Taking the challenge
Wheaton group joins White House initiative to boost service and cross-cultural understanding
A team of students, faculty and administrators from Wheaton traveled to the nation's capital to take part in a national gathering organized by the White House to increase community service activities and intergroup dialogue on college campuses throughout the United States.
Wheaton President Ronald Crutcher, students Atiyyah Sabir '14 and Ciara Sidell '15, Professor Barbara Darling Smith and Dean Vereene Parnell participated in the daylong Campus 2012 Summer Gathering, which was held at Howard University.
Speakers for the program included U.S. Department of Education Undersecretary Martha Kanter, IFYC's founder and president, Eboo Patel, the Corporation for National and Community Service, CEO, Wendy Spencer. Also, from the White House, Executive Director of the White House Office of Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships and Special Assistant to the President, Joshua DuBois, and Cecilia Munoz, Director of the White House Domestic Policy Council.
After returning to campus, Dean Parnell reflected on the event, "We returned tired but inspired to accept the President's Challenge.
"We were all wowed by Eboo Patel, founder of the Interfaith Youth Corps, and inspired by programs from campuses around the country addressing such issues as food scarcity and justice, educational access and success, environmental stewardship, and human trafficking," she said. "We also thoroughly enjoyed networking with students, faculty and staff from large and small, public and private, religious and secular colleges."

Steubenville Rape Trial Verdict To Be Handed Down This Morning [UPDATED: Guilty]
UPDATE [2]: Mays has been sentenced to serve two years consecutively at minimum, or until he is 21 at maximum. Richmond has been sentenced to serve one year at minimum, or until he is 21 at maximum. Both will be required to register as juvenile sex offenders. Both may not have contact with the victim at least until they are 21. They will both be taken into custody today. Judge Lipps responds to calls for leniency by saying such leniency was shown by not trying the defendants as adults.
UPDATE: Trent Mays and Ma'lik Richmond have been found guilty on all three counts. The prosecutor has asked Judge Tom Lipps to consider the harassment and victim-blaming the victim also dealt with when deciding sentencing. "The absolute disregard for another human being can not go unpunished." One of the defense lawyers teared up and asked for a moment to collect himself. You can watch a livestream here.
Trent Mays stood up and apologized for "taking pictures" and "sending pictures around." "No pictures should have been taken," Mays said before sitting down. Mays makes no mention of the actual sexual assault. Ma'lik Richmond approached the victim who was sitting in the courtroom, and broke down in tears as he apologized, speaking in non-specific terms. Richmond's father asked Judge Lipps for forgiveness.
EARLIER: The judge in the Steubenville, Ohio, rape trial — in which Trent Mays, 17, and Ma'lik Richmond, 16, are accused of sexually assaulting a 16-year-old female classmate — will be rendering his verdict today at 10 a.m. EST. We'll be updating this post when the verdict is delivered. Yesterday, the prosecution ended their four-day presentation of evidence with the victim taking the stand and describing what she does and does not remember about that night. The New York Times recaps her testimony here, and AtlanticWire.com recaps it here. Additionally, the prosecution's case also included testimony from three witnesses, who were granted immunity, who described what they saw that night. You can read a recap of their testimonies here.

VB: Heels top Cal, advance to second round
Posted November 29, 2012
Ames, Iowa — North Carolina topped California 3-1 (26-24, 25-23, 18-25, 25-16) Thursday night at Iowa State's Hilton Coliseum as the Tar Heels claimed their third-straight trip to the second round of the NCAA tournament.
"I'm just so proud of the team to be able to come back again and win a first-round match against a tough opponent in Cal, a school with a traditionally powerful program," UNC head coach Joe Sagula said. "Although we came in with the higher RPI, I don't know that we were the favored team. I thought we had a lot to prove to ourselves, most importantly that we can play at this level."
"I thought our defense tonight was outstanding, with Ece playing as an unsung hero, and Chaniel was a real force at the net in blocking. It was a close match, and I'm really excited for the team and to move on to the next round," Sagula said.
Led by senior Emily McGee with 13 kills and 11 digs, UNC capitalized on double-digit kills from four players to improve to 26-5 on the season and advance to Friday's second round match. Seven of Carolina's 11 players recorded blocks, with freshman Victoria McPherson grabbing four, and sophomore Ece Taner finished with 22 digs for UNC.
"The way our team was able to come out against a very good Cal team and play together with contributions from everyone was really impressive tonight," said McGee, who recorded her 15th double-double of the season. "Our biggest strength is the other team not knowing who is hitting the ball, and I think we were able to capitalize on that. Ece had a great game defensively, and I thought she was the MVP of the match."
North Carolina held off a California set-point to take the opening set 26-24. Sophomore Lauren Adkins' eight kills led UNC through set one, despite the Tar Heels tallying seven errors with a .234 attack to Cal's two errors and .394 hitting. McGee had three aces and three digs, junior Kayla Berringer added four kills, and senior Cora Harmsrecorded 12 assists for UNC.
Tied at 21, the Tar Heels again held strong through the finish to take set two 25-23. Berringer had five kills and a block, and McGee added four kills, four digs, a block and an ace to lead Carolina. UNC had strong defensive play in the second frame, tallying four team blocks, with Taner contributing six digs and freshman Leigh Andrew adding another four to limit the Bears' attack to .125. Freshman Jordyn Schnabl had eight assists, and Harms added another seven.
Cal took an early lead and continued to control play through the frame for a 25-18 win. McGee had four kills and two digs, but a .176 attack and six more errors didn't help the Tar Heels. Cal hit .333 behind five kills from Shannon Hawari and had four team blocks to stop UNC. Harms and Schnabl each had five assists, and Taner had five digs.
The Tar Heels bounced back for a strong final set, clinching the win with a dominant 25-16 score. Berringer, McPherson and McGee each had four kills as UNC hit a solid .353 attack. Taner had seven digs and Andrew had five. McGee, Andrew, McPherson and freshman Paige Neuenfeldt each had a block, and Harms and Schnabl combined for 14 assists.
North Carolina will now face the winner of Thursday's second match, IPFW or host Iowa State. UNC has played Iowa State once, losing to the Cyclones in 1987, but the Tar Heels have not faced IPFW yet.

