PUBH 315 / POLS 315 Public Health Policy and Practice in China (3 credits)
Public health policy in China has been shaped by rapid and profound economic, social, and political currents. This course examines those developments and their implications for public health practice. Contemporary issues in health policy at national and local levels will be explored within the context of the health system. Topics include the former One Child Policy and family planning, caring for an aging population, child and maternal health, health literacy, and regional and urban/rural variations in health.
INTS 380 Internship (3 credits)
Interns are placed in Chinese or international non-profits, corporations, consulting firms, or think-tanks focused on promoting public and environmental health. Placements are highly competitive, and other foreign languages and professional skills assist in the placement process as well. Interns spend approximately 25 hours per week at the internship site and complete a final academic paper with an accompanying oral presentation. Internships are supervised by a faculty advisor who meets with students at least twice individually and three times as a group.
Chinese Language (4 credits)
No prior language study is required. A placement exam during on-site orientation determines each student's appropriate language level.

INTS 380 Internship
In Beijing, students have the opportunity to participate in an unpaid, credit-bearing internship at sites that may include Chinese or international non-profits, corporations, or think-tanks focused on promoting public and environmental health. Students will spend 20-25 hours per week in their placement and will be expected to complete the academic requirements of their internship to receive credit. For more information, see the Beijing Internship Handbook.
Students are not required to have experience in Chinese language but will find that a lack of language proficiency may limit placement opportunities. The Alliance makes every effort to place interns at companies or organizations that match the organization's needs with a student's skills, experience, and goals, including but not limited to the student's Chinese language level and communication skills, prior professional experience, and work competencies. Students should not independently seek out organizations; although if a student has an existing personal contact for a specific, preferred placement they may communicate this to Alliance staff who will investigate whether it may be arranged in accordance with Alliance academic policies. The placement process begins with the submission of the Field Component Form upon acceptance into the program, and placements are typically finalized after an in-person interview in China.
Potential Beijing Internship Placements
Although the Alliance makes every effort to accommodate student preferences during the placement process, applicants are also encouraged to be flexible. Certain fields and industry sectors may limit the types of work available to undergraduate interns. The internship field in China's large cities is highly competitive and the number of available placements is limited.
- International Committee of the Red Cross, a humanitarian organization assisting victims of war and violence
- Huiling Community Services, a local non-profit helping mentally challenged individuals learn basic life skills
- North Head, a strategic communications and public affairs consulting firm working in public health and related areas
- International Union for Conservation of Nature, the world's largest non-profit global network addressing environmental issues
- Prore Pharm Co., a marketing and sales team for traditional and Western medicine and medical instruments
- International Economic Law Institute, a think-tank servicing multinational corporations and organizations
A study abroad experience is first and foremost an academic experience. All Alliance for Global Education courses have undergone a faculty review and approval process, and are transcripted by Butler University in Indianapolis, Indiana. While in most cases students who have received approval from their home institution to study on an Alliance program can be assured of credits transferring, it is each student's responsibility to work with the home school study abroad advisor and faculty or academic departments to ensure credit transfer for specific courses.
Credits and Accreditation
Credits granted for Alliance courses are identified in course listings on the Curriculum page for each program, and appear on the official transcript issued at the completion of a student's term. Credit is issued in U.S. semester hours, ensuring that students continue to make progress toward their degrees and verifying the full-time course load they completed while abroad.
All Alliance courses have been reviewed and approved by Butler University's Undergraduate Academic Programs Committee. Butler University is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and is a member of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. Programs approved by the Butler University College of Business—which include the Alliance's International Business in China Program—are accredited by AACSB International, the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business.
Students receive a letter grade on a scale from A to F for every course taken while enrolled on an Alliance program. Withdrawals may be granted due to exceptional circumstances. Although policies at students' home institutions may differ, the Alliance does not permit students to take courses on a credit/no credit or pass/fail basis. Student grades are determined by criteria set forth in course syllabi. The grading scale used in determining letter grades is as follows:
|< 60%
At the conclusion of a program, an official transcript is sent to the participant's home campus and to the student's permanent address. Please use this form if the Alliance has accepted you into a program and you have changed your home, school or billing address. Federal regulations require official documentation and a signature for address changes.
Because timelines for final evaluation may vary due to respective program calendars or administrative structures of partner universities abroad, transcripts may take longer to issue than they do at U.S. institutions. While the timeline varies by program, a general timeline for issuing transcripts is:
- Fall programs - transcript issued in late February
- Spring and Summer programs - transcript issued in late September
Transcripts are not released for students with an outstanding balance of program fees or other charge incurred while on the program. Students enrolling in consecutive terms with the Alliance do not receive their first term transcript until their second term fees are paid in full.
Students in Alliance programs from Summer 2014 and beyond can request additional transcripts of their transcripts online at any time from Butler University's online transcript ordering service provided by the National Student Clearinghouse, a nonprofit organization serving the higher education community.
For all Alliance programs through Spring 2014, transcripts were issued by Arcadia University. Students enrolled during that time can request additional copies of transcripts online or in writing from the Arcadia University Registrar's Office.
If you have a question about the transcripting process or timeline, please contact your Academic Records Coordinator.
Academic Record Appeal
The Institute for Study Abroad, Butler University (IFSA-Butler) can assist you with your academic record appeal for any IFSA-Butler or Alliance program by contacting the host institution you attended and/or program instructor as well as our staff abroad for further information.
Academic record appeals can be varied in nature, including grade appeals, credit appeals, courses missing from the transcript, course title, etc.
Students may appeal the content of their academic records according to the official procedures set by the host university and/or program. All appeals must be submitted to IFSA-Butler promptly after receipt of the Butler University transcript via our online Academic Record Appeal Form. IFSA-Butler allows students one year from the program end date to submit appeals, however it is the student's responsibility to be aware of and meet the deadlines set by the host university and/or program attended. The earliest deadline takes precedence.
No appeals will be undertaken for those students who have taken early examinations, have arranged to submit any course work outside the scheduled dates, have a financial hold on their account or have been accused of academic dishonesty for the course in question.
The appeals process may be lengthy due to differences between universities abroad and the U.S. academic systems and calendars. Therefore, you should expect that an appeal may take three weeks to three months to resolve.
What constitutes a valid academic record appeal?
You must have reason to believe that an error has been made in calculating your grades or credits (i.e. submitted work was not received; an error may have been made in marking your final exam, etc.) or that you were exempt from a portion of the coursework due to a documented medical or personal emergency.
The following arguments, on their own, are insufficient reason for an appeal:
- "My home university requires a higher grade for transfer of credit."
- "I feel I deserve a better grade."
- "I was over my head in this class."
- "I worked hard and spent a lot of time, effort and money on this class."
Complete the IFSA-Butler Academic Record Appeal form, clearly describing the nature of your academic record appeal. Upload any supporting documentation. You must be polite, specific, and when appropriate, substantiate your well-written logical appeal by providing relevant documentation. Upon receiving a response from your host institution and/or program instructor, your academic records coordinator will notify you of the results as soon as they are available.
All decisions made by the host university and/or program instructor are final. An academic record appeal may result in a higher or lower grade. IFSA-Butler reserves the right to withhold the submission of those appeals that do not meet the above criteria and to issue a final decision.

