Travel Throughout the Program
Airfares to Europe can vary greatly depending on several variables. Students are encouraged to make their plans early to take advantage of advance purchase options. This applies to purchasing seats on the high speed trains in Europe as well. Generally students not yet 26 years of age qualify for travel discounts in Europe.
Participants should consult a good travel agent and/or reputable websites that sell discounted airfares or auction airfares. Among others, STA Travel offers attractively discounted airfares to students. Inquire at www.statravel.com. Remember that you will be starting in London and departing from Brussels.
Travel within Europe and within the cities visited will be by train, bus, metro, and other public transportation. For the purposes of the program, there will be four train trips on different dates: London- Paris (Eurostar), Paris-Brussels, Brussels-Luxembourg, and Luxembourg-Brussels. A Eurail pass is not recommended or required. There are discounts when two or more people purchase a ticket and travel together and for people not yet 26 years of age. Please explore your options through travel websites including tgv.com, eurostar.com, thalys.com, raileurope.com, railpass.com. European students may consider purchasing an Interrail pass. For more information, visit www.interrail.net. Please note that students under 26 years old can purchase discounted individual or group train fares in Europe. Some students may prefer an intercity bus trips. They take twice as long but can be significantly cheaper. The program director will let everyone know what train reservations he has made in case students wish to take the same train.
Should students prefer to not travel with the group between program cities, they may travel on their own as long as they arrive in time for the next class. If planning to use discount airlines, take into account travel time and cost to and from the airport, security checks, baggage weight limitations, and all fees.
All the trains to be used for the program require a seat reservation. It is the student's responsibility to have both a train ticket and a seat reservation. Students with a Eurail pass still need to reserve a seat. Reservations can be made online, through a travel agent, or in person as soon as you arrive in London, Paris, or Brussels.
It is strongly suggested that train tickets and reservations be made early in order to find seats available and to qualify for lower fares. Think of it as an airline ticket; normally it is better to buy it well in advance.Students with disabilities: Every effort will be made to accommodate students with special needs or disabilities. However, generally, in Europe facilities are not always equipped for disabled people as they are normally in the USA. Students with special needs must contact the Office of Student Affairs at WCL, email@example.com, (202) 274-4052.

Offsourcing or Offshoring
Offsourcing or Offshoring refers to outsourcing both goods and services i.e. materials and manpower to another country i.e. offshored. Offsourcing or Offshoring is a relatively new term as compared to outsourcing, which may be domestic or international. Thus Outsourcing is a larger field encompassing the sub-field of Offsourcing or Offshoring.
Offsourcing may involve Offshoring just the non-core processes or tasks to a service provider in another country, say India, or also Offshoring certain jobs or both. Offsourcing may also involve transfer of certain employees to the payroll of the service provider. This not only saves time and costs but also enables better communication and coordination between the client and the service provider.
Certain Benefits of Offsourced Jobs include:
Among the various Offsourcing segments IT Offshoring comprises 28%, followed by HR Offsourcing at 16%, Sales and Marketing (15%), Finance (11%) and Administrative (9%) while other types comprise the rest. No wonder then 40% of the Fortune-500 companies including Microsoft, GE, Motorola and many more, have already leveraged the Offsourcing model to their benefit.
Is Offsourcing or Offshoring here to stay?
Well the facts..or rather the companies speak for themselves. US IT major Accenture announced in 2006 that it would be doubling its employee headcount in India to 10,000 taking advantage of the lower wages prevalent among the Indian software engineers, and with the same skill level as found in the US. IT offshore sourcing came in two ways. The first was related to Hardware outsourcing whereby IT product manufactures started Offsourcing component manufacturing like chips, batteries to other countries like China and in the second wave Software offsourcing followed, which included software support, application development, testing et al
According to a study Offsourcing or offshoring can result in average 50% savings on employee salaries with overall savings up to 30% when jobs are offsourced to countries like India, Philippines, Malaysia, China etc. These are considerable savings especially in recessionary times when companies all over are looking to cut back on costs and boost their bottomlines. Thus offsourcing will continue to be focal to the plans of many enterprises for a long time to come.

It may be a contentious point in certain circles, but 1993's Super Mario Bros. is, by-and-large, the first live-action movie based on a video game, certainly the first with any real gumption. The film scrubs up nicely on its first UK Blu-ray release courtesy of Second Sight, letting old fans reminisce and bringing new ones into the fold.
It's important to note that Super Mario Bros. always had cinematic intentions in mind, rather than just attaching itself to a famous franchise for monetary gains (it did flop, after all). This was years before the mould was set and Tomb Raider and Resident Evil movies were clogging up the box office.
For anyone familiar with any of the Mario titles, the story won't come as much of a shock: save a princess from Bowser. What the movie does is theorise that the meteor that wiped out the dinosaurs sent them to an alternate version of the earth instead where they evolved into humans, bypassing the monkey route altogether.
The late Bob Hoskins brings a brilliant physicality to the lead role, fitting snugly into everyone's favourite mushroom stomper, though he goes for a guttural drawl rather than imitating Charles Martinet. John Leguizamo might have seemed an odd choice for Luigi on paper, and despite the severe lack of moustache, he's actually a dead ringer. Fisher Stevens and Richard Edson, like Laurel and Hardy, wonderfully bumble their way through the Koopa cousins Iggy and Spike, respectively. Dennis Hopper is charismatic as King Koopa, Bowser, putting a camp spin on his performance in Blue Velvet. Samantha Mathis makes for a decent Princess Daisy, but the less said about Mojo Nixon as Toad, the better.
One of the biggest surprises isn't the film's longevity or its (mostly) stellar cast, but just how well shot it is, with directors Annabel Jankel and Rocky Morton channelling Dune and putting a Terry Gilliam spin on the parallel universe, with characters decked out in Mad Max-style fetish gear. The soundtrack isn't half bad either, with a Roxy Music cover, Megadeth, and Queen in tow.
Going for a more grounded slant than the magic realism that made the games so special, the Goombas have been made from devolved members of the parallel universe, and there's mechanical boots that allow the wearer to jump to extraordinary heights and distances. There's so many nods and winks, it's dizzying, including Bullet Bills and Bob-ombs. The effects, especially the reptilian prosthetics, are especially good, even twenty one years later, with Yoshi living up to kawaii origins.
Despite its critical and financial failings, Super Mario Bros. is the very definition of a cult classic, proving to be a fun romp through a beloved game franchise mustering smiles on faces despite, or perhaps because of, the more realistic spin on the source material.

A GLASGOW councillor is facing calls to quit after he flew the Israeli flag from the City Chambers.
Almost 2000 people have signed a petition urging David Meikle to resign over what they called a "shameful" stunt.
Mr Meikle, councillor for Pollokshields, waved the Israeli flag as civic leaders raised the Palestinian flag over the council HQ on Friday. The city said it was to show solidarity with those affected by the conflict in Gaza.
Jewish communities reacted angrily to the raising of the Palestinian flag and said it would only stir up tensions and cause "offence and division".
Mr Meikle accused council leaders of failing to condemn the actions of Hamas, the Islamic terrorist group that rules Gaza.
However, hundreds of people criticised his decision to wave the Israeli flag and the petition has already attracted more than 1700 signatures.
It reads: "He has shown no regard to the views and feelings of his constituents.
"He is entitled to his beliefs and opinions. But because of his unprofessional conduct, the place and the timing of his expression leads us to believe he can no longer represent us and should therefore resign immediately."
Meanwhile, a second online petition, organised by campaigner Donald Lawrie and which has been signed by more than 600 people, is calling for the council to pledge not to fly the Palestinian flag from the Chambers again.

