DU Trial Team Advances to National Semifinals
Third-year students, Chris Wilcox and Ashley Opfer, continued with their SCOL Trial Team history-making campaign when they competed at the 2012 National Trial Championships in Austin, Texas, on March 21st through 25th. The National Trial Competition begins each year with 280 teams representing schools from across the U.S. The top ten percent (10%) of the teams (28 teams total) emerge from Regionals and advance to the National Trial Championships. After a multiple-year Nationals drought Nationals, DU broke the seal in 2010 and 2011. This year, both DU squads won at Regionals, putting two DU squads among the top 28 in the nation and advancing the SCOL to Nationals for the third year in a row. Wilcox and Opfer accrued a perfect Regional record of 5-0, without dropping a single ballot.
DU had never previously placed in the Top 12 at Nationals. This year, in Austin, all of that changed. At Nationals, Wilcox and Opfer continued their march. They advanced through the three qualifying National rounds with a perfect 3-0 record, and also through the Quarterfinals (4-0) – only dropping 1 ballot through all of it. It was finally in the Semifinals that Wilcox and Opfer lost in a split-ballot decision to the trial team from Baylor's law school (a Top 5 Advocacy Program in the U.S.), thus placing DU in the Top 3 schools at Nationals. Congratulations to both Chris and Ashley on a wonderful law school trial advocacy career.

Net Earnings Fell But Made Expectations at Jack in the Box
Read More About
Jack in the Box Inc. (NYSE: JBX), operator and franchisor of Jack in the Box and Qdoba Mexican Grill, reported net earnings of $16.3 million or 44 cents per diluted share, for the second quarter ended April 13. Though earnings matched expectations, they were down more than 10 percent over the same period in the previous year.
Same store sales at Jack in the Box restaurants decreased 4.3 percent compared with a 0.3 percent decrease in the prior year. The company said sales were affected by weak economic conditions in key markets, competitive discounting, poor weather, and soft sales in military personnel dominated markets.
The bright spot in the announcement was at Qdoba Mexican Grill, a fast-casual chain of 92 stores purchased in January 2003. Though no figures were given, the company said Qdoba achieved another double digit increase in same store sales compared with the same quarter a year ago.
In addition, double digit increases in same store sales were said to have occurred at the 12 store chain of Quick Stuff convenience stores. Neither Qdoba nor Quick Stuff contribute materially to Jack in the Box financial results.
Consolidated company restaurant sales were flat at $418 million. Total consolidated revenues grew 3.3 percent to $463 million.
The company opened 20 Jack in the Box restaurants and one company and 6 franchised Qdoba grills during second quarter. A $90 million share buyback authorization was completed with the purchase of the final $14 million authorized.
Jack in the Box reiterated its fiscal 2003 earnings estimate of $1.97 to $2.01.
Investors were pleased with the news and pushed share prices up 4.5 percent to close at $21.18.

I was sickened this morning to hear that one of our soldiers shot 9 adults and 7 children in Afghanistan. I was also sickened to hear about the burning of the Koran, as well as seeing pictures of US soldiers urinating on the dead Afghan bodies.
But with hate talk that is constantly being spewed by Rush Limbaugh, that is actually being broadcasted to our soldiers via Armed Forces Radio, it's no wonder some of our soldiers act out.
Rush Limbaugh should not be allowed to spew hate from our own military's network.

Cavium Networks acquires MontaVista Software
Mountain View, Calif. – November 10, 2009 – Cavium Networks, a leading provider of highly integrated semiconductor products that enable intelligent processing for networking, wireless, storage and video applications, today announced that it is has signed a definitive agreement to acquire MontaVista Software for $50 million.
Cavium Networks? Not a single person I know had hear that name before. Cavium now suddenly a bigger player against the likes of TI, Freescale, Broadcom, Marvell, and Intel.
Cavium is known principally for its MIPS64-based Octeon, Octeon Plus, and new Octeon II system-on-chips (SoCs), which primarily target networking and wireless infrastructure applications, as well as storage and industrial applications. More recently, Cavium announced an "Econa CNS3xxx" SoC family with single- and dual ARM11 cores clocked at up to 700MHz. The Econa chips, offer over ten multimedia and networking acceleration engines, a Linux SDK, and claimed power consumption of under a Watt.
Cavium lists some of MontaVista's major customers as:
- Carrier Grade Linux -- Alcatel-Lucent, Cisco, Ericsson, Fujitsu, NEC, Nokia-Siemens, NTT, Motorola, Samsung
- Consumer Electronics -- Sony, Samsung, and Philips
- MID and mobile vendors -- NEC and Garmin
- Industrial Automation vendors -- HP, Kyocera-Mita, and Fuji Xerox
- Notebooks -- Dell
Probably now we could see Cavium / MontaVista as a competitor to Intel / Wind River. I'm watching with great interest.
In my opinion Montavista was the last bulwark of the embedded software development, the last really big company selling only software and living on pure software services (except for my company of course, which is tiny though).
This is the final confirmation that the software is a commodity for the benefit of producers of hardware, or whatever else except software itself.

