NEW YORK-- On Thanksgiving Eve, people from South America, the Caribbean and Africa poured in from the rain to the damp smell of offal at La Granja, a live poultry market in West Harlem.
Instead of buying organic turkeys at Whole Foods or Fairway nearby, these last-minute shoppers relived a simple ritual started in their home countries.
They were taking a moment to pick out what would become Thanksgiving dinner. Some arrived at La Granja, which means the farm in Spanish, with family members to help chose the right chicken, turkey or guinea fowl for the special occasion.
"Who wants a frozen bird?" asked Luis Jara, a native of Ecuador. "Back home I would step out of my house, grab a turkey or a chicken, and slaughter it right there on the spot."
La Granja market, also known as a vivero in Spanish, started the day with more than 200 turkeys. "I thought it was going to be slow, but people came out," said one slaughterhouse worker.
"You got turkeys?" asked a native of West Africa, rushing after leaving his Yellow Cab parked illegally outside. "I need one."
"Take your pick," said the worker, pointing at the remaining birds. "Only three left." The turkeys retreated behind a wall of hen-filled metal cages as if aware of the fate that awaited them.
Julio Chabla, 30, a building superintendent in Harlem, spent $33 on a 15-pound turkey. He planned a small holiday gathering with his wife Maritza Landy, their three-year-old son and Landy's father.
"We used to invite family and friends as well as my father," Chabla said. "But we don't have the money now for more."
But Chabla, a native of Ecuador who has lived in New York for a dozen years, said the couple had much to be thankful for.
"We have each other," he said. "We're healthy. We're thankful to this country for giving us work and the chance to earn a living."
Landy said she too was grateful despite not having a job for nearly a year. She had worked for four years at a beauty salon on Manhattan's Upper West Side, sweeping and mopping the floors, washing and folding towels. It was one of the first places where she felt discrimination in her adopted country.
"They wouldn't let me shampoo the hair of the clients," she said. "They didn't want me touching people. Sometimes they needed help and I would offer myself, but they preferred to keep the people waiting. They'd say, 'Don't touch the clients, please.' "
This Thanksgiving, Landy said, she was "grateful to God for keeping me here. I may not be well off economically, but I'm with my son and my husband. I have friends."
The boy, Bradley, slept in a stroller, with a sheet of plastic draped over it to keep the rain out.
"We saw a movie with a mischievous child named Bradley," she said. "We liked the name. American people always ask, 'Why Bradley? That's an American, not a Hispanic, name. I say, 'Yes, it's an American name.' "
By nightfall, Luis Jara and his family had nabbed the last turkey at La Granja, a feisty 14-pound bird that set him back $32.
After weighing the turkey, a vivero worker in a black apron carried the bird to a back room, where it was killed, plucked and trimmed.
A woman nearby pulled out her cell phone, dialed and spoke in Haitian Creole.
"Forget it," she lamented, stepping outside into the cold, rainy night. "They're out of turkeys. I'm going to the supermarket."
Jara said he wasn't surprised that the turkeys were gone, even in hard economic times.
"For the holidays, people find the money," he said. "Now Christmas is coming. You put together money from here and there. You have a little dinner. You always do something."
Asked what he did for a living, Jara, in his 50s, said he drove a delivery truck.
"I deliver The New York Times," he added proudly. A vivero worker handed Jara a dark-blue plastic bag with his freshly slaughtered turkey, a small ritual that for the moment, at least, seemed to ease the hardness of life in America.
"You make sacrifices and you celebrate," he said. "Thanksgiving comes once a year. The rest of the year you work."

