Agile is an approach to software development that has rapidly become mainstream. Incorporating the Agile philosophy into IT organizations has been shown to more rapidly deliver working software, increase quality, and decrease time-to-market. Using a mixture of techniques that together form modern Agile practices such as Scrum, Extreme Programming (XP), user stories, test-driven development, etc, teams can significantly improve their productivity and morale. This Applying Scrum – Agile Principles and Practices training course explains this approach's values, key techniques, and how each Agile team member contributes to success.
This Certified Agile Service Manager (CASM) Certification training course provides an introduction to Agile Service Management – the application and integration of agile thinking into service management processes and process design projects. A Certified Agile Service Manager (CASM) is the operational counterpart to a Certified Scrum Master (CSM). Working together, ScrumMasters and Agile Service Managers can instil agile thinking into the entire IT organization as the basis of a DevOps culture.
This Introduction to Agile Architecture Training course examines the relationship between the Agile methodology and the practice of Architecture. It is a mixture of lectures and exercises. The lectures provide instruction on the concepts and open up meaningful discussions; the exercises have students work through a case study to help deepen their knowledge. The course begins with defining what the Agile methodology and the practice of Architecture are and continues by looking at their strengths and weakness. An apparent dichotomy exists, and an exploration of industry practices demonstrate possible ways to resolve the conflict. The course ends by looking at how the best of both may be achievable.
This Improving Agility – Beyond Technical Excellence training course is designed for technical teams looking to improve their performance beyond that of technical excellence. The course will explore agility beyond the development of software, looking at team dynamics, communication and visibility, product ownership, working with the client, agile workspaces and look at the impact of agile software delivery on the wider organisation and how you can work with inter-related teams in an agile way.

We will learn how to apply a 'whole-team' approach to quality and how to orchestrate feedback from your tests in order to be extremely effective. We will learn why the traditional approaches to test automation don't yield the returns we require and why these approaches do not increase quality despite, being expensive and costly to maintain.
The application of Agile principles and practices on software development projects enables a project team to quickly develop working software that meets business needs. In Scrum, teams work in 2-4 week Sprints to produce production-quality software driven by business priorities using an empirical, adaptive approach. This Agile Enablement Workshop training course provides an in depth understanding of how Agile and Scrum teams deliver business value.
Agile software development employs certain principles and practices that enable development teams to quickly build and deploy high quality software products. An example of one Agile practice is to establish the Scrum Product Owner role. The Agile philosophy is to approach the system under development as a holistic product, not a series of disparate projects. This Agile Product Owner Enablement training course explores the responsibilities and expectations of the Product Owner role. Students will learn how a Product Owner can infuse business priorities, goals, and vision, into a development team and thereby build highly functional systems.
This Introduction to Agile Development for Non-Technical Teams training course will introduce attendees to the essential methods, skills and practices of agile development used when working with agile technology development teams.

Our next opposition, the Essendon Bombers, suffered a heartbreaking loss to the Sydney Swans in Round 14.
Essendon came into the match full of confidence after a commanding victory over Port Adelaide the week prior.
The Dons made a shaky start under lights at the SCG, with most the Swans early points coming from Essendon turnovers inside their defensive 50.
Both sides battled to convert their chances in front of goal, and at half time the Swans held an eight-point lead.
After falling behind by 30 points in the third quarter, the Dons finally came alive and fired off seven unanswered goals to hold a 19-point lead with only a handful of minutes remaining in the match.
There was a twist yet to come, with the Swans kicking two goals and two behinds to draw only five points behind heading into the final moments of play.
A botched kick-in by Brendon Goddard provided Sydney with one more chance, and Gary Rohan took a superb one-handed grab in the goal square and converted after the siren to steal a remarkable victory.
That winning mark. #AFLSwansDons pic.twitter.com/iSis26qtzy— AFL (@AFL) June 23, 2017
The score finished 11.20 (86) to 12.13 (85).
Despite the agonising loss, Essendon Head Coach John Worsfold was content with the performance of his team.
"I'm rapt with the effort the players brought. Even at half time I felt Sydney held sway in the game, but we turned it around in the second half," Worsfold said.
"To have the players look like they really believed in themselves at three-quarter time, that they wanted to take the game on and go on and win - on a slippery night when it was pretty hard to score - their attitude was outstanding."
Zach Merrett, Michael Hurley and David Zaharakis had huge games for the Bombers, while Shaun Mckernan and James Stewart kicked two goals apiece.
Essendon currently sits in 11th place on the ladder, right in the middle of a logjam of teams fighting for a spot in the finals.
Injury List
Key forward Cale Hooker is expected to return for the Dons this weekend. Hooker injured his finger late last week and missed the loss to the Swans, but has returned to training and should be fully fit for Sunday.
Connor McKenna also picked up a minor finger injury against Sydney but will be fine to play on Sunday.
Lions Health Centre: Injury List
Darcy Parish and Mitch Brown returned from injuries to play in the VFL on the weekend, with Parish a strong chance at returning to the Senior team to play the Lions.
Patrick Ambrose remains a few weeks away from returning from a quad injury.

Outfit details: Floral Romper Here, Necklace Here
A year ago I decided to start my Blog. I didn't really have a plan, I just knew I needed to start doing it and the rest would fall into place. I had been following bloggers since 2013. When I realized that most of these women were pursing their passions of fashion, beauty and travel I knew I had to start blogging.
Then I came across The Skinny Confidential, in particular Lauryn Evarts Bosstick the creator and bad ass chic who gave me the confidence and taught me how to blog, brand and to just be myself. By reading her blog daily and listening to her weekly podcast I continue to learn all the time and growing everyday to build the blog I wanted. So Thank You Lauryn.
My vision could not have happened without my dear friend and photographer Neel @neels_corner . He gave me the most valuable thing anyone of us possesses and that is TIME. His patience, persistence of helping me create the moments I wanted to capture and share with all of you is priceless. He is truly one of kind and a true friend. So thank you!
Thank you to everyone who takes time out of their day to support my blog, through your likes, sharing and word of mouth I keep getting to do what I love and hopefully bring some happiness, smiles and value to you.
Just a few of my favorite pics from the last year!
Thank you for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!