Enterprise resource planning
Grow with Your SoftwareI recently moved to a new house. Besides the joy of searching for items after the move – how did the PlayStation and its remote get put into different boxes? – other common tasks required my attention. I had a list of companies that needed my new address. I made appointments for fixing smaller problems not addressed during the inspection. I also had to figure out my new route to the office, the new gym, and the grocery store. (more…) |
Can your SMB Professional Service firm manage growth without an ERP system?Enterprise Resource Planning – or ERP systems – are well known for their ability to help growing manufacturing and distribution companies manage sales, inventory, and finance. But what about project based businesses like professional services companies? Can those SMBs benefit from an ERP system as well? (more…) |
Rapid ERP for Customers of All SizesSmall and medium sized businesses (SMBs) use software of all kinds to run their operations, communicate with one another, improve customer service and sales, and analyze their business profits and performance. Software is everywhere, and the software jargon we use for software that runs the business is called "enterprise resource planning" or "ERP" software. (more…) |
The Value Of Tightly Managing Your Subsidiary EcosystemBy improving the metrics in the entire order-to-cash cycle across the subsidiaries, organizations can free up valuable cash that can be used to fund growth. Large enterprises need to increase the velocity and efficiency of their order-to-cash cycle within their subsidiary network, which can each reach a count in excess of 1,000 subsidiaries for Fortune 500 companies.

Do small and medium enterprises need sophisticated SRM software?For a lot of fast growing small businesses and midsize companies the procurement processes that once worked well when the company was small may now seem slow, error prone, and inefficient.

Taking Care of the Animal Health BusinessWhen you think of Greeley, Colorado you might think of the noted author James Michener who studied and lived here for several years in the 1930s.

China: the Business one Development HotSpotReporting live from TechEd/Sapphire Beijing: Jennifer Schulze As a first time visitor to China, I had no idea what to expect from SAP SAPPHIRE/TechEd Beijing. I arrived and quickly became part of the crowd wave at the China National Convention Center – at least 10,000 strong — all ready to hear about what SAP is doing and eager to learn. Everything here is big, the show venue, the crowd and the level of energy. Even if I was lost in translation much of the time, my time here confirmed this audience is serious, has done their research and is ready to talk real business. (more…) |
SAP Mobility @ Madrid: Is it for SMEs too?Recently I had the opportunity to speak with SAP's Senior VP of Mobile Strategies, Nick Brown to get a preview of the "mobility" announcements planned for SAPPHIRENOW + SAPTechEd, co-located in Madrid this week. As anyone that follows SAP knows, mobility is one of its three hottest topics, the other two being cloud and in-memory computing. Since May 2010 when SAP announced its intended acquisition of Sybase, the mobility buzz has been about an integrated platform and application story. (more…) |
SAP Engages SMEs with Customer AnalyticsA lot has been written lately about moving from transactional systems to engagement systems, including one of my own blog posts. There is something to be said for better engagement with customers, but I don't see this as a "from-to" transition. Recording transactions isn't optional. Whatever tool you use to create your system of record (whether it is ERP or accounting applications or something else) is a necessary foundational tool and some Small to Midsize Enterprises (SMEs) struggle to provide that solid foundation.

Jupiter, the king of the Roman gods, is one of mythology's outstanding and most powerful figures. Interestingly enough, the planet which is named after him is the largest in the entire Solar System -- a lasting reminder of Jupiter's greatness. Jupiter was important in a time when Romans were worshipping Greek-like gods and goddesses, immortal and tremendously enhanced versions of men and women; for a brief summary of Roman religion, consult our timeline. Throughout, you will find several words derived almost directly from Latin, the supposedly "dead" language that provides the basis for over half of all English words -- incredible!
Jupiter was the king of the Roman gods, the Roman equivalent of the Greeks' god Zeus. In the beginning, he was Saturn's son (sun?) and king of the sky and heavens, worshipped as the god of thunder and lightning, but later he overthrew his father and became chief of the Roman gods. To the people of Rome, Jupiter served two important functions:
Jupiter was, in the Greek tradition, the Romans' supreme god and he was given many of Zeus's same traits in literature. He ruled over the gods, convening (convenire = to convene) conferences in his large, lavish palace, which was built by Vulcan, the Roman god of fire.
Using lightning bolts to kill sometimes three and four at a time, Jupiter was always asserting his authority over other gods and over the low mortals. In one respect in particular, Jupiter was of great importance to astronomy, supposedly putting mythical characters into the sky after their deaths. We still remember these myths today, though they are told as many different accounts, and Jupiter's mythological work shows up everywhere in astronomy -- every time we speak of a constellation (stella = star) or planet!

TIFFIN, Ohio—The Heidelberg University men's soccer team will play Allegheny (Pa.) College and St. Vincent (Pa.) College on Friday and Saturday, Sept. 9-10 at the Wilmington Kiwanis Classic at Wilmington College. Both matches begin a 5 p.m.
The Student Princes are coming off a 1-1 tie against Defiance College, which visited Heidelberg on Tuesday.
After a deadlocked first half, senior three-time All-Ohio Athletic Conference forward Mike Harling (Manchester, England/Holy Cross) broke a scoreless game in the 64th minute when he received a right-side cross from sophomore defender Erik Furst (Columbus/Upper Arlington) to net his first goal of the season.
Defiance tied the game in the 69th minute and neither team could gain an edge offensively for the remainder of regulation or two overtime periods.
After two matches, the Berg stands 0-1-1. Junior 2010 second-team All-OAC goaltender Ryan Smith (Roanoke, Texas/Keller) logged 214 minutes in goal, has made seven saves and allowed two goals.

