She rarely consents to interviews, but boxing judge Julie Lederman gave us a full 30 minutes of her time on Sunday, March 24, 2013, to talk about her worldwide adventures as a world-class boxing judge, the techniques and philosophies of her profession, life with a certain "unnofficial ringside judge" who also happens to be her Hall of Fame father, and what it's like to leave a boxing arena with somebody else's blood spackling her blonde hair.
This is an honest, colorful and fascinating look into her life and career.

Art House: Duke Asidare's "Mental Space" Exhibition
Guardian, 17 July 2016
How Asidere expands protest art with Mental Space
Punch, June 30, 2016
Asidere transforms expensive tomato into lovely art
Oh sweet rain I awake
Black night thunder tropical rhythm flashes drumming against patterned dreams
Rain Dance!
My heart leaps back to sweet schooldays
Early morning lightning
Thunder clap reverberating through high ceilings
Heralding cool dripping
Splashing through shallow pools of soft grass
Warm wet bare foot laughter
clay cooled vapor rising from red earth
heady mornings bringing renewal
On rain nights
insects drone and crash against steamy security lights
Mouthwatering delicacy – nostalgic crunch
Today I live in an urban jungle
Rain dance becomes rain dirge.
floods cover cavernous potholes
ready to ambush worn tires.
Miserable cars come to an exhausted spluttering stop
slow death in choking tail light traffic
Laboriously crawling along
Wet hours punctuated by struggling window wipers
Rolled up trousers of commuting office clerks
expensive Sunday hairdos covered
by dripping black plastic bags
soaking stranded passengers
all 500 bodies pushing to occupy 35 seats
of a Lagos metro bus with one tail light missing
tempers flaring, abuses raining
carbon choking fumes
a body lies sprawled out on the curb of a 6 lane highway
is it a beggar adrift in village memories?
a tired area boy sleeping off a crack head operation?
or a down trodden graduate
finally giving up jobless hell hole days?
Giving up and letting go?
Groaning wipers, uneven struggle to keep up with
intensifying sheet rain
pelting . Unrelenting.
I close my eyes to mega city blues
My heart skips in childhood rain dance
fast winged bird flight
mist rising through smoky breeze
leaves rustle and bow to yet another wave
sweet Spirit filled rain
let me rise on soft
wings unfurled.
Lagos, May 17, 2010
I dare you
I double dare you
Look into my eyes
Look into them and deceive me
Let us live in the same world
Let us experience the same things
But in the end
Don't lie to me
In the end
Don't tell me
it was not what it seemed
She carries the world on her shoulders
embellished by the patterns she flaunts on her back
As if the load was meant for her alone
In everything she stands
truly and utterly flawless

Sørensen, Carsten; Trolle, Anders Bjerre (København, 2004)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: We derive an explicit solution to the portfolio problem of a power utility investor with preferences for wealth at a ¯nite investment horizon. The investor can invest in assets with return dynamics described as part of a general multivariate model. The modeling framework encompasses discrete-time VAR-models where some of the state-variables (e.g. expected excess returns) may not be directly observable. A realistic multivariate model is estimated and applied to analyze the portfolio implications of investment horizon and return predictability when real interest rates and expected excess returns on stock and bonds are not directly observed but must be estimated as part of the problem faced by the investor. The solution exhibits small variability in portfolio allocations over time compared to the case when excess returns are assumed observable.

Craft beer culture is not the only one brewing in basements around Colorado. With the DIY revolution, local companies are sprouting from passions for pickling, canning and concocting home-fermented goodness.
Mike Burns, co-founder of Beer Craving and organizer of Chef-N-Brew and the South Denver Beer Festival, organized the Fermentation Festival and Market to show more Denver residents the possibilities and health benefits of at-home fermentation projects.
The festival is this weekend, Aug. 24 and 25, at Highlands Masonic Center, 3550 Federal Blvd.

