"He'd ensure the safety of his ship and his crew
And then complete the mission
And make himself a better person
Bring peace to the galaxy
And do it for free
Oh yeah, that's what Captain Picard would do."
– from "What Would Captain Picard Do?" by Hank Green
Captain Jean-Luc Picard is the model of a great 24th Century Starfleet captain. On his watch, the crew of the Enterprise successfully defended humanity against the judgement of the Q-Continuum, defeated the Borg, prevented the Romulans from installing a puppet government in the Klingon Empire, and encountered countless new species.
Although Captain Picard's style was very different from Captain Kirk's, he was also an incredibly successful leader. Here are five lessons in leadership that can take away from Picard's voyages as you take your organization on its journey to boldly go where no one has gone before.
1. Speak to people in the language they understand. (Or, it's okay to threaten a Klingon.)
"In my experience, communication is a matter of patience and imagination. I would like to believe that these are qualities that we have in sufficient measure."
One of the key challenges to Captain Picard during his voyages was the problem of communication. Even in an era where universal translators could translate virtually every language imaginable, communication is more than just a matter of language. The different races that Picard encountered had their own cultures, customs and values. In order to work effectively with them, he mastered the ability to communicate with them on his own terms. When he was challenged by Klingons, he had no problem getting back in their faces and swearing at them. In Klingon culture, that's how one earns respect. When he was confronted with the Sheliak, who refused to grant him more time to resettle colonists on a planet they wanted, he wrung concessions out of them through their hyper-detailed, legalistic manner of negotiation.
Perhaps no episode, though, demonstrates Picard's willingness to put himself in someone else's shoes than "Darmok." In that episode, Picard and his crew meet with an alien race known as the Children of Tama. Although the ship's translators could make their words comprehensible, their speech wasn't, because it was entirely structured around metaphor and allusions to their myths. Noting this, the Tamarian captain kidnapped Picard and marooned them both on a world where they could face a common enemy. Over the course of their struggles, Picard was able to learn and understand the Tamarian language, paving the way towards greater understanding between the Tamarians and the Federation.
Perhaps one of the key skills for any good leader is the ability to empathize and understand the people they work with, both on their team and outside their organizations. This is especially true in a globalized world. People bring to the table not only their skills, but also their experiences, personalities, and cultures. Understanding those cultures and experiences enables you to effectively communicate.
2. When you're overwhelmed, ask for help.
"You wanted to frighten us. We're frightened. You wanted to show us we were inadequate. For the moment, I grant that. You wanted me to say 'I need you.'? I NEED you!"
One of Picard's constant foils was Q, a near-omnipotent being whose judgments of humanity bookend both the first and last entries of the TV series. One particularly memorable episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation was "Q Who?" where, in a fit of pique, Q sent the Enterprise light-years away from their location, where they made the Federation's first contact with the Borg. The Borg are a race of cybernetic beings that share a collective consciousness. When they encounter new worlds, they assimilate the planets' technology and people into themselves. Their technology was years ahead of the Federation, and it became clear that there was no way for the Enterprise to win the battle and save themselves.
So Picard asked Q for help, which Q granted.
That's a hard thing to do. Especially in our individualist American culture, where there's a level of expectation that you solve your problems on your own. That sort of independence is far from a bad quality – indeed, the ability to be independent is an important skill for leaders. But equally important is having enough self-awareness to know when you're overwhelmed, when the odds are against you and when you know you can't win the battle by yourself. In those situations, a prudent leader will ask for help.
That's something that seems obvious, doesn't it? But how many of us have refused to acknowledge that we need help at some point in our lives? How many of us have been on teams led by someone who was out of their depth but unwilling to seek out any guidance? It takes a great deal of confidence to admit that you need help. As Q said to Picard after Picard asked for help, "That was a difficult admission. Another man would have been humiliated to say those words. Another man would have rather died than ask for help." How many of us have been on doomed projects because the project leader was too proud or too blind to ask for help?
When the time came, Picard wasn't afraid to ask for help. That allowed him and his crew to fight another day – and on that day, they did defeat the Borg. When the time comes, a good leader will have that same confidence to ask for help so that they, too, can fight another day.

