Sell it in a bottle
Wanted: Gifted and talented people to help change the culture
If you could take this unusual commodity we sometimes call "Christian worldview thinking," put it in a bottle, and sell it in the contemporary marketplace, what would it look like?
If your goal with this exotic elixir were to encourage folks in every walk of life to learn how to put God smack dab at the center of their experience, would the contents of the bottle look more like medicine or a zingy soft drink? If you wanted to help all kinds of people focus their thinking processes, their goal setting, and their value systems on God's revelation of Himself in the Bible, would you be inclined to do it with a few sips and a tiny tablet now and then through the day-or with a long and hearty quaff from a half-gallon jug?
Here at WORLD, we think about questions like that day in and day out. We know what's in the bottle-and we know it's good stuff. We know it's got the capacity to change the lives of men and women and boys and girls-and we know how those changed lives then also have the capacity to change the culture around them. It's the possibility of such change-no, let's call it the prospect of such change-that excites us about the future.
Now we are looking for new help in bringing about that kind of change. The bottling of so powerful a substance is a grand opportunity to bring God's truth to hundreds of thousands of minds and hearts. To buy up that opportunity, we're looking for a gifted person to join us as Director of Marketing. This new Director will coordinate all our efforts to double, triple, and even quadruple our reader base over the next few years in print publishing, digital platforms, broadcasting, and education.
Kevin Martin, our CEO, says this new Director of Marketing needs to be an experienced man or woman "able to develop and execute a branding and marketing strategy for the entire company during a period of high growth (we hope) and great change (we're pretty sure). The person will be expected to organize disparate, disconnected marketing efforts into a unified, holistic program." Ideally, this person will have experience working with outside creative, advertising, and marketing businesses. He or she will have experience working in a nonprofit environment. The candidate will have successfully managed a budget, will have managed other people, and will be able to demonstrate a record of building consensus within a team that knows where it's going.
Our CEO is at the very same time also launching a search for a new Controller for our organization-someone who has enough experience to oversee accounting, accounts payable, and payroll functions. He or she will manage the budgeting process, the monthly reporting to the CEO and the board, the audit process, and the reporting of taxes. Two years' experience elsewhere as a controller with at least a mid-size business, and eight years' financial experience overall, would be ideal.
Even if you're not this person, is it possible you know someone of world-class abilities who strikes you as a good fit? To see a complete description for either position, or to recommend someone you know, email Hannah Kaminer, Mr. Martin's executive assistant, at email@example.com.
Important and specific as technical skills might be for both positions, no one should inquire or send a resumé until he or she is ready to contribute concretely and imaginatively to the conversation I described above. We don't expect anyone to have all the answers about how to bottle this thing we call Christian worldview thinking. We do expect some robust ideas with the capacity for shaping, reshaping-and then reshaping again-this most important conversation.

It's harder to imagine a meatier -- and more wasted -- ensemble than what Brett Ratner has at his disposal in "Tower Heist." In theory, what we have here is a potentially entertaining payback story about blue-collar New Yorkers who unite against the affluent resident (Alan Alda) of a Manhattan high-rise, plotting to steal his riches back after he destroys their earnings with a Ponzi scheme. It's only a mild spoiler to mention that they get the job done.
But the real theft involves moviegoers' wallets, which are bound to open up this weekend in hopes of it being a better movie. The release of "Tower Heist" on Friday puts Ratner's Hollywood domination in focus and creates the opportunity to consider some alternatives.
Led by committed building manager Josh (Ben Stiller), the staff in "Tower Heist" includes several generations of name talent: Michael Peña, Casey Affleck and Gabourey Sidibe bring the youth contingency, Stiller and Matthew Broderick round out the fortysomethings and Eddie Murphy (who turned 50 in April) looms just above them as the shifty thief Josh hires to help with the heist. Téa Leoni plays an aggressive FBI agent simultaneously committed to taking down Alda's character while inexplicably falling for Josh's off-putting charms. Among the grey-haired veterans, Alda has company from Judd Hirsch in a minor role.
These are actors who could take a glass of water and make it funny, charming or profound at will, if the material allows. "Tower Heist" mostly holds down such possibilities with a plot lifted from "Ocean's Eleven" and only occasionally enlivened by the build-up to the big finale.
There is a certain large-scale Hollywood charm, mainly in the cockamamie action sequences; among these, a climax set during Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade features the same goofy slapstick and daring stuntwork that made Ratner's "Rush Hour" franchise a blockbuster hit. Still, "Tower Heist" fails to become anything more than a mild guilty pleasure -- the modus operandi of Ratner's oeuvre.
Ratner supposedly chose Murphy to host the Oscars after making this film, but the movie feels like an audition for the job. To be fair, Ratner has made worse movies equally poised for major box office returns, but nothing matches the smugness on display here. While mildly funny at times, the plot is wildly inconsistent, at first treasuring the workers' struggles and then just celebrating the art of the steal.
In theory, and for some parts of its solid first act, "Tower Heist" taps into the zeitgeist by channeling the rage currently epitomized by the Occupy Wall Street. Those seeking a more perceptive look at the battles of less fortunate and unemployed members of society should look no further than "Take Shelter," Jeff Nichols' startling parable in which Michael Shannon plays a broke family man plagued by visions of the apocalypse. Shannon's phenomenal performance perfectly evokes the sense of confusion that accompanies any personal crisis, economic or otherwise -- although, unlike "Tower Heist," it's not remotely funny.
For that outlet, however, there's another cure: Finnish director Aki Kaurismaki's deadpan near-masterpiece "Le Havre," also out now, harkens back to his 1980's-era "Proletariat Trilogy" with an alternately poignant and cheery adventure about an aging shoe shiner committed to helping a young illegal immigrant evade the police. Kaurismaki's sympathy for sad, alienated men and women from working-class backgrounds makes his filmmaking more relevant than ever before.
Of course, some audiences would rather go to the movies to forget about these things and "Tower Heist" gives them the option of pretending that a happy ending is around every corner. Ratner's film enables that delusion, but there's a superior ensemble piece currently in theaters that dismantles it. "Margin Call" is a chronicle of the financial collapse almost entirely set in a single office. The cast features a half dozen first-rate performances from a similarly broad spectrum, from Zachary Quinto to Kevin Spacey. With its morbid portrayal of a corrupt investment bank on the brink of screwing over its clients, "Margin Call" puts a chilling face on corporate greed. It's not a whole lot better than "Tower Heist," but at least somewhat closer to the truth.

