Review of James Longenbach, The Art of the Poetic Line, and Donald Revell, The Art of Attention (Graywolf Press)
As James Longenbach points out in The Art of the Poetic Line, a volume in Graywolf's series of single-subject books by writers on writing, line is one of poetry's bedrock traits but also one of its most mysterious. With little familiarity, you can tell the pentameters of Stevens from those of Ashbery or Frost. Yet, outside strict formalism, rationales for lineal integrity—units of breath or concentration, stylized parceling, visual splay—are often more beautiful than true.
Even within traditional prosody, it's difficult to do more than observe case-by-case triumphs and trip-ups; Longenbach frequently qualifies his conclusions with reminders of this challenge. If you believe, as Longenbach does, that poetic effect comes primarily from forging and torquing patterns, creating topographies of tension and relief, then you need to consider how every line turns on each corner of Pound's trinity: sound, image, and rhetoric.
The Art of the Poetic Line is most interested in the third category, in the rhetorical rise and run on which readers bob and settle like the bubble in a carpenter's level. How does lineation administer a poem's intelligence? How does it give us the sensibility of a poem's sense?
Longenbach foregrounds this interest by revising our terms—lines do not break, they end. I love this; it posits lines not as frayed edges, blurring one to the next, but units that, in interaction with sentences, change "the way we hear the sentence's pattern of intonation and stress." Lines do to sentences what actors do to a script. Lineation, then, continually re-composes content that has been previously set down.
In his opening chapter, while considering lines long and short, formal and free, Longenbach illustrates these rhetorical effects in poems that use steady refrains with varied lineation. Here are three stanza endings from the gorgeously poignant Donald Justice poem "Nostalgia and Complaint of the Grandparents."
The dead
Don't get around much anymore.
The dead don't get
Around much anymore.
The dead don't get around
Much anymore.
Longenbach demonstrates how these line endings change because of rhyme. "The consistent pattern of the stanza," he writes, "works against the variable grain of the sentences" so one reads "as the lineation demands."
This claim sets up a frequent technique of Longenbach's book; he likes showing how alternate lineation changes poems, as Justice's refrain changes his. In the second chapter, Longenbach connects this idea to distinctions that could aid any writing desk or workshop room. Drawing on thoughts from John Hollander and J. V. Cunningham, he details how lines can parse and punctuate sense, emphasizing a poem's voice, message, and mind. He charts the interplay of these effects—how line endings rough up and soothe a poem's language and world. Because of it, I heard the included poems by Moore, Williams, and others with crisp, directed interest.
At times, the book has an opening-week-of-classes air that caused me to find more pleasure in the quoted poems than in Longenbach's analysis of them. Perhaps this is as it should be, a critic's line of sight not obscuring his subject's line of flight; this book shows tremendous flights from Louise Glück, Frank Bidart, Richard Howard, and others, including entries from Yeats' journals that led to poems.
Still, Longenbach's focus can turn from line to poetic effect much more generally, especially in the final chapter. There, rather than apply his schema of endings to the cadences and consciousness of prose poetry, he quickly suggests that in prose poems "the absence of line would not be interesting if we did not feel the possibility of its presence," as though that's the main effect. His consideration of mixed form work by Ashbery and Williams may too easily equate lines with rupture and prose with continuity, making me wish he had included more ideas from his intriguing list of further reading.
Donald Revell's The Art of Attention, in contrast, is less guided tour than city-in-itself. His critical method is blitz and Berlitz, going headlong through his subject, rather than stepping back to look at it. Once Revell places us in the lively intimacy of his thought, we see that the line of sight is itself a kind of transport. With an interest in light that recalls St. Bonaventure, he focuses on the spirit of perceptive formation that turns sight into vision, verse into Poetry.
His thesis (or better to call it a reverie?), amid many beautiful sentences, is that "it is simply natural that plain attention is a piety and that the unaggressive articulation of attention in poems may be a form of prayer." This sort of attention, in which the poet accepts the limitations of his personal self in order to receive the world without limits, leads to rapture—humble, reverent, and accepting of the blissful thick of things.
Throughout, Revell's personal approach is closer to epistle than to diary. In one of the book's most autobiographical sections, he shows how his development as a poet has consisted of improving his attentiveness, largely through replacing a fretful, received authorial stance with "an authority uninsistent and incandescent, an authority unlikely to be deserted by its circus animals because it never once imagines itself nor wishes to be confined to little rings inside a tent or ever to hold the bullwhip of a ringmaster in his fancy dress."
This process involves moving through "the oldest pun of all, at least among poets" from "I" to "eye." The book shows how other poets have done this, drawing on Herbert, Levertov, Ronald Johnson, the Bible, Apollinaire, and others. It shows how translation, "a behavior not a knack," helps, as a sort of "wake-up call." It gives readers and writers new heroes: not crafty Odysseus, but reverent Aeneas; not Orpheus with his melodrama, but "spontaneous, gratuitous affirmation" as Pound gives upon seeing a "child / walk in peace in her basilica, / The light there almost solid."
Like Keats or Frost in their letters, Revell follows his fascination so thoroughly that it becomes technically useful for others. In claiming that his "poetic is neither craft nor method" but his "way of being in the world," he does not evade practical questions of technique but sets up his intensely felt investigation of them. Here, as in friendship, intimacy makes ideas that could feel fragile, strong.
Particularly toward the end, these ideas include strains of Emersonian mysticism that are intriguing but, compared with much of the book, closer to a lyric mode than to an expository one. If we want clear engagement with the world, how does calling nature blissful differ from calling it cruel? Is the "imperative" of spiritual salvation through poetry at odds with creating the kind of organized language, meaningful to others, that Longenbach focuses on?
Emphatic with abracadabras, however, Revell's book suggests that these ends are compatible. In order for poetry to be Poetry, it must follow the revolutions of the spirit attentively enough, with the honesty of simple, receptive sight. If it does that, the words will be in line with higher symmetries, an attitude that, like much in the book, recalls Blake.
At least, that take is a partial extraction from Revell's rich and wide-ranging volume. His book presents a rare sort of writing about writing, in which the needs of inspiration and intelligence merge. After all, in addition to its content, all criticism gives us an orientation toward the world, as doctoral students reading theory or writers inspired by handbooks know. Typically, this orientation happens through a lens, like the useful ones Longenbach offers. For Revell, it occurs through the eye itself.

