John Phillips, the singer-songwriter-arranger who led the Mamas and the Papas to the forefront of pop music in the mid-1960s and helped define the California sound and spirit, died Sunday. Phillips, who received a liver transplant in 1992, died of heart failure at UCLA Medical Center. He was 65.
The Mamas and the Papas--Phillips, his wife, Michelle Phillips, Denny Doherty and Cass Elliot-- made the Top 10 in 1966 with their first single, "California Dreamin'. " The record's rich vocal blend and its image of the Golden State as a "safe and warm" refuge became a part of the growing California mystique.
"When he hit L.A. in '65 he welded his love of Lambert, Hendricks & Ross jazz-pop vocal styling with Lou Adler's laid-back California cool production approach," said Matthew Greenwald, author of a book on the group to be published next year. "His arrangements of their voices still beguile the listener more than 30 years later."
"Besides being one of the great American pop songwriters, along with Brian Wilson, John is one of the best vocal arrangers of the past 50 years," said Adler, who signed the group to his Dunhill Records label, produced their records and also managed them.
"When we went into the studio, each time we added another layer I was astounded by what came over the speakers. He did so many vocal gymnastics with their voices. That's a talent he may not be known for, but when you listen to those arrangements, that truly is great stuff."
The Mamas and the Papas were part of a westward migration by Greenwich Village folk musicians that also included Roger McGuinn (the Byrds) and John Sebastian (the Lovin' Spoonful), who contributed to Los Angeles' emergence as the creative and commercial center of pop music in the '60s.
Phillips, the son of a career Marine, was born on a military base in Parris Island, S.C., and briefly attended the U.S. Naval Academy before moving to New York in 1957. He formed a folk group called the Journeymen, which made three albums, and in 1962 he married model Michelle Gilliam, a 16-year-old Long Beach native 10 years his junior. She joined him in a group called the New Journeymen that also included Doherty, and when they moved to California they added Elliot, who had been in a group called the Mugwumps with Doherty. Through another old friend, singer Barry McGuire, they got an audition with Adler.
The Mamas and the Papas had five more Top 10 hits in their brief, two-year career, including "Monday, Monday" and "Dedicated to the One I Love." They appeared at the landmark 1967 Monterey International Pop Festival, of which Adler and Phillips were the chief organizers, then broke up amid personal tensions and exhaustion. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998. Elliot died in 1974.
Phillips released a solo album, "John Phillips: The Wolfking of L.A.," in 1970, and wrote some music for movies. But Phillips, who married actress Genevieve Waite after his divorce from Michelle Phillips, became less active as his addictions to heroin and cocaine worsened.
He was arrested for trafficking in narcotics in 1981, but stopped his drug use after going through rehabilitation. He later re-formed the Mamas and the Papas with different personnel, including one of his daughters, actress Mackenzie Phillips, and original member Doherty. His five children also include singer Chynna Phillips and singer-model Bijou Phillips.
Phillips, who had been living in Palm Springs and Lake Tahoe, recently completed two albums: a new collection tentatively titled "Slow Starter" and a record he began in the mid-1970s with Mick Jagger and Keith Richards as producers. That album, "Pay, Pack and Follow," will be released in May.
"He considered himself a real Southern gentleman," his friend Adler said Sunday. "His background was Indian, and he had a lot of soulful, spiritual influences that he liked to call on. Somehow he overrode them a lot, and he got the best of them a lot. John was not afraid to live. That's what it was all about for him, pushing the envelope, going over the boundaries. He did it one or two times too many, obviously, and suffered for it. He was a lot of different guys."
Phillips is survived by his wife, Farnaz; his three daughters; sons Jeffrey and Tamerlane; and stepdaughters Atoosa and Sanaz.
Funeral arrangements are pending.

Le Meur AirPreneurs
As this is the foundation of a gift, I'll describe my friends.
They are both strong entrepreneurs, who have come from France to Silicon Valley to start another company. They are strongly loyal friends. They have a great sense of style.
His blog:
They plan, when their company is successful, to buy a jet. This logo is for that aspiration.
Brand attributes:
- entrepreneurship
- global
- friendship
- reliability
- loyalty
- unique character
My friends are the primary audience. The secondary audience is their friends, since the idea is that -- when they are successful, they can have these items on their plane and they can be a fun thing to have there.
Their friends are like them: entrepreneurs and geeks.
They've started companies, love technology (e.g. planes), love adventure, have kids, create strong friendships.
I'd like the logo, so I can make gifts for them: mugs, tshirts, bags, key chains, possibly stationary, etc., as a sequence of gifts.
Logo Design for a Friend's (Aspirational) Jet-- as if it is a transportation business but for friends.
Uniqueness and some creativity are highly desirable. This isn't a corporate logo, so does not need to be vanilla. The brand attributes above are the target.
So, the work should be useable with sites like Zazzle and Cafe Press, in order to create a sequence of presents for them. (In terms of sizing.)
Colors are open -- they have a preference for red, but frankly colors that work for both him and her work. Multiple colors, single color, or b/w fine.
The airplane/jet motif is essential. I'd also like to work in the brand phrase: Le Meur Airpreneurs since it is part of the personal touch.

Silver shaping up to outshine gold in the months ahead
While gold prices rose by almost 13 per cent in 2017, their best year since 2010, the precious metal's precious shinier sister silver only managed half that gain.
Usually it is the other way around with silver acting as a leveraged play on the gold price. Ergo higher gold prices generally mean even higher silver prices.
So has something fundamental changed? Or could silver snap back with some really spectacular gains in 2018, particularly if the nascent bull market in gold we have seen so far this year picks up speed?