Students who are not enrolled in the Intensive Chinese Language option are housed in the International Student Dorm #17 in double rooms with other Alliance students. Rooms include: two single beds, two desks, two chairs, small book shelves, cabinets, desk lamps, TV, and air-conditioning, and a private bathroom. They are also wired for high-speed internet. Bed linens, including blankets and pillows, are provided by the dorm and cleaned once a week. Towels are not provided. Each floor is equipped with washing machines. Students can purchase tokens for the machines at the front desk of the dorm. Tokens cost approximately 4 RMB for the washing machine and 8 RMB for the dryer. There is also a kitchen with a stove and microwave on each floor. Students are able to borrow some basic cooking equipment from the Alliance.
All students studying Intensive Chinese Language are required to live with a host family. Other students who have completed at least two semesters of Chinese may also be eligible for the homestay option.
Through placements with a Chinese host families for the duration of the summer term, students gain an in-depth understanding of Chinese family dynamics and traditions through sharing meals and participating in other family activities.
Homestays provide students with an excellent opportunity to develop a more intimate understanding of Chinese culture and language through discussing and witnessing topics on Chinese culture, tradition and social life raised in the classroom with locals working and living in Beijing up close. Moreover, students who choose this option find countless opportunities to improve their Chinese language skills.
Certain meals are provided by students' host families. See the Food and Meals section for more information on which meals are included in the program fee.
Each student who enrolls in summer Chinese language study is paired with a Chinese graduate student whose major is teaching Chinese as a foreign language. Alliance students and language partners meet one-on-one for Chinese tutoring three times a week for an hour per session. However, students and their language partners often meet more regularly than the minimum requirement to explore Beijing together. Language partners provide Alliance students with additional opportunities practice their Chinese in an informal setting, pick up popular Mandarin slang, and deepen their cultural understanding. In addition to tutoring, language partners help orient Alliance students to campus life and serve as valuable cultural resources throughout the summer.
Chinese language partners are not currently available for Alliance students pursuing a summer internship.
Students not pursuing the Intensive Chinese Language option are responsible for providing their own meals. Students can choose to eat at the small restaurants on or nearby campus or eat in the dining halls, using meal debit cards. Students should budget around $10 per day for meals on or around campus.
Students enrolled in the Intensive Chinese Language option are provided breakfast and dinner by their Chinese host families, while students are responsible for their own lunches throughout the week. Host families provide all three meals on the weekends unless students attend organized excursions or choose not to dine with the family due to other plans.
Vegetarians will find that good food is available in China. Most restaurants serve lots of vegetables, tofu dishes, and staples such as rice, noodles, or dumplings. Note that some restaurants may use animal fat in preparing dishes.
The Alliance arranges extra-curricular classes which may include Chinese painting, calligraphy, cooking, taiji or other martial arts, pottery, seal carving, or paper cutting. These classes offer a wonderful opportunity to learn more about traditional Chinese culture.
Throughout the term, students are invited to take part in a full schedule of excursions, events and lectures - all designed to enhance their understanding of China and the historical and modern influences that impact its culture and people. Students explore the great historical and cultural monuments of the capital and benefit from visits to Beijing's art districts, lectures on China's environmental protection policies, or workshops on Chinese food culture. Below is a sampling of activities from previous terms. Specific activities for future terms are subject to change.
Forbidden City and Tian'anmen Square Tour
Students visit the Forbidden City and Tian'anmen Square, typically during their orientation. The tour is followed by Wang Fujing shopping street tour and Chinese acrobat show.
Olympic Games Facilities
Students attend a lecture tour through the nearby facilities constructed to support the 2008 Summer Olympic Games, including the Bird's Nest and Water Cube. The guide will engage students in discussion about its lingering environmental impacts and the Chinese relationship with competitive sports.
Meetings with U.S. and Foreign Diplomats
Students have the opportunity to meet with various diplomats stationed in Beijing and building strategic relationships with China and the greater Asia-Pacific region. Discussions may focus on topics related to public health initiatives, environmental issues, and inter-governmental collaboration.
Cooking Class at a Local Restaurant
A culinary lesson with Beijing chefs introduces students some of China's most popular dishes, while providing a hands-on opportunity to learn about local food supply and dietary considerations.
Houhai Lake Hutong Tour
This tour includes some of the oldest residential neighborhoods in Beijing, with beautiful traditional Chinese courtyard houses. Previous students visited a local artist's house and paper cutting gallery. They also enjoyed lunch with a family in one of the courtyards and learned to make dumplings.

A three-day field study trip exposes students to China's social, economic, geographic, and linguistic diversity outside of the capital city. This exposure coupled with the opportunity to practice their Mandarin in areas with regional and ethnic inflections to the Chinese language endows students with a richly textured sense of the many realities that exist within China.
The location of the three-day summer field study trip varies each year. Destinations may include Qingdao or Xi'an.

