Abortion rights advocates say the centers should be more closely regulated. http://www.wral.com/news/state/nccapitol/blogpost/10293989/ ASSOCIATED PRESS: NC crisis pregnancy centers criticized in report -- Too many crisis pregnancy centers designed to discourage abortions are offering inaccurate information about the long-term health dangers of the procedure, and they often add a religious message to their counseling, an abortion-rights group alleged Monday. http://www.newsobserver.com/2011/10/24/1591649/nc-crisis-pregnancy-centers-criticized.html PUBLIC NEWS SERVICE: NC "Woman's Right to Know Act" Takes Effect Wednesday -- On Wednesday, the Woman's Right to Know Act takes effect in North Carolina. The law mandates a 24-hour waiting period before a woman can have an abortion, among other changes. It also requires that the state create a website to refer women to crisis pregnancy centers. However, a new investigation has found many of these centers are disseminating false medical information to North Carolina women as they consider their options in an unexpected pregnancy. Carey Pope, the executive director of NARAL Pro-Choice North Carolina, the group that conducted the investigation, says that is just not right. "Regardless of how you feel about the question of legal abortion, women should never be misled when seeking information at such a critical time in life." http://www.publicnewsservice.org/index.php?/content/article/22852-1 WUNC-FM: Report Claims Crisis Pregnancy Centers Give False Information -- A new report released by a reproductive rights organization says crisis pregnancy centers often provide pregnant women with inaccurate information. NARAL Pro-Choice North Carolina investigated 66 centers over the course of a year. The centers seek to discourage women from abortions by offering free ultrasounds. Carey Pope is NARAL North Carolina's executive director. She says 92 percent of clinics- called CPCs- investigated do not employ medical staff. "The lack of medical staff does not prevent CPCs from presenting themselves as medical clinics, including outfitting staffs in scrubs or white lab coats like those worn by doctors and nurses in hospitals and clinics. Our report shows that CPCs commonly provide inaccurate or false information." Pope says 26 percent of clinics told clients incorrectly that abortion leads to breast cancer.

Hagan praises progress at Rochelle Middle during visit to school -- Rochelle Middle School's principal, Nicholas Harvey, described the greeting U.S. Sen. Kay Hagan received Monday as the kind of reception usually reserved for a rock star, a fitting analogy for a school that has incorporated the arts into its curriculum and seen improvement in its test scores in recent years. "To have a U.S. senator on our campus is something our kids will never forget, and certainly something I as their principal will never forget. … The kids treated her like a rock star," Harvey said. Hagan, D-N.C., who sits on the U.S. Senate's Help, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee and is the sponsor of the School Turnaround and Rewards Act of 2011, spent about 90 minutes Monday touring Rochelle and visiting classrooms.

Rochelle Middle School was once a low performing school. It has dramatically improved its proficiency rates, jumping from 29% to 53%. Hagan is part of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions committee, which drafted legislation last week to make changes to No Child Left Behind. Hagan says, "When we have low performing schools, in many cases, there's different models that can be used to turn those schools around. Some cases it's actually to get a new principal and I wanted to be sure that a new principal that is brought in has the training on a turnaround school or had been effective at doing that before."

"Because they're being tested," said Fabrienne Kittrell, Music and Drama Teacher at Rochelle Middle. "And then you fail and then you gotta go back and be re-tested and be remediated. And that's an attack I think on students." "I think the expectations in a given period of time for every school was very cumbersome," said Sen.

Kunitz hat trick sparks Pens to 3rd straight win
WASHINGTON — Chris Kunitz is feeling a little better.
So are the Penguins.
Their 6-3 victory over the Washington Capitals at Verizon Center on Sunday was a third consecutive win since losing three of four. The Penguins have outscored opponents, 14-4, in their past three games.
Attitude is perhaps the biggest reason for wins at the New York Rangers, at home against New Jersey on Saturday and here. Left winger Matt Cooke, who notched his first goal Sunday, described it as "defense first," and coach Dan Bylsma noted a general "difference."
"(This) was the perfect example of a game that wasn't going all that smooth in the second period," Bylsma said.
The Capitals had pulled even, 2-2, on defenseman John Carlson's goal. From near his offensive-zone blue line, he dumped a puck off the boards. It angled sharply and skipped into a cage abandoned by Penguins goalie Thomas Vokoun, who had anticipated playing it behind the net.
That was a bad break.
The Penguins were in an equally bad spot 12 seconds later because of a boarding penalty taken by recently acquired left winger Zach Boychuk.
"We have to respond to that, continue to play consistent," Bylsma said. "We were stuck with that penalty-kill (situation) and had to come up really big.
"That response in the second half of that second period is more of the mentality our team needs to have."
The Penguins (6-3-0, 12 points) killed the penalty and held the Capitals to a goal on four power-play chances.
Defenseman Kris Letang and Kunitz (twice) scored goals to close the second, and the Penguins carried a comfortable three-goal cushion into the final period.
Opponents had outscored the Penguins, 12-4, in the second period entering the game.
The Capitals (2-6-1, 5 points), once the NHL's highest-octane offense, managed only 24 shots. Captain Alex Ovechkin, a two-time MVP now playing as a right winger instead of on the left side, managed five shots.
Penguins defensemen moved the puck quickly out of the zone, preventing Capitals forwards from creating much havoc in front of Vokoun, who spent last season with Washington.
"We needed more bodies around the net," Capitals right winger Troy Brouwer said. "We didn't have very many second opportunities. It was one and done."
Before this weekend, it had been one, then none, for Kunitz since scoring in the Penguins' opening win at Philadelphia on Jan. 19.
He awoke Wednesday in New York with flu symptoms. His breath smelled of lozenges inside the visitors' dressing room Sunday.
"Goals make you smile," Kunitz said.
A late one, with eight seconds remaining and the Penguins working a two-man advantage, clinched his third career hat trick.
Kunitz totaled four goals and six points in the Penguins' weekend wins.
"You know what to expect," said captain Sidney Crosby of Kunitz, the left winger who has become his constant linemate along with right winger Pascal Dupuis.
"(Kunitz) works hard, gets to a lot of loose pucks and creates a lot of pressure on other teams. Nobody likes to deal with him in front of the net."
Crosby, who recorded three assists in this victory, was among the Penguins who dismissed the panic that many fans felt after a home loss to the New York Islanders on Wednesday.
"Frustration was creeping in because we expected a certain level that maybe wasn't there," Crosby said. "That's something we have to create."
Or at least maintain.
A return engagement with the Islanders, this one at Nassau Coliseum, is Tuesday night.

