-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Corporate news transmitted by euro adhoc. The issuer/originator is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Strategic management decisions Subtitle: Asperas new US location in Boston is further boosting its market leadership Software license management is a dynamic growth market Services and expert on-site consulting by a knowledgeable and experienced management team Möglingen (euro adhoc) - The USU Group is intensifying its international involvement. In future the USU subsidiary Aspera will supply the US market with its established software license management products and solutions from its own branch in Boston, Massachusetts. Its American customers, such as Jacobs Engineering, Axa Equitable, General Dynamics, Denver Water and Texas Instruments will not only reap the benefits of German software quality, they will also find matching technical expertise and services on their doorstep. Software license management and the demand for suitable solutions are a rapidly growing market, particularly in the USA, and now Aspera can also offer single-source provision of the entire globally renowned ITIL-compliant USU portfolio for IT service management acclaimed by analysts such as Gartner and Forrester. In recent years, Aspera´s direct sales to the USA showed growth rates of over 30% p.a., and opening this local branch will serve as the basis for further expansion. The US team, under the leadership of Christof Beaupoil, an internationally experienced, ITIL-certified license management specialist who is also one of the founders and directors of Aspera, will be operating under the name Aspera Technologies Inc. "Aspera is a solid leader in the market for entitlement-centric software license management tools and services Adding a company-owned office and staff in the U.S. in 2012 will not only increase its international presence but also its credibility with U.S.-based customers", is the positive verdict of Steven Russman, analyst at US market researchers ECPweb.com and founder of the International Business Software Managers Association (IBSMA). Increasingly stringent compliance guidelines have made sublicensing a major risk factor for companies. Failure to comply can result in hefty sanctions up to and including fines and imprisonment. At the same time, optimized license management can also provide enormous cost benefits. In this area of competing interests, managers need to reduce the drastically increased costs for managing software licenses - substantially, sustainably and compliant with all requirements. The cost of implementing a license management system can normally be recouped within 12 months. Among others, Aspera´s portfolio includes the premium market product SmartTrack and the SME solution Licensum. And more than 120 customers worldwide already rely on Aspera´s software and services. By founding this new subsidiary the USU Group is reinforcing its own profile as a global player. In 2011 the Group´s earnings outside of Germany increased by around 60% to over 5.4 million euros, bringing the proportion of foreign business up to 12% of Group revenue. Before very long, by utilizing international partners and foreign subsidiaries to expand its worldwide presence, the USU Group aims to increase that figure to at least 15% of overall revenue. Other portfolio topics, such as knowledge management solutions, will increasingly also contribute to this. USU.

Big Country gun dealers react to President Obama's proposed gun control policies
Updated On: Jan 16 2013 08:35:27 AM CST
Since the Sandy Hook school shooting in Connecticut, President Barack Obama has been talking about strengthening gun laws.
According to some Abilene dealers, gun sales have spiked said the president mentioned gun control.
"I believe everybody's worried about our second amendment and what's going to take place with it," said Kenneth Hobbs, gun sales clerk at B&B Pawn and Trading.
Wednesday, the president will propose tighter regulations that Vice President Joe Biden and the administration have been working on for weeks.
The president's package may include some type of reinstatement of an assault weapon ban, restrictions on the sale of high-capacity magazines, and tougher background checks for the sale and transfer of a weapon.
Gun dealers said assault-type rifles are popular and commonly used for hunting in Texas.
"We have a lot of sportsmen in this area. They do a lot of hog hunting, a lot of deer hunting. Really they're a sports weapon in this area," Hobbs said.
One gun dealer said it couldn't hurt to beef up restrictions on who gets to buy a gun.
"I think better checks or maybe more checks would be okay. Background checks, especially if it has to do with the mentally ill," Hobbs said.
Gun control opponents in Congress have promised the president a political fight against tighter gun control policies.

It's a strange rivalry, but it exists. For decades cities have ragged on the suburbs and vice versa, poking fun at cultural and lifestyle differences both subtle and dramatic. Regardless of any individual biases, there are pros and cons to calling either home—diversity, school districts, parking, and nearby businesses all included. In this group show at Altered Esthetics, 25 artists will create works exploring both environments. Pieces range from book art to paintings to photography to sculpture. The opening reception is from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Friday, July 2. There will also be an artists' discussion panel at 1 p.m. on Saturday, July 17. (Toni Dachis, Glenwood Avenue)

*MFC 38: Behind Enemy Lines – Friday, October 4
*MFC 39: Outrage – TBA December

"There are countless thrilling moments and a ton of great memories from our events at the Shaw, and I am very positive there will be a mountain more to come.
"We're designing a great floor plan that will really accentuate our VIP and Row 1-3 tickets, and then have tiered seating for better vantage points throughout. With our production talents creating a great atmosphere plus the top-notch staff at the Shaw, the live experience for the Maximum Fighting Championship will be better than ever." (more…)

Name the cricketer who started his career as a wicket keeper but later became a great fast bowler? (Hint: He was a West Indian)

Wesley Winfield Hall (wes Hall) began his career as a wicket-keeper but soon switched to fast bowling, a role he could handle much more easily. He quickly emerged as the West Indies\' first great post-war fast bowler. With one of the longest run-ups in Test cricket, he bowled genuinely fast - and for very long spells throughout a day. During the Lord\'s Test of 1963 he bowled unchanged for over three hours on the final day!!Answered by dharamender nebhnani, 08 Oct '09 12:38 am