Ask a Lawyer and Get Answers to Your Legal Questions
There are NO provisions regarding reimbursement..What the contract DOES SAY is:
Pursuant to the Seller's/Lessor's Right to Cancel provision ("Cancellation Provision") of the documents signed between you and our dealership, we are hereby electing to cancel the transaction.
It is requested that you comply with the Cancellation Provision and immediately return the vehicle to the dealership. When the vehicle is returned, we will refund the cash down payment and/or trade-in vehicle(s) given by you to us, subject to the terms of the Purchase Agreement/Buyers Order."
If they have a new deal i.e. wanting us to pay more down or pay more interest...we do NOT HAVE to sign it correct? Would we be entittled to our $1000 back? Because I have a conscience and a moral compass...I beleive they should keep half for use of the vehicle for a month.
Thank you in advance...

How to Get Safe & Effective Exercise in New Zealand
How to Get Safe & Effective Exercise in New Zealand
Not all exercise advice is created equal.
While there are changes to the science of the way we exercise and how our body can get the most effective workouts, any new theories or ideas need to be put through rigorous assessment and testing before they are deemed to be safe and effective.
Often the exercise advice that is out there has gained popularity through the less than rigorous sharing on social media. While this speeds up the spread of knowledge and new facts, it just as often leads to the spread of misinformation and part-truths.
There will always be new trends and ideas, especially in an industry so dynamic as exercise and health, but it is a case of buyer beware. Just because something has gained popularity doesn't mean it's safe or effective.
To help keep you safe on your way to health and fitness, here's some 'advice' you may want to ignore.
"Bladder leakage during a
high intensity workout (or any work out) is ok, in fact
it's a sign you are working hard
Bladder leakage during exercise is not a sign of a good workout; it is a sign of weak pelvic floor muscles. The right exercise will contribute to stopping this BUT high intensity resistance training with incorrect technique or loads that are too heavy will make the problem worse. This is not something you can exercise through, or fix by 'toughing it out'. The NZ Continence Organisation recommends that one size doesn't fit all when it comes to exercise. So if you have pelvic floor concerns, it's important to speak to a REPs (Register of Exercise Professionals) Registered Exercise Professional and tailor your exercise programme to suit your needs.
"This one simple and fast trick will get you 6
pack abs".
There are no simple and fast tricks to tone, tighten or reduce a specific muscle group. A well-balanced exercise and lifestyle programme however will get you the results you want, with the benefit of your whole body looking and feeling better.
2013 New Zealand Fitness Industry Awards Up and Coming Personal Trainer of the Year finalist Amelia Hoffman gives this advice - "Make sure your workout includes compound exercises not just isolated exercises. This way your heart rate is elevated and you are using multiple muscle groups to help burn fat".
"Lose weight without
Many fad diets promote fast fat loss without exercise by just sticking to their diet plan. Many of these diets are very restrictive and are difficult to stick too, often missing out important nutrients. While reducing energy intake drastically will reduce body fat in the long term, it does not address the health risks on sedentary lifestyles, or offer a long term health based approach to maintaining a healthy weight and improving wellbeing. Exercise assists in maintaining a healthy weight with the added bonus of reducing the risks of inactivity; an independent risk factor for a range of diseases such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and osteoporosis.
One of the best motivators for exercising regularly is access to up to date knowledge and new ideas that make the most of your workout and make it more fun and effective.
However, not all exercise advice is created equal. There is one simple way to make sure you are getting the right advice- work with a REPs Registered Exercise Professional.

Larry Bird Memorabilia
After a brilliant collegiate career at Indiana State, Larry Bird starred for the Boston Celtics for 13 years, winning three NBA championships and three Most Valuable Player (MVP) awards. Bird turned the fortunes of the once-dominant Celtics around, turning the then-lackluster team into a perennial championship contender. Bird remains "Larry Legend" in New England today.
Throughout his career, Bird enjoyed a fierce, but ultimately friendly, rivalry with Los Angeles Lakers star Magic Johnson. The clash between the two dated back to the 1979 NCAA championship game in which Johnson's Michigan State Spartans defeated Bird's Indiana State Sycamores for the title, and it continued in battle after battle in the NBA Finals.
When it comes to Bird memorabilia, anything with his signature is especially sought after. So are his jerseys, as well as photographs and other items showing him and Johnson together.

SAEED Ajmal has agreed to rejoin Worcestershire for this summer's Twenty20 competition, but director of cricket Steve Rhodes admits it is in the balance whether or not the Pakistani spin ace will be able to fulfil the commitment.
The off-spinner played a huge role in his country's recent Test series whitewash of England and it will be seen as a big coup that New Road officials have managed to tempt him back for a second spell with the County.
However, there is an in-creasing likelihood that Pakistan will tour Sri Lanka later this summer, which would coincide with the English Twenty20 competition and, consequently, sup-ercede Ajmal's agreement with Worcestershire. Rhodes said: "He may not get to us because of Pakistan's potential tour of Sri Lanka. If that was to happen, it would be sad, but international cricket comes first. That said, I am delighted Saeed has agreed to rejoin us. He is hot news at the moment and was man of the series for cleaning up England.
"He is a brilliant performer and there has been a lot of demand for him from other clubs. But he wanted to come back here and play for us because he enjoyed it last time and that says a lot about him as a man."
Ajmal, who took 16 wickets in last year's Twenty20 at an average of just over 11 with an economy rate of less than six-per-over, said: "I really enjoyed my time at New Road in 2011 and look forward to returning this summer to help inspire the club to Friends Life t20 success."
Should Ajmal's Worcester-shire return be scuppered, Rhodes admitted the congested international schedule could make it very difficult to recruit an overseas replacement.
"If it comes down to it, we will go into the Twenty20 with the players we've already got," Rhodes said.
Ajmal is currently ranked as the second best t20 bowler in the Reliance ICC world rankings.
In the recent England versus Pakistan Test Series, Ajmal took 24 wickets.
Meanwhile, Moeen Ali is in line for an England Lions call-up for the game against the full England team in Abu Dhabi tomorrow. The left-hander has been playing first-class cricket in Sri Lanka and signed off for his club with 157 in his final match. He could be called into the Lions side as injury cover for Somerset's Jos Buttler.
Moeen – along with county team-mate Alan Richardson – will also be in Middle East action after the duo were selected for the traditional pre-season curtain-raiser between the MCC and the reigning county champions Lancashire, which will take place in Abu Dhabi at the end of March.
Elsewhere, New Road skipper Daryl Mitchell, on his second stint in Zimbabwe with the Muntare-based Mountaineers, smashed 176 in their recent game, while fellow batsman James Cam-eron also scored a hundred playing for University, near Perth, in Australian grade cricket. Bowlers Richard Jones and Chris Russell have also been in form, with the former claiming 4-20 off 15 overs for the Matabele-land Tuskers in Zimbabwe. Russell grabbed 6-18 playing grade cricket in Cape Town.