The exact mechanism by which benzodiazepines work is not fully understood, but it's believed they raise levels of the calming neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) or increase GABA receptor sensitivity. Other medications that belong in this group, commonly referred to as "benzos," include brand names such as Centrax, Dalmane, Klonopin, Librium, Paxipam, Restoril, Serax, Tranxene, and Valium.
These drugs can stop anxiety or a panic attack in its tracks. Relief is experienced quickly — often within 30 to 60 minutes — and generally lasts 15 to 22 hours. While these drugs may at first seem like a miracle if you struggle with anxiety, there are many reasons to avoid taking them if at all possible. As the Chinese saying goes, "The bigger the front, the bigger the back." And these drugs have a very big back
The Downside Of Anti-Anxiety Drugs
Benzodiazepines like Xanax and Ativan come with a very long list of side effects. According to RXList.com, they commonly make people feel drowsy, dizzy, weak, confused, or unsteady. Other reported side effects include depression, disorientation, headache, mental confusion, irritability, aggressiveness, memory loss, and sleep issues. Long-term use can increase your risk of dementia. One study found that the more benzodiazepines you take cumulatively, the greater your risk of Alzheimer's disease.
Anti-anxiety medications are designed for short-term use — a few weeks or months at best — since they are highly addictive. After four to six months they generally stop working which is typical of any addictive substance. Users develop a tolerance needing more and more to get the same effect.
While it often takes months for people to develop an addiction, for some it can occur much faster — in as little as a few weeks. Once you are hooked, quitting these medications is really tough. In fact, they are right up there in the "top 10" hardest addictive substances to kick along with heroin and cocaine.
If you do decide to quit taking Xanax, you can expect to experience some pretty severe withdrawal side effects, including anxiety, insomnia, restlessness, muscle tension, and irritability. You are right if you noticed that these sound a lot like all the reasons you decided to take it in the first place. But it can be much worse. Some users experience depression, nausea, blurred vision, sweating, hallucinations, delusions, and seizures.
There are certain groups of people who should never take these drugs. You should not take benzodiazepines if you are pregnant, over 65, or prone to addictions. You should never take them if you drink alcohol or take other drugs, either prescription or recreational. Benzodiazepines send over 100,000 people to the emergency room every year. Over 80 percent of these visits are due to interactions with other drugs or alcohol. In rare cases, these interactions can be fatal.
And lastly, these drugs don't work for everyone. A minority of those who take them experience paradoxical reactions and feel more anxious, impulsive, and aggressive.
Natural Alternatives To Anti-Anxiety Medications
If you are thinking that these drugs, sometimes referred to as "mother's little helper," don't sound all that helpful, you are absolutely right. Fortunately, there are many natural alternatives to anti-anxiety drugs.
Here are some of my favorite natural alternatives to Xanax, Ativan, and other prescription anti-anxiety medications. Most of these have been shown to be effective without side effects in scientific studies, while all have a substantial and often long history of use in traditional and alternative medicine.
Inositol, formerly known as vitamin B8, is found in high concentrations in the brain. All major neurotransmitters rely on inositol for relaying messages between brain cells. Inositol makes an effective natural anti-anxiety remedy.
One study found it worked as well fluvoxamine, a popular selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitor (SSRI) medication, for treating panic disorder. Fluvoxamine is used to treat a variety of other mental disorders, including obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), social anxiety disorder, eating disorders, schizophrenia, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and major depressive disorder (MDD). Study participants who took fluvoxamine experienced nausea and fatigue while those who took inositol reported no side effects.
Inositol is also an excellent choice for women experiencing the mood swings, depression, and anxiety associated with premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and the more severe premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). Women who take inositol often experience significant improvement in PMS and PMDD symptoms.
Inositol is found in most foods but in very small amounts. The average diet contains 1 gram of inositol. If you are taking inositol for therapeutic purposes, you'll need to take up to 18 grams daily. Since most inositol pills and capsules contain 500 mg, this would require taking a lot of pills. Instead, consider taking inositol powder which can be mixed with water.
Gotu Kola
Unfortunately, the name gotu kola brings up thoughts of caffeinated cola drinks or kola nuts, but nothing could be further from the truth. Gotu kola is, in fact, a relaxing herb that's an important part of some Asian cuisines. Yogis use it as a meditation aid since it's thought to restore balance to the left and right hemispheres of the brain. Studies show gotu kola can increase calmness, contentedness, and alertness by 100 percent and reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression by 50 percent.
Arctic Root
As the name suggests, Arctic root (also know as Rhodiola rosea) is found mainly in cold regions of the world. It was used traditionally in Chinese medicine to increase physical stamina and reduce fatigue due to stress. One way Arctic root works is by increasing the activity of the feel-good brain chemicals serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine. Arctic root alleviates symptoms of anxiety and seasonal affective disorder. It can also help fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome patients overcome the stress and anxiety that frequently accompany these disorders.
Holy Basil
Holy basil is an Indian Ayurvedic herb also known as tulsi, which means "the incomparable one." Holy basil is thought to bestow its users with a long and healthy life. Holy basil alleviates anxiety by decreasing levels of stress hormones, especially cortisol. It provides significant relief to those with generalized anxiety disorder and related stress and depression.
Research supports the traditional belief that this revered herb offers a wide array of healing properties. It is antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory. It protects the liver, the heart, and the nervous system. It has anti-diabetic and anti-cancer properties. It can also help with other brain-related disorders, including depression, memory loss, insomnia, and migraine headaches. With all of these benefits, holy basil is considered one of Ayurvedic medicine's most important healing herbs.
Ashwagandha is another important herb in the Ayurvedic healing tradition. Its name literally means "smell of horse," which is appropriate since it smells like a horse and is said to give the strength and stamina of one to those who take it. Ashwagandha reduces anxiety and depression without causing drowsiness. It works, in part, by increasing levels of the mood-boosting neurotransmitter serotonin while decreasing levels of the stress hormone cortisol. One study found that taking ashwagandha decreases cortisol by an impressive 27 percent. It is very helpful for those with the anxiety disorder agoraphobia.
The efficacy of ashwagandha for anxiety is based more on the reported success of traditional use than scientific evidence. According to naturopathic doctor Dr. Peter Bongiorno, author of How Come They're Happy and I'm Not, "Most of the understanding we have about ashwagandha is based on its substantial anecdotal history and animal studies. But more clinical studies are being done."
Anti-anxiety drugs are thought to work by increasing the neurotransmitter GABA and you can buy GABA supplements. But they generally don't work since GABA is too large a molecule to enter the brain. A convenient way to bypass this problem is by taking GABA's precursor taurine. Taurine is an amino acid found in high concentrations in the brain, where it acts very much like GABA. It has a calming effect if you suffer from anxiety, stress, insomnia, or an overstimulated mind.
By combining GABA with niacin, picamilon provides a workaround to get GABA into your brain. This "new and improved" form of GABA provides prescription-strength benefits for anxiety, depression, high blood pressure, and migraine headaches. It has nootropic qualities and is popular among college students who use it to increase focus and memory. It's thought to specifically help with social anxiety.
Switch To Green Tea
People around the world have a love affair with caffeine. Over 80 percent of Americans drink coffee every day and millions more get their caffeine from energy drinks, soda, and tea.
But one of the best tips to reduce anxiety is to go caffeine-free. The latest edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), the American Psychiatric Association's compendium of mental health conditions, recognizes four caffeine-induced disorders. The link between caffeine and anxiety is so strong that one study concluded that, "Assessment of caffeine intake should form part of routine psychiatric assessment and should be carried out before prescribing hypnotics" and that, "Decaffeinated beverages should be provided on psychiatric wards."
If you aren't ready to go totally caffeine-free, consider switching to green tea. Its modest amount of caffeine is offset by the compounds l-theanine and EGCG (epigallocatechin-3-gallate). These relaxing compounds have the unique ability to alter your brainwave patterns to induce a mental state similar to that achieved during meditation.
Even More Alternatives
Just as no one prescription medication works for everyone all the time, no one natural remedy is effective for everyone either. These aren't the only natural alternatives to prescription anti-anxiety drugs by a long shot. If you try these and they don't help, don't get discouraged. There are many other alternatives to try.
Other supplements to consider include B complex vitamins, chamomile, valerian, bacopa, ginkgo, ginseng, and oregano oil. The appropriate use of calming essential oils, especially lavender oil, can soothe away stress and anxiety.
And lastly, not all natural alternatives to Xanax, Ativan, and anti-anxiety drugs are physical substances that you ingest or apply — some are things you do. Physical exercise, breathing exercises, meditation, and mind-body healing techniques like biofeedback, hypnosis, or Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) should be considered as well. These techniques can help you address the root cause of your anxiety, ultimately freeing you from the need to take anti-anxiety pills of any kind.

