Don't Pick a Boss, Pick a Job
by Bernie Frazier - Dec, 2014
I recently read an article entitled, "Don't Pick a Job. Pick a Boss." While the article made some valid points, I want to offer a different perspective. After spending 25 years in Corporate America and having 17 direct supervisors, I can truly appreciate any person's desire to have a great boss. As the article stated, great bosses facilitate learning, welcome ideas from employees, believe in their employees and more. J...

5 Ways to Survive a Bad Day
by Melody Wilding - Dec, 2014
Lousy days happen to all of us. Even a seemingly harmless wake-up-on-the-wrong-side-of-the-bed morning can send you into a funk. No matter how many happiness hacks or positive mantras you try to make it better, it can be hard to shake your grouchiness and glass-half-empty attitude. And when a bad mood follows you to work, it can amplify all sorts of everyday annoyances and frustrations. Now, perhaps you're not able to ho...
Interview Follow-up: Another Way to Stand Out
by Thea Kelley - Dec, 2014
Following up after your job interview is more than just a formality and a matter of common courtesy. Most interviewers say a follow-up letter - or the lack of one - can influence their opinion of a candidate. What your follow-up can achieve: Reinforce the employer's memory of you – your brand, your unique selling proposition. Demonstrate your continuing interest and excitement about the job and the company. Help reso...
Are You Following Your Company's Hidden Rules?
by Terri Tierney Clark - Dec, 2014
Every company has an unwritten set of rules. These are the rules that no one reveals; you just have to figure them out on your own. But it's important that you do or you may be judged by your colleagues. At my company, I learned quickly that the junior employee picks up the tab for client dinners, taxis, and tips. I wasn't unusually perceptive; my boss hoisted several restaurant bills on me so I clued-in. As I became more s...

Most professionals know they should strengthen relationships with senior managers, but they often don't spend enough time cultivating friendships with same-level colleagues, or even those junior to them.

Today's Tips for Soliciting Customer Feedback

If your customers aren't telling you what you really need to hear, it might be your fault. When it comes to feedback, it's about the "how" as much as the "what."

Everything about Chateau L'Enclos Pomerol, Bordeaux wine producer profile, with wine tasting notes, wine and food pairing tips, best vintages, wine ratings, a history of the property, information on wine making and terroir. If you want to read about other important, Bordeaux Chateaux: Links to all Bordeaux Wine Producer Profiles
Chateau l'Enclos History, Overview
Chateau L'Enclos has a history dating back to the 19th century. At one point, the estate was known as Au Grand Moulinet, (Moulinet is the name of the neighboring village) before it became L'Enclos Pomerol, which eventually morphed into L'Enclos Pomerol. The chateau was constructed in 1898 by Pierre Larroucaud, the owner of the property at the time. Descendants of the Larroucaud family continued to own and manage the Pomerol estate of Chateau L'Enclos until 2006, when it was purchased by the American owners, Stephen Adams and Denise Adams, who also own Chateau Fonplegade in St. Emilion, as well as other Bordeaux properties and a vineyard in the Napa Valley, Adamvs, which is located on Howell Mountain.
Chateau l'Enclos Vineyards, Terroir, Grapes, Winemaking
The 9.5 hectare Pomerol vineyard of Chateau L'Enclos is located not far from Chateau Clos Rene. The vineyard of Chateau L'Enclos is planted to 82% Merlot, 17% Cabernet Franc and 1% Malbec. On average, the vines are 31 years of age. The estate has old vines as well, dating back to 45 years of age. The vineyard is planted to an average of 6,500 vines per hectare. In time, the Right Bank estate plans to increase the percentage of Merlot in the vineyards. There are three unique terroirs in the vineyards of Chateau L'Enclos with sand, gravel and flint soils. There are also some iron deposits in the soil which add to the complexity of the wine. The vineyard is as you might guess based on the 3 different soil types, located in various areas in Pomerol. Their best parcels are placed not far from Chateau Trotanoy and Chateau Clinet. Their lesser parcels are in sandy soils close to Chateau de Sales.
Starting with the 2011 vintage, the owners began heavily investing in the property, hoping to allow it to produce the best wine possible. They brought in Jean Christophe Meyrou, who works with Michel Rolland. Jean Christophe Meyrou began a program of micro vinification for 25% of the production of Chateau L'Enclos in 500 liter Burgundy barrels. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in nine, temperature controlled, cement vats that range in size from 81 hectoliters up to 116 hectoliters and 3 small, 50 hectoliter stainless steel vats. Malolactic fermentation takes place in a combination of tank and French oak barrels. At the estate, L'Enclos has also recently started increasing the percentage of new oak to age the wine. Currently, the wines are aged in 50% new French oak barrels for close to 18 months. At Chateau L'Enclos they are now working on organic farming techniques in their vineyards. Michel Rolland is their consultant at Chateau L'Enclos.
Serving and Decanting Chateau L'Enclos with Wine, Food, Pairing Tips
Chateau L'Enclos is best served at 15.5 degrees Celsius, 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The cool, almost cellar temperature gives the wine more freshness and lift. Young vintages can be decanted for 1 hour. This allows the wine to soften and open its perfume. Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment. Chateau L'Enclos is best paired with all types of classic meat dishes, veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, game, roast chicken, roasted braised and grilled dishes. Chateau L'Enclos is also good with Asian dishes, hearty fish courses like tuna, mushrooms and pasta.
Chateau L'Enclos is a fairly large property for the Pomerol appellation. On average their annual production is close to 3,000 cases per year. There is a second wine, Le Petit L'Enclos. Chateau L'Enclos is a Pomerol estate worth keeping your eye on as things can only continue to improve.