The 'Loin's Grunge and Grime Now Historic
"...[T]he architectural richness is real, and it deserves celebration as a reminder of how complex a city can be."
"That complexity is one reason it took so long for the 33 blocks and 409 "contributing" buildings of the Uptown Tenderloin Historic District to finally be added last month to the National Register of Historic Places."
"...[T]he Tenderloin's zoning was tightened and height limits were lowered, so hotel towers no longer are a threat. Low-rent residential hotels are barred from conversion into tourist inns. The main real estate action these days is from nonprofit developers seeking to build safe housing on the underutilized sites that remain."
"Becoming one of San Francisco's 24 recognized historic districts doesn't change reality. Drug trade is persistent on some blocks. Social services targeted to the down-and-out also attract grifters looking for trouble."
"But the district absolutely deserves the honor."

Shining Force
Review by BlueInferno83
"Strategy + RPG = Shining Force"
Shining Force is a classic RPG for the Sega Genesis console. If you like Strategy games, then this game is a can't miss. This game contains great elements of strategy, but also contains an RPG feel that makes the game very unique. This is the first in what is now the epic Shining Force series.
This game was released in 1993. When it was released, the market was dominated by Phantasy Star and Final Fantasy turnbased gameplay. Climax had previously released Shining in the Darkness, where they tried to take a bold step by having the entire game in a first person, dungeon perspective. Unfortunately, the game did not do so well. They tried again with Shining Force: The Legacy of Great Intention.
Graphics: 8/10
For it's time, this game had some very killer graphics. The characters were all very well designed, and the up close battle scenes were absolutely great. I especially liked the deep colors and textures put into each and every scene.
Sound: 5/10
Don't get me wrong, this game had some nice music, but they overplayed it. I swear I was gonna take a baseball bat to my own head if I had to hear the cave music one more time. They really needed to expand on their music and mix it up a little.
Characters: 7/10
Not really special here. There was a large cast of characters, including the force, but there wasn't anything much in the way of personality. A lot of them were stiffs and like robots (Adam was a robot, hehe). The reason it got a 7 wasn't the personality, but because of the unique classes, such as a Steam Knight and Wing Knight. I don't know what a Steam Knight is supposed to be, or even what that suit was supposed to do, but Guntz was my favorite character, so I won't complain too much.
Difficulty: 6/10
Fairly simple. You really don't even need to strategize that much. There are a few difficult battles, but other than that, this game is pretty simple. Also, there is little to nothing to find in this game, so really it's straight forward and linear.
Battle System: 9/10
I really liked the strategy end of this game. The battles were fun, although some of them were time consuming. The battle system really makes this game special and creates the Shining Force feel, which would later be seen to influence other games.
Originality: 10/10
I know what you're thinking. If you play this game, you'll probably think it's not original at all. Well, try telling that to 1993. In 1993, turn based, random battles were the mainstream in role playing games. Shining Force was one of the first to have the hybrid of RPG with strategy, resulting in what has come to influence many games of today.
Story: 4/10
This is definitely the weakest area of the game. The story is very bland and clichéd. It follows the basic hero and evil doer scheme. If you're looking for a deep involved story, don't bother too much with this one.
If you're in the mood for a good strategy game, then Shining Force is the answer. Shining Force set the standard for strategy. It redefined its genre, and to this day, there has been no game quite like the games in this series. If you like Shining Force 1, then play Shining Force 2. Also, in June 2004, there will be a re-release of Shining Force 1 on Gameboy Advance called "Shining Force: The Resurrection of Dark Dragon." For those in Europe, the game is already out. I strongly encourage anyone to pick this game up and give it a try if you liked Shining Force 1. I can't really say much about it because I haven't played it, but I will be getting it the day it is released. I already plan to reserve a copy.
I would recommend Shining Force to just about anyone. It is easy, so if you're a beginner RPG player, then this game is an excellent start. Even veteran role-playing gamers should give this one a shot. If you're a fan of strategy, you won't regret it.

