In person, Vicente del Bosque emits a sense of wisdom and calm, two qualities that could also be used to describe the Spain side he has coached with such aplomb since 2008. Under the 62-year-old – a victor at the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™ and UEFA EURO 2012 – La Roja have also won almost universal acclaim thanks to their characteristic style of play, which has come to be seen as an example to follow by lovers of the beautiful game across the globe.
Just hours ahead of taking on hosts Brazil at the Maracana in the Final of this year's FIFA Confederations Cup, a trophy that eluded him and La Selección at South Africa 2009, the FIFA World Coach of the Year for 2012 made time for an exclusive interview with FIFA.com.
FIFA.com: Vicente, looking at the way the game went rather than the final result, what positives and negatives can you draw from the semi-final against Italy?
Vicente del Bosque: We had to go through some very difficult moments. Italy caused us more problems than any other team, above all thanks to their strengths but also due to the odd flaw of ours. For instance, we were much too open, which was an error that we'd foreseen but were unable to rectify until the second half. What's more, we didn't control the play: normally we have 60 or 70 per cent of possession, but the other day it was more even.
It was a surprise to hear that you did not have a pre-written list of penalty takers for the shoot-out...
It's not a big deal. We've got quite a few players who are capable of taking penalties and the order wasn't important. The same thing happens when there are penalties to be taken during games. Whoever's feeling most confident out of the three or four main takers should step up.
Even so, it does give an insight into the way you and your coaching staff work. How would you describe the process?
A coach can't be lost in his own thoughts the whole time, but nor can he be leaping off the bench and thinking he's going to fix everything himself. Eight eyes see more than two and my colleagues always help me get a better perspective on things. Working on your own, you sometimes can't see where your team's going wrong.
What's happened in the past doesn't count in a game like this. In terms of titles, they are the 'fathers' of football and we're still getting started, but the game will still begin 0-0.
In that tactical context, it was also interesting to see Javi Martinez, normally a defensive midfielder, brought on up front. Is that a ploy you've worked on before or was it purely to do with your reading of the game?
It wasn't something we'd planned, it was a reaction to what was going on out on the pitch. The match needed someone with vitality, strength and continuous graft in an area of the field where Xavi and [Andres] Iniesta had already put in a huge amount of work. But we also needed someone capable of making space for themselves and who was good in the air. There were several things needed and Javi Martinez was able to give us them all.
Do you feel like Spain are being put to the test more and more?
We've got a burden of responsibility, which is the result of everything we've achieved. Before we were just contenders and now we're the reigning [FIFA World Cup] champions, so it's to be expected that people know more about us and we're less able to spring a surprise. It's not easy finding new ways to surprise teams, so everything we do we have to do really well.
One of the team's strong points remains the backline, despite having a relatively new central-defensive pairing. Do you think Spain get enough credit for that?
We're not a team that can be tagged as 'defensive', nobody could use that to sum us up. It's clear that there's a relationship between the amount of time we have the ball and how that impacts on which team has the initiative. This isn't a team that needs to spend much time looking over its shoulder, and a large chunk of the credit for that must go to [Sergio] Busquets and Xavi, who give us balance.
Before we ask you what you make of Brazil, it was interesting to see your comment about how excited your players are about the whole package of the Final, the Maracana and taking on the hosts…
They're all still young guys with hopes and dreams, and it'd be a bad day if they stopped having them. While a lot of people dream about things that are unachievable, these lads have managed to make several dreams come true, so it's nice to know this game's given them something new to strive for. Without emotion and excitement, you can't do anything.
So, now can you tell us what you make of this Brazil side?
They're not a team that are easy to dominate. All their wide players have good control and get into goalscoring positions, while their central core gives them balance – both their centre-backs and their holding midfielders. They're a young, complete and very vibrant team. It'll be important to make sure that they don't overwhelm us early on.
Are you surprised by how much Luiz Felipe Scolari has achieved in just six months?
Scolari has a great knowledge of Brazilian football and he's gone searching for the essence of that, but with the same level of organisation as a European team. They don't have star names but they've got a lot about them, and he's built them into a team in every sense of the word. This has been a big test for them and they've achieved their objective of reaching the Final.
Is there a favourite in the Final?
I'm stating the obvious, but what's happened in the past doesn't count in a game like this. In terms of titles, they are the 'fathers' of football and we're still getting started, but the game will still begin 0-0.
How much would this title mean to this generation of Spain players?
Beating Brazil in their own backyard would represent a significant, symbolic feat. We've been given a lot of recognition for what we've achieved so far, but recognition goes hand-in-hand with keeping on winning. We're hoping to live up to the responsibility.