About TACSEI
Skip to: TACSEI's Outreach Target Audience Key Beliefs Goals Website Information
On January 1, 2008, the Center for Evidence-Based Practice: Young Children with Challenging Behavior (CEBP) became the Technical Assistance Center on Social Emotional Intervention for Young Children, or TACSEI. TACSEI continues and expands of the work of CEBP by moving the extensive research CEBP conducted and synthesized on effective practices into actual, everyday practice. The result is that decision makers, caregivers and service providers have an enhanced awareness of, understanding of, and ability to use evidence-based practices to improve the social-emotional outcomes for young children with, or at risk for, delays or disabilities. TACSEI is a five-year grant (#H326B070002) made possible by the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special Education Programs.
The conceptual model TACSEI uses to deliver this important information is the widely endorsed Pyramid Model framework for promoting social-emotional competence and addressing challenging behavior.
- Watch an overview of TACSEI to learn more about who we are and what we do.
- Looking for a handout that describes TACSEI? Download our print-friendly fact sheet.
TACSEI's Outreach
TACSEI's spread of effect far exceeds the states that TACSEI works with intensively.
- Light Yellow-States where more than 100 individuals are accessing TACSEI resources through E-Updates, are visiting the TACSEI website to download resources, or have enrolled in a TACSEI webinar.
- Dark Yellow-in addition to the activities occurring in light yellow states, dark yellow indicates states where individuals have participated in trainings delivered by TACSEI faculty, either through conferences or workshops.
- Blue-in addition to the activities occurring in light yellow and dark yellow states, blue identifies a state as a TACSEI Partner State.
- Blue Star-indicate locations of teams TACSEI has supported through the first two year's demonstration or Academy teams.
Target Audience
TACSEI's target audience is parents, providers, administrators, policy makers and Part C and 619 Coordinators.
Key Beliefs
TACSEI has six key beliefs that guide the work of the Center:
- TA efforts must be deliverable and effective for diverse populations
- TA outcomes must be valued by families as well as the broader community
- Practices endorsed must be affordable, feasible, and acceptable to diverse stakeholders
- Families and program personnel are vital partners in the design, implementation, and evaluation of the work of the Center
- Practices must be based on best available evidence and must be replicated across sites and states
- Practices must be designed primarily to enhance competencies, rather than remediate problems
During the five years of the project, TACSEI will:
- Leverage resources by conducting close, collaborative T/TA with relevant national centers
- Maintain and expand existing partnerships with national organizations to ensure "common messages" across agencies, funding streams, and disciplines.
- Conduct and widely disseminate research syntheses in a form and manner that benefits practices and addresses questions often posed by providers, families and policy makers.
- Develop, train and coordinate a cadre of trainers and coaches that are competent to deliver training and support on evidence-based practices and the Pyramid Model of Prevention and Intervention.
- Provide broad-based, technology-meditated TA to all states, with a particular emphasis on selecting intervention goals and efficacious interventions to meet states' performance indicators specific to behavior and social/emotional development.
- Develop and test variations of the Pyramid Model across service systems and age groups, and then scale-up those effective models across states.
- Maintain ongoing communication with family consumers and ensure their input into all Center products and practices.
- Coordinate our efforts with other federally funded TA Centers to maximize effects.
- Establish ongoing evaluation systems for all major Center functions and make course corrections as needed.
- Maintain a website that offers up-to-date information for multiple consumers: parents, providers, administrators, policy makers, and provides web-based TA and training opportunities.

With the advent of internet and growing network technologies, the security threats are also growing day by day. In this era of technological advancements, people started entering other websites in order to tamper important and sensitive information. This process of sneaking other's information is termed as 'hacking', which needs to be avoided to protect your data from any unauthorized access. So, who is going to take care of all such malicious attacks? Here comes the role of an ethical hacker whose work is to prevent such malicious hacking crimes.
To beat a hacker, you need to think like one. An individual who does certification in Ethical Hacker Training will exactly do that. A certified Ethical Hacker is a skilled professional who understands how to track down vulnerabilities and loopholes in the target systems and emulates the techniques and tools of a malicious hacker, but in a legitimate and authorized way to evaluate the security stance of the target system.
Why certification?
Certification Ethical Hacker Training is the most advanced course that teaches you tricks and tactics that hackers used to penetrate networks and strategies for avoiding such intrusions. CEH training will help you master an ethical hacking methodology that can be used in an ethical hacking situation or penetration testing. CEH Certification Training provides you an information security curriculum on par with international standards and comes with certification that helps to kick start your career as an information security expert.
Who should attend?
Certified ethical hacker training will reap significant benefits for security officers, site administrators, auditors and other professionals who are responsible for maintaining the integrity of the networks in the enterprises.
Why CEH training?
Certification in ethical hacker training helps you to detect the flaws in the network and teaches you how to make the penetration system more intricate and implement tactics to reduce illegal hacking in the systems.
CEH training teaches you how to emulate the techniques and tactics of a malicious hacker and check for the flaws in the network. Besides this, through CEH training you will be able to exploit those vulnerabilities to check the network strength and suggest essential measures to prevent such malicious attacks.
Seek CEH training from Jagsar and walk out with excellent hacking skills along with globally recognized certified ethical hacker certification and IT Professional Certifications .

Hamid Karzai took a stand against foreign air strikes in Afghanistan Saturday, saying he would issue a decree banning Afghan army requests for NATO to help target residential neighborhoods.
Speaking at a conference at Kabul's National Military Academy, Karzai was responding to a NATO strike Wednesday on a residential area in eastern Kunar province which left 10 people dead, including several women and children, according to Reuters.
"I will issue a decree tomorrow that no Afghan security forces, in any circumstances, can ask for the foreigners' planes for carrying out operations on our homes and villages," the President said, the Associated Press reported.
If issued, the decree would signal the first time Afghanistan's security forces were prohibited from relying on NATO, upping the pressure for them to become fully autonomous as international forces continue to pull out of the region by 2014.
Afghan forces already lead around 90 percent of operations, according to BBC News, and Karzai has said he looks forward to the army taking over from NATO.
"We are happy for all their help and assistance so far, but we do not need foreign forces to defend our country," Karzai said, BBC News reported. "We want our Afghan forces to defend their homeland."

Day of Dirt Adventure 2012
I gathered a group of local Jeepers (Red Dirt Jeeps) for what had been named the D.O.D. (Day of Dirt) Adventure. It is a trip around the county via as many dirt roads as possible visiting old towns, bridges, cemeteries and such.
We met up mid morning for a quick meet and greet and for a breakfast consisting of breakfast burritos and doughnuts.
It had rained the day before and showered on us a few times while we were staging, so with the greetings out of the way we were off. Or so I thought.. Already had a rig down? Is this a sign of the trip to come?
Just needed a jump, so then we were off.
Our first stop was at Oakview Cemetery, just south of Lovell, Oklahoma. Here I found a headstone for a 5yr old boy who died Sept 4, 1891. For those that don't know, that is 16yrs before Oklahoma became a state.
From here we continued on to Lovell, Oklahoma.
"Lovell began as a Post office on May 22, 1889 while unassigned lands were opened for settlement. Its original name Perth, was changed in 1906 to honor the man who settled and developed the town site, James W. Lovell. Perth, soon to be Lovell, became an agricultural trade center upon completion of a railroad route connecting Guthrie to Enid in 1902, later to become Santa Fe Railroad. Schooling began in 1903 with a population of nearly 200. The Lovell school first met in a 16 x 26 foot sod house, a small frame building was built a few years later. At the time of statehood in 1907 the town had began to fill out having a school, two grain elevators, its founding post office, two cotton gins, the largest blacksmith shop in the area, bank, hotel, lumber yard, and animal feed post. The town gained population and interest in 1926 when an oil boom hit in the near by town Roxana three miles northwest of Lovell. Foreseeing the future, in 1922 construction completed on present larger two room school house. In January of 1928 a fire roared through the east side of Lovells main street, destroying eleven businesses. Without insurance, the Great depression and World War II on the horizon, little rebuilding was redone." pulled from - www.abandonedok.com/lovell-school/
We also located the school and had to stop and take a closer look.
The school held it's last class May 17th, 1955.

