History of the blazer
The blazer, both the single breasted and double breasted, is probably the most iconic male-wear piece. The blazer is the central go-to piece of clothing as it can be styled in great variety and fits most occasions. Read on, and get knowledge about the history, functions, and how to style your blazer.
The history
The blazer originates way back and has evolved through the years. The two biggest influencers of the blazer seem to be the Lady Margaret Boat Club and H.M.S. Blazer. The Lady Margaret Boat Club was founded in 1825 by members from St. Johns College, Cambridge, England and they all wore bright red flannel jackets. They were named blazers as the red color blazed. The H.M.S. Blazer got its name as Queen Victoria was to visit the Royal Navy, and the Commander of H.M.S. Blazer created new uniforms for the crew. He invented a uniform, which were double breasted jackets with Royal Navy buttons, and the Queen loved it.
Gradually the blazer became a well-know term for this type of jacket, and today it is seen as an icon of the male fashion industry.
Through Bertoni's history the blazer has undergone evolution in compliance with current trends and patterns. Today, Bertoni's in-house designers and constructors design blazers with a perfect fit and in a variety of both classic and seasonal patterns and colors.

The functions and etiquette
The blazer has several details and functions, some more hidden than others and with different purposes.
The blazer can either be single breasted or double breasted. The single breasted blazer has two halves, which button together with one to four buttons, most often two or three buttons.
The double breasted blazer is often more formal and has four, six, or eight buttons, which ties the extra fabric that folds over from left to right.
Most often the blazer has more than one button, and with the buttons come rules for when to button and unbutton. For the single breasted blazer the etiquette tells you to always button your one-button blazer, except when sitting. For the two-buttons blazer use the top button and leave the lower button unbuttoned. For three-buttons blazers button the center (and top if you want) and leave the third one unbuttoned. For the double breasted blazer always button all the waist buttons.
The blazer comes with several pockets, all with a purpose. The upper pocket at the chest should be used for pocket squares only, and the big pocket at the waist is free of use but remember not to overstock the pocket as it ruins the fine lines of the blazer. Some blazers also come with a small ticket pocket placed above the lower big pocket. Originally, this pocket was used for train tickets.
Some blazers have vents or slits in the lower back of the jacket. Either the blazer comes with a single vent, a double or two-sided vent, or ventless. Vents were originally used when riding horses in order to keep the fine lines of the blazer.
At the top of your blazer lapels, you will find a lapel button-hole, which originally was designed to button up the blazer. Now, the lapel button-hole is often used when wearing a boutonniere. The boutonniere is worn on the left lapel and can be latched inside the jacket at the boutonniere latch. Keep in mind that the flower you choose should be appropriate for the occasion, so when going formal choose a white or red flower, and for less formal occasions, more colorful flowers will work.

How to style
The blazer is very versatile and can be worn both at very different occasions and in a number of different trousers and shirt combinations. You can pair your blazer with almost everything but the key is to think of the event where you want to wear a blazer and determine the level of formality.
For formal events the blazer works well with a pair of fine trousers, a solid shirt, and a tie. For less formal events the blazer can be paired with a pair of chinos or jeans and a t-shirt or polo shirt.

The information herein provides guidelines for building owners, designers and developers on the resources available when altering or rehabilitating buildings in revitalization districts.
Building Plan Review
After an applicant has completed the rezoning and special exception application process and submitted a site plan, building plans may be filed for permit and submitted for review to Building Plan Review. Individuals making alterations to existing buildings in a commercial revitalization district may utilize the expanded Fast Track program which allows projects to be reviewed by county staff on an expedited basis. The program is available on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of every week from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The commercial Fast Track program limits a project size to 4,500 square feet. However, the expanded qualifying area for projects in commercial revitalization districts is:
- Up to 10,000 square feet for assembly, educational or institutional uses.
- Up to 15,000 square feet for business, mercantile or storage uses.
Annual Permit Program
The Annual Permit Program allows building owners or tenants to apply for an annual permit to perform minor renovations to existing multi-tenant commercial buildings. This program authorizes a limited scope of construction work at a specific location prior to applying for the associated permits. The annual permit program facilitates the issuance of permits by eliminating waiting time associated with obtaining individual permits.
Modified Processing
Modified Processing allows for the issuance of partial building permits (footing and foundation permit) prior to full approval of site and building plans for new commercial building and additions to existing commercial buildings. In revitalization areas, projects are eligible for modified processing if the plans are submitted under the Expedited Building Plan Review Program. The advantage of the modified plan processing status is the ability to begin construction quickly and continue in phases without awaiting full design approvals.
Helpful Hints
Helpful time saving hints for individuals constructing projects in revitalization districts:
- Take advantage of the revitalization resource center in the Permit Application Center. Inform staff that your project is located in a revitalization district.
- Request a preliminary meeting prior to submitting plans for a permit. A multi-disciplined team of reviewers will pre-review plans for code issues so that corrections can be made prior to plan submission. This service is provided at no charge.
- Request a pre-construction meeting. A multi-disciplined team of inspectors will discuss the construction of your project and provide advice on the scheduling of inspections and other issues.
If you have questions or need additional information, please contact Building Plan Review at 703-222-0114, TTY 711.