NORFOLK, Va. - The Navy is telling its leaders around the world to work harder on preventing sexual assaults by sailors after two enlisted men were arrested in Japan on rape charges, inflaming tensions with a critical ally in the region.
The alleged rape was reported Oct. 16 in Okinawa, leading to an uproar on the island and a sharp rebuke from the Japanese government. According to Japanese media, the sailors had been drinking before they attacked the woman, in her 20s, who was on her way home before dawn.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with her and her family. We cannot comprehend the grief and trauma she has endured. We are appalled that such violent criminal behavior reportedly emerged from our ranks," Adm. Cecil D. Haney, commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, and Adm. William E. Gortney, commander of U.S. Fleet Forces command, wrote in a message to their top officers and enlisted leaders on Nov 3.
The Associated Press obtained a copy of the message on Friday.
Charged in the case are Seaman Christopher Browning of Athens, Texas, and Petty Officer 3rd Class Skyler Dozierwalker of Muskogee, Okla. Both are 23, joined the military in 2008 and are assigned to Joint Naval Air Station, Fort Worth, Texas.
Following their arrest, all U.S. military personnel in the country were subjected to a curfew and other restrictions by U.S. Forces Japan. The 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. curfew applies to U.S. military personnel whether they are stationed in Japan or just visiting. It requires them to be in their homes, on base or wherever they are lodging.
Tensions between the U.S. military and their Okinawan hosts are long-standing.
Local opposition to the U.S. bases over noise, safety concerns and crime flared into mass protests after the 1995 rape of a schoolgirl by three American servicemen. That outcry eventually led to an agreement to close a major Marine airfield, but that plan has stalled for more than a decade over where a replacement facility should be located.
"All hands must understand that liberty is a mission with strategic implications. Our warfighting strategy relies in part on the willingness of host nations to provide our forces access to their ports. To support this mission area, our sailors must be exemplary ambassadors of our Navy and our nation," Haney and Gortney wrote.
Sexual assaults have long been a problem in the Navy, with 496 involving sailors being reported in the 2012 fiscal year.
The Navy has placed unprecedented attention on addressing the issue this year, hoping the continued involvement of its top admirals will send a message that it's not something that will be tolerated.
"These staggering numbers and the horrific incident in Okinawa gives us all reason for action," Haney and Gortney wrote.
Among other things, the Navy has been working to reduce alcohol abuse and get junior sailors to step in and stop their colleagues from putting themselves in a situation where an assault might occur before it ever happens.
Haney and Gortney's message reiterated the importance of making sure every commanding officer's crew does that.
"Our professional and personal behavior directly affects our warfighting readiness," they wrote. "This inappropriate behavior is unacceptable. We demand your attention and leadership."

Had tex-mex omelet with home fries and toast, and coffee. Delicious omelet, great service — friendly and attentive. Nice place too. Very clean, nice decor. Back soon!
Chris A., Plymouth, NH
I stopped by for lunch takeout recently and ordered the Chicken Caesar Wrap ($6.99) served with homemade Mug chips. The staff was friendly and the order was ready in about 10 minutes after I ordered. The wrap I had tasted pretty good … The Mug chips were crunchy outside and firm on the inside. I wish the potato chips I buy at the store were always like this. I would stop in here again for another meal if I happen to be passing through the area again for work or for a weekend drive. …
Ian W., Pelham, NH
The view was nice, the atmosphere for lunch was perfect.. The food was very good .. The lunch menu was full of good things. The service was perfect. I drive by every day and I finally stopped in… I promise .. It will be my favorite spot for lunch… And I am looking forward to trying out breakfast .. I do expect it will be as good as lunch was … Great place …
RMHeath, Webster, NH
This new addition (last year) to the Center Harbor waterfront is excellent. The atmosphere is perfect. Bright, nautical, and so welcoming. The food options are a great mix of seafood, salads, tips, and pizza just to pick a few of our favorites. The seafood specials this weekend were delicious – salmon with fruit salsa and pasta with a lobster vodka sauce. Wow. The pomegranate martinis are the best. Leave room for the homemade desserts. We often go by boat – great lakefront treat.

Time to think
Ask me for the most important broadcast on the BBC each day and my answer is a moment of silence.
It comes a second before six o'clock each evening on Radio 4, between the Westminster chimes and the heavy cracked bong of Big Ben.
This tiny scrap of what might usually be dismissed as dead air speaks louder than all the declamatory brass and frantic graphics of contemporary news broadcasting. It subtly informs listeners that this is a bulletin that values the time to think.
The news business trades on immediacy, but the preoccupation with now is pervasive. I am as guilty as anyone in feeling compelled to check the headlines, latest sports score, Twitter, Facebook, the FTSE, emails and texts in the tiniest gaps during my waking hours.
Those moments when the mind might once have been allowed to daydream and drift, to ponder and contemplate, are filled with urgent checking and responding.
This may give an impression of purposeful activity but, if I am honest, is too often the irrational behaviour of a creature terrified of being found behind the curve.
An article in the New York Times by the biologist Neil Shubin last week employed a glorious phrase to describe this phenomenon: he wrote of how humanity's increasing need to communicate and trade had led to an "ever-finer parsing of the moments of our lives".
He contrasts this "need to segment a day into milliseconds" with the biological fact that "virtually every part of us - all our organs, tissues and cells - are set to a rhythm of day and night."
Our bodies are designed for a routine conducted in simple time: two beats in the bar, up at dawn and down at dusk. But modern life moves to a syncopated, insistent and incessant beat.
There is little opportunity to stand still, almost no pause in this unremitting daily dance.
I am not the only one who worries at seeing meditation and reflection squeezed out of modern life. Professor David Levy from Washington University gave a talk a few years ago in which he asked why it was that, despite remarkable tools to automate information processing, "we have less time to think than ever before."
In his presentation, Levy argues that technological devices designed to connect us also dis-connect us, crowding out "slow time activities" such as "reflection, play and long-term love relationships."
There is a counter-argument to this demand for more time to reflect. In his book Thinking, Fast and Slow, the Nobel Prize winning professor Daniel Kahneman describes the two different ways the brain forms thoughts:
- System 1: Fast, automatic, frequent, emotional, stereotypic, subconscious
- System 2: Slow, effortful, infrequent, logical, calculating, conscious
He argues it would be a mistake to assume that logical thought somehow trumps automatic reaction. System 1 thinking is often highly sensitive to subtle cues and is, after all, the source of the "fight or flight" response that kept our ancestors alive.
Malcolm Gladwell goes further. In his book Blink, he suggests we live in a society dedicated to the idea that we should spend as much time as possible in deliberation. "As children, this lesson is drummed into us again and again: haste makes waste, look before you leap, stop and think. But I don't think this is true."
Gladwell argues that there are lots of situations when instant judgments are better than considered thought. "I think it's time we paid more attention to those fleeting moments," he says, suggesting a general policy of intuition would result in a happier world.
I am not sure I agree. We may all, at times, be too quick to dismiss the value of first impressions and snap decisions. But my concern is that System 2 thinking is being crowded out by the cult of immediacy.
Contemplation requires time and space, commodities increasingly sacrificed on the altar of now. In hectic lives overflowing with demands for instant response, reverie is too often banished.
The pipe may no longer be fashionable, but the pipedream cannot be exiled with it. We need to find the places and opportunities where we can muse and mull, ponder and daydream.
The few moments of radio silence that precede the six o'clock and midnight news bulletins on Radio 4 are a vital defence against the noisy evangelists of now.