Everyone has this predefined concept of what limousines service is all about. It's all about the great looking car cruising down the street and having everyone give you the eye. But the truth is: there's more to limo shuttle service than just that. For starters, most limousines service companies provide you a well-mannered, articulate and pleasant driver to chaperon you on your trips. This means that you can get a ride on a really cool looking car, have someone there who can help you with your bags, tell you all about the sights and hold a decent conversation as well. If you are currently looking into limousine shuttle services, here are some things you might want to know.
1. You need to shop around. One way of getting value for your money is to shop around for a company or companies that offer limos service. There are usually scores of companies that have websites where you can compare rates, look into what promos are applicable for the moment and even provide you the liberty to book online. If possible, try to pick book your ride weeks or months in advance so that you can get the ground transportation service (e.g. limousine model and the driver / chauffeur, especially if that is part of the choice) that you prefer.
Some companies do specialize in providing quick or express transportation to airports. The driver and whatever vehicle is available will be waiting for you even if you give them only a few hours notice. That will do in a pinch. However, if you are looking into great service, it is advisable to book at least several days in advance.
You should likewise check up on their specific airport limo services to see what you might get if you patronize the company. Aside from the usual service of being picked up from the airport and deposited to your designated hotel (and back again,) or being driven everywhere you need to be while you are in the city, usually there are also additional benefits to hiring airport limousine services like being served drinks that you have personally requested, flowers for the ladies, a personal tour guide, etc.
However, one of the best ways of getting great service is to ask for recommendations from your friends, family members, colleagues and business associates. You do have to remember that a fancy website does not usually translate to getting great service when it comes to airport limousines.
2. Patronize one company, if possible. Here is the deal: if you have the good fortune of finally finding a limousine company that provides you with excellent service or you happen to get along with the driver of your ride, try to request the same car and chauffer each and every time. This way, you do not have to send over your list of must-haves when you are in town. Your limousines service company would try very hard to keep you happy, in order to earn repeated business from you or even future recommendations to others.
3. Always ask for the specific car and driver you need. So maybe you are not traveling alone this time round. True, you could probably fit your group of 7 into the limousine but that would certainly cramp everyone's style. It would be better to hire limousine buses for the meantime. These buses are more spacious but would provide your group the same luxuries of being riding in a limo. Try to see if the limousine company you are patronizing has bus limo service as well. If not, try to ask them what other companies they might recommend.

The heart of the Honors curriculum is a sequence of courses taken during the freshman and sophomore years. These courses work together to provide a comprehensive overview of the intellectual and social forces which have shaped the modern world. Each semester in this sequence is devoted to an integrated study of the art, history, literature, music, philosophy and religion of a particular period. In addition, special courses in mathematics and the sciences for non-science majors help to bring out these disciplines' important role in contemporary society. This sequence is followed by two courses in the junior year which focus on different social and ethical problems of the modern world.
The capstone of the Honors curriculum is the senior thesis, an extended research project prepared under the individual guidance of a faculty mentor in one's major field. Graduate and professional schools, as well as prospective employers, recognize the thesis as a clear indication of a student's ability to do independent work at an advanced level. Recent theses have examined topics as diverse as the roles of women in modern films, the constitutional implications of total quality management, and the effects of cellular aging on human chromosomes.
The Honors curriculum takes the place of the regular Fordham College at Rose Hill Core Curriculum, with the exception of the language requirement. Credit is, of course, granted for certain advanced placement courses taken in high school and for college courses taken elsewhere, though we try to minimize any exemptions from Honors courses to preserve the integration and integrity of the program. Most students enter the program at the beginning of their first year, though it is possible for a certain number of students with strong academic records to join in the middle of that year and at the beginning of their sophomore year. Because Honors courses usually take the form of small seminars of no more than fourteen students, enrollment in the program is necessarily limited to around twenty-five students each year. Members of the program are normally expected to maintain a grade average of 3.5. Successful completion of the program entitles the student to the designation in cursu honorum on the diploma and the transcript.

Private thoughts from the late Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, are to be revealed to the public next month when her long-awaited autobiography goes on sale.
The book, by William Shawcross, includes numerous transcripts that the Queen Mother secretly recorded before her passing in 2002 at the age of 101.
Both the Queen and Prince Charles were interviewed for the book, and have each read the completed manuscript.
The British monarch approved writer William, who is a close friend of the Duchess of Cornwall.
And the thoughts of the late Queen Mother are eagerly anticipated. She only ever gave one interview in her life, when she became engaged to the Duke of York at the age of 22.
The book - titled Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother: The Official Biography, and described as "the definitive portrait of a remarkable woman - is on sale from September 17.

The Best of Boutique Fitness
If you're looking to get in shape for spring, look no further: We've rounded up and tested out the best boutique workouts around. These are the classes you need to try right now.
By Ashley Ross and Alyssa Vingan
Refine Method
What is Refine Method? Metabolic resistance training — a traditional form of resistance work using enough resistance and smart pacing to get your heart and lungs working while also strengthening your muscles.
What does it do? Using a pully system, glides, kettlebells, and body weight, the system trains the entire body with different circuits, working in patterns so that muscles won't get over-developed.
How does it feel? Refine has the passion of a boot camp with a touch of lightness so that near the end of each circuit — when you're just about to give up — you find yourself switching.
How can you get the workout at home? Start with a stationary lunge for 30 to 40 seconds per leg, alternating with 30 seconds worth of pushups. If you find you can only get through one or two pushups, hold your plank. Start with one set, working your way up to three.
Classes start at $32. For more information and studio locations, visit www.refinemethod.com.

