Hi all,
I have never used Omnifocus but after seeing a number of reviews/write ups on it I was just wondering is there a good substitute for Omnifocus but on a Microsoft based computer?
Kind regards,
Evernote. It does not have nearly as many features, but that might be good. Check out "TheSecretWeapon". I've used that a lot when I was still PC based.
Now, I'd probably use Outlook. We set this up on my spouse's PC after watching a webinar here on GTD Connect and we followed the setup guide. I must say it works very beautifully. Everything is integrated and easy to get to.
I had a brief look at "thesecretwork" and I couldnt find out 'exactly' what it was all about although I did notice that it uses Evernote as a basis for its program. Can you elaborate more on its functions?
Also, at the moment I havent got Outlook although when I upgrade to the new Windows 8 I will definately consider getting it (at the moment I only use Yahoo mail - and have done so for many years)!
Kind regards,
P.s. did you use the Outlook program as is or set it up in any particular way? Whether that be setting up yourself or with an Outlook GTD plug-in etc?
Regarding The Secret Weapon:
It's a short little video series about how to setup Evernote to use for projects and action lists.
Evernote itself is just a program that saves notes, pictures etc. It supports folders and tags and The Secret Weapon makes use of these features to setup the basic GTD lists.
It won't however help you with your calendar, emails, etc.
Regarding Outlook:
Nope, just plain vanilla Outlook. We followed the guide you can download here on GTD Connect. It's very step-by-step with screenshots. It took us maybe an hour to setup the barebones system.
[edit] To make things as easy as possible, I'd go with a program such as Outlook, which has been vetted by the GTD team, and their coaches use it successfully for years. My thinking is, the root cause of a faulty system is either the user or the tools. Since the GTD team went through the trouble of going through an elaborate vetting process, I'd use that, which leaves me with only one point of failure: Me! :-) If I can't make a vetted tool work that the GTD coaches themselves use, the problem is probably between my ears.
Warm regards,
What does your wife use for mobile GTD? Does she use Outlook, and, if so, how and on what kind of phone (or tablet)?
Not much mobility going on! I manage the Errands list for both of us in OmniFocus (I'm on a Mac setup). He uses his iPhone as capture device though, sending emails to himself.
I did a quick google search on "sync outlook iphone" and I had a few hits with setup tutorials. I'd share the links but I'm located in Germany, and all those links where in German. :(
Thank you for the reply -- and for being so gracious about my evidently incorrect assumption!
Hi oliver_r,
As the title suggests I did as you suggested and downloaded the Outlook (2010) GTD set-up Guide. (I originally set it up on my home computer but it wouldn't sync over to my BlackBerry Torch phone due to a yahoo connection error : ( so in the end set it up on the work computer).
It is only early days yet but after using it for the first time today I have to admit that it has helped me to be more organised for the day. I like the idea of organising it based on contexts and also being computer based which means that if I require any information I can simply bring up the particular category that I need and print it off - or sync to my BlackBerry - which I can do on the work computer.
I will report back in a month or so to let yous know how I am going with it but yeah so far it is a winner (especially when you consider that I was using paper and had to write out my daily list either the day before or in the morning of the next work day - very tedious work indeed). The GTD system through Outlook is definitely a great time-saver!!
Kind regards,

North Korea plans to launch a rocket carrying a satellite between December 10 and 22, a spokesman for the Korean Committee for Space Technology said Saturday, according to state-run media.
The Unha-3 rocket will launch from the Sohae Space Center in North Phyongan Province and put a "working satellite" into orbit, the report by the official Korean Central News Agency said.
The planned launch is unusual because it comes during the wintertime and only months after a failed attempt in April.
On that occasion, Pyongyang also said the rocket was supposed to put a satellite into orbit, but the launch was seen by many other countries as cover for a ballistic missile test and drew international condemnation.
U.S. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said another launch "would be a highly provocative act that threatens peace and security in the region."
It would be also in direct violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions 1718 and 1874, under which North Korea is barred from testing ballistic missile technology, she said in a statement.
"Devoting scarce resources to the development of nuclear weapons and long-range missiles will only further isolate and impoverish North Korea," she said. "The path to security for North Korea lies in investing in its people and abiding by its commitments and international obligations."
The North's failed launch in April soured relations with the United States and scuppered a deal for Washington to provide thousands of tons of food aid to the North's malnourished population.
KCNA said a second version of the same Korean-made Kwangmyongsong-3 satellite is to be launched this time.
Scientists and technicians have analyzed the mistakes made in April, when the rocket broke apart shortly after takeoff, and have worked to improve the reliability and precision of the satellite and carrier rocket, the news agency reported.
The "polar-orbiting earth observation satellite" will blast off southward on a trajectory designed so that parts of the carrier rocket that fall during the launch will not land on neighboring nations, the news agency said.
It said North Korea had acted with utmost transparency on its last "peaceful scientific and technological satellite launch," and would "fully comply with relevant international regulations and usage" this time too.
South Korea's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade expressed "serious concern" Saturday over its neighbor's planned launch, saying it was a "long-range missile test in the name of working satellite."
If the North goes ahead with the launch as intended, "it will be faced with a strong response," the ministry's statement said.
"The launch is a severe provocation as it is ignoring the concern and warning from the international community and is a direct challenge to the international community as a whole," it said.
South Korea will work closely with the international community, including fellow members of the so-called six-party talks on North Korea -- the United States, Japan, China and Russia -- to stop Pyongyang's "provocative act," it added.
UK Foreign Secretary William Hague also condemned the planned launch and urged the North Korean authorities to abandon the project.
"Failure to do so must lead to a further response by the international community, and will damage the prospects for peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula," he said in a statement.
The botched launch in April drew stern criticism from the U.N. Security Council, which repeated demands for Pyongyang not to carry out similar tests in the future. It followed attempts in 2006 and 2009 that were also judged by international experts as having failed.
News of the latest planned launch does not come as a complete surprise to North Korea watchers.