Cinnarizine belongs to Category Pregnancy C. Thus, those who are pregnant or planning to get pregnant cannot take the medicine, unless advised by the doctor.
Nursing mothers should not take Cinnarizine.
Do not drive or operate machinery when taking Cinnarizine as it may lead to dizziness and drowsiness.
If you have missed your dose, take the dose as soon as you remember it. If it is time for the next dose, skip the one missed. Never double dose on Cinnarizine.
If you take more Cinnarizine, then call your doctor or local emergency department. An overdose can cause vomiting, drowsiness, tremor, hypotonia, and even coma in extreme cases.
Do not take the drug if you are using antidepressants, medications for insomnia or anxiety. Tell your doctor about all the medications or drug supplements you are using before taking the drug.
The dose for Ménière's disease in adults and children over 12 years of age is 2 to 3 tablets a day. Children 5 years up to 12 years can take one tablet, 3 times a day.
Adults and children over 12 years of age with travel sickness can take 2 tablets 2 hours before traveling and then 1 tablet every 8 hours during the journey, or as advised by the doctor. Children aged 5 years up to 12 years can take 1 tablet 2 hours before they travel and half a tablet every 8 hours during the journey, if necessary.
Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in the original packaging. Keep out of reach and sight of children. Never take a drug that has passed its expiry date.

Seeding Sponge filter
so i got some ATI sponge filter coming in the mail on monday and want to start using it right away..
It will be used in a 20gallon long..
right now I have a canister running on it and the tank is well mature...with mosses and shrimps..
the question is, do i need to run both at the same time to seed the sponge?
I plan on selling the canister once I start using the spong..also does it matter where the sponge is place? I like it in the middle of the tank but can i put it in the corner of the tank? I order two but plan to use only one....
Don't ask me why I don't just keep the canister.....( I just don't feel it's worth it) plus I want to grow some floating plants to absorb nitrate....I can't grow floating plant with canisters at all..lol
Why can't you grow floating plants with the canister?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
but in my sponge filter with llow low current, flourishing!!
Floaters often don't like moving water. Go figure.
If you have a high nitrate level then the plants are not enough to keep the ammonia under control, so getting more plants (especially plants with the aerial advantage) is a good idea.
Good to be concerned about the nitrogen cycle bacteria.
By running both filters at the same time, or at least keeping all the media in the tank the bacteria will spread out its population over all the media. Then you can slowly remove the media that will be sold with the can and the remaining media will grow more of the bacteria. Over a period of not less than a month you can get a pretty good population on the new media, and have the can decommissioned for sale.
Another way (faster). Buy a bottle of cycle bacteria that includes Nitrospira species of bacteria. Dose the new filter with this and just do the swap. Remove the can. Give the filter media a quick rinse in water removed from the tank, but keep it in a humid location to keep the bacteria alive. Monitor the tank, and within 24-48 hours if there is more than just a little trace of ammonia then the Nitrospira might be dead. FAST! Put the can back on the tank. If there is just a little ammonia and it goes away then the Nitrospira have taken over and you can go ahead and fully wash out the canister filter media.
I just really like floater to absorb some nitrate... i have a 10g wtih duckweed and water lettuce and that tank is 100% 0 nitrate! Brigth yellow on the scale! NO water change...i did this 3 weeks back foll0wing a old thread about "no water change"
while the rest are 10-20 ppm.
I can let the sponge run in the tank for 1-3 weeks ...that should give it enough time to seed.
1 Attachment(s)
I would just let them both run for 2 weeks and pull out the other one. Have you tried to make a water boom to stop the surface flow. I'm sure someone can recommend something to use for that.