It may not be enough to effect a result, but Justin Langer's return to form for Western Australia in the Pura Cup against NSW yesterday has left five people in particular breathing more easily - the national selectors and Langer himself.
Langer came into this match hungry for runs after a worrying start to the season, in which he scored 26, 2 and 8 in two Tests against Zimbabwe, as well as 11 and a 50-ball 15 in the ING Cup.
The 67-Test opener failed again on the first day of this match against the Blues, making four in half an hour after winning the toss and batting. But yesterday he worked his way back into touch in the second innings, going to stumps just 19 runs short of becoming WA's most prolific Sheffield Shield/Pura Cup century-maker.
Langer looked shaky early on, especially when sorely tested in paceman Matthew Nicholson's first over, but after returning from tea on 14 off 42 balls, the diminutive left-hander emerged in a highly encouraging vein. He took 36 runs from his next 51 balls to raise a half century, and went to stumps on 81 not out, off 133 balls, his confidence bolstered by 10 fours and a six.
While a few more solid hits this morning will take him past Geoff Marsh's record of 21 interstate first-class hundreds for WA, Langer's three-hour effort is unlikely to prevent this match ending in a draw. After defending champions NSW took first-innings points through a 60-run lead built on Simon Katich's superb unbeaten 182, WA were 1-154 at the close, 94 ahead with a day to play.
NSW needed quick wickets to push for a win after being dismissed for 436 midway through day three, but Langer and Michael Hussey denied them with a 134-run opening partnership. It was largely a controlled and measured stand, on a pitch which is holding up well for the batsmen, but there were moments of aggression.
Langer was particularly eager to attack debutant leg spinner Liam Zammit, pulling him for four to raise his 50, and later hitting successive balls back past the bowler for four and six.
Blues captain Steve Waugh became increasingly desperate for wickets, ultimately using eight bowlers, even the rarely sighted Michael Slater.
In the end it was Waugh himself who made the breakthrough, albeit in less than canny fashion. Coming around the wicket to left-hander Hussey on 53, Waugh's unthreatening attempted bouncer was lustily pulled by the batsman, but only as far as Phil Jaques, who accepted the catch.
WA youngster Beau Casson complemented a commendable four-wicket haul with his left-arm wrist spin by staying with Langer as nightwatchman for the 25 minutes to stumps. NSW resumed yesterday on 5-273, needing 103 runs for first innings points. The chase was not as simple as it might have been.
Stand-in wicketkeeper Nathan Pilon, impressive in making 70 on Wednesday night, added only eight to his total before falling in the day's seventh over. Intending to pull paceman Callum Thorp, he instead edged a high catch to deep backward point, ending his valuable stand with Katich at 158.
Katich and Don Nash added 37 for the seventh wicket to get within 54 of the lead, but then a change to the Paddington end for Thorp paid off, with Nash edging to second slip on nine.
At 7-322, first innings points remained very much in dispute. The matter was decided, however, by an 84-run partnership inflicted on their former state by Katich and paceman Matthew Nicholson.
Nicholson, who left WA on unfriendly terms in the winter to return to the state of his birth, has worked hard on his batting in recent months and the results were on show yesterday. Soon after Katich passed 150 off 272 balls, Nicholson struck three sweetly timed fours in the morning's penultimate over from Peter Worthington to see his new side to first innings points.
Waugh resisted any temptation to declare and Nicholson pushed on from 28 to 42 after lunch before hitting a catch to the covers off Worthington. No.10 Stuart Clark came to the crease with Katich 32 runs short of a second Pura Cup double century, but deserted him on 179 by slamming a catch back to Casson.
Katich added only three more before Zammit was stumped without scoring to leave him stranded. Katich's momentous seven-hour innings - with 23 fours and a six - was reminiscent of that of his opposite number Murray Goodwin on the first two days, except for personal milestones, since Goodwin was left on 201 not out.

Recently a new ranking – you know I can't resist a ranking! – was release by the Ethisphere Institute, a US-based think tank that encourages good corporate practice, entitled "The World's Most Ethical Companies". And guess what? In all the 144 companies and 41 industries included, the only luxury companies on it were Shiseido and L'Oreal. Yup: no luxury clothing brands. No jewellers. Nada. Given how much lip service and is increasingly paid, and investment made, by luxury in the realm of ethics, this struck me as — well, striking. What, I wondered, was going on? Had we all been green-washed? Or was Ethisphere missing something? Read more