Go Team Study Mission - Dubai Tourism
7 May 2015
The Dubai Tourism Go Team Study Mission was an educational rally where teams learnt about the history of Dubai. Delegates went on a trip through the historical old Dubai and waterways while they unravelled through a series of tasks how Dubai was discovered. They learnt about Arabic traditional customs teaching them how the local Emirati people lived decades before they struck oil!
How it worked
Each team was provided with a Samsung galaxy tablet which was installed with the Go Team app and with unlimited internet connection. Using the Go Team app's GPS navigation and a series of clues and navigation notes, clients were guided around 14 checkpoints starting at the Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Cultural Understanding where they were briefed. There first task was exploring through the oldest area of Dubai in the iconic Bastakiya area that was built in the 1890s. All teams had to take a traditional Arabic carpet lesion in how to make a carpet from scrap before heading into the Dubai Museum - Al Fahidi fort which is the oldest existing building in Dubai which was built in 1787.
After their history lesion they were off into the Bur Dubai Souk for a local dress-up challenge and photo challenges of local nearby mosques. They then had to cross the creek to other side of town on a traditional abra; money talks on that side of the water they had to barter their way down to the best prices in the Dubai gold and spice souks leaving them with gifts and souvenirs that will last a lifetime! Teams participated in specific activities such as photo challenges, shopping tasks, and trivia questions.

Yay! Tori is ready and waiting for all your chatter...
So here's your obligatori Random Tori Chatter topic, since the old one was becoming huge.
Please post everything random (and not newsworthy) about Tori here.
Don't be afraid to start new threads for anything newsworthy which you find relevant for the rest of us to know about.
Enjoy your chatter
Yay! Tori is ready and waiting for all your chatter...
When I saw it was closed, I thought some serious drama had gone down this afternoon and I'd missed it.
Anyway, I don't care what anyone says. I still love the burrito dress. I even love the boots that went with it; I only wish they'd been closed-toe. Then it would've been perfect. And this is the only time the Cheeto wig really worked. Come at me.
I don't love the burrito dress, but I get that she was trying to do something fun and costume-y for Comic Con. I actually think if she had worn high heels and didn't have the cheeto wig, it could've looked kind of cool. As it is, it's just a goofy mess.
That said, it's not like any of us love Tori for her fashion sense. Girl has always had more misses than hits in that department.
To continue a point made at the very end of the first Random Tori Chatter thread, it would be really great for Tori to release piano-only versions of the songs on her next album as bonus tracks/the deluxe edition. Since she did release some tracks from Midwinter Graces solo as an EP, I think there's hope that we could at least get something like that again, if not the entire album.
Menju, it's too much for an opening page!!!!
That second picture is hideous. Actually the whole set that came with it was a trauma for the eye!
"Trauma for the eye"
I apologise, the rest of the page will feature no more such photos. Although during a search for "Tori Amos wig" (I know, what a Saturday night) I came upon a small but scary one where it looks like the wig is literally about to drop off. But I'll save it for Page 2
This remains one of my favorite recent Tori looks. I have no idea WTF she's wearing, but for whatever reason it works for me anyway.
SHE has no idea herself WTF she is wearing (or what they made her wear anyway)
My favourite modern-day Tori is wigless naturally curly hair Tori.
See June 2007 - post-surgery, age 43 and looks really fantastic
This thread is triggering.
Are we ever going to hear "This Might Hurt a Bit" or whatever Tori said the Michael Stipe duet was actually called? I imagine it's probably pretty inconsquential - as Tori never seemed in a rush to capitalize on it or get it out there.
I don't even care that much about her fashion choices, but I have to say that even though the golden puffy sleaves look is horrible, nothing beats that yellow clown suit she wore on tour.