Volume 35, Number 32 Weekly Summary for Sep 10-Sep 16 Issued September 17, 2012 Small Grain Planting Underway All Mesonet stations received measurable rainfall, with a statewide average of 0.81 of an inch. Most of the state saw less than an inch, but northeastern Oklahoma had totals as high as 3.8 inches in Jay, OK. Moisture was well-received by producers preparing to plant small grains, but had limited effects on row crops. Wheat planting was slightly behind the five-year average by the end of the week. Harvest of corn and sorghum continued ahead of normal, while more than half of all sorghum, soybeans and cotton were rated in poor to very poor condition. A cold front brought showers and cooler temperatures that averaged from the mid 60s to low 70s. Topsoil moisture conditions improved, with 17 percent rated adequate, the most since the first week of July. Subsoil moisture conditions improved slighted, but 94 percent of the state was still rated short to very short. There were 5.5 days suitable for field work. Small Grains: Wheat and rye planting gained momentum over the past week. Wheat seedbed preparation was 63 percent complete by the end of the week, and eight percent was planted. Rye seedbed preparation was 61 percent complete, and 11 percent was planted by Sunday. Almost half of oat seedbed preparation was complete by week's end. Seedbed preparation was complete on 63 percent of canola fields by Sunday, 10 points behind last year's progress, and a small portion of planting was reported as complete. Row Crops: Conditions for cotton, sorghum and soybeans were rated mostly poor to very poor. Ninety percent of the corn was mature by Sunday, 13 points ahead of normal. The corn harvest was 62 complete by the end of the week, 14 points ahead of the five-year average. Sorghum headed reached 91 percent complete and 75 percent of the crop was coloring. Sorghum mature reached 48 percent complete by week's end, and 31 percent of the sorghum crop was harvested, 22 points ahead of normal. Soybeans blooming reached 96 percent complete and 84 percent of the crop was setting pods by Sunday. Soybean plants reported as mature reached 14 percent by the end of the week. The peanut crop was 41 percent mature by the end of the week. Eighty-six percent of cotton plants were setting bolls by the end of the week and half had bolls opening. Hay: Conditions continued to be rated mostly poor to very poor. The third cutting of alfalfa was 93 percent complete and a fourth cutting of alfalfa was 50 percent complete by Sunday, 20 points behind normal. The second cutting of other hay reached 62 percent complete. Pasture and Livestock: Conditions of pasture and range continued to be rated mostly poor to very poor. While the rainfall may benefit fall forage growth, it was not enough to produce run-off for stock ponds in most areas. Livestock conditions were rated mostly good to fair. Prices for feeder steers less than 800 pounds averaged $144 per cwt. Prices for heifers less than 800 pounds averaged $135 per cwt.

Only corrupt politician hacks that slither through the State House in Harrisburg could possibly oppose the privitazation of the State monopoly on liquor sales in Pennsylvania. Governor Corbett is again taking on the government union drones that are ruining the finances of the state. Fast Eddie Rendell did nothing about this outrage in his 8 years as governor, because he and his Democratic cronies are bought and sold by the unions. Pennsylvanians are stuck with a Prohibition era system of State owned and operated liquor stores. You cannot buy alcohol anywhere but State stores and Beer distributors. It's a monopoly that drives prices sky high, reduces selection, increases the inconvenience for every person in PA, and pays for the gold plated pensions of 3,500 retail union government drones. This antiquated, inefficient, expensive joke of a system is kept in place by corrupt politicians to benefit 3,500 drones at the expense of the 12.7 million Pennsylvanians who are plagued by high prices and limited selection.
Corbett's plan would end the monopoly, allow alcohol to be sold at grocery stores, Costco, and anyone willing to pay for a new license. Prices would plummet, as free market competition would work its magic. The selection and convenience for customers would increase dramatically. And it would raise $1 billion of revenue for the schools. And here is why I despise government unions. The school systems across the state are being destroyed by the pension payouts to the union teacher gold plated funds put into place and not funded by prior administrations. These same government union workers will fight Corbett's plan to privatize the State stores, even though the money raised will go towards the school budgets. Theses unions don't care about students or taxpayers. They only care about getting as much out of the taxpayer as they can and funneling money to politicians who protect their interests.
Polls show there is overwhelming support for privatizing the state stores. So what will the politicians do? They will ignore the will of the people and vote against Corbett's plan. Remember TARP? Over 90% of Americans were against it. What did the politicians do?
Reactions mixed to liquor store privatization plan
By Stacy Wescoe
There was mixed reaction today to Gov. Tom Corbett's announcement that he would pursue the privatization of the state's liquor stores.
"The governor presented a compelling, comprehensive plan today, as have other lawmakers who support sweeping changes to the manner in which alcohol is sold and distributed in the commonwealth," Pennsylvania Chamber President Gene Barr said. "It is long past time for the state to get out of the liquor business; it is not a core function of state government. We believe a responsible private system would better improve the buying experience for customers by promoting competitive pricing and increased convenience, while continuing to generate revenue for the commonwealth."
The proposal would provide opportunities for numerous outlets – from "big box" stores to convenience stores – to sell alcohol, while giving new options to restaurants, hotels and taverns, said Barr.
He said Pennsylvania Chamber members support privatization efforts, and stressed that Pennsylvania residents also overwhelmingly support changes to the current system beyond privatization of liquor sales.
The proposal also received backing from the Citizen's Alliance of Pennsylvania.
"Our 'state store' system is a relic of the Prohibition. The current system is wasteful, inefficient, and inconvenient. Its time (if it ever had one) is long gone," said Alliance Executive Director Leo Knepper.
Meanwhile another group, the Keystone Research Center encouraged Gov. Corbett to abandon the proposal to dramatically increase the number of retail outlets for beer, wine and spirits in the state.
"The proposal could cost the commonwealth revenue that won't be invested in education, health services and a stronger economy," said Stephen Herzenberg, Ph.D., an economist and executive director of KRC. "It will also radically increase alcohol accessibility and the resulting social costs."
The union representing Pennsylvania liquor store workers, the United Food and Commercial Workers, opposes the plan as well, saying it would eliminate the jobs of 3,500 members of UFCW Local 1776 and Local 23. It called for the modernization of the stores versus privatization.