I first caught a glimpse of the score at halftime. It was 51-31, Wizards. I decided to go bang my head against the wall and not look at the score again.
When I finally got around to it, the Pacers had won, 85-83. Should I have been upset that the Pacers were down 22 points to one of the worst teams in the NBA, or should I be glad that they could come back from 22 points down to beat anyone? I guess at the end of the day, a win is better than a loss.

text: Politics 2 November 2012 Sandy cost the US $50bn, could have been averted for $15bn Prevention is better than cure. Sign up for our weekly email * Print HTML The FT's Jason Abbruzzese has posted the Moody's Analytics estimates of the economic damage of Hurricane Sandy. The firm puts the cost of lost output at $19.9bn, and the damages at a further $30bn: Abbruzzese writes: If the $50bn total turns out to be accurate, it will make Hurricane Sandy the fourth costliest US disaster behind Hurricane Katrina, the attacks of September 11, and Hurricane Andrew. Putting a dollar amount on a disaster which has claimed nearly 100 lives in the US, and almost as many in the other countries throughout North America which have been hit, may seem distasteful, especially since the death toll is likely to continue rising. But that figure helps put in context stories like this, by Matthew Yglesias: A 2009 seminar hosted at the Polytechnic Institute of New York University considered several options for major infrastructure upgrades to combat storm surges—a barrier at the south end of the Arthur Kill that divides Staten Island from New Jersey, an East River barrier to prevent surges up that narrow waterway, a barrier perpendicular to the Verrazano Narrows Bridge between Staten Island and Brooklyn, and most ambitiously a "Gateway Barrier System" stretching from Sandy Hook to the Rockaways. Engineers don't believe it would be feasible for the Gateway system to entirely block storm surges, but it could weaken and deflect them—significantly reducing the flood risks to the entire New York Harbor… It would, of course, be expensive. The estimates presented at the seminar suggest a ballpark figure of $15 billion. But even if that turns out to be a substantial underestimate, it's a bargain compared to the cost of widespread flooding. Compared to $50bn, that $15bn looks increasingly tempting. › 171,000 new jobs provides mild boost to Obama Cars float in a flooded garage.

Recreational Services fits the bill
As you flipped the calendar to 2007, you undoubtedly made New Year's resolutions to turn on the treadmill, pound the pavement, or, at the very least, expand your exercise routine beyond remote control workouts.
But maybe these efforts fizzled after the initial January rush. Or perhaps you simply haven't gotten around to starting your new routine. There is good news: UI Recreational Services offers University of Iowa faculty, staff, and students—and the general public, for that matter—a variety of activities in facilities across campus, allowing people the opportunity to get in shape, learn new moves, make social connections, and have a little fun while they're at it.
fyi asks: Big plans for Spring Break?
We're curious just what UI faculty and staff members think about spring break. When the students head for home, downtown becomes a ghost town and you could roll a bowling ball down the walks of the Pentacrest without hitting a faculty or staff member. Where IS everybody? Tell us how you spend spring break through this brief survey: https://survey.uiowa.edu/wsb.dll/243/springbreak.htm.

Allu Arjun's new film is getting started on May Day that is falling on 1st of May. Shruti Hasan is pairing up with Arjun in the film. Actually the shooting was scheduled to start long back. But since Allu Arjun spent long time in Spain for the shooting of Iddarammayilatho, Surender Reddy had to wait for long time.
Now Allu Arjun's plan is to complete the shooting of this film in single schedule without any breaks. In fact, that is a Herculean task but Surender Reddy is know for proper planning. The single schedule may last for 30 days for Allu Arjun and he will be completing his part in that.
So, this shows that Allu Arjun is keen in doing more number of films every year.

US House Passes Authorization For Acadiana VA Clinics
The bill still faces a Senate vote before final approval.
The bill still faces a Senate vote before final approval.
The Wisconsin Republican's moves promise to balance the government's books with wide-ranging cuts to programs like food stamps and government-paid health care for the poor and working class.
The U.S. House has approved setting aside 80 percent of fines from the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill for environmental restoration work on the Gulf Coast. Late Thursday, the House voted to add an amendment setting aside 80 percent of the fines to the Gulf Coast. The amendment was added to a surface transportation bill offered by U.S. Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La.
7th District Congressman Charles Boustany joined Bernadette Lee and Ken Romero on The Morning Report to discuss the latest in debate over the new healthcar law. One element of the law was struck down by a federal judge this week. Boustany answered questions about that issue along with the latest on unemployment benefit extensions and tax cuts.