"Compound Fractures" (Dutton), by Stephen White
For more than 20 years, Stephen White has been writing about Alan Gregory, a psychologist in Boulder, Colo., who tends to get involved in major crimes. With the help of Detective Sam Purdy, Gregory has been able to close many cases. Although they occasionally butt heads, Gregory and Purdy have an enduring friendship. But "Compound Fractures," the last book in the series, puts everything in jeopardy.
Gregory has suffered a personal loss and is struggling to cope. Purdy has a secret and it might involve a betrayal of Gregory. Their relationship becomes strained and they don't realize it yet, but they will need each other to stay one step ahead of a mounting conspiracy. Friends and enemies from their past show up and what they reveal begins to unravel a terrible truth. Though what they did was more than justified, covering it up could land them in jail. Soon trust and friendship have vanished.
"Compound Fractures" seems a bit of a letdown after so many good books in the series. Readers want closure, and after turning the last page, there are several questions that demand answers.
White seems to go out of his way to disrupt any good will he has established with his characters and story lines over the years. A good thriller demands conflict, but not at the cost of making great characters unlikeable. Was he so tired of writing these books that he felt the need to turn everyone into ugly remnants of themselves?
Readers unfamiliar with this series should start at the beginning, not at the end, to fully understand what terrific novels the author has delivered over the years. It's too bad the last one is less of a bang and more of a whimper.

Dogged Bookkeeping necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 78 diseños de 10 diseñadores freelance.
Dogged Bookkeeping
I am a bookkeeper in Cooktown, Far North Queensland. I have been here for over a decade, and I have a reputation for being reliable and thorough in my work. I have just taken on a part-time employee and registered the name Dogged Bookkeeping. I am locally well known as a dog lover as well as being a tenacious bookkeeper. I want a simple image of a dogged but friendly looking dog that I can use for T-shirts and business cards etc.
A touch of humour would be good, as reflected in the name itself.
Local businesses in Cooktown, which is a small Queensland town of 2500 or so people, in the tropics. Most of my customers are small business owners - single operators or husband/wife teams. They are too busy running their actual businesses for any bullshit, and appreciate efficient, honest, cheap accounting services - which is what I provide. I have developed friendships with most of my customers, and I respect them all.
So something down-to-earth, not frilly, would be suitable.
I want a simple logo that has the silhouette of a dog with the words Dogged Bookkeeping.
I want to be able to easily reproduce this image on embroidered shirts for my employee and myself. I will also use the logo in letterheads, business cards, and advertising. I can design and produce these myself if I have the right logo.
I want an image that is original and appealing, and that suggests tenacity, loyalty, strength and friendliness.
Be aware that I have a Staffordshire Terrier, and I am particularly fond of this breed.

South Bay Replacement Project
Power Plant Licensing Case
Docket Number:
06-AFC-03 (Application For Certification)
Project Status: Application for Certification Withdrawn October 22, 2007.
Committee that oversaw Original Licensing Proceeding:
John L. Geesman, Commissioner, Presiding Member
Art Rosenfeld, Commissioner, Associate Member
Hearing Officer: Kenneth Celli
Key Dates
- June 30, 2006 - Application for Certification (AFC) filed with Energy Commission.
- October 22, 2007 - LS Power withdraws its Application for Certification.
- October 24, 2007 - Commission Order Terminating Proceeding.
L.S. Power South Bay, LLC proposes to develop the South Bay Replacement Project (SBRP) as a natural-gas-fired, combined-cycle power plant. The SBRP project will be configured as two natural-gas-fired combustion turbines and one steam turbine, and will have a nominal 500-megawatt (MW) output at 62 degrees Fahrenheit. SBRP includes duct firing which can raise the output up to an additional 120 MW by boosting the output of the steam turbine. The baseload operation has a net plant heat rate of 6,993 Btu/kwh (HHV).
The SBRP will be a replacement of the existing South Bay Power Plant (SBPP) that is owned by the San Diego Unified Port District (Port) and operated by the Applicant under a Lease and Cooperation agreement with the Port.1 The proposed project site is immediately adjacent to and south of the existing SBPP in the City of Chula Vista adjacent to the San Diego Bay.
The new SBRP project site is 12.9 acres and is part of what is referred to as the "former LNG site" because it is where San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) operated a liquefied natural gas storage facility many years ago when it owned the power plant complex. The Applicant requires and is pursuing a new lease agreement with the Port to pursue this project.
Energy Commission Facility Certification Process
The California Energy Commission is the lead agency (for licensing thermal power plants 50 megawatts and larger) under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has a certified regulatory program under CEQA. Under its certified program, the Energy Commission is exempt from having to prepare an environmental impact report. Its certified program, however, does require environmental analysis of the project, including an analysis of alternatives and mitigation measures to minimize any significant adverse effect the project may have on the environment.

