According to statutory guidelines, total funding support (direct costs, indirect costs, fee) normally may not exceed $150,000 for Phase I awards and $1,000,000 for Phase II awards. With appropriate justification from the applicant, Congress will allow awards to exceed these amounts by up to 50% ($225,000 for Phase I and $1,500,000 for Phase II, a hard cap). Applicants are strongly encouraged to contact program officials prior to submitting any application. In all cases, applicants should propose a budget that is reasonable and appropriate for completion of the research project. For details see PHS 2013-2.
For Program Announcements released prior to August 6, 2012:
For budgetary, administrative, or programmatic reasons, NINDS may decrease the length of an award and/or the budget, or not fund an application. Generally, NINDS does not fund Phase I applications greater than $350,000 total cost per year for up to 2 years or Phase II applications greater than $1,000,000 total cost per year for up to 3 years. Applicants considering a requested budget greater than these limits are strongly encouraged to contact program staff before submitting an application. For details see PHS 2012-2.
Phase IIB Competing Renewal Awards
In addition to the traditional Phase I and II applications, NINDS accepts Phase IIB SBIR/STTR Competing Renewal applications through specific opportunities that focus on the commercialization of SBIR and STTR developed technologies. These opportunities can be found on the NIH SBIR web page.
Clinical Trials
The NINDS is committed to identifying effective treatments for neurological disorders by supporting well-executed clinical trials. NINDS will not accept unsolicited SBIR/STTR applications that include clinical trials under the Omnibus solicitation. A clinical trial is a prospective biomedical or behavioral research study of human subjects designed to answer specific questions about the safety, tolerability, efficacy and/or effectiveness of pharmacologic, behavioral, biologic, surgical, or device interventions. This policy does not apply to (1) exploratory IND studies as defined by the FDA or (2) early feasibility studies of devices as defined by the FDA.
NINDS accepts and supports SBIR and STTR clinical trial applications through specific funding opportunities, which can be found on the NINDS SBIR web page. Other human subjects research can also be submitted through the Omnibus solicitation. NINDS may decline funding of any application that includes human subjects for programmatic or administrative reasons. SBIR applicants considering projects involving human subjects research are strongly encouraged to contact Stephanie Fertig or Joanne Odenkirchen (contact information provided below) within the NINDS Office of Clinical Research.

Madison - Healthcare Management
Find lifelong opportunities in the healthcare industry.
Healthcare is the only major industry that keeps on adding jobs at virtually every level.
In addition, President Obama's initiative to curb costs by computerizing records will further increase the demand for those who can apply business management and technical knowledge to a healthcare setting. New jobs will be opening in hospitals, physicians' offices, clinics, insurance companies and nursing homes. Opportunities will be best for those with a working knowledge of medical codes and terminology as well business software programs and procedures.
If you like helping people, this is the field for you.
Successful healthcare managers take great pride in their work. They feel that their efforts really do make a difference in the lives of others. Although this can be a very demanding career, it is also a very rewarding one.
A career as a healthcare manager could be right for you, if you:
- Want to help people feel better
- Have good business sense
- Are interested in the healthcare industry
- Value accuracy and trust facts
- Like making important decisions
- Are compassionate and supportive
- Work equally well alone or as part of a group
- Like clear guidelines
- Are comfortable leading other people
- Appreciate a common sense approach to problems
- Have good people and communication skills

Women Should be Tools of Change?
Will Wilkinson, as always, makes some very fine points.
TruthThroughAction is not content to communicate merely that Republicans are a disgusting caste apart, but suggests that men with the right politics deserve to be sexually rewarded, or should at least be encouraged to believe that, not only will they escape painful shunning for registering Republican (or Green or Liberartian), but that the chances are good that they will be sexually rewarded for registering, voting, being Democrat. Implicit in this message is that the bodies of faithful Democratic women are tools for securing the success of Democratic politicians and their clients. For what is the sexual life of a young woman if not a means to the greater glory of the Service Employees International Union? What is casual fornication if not a Duty to the Party.