We headed a few miles north to Roxana, or what was left of Roxana (nothing). For a town only established in 1927 it didn't hang around long.
We then back tracked a few miles and then headed east to an impressive modified Pratt through truss bridge crossing Skeleton Creek, built in 1927. Here we are all lined up waiting turns to go across.
--- photo by Brian Smith
We continued on down the road.
We crossed over the highway and then things got a bit crazy! As I had mentioned it had rained the day before and off and on the day of, and though we had come across a bit of mud all day we had not come across a road like this.
After everyone made it through the slip-n-slide I developed a noise in the front end that sounded like a rock dragging my brake rotor. A couple of RDJers looked it over and could not find anything, but it no longer made the sound. So on we went.
It was all well worth it though because at the end of the road was a 120' Pin-Connected Pratt bridge crossing Otter Creek that is estimated to be approx 112 years old.
Since this bridge was closed we backed up a bit and took an alternate route, the big Jeep of the group played a bit.
-- photo by Judy Winchester
Due to time and the storm building in the distance I choose to skip a few stops and head to town for a gas and potty break, but stumbled across this.
The Mount Carmel Church around Midway, Oklahoma.
Once we reached Guthrie, Oklahoma for gas and potty break we headed further east through the town of Meridian, however the storm had moved in and was pouring rain so few pictures were taken. We made it to Pops in Arcadia Oklahoma for a nice soda while the rain washed our Jeeps.

Here are a few other pictures from the day along the way.

Since the end of the trip had to be cut short and we didn't not get to visit all the places I had planned it just gives me a place to start the next D.o.D. Adventure.
The next D.o.D. Adventure is set for April 27th... :2thumbsup:

West Harrow is an area which, since 1965, has been located in the London Borough of Harrow in the northwestern part of Greater London. As its name suggests, West Harrow is located on the western side of the London Borough of Harrow, and roughly halfway between the north and south boundaries of the borough. To the southeast of West Harrow is Harrow-on-the-Hill, to its north east is Greenhill, to its west is Rayners Lane, to its north is North Harrow, and to its south are Roxeth and South Harrow.
Prior to the early 20th century West Harrow was overwhelmingly rural. The construction of the Uxbridge extension to the Metropolitan line in 1904, and specifically the new West Harrow tube station, triggered a steady growth of homes in the area, spreading out from the location of the new station. The remaining open pockets of West Harrow were filled with small council and retirement estates in the second half of the 20th century.

Finally, a character has arrived that gives bros a good name. Years after Judd Apatow began churning out man-children and making them popular, a sitcom on Fox has taught the world that a man who frequently makes super-douche-bag comments can still be a decent human being.
That's the lesson we're all taking from Max Greenfield's New Girl character, Schmidt. The Grindstone's Lisa Skapinker does a great job explaining, "Schmidt's ability to balance his traditionally male and female characteristics, and his ability to navigate the reverse discrimination he faces at work, are a large part of what makes him successful in an all-female company."
And yet, there's a part of my that hesitates. It's the part of me that's worked with a man who frequently shared detailed descriptions of his visits to strip clubs. It's the part of me that rolled my eyes day-in and day-out as fist-bumping co-workers got drunk during lunch and turned in expense reports filled out for them by their girlfriends or mothers. (No gentlemen, I did not believe that you suddenly acquired the bubbly script of a teenage girl or the precise cursive of a middle-aged woman. Besides, these aren't the only hand-written reports you turn in. the comparison is pretty clear.)
Max Greenfield plays an amazing character, and I can completely admit that I enjoy watching him week-to-week. But his endearing, yet insecure attempt to be a bro doesn't mean that every man-child in the office is a former fat kid pretending to be cool but really nursing a heart of gold. In fact, I might argue that this description makes up a very small percentage of the bro-tastic, former-frat male population.
I am by no means arguing that every young male you run into at work is a misogynistic creep. That's not even remotely true. There are plenty of amazing Gen Y professionals out there, male and female, who completely fly in the face of their generation's prevailing stereotypes.
And yet, bros have taken up a place in my generation's narrative, and it's for a reason. This self-centered, peacock of an existence is recognizable everywhere. And for a million and one reasons, they are decidedly difficult to reign in or manage in the office.
Where Schmidt is attempting to fit in to an all-female office, bros normally seem to be resentful of female empowerment and quick to belittle or sexualize women to gain control. After all, you don't tell a story about strippers to a completely disinterested female co-worker because you think she'll enjoy it. I know very few women who want to hear about g-strings and pasties before their morning coffee. You talk about females in a derogatory and sexist manner to reiterate a female's place as a sexual object.
It's very difficult to see some women as sexual objects (not to be confused with human beings who possess their own sexuality) and others as respected individuals. Bros who talk about women as targets or conquests have a difficult time with females in a management capacity. And that's something that no adorable character on TV show can address or turn around. Schmidt seems like an awesome character that I would love to find in my office. But that doesn't mean that every guy contributing to the douche-bag jar is really a Prince Charming in disguise, and it doesn't making working with them any easier.

For the tenth time since 1932, the Rumanian Court of Appeals postponed the trial of the four Rumanian gendarmes accused of having brutally tortured Samson Bronstein, member of the central committee of the Rumanian Poale Zion, Socialist Zionist party. The reason assigned for today's postponement was the absence of two of the accused.
Bronstein was arrested in May, 1932, on suspicion that he was identified with illegal Communist activities in Rumania. During his "examination" by local gendarmes headed by Captain Panisoara, he was so brutally beaten and tortured for six hours that he was confined to a hospital for more than six months. At first it was thought that Bronstein would never walk again, but he has since recovered.
The three gendarmes and Captain Panisoara have so far pleaded not guilty.

Saaaaturday...in the paaaark...I think it was the Fourth of Juleyeeyeeye...
So, because this year is no different, I am struggling to figure out what to do and when to do it.
My actual birthday is on the 4th of July. (Oh yes, I AM a Yankee Doodle Dandy, and I will remind you of this by SINGING SO. Possibly many, many times throughout the birthday celebration. Also possibly while inebriated. You know.)
I DO want to combine it with a blog party, and just have one big ole' get-together that involves silliness. (Duh.) However, my schedule and your schedule and my non-II Fs' schedules are impossible. So what do I do? Should I pick:
* Saturday, July 1
* Monday, July 3
* Saturday, July 15
I would LIKE to do it closer to my birthday, (like the 3rd), but will everyone be away or traveling or busy? The 15th might be clear for all, but is that too late?
Help! Please send feedback!
Every so often, El_G would go on something of a rant about how, evolutionarily speaking, human beings got awfully short-shrifted. He would declare (and I'm paraphrasing) that it's a REALLY GOOD thing that we grew big brains and an affinity for technology, because otherwise we would have been wiped out pretty much right after we managed to stand upright.
Take, for example, the fact that the male reproductive organ is basically just hanging out down there, completely exposed and ready to be bitten off by some wild animal. I mean, thankfully we were big-brained enough to invent pants. But still. (I wonder how many years it took man to invent athletic cups. I'm guessing longer than it took man to figure out that he really likes throwing things at other members of the species.)
Anyway, my stupid point for the day is this: I have a VERY HARD TIME believing that Mother Nature has any sort of acceptable explanation for why humans have an evolutionary need, while under stress, to break out in zits.

