Business Etiquette in Germany
Are you planning a business trip to Germany? Then you should know the business etiquette in Germany well. After all, business partners are expected to stick to the business etiquette. Punctuality is the top priority. Appear a few minutes early for a business appointment than five minutes late. If something really interferes and you cannot make the appointment punctually, it is advisable to give the business partner a short message by phone. To cancel a meeting at the last minute would be an absolute no-go. Here are more tips for business etiquette in Germany.
Business dress code, business cards & gifts
Germans attach great importance to being well dressed. Under no circumstances should you dress too casually. This is perceived as disrespectful in Germany. Choose more formal, conservative and tend to inconspicuous clothing. With a dark suit, a white shirt and, if necessary, a simple tie, you, as a gentleman, are properly dressed in most cases. Women should not dress sexily and refrain from too much make-up, pompous jewelry or accessories.
Presenting a business card at the first meeting is a good thing. According to Business Etiquette you hand over your business card first. If several business partners are present, start with the highest ranking. If you don't know the hierarchy in the company, simply distribute your business cards in a row. Presenting gifts at a business meeting, on the other hand, is rather uncommon. If you decide to do so, choose a small gift of good quality that is not too expensive. With an original office product or a local souvenir from your home region, you are usually right. If you receive a gift or business card from your correspondent, you should give it your due immediately before you pack it away.
Respect the privacy of the other
To greet and say goodbye, you shake hands in Germany: a short handshake, not too strong, but not flabby. Look your interlocutor in the eye. In the salutation you use preceding titles – such as doctor or mayor – and the last name of the opposite. Never duce a person unless she explicitly offers you the "you". In general, the Germans appreciate, if the interlocutor respects their privacy, knocking before entering their office and the physical distance, which should be at least one meter, maintains.
Smalltalk topic: Smalltalk is common in everyday German business but is generally a bit scarcer than in other cultures. In Germany, work and private life are strictly separated. Therefore, don't be too personal with small talk and avoid taboo subjects like income and negatives in general. As far as business communication is concerned, Germans express themselves directly. Try to articulate your opinion clearly and not "beat around the bush". Your hosts will appreciate it. What they don't appreciate, is a penetrating phone ringing during a conversation. Mute or set it to vibrate for the duration of the meeting.
Finally, a tip for business lunches: Start with the food, if the host has given the signal, and wish all present a "Guten Appetit"! If you internalize these rules of behavior, you are prepared for the most important situations on your business trip to Germany.

A Buddy Judge Sampler
Buddy spends the later half of the nineties as an indispensable sideman for Aimee Mann and Michael Penn among others. He worked with Aimee on her Bachelor No. 2 and Magnolia albums and becomes interested in scoring movies and TV. And that's what he's been concentrating on since then. Most recently he seems (along with Jim Boggia) to have been caught up in the burgeoning Power Pop Ukulele scene(!) and he co-leads the The Ukulele Orchestra of the Western Hemisphere group.
Below is a long standing project to incorporate some of the most fun incidental instrumental music from Buddy's along with some rare tracks from his long career. I've included some of the extra tracks at the end of Buddy's "Profiles in Clownhenge" solo record along with some solo and group demo tracks by Buddy and the Grays. Loyal Gray fans probably have most of these tracks but perhaps will enjoy the (relatively) new solo tune from 2012 along with the soundtrack material incorporated. For those new to Buddy, there are lots of great songs to enjoy. Let's hope we get another installment of great music from this talented musician.
1 Vision - Bonus track from "Profiles in Clownhenge"
2 Just Another Girl - Bonus track from "Profiles in Clownhenge"
3 Flower Girl - Soundtrack Instrumental from "Flower Girl"
4 The Alt-Waltz - Soundtrack Instrumental
5 I Found You - From 2012 "Mother's Day" single
6 It's a Picnic - Soundtrack instrumental From "According to Spencer"
7 Beautiful People - Bonus track by The Buddy System
8 Animal Spy Jazz - Soundtrack instrumental
9 Oh Nevermind - Single from "The Buddy System"
10 The Levy Waltz - Soundtrack instrumental from "Sir! No Sir!"
11 Complicated - B-Side Rolling Stones cover by the Grays
12 Nothing - Grays demo track
13 This is Forever - Soundtrack instrumental from "Flower Girl"
14 A Perfect Day - Extra track from "Profiles in Clownhenge"
14 In The Bath - Soundtrack instrumental from "Disturbing the Peace"
16 Everybody's World - Demo version
17 Sitting Curbside - Soundtrack instrumental from "According to Spencer"
18 Oh Nevermind - Outtake grays version
19 Nothing - Grays acoustic version

good stuff! Living here in Boston, saw the Buddy System may, many times, and I can tell you, they were not playing the kind of music MOST Boston area folks were into...granted, "Go Back To Hollywood" from their lp got some airplay, but they were more aligned sonically with bands like Shoes rather than the Real Kids.......

So I have a question. Do you remember if Buddy Judge ever sang lead with the Buddy System? The info I have on the Buddy System lists Ron Baldwin as lead singer. I assume that Buddy was a major song writer for the band.

i don't think so.....i believe the singer's name was indeed Ron, and he's the guy with the long hair on the cover of the "Buddy System" LP...that said, my memory is fuzzy enough to not remember for sure......tho they were in the Boston area then- radio-giant WBCN's Rock and Roll Rumble contest in 1986, and, sadly, didn't win!!!!!

I remember the buddy system well..before they had a drummer and bassist and used a reel to reel tape player.. It was just Ron and buddy taking turns to sing lead and harmonising... They looked good too white shirts black trousers and matching black solid body electro acoustic guitars and rooms long hair was lacquered to form a massive sort of halo round his head... Excellent stuff!

The link between fast food and depression has been confirmed
According to a recent study headed by scientists from the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and the University of Granada, eating commercial baked goods (fairy cakes, croissants, doughnuts, etc.) and fast food (hamburgers, hotdogs and pizza) is linked to depression.
Published in the Public Health Nutrition journal, the results reveal that consumers of fast food, compared to those who eat little or none, are 51% more likely to develop depression.
Furthermore, a dose-response relationship was observed. In other words this means that "the more fast food you consume, the greater the risk of depression," explains Almudena Sánchez-Villegas, lead author of the study, to SINC.
The study demonstrates that those participants who eat the most fast food and commercial baked goods are more likely to be single, less active and have poor dietary habits, which include eating less fruit, nuts, fish, vegetables and olive oil. Smoking and working more than 45 hours per week are other prevalent characteristics of this group.
A long-term study
With regard to the consumption of commercial baked goods, the results are equally conclusive. "Even eating small quantities is linked to a significantly higher chance of developing depression," as the university researcher from the Canary Islands points out.
The study sample belonged to the SUN Project (University of Navarra Diet and Lifestyle Tracking Program). It consisted of 8,964 participants that had never been diagnosed with depression or taken antidepressants. They were assessed for an average of six months, and 493 were diagnosed with depression or started to take antidepressants.
This new data supports the results of the SUN project in 2011, which were published in the PLoS One journal. The project recorded 657 new cases of depression out of the 12,059 people analysed over more than six months. A 42% increase in the risk associated with fast food was found, which is lower than that found in the current study.
Sánchez-Villegas concludes that "although more studies are necessary, the intake of this type of food should be controlled because of its implications on both health (obesity, cardiovascular diseases) and mental well-being."
Bad science here. There's a link, maybe, but what causes what? People who eat junk food are also more likely to be single and work 45 hours or more a week. Does eating fast food cause THOSE things as well? Correlation is not causation. So the real scientist would next do a randomized double blind study to see if the theory generated here about depression and fast food is a real one. Until then this is all speculation. Too bad the media falls for this over and over again. Fail.

During November and December of 2013 I felt as if my life had drifted into a place between the egos need to do this and that, and the inner need to go within and tend to myself.
I had arrived at a place where I was being given the message to pause and breathe; except I didn't know it. I resented this unfamiliar space because I really had too much to do… for everyone else. This pausing energy was in conflict to plowing ahead and pushing forward. I've never really been the pausing kind of person and the Holiday season had arrived in full swing. I was running out of time for making and buying gifts and participating in seasonal activities. And like many other people at this time of the year, I was running out of energy. But running out of energy didn't make me pause; it made me move faster.
Then it happened: I hit the wall, crashed and burned. I was forced to step back from almost everything on my massive and seemingly endless "to do" list. The way I was operating was no longer working for me. I couldn't continue to just do, do, do and go, go, go; it had worn me down and out. Next came the realization that I had totally neglected myself in the process.
Self-neglect is a condition that I believe goes highly unrecognized: an all-too common state of being that drains and sickens when left unacknowledged and unchecked. The best action is, of course, to be proactive and recognize early on when we need to hit the pause button to rest, recover and restore. However, when we fail to hit that pause button, it gets pushed for us, when our bodies and our spirit basically say, "enough is enough; we're going to take a break NOW".
You know what I mean. When simple tasks become too much, enough is enough. When normal thought processes become challenging and creativity is limited, enough is enough. When nails go unmanicured, dull skin & shadowed eyes become constant companions, and sadness weaves its way through our emotions, enough is enough.
We are the ONLY assigned caretakers of our whole self. So many self-care actions I knew I needed kept finding their way to the backburner: my feet, which have been waiting weeks for a pedicure; the quiet herbal teas that were being pushed aside for blood pumping caffeine; received guidance waiting to be used; the stack of books waiting to be read. There were other telltale signs of my self-neglect like the half-finished craft projects; tight muscles, clenched teeth and a body that was unable to relax at night; forgetfulness, interrupted sleep and body rashes that indicated irritation at my personal desertion. It really was a slap in the face.
Slowly I am adapting to a new mode of being. Very slowly.
There are some deeply grooved programs and habits to overcome; impatience with myself comes easily.
Seriously, sometimes it just sucks.
In spite of this, I invite you to seriously take a look at how you have been treating yourself and note where you may have participated in some personal desertion or "done a bunk", as those crafty Brits like to say. Where you have run away from yourself? No judgment; most of us have done it. Check how you've been sleeping: are you feeling rested in the morning or exhausted? Really look at your face in the mirror and admit if you like what you see. Look at your skin, nails and feet: what condition are they in? Pay attention to your thoughts and how you feel. Notice any twinging, tight muscles screaming for some stretching.
Healing and transformation come when we can finally see it. 'Cause when you know, you know and there's no getting away from that. So, in the next few weeks, when writing out your bucket list for 2014, make "increase my level of self-care" #2. Make "slow down, pause and breathe"#1. Pause because you care… and want a happier New Year!

They like seeing people being slammed against the wall and the puck flying. If teens see this happen then they will think it's ago to fight.

I've bookmarked Al Jazeera English on my laptop, and become quite addicted to its live stream of coverage from Egypt. This is a revolution whose outcome remains uncertain. It's potentially the fall of the Berlin Wall. Only this time, the United States isn't quite sure who to support.
Still, our government's nuanced indecisiveness takes nothing away from the power of this story — the courage of ordinary men and women facing off with Army tanks in loud but mostly peaceful protest, and that of journalists on the street trying to record this moment of history.
It is here that Al Jazeera excels. Its news organization is professional, if gritty and sometimes technologically challenged, and its access to the streets of Cairo is unparalleled among English-language media.
I've been impressed by the intelligence and commitment of its journalists since the remarkable 2004 film, "Control Room," documented the start of the Iraq War. But, until now, I haven't made a practice of checking the network in my daily news surfing. That's no longer true.
The detail, specificity and emotion of Al Jazeera's accounts from Egypt inform the brain and punch the gut. Among the video posted on its website are some extraordinary, if herkey-jerky, hand-held posts by protesters on the front-lines. But its on-the-street passion is placed in the context of intelligent interviews with experts and academics.
The coverage of other major news outlets has informed too, of course, sometimes in personal terms, such as today's first-person essay by novelist Mansoura Ez-Eldin in The New York Times. But it is Al Jazeera that is keeping me up to the moment — telling me that today seems a lull — a "tense calm" — before tomorrow's major planned protest and strike, marking the first-week of unrest. It is Al Jazeera that is running constant streaming coverage of what is hands down the most interesting news story in the world right now. (Even more important, for example, then the "Porn star describes wild Charlie Sheen party" headline found on the homepage of USA Today.)
It is Al Jazeera bringing voices and faces protesting from the streets. And it is Al Jazeera bringing "live and extended coverage," as the anchor says, despite the fact that Egyptian police have seized the network's cameras and arrested six of its journalists (they were later released). As its coverage continues, Al Jazeera has taken the unusual step of not naming its correspondents on the air to protect their safety and, perhaps, to add a little showman's drama.
It interests me that as the Egyptian revolution continues, a headline The New York Times this week noted that a majority of Americans can agree on just one starting point in cutting the U.S. deficit — by scaling back foreign aid, already a relatively niggling budget line. A front-page story in my Sunday Boston Globe noted that 22 months before our next presidential election, no one in the Republican Party has declared his or her candidacy to run for president. I haven't read about Charlie Sheen's party in either paper, but who knows.
Even in the midst of global upheaval, American news media sometimes seem to have an unquenchable thirst for America's political Punch-and-Judy show and its debauching celebrities. It's not that events in Egypt have taken a back seat. Coverage has been sustained and prominent. It's just that the American media seem to be covering events there more out of a sense of responsibility to big news and from an American governmental perspective than from a sense that this is one of the more remarkable events of this century.
This is where Al Jazeera differs. We can learn something from its coverage. It stems from the ground up, something the best journalism always does. And it recognizes something that American coverage and the American people might learn from: that the world is rapidly changing, leaving Americans behind in our belief in our 'exceptionalism," our outdated sense of global self importance and, sadly, our increasingly antiquated alliances.
Do we really want to push ourselves further into the dark by cutting foreign aid more?