St. Paul community leaders and residents are trying to figure out how to improve one of the city's most impoverished areas. St. Paul won a $500,000 federal planning grant last year as part of the Promise Neighborhood project -- a national program in 21 cities aimed at sending more children to college.
The project is focused on two of the city's poorest neighborhoods, Frogtown and Summit-University. Residents from the two neighborhoods got their first chance Thursday night to shape how the money could be spent.
First, the community took a close look at itself. Wilder researcher Muneer Karcher-Ramos presented results from a survey of the 250 blocks included in the project.
"We went through this neighborhood door to door, we sent fliers out, we called people, and the final result was -- 45 percent of the households with children earn less than $18,000 per year," said Karcher-Ramos.
The neighborhoods, located near the State Capitol, are about one-third African American and one-third Asian. About one in every six children is being raised by someone who isn't their biological parent, most often a grandparent. More than three-quarters of students qualify for free or reduced school lunch. According to the survey, fewer than 10 percent of children in Frogtown and Summit-University get an hour of exercise or five servings of fruits or vegetables a day.
After a year of talking and planning, groups of community members came up with ideas such as all-year youth mentoring programs, health clinics in schools, neighborhood cleanup squads and apprentice programs at local businesses.
"We must really make sure that there are more affordable housing options for families. That was really key," said Eric Haugee, who led one of the groups that met for months.
The groups' ideas were combined into an executive summary that will be the basis of a funding proposal to the federal government.
"We also need to find ways to make it easier for Promise Neighborhood parents to get and keep good-paying jobs," said Sia Her, another group leader.
Thursday's community meeting split into small groups of about six, so facilitators could gather reactions to the proposals.
Yasar Ali told his table he was startled by the survey finding that there are 1,000 vacant houses in the Promise Neighborhood.
"Maybe we need to start petitioning the commissioner and the rest to make it easier to purchase those homes, or at least rehab them," said Ali.
At the same table, Betty Sims said she was scared to go for a walk in her neighborhood.
"I'm a senior citizen. You've got a better chance of getting away from something than I would," said Sims. "That's just the way I look at it, and that's pretty sad."
At another table, Zong Vang said she was frustrated that there were few Hmong at the meeting.
"Why aren't there signs out there? You want community buy-in, but what are we doing to earn their trust?" asked Vang. "It's going to take a lot of time to earn their trust because again, this is another plan initiative for them, and people have made promises in the past and it's been broken."
Promise Neighborhood Advisory Board chair Billy Collins told the room their comments would be considered when the board reviews the draft recommendations at a meeting Monday.
Those recommendations must be sent to the federal government within the next few months, so St. Paul can compete for funding for the implementation phase of the Promise Neighborhood project.
Collins said the government has been pleased with the work in St. Paul so far.
"I'd be very surprised if we don't get top consideration for something," said Collins. "The reality of it is, there's been $30 million that's been allocated so far, and that's not a done deal, it just hasn't been approved by Congress."
Collins said if the federal funding doesn't come through, organizers will ask local contributors to fund the rest of the project.

the oaths of witnesses Thomas LANE, Martin LANE and James PERRY. According to
Abstract of Graves of Revolutionary Patriots, Daughters of the American
Revolution, Ref. 42, Col. Larkin CLEVELAND was buried at Buford Station (Lane
Cemetery), Giles County. His brother Ben was a kingpin in the win over the
British in the battle of Kings Mountain which turned to tide of the war in favor
of the American Settlers.
LARKIN CLEVELAND The National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution Volume 120, page 102 Mrs. Elizabeth Cleveland Morriss. DAR ID Number: 119323 Born in Selma, Ala. Wife of John Edward Morriss. Descendant of Lieut. Larkin Cleveland and of Maj. Robert Lide, as follows:
1. William Calloway Cleveland (1834-99) m. 2nd 1870 Frances Cornelia Lide (1847-79).
2. Carter Harrison Cleveland (1795-1864) m. 1816 Mary Smith (1799-1880); David Robert Lide (1805-74) m. 2nd 1846 Louise Dubose Miller (1820-76).
3. Larkin Cleveland m. 1772 Frances --- (1756-1836); James Lide (1770-1855) m. 1793 Jane Holloway (1778-1862).
4. Robert Lide m. 2nd 1760 Susan Kolb (1736-89). Larkin Cleveland (1748-1814) was lieutenant under his brother, Col. Benjamin Cleveland. He was born in Cullpeper County, Va.; died in Giles County, Tenn. Robert Lide (1734-1802) served with distinction as major under General Marion. He was born in Roanoke, Va.; died in Darlington, S. C.
Known children of Col. Larkin Cleveland & Frances "Fanny" Cleveland are:
Betsey, b. Jan 8, 1774
Sally b. Apr 16, 1775
Benjamin b. May 7, 1777
David b. March 9, 1779 & d. Sep 9, 1838, Pike Co Mississippi
Rhoda, b. Oct 9, 1782
Abner b. Dec 20, 1783
Oliver Cromwell, b. My 26, 1786
Lucinda, b. Dec 9, 1793

Paremela, b. Dec 19, 1796 d. Nov 3, 1803
Nancy b. May 31, 1798 d. Nov 1803
It is probable that Col. Larkin Clevelan's older children never came with him to Tennessee and therefore are not mentioned in his will.
(Note: Stone was at one time on the lawn of the Eric Schueler home and was moved down the road to this cemetery. Maybe the oldest tombstone in Giles Co.; boxtomb.).