I cannot help but be continually amazed at the insight, devotion, and interest that some Ars readers take in the health and vitality of Ars Technica. Today we unveil a manifestation of just that: The Ars Emporium. Replete with ideas from dozens of Ars readers, and designed quite graciously by designmerc, the Emporium is now open for business. What is it? In short, it's a store where you can easily trove through Ars-specific merchandise, and get links to Ars Technica affiliates for other commercial purchases. The plan was begun in July, but some of the funkified Ars offerings have been around for a while. In the new Emporium you'll find links to the old, standard Ars merchandise, such as the shirts and hats from Copyleft, plus some newer stuff, including Ars glass mugs, shot glasses (vodka or pepto ready, of course), and a hefty, big, black coffee mug (it kicks ass). I'd also like to bring your attention to our hardware and software sections, where you can make purchases that will essentially provide referral fees for Ars.
The Emporium, although "live," is still under construction, and we'd really like feedback from y'all. And I'd like to, again, extend sincere thanks to the readers who really made this possible, from the conception to the implementation. Few sites out there can boast of the dedicated community we have here. Thank you.

Deerfoot's purpose is to build godly young men. As the Director of DL, my primary focus was on building the staff as godly young men. There were several reasons for this.
1. Most of what is learned during staff training is useful in many contexts. In the staff manual, under Operational Objectives it says "give evidence that they are developing as Christian leaders." Our world is desperately in need of capable, Christian leaders in churches, businesses, communities…
2. All of what is taught in staff training is put into use during the summer camping program. The staff works with the campers under very careful supervision, and throughout the summer the staff was/is coached to improve their skills.
3. It was impossible for me, with a staff of 70 and up to 160 campers, to provide focused attention on 230 people.
4. As staff members received more training, gained more experience, they were able to use their abilities to assist me, and those working under them. I worked at never having a person in the counseling staff serve in the same position twice. As a staff member gained more experience, they received greater responsibility. A Guide became an Assistant Counselor, and then a Counselor. After being counselor, many different positions became possible: Section Chief, Guide Leader, Assistant to the Director, Water Front Director, Tripping Director, Crafts Director. Being on the Maintenance or Kitchen Staff is an option. Section Chiefs, Guide Leaders, and the Assistant to the Director, Tripping Director were all given teaching responsibilities during staff training.
In the three days before staff training began, I would have the Section Chiefs, Guide Leaders and my assistant to our home to talk through plans for staff training, and these changed a bit each summer. After the schedule was finalized, teaching assignments were made.
In February one year I had a pace-maker "installed." In May the meds I was on were not having the desired effect and I was heading towards congestive heart failure. On the Sunday morning staff training was to begin, I went to the hospital and those involved in planning staff training went to DL and began the staff training program. After a week I was given clearance by my cardiologist to go straight from the hospital to Deerfoot. As I regained my strength I was able to begin to participate in the staff training program. The quality of the men, and the years of DL training and experience, enabled the leadership team to do an incredible job!!
While Director I was privileged to have many top quality young men at DL for 8 to 13 summers. What an incredible discipling / training opportunity. An example of the training possible through DL is Chief Ron, now the Director of Deerfoot Lodge. While I was Director, Ron was a Guide, Assistant Counselor, Counselor, Section Chief, Guide Leader, Tripping Director, and my Assistant. While Ron was my Assistant, I was able to take the Allagash River trip as the assistant to Nick Dotti. After his summers at DL, and before he became Deerfoot's Director, Chief Ron was able to provide pastoral leadership in 3 churches.
Garret Larson, Craig Boronow, and Rich Sylvester went through this training and became Camp Directors. Eric Heipel directs a camp/conference center in MN. Seth Coates did the above and worked on maintenance under Ken Hoffman, and is now the Director of Windfall Rafting, and works with Craig at Moose River Outpost for the off-season retreat ministry. Russ Boronow worked in several positions at DL and now heads the retreat ministry of Mont Lawn, a camp/conference center in PA. It is interesting to note that all of the above men became Deerfoot Lone Eagles.
I sought to live In Partnership With God as did all of the leadership team at DL. Our challenge was to build godly young men, men who would live In Partnership With God. What a privilege!
Perhaps only parents have a greater opportunity to build godly young people – and when parents focus their time and energy on this unique privilege, Deerfoot Lodge is able to reinforce the work done by parents. This is the norm for DL staff.

text: After hiking the Dolomites and having a great time at an alpine Spa Hotel my wife and I needed a couple days in a humming Italien city to get used to civilization again. We chose Venice. There is not much to say about Venice as you probably all know more about this city then I do. All I can say: we truly enjoyed this special place on earth … but two days is enough for starters 😉

After a stop at the Walmart in Casa Grande, I made it all the way to Foothills RV Resort in Yuma. We've stayed at this place many times and also enjoyed a drink or two at Mickey B's. The next day, I traveled on to Rio Bend RV Park just outside El Centro. This was another one of our favorite stops. I soaked up some rays at the pool there during my two day stay. I do believe my tan has stabilized.
I think I've visited more RV resorts with golf courses than Carman has played in the past few months. On Saturday I drove up to Caliente Springs RV Resort outside of Desert Palm Springs and stayed for eight days while Ginny Nyland and I toured the whole area. What a fantastic tour guide she was. This a picture of the view from my RV spot. It's the mountain that we took the tram up on Thursday evening.
The first place we went on Sunday was to the College of the Desert flea market. It was just like Yuma and Webster. Ginny was smart enough to wear a hat that day. Unfortunately, I didn't. I did buy some showy thong sandals and other trinkets.
Stay tuned for more pictures and adventures!

