Management uses these supplemental non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate performance period over period, to analyze the underlying trends in our business, to assess our performance relative to our competitors, and to establish operational goals and forecasts that are used in allocating resources. In addition, management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to further its understanding of the performance of our operating segments. The adjustments excluded from our non-GAAP financial measures are consistent with those excluded from our operating segments' measures of net sales and profit or loss. These adjustments are excluded from the segment measures that are reported to our chief operating decision maker that are used to make operating decisions and assess performance.
We believe that presenting adjusted net income, adjusted net income per share, and revenue growth rates that exclude certain amounts and/or the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, in addition to the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provides investors greater transparency to the information used by management for its financial and operational decision-making and allows investors to see our results "through the eyes" of management. We further believe that providing this information assists our investors in understanding our operating performance and the methodology used by management to evaluate and measure such performance.
The following is an explanation of each of the adjustments that management excluded as part of these non-GAAP financial measures for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, and for the forecasted three month period ending September 30, 2013 and full year ending December 31, 2013, as well as reasons for excluding each of these individual items:

Companies in a wide variety of industries face common business challenges: improving response time, increasing processing capacity, managing costs, facilitating ease of management and improving scalability. Here are some of the challenges Egenera has solved.
Cloud Services
Daiwa Institute of Research (DIR): Research, Consulting and Systems Integration Services
Impact: Cloud Infrastructure Management
Daiwa Institute of Research (DIR) is a comprehensive think tank within Daiwa Securities Group,
combining research, consulting and systems integration services. As a global company, DIR
wanted to create a cloud service that tied together geographically dispersed data centers, while
reducing total cost of ownership and enhancing overall availability. They envisioned a hybrid
cloud that could integrate with clouds built by their partners as well. As part of this strategic
initiative they also planned to roll out a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) service to their 4000
users. DIR chose Egenera solutions as a foundation for this flexible and highly available cloud
infrastructure to support their global business.

Albridge: Financial Application Hosting
Impact: Virtualization for competitive advantage
Albridge Solutions has migrated from proprietary UNIX® servers to industry-standard servers running Linux® and PAN Manager® Software by Egenera®. Initially, IT considered building a virtualized environment by combining virtualization and management point-products. They discovered, however, that resulting complexity would be overwhelming. Servers from the industry's largest vendors were also ruled out since their legacy architectures made virtualization and resource sharing impossible. Today, using industry-standard servers and PAN Manager, Albridge can run any application on any server at any time based on demand.

Panasonic Electric Works Information Systems: Internet Data Center Services
Impact: Consolidation, HA and DR

Commerzbank NA: Disaster Recovery
Impact: Security and simplicity through data center virtualization
After experiencing a major outage, Commerzbank NA launched an initiative to enhance its disaster-recovery strategy. The goal was to deploy a pool of virtualized servers that could run UNIX® or Microsoft® Windows® on demand, to complement the flexibility already achieved with virtualization on the storage and network sides.
Today, thanks to Egenera, their DR site not only ensures business continuity, it plays an active role in daily computing requirements—notably improving utilization. Moreover, Commerzbank NA has consolidated 140 legacy servers into just 48, slashed server-configuration time from two days to one hour, and reduced floor-space requirements by 60 percent.

IT architects at Standard Chartered PLC had decided to centralize data center operations for its core retail-banking application, which is available to customers at 1,200 locations worldwide. After evaluating other vendor offerings, Standard Chartered selected PAN Manager® Software by Egenera®. Egenera was the only vendor with an integrated solution for infrastructure virtualization and management, and the only one with customer references and a proven product. As a result, Standard Chartered has cut total cost of ownership in half compared to their previous proprietary solution and can now bring a new country online in nine days rather than 45 as estimated for its legacy architecture.

Hi..this morning I discovered a couple of jars of homemade produce that I made about 5 years ago,maybe more,when I was going through a "organic,pesticide free,home produce,self sufficiency "phase.One jar contains beetroot,and the other jar contains blackberry jam liberally laced with Amaretto i seem to remember! Both jars never enjoyed vacuum sealing or anything like that,but they both look absolutely perfect.My question is...are they safe to eat?I could test them out on May,or even keep them until we have friends to stay in October,but I'm not that sort of person..so come on you W.I.ladies,Save Stan from Salmonella

5 years is way too long to trust any home packaged food product with or without vacuum packing. I would advise disposing of them.

No problem Stan. Eat it- but make it soon.
I used to make jam for England when the kids were young. One year, I made so much plum jam that we were eating it years later.
If there is no sign of mould or fermentation then it should be ok.
Elf and safety bods will probably come at me with all guns blazing but I'm sure we've all taken bigger risks with food at the hands of our parents and before the world went mad.
One tip though-I think you should eat it before October-don't push your luck.;)

As for 'obeying', I think that if I were you, I would obey May on whether you should eat the jam. ;)
Your friend Bill would get on very well with my OH, who goes nuts if I throw anything away that is past it's eat by date.
Some months ago he gave me a mint from a packet that had been in an old coat pocket. It was rather tasteless adn when I checked the packet, it was 4years out of date!
21st August 2010, 12:22 PM #10
the jam ought to be ok - unless it's acquired a fluffy coat....
Not so sure about the beetroot. What was it preserved in? And don't say a jar.... Vinegar?
I usually rely on the sniff test!