Mom was remembering the Thanksgivings from the far past, when the whole family would gather together when she lived in Southern California.
Everyone would take turns hosting, and Mom liked it best when our Grammy had it..
It would take days to get ready..The house would be spotless and all the fun of shopping for just the right Turkey and fixings..
They had wonderful decorations of Pilgrims and Indians and faux fall leaves, that were placed on the piano and sideboard..Mom's favorite was a huge fold open Turkey that sat in the middle of the dining table until it was time to eat..
Soon, the relatives would arrive with side dishes of potato salad and pies and all the good things that make dinner special
There was always a lot of laughter and chatting and hugging ..
When it was time to eat, everyone would sit down and they would hold hands and say the blessing and give thanks for being together..
After dinner the table would be cleared and the food stored until it was time to snack later...
Most everyone would sit at the table and play cards and talk about how it was when they were growing up..Like the time Grammy and her sisters stole some of their Dads tobacco and tried to smoke, but set the outhouse on fire, and the time they were making up the roll away bed and closed one of their sisters up in it...
Mom used to love these stories, it was so much fun to hear that her Mom wasn't such a little angel...bol
Time passes and the only constant is change..
We are truly thankful for having our Mom and Dad to love us, a wonderful farm to live on ...and all our pals here on Dogster..
May you always have special memories and have a wonderful Thanksgiving
SO many pals stepped up for our pal Cheyenne, who is now safe at home.
Time to get those paws moving, this is a project with many purposes! The main goal is to get even more pups & people aware of BLUE's plight outside our immediate circles, it is also with hopefully the strength in numbers a way to show the ever watching dogster crew our efforts & determination (we have more reasons and ideas rolling that need dogster's support and partnership).
It involves diaries and a game of tag!
BUT it is unique!
What we need every pup to do is:
First write an entry in your diary titled "Feeling BLUE" (If you don't have a diary now is as good a reason to start if any!) Then write a message expressing how it feels to miss BLUE or friend or how you would feel if you were lost/separated from your family.
PLEASE include this information (ok to cut & paste) in your diary.
Blue, a black and white Siberian Husky (4 year old male, brown eyes, micro
chipped) has been missing since May 8, 2007 from Brighton, MI.
Dogster page: http://www.dogster.com/dogs/620507
Website : http://whereisblue.com
E-mail: email@example.com
Telephone: (313) 550-6095
Reward offered for his return, no questions asked.
Permission and gratitude for cross posting. Thank you!
Next pick 5 to 10 pals* ****important**** make sure they are unique as in pals of yours that might not run in the same social circles as we want the tag to reach out not move in circles amongst us or tag pals with many different pup pals and send pawmail or rosettes including a message..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~
If I where ever lost, or seperated from my family, I would feel completely lost... I wouldn't know what to do, or when to do it... Since my family is EVERYTHING to me... I am nothing without them, and I love them so, just they feel about me.
And I'm sure it's the same thing with sweet Blue. We aren't really his pup pals, but we will do anything to help him get back home. After all, who doesn't love a happy ending like Cheyenne's??? We would LOVE sooo much to see Blue back with his family!!!!
So please, PLEASE, everyone who happens to read this, PLEASE send this to as many people as you can!! For I am SURE Blue will be back safe and sound with his family soon!!!
Thank you!!
Mom says its hard to believe I am 6 years old already...It seems like yesterday when her friends, Shannon and Joe, brought me over to my new furever home
Thank you all for making this a very special day for me...
Chip is making a special dinner menu for me at Artistic Expressions
And they made a very special birthday background for me at AE too...Mom is overwhelmed and leaking...
Many, Many, Thanks to Sharna, Sassy, Edie grrl, Cherokee, Spuds, Jerry, Nikita Sophia, Darla Mae, River, Rochester, Nina, Mudder, Berry Bubba Gump...for the super birthday pretties...
Mom has to work late tonight, so we will celebrate properly tomorrow, cause she has the day off..She is going to make us a Liver Cake...mmm
Sis Sadies Birthday is Nov 4, and Coals was Nov 14...so we have a together birthday party...
Mom is going to take pictures, if we hold still long enough...bol...
Again...Thanks sooo much for a very Special Birthday...

SeaWolves Snap Five-Game Home Skid (6-19-13)
The Erie SeaWolves (37-32) used a key hit and strong pitching performance to gain a thrilling 2-1 win over the New Britain Rock Cats (33-37).
Erie starter Victor Larez tossedd one of his best outings this year. Through six innings, he allowed just three total hits and at one time retired 13 consecutive batters. His only mistake came in the seventh inning.
The Rock Cats broke the scoreless game when Miguel Sano hit his first AA homerun. The solo shot gave New Britain a brief 1-0 lead.
The SeaWolves answered in the bottom half of the seventh. James McCann reached base with a single, setting the stage for Tyler Collins. The lefty smashed his tenth homerun of the season into right field, giving Erie a 2-1 lead.
The SeaWolves bullpen held the lead. After Blaine Hardy surrendered a leadoff triple to Danny Santana in the ninth, Erie held its own and shut down the comeback attempt. Justin Souza earned his 14th save of the season in 0.2 innings of relief work, retiring both batters faced. He is now second in the Eastern League in saves.
New Britain starter Pat Dean (3-8) took the loss, going 6 .2 innings while giving up two runs on six hits, no walks, and three strikeouts. Matt Hauser allowed just two base runners in 1.1 innings of work.
The SeaWolves will close out the three-game home stand tomorrow afternoon at 12:05 pm. RHP Drew VerHagen (5-3, 2.81 ERA in Single-A Lakeland) will make his Double-A debut against RHP Logan Darnell (5-6, 2.87 ERA).

Networking is the practice of gathering contacts and building and maintaining informal relationships to enhance personal, academic, or business opportunities. These types of relationships need continuous attention to stay connected and beneficial. When you want things from your network contacts, always ask what you can do for them.
The hidden job market holds around 80% of positions that are open. You never hear about these positions because they are filled through networking. Let your network contacts know you are looking for a job as well as what you are interested in and qualified to do. They may not know of something right away, but you may be surprised when something comes up and they remember you!