By Deborah Mersino
I've only been knee-deep in the world of gifted and talented education for 3+ years. Prior to that, my exposure was somewhat minor. I read scores of parenting books (some on gifted children), and we had both girls tested for programming at the Center for Talent Development at Northwestern University. We also considered sending them to Quest Academy in Palatine, Illinois, prior to our move to Colorado. However, it wasn't until this summer that we heard the words about our dd10 (dearest daughter who is 10), "She's an excellent candidate for a grade skip, and she wants to…"
Then, a week or so later, the same scenario repeated itself with my younger daughter at the Gifted Development Center in Denver, Colorado. "She, too, would be a prime candidate for acceleration."
My first reaction was, "Really? Are you serious?" For one, I thought acceleration was primarily geared toward early entrance to kindergarten and profoundly gifted kids entering college. Our two daughters, ages 9 and 10, were smack dab in the middle of elementary school. Did people really grade skip at this juncture? I had loads of questions:
- How will we know if it's the right decision?
- What happens if one skips and the other one doesn't want to?
- What about the fact that one daughter doesn't seem to be particularly fond of school? She's not even getting top marks.
- What about my perfectionistic daughter? Will it be too challenging for her?
- What about socially? Are they mature enough to handle a skip?
- Will the school be amenable? How do I even initiate the process of discussing acceleration?
- Should we be concerned that there are equally bright students (perhaps even more advanced) in their current classes? They do have peers. Shouldn't they simply stay where they are?
- Will they feel too much pressure? Is this just a novel idea that will wear off when the work seems harder?
- What about learning gaps? What happens if they don't know what they're supposed to learn about Colorado history and/or certain science requirements?
- What if they start and then hate it?
Thankfully, we got all of these questions answered and then some. Between Dr. Linda Silverman, Barbara ("Bobbie") Jackson Gilman, and Kim Boham at the Gifted Development Center, we not only discussed each question thoroughly, but we also learned an extraordinary amount about research on acceleration, how vital it is for the students to initiate the idea (not parents), and how to advocate with the school to ensure the best possible outcomes.
Many of you have asked me to share a bit more about our experiences. I'm going to simply provide a brief summary. As you can imagine, every child is different, and every school situation differs as well. This is not meant to be an exhaustive testimony on acceleration, but rather an example of how it unraveled for one family – ours. My hope is that you may resonate with some of the questions and/or concerns we had and learn a bit more about how to explore this option.
Here are some of the biggest lessons we learned:
- Comprehensive assessment and testing is essential. We were fortunate to have both girls tested at the Gifted Development Center in Denver, Colorado. We started with a Needs Assessment. Then, the measures administered included the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children – Fourth Edition (WISC-IV); Woodcock-Johnson III Tests of Achievement (WJ-III ACH), Self-Perception Profile – Ages 8-12, "What I Am Like", Gifted Development Center Emotional Inventory, Characteristics of Giftedness in Children Scale, Introversion/Extraversion Continuum, Behavioral Checklist, Short Sensory Profile, Overexcitability Inventory for Parents (OIP). This is only a sampling of the tests/measurements available to families; these represent the customized recommendations based upon our girls' Needs Assessments.
- Having a psychologist who specializes in gifted learners is essential. Both our girls felt an immediate rapport with the testers. Given we have an introvert and an extrovert, I was delighted. Such camaraderie helped make the entire experience much more enjoyable. Both girls had fun, and my oldest even said, "Why can't school be more like this?" Moreover, the amount of experience and discernment such experts bring can have a significant impact on the quality of the evaluation, recommendations, and consultation.
- Proper assessment gives parents a clear picture of their student. As someone who is admittedly controlling, I thought I had a pretty good read on my girls. I was actually aghast upon looking at their WJ-III scores. "Really?" I thought. I was also surprised to hear some of the comments they both had made to their testers about school. Afterwards, we felt as if we had new lenses on, which would help us in the years to come.
- Parents can discover hidden learning disabilities and/or minor glitches. We learned that both girls had small tracking issues with their vision, something that often goes undetected in regular eye exams. Both girls received referrals for visual-therapy. Parents of twice exceptional students benefit particularly from comprehensive assessments such as this.
- The post-test consultation was worth its weight in gold. I found myself shaking my head in amazement as I learned new insights about their personality types, their strengths, nuances, outlooks on life and family, views on school, needs, and passions.
- The Psychoeducational Evaluation we received allowed us to initiate discussions with our girls' school in an ideal manner.
In the days to follow, we contacted the school's GT specialist, who offered to complete the Iowa Acceleration Scale for both girls. According to the Institute for Research and Policy on Acceleration, the Iowa Acceleration Scale offers the following:
- A more objective look at the student;
- An analysis of the major factors to be considered in making a decision;
- Guidelines for weighting the relative importance of the major factors;
- Documentation of the student's strengths and concerns;
- A numerical range to guide the discussion and decision of acceleration; and,
- A standard of comparison with students who have had successful accelerations.
Together with the Psychoeducational Evaluation provided by the Gifted Development Center, this tool accessed additional factors. After the specialist discerned that both girls were, in fact, good candidates, he scheduled a meeting with the school principal, the assistant principal, the school counselor, the District's Gifted and Talented Coordinator, and our entire family.
We sat down in July with this group at the school and had an informal discussion about what the girls wanted and their concerns. Both girls readily stated they wanted to do a whole grade-skip. After discussing specifics, including dd10 going into Middle School instead of 5th grade, we came to a final decision.
In the weeks following, we had several conversations about next steps. It was then that the GT specialist suggested our dd10 take the end-of-year 6th grade Math assessment. Based upon her Woodcock-Johnson III scores, he and the principal thought she might benefit from a double-acceleration in Math. After taking the test, she was given the option to go from 4th grade math directly to 7th grade math; she chose to give it a whirl.
We're now several months into the school year, and I must say, the grade skips have had such an extraordinary positive impact on both girls. We're fortunate that the receiving teachers welcomed the girls with open arms and understanding. The principal, GT teacher, GT coordinator, and counselor proved so supportive and insightful. The adjustment has been much smoother than I anticipated. DD10 has confidence navigating the halls of middle school and has made good friends. She even went to her first dance right before Halloween! DD09 has finally gotten comfortable with not immediately knowing the answers in class and is developing much more of a growth mindset. She says this is her favorite year of school by far.
I realize we're fortunate. Not all administrators and classroom teachers are familiar with the empirical research on acceleration. My hope is that this post might open a few minds. There will always be those who argue, "But you're giving up a whole year with your kids!" and "They won't have their driver's license at the same time as other kids." I feel more calm about our decision than ever.
Thanks to the experts at the Gifted Development Center and the girls' school who guided us, I'm now aware of the dangers of not grade skipping students with certain profiles. Breezing through coursework without being sufficiently challenged and potentially losing interest in school altogether can prove debilitating – and even toxic – later on in life.
Here's to promoting a love for learning with no limits. Here's to the psychologists, gifted specialists, and administrators who take the time to learn about the research and the cognitive and social-emotional needs of these learners. You're impacting our collective futures, and I, for one, am utterly grateful.