PE lessons at school down to one a week
A number of primary school children are missing one of their two weekly physical education lessons after six visiting teachers dropped out unexpectedly.
The Education Ministry confirmed that some primary state school children were getting only one of their two weekly lessons, after six peripatetic PE teachers changed jobs or took long leave.
Meanwhile, the Directorate for Educational Services has conducted two sets of interviews with prospective teachers, and is going through the selection process.
"It is unfortunate that members of the teaching staff decide to move out of their jobs shortly after the beginning of the scholastic year without prior notice as this invariably plays havoc with timetables and staff placements decided upon before the students start school," a spokesman said.
While one of these two weekly PE lessons is the responsibility of the class teacher – and there is currently no shortage of primary class teachers – peripatetic PE teachers are responsible for the other lesson.
The spokesman added that the affected schools form part of St Nicholas and St Theresa College, but parents of St Anne primary school, Marsascala, which forms part of the St Thomas Moore College cluster have also noticed that their children where only having one weekly PE lesson.
This drop in PE lessons came at a time when awareness campaigns are focusing on the importance of leading a healthy and active lifestyle from an early life.
When contacted, the Health Ministry reiterated that the teachers' resignations led to a decrease of PE lessons in some schools, but this was something "no ministry can control".
The Health Ministry was asked what it was doing to ensure children got their allocated exercise.
A spokesman said the Government has been underlining the importance of an active lifestyle and daily exercise throughout its legislature and invested in policies like the National Obesity strategy.
"Physical exercise is central to all of this. In fact, access to places like the free open-air gyms, such as the ones in Żabbar, Mellieħa and Ta' Qali, and a considerable increase in open air spaces, such as the parks at Xrobb l-Għaġin, Salini, and the Ta' Qali extension are all realities forming part of this holistic approach."

Detailed Description:
Certain conditions or diagnoses identified soon after birth are known to put infants at risk for having problems with their motor (movement) development as they get older. Infants with these diagnoses are at risk for additional developmental problems due to their inability to move their bodies to explore, learn, and play. This study tests how a device that assists movement can help exploration, learning, and play in children. The information gathered in this study will help us better understand how early learning happens and how we can help individuals become better movers, learners, and problem-solvers so they can increase their participation in everyday play activities.

Gamestick – A hands on review
My kickstarter backed Gamestick finally came in the mail today after forgetting about it for the last year or so, which was a nice little surprise for this afternoon. Lets check it out. The packaging was actually a little bit nicer than I expected – it came in a nice matte box which opens to present the controller right away (look like they took a cue from how apple does things), with all the extras tucked away underneath. The controller itself is presented in a plastic enclosure with the Gamestick logo nicely embossed on the top. The cables feel like they are decent enough quality, and the carry the brand across each one. The 'console' itself is super tiny, with LEDs that shine from the inside when it's plugged in. The controller itself feels a bit cheap (honestly to be expected). The analog sticks move nice and smooth, but the feel of the d-pad leaves something to be desired. One thing to note, is that this thing is big. It feels more like a homage to a retro controller than trying to be something modern. Nothing too interesting on the back, minus the switch that releases the HDMI unit, and a couple reset and pairing switches. Buttonwise, everything feels where it should be, but the size of the controller really doesn't feel comfortable in my hands. I plugged the controller in to charge, and was surprised to see that the cable is actually on the bottom of the unit. As I was messing around with the setup process, the short cable was actually pulling on the controller, tugging away on the bottom of it.. This is a pretty big design flaw, and is the first controller I've seen with this design (for a good reason). The setup was relatively painless, but for some reason they decided to switch the confirmation buttons from A to X depending on what screen you're on. It killed what should have been a pretty seamless flow.
After I selected the language, and set up the wifi connection it then proceeded to download the software update. Once it finished, I was a little surprised to have to go back, and select the language and set up the wifi for a second time.
Oh well, lets try some games. I was surprised to see a lack of free games on the store itself, so I dropped a couple bucks on some random ones that looked interesting. One thing to note is that the OS itself looks great. It's very minimal, and resembles the tiled look of the Xbox.
First up was Slingshot Racing, which was super fun overall, but being a 1 button game, didn't really utilize the multitudes of button on the controller that I expected. This is where things started to get really frustrating. I picked up Shadow Gun because it was free, and I wanted to see what a shooter was like. Once the game booted up, I was presented with the main menu, but none of the buttons on the controller would work expect for the d-pad and the analog sticks, which meant I couldn't really do anything. Next up I grabbed Beast Boxing for a couple bucks, and ran into the same issue as the last game. It loads in fine, but it refuses to let me do anything on the main menu. Maybe something happened with the pairing of the controller? After pairing it again, nothing was fixed, and I was unable to get past the main menus. When in doubt, reset! After doing that, I'm staring at the loading screen where it's constantly cycling through "Searching for new gamepads", lovely. Lets do a hard reset and pull the HDMI connection out of the TV, maybe a fresh restart will get things going again. Sure enough, it booted right back into the game, where I couldn't get past the main menu yet again. At this point, I've lost all patience to continue any further. The controller itself seems fine as the buttons work in one game and the OS, so I'm assuming it's a software issue. I've had some really bad luck with the quality of kickstarter projects in general, and this is yet another to add to the list. I would not recommend purchasing one of these at least until they have the kinks worked out.

