Bishop THOMAS Visits Holy Spirit Church + Huntington, WV
On April 17-18, 2010, Bishop THOMAS made his annual pastoral visit to Holy Spirit Church in Huntington, West Virginia. Sayidna THOMAS was consecrated bishop of the Diocese of Charleston, Oakland and the Mid-Atlantic in 2004, and this was his first visit to Huntington that did not involve discussions of building planning and construction.
In 1999, our parish made the decision to sell our church building, which had been our home since the early 1970's, and move to a new location. Being a community of fewer than 100 members, it was a huge challenge. The existing property, however, was in need of significant renovations and concern was raised over the decline of the surrounding residential neighborhood. The church property was placed on the market for sale and a committee was established to raise funds and search for a suitable location. In a surprising move, a buyer was found for the current church building before a new location could be agreed upon. In the spring of 2000, the parish voted to accept a purchase offer and moved into temporary quarters that were graciously provided by Fifth Avenue Baptist Church. The parish utilized this chapel for the next three years.
In 2001, in order to encourage the parish to move ahead with planning and free up additional funds for construction, parishioner Richard Dixon was ordained to the Holy Priesthood, taking the name of John. He would continue his secular employment until the parish could once again afford a full-time priest. On August 1 of that year, he was assigned as pastor of Holy Spirit. That same month, parish Deacon Mark Hagan was ordained to the priesthood and assigned as pastor of St. Mary Antiochian Orthodox Church of Iron Mountain, Michigan.
In May 2002, the parish purchased two tracts of property located at Woodhaven Drive and 5th Street Road totaling 2.4 acres. In the spring of 2003, Bishop DEMETRI blessed the property and construction commenced in May. By Christmas of that year, the building was completed and the parish family moved into their new home. After serving almost four years as part-time priest, Fr. John was able to resign from his secular employment and became full-time priest in May 2005.
Our goal in constructing the church was to return to a fully functioning church for worship. This required that space for the church school and a social hall must be delayed, with only a small multi-purpose hall being included. In 2005, Bishop THOMAS consecrated the church and returned the holy relics to the altar. Although there was much desire to construct the social hall and church school addition, it appeared that the next phase would be many years in the future. A parish tragedy, however, served as an impetus to continue.
In 2008, Sarah Saad, daughter of Julian and Jihad Saad, fell asleep in the Lord after a courageous fight with cancer. Sarah had coordinated several of the Paschal feasts in our cramped social hall and one of her great desires was to see a more spacious hall constructed. In her honor, several parishioners began raising enough funds to begin construction. In 2009, a social hall accommodating 240 people was completed, with existing space converted into space for the church school, office, and a library.
After these busy years of focusing on construction and keeping the parish united, Bishop THOMAS' visit this year took on a very different character. Since completing our construction projects, parishioners have expressed a desire to move beyond the walls of the church, particularly in obeying Christ's command to serve the "least of the brethren." Sayidna joined us on Saturday at the Huntington City Mission where parishioners provide lunch on the third Saturday of the month. Holy Spirit is also a member of the Christian Associates, which operates a downtown food and clothing pantry. Fr. John has served as president of Christian Associates for the past two years. Additionally, the parish has a long standing commitment to Information and Referral Services, providing funds for utility payments for low income residents. Sayidna encouraged us to continue these outreach efforts and even suggested that we organize a walk-a-thon to support additional outreach activities.
Following the Sunday Hierarchical Divine Liturgy, Sayidna visited with Bishop GEORGE and the brethren of the Hermitage of the Holy Cross (ROCOR) in Wayne, WV. Since moving to the Huntington area in 2000, the monks have become an invaluable part of the Orthodox community. Vladyka GEORGE was consecrated an auxiliary bishop in 2009 and lives at the monastery. This was the first time to two hierarchs have had a chance to meet and everyone was edified by their warm exchange.
Sayidna's visit was a grace filled weekend. We hope to fulfill his parting admonition to "continue to reach out to the people of Huntington with prayerful faithfulness and neighborly love."
Fr. John Dixon