Hello all,
Have been a HSM and MWS subscriber for a couple of years now and have read the mail here off and on for a year or so. I have a few hundred basic questions about machining that I am sure will bring a smile to many of your faces. I'll start with just one. I just received a very nice follower rest for my craftsman 6" lathe but I really don't understand how it is supposed to work.
Once I make the first cut, the jaws will no longer be in contact with the work piece. Does this mean that I have to readjust the jaws after each cut?

JACKSON -- House members approved legislation Tuesday that would create 12 Mississippi charter schools, one in each congressional district, which would be established only if parents of children attending the existing schools ask for it.
The measure, which passed on an 88-30 vote, was sent back to the Senate, where it had passed earlier, to consider changes in each bill.
The legislation likely will end up in a House-Senate conference committee to hash out differences.
Charter schools generally are seen as a way to improve the educational opportunity for children in failing schools.
Supporters of the legislation noted that Mississippi traditionally ranks at the bottom of states in educational achievement and has 211 schools that are categorized as failing or at risk of failing.
House members amended the Senate bill so that so-called innovative schools would be established.
Parents would have to request those schools, which would operate with the same state and local funds that traditional schools use, by a majority vote by parents of children attending the schools.
A public hearing then would be held.
The state Board of Education would have to approve the petitions before the charter schools could be established.
"This is the parents saying our schools are failing, and we want to do something about it," said Rep. Cecil Brown, D-Jackson and chairman of the House Education Committee.
Under the House legislation, charter school students would be taken from the existing school zone, and any parents who do not want their children to attend could send them to other schools in the district.
Any remaining openings would be filled through a lottery of students from the school district, Brown said.
The so-called innovative schools could be set up only after an existing school is reported as failing or at risk of failing for three years.
Once approved by the state Board of Education, parents would select a new local management board comprised of five parents.
The management board would hire a principal or a management company that has operated successful similar schools.

"Butterworth is slightly impatient with this chicken and egg question - which comes first, zeal or hard work? He says that "if, for whatever reason, you start working hard at mathematics when all your classmates don't, then the teacher is going to favour you, so you're going to get external rewards, and you're going to get the internal rewards of being able to do something rather well that your mates aren't so good at, and so you'll start off a virtuous circle of external rewards, internal rewards, you work a bit harder, you get even farther ahead of your classmates, who aren't actually putting in the time. So it wouldn't be surprising that if random people who for some reason select to pursue maths on the whole get rewarded because they are going to be better than their peers."

