Ok, so is that video not the most awesome thing you've seen today? Consider me inspired and wishing I could do something like that! Anywho, Equestria Daily strikes again with the 63rd rendition of their MLP Custom Compilation, and now it's time to take a peek at yet another round of great customs.
It seems like a lot of the pieces this go around are based on the miniature blind bagged ponies. Granted since the 3-packs were just announced on Facebook the other day it couldn't have been better timing. Steampunk Derpy and Babysitting Pinkie Pie both really stand out to me, but I definitely can't go without mentioning the Rarity Duct Tape wallet! As always, head over to Equestria Daily to learn more about each artist and stay tuned until next time!

Bird files lawsuit alleging couple improperly used his name
Ex-Celtics great Larry Bird has filed a lawsuit alleging a couple who bought his former home in southern Indiana are improperly using his name to promote a bed-and-breakfast.
The lawsuit, filed in US District Court in Evansville, claims Georgianna Lincoln and Christopher Cooke did not have permission to use the Hall of Famer's name with the property and are profiting off his trademark by stating the home belonged to him.
"Everybody in French Lick calls it Larry Bird's home," Cooke said. "All I know is they told us certain things when we were considering purchasing the property, and after we bought it they had a different story."
Bird, now president of the Indiana Pacers, has trademarked his name and likeness.
Rookie team namedAl Horford and Kevin Durant headlined the All-Rookie team.
Atlanta's Horford was the only unanimous choice with 58 votes, followed by Seattle's Durant, the Rookie of the Year, with 57 in balloting by the league's coaches.
Houston's Luis Scola, Los Angeles Clippers forward Al Thornton, and Seattle's Jeff Green also made the first team.
The second team was Toronto's Jamario Moon, Memphis's Juan Carlos Navarro, Philadelphia's Thaddeus Young, Detroit's Rodney Stuckey, and Houston's Carl Landry.

Personalized medicine and artificial intelligence
*Michael Rene Kosorok, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Keywords: clinical trials, dynamic treatment regimes, machine learning, reinforcement learning
Personalized medicine has become an increasingly important area of medical research because of its potential to dramatically improve clinical outcome by giving the right treatment to the right person at the right time. Dynamic treatment regimens are specially designed sequences of treatments individualized to each patient to maximize clinical outcome. Each component treatment rule corresponds to a milestone in the disease and treatment process and maps up-to-date patient-level information to a recommended treatment. Statistics plays a key role in the construction of dynamic treatment regimens using observational and randomized clinical trial data. In this presentation, we show how tools from artificial intelligence can be utilized to find such individualized treatment rules. Examples based on treating depression and non-small cell lung cancer will presented, and both recent developments and open research questions will be discussed.

Innovation System Policies in Less Successful Developing countries: The case of Thailand
The issue of the rationale for public intervention under the systems of innovation perspective has recently received an increasing attention among scholars and practitioners. However, with few exceptions, this literature has been based on the analysis of innovation policies and innovation systems in the industrialized countries neglecting almost completely the specific policy dilemmas arising from weak and fragmented innovation systems that characterize developing countries. In the last few years, a growing number of developing countries have adopted the system of innovation approach officially in their innovation policy. Yet, there has not been an adequate attempt to systematically analyze how (and if) this has been done in practice. This paper attempts to shed some light on this issue by analyzing the innovation policy of Thailand. The paper suggests that while innovation system approach might have been officially adopted by a government, the practice follows old innovation paradigms and hardly addresses the profound systemic problems of the Thai innovation system.

Posted on 08/20/2012 12:05:45 PM PDT by caldera599
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Families waiting for San Francisco's cable cars on a recent morning couldn't help but notice Kenny the Clown, who wore a curly rainbow wig as he twisted brightly colored balloons into animal shapes for visitors, blasting Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal" from an iPad at his feet.
Little did the clown know that the tablet doubling as his stereo would turn out to have been stolen from the home of the late Steve Jobs.
"The thing that is embarrassing to me is I'm a huge fan of Steve Jobs," said Kenneth Kahn, 47, a professional entertainer who police say unwittingly received a silver 64GB iPad pilfered from the home of the Apple co-founder last month. "It's just bizarre."
Kahn's friend, Kariem McFarlin, 35, of Alameda was arrested on suspicion of breaking into Jobs' Palo Alto residence on Aug. 2.

Since our founding over five years ago, SumAll's goal has been to democratize data, emancipating our customers' data from the many service providers our customers use and presenting that data in an organized, understandable and actionable format. The response has been amazing, with over 500,000 accounts signed up. Our average SumAll business has four streams connected, over 7,000 contacts and, over 100k records stored. We currently track over billion contacts! That's a lot!
SumAll is dedicated to offering you the same level of innovation, service and reliability that you've come to expect. But handling that amount of data costs a fortune, over $4 million last year.
So, with a heavy heart, today we are announcing that SumAll will be discontinuing our free service and will only be offering premium accounts. Premium accounts allow us to continue our dedication to the vision of a data-enabled world. What this means for our customers is that in a week we will be archiving free accounts. What this means for current free users is they will no longer get daily emails, tweets, and have access to data online. Current premium customers are not affected at all. We are doing our best to keep your costs as low as possible – and have huge releases coming out over the coming months, a big one in two days!
We know that for many of our customers this will be a disappointing change. And on a personal note, I am very sorry as I had promised to keep your data free. But we are confident that you will love the features that our premium accounts offer and are introducing. Our team has put a ton of work into making sure that our customers get a ton of value out of our premium offering.
We sincerely hope that you will continue on as a paid customer. And for those who will not be continuing on as paid customers, we sincerely thank you for coming with us on our journey and hope that you have gotten a great deal of value from the SumAll platform.
We will be following up this blog post with a Q and A that will address specific questions about the changes. In addition you can reach out to me directly, email@example.com or our team firstname.lastname@example.com with any questions that you may have.
Our apologies and much love!
Dane and the team at SumAll

After the holiday break, work has resumed inside the Domus Aurea and particularly in Room 41, which as we have said is a representative example of the problems that we face inside the rooms. In agreement with the Works Management, we have carried out preliminary first aid to secure and conserve the painted plaster of the vault, in danger of collapse.
The room presents numerous cracks and serious detachments of the preparatory layers affecting 70% of the surfaces starting from the impost of the vault.
Much of the painted surface of the vault, and of the walls, is affected by efflorescences, subflorescences and concretions of varying thickness and consistency.
The north-west area presents significant deformation of the plasterwork with extensive cracks running through it.
The east side is now lacking most of the plaster on the vault; a limited portion is preserved but in danger of collapse.
Protective coatings have been applied with a temporary adhesive (Cyclododecane Spray in direct contact with the paint layer) and an acrylic adhesive in solution (Paraloid B72 15%) with cotton wool. These protective coatings should be considered temporary and will be removed (or if necessary replaced) as soon as possible since the climatic conditions of the room may in time increase the biological deterioration of the surfaces.
Considering the specific thermohygrometric conditions of the room, with a high degree of humidity, the detachments of plaster have been propped using inert materials such as Plexiglas and steel.
This first aid operation should be considered a preliminary phase of actual consolidation of the wall structure and securing of the plasterwork, the stucco elements in relief and the paint layer.
The intervention was carried out by ATI DOMUS AUREA to secure the decorated surfaces and by LANDE s.r.l. for structures. The Works Manager was the architect M.M. Scoccianti, assisted by the archaeologist I. Sciortino, and the conservator M. Bartoli, from the Soprintendenza's internal staff.