(I write this piece with a bit of trepidation as I don't know how it will be taken, but I mean it with the very best of intentions and wishes for my ex-colleagues.)
Looking over the list of my FaceBook friends, I am struck by how many of those I connected with during my brief assignment with WSO2 (Aug-Dec 2011) have moved on to pursue graduate programs of study at US universities. Just like Macquarie Bank in Australia was once called "The Millionaire Factory" for making so many employees rich through bonuses, this little company is rapidly becoming an Intellectuals' Factory. If they succeed in staying in business over the next decade, they will have seeded some very powerful and influential links in academia and the higher levels of the technology world.
Which brings me to my main point - does WSO2 have what it takes to survive the next decade? I believe they do, and not just survive but also move up to the next higher level. But to do that requires a kind of thinking I have not seen from the company's leadership so far.
For at least the last five years, I have been searching for a "next-generation SOA company". I thought I had found it with WSO2, but was quickly disappointed when I realised that this was a company with traditional SOA thinking and only a next-generation business model (free software and paid-for support). That's not quite what I was looking for, and to me, it explains why WSO2 hasn't yet hit the big time in spite of a decent product suite and some very smart, sincere and hard-working people. They're just not revolutionary enough for the market to take notice.
OK, so what do I have in mind?
The view of SOA as being ultimately about SOAP-based Web Services in its implementation (OK, and some REST as well) is so last-decade. That view of SOA, I am convinced, is actually toxic to organisations. The impacts of that kind of SOA to agility and cost are entirely negative. (I have numbers to prove it but I could be sued by more than one ex-employer for breach of confidentiality, so you'll just have to take my word for it.)
If you sell traditional SOA with a different business model, you're not even half revolutionary. You're an interesting sideshow to the main game, and when the traditional SOA model gets discredited, as it largely has already, you get washed away in a way the IBMs and Oracles don't because of their size. (Which is a pity because I simply hate the IBMs and Oracles for what they have done to the industry - milked customers while providing them no benefit.)
My view of SOA is simple - it's "dependency-oriented thinking", and it applies to every layer of the organisation - Business, Applications, Information and Technology. Unfortunately, every SOA guru, after paying ritual obeisance to the notion that "SOA is not technology", proceeds to insult our collective intelligence by discussing Web Services technology (or lately, REST). It seems we just need to look away for a second after someone says SOA is not technology, and we find they're talking technology when we next look!
Similarly, I have a very jaundiced view of the term "SOA governance" as it is popularly applied. I suspect most SOA experts wouldn't be able to define the term in a readily comprehensible manner if they were tied to a chair and threatened with a copy of Lotus Notes. I also suspect most of them use the term "governance" for effect when all they mean is plain old "management".
My definitions of governance versus management are also simple - "doing the right thing" versus "doing things right" - in other words, the "what" versus the "how".
And so, "SOA Governance" is nothing but the process of determining the right dependencies that ought to exist at all layers (Business, Applications, Information and Technology) and identifying the dependencies that do exist. "SOA Management" is about using these as a starting point and eliminating the dependencies that should not exist, formalising the ones that should exist into contracts, and ensuring that fresh dependencies do not creep in. That's all there is to SOA governance and practice, but the benefits are significant and will not escape attention.
I talk about all this at some length in my InfoQ interview. [Update 29/11/2012: I've now also written a white paper on it, which interested folk can download from box.com.]
I talk about all this at some length in my InfoQ interview. [Update 29/11/2012: I've now also written a white paper on it, which interested folk can download from box.com.]
There is so much potential for a truly SOA-enlightened consultant to enter a client organisation and point out all the areas of tight coupling that are driving up their costs and risks and driving down their agility. Heck, if all that the consultant did was concentrate on tight coupling at the data layer, so much wasted potential could be unleashed. That's the power of SOA in the right hands.
What I want to see in a next-generation SOA company is an organisation that is not fixated on technology but on education and consultancy, because it's SOA thinking that is so badly in need of a reboot. WSO2 is full of smart people, but they're focused on the wrong thing. It's not technology they need to be tinkering with. They need to apply their screwdrivers to the minds of IT and business folk at all levels. They need to hire fewer nerds and more business-savvy consultant types trained to think about dependencies. People with backgrounds in risk management, project management and contract law are especially good at thinking about every kind of dependency or "fine print" that could trip up an undertaking, and these are the kinds of people needed for SOA consultancy.
Admittedly, that's a bit hard to do when you do technology too well. Perhaps WSO2 ought to start by setting up a consultancy arm (which isn't focused on selling their own technology support services), getting that division to drive SOA thinking from the business layer down, and then watching it outgrow its older sibling as customers start to see its dramatic impact.
Can they rise to the challenge?

