My Top 10 GOP Debate Moments
We once were chained to our workplace. The phone chained us to our desk. Then the computer chained us to our desk. And then our work tools became mobile, and so we became mobile, and the distance we were willing to travel to and from work gradually rose. In collaboration with AT&T Labs Research, Carlo Ratti and his team at MIT's SENSEable City Lab — a research group that blends architectural concepts with emerging technology — used anonymous, aggregated cell phone data to prove just how mobile we've become and to explore our evolving definition of state lines. "Today, everywhere is a workplace," Ratti says. "We see people doing their work, using a railway station as an office. An airport as an office. Starbucks as an office. Because of that, our lifestyle is changing, and the fact that people commute from very, very far away is one side of that." The data was compiled during the month of July 2010 from several million commuters who communicated via cell phone; the colored dots represent the commuters' home locations, while the rings and their intensity represent the number of commuters traveling. The resulting map shows a breaking down of the traditional idea of a nation of states, and, instead, an ever-expanding urban sprawl that pushes the limits of our respective cities. This is a version of America that's not based upon politics, or history, but one that's constantly moving.

The notion of American class mobility is deeply rooted in the ability to make more money. But class mobility can also be measured in the ability to actually move. Using IRS migration data from the 2009-2010 period — which measures the inflow and outflow of citizens who file taxes from county to county — Eric Rodenbeck and his team at San Francisco-based design firm Stamen created a map of America that is as extreme as ever. By using the IRS figures and mapping them out on U.S. highways with open-source technology provided by OpenStreetMap, they've created a roadmap of the parts of America that are losing and gaining, and the results are surprising. "We realized that if you look at the biggest 'losers,' essentially what you're looking at are the biggest cities in the U.S.," Migurski says. One of those losers: New York county, which lost $1,306,548,000 and 15,100 people. "But does that actually mean New York is a big loser?" Migurski asks. "One of our ideas was that, you're not a loser if you're losing money. You're an exporter." The sort of exporter, he says, that boosts the rest of the U.S. economy. Traditional Sun Belt retirement areas comprise the gainers; areas like South Florida and Southern California in particular, create what Migurski calls "money sinks." But between the two is a middle that doesn't move, that actually exists in the middle: King and Loving counties in Texas remained unchanged. The rural areas between coasts show movement not from coast to coast, but off the beaten path, within state lines. Stamen presents an America that is in both a state of unrest, and unable — or unwilling — to move at all.

79 Things We Can All Agree On


text:
THE Australian Federal Police has secured a star witness to testify against former executives of allegedly corrupt Reserve Bank subsidiaries.
In a major breakthrough in Australia's first foreign bribery prosecution, the Victorian Supreme Court yesterday heard that Securency's former chief financial officer, David John Ellery, intends to plead guilty to two counts of bribery-related false accounting and give evidence at the committal hearings of several former colleagues next year.
Feature: A licence to print money
Mr Ellery is the ninth former executive from Securency and Note Printing Australia to be charged with bribery related offences and the first to indicate a guilty plea.
The Saturday Age can also reveal Radius Christanto, the Indonesian middleman engaged by the RBA firms, has been arrested in Singapore and federal police are seeking his extradition to Australia.
Evidence against Mr Christanto includes correspondence between him and executives from the RBA firms - obtained by The Age and given to the AFP - in which $US1.6 million in ''unofficial payments'' to ''our friends'' in Indonesia's central bank were discussed.
NPA, which is fully-owned and supervised by the Reserve Bank, and Securency, half-owned by the RBA, were also charged in July last year with allegedly bribing officials in Vietnam, Malaysia, Nepal and Indonesia in order to secure banknote supply contracts.
The companies make and print Australia's unique plastic banknotes and export them to more than 30 countries.
An international police taskforce began investigating the companies after The Saturday Age in 2009 revealed their multimillion-dollar payments to tax haven bank accounts belonging to questionable middlemen in Asia and Africa.
The scandal has embroiled the leadership of the RBA, with senior central bank officials receiving explicit evidence of bribery back in 2007 but choosing to handle the matter internally rather than go to police.
Next year's committal hearings of the former banknote executives are expected to hear allegations that at least one former RBA board member and several other senior bank officials knew about corruption but sought to cover it up.
The Australian Securities and Investments Commission earlier this year rejected a referral from the AFP to investigate Securency and NPA board members - including serving and former senior RBA officials - for breaches of the Corporations Act. ASIC provided no reason for its decision.
Commonwealth prosecutor David Sewell told Justice Paul Coghlan yesterday that Mr Ellery had consented to his indictment on two charges of false accounting relating to alleged bribery in Vietnam and Malaysia. Mr Sewell said Mr Ellery, who was also Securency's company secretary between 2003 and 2010, had agreed to a summons to appear before the Victorian Supreme Court on July 18.
Mr Sewell told the court that Mr Ellery, who did not appear yesterday, intended to plead guilty to the charges and hoped to be sentenced in time for him to be available to ''give evidence against the other accused'' at committal hearings scheduled across seven months next year.
Mr Ellery's intention to plead guilty and testify against his former colleagues represents an important breakthrough for the AFP taskforce working on Operation Rune, the codename given to the bribery probe.
A series of court orders has prevented the public from knowing other significant developments in the prosecution of Securency and NPA as corporate entities in recent months.
The Singapore High Court last month granted Mr Christanto bail on the condition $1.6 million surety be paid, he surrender his passport and report to police twice daily. The AFP application for his extradition is expected to be heard in a Singapore court later this year.
Court documents show Mr Christanto's lawyers claimed he had not ''the faintest idea'' he was wanted by Australian police when he was arrested last month.
His lawyers said he had about $19 million worth of property in Singapore and $10 million in local banks.
The RBA bribery scandal has been a major embarrassment for Australia, with high-ranking government officials and politicians in Asia and Africa alleged to have been bribed.

please any body help me. how to make picture slide show box with html.
Below two articles will help you to add picture slideshow box with HTML. First article will show you how to do it within frame and another will show how to do it within table. I hope it will help you.
1. http://www.htmlgoodies.com/beyond/javascript/article.php/3471341/So-You-Want-A-SlideShow-Huh.htm2. http://www.ideal-helper.com/html-photo-slideshow-code.html
you can't achieved this using html or css only, you need to use jquery or javascript... here are some example of slideshow with a demo, also you can copy paste the code and use it to your website... http://www.htmldrive.net/categorys/show/2/Slideshow-Scroller
good luck!
you can't achieved this using html or css only

The rest is done by css (1.2kB) and javascript (2.9kB). - No jQuery or other script-library needed!
Nice one, Francky.
With JS disabled, code appears on the site, though:
One thing I like to do with a slideshow is add a scroll bar if JS is off, so that a user can scroll through the images manually. Either that, or just let the images cascade down the screen and be seen all at once.
Hi ralph,Thanks.
Yes, that is only for the demo, so that demo visitors can see the JS state (and don't forget to turn the JS on after disabling). - But I understand that it can be somewhat confusing. To make it clearer, I added "(only for this demo)" in the Enabled/Disabled line. Thanks for the REM!