So what's Tony Stark and Pepper Potts been up to since all that hubbub in New York ala "The Avengers"? Well this late clip from Shane Black's "Iron Man 3" fills you in. Basically, ol Tony hasn't been sleeping much, and we learn why.
Hint: it's the blonde.
Marvel Studios' "Iron Man 3" pits brash-but-brilliant industrialist Tony Stark/Iron Man against an enemy whose reach knows no bounds. When Stark finds his personal world destroyed at his enemy's hands, he embarks on a harrowing quest to find those responsible. This journey, at every turn, will test his mettle. With his back against the wall, Stark is left to survive by his own devices, relying on his ingenuity and instincts to protect those closest to him. As he fights his way back, Stark discovers the answer to the question that has secretly haunted him: does the man make the suit or does the suit make the man?
"Iron Man 3" stars Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Ben Kingsley, Guy Pearce, Rebecca Hall, James Dale Badge, Jon Favreau, and Ashley Hamilton.

Audio over HDMI offers no particular benefits, for stereo playback. USB might be useful, but apparently the ADMs with USB didn't sell all that well. Perhaps things have changed and there is now a greater demand.
Well given that for a lot of people the TV is their 'media hub' and most TVs don't have analogue outs, some don't have optical or some won't pass through audio from connected sources, I can see value in HDMI for stereo use
I can see HDMI connectivity being used in a wireless AV receiver setup though for multi channel use. Something like the Xeo transmitter for example.
Wireless multichannel Actives with HDMI connectivity is already being done by Aperion in the US

Economic and Political Foundations of State-making in Africa: understanding state reconstruction
Working Paper No : 3 (series 2)
Author(s) : Gabi Hesselbein, Frederick Golooba-Mutebi, James Putzel
Date : July 2006
[PDF - English]| [PDF - French|]
The working paper examines the processes and challenges of state reconstruction in Uganda and Rwanda and the challenge posed in the Democratic Republic of Congo in light of the experience of the stable state in Tanzania. The comparative study found clear-cut evidence that inclusiveness is not equivalent to formal democracy. Competitive party politics and liberal democratic arrangements are particularly difficult to implement in contexts of institutional multiplicity, where rival rule systems serve as the basis to organise within formal democratic procedures. The experiences of state building through limited competitive politics in Tanzania, Uganda and Rwanda, not to mention the historical experience of almost every one of the world�s now developed countries, cast considerable doubt over propositions that state-making can best be pursued through modern liberal democracy.

The Stranger Suggests "Bullshit-Free Techno & House"Tuesday, June 24th, 2014
We're of course honored to have our little record release party featured in The Stranger's coveted "Suggests" section. Many thanks for the local publication for the love. Hope to see you out this Friday June 27th!
Read on or click here to check it out…
What: House music that really means it and nothing else
Where: Kremwerk
Who suggests it: Emily Nokes
Why: Since our resident electronic-music expert Dave Segal is on vacation, I thought I would step into his vegan running shoes for the week and get my zeros and ones on. I remember he once described Deepchild as "bullshit-free techno and house," and though my ears are not expert in this genre, the glowing warm space sounds oozing through a shimmering matrix of rhythm do, indeed, seem free of bullshit. Tonight celebrates the release of Seattle producer Codebase's Down for the Count (on local label Shameless Audio), on which Deepchild, Distal, Aur0ra, and Adlib are featured. Plus, doesn't Kremwerk seem neat? (Kremwerk, 1809 Minor Ave, kremwerk.com, 9 pm, 21+)

I was fortunate to have caught this film at the most recent Tribeca Film festival. The movie chronicles the efforts of a group of volunteer's who gathered in Sri Lanka after the devastating tsunami of 2004. The story is delicately woven in an intricate patchwork of at once gut-wrenching and uplifting moments. I must say that I was taken aback by the altruistic effort of the group of volunteers that were featured in this documentary. This film is a testament to the strength and kindness of the human spirit but more importantly inspires the viewer to action. The film inspired me personally to participate humanitarian efforts both in North America and abroad. Bravo!
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
I worked as one of the filmmaker coordinators for The 2007 Tribeca Film
Festival and I had the pleasure of working with the director and
producers, assisting them in making the rounds with this great
documentary. I can't say enough good things about what these people so
selflessly did to help the Sri Lankan people after the Tsunami and I
can't begin to tell you how moved I was by the film. In the last
several years we have been inundated by dark, desperate films about war
and strife and I have to admit that it was such a relief to spend two
hours watching this small group of volunteers put a little hope and
light in to the world of these people. After the first screening the
sold out audience didn't leave their spots after the standing ovation
because I think we were all a little disappointed that we would have to
step out in to our world and say goodbye to this group of volunteers
that we all wished we had had the courage to join! I saw the film three
times more over the next week and the audiences reactions only got
better as the buzz grew.
I got word that The Third Wave will be hitting theaters this Spring and when it does I highly recommend you check it out. You'll be very happy you did. Trust me, watching this amazing, at some times heartbreaking journey will make you question what you are doing to contribute to the world. When I spoke to the director, Ms. Thompson, about this she simply said we all have our way of contributing. I just couldn't shake the feeling that I may lack the heart and courage that she and her fellow volunteers had to drop it all and help spread some much needed love.
Hats off to you, Alison, and the rest of your crew for sharing your work with us. The audiences from Tribeca know what we are in store for in the months to come.
Dan Fountain
I have seen "The Third Wave" twice and I will see it over and over again. In addition to its qualities as a movie -- and there are many throughout -- it contains a very powerful message that by the end packs an emotional wallop. "Everyone is needed," indeed, when it comes to volunteering, to help people who cannot help themselves because of profound misfortune and tragedy. In the case of the village of Peraliya in Sri Lanka portrayed in "The Third Wave," it was the devastating tsunami of December 26, 2004 that obliterated the coastal region of that country. There is no hiding the grief, but the film also is a story of hope and love. Still, it is very important for potential viewers to understand that this is a damn fine movie and the message is weaved into it. There is not a soapbox in "The Third Wave"; there is an intense film-watching experience and along the way you have a better recognition of what "love thy neighbor" means.
In giving "The Third Wave" my highest rating, I have no problem in disclosing that I am friends with its remarkable director Alison Thompson. Did our friendship influence my great admiration for her documentary? Not at all. In fact, we became friends after I was awed by the movie at the Tribeca Film Festival and wanted very much to interview Thompson to post on a web site so that other people would know about "The Third Wave." All filmmakers and every fan of documentaries will be excited by the guerrilla, fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants camera-work--where the camera seems to be exploring and documenting on its own, and anything or anybody can venture in front of the lens. But much more significant is that every movie fan, every human being, will experience an immense emotional impact watching Thompson and her volunteer cohorts, in an exotic far-away land, try to lessen heartbroken tragedy with kindness, selflessness, and good will--and to see the broken people they're trying to help love them back or--in scenes with a "Lord of the Flies" feel-turn against them. While the money we sent to Indonesia after the tsunami got "lost" in transit, the volunteers sent themselves to nurse (Alison set up a hospital and in her spare time collected the bones of tsunami victims) and rebuild and teach. These humanitarians are fascinating, as are the people they encounter in Piralya, the village they bring back to life in Sri Lanka. Talk about role models and saints, forget the heroes played by actors in fictional epics in theaters and watch this little movie for the real deal, a four-person emergency peace corps who went to the disaster area for two weeks and stayed for two extraordinary years--the least we viewers can do is watch Alison Thompson and company work miracles for not even two hours.