It Can Be Done
Just beating the rain. 6:00 PM. Photo: JH.
Wednesday, September 19, 2012.
The weatherman forecast big rainstorms and even tornado warnings, and from early morning to late afternoon, the skies were heavy and grey, but no precipitation.
Over on 72nd and Lexington at Archivia
at 6 PM, they were holding a booksigning for
Amanda Nisbet
and her new book "Dazzling Design" and praying that it wouldn't be rained out (or tornadoed).
Archivia at last night's booksigning for Amanda Nisbet and her new book "Dazzing Design."
Amanda Nisbet with "Dazzing Design."
Nisbet's parents Mr. and Mrs. Travers.
The irrepressible Mario Buatta coming in just before the big rain.
I left the house about ten to seven with umbrella, in black tie, headed for Cipriani 42nd Street for the annual
New Yorkers for Children
The raindrops began falling gently
as I hit the street. And then just as a cab pulled up to take me, it started. We immediately got on the FDR Drive at 79th Street – bumper-to-bumper – and then down it came -- a deluge, practically blocking out all vision through the windshield. And a traffic jam ... because, aside from the rains: Mr. Obama was in town to a fund-raiser somewhere on the East Side and then to the
show. Presidential corteges and the "security" logistics close off entire streets and avenues frustrating all traffic throughout the city.
Half an hour on the FDR from 79th to 49th because of Obama in town and the downpour.
Made worse by the rains, we crawled, and stalled, and crawled some more. What usually would take three to four minutes on the FDR took 25. Streets were flooding. I was dreading sloshing around in my dress slip-ons before I got into the dry Cipriani hall. However, my clever, patient cabbie navigated his car to deliver me right to the door. All I had to do was make the jump across the three foot wide torrent by the curb. Which I did. Whew.
Lex and 42nd Street downpour.
Inside the great (65 foot high ceiling) hall, the rain was coming down so hard that
people had to raise their voice to be heard over it. Called for six-thirty, the crowd had assembled. And it was some crowd. The great hall (which had been built in 1921 to house the Bowery Savings Bank for several decades) was set up for several hundred guests.
This was an awesome and inspiring evening, proof positive of the power of goodness and the bounties of initiative and self-reliance. I happened to attend the inaugural benefit of New Yorkers for Children about fifteen years ago, invited by my friend
Beth DeWoody,
held at the Chelsea Piers, a good group but much smaller.
New Yorkers for Children
had been an idea of
Nicholas Scoppetta
, who at the time was the (31st) Fire Commissioner of the City of New York.
The Goodness. Mr. Scoppetta had been in foster care as a child. He knew what it was like to come of age in foster care and subsequently be turned out of the system on one's own with no back up support. He wanted to find a way to help those who came after him.
The entrance to last night's gala.
At the first benefit he was joined by, among others in organizing it,
Susan Burden, Oscar de la Renta
, Beth DeWoody
, Dayssi Olarte
de Kanavos
as well as others who've slipped from my memory of that moment. Their objective was to reach out and help young people plan their lives and continue education to prepare for being out in the world. On their own. With no family, no center, to hold them.
Initiative and Self-reliance. Last night was a tribute to its great success
. We were treated to the witness of several of its recipients who spoke about their lives in foster care and afterwards. There are not many charitable events where the evening is entirely made up of speakers and the audience actually
Usually people lend their attention for the first few minutes. But after that, it's a competition between the rostrum and the diners. Not at the New Yorkers for Children, however.
There was an air of celebration in the room. Hope and Affirmation. The guests dressed for a formal occasion. The women were beautifully turned out, and the men were in black tie. Cipriani serves a great signature dinner: a salad of
Asparagus, Mushrooms, Artichokes, Fava Beans, String Beans, Parmesan and Whole Grain Cracker
, followed by a hefty four inch thick
Individual Prime Roast Filet of Beef with Perigourdine Sauce, Farro with Zucchini and Corn and a Bundle of Baby Carrots tied with Leek
and for dessert,
Zabaglione Cake with Fresh Strawberries, Cipriani Chocolate Cake with Tahitian Vanilla Bean Ice Cream
Zhanna Raymond and Brentin Brown, NYFC participants who were emcees of last night's gala.
Once seated for dinner, the evening was opened by
Zhanna Raymond
Brentin Brown
, both graduates of the NYFC programs. Both have previously shared their history of the trauma and despair leading up to and being placed in foster care. However, last night at the podium we saw two self-possessed, dynamic individuals, who with the assistance and support of NYFC, are out in the world pursuing their educations and careers.
Ms. Raymond and Mr. Brown serving as emcees introduced
Crystalann Rodriguez,
who last year told us her story of a childhood of serious abuse and the ensuing years in foster care. She explained how the support of NYFC had not only assisted her continuing her education but also coming to terms with her personal situation, giving her a self-confidence and attitude about her life that she had never had growing up. She also added that she had been treated to a full makeover by M-A-C Cosmetics and what a pleasure it was, before coming on stage to introduce the first honoree of the evening,
John Demsey
Crystalann Rodriguez introducing honoree John Demsey.
Honoree John Demsey and Aerin Lauder.
Mr. Demsey is Chairman of M-A-C AIDS Fund and Group President, the Estee Lauder Companies where he oversees a wide portfolio of Lauder brands including
Estee Lauder, M-A-C Cosmetics, Tom Ford Beauty, Prescriptives, Bobbi Brown, Jo Malone, La Mer,
. Through the sales of VIVA GLAM Lipsticks and
the M-A-C AIDS Fund has raised nearly $250 million.
John Demsey, also active in several other charitable organizations, is a very popular yet unassuming, quiet spoken fellow on the social circuit, known for his kindness, generosity and friendship. He shared with us his first attendance at these dinners and how impressed he was with the work of NYFC and especially its graduates.
Following his acceptance, another NYFC participant,
Jermaine Christian
took the podium to introduce the other honoree of the evening,
Justin Tuck
of the New York Giants.
Jermaine Christian introducing Justin Tuck.
NY Giant's Justin Tuck telling the audience how he became involved with New Yorkers for Children.
Jermaine Christian, like his confreres, told his story and his finding NYFC which has supported him through thick and thin to the point where he is now an Economics major at NYU. (Cheers from the crowd!) What is amazing (and heartening) about the NYFC participants is their resolve and their resilience. Mr. Christian's background, which was sad and tragic, was recounted frankly, but by a young man full of enthusiasm and commitment to his academic and professional pursuits. You could also tell he was honored and delighted to introduce Mr. Tuck.
Justin Tuck, if you didn't know, was raised in Kellytown, Alabama
, a town known as "Tuckville" to many of its citizens because of the 150+ Tuck family members living in the community of 700 people. He told us how fortunate he was to have a mother, father, uncle, siblings (six), cousins who always provided him with a strong support system and secure background to go out in the world.
Two NYFC Spirit awards recipients introducing Brian Fleurimond.
North Shore-LIJ Health System NYFC 2012 Spirit Award recipient Brian Fleurimond.
When he was introduced to NYFC, he was amazed at what its young participants just out of foster care, with none of the advantages he had, could do with the NYFC support. Both he and his wife
(who is now a board member) have been active in helping children overcome illiteracy in his hometown as well as in New York and New Jersey.
The final award of the evening, the North Shore-LIJ Health System NYFC 2012 Spirit Award, introduced by two former recipients, was for
Brian Fleurimond,
a 21-year-old sophomore majoring in Criminal Justice and minoring in Social Work at SUNY – Genessee Community College in upstate New York.
Mr. Fleurimond gave a powerful speech about his life. When he was nine, his mother, who always came to pick him up after school, didn't appear. When he and his brother got home, they found her on the kitchen floor, dead. Murdered. By whom and why, was never to be known. Without a word of explanation or preparation, he and his siblings (two brothers and one sister) were placed in foster care.
Marc Cohn entertaining last night's guests after the awards presentations.
His journey from that loss took him to several foster homes. In school he was a captain of his soccer, baseball and basketball teams, teaching him leadership at an early age. But by his senior year in high school he thought his only option was to drop out of school and look for a job.
A trip to a local college sponsored by his foster care agency, however, made him realize that he wanted to go to college. He enrolled in an alternative high school program where he could work during the day and go to school at night. He graduated with perfect attendance, a Regents diploma and a citizenship award.
After the speeches,
Jamie Niven
of Sotheby's conducted an auction and an opportunity to sponsor a student in foster care to participate in the NYFC
Guardian Scholars Program
for one year -- $10,000. This was followed by a Special Musical Performance by