Um, technically speaking, humans are not the only males to have external genitals, but they seem to be the only ones who wear pants.ReplyDelete
I'm just saying.
and what's worse... is that those zits continue into your 40s... even while you're also battling gray hair and wrinkles!!!ReplyDelete
or maybe that's just me.
as for the celebration of all things kiki... all those dates are good.

My grandfather had his birthday on the 4th of July. And as his entire family was together eating hot dogs, drinking beer and watching fireworks, I used to think that having your birthday on the 4th of July would be the best day ever!

Working in real estate means that weekend afternoons are pretty much always shot. However, holiday weekends rock because no one wants to go to an open house when there are picnics and such to enjoy. So, because I'm selfish and I want to make it to this get together I'm going to vote for the 1st.ReplyDelete
I just hope my SO doesn't have other plans for that weekend.
I vote for the 1st or the 3rd of July. You don't want to do it too far away from the actual day. That's a 4 day weekend for me... you are so lucky to have a long weekend birthday! I'm a Labor Day baby, and I love it!ReplyDelete
evolutionary reason for zits during stressful times:ReplyDelete
hmmm...keeping your sexual attractiveness to a minimum so you won't be distracted in the bedroom and you will have more time to solve your stress-inducing problems.
just a theory.
that's certainly one possible explanation. however, i'd posture that it would make more sense to UP the attractiveness levels, so as to increase your chances for getting laid (because what better stress reliever is there, really?)...
I'd vote for the 3rd or 15th. 1st is bad for me. Not that my availability matters. ;DReplyDelete
As I live in the valley, I'm often glad that we evolved to the point to invent air conditioning. It's freaking hot out here today.
I'm sure it has something to do with my sophisticated survival instinct that causes me to spend more $$ on skincare products than on groceries.ReplyDelete

human beings haven't been under substantial evolutionary pressure for a long time; most of us survive and reproduce whether we are "fit" or not. Trying to apply an adaptive paradigm to human behavior and evolution doesn't work all that well, and isn't really scientifically sound (though it's fun when you're drunk).ReplyDelete
As for zits, there are a number of possibilities, namely two: Zits had a purpose in the past, but are now evolutinary holdovers (like, say, the appendix) and since they don't tend to HURT us, we don't evolve out of them. OR it's possible that zits are a byproduct of something else (perhaps some aspect of the immune system) and while zits themselves are not adaptive, this other function is, so we have zits.

Theme for Middle-earth: All Shall Come to Darkness
Theme for Middle-earth: All Shall Come to Darkness
THE ARMY OF THE DEAD, a theme for
Middle-earth in the
subcategory of All Shall Come to Darkness, is an eerie mixture of low men's voices and
instruments (including
Hanging Gongs) with high, diaphanous strings. Not
actually used in direct conjunction with the Army of
the Dead, the theme mostly provides a sense of
foreboding before the oathbreakers are ever
encountered. Although the melody remains fairly
consistent, the lyrics and source text vary.
Places this
theme is heard in ROTK:
At Dunharrow, Éomer says, "That mountain
is evil." The horses are nervous. Aragorn looks towards the mountain
and sees an apparition of the Dead King. This scene uses
lyrics from
Dimholt Road.
The Army of the Dead theme plays under
the Fellowship theme as the Three
Hunters set out from Dunharrow to seek the Paths of the Dead. This
scene does not use voices.
As the Three Hunters make their way
along the Dimholt Road. Legolas recounts the history of the dead
that dwell under the mountain. This scene is longer in the EE than
the TE. This scene uses
lyrics from
Way is Shut.
As the Three Hunter realize the floor of
the mountain is covered in skulls and bones and they must walk on
them to proceed. There are voices but
don't know what they are singing.

How do you feel? Let your app tell you.
There is an ever increasing number of people who claim that technology is a deeply emotional endeavor. Just look at "Her:" humans are depicted as emotional-connection craving beings; in return, technology wanted nothing but independence from us. Interesting as it may be, there is a real happening in the next-gen apps that monitor our heart rate, facial expressions and warmth of our skin to understand whether we are happy, cranky or tired.
The so-called "emotional data layer" can indeed help our interactions. It can make them more personalized, effective or more fun. In other words, it can make an experience more seamless a.k.a usable. The ultimate role of emotions with technology is a better usability.
I like this thought.


text: By ANDREW WALDMANT-G Staff WriterAshland City Schools Board of Education spent $14,290 in July on legal fees.Since July 5, two attorneys from Cleveland-based law firm Squire, Sanders & Dempsey have been attending board meetings, holding conferences with board members, reviewing published newspaper articles, viewing videotapes of previous board meetings, researching constitutional law and providing related legal advice to the board.The July bill the most recent available brings the boards total 2006 legal fees to $59,415.35, an amount four to eight times more than other comparable school districts. And the legal bills for August likely will be similar to Julys because the board continued to have attorneys present at its two public meetings and three special meetings which adjourned directly into executive session.Board President James Wolfe Tuesday refused to explain specific reasons why the board required such extensive legal counsel.However, board members Rick Ewing and Sue Timmons told the Times-Gazette Thursday legal fees are a result of a lawyer being needed to review contractual information during an extensive evaluation of Supt. Jim Jones. (Wolfe earlier had refused to comment on whether Jones was being evaluated.) Squire partner D. Lewis Clark has been attending board meetings and executive sessions and providing advice and conferences. Senior counsel John Lewis also has provided advice and conferences to the board during July.In total, the lawyers spent 55.55 hours on these non-routine governance matters, 40.8 of which were billable. Without these non-routine charges, the boards July bill would have been just $190. Lewis hourly fee is $375 while Clarks is about $286. The board also pays mileage from either Cleveland or Columbus and copying fees.Wolfe said he called for legal counsel after the board decided together it required such services.(Clark) is here to ensure that the actions of the board are compliant with our legal obligations, Wolfe said after Tuesdays board executive session in the presence of Clark. The board agreed that we should have legal counsel at these meetings.In addition to legal counsel, Ohio School Boards Association management development specialist Laura Kohler has been in attendance at several meetings at a cost of $125 per meeting. Kohler originally was retained to facilitate the boards failed strategic planning push over the summer.When asked about Kohlers role in these meetings, Wolfe said no comment, but his fellow board members said she was assisting in the evaluation of Jones. There are contractual issues that the attorney would have the knowledge to solve, said Ewing. OSBA has the experience with the formats and processes of employee evaluations.Timmons said in the past, she hadnt worked with a lawyer, but because the board is so inexperienced, the advice was needed. The superintendent has a contract and you know how it is these days, said Timmons. Whenever you have a contract, you have to make sure you have to follow procedures. Clark said the board is acting within its authority. I can assure you that the board is using legal counsel in a way thats prudent, said Clark. Though Ewing made it clear the board is evaluating the superintendent, legal invoices still raise questions about other matters, including research into actions at the May 25 meeting. At that meeting, Wolfe and Jones read statements regarding an ongoing e-mail controversy in which electronic discussions of public business likely violated Ohios Open Meetings Act in at least five cases.Wolfe read an apology and asked the community to move past the e-mail issue. Jones read an impassioned statement that highlighted the dysfunctional nature of some members of the board while calling the entire situation an e-mail fiasco.According to the July invoices, Lewis spent 5.5 hours on July 11 in conferences with individual board members, (OSBA) personnel, and review of May 25 board meeting all relating to governance and strategic plan.On July 13, Lewis researched constitutional law and reviewed the May 25 meeting again. On July 19, Clark reviewed the video tape of the May 25 meeting, media articles and other documents.On July 22, Clark noted attention to an article from the Times-Gazette regarding Mayor William Strines attempt to mediate between the board and superintendent.The other major 2006 legal expense dealt with attorneys reviewing the board and administration e-mail communications that were requested by several citizens and the Times-Gazette.The board spent an estimated $20,000 from April until June to have attorneys redact any confidential information discussed in the e-mail correspondence, which numbered in the hundreds of pages. The e-mail correspondence revealed a split between the board and its superintendent with board member Charles Fulk, Wolfe and Timmons carrying on extensive conversation about Jones, often calling for his dismissal and legal action. Disparaging comments about other administrators and community members were included in the e-mail conversations.Several legal experts said some of the conversations likely violated Ohios Open Meeting Act because a majority of board members were discussing public business outside an open meeting.n Contact Andrew Waldman at 419-281-0581, ext. 243, or by e-mail at email@example.com.