I seen this film at the film festival and it really moved me, I loved it. Some parts even made me cry because it was so sad. A lot of people died and thanks to the producer and crew who chipped in and helped the people, a lot of lives were saved. Its amazing how far people will go to help other people. I loved it so much that I saw it twice. If you haven't seen this movie yet I highly recommend it but I recommend that you bring tissue because I am sure that you will shed a tear for these poor people struck by a disaster. This film will bring back your faith in humanity. I have seen some of the other works of Alison Thomson and she is amazing. MURRAYVIDEO
Where did all the billions in aid go? Not to this village. This is a wonderful raw and honest film that will make you laugh and cry. The inspiring efforts of this team of people that were thrust together by their common desire to be on the ground helping make you want to clap out loud or pack your bags. The cultural insight is captivating as these people struggle to repair their lives with the help of Alison, Oscar and the team. While the village parents squabble over petty matters the children start to shine becoming a major part of the film. This is the film about the people that actually did get out of their chair and do something. You will feel inspired.
I was dragged along to the Tribeca film festival by a client and ended up happy about that as almost immediately I was sitting at the edge of my seat. The film is a riveting story about 4 unlikely volunteers who have no money or experience but end up doing it all by using common sense and love. It affected me so much I had to go and have a shot of whiskey after the film. When the movie ended people stood up to clap and they didn't stop and then they got up 3 more times. I felt like I was at a rock concert and was wondering when was the last time or anytime I had done that in a movie? After an hour of 'Question and Answers' people still had questions but management threw us out ready for the next film. I think I will try and go and see more Independent movies and I think I will start trying to help more. Thanks Spurlock good eye for this one!
Wow! It's not often that you come across a film like this. You know the ones where you walk away stunned and full of emotion then it hits you deeper than you ever thought possible because the film was based on real life events? From the start right through to the finish this film is full of colourful characters and heartfelt stories. This film gently captures the events of a small coastal village just after the Tsnumai hit. It follows through to the moments when the village is finally self sufficient again. I won't spoil the fun but the stories of the village people and the international volunteers are priceless. Totally recommend seeing this one!
I read about this film in the New York Times Tribeca pull out and tried to get tickets but every show was sold out. I finally got three to the last screening and was very happy I made the effort. The film had a deep impact on my two other friends and we talked about it for 3 hours over dinner that night and then later for a few more hours!! It stays in your head. The message really got to us and made us think about helping more in the future. We are so stuck in our busy lives idolizing actors and sportsmen as our heroes and they aren't really real heroes. The real ones are in docs like this. After the screening the filmmakers talked in a humble way of spreading the volunteer message to the world and how everyone was needed to help including bankers, lawyers and actors and singers and musicians and every type of job. Kudos to Morgan Spurlock for finding this gem, he was already a hero of mine for helping me lose 55 pounds due to eating junk food!
Am not sure what to write. I saw the film in L.A festival with friends and was not expecting anything but some entertainment. I got more. I feel like this film has led me to do something good for other people. I'm not sure what yet. It took a few days for the film to sink into my head and heart and then I started calling everyone talking about it with them. Then they all wanted to see it. I recommend this film to anyone of any age. And after you see it take your kids they will learn many of life's valuable lessons from it. I want to see it again but i'm not sure where. The people in it are average people like us all who end up going off to help in a big way out of a simple thought but in this we see they are real humble heroes unlike the ones we make up and idolize in movies like Spiderman but real heroes.

The Texas A&M football team's home has a new look for the 2014 season.
The Bright Complex is being renovated as part of a $20.8 million project, and $16.8 million of that budget went toward the team areas alone. The school updated 36,000 square feet to make the complex the most advanced football training facility at the college level.
The Aggies' home turf, Kyle Field, also is undergoing $450 million worth of renovations that are expected to be completed in 2015.
While the Aggies' home has a lot of cool new features, the most noticeable are the LED screens on the walls. They're everywhere.

It's not too often that you get to spend your afternoon with one of your acting heroes let alone two! Today however was a different day as we were lucky enough to attend the UK Press Conference for Sylvester Stallone and Robert De Niro's new movie, Grudge Match. The acting legends were joined by multiple British Boxing champions including Nicolas Adams who won gold at the 2012 Olympics and can be see with (and owning!) the 2 cast members in the photo above!
Throughout the interview (and the film for that matter), there are constant references to the two movies for which make Grudge Match so poignant – Raging Bull and the Rocky movies. The pair talk about how this new movie differs to how they made the previous films, how they found the training regime and some of the difficulties being 60+ brings to making a movie of this scale with this subject matter.
Grudge Match hits UK cinemas 24th January and we caught up with the duo in LA late last year to discuss their latest film along with their to co-stars Alan Arkin and Kim Basinger. Those interviews will go live in the next couple of weeks nearer the release of the movie, but for now, we give you the Grudge Match UK Press Conference in full.
Here's our photos from the Photocall

Chinese officials and businessmen have spent billions on properties in elite pockets of London, New York, and Los Angeles. Beijing is now tracking them down.
Yesterday's incident near the iconic square would mark the latest turn in the strained relationship between the ethnic group, who hail from China's Xinjiang Province, and the Beijing government.
Electronic bicycles—ubiquitous in Chinese cities—are widely banned in many American towns. Advocates are hoping for this to change.
In a 1924 letter, Chinese political leader Sun Yatsen invited the automobile mogul to his country, urging him to help create "a new industrial system."
As the U.S. government shutdown continues, Beijing is losing patience with American global leadership.
The practice of buying apartments for lovers—common among wealthy men—may have serious consequences for China's economy.
FreeWeibo has launched a service allowing anyone to read censored Sina Weibo tweets—something it hopes won't be necessary in the future.
Throughout the rest of the country, the long-term bans on the popular social media sites will remain in place.
Once little known, Fu Zhenghua has detained or arrested several well-known Internet commentators in recent weeks.
As investigations of the politician mount, another major legal case could be around the corner.
From strip-teasing supporters to fake Instagram photos, it's hard to predict what will happen next.
Beijing's reaction to Moscow's decision to offer the whistleblower immunity shows just how warm relations have grown between the two powers.
As tourism from China increases, citizens of the Hermit Kingdom ask to be treated with more respect.
In an effort to limit delays, the country has introduced "unrestricted takeoffs". But the strategy has just shifted waiting times from the ground to the skies.
The iconic animals are a big business in China. But is this increased attention harming conservation efforts?
Peter Humphrey's detention in connection with a GlaxoSmithKline bribery scheme has unsettled consultants who once flocked to the country.

