With the premiere of Logo Television's new reality series The A List just a week away, we want to introduce you to the men who make up the cast of the show guaranteed to give the Real Housewives a run for their money!
Before facing the cameras on The A List, model Austin Armacost made tabloid headlines while dating famed fashion designer Marc Jacobs. After taking some time off in the lush English countryside, Austin returns to the Big Apple to try and resume his modeling career. Cute – and candid – Austin took some time to chat with us about the show, why he thinks he could be a great role model for teens and shares some of his workout tips. Get to know one of NYC's "model citizens"!
Socialite Life: I just saw the series premiere, and I just wanted to say I thought it was great!
Austin Armacost: I'm glad you liked it!
SL: Are you looking forward to the premiere?
Austin: Yes, very much so! You know, a lot of people have misconceptions that aren't in the business and don't realize that we actually see (the episode) the same time it's released on national television. So, I'm a bit anxious, but I know we made a really good TV show so I'm excited for it to get started and for the season to kick off.
There's lots more after the jump!
SL: How did you get involved with the show?
Austin: I read online about a year ago that they were casting for this
series called "Kept". I didn't really like the concept right off the bat
but I felt like I was the kind of person who would really be a great
asset to the world of reality television – so I decided to send in my
bio and a few pictures and I talked about my history with Marc and the
fabulous life that I lead (laughs). I got an email about 6 months later
from the casting director and he asked me to come out to New York for a
meeting and he told me that they were changing the whole concept of the
show. And when he told me about The A List and compared it to The Real
Housewives of Atlanta – it was the same production company. I love the
Real Housewives and I love the concept and the premise of the show and,
when I heard that, I did everything I could to get on board.
Especially where gay rights are right now in this country, I think it's
very important to have a show that looks into our lives and shows that
we're not freaks and child molesters and perverts – because I think
that's a heavy misconception right now in the world. I think it's a
really, really good time to have a program like this because so much is
happening with the gay rights movement. Obviously, there's going to be
some cattiness and bitchiness and stereotypes will be proved - and
broken – but it's six gay men, that's who we are, we're not anything but
that. Some of us are feminine, some of us are masculine – we show every
aspect of the homosexual male. We're not necessarily putting our best
foot forward – you know we can't always put the "good gays" at the front
of the line and say "Accept them. Accept them." We have arrived and we
should have equal rights and we're showing that every aspect of a gay
man needs to be accepted, whether they're feminine and they do makeup
and do their hair, you have to accept us as a whole.SL: You're aware that there's probably going to be a lot of females tuning in to the show – and you are quite handsome – how do you feel about being a sex symbol to straight women? Austin: You know, it's interesting because I've dabbled with women in the past and I would love for a high school girl in Kansas to have my picture hanging up in her locker. I think it would be really cool. I always promote safe sex and always have. I'm very responsible when I'm in a relationship. I'm monogamous and I have have very good morals and values when it comes to sex. I think what you'll see throughout the show is that I'm the first one at the party – I'm drinking and getting naked in the pool and I'm dancing around and having a great time – but it's interesting because I always go home alone. I don't promote random sex, I don't promote hooking up. It's not something I feel is very appropriate. I'm very old school – my mother and father have been together 30 years, happily married. And I think I could be a good influence on that 15 year old girl in the Midwest who is coming into liking boys and I've always said that safe sex is the way to go and birth control as well. It's so bizarre to me, especially in the heterosexual community, that people think that they can hook up and not use protection and they'll be fine. I read a statistic the other day that almost 3 out of 5 heterosexuals between 15 to 25 has an STD now and it's definitely time for a wake up call. At this point, the gay community practices more safe sex than the straight community as bizarre as that is, I think it's a good thing – and I'd love to be considered a sex symbol (laughs.) SL: Tell me a little about your background in modeling.Austin: I started modeling when I was 16. I lived about an hour south of Indianapolis and Chicago's only a four and a half hour drive. So I went up there when I was 16, started modeling, and the day after I graduated high school, I packed my whole life into my mini-van and drove up to Chicago, found an apartment and that's kind of when my professional career took off. I was there for a year and I was actually fired from my agency – it's a very long story – but my agency let me go and I got a call from an agent in New York City who was trying to get me out there for 6 months, but my agent in Chicago wouldn't allow it because he didn't think I was ready. So, I flew to New York and within five days, I was on the set of three different photo shoots, I had shot two commercials and my career just kind of took off. I started doing a few things that weren't very healthy to keep the weight off. I was exercising five hours a day…and most of the guys who work in New York in the fashion industry today, the high fashion models are naturally thinner guys – they have swimmers' builds and they're 6'2″ and they're just naturally thin guys. My Dad is 5'10″ and was a professional bodybuilder. So my body type is very stocky, very big-boned. So for me to get these high fashion jobs, I had to go above and beyond five times more than what these other, naturally thin guys were doing. I was very unhealthy to my body and I woke up one day and I started pissing blood and I said "This has got to be a wake up call." I moved back home to Indiana for a few weeks…and I'm a very spontaneous person and a friend of mine had just moved out to Los Angeles and I said "What the heck?" I'd never been out there and – even though I was getting clean off of drugs – the things I was doing in New York, partying and to keep my weight off I feel like it's not a geographical situation. If I'm partying in New York City and I move to Los Angeles if I quit in between that time it doesn't matter where I am, if I want to get drugs, I'll get drugs. So a lot of people were like "It's not a good decision. You just started getting sober. It's not a good decision for you to move out to Hollywood because it's all about drugs, sex and rock 'n' roll. And I said, "You know what? That doesn't matter to me because I'm very strong-willed. It doesn't matter where I am, if I wanted to get them, I could get them. So I moved to Los Angeles, I kind of took a sabbatical. I had made quite a lot of money from modeling, so I didn't need to get a job at a retail store to pay my rent. And I really just kind of bounced around for a year…and I've more recently been traveling back and forth between England and New York City. SL: Which do you prefer – England or New York?Austin: I absolutely hate New York City! It's a great place to come and make money, but, being from the country, from Indiana and staying in the English countryside. I'm 50 miles from Scotland, 25-30 miles from Manchester, I love my home in England. If I could live out the rest of my days anywhere, I would definitely choose Northern England for sure. It's beautiful, it's like living in a painting – the rolling hills, the greenery – it's so beautiful. I'm a very aesthetic person, I want to get into artistic direction for a designer and I actually have a meeting set up with Dean and Dan (Caten) of Dsquared2, an Italian fashion house – they actually live in London. So I have a meeting set up in a few weeks with them…and that's what really gets me going, beautiful things. I don't really think I can go anywhere in New York City and say "Wow, it's so beautiful here." You just cannot escape the noise and the crowds anywhere in Manhattan. When you go out to the Hamptons, of course it's beautiful out there – it's fantastic – but New York City and Manhattan, I don't feel like there's anywhere you can go to escape and kind of be on your own a bit.SL: What have you been doing to get back into model shape?Austin: I decided that I wanted to do it (lose weight) the healthy way so I've been working with a nutritionist and I've been working with a trainer. SL: I saw (on the first episode) you were training with some bouncy shoes – what the heck were those?Austin: They're called Kangoo Jumps and a friend of mine based in New York City is the US spokesmodel for them. They're very low impact and double the intensity of running because you're bouncing up and gravity's forced against you. When I go running through the streets of Manhattan in those things, every head turns. So not only is it fun and it's healthy to do, it's also like "Hey! Look at me! Look how cool I am!" (laughs). We'll go running through Times Square on a Friday night, at one in the morning, a big group of us and it's a very bizarre sight, but it's one of the best new exercise trends that I've come across and I completely love them. SL: On the first episode, you were smelling everybody…Austin: All I was trying to do was find out who was wearing the cologne! I smelled some very wonderful cologne, and I didn't know who it was, and nobody was admitting to it, so I decided to do some investigation myself – and figure out who was wearing it! SL: What's your favorite cologne?Austin: Oh, John Varvatos, hands down, every time. I will also have to say, going back to the old school days, I still love Curve. It's very high school, it's what I wore to my high school prom. And, when you get older, you start buying Burberrry and Gucci and Marc Jacobs cologne – your taste changes. Curve is kind of like a step up from Adidas, it's very inexpensive but it's wonderful. But, again, I have to say now, John Varvatos, hands down.SL: As a model, I know you're no stranger to having a camera in your face, but what was it like for you to have a camera crew following your every move for the show?Austin: You're always aware that they are there, but once…I mean, they couldn't have put together a better group of six guys – at the same time we're so cohesive but yet going against the grain with one another. I mean, everything you see is real – nothing's set up, the emotions are real. You'll see the whole gamut – we laugh together, we cry together, we fight – it's a whole range of emotions. The first couple of minutes we sit down to shoot a scene, you're aware of it, but after you get into it…we're all friends – kind of at this point – and once you get into a normal conversation, and you're so involved in the conversation that the cameras kind of fade away. Now, the first five, six, seven days we were shooting, I was so on edge, I was sweating like a whore in church because I thought "Oh, what if I say something wrong? What if I do this and it's embarrassing?" But the crew was fantastic, from the producers to the assistant producers to the sound girls and camera guys – it was so comfortable. And everybody was on their game. We knew we were out to make a television show – and we did it – and it ran so smoothly. I've never worked in this aspect of television – I've done some commercials in the past – but never a reality-type setting, so I have no basis for comparison. But I think they did a fantastic job from start to finish. It ran so smoothly, there were very few hiccups I think the fact that we had a great crew and a great cast. It was very natural, everything was real and, yeah, after first few seconds the cameras just fade away and you're having a cocktail with your buddies, talking about whatever we're talking about. SL: One last question, what does being "A list" mean to you?Austin: Oh, I hate this question (laughs). You know, I don't think being A List has anything to do with having tons of money and living in the best house and having designer clothes. I think it's kind of an attitude. When I was 200 pounds, and I was fat, and had no shape to my body, and I was living in Los Angeles and going to a pool party, I still had my Speedo on! It's a confidence, it's something you carry that says, "I'm the s**t. You know it, I know it. Let's keep it real" (laughs). Obviously, it's not a physical look, it's a lifestyle. I mean if you're going to fabulous parties and rubbing elbows with celebrities and drinking champagne, it's a lifestyle, it's not necessarily a manifestation of who you are, it's a lot of different aspects – how you live your life, how you interact with people. I think being A List you've got to be a good person. I've met very, very successful people who were, for lack of a better word, cocky bastards – and that doesn't fit in the A List at all. We're very charitable people – a lot of us are involved with different charities and different foundations, and we're giving back and it's a whole wide range of things to be A List. I mean, if someone asks me "Are you 'A List'?" I don't think I would ever say "yes". I'm on this television show and it's titled The A List, but it's a lifestyle and very few people have been fortunate enough to have the life that I lead and the lives my five fellow cast members lead, but you know, we're very lucky people and I've been very blessed. When I wake up in the morning and my feet hit the floor, I don't take that day for granted. I think, "What can I do today to make me a better person? Make my life better? Make my relationships progress?" I have tattooed on my back "No Day But Today" and I make the best of every 24 hours I'm given.Check out Austin and all of the A Listers on the series premiere of The A List – Monday, October 4th at 10pm on Logo!

United Food Bank Receives a $25,000 Grant from Bank of America
Arizona- September 1, 2011– The Bank of America Charitable Foundation just awarded United Food Bank a $25,000 grant to aid in its work of feeding the hungry in Arizona. This money comes at a critical time for the food bank as the hunger crisis in America continues to rise, with staggering numbers in Arizona specifically.
The most recent study on Child Food Insecurity in the U.S. states that 24.2% or nearly 1 in 4 Arizona children under the age of 18 are experiencing food insecurity. More and more, families are forced to make tough decisions like choosing to pay for food or pay their mortgage or rent. In the 2010 Hunger in America Report, nearly 70% of Arizonans interviewed said that it was their first time they had ever applied for food assistance.
"Bank of America recognizes that our nation will not recover economically until its most vulnerable communities and residents can recover. That is why supporting critical nonprofit leaders such as United Food Bank is so important in today's challenging times when demand for basic needs is at record levels. Our grant provides capacity for United Food Bank to improve more lives and make a difference across the state," said Benito Almanza, Arizona president, Bank of America.
This grant from Bank of America will support United Food Bank's operations this fiscal year, including helping to acquire, process and distribute food to partner agencies; expand food programs; and increase community outreach and nutrition education.
"We could not do what we do without the support of foundations like the Bank of America Fund," says Bob Evans, President and CEO of United Food Bank. "We are seeing increased need and a new face of hunger in this erratic economy. We want to make sure we are increasing our reach, and we cannot do that without help."
About United Food Bank
United Food Bank is a private nonprofit organization that provides hunger relief/food assistance by collecting, acquiring, storing and distributing food and related commodities through a network of partner social services agencies in the East Valley, eastern Maricopa County, Gila and Pinal Counties and southern Apache and Navajo Counties. United Food Bank receives the prestigious four-star rating from Charity Navigator, an independent charity evaluator, for its efficiency. For more information visit www.unitedfoodbank.org.

In his first year at UAB, Anderson was part of a staff that led the Blazers to the school's first-ever Conference USA Tournament Championship and an impressive, 60-59, win against No. 3 seed Iowa State in the second round of the 2015 NCAA Tournament.
A 2011 graduate of Clemson, Anderson went to The Citadel after spending two seasons as a graduate assistant under Shaka Smart at VCU.
Anderson was part of a VCU staff that advanced to the third round of the NCAA Tournament during the 2011-12 and 2012-13 seasons. He assisted Smart and his staff in the development of players such as Darius Theus (CAA Tournament MVP, 2011-12; Lefty Driesell Defensive All-America Team, 2012-13) and Melvin Johnson (Atlantic-10 All-Rookie Team, 2012-13).
Anderson was involved in the day-to-day operations of the Rams' basketball program. He also assisted in the preparation of film and scouting reports and aided the coaching staff during practices and drills.
A walk-on at Clemson, Anderson appeared in 56 games, scored 47 points, handed out 44 assists and forced 26 steals during his four-year career. During his senior season in 2010-11, he earned the Most Improved Player Award due in large part to playing the most minutes of any walk-on in Tigers history. He made four starts for former head coach Oliver Purnell and was part of a Clemson team that finished 22-12 en route to winning its first NCAA Tournament game in 14 seasons.

An epic fight has gripped our office for the last few days, as polarized sides have hardened and dug in. No, it isn't in reference to the upcoming Republican or Democrat Conventions, but rather to a more important age-old question: Who would win in a fight, a lion or tiger? Now, a quick trip to Google will provide you with a plethora of ammunition no matter which side of the fight you take, but there are many variables at play here.
"Lions and tigers each have their strengths, and "the outcome of a given fight completely depends on the individuals: their history, fighting style and physiology," said Craig Saffoe, a noted tiger sympathizer, biologist and the curator of great cats at the Smithsonian Zoo in Washington, D.C. in a recent Huffington Post article. "But if I had to put my money on it I would give the advantage to the tiger," Saffoe continued.
Now this Mr. Saffoe is obviously a shill for Tigers, especially since he says that the fight depends on the individual but would "put his money" on the tiger in some kind of blanket statement. Well, let's see it Mr. Saffoe. You get the biggest, baddest tiger you know and meet me at Michael Vick's house, where I am currently training my lion.
Seriously though, throughout history Lions have repeatedly demonstrated their superiority. Here are ten reasons why Lions are superior in all aspects of life, from Hollywood to the plains of Africa and all stops in between. And I state unequivocally as an expert in lions that a lion would beat a tiger so mercilessly that you would hear the whimpering for miles.
Lions are social and live in prides
Put simply, lions have friends while tigers are losers. Lions are uniquely social among felines and they live in prides with other lions, while tigers roam around all alone complaining that they have no one to go out with on Friday nights. If you weren't such jerks, tigers, maybe you would have more friends.
Snoop Lion and Haile Selasse
Snoop Dogg recently changed his name to Snoop Lion in a nod to Rastafarianism and Emperor Haile Selasse, embracing the lion as his new moniker. The only rapper I am aware that is named after a tiger is Tyga, who isn't as bad as Drake or Kanye West, but he is certainly no Snoop Dogg. I mean Snoop Liony Lion. Of course Snoop also stated he was Bob Marley reincarnated, which is a little difficult since Marley was alive at the same time as Snoop, but then again Snoop has puffed a few over the years.
The Detroit Lions are the superior NFL team to the Cincinnati Bengals
It is frustrating that the Detroit Lions and Cincinnati Bengals will not meet during the 2012 NFL season, however, most sane NFL fans will agree that the Lions' quarterback Matthew Stafford is superior to the Bengals quarterback "Raggedy" Andy Dalton. The Lions also have the best receiver in football, Calvin "Megatron" Johnson, while the Bengals have A. J. Green, a good receiver but no match for Johnson. While the Bengals lead the all-time series against the Lions 7-3, the tide has turned and the Detroit Lions are now the superior team.
Disney's Lion King and Jungle Book cast lions as kings and tigers as evil
One of the greatest Disney movies of all time, The Lion King, centers on Simba's rise to power as he conquers his evil uncle Scar to assume the responsibility of not only a pride of lions, but also thousands of other animals who actually bow down to this Lion King. In the Jungle Book, Shere Khan is an evil tiger who repeatedly attempts to kill a defenseless child, Mowgli, but is thwarted by other jungle animals like Balu the bear and Bagheera the panther who come to Mowgli's aid. Hardly the stuff of royalty, Shere Khan's reprehensible villainy contrasts sharply with the kingly Simba.
There are no tigers on Broadway
The Lion King's success on the screen was eventually adapted to the stage, and is currently a top-selling theatric production on Broadway. It's no surprise that a story about a lion, a majestic and highly respected animal, made it to Broadway while the curt, short-tempered and uncivilized tiger didn't make it out of the jungle. Can you imagine a play about Shere Khan? It would be like the character of Roy Cohn in Tony Kushner's Angels in America.
Leo Constellation
Now I'm not just saying this because my astrological sign happens to be Leo, but it certainly is one of the best collections of stars since The Expendables 2. Now I realize that the tiger has some constellation in Chinese astrology, but it pales in comparison with the majestic lion. Also, it took Hercules to put that lion in the sky, which I will delve into momentarily.
Lions have been the true test of strength throughout history, from Samson to Hercules and more
Samson, inarguably the strongest man in history until he got a haircut, proved his strength by killing a lion with his bare hands and then killing tons of Philistines with the jawbone. While the Bible doesn't mention it, Samson also killed many tigers but it wasn't until he killed the lion that he gained his reputation. Hercules, who is also a legendary symbol of strength, also killed a lion and put the lion in the sky. Daniel withstood the lions' den, a notorious pit of danger to prove his religious meddle. The point is that if you want to get a reputation, you kill a lion, the ultimate test of strength. If you kill a tiger, no one is impressed.
Lions are the undisputed king of the jungle and king of beasts
I never hear people refer to tigers as 'kings' of anything, let alone the jungle. Lions don't even live in jungles and still rule over them as monarchs. Every wildebeest that crosses the plains of Africa through the baobab trees has to pay a tariff to whichever lion that controls that specific territory. In fact, tigers had to move north to the frigid tundra where polar bears rule, and accept a position as the second-most ferocious animal in the climactic region.
The Lion of Judah: King David, Solomon and Jesus all belong to the tribe of Judah
The most celebrated of the 12 tribes of Israel, the tribe of Judah, uses the lion as its symbol. King David, who killed a giant with a stone, and his son King Solomon, the wisest man in the world, were both members of this lion-clad tribe. In fact, the book of Revelations even calls Jesus "The Lion of Judah." Even thinly-veiled allusions to the Bible, like C. S. Lewis' The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, feature the protagonist Aslan as a lion, who rises from the dead three days after being crucified. If you crucified a tiger, it would remain dead for eternity and engender the scorn of the WWF.
Lions are symbols of iconic companies like MGM while tigers sell sugar cereal to your children
Everyone recalls the roar of the MGM lion as they settle in to watch a movie. The iconic lion tilts back his kingly head and roars ferociously, letting the world know who the true king of the beasts is. In a sharp contrast to this, tigers are huge sellouts, none more disgusting than Tony the Tiger, who plays sports with children while attempting to sell them Frosted Flakes. Frosted Flakes, while obviously full of empty calories and gobs of sugar, are also one of the worst sugar cereals around. Even if Tony sold Captain Crunch, I could cut him some slack, because Captain Crunch is Grrrrreat. Frosted Flakes? Not so much.
I hope this has thoroughly convinced you that lions are vastly superior to tigers in every way, and would beat the sh*t out of a tiger if they met in the street. However, I will offer one caveat, and that is that Hobbes, the stuffed tiger of Calvin & Hobbes fame, is pretty cool. But other than that, lions remain the king of the jungle. Even Tiger Woods fell from grace.

TANMS researchers have used an electric field to turn a magnetic field on (left) and off (right). They measured this effect in a ferromagnetic thin film on top of a piezoelectric substrate, using a magnetic force microscope.
At left, the dark lines represent magnetic north poles emanating from the ferromagnetic thin film, and the light lines represent magnetic south poles. At right, an electric field is applied to the piezoelectric substrate, and the lines vanish, meaning that the magnetic field is no longer present.
The researchers will expand on this ability to control magnetic fields in nanostructured ferromagnetic elements in the work of the TANMS Nanosystems Engineering Research Center. TANMS seeks to integrate newly discovered large-effect multiferroic materials into electromagnetic devices, thereby enabling chip-scale generation of magnetic fields through the simple application of a voltage. Their research could lead to transformations in memory systems, antenna systems, and nanomotor systems.Credit: Ray C. J.

Police close to identity of teenage girl killed by train at Yarnbrook (From This Is Wiltshire)
Police close to identity of teenage girl killed by train at Yarnbrook
11:53am Friday 17th January 2014 in By Craig Jones
British Transport Police is still working to identify the teenage girl who was killed after being hit by a train in Yarnbrook on Wednesday night.
The incident happened at the Aintree Avenue crossing at around 8.20pm and it is believed the teenager lived in the area.
A British Transport Police (BTP) spokesperson said: "We are still carrying out door-to-door enquiries but we believe the victim was a 16-year-old girl.
"We are still investigating the incident but we believe we are not a million miles away from identifying her."
Initially on Wednesday evening, Wiltshire Police were called to a report of a missing person in the area and it is thought the two incidents may be connected.
Any witnesses can call BTP on 0800 40 50 40, quoting incident 520 of January 15, 2014.

With Respect, I suggest that whilst the Wiltshire Times may have a right to Report, it would be appreciated to see them use "quotes" in a far more compassionate and circumstantially appropriate manner ?
Behind every death, regardless of the cause or reason for, there is a Family and Friends trying to come to terms with and cope with their loss..

Exactly how do they claim this "Sell Out" streak when they announced that last night's game was the highest paid attendance in fenway since the end of WWII?
Did they suddenly add more seats overnight?
From ESPN.com
The paid attendance of 38,422 was the largest at Fenway Park since the end of World War II. The previous top paid attendance was 38,347 on May 21, 2009, for a 5-1 win over the Toronto Blue Jays.

With nearly 800 employees serving three regional campuses, FMO was by far thelargest department at the university, performing essential groundskeeping,maintenance, and repair services. But several members of the FMO workforce weren'tcomputer literate and needed to strengthen basic skills such as mathematics andreading comprehension. Strategic planning within the department in the mid-1990sforecasted that these skills would have to improve in order for the department'scontinued success.
"We were implementing new computerized work-order, time and attendance,and scheduled-maintenance systems," explains Carol Trexler, facilitiespersonnel and training administrator, "so we needed improved skills and jobflexibility, including computer literacy, among our workers at FMO. We know thatif we're not providing the service the university expects, the school can goto outside sources for their facilities-management needs."
In bringing the FMO department more in line with the expectations of theuniversity, HR needed first to evaluate workers' existing skills, establishappropriate skill levels for specific tasks, and determine employees'readiness for training. To do this, HR enlisted the help of Work Keys, acomprehensive work assessment created by Iowa City-based nonprofit testdeveloper ACT Inc.
The Work Keys system first profiles specific jobs to determine the skilllevels employees need to do those jobs effectively. It then assesses the skilllevels of current employees, identifies skill gaps that need to be filled withadditional training, and implements customized training programs to helpemployees reach their desired skill levels.
FMO prepares to learn
Before beginning the assessment, HR also had to consider the concerns of theunions, which has the membership of two-thirds of the department's workforce.Ensuring union support was essential to employee buy-in of assessment andtraining. So HR at Rutgers' FMO department asked the union president to sit onan advisory committee to determine the best course of action.
"The union was afraid that a skills assessment might violate workers'confidentiality," says Trexler. "But we made it clear that anyassessment scores would be used for training purposes only, and we guaranteedworker confidentiality by arranging to receive only aggregate scores ofassessments."
With that assurance, the New Jersey Department of Labor threw its fullsupport behind the assessment and training effort. "Partnering with theDepartment of Labor was a great idea, because the employees felt their rightswere protected from the start," adds Trexler.
With the union's assistance, the DOL began testing employees. Personnel andtraining coordinator Jill Rogers says, "Up until then, there hadn't beena great effort to actually get a handle on the skill levels of the staff -- wedidn't have a way to do that. But this way we have a knowledge of ouremployees' skill levels, as well as the data to back up the need fortraining."
In all, 17 positions needing skills upgrades were profiled, with the peoplein the positions answering questions about their work. Says Trexler, "TheWork Keys system has eight core skill areas to assess: applied mathematics,applied technology, listening, locating information, observation, reading forinformation, teamwork, and writing. Obviously it isn't always appropriate toassess them all, so the employer chooses which are most pertinent. In our case,we assessed teamwork for every position we profiled, because our goal is to haveall our workers functioning effectively as a knowledgeable team."
Once the profiles were finished, Work Keys assigned numbers to the skilllevels needed for each position. For example, entry-level math for agroundskeeper might be assigned level four, while optimal performance for thatposition might be level six. Aggregate scores showed where to target the mosttraining, while protecting the employees' privacy. Then HR set up trainingsoftware that coordinated with the Work Keys assessments to get workers'skills up to optimal performance levels.
In implementing the training, the FMO department found funding to build a16-station computer lab. The university also provided funding for an instructorto facilitate the self-paced computer-training programs. "We needed aninstructor whose skills were as sharp as knowing her name, because these classesare especially fast-paced for the instructor," says Rogers.
Learn at your own pace
Workplace educator and instructor Elvira Katic explains, "I create ablanket curriculum and usually start with stand-up instruction in generalproblem areas, but since the classes are self-paced and everyone has a differentskill level, I really have to personalize the training to each student."
The fact that the students are adult learners presents a challenge. Thoughskills assessments are mandatory, training is not, so motivation is important."I make sure they know they don't have to work up to any certainstandard," says Katic. "They work at their own pace, and when they'reready, they go on." Rogers says, "The point of the training is to getthe employees to go at their own pace and improve, so it's an extremelynon-threatening environment. That's the main reason we've been sosuccessful, because we've been able to create that atmosphere."
Both Rogers and Katic credit the department's support of the program."It was apparent that management supported our efforts overwhelmingly --not only financially, but in terms of time," comments Rogers. Employees aremotivated by the fact that their learning is done on the university's time,which provides a training opportunity they might not otherwise be able to take."The training is a benefit, but many FMO employees work two jobs,"says Rogers. "So the idea of improving their skills on their own time isjust impossible. But this way, they can attend training as part of the work theydo."
So far, the targeted, self-paced approach to training has vastly improvedworker morale, as well as raising the skill levels of over 300 workers out ofthe 500 qualified for training. "It was a big investment, but well worthit," comments Rogers. "Right now, we have waiting lists for all thetraining courses we offer."
The FMO department plans to set up another computer lab as soon as space andfunds become available. Currently it is putting together supervisory classes, aswell as juggling the demand for more computer-literacy classes. "You neverknow whether training will be a success or a failure," comments Trexler,"but the gratifying thing is that this targeted training has attracted somuch attention from everyone in the department -- mechanics, groundsworkers,even the most computer-phobic [employees] are lining up to be in the trainingclasses."
Most important, a new culture of learning has emerged in the FMO department."I've seen a renewed interest in learning," Trexler says. "Youcan offer workshops and mandate attendance, but when you reach the point wheretraining is voluntary and people can pick and choose their own skills to improveand find success, you create a new environment of learning." Adds Katic:"Our students are coming in excited to learn, and they stay in the classesto help themselves."

Well, first of all, I'm really sorry for neglecting this blog for so long. I've been cleaning up my drafts to get ready for a fresh new start, and couldn't bear to delete this one. I truly like the photos I took here.
But I'm kinda not in the mood to write about a trip that happened so long ago, and I've kinda forgotten about it also. I wouldn't do it justice, so I'm just gonna put these photos up here and hope they take you with me on a summer trip long ago, and paint the story that my words failed to do.

I'm trying to get a Java Client to communicate with a WCF wshttpbinding WebService. But I am unable to do so. The call either hangs, or I get "musunderstoodheader expcetions".
My Web Service is just the default Visual Studio generated "WCF Service Library Template".
My Web Service Client is just a blank IntelliJ project, with the corresponding stub generated using "Add Web Service Client" (the webservice platform specified is JAX-WS 2.X).
When I change my binding to BasicHttpBinding everything works flawlessly.
I've tried playing with the WsHttpBinding configuration, including turning off security, but I've had no success.
Suggestions ? Thoughts ? Is the WsHttpBinding only partially supported by JAX-WS 2.0?

What is in this article?:
- Almond crops keep getting bigger, better
- Prices remain respectable
- The final figure for California won't be known until the current almond marketing year ends. But, a crop of this size would surpass the record 1.62 billion-pound crop which growers produced in 2010.
Prices remain respectable
Although prices for the 2011 almonds have slipped some lately from levels earlier this marketing year, they remain respectable. Depending on size, Nonpareil, the industry standard, has been trading in the $1.90 - $2.40-per-pound range, Kelley notes. However, as usual with a large crop, finding large count sizes in this crop that fetch a premium is proving challenging. Meanwhile, prices for California varieties have held their own, selling from about $1.50 a pound to $1.60.
"To come off a crop as large as this one and still have prices at these levels is really fantastic," Kelley says. "It reflects the record volume of shipments that are going out." In fact, he notes, the industry broke shipping records for each of the first four months of the 2011 marketing year. The California Almond Board's shipments during that period totaled 710.3 million pounds, an 11.1-percent increase over the same period in 2010.
"October was the first time the industry shipped more than 200 million pounds of almonds in a single month, and we did it again in November," Kelley says. "Although these levels suggest that quality could be limited when we get into the summer months, selling all of the 2011 crop shouldn't be a problem."
However, adequate supplies of water to grow the 2012 crop could be. "Up until the rain in mid-January, we've been on track to having the driest year in the San Joaquin Valley since the mid-1920s," Kelley says. "That's spooky. There's a lot of new wood on the trees this season and that bodes well for a good nut set. But, right now, I think the biggest thing on growers' minds is the lack of rain so far this winter."

This book casts a spellPosted On: Aug 20, 2012 In: In the Spotlight, Staff Picks
Tessa Gratton's new book, The Blood Keeper, will not disappoint those readers who enjoyed Blood Magic, her first book. Written in the same style and featuring some of the same characters, the story includes bringing to life a malevolent golem, lots of magical spells involving blood and salt and possession by spirits of wizards from the past. As she did in her first book, Gratton weaves the spells in such a way that readers can believe that they, too, could bring an entity made of mud and leaves and the heart of a deer to life if only they gave it a try. Gratton can certainly craft a lovely sentence and this talent is showcased best in the flashback letters that fill in bits of past history. And the local setting will be familiar to many. – Randi, Circulation
If you would like to see Tessa Gratton in person, come to the library this Saturday, August 25 @ 2:00 p.m. She will be joined by her co-authors Maggie Stiefvater and Brenna Yovanoff (The Merry Sisters of Fate), for the premiere of their new book The Curiosities!

The other night my girlfriend referred to my bike as "Rick". I am not quite sure why she did this. I will be calling the institutions tonight. So, I guess my bike now has a name. Has anyone else taken the time to name their ride?
The other night my girlfriend referred to my bike as "Rick". I am not quite sure why she did this. I will be calling the institutions tonight. So, I guess my bike now has a name. Has anyone else taken the time to name their ride?
Can't say that I have done this but plan on going out tonight to buy a baby name book for reference
My bikes share one common name:
Go Damnit Go!
Sprint Damnit Sprint!
Little Chain Ring Damnit!
The plural of "anecdote" is not "data".
An ex-girlfriend once named one of my saxophones Buster, but I haven't named the new ride yet. I wonder if I still have her number...
Orange one
Other Orange One
Green one
Other Green One
Black one
The Clown Bike
Most of my friends call my mt. bike "My Obsession". I guess I need therapy...
I call my Giant Iguana "the Iguana" and my old Nishiki Century "the Nishiki."
I feel pretty unimaginative after seeing the lovely lively names above.
On the other hand, my bikes have enough ideas of their own, without getting more of them by having names.
I have named my Trek 2200..."My Baby!" and my Kona Pohoehoe..just that "The Pohoehoe"
I call my old Fisher Marlin my Fish.
I haven't named my new Trek yet. I'm tempted to stencil a name on it if I paint it. Trek 6700fx sounds like a droid from star wars or something. I do sometimes call my Trek an alumnum can.
Let's See. I haven't really ever named my bikes before, but if I did they would all have to be feminine and as a default should all have Mistress as a surname since if I'm not with my wife I'm with one of them.
To start with, my Cannondale Hardtail with the the blue to white fade and the red stripes, I'd call her Mistress Betsy, for Betsy Ross obviously!
The Specialized P.3 Centerfold, she matte black with Red Decals and Red components. I'd call her Mistress Brenda, the Bad Bi*ch! I should call her Lisa who is an old girlfriend and is a bi*ch. But I still like to ride Brenda and not Lisa.
My Haro Track-Trail 2.2 24" BMX Cruiser, I can't think of a name yet because I just got her. I'm thinking of ball-buster, or nut-******* or the like due to practice last night. Ouch!! She's also black frame with red/white decals. Maybe I should call her Bad Betty, but that has conotations of Gary Fisher's Level Betty so I think not! Any suggestions?
What else? My GT-BMX Speed Series 20" doesn't have a name either. She's rough and tough, but always takes care of me.
My road bike. It's in pieces right now, so I wouldn't want to name that bike. Someone might suggest naming her after my wife since I have so many bikes (mistresses) they might get the idea my marriage is in pieces as well. Although not the case. If it were, she would be having extra-marital affairs with three bikes of her own. I wonder if she names hers after men? Hmmm.

I mostly favor horse names.

Bikes I no longer have:

Naming my bikes is an ordeal. Usually the name comes to me during a too-long summer ride when I'm semi-delirious with heat and dehydration.
I like the "Rocinante" name (noticed it in one of your posts the other day). It reminds me I need to read Don Quixote. I downloaded it in English but always have this feeling I ought to read it in Spanish--which would probably take me about 120 years.Originally posted by roadbuzz

My Trek hybrid is called Rainbike, since that's what it does, and my purplish Trek roadbike is named l'aubergine... because Purple People Eater would be too insincerely americaine for me to get away with. Perhaps not the best names, but descriptive, at the least.
I did once own a Lambretta 150 named Beatrice, or "Triza," after my cousine, of whom I had an adolescent crush (the girl, not the scooter.)
I find it difficult to bond with vehicles that have not been named, and the many nameless bikes & motos of my past just fade away...
I call my Pinarello Bike, "Honey", sometimes my wife really gets upset
"Racso", the well oiled machine;)
The IF is called "Dreamcycle"(rhymes with "Popsicle").
My Terry Flora is "Little Pony" cuz she is my little (14") steed.
Been waiting for this thread as what (if) you name your bike, it really says something special.
My newest ride is called "Siren", as her song calls to me from great distances to lure me into the woods and dance with her.
My Schwinn Traveler from may years ago was named "Amanda" after a special girlfriend of many years.
My Gitane was named "Lisa" after another special woman in my life because she was racy and fast and sleek. Just like the real thing.
My Trek 7000 never earned a name. Something about that bike just never spoke to me. I am in the process of converting it into my city bike, so maybe then the magic will arise.
Figured I would come back to RF cause I don't get enough ***** about being overweight anywhere else...

Alas, my highly modified Giant Cypress does not yet have a name. Wait! I just thought of one! I have always thought if I bought a boat, I would name it "Infinite Jest", so my bike is officially - Yorick! Tadaaa! Thanks guys and gals for for making me focus on this and name him. I truly have been trying to think of one, but these things require the proper inspiration. So, as someone said in another thread, you are my inspiration.
If it ain't broke, mess with it anyway!

Social School of Retail
Since 2010, Walmart Institute has developed the Social School of Retail, which focuses on providing young people ages 17-29 with the professional training they need to work in retail jobs. In partnership with local governments, the program served around 1,500 young people – 64% of them women – in six Brazilian states in 2012.
Walmart Institute was recognized by the Walmart Foundation, which acknowledged this program as a global best practice within the company and started a process to replicate the program in other countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America.
Bombando Cidadania
For more than four years, the Bombando Cidadania citizenship program has
promoted the local development of the Bomba do Hemetério district of
the northern zone of Recife in Pernambuco state. During this time, we've
invested BRL5.6 million in 30 projects focused specifically on
education, culture, entrepreneurialism, income creation, communication
and the environment.
Environmental Responsibility
Renewable energy
Our stores officially began their migration to renewable energy in 2012, a move in which 49 units drew a portion of their energy consumption from small hydroelectric plants and biomass. We plan to expand the program's reach to 97 stores in 2013, accounting for about 40% of our total consumption. This change will also eliminate the need for diesel generation at peak periods, which will reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and air and soil pollution.
Producer's Club
Over the past decade, our Producer's Club has grown to 10,500 households
in 12 Brazilian states. It's become an important channel to promote
income generation for small and mid-sized producers by providing a chain
of Walmart Brazil stores they can sell their products to directly. In
2012, about 52% of the fruit and vegetables sold at our stores was
sourced directly from producers, almost 23% of them small and
medium-sized farmers. The program has also helped achieve the aim of the
federal government's Brazil Without Hardship project to lift 16.2
million people out of extreme poverty.
Plastic bag waste
We reduced the amount of disposable plastic bags distributed in our
stores by 50% in 2012. A number of programs contributed to the reduction
of approximately 1.4 million bags or 5,100 tons of plastic, including
our program, "Responsible Customers Deserve a Discount." It offers a
discount of BRL0.03 on every five products bought by consumers who don't
use a plastic bag. The total value of this benefit came to BRL1.06
million, equivalent to 30 million plastic bags. From 2009 to 2012, we
reduced the consumption of one-time-use plastic shopping bags by 100
Corporate Responsibility
100 Women in Leadership
In 2012, more than 102 women completed our 100 Women in Leadership program, which aims to prepare associates for the first and second levels of leadership in retail and wholesale. The program is divided into theoretical modules, on-the-job and supervised training, food safety audits, management development seminars and more. Of the 102 women who participated, 50% were promoted and 18% were waiting for new positions.
Women Council
During 2012, Walmart Brazil's board of women, formed by 11 professionals
from different areas of the company, led important actions to the
development of talent and career, as the Mentoring Program for Women and
as well as the training program of 100 Women in Leadership. 40 of our
female managers and directors participated in the Investing in Women
Leaders: A Positive Change conference, hosted by Walmart and the
International Women's Forum. Another group of associates attended the
Advancement of Women Conference, an event organized by Working Mother
Media to focus on diversity and women's development.

Calling the Britain-India relationship special, British Prime Minister David Cameron Monday began his India visit by emphasising that both countries should remove barriers to cooperation and make it easier to invest in each other.
In a bid to woo Indian investors, Cameron announced that London will introduce a same-day visa service for businesses as we want you to come to our country quickly to invest in our country.
He said this is the time to forge partnerships as the British economy is starting to recover from difficulties of the last two years and the Indian economy pushes ahead to be one of the great powerhouses of the future.
What we can achieve from this visit is both for the British side and the Indian side to look at any barriers there are to cooperation between us and work together to remove those barriers. That is the spirit with which I come to India on this visit, he said, addressing Indian and British business leaders.
Cameron said as Britain is looking to bring down barriers, we want the Indian government to continue to open up barriers and make it easier to do business here. We have to make sure that just as we welcome Indian investments into the UK, it is easier for British companies to invest in this vibrant and fast growing economy. This is Camerons second visit to India since assuming office in 2010 and the biggest delegation that has left British shores.
Cameron said India is planning to add 40 million seats in its universities as well as double its spending on health, and Britain wants to help with both. There is no limit to the number of Indian students who can study at British universities and to the number that could stay and work, he added.
I know that Indian business and the Indian government want more investment, more technology transfer, including at the highest level. We are going to be rewriting our rules on high-level technology that we are prepared to share with our Indian partner, he added.
Cameron spoke of cooperation with India on all fronts, including business, health, infrastructure and education. On all the aspects of future development in India, the infrastructure that you are going to build or some of the exciting proposals we are looking at together, like the corridor between Mumbai and Bangalore, we want to explore that with you, he said.
The Britain-India relationship is not just

The costumes were great and the feats of strength, balance and control were wonderful.
The National Acrobats of China troupe was founded more than 50 years ago and ranks as one of the most influential acrobatic troupes in the world. The company has taken part in the foremost international acrobatic competitions and festivals since the 1980s, and has enthralled audiences in more than 30 countries. These rigorously trained performers often use objects of daily life—chairs, tables, poles, ladders, bowls, plates, bottles, and jars—as props in shows that feature an eye-popping array of acrobatics, contortionism, martial arts, drumming, and dance. Their precise movements and flexible showmanship combine for unforgettable displays of magic and wonder.

The following information was provided during a 28 August 1996 telephone interview with a representative of the Embassy of Thailand in Ottawa.
The representative stated that a person holding a permanent visa is still considered a foreigner in Thailand. The holder of a permanent visa can apply for citizenship to the Ministry of the Interior, travel abroad and return to Thailand and send his/her children to school. The person can receive a work permit by applying to the Ministry of Labour in Thailand.
The representative stated that foreigners in Thailand do not require a permanent visa to marry Thai citizens.
The representative added that inter-faith marriages are common in Thailand. Buddism is an open and tolerant religion which does not require a person of another faith to convert upon marrying a Buddist. The representative added that there is an important and prosperous Punjabi and Sikh community in Thailand.
This Response was prepared after researching publicly accessible information currently available to the DIRB within time constraints. This Response is not, and does not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim to refugee status or asylum.

PushPlay movies on line - buyer beware!

PushPlay's offer is enticing but be sure read the fine print about your "FREE" 5 day trial period.If you can find it...
Tons of links on their site that never really go to a movie that you can watch.
They ask you to give credit card information and say they won't charge you anything. However, if you don't cancel at the end of 5 days they will start automatically billing your credit card at $39.00 per month.
I was lucky and got out before they could do that.( They charged me a buck to cancel...)Report

On 9/29/13 while searching the net for free information on Epic Nurse charting. I was directed to Lush Play for the free material. On the initial page I was asked for my credit card and the site stated in bold lettering "YOU WILL NOT BE CHARGED ANYTHING" and that the reason they were asking for your credit card, was to verify who you are. After entering my information I went to the next page and there it was...I was given 4 membership options...one was a free 5 day trial....I did not choose any of the options given...I immediately exited the system....essentially I opted out choosing NO MEMBERSHIP! 12 hours later on 9/30/13 I noted a 1.00 charge from my bank account by Lush Play...I immediately called them and asked them what the charge was and Ebony at Lush play told me that the 1.00 charge was a pre approval charge for my membership...I said WHAT MEMBERSHIP? I DID NOT APPROVE A MEMBERSHIP!! I was then forced to cancel a membership that I did not approve! And it will take 24 hours for the 1.00 to be put back into my account! Lush Play must be a very terrible service if they have to LIE, STEAL, AND USE SUCH UNETHICAL BUSINESS PRACTICES!!! THEY WILL DEFINAELY, NEVER BE A REPUTABLE COMPANY!!!!!!!2 0 Reply

My 5 day free trial from push play was not 5 days! They charged my account for a premium membership, before the 5 day trial was up. I called to cancel the morning of the 5th day. The rep told me it would take 10 days for the transaction to be complete and the money in my account. Ten days would not be soon enough. Per my request, a supervisor took my call. I explained that I am disabled veteran on a fixed income and the money they took from my account (before 5 days) was going to put me in the red and my insurance would not get paid. There would be NSF fees from my bank plus other charges from creditors, and I practically begged to have them handle the transaction within 24 hours. I could not believe my ears when the supervisor raised her voice and spoke their blanket return caveat. I then began to ask her a question and as soon as she heard me speaking she repeated the refund caveat and hung up on me. I have never had a bad experience like this, ever. I never thought to check out reviews. Pushplay is a sham! don't even try the free trial. their movies are not what they advertise.
to Ticked off veteran Sep 30, 2013
Dear Ticked off Veteran, I kind of fell for their *** myself. But after I had put my card in and went to the next page and saw the 4 program options...one being a free 5 day trial....I exited to system and chose not...essentially I opted out. 12 hours later on Monday morning I saw a charge from lush play for 1.00. I immediately called them and asked what the charge was for and they said it was a pre approval fee for my membership....I said what membership...I chose non of your programs and exited the system...I was forced to cancel a membership I did not approve. their site is a lie!!!!!! Obviously they must have a really terrible service if they have to lie, and steal from people!!!!! But the best thing a person can do is to have a preload type of credit card with only 10 dollars on it to use for such things like this on the internet. because if the money is not there...they can't steal it!! Good luck to you in the future.

The people who operate this site should be thrown in prison. I have no idea how I even created an account, but while backtracking on my bank account history, I noticed that I had been charged $35 for two months.
PEOPLE WHO SCAM OTHER PEOPLE OUT OF MONEY ONLINE SHOULD BE THROWN IN JAIL. End of story. I hope the creators of this website have sleep tremors every night and rot in *** knowing that they blindly steal other peoples money.

Yeah, I signed up to try it and couldn't get anything in its entirety so I pushed cancel right away. Low and behold, I've gotten charged the 39.95 twice and I'm still fighting for a refund.

I may have signed up, but didn't cancel. never used the service because it didn't work well. No reminder of cancellation requirement. I was out of the country and not checking my cc because I wasn't using it. Wound up with 6 billings, they say they will cancel three. Overpriced at best compared to netflix0 0 Reply