Gloves, moisturizer, mild soap essential for skin care in winter

This bimonthly magazine profiles successful Central Ohio women and delivers the latest in fashion, shopping, beauty, home decor and more.
During winter, experts say, it's important to take steps to protect skin.
Dr. Jennifer M. Ridge of Comprehensive Dermatology in Middletown, Ohio, offers these tips:
• "Protect exposed skin. . . . Many people forget a scarf and gloves, and (intend) to only be out in the elements for a short while, but they are typically exposed to dry air for much longer. Winter air is very dry with a low index of humidity. . . . Layer clothing so some can be removed and others remain to retain heat and moisture."
• "Provide extra moisture to combat the drying environment. Many people skip moisturizing their skin after their bath or shower, but winter is the one time of year when you do not want to skip this step. . . . Keep water intake high, too, to prevent dehydration."
• "Avoid products that contain strong detergents and fragrances. Around the holidays, many people receive gifts of fragranced body washes and lotions, but, unfortunately, these frequently will cause irritation — especially in dry weather. While many people can tolerate these items easily during humid months, most should avoid these during the dry months. . . . Use mild soaps with extra moisture."
• "Pamper yourself. Many people have problems with hand dermatitis that . . . (becomes) exaggerated during the winter months. . . . Purchase a simple paraffin-wax unit that can be kept on during the dry months and used on a nightly basis."
• "Don't forget sunscreen. Just because it is cold outside doesn't mean that you don't need to protect your skin from the sun. . . . Participating in winter activities and sports can cause just as much sun damage as the summertime activities and sports. This catches many people by surprise, and they return from skiing, snowboarding and sledding with sunburns that are extra-intense because the light actually bounces off the snow very easily."

Archer Daniels Midland on Monday raised its bid for Australia's GrainCorp to US$2.9 billion in cash from $2.8 billion, as the U.S. agribusiness group seeks to expand its geographic reach.
ADM is now offering A$12.20 (US$12.73) per share in cash, up from its prior bid of A$11.75. Including a recently announced dividend of 35 cents per share, which GrainCorp shareholders would be able to keep, ADM said its new offer is for A$12.55 per share.
ADM said the new proposal reflected the value of GrainCorp's business, taking into account its 2012 results, new initiatives and dividends announced on Nov. 15.
ADM said it acquired an additional five per cent of GrainCorp for the new offer price, raising its stake to 19.9 per cent.
The offer comes at a time of dramatic consolidation in the global grains sector amid intense competition to feed fast-developing countries seeking food security.
GrainCorp is the last available independent asset of scale in Australia, which is an attractive market due to stable policies and good links to Asia.
GrainCorp rejected ADM's earlier bid, saying it undervalued GrainCorp after a bumper harvest delivered a record annual net profit. At the time, analysts and shareholders said they expected a higher offer, or offers from rivals.
ADM said its offer was subject to due diligence, which it is ready to begin immediately.
ADM CEO Patricia Woertz said the bid offered more certainty, greater value and immediate returns than GrainCorp's standalone plan.
A GrainCorp spokesman was not immediately available to comment. -- Reuters