ST. PETERSBURG — Shorecrest normally doesn't have trouble generating offense.
But through the first 60 minutes of Thursday's Class 2A, District 10 semifinal, Out-of-Door goalkeeper Sammi Jo Gaeta stymied the Chargers. Shorecrest broke through late in the second half to hold on for a 2-1 victory.
"(Gaeta) did a good job of cutting off crosses and securing the ball," Chargers coach Neal Wolfrath said. "She kept them in the game."
ODA scored first in the 20th minute. Rachel Cannon fired a shot that was saved by Shorecrest keeper Taylor Wolf. But Cannon and Wolf collided, and Alyssa Mason put away the rebound.
The Chargers continued to pepper the goal but were unable to penetrate the Thunder defense.
"They took the lead and went into a shell," Wolfrath said. "They always had four or five people in the back."
Shorecrest got the equalizer in the 65th minute. Jenn Casey took the ball down the right sideline and delivered a perfect cross that Skyler Ellenburg got past the goalie.
"We changed where (Casey) was playing and found some spots," Wolfrath said. "We went to a 3-4-3 and she was playing the right wing."
The Chargers got the winning goal four minutes later after Casey was taken down in the penalty box. Serena Hutchinson scored on the penalty kick.
"We knew if we kept dictating the tempo that the goals would come," Wolfrath said. "We were confident in our game plan but had to capitalize on the chances."
In the other semifinal, St. Stephen's defeated Cambridge 4-0.

Iomega microdrive or I.B.M. microdrives
Thanks for the post, great prices! I have been fretting over buying another 1G before my up coming trip. I found someone who could loan me a laptop but I am already caring too much, I would much rather just have a another tiny drive. Those prices are great, and even better is the fact that they sell the drive without the travel pack which I dont need since I already have one.

Girls in my year may think its a nice look, but I want to be that bit bigger just to feel comfortable in my own state of mind and increase my strength...
I have a few questions though, sorry if there unbelievably stupid
Are there some snacks you could recommend?
The tuna and pasta Is the pasta better with tomato sauce, cheese, or just plain and tuna???
Are certain types of fish better then others? What are some good ones? Are any bad for you (probably not, just making sure lol)??
When im about to do a workout what should I eat prior to it and what should I eat after (carbs, proteins etc)
Are protein shakes really all that? Could they count as one of the six meals you mentioned?
Sorry for sooo many questions just preparing myself
Any other input would be greatly appreciated, thank you all
Yea don't worry about it kid, that big monster you see in the corner of the gym lifting 200kilo was once in the same position as you.... Knowledge is Strength.
Snacks i'd recommend checking this
Glycemic Index & A List Of Common Foods
They have this G.I index, with a low G.I index being better.
Start ny picking something with low GI to go along with the meal... remember smaller portions at more intervals throughout the day... not big portions three times a day.
And me personally i can eat tuna on its own straight from the tin as a quick meal, however buy some hellmans mayonnaise, and mix this with your tuna/pasta... there you have carbs (pasta) tuna (protein) and mayo (fat)... this gains size like theres no tommorow.
Theres bad in everything... but overall most fish to my knowledge is ok to eat, however scientists have found high levels of mercury in fish such as salmon... but i wouldnt worry to much.
Avoid fish thats battered, this is shit.
tuna is dirt cheap as is tins of salmon, tesco etc do buy one get one free on tins of tuna
For working out hmmm well its about you as an individual, and we are different people, however myself i prefer to eat a few bananas before (30min) a workout.
Fruit is very important, use it to your advantage..
When you wanna snack of chocolate/crisps whatever, grab a banana/apple something instead.
After your workout well a tuna/pasta/mayo dish again crops up, perfect.. or maybe some grilled chicken with a jacket potato/salad.
jacket potatoes are quick and you can add some fillings quick (maybe tuna/mayo)...
Yes i would recommend protein shakes, but the prices some of these companies charge are ridiculous... you could venture out and make your own shake recipes (bodybuilding dungeon) if you wanted to...
If you have some money lying around, i'd recommend Maximuscle Cyclone for building size & strength.
Maximuscle Cyclone | An 'all in one' supplement for better health and fitness
its expensive shit though, so try one tub, if your happy, order more (the more tubs you order the cheaper it goes).
And i'd recommend a shake like less than 5min after a workout.
If your eating a meal with not alot of protein/carbs then grab a shake and drink it alongside your meal... and no i wouldnt recommend just drinking a shake as a meal replacement.

Ok... I just (10 minutes ago) had to run to Fedex which is about 3 blocks away from my office.
On the way back, I'm approaching lights in the right-hand of the center two lanes which are intended for motorists going straight. In my rearview I see a BMW SUV coming up fast in the right most lane, which is a turn lane to get onto I-25. I just get the 'feeling' it's going to cut in front of me, so I mash the gas and drop the BMW. However, the light turns red ahead of me so I drop the anchor hard. By this point the BMW has pulled into the lane behind me (my suspicions confirmed). It is a 'female' driving and she nearly rearends me. As we come to a halt, she swings alongside me into the lefthand of the center lanes.
Well, guess what she does next... The light goes green, and she floors it and pulls hard (HARD) across into my lane chopping my nose Schumacher-style. I literally had to stand on the brakes to avoid collision. This REALLY pissed me off because a) I didn't bother launching so she got a good jump on me, and b) She was a b*tch.
Anyway, I'm sorry to say I returned the favor by accelerating hard around her and cutting her off a block later. I gave the bird for good measure. My only regret is that I'm sure I didn't terrify her as she did me, since if I had done as she did my car would have been totalled by a 5000lb road-going yacht.
I hate overpriced, oversized road-only SUVs, especially when driven (in the loosest possible interpretation) by people like that.