Archive for April, 2012
Over the past few weeks, I've sat through several intern interviews and had the pleasure of listening in on an interview where the above comment was made. Working in PR for a few years now, first in Asia and now in the US, I know the interview process can be an extremely nerve-wracking experience where you accidentally say the wrong things or the person interviewing you isn't exactly pleasant to talk to. As interviewers, we've all been in that position and usually overlook the occasional stutter or nervous hand twitch of a pleasant potential candidate. Yet, talking negatively about your previous positions or supervisors is definitely the quickest way to close the door on any job interview.
Bashing your last company at a job interview not only demonstrates your inability to stay positive and adapt in less-than-ideal situations, it ultimately shows a lack of self-reflection and unprofessionalism. While we've all had our share of unpleasant work experiences and may sympathize with you during the story of how your horrible supervisor made you quit your last job, nobody wants to hire Negative Nancy who openly criticizes her previous employers just because it did not work out.
In a fast-paced industry like PR, we are constantly under intense pressure and tight deadlines. Working as an intern at a PR agency can often feel extremely stressful when your supervisors are too busy to go into detail about a specific task and you have no idea what is going on. Like everything else in life, you're bound to find things about your work environment and the agency hierarchy that you don't particularly like. Yet, unless you plan on being unemployed, it pays to maintain the highest level of professionalism by doing the best you can and leaving your negativity behind.
Just chillPosted by: | Comments
For the past 20 years, April has been designated as Stress Awareness Month, with April 16th's tax day not surprisingly known as National Stress Awareness Day. Since stress is
something we experience every day, most people are unaware of the possible health problems associated with prolonged stress.
As interns or entry-level AEs in a fast-paced industry like PR, it is important to know when you need to step away from what you're doing and take a breath. While studies have shown that a little stress can boost your adrenaline and improve performance during a long day at work, too much of it and over a long period of time can actually become counterproductive and work against you.
Excessive stress can also lower your immune system, disrupting your body's natural balance and leaving you more susceptible to a range of health problems that include heart disease, dementia, and obesity. This, in turn, creates a vicious cycle where you are increasingly unable to focus and perform at work, which causes more stress and inevitably leads to burnout. Therefore, as an aspiring PR professional looking for a long and fulfilling career in a fast-moving industry, it's important to find ways to relax even when you are neck deep in deadlines.
Take a walk: When you feel increasingly unable to focus and find yourself making careless mistakes left and right, step away from your computer. Stop thinking about work for a moment and focus instead on that fabulous dinner you have planned with friends this weekend. Taking short breaks when needed and clearing your mind have been proven to boost productivity and enhance the quality of your work.
Stretch it out: After finishing a grueling two-hour conference call with a demanding client, take a few minutes to stand up and stretch out your body before starting on your follow-up emails. Stretching, like any form of exercise, releases endorphins that help reduce tension in your body and improve your mood, promoting stress relief.
What happens at work stays at work: After a long day at work, it's understandable to want to vent to your friends or family about how annoying your clients are. Yet, repeatedly recounting your stressful day might actually cause more stress as you relive those negative events again and again. Learning how to effectively reduce and manage your negative emotions at work will allow you to enjoy time with friends and family when you're at home.
To find out more about how you can relax and the health benefits associated with relaxation, check out Sarah Klein's article in The Huffington Post.

The Intern SpotlightPosted by: | Comments
In today's blog post, meet Allie Meyer, future PR star and current Peppercom intern.
1) Let's get the low-down. Where did you go to school, where are you from and how did you end up in PR?
I am from Locust Valley, a small town on Long Island. In 2007, I left the small town to go to a semi-small school, Marist College. While at "Harvard on the Hudson", I majored in Communications with a concentration in Public Relations and a minor in Psychology. I graduated on May 21st 2011, ironically the day the world was said to end.
To be honest, I really don't have an exciting or inspiring story about how I ended up in PR. When I was younger, my friend's older sister was in public relations and seemed to work on very exciting projects. It was because of this that I left high school unsure of whether I should study public relations or law (pretty much the same thing, right?). During my time at Marist, I learned what PR truly is and was interested the wide array of work you can do and the useful skills it teaches. My classes, projects and internships allowed me to see how much I enjoy planning events and finding strategic ways to handle different situations. To date, I have had more than six internships in many aspects of the communications/business field involving agency work, non-profits, social media and development.
2) What area of the industry do you find the most appealing?
Consumer, Travel and Business to Business are the areas of public relations I find most appealing. There are many different and creative ways to handle each client and product, and I enjoy the team driven atmosphere.
3) What's your biggest revelation about the industry so far?
My biggest revelation about the industry so far is the amount of work that goes into every project. I have heard before that two years in public relations is equivalent to five or six years in other industries and I would have to agree. PR is extremely fast-paced and requires a lot of hard work, which is what makes the industry so exciting.
4) Tell us about your proudest moment in the internship program so far.
My proudest moment so far was when I secured an ongoing blogging opportunity for a client. I personally think it was all luck but the recognition felt great.
5) Any favorite/inspiring case studies and why?
I would have to say I agree with fellow intern, Alex. My favorite case study so far has been Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turn 25. A huge fan of TMNT myself, I thought the concept of an experimental campaign was bold and clever, especially considering the pervasiveness of social media in our society today.