Update – County Attorney Considering Frenchtown Bartender Case [AUDIO]
Missoula County Attorney Fred Van Valkenburg says his office is looking over the case of the Frenchtown bartender who allegedly over-served a patrol who died later that nut in a drunk driving crash.
The body of 27 year-old Josh Carter was eventually found 10 days after he was seen leaving the tavern in Frenchtown. Carter had apparently driven off a steep ravine and his truck landed upside down in an irrigation ditch. Johnson says Carter's blood alcohol level was more than twice the legal limit of 0.08%.
Van Valkenburg says the bartender could be charged with a misdemeanor for serving alcohol to an intoxicated person. He also said in a case like this, the Montana Revenue Department's Liquor Control Board would closely examine the license owned by the tavern itself, whether or not the server was found guilty.
He says the Montana Tavern Owners Association and other organizations work hard to ensure their servers are trained not to over serve their patrons.

1. Please tell us about your background and training and when you became a sole practitioner?
I graduated from NYU School of Medicine and finished a family practice residency at the University of Rochester in 1989. Before opening my micropractice, I had worked in a variety of different settings, including an HMO, community health centers, a university health center and a typical private office practice. I opened my no-staff micropractice in 2004 after reading Gordon Moore's groundbreaking articles on solo-practice and seeing a local colleague succeed with a similar type of practice in Rhode Island.
2. I understand your practice is defined as a "micro practice". Can you explain what you mean by that and how it differs from a traditional practice?
In my particular case, 'micropractice' refers to a small, low overhead, no staff, high tech – high touch practice.
– a small practice (850 patients vs. the usual patient size panel of 1500-3000 patients)
– that because of low overhead (25-30% of gross collections vs. usual 60%, attributable to not paying staff salaries and leveraging computers to run an efficient and effective practice)
– is able to spend adequate amounts of time with the patient during each patient encounter (30-60 minutes vs. the national primary care average of about 7.5 minutes)
– which leads one to be able to better provide the cardinal primary care functions of supplying "access, continuity over time, coordination and comprehensiveness" in a patient centric manner.
3. What led you to make the change from traditional to micro practice?
The current financing model of delivering primary care – cranking on volume of visits to meet overhead and salary – is bankrupt and broken. I wanted to move to a model that would be better for patients and lead to more professional satisfaction for myself. I wanted more control over the way I practiced medicine.
4. When did you start using Amazing Charts (AC) and why did you choose them over other EHR vendors?
One of the key underpinnings of running a micropractice is achieving and maintaining low overhead, (around 30% of gross earnings). I did know that I did NOT want to work just to have to pay for my EHR.
When I first started my practice my AC license cost me just $500. Back in 2004, AC did not have a lot of bells and whistles but as a startup I was nowhere near using the program to its fullest capacity. Starting out is tough! I had the naive idea that with a laptop, an all-in-one, an internet connection and an EHR as the centerpiece of my technology stable, I was set for life. I was blissfully unaware of what my burgeoning technology configuration (see list below) was going to evolve to include, and how many other pieces of technology were going to have to 'play nice' with my EHR. Luckily for me, and because AC is very responsive to requests from users, all of the software pieces that I use integrate well with my EMR, both via formal interfaces and in my informal workflow.
To reiterate, low cost, ease of set up, maintenance and use, and ability to easily integrate with other workflow processes are the EMR qualities that I've found to be essential in my micropractice, and I find that AC meets and often delightfully exceeds these criteria.
Instant Medical History – automated patient entered histories
Updox – document management and patient portal
Paperport – document management
Appointment Quest – online patient entered appointments
EZ Claim – practice management
Zyantus (clearing house) – electronic billing
Shortkeys – macro for documentation
HowsYourHeath – web based patient entered practice quality tool
Brinkster – website hosting
5. Did you have any prior experience using EMRs?
No – actually I had never really used a computer (except for email, and that was a Mac!) before opening my practice in 2004.
6. I understand you are in the process of attesting to Meaningful Use. Was it necessary to upgrade your current EHR in order to meet requirements for MU?
I had to upgrade to the latest version – version 6 to use the wizards that would count up my data.