Indeed, that is the other possibility (but can break down the page layout) / With disabled css that is automatically the only way.
I just wondered if you wanted the HTML to appear along with the message, that's all. The

Huh??? In which browser? :shifty:
This is what I get with JS off in Chrome for Mac:
Pfff, that's very strange.In the html4.01 specs about the  tag this example is used:

Oftentimes customers write us with suggestions on changing instructions or ingredients in our baking mixes. Sometimes it's a low-fat version, sometimes it's an added ingredient, and sometimes it's just a new product altogether. One of our most popular mixes is the Gluten Free Brownie Mix, so we hear numerous creative new ways of making this mix that we wanted to share. Here's what our customers are saying:
Debbie DeBrito from Colorado Springs, CO recommends using just ¼ cup of butter along with 8 oz. of applesauce to cut down on the amount of fat. This substitution may need a little bit more time in the oven so it can cook through.
Cathy Wolf from Bay Village, OH uses only 1 stick of butter (1/2 cup) and adds 1/4 cup chocolate chips for a lower calorie count.
June Ammerman from Arvada, CO prefers to make the mix without an electric mixer, so the eggs must be beaten before adding them to the rest of the mix. She cuts down on the butter by 2 Tb (using 1 ¼ sticks) and instead of using warm water, she just pours the melted butter in tap water which naturally warms it up. She also adds chocolate chips and finely shredded coconut for a fun twist. June cuts the brownies while warm so they don't crack like they do when cooled.
We welcome these and any other product suggestions you have. We encourage you to experiment with our products and share your findings with us. Of course, the basic directions are absolutely delicious as is, but trying something new is always fun!
Here are two more customer-submitted recipes using this mix. It's amazing how one mix can be so versatile!

Sea — February 2004
By Capt. Bill Pike
We Have the Technology
|Yeah, right!
Please allow me to set the stage for a little maritime tragedy I got tangled up in about a week ago. Imagine a couple of brand-new 60-some-foot motoryachts—each as shiny and bright as a fresh-minted penny—ensconced in adjoining slips in a pricey, palm-fringed marina in South Florida. Make 'em a couple of ultra-expensive, extra-outfitted beauties, too: sisterships with price tags nudging the net worth of Dick Cheney. Crew 'em with a passel of seemingly intelligent guys, each togged out in trendy yacht wear. Then, finally and regretfully, toss a subtle but powerful wrench into the works: a liberal dosage of plain, old-fashioned arrogance.
"Come on aboard," said the captain of the yacht nearest the dockmaster's office, a big guy with pricey, reflector-type shades. From the lofty grandeur of an immense flying bridge, he bade a grand welcome to my photographer and me. The two of us jumped from the dock onto the yacht's big swim platform, traversed the teak-paved cockpit, and then climbed up the sculpted, stainless steel ladder to the bridge.
Politely rising from his seat at the upper-helm station to a height of well over six feet, the captain introduced himself and the captain of the other motoryacht. The two skippers then proceeded to introduce their respective crews, a sizable group of young guys who were lounging around the bridge with a wholly nautical flair. The photographer and I greeted the assemblage and then began explaining how the upcoming photo shoot needed to go. What we wanted to do, we said, was capture an exciting image of the two motoryachts running across a nearby bay, more or less side-by-side. We cautioned the two skippers about not looking toward the helicopter while the shoot was in progress—smiling directly at the camera gives a stagy, unnatural quality to the resulting photography. We cautioned them about keeping the two yachts close together—allowing photographic subjects to get too far apart interferes with the immediacy of the resulting images, we said. And we cautioned them about paying attention to buoys and day marks—even wide channels are often skirted by skinny water in Florida, we warned.
"So the helicopter will be running in this direction," concluded the photographer, making motions with his hands in the air to show the orchestration of the shoot, "and you guys'll be running in this direction."
A long, uneasy silence ensued. Sensing trouble perhaps, the photographer attempted to clarify things by making a perfectly logical request.
"You guys got a chart?" he asked. "A chart would help us show you what we're talkin' about."
"No," came the curt, dismissive reply from the big guy with pricey, reflector-type shades.

