday. For further detail on Apple, today's released Earnings Front column features additional nuts and bolts inside of Apple, just not the iPad.

Clearly to me a manager and his coaches wanted that type of player in both cases with two different general managers, and the same owner.
It is fine for the GM to support what his staff wants in players, but GM #1 and GM #2 did not do a good job in their research and obtaining of the two. Get a player with speed that can field his position well in CF and get on base, then it looks like a very good idea. (no, I am not bashing Baker) I don't think the manager is wrong for wanting a fast CF who can get to the ball, or having a fast leadoff guy that can get on base and make things happen, but, the GM needs to find those that can get on base at a higher percentage of time. We all know that.
On the money side. If it effects the financials, if it effects the budget, then Castellini or his general will be involved in those decisions. You cannot divorce the two when it comes to business.
Castellini is responsible for his words, and is responsible for selling failure to the patrons, and should not be rewarded for failure.

Perhaps we can get Romney to enact real penalties for these crimes against the public. The games they play for their own gain cause more than interruptions to progress; but destruction of countries and people's lives-EVIL.
Perhaps in the first Obama/Romney debate, Obama should explain the on-camera interviews that he had done prior to winning a senate seat, as he announced his non-American born status specifically in them; and in conjunction, his town of origin (non-U.S.) promoted his affiliation with their country and took credit for his birth. Like "fast and furious," elephants are laying end-to-end in this administration (both parties included).

Wet Loan
Definition of 'Wet Loan'
A mortgage in which the funds are obtained before all required documentation is completed. Wet loans allow the borrower to purchase property in a more timely fashion and complete the required paperwork after the transaction. Conditions surrounding the use of wet loans differ based on state laws.
Investopedia explains 'Wet Loan'
In a wet-funded mortgage, the property seller will receive funds right away. After the transfer of funds, the bank will receive the loan documentation for review. Wet loans expediate the purchasing process by allowing the sale to occur before the paperwork. However, the added benefit of fast transactions comes at the price of increased risk. Because the seller receives funds before the paperwork is approved, the possibility of fraud and a loan default is greater.

wobbly sound output but only from xbmc - pootlebumtrinke - 2011-01-05 12:16 Only just discovered thiis wonderful piece of open source software. I am running XBMC standalone on Ubuntu 10.10 64bit on a Compaq Pressario V3000 using s-video out. After some work on xorg.conf and upgrading to Dharma RC1 beta4 via PPA video play back is pretty smick. Sound is not. I'm using the analogue out on the laptop. Have tried every available combination of settings both in ubuntu and XBMC but the sound although loud enough is distorted. Sound play back via other apps is fine. Tried XBMC live on cd with the same resulting sound issue. Used the most recent Boxee Box pc software download (which I assume is XBMC) same issue. XBMC log file shows sound stream starting ok so no help from there. Anyone have any ideas. The XBMC FAQ'S and forum have little to say on sound related issues especially in linux. In theory it should just work. Ahh yes container or audio format makes no difference. FLAC and mp3 audio files sound the same as well. |

Faculty Kevin Kautenburger
This course will focus on various properties of memory as they are informed by contemporary science and philosophy via the transformation of "information, thoughts and experiences" as a process of mapping and as a condition of recording into works of art. Mapping (recording) for this course should be understood as a process of revelation, a translation of fact (reality) or imagination (memory) into dimensional representations. Mapping implies numerous spatial relationships, framing positions such as scale and physical proximity, the passage of time and the probabilistic qualities of space-time. In addition to significance of proximity when exploring and understanding space the process of mapping is also associated with journey in space or as the length of a durational event. In order to accomplish these transformations students will be able to engage and examine both physical and virtual approaches to spatial construction will be encouraged. Open to all students.
CIA representatives will be at many events this fall. We'd love to meet you and discuss your future!