In the media industry where "credibility is the name of the game," any information and its sources to be used for the knowledge of the general public is crucial and should be kept protected at all times, by both journalists and media companies.
With the UK government and its draft investigatory powers bill in progress, police and security services were given new powers. The said bill has also gathered some criticism from media lawyers emphasizing how it could be used to spy on journalists and their sources.
However, it's not only the UK-based journalists who should be aware of the tools and techniques they can use to protect themselves and their sources from surveillance, especially if they are handling investigatory projects which may have highly confidential information, and if they're speaking to whistle-blowers.
Aside from encrypting the documents included in their job ﹘ articles in progress or confidential documents passed upon them ﹘ since it's a crucial thing to connect to the internet for other valuable information, it's also a must for them to surf the web anonymously to avoid hacking on their personal and media companies' information. Complete anonymous web surfing can only be achieved through using Tor (The Onion Router) software, and/or an encrypted VPN service, when connecting to the internet.
Whenever we connect to the internet, our identity is revealed by a unique IP (internet protocol) address. Each connection we make, either to websites, email servers and others, may be traced back to us through our IP.
This just means that even if journalists make use of a sensible encryption for their documents, the identity of their revelations' whistle-blowers and those they work with can be uncovered. Because of this, especially in dire situations, secure anonymous surfing should undoubtedly be done.
One of the simplest ways to achieve this is through using a Tor software package, which anonymises connections by sending them through a series of intermediate nodes (computers running the Tor software in "relay" mode), before finally accessing the website through the final node chain, the exit node.
However, with the Tor, even though its network is encrypted, the exit node will transmit data as it was at the beginning. To put it simply, the user is responsible for encrypting their communications, or else their anonymity can be compromised. Care should also be taken when links are followed since external applications such as a linked PDF file that is opened will not be running through Tor by default and can unmask the user, a great risk for the society's watchdog. Always using the latest version of the software is also highly recommended.
Another way of surfing anonymously online is to register and have an account on a best VPN (Virtual Private Network) service, much better if it is an ultra secure and encrypted VPN. In a nutshell, VPN serves as a relay point for your connections. When you connect to the internet while using a VPN, the IP address you appear to be connecting from is that of the VPN server and not your original IP. And so, all your data is being encrypted between your computer and the VPN servers.
VPN services vary in their levels of security. It's better to use a best VPN service that doesn't log any user activity, like FrootVPN. It's because data retention and logging of activities can be dangerous since the information gathered can be handed to governments and law enforcement agencies when a threatening situation arises.
In addition to Tor and VPNs being great tools for anonymous web surfing, these can also be used to access websites that have been blocked. Especially for the working journalists who always travel to handle different news coverages and beats, using a Tor or a VPN is an indispensable move. In countries which operate particularly aggressive censorship of the internet, such as Iran (for war coverages), China, and Saudi Arabia, or even Western governments now making their move towards internet censorship, like Australia, Italy, France and the UK (which were all placed under surveillance in the annual Reporters Without Borders Enemies of the Internet report in 2010 following moves to implement their own filters), access to sites routinely used by journalists (especially social media correspondents) for consistent news updating, like Twitter or even Google itself, may be restricted. But with a secure VPN however, any media practitioner can be allowed to bypass such restrictions regardless of their physical location.

text: When trying to recreate shots for practicing purposes lighting is surely one important part of the equation the other being the lens choice. while lighting schemes and aperture used might be approximated by eye reflections, shadow detail/placement and depth of field, i am wondering if there are any equally useful hints that allow for an educated guess as to which lens focal length was used. I am aware of the influence of crop factors induced by film format, sensor size and post-processing but these could be corrected for by apps like pCam, together with the info provided by the technical specs infos on sites like imdb.com or theasc.com. I nevertheless continue to run into difficulties when trying to recreate shots while using a digital aps-c sensor size or a 6x7 format film stills analog camera. Any useful guidelines would surely be appreciated!.

By Bill DeBaun, Program Analyst
In the last 40 years, college enrollment rates for historically underrepresented students have increased, but graduation rates have barely budged. Data from dozens of NCAN member organizations show, however, that these students complete college at close to the national average when properly supported.
NCAN's second annual "Closing the College Graduation Gap" national benchmarking report found that the six-year graduation rate of students served by NCAN members in the class of 2008 (56.8%) was approaching the overall National Student Clearinghouse benchmark of 59.3% for students nationally who enrolled in postsecondary education within one year of graduating high school. The NCAN completion benchmark is also substantially higher than the most recently available comparable data for all low-income, first-generation students from the class of 2003 (45.3%).
This report is a collaboration of NCAN members and the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center (NSCRC) to develop meaningful metrics about the outcomes of students served by college access and success programs. This year's report offers even more insights into the performance of NCAN member-served students.
Using data collected from 42 NCAN member programs (up from 24 last year), the NSCRC calculated an enrollment rate and graduation rates for the high school classes of 2008, 2009, and 2010 and an enrollment rate for the high school class of 2014. These metrics represent the key milestones of postsecondary access and success that anchor NCAN's Common Measures. Effectively collecting and analyzing data has become increasingly important in the college access and success field, and NCAN works to provide members with resources and opportunities to develop these capacities.
The results of the second year of benchmarking hold both encouraging developments for NCAN members and a renewed charge to be persistent in closing the postsecondary enrollment and completion gaps facing low-income, first-generation students. The enrollment rates for the four high school classes examined (74%, 71%, 69%, and 64% for the partial 2014 year) all exceeded similar rates for urban, suburban, and rural low-income high schools published in the NSCRC's 2014 High School Benchmarks report. Even more encouraging is that NCAN's enrollment benchmarks exceed those of four categories of high-income high schools.
The report also compares NCAN's graduation rate benchmark for the class of 2008 (the only year for which there was a 6-year graduation rate) to the NSCRC's "Completing College: A National View of Student Attainment Rates – Fall 2008 Cohort" report. As mentioned above, the graduation rate of students served by NCAN members (56.8%) was approaching the overall NSC benchmark of 59.3%. This gap shows that the mission of NCAN and its members to ensure postsecondary opportunities for traditionally underserved students remains critical.
Although the measures above appeared in last year's inaugural report, this year's report goes in-depth and provides enrollment and completion rates for students by year, gender, race/ethnicity, Hispanic heritage, and first-generation status. This data became available after a more intensive collection from NCAN members. Because more data were collected, NCAN will release additional analyses of this benchmarking data, including a demographic analysis of students who never enrolled, enrolled but did not complete, and those who completed within six years. NCAN will also dive deeper into the interventions received by various student groups and explore whether certain interventions, or combinations of interventions, are more strongly associated with enrollment or completion than others.
Work on the third round of the Benchmarking Project will commence this summer, and interested NCAN members can find more information or contact NCAN Deputy Director Sara Melnick or Program Analyst Bill DeBaun to signal their interest in participating.
NCAN continues to be proud of our members' passion for their missions and commitment to using data to demonstrate their effectiveness. The result of the second benchmarking report clearly demonstrate what NCAN has believed since our creation 20 years ago: Our member programs change the lives of over two million students per year and help students overcome the odds to access and complete a postsecondary education and, eventually, a better life.
NCAN would like to thank the Kresge and Michael & Susan Dell Foundations for their continued invaluable support in pursuing and completing this report.

Anyone else heard the new Mogwai/Arab Strap collaboration?
Vinyl only--rare as rocking-horse shit but sweet as a nut:
Personally I'm very much in 2 it.
yeah?! Just ordered one. Now I just need a record player to play it on...
Comes with a t-shirt
if you order the deluxe package.
Track sounds good.
Thanks for this!
Have ordered
I was lucky
Andrew at CU sent me a t-shirt down with the promo. Ironically I asked for a Chemikal Cassette one, as I didn't even know if my ancient deck was still alive until the virgin spin of "Towns". Ordered the Aloha one as soon as I was done listening, though. Tracks like these need to be commemorated.
Will be interesting to see how the Aloha sound weighs up against the Mogwai squawky hawk leak that everyone's (not) talking about.
thanks for the pointer
Of course
It's not actually a Mogwai/Arab Strap collab, seeing as it's just one person from each band. Kylie Minogue and Paul McCartney on Jools Holland was hardly a Neighbours/Beatles collab!
I ordered it
last week - looking forward to its eventual arrival.
That's the first review I've read though and sounds promising..
Very true...
... but my way saves ink.
The previews sound great
If only I had a record player... :(

About my novel:Nicolette Morel use to be a normal girl, but now she's a Night Child going to a special school just for Night Children. She isn't a vampire, or a demon, she's something different and something more powerful. Her life was great, until Catherine Cameron the head mistress of the school unexpectedly dies due to a vampire attack, and many others get hurt due to these attacks. The students are kept inside the walls of the secret school, but two students disobey every order given to them in order to save their friends and fellow peers. Will Nicolette and Marcie; her room mate survive the attacks, or will the vampires claim their new young blood donor too soon?
I know my writing somewhat sucks, no need to tell me that.