HighCountryHighCountryHighCountryWorkforce Development Board |
» Strategic Plan Update, 2008 - 2011Building an adaptive workforce system to meet the demands of a globally competitive economy The High Country Workforce Development Board is committed to building a skilled workforce that supports regional business competitiveness. The Southern Growth Policies Board 2007 Report on the Future of the South describes key challenges for the region, including the increasing demand for skilled workers in the global knowledge economy and an ever-widening skill and academic achievement gap among today�s youth. The Board�s 2008-2011 Strategic Plan Update sets the stage for advocacy and engagement around three broad goals that respond to these issues. Our Values The High Country Workforce Development Board invests in services to our communities with both passion and compassion. We achieve our mission by setting and reaching meaningful goals while relentlessly striving to improve services. We demonstrate our values through strong leadership, relationships, vision, imagination, and unquestionable trust. The Challenge Between 2008 and 2011, jobs in the High Country�s seven-county region are expected to grow by 6%*. Yet by all accounts, the demand for skilled workers outpaces supply in key industry sectors. The anticipated increase in retirements as baby boomers leave the labor market intensifies the necessity to produce a workforce whose skills match needs of business. * Economic Modeling Specialists, Inc. Our Response The High Country Workforce Development Board�s strategic plan update builds on our earlier State of the High Country Workforce Report and supports the NC Workforce Commission�s 2007 State of the North Carolina Workforce Report. These and other findings remind us that our region must have skilled and productive people, highly competitive businesses, and innovative ideas for continued success. Our goals and strategies are designed to support regional business competitiveness by effectively aligning workforce resources to produce a skilled workforce. Shared Vision Having a shared vision is essential if our business, government, educational, and community leaders hope to meet the economic challenges that face us. The consistent message from these leaders is that a skilled workforce is one of our top priorities in achieving and maintaining global economic competitiveness. The High Country Workforce Development Board has established three standing committees, each of which is accountable for one of the plan�s three goals. By aligning our efforts with the NC Workforce Development Commission�s strategic goals and partnering with the broader community, the Board will engage key stakeholders in achieving our mission. The High Country Workforce Development Board�s 2008-2011 Strategic Plan Update provides the framework for how we will achieve our mission. We need you, our community leaders, to help us carry out this plan. Our values and priorities will guide us as we join you in continuing to build the region�s workforce skills and economic capacity.

PROTOTYPE BRUSHLESS MOTOR OBJECTIVES Top
quality brushless motor Ideally we need a feedback check on the motor to maintain constant speed, a high quality brass bush bearing …or ball raced…should give little or no noise… Especially if the motor RPM is low …even less vibrations/hum High filtered mains power supply is expensive and in some cases unreliable …new lithium polymer or NIMh batteries will give stable power. So the operating voltage of the motor needs be very low…. and the big plus is that the power supply only needs be a simple charger …like a Nokia phone charger for example (just under 4volts for the NIMh batteries) Plus in theory the more batteries you have the better Ideally we need the motor to fit inside existing space in all turntables…so little conversion is need to fit on any turntable FLOPPY CONVERSION -----has all the above----- BASIC FLOPPY DRIVE is very cheap… But the electronics controlling it are very sophisticated and the bearing is very good quality… and can be replaced if necessary Remove the top cover: Normally just a few screws …or in this case just a screwdriver to lift up the back ends remove the screws on underside to take bottom cover off Unit now needs the heads and metal floppy cage removed @ The bottom 6 screws hold the PCB onto the metal frame …Remove the 6 screws Now we have the basic PCB visible This is now getting to a stage we can almost test it… The plastic strips on top of motor, I removed them with a sharp knife (How to connect the correct pins and cheat the sensors will come later) Spindle simply pulls off J - this makes cleaning very easy Motor magnet and main spindle removed for inspection Clock timer and processor controller now flipped under the motor board and test pulley fitted on top of spindle We will be trimming the PCB smaller later neat!!! -WORKING PROTOTYPE – The 33-rpm and 45rpm 2-step pulley made from ally (will be turned down to ½ the size seen here look below) Also the PCB area will be trimmed down to much smaller And to save time I have glued the pulley on with super glue…. …The tidy up will come much later! I have already got the sizes I need for the 33 rpm…the 45-rpm I have just guess for the moment J 3.6volt NIMh battery powers this unit for days and days…current draw with the led fitted is 20ma ß- my meter must be faulty …surly J CONCEPT----- Nokia charger (or similar) can recharge the batteries… Also the unit can be used worldwide. …Used with your own phone charger J I'll need a simple charge- cut off- circuit…. the parts are cheap BEARING removed …simple but high quality bush bearing with black nylon thrust plate…. we are going to isolate the main bearing from the PCB/…but still keep it earthed to the copper on the PCB (stops static) Small amount of silicon rubber solution @ the bottom of bearing will isolate it much better @ this stage …plus the silicon will help make a seal to hold oil in our brass bush bearing PULLEY tidied up- this 1 made from easy-machined aluminium 33 and 45rpm FITTING TO THE TEST BED

