The mission of the Santa Clarita Community College District's Professional Development Program is to improve and sustain the professional growth of district employees through collegially planned learning opportunities that continue to support the institution's strategic goals.
The Purpose of Professional Development is to provide opportunities for our faculty and staff to improve their knowledge and skills and, ultimately, improve teaching, student learning and student success.
The flexible calendar program was initiated by six California community colleges in 1976 as a pilot project authorized by Assembly Bill 2232 (1975). The six pilot colleges were El Camino, Grossmont, Consumnes River, Saddleback, San Jose City, and Evergreen Valley. These six pilot colleges were allowed to reduce the number of required instructional days from 175 to a minimum of 160. The bill provisions allowed the colleges the opportunity to replace up to fifteen days of regular instruction with alternative activities such as course and program development and revision, staff development activities, development of new instructional materials, and other instruction-related activities. In fall 1980, El Camino College withdrew from the pilot program and was replaced by College of the Canyons.
Implementation of the flexible calendar program at the pilot colleges involved reforming the instructional calendar to accommodate instruction-free days for faculty development activities. Legislation (AB 1149) was drafted in 1981 that allowed all colleges the option of adopting a flexible calendar program. In addition, the following bills relevant to the flexible calendar were passed:
AB 1657 (1983) which provided a no-loss/no-gain in funding and a conversion of days to hours. It also allowed flexible calendar activities to be performed any time during the fiscal year and added matriculation as an approved flexible calendar activity.
AB 836 (1985) which provided technical change to the formula to adjust ADA as a way to further assure a no-loss in funding.
AB 1725 (1988) which created a community colleges faculty a staff development fund.
In 1980, a committee called Task Force 4-1-4 was established at College of the Canyons. The committee consisted of ten members: five faculty, two administrators, the EOPS counselor, the instructional media specialist, and one student. Today, the Faculty Development Committee, previously known as the FLEX Committee, consists of representatives from each of the seven divisions and the Professional Development Director. The committee meets weekly and is responsible for developing schedules of FLEX events and activities based on provisions of the law. (Title 5, section 55730e)
Based on the law (Title 5, section 55726b and 55728) each faculty member is obligated to complete 41 hours of FLEX activities per academic year. FLEX activities must not overlap with any accountable hours during the regular academic term or special assignments for which the faculty members are regularly compensated. Faculty members can meet their FLEX obligation by attending or participating in scheduled and/or unscheduled activities. Unscheduled activities can account for a maximum of 50 percent (20.5 hours) of the FLEX obligation.
What are FLEX days?
As allowed by Title 5, FLEX days are days set aside in the academic calendar (July 1-June 30) for faculty to participate in professional development activities related to staff, student, and instructional improvement. At COC we have an obligation of 41 FLEX hours per year.
If we didn't have FLEX days, would we have more days of vacation?
No, we would have additional days of class instruction.
What kinds of activities are considered Professional Development activities?
The term Professional Development includes activities which increase knowledge in the discipline or which directly enhance teaching skills, but also activities which improve working relationships with students and staff in and out of the classroom as well as activities which enhance an individual's physical and mental ability to perform his/her job.
Do all Professional Development activities have to occur on certain days?
No, but for accountability purposes, certain days are labeled FLEX days on the academic calendar.

The competition consists of over 500 individuals who work in teams of three where two fallers dance acrobatically through the air and the third faller films.
Surprisingly, this adrenaline pumping sport is much safer than many people think. With only 30-minutes of training, anyone that is over eighteen and healthy can jump out of an airplane while attached to the instructor. For the more determined individuals, there is a rigorous four-hour training course followed by a separate jump.
Despite all of the safety precautions, some people still refuse to jump. Senior Tyler Duncan said, "That stuff is crazy, I would never do that." He continued, "I'm afraid of heights and just...no, it's just too crazy."
After this win, Jason Wright hopes to continue his career safely and maybe even win more competitions in the future.

It was ok, kind of expensive for what you get, but this is Aspen, so I guess it is normal for there. food was good but not "WOW".