Every business begins with a story
Late last year, Localist chief executive Christina Domecq made an off-hand remark at a business lunch. She said every business begins with a story.
It seems obvious, but many businesses have real difficulty in working out what their story is and how to tell it.
It's a problem that has attracted some of the great communications minds, such as script-writer and tutor Robert McKee. Speaking to Harvard Business Review, McKee said it is a CEO's job to motivate people to reach certain goals.
"To do that, he or she must engage their emotions, and the key to their hearts is story," he said.
But in the business world the focus is on intellectual persuasion via what McKee calls "conventional rhetoric".
"It's an intellectual process, and in the business world it usually consists of a PowerPoint slide presentation in which you say, "Here is our company's biggest challenge, and here is what we need to do to prosper." And you build your case by giving statistics and facts and quotes from authorities."
But people have their own authorities, statistics, and experiences, he said, so while you're trying to persuade them, they are "arguing with you in their heads". Even if you succeed you've done so only on an intellectual basis.
"The other way to persuade people - and ultimately a much more powerful way -- is by uniting an idea with an emotion. The best way to do that is by telling a compelling story. In a story, you not only weave a lot of information into the telling but you also arouse your listener's emotions and energy."
To explore the challenges of business storytelling, Fairfax Media and GE Capital hosted a breakfast panel in Auckland with three executives who each in their own way are exponents of the story.
Philip Poole, marketing manager of chocolate company Whittaker's, said if a company builds a strong story you "turn spectators into supporters".
"Once you get supporters it's the brand they will always buy. Story is very important to differentiate yourself from other brands."
The vision for Whittaker's has been to "produce world-class chocolate from Porirua", he said. The story is about a family company creating chocolate from the "bean to the bar" with all processing done locally.
"We do that because we can control the quality," he said. Whittaker's, for instance, could import cocoa liquor, but if it did it couldn't control the quality.
"Chocolate is a small indulgence. People don't want to be disappointed."
Every day, owners Bryan and Andrew Whittaker are in the factory working on delivering quality.
"If you look at successful business and brands around the world they all have a great story behind them but it's not only a great story, it's one that relates to the consumer as well," Poole said.
For Greg McAlister, managing director of internet service provider Orcon, the issue was one of rediscovering the story - and Orcon's identity as a challenger in the broadband market.
The story of Orcon started with founder Seeby Woodhouse, he said. He wanted to build a great
internet company and differentiate it from the major providers. But after Orcon was bought by state-owned networking company Kordia, "the story lost its passion".
When McAlister joined Orcon early last year he realised the story should be the same as it once was. As with Whittaker's, it was about quality: "If want the best, that's where you come."
"We had to get the community of our own organisation believing we are the best again," he said.
"We are telling that story that if you are passionate about the internet you should be with Orcon.
That's the story we've got to tell internally and that's the story we've got to tell externally as well."
Once staff were reenergised and the customer conversation had improved, a marketing revamp followed with the launch of Orcon's "first world internet" campaign, fronted by avid gamer and controversial internet figure Kim Dotcom.
"We got risky and asked Kim Dotcom," McAlister said. "It was out there and certainly got a lot of cut through. It's working; our sales are up 70 per cent."
Nakedbus, though, was a start-up story.
"I founded Nakedbus just over seven years ago. The question I want to share is 'how does a bus company that doesn't own any buses go from zero passengers to 30 per cent of the market in seven years?", founder Hamish Nuttall said.
"It starts with the passion for public transport. I'm a public transport advocate. I'm an advocate for the user in the business."
In those seven years, the company has gone from carrying three passengers on its first day to half a million passengers a year.
"Right along the line we've tried to understand what our passengers want and deliver that to them.
It's a question of aligning ourselves with the customers, keeping it simple and keeping a really simple message.
"Many of you would know about the black buses and fares from one dollar and so on. We are the lowest price in the market and we will defend that to the hilt."
Nuttall agrees with Air New Zealand's message that "getting there is everything".
"People don't want to buy bus travel, they want to buy destinations and I guess that's what we are delivering to them," he said.
If passengers can get to their destinations more cheaply, they have more money to spend on the things they really want to do once they get there.
So how do you find your story?
For Orcon it was about "fixing the basics", especially around customer care, said McAlister. And again that grew out of getting the staff to really believe in what the company once again stood for.
"From there the external story grows," he said.
"The power of the brand came to life again by just fixing the basics and giving the staff confidence to get back into it and be a part of it."
That created internal conversations that, in turn, led to innovation and a rediscovery of things Orcon once did but had stopped doing, he said.
Whittaker's Poole said it is important to have ambitions that are relevant to consumers including, in the case of chocolate, the best ingredients.
The owners have knowledge of where to get the best beans (Ghana), almonds (California), and hazelnuts (Turkey) and when prices go up you don't compromise.
"That's the discipline then, when the price of hazelnuts goes through roof and accountants say reduce, you ask 'is that consonant with the vision of the company - and don't do it'.
Nuttall said asking why you are in business is important, but in his company's case, customers needed more.
"The 'why' is important but we have to explain the 'what' and the 'how' because people didn't believe us. It's about marginal revenue. We have to explain the mechanism.
"It's hard yards to do that, to focus solely online and know a third of the market potentially won't use you because they want to buy a ticket physically or want to phone.
"We said if you don't fit in our business model, we don't want you as customers, because you are actually going to make it too expensive for everybody to do business with us."
That approach even goes to
charging for calls to a 0900 number.
"It eliminates all the tyre kickers," Nuttall said.
"We see every customer interaction, count them and try and get it down. Every time they contact us they've failed to understand the product because we haven't explained it properly to them."
The name, Nakedbus, backs that up, suggesting the costs of travel are being stripped away, he said.
As with its inspiration, Virgin, whatever you think "it's a name you remember".
Transparency within the business is also important. Nuttall said Nakedbus's financials are open to everyone in business.
"Everyone knows how many passengers we carried yesterday, last year, the target, and what they need to do to get there."
For Orcon, it's also about being a "hero" in the market.
"The big brands act as rulers in the market. Our job really is to be the hero. To be a hero you have got to have an enemy," he said.
"That's the big guys who haven't got your interests at heart. Being the consumer champion is what we are about and how we position ourselves in the market."
One change since the early days of Orcon is prices have been cut. Where smaller player have traditionally been the price leaders, that has changed, leading Orcon to focus on people who really use the internet and not only want a great deal but fewer limits.
McAlister said a story is either authentic or it's not and you prove that through delivery.
"What we say we will do, we do. We are consistently innovative and being small it's easier to be agile. That rings true with customers and staff. It's easier to tell the story when it's real.
"Understanding it's a sustainable and real story is very important."
Even then things will still go wrong, he said. The job then is to fix it as quickly as possible.
Nuttall said while the term authenticity isn't used internally, Nakedbus's transparency also leads to accountability.
Team members regularly challenge him when he comes up with a more off-the-wall ideas, saying things like "that that's not consistent with our customer charter, that's not consistent with our brand".
For Whittaker's a similar authenticity test was posed by revelations that rival Cadbury was putting palm oil in its bars, a decision since rescinded.
Whittaker's was a huge beneficiary of that, with sales increasing 35 per cent over night, Poole said.
"We wouldn't have done that because for us it's not consistent with world-class chocolate," Poole said. "It's important people in the company understand that because that's what drives your strategy though manufacturing and marketing as well."
Poole said Whittaker's does not have an ambition to be number one.
"What we do have the ambition to be is the best. If that leads us to be number one that's good."
For Orcon, being number one is about being first to market.
"That's a strong feature of Orcon brand, being first and innovative. We can do that because we are a smaller company." Internally the talk is about staying agile no matter how big the company gets.
For Nakedbus, though, being number one is important because the more people get on its buses the cheaper it gets. Being agile is vital too.
"The day we say what we did yesterday is good enough is day I'll hang up my boots," Nuttall said.
Next week: Building customer communities.

IMEC tapes out Etna 3-D stacking chip
Post a comment
LONDON The IMEC research center (Leuven, Belgium) and its 3-D integration partners have taped-out Etna, a 3-D chip that integrates a standard DRAM chip on top of a logic IC. The 3-D stack consists of a 25-micron thick logic die on top of which a commercial DRAM is stacked using through-silicon vias (TSVs) and micro-bumps.
Partners in IMEC's 3-D integration include Amkor, Infineon, Intel, Micron, NEC, NXP, Panasonic, Qualcomm, Samsung, STMicroelectronics, Texas Instruments and TSMC.
The 3-D demonstrator includes heaters to test the impact of hotspot on DRAM refresh times. And, the chip contains test structures for monitoring thermo-mechanical stress, electro-static discharge hazards, electrical characteristics of TSVs and micro-bumps and fault models for TSVs.
One of IMEC's 3-D integration partners will deliver the DRAM dies presumably Micron and will test the fabricated 3-D stack; two other partners, will package the 3-D stack using flip-chip onto a FBGA (fine-pitch ball-grid array) substrate.
"We are excited to achieve this milestone in collaboration with our 3D integration partners including memory suppliers and IC manufacturers. This test-chip is a significant step for the introduction of 3D technology in DRAM-on-logic applications;" said Pol Marchal, principal scientist 3-D integration at IMEC.
IMEC has a so-called Pathfinder project with Qualcomm, AutoESL, Javelin Design Automotion on design for 3-D integration.