Retinoblastoma is a rare cancer of the retina (the innermost layer of the eye, located at the back of the eye, that receives light and images necessary for vision). About 300 children will be diagnosed with retinoblastoma this year. It accounts for 3 percent of childhood cancers. Nearly all children with retinoblastoma can be cured of the disease if it has been diagnosed early enough, and 90 percent will have normal vision in at least one eye after treatment.
Retinoblastoma occurs due to mutations in a tumor suppressor gene (called RB1) located on chromosome #13. Two mutations (or gene changes) are necessary to "knock-out" this gene, and cause uncontrolled cell growth. In inherited retinoblastoma (40 percent of the cases), the first mutation is inherited from a parent, while the second occurs during the development of the retina. In sporadic retinoblastoma (60 percent of the cases), both mutations occur during development of the retina. Sporadic means occurs by chance. Alterations in the RB1 gene have also been found in other tumors, including osteosarcoma and breast cancer.
Most children with inherited retinoblastoma have tumors involving both eyes. Consider the following statistics:
60 percent to 75 percent of retinoblastoma cases involve one eye (unilateral), and the majority of these are not inherited.
25 percent of retinoblastoma cases are bilateral (both eyes) and hereditary.
15 percent of retinoblastoma cases are unilateral (one eye) and hereditary.
Any individual with a positive family history of retinoblastoma may want to seek genetic counseling to identify the specific risks of passing the gene or disease to their children.
The following are the most common symptoms of retinoblastoma. However, each child may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
Leukocoria. A white light reflex that occurs at certain angles when a light is shined into the pupil.
Strabismus (also called wandering eye or lazy-eye). A misalignment of the eyes; when one or both eyes do not appear to be "looking" in the same direction.
Pain or redness around, and swelling of the eye(s)
Poor vision or change in child's vision
Often the symptoms may not appear if the disease is diagnosed early. The symptoms of retinoblastoma may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Always consult your child's doctor for a diagnosis.
In addition to a complete medical and physical examination, diagnostic procedures for retinoblastoma may include:
Complete eye examination and medical history
Funduscopic examination. With the child under anesthesia, the pupils are dilated so the entire retina can be viewed and examined.
Ultrasound exam of the eye. This is one of the most commonly used tests to confirm diagnosis, using sound waves to create images of tissues.
Computed tomography scan (also called a CT or CAT scan). A diagnostic imaging procedure that uses a combination of x-rays and computer technology to produce horizontal, or axial, images (often called slices) of the body. A CT scan shows detailed images of any part of the body, including the bones, muscles, fat, and organs. CT scans are more detailed than general X-rays.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A diagnostic procedure that uses a combination of large magnets, radiofrequencies, and a computer to produce detailed images of organs and structures within the body without the use of X-rays.
Lumbar puncture (spinal tap)
Blood tests
Genetic and/or DNA testing
A diagnosis may be made before symptoms are present. If a family history is positive for retinoblastoma, frequent eye examinations may be necessary at many stages of the child's development to determine the presence of any tumor. When retinoblastoma is diagnosed, tests will be performed to determine the size of the tumor, and if the tumors have spread to the other parts of the body. This is called staging and is an important step toward planning a treatment program.
There are various staging systems that can be used for retinoblastoma. Always consult your child's physician for more information on staging.
The newest staging method is called The International Classification for Intraocular Retinoblastoma and it groups tumors into five categories--groups A through E--based on the likelihood of saving the eye.
The more traditional method of staging is the Reese-Ellsworth stages of retinoblastoma (this staging system is only for tumors that have not spread beyond the eye):
Group I. One or more tumors that are less than 4 disc diameters (DD) in size and are all located at or behind the equator*.
Group II. Either one or more tumors that are 4 to 10 DD in size located at or behind the equator.
Group III. Any lesion in front of the equator or one tumor larger than 10 DD behind the equator.
Group IV. Multiple tumors with some or all greater than 10 DD in size, or any lesions that extend forward to the ora serrata (front edge of the retina).
Group V. Very large tumors involving more than half of the retina or that have spread into the vitreous (the gelatinous material that fills the eye).
*The "equator" is an imaginary line that divides the eye into two equal parts: a front half and a back half.
Specific treatment for retinoblastoma will be determined by your child's doctor based on:
Your child's age, health, and medical history
Extent of the disease
Your child's tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies
Expectations for the course of the disease
Your opinion or preference
The primary goal of treatment is to remove the tumor and prevent metastasis (spreading) of the cancer to other parts of the body.
Treatment may include one or more of the following:
Enucleation (surgical removal of the eye or eyes involved with the tumor)
Radiation therapy
Laser therapy or photocoagulation
Thermal therapy
Cryotherapy (uses a freezing process to destroy the tumor)
Prognosis greatly depends on the following:
The extent of the disease
The size and location of the tumor
Presence or absence of metastasis
The tumor's response to therapy
The age and overall health of your child
Your child's tolerance of specific medications, procedures, or therapies
New developments in treatment
As with any cancer, prognosis and long-term survival can vary greatly from child to child. Every child is unique and treatment and prognosis is structured around the child's needs. Prompt medical attention and aggressive therapy are important for the best prognosis.
Continuous follow-up care is essential for a child diagnosed with retinoblastoma. In hereditary retinoblastoma, new tumors may form in either eye until the child is 3 to 4 years old. Children will need very close follow-up by an ophthalmologist. Children with hereditary retinoblastoma and those treated with some chemotherapies, radiation therapies, and some other therapies, are at higher risk for new cancers later in life and should have regular medical and eye exams.