After a fire kills her parents, eleven-year-old Martine must leave England to live with her grandmother on a wildlife game reserve in South Africa, where she befriends a mythical white giraffe.
Findaway World Llc
Martine's parents are killed in a fire, and she must leave her home in England to live on a wildlife reserve in Africa with a grandmother she never even knew she had. As soon as Martine arrives at the reserve, she hears whisperings of a mythical animal living there-a white giraffe. No one has ever seen the animal, but it leaves footprints behind. Her grandmother insists that the white giraffe is just a legend, but then, one stormy night, Martine looks out her bedroom window straight into the eyes of the tall and silvery animal. The white giraffe is real! But why is everyone keeping the giraffe's existence a secret? To find out, Martine will use all of her courage and smarts, and an emerging gift for healing, in a daring adventure to save her new friend.

I fail to see why the security guards should take the blame for not acting - what about the groups of people around her? They could have prevented the attack from going any further. And the boy in the green vest rushing to take the victim's bag as she as being hit, that says a lot about the society that clearly has no morals. Shame on everyone.

AP Sports Writer
NEW YORK (AP) -- David Wright is getting close to coming off the disabled list. The punchless New York Mets sure could use him, if only to make their lineup a little more competitive the rest of the way.
Henderson Alvarez pitched seven innings of four-hit ball and the Mets were shut out for the third time in six days, losing 3-0 to the Miami Marlins in the opener of a doubleheader Saturday.
"We've got to make some adjustments," manager Terry Collins said. "You look at some of the hits that they get on the other side, and they hit the ball the other way. We're not doing it. I know there's some guys that got here because they're power hitters or something, but we've still got to use the field better to hit."
Sidelined since Aug. 3 with a strained right hamstring, Wright went through an extensive workout earlier in the day that included simulated at-bats on the field against bullpen coach Ricky Bones.
Collins said Wright might be ready to return during next week's home series against San Francisco, but the New York captain didn't sound as confident.
"As of right now, I think that that's optimistic," Wright said. "I think there's still some more that I need to accomplish before I play in a game."
Wright remains determined to get back in the lineup before the season ends. As far as the Mets are concerned, he can't heal fast enough.
New York has scored nine runs and batted .163 while opening 1-5 on an 11-game homestand, its second-to-last of the season. Fielding a depleted lineup filled with youngsters and call-ups, the Mets fell to 9 for 47 (.191) with runners in scoring position over the last nine games.
Donovan Solano got some payback for the Marlins after he was hit by two pitches from Carlos Torres (3-5). Solano launched a home run and made two terrific defensive plays at second base.
"I walked down there and said, 'My bad, man. I didn't mean to hit you.' I don't know how I hit him twice," Torres said.
Logan Morrison drove in two runs, one on a line drive off Frank Francisco's right hand that knocked the oft-injured reliever out of the game. Alvarez (4-4) earned his second win against the Mets this year, handing New York its 11th loss in 14 home games.
New York dropped to 3-10 in September and 6-11 this season against the Marlins, who have the NL's worst record at 55-92. The defeat ensured the Mets' fifth straight losing season since Citi Field opened.
Alvarez, who beat New York 3-2 on July 31, struck out five and walked none to help the Marlins win for the 12th time in 40 games.
"He looked great," Miami manager Mike Redmond said.
Chad Qualls worked a perfect eighth and Steve Cishek struck out three for his 30th save in 32 attempts. He has converted 25 in a row.
Jacob Turner started the nightcap for Miami against winless Daisuke Matsuzaka.
The traditional doubleheader was scheduled to make up a June 7 rainout. With both teams fading at the bottom of the NL East, it promised to be a long day for both players and the hearty fans who showed up on a pleasant late afternoon.
Christian Yelich doubled and stole third in the eighth before Morrison hit a line drive that struck Francisco near his right thumb. Yelich scored as Morrison was tagged out by first baseman Lucas Duda.
Francisco immediately left the game in obvious pain and was sent for X-rays. The team said he had a bruised hand. The right-hander had been out all season following elbow surgery until he was activated last weekend.
"It swelled up even when I was out there," Collins said. "It swelled up pretty fast and pretty big."
Torres struck out a career-high eight in six innings and gave up only three hits. Still, he lost his third consecutive start.
NOTES: Mets reliever Jeurys Familia was activated from the disabled list. The rookie right-hander, out since May 9, had surgery June 5 to remove bone spurs from his elbow. During his rehab assignment, Familia pitched three hitless innings with five strikeouts in the South Atlantic League championship series to help Class-A Savannah take home the title.

Not only is it easy to make, homemade dressing tastes better than bottled. Using superb olive or nut oil and fine vinegar or fresh-squeezed lemon juice will make your salads sing. And these wonderful ingredients hardly ever show up in ready-made preparations. Homemade dressings are also free of preservatives.
Classically speaking, vinaigrette should contain vinegar, but many versions use the term loosely to include lemon juice or other acids. Proportions of oil to vinegar vary according to the foods to be dressed. Delicate lettuces are best with a mellow mixture of fine olive oil and a hint of vinegar, following the traditional French formula of three parts oil to one part vinegar. Bland foods such as pasta and rice also taste good with such oil-rich dressings. So does bread.