Reaching twenty-one was a monumental milestone in my life, but for reasons not typically associated with a person's entrance into adulthood. My birthday always fell on final's week at University, so I hadn't been able to celebrate because typically I would be cramming for an exam. There was a rather zaftig and pushy young woman in the theatre department named Ronnie, who shared the same birthday with me. She had been insisting for over a week on buying my first drink on my twenty-first birthday. I tried to explain to her this certainly would not be my first drink, since I had been boozing shortly after arriving on campus. Well, she showed up at my apartment anyway around 9:00 p.m. on our shared birthday, insisting on taking me to a bar where the theatre crowd hung out to buy, what she now termed, my first legal drink. I had literally just begun typing a final paper due at noon the next day for a Modern Poetry class (my topic: Comparing THE LOVE SONG OF J. ALFRED PRUFROCK With the Beatles' WHY DON'T WE DO IT IN THE ROAD). I told her I would go, but for only one drink and she would have to promise to bring me back by 10:00.
Off we went and by the time we arrived at Carson's Bar, loads of friendly faces were there and we ended up taking over this big booth – me in the middle and crammed on both sides with good friends. Ronnie ordered me a Harvey Wallbanger, which might have been my very first. I remember drinking it quickly, sensing my time constraint, while other offers were being politely turned down with 'my final paper needing to be written' excuse. But there was an insistent somebody, I don't quite remember who anymore, who sent a second drink my way. The lovely, fruity concoction did go down so very easily. We all of us got to carrying on, having lots of fun as we always did, and it was about 10:30 and my departure deadline had now been postponed to 11:00 p.m. – no later! It was at this time that the fatal third Wallbanger arrived, I believe from a theatre professor named Duane, and I finished it quickly, just in time to start for the door with Ronnie, car keys in hand. The last thing I remember is standing up and pulling on my winter coat. Then came blackness.
Early morning winter sunlight was glaring into my left eyeball and the ugly Harvest Gold carpet of my apartment through my right. I was lying face down on the living room floor, only a few steps beyond the front door. Still in my coat, Ronnie or somebody had literally dropped me off and I had collapsed in a drunken heap exactly where they'd left me. It was early morning and evidently I had fallen asleep with my right arm twisted underneath me and there it had remained until I groggily attempted to pull myself up into a vertical position. Surprisingly my wallbangered head seemed relatively fine. The only thing on my mind, as I was slowly getting my bearings, was the paper which was still in draft form all over my tiny kitchen table next to my antique Royal upright typewriter. Thank God I'm a fast typist (65 wpm), I thought. I had to have this in my English Prof's mailbox in a few hours. This was the last day of finals; my roommate had gone home the day before as had many students, since it was Christmas break. I needed to make some coffee and take a fast shower to get going on the task at hand, so I started moving, waiting for my arm to join the rest of my awakening body, but the familiar pins and needles sensation seemed not to be kicking in as Nature had ordained.
I struggled to execute the once simple task of setting up the electric coffee percolator, this time one-armedly, and then dragged my lifeless right appendage along with the rest of my body into the bathroom. A wonderful hot shower was all I needed to get the blood flowing, I thought to myself. Twenty minutes of hydrotherapy and rubbing and slapping, yet it still hung lifeless and limp at my side like a flaccid donkey dick. Oh my God I was crazed! Damn that obnoxious Ronnie – this was all her fault and now what the hell was I supposed to do? I was naked, wet and literally wailing, struggling to dry myself off, totally unable to cope in my new left-handed world. I was still waiting for either my arm or myself to wake up from this nightmare, but neither happened. It took me over three hours to type the eight double-spaced pages with my left hand/one finger technique, but I made it to the English building about a half hour before deadline. I was relieved but desperate to find a friendly shoulder to cry on about my affliction. I headed for the Theatre, in hopes that someone would be there to commiserate in my hour of need.
The usually busy lobby would typically be filled with students coming and going at lunch time, but it was nearly empty save for a few staff members. I headed towards the Green Room and met my friend Dennis milling about himself. His parents lived in town, so he wasn't going anywhere for break. I asked if he had time to get lunch and in minutes we were out the door and off to our friendly diner. On the walk there I gave him my drunken night before's tale, explaining the infirmity I was now left with. He was actually the perfect person to deal with in this instance because he was cool-headed and no-nonsense. He told me just what I wanted to hear: "It'll go away". Here was a theatre person, so he could easily filter out the drama of the situation from the reality and stated that obviously I would live to see another birthday and eventually everything would be all right. My parents were coming to pick me up the next morning to drive me home. Moms usually manage to make things better, we decided, so we enjoyed our lunch together as I bassackwardly attempted to eat and drink with my left hand. The only thing I could accomplish successfully now was to light and smoke cigarettes and Dennis and I did a lot of that whenever we were together.
The next morning my arm seemed a bit better. At least I was able to feel the presence of it pulling on my shoulder, but I could not make it move at either elbow or wrist without manipulating it with my good hand. The right hand was useless, literally 100% dead. Now I was not only worried about my arm, but about how and what I would tell my parents. They arrived at the apartment early and wanted to go out to the Pancake House for breakfast. I said I'd rather just go straight home. They were taking my suitcases and all the stuff I gathered together for the next three weeks at home to the car, so I was able to hide my incapacity from them. I sat in the back seat, with Dad at the wheel and Mom in the passenger seat. I felt about eight-years-old again, but at least at that age all my limbs were totally functional. I wanted to cry. I was so scared to tell them my news because I was afraid of what came next, certain now that this drunken consequence had to be permanent.
"I can't use my right arm at all", I told them, condensing the story as much as I could. Dad enjoyed the fact that I drank so much I passed out – some sort of rite of passage badge, apparently. My mother had turned around in her seat and was questioning symptoms: how long had it been like this, just how dead was it, even resorting to feeling my forehead testing for fever – pulling out all her Mom-as-nurse protocol. "Do you think it could be something serious?", I spit out the question that had been stuck in the back of my throat since this had all come to pass. "Well you know", she deliberately paused for emphasis, "your great-grandfather had his stroke in his early forties", as though he and I shared some genetic family curse. "But I'm only twenty-one!", I nearly sobbed. She knew I might legally be an adult, but I had just shown I was still her baby. "We'll go right to Dr. Grayson's office. He'll be able to squeeze you in at some point today". I felt better already. Although I didn't want to admit it to my mother, I knew my great-grandfather had a stroke very early in his life, and I did fear that this was the reason my arm still lay dead in my lap in the backseat of the car.
The good news was it had nothing to do with the Harvey Wallbangers or a stroke, my doctor explained to me early that same afternoon. I had lain so long on my poor arm with the weight of my body cutting off the circulation, that I'd killed a large nerve center in the elbow which fed most of the arm. It would take weeks for the nerves to regenerate, and there was a slight chance of some nerve loss, but the arm would regain its full function and I would soon live an ambidextrous life once again. I had to go through physical therapy throughout the three-week Christmas break, graduating only when I could successfully squeeze a soft rubber ball, making a fist with the reawakened hand. And, by the way, I got an A on my Modern Poetry paper.
We are so often a bit too eager to reach adulthood, looking forward only to the freedom and independence that we believe it will afford us. There I was, finally twenty-one-years-old, and all I still really needed was for Mommy to kiss my boo-boo and make it all better.