Viral rebound?
National | Rising HIV infection rates in some of America's biggest cities worry AIDS researchers
Mourners, activists, and ordinary citizens on Oct. 7 draped the Capitol Mall with a gigantic red ribbon-a ribbon made of human beings wearing red ponchos and marching in Washington, D.C.'s annual AIDS Walk. Other events across the country also marked National AIDS Awareness month and raised lots of money. In San Diego, AIDS Walk participants raised a record $701,000.
It appears that those fighting AIDS/HIV are going to need the money. Reports by the Centers for Disease Control, the Institutes of Medicine, and at least one metropolitan public health department show that HIV infection rates are once again on the rise. Researchers blame the viral resurgence on waning adherence to the "safer-sex" ethic, the failure of condom-centric HIV prevention efforts, and the breakdown of previously effective drug regimens. They also are worried: With a fresh wave of the virus percolating through major urban areas, a second wave of AIDS may not be far behind.
A spike in HIV infection rates in San Francisco was among the first red flags. This summer researchers there discovered that the rate of new infections among male homosexuals had nearly tripled since 1997. This finding accompanied other disturbing trends among homosexual men, including a falling rate of consistent condom use (from 70 percent to 54 percent), a higher incidence of rectal gonorrhea, and a return to high-risk, multi-partner sexual behavior.
"I think there's a sense that the drugs have taken care of the problem," said Tom Coates, director of the AIDS Research Institute at the University of California at San Francisco. "Second, I think people believe the disease is slowing." San Francisco has generally been "ground zero" for AIDS/HIV trends, so experts worry that the city's rising infection rate is a blood-borne bellwether for the entire country.
"We think there needs to be a wake-up call for the rest of the nation," said Dr. Ronald Valdiserri, deputy director of the National Center for HIV, STD and TB Prevention at the CDC. "Obviously, we want to be careful about extrapolating what's happening in one city. But the CDC considers this a very important finding."
Since the virus was first identified, America's cities have acted as its primary incubators. In the mid-1980s the disease struck like an urban cobra, killing first in San Francisco, Miami, and New York-all homosexual meccas. Then it slithered out across the rest of the country, cutting an epic trail of death. As of 1999, AIDS has killed 430,411 people in the United States-nearly as many as live in the entire state of Wyoming. The cities still are hotbeds: Last year, 10 cities (New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Miami, Washington, D.C., Chicago, Houston, Philadelphia, Newark, and Atlanta) accounted for nearly half of cumulative reported AIDS cases.
Several cities may be seeing the leading edge of a new viral wave. CDC researchers administered HIV tests to 3,492 homosexual men between the ages of 15 and 22 in Baltimore, Dallas, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, San Francisco, and Seattle. The results, released this summer, were grim: On average, 7 percent of those tested were HIV-positive. In New York, 12.1 percent-or more than one in 10 homosexual men-were infected, a level some researchers compare with the infection rates currently raging through Africa.
In the mid-1990s AIDS fighters were optimistic. Though the number of new AIDS cases rocketed upward during the first decade of the epidemic, rising by between 65 and 90 percent annually, by 1996 the graph line was diving. Aided by HIV prevention efforts and medical breakthroughs such as the complex, multi-drug regimens called "cocktail therapies," both new AIDS cases and AIDS-related deaths fell through 1997.
Since then, the statistical nose dive has leveled out. CDC analysts now believe earlier HIV prevention efforts may only have had a stopgap effect: Those most predisposed to treatment-such as older, homosexual males caught in the first AIDS epidemic-have already been reached. But many of today's
at-risk populations, like the urban poor, are hard to reach with either educational efforts or early testing and treatment. In addition, some patients have difficulty adhering to expensive and often laborious drug therapies. And therapies that once seemed to be working are now fizzling in the face of a virus that Margaret Chesney calls "cunning."
"At first it appeared that these (drug therapies) could block the virus's replication process," said Ms. Chesney, co-director of the Center for AIDS Prevention Studies at the University of California, San Francisco. "Eventually the level of the live virus in the system would decline. The hope was that the decline would lead to eradication. That hasn't happened." Instead, she explained, the drugs work temporarily, but even after a patient's blood tests show no trace of HIV, the virus "breaks out" and begins to replicate anew. The new incarnation is stronger than before, sometimes even invincible from the standpoint of current treatment technologies.
The virus is taking a disproportionate toll on minority communities, due in part to higher use of intravenous drugs. Together, blacks and Hispanics accounted for 66 percent of all new AIDS cases in 1999. Three times as many Hispanics as whites contracted the disease last year, as did eight times as many blacks. AIDS remains the leading cause of death among blacks between the ages of 25 and 44. Last December in Houston, city officials declared a state of emergency and issued a call to action to slow the rising rate of infection by injection among blacks.
According to a report issued by the Baltimore City Health Department, approximately 18,000 residents of that city are believed to be living with HIV. According to researchers at Baltimore's Institute for Human Virology (IHV), HIV and AIDS are ravaging three zip codes in the city. IHV behavioral psychologist Lydia Temoshok says one older African-American man she counsels at a city AIDS clinic characterized the impact of AIDS on his neighborhood this way: "All my friends are dead."
That was a phrase commonly spoken by homosexual men in the mid-1980s and early 1990s as the virus bloomed into full-blown AIDS and struck down thousands of people, most of them in their 20s and 30s. But Ms. Temoshok, who has studied the epidemic since 1981, fears that more urban African-Americans could soon be repeating the mantra. She reports counseling many in Baltimore who are newly infected with a strain of the virus that is immune to current medication. "We're still 10 years away from developing new medications," she said. "That's plenty of time to develop full-blown AIDS. These are people who don't have access to preventive medical care." Many are injection drug-users and live in poverty.
Some researchers and activists fear that it is the sputtering HIV prevention message, already one-dimensional in its advocacy of condoms as a cure-all, that may give rise to a new wave of death. AIDS activist Cleve Jones said "public education campaigns have slackened because we're not seeing people dying like we did in the '80s and early '90s. We forget that every year there's a whole new class of high-school kids going out into the world. We need to maintain these messages."
In the seven-city CDC study, 41 percent of homosexual males reported that they did not wear a condom during sex. "We're talking of men who are just becoming ... acculturated into the gay social scene," John Hylton of the Johns Hopkins University School of Hygiene and Public Health told The Washington Times. The CDC researchers concluded: "Considering their youth, the high prevalence of unsafe sex and the high HIV prevalence in those tested, many of the HIV-negative men are likely to become HIV-infected in the near future."