/ Hubble's law still holds! Edwin Hubble Expands our View of the Universe.
Hubble's law still holds! Edwin Hubble Expands our View of the Universe.
This Month in Physics History
Edwin Hubble Expands our View of the Universe
Until the mid 1920s, most scientists thought the Milky Way was the entire universe, and that the universe was static, unchanging. With two discoveries, announced in January 1925 and January 1929, astronomer Edwin Hubble radically changed our idea of the cosmos, showing first that the universe was much larger than previously thought, and second that it is expanding, getting larger and larger all the time.
Edwin Hubble was born in 1889 in Missouri. As a young man, he was tall and athletic, known especially for his talent at boxing, basketball, and track. He earned an undergraduate degree in math and astronomy at the University of Chicago, and then studied law at Oxford on a Rhodes scholarship, following his father's wishes. Hubble returned to the US and joined the Kentucky bar, but quickly decided law wasn't for him. He taught high school Spanish for a year before heading back to the University of Chicago to earn his PhD in astronomy in 1917. After serving in the Army in World War I, he went to southern California to work at the Mt. Wilson observatory, home of the 100-inch Hooker telescope, the largest in the world at the time.
In the early 1920s many astronomers believed that objects then known as nebulae were nearby gas clouds in our own galaxy, and that the Milky Way was the entire universe, while others thought the nebulae were actually more distant "island universes" separate from our own galaxy. Harlow Shapley and Heber Curtis had a famous debate on the issue in 1920 [see This Month in Physics History, April 2000].
At Mt. Wilson, Hubble began measuring the distances to nebulae to try to resolve the issue, using a method based on an earlier discovery by Henrietta Leavitt. She had found that a type of star known as a Cepheid variable had a predictable relationship between its luminosity and its pulsation rate. Measuring the period of the star's fluctuations in brightness would give its absolute brightness, and comparing that with the star's apparent brightness would yield a measure of the star's distance.
Hubble found he was able to resolve Cepheid variables in the Andromeda nebula, showing that the nebula was in fact a separate galaxy rather than a gas cloud within the Milky Way. He also showed that the galaxy was much farther away than previously thought, greatly expanding our view of the universe. Hubble announced the finding on January 1, 1925 at a meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Washington DC.
Following the groundbreaking announcement, Hubble continued measuring the distances to far away astronomical objects, measurements that in a few years would lead to a discovery with even more radical implications for cosmology.
It was already known that nebulae appeared redder than they should be. Astronomers, notably Vesto Slipher, had found that the light from most nebulae was redshifted, indicating that most of the nebulae were receding at high speeds. But it wasn't understood why other galaxies would all appear to be moving away from us.
Hubble continued his meticulous astronomical measurements. He collaborated with Milton Humason, who had begun working as a janitor at the Mt. Wilson observatory, then rose to become a night assistant and then an assistant astronomer. Humason observed spectra, while Hubble concentrated on finding distances to various objects.
After collecting enough data points, Hubble and Humason found a simple linear relationship between an object's velocity and its distance from us. Hubble's law, as it is known, indicates that galaxies are moving away from each other at speeds proportional to their distance. Hubble's distance measurements turned out to be incorrectly calibrated, in part because he had failed to realize that there are actually two types of Cepheid variables, but Hubble's law still holds.
Hubble submitted a paper describing the velocity-distance relation to the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences in January 1929, and it was published in March (the paper is available online at: http://www.pnas.org/misc/Hubble.pdf). Hubble first plotted the trend using 46 galaxies, but in the next few years continued to collect data for many more galaxies, which added further confirmation.
In his paper, Hubble didn't discuss the implications of what he had found, perhaps preferring to leave the interpretation to theorists. He simply presented the empirical law relating galaxies' distance to their velocity. But others quickly recognized that Hubble's discovery indicated that the universe was expanding and that Hubble's observations provided the first observational support for what later became the big bang theory.
Scientists had been convinced that the universe was static. Einstein had even added a fudge factor known as the cosmological constant into his equations to make them consistent with a static universe. Although physicists Alexander Friedman and Georges Lemaître had independently proposed expanding universe models based on Einstein's equations, they had no data to support their theories, and were largely ignored until after Hubble's discovery. When Einstein saw that Hubble's results showed that the universe was expanding after all, Einstein famously called the cosmological constant the "greatest blunder" of his life.
Hubble became famous for his discoveries, and enjoyed partying with Hollywood celebrities. He continued to work in astronomy, but remained bothered by the fact that he was ineligible for the Nobel Prize because astronomy was not then considered a branch of physics. He later helped build the 200-inch Palomar telescope, and died in 1953, not long after it was completed.

Obesity and Cancer Risk
July 25, 2010
by Robert Wascher
Filed under Cancer, Cancer Prevention, obesity, Weekly Health Update
Welcome to Weekly Health Update
"A critical weekly review of important new research findings for health-conscious readers"
We have become the heaviest people in the history of our species, with two-thirds of Americans officially classified as overweight, and one of every three of us tipping the scales into the "obese" range. For too many of us, day after day, we load our bodies with more fat- and calorie-packed foods than our bodies can utilize. Surrounded by effort-saving devices that have drastically reduced the amount of food-derived energy that our bodies can reasonably metabolize, a majority of Americans are becoming progressively heavier and heavier. Moreover, obesity now affects a shocking percentage of children and adolescents in our society, and it is no longer uncommon to see children and teenagers with obesity-related diseases, previously seen only in adults, like diabetes, arthritis, high blood pressure, gallstones, and cardiovascular disease.
In addition to chronic illnesses that have long been associated with obesity, it has become increasingly clear that the risk of multiple different types of cancer is also increased by obesity. Now, a newly published public health study, which appears in a forthcoming issue of The Lancet Oncology, underscores the disturbing extent to which excess weight increases our risks of several different common types of cancer.
In this huge public health study, more than 400,000 patient volunteers from Asia, Australia, and New Zealand were followed for an average of 4 years. When obese study volunteers (BMI of 30 or higher) were compared with volunteers of normal weight (BMI less than 25), the obese volunteers were found to have a 21 percent higher risk of death due to cancer. The risk of dying of certain specific types of cancer were even higher among the obese volunteers, including a 50 percent increased risk of death due to colon cancer, a 68 percent increased risk of death due to rectal cancer, a 63 percent increased risk of death due to breast cancer (in postmenopausal women), a 162 percent increase in the risk of dying of ovarian cancer, a 321 percent increase in the risk of death due to cancer of the cervix, a 45 percent increase in the risk of death due to prostate cancer, and a 66 percent increase in the risk of dying from leukemia.
The findings of this enormous public health study are worrisome, to say the least, and reflect the very serious impact that obesity has on our risk of developing cancer, and the risk of dying from cancer.
Obesity is a growing public health problem in the United States and, increasingly, around the world; and the list of chronic, major illnesses associated with obesity continues to expand (along with our collective waistlines). If you are overweight or obese, then please consult with your physician for advice on how best to lose your excess weight. Meanwhile, sharply reduce your intake of high-calorie and high-fat foods, and begin a responsible and consistent exercise program, under your physician's supervision.
For a more detailed discussion of the scientific links between obesity and cancer, look for the publication of my new landmark book, "A Cancer Prevention Guide for the Human Race," in August of this year.