A new study is causing a lot of confusion-and showing that science and social media might not mix. Research published in the journal Cell Metabolism has made a lot of headlines with findings that a high protein diet means an increased risk of dying from cancer.
That headline quickly spread across social media. But Kansas State University Human Nutriontist Mark Haub points out that it doesn't tell the whole truth.
"I think the study is valuable in that I think it does show we need to investigate this further," Haub said. "A problem is when the headlines come across in social media, they allude to cause effect and so if somebody is only looking at headlines or the first paragraph, they may see that and say oh I need to avoid protein when in fact, due to the weaknesses of the study, that's not going to be the case for everybody."
Haub says the study found that adults between 50 and 65 that ate more protein did show a higher risk of dying from cancer. However adults over 65 had a decreased risk of death. Haub cautions people to look past 140 characters and don't choose a diet or way of life just based on what's trending.
"Social media is a great way to get information, but people need a filter and to be educated on what some of the problems may be when looking at health related information and trying to make judgments or decisions about what might be best for them," Haub added.

Import and export works with BibTeX
Our BibTeX tools allow you to:
- Import your research works from a BibTeX (.bib) file into your ORCID record
- Export your ORCID works into a BibTeX file
We strongly recommend that you use the works Search & Link wizards or connections in private systems, such as your university, to import/export works. This will reduce or eliminate errors, as well as enabling a reliable link between your ORCID iD and your works. General information about works in your ORCID record can be found at Add Works.
- About BibTeX
- Importing works from a BibTex file
- Exporting works into a BibTeX file
- BibTeX issues and troubleshooting
- Help make our BibTeX parser better
BibTeX is a platform-independent, plain-text format used for bibliographic citations. BibTeX files can be created and edited using many popular reference management tools, such as Google Scholar Citations, EndNote, Papers, etc.
BibTeX is the preferred citation format on the ORCID record. When other systems add works to your ORCID record, we strongly encourage that they also include a BibTeX citation. If they have provided a BibTeX citation, then that is what will be visible in the details view of your ORCID record, and what will be exported, rather than the ORCID-generated BibTeX citation.
Importing works from a BibTeX file
Using the BibTeX import tool, you can import your research works from systems that have not yet built a connection with ORCID. We test our import tool with BibTeX generated from standard BibTeX providers including Google Scholar Citations.
You will be listed as the source for works added using the BibTeX import tool, and you can manually edit these works after you have imported them.
To import a list of works saved in a BibTeX file into your ORCID record:
- In the works section of your record go to Add works, then select Import BibTeX.
- Click Choose File to open the file menu, then select the BibTeX (.bib) file you want to import.
- The publications from the file will appear in a list. Select the save icon (disk) next to a work to add the work individually, the delete icon (trash bin) to delete the work individually, or Save all to add all of the publications at once.
- The publications will appear listed under works in your record.
Exporting works into a BibTeX file
Using the BibTeX export tool, you can export all works on your ORCID record into a BibTeX (.bib) file. As of February 2017, the tool exports works regardless of visibility; an upgrade to enable export of individual items is in development.
The tool exports data as is, and defaults to the existing BibTeX citation in the work's metadata. If a work does not have an existing BibTeX citation, then one is created for it. This may create issues for poorly-formatted BibTeX and for multiple character encodings -- see BibTeX issues and troubleshooting (below) for more information.
To export the works on your ORCID record into a BibTeX file:
- In the Works section of your record, select Export works.
- In next box, click Export. The export will begin immediately and the BibTeX file will automatically download to your default download folder.
- You can then import it into the system(s) of your choice.
BibTeX issues and troubleshooting
The metadata exchanged via ORCID's BibTeX import/export features is limited in comparison to that which is exchanged through the normal machine-to-machine connections built by our member organizations. We therefore recommend that you only use BibTeX to import/export works if there is no other option.
These are some potential issues when using BibTeX files with your ORCID record:
Importing BibTeX
- Non-standard BibTeX: Not every system uses the same BibTeX standard; some systems also accept modified BibTeX. If you experience any import issues, try isolating the problematic citation by splitting the file in half and importing again. If you are unable to find the error, contact us and include the BibTeX file and the system you used to generate it.
- Limited grouping: Works are grouped in your ORCID record based on unique identifiers. Since BibTeX only supports a limited number of identifiers (DOI, ISBN, ISSN), if your imported work does not include an identifier, it may not group on your record.
- Encoding issues: Our BibTeX tool imports data as it is encoded in the BibTeX. Special characters may not import properly. Let us know if you experience any issues, as we may need to update our parser.
Exporting BibTeX
- We export existing BibTeX and metadata: The ORCID tool exports the existing BibTeX citation for a work; if one doesn't exist, it generates BibTeX from the work's metadata. If the original BibTeX added by you or a trusted party had errors, they will be reproduced in the export.
- Encoding issues: Our BibTeX tool exports data in the same character encoding as was added to our Registry. These may not be ready properly by the systems you import your BibTeX citations into.
- Limited metadata: BibTeX does not support all metadata available on the ORCID record, such as the data's source, multiple URLs, and additional identifiers, so this information will not be exported.
Help make our BibTeX parser better
ORCID is an open-source project that relies strongly on community support. We welcome your contributions to the improvement of our BibTeX parser – submit them in our Github repository.