It looks like a product may have many different URLs in Shopify. For example, a product that is part of two collections (say, "Televisions" and "LCD TVs") will have two different URLs, depending on how the user arrives at it. This poses problems for SEO, since search engines will penalize you for having duplicate content on your site. It also makes it harder to advertise products and track results, since you'd have to combine stats from all URLs of that product. Is there a way around this? Can we "force" products to have only one official URL?
If you use a canonical URL, you will not have this problem. By using that simple Liquid construct:
Your product will always be indexed with one URL and no silly penalties.

DENVER - The Coast Guard Auxiliary puts it this way:
"Even the most experienced boater needs a safety check."
Division 26 of the auxiliary, based in Denver, recommends that all recreational boaters, including personal watercraft and paddle sport users, take advantage of their free Vessel Safety Check program.
"The Coast Guard Auxiliary objective with Vessel Exams is to make Lake Norman a safe and fun place for our boaters and their families. There is and always will be unexpected problems, but by having a Vessel Exam, we can help prevent some of these issues," said Sandra Stewart, CGA division commander.
To arrange for a check, contact the Lake Norman area CGA www.cgadivision26.org or call 828-478-4459. The checks usually take less than an hour.
Non-compliance or missing items will result in a citation or a written report from Coast Guard inspectors or local police water patrols. After a successful check, owners receive a VSC decal certifying compliance with state and federal laws.
The following items are included in the CGA's vessel inspection:
- Registration number on boat with proper spacing
- Registration certificate on board
- Working navigation lights
- Three current day and night flares
- Wearable and throwable life preservers
- Distress flag (boats 18 foot or longer)
- Sound producing devices - whistle, horn or siren- capable of a four-second blast audible for a minimum of one-half mile.
- Boats larger than 39.4 feet are required to have a bell
- Pollution placard and trash placard for boats over 26 foot.
- Working fire extinguishers
- Proper ventilation and working blowers
- Backfire flame arrestor for gasoline engines
- An anchor with sufficient line
- Oars or paddles with boats under 16 foot
- Working bilge pumps
- Covered battery terminals in good condition
- Boats over 39.4 foot must carry current copy of Navigation Rules
There are three active Coast Guard Auxiliary flotillas - Division 26 - in the Lake Norman area – 26-1 Lake Norman, 26-3 Davidson and 26-4 Lake Norman West.

The piston mechanism is used to convert between rotary motion and reciprocating motion, it works either way. Driving the wheel will move the piston back and forth, in this form the piston can be used to pump liquids for example creating the high pressure need in a good coffee machine.
Alternatively the piston can be driven back and forth commonly by steam (in a steam engine) or flame (in a petrol engine). In this form the piston is used to convert reciprocating motion into more useful and usable rotary motion.
Notice how the speed of the piston changes. The piston starts from one end, and increases its speed. It reaches maximum speed in the middle of its travel then gradually slows down until it reaches the end of its travel.
You can download and make your own working piston mechanism here and find out how it works first hand.
I created this animation using Adobe Edge. Edge is a new tool for creating HTML 5 animations - much more standards compliant than Flash. It is currently a free download from Adobe LabsI have put the animation up without a Flash alternative to see how it goes. I'd be grateful to hear feedback about if it works for you. If possible please could you also let me know your operating system and browser.
Thanks!(Just to be clear, there should be an animation showing a piston working just above the picture of the crank mechanism project)

I don' believe the client wants a key, so I'm trying to figure out a way to apply those smaller labels without them leaning at odd angles and curves. Sharing what I already have in the meantime.
The first sketch is the turnover I received from the boss.
The second image is my initial rough, with the roads and builds established.
The final image is Ajinan as it stands now, with the tags that make me crazy to look at..
Any feedback is appreciated.