ALA provides a public awareness campaign, "@ your library®" to help educate the public about the value of libraries.
The Campaign for America's Libraries is a multi-year public education and advocacy campaign sponsored by the American Library Association and libraries across the country to speak loudly and clearly about the value of libraries and librarians in the 21st century. It is designed to showcase the unique and vital roles played by public, school, academic and special libraries nationwide.
The Campaign for America's Libraries was developed in response to research that shows that 1) libraries are popular but are often taken for granted; 2) libraries are rooted in nearly every community, including schools, campuses and businesses across the country, but are often not visible; 3) libraries are unique but are challenged to articulate that uniqueness in an information age transformed by new technology such as the Internet.
The campaign targets the general public-parents, children, students, senior citizens, business people; educators, school boards and administrators; policy makers and opinion leaders; librarians and those who are considering the library profession; the media; and strategic partners. All types of libraries have embraced the campaign, highlighting their unique programs, services, and technologies and telling their own exciting stories.
Some statistics:
• Last year, nearly 2,500 libraries of all types used tools from the "@ your library®" campaign to promote their services in their community.
• In 2009, ALA placed Public Service Announcements valued at more than $2 million in national magazines such as Entertainment Weekly, Sports Illustrated, Sports Illustrated for Kids, O, the Oprah Magazine, People, TV Guide, U.S. News and World Report, Parents, Redbook, Glamour, Ms., Prevention, Vogue, and more.
• The "@ your library®" brand is being featured on the back panel of Safeway-brand cereal boxes available in approximately 1,500 stores in the U.S.
• The "@ your library®" logo is available for download in twenty-five languages.
Media Relations
ALA works to increase the visibility of libraries, library workers and library issues through our Public Information Office.
- Last year, ALA placed stories about the surge in library usage in economic hard times on NBC Nightly News, CBS News, The Wall Street Journal, Huffington Post, MSNBC, and CNN. housands of libraries participated in Banned Books Week resulting in stories in the Huffington Post, Seattle Post, Chicago Tribune, New York Times and PBS NOW.
- ALA works with celebrities to serve as honorary chairpersons of National Library Week (Julie Andrews, Jamie Lee Curtis, Neil Gaiman) and Library Card Sign-Up Month (Candace Parker, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Dwyane Wade).
- The ALA Youth Media Awards receive extensive national media coverage including reports in USA Today, New York Times, the Today Show, and National Public Radio. ALA and YALSA arranged radio interviews throughout the country to promote Teen Read Week.
- ALA worked with Univision Radio to air Spanish-language PSAs about the value of libraries and librarians in 13 of the country's top Latino markets – Albuquerque; Austin, Texas; Chicago, El Paso, Texas; Houston; Fresno, Calif.; Las Vegas; Los Angeles; New York; Miami; Phoenix; San Antonio, Texas; and San Francisco.
How you can get involved
Many divisions have committees that focus on public awareness for particular parts of the profession. You are invited to volunteer for these committees, along with the ALA Public Awareness Committee, to participate personally in this work.

National Priority Setting
Throughout 2005-2006, National Priority Setting Workshops were held in 17 partner countries. These workshops contributed to the process of strengthening the national chemicals management infrastructure by providing a forum in which countries were able to define a realistic set of priorities, secure high level commitment to planned activities, and consider linkages to SAICM implementation. In order to provide suggestions to partner countries, UNITAR's Guidance on "Organizing a National Priority Setting Workshop" was updated to reflect the latest developments in international thinking on national capacities for the sound management of chemicals and wastes, including information on the international discussion on synergies for capacity building. This guidance will be further refined to include SAICM outcomes and activities. Download
These countries also developed/updated a National Profile, as well as National Chemical Safety Websites that are "owned" by all relevant stakeholders and that contain information such as the country's National Profile, information on ministries and stakeholders, and information on chemical safety activities in the country.

In critical theory, and particularly postmodernism, a metanarrative (sometimes master narrative) "is a global or totalizing cultural narrative schema which orders and explains knowledge and experience" (Stephens 1998, p.6). The prefix meta is used to mean about, a narrative is a story, so a metanarrative is a story about a story.
The term is best known for its use by Jean-François Lyotard in the following quotation: "Simplifying to the extreme, I define postmodern as incredulity towards metanarratives" (1984). By this, Lyotard meant that the postmodern condition is characterized by an increasingly widespread skepticism toward metanarratives, such as the unique status of the individual, the boundedness of information, and the march of progress, that are thought to have given order and meaning to Western thought during modernity.
The meaning of metanarrativeEdit
A metanarrative can include any grand, all-encompassing story, classic text, or archetypal account of the historical record. They can also provide a framework upon which an individual's own experiences and thoughts may be ordered. These grand, all-encompassing stories are typically characterised by some form of 'transcendent and universal truth' in addition to an evolutionary tale of human existence (a story with a beginning, middle and an end). The majority of metanarratives tend to be relatively optimistic in their visions for human kind, some verge on utopian, but different schools of thought offer very differing accounts...
Example metanarrativesEdit
- Many Christians believe that human existence is innately sinful but offered redemption and eternal peace in heaven - thus representing a belief in a universal rule and a telos for humankind.
- The Enlightenment theorists believed that rational thought, allied to scientific reasoning, would lead inevitably toward moral, social and ethical progress.
- Marxists believe that human existence is alienated from its species being, although capable of realising its full potential through collective, democratic organisation.
- An uncritical belief in the free market and trickle down effect is open to metanarrative interpretations, though not as blatantly utopian as other metanarratives.
- Categorical and definitive periodizations of history, such as the Fall of the Roman Empire, are rejected by postmodernism. Other periodization schemes include the Dark Ages and [Renaissance.
Modern skepticism toward metanarrativesEdit
According to Jean-François Lyotard, a defining condition of postmodernity is a widespread skepticism or "incredulity" toward metanarratives (1984). Lyotard and many other poststructuralist thinkers have viewed this as a positive development for a number of reasons. First, attempts to construct grand theories tend to dismiss the naturally existing chaos and disorder of the universe. 'Metanarratives' ignore the heterogeneity or variety of human existence. They are also seen to embody unacceptable views of historical development, in terms of progress towards a specific goal. The latent diverse passions of human beings will always make it impossible for them to be marshalled under some theoretical doctrine and this is one of the reasons given for the collapse of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s.
Replacing grand, universal narratives with small, local narrativesEdit
Metanarratives have lost their power to convince, according to the advocates of postmodernism, – they are, literally, stories that are told in order to legitimise various versions of "the truth". With the transition from modern to postmodern, Lyotard proposes that metanarratives should give way to 'petit récits', or more modest and "localised" narratives. Borrowing from the works of Wittgenstein and his theory of the "models of discourse" Lyotard constructs his vision of a progressive politics. He envisages a progressive politics that is ground in the cohabitation of a whole range of diverse and always locally legitimated language games. Postmodernists attempt to replace metanarratives by focusing on specific local contexts as well as the diversity of human experience. They argue for the existence of a "multiplicity of theoretical standpoints", rather than grand, all-encompassing theories.
Is postmodernism a metanarrative?Edit
Lyotard's analysis of the postmodern condition has been criticized as being internally inconsistent. For example, thinkers like Alex Callinicos and Jürgen Habermas argue that Lyotard's description of the postmodern world as containing an "incredulity toward metanarratives" could be seen as a metanarrative in itself. According to this view, post-structuralist thinkers like Lyotard criticise universal rules but postulate that postmodernity contains a universal skepticism toward metanarratives. Thus, the postmodern incredulity towards metanarratives could be said to be self-refuting. If we are skeptical of universal narratives such as "truth", "knowledge", "right", or "wrong", then there is no grounds for believing, the "truth", that metanarratives are being undermined. Perhaps postmodernists, like Lyotard, are not offering us a utopian, teological, metanarrative, but in many respects their arguments are open to metanarrative interpretation. They place much emphasis on the irrational, though in doing so apply the instruments of reason. Postmodernism is an anti-theory, but uses theoretical tools to make its case.

