10 Editor-Approved Blazers To Promote Your Work Wardrobe
With the menswear trend in full effect this season, there is an assortment of great styles to choose from. Keep reading for my top ten picks!
Lawrie Blazer ($795) in Anthracite
Never underestimate the power of a gray blazer. It softens up an all-black outfit, plays nicely with other shades of gray, and perfectly balances bright colors.
Seamed Lapel Blazer ($825) in Black
This boxy evening jacket will look great thrown over a slip dress worn with ankle boots.
Vine Bloom Open Front Jacket ($158) in Blush/Rose/Black
A tailored jacket doesn't have to be dark—or all that tailored. Case-in-point: this floral print style evocative of a kimono.
Hollywood Wool-Crepe Jacket ($1,905) in Blush
There's an element of '40s Hollywood glamour to this blush, double-breasted version by Rick Owens. I'll be wearing it with floor-grazing pajama pants and t-strap pumps to play up that vibe.
Pinstripe Wool Blazer ($750) in Dark Gray
An oversized, pinstriped jacket is practically begging to be cinched at the waist with a vintage leather belt.
Single-Breasted Veste De Canotier ($2,890) in Black
White piping gives this jacket a borrowed-from-the-boys-meets-English prep school vibe.
Blazer ($520) in Dark Blue
I'll pair this loose crepe version with navy trousers and stacked heel oxfords.
Lisanne Jacket ($495) in Med Navy
This cropped ladylike version has a bit of that folk look I love so much right now. It's great for the weekend styled with a slouchy t-shirt and boyfriend jeans.
Nowton Jacket ($1,850) in Black
This blazer is all business! The nipped-in waist and longer length are a touch Edwardian, so I'll balance the proportions with a sleek stiletto heel.
Velvet Applique Blazer ($60) in Black
This coat is a bit heavier than a classic blazer and completely in line with the marine trend, making it the perfect transitional piece.

Central Theater in downtown Geneseo will be closed temporarily so digital projection and handicap accessibility upgrades can be made.
Central Theater in downtown Geneseo will be closed temporarily so digital projection and handicap accessibility upgrades can be made.
The movie theater will be closed for renovations Nov. 19 to Nov. 29.
Structurally, portions of the building will be changed to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
"The slope from the lobby into the auditorium is too great. To make matters worse, it's a slope that leads to a door threshold, a double 'no-no' as far as ADA is concerned," explained Scott Himmelman, the Geneseo Park District's superintendent of facilities.
The slope will be modified to meet ADA recommendations.
Doorways leading to the theater's auditorium also are too narrow and will be widened as part of the renovations.
"The changes should make accessibility easier for everyone," said Himmelman.
A special ADA emergency exit will be installed on the west side of the theater and a handicap accessible concession area also will be created.
Cathelyn Construction of Geneseo is the contractor for the ADA accessibility changes at the theater.
At the same time, the theater will upgrade from 35-mm to digital projection.
"In 2013, they will stop making 35-mm filmstrips," said Himmelman.
In order for Central Theater to continue to show movies, an upgrade was needed.
"With 35-mm, we receive the film in big canisters. The studios only make so many film prints because they're so expensive, so we sometimes have to wait weeks to get a movie," said Himmelman.
With digital projection, movies arrive at theaters on external hard drives. Compared to 35-mm, the digital films are much less costly to manufacture.
"We should be able to get movies here quicker," said Himmelman.
The change to digital projection might result in Central Theater screening more opening night movies.
The new digital projection also should change the visual quality of the movie.
"It should be like watching high-def TV," explained Himmelman. "The grainy spots associated with 35-mm film should disappear.
"We also shouldn't have as many technical difficulties, because our projectionists will no longer have to splice the actual film together," he noted.
"Along the way, we'll also be upgrading our sound system from 5.1 to 7.1 The changes will result in a clearer picture with clearer sound."
Though Central Theater is operated by the Geneseo Park District, the facility is owned by
Central Bank.
"Central Bank has assisted with funds for these projects," said Himmelman.
In addition, the park district received a special grant for the digital upgrade. A stipulation with the grant funds requires the theater to be open seven days a week.
"We will be adding Wednesday and Thursday show times," said Himmelman. Movies will be shown at 7:10 p.m. on those evenings, starting after the theater re-opens on Nov. 29.
"We'll still have our bring-your-own-bowl popcorn Mondays and we're considering adding a Thirsty Thursday event," said Himmelman.
Though no official changes have been made, park district officials also are considering changing Saturday night movie times from 8 p.m. to 7:10 p.m. If the change is enacted, Central Theater films would start at 7:10 p.m. each night of the week.
"We've been conducting a survey, and we're finding most people would prefer the Saturday movie to start earlier," said Himmelman. "However, we've not made any decisions on that yet."
The public is invited to an open house at Central Theater from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Dec. 6. The open house will be held in conjunction with the Geneseo Chamber of Commerce's Business After Hours event.

The Pierre-Berge-Saint Laurent Foundation announced the death of Algerian-born Yves (Henri Donat Mathieu) Saint Laurent, world-renowned fashion designer and YSL Beauté's namesake, due to prolonged illness. Laurent, who was born on Aug. 1, 1936, died at age 71 in his hometown, Paris, on Sunday, June 1, 2008.
In the 1950s, Laurent inspired the high fashion world, following the footsteps of his mentor, Christian Dior, whom he served as an assistant until Dior's unexpected death in 1957. After Dior's passing, the House of Dior named Laurent its head designer, spurring the young artist's fantastical view of fashion. Haute couture enthusiasts welcomed Laurent's first collection at age 21, based on the trapeze. In 1962, the Yves Saint Laurent company was founded in Paris. Through couture peacoats and men's tuxedo "smoking" jackets for women to casual sportswear, fragrances, makeup and skin care, Laurent helped bring Parisian style to the forefront of the industry, attracting celebrities such as Catherine Deneuve and Lauren Bacall. Laurent stirred controversy in 1971 when he appeared nude in an advertisement for YSL, his men's cologne. However, his revolutionary push toward women wearing pants became one of his most noted contributions to fashion.
In 2000, the Gucci Group (owned by French conglomerate PPR) acquired Laurent's ready-to-wear and fragrance brands, and two years later, Laurent retired. In January 2008, L'Oréal entered into a strategic agreement with PPR for long-term exclusive worldwide license to use the Yves Saint Laurent brand name. However, YSL remains the property of PPR.