Patient Testimonials and Success Stories
We are proud of the quality patient care we provide. We are honored that patients and their families have written the following letters to us, acknowledging what sets Regional Hospital apart.
Dear Regional Hospital Staff,
I can't thank you enough for all that you did for me and my family. You lifted a huge burden off my shoulders during this difficult time.
I would like your staff to know how much we appreciated the care you gave our father. I felt at ease knowing when one of us wasn't with him, he was in good hands of caring people. I'd come visit him in the early morning hours and stay until another family member could come later in the afternoon. The night and day shift staff were so kind and never hesitated to ask if they could get me something or do anything for me. Everyone was so gentle and considerate. They turned his frail body every three hours to avoid bed sores. He was cleaned and shaved every morning. Every person that came into contact with him was very compassionate and caring. They always explained to him what they were doing, even when he was unconscious. They showed so much respect for him. That is something people do from their heart and cannot be forced. The staff truly cares for the patients and their families. They do put the patients first, such a rare aptitude now a days.
Thank you Regional Hospital staff for being so thoughtful and considerate to my father. You can guarantee I'll be recommending this hospital to family and friends.
Dee Baker — Daughter of Patient
Take a bow Regional Hospital Team! Our adult son was a patient at Regional for over two months and received the most outstanding care. We have been involved with top Bay Area hospitals and those in the Seattle area, but have never participated with a team of such great caliber, compassion and follow through. This team concept also included weekly meetings with each care unit represented and the family was always welcome to attend. This allowed us to be completely informed and also had opportunities to interact with those caring for our son.
This healing environment made all the difference in the positive outcome our son experienced. Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts.

Seeking suggestions for a 32" Sony TV (22lbs) wall mount that will tilt/swivel. I do not need a ton of range but being able to move within around 90 degrees would be nice. Will be anchoring into wall studs.
Looks like I can spend anywhere from $60 to a lot. I have another TV on a "regular" wall mount but do not have much experience with the titl/swivels - thanks for any suggestions.
i bought all 3 of mine on Monoprice. they work great! they have all kinds of wallmounts
Wall Mount Brackets
i like to over buy on pound ratings for extensions/swivel mounts.
This post is pending approval of site sponsors.
+1 on Monoprice.
Bought a fully articulating mount for a 50" plasma. Extremely heavy duty. Paid about a quarter of the wal-mart price.
Thanks for the site. Looks like I CAN afford a wall mount.

Bungalow 5: 2011 Collections & Aphrochic's New Textiles
Store Profile
- Location: New York, New York
- Website: bungalow5.com
Store History
- Headquarters: New York, New York
The Bungalow 5 collections are designed and produced by a group of architects and designers who are based in New York City but who work on projects throughout the world. Working with in-house cabinetmakers and finishers, the Bungalow 5 team produces unique and stylish pieces often using unusual materials sourced from distant places. While our designs are heavily influenced by both Eastern and Western classical archetypes, they are informed by a modern sensibility to silhouette, material, and color; and possess a versatility which allows them to slip as comfortably into a traditional room as a modern loft or sunroom. The hallmark of a Bungalow 5 piece is that it always feels comfortably familiar yet strikingly fresh.
In the middle of all the ICFF madness yesterday, we ran up to Bungalow 5's Manhattan showroom at 251 West 30th Street to check out their new collections and meet up with Jeanine Hays of Aphrochic, who's showing her pillows and table linens this month in the store. This was our first visit to the showroom, an inspiring space full of pretty patterns and glam furnishings.
Turquoise and gray are the colors of the moment at Bungalow 5, and there are lots of new mirrored finishes in the Marie and Piedmont collections. Also in style is a white lacquered grasscloth finish that's easy to wipe clean — look for it in the Valentina collection of case goods and occasional tables.
Jeanine Hays is collaborating with Bungalow 5 to showcase her Brooklyn Renaissance collection — we saw several of her signature diamond-patterned pillows and table runners, as well as a new Brooklyn Life line that Jeanine describes as her contemporary take on toile. Working with a watercolor artist, Jeanine created toile-like patterns that reference life in Park Slope and Clinton Hill, rather than the French countryside you usually see in traditional toile.
Bungalow 5 products are available to the trade through their showroom and to retail customers through Layla Grace. Aphrochic products are available online.

We are playing the Rangers, now isnt the time for Yogi Berra (a Yankee great) quotes.
Supporting the Yankees by quoting Yogi Berra is supporting the Rangers.
Much like how supporting GSP is supporting the Habs.
Also: (while I'm at it): No Molson's/LaBatts when we are playing a Canadian team. (They are allowed when we playing the Rangers). Samuel Adams is preferred; however, if its not to your tastes, please refrain from any Canadian beer (when we are playing a Canadian team).
In 2009, I was at a house party in Providence , when an ole chant broke out. I slapped the beer out of every single one of their hands, then walked home. Still catch grief over that.

