Too Much Manscaping? Musto, O'Neil Discuss Unbroken
Freelance film critic Michael Musto was not invited to the preview screenings of Unbroken. Instead, he attended a New York showing of the Angelina Jolie adaptation of Lauren Hillenbrand's bestseller as Gold Derby head honcho Tom O'Neil's +1.
The pair subsequently got together for one of their always-entertaining awards season podcasts, allowing Musto to bring up a somewhat jarring film element:
"The [photo] stills of the guys in the POW camp look really hot. It's like an Abercrombie & Fitch commercial," said Musto. "There obviously was a salon on the premises, because their hair looks fabulous."

Keith Olbermann: The Bush administration on the hunt for anyone who might have leaked word of the NSA domestic spying program to the media. Amid further word tonight that there may even be more secret spying going on than thought previously. Absent any hint of irony, the administration launching several investigations to nab any federal official who may have blown the whistle on its warrant-free surveillance programs, as well as its secret CIA prisons.
President Bush, you will recall, calling the NSA leak a, quote, "shameful act" that was, quote, "helping the enemy." Never mind the members of his own senior staff who saw fit to leak the name of a covert CIA operative, mainly because her husband had said something critical about he White House. The Washington Post reported that dozens of employees at the CIA, NSA and other intelligence agencies have been interviewed by the FBI already. At the same time, the Justice Department warning reporters that they could be prosecuted under espionage laws….

Updated: September 24, 2012 6:25AM
WASHINGTON — If you're looking for positives, at least the Blackhawks' three-game losing streak didn't come against teams they're competing with in the Western Conference.
And at least they were able to find a way to get a point in their 4-3 overtime loss against the Washington Capitals on Sunday at the Verizon Center.
"We'll take the point, but we certainly weren't very good," coach Joel Quenneville said. "[The Capitals] played well. They played hard. But I thought we had a little delay in our game. We were very generous in all the goals we gave them. We could have done a better job of defending those situations."
After Mike Knuble scored the game-winner in overtime for the Capitals, Quenneville was asked what the main difference has been between the Hawks' three-game skid and their confidence-building eight-game winning streak.
He couldn't put a finger on it, saying "each game was different." There was the awful start against the Florida Panthers, some hard-to-contain star performances against the Tampa Bay Lightning and in Washington ...
"We were overall carrying the play," Capitals coach Bruce Boudreau said. "We played better than them. It might not happen the next time we play them, and they might not be tired from being on the road for eight or nine [days], but I thought [Sunday] that we were the better team."
It doesn't get any easier for the Hawks. Antti Niemi and the San Jose Sharks, who are 7-1-2 in their last 10 games, have been in Chicago waiting for the game tonight.
There is consolation in the point — every one is crucial in the tight Western Conference — but the Hawks needed help to get it.
Down 3-2, Capitals forward Magnus Johansson was called for hooking with 1:50 left in regulation. Jonathan Toews then scored with Corey Crawford (38 saves) pulled for an extra attacker with 38.5 seconds left.
Still, in overtime the Hawks, who also goals from Nick Leddy and Tomas Kopecky, didn't get a shot on Braden Holtby (27 saves).
"We managed to get back in the game, but there is no reason to be satisfied with one point," Toews said. "That's two overtime losses in the last couple games. We can't be happy just getting one point out of each of those games.
"If you look at the games ahead, if we keep getting to overtime, it doesn't do us any good. It's just getting beyond that point of satisfaction and finding a way to win. It sucks we couldn't get two points."
Each team allowed goals they shouldn't have — such as Boyd Gordon's momentum killing short-handed score in the first after Patrick Sharp failed to keep it in the attacking zone — but the tempo for the most part belonged to the Capitals.
The Hawks had good chances and did a decent of job of holding Alex Ovechkin off the scoresheet. But the Capitals, who had 42 shots, 21 blocks and 31 hits, just had more in them and extended their winning streak to eight games.
It just seemed like the Capitals won more individual battles.
"I agree with that," Toews said. "We were just watching each other and no one was playing well enough away from the puck. You just can't be watching the puck, watching a guy, whether we have it or not. Everybody has got to be anticipating and reacting.
"I don't know if it was laziness or fatigue, but we weren't moving our feet enough away from puck and that's when you end up turning the puck over a lot all over the place when you're not helping each other. That was the one big thing that stood out."

New Android tablets may require dual-core processors and high-res screens
Motorola's Android 3.0 Honeycomb Xoom tablet made quite a commotion last month. It's expected to be one beefy tablet inside. A new report suggests that all future Honeycomb-powered tablets may require powerful dual-core processors and high resolution displays in order to run properly.
The report comes from Bobby Cha, managing director of Korean consumer electronics firm Enspert. Cha believes that Android Honeycomb will be reserved for high-end tablets, leaving old Android tablets like the Samsung Galaxy Tab, unable to be upgraded.
Cha is also going out on a limb and suggesting that a minimum 1280 x 720 screen resolution may be enforced in all Honeycomb-powered tablets. The higher resolution meshes with what we've been hearing about Motorola's Xoom and could very well be true.
If Cha's research and analysis turn out to be true, then we can all expect Hoenycomb tablets to at least give the iPad and its seemingly fast A4 processor a run for its money. Dual-core processors in mobile devices seem to be the next natural step. RIM's BlackBerry PlayBook has a dual-core processor and it beats the pants off the iPad in terms of speed.
We reiterate: bring on the tablets.