West GA Mud ParkPosted in Events on February 28, 2014
Since you have been reading Mud Life you've heard me say it plenty of times before that West Ga Mud Park is straight-up legit. It has taken the mega truck scene by storm, and not just in Georgia, but nationwide. The park has been open for about two years now and has trucks traveling from all over the nation to hit their events. Mud Life magazine and 4x4cross has covered about three of their events; the park has hosted two Mega Truck Challenges and has also hosted a Trucks Gone Wild bash. That, ladies and gentlemen, is what I call gettin' your crap together and doing some work!
The park's owners, Joey and his brother Lance, are both great guys. I have to say that when it comes to the park, they've done everything right so far. They just can't seem to stop upgrading the park too. I remember the grand opening around December 2011. The park was sick back then and nicely set up for all kinds of mud action motorsports events. The buildup over the past two years has included the new and huge back half of the property, which has basically doubled the park's size. The back of the park includes an obstacle course race track and a professional stage that was built for the live national acts that perform at the big events. We also can't forget to tell you about the concrete grudge match pullin' pad that was built. I'm sure there's more I'm missing, but now you have a good idea of what goes on here.
Twenty bucks says you've also heard of the insane dam jumping that goes on at the park. There are pictures floating around of straight-up sick air from mega trucks that makes monster trucks make look like child's play! The dam jump was designed by accident too. The land is contoured so they had to make a terraced sort of dam setup for a few of the mud holes. A huge dam on the bottom side of the main area is a retaining wall for the big pond. Don't quote me here, but I think the famous Air Mundy was the guy who came up with the idea to try and jump the thing. That jump was quite possibly the best idea ever, since it now draws a huge crowd. The dam jump is probably my favorite thing there other than the tuggin' pad.
The Mega Truck Challenge Weekend is always packed with action too. The trucks have to battle through four different competitions. The drivers gain points for each. The top five place for money and a Yukon Gear & Axle Throttle King Qualifying spot. Friday night the competitors had to grudge-pull on the pad and on Saturday run the Hill N Hole and side-by-side drags. Taking a break in the action Saturday night, there was a sick concert and party with the Georgia Boys on stage. Sunday finished off with the obstacle course race. Finishing Fifth and Fourth was the husband and wife team from Louisiana Sue and Shawn Goodeaux in Cajun Sling and Warrior. Kyle Adams got Third Place in Down N Dirty, Al Abercrombie Second Place in Balls Deep, and John Gordon First Place in Bone Collector.
The West Ga Mud Park holds about four truck events a year as well as ATV events. Trust us when we tell you to get there for at least one of the events.
Special Thanks:

Regrettably .. my Disqus experiment is over
I've unfortunately had too much feedback that it is just too (friggin) hard for the casual commenter. Bash me upside down, isn't it?
I hope the Disqus folks to manage to improve the interface to remove any barriers to adoption, because I still do look forward to the day we can wave goodbye to forums, and bring in an era of universally connected discussions!

I haven't had any problems or complaints. Of course, I may not have as many commenters as you do. I've also used Disqus at other sites without having to sign up (entering my name, email, website, just like most other sites) and it wasn't any harder for me. Were your issues integration-related problems with blogger?
- Paul said...
Hi Dan, I can't really say for sure, but from the personal feedback I got, it seemed like a "straw that broke the camel's back" problem. Disqus appeared to add one too many complexities to the commenting process and people skipped over.
I may just have been posting crap at the time, but turning on disqus coincided with quite a drop-off in commenting.

|The Four Courts, western aspect.
Also, be sure to visit the National Library of Ireland's excellent online exhibition:
|From my collection of ephemera: A 'postcard' view of the damaged Four Courts.
Changes to the PRO Act in 1876 gave the COI parishes the option of having their registers returned to them, so those registers could be kept in local custody, so long as they could prove they would provide safe storage, and a number of parishes exercised this option. If you want answers about exactly which Church of Ireland parish registers are extant, then you need to visit The Representative Church Body of Ireland website.
The civil registration of non-Catholic marriages began in 1845. In 1863, bills were introduced in Parliament in order to change the law governing civil registration in order to include Catholic marriages, along with all births and deaths. Thus, beginning in 1864, civil registration included ALL births, marriages, and deaths on the island of Ireland. The Irish were legally compelled to register, and subject to fines if they failed to do so; however, this does not mean that everyone followed the law. Sometimes registrations were late, with dates of events changed to avoid fines, and some people simply did not register these life events.

Elton John Dedicates China Concert to Political Critic Ai Weiwei
Elton John may have just played his last show in Beijing. The singer dedicated Sunday night's (Nov. 25) concert in the Chinese capital city to controversial artist Ai Weiwei, who has used his art to bring the world's attention to injustices committed by the Chinese government.
The Associated Press reports that the pop singer and Weiwei met before the concert, something the recently-detained man confirmed on Twitter. "I super like him," he tweeted (translation: AP).
John has often mixed politics with music and this isn't the first time he's spoken his mind in a communist state. Earlier this year he was honored for helping Poland's anti-communist movement by playing a concert there in 1984. At the show he praised Lech Walesa, who was leading the charge to bring down General Jaruzelski. Walsea would eventually become president of a democratic Poland.
Ai Weiwei's story became worldwide news after his detainment, when he was forbidden from leaving China to attend an Oct. opening of a retrospective of his art in Washington D.C. On Monday he was named as a candidate for Time Magazine's Person of the Year 2012.