The Chinese government just announced they've made a breakthrough in nuclear fuel reprocessing technology that would increase the reuse rates of nuclear fuel by 60 fold. Though nuclear power remains a touchy subject in the United States, countries around the world — like France, the UK and Russia — are turning to it as a ready-for-the-market technology that can wean them off coal-fired power plants in order to reduce emissions. Reprocessing, disposal and mining are at the top of the list of nuclear energy concerns, but if China's new breakthrough proves fruitful it could help to diminish the problems that arise with all three.
At present 70% of China's energy comes from coal-fired plants — that's a lot of energy driven pollution — and they are making strides to change that number. The country currently has about 10 gigawatts of nuclear energy generation capacity and hopes to increase that to 40 gigawatts by 2020. However, at that increase rate — and with current technology — China's supply of uranium would only last them 50-60 years. As Chinese Central Television noted, "with the new technology, China's existing detected uranium resources can be used for 3,000 years." This new development has Chinese authorities bringing their 2020 nuclear energy generation mark up to 80 gigawatts.
Costs, technology and the threat of nuclear weapons proliferation have impeded the use of nuclear fuel reprocessing in the past. Though the Chinese government is holding close the secrets of how exactly this new technological breakthrough works, it would definitely solve the second problem on that list. They've announced nothing about the cost of the technology but if it truly extends their uranium resources 3,000 years, it would possibly have a payoff down the line — however expensive it might be now. Opponents of nuclear power state that uranium mining is extremely destructive, and while this technology could greatly reduce it, it doesn't solve a lot of their other concerns. We'll have to hold tight until we see the scientific merits of this new reprocessing technique before we jump on board. Nuclear power is historically an extremely touchy process and adding a complex element to its production could open a whole new door to nuclear power plant disasters.

Media Statements & Speeches
Statement: January 20, 2011Docket No. AD02-1-000
Statement of Chairman Jon Wellinghoff on RTO ISO performance metrics
"I thank each of you for being here this morning to discuss your 2010 ISO/RTO Metrics report. Your cooperation with FERC staff in development of the performance metrics that form the basis for this report and your work in developing the data for the metrics is very much appreciated. In my time here at the Commission, I have seen that operation of transmission systems and markets by ISOs and RTOs provide positive benefits to consumers. You keep the lights on for about 75 percent of the electricity customers in the country, but you also ensure that these lights are illuminated by competitively-priced power. This report is an opportunity to provide information to the public in a comprehensive way on the array of values that RTOs provide. These values include a reliable transmission grid; transparent, competitive and efficient wholesale electric market performance; and effectiveness in controlling costs and meeting the needs of consumers. The report also documents the role of the ISOs/RTOs in meeting customers' public policy energy objectives. These objectives include facilitating development of renewable energy resources, demand resources and energy efficiency.
These reports will be a valuable addition to the information that is already available to the public. Other pertinent material regarding ISO/RTO performance includes:
- The comprehensive financial and operating report submitted to us for electric rate regulation and financial audits in the FERC Form 1which must be filed by all jurisdictional public utilities;
- FERC's triennial analysis of entities with market-based rate authorization for any ability to exercise market power;
- The State of the Market reports of each ISO/RTO;
- FERC's State of the Market report; and
- The various regional initiatives and performance measures used by the individual ISOs and RTOs.
The total body of this information validates not only the transparency and efficiency of these organized wholesale electric markets, but also their continuing value to consumers. I look forward to your presentations. I believe Mr. Whitley will introduce the report."