I had bought a great microphone (a Samson usb c03u) to record the podcast of my novel. Once that was done, I wondered what else I could do with the mic. I embarked on an interview podcast. While I was promoting Grey, my publisher (NightShade Books) sent me on a 20 city radio tour and I got to see interviews from the other side. Some of the shows and the hosts were terrific. Some weren't. And frankly, sometimes, I was a good guest and sometimes I wasn't.
So, I started my own. I'd heard the phrase if you're just joining us often and used it as my title. I called several friends and was on my way.
However recording both sides of a long-distance conversation proved the biggest hurdle. In the beginning I struggled with a RadioShack phone mic, Skype, Gizmo and all sorts of editing, praying, and profanity.
Over time I've learned some tricks to getting good sound. Gradually, I added more music to give it more of a This American Life feel, but for 2010, I think I might be heading in a new direction.
Again, the show is called If You're Just Joining Us. Click to subscribe in iTunes. And please, write some reviews people!

Machine Politics
For three straight General Assembly sessions, Gov. Robert Ehrlich, aptly dubbed Bobby Slots by my esteemed colleague Dan Rodricks at The Sun, has done nothing but try to ram through slot machines as a way to balance the state budget. And for three-quarters of his tenure, he has somehow eked by without getting a slots bill through, yet the budget gets balanced. Funny that, huh?
This reminds us of how Ronald Reagan always wanted to pass a balanced-budget act through Congress, yet he never submitted a balanced budget. You could say the Ehrlich version works in reverse. Marylands constitution requires a balanced budget, so by law, the governor has to balance the thing come hell or high water, and the high water part really isnt an option before hurricane season. So he pokes through a tax here and calls it a fee, and a tax there and calls it a revenue enhancement, and spends a lot of time cutting TV ads with his kids where he does his best to make the average Joe think hes a great guy. In the meantime, all the big, mean bad guys who work for him slice bits and pieces out of the parts of state government that actually help people, while he tries to bring in the dough that will pay off all those gambling interests who bankrolled him in the first place.
So what have we got so far that he can take credit for this season? Well, as of this columns deadline (Monday morning), the legislature passed a total of three of the governors policy initiatives. This out of a total of 19 to start with, according to The Washington Post. The rest of the time, he has done little but yak it up with right-wing talk radio hosts, trying to bypass the filter, as the Washington term goes, to get through to constituents who might put some pressure on lawmakers to give him more support.
Except heres the problem: Maryland, despite Ehrlichs win in 2002 against a weak opponent who ran a lousy campaign, is still a 2-1 Democratic state. No matter how many times he yuks it up with the guys on WBAL, its not going to change a single mind in those swing counties that yawned when they went to the polls three years agothe governors got to deliver. Playing to people who listen to BAL (a station that aims at white Republican males in Baltimore Countytake it from a former employee) doesnt help him a bit.
The session opened with Ehrlichs push for medical malpractice reformbut when the lawmakers passed something that wasnt 100 percent what he wanted, consensus be damned, he vetoed it, only to see his nyet overridden. Most of Ehrlichs concerns about the bill were over a 2 percent tax on HMO premiums to help doctors pay malpractice costs, even though HMOs were granted a generous tax exemption 30 years ago, which means that people covered other forms of insurance, in effect, already give HMO customers a subsidy. The states largest insurer, CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield, then reaped a windfall of goodwill and cut a hole in the governors case by deciding to eat the cost of the 2 percent tax. So once again, Ehrlich came up with bupkis.
It really is stunning to watch the way the game of state politics is played by the Ehrlich administration. In any normal sense, laws are made by consensusthere is give-and take. But Ehrlichthanks to the my way or the highway politics the former congressman learned under Newt Gingrichhas made no effort to talk to lawmakers, to offer up any compromise, or to see eye-to-eye with anyone else. Time after time, stories emerge of how the governors aides craft proposals in secret, only to spring them on Democratic legislators, who hold an overwhelming advantage. The governors people seem to think they can reshape the playing field by sheer force of will alone. Ehrlichs legislative policy director, Joseph Getty, was quoted in The Washington Post saying, Could we have done more outreach or better outreach? Im sure we could have. . . . But I think the reason there are complaints is not because were doing our job poorly. Its because were doing it differently.
After three years in the governors mansion, you would think that Ehrlich would see the need to mellow his hard-nosed approach to governance, because at this rate, hes not going to have a whole lot to brag about come next summer when campaign season ramps up. Hell have to run on the slogan I Didnt Raise Your Taxes a Whole Lot. Like his approach to lawmaking, youd think he could have done a whole lot better.