ok, for one of our classes we have to list one of the buffer overrun vulnerabilities, "how it happens" and what the fix would do for the latest version of IE. i've looked in the IE fixes and all they say are "fixes buffer overrun vuln for IE" but doesn't go into detail about how.
if anyone who happens to know would help, that would be wonderful.

Elizabeth Blackwell (1821-1910)
Elizabeth Blackwell was the first woman doctor to graduate in the United States. She was a pioneer in women's medical education and a campaigner for women's rights. She was born in 1821 in Bristol, England, into a large and devout Quaker family. Her father Samuel Blackwell, a sugar refiner, believed in female education and was an active campaigner against slavery. In 1832 the family moved to the United States, settling in Cincinnati. Shortly afterwards Samuel died, and Elizabeth took up teaching in order to pay for medical school. She and her brothers and sisters were active in anti-slavery and the women's right-to-vote campaign. She lived with a doctor, and read her way through his library.
She then studied with two other doctors privately, before enrolling at Geneva Medical College in New York - the only place to accept her. The faculty put her application to the vote, and the students (thinking it a joke) voted her in. She faced amazement and resentment from her male colleagues, but stuck to her purpose. In January 1849 she was awarded a degree, graduating top of her class.
After graduating she went to Paris and London to 'walk the wards' and gain hospital experience. Unable to get a post in American hospitals, Blackwell, her sister Emily and friend Dr Marie Zakrzewaska started their own hospital, the New York Infirmary for Indigent Women and Children. They trained nurses during the American Civil War and subsequently opened a women's medical college at the infirmary in 1868.
Blackwell returned to England in 1869 and together with Florence Nightingale opened the Women's Medical College. From 1872 she taught at Elizabeth Garrett Anderson's New Hospital for Women and helped establish the London School of Medicine for Women in 1874. She was the second female doctor on the UK Medical Register (after Elizabeth Garrett Anderson) and retired at the age of 86. She died in England in 1910.

Technical Paper
Waste and Hygiene Compartment for the International Space Station
The Waste and Hygiene Compartment will serve as the primary facility for metabolic waste management and personal hygiene on the United States segment of the International Space Station. The Compartment encloses the volume of two standard ISS racks and will be installed into Node 3 after launch inside a Multipurpose Logistics Module on the Space Shuttle. Long duration space flight requires a departure from the established hygiene and waste disposal practices employed on the Space Shuttle. This paper describes requirements and a conceptual design for the Waste and Hygiene Compartment that are both logistically practical and acceptable to the crew.