Tinker Air Force Base is also 10 min away.
Towels and bedding provided.
This house was not clean and was out dated. We expected from the pictures that it would be out dated, but not unclean. Also, we did not have any TV access and the DVD player never worked. The host did bring a device for internet connection, but we never got it to work either. The host did bring a shade for the bathroom window, but we had already put pillow cases up on the window which is in the shower. The carpets and furniture were dirty, the sheets were old (we used our own). Most of the cabinets/drawers were falling apart. The back yard fence was falling down and the tree was way over grown and had worms. While the neighbor was nice, he was sitting in the driveway of the house smoking and talking on the phone often when we arrived home. The neighborhood of the house is not great and the neighbor instructed us not to go to the area gas stations, etc... because they were not good places to be. The AC was cold and worked well, the refrigerator, washer and dryer worked well. Otherwise I would not recommend this home to others or stay in it in the future.
Good news is the amount of hot water and good water pressure made the showers really nice. The location was OK. The house was clean but everything was very old and worn. There was no dishwasher, just a big hole under the cabinets. The reason we like to rent homes is so we can make the most of our time together and love to cook while together. There were no sharp knifes, no bowls, the cooking pans were not usable. The coating was peeling out of every pan and the bottoms so warped they would not heat. The oven does work but takes forever to warm up. The cheap plastic plates were greasy feeling and everything had to be washed before it could be used. There were paper plates but some had been stacked together with food on them and put in the cabinet. We have used other sites and stayed at multiple homes and this was the worse place yet. It is WAY over priced for what you get!!!!!!!!
The sheets and limited number of towels were clean but look like something picked up at Goodwill. Very worn. The curtain in the small bathroom was nasty with water stains and looked like children had wiped their dirty hands on it. The larger bathroom had a tub/shower with a big window over the tub but no curtain and clear glass making the shower unusable. The neighbor could see you sitting on the toilet!!!!
The back yard has no grass and a fence that is falling down. I had sent emails to the owner and did get a response but only address and door code. There were no instructions regarding wi-fi, cable or what check out/cleaning procedures were expected. Due to the number of beds crammed into each bedroom there is sleeping for lots of people but only seating at the table for 4. Living room only has seating for 5 on a worn out couch and love set. The cushions had big holes . Very crowded when trying to spend time together. Very disappointed in the experience. I cannot recommend this home to anyone unless it is made more comfortable.
The house was exactly as it was presented. The a/c stopped working the second day we were there but the host took care of the problem in a timely manner.
had a very good time. You home is in a very good neighborhood. Thank you so very much

I had to be there setting up my sound & lighting before the show which gives me an aching back at the best of times. I put the singlet on after that and wore it for the rest of the night (about 6 hours) and it was great. Instant relief and support. I'm really happy so thanks again.Glenn Campbell Original Sin INXS Show

Equmen Core Precision undershirt
Apparently a big hit overseas, the Core Precision undershirt (otherwise known as the "wondershirt") is, as my ever-unsympathetic fiancé e Colleen observed, a "control-top undershirt" for men. While designed for athletic support and general cosmetic enhancement, the stretchy garment (from $89 at equmen.com) seems like something conceived as a lesson in gender empathy. The idea is to put your typical attire over the glorified wife-beater and marvel as it improves your posture while slimming your upper body. Somewhat shockingly, that's exactly what happened. I wore the wondershirt (say it loud, say it proud!) while tackling a day's worth of writing, finally sitting naturally upright thanks to the tautness of the polyester-blend fabric. And more significantly, I wore it to the gym where I found new determination among the dumbbells and workout benches. My muscles were discernibly more disciplined, and it was markedly easier to feel the subtleties of every stretch. Peeling off the sweaty shirt, however, felt like Houdini unshackling from a straitjacket, making my droopy torso reappear-which is why I may consider wearing it every day.-Kenny Herzog

2013 Financial GuidanceCash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities totaled $99.1 million at December 31, 2012 compared to $55.7 million at December 31, 2011. Amicus expects full-year 2013 net cash spend between $52 million and $58 million. The current cash position and anticipated Fabry program reimbursements from GSK are projected to fund operations into the second half of 2014. Amicus and GSK are co-developing all formulations of migalastat HCl under a global Fabry collaboration. Amicus has commercial rights to all Fabry products in the United States and GSK has commercial rights to all of these products in the rest of world. Amicus and GSK are responsible for 40% and 60% of global development costs, respectively, in 2013 and beyond. Outside the GSK collaboration, Amicus owns exclusive rights to the rest of its pipeline and applications of its platform technology. Strategic Outlook Amicus is leveraging its pharmacological chaperone technology platform to develop next-generation medicines for a range of rare and orphan diseases, with a focus on improved therapies for lysosomal storage disorders. During 2013, Amicus and GSK are committed to advancing migalastat HCl for Fabry disease. Amicus will also continue to advance its pharmacologic chaperone technology platform to develop next-generation therapies (ERTs) for Pompe and additional lysosomal storage disorders. These programs include novel small molecules co-administered with existing enzyme replacement products, as well as proprietary next-generation enzyme replacement therapies that are co-formulated with pharmacologic chaperones. Migalastat HCl Monotherapy for Fabry Disease Migalastat HCl monotherapy (150 mg, every-other-day (QOD)) is in two randomized ongoing Phase 3 studies for Fabry Disease ( Study 011 and Study 012) in patients with genetic mutations identified as amenable to this pharmacologic chaperone in a cell-based assay.
- Study 011 is comparing migalastat HCl to placebo to potentially support a U.S. marketing application. In December 2012, Amicus and GSK announced encouraging top-line Stage 1 results from the 6-month double-blind treatment period in Study 011 (Stage 1). Additional 6-month data will be presented at the Lysosomal Disease Network WORLD Symposium ( LDN WORLD), to be held February 12-15, 2013, in Orlando, Florida. Data from the 6-month open-label follow up period in Study 011 (Stage 2) in which all patients received migalastat HCl are anticipated in the first half of 2013. These results will include 12 months of data for the migalastat HCl group and 6 months of data for the group that crossed over from placebo to migalastat HCl. The FDA has indicated that it will consider the entirety of the efficacy and safety data from Stage 1 and Stage 2 of Study 011. Amicus and GSK expect to meet with the FDA in 2013 to discuss a U.S. approval pathway for migalastat HCl monotherapy.
- Study 012 is comparing open-label migalastat HCl to current standard of care ERTs (Fabrazyme and Replagal) to support global registration. In December 2012, this study achieved full enrollment of 60 patients, who were randomized 1.5:1 to switch from ERT to migalastat HCl or remain on ERT. Data is anticipated in the second half of 2014 on the primary outcome measure, which is renal function assessed by iohexol Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) at 18 months.