A newspaper chain in the east delayed production by several hours for the second time this week.
Officials with Freedom ENC which owns newspapers in New Bern, Jacksonville, and Kinston blame the delay on a new software used in conjunction with the papers' new format. On Monday, production was delayed by about 4 hours and Wednesday delivery was only pushed back by about 2 hours. The new compact edition debuted on Monday.
Officials with Freedom ENC say that during the production delays, full access to their online papers was given to all non subscribers. They've also had staff members delivering complimentary papers for feedback on the new format.

A personality test is a psychological test for the measurement of personality characteristics. Contrary to performance inspections, which measure the cognitive efficiency, it goes into personality tests around the forecast of emotional and motivationaler aspects of the behavior into everyday life situations.
Personality tests are used development in the personnel lesson and -, in order to be able to measure the suitability of candidates. In the clinical psychology personality tests serve the better tuning of therapeutic interventions on the personality of the client. The psychological basic research uses personality tests, in order to win new realizations over inter-individual differences in experiencing and holding back.
In practice personality tests do not supply objective data over the personality of a person, but only references, who must be confirmed due to further procedures, about interviews.
As in each psychological test the test leader in a personality test provokes a rehearsing and behavior, which is noted. Testing happens under standardized conditions, i.e. that disturbing situationale influences should be if possible switched off and that the instruction is exactly prescribed. Usually answer to the rehearsing and questions to itself or to ambiguous attraction material. The collection and evaluation can manually (PAPER pencil tests) or computer-assisted happen.
Psychometri tests are differentiated from projektiven tests. Psychometri tests are questionnaires, by means of those personality characteristics pro gangs with the average values of a standard sample to be usually compared. In contrast to it the rehearsing and is asked in projektiven tests to interpret weakly structured attraction material; from the interpretation by a primarily qualitative evaluation conclusions are drawn on the personality.
As quasi-standard for psychometrische personality tests the NEO five factor inventory in the academic psychology (short form has itself: NEO-FFI and/or long form: NEO PI r) establishes. Further one, less spread tests of this kind are the TIPI (Trierer integrated personality inventory) and the HPI (Hamburg personality inventory).
Follow another logic the HAKEMP (action control after success, failure and prospektiv), a test for action and position control as well as projektive tests like e.g.: the Rorschach test or the topic tables view test. Projektive tests are still used in practice, despite insufficient test quality.

the release of its annual Consulting Prestige Rankings for 2012 and

Consulting Week, those voices are letting us know that prestige is
only a small percentage of what they look for when searching for a

understandable. If you were going to pay someone even $50,000

Whether you love it or simply love to hate it, these days there's
just no getting away from McKinsey, the world's most famous
consulting firm. While McKinsey has built its hard-earned
reputation on intelligence, savvy and a distinct sense of elitism

in 2011. Now, in the immediate wake of the damaging Rajat Gutpa

Readers of Consult THIS will be aware that Harrisburg,
Pennsylvania, the once-proud state capital now home to less than

Greensboro, NC - Three of the four apartment buildings at UNCG's Spartan Village will be ready to open August 1 despite a fire on March 14.
Mike Byers, associate chancellor at UNCG, said they expect the vacant building that had the fire to open during the fall 2013 semester - December at the latest. While the school doesn't plan to look for tenants right away, they are hopeful that the building's shell will be completed when they occupy the other three buildings.

Byers said UNCG has not yet been cleared to remove the debris and resume work on the building. A longer than expected delay could change plans for completion.
No information has been released about the cause of the fire. Greensboro Fire Department said in a news release last week that the investigation would begin Monday, March 25.
Each building is estimated to house about 200 residents.

Nicole's pill addictionNicole Richie's frightening weight loss was reportedly caused by an addiction to diet pills.
The brunette's close friend Crystal has revealed the 'Simple Life' star is hooked on Hoodia - a South African herb that fools the brain into thinking you are constantly full.
Crystal revealed to Britain's More magazine that Nicole once told her: "Hoodia makes you look hot in low-cut tops and backless dresses. It is good for me - the bushmen have sworn by it for hundreds of years and that's good enough for me."
The troubled 24-year-old rapidly dropped from a US size 2 to a US size 0 following her brief split from Adam Goldstein last December. She recently admitted that she was too thin.
The pair reportedly split again this week as a result of Nicole's constant partying and worrying eating habits.

text: As I was completing my early evening ride, I was once again struck by how beautiful SE Pennsylvania is this time of year. No sooner did I have this thought when my olfactory senses picked up one of my favorite fragrances. Yes, the lilacs are in bloom here. That means they are soon to be followed by the wild roses and then the honey suckle, and so it goes. One of the things I like a great deal about cycling is the intimate contact all of your senses encounter with nature. So, where you cycle regularly, what are the pleasant olfactory experiences you enjoy?