MAINE (AP) -- A New York man accused of fatally stabbing a Maine man and injuring his wife last year refused to enter a plea at his arraignment after claiming the Maine court had no jurisdiction in the case.
A judge in Cumberland County Criminal Court on Monday entered a not guilty plea to a murder charge on behalf of 30-year-old Tareek Hendricks.
Prosecutors say Hendricks killed 40-year-old Robert Stubbs of Westbrook in April 2011 and injured Stubbs' wife.
Police say Hendricks came to Maine to sell drugs, although he is not facing drug charges.
Hendricks was arrested in Syracuse, N.Y, earlier this month.
The Portland Press Herald reports that Hendricks said he did not want a lawyer.
He is being held without bail pending a bail hearing scheduled for Aug. 9.

KCAC didn't need to do end-around on game's cancellationGames People PlayIt's understandable that officials decided Thursday to cancel the upcoming Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference football game between McPherson and Tabor colleges.In the wake of all that has happened in the last three weeks - the beating death of a Tabor player and the ensuing arrest of two former McPherson players - it's a defensible stand that was taken by KCAC Commissioner Scott Crawford, McPherson President Michael Schneider and Tabor President Jules Glanzer. Football is a violent game, and when the ultimate act of violence has been perpetrated, a football game - no matter how seemingly important it might be to conference standings and playoff possibilities - is simply inconsequential. More important, there was the potential for some bad blood - even if Crawford wasn't willing to admit that played into the decision. "We did what we thought was best for both institutions and the KCAC," Crawford said by phone Friday. "We've been talking about it for several weeks. We have been kicking around all kinds of ideas, trying to figure out what we should do." It acted correctly. Unfortunately, the KCAC's rationale for the cancellation of the Oct. 20 game in McPherson might be considered circumspect and - to some - disingenuous. The company line is this: the KCAC wants to honor the memory of Brandon Brown, while respecting the needs of an ongoing criminal investigation into his death last month following an altercation at a McPherson party. Neither of these reasons is plausible. It makes no sense that a football game could hinder a criminal investigation - unless the football field itself was a crime scene. And if that were the case, McPherson would be playing no football games there between now and Oct. 20. As for honoring a fallen football player, the best way to do so would probably be to simply play football. It was Brown's passion. It must have been because it brought him from California to a small campus in south-central Kansas at the not-so-tender age of 26. Ordinarily, we honor the dead by carrying on with life - and keeping them in our hearts. Tabor returned to the field Saturday and hosted unbeaten Kansas Wesleyan. There was a moment of silence and the two teams met on the field for a pregame prayer. It was appropriate and moving. Thirteen days from now, when a scheduled game with legitimate KCAC playoff ramifications is not played, we'll remember only Brown's death and the two players who will stand trial for their crimes. There will be no moving forward. Not yet anyway. Oct. 20 was the chance for the healing process to begin. Players from both teams could have met at midfield to shake hands and stand together for a pregame moment of silence for Brown. It was not a Tabor versus McPherson incident that played into Brown's death. There isn't a player on either team who wished for such tragedy. Having them stand together would have been symbolic and appropriate. It would have honored his memory far better than canceling the game. Then again, if there was the threat of bad blood between the two schools because of all that has happened, it makes sense that the game was canceled. In fact, that's the only reason the game should have been canceled. When Schneider, Glanzer and Crawford met Tuesday, the issue did come up, Crawford said. "We talked about the security issue," the commissioner said. "To be honest, they thought it was something that could be handled." But security relates to the people in the stands. Policing the 120 yards of gridiron might be more difficult. The best athletes on the football field play in a reckless fashion where tenacity is rewarded with a big play. They toe the line between aggressiveness and overzealous play. The added motivation of Brown's death might create opportunities for players to take cheap shots. When cheap shots start running rampant, that's when the fights begin. And that's when the officials can lose control. Once control is lost, chaos ensues. Rather than risking that happening - and clearly, there must have been indicators that something like this could happen - the decision was made to simply not play the game. "We want to make sure not to do anything to dishonor the memory of Brandon Brown," Crawford said. I get that. I support that notion. And the KCAC would have been better off just coming clean and letting it be known that was the reason it put the kibosh on a game that might have determined the KCAC championship and bids to the NAIA playoffs. "There are tiebreaker situations in place," said Crawford, who said he couldn't recall ever having a game canceled in his six years as KCAC commissioner. "That's not nearly as important to us as dealing with this situation." Unfortunately, the KCAC's method for dealing with it is to simply avoid it. That's not the way to honor someone's memory.