At the bottom of cedarbergkloof (about 20-30m from the junction with Lower Tonqauni) on the true left is a bunch of written up routes, but I can't find the most obvious line in the RD. When you scramble up towards Golden Balls, you'll see a little cave to your left, about 10m up from the river. This is surely the cave described in Cedarberg Corner. The problem is this is just about the only thing I recognise in the description. Some of the other route descriptions in the area mentions bits and pieces I can recognise, but they all threw me off by completely wrong grades or mentions of roofs, traverses and loose rock or distances that doesn't make sense.
So, here is a description of what I'm talking about. I would appreciate it if someone recognises it and tell me whatever you have to tell about it. I think it is a brilliant and obvious route that deserves a proper writing up.
From the cave mentioned in Cedarberg Corner, climb straight up through the cave, exiting it slightly to the left. Climb straight up just right of a corner (small left face facing Lower Tonquani) on good rock with good friction, passing 2 or 3 small trees and a piton or 2). Eventually you'll see a positive smooth slab with a biggish crack running straight up it towards the left. The slab faces lower Tonqauni and I've climbed it before, but the rock above it is a little loose and unpleasant. Eventually you'll get to the left edge of the face that hosts Golden Balls's last pitch. Here you'll find a really good layback crack with great hex placements. Above that it get easy enough to scramble to the top. You can reach the top in one long rope length pitch if you can manage to minimise rope drag. The line is pretty straight up and the quality is really good and consistent. I would guess the grade at 14 maybe 15 and I reckon it is over all a better climb than Golden Balls.

Re: straightlining cedarberg corner
Sounds like Cederberg corner, just follow the super clean rock to the top after stepping left at the Cave. Best 12 in the Kloofs if you ask me. You can step left at a really good jam crack higher up and pull through a roof if you want to add some spice. There is no point in ever scrambling out of Frog gully ever again.
Re: straightlining cedarberg corner
Cool, thanks Ian. The map in the guide is wrong then, because it shows the route down stream of golden balls. And the description has too many traverses in it for my liking. It also doesn't mention the nice layback crack at the top. Maybe it was lost in 30's climbing talk translation. I see at the bottom is a note mentioning a variation straight up the cave. The guide grades it as a 10! We sure did get soft (and you just said 12 to sound bad ass, admit it ). Ok, I'm happy and I agree it is the best way to get out.

Today I'm loving … these ottomans from Danish design label Hay. The ottomans are made from antique Indian saris, each sari carries its own history which is transferred to the ottoman.
The ottomans are available in two sizes.
Hay also has some beautiful antique quilts in their collection which are made from four to five layers of vintage saries hand tacked together

He recently wrote THE IMPACT! BODY PLAN and he conducts Mastermind Groups for trainers worldwide.
Men's Health recently named his gym, Fitness Quest 10, one of the Top 10 Gyms in the US. For more information on any of their programs, please visit http://www.FitnessQuest10.com or http://www.ToddDurkin.com.
For more information on any of his programs or to sign up for Todd's FREE award-winning Ezine newsletter, the TD TIMES, please visit http://www.FitnessQuest10.com or http://www.ToddDurkin.com.
The purpose of this logo design is for a membership site for personal fitness trainers that are part of my "Todd Durkin Mastermind Institute." These are all trainers that are looking to create high levels of success in business and in life and are from all around the world.
We connect all virtually via video conferencing, teleseminars, emails, and an annual meeting.
I would like to have a distinguishing logo so that when they log into their website, they have a "logo of distinction" that only they are part of. This is something that they would even be able to put on their website as it shows they are part of an association that stands for excellence in all areas of life.
The purpose of this logo is to create a "badge of honor" or crest that they are associated with something special. The Todd Durkin Mastermind Institute stands for: excellence, world class, best-in-class, honor, integrity, passion, motivation, education, inspiration. The purpose of the Mastermind is to motivate, educate, and inspire greatness every day for fitness trainers.
If you had to characterize its approximately 150 members or character traits in 4 words:
I see the logo or "badge" having a strong Platinum & blue color to it. It should be the same blue that exists on http://www.ToddDurkin.com. Can have gold hues in there as well as we have Platinum Members and Gold Members but would like to make them all feel like one big important team.
Somewhere in the middle of the logo, crest, badge, or "ribbon", the words "Todd Durkin Mastermind" need to be present. Maybe highlight the "T", "D", and "M" in the name as we often play off the name "TD Mastermind." We do need to spell out entire name though.
I see it has a "rich" feel to it. I possibly seeing it having an "antiquated" feel to it somehow. Since Todd has many years experience as both a business owner and trainer, this logo should represent PRIDE, experience, and wisdom.
Feel free to be creative and think outside the box!

Here are today's highlights over at the CNS World Youth Day blog and on the CNS homepage for WYD stories:
— Today's big World Youth Day event, as most of you know, was the opening Mass. Cindy Wooden, our correspondent traveling with the pope from Rome, wrote our main story, and two of our bloggers have further reflections on the Mass and on Sydney.
— Paul Haring, our Washington-based photographer in Sydney, also has dozens of images from the Mass that our publishing clients can access as part of their subscription. We can post only a few of them on our home page, our main WYD page and on our two blogs (main and WYD), but here's Paul's photo of cardinals silhouetted by the setting sun as they arrive at the altar for the opening Mass.
— Dozens of pilgrims are at World Youth Day from China. Dan McAloon's story says they were ecstatic to be there.