Very relaxing place with a variety of scotchs beers and mixers. Suzanne, our bartender was very friendly and made us feel at home. They also offer brandy, which is a rarity here.
There is nothing not to like about Aspen Mountain! We visited in mid September so we were viewing the mountains just as the fall color was starting to pop. At the top of the mountain, you can see for miles and the views are so beautiful that you just want to keep staring at them. Their were many walkers and... More
Aspen Mountain opened up its Gondola on October 6 and 7 for free to all. It is a great trip up and provided an up close views of the Aspens at peak color. Also, the added treat of walking around in six inches of snow at the top brought smiles to all. What a great thing for Aspen Mountain to... More
Took the gondola up to the top of Ajax for a rehearsal dinner. Ride was a bit scary but the views were unbelievable! Definitely worth the trip up!
Aspen Mountain is yours to discover! We had an awesome day during a big March storm here, skiing powder and making fresh tracks all day. Getting off the centre of the mountain, there are many areas well worth exploring along the sides that aren't busy at all. We found glades that weren't that narrow or intimidating and offered awesome skiing... More
Always a must when in Aspen. The view going up is top is incredible (as well as the view on top and going down).
Had great view from room's patio on 4th floor, east side of hotel. And it was only a short couple of blocks away.
I have a fear of heights, but did not want to let that stop me from enjoying one of God's most beautiful sights. After about 5 minutes of riding up the Gondol, my fear subsided & I was able to enjoy the view. I wasn't able to turn myself all around & look at everything but it was beautiful nonetheless.... More
The Gondola trip up the mountain is expensive but the view is worth it. We loved the ride up and spent the afternoon looking around up on top of the mountain...enjoyed a glass of wine and just relaxed. Very cool up there due to elevation but we LOVED it. The ticket also included the Gondola in Snowmass so it is... More

Two Eastern Washington football players are credited with saving a man who had fallen out of his kayak in Long Lake.
The news was first reported Thursday by the Spokesman-Review.
Read the story on Spokesman.com
On Mazy 31, defensive linemen Dylan Zylstra and Ashton Boothroyd noticed a man who flipped his kayak in the river's swift current. At first, they weren't sure whether he needed help. But when he started screaming for help they found a rowboat and pulled him to safety.
The kayaker was examined by paramedics and did not need to go to the hospital.

Bike Spirits Spray Cleaner & Polish Reviews :
Comment: I had bought and used this product before but I paid at least 3 times more for one can. At the time, after using it, I thought it was a good deal and was planing on bying this product again but when I seen the price Jafrum sells it for, I ordered it right away before they run out of stock. Like always, I received my order within a week. I am a customer for life with Jafrum!!!
Ottawa, Canada
Comment: The Spray Cleaner is exactly what I ordered and I love the way it works on my wing. I also recommend Jafrum too my riding friends because I have been ordering riding gear from Jafrum for the past 4 years and they have always delivered exactly what I ordered in a timely manner.
Clinton, MD
Comment: Our bike is chromed out. Bike Spirits makes makes keeping it shine and clean so much more easier. What a shine. It's been the best stuff I've found and the price is great.
Steve Clear
Wet state of Washington
Comment: Received my order fast as promised. First time using this product and I'm sold it is awesome.
Willow Spring,NC
Comment: I'd give it 5 stars if it'd clean the bike without me
Comment: Bought this and would buy it again in a minute. Works great on everything, chrome, windshield, paint, etc.. Awesome product.
Comment: It does the whole bike and the bugs just wipe off. Easy on and easy off. Definitely cuts the cleaning time down drastically. I will buy this product again. I suspect it is mineral oil mixed with something else make it work so well.
Comment: This product works good. Its great to have a portable cleaner with you when your on the road. Great to get bug stuff off the windshield.
Roberta Fogg
Turner, Maine
Comment: Glad I tried it. Now I use it on everything. Really amazing product and affordable too.
Comment: I bought this the first time to just fill in enough to get to the free shipping mark, after I tried it, I bought 2 more cans, and will keep this stocked in my garage for as long as they make it, best deal out there!
Fort Wayne Indiana
Comment: Great cleaner/ploish for the money. I would recommend it to anybody who wants to keep their bike clean.
Comment: The best product hands down and the price even makes it a better deal.
St. Louis
Comment: Good product and great shine
Central Illinois
Comment: Love this! So easy to use; really makes the bike surfaces shine.
Comment: I had been spoiled by Clean Cycle Products but when my "Spray and Shine" ran out I decided to try something new. I had heard of Bike Spirits and wanted to try them out. I was mildly disappointed, the product goes on easy and shines up nice, but Clean Cycles version gave a deeper shine to the paint while Bike Spirits made the chrome look better. Not being much of a chrome fan (too much maintenance) and not liking the smell of the product (oily or something)I can only give this one a 4. Also keep in mind, my paint is old....may work great on new paints...
Estero, Florida
Comment: Have used this for years, used to be made by Honda. Now this company manufactures it and it is the same. Highly recommend it
Glastonbury, Ct
Comment: Great on my older bike - shines up everything like new! JG

Featuring Tucson: Recycling For All!
Thursday, June 21st, 2012When we first moved into our current place, I panicked: Recycling services were not provided.
This was a REAL problem for me. I'm a recycling junkie. What would become of me without my beloved curbside pickup?!?
Would I sink into an ecological malaise, justifying my liberal guilt by saying things like, "Well, I'm sure my 10,000 little yogurt cups won't cause the end of the world." ??? Oh the horror!!
Or worse, worse — I'd become a hoarder. I'd meticulously rinse and store every scrap of recyclable material I came across… my house one giant, swaying pile of toilet paper rolls and juice bottles…
No! NO!!!
Fortunately, when I called the lovely folks over at Tucson Clean & Beautiful, they pointed me to a couple of neighborhood recycling centers in my neck of the Pueblo.
Whew — visit from Adult Protective Services averted!
It's nothing fancy, just a couple of giant blue dumpsters.
You can put all the same stuff in them that you'd put in the curbside bins — and there's no need to sort.
Just toss your clean recyclables in — free, easy, convenient.
Visit tucsonrecycles.org with your recycling questions, and for a list of accepted materials.