This example installs Access Manager SDK, using a copy of Access Manager that is already installed on a remote host.
To use this sequence example, also refer to known issue 6293225 in the Sun Java Enterprise System 5 Release Notes for UNIX.
Before you install Access Manager SDK, the Access Manager core services must be installed and running on a remote host. The web container information and Directory Server configuration information that you provide in this installation example must match the web container and Directory Server configuration information that you provided during installation of Access Manager core services.
When the installer asks for information about the remote web container and Directory Server, default values are displayed based on the local host.
Do not accept the default values; use them only as examples of format. Instead, you must supply the correct information for the remote host.
The installer does not allow you to configure the web container when you are installing only the Access Manager SDK.
The following high-level tasks are required:
Checking the installation sequence guidelines
Check to see what guidelines apply to this example and make adjustments as needed.
Checking the installation prerequisites

Solaris: AccessManager-base/SUNWam/bin
Linux: /opt/sun/identity/bin
By default, many settings are commented out in the amsamplesilent file. Uncomment only the following settings:
Modify only the following parameters in the amsamplesilent file:
DEPLOY_LEVEL should be set to 4.
SERVER_HOST and SERVER_PORT should be set to the host and port of the full server which will be used by Access Manager SDK.
DS_HOST, DS_DIRMGRPASSWD, and ROOT_SUFFIX should be set to the hostname, directory manager password, and root suffix of the Host A Directory Server.
ADMINPASSWD and AMLDAPUSERPASSWD should be set to the amadmin and amldapuser passwords used on Host A.
AM_ENC_PWD should be set to the password encryption key used on Host A. For the Access Manager SDK, use the same encryption key for AM_ENC_PWD as the encryption key specified during the remote installation of Access Manager on Host B. Use one of the following commands to obtain this value:
Solaris: grep pwd /etc/opt/SUNWam/config/AMConfig.properties
Linux: grep pwd /etc/opt/sun/identity/config/AMConfig.properties
WEB_CONTAINER should be set to the corresponding value for the web container being used.
BASEDIR should be set to the install directory used during the Configure Later installation of Access Manager SDK.
AM_REALM should be set to Enabled if realm mode is used on Host A, and Disabled if legacy mode is used on Host A.
Find the settings corresponding to the web container that will be used for the SDK and modify these settings with the details of the web container. For example, if WEB_CONTAINER is set to WS (Sun Java System Web Server), then you should modify the settings which are prefixed by WS_ (WS_INSTANCE , WS_HOME, WS_PROTOCOL and so on.)
As root, use the edited amsamplesilent file to deploy Access Manager.

Most states, counties, and local governments budget for one year at a time. Nineteen states and a small number of localities adopt biennial budgets. In these cases, a two-year budget will be approved during one legislative session and relatively minor adjustments may be made the following year.What is the difference between the federal Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and the Congressional Budget Office (CBO)?
The OMB is an executive branch department that prepares the President's budget proposal to Congress. The CBO is a non-partisan agency that serves Congress by providing its own objective analysis of the President's budget proposal. The CBO also estimates the budgetary impact of other legislation that comes before Congress.What is the difference between the budget and a financial audit?
The budget is a forward-looking plan that specifies what a government intends to do during a fiscal year, how much it will cost, and how it will be funded. A financial audit reports on financial activity that has already taken place and assesses whether that activity is in compliance with all rules and procedures.

The Central Connecticut women's lacrosse team was picked fourth in the annual preseason poll of the Northeast Conference's head coaches. Fourth place is the highest the NEC's coaches have ever tapped the Blue Devils in the preseason poll.
Defending NEC Champion Monmouth was selected first in the poll and collected eight first place votes. Quinnipiac, which shared the NEC regular season title last season, was tapped to finish second and garnered a pair of first place votes. Mount St. Mary's was the third team picked ahead of the Blue Devils.
Following Central, were Robert Morris, Sacred Heart and Bryant. Wagner, Saint Francis U and LIU Brooklyn filled the bottom of the poll.
The 2013 CCSU squad will feature many of the key contributors to 2012's record setting season. The 2012 season saw the Blue Devils tie the school record for wins in a season with seven and set a new record for NEC victories with five. CCSU's fifth place finish in the NEC standings was also a high water mark for the program. Following the season, new head coach Kelly Nangle, was named NEC Coach of the Year, another first for CCSU lacrosse.
"I am very excited about the 2013 season and proud of the consistent hard work and effort that our student-athletes have been bringing every day," Nangle said on Wednesday. "Being selected fourth in the preseason poll is a sign of positive progress for this program, but our goal is to be among the top four teams at the end of the season and reach our first NEC Tournament."
On the field, seniors Betsy Vendel, a Second Team All-NEC selection last year, and Meaghan McCurry will lead the offense and seniors Ali Roche and Cierra Ward will anchor the defense.
Vendel enters 2013 second on CCSU's career points list with 167. Vendel has posted point totals over 50 in each of her first three seasons. McCurry is also high on the CCSU career points list. Her 132 points rank fourth all-time entering 2013. With 99 career goals, McCurry is likely to become the third player in CCSU history to reach 100 for her career.
Roche and Ward, along with junior Ashley Olhausen, will be expected to lead the defense for the second consecutive season. The trio accounted for 79 ground balls and 57 caused turnovers last season.
The Blue Devils also return starters Caitlin Karner, Mackenzy Ryan, Claire Healy, and Amanda Toke. Karner and Ryan are seniors and Healy and Toke are juniors.
The Blue Devils open the season on February 22, at Lafayette. The home opener will be played at Arute Field on Feb. 27, against #18 Stony Brook. CCSU will play seven home games this season, including four NEC games.