how to make a simple detonator?
how can i make an electronic detonator for fireworks?
Looks there are some good ones in the related panel too. -------->
There seem to be some similar instructables in the Related column at right, and a keyword search might find more.
I'm going to assume you've already read and accepted all the standard safety warnings, and know what the legalities are in your area. Evolution takes no prisoners.
Simple method:
Run a very fine piece of wire through the charge/explosive/whatever you need to be ignited. Nichrome wire is great if you have any, but regular fine copper wire is alright.
Connect the ends of that piece of wire to 2 other thicker wires, and run them to a power supply. Something like a 12V car battery works alright.
Connecting the wires to the battery should cause that small piece of wire to heat up, hopefully igniting the firework.
If not, put more car batteries in series to get more current flowing through the wire, and hence more heat.

The University of Virginia's governing board is to consider whether to reinstate Teresa Sullivan, who was ousted without a vote earlier this month.
The Board of Visitors was to meet Tuesday afternoon at the university's historic Rotunda. Faculty, students and others planned to hold a demonstration outside the meeting to show support for the popular Sullivan, who became U.Va.'s eighth president and its first female leader in August 2010.
A majority of the 15-member board would have to approve the reinstatement for Sullivan to remain in office. Sullivan declined to comment before the meeting through a spokeswoman with a media relations firm she has hired. Messages for board Rector Helen Dragas and the other board members weren't immediately returned.
U.Va. officials announced June 10 that Sullivan would step down Aug. 15, surprising the university community and triggering an outcry over the lack of explanation about her forced resignation. Dragas since has said the university wasn't acting quickly enough to address state and federal funding reductions, online education delivery and other challenges, but didn't offer specific examples of how she thinks Sullivan has fallen short.
Emails that became public showed the roles Dragas and vice rector Mark Kington played in planning the ouster in the weeks ahead of the announcement and showed them exchanging links to articles addressing issues that surfaced in statements related to Sullivan's removal. An email from Peter Kiernan, a top donor who chaired the Darden School Foundation, also surfaced, showing that he supported and had advance knowledge of the plan. Kiernan subsequently resigned from the foundation.
Sullivan defended her performance at a board meeting June 18, outlining some of her initiatives since taking office, including hiring a new provost and chief operating officer and adopting a new budgeting model that decentralizes financial planning. She also admitted to being an "incrementalist," favoring measured planning and buy-in from faculty and other constituents, and criticized the board's "corporate, top-down leadership" as not being in the university's best interests.
Critics compared how the board's executive committee handled Sullivan's abrupt firing to a coup d'etat, and said it violated U.Va. founder Thomas Jefferson's stated principles of honesty, respect and honor. The move triggered online protests, gatherings that packed the historic grounds' Lawn, and calls by deans, faculty, students and alumni for the board to return her to office. The Faculty Senate was among groups that called for Dragas and Kington to resign. Kington stepped down last week.
Dragas apologized for the mishandling of Sullivan's removal but stood by the decision. "In my view we did the right thing, the wrong way," she said in a statement.
At last week's marathon session, which stretched nearly 12 hours, the board named U.Va. undergraduate business school Dean Carl P. Zeithaml to become interim president after Sullivan's departure. But Zeithaml on Friday decided to step aside until the resolution of Sullivan's employment status.
Gov. Bob McDonnell, who appointed half of the board members, said Friday he would ask for the resignations of all the members if the group failed to resolve the controversy at Tuesday's meeting.
Sullivan, 62, is an eminent scholar of labor-force demography. Before coming to Charlottesville, she served as provost and executive vice president for academic affairs at the University of Michigan, another top public university.