Infant abandonment issues???
My almost 8mth old refuses to let anyone put her down and walk away w/o screaming and crying non stop like a wild banshee; she's been like this since she she has started daycare at 5.5mths old! She's fine at home and wherever she goes where she can get that one-on-one - and is held often, but she's frustrating her daycare and sitters that can't hold or sit with her constantly. At home, she does do independent play, (does have strong mommy attachment, ESP when tired). I also sleep w/ her because she won't take a bottle or sippy, so she nurses at night. What can we do??

With all the kids away at college now, DH and I are doing a purge of the house. I came across this memory from long ago when I was pregnant with my oldest and thought I'd share.
I stopped at the top of the aisle, blinded by the sudden change from bright lobby to dark theater. Eager to see the premier of the newest thriller, movie goers streamed in behind me, squeezing past me in their rush to win seats in the already packed house. Those unable to get around my distended belly waited with nervous impatience.
I should have counted the rows when I left our seats, should not have insisted on going to the concession stand myself. But this third trimester had made me fickle about food. Sending my husband would have been pointless since by the time he returned I'd have changed my mind. Worse I would've been secretly cross with him for bringing me the snacks I'd asked for rather than the ones I wanted.
An elbow nudged my back. The people behind me were getting vocal with their frustration. I scanned the crowd. There. Even in the darkness I recognized the shape of that head. I waddled down to the row where ten seats separated me from my goal and began to wade through a human obstacle course. Alternately showing the unfortunates seated there my butt and bulging belly, I twisted my way through protruding knees and floor-parked purses.
"Hold these," I commanded and thrust a large soda and a bucket of popcorn at my husband. When he failed to take them I rattled them at him and then pushed them into his hands. Up on the big screen the coming attractions trailers were beginning. I sat down, opened a package of chocolate almonds and poured them over the popcorn. Then I took back the drink.
A woman seated on the other side of my husband leaned forward. In the darkness I couldn't quite make out her face, but her body language spoke volumes. Had I been too noisy? I smiled an apology at her and stuck my hand in my husband's lap for a handful of popcorn.
"Who are you?" the woman demanded.
Had she been saving this seat, I wondered. Surely my husband had explained it was taken.
"I'm his wife," I said. I rested my soda on my mountainous belly and stuffed popcorn in my mouth.
"No, I'm his wife!"
Several rows down a familiar silhouette stood up. "Reggie? Reggie!"
I shot to my feet as fast as an enormously pregnant woman could, grabbed my popcorn bucket from the still mute man, and did a rapid butt-belly-butt twist back through protruding knees and floor-parked purses.

Fifty Shades of Grey
Fifty Shades of Grey Casting: Jamie Dornan to Replace Charlie Hunnam as Christian Grey!
After Sons of Anarchy star Charlie Hunnam dropped out of Fifty Shades of Grey, it seemed like every guy in Hollywood was vying for the role of sexy business magnate Christian Grey.
Producers have been on a mission to find the perfect replacement, with a list of contenders that includes True Blood's Alexander Skarsgard, Australian actor Luke Bracey, Romeo & Juliet's Christian Cooke, and The Borgias star Francois Arnaud.
Well, it looks like we can stop speculating whose abs we'll get to ogle, because Variety has exclusively revealed that Jamie Dornan has been chosen for the role!
Fans of Fifty Shades might not be all that familiar with Jamie (yet), but he's already making his mark on TV. The 31-year-old Irish actor has recently been seen as Sheriff Graham Humbert on ABC's fantasy drama Once Upon a Time, and currently stars on the BBC crime drama The Fall.
On top of his acting credits, Jamie also performs in an Irish folk duo and has modeled for top brands like Calvin Klein, Armani, and Christian Dior. (Just look at those abs!)
The search for Christian Grey has been long and hard, and competition between different fandoms has been stiff. Fans of The Vampire Diaries wanted Ian Somerhalder in the film very, very badly. Ian didn't have time, but he was exceedingly grateful for the fan support. Twilight fans swore by Robert Pattinson, and rumors swirled even more furiously when reports pegged author E.L. James at Rob's Great Gatsby-themed party. However, other reports stated that the author cut R.Patz out of the running herself. Harsh!
Other fan favorites included The Walking Dead's Norman Reedus and Magic Mike's Matt Bomer. In fact, some fans were so angry Matt wasn't cast that they petitioned the filmmakers online.
Reception to the decision to cast Charlie Hunnam was mixed; some seemed skeptical that he could get past his scruffy biker role in Sons of Anarchy, despite a demonstrated ability for some sexy sex scenes. Ultimately, though, Charlie had to drop out due to some "family stuff."