I spent a good part of the day looking for ducks and geese in various water bodies around the metro area.� Starting in my "backyard" at Lake Como, I found 4 Cackling Geese among a few hundred Canada Geese, plus a Gadwall, and several Shovelers.� Other sites and birds included:
Lake Vadnais - LONG-TAILED DUCK - still present in the southeast corner of the lake; however it and the numerous goldeneyes were tucked up far against the north shore of the southeast portion (right along the walking/biking trail, so it was pretty difficult to find and I had to scope through the ducks for a good 10 minutes before spotting it.� Other ducks in the southeast part of the lake included Canvasbacks (~25), a few Redheads, Buffleheads, and Lesser Scaup, plus hundreds of Ring-necked Ducks.� I didn't see the solitaire mentioned in the previous post, but I wasn't looking for it either!
Lake of the Isles - Empty, no scoters, just Mallards and Canada Geese
Lake Calhoun - Mostly empty, except for two Horned Grebes
Lake Harriet - Canvasbacks (3), Red-breasted Mergansers (6), Ruddy Ducks (2), and a fly-over of 45 Tundra Swans.
Old Cedar Avenue Bridge to Bass Ponds, MN River National Wildlife Refuge - Trumpeter Swans (12) and nearly every dabbler, including numerous Green-winged Teal, Wigeons, Pintail, a couple American Black Ducks, etc.� There were >100 Tundra Swans resting in Long Meadow Lake farther north towards the Bass Ponds area.� Passerines included Northern Shrike, a single Rusty Blackbird, a late Golden-crowned Kinglet, and a fly-over group of ~80 Snow Buntings.
It was a good day for waterfowl in the area as a total of 22 species of ducks/geese/swans were found.� The only "common" ducks not seen were Blue-winged Teal, Greater Scaup, and Common Merganser.

New Central Americans and One Outsider.
Before leaving for Peru on Monday, I have some new arrivals to upload. We have quite a few Central American arrivals (5) so let's start with the one outlying coffee: Australia Mountain Top Farm -Bin 478 has more character this year, fruited with rose hips and spice. Back to those Centrals, the Costa Rica Brumas Dry-Process is phenomenal coffee, but expect something more like an Ethiopia Harar than a Costa Rica. It's fruity and chocolaty, not to any ridiculous extreme ... but ... if you want one that is, boy do we have it. Guatemala Oriente Dry-Process is completely over-the-top with a complete fruit salad and super intense chocolate at FC+ roast. Read the review! We have two beautiful El Salvador arrivals, the El Salvador Cup of Excellence -Finca Malacara which was #5 in the competition, and El Salvador Organic -Finca Mauritania a classic cup with sweet delicate fruited flavors and balanced body. Lastly, we have the humble, simple (yet delicious) Mexico Organic Chiapas Proish Coop ... another nice Mexican coffee with another unglamorous name. Thankfully, names don't make coffee taste any worse (or better). Also see the shennanigans of the Costa Rica Micro-Millers visit to Sweet Maria's on Friday. How many cupping have free soccer balls at the end? -Tom

Lawyers for rap artist Daz Dillinger, also known as "Dat Nigga Daz" and "Delmar Drew Arnaud," sent a cease and desist letter to Take-Two Interactive Software and Rockstar Games to block the use of his songs in Grand Theft Auto V. Speaking to TMZ, Dillinger said that he took action because it is all about "respecting an artist's work" and added that "Rockstar didn't do that here and I can't let them get away with it."
Dillinger is represented by Orange County law firm Kushner Carlson. The firm's letter on behalf of the artist to Take-Two Interactive Software and Rockstar Games revealed prior requests to use the two tracks from Dillinger – "C-Walk" and "Nothin' But the Cavi Hit." The firm notes in the letter that those requests were turned down because of an "offensively low offer of $4,271.00 for both songs."
Dillinger is seeking the recall and destruction of all unsold copies of the GTA V, or a better offer for the song rights. The law firm has set a deadline of 14 days.
We will have more on this story as it develops.

"The Total Cost of Fire in the United States" report (PDF, 725 KB)
Fact sheet
Total cost of fire in the U.S." fact sheet (PDF, 192 KB)
NFPA has created a total cost of fire infographic (PDF, 1 MB) for you to use on your website, blogs, Facebook and Twitter. Just download the graphic and place wherever you want to use it. Please link to this report page at www.nfpa.org/totalcost.
Contact us
If you have any questions, e-mail Nancy Schwartz or call +1 617 984-7450.
Includes human and economic losses, costs of the fire service, built-in fire protection, and costs associated with the insurance industry.
In 2011 the total cost of fire is estimated at $329 billion, or roughly 2.1% of U.S. gross domestic product. The components are as follows:
It should be clear that most of the analysis supporting these estimates is soft and has wide bands of uncertainty. Nevertheless, the conclusion that fire has a tremendous impact on the way the U.S. uses its resources is indisputable.
It also is clear that we have a dual interest in reducing U.S. fire losses – which include human losses that are among the highest per capita in the industrial world – and in seeking ways to achieve equivalent fire safety at lower costs, since the growth in total cost of fire has been led not by the fire losses but by the other cost components. This provides a clear indication of need for product innovations or other programs (e.g., residential sprinklers, educational programs) that can improve fire safety at the same or lower costs. It also shows the need for improved methods (e.g., models) for calculating fire performance and costs, so the implications of different choices can be considered and judged more comprehensively.
Several of the formulas in this report have been reworked, with results recalculated back to 1980. This report should be used in place of all earlier reports for all years.