(Of liever Gekeken:) Wall and Piece van de graffiti-kunstenaar Banksy is een verzameling van zijn werk. Niemand kent zijn echte identiteit.
The people wo truly deface our neighbourhoods are the companies that scrawl giant slogans across buildings and buses trying to make us feel inadequate unless we buy their stuff. They expect to be able to shout their message in your face from every available surface but you're never allowed to answer back. Well, they started the fight and the wall is the weapon of choice to hit them back.

Adverts Welcome
Welcome to our Website. Here in Gibraltar, we are a small community, in existence from the mid 18th century.
We are known as a vibrant, hospitable and dedicated Orthodox Jewish community and have often been referred to as a small community with a big heart.
It is particularly because our community is small that every person counts. We laugh together and, at times, cry together.
Our community is run by the Managing Board of the Jewish Community. The Board is involved in all aspects of lay and religious communal life. Religious issues are the province of our esteemed Communal Rabbi, Rabbi Roni Hassid, who has served and led us for the last 25 years.
We offer many opportunities to our members to actively involve themselves in maintaining and developing the quality of Jewish religious, social, educational and cultural life. Our community has support networks to cater for our members from cradle to grave, which enable our people to enrich their lives.
We are also extremely proud of the 'Jewels in our Crown', these being our Government Hebrew Primary School, Gibraltar Boys (Secondary) School, Gibraltar Girls Secondary School, and our Kolel (Institute of Advanced Talmudical studies). The Government of Gibraltar also provides for us and funds a Kosher Home for aged and frail people. There are no less than four synagogues, in town, all within walking distance of each other, and three daily morning minyanim (services) and afternoon and evening services. There is a fifth synagogue where Sabbath full morning services are run by our children.
In addition to this, there are three Kosher restaurants/eateries (one meaty, and two dairy), one Kosher baker, and three delis. Not bad for a community of about 700 souls! Further details of all this appears in the relevant pages in this web site.
Our relations with other faiths are exemplary and a constantly remarked on fact not only by local residents, but also by visitors from abroad.
There will be a warm welcome for YOU in Gibraltar. Rest assured that we are actively striving to attract more Jewish brothers and sisters to join us and to settle here. Could this be YOU and your family and friends? Come on, give us a try - we will welcome you with open arms. As you can see, we are a small community but match many larger communities in structure, co-ordination and vibrancy.
For further information, dip into other parts of this Website or contact our Administrative Secretary Mrs Susan Levy at email@example.com or telephone (+350) 200 72606. We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Mick Hucknall diagnosed with thyroid condition
Former SIMPLY RED star MICK HUCKNALL is suffering "mood swings" and "bloating" as he battles a thyroid condition.
The singer has refused to go into detail about his illness, but reveals he was given the diagnosis by doctors several months ago and has been dealing with a series of nasty side-effects.
However, Hucknall is determined to make a return to full fitness.
He tells the Weekend magazine, "A few months ago I was diagnosed with a thyroid condition that's led to side effects like bloating and mood swings. They say I'm going to make a full recovery and I'm determined to stay healthy."

The best way to become a good writer is to read a lot of good writing. And to me there's no better legal writing than that of Judge Ruggero Aldisert.
Judge Aldisert just published the third edition of his important and popular book on Opinion Writing (details from the catalog record copied below). This third edition (listen up, law students) includes a new chapter on law clerk duties, an expanded treatment of trial court opinions, and new chapters on administrative law judges and arbitration procedures and opinions.
But, one might ask, how will a book on opinion writing help me write a winning brief? The answer is found in what the good judge calls his "chambers mantra" — "writing a good opinion is the best training on how to write a good brief."
And about those three steps. Opinion Writing, 3rd edition includes three checklists (these checklists, alone, are worth the price of the book) on opinion writing that can be used in brief writing:
1. Writing it.
2. Testing it.
3. Shortening it.
The book asks: Why use checklists for writing, testing and shortening an opinion? The answer: "Checklists ensure that you touch all the bases on your way to file a 'home run' opinion." These checklists are gold, pure gold.
Here's the book's description from our library catalog:
Opinion writing / Ruggero J. Aldisert.

Yes, we have three copies. Every law library should have at least that many, and law librarians should encourage their students, especially their students in law school clinics, to read and heed the judge's insightful tips.
Full disclosure: I met Judge Aldisert in 2008 when my daughter was serving as one of his law clerks.