RICHMOND, Va. -- What could have caused bright lights in the sky that prompted hundreds of calls to the National Weather Service and emergency officials?
Geoff Chester, an astronomer at the U.S. Naval Observatory, believes the flashes of light were none other than space junk from a recently launched mission to the International Space Station.
He said pieces from the launch were supposed to fall back down to earth between 6 p.m. Sunday and 6 a.m. Monday, so it fits into the time frame of what people saw.
Callers from Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina described brilliant, streaking lights followed by an explosion-like sound around 9:45 p.m. Sunday.
The Prince George's County Fire Department said it received its first call at 9:41 p.m. from the southern part of the Maryland county. The caller's report, as taken by the 911 dispatcher: "SAW A ROCKET OR COMET COME OUT THE SKY AND DROPPED ONTO THE EARTH, IT WAS A BALL OF FIRE COMING FROM THE SKY." The caller gave a possible location of Missouri Avenue and Route 301 in Brandywine, Md.
The next four 911 calls came almost at the same moment and about 1 minute and 30 seconds after the initial call in Brandywine.
The second caller reported: "BRIGHT LIGHTS IN THE SKY, IT MAY BE A PLANE OR HELICOPTOR ON FIRE FALLING TO THE GROUND." This location was reported at Ardmore Road and Jefferson Street in the Landover area.
At the same time a caller in the Lanham area reported: "SAW SOMETHING FALL FROM THE SKY - GREENISH COLOR FIRE - MAYBE A COMET COMING DOWN FROM THE SKY - NO SOUNDS HEARD - NOTHING BURNING ON GROUND." This location was reported at Fowler Lane and Whitfield Chapel Road.
At the same time a 911 caller travelling on the Capital Beltway near Route 50 reported: "I SAW A BALL OF FIRE COMING DOWN FROM THE SKY NEAR THE TREE LINE."
On-Star connected a caller reporting: "SHE SAW SOMETHING FALLING OUT OF THE SKY" at Landover Road and Old Landover Road.
The fire department responded to all five reports, but their searches came up empty.
Virginia residents from Hampton Roads to Richmond reported seeing "great balls of fire" lighting up the sky in shades of yellow, white orange and blue. Some described the explosion as sounding like thunder.
Several calls came to Richmond International Airport, but spokesman Troy Bell said tower workers did not see anything unusual.
The weather service said no damage was reported.
This latest round of strange sightings comes six weeks after the FAA declared that a fireball seen over Texas skies was a natural phenomenon -- not flying space junk.
If you captured any pictures or video of the mysterious lights, please send them to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Academic Credits
Each course is assigned a number of credits based on the time obligated for formal enrollment in that course. The allocation of credits is normally according to the following formula:
One credit represents a) one hour of classroom work per week; or b) two or three hours of laboratory per week; c) three to five hours of clinical experience per week; d) three hours of practicum experience per week; or e) three to six internship hours per week plus two or more hours of student work outside of class each week for 15-16 weeks. For complete information, see the Academic Policies of the Community College System of New Hampshire.
In certain instances a student who has been accepted into a degree program may present evidence that would suggest that he or she may be eligible to receive credit for a course or courses either through aggregate educational experience or through some combination of occupational experiences. In such cases, an application for a credit-by-examination must be made within the first two weeks of a semester and be approved by the student's Department Chair.
The head of the department offering the course will assign a faculty member who will discuss the subject area to be tested with the student and administer the test. A fee is required from the student for each examination administered under this policy. The fee is $25 per credit hour. The credit-by-examination will be comprehensive in nature.
Grades for credit-by-examination will be either "pass" (E grade) or "no pass," with full course credit granted for a grade of "E" (pass). Prior to 2005, students who passed a credit-by-examination were issued a "P" grade.
If a student passes the exam, using criteria developed by the respective department, appropriate credit(s) shall be applied to the student's academic record and a notation entered on the student's transcript indicating successful completion. Since a traditional grade (A-F) is not entered, the Credit by Exam is not calculated into the student's grade point average (GPA). If the student fails to pass the exam, no entry is made on the academic transcript but a record of the unsuccessful completion will be maintained in the student's file. A student who receives a grade of "No Pass" on a Credit by Exam will be ineligible for another Credit by Exam in that course and must successfully complete the course as needed to fulfill program requirements. A student who has previously received a failing grade in a course (or less than "C" for transfer) may not request credit-by-examination in that course. See Program Residency Requirement. Program Residency Requirements Policy Financial Aid does not cover courses for which a student earns credit through Credit by Examination.
College-Level Examination Program (CLEP)
CLEP exams are available in 34 college-level introductory subjects and are administered at NHTI. CLEP testing is one way students can demonstrate their knowledge and competency in a subject area and earn college credit. NHTI recognizes competency demonstrated through certain CLEP subject exams in such subject areas as English, the humanities, social sciences-history, and calculus.
Credit for prior learning offers students the opportunity to demonstrate the knowledge they have gained through life experiences and apply this knowledge towards credit in a degree/professional certificate/certificate program. To prepare for this option, students will develop a portfolio to be assessed by appropriate college personnel. A student must be matriculated in an NHTI program to be eligible to apply for experiential credit. Not all programs provide the experiential credit option; students should consult with their respective colleges for eligible programs and the process used for application.
Students may be awarded a maximum of 24 credits for experiential learning.
Students will be assessed a fee based on 50% of the current tuition rate on the total credits awarded (e.g., for 12 credits awarded: 0.50 x current tuition rate x 12 credits).
Financial Aid does not cover courses for which a student earns credit through Experiential Learning.

Production process and production-integrated measuring technology is clearly reflected in our attention to quality. The most diverse workflows are dovetailed and consistently enhanced.
This is most evident in parts production and with our correspondingly high-precision measuring technology – where component tolerances in the micrometer range are absolutely feasible. These are secured using state-of-the-art, multi-coordinate measuring systems, such as 3D coordinate measuring devices, shape measurement systems, white-light interferometers, computertomographs, as well as flow and automatic function test benches. Automatic data acquisition and documentation of critical features are standard with us – sometimes even integrated in the production process.
By means of an automated process, we also conduct a purity analysis of our components in terms of metallic and non-metallic particles. Among other things, the number, size and type of particles are studied in detail. In this context, we also analyze all media used in the manufacturing process and examine them for contamination, as well as concentration, conductivity and pH values. We also evaluate oil viscosities and identify bacteria or fungi in cooling lubricants.
In addition to purity and media analyses, we use our high-precision measuring systems for continuous production monitoring, production releases and for special investigations.