The change from summer to fall and winter brings different problems to each of us. For some, the seasonal changes bring the all-too-familiar allergies, colds, and flu. For others it brings conjunctivitis, an inflammation of the conjunctiva. The conjunctiva is a thin, transparent layer that covers the inner eyelid and the white part of the eye.
The symptoms of conjunctivitis can run from annoying to painful, and include:
- Red, watery eyes
- Inflamed inner eyelids
- Scratchy feeling in the eyes
- Itchy eyes
- Pus-like or watery discharge
- Sensitivity to light
- Swelling of the eyelid
Types of Conjunctivitis
There are five types of conjunctivitis:
- Allergic, which occurs with exposure to allergens such as pollen, pet hair, or dander
- Chemical, which occurs with exposure to irritants such as hairspray and pollutants
- Ophthalmia neonatorum, which occurs when an infant's tear ducts are not completely opened or if the infant is exposed to bacteria in the birth canal
- Bacterial conjunctivitis, which occurs with exposure to some sort of bacteria
- Viral conjunctivitis, which is caused by a virus
Removing Triggers
The best way to treat allergic and chemical conjunctivitis is to remove the allergen or pollutant from your daily environment. You should also:
- Flush your eyes with cold water.
- Avoid rubbing your eyes.
- Apply a cold compress.
- Avoid using eye makeup and contacts.
Preventing Conjunctivitis from Spreading
Both bacterial and viral conjunctivitis are contagious. If you get either of these types of conjunctivitis, measures should be taken to avoid spreading the condition to your other eye or to other people. These measures include:
- Wash your hands thoroughly and often.
- Avoid rubbing the infected eye or eyes.
- Do not share towels, pillowcases, or handkerchiefs with others, and use these items only once before washing.
- Place a clean towel over the pillowcase each night to avoid re-infection.
- Do not share eye makeup with others, especially eyeliner and mascara. And avoid using any eye makeup at all while you are suffering from any type of conjunctivitis.
- If your child gets bacterial or viral conjunctivitis, you should keep them out of school for a few days. Otherwise, it is not uncommon for the condition to spread throughout an entire class.
When to Seek Treatment
Conjunctivitis will often go away by itself, but if not, it can be cured relatively easily. However, certain types of conjunctivitis, if left untreated, can cause permanent damage to your cornea and impair your vision permanently. You should immediately seek treatment if:
- You develop redness or discomfort in your eye that is affecting your vision.
- The redness and discomfort in your eye starts to become painful, or a yellow or green discharge begins to develop.
- You have a newborn child whose eyes are inflamed and are not producing tears. This may be a sign of ophthalmia neonatorum which, if not treated quickly, can lead to permanent eye damage.

The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga men's tennis team put three members on the All-Southern Conference squad, the league office announced today. Senior Manuel Barroetavena grabbed first-team honors while seniors Ankit Chopra and Roberto Vieira made the second team in doubles.
Barroetavena, a two-year starter from Buenos Aires, Argentina, had the rare feat of making the first team from the No. 2 position. He went 22-9, 15-4 in the spring dual season and 8-2 in SoCon matches. He was 13-3 while playing No. 2 or No. 3, and 2-1 when stepping into the top spot.
"In my 12 years of coaching, this only the second time I can remember someone making the first team who did not play No. 1," said head coach Carlos Garcia. "It just goes to show how well Manny played throughout the spring and the impact he had on our team."
Chopra (Chandigrah, India) and Vieira (Bedfordview, South Africa) were also a surprise addition to the All-SoCon squad. They were paired together late in the season and posted a 3-3 record in the spring. However, they won three of their last four matches, all against tough competition in league play.
"Getting Ankit and Roberto on the All-SoCon team was huge," stated Garcia. "It is a bit of a surprise since they didn't play together very long, but it is still a very deserving honor based on how they performed down the stretch."
Barroetavena was also impressive in doubles and had a chance for postseason honors with teammate and fellow senior Jackson Tresnan (Apopka, Fla.). They were 13-3 in spring matches and 9-1 in SoCon play. They went 8-1 in their usual No. 3 position.
The Mocs posted an 11-8 overall record and 6-4 in league action. UTC has clinched back-to-back winning seasons for the first time since 2007 and 2008. Chattanooga has also recorded its first winning record in league play since 2007.
UTC grabbed a first-round bye at the SoCon Tournament with a fifth place finish in the league standings. The Mocs face UNCG in the second round on Friday, April 20, at 9:00 a.m. in Elon, N.C. A link for live scoring will be available on the men's tennis schedule page on GoMocs.com.

A recorded bomb threat was phoned in to Summerville Elementary School on Thursday morning.
Students and staff were evacuated according to the Dorchester District 2 crisis management plan for safety, PIO Pat Raynor said.
Police and emergency services were on site. Students and staff returned to the school as everything was cleared, Raynor said.
Were still working it trying to determine were the call came from, Summerville Police Department Capt. Jon Rogers said at about midday. The call came in at about 8:30 a.m.
As of 11 a.m. students were at recess on the playground and everything looked as if it had returned to normal.
The district sent a parent link message to let parents know what was going on.
Police are continuing to investigate the source of the threat, Raynor said. We always take everything like that very seriously. Unfortunately threats of that nature do occur occasionally.

They advised residents to stay off of the roadways and to remain indoors, if possible.West Virginia Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin has declared a state of emergency as residents deal with the effects from Hurricane Sandy. A winter storm warning was issued in Boone County through Wednesday, Oct. 31, 2012.Tomblin on Monday opened a special communications center at the state Capitol in Charleston.Mondays declaration came as Tomblin coordinated resources with National Guard Adjutant Gen. James Hoyer and Jimmy Gianato, the states homeland security director.Tomblin says officials are looking at a three-punch storm.With rain and snow already falling, the threat of flooding is expected to increase in both panhandles, the governor said. Two or more feet of snow was expected in mountainous counties such as Pocahontas, Randolph and Tucker. And high winds will bring the possibility of power outages.Early Tuesday morning President Barack Obama signed a federal disaster declaration for the state as well. This allows FEMA and Department of Homeland Security to offer relief to those hit hardest during this storm.In Boone County, Bolt Mountain and other higher elevations were snow covered Monday and at least one car accident was reported.Tomblin advised residents to be ready for outages and to stay off the roadways.Boone County Sheriff Rodney A. Miller, Danville Mayor Mark McClure, Madison Mayor H.H. Howel, Jr. and Sylvester Mayor Manuel Arvon issued a joint press released rescheduling trick or treat for the unincorporated areas of Boone County and for the towns of Madison, Danville and Sylvester.The original date of Tuesday, Oct. 29, 2012, was cancelled and trick or treat in Boone County and the municipalities has been reset for Saturday, Nov. 3, from 5 - 7 p.m.This decision was made after consultation with the National Weather Service and discussions with the Mayors available by telephone this evening, said Sheriff Miller. In the event of hazardous weather this week as forecasted, Saturday can give citizens the ability to possibly recover from this storm.Miller said the decision was made for the safety of Boone County children.Forecasts called for more snow, rain, winds and freezing conditions possibly into Thursday. State and city workers continued to try to keep roadways and sidewalks cleared even as snow continued to fall on Tuesday, Oct. 30, 2012.On Tuesday at noon Appalachian Power reported that 9,732 of its 12,938 customers in Boone County were without power, which was 75.2 percent. Across West Virginia, a total of 243,000 customers were without power as of Tuesday at noon.Anyone that loses power should report it to Appalachian Power at 1-800-982-4237.To keep updated on school closing visit the Web site at http://wvde.state.wv.us/closings/county/all

The Voice Season 3 Live Semi-Finals Recap: The Final Four
It's the semi-finals of The Voice and that means it's time for everyone to step up their game. Even the coaches showed out for the occasion, dressing up for the penultimate live rounds in their holiday best (for Cee Lo that means dressing like a normal person). With coaches Adam Levine and Christina Aguilera sidelined, it comes down to Team Blake and Cee Lo to battle it out for number one.
And this week, we had the requisite contestant homecoming where they were showered with gifts, keys to the city, and all types of perks that only national reality show fame gets you.
Before we get to the good stuff, we had a well-timed Christmas performance from the always adorable crooner and Team Blake Voice mentor Michael Bublé. And while his smooth singing gave us the warm fuzzies, it was time to forgo the holiday cheer for that competitive spirit as the remaining four faves geared up to deliver their biggest performances yet.
Trevin Hunte
First up, was the big softie with the bigger voice, Trevin Hunte. Seeing where Trevin grew up and went to school (with no 8th grade teacher in sight), it's no wonder that the 18-year-old has a heart of gold.
Dedicating his song, "Wind Beneath My Wings" by Bette Midler, to all of the kids from his alma mater, Trevin came out flanked by a heavenly choir, and he sounded, of course, like an angel.
And the coaches continued to be blown away by his gift. Adam Levine couldn't have been happier with the choice while Christina Aguilera, who has an almost impressive ability to make everything about her, thought it reminded her of, you guessed it, that time she sang it. When she was seven years old.
Nicholas David
Back in Minnesota, we got a chance to see where the one-of-kind Nicholas David came from and a chance to listen to his unborn child's heartbeat. The producers are really pulling at our heartstrings with this one, especially given Nicholas' song choice of Joe Cocker's "You Are So Beautiful."
And it looks like our dear St. Nick got himself a new style, rocking a slightly more polished look that let us actually see his face, free from those futuristic goggle sunglasses. Stripped of that odd accessory, Nicholas sang straight to his family and delivered a much simpler yet intensely powerful rendition of the song.
Adam appreciated his warm spirit and Cee Lo Green was happy with the overall outcome of the song.
And then we had a little reunion, as all of the contestants of Team Blake Past got back together to record a cutesy version of "White Christmas." Singing it live on The Voice stage, the eliminated singers got a chance to see what they were missing, performing live for America, but even better, Blake didn't have to pay for backup singers so win-win!
Cassadee Pope
Traveling back to West Palm Beach, Florida, Cassadee Pope got a warm Florida welcome, and a little idea of what winning The Voice would be like — even getting a key to the city. Don't you only get those for saving kids out of burning buildings?
Back on stage, Cassadee went from girl next door to glam couture, looking and sounding absolutely stunning as she made her way through Keith Urban's "Stupid Boy." Week in and week out, her voice always sounds album ready, and frankly it's a little absurd how spot on her vocals always are.
Blake applauded her ability to connect with the lyrics and Christina agreed, saying that her voice was sometimes so perfect that it almost sounded "auto-tuned." Well that's something! If she doesn't win here, she might have a job doing backup vocals for T-Pain.
Terry McDermott
Terry McDermott headed back to the Big Easy to surprise his son, who was possibly the cutest kid with a side swept bangs we've ever seen. In turn, Terry was surprised with a visit from his Scottish aunt and uncle who came all the way from across the pond to support their son. Side note: He's got the best "I'm so shocked!" face ever.
On stage, Terry brought it home with his smooth rendition of The Beatles' "Let It Be," hitting those high notes like a rock star, and reminding us that this song is best sung by those hailing from across the pond.
Adam was so into it, mouthing along to Terry's performance like a cute little groupie, calling it a moment that transcended this "silly little show." Hey now, this silly little show pays your bills, kid!
Coach Blake Shelton went a step further calling it "musical perfection," which was a bit excessive, but we had a hard time arguing with that assessment.
And that's it for tonight! Tomorrow, duet performances, season 2 throwbacks, and one artist goes home! Who do you think will be packing their bags? Sound off in the comments below!

About LIM College
Visual Merchandising Students Create Installation for the Housewares Design Awards
Awards show at Marriott Marquis provides exciting opportunity for hands-on experience
On January 29, LIM College Visual Merchandising students Bianca Bartolo and Ron Domantay, under the direction of Professor Marjorie Lee Woo and with the support of Professor Grailing King and Visual Merchandising Department Chair Eric Feigenbaum, completed an installation at the Marriot Marquis Hotel for the Housewares Design Awards.
The Housewares Design Awards— the premier awards program focused on housewares design innovation— was founded in 2003 by HomeWorld Business magazine to honor the unyielding effort within the industry to create new ways to improve everyday living. This marks the fourth time that LIM College's Visual Merchandising students worked on the set-up of the Housewares Design Awards, and they've already been invited to participate again next year.
The Housewares Design Awards join an impressive roster of industry partners LIM College's Visual Merchandising Depatment has recently worked with to provide students with experiential education opportunities, including The Dream Downtown Hotel, DHL, the Fashion Center Business Improvement District, and the National Stationery Show.

MILLERS CREEK - Starmount ran into the softball juggernaut that is West Wilkes Tuesday night.
The Mountain Valley Conference-leading Blackhawks cruised to the convincing 10-2 victory to stay perfect in league play at 10-0 in front of the home crowd.
West ace Courtney Lackey silenced the Lady Rams, allowing just three hits in a complete-game gem to pick up the win.
Starmount struck first against Lackey, pushing across a surprising run in the top of the first on a Rachel Wagoner double. But then West got stingy.
The Rams were sat down in order in four frames, including the fourth, fifth and sixth, and only managed two base hits over the final six innings after the strong first.
Mackenzie Hutchens ripped a double down the line in the third, but was stranded at second.
Down 10-1 in the seventh, the Rams loaded the bases against Lackey to make things interesting. After Wagoner and Alisha Baity drew walks and Christy Reavis reached on an error, Angel Couch brought home a run on a RBI single to left.
But Lackey buckled down and slammed the door to preserve the 10-2 victory.
Starmount, now 3-6 in league play, look to bounce back this week against 2A rival Ashe County Tuesday night and local nemisis Elkin Friday night.

Year of publication
- 1997 (2) (remove)
- Directed and Elliptic Flow in 158 GeV/Nucleon Pb + Pb Collisions. Draft 2.2. (1997)
- The directed and elliptic flow of protons and charged pions has been observed from the semi-central collisions of a 158 GeV/nucleon Pb beam with a Pb target. The rapidity and transverse momentum dependence of the flow has been measured. The directed flow of the pions is opposite to that of the protons but both exhibit negative flow at low pt. The elliptic flow of both is fairly independent of rapidity but rises with pt. PACS numbers: 25.75.-q, 25.75.Ld
- Hadronic expansion dynamics in central Pb + Pb collisions at 158 GeV per nucleon (1997)
- Two-particle correlation functions of negative hadrons over wide phase space, and transverse mass spectra of negative hadrons and deuterons near mid-rapidity have been measured in central Pb+Pb collisions at 158 GeV per nucleon by the NA49 experiment at the CERN SPS. A novel Coulomb correction procedure for the negative two-particle correlations is employed making use of the measured oppositely charged particle correlation. Within an expanding source scenario these results are used to extract the dynamic characteristics of the hadronic source, resolving the ambiguities between the temperature and transverse expansion velocity of the source, that are unavoidable when single and two particle spectra are analysed separately. The source shape, the total duration of the source expansion, the duration of particle emission, the freeze-out temperature and the longitudinal and transverse expansion velocities are deduced.

Amber Rose is over all the Kardashian drama.
Maybe she's born with it. Maybe she just uses a lot of lotion.
If there is one lesson to be learned in 2015, it is the following: do not f*** with Nicki Minaj.

If thought that Google's new design looks terrible, wait until you see some prototypes shared by Jon Wiley, Senior User Experience Designer at Google.
A lot of the ideas from these prototypes didn't make the cut: the blue search button that attracted too much attention, the blue background of the search results pages, showing separate sections for universal search results.
"We made hundreds of prototypes and gathered feedback from user studies, Googlers and through experiments — including one of our largest visible experiments ever. In the end, we came up with a design that provides dynamic, relevant search tools on the left, while lightening and updating the aesthetics all around," says Jon Wiley.
Even if the new interface is more cluttered with advanced options and I'll miss the dictionary links, I still think the redesign is an improvement. Google's search results pages look more consistent, the advanced options are more relevant and I already use them more often.
If you want to use the old interface, it's still available at http://www.google.com/webhp?hl=all. You can also try the Greasemonkey script "Hide Google Sidebar".