Last night's supper was delicious AND fast. That's not a combination that happens by chance in my household. Most of our meals are delicious….they just tend to take a while to cook. The time that a recipe takes has never before been a criteria when I was choosing our meals.
That has changed. Now that John and I are both working at home, there is extra incentive to try to minimize the dinner prep time. All three kids (and us, I admit) are a bit crazy by 5:00, so the faster that we can get through supper and bathtime, the better.
The new weekly gluten free menu plans over at the Cooking School are FAST recipes. According to the author's note*, all can be made in less than 20 minutes if you're comfortable in the kitchen and prep foods as you're cooking. Believe it or not, he's right. Unlike certain 30 minute meal cookbooks that I've tried, these meals are fast and simple to make. And they use seasonal ingredients and pretty standard pantry items (standard, at least, for a GF kitchen that doesn't use a lot of processed foods). That means that the meals are pretty easy on the budget too. This was the first week that I cooked off of the menu, and I spent much, much less at the grocery store than I usually do.
(*We're cooking through Mark Bittman's Kitchen Express cookbook.)
Here's what we've had so far this week:
GF Pasta tossed with pickled peppers, green olives, and marinated artichokes. This was not a flavor combination that we would typically eat, but it was delicious. I really enjoyed having something different for supper. And the only cooking that was required was boiling the pasta. We ate this as a main dish with a side salad, but it would have been really good paired with grilled chicken, too. ( I forgot to take a picture of this one, and it was gone in no time!)
Tuesday night I baked up some GF sub rolls and we ate Po'Boys. Since we're vegetarian we had fried tofu rather than fried shrimp, and vegan coleslaw rather than the shrimp bisque.
If you bake the bread earlier in the week (I try to do all my bread baking on Sunday), then this would be a pretty easy meal to put together. I tried to bake bread and take care of and feed sick babies and a sick husband and this meal took a while to put together, but I think that was entirely my fault.
Doesn't that bread look great. It's the Gluten Free Sandwich Bread baked into a hoagie shape.
Wednesday night's meal was AMAZING. So simple and so tasty. I made a double batch so that we'd have leftovers for today's lunch, but I spied John having seconds late last night, so that plan may be scuttled. For those of you who have never cooked tofu, I'll post a short tutorial in the Cooking School section. It's very easy, and so much nicer than working with raw chicken. Of course, you could always substitute chicken in this recipe and I'm sure it would be very good. We served this over rice and it is seasoned very simply with garlic, ginger, GF tamari (or soy sauce) and rice vinegar. So yummy!
I've started ordering some of my groceries from a local online grocery and I love being able to see the exact price of what is in my shopping cart as I add new items. The site saves my shopping cart, so I can leave the list up for an extended period of time to make sure I haven't forgotten anything or to give me time to rethink the menu if I'm spending too much. They also deliver the groceries to our house the next day for a minimal delivery fee. It sure beats spending an hour or two at the grocery store each week!
The online market's selection of produce is not as varied as I would like, so I'll also do shop for fresh produce at a nearby supermarket a couple of times a week. However, my goal is to not by anything but fresh produce when I'm there. We'll see how that goes!
Below, we've listed a few sample gluten-free menus–to give you an idea of what a week of gluten-free cooking might look like!
Sometimes a girl just needs some indulgence time. And after a week of everyone being sick with high fevers, that's what I'm hoping this coming week will be. I really want to curl up on the couch with a good book and a plate full of Chinese take-out. I took care of the book situation today with a big trip to the library. And I'll be taking care of the Chinese cravings with a week full of Asian-inspired recipes. This menu is a mixture of family favorites and recipes from other bloggers that I've been dying to try. Vegetarian substitutions are listed in parentheses for those who are interested.
I did my grocery shopping for the week and spent $113.91. I hit Whole Foods first for soy milk, tofu and any veggies under $1.99/lb and then stopped by a local chain grocery store for most of the dry goods and the remaining veggies. I try to check my grocery receipts as soon as I get in the car and today that paid off big time. The Whole Foods cashier has rung up 3 items incorrectly! I took the receipt back into the store and the help desk gave me the correct price on one item and then gave me the other two items for free. The total refund ended up being $13.33.

text: Monsanto Wins Patent Case against DuPont August 24, 2012 10:05 PM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Farm Journal Editors Email A federal jury has awarded Monsanto Company a $1 billion settlement in a patent infringement lawsuit the company filed against DuPont regarding Roundup Ready seed technology. The settlement is the largest U.S. jury verdict for 2012 to date. The jury found that DuPont willfully infringed upon Monsanto's patent for glyphosate-resistant seeds, by stacking its own glyphosate-resistant trait into its Optimum GAT soybean seed along with Monsanto's Roundup Ready trait. The 2002 licensing agreement in question stated that DuPont could use Monsanto's Roundup Ready trait, but that DuPont did not have the right to stack the trait. "The court ruled that the Monsanto and DuPont license agreements are unambiguous and do not grant Pioneer the right to stack the Roundup Ready trait with the Optimum GAT trait," says Scott Partridge, chief deputy general counsel for Monsanto. "DuPont negotiated and signed a contract with a specific set of rights, at the financial terms they preferred, and the rights did not include making this stacked combination." Monsanto filed the suit against DuPont in 2009. DuPont, meanwhile, alleges that Monsanto improperly filed its patent and will appeal the verdict, according to Thomas Sager, DuPont senior vice president and general counsel. "DuPont believes that the evidence presented during the trial demonstrated clearly that Monsanto's Roundup Ready soybean patent [RE 39,247] is invalid and unenforceable," Sager reports. "Further, DuPont believes that the damages awarded of $1 billion are unjustified, particularly considering that Pioneer has never sold a single Optimum GAT seed and has no plans to do so in the future." Sager adds that more details will be presented to a new jury as part of the DuPont antitrust and patent misuse case against Monsanto in September. Back to news