When I planned the installation"Mendocino Crayon Box " I wanted the final piece and the finale to be a felted house. I wasn't sure exactly how to do this. I wanted to felt the jam shop at the bottom of Main St. I went over and got permission from the owner and she also gave me a jar of strawberry rhubarb jam.
Many months went by before I was ready to put up the pieces so I went back to the jam shop and asked for permission again. The owner only asked that we use push pins.
A few days later wen went over and began to put up the large felt panels . They didn't look right at all ! Each individual panel as fine but they didn't go together at all. Covering an entire wall is different than covering pillers. I went up and though a lot about buildings and murals. I tried to think of the entire wall as a canvas. I made several more pieces and was excited about how they looked together.
The day we decided to install the wall I was excited and also felt a premonition that something strange was going to happen. Little did I know how strange.
We began to put up the pieces. My assistant Kelly began hemming the pieces and putting them under tension so that they would look flat. I hadn't known how to put them up exactly so I was learning from her carpentry skills. Just then a woman showed up with a phone. Someone had reported us to the property manage of the building who insisted that we take the installation down immediately. I reassured her that we had permission but apparently we had permission from the owner of the business not the property owner and the building owner. She decided to come over and take photos so she could send them to the owner. We kept installing furiosly. When she arrived she was pretty disturbed .We tried to explain the townwide installation and showed her some other pieces. She departed.
We finished installing and were overcome with how cool the house looked covered with felt.
4 days later we had to take it all down. I have had to do this before with my street art but not with something I had permission for . {I thought } I guess you don't just need permission you need permission permission. With much art that goes on a street it can only be experienced as a picture.
I'm glad that we put this up and grateful to have had the opportunity even for a short while. When I looked at the finished house it was so strong and full of purpose. I had never seen anything quite like it before and I was delighted to have persevered .
Brand new ideas can be explosive. Now I can sit and steady the idea. And dream of felted cities.

DENVER (AP) — Suspended All-Pro linebacker Von Miller is in trouble with the law for the second time in a month.
Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson told Denver television station CBS4 on Tuesday night that the Denver Broncos' troubled star was cited last week for driving without a license and speeding near his home.
Robinson said Miller was with his father, who was then allowed to drive the vehicle.
The Broncos declined comment on Miller's latest legal troubles when contacted by The Associated Press.
In addition to the six-game suspension he's serving for violating the NFL's substance-abuse policy, Miller was arrested last month while trying to purchase a firearm when a routine background check revealed he had an outstanding warrant.
In that case, Miller failed to appear for a court hearing on charges from last October when he was cited for careless driving and not having a license or proof of insurance.
CBS4 reported that Miller's most recent citation came about when a routine computer check showed Miller's license had already been suspended.
It's unclear when Miller is due in court on last week's charges because the citations aren't listed yet in online court records.
The AP left a message with Robinson late Tuesday night that wasn't immediately returned.
Miller had 30 sacks in his first two NFL seasons. He was the defensive rookie of the year in 2011 after the Broncos made him the second overall pick out of Texas A&M.
He set the franchise record with 18½ sacks last season, leading Broncos Executive Vice President John Elway to call him the best player he's ever seen.
Miller first made headlines in the offseason when he guaranteed the Broncos would win the Super Bowl, but he can't start to back up that boast until Week 7 when Denver plays at Indianapolis.
Miller's suspension will cost him $800,000 in salary and potentially another $1.2 million in prorated signing bonuses.

LifeOps needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 192 designs submitted by 54 freelance designers.
Life Ops Consulting Group
We are a small management consulting firm specializing in helping life insurance companies improve their:
1) Service, to advisors and policyholders,
2) Quality, or accuracy of their service work, and
3) Control, which includes both management and financial control.
We help companies in two ways. First, we apply our experience and expertise to their challenges (we've been there). And second, we run industry-wide surveys to help them understand the issues and opportunities.
We have just launched a new brand and our goal is to position ourselves as the industry benchmark in our niche.
We work with senior management and executive-level members of the larger insurance companies.
Our clients are senior suit and tie executives aged anywhere from 35-65. They are not the web 2.0 social-network types, though they have a taste for modern technology (laptops, BlackBerrys, and BMWs).
While we're a small firm, our goal is to align ourselves as the industry benchmark for the service we offer. Our branding imagery should reflect both this direction, and perhaps our niche position in the sector.
We want the branding to suggest stability and strength, with both professional and modern influences in the design.
We'd like our brand name to be part of the logo. "Life Ops" is the name while "Consulting Group" should be smaller.
Our value proposition is centered around Service, Quality and Control – three interdependent elements that we address for our clients.
Finally, as a business, we solve challenges – and while we're not looking to get too cliché with the imagery, fixing processes or improving performance are among the concepts that may help guide you.
We are open to your concepts and would like to see a variety of samples and styles. As designs filter in, we'll provide feedback about what we like and what we're looking for. Feel free to post any questions you may have.
The files we require are:
Print file format - .ai (CMYK)
Web file format - .jpg and layered .psd (RGB)
Please do not use any stock images or clip art in the logo.

During an author interview, have you ever been asked about how you write? Do you type on a computer, use longhand, record your own voice…? This question is asked so frequently that it's become cliché, but it does raise an interesting point: does varying your writing process add variety to your writing itself?
Writing on a mobile phone or tablet offers the portability of a pen and notebook, while also allowing writers to use the resources of the Internet or even incorporate pictures. How can a description of a city scene be enhanced by a picture of that exact scene? Should it? Tablet writers must deal with the endless possibilities technology offers — possibilities which could distract from the work itself.
As the celebrated young
Personally, I need to shut off the Internet if I'd like to get any writing done. There are far too many distractions on the Internet to waste the precious time I find to write. But I also appreciate the new possibilities that technology has availed us to, including the ability to write interactively, using the Internet to enhance your perception of a scene, or even allow you to incorporate technology into your writing. While writing on a cellphone or tablet is a far cry from a notebook, it does not seem like writing has changed fundamentally because of their invention. If anything, the introduction of technology into my writing practice allows my writing to be more experimental, more informed, and more current.
How has how you write affected what you write?

