text: SAN BRUNO, Calif., Nov. 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Walmart (NYSE: WMT) today announced the launch of Goodies Co ., a monthly food subscription service for consumers to savor delectable foods and discover new items. For only $7 a month, including tax and shipping, subscribers receive a gift box at their doorstep filled with five to eight hand-picked taster samples ranging from healthy and organic to artisan and ethnic. The new Goodies Co. box, created by @WalmartLabs, underscores Walmart's commitment to e-commerce and its use of social innovations to create new offerings for consumers. Goodies Co. has been in a private beta test for the last few months with over 3,000 users across the United States. Each month, treats are arranged into a thematic selection such as "Flavors around the World," and "Trick-or-Treat Sweets" for Halloween. November's Thanksgiving theme is "Easy Entertaining" complete with gourmet foods such as wine biscuits, pumpkin souffle mix, dark chocolate infused Quinoa bars, and white cheddar popcorn among others. The delectables arrive in a gift box with a colorful information card that describes each food in detail. "We continue to experiment with new offerings to delight our customers and leave them with a smile," said Ravi Raj, vice president of products @WalmartLabs. "With Goodies Co., subscribers have the pleasure of opening a box filled with delicious treats every month that they like or may never have tried before. Great value combined with a community of food lovers and the sheer surprise of what a box might hold makes Goodies Co. a compelling offering." "The Goodies Co. box is packed with high-quality foods that I would not have found elsewhere at a price that is unmatched," said Jason Coleman of Gadsden, Alabama, a Goodies Co. beta tester who hosts a food video podcast at BevNerd.com. "The themes make me look forward to opening my Goodies box to discover what is inside every month. It's a great way to taste and experience new foods in a fun and healthy way." Sign Up, Pricing and Social Community Users can sign up for the service at www.goodies.co. After they sign up their name is placed in line to receive an invitation to join the Goodies community. Once an invite is received and the user completes the subscription, they can receive their first Goodies Co. box within weeks. The service is $7 a month including taxes and shipping and is available in the continental United States. Unlike current offerings, Goodies Co. is the first to offer a large assortment of products for a total price that is almost half of the total value of the items if they were purchased separately. The total price for all of the items in the November box would be approximately $15 compared to the Goodies Co. $7 price. When subscribers discover a product they love, they can purchase full-size versions right from the Goodies Co. website. Goodies Co. creates a social community online where subscribers can post reviews to earn loyalty points. These points can be redeemed in the future for boxes or items in the store.

POTUS Sighting!
We took a group of 14 Rookies from the Bronx and Queens down to Washington DC to see the sights. There were 17 of us, traveling on a double-decker bus, staying in a hostel.
We got in to DC and walked (some ran) along the National Mall, checking out the monuments as the sun set.
The next day we walked forever in the freezing rain and ate too many cheese fries at Ben's Chili Bowl. Then we waddled over to the Howard University radio station WHBC.
We spent the last morning touring the NPR headquarters with Chris Turpin, Executive Producer of All Things Considered. Many of the female Rookies seemed most impressed by Chris' British accent.
On the walk back to the hostel we watched as police officers were setting up barricades on K Street. I told the Rookies that they must be making way for the POTUS motorcade--but I wasn't really serious.
Turns out I was right! We not only saw President Obama drive by, but from inside his tinted limo windows, he waved at us! You can watch the amazing moment unfold, thanks to Queens Rookie Andrea Lee Torres' camera skills (though you can't actually see Obama in the video, you can hear that we did!)

Prime Minister of Cambodia, Hun Sen, has held over three-hour long talks with the United Nations special rapporteur on Cambodia, Prof. Surya P. Subedi, in Phnom Penh.
During the talks, Prof Subedi presented his recommendations to bring about governance reforms in Cambodia. Prof Subedi also met opposition leaders of Cambodia and exchanged views regarding resolving the on-going political crisis in the country.
Nearly two years ago, Prime Minister Hun Sen had expressed reservations to the report submitted by Prof Subedi to the UN on the human rights situation in Cambodia. He even referred him as a person from a country that had failed to draft its own constitution. But after the report was welcomed widely by the international community and protests were launched within the country demanding governance reforms, the Cambodian Prime Minister has agreed to start working on the UN recommendations.
A professor of international law at the University of Leeds, UK, Prof Subedi was appointed UN envoy on human rights to Cambodia in 2009 and his tenure was extended later.