7. How long have you been working towards MU?
I've been counting data for about 2 months, and am on track to "pass" by month 3.
8. How much additional time is it taking to meet the criteria for attestation?
It takes about 2-5 more minutes per encounter to include the documentation for Meaningful Use.
9. Can you give us an overview of what the process has been like thus far?
Generally speaking, I find it exceptionally vexing to have to spend extra time documenting what I already do for bean counters. I could be using this extra time to actually improve patient care instead of just filling in boxes. Luckily, on a visit by visit level, the MU wizard in my EMR makes it mindless, simple and not too painful to collect the required data and document the required work processes.
10. What changes have you had to make in your practice as a result of meaningful use?
I have not materially had to change office processes, though I have had to change documentation procedures so that items are compiled correctly for MU.
For example: I used to send patient summaries via email to most patients.
5 clicks: copy content – return to demographics screen – open email to patient – paste – send, about 30 seconds.
Now, in order to document that I am sending these summaries for MU, I have to click on the MU box, print that to a secure email, click( 2x )and type (2x ) within the secure email program to attach label and send, wait for the CCD to print and then click to return to the note. 8 steps and some are slightly more than just a click. It all takes about 90 seconds.
Another example – Smoking documentation requires a formal reassessment of the data as MU needs it, but it's usually not the way I've previously free texted it.
It's just a little more cumbersome, might take about 2-5 minutes more per patient encounter.
11. Word is that you're a "paperless office." How do you handle things like the patient intake paperwork to avoid having lots of paper lying around?
Patients send me their clinical histories before every visit electronically using Instant Medical History from my website or from an office kiosk, so I don't use paper for those forms at all.
I do have new patients sign a laminated "HIPAA-consent to bill-consent to email form" – one signature gets it all. Then I scan in the page along with a copy of the insurance card to a file. I rinse off the marker from the laminated sheet under the tap and am ready for the next new patient.
I use EDI interfaces for most labs and some x Rays and consults, and most consultants fax me their information electronically.
Other non interfacing labs and radiology reports come in via paperless fax to a folder on my computer.
If there is a particular consultant or facility that mails me information more than twice, I will call them and ask them, going forward, to fax their information to me.
There are a number of tricks to minimizing use of paper in the office. Having paper embedded into your office routine requires extra labor (opening mail, scanning, shredding, filing, retrieving files) and the expense of storage space and materials.
12. Who has been helping you through the meaningful use process (consultant, your EHR vendor, your REC, etc.)?
Mostly the EHR folks- attended a webinar and then had some back and forth with the developers, as I was an early beta tester for the MU process.
The REC folks came by, but since the processes were in place they just encouraged me to actually decide to apply for MU by dangling the financial rewards in front of me.
13. What would you offer as guidance to your fellow doctors regarding EHR's and obtaining MU status?
If the processes that MU is supposed to document are already in place – if you are already leveraging your EMR to help you in your practice in a meaningful way, then depending on your Medicare/Medicaid revenues/patient mix, it may be worth it to apply. The question there is, are the monies received – or the penalty that you would incur, worth the time it will take you to: 1) learn about the MU program, 2) learn how to use the MU features of the EMR, and, 3) actually do the documentation?
Payout is also dependent on your payer mix and volume of the practice. For example, because my straight Medicare income was about $10K last year, I stand to get, over 4 years, about $22K so, coupling the payment with the curiosity factor of seeing what our cutting edge HIT people are up to, I decided it was almost 'worth it' for me.
If the processes are not in place – items such as, 'you don't use the EMR to collect demographic data' to 'your EMR does not support E-prescribing', then there's the additional work of adopting these processes into your workflow. Again you'd have to weigh the payment against the work of adopting new workflows AND becoming schooled and practiced in MU deployment. This work is not an insignificant burden and many small primary care practices that run with very tight margins and lack breathing room will not be able to succeed.
Of course, if you work for Kaiser or another large group, I would imagine that they would deploy both IT and clinical staff to do this work for you.