Adobes livedocs are ok, but it really helps to find real world examples. I tried searching for the various things I needed, but to no avail. I finally found some screencasts on youtube that helped, so I got my problem solved. This tutorial is what I've learned, and I hope it helps you get what you need done.
Now, enough of my Rant. Lets code!
So my main task for this article is to load an external file into a flash app, and display it in a text box. This is specifically good for loading text that will be changed periodically. Rather than open flash, edit the file, re-publish, and upload the new file, you can just pull all the data from a txt file and display it there. We can even render the text as HTML!
Well build this app using the TextArea component. Just go to Window->Components to pull up the components window. Drag a TextArea component to the stage, and give it an instance name. Well call ours external_faq.
Now for the code. Ill give the code, and then Ill go ahead and explain it. All of the following code goes in the timeline on the same frame as the objects it references.
var faqLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); // Step 1 faqLoader.load(new URLRequest(test.txt)); // Step 2 faqLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete); // Step 3 function onComplete (event:Event):void // Step 4 { var faq:String = event.target.data; // Step 5 external_faq.text += faq; // Step 6 }
Step 1
We need to make a new URLLoader, so we define the variable faqLoader as a URLLoader, then call a new URLLoader() object. The URLLoader will hold the data returned by the URL.
Step 2
We go ahead and load the url, using the URLRequest() object. We use the load method of the URLLoader object, and open a new URLRequest object, which contains the path to our text file. Simple enough.
Step 3
Now we go ahead and add an Event Listener to our faqLoader to listen for when the loading as been complete. An event listener is the equivalent of using an onWhatever event with older Action Script. There are many different Event Listeners and Event types. For instance you could have an event:MouseEvent and check for when MouseEvent.CLICK occurs to see when a user clicks their mouse on the object the code is attached to. Thats getting on a tangent though.
Step 4
We set a String variable to hold the text that is loaded from the file. This will enable us to do any string manipulation we may wish to do. However, were going to keep this one simple, and just display the text to the TextArea component.
Step 5
Finally, we set the text property of the TextArea component to our String variable. Note that we I am not using external_faq.text = faq. I am using external_faq.text += faq. Also, if you wanted to use html formatted text, you would use the htmlText property.
Finally, the text file that you have written doesnt need any variables inside it. All it needs to contain is the text you wish to display.
I hope this tutorial is useful for anybody who had the same trouble I did. I know its a relatively simple application, but making that migration from Actionscript versions can be tough. Question and comments are welcome. I'm by no means a Flash expert, but I'll see what I can answer. I'm sure others will as well.

Howard: Back in the swing of things
Phillies first baseman returns to lineup for first time since 2011
This was the first time I had experienced such a long layoff away from the game of baseball. It was a real learning experience. I would not recommend it to anybody. I guess the best way to put it is that it is just one those things that you go through in life.
I felt during the time I was away due to the Achilles surgery that it was very, very important to try and keep a positive outlook. I did my best. There were times when it would have been easy to get down on myself and the situation and all, but I tried my best to spin it around.
I did a good job of listening to my body, and there were times when my body was saying that it wasn't ready yet. I knew my body would ultimately let me know. So, it was, I believe, critical that I stayed positive.
Now, it is nice to talk about baseball again and not about my health. Like I had told people before, the situation with my leg going forward is, "It is going to be what it is going to be." I just have to watch it, I just have to police it as best as I can.
It is great to be talking baseball, though -- that is for sure. It is nice to be going out there to do my best to contribute to wins. I recently hit my first home run of the season, and it was nice to make solid contact and to make something happen. But the important thing is that it came as part of a victory.
At the plate right now, I am about getting back into the flow. Confidence is always a big thing when you play at this level, and right now, for me, it is also about making adjustments. I feel good, but I am looking to slow myself down at times. Sometimes I have been a little quick at the plate, so it is about slowing down and making those adjustments.
Even though it doesn't show right now, I do feel good against lefties. I have faced a lot of guys since I have been back who throw hard from the left side, guys throwing 94 miles per hour or so. Those have been some uncomfortable at-bats before, but it has felt pretty good for me of late.
As a team, we need to keep doing what we have done the past few games. We have to forget about the first half of the year. Basically, the goal is to go out there and win each series.
We have a lot of hope still. You have to forget that first half -- it was what it was -- and we need to go out and win.
A big plus also for us right now is that we got back Roy Halladay. That brings a lot of excitement. We have a job to do. We need to go out there and help back up Roy.
Phillies slugger Ryan Howard made his 2012 debut on July 6. He had missed the entire season due to an Achilles injury he suffered during the final play of the Phillies' National League Divisional Series loss to the Cardinals last October.

Sony Online Talks PlanetSide Next: 'Battles on a Scale No Other FPS Will Touch'
"To me, Planetside Next means we get a chance to take the essence of everything that was fun in Planetside and make it a lot better," he wrote in a blog post noticed by PlanetSide-Universe. "Massive battles on a scale no other FPS will touch. None of this 64 player stuff. REALLY MASSIVE. With much better organization, and a tight focus on making sure the action is always going on, with awesome graphics."
In addition, Smedley made note of frustrations he had with the original.
"The whole Sanctuary concept is something that slowed things down too much," he explained. "We also didn't get people back into the action quickly enough."
Smedly also specified that Core Combat was "the wrong direction," explaining "we were dealing with a new game and we thought we had the direction right...we didn't at all."
Few proper details on PlanetSide Next have emerged beyond its existence, though a recent survey sent to PlanetSide subscribers offers some insight into the possibilities.