The most favorite choice for 12th Science students.
Gulnaz Ansari, Guramol, Mohit Saini, Palak Mittal, Saksham Gupta
Job-related expertise is essential in any profession and in many other careers. However, over the last twenty to thirty years, understanding has grown that perhaps the soft skills may ultimately be more important in determining levels of success.
It's hard to judge which soft skills are most important, but this list is broadly what employers mean when they talk about good soft skills and the skills which are most likely to enable you to build constructive working relationships with others, or to be a constructive and helpful employee.
1. Communication Skills
Communication skills are always top of the 'essential skills' list in any job advertisement. People with strong communication skills can build relationships (from the initial building rapport through to a longer-term relationship), listen well, and vary their communication to suit the circumstances.
If you spend time on nothing else, work on your communication skills.
2. Making Decisions
Valued by employers for many reasons, being able to make decisions is key to getting on in life. Sometimes the actual decision doesn't even matter; what matters is that you have made one and moved on.
3. Self Motivation
People who are self-motivated get on by themselves. They don't need close supervision and they are good to work with because they are generally positive about life and can be counted upon to keep going. It also helps to work on your personal resilience and adaptability to change.
4. Leadership Skills
These are the set of soft skills that we least expect someone to develop by themselves. There are many leadership training courses available and much has been written about how to develop your leadership skills.
Our leadership skills pages describe many of the skills needed for effective leadership and how to develop your leadership style.
5.Team-Working Skills
Like leadership skills, there are many training courses to teach you how to work well in a team. However, there is also plenty of thinking to suggest that good communication skills, particularly good listening skills, together with an ability to build rapport will go a long way to support your ability to work well in a team.
6. Creativity and Problem Solving Skills
Creativity and problem-solving skills are highly valued because they are hard to develop. There are many people who believe that creative thinkers are born, not made, and there are certainly some people who find these skills much easier. But, like other skills, you can develop them if you work to do so and our pages on these topics will give you some ideas about how to do this.
7. Time Management and ability to work under pressure
Many would say that these two skills, which often go hand-in-hand, are more an attitude than a skill. However they can also be developed and honed, which is why we include them as skills. Highly valued by employers, they are also very useful for organising a family or a team, and for making sure that the job gets done.
The team of academicians at Aasthan ISET comprises Subject Experts, Engineers, MBAs and Chartered Accountants. This team has immense experience in successfully training students for all Government Job Entrance Exams. These exams have a rigorous selection process and we help our students become capable enough to successfully meet the demands of this process. We provide specialized coaching for Govt. Job exams such as:
To be the best education service providing organization known for setting benchmarks in academic excellence, student satisfaction and result orientation.
To provide unmatched excellent education that enriches lives and creates success for our students.
Learning Philosophy:
At Aasthan ISET, only education matters. Education is not only the means to success but also an end in itself. It is the only path to continuous growth and development. In order to make this journey truly successful, genuine endeavours are required on the part of both the student and the mentor. These endeavours achieve desired results when there is complete harmony between the student and the mentor, as regards all aspects that comprise learning.
However, students differ from one another in terms of their learning potential and have different learning curves. Herein the role of a mentor assumes critical importance; the efficacy of the learning delivered depends on his ability to understand the special requirements of each and every student. If the mentor is able to fine tune the learning process as per these requirements then learning assumes a different dimension altogether. Thus, creating an experience which is truly enriching for both the student and the mentor.
Developing your skills begins with assessing which skills are important for your desired career development. Read about career skills in the self-assessment section of this website. Speak with your supervisor or manager and other career mentors to identify the types of skills that will help move you forward in your career.
Skill Development means developing yourself and your skill sets to add value for the organization and for your own career development. Fostering an attitude of appreciation for lifelong learning is the key to workplace success. Continuously learning and developing one's skills requires identifying the skills needed for mobility at Cal, and then successfully seeking out trainings or on-the-job opportunities for developing those skills.
Your development should follow the 70-20-10 rule:
70% of your development should come from on-the-job activities and action learning. This can include development experiences like managing a project, serving on a cross-functional team, taking on a new task, job shadowing, job rotation, etc.
20% of your development should come from interactions with others. This includes having a mentor, being a mentor, coaching, participating in communities of practice, serving as a leader in a staff organization, etc.
10% of your development should come from training, including classes, seminars, webinars, podcasts, conferences, etc.
Once you have identified the skills you need to develop to achieve your career goals, your next step is identifying how you will develop your skills. The two main avenues for developing your skills are through the following:
While education and training are important to skill development, it is also known that only 10 percent of adult learning happens in the classroom, from books, tapes, or online learning activities. This is often because learning in these formats is more passive. Most adult learning, a full 70 percent, happens by doing. Learning by doing can take place through on-the-job and leadership experiences.
Following are examples of on-the-job and leadership experiences that can help you develop a range of skills and competencies.
On-the-Job Experience Examples
Leadership Experience Examples
These are just some examples of developmental experiences that can help you develop your skills. See additional examples of development experiences in this Experience Inventory handout (PDF).
The unique experiences that can help you progress toward your career development goals will be created by you, in conjunction with your supervisor or manager. Learning how to communicate to your supervisor that you are open to and desire development experiences is important to getting the opportunity to develop your career skills.
Show openness by being receptive to new ideas and suggestions, by admitting to your need for improvement, and by actively seeking your direct supervisor/manager's feedback. Keep in mind that the end goal is your career development, not the coaching process itself. Even if it's difficult to hear constructive criticism in the short run, if it helps to create development experiences for you it will help your career development as a whole.
Read the steps below for details on how to manage a developmental experience.

Andy Gray exclusive: West Ham ready to hammer Stoke
West Ham v Stoke, Live Sky Sports 1, Monday 8pm
Stoke are not good away from the Britannia. They are almost two different teams. At home you fancy Stoke to beat anybody but away from the Britannia they struggle. They haven't won away from home this season and that won't change on Monday night.
West Ham got a great victory at St James' Park and Sam Allardyce will be in really good form and they should win at 21/20. Upton Park is a fabulous place to play night games at and the fans will be well up for it. Both 2-1 at 7/1 and 2-0 at 8/1 to West Ham represent good value. The Hammers to score exactly two goals is 5/2 in Paddy Power's online betting.
When these sides last met in the Premier League in the 2010/11 season The Hammers ran out 3-0 winners and Arsenal are the only side to win at Upton Park this season in six games. Manchester City are the only side to keep them scoreless at home too and that's decent form for the newly-promoted club.
Tony Pulis' side haven't won away in six games this season and actually haven't picked up three points on the road since they beat Blackburn Rovers 2-1 at Ewood Park on January 2 this year.

Jars of the yeast extract, which has polarised the nation into lovers and haters, are polished off in no time by Battersea's canine residents who have developed quite a taste for the spread.
Today 100 of the famous yellow topped brown glass jars will set tails wagging in the kennels when they are delivered to London's popular dog's home.
The year's supply of Marmite is an unusual, but very welcome prize to Battersea Chief Executive Claire Horton who will be presented with one of the first ever Dogs Today Endal Awards for Services to Animals.
Claire Horton commented: "Battersea dogs definitely 'love it' when it comes to Marmite. We like to provide our dogs with lots of different activities throughout the week to try and help them cope better in a kennel environment. One of the dogs' favourites is licking Marmite from chew toys - it keeps them entertained for hours."