The Oklahoma Wesleyan men's soccer team is at the top of the conference and rankings as the regular season has come to a close. All that awaits is the possibility of postseason glory.
The Eagles (16-2-0) had an unblemished record in the Midlands Collegiate Athletic Conference, going 5-0 this season.
OKWU is also atop the NCCAA Division I rankings and has been there for eight weeks. Seven of those weeks saw the Eagles receive all the first-place votes. The Eagles are No. 4 in the NAIA poll.
Eagles' coach Jamie Peterson said he knows that a lot went into having such a great run through the regular season.
"The guys have worked hard and put in a lot of effort," Peterson said. "The coaching staff has been a huge help, getting our guys prepared each week.
"Obviously, to go 16-2, you have to be blessed a little along the way, and God's blessed with good health and a great group of guys that seem to work extremely hard for each other."

By Mathew Tully
Question: My wife and I are preparing to buy our first house, and the seller we're dealing with has been squirrely when I ask about the condition of the property. Can he get away with flat-out lying about his property's condition?
Response: Home buyers put themselves at great financial risk if they base their decision to go through with a purchase solely on the seller's or an agent's statements about a property's condition made either verbally or in writing.
New York's Real Property Law requires most sellers to complete and sign a property condition disclosure statement (PCDS). If the seller does not furnish this document, the buyer should receive a $500 credit against the agreed-upon purchase price. Even this legal document warns buyers that it "is not a warranty of any kind by the seller or by any agent representing the seller … [and i]t is not a substitute for any inspections or tests."
While reviewing a PCDS, buyers need to know that sellers under certain circumstances can get away with flat-out lying or lying through omission. Even if the seller commits fraud by lying about flooding in the home's basement, for example, the buyer must still negate the doctrine of caveat emptor ("buyer beware").
So, if a seller says there are no flooding problems and you buy the home based upon that assertion only to later find it to be false, to collect damages you would have to prove that the seller knew about this defect in the first instance. That can be easier said than done.
You'd also have to prove that the seller willfully lied or tried to cover up that defect. Then you'd have to prove that you had no way of knowing there were any past flooding problems. A tough uphill battle, indeed.
The case Daly v. Kochanowicz et al. involved a buyer who purchased lakefront property in Westchester County (67 A.D.3d 78 [N.Y. App. Div. 2009]). After her new home was "catastrophically flooded" after two severe storms, she sued the seller. The buyer claimed the seller deceived her into believing there were no prior water intrusion problems. The buyer's inspector had noted evidence of water intrusion in the basement, but the seller denied knowing of any such problem. The seller did not provide a PCDS to the seller — despite requests from the buyer for her to do so. Instead, the seller provided the buyer with a $500 credit as required by the law if no PCDS was given.
Even though the buyer later learned that the seller had received — and did not disclose information pertaining to — a federal flood insurance loss payment two years before the closing, the court dismissed the lawsuit.
First, the court noted that the seller or her agent were not obligated to disclose water intrusion history information, with exception to the requirement to complete the PCDS. It further noted that the buyer was put on fair notice about the possibility of water intrusion problems, as evidenced by the home inspector's report, a survey showing a river in the property's northern boundary, and an advisory that the state maintains an easement though the property to access the river.
Showing that a buyer relied on a seller's misrepresentation is not enough, the court said. A buyer must also prove that "this reliance was reasonable or justifiable." With all these red flags, the court said the buyer's reliance on the misrepresentation was not reasonable and she did not perform her due diligence concerning any flooding issues with the property.
The best defense against unpleasant surprises post-closing is the recruitment of an experienced home inspector and leaving no stone unturned during the inspection and contract process.
Additionally, where the sellers are reluctant to provide a completed PCDS to a client at the time of contract signing, you need to have a serious conversation with your attorney about what type of red flag this is sending and what precautions should be taken at that time.
When a PCDS is given, but is incomplete, it is better to make the contract contingent upon the review of a completed PCDS. If the PCDS or an inspector's report note any material defects or other issues, have your real estate law attorney address these issues during the attorney approval process before waiving your rights under the contract.

Indonesia's SBY says food security must be G20 priority
Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono said Thursday that food security should be a key priority for the G20, warning that soaring food prices could lead to more unrest.
"Indonesia fully supports the prioritisation of food security in the G20 agenda," the president told members of the world political and economic elite gathered at the Swiss ski resort of Davos for the World Economic Forum.
Citing United Nations food agency data, Yudhoyono noted that food prices have reached 2008 prices and "could still go up."
"High food prices impact on inflation but also poverty and hunger which could lead to social and political unrest," he said.
"In the medium and long term, we should be prepared for a growing world population," he added.
Cereal prices reached a record high in 2008, sparking a food crisis and rioting in a number of African countries, as well as in Haiti and in the Philippines.
Violent demonstrations over recent weeks in several countries -- including Tunisia and Algeria -- have been provoked in part by escalating food prices.
Noting that the world population is already approaching seven billion this year and expected to reach nine billion by twenty-forty-five, he warned that a failure to manage resources including food could spark the next conflict.
"The next economic war or conflict can be over the scarce resources if we do not manage it together," Yudhoyono said.
The Indonesian president also pointed out that Asia is undergoing a resurgence which would "redefine global affairs."
"I let the pundits debate if we are on the threshold of an Asian century," he said.
"One thing is indisputable, Asia is undergoing rapid and strong, economic, social cultural and strategic resurgence, the sums of which is certain to redefine global afairs."
Yudhoyono, whose country is chairing the Association of South-east Asian Nations this year, said that Asia is "more than China, Japan and India."
"If you think of Asia, also think of Indonesia and ASEAN," he insisted, stressing that Indonesia would "feature prominently in Asia's renaissance."
But with Asia's rise, countries in the region should also be allowed to deal with their own problems through regional groupings, as the European Union is taking the lead on the debt crisis, he said.
The World Economic Forum opened Wednesday with executives highlighting a power shift from the advanced world to emerging markets.