Russian Thistle in North America
Allyn Brosz, e-mail message to Michael Miller, February 2010.
What a great story! I've been collecting information on the Russian thistle for some time and have an article lurking in the back of my mind.
The GRs are credited/blamed in most accounts for introducing the Russian thistle to North America. Most botanical sources think that it came over in contaminated flax seed and took root on the prairies of Dakota. However, one contemporaneous account in the Chicago Daily Tribune (CDT) alleges that the GRs used straw for packing material in their trunks. When they arrived in the U.S., being the thrifty souls that they were, they saved the straw to feed to their cattle, rather than burning it. The CDT goes on to say that the thistle was propagated when the Dakota farmers began to sell beef cattle on the Chicago market. The railroads bought straw from the local farmers and used it as fodder for cattle in the rail cars. When the cars were cleaned at the Chicago stockyards, the thistle seed took root again. By the 1890s this had become a major problem in the Chicago area, and the papers were calling for government intervention. Just before the end of the 19th century there was actually a Russian Thistle Subcommittee of the U.S. Senate Committee on Agriculture. One of the senators from Minnesota introduced a bill to appropriate $1 million dollars for the eradication of the Russian thistle and resistance to this proposal caused the entire appropriation for the U.S. Department of Agriculture to be blocked for a brief time.
As Jim says, the Russian thistle became a valued commodity in the Dirty Thirties. A gentleman from southwestern Minnesota (the Luverne or Pipestone area) modified a baler so that farmers could package the weed for cattle fodder.

Our Great Irony: Market Stalinism and Jeremy Hunt
February 27, 2013 Leave a comment
By Patrick Lee
Picture it. You're a university lecturer teaching a course on Modern American Fiction and you're conducting your own research into, I don't know, the conception of protest in different generations of alternative narratives. I don't know, it doesn't matter, any example will do. OK, so you have a desire and a passion to teach. You're looking forward to the course. Now you have to submit a 'module specification', listing all your 'aims and objectives', which will be assessed at the end of the course; then you have to provide a 'modes and methods of assessment' form; then at the end of the course you have to provide an assessment of your performance and the module's strengths and weaknesses. Then you have to provide some paperwork on how the course will be improved next year. Then you have to submit your four best pieces of published research as part of the Research Assessment Exercise. This is just the start of the paperwork.
Or, as I recently was, imagine you are visiting a dying person in a state funded hospital. In my case we had to plead, and finally insist, that more morphine was given to the patient due to their agony and our distress. Morphine has to be administered by two nurses. This process has to be monitored, and recorded. The patient, dying, in bed in the middle of the night, swimming in and out of consciousness, surrounded by family, then had to be stripped naked, and re-clothed. This was a fundamental procedure, despite the fact she had less than a few hours left to live. A box had to be ticked. The change of clothes did nothing to help the patient's physical state. The bureaucracy was of detriment to the service. The nurses who changed her were private nurses.
I've worked in kitchens where a tick box focusing on what to clean and how to clean it was actually damaging to the process of keeping the kitchen as clean as possible. I've worked in restaurants where waiters were given scripted lines to say to customers. I've worked in call centres where every line of conversation, every bathroom break, and every glass of water drunk, was monitored and recorded so I could assess my own performance levels.
On the surface it, a focus on bureaucracy seems antithetical to the neoliberal, free market liberal democracy of Western hegemony. The appeal of neoliberalism is that it is the opposite of Stalinist centralised government. It encourages free market growth and empowerment of the individual to achieve in a competitive workplace, rather than serve the interests of the state. Neoliberalism should therefore, theoretically, attempt to abolish Stalinist paperwork and bureaucratic procedures. In the West only the market rules, and those who participate in it are individuals who can succeed or fail as they see fit. So, the obvious question is: why all the bureaucracy? And does it benefit anyone?
Think back to the examples of the dying patient in hospital, or of a teacher wanting to lecture his students. Are these students consumers or products of a privatised education institution? This question becomes very tricky and, as you try to work it out, try to imagine you are looking at it from the perspective of free market entrepreneur: how can the education (or health) system generate as much money as possible? The difficulty comes in the fact that these forms of labour are difficult to quantify. An ideal market produces swift transactions, where demands are met directly by an institution. But now we need to monitor this institution in order to maintain that transaction. More management is needed to regulate and mediate on performance of the hospital or school. Boxes must be ticked, evaluations completed in order to preserve the illusion of all round smooth transactions. Performance of the institution must be evaluated and judging the performance of a school, or of a hospital, or a police station, where it is difficult to bracket customers and pigeonhole results, necessitates a lot of awkward, boring and possibly unnecessary questions and observation.
Please note, however, that it is only the appearance of the institutions that actually matter. You will notice that during this evaluation the needs of the customer have become secondary to the needs of the market. More effort must now go into preserving the appearance that work is being done on improving services, rather than actually improving those services themselves. And so we witness the introduction of targets, which everybody knows by now are bad for business. We can all, I'm sure, think of examples of the failure of targets. I immediately remember practising for my GCSE exams, and asking my maths teacher to explain in more detail the reason for applying a certain formula to get certain results (I think it may have been why Pythagoras's theory worked, or why in order to find 1% of something I divided by 100). Instead of having the rule explained to me, I was just told to remember the rule, as that's all I would need for my exam. This wasn't necessarily bad teaching. My teacher simply had limited time to make sure his students got the best exam results possible, and to ensure that he therefore scored highly in his own assessments from management. I, however, never really learnt the truth behind certain maths problems: only the exam mattered, only the illusion that I had a grasp on Pythagoras. Targets become ends in themselves rather than empirical measurements of performance, and the customer suffers.
The result if what contemporary philosophers and social scientists refer to as market Stalinism. Stalin wanted the world to see communist industry at its best and so pushed development of projects until their progress was hampered by his goal-orientated ethos. The White Sea Canal project is the best example of this form of Stalinist industry, and is comparable to how markets are managed in the contemporary neoliberal West.
However, as work has become decentralized and the onus is on individuals to constantly re-evaluate and demonstrate their skills in ever changing work spheres, it becomes the responsibility of the worker to monitor their own performance. As Foucault described with his panopticon metaphor, when a person does not know when they are being monitored, they act as if they are being monitored constantly. As a worker in a decentralized market it is only your responsibility to continue to monitor your own performance and progress, or to fail. Consequently workers will now be expected to find something wrong with themselves, in order to have something to improve upon. Working to a "satisfactory" level is no longer actually satisfactory.
This bureaucracy, the measurement of unquantifiable data in order to try to derive profit, is the price we pay for free market liberal democracy. And what does that provide us with? The answer is ostensibly economic growth, the satisfaction of human needs, the growth of technology and victory of man over nature.
In the instance of unquantifiable and essentially humanistic or egalitarian aims, however, the bureaucratic process clearly does not work. A compromise must be found, and the first step must be in addressing what liberal democracy provides human beings. Rousseau argued that technological advancement did not make humans happier, but rather more miserable. Human needs are only very basic, according to Rousseau: food and shelter from the elements, and not much more. Technological advancement and economic growth may in fact hinder the most vital human instincts. So long as the desire for exponential growth still exists the bureaucratic procedure in the world of work will rule, as it is the way of monitoring the market. However, in the instance of the NHS, or humanistic institutions, these procedures are damaging. Compromise must be found. Jeremy Hunt's Statutory Instrument 257 is the next step in the Tory coalition government privatising the NHS, opening up doctor's records to the private health companies, and further adding a new layer of damaging bureaucracy onto the health system. In order to fight against bureaucracy and the damaging nature of self-evaluation, a new collective political subject must emerge. The first step is in fighting the total privatisation and bureaucratisation of the most fundamental institutions.
A petition against Hunt's privatisation measures can be signed here