Macomb Community College - 2012 HESI - page 26
Well, another year means another time for more score updates. I am getting ready to take my HESI in a couple weeks to apply for the 2012 Nursing Program and I must say I am really beginning to get nervous! Thanks to their recent... Read More
- 0Apr 23, '12 by ajurzakQuote from rchlit all depends on the year. There may be people who dont put down the deposit and attend the meeting, so that opens spots. then if people drop out, thats more.Does anyone know how many alternates they usually go through? I'm #29 and still trying to remain hopeful.
- 0Apr 23, '12 by shelbyjoshQuote from rchlI am 37 so I feel your pain! If people fail to show up for the meeting or don't pay the deposit that works to our benefit. They will get my $100 in a heartbeat!Does anyone know how many alternates they usually go through? I'm #29 and still trying to remain hopeful.
- 0rnstudenthpfl, The letter I received said nothing about paying the $100 as an alternate. I can only assume if I was accepted, THEN I would have to pay. I'm hoping that after the 30th some spots will become available from those who didn't pay or choose to decline their spot. Thanks for the quick response and the positive comment!Last edit by KatieLynn88 on Apr 23, '12
- 0kc0320, MCC will not even look at taking alternates until after the selective admissions fee is due for the nursing program (anyone who didn't pay would obviously be considered to have denied their spot). That date isn't until April 30th, so waiting until Wednesday or Thursday would make no difference. I read on here that last year before the meeting, MCC had already accepted 10 of the alternates based on others not paying their $100). Hopefully this is true and you and I are still in the running!
- 0Apr 23, '12 by su85Oh boy my letter still hasn't come. I am still hopeful I got in. I wonder if I can call the school and see. I am mostly worried about getting them the deposit on time,if I got in. Because of the mail being forwarded it seems like its taking an extra couple days. i feel silly calling in case I didn't make it, but if I did I just want to pay the deposit.
- 1su85, You didn't get your letter yet? The letter I received as an alternate says the meeting is May 16, from 12:30-3:30 and to expect to be there for all 3 hours. The deposit is due the 30th of April...They should have no problem telling you if you made it in or not! I'd call and find out!
- 1Apr 23, '12 by su85Thank you KatieLynn88 , I am nervous to hear that way, but I really just want to pay that deposit if I made it...On the bright side I get to continue being hopefull lol
- 1Apr 23, '12 by soreadyforthissu85, I am positive you got in a friend of mine is an alternate and had a 3.8 and 82 and she is one of the top ten on the waiting list also, I got in with a 3.7 and 90. Just go to them and tell them you haven't gotten a letter yet and want to pay your fee. Our meeting is May 16 and is from 8-11:30 and they said we will be there the whole time.

Judge goes to bat for ID-less Lord Black
By Natasha Korecki Federal Courts email@example.com
He may be a Lord, but if he wants to get on a plane, even Conrad Black needs an ID.
The onetime media baron plans to attend Thursday's hearing in federal court about his criminal conviction but it seemed he was lacking identification.
According to court records, a federal judge issued an order on Tuesday to serve as his bona fides. Black's United Kingdom-issued passport, which is expired, is in the court's custody, the order says. "The present order will serve as government-issued identification that will enable Mr. Black to travel by commercial air carrier within the continental United States," wrote U.S. District Judge Amy St. Eve.
Black was serving a 6 1/2-year prison term before he was freed on bail last year because of a U.S. Supreme Court decision that put his conviction in question. He returned to his Palm Beach, Fla., home after he was released in July.
One of Black's lawyers, Miguel Estrada, said Wednesday that Black intends to be in court and wouldn't comment on whether he lacked photo identification.
"The order speaks for itself," he said.

Do you know people who live their lives to the best of their ability? People who ignore, or try to ignore, the images and trauma from days gone by that endlessly seem to haunt them? Going a step further, do these people you know try to move forward with their lives but either their decisions, or random 'coincidences' crop up that lead them down paths they'd rather not revisit? I know people like that. I know you do too. We all know people like that. I'm talking about damaged people striving to make it through each day, one hour at a time.
However, damaged does not mean uneducated, simple, stupid, or hare-brained. Damaged implies that somehow somewhere in that person's past an experience, or set of experiences, affected the person so vividly, so intimately, that the experiencer's spirit cracked in some way – if only a hairline fracture. A break is still a break and these types of emotional breaks lead to damage; people who have to fight their way through their inner crossroads and re-engage themselves with life, or specific parts of their lives.
A person we all know and love that could easily fit into this above definition is Halle Berry. This stunning Hollywood actress, now also a producer, witnessed her mother being abused at the hands of her husband (Halle's father). All little Halle and her sister Heidi could do was watch.
Imagine witnessing abuse that inflicted wounds, bruises, and the like on the person you adore the most. Now imagine being helpless to affect change in that situation. This was Halle's youthful plight.
We fast forward to Halle's own young adulthood and we see that unconsciously she replicated the circumstances she witnessed at home through her choices in relationships. In the early 90's, Halle was abused by one of her boyfriends. He struck her so hard she lost 80% of her hearing in her left ear. As Halle moved forward in her life, she adjusted her choices and became more proactive about protecting herself from abuse. She chose men who did not physically abuse her; they mentally abused her. As we all know, with damaged people it's like peeling back the layers of an onion; it takes time to heal. But healing is something Halle actively engaged in.
Halle said: "I never had to run to a shelter, but I did choose the wrong partners. Not always good men. Luckily, in recent years, I have been smart enough to hit the door when violence even becomes a possibility. That is something I will not tolerate." [See more at: http://bossip.com/193327/halle-berry-my-boyfriend-hit-me-so-hard-i-am-still-deaf-in-left-ear/#sthash.GSplU6Is.dpuf]
Through the years we've watched Halle battle her childhood demons through her relationships, through her movie roles, and more recently through her new TV show, Extant. A wonderful thing to note is her role as Cat Woman. To me, it is a significant role where the idea of rebirth into something and someone stronger and more confident was key to the development of the movie's main character. (I won't discuss the movie reviews, or the quality of the movie Cat Woman; that would be the subject of an entirely different article…)
Another important thing to note is that in Halle's spare time she volunteers at a nonprofit called Jenesse Center, an organization that provides a system of support of those experiencing domestic violence.
"Before I'm Halle Berry – I'm little Halle growing up in this environment, that damaged me in some ways, she says. And I've spent my adult life trying to heal from that. I think I've spent my adult life dealing with the sense of low self-esteem that implanted in me. Somehow, I felt not worthy." – [See more at: http://www.frequencynews.com/wordpress/gossip/gossip-fix/halle-berry-talks-domestic-abuse/]
Halle is the epitome of a damaged person working step-by-step to become successfully whole. Why do I care so much about Halle's plight other than we are both Leos? Because, I am a damaged person myself. I've had a childhood I'd rather not repeat and I too work day-by-day to create a live worth living. Instead of heading for the lights of Hollywood, I found my solace in the written word. I write stories about damaged people who, like Halle and I, strive to become whole once again.
In my new book, Fury From Hell, Detective Jennifer Holden is a damaged person who experienced domestic violence in her home via a family member who she murders in self-defense when she was a teenager. Det. Holden must now move through her life trying to atone for the double guilt she feels. By becoming an NYPD homicide detective, Holden thought she had found a way to outrun her demons. But they caught up with her…literally. Unwittingly, Holden is possessed by a demon named Fury Abatu who avenges the wrongful death of women but the price is steep – their souls.
I love the interplay between good vs. evil. It is the basic age-old plot that never runs dry. There are so many elements that intrigue me mainly because we have to make choices each and every day that pit our will against this same backdrop. We all have a white angel on one shoulder and the red devil on the other. Each of them whispers in our wee little ears and in each moment we must make a decision to act.
Halle always had the potential for greatness. Halle always strove to make better choices and she has. Today, she is the producer of Frankie & Alice a story about a go-go dancer with disassociative identity disorder who has 3 distinct personalities. This is the epitome of a damaged person and it is based on a true story.
The woman behind this story today is a successful college professor but we all know she still has her own demons to fight every day. Just like Halle and I do. Just like you, and our friends do. We're human. We have issues that we want to ignore. We listen to the red devil sometimes. We let evil win. But then, we get stronger and fight back. So does Det. Holden. But when you're fighting a 700-year-old demon from Hell things are not always as they seem. Bigger guns have to be pulled out.
Here's to wishing Halle many more fabulous wedding anniversaries and sincere well-wishes on the birth of her son, Maceo Robert Martinez.