FAQs for Knee Replacement
What happens after I schedule surgery?
Dr. Hickman's medical assistant will schedule your surgery with the facility you and Dr. Hickman have selected. She will then authorize this procedure with your health insurance company. Please understand that authorization is not a guarantee of payment and it is always a good idea that your check with your insurance company also regarding deductibles, copays, and coinsurance responsibilities. You also should have selected a preoperative appointment in our office. This usually takes place 1-2 weeks prior to your surgery date.
How do I prepare for surgery?
Have nothing to eat or drink after midnight the night before your surgery. You should also wash your surgical site with an antibiotic soap (which will be given to you at your preoperative appointment). You do not need to shave over your surgical site, this will be taken care of in the operating room.
What time will my surgery be?
Your surgery time will be set by the hospital or surgical center. They will contact you the last working day before the surgery. They usually call after 1 pm. Questions or concerns regarding the time of your surgery should be addressed to the hospital.
Should I stop my medications prior to surgery?
This will be discussed at your preoperative appointment. If you are taking Asprin, Ibuprofen, Naproxen, or any other anti-inflammatories you will need to stop these one week prior to the surgery. If you are on Plavix or other blood thinners, please contact Dr. Hickman's office to determine when these should be stopped prior to surgery. If you are a diabetic DO NOT take your diabetic medications after midnight on the day of surgery.
How do I care for my wound?
Your incision will be closed with dissolving sutures under the skin. There will be no need to remove any stitches. You will go home with a dressing over the wound which may be removed a couple of days after surgery, most patients will not need a dressing after this. Leave the tape on your incision for 2-3 weeks postoperatively. You can get your incision wet, but still no soaking (no bathtub, swimming, or hot tubs) for 4 weeks following surgery.
Do I need a motion machine after Knee Replacement surgery?
Studies show a motion machine does not improve motion or function after surgery. We currently do not recommend using one at home.
How will my wound look after surgery?
Redness and increased warmth around your incision can be normal. You may continue to note increased warmth for up to one year. If you experience significant drainage from your wound (drainage that soaks through a gauze pad in 5-6 hours), redness extending away from your incision or flue like symptoms, please notify our office immediately.
Do I need TED hose (compression stockings)?
Most patients do not need compression stockings after surgery. They do not help prevent blood clots but may be helpful for swelling for select patients.
What about dental work after joint replacement?
Antibiotics before dental work are not necessary unless a tooth is being extracted for an infection or major periodontal procedures such as gum or bone surgery. They are not necessary for cleanings, cavity fillings, tooth crowns, or other routine exams.
How long will I need to take pain medication after surgery?
Get off pain pills as soon as possible. You should anticipate discontinuing your pain medication between 2-4 weeks after surgery.
Will I need home health after surgery?
Dr. Hickman recommends outpatient physical therapy whenever possible. Depending on your personal circumstances, you may be released to a rehab center or to home with home healthcare. In either circumstance, it is anticipated that you would complete rehab or home healthcare at 7-14 days. You should make every effort to work hard so you can get to outpatient therapy in no more than 14 days.
Will I need physical therapy after surgery?
Yes. Start outpatient therapy within a few days of leaving the hospital or surgery center. Most patients attend formal therapy 2-3 times per week for approximately 6 weeks after surgery. You will be doing exercises on your own at home as well.
What will my knee feel like after surgery?
Many patients complain of painless "knocking" or "clicking" in the knee after surgery, this is very normal. This is not causing any damage to the knee. Swelling, warmth, and occasional stiffness are also very common for the first year after surgery.
Can I kneel on my knee after surgery?
Yes, you may kneel as tolerated. Most patients do have tenderness and difficulty kneeling the first few months postoperatively, but this typically improves with time.
I'm having difficulty sleeping after surgery, is this normal?
Yes, many patients complain of insomnia after surgery and night pain. This is very normal. Dr. Hickman does not recommend or prescribe sleeping pills.
How much will I follow up with Dr. Hickman?
Your first postoperative appointment will be 3 weeks after your surgery, then a follow up at 4 months after surgery, and again at 1 year after surgery. Then you will need annual appointments each year. Should you have questions or concerns outside of those timeframes, please contact our office.