State's Toxic Avenger, 'Mr. Clean,' steps down
|By Dave Dempsey
The man who oversaw over $1 billion of publicly funded toxic cleanups in Michigan left the state service two weeks ago. He's a guy most people have never heard of, but should.
This practice, poor handling and storage of chemicals and petroleum, and midnight dumping led to at least one officially declared toxic emergency and, over time, more than 10,000 contamination sites across Michigan. While they are largely forgotten now, Michigan media and the public 25 years ago were appalled by and fixated on some of the worst sites:
• At the Berlin and Farro landfill near Flint, lethal chemicals were poured into a giant hole in the ground, causing fires, sickening fumes, and ultimately a fullfledged evacuation.
No one will know how many Michiganders suffered the health effects of exposure to toxic dumps and other waste sites. In fact, industry scientists and mouthpieces often contend there is no proof that "even one person" died from such exposure. Given the difficulty of tying any one chemical exposure to any one long-lived person's mortality, that is both correct and not the point. The hidden drama is that thousands of us have probably experienced subtle effects — disruption of our immune systems, problems with childhood brain development, and others.
(Dave Dempsey advised Gov. James Blanchard on environmental policy from 1983 to 1989. He is author of a book on Michigan's conservation history and is communications director for the nonprofit organization Conservation Minnesota.)

Oh. Em. Gee. Here's Simon Cowell warning Demi Lovato to stay away from Niall Horan! He grills his fellow fiesty X Factor judge about Niall as if the One Directioner was his only son!
"Keep away from him. He's pure." warns Simon, after Demi casually remarks, over a spot of tea, that Niall said "Hi."
"Excuse ME!" reacts Demi.
"Have you kissed him?" grills Simon.
"Look at me…Why are you smiling?" says Simon, a little paranoid.
"Because it's a weird question!" Demi shoots back, "Stop it!"
"Don't worry," Simon says before they part. "This won't be seen. Much."
I lurve Demi!

Measuring happiness is tricky; you may as well try to catch a butterfly with a hula-hoop.
Yet wellbeing is being mooted as a new currency to be assessed in international league tables alongside gross domestic product. According to Unicef, the Scandinavians have got things sussed when it comes to happiness. If they are in the premier league of parenting, then we are in division two. So I want to find out why the Danes and their children are so darned happy.
After a short flight across the North Sea and a swift train journey my nine-year-old son, Ruairidh, and I find ourselves in the middle of Copenhagen. There are bicycles everywhere. There are free city bikes for borrowing and sleeker models for hire. Our first lesson is that jay walkers take their lives in their hands. You have to look out for bicycles as much as you do for cars.
Loading article content
We settle into our chic boutique hotel, the Square, and survey the city. Copenhagen has a pleasing skyline, largely comprised of solid stone buildings adorned with the occasional decorative dome or spire. It was constructed over centuries, utilising the proceeds from its position as a trading nation and even its modern buildings reflect a concern for quality and aesthetics. Such devotion to quality comes at a price. Denmark is not cheap but with judicious planning and by investing in a Copenhagen card, an enjoyable experience is within the scope of most budgets. The card costs around £50 for three days and entitles you to free transport. It also gets you into 60 attractions. (Children don't have to pay for transport and are free in many museums.)
We make the pilgrimage to Tivoli Gardens. Established in 1843, the pleasure garden is an elegant version of the theme parks which now proliferate. We enter a world of trees, flowers and illuminated water features with fair ground rides ranging from the old-fashioned merry-go-round to knuckle-biting opportunities.
There are plenty of happy kids but a lot of smiling adults too; some adults do not have children with them but they are laughing as they jump on and off rides. It is only day one and we feel we may have discovered two of the rules of happiness - cycle everywhere and maintain a life-long capacity to play.
On day two as we go to the National Museum, we see nine toddlers accompanied by four adults, two of whom are men. Each sports a luminous yellow vest so we deduce that this is a pre-school group. In Scotland those who fix cars get paid more than those who look after kids. Here in this crocodile of little ones a different picture is painted and it suggests that there is greater equality between men, women, and children.
At the museum, Ruairidh dresses up in Viking clothing and clambers into a long ship and fences with wooden swords. On Sunday we visit a science centre called the Experimentarium. Tickets for one adult and one child total £32 but the cost does not seem to impact on the venue's popularity. Perhaps high wages are another ingredient, although equality of wealth is probably key.
While Ruaridh explores, I look at parents. Mobile phones are nowhere to be seen. Everybody is too involved to bother with distracting personal gadgets. Adults and children enjoy each others' company. Child-care provision is high quality and highly subsidised, so most men and women work full time but family time is valued so the working day is short and free time is a time for togetherness.
So far so inspiring, but now it's time to check out how the Danes deal with rebels. We take a bus to Christiana, a former army barracks which was occupied by a group of homeless youths in 1971 as a commune.
We walk through a graffiti splattered alley and find ourselves breathing in pungent, herbal smoke. Cannabis is being sold and there are signs cursing the police.
This is all too much for Ruairidh. Nine-year-olds tend to be conservative, so we leave to find more conventional attractions.
Until now the authorities have put up with the hippies but its future may be in doubt as right-wing populists are on the march. What happens will be a test as to how progressive Danish society is.
I would like to revisit this city on my own. A less child-centred trip would free me to go back to Christiana to see if mainstream society is truly happy; happy enough to tolerate those who are not like them.

TAMPA — Berkeley Prep dominated Golden Gate 42-7 Friday to stay undefeated on the season.
Behind a strong rushing attack by senior Nelson Agholor, the game seemed to be over in the first half. With the Buccaneers taking a 42-0 lead into halftime, Agholor shined as he rushed for 212 yards and four touchdowns on 11 carries.
"I thought I played well tonight but I give a lot of the credit to our offensive line," Agholor said. "They played like veterans tonight for such a young line and all year they have been so helpful for not only me but our team as a whole."
The Bucs defense was stellar, giving up only 10 passing yards while recording two interceptions. One interception came late in the second quarter as cornerback Vic Pellegrino returned the pick for a 35-yard touchdown.
Wide receiver Reggie Barnes also performed well, catching three passes for 79 yards and a TD..

Matt Damon And Jude Law's New Film And Jude's Japan Premiere
There are some more details out on Steven Soderbergh's film Contagion which reunites The Talented Mr. Ripley stars Matt Damon and Jude Law. The film is about the threat of deadly disease and utilizes multiple plot lines as Soderbergh did in Traffic. Soderbergh and Damon previously collaborated on Ocean's Eleven franchise and The Informant.
Here's Jude Law earlier today at the Tokyo premiere for his film Sherlock Holmes which opens in Japan on March 12. Although is it earlier today with the time difference or is it yesterday…? I'm digging the jacket, but wish he had broken up the look with some different colored pants. This premiere he is sans Guy Ritchie arm candy, who I think he only took to make himself look less balding. Personally, I think he's loosing his hair rather gracefully. I imagine Sienna Miller thinks so too.