There's a serious issue with the Linux edition. When you lose reception to an AP the graph ends. But then when it finds the AP again the line draws straight between where there should be a gap.
Further, when I try to compile each .ccp file manually, I am unable to do so because, for example, main.cpp makes reference to a "ui_MainForm.h" file to include as it compiles, which doesn't exist.
I am running Kali Linux, and I have tried installing it using the Debian package, but I have a dependency problem and says that it requires libc6 >= 2.14, even though it says that the version of libc6:amd64 that I am running on the system is 2.13-38.
Would love to get this working on my system but I can't seem to get the Debian package working, and there are no clear instructions for compiling within the Readme. That seems like that should've been included as standard.
Yes what mark said above! Can you please stop hogging this amazing program all to yourself! I can't use ubuntu or debian I use Fedora and there is just no way I can figure out how to compile this program I've tried studying gcc and stuff for hours on end googling countless days for answers, asking on the official sourceforge page to no avail.
Could someone please just post detailed instructions on how to get this thing compiled? I beg you...
Firstly you need some dependencies that will be needed to build so go ahead and install them:
yum install gcc-c++ qt-devel qwt-devel boost-devel
Then you need to cd into the source dir and run:
After that there will be a Makefile generated but you need to edit a few things inside,
I'll highlight in bold the changes to be made:
CC = gcc
CXX = g++
LIBS = $(SUBLIBS) -L/usr/lib /usr/lib/libboost_regex-mt.so /usr/lib/libqwt.so -lQtGui -lQtCore -lpthread
Then you may run the make command as usual and it should compile without issues, once finished it will output the
binary to dist/Release/linssid which I've found works fine when run as root but does not accept the root password
when run as a normal user (probably because I don't have my normal user in /etc/sudoers as I never use sudo).
Tested on Fedora 19 i386 but should be fine for x86_64 (might have to change the line
for libboost_regex if it's in /usr/lib64 or something). Or maybe replacing the whole path
/usr/lib/libboost_regex-mt.a with -lboost_regex might work.

Installed LinSSID for the first time, from .deb package.
When I start, I get the password box. Enter my account password and click OK.
But then I get the Error Message:
"Unable to continue. Cannot find interface pipe"
Clues, anyone?
I'm using the WiFi interface while trying to launch LinSSID. Would that be a problem?
LinSSID seems to work fine when I choose my laptop's internal 2.4ghz wireless adapter, but crashes immediately if I choose an external USB dual-band adapter and select the 5ghz range. Any ideas why? Cheers, Al

Resolve to hire team players, not just workers.
By Charles Contreras, Labor Management Specialist, Pfizer Animal Health
Starting a new year gives us the opportunity to reflect on the past 365 days and make resolutions for improvements. Think about the past year in terms of your work force. How many employees did you hire in 2012? How many quit? Did you fill the same position more than once? This year, resolve to hire dedicated members for your dairy team.
Dairy producers often find themselves looking for new employees in a continuous hiring cycle. When an employee leaves, the urgent need for help likely leads you to hire the first qualified person who comes to your door. Chances are in the next few weeks or months an employee will leave, and you will be back at square one looking for another new employee. Sound familiar?
High employee turnover can damage dairy wellness. The cost of employee turnover is difficult to determine, but the American Management Association estimates employee turnover costs an operation anywhere from 25% to 200% the person's annual salary. For a milker making $25,000, each new employee could cost you from $6,000 to $50,000 in hiring and training time and lost productivity, not to mention stress on the employees who stay. Some dairies we've worked with have seen 100% turnover in a calendar year in certain departments.
Break this cycle by following these three tips for hiring better employees.
1. Know who you want.
Think about your current employees and the ones who are successful. What makes them good? Why do they like your operation? Know your stars, and strive to recruit and hire people like them.
2. Always be looking.
Don't just spring into action when you have a need that arises. If a potentially good employee comes to your door when you don't have an opening, interview them and keep their information on file in case something opens up.
3. Ask thoughtful, behavioral questions.
Learn more about prospective employees by asking questions that require more than one-word answers. Ask questions that require the interviewee to tell a story. That allows you to learn more about their mindset and their experience. If the position you are hiring for requires a very specific technical skill, ask candidates to show you how they would do it.

The following players have been deemed inactive at the halfway stage of the season, having not posted for more than 2 weeks in the Dev League forum:
GM Roberts (Black)
M Shah (Blue)
BS Read (Green)
DW Pares (Colts)
MU Amir (Red)
JJD Heads (Red)
However, they receive soft warning, as per the new CWBCC ruling on inactivity. It is as follows:
1. CWBCC releases the names of inactive players after each quarter. They will be deemed "casually inactive".
2. The captains are asked not to play those players. Should they comply, the players would suffer no immediate loss of skill, as they would not be officially deemed inactive by the CWBCC.
3. If the captain selects a "casually inactive" player, the player will be immediately made officially inactive by the CWBCC and suffer the relevant loss of skill.
4. If a player does not become active a half after he/she is deemed "casually inactive", he/she will be deemed officially inactive and suffer the relevant loss of skill.

Bernanke: China's Dollar Peg Like Being on Gold Standard
From Real Time Economics:
The problems of being on a gold standard can be seen in China's decision to tie its currency to the U.S. dollar, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said Tuesday.
China is a modern example of the flaws similar to those of the gold standard, Bernanke said Tuesday in the first of four lectures at George Washington University. Because China ties it currency to the U.S. dollar, it could experience inflation, Bernanke said, noting that China's currency has become more flexible lately.
"If the Fed lowers interest rates and stimulates the U.S. economy, that means also that essentially monetary policy becomes easier in China as well. Those low interest rates may not be appropriate for China," Bernanke said. "China may experience inflation because it's tied to U.S. monetary policy."
Under a gold standard, paper money is tied to a fixed amount of gold. President Richard Nixon took the U.S. off the gold standard in 1971.
Bernanke said, "I understand the impulse" that makes the gold standard attractive, but contended that monetary system will never return.
"The world has changed" and there's not enough gold out there to make such a regime feasible. Also, he argues a gold standard would not allow a central bank to do anything to help employment, and that's no longer an acceptable way to conduct policy.
The gold standard poses both practical and policy problems, Bernanke said. On the practical side, it can be a waste of resources to secure all the gold needed to back currency, moving it from South Africa to the basement of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, for example, or as he put it, "all this gold is being dug up and being put back into another hole."
More significantly, a country on a gold standard will see more short-term volatility, Bernanke said.
"Since the gold standard determines the money supply, there's not much scope for the central bank to use monetary policy to stabilize the economy," he said. Bernanke noted the gold standard did not prevent frequent financial panics.
During the Great Depression, "policy errors" in the United States spread to other countries that were also on the gold standard, Bernanke said. Countries on the gold standard must maintain fixed exchange rates, making it easy for bad policies in one country to spread to another on the gold standard, he noted.
The gold standard can also cause both periods of deflation and inflation in the medium term, Bernanke said. If not "perfectly credible," the gold standard can be subject to speculative attack and ultimately collapse as people try to exchange paper money for gold. However, he did acknowledge that over decades, prices are very stable for countries using the gold standard.
Part of the reason the Fed failed in its managing of the Great Depression were its attempts to stay on the gold standard, he noted. One of Franklin Delano Roosevelt's most successful moves as president was to begin to take the country off the gold standard, he said.