Coach K. Dharmaraj (third from right) talking to the national hockey players early this year. He finally has his contract and salary sorted out.
KUALA LUMPUR: A potential crisis in the World Cup-bound national hockey team was averted, thanks to the quick action by the Malaysian Hockey Confederation (MHC).
K. Dharmaraj was on the verge of quitting as national coach on Thursday with the World Cup just two weeks away. The team will leave for The Hague, Holland, on May 23 for the May 31-June 15 Finals.
And it took the MHC just a matter of hours to resolve the issue which had been simmering for the last four months. It was all about Dharmaraj's salary and work contract.
Dharmaraj was previously under contract with the Project 2013 team and his salary was paid by the National Sports Council (NSC). But his deal ended on Dec 31 after the Junior World Cup where Malaysia finished fourth.
In January, Dharmaraj was promoted as national coach when South African Paul Revington quit the team. He was not given a contract and was only paid an allowance by the MHC.
On Wednesday, the NSC finally offered him a contract which did not adhere to what had been promised and, naturally, the Malacca-born coach blew his top and decided to quit the team.
He was about to hand over his resignation letter on Thursday morning when the MHC got wind of his impending move. The national body acted swiftly to solve the issue with MHC president Tengku Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah asking treasurer Datuk K. Radhakrishnan to step in to resolve the issue.
Radhakrishnan and MHC secretary-general Datuk Johari Abdul Aziz then met Dharmaraj at the National Hockey Stadium in Bukit Jalil and the matter was amicably settled within minutes.
When met after the meeting, Dharmaraj said he was sad that a simple contract matter had to be turned into a controversy and only settled when he decided to call it quits.
"I love the job and also my country. But enough is enough. I believe that I am entitled to some respect as a national coach and not to be taken for granted. If they are able to do this (solve the issue) within a few hours, then why did they let it drag on for so many months.
"I had brought this to their attention on many occasions, and yet nothing was done about it. Nobody bothered to talk to me or even to tell me that the matter would be looked into.
"I have been working without a salary all these months, just the allowance paid by the MHC. I believe that these issues should be handled professionally and local coaches should be treated fairly," said Dharmaraj.
Dharmaraj did not attend Thursday's morning training session with the players. But he turned up for the evening session.
"Now it is back to status quo as far as my position is concerned and I am satisfied with what the MHC have offered me now," he said.
Radhakrishnan was pleased the matter had been settled.
"It was a simple matter which just needed some input. But it is over now. All's back to normal," he said.

I just had a bum assault me
Last edited Sun Mar 3, 2013, 12:18 PM USA/ET - Edit history (1)
Wow, I was sitting minding my own business waiting for a bus, and this old bum comes up real close to me and starts acting aggressive and all in my face. Calling me chickenshit and pretending to kick and punch me but pulling back at the last moment. At first, I tried to just walk away from him but he followed me. Then I told him he needed help and he sarcastically asked me if I meant psychological help. Finally I had enough of his antics and being all in my face, so I told him I wasn't afraid of him and stood my ground. I'm a decent size guy and could have taken him in a fight, he was skinny and a lot lighter weight than me. He then backed off and went looking for other people to harass.
Unfortunately my cell phone battery was dead otherwise I would have called the cops on this idiot pronto.