Peg Wangensteen and her husband, Doug, had been in their St. Paul home for about 40 years when a number of things inspired them to remodel their upstairs bathroom this spring.
"One was our granddaughter saying to us, 'Grandma why do you have paint peeling off the ceiling of your bathroom,'" she said. "But it was also that the water pressure wasn't as good. It was the room was kind of cool because it had two outside walls."
Workers gutted the bathroom to the studs and installed new insulation, sheetrock and tile. They also replaced aging pipes, along with the bathroom window, sink, toilet and tub.
It was a significant expense but the Wangensteens think they received a good deal, saving about $1,000.
"We thought the bids were going to be better than they might be in a few years from now," she said. "We have a sense that there isn't as much remodeling going on and that people want the work. We were hoping to tap into that."
As more homeowners undertake such projects, the hard-hit construction industry appears to be recovering slowly -- improvement is starting to show up in the remodeling business.
But times are still tough in the building trades. These days there's often intense competition for the remodeling work that is available. That's pushed down the cost of home renovations.
Many remodelers agree with Peg Wangensteen's read of the market.
"I would say that over the past couple of years, we've seen overall prices on project come down maybe 10 percent or so," said Loren Schirber, who owns Castle Building & Remodeling, which did the Wangensteens' bathroom renovation.
Given the cost of remodeling projects, 10 percent can translate to savings of thousands of dollars.
Schirber said that competition intensified as the economy slumped, putting pressure on the wages of electricians, plumbers, and other trades people, as well as prices of building materials and the profit margins of contractors.
"We have to work harder to find better suppliers and vendors, so, we can find a better value and make people's dollars stretch further," he said.
The competition is coming from unemployed and underemployed tradespeople striking out on their own. New home builders who entered the remodeling business after the collapse of new home construction have also pushed prices down, said Don Martin, a partner in J-Mar Builders & Remodelers.
"I do believe it's a buyer's market because there's still a fair amount of pressure to keep your prices down to get work," he said. "It's starting to turn a little bit. It definitely feels like the economy is changing. But I do think that there's still some pressure to keep your price down, just to keep the work coming in."
Martin said some of the pressure comes from workers willing to go without contractor's insurance coverage or building permits. He's also seen more people willing to work for cash under the table.
"I don't know if it's as prevalent today as it was six months ago," he said. "But I would say in the last year and half, it's probably been more prevalent than at any time since I've been in the business."
Martin said homeowners take a lot of risks by hiring unlicensed or uninsured people to do home improvement projects. Failing to obtain a permit for work can mean it won't be done right.
The Joint Center for Housing Studies at Harvard University estimates home improvement spending nationwide fell from $145 billion in 2006 to $115 billion in 2011, a decline of about 20 percent. But the center forecasts a 6 percent increase in home fixup spending this year. Stronger pending home sales and low interest rates are expected to contribute to the rise.
But the amount of money homeowners are putting into each home renovation project has dropped considerably, according to BuildFax, which collects data on remodeling permits nationwide. "The average and median job cost on a permit has gone down by about 20 percent pre-recession versus post-recession," said Joe Emison, vice president of research at BuildFax.
Emison said the decline could be because projects are less ambitious or more favorably priced, or both. But he said the Twin Cites remodeling market seems to be on the upswing. Projects were up an estimated 13 percent in March.
"Year over year, we're seeing some pretty good growth in Minneapolis," he said.
If that growth continues, homeowners will likely have less room to negotiate deals with remodelers. Some contractors say the market has already turned, for them at least, and they're able to raise prices.
But officials at Hanley Wood Market Intelligence say the market still has a big hill to climb. The firm projects the Twin Cities market won't return to the peak levels of 2007 until late next year.

SunGard Consultancy to Aid Regulatory, Risk Management
SunGard announced the launch of a regulatory and risk management consulting service aimed at helping compliance officers navigate the new requirements imposed on Wall Street in the aftermath of the Dodd-Frank bill.
SunGard said the new consulting practice, which is housed within its wealth management division, is designed to allow firms to better manage risk and boost transparency in an environment where compliance officers must provide quick responses to inquiries from regulators.
"Within the coming years, financial services institutions will continue to face a multitude of regulatory and accounting changes," SunGard executive Melissa Cullen said in a statement.

Terrier Antibiotic and Springer Antibiotic
Arbor Systemshttp://www.ArborSystems.com
OMAHA, NE – ArborSystems introduces ready-to-use systemic antibiotic direct-inject chemical line that is used in their Wedgle Direct-Inject Tree Injection System for ornamental trees, large woody shrubs and palms.
"Arborists, urban foresters and tree care professionals can now provide seasonal suppression for a variety of diseases," said Chip Doolittle, president of ArborSystems in Omaha, NE. "Tree trunk direct-injection delivers proven results with less chemicals compared to foliage spray or soil drenching."
The new antibiotic line has two chemical products for trunk injection treatment. Terrier Antibiotic is available in 120 ml and 1000 ml Quick-Connect Chemical Packs and treats Bacterial Leaf Scorch in Elm, Oak, Sycamore, Oleander and Sweet Gum trees; Fire Blight in Mountain Ash trees; Ash Yellows in Ash trees; and Phloem Necrosis in Elm trees (also called Elm Yellow). A 120 ml pack treats approximately 20 trees with a 12" DBH. Preventative applications are more effective than suppressive treatment in trees showing disease symptoms. Springer Antibiotic is available in 1000 ml Quick-Connect Chemical Packs and is for seasonal suppression of lethal yellow disease in palms. It can be used anytime during the growing season. A 1000 ml pack treats approximately 25 palms with a 12" DBH. Both contain Oxytetracycline Hydrochloride.
"Tree trunk injections are a tree-friendly way to treat plants and trees and are people friendly too," said Doolittle. "Children and pets are not exposed to chemical spray or open chemical containers and there is no need to cover outdoor toys, play equipment, pools, furniture or vehicles."
The Wedgle is a no-drill tree treatment system -- an easy, fast and tree-friendly way to treat almost any tree in five minutes or less and does not require waiting for the uptake of chemicals, guarding during the draining process, power or pumps.
ArborSystems chemicals are used with their Direct-Inject Tree Injection System as an injection into the flare or base of the tree to ensure even distribution through the tree's vascular system for treatment of insects, pests and diseases. It places the chemical deep into the active areas where it can be easily absorbed. Chemicals are delivered fast and effectively at a known dose rate with virtually no environmental exposure associated with foliage spray, soil injection or drenching,
It is the only tree trunk injection application method that does not require a drilled hole. ArborSystems no-drill method is similar to getting a small scratch or vaccine that heals quickly versus drilling which is comparable to a cut that requires stitches and can be prone to infections. This approach protects trees from further stress and allows trees to put their full energy into recovery.