Clean, modern shapes, a nod to the classics, sophisticated use of color, and an element of surprise are the fundamental principles of the Kate Spade design philosophy. Kate believes that accessories should bring color and texture to an everyday wardrobe based on each individual's sense of style. Her primary design considerations are elegance, simplicity, and enduring quality, and this philosophy applies to all accessories that Kate designs -- from handbags, shoes, and glasses to paper, beauty and home products. This design inspiration is complemented by a company culture that places great value on a genuine and gracious manner in all relationships and communications. Eyewear Collection: The Kate Spade glasses collection draws upon the colors, accents, and design concepts found in other Kate Spade product categories.

Hey everyone. Sorry for the lack of updates last night. Deadline hit, as usual. So, we'll have three wrestlers still alive for titles when the semifinals start at 9:30 am – De La Salle's Joey Moita and Luke Sheridan and Newark Memorial's Victor Pereira. The consolation round starts at 9, and if my count is correct, we still have Oakland Tech's Craig Sherman, College Park's Orry Elor, Albany's Andrew Reggi, De La Salle's Alex Abono and Liberty's Jesse Baldazo in the hunt for a medal. I'm going to get set up, and I'll have more updates soon.

My annual trip to Bakersfield for the CIF State Wrestling tournament is underway, so I wanted to give everyone a heads up that I'll be posting updates throughout the day tomorrow from Rabobank Arena. If you want me to run a live chat on Saturday, post a comment and I'll set it up if I get enough interest. I'll try to have updates on North Coast Section wrestlers, and particularly the 42 East Bay grapplers who qualified and should be down here. So, look for posts starting tomorrow morning.

Too much rain forced De La Salle and the Oakland A's to cancel today's three-game event at the Coliseum. So, if you were packing your poncho and preparing to brave the weather, no need. There are currently no plans to make any of the game's up. Unfortunately, we now must wait until May 30 to get our high school baseball fix at the Coliseum. That's the day that NCS has scheduled to play four of its championship games at the venue.

Concord High wrestler Nick Pica came home with some hardware from the NHSCA Senior Nationals in Virginia Beach, VA this past weekend. He beat Joey Grisko from New Jersey 4-3 in the third-place match.
Also of note was the performance of Team California. It won the team competition, scoring 186.5 points to beat second-place New York, which had 177.5. Team California had 16 senior All-Americans, the second-most ever by a team from CA.

Michael Dweck, scenester extraordinaire |
Michael Dweck is a perspicacious, driven hippy, if such qualities can be combined, but first and foremost he is a brilliant photographer who always tells a story with his pictures. He wants us to see beauty and sexiness, to be drawn into a world away from the humdrum lives that most of us lead. He did so with the East End's surfers in The End: Montauk, NY, then Mermaids, and now he has done it again with Cuba in his book Habana Libre.
"The most obvious similarities are simple and aesthetic—you're talking about beautiful people in striking island settings," says Dweck of the two landscapes. "But when you spend time in these places with these people, you find some more interesting connections. If you're lucky enough to live in Montauk, you're worried about urban development—you and your friends are, say, surfers, and you're worried about having to battle for waves. Now, if you're lucky enough to be a part of this clique in Havana, you have the same worries about identity and integrity: What happens if the government stops supporting the arts? What if you stop being privileged and relevant?"
Instead of resorting to the clichés of people rolling and smoking cigars, Dweck's Habana Libre portrays the keenly observant artists, writers, musicians, and models who make up Cuba's privileged creative class. (Included in the fringes of this class are photographers Alex Castro Soto del Valle and Camilo Guevara, the children of Fidel Castro and Che Guevara, respectively.) Dweck, alerted to nightly parties, performances, concerts, and the like by coded text messages titled PMM (Por un Mundo Mejor—"for a better world") almost instantly became a part of this elite circle. "When you have a camera around your neck, you invariably start meeting people," says Dweck. "I touched down in Havana not knowing a soul. Two nights later, I was dancing with 200 people between a turquoise pool and a sea wall, dancing in the summer steam with some of the world's most talented artists and women who seemed to have a third gear in their hips. I went from zero to 60, reveling in the Cuba that most Americans don't get to see, and partying in the Cuba that most Cubans don't get to see."
The limited edition Habana Libre box set ($800), of which there are only 100 and which includes a signed book and signed print, is available in the Hamptons at Bloom, 43 Madison St., Sag Harbor, 725-5940
Michael Dweck's The End: Montauk, N.Y. 2004 and Habana Libre, 2011 will appear at the Staley Wise Gallery between December 9 and January 28, 2012. 560 Broadway, 3rd Fl., NYC, 212-966-6223