Bianco Research president James Bianco gives his outlook for the Fed and quantitative easing.

-- so many on Wall Street are expecting more Federal Reserve intervention this month.
Jim -- -- -- said that you know basically couple weeks ago -- even before the bad -- number he's with us now Bianco research -- thanks for being with us.
How much.
Percentage -- did the chances of QE3 go up.
After that bad jobs report on Friday.
I would have put the odds it like 5149.
You're gonna get QE before the jobs report and I put it at 75%.
Right now.
That you're gonna get it I think everybody's looking for I think the Fed's gonna start the debate it.
They don't have to do it right away because Operation Twist doesn't end until the end of the month.
But it's something that I think has very good odds of happening as the summer wears on and so July August what does that -- them.
I think that they'll probably announce it before Labor Day.
November 2010 every reacts about the politics of it in 2010 they actually did Bernanke hinted strongly -- so much everybody thought it was coming.
At the August.
Jackson hall meeting and he made it down -- of the day after the mid term election.
So you can't get an announcement something -- that during the summer and if they wanna push it off and started.
You know middle of November that that would be within the precedent that we saw in the last election cycle but at that point the market will expect it and those are trading as if it'd happened.
Well and if they do that some wondering what will stocks doing wire stuck doing analysis are supposed to be looking for for the next three to six months.
When are -- getting into the question there's always two questions with the -- what should they do and what will they deal.
And I think -- will they do is they would do QE3 I think they should they do -- should they -- has never done one into and twist.
I'm not a big fan of all of this.
And I think that the stock market is starting to realize that this doesn't work this meaning all this quantitative easing trying to push up the economy it does manipulate interest rates it may manipulate stock prices but it does not help the regular person that does that create jobs.
It may create higher gas prices so I think the stock markets had a -- data out.
And that it may not have the -- is that the Fed wants.
But the Fed only knows one thing -- since 2008 and that's doing quantitative easing so they'll probably do it and I don't expect much from it OK so that they will do it won't help stocks but that won't help the economy.
Just one quick 102 answer what should they do instead.
Nothing trust capitalism the markets are -- side that there's off balance in the economy.

Welcome to the Machine.
I don't know what you did, but it must have been horrible, to be sent here. The Machine is a very, very special prison. Only the worst criminals are sent there. It has an entrance, but... it doesn't have an exit. And nobody but the prisoners enter. There are no guards, no doctors, no nothing, but the prisoners themselves.
Or is there? Well, lets all just agree that they are the only HUMAN thing inside it.
For it won't be long till the prisoners start noticing other things inside The Machine, things that are not human... nor from nature. But that isn't the worst thing. The worst thing is the prison itself... It hears you, it sees you, and it can even talk to you... The Machine IS alive, and she likes to play with her prisoners.
This is your punishment, survive from, not only The Machine and the things that it holds, but also from the other prisoners. Rapists, murderers, thieves. Without guards or anything, you have to try to work together, but... how long will that last?
Well, we will see. We all the time in your world, because you'll be here forever.
The Machine is inspired my movies like Alien and Donnie Dark, songs like A New Machine Part 1 & 2 from Pink Floyd and SPECIALLY by the Silent Hill games.
The Machine is a horror semi-open world canon, in which a group of prisoners explore the place, and hopefully find the secret of The Machine and a way out. This RP has an proper beginning and ending, it's not a never ending story, and I expect it can last for, at least, a couple months.

You never know when inspiration will hit. For Len Kaminski, sous chef with Cura Hospitality at Sherwood Oaks in Cranberry Township, Pa., that moment was during a Boy Scout trip with his son. The troop was working on carving neckerchief slides out of wood. Most of the slides were fish, birds or leaves, but one—an American Indian face—so "enthralled" Kaminski that he's been carving Native Americans from wood ever since.
"In the early '90s I was on a camping trip with my son. One of the activities was wood carving, so there were a lot of men there who were whittlers. They assisted the boys in attaining merit badges by making neckerchief slides. There was one man who did a face of an Indian. I was enthralled by this. I proceeded to slowly take up this whittling to help other Scouts who didn't attend that function so they could get their merit badge.
I joined the local wood carving club, Chisels and Chips. I advanced and now I study with professional wood carving sculptors. Eighty-five percent of my carvings are American Indians. I am taking a class this year from one of the foremost instructors in the country on teaching people to carve the female face.
I do between 80 and 100 sculptures a year. I carve seven days a week. I find time every day, sometimes in the wee hours of the morning or the wee hours of the night, but I have to do that every day. The secret is practice.
I sell the sculptures. When the Council of Three Rivers American Indians have their powwow the vendors are American Indians showing American Indian art. The elders got together after seeing my work and said that if I had a sign stating that I wasn't an American Indian selling American Indian art that I could come. For the past four years they've invited me to attend. Usually that's my biggest time of the year. Sometimes I have eight to 15 hours in one piece, so it takes me a good many months to acquire a suitable collection to sell.
I do two types of pieces. One is a wall hanging. It's made out of cottonwood tree bark. The bark is three to five inches thick and four to seven inches wide. It reminds you almost of cork when you put your chisel in it. Those pieces are generally front view of Indians. A lot are Mohawk style and Plains Indian, in full headdress. Those are mostly the ones I sell at the powwow.
The other is made out of butternut, also known as white walnut. These are 3-D human-like carvings in the round. These pieces I've [entered] in competitions in the realistic human sculpture category.
When I'm going to do a piece in competition from butternut, I prepare for a week researching books. There is a man named Edward Curtis who photographed the American Indians. These are like the only authentic photographs of American Indians. I do a lot of research of his photographs because when you are carving for competition, it has to be historically accurate and anatomically correct. Let's say I have three actual photographs of American Indians and I have pictures of three sculptures that I found in a magazine or in a museum. As I start to carve I look at all of the photos for factors of realism and correct anatomy. I blend those six pictures into something that is my own creation. I never copy something that is someone else's work. Sometimes I use clay sculpture to help me visualize or understand how to carve something like the regalia or jewelry."