The Chocolate Pirate Plot: A Chocoholic Mystery (edition 2010)
by JoAnna Carl
Work details
The Chocolate Pirate Plot by JoAnna Carl
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Chocolate is always good, but the plot was obvious! Nice, quick, EASY whodunit.
It's nice to rate a cozy mystery 3 stars. I've had slim pickings lately, plus I'm not a generous rater. Though the cozy mystery is my favorite genre, and though I do like to read them from cover to cover, they lack the brilliance of a real puzzler. Most of the struggle the amateur detective goes through is because he or in this case, she, is ahead of the police because of chance or due to being singled out for endangerment. All of that is true here.
Nevertheless, my favorite minor characters are back, though as usual they do not appear in the end. Well if they had I'd have given this book one more point. Brenda especially has ample time to shine. The nondescript Lindy and her family are not here to mar the fun. Hogan gets a taste of the action. He's okay in my book. It was thrilling when Lee suddenly announced that she'd solved everything. It was an intense moment in the book, and had the solution been brilliant then it would have bowled me over. The truth is that I had a stab at who the guilty were and my guesses were right. Both times. I even hazarded mentally that such and such person had invented a character for his purposes. So yeah, the epiphany of Lee was still welcome. It happens rarely in a mundane lifetime. It happened thrice to me in my life. The moment when a light bursts into your mind with the wattage of a supernova. Look at me, I'm waxing lyrical.
This has surely to do with my reluctance to leave this series. How come discworld contains 38 books and I have only 11 Joanna Carl books at my disposal. Joanna Carl is a pseudonym but whatever, she's the author, and she's old. At 77 years, I'm amazed at her creativity. I wish I hadn't run out of The Chocoholic series. This is Miss Marple all over again. I have to say that my favorite authors are all women. Men mostly seem to write science fiction and non fiction and nowadays zombie takes on the usual stories. Not a fan. Until next time.
It took four or five chapters before I actually got into this book. From the 'campy' pirates who boarded boats to dance a jig, to dead bodies, to a nerd named Byron, the book finally turned into a semi-page turner. The book includes lots of chocolate trivia but I wish the author would include some of the recipes for the yummy chocolate mentioned in the book. I do feel the author is running out of steam in this series. It seems she is searching for ideas. This book was enjoyable but I am not waiting for more with the anticipation I have in the past.

This Bookshelf Is Both A Standing And A Sitting Desk In One
Shelf of Tables is perfect for busy designers, wheelchair users, families, or co-working spaces.
Design graduate Matej Chabera had to make the most of the limited working space he had while attending the Royal College of Art, which is why he came up with the Shelf of Tables. The idea comprises three different desktops fitted inside an adjustable shelving unit, which makes it easy to move between different projects without taking up an excessive amount of space. It's could also be a great way to move between a standing and sitting desk without having to own both.
Made from solid ash, chosen for its strength and pleasurable texture, the desk system uses standard ball-bearing runners to pull the desks out, while an adjustable counter-weight makes sure the unit doesn't topple over. There are three different counterweight positions, each which offers a different setup. Apart from individuals with a lot of work, families, and co-working spaces, the Shelf of Tables is also well-suited to wheelchair users.
This particular fact was discovered while the designer was working with a 1:1 prototype, something he thinks more designers should try. "This is the benefit of working 1:1 and testing in real materials, you discover things and the objects talk back much more than a render or a scale model does," Chabera told Dezeen.
Above all else, the series of desks means that it's easy to move between different projects without having to pack anything anyway, or when a moment of inspiration strikes and you want to make some instant changes. "It is an essential advantage to be able to leave projects open and pick up where you left off. Putting things away into storage slows you down. Having the visual parallel of the desktop makes the change of focus much easier," said the designer.

Finding the artist in everybody
Barbara Lawlor, Gilpin County
Roy's Last Shot owner Roy Stewart's art is everywhere in his popular restaurant on the Peak to Peak Highway in mid Gilpin County. From the moment you enter the eclectic building, you are surrounded by one man's personal art gallery. Paintings and wood carvings, drawings and sculptures and—oh yeah, shot glasses, thousands of them from all over the world—pick up the light and reflect it back into the room, a prism of memories.
Roy just can't stop creating. His passion is such that he is also compelled to share art with his customers and last month he came up with an idea to find the artist in all those who have a desire to express themselves.
"This is gonna work out good," says Roy as he rubs his hands together, excited with the project. "You'll see. We'll have everybody's work hanging up there in that space I made for them. They will create the art and have a gallery waiting for them to sell it. Or they can take it home."
Six students sat at a table, bent over the slices of wood with the scentl of burning pine in the atmosphere. For $50, a student got the woodburning tools, the paint, and personal attention and instruction from Roy himself. Every Saturday at 2:30, a new class begins and each student, once they have their kit, can have as many wood slices as they can fill up.
Darlene Hemke of Coal Creek Canyon says this was her second class. "I have been coming here for years and I saw the art on the walls and thought that was so neat. Not that I am artistic, but I thought it would be fun." Darlene had the beginnings of a southwestern motif of a horizon broken up by cactus.
Doug Lupo, 53, says he's been drawing for a long time and thought he'd bring some pictures to show Roy, to share his art. He specializes in album covers, but he says that doesn't pay the bills. "Now that the kids are gone, I can get into art."
Another non-artistic artist, Lynell Aaron, said she gets a lot of joy out of working with the wood. "I took the drawing from working with a picture and then added my own color. Roy provides everything, including a shot glass to put the hot tips in. This is fun because you can't make a mistake. Roy assured us that was true."
Lynell's work is good, real good, good enough to hang as is and put it up for sale.
Roy's woodburning class will last through the winter and spring and up to summer. He said he's thinking of getting out a huge slab of wood and having his students create a mural for the Carousel of Happiness in Nederland. "I think about a 12-foot piece that everybody can work on."
Rossina Buggs of Sugarloaf said she came for lunch last week and was hooked. "I am not an artist. I got the design on the internet and will color it eventually. It's fun. It's a challenge, a certain degree of difficulty, but not so it's frustrating. It gets comfortable real quick."
Roy smiles at his students and looks forward to others arriving on Saturday afternoons and discovering that, in spite of all preconceptions of themselves, there is an artist in everyone.