Dahlgren research extends beyond Navy
The Dahlgren Navy base has long been recognized as a premier venue for military research and development.
But the impact of that work, by people such as Chris Hodge, a chemist with the Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division, reaches far beyond the Navy.
Hodge and scores of his colleagues over the years have collectively received more than 200 patents for their work—patents that have potential applications in commerce and industry. And 50 to 75 more are in the pipeline.
Last month, for example, four NSWCDD employees and a civilian university professor were honored for their work on HiPer–D, a high-performance computing project that was granted patents. The technology was never fielded at the King George County base, though it lives on in the private sector through patents licensed to Kismet Mgmt. LLC.
The Navy received $500,000 in licensing fees, while the inventors will get, collectively, $130,400. NSWCDD is the largest tenant command of the Naval Support Facility Dahlgren.
Hodge, 41, who lives in King George, has been working in chemical, biological and radiological decontamination since he began working at the base in 2002. He now heads up the group that works to protect sailors and ships from contamination in an attack.
"We do everything from basic, applied research to understanding fundamental chemistry of chemical agents, and understanding exterior structures of [anthrax] spores. And ways we can more easily decontaminate or neutralize those in the field."
Decontaminating or neutralizing chemical, biological and radioactive materials on ships is important to the Navy in an age when each can be used as a weapon.
The same technology would be useful for civilian police, firefighters and medical workers in the aftermath of an attack.
Work on the decontaminants began at Dahlgren in 1999.
Initially, "They were looking at soaps and evaluating what would be effective for dissolving chemical agents and to add to that, neutralizing those chemicals," Hodge said. The researchers found that the soaps were also effective in removing radioactive contamination and killing bacteria.
"I came in as the program was just getting off the ground," Hodge said. Over the next couple of years, he experimented with new mixtures, catalysts and oxidants in the lab.
"I just managed, time after time to find just the right mixture, and time after time, the wrong mixture," he laughed. "What we wound up with, by about 2005, is what you'll see in the [three] patents that we were able to secure."
The group would work to a point, then apply for a patent.
"Then we'd continue to improve the formulation to add new issues and threats" to be addressed, Hodge said. For example, they would develop a mixture that would be effective in a temperature range from minus 20 degrees to 160 degrees.
The work on the program, now known as Dahlgren Decon, is ongoing.
The group developed a prototype that proved effective in the laboratory; some items were sent to war zones on an interim basis, to counter certain threats.
Next, the program looked to evaluate a group of technologies to address the decontamination process used on ships. Decontaminants developed at Dahlgren were reviewed by a panel of experts three years ago and were selected as a centerpiece in a review of about 100 available technologies, Hodge said.
"It's relatively easy to use, works fast and mixes easily," he said. It's made from solid concentrate that is safe to store and handle, environmentally friendly and easily reconstituted with water in the field—important considerations on a ship where storage space is limited.
The formula dissolves and neutralizes chemical and biological agents.
Hodge's group also developed portable air-filtration systems that have applications for use in sites such as hospitals and mobile command centers during disasters.
"We developed a system that was very effective," Hodge said.
Dahlgren engineers helped with the design, construction and testing of filtration systems on two New York City fireboats. The city was looking for added protection for first responders in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
Hodge says the patented technology has multiple benefits.
"The command here does a great job of encouraging, and it's seen here as a prestigious thing to do. When you get a patent, there's an opportunity for that to be licensed and for it to be shared not only with industry, but back into the government inventory."
He notes that those patents ensure the Navy is not paying multiple times to develop certain technologies.
Dahlgren's invention expertise runs from the relatively low-tech—such as an adaptable remote-control driving system—to quantum optics, the study of individual protons, elementary particles of light, said John Joyce, a spokesman for NSWCDD.
Many of the division's patents spring from Navy gun-related technologies, while other groundbreaking work is related to its materials group work with nanotubes—tiny carbon cylinders—and thin films, along with sensors, Joyce said.
Alan Evans, a retired NSWCDD electrical engineer, was among those whose patented work led to the development of the Global Positioning System. Evans was recently named a 2013 Fellow by the Institute of Navigation.
Capt. Michael Smith, NSWCDD's commander, said, "There's a rigorous process to make decisions on what to pursue patents on, and we do it to protect the intellectual property of the Navy."
Last May, the center held an awards ceremony for all patent holders' and inventors' work from 2011.
"That's the first time we've done that," Smith said. It will probably become an annual event, he says, because it shows the technical expertise on base and helps attract top talent.
"Some of the things we develop have commercial applicability," he said, while at the same time, more commercial technology—computer software and hardware, for example—is being integrated into Navy weapons systems.
He added, "Applications for war fighting will be unique for the military, but will be able to be integrated into commercial products I see that continuing into the future."
Rusty Dennen: 540/374-5431
Prior to coming to Dahlgren, Chris Hodge worked for four years as a chemist with Milliken and Co. Originally from Bolivar, Tenn., he received his bachelor's degree in chemistry from Tennessee Technological University in 1995 and a master's degree in bio-organic chemistry from the University of South Carolina in 1999.
He lives in King George with his wife, Lee Heather, and four children.
A patent is a property right granted by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. It allows an inventor to exclude others from making, using, offering for sale or selling or importing the invention in the U.S. for a limited time, in exchange for public disclosure of the invention when a patent is granted.
A process, machine, article of manufacture, composition of matter or improvement of any of the above can be patented. Ornamental design of an article of manufacture and asexually reproduced plant varieties can be patented, as well.
The Naval Support Facility Dahlgren employs more than 7,600 workers. That includes 4,729 federal civilian employees and another 381 military personnel stationed at the base along the Potomac River in King George County. Another 2,500 defense contractor employees also work on the installation.
Last year, the base pumped an estimated $1.1 billion into the economy through payroll and defense contracts.
The combined payroll during the last fiscal year for federal civilian workers and military employees alone was more than $511 million. Another $594 million in defense contracts went to companies in Virginia's Planning District 16, which includes Fredericksburg and the counties of Stafford, Spotsylvania, King George and Caroline.
Naval Support Facility Dahlgren now has eight tenant commands. Those include: the Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (the largest); the Navy Air and Missile Defense Command; Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense Field Activity; Center for Surface Combat Systems; Aegis Training and Readiness Center; Joint Warfare Analysis Center; Air Force 20th Space Control Squadron, Detachment 1; and the Air Force 614th Air and Space Operations Center, Detachment 1.

Healthy Monday Tip #3: Food Not Bombs
Healthy Monday is a public health initiative founded in 2005 in association with Johns Hopkins University, Columbia University, and Syracuse University. HM's goal is to end chronic preventable disease in the U.S. by offering people and organizations a weekly prompt to start and sustain healthy behaviors, intentions, actions and initiatives. For most Americans, the week begins on Monday. Studies suggest we are more likely to maintain behaviors begun on Monday throughout the week. That makes Monday the perfect day to make a change for your health and the health of our planet.
This past weekend I went down to Washington, D.C. for the "Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear". It was really a blast. I got to see my good friend Coco (wish we'd had more time to hang out though) and Bobby and I toured the city on foot for most of Sunday. Why did I go? I am not a liberal, but I am fed up with our government. I also have a
secret crush on Stephen Colbert. While I was there, I saw tons of great signs, including…
Food Not Bombs. Their motto:
Food Not Bombs shares free vegan and vegetarian meals with the hungry in over 1,000 cities around the world to protest war, poverty and the destruction of the environment. With over a billion people going hungry each day how can we spend another dollar on war?
I actually bought a book from the guy (C.T. Lawrence Butler) – who is a founder of Food Not Bombs (not the Food Not Bombs book, but a different one on consensus). Coco and I also got buttons.
Since today is Meatless Monday anyway, here are my Healthy Monday tips:
- Try eating less meat (it's more sustainable). Not no meat, just less!
- Volunteer at a local homeless shelter or food bank. I need to do this one myself – I have not been actively volunteering since college
- Check out Food Not Bombs – they probably have a local chapter in your area. If not, maybe you can start one.
For more of my tips, check out the Healthy Monday series.
What are your healthy monday tips for today?
11 Comments on Healthy Monday Tip #3: Food Not Bombs
how fun! I bet the rally was a BLAST!
I have recently begun eating less meat–for example, instead of chicken in quesadillas, I've just been adding black beans.
I love D.C. – I lived in Virginia many many years ago and loved hanging out in Georgetown!
Love your idea to volunteer – I haven't done that since I moved to my new town – and that was 9 years ago!
Oh man… I wanted to go but the lines at my metro station were unbelievable!
Thanks for sharing about this organization. It sounds really cool, and I, too, have been looking for some ways to start volunteering regularly as well.
Food not Bombs – excellent. I've never heard of the group before but sounds like they're doing good work!
I'd never heard of that orgnization! Such a lovely concept
I love how you put volunteering! I cant wait until I have some free time again so i can volunteer
My Monday health thing is to take a bath in Epsom salts. After two days of tough yoga practices my muscles welcome this release! <3 Monday baths.
It's been so long since I volunteered, too, and it has been perpetually on my list for what seems like forever. I'm going to check out this group. Thanks for the info.
My healthy Monday tip is to start the day with a quick walk. I find that it puts me in a good mood to start the work week.
Volunteering is something I used to do alot of, but I'm just too busy with the kids now. Once they're older I plan on getting back on track with that….

imaginary costume party
Art print, available here.
So it seems I am invited to a Halloween party, which, damn it, means finding a costume. I'm thinking of wearing this gingham dress and going as Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz. Although I still don't have any ruby slippers!
Meanwhile, I'm entertaining myself by planning an imaginary Day of the Dead themed party, and the outfit for it...
Silk satin and silk organza sugar skull dress, available here.
Calavera mary janes or a Til Death do us Part ring, anyone?
I think this elegantly ghoulish carry-bag should keep my vanity in check for the evening. Available here.
And you better believe I would decorate with these guys!

Halloween isn't my favorite, although the idea of dressing up is always fun... though equally daunting at times.
Hmm... you could still go as Dorothy, but perhaps before Oz? Dorothy in Kansas? ;)

You need my Juana skull necklace too -- that skull design was based on a Day of the Dead skull!

@ Emily: I love you for saying that! I've been thinking that all along, that my hiking boots will be fine for "Dorothy in Kansas." And saves me rushing to all the charity shops looking for red shoes. And a toy dog.

That dress will make for a perfect Dorothy :)
Last year I ended up going to a halloween party (wasn't yet big in Austria by the time I left and I have only had kids knock the door once in all the years I have been in England.. maybe we're such scary neighbours they don't dare?) Anyway, it was themed as well so I had to be a fairy tale character. Ugh. I went as The Little Mermaid - you know, the grim one that doesn't end well and involves lots of pain and walking on swords. Despite all the blood everybody thought I was the disney version and nobody else kept to the theme either. Typical ;)

first off, ICC bosses hit less hard than they would of if they hadn't put in chill of the throne, they still will hit harder than ToC, though normal modes are pretty straightforward at the moment and don't really hurt that much.
Secondly, gemming will probably depend on fights. I actually plan on having 2 sets of gear, 1 for EHP and one for Avoidance. (someone wanna chip in to buy me 4 24 slot bags? lol). For the most part right now, keep gemming stam, the further bosses in may be more challenging, but for the time being it doesn't matter much. Once heroics come out, some fights like saurfang and gunship may require tanks to have a raw avoidance set because of fight mechanics.
Gem based on the fight is basically what I'm saying, and have different pieces of gear that you can throw on for different scenarios.