As of 9 p.m. on Wednesday, more than 635 flights out of O'Hare had been cancelled and delays averaged more than an hour. Midway reported weather-related delays of 30 minutes or more. A lake effect snow warning remains in effect until 3 p.m. on Thursday for Cook and Lake counties in Illinois, and Lake County in Indiana, where additional accumulations are expected overnight and on Thursday.
All across the city, folks were shoveling, brushing and muddling through the New Year's snowfall. The city's entire fleet of 287 snow-fighting vehicles were on the streets all day and night Wednesday, and private contractors were busy as well.
"Cold. Snowy. Surprised it's actually snowing this much because we haven't had snow like this in awhile," said Bulmaro Jacobo.
Many started the New Year by the lakefront, on foot, on bike, and even on skis. Getting around by car was no easy feat.
"The main streets are clear. The side streets are a little tricky right now, but staying on the main streets, trying to get where I'm going and get out this bad weather," said Jerard Burton, motorist.
Kelly Collier spent New Year's Eve in Chicago and was gassing up for a long drive to Pittsburgh.
"Tires are a little questionable. While we were on clear roads, we've been testing it out a little bit, hitting the brakes. A little nervous, a little nervous about it," said Collier.
Though most businesses in the Loop were closed, sidewalks were bustling with cleanup crews.
For snow removal contractor Israel Moreno, all the white stuff means green.
"Too much work. Too much snow. Too much cleanup. Everywhere," said Moreno.
Chicago Streets and Sanitation says it did hit some of the side streets Wednesday, but with the snow still falling, it's focused right now on the main roads. Officials are urging drivers to be patient behind the wheel.
Northern suburbs dig out from New Year's snowfall
The City of Evanston declared a Snow Emergency between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. for Thursday, January 2 and Friday, January 3, 2014 and a Snow Route Parking Ban for Thursday, January 2. In north suburban Gurnee, the snow kept coming down on Wednesday night.
"It keeps piling up, it does not stop. Started last night, long day. It's all right. I'm on vacation. This is what I get to do," said Gene Rados, Gurnee resident.
With at least a foot and counting on the ground, resident Doug Egan tried to find the positive as he shovels the driveway for the third time today.
"It's very light snow. It pushes through real easy and easy enough to lift and get in a six-foot pile," said Egan.
It's also been a long couple of days for the folks entrusted with clearing Warren Township's residential streets.
"It hasn't been terrible, except for the duration. We worked late last night, come in early today and worked late tonight and will come in early tomorrow, that don't give much time for sleep," said Jerry Rudd, highway commissioner in Warren Township.
Roads everywhere have been snow covered. Plows have been hard-pressed to keep up. On the Tri-State Tollway near Lake Forest, some motorists pulled over just to get a break from it.
"The roads are really bad. We're headed to Milwaukee from Chicago. It's pretty bad out there. Luckily we are in a four wheel drive and that helps a lot," said Dino Korjenic, motorist.
In places like Wadsworth and Beach Park just north of Waukegan, more than a half a foot had fallen by Wednesday afternoon, and the snow totals were expected to rise. Meanwhile, plenty of families were out enjoying the weather with their children, sledding in Highland Park.
"A lot of fun. I don't know how to describe it, it's just a lot of fun," said Sally Mallin.
"It's really steep and really fast and you get a lot of snow in your face," said Mari Radtke.
And in Skokie, Dwight Samuelson was digging out his driveway and sidewalk.
"First time I have used my snow blower this season. It helps but I still have to use the shovel to keep it clean," said Dwight Samuelson.
On the Edens, snowy pavement sent cars into ditches as roadside crews helped stranded drivers. The Illinois Department of Transportation had 375 trucks out salting and plowing, but drivers still had a tough ride on the roads.
"On a scale of 1 to 10 they're pretty bad, at least a 9 or 10 on the bad side," said John Piotrowicz.

birdie18 needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 31 designs submitted by 6 freelance designers.
i actually run a helicopter tourism operation, one of our pilots has purchased a house on a golf course and we have fitted it our with a full green poker table, and there is a helipad nearby on the course where we fly clients in.
our audience for this brand is small groups of 8 or less who like golf, playing cards, drinking wine and possibly can afford helicopter transfers. They are all male, or groups of couples.
the logo wants to be simple but incorporate these key elements of the house
1. birdie18.com.au (text)
2. golf (imagery)
3. playing cards i.e. poker (imagery)
4. helicopters (heli model is "Robinson 44 Raven", which has a distinct
design, do a google search so you source the correct image outline.
5. Wine (not a pre requisite, but if it can fit.)
i want the logo to be modern and funky and fun, not too corporate, colours are up to you, i don't want the imagery to be too detailed, but i do want it to be easily recognisable and stylised.
the logo has to fit a certain size requirement which is basically an elongated rectangle, as we are using our template website
see the heli experiences logo on the front page here for example
we need vector art eps and a high res jpeg.