Not sure about my hair properties,but I think I have low/normal porosity hair, 3b/3c, natural hair only - there was something else I should know about my hair... right?
Well I took a look at the bottle and it only says 100% grapeseed oil. filled 05/2011 and expires 05/2014 ...which just cant be right, since i read in several websites that it can be stored only for 15 months!
I wrote the company where i bought it an email asking for the ingredients list and further information.
The oil is deep dark green, and it tastes (my DH's idea) like plastic. Its really disgusting! Im going to the supermarket tomorrow and am gonna purchase a bottle from another brand so i can compare.
Im really pissed and disappointed at the same time. Hope that at least the castor oil I bought from the same company turns out to really be castor oil!!!

I am no happy reader of Canada's National Post, but am driven to report to you that a recent graph in the paper suggests that "the term 'Palestinian' became popularised as a marker of identity after the Six Day War of 1967".
Since Jordan had long ago annexed the Arab West Bank and since Israeli prime minister Golda Meir once claimed that Palestinians did not exist, I guess that makes sense. But it does seem a bit much that we get to recognise a Middle Eastern people only when the victims have been occupied by someone else's army. After all, we recognised the French for centuries before the 1870 Franco-Prussian war. And while it might be said that the Goths, Ostrogoths and Visigoths didn't get much of a look-in until the Romans invaded Germania, no one in Italy doubted that Gauls existed before Vercingetorix.
But wait. The National Post, another journalistic flagship for the Israeli state in a foreign land, doesn't quite say what it appears to say.
The term Palestinian, you will notice, wasn't "recognised" after 1967. It was "popularised". And it was "popularised" not as a "national identity" but as a "marker of identity". This may be due to the ignorance of what is to be found on Google (whence the paper appears to have sucked this tosh) or to its own gutlessness. But you get the point. After 1967, the Palestinians came to be "popularised" as Palestinians in the same way, I suppose, as Walt Disney "popularised" Mickey Mouse. Of course, being "popularised" didn't make him real. It's a new way of using language – not to manipulate in order to lie, but to hide behind it in order to avoid personal responsibility or say things which may provoke others to call you racist, anti-Semitic, uncultured or, an old favourite of mine, "pre-judgemental".
Indeed, as your Middle East correspondent swoops around the world, trying to write reports in decent English, I bring you other bad news from the snowy wastes of urban Canada. I have, for example, just opened my copy of the Toronto Star to discover how a city police officer – a certain Detective Paul Lentsch, whose name must surely now become indispensable to all semanticists – wanted to express his feelings about a probable arson attack. A resident of the burnt-out building, the paper suggested, may have been involved in contract killings in the US. But here comes Detective Lentsch's arrival in linguistic history. "We've put a lot of time into this house this month," he announced. "It's concerning." It's what? Let's have that again. IT'S CONCERNING. Well, blow me down. I always thought to "concern" was a transitive verb that took a plain old-fashioned object. But what is the object here? "It" – ie the burnt-out house – or the reader who perhaps should be "concerned"? But certainly not Detective Lentsch. If he had any feelings on the matter, he would surely have said "I am concerned", although even that might be regarded as a somewhat mild reaction to an arson attack. But nope, our favourite detective simply didn't want to express a personal opinion about crime.
Same goes, incredibly, for the Toronto Star's music critic when it comes to, well, music. Murray Perahia's performance of Brahms's piano music on CD is greeted by critic John Terauds with these words: "Veteran American pianist Murray Perahia compels with crisp, purposeful playing." Yes, but what is he "compelling", for God's sake? Again, to "compel" is a transitive verb. It needs an object. Is it us who are "compelled"? Or Mr Terauds? More likely, Mr Terauds doesn't want to commit himself. No personal views please.
And since corrupted English travels west to east across the Atlantic, let's take a look at the Quebec government's "family minister" Yolande James, who has just banned religious instruction in child daycare centres. Christmas trees are OK, even nativity scenes – providing the kids aren't told the identity of the baby in the manger. Bing Crosby is OK. "Silent Night" is not. Canadian Jews and Muslims are equally offended.
But hark to Ms James's message. "All questions touching the transmission (sic) of faith – that is, teaching religion itself – do not belong (sic) within the publicly funded daycare system."
Ho hum. Religion, it seems, is something that can be passed on, caught, a disease that might infect others. The transmission of Aids, for example, certainly doesn't belong to daycare centres. But religion? And note the "belong". This "transmission" cannot "belong" because it might become a part of school. Culture's great. God's out. But I loved the fact that Ms James was so conscious of her own gobbledegook that she had to explain that "transmission of faith" actually meant "teaching religion". Call Detective Lentsch at once.
But there's no stopping this stuff. Prince Edward Island, hitherto a quiet Canadian Atlantic province, was described in a 1999 government report as suffering from "a strong cultural norm of 'sameness'". Down, readers, down, I know how you feel. Those Canadians in PEI were all bloody whities, weren't they? Wretched descendants of Anglo-Scots-Irish ancestry. But relax, all is OK. Because now, according to Kathy Hambly, director of a local chamber of commerce, "every street you walk down offers a different ethnic experience". The key words, of course, are "street" and "experience". Immigrants tend to settle in areas together – streets rather than homes – while their presence gives us an "experience", something culturally good, no doubt.
I am a strong supporter of Canada's multi-ethnic society. What gets me is the happy-clappy way in which these government apparatchiks force their multiculturalism on the world at the cost of destroying the English language.
I shall end with the worst of all recent linguistic crimes. My old letter-writing chum Max Pieper brings to my attention the outrageous attempt by a liberal Jewish writer, Ilan Gur-Ze'ev to diminish the importance of the Jewish Holocaust in order to explain Palestinian suffering. I give you this key paragraph – do not ask me to explain this, for I have no idea what it means – as an example:
"The Holocaust is not merely a historical episode. It is first and foremost an expression of the fundamental histories of experience taking place in the dialectic between Eros and Thanatos, which we duplicate in an ecstasy that has been domesticated to a state of smug 'normality'."
O reader, this does not compel. But call Detective Lentsch. It's concerning.