Oregon Dairy's warm gesture
To the editors:
Recently, we stopped to pick up a cake we had ordered for my mother's 100th birthday from the bakery at Oregon Dairy. We checked the decorations and headed to the checkout counter.
When the sale slip was scanned, the register showed "no charge." The cashier double-checked with the bakery and was told the cake was free. We then looked at the box again and saw written on it, "Happy 100th Birthday -- the cake is on us!"
This was very touching and appreciated. What a warm gesture. Thanks to everyone at Oregon Dairy.

Terrier head coach Trent Cassan said the camp had just more than 60-players.
That gave him enough to ice three teams for sessions starting Friday with camp wrapping up with the black and orange intrasquad game Monday evening.
Having three full teams made game sessions both competitive, but also kept players fresh to better show what they might bring to the club.
The weekend was enough for Cassan and staff to cut down to about 40 players for the intrasquad game, and he said he expected about 10 additional cuts after the game setting the stage for the preseason which was scheduled to start Tuesday with the Terriers hosting Waywayseecappo of the Manitoba Junior Hockey League.
Thirteen veterans of last year's team attended the camp, with five other vets; Tayler Thompson, Kailum Gervias, Tyler Giebel, Dawson MacAuley and Tanner LeSann, attending Western Hockey League camps.
Cassan said overall the talent looked solid.
"Some guys you could see worked pretty hard over the summer," he said.
Among veterans, Cassan said he liked what he saw from some of his blueline leaders. He said Brady and Chase Norrish and Devon McMullen worked hard through the weekend.
"They're always bringing the intensity level," said the Terrier coach, adding that is showing leadership in the sense younger players see the work ethic.
One newcomer fans are interested in is Derek Falloon coming over from the MJHL in a trade with Swan River for goaltender Warren Shymko.
"Derek has showed he's got good speed," said Cassan. "He has an extra gear around the net."
With Shymko gone, and MacAuley at a WHL camp, Kale Thomson is the lone veteran goaltender.
"Kale's had a good camp. He worked pretty hard over the summer," said Cassan, noting last season when given a start he played well.
Through preseason Thomson will be given the chance to show he's ready to be the number one goaltender.
As for younger players looking to earn a spot on either the current edition of the Terriers, or in a future season, Cassan said many improved as they settled into camp. He said when a 15-year-old goes in against players 18, 19 and 20 "they get more comfortable after a couple of sessions."
As far as younger players catching their coach's eye, Cassan said several have stood out.
Forward Daylan Gatzke is a player on the Terrier list since he was 15. Cassan said the 18-year-old probably should have played some affiliated player games but playing with the Swift Current Legionnaires in the Saskatchewan AAA Midget Hockey League distance was an issue.
Cassan said Gatzke has "played physical," as a player with "good size"
Brady Anderson has turned heads too as a player who did not play AAA Midget hockey, but did play on the Saskatchewan Aboriginal team coached by former Terrier Dan McKay.
While showing skills such as good hands, Cassan said it is Anderson's desire that sticks out.
"He really wants it … You really see his determination.
On the blueline Caley Bjork from the Regina Pat Canadians AAA Midget team has shown he is a steady rearguard in the mold of former Terrier Kelly Leismeister, said Cassan.
Dallas Rossiter, a rearguard from Junior 'B' in British Columbia, is a player with size Cassan said could fit in with the team this season.
Cassan said while camp went well the final look of the Terriers is far from set.
"Things can change a bit," he said. "… There's a battle for all spots all the time."
But in general terms he does hope ultimately to build a team with certain attributes.
"You always want to be a team that can move the puck," he said, adding he hopes the team has the same ethic as last year. "… We had a team every night you knew was going to give their best effort."