Every day it seems new technologies come out which connect our world even more tightly, changing how we communicate with one another. Blogging is a current trend that is showing promise. If you would like to learn more about it, continue reading. You will find some great advice here for starting and maintaining a successful blog.
Do not overuse Adsense ads, plug-ins, images or keywords. This will send up red flags to the search engines, which will negate all of your previous efforts. Try to write naturally, and you will find your work reads smoothly.
Be certain your blog uses SEO, or search engine optimization. You need to keep your blog high in the page ranks so that people can find it. Select a group of keywords, and make sure they appear in the title and body of blog posts so that you bring in a large number of visitors.
When you set up your blog, it may be wise to buy a domain name instead of utilizing a free site. A domain name is fairly inexpensive, and will make your blog look a cut above the rest. Choose something memorable and relative to the content.
Keep your posts brief and to the point. Your blog needs to be filled with information, but also be concise and readable. The average blog reader isn't looking for Shakespearean type descriptions or laureate material. People want content, not fluff.
When writing a blog post, strive to provide information that will really intrigue your readers. Everyone does daily chores like vacuuming or washing dishes. Such content would have to be presented in a unique way to get readers to care. Focus your blog on something that you know people will want to read. Your goal is to have a unique idea that will cause people to come to your blog and stay.
Post lots of new content on a regular basis, as this will keep readers hungry for more quality posts. Great blogs usually post at least one time a day. If this seems like a hectic schedule to keep, create several weeks of pre-written content before making your blog visible to the Web. This helps fill the gaps if you find you are having troubles coming up with something worthwhile to post.
Ask the owners of popular blogs to contribute a guest post to your site. This will enhance your site's profile and improve its content. If they let their readers know that they're writing something for you, you should also see an influx of traffic. This tactic can be done by using guest bloggers, and will result in a better blog.
Social Media
A site with no new content will also gain no new readers. Popular blogs often post daily. If you are having trouble with this, you may want to have a lot of content already written before your blog goes live. This helps fill the gaps if you find you are having troubles coming up with something worthwhile to post.
Use social media networking links in order to assist your readers in following you. Social media can strengthen your connection with your blog readers by giving them the opportunity to receive additional content from you. Always remember how important social media sites are, and use them to reach out to current readers and draw in new ones.
Read all of your comment,s and try to respond to any feedback given without taking it too personally. Regardless of the subject matter, someone is sure to offer criticism. Use constructive criticism to help improve the quality of your blog. If the criticisms are harsh or baseless, simply respond politely and do not engage further. This will display a greater sense of professionalism, and will impress your readers.
Don't forget about the logistics. This means that you should perform all of the maintenance that needs to be done and change small things every once in a while. This prevents boredom for your readers and will keep them coming back for return visits to your blog.
Give your readers the ability to comment on your posts and then take the time to reply to each. That way, visitors can take an active role in your blog and you can begin to build strong relationships with them. Additionally, if you respond to their comments, they will come back because they want to read what you have to say.
Start developing your blog's mailing list as early as possible. The quicker you start, the more time you will have to make your list bigger. This list will help you increase your revenue as time goes on. Neglecting to start a mailing list can greatly affect the efficiency of your site.
One of the first things you should do when setting up a blog is to start a mailing list. The sooner you begin compiling your list, the more time you will have to grow it. This list can be utilized to make more money in the future. Not beginning a mailing list early can be a huge mistake.
Maintain your blog's integrity by posting on a regular schedule. There are new blogs showing up every single day, and if you are not posting on a consistent basis, your visitors may start looking for someone that does. While you should feel free to take breaks around the holidays or other special occasions, frequent posting should be your goal.
Stay patient when trying to get new readers. Building a following for your blog takes time. You also have to build up the amount of content on your blog before there is enough to entice a large audience to visit. You create more content as time goes on which will draw more and more readers.
Whenever you can, make lists that include your keywords. This helps the search engines access your content and highlight the important aspects of your blog which will bring in more readers over time. This piece of advice is quite powerful and can help you in a number of ways.
It's important to select unique, non-competitive keywords for your site. Unique keywords allow you to rise high in the search engine results, leading to more visitors. If you want multiple views, your content must be unique.
Ensure that you are not over-simplifying your approach to blogging. You should constantly develop new strategies, learn new techniques and treat your blog as a revenue source. Learn the techniques and strategies seasoned bloggers use to improve your running a blog skills. Continuously learning new methods and applying them will keep your blog moving forward.
Make use of social media platforms to direct visitors to your blog, but don't go overboard with this. If every tweet you post is just a link to a blog post you've made, people will ignore you in disgust. The main content should be interesting and informative on its own. The links can then reinforce this content.
It is fine to occasionally recommend your blog on social media, but take it easy. If all your tweets are only a link to your blog, then they will be ignored. Include independent, useful information along with the links.
Always include a page where people can easily contact you. This will allow your visitors to be able to contact you with any questions that they might have. You simply cannot know for certain who is reading the posts you make; some of your readers may have extremely valuable insights. You can only tap into them if you provide a way for them to get in touch with you.
Creating more and more posts for your blog that are relevant, will increase the chance that you have to get your site found on the search engines. The easier it is for people to find your blog, the more readers you'll attract. Use this guidance and watch your visitor numbers grow.
Ensure that you use links wisely on your blog, including in your content. Make it easy for your readers to navigate your site and keep them from becoming frustrated. It is really bad when you visit a site and there is no way to find the content for which you are searching.
Take the time to make your keywords italic and bold. This will help them stand out to your readers, and it is also something that the SE spiders like. Keywords and phrases which stand out in your content will get clicked on by visitors, which is your goal.
You should always remember that blogging is very social. You should be easy for your readers to contact. You also need to make contacts that write about the same topics that you do. You will never be successful if you just sit back and wait. You must be proactive for your blog's success.
Take the time to set up a contact page. This will make it easy for your visitors to make contact if they should have any questions. Your blog may be read by a wide variety of people, and allowing them to get in touch may provide valuable feedback, including that from perspectives you hadn't considered.
It has been shown that many web surfers are not interested in reading content; therefore, you highlight the information in your blog using several techniques. Titles which titillate will bring in readers from search engines, social media and other blogs which link to you. Including lists made up of bullet points is also an excellent strategy.
It is important to make certain that the links you include on your blog bring your readers to an operative, designated spot. This improves your readers' ability to navigate your site, making their experience better. Readers find it very frustrating to land on a site without being able to easily navigate the page and locate information quickly.
At the same time, as you are building content on your blog, you should be working on building links to it. When paired with your blog, this is something simple to do that can help you receive more visitors and earn more money when blogging.
Increase the interactivity of your blog with readers' polls or surveys. Your readers will enjoy the opportunity to voice their beliefs and traffic to your site will increase accordingly. It's important, of course, to provide feedback on the results of polls and surveys. You can tailor your blog based on the information revealed in the surveys.
Videos can be included in your blog to give it a more appealing look. Don't just use videos though, there needs to be well written articles, too. Provide written content that describes what happens along with the video so your reader knows what to expect when they click play. Include relevant keywords in these descriptions, so that they will be counted by the search engines.
Catch viewers' attention quickly with your blog articles or they may not bother to read them. This can be done by using attention grabbing headings with bold keywords. Bulleted lists are useful for holding the reader's attention as well.
An excellent method of building traffic to your blog is to trade links. Try trading links with others who blog about the topics that are relevant to your blog and they will send more readers to your site. You should stay away from big, generic link exchanges, as they tend to expose your blog's link to Internet users that won't be interested in your blog's topics. Put your energy into good traffic that will result in higher search engine ranks.
You will want to consider carefully whether to allow advertising on your blog. Using advertisements is a common way to make income with a blog. Despite any other factors, using ads demonstrates some undeniable facts about a blog and the blogger who runs it. This means your readers know you are attempting to earn money.
Only add content when you feel that you have something relevant to say. Do not just put anything up just for the sake of filling up your blog with information. Readers are able to tell the difference between real content and filler, and they won't want to return to your blog if your content isn't good.
Utilize tabs for direct access to your featured posts. Also remember that the spot that immediately proceeds your sidebar is an important one. You can make a tabbed zone that has all of the essential articles for each of your categories that are most relevant. This lets you see what can be found and it can greatly increase your click rate for your chosen articles.
Jaiku micro-blogging and Twitter are services that you can use to your advantage. Your visitors will be able to keep a better handle on updates to your site if you include features like this. This method is excellent for staying in contact with your readers and for keeping them interested and caught up.
Bear in mind that anyone, anywhere can access a public blog. Anyone and everyone has access to your blog and by extension to your thoughts. This idea is often an empowering one, and even without monetary incentive this benefit alone drives many people to blog.
If you find yourself struggling with writer's block, try alternating which content you produce each day. For example, write something one day, produce some audio content the next, and put together some videos on the third day. By incorporating different types of content and media, you will keep your blog interesting. This not only keeps the content itself fresh, but helps you approach your blog in a fresh and exciting way.