Volvo Makes Night Driving Safer With Automated High Beams
The brand's new feature will allow for continuous use without 'blinding' other drivers.
Tell us if this sounds familiar.
You're driving along at night, notice another vehicle approaching you, and switch your high beams off so as not to impair the other driver's vision. You then switch them back on after passing and notice debris, and animal, or even a person on the side of the road, and have to quickly swerve to avoid collision. You couldn't properly see the shoulder without your high beams.
Or, there's a car coming towards you, or driving behind you, who has neglected to turn off their own high beams and you find yourself struggling to see through the blinding light.
Both instances can be extremely dangerous, but how can these nighttime 'operator errors' be fixed? Leave it up to arguably the world's safest car company to figure it out.
Volvo is introducing its new Active High Beam Control system at this month's Geneva Motor Show in an attempt to make driving in the dark safer and easier. Set to be available on the new Volvo S60, V60, and XC60, the Active High Beam Control system 'makes it possible to use high beam continuously,' while helping users avoid blinding fellow drivers with light.
By utilizing the car's existing rear-view camera, which currently operates the Volvo detection and auto brake systems, the Active High Beam Control system is able to monitor for other vehicles. The control unit can then send the information to a mechanical cylinder in the headlight, which uses different sized metal pieces to shade only the necessary portions of the beam. The system, which is accurate enough to shield selected areas within a 1.5-degree margin, can then maintain high beam use to help the driver navigate.
The feature also works for motorcycles, and slow moving vehicles.
Lotta Jakobsson, Senior Technical Specialist Safety at Volvo Cars Safety Centre, says:
Our aim with the renewed Active High Beam Control technology is to enhance visibility in the dark by making it possible to use high beam permanently, without having to switch to low beam when meeting or catching up with other cars…The technology makes driving at night more comfortable and safe. It also makes it easier to focus on the driving.
Continuous high beam use has the incomparable advantage of improving a driver's chances of detecting objects on the roadside, making for safer driving conditions and fewer accidents.
The Geneva Motor Show is running from March 5-17. Volvo is also set to unveil a new collision-avoiding technology at the auto show, furthering their reputation for safety.
Check out the video below to see the system in action:

Operator: Good day, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the Q4 2012 TransDigm Incorporated Earnings Conference Call. My name is Charlene, and I will be your operator for today. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. We will conduct a question-and-answer session towards the end of the conference. As a reminder, this call is being recorded for replay purposes.
I would like to turn the call over to Liza Sabol. Please proceed.
Liza Sabol - IR: Thank you. I would like to thank all of you that have called in today, and welcome you to TransDigm's fiscal 2012 fourth quarter earnings conference call. With me on the call this morning are TransDigm's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Nick Howley; President and Chief Operating Officer, Ray Laubenthal; and our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Greg Rufus.
A replay of today's broadcast will be available for the next two weeks. Replay information is contained in this morning's press release on our website at transdigm.com. It should be also noted that our Form 10-K will be filed tomorrow and also will be found on our website.
Before we begin, the Company would like to remind you that statements made during this call, which are not historical in facts, are forward-looking statements. For further information about important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements, please refer to the Company's latest filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These filings are available through the Investors section of our website or through the Securities and Exchange Commission's website at SEC.gov.
The Company would also like to advise you that during the course of the call we will be referring to EBITDA, specifically EBITDA as Defined, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share, all of which are non-GAAP financial measures. Please see the tables and related footnotes in the earnings release for a presentation of the most directly comparable GAAP measures and a reconciliation of EBITDA and EBITDA as defined, adjusted net income, and adjusted earnings per share to those measures.
With that, let me now turn the call over to Nick.
W. Nicholas Howley - CEO and Chairman: Good morning and thanks again to everyone for calling in to hear about our company. Today I'll start off with comments as always about our consistent strategy, then an overview of a busy fiscal year 2012, financial performance and market summary for 2012 and then our initial guidance and then Ray and Greg will speak a little; fair amount to cover here today.
To restate, we believe our business model is unique in the industry, both in its consistency and its ability to sustain and create intrinsic shareholder value through all phases of the cycle. To summarize some of the reasons why we believe this and I believe these are shown on Page 4 of the slides.
About 90% of our sales were generated by proprietary products and around three quarters of our sales come from products which we believe we are the sole source provider. Excluding a small ground transportation business, about 57% of our revenues and a much higher percent of our EBITDA comes from aftermarket sales. Aftermarket revenues over a cycles have historically produced a higher gross margin and have been more stable than OEM sales. Because of our uniquely high EBITDA margins, typically in the 48% to 50% of revenue and relatively low capital expenditures typically 2% or less than revenue, TransDigm year-in and year-out generated strong free cash flow.