In the Battle Between Man and the Elements at the 2014 Star North Americans, Man: 1
Oxford, MD 08 October 2014
Race Day 1 of the 2014 International Star Class North American Championship delivered all of the tough competition and tight racing as anticipated however it was the elements that ultimately fueled the strife instead of the all-star packed list of sailors. Races 1, 2, and 3 were completed today in remarkably different breeze than forecasted and while the fleet struggled to successfully manage the shifty, unstable conditions, a few sailors dominated them, namely Arthur Anosov & David Caesar (USA 8000), John MacCausland & Rick Burgess (USA 8490), Keith Donald & Kevin Elterman (USA 8087), and Carroll Beek-McCallum & Jock Kohlhas.
Race 1 began with a general recall, followed by a clean start in the second sequence. Six time International Star Class North American Champion John MacCausland and his crew Rick Burgess (USA 8490) took a commanding lead early on in leg 1, rounded each mark in 1st, maintained their lead throughout all 4 legs by protecting the favored left side of the course, and won the race with apparent ease.
Dan Phelps, SpinSheet
In Race 2, the fleet saw the wind shift further left at the start and had set up for the controlling, seemingly persistent left phase but was rocked by a 45° right shift as it approached the top ¼ of leg 1. District 2 locals Keith Donald and crew Kevin Elterman (USA 8087), who had been working up the right side of the course since the start, were the first team to the new breeze and proceeded to round the windward mark in 1st. USA 8087 Donald/Elterman continued to lead the fleet around the course for the remaining 3 legs and crossed the finish line in 1st place, earning their first Silver Star honors: 2 Silver Chevrons and 2 Silver Bars, respectively.
Race 3 began in the right phase wind that slowly shifted back left as the race progressed. After the start, the Star sailors headed straight to the right side of the course without hesitation. Paul Cayard and crew Brian Terhaar (USA 8460) rounded the weather mark in 1st with the 1996 Bahamian Olympic Star team Mark Holowesko and Miles Pritchard (BAH 8406) close behind, who after taking full advantage of a 15° left shift downwind, eventually passed USA 8460 Cayard/Terhaar and rounded the leeward mark in 1st. Despite the now left phase breeze, BAH 8406 Holowesko/Pritchard began heading upwind on the right side of the course again and the entire fleet followed suit, except for one team. On their way downwind, Carroll McCallum and crew Jock Kohlhas (USA 8420) saw more pressure on the left, rounded the right leeward gate mark, and sailed away from the fleet chasing down the breeze. USA 8420 McCallum/Kohlhass bold strategy paid off big time putting them in 1st place around the windward mark with a comfortable lead and they defended their position all the way downwind to the finish to win Race 3. McCallum, one of the 5 novice skippers competing this week, earned her first Star Class honors ever today: 2 Silver Chevrons.
Arthur Anosov and crew David Caesar (USA 8000) proved today that above all else, consistency is the key to overall success, especially in unsteady conditions. With a 3rd, 10th, and 2nd place finish in Races 1, 2, and 3 respectively this afternoon, USA 8000 Anosov/Caesar tops the leaderboard with 15 points total and a 9 point lead.
Top 5 after 3 races (preliminary):
Quotes of the Day
Carroll McCallum, USA 8240: "When you are trying to move up in the fleet, some times you just have to try something different. Jock [Carroll's crew] saw more breeze on the left so we went left. This race win today was for Dodie Beek, my mother, for over 70 years of loving Stars and Star sailors!"
Dave Caesar, USA 8000: "Based on the forecast, we left the dock with flat, heavy air sails and when we got to the racing area it was clear that the conditions were different than the prediction. We did everything we could to power up and stay powered up all day. Transitions and changing gears smoothly was also key today with the shifty breeze, especially in the last two races."

Before the name became a legend.
Before the boy became the man.
Meet Bond. James Bond.
There's something in the water at Loch Silverfin. Something deadly. Something that must be kept secret...
It's James Bond's first day at Eton, and already he's met his first enemy. This is the start of an adventure that will take him from the school playing fields to the remote shores of Loch Silverfin and a terrifying discovery that threatens to unleash a new breed of warfare.
I started reading this the minute I finished Jimmy Coates (see my review: here), and it was unputdownable! It took a while to set the scene, but then it got to the action and I was addicted.
When the term at Eton finishes, James Bond goes on the train and makes an enemy, George Hellebore and a new friend Red Kelly. When he gets to Scotland, he goes to his uncle's cottage and his friend Kelly is in the same village. The two boys go to Lord Hellebore's castle and discover that the Lord is evil...
James was a good character, because he was cool, smart, brave and focused on discovering the truth. He was brave like the grown-up Bond, but he wasn't as aggressive.
Red Kelly was a good fighter, and taught James how to sneak into places, as he'd done it before and even burgled a little bit! He was the one that did all the swearing, because he did it quite a lot, which I found amusing.
Lord Hellebore was good at being a villain, and was very secretive. He pretended to be good, but was actually evil!
Silverfin had a brilliant plot and story. It was epic! I'm definitely reading the next story in the series soon!

But sometimes the choice of cleats you buy has little to do with what they can do for you on the field, it has more to do with how theyll make you feel. Cheap What The Mercurial Superfly Brand New The mid-January release means that the Adidas Ace 16.1 GTI boots will take the center stage for Adidas, with the other new models only expected to be launched in February.

Contrary to Nikes other football boots with Dynamic Fit collars, the Nike Magista Obra and Nike Mercurial Superfly, the new Nike Hypervenom Phantom 2 does not have a complete Flyknit upper. The knitted material is instead only used for the upper back part including the high collar of the Nike Hypervenom Phantom II Cleats.Nikes synthetic NikeSkin material is used for the main part of the new Nike Hypervenom 2 Football Boot, which also features Flywire strings in the midfoot area for increased stability. A remarkable and unique stitching pattern in the touch area was designed for the new Nike Hypervenom 2 Soccer Boots to offer improved ball control.Nike uses conical studs for better rotational agility, similar to the first generation Nike Hypervenom sole plate.

adidas Yeezy Boost 350 ACE Soccer Cleats RED The cheap Nike Mercurial Superfly shoes are so in demand because the fit is superior to that of virtually any other type of cleat you can get. When you put these on your feet you'll notice right away that they fit your feet in a very natural way. This is going to enable you to be very comfortable during play, plus you're going to have some extra room in the tow box area for even more comfort. In order for you to be more competitive on the field you have to work at the things that are causing you to be uncompetitive. In some cases this doesn't have anything to do with your skill. Sometimes you don't go as hard as you need to because you don't feel it mentally. Well the Nike Mercurial Superfly FG Green football boots can change that. Let's look at how this is:
adidas Yeezy Boost 350 ACE Soccer Cleats RED,One of the reasons why I'm against the idea of purchasing cheap new Nike Elastico Superfly football boots is because I believe they won't provide the same level of comfort as more expensive pairsIt only makes sense that if something is cheap there's a reason for it right Cheaper options usually come from lesser brands and they usually aren't infused with the right type of technology to give someone a competitive edge on the field.

Glee's Amber Riley To Star In UP Premiere Movie 'My One Christmas Wish' Posted by Wilson Morales
June 23, 2015
UP has announced that actress/singer Amber Riley ("Glee") has been cast to star – and sing — in the lead role in the original UP Premiere Movie My One Christmas Wish (working title), an emotional drama inspired by the real-life story of driven, straight-A college student Jackie Turner, whose loneliness during the holidays drives her to post a heartbreaking want ad for a family at Christmas on craigslist.
Production began this week in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada on the holiday drama produced by Entertainment One Television and directed by James Head ("R.L. Stine's The Haunting Hour," "The Dead Zone"). My One Christmas Wish will air exclusively on UP this November as part of the network's annual "Everything You Love About Christmas" programming schedule.
The ensemble cast includes Matreya Fedor (UP's My Mother's Future Husband, "Cedar Cove"), Priscilla Faia ("Rookie Blue," "Psych"), Ali Skovbye (Further Adventures in Babysitting, The Gourmet Detective), Ken Tremblett (My Life as a Dead Girl, "The Whispers") and Jarod Joseph ("The 100," "Wayward Pines"). Spyder Dobrofsky (Enough About Jack, Mom's Day Away) wrote the screenplay.
Jackie Turner is a straight-A college student, who was abused, abandoned and starved as a child. Although she has resolutely turned her life around, the holidays are still very painful for her. Facing another lonely holiday break on campus, Jackie takes an ad on craigslist for My One Christmas Wish – a family for Christmas – and even offers to pay $8 an hour. To her surprise, responses flood in. Among the numerous heartfelt invitations and letters of support, she also hears from other young people struggling with the same overwhelming emptiness that comes with spending the holidays without loved ones. Moved and inspired, Jackie decides to throw a big Christmas party – with the last-minute help of her advisor, friends and support group – to find families for all those troubled folks who emailed her, and finds one for herself as well.
"My One Christmas Wish is the emotional, inspiring real-life story of abuse survivor and accomplished college student Jackie Turner, whose heartbreaking ad on craigslist led to an outpouring of love and support for her online," said Barbara Fisher, svp, original programming, UP. "What distinguishes Jackie is that she channeled all of that social media support into a modest, real-world Christmas party for the lonely people who responded and those who wanted to support them. We are delighted to have the NAACP Image Award-nominated, multitalented, recent 'Dancing With The Stars' winner Amber Riley starring in the film."
Riley, best known for her role of "Mercedes Jones" on FOX's Golden Globe and SAG Award-winning musical comedy "Glee," recently won season 17 of ABC's hit competition series "Dancing with the Stars" alongside her partner Derek Hough. She got her first big break when Ryan Murphy cast her in the pilot "St. Sass." Although the pilot was not picked up to series, she was able to use that experience to land a role on the television series "Cedric the Entertainer Presents." Riley has performed in numerous theater productions, including "Alice in Wonderland," "A Midsummer Night's Dream," "Into the Woods" and "Mystery on the Docks" with the Los Angeles Opera. In November 2012, she made her New York stage debut to rave reviews in New York City Center's Duke Ellington's Cotton Club Parade. "(Riley) offered a note-perfect take on "Stormy Weather." – Entertainment Weekly.
Riley has received two individual NAACP Image Award nominations for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy series for her work on "Glee." In 2011, she was nominated for a second Teen Choice Award for Choice TV: Female Scene Stealer and in 2010 received the Most Popular Geek Award at AOL's 1st Annual Geek Awards. Riley previously served as an Ambassador for VH1's Save the Music Foundation and as a member of Seventeen Magazine's Body Peace Council. She is currently in the studio working on her debut solo album.
In December 2013, the real-life Jackie Turner, a straight-A William Jessup University student in Rocklin, CA, north of Sacramento, couldn't bear spending one more Christmas alone, so she turned to the Internet to find some support. "I am looking to rent a mom and dad who can give me attention and make me feel like the light of their life just for a couple of days because I really need it," the then 26-year-old wrote in her craigslist ad. Turner got an overwhelming number of responses from people eager to invite her in. The emails from others spending the holidays without loved ones particularly touched her. So, she invited each person who emailed her about yearning for a family to a meeting at William Jessup. There, she paired up the lonely individuals with people who were willing to lend some support. Her story got local and national attention, starting with "CBS Sunday Morning." In May 2015, Turner graduated Summa Cum Laude from William Jessup University with a degree in Pastoral Ministry. She was also the recipient of the Faculty Choice Award for Most Outstanding Student. In addition, she was a Presidential Scholar, named in Who's Who Among Students in American Universities, and member of the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society.