Biography:Stephen J. Herman is a partner of Herman, Herman, Katz & Cotlar, LLP, as well as the national firm of Herman Gerel, LLP, with central offices in Atlanta, GA. After receiving a BA from Dartmouth College, Mr. Herman attended Tulane Law School, where he was admitted to the Order of the Coif, and graduated magna cum laude in 1994. He then spent a year clerking for Justice Harry T. Lemmon of the Louisiana Supreme Court.
Developing a broad civil practice, Mr. Herman has handled everything from highway defect and products liability cases, to fire and flood loss cases, to attorney fee disputes and employment cases, to special appellate work before the Louisiana Supreme Court and other courts of appeal. In addition to the favorable resolution of two significant workplace explosion cases, Mr. Herman has dedicated a significant part of his practice to Tobacco Litigation and ERISA cases on behalf of physicians, consumers, unions and the sponsors of welfare benefit plans against the managed care and PBM industries. He is currently focusing on commercial, class action, insurance coverage and professional liability cases, representing both plaintiffs and defendants.
In 2008, Mr. Herman was selected to serve as a Hearing Officer for the Louisiana Attorney Disciplinary Board. He also serves on the Board of Directors for Southeast Louisiana Legal Services.
Mr. Herman is the author of America and the Law: Challenges for the 21st Century, first published by Austin & Winfield in 1998 and now available from Gravier House Press. He served as the President of the Civil Justice Foundation, a national non-profit organization dedicated to the support of grassroots organizations dedicated to consumer injury prevention, public safety protection, and constitutional right-to-trial for all Americans. In 2001, he was presented with a special CJF President's Award. That same year, he received the Wiedemann- Wysocki Award from the American Association for Justice. Beginning in 2007 he has been named a Louisiana "Super Lawyer" in class actions and mass tort cases, and was a Finalist for TLPJ Trial Lawyer of the Year in 2005.
An adjunct faculty member teaching complex litigation at Tulane Law School and class actions at the Loyola School of Law, Mr. Herman has given numerous speeches across the country on ethics and professionalism, consumer fraud, tobacco litigation, HMO and managed care litigation, electronic discovery, personal injury law, preemption, spoliation, privilege, subrogation, trial preparation, deposition strategy, motion practice, class actions and complex litigation.

unidecode library is good enough for transliteration other than asian languages.
But there are so many asian people living and many Japanese and Korean are current user of sites using Drupal.
It will be better to support complex languages such as Japanese and Korean in transliterate module.
Now I'd like to propose you or someone who is interested in to implement unihandecode functionality in transliterate module.
Unihandecode (https://launchpad.net/unihandecode) is a project and a running code that is forked from unidecode to support Japanese, Korean and other languages in Python in addition to original unidecode functionality.
Comment #1Kars-T CreditAttribution: Kars-T commented
Today we ran transliteration on some Japanese and to see the Chinese transliteration was interesting.
Maybe there should be a switch or something so we can set kanji to other transliterations.
So how was it Kars-T? I haven't bothered to try this on Japanese since it already says on the front page how badly it works. Wouldn't Chinese work more easily?
Anyway (+1) I would be one of the very grateful to have proper transliteration for Japanese, Korean & Chinese.

Tumblr has recently started accepting mobile ads and 25% of its visitors now come from the Tumblr mobile app.
"Tumblr is redefining creative expression online. On many levels, Tumblr and Yahoo couldn't be more different, but, at the same time, they couldn't be more complementary. Yahoo is the Internet's original media network. Tumblr is the Internet's fastest-growing media frenzy. Both companies are homes for brands - established and emerging. And, fundamentally, Tumblr and Yahoo are both all about users, design, and finding surprise and inspiration amidst the everyday."-Marissa Mayer, CEO, Yahoo

This is always a great time of year at Living with Balls. The Super Bowl is around the corner, which is usually exciting in its own right. But because I create my annual Super Bowl drinking game, I see a huge spike in visits. My pageviews nearly double because of it. Apparently, there are plenty of degenerates in this country looking to get obliterated during the Super Bowl.
I'm not a big drinker these days but I plan on getting blitzed on Super Bowl Sunday. As a Jets fan, I couldn't imagine a worse Super Bowl than Patriots vs. Giants. Sure it was great in 2008, when the Giants took down the undefeated Pats. I was right there, rooting for Big Blue. But now I'm just tired of it. I have obnoxious Giants fans gloating to me in one ear and even more obnoxious Patriots fans gloating in the other. I hope to get good and drunk and forget the result of the game.
But enough about me. You came here to find a Super Bowl drinking game. Well, you came to the right place. As always, I must warn you with this disclaimer:
This drinking game is not for the casual drinker. Proceed with caution. Living with Balls is not responsible if you get violently ill from playing this game. Feel free to adjust the rules to your tolerance or just quit playing when you're good and drunk.
I have set up a game for both beer and shots. You're welcome to do one or the other, or play both if you're feeling daring.

Corn Estimated Fund Position
Short Term:Down Net Long Futures and Options: 38103
Long Term: Down Change: +5000
Overnight Trade: H Unch @7:30 AM
The corn was quiet overnight despite strong gains in the soybeans. The fact that the March corn finally broke the string of lower closes on Friday is encouraging, and a good indication that we are due for a short covering bounce. The $7.14 - $7.16 area is a likely upside target for the March corn, but to expect a move above that we will probably have to see some bullish corn specific new, or a great deal of strength in the soybeans.
Wheat Estimated Fund Position
Short Term: Down Net Long Futures and Options: -65078
Long Term: Down Change: +3000
Overnight Trade: Chicago: H -1 KC: H Unch @7:30 AM
The March KW has been consolidating for several sessions just above $7.70. There is a moisture event scheduled for part of the HRW Belt this week, which may made it hard to rally this market. On the other hand, there is talk about big export sales going to several locations and confirmation of that business would be a big help to the market. It wouldn't take much short covering to get the market back above $8.00, but we will have to see that export business.
Soybeans Estimated Fund Position
Short Term: Down Net Long Futures and Options: 99075
Long Term: Down Change: +3000
Overnight Trade: H +20 @7:30 AM
The March soybeans gapped over the 40-day moving average overnight, traded through the 50-day moving average and reached the 50% retracement of the last move down. Talk of Chinese and European demand is very supportive and if these gains can hold today it will make the chart picture look very friendly as well. A close above $14.38 would indicate the next upside objective is $14.62.
Live Cattle
Short Term: Down
Long Term: Down
Opening Calls: Mixed
Live cattle futures closed moderately higher on Friday, with April actually posting modest weekly gains, after a rough start to the week and weaker cash. Early show list returns show modestly higher numbers offered for the week. Open interest remains on the rise, with Friday gaining another 975 contracts on the rally. The market needs to see some cash improvement this week. A winter storm entering the plains on Wednesday is expected to slow weight gains over the next couple of weeks. It would appear that Nebraska and northern tiers of Kansas could catch the brunt of the accumulation.
Feeder Cattle
Short Term: Down
Long Term: Down
Opening Call: Mixed
Feeder cattle futures closed moderately higher on Friday, leaving March with weekly losses of about a 1.60. Corn values were off 11 cents for the week and are trading narrowly mixed in overnight trade. Livestock futures will reopen at 9:05 this morning, following the 3 day weekend. We saw a slight rebound at Monday's sale in Oklahoma City, suggesting that the strong slide in cash prices may be subsiding. We continue to favor hedge strategies in the feeders, until more promising trade in the fat market develops.