Research has found that you could get salmonella from a frog.
Researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention examined recent outbreaks of a specific strain of salmonella. They found many of the sick patients were children under the age of 10, who had recently played with a pet frog.
They found many of the children became sick after indirect exposure to the frogs. A third of the children were hospitalized a result of their illness.
Researchers say amphibians and reptiles should not be kept in homes with children under the age of five or people with immune system deficiencies.

this is evidenced over the years... in mental health, modern perception and understanding is that people experience episodes of poor mental health, such as psyshosis. today these are regarded as such in the more advanced mental health circles. in the past, and unforunately in many traditional mental health services, a diagnosis of schitzophrenia was/is slapped upon these people... effectively telling them they have a life long serious mental illness, and the conditioned trust of doctors they hold, effectively makes these people suffer from lifelong mental illness!!!

In the age of internet, television, and Lady Gaga, it's easy to ignore the dazzling displays the sky gives us every night. In ancient times, however, human civilizations based their entire calendar, and thus their way of life, upon what they saw in the cosmos. While humanity's interest in astronomy has diminished over the centuries, the sky remains nonetheless spectacular.

There It Goes Again: The Bush Administration's Latest Plan to Build New Nuclear Weapons
There It Goes Again: The Bush Administration's Latest Plan to Build New Nuclear Weapons
The Bush administration's stubborn determination to prevail, whatever the costs, is evident not only in its reckless military venture in
Furthermore, when the Bush administration ignored these commitments and pressed Congress hard for funding to build new nuclear weapons -- nuclear "bunker busters" and "mini-nukes" -- Congress dug in and rejected them as totally unnecessary. With some 10,000 nuclear weapons in the
However, from the standpoint of the Bush administration, there are never enough nuclear weapons -- at least in its arsenal.
And so, administration officials are now back with another
The alleged reason for building this newly-designed hydrogen bomb is to maintain the reliability of the
Not surprisingly, the plan for the Reliable Replacement Warhead has drawn sharp criticism. "This is a solution in search of a problem," remarked Daryl Kimball, executive director of the Arms Control Association. "There is an urgent need to reduce these weapons, not expand them." Much the same thing has been said by members of Congress, who stress the provocative nature of the RRW. Despite the fact that the contract for the nuclear weapon is slated to go to the Lawrence Livermore lab in her home state of
Even more worrisome is the fact that the Reliable Replacement Warhead is just the tip of the nuclear iceberg. This nuclear weapon is merely a component of a larger Bush administration plan to rebuild the
Like the Iraq War, this will be a very expensive program. The Bush administration claims that Complex 2030 will cost roughly $150 billion. But the Government Accountability Office considers this estimate far too low and has urged Congress to require that the Department of Energy provide an accurate accounting of the real costs.
Naturally, arms control and disarmament groups are horrified by Complex 2030. Susan Gordon, director of the

In addition, the plan will certainly be seized upon by the government of
Indeed, if the Bush administration were really serious about blocking nuclear proliferation -- rather than enhancing its own nuclear weapons supremacy -- it would scrupulously abide by the provisions of the NPT.

Haboob Haiku: Arizona Tweets About Storm Safety
By editor
Originally published on Fri June 15, 2012 9:56 am
Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne. Summer dust storms in Arizona have a funny name - haboobs - but they can be deadly. This summer, Arizona transportation officials turned to poetry in their safety campaign, encouraging Twitter users to tweet haikus, like this one from Mindy Lee: Haboobs blow through town. In one instant it is dark. Pull over and wait. And here's Will Watson's: You're not a Jedi. This is not Tatooine, Luke. Pull over, man. It's MORNING EDITION.