"This is an invitation for you to make a real difference, to play your part in the wave of awakening and healing that is sweeping our planet….Whether it be on a physical, emotional or behavioral level, The Journey gives you the means to bring about a REAL transformation in your life..." – Brandon Bays
These are excerpts from the homepage of " The Journey" website. But, what is The Journey, and who is Brandon Bays?
I'll answer the 2nd question first: Brandon Bays is an internationally acclaimed, best-selling author, speaker and mind-body healing expert who has utilized her life-altering challenges as catalysts for profound healing and change – not only for herself, but now, for anyone who cares to avail themselves of this potentially life changing work.
Many years ago, Brandon was working for an internationally renowned organization as director of its health and wellness division. Then the unthinkable happened: her belly mysteriously began to swell – and before long it was determined that she had a basketball sized-tumor in her uterus. This tumor, which (aside from being life threatening in and of itself) was causing significant hemorrhaging. Her doctor wanted to schedule surgery the next day. But Brandon, otherwise the picture of health and maintaining the highest standards in healthy living, nutritionally and otherwise, knew in her heart there had to be a better way. More than that, she believed that this tumor was there to teach her something, and she was going to be its student. So she asked her doctor for a month to try to tackle this naturally. The doctor thought she was suicidal and told her that no one with this condition went without surgery and lived to tell about it. But Brandon was adamant, so they struck a deal: the doctor agreed that if Brandon could stop the hemorrhaging within 3 days, she'd give her the month.
Thanks to herbal medicals given to her by a holistic practitioner, Brandon's hemorrhaging did indeed cease within 3 days…and her healing journey began. I don't want to give away too much, because it's all in her book, " The Journey," which chronicles with brutal honestly and raw candor her amazing journey (hence, the title!). What I will tell you is that in that month, the tumor practically dissolved, and by 6½ weeks after being told she might not have a month to live, she was given a clean bill of health – in fact, that she was "in better health than most women half her age." There was no trace of the tumor, nor any indication that it had ever been there. This was accomplished entirely without standard medical interventions (i.e. chemotherapy, surgery, or radiation).Through her transforming experience from suffering to triumph, combined with her years of training and experience in mind-body healing such as NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming), Journeywork was born.
Remarkably, as if the tumor and the subsequent complete and seemingly miraculous recovery weren't enough, over the next few years Brandon experienced several other devastating, life altering challenges (see her book). Once again, she responded to these shocking, traumatic losses with the same tenacity and conviction that every challenge, whether physical, emotional, internal or "external," is but a blessing in disguise. Journeywork continued to evolve as she made her way through these awesome challenges. Brandon pressed on, driven by the desire to develop a simple and straightforward program that would enable anyone to access the higher self she believed such challenges were custom designed to bring forth.
Ultimately, Brandon developed and continues to fine tune a process that she named The Journey, or Journeywork. It's a step by step process, potenially very profound and even life changing. Brandon initially tested her Journey process model in 1994 with a group of 18 participants, in a friend's sitting room in Mosman, Australia. Since that time, Journeywork has been expanding worldwide and is currently being conducted in over 30 countries, recognized internationally as one of the most powerful healing processes available today. It has been used in schools, churches, hospitals, prisons, addiction centers; by health professionals and laymen alike. The book has been translated into 20 different languages. In 2007 & 2008 alone, The Journey spread their work to 12 new countries.
This process can be used by anyone who wishes to help themselves, their loved ones or clients overcome life's obstacles, large or small; mental, emotional, or physical. The basic concepts and technique are described in great detail (including the original scripts) in Brandon's book, " The Journey."
What do people who've experienced The Journey Intensive have to say? One participant who attended an Intensive in Denver immediately called her friend in Detroit and told her "You have to go on an Intensive - NOW!!" One long time practitioner of the process – and many others who have experienced Journeywork and/or the Intensive, use one word to describe it: "Freedom." One telling statement is that at the recent July Detroit Intensive, about 11 or so "trainers," all Journey Grads" (meaning they've attended at least a Journey Intensive in the past), feel so strongly about the work and it's impact and importance it that they attended at their own expense, volunteering two long days of their time for no reason other than their great love of and appreciation for the work, and their intense desire to share it with others.
There were some other responses as well; Larry said, "It's emotionally...challenging. But it's good stuff." "It's absolutely amaaaaazing," gushed Marcia. Laura expressed, "I'll be honest: It's brutal, it's messy. It may be "simple,' but it's not easy - but it is potentially very powerful, it's very real. I do feel it's ultimately healing. But, I'm not experiencing it the way some others seem to - and I've experienced other modalities that I honestly prefer; they're quicker, cleaner, and claim to accomplish the same goal: cleaning house and reprogramming at a cellular layer. From my experience of them, they're at least as effective, and not nearly as painful. Different strokes for different folks, I guess. Yet another participant, a trainer who's been attending Intensives for years, said, "You know, I've been doing this for years and I can't say I've every really "dropped" into that sort of euphoric, expansive place of oneness and Source energy - Maybe I have, maybe I haven't, but you know what? It really doesn't matter. It still works. I keep coming back because it's amazing work, it's helped me so much."
The Journey has helped thousands worldwide to uncover and reconnect to the pure, peaceful, loving core that is their very essence, and their lives are forever transformed.

The City of Portland's Barron Center was recently identified as a top performing skilled nursing facility by the American College of Health Care Administrators (ACHCA). Each year, The ACHCA recognizes top performers with the Eli Pick Facility Leadership Award, which is a significant achievement as only 11% of facilities nationwide qualify. Quality indicators, occupancy, and three years of survey data are used to identify facilities for the award.
"The Barron Center prides itself on providing care that meets the individualized needs of all those we serve," said Ryan Francis, the Barron Center's Administrator. "In all areas of care, our team strives not only to meet quality standards but exceed them as well. This award showcases the efforts of our team and has set a new standard for us to continue, and, ultimately exceed."
The Barron Center has provided skilled nursing and rehabilitation services to individuals in need for more than 200 years in our community. Ryan Francis was recently named the new Administrator.