Pocketrak 2G – A practical road-testSeptember 12, 2008
The new POCKETRAK 2G Digital Pocket Recorder is ideal for all kinds of audio applications. Rather than simply listing these we thought it would be great to do a proper, real-life road test. This road-test however would not take place in the obvious band or studio environment though….
Yamaha lent one to their own Jean Ketley who put it through its paces during her unique educational stage production. Jean speaks about how she used it during rehearsals and the performance.
Jean said: "I've worked for Yamaha for nearly 27 years and in that time have worked for both the sales side and the Music Schools. Prior to this I was a professional musician and singer for 15 years so it's no surprise to find that in my spare (!) time I run a 20 strong choir. For accompaniment I turn to either a Yamaha digital piano or the Tyros keyboard, but as I conduct as well, I often write arrangements that I then record onto the Tyros to use during performances.
For the past 7 years, working with the choir we have been involved with the local primary school and each year we stage a 2 hour concert there, transforming the hall into a theatre complete with staging, lights, video projection and smoke machine (which is very popular with the children!).
I work with years 5 & 6 – they have their own 15 minute performance of a popular musical, joining the choir in 2 or 3 numbers, competing amongst themselves for a part in the Stars In Their Eyes/X Factor/Pop Idol part of the show which includes my making short, quick fire videos to screen just prior to the performance of each "act".
The new
Pocketrak 2G pocket recorder was an innovation for me this year. I was able to use it in several ways:
As the Pocketrak has its own rechargeable battery, during rehearsal I was able to very simply record the children's performance by placing the Pocketrak on a table in front of them – it's easy one-press record function and the tilt-up microphone stops any sound bouncing from the table top. Then by connecting the recorder using a standard mini-jack lead to the PA or convenient amplifier I could replay the recordings to them and review it instantly – they then understood the need for voice projection etc. I did the same for the 20-strong choir by securing the Pocketrak on to a projector suspended from the ceiling of my music room where we rehearse. The sound quality is simply remarkable thanks to the highly sensitive stereo microphone. It is also possible to attach Pocketrak to a camera tripod which makes placement very simple and convenient.
My videos include voice-overs which I record separately to the filming. Instead of using a mini-disc player and microphone which then have to be recorded to PC, the Pocketrak was much simpler and easier, but more importantly the sound quality was significantly better. Oddly enough I had made a couple of voice-overs on mini-disc prior to testing the Pocketrak but found the method of extracting the sound files was taking too long – to get round this I simply hooked the Pocketrak up to the mini-disc player with one lead and then recorded the files back onto the Pocketrak which I subsequently connected to the PC by its own internal USB connector. So simple!
I also find learning songs a little tedious so always use my in-car driving time to try and learn them on the way home. I would normally record the music with and without vocals onto a CD. However my car only has a cassette player so I have to use a portable CD player which has the separate tape adapter – because the Pocketrak also doubles up as a personal stereo I was able to import my music from a computer into the Pocketrak and by connecting it into the car hi-fi was able to play back. Importing files into the Pocketrak is also extremely simple – I just connect the inbuilt USB connector to the computer and drag and drop either WAV files or MP3 files into the Pocketrak which appears like an external drive. The file name shows in the playback window so it's easy to recognize each piece. I could see that this could be helpful to drama students learning lines too; and of course if I wanted to remind myself of a task to do I could also use it as a Dictaphone – it has several folders which allows work to be recorded and stored in an organized fashion…..crucial for anyone working in education.
During the live show performance I had planned to connect Pocketrak directly to the mixing desk but since we had a professional in who used a DAT recorder I simply positioned the Pocketrak on top of the mixing desk and recorded the ambient sound – very live.
I see this device as an invaluable tool for recording performance (including GCSE & A level); for evaluating rehearsal; for learning; for easy playback and saving data. And it's so easy – you don't have to be a "Techie" to do it!"