Watery diarrhea in 7 week old
I was feeding my 7 week old enfimil with iron but he was so gassy I swithced it to the enfamil gentle ease and now he has been having watery poop. I started the new formula on Tuesday and then Weds morning around 11:00 he had the watery diarrhea just once then again around 7:00pm just once. Then he didn't go again till tonight (Thursday) around 6:30. So I was just wondering if anyone else has dealt with this and is it normal. Should I wait a few more days before I call the doctor incase it's just his belly adjusting to the new stuff or do you think I should call the doctor asap? Oh yeah and he's still eating normal and peeing normal and hasn't ran a fever. I hope someone can help me with this. Thank you

My daughter is also 7 weeks and doing the same thing. My doctor said as long as she is peeing and eating, it is normal to go a day or two without pooping. My doctor said that if it is bothering my child, I can put a bit of prune juice in her bottle. After the first month of life, they stop pooping every couple hours.posted 11/27/2007 by crystalminer

Apple Envisioned Siri 24 Years Ago
Despite the luke-warm reception given the new iPhone 4s by the worlds computer press, record levels of pre-orders have assured it will be a commercial success. Possibly the most important feature in the new iOS5 (available for download tomorrow) will be Siri.
Siri is intelligent voice recognition, and as I researched it's features, I was drawn back to my earliest days in tech.
In 1987 ago Apple released their vision of the future, it was a video called the Knowledge Navigator, take a look at that vision then, and set it against Siri....
The similarities are profound. It could simply be coincidence, but it could also speak to the focus and dedication Apple, under Steve Jobs has shown to a view of their future.

Information about the briefing has emerged privately from senior sources close to Sony at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco, with several senior staffers from the firm's overseas offices making the trip to the event next week. However, further chatter among some developers at the show which pointed towards a rather more public PS3 unveiling in Tokyo later this month has been officially denied. Next week's briefing is believed to be strictly for internal staff at Sony, with even the company's closest development partners from overseas not on the guest list. Only the top Sony elite appear to have been invited. What exactly the Sony execs will get to see in Tokyo is hard to say. The final specification for the system is almost certainly complete, and if it is to be shown at E3, we'd expect that the physical design of the hardware has also been completed. However, whether software demonstrations will be a part of the briefing is another question entirely - but it seems eminently possible, with several well-informed sources at GDC insistent that several of Sony's Japanese partners have had quite advanced PS3 development kits for "a couple of months", with the kits now making their way into selected developers in the west as well.

A New York Times article, found here, regarding the current state of dialysis in this country was worth reading. However what was even more interesting (to me) was the range of comments that were subsequently submitted. The article recalled that dialysis as a treatment for end stage renal disease was first instituted in the 1960s as a life saving treatment which was intended to get patients back on their feet and return to the workplace. Today, it is used primarily in the elderly population and often in conjunction with other major co-morbidities, at times to stave off the grim reaper for a short time. The author questions whether this expensive intervention is in the best interest of the patient, or the best allocation of scarce resource dollars.
Many of the comments agreed with the suggestion for a second look, given the limited benefits and the enormous costs of the expanded base. Others wrote that limiting life sustaining treatment was an immoral act; that targeting the elderly was patently unfair; that if we started limiting this service, it would be the first step down the slippery slope; and of course the ever present voice that we could have unlimited care if only we cut defense spending or foreign investment.
What continually astounds me is the view that limits are unacceptable, yet we cannot expect taxes to rise and we should be prepared for decreases in government health care budgets. So who is supposed to pay? Somehow the rights of individuals always trump that of the society. No one can put a price tag on a life. If my demented 90-year-old mother can live another month with dialysis, she should be entitled, so the argument goes. As medical care has continued to expand with ever more expensive drugs and equipment, costs have risen dramatically. There are still, as we know , millions without any coverage as well as the insured who are being asked to pay larger premiums, as one would expect, to keep up with the rising costs. Small businesses and state governments are struggling with these increases to the point of crisis. It would seem that distributive justice would dictate first, access to all and then fair distribution of services that we can afford. Any way we cut it, there are limits. Why should any group be exempt?

benita wrote on 04/13/11 11:07 AMWhile I mostlyagree I have to question the cut off point .. how do we determine who DOES qualify for this life extending, or any such, technology? How do we determine an end point? Does a 50 year old qualify ... how about an otherwise healthy, active 70 year old? And how do we create a cut-off point that either can't be corrupted or is void of the appearance of corruption for those who have money or influence?
sheila otto wrote on 04/13/11 4:40 PMMany factors can determine a "cut-off"...age is A factor but not necessarily the whole package. The point is that we need to think in terms of reexamining a lot of what we do. If it's all about me, then society's needs be damned. Everything I read says we simply cannot continue down this path.In terms of the rich buying more care.....as Jimmy Carter once said, "Life isn't fair" and we already have a multi-tiered system with varying degrees of coverage.