My car made an awful noise. The loud, squealing sound prompted a horrendous flashback to "The Ghost of Christmas Past," namely last December when I faced multiple costly automobile issues that still haunt.
I steeled myself for another horrific bill this year as I parked in the service bay at my friendly dealership. The technician was quite friendly, but not very encouraging as I explained the issue.
I went to work with a grim sense of apprehension.
Hours ticked by. In nervous anticipation, I sat at my desk, awaiting the vehicular verdict.
December, of course, can be an expensive month on its own, with gift giving, holiday parties, snow removal, and the joyful tidings of property tax bills in the mailbox…
Finally, I got the call.
Consumer budgets and expenditures are not static. Emergency savings accounts are very important. Best considered financial plans can go awry. Many external variables—as well as human psychology—come into play.
Research findings this week touch on consumer spending hopes and expectations for the holiday and winter season, plus a look at how mandatory vs. discretionary spending might influence seasonal budgets.
How do all of the pieces come together? Are your members prepared for the unexpected? Are you?
'A budget tells us what we can't afford, but it doesn't keep us from buying it.'–William Feather, American author
Consumers have control over discretionary holiday spending, and interesting research this week reveals trends and considerations regarding seasonal expenditures. A further report provides a psychological explanation of pricing preferences.
"Tis the Season to be Fiscally Cautious," according to Nielsen. "Nielsen expects this holiday shopping season will be marginally stronger than last year, with dollar sales rising about 2%, buoyed by the strongest consumer sentiment in six years."
Still, many consumers are sensitive to the recession's impact: 20% indicate there is no cash to spare and 68% "say they still feel like they're in a recession."
Nielsen also reports that 30% of shoppers will spend $250 to $500 this holiday season, while 20% will spend $500 to $1,000 and a mere 6% plan to spend more than $1,000. Among the favorite gifts this year: gift cards, toys, technology items, food, and sporting goods.
"U.S. Consumer Spending Gains More Over Thanksgiving," chimes in Gallup. On average, consumers spent $100 per day during the week of Thanksgiving, much more than the average for all of November. This figure is also somewhat higher than Gallup's findings over the last five Thanksgivings.
"Spending appears to be continuing at a high level through Tuesday of the week after Thanksgiving, suggesting that holiday spending this year may be spread out rather than concentrated on just one day, such as Black Friday."
"Americans' predictions of how much they will spend on Christmas gifts is as much an attitude as a factual report," observes another Gallup resource, "Christmas Spending Further Explained."
This is because there is an emotional aspect to holiday shopping that often transcends budgets. "When consumers feel confident about the U.S. economy and comfortable financially, they are more likely to give… a robust holiday spending prediction, perhaps possibly overstating what they will ultimately spend."
Financial concern, too may temporarily reign in spending until Santa finds himself in a beautifully decorated shopping center.
For another compelling angle on the psychological component of shopping, see "The Psychology of Pricing: Customers Prefer Round Numbers."
"The World of Goo," a puzzle video game, allowed buyers to download the product at a price of their choosing vial PayPal. More than 65,000 people paid between one cent and $150.
The most striking statistic: "57% of consumers picked whole-dollar amounts ending in zero, and an additional 4% chose to pay round, half-dollar amounts. Those percentages are far too high to be random."
Studies of amounts spent at gas stations and on tipping concur that whole-dollar and half-dollar amounts spent prevail. "Consumers' preferences for round prices is so strong that they'll calculate an exact tip amount to arrive at a round total."
Do you price your products and services accordingly?
Unlimited wants and limited resources
Bills pile up, and not all of them relate to discretionary spend of the holidays. "Need" spending, too, has ebb and flow.
"Food Prices Decline but Remain High," says The World Bank. "Global food prices declined 6% over the last quarter, but are still not far from their historical peaks."
Plus, "domestic prices showed typically large variations across countries, mainly attributable to seasonal trends but also due to a combination of factors including bad weather, public procurement policies, local supply shortfalls, and currency devaluations."
Winter utility bills are important budget items for everyone, but particularly so for older and low-income households, AARP reports.
"Heating costs continue to be higher for households heating with fuel oil than those heating with natural gas or electricity, but for the first time in years natural gas prices are rising as well."
Report graphics indicate that natural gas is the primary heating fuel for 53% of consumers aged 65+. Are your senior members prepared for the budgetary heating hit?
Myriad factors affect consumer spending—not the least of which are availability of resources, psychological motivators, and even the weather.
But you can help members prepare for the unexpected by making them aware of the variables over which they do have control, such as discretionary spending, and helping them understand the importance of rainy-day savings funds.
My car repair, fortunately, consisted merely of a minor oil leak that caused a belt to slip. But, the friendly technician also advised a transmission fluid flush to prevent a future mishap.
I am glad I can count on the dealership to keep me well-prepared and my vehicle running. They help me manage my expectations, at least to some degree.
Your credit union, too, is a reassuring source of expertise to help your members manage their financial expectations. Knowing how, why, and where consumers spend will help you help them keep their finances running smoothly.

Join American Iron Magazine and our colleagues at RoadBike for the inaugural Kickstart Classic, a two-day, 293-mile tour from the Wheels Through Time motorcycle museum in Maggie Valley, North Carolina to the Barber Vintage Festival at the Barber Motorsports Park in Leeds, Alabama. Sound simple enough? Well, here's the kicker: all the lead motorcycles must have a functioning kickstarter, and that's the only starter to be used for the duration of the tour. All makes, models, and years of bikes are welcome — but those that use electric starters will be relegated (not regulated) to the back of the pack.
The party starts with an all-day open house at Wheels Through Time on Wednesday, October 5. At 10 am the next day we ride to Rome, Georgia for a visit to Panhead City, the famous vintage Harley emporium. We'll get to Barber Motorsports Park by lunchtime on Friday October 7 — just in time for the start of the 7th Annual Barber Vintage Festival. Word has it we may also get to do a lap on the track!
Stay tuned to www.RoadBikeMag.com for more details!