Remember Dec. 31, 1999, when the Y2K bug caused airplanes and satellites to fall from the sky, physically crashing into financial centers that had already crashed figuratively after important banking computers caught fire, and how all elevators were stuck between floors everywhere?
Or when, earlier this month, the world actually ended along with the Mayan calendar?
Some people think the " fiscal cliff" is going to be a lot like that: a bunch of hype, and not much catastrophe.
At least one U.S. senator, Iowa Democrat Tom Harkin, is on record comparing the fiscal cliff to Y2K. So are a whole lot of people on Twitter, desensitized by repeated warnings of economic cataclysm.
A sampling of fiscal cliff/Y2K tweets proves that some of us can't feel anything for this "cliff" anymore:
Anyone missing the Y2K hype of 1999. Prince really should have cashed in on a cliff song.

Fiscal Cliff is the Y2K of 2012 Mayan prophecies.

Fireglow glass is attributed to the Boston and Sandwich Glass Company. The light-tan-colored glass appears reddish brown when held to the light. Most fireglow has an acid finish and enamel decoration, although it was also made with a satin finish. Fireglow pieces are often vases, but can also be tumblers, bride's baskets, and pitchers.
This set of 3 tumblers, circa 1880-1900, are a wonderful malt-tan color with an acid finish. Each are hand painted with an all around motif of five-pedal flowers, unopened buds, large leaves and grassy foliage in a royal blue enamel with white highlights. The tumblers measure 3 3/4" in height and 2 5/8" across the top. The opaque glass is quite heavy and varies in thickness up to 3/16". There are no cracks, chips or repairs; one tumbler has a slight flake along the outside edge of the rim (see photo). Have a another matching set of 3 tumblers in my store on which the blue enamel is slightly lighter than this set.
A varied selection of ANTIQUE & VINTAGE ITEMS for all tastes and budgets.
It's never too early to think CHRISTMAS. Shop early from a great selection for those SPECIAL PEOPLE on your list.

OVER a three-year period between the ages of seven and ten, I fell in love for the first time.
This was true love, hero worship on a massive scale and I was far from alone in my feelings, most English kids born in the early 1980s also falling head-over-heels for this supremely talented individual.
I know what you're thinking, but I'm not referring to Jet from Gladiators, immaculate as her hair always was after jousting with a pugil stick.
I, of course, refer to Paul Gascoigne, then of Tottenham and England whose skill and sheer love of playing and playing brilliantly made me want to become a sports reporter who could write all about Gazza and the like each week.
He was an astonishing talent and someone so good that he almost single-handedly won an FA Cup, still to this day probably my most exciting time as a football fan (over 20 years ago!).
Obviously his huge talent comes with an element of tragedy, his alcoholism and depression derailing his career and now threatening his life, a prospect almost too grim for me to contemplate. But in terms of talent, Gascoigne for me is the best I've seen in the flesh, the most complete player, and the greatest entertainer.
Until now. Because there is a contender to succeed the esteem I held Gazza's talents in, and that's Wales' own Gareth Bale.
In the past two weeks I've sat enthralled as he scored a wonder goal at Carrow Road, stood behind the goal as he scored a stunner at the Hawthorns, watched him practically beat Austria on his own (and score) and then entirely beat Newcastle United on his own.
Bale's pace, power, adroitness and confidence mark his as a unique, one-of-a-kind talent who is now in my view head-and-shoulders Britain's best player.
The sadness for me is that he won't be at White Hart Lane forever. The wonderful thing for you though, is that he'll always be Welsh.

I am a human being. And last week, I erred. In fact, I made a pretty fat mistake — in a headline no less.
I misspelled Makayla James' last name in a headline on Cindy DiFazio's story about the 10-year-old and her love of riding horses.
Then, I missed the misspelling in the lead paragraph of the story.

The major news of the week while not strictly design or tech related was the announcement that Disney is to buy Marvel in a $4bn deal. It means Disney will take over ownership of 5,000 Marvel characters, such as Spider-Man and the X-Men. It's a very interesting acquisition by Disney, we will just have to wait and see what plans they have for future releases and products.
The main tech related news this week was Microsoft's apology for their poorly edited image on its Polish website, replacing a black person with a white one. A clumsy piece of design work that has caused Microsoft considerable embarassment.