NBC Sports and Churchill Downs have reached an agreement in principle to keep the Kentucky Derby on the broadcast network through 2015. The deal also includes rights to the Kentucky Oaks, which is held the Friday before the Derby.
Terms of the agreement, including the price paid, were not disclosed, but sports Business Daily reports that the deal is worth around $5 million a year.
"I don't think America truly moves to springtime until the first Saturday in May and I am delighted that we will be bringing this iconic American event to homes across America for five more years," said Dick Ebersol, chairman of NBC Sports & Olympics in a statement. "We're excited to extend our relationship with the Derby and our business partnership with Churchill Downs, a partnership that is one of the finest examples of two organizations coming together to build an event.
More information in the press release after the jump.
CHURCHILL DOWNS AND NBC SPORTS RENEW KENTUCKY DERBY AGREEMENTNEW YORK – October 7, 2010 – Churchill Downs Incorporated (CDI) and NBC Sports have reached a five-year agreement in principle extending the network's exclusive rights to the Kentucky Derby through 2015. The announcement was made today by Bob Evans, President and CEO, Churchill Downs Incorporated and Dick Ebersol, Chairman, NBC Universal Sports & Olympics. The new agreement extends the partnership, which began in 2001. The agreement also includes rights to the Kentucky Oaks and Derby and Oaks day programming, including coverage of the Kentucky Derby Red Carpet. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
"Our approach of showcasing four key elements surrounding the race – food, fashion, party and purpose – has elevated the Kentucky Derby from simply an iconic sporting event to a transcendent cultural experience," Evans said. "Together, NBC and Churchill Downs have changed the presentation of horse racing on TV, and it paid off earlier this year with 16.5 million viewers. We're excited to continue our relationship and build upon the momentum we've created over the past several years. NBC's combination of world-class sports programming and a spectrum of news and entertainment assets make it an ideal partnership for Churchill Downs."
"I don't think America truly moves to springtime until the first Saturday in May and I am delighted that we will be bringing this iconic American event to homes across America for five more years," Ebersol said. "We're excited to extend our relationship with the Derby and our business partnership with Churchill Downs, a partnership that is one of the finest examples of two organizations coming together to build an event. The extraordinary growth the Derby has experienced in recent years is a testament to the vision of Bob Evans and his team at Churchill Downs who have worked so closely with Ken Schanzer and Mike McCarley at NBC Sports – I thank and congratulate them on creating a successful partnership."
CHURCHILL DOWNS AND NBC SPORTS 'BIG EVENT STRATEGY' DRIVES RECORD VIEWERSHIP: In the 10 years that CDI and NBC Sports have been in business together, the Kentucky Derby is now seen by 7.4 million more viewers than the last Kentucky Derby broadcast by ABC in 2000 (16.5 million vs. 9.1 million, up 51 percent).
The shared vision of Churchill Downs and NBC Sports' successful 'Big Event Strategy' to assemble the broadest possible audience led to the 2010 Kentucky Derby being the most-watched Kentucky Derby in 21 years, in addition to the year prior which was the most-watched Derby in 20 years. Last year's Kentucky Derby averaged 16.5 million viewers, the most watched Kentucky Derby since 1989 when Sunday Silence won the Derby (18.5 million).
The Kentucky Oaks, which aired on NBC Universal-owned Bravo the last two years, saw a dramatic shift in its viewership.The average age of the viewer dropped by nearly a decade (58.1 on ESPN to 49.1 on Bravo) and the male-female audience skew was much closer to the audience delivery for the Kentucky Derby.
The Kentucky Derby stands as America's oldest continuously held major sporting event; the 137th Run for the Roses is Saturday, May 7, 2011.
"The Greatest Two Minutes in Sports has morphed into the Greatest Two Days in Sports Marketing…nearly every NBC property is involved."
– Louisville Journal Courier
"NBC's Kentucky Derby coverage represents a triumph of packaging. It transforms a sports event that lasts about two minutes into a three-hour TV show and creates story lines around athletes who literally aren't quotable…and it scores at the TV box office."
– USA Today
"NBC's broadcast had a little something for everyone, from the diehard horse racing enthusiast to the casual observer who tunes in just to watch celebrities in silly hats sipping mint juleps. There were compelling features on owners, horses and jockeys that were interesting, informative and entertaining, even to those who watch this one horse race a year. Host Bob Costas did his usual masterful job running things, while reporter Donna Brothers was the star of the broadcast with her reports, mostly from horseback. You didn't have to be a horse racing fan to thoroughly enjoy NBC's Kentucky Derby coverage and, when you think about it, that's the sign of a tremendous production."
– St. Petersburg Times

Forgive Tom Izzo if he has few words to explain how he feels. After all, it's hard to speak when you're holding your breath.
Izzo and all Spartans fans surely had a restless night and will have many anxious hours Wednesday as they await MRI results on the left knee of All-American candidate Draymond Green.
Green -- a 6-6 senior forward who Izzo has often called "the perfect Spartan" -- left Illinois' Assembly Hall Tuesday night on crutches with his left knee heavily iced. Doctors will perform more tests on him Wednesday in East Lansing, Mich.
"I have no idea how he is," Izzo said after the game. "Not even sure what it is. I'm not sure he is or the doctors are."
Green refused to talk after the painful 42-41 loss at Illinois. He later wrote on Twitter, "Thanks for everyone's thoughts and prayers."
Limited to 16 minutes because of foul trouble, in part because of a questionable technical foul called by referee Jim Burr with 10:56 remaining in the first half, Green scored only five points and grabbed eight rebounds while trying to play through a bout with the flu.
"Draymond had been sicker than a dog ... and then he let it all get to him," Izzo said.
With 4:09 left in the game and Michigan State nursing a three-point lead, Green was working around a screen when he crumpled to the floor.
"Draymond never lays on the court when he gets hurt," Appling said. "There was concern when I saw him do that."
After a few moments, Green hopped the length of the court to the end of the Michigan State bench. Team doctor Jeff Kovan examined Green and thought the injury minor, telling ESPN that it was "just a tweak" and that he could return to the game.
However, Green never could put any weight on the knee the rest of the night and watched as Keith Appling's contested shot in the lane rimmed out at the buzzer and Michigan State lost at Illinois.
"I thought we cracked for the first time, and I didn't think we handled adversity well at all," Izzo said. "My two best players had their worst games."
The defeat dropped the 10th-ranked Spartans to 17-5 overall and 6-3 in the Big Ten. Still, the bigger concern is Wednesday's tests on Green's knee. Michigan State's Final Four season could very well rest on the results.