Hopefully A New Path Forward For Cycling In Malibu
I disagreed with her initial approach toward targeting cyclists, some have expressed stronger words for it. But as I mentioned in comments, I wanted to extend the opportunity for diplomacy even though I made my self very much a part of the offensive effort against the content of the page. Working toward promoting safety on PCH can only benefit from cyclists being involved. I do not think Tellem herself should be overly vilified in this, her comments reflected what are very common undercurrents of mode bias in our culture. What made this time different than a random person on the internet, was this was a public figure overseeing matters of safety in a place many of us ride through. However many of her past deeds and statements suggest she is certainly not an uncaring person, and she has spent a lot of effort criticizing unsafe driving in Malibu in other forums as well. I don't doubt that her interest in safety on PCH is sincere and her strong support and advocacy for tortoises and wild life protection are certainly worth commending. In case you didn't know, I like turtles.
We came in fast and loud asserting our positions, and we have their attention now, but I don't think much good can come from continued arguments on the facebook page. Lets try and transition into constructive solutions mode.
I'll be talking to Tellem tomorrow about arranging a meeting with cyclists. From my experience, sitting down and talking about cycling, in a real meeting, is most effective at resolving disagreements. I'll post more details about further developments as soon as I find out more.
7 comments:
Let me know how it goes. I left a comment on her Facebook group offering to talk with her as well.
I do believe she is serious about improving safety on PCH; I just think she's looking at it through the typical windshield perspective, without an understanding of what's safe and legal for cyclists.

I'm pretty speculative, since a number of people were asking her to meet and talk, and it took her a long time to even acknowledge any request. (And the only one she acknowledged was yours.)
I hope she is really interested in safety and not just launching an attack to criticize cyclists.
Her page was pretty insulting, and it was directly insulting to all who cycle. Frankly, she owes cyclists an apology. She made a blanket insult of calling us criminals, rude, and insinuating many other things about us. This is basically along the lines of Don Imus insulting the Rutgers Women's Basketball team.
I'm glad she took the page down, but I'm wary about working with some one who doesn't seem to care that she directed very insulting comments at us.

Kudos to you and the many cyclists who left insightful and diplomatic comments on the original FB page. I was impressed! Good luck with the meeting and please let us know how it goes.

Hey Gary, what happened with this?
- July 15, 2010 at 10:40 PM
- Gary said...
So current status of the situation is facebook page is down. Tellum has agreed to meet along with other parties from safety commission and possibly sheriff. She has touched base with myself and Ted Rogers. We have been figuring at who should be at the meeting and when to have it, and Rogers has been doing a lot from his angle with LACBC such as finding registered members within Malibu who would be interested in being a part of the discussion.
Nothing firmly solid just yet, but I'm hopeful things are going in a positive direction.
Also the LA Times is doing an upcoming story on PCH road safety and the reporter was directed to contact me by Tellem, for a cyclists perspective on the issue. I'll be talking to the reporter tomorrow.

I�ve been suffering using a lots of lessen back again soreness not long ago and a pay a visit to for the health care provider only resulted while in the normal recommendation of taking soreness killers. So, 1 Friday early morning, I was doing the job at your house after i actually was in discomfort. I searched for a neighborhood therapeutic massage institution and found a person about twenty minutes away. I manufactured an appointment for that afternoon, had a fast shower, and headed over there. It absolutely was component of a Chinese drugs shop and an aged Chinese lady welcomed me, supplied me an herbal tea, and confirmed me with the shop in to the massage room. I used to be pleasantly astonished to check out an extremely really Chinese female all around 19 yrs old. The wall contained plenty of certificates displaying the masseur�s skills.I�ve been struggling having a large amount of decrease back again suffering not long ago along with a visit for the doctor only resulted within the usual advice of getting ache killers. So, a single Friday early morning, I had been doing work at home once i definitely was in suffering. I searched for an area therapeutic massage institution and located just one about twenty minutes away. I built an appointment for that afternoon, had a quick shower, and headed more than there. It had been portion of a Chinese medicine shop and an elderly Chinese lady welcomed me, supplied me an herbal tea, and showed me from the shop to the massage place. I had been pleasantly stunned to determine an extremely rather Chinese woman around 19 several years old. The wall contained plenty of certificates showing the masseur�s skills.
She placed on a really relaxing meditation CD and requested me to undress. As soon as she still left the space, and that i took every thing off besides my boxers shorts. She knocked around the doorway following a couple of minutes and arrived back again in, inquiring me to lie on my abdomen around the therapeutic massage desk and relaxation my head within the gap in the leading. She warmed some oil and commenced massaging my shoulders. Her fingers had been so gentle, it felt fantastic. Steadily, she labored her way down my physique in the direction of my reduce back again exactly where I'd all of the discomfort. I defined this to her and he or she stated it might be very best to get rid of my boxers in the event she received oil on them; I lifted myself up and he or she eased them off. I've to mention, that at this time I used to be so calm my cock was nonetheless semi-soft, even though as she pulled my shorts off I questioned if this could go additional. She carried on massaging my reduce back again with company strokes and even though it harm relatively, it started to simplicity as I felt the knotted muscle tissues unwind.