So what is the first thing that comes to mind when someone mentions The Falklands? War? The British? Penguins? I remembered the conflict (they don't like to call it a war) of 1982 but I'm a little embarrassed to admit that I had never associated penguins with this group of islands. Well, you just have to walk down the main street of Stanley and gaze at the window displays of the many souvenior shops and you will see more penguin paraphernalia than you ever thought possible. Princess offered many different penguin excursions but you had to choose between seeing the Rockhoppers OR the Gentoos, the Kings OR the Macaroni. Prior to leaving the states, I contacted a couple of tour operators in the Falklands and inquired about a private tour that would take us to see as many species of penguins as possible. Out of the responses, I chose Adrian. He's a Brit who married a girl whose family owns a large farm on the Falklands which they now own and run. Come to find out, he owns the land where 90% of the cruise excursions for penguin watching go. He has 5 different species that reside on his sheep ranch. We started by going to see the Gentoo colony which was about 1 hour away, most of it over bumpy tundra, bogs and streams. On the way, we passed his farm house, some massive peat bogs and the fenced off areas where there are still land mines.
I was very surprised at the number of penguins in the Gentoo colony and how far away from the water they were. There were two separate areas where they had established their groups. Most had one or two chicks. A few were still trying to keep eggs warm in the frigid wind. Sadly, we were informed, those eggs would not hatch. There was a rope on the ground that we were asked not to cross but it was crazy to me just how close you could get to them and how unafraid they were of us. It was a little surreal to see these darling creatures up so close. A little like being in a Mary Poppins film. After snapping hundreds of penguin poses, we headed to the little mobile home on the property where we were served some delectable biscuits (English butter cookies peanut butter cookies) and hot tea or chocolate.
Our next journey followed the path the penguins would take from the colony down to the sea shore about 3/4 of a mile away (that takes a long time when walk like a penguin). The beach was fenced off because there are still land mines on it. These don't pose a danger to the penguins because they don't weigh enough to set them off. We could see about a hundred penguins waddling around on the beach and diving into the water where they would eat fish and then waddle back to their offspring up at the colony and regurgitate those fish to feed their chicks. Adrian got out his binoculars so we could see a couple of King penguins that hang out on the beach with the Gentoos. They are about a head taller than the Gentoos and have a little different coloring.
Behind us in the little shelf that surrounds the beach were the dugouts of the shy Magellanic penguins. Unlike their cousins, they were more fearful than curious and would diappear in their burrows when we got too close.
Time to go to the Rockhoppers. Most cruise passengers didn't make it out to see the rockhoppers because they were so far away and required a 4x4 to get there. They definitely missed out. These guys were my favorite. The journey they make up from the sea is nothing short of miraculous. It's steep and so far up the hill that you would think they burn up all the calories they take in while down fishing. There are certainly no fat penguins waddling around up at the top. They are intensely curious little creatures and completely unafraid. Here there is no rope stopping you from plopping yourself right down next to them and sticking a camera right in their cute little faces...just common sense and propriety. They are pretty vocal too. Lots of squawking and squabbling with a firm peck to the neighbor if they don't get out of their way.
They swim in a pod like dolphins, their bodies arcing out of the water. At first, I thought they were a pod of dolphins, but their distictive black and white bodies are easily recognizable. I wish that I had brought a zoom lens with me so I could have captured their graceful movements in the water. We had also hoped to see some Macaroni penguins here. Adrian told us that a seal had climbed all the way up to the colony the previous week and had killed a large number of them, mostly the chicks. He said that the Macaroni's that had been hanging out with this colony of Rockhoppers were some of the ones killed by the seal. So sad. The seal didn't even eat them, just killed them. You can see below the bottom of the hill where they dive into the water from the large rock face. See how steep that hill is?
Our last stop was by Adrian's ranch we he showed us where they store the peat that they cut out of the bogs. We learned how the wool is sorted and baled. We got to see his peat stove that heats the house and that they cook on as well as their cream separator. They sell the extra cream in town from the small herd of cows they milk daily. They try to be as self sufficient as possible, growing most of their own food.
Back in Stanley, we had to stop by the famous whalebone arch before heading back to the ship.
In answer to the post title: we learned that anywhere in So. America, you should refer to them as the Malvinas. Anywhere else in the world, they are the Falklands.

AMD's 2013 Elite Mobility Platform, aka Temashby Jarred Walton on 5/23/2013 1:23 AM EST

testbug00 - Thursday, May 23, 2013 - linkOne, this is just bad naming.
two, i meant to make an account to say this forever ago, but this version of the website runs slow as hell (compared to the old one) on my iphone4. Reply
testbug00 - Thursday, May 23, 2013 - linkjust to clarify the bad naming, i mean for Temash and Kabini together have horrible naming.... Reply
xdrol - Thursday, May 23, 2013 - linkI hope you are aware that these are just codenames, AMD never brings these items to the market under these names. Reply
testbug00 - Friday, May 24, 2013 - linki mean the A4/A6 names, currently used by Temash, Kabini and Trinity/Richland Reply
varad - Thursday, May 23, 2013 - linkJarred,
I'm not sure where you got the 9W TDP from. The slide seems to mention both A6-1450 & A4-1250 as having a TDP of 8W. Also, the A4-1250 seems to support higher max memory clock speeds. This could be why the TDP is similar despite dropping 2 cores and skipping turbo. Reply
JarredWalton - Thursday, May 23, 2013 - linkHa! I have a second set of images from AMD that distinctly shows 9W on the A4-1250. I wonder which one is correct? Here's the link to the "9W" image:
http://images.anandtech.com/doci/6978/image004.png Reply
varad - Thursday, May 23, 2013 - linkThat is weird. For reference, do we know what the TDP is for android tablets such as the Nexus 7 and 10? Reply
JarredWalton - Thursday, May 23, 2013 - linkI believe the SoC TDP on high performance ARM chips is right around 4W, with some going above that for short periods (8W max but only for a few seconds?) Reply
zeo - Tuesday, May 28, 2013 - linkThe Tegra 4 raises it to 5W but ARM SoCs idle most of the time and can idle to very low mw states that Temash can't reach aside from entering S3 Suspend State... and ARM SoCs can also perform most tasks while still operating in low mw power levels.
AMD has improved their power efficiency significantly compared to the previous Brazos but their idle states still look more like ARM maximum states...
Numbers given by AMD for example indicate that the A4-1200 APU consumes 1.2 Watt when idle, 1.4 Watt during browsing, and 2.35 Watt when playing h.264 online video at 1080p resolution. Total platform power for these types of activities is 2.8 Watt, 3.7 Watt and 5.3 Watt respectively.
Mind that ARM SoCs also integrate more components than just the primary chipsets... Qualcomm especially, since they integrate the Cellular Modem now as well...
This is one of the reasons why AMD can't offer mobile features like always connected standby... but also why they need to get below 5W to go into fan-less tablets.
So it looks like only the A4-1200 would even try to compete in that range... Reply
MrSpadge - Thursday, May 23, 2013 - linkWhy would the A4-1250 not have a turbo mode, at least for the CPU? This seems stupid, since the technology is there (see A6-1450), the performance difference to the next model is there (4 vs. 2 cores will help at something) and the power consumption headroom should be there (otherwise the A6-1450 would never be able to actually turbo up).
Especially with low clocked low performance CPUs single threaded performance is king! Reply
zeo - Tuesday, May 28, 2013 - linkWell, first, it doesn't appear that Temash or Kabini have Turbo Core... Rather the Turbo Mode is a TDP Mode, as it doesn't dynamically change as needed but scales up, or down, and can stay in that mode as long as needed.
If you look at the youtube video when AMD first demoed the Turbo Dock features, the quad core Temash requires both an additional battery and additional fans in the dock to support the Turbo Dock Mode.
Testing of the sample Acer Aspire V5 with the A6-1450 also shows the 1.4GHz mode can be set to be constant and it doesn't burst like Turbo Core or Intel's Turbo Boost does.
The A6-1450 was originally rumored to have a 5.9W TDP, with Turbo Dock increasing that to 14W... Now they list it as 8W but don't mention the Turbo Dock mode... So they may not be mentioning it because it goes against their power efficiency improvement statements...
Mind that the Turbo Dock Mode increases both CPU Clock Speed, from 1GHz to 1.4GHz, and GPU clock, from 300MHz to 400MHz...
Compared to the A4-1250, which stays at 1GHz but has a GPU Clock of 300MHz... which is apparently the only difference between the the A4-1250 and the A4-1200, since the A4-1200's GPU is clocked just 75MHz slower at 225MHz but that's apparently enough for about double the TDP difference.
So you can just imagine what increasing a full 100MHz from 300MHz to 400MHz and also increasing CPU by 400MHz will do to the TDP...
While, second, the dual core Temash are the ones intended for Fan-Less tablets... at least the lower end A4-1200 is... The A4-1250 may be too high at 9W TDP to be passively cooled... Reply
R3MF - Friday, May 31, 2013 - linkwhen do Jaguar core bases AMD SoC's get HSA?
despite the shared memory, I am presuming that HSA is not present in the current Kabini/Temash crop of Jaguar SoC's...........
Also, is there a genuine 2x core Temash die, or are they all merely harvested 4x core dies? Reply