The message of the New Yorker for Children evening is
it can be done. Young people facing the world, against so many odds, with the care and interest of others, can progress, make and take responsibility, improve their lots in life and show us all the way to a much better world than what is presented to them, to us, to all. It can be done, by us. This is something that eludes very many of us much of our days for many reasons and explanations, but It Can Be Done. New Yorkers For Children and its roster of participants is proof, over and over.

Gibran's Children
By Jay El
11 Mar 2009
Here's Khallil Gibran's classic poem on the soul of children. The Hippocratic oath ("First, do no harm") & Gibran's poetic musings ("On Children") define my practice & my approach to primary care.
On Children
By: Kahlil Gibran.
Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them,
but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children
as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,
and He bends you with His might
that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let our bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;
For even as He loves the arrow that flies,
so He loves also the bow that is stable.
Is the Hippocratic Oath still relevant?

The Taliban harbored Bin Ladin and his gang but they are not known as terrorist. The Taliban are Muslim extremist. I don't think we could ever eliminate them. They can hide in the Mountains and/or go back and forth to Pakistan. We cannot afford to Police the world. Our people shouldn't be dying for the Afghan people. Obama is doing all he can do. He took out Bin Ladin and much of Al-queda. Now he has our Military training the Afghans to defend their own country. This is their Civil war and not ours. Hopefully it works. If not, it will be another Vietnam type ending. These religious fanatics won't ever give up so we can't stay and let our people be picked off. Just a really sad situation for Afghan women if their government fails to protect them.
The Pentagon wants us to stay longer. Big money in wars. I don't see the Afghan government ever taking over the battle unless we leave.

Huntsman, a former Utah Governor, positions himself as the sane, mainstream alternative to the wingnuts that make up the rest of the Republican field. But the plan is a compendium of [right-wing] hobbyhorses.
Presidential hopeful Mitt Romney today is unveiling a jobs plan in Nevada, which he previewed in a USA Today op-ed. "We must once again unleash the tremendous economic potential of the American people. The contrast between what the Obama administration has done and what I would do as president could not be starker," Romney claims.
For the most part, the op-ed revives Romney's stump speech, which focuses on his career at Bain Capital (a buyout firm) and a critique of the Obama administration's tax and budget policies. But he also levels several factually challenged charges, while promoting many of the tired supply-side policy ideas that have been a staple of Republican policy for years. Here is a fact-check of Romney's piece:
ROMNEY: "Marginal income tax rates and tax rates on savings and investment must be kept low. Further, taxes on interest, dividends and capital gains for middle-income taxpayers should be eliminated."
REALITY: Taxes are the lowest they've been in 60 years, far lower than under several Republican presidents. Taxes on dividends and capital gains are far below the level at which they were under President Reagan. Furthermore, 68.3 percent of the capital gains tax is paid by the richest 1 percent of Americans, while the bottom 95 percent of Americans pay just 10 percent of them, so it is unclear how Romney thinks a capital gains tax cut can be fashioned as a middle class tax break.
ROMNEY: "Our corporate tax rate is among the world's highest. It leaves U.S. firms at a competitive disadvantage and induces them to park their profits abroad, benefiting the rest of the world at our expense."
REALITY: While the U.S. corporate tax rate is high on paper, once all the credits, deductions, and loopholes are accounted for, the U.S. has the second-lowest corporate taxes in the developed world.
ROMNEY: "President Obama has vastly expanded the regulatory reach of government. The federal government has estimated the price tag for its regulations at $1.75 trillion."
REALITY: This is a bogus number favored by the big business lobby, and widely cited by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. It comes from a study that, according to John Irons of the Economic Policy Institute, "contains basic conceptual mistakes and relies on extraordinarily poor data." "Its results should neither be used as a valid measure of the economic costs of regulation nor as a guide for policy," he said.
ROMNEY: "I will not tolerate federal intrusions of the kind that the National Labor Relations Board initiated when it filed suit against Boeing for opening a plant in a right-to-work state."
REALITY: The NLRB suit against Boeing has nothing to do with the company opening a plant in a so-called "right-to-work" state, but that the company, by its own admission, shifted production from Washington state to South Carolina in retaliation against workers for striking, which is a violation of the National Labor Relations Act.
ROMNEY: "Tellingly, while the private sector shed 1.8 million jobs since Barack Obama took office, the federal workforce grew by 142,500, or almost 7%. A rollback is urgently required."
REALITY: This is a favorite stat for conservatives, but it isn't true. The GOP engineers the stat by leaving out all of the jobs lost by the U.S. Postal Service. As Politifact noted, "If the postal workers cuts were included, the overall increase in employees under Obama would be about 40,000, or a modest 1.4 percent increase in the workforce." The federal workforce is also smaller than it was 20 years ago. Overall, the public sector has lost 600,000 during the Great Recession.
One month post-debt deal. Any jobs yet, Mr. Speaker?
Oops! That would be a big, fat NO. So guess what, my bonny John? My little orange friend? We just wasted a whole lotta time, and took a whole lotta dollars out of the economy, and we are WORSE OFF FOR IT. If anyone is still listening to this man, for the sake of your country, please stop.
Failed ideology + obstruction + zero new ideas = no jobs.
If Republicans had any desire at all to create jobs, they'd want to present their ideas to the American people. The fact that there won't be a response to the President's jobs speech tells you everything you need to know about the GOP-Teaparty's plans going into 2012 — hoping and working for disaster to make Obama a one-term president.
"Republicans are, and have been, entirely focused on job creation," Boehner spokesman Michael Steel said. "Every Member of Congress, and – more importantly – the American people, will provide a reaction to the president's address. We trust in the good judgment of the American people, and the president's proposals will rise or fall on their own merits." — No formal Republican response planned after Obama's jobs address | The Hill
After making some very good points about the necessity of infrastructure spending he went downhill when he repeated right-wing propaganda about America having one of the highest corporate tax rates in the world (complete and utter bullshit). Then he repeated right-wing propaganda…

Hey America, remember when you gave the Republican Party control of the House in the belief that it would fix the economy — but instead things got worse because the GOP screwed around passing pointless bills that had nothing to do with job creation? Good times, huh? Good times.

Philosopy |
THE NATURE OF LEARNINGAll questions of inquiry must begin with or presuppose the answers to three basic questions:
How one answers these questions influences how they will answer all other inquiries. The Christian view of reality, knowledge and ethics is as follows: REALITY
God, having created the universe by His own free will is absolute, autonomous and self-sufficient. He is not dependent in any way upon the created, whereas the created are utterly dependent upon Him. In creation, He brought all things into being and causes all things to function together in the manner in which He decrees, by His design. These decrees are irrevocable; He alone is in control. While transcending all things, His providential oversight is not distant, but immanent and personal. He is at all times, intimately acquainted with and relates to everything in His universe. God is self-referential. He knows himself completely without reference to any standard alongside or outside of Himself. Furthermore, God knows all things because He originally conceived all things. In contrast, man does not conceive things originally, but discovers what God has eternally known. Therefore, man cannot truly know anything unless he understands it in reference to the God who originally conceived it. Thus man comes to know only by revelation from God. All revelation comes to man through Christ and all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Him (Col. 2:3). ETHICS
God alone is the standard of what is right and wrong, true and false. There is no ethical standard that is above or alongside God. His character is the basis for all ethical judgments. Therefore, man is only able to determine ethical standards and judgments according to His word alone. THE NATURE OF CHILDREN
Children are made in the image of God. Because they bear His image, they have a duty to do so in a manner that honors and glorifies Him. Children are created by God and given to parents. They are not the property of the state to work and serve its will. Rather they are to be educated to fulfill the creation mandate.
God, in His word, has clearly charged parents with the responsibility of training their own children. It is not the job of the church or the state to assume this obligation. Parents may lawfully assign specific tasks to godly surrogates, but they may never relinquish the overall responsibility and oversight of their children's education. SUMMARYTrue education flourishes when parents, teachers and administrators properly understand the nature of learning, of children, and of schools. In order for education to succeed it must proceed according to how God made the world, otherwise education will be ineffective and inefficient at best, and destructive and immoral at worst. |


text: UNH » Topics » Hemsley Reaches New Agreement, Also Acts to Remove Any Unintended Personal Benefit of Past Option Grants to HimThis excerpt taken from the UNH 8-K filed Nov 8, 2006. Hemsley Reaches New Agreement, Also Acts to Remove Any Unintended Personal Benefit of Past Option Grants to Him Under the terms of the new, four-year employment agreement, Mr. Hemsley, as chief executive officer and president, will only be assured of receiving his base salary each year. The agreement does not set any minimum or target level for any bonus or other 2 incentive compensation for Mr. Hemsley. All bonus and incentive compensation is solely at the discretion of the Compensation Committee and ultimately the independent members of the Board of Directors. On May 1, 2006, the Company announced that Mr. Hemsley and certain other senior, long-tenured executives would not receive any additional equity awards. In addition, as previously announced, Mr. Hemsley has agreed to have the exercise prices of all of his options with recorded grant dates between 1997, the year he commenced employment at the Company, and 2002, reset to the highest share price during the recorded grant year for each particular option. In the case of certain options described below, the exercise prices will be reset to the highest share price in 2000. Further, Mr. Hemsley has acted to relinquish any personal benefit from option grants that were suspended in 1999 and reinstituted in August 2000. Mr. Hemsley said, My decision is in keeping with my personal goal of avoiding even the appearance of any unintended benefit from any past option grants to me. Taken together, these actions reduce the current value of Mr. Hemsleys past equity compensation by approximately $190 million. |