Google speaks out on mobile SEO best practice
Mobile SEO from the horse's mouth
Google has revealed what it considers best practice for optimising mobile websites.
Pierre Farr, Google's Webmaster Trends Analyst, published an official Webmaster Central Blog post yesterday entitled 'Recommendations for building smartphone-optimised websites'. He then took to the stage at the annual Search Marketing Expo (SMX) Advanced event in Seattle to discuss his advice in more detail.
Farr stated that Google has been "working hard on improving Google's support for smartphone-optimised content"; this included the launch of a Googlebot that identifies and crawls mobile content in December 2011. However, this is the first direct advice from Google since early 2011. Some of yesterday's mobile SEO recommendations include:
- Responsive web design is Google's preferred configuration. This means the same URL, code and content appears within a fluid grid using CSS3, dynamically altering its size and layout depending on the user's device or browser.
- This single URL and site content makes it easier for Google's algorithms to index and rank a site, as the Googlebot won't have to rate two separate sites. This is also good news for SEO campaigns as the same link and content optimisation can affect both versions.
- In situations where responsive web design is not appropriate, Google also supports websites that serve different HTML to different user agents, whether with one or more URLs. However, it transpires that it is essential to use the Vary HTTP header to tell the Googlebot that this is the case.
More hints from Google
Also speaking at SMX Advanced was Matt Cutts, Distinguished Engineer at Google, who appeared on stage surrounded by penguin cuddly toys. He stated categorically that the Penguin algorithm update is a collection of signals and not a manual penalty, designed to tackle low-quality content. In reference to Panda and Penguin, Cutts also said:
"It's a war on spam. If you go on the black hat forums, there's a lot of people asking: How do I fake sincerity? How do I fake being awesome? Why not just be sincere and be awesome? We're trying to stop spam so people can compete on a level playing field."
Adrian Mursec, senior developer at theEword, said: "The value of these briefings from Google should not be underestimated, especially for businesses looking for ways to improve their search rankings. When you're managing search marketing campaigns, either in-house or through an agency, advice straight from the horse's mouth can be hugely beneficial. Responsive web design is increasingly viewed as a good, SEO-friendly way to produce mobile websites, but it is reassuring for businesses who do serve a separate, mobile-optimised site to smartphone users to hear that they won't be penalised."

European folklore includes a story called "Stone Soup," in which a wanderer creates meals for entire villages using basic ingredients that everybody possesses. The fable provides artistic inspiration for Daniel Horsey, Eric Mather and Robin Davies, who, as the improv collective Stone Soup, try to create something new -- and, they hope, wonderful -- out of random ingredients. The three occupy their daylight hours with running a small business, teaching math and "being British," respectively. But as the Sunday sun sets, their different sides emerge like those of a twisting transformer toy.
Don't laugh: Their focus is on drama, not comedy. The men met while attending some acting workshops together and agreed that the Denver improv scene was lacking. "I didn't even know there was such a thing as dramatic improv until I looked at the tapes of us trying to do comedy," says Horsey. "We just want to draw a serious theater crowd."
Serious theatergoers may have to suspend their pretentions, however, and just grab one of the twenty or so chairs -- some are orange and look like remnants from a Seventies junior high school; others appear to be castaways from corporate offices -- that make up the audience seating area at the Redshift Art Gallery. The set is composed entirely of one purple sheet, and the only prop is a set of folding chairs. Around 7:30, or when enough people have arrived, Horsey asks a member of the audience to submit a random word. At one recent performance, someone calls out "painting" (probably because it's the most visible item in the room). The trio then begins an Eleanor Rigby-like story of a young man who works in a pub and is required to clean beer and popcorn off the floor. A simple tale begins to reveal more and more as Horsey carefully paints a haunting picture of this manic-depressive trying to overcome the hopelessness of his life. Eventually, they incorporate the word "painting."
Stone Soup, Sundays, 7:30 p.m. Redshift Gallery, 2201 Larimer, $5, 303-296-6393
"All theater is really unscripted, because there's a writer who improvises it in his head and then writes it down," Davies says. "Then he passes it up to the middlemen, who are the actors, and then they do it. We're just doing all of that in front of you. If someone in the audience wrote all of that down, it would be a play, but we like the idea of doing it and then it's done."

Act Two continues with the same tone. Horsey plays an alcoholic who has just been fired from yet another job and is over at a friend's house trying to keep his sanity. Mather assumes the role of a girl who is pursued, quite against her will, by the drunk. All of this may seem too gloomy -- but that just makes the comedic blows, which the actors use sparingly, that much more funny. "When you see the actors on stage, in order for their material to work, they must really appear to be scared or surprised, whereas with us, when we look surprised, it's partly because we really are," says Horsey. "Sometimes I think, 'Whoa, what the hell was that?'"
"The show has to constantly be on the edge," adds Davies. "The worst moment is when I'm on stage and I feel complacent, like I know what's going to happen. But then one of these two comes on and does something completely different."
During the month of November, the men of Stone Soup will donate all of their proceeds to the Rape Assistance and Awareness Program, as part of an "Improv Against Hate" campaign started by the New York-based improv company The Brothers Grinn.

Double TroubleOne of my sons recently got a cool gig, playing music for a production of "Guys and Dolls." Four performances, great pay. One of these shows was Monday night. About 3 pm, he had an "oh ****!" moment. He has a wind ensemble concert that night too! When you are a music performance major, your profs expect you to be there. Period. With two shows, just hours away, he had to think hard and fast.
Lightbulb Moment: "All my parts for wind ensemble are on the clarinet. My brother played clarinet in highschool! I'm gonna call him"
The fun twist here...they are identical twins.
His brother said he would help him out...for $50. hahahaha! He got the tux, the clarinet, the cash and went to the show.
No one suspected a thing. The conductor even congratulated him on a wonderful performance.
My son did confess to his prof the next day. He said he should very angry, but the plan was just too brilliant.
That's my boy!
Lilt 46-50 24 Responses 5 Mar 25, 2011
Hehehe. And he confessed to the professor and it all ended happily ever after. An excellent anecdote. Make them do more of this stuff so we can hear about it!
How often does having an identical twin come in handy?
Resourcefulness and honesty are fine attributes for a youg man to have. Hard working, and talented aren't all that bad either.

As a mother, it must be a joy to see the one support the other in a time of need.

Your pride is well justified.
That's a great story!

Why did he bother to tell the prof?
I just read the story to my husband. Brilliant.
Wonderful Lilt! *grin*
Excellent! Twin power!