Great ProductI love Aveeno products, and the skin relief body wash is one of my fav's. It does exactly what it says; and if your skin is extra sensitive plus dry try their skin relief or soothing bath treatment, following one of aveeno lotions of your choice. Their products can be a bit pricey but they work!!! — 8 years, 6 months agoapplepiealamode | 13 reviews
Try this body wash...your skin will thank you for it!!!I don't have the most sensitive skin, but my skin does get irritated from time to time. Aveeno was recommended by my doctor and I am so appreciative that she recommended this product and brand to me. This body wash is gentle enough for anyone's skin, it doesn't strip away your skin's moisture, and it is reassuring to know that I am using a product that is not full of unnatural ingredients. Everyone should definitely give this body wash a shot. — 8 years, 8 months agoNette22 | 16 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This

On Wednesday, September 23rd, Emory & Henry's Health Professions Club held a successful first meeting for the 2015-2016 academic year. This meeting marked the organization's reinstatement as an official club after a stretch of inactivity. With several new members and plans for monthly meetings, the Health Professions Club is set for a successful semester.
The evening kicked off with a cookout where students mingled with other club members and faculty from the newly-established School of Health Sciences (SHS) in Marion. Following the dinner, attendees moved inside for the formal meeting. Pre-Health Director Dr. Chris Qualls introduced both the goals for the Health Professions Club and the representatives from the SHS.
The SHS faculty made it clear that they are willing to play an active role in the academic pursuits of Emory & Henry undergraduates. Lou Fincher, Dean of the SHS began by giving an overview of the school's mission and opportunities for students to visit and get involved with their campus. Dr. Jean Irion, Physical Therapy Program Director, expressed equal enthusiasm in explaining her profession and offering to any student interested in the program to sit in on any of the graduate-level classes. Dr. John Jackson, Director of the Occupational Therapy (OT) program, introduced the various skills and responsibilities of an occupational therapist. Students were also offered the opportunity to work closely with the program's state-of-the-art labs. The SHS Physician Assistant (PA) program was introduced by Scott Richards, Director of Physician Assistant Studies. Dr. Richards encouraged students with a variety of medical interests to consider PA programs.
Each Health Professions Club meeting will incorporate guest speakers that match members' professional interests. Speakers will include various professionals and Emory & Henry alumni who are currently in graduate school. The Health Professions Club next meeting is set for mid-October.