I am wondering if the fat put into the butt surgically could melt away with time. Since I'm considering that procedure I want to know how long does it last.
Doctor Answers 30
Promoted Local Answer
Long-lasting results after a Brazilian Butt lift
A Brazilian butt lift is a safe and effective procedure that combines liposuction of the abdomen hips waist and back and then fat grafting to the gluteal region. This is a safe and effective way to contour the lower body. After a successful Brazilian Butt lift, the fat that remains will stay there for the rest of your life. Like the rest of the tissue in your body this fat will grow and age with you.

How Long Does Brazilian Butt Lift Results Last?
My best advice to you would be to set up an in person consultation with an accredited, board certified surgeon. Find a surgeon who has had results you find incredible, and someone who has vast experience in this field.
Now, initially you will experience a period where some fat cells are lost, but there is a line of demarcation, or sorts, in the 4-6 week post-surgery timeframe when all cells that have survived will remain.
Web reference: http://themendietatechnique.com/contact-us/
BBL results should be permanent
When done correctly, a BBL should give your permanent results. You will lose some of the fat initially, but whatever remains at 3 months after surgery, should be with you forever. Large changes in weight or pregnancy will have an effect though on your result, so it is important to follow healthy lifestyle. Choose a surgeon who has done hundreds and can show you long term results....not just pictures of their patients in the operating room or at teh first post-op visit!
Web reference: http://www.drschulmanplasticsurgery.com/buttock-augmentation-and-lift-photo-gallery/
How Long Do Brazilian Buttlift Results Last?
The Brazilian buttlift results that are obtained after 3 months are permanent if the body weight and body fat percentage are held stable. This is dependent upon the amount of fat transferred, the way in which the procedure is performed, and the way the patient is managed in the postoperative period. Kenneth Hughes, MD Brazilian buttlift Los Angeles, CA
With Good Technique, Brazilian Butt Lift results should be permanent!
Hi there-
As long as it is done by an experienced BBL surgeon, your outcome should be permanent.
Once the fatty tissue "takes", meaning that it has re-established a blood supply, there should be no reason it would "melt away"...
Having said that, if you were to lose a major amount of weight, your buttocks will get smaller (just as the rest of you would), but the SHAPE of your butt and its relationship to your other body contours should be maintained.
These are prime reasons why our BBL patients are so very happy.
Please see my BBL before and afters here on RealSelf for confirmation.
Web reference: http://www.DrArmandoSoto.com
How Long Does Brazilian Butt Lift Results Last?
Healthy Lifestyle Contributes to Long-Term or Permanent Results
The survival of fat cells is dependent upon re-establishing blood supply.This process should be complete within two to three months of the fat transfer.At this point, the fat cells should behave in a normal manner.
This doesn't mean that your buttock contour is permanent.Individual fat cells may still respond to fluctuations in weight and this can ultimately effect the contour and projection of your buttock.It's safe to say that if your weight is stable the changes that occur with this procedure should be more or less permanent.