The institutionalisation of a business performance management system in the Australian public sector
James, Wendy (2006) The institutionalisation of a business performance management system in the Australian public sector. [Working Paper] (Unpublished)
|PDF (130kB)
This research explores the institutionalisation of a new performance management system, namely the Balanced Scorecard in a Government owned corporation in Australia. A single exploratory/descriptive case study with embedded multiple unit analysis was used in order to examine the adoption of a balanced scorecard as an example of the process of evolution of a new initiative. It uses the concept of isomorphism to explain the initial adoption of the Balanced Scorecard. Further, it highlights the importance of the deliberation of both rational analytical approaches and legitimacy as a fundamental accompaniment to isomorphism in the continuing development of the new performance management system.

Michael Douglas's son sentenced to 5 years
NEW YORK (Reuters) - The son of Oscar-winning actor Michael Douglas was sentenced on Tuesday to five years in prison for possessing heroin and dealing large amounts of methamphetamine and cocaine out of a New York hotel room.
Cameron Douglas, 31, pleaded guilty to the charges in January, following his arrest last year at the trendy Gansevoort Hotel in Manhattan.
In court, Douglas apologized to his family for "this nightmare of my own making" and admitted to a long heroin addiction.
"I believe, your Honor, that things will be difficult this time," Douglas told U.S. District Judge Richard Berman.
His father, Michael Douglas, wrote a letter to the judge asking for leniency. He said Cameron had battled with drugs since age 13.
"I have some idea of the pressure of finding your own identity with a famous father," said Douglas, whose own father is actor Kirk Douglas. "I'm not sure I can comprehend it with two generations to deal with."
In a separate letter, Michael Douglas' wife, actress Catherine Zeta-Jones, also wrote words of support.
"Never, in my experience over the years, has Cameron shown any signs of the disease, that has tormented him, toward his siblings, or has (he) ever been abusive to us as a family at any time," she wrote. "My stepson is a caring, considerate, worthy human being."
Michael Douglas attended Tuesday's hearing, although Zeta-Jones did not. Continued...

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. -- Tianna Madison automatically qualified for the NCAA Championships in the long jump, the distance medley and 4x400-meter relays won in impressive fashion, and sprinter Cleo Tyson brought down a pair of freshman records Saturday to pace the third-ranked University of Tennessee women's track & field team at the Powered by Tyson Invitational.
Madison, a sophomore from Elyria, Ohio, took a huge leap forward in the long jump, seizing a resounding victory at the Randal Tyson Track Center with the number-two jump in the world this year. Her mark of 21-11.50/6.69m, ranks second on the planet to only the 22-5.25/6.84m effort registered by Swedish Olympic gold medallist heptathlete Carolina Kluft on Feb. 3.
Madison's measurement, which easily surpassed the NCAA automatic qualifying standard of 21-0/6.40m, moves her back atop the NCAA qualifying list and guarantees her a spot at the NCAA Championships in Fayetteville on March 11-12. The distance also rates as the second-best ever charted indoors by a Lady Vol, ranking behind only the school-record jump of Dedra Davis (22-0.25/6.71m) at the 1994 NCAA Indoor Championships.
The DMR and 4x4 also made moves to secure NCAA berths. The 4x4 closed out the meet with a sensational run of 3:33.82 to claim top honors in a
pace that was just off the automatic standard of 3:33.50. The quartet of freshman LaTonya Loche (Bastrop, La.), freshman Courtney Champion
(Lawrenceville, Ga.), senior Nicole Cook (Petersburg, Va.) and junior Patricia Hall (St. Ann, Jamaica) reeled off the third best time in the nation and the
number-three reading in Lady Vol history.
The victorious DMR combination of junior Brooke Novak (Kaukauna, Wis.), Loche, Cook and sophomore Felicia Guliford (Gallup, N.M.), meanwhile, put together UT's best product of 2005 and its fourth-best in school annals. The first-time quartet hit the tape 34 seconds ahead of runner-up SMU with an NCAA provisional of 11:17.28 that moved the Big Orange to number seven on the national list. UT hopes to defend its 2004 national title in the DMR at the upcoming NCAA meet.
In the 60-meter dash finals, Tyson came on strong over the final 20 meters against an NCAA-caliber field to place third in a career-best and NCAA provisional readout of 7.33. With that gem, the freshman from Huntsville, Texas, became the number-three-ranked short sprinter on UT's all-time performers list and plated a Lady Vol rookie record in the process. Following Tyson across the line in provisional fashion were Madison in fourth at 7.35 and senior Toyin Olupona (Orillia, Ontario, Canada) in fifth at 7.39. Champion was seventh in 7.41.
The Lady Vol sprint corps also looked sharp in the 200 meters, collecting NCAA provisionals from all four entrants and boasting the second UT freshman record of the evening from Tyson. The speedy Texan rolled to a career-topping readout of 23.68 to place fifth and move to eighth on the NCAA list, topping Dee Dee Trotter's UT freshman-best of 23.78 at the 2002 SEC meet. Tyson was followed by Olupona in eighth place at 23.77, Loche in ninth at 23.80 and Champion in 11th at 23.85. All the marks except for Champion's were career bests, and the young Georgian's was her fastest as a Lady Vol.
Junior Jessica Reust (Knoxville, Tenn.) got back on track in the championship division of the pole vault, registering a career best and just missing the school record and an NCAA provisional on her final attempt. The 2004 SEC Outdoor champion cleared 12-8.75/3.88m to tie for eighth this evening and would have raised the UT indoor record to 13-2.50/4.03m if she hadn't barely brushed the bar on her third try at that height.
In the unseeded section of the triple jump, junior Edra Finley (Mobile, Ala.) demonstrated phenomenal improvement, unleashing a career-best leap of 41-1.50/12.53m to place third in her finest performance as a Lady Vol. Entering the evening with a prior PR of 38-9.50/11.82m from last year's SEC Indoor Championships, Finley uncorked a jump Saturday night that moved her from number eight to number two on UT's all-time indoor performers chart in that event and ranks her second on the 2005 SEC performers list. Finley also matched her career best in the long jump Saturday, stretching the tape to 18-10/5.74m and placing fourth in the unseeded section.
In the championship division of the 5000 meters, junior Katie Flaute (Dayton, Ohio) lowered her PR by 10 seconds to 17:03.23 en route to a ninth-place result. In the 800 meters, meanwhile, it was sophomore Leslie Treherne (Chesapeake, Va.), sophomore Mindy Sullivan (Lubbock, Texas) and senior Antoinette Gorham (Glenarden, Md.) crossing the line third, eighth and ninth, respectively, in 2:10.69, 2:13.49, and 2:13.83. Treherne's mark was her season best by two seconds.
In action within unseeded sections, senior Jessica Andrews (Knoxville, Tenn.) soared to a personal-best 12-2.75/3.73m to notch a tie for sixth in the pole vault, while Hall continued her improvement in the 400 meters, grabbing ninth with a season-best time of 54.83. Senior Elizabeth McCalley (Knoxville, Tenn.) was ninth in the championship division of the mile at 5:00.10.
In the throws, junior April Thomas (Albany, Ga.) snared eighth in the shot put at 49-3.75/15.03m while taking 18th in the weight throw with a heave of 55-5/16.89m. Freshman Shanna Dickenson (Cincinnati, Ohio) was 21st in the weight throw at 51-9.75/15.79m but was unable to land a fair mark in the shot put.
At the beginning of the day, in the unseeded section of the 3000 meters, McCalley covered the distance in 9:54.35 to place sixth, sophomore Carly Matthews (Winston-Salem, N.C.) finished ninth in 10:04.50 and sophomore Megan Cauble (Knoxville, Tenn.) was 11th in 10:10.71.
Former Lady Vol All-American and current UT graduate assistant Sharon Dickie snagged second in the championship division of the 3000 meters, finishing in 9:18.93 on the heels of former East Tennessee State standout Catherine Berry (9:18.32).
Tennessee will return to action Friday, as it hosts the Tennessee Indoor Classic at Stokely Athletics Center on Feb. 18. Field events begin at noon, and running events get started at 5 p.m.