True victory is victory over oneself.
~ Morihei Ueshiba O-Sensei ~
The fact that he said bum rather than homeless or some other innocuous title tells me it is likely true.The difference between pigs and people is that when they tell you you're cured it isn't a good thing.
They are "homeless people" when you are seeing them from the safety of your locked car. They are "bums" when they are up close and personal.
I find making eye contact and just being polite goes a long way dealing with people who are living on the street. They are not used to that.
Here they are just bums. We have corners at busy intersections where they
work in shifts passing off the same "Help" signs. They have been given the
Green light by our clueless Sarasota City Council and Police Chief...May the FORCE be with you!
He should have snatched the bum's Obamaphone from him and called 911.

ooc: @AlphaMouse; I posted just now :)
Mila walked around the courts looking for someone to talk to
OOC: @Phantom Detective; thanks :D
"He's not my brother you idiot, he's about fifty!" Sam hissed in Reece's ear.
Derek listened to the speech very carefully and tried very hard to not fall asleep.
Reece scowled at Sam, then giggled at Derek " you find this boring too?"
"Kinda,if I don't have anything to do,kinda start to zone out."he whispered to Reece.
"I'm the exact same.. Man how long does this thing go on??"
OOC: No longer! Time skip! By the way, guys, do we want uniform?
Ooc: awesome
I'd say one for each of the houses we signed for the second year
OOC: Oh wow! Sorry I've been so inactive just been extremely busy! We're at an assembly right?
OOC:Yeah,and we are listening to Baz Zeblinzki(I think),the head of the first years.
OOC: Close enough. Billy "Baz" Zeblenski has his nickname because he's boring as ... Assembly has just finished and the first lesson is Battling with Mr Harrowsfield. From now on uniforms are a blue/black suit with the tie with your house colour on it. The Eevees have black ties. Everyone has white shirts.
Sam walked into the classroom. It was like most others, with rows of wooden desks and an interactive whiteboard. He stood behind a chair, waiting until mr Harrowsfield had sat down until he did so.
"This suit is too tight" Reece complained, then proceeded to pull at it until the teacher gave him a look to say Stop it, right now! . He waited patiently behind his desk, eager to battle
Derek walked into the room and took a seat,looking around the room.
Mila by this stage had joined assembly, listened to the instructions and followed the others to the classroom

Deerness (Old Norse: Dyrnes[1][2]) is a quoad sacra parish (i.e. one created and functioning for ecclesiastical purposes only) and peninsula in Mainland, Orkney. It is about 13.5 kilometres (8.4 mi) south east of Kirkwall. Deerness forms a part of the civil parish of St. Andrews and Deerness.[3]
It consists chiefly of the peninsula, but also takes in its surrounding islets of Copinsay, the Horse of Copinsay and Corn Holm.[4] The Brough of Deerness is the site of an early Christian monastery near the north eastern tip of the peninsula. The Gloup is a sea-cave approximately 40 metres (44 yd) long and 25 metres (82 ft) deep just south of the Brough.[5]
Edwin Muir was born in Deerness in 1887.

Habitat detectives
Magnifiers in hand students transform into Habitat Detectives and their challenge is to find clues for various animals found within Victorian habitats.
Animals leave all sorts of clues to tell us they have been around. Join us to find these clues in a habitat and use this evidence to determine what animals need to survive. Our young detectives will have an opportunity to meet some animals up close and use their great ideas to determine how the animals grow and change and have features help them to survive in their habitat. This new way of looking at habitats is encouraged for the whole day excursion and knowledge that can be taken back at school.

Students demand thorough investigation of Figeľ's PhD
13 Aug 2012 Flash News
Members of the Student Council of Slovak Universities called on relevant bodies of the public administration to launch a thorough investigation into the way in which Christian Democratic Movement (KDH) chairman Ján Figeľ was awarded his PhD academic degree, and to take subsequent action against the university that granted it, the TASR newswire reported on August 11.
"Also, we call upon MP Figeľ to take a responsible approach to the issue, as situations of this kind significantly degrade the value of university diplomas in Slovakia," said Katarína Stoláriková, chair of the student council, as quoted by TASR.
Last week, the Sme daily reported that Figeľ was awarded his doctorate via preferential treatment since he had served as a European commissioner at that time. Although he studied a programme of social work, the thesis he submitted was a copy of his book written about Slovakia's integration into the European Union.
Moreover, Sme wrote that one member of the commission was Jozef Mikloško Jr., son of one of the founding members of KDH.

Kids going to daycare on parents day off
Find a Conversation
|Fri, 02-05-2010 - 1:33pm
So after making my first post on this board in the "just thinking after the recent BM discussion" thread and having Deb comment that she would be interested in hearing a parents' view on a subject, I thought I would post about something I see as a recurring theme on this board.
|Fri, 02-05-2010 - 2:21pm
>>For all of the above reasons, I am not at all ashamed to take Emily to daycare while I am not at work.
|Fri, 02-05-2010 - 2:43pm
As a daycare provider, my position has alwasy been; you are paying me to watch your child during set hours. As long as you pay me on time, and pick child up on time
|Fri, 02-05-2010 - 3:07pm
Hi KAren,
We always love the parents point of view- being a previous daycare parent I understand both sides. I am not one to care what the parents do on their days off. I am paid to watch their children and I do. I have several teachers that use President's day and other holidays to do some shopping, run errands, clean house while the kids are at my house. I get that.
What you don't understand is we are not just hanging around in pjs watching tv. We are caring for several children at once. I have 7 to 8 kids all day. My day starts at 6:40 and ends at 5:45. I get 1 maybe 2 hours "break" where I usually eat lunch, put my feet up, check email and message boards and do some light cleaning.
With 8 kids all day I have to clean my daycare area SEVERAL times a day. This area is my foyer, dining room, kitchen, family room, playroom and powder room. My kitchen gets sweeped and wiped down 3-4 times a day. I have to constatnly pick up toys, clean art projects, help put games and puzzles away. I can only dust the daycare areas because I am not allowed to go upstairs and leave the daycare kids unattended. I wipe down the daycare powder room 1 to 2 times a day- have several boys that pee everywhere- have to wipe that down each time. when potty training I have several potty chairs to
|Fri, 02-05-2010 - 3:40pm
It was nice to read your side of things. I do understand all that you said but I do happen to be one of the providers that is does bother when parents take an entire day off when they could be spending it with their children. I am sure there are several reasons for this opinion but my main reason is that you children are only little once! I don't understand why parents don't want to spend as much time as possible with their children. It seems to me that what you are explaining is different than what I have experienced with my daycare families. They