Charlotte Ronson for Sephora Makeup Collection
Ok, I admit it, I didn't technically take Charlotte Ronson's Makeup Collection seriously enough.
But I'm beyond serious now! It looks fabulous.
Take a look!
Charlotte Ronson for Sephora is a selection of effortless beauty pieces inspired by her friends and family such as Nicole Richie, Rashida Jones, and of course, her sister.
With a price range of $14 to $28 the line also proves highly affordable.
Take a look!
Charlotte Ronson A Perfect Kiss Lip Gloss $14
A collection of super shiny lip glosses, each held in its own heart-shaped tube.
Charlotte Ronson All Eye Need Eye Shadow Palette Nicole $22
Charlotte Ronson 3 X A Charm Luminizer, Blush, Bronzer $28
Nicole Richie's palette looks amazing, I'm highly interested in picking it up when it launches.
Charlotte Ronson's Makeup Collection will be available exclusively at Sephora and Sephora.com
What do you think of the collection?
8/10/11 20:21 Liane:
The colors don't seem very… exciting.
8/10/11 21:29 Jeri:
Not to impressed.
8/10/11 23:09 Sarabeara:
I'm LOVING the price point! I think that trio is definitely in my future!
8/11/11 0:38 Taylor:
I like it. But I don't know if I like it enough to haul it.
8/11/11 2:37 Jessica:
I'm impressed! The initial pictures made me go um no! But after seeing it on Sephora I definitely will be buying a few things.
My only complaint right now is I was hoping for cute accessories.
I've liked Charlotte since her C.Ronson line that was cutesy and fun filled. I guess I was hoping her makeup collection would be more fun if that makes sense. Or at least with cutesy accessories, all her good stuff is in Japan these days.
8/11/11 7:32 Courtney:
Doesn't really do it for me either
8/11/11 9:07 Sarah S.:
Darn, I was excited for this but it is kind of yawn-enducing.
8/11/11 12:19 Jennifer:
It might be a little yawn inducing, but I think it's just the company trying to play it safe with neutrals and classic colors. It's not something I definitely want to run out and buy, but I could see myself using them if I had them in my stash already. Maybe if the pigmentation wwas especially strong or the formula was buttery silky smooth then I could see myself running out and picking 'em up. But the colors are easily dupable so without any further info I don't see myself purchasing.
8/11/11 21:58 Atanza:
8/14/11 2:39 Mags:
Hmmm..maybe not haul-inducing but I do love how it seems easy to travel with. But like Jennifer mentioned, it would have to be great quality and the colors would have to work just right for me before I would get them.
9/12/11 19:12 Jessica:
Muse, I picked up a few pieces and omg love the pigment!
9/15/11 14:17 Jessica:
I'm going to try a few of the other shadow palettes, I have the Drea one and love it. The Shoshanna palette is much better than I expected it to be. I like the 3 in 1 option.
The Rashida powder is great too but me being me potted it in to a container because I'm weird about brush applicators like that lol
9/19/11 12:30 kim:
has anyone tried the 3XA luminizer, blush, and bronzer in 1? basically "TRIPLE THREAT" I've tried EVERY luminizer/highlighter/shimmer out and the only one I was truly satisfied with was when MAC came out w/a limited time mineralize powder duo w/shimmer and I used up all the shimmer to it already =( BOO HOO but i have tons of shimmer but just not satisfied with it like MACs and I also went organic a couple months back and now limited to basically MOST makeups out there because of the toxins and hazards I'm more aware of now. Hard for me to pick out certain items due to my change in being more green but I still use the bad stuff here and there

August was the month when Windows 7 officially became the most popular operating system in the world, with Windows XP falling on the second position for the first time since its launch.
Last month however, Windows XP lost even more ground in Windows 7's favor and is expected to go down even more in the next months, as Windows 8 gets ready to hit the market.
According to Net Applications, Windows 7 remained the top choice in September with a market share of 44.04 percent, while Windows XP dropped to 41.23 percent. Windows Vista remains a disappointing operating system with 6.05 percent, while Mac OS X 10.7 is still far away from Windows with 2.34 percent.
Windows 8 will officially debut on October 25, so it's no surprise that its market share barely reached 0.26 percent, but Microsoft expects to record a significant growth from the very first months of availability.

Telephone lines were open for audience comments. Mr. Barrow talked via telephone from Mobile, Alabama, about a statewide vote on tax increases in Alabama the previous day. The governor proposed a $1.2 billion tax increase designed to cover the state's budget shortfall and make the tax system more progressive, but voters defeated it by a nearly 2-1 margin. The governor pledged not to raise taxes without the support of the people, and Alabama is not permitted to borrow money to finance government spending. close

Champion (Legend Novels)by Marie Lu
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
The explosive finale to Marie Lu's New York Times bestselling LEGEND trilogy — perfect for fans of THE HUNGER GAMES and DIVERGENT!
He is a Legend.
She is a Prodigy.
Who will be Champion?
June and Day have sacrificed so much for the people of the Republic — and each other — and now their country is on the brink of a new existence. June is back in the good graces of the Republic, working within the governments elite circles as Princeps Elect while Day has been assigned a high level military position. But neither could have predicted the circumstances that will reunite them once again. Just when a peace treaty is imminent, a plague outbreak causes panic in the Colonies, and war threatens the Republics border cities. This new strain of plague is deadlier than ever, and June is the only one who knows the key to her country's defense. But saving the lives of thousands will mean asking the one she loves to give up everything he has. With heart-pounding action and suspense, Marie Lu's bestselling trilogy draws to a stunning conclusion.
"The conclusion to Lu's Legend trilogy opens on a stage set for personal resolution, maybe even a happy ending. With the political transition established and the Patriots quiet, June and Day appear to have the opportunity to close their romantic distance. But there are lessons neither has learned about how much power to grant the past, and it's easier to focus on the virtues of separation. That is, until geopolitical reality comes roaring back to complicate every bond and every choice. Moments of technical awkwardness, rare in Lu's work, do crop up, such as a lengthy spoken confession by June's old colleague Thomas ('A blade of guilt twisted painfully in my chest, but it was too late to turn back'). The story, however, remains masterfully true to its themes of loyalty, necessity, and dreams, eschewing any easy outs that the plot could offer. A happy-ever-after glow was never in the cards for these two, but Lu displays a hint of Charlotte Bronté in the resolution her characters find. Ages 12 up. Agent: Kristin Nelson, Nelson Literary Agency." Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
"This exhilarating finale to the dystopian Legend trilogy delivers on the promises of the genre without ever being predictable about details. Ever respectful of the capacity of its readers, this series offers a satisfying conclusion of potential rather than a neatly wrapped denouement." Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review