About 45% of annual global supplies come from Russia. In recent years, about two thirds of Russian supply was newly mined, with the balance coming from stocks. Between 2005 and 2011, Russian exports from inventory averaged 900,000 ounces per annum, or about 11% of total world demand. In 2012 that number shrank to about 250,000 ounces, representing only 3.3% of global demand. Although the actual size of the Russian stockpile is a closely guarded state secret, industry analysts believe that there are little or no stocks remaining.
There are new mining projects that will eventually produce more palladium, but we are talking about 10 years down the road.
To complicate matters, serious labor strife in the world's second largest supplier has debilitated some key mines in South Africa. Strikes at Anglo American Platinum Ltd. mines have caused the company to pare back production, eliminating a significant amount of production from the market. The company is in talks with the government about closing some mines indefinitely, but either way, supply will be curtailed for the foreseeable future.
As a result of these supply issues and growing demand, there was a global supply/demand deficit of 915,000 ounces in 2012, a complete turnaround from a 1.26-million-ounce surplus in 2011.
Palladium prices have increased substantially vis-à-vis platinum prices since mid-2009. Where substitution is an option and the cost is an issue, platinum might have priority. Chart 2 shows that palladium prices were much higher in the early 2000s, but then again, the explosive growth in auto catalyst demand may have only been facilitated by much lower palladium prices we saw between 2003 and 2009. So demand could prove to be elastic to some degree, especially if prices continue to rise.
We believe, however, the recent selloff was an overreaction to the general drop in metal prices. The instability of supply lines from both Russia and South Africa remains the dominant issue. South African mine production will not grow anytime in the near future. And if Russia has indeed depleted its stocks, we will be looking at another global supply/demand deficit in 2013
Prices will need to move much higher to incentivize infrastructure investment. Even so, in the near term, supplies will remain very tight, and we expect prices to rebound back to the highs and beyond.
Buy June palladium. Places sell stops at $650 per ounce, basis June, close only. This is a very illiquid market. We recommend a conservative trading approach.

Storage | News
Oxford University has implemented a hybrid
scale-out network-attached storage (NAS) system to support its high-performance
computing (HPC) center for research.
According to Andrew Richards, head of the
Advanced Research Computing
(ARC) Centre at Oxford, the center doesn't have a large IT support staff
available at all times, so they needed a solution that offered "manageability,
load balancing and performance monitoring," he said in a prepared statement. The
solution also needed to be compatible with a range of HPC systems already in
place at the center.
The university selected the
ActiveStor 14
hybrid scale-out NAS system from Panasas
with 330 TB of storage. According to the company, the system provides the
university with "a single pool of storage under a global name space." The
technology is based on a fifth-generation storage blade architecture, uses a
combination of high capacity hard disk drives and solid state drives and runs
the Panasas PanFS storage operating system. According to information on the
company's site, the ActiveStor 14 system is suitable for environments requiring
high capacity and throughput.
The ARC Centre provides researchers throughout the university with access to
HPC resources, including distributed memory, shared memory and
graphics-processing unit (GPU)-enabled HPC clusters. According to the company,
the ActiveStor 14 system will provide university researchers "with the storage
required for home areas, general purpose mid-term projects and high-performance
short-term jobs."

"This provocative post highlights current business paradoxes challenging leaders: change or remain stable, complexity versus simplicity, growth and sustainability and more."
After seeing evidence of our increasingly VUCA world, one that is growing in its Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous characteristics, this useful list of paradoxes resonates. Does it resonate to your experience?
Leaders must find ways to deal with this complexity and embrace and manage it to achieve simplicity.
Paradox 1: growth versus sustainability
Growth as it is currently defined tends to result in an unquestioned and unchecked consumption of resources. Sustainability considerations are generally considered to put a major strain on growth ambitions.
The way forward is innovation, but another paradox present itself:
Paradox 2: innovating versus operating
Innovation is increasingly about service, process, business model and social innovation.
However, focusing on innovation does not mean ignoring operations. The trick is that what allows operations to thrive can seriously get in the way of innovation and vice versa.
Paradox 3: change versus continuity
If you try to innovate too many things at once you will end up with chaos, if you do not change at all your organisation will decline. What is the right balance?
Paradox 4: collaboration versus competition
Business is inherently competitive yet today, collaboration is common, with most companies having collaborated with their suppliers and their customers. Leading companies are promoting collaboration through crowdsourcing or with competitors.
Paradox 5: complexity versus simplicity
Demands on leaders result in increasing levels of complexity, arising from the number of possible, unpredictable interactions between collaborate, compete; change, remain stable; innovation or operational excellence; growth or sustainability. Leaders must find ways to deal with this complexity and embrace and manage it to achieve simplicity.
Paradox 6: Heart versus mind
Decisions need to be made in the face of incomplete analysis, unpredictable outcomes and changing circumstances. The foundations for analysis and factual arguments differ from emotional and visionary engagement; people who excel at one are not necessarily particularly good at the other and yet both are needed.