Obama has shown that he will stretch the bounds of the executive order and indicated that should congress block his agenda in a second term he will use this tool even more.

Embattled actress Amanda Bynes has cut ties with her parents.
The Hairspray star took to her Twitter.com page on Thursday to tell followers she is no longer in contact with her parents, Lynn and Rick, after they allegedly went public with their concerns for the actress.
She tweeted, "I don't speak to my parents anymore, they don't talk to reporters on my behalf. Don't believe anything you read about me unless I tweet it. My friends don't speak on my behalf either. Please don't read anything about me needing help. That offends me."
It is believed the 27 year old was responding to a new tabloid article suggesting the Bynes were "very upset" about recent reports on their daughter's mental health.
The star has sparked concerns for her wellbeing following a string of legal woes, eccentric behavior and bizarre tweets.

Watching movies can certainly be an emotional experience, but so can making them. When people pour their heart and soul into their job it can be emotionally taxing. Sometimes, however, your co-workers just drive you to break down. That's apparently what happened to John Ottman, the editor on the Tom Cruise World War II drama Valkyrie. Apparently, the star would come in and work with Ottman in the editing room, then writer Christopher McQuarrie would come and make changes to what Cruise had done, which would then be followed by director Bryan Singer making more changes. Eventually the constant changes would cause Ottman to break into actual tears in frustration. According to the editor...

This post appeared on December 9th, 2008 as a part of the Career Corner Advice Series.
The Career Tracks exercise is the best way to see what jobs are out there that resonate with you. It is real, it is current, and it is relevant.
In late November, Meg talked about The Four Lenses activity created by David Schachter at the NYU Wagner School of Public Service. The goal of the Four Lenses activity is to give you a framework to think and talk about what exactly it is that peaks your professional interest. Once you figure out what lens (or lenses) through which you view the nonprofit sector, the Career Tracks exercise (also developed by the amazing David Schachter) is a great next step to take. This exercise is in for parts:
Part One: Data Collection
Look at online or newspaper job postings, and copy or cut out any posting (a "clip") that appeals to you either by (A) the type of organization or by (B) the job description. Remember, the only criteria you are using to select clips are either organization or job description. The location of the organization or job should not be an issue for now. Nor should the pay range, qualifications, experience, or any other aspects of the job be a issue. The point of this search is not to explore jobs for which you are qualified. Rather, you are looking at jobs and organizations that appeal to you.
By broadening your search outside of the area where you live (or plan to live) as well as searching jobs outside of your qualifications and pay demands, you get a much fuller sense of the opportunities that are out there. For now, you are not concerned with finding a job with a ten minute commute. Repeat this activity until you have at least 50 clips. The more you collect, the better. Remember, when collecting, you do not evaluate along the way, you just collect ideas. Once you have a minimum of 50 clips, continue to the analysis phase.
Part Two: Analysis
Take the clips out of your folder and see if you can find any patterns or common themes. Points to look for might include: issue, population to be served, approach to the work, geography, kind of organization, unit or department within an agency, and role and responsibilities. For example, you might notice that a large number of your clips focus on direct service with homeless teens and adults, and most of the organizations you are drawn to are large organizations located in urban areas.
Part Three: Synthesis
Using the data gathered from your collection and analysis phases, create at least one and no more than five potential career tracks for yourself. A career track is a way to put parameters around and frame your potential career interests, and can include any of the following attributes that have meaning for you: issue or field of interest, approach to the work, kinds of organizations that do this work, roles that you aspire to play, and requirement of skills, experience, education, and knowledge to fulfill those roles.
Take stock of your qualifications and experiences as they relate to your potential career tracks. Your track should inform which groups you join, the people you seek out, the internship/job experiences you look for, and how you present yourself in a resume, cover letter, and interview. (See Chapter Eight for more advice on cover letters and resumes, and Chapter Nine for a discussion of interview techniques.) Remember to reflect along the way to determine if this track feels like a good fit for you. If it does, continue on this path. If not, seek out additional tracks.
Part Four: Application
After you identify your possible career tracks, draft a different resume for each position you identify that fits into each of the tracks. This can be an entry-level position or a "dream job"; the point of drafting a mock resume is to get a clear view of the skills, experiences, and qualifications (which can include certifications or licenses) you will need in that particular job. Now, fill in the resume with the skills, experiences, and qualifications that you already have for the position. Look at any areas that are blank. Do you need more management, direct service, fundraising, professional, and/or educational experience to qualify for a job on this career track? If yes, start to explore ways to fill those blanks. Whatever the blanks are on your resume, you can find a time and place to fill them. While it is unrealistic to fill all the blanks in all of your resumes in a relatively short amount of time, many of the skills you wish to have should be transferable between resumes.
Ideally, you will have at least 12 months for the Career Tracks process. Realistically, you will only have three to six months. See Chapter 3 to see how a three-, six-, and twelve-month schedule looks.
Like your career search, the Career Tracks exercise should be an ongoing, ever-evolving process. Successful job searches almost never happen overnight.
This entry is by Steven Joiner, Director of the Career Transitions Program and author of The Idealist Guide to Nonprofit Careers for Sector Switchers. He wishes he knew more about intentional career searching years ago.