Horror movie stars are headed to the Queen City and the Haunted Mill in Belmont is set to offer up plenty of scares and thrills.
The attraction on Wilkinson Boulevard is taking the frights on the road, creating a walk-through experience at the Blake Hotel in Charlotte for the Mad Monster Party.
The annual horror convention offers a film festival, movie collectibles exhibit, dealer room with ghoulish wares and the chance to mingle with more than 60 film and television actors.
Lea Thompson of �Back to the Future,� Danny Glover of �Lethal Weapon,� and Gary Busey, star of the 1978 film �The Buddy Holly Story,� are scheduled to appear.
�Metallica� guitarist Kirk Hammett also will make an appearance.
Celebrities who are interested will walk through the Haunted Mill�s exhibit and spend time with fans as they sign autographs and pose for pictures.
Kevin Blanchfield, owner of the Haunted Mill and an organizer of Mad Monster Party, said a family version of the walk-through Haunted Mill exhibit will be open during each day and an �unrated� version begins later in the evening for 18 and up.
�It�s a lot more scary and much more intense,� he said.
Props and materials including Styrofoam urns, paint cans and a coffin were taken from the Haunted Mill to Charlotte on Thursday.
�Jaws� reunion
A collection of evil puppets used in movie productions will be on display, along with memorabilia from the 1975 film �Jaws.� Five actors and production crew members from the Steven Spielberg movie plan to reunite at Mad Monster Party to sign autographs and talk at a panel discussion for fans on Saturday.
Among those is actress Susan Backlinie, whose character Chrissie became the shark�s first victim during a late-night swim, and artist Roger Kastle, who painted the iconic image of a vicious shark used as the movie�s poster.
Other celebrities scheduled to attend Mad Monster Party: �KISS� drummer Peter Criss, Gunner Hansen from �The Texas Chainsaw Massacre� and Danielle Harris and Tyler Mane from the �Halloween� movie franchise.
Some stars are scheduled to appear all weekend; others will only be available to sign autographs for a couple of hours.

Listen NASA, we understand that 'kind of' being there in person is a better way to explore Mars. But with your recent budget cuts you can save hundreds of millions of dollars by just ordering and passing out a few of these Cyrus Klepcys Mars watches to your scientists.
In the lower right corner of the watch's face they'll find a miniature version of the red planet that rotates at the same speed as the real thing. Taking slightly longer than the Earth to make a full rotation at 24 hours, 37 minutes and 22 seconds. And in addition to red accents all over the watch's face, it also bears an image of the famous Martian face as captured by the Viking 1 explorer back in 1976.
Sadly, Cyrus only intends to produce 66 limited edition pieces of this design. So while they won't be as expensive as the Spirit or Opportunity rovers, they're probably still going to be outside your current budget restraints. [Cyrus via Unique Watch Guide]

The Contest
Continuing the "alcohol and rectal foreign bodies" theme, I will add this little story. Early one morning a few years ago, a skinny gentleman came to the ED complaining that he had something stuck in his ass. He was intoxicated, and did not seem that uncomfortable, either with the anal foreign body, or the situation. After reviewing the xrays and talking to the gentleman, it turns out he had the entire attachment to a vacuum cleaner stuck up there. You know, the one that gets into those hard to reach areas in your furniture. His drunk buddies had bet him $40 that he couldn't fit it in. Even on the way to the OR, all he could say is "I won the bet!". Yes, you did.

(Reuters) - Citigroup Inc (C.N) is on track to cut 300 sales and trading jobs globally this year, as part of its plan to streamline its banking operations, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing people briefed on the process.
The sales and trading unit of the bank employs about 17,000 people, the Journal said. (link.reuters.com/kyz93t)
A Citigroup spokeswoman declined to comment specifically on the latest round of cuts but said the company had "been making targeted headcount reductions throughout the year in certain businesses and functions across Citi as part of our efforts to control expenses during the current environment", the Journal said.
U.S. banks have resorted to measures like jobs cuts and shutting down of branches amid lower mortgage rates and pressure from government agencies to buy back bad loans made during housing boom of the previous decade before the financial crisis erupted in 2008.
Reuters could not immediately reach Citi for comment.