Contest Winners for WE 07-06-12
is hot and then there is HOT and it H.O.T. here in St. Louis. The temperature was 106 degrees and then add
in the heat index it was 115 degrees. I
am complaining because it is really hot but can you imagine these temps and no
air conditioning.
heat will affect my mail schedule. I
usually walk to the post office on Tuesday but if it is this hot that might get
pushed back.
also want to say I am sorry to everyone or anyone that won a contest and did
not get their books. This was not a book
or books from me but the publisher and it happened to other bloggers so my
thought is the request and the delivery did not happen. I think I have caught up with everyone and
the books are either going to gone.
week's winners are:
Scottline (AUDIO) Come Home:MaryAnne
Drake – If the Slipper Fits: Barbara
Kelly – Death, Taxes, and Extra-Hold

How has hemoglobin evolved? What organisms have hemoglobin? What other proteins are related to hemoglobin? What variants are produced at different stages of mammalian development? How is this controlled? What is the significance of these variants?"
Makeup exams, labs, or presentations:
Makeup exams will only be scheduled if the student has a bona fide
medical excuse, religious conflict, family tragedy, or College-sanctioned event
that prevents the student from being present on the scheduled day of the exam
or presentation. Medical excuses will require the student to provide a written,
dated notice from a physician explaining the student's absence from the
scheduled exam on the next class day after the absence.
Policy on cheating and plagiarism:
From the 2009-2010 Lycoming College Academic Catalog: The College assumes that students are
committed to the principle of academic honesty.
Students who fail to honor this commitment are subject to dismissal. Procedural guidelines and rules for the
adjudication of cases of academic dishonesty are printed in The Student Handbook.
Class participation:
There will be multiple opportunities
to contribute to the success of the class this semester, such as asking
questions, answering questions, brainstorming sessions or problem
solving activities. To reward your active participation, final averages may be
adjusted by up to 1% at the discretion of the instructor, based on a students'
attitude, engagement, effort and participation in class.
Daily "Prep Papers" are due at the beginning of each class (except for exam or lab days). Any instances of academic dishonesty with prep papers (e.g. turning in the same prep paper on multiple days or two people turning in identical, or obviously copied & edited prep papers) WILL result in a loss of ALL prep paper points for the semester. Prep papers may be submitted for excused absences with proper documentation.
Lycoming College provides academic support for students who have been diagnosed with learning, physical, and psychological disabilities. If you have a diagnosed disability and seek academic accommodations, please contact Mr. Dan Hartsock, Sophomore Dean and Co-ordinator of Services for Students with Disabilities. Mr. Hartsock will help you arrange for academic accommodations in the classroom. You may contact him as follows: email@example.com; 570-321-4294; Snowden Library, 3rd floor, ARC.

Sunday mornings are a real highlight for us as a Church, a time when we come together to enjoy God as a whole family. We worship through singing, pray, and respond to teaching from the Bible. Our meetings usually include our children and young people, expressing our aim to truly be a church family. They then leave the main meeting to enjoy their own fun-filled teaching time, through dedicated, age-relevant meetings.
Sundays meetings start at 10.30 am and generally end around 12.15pm. You are welcome to join us from 10am when we serve tea, coffee and pastries – this is great opportunity to chat to meet with us and let us answer any questions you may have. Come and have breakfast with us!
On the second Sunday of each month we have a special celebration – Called a "Guest Service". People are encouraged to bring guests to this service.
This service usually includes a baptismal service – when we baptise believers, a vital step after becoming a Christian. We hear first-hand from each person what God has done in their lives, their very own journey of faith. These are special times, and ideal if you want to come along and join us for the first time.
We would love to welcome you at one of our Sunday services. With passionate worship, inspiring Bible-based teaching and a great opportunity to be together with friends and family, these are popular and uplifting gatherings. Don't forget to bring along your family and friends

i was keying in reply to LiveJournal comment - you know, that kind of HTML mail notify with a form to type reply into. Whe i was editing text, i decided to put some part of it into another thread. So i selected the text and pressed "Cut" - Shift+Del. Unexpectedy the whole message disappeared. I think M2 is very wrong here.If nothing is focused then surely it has to handle Shift+Del and kill the letter. But it should not pre-catch the keypress. And HTML tex impu field should not let keypress event bubble out of it! Some text should be cut into clipboard - and that is all. When text entry is focused - there is no reason Cut hotkey would be handled by globa window rather than text entry widget. --ÐÑÐÐÐÑÐÑÐÑÑÑ ÑÐÐÐÐÑÑÐÐÐÐÑÐ ÐÐÑÑÐÐÑÐ ÐÐÐÐÐÑ ÐÑÐÑÐÐÑÐ Opera: http://www.opera.com/mail/ |