Ethan: I'm sure you have read about the new immigration proposal from four Republican and four Democratic U.S. senators. It increases border security and employment verification in exchange for a path to citizenship for all undocumented immigrants currently in the United States. A good sign from my perspective is that conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh is all up in arms about it. Must be a good plan!
Phil: It appears that our challenge with millions of people illegally in our country is going to be solved in a matter of a few months now that the president and the Senate have reached consensus to solve the problem. Wonder how the people who obeyed the law, followed the difficult procedures and paid significant sums of money to get here legally are going to feel.
Ethan: Well, my paternal great grandparents got here legally (my mother's side goes back to the pilgrims), and I suspect they would be fine with granting amnesty. Especially since, back in their day all you needed to get into the United States was a doctor who said you didn't have smallpox. If only it was as easy for today's immigrants as it was for the Irish, French, Italians and Jews of yesteryear.
Phil: My family, which fought in the battles of Lexington, Concord and the Civil War, and worked on the railroad, in textiles and as shoemakers, would likely agree…
Ethan: Your ancestors made shoes! No wonder you always look so sharp.
Phil: …with this distinction. Immigrants of yesteryear came here to work for a better life. Unlike anywhere else on the planet, if you come to America you can become an American. I don't think you or I could emigrate to Saudi Arabia and be welcomed as a Saudi. My point is: Becoming an American should include understanding and obeying the laws that made the U.S. great.
Ethan: And 99 percent of immigrants in America today agree. They are law-abiding residents working to build their lives, while strengthening our economy. Just like our ancestors who arrived here to build and fight for this country.
Phil: Then why does the president report there are 11 million people here illegally? That's a lot of people to identify, process and follow up on as they make their way toward legal status. Do you suppose he will propose a new department to manage this?
Ethan: Actually, the growth in government will come almost exclusively from the new agents needed to patrol our borders, from the increased production and operation of the security drones and from the government agents newly enlisted to track people who overstay their temporary visa. Can I assume that this is growth in government you believe in?
Phil: Yes, I just insist they make reductions elsewhere to go with that growth! Speaking of that, will it also lessen the fiscal crisis we are experiencing with illegal aliens drawing on our welfare benefits, courts and schools?
Ethan: Well, there's less of a fiscal crisis than most on the right like to claim, but indeed the budgetary impacts should be quite positive. Taking folks out of the shadows means they will be more complete contributors. By no longer working under the table, they'll contribute more fully to Social Security and Medicare and will fully pay income taxes. Plus, their employers will have to do the same. Gaining new citizens is good for our country and our budgets.
Phil: For all the George W. Bush bashing you folks engage in, isn't it remarkable that the current proposal is almost identical to the one the former president presented to Congress?
Ethan: Well, if you're referring to his 2005 plan, which was very close to the proposal laid out this week, then I agree. However, you are accusing the wrong devil of misdeeds. Republicans in the House trashed and killed that proposal.
Phil: I was referring to the 2007 version.
Ethan: Then I disagree. Democrats killed that plan because it looked nothing like the recent compromise proposal. Its path to citizenship was more cumbersome than our current rules and almost impossible to achieve. And its enforcement provisions were mostly about building more prison beds.
Phil: Actually it was more about a guest worker program your union buddies vehemently objected to. Be that as it may, my special interest is to resolve this issue, finally. In 1986 President Ronald Reagan orchestrated immigration reform that essentially gave 2.7 million illegal aliens amnesty. We were told this would solve the problem and put our immigration policy on a firm and enforceable path. Instead we now have 11 million more people here illegally!
Ethan: Unfortunately, I doubt we will ever put the issue of immigration totally to rest. Not until we decide to see immigration as an opportunity, as opposed to a problem. And not until the children of yesterday's immigrants stop bashing the immigrants of today.
Phil: The plan the Senate proposed maybe does just that, without undermining security. How it handles people with criminal backgrounds, its requirements for learning English and civics, and the need for people to have a history of work makes the plan smarter. If we enforce these essential elements we may actually be on our way to a more prosperous future.
Ethan: J'espere bien!
Phil: So much for requiring English. You're hopeless.

|The Mental Health Provider's Role in a Client's Request for a Reasonable Accommodation at Work
|Date Issued
|General Topics
|This document addresses reasonable accommodation under the ADA and mental health care providers' roles in the accommodation process.
|Date Posted
|Statutes/Authorities Involved
|ADA, Rehabilitation Act, 29 CFR Part 1630
|Health Care Providers, Employees, Employers, Applicants, HR Practitioners
The contents of this document do not have the force and effect of law and are not meant to bind the public in any way. This document is intended only to provide clarity to the public regarding existing requirements under the law or agency policies.
Many people with common mental health conditions have a right to a reasonable accommodation at work under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). When requesting accommodations, clients may sometimes need supporting documentation from their mental health providers. This Fact Sheet briefly explains the law of reasonable accommodation and the mental health provider's role in the accommodation process.
1. What Is the ADA?
The ADA is a federal law that prohibits employers with 15 or more employees from discriminating on the basis of disability, and gives employees and job applicants with disabilities a right to a reasonable accommodation at
work. It also provides rights outside the employment context, not discussed here.
2. What Is a Reasonable Accommodation?
A reasonable accommodation is a change in the way things are normally done at work that enables an individual to do a job, apply for a job, or enjoy equal access to a job's benefits and privileges. Common reasonable
accommodations include altered break and work schedules (e.g., scheduling work around medical appointments), time off for treatment, changes in supervisory methods (e.g., providing written
instructions, or breaking tasks into smaller parts), eliminating a non-essential (or marginal) job function that someone cannot perform because of a disability, and telework. Where an employee has been working
successfully in a job but can no longer do so because of a disability, the ADA also may require reassignment to a vacant position that the employee can perform. These are just examples; employees are free to request, and
employers are free to suggest, other modifications or changes.
3. Does My Client Need to Have a Particular Condition to Get a Reasonable Accommodation?
A reasonable accommodation may be obtained for any condition that would, if left untreated, "substantially limit" one or more major life activities, which include brain/neurological functions and activities such as communicating,
concentrating, eating, sleeping, regulating thoughts or emotions, caring for oneself, and interacting with others. (The client does not actually have to stop treatment. The client's symptoms in the absence of treatment are merely
considered in order to determine whether the person has a "disability" under the ADA.)
A condition does not have to result in a high degree of functional limitation to be "substantially limiting." It may qualify by, for example, making activities more difficult, uncomfortable, or time-consuming
to perform compared to the way that most people perform them. Further, if the client's symptoms come and go, what matters is how limiting they would be when present. Federal regulations say that some disorders should easily be found to
be disabilities, including major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, and schizophrenia. Other conditions may also qualify depending on the individual's symptoms.
Additionally, an individual may qualify for a reasonable accommodation if he or she has had a substantially limiting impairment in the past.
The ADA, however, does not protect individuals currently engaging in the illegal use of drugs, where an employer takes an action based on such use. Someone with alcoholism or who was addicted to drugs in the past may be
entitled to a reasonable accommodation, such as time off for treatment. However, the ADA specifically says that employers are not required to tolerate employees using or being under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs on the job, or
unsatisfactory performance or conduct relating to the use of alcohol or illegal drugs.
4. What Kind of Reasonable Accommodation Could My Client Get?
If your client has a disability, the employer is legally required to provide a reasonable accommodation that would help your client do the job. If more than one accommodation would work, the employer may choose which one to
provide. However, an employer cannot be required to provide an accommodation that is simply unreasonable on its face (that is, not plausible or feasible), or that would cause significant financial or operational difficulty. It also never
has to excuse a failure to meet production standards or rules of conduct that are both necessary for the operation of the business and applied equally to all employees, or to retain an individual who cannot do the job even with a reasonable
5. When Is It Important for My Client to Request a Reasonable Accommodation?
Because an employer does not have to excuse failure to meet production standards that are consistently applied, even if the difficulty was caused by a health condition or the side effects of medication, it could be in your client's
interest to request an accommodation before any problems at work occur or become worse. An accommodation may help to prevent discipline or even termination by enabling your client to perform the job successfully.
6. How Can I Help My Client Get a Reasonable Accommodation?
Your client may ask you to document his or her condition and its associated functional limitations, and to explain how a requested accommodation would help. The employer, perhaps in consultation with a health care
professional, will use this information to evaluate whether to provide a reasonable accommodation, and if so which one. The person evaluating the accommodation request also may contact you to ask for clarification of what you have written, or
to provide you with additional information to consider. For example, you may be told about a particular job function and asked whether the requested accommodation would help your client to perform it, or you may be asked whether a different
accommodation would be effective where, for example, the requested accommodation would be too difficult or costly for the employer to provide.
Employers are required to keep all information related to reasonable accommodation requests confidential.
7. Am I Permitted to Disclose My Client's Medical Information?
The ADA does not alter a health provider's ethical or legal obligations. You should request a reasonable accommodation on behalf of a client or provide an employer with medical information about the client only if he or she
asks you to do so and signs a release.
8. Could an Employer Discriminate Against My Client Because of the Information I Provide?
The ADA prohibits employers from harassing your client because of a mental health condition, and from terminating or taking other adverse actions against your client because of a mental health condition. Therefore, unless the
information you provide shows that your client is unable to perform the essential duties of the job even with a reasonable accommodation, the employer legally cannot take adverse action based on the information.
However, employers sometimes discriminate illegally. You therefore may wish to discuss with your client the risks associated with disclosing the condition (such as potential illegal discrimination), and with not disclosing it
(such as not having a reasonable accommodation that may be necessary to do the job).
9. What Kind of Documentation Would Be Helpful?
Employers may require documentation that establishes how your client's condition limits job performance, and how an accommodation would help to overcome the limitations. However, you should not simply provide your client's
medical records, because they will likely contain unnecessary information. Documentation is most likely to help your client obtain a reasonable accommodation if it explains, using plain language, the following:

Now Playing Third
Well, it is official, Pedro Feliz is our new third baseman. He was on our radar a few years ago when Scott Rolen wanted to be traded but the Giants wouldn't part with Pedro as part of a deal.
Pedro passed a physical exam this morning and now the Phillies have one of the best infields in baseball. Talk about the long ball, how about 119 from the foursome of Howard-Utley-Rollins-Feliz.
He also brings the best fielding percentage among last year's NL third basemen, .973. He made just 11 errors. Defense is one of our strong points and that phase of the game has gotten better. Good defense can be a huge boost for a pitching staff.
A right-handed hitter who has 100 homers over the last five seasons, Pedro helps balance the attack. Howard, Utley and Jenkins provide power from the left side; Burrell, Feliz, Werth and Ruiz from the right side with Rollins and Victorino being switch hitters.
Another plus: the Phillies bench just got stronger and deeper. Dobbs and Helms will have new roles. The bench reminds me of the 1977 Phillies when Danny Ozark could call on right-handed hitters in Davey Johnson, Ollie Brown and Jerry Martin and left-handed hitters in Tommy Hutton and Jay Johnstone.
As Rich Hofmann pointed out in his Daily News column yesterday, Feliz' arrival means Charlie Manuel won't have to use two players per game at third base, leaving him with more late-game options.
People were concerned that the Phillies lost a lot of offense when Aaron Rowand (27 HR, 89 RB) signed with the Giants. Say hello to 41 HR and 136 RBI by the Feliz/Jenkins combo.
Speaking of Feliz and Jenkins, each free agent has signed a two-year contract, meaning both will be around in 2009, giving the Phillies a lot of stability.
Critics have said Feliz has a lousy on-base-percentage because he doesn't walk much. As fellow Dominican Juan Samuel once said, "We didn't get off the island by walking. We got here swinging the bat."
The team that led the NL in runs scored just got stronger.
4 Comments
Well Feliz's lifetime OBP of .288 might be excused by swinging the bat to get off the island, except for the fact that his lifetime AVG is .252, so he isn't connecting very often. Feliz is barely an upgrade over the Helms/Dobbs combo, and saying he is because he has more "pop in his bat" is about as old school as it gets. A few years ago we had guy who could have played 3B who's doing a nice job hitting and fielding for the Tigers. These personnel moves are always easier to judge in the rear view mirror.
I love seein the new 3rd base man. He is going to really help the Phillies in 2008.
The Ultimate Baseball Collector
The Phillies DO have the best infield in baseball. This is the first time they can say this since they signed Pete Rose in 1979 to join Manny Trillo, Larry Bowa, and Mike Schmidt. It is a great time to be a Phillies fan!
Have to agree with Bill & Chris here…nice move. And I look forward to seeing Pedro's HR production go up in CBP…a much friendlier park for him I think. I do hope though we still get see some playing time out of Dobbs…still like his bat in this line-up! Overall, can't wait until Spring Training!
See ya,

FAT's half-metre thick, clip-on facade for Cardiff's BBC studios is a poster boy for procurement today, writes Rory Olcayto
More from: Breaking news: FAT splits
The facade for the new BBC drama production facility in Cardiff Bay is frontloaded design at its most extreme: architecture condensed into a single plane. It's a clip-on, 300-metre long, half-metre thick timber screen with abstract, cartoonish cut-outs – of rose windows, crosses, gothic patterns – and a GRP centrepiece in 'space-age Baroque'. Dew-drop 'drips' underline the elevation at eye level, with more Baroque stylings amplifying the top line.
Its creator, Sean Griffiths of FAT, calls it a 'figural section, a slice, extrusion, fragment or surface for information, offering a rich but non-expressive, deadpan or objective form of communication'. Behind the facade, there's a strip of 'bog-standard, cat B office' and some great big sheds for studios, where Casualty, Upstairs Downstairs and Doctor Who are filmed. 'There's not a lot to it,' he says.
There are similarities with other FAT projects, such as the Hoogvliet Villa in the Netherlands, the new Islington Square housing project in Manchester, or the Sint Lucas Art Academy in Boxtel, again in the Netherlands. Those projects, as Griffiths implies in the recent FAT-edited 'Radical Postmodernism' Architectural Designspecial, were also frontloaded, to 'counteract the expressionistic spatial promiscuity that characterises much current architecture'.
And while that's evidently true – more than any other UK practice, FAT has embraced the charms of the 'figural section' – the facade is the only bit of the BBC building, called Roath Lock Studios, it has actually designed. The rest, including the offices, cafeteria and vast sheds housing studios and sets, was produced by Holder Mathias Architects. A fact, as Griffiths admits, that probably says more about how we make architecture today than any number of provocative, thoughtful Postmodern ruminations for AD could ever do. He says: 'Procurement is shaping architecture in the same way that technology and materials shaped Modernism. It's all about timescales and money. It's very interesting in a boring kind of way. But no one talks about it. You wouldn't believe how quickly this was designed.'
The project's origins lie within a joint venture formed in 2005 between Igloo, which is a real-estate fund managed by Aviva Investors, and the Welsh Government. Their plan was to turn 38 acres in the Roath Basin, Cardiff Bay, into a mixed-use development with commercial, retail and residential buildings. Igloo called its proposal 'the final piece in the Cardiff Bay Inner Harbour jigsaw', and asked Terry Farrell, then DEGW, to draw up masterplans. But these were severely compromised by the credit crunch in 2008, which made the residential schemes unviable. But around this time, another key element – the development of a creative quarter – took hold, when the BBC mooted a move from Bristol to Cardiff.
Griffiths explains that FAT, alongside dRMM and Holder Mathias, was asked to propose ideas, and was appointed in July 2009. Yet because time was tight – it had to be ready by September this year, when the new series of Casualty began filming – so was Holder Mathias, which had the workforce and systems in place to produce a project of this scale: the facility is one of the largest drama production studios in Europe. Furthermore, the funding from the Welsh Government was a deadline-dependent grant, placing even more emphasis on speed of delivery. Holder Mathias did everything from Stage E onwards. 'They did the offices, the studio sheds, even the facade. We oversaw the detailing, but they were doing it. And to be fair to them, they did it pretty well,' says Griffiths.
While Igloo has a good track record in hiring smaller firms – Studio Bednarski designed a nearby bridge – there's a wider debate here regarding how the British construction industry operates. As Griffiths says: 'There's definitely a prejudice against creative practices – and we're at the extreme end of the spectrum. There's an assumption that if you're a little bit arty, you can't deliver. It's a constant battle. One of the reasons Holder Mathias was brought in was because Igloo was nervous about whether we could deliver.'
This approach means practices like FAT will never grow. It will also serve to bring about the emerging paradigm that little bit quicker: where 'studio' firms are hired as creative consultants to win planning consent and to provide architectural dressing for projects, largely produced by shop-floor drawing rooms. Foreign Office Architects has a similar role on the much bigger Atkins-led Birmingham New Street scheme, but there are many other examples of this model. And there is another element at play: 'What's different now,' states Griffiths, 'is that it's partly driven by someone needing to make a profit as quickly as possible, rather than a long-term investment goal.' In May this year Igloo sold the entire site to the British Steel Pension Fund for a substantial profit.
It's the reason why, once you cross the threshold and leave the facade behind, there is little to say about the interior design. The cafeteria has a suspended ceiling that drops down below large, circular windows. Offices are nondescript, enlivened here and there with Dalek murals and glass screens to the corridor. There is a long external corridor separating the office block from the studios, along which production staff and actors shuffle as they prepare to make a show.
The corrugated sheds containing the sets are huge, lacking in detail, and not really architecture. What they contain however – the entrance hall, staircase and drawing room from Upstairs Downstairs, ambulance bays and operating theatres from Casualty, and an outdoor neighbourhood for Welsh-language soap Pobol y Cwm – is endlessly fascinating (sadly the BBC does not allow photography of its sets to appear ahead of broadcast). The link between what goes on inside the sheds and how the facade relates to the rest of the building is clear. On set, buildings' exteriors are designed so that scenographers can hang facades on them. FAT's facade works like that too, and was even designed so it could be clipped on to the finished building, which would function just the same without it. 'It is a billboard facade,' says Griffiths. 'You could take it off – it would look pretty terrible, but it would remain functional. The wall goes all the way up behind it. It's no more than a rainscreen.'
It's way more than that. In terms of urban design, the facade forms one side of a street that in later years will see office blocks across from it. In the meantime, its striking iconography takes advantage of the long-distance views afforded by Cardiff Bay, and its strong aesthetic plugs neatly into the zoo-like gathering of buildings in the area: Will Alsop's tubular visitor centre, Capita's slate-wrapped Millennium Centre, an old, white-painted Norwegian church that always catches the eye, and Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners' Welsh Assembly.
Griffiths explains each of the cut-outs. The cross is for Casualty. The Baroque dew-drops along the top could be mountains or waves; the gothic elements and rose window honour Cardiff architect William Burges; the grid of triangles refers to the houses in Pobol y Cwm (you might need to watch 'the Welsh Hollyoaks' to get this reference); and the face-like cut-out could be a Doctor Who monster. The GRP centrepiece, though, is where Griffiths' interests really converge. Its layered, extruded surface is inspired by 'the underside of spacecraft from Star Wars' as well as Venetian church facades. 'It has a certain civic quality. It looks like Gallifrey town hall!' Griffiths says, referring to the Doctor's home planet.
FAT has always collided cultures high and low, so typically there are historical references here too. A neon striplight tracing the top of the facade is an obvious nod to Charles Moore's Piazza d'Italia in New Orleans (1978), and given BBC Trust chairman Chris Patten's observation, 'Ikea crossed with the Doges Palace', you might even draw comparisons with the Templeton Carpet factory in Glasgow, a 19th-century warehouse fronted with a polychromatic remix elevation of the famous Venetian edifice. Venturi Scott Brown's Bill-ding board is another.
The most obvious precedent however, is Terry Farrell's TV-am building in Camden, London, demolished in September. Farrell was hired for a similar reason: to provide a wrap for a number of incoherent buildings, although the dense city grain was a very different context. 'Apt, isn't it, that our project finished just as that one was demolished,' Griffiths says. 'That building marked a key moment for British architecture.' For very different reasons, you might argue, Roath Lock Studios does too.