The Mystery Of The Hidden Room
8:00 pm 3 September 2013
There isn't much biographical available for Marion Harvey, who was reported to have been born in 1900, but due to early publication information and some performance data, the author appears to be American and the author of several mystery novels and plays between 1922 and 1935. The first of these was "The Mystery of the Hidden Room."
Hidden Room and two other works (one novel, one play) feature Graydon McKelvie, a Sherlock Holmes-worshipping detective. In addition to noting that the criminal device employed in Hidden Room is noteworthy, SS Van Dine once noted (in "The Great Detective Stories," 1927), "The deductive work done by Graydon McKelvie is at times extremely clever."
"The Mystery Of The Hidden Room" is told from the viewpoint of Carlton Davies, whose former fiancee Ruth Darwin was blackmailed into leaving him by the man she ultimately married, powerful banker Phillip Darwin. When the husband is murdered and Carlton finds Ruth standing over him with a gun in her hand one night, she is promptly arrested, tried, and packed off to prison.
Carlton never lost his love for Ruth and is steadfast in believing her innocent of the crime, but the New York City police don't share his convictions. He decides to do his own investigating, but since his butler happens to work with Graydon McKelvie, Carlton begs for McKelvie's help, and the chase is afoot. It doesn't take long for McKelvie to learn that practically no one involved with the case is being honest about their activities on the fatal night and several of the bit players are AWOL.
The hidden room of the title makes its appearance relatively early in the story, thus it's not much of a spoiler for it to be headlined in the title. The room in which Darwin was killed appears to be a locked room scenario with burglar alarms on the windows, but even after the secret room is discovered, there remain many mysteries to solve, including a stoneless ring, a new Will naming a mystery woman as the beneficiary, Darwin's missing nephew, and puzzling sachets sprinkled along the investigative trail. McKelvie also has to solve the mystery of a second bullet that can't be found and a lamp that seems to turn on by itself.
Harvey's writing is de rigueur for her day, with cringe-worthy dialog tags now considered passe and a bit comical ("'Well, I'll be hanged!', I ejaculated"), and hints of racism regarding a black servant and some "chink" goons. But the story runs along at a relatively jaunty clip and, although the eventual culprit isn't a huge surprise if you've been paying attention, the journey to the unveiling is entertaining.

Restorative Justice
Nepal's legal/justice system is mostly prosecution-driven and punishment-heavy. It fails to address the holistic issues or ideals of justice, such as the ones espoused by the restorative justice.
We at NIJ have been involved in the very formative stages of introducing restorative justice in Nepal through our engagements in various organizations in the past. Now, we at NIJ hope to create a nation-wide alliance on restorative and collaborative justice, and is working to expand its network with interested individuals and local partners all across the country and beyond.
Restorative Justice in Nepal's Transitional Justice Contexts:
Transitional justice (TJ) is perhaps one of the biggest fields, where RJ values have enormous potential to complement. TJ mechanisms, epitomized typically by Truth and Reconciliation Commissions (TRCs) are set up in the aftermath of conflict to address crimes (and their consequences) carried during the times of conflict. The TRCs also aim at holding perpetrators accountable to their conflict-time deeds, to address victims' needs, and to restore relationships between these two.

Taking Inventory of Earnings
Friday, June 5, 1998
by Paul Larson
CHICAGO, IL (June 5, 1998) -- While the markets were rather hot this pre-summer afternoon, the Fool Portfolio was absolutely smoking. Our basket of stocks rose 2.15% versus the S&P 500's jump of "only" 1.74%. This outstanding day is thanks to half the stocks in the portfolio posting gains of over a buck. Additionally, two of our larger positions, America Online (NYSE: AOL) and DuPont (NYSE: DD), had gains of over two bucks. An excellent way to end a volatile week and start the weekend I must say.
On this June Friday, let's continue on the thread started yesterday by Jeff. In Thursday's recap Jeff took a snapshot of the book value of a handful of the companies the portfolio holds and gave a good explanation of how to calculate it. Today, let's look at a different metric of valuing companies -- earnings multiples. Let's quickly take inventory of exactly what the earnings picture looks like for the stocks in the portfolio.
First, here is what the trailing earnings look like using today's closing prices.
Ticker Price Trailing Earnings PE Ratio AMZN $44.25 $(1.51) NA AOL $83.25 $0.32 260.16 COMS $27.19 $0.13 209.13 DD $79.63 $1.98 40.21 DJT (short) $8.56 $(2.04) NA INVX $17.75 $1.98 8.96 IOM $5.88 $0.26 22.60 IP $47.44 $(0.36) NA KLAC $27.63 $1.42 19.45 LU $73.00 $0.33 221.21 T $61.88 $2.91 21.26 TDFX $19.75 $0.46 42.93 XON $71.81 $3.27 21.96Just as there are a hundred ways to skin a cat, there are numerous different ways to look at trailing earnings. For simplicity's sake, the numbers cited here are all provided by Hoover's on the Fool's homepage. Many of these numbers include one-time charges to earnings, such as the merger charge 3Com (Nasdaq: COMS) took in its first fiscal quarter.
Looking at trailing earnings alone, one might get the impression that a great number of stocks in the portfolio are greatly overvalued. With two of the companies held long, Amazon.com (Nasdaq: AMZN) and International Paper (NYSE: IP), showing red ink and three others, America Online, Lucent (NYSE: LU), and 3Com, all sporting PE ratios above 200, many of the stocks here can hardly be called cheap when looking at multiples of trailing earnings.
However, look into the future and the stocks in the portfolio don't look nearly so expensive...
Ticker Date Forward Earnings FPE AMZN Dec-99 $(0.72) NA AOL Jun-99 $0.90 92.50 COMS Jun-99 $1.45 18.75 DD Dec-99 $4.14 19.23 DJT (short) Dec-99 $(1.94) NA INVX Sep-99 $2.34 7.59 IOM Dec-99 $0.44 13.35 IP Dec-99 $3.28 14.46 KLAC Jun-99 $1.80 15.35 LU Sep-99 $1.93 37.82 T Sep-99 $3.84 16.11 TDFX Dec-99 $2.03 9.73 XON Dec-99 $3.20 22.44(Source: First Call)
Notice that when using the future earnings estimates the average multiple our stocks trade at precipitously drops. Eight of the twelve long positions in the portfolio trade at less than 20x earnings estimates while two of them, Innovex (Nasdaq: INVX) and 3DFX (Nasdaq: TDFX), are trading at less than 10x forward earnings. Furthermore, only two companies are expected to show a loss in 1999, and one of those, Trump (NYSE: DJT), we hold short.
The lesson here is that our particular brand of investing discipline puts a much greater weight on future results than on what is logged in the history books. We wouldn't have it any other way. While looking and learning at the past performance can be insightful, looking forward to the future is a more useful and profitable way of valuing companies. At least that's what we have personally found.
I'm sure we'll get e-mail over the weekend from some folks who disagree and have made money in the market by giving greater consideration to past performance. That's wonderful. Another lesson that can't be repeated enough here is what we decide to do here is our own personal investing decision. You need to decide for yourself what style of investing you are most comfortable with. If you have found a different method of investing that has worked for you and maximized returns while minimizing risks, congratulations! That's excellent. Because if you're investing on your own and beating the market over the long-term, you've found Foolishness in at least one form. (It's good in all forms.)
There are literally thousands of way to value stocks and thousands of other disciplines for buying and selling using those valuations. Heck, just in the Hall of Portfolios alone we have the Boring and Cash-King portfolios that are both run by different people, and both of them have distinctly unique ways of looking at companies. We also have the Drip Portfolio, which offers its own strategies as well.
We're not professing here in the FoolFolio that our valuation techniques and disciplines are the end-all, ultimate way to choose stocks. Far from it. Maybe if we could only get our techies at Fool HQ to get that Foolish Crystal Ball out of beta-testing...
The points to take home this weekend are this: We usually look much more closely at expected future results than at past performance. This is what we have found to work for us in the past (with AOL, Iomega, Medicis, Amazon so far, etc.), and we expect it to work for us in the future. We may be wrong and crazy about this, but it is our discipline. Our growth-investing bent may be different than yours, but that's fine since there are different strokes for different folks.
Have a great weekend!