When to Go to Tibet
When to Go to Tibet
Choosing when to visit Tibet is a matter of balancing your tolerance for extreme weather with your tolerance for tourist hordes. The busiest months are July and August, but pleasant weather is common from May through October. However, bear in mind that Tibet can be abruptly closed to non-Chinese travelers during national holidays, such as the May 1st holiday and the October holiday. If you come at the beginning or end of the high season you'll have plenty of breathing space to take in the golden roofs of Tibet's monasteries and the icy peaks of the Himalayas. You may want to schedule your trip to coincide with one of Tibet's colorful celebrations, including the Birth of Buddha Festival (end of May), the Holy Mountain Festival (end of July), the Yogurt Festival (August), and the Bathing Festival (September). If you travel to Tibet in the off-season, many hotels and restaurants may be closed. Whenever you visit, warm clothing, sunglasses, and sunscreen are essentials for the high-altitude climate.

Questions related to the GTD approach, including best practices and common tools
GTD® is the popular shorthand for "Getting Things Done®", the groundbreaking work-life management system and book by David Allen that transforms personal overwhelm and overload into an integrated system of stress-free productivity.
Essentially email is no different than paper or verbal communications with the same weaknesses if things are unfocused, unclear, and/or unnecessary. Because of its accessibility, email has just magnified those problems when those standards in communication are allowed. The key is having a culture and relationships that have established (really) the best-practice standards, such as communicating on purpose, while respectful of others' time and attention. Then, it's a lot easier to ensure that happens within all the media, including email.

Leaders: Trust Can Change Everything(posted: 07/31/2012) Building trust is one of the most critical challenges facing our society today. It is what we as leaders should all be about.
It affects us on all levels: societal, institutional, organizational, relational, and personal. And It has a perpetuating effect - Lack of trust begets an even greater lack of trust. Research shows:
What Drives Employees Away?The number one reason people leave their jobs is a bad relationship with their boss. In my years of work with 360-degree assessments I have found that the question, "Do you trust your boss?" is one that elicits true concern from employees. This is the one question that is more predictive of team and organizational performance than any other question we ask. Trust is the glue that bonds great people, processes, and environments; it ensures long-term success. In life and in business, relationships are important, but they are empty unless they are established with trust and based on trust.
There are 10 primary drivers of employee engagement. Trust people have in their leader is the #1 driver. When the employees trust an organization's leaders, and the leaders create a culture of trust, everyone becomes trustworthy and then people can operate synergistically and non-defensively. Trust enables employees to work quickly and efficiently to achieve great results for their employers. Implementing Trust and EngagementTrust and engagement are twin engines; as you increase trust it drives engagement. Together, the two forces create a positive, upward cycle.
If people don't trust you, they won't engage no matter how many other drivers are working. Employees need to trust that you have their best interests in mind. When you move the needle into the green on trust, you will increase engagement.
First, as always, start with yourself:
In my presentations, I often ask audiences to consider the question, "Who do you trust?" A friend? A work associate? Your boss?
Then I ask them, "Who trusts you?" According to Patrick Lencioni's fabulous book, "The Five Dysfunctions of a Team," the definitions of trust include:Benevolence:
Trust Starts with YouIt is about our willingness to be vulnerable, our credibility, and behavior. Do what you say you will do, and follow through with actions. Make a commitment and keep it.
Has your team built a high-trust culture? Build it YourselfTrust is tangible, measurable, and most importantly, something that we can build more easily than we think.
It is possible not only to build trust, but also to restore it. I have seen it done over and over again. Obviously, there are some circumstances in which trust has truly been damaged beyond repair or where others may not give us a chance to restore it, but I am convinced that for most of us, these circumstances are few. I believe our ability to restore trust is much, much greater than we think.
Trust is at the heart of a functioning, cohesive team. Patrick Lencioni's organization has an incredible assessment that I have very effectively utilized to help companies learn to use the Five Dysfunctions to transform their organizations. If you are interested in learning more, please Contact Me and let me know any way I can further assist you with your interests and questions. How would you rate yourself on these behaviors? How would your team rate you? Are you believable? Are you credible? Are you someone your people can trust? Are you someone you can trust? Has your team built a high-trust culture? When are you going to start, and what are the first steps you are going to take?

Under the radar
Even near the well-monitored Grand Banks waters, ships do venture inside the iceberg limit, where conditions can be dicey. (The crew of the Titanic had in fact been repeatedly warned of ice in the area by nearby ships before it sank.) Modern ships have radar and sonar to help detect hazards, but those systems are not always effective, especially for smaller bergs in bad weather.
"This is where the smaller pieces are perhaps a bit more dangerous," says Luc Desjardins, senior ice and iceberg forecaster at the CIS. "Even a smaller-size iceberg that could easily be sighted with our reconnaissance program could actually be missed by a ship's radar, depending on ambient conditions." (In ideal weather airborne reconnaissance can pick up the smallest icebergs, known as growlers, which are about the size of a grand piano.)
To make matters worse, visibility over the Grand Banks is often poor. "The joining of the cold Labrador currents and the warm Gulf Stream water currents make a clash and produce quite a bit of fog," Desjardins says. "So visual detection can be challenging."
The ice threat has not been not eliminated, but it has been greatly diminished by modern surveillance. "While you can still run into it, it's going to be a lot harder to do that," says Lt. Garrett Meyer, chief of the incident management division for the Boston sector of the U.S. Coast Guard. "You see things a lot better than what things were like 100 years ago."
Many rescue vessels
In the event of a disaster, authorities today certainly have more resources than they did in the early 20th century. The Coast Guard has a variety of response vessels, from harbor patrol boats to oceangoing 115-meter cutters and search aircraft, including the HH-60 Jayhawks, which are "basically a search-and-rescue version of the Army's Black Hawk helicopters," Meyer explains.
But the nearest assistance in the open ocean is often not a rescue vessel but a passing commercial or military ship. A voluntary reporting system begun in 1958 called Automated Mutual Assistance Vessel Rescue, or AMVER, helps locate nearby vessels in the event of an emergency. In 1912 the notification of a nearby vessel was a crapshoot; the nearest ship to the Titanic did not have its radio operator on duty when the doomed liner radioed for help. (It also remains unclear whether that ship saw the distress rockets fired by the Titanic's crew.)
In March of this year a damaged 11.5-meter sailboat was rescued northwest of Cuba by the cruise ship Norwegian Star after the Coast Guard used AMVER to determine that the liner was only 50 kilometers from the stricken boat. The sailboat's position had been relayed to authorities by an emergency radio beacon. "Anything we can get on scene quickly is an asset to us," Meyer says. "The person in the water doesn't care what color the boat is, or who's driving it. They just want to get out of the water."
With a suite of navigation and communication technologies—GPS, radar, AMVER, sonar—at their fingertips, today's ship captains have far more resources to help them avoid and mitigate disasters than did the crew of the Titanic. But the Costa Concordia disaster in January, which claimed at least 30 lives, serves as a tragic reminder that all the technology in the world cannot completely prevent catastrophe. "When it comes down to it, you can't eliminate all accidents," Meyer says. And as far as threats to safety on the water, he adds, "complacency is probably going to be the biggest one."

The Zach Bohnenkamp & John Osgood are going back to Bristol, England for Upfest 2011 and they are once again raising some funds for travel expenses. They have created a limited edition, hand screen-printed 3-color piece for $35 donation. Only 50 of the prints were made and each one is numbered and signed by both artists. If you would like your print mailed to you, please provide your mailing address in the "notes" section during check-out.
About the Festival:
Upfest is the largest urban mural festival in Europe and it's growing bigger every year. Last year over 200 artists from across the globe came together for a weekend of 'Live' Urban painting spanning all types of street art and Illustration. This year they are expecting close to 300 artists participating.
Here's their mural from last year's event…
In addition to the limited edition prints, Zach & John are also raising funds by doing "Mini Murals": For those clients who are keen to have a mural, but on a tight budget, we now have Mini Mural pricing. A Mini Mural is an 8′ x 8′ mural or similar size that is priced at $500 + tax.
The difference between a mini and a custom is:
- wall must be prepped
- no detailed sketches included
- client chooses a design based compilation of existing sketches or murals
- colors are based on paints already in the artists supplies
- no finishing clear coat.
Here's an example of a recent mini they did for a client's son's room:
