BALTIMORE – After earning a sweep of George Washington last Saturday at the UMBC Aquatic Complex, the UMBC swimming and diving programs head south for its second road dual meet of the season. The Retrievers will travel to Norfolk, Va. to take on Old Dominion at 1:00 p.m.
Last season, the Retrievers swept the Monarchs in Baltimore as Mohamed Hussein (Cairo, Egypt/Victory College) won three events for the men and Erika Ronning (Western Springs, Ill./Lyons Township) claimed the 50 and 100 free for the women, in addition to aiding both relay teams to victory.
This season, the Retriever men and women are both off to a 2-1 dual meet start with victories over Rider and GW. The relay squads have sparked the Black and Gold, claiming both the 200 medley and 400 free races in each of the three meets.
For the men, Hussein won three individual events last week against the Colonials, bringing his season total up to a team-best eight, and was named the CCSA Swimmer of the Week. He currently ranks in the top-five in the CCSA in five events with his times in the 100 back (50.57) and 200 IM (1:52.80) leading the conference.
Senior Johan Rohtla (Tallinn, Estonia/Tallinn Secondary Science) picked up a win in the 200 back last weekend and sits second in the league with his season-best time of 1:53.26. Countrymen Lauri Kaei (Harjumaa, Estonia/Tallinn Secondary Science) won the 200 free against GW and ranks second in the conference in the event (1:41.65), while he leads the conference in the 100 fly (51.40).
On the diving boards, senior Tim Perkins (Frederick, Md./Tuscarora) put up career-best scores while sweeping the events last week and qualified for the NCAA Zones meet for the first time in his career. Perkins won 1-meter event with a score of 281.02 and then reached the qualifying standard with his score of 323.62 in the 3-meter competition.
The UMBC women's squad has used a mix of youth and experience in the early stages of the season with freshman Emily Escobedo (New Rochelle, N.Y./Maria Regina) leading the team with six event wins so far. Escobedo has won two events in each of the Retrievers' three meets and ranks second in the America East in both the 100 (1:06.84) and 200 breaststroke (2:19.92) events.
Seniors Talor Tadena (Orangevale, Calif./Bella Vista) and Klara Pavelkova (Prague, Czech Republic/Gymnasium Pripotocni) have combined for seven wins this season while Tadena leads the America East Conference in the 100 free with her time of 52.05 from the Navy meet.
Sophomore Corinna Darelius (Rye, N.Y./Rye) leads the Retrievers on the boards and earned a sweep of the two events last weekend. She also earned a win in the 3-meter event against Navy with a season-best score of 243.75, the second-best score in the America East.

Lineups and a jolt or two of caffeine
First things first. If there are any typos in this blog, blame the dang caffeine.
My typical two cups of Joe just passed three and made the turn toward four. Stuff happens when you're covering a day game after a night game. And even more stuff happens when you're covering a day game after a 4 hour, 27-minute night game.
Which reminds me. Memo to the Padres and Rockies: Joe West says, if there are any more 4-hour juegos, he's going to call you a disgrace to the game.
But enough already about umpires who think they're bigger than the game. Let's get on to the lineups for today's matinee at the Ballyard Formerly Known as Coors Canaveral:
1. Everth Cabrera, SS
2. Jerry Hairston, Jr., 2B
3. Adrian Gonzalez, 1B
4. Chase Headley, 3B
5. Will Venable, RF
6. Scott Hairston, LF
7. Yorvit Torrealba, C
8. Tony Gwynn, Jr., CF
9. Jon Garland, P
1. Carlos Gonzalez, CF
2. Seth Smith, LF
3. Jason Giambi, 1B
4. Troy Tulowitzki, SS
5. Brad Hawpe, RF
6. Miguel Olivo, C
7. Ian Stewart, 3B
8. Melvin Mora, 2B
9. Ubaldo Jimenez, P
Footnote: Todd Helton was scheduled, as of Saturday early evening, to be in today's lineup. But that was before early evening became late night at Coors Field. Helton is 36. I only mention because I'm 52.
Do you see me taking the day off? No. Do you see me hanging out in the clubhouse signing autographs? No. I'm typing a blog for our loyal Internet readers. And drinking coffee. Lots and lots of coffee.
One last thing. Yes, we have dutifully taken note that Yorvit Torrealba is in the Padres' lineup. Caught up with him in the San Diego clubhouse a few minutes ago. More to come on that front in the next half hour …

The easy-rolling casters make it easy to move in, out, or around your home. The removable pan and grill make this a very easy cage to clean and gives lots of room for small animals and rabbits.

Introducing A Game As Old As Empire

[A version of this letter introducing John Perkins' new book "A Game As Old As Empire" was emailed to grass-roots volunteer friends and activists on Sunday Feb. 4, 2007]

To: my social activist friends
Subject: Introducing A Game As Old As Empire
Attached is a preview of an about to be published book that its publisher just sent me with the above title.
I am sharing it with you because all of us are concerned about globalization to some degree in its many manifestations, and many of us don't actually understand what devious shapes and forms it often takes. We often view it only as black and white. The protagonists extol its virtues and the antagonists rail against its evils, neither really possessing any depth of understanding of why they take these positions. It's obvious to the antagonists that it causes poverty. It's also usually self-evident to many well meaning protagonists of its inevitability, and that is often cited as justification for acceptance, closing the doors to exploring other solutions spaces that might be more equitable. However, usually hard data and analysis is often missing on both sides among the ordinary peoples to whom this impacts the most. And we are indeed these ordinary peoples!
When participating at WSF 2006 in Karachi in a forum, I had made this seemingly strange statement:
- "Neoliberalism and Neoconservatism are two sides of the same imperial coin".
In one other forum on water privatization, I had noted something equally bizarre to the effect (in Urdu):
- "deception is a key component in this game and you have to assume this as your working premise when you investigate or evaluate any proposal that is put your way on why or how water privatization will be beneficial to you - they wage war by way of deception".
It was simply remarkable how many people had thronged around me afterwards to learn more and ask for elaboration. That's when I realized that the real intellectual underpinnings behind the impetus towards globalization and the neoliberal agenda were not being addressed to their full unraveling and disambiguation anywhere. All of a sudden I seem to be the only one talking about it in these terms, often needing to even challenge the perceptions of many of the learned panelists themselves whom I felt were speaking at the most superficial levels - the outer most visible layer of the onion. In one other forum on "fundamentalisms", I found one person (a physicist) on the panel describing the term "fundamentalists" as if the mighty oracle, the illustrious progenitor of the war-mongering idea of "clash of civilizations", Mr. Bernard Lewis himself was speaking through him to justify the other side of the imperial coin! Almost everyone has heard this term "clash of civilizations" and Samuel Huntington's 1996 book of the same name. How many actually know that it was seeded into the public consciousness in 1991-92 by Bernard Lewis for an article in Foreign Affairs magazine? And what was happening in 1991 in the global space to synthesize such bombastic messages? No amount of field work or participating in grass-roots socialization events like WSF can unravel these mysteries.
People in general are ill equipped with the intellectual tools to either comprehend this problem of globalization in its multifaceted dimensions, or [to] take on addressing its root causes. Grass-roots the world over has become synonymous with action in the streets, or working in the field doing good works and deeds. Few read, even fewer dig even when they might read. Even students at elite schools like my own, MIT, study poverty under a microscope in their laboratories (there is a poverty alleviation lab at MIT - do google it), and come up with the most interesting red herrings to pursue, such as reduce the birth rate for instance to solve poverty problem, or the newest fad in microcredit schemes. Both eminently reasonable propositions on the surface for many progressive minds to alleviate poverty. But as I had come to appreciate in computer science and as a practicing engineer in Silicon Valley, the highest order bits entirely determine where the page faults! And here, what is incredible to me is that they entirely end up ignoring the giant elephants trumpeting on the newlywed's bed - debt cancellation of the third world; inequities of global trade treaties like WTO; economic conscription that generates a new class of labor camps in the wonderful duty-free zones where the employer reigns supreme and few labor laws that apply in the developed nations apply there; or that "free trade" has been the mantra of all dominant civilizations and mainly only favors them. None of these are studied as the primal first cause of global poverty, or how poverty is harvested for the benefit of multinationals when they offshore, or the fact that the third world is deliberately being raped by supporting dictatorships and kingdoms that can be more easily controlled than any fractious genuine parliamentarians ever could.
These same geniuses with fancy PhD. degrees in economics will then head various World Bank and its sister organizations and often not have a clue. And when they do get a clue, they are so complicit that extricating themselves can become quite impossible. This is how empires are built in neoliberalism. We have already witnessed how empire is extended using neoconservatism. The distinguished New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman said it the best in his now famous "Manifesto for a Fast World":
"The hidden hand of the market will never work without a hidden fist - MacDonald's cannot flourish without McDonnell Douglas, the builder of the F-15. And the hidden fist that keeps the world safe for Silicon Valley's technologies is called the United States Army, Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps."
And a major aspect of this "hidden hand" is what John Perkins disclosed and confessed to in his first book in 2005, the "Confessions of an economic hitman" - the notorious EHM. See page 101 (of the hardcover first edition, page numbering may be different in paperback) to be shocked beyond belief how an MIT statistician is employed to create a pseudo science to prove to the tin-pot dictators around the world why it would be beneficial to their nations' growth to take on more debt by falsely projecting enormous growth rates which can be used to pay back the debts easily!
Such growth projections of course never materialize - because they were conjured up out of thin air, and thence the tag team of WB-IMF get into their now infamous act of further structural-adjustment lending just to enable paying off the rapidly accumulating interest on the monstrous loans that now shackle every third world nation beyond belief. Can we relate this to our own nations taking on debts like a leaking ship?
Without a profound appreciation for the deep intellectual capital that lies behind the manifest reality of misery that surrounds us in the poor under-developed nations - that despite our tons of natural resources we are continually unable to harness for the betterment of our own peoples - we often cannot properly unravel the right cause and effect relationships due to the high degrees of separation from the first causes. The layers upon layers of obfuscation and deception that are usually woven around the issues often require almost doing a PhD to figure out. Unraveling this onion, layer by layer, requires far more intellectual capital than has been appreciated by the activists and other well intentioned peoples who worry about these things. Consequently, many well intentioned and hardworking friends end up spinning on the treadmill. This is why the World Social Forum (WSF), as a global grass-roots forum that was intended to be a counter weight to the ruling elites' World Economic Forum, has become a misplacement of well intentioned peoples energies. The first causes of the problems and their real solution spaces require addressing these issues at the right levels of abstraction to achieve any degree of efficacy that is greater than zero!
Reading and comprehending exposes like John Perkins' book and becoming an intellectual detective, helps orientate us to the real source of the problems, and thus also can enable focusing on the right problems to address in our respective activism rather than the many red-herrings we often end up addressing.
I hope you enjoy this attached 48 page preview of "A Game as old as Empire". Enjoy it to the point of anger. This new book is a sequel to John Perkins' "Confessions of an Economic Hitman". Other courageous authors have now come forward in the new book to explain how the "game" is even more pervasive today as entire nations are being stolen and plundered by the new imperial masters - "the corporations and their benefactors" - in a world that will soon be entirely ruled by them. The new imperial coin!
If all this is unfamiliar to you, you might also wish to read David Korten and John Pilger to get another perspective on this subject. And also do lookup the former chief economist of the World Bank, who seems to have finally also found his voice after he left that august institution and wrote his own book "Globalization and Its Discontents". And of course, we are all well acquainted with the accomplishments of the present day leadership of the World Bank, but I am sure no one has read any of the reports he wrote while at the State Department, or as the premier member of PNAC, right? But that's the story of the other side of the same imperial coin... for another day.

Best regards,
[ Redux: A note on confessions and legal covers. The real question that apparently escapes all John Perkins admirers (like this one) is: After the Economic Hitmen retire from their cushy jobs of raping nations and peoples under "legal cover", they write confessionals as victims of conscience; should the Jews have let Adolph Eichmann go had he too written a confessional, as an extreme example to illustrate the point? He also had 'legally' conspired the Holocaust! Why should the victims of the EHM espouse a different tolerance? Why should the uber-moralists in the EHM's society espouse a different tolerance?
From 'legal' wars to 'legal' rape into economic conscription and bondage – is one continuous achievement of any super-morality throughout the pages of history who 'legally' commit monumental crimes and kill/subjugate a million under "the sound of trumpets" as "primacy and its geostrategic imperatives"! But only of course, until victor's justice is made to prevail! Then, all confessionals and that inner 'voice of conscience' only cement one's ascent to the gallows! Should the conscionable John Perkins be donating the monetary proceeds of his Confessions to the nations and peoples he helped rape and plunder, in restitution, just as he is now presumably helping them with forensic information on how he covertly did it to them? Selling books on one's [own] con-game in the name of helping future victims only imputes impure motives to the enterprise: First be highly paid for orchestrating the rape, then get paid again writing about it, while also winning praise and fame in the process!
Furthermore, it is interesting to observe another blatant dichotomy in crime and punishment. Adolph Eichmann was the harbinger of cataclysm to some six million Jews for a short span of 3 to 5 years with just the stroke of a pen or the drop of a word, and he was hanged in Jerusalem. Whereas the EHMs are the harbingers – with the same stroke of pen and some button pushing on calculators and fancy spreadsheets – of the continued entrapment of entire nations in inextricable systems of poverty and misery for generations that is no less cataclysmic for these victims. And yet, the EHM walk free among us in suits and ties, sometimes even heading prestigious economic institutions, and of course, nations. As the prime-mover DNA – the 'legal covers' – should we do something about this root cause that enables the multi-color-collared crimes against humanity by the emperors?
Where else are we seeing such "legal covers"? Would it be pertinent to point to "shock and awe", "Economic Sanctions", and the "UN Security Council Resolutions", to subjugate entire nations? To know right from wrong is indeed not too complex – the Bible has already taught it to us through the Golden Rule "Do unto others as you have others do unto you" – there are few shades of gray for the commonsensical un-hypocrite! Thus I have little sympathy for the cat who goes for Hajj after eating 900 mice!
Crimes are not absolved or made less abhorrent by confessionals. Nor its victims restituted by the voice of one's conscience! Payment still needs to be made in full.
Thank you. ]

I have really been looking forward to posting these portraits and videos. I had so much fun working on this assignment with Vince, and as an added bonus, the story is one of those rare page turners that doesn't come around all that often in a magazine. For me, it's right up there with the Wired article on Dan Kaminsky which I worked on last year. Here is the intro for Vince's story, which is in the July 2009 issue of Seattle Metropolitan. The link to the entire article is further down.
"Billed as the Second Coming of Johnny Cash, a teenager from Federal Way wowed rock stars, morning news shows, Ellen DeGeneres, and the Cash estate. There's just one problem: Vince Mira is done parroting the Man in Black.
There was a moment in September 2007 at the Cash Cabin, the studio built by the late Johnny Cash outside Nashville, when everyone froze. In the room were musicians intimately tied to Cash and his music—his son John Carter Cash, his bass player Dave Roe, and Jamie Hartford, who played guitar in the Cash biopic Walk the Line. Vince Mira, the Federal Way teen flown in for the recording session, had just crooned the last line of his "Cold Hearted Woman," a twangy harangue against a cruelly apathetic succubus ("…as far as you are isn't far enough for me"), leaving his audience speechless.
Finally, Hartford, who'd been scribbling music dictation in a notebook, dropped his pen and paper and turned to the producer. "John. Carter. Cash. Does that freak you out?" John looked up, "Yeah, that freaks me out."
John Carter had just heard a familiar voice pour from the mouth of the teenager. The producer had agreed to record an album with the talented teen—already making a name for himself with Cash covers—on the condition that "We don't just record a bunch of my dad's old songs." Now, here was Mira performing an original, but his voice, a haunted baritone, was spot-on Johnny Cash."
– James Ross Gardner. Read the entire article (here).
Before this assignment, I had heard stories over the past couple of years about Vince Mira, the young teenager who was discovered playing Johnny Cash songs on the street. I had seen the YouTube videos from Ellen (here) Good Morning America and a few others, but I didn't become a fan until I heard him perform live. Wow. This guy is talented. He is the real deal. There are a lot of people out there with a gimick, or who sound like someone famous. But Vince has huge talent, and he can stand on his own. His similarities to Johnny Cash provided him with a great start, but it's exciting to see him head out on his own now and show people what he's got.
The first video above is Vince Mira performing an original song, "I'm a Goin Back Home". The second video is a Johnny Cash song, "Folsom Prison Blues". Both were performed at the gum wall in Post Alley, Seattle. I asked Vince to play one of his songs so I could film it, and it didn't take long at all for a crowd to gather. After he finished the first song, someone yelled out, "Play 'Folsom Prison Blues'!". Even though he is trying to get away from that, he didn't seem to mind.
Vince has an album out now, called "The Cash Cabin Sessions". It was recorded at the Cash Cabin Studio by John Carter Cash, Johnny Cash's son. It's a great album. You can also catch Vince every Tuesday night at the Can Can in the Pike Place Market in Seattle. For now at least. I don't know how much longer he will be playing there, as he has already toured with Pearl Jam, and played on some pretty big stages.

The First Years C680 True Fit Pop of Teal Car Seat Y60026
The SI stands for Side Impact, and the new contoured head rest is designed for better head control. The contoured design helps contain your child's head in the event of a crash. This seat features a no rethread, easy to adjust harness. The harness is for use from 5 to 35 pounds rear facing and up to 65 pounds in forward facing installations. Keeping your child rear facing longer is easy, the SI can be used rear facing up to 35 pounds. The rethread is hassle free, the harness adjusts simply by moving the side adjusters and they are clearly labeled to help with the correct positioning.
The C680 model features smaller bottom rails and the patented Rebound Energy Management system, a flip up rebound bar that actually helps manage the rebound in the unlikely event of a crash. Pull the bar forward and it snaps in place with your rear facing installation, and flip it back when you move to the forward facing installation.
This seat is fully lined with EPP foam and has deep side wings that really surround your child. The larger interior dimensions keep your child comfortable as they grow. A center angle indicator in the front of the seat is for use when installing in the rear facing position. This easy to read indicator will help you determine if you have installed your seat correctly. For your infant, it will assist in achieving the advocate recommended 45 degree angle for installation (without head rest) and as you keep it rear facing to 35 pounds (with the head rest) you can check for the recommended 35 degree installation angle. The LATCH attachments are mounted on the sides for easy access when you are installing your seat, and are easy to secure when you remove the seat from your vehicle. Installation is stress free with the color coded lock offs, whether you are installing for the first time rear facing or forward facing.

A Summer to Die
It was hard for Meg not to be envious of Molly. Blond, pretty and popular, Molly was the one who always knew what to say, who was giggly and fun, full of smiles and silly enthusiasms. It was Molly who had long eyelashes, while thirteen-year-old Meg had glasses. Molly who developed a figure and boyfriends the same year that Meg got Molly's outgrown winter coat. Molly who was sure about the future, had sorted out her own goals, while Meg, determined and unsure at the same time, was sometimes angry over nothing, often miserable about everything.
Things grew even worse when they had to share a room. That's when Molly drew the chalk line. Right down the rug and up the wall, across the wallpaper with its blue flowers. Separating them.
Then Molly got sick. At first it was just a nuisance. Grouchy, constantly worrying about her looks, never without a box of kleenex because of those dumb nosebleeds. Everyone waited on her hand and foot when she was home and was totally preoccupied with test results when she was in the hospital. Meg didn't know what to make of the changes taking place in Molly and their parents. Until the day she realized that Molly was never going to come home from the hospital. That Molly was going to die.
Lois Lowry has written a poignant and perceptive first novel exploring the complex emotions a young girl faces in dealing with the death of a sister just at the very time when she had begun to ease her sense of jealousy and impatience into love.
"Not simply another story on a subject currently in vogue, this book is memorable as a well-crafted reaffirmation of universal values." -- Horn Book ALA Notable Book, Horn Book Fanfare Selection, IRA/CBC Children's Choice

by John McClaughry ((November, 2013)
"A new book by Michael Shuman explains how federal and state governments prevent us from investing in sound local enterprises, and what people all over the country are doing about it."
Local Dollars, Local Sense: How to Shift Your Money from Wall Street to Main Street and Achieve Real Prosperity, by Michael Shuman, Chelsea Green Publishing, 288 p.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average has topped 16,000. Wall Street investors, who were hammered when the mortgage debt implosion drove the DJIA down to 7,608 just four and a half years ago, are exultant. So is almost everyone who owns exchange-traded investments, 401ks, IRAs, and pension funds.
But quite a few investors are concerned that too much of their financial security (or insecurity) rests on an exchange in a distant financial center, dealing in global corporate securities, and inhabited by people for whom stock exchanges are gambling casinos. These ordinary small scale investors would prefer to invest at least some of their nest eggs in local enterprises run by real local people, in the local economy where they live.
Their opportunities for doing this are severely limited by governments, state and federal. In fact, the federal government that borrowed $787 billion in 2008 to bail out big banks and insurance companies – whether they wanted to be bailed out or not! – has a longstanding policy of stopping you from investing in local enterprises that strengthen your local economy.
How governments do this is brilliantly explained in a new book by Michael Shuman, published in Vermont by Chelsea Green. It's titled Local Dollars, Local Sense: How to shift your money from Wall Street to Main Street and achieve real prosperity"
It's significant that Michael Shuman is not a Cato Institute libertarian, but a man of the Left. He's a lawyer and long-time fellow of the leftist Institute for Policy Studies in Washington. But unlike the common Bernie Sanders socialist, whose answer to every outrage is a full bore government takeover plus coercive redistribution of wealth, Shuman is sharp enough to see that government has become an enormous obstacle to people wanting to make investments to improve their local communities and economies.
Let Shuman speak for himself: "What stands in the way of [a huge shift of capital from Wall Street to Main Street] is obsolete institutions and laws that make local investment extremely difficult and expensive. Securities laws from the Great Depression effectively enacted a system of investment apartheid, with 'accredited investors' being able to invest in any business they wish and 'unaccredited investors' being essentially told to get lost."
"Before a business can make an investment 'offering' to even a single unaccredited investor, it must pay an attorney to produce a private placement memorandum and various regulatory filings and documents; legal, accounting and government fees could easily run $25,000 to $50,000. If a company wants many unaccredited investors, it must create a public offering that could cost another $50,000 or more, and it must make ongoing, exhaustive filings to the SEC."
"Besides ensuring full employment for attorneys, securities law can claim one stunning achievement. It has managed to keep small investors away from small businesses. Again, more than 98 percent of the American public cannot invest in more than half of the economy."
Local Dollars, Local Sense explains clearly, for lay people, how this roadblock can be circumvented. Shuman offers a lengthy menu of imaginative efforts to revive Main Street economies, including cooperatives, credit unions, community development corporations, BIDCOs, microlending, SHARE programs, employee stock ownership plans (ESOPs), community development financial institutions, local mutual funds, local investment exchanges, direct public offers, and internet-based investment accumulation (like Kickstarter). Foreign examples include Fjallbete (Sweden) and Mondragon (Spain).
He also describes several Vermont-based economy-building enterprises, such as the Vermont Sustainable Jobs Fund Flexible Capital Fund, the Burlington Community and Economic Development Office, and the Vermont Community Loan Fund.
One small caveat: There is an important difference between sweeping away foolish government barriers to allow a free people to solve their own problems, and finding a way to capture capital from taxpayers to redirect into government-favored enterprises. Shuman appears to favor both, including the idea of a state bank (as in North Dakota).
Vermont can show some benefits from economic development programs based on funding extracted from taxpayers, or in the case of Federal programs, largely financed by selling Treasury debt. But the really important policy goal ought to be knocking down the archaic government barriers that stifle the creative energies of a free people, who are willing to invest in viable enterprises in their own communities for mutual benefit if only their governments would let them.

I don't want to use my trackpad too much due to a strain injury, hence I use the Control F2 "Move Focus to Menu Bar" a lot.
However this feature only works occasionally, it can work for hours and then suddenly stop working, sometimes I can fix in the Keyboard Shortcuts pref pane by unchecking and checking the "Move Focus to Menu Bar" checkbox, at other times it takes a restart of the system.
I'm a big Apple fan-boy, and I always marvel at the cool features in OSX, this is the first time I have a Windows-esque experience with the OSX UI :(

Why become a CTR? Why use a CTR?
The Certified Technical Representative (CTR) designation was developed to provide professional recognition to individuals who market and distribute products and materials to the construction industry.Survival in today's business environment requires value added features be brought to customers at every stage of our interaction with them. Product knowledge and presentation skills are more important than ever. When these skills are combined with a knowledge of the construction process and its participants, they clearly provide the technical representative with an edge. The CTR designation attests to independent and objective adherence to the highest quality of product representation.The respect and recognition associated with the CTR designation will give individuals a competitive edge and increase their credibility in the design and construction field. It will also enable technical representatives to effectively communicate with design professionals and be seen as valuable technical resources i.e.- the people called upon for technical advice.As a CTR your clients will know that you:
The CTR designation recognizes the experience, integrity and competence of product representatives, and symbolizes a commitment to excellence with demonstrated ability in product representation.An applicant for certification as a CTR must be a member of CSC. To achieve the CTR status a participant must successfully complete both the Principles of Construction Documentation, and Technical Representative course; successfully conduct a technical sales presentation to a review board on a product appropriate to the applicant's field, and accumulate at least 2 years of related experience in construction related industries.
CTR Codes of Conduct and Practice1 Certified Technical Representatives (CTR) by their acceptance of Certification shall agree to the following Code of Conduct and Practices:2 Code of Conduct related to Project Work: .1 The CTR performs quality work in accordance with accepted recommended standards, skill and good judgement; .2 represents products or services in a fair, timely and consistent manner. Will not knowingly misrepresent a product or service; .3 represents products, services and information on the basis of merit in a clear, concise and complete manner without consideration for personal gain. Will not knowingly misrepresent a product or service; .4 The CTR: .1 maintains consideration for safety and welfare of the public; .2 maintains privacy of clients' interests or business affairs and .3 complies with Codes, Statutes, Regulations, and rules applicable to work undertaken.3 Code of Conduct related to the Certified Technical Representative: .1 The CTR engages in activities to advance effectiveness of construction technical documents, product literature, and specification preparation including use of uniform practices and standard documents recommended by CSC; .2 The CTR shall not present the CTR designation as an endorsement of products or services but as a certification that the CTR has achieved prescribed level of knowledge and understanding of the design and construction process through successful completion of a course of studies; .3 The CTR; .1 supports the aims of the CSC; .2 freely exchanges non-confidential information and experience with other members of the Association; .3 avoids conduct which would reasonably be regarded as disgraceful, dishonourable, or unprofessional; .4 acts toward other CTR members with respect, good will, and fairness; .5 does not maliciously injure the reputation or business of another member.

Technology Transfer to Small Manufacturers: A Literature Review
Small Business
United States Small Business Administration
Office of Advocacy
Technology Transfer to Small Manufacturers: A Literature Review
1995. 284p. Mt. Auburn Associates, Inc., and Regional Technology Strategies, Inc., Somerville, Massachusetts, under contract no. SBA-7640-OA-92
Ever accelerating technological change has intensified interest in the transfer of technology. Small firms play an important role in converting state-of-the-art technology from federal labs and universities; other small firms need to acquire state-of-the-market technology that is commercially available.
Technology transfer is the translation across organizations of knowledge that can be embodied in a process or a product. The knowledge may be explicit; frequently it is tacit--often called "know-how." Technology transfer includes any knowledge useful in the creation of new products and processes, and also the value of the technology, and principles of operation, management, and utilization.
The aim of this study is to review the literature to ascertain best principles and practices in technology transfer to small manufacturing firms.
Scope and Methodology
This research limits the subject of technology transfer to small manufacturing firms. The study pulls together into a comprehensive framework what has been reported in the literature about the effectiveness of various technology transfer strategies, methods, techniques, and mechanisms. More than 500 books, articles, and papers were reviewed for this study.
A "supply-side" technology transfer mechanism is established and managed by the generator of the technology, and may be more appropriate for the development of new technology. The analysis examines supply-side mechanisms for tech transfer found within federal laboratories, universities, and the private sector.
A "demand-side" mechanism is established and managed by, or on behalf of, the recipients of the technology, and may be more appropriate for diffusion of existing technology. The analysis examines demand-side mechanisms found within two groups, those promoting technology development and those promoting technology diffusion.
- Although small high-tech firms deal far more frequently in explicit knowledge, small firms in general depend more on informal learning. The smaller the firm, the more likely that linkages with customers, suppliers, competitors, and experts will influence technology adoption.
- Joint ventures, research and development (R&D) collaborations, and technology-exchange agreements are examples of private-sector-based alliances for promoting technology development. Small firm involvement is most likely in technology-exchange agreements. In such agreements the technology is often transferred from a small firm to a larger firm, in exchange for other technology and nontechnology resources. Licensing is increasingly being used by small firms to obtain new technology.
- The level of technology transfer between federal laboratories and small firms is relatively low because of insufficient marketing to small firms, lack of small firm resources to seek out opportunities, and lab emphasis on tech transfer tools more appropriate to large firms. Cooperative research and development agreements are not as appropriate for small firms because of the sizable investment that is required. Licensing is often targeted by labs to large firms, who are seen as more likely to pay royalties to the lab.
- The firms that seem to be most likely to take advantage of services offered by university technology licensing offices (TLOs) are either well-established firms with some independent development capabilities, or startups or small companies that can attract venture capital to fund development. Principles of successful TLOs include hiring staff with a strong business and marketing orientation, giving them negotiating authority and "cradle-to-grave" responsibility for the intellectual property they manage, and setting commercialization milestones for licensees that must be met if the license is not to revert to the university.
- Because small firms have a limited ability to absorb mistakes in underestimating the costs of switching technology, the availability of good information is especially critical:
- There are limits on the extent to which small firms can rely on equipment vendors as a source of information. Vendors devote more attention to larger customers and the information provided may be more relevant to the vending firm than to the firm buying the equipment.
- Large numbers of manufacturers have established supplier development programs, typically involving 20 percent of a firm's suppliers. The better programs have long-term commitment from the buyer and emphasize training programs and counseling for suppliers. Most programs serve direct or first-level suppliers only, and do not involve second- or third-tier suppliers. Direct suppliers often are quite large themselves.
- Advanced technology centers house advanced manufacturing process technology for demonstration and small product runs. Here small firms become more knowledgeable about the technology and can judge the advantages in acquiring such technology for themselves. These centers are more effective when integrated into a network of technology transfer services.
- Proximity is perhaps the most potent means of enabling the informal linkages that are so valuable. There are a number of geographic concentrations of firms in closely related industries with dense webs of relationships, typically including a substantial number of small firms with a wide variety of specializations. The firms are linked through the trading of goods and services, joint venturing around specific market opportunities, informal sharing of technology and ideas, interfirm flow of skilled labor, and the ready availability to expand if needed. The competitiveness of each firm is significantly enhanced.
- Trade and professional associations are among the oldest and most effective formal mechanisms for technology transfer. Meetings, conferences, and shows include opportunities for both formal learning and the informal building of relationships.
There is a wide variety of types of technology transfer--involving different purposes, different tech transfer institutions, and different tools. Different types of tech transfer are appropriate for different situations.
Much technology transfer concerns tacit knowledge, often called "know-how". Such knowledge is difficult to articulate and is best transferred via people, not paper. Formal and informal approaches can be mutually reinforcing. Small firms in general depend more on informal learning. The smaller the firm, the more likely that linkages with customers, suppliers, competitors, and experts will influence technology adoption. Programs that promote the integration of small firms into a broad and strong set of open-ended and informal relationships can be a low-cost, flexible, and dynamic means of expanding capacity and creativity and making the market more efficient.
The report makes clear that federal R&D laboratories, as well as university licensing and technology transfer offices, could do a better job of transferring technology to small firms. In many cases, increased marketing efforts--possibly through joint ventures--may be necessary.