WV Chemical Spill Declared Federal Disaster
CHARLESTON, W.Va. - Nine counties in West Virginia are under a State of Emergency after a chemical spill into the Elk River contaminated the drinking water for nearly 300,000 people.
Governor Earl Ray Tomblin issued a State of Emergency Thursday evening, which was followed by an emergency declaration from the White House.
The Governor said West Virginians in the affected areas are urged not to use tap water for drinking, cooking, washing or bathing.
This affects West Virginia American Water Co. customers in Boone, Cabell, Clay, Jackson, Kanawha, Lincoln, Logan, Putnam and Roane Counties.
According to officials, the chemical contaminating the water is not toxic but is harmful if swallowed.
The leak came from a 48,000 gallon tank at Freedom Industries, a chemical storage facility, but it's uncertain how much of the chemical leaked.

UPDATE 2-Infinera posts wider-than-expected Q1 loss
* Q1 loss/shr $0.26 vs est loss $0.21/shr
* GAAP revenue $66.6 mln vs est $67.3 mln
* Sees Q2 loss/shr $0.19-$0.23 vs est loss $0.14/shr
* Sees Q2 rev $70 mln vs est $77.0 mln (Adds outlook from conference call, details)
April 21 (Reuters) - Communications chipmaker Infinera Corp (INFN.O: Cotización) posted a wider-than-expected quarterly loss as revenue more than halved, mostly due to a delay in the recognition of revenue related to deployment of products and services, and forecast a weak second quarter.
"The combination of macroeconomic effects and timing associated with some large deployments put downward pressure on our revenue and gross margins for the first quarter," Chief Executive Jagdeep Singh said in a statement.
The company's second-quarter performance will be influenced by factors similar to those that occurred in the first quarter, Chief Financial Officer Duston Williams said on a conference call with analysts.
For the second quarter, the company expects to post a loss of 19 cents to 23 cents a share, compared with analysts' average estimate of 14 cents a share.
The company, which competes with Alcatel-Lucent ALUA.PA ALU.N, Ciena Corp CIEN.O and Cisco Systems Inc (CSCO.O: Cotización), expects second-quarter gross margins of 25 percent to 30 percent. Continuación...

It has been a few months since my last mini movie review blog. I have watched quite a few movies in that time, so it's about time I write another one of these. Without further ado, on to the reviews! These are in no particular order.
Goodfellas (1990)
Ever since I saw part of this on TV a couple years ago, I was interested. I finally got around to watching it, and boy am I glad that I did. This is a fantastic film! The acting is top notch, and the story is also pretty good. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys mobster movies.
Monsters University (2013)
I loved Monsters Inc.. This one is not quite as good as the original, but it still has that Pixar Charm. The story is nothing amazing, but it is cool to see Mike and Sully's backstory. If you were a fan of Monsters Inc., you will most likely enjoy this one.
Despicable Me 2 (2013)
I loved Despicable Me. It had good humor, along with charm. Despicable Me 2 follows suit. The story is not as good as the original, but the humor is on par. This mainly comes from the Minions. I find them to be hilarious. If you liked the first one, you will probably like this.
Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters (2013)
I was a big fan of the Percy Jackson books. Being a fan of the books, I really did not like the movie of The Lightning Thief. It was barely accurate to the book. I found The Sea of Monsters to be even worse. Almost nothing was accurate. I guess that is understandable when it says 'bases on the book', but even on it's own, I didn't find it good. The acting was bad, and the effects were okay.
The Wolverine (2013)
I liked X-Men Origins: Wolverine. I thought it was good, nothing amazing though. The Wolverine is a better movie. There are some pretty cool action scenes in this movie, the most standout being a fight on top of a Bullet Train. This is the Wolverine movie that we have been waiting for. I would recommend this to any fan of the character.
Resident Evil (2002)
I have heard that these movies are not very good, but I had to satisfy my curiosity. The first one is actually not terrible. It is probably the most solid out of all of them. It has some cool action and a decent story, but it could have been much better.
Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004)
From the trailer, I thought that this movie looked like it could be a really fun video game movie. Boy was I wrong. In my opinion, this was the worst of all of the Resident Evil movies. There was pretty much no story, and the action wasn't that great. Not to mention the acting was pretty bad. I would recommend to skip this one.
Resident Evil: Extinction (2007)
Again with this one, the trailer threw me off. I thought the setting, the Desert looked awesome. But then the way the story unfolded was bad. Not to mention, once the Zombie-control serum was injected, they all suddenly looked exactly the same. Though I do have to admit, the zombie crows were pretty awesome.
Resident Evil: Afterlife (2010)
This one, I found pretty entertaining. It was nothing amazing, but I found this one to be a really fun movie. The story isn't great, but it gives the necessary setup for some fun zombie-killing action.
Resident Evil: Retribution (2012)
This one was interesting. There were some cool action scenes, but other than that, there wasn't much that was special. It was cool putting Barry Burton, Ada Wong, and Leon Kennedy in the movie, but none of them felt like themselves. They could have been better if they had gotten some better actors. Overall, like the rest of the Resident Evil movies, this one was just mediocre.
Reservoir Dogs (1992)
I have been hearing about this one for years. Believe it or not, this is my first Tarantino movie. I really enjoyed it. It is a really good crime thriller. I don't really know how else to explain it. I just really enjoyed it.
Serenity (2005) I recently watched the full series of Firefly. Serenity continues (and concludes) the story from the TV show. It feels like a long episode of the show with better effects. I was a big fan of both the show and the movie.
Jackass Number Two (2006)
This is one of those movies that you just watch with a bunch of buds. It was dumb fun. It was pretty funny.
Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979)
This movie was bland. The most bland movie that I have ever seen. It would have been a lot better if they cut at least a half hour off of it. The story is bland and just not good.
Innerspace (1987)
I expected this movie to be terrible. It actually turned out to be decent. There are some pretty funny parts.
My Sister's Keeper (2009)
This movie is pretty good, but really depressing. You want to be depressed for awhile? Watch this. Despite that, it was a pretty good story.
Twister (1996)
This was actually a pretty good movie. A story following a storm chaser turns out to be a really good set up for a suspenseful movie. I am already frightened to death of Tornadoes. Needless to say, this movie didn't help that.
Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgendy (2004)
I finally saw this movie, and it was great. It is a really good Will Ferrel comedy. If you like Will Ferrel's comedy, I would recommend this to you.
Public Enemies (2009)
I hadn't heard much about this movie when I got it. All I knew was Johny Depp and Mobsters. I was happily surprised with this movie. It was a good mobster movie.
Kick-Ass 2
I was a big fan of the first Kick-Ass. It was a new take on the super-hero idea. It was foul mouthed, violent, and funny. With all of those things, it would have been easy to fail and end up with a garbage movie, but it succeeded. Kick-Ass 2 continues that. It was really good. The acting was good, though a couple parts didn't feel as tight. If you enjoyed the first one, this one is equally fun. I still can't decide if I like it more than the original, but it is at least just as good.
Thanks for reading!