Fresia: Moderation in all things – An independent viewpoint
As a registered independent, not only do I get targeted as the elusive "swing vote" when it comes to the elections, but all too often my independent voice and moderate viewpoint is drowned out by the overbearing political extremes. Frequently, those classified as independents get the inaccurate onus of being apathetic or dispassionate when it comes to politics because we don't share the fervor, hatred and vitriolic sentiments espoused by both sides of the aisle. This unmerited classification doesn't consider those who are well-informed and share a zeal for governmental topics but don't adhere to or pay homage to the polemic partisan environment; instead, opting for a path of moderation.
Aristotle said, "The virtue of justice consists in moderation, as regulated by wisdom." Moderation as a virtue is something that has been endorsed and advocated for centuries from the aforementioned Aristotle to Cicero and the Romans through the Bible and the virtues of the Catholic church. Fortunately, in our modern lives, moderation has taken a foothold in our behaviors, actions, speech and food consumption. We have the knowledge and wisdom that eating two Triple Baconators daily and finishing it off with a pound of fudge will be hazardous to our health. However, we do temper ourselves by allowing occasional and sporadic indulgences of these caloric behemoths.
That is why it is even more surprising that a virtue that governs much of our lives suddenly evaporates (along with wisdom) when confronted with contemporary politics. There is a cognitive dissonance that takes place in some minds that allows even the most temperate and commonsensical among us to turn into hate-filled extremists who spew horrible and untrue things. Perhaps this is the natural result of a two-party system that simply adopts polar opposite viewpoints and portrays anything that disagrees with its position as without value and intrinsically evil.
Although the origin and continuation of this partisan and divisive behavior is debatable and yet another source of discord and schism between the reigning parties, the fact remains the current political atmosphere is toxic, corrosive and certainly not conducive to effective political operations. This unyielding and unwavering support for one's opinions leaves no room for doubt or weakness because uncertainty and openness are seen as traitorous acts.
Even as both sides are reading this column, they are in their minds or aloud blaming the other party for this continuing dissent into harmful bickering and ineffective governing. Or some will even try to pick out words and phrases in this column and try to discern if I am really a closet Republican or Democrat simply masquerading as an independent so as to corrupt my true meaning and support the security blanket of party politics to which they so desperately cling.
Either way, I pray for a return to the virtue of moderation, that long-held, sacred and important ideal that has resounded throughout all civilizations. I ask that you remove the self-imposed blinders and evaluate the myopic understanding presented by one party. I believe what you will discover is the truth (as it so often does) lies somewhere in the middle.
Start a dialogue, stay on topic and be civil.
If you don't follow the rules, your comment may be deleted.