Take a stroll through war-torn Shanghai with a friend this Thursday, when EA Montreal releases a cooperative demo for Army of Two: The 40th Day for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
The Army of Two: The 40th Day demo will let players experience the majority of the first level of the game, after the bombs seen in the opening trailer radically change Shanghai's skyline.
"THE 40TH DAY is non-stop action in an explosive Shanghai. The game has been designed with a focus on co-op gameplay and it has been our goal to refine this core experience in all aspects of the game," said executive producer Reid Schneider. "The demo will give players the opportunity to experience this evolution and the new co-op moves and tactics available to players at any time in the game."
A demo for the PSP version of the game will be released on January 7th in North America (Europe on the 14th), just in time for the game's January 13th release date. Check out the trailer below to see what's in store for our pals Salem and Rios.

Santral Istanbul, located at the beginning of the Golden Horn, is a recent addition to Istanbul's cultural scene. It consists of a modern art museum, an energy museum, an amphitheatre, concert halls and a public library, all situated within Bilgi University's Silahtarağa campus. Jose Manuel Barroso called it " a superb example of post-industrial urban renewal." Santral Istanbul's preliminary opening was held in July 2007 in the presence of Prime Minister Erdoğan. The official opening took place in September 2007.
Silahtarağa Power Station supplied Istanbul with electric power from 1914 to 1983. The thermal power plant, built by a Budapest-based Austro-Hungarian Company, was the first of its kind in the Ottoman Empire. It started to supply power to the tram network and to the sultan's palace in February 1914, just before the outbreak of World War I. In March 1983 it was shut down.
The plan to convert the old power station into a university campus was the brainchild of the founder of Istanbul Bilgi University, a businessman. Bilgi, a private university, was founded in 1996. The school is renowned for its liberal atmosphere and critical professors. It was host to the first conference on the Armenian issue in 2005, as well as a Kurdish conference in 2006. It was also the first Turkish university to have a gay students' association. There are currently around 10,000 students studying at Bilgi's three campuses, including Santral.

Joe: You should design a t-shirt for your Met fan base to purchase! I know it would be a sellout!ReplyDelete
hold on... so you're the one who created these iconic jerseys, that's frickin' awesome!!!ReplyDelete
Now please, can you design the black OUT? :DReplyDelete
Yes, Paul Lukas is my master now. ;)
Favorite uniform in the history of any sport. I can't believe you designed the uni! I hope to get a Brooks or Straw jersey at some point in my life.ReplyDelete
It's a pretty sweet uni, the drawing is awesome too. The fact that you designed it is amazing! I wish they did a retro day with these unis.ReplyDelete
Hey I'm new here but I love this. Why don't you either sell some of these drawings as prints or sell the whole book for one of the seasons? Great stuff, its rare someone does clever and smart art about sports.ReplyDelete
Hi Tony thanks,ReplyDelete
Iam talking to publishers right now about putting out this journal as is in book form. All the pictures are in a small 3x5" journal.
I know everyone wants something from the book. I have to figure out whats the best way to go. I'll let you all know when I know.
Enjoy it.
One of these years they will win a World Series and your journal will make one billion dollars... I hope this one:-)ReplyDelete
Joe - a little flip-thru book u can just pick up & re-live the season would be great! all the ups & downs, it really puts things in perspective!..& I luv these even more knowing they're so small..& with all that detail!ReplyDelete
My favorite Met uniform. Incredible.ReplyDelete
Wow, that's awesome.ReplyDelete
my favorite met uniform.
I love this artwork! New to the site, but enjoying it a great deal. Maybe for the next rain out or off day we can see some concept art for future Mets uniforms? Maybe with enough fan support we might even see it at Citi in 2011.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJune 29, 2010 at 9:36 PM
That's amazing! I will admit at first I didn't like the uniforms, but they have grown on me over the years and they now represent the best of times in Mets' history. I now own a Gooden jersey in your design.ReplyDelete
Can you send the Mets a sketch of the original (1960's) Mets uniform - with NO BLACK - so they go back to the real Mets colors - BLUE and ORANGE (no black!) - I would love if the Mets went back to the 60's uniforms and as an alternate wore your 80's design.

I've been going through the answers and questions in the Review area much more frequently and am finding it frustrating that there is no filtering, only a return of random answers and questions.
It would be nicer if the review area remembered the questions and answers that I've seen and didn't show me those again. It would eliminate a lot of noise since the majority of the results are legitimate and don't need to be reviewed again.
Can filtering be implemented in the review area so that only answers and questions that I haven't reviewed before are seen?
Edit: plus it would facilitate my OCD in getting the number of posts to review down to 0 :D

Orville R. Keister THE UNIVERSITY OF AKRON
Quite often the accounting historian can locate bits of accounting lore in unexpected places. A case in point is the Code of Hammu-rabi.
Every school child learns of this Code, but the usual historical emphasis is placed on the importance the Code had in learning how to decipher the hundreds of thousands of Mesopotamian clay tablets that contain the literary brilliance of the early Sumerian, Babylonian, and Assyrian Empires. Historians stress the Code's importance as the earliest known code of law.1
Members of The Academy of Accounting Historians know well the literary and legal importance of the Code, but they can appreci-ate, too, the contributions the Code made in the development of commercial record-keeping, the seeds from which our profession grew.
To review a bit, Hammurabi was the sixth king of the first Babylonian dynasty, who ruled with considerable ability and success for an approximate reign of forty-three years, somewhere around 2200 B.C., according to many authorities.2 His Code of Laws outlined a system of law and custom which had developed from remotest antiquity to Hammurabi's time. A French expedition under M. de Morgan in 1901 discovered on the acropolis of Susa the large block of black diorite upon which the Code was inscribed. On the top front of the stele is a bas-relief of Hammurabi receiving the Code from the Sun-god. Five columns (about one-eighth of the Code) have been destroyed; the remaining 44 columns contain 248 sep-arate provisions relating to the civil and criminal law of the time. Some of the sections of the Code expressly mention commercial records and thus make a place for themselves in the history of ac-counting. For example:3
Section 7: If a man purchase silver or gold, man-servant or maid-servant, ox, sheep, or ass, or anything else from a man's son, or from a man's servant without witnesses or contracts, or if he receive [the same] in trust, that man shall be put to death as a thief.4