Blogs HNN INDIAN MUJAHIDEEN: RISE OF JIHADAug 15, 2008 6:43 pm
Kashmir is a burning and Indian Mujahadin are a bombing. In a recent speech, the Indian prime minister Manmohan Singh admitted that the very unity of India was being challenged.
Terrorism, extremism, communalism and fundamentalism have emerged as major challenges to the unity and integrity of our country.
Here is the text of a pamphlet released by"Indian Mujahideen in the land of Hind," an Islamist group which takes credit for the recent strings of bombing in India. It is entitled: THE RISE OF JIHAD, REVENGE OF GUJARAT. An Indian friend sent it to me. I skipped a few Koran quotes at the beginning. It makes chilling reading:
Here we are back - the Mujahideen of India - the terrorists on the disbelievers - the radicals of Islam - after our triumphant and successful assault at Jaipur, once again calling you all, who disbelieve in Allah and His Messenger Muhammad (peace be upon him) to accept Islam and bear witness that there is none to be worshipped except Allah, and that Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the Messenger of Allah. Accept Islam and save yourselves.
O Hindus! O disbelieving faithless Indians! Haven't you still realized that the falsehood of your 33 crore dirty mud idols and the blasphemy of your deaf, dumb, mute and naked idols of ram, krishna and hanuman are not at all going to save your necks, Insha-Allah, from being slaughtered by our hands? Nor is your fictitious faith in monkeys, pigs and nude statues going to save you from the Wrath of Allah and His Humiliating Punishment. Know that it is only the true confession of the Oneness of Allah Alone, with no associates, that can save your blood from being spilled on the streets of your own cities.
We call you, O Hindus, O enemies of Allah, to take an honest stance with yourselves lest another attack of Ibn-e-Qasim sends shivers down your spines, lest another Ghauri shakes your foundations, and lest another Ghaznawi massacres you, proving your blood to be the cheapest of all mankind! Have you forgotten your history full of subjugation, humiliation, and insult? Or do you want us to repeat it again? Take heed before it is too late!
Yes! We - the terrorists of India – THE INDIAN MUJAHIDEEN, - the militia of Islam whose each and every Mujahid belongs to this very soil of India - have returned, to execute the compulsion of Allah:"Fight them (the disbelievers), Allah will punish them by your hands and bring them to disgrace, and give you victory over them and He will heal the hearts of those who believe." (Qur'an 9:14).
Here we begin the answer to your tyranny and oppression, raising the illustrious banner of Jihad against the Hindus and all those who fight and resist us, and here we begin our revenge with the Help and Permission of Allah, - A terrifying revenge of our blood, our lives, and our honor that will Insha-Allah terminate your survival on this land.
Remember, O you Gujarati Hindus! O you filthy, shameless and foul creatures! O you Gujarati Hindus, most immoral and the most gutless cowards! Remember whom you have fought against! You have fought against the inheritors of a Messenger of Allah, of a Prophet of Allah whose terror was cast on the enemy from a distance of a month's journey.
You have fought against the warriors who love death more than you love life, who fight for a cause that makes them enter a never-ending Paradise, who fight for an absolute purpose - the purpose of making Islam superior over all religions.
So wait! ................ Await now……….! Wait only for five minutes from now! .... Wait for the Mujahideen and Fidayeen of Islam and stop them if you can - who will make you feel the terror of Jihad. Feel the havoc cast into your hearts by Allah, the Almighty, face His Dreadful Punishment, and suffer the results of fighting the Muslims and the Mujahideen. Await the anguish, agony, sorrow and pain. Await, only for 5 minutes, to feel the fear of death.
All Praise and Glory be to Allah, Who Alone Helps His slaves, Who Alone Fulfils His Promise, and Who Alone Defeats the enemy.
O leader of disbelieving cowards and eunuchs, Narendra Modi!
O you base-born of illegitimate birth!
O you spineless coward!
You boast of the pride of Gujarat and pride of Gujaratis. You brag of your filthy faith and conviction in Hindutva. You are the one who claims to be committed and devoted to Gujarat. You sick politician who used Hinduism to complete your evil desires. Look! We are back with the Will of Allah, striking in your own land. With the Will of Allah, assaulting and ruining your own cities, raiding and ravaging your own territory! Show us where has all your Gujarati asmita (pride) gone? Look, you have incurred Allah's Wrath, You have provoked the Mujahideen to massacre you and your five and a half crore multitude of pathetic infidels who tortured us in the post- Godhra riots asking "where is your Allah"? Here He Is, The Most Supreme, The Most Sublime, with His Punishment to chastise you by our hands. We swear by Allah in Whose Hands are our lives, we will make you, O Modi, an example and a lesson, that the enemies of Islam should learn from. This is our beginning! Our commencement! Our Opening Launch! To burn you alive in your own Hell - your own Gujarat.
O You sick criminals of the Hindu Parishad! You nasty dogs of the RSS! Yes! We know you, we identify you by your ugly faces! We will not be satisfied until we make each and every criminal pay for every drop of blood you spilled and for each and every cry of the oppressed women and children. Our swords are ready to cut off your veins and to push you into the Hell Fire. This is our assurance to you, a promise to you, a pledge to you, which Allah Alone, The Most Exalted with His Will shall fulfill.
This is our Qisaas - our revenge, and in it lies our life. In the light of the injustice and wrongs on the Muslims of Gujarat, we advance our Jihad and call all our brethren under it to unite and answer these irresolute kafireen of India. We call you, O Muslims of Gujarat, to elevate yourselves from the fear of these wretched hindus, to unify all your courage and bravery that you have in your hearts. Come! Move forward and grasp the hold of the Qur'an and the Sunnah of His Messenger (peace be upon him). Get stimulated and reinforce all your strength to revive the same valor and daring as that of the Sahaabah (companions) of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) had. Show these weak-willed hindu cowards the onslaught of Khalid bin Waleed, the determination of Ali bin Abi Talib, the bravery of Saad bin Abi Waqqas, the heroism of Abu Bakr and Umar, and the guts of Talhah and Zubair. Let these spineless Hindus know that you inherit fearless courage of Salahuddin Ayyubi, Tariq bin Ziyad and Muhammad bin Qasim.
O Muslims of Gujarat! Inspire yourselves from the Qur'anic chapters of 'Anfal' and 'Taubah' and from the events of 'Badr' and 'Uhud'. I ask you: Do you still hesitate to fight these hindus? Just think how much you and we have suffered during and after the riots. Think of the fraud perpetrated on us in the name of the Nanavati Commission. Remember the blasphemy of the Government in the name of judiciary and the fast-track courts. O my brethren! I ask you and make you witness over yourself. I ask you what good these bastard police and military have ever done for us? They all are one, and they unite for only one purpose - the annihilation of Muslims.
The terms Democracy, secularism, equality, integrity, peace, freedom, voting, elections are yet another fraud with us. Have you forgotten what the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "The believer is not stung twice by the same hole". I ask you, who has healed your wounds so far? Congress, or BJP? Do you still want the media and agencies like "Tehelka" to expose your torture and make money in return of your burnt dead bodies and present all this in front of the judiciary so that they can watch this 'drama' of your killing and laugh at you, seeing you cry and beg for justice. By Allah! This is much more humiliating for us than being killed by their hands.
O Muslim youth of Gujarat! O you force of Islam! Stand up and rise! Fulfill your duty towards Allah:"O you who believe! Fight those disbelievers who are near you and let them find harshness in you and know that Allah is with those who keep their duty unto Him. (Qur'an 9: 123)"Go forth light armed or heavy armed and fight with your wealth and your lives in the way of Allah, that is better for you if you but knew.[(Qu'ran 9: 41).
Come, O Muslim Youth! Make your preparations with whatever you have. Join our ranks and help us – the ranks of Indian Mujahideen to strengthen the Jihad against the Hindus. Get ready with all the weapons you have. Plan and organize your moves. Select your targets. Target these evil politicians and leaders of BJP, RSS, VHP and Bajrang Dal, who provoke the masses against you. Target and kill the wicked police force who were watching the "fun" of your bloodshed and who handed you to the rioting sinful culprits. Target their hired
With these triumphant attacks, we send our message to all those faithless infidels and their hypocrite allies from amongst the so called Muslims like Arshad Madni & Mehmood Madni who have bartered their faith in return of just one seat in the Parliament and we hereby declare an ultimatum to all the state governments of India, especially to those of Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Maharashtra to stop harassing the Muslims and keep a check on their killing, expulsion, and encounters. We warn you of your foolish plots that you plan against us, thinking that you can curb our missions and foil our targets. Here are our demands that you must fulfill if you hope for your well being.
a) You agitated our sentiments and disturbed us by arresting, imprisoning, and torturing our brothers in the name of SIMI and the other outfits in Indore, Ujjain, Mumbai, and in other cities of Karnataka. We hereby notify you, especially the ATS and the STF and the governments of Madhya Pradesh and Andhra Pradesh, to release them all, lest you become our next targets and victims of our next attack. Don't consider us heedless about the crimes you have committed in recent Indore riots and all this will be, Insha-Allah brought to account very soon.
b) We warn the Andhra Pradesh government, specifically the Hyderabad Police, to release the imprisoned Muslim youth immediately, and to be wise with yourselves. We are watching you, and our ground-work to gun you down has already begun. Insha-Allah, we will be rid of you very soon.
c) To the Maharashtra government and the rascals like Vilasrao Deshmukh and R.R. Patil, we announce the deadline to take heed before it is too late. Don't think we informers and spies even if they are the disloyal and betraying munafiqeen (hypocrites) of our Ummah. O Muslims of Gujarat! If a petty population of Rajasthani Gujjars can use force for fulfilling their needs, then are we even more subjugated than these backwards? are unaware of the SRPF attacks on our Masjids and our homes, the insult of our Qur'an and your enmity with the Muslims in Digras and the nearby areas in Yavatmal and of the burning alive of three Muslims in Jalna with the backing of police. Yes! It is all being recorded and you will face the ill consequences thereof. And also the troubles faced by the Madrasa students and Muslim women in Mumbai Western Railways. We wonder at your memory. Have you forgotten the evening of 7/11/2006 so quickly and so easily?
You try to fool us in the name of fast-track courts made for '93 riot cases, through which you wish to free the actual Hindu culprits like Madhukar Sarpotdar who was caught red-handed with illegal firearms while the innocent Muslims arrested in the bomb blast case are being tried in the courts for years and years. Is this the hellish justice you speak of? I urge all the Muslims of Maharashtra to denounce those Muslim MLA's who prove themselves to be the loyal dogs of Congress and NCP. Beware! O you criminals! you are already on our hit-list and our cross-hair now! We also alert Mukesh Ambani to think twice before usurping and building a citadel on a land in Mumbai that belongs to the Waqf Board, lest it turns into horrifying memories for you which you will never ever forget.
d) The news of the lawyers of the Bar Council in UP denying to fight the cases of our Muslim brethren has already reached us. Remember, you are provoking us to repeat the same blasts in civil courts that blew up your bodies into pieces.
e) Lastly, we intimidate and threaten the Media and the News channels, especially the TIMES OF INDIA and the TIMES NOW to be extra cautious in their propaganda war against the Muslims. Your biased and impartial approach to the news and the noise and the politics you make of 'Islamic Terrorism' indicates your hostility, hatred and fear that you grudge against Muslims and your loyal allegiance to the cunning ones who call themselves the "Intelligence Bureau". You become dumb when it comes to the oppression and torture of the Muslims, faced in riots, firing, encounters, police custodies, remand homes and civil courts and your propaganda turns violent to project the 'brutality' of 'Islamic terrorists' and their 'ruthlessness' and their 'merciless mentality' and so on. We warn you to end this hypocrisy or get ready for a bloody slaughter.
The Indian Mujahideen hereby claim the sole responsibility of the Gujarat serial blasts, planned and executed by Indians only and it is our request to Lashkar-e-Toiba and other organizations, for the sake of Allah, not to claim the responsibility for these attacks.
This message is a declaration of hostility towards all those who fight Allah, His Messenger, and His Religion. While hoping for the Help and Victory from Allah we declare that such and more severe attacks shall continue irrespective of what the blamers blame us for.The hosts (of the kafireen) will all be routed and will turn and flee. [Qur'an 54: 45].
We ask Allah to forgive us and Have Mercy on us and Aid us to conquer the unbelievers and Guide us to raise His Word and degrade His enemies with His Will Alone.
And peace be upon His Messenger, and all those who follow the Guidance.