A two-year inspection program is included with the GleanerCare package. Inspections and services are performed and recorded on each S8 Series combine with a GleanerCare certified decal. If the farmer chooses to sell a combine with GleanerCare, coverage is transferred with the combine.
GleanerCare is available from any GleanerCare dealer for $1,500. For more information, visit www.GleanerCombines.com

I'm Randall Dickerson, an amateur genealogist of Mvskoke(Muscogee)/Cherokee/English/Scotch ancestry.
The surnames I seek are DICKERSON, ARGO, HODGES, LOWREY, BILLINGSLEY, SCOGGINS, ARMSTRONG, WATKINS, BYARS, JENKINS, BRITT, SORRELLS, SMITH, BOLAN, BURKS throughout the Southeastern United States.
At my Mothers' death it dawned on me how little I knew of my heritage. In Alabama, as in most places in the early 20th century, one did not admit to being anything but *white* for fear of economic or physical retribution (loss of job, destruction of property, etc.). Since her death and burial in 1988 I have been on a quest to discover that past.
My DICKERSON line came to Alabama from Trousdale County, Tennesse, Albemarle County, Virginia, and England, according to my not yet fully documented sources. The ARGO and BRITT lines in Jefferson County, Alabama, go back to Tallapoosa County, Alabama, and abruptly vanish. My Argo Grandfather insisted that his Muscogee ancestors fought against Andrew Jackson in the battle of Horseshoe Bend.
My HODGES ancestors came from South Carolina and the BILLINGSLEY clan from Georgia, each with murky histories they did not share.
So far, I have found Civil War Veterans in the HODGES and BRITT lines, and one possible DICKERSON veteran.
I'm also a Cemetery enthusiast and a member of the Alabama Cemetery Preservation Alliance.

Opera Lafayette is proud to announce a new teaching residency at Rutgers University, beginning with the 2015-16 production of Catone in Utica.
Since its inception, Opera Lafayette has been conducting in-school educational programming in Washington, DC, working with many public and private secondary and middle schools. Opera Lafayette has also partnered with other organizations, such as the Alliance Française, to bring educational programs into these schools.
Students participate in interactive classroom sessions with Opera Lafayette artists and present their work in community performances with Opera Lafayette. With Opera Lafayette choreographers students have interpreted and danced the central dramatic action of opera ballets. With the company's young-artist singers they have learned and sung the popular 18th-century songs which close many comic operas. Students have also presented artwork they created in response to the music and story of an opera, and have created their own translations and narrations of works Opera Lafayette has performed.

SUBMITTED: Saturday, April 19, 2014POSTED: Saturday, April 19, 2014
I too have been taken for a great deal of money, not just from the 'business coaching services' but from the financial services, web hosting and drop shipping companies as well. They are all in it together so to me one is just as guilty as the other. I am going after ALL of them and filing complaints with numerous agencies(FTC, BBB UTAH, UTAH Div of Consumer Protection as well as my state Div of Consumer Protection). The more I think about it the angrier I get and I will NOT allow myself to be taken advantage of like this. I am also filing disputes through all of my credit card companies. I will keep you posted.

text: I ordered a new Avant at the beginning of the month and I'm (very) impatiently waiting for it to go into build. I'm going to mither the dealer this week to get the rear window blinds put into the spec, but have been whether to stump up for the B&O / DAB too. My original thoughts on those were: DAB: I don't really listen to the radio that much, it's ipod all the way really. B&O: I like my music, but I listen more to audiobooks and I'm nothing of an audiophile. -- I like music like chemical brothers / prodigy & 80s rock! I've read alot of people raving about the B&O online & I wonder if ommiting the DAB might hurt the resalability of the car (though I do intend to keep it for a good while). I'm pretty much on the limit of what I wanted to spend, but I'm sure I could find the £££ - likewise I could happily spend the money on something else! What would you do?

I can't imagine barrel life would have been very good at those velocities, either. That's a lot of powder to blast down an awfully small hole.
I have a copy of "The Book of the 22: The All-American Caliber " by Sam Fadala. It's a great read on the history of the .22, both centerfire and rimfire cartridges. I thought the .22 PPC was an interesting cartridge - good muzzle velocity and supreme accuracy. For a "super" .22 caliber, the .226 Barnes QT is almost freakish, shooting a 125 grain bullet that looked like an Oscar Mayer weiner out of a barrel with 5-1/2 twist (QT = Quick Twist).
Overall, the author makes a great case for small calibers taking down big game provided the loads contain the proper bullet, i.e. one designed to penetrate and expand rather than fragment like a varmint bullet.
Yea good solid base bullet and placement with small Cal's are a must for taking big game lots are taking each year with
small Cal's. barrel life would be short but tech is here to make a long lasting barrel Problem is they have not develop bullets yet to stay together at those speeds one day soon you will see it.

- Released: Oct 7, 1987
- Sound: 9
- Lyrics: 8
- Overall Impression: 9
Users' score:
(8 votes)
Sound — 9
The second album by Bay Metal thrash masters, Exodus and the first album to feature Steve "Zetro" Souza on vocals. The album has that old fast, bad sound quality, thrash feel that all true metal heads enjoy. This album is a good "bridge" album. A bridge album is basically an album that does a good job of paving the way for the next album. In this case, the next album would be Fabulous disaster, which was a phenomenal album. While the album may not have been a Billboard topper like "Tempo Of The Damned" or "Force Of Habit", "Pleasures Of The Flesh" was still pretty damn good.
Lyrics — 8
The lyrics on the album were not bad. They were better than decent, but not great. The speed singing of Souza and the fast paced riffs of Holt and Hunolt, mix pretty well. They blend, and even with the bad sound quality of 1987, it still sounds pretty good. The singers skills are pretty good. Steve has always been my favorite Exodus frontman, his lyrics are great on other albums with songs like "Scar Spangled Banner". His skills are better than Gene Baloff, my opinion. The lyrics and vocals on this album, are overall pretty good. Could be better, but they could be worse.
Overall Impression — 9
This isn't the BEST Exodus album, but not the worst in my opinion. I will admit that, and I am a dedicated Exodus fan. I've been listening to Exodus since I was about 2 years old. The best songs on the album are probably "Parasite", "Brain Dead", "30 Seconds", "Chemi-Kill", and "Seeds Of Hate". I love a lot about this album. There are a few things I don't like, such as the sound quality. But that can't be helped. I would buy this again if I lost it. For one, I have a massive CD collection to maintain, and two, I just love these guys and would buy it again. I recommend this and other Exodus albums to any fans of Testament, Megadeth, Metallica, Anthrax, Slayer, Sepultura, etc.

Huawei Looks to U.S. Market, Sells Ascend P1 Smartphone via Amazon

Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
It's hoping to reach more U.S. customers
Huawei is now selling its Ascend P1 smartphone through Amazon in an attempt to attract customers from the U.S. to its products.
Huawei is a
Chinese telecommunications maker
that has made little headway as far as sales go in the United States, but through the use of Amazon, the company is looking to reach this audience.
The Ascend P1 is an Android-powered smartphone with a 4.3-inch Super AMOLED display, a 1.5 GHz dual-core processor, an 8 MP camera and 1 GB of RAM. It's also very slim at 7.6 millimeters.
"The Ascend P1 is perfect for consumers looking to get the most out of their device," said Michael Chuang, Executive Vice President of Huawei Device USA. "Whether it's for playing games, streaming music and videos, or sharing multimedia in the home or workplace, the Ascend P1 offers unparalleled performance and a truly unique mobile experience."
Huawei hopes to compete with other Android-powered devices like those made by Samsung. Android is the
most popular smartphone operating system in the U.S.
, followed by iOS.
The Ascend P1 is available unlocked for
$449.99 on Amazon
Earlier this week, Huawei found itself in hot water when it allegedly
offered a bid
to sell
€1.3M ($1.7 million USD) worth of equipment to Mobile Telecommunication Comp. of Iran (MCI).
Huawei and other Chinese telecommunication firms are contractually forbidden from reselling electronics from U.S. companies to Iran, and doing so could hurt their relationship with U.S. OEMs.
Huawei denied ever producing the document, and instead blamed
one of its major local partners, Skycom Tech Co Ltd.
"I'm an Internet expert too. It's all right to wire the industrial zone only, but there are many problems if other regions of the North are wired." -- North Korean Supreme Commander Kim Jong-il

John Hamm Performing Arts Series
The John Hamm Performing Arts Series brings world-renowned musical artists to Covenant's campus to offer recitals and educational opportunities that serve students as well as the surrounding Chattanooga and Lookout Mountain communities.
Through the performing arts series, each featured artist offers a recital on campus as well as master classes and opportunities for one-on-one voice lessons or coaching in specific repertoire. The recitals and master classes are free and open to the public, thanks to the partnership of generous donors.
The series is named after former Covenant professor Dr. John Hamm and is coordinated by David Tahere, assistant professor of music. Hamm served in the music department at Covenant for more than thirty years. During his tenure at Covenant, Hamm was known for his investment in the Chattanooga music community. In 1985, he founded Choral Arts of Chattanooga, which still provides the city with choral music, thirty years later.
The performing arts series seeks to carry on Hamm's legacy of engaging with and giving back to the local music community. Recital tickets are available, free of charge, by completing this ticket request form, by emailing email@example.com, or by calling 706.419.1459.
The John Hamm Performing Arts Series 2016-2017 Season
We are excited to formally announce the 2016-2017 concerts as part of the John Hamm Performing Arts Series at Covenant College. Our first season succeeded in bringing eclectic, high-level musicians to our campus to showcase the variety and artistry possible when God's good gifts are developed. Our students and and surrounding community were inspired by their generosity, knowledge, and fervor.
We are pleased to once again offer a varied panel of gifted artists, and will continue to offer public master classes for our students and outreach events both on and off the mountain as a part of each residency.
Schaafritz & Sean Kennard

Mr. Holritz has performed as soloist, orchestral, and chamber musician in Canada, England, Austria, South Africa, Japan, and in more than 20 states around the continental United States. Firmly committed to training the next generation of musicians, this fall Mr. Holrtiz joined the faculty of Covenant College as adjunct instructor of violin. Noted for her "beautiful tone and vibrato," Kristen Holritz makes her home on stage as a remarkably versatile flutist. In addition to her orchestral responsibilities, she appears with the Chattanooga Symphony Wind Quintet in schools across Tennessee, Georgia and Alabama in efforts to engage and enrich the community through music. Pianist Sean Kennard, making his Chattanooga debut, joins his friends on our stage for an engaging evening of Bach, Chopin, Grieg, and Rota. Sean has won top prizes in numerous international competitions and has appeared as a soloist in orchestras across the world. He is a renowned recording artist, decorated with highest reviews.

"Megachurch wants choir to sign anti-gay covenant," blared the headline USAToday.com gave a March 16 Associated Press (AP) story today.
But the story itself reveals the document in question -- Crystal Cathedral Worship Choir and Worship Team Covenant -- simply states traditional, biblically-based Christian doctrine on marriage and sexual ethics.
Here's the offending passage, according to the AP:
"I understand that in an era where images of family relationship and personal sexuality are often confused, Crystal Cathedral Ministries believes that it is important to teach and model the biblical view," the covenant reads. "I understand that Crystal Cathedral Ministries teaches that sexual intimacy is intended by God to only be within the bonds of marriage, between one man and one woman."
Yes. That's it. It's hardly an "anti-gay covenant."
Indeed, according to a church official, it's somewhat of a toothless document as it doesn't bind choir members to behave a certain way, just to acknowledge they understand the church's teachings (emphasis mine):
John Charles, a spokesman for the cathedral, said this does not mean gays are banned from the choir.
"This contract is to educate choir members about what our church believes in," he said.
The AP picked up on this story following original reporting on the matter on Tuesday by the Orange County [Calif.] Register.
As to that original report, Bobby Ross Jr. at the Get Religion blog has an excellent take-down of the loaded, biased reporting of the Register.
Here's an excerpt:
Question: How many named sources does it take to ignite a full-blown national controversy over a church choir?
Answer: Zero.
At least that appears to be the case if the choir involved is tied to the "financially troubled Crystal Cathedral."
The Orange County Register reports in a 1,000-word news story:
GARDEN GROVE — Choir members at the financially troubled Crystal Cathedral say they are upset by a covenant they have been asked to sign that places a strong emphasis on them being heterosexual and Christian.
The "Crystal Cathedral Worship Choir and Worship Team Covenant," recently handed out to members, states that members should commit to being Christians by following the Bible in every way.
Former and current choir members say they are particularly offended by a statement in the document that refers to homosexuality. Long-time church members say this is the first time they have seen the cathedral take a firm stand against homosexuality and are disturbed by it.
The covenant states: "I understand that in an era where images of family relationship and personal sexuality are often confused, Crystal Cathedral Ministries believes that it is important to teach and model the biblical view. I understand that Crystal Cathedral Ministries teaches that sexual intimacy is intended by God to only be within the bonds of marriage, between one man and one woman."
The lede gives the impression that the entire choir is upset by the covenant, although the story leaves unclear exactly how many members comprise the group.
But guess how many current choir members are quoted — by name — in the story? I think we already answered that question.
About 700 words into the story, an anonymous choir member is quoted:
A church member who has been with the Crystal Cathedral choir for the last 19 years said she will quit if she is required to sign the covenant.
"I have already told them I won't sign it," said the choir member, who asked not to be identified. "We have had gays in the choir before. I'm not gay. But I don't believe in what they're saying."
The choir member says she doesn't agree with the statement that choir members should be "Christian" either.

Citrix Online Helps CPAs Speed Up Tax Returns With Real-time Access and Collaboration
CPA firms discuss how they access their files at work from home, in the field, anytime, easily and securely.
July 17, 2008
Sponsored by GoToMyPC®
During the busy days leading up to the tax deadline, many accountants wish they could be in at least two places at once. That's easy for Penny Breslin, thanks to real-time collaboration software-as-a-service (SaaS) from Citrix Online, a division of Citrix Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CTXS). Without leaving her desk in Massachusetts, Breslin, who is the director of professional services for XPI TAX, an industry leader in providing tax and bookkeeping services to the accounting industry, routinely meets with clients and employees from India to Indianapolis for training, sales presentations and more. Her secret? Citrix® GoToMeeting® Web conferencing and collaboration. "With GoToMeeting, everybody's working better and faster," said Breslin. "It takes the anonymity out of outsourcing. People become real, no matter where they are and everything just zooms."
Throughout the accounting industry, the story is much the same: Too many clients to meet with and too little time for training and business development. Increasingly, firms are turning to Citrix Online solutions — GoToMeeting Web conferencing and online meeting service, Citrix® GoToWebinar™ Web events made easy, Citrix® GoToMyPC® remote access and Citrix® GoToAssist™ remote support — to solve the dilemmas of time and distance. Those firms, which routinely handle sensitive information, appreciate that all of these solutions feature advanced secure communication architectures with industry-standard SSL and U.S. government-standard 128-bit AES end-to-end encryption. Customers also appreciate GoToMeeting's All You Can Meet™ flat-fee pricing, which means there's no limit on the number or duration of meetings.
Another productivity strategy CPAs employ during the tax season is to use GoToMyPC for fast, easy and secure access to office PCs from any Web browser or wireless device. This enables CPAs and accountants to work from home, a boon to efficiency and morale. "GoToMyPC gives us the secure 24/7 access to everything we need," said Kyle Brengel, principal, at a leading New York State accounting firm, Gentile Pismeny & Brengel. "We're working better and smarter. It's also great for employee morale. If somebody can see their daughter or son's baseball game and still be productive, they love it. People sometimes work 12 or more hours a day this time of year. With GoToMyPC we can do it all."
GoToAssist — Technical Support Becomes a Competitive Advantage
For CPAs that need help desk and technical support on the fly, Citrix GoToAssist remote support enables a firm to empower their IT staff to deliver an instant fix over the Web. GoToAssist allows help-desk experts to chat online and with permission, take remote control of the accountant's PC to see the problem first-hand and resolve the issue in real time. This eliminates costly downtime and enhances productivity. "If you can increase your efficiency in this business you're saving money and delivering even better value to your clients," said James E. Wood, partner at Eubank and Betts, a leading Mississippi accounting firm that uses GoToMyPC to work on files at a moment's notice. "GoToMyPC gives us the capability and the flexibility to easily and securely work from home or in the field anytime we need to increase capacity and productivity. And when we eliminate travel and get more done faster, our clients love us. In a very real sense, Citrix Online has manufactured additional time for us during tax season." "Delivering greater capacity for our customers with greater simplicity is central to our unique approach to real-time access and collaboration," said Mike Mansbach, vice president of enterprise marketing and business development at Citrix Online. "Accountants understand the value and enjoy the simplicity of these on-demand services that help accelerate their business."

In Defense of Low-Hanging Fruit
A couple days ago, Sara Goldrick-Rab posted a tweet that I haven't been able to shake. (In the world of Twitter, a tweet that lasts a couple of days is a classic.) She asked if anyone has done work looking at the consequences of change efforts always focusing on "low-hanging fruit."
It's easy to see where that critique could go. Some problems are easier to solve than others, and if we mostly focus on the easy ones, we'll leave the hard ones unsolved. Over time, the hard ones may just get harder. And if you come to it with a sociological bent, the people whose problems are the easiest to solve are usually the ones with more significant resources -- cultural, social, or monetary, or some combination thereof -- which means that a "low-hanging fruit" strategy will tend to benefit those who least need it, and ignore those who most need it. It's easier to see results when working with someone who has one problem than when working with someone with six.
There's a lot of truth in that. When you have limited resources, you have to be choosy about which problems to attack. Pick something too big, and you might as well pick nothing at all. But the temptation to rack up quick wins can allow harder problems to fester indefinitely.
Or not. And that's where I'll start a limited defense of low-hanging fruit.
From an administrative perspective, I'm much less bothered by failure than by fatalism. Failure can be remedied by trying again using a strategy refined by the information gained by the first attempt. But fatalism, once it gets going, is tough to shake. It can become self-perpetuating, both by discouraging positive effort and through a sort of confirmation bias, in which any bad news, however partial or irrelevant, is taken as confirmation that all is hopeless. ("It's raining again? THANKS, OBAMA!") In practice, the difference between an experiment and a disaster is whether you get to try again. In a fatalistic culture, you won't. Maintaining a sufficiently positive climate that people will keep trying may not guarantee success, but it will make success a lot likelier.
Scoring some early, conspicuous successes can inoculate against fatalism. It can buy the credibility to allow for subsequent riskier moves with longer-term payoff. It can keep a team moving in a positive direction, and provide a better likelihood of continued resources.
If you do it right, and catch a break or two, those early successes make it possible later to attack the Big Hairy Tenacious issues that would have eaten you alive if you had started with them. A few years ago, Theresa Amabile made a similar argument in her book (with Steven Kramer) The Progress Principle. She found that organizations get better results over time when they allow employees to accumulate series of small wins, rather than always waiting for the one big one. The emotional momentum of a winning streak binds people together, and encourages intelligent, if escalating, risks. Skip the buildup, though, and the odds of success drop.
The danger, of course, is losing the narrative line. The point of small victories is not to run up the score; it's to build the momentum for bigger ones. That requires some level of patience, and, relatedly, low turnover. Given the political and demographic winds many of us are facing, that kind of patience is becoming rare. Moves that everyone would recognize as "impulsive" in better times might pass for "decisive" when folks get desperate. Pull a few of those, and all of that carefully-built momentum is squandered. When an impulsive move ends badly, you've just handed live ammo to the fatalists.
To be fair, it's also possible to lose the narrative line through complacency. Small wins can become ends in themselves, especially in the absence of a larger vision. Some people are good at visions but impatient with small steps; others are good at small steps but lack vision. For the low-hanging fruit strategy to work optimally, you need people with both.
None of this is to dismiss Goldrick-Rab's concerns. She's right that it's easy sometimes to dodge difficult issues by pleading pragmatism. ("We can't ask for funding parity. Be realistic!") But an initial focus on smallish victories may not imply a lack of vision, or political cowardice. It may be part of a wise, if difficult, long-term strategy in the service of a vision.
<< Home
I'd argue, like you might be doing, that the odds are that the student with 6 problems shares one of them with the student with only one obvious problem. Attack the low-hanging fruit and you make the bigger problem smaller.
I think, too, that it's not either/or - many institutions have a portfolio of projects, ranging from easy wins to blue-sky stuff. But if you don't have the flexibility in the organization of have that range, then as DD says, it's easier to build to that point by showing some modest and concrete successes.
When the fruits of victory, big or small, belong to someone else it's gonna be difficult to get buy-in from the peons.
Failure rates up, my department budget gets cut (as a 'consequence'). Failure rates down, upper administration get plaudits (and my budget is frozen because of 'austerity').
Cynical? At my institution it's just realism, when facing a one-way ratchet…

In a world full of conservatives, it's best to aim low and wait for larger opportunities to come along.
"I'd argue, like you might be doing, that the odds are that the student with 6 problems shares one of them with the student with only one obvious problem. Attack the low-hanging fruit and you make the bigger problem smaller. "
I think that that point was that the trick with somebody who has 6 problems is that they reinforce each other. It's harder to deal with 1 out of 6 than the only one.

Time for a refresher course in cost-benefit analysis. How much of the so-called low-hanging fruit has a low, or negative, benefit-cost ratio?Post a Comment

Diligent sees no need to restate earnings after review of executive options
Feb. 22 (BusinessDesk) – Diligent Board Member Services, whose shares have more than doubled in the past 12 months, sees no need to restate earnings after reviewing a report into executive options that may not have complied with its incentive schemes.
The shares, halted pending the report, will resume trading today.
"At this time, the Diligent Board, based on advice received from its advisors and the position of its auditors, does not consider that there is a need for Diligent to restate its financial statements," it said.
"The amount of expense to be recognized in future periods as a result of the cancellation and any replacement of the previously disclosed affected options will be determined after resolution of such matters, the company said.
The company, whose Diligent Boardbooks software helps directors to manage corporate governance information flows, had its stock halted this week pending receipt of the report from an accounting firm. Diligent set up a special committee in December after being notified that some options and shares granted to executives may not have complied with the relevant incentive plans.
Last month Diligent said the committee had found that a 2009 award to chief executive Alessandro Sodi exceeded the cap in the 2007 Plan by 1.6 million shares and a 2011 award exceeded the cap in the 2010 Plan by 2.5 million shares. A 2011 award to another executive exceeded the cap in the 2010 Plan by 250,000 shares.
The committee also identified a number of instances where Diligent may not have been in compliance with New Zealand regulations such as granting stock options to employees in the absence of a prospective.
Shares of Diligent last traded at $5.35 on the NZX, valuing the company at $448 million. The stock traded at just 7 cents in March 2009.

This painting was short-listed for the WAY 2016 (Wildlife Artist of the Year) at the Mall Galleries in London.
What he strives to do in his portrayal of Nature, is to bring the onlooker into the subject's world using basic human instincts such as pity and inquisitiveness – without being sentimental – whilst at the same time illustrating a little of the fascinating depth & detail that this sometimes little known world to some, has to offer. Also subtly lurking in the background of his work, is an impending sense of impermanence, which, although the artist is an optimist, reflects what he feels is happening in today's 'global' society.

Speedo Print Kickboard
OK, fine, technically this kickboard is for kids. But no one needs a raft to stay afloat when kicking. A little buoyancy goes a long way... and smaller kickboards are easier do to flip turns with. "Flip turns when kicking?" you say. That's right: as you approach the wall just fold your arms (at the shoulders) and the board straight toward your waist and do your normal flip turn. And don't panic in the middle, it's exactly the same motion. Always a crowd pleaser. Just like a bubble-gum pink kickboard.

Nunsthorpe (sometimes known locally as The Nunny, or by its nickname of Garden City) is a suburb and housing estate in the western part of Grimsby, North East Lincolnshire, England. It is situated between Laceby Road (A46) and Scartho Road (A1243), which respectively form its northern and eastern boundaries.
There are over 2,400 homes on the estate, mostly former council properties now owned by the Shoreline Housing Partnership. There is a small area belonging to the Havelok/Northern Counties housing associations and a small area of private sector housing. There are a number of privately owned former council houses purchased under the Right to Buy scheme.
The pre-Second World War development in the eastern part of the estate is known as Old Nunsthorpe while the post-war development is called New Nunsthorpe. To the west lies the Bradley Park Estate which contains around 430 dwellings, also mostly Shoreline properties. The combined population of Nunsthorpe and Bradley Park is approximately 8,000.
To the north, on the other side of Laceby Road, is the Grange Estate and on the eastern boundary, in Scartho Road, is Grimsby Swimming Pool, which is currently under threat of closure. The Scartho Top private housing estate lies to the south. Nunsthorpe and Bradley Park are part of the Grimsby South ward of North East Lincolnshire unitary authority. The two estates are also within the area served by the South ward neighbourhood team of Humberside Police, based at the police station on Laceby Road.
In 2010 improvements to Nunsthorpe were acknowledged by the environmental campaign group Keep Britain Tidy. A quality mark was awarded after an independent assessment of improvement work undertaken on the estate by Shoreline and partners, Humberside Police and North East Lincolnshire Council, with the assistance of residents.

Sep 25, 2012 - By Becky Orr, For The Associated PressWith Wyoming's population projected to become the fourth-oldest in the nation within 20 years, the state needs to consider today how it will provide funding for future services for older residents.
Experts in elder care say it's important to take time now to better understand available resources and how and older person could use them.
More geriatric care also will be needed. The state is not ready for a major increase in older populations, said Christine McKibbin, director of the Wyoming Geriatric Education Center at the University of Wyoming.
Wyoming isn't alone.
The Institute of Medicine of the National Academies found the United States is "woefully unprepared" for the challenges of the aging population, she said.
65-plus group to double
The Census Bureau expects the national population of those 65 years old and older to climb to 88.5 million by 2050 from 40.2 million in 2010.
Many seniors function at a very high level and are healthy, McKibbin said. For others, their needs can be fairly complex.
The Wyoming Geriatric Education Center recently surveyed health care providers in Wyoming. Of the 214 responses, a large percentage said at least 25 percent of their caseloads are 65 years old and older. But 80 percent of these health care workers lacked formal training in geriatrics.
The center provides education to health care professionals and those training for future care in geriatrics. It soon will help train professionals about Alzheimer's disease. The free training will be offered at workshops across the state and a webinar series this fall.
Specialists needed
Wyoming also needs to recruit more geriatric specialists, McKibbin said.
Getting more of these specialists is difficult because of additional training costs and low pay relative to other disciplines. The specialty needs better reimbursement of care to help make it a more viable career choice, she said.
Is this a problem? Some say not really.
Dick O'Gara, a Cheyenne economist, said he agreed with the population projections. "But I don't view this as a potential crisis. I think the market forces will address the issues," he said.

The producers of the film felt relieved when a court on Monday, dismissed Warner Bros's petition against 'Mirchi Movies', the makers of Bollywood film Hari Puttar over the claimed similarities in the title and content of the international film Harry Potter.
The premiere of the film was attended by cast and the crew of the film and Bollywood's glitterati. The film is directed by Lucky Kohli and Rajesh Bajaj. It stars Sarika, Jackie Shroff, Zain Khan, Swini Khara, Saurabh Shukla and Vijay Raaz.
Hari Puttar is the story of a young boy fighting two criminals who try to steal a secret formula devised by boy's scientist father. Actress Sarika who has returned to Bollywood after a hiatus felt that film was truly meant for the children.
"It is a film full of fun and there won't be any tears and no sad moments. It is a kind of film which promises a lot of fun and that is there. It is a very sweet film which is truly for the children," said Sarika. Child artiste, Zain Khan who plays the main protagonist Hari Puttar in the film said that he had really worked very hard for this role.
"It (enacting the role of Hari Puttar) was not tough at all actually because I really rehearsed and practiced a lot for this role. I used to take the script home and read it in front of mirror so that I could mug it," said Zain.
Lyricists Sameer, Vishal Navnit and Kuku Prabhash have penned the lyrics of the film while music director duo of Aadesh Shrivastav and Guru Sharma have given the music. The film is slated for September 26 release