In this thread I want to share with you how to make cloth capes, and to encourage fellow .Org members to share photos of their capes, along with new designs they've come up with. Below are the patterns you'll need to make the capes I've come up with so far. Also included are tutorials and tips that I hope people can help expand on with more advanced techniques and advice. I used to make and sell capes like these in my spare time, but with a lot less of that to go around I decided it would be best to have fun with it and see what other people come up with, including fancier capes, full robes, and any other garments you can think up! I'll start out with two simple cape patterns, with some photos for inspiration. If there's demand for it, I can include instructional photos and perhaps even a video or two.
Disclaimer: I do not make a profit from these capes.

Tutorial - How to make a simple cloth cape
You will need:
Felt cloth squares (super cheap) or any other fabric material you'd like to use.
Fabric scissors – For a cleaner cut, make certain these are fabric scissors and not just standard scissors with packaging that states it can cut cloth.
Thread and sewing needle
Stapler – With staples in it.
Beading/round cord elastic – "Beading" is a bit skinnier than "Round" cord. Found at any craft store.
Printer and printing paper – Any will do.
1. Thread the needle you will be using.
2. Download and then open the pattern (.PDF file) of your choice. You will need Adobe Reader, or any other software designed to view these files, such as Photoshop.
3. Print the image, making sure your printer settings are not stretching the image or otherwise altering the size or proportions of it.
4. Place the printed pattern over your fabric. Staple just outside the edges of the pattern, all the way around.
5. Cut out the cape shape.
6. Get out your cord elastic and cut a piece off. Then wrap it around your figurine as depicted in the photo below, so that it wraps behind their back and neck. Tie the two ends together, with two or three tight knots. Trim off the excess.
7. Remove the cord from the figure, pinch it down flat (so it's shaped like closed lips) and lay it along the top of the cape. Fold the top of the cape over the elastic loop.
8. Now get out your threaded needle. Starting with one side of the cloth, just under the elastic rope, loop the needle through the cloth, in and back around and through again (away from the cloth, not over the top of the cape), so that the thread begins to seal the elastic in.
9. Sew a line of thread to the other side of the cape, not over the top of the cape, but in and out to make a straight line going across the cape to the other side. The knotted elastic in the center may be challenging to work the thread across.
10. Once on the other side of the cape, repeat step #8 to finish sealing in the elastic band.
11. Cut off the ends of the thread on each side. The cape is finished!

Silence of Violence:
Bonjour ou Bonsoir Amie
Tu vois
Avec beaucoup de sincérité
Je suis mon cœur
Il a ses pensées , ses choix et ses propres idées
C'est alors et seulement
Que l'on devient acteur de sa vie
Il faut dans la vie savoir aussi
Tendre la main à qui en a besoin
Sans en espérer un retour
Juste se dire que c'était bien
Alors s'installe une belle harmonie avec soi-même
Je te souhaite ce qu'il y a de meilleur
Profite bien , belle journée
Bisous , Amitié Bernard
Merci, Bernard, pour votre paroles. I understand your words. They are so beautiful, mais excusez moi pour mon français. Je le comprend bien mais je ne l'ecrir bien. Sorry for that and merci bien! 😄
Beautiful 🌺 Also, I've nominated you for the Sunshine blogger award..check out my post😄
Love the life you bring to the picture, Marta. "Rocks sweating water"… For me when I read this I thought of detoxing negativity and as it spills into the "iron fountain", it makes room for something beautiful and refreshing to the spirit. We humans have to do that in life. Release the negative to let in the positive. Love the calm and light that comes from these words, my friend. Really beautifully written! 💕
Reblogged this on By the Mighty Mumford and commented:
Thank you again for this 2nd reblog!
Reading this verse, with a moment of nature's wonders, is truly refreshing, Marta. 🙂

I have a Mac Mini (2010) that I use as a home server with a DAS (2 drives) attached over USB. Everything is on 24/7.
From all my research online, it seems that spinning hard drives up and down constantly is actually only worse for the drive so I've unchecked "Put hard disks to sleep when possible". Now the internal drive as well as the two externals are spinning 24/7.
The other reason I keep the drives spinning is that if I do have the drives on auto-sleep, I keep getting I/O Errors from the kernel log for my two external drives on USB which was very worrying. Keeping the drives spinning makes those errors go away entirely.
The problem is that the internal drive on the Mini crashed recently and it was only about 7 months old :( Thankfully it was under warranty but the next time I probably won't be so lucky.
This has me doubting my always-spin approach. All the stuff I read previously was for 3.5" server drives, maybe the 2.5" drives are different in this regard and I should sleep them when possible? Or was I simply just unlucky with that crashed drive?
Additionally: Should I want to sleep the 2.5" internal drive, is there a way to sleep the internal but keep the externals spinning? Seems like the pref panel as well as pmset apply the setting to all drives.