Spreading Breast Cancer Awareness Beyond October
Lynchburg, VA- Everyone from NFL players to firefighters are sporting pink in honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Those in the health profession also want this color to motivate people to take control of their health.
Doctors say timing and prevention is crucial to surviving breast cancer. Len, it can mean the difference in your survival. ABC 13 News' Lauren Compton shared her own family history of cancer and how she is using that information to fight back against breast cancer.
Pink campaigns have made breast cancer a trendy and cute cause. But for many women the color pink is a reminder of when cancer was more than just a catchy cause but a threat.
"A lot of times when women hear the word cancer usually they don't hear anything else," said Kara Lamb, an oncology breast navigation nurse for Centra.
When Lauren Compton heard the word cancer, it was coming from her best friend, confidant and mother. Then breast cancer came for one of her biggest cheerleaders: her aunt. It's painful history but doctors say knowing your family history can be valuable.
"That will determine whether or not you start screening earlier or whether you need a more advanced type of screening," said Dr. Karl Biesemier, director of Centra Comprehensive Breast Cancer Program.
Lauren Compton's family history will mean she will start mammograms at 30 instead of the recommended 40 years of age. There has been a lot of mixed press about mammograms, but doctors still say they not only catch cancer early, but can increase your chances of survival.
"Patients that have their tumor detected by mammography have a much lower rate of recurrence, and of dying than women who don't find their tumor until it's palpable or they can feel it," said Dr. Biesemier.
If you are not of mammogram age, experts say there's power in the hands. Self-screening is how Lauren's mother first detected the lump in her breast. Lauren's mother Mignon Compton is now a five-year survivor. Lauren's aunt however lost her battle when the cancer spread to her lungs. It is because of women like her, experts say you should know your risks--and make sure other women know theirs.
"I think it's important for women to talk about it. Hold each other accountable ask your friends, mom, your siblings, 'Hey have you gotten your annual mammogram yet?" said Lamb.
The experts at Centra say don't let cost be the reason you delay getting screened. They have assistance programs, and support groups to help you.

First glock
Hay y'all I've been looking for a 9mm for a while as a range toy and as something the wife won't be afraid to shoot( heavy recoil) I was looking for a cz 75b or a sp01 but neither of my two local gun shops can get them in right now. Well I kind of blindly put a rock island 9mm in lay away. After doing some research over the last two weeks I don't have a real good warm fuzzy about the rock. I went in there today to pay on my lay away and was talking to the salesman and he looked one more time on the computer for a cz and no luck. I explained to him why I was leaning away from the rock and why I wanted the cz just the fact that they fire every time without worry and he suggested a glock 19. I've fired a 357 sig not sure which glock that is but it felt good the trigger on his was a little weird but it shot good. I liked the 19 love the size he put three different sizes out for me to look at. the 19 felt like it had enough weight it should be light on recoil and a good size for carry if I chose to swap it out for my airweight. I've watched the shows and read the reviews that glocks are pretty much indestructible. And the after market looks huge if a want to get stuff for it and holsters seem to be everywhere for them. I really feel good about this gun quite a bit more than the rock. Is there any thing I should know or any glitches that come with these that I should know about and also from what I understand there's not really much of a break in period with these are they pretty much load and go. Before any one tell me I need to shoot it and get comfortable with it I know and I plan on it I'm getting a decent little pill of ammo saved up and plan on shooting the snot out of it when she comes home lol. Just any info would be great.
Can't go wrong with a glock,and definitely can't go wrong with the 19.
Yea I feel much better about my decision
Buddy of mine been concealed carry for a while so I asked his opinion. He said Glock 19 or M&P 9mm. Did a lot of research on both. The Glock was easier to strip down. I liked the idea of no external safety on the Glock. Then I couldn't find one. One dealer promised 2 weeks then changed it to 6 months. I went to another and was put on list. He called 4 days later and told me to come get it.
My wife had problems moving the slide back, but she's shot it with no problem.
Ammo has been a problem but I was gone to Ireland for 8 days and I've been hearing it's starting to loosen up. Hope you enjoy your Glock as much as I do mine.
People have asked me why I went with Glock. I tell em when I went shopping for a bass boat, I wanted the best. Same with my pistol.
Yea that's what I want something that's gonna go bang every time the trigger is pulled. Weather people think there ugly or not haven't heard anyone say there unreliable. And yea the ammo thing is slacking off some I've found 500 rds in the last two weeks just local ( I refuse to pay the Internet price) even some federal at Walmart for 13 bucks a box. I forgot I was buying a glock and passed up the tula ammo for 10 bucks a box lol.
2 Attachment(s)
Cant go wrong with glock let alone the 19. By far my best handgun purchase
Attachment 100632
Attachment 100631
My first Glock I bought today. I got a 23 gen 4. I really enjoyed shooting it today. I can already tell I made a really sound investment.
I have a history with Glocks as a FFL II going back over 20 years. My Glock 20, over 20 years old, still going strong.
Mainly, the gun just works.
That's pretty sweet ar10 I'm just thinking my initials on the slide plate cover lol

What and Who Are Workaholics?This Research Paper What and Who Are Workaholics? and other 62,000+ term papers, college essay examples and free essays are available now on ReviewEssays.com
Autor: reviewessays • October 1, 2010 • Research Paper • 2,388 Words (10 Pages) • 3,305 Views
Why did I choose to write about workaholics? The main reason is that the general picture about these people is bad, but there are a lot of them around us and very often we admire them. They are doing exactly what they love - work - and they can never have enough of it. Although they spend most of their time working, surprisingly they are happy. They show so good results in what they do. But the consequences are great. Family life is disrupted, intellectual horizons narrow and the consequences to the workaholic's health are severe: fat, lack of exercise and stress. Why do people become workaholics? When a person becomes workaholic is there a way back? How should people around him act in order to keep both him and themselves happy? Lets start explaining what workaholics are, how they act and then we'll get answers to this questions.
The definition of workaholism from a dictionary would be someone who has a compulsion to work all time and a workaholic is someone who loves to work or who is addicted to work. How can this people work throughout the whole day and be happy and never tired knowing that they sleep only for 4-5 hours a day. Perhaps the main reason for this is that people evaluate themselves more on measurable things such as personal achievements and financial worth - not emotional wellness. People often tend to feel guilty if they are not constantly being productive, as they tend to consider relaxation a waste of precious time. They need work to feel good. Workaholics are people who put the work on first place. Usually they need to prove themselves to the their colleagues or their bosses so they would praise them. Sometimes workaholism occurs because the person works to avoid the pain. Workaholism is addiction and all addictions are in a way avoidance of pain. They work just to cover the pain and not deal with it. Some of the workaholics became what they are because of greed. They can never have enough so they want to work as much as possible. Sometimes the hard workers are being referred as workaholics. While hard workers are ready to work some extra time to finish a project or to meet a deadline, the workaholic uses all his extra time to work. Workaholics don't have hobbies except if they are related to the job such as golf games with business partners. Everybody thinks that the workaholics are over doing with their job and they think that they are never work enough.
How did this people get addicted to work? Nobody can tell exactly how but there is a theory that workaholism starts at really early stages of life. Marilyn Machlowitz says in her book Workaholics supports this theory and says that this whole process starts when children play games that are connected with real time jobs or they play games connected with getting money such as selling lemonade or old magazines. She also says that children of workaholics are about to become ones in their later life development. The addiction to the child of a workaholic is not passed actively. The workaholics don't tell their children to work or not to work a lot. The reason is that children often want to be as successful as their parents. Machlowitz later on in her book also says that some children think if they don't show the best results in school their parents will not love them and therefore start working more than they should. But however it is not only the childhood that makes people workaholics. Although it might be the best period to make person think like a workaholic, the adult phase of life is the most important. The most common target of workaholism is people that have high responsibility jobs. Their motivation is fear. Workaholics on high positions just hate to fail and feel inferior to all other workers that are bellow them. Therefore they are double-checking all possibilities that are available for a certain task that they are responsible for. But perhaps the most common reason for workaholism is fear of laziness. 1) Thomas Wolfe supports this idea in his "You can't go home again":
I've got an idea that a lot of the work in this world gets done by lazy people. That's the reason they work - because they're so lazy - It's this way: you work because you are not afraid to. You work
1) Robert D. Capalan "Effects of workload, role ambiguity and type A personality on depression, personality and heart rate" Journal of Applied Psychology, 60 (p.6)
because you have to drive yourself to such a fury to begin. That
part is just hell!!! It's so hard to get started that once you you're
afraid of slipping back. You'd rather do anything than go through that agony again - so you keep going till you couldn't stop even if you wanted to.... Then people say you're glutton for work, but it isn't so. It's just laziness - just plain, damned plain laziness, that's all.
At work they show themselves in full element. They work much more and lot faster and better than the others. Therefore they quickly climb high the hierarchy tree in a company. The workaholic works so fast so he often does thinks twice or what more often happens does thinks that he doesn't have to. "They contribute a lot for organization at some cost to their own mental and physical health". Being a boss is inadequate job for workaholic. He has problem dealing with people. As a boss, a workaholic requires his workers to work as hard as he does. When they are not doing what they are expected their right to make some decisions is denied. They tend to be critical for the co-workers. They always think that people are not trying hard to work and that are avoiding work all the time. When somebody has a day off because he is sick, a workaholic would say that he is magnifying the problem just not to work. They show little interest and great intolerance for the personal lives of the co-workers. They might say, "How's the family?" but they will not pay attention to the answer. They don't show any personal interest about their co-workers except if it's something related to their needs or demands. Marilyn Machlowitz in her "Workaholics" book tells us about one case like this. The secretary after five years at work decided that she wants to change her glasses, and use lens instead. When at work, her workaholic boss noticed that she doesn't have the glasses and said "How are you going to type for me without your glasses?". Workaholics work according