The LA Times had a front page story yesterday reporting Disney Animation is closing the book on fairy tales, saying:
…the curtain is falling on "princess movies," which have been a part of Disney Animation's heritage since the 1937 debut of its first feature film, "Snow White." The studio's Wednesday release of "Tangled," a contemporary retelling of the Rapunzel story, will be the last fairy tale produced by Disney's animation group for the foreseeable future.
"Films and genres do run a course," said Pixar Animation Studios chief Ed Catmull, who along with director John Lasseter oversees Disney Animation. "They may come back later because someone has a fresh take on it … but we don't have any other musicals or fairy tales lined up." Indeed, Catmull and Lasseter killed two other fairy tale movies that had been in development, "The Snow Queen" and "Jack and the Beanstalk."
Other notable quotes from the piece:
Catmull said he and Lasseter have been encouraging filmmakers to break with safe and predictable formulas and push creative boundaries.
"If you say to somebody, 'You should be doing fairy tales,' it's like saying, 'Don't be risky,'" Catmull said. "We're saying, 'Tell us what's driving you.'"
Bonnie Arnold, an animation veteran who most recently produced DreamWorks Animation's "How to Train Your Dragon," said animated films must vie in the cineplex with effects-laden action films that a generation ago might have been considered more mature fare.
"You see elementary school kids standing in line to see 'Iron Man' or 'Transformers,' " Arnold said. "To be honest, that's who we're all competing with on some level."
It was a curious piece to see prominently displayed on page-one of Hollywood's major newspaper. It was almost as if Disney was hedging its bet against possible low box office expectations. Ed Catmull seemed to back peddle yesterday afternoon, responding to the article on his Facebook page with this:
A headline in today's LA Times erroneously reported that the Disney fairy tale is a thing of the past, but I feel it is important to set the record straight that they are alive and well at Disney and continue this week with Tangled, a contemporary retelling of a much loved story. We have a number of projects in development with new twists that audiences will be able to enjoy for many years to come. – Ed Catmull
That was certainly a carefully worded statement. I'm glad that fairy tales are alive and well "this week". Personally, I hope the quote in the article — the one about encouraging filmmakers to break with safe and predictable formulas and to push creative boundaries — is true. There's nothing wrong with re-telling a great fairy tale, but to truly live up to Walt Disney's vision the studio needs to move beyond tired public domain fables and push itself in new directions. I sincerely wish them luck with that.

Less than a fortnight ago Thomas feared his World Cup was over after he suffered rib cartilage damage in a late tackle from Stirling Mortlock during Wales' 32-20 defeat to Australia.
Even when scans proved the injury was not as bad as first expected, there was only thought to be an outside chance Thomas would be fit to face the Fijians.
But he has been in full contact training this week and replaces Kevin Morgan at full-back to bring up a century of Test caps in a must-win encounter for Wales.
At stake is a place in the World Cup quarter-finals and head coach Gareth Jenkins said: "No side would want to go into a game of this magnitude without its captain, it's as simple as that.
"Gareth's importance to this team cannot be understated, he's reached an historic landmark but no-one will be more focused than him on match day.
"His stature and composure on the rugby field will be invaluable to us in a game that could offer us such high rewards.
"We are within touching distance of a place in the Rugby World Cup quarter-finals, we need to respect what Fiji offer and maintain our focus and our professionalism throughout and there is no reason why we cannot come away with a win."

Occupy The Hood Answers Its Critics
Jasiri X and Malik Rhasaan of Occupy the Hood at Occupy Wall St(Photo by Paradise Gray)
It's hard to believe Occupy the Hood is just a little more than 3 months old. Inspired by Occupy Wall St, Malik Rhasaan and Ife Johari formed Occupy the Hood to make sure issues specific to the Black community were not overlooked. In the subsequent media firestorm Occupy the Hood was featured on sites as diverse as CNN and WorldstarHipHop and was highlighted in Time Magazine's 2011 Person of the Year, "The Protester". But, with attention comes haters, some upset that Occupy the Hood is getting the recognition they feel they deserve, some afraid they may lose their funding to Occupy the Hood, and some who feel because they haven't personally co signed Malik and Ife they're not "legitimate" leadership.
In this interview Malik Rhasaan breaks down the origin of Occupy the Hood and takes on their critics and detractors.