About this blog:
One day I was reading yet another mystic's reference to living like a river — wondering what EXACTLY that meant as far as how I should conduct my life — when I realized that my work studying and restoring streams should tell me what that means in MINUTE DETAIL as well in the big picture. So I started letting it. The result is this exploration of the river as life coach. I hope you enjoy it!
About me:
Left Brainers
- Engineering — degrees from Brown University and the University of Nevada; licensed Professional Engineer in the State of Wyoming.
- Natural Channel Hydrology — worked for Cheryl Harrelson and studied with Dave Rosgen (both are river rock stars AND still available for hire)
Right Brainers
- Anthropology — another degree from Brown
- Poetry — I am very thankful for poems
- Yoga — 20 years practicing and teaching
No Brainer
- Three kids + their father + many years = love
- science + spirituality + daily life = a fully human life (and an abundance of happy metaphors)
What to call this pursuit? How about "thinker/essayist/speaker on spiritual personal transformation."
Whatever it's called, my passion was fed by training and certification from author and Life Coach Martha Beck.

General Motors: Who's Feeling Bullish?
General Motors (GM) was once again in the cross-hairs today, as CEO Mary Barra testified before a Senate committee.
Barra's testimony is just the latest twist in the saga that has resulted in General Motors losing 15% so far this year, and lagging competitors like Ford Motor (F) and Toyota Motor (TM). To sum up: General Motors has recalled 6.3 million cars; explained that some engineers knew about the problem with faulty ignition switches nearly 10 years ago; is being investigated by the House, Senate and the Justice Department; and even concerns about discounts to its trucks (which seem really quaint right now in light of everything else).
After all that, who could possibly feel confident in General Motors' prospects? How about options investors? Interactive Brokers' Andrew Wilkinson explains:
How much damage the GM recall has on its future remains an open-ended question...Despite an uncomfortable ride for GM stock...the weight of evidence suggests investors expect better times for the company once the interruption has passed. Most analysts on Wall Street have shaken off the recall woes and on average project a price target for the stock of $44.78 or 29.8% above its current trading price. And positioning in the option market tends to support the bullish case. Perhaps that might be different were the economy heading towards recession, but the reality remains that auto sales continue to recover from the recession magnified by rising employment prospects.
Shares of General Motors have gained 1.2% to $34.76 today at 2:27 p.m., while Ford Motor has risen 0.5% to $16.40 and Toyota Motor is up 0.1% to $113.30.

Amazing ice photos from inside a building
January 21, 2013 Leave a comment
Photographer Gary Jensenwas asked to snap some incredible photos prior to the thawing of a former cold storage building that was about to be renovated in Chicago. The thawing itself was also caught on video.
The building was the former home of Fulton Market Cold Storage company, and was recently sold to Sterling Bay, who are renovating the building with help from architects Perkins & Will. Before they could start, they had to defrost the enormous storage area that had turned into an icy cavern. Luckily Gary was able to take these incredible photos first.

Today's Oracle takes us to the Aries weekly for Nov. 23, 2007
El Soul, the Sun, is about to move into fiery Sagittarius, and this always has a way of setting you free. Just in time, too, because it seems that lately you've been feeling like you're under house arrest. As it turns out, the first week or so of this journey is likely to have you feeling like there is so much from life that you want, and so little from life that you can reasonably expect. I can assure you of this, the limits you feel are inner restrictions, not outer ones. For one thing, you are trapped by your work and your sense of obligation. But unless you are willing to accept this lasting forever, I suggest that you take full advantage of your sense of frustration and limitation in these days, focus your energy and lift yourself to a higher place.
Note, The Oracle is a random selection from the Eric Francis horoscope archives. Each day we publish one entry from among the 10,000 in our database. It's a little slice of horoscope history — but chosen by our Oracle program, which always speaks to the present moment. New horoscopes are published each Friday plus twice a month in Planet Waves subscriber edition and Planet Waves Light.

Screened porch & deck
I'm considering having a deck and screened porch built, replacing my existing deck. The dimensions of the new deck would be 16'x30' (without the porch). The screened porch would be 16'x25' in size.
I am wondering what I can expect as a cost /sq. ft for the deck and the porch. Just ballpark for budget purposes.
No one's going to be pricing anything. It's a DIY site. Need help building it were right there with you.
A guess from any website on line is never ever going to be right fom anyone.
A ball park figure would do you 0 good even of someone threw one out there.
There are way way to many variable for us to give any sort of decent idea of a ballpark price.
Materials, location, style, finishes all determine cost.
Need someone local to give you a price.
It's like saying what does a car cost? Cold be free or $500,000 depending on the car
Are you planning on building it yourself?
If yes, you may want to budget for structural engineer to get his/her stamp of approval to to confirm that your deck framing structure can handle the roof load (it is required in my town).

Good Afternoon,
I have just looked through the Q & A pages but I am a little bit unsure about one thing.
I live in the midlands and have asked a few clinics if they do they p24 tests I'm guessing this is the 4th generation test? However they are all giving me different information. Some websites say wait 28 days exactly. Others say repeat after 3 months and I have seen on your website that 3-4 weeks after exposure is good enough?
I am feeling a little bit confused. Also if going to a private clinic are there any questions I can ask to make sure it's legitimate establishment?