Wage and Hour Division (WHD)
Press Releases
U.S. Department of Labor |
230 employees of Georgia barbeque and seafood restaurant chain receive $104,000 in back wages following US Department of Labor investigation
This Is It! BBQ & Seafood also fined nearly $1,900 for child labor violations
FAYETTEVILLE, Ga. -- The U.S. Department of Labor has recovered $104,089 in back wages for 230 restaurant workers employed by Fayetteville-based This Is It! BBQ & Seafood at five of its Georgia locations. This action followed an investigation by the department's Wage and Hour Division that found violations of the minimum wage, overtime and record-keeping provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act. The department also fined the company $1,867 for allowing minors to work later than allowed by federal law.
"The restaurant industry is rife with wage violations and evasive business practices – such as paying employees 'off the books,' making illegal deductions from workers' wages and improperly classifying FLSA-covered employees as exempt from the act's overtime pay protections – all of which deny low-wage and vulnerable workers the pay guaranteed to them by law," said Oliver Peebles III, regional administrator of the Wage and Hour Division in Atlanta. "The Wage and Hour Division has stepped up its enforcement efforts to remedy systemic wage violations in high-risk industries in order to protect workers against such exploitation and ensure a level playing field for honest employers who play by the rules and pay fair compensation for all hours of their employees' work."
The investigation found that the company improperly classified employees as exempt from the FLSA and consequently failed to pay them time and one-half their regular rates for hours exceeding 40 in a workweek, as required under the act's overtime provisions. Investigators also found that tipped employees were not paid the minimum wage due to the company deducting uniform expenses and lunch breaks that employees did not take from their wages.
Additionally, workers younger than age 16 were allowed to work later than 9 p.m. between June 1 and Labor Day and later than 7 p.m. at other times of the year, in violation of the FLSA's restrictions for young workers. Finally, the company failed to maintain accurate records of tips earned and hours worked, in violation of the act's record-keeping provisions.
This Is It! BBQ & Seafood has agreed to maintain future compliance with the FLSA by keeping accurate records and paying full and proper wages for all hours that employees work. As part of this commitment, the business has retained a payroll company to assist with correctly computing overtime compensation for tipped employees.
The investigation by the Wage and Hour Division's Atlanta District Office covered the company's restaurants in Fayetteville, Lithonia, East Point and two locations in Decatur. Employees who worked at any of these restaurants between March 2009 and February 2011 should contact the Wage and Hour Division's Atlanta office at 404-893-4600 to find out whether they are owed any back wages.
The FLSA requires that covered nonexempt employees be paid at least the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour for all hours worked, plus time and one-half their regular rates for hours worked over 40 per week. The FLSA permits an employer to take a tip credit toward its minimum wage obligation for tipped employees equal to the difference between the required cash wage, which must be at least $2.13, and the federal minimum wage. The age of a young worker determines how many hours in a day or week he or she may work and at what times. Employers are also required to keep accurate records of all hours worked by covered employees.
For more information about this investigation, call the Wage and Hour Division's Atlanta office. For more information about the FLSA, call the division's toll-free helpline at 866-4US-WAGE (487-9243). Information is also available on the Internet at http://www.dol.gov/whd.