I had a friend and knew another guy. They had manly dads who turned me on. I fantasized about them when I masturbated and would have loved to jack off with the one who bit his nails to the bubs and joined the other dad spit-roasting his son with him.
One place we lived had a 22 year old, his dad and grandfather living across the street. The grandfather was the most masculine of the three, a bear, with the dad second and the 22 year old kind of fem with his long hair and nails and no facial hair. It turns out his grandfather was even more manly than I thought because I got the drift he was bisexual and fucking his grandson and getting sucked by him.

Lim, Cheng Hoe (1998) Evaluating The Effectiveness of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) Program in Texas Instruments Malaysia. Masters thesis, Universiti Putra Malaysia.
Today, the economic environment surrounding corporations becomes severe, and total elimination of waste is required for the survival of the corporation. Therefore, wastes generated due to the failure shutdown of facilities that have been built with huge investment and wastes such as defective products should be absolutely eliminated. Requirements for product quality become stringent, and not even one defective product would be allowed. Quality assured delivery of total quantity is now taken for granted. Thus in order for organization to remain competitive, reduce production cost, and meeting stringent product quality requirements, Total Productive Maintenance (rPM) was introduced and has been recognized as necessary for organization survival. The purpose of this research is to determine the effectiveness of the TPM program in TIM. Specifically, this study aimed: • To understand the TPM program. • To determine the effectiveness of TPM in achieving the organization operation productivity, operation cost and product quality. • To determine the constraints and issues during TPM fan-out plant wide in TIM. • To discuss the managerial implications of the results. • To provide information regarding the implementation of TPM program that may be useful to other research purposes regarding implementing TPM program. Based on this study, it can be concluded that, TIM has achieved the objectives through the implementation of TPM program. With better equipment performance and productivity, the cost of operation and costs per unit in TIM could be reduced. With the lower cost of operation, this will improved the ability for TIM to compete in the industry. The implementation of TPM program in TIM helped TIM achieved a lot of tangible and intangible benefits, where this benefits increased the organization image and status in the industry.

Public Colleges Call for State Funding Turnaround
Tennessee's public universities say this is the year to stem the tide in budget cuts. The Board of Regents and University of Tennessee are asking for a $33 million increase in state funding.
Tennessee's public universities say this is the year to stem the tide in budget cuts. The Board of Regents and University of Tennessee are asking for a $33 million increase in state funding.
The Tennessee Board of Regents is questioning the logic of legislation that prevents public colleges from enforcing nondiscrimination rules on religious student groups. The bill responds to an ongoing dispute at Vanderbilt University, even though private institutions are excluded.
As expected, the Tennessee Board of Regents voted today to raise tuition at its campuses by an average of more than nine percent. It's the largest increase since 2005. But to put it in perspective – as one Regent said – it's only about the cost of an iPhone…per semester.
As stimulus money runs out, the Tennessee Board of Regents is considering the system's largest tuition increase in at least six years.
Governor Bill Haslam says more savings can be found in focusing the missions of the state's universities than merging them into one system. He addressed members of the Tennessee Higher Education System Wednesday.
Three members of the Tennessee Board of Regents have resigned to make way for Republican appointees.
Hearings in the state Senate about how the Tennessee Board of Regents hired its new chancellor are likely to drag on. Republican Senators questioned members of the board for a second day, trying to figure out how the former deputy governor got the top job at TBR.
Governor Phil Bredesen says he approves of the decision by the Tennessee Board of Regents to hire his deputy governor John Morgan as the next chancellor. But he says the University of Tennessee system should consider someone with more traditional credentials.
Tuition at community colleges and many state universities is set to jump again soon. Students in a Tennessee Board of Regents university who are taking 12 credit hours can expect to pay an extra $120 this fall.
The Tennessee Board of Regents may spread what's expected to be more than a 12% tuition hike over the next two years to reduce the immediate pain to college students.
TBR is headed into its third straight year getting less money from the state, and expects by next year those cuts will add up to more than 25 percent lost.
The Tennessee Board of Regents is looking for a more favorable measure than graduation rates. They want to track the progress of students instead.
In a cover story for Newsweek Magazine, the senator calls on schools to graduate students more efficiently.
Total enrollment in Tennessee Board of Regents universities, community colleges and online degree programs is approaching 200,000 for the first time.
A buyout program for Tennessee Board of Regents employees has cut the total payroll of the college system by 4%.
Education majors at TBR institutions are beginning to take significantly fewer courses in how to teach. Instead, they spend a full year's residency in schools, instead of a single semester of student teaching.
The Tennessee Board of Regents is fine-tuning how much it will raise tuition rates at colleges around the state later this month. But what the Board decides will depend in part on the budget the state legislature is expected to pass in the next few weeks.