So decided to post directions so that all STANCE in the public is welcomed to join. Parking space is limited so leave the ANTI-STANCE at home… Strictly STANCE! ie You car must be slammed with a some sweet wheels!


text: But not far still staying with the brand, I got such an amazing deal on this three month old roadster. Believe it or not from Audi Tetbury I got 2.78% APR which made it a whole lot cheaper a month than my S3 with two years free servicing, I just could not say no. And what a car I love it, some may say a hairdresser motor but with the 19s on it and black edition I think it looks pretty mean with a great stance. Hope you all like, hard to move from Audi once you have had one, and still a Quattro so bring on the snow!!

Barf Manifesto
Published by Ugly Duckling Presse
Asked to write an essay on alternative forms of memoir for the 2007 Modern Language Association conference, Bellamy wrote an admiring analysis of 'Everyday Barf', the essay that concludes Eileen Myles's recent poetry collection Sorry Tree. Bellamy's talk, 'MLA Barf', became a rousing defense of the 'barf' as a literary form. Here 'MLA Barf' is joined by its sequel, 'CCA Barf', delivered as a lecture at the California College of the Arts some months later.
Together the two talks celebrate Eileen Myles—especially her genius for bringing the body into writing—as well as the conceptual practices of two British visual artists, Tariq Alvi and Bridget Riley. In addition, Barf Manifesto, like The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas, is an intimate account of a long, sometimes tortured, but enduring friendship between two female writers.
In the words of critic Ramsey Scott, "Bellamy asks us: how can sloppiness become an intellectual stance, a methodology with its own aesthetic and political priorities? How might a permeable editorial screen that allows for error, parataxis, and the non sequitur serve as the basis for a hybrid kind of writing that is at once critical and autobiographical, factual and fictional? What does it mean to insist upon the disorderly as a means of cultural critique and political engagement?"
from Barf Manifesto:
Passion in writing or art—or in a lover—can make you overlook a lot of flaws. Passion is underrated. I think we should all produce work with the urgency of outsider artists, panting and jerking off to our kinky private obsessions. Sophistication is conformist, deadening. Let's get rid of it.
"Her verbal upchuck could have become a mess, but the shifts are so exquisitely structured that they rarely fail to marvel. When one steps back from Bellamy's narrative, her discrete thoughts somehow contrast and interact like the dots on a Seurat canvas, forming a vivid portrait of art and friendship. You'll wonder how she did it. Barf has never looked so good."
Time Out NY
Dodie Bellamy has written a novel, The Letters of Mina Harker (2004); a collection of fiction, memoirs, and essays, Pink Steam (2004); an epistolary collaboration on AIDS with the late Sam D'Allesandro, Real (1994); and a cross-genre collection of pedagogical essays and fictions, Academonia (2006). She lives in San Francisco.

A nursery founded six months ago has been praised after its first inspection.
Former civil servant Charanjit Chaggar set up The Early Learners Centre pre-school in a community hall at the back of the Trinity United Reform Church (URC) in Orford Road, Walthamstow, in October.
He decided to go it alone after working as an early years consultant with Waltham Forest Council for near on a decade.
The centre, which houses 70 children aged two to five, was visited by Ofsted inspector Claire Meyer on May 2.
She rated assessments of children's learning as good, the care and well-being of children as outstanding and praised the skill set of staff and effectiveness of leadership.
Mr Chaggar employs ten staff to look after the children during the morning, lunch-time and afternoon sessions.
He said: "The hall is a drop-in-centre so when it is not being used during schooling hours as a pre-school, the church uses it for a variety of events and activities."
"I am really pleased with the report and would like to thank the church, my hard-working staff, the parents support and the local authority."
The pre-school was not judged as outstanding as it did not get older children involved in shaping their education enough.

Oscar nominee Anne Archer steps into the shoes of a Hollywood star in the play "The Trial of Jane Fonda", a drama about the American actress and her anti-Vietnam War campaigning.
The play, written by Archer's husband Terry Jastrow, traces Fonda's 1988 meeting with U.S. war veterans, who had staged demonstrations to halt the production of a film she was working on because of her past campaigns against the Vietnam War.
While the content of the meeting was never divulged according to the play synopsis, Jastrow spoke with Fonda and dozens of veterans in research for the drama, which debuted at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2014 and now has additional scenes and a new director for its July 13-Aug. 20 run in London.
"I think it's a story of war and peace, of why do we fight these unnecessary wars, why do we get involved, what are the losses there," Archer told Reuters. "I think we can all relate to this story around the world and I think it's a story that must be told."