|The Game Story:
|STATE COLLEGE, Pa; April 15, 2008 - The Penn State Nittany Lion lacrosse team used a late-game flurry to stun No. 9 Bucknell 8-7 tonight, under the lights at Jeffrey Field in State College. Junior goalie Drew Adams (Springfield, Pa.) sparked Penn State with his first career goal and notched 14 saves to lead the Nittany Lions. Chris Mulqueen (Downingtown, Pa.) scored the game winning goal with 1:34 to play to lift Penn State to the victory.
While Adams thrilled the crowd with his third period goal thrilled the crowd, it was his defense in front of the net that kept Penn State close. Adams consistently kept Bucknell from breaking open the game with saves and outstanding clearing passes. The Penn State midfield and defense came up big as well, forcing Bucknell into two failed clears late in the game that led to Penn State's winning goals.
Penn State came out as the aggressor early on, reeling off seven shots to Bucknell's one in the first five minutes. But the Nittany Lions were off target on their early shots and it was Bucknell that scored first. Bucknell's Tim Brandau scored off a Joe Mele assist at the 5:03 mark to give the ninth-ranked Bison an early 1-0 lead. But Penn State answered back quickly, taking advantage of a Bison penalty to get a man-up goal from Andrew Mackrides (Newtown Square, Pa.) at the 3:52 mark to tie the game. Penn State took a 2-1 lead at the 1:25 mark when Charley Henneghan (Beverly Hills, Mich.) scored in front of the BU net with 1:25 left. The Nittany Lions carried that lead into the second period.
Bucknell tied the game early in the second period, getting a man-up goal from Mike Danylyshyn with 13:24 left in the period. The Bison then took a lead two minutes later when Brandau scored again with 11:19 left. Penn State was hit with a major penalty for slashing as that goal was scored, giving the Bison a quick man-up opportunity right off the face off. But Penn State goalie Adams intercepted a tight pass in front of the net to help Penn State kill the penalty and mount an attack of its own. But Penn State's offense was stifled but the Bison defense and Bucknell maintained its 3-2 lead until the half nearly ended. The final :75 seconds of the first half featured a furious scoring flurry. Bucknell moved out to a 4-2 lead with an Austin Winter goal at the 1:15 mark. Penn State answered right back when Henneghan, after winning the ensuing face-off, raced down the field and scored with 1:09 left, cutting the Bison lead to 4-3. But Bucknell got the next score just seconds later with Winter scoring again, this time off a Rick Carolan assist with 0:53 left in the half.
Penn State got the first goal of the second half when Matt Loy (Somerset, N.J.) took a Max VanArsdale (Rochester, N.Y.) pass and found the back of the net just three minutes into the third period, cutting Bucknell's lead to 5-4. But BU answered right back, with Ryan Klipstein scoring off a Brandau assist at the 8:51 mark to push BU back up by two, 6-4. Both defenses stiffened over the bulk of the third period until Nittany Lion goalie Adams took advantage of a lapse in the Bison defense. The All-ECAC keeper saw an opening and tossed the ball from in front of his own net over the Bison defense and straight into the goal, getting his first career goal. The score, at the 0:49 mark, cut Bucknell's lead to 6-5 heading into the final period.
The fourth period began with Penn State maintaining possession for nearly five minutes, getting off numerous shots but not able to get the ball past Bucknell goalie Nick Sciubba. But the persistent Nittany Lions finally broke through when Rob Forster (Jenkintown, Pa.) scored an unassisted goal from up close with 6:47 left in the game, tying the score at 6-6. The tie was broken by Bucknell, however, when Danylyshyn scored an unassisted goal with 4:53 left, giving BU a 7-6 lead with under 5:00 to play in the game. But Penn State's defense came up big, stopping consecutive Bucknell clears to storm back and take an 8-7 lead. First, Mackrides picked up a ground ball at midfield on a failed BU clear and quickly saw an opening as the Bison goalie had come forward. Mackrides fired a bullet dead-center into the goal to tie the game with 2:05 left to play. Penn State then took advantage of another failed Bison clear. This time, Mulqueen scored off a VanArsdale assist to give Penn State an 8-7 lead with just 1:34 left to play. Bucknell had one last big chance to score, getting a minor man-up chance at the :42 mark. But the Nittany Lion defense, sparked by a Matt Bernier (Drexel Hill, Pa.) ground ball, killed the penalty. The Bison had one last chance to score when Landau was a mere two feet in front of Adams and fired a point-blank shot to try and tie the game. But the stand-out Lion goalie made the stellar save to secure the 8-7 win.
The win was the 300th career head coaching victory for Nittany Lion mentor Glenn Thiel. Thiel is now 300-203 in his 41st year as a head coach. He is 223-167 in his 31st year at Penn State. Mackrides and Henneghan each had two goals for Penn State while VanArsdale had two assists. Landau led Bucknell with two goals and an assist. Bucknell goalie Nick Sciubba had 13 saves. Penn State out-shot BU 34-30, with each team having 21 shots on goal. The Nittany Lions had a 35-24 edge in ground balls and won 12 of 19 face-offs.
Penn State is now 5-6 overall, 1-4 in the ECAC. Bucknell is now 9-3. The Nittany Lions will host Rutgers in an ECAC tilt on Sunday at 1p.m. at Jeffrey Field.