Coax cable removal or disconnect
Not sure where to post this, but hoping someone here can help.
We just bought an old house where every bedroom is wired for cable TV. When the coax was installed, a hole was drilled through the carpet and the floor (not in the walls). Unfortunately, the ceilings below are sheetrocked, so I can't access the coax from below.
Now we are in the middle of removing the old carpet and putting in new and I'm not sure the safest way to get rid of this old coax cable that will otherwise end up beneath the new carpet.
We do not want cable TV in these rooms, and will not in the future.
Is it safe to simply cut the coax cable flush with the floor and tuck any remainder back into the floor? Should I wire-tape the ends and hide it under the carpet? Is there something else I should try?
I will try to find the splitter and disconnect the wires there. But I don't want any kind of potential hazard lurking under the floors or the carpet.
Thanks so much for any suggestions!
The coax cable is likely to be safe no matter what you do with it. However it is best that you find both ends of a wire that you plan to abandon in place, tape them up and cut them off as short as possible before poking them into the last accessable hole.
The original installer may have burried the splitters above that drywall.. Yuck. Talk about hack work. If when abandoning these wires you get a short you may ruin your picture quality for the rest of the house. Be prepaired to re-wire to the locations that you want to have a TV.
IF they are more than three coaxial lines, it is possible and somewhat likely that there is also a drop-amplifier in use. Typically, after an ordinary cable signal is split 3 times + the picture quality begins to suffer. Some people use drop amplifiers - like a coaxial splitter, only powered. If there is one in place here, you may wish to find it and remove it as it may be plugged into a receptacle.
THe use of a drop amp here is questionable though, it doesn't sound like the home owner knew what they were doing in the first place. I guess it may be unlikely that they knew anything about drop amps. HOwever, its worth a glance.
thanks to both of you for the help!

Lea Michele Removing Tattoo?
Wed, 19 Sep 2012 10:34:29
Lea Michele Videos
The lovely and talented Glee star Lea Michele is supposedly undergoing laser treatment to remove one of her tattoos. She has 14 tattoos in total and has spoken at length about loving her tattoos, which are sprinkled all over her tight body.
The woman who plays Rachel Berry on the Fox smash was snapped visiting a Beverly Hills clinic known for its expertise in removing tattoos.
Michele was later spotted with a bandage on her left middle ringer, which featured a small, red heart.
Perhaps that's what she is having removed? Could be.
Do you have any tattoos? Tell us your ink stories in the comments field below, please!

Lacrosse news straight to your inbox.
Monday July 23rd, 2012 4:24pm
Nike tends to have an eye for tapping talent — your Micheal Jordan and Tiger Woods and LeBron James and all. So its no surprise they would bring in one of the game's young stars in Cornell attackman Rob Pannell to help the company continue to improve in their lacrosse endeavors.
Pannell spent this past summer interning as a one-man research & development team, traveling to summer camps across the country as an intern representative, meeting with players and gathering their thoughts and opinions on the company's new line of lacrosse products. Pannell worked directly with Nike's national lacrosse manager Joe Taylor, a Cornell alumni and father of current Big Red sophomore Matt Taylor.
"It was awesome," says the 2010 Ivy League Player of the Year. "It was great to be able to travel to a lot of places, meeting new people and having a hands-on experience with the game."
Part of Pannell's job description was to serve as his own talent scout, walking the sidelines and talking to coaches to identify the top talent at the summer camps. The best players met with Pannell, and were given Nike shafts and strung heads to try out in their own time. Pannell would later interview the players with a Flip Cam, asking for their thoughts on the designs, feel, shape and other questions concerning the equipment.
"Some kids are very shy, especially when you put the camera on them," says Pannell. "Or when you say your here with Nike, they can tense up a bit. But all my groups were good, and very interactive from event to event."
A two-time All-American and a highly visible player thanks to consecutive trips to the Final Four, Pannell's recent fame helps break the ice. Many of the players have since kept in touch following their first meetings, communicating with him via Facebook.
At the end of his internship, Pannell had to file two reports (one on equipment and one for apparel) to Nike's lacrosse representatives, who will use the information to potentially help shape future head and shaft model lines. Among the newly tested products were the Nike Pursuit handle and the Nike Lakota head, along with Nike jerseys and apparel.
Pannell travels took him to camps in Texas ( with former Cornell midfielder and current Denver Outlaw Max Seibald), Minnesota, Long Island, Delbarton, N.J. and back to campus at the Cornell team camp. He also squeezed in recreational trips to the Lake Placid Tournament (his first trip there) and the War at the Shore in New Jersey.
The Nike internship also provided a new perspective on possible careers in lacrosse for Pannell. A Business major with a specialization in finance, Pannell says he's weighed a possible future in the New York financial world, but definitely still open to new opportunities in lacrosse.
"I'm definitely exploring," says Pannell. "But I definitely am interested in staying in lacrosse for a couple yearr, working camps in the summer and spending more time with Mr. Taylor."

Norwegian Star: Norwegian Star Cruise Review by Serendipityalways
Overall Member Rating
Norwegian Star
Destination: Bermuda
Embarkation: New York (Manhattan)
There is limited seating out doors. If you wanted to get away from the busy pool area you could find limited seating on a back deck or the forward deck of the ship. There were no chairs or chaises on the promenade deck if you were looking to get out of the sun.
The buffet area reminded me very much of a school cafeteria. It was very plain and poorly laid out. A main aisle went down the middle of the seating area More and you not only had diners constantly passing by your table but other guests as well who were trying to get from one part of the ship to another. It was very busy and not relaxing. Except for breakfast, the food served in the buffet I would rate as average or below. This would not be my choice for lunch or dinner.
The Aqua dining room has low ceilings and is not as well appointed as the Versailles dining room. Gives a very closed in feeling. Overall the food in both dining rooms,although plentiful with numerous choices, was just Okay. Nothing outstanding but it was impeccably presented and served.
Without a doubt the staff aboard the Star was top of the line. Extremely friendly, helpful and professional. Any request was met with a smile and "of course we can do that for you"...5 star service all the way around.
The ship was clean and well maintained.
The main pool area was nicely laid out. Their outside grill cooked up some great hamburgers, pulled pork, and hotdogs. Weather permitting they also had a great Barbeque outside.
The concept of Free Style dining worked well for us. We never ate dinner at the same time and even though we were quite a large party of 7 we never really waited for a table for more than 5 minutes
Embarkation and disembarkation were easy and quick...no stress. Staterooms were ready by the time we left port and suitcases were delivered in time for dinner. Although we had an enjoyable trip to Bermuda, I don't think that I would book another trip on the Star but wouldn't hesitate booking another Norwegian cruise. Less