"What is the Big Secret about Coerver that got my team to #1 in the league?"
Please read on to find our exactly how I discovered the "secrets" to using Coerver that you won't fine anywhere else.
From the desk of: TheSoccerHelper
Let's get something straight before we start.
"Having the best soccer drills in the world does not guarantee success"
But first, let's start with how I got here, and why I'm writing this...
It must have been about two years ago now, I was training my team and a fellow soccer coach handed me a video of soccer drills. Billy was very excited about this video and as I respected him as a coach I watched all of it.
Now, Billy is actually someone whose opinion I trust, which is the only reason I watched the video in the first place.
"But why isn't having hundreds of soccer drills going to help?..."
Well, let me explain. I am a qualified soccer coach and I have spent the last 8 years coaching kids soccer from 5 and 6 year olds through to adults, and I spend a lot of time trying to raise the skill levels of my players. I have researched thoroughly trying to find some techniques and drills that would give me a complete suite of exercises to ensure that I got my team to the very best that it could be.
But, I have never been a big fan of soccer drills that have no game like characteristic .
You can buy soccer reference books and soccer coaching manuals, but often
Then, the same coaches who bought the coaching manual realize that a big list of soccer drills doesn't mean anything on its own
Only after wasting their cash and time that they see that their team hasn't improved as they thought is should, ... and then, the next soccer coaching manual comes out and the cycle repeats itself...
"What about fitness, don't players get fit enough just from training?..."
One of my favorite stories about soccer is when I was playing
for Waverley City (now known as Eastern Lions, see their website at http://www.easternlions.com.au).
We had a team of reasonable skill level, but were no match for nearly every
other team in the league on a technical level. Because of our inferior skill
level, our coach did just one thing that ensured that we performed to our
optimum. Because of this one thing, we were runners up in a league where we were
probably the least skilled team in that league.
Getting Fit For Soccer is the final piece in the jigsaw of the Winning formula to get the most out of your team
So, you can imagine my thoughts when I got my friend's video recommending Coerver Coaching System. As I say, it was only because he was normally spot-on that I even bothered.
When I reached the Coerver website, I was actually pretty impressed with the content and even more impressed with some of the big names in soccer that recommend this product...
But, again, I have to be honest with you...,
At this point, I still thought to myself, "nice product, lots of soccer drills, this should help, ... but yet again, it just isn't going to be too practical for building a soccer team, it seems to concentrate too much on the individual... so forget it".
And that was that; I left the site... but a few days later my friend phoned me, letting me know he had seen the Coerver Coaching System being used by one of the most successful junior teams in our region and that there was a training session that we should go to. He also said that I needed to drop what I was doing and get the training session and see how it is used in a practical sense. So, off I went to see how the Coerver Coaching System was used in a real session.
Just so you know, after seeing the training session, I purchased because the Coerver Video tapes, they were not expensive and as the season had just finished I had plenty of time to review it.
So, I decided to give the system a good chance, and make full use of it... so I sat down and watch the video for an hour or two
But an hour
or two wasn't enough...
• Is the Coerver Coaching System really the best coaching system on the market?
• Can the Coerver Coaching System actually work for coaches of teams of any age ?
• ...And does it actually make any a good soccer team?...
Keep reading to find out how I used The Coerver Coaching Method
The problem is the Coerver Coaching System gives players all the skills that they need to play great soccer, but it is missing some key ingredients to get the most out of a team .
It wont work unless you incorporate
Keep Reading and you will find out...
• How you can get ahead of every other coach using the Coerver Coaching Method...
• Learn how to use Coerver in all of your sessions...
• ...And get your team to a higher level in a short time...
The Coerver System will definitely produce highly skilled players, but there is more to the game than being technically brilliant. As a coach it is fundamental that you can educate your players to understand aspects of the game that are
Not taught in the Coerver Coaching System
Players need to work effectively as a team to produce
goals and to restrict the opposition
I am not talking about using specific soccer formations like 4-4-2 or a 4-4-2 or the Brazilian box, but the aspects that help promote team work and correct decision making that govern the game.
The aspects that I cover in the eBook are not hard to understand, but most coaching material ignores them and concentrates on technical skill and combination play. Skill and team play is vital, but they do not give the players the knowledge to make good decisions when playing, nor do they help players adapt to different opposition tactics.

It's not all work and no play for Jennifer Garner during her trip to New York City to promote her new movie, 'Butter.' Jennifer took some time out to hit the shops. Good for her! Hopefully she bought herself something, not just presents for her little ones back home.
What do you think of Jennifer's polka dot dress? I'm a fan of this simple sheath dress. It's perfect for just throwing on and going out. With the polka dots, you don't even need much in the way of accessories. Jennifer looks great.

2012 Met Gala: Christina Ricci is all wrapped up in Thakoon
The Costume Institute's Met Gala just wouldn't be the same without a few talking points. Christina Ricci was certainly one of those talking points all right. The actress brought the drama with her onto the red carpet at last night's event thanks to a sweeping gown designed by Thakoon.
The show-stopping number had photographers in a frenzy thanks to the giant pinky cream satin bow tied to the back of the dress with ends that fell to the floor. This was in addition to the detailed black lattice-style bodice and skirt which featured a slit to show off a smidge of midriff. Next you may turn you attention to the asymmetrical neckline which was ruffled in a sculptured way across her chest and joined up with the bow at the back.
Interesting, very interesting.
As for the rest of her outfit, the 32-year-old opted for a pair of simple black pumps and bling-tastic jewellery by Tiffany & Co. With her hair parted to one side, such a dress calls for a classic, sleek pulled back 'do which is just what Christina went for. Attagirl!
Your thoughts on Christina's wrapped up Met Gala look? Do you like it or loathe it?
- Check out what the rest of the starlets wore to this year's Met Gala here