Soon after I began working at Wellspring, the "Elevate" worship experience was developed. In its earliest form, it was designed as a program to appeal to a younger generation. What we found was when you host the presence of God, you attract all generations who are interested in experiencing what the presence of God can do.
Because we continue to ask God what he wants to do with Elevate, we have continued to adjust. Over the past three years, Elevate has adjusted its format to conform with what we believe God was directing us toward. Elevate continues to be a worship experience of music and prayer, of prophetic listening and healing, and of teaching and community.
We had Elevate services in October and November and on New Year's Eve. All these services were worship experiences that hosted the presence of God and expanded the experience of those present with regard to what God was doing. In January, we hosted "Elevate Hartford" at South Church in Hartford. This was a worship experience that we took into the city of Hartford. We partnered with "The Hartford Project" and brought a worship experience to multiple churches and brought the presence of God to a city that needs it.
In February, we brought Elevate to Valley Community Baptist Church in Avon. In this situation, the worship experience of Elevate was brought to encourage their young adults and to expand and enhance their worship of God and their interaction with His presence. Also in February, we went to Lakeshore Baptist Church in New York to encourage a two-year-old church. The Elevate worship experience will continue to expand their desire to walk with God and to bring his presence to their city of Cicero, NY.
In March, Elevate Hope was a night of ministry with Steve Backlund. We used the Elevate worship experience to create the platform from which Steve ministered to all those in attendance.
An Elevate worship night will also be used in April during one of the nights that Bob Hazlett is here. Wellspring will be providing worship at every meeting during that weekend, but one of those nights will be an Elevate worship experience.
On May 19th, we will be hosting a half day seminar on Dream Interpretation facilitated by Lance Carter of Presence Ministry out of New Hampshire. That evening, we will host 'Elevate Dreaming' with the Presence Ministry team who will be available for ministry while we worship. The evening service is open to everyone.
Elevate may not have a regular night, or a regular place as it once did. Elevate still has its core purpose: a worship experience to enhance and interact with the presence of God. We hope to continue to expand where Elevate goes and how Elevate is used. Elevate is not for a specific demographic or a specific church. Elevate is a tool to be used in the stream of revival that God is bringing to our region.
Pastor Bob Switzer

Nicki Mina j, the rapper who has had much success on the pop charts with songs like Starships and Super Bass, says the recent re-release of her sophomore album has to be pleasing her early fans.
"The feel of the re-release is kind of like my first sound, like the mixtapes," she said of Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded – The Re-Up.
The re-release came seven months after Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard charts. That album features pop, dance, R&B, reggae and rap sounds. It's a far stretch from when Minaj kicked off her career as a sexed-up street rapper, signed by Lil Wayne in 2009 after she released three buzzed-about mixtapes. Her official debut, Pink Friday, is near double platinum and was nominated for a Grammy Award.
But Minaj, 29, says she's "back to basics" on Re-Up. "It sounds probably more hood in some ways, for a lack of a better word," she said in a recent telephone interview with The Associated Press. More snippets from the conversation:
You let cameras follow you for a three-part reality special ["My Truth"] for E! What was that like?
It's been fun because I think that my fans are getting a real kick out of it. I'm happy I did it. ... I don't really have an opinion on it. It was just a decision for me to show more of myself and I never really know how people are going to react to it, so I've started stepping back and away, and getting away from just overthinking it. [But] of course I was hesitant. I'm a very private person. I definitely thought about it a lot and then I went for it.
What are your favorite albums of the year?
I really have been enjoying all of the hip-hop albums that came out because I feel like hip-hop artists have been taking their careers into their own hands and I just want to give a salute to everyone because it's not easy. … The music has been sort of changing and adding new sounds to the game and introducing new people to the game, so I would just give a big nod to hip-hop for 2012.
Is being a judge on "American Idol" what you thought it would be?
No. … They're very long days, and that's the biggest thing I didn't really expect. I'm used to being able to handle my business at any time, and when it's American Idol, sometimes we're in one place for eight hours judging people and I can't go to my BlackBerry every five minutes like I'm used to. So that kind of slows my business down and that is something that I never could have foreseen. But, as a whole, I love the experience that I'm getting.
How are you and Mariah Carey, another new judge on "Idol," getting along?
Minaj: [Click. Hangs up].