A few days ago, I recounted our anxieties during a four hour delay as we sat on the tarmac and waited at the gate for our flight from Honolulu to Dulles via San Francisco to lift off and head out. In that time span, we encountered a cargo mix up, a change in cabin crew, and an unusually officious Chief Steward in the Business Class section who wouldn't permit my traveling companion in Economy Plus Class to move on up to the vacant seat beside me.
We finally roared down the runway, headed for San Francisco and our connecting flight to Dulles. To our dismay but not to our surprise, the connecting flight had long since departed San Francisco by the time we landed. What were we going to do? We pondered a few alternatives.
We knew we would arrive in San Francisco after midnight. And we knew, or thought we knew, that the next flight to Dulles departed around seven a.m., arriving at Dulles in the afternoon, too late for a scheduled Mother's Day dinner.
And, the short interval between our arrival and the next flight to Dulles made it impractical to reserve a hotel or motel room in any one of about a thousand establishments around the airport. Plus, leaving the airport's premises would mean a repeat security check when we returned, which is okay in the interests of assuring our national security but which can be a royal pain in that well known bodily location where pain usually resides in times of troubles.
We had thus resigned ourselves to resting the best we could on a bench or on the floor in the terminal, provided that the terminal remained open overnight. Fortunately, our choice of alternatives became moot when we were informed by the agent that we were indeed in luck. A delayed flight would arrive shortly from Dulles and after 30 minutes or so, the plane would return to Dulles. And, wonder of wonder, seats were available, good seats in fact. My buddy had his choice of several window seats and I chose my usual isle seat.
And if that weren't fortunate enough, the middle seat in my row was empty and a young lady occupied the window seat. Throughout the flight, she helped me locate the movable arm rest, various buttons on the television console, and the light switch, which I couldn't see well in the dim light because my eyes were still adjusting after my cataract surgery. She was super-duper all round nice.
But before we learned about our good fortune and boarded the plane, we stood in line mulling our options and chatting generally about the things people chat about while standing in lines at airports. At one point, the guy in front of us chimed in and we learned that he was on his way to the Gulf Coast for a job with an environmental company with a contract to clean up after the recent catastrophic oil spill.
Our new "standing-in-a-line friend," we learned, was married with five children, one of them a newborn son. He had recently lost his job and the Gulf Coast cleanup was the only work he could find. He wanted to remain with his family but he needed to support them even if it meant an extended stay in Louisiana. I empathized with the poor guy, but there was nothing I could do but offer my best wishes.
Finally, we finished our work at the counter, boarded an Airbus Number Something or Other, and took off for Dulles. It was well after one a.m. on Sunday morning, Mother's Day. If we made our appointed Mother's Day dinner, it would be by the hair of our chinney chin chins.
I'll cover our arrival at Dulles and the hour and a half drive to our final destination in the Third Installment. In later installments, I'll write a few words about my impressions of various aspects of the trip, the people we met and the evolution of their clothing and mannerisms from casual to uptight as we moved from West to East.
See ya.

Have you ever considered looking at your "Done List"? Did you even know you had one? You do!
We frequently talk about to-do lists and planning, but you often don't hear us talk about those things that you complete. Today I'll share some thoughts on why that is so very important to your ability to meet your goals and get things done.
You see, it is not JUST about taking ANY Action
One of my quotes that gets shared frequently is "You can be busy all day and still have gotten nothing done."
Do you feel that? Can you relate? So often, we are just busy being busy. That does not necessarily equal productivity. Being productive means that you are taking action on things that are LEADING you to something.
I have to admit, watching these little guys on YouTube made me giggle a little, but it would make me cry to see a person running and running in their business and never getting the results they were looking for.
Look at Your Done List
1 – At the end of today, make a list of everything you have done. The bigger and the smaller things. You could even do it now.
2 – Next, look through the list. Check off everything that is leading you towards your goals.
3 – What is your ratio of checked to unchecked? Being busy is not being productive. If your checked is not greater than your unchecked, fix it tomorrow and see stress diminish.
What is your ratio?

The Beauty of Mathematics in Computer Science explains the mathematical fundamentals of information technology products and services we use every day, from Google Web Search to GPS Navigation, and from speech recognition to CDMA mobile services. The book was published in Chinese in 2011 and has sold more than 600,000 copies. Readers were surprised to find that many daily-used IT technologies were so tightly tied to mathematical principles. For example, the automatic classification of news articles uses the cosine law taught in high school.
The book covers many topics related to computer applications and applied mathematics including:
Natural language processing
Speech recognition and machine translation
Statistical language modeling
Quantitive measurement of information
Graph theory and web crawler
Pagerank for web search
Matrix operation and document classification
Mathematical background of big data
Neural networks and Google's deep learning
Jun Wu was a staff research scientist in Google who invented Google's Chinese, Japanese, and Korean Web Search Algorithms and was responsible for many Google machine learning projects. He wrote official blogs introducing Google technologies behind its products in very simple languages for Chinese Internet users from 2006-2010. The blogs had more than 2 million followers. Wu received PhD in computer science from Johns Hopkins University and has been working on speech recognition and natural language processing for more than 20 years. He was one of the earliest engineers of Google, managed many products of the company, and was awarded 19 US patents during his 10-year tenure there. Wu became a full-time VC investor and co-founded Amino Capital in Palo Alto in 2014 and is the author of eight books.

On Sunday November 10, 2013 we received a comment regarding a posting on our website from a reader identified as Bill. He posted a link to "The Silo" drawing our attention to the fact that Silver Lake is not an Unsolved Mystery and Mayor Travale had gone to the Silo in 2012 to state his detailed position on Silver Lake which included details of its ownership. All of this information is available for the public to read by following the link posted below.
It certainly puts a whole different perspective on the issue. Friends of Silver Lake have invested huge energy and resources in trying to get information which we were told could not and would not be disclosed. It has diverted our attention from other community projects and quite frankly, assuming the information reported as fact in the Silo is true, we community residents have every right to feel we are the victims of game playing. The money paid to research and produce these reports was financed by the taxpayers. While having read through the reports very quickly without discussion a few questions come to mind.
1. Why was the analysis of the soil testing originally deemed as classified? Under what conditions does it become declassified and what is the impact of declassified information?
2. Why were a hundred samples taken and only 10 analyzed?
3. Were the contractors the very same SNC Lavalin who are under investigation internationally for unethical activity?
4. Why were the samples taken only from the surface with simple tools rather than going deeper as well?
5. We put forward a vision based on a project in Tillsonburg in the Simcoe Reformer. Why was the response from the Mayor printed in the Maple Leaf where the story had not been submitted?
6. Is the Silo the official paper for Mayor Travale to communicate with residents in Norfolk? When we asked questions about the ownership, why did he not direct us to the Silo? Are residents who have newspaper subscriptions as well as other publications left in their driveways likely to pick up additional free papers in local grocery stores etc.?
We recognize that leaders sometime have to communicate bad news. This can be done most effectively by stating the situation directly and with understanding of the impact on the receivers. Bad news then should be immediately followed up with consultation with the people most affected and engaging them in positive future planning within a well defined container of givens. This has not been the case regarding Silver Lake and we are left feeling duped by those in power whom we trusted.
We have made every effort to post what we have been told as the facts since we became organized. According to the Silo, Bill comments that "there was no secrecy on the state of Silver Lake. The Silo has been reporting the facts in print and online since 2010- it has taken a few years for others in the media community to make sense of the declassified reports- and frankly, to come to grips with their responsibility as media professionals to report THE FACTS. http://www.thesilo.ca/?s=Silver+Lake&x=0&y=0 ".
This article was printed in the Silo September 24, 2012. Please follow the link to view. We have also taken the liberty of copying the original text below as it was written including typos and grammatical errors.
Mayor Dennis Travale reached out to another local media outlet recently regarding his, and Norfolk County council's, position on the ownership of Misner Dam in Port Dover, Ontario. The mayor's detailed position was reduced to barely a sentence by the paper, so he contacted The Silo in hopes that we would print more of the story. Thank-you Mr. Mayor. We'll give it a try. Here we go:
In 2009-10, the local government made the decision to release a large amount of water (let alone silt) out of the Silver Lake mill pond and into the Lynn River and also Black Creek, and therefore, unavoidably, into the Lake Erie harbour. This was considered to be an inevitable act, bases on the age of the dam and its structural maturity vs. the amount of water in the pond. Normandale dam fairly recently had a catastrophic collapse of its structure and there were universally acknowledge structural deficiencies in Misner Dam that had to be addressed.
So, Misner Dam has either to be repaired and Silver Lake dredged to remove massive silt deposits, some of which may be contaminated with heavy metals and toxic organic compounds (seehttp://www.thesilo.ca/declassified-norfolk-report-reveals-silver-lake-polluted-with-metals/ ), or the dam is to be decommissioned, allowing the Lynn River to run free once again, in absence of a functioning mill to justify a mill pond, in other words-its natural course.
Heated debate has recently surfaced regarding the ownership, and therefore financial (and legal) responsibility for Misner Dam. Here's the rub: The Friends of Silver lake website (www.save-silverlake.com) states at the time of this writing that:
"[t]he Land Registry Office in Simcoe declares the parcel of land identified as "50253-0006″ up0n which sits the Misner Dam as being owned by the County. It is incontrovertible that the County owns the land and the old bridge directly above the dam. From earliest times the map for Plan 207 depicts a dam beneath the "Lynn Street" municipal road allowance. Municipalities own their road allowances and the land beneath them. There is no document at hand showing that the municipality ever in any manner waived its ownership to the lands beneath the Lynn Street bridge crossing over the dam."
Mayor Travale responds that this is utterly inaccurate. Misner Dam does not sit on any land owned by Norfolk County and in fact sits on the bed of the Lynn River which is owned by the province of Ontario. In a closed meeting with said 'other' local media outlet, Mayor Travale made his position clear: Norfok County council has been shown no legal document confirming the county's ownership of the dam.
The Lakes and Rivers Improvement Act (http://www.mnr.gov.on.ca/stdprodconsume/groups/lr/@mnr/@forests/documents/document/275594.pdf) gives full authority over any repairs or work on structures such as Minser Dam. These structures are subject to provincial legislation, enforced by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources who have, according to Mayor Travale, "complete jurisdiction" over the fate of Misner Dam. Mayor Travale has thus thrown down the gauntlet- Show me, he is saying, and show council, any legal basis for the claim that Misner dam belongs to the county. In the meantime, refer to the Lakes and Rivers Improvement Act by which we are all bound, like it or not.
Norfolk County does not contest ownership of the old iron bridge which connects the roadway; however there is no legislation in Ontario or Canada that says "if you own a bridge, you own everything under the bridge." In other words, owning a bridge which has a dam underneath means you own a bridge, NOT the dam there-under. A majority of Norfolk council has and continues to support the "repair" of Misner Dam, however that work cannot be done until the provincial government gives its approval. The County has twice requested permission to complete that work and in both instances the MNR has requested more information and most recently a study which may take months.
So- we don't know right now, but Port Dover might have to give way to a whole new millenium without a part of their heritage, a lake which served a mill, which served a community, and has now come under the jurisdiction of a government determined to right the ecological wrongs of the past. -CD

"Do you hear that sound?"
Oldest looks at me while turning down the radio. "That high-pitched whine?"
I nod and check the gages. Nothing strange.
"Pull over and I'll check the fluids."
I find a spot to stop and pop the hood so my thirteen-year-old son can check the car. "Everything seems okay."
"We'll have dad check it when we get home." I've come to expect maintenance with a car nearing 300,000 miles. At this point we just want to see how long we can keep it going.
We continue on our way. Fifteen miles from home the battery light comes on, Then the needle on the battery gage plummets toward empty.
Oldest looks worried. "I bet it's the alternator."
"Call your dad and let him know that he might have to come get us."
The conversation is limited and Oldest hangs up with a tense look on his face.
"How long do we have without the alternator?"
"He doesn't know."
I pretend that everything is fine, ignoring the tightness in the steering wheel when I change lanes. I chat up Oldest, attempting to keep him from constantly checking my gages.
The exit to our house comes into view. We make it up to the intersection and everything dies. Oldest helps me wrench the steering wheel to the right where a gravel turnoff sits empty.
Oldest pops the hood and jumps back as boiling radiator fluid spurts out of it's reservoir. We start calling home but no one answers.
Oldest is pacing. "Why aren't they picking up?"
"They must be in the back pasture."
Fifteen minutes later, we finally reach Hubs. Oldest and I sit in the trunk of the SUV singing Bottles of Beer on the Wall waiting for Hubs to retrieve us.
Four hours and two trips to the auto parts store later, Hubs has fixed the car on the side of the road. He reports that we suffered more than one catastrophic failure under the hood but all is well.
Me? I'm just thankful for the three good Samaritans that stopped to see if we needed help.
It's a true relief when you realize the large man walking toward you wearing an enormous horse's head is not attempting to rob you but is offering you his services as a mechanic.
We politely declined.

If Harry Potter were a computer hacker …
Rebellion, that makes him the Chosen One, is the quality that Harry Potter seems to share with a computer hacker. So I cannot resist the temptation to see HP's adventures through a computer geek's spectacles.
The idea came to me from Marauder's map and the difficulties Harry faced while finding Malfoy on that map. I wished so strong to suggest Harry to write a simple script (in some magical languages they might have) so that he could write a simple search engine for finding any desired person. After all it was another clever prankster before him who must have put together few magical things together to make that Marauder's map. (I am sure they must be having MagicSoft in their world - but that would cost many galleons to them). Also Harry must have learnt something from the muggle Map sites about the zooming facility they had added. I felt sorry for him when on that sizable map he had to see all the names in the school moving around.
Room of Requirement is a very interesting design pattern. Primarily it is a Factory design class. It creates variety of Room objects to suit the user's requirements. The implementation however is little fuzzy to me. One of the confusing things is its ability to maintain state and moreover its ability to restore that state to the user without any visible mapping using UIDs etc. To elaborate, Harry hides his Half Blood Price potions book in the Room that this RoR generated for him. The fact that one can hide things in these Room objects and can retrieve them later makes it necessary for the Room to maintain state. If RoR generates new Room objects every time then how would it know when to open an old Room object according to the wish of the user. So there should be a unique ID in RoR's database that maps the Room instance to a User and his/her Wish. But I doubt if this magical RoR factory pattern does so. I highly suspect that it's a factory that just picks up Rooms from persistent physical rooms and returns them to the user. That way it makes sense when the same room opened for Prof Trelawney and Malfoy in HBP. But then it remains unexplanied what is RoR's behavior when a user wishes some room with extra-ordinary requirements that physically might not exist at all. Will the RoR throw an exception in such case? NonPracticalWishException ? :)
Being the chosen one, Harry Potter has knowledge of some advanced languages that could help understand Dark viruses spreading in Magic cyber world - for instance Parselmouth (I wish they had named the script language as Parselmouth rather than Python :)
Excuse me if this was a complete torture for you. If you didn't think so, let me know how did you like it!

ITT Educational Services - ESI - close: 50.37 change: -1.67
Stop Loss: 52.60
Target(s): 45.25
Current Option Gain/Loss: Unopened
Time Frame: 3 to 4 weeks
New Positions: Yes, see below
Why We Like It:
Shares of ESI are on the verge of hitting new multi-year lows. The stock has fallen toward support near $50.00. Shares bounced at this level back in 2010. A breakdown here could produce another sprint lower.
I am suggesting small bearish put positions if ESI hits $49.75. Why small positions? Because the most recent data listed short interest at 55% of the
very small 17.9 million-share float. If ESI were to suddenly bounce the stock could shoot higher on a short squeeze.
If triggered at $49.75 we'll aim for $45.25. The Point & Figure chart for ESI is bearish with a $44 target.
NOTE: More conservative traders may want to use a tighter stop loss. My worry here is that ESI sees an intraday dip under $50.00, hits our trigger, and then surges higher (a.k.a. a bear trap).
Trigger @ 49.75 (small positions)
- Suggested Positions -
buy the 2012Jan $47.50 PUT (ESI1221M47.5) ask $2.52
Annotated Chart:
Entry on December xx at $ xx.xx
Earnings Date 01/19/12 (unconfirmed)
Average Daily Volume = 363 thousand
Listed on December 19, 2011
WellPoint Inc. - WLP - close: 63.64 change: -1.31
Stop Loss: 65.75
Target(s): 58.00
Current Option Gain/Loss: Unopened
Time Frame: 3 to 4 weeks
New Positions: Yes, see below
Why We Like It:
The oversold bounce in shares of WLP is already failing. The stock looks poised to breakdown under support in the $63.50 area. I am suggesting a trigger to buy puts at $63.25 with a stop loss at $65.75 (just above Friday's high). More conservative traders could aim for a drop to $60.00. We are setting our target at $58.00.
FYI: The Point & Figure chart for WLP is bearish with a $56 target.
Trigger @ 63.25
buy the 2012Jan $60 PUT (WLP1221M60) ask $1.02
Entry on December xx at $ xx.xx
Earnings Date 01/25/12 (unconfirmed)
Average Daily Volume = 2.9 million

This week I we have the meeting for the International Computational Forensics Workshop at the Netherlands Forensic Institute , where I am looking forward to. The proceedings have been published by Springer.
As you can see we have good weather in Zandvoort where I live.
Next week I will be at the Digital Forensic Research Workshop (DFWRS) conference where I will give the keynote address. I am preparing the presentation, and of course certainly will address the NAS-report, the need of fast peer review within the area of digital Evidence (where I think the journal Digital Investigation works very rapid, since the articles are prepublished now, as also an article of Wiger and me.
This summer I had some time to work on the backlogs, so I think we can do the cases on time now. Summers are always good for working on backlogs, since the number of cases that arrive are less then during normal periods. And the summer period is excellent for working, since you are not disturbed by phone calls and meetings, due to the fact that most colleagues are on vacation. Some people say that this also might happen if there is a flue pandemic, since we are not allowed to have too many meetings then. Working from home is also good for the number of publications, since this is what one easily can do from home (casework is more difficult), and this might also work on having more peer reviewed articles in the area.
In september I will have the ENFSI forensic IT working group meeting in Wiesbaden, and at the EAFS in Glasgow also give a workshop, a paper, a poster and chair a meeting there. It is always a good venue to meet other forensic scientist, and to keep up with the developments.
Today I also received a phone call of the Netherland cyclist union if I would like to work with them on the situation for cyclist in Zandvoort since I wrote the city of Zandvoort a letter concerning the bike lanes. Of course it is nice to do this, since sometimes volunteer work is also nice to do next to your regular job as a forensic scientist.

At 6:25 a.m. my thermometers read 65 and 66 degrees. I'm out the door at 6:30 a.m. I can see the stars this morning, but I can't quite make out Orion. Went straight to Cook's Cafe for my morning coffee, and Brian said the MOON was big and orange in the morning sky when he was driving into town. I can't see it from my end of town right now. Maybe I'll see it when it's setting later.
Got to the Cedar Cove Rocks at 7:00 a.m. Stars are gone, and VENUS now owns the morning sky. Just as I was wondering whether I'd see the WOOD STORK again this morning, it appeared near the mouth of the Cedar Cove outlet, feeding in the shallow water. LOW TIDE is still to come (at 7:55 a.m.), but the water is already out a ways and shallow along the Park Beach. Now the STORK is moving over toward Cedar Cove.
At 7:10 a.m., I'm at the Cedar Cove Town Houses. The WOOD STORK is still over by the outlet. I think the feeding must be good there. The horizon has begun to color up. CIVIL TWILIGHT arrives at 7:15 a.m. A fishing boat is just starting out from the outer boat launch. The birds have begun making sounds, and a BROWN PELICAN just flew by. The STORK is still over by the outlet.
Got to the Dock Street Bridge at 7:30 a.m. Saw a LITTLE BLUE HERON in the Marina, a GREAT EGRET feeding in front of the Island Place, and a KINGFISHER perched on the #3 green channel marker. I think a SWALLOW just flew by, but I'm not sure. Just saw one with swallowtails — a BARN SWALLOW. Noticed TWO SPOTTED SANDPIPERS on the Island Place beach.
On my way home at 8:20 a.m. I saw a CATBIRD near one of the docks along Third Street.

Extracts from Munro Smith's A History of the Bristol Royal Infirmary
Henry Daniel sent in his resignation on July 6th, 1836, and was cordially thanked for his twenty-six years' services; he was succeeded by John Harrison, who was elected Surgeon on July 21st of that year.
John Harrison was apprenticed to Richard Smith at the Infirmary for five years, and afterwards attended the London hospitals. At the time of his election he was in partnership with Mr. Estlin. He gave a dinner to his Election Committee at the Montague Hotel, at which thirty-six of his friends were present, who celebrated his success, according to the custom of the time, in numerous speeches.
It must have been a great ordeal for a young man, before anaesthetics were introduced, to suddenly become an operating surgeon to a large hospital, without the previous training as a resident officer, and then as assistant surgeon, which is usual nowadays.
Mr. Harrison's first operation was on a man " with a tumour under the tongue," on August 9th, 1836. He was naturally clever with his hands, and became a first-rate surgeon, advocating good food and tonics after operations, instead of low diet and depletion. He had himself to undergo two serious operations. " He once," says Mr. Board, " walked down to the Infirmary, and smoked a cigar on the operating table, while one of his confreres removed a malignant tumour from his arm." Some time after this, when the disease recurred, his former pupil, Augustin Prichard, amputated the arm below the elbow.
He was distinguished, not only for his surgical skill, but for his personal charm and artistic qualities. "Painter, musician, and even poet of no mean order, his kindly and cheerful disposition, combined with a keen sense of humour, great observation, and an excellent memory, made him a delightful companion, with an unflagging interest in everything and everybody." (For portrait see Fig. 61.)
He became senior Surgeon in 1850, resigned in December, 1859, and died on June 6th, 1892, in his ninety-first year.
He forms one of the group of Infirmary Surgeons shown in Fig. 62.
The first mention I can find of the use of chloroform at the Bristol Royal Infirmary is this :—
"Cons. Room, Aug. 31, 1850 - A consultation was held upon Samuel Edgar, a patient of Mr. Harrison, with Calculus, as to the propriety of administering Chloroform previous to the operation of lithotomy, and it was agreed upon that Chloroform should be administered."
This entry in the "Surgical Consultation Book" is signed by Nathaniel Smith, John Harrison, W. F. Morgan, Henry Clark, Thomas Green, and Augustin Prichard, that is, by the whole of the Honorary Surgical Staff.
Samuel Edgar, who was fifty years old, and a native of Bristol, did very well, and the anaesthetic seems to have been successful in every way ; but there is no further reference to chloroform until May zoth, 1851, when another patient of Mr. Harrison took it. Nearly all the major operations were still performed without an anaesthetic, for so powerful a drug was looked upon with fear.
For instance, on July 15th, 1851, a woman with a diseased breast (also Mr. Harrison's patient) was to have taken it, but " a preliminary trial of Chloroform having been made it was deemed inexpedient to administer it at the time of operation."
Miscellaneous Book " in 1852 that " Mr. Harrison presented a basket which he had received from Mr. Syme for the purpose of carrying patients from the Wards to the Operating Theatre." It was not until 1866 that a canvas " stretcher " was introduced, something like that used in the army.
Amongst the more noted of the Bristol medical resurrectionists of the early part of the nineteenth century, besides Drs. Wallis and Riley, may be mentioned Edward Richmond Estlin, John Harrison, afterwards Surgeon to the Infirmary, and Edward Waldo.