As a big fan of my run of UR-Spray, I was eager to try out Pump Spray. I ran 3 bottles over the course of 6 weeks. For anyone who has seen how irregular my appearances on this forum have been over the past 6 weeks, my training was just as sporadic. Injuries that left me unable to lift, holidays, traveling, bowl games, all combined to make this one of the least consistent training periods of my career. this is going to make it hard to give it a truly accurate appraisal but I am going to summarize the events and effects noticed surrounding each bottle.
1st bottle: During this period I could barely train due to my most recent shoulder injury. Lack of training combined with Holidays led to a much looser diet and much more alcohol consumption. I was much overweight compared to normal and could only train back. with the first bottle I didn't notice much. Enhanced pumps/vascularity but even that was random. No noticeable fat loss but UR-Spray took 3-4 weeks to notice changes in that regard so I wasn't surprised.
2nd bottle: Began to train heavy again. Surprisingly, after about 4 weeks completely off and 2 weeks going very light, I had lost very little if any strength. I attribute this partly to Pump Spray as it was something I noticed with UR Spray as well. No weight loss but also no weight gain at a time when I was eating very poorly and drinking way too much. Pumps ranged from no noticeable difference, to crippling. It was weird how much they varied but at times they were epic. Could of had something to do with application times from workouts and diet fluctuations.
3rd bottle: Training was back to normal and diet more in check with less drinking. Strength started to improve as it did with UR-Spray. Pumps were more consistent. Noticed increased vascularity especially more than usual at this bf. This is also the bottle where the fat loss kicked in. Just slightly noticeable at first, but by the end of the bottle, very noticeable.
Final Thoughts: There are a lot of factors and thoughts that come into play here. First, its hard to give an accurate assessment with such conditions, lack of diet, lack of training etc. I will say that I do believe Pump Spray helped me hold on to almost all of my muscle and strength during times with little training, sleep, heavy drinking, and ****ty diet. Secondly, it seemed to take longer to kick in than UR-Spray. That could either be due to less UR being in Pump Spray or my crappy habits. It also may be that since I had substantially higher BF, the effects took longer to notice and once my BF got lower they became apparent much quicker. This would lead to the perception that it kicked in really late when it had in fact kicked in long before.
Pumps fluctuated wildly, from a mild increase to where I was so pumped I couldn't even move. As I mentioned earlier, this could be a result of fluctuations in diet, hydration, and how long I applied the product before working out. Towards the end my Vascular was much more pronounced however.
All in all was it worth it? At first looking back I didn't think so. But after looking back on everything, it is pretty amazing that I maintained the shape I did during this period. I lost no strength or muscle and actually seemed to put on a decent amount of both at the end. Slowly but surely lost fat at a time where I should have ballooned up even more. Needless to say I am impressed overall. I would purchase again but instead use UR-Spray and save Pump Spray to apply pre workout.
Also, my brother ran it over the course of 6 weeks under the same conditions (holidays, drinking, ****ty diet, etc.) He also did not train once during that period. He didn't notice anything while on it. But after he got off and continued the same diet and habits, he rapidly put on weight. So during those times he couldn't tell if it was working, it was actually saving his ass. He also lost very little strength or size over those 6 weeks.

It's important to be active when you have diabetes. In addition to lowering your blood glucose level, exercise can ease stress and help you lose extra weight. So what's stopping you? Here's a look at six common obstacles to exercises and how you can get motivated to move.
1. I don't have time to exercise.
Ideally, you should be moving at a moderate pace for 30 minutes most days of the week. But if you're overwhelmed with work, school, or family activities, find little pockets of time whenever you can. Park farther away in the parking lot. Take the stairs, instead of the elevator. Walk around the field while the kids are playing a game. Be creative and fit in exercise. Those little moments of movement add up.
2. I don't know what exercises to do.
You don't need to join a gym or find a personal trainer. Simply start out by going for a walk. Begin with a 5-minute walk and slowly build from there. There are also free exercise videos you can find online. Or you can join an exercise class at a church or community center.
3. It's too cold/hot/rainy/whatever.
Who says you have to go outside to exercise? Walk laps in your house or walk up and down the stairs. Play an active video game like Wii Fit. Put on some music and dance around your house. Go to the mall or find a high school or YMCA with an indoor track and walk in comfort.
4. It hurts to exercise.
See your health care provider to find the source of your pain. Make sure there's not an underlying problem that needs treatment. If you get the OK to start moving, then find non-impact exercises -- like swimming, biking, and using elliptical machines. Look for exercise videos specifically made for people who have pain.
5. I can't stick with it.
Get an exercise buddy to walk with or take fitness classes together. When someone else is depending on you to go for a hike, workout, or ride bikes, you'll be less likely to come up with an excuse. The two of you will hold each other accountable, so you won't want to let each other down.
6. I'm just not motivated.
Sometimes just knowing that exercise is helping you fight diabetes isn't enough to get you off the couch. So, find some other motivation. Do you want to look great in a swimsuit for vacation? Do you want to feel good to dance at a wedding? Or think of a non-food reward -- like a massage or a movie -- and treat yourself when you've exercised every day for a whole week.