Sydney, July 3 (ANI): The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has rejected an appeal by former Pakistan leg-spinner Danish Kaneria against a lifetime ban from cricket on Tuesday at a hearing in London.
Kaneria was given a life ban by the ECB last year after a panel found him guilty of inducing his then Essex teammate Mervyn Westfield to deliberately under-perform by agreeing to concede a certain number of runs in return for money in a county match in 2009, the Sydney Morning Herald reports.
According to an ECB statement, the panel of the ECB's cricket discipline commission upheld the life ban imposed on Kaneria by a disciplinary panel in June 2012 given that it had found that he had been guilty of two charges under the ECB's regulations.
However, the statement added that it however, chose to 'vary' the sanction imposed on Westfield by saying that he could return to club cricket on April 1 next year if he takes part in a 'stringent' anti-corruption programme.
According to the report, although imposed by the ECB, Kaneria's ban was effectively a worldwide sanction as all boards under the jurisdiction of the International Cricket Council (ICC) have agreed to uphold punishments imposed by individual member countries in such circumstances.
Kaneria, who has repeatedly protested his innocence, has now seen two appeals against ECB charges fail after a CDC panel dismissed his case in April, the report added. (ANI)

Former St. Louis chief's mother accused of fraud
Updated 10:33 am, Saturday, August 12, 2017
ST. LOUIS (AP) — The mother of a former St. Louis police chief is accused in a federal indictment of embezzling millions of dollars from a Missouri real estate company.
A grand jury has indicted Carol Dotson with one count of wire fraud that alleges she bilked an Olivette real estate business between July 2003 and February of this year while she worked there since 1990.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports she's also accused of writing checks to herself totaling $20,000, embezzling $2 million and falsifying financial reports.
Dotson's son, former St. Louis police chief Sam Dotson, says he's been estranged from his mother for years, and that he's sad and mad about the allegations.
Online court records don't show whether Carol Dotson has an attorney.

Israel arrested three suspected Palestinian militants who allegedly planned an attack against the US embassy in Tel Aviv, as well as against a Jerusalem conference building and an intercity bus, the Shin Bet internal security service said Wednesday, dpa reported.
Two of the suspects are from East Jerusalem and one is from the area of Jenin on the northern West Bank, the Shin Bet said in a statement.
The Shin Bet said an al-Qaeda activist in Gaza, named as Ariv al-Sham, recruited the three men separately to form three independent militant cells. It believes al-Sham received his orders directly from Egyptian al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri.
Al-Sham communicated with the three via Skype and Facebook.
The US State Department has been in contact with Israeli authorities about the threats and is closely following the situation, spokeswoman Marie Harf said in Washington.
The US is working to independently corroborate the reports, she added. She could not provide specifics about the threat.
One of the East Jerusalem suspects, named as Khalil Abu Sara, 23, allegedly prepared for attacks, among others, against the US embassy in Tel Aviv and against a bus from Jerusalem to the nearby Jewish settlement of Maaleh Adumim.
He allegedly observed the highly secured embassy building on the Mediterranean City's coastal promenade.
As for the bus attack, the plan called for an attacker to shoot at its tires, then at passengers as soon as it stopped, and subsequently at Israeli security and rescuers as soon as they arrived at the scene, said the Shin Bet statement.
Abu Sara agreed to recruit foreigners to carry out the attacks. There were to come to Israel using fake Russian passports pretending to be tourists, alleged the statement.
Abu Sara would receive them, prepare bomb belts and transport the attackers to their destinations, it added.
The second East Jerusalem suspect allegedly admitted in his interrogation to planning the abduction of a soldier, while the third suspected agreed to form a Jihadist Salafi cell in the northern West Bank.

Shadya Lan filed a lawsuit against Cynthia Wang for plagiarizing a song she wrote back in her high school days. In Wang's 2009 album, "Copenhagen's Fairy Tale", the prosecuting attorney found that its second plug, "What Happened To Love After All" (到底愛怎麼了), had a very similar melody to Lan's "Sleeping Beauty" (睡美人). After an analysis conducted by Fu Jen University's music department, it was found that more than 90% of the songs' melodies were similar. Thus, the Shi-Lin District Prosecutor's Office is seeking to charge Wang 6 months of imprisonment for infringing Lan's copyrighted work.
The prosecuting attorney pointed out that Lan and Wang (24 years old) were upper and lower classmen at Hwa Kang Arts School. Lan was the one who discovered that Wang's "What Happened To Love After All" had plagiarized her 2001 composition "Sleeping Beauty". She stated that when she wrote the song back then, she had brought it to Wang's home and discussed it over with her; Lan also performed the song at school before.
Wang responded through her manager, "(I) did not plagiarize and have not heard of the song before. (I) will calmly face justice."
According to Chinatimes, Lan and Wang had attempted to negotiate a settlement. Lan had asked for a million TWD but an agreement could not be reached.
In related news, fans also caught eerie similarities between Freya Lin's "Five Days Few Years" and Vertigo's "Holy". Lin's record company's defense is that "Five Days Few Years was already composed in 2003, whereas Holy was released in 2006." However, fans responded in disbelief, "That's so far fetched!"

Choreographed by ITV's Dancing on Ice head judge Robin Cousins, I knew this was going to be special.
It turns out the TV cannot come close to the thrill of actually hearing the slice of the skates and seeing slivers of ice shoot into the air.
I was hypnotised by the grace and skill of the skaters as they motionlessly soared along at speed, and found myself open-mouthed a lot of the time as one incredible, awe-inspiring move followed another.
The collective gasps around me told me I was not the only one to be awestruck as the performers used every level from sit-spins to being suspended from a hanging hoop by only an ankle.
At times Brandee Malto's head was so close to the ice as she was swung round by the ankles that I feared for her life.
Vaughn Chipeur even injected humour into the act, but this was certainly not to cover up any shortage of technical prowess – he fitted in back somersaults and at times span so fast he became a blur.
The diverse soundtrack was at times stirringly beautiful and emotional, and the second half brought a change of tempo with a variety of jazzy numbers allowing the skaters to be more playful.
The everchanging lighting effects and outfits as well as a mix of solos, duets and group numbers all helped to keep you enthralled for an hour-and-a-half and I did not want it to end.
A fleeting fall from perfection saw a bum hit the ice for a millisecond, but was recovered from so professionally, with the smile never faltering, it left you wondering whether it was all just part of the magnificent act.
As this is the final week of the tour, Robin Cousins himself made a surprise appearance at the end. Don't miss the last chance to marvel.
Robin Cousins' Ice is at Bristol Hippodrome on Friday at 7.30pm and Saturday at 11.30am, 2.30pm and 7.30pm. Tickets £11.90 to £37.90.