Re: Why is it no longer possible to paste PP shapes as MS Drawing

Hi Bob
Thanks for your answer, that's also what I found in the mean time: But to
me, it is just scandalous, because this is a feature we used every day in
Office 2003 and before, worked well, and is no longer there in Office 2007...
And we just need it! Inserting a whole pptx file object is really not a
workaround... Why does Popowerpont send the shape as "graphic object", and
not "drawing object" in the clipboard??? PowerPoint can work with both

So once again, I'm very disappointed and quite angry... My 250 scientist
will refuse to work with Word 2007, just because of that...

I have a lot of PowerPoint 2007 slides, and I frequently need to copy some
graphics I did into Word 2007. I select the group of shapes or objects I need
to copy to Word and cpaste them on my Word 2007 Page. Unfortunately, the
object get pasted as "Microsoft Office Graphic Object" that have a very poor
quality and cannot longer be edited in Word as a native drowing object. Under
Paste Special, in the AS: box, the "Microsoft Office Drawing Object" format
is no longer available. This makes Copy and Paste from PowerPoint 2007 to
Word 2007 totaly useless if you need quality and "editability". The only way
is to paste the whole slide as "Microsoft Office PowerPoint Slide Object",
but this is a very bad workaround, because I ususally need just a part of the
slide. Under Office 2003, everything was working like a charm!
The craziest thing is that it works when pasting Word 2007 objects in
Powerpoint 2007!!! If you create a text box in Word 2007 and copy/paste it in
Powerpoint 2007, the obect remains a text box in Powerpoint! But in 99% of
the cases, you need that in the other direction: from PowerPoint to Word. Why
did Microsoft removed this essential interoperability feature???? Or am I

Vancouver hope to rebound from Koffie break
The case for Gershon Koffie as the glue that holds this Vancouver Whitecaps team together grows stronger each time he's out of the lineup.
On their current four-game slide, the Caps have been without the young Ghanaian midfielder three times.
Against Dallas a month ago, the 2-0 home loss that started this poor run of form, Koffie was serving a one-game suspension for yellow-card accumulation.
He also missed the 2-1 loss in Port-land because the MLS disciplinary committee banned him for one game for what it deemed a dangerous play in injury time against Seattle. And he missed the most recent 2-0 loss in L.A. with a groin pull.
Discipline might not be Koffie's strong suit, but he plays with an edge that does far more good than harm.
And it's not just Koffie's toughness and determination that Vancouver has missed.
In his second MLS season, the 21-year-old has emerged as a strong two-way presence. He's expanded his passing game, harnessed his wild shot, improved his decision-making and shown off his dribbling ability. He's scored twice.
Crucially, he's been their pivot between defending and attacking, and his absence has coincided with a complete lack of creativity.
More importantly, he's been back training fully this week and appears ready to start in Dallas on Saturday as the Caps try to extend their lead for the final play-off spot to seven points.
"Gersh is a big player for us," said assistant coach Carl Robinson, a longtime defensive midfielder.
"We're fortunate enough to work with him day-in and day-out and his attributes are fantastic.
"I think he's been sorely missed for us the last few games. The way he wins balls.
The way he distributes balls. He brings a calmness to our play, and for someone at such a young age, that's a great thing to have."

DOE Launches Energy Efficiency Ad Campaign
A national consumer education campaign to help consumers save money on utility bills was launched today by the U.S. Department of Energy and the Ad Council. Created pro bono by Texas-based advertising agency GSD&M, the public service advertisements direct homeowners to the Energy Savers website, where they can find tools and information to help them make their homes more efficient.
The website features such information as how to save more than $100 a year on heating and cooling bills by using a programmable thermostat and how uppgrading 15 of the traditional light bulbs in your home. It also features a section devoted to windows, doors and skylights.
"Americans spend about $2,000 per household on energy every year—but many of them could save a few hundred of that without changing their lifestyle," says Energy Secretary Steven Chu. "Many American families can take simple steps to reduce their energy bill, while making their homes more comfortable, and use that money for something they really need or want."
"We are thrilled to continue our partnership with DOE on this vital energy efficiency campaign," says Peggy Conlon, president and CEO of the Ad Council. "These PSAs will demonstrate to homeowners nationwide the variety of energy efficient alternatives that can provide sustainable savings over time."
Following the Ad Council's model, the announcements will be distributed to media outlets nationwide and will run and air in advertising time and space that is donated by the media. A sample of one of the ads appears follows:

Re: RegionPlot ignores the AxesLabel Option?