There are three types of marketing that, if you get them right, are really going to fast-track your business success in 2013.
Content marketing, social media sharing, and remarketing are three areas that can increase your sales and where you can still be the first in your marketplace to get it right. That will give you great power over your competition.
Great content marketing is going to sit at the centre of successful sustainable marketing activity in 2013. That's because, without great content, you're not going to get good traffic from the search engines, and there's little for customers to discuss about you on social media (which also affects your search traffic). Plus, good content builds customers' warmth towards you — it defines your brand and keeps them coming back again and again.
What is content?
It might be a blog, it might be a video, or pictures of your latest photo-shoot, or even an infographic. Essentially content is anything people can consume online — written, visual, or audio.
If you really want to take it to top-of-the-class content — get your customers to create it for you! Ask them to write blog posts for you, review your products, or post videos of them using them.
Social sharing
Creating content isn't easy, but this next tip for 2013 is.
Social media sharing buttons. These are the little buttons you find on a blog or product page that invite the visitor to share the page on Twitter or Facebook. Once you've added them to your page templates, that's it, the job is done.
So why should you add them? Well, if you want to win in the search engine rankings war in 2013 you need people talking about your site and your products on social media. That means you need to make it easy for them to do so. Visitors are more likely to talk about you and your products online if there's a button on that product page telling them to.
Capture more customers
Both the above tips are about driving more traffic to your website, the third top marketing tactic for 2013 is all about improving your conversion rate. Remarketing enables you to show ads to people who've already visited your website — reminding them to come back and buy from you.
You simply need to add a piece of code to all the pages of your website, and then create the targeting rules and the ads. To do all this you can use Google Adwords, and you pay for the advertising on a cost per click basis.
A few things to be careful of — with your targeting make sure you exclude those people who did buy, limit how long after their last visit they'll see your ads, and set a maximum number of times they see your ad each day.
And finally, a little bonus tip — test out selling your products on Amazon and eBay. That's where many consumers are spending their online shopping time — so if you're not there, you're probably missing out!

'He kept to himself, had only a few friends; spent most of his time reading and praying'
During his 12-year stay in Tihar Jail's high-security wards, 2001 Parliament terror attack case convict Mohammed Afzal Guru, 43, was known as a high-profile inmate who was discreet and wary of strangers. Abhishek Sharan reports.india Updated: Feb 10, 2013 01:06 IST
During his 12-year stay in Tihar Jail's high-security wards, 2001 Parliament terror attack case convict Mohammed Afzal Guru, 43, was known as a high-profile inmate who was discreet and wary of strangers.
Guru had built his world around a few coveted personal possessions — an embroidered Kashmiri rug on which he offered namaaz five times a day, a small FM radio set he used to keep track of the world, especially Jammu and Kashmir, outside the barbed jail walls and a copy of the Quran.
"Guru used to spend his time tracking political news from around the world, especially Kashmir," said a prison source. He was lodged in a 12-by-8 feet solitary cell in the high-security ward of sub-jail three, which was under 24/7 closed circuit television monitoring. Guru was hanged at 8 am on Saturday at a designated spot in sub-jail three of Tihar Prison.
From the jail library, he would also ask for a few current affairs periodicals and daily newspapers.
"For hours, Guru would pore through two Urdu and three English newspapers, and magazines such as Newsweek and Time," said the source.
Guru was apparently "glad" when a small FM radio set was made available in all the high-security wards.
"I used to interact with him during my stint as Tihar chief as Director General (prisons). He would often talk about books, political events occurring outside and his need for holy books," said Delhi's former Police Commissioner BK Gupta.
"He never discussed anything related to the Parliament attack case, though."
Of short height and slight build, Guru was usually seen dressed in a tee-shirt worn over loose pyjamas or trousers. Guru was known to be alert and polite to a fault with jail officials, conversant in fluent English at times.
To the dozen-odd people sharing the ward - most of them convicted terrorists — Guru was seen as a "hero owing to his case background", said a source.
Guru, a self-confessed 'surrendered' militant of the Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front, was an intensely private man who allegedly tolerated the company of only a select few — usually convicted terrorists.
He was allowed to go on walks, which helped him fight off depression.
Around three weeks before his execution, Guru hoped that his mercy petition would be accepted by the President.
"Around three weeks ago, I had met Afzal in Tihar. He was optimistic about his mercy petition. He said the Centre had made it clear that they won't jump the queue to reject mercy petitions," said Guru's lawyer, ND Pancholi.

Well, I'm just starting doing this. To know what are the questions people ask, just look at the questions-list. I haven't looked too much into the ODBC FAQs yet, but I don't use it myself (I wanted to give Windows user an access to the main database with ODBC+Access when I was in Canada, and never did it, because the issue seemed confusing to me -- but I'm no good at all on Windows, just knowing basic things to keep people out of trouble). I've started collecting entries since the 7th of April (I'm planning to go back in time later...), and well, I haven't seen much about ODBC. My opinion about all this : I will build up the structure for the various FAQ, and try to update as much as I can myself. However, as soon as the structure is here, it will be quite easy to : - either submit raw questions/answers that I format into SGML myself, - either directly submit patches to update it. However, if someone volunteers to be the main maintainer for one section of the FAQ, I'm willing to give them away if noone disagrees :) But a section is still one piece in the document, so we must keep one central place, which will certainly be on postgresql.org, through Thomas.. > > > If the one at MageNet is sooooo out of date, can you please point > > > Patrice at something newer to work on so that he can get it integrated > > > into our document tree? > > > > I sense edginess here.

No, you shouldn't ! Every bit of help is welcomed. Even though I'm working on the FAQ, I don't know every aspect, especially when it comes to interfaces like ODBC. I'll try to build up something from what I find here and there. Some items may be wrong, out of date, and some important facts missing. If noone tells, I'll never know. I think the same problem exists for the main docs. I welcome any contributions concerning this... though.. err.. just give me some time to have a first draft :) But it's sure we need to have a central place : easier to keep uptodate, easier for the users to find what they want, easier to coordinate our efforts (after the first few steps, I mean ;) ).