News, notes and quotes following Tom Cable's press conference Monday following a 20-19 win over the Denver Broncos:
— One of the most consistent complaints among Raiders fans concerning Cable's use of personnel is the underutilization of running back Michael Bush.
Bush gained 133 yards on 18 carries and had a 23-yard touchdown run against Denver, owns each of the last three 100-yard games by an Oakland runner and is currently the Raiders leading rusher with 519 yards on 103 carries, and has the best yards per carry average at 5.0.
Yet Bush vanishes for long stretches _ he carried only four times for nine yards in the previous three games and didn't get a single touch in a 34-13 loss to Washington.
I said to Cable that people wonder why he simply doesn't commit to 15 or more carries for Bush per game and work from there.
"I do that too, sometimes, really,'' Cable said.
Bottom line?
"The real issue is we have gotten ourselves in a turnover issue or (have fallen behind) and it's taken us away from that,'' Cable said. "That's not fair to anybody, but it is what it is, and that's the situation we have to eliminate. When that happens I think we'll see whoever getting it 15, 20 shots at it.''
Cable said fumbles have not affected his judgment about how he uses the backs. Both Bush and McFadden quickly got carries following fumbles against Denver.
— As promising as it was for JaMarcus Russell to come through against Denver with the game on the line, it's apparent enough things went wrong on the two prior series that Cable isn't considering reinstating him as the starter unless absolutely necessary.
"What I'm proud of him is kind of persevering and he made the ones that counted right there at the end to get it done, and that's a big deal for him personally,'' Cable said. "I think it's good for his teammates to see him go in there in that situation and get it done when it really had to get done.''
The quarterback situation will be come clear Wednesday, and Cable wouldn't yet rule out Bruce Gradkowski. If Gradkowski were to recover sufficiently and miss only a single game with two MCL tears, aside from being a medical miracle, he'd be the starting quarterback.
Since Frye is the choice to start (assuming Gradkowski can't play) if he passes neurological exams following a concussion, it makes sense he would be the backup. Presumably, Russell's game ball will keep him ahead of J.P. Losman.
— While Frye's stats were unimpressive (9-for-17, 68 yards, a 38.4 passer rating), Cable gave him a "B'' and thought he was two throws away _ deep passes to Chaz Schilens and Louis Murphy _ from an exceptional game.
On both throws, Cable said Frye had gotten a safety out of position and took legitimate deep shots. He also lauded Frye for taking over when the helmet radio went out and called plays based on his personnel groups with no sign of panic.
— Asked about how he has responded to all the off-field aspects which blindsided his first full year as Raiders coach, as well as dealing with a makeshift offensive line and quarterback problems, Cable cited the work ethic of his team and his belief things are turning for the better.
"I knew the truth and trusted the system, and it's worked the way it's supposed to,'' Cable said. "My passion for turning this thing around and going to the playoffs with the Oakland Raiders is the coolest thing to me.
"I want that more than anything, and it's not going to happen this year, but it's going ot happen soon.''
— Sunday's win was Cable's most satisfying because "of the quarterback issue'' and the fact that "nobody blinked. I think that's what makes you who you're becoming and makes you a champion.''
— Aside from Russell, who Cable said following the game had won a game ball, other recipients were Bush and Tony Stewart on offense, cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha, middle linebacker Kirk Morrison and defensive end Greg Ellis on defense, and Sebastian Janikowski on special teams.
After the loss of Brandon Myers to a concussion, Stewart was responsible for lining up emergency tight end Erik Pears, an offensive lineman whose girth added to the Raiders rushing attack that finished with a season-high 241 yards on 34 carries.
Stewart also had three receptions for 27 yards, including an 11-yard first down catch on fourth-and-10 on the final drive.
Pears had studied up on playing tight end in an emergency but hadn't taken a single rep there during the week.
"We kind of did it by the seat of our pants and he made it work,'' Cable said.
— Greg Ellis didn't practice until Friday and estimates he played only 30 snaps, a schedule he will probably continue throughout the season.
"The Cincinnati game I think I made a mistake because I played 61 plays coming back less than two weeks off a scoped knee and shoulder,'' Ellis said. "Probably wasn't the smartest thing to do. That probably set me back some.''
— Cable said he hoped Darrius Heyward-Bey would be on the field running this week. He said an ankle injury to cornerback Chris Johnson and knee sprains to Cooper Carlisle and Justin Fargas seemed relatively minor.
Tight end Brandon Myers will join Frye and Zach Miller in line at the computer taking tests to determine if they can return from concussions.

Abstract: This article examines the effect of variation - in the geographical operations - of international business operations on experiential knowledge development in the internationalization of the firm. Based on learning theory, this article develops five hypotheses on the effects of variation on three interrelated components of international experiential knowledge: internationalization knowledge, business knowledge and institutional knowledge. The LISREL analysis indicates that variation has a positive effect on the accumulation of experiential knowledge in internationalizing firms. In particular, it demonstrates that internationalization knowledge is a key variable which mediates the effect of variation on the other two knowledge variables. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6917