Holmoe Assesses Oklahoma Game
Related Links
September 15, 1998
BERKELEY - California Head Coach Tom Holmoe
Weekly Press Conference
September 15, 1998
Reviewing the defense in last week's game against Nebraska:
"Just looking back on the game, we did some things defensively that were very good, and we made a few mistakes defensively that caused a couple of break-out runs. I thought the safeties played really well. They had a huge responsibility in that game. They were darn close on coverage over the day. From not having (linebacker) Matt Beck in there for the two games, we have had good, solid play from our linebackers, and that's a very positive sign."
Reviewing the offense vs. Nebraska:
"Offensively, with the line changes, I think John Welbourn played better than he did the first week. Langston Walker, coming in with all that was written about him playing his first game against Nebraska, played darn good game, and looking at the film, he did his job."
On substituting on the offensive line:
"I wouldn't be surprised if we went with a couple of different guys in the game this week. It has been very hot down there, considering that we have a couple of different combinations that we can try, it wouldn't surprise me if we made some changes during the game and rested a couple of the big boys."
On special teams:
"It was nice to see Tim Wolleck come in and be able to kick that field goal. But still, I don't think our team is confident yet that we can get down to the 30-yard line and kick a field goal at anytime. If you get to the 30 or inside, you should be able to line up with confidence and have a very good percentage of hitting it, and we have to get to that point. I was glad to see Tim split the uprights when we called on him. I feel good about that. Now he has to continue to do that. He will be the guy going in this week against Oklahoma."
On punt effectiveness against Nebraska:
"Nick Harris did a very good job. His punts backed up Nebraska a lot and gave them long fields to drive for much of the game, and that was part of the strategy."
On injured offensive guard Brandon Ludwig's status:
"Brandon Ludwig has been cleared to go through practice this week. We are going to go through practice this week and see how he reacts. We are going to ease him into contact this week, and if he is ready then he would be cleared to play in the game."
On Oklahoma's offense:
"What they are doing is bringing a lot of guys up to the line of scrimmage and putting a lot of guys in the box. They are a very high-pressure defense. They will put their guys in some tough situations coverage-wise, and hopefully when they do that we will take advantage of them."
Comparing the Nebraska and Oklahoma offenses:
"You will some very similar offensive sets and formations as what Nebraska used. That was one of the benefits of playing the two teams back to back. We can't show them the same game plan, or else they will have a finger on us, but it helps to have played an option attack. It is assignment football, and it takes time to get used to that."
Reaction and reflection on the Nebraska game:
"The bottom is that it was pretty positive. People are going to beat it out of me until I say it was "okay." It was okay. But there is so much more ahead that I'm certainly not going to live off of this game. If that game helps us towards the future, which I think it will, and if that prepares us for a Pac-10 schedule and helps us win some games, them yes, it was worth the effort. If they don't learn from that game, then maybe it's just show."
On using Oklahoma as a yardstick for the defense:
"Going on the road to play in Oklahoma against a team that is trying to turn the corner is going to be a very good sign for our defense on where they are at. And even though it is not going to be a Pac-10-looking team, it certainly will show to what degree our guys will fight."
On evaluating the receiver corps:
"I'm going to take a good long look at practice this week and see who is ready to play a great game. We need more production and we need to spread it around more."

Remember back in the start of Cataclysm when the prices on high-end enchants were through the roof because of the prohibitive cost of Maelstrom Crystals? Even gold makers like me refused to pay those prices for the top enchants since they were a marginal improvement over the cheaper variety.
With the return of higher prices on maelstroms and heavenly shards, many of the high-end enchants (Landslide, Power Torrent, Windwalk, Bracers [Agility, Strength and Intellect] among others) are again becoming cost-prohibitive for people to purchase, especially when coupled with the smoother upgrade curve I talked about last week. Why would I spend between 2-3k on enchants for 378 Gear from Heroics that I'm going to replace soon (because we all think our next upgrade will be Soon™, right?) with 384 LFR Gear? I'll wait to purchase the best enchant for when I get my "best" drop, where "best" is defined as the highest level gear I think I'll be able to obtain.
A comparison of Low- vs. High-End enchants:
Mending instead of Windwalk (Tanks)
Avalanche instead of Landslide (Melee DPS)
Hurricane/Heartsong instead of Power Torrent (Spell DPS/Healer)
Speed (50 Haste) instead of Greater Speed (65 Haste)
Critical Strike (50) instead of Greater Critical Strike (65)
Most Bracer Enchants (50/65 Secondary Stats) instead of Agility/Strength/Intellect (50 Primary Stats)
Exceptional Strength (35) instead of Mighty Strength (50)
Mastery (50) instead of Greater Mastery (65)
Mighty Stats (15 Primary Stats) instead of Peerless Stats (20 Primary Stats)
Stamina (55) instead of Greater Stamina (75)
Critical Strike (50) instead of Greater Critical Strike (65)
Intellect (30) instead of Greater Intellect (50)
Ghostly Spellthread (55 Int, 45 Spirit) instead of Powerful Ghostly Spellthread (95 Int, 55 Spirit)
Enchanted Spellthread (55 Int, 65 Stam) instead of Powerful Enchanted Spellthread (95 Int, 80 Stam)
Scorched Leg Armor (110 AP, 45 Crit) instead of Dragonscale Leg Armor (190 AP, 55 Crit)
Twilight Leg Armor (85 Stamina, 45 Agility) instead of Charscale Leg Armor (145 Stamina, 55 Agility)
In most cases, the higher cost item sells for 7-10 times more than the lower end one. Some of the higher-end enchants (I'm looking at you Bracer - Mighty Strength) have huge markups (Around 1,000g on my server). Most however, tend to be not much better than the lower level enchants. But I've noticed that lately I'm selling a lot more of the low-end enchants than the high-end. So even though the lower-end enchants have a smaller gold markup, I make more gold on them because I sell a lot more.
Have you forgotten about the lower-end enchants and focused on high-end only? If so, it's time to revisit the lower-end, more affordable enchants.
Bonus Somewhat Unrelated Tip: Enchant scrolls can now be placed in enchanting bags. The change seems to be an undocumented (at the time) one that came with 4.3. If you keep a lot of scrolls in stock at any given time, it might be useful to pick up an enchanting bag.

This is a very strong article, especially with some servers and their maelstrom crystals never dropping below 150-200g per (hard to make gold on 1-2 sales when it costs 95% material cost to make the scroll of uber buttkicking.
On your server when do you expect the downsizing of scroll sales overall for the major and semi major enhancements?

Annette's Story
In December 2012, I went into Congestive Heart Failure at 34 yrs old. I progressively was getting worse until the day my husband Jim rushed me to the E.R. The doctor on duty ordered a x-ray to rule out any problems with my lungs, Although what they did find they did Not expect since I was only 34. They found 12 pounds of liquid surrounding my heart since the left side of my heart was enlarged. They made sure I was stable and the next day they sent me to St. Helena, Ca. where they did a angiogram and seen that all of my arteries were blocked and my E.F.(ejection fraction) was at 13%, the day after the angiogram they did a 6 way bi-pass, My husband states that my surgery took all day until 7 pm. The specialists were unable to get my heart to start, so they told my husband they would try for a hour until they would let me go. By about 7:45 pm they came out to tell Jim that they were able to get my heart started. Once I was stabilized I was on a balloon pump, and I was transferred to CPMC in S.F. to recover.