White Paper: Why Indian Software Outsourcing Companies are Outsourcing to China
By Paul M. Denlinger
This white paper examines some of the unique challenges Indian software companies are facing:
- The decreasing talent pool;
- Rising costs;
- Insufficient infrastructure and;
- Not enough time to train and build infrastructure
It then shows how China is the answer to their problems because:
- It has only talent pool which is large enough to compare to India's;
- The local talent pool is still largely untapped in the second-tier cities;
- Ten cities have targeted software development as part of their development initiatives;
- Good universities provide strong training and basic skills;
- English and communication skills are swiftly catching up.
8 Responses to "White Paper: Why Indian Software Outsourcing Companies are Outsourcing to China"
I click on the white paper. I am now here. I see comment box. I comment. Now, how do I get le livre blanc?
What you posted was very logical. However, what about this?
suppose you were to write a killer title? I mean, I don't wish to tell you how to run your blog, however what if you added a headline that grabbed folk's attention? I mean White Paper: Why Indian Software Outsourcing Companies are Outsourcing to China | The China Vortex is a little vanilla. You might peek at Yahoo's front page and watch how they create article titles to get people to click. You might try adding a video or a picture or two to get readers excited about what you've got to say. Just my opinion, it would bring your posts a little livelier.
I do trust all the ideas you've introduced in your post. They're very convincing and can definitely
work. Still, the posts are too brief for beginners.
May you please prolong them a bit from next time? Thank you for the post.
wonderful post, very informative. I wonder why the opposite specialists of this sector don't understand this. You should proceed your writing. I am sure, you have a huge readers' base already!
It's a shame you don't have a ԁonate button! I'd definitely donate to this brilliant blog! I suppose for now i'll settle for bookmarking and adding your RSS feed to mу Goοgle
aсcount. I look forwaгd to nеw updates and will talκ abοut this websіte with my Facebоok grоuρ.
Talk soon!
Hello! Would yοu mіnd if I ѕhare youг blog with my twіtter group?
Thеrе's a lot of people that I think would really appreciate your content. Please let me know. Cheers

Many terms are used to classify the teaching staff members who work directly with children in child care, preschool, and kindergarten programs. For example, the terms teacher, lead teacher, master teacher, assistant teacher, teacher aide, caregiver, child care provider, and floater are commonly used to classify positions of varying responsibility. For the purpose of NAEYC Accreditation, only two titles are used to represent teaching staff members: teacher and assistant teacher-teacher aide. Individuals should be classified as these positions based on the role they fill. Programs may engage other individuals to support the program administrator and teaching staff, but NAEYC does not outline qualifications for these additional roles. Those staff members whose assigned roles are teacher or assistant teacher-teacher aide must meet the requirements for those positions as outlined by NAEYC Accreditation.
Teaching Staff
|All adults working at a program who are assigned the role of teacher or assistant teacher-teacher aide.
Adult with primary responsibility for a group of children.
For the purposes of NAEYC Accreditation, a group of children is defined as those children who are assigned for most of the day to a specific teacher or a team of teaching staff members and who occupy an individual classroom or well-defined space that prevents intermingling of children from different groups within a larger room or area. Each group must have at least one designated teacher. The teacher must spend the vast majority of time with one group of children who attend at the same time rather than divide time between classrooms or float between groups.
Assistant teacher–teacher aide
Adult who works under the direct supervision of a teacher.
An assistant teacher–teacher aide can work independently in a teacher's absence, but for the vast majority of the time, the assistant teacher–teacher aide works directly with the teacher in the same space and with the same group of children.
Adult who replaces a specific teacher or assistant teacher–teacher aide on a temporary basis.
A substitute who replaces a specific teacher or assistant teacher-teacher aide for 20 or more consecutive business days must be considered a member of the teaching staff. NAEYC recognizes that programs may use substitutes to supplement the teaching staff.
Other adult
Adult not considered part of the teaching staff, including:
*Ancillary Professionals: Adult with appropriate specialized credentials that engages children in planned activities and experiences (e.g., therapeutic consultant, music teacher, gym teacher, speech-language therapist, librarian). When an ancillary professional (such as a music teacher, art teacher, or librarian) is providing a planned activity for one hour or less, that person may be counted toward the teaching staff ratio but does not need to be included in other reporting requirements for the teaching staff. An ancillary professional working in this capacity should have the orientation described in Criterion 6.A.03 for substitutes and volunteers.
Need help?
Speak directly with NAEYC Early Learning Program staff about the NAEYC Accreditation process, educational qualifications, classes, and much more by contacting us at 1-800-424-2460, option 3.

Pulmonary Fibrosis
What percent of patients live beyond 5-6 yars after diagnosis? Are there any foreign hospitals/ drugs that are better for treatment than here in the US?
Hi, The survival prediction is based on a number of patients with the disease, but does not predict a single patient's outcome. The prognosis also depends on the type of pulmonary fibrosis that the patient has. For example, the type of pulmonary fibrosis with more white blood cells called lymphocytes tends to do better. The type of pulmonary fibrosis with fewer white blood cells and more scarring tends to do worse. The mean survival is up to 2-3 years after diagnosis for patients with the scarring form of pulmonary fibrosis and longer with the more cellular form of the disease. To my understanding, most of the major studies in the disease are available in the US and foreign countries. Many people are working diligently to find a better treatment.

Fresh Tracks Resident Artist Profile: Parul Shah
Meet Parul Shah, Fresh Tracks Resident Artist, and Kathak dancer and choreographer. Shah is an internationally acclaimed Kathak dancer and choreographer whose work is expanding the classical medium beyond cultural boundaries. With a dedication to excellence, Parul preserves the form's aesthetic integrity while developing a unique and powerful vocabulary within the Kathak tradition itself. Behind Parul's work is decades of rigorous Kathak training under the world-renowned guru and choreographer, Padmashree Kumudini Lakhia at the Kadamb Center for Dance and Music in Ahmedabad, India. Ms. Lakhia's pioneering work revitalized the form for 20th century audiences, and her training has produced forward-thinking Kathak artists with original voices. As one of her to students, Paruul has internalized Ms. Lakhia's vision and focused on the importance of revealing Kathak's beauty and possibilities. By remaining within the Kathak tradition, Parul's repertoire challenges stereotypes about classical Indian dance and illustrates the dynamic nature of the form. Her work includes traditional solo pieces alongside compelling contemporary group choreographies. –Parul Shah
Also on Wednesday, Parul Shah danced a "Chasing Shadows" solo that brought the house down. Her sources are splendidly hybrid: contemporary dance, the Kathak technique of north India, the female temple-court artists of south India. They are, in fact, her subject. You could feel what her program note stated, "the inner struggle of a woman who wants to move forward but cannot because her shadows are not only her past but the only identity she knows." —Alastair Macaulay, New York Times, August 24th 2008

Ultimate irony: indoor playgrounds in San Diego
For those whose lives are only about fun and games
Eve Kelly 1 p.m., Sept. 20
Francke named Krug his best bubbly at $99.95, with the '96 Fleury Brut a sleeper at $43.95. Buyer Paris Driggers found it in France, "and he said it held its own with the '96 Dom Perignon, no problem." But what seduced me was the Charles Ellner Rosé Champagne at $27.95, which Francke judged to be a shade better than the Duval-Leroy Rosé. Opened it with the Feuillatte Blanc de Blanc that evening, and was suitably transported by both -- orange blossom and almond in the Feuillatte, Campari and cranberry in the Ellner. People just don't drink enough Champagne. (Note: Wine has a nasty tendency to sell out. If you're interested in buying any of these wines, you may wish to call about availability.)