Guest Post: Missi from Havoc to Heaven
Hello everyone! I can't believe it's already Wednesday. This week is going by too fast and soon we"ll be celebrating my daughter's birthday. So, we're getting in a cake mood around here!
Talking about mood, if you aren't in a really good one, this is the person you should be listening to: Missi from Havoc to Heaven. No matter how tired or even grumpy I'm feeling, if I drop by her blog, I know she will make me laugh about something.
Missi is a mother of four teenagers and has transformed the house they bought in foreclosure into a beautiful home. I'm constantly learning something new with her. I'm sure you'll too.
Hi All! I am Missi from havoc-to-heaven.com and I want to thank Luciane for inviting me to guest post on her amazing blog. I have been so lucky to get to know someone as talented, smart and kind as Luciane through the blogosphere. You know when you meet someone and you just "click". That is what happened with Luciane … we are a little like opposites attract. Where Luciane is smart, I am a smart-ass. She is kind and I can be kinda a b***h (only when pushed of course) and where she is super talented, I am … okay let's stop there. You get the drift. Today I want to share with you a simple project with a big impact. I have been doing a lot of complaining lately about how much brown is in my family room. I decided to make a little change on the coffee table to liven things up a bit. On the table was a tray that I got years ago from the Pottery Barn outlet.
B-O-R-I-N-G and brown. Check out what a little Valspar spray paint in Exotic Sea does for this dull and uninteresting tray!
TA-DA! Is this one happy looking tray or what? Simple … no primer – no sanding – just two coats of spray paint. Makes me happier than finding the last box of Girl Scout cookies in the freezer in August!
I just gathered a few items from around the house to put on the tray. The color on the tray makes the items really "pop". Those are pistachios in the wooden bowl. We always have pistachios sitting out somewhere. My whole family loves them!
The little glass bowl in front I picked up at Goodwill for .25 cents. Perfect for throwing the pistachio shells into and still has a little character. I love the way the blue tray reflects off the "fake" cut crystal bowl. I will admit, when I told the Hubs I was going to spray paint the tray turquoise he made the "what are you thinking?" face. Do you know this face? Guess who was the first person to say how much they liked the tray? Yep – that's right …the face-maker. Ha! I love it when I am right!
Thanks so much Luciane for having me here today. I hope your readers enjoyed my simple project and will start spray painting everything they own. I'd spray paint my dogs if they'd let me. They are brown.
Hope your life is more exotic sea heaven than boring brown havoc!
Thank you so much, Missi for sharing this easy yet transforming project with us today. I love the color and how it made everything else look fresh and new. Wonderful job!
Please, make sure to drop by Missi's blog and say "hello" for me! I know you'll enjoy it.
Have a great day, my dear readers. Thank you for stopping by today. I'm working hard on my current project (everyday until 2 am), and I can't wait it to be ready. I'm positive my client will be happy with the results.

You Made My Day
By: Shonnelle L. Cummins
Have you ever experienced a day that you never want to relive? A day, week, or even month that was so horrible you would not wish on your worst enemy. I have experienced more of those days than I like to admit. Well, there is good news and there is bad news. The good news is that we will not live those days in the past again and the bad news is there are more unpleasant days to come before we leave this earth. We would love to live every day of our lives frolicking through a field of flowers but the truth is we will and we must encounter those not so flowery days. Although we will have days, weeks, or months when we don't smell the roses and cannot see the sunshine, we must remember the Creator of our days.
The Lord, our God, is the Creator of time and man. He created day and night on day one of creation then created man in His image on day six. Light and dark were already set and established by God before He made man. He divided 1 day into 24 hours for our sake. Many of us have difficultly managing the time God has given us and often complain about not having enough time to accomplish all that needs to be done. We make our "to-do" lists filled with tasks we think needs to be completed then we check them off as we complete them. At the end of a busy day while reviewing your now "to done" list, have you ever thought, "Wow, I did all these things but still feel unproductive."? You may be correct if your list wasn't prioritized by the Father, the One who created your day.
I have learned to begin my day by asking God, "What am I suppose to do today?" or "What do You want me to do today?" To my surprise, His "to-do" list for me is much shorter than the "to do" list I make for myself. When I ask those questions at the beginning of my day then add my list to God's list, my day flows much smoother than it would had I not sought Him for my daily duties. God knows exactly what we need and who will fulfill those needs. He assigns each of us specific tasks to complete in order for all of our needs to be met. If we do not seek God to find out what tasks we have been assigned, then someone's needs will go unmet or be fulfilled by the wrong person. God orchestrates our day in a way that not only allows us to accomplish everything on our list but also, and more importantly, everything in His list for us to do. When we accomplish God's "to do" list, we find ourselves totally satisfied, fulfilled, and in His will for our lives.
Being in the will of God is the best place to be. There is provision, direction, and gratification in His will. Dark days, weeks, and months may be found in the will of God but rest assured that the SON is still shining. We will be challenged and face difficult times as we obey God. But seeking God first before our day begins can prepare us for those not so easy moments when our day seems to be going wrong. I find it less stressful and easy going when I know how my day has been made before it even begins.
God has a plan for each and every one of our days but it is up to us to find out the Master's plan. God makes our days unique and unlike any other. Some days may be similar but they are to be different than the previous one. After living through a day, we should grow stronger and wiser based on the experiences we have, people we meet and interact with, and challenges we fail or overcome. God planned each day to be a learning environment for us to become more like Him. Keep this perspective in mind when you are facing a giant or a road block or simply being tested. Know that God has made this day just for you and is readily available to provide direction and guidance if asked.
A Daily Confession:
Father God, You have made this day just for me and I will rejoice and be glad in it. I cast the whole of care, worry, and concern on You because You love me. You know the challenges that lay before me and I ask that You show me how to respond to those challenges with wisdom and compassion. Work freely through me, Lord, as I open my spirit to receive all that you have for me. Thank you, Father, for being a very present help whenever I need You. In Jesus' Name, Amen!