Dollar Daze
Is it this hard to find a $1 meal in New York?
Jennifer 8. Lee tries to sniff out the last of the city's $1 foods and doesn't find a heck of a lot beyond the skewers, slices, and dumplings that Rob and Robin pointed at in Cheap Eats, though she does acknowledge our pre–Fung Wah ritual, Jumbo Hot Dog. Come on people, we know there's more — the $1 vegetarian samosas at Lahore Deli, for instance, or the "tamale lady" at 116th and Third Avenue. Any others? [City Room/NYT]

A new way of relieving pain in childbirth involves the use of a TENS unit—transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation—which is commonly used during labor by women in Great Britain and Sweden. In the U.S., TENS units have been used for years by physical therapists in their rehabilitation of injured patients.
A TENS unit can make a patient more comfortable in labor by using mild electrical stimulation to increase the release of the body's natural pain-relieving substances, and by blocking the nerve pathways that cause labor pains. The unit and pads are applied to the lower back and attached to a small battery-operated stimulator which the patient holds and controls. A tingling sensation is felt at regular intervals, and the woman can adjust the amount of stimulation to her own preference.
Obstetric TENS has been found to be an effective technique for pain control in over 80 percent of births. Many studies have been done in Europe with marked success, especially for back pain in labor. There are no known harmful effects to mother or baby. The only women who should not use TENS during labor are those with a cardiac pacemaker, those with a pre-term labor, those with broken skin where the pads would attach and those with a seizure disorder or undiagnosed sources of pain.

I'm not very excitable. Certainly I'm not high strung, edgy or emotional. Maybe you would call me unflappable.
But when I think about a blog, the ho-hum world of education having a blog, and Avera Education & Staffing Solutions sponsoring a blog…now, that excites me!
Remember the days when information was passed from office to office with a hand-written memo? They were hard to read and sometimes even rude. Complaints were bitterly heard throughout organizations regarding lack of communication. Decisions, plans, and general information got lost in the paper shuffle.
Today there is no excuse for poor communication. At our fingertips are e-mail, texting, cell phones, web pages, twitter, and blogs.
A blog! It will tell you about Guidance for Surveyors changes. When there are upcoming Webinars or education conferences in the area, the blog can inform you. Healthcare reform, infection control updates, employee management tips…imagine the subjects that can be discussed!
I am honored to be the first blogger on this site. My vision is a succession of guest bloggers that talk about educational opportunities, advances in health care, and challenges of health care in our area. Do you wish to express your thoughts and opinions? Do you have something to say? Do you want to share a good idea? The blog provides a place to say it and be heard.
AESS will monitor guest blogger's submissions assuring it is appropriate and non-offensive. If you would like to participate, send your blog submissions to email@example.com. It will be reviewed and you will be notified of its posting.
Also, I want to tell you upcoming webinars from AESS. On Wednesday, December 16, 2009 (8:30 am - 12:30 pm) Regan Luken, RN, nursing instructor at USD presents Physical Assessment Part I. On Thursday, January 7, 2010 (8:30 am - 12:30 pm) she presents Physical Assessment Part II. Gwen Maag, RN, will offer Advanced MDS on Tuesday, January 19, 2010 (8:30 am - 12:30 pm). And on Tuesday, February 2, 2010 (11:00 am - 12:00 pm) Marci Pederson, RN, former health facilities surveyor, will host The Next Level of Interpreting Infection Control Guidance for Surveyors.
I'm excited. A blog! I just informed you about advances on our website. I dated myself when discussing handwritten memos (actually, I even remember when doctors and nurses smoked at the nurse's station…Wow!! That's dated!!). You learned about upcoming webinars. Information at it's finest.

Athena tower unveiled at London City Airport
08:00 15 July 2012
It is neither a bird or a plane, but one new eye-catching new landmark at London City Airport is set to grab the attention of Olympic tourists.
Fliers will be greeted by the newly installed Athena tower before they touch down in Silvertown.
The 12-metre high bronze sculpture - the tallest of its kind in the UK - was unveiled by East Ham MP Stephen Timms.
It was designed by Newham-born artist Nasser Azam, who has artwork on show at the National Botanical Gardens in Dublin and the Westminster Park Plaza.
The ex-Langdon School pupil said: "I grew up in Newham and for some time have wanted to give something back to the community there
"The location is tremendous given the development that has already taken place around the Royal Docks and the planned regeneration will create a key business and leisure hub, not only for Newham but also for London."
"I developed the sculpture to be an unambiguous form that is uplifting, inspiring and easily recognizable."
Athena has its roots in Greek mythology, giving it a link to the Olympic Games.
Planning permission for the sculpture was granted by Newham Council in January this year. Mayor Sir Robin Wales also attended the ceremony.
"We are proud to welcome Nasser's Athena," he said.
"Nasser is helping to contribute to what is already an exciting year. Residents and visitors cannot fail to see how much the area is changing, with regeneration happening across the borough.
He added: "Newham is swiftly becoming an exciting new cultural destination in the heart of the East End."

Posted on June 15, 2012 in Gear Running Accessories
Summer's in full swing and if you're rockin' an old pair of shades for your runs, it's probably time for an upgrade. Take a look at our top picks for running sunglasses.
Tifosi Slip
Sixty bucks doesn't go all that far these days, but it still gets you a great pair of running sunglasses. The Slip offers core features many runners want: low weight, adjustable nosepiece and temples, high lens clarity and good lens ventilation. Count on the Slip to get the job done without breaking the bank. And for $30 more, upgrade to the Polarized version.
Smith Parallel
You: "How the heck can a $129.00 pair of sunglasses be a good value?" Us: "It's all in the details. The Parallel offers an amazing fit that feels custom-made for the shape of your face. A special lens coating repels water, dirt and grease, and the lens offers top-notch scratch and impact resistance. And of course, the view is crystal clear and distortion free."
Tifosi Tyrant Polarized Fototec
How many times have you started out on a run with plenty of sunshine, only to find clouds rolling in by mile three? And how about those squinty days when it's just a bit overcast? This model from Tifosi features a Fototec lens that adjusts to transmit between 9 to 29% of light based on the amount of UV light the lens is exposed to.
Smith Pivlock V90
Snap in the Ignitor Red interchangeable lens that comes with the Pivlock V90 for clearer vision on lightly overcast and hazy days when the sun's rays are refracting all over the place. The open-top, rimless design offers maximum ventilation to prevent fogging as the temperature changes.
Tifosi Gavia SL
The Gavia is our top seller for runners with small or slender face shapes. It provides just enough lens coverage where you need it. Adjustable temples allow a custom fit for greater comfort.
Smith Parallel
Another good choice, the Parallel's lenses are on the smaller side, and the frame features a great wrap shape that compliments smaller faces.
Tifosi Alpe
The Alpe has a smaller frame and lens design that provides just enough coverage for small to medium face shapes. It is also the only pair of running sunglasses we carry with a full frame, which can help improve durability.
Tifosi Roubaix
Adjustable temples and a large lens area makes the Roubaix a top choice for runners with larger faces. It also offers one of the widest frames we carry.
Nike Tailwind12
A sizable lens with a square shape provides additional coverage on the bottom and sides of this model. The frame of the Tailwind12 is flexible enough to accommodate wider faces.
Smith Parallel Max
This model has the same temple and bridge design as the Smith Parallel, with lenses that are 2 millimeters wider on either side to provide more coverage by the temple for larger or wider face shapes.
Ryders Hex
Changing out the lenses on the Hex is as simple as flexing the frame upward near the temple and pulling the lens down away from the frame. Once the lens pops free near the temple, it will then pull away from the nosepiece. You won't need to fuss and fight with these glasses to install your lens of choice – you'll be set to go in just a matter of seconds.
Smith Parallel
This model offers easy-to-swap lenses with three different high-quality lens options. To trade out the lenses, just hold the frame in the center between the lenses. Then pull the lens firmly and slowly in a downward motion away from the center of the sunglasses. Popping a lens in place is just as simple.
Nike Flying Lens
Available on the Impel Swift and Tailwind12, the Flying Lens design allows airflow and reduces fogging, but still provides a sturdy connection between the lenses and frame.
Smith Pivlock V90
The frameless design of the Pivlock V90 makes it easy for air to escape above the eyebrows. The two-piece temples provide additional ventilation on the side while maintaining structural integrity.
Tifosi Cut-Out
Available on numerous Tifosi models, the cut-outs in the lenses near the temples provide good airflow and help to prevent fogging. Look at the Pave or Envy models for the largest ventilation cut-outs.
Tifosi Vogel
The Vogel is easy on the eyes, and easy on the eyes. There's no denying this is a stylish pair of shades. We have plenty of customers wearing these for their workouts and then giving them a quick wipe-down for everyday use.
Nike Hyperion
Sleek styling and Nike logo in bold yellow on the temples make it easy to wear these on a run or just around town.
Tifosi Wisp
You won't see too many other sunglasses with such a cool crystal brown frame, and the versatile design of the Wisp makes it a stylish choice for the runner who wants to look good while training, racing, or just spending a day relaxing.

As a barefaced runner, it sickens me to see this sort of technology pushed on people, promising to protect and correct, when all it does is hamper and hurt. Humans evolved for millennia with our eyes uncovered, and so it's nothing more than hubris and greed that drives the running sunglasses industry. For shame.
Tell us how you really feel, Alex! Seriously though, we appreciate the comment. There are certainly some folks who run without sunglasses in bright conditions, but plenty of people prefer them. We're just trying to offer as many good options as we can. In terms of performance, what do you see as the harm to runners who want to wear sunglasses?
Matt, I think Alex just took a jab at barefoot running zealots rather than making an honest post…
I thought it was obvious, but I was trying to satirize the zealotry one sees in the barefoot/shod debate. Maybe it didn't come through, but I was being 100% sarcastic.
Sorry Alex, apparently my sense of humor didn't wake up with the rest of my body this morning. Thanks for the clever comment!
Haha some of those glasses are just awesome i wish i could have those for running but its always raining here so people would probably think im crazy :P
The information on sunglasses guide and especially the results are quite better.
Superb information here. Seems like Tifosi Slip Sunglasses is the best choice for me. Thanks for the great article!
Thank you for your feedback. We're glad this article helped you choose a great pair of sunglasses.
I also run barefoot, but different than the eyes. Remember, peopled died a lot younger years ago. For a 56 yo trail runner/climber that was in the glaring sun way too much. Now I have to worry about cataracts. For go fashion and just get a good pair of polarized glasses, only if you want to still see in your 40's.
Thanks a lot for this blog post. I am in need of a new pair of running shades, but it is important to me that I find a pair of polarized sunglasses that will not only fit my big (not scary big, but big) head and not slip while running. Thanks for the helpful list of glasses that will do just that.

I have two maven modules, one that ends up as a jar, and one war that depends on that jar.
I want the jar module to package it's source code together with the compiled classes in the jar, so that the second module is able to access it. I have tried using the maven-source-plugin, but I am confused as to how to add a dependency on the output of that. It seems that the dependency by default goes to the compiled jar, and not the source-code jar (ending with "-source.jar") that maven-source-plugin creates.
How do I add the "-source.jar" as a dependency, while still preserving the dependency on the compiled sources?

New information Friday, as NBC Montana uncovered what could be plans for a big box store in the Bitterroot.
We are told the size is similar to a Walmart or a Costco.
The area sits at the corner of Highway 93 and Blood Lane.
It is the same land Walmart looked at in 2007, but then abandoned.
NBC Montana asked state and government officials, the property broker, and even Walmart.
No one would confirm exactly what is being planned.
But sources indicate the square footage of the proposed building gives us the best insight.
We found that information in a waste water permit application filed in Helena.
The plans call for a 156,000 square foot retail store.
In 2012, Time magazine researchers reported the average grocery store, like a Safeway, covers 50,000 square feet.
The average Home Depot totals 100,000 square feet.
But the average Costco or Walmart measures close to 150,000 square feet.
The acreage north of Blood Lane off Highway 93 is listed as the commercial real estate, and a site where Walmart was going to build several years ago.
The septic site was approved.
But Walmart abandoned plans.
Developer Lee Foss said the land is "market ready for whoever wants to come in."
Foss said he does not have a buyer.
Environmental health director John Palacio showed NBC Montana the paper work he received from the state this spring about a proposed public water supply well on site.
Palacio said the state has approved the location and construction of a well.
"The approval is for well construction only," said Palacio."But plans and specifics for the pumps for those wells still do need to go under view, or any treatment, if the well needs treatment."
The state still needs to review a waste water treatment applications.
Permits at the DEQ are not cheap.
The state is expected to charge close to $15,000 for these two separate applications.
Other state agencies are working on this too.
The Montana Department of Transportation received an application for a new access to Highway 93 near Blood Lane in April.

Welcome to a Fundholder Story
A Driving Force in Philanthropy for 40+ Years
If you've lived, worked or bought a car in Burlington, chances are the name Leggat is familiar. Founded in 1922, the Leggat Auto Group is now a multi dealership chain with 400 employees, built by three consecutive generations. Doug Leggat, son of founder Roy, has been giving back to the city of Burlington for more than 40 years, and in 2011, was named Philanthropist of the Year by the Foundation. He is also the Honourary Chair for the 2014 Masquerade Ball.
Watch Doug take a tour of Burlington while sharing his story
Doug was a driving force behind the development of our Foundation–serving as the first chair. "I felt that a community foundation was going to be fantastic for Burlington; something the community needed. It lasts forever. If I give them a donation, it lives forever." Doug says.
In 2004, Doug created the Leggat Family Fund and, in this video, shares what giving means to him, "I think it's the personal satisfaction that you feel you have done something to help people out…and…the satisfaction in yourself that you have done something worthwhile."
Doug has been a successful local automobile dealer since taking over the business from his father. He attributes his company's success to the Burlington community in which his family has built their business. Over the course of his 50-year career, he's seen a phenomenal amount of positive change in the city, only adding to its appeal.
"What a great city to do business in," Doug says, "It's grown from around 90,000 to 160,000 people so it's been nice to be here in that growth period. I've been a part of this community for over 43 years. I love Burlington. It is a great spot to live, a great spot to do business. It's a great community."
The first of what would be many philanthropic ventures came in 1972, when Doug was asked to chair the fundraising efforts of Joseph Brant Memorial Hospital's (JBMH) Healthy Tomorrow program. "We were aiming to raise $5 million, which was a huge goal back then," says Leggat. "We all made some calls and Burlington, being such a generous community, stepped up and helped us achieve that goal."
But try to give Leggat credit for the outstanding fundraising accomplishment and he'll be the first to point out who is really to thank. "I had a great committee," he says. "You can't ever do anything by yourself. It's too big and it's something you have to work towards."
The longevity of Doug's commitment to JBMH is truly remarkable. The hospital recently created an advisory group of keenly interested citizens, called the Ambassadors. Once again Doug stepped up to be on the Executive Committee. He will be influential in the largest capital campaign to support expansion and redevelopment of the hospital.
Children and youth is another area that Doug is a passionate about. In 2011, 2012 and 2013 the Leggat Family Fund granted to Nelson Youth Centres, an accredited children's mental health centre that provides group based treatment programs for Halton's children and youth and their families. Doug became involved with Nelson Youth Centres about two years ago because he saw the need in Burlington for a place that supports children experiencing behavioural problems.
"It comes back to youth and trying to help," shares Doug. "It is very fulfilling to think that you can help some people that need help. [Nelson Youth Centres are]…worthwhile…for the children of the area."
"I think it is important for people to give to help the community and to help people at large whether it be financially or whether it be in time or effort. There are so many things people can do. They don't necessarily have to have a lot of money to do it"
Doug explains that while money is certainly an important part of philanthropy, it goes far beyond a financial contribution. It's not just money that helps these organizations operate, he explains modestly–it's also about time and effort.
"[Volunteers] play a big part in our whole society of Burlington. I'm someone that happened to get lucky to have my name on something but really, there are people out there that have done a lot more than I have."
The Burlington Community Foundation named Leggat as their 2011 Philanthropist of the Year. The significant award is given to the nominee who best exemplifies the qualities outlined in the Foundation's criteria, including community impact, financial gifts, leadership and volunteerism.
"When I was asked [to be Philanthropist of the Year], I was flabbergasted that they would pick me," said Doug. "There are so many other people out there that have done so much more but I'm absolutely honoured. For myself, for my family… it's an honour to all of us."
"Doug is one of many generous philanthropists who are personally driven to make a lasting impact on the vitality of our community." says Colleen Mulholland, President and CEO, Burlington Community Foundation. "By giving time or whatever they can, people from all walks of life are making this city a great place to live, work and play."

MELBOURNE, Florida, May 8, 2002 — An integrated, real-time transaction processing and online fingerprint-matching database developed for the FBI by Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS) processed a one-day record 3,295,587 law enforcement transactions on March 15, 2002. The average response time for each transaction was just 0.1467 seconds. The FBI's National Crime Information Center (NCIC) 2000 database previously had a year-to-date average of 2.8 million transactions per day. The improved response time was aided by a recent hardware upgrade provided by Harris.
The FBI's NCIC 2000 system maintains millions of records concerning criminal histories, fugitives, missing persons, and stolen property. The database is used 24 hours a day, 365 days a year by U.S. law enforcement and other criminal justice agencies. In addition to processing information requests online via PCs, NCIC 2000 also enables law enforcement officers in the field to electronically capture fingerprints, which can then be transmitted to the NCIC where the fingerprints are matched against a massive database of felons for quick identification. NCIC can also transmit mug shots of felons identified by the fingerprint match.
"NCIC blends the best of Harris information processing technologies and capabilities, and we are proud of its high performance level," said Bob Henry, president, Harris Government Communications Systems Division (GCSD). "Going forward, we believe there is added value in integrating national law enforcement systems like NCIC 2000 with other real-time identification and tracking products to provide cost-effective airport and airline security tools for organizations such as the new Transportation Security Administration."
Harris developed and produced the next-generation NCIC 2000 to replace a 30-year-old textual-response system fielded by the FBI in 1967. That original NCIC processed only 2 million transactions during its first year of operation. The Harris-designed system, installed in 1999 at the FBI's Criminal Justice Information System (CJIS) Division, greatly increased transaction capability and accuracy, and added features for fingerprint matching and transmission of digital images.
Harris GCSD conducts advanced research studies, develops prototypes, and produces and supports state-of-the-art, highly reliable communications and information systems that solve the mission-critical communications challenges of its military and government customers, as well as provides the technology base for the company's diverse commercial businesses.
Harris Corporation is an international communications equipment company focused on providing product, system, and service solutions for commercial and government customers. The company's five operating divisions serve markets for microwave, broadcast, network support, tactical radio, and government systems. Harris has sales and service facilities in more than 90 countries. Additional information about Harris Corporation is available at www.harris.com.

Note for TV and radio: The University of Pennsylvania has an on-campus satellite uplink facility with live-shot capability and an on-campus ISDN line.
Expert: Dr. Rudra Sil
Professor of Political Science
Co-director of the Huntsman Program in International Studies & Business
Dr. Sil is the author or editor of six books, including World Order After Leninism and Managing 'Modernity': Work, Community and Authority in Late-Industrializing Japan and Russia. He has written articles on various aspects of post-communist politics and political economy. At Penn, he teaches courses on Russian politics and Third World politics, as well as seminars on comparative politics and on the role of Brazil, Russia, India and China in globalization and development. He has been to Russia numerous times, most recently on the eve of the parliamentary elections of 2011.
Quote: "Although we are good at lecturing other countries on respecting international law, which is a noble pursuit in most circumstances, we are very bad in candidly acknowledging our limitations when dealing with messy crises that break out in faraway lands. In relation to Ukraine and Crimea, whatever one's view of Vladimir Putin, there are a lot of things that the American public ought to be honestly told beyond the inflammatory stories of how a big, bad ex-KGB spy is resurrecting the Soviet Union and instigating a new cold -- or hot -- war in Europe.
"We need a more sober and nuanced analysis of events that led up to the current crisis -- the views and actions of different opposition groups on the Maidan, the behavior of a rump parliament in repealing local language laws rather than tackling a serious economic crisis and the 'blowback' from our own efforts to set up leaders in Ukraine who would be more responsive to our agenda."
Expert: Dr. Julia Gray
Assistant Professor of Political Science
Dr. Gray is the former managing editor of Transitions Online, a magazine that covers news in the post-communist countries of Europe and the former Soviet Union. She specializes in international relations with a focus on the political effects of international economic agreements.
Quote: "It's ironic that international agreements are the source of Ukraine's current unrest -- especially since neither an association agreement with the EU nor a customs union with Russia will have a huge impact on the Ukrainian economy. Domestic discontent though is arising from the way that Ukraine is perceived in the international community and the direction that the country is headed."

CAMERON - Coach Mark Witzberger watched his heartbroken Cameron softball team walk off the field devastated following a hard-to-swallow extra-inning loss to Wheeling Central in a West Virginia Class A regional game last May.
So opening the 2012 campaign on a positive note was something that he and his Dragons were hoping for Thursday afternoon with Hundred paying a visit.
Needless to say, Cameron has put the past in the past and the Dragons appear ready to breath fire again this spring.
Senior standout Tara Paczewski spun a perfect game, striking out all nine hitters she faced, and classmate Cassidi Richmond blasted a pair of home runs and chased home five runs as the Dragons rolled to an impressive 14-0, three-inning, victory against the Hornets.
"It's real nice to open with a win, that makes everybody happy," Witzberger said. "Now we just need to keep going and build from there. Our main goal is to keep improving and be successful every day.
"I think there was a little bit of jitters as with any opener, but mainly because we did an awful lot of experimenting with things at practice. But you never know what is going to happy until the ball is put into play and you see it work."
Everything worked well from the beginning for Witzberger's bunch, with Paczewski fanning the first three batters she faced before the Dragons put up five runs in the bottom of the first to take command.
Richmond got things goings, ripping the first pitch she saw over the right fielder's head for a home run a quick 1-0 advantage. A bases loaded walk to Taylor Whipkey later in the frame made it 2-0 before Natalie Trowbridge belted a two-run single.
Ashley Berardi's run-scoring single capped the rally.
Things didn't get much better for coach Brian Bartlett's Hundred squad in the home-half of the second as the Dragons sent 13 batters to the dish and put up nine more runs.
The big blast was Richmond's grand slam deep over the left fielder's head that plated the final four tallies of the contest.
"Boy, that was sweet watching Cassidi Richmond hit two home runs to get us started," Witzberger smiled. "Overall, I think we ran the bases well and just got off to an great start. But I did take some notes and there are still some things to improve on."
Along with her nine strikeouts, on just 40 pitches, Paczewski also had a pair of singles, an RBI and was hit by a pitch. Whipkey added a base hit and plated a trio of runs.
"Tara did an outstanding job (Thursday)," Witzberger said. "We have asked her to really concentrate on the strike zone and there is no question that is what she did. It was also a nice to look out there and see our fielders ready on every play, even though she didn't allow them to get any opportunities."
Cameron will try to continue its early season success Monday afternoon when the Dragons travel to the J.C. Chambers I-470 Sports Complex to take on Bishop Donahue.

We're all guilty of the occasional pimple-squeezing session. To make things worse, we use our fingers to perform the function. Not only is that an easy way to introduce new bacteria, but we're practically asking for an acne scar. The good news? A little DIY facial work is okay if we use the right tools. This double-sided, no-slip skin care tool works to eliminate blackheads and whiteheads in a flash, leaving you with smooth skin.
Truly this is so much better for your face than squeezing or picking will ever be. I admit, it took me a while and few times experimenting with Tweezerman, but once I got, I couldn't believe how easy it is. I don't think one realizes just how much damage is caused to the face when picking with fingers. I did not realize until after using this. It's precise, puts just the right amount of pressure around just the right area, and expels what's clotting the pore. There is a brief amount of time that the area may be red or pink depending upon the amount of pressure used, but in my experience, it hasn't lasted more than 10 - 20 minutes. Picking, however, can leave a mark for a few days!
For all you "Pickers" out there......from one picker to another: you will still love to pick, you will just learn to do it without unnecessarily harming your skin. :)
I am one who if I see a blackhead, ingrown hair or anything else, I fixate on it until I can get rid of it. Using your fingers just promotes dirt being near a fresh opening-aka more problems in the future. This little tool has been great! I just keep it in my medicine cabinet for when I get out of the shower. Only issue is it will leave a little indentation on your skin, but goes away after a couple minutes. I just make sure to follow with spot treatment so I don't get further issues in the area!4
Great for pushing out a clogged pore that's been bugging you all day, or reaching that spot on your back. Tweezerman products come in nice, sturdy little cases. You can use this, disinfect it, then put it in the case so it stays clean. It's worth the money to keep germs off your face.5

La Isla in Ballard offers the home-style cooking of Puerto Rico without the cost of a flight to the island. Pollo Guisado, tostones, alcapurrias, gandules and dangerously good mojitos are among the offering in this restaurant filled with color, music and art.
Got tortilla fatigue? Suffering from enchilada excess or guacamole glut? La Isla has the cure: tostones, alcapurrias and gandules.
Say what?
Those are some of the specialties on the menu at this buoyant Ballard bar and restaurant, filled with color, music and art. The kitchen's strength is the home-style cooking of Puerto Rico, known affectionately as La Isla by residents and expats alike.
The island's cuisine is a stew of Taino Indian, African and European influences. A key flavor component is sofrito, a rough purée that typically involves garlic, peppers, tomatoes, onion, olives, capers and cilantro.

Sofrito Rico was this restaurant's name when it opened five years ago. It was re-christened La Isla when one the three original partners decamped.
Current owners Jason Mikos and Alfonso Gonzales expanded into the adjacent storefront last summer, which tripled the square footage and allowed room for an attractive bar, popular with a well-under-40 cohort who suck down icy tropical cocktails or sip one of the dozens of rums neat.
An informal survey one Friday night revealed that mojitos outnumbered beers by seven to one. They are dangerously good, muddled with lots of mint and enough lime to temper the sweet. A pal who once lived on the island's northwest coast took one sip of the intensely banana-flavored "Surfing Rincon" and suddenly she was 19 and back on the beach again.
Pollo Guisado sent me tripping down memory lane. Those sofrito-simmered skinless, boneless chicken thighs had the soft texture of my mother's "soup chicken" with flavor deeply embedded in every moist fiber.
Pulled pork (pernil) displayed similar character. Soft without being mushy, the taste is sweet, tangy and lush at once. It's very good baked in a casserole between layers of sweet plantain and mozzarella; even better packed into the puffy fried turnovers called empanadillas.
If you just want to wallow in a juicy pile of pulled pork, order the Pernil Special. Like every "Plato Principale" it comes with white rice, excellent red beans simmered in a sweet tomato sauce, a slice of ripe avocado and tostones, crispy disks of fried green plantain.
Tostones are ubiquitous. I grew very fond of slathering them with mojito sauce (mashed garlic, lemon juice, olive oil), mojito flamboyant (its red-pepper kin), and ajilimojili (garlic cream studded with onion and bell pepper).
Sauces are key condiments that round out a dish or provide an important flavor boost. Scoop up enough ajilimojili with your bacalaitos, and you won't notice the soft achiote-tinged salt cod pancakes are short on salt cod.
A splash of tart, chile-stoked pique sauce in a cup of asopao de mariscos sharpened the soup's already tangy tomato broth dense with salmon, shrimp, tubers and rice. As a dip for Alcapurrias, pique sauce lent a welcome jolt that countered the sweet, doughy shell of green banana, taro root and plantain encasing savory ground beef and sofrito.
Formed into cups, tostones accompany gandules dip, a vinaigrette-steeped mélange of chopped onion, cilantro, bell pepper and small round pigeon peas (gandules). It's the Puerto Rican equivalent of chips and salsa.
Substitute bits of salmon for pigeon peas, lime juice for vinegar, add jalapeños and habaneros and you have ceviche picante, though not picante enough to mask fish that tasted past its prime.
Grilled salmon was a little overcooked, but not as dry as the knife-challenging chuletas — deep-fried pork chops. The kitchen showed more finesse with lime-marinated catfish fingers (pez gato) delicately breaded and fried. Buttery sautéed prawns sauced with hot chili peppers and cool mango-mint salsa provided a tongue-thrilling tug of war.
Desserts fall on the soothing side, which is just what you want after a garlic-ridden meal. Cheesecake lovers will be drawn to a three-layered torte with a shortbreadlike base, guava filling and light, cream-cheese custard on top. The frillier tres leches cake is a moist, frosted, whipped cream-smothered crowd pleaser. A big scoop of excellent vanilla ice-cream comes with both.
Churros? Who needs them.

Sacramento Taxi Drivers Say English Test Requirement Is Setting Them Up For Failure « CBS Sacramento
SACRAMENTO (CBS13) — Taxi drivers required to pass an English test to renew their permits in Sacramento say they're being set up for failure.
Part of a newly passed ordinance that recently went into effect requires drivers to know a certain level of English. The city says the requirement came from passenger complaints.
"We received a number of complaints from passengers that they couldn't communicate with the driver of where they need to go and what they needed," said city revenue manager Brad Wasson.
The tests, one written and one digital, are required for a driver to renew their permit. In the first week, 18 of the 28 drivers failed at least one portion.
This is so entirely out of character for politically correct, hard left, progressive, multicultural Sacramento that the only thing I can imagine is that some powerful state legislators must have had run-ins with Mohamed the Cab Driver.

Jon Hamm Joining Sandra Bullock In Despicable Me Spinoff Minions
By Sean O'Connell 2013-04-30 15:11:19 comments
Heres an interesting turn of events. Despicable Me 2 hasnt reached theaters yet, but Universal Pictures is already gearing up for a spinoff film starring the yellow, goggle-sporting minions.
According to Deadline, Mad Men star and all-around versatile performer Jon Hamm will lend his voice to a character in the rapidly-developing Minions movie, which is targeting a December 19, 2014 release date. The trade notes that Hamm will star alongside Sandra Bullock, who was added to the voice cast earlier this year.
The source also has some new details about the plot. The premise used to establish Minions explains that the henchmen have been around for decades, and this story picks up in the 1960s, long before they teamed with Steve Carells Gru. Without a true evil leader to follow, three depressed minions go in search of a gig, and end up serving Scarlet Overkill (Bullock), a stylish, bad-ass super villain. Hamm, meanwhile, will voice Scarlets husband, Herb Overkill, an inventor.
Im on the fence when it comes to Minions. Its good news that Universal feels theres franchise potential in the series, and it probably means that Despicable Me 2 is very good if the studios willing to expand the brand. Obviously, the sequel due in theaters in July isnt going to poison the well, so to speak.
But when I hear that there will be a Minions spinoff, I view it as a possible Scrat spinoff from the Ice Age series. Do I like Scrat? Sure. Do I want him to have his own movie? No. Maybe the minions will have more to do. We shall see.