Sound Advice For Combat, Life and Business, Courtesy Of The US Military
Athe airport the other day, I stood next to two young military recruits and their father. The recruits, dressed in fatigues, looked to be barely out of high school. I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but since we were all cramped together in the boarding area, it was kind of hard not to hear their conversation.
As the recruits pinched each other to see which one would flinch first, their father, also wearing fatigues, gave them advice I found just as appropriate for military engagement, as it is for life and business. Here's what he said:
"Leave your bad attitudes here." As he said this, he pointed directly to the spot on the floor where his feet were. He told them that, as their father, he would temporarily hold onto their attitudes so they could succeed in camp. He said they would come back from basic training changed men, and that whether or not they changed for the better depended on what they did with their bad attitudes. If they left them with their father, they would change for the better. If they took them on the plane, they would change for the worse, and what's more, they'd make their training even more miserable.
"Listen well." He told them to pay attention to what they were being asked to do, and to do exactly what was asked of them — no less and no more. He said that listening well was half the battle of getting through training.
"Respect others, and think of them first." The father told his sons that all people, even military leaders, want is to be respected. Listening and respecting orders would show for the men and women they would be serving under. He told them that if they ever needed help in the military ("and you will need help, I 'gayantee' 'dat"), but had not shown respect, they would get no help.
"You will be accountable." He ended his short message by telling his sons that they would be held accountable to God for the things they did, said and thought as they served their country. He was adamant that nothing they did would be done in secret, even if it seemed that way, and that there would be an accounting for every choice they made, both in training and in combat.
It was sobering advice, applicable I think not only to military service, but also to service in life and as a business owner.
The father's sons boarded the plane before me, and I heard him sniffle. Since I was standing next to him (and I'm sure he knew I heard every word he said anyway), I just had to say something. I apologized for my eavesdropping, but told him that the message he gave his children was timeless. I thanked him that I got a chance to hear it, and told him that if every son and daughter entering the military got the same talk his sons got, our nation would be served well. He took a deep breath, shook my hand and walked away.

Will I lose my home if I file chapter 13 Bankruptcy? A reader, "V," asked me this question recently. Here's a copy of her e-mail:
I might have to file "BK." I have four credit cards in default. I am on disability and have no earned income but at least my house is paid for. Will I lose my house if I decide to file "BK"?
Disclaimer: I'm not an attorney and V really should consult with an attorney before making any decision.
With that out of the way, here's my take:
First, no – V probably won't lose her home if she files for chapter 13 Bankruptcy. The difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 is that chapter 13 is a "work out" plan. It is a process by which creditors and V will work out a plan for her to pay back what she owes.
They may agree on special terms and longer payback periods. They may also agree on some debt reduction, but chapter 13 would likely NOT cost V her home.
Having said that, I don't know why V would consider chapter 13 in the first place.
Credit card debt is unsecured. That means the companies can't foreclose on her home. They could of course get a lien on her home, which would make it hard for her to sell or refinance…but that's it.
They might get a judgment against V by filing a lawsuit and then possibly foreclose. But this course of action is extremely rare and risky for them.
Another option they have is to try to garnish V's wages, but since she's on disability I don't think many judges would grant them the order. A credit card company's ability to get judgments and to garnish your wages is controlled by state law, so V should look into what her state's provisions are.
If V thinks the credit card companies are going to sue her, she should consult an attorney to talk about the exemption laws and how to protect herself.
Bottom line: V is probably facing some pretty nasty phone calls and letters but doesn't need to worry too much about losing her home. She probably doesn't need to worry about filing chapter 13 either, but she should make every effort possible to work out the problem with her credit card companies. At that point, she can get to work on restarting her financial life using some credit builders.
What would you do in V's place?