European Declaration on Epilepsy needs YOU
European Union Written Declaration on Epilepsy
A Written Declaration on Epilepsy has been submitted to the European Parliament by the recently created European Advocates for Epilepsy Group within the European Parliament on behalf of the International Bureau for Epilepsy and the International League Against Epilepsy.
The Written Declaration was submitted by Mr Gay Mitchell MEP, President of the European Advocates for Epilepsy Group, and co-signed by four other MEPs: Mr Nirj Deva (UK), Mrs Marian Harkin (Ireland), Mr Peter Skinner (UK) and Mrs Angelika Werthmann (Austria) representing the five different parties in European Parliament. Signatories
We now have until 15th September to encourage a minimum of 369 MEPs to sign the declaration in order to have it adopted. And this is where we need your help.
Declaration in different languages
The Written Declaration on Epilepsy will be ready for signing ahead of the May plenary session in Strasbourg. Thereafter MEPs will be able to sign it during the plenary sessions in Strasbourg in June, July and September and during the June mini session in Brussels. The dates of these sessions, which are the only times during which MEPs may sign, are as follows:
We will only have one chance to have the declaration carried. If fewer than 369 MEPs have signed the declaration by 15th September, it will not be adopted.
In addition, MEPs can use written declarations to launch or relaunch initiatives that come within the EU's remit.
If you would like to write to MEPs in your country, please contact us firstname.lastname@example.com for a listing of MEPs in your country. We can also provide you with a letter template that you might find useful.
Below you will find the text of the Declaration in each of the official EU languages.
There is no doubt that we are setting ourselves a major challenge but the rewards will more than justify the task. We hope that you also agree and that you will work with us to ensure that our goal is reached.

iPhone App May Make Reading Glasses Obsolete
Train your brain to process blurry images and texts better with the GlassesOff app so you can stave off the inevitable aging of your eyes.
A new iPhone app promises to help people read better without glasses. The app targets people in their 50s who experience a sharp decline in close vision acuity. As the lenses in our eyes become less supple with age, it becomes harder to make out objects and words at close proximity. GlassesOff, developed by Israeli company Ucansi, trains the brain to better process blurry images, effectively delaying the need to wear reading glasses.
Uri Polat, the founder of the company and a professor at the Tel Aviv University, commented that the technique used can convince the brain to act as a pair of glasses. Clinical tests have shown that the app is effective, enabling an average reduction in 'eye age' from 50.5 to 41.9.
The app will be launched on the iPhone next year and is expected to cost around $90 for a three-month subscription.