Manu on the shelf for weeks, not days according the report. I'd assume he sits for the rest of the regular season. It has become time to either move on from Manu or sign him on the dirt cheap. Great player; heart, guts grit, all that but you gotta play to get paid. At least when you are dealing with small market money issues.
Once the legs/knees go, the player is done. You can have all the heart in the world and it won't make a difference.
Manu reminds me of Setshot in "The Fish that Saved Pittsburgh" - showing my age. He's beaten and battered and doesn't want to hang it up and the team and fanbase don't want to admit it.
Thanks Manu. We appreciate all you've done but now it is time to bid you adios!!
Spurs Nation
things happen for a reason, he is out and now we will see what we really have with Green and Leonard and even Jackson, we were not going to win with the way manu was playing anyways, we need that X factor just the same way Manu became one back in 2003 championship run, not afraid to take the shot, playmaker ,etc, can Leonard do it? will tony and timmy trust him more and let him create for him and others, if he can then we will win it, love Manu but you are right we are not able to depend on him any longer.
Manu has a small mid substance tear in his hammy. Spurs are being extra careful with this for sure. The problem we have is this, without Manu as the second player that can create on his own, and for others, we become a predictable team. Against poor and even good teams, our execution may be enough. Against the elite teams, we need to have him and his creativity. Even with the recent turnover and shooting woes, he is invaluable to us with all the little things he does. And his ability to have the rock in his hands as a second option to Tony in crunch time is crucial. The Heat double teamed Tony off the pick and roll, and the rest of our guards and forwards are more catch and shoot players, or pump fake and a dribble or 2. Lets hope he heals, and is at least around to give us 20 minutes a game in the play offs.
I don't know what's going on with Manu, but it might be time to throw his Nikes up into the powerline guide wires like the do in the hood when it's time to end someone. He's our Samuel Jackson from the movie Unbreakable.
Case in point tonite. One guy on our club we need to go to every possession down the stretch, to either score or assist. Tony played great, but made some bad decisions down the stretch. Manu has a knack for either hitting the big shot, even if he's having a bad shooting nite, or making the right pass. Tony had a wide open (I can't believe I'm even mentioning his name) Bonner on the last possession. But he forced up an off balance banker. I also can't believe we continue to make bad defensive rotations late. Not Conleys game winner, that wasn't bad D by Green. But Neal made a mental mistake by getting sucked in in the game tying 3. Up by 3 at that point, don't allow a wide open look like that. Make them score a contested 2, and our last possession has a different feel to it, still up by one. We have a lot to clean up before the playoffs.
We had Manu last year and it was the same result. Manu isn't the answer anymore. They needed to trade Manu and/or Jackson to bring in someone, in order to win this year. But the FO, just like the fanbase, is in denial and placing that last hope that if Manu is just healthy this team can win it all. Not true.
Completely incorrect. If anything, they needed to packagesny combo of a Neal- Bonner-Jackson-Blair package in return for another creator. Wouldn't even have to be a top of the line guy either. You can't win in the playoffs in this league with guys that excel primarily on spot up shooting. It's why Bonner never has, and never will be any type of a threat in the playoffs. It's why Green will struggle, but he can at least provide some pressure and athleticism. Neal too will be limited, but he has slightly more ability to put the ball on the floor. Jackson was a beast vs the Thunder because he gave us quality D, and was somewhat of a dual threat. In the coming years lets hope Nando can provide that too. But right now, we have no hope without Manu. None.
I would say that there is pretty much no hope, either way. But certainly a much better chance with Manu to advance to the WCF than without. Without, they stand a very good chance of going out in the first round. Trust me when I say this in all certainty and knowing, or don't. But I do know this to be true- The FO, the coaching staff, the team docs, the trainers, and the league, all know the Spurs are at least a threat if Manu is healthy. That is why the Spurs are doing what they are in terms of his rehab for the type of tear he has. He does not have a 4 week injury. But, they are doing whatever they can to make him ready for the playoffs. They also knew that they were not going to be abel to acquire the assets they needed with the ones they currently have. Which is why we are still playing with the team we have. Don't throw value money at bad money, so they were not going to make a bad trade that cap straps them. Balancing the team and the cap are what they do best. The Spurs have done an incredible job making guys like Green and Neal good players. They also have guys like Bonner, because they need to round out the team. He is a great team mate, and has one single particular asset. Which happens to be as good as any big man in the league. Trouble is, that alone will not translate into any help come most games, and certainly never a playoff game. So, I guess the long way around to the main point, Manu is a key to them in the playoffs. He doesn't need to average 15-18. He needs to make plays, be an end of the game option, do the little things he always has, bring the competitive presence, give a second threat to Tony in crunch time, and yes, probably be the back up point guard when it comes down to it. The FO not only thinks that, they know it. And they seem to be pretty spot on most of the time.
Win or lose this is a game -
You could let it pick your brain for weeks and months, just replay it over and over, won't do you any good at all. When someone loses a loved one and they do that it only brings forth anguish. I feel acceptance is sometimes the key, it happened, now you have to react to it. Giving up is not an option.
Blogtable: Taking Spurs Or Thunder?
Wow, how strange! People who devote their lives to analyzing Basketball talking about the importance of Manu, talking about a "down" year, instead of realizing that Manu is a bag of **** that the Spurs should disposed of as soon as they can, how strange! :sarcasm
I cannot believe the amount of disrespect he has on this forum. Even if he's having, as the text says "a down year" how could this lead to such a blind attitude. As I said before, I never saw anyone talking like this about many of the other players on the team when Manu was the one putting up big numbers and carrying the team in MANY senses and many of the others (including coaching and managerial decisions) were going against the team's success, just a couple of years from now, AFTER our last championship.
And you know what? That's alright. Manu's 35 bloody years old. He's years removed from his prime and he's still contributing significantly years past when most players hang 'em up. He had an incredible prime, too -- I maintain he deserved the Finals MVP in 2005, and without him we wouldn't have those last two championships. It's downright disrespectful to the strength of his career as a whole to belittle how amazing he was at his peak by suggesting that he hasn't taken several significant steps back. That's like suggesting Wizards-era Jordan was just as good as Bulls-era Jordan: it's an insult to Jordan's Bulls career to suggest that he was just as good as a Wizard. It's an insult to Ginobili's peak effectiveness to suggest that he hasn't taken an enormous step downward.
He's 35 damn years old. Know how many other 35+ year old players are averaging double figures this year? 8: Tim Duncan, Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Vince Carter, Steve Nash, Ray Allen, Richard Hamilton. Seven likely first-ballot Hall of Famers. What Manu is doing is still amazing, but don't patronize him or belittle his career accomplishments by suggesting he hasn't taken an enormous step down from his prime.

ADDISON COUNTY — For those Addison County residents who felt November was unseasonably warm, it wasn't a figment of their imaginations. Last month was truly record breaking.
According to data documented by National Weather Service observers:
• South Lincoln had its warmest November on record, with a monthly average of 40.8 degrees. The second warmest November in South Lincoln weather history was in 2006 at 40.3 degrees.
MONKTON — Officials in Monkton say they've exceeded the capacity of their 1,200-square-foot town hall. According to the 2010 census, Monkton is one of Addison County's fastest growing towns, expanding at a rate of 12.6 percent in the last decade to a total of 1,980 residents.

BRISTOL — When chairman Tom Wells resigned his position on the Bristol Planning Commission last Wednesday after eight years serving on the commission and four years heading it, the decision didn't come as a big surprise to the selectboard.
According to selectboard Chair Joel Bouvier, Wells indicated in early October he'd likely have trouble fulfilling his planning commission duties due to an increased workload as an attorney.
FERRISBURGH —Rural development and environmental policy expert Jean Richardson of North Ferrisburgh has been named to the advisory board that helps set national standards for organic agriculture and products.
When the "supercommittee" on debt reduction collapsed one of the proposals that collapsed with it was a potential change in the nation's dairy policy by year's end. Federal price supports for agriculture, as with everything else, are the obvious targets of budget cutters, then, and now.