|A Max critical region.

A critical region is a simple mechanism that prevents multiple threads from accessing at once code protected by the same critical region.
The code fragments could be different, and in completely different modules, but as long as the critical region is the same, no two threads should call the protected code at the same time. If one thread is inside a critical region, and another thread wants to execute code protected by the same critical region, the second thread must wait for the first thread to exit the critical region. In some implementations a critical region can be set so that if it takes too long for the first thread to exit said critical region, the second thread is allowed to execute, dangerously and potentially causing crashes. This is the case for the critical regions exposed by Max and the default upper limit for a given thread to remain inside a critical region is two seconds. Despite the fact that there are two seconds of leeway provided before two threads can dangerously enter a critical region, it is important to only protect as small a portion of code as necessary with a critical region.
Under Max 4.1 and earlier there was a simple protective mechanism called "lockout" that would prevent the scheduler from interrupting the low priority thread during sensitive operations such as sending data out an outlet or modifying members of a linked list. This lockout mechanism has been deprecated, and under the Mac OS X and Windows XP versions (Max 4.2 and later) does nothing. So how do you protect thread sensitive operations? Use critical regions (also known as critical sections). However, it is very important to mention that all outlet calls are now thread safe and should never be contained inside a critical region. Otherwise, this could result in serious timing problems. For other tasks which are not thread safe, such as accessing a linked list, critical regions or some other thread protection mechanism are appropriate.
In Max, the critical_enter() function is used to enter a critical region, and the critical_exit() function is used to exit a critical region. It is important that in any function which uses critical regions, all control paths protected by the critical region, exit the critical region (watch out for goto or return statements). The critical_enter() and critical_exit() functions take a critical region as an argument. However, for almost all purposes, we recommend using the global critical region in which case this argument is zero. The use of multiple critical regions can cause problems such as deadlock, i.e. when thread #1 is inside critical region A waiting on critical region B, but thread #2 is inside critical region B and is waiting on critical region A. In a flexible programming environment such as Max, deadlock conditions are easier to generate than you might think. So unless you are completely sure of what you are doing, and absolutely need to make use of multiple critical regions to protect your code, we suggest you use the global critical region.
In the following example code we show how one might use critical regions to protect the traversal of a linked list, testing to find the first element whose values is equal to "val". If this code were not protected, another thread which was modifying the linked list could invalidate assumptions in the traversal code.
critical_enter(0); for (p = head; p; p = p->next) { if (p->value == val) break; } critical_exit(0); return p;
And just to illustrate how to ensure a critical region is exited when multiple control paths are protected by a critical region, here's a slight variant.
critical_enter(0); for (p = head; p; p = p->next) { if (p->value == val) { critical_exit(0); return p; } } critical_exit(0); return NULL;
For more information on multi-threaded programming, hardware interrupts, and related topics, we suggest you perform some research online or read the relevant chapters of "Modern Operating Systems" by Andrew S. Tanenbaum (Prentice Hall). At the time of writing, some relevant chapters from this book are available for download in PDF format on Prentice Hall's web site. See:
Look under "sample sections".
|void critical_enter
Enter a critical region.
Typically you will want the argument to be zero to enter the global critical region, although you could pass your own critical created with critical_new(). It is important to try to keep the amount of code in the critical region to a minimum. Exit the critical region with critical_exit().
|A pointer to a t_critical struct, or zero to uses Max's global critical region.
|void critical_exit
Leave a critical region.
Typically you will want the argument to be zero to exit the global critical region, although, you if you are using your own critical regions you will want to pass the same one that you previously passed to critical_enter().
|A pointer to a t_critical struct, or zero to uses Max's global critical region.
|void critical_free
Free a critical region created with critical_new().
If you created your own critical region, you will need to free it in your object's free method.
|The t_critical struct that will be freed.
|void critical_new
|t_critical *
Create a new critical region.
Normally, you do not need to create your own critical region, because you can use Max's global critical region. Only use this function (in your object's instance creation method) if you are certain you are not able to use the global critical region.
|A t_critical struct will be returned to you via this pointer.
|short critical_tryenter