My mum's birthday was actually last week, and we each enjoyed a big slice of this cake then, along with a glass of bubbly.
If you've been following me for a while it probably has not escaped your attention that I am Belgian, and proudly so. I have not lived in my country for three years, two months and seven days (but who's counting…) but you know the funny thing about moving to another country is that you suddenly become highly patriotic. Whereas Belgium, to me, had seemed to be an endless pit of boredom where I would surely perish if I remained for the rest of my life, a few months after the move it suddenly was a fond memory. The speculaas, the poffertjes, Ghent and the Graslei, my family's farmhouse, with the field where I walked innumerable kilometres as I studied, repeating my lessons out loud to myself… Gradually, I began to miss all those little things that had never mattered before. Apparently they've recently repainted the door of my school; it used to be a gorgeous, deep cyan. That made me very sad.
And then there's the chocolate.
You can throw all the other kinds at me – Swiss, Swedish, German, I don't care, Belgian chocolate will always be the winner for me. Although there is a very, very good chocolaterie in Berlin, on the Gendarmenplatz, called Fassbender & Rausch, where I may or may not have once have spent over €40 worth of chocolate. You know the latest creation Côte d'Or has come up with, after they invented that lush milk chocolate with Speculaas pieces in it? Dark chocolate stuffed with smashed Amaretti biscuits. I mean, c'mon. Orgasm in a chocolate bar. Beat that, all you over-sweetened, sickly creamy "chocolate" bars.
But my mum's favourite chocolate has always been Gianduja. A small packet, wrapped in earthy green paper that made a crinkly sound when you opened it, and stubby green little slabs of chocolate inside. It was Mum's chocolate and if you took a bar, she'd know it. Hazelnuts and milk chocolate. A heavenly marriage of flavours and textures. What's that you say – Nutella? Please.
I was not refined enough to appreciate the luxurious decadence of Gianduja when I was a child. I always preferred milk chocolate, which was so addictive, and then dark chocolate, plain and moody, through my teenage years (how appropriate).
But I am a grown-up now. I have tasted excellent chocolate, and I have tasted poor chocolate. (That is indeed a not-at-all subtle jab at you, Great Britain. What you call chocolate I call a sin against the word itself.) As I sit here munching on a cheap slab of plain chocolate I miss the idea of the chocolate I used to eat, and then I remember that sadly, the chocolate industry I once loved uses dairy from factory cows, and that, I cannot condone. I used to cheat on dairy chocolate a lot, but less and less as time passes by. Quality is not just about the luxury of the brand; it's about the ingredients that are used, and were they came from.
This cake, my friends, is a luxurious, decadent, refined cake, made only with excellent chocolate. Only the best for my mum.
• I know American and other international readers may not have access to Bourbon creams. Firstly, let me commiserate your loss; life's not worth living without Bourbon creams (I am not being dramatic here). But any chocolate biscuit will do. Try chocolate Oreos (check that they are vegan!) or other sandwich biscuits with a creamy centre. Always, always check the ingredients list before you buy.
• You can purchase coconut cream from most large supermarkets in the UK. If you should for some reason not be able to find any, fret not; soya cream or full-fat coconut milk will do the trick. Whatever substitute you opt for, remember that it must set in the fridge.
Makes one 22cm (9 inch) cake
For the crust:
300g (10.5 oz) bourbon creams
200g (7 oz) chopped dates, stones removed
2 tbsp hazelnut milk
Line a springform tin with baking parchment.
Pulse the bourbon creams till they resemble coarse sand. Add the chopped dates and pulse till combined. Pour this sticky mixture into a bowl. Add the hazelnut milk and mix it all together with your hands until you obtain a sticky batter.
Press this dough into the bottom of your springform tin, making it smooth and even. Leave it to set in the fridge.

Age Better Newsletter #35 – June 20th, 2013
Published by George Parigian Jr. for Opted-in Subscribers
Truisms about in the field of health and nutrition. We have been told for years now that we need calcium to prevent osteoporosis, but recent evidence suggests that taking extra calcium may not be all that healthy. In fact it may even raise your risk of heart disease!
Calcium has to be balanced with magnesium to be absorbed properly. There also has to be adequate vitamin-d levels for calcium to be assimilated properly. Recent evidence indicates that an imbalance of calcium can increase your risk of heart disease.
Few people know that vitamin-k2 is also essential to utilizing calcium properly. K2 is one of THE most important (but least known) nutrients in preventing heart disease and also osteoporosis, because it is needed to properly absorb and metabolize calcium.
Check out this book on calcium and vitamin k2 by Kate Rheaume Bleue at this link:
This is the Kindle version for those of you who live in far away places. You can still access it as a download from Amazon. The book received 5 stars over 73 reviews! It doesn't get better than that.
It will tell you what you need to know about k2, how to get it in your diet and how it enables you to efficiently utilize calcium for building bones while avoiding atherosclerosis.
I urge you to educate yourself on this topic. It could very well be a matter of life and death!
Do you have a disease, or other medical condition that you or someone close to you is suffering from that you would like me to research and write about? Then please let me know. I can't give medical advice because I am not a doctor.
But I CAN research things and look for the most cutting edge information and research on that topic and present it to you and everyone who reads this newsletter. Our knowledge is advancing rapidly, and I am here to report on the very latest on health, wellness, and anti-aging for everyone who reads this newsletter!
So if you have questions, or comments, please share them with me. I love hearing from you!
I love science fiction, especially the "super hero" genre. I just saw the "man of Steel" the 2013 version of the Superman saga. I had heard pro and con about this film, but I have to say I was quite impressed by this film.
The film was directed by Zack Snyder and stars Henry Cavill as Superman and Amy Adams as Lois Lane. Cavill's Superman though different than Chris Reeves, retains the essence of who and what Superman is.
He presents a deeply principled individual of great power who understands the necessity of restraint. He is (just like Chris Reeves) the consummate gentleman, who puts the well being of others before himself. This is the kind of selfless persona that you expect from this character.
Lois Lane played by Amy Adams is a far cry from the previous versions of that character. She is tough and resourceful in her own way and gets into the action, helping Superman escape from captivity by General Zod. Adams in my view does a great job with this iconic character!
The action sequences are mind blowing thanks to state of the art CGI. The villains (General Zod and company) seem harsher and more violent than in past films, and the ending which I will not give away, follows this pattern.
If you are up for a good time at the movies, I would highly recommend "Man of Steel." It's great fun and will not disappoint.
Do you remember Vanessa Williams? She was the first "black" Miss America and had to give up the title because it was found that she had posed nude years before, and the pictures surfaced and caused a scandal.
She rebounded from this experience to become the most successful entertainer of any former Miss America.
She recorded a music video for the song called "Save The Best For Last."
What a beautiful song and performance by a very lovely woman.
This newsletter is read by people all over the world, so if you have something that you would like me to share such as music from your country or culture with the other readers, please let me know.
I gave some serious thought to this weeks quote, and in light of the recent revelations about the US government spying on it's own citizens, I thought this quote from John F. Kennedy fit perfectly.
"The very word "secrecy" is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths, and to secret proceedings."
John F. Kennedy
Thank you very much for sharing this time with me and reading my newsletter. If there are things you would like me to include, please let me know. I am always open to suggestions.
There will be another newsletter heading your way next Thursday, so look for it in your in-box, and please don't hesitate to write with your questions or comments.
You can reach me at: firstname.lastname@example.com
Yours in health,
George Parigian Jr.