Dallas County Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management, in conjunction with participating jurisdictions within Dallas County, has completed a draft of the Updated Dallas County Multi-jurisdictional HazMAP and has scheduled a 14 day public comment period of the updated Hazard Mitigation Action Plan. This plan was made possible through a grant provided by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and administered by the Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM) and the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG). Click the link to access the Draft Plan. This comment period will give the public the opportunity to review the draft and make comments regarding the draft plan for Dallas County and the participating jurisdictions to include in the plan. We are asking that the public take this opportunity to make comments regarding the draft plan. Any comments or suggestions can be emailed to Michael Gaciri at email@example.com You may also print, fill out and forward the Public Comment Form to: Dallas County Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management The plan will be available for public comment until November 29, 2013. All comments received by this date will be reviewed and considered. FEMA Local Mitigation HandbookEmployees may access the text of the Hazard Mitigation Action Plan through the "Employee Access" page of the Dallas County Homeland Security and Emergency Management website. Frequently Asked Questions• What is the Hazard Mitigation Plan Update? Hazard Mitigation planning is a proactive effort to identify actions that can be taken to reduce the dangers to life and property from natural hazard events. Dallas County adopted a hazard mitigation plan in 2009 and FEMA regulations require that the plan be updated every five years. The Federal Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 requires that a community have an approved hazard mitigation plan in order to qualify for federal funding from the following grant programs. Some of the grant programs available include: • What goes into a hazard mitigation plan? A hazard mitigation plan assesses the community's risks and vulnerabilities to natural hazard events such as flooding, hurricanes, winter storms, and earthquakes. Each jurisdiction uses statewide data and information obtained directly from the community to make this assessment. The plan includes a set of goals related to the overall goal of hazard mitigation planning, an assessment of existing mitigation measures, and a set of new mitigation measures that will serve to advance the plan goals. The plan update will also look at implementation progress that has been made on mitigation measures from the previous plan. • How can the public become involved in the Hazard Mitigation planning process? Public participation is very important to the hazard mitigation planning process. FEMA requires a minimum of two public meetings. Dallas County has developed a Hazard Public Survey to allow the public to provide input and comments to the hazards in their communities. Additional comments may also be submitted through this webpage. A draft version of the updated plan will be posted here for review and comment.

Theres still that last chance for the PBSI to make amends, prehaps if they brought back Mulyo Handoyo then Taufik will stay....... But Taufik still has not officially been retired. Courtesy of the article below taken from www.worldbadminton.net
"We are discussing it. We have not made any decision yet," said PBSI secretary general Leo Wiranata. He said it was Hidayat's right to quit, but argued that the association also had rights over players, saying it had spent a considerable amount of money to groom them.
The world number four and 2000 Asian Champion announced on Tuesday that was to quit the sport after Indonesian coach Agus Dwi Santoso prevented him from playing at the ongoing Realkredit Denmark Open in Copenhagen.
The world bronze medallist has been unsettled at Indonesia's national badminton centre since PBSI terminated the contract of his coach, Mulyo Handoyo, back in June.
Hidayat has said he will continue his studies.

Re: Taufik Hidayat
Was informed that Taufik might go to Singapore as Mulyo Handoyo is now there. Everybody knew(including Taufik) that as a concession to Taufik's request that Mulyo contract will be renewed only until the World Championship in Barcelona. Taufik is a spoil brat, he didn't want to accept his share of the responsibility.
Re: Taufik Hidayat
The reason why he accepted for Mulyo's contract to be extended only until the end of the WC is because he was afraid that they might terminate his contract there..... So he wanted to keep Mulyo is the PBSI for as long as he could

The birthplace of democracy over 3500 years ago and home of the Parthenon, the Acropolis in Athens is a symbol and icon of not only democracy but of the many great and lasting contributions that the ancient Greeks made to Western society. The ideas used, discovered and explored by people like Plato and Aristotle are still applied in math, science and philosophy today. The ruins of this once great and highly advanced culture can be found not only in Athens but throughout the islands and at places like Delphi on the mainland.
Another big cultural attraction to Greece is the chance to see traditional Greek dancing, color and costumes made perhaps most famous by the book and then 1964 film 'Zorba the Greek' can be enjoyed at traditional Greek tavernas like the Taverna Gloupos on the Island of Corfu or at one of the many to be found hidden away in the Plaka district of Athens.
Even in the Greek Islands, in places like Mykonos and Santorini that are more famous for their partying and beautiful scenery, you will find ancient ruins like those on Dilos and the remains of Akatori.
Place on using this type of write-up, I significantly really feel this remarkable internet site requires considerably more consideration. I�ll likely be returning to go through through much more, thanks to the details!

In 1979 when Doug Timberlands For Men Clark graduated from the University of New Hampshire as a history major, he planned for career in teaching. But fate has a way of changing even the best laid plans, and instead, Clark's career has spanned a different kind of history, that of the modern running http://www.timberlanddiscounted.com/ shoe.
When he was hired as the third research lab Cheap Timberlands technician at Blue Ribbon Sports in Exeter, he stepped into a role that was previously held by Joan Benoit Samuelson. It was this lab, otherwise known as Nike East Coast, that was responsible for pioneering research in the (then) new field of biomechanics, and Clark was right in the thick of it. Instead of teaching, his career combined science, engineering and physiology, and he continues this today as CEO and founder Shoes Timberland of New England Footwear based in Newmarket.
During his career, which included positions at Nike, Reebok and Timberland men Timberland, Clark has studied numerous runners, filming their motion while running, performing gait analysis and measuring the impact forces created while running. While at Blue Ribbon Sports, he worked with Samuelson and runners Alberto Salazar, Mary Decker Slaney and Timberland women Carl Lewis to help to determine the best running shoes for each of them to wear in the 1984 Olympics, and found that some shoes were more efficient than others, and that even small changes can make a big difference. He also acknowledged that we are all different, and that it can be frustrating to Timberland kids find the right running shoe.

Welcome to the Certificate in Biotechnology RWU Blog!
I began the Certificate in Biotechnology program my junior year here at Roger Williams University, initially because I thought the certificate would be useful. It was a brand new program and our class was the first group of students to start the mandatory 38-credit program. Sixteen out of the required thirty-eight credits were also required for Biology majors in general, due to classes such as BIO 102: Biology I, BIO 200: Genetics, CHEM 191: Chemistry I, and CHEM 192: Chemistry II so it was a perfect fit into my schedule to finish the remaining classes.