Excellence in Publications
At WRI, we are committed to providing high quality research. Our publications are held to traditional "academic" standards of excellence such as rigor and objectivity, and also must be timely, fit for audience, and rooted in a strategic plan for achieving positive change in the world. They also must align with WRI's mission and values: integrity, innovation, urgency, independence, and respect.
The items appearing on WRI's Publications page generally fall into one of four categories: reports, issue briefs, working papers, and technical notes. The review process for each of these categories is described below.
Reports and Issue Briefs
Reports and issue briefs are subjected to an extensive process of both internal and external peer review with topic experts, target audience members, and avowed critics. The Office of Science & Research runs this independent review process, with input from the director of the relevant program, center, or international office.
Working Papers
WRI working papers are intended to serve as a means of communicating work that is still in progress. In many cases, working papers consist of research requiring broad exposure and stakeholder feedback before it can be finalized as a report or issue brief. At other times, they serve as a means for responding to time sensitive, rapidly evolving opportunities, such as analysis of a draft standard, or of country positions in an international process.
Working papers undergo a customized review process determined by the director of the relevant country office or topic area, which generally includes some form of both internal and external peer review.
Technical Notes
Technical notes are publications documenting a research or analytical methodology that underpins a published WRI report, interactive map, or data product.
Technical notes undergo a customized review process determined by the director of the relevant country office or topic area, which generally includes some form of external review and limited internal review.
For more information about WRI's review procedures, please contact Emilia Suarez.

As a kid (or, let's be honest, even as an a adult), nothing is more thrilling than getting to venture into an airline pilot's coveted cockpit throne. But if Arbus' new cockpit-less patents ever become a reality, those days are behind us. Because let's face it—a "tour of the baggage locker" just doesn't have quite the same ring to it.
Cockpits may be a mainstay of the modern aircraft, but as far as space-saving aerodynamics go, they're a major drag. The big, sweeping windows you see in flight decks severely interfere with the ideal, scalpel-like shape of an airplane's nose. What's more, windows that big require some major reinforcements at high altitudes, all of which adds a hefty bit of weight to the aircraft. But most importantly—at least in the aircraft carriers' eyes—having a cockpit in the front of the cabin takes away prime, first class real estate.
Instead of using conventional cockpits and windows, Airbus wants to move pilots out of the nose and have them rely entirely on electronic view screens. Thanks to a combination of onboard cameras and pre-stored data, the new design would effectively "immerse the pilot in a three-dimensional universe."
For example, when the aircraft is in locomotion on the ground and approaches a parking place in an airport, the projected image may be formed by a 3D reconstitution of the airport, stored in a data bank stored in a computer server on the ground, or captured by a video camera, in which reconstitution are embedded images termed circumstantial images, representing any obstacles currently present in the outside scene (such as an aircraft present at another parking place for example or any other vehicle passing within the zone), these incidental images coming from data supplied by an airport management service or by a video camera of the airport.
While all of that does sound vastly superior to plain old windows, none of it would be of much use should the cameras ever get knocked offline. Of course, with autopilot doing a decent share of the flying these days, there are hopefully enough fallbacks in place to render a camera outage (or two) a non-issue.
It's important to note that this is still just a patent and could very well never make its way into the real world. Plus, it's hard to imagine a world where passengers would feel psychologically at-ease knowing that their pilot has no literal window into the outside world.
Then again, airlines don't exactly have the best reputation when it comes to pleasing passengers over pinching pennies. So who knows, someday soon, we may very well be seeing a whole lot less of our pilots—and vice versa. [United States Patent and Trademark Office via The Consumerist]

Asked by Priti, New York
I'm 6 months pregnant, and I've heard that I shouldn't sleep on my back anymore. Is this true, and why?
Living Well Expert
Dr. Jennifer Shu
Children's Medical Group
In the third trimester, the weight from the uterus may lead to backaches and discomfort while sleeping, so many women find it more comfortable to lie on one side.
It might be helpful to put a pillow between your legs and bend your knees so you can better stay in that position. Using a body pillow for support can also help.
Avoiding sleeping flat on one's back can help prevent the weight of the growing baby and a woman's other organs from pressing upon the inferior vena cava (the large vein that returns blood flow to the heart) -- a situation that can lead to low blood pressure and make a woman feel dizzy or lightheaded.
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists does not specify lying on one side over the other as being better.
However, some people suggest that lying on the left side is preferable because it may improve blood flow to the uterus, although I am unaware of any studies showing an actual ultimate benefit to the baby. It basically comes down to which side is most comfortable for you.
For more information and the best advice regarding your own pregnancy, be sure to check with your OB or midwife. Good luck!