VICTORIA - Falling revenues have blown another hole in the B.C. budget, Finance Minister Mike de Jong said Wednesday as he revealed his government's deficit has grown by 50 per cent in just the past six months.
In releasing second-quarter results, de Jong said this year's deficit is expected to reach $1.47 billion. In February, his government projected a deficit for 2012-13 of $968 million.
The news comes about two months after de Jong announced a significant austerity program — including a government hiring freeze, a wage freeze for public-sector managers and a further crackdown on discretionary spending — intended to plug the fiscal holes made in the province's budget this year by falling prices for natural gas.
The major culprit behind this quarter's drop, de Jong said, is a delay in the completion of the sale of the provincially owned land at Vancouver's Little Mountain housing project, which he said is not expected to go through until June.
While the report did not say how much the Little Mountain project was worth, it referred to the loss of $292 million in fees, licences and investment earnings and said this loss was mainly due to the delay in the sale of the Little Mountain property.
Also to blame are sagging revenues from the property transfer tax because of the battered housing market, lower revenues from some Crown corporations, a drop in income due to weak coal exports, and the continued low price and poor sales of natural gas.
But like Premier Christy Clark on Tuesday, de Jong vowed his government will still return the province to a balanced budget when it tables its pre-election budget in February.
De Jong would not say what measures he plans to counteract the revenue losses, but said he has significant work to do.
He refused to rule out tax increases.
"As part of the budgeting process do you look at the broad suite of taxes that apply? Yes," de Jong said. "But the government and I have a bias that mitigates against increasing the tax burden that British Columbians face."
He admitted he will need to propose a credible plan in February or face the risk that skeptics will label the pre-election budget as a political document.
"We're going to have to present a budget that will withstand scrutiny, that will show a sufficient surplus as to be credible given the vagaries and the changes that can take place during the year," de Jong said Wednesday.
The earlier austerity measures have so far removed $86 million from ministry budgets. "To achieve the balance target in a way that I think will withstand reasonable scrutiny, we've still got $200 million to $300 million of work to do."
On the eve of the 2009 election, then-premier Gordon Campbell promised a deficit of no more than $495 million. Postelection, audited financial statements for the prior year showed a deficit of $1.779 billion.
Despite his talk of fiscal restraint, de Jong ruled out changes to the government's two-year $15-million advertising campaign for the BC Jobs Plan — a document Clark has said will form the basis of her platform in the coming election.
"I understand the value of communicating with British Columbians about the state of their province. I think that's valid," he said, defending the advertising campaign. "I think the objectives they (the ads) are seeking to achieve are appropriate and worth pursuing."
Still, de Jong said he understands the criticism.
"At a time when we are, and I am, conveying a message about the challenges associated with balancing a budget, I understand and accept that people would question every expenditure."
New Democratic Party MLA Carole James said she thinks de Jong needs to do more than just understand the concern.
"What kind of discipline is there when $15 million is spent on election advertising? The only thing the premier and the finance minister seem to care about is preparing for the election and trying to increase their fortunes," she said. "Well, these are difficult economic times and the public deserves better than what they are seeing right now from this government."
James said she thinks the government needs to be more open about how it plans to balance the budget in February.
"The finance minister spent the beginning of his talk talking about all the difficult economic times we're in and then, with no evidence, with no details, said to the public, 'Trust us we're going to make sure that we balance the budget before the election,'" she said. "We've now, by 50 per cent, increased the deficit. It just isn't credible for this finance minister to say they are going to balance."

What do women want? It's an age old question, but we're pretty sure we've found the answer! Check out these fabulous gifts for her- we've found perfect presents for women of all ages.
How to buy brilliant gifts for her
At times women can appear inexplicably upset, appalled or even down right boggled at our telepathic short-comings if we fail to deliver the goods. If mind-reading is not your forte, it's important to listen out for cryptic clues or cleverly dropped hints in the run-up to a special occasion. If you still have no idea whatsoever, then stick to our basic rules when buying gifts for women.
Whether it's a birthday treat, a Christmas gift or a random surprise, women love to be pampered. Treat her by choosing thoughtful gifts that she would never splurge on herself.
Gifts for her - what not to buy
For wives, live-in girlfriends or mothers, cleaning products or practical household items should be avoided at all costs, lest you want that new compost bin, as well as its putrid contents, thrown at your head in the midst of a heated row! When buying gifts for her, it's much safer to go for something heart-felt and indulgent that will make her smile.
Gym memberships and weight loss products are an absolute no-no. No matter what she asks you, she always looks great and NO, her thighs definitely do not look big in her new figure hugging skirt/jeans/bandage dress. Cute work-out clothes and sports accessories are only acceptable gifts for her if she's already the sporty type and won't be insulted by the suggestion that she could do with some exercise that doesn't involve an arm and a T.V. remote.
Gifts for her- presentation is everything.
While we know it's the thought that counts, but when buying gifts for her unless you are under 10 and can produce a home-made gift that will reduce her to a heap of sentimental goo, make her present look expensive. This can be achieved by actually buying something pricey or dressing it up with either lashings of good quality paper or a pretty box, covered in silk ribbons to make it look as extravagant as possible. Like the lady herself, she won't be able to resist beautiful things.

At 12:30 my husband comes home and watches the SP adult so I can take the other kids to the park/libary or where ever. Then all the other kids (except our two and the SP adult) leave at 4!
Well that is my day.. know it sounds wild, but I love it and I get to make some money too! So what is everyone eles day like.. any comments on mine? Peace and love and keep on teaching!