Larry A. Silverstein's Fifth Avenue boardroom is awash in the developer's hopes, dreams and architectural drawings for rebuilding the World Trade Center.
On the table is an elaborate model of a glass office tower cantilevered over Greenwich Street, the site of 7 World Trade Center, the 47-story skyscraper he built next to the twin towers that was also destroyed in the September attack. Mr. Silverstein, who bought control of the trade center complex two months before the attack, said he hoped to begin construction at 7 World Trade Center by June, with the proceeds of an $861 million insurance policy.
The developer's plans are seen by some as a sign of renewal downtown, and by others as a rush to get into the ground before civic groups, the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation and the families of victims and survivors of the attack can impose an overall development plan.
But the developer, state officials and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey say that Mr. Silverstein has a legal right to rebuild and, ultimately, he needs only the approval of the Port Authority, which owns the land. The separate 16-acre site of the twin towers to the south is another matter, because everyone -- even Mr. Silverstein -- agrees that there should be a substantial memorial built there.

Bulldogs beaten in football opener
Tough Simla squad too much for Dove Creek to handle
Looking to open the season with a bang, the Dove Creek Bulldogs football team got off to a rough start. Playing against a tough Simla Cubs team on Aug. 24, Dove Creek was pounded 48-6.
According to Bulldogs head coach Shane Baughman, the game stayed tight until four minutes remained in the first half, at which point Simla scored three times to pull ahead 20-0.
Following halftime, the tough times continued for the Bulldogs as Simla pulled away.
"Conditioning was a huge factor in the game," said Baughman. "We were not ready to go, as far as our conditioning goes. That will not happen again. We've got a lot of work to do."
Pacing the Bulldogs with 109 yards passing and 62 yards rushing, sophomore Jordan Earnst provided one of the few bright spots for the Bulldogs on offense.
"For his first start at quarterback, (Earnst) played pretty well," said Baughman.
With hopes of putting a tough opening season loss behind them, the Bulldogs will next travel to Rangely on Aug. 30 to face the Rangely High School Panthers.

There is no reviews on PowerMax on this forum yet so just wanted to post some up from some reputable members!
Day 1
Full Packet ( 2 Scoops ) in 16oz of water
No joke straight up Fruit Punch Kool-Aid as a kid, not overpowering not underpowering, no bitter taste, just very refreshing from the first sip to the after taste. This was very refreshing and enjoying. I like to take down my pre - workout in about 4-5 gulps but i was sipping on this for 15 minutes on the way home from work before heading to the gym. Very good flavored product that is not overpowering or underpowering, this suits me just right as far as taste goes and it is very refreshing to drink! Thumbs up
Picutre says 1000 words. 0 problems, no particles or debree
- The aspect of energy got to me about 30-45 minutes after taking this down. As i was warming up on legs today i did not really feel the kick until about my warm-ups were done and a good 2-3 working sets in before my top sets came around. So it is slow to come but when it did it was very good and very long lasting. Nothing overpowering like i said, but it gave you what you needed to power through a good workout
This is where it shined, once it hit it stuck with you. Think tunnel vision, i dont even know what was playing on my ipod, I just kept focusing on hammering out sets after sets after sets. I got into the zone and just started to focus on the next exercise, the next rep, and the next working set. This was a great aspect of the product
Even being 3 months post-show i still get very vascular legs because they are a very lean bodypart for me. So i have to say this was present, even while keeping reps around the 5-8 rep range and no true hypertrophy. I am sure that would be brutal and leave me having a very hard time walking out of the gym in that case I will try to avoid that, but when i hit upperbody tomorrow i will see how much i can get my upper body to pop a bit.
Very pleased with this for day 1. I will report further when i take this tomorrow for day 2!
Thanks again for the samples!Day 2
No Change from Day 1, Mixed the same, but just took it upon waking this morning.
Picutre says 1000 words. 0 problems, no particles or debree
- Different scenario on empty stomach upon waking, so the energy came quicker on a very empty stomach overnight. Energy hit and stuck right away, which shows that when taking pre-workouts on empty stomachs they do help reflect the results and effects a product truly has. So this is where the product will shine but most will utilize after a pre-workout meal or around food.
Focus shined just like mentioned in day 1, once the energy and product settled it, it was game on, high reps, and pump tastic.
Even being 3 months post-show i still get very vascular legs because they are a very lean bodypart for me. So a picture?
This was post-workout with minimal shoulder and tricep work. Just mostly Chest/Back/Bicep
A solid pre-workout, a good profile, and depending on price could be very affordable and something to consider for many. Again it will vary per user on how they respond and utilize the product, but this is something well worth a shot in the future.
Thanks again for the samples ADizzle!

Thorstein Bunde Veblen (born Torsten Bunde Veblen; July 30, 1857 – August 3, 1929) was an American economist and sociologist, and leader of the institutional economics movement. Besides his technical work he was a popular and witty critic of capitalism, as shown by his best known book The Theory of the Leisure Class (1899).
Veblen is famous in the history of economic thought for combining a Darwinian evolutionary perspective with his new institutionalist approach to economic analysis. He combined sociology with economics in his masterpiece The Theory of the Leisure Class (1899) where he argued that there was a fundamental split in society between those who make their way via exploitation and those who make their way via industry. In early barbarian society this is the difference between the hunter and the gatherer in the tribe, but as society matures it is the difference between the landed gentry and the indentured servant. The titular manifestation of those with the power of exploit is the "leisure class" which is defined by its lack of productive economic activity and its commitment to demonstrations of idleness. As Veblen describes it, as societies mature, conspicuous leisure gives way to "conspicuous consumption", but both are performed for the sole purpose of making an invidious distinction based on pecuniary strength, the demonstration of wealth being the basis for social status.
Veblen was sympathetic to state ownership of industry, but he had a low opinion of workers and the labor movement and there is disagreement about the extent to which his views are compatible with Marxism,[4] socialism or anarchism. As a leading intellectual of the Progressive Era, he made sweeping attacks on production for profit, and his stress on the wasteful role of consumption for status greatly influenced socialist thinkers and engineers who sought a non-Marxist critique of capitalism. Fine (1994) writes that economists at the time complained that his ideas, while brilliantly presented, were crude, gross, fuzzy, and imprecise; others complained that he was a wacky eccentric. Scholars continue to debate what exactly he meant in his convoluted, ironic and satiric essays; he made heavy use of examples of primitive societies, but many examples were pure invention.[5]
Veblen was born in Cato, Wisconsin, of Norwegian American parents who had immigrated from Norway. He spent the majority of his youth on his family farm in Nerstrand, Minnesota; the farmstead is now a National Historic Landmark. These settlements were little Norways, oriented around the religious and cultural traditions of the old country. Although Norwegian was his first language, he learned English from both neighbors and at school, which he began at the age of 5.[6] His family was highly successful and placed great emphasis on education and hard work, all of which undoubtedly contributed to his later scorn for what he termed "conspicuous consumption" and waste of the Gilded Age.[7] He was an uncle of the American mathematician Oswald Veblen. At seventeen, he was sent to attend a nearby college named Carleton College Academy (now Carleton College) in Northfield, Minnesota; he studied with the young John Bates Clark (1847–1938), who went on to become a leader in the new field of neoclassical economics.
Veblen did graduate work at Johns Hopkins University under Charles Sanders Peirce, the founder of the pragmatist school in philosophy; he took his Ph.D. in 1884 at Yale University with a dissertation on "Ethical Grounds of a Doctrine of Retribution." He was a student of philosopher Noah Porter (1811–1892) and economist/sociologist William Graham Sumner (1840–1910). Perhaps the most important intellectual influences on Veblen were Charles Darwin and Herbert Spencer, whose work in the last half of the 19th century sparked an enormous interest in the evolutionary perspective on human societies.[8] In 1891 he became a fellow at Cornell University.
Veblen married fellow Cornellian Ellen Rolfe in 1888; it was a very unhappy marriage that finally ended in divorce in 1911.[9] He married Ann Bradley in 1914 and became stepfather to her two girls, Becky and Ann. After his wife's death in 1920, Veblen became very active in the care of the girls. Becky went with him when he moved to California, looked after him there, and was with him at his death in 1929.
Academic career[edit]
Thorstein Veblen received his undergraduate degree from Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota in 1880. He went to Yale to pursue a Ph.D. Upon graduation from Yale, Veblen was unable to obtain an academic job, partly due to prejudice against Norwegians,[10] and partly because most universities considered him insufficiently educated in Christianity; most academics at the time held divinity degrees.[11] Veblen returned to his family farm – ostensibly to recover from malaria – and spent six years there reading voraciously.[12] In 1891 he left the farm, to study economics as a graduate student at Cornell University under James Laurence Laughlin.[7]
He obtained his first academic appointment at the new University of Chicago, which overnight had become a world class university in many fields. He was promoted to assistant professor in 1900 and edited the prestigious Journal of Political Economy, while conversing with such intellectuals as John Dewey, Jane Addams and Franz Boas. He published two of his best known books, The Theory of the Leisure Class (1899), and The Theory of Business Enterprise (1904). The books made him famous overnight for their ridicule of businessmen. In 1906, he moved to Stanford University. He soon left, perhaps because of adultery, or because the faculty and administration distrusted a man they saw as a poor teacher, a nasty colleague and a political radical.[13]
Veblen reflected many of his views in his personal habits. Veblen's house was often a mess, with unmade beds and dirty dishes; his clothes were often in disarray; he was an agnostic; and he tended to be blunt and rude while dealing with other people.[14]
In 1911, Veblen joined the faculty of the University of Missouri, where he had support from Herbert Davenport, the head of the economics department. Veblen disliked the local town but remained until in 1918 he moved to New York to begin work as an editor of The Dial. In 1919, along with Charles A. Beard, James Harvey Robinson and John Dewey, he helped found the New School for Social Research (known today as The New School). From 1919 through 1926 Veblen continued to write and be involved in activities at The New School.[7] The Engineers and the Price System was written during this period.[15]
Veblen proposed a soviet of engineers in one chapter in The Engineers and the Price System.[16] According to Yngve Ramstad,[17] this work's view that engineers, not workers, would overthrow capitalism was a "novel view". Veblen invited Guido Marx to the New School to teach and to help organize a movement of engineers, by such as Morris Cooke; Henry Laurence Gantt, who had died shortly before; and Howard Scott. Cooke and Gantt were followers of Taylor's Scientific Management. Scott, who listed Veblen as on the temporary organizing committee of the Technical Alliance, perhaps without consulting Veblen or other listed members, later helped found the Technocracy movement.[18][19] Veblen had a penchant for socialism and believed that technological developments would eventually lead toward a socialistic organization of economic affairs. However, his views on socialism and the nature of the evolutionary process of economics differed sharply from that of Karl Marx; while Marx saw socialism as the final political precursor to communism, the ultimate goal for civilization, and saw the working class as the group that would establish it, Veblen saw socialism as one intermediate phase in an ongoing evolutionary process in society that would be brought about by the natural decay of the business enterprise system and by the inventiveness of engineers.[20] Daniel Bell sees an affinity between Veblen and the Technocracy movement.[21] Janet Knoedler and Anne Mayhew[22] demonstrate the significance of Veblen's association with these engineers, while arguing that his book was more a continuation of his previous ideas than the advocacy others see in it.
In 1927, Veblen returned to the property that he still owned in Palo Alto and died there in 1929.[7] His death came less than three months before the momentous crash of the U.S. stock market, which heralded the Great Depression.
Veblen's economics[edit]
Veblen and other American institutionalists were indebted to the German Historical School, especially Gustav von Schmoller, for the emphasis on historical fact, their empiricism and especially a broad, evolutionary framework of study.[23][24] Veblen admired Schmoller but criticized some other leaders of the German school because of their overreliance on descriptions, long displays of numerical data and narratives of industrial development that rested on no underlying economic theory. Veblen tried to use the same approach with his own theory added.[25]
Probably the clearest inheritors of Veblen's ideas that humans are not rationally pursuing value and utility through their conspicuous consumption are adherents of the school of Behavioral economics, who study the ways consumers and producers act against their own interests in apparently non-rational ways.
Veblen developed a 20th-century evolutionary economics based upon Darwinian principles and new ideas emerging from anthropology, sociology, and psychology. Unlike the neoclassical economics that was emerging at the same time, Veblen described economic behavior as socially determined and saw economic organization as a process of ongoing evolution. Veblen strongly rejected any theory based on individual action or any theory highlighting any factor of an inner personal motivation. Such theories were according to him "unscientific." This evolution was driven by the human instincts of emulation, predation, workmanship, parental bent, and idle curiosity. Veblen wanted economists to grasp the effects of social and cultural change on economic changes. In The Theory of the Leisure Class, the instincts of emulation and predation play a major role. People, rich and poor alike, attempt to impress others and seek to gain advantage through what Veblen coined "conspicuous consumption" and the ability to engage in "conspicuous leisure." In this work Veblen argued that consumption is used as a way to gain and signal status. Through "conspicuous consumption" often came "conspicuous waste," which Veblen detested.
In The Theory of Business Enterprise, which was published in 1904 during the height of American concern with the growth of business combinations and trusts, Veblen employed his evolutionary analysis to explain these new forms. He saw them as a consequence of the growth of industrial processes in a context of small business firms that had evolved earlier to organize craft production. The new industrial processes impelled integration and provided lucrative opportunities for those who managed it. What resulted was, as Veblen saw it, a conflict between businessmen and engineers, with businessmen representing the older order and engineers as the innovators of new ways of doing things. In combination with the tendencies described in The Theory of the Leisure Class, this conflict resulted in waste and "predation" that served to enhance the social status of those who could benefit from predatory claims to goods and services.
Veblen generalized the conflict between businessmen and engineers by saying that human society would always involve conflict between existing norms with vested interests and new norms developed out of an innate human tendency to manipulate and learn about the physical world in which we exist. He also generalized his model to include his theory of instincts, processes of evolution as absorbed from Sumner, as enhanced by his own reading of evolutionary science, and Pragmatic philosophy first learned from Peirce. The instinct of idle curiosity led humans to manipulate nature in new ways and this led to changes in what he called the material means of life. Because, as per the Pragmatists, our ideas about the world are a human construct rather than mirrors of reality, changing ways of manipulating nature lead to changing constructs and to changing notions of truth and authority as well as patterns of behavior (institutions). Societies and economies evolve as a consequence, but do so via a process of conflict between vested interests and older forms and the new. Veblen never wrote with any confidence that the new ways were better ways, but he was sure in the last three decades of his life that the American economy could, in the absence of vested interests, have produced more for more people. In the years just after World War I he looked to engineers to make the American economy more efficient.
In addition to The Theory of the Leisure Class and The Theory of Business Enterprise, Veblen's monograph "Imperial Germany and the Industrial Revolution", and his many essays, including "Why is Economics Not an Evolutionary Science," and "The Place of Science in Modern Civilization," remain influential.
Veblen's intellectual legacy[edit]
In spite of difficulties of sometimes archaic language, caused in large part by Veblen's struggles with the terminology of unilinear evolution and of biological determination of social variation[citation needed] that still dominated social thought when he began to write, Veblen's work remains relevant, and not simply for the phrase "conspicuous consumption". His evolutionary approach to the study of economic systems is once again in vogue and his model of recurring conflict between the existing order and new ways can be of great value in understanding the new global economy.
The handicap principle of evolutionary sexual selection is often compared to Veblen's "conspicuous consumption".[26]
Veblen, as noted, is regarded as one of the co-founders (with John R. Commons, Wesley C. Mitchell, and others) of the American school of institutional economics. Present-day practitioners who adhere to this school organise themselves in the Association for Evolutionary Economics (AFEE) and the Association for Institutional Economics (AFIT). AFEE gives an annual Veblen-Commons (see John R. Commons) award for work in Institutional Economics and publishes the Journal of Economic Issues. Some unaligned practitioners include theorists of the concept of "differential accumulation".[27]
Veblen is cited in works of feminist economists.[28]
Veblen's work has also often been cited in American literary works. He is featured in The Big Money by John Dos Passos and mentioned in Carson McCullers' The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter.
One of Veblen's Ph.D. students was George W. Stocking, Sr., a pioneer in the emerging field of industrial organization economics.
Another of Veblen's Ph.D. students was Canadian academic and author Stephen Leacock, who went on to become the head of Department of Economics and Political Science at McGill University. Influence of Theory of the Leisure Class can be seen in Leacock's 1914 satire, Arcadian Adventures with the Idle Rich.

What is the treatment for polycythemia?
Comment on this
The treatment for polycythemia is generally dependent on the cause. In polycythemia vera or other primary polycythemia syndromes, the treatment options are more specific. Phlebotomy (drawing blood or blood letting) is the most essential part of the treatment. The recommended hematocrit of less than 45 in men and less than 42 in women is the goal of phlebotomy. Several medications have been considered in conjunction with phlebotomy to suppress the abnormal production of red blood cells. Most of these chemotherapeutic drugs have been linked with side effects and their use has been controversial and limited. The medication hydroxyurea (Hydrea) has been recommended for some patients with primary polycythemia and higher risk of blood clot formation due to high blood viscosity. The factors favoring treatment with hydroxyurea are age greater than 70, platelet count greater than 1.5 million, and general cardiovascular risk factors. Aspirin and other anti-platelet agents (dipyridamole) may also be beneficial in patients with polycythemia by reducing clotting complications, unless the patient has a history of bleeding problems. In patients with secondary polycythemia, the goal is to treat the underlying condition. For example, in patients with lung or heart disease with hypoxia, appropriate management of these conditions along with oxygen supplementation is generally advised.

The Commonwealth Housing Task Force, an ad hoc group convened to address the state's housing economy, issued its first quarter Report on March 30. While the overall economic picture is still taking shape, signs indicate that we are in a growth mode, and that the current housing market in Massachusetts appears to be stabilizing. There are many positive details to report. Here's a brief summary of what's going on in the Commonwealth:
• Banker and Tradesman reported good news about home and condominium sales in Massachusetts through the end of March, with the highest February numbers in five years. Since housing starts and sales are important bellwethers of the economy, with substantial spin-off effects as new owners and renters purchase equipment, furnishings, etc., that number is very good news for Massachusetts.
Quick housing statistics overview (source B&T):• A total of 2,350 single-family homes sold in Massachusetts last month, the highest sales volume for the month of February in five years.• February home sales rose 33% statewide - an increase from 1,765 sales in February 2011. This is the largest sales volume recorded during the month since 2007.• The 33% gain represents the sharpest increase in year-over-year sales volume since May 2010 when sales rose almost 35%. This is the second consecutive month that sales are on the upswing. • So far this year, single-family home sales are up 15.8% from a year ago. Statewide, a total of 4,764 transactions were completed in the first two months in the year, up from 4,114 during the same period in 2011.• February condominium sales also increased last month. There were 892 condo sales in February, up almost 18% from 757 sales during the same month last year. Year-to-date condo sales also rose 5.3% to 1,789 from 1,699 last year.
On other fronts:• The MassWorks Infrastructure Program is now operational, providing infrastructure grants for market rate and affordable housing development projects, and should be a natural complement to development in Chapter 40R districts across the state. In November, 2011, the Patrick-Murray Administration approved 23 new MassWorks grants, bringing the state's total investment in MassWorks to nearly $61 million, supporting thousands of jobs in Massachusetts communities
• Under the leadership of newly-appointed Undersecretary Aaron Gornstein, the MA Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) will operate the new Housing Development Incentive Program, designed to facilitate the development of primarily market rate housing in existing non-residential properties in new Housing Development Zones in "Gateway" Cities in Massachusetts.
• Progress continues on Chapter 40R, an incentive-based alternative to Chapter 40B. 40R allows municipalities to proactively identify and zone growth districts. Under Chapter 40R, 33 Smart Growth zoning districts have been approved in 31 municipalities, totaling approximately 12,350 zoned units, with continuing interest in many more. More than 50 cities and towns in the Commonwealth have either passed Chapter 40R districts, or are in some stage of consideration. To date, construction has been completed or begun on 1,270 housing units, with an additional 1,275 units expected to break ground over the next six months, and 9,000 pre-zoned units remaining in the development pipeline.

Want to watch episodes of "Orange is the New Black" on your next coast-to-coast flight? (Trust me: you do.) Too bad: in-flight Wi-Fi doesn't allow for Netflix streaming.
What you need is a way to "record" the series for offline viewing on your laptop, phone, or tablet -- a DVR of sorts for Netflix and other services. That's PlayLater in a nutshell.
A lifetime subscription to the service would normally cost you $79.99 (and many would say it's well worth it), but for a limited time, you can get a lifetime PlayLater subscription for $39.99. … Read more

It's my last project. Reproduction of Windows 8 Customer Preview logon screen. With password to type.
You can slide (see screenshoot) to unlock second textfield for password change - for change you must type your password to top and new to bottom. Default is 0000. I can give you code to reset password. It's easy, but I think you won't like to search it... I know that buttons are ugly, but I haven't graphic editing skill :/ In 1.1 maybe will be better. Image from second screenshoot (you must drag it up before type password) is from /lockscreen/drag.jpg. You can use your own user icon - lockscreen/avatar.jpg.

The Gamma Knife machine uses 192 beams of targeted radiation to treat brain tumors.
The Gamma Knife is not actually a knife at all. It is an advanced piece of equipment used to treat tumors and other abnormalities in the brain without an incision and with minimal effect on surrounding healthy tissue. For patients whose age or medical condition rules out surgery, the Gamma Knife can be a lifesaving tool.
The Gamma Knife works by focusing 192 beams of precisely targeted radiation on malignant or benign tumors that cannot be reached through surgery, are multiple in number or are resistant to other forms of radiation therapy. Gamma Knife treatment is highly effective for smaller brain lesions and those that are near critical structures in the head, such as the brain stem and cranial nerves.
Gamma Knife procedures typically are performed on an outpatient basis, significantly reducing hospital stays and costs. Another benefit is fewer complications. Because this outpatient treatment is minimally invasive, most patients can resume normal activities the day after their procedure.
The Gamma Knife used to treat Siteman Cancer Center patients is operated through an agreement between HealthSouth and Barnes-Jewish Hospital in partnership with Washington University School of Medicine. It is the only Gamma Knife program in the St. Louis area.
For more information about Gamma Knife treatment at Siteman, visit the Gamma Knife of St. Louis website.

Not directly a boat design, but connected to boats and stability!
Anyone interested in building his or her own upright floating boathook? There was ago an article in WBon the topic a couple of years ago, giving some empirical data for the problem. I thougt it would be interesting to solve the problem theoreticaly. It works:
Here is how you use the diagrams shown below: Get a nice boat hook fitting and weigh it to get its mass. Select a wooden handle in terms of diameter and wood type and, using the upper diagrams showed below, find out (for your hook mass, wood type and handle diameter) the maximum length of the handle allowed for a stable, upright swimming boat hook (if the fitting is attached!). The corresponding floating height (i.e. the length of handle out of the water) can be seen from the next, lower diagram in the row. Shortening the handle is possible, and will not affect its ability to swim upright - but will give lower heights until it finally will sink.
You may want take out your spokeshave to shape the part of the wooden handle which is out of the water according to the sketch below. If you do so, you will increase beauty, usability and swimming height. How much swimming height will you gain by doing so? See the lowest diagram in the row.
Did I explain well enough?

Issue: A reader asked whether Wauwatosa residents are required to rake their leaves, and, if so, what can be done to enforce the policy.
Status: Bill Porter, director of public works, said the city Property Maintenance Section gets involved when there are general issues about properties not being maintained, such as when trash bins are overflowing or there is junk in the yard. However, failure to rake leaves probably does not qualify as an issue that would force the city to invoke property maintenance codes, he explained.
Residents who notice a yard they feel is not being maintained can contact the Property Maintenance Section at (414) 479-8981 or file a complaint online at Wauwatosa.net/requesttracker.aspx.