Well, here we have it. The reason why Microsoft Japan can't satisfy local gamers is more than their inability to supply software tailor made to the local market. It stretches beyond the incompetence they've shown in targeting their machine at the correct audience, and it has absolutely nothing what-so-ever to do with their Japanese business practises. Their problem lies in customer service and support, and the lack of care they have in dealing with the end-user is quite frankly, disgusting.
Of course, my sour opinion of their latest console is based on a personal experience that needs to be told. I can't say this situation will be the same for everyone, but if their indifferent Japanese nature is anything to go by, then I'm willing to bet it's game over Japan.
My problem started a few weeks after I bought the launch console when my launch copy of Ridge Racer 6 became unplayable. Removing the game from the unit revealed a series of small, semi concentric circles along the outer edge of the disc that were in fact, rather deep scratches. The marks themselves were no longer than about a centimeter a piece, and were all located in the same region of the disc at various depths from rim. Needless to say, it was unplayable, and figuring it was just a freak occurence I went out and bought a second copy of that game.
All was well for a few months until just recently when Project Gotham suffered a similar fate. The same scratches were in roughly the same places, and the result was the same DoD errors experienced previously. A quick examination of my game collection revealed a further 2 titles in similar states of damage with both Perfect Dark Zero (a game I barely played due to its total crapness) and the awesome, Call of Duty 2 being affected.
I was pissed.
Calling the Xbox Service center in Japan offered the usual responses, "send the machine back and we'll fix it for you", "we might be able to replace the games"... that was until i mentioned I had bought one of the titles from Singapore.
And here's the catch:
Microsoft Japan will replace the games bought locally, but they won't touch the foregin product.
I know. That seems fair enough on the surface of it, but when you stop and consider for a moment that the machine in question was made for the NTSC-J region, as was the copy of Call of Duty 2, you need to stop and ask WTF?! It's no good to claim the game you bought was compatible for your machine and sold in technically the same region, it has to be from the same, very specific corner of that region.
Better yet though, when I stated my reasons for importing it (namely MS Japan's complete inability to release games in a timely fashion) the CSR I was speaking with actually agreed. HE AGREED! He understood why someone might look to import compatible software from countries other than Japan, but was unwilling to do anything in regards to replacing the damaged goods. Not even a refund or a promise to supply the game once it receives a local release... nothing.
So that's left me with this, one copy of Call of Duty 2 that's completely useless, and a claim from MS Japan that the DVD drive wasn't actually defective. Apparently either it's supposed to scratch the discs, or I scratched them myself.
The CSR's words, not mine.
I couldn't believe it, so to drive the point home I went on to mention the rubber pads that previous Xbox drives have to protect software. He again said that the rubber isn't necessary, though failed to comment on why supposed internet experts (thank you Llama) demand that it is. Brilliant!
So according tio Microsoft I'm a liar and a cheater. Awesome work guys! If you had been Sony, you might have gotten away with lying to your customers as the vast majority of them are Moms and Dads, but your product is different. Of the 120,000 owners you proudly speak of in Japan, I'd hazard a guess and say that 99.9% of them are hardcore and follow the technical, underground issues such as the whole rubber thing very closely. If you can't be honest with us, who can you be honest with?
So anyway, to make a long story short (too late!), I'm tempted to sell my 360. I have no intention of relying on MS Japan for my new software, and seeing as how they couldn't promise me this wasn't going to happen again, I'm finding it hard to justify importing new games as replacements will be impossible.
Fantastic way to screw yourself out of support guys!
This saddens me as I consider the Xbox 360 an awesome machine, and have long supported Uncle Bill in his quest for home console domination. My library of original Xbox games numbers in the 100's, as would my 360 collection eventually. Now I just don't care anymore, and I'm convinced that everything you've ever heard about their grand plans for Japan is hogwash. Bullshit lipservice to hide their incompetence from not only the public, but their Seattle Overlords as well.
For now, you can count me out of 360 gaming and I don't know when I'll be back. You've pissed me off Japan, and I'm moving towards Sony faster than you may believe.
You score as of April 19th: 120,000 minus 1

Game: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Game Boy Advance)
Posted: April 25, 2009 (01:44 PM)
If you grew up during the 1990's then chances are you were exposed to the Ninja Turtle phenomenon in one form or another. Originally debuting in 1984 as a series of black & white comics by indie creators Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles quickly grew in popularity culminating with the 1990 release of their first, self-titled theatrical movie. At about the same time Konami of Japan were working on an arcade based, 4 player Ninja Turtle inspired brawler that was ultim...