Saltchuk was started in 1982 when they acquired their first operating company, Totem Ocean Trailer Express. Since then, they have grown their family of great businesses to over twenty independent operating companies.
The name Saltchuk comes from a trading language, Chinook Jargon, that was developed by the natives of the Pacific Rim in North America. After the period of contact the language adopted words used by the Europeans that the natives traded with – principally French and English. "Saltchuk" means saltwater. The company's name is suggestive of where they come from and what they do. Chinook Jargon was the language of business, it was inclusive of all peoples, and it was dynamic – all traits the owners feel are associated with the Company.
Each Saltchuk operating group is focused on providing a specific set of industrial services. These five operating companies own and manage a group of independently managed operating companies which Saltchuk acquired, partnered in or launched as startups.

Children of lesbian couples do well in school and life
NEW YORK (Reuters Life!) - Being raised by two mothers does not hinder healthy psychological development, according to a study conducted as the first generation of children conceived by lesbians via donor insemination turn 18.
In fact, lesbian mothers rated their 17-year-olds higher in social and academic skills, and lower in rule-breaking and aggression, than mothers of teenagers who also had a father.
However teenagers whose mothers said they experienced homophobia and bullying were more anxious and had more depressive symptoms than their peers although it was not clear if the anxiety was a product of the bullying or the other way around.
The U.S. study, which appears in the journal Pediatrics, is the first to follow children of lesbian couples all the way from conception to adolescence. "There are so many places in the United States where same-sex couples are not allowed to adopt or foster children in need," said Dr. Nanette Gartrell of the University of California, San Francisco, who started the "U.S. National Longitudinal Lesbian Family Study" in 1986.
"(But) there is not a single study that has shown there are any problems in terms of psychological adjustment (of the child)."
Gartrell said opponents of same-sex parenting often mention cultural or religious values, some also contend that growing up with two mothers or two fathers can't be healthy for the child.
But there is no solid evidence that homosexual parenting is any worse or better than its conventional counterpart, according to Gartrell, who is in a same-sex partnership.
"The things we know that make for good parenting are love, resources and being very involved in your child's life," she said. The findings are based on 77 families of both girls and boys. The researchers interviewed the lesbian mothers about their children and then rated the teenagers on the child behavior checklist, a standardized assessment used for decades.
Each teenager also filled out an Internet-based psychological questionnaire. Continued...

I had promised her I'd go see a certain evening performance but I had had a matinee so I was late getting there.
They had just seen your matinee and were busily dissecting the performances.
At this point, Franco says an abrupt "goodbye" and rushes off to the theater for a matinee performance.
I remember going back to see her, after a matinee at the Young Vic of Anna Christie.
Four years old, and I was on the subway, the old BMT from Brooklyn to Manhattan, just making the matinee of Bye, Bye, Birdie.
It is worse than to be at a Wagner matinee with a woman who cares only for Verdi.
It was like coming out from the matinee and seeing the crowds on the street.
The matinee is over at a quarter of five, and those two have fooled away an hour.
He has invited the three of us to go to the matinee with him.
Are you and Constance going to take Charlie to the matinee to-morrow, dear?
"afternoon performance," 1848, from French matinée (musicale), from matinée "morning" (with a sense here of "daytime"), from matin "morning," from Old French matines (see matins). Originally as a French word in English; it lost its foreignness by late 19c.

Physi is such a great sport. It is an excellent substitute for dance as it incorporates elements of palates, ballet, jazz while teaching girls posture, confidence, strength, teamwork and its great for exercise. Iv been doing physi for 13 yeras and have been at Coal Point Physi for the last 5 years. The club has been so welcoming and helpful, I have definitely met lovely girls who will remain friends for life. I couldnt ask for a nicer club.
Physical Culture (physi) is an excellent sport that girls and women of all ages can enjoy. It can be a sport that mums can enjoy with their daughters. I have been a physi girl since I was 3 and my 6yr old is now a physi girl too. Even my mother-in-law comes along to physi when her body allows it - just for the social aspect. My 3yr old is looking forward to starting in 2014 too - a family affair! Mrs Frame is a wonderful and strong teacher with over 40years experience in teaching physical culture. I thoroughly recommend physi in general, and in particular Coal Point Club, to anyone interested in dance/pilates style fitness.

I have attended Coal Point Physical Culture Club for just over 10 years and have made some great friends along the way as well as keeping fit. My 6yr old daughter also enjoys physi at Coal Point. She received 2nd place in the 5yr section at state grand finals last year and I was placed 5th in my section. Mrs Frame is a very experienced teacher having begun her teaching career over 40 years ago. Thoroughly recommend physi to all girls and women, it's a great sport and one that mums can enjoy with their daughters.
Physi at Coal Point physi is a wonderful combination of several dance disciplines! Many skills have been learned throughout the many years of practicing and competing! It's a wonderful sport for mothers, daughters, sisters, Aunties, nannas and friends!