In Georgia, English replaces retreating Russian
By Matt Robinson and Nino Ivanishvili
TBILISI (Reuters) - With Alexander Pushkin's framed visage on the wall and creased editions of fellow Russian literary giants on dusty shelves, Natela Chokhonelidze's office recalls a very different era at Georgia's State University.
"We once had a staff of 50, and now there are five, because there aren't many students," said the 70-year-old Professor Emeritus at the university's Institute of Russian Studies.
"Russian language is fading out," she quipped, "with me!"
Chokhonelidze is on the losing side of a deliberate shift in the former Soviet republic as its pro-Western leadership tries to supplant Russian with English as the default second language of 21st century Georgia.
On Wednesday, hundreds of native English speakers joined the first day of school as teaching assistants under an ambitious program to have every child aged five to 16 speak English. English is now compulsory, and Russian optional.
The aim appears pragmatic in a globalized world where English dominates and Georgia's investment-driven economy is seeking partners in Turkey and the European Union.
It dovetails too, however, with President Mikheil Saakashvili's policy of dragging the Caucasus country of 4.5 million people out from Russia's orbit, two years after war shattered already fragile ties between the neighbors.
"We're a free and independent country and our people are free and independent. It's their choice which language to learn," Education Minister Dmitry Shashkin, an ethnic Russian, told Reuters, in English. Continued...

Senate Leaders Propose Full Pre-K Funding for New York City, Minus the Tax Increase
The New York Senate's majority leaders have put forth a budget plan that would give New York City the funding it wants to expand pre-kindergarten and after-school programs. And with Assembly Speaker Sheldon Speaker hinting at support for the senate's plan, the proposal appears to take Mayor Bill de Blasio's tax increase entirely off the table.
The budget resolution released Thursday evening would direct $540 million to New York City each year for five years for the educational programs. The plan also includes pre-k funding for charter schools. They were previously barred from receiving state funds for pre-k.
Essentially, it's everything Mayor Bill de Blasio was asking for -- except for the tax.
The mayor had repeatedly stated that a tax hike on the city's wealthiest earners was the most stable way to fund his vision for universal full-day pre-k and after-school programs for middle school students. But he heaped praise on senate majority leaders Jeff Klein and Dean Skelos, calling their plan an "unprecedented commitment" to fund the programs.
After initially supporting the mayor's tax plan, Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver indicated on Thursday that he would back the senate's proposal as long as it came "without conditions, without attachments."
"I'm not married to a tax hike," he said.
In his own budget plan, Governor Cuomo proposed allocating $100 million next fiscal year for pre-k expansion statewide, far below what de Blasio wanted for New York City alone. But the governor said districts could receive more.
"As we have said from the beginning, pre-k funding will ultimately be determined by each individual school district's actual ability to create an eligible program on a timely basis," the governor said in a statement released Thursday. "Once it is determined that a plan is operational, the state will meet the locality's need to that amount."
The governor and state lawmakers have until April first to approve a state budget.

Interestingly enough, Google's CEO Larry Page back in October said that Google's annualized mobile ad revenue was running at a $2.5 billion a year pace. During the company's conference call last week after reporting Q4 earnings, Page said that mobile ad revenue is now running at a $5 billion annualized pace, which certainly makes Friedland's methodology look accurate.
As Google's mobile ad revenues continue to rise, it becomes a larger and larger component of the Mountain View based firm's annual take. According to Friedland, the percentage of Google's annual revenue coming from mobile ads has risen from 3% in 2010 to 7% last year and is projected to reach 13% of Google's revenue. And it won't stop this year. Cowen's analyst sharpened his pencil and figured out that by 2016, mobile will be a $20 billion business for the company and amount to 26% of the company's annual take.
The Cowen analyst believes that Google could raise the amount it gets from each handset to $8. To put that in perspective, the company is believed by Friedland to bring in $30 a year in revenue for each PC. As we reported, Oracle filed a lawsuit in which it claimed that Google makes $14 annually from each Android phone activated or $10 million a day, a figure that Oracle might have inflated due to the legal action it is taking.
Keep in mind that Google doesn't break out financials for the mobile division, so these numbers all come from Friedland's abacus. How did he arrive at the above calculations? He estimates the total number of smartphones and tablets and then figures out what percent belongs to Google and starts his figuring from that point.

Doubtful Loan
What is 'Doubtful Loan'
A loan where full repayment is questionable and uncertain. Degree of repayment of loans in question range from a complete loss to uncertain loss unless corrective actions are taken. Doubtful loans are usually non-performing loans on which interest is overdue and full collection of principal is uncertain.
BREAKING DOWN 'Doubtful Loan'
A loan classified as doubtful has all the characteristics of a substandard loan and credit weakness making full collection questionable and improbable. Fifty per cent of loans classified as doubtful are deducted from adjusted bank capital in computing regulatory capital adequacy.

This week the Fayston Rangers Meet the Monsters. These 7 and 8 year olds are all from the same town and same class, which really helped with team chemistry. They had a solid season, getting better each day.
Jack, a 7 year old pitcher asks, "What was your favorite position growing up?"
Tyler Johnson, Lake Monsters Pitcher, "Hey Jack. When I was growing up I always liked playing shortstop. I loved running around and hitting. Center field too, because you can run around and grab the ball. I always liked being on the mound pitching. I didn't throw too much when I was younger so I could keep my arm fresh, but definitely liked shortstop or center field, because those were the most active positions on the field."
Grady, an 8 year old catcher asks, "How did you become a Lake Monsters?"
Dylan Covey, Lake Monsters Pitcher, "Hey Grady! I was drafted by the Oakland Athletics and then I went to Arizona for a few days before they sent me out to Vermont to play for the Vermont Lake Monsters."
Lauren, an 8 year old first baseman asks, "What is the most important position on the field?"
Rick Magnante, Lake Monsters Manager, "Well Lauren, that's a very good question. We certainly look to pitching first and then we look to the people who play at the center of the diamond, because that's where the action most of the time takes place. That would be your catcher, shortstop and your center fielder so those are the areas we look to when we define where the key players are and where the best players are."

CANADA STOCKS-TSX edges lower as oil slip hurts energy companies
(Adds portfolio manager comment, updates prices)
By Alastair Sharp
TORONTO Dec 22 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index edged lower on Monday as energy companies took cues from oil's return to price slips, offset by gains in some of the country's biggest banks.
Oil and gas stocks have fallen sharply in recent weeks, but most ticked higher last week after one among them, Talisman Energy Inc, was acquired by oil major Repsol.
"I think the energy stocks are higher than where they probably should be," Norman Levine, managing director at Portfolio Management Corp. "Last week as soon as the bid for Talisman was announced, they all jumped up as though they were all going to get taken over."
Crude fell on Monday as Saudi Arabia made clear it would not limit its production in order to prod prices higher.
Canadian Natural Resources was off 1.8 percent at C$35.96 and Encana Corp fell 4.1 percent to C$15.73.
The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index was down 18.49 points, or 0.13 percent, at 14,449.77.
Bank of Nova Scotia added 0.8 percent to C$65.63 and Toronto-Dominion Bank rose 0.7 percent to C$54.40. Continued...

Detroit Lions general manager Martin Mayhew had indicated during his post-season press briefing that "all aspects" of the organization's football operations would be re-evaluated after a 4-12 season -- and his hiring of Brian Xanders earlier this week is an indication he seems to be following through.
With only a month passing since the team's final regular season game – and with the 2012 season still ongoing – the team has already parted ways with and replaced several position coaches and as well as the team's special team coordinator. Now, the first splash in the front office has occurred.
Xanders to fill the role of Senior Personnel Executive.
To some, the move may appear to be an insignificant acquisition that will have little bearing but in actuality this move fortifies the Lions' front office and could increase the chances of a bounce back from a disappointing 2012.
But Xanders will play a significant role in scouting for the Lions (on both the collegiate and pro levels), where he has proven to excel.
Xanders was hired as assistant general manager for the Denver Broncos after the 2008 draft by head coach Mike Shanahan and was promoted to general manager a year later by new head coach Josh McDaniels. He remained in that role for four seasons until Broncos head of football operations John Elway decide to part ways with him after the 2012 draft.
During Xanders time as GM 32 of 35 players drafted – as well as 13 undrafted free agents – made the opening day roster. Xanders demonstrated gumption through trades, exemplified in acquiring defensive tackle Brodrick Bunkley for a fifth-round selection in 2011. Many shied away from Bunkley due to injury concerns but Xanders pulled the trigger and was rewarded.
Bunkley went on to play in all games – not missing a single practice – in 2011 and was credited by his teammates for being one of the major reasons for the team's defensive turnaround.
The offseason leading into 2011 was a key year in the Broncos turnaround, in addition to Bunkley (who has since departed via free agency) Xanders signed running back Willis McGahee, tight end Daniel Fells and drafted outside linebacker Von Miller.
The Broncos won their division – and a playoff game – in 2011 after a 4-12 season the year prior, a feat he will attempt to help duplicate in Detroit.
Mayhew said the move "positively impacts all aspects of our team's football operations" and that "Brian will effectively improve on the structure we have in place and will add another set of eyes to the evaluation process."
The 41 year old is still relatively young and brings a wide-spanning skill set with him to Detroit.
He is no stranger to quick rebuilds and bold moves. The 2013 offseason just got more interesting in Detroit.

Finger tree
A finger tree is a purely functional data structure used in efficiently implementing other functional data structures. A finger tree gives amortized constant time access to the "fingers" (leaves) of the tree, where data is stored, and also stores in each internal node the result of applying some associative operation to its descendants. This "summary" data stored in the internal nodes can be used to provide the functionality of data structures other than trees. For example, a priority queue can be implemented by labeling the internal nodes by the minimum priority of its children in the tree, or an indexed list/array can be implemented with a labeling of nodes by the count of the leaves in their children.
Finger trees can provide amortized O(1) pushing, reversing, popping, O(log n) append and split; and can be adapted to be indexed or ordered sequences. And like all functional data structures, it is inherently persistent; that is, older versions of the tree are always preserved.
They have since been used in the Haskell core libraries (in the implementation of Data.Sequence), and an implementation in OCaml exists[1] which was derived from a proven-correct Coq implementation;[2] and a C# implementation of finger trees was published in 2008; the Yi text editor specializes finger trees to finger strings for efficient storage of buffer text. Finger trees can be implemented with or without lazy evaluation,[3] but laziness allows for simpler implementations.
They were first published in 1977 by Leonidas J. Guibas,[4] and periodically refined since (e.g. a version using AVL trees,[5] non-lazy finger trees, simpler 2-3 finger trees,[6] B-Trees and so on)

It was a hell of a day, even by billionaire James Packer's standards.
On Friday morning, Packer greeted the mother of his three children, his ex-wife Erica Baxter, on the tarmac at Sydney Airport, where the pair boarded the Packer family helicopter to fly to Bowral to attend the funeral of a fellow billionaire, healthcare and media mogul Paul Ramsay.
For a couple who ended their six-year marriage just six months ago amid a storm of headlines and tears, they appeared unexpectedly close.
Packer, still sporting a black eye following Sunday's infamous street fight, was visibly moved during the service.
He wrapped his arm protectively around Baxter's waist; she responded to the intimate gesture by doing the same, making the pair closer than they have been in months.
But while he was reacquainting himself with his ex-wife, Rose Bay police were busy issuing the casino mogul with a $500 infringement notice over his involvement in the fracas with the best man at his wedding - Channel Nine boss David Gyngell.
Both Packer and Gyngell have escaped any criminal conviction being marked against their names, which means the billionaire has no probity issues to worry about as he forges ahead with his various casino developments, both here and abroad.
To top it all off, by lunchtime Packer was in line for a windfall estimated to be worth several hundred million dollars, as news broke that US computing giant Apple was in talks to acquire rapper Dr Dre's music subscription service, Beats Music, for $US3.2 billion ($3.4 billion).
Packer is one of several major investors in the Beats Music outfit.
No doubt it was a day he won't forget any time soon.

King County says they'll pilot a floating island at Hicklin Lake in White Center
Friends of Hicklin Lake have been talking with King County politicians and scientists for months about having five floating islands installed at the heavily polluted body of water that, decades ago, used to be a favorite swimming hole for White Center locals.
It looks like their calls were finally heard, at least in part, since King County has announced plans to pilot a single island and monitor its success before committing further.
Floating islands are "Mother Nature's way of cleaning polluted water by planting native vegetation on man-made islands," Dick Thurnau of Friends of Hicklin Lake wrote recently. "Microbes attach to the vegetation roots (which) … devour the contaminants."
Today, most do not go near the water. It has tested positive for a slew of contaminants over the years, including fecal coliform (aka human feces) since King County diverted drainage from the Salmon Creek Basin into the lake in 1965. The lake has no natural outlet, so those contaminants pile up. There is also plentiful algae growth that gives the water a green hue – not the most inviting for recreation.
On August 9, King County Department of Natural Resources and Parks (DNRP) director Christy True told Thurnau in an email, "We have done a great deal of research on floating islands and would like to pilot one island in Lake Hicklin. We may not be able to install it for budget reasons this year but will include in in next year's budget. We want to get experience with one island and do some monitoring to see how it works."
While one might assume King County's plan to pilot an island is a victory for Thurnau and fellow Hicklin crusaders, they are concerned the plan is destined for failure.
The proposed pilot project
"One Floating Island will not compete well with the quantity of pollutants in Hicklin Lake," Thurnau wrote in response to the county's plan. "As an overly cautious experiment, a single island may lead you to draw incorrect conclusions."
Sally Abella, a freshwater ecologist and senior engineer who researched the floating island concept for DNRP, said that while she understands Thurnau's concern, there are funding restraints and scientific safeguards involved in the decision to go with one instead of five to begin.
Financially, Abella said the islands range (each) from $11,000 on the low end to $36,000 for a mechanized version that speeds along the filtration process, but the overall costs including installation and the need to get electricity to the islands (with the more expensive versions) would raise the price "considerably more."
Abella said there were also a few questions about the scientific data provided to King County from Floating Islands International, the manufacturer they have been working with, including how effective they are in reducing phosphorous levels (which is Abella's target, and key in reducing algae blooms). She said the company was also unable to provide clear reasoning for their estimate of five islands.
Based on those facts, Abella said King County wants to try one island and plans to set up numerous monitoring stations radiating from the island to the shore, so they can monitor phosphorous levels near the island and far away – a process she believes will produce clear data as to whether they should buy and install more. DNRP does not expect one island to cure Hicklin's pollution woes, but wants to make sure floating islands are the correct path.
Abella said floating islands have been around since the early 90s, but do not have a track record with urban lakes in Washington State, so this would be new for the area.
As mentioned above, Abella hopes the islands will be successful in leaching phosphorous from the water, taking away a vital food source from the blue-green algae blooms she wants to avoid. Certain blooms can carry toxins that are dangerous to human and animal health, Abella said, although Hicklin is currently testing negative for that type.
An alum treatment done in 2005 was successful in killing off the algae blooms for about five years, she added, but another done in 2011 did not have the same effect. Floating islands might be a good alternative.
So what happens if North Highline gets annexed to Burien?
"The other factor is annexation," Thurnau said of DNRP's plan to, most likely, implement the pilot program in 2013. "I think they are just stalling until they find out what happens there."
DNRP Deputy Director Bob Burns said Lakewood Park and Hicklin Lake will not automatically fall under Burien's purview if annexation passes, but an affirmative vote would be followed shortly by meetings between Burien and King County. Burns said the county's basic policy is to transfer ownership of local parks inside cities to that city. History, he said, leans towards Hicklin Lake becoming part of the Burien Parks Dept.
The big picture: To swim or not to swim?
Abella said her goal is to get Hicklin Lake as clean as possible, but there are limitations due to its size and location.
"It's a different watershed now," she said. "One of the reasons that this lake is the way it is is because of the way development proceeded (in the 1960s). There were not storm water controls when it happened and the engineering idea at that time was to get water off of the property as quickly as possible when it rained, so they directed storm water … into Hicklin Lake.
"That is a difficult thing to reverse … it appears that a lot of work that has been done in the watershed has reduced the amount of bacteria in the storm water and the lake has been pretty free of fecal choloform bacteria for some years now.
"From a bacterial point of view, it is probably safe to swim," Abella added, "however, the county no longer has a beach or swimming program, they don't have lifeguards on any lakes … so just from a policy standpoint they won't be promoting swimming there anymore."
She said history shows Hicklin had high bacterial counts back in the 1960s, when people were swimming there all the time.
"It is partially a public perception that the lake is a lot dirtier now. It is not necessarily completely true that it is dirtier than it used to be, but it is a small urban lake, so it's not the same as a high mountain lake and it never will be."

Trace and TracePrint are close to what you want. They don't delve into
internal functions and functions that have the Attribute ReadProtected.
Maybe there are other limitations that I don't know of. Both have various
Options with which you can filter the output, and without them they are
usually producing tons of output that's hard to read. It takes a while to
learn how to make good use of them.
Also, keep in mind that the Trace*-functions are useful for debugging rather
than understanding how mathematica evaluates certain expressions...