Since I can't shut up about Madeline Miller's Song of Achilles, I thought it fitting to make that my first quote!
This is one of my favourite quotes from SoA – I love how carefree both Achilles and Patroclus is at this time. But mostly it's because of how much Madeline says, with those few lines.
What can I say, this was the first quote that popped into my head when I saw the tag. I do kind of regret it now, because I have no idea how to top it, or even equal it.

IBM Uses "Do It Yourself" Video to Communicate and Market
"No more long, cumbersome marketing documents – no more boring presentations. Video is how companies and business should communicate," says Mark Leaser, Worldwide Offerings Manager, IBM Software Services for Lotus. "You can do it yourself and save thousands of dollars.
IBM Software Services for Lotus is using video in a wide variety of ways – for internal education and communications as well as for external marketing and customer relations.
Internally, Mr. Leaser and his department are using video for sales training, communication where they want to propose a particular course of action, and to provide training of their technical solution architects and solution specialists. They also are doing internal case studies – talking head interviews and lots of screen capture using their own LotusLive web conference solution and mixing it with live video.
IBM is also using video externally to promote and market their assets and solutions worldwide. The video messages are designed to help customers select, purchase and use the appropriate business solutions.
To speed up the production process, and to ensure a consistent look and feel, Mr. Leaser has developed an effective standardized format to deliver these external messages. These external communication videos usually start with a short teaser – essentially a one to two minute video introduction to a business solution then followed by an action step that is designed to steer viewers to specific online IBM landing pages with much more detail.
Combining the best practices from successful eCommerce and eTailing sites, these landing pages use even more video to further educate and market products and services. A typical video landing page will include links to additional content including additional video and product information. The landing page can also include "infomercial" type videos, as well as videos on how the products work and where to go for more info.
IBM uses video as a means of attracting interest in something that they are doing. The video segments have to be more than a commercial – they have to offer content with value, information of how their solutions will help their customers' business, and tips for using particular solutions.
IBM Saves Money by Producing In House
Currently IBM uses outside production services as well as internal teams to create their videos. The customer case studies and/or reference videos are usually produced by an external company but increasingly, a larger percentage of the videos are being produced internally. Many of the videos are shot at tradeshows and events where IBM's various technical and product experts are in attendance. Rather than hiring an outsider who charges $10K to $15K to produce a video, IBM found that they can do it ourselves, single camera, for a small fraction of the price, and it is just as effective. Over a year, they save hundreds of thousands of dollars."
Some case study videos are shot multi-camera but 90% of all productions are single camera. Most of the videos are captured using standard HD prosumer camcorders (recording onto 16 gigabyte SD cards) with flat lighting from a single large lightbox. For capturing audio, Mark uses professional Sony lavaliere microphones and Audio Technica shotgun microphones. Mark says, "Simple works. One of the most important technical details is to make sure we have clean audio."
To improve the efficiency of the video editing and production process, the video is captured in a native Quicktime format and then inputted into Mac computers running Final Cut Studio. Mark has settled on h.264 and DVKitchen for compression and distribution over the company's intranet as well as over the Internet. Mark usually compresses at the standard Apple TV settings (h.264 at 1280×720 with a 4800 kbps data rate) but DV Kitchen makes it simple to provide a variety of compression templates for various viewing and distribution options.
In many ways, their video production process is just like producing a document using Microsoft word. They use standardized formats and templates, and standardized technical specifications that allow a "producer" to easily cut and assemble a video without having to know a lot of technical details.
Once the video is done, the IBM team can share it in a variety of ways. For internal videos, they often use their own internal media servers or YouTube where the videos can be viewed using the standard YouTube video player.
However, for their external marketing videos, they were not satisfied with embedding YouTube in their public facing pages because there was too much clutter and not enough brand control. To give them more control and present a more professional look, they use outside video hosting companies and video platforms that can be customized.
Authoring video in house works for IBM because their current generation of IT decision makers understand the video language and often don't have the patience to wade through a white paper or technical presentation. To properly reach them, information needs to be presented in a lively, colorful and high-energy mode that can only be conveyed via video.
Three reasons your business should use video to communicate
1. Use video – it works. The impact is phenomenal. Following the lead of the direct marketing industry which claims a 4x improvement in response in video versus text, Mark says that short videos with links is the most effective way for establishing powerful outward bound communications and building brand equity. Your audience expects video and you need to give it to them. An effective business presents information in a manner that is most receptive by their target audience.
2. Learn how to do it yourself. Modern video technology and solutions are easy to learn and very affordable. In many ways similar to cut and paste word processing, DIY video production has become the baseline for business communications and marketing. It is similar to the past evolution to word processing from executives relying on secretaries. The stratified and inefficient business architecture of the "Mad Men" TV show is long gone. Similarly, a new business communication paradigm is occurring now with video. Word processing is being supplanted by video. Long documents and boring powerpoint presentations are being replaced by video. Because DIY video is so efficient as a communications tool, it should be an integral part of your business.
3. Video is easier than people think. It is no longer some mystical technology. Yes, 20 years ago, video was complicated, expensive and required an advanced degree. However, with the advent of simple to use video nonlinear "cut and paste" editing programs and affordable high definition digital camcorders, high quality production is now attainable by almost anyone. You can hire someone out of high school who has all the skills. Remember – for business, simple works best. It is all about communicating ideas and information, not fancy effects or 3D explosions.