Yes. And this is normal, indeed, though not necessarily obvious at first
RegionPlot accepts the same options as Graphics, nevertheless it uses
frames around the plot and disables any axis. (You can see the options
and their settings by evaluating Options[RegionPlot], and see that Axes
-> False). The axes being turned off, the option AxisLabel is without
effect, regardless of its actual value.
So to see the labels, we should use FrameLabel as in the following example:
RegionPlot[y <= x^2, {x, -1, 1}, {y, 0, 1}, FrameLabel -> {"x", "y"}]
Best regards,

Creating Your Very Own Podcast
With the advent of the iPod and other portable MP3 players, listening to podcasts is an essential part of day to day life. Before I show you how to create your very own podcast, let's first define what a podcast is. The term "podcast" stands for iPod Broadcast. A podcast is an audio file created in the MP3 format that you can download and play on an MP3 player.
People have various reasons to create a podcast, such as if you're a speaker and want to sell a multi-part audio seminar or you're a book author and you want to interest people in buying your book by offering a few spoken pages each week to entice them or you're a teacher and you want to create a short lecture series and so on. Podcasting is not necessarily for making profit. Often times, it's just about self-expression, such as when you make your own music. In this article, I'll show you how to create your very own podcast. All you have to do is follow the next three steps!
To avoid problems while recording your podcast, you need to ensure the following:
Decide what you'll podcast about and name your series. For example, if you're podcasting to teach a course on motivation, "Motivation" can be your title and the podcast should contain short lectures on building motivation.
Write the script. Always write the audio script before you start recording your podcast. Otherwise, you may have to re-record many times or edit the MP3 file. Both of those tasks can be frustrating and time consuming.
Locate a zero noise recording room. While recording, the last thing you need is a good podcast with background noise coming from a crying child or an ambulance siren. Find a quiet place to do your recording.
Buy the right equipment. You'll need a microphone and a computer with a sound card in it. Most computers nowadays come standard with a sound card.
Recording the MP3 Audio File
MP3 is a fancy term for a type of audio file. Another famous type of an audio file is WAV. The Sound Recorder program that comes built in with Microsoft Windows allows you to record files in the WAV format. Since a podcast requires an MP3 audio file, you can't use it for creating a podcast. However, there are conversion software programs that enable you to convert WAV files to an MP3 format. For my example, I'm going to use a free software program called Switch.
You can download and install Switch right here. Here's how to use it:
1.) Connect your microphone to the sound card.
2.) Launch Switch.
3.) Click on the New File icon.
4.) Click OK.
5.) Click on the Record button. At this point, anything you say will be recorded.
6.) Click on the Record button in the Record Control window.
7.) Read from your script.
8.) Click on the Stop button after you've completed the recording. Then click on the Close button in the top right hand corner of the Record Control window.
9.) Click on the Save File icon.
10.) Write a name for the file and then select the MP3 file format.
11.) Click OK in the MP3 Encoder Settings window.
Voila! You've created your first MP3 audio file. After you've created your podcast, you now need to host it on a server so that people can download it onto their MP3 players.
Hosting the File
There are numerous service providers, such as LibSyn.com, who offer podcasting hosting on the Internet. LibSyn charges a nominal fee for the hosting service. After you've selected a service provider to host your podcast, all you need to do is advertise your creation and start planning to record the next episode of your podcast. To advertise, you should spread the word among your circle of friends. You should also list your podcast in a Podcast Directory. Some examples of Web sites that offer podcast listing services are www.allpodcasts.com and www.getapodcast.com.
After a few recordings, you'll realize that the technology aspect of podcasting is not the challenge. Once you get the hang of it, it's not that difficult. The challenge lies in thinking of creative and entertaining ways of engaging your audience. But it's all in fun, so go have a good time!

My friend Randy, born and bred in Green Bay, and now raising his own family up there, has written a song to cheer the Packers on in the Super Bowl. It's called Rock to the Big Game and it's a cute little ditty! He also created a Packers' fan video to go along with it. You can see the video here:
Besides being a great fan, Randy also has a heart of gold. If you visit the website for the song: www.rocktothebiggame.com, you can download the MP3 file for free. But while you're there, there's a link to Cerebral Palsy of Northeastern Wisconsin. Randy would like all of us to make a donation - for the Packers, for him, for anyone with CP. It's easy to do!
So now you can feel good about cheering on the Packers! GO PACK GO!

With a stout wind howling in from right field, Lee's Summit baseball coach Jim Mellody knew it wouldn't be a day to play Home Run Derby. Manufacturing runs would be the order of the day.
And not a lot of runs, either. So when the Tigers squeezed out seven runs to beat Kansas power Olathe South 7-2 on April 16 at Legacy Park, he was pleasantly surprised.
And relieved.
"I thought we would score four or five runs and that's how I was playing the game early," Mellody said. "When we broke it open late that came as a relief."
Mellody wanted to see the Tigers get on and move runners over with aggressive play on the bases, and that's just what they did. At first that didn't work so well; they left the bases loaded in the first inning and ran out of an opportunity for another run in the second.
"We've had a hard time about getting guys on and driving runners in," Mellody said. "I had a good feeling about today. They were hitting the ball hard and I knew they would find some holes."
Lee's Summit didn't have to get its offense going right away thanks to a sterling effort from pitcher Saul Nunez. The right-hander held Olathe South to three singles and three walks over six innings. The two runs he gave up were unearned, coming on a two-base throwing error in the third.
"Nunez looked awesome," Mellody said. "Best I've seen him all year. He wasn't going to start today, but I knew there would be a premium on keeping the baserunners down and he doesn't walk a lot of people."
Lee's Summit manufactured its first run in the second inning when Ryan Laddish led off with an infield single, went to second on Travis Simonin's bunt, reached third on a groundout and scored when Jake Singer slapped a bunt the Falcons' third baseman couldn't field.
After Olathe South took a 2-1 lead in the top of the third, the Tigers tied it in bottom half of the inning when Noah Arni hit a leadoff single, stole second and eventually scored on a wild pitch.
"We were just looking to get on base, get some runners and get them in," Lee's Summit junior Clint Jennings said. "And we came through."
Jennings came through with the biggest hit of the game, a two-run single in the fifth that broke the game open. The Tigers added three more with the help of another bunt single, an error and a sacrifice fly in the sixth.
"Clint Jenning's hit to go up 4-2 was a big cushion," Mellody said. "I really thought the game was over after that hit."
The victory over Olathe South, 8-3 and the Kansas Class 6A state runner-up last season, came a day after Lee's Summit lost a conference game at Raymore-Peculiar 5-1. Ray-Pec starter Ben Harris held the Tigers to one run and scattered seven hits.