Quick show of hands, who here wants to date a pre-teen Japanese girl? Better yet, what if you could take this lovely young lady on a private holiday, just the two of you exploring the sandy tropical beaches of Bali... would you like that?
Street Supremacy isn't just average, it's average without inspiration. You might wonder what it feels like to blast down a Tokyo expressway, grinding the slick, rain speckled concrete under tyre as a blind corner sends the back-end sliding out... well, keep wondering. This isn't the game for you.
Once known as the Japanese RPG with an odd name, From Software's latest is both an outstanding success, and a bitter disappointment. It's the type of game that screams for more development time, caught as it is in a vapid middle ground, languishing somewhere between "could have been" and "almost was".
Admittedly then, expectations for the PSP update were low. How were Team 17 going to overcome the interface problem on a system notorious for its poor controls? Long answer made short: they didn't. Instead, a series of workarounds have been implemented to increase user-friendliness, though in doing so, some basic design issues have gone unchecked.
Okamoto's desire to broaden the market through accessibility was noble, it's just a shame he selected a console that's been solely embraced by a minor sub-culture of die-hard enthusiasts.
Gene Simmons once sang "God gave rock 'n roll to you", and yay, unto his children the Almighty did deliver. From Jimi Hendrix, to Black Sabbath, and Mega Deth, we've gorged ourselves on the power chord, and snacked on sex and drugs like they were going out of fashion. Unfortunately however, some were more blessed than others, and those that couldn't tell the difference between a fret and a spider were left to admire the party from afar.
It's a return to grace for a series in danger of losing itself, and in a way, reaffirms the belief that only Capcom know how to deliver a solid, third person slash'em up. You can have your 3D Castlevanias and your weak as piss American imitations, the real action however, once more belongs to Keiji Inafune and the Genma hordes.
Until now, games based on World War Two have dodged a moral bullet thanks to the various limitations of the hardware supporting them. Arguments regarding the representation of mankind's darkest hour as a form of entertainment have covered everything from simple bad taste, to the trivialization of our greatest tragedy, yet the nay-sayers it seems, have been missing the point.
When you consider the process of remaking a classic, it's surprising how many times the new & improved product eventually disappoints. In a perfect world, developers would cautiously add a fresh lick of paint, fine tune the controls, then ship the game without burying it under a pile of noxious, modern thinking crap. Take note Taito, that was your first mistake.
Baito Hell 2000 on the other hand, wants you bored. It needs your brain on auto pilot, and will pummel it mercilessly with the same event until your eyes glaze over. And therein lies the hook: you're going to love every minute of it.
There are few games that can boast an arsenal quite like this, and there are fewer still that actually make it work. From the rapid fire brutality of the nail gun, to the hyper blaster, to a dark matter cannon that fires quantum singularities, each and every weapon packs an awesome punch.
Microsoft's conquest of Japan begins here. Designed to appeal specifically to local gamers and developed by genre specialists Yukes, Wrestle Kingdom features the combined talents of the All Japan, New Japan, and Pro Wrestling NOAH leagues.
There's a noticeable absence of firepower on the screen at any given time, particularly when compared to the latest generation of shooters. As such, players new to the genre might find Raiden III the perfect stepping stone into a few of the more, hell-ish encounters. And so long as they're not expecting too much, they might even have a good time.
That being said then, Konami's evolution was never going to address such concerns. Depth, Rebirth, and Solidity, are what they wanted, and Metal Gear Acid 2 has nailed its targets in turn. Those familiar with the original however, should feel right at home as the premise itself hasn't changed. You're still alternating rounds with the AI, moving Snake across the map via the use of cards which are randomly dealt from a fully customizable deck.
I guess it's fair to say then, Tetris: the Grandmaster Ace is something socially minded players will enjoy. Where a lack of ambition hurts its solo experience, the assorted Xbox Live modes have kept things fresh with a healthy dose of variety and some major, online competition.
Unfortunately however, Monster Hunter required more than I was prepared to give, and its strong focus on online play, coupled with the burden of monthly fees, soon put me off. Apparently I wasn't alone either, as Capcom have gone to great lengths in order to rework the gameplay, porting it to the PSP while fleshing out the overall experience.

Game: Densha de Go! Pocket: Yamanote-Sen-Hen (PSP)
Posted: November 29, 2005 (07:54 AM)
One of the great things about living in Japan is the number of cute high school girls... another would be the train sims. I know, I know. Like you probably just did a moment ago, there was a time when I scoffed at such ideas as well. On a scale of cool to geek, train watching ranks up there with comb-overs and plaid pants, yet I can most honorably confirm that Densha de GO! Portable is the bomb.

Century 21 China Real Estate's Management Discusses Q2 2011 Results - Q&A Transcript
Harry Lu
For secondary market, probably we're still going to see some chance out to increasing on the store productivity, but the more important I think is the primary part of the business. So I think for the rest of the year, by the time when the project have been kicking, we should be able to see some uptick on the revenue.
Liping Cai – William BlairOkay. And, yes, I am talking about for the primary and commercial business, how much growth – or as a percentage of total revenue how should we think about it for 2011 and maybe 2012? Kevin Wei Well, I mean, we disclosed that we have a pipeline that of which about 290,000 square meters GFA that are currently available for sales and obviously we'll try to push these through the third quarter as well as the fourth quarter of this year. Unfortunately, we cannot give any specific breakdown guidance on our next quarter revenue. Having said that, I mean in the second quarter we had about RMB10 million. We definitely expect to have a much significant increase in terms of the primary and commercial business revenue and contribution in the third quarter as well as in the fourth quarter. Liping Cai – William Blair Okay, that's helpful. And then lastly for your store closing or temporary store closures, so do you expect to close additional stores in the next couple of quarters? And, if so, do you have a target of how many stores you would like to have in its main cities? Harry Lu I think we'll probably would – should not expect a big amount of a store closure in the follow-on quarter, so we're probably looking at something around 450 to 470 of a store in operation for the rest of the year.