I'm lucky to have my own driveway in NYC. I'm also lucky to have a beautiful apple tree that blooms to park underneath. The only problem is hundreds of birds love this tree too. Therefore going to the car wash has become a routine trip. I'm amazed that for $10 you can get a full car wash that includes a full cleaning of the interior too.

Ok, youse guys. I'm going to be on vacation next week, and while I'm not going anywhere (other than several meetings with Mr. T) I probably am not going to be posting every day.
Which brings us to a very popular episode we began last summer: Guest blogging.
If you'd like to do one, you'll have to let me know.
And this will test your reading skills, because you cannot believe how many people couldn't follow these simple instructions last summer.
1) Don't tell me in the comments section below.
2) Drop me an e-mail at email@example.com to let me know you're interested. Don't write your guest blog yet.
3) In the e-mail, please include your screen name and your real name.
I will schedule several of those who are interested to run during the two weeks beginning July 19. Unfortunately I will not be able to get to everybody, but I will have a few more weeks to fill later, and before the season.
I would ask you keep your posts within an arm's length of hockey, that you keep them clean, that you keep then succinct (relatively brief — 8-10-12 paragraphs). In the case of Sally, well, it doesn't even have to be paragraphs or words.
And I will need to have your posts the night before they are due to be published.
Those who posted last summer might get another shot, but at the start I'd like to have some new voices.
Eighty-nine days until Opening Night.
EVENING UPDATE, 5 P.M.: Got this from the Rangers:
New York, July 12, 2010 – New York Rangers President and General Manager Glen Sather announced today that the club has agreed to terms with right wing Jeremy Williams.
Williams, 26, skated in 77 games with the Grand Rapids Griffins of the American Hockey League (AHL) last season, registering 32 goals and 31 assists for 63 points, along with 55 penalty minutes. He established AHL career-highs in games played, goals, points and shots (210). Williams ranked eighth in the AHL in goals, and tied for fourth in the league with 14 power play goals. He also led the Griffins in goals, points, power play goals and shots, and tied for the team lead in assists. Williams recorded 14 multi-point performances, including his second career AHL hat trick on April 10 at Chicago. He posted a career-high, seven-game point streak from December 9 vs. San Antonio to December 19 at Texas, registering nine points (five goals and four assists) over the span. Williams finished the season riding a three-game goal streak (six goals), including back-to-back multi-goal games on April 10 at Chicago (three goals) and April 11 at Milwaukee (two goals). He notched his 100th AHL goal on December 9 vs. San Antonio, registered his 200th AHL point with an assist on December 15 at Peoria, and recorded his 100th AHL assist on December 26 vs. Chicago. Williams also skated in his 300th career AHL game on February 13 at Houston.
In 2008-09, Williams split the season between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Toronto Marlies (AHL). He registered five goals and two assists for seven points in 11 NHL games with the Maple Leafs. Williams tallied his first NHL multi-point effort with one goal and one assist in his season debut on December 8 vs. the NY Islanders. He recorded five goals in his first six games with the Maple Leafs following his recall on December 8, including a goal in each of his first three games. With the Marlies, Williams ranked second on the team with 27 goals and fourth with 40 points in 46 AHL games that season. He also led the team and ranked fourth in the AHL with a career-high 19 power play goals.
The 6-0, 195-pounder has skated in 325 career AHL games over six seasons with the St. John's Maple Leafs/Toronto Marlies and Grand Rapids Griffins, registering 122 goals and 121 assists for 243 points, along with 248 penalty minutes. In addition, Williams has recorded nine goals and two assists for 11 points in 31 career NHL contests with the Toronto Maple Leafs. He notched a goal on his first shot on goal in his NHL debut on April 18, 2006 vs. Pittsburgh.
The Regina, Saskatchewan native was originally selected as Toronto's seventh round draft choice, 220th overall, in the 2003 NHL Entry Draft.

November 30, 2012
SIOUX CITY, Iowa – The clock struck midnight on the finest season in TMC volleyball history at the end of the first round of single-elimination play in the 2012 NAIA National Championships.
The Lady Mustangs' 2012 campaign came to end in four sets (25-27, 27-25, 22-25, 22-25) by means of a decisive kill by Oklahoma Baptist's Sabra Clark.
But in the midst of the tears shed by the Lady Mustangs and the Mustang faithful who made the trek to Sioux City, a sense of accomplishment was shared by all.
"I remember sitting underneath Yosemite Falls during our annual team retreat and we talked about what we wanted to accomplish in the coming year," commented Coach Bobby Blanken. "The girls were extremely serious about playing for a national championship. Personally, I didn't think they fully knew what that meant, but they were committed to the idea of giving 100% and doing the absolute most to have the opportunity."
As the Mustangs' season progressed, TMC tallied win after win and proved to be able to hang on with the nation's best. In fact, the Lady Mustangs possessed a solid record of competing with nationally-ranked teams as they topped four NAIA Top 25 powers during the course of the 2012 campaign. On November 6, TMC came within three points in the fifth and final set of beating conference rival and top-ranked Concordia.
The Mustangs' regular-season schedule ended with a 26-5 (10-4 in conference play) overall record, good enough to earn them a first-round bye in the opening round of the 2012 NAIA National Tournament.
But TMC faced turmoil in their designated playoff pool as the Lady Mustangs fell to Cal State San Marcos and Viterbo (WI) within 24 hours of each other.
Down but not out, Blanken and his Mustangs navigated their way through a four-set match against Indiana Wesleyan (IWU) on Thursday, followed by winning two back-to-back tiebreakers against Cal State San Marcos and IWU, giving the Mustangs the green light to advance to the single-elimination bracket against Oklahoma Baptist.
When all was said and done, the Lady Mustangs played nearly four straight hours of volleyball on Thursday night.
"Yesterday when things didn't go the way we wanted it to, we all thought it was over. I feel like God was teaching us to be perseverant and we did. We were blessed to be given the chance to be in the mix with the nation's Top 12 (teams)."
The Mustangs took that chance and faced the Bison of Oklahoma Baptist at noon on Friday.
The Bison got out to a 12-6 lead in the first set, but TMC's offense remained resilient and rallied to take a 24-23 lead. Ashley Newton (Henderson, NV) tied the match at 25-25 with a kill. OBU put the set away with consecutive kills by Tarah Derden and Sabra Clark.
OBU started the second set strong as it created a 20-12 advantage. But the Lady Mustangs struck back, scoring five straight points to slice the deficit to 24-22. A kill by Rebecca Peluffo (La Crescenta, CA) and a Bison attack error by OBU kill-leader Kristin Pressley tied the match at 24. Aubrey Bekendam (Orland, CA) and Ashley Newton tallied back-to-back kills, giving the Mustangs a 27-25 victory.
Momentum then shifted in favor of the Mustangs in the third set as TMC led the Lady Bison at 13-8. But OBU used three kills during a 7-0 run to take a 15-13 lead. The battle continued and the Lady Mustangs cut the Bison lead to 23-22 before Pressley recorded two consecutive kills for the win.
TMC entered the fourth set facing a must-win situation. With their season hanging in the balance, the Lady Mustangs started the set by keeping the margins close, tying the game nine separate times with the final coming at 13-all. Around this time, Mustang standout outside hitter Sam Dougherty (Madera, CA) suffered an untimely head injury and was forced to exit the match per doctor's orders. The Bison capitalized on Dougherty's absence, surging to a 23-19 lead. The Lady Mustangs came together and gave it their all by cutting OBU's lead to 23-22. However, TMC's title dreams were dashed by way of consecutive kills from Pressely, ending the match at 27-25.
Rachel Taylor (Sun Valley, CA) led the Mustangs with 18 kills followed by Victoria Callihan (Simi Valley, CA) with 12. Alyssa Gergins (Murrieta, CA) had 32 assists and 13 digs to go with her four kills. Gergins also notched one of the Mustangs' two aces.
Defensively, TMC tallied 96 digs. Peluffo led with 26 digs and was followed by Dougherty with 22. Stacey Jones (Scottsdale, AZ) claimed four blocks throughout the match.
At the end of four sets the Mustangs' efforts were not in vain as Coach Blanken encouraged his squad to hold their heads high in wake of the loss.
"I couldn't be more proud of our girls. Our seniors, in particular, contributed so much to rebuilding a struggling and unsuccessful program. It's really special to see how committed the squad was to the idea of winning the championship. I'm very proud of our girls."
The Mustangs will graduate Taylor, Callihan, and Jenna Kapuscinski (Sylmar, CA). The senior trio led the Mustangs to a 27-8 (10-4 GSAC) season, a far cry from the consecutive 2-18 seasons they experienced as freshmen and sophomores.
As the Lady Mustangs make their way back home from Iowa, the team leaves with the confidence that they will be back in Sioux City this time next year for another shot at a national title.

Although the company was founded in 2010, the genesis of Micro Interventional Devices (MID; Bethlehem, PA) is roughly thirty years in the making, says the firm's founder and CEO Michael Whitman. The firm has developed a self-sealing cardiac access and closure device that can facilitate procedures such as transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). "Tissue healing and wound healing is where I spent most of my career," Whitman says. In the past three decades, he has also learned much about percutaneous coronary procedures; while working at Johnson & Johnson in the 1990s, Whitman was involved in the launch of the coronary stent. He later went on to found Power Medical Interventions, a pioneer of computer-assisted surgical devices that went public in 2007 and was acquired by Covidien in 2009.
Focus Going Forward
Challenges of Current TAVR Technologies
Power Medical Interventions was founded to faciliate minimally invasive procedures. Similarly, MID could follow a similar path, by creating products that improve percutaneous and minimally invasive heart repair procedures like TAVR.
"When you look at TAVR, it is almost prima facie obvious that a catheter-based technology is going to superior to an invasive surgical procedure where your chest is cracked." As TAVR technology becomes more widely adopted and the procedure evolves, the need for ancillary tools to support the core technology becomes a necessity. It is possible to anticipate what that toolbox will be before demand for it exists, Whitman says. "It takes years and years of experience or time in the OR to be able to anticipate those things," he acknowledges.
The idea for the company was hatched following a conversation Whitman had with an executive at a large device company, which highlighted the need for a supplemental TAVR technology to simplify closing the apex during the transapical approach of the procedure.
"For TAVR, the transapical approach when done with a reproducible access and closure device may be superior to transfemoral approach. This is based on data that has been compiled in the European experience," Whitmans says.
In October 2012, MID announced that a human patient had been treated using the firm's Permaseal self-sealing, cardiac access and closure technology. The patient was the first to enroll in a European clinical trial known as STASIS, which stands for "Sutureless Transapical Access and Closure Study." The study will investigate the use of the technology in 40 patients receiving Edwards Lifesciences' Sapien XT via transapical delivery. The company anticipates that top-line data from the study will be available in 2013.
MID also has plans to commercialize the first fully percutaneous mitral valve replacement device. Known as the Endovalve, the technology is covered by four U.S. patents. The Endovalve also will make use of the company's Permaseal platform, which will enable it to be delivered via the transapical approach.
In the long term, the company plans to expand its focus, and will introduce a portfolio of products to treat structural heart disease. Like the introduction of TAVR itself, it is likely that the company's first products will be commercialized in Europe before hitting the domestic market.
"Creating a commercially viable product that can be manufactured in a cost effective way that maintains regulatory compliance is a byproduct of experience and collaboration."

Apple cutting iPhone sales forecasts 20% in response to the high-end smartphone slump
0. phoneArena posted on 09 Jul 2013, 01:48
Chain checks reveal that Apple might have warned suppliers to prep for a 20% decrease in component orders for the iPhone in the second half of the year, indicate analyst sources...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

You would think after five years, the analyst(s) would get the decline in iPhone sales due to new model introduction.
5. Googler (Posts: 813; Member since: 10 Jun 2013)
That's strange because the iPhone is usually released in the second half of the year, the same time Apple is prepping suppliers to reduce production.
7. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
I would think that Apple would get a clue and do more than release a model refresh every other year. Memo to Timmy: Dogs don't like stale dog food. There are two other viable alternative dog food options that are providing tasty alternatives to your company's dog food.
Time to stop trying to suppress the competition.
2. wando77 (Posts: 1076; Member since: 23 Aug 2012)
That's actually a potential 25% loss isn't it?
3. Tsepz_GP (Posts: 1042; Member since: 12 Apr 2012)
Exactly what I was talking about in the Samsung+HTC article comments. Now if this slowdown affects the big companies like Samsung and Apple, who will continue to make huge profits anyway, imagine how badly this is going to hit the small guys who barely have any money, lack huge marketing budgets and are barely making profit as is e.g. Sony, Nokia, etc...
4. pyradark (Posts: 882; Member since: 10 Jun 2012)
Nah!! Only the two big guys are going down due to some of them are ex user and shifting to nokia and sony.
6. Tsepz_GP (Posts: 1042; Member since: 12 Apr 2012)
Lol, you're so delusional it's quite scary. Look kid, Samsung may have lost a few customers to Sony IN THE UK, that barely affects them, the sooner you realize that the better. I know it's hard for you to accept the fact that your favorite manufacturer simply cannot compare Apple and Samsung.

text: While I was stationed at Sheppard AFB, Texas, near Wichita Falls, I looked in the local phonebook for any Craycrofts that may have been in the area. I found a listing for Ben Craycroft and immediately called him. A woman answered the phone, who I later guessed to be his niece, and I asked to speak with Mr. Craycroft, explaining who I was. Ben came on the line and we spoke briefly about family and possible connections. I don't remember if he said where he had been born, but I asked him when his family had moved to Texas. He replied "My Daddy moved down here after the Civil War." Many years later, after I learned more about Ben and his family, I determined that when I spoke with him Ben was about to turn 80 years old. I also learned that it was sometime after October, 1888 that his father Frank and the family moved to Texas. Prior to that time they had lived in Missouri. (Robert L. Craycroft, February 27, 2005)

Thalente Biyela
written by: Adam Darbyshire
credit: Seedandspark
You may have seen #Thalente hopping around twitter recently and this is yet another video which proves the internet can be used for good things.
Thalente (meaning talent in Zulu) is a South African skater from Duban who has been living on the streets since he was 11 and until a few days ago was only known by a small few who had taken an interest in the African skate scene. Thalente has stirred that much of an interest in the skateboarding world from his relaxed style and quite extensive bag of tricks, and his quite tragic back story has only aided peoples interest in the young talent. Take a second to watch the video below and see for yourself the potential this kid has, I think he is definitely someone to watch, or remember the name of in the next few years in the skateboarding scene.

Mets use pinch-hits to rally in front of rowdy crowd
C. Young's HR in 7th ties it, Campbell's two-out single wins it in eighth
NEW YORK -- The signs were plenty. There were rambunctious, noise stick-wielding denizens packing the center-field bleachers. There were the late-arriving, but surely present, thousands drifting in on a picture-perfect July afternoon. And there were the bursts of energy and excitement -- pent up after several futile months -- during Chris Young's game-tying, pinch-hit homer in the seventh, and again when Daniel Murphy's leaping catch saved a run in the eighth.
And finally, as Travis d'Arnaud slid across home plate in the eighth on an Eric Campbell looper to center, the deciding run in the Mets' 5-4 win over the Marlins on Saturday, the Citi Field crowd of 35,283 made itself heard.
The Mets have changed the mood of their clubhouse over the course of this 10-game homestand that ends Sunday, turning their cliché talk of a chance to end the first half on a high note into actual progress by winning seven of nine. And on Saturday those feelings finally made their way into the seats. The atmosphere was especially electric juxtaposed with the recent attendance numbers.
Terry Collins noticed.
"That's what this town can be like if you're having success," the Mets manager said. "That's why playing in New York is exciting. We've talked about what it's like playing here, we don't have a great record here. Well, the other teams like to play here too because there's no bigger stage to play on than when you come to New York City."
Added Campbell: "We really haven't seen that a whole lot. Obviously winning helps, and winning is going to bring a whole lot of people. Hopefully it continues, because it's fun playing in front of them."
The crowd erupted when Campbell's single to center plated d'Arnaud. Campbell had seen Miami reliever Mike Dunn only once before, getting mostly mid-90s fastballs when the teams squared off in Miami last month. This time Dunn fed him a steady diet of sliders, so the latter wasn't surprised when the lefty went back to it in a full count.
Two key sequences set up Campbell's heroics. First came Young launching the first pitch he saw into the left-field seats to knot the game at 4 in the seventh inning.
"That's something that never gets old," said Young, typically stoic but on this occasion allowing himself a half-smile. "It's a feeling that you love to have. To be able to square a ball up -- there's not a better feeling in sports."
Then came Murphy's grab in the eighth. Adeiny Hechavarria's liner was seemingly destined for right field, but Murphy leaped into the air barely high enough to snag it.
"That's one of those plays you're kind of at the mercy of your own athleticism right there," Murphy said. "Fortunately I had barely enough to get to the ball."
Added Miami manager Mike Redmond: "A big defensive play there that kept us from scoring and possibly changed the outcome of that game."
That was exactly the case, making irrelevant much of what happened earlier: Daisuke Matsuzaka's average outing (four runs in six innings), Tom Koehler's slightly better effort (three runs in 6 1/3), and two separate two-run leads for the visitors.
Miami held a 2-0 advantage, one of the runs coming on Christian Yelich's solo shot, before the Mets scored twice in the fifth. Yelich misplayed a Kirk Nieuwenhuis fly ball that went for a double to put men on second and third with none out, then Juan Lagares' groundout scored d'Arnaud. Nieuwenhuis came home when Ruben Tejada executed a suicide squeeze bunt.
Matsuzaka's outing, which featured 10 strikeouts to tie his career high, might've been his last start for a while. Collins was noncommittal about the future of the rotation, but Jon Niese is expected back off the disabled list after the All-Star break, and Matsuzaka could be the odd man out.
Now the Mets have a chance to finish the first half better than anyone could have expected when they returned home 11 games under .500 and 10 games back in the division last week. They have already clinched this weekend's series, giving them three straight, and another triumph on Sunday would mean eight of 10 for the first time all season.
Collins called this win arguably the biggest of the season.
"We kept fighting," d'Arnaud said. "It shows where all our heads are at right now. We're having fun."

The Preventionista Road Show
I think I've mentioned once or twice (okay, maybe more like a dozen times!) that I love traveling and meeting preventionists around the nation. Lately, I've been doing what I call the Preventionista Road Show. I've been in the great states of Nebraska and Washington, talking about effective prevention programming and building an organizational commitment to prevention. And although a trip to Wyoming was thwarted by air traffic control layoffs (although my bag got to spend 4 days there!), I was able to deliver a presentation via webinar (oh, the power of technology).
I love sharing what we've learned from our interviews with innovative prevention programs, and elements of our Finding the Perfect Shade of Change prevention resource packet. I love training on primary prevention using language that talks about what it really is – changing social norms. But the thing that I love most about these trainings is the opportunity to connect with local program staff who are out there in communities, doing this work every day. I've been there, and I know the job can be hard. It takes much effort and time (social change is a process, right?). But the rewards are so great. When I hear preventionists talk about the power of their community mobilization work and youth led efforts, and I see the gleam of pride in their eyes, well…it makes this preventionista's heart go aflutter.
So, as I set out today for another installment of the Preventionista Road Show (New York, here I come!), I can't help but get a little giddy with anticipation about the people I will meet and the prevention stories I will hear. Each person, each story, just adds fuel to my prevention fire and really helps inform the training and resources we provide at the national level. So, thanks to all of you wonderful preventionists in the field!
Do you have a story to share about the sexual violence prevention work you are doing in your community? Please share by commenting below!


text: LAS VEGAS ( TheStreet) -- The eyes of the tech world were on the Consumer Electronics Show this week, as heavyweights such as HP ( HP), Intel ( INTC), Broadcom ( BRCM) and Samsung touted their latest wares. Semiconductor firms, in particular, were out in force at CES, with Qualcomm ( QCOM) CEO Paul Jacobs taking over the opening keynote spot vacated by Microsoft's ( MSFT) Steve Ballmer on Monday evening. The chip maker also unveiled its new Snapdragon mobile processor at the event, while Intel set out its 2013 chip roadmap. Samsung was also a high-profile presence in Vegas, touting its 2013 TV lineup and taking a shot at arch-rival Apple ( AAPL). Japanese electronics giant Sharp was busy, too, throwing its weight behind new super-sized television sets. HP used CES to push a host of new products, including displays, notebooks and a pocket-sized storage device for wireless content streaming. It's not just big tech names, though, that flock to CES. Car makers such as Ford ( F) and Audi were also in attendance, as well as hot startups looking to develop "the next big thing."

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Shares of Office Depot ( ODP) and OfficeMax ( OMX) spiked in premarket trading on Tuesday after media reports that the retailers are in advanced merger talks. Shares of Office Depot surged 28.32% to $5.89 before market open, while OfficeMax climbed 20% to $12.90. Citing people familiar with the matter, The Wall Street Journal reported that the deal is expected to be stock-for-stock, and said that although talks could still fall apart an announcement could come as early as this week. Bloomberg also reported that a deal is possible this week, citing a person familiar with the matter. Shares of Office Depot, which has been struggling to compete with larger rival Staples ( SPLS) , have plunged more than 67% over the last five years. Both Office Depot and OfficeMax declined to comment on this story when contacted by TheStreet. "As a matter of company policy, we don't comment on rumors or speculation," wrote an Office Depot spokesman, in an email. "It is our long-standing policy that we do not comment on market rumors or speculation," added a spokeswoman for OfficeMax in an email to TheStreet. Staples shares rose 13.44% to $14.69 in premarket trading. --Written by James Rogers in New York. Follow @jamesjrogers >To submit a news tip, send an email to: firstname.lastname@example.com.

I was given a KA stand mixer as well as the grinder attachment back in July and I've been talking about making my own ground beef ever since. The reply that Griffin made to the Home Ground Hamburger thread, where he linked to a post on the best combination of meats for making your own ground beef, got me of the dime. The "winning" combination iin the article Griffin linked to was oxtail, sirloin and short ribs. Now where it is Labor Day today none of the butcher shops were open, which meant oxtail was certainly out of the question. I went with the combination that was said to be next best: beef brisket, sirloin & short ribs. This is could get at my local yuppie market. I'll let the pictures take over from here and discuss the results at the end.
The three meats were short ribs (top left), sirloin strips (bottom left), & beef brisket(right). Two of the three meats were already cut in strips, which is what I needed and so there wasn't much additional prep required.
I weighed out the amount of meat I was going to grind up, I was going to grind up 2 pounds of meat. The ratio I was going to use was 10 oz. short ribs, 10 oz. sirloin & 12 oz. brisket.
The pieces are all in strips and are off to the freezer for 30 minutes.
The grinding attachment is installed on the mixer and the strips of meat are back out of the freezer.
This is the end of the first of the two grinds I was going to do.
For the second grind I got "clever" and used the smaller grinding disk which proved to be a mistake. The fat got hung up trying to pass through the smaller opening and clogged. All was well after I switched back to the grinding disk with the larger openings.
I tossed on two 1/3 pound burgers for me. The Egg was set for direct grilling with the cast iron grate in place and was at 600 degrees.
The burgers have just been flipped after 5 minutes, which was intended to give me medium. I forgot the fact that grinding my own beef allows me to go lower. Next time I will do 4:30 per side which should give me medium rare.
I put cheese on the burgers at the 4 minute mark and pulled them at 5 minutes. I gave the buns a quick toast while the burgers rested.
The burgers are resting and the buns have just come off the grill. Time to eat.
I kept things simple. One burger would get Dijon mustard and the other some SBR Hickory & Brown Sugar BBQ sauce.
The burgers were medium and had good texture. They were still somewhat moist on the inside and had a crispy outer crust. Frankly the taste left a little to be desired. The 73/27 burgers I've been getting at the supermarket have a "more beefy" flavor than these burgers did.
I liked the version of these burgers with the SBR BBQ Sauce better than the ones with the mustard-a surprise to a mustard based life form like myself.
All in all this was a good learning experience.
-Using the grinding attachment was quick and easy.
-Freezing the meat for 30 minutes helps it grind better.
-I should only use the coarse grinding attachment for ground beef. The fine attachement clogs with the fat.
-I need to remember I don't have to grill burgers to medium when using my own ground beef.
-The burgers had a good texture that was easy to form into patties and pleasant to eat.
In the not so good department:
-There is no way I can see of determining the fat content ahead of time. The meat I bought today seemed to have lots of fat, but the resulting burgers did not shrink as much or have the flavor of the 73/27 burgers I've been buying at the supermarket.
-I need to try some other blends, perhaps find oxtail as suggested in the link Griffin found.
I learned a lot today and though it wasn't a failure, it wasn't a total success either. Bottom Line: it was fun and that is what hobbies are all about-learning & having fun.

...the 2-2 to Woodsen and here it comes...and it is swung on and missed! And Tom Browning has pitched a perfect game! Twenty-seven outs in a row, and he is being mobbed by his teammates, just to the thirdbase side of the mound.
.....Williamson was always an injury problem. Graves went through the closer/starter/closer flip flop that got him out of whack. I'm not sure why Sullivan ever quit. He was effective till the end.
These guys essentially all had 10 year long careers. That's plenty of pension time.
Even in 1999 McKeon's usage patterns were seen as from another time. The idea behind greater relief pitcher specialization is that it keeps your good guys healthy longer. It's been a long process. The cost of course is that your "Bruce Sutter" pitcher isn't always in there during the most important at bat. It's not just Dusty, that does it.
I think teams have an obligation to protect the arms of young starters. Yes, you might be able to wring 3 more wins out of your season by pitching Strasburg more, but the very real risk is that if everybody does that then you run the real risk that generation of starting pitchers will flame out. While I do see that obligation, I'm not convinced that it is in the teams best interest to try and preserve the arm of every journeyman reliever that comes down the pike. If we would get 5 years of Sullivan/Williamson/Graves out of Simon/Hoover/LeCure but it meant they topped out at a 10 year career, then I think that's a trade that most reds fans, the reds organizaton and probably Simon/Hoover and LeCure would all make.

Roy Tucker October 2010
Sully was an anomaly, a real gem. He hung his arm out there 1960's/70's style.

I like the idea of the original post on the pen usage pattern.
Graves was a guy who I thought was "linked" to PED's. His arm was messed with by flipping him from starter to closer to starter to closer etc. He had a much longer career than I originally thought. Williamson was a guy who you could look at and say arm injury. When healthy that guy was good, really good.
The idea to set a pen up how your theoretically going to use it sounds good. But what happens when a pitcher needs a day off, or is sore, or is going through an ineffective stretch? Bullpens are difficult to manage and volatile from year to year. Any idea of setting a bullpen rotation is going to get blown out of the water shortly after opening day.

I guess I should actually make it a point to read posts before I respond to them.
"Boys, I'm one of those umpires that misses 'em every once in a while so if it's close, you'd better hit it." Cal Hubbard
Heck, I'm all for bringing either Mckeon OR Pinella to manage the Bullpen, the after-game food or even the Dustball himself. And before someone rolls out that old and tired argument that Dustball has seen a lot of baseball, I'd say Jack can top him there. Rem
"For Reds fans, by Reds fans" Learn it, love it, live it.
To be argued if multiple innings, fewer times a week might actually prolong a career. In the case of Chapman, the Reds should maximize the asset they have (within reason) as with 99% certainty he won't be a Red past his FA window.
Not to continue the focus on the creative thread title, but it was only 2 years ago McKeon managed the Marlins for 90 games. Obviously he wouldn't come back to "manage the bullpen" for the Reds, but let's not act as though the mere thought of Trader Jack resurfacing again in a baseball uniform is 100% out of the question.
I dont care, Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. Hes in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.
But ya never know....

Certified Dietary Manager ToolKit: Your Future Awaits You
Recipe For A Fulfilling Career
As you consider a career in nutrition and foodservice, think about your future from many angles. There is a simple recipe for a fulfilling career: There must be a good match between your talents and the things you enjoy with the types of duties you will perform.
Not sure?
Consider your life experiences so far—with work, organizations you belong to, family, and friends. Try asking yourself these questions:
Name three things that you have enjoyed most in your life:
1. ___________________________________________________________________
2. ___________________________________________________________________
3. ___________________________________________________________________
Name three personal accomplishments that you are most proud of:
1. ___________________________________________________________________
2. ___________________________________________________________________
3. ___________________________________________________________________
Name three areas where you feel you have been most useful to others:
1. ___________________________________________________________________
2. ___________________________________________________________________
3. ___________________________________________________________________
Look over the list above. Name three of your skills:
1. ___________________________________________________________________
2. ___________________________________________________________________
3. ___________________________________________________________________
Next, name three of your main interests:
1. ___________________________________________________________________
2. ___________________________________________________________________
3. ___________________________________________________________________
Now, underline all of the items you've written that match a career in foodservice management. These may include enjoyment, success, and skills in areas such as producing a great meal, making others feel comfortable, motivating and teaching others, leading groups of people, solving problems, organizing the elements of a task, listening and communicating well, and working hard to see tangible results. It may involve talents such as strong interpersonal skills, culinary expertise, ability to meet deadlines, and creative thinking. See if your lists include an interest in health, nutrition, and food, too.
By now, you probably have an idea whether there is a match! A great career places you in the kind of job you can work hard at, feel good about, and find satisfying day after day... the kind of job that makes you look forward to going to work!
Exploring First-Hand
Another way to learn more about a career as a Certified Dietary Manager is to network with others. Talk with friends or acquaintances who have jobs in dietary management or related fields. See if you can visit them at work, or even "shadow" someone for a day to get the flavor of a job and its routines. Ask them what their jobs are like, and what their routines are at work. Ask what is most challenging and most fulfilling about the work. Ask what skills and talents they feel make them successful.
There are many ways to make contact. You can check with a local college where an ANFP Training Program is offered. Or, take a part-time job in a foodservice setting. Perhaps you would like to volunteer in a hospital, nursing home, or Meals-on-Wheels program. Any of these can give you more exposure to the types of organizations where foodservice managers may work. If you don't know anyone in these fields, you can also make contact with your state chapter of Association of Nutrition & Foodservice Professionals. (Check the ANFP website for information:

Chocolate Cheesecake Bars Recipe
3.5 3 3
When you don't have time to bake a real cheesecake, reach for this easy recipe. An almond-flavored dough serves as both crust and topping for a soft chocolatey filling. —Louise Good, Flemington, New Jersey
Recommended: 22 Easy Cheesecake Recipes
VERIFIED BY Taste of Home Test Kitchen
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1-1/2 cups sugar

"I was making this recipe to take to a meeting, and sampled a piece after baking. These bars were not good...the crust was extremely dry and the overall taste was not appetizing. I had to throw them out because I was not comfortable serving them to others. I followed the recipe exactly. I am very disappointed and will not be making these again."

The values represent the total revenues available to exploration and production companies from sales of crude oil and natural gas. Any currency conversions used in this report have been calculated using constant 2015 annual average exchange rates.
The German oil and gas market is forecast to generate total revenues of $47.6bn in 2016, representing a compound annual rate of change (CARC) of -18% between 2012 and 2016.
Market consumption volume is forecast to increase with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 1.8% between 2012 and 2016, to reach a total of 1,447.2 million boe in 2016.
The main factor influencing the recent performance of the world's oil and gas markets is the sharp decline in global crude oil price in 2015 and 2016. At its lowest point in January 2016, the price of Brent crude oil had fallen to just $30.70 per barrel.