'We'll find a way': Barron Collier band invited to play at Carnegie Hall, seeking sponsors to fund trip
Barron Collier Band Director Benny Bolden Jr. was driving when he got the call. He picked up his phone, heard the news and had to pull over.
"I remember it was last summer and I was driving and I tell you what, I had to pull over I was so excited," he said.
The call was from New York, and the caller was telling Bolden that the Barron Collier Wind Symphony had been selected to play at Carnegie Hall.
"I mean, people — professional musicians — go a lifetime and never get to perform on that stage. I cannot even tell you how excited I am to have that experience, and for my students to have that experience," Bolden said.
On March 30, 2013, the Barron Collier Wind Symphony will take the stage as part of the Carnegie Hall Festival of Music. Even more exciting, the group has been selected to close out the multi-day festival, playing last on the final Saturday of the event.
But here's the hitch: the Barron Collier Wind Symphony has no idea how they're going to get to Carnegie Hall. Sure, the obvious answer is, practice, practice, practice, but in reality, getting an entire band — plus the instruments — to the iconic stage takes cash. Lots of cash.
"We're estimating that it's going to cost $85,000 to get the whole Wind Symphony there," says band parent Kena Yoke. "It will cost about $1,600 per kid, and we know a lot of families don't have $1,600 to spend on a trip to New York."
The Band Boosters have launched several fundraisers to help cover the $85,000 price tag including a Cougars to Carnegie fundraising website where people can donate online. The band recently hosted a music festival at the Italian American Club and they've put on a few carwashes. What Yoke is hoping for, however, is that a few community members will step forward with bigger donations.
"You really can't sell $85,000 worth of cupcakes," she said. "There's been some great community support already, William C. Huff Companies has offered to drive all of our equipment up to New York in their moving vans and that's huge, but we need more. We're just really trying to make things happen for this very special group of kids."
And this year's band is indeed very special. Bolden said that all the kids he's worked with in his eight years of teaching music have been special, but this group is particularly hard working. He's only been at Barron Collier High School for three years, and each year he's been able to push his students to play harder and harder music.
Last year the ensemble scored a superior (the highest available) rating at the Florida Bandmasters Association State Concert Band Festival.
"That's the equivalent to the football team winning the state championship," Bolden said.
Just after the state competition, the band recorded an audition tape for the Carnegie competition, playing the same three pieces it had played at the Florida Bandmasters Association State Concert Festival.
The judges must have been impressed. Barron Collier was one of just 12 bands from across the nation selected.
But Bolden said that the hard work isn't over. Now that the band is "in," he's pushing the players to be even better.
"We're having master classes and we're working to push to that next level," he said, adding, "The students are very, very thrilled, but they know they're not just representing Barron Collier, they're representing the entire school district. As far as I know, we're the first in the county to play at Carnegie Hall."
And he says that the group is going — whether or not the funds are raised.
"Oh we'll be there. We would love to take the kids for free because the truth of the matter is that there are kids that can't afford the trip, and I'm trying not to leave any child behind. But no matter what, we'll find a way," he said confidently.

Antler wrist guards
From the Prairies or Plains, North
Before AD 1825
Wrist guards such as these are extremely rare but served a useful purpose. During archery, a bowman pulls the bow string taut then releases it to shoot the arrow, after which it slaps back, painfully catching the wrist. These bracelets may have been used by Plains people for protection, since similar items were used elsewhere in North America. One of the bands has a simple incised design along its edges. This may be purely decorative, but could also have had symbolic significance related to travelling or the hunt. The second band has an elegant scalloped edge and is engraved with a series of repeated patterns. The central line of circles, each with a triangle attached, could represent a line of tipis (Native American tents).
Both these wrist guards are made from thin, vertical strips of antler, which was (and still is) available to Plains people for a wide variety of uses. The bands were probably cut from immature antler, which is softer, and then shaped by boiling. Much of it was obtained from elk, also known as wapiti, the North American equivalent of the European red deer. The spongy interior of the antler absorbs pigment well, so could be used for creating paint-brush-like instruments for applying colour. At the time of European contact, antler was also used to make clubs, comb-like instruments and scrapers for the preparation of skin.
These wrist guards were brought to England by Brian Mullanphy in 1825, although the substantial wear on the insides of both suggests that they were made long before.