King County considers possible partnership with Humane Society for animal control
Four members of the Metropolitan King County Council said Monday the county needs to bow out of the animal-control business and let another agency take over.
Seattle Times staff reporter
Should King County be in the animal-shelter business or not?
Four members of the Metropolitan King County Council said Monday the county needs to bow out and let another agency take over.
The reaction — from Council Chair Julia Patterson, Vice Chairs Dow Constantine and Reagan Dunn and Councilmember Larry Phillips — follows the release of a long-awaited strategic plan on the future of King County Animal Care and Control.
The council was briefed Monday on the plan, which outlined three choices: whether the county should keep operating as is, discontinue providing animal-shelter services or partner with another agency.
"The current model isn't working, and frankly hasn't worked for years," Patterson said in a news release.
At the end of the meeting, Constantine directed county staff to examine option three — the partner model. This means, essentially, that the county would step out of the animal-control business and transfer responsibilities to another entity, according to the report.
"There are many details to be worked out, including the effect that moving to a community-based system will have on our valued county employees," Constantine said. "Our employees and their representatives will certainly be part of our discussions as part of a transition plan to a new organizational model."
Animal control has come under fire in the past year for running understaffed, overcapacity shelters in Bellevue and Kent, with high euthanasia rates.
Two reports, one from a citizens committee in 2007 and a follow-up from a group of veterinarians at the University of California, Davis, called conditions at the Kent shelter deplorable. The reports pointed to poor sanitation, outbreaks of canine parvovirus and feline upper-respiratory infections, failure to vaccinate some animals and no place to isolate sick dogs.
County Executive Ron Sims said the county is in discussions with leaders of the Seattle Humane Society over a possible partnership where animal care would be split between the county and the nonprofit organization, which operates a shelter in Bellevue.
Sims said he thinks the county should pick up strays and "hold animals" that may be returned to their owners or that are quarantined because of disease.
A nonprofit partner, he said, would spearhead adoption efforts and would care for animals released from quarantine and cleared for adoption. Sims said he envisions the county and the nonprofit "co-locating" their shelters.
The county "has met every goal" set by the County Council for its shelters, Sims said. While he acknowledged that major facilities must be improved, he said the county can't simply do away with its shelter system.
"In the end," Sims said, "we have 1,000 animals a month. The issues were 'Where do you take 1,000 animals?' It is clear nonprofit agencies can't absorb 1,000 animals."
This stance drew the ire of animal-shelter-reform advocates who staged a protest at noon Monday in front of Seattle City Hall. The protest was organized by King County Animal Care and Control (KCACC) Exposed, which say the county must wash its hands of the animal-sheltering business.
A group of about 40 people held signs and chanted "Ron Sims, enough is enough!" Some brought their dogs wearing messages printed with the words "Ron Sims, animals first, politics last."
Wendy Keller, acting manager for animal control, attended the protest. She pointed to the strides made this year at the shelters, such as expanding the foster-home program, improving sanitation procedures and reducing the euthanasia rate to 20 percent.
"We respect [the protesters'] viewpoint," she said. "But they aren't looking at what's happened in the past year ... people are walking around with a lot of misinformation."
In Snohomish County, animal-sheltering services are contracted out to the city of Everett animal shelter and to the private nonprofit Progressive Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) in Lynnwood. The county has not been in the animal-shelter business for more than a quarter-century.
Everett Animal Services director Bud Wessman notes that Snohomish County's policy differs from King and Pierce counties, and Thurston County.
"Because there is no state mandate, it's really up to each agency to determine what they want to provide," Wessman said.
In Pierce County, the private nonprofit Humane Society for Tacoma and Pierce County, which is not a municipal agency, handles animal-shelter services countywide.
The county, as well as cities in Pierce County, pays the nonprofit for sheltering services. But the Humane Society does not handle animal-control duties or licensing for the county or the cities within Pierce County, said Denise McVicker, deputy director for The Humane Society for Tacoma and Pierce County.

- 0May 23, '07 by mimi1jbHello everyone. Im not a nurse yet but am in my third semester, one more year to go. I live in NYC and was wondering if anyone out there could tell me about internships or jobs in there hospitals. Tuition is really worrying me for the fall (15, 000) and I wanted to get something fast. I havent been able to find anything on my own. So i wanted to ask fellow New Yorkers for help.
Thank you very much!

- 0Jun 10, '07 by PROVERBShi! i'm taking the CGFNS exam this September and Im planning to apply for NCLEX this month. Just wanted to ask the following:
1. I want to apply for NM because of its speedy processing but my hearts is in NY. I understand that if I choose NY, it will take me 9-11 months unlike NM which will only take me 3 months at most. Im planning to apply for NM and then apply an endorsement/reciprocity for NY after. How long will the reciprocity will take? Is the time needed to apply for reciprocity equivalent to the time if I apply directly to NY instead of NM and then later endorse to NY? Which plan should I take: NM then endorse to NY or apply directly to NY? Which time will cost me less?
2. does NY require an SS# before they will issue the license just like in CA? I couldn't find a NY question & answer forum like this.
Im hoping that you guys could help me with my dilemma. THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH! GOD BLESS
- 0Jun 18, '07 by ymmaiHi! I just got my NY license last May and my papers are still with the NVC. I still don't know when I am going to New York. Hopefully, my agency would pay my visa fee bill this week. Anyway, I'd just want to know if someone in here is from Bronx? Specifically, from SPLITROCK REHAB AND HEALTH CARE CENTER? That is my work place given to me by my agency. Can anyone tell me how is the living and working conditions in that area? Is it safe in living/working in there? Thanks. Hope someone replies...

Can we make it?
We have a 450 ADR at 1900 Park Fare at the GF, and then we have to be at the CR at 630 for the pirates and pals cruise. No car--need to use the monorail. I am pretty sure we can make this, but how long does the monorail take?
Maybe we once had ADR for 1900 park and was not seated until 30 minutes after our ADR time
Maybe. Park Fare is notorius for late seating. Also if seeing all of the characters is a priority this will further limit your chances. Plus you need to factor in a mechanical breakdown on the monorail. :lmao:
4:50 is pretty early though, and they seat early or on time when they first open. I would try to get there a wee bit early, and because it's a buffet, you could be in and out in an hour.
We did pirates and pals and you don't want to be late. They have food and drinks before you get on the boat plus photo ops with the pirates. It was great. Have fun but knowing how I am I would be nervous about making it on time. You don't want to rush 1900. Great time there also
Hmmm. How long would a cab take between the resorts, if it came to that?
Quicker to mono it unless of course it was down

Fla man pleads guilty to smuggling birds from Cuba
Federal authorities say a Miami man faces up to 20 years in prison for trying to smuggle birds from Cuba into the United States in his pants.
Alberto Diaz Gonzalez pleaded guilty Thursday to attempting to import undeclared wildlife from the Caribbean island. The U.S. Attorney's office says Diaz will be sentenced in February.
A message left Sunday for Diaz's federal public defender was not immediately returned.
Diaz returned Oct. 20 to Miami from Havana. According to court documents, he told U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials at Miami's airport that he was not carrying any wildlife.
Authorities say that when officers searched Diaz, they found 16 Cuban bullfinches hidden in his pants. Diaz then told the officers he got the birds in Cuba and planned to sell them here.