Things can go bad...
1 Attachment(s)
I cruised my Rat Rod to the home of the Duke,Mr. John Wayne and the area where Clint Eastwood filmed his movie Bridges of Madison County. The small town of Winterset Iowa witch is nestled in the farming hills of Madison County.Winterset Puts on a great car show the second Sunday of October every year. I found an Tall boy T with out doors. The Owner said jokingly ,Someone blew my doors off. Found the car inter resting, so I sat down and drew the owner and his car, who resembled an Iowa farmer more then a rodder, the T was cool {see picture)..All the sudden sirens broke the sound of engines and people.The story was that a every day driver was heading north in the hilly country north of town when the driver bent to grab an CD that fell to the floor.This caused a real nice 50"s Internatioal pickup five years in the making to a totaled miss and sent the owner to the hospital. Two other street rods was in the mix but not totaled.
Sad story but cool drawing though. :thumbup:

When you can buy a Blu-ray player in your local supermarket for as little as £60, why pay £140 for one? Well, enthusiasts with expensive, demanding displays need a source that can deliver the cleanest, sharpest video signals – and most cheapo players simply don't cut the mustard. Pricier decks usually offer high-grade video components and rigid build quality, quelling the vibration and interference that can harm picture quality, while superior audio components bring about better music playback.
These are some of the reasons why you might consider buying the BD-S473, Yamaha's latest entry-level 3D Blu-ray deck. Sure, it lacks the cutting-edge features of mainstream rivals like Samsung, Sony and Panasonic, but with a £140 price tag you'd expect its build quality and performance to be a cut above the budget throngs – particularly from a company as well-versed in the electronic arts as Yamaha.
Yamaha BD-S473 Review - Design and Connections
If you covered up the logo on the front, you'd still know this was a Yamaha player. The all-black finish and clean, straight lines are a dead giveaway, likewise the round buttons and their recognisable symbols. It's a lovely looking and well-built player – slim and sleek, with a firm aluminium casing and chunky fascia that's slightly wider than the rest of its body.
On the front is a small but legible LED display panel, a USB port and a flap on the left-hand side that drops down when the disc tray opens. On the right side are three buttons: play, pause and stop. If you're pairing it with a Yamaha receiver they'll go together beautifully.
The rear panel is less populated than we expected for the money. It comprises just three sockets – a 3D-ready HDMI v1.4 out, Ethernet and a second USB port. Yamaha clearly presumes that most people have 3D-ready receivers by now and feels no need to add a second HDMI output, but the lack of analogue stereo, digital output or multichannel analogue outputs will deter those hoping to use the BD-S473 as their main music source.
'demanding displays need a source that can deliver the cleanest, sharpest video signals'
if it's connected via hdmi, surely it's just delivering a bitstream read off the disc? In which case, a cheap jobbie would be just as good?
I raise this point every single time TR talks about the sharpness and quality of one blu-ray player vs another, yet they (and many other reviewers) still peddle this snake oil every time. Unless you are doing some processing on the image (which I would argue should RARELY be needed on a decently mastered source and should NEVER happen anywhere other than the monitor), an expensive blu-ray deck and a cheap one read the same compressed bitstream from the disc, apply the same known decoding algorithm, and output an identical uncompressed digital signal to the TV. Unless you're using analogue connections, therefore (and why the heck would you?!), logically the only benefits of an expensive deck over a cheap one are in build quality, features, aesthetics, perhaps noise level, and brand snobbery.

John Deere takes safety seriously - for the sake of our employees, our dealers and customers, and those around them. We developed formal product safety processes in 1938 and continue to move the industry ahead with new product safety technology and training. We're also setting the standard for workplace safety and even encouraging employee health and wellness outside of the workplace.
Safety is everybody's responsibility. We're just making it easier for everyone to do their part.
A focus on product safety
Attention to detail. That's where product safety starts. Product safety committees and engineers work to create and improve our machines. But managing risk is a team effort. And if you're operating equipment, or are around it, you're part of that team.
Safety doesn't have to be complicated. Sometimes simple steps can make a big difference. Wear your seat belt, don't operate machinery when kids are nearby, and get to know your operator's manual.Learn more about how John Deere — with your help — keeps customers safe.
A focus on employee safety
He may be 33 years old, but when Jacob Cline, pictured at right, puts on John Deere's new aging-simulation suit, he's working as if he's 63. Cline is a product delivery process engineer and one of the first employees to try the new suit at John Deere Harvester Works in East Moline, Illinois.
Safety was top of mind when John Deere Des Moines Works constructed a new building on their site to manufacture self-propelled sprayers. In designing the new building, the company incorporated several safety concepts developed at the plant, originally built as a munitions factory in the early 1940s.

CANADA STOCKS-TSX drops as investors flee energy producers, miners
* TSX falls 141.09 points, or 1.01 percent, to 13,791.88 * Eight of the 10 main index sectors decline * RBC has biggest negative influence on market By John Tilak TORONTO, Jan 24 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index recorded its biggest single-day drop in more than six weeks on Friday as expectations that the U.S. Federal Reserve will scale back its stimulus program heightened and weighed heavily on emerging-market assets. The fears about the Fed, combined with soft economic data from China, pushed down the prices of some commodities, including oil and copper. In turn, the resource-sensitive Toronto Stock Exchange benchmark index fell for a second straight session and looked set to end the week lower. It also hit a one-week low. "It's clearly not positive for Canada because some emerging markets account for a lot of the commodity purchases," said Lorne Steinberg, president of Lorne Steinberg Wealth Management. "One senses the air coming out of the balloon as investors focus on risk," he added. "Sentiment can turn quickly, and that alone can have a self-fulfilling prophecy when it comes to markets." The benchmark S&P/TSX composite index was down 141.09 points, or 1.01 percent, at 13,791.88. Eight of the 10 main sectors on the index were in the red. Financials, the index's most heavily weighted sector, gave back 1.2 percent. Royal Bank of Canada shed 1.4 percent to C$70.41 and had the biggest negative influence on the market. Bank of Nova Scotia lost 1.1 percent to C$63.53. Shares of energy producers dropped 1.2 percent, with Suncor Energy Inc slipping 1.1 percent to C$37.38. The materials sector, which includes mining stocks, fell 1.2 percent. Potash Corp was down 2.5 percent at C$35.64, and Teck Resources Ltd stumbled 2.4 percent to C$26.49.