BARC to charge sheet three suspended technicians
July 10, 2004 00:05 IST
The Bhabha Atomic Research Centre will issue 'charge sheets' within a week to its three suspended technical employees, suspected to be involved in the radiation exposure case at its Waste Immobilisation Plant (WIP) in Tarapur, following a departmental inquiry against them.
Three employees of WIP were reportedly exposed to radiation from a small sample bottle containing a few drops of a radioactive liquid on April 17 during the second/third shifts.
"Since the matter is very important and of very serious nature, we are taking all precautions in framing charge sheets," BARC Controller Dr Gajanan Pungle told PTI in Mumbai on Friday.
"The three were called for the departmental inquiry on June 21 and an official letter of suspension was issued on June 18 by BARC," Pungle said.
Charge sheets are being framed against all of them as part of the departmental inquiry and once the charge sheets are issued, the corresponding disciplinary and appointing authorities will take up the matter for further action as per rules laid down by BARC, Pungle said.Atomic Energy Commission chairman Anil Kakodkar is supervising the inquiry.

THE parents of US rockers Red Hot Chili Peppers' guitarist Josh Klinghoffer learnt a dangerous lesson about northern Australia when they were rescued from a flooded causeway while holidaying in the Port Douglas region.
After saying goodbye to their famous son in Sydney, where he is on tour for the Big Day Out, Steven and Kathleen Klinghoffer flew to Cairns and hired a car for a scenic drive to Silky Oaks.
When the couple came across a flooded causeway on Tuesday, they attempted to cross it.
"Having gone through puddles before, I figured, 'if I just go slow I can get across'.
"The part I didn't know, which I learnt after, was that the road went deeper and deeper, a bit of a gully - what I considered a road, turned into a river," Mr Klinghoffer said.
"Once we hit that spot the car stalled, and we were trapped."
A local family came to the aid of the tourists, before the RACQ and an employee of Silky Oaks Lodge eventually came to help tow the car.
The Klinghoffers had managed to get out of the car while the water was still at their waists and carefully climb to safety.
"The car got totally submerged, we were right in the middle," Mr Klinghoffer said.
"We are very, very thankful to everybody and we learnt a lesson about the outback of Australia."

How Joe Walsh's Arrival Transformed the Eagles
When Joe Walsh joined the Eagles in December 1975, they were already a well-established band. But then again, he was also a well-established solo star.
Something clicked. Walsh helped restructure the Eagles, bringing a gritty rock edge to a group best known for laid-back, country-rock music. His first album with the Eagles, 1976's Hotel California, would become one of the best-selling in history. There was something fortuitous about it all.
"When Bernie [Leadon] decided that he just wasn't interested very much in continuing, Don [Henley] and Glenn [Frey] thought I would plug in really well with where the Eagles were eventually going to go," Walsh told Guitar World. "And at the time, I was going, 'Aw f–, it's time to do another solo album. Oh, s–. Anybody got any ideas?' You know? So, it all just kind of came together. I joined the Eagles, and the result, of course, was Hotel California."
In fact, as incompatible as the pairing may have seemed at first, Walsh didn't arrive out of the blue. He had actually shared a few concert bills with the Eagles, and they had the same manager in Irving Azoff. He'd previously gained some measure of fame as a founding member of the James Gang, a funky hard-rock trio that released three albums in a little more than a year and a half, highlighted by the radio favorite "Funk #49." Walsh then launched a solo career and released four albums before he joined the Eagles.
Unfortunately, even the quick success of a multi-platinum project like Hotel California couldn't steady the Eagles – and Walsh's appetite for destruction would prove difficult to quench, as well.
They'd take more than two years to complete a follow-up album before going on a long break in 1980, picking up the pieces in 1994 for reunion albums and tours. Along the way, Walsh kept a solo career going, releasing albums like Barnstorm, The Smoker You Drink, the Player You Get and But Seriously, Folks. He also kept up a party aesthetic that eventually became a larger issue, especially after the Eagles were grounded in the '80s.
"When we stopped, I was sad and didn't know what to do," Walsh told the Daily Mail. "So, I kept going. I became an alcoholic and dependent on drugs. I hit rock-bottom."
The Eagles' early '90s reunion – a blockbuster event winkingly titled the Hell Freezes Over tour – couldn't have arrived soon enough for the clean-and-sober Walsh. "He looked so bad," bandmate Timothy B. Schmit remembered. "I think the offer to rejoin the band saved him."
Walsh then played a key role on the Eagles' long-awaited 2007 studio album, Long Road Out of Eden, their first since 1979's The Long Run. In 2012, he released Analog Man, his first solo album in two decades.

The 22-year-old has made seven appearances for the the Royals this season but does not look likely to add to that tally after being told he needs surgery on his shoulder
The incident happened when McCarthy collided with the goalpost in Reading's 1-1 draw at QPR.
Since then, efforts to try and solve the problem have not been a success, meaning an operation is the only option left for the former England Under-21 international.
McCarthy tweeted on Thursday afternoon: "On route back home from London, was expecting the outcome with the specialist. Surgery on Monday. My season over! #Raging"
Australian Adam Federici will continue to replace McCarthy for the rest of the season, with Stuart Taylor and Mikkel Anderson as back up options.
Federici's next test will come when Manchester United visit the Madejski on Saturday.