Synthetic biology gets reborn as an aesthetic dream
SYNTHETIC biology is not like other sciences. At its first big conference, held just 10 years ago at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the startling initial premise was that life is simply too complicated for biotechnologists to easily modify and that it would be better if engineers rebuilt life from scratch so the created organisms did exactly what was required.
The youthful enthusiasm that powered the field, and brought together engineers, biologists, computer scientists, physicists and biohackers, persists today. There have been a few major achievements, most notably last month's creation of a computer-designed yeast chromosome. And before that, the creation of the first synthetic cell. Continue reading

How can we do interdisciplinarity if disciplines dont exist?

Helix In-Car Video
I am a former scientist, who became interested in car racing, thus the company name Helix. In 2001 I started a company to provide in car video to a race school, Skip Barber Racing School. Which is the largest racing school in the country. It operates at tens of racing tracks in the country. In the past ten years, our company has expanded its capabilities to include racing photography.
This brochure is MOSTLY for Skip Barber Racing School customers. People who have already signed up for the school. We just want to explain our services, in a brochure that they will get when they sign up for the school, so that when they get to the track/school. They will have a good idea of what their options are.
However, we also provide some in-car video services for some HIGHER level racing groups. It turns out that it is not that lucrative to do this. But it provides a certain amount of prestige, to be associated with these higher level racing groups. So that is something we probably should include.
The reason we do our work is two fold. The first is so that people can capture their experience in either photos or video. But for many of our best customers, the in-car video is a learning tool. They watch the videos to see what they are doing right and wrong, and thereby improve their performance.
Our audience are affluent. Racing is an expensive hobby or profession. They like adrenalin and competition, and love car racing. I would like the brochure to target the Skip Barber Racing School customer, but it would be great if it were easily modified, so that if we are doing a different program, we could modify a couple words and it would still work.
We are NOT really targeting a new market. We are trying to explain our services in a professional and exciting way to people who are already quite interested.
REQUIREMENT: One annoying thing. My company name is Helix In-Car Camera. But the Helix web site was taken. I thought that HelixUS.com would be clear to people. It's Helix in the US. But that hasn't worked out. Some people think the company name is helixus. Which it isn't. So it would be great if any reference to the helix website somehow differentiated the US portion of the email and website so that it is different. Perhaps a different color or maybe just in caps? http://WWW.HelixUS.COM whatever.
I have attached a couple PDFs that are versions of MY effort, which is obviously lame. But it does explain what we do. The one titled HelixFlyer20101130 is the most recent.
We would like the brochure to be one page. It would be good if it could be printed but ALSO something that could be emailed so that the facebook video link could be activated by the customer.
The video cameras we use, use GPS to know where on the track they are located. That allows them to give speed and lap times. The cameras also have G force sensors. G forces are important to know how you are driving.
The brochure should have the company information, which is:
Helix In-Car Camera
223 Egremont Plain Rd PMB 604
N. Egremont MA 01252
Unfortunately, I do not have a good logo. Just junk that I have created. The logos that I will attach. I think I prefer the one labeled NEW. As it is like the Mercedes AMG logo. Which is quite simple.
I want a brochure that explains our services to our potential customers:
in-Car video, and photography are our two services.
We have a lot more photos from different tracks, that I will attach.
****I would like the brochure to target our Skip Barber Racing School customers. But also reference our work with higher level racing groups: Star Mazda Pro Series, and Grand Am Rolex Series.****

Hinsidan - Bleach Dye Yr Heart gos30
2007. Post-industrial drone with a hypnotic bite.
There's a treasure of some of the most compelling post-industrial drone music hidden in an unlikely place: DENMARK. And we here at Gears of Sand are ecstatic to release Danish duo Hinsidan's latest release. By contrast to many detached ambient soundscape artists who seek refuge in the galaxies or far off fields, Hinisidan's inspirations are deeply personal, cathartic, and often deeply appreciative of their roots: "The magic three behind 'Bleach Dye Yr Heart' was animal rights, recovering from drug addiction and the joy of being a father. I am now three times a father. My youngest child's name is Sebastian (one of Bleach Dye Yr Heart's most compelling tracks), but the title is also a nod to the Cockney Rebel song from the early 70's," describes Hinsidan's power electronics/laptop mix master "Superjus." Hinsidan's other half is Atish Pare, a multi-instrumentalist who is fluent on everything from bass and electric guitar to drawing magic drones out of his tiny Buddha Machine prepared for maximum effect. Listening to 'Bleach Dye Yr Heart' one hears connections to drone giants Troum, especially in their use of deeply mesemric long tones. And even vocals make their way into the Hinsidan's shapeshifting, but presciently minimalist sound. A deeply emotive croon makes its way into one of the disc's more compelling tracks; evoking a kind of Throbbing Gristle meets Radiohead mutation. This is music with purpose and direction but one that flows naturally in a kind of semiotic revelation.
Superjus captures best what 'Bleach Dye Yr Heart' is all about: "We have finally gotten to the point where darkness, anger and hatred does not do the trick anymore. Now it is time for a clean house. BLEACH DYE YR HEART." Hinsidan which is Swedish slang for "the other side" create sounds of impermanence that tap the highest order of human clarity: Black sky. Rains come and the grass grows by itself. A singular organic entity shimmers in sun light. Spectacular cover and tray card graphics for Bleach Dye Yr Heart were done by genius multimedia artist and friend of GoS Paul McLean of artforhumans.com