Practicum Teachers"
Tips from Experienced ECEC 3190 Practicum Teachers Fall 2002
from Haley Jones
You should go into the elementary class room ready to work. Let your mentor teacher know that you are willing to do (or at least try) anything she needs. Establish a comfortable relationship by talking with your teacher and asking questions. Right away, you should let her know that you have to complete so many lessons while you are in her class. Then she will know that there has to be a time set aside for YOU to teach. Communicate a lot to let her know you are there and ready to work.
from Maggie Tatum
See each child as a unique individual and know that children learn in many different ways. Adapt your plans with that in mine. And realize that children can sense whether you love them and teaching them or are just doing a job! -Sherry Cleveland
Being a teacher is more than a career, it is who you are! A teacher tries to gain experiences from everything he or she encounters in order to share that with those she teaches whether it is something read, seen, heard, or felt. Teaching becomes a lifestyle which grows beyond the classroom. A teacher must be willing to learn not only the material being taught but also the ones she is teaching. -Robbin Richardson
from Katrice McKinnon
from Shannon Coker
from Carla Bello
Observe and remember the techniques your mentor teacher uses to grab and hold the children's attention during a lesson or activity.
When you have your lessons evaluated by a University Professor, plan it on a day other than Monday. The children are still wound up from the weekend on Monday!
from Brandi Bostick
from Staci Cavenaugh
from Paige Southall
Prepare early for your lessons. There is often a lot of materials you may need and getting them together takes more time than you may think.
Practice reading books because you will read a lot of them to your practicum class. Probably even on your first day!
from Tamra Brice
Be prepared for all types of parents. There are some who are very supportive and are willing to communicate with your mentor teacher. There are others that believe that their child is a sweet, innocent angel that can do no wrong while in reality the student may act like a little devil. There are even parents who seem to not even exist in their child's life. The key with parents is to communicate. It is also very wise to keep documentation of the student's disciplinary actions. Most parents are pretty helpful, but remember to always expect the unexpected!
from Erin Roberts
Get to know two very important people fast. The lunchroom lady (the one that sits at the computer) and the janitor. They are usually very approachable and helpful. They hold a lot of information you need to know. I have enjoyed many helpful and useful conversations.
Imitate commands. If the children see you doing it, they will too. No matter how silly you feel walking the halls with your finger on your lip and your hand on your hip, just do it.
Learn the children's names the first day. The teacher will be impressed and the kid's will be thrilled. (Don't get your feelings hurt if they don't remember yours for the first few days. It takes them a little while.)
Don't put them in the swings at recess. You will want to, but resist the urge to help in this area. If you do it for one, you have to do it for the whole class. (Some kids are not as small and light as you think they are.) They will expect you to do it everyday from then on. And then you have teach them how to swing, because you can't push everyone!
from Kandice Hersey
from Faith Wolfe
Never schedule an evaluation for first thing Monday morning with Kindergarten students--especially following three days with a substitute, two holidays and four weekend days.
Follow the mentor teacher's advice every time while you are a guest in her room. Do not try to change her opinion.
Know the classroom rules, procedures and consequences for violating the rules so that you can model, explain and enforce them all.
Offer to help your mentor teacher with anything she needs.
Notice things that need to be handled, such as glue on desks, trash on floor, and papers to collect.
Prepare your lesson materials well ahead of the day you plan to teach the lesson.
Ask your mentor teacher about anything you do not understand. That's why you're there--to learn!
Organize your practicum assignments and start working on them early.
Don't complain about being tired. If you think you're tired now, wait until you are doing this job on your own all day, every day for an entire school year.
Be flexible. Children and life are unpredictable. Go with the flow and don't let changes bother you. See changes as challenges and opportunities to approach teaching from a different direction.
Document everything. You will have to do it when you are a teacher. It will be good practice to do it now. You will be amazed just how quickly you can forget so much.
Remember the ultimate goal is to make a difference in the life of a child.
from Rebekah Ford
No two kids are alike. You will be in a classroom full of individuals with different wants and needs.
Listen to the students and try to think on their level from time to time. You will understand them better.
Have lots of patience. After all, they are just kids.
Don't be too hard on the students. That way they don't get discouraged before they even get started.
Most importantly, have fun. If the students see you having fun teaching the lesson then they will have fun learning it.
from Patti Dean
Try to learn your students' names quickly, which makes a great impression. This is more impressive to the younger students.
Give your mentor teacher a list you have made of things that you need to accomplish during the semester. She may be able to give you some great ideas which will make your stress level much less.
panic----things could be a lot worse!!!! Just remember your goal
of being a teacher and that you are on the downhill slide!
from Jennifer Wilkinson
from Shana Sinclair
Try to block out any negative backbitting, that you may hear, and realize that it is not professional.
from Amanda Jones
Go into the classroom with an open mind and be ready to learn.
Take advice from your teacher (but be careful with what you do with that advice). Be ready to take criticism (it will be a great learning experience).
Let you mentor teacher know that you are ready to help her in anyway possible, but be firm about not being her paper girl (you are in the classroom to learn not run errands).
Make a note-card for your very first lesson (you never know just how nervous you will be).
Make sure that you leave at the end of the semester with one extra friend.
Enjoy the time that you get to spend with the children (soon you will be the one running around with your head cut off)!
from Casey Ellison
Be Postivie.
Get a lot of rest.
Remember this is your choice, this is your future life, do you still want to be here. If not get out.
from Megan Harper
Write down your ideas. When you see something or think of something you would like to use in your own classroom, write it down because you'll forget it if you don't. Some of those ideas can be very helpful later on.
Do not be afraid to correct children when they are doing wrong. If you don't let them know that you can discipline them, they will run all over you!
from Leah Jordan
Don't be afraid to ask questions. That is the only way you will learn.
Get up
and volunteer in the classroom. Don't let the teacher have to find
you something to do.

Evolutionary origins of ψND5 elements. Intraspecific phylogeny of C. briggsae natural isolates based on neighbor-joining analysis of mtDNA sequences is shown. Neighbor-joining and maximum parsimony analyses of nearly complete mtDNA sequences yielded trees with identical topologies. GL indicates the global intraspecific C. briggsae superclade; KE indicates the Kenya clade; TE and TR indicate the temperate and tropical subclades of GL, respectively. Bootstrap support of 100% for both analysis approaches was observed for all selected nodes indicated by asterisks – for the node supporting monophyly of C. briggsae and Caenorhabditis sp. n. 5, neighbor-joining values are on top of maximum parsimony values. The scale bar represents 0.01 substitutions per site. Bolts indicate branches where ψND5 elements are predicted to have originated based on the phylogeny and the presence of ψND5-1 and ψND5-2 in specific Caenorhabditis species and strains. The distributions of isolates into temperate and tropical clades in our analyses were consistent with their distributions based on previous analyses of nuclear loci [17].