ARM and Synplicity Announce Marketing and Collaboration Agreement for Cortex-M1 Processor
Reference methodology expands market with Cortex-M1 processor implementation flow
SUNNYVALE, CA, AND CAMBRIDGE, UK – April 3, 2007 – Synplicity, Inc. [Nasdaq:(SYNP),], a leading supplier of FPGA synthesis software and ARM [(LSE: ARM); (Nasdaq: ARMHY)] have announced a joint marketing and collaboration agreement which includes a reference methodology for the recently launched ARM® Cortex™-M1 processor – the first ARM processor specifically designed for implementation in FPGA (see "ARM Extends Cortex Family with First Processor Optimized for FPGA" Mar. 19 2007).
The two companies have also agreed to work together to further support easy system integration of the Cortex-M1 processor using the Synplicity tool chain. With the signing of this marketing and collaboration agreement, ARM and Synplicity will work together to ensure that mutual customers can successfully implement the ARM processor across a range of FPGA device families. The ARM-Synplicity joint reference methodology ensures that a broad number of companies can easily and effectively leverage the ARM technology and Synplicity software.
Under this marketing and collaboration agreement Synplicity, a member of the ARM Connected Community, will put processes in place to ensure that customers have a seamless design flow for Cortex- M1 processors. Synplicity's R&D team will use the Cortex-M1 processor as part of standard product validation procedures. Synplicity's corporate engineering also has access to the Cortex-M1 processor IP to provide mutual customer support.
ARM worked closely with Synplicity during the development of the Cortex-M1 processor and used Synplicity's industry-leading Synplify Pro synthesis software extensively during the development process.
"Synplicity's involvement was a significant benefit during the development of the Cortex-M1 processor," said Graham Budd, Executive VP and General Manager, Processor Division, ARM. "The ARM design team was keen to ensure the Cortex-M1 processor was optimized for multiple FPGA targets. Synplicity's vendor independent flow enabled us to achieve this with minimum overhead, ensuring that the processor can be implemented on the widest possible range of FPGA devices."
"ARM's entry into the FPGA market is a watershed event by bringing an industry standard processor to FPGA design," said Joe Gianelli, VP business development, Synplicity. "The intent of our long-term partnership with ARM is to increase the awareness and provide optimal implementation of ARM processors for FPGA design"
The ARM Cortex-M1 processor is the first ARM processor specifically designed for implementation on FPGA and extends the range of the ARM Cortex processor family, enabling OEMs to standardize around a common architecture across the performance spectrum. The processor implements a subset of the popular, high-density Thumb®-2 instruction set which enables both the processor and software footprint to meet the area budget of the smallest FPGA devices, while retaining compatibility with Thumb code for any ARM processor from the ARM7TDMI® processor upwards.
The Cortex-M1 processor is capable of more than 170 MHz, whilst occupying less than 15 percent area of popular low-cost FPGA devices. Despite being the smallest processor in the Cortex family, the Cortex-M1 processor can deliver 0.8 DMIPS/MHz.
Tools and Peripherals Support
The Cortex-M1 processor will be fully supported by the ARM RealView® Development Suite and RealView Microcontroller Development Kit. The RealView Development Suite includes a complete instruction set system model (ISSM) enabling developers to create and test applications for the Cortex-M1 processor out of the box. For improved integration into tool-flows, the Cortex-M1 processor is supported with an XML description adhering to the IP-XACT™ specification from The SPIRIT Consortium.
The ARM-Synplicity reference methodology for the Cortex-M1 processor includes capabilities for physical and logic synthesis design flows. Synplicity's FPGA synthesis solutions help programmable logic designers rapidly achieve aggressive performance objectives. Synplicity's family of FPGA synthesis solutions includes the Synplify software, Synplify Pro logic synthesis software and the Synplify Premier physical synthesis software. The Synplify Pro software is the industry's most widely used FPGA synthesis solution, utilizing a true timing-driven approach to synthesis. The software delivers the performance needed to meet a design's timing requirements and then optimizes the circuit for area, saving significantly on chip cost. The Synplify Premier solution builds upon Synplicity's industry-leading synthesis technology and adds new graph-based physical synthesis and real-time, simulator-like visibility into operating FPGA devices. Graph-based physical synthesis provides rapid timing closure and a 5-20 percent timing improvement.
The reference methodology is available now from both companies.
ARM designs the technology that lies at the heart of advanced digital products, from mobile, home and enterprise solutions to embedded and emerging applications. ARM's comprehensive product offering includes 16/32-bit RISC microprocessors, data engines, graphics processors, digital libraries, embedded memories, peripherals, software and development tools, as well as analog functions and high-speed connectivity products. Combined with the company's broad Partner community, they provide a total system solution that offers a fast, reliable path to market for leading electronics companies. More information on ARM is available at http://www.arm.com.

In 2004, the Ad Council partnered with the Children's Bureau and AdoptUSKids on a national adoption recruitment campaign to encourage the adoption of children from foster care. PSAs have been developed with a specific annual focus including, teens, Spanish-language, sibling groups, and children eight and older. The consistent tag line, "You don't have to be perfect to be a perfect parent," has been used to communicate a humorous angle to the seemingly challenging task of adopting a child from foster care, reassuring prospective parents that even if not 'perfect,' they have the ability to provide the stability and security that children in foster care need and deserve.
To encourage the adoption of children from the U.S. foster care system and to increase the number of potential families inquiring about adoption. The campaign encourages potential adoptive parents to call 888.200.4005 or visit www.adoptuskids.org to find out more information about adopting children from foster care.
- Primary: Prospective parents who are considering adopting from foster care but who have not yet started the process
- Secondary: General public
You don't have to be perfect to be a perfect parent.
Over $346 million in donated and earned media support from 2004-2012.
Since the 2004 campaign launch, there have been over 218,000 inquiries and more than 22,000 children have been adopted from foster care.
KBS+, the pro bono agency on our Adoption from Foster Care campaign, created a video case study to highlight the effectiveness of the PSAs.

text: The 30-year span of this set starts with music from their debut From Her To Eternity and takes the story up to 2013's Push The Sky Away. The album was compiled largely by Nick Cave and Mick Harvey and Cave had the following to say about it: "This release is designed to be a way into three decades of music making. That's a lot of songs. The songs we have chosen are the ones that have stuck around, for whatever reason. Some songs are those that demand to be played live. Others are lesser songs that are personal favourites of ours. Others are just too big and have too much history to leave out.