Guest poem sent in by Raghavendra
(Poem #652) The Cataract of Lodore
"How does the water Come down at Lodore?" My little boy asked me Thus, once on a time; And moreover he tasked me To tell him in rhyme. Anon, at the word, There first came one daughter, And then came another, To second and third The request of their brother, And to hear how the water Comes down at Lodore, With its rush and its roar, As many a time They had seen it before. So I told them in rhyme, For of rhymes I had store; And 'twas in my vocation For their recreation That so I should sing; Because I was Laureate To them and the King. From its sources which well In the tarn on the fell; From its fountains In the mountains, Its rills and its gills; Through moss and through brake, It runs and it creeps For a while, till it sleeps In its own little lake. And thence at departing, Awakening and starting, It runs through the reeds, And away it proceeds, Through meadow and glade, In sun and in shade, And through the wood-shelter, Among crags in its flurry, Helter-skelter, Hurry-skurry. Here it comes sparkling, And there it lies darkling; Now smoking and frothing Its tumult and wrath in, Till, in this rapid race On which it is bent, It reaches the place Of its steep descent. The cataract strong Then plunges along, Striking and raging As if a war raging Its caverns and rocks among; Rising and leaping, Sinking and creeping, Swelling and sweeping, Showering and springing, Flying and flinging, Writhing and ringing, Eddying and whisking, Spouting and frisking, Turning and twisting, Around and around With endless rebound: Smiting and fighting, A sight to delight in; Confounding, astounding, Dizzying and deafening the ear with its sound. Collecting, projecting, Receding and speeding, And shocking and rocking, And darting and parting, And threading and spreading, And whizzing and hissing, And dripping and skipping, And hitting and splitting, And shining and twining, And rattling and battling, And shaking and quaking, And pouring and roaring, And waving and raving, And tossing and crossing, And flowing and going, And running and stunning, And foaming and roaming, And dinning and spinning, And dropping and hopping, And working and jerking, And guggling and struggling, And heaving and cleaving, And moaning and groaning; And glittering and frittering, And gathering and feathering, And whitening and brightening, And quivering and shivering, And hurrying and skurrying, And thundering and floundering; Dividing and gliding and sliding, And falling and brawling and sprawling, And driving and riving and striving, And sprinkling and twinkling and wrinkling, And sounding and bounding and rounding, And bubbling and troubling and doubling, And grumbling and rumbling and tumbling, And clattering and battering and shattering; Retreating and beating and meeting and sheeting, Delaying and straying and playing and spraying, Advancing and prancing and glancing and dancing, Recoiling, turmoiling and toiling and boiling, And gleaming and streaming and steaming and beaming, And rushing and flushing and brushing and gushing, And flapping and rapping and clapping and slapping, And curling and whirling and purling and twirling, And thumping and plumping and bumping and jumping, And dashing and flashing and splashing and clashing; And so never ending, but always descending, Sounds and motions for ever and ever are blending All at once and all o'er, with a mighty uproar, - And this way the water comes down at Lodore.
[1774-1843] I find waterfalls fascinating. The sprinkle formed by the water crashing to the base symbolizes life and energy to me. Reading Southey's "The Cataract of Lodore" gave me the experience as of watching a spectacular waterfall. I managed to find a photograph of the waterfall which, however, disappointed me. I guess it was taken during a dry spell. Southey's description of the waterfall is a masterpiece. The poem creates a wonderful image of a lively waterfall. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he spirit of the waterfall has been captured in words for eternity by Southey. Check out [broken link] http://www.btinternet.com/~lake.district/kes/lodore.htm for a photograph of the waterfall at Lodore. regards, Raghavendra Links: Biography of Southey: poem #203 Also check out Tennyson's somewhat reminiscent 'The Brook' poem #80

Dismal case ratio but almost makes me wonder if a revision case isn't in the works? The repacked TVC are dropped... It's all very fishy.
Nothing distribution wise seems to work for anyone.