MamaBlogger365 – Learning to Live: Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life by Elle Gallo
We attract what we ARE, not what we want. We ARE what we THINK.
Change your thoughts, change your life.
What we ARE is a culmination of the energy produced by our thoughts, the words that reflect those thoughts and actions we take. What we ARE is what we tell ourselves; what we think of ourselves, and what we tell others about us. And if we attract what we ARE and not what we want, we should pay close attention to our thoughts and words!
Exercise 1: Create a mantra/affirmation that serves you!
What DO you think of yourself? What are you telling yourself? What are you saying about your self to your friends… your co-workers, your social networks? And more importantly, what are you saying about your self to your self? If your thoughts and words aren't in line with your wants, you'd better change your verbiage — like NOW. Thoughts are things, words give those things power. Take back your power, sisters! Create your experience by controlling your thoughts.
Did you tell your co-worker you were exhausted today? Did you hear your self think "I feel like crap"? Or are you worried about how you're going to pay your mortgage? (Therefore thinking you don't have enough money?) Did you say you're sick?
Then guess what? You're exhausted, sick, feeling like crap and broke.
Change your reality by changing your thoughts!
"I AM/FEEL_________________________!!!" Think it, doodle it on paper!!! Breathe it in. Write it on your mirror! Say it out loud… SCREAM IT from a mountaintop!!!!! Declare it and OWN it! Believe it! Feel it! BECOME IT!!
I guarantee you that if you tell yourself something long enough, you will not only believe it, you will become it.
I used to wake up with a feeling of dread. I didn't want to begin my day; I just wanted to keep rolling back over and heading back to la-la land. About a year ago I vowed to tell myself upon waking every single day, "Good-morning, Beautiful! Today is a great day!" It didn't matter if I didn't remember to say it until 3 in the afternoon! As soon as I remembered, I said it. More often than not, though, I'd remember pretty quickly after waking. I'd immediately feel a lift in my emotions. The longer I did it, the bigger and longer lasting the lift was. And my day time experiences were changing.
About a month into this, I was in the in-between stage of sleep and wake; the stage where you realize that's where you were after-the-fact, after-the-"awakening". I caught my-self saying to my-self — note: "Good-morning, Gorgeous! Today's gonna be a GREAT day!" I woke up shocked, surprised, and excited beyond belief! I changed what I was saying to myself! I changed the way I thought! I think it's interesting to notice the difference in the wording. There was also a difference in the personality and the emotion that said it. Hindsight showed me that when I purposely told myself, "Good-morning, Beautiful, today is a great day!", that there was a hopefulness in it, and it was also very sweet. But, "Good-morning, Gorgeous, today's gonna be a GREAT day!" was said with a saucy certainty. Not surprisingly, since I've continued this practice daily, my daily experiences have changed substantially as well. The world is a much brighter place for me.
Exercise 2: Create a mental DVD — An easy, proactive exercise to help yourself out when you're stuck in old patterns of unwanted thinking.
So, now we know that our thoughts produce our reality and that we have the power to change our thoughts! Here's another way to take responsibility for what we are thinking about!
When it dawns on you that you don't like the way you feel — and I'm not talking about long periods of sadness (although this is the first step I'd recommend to turn that around as well), but when you're driving your car and you realize that you're frustrated, or down, or any other emotion that isn't "good", YOU CAN CHANGE THAT -and I mean Right Away.
It just takes some forethought and a little bit of planning.
Schedule in a half hour for yourself this week– make this as elaborate or as convenient as you'd like. If elaborate, plan you're time accordingly! You need a half hour for this exercise. Id' recommend having a notebook ready.
Once your positioned comfortably… JUST BREATHE…. as a thought comes into your head, recognize it, and then JUST BREATHE ….
Do you have a memory of feeling sheer joy? Remember it fully. Every detail of the occasion. Colors, sounds, people, words. Remember it until you can feel the Joy… then stay in that place as long as you'd like.
Do you have a special place? One in which you feel peaceful and calm, content? Imagine it. All the details. colors, sounds, shapes. Imagine it until you can feel the Peace… then stay in that place as long as you'd like.
Creating Joy and Peace
Once you're in the reflective Joy or reflective Peace state and you're ready to move on, ask yourself "What would make me feel even more Joy/Peace than this? And imagine THAT.
Sometimes you'll find that when you plug in your answer to the imagery, it DOESN'T bring more joy/peace, but less! So pay attention to the feelings that your imagery produces!
Repeat the CREATING step as many times as you'd like!
Now you have created mental movies that you can put in your tool box, and plug 'em into your mind whenever it dons on you that you don't like the way you feel. Instant Joy, and Instant Peace.
Strengthening these images produces greater results, so try to take the time to write them down, but at a minimum, remember to plug in your mental movie on your way to sleep at night. Falling asleep peaceful, content or joyful brings a more restful evening, pleasant dreams and a happier wake-up.
We attract what we ARE, not what we want. We ARE what we THINK.
Change your thoughts, change your life.

At this bridge crossing it has become a watery grave for unwanted mobile phones. A miniature sawdust desert with thousands more dead trees awaiting the sawmill.

I want to highlight for readers a resource that I don't mention often, one that I'm trying to build into a more consistent voice on topics at the intersection of faith and work, particularly work in the law. I want to make you aware of Cross & Gavel audio.
I've been podcasting at Cross & Gavel now for close to 4 years, and we have produced 31 podcasts, on topics ranging from the Christian calling of the criminal defense lawyer, to reading lists, to law libraries and ideas on engaging the law school campus for Christ.
In an effort to be more regular in posting the podcasts, I'm hoping for a roughly twice-monthly schedule. I want to highlight the two latest and let you know that a discussion of the Vanderbilt religious liberty debacle is forthcoming.
In volume 30, I'm interviewed by David Nammo, executive director of the Christian Legal Society, about T.S. Eliot's Murder in the Cathedral, one of my favorite pieces of literature. Here's an excerpt:
Nammo: You're a professor, so you love to talk about the history and all this stuff.
Me: Blah, blah, blah, blah . . .
Nammo: But so what? What about you? What does it mean in your life? What does it mean in my life?
My response touches on the beautiful rendering by Eliot of the little injustices we tolerate in the midst of mundane life, in contrast to our unspoken fear of living in the face of that big affront to justice: sin. And he ties it to vocation: what can we really do in light of the incarnation in a fallen world? It's a great play and a short, fun discussion about it.
Florida Law Professor Steven Willis on the religious rights of corporations, a topic that has come to the fore with the Hobby Lobby litigation over the HHS Mandate.
Professor Willis sets out in some details some of the best and worst arguments for the recognition of free exercise rights in corporate entities. He also goes on to suggest other possible responses and legislation on the matter.
Find the podcasts in the list at the landing page of the Cross & Gavel website, or on the Regent University page on iTunesU:
