Installation Videos
Video Transcript
You should have no trouble finding one that looks great in your Mustang.
Installation for the shift knob is very easy. If you're early Mustang you'll have to thread on this jam nut. If you're '05 and up, we carry these retainers that will hold your boot in place once you install the after market knob.
All the knobs are available in solid colors, without any graphics whatsoever. If you chose to go with a graphic, we offer the 5.0, the running horse, the snake, the GT, as well as a Boss 302. If you choose to go with a pattern, stripes are available as well. And if you prefer, you can actually have the graphic added to the side.
In our case, we had this custom one made for our CJ race car with our CJ emblem on the side. We'll be installing this one.
Since quarter mile performance has been the goal with our gotta have it race 2013 GT, we're still running the stock shift knob. We'll remove this one and install our new green knob. Get a good grip on the knob and turn it counter clockwise.
First step for the installation of the new knob is to install its retainer. The retainer's gonna hold the boot in place and also work as a jam nut for the knob. Thread your retainer down until it's touching your shift boot. Grab your shift knob, line up the threads. Start threading it on. Now, if you thread it all the way down, it probably isn't gonna line up straight.
What you'll wanna do then is loosen it up until it's about an eighth of a turn from straight, thread the retainer upward. Get a good grip on it, turn it until it's straight. As you can see our shift knob was a nice additional upgrade to our interior. It only took a few minutes to install. You'll be back on the road in no time.

When people see my bike for the first time, one of the most talked about parts on it is the detachable water bottle cage.
As part of my travels, I have spent so much time riding my polo bike around cities on hot summer days, being able to carry a water bottle has been essential. Then when I get to polo, I can just snap it off in an instant and I'm ready to play.
The cage mount is made by German company SKS. Any cage will fit on it, but I decided to go with a plastic model from Top Peak. I primarily liked the design but also the colour option – gold matches my hubs ;-)
Surprisingly a lot of people haven't seen these brands before, but I'm sure they've got distribution in most countries, just get onto your local bike shop to order.

New York, NY -- The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) today issued important new guidance to help end the use of state criminal laws to prosecute and penalize people living with HIV for conduct that would be legal if they did not get tested or know their status. DOJ's guidance, titled "Best Practices Guide to Reform HIV-Specific Criminal Laws to Align with Scientifically-Supported Factors," rebuts the unsupported assumptions that triggered the adoption of most state criminal laws targeting HIV; outlines the impact on individuals and public health of the stigma these HIV-specific laws reinforce; and explains the current scientific knowledge and medical developments that compel reform.
"HIV criminalization laws are rooted in profound ignorance about the roots, risks and consequences of HIV transmission. This ignorance reflects and perpetuates stigma associated with an HIV diagnosis, and has no place in law and public policy," said Catherine Hanssens, Executive Director of The Center for HIV Law and Policy (CHLP). "Today's guidance is the first of its kind from a government law enforcement agency, and an important step in addressing that ignorance. The Department of Justice rightly focuses on three essential truths: that HIV is not an easy virus to transmit, that treatment and other risk-reduction methods can reduce that risk to negligible or zero, and that currently available therapies have transformed HIV into a manageable chronic disease."
Nearly two-thirds of U.S. states have HIV-specific laws that impose criminal sanctions on people who do not disclose their HIV positive status to a sexual partner or who engage in behavior -- such as spitting or biting -- that poses virtually no risk of transmitting HIV. Regardless of whether HIV transmission occurs, those who are charged are prosecuted as serious felons, often receive lengthy sentences, and in nine states are burdened with mandatory sex offender registration. The classification of HIV exposure and transmission as a serious felony is grossly out of proportion to the actual threat of harm.
"The DOJ guidance carefully outlines the facts that call for modification of sentences associated with HIV transmission or exposure -- the impact of current treatment options and the impact on life quality and expectancy. I wish the guidance more explicitly connected the dots by directly calling for an end to felony prosecutions. At the same time, this is the clear context for that information in the guidance," Hanssens noted.
A number of states also use general criminal charges such as assault or reckless endangerment to prosecute people living with HIV who are sexually active or who are charged following altercations with law enforcement personnel. The DOJ guidance does not directly address these laws, although its underlying rationale is applicable to all forms of state HIV criminal law policy.
"At 43 years old I never imagined how different my life would be because of my arrest and incarceration," says David Plunkett who was sentenced to 10 years in New York State, which has no HIV specific criminal law, for "assault with a deadly weapon" -- his saliva. "I also never realized the stigma attached to those with HIV and especially those who also have a criminal record. I should have been able to focus on my health and career, not battling a system that incarcerates those who live with a chronic illness, and remains uninformed about the nature and transmission of HIV."
Stigma associated with HIV is a barrier to testing, treatment, and prevention. Recent studies show that antiretroviral therapy can reduce the already-small per-act risk of transmission by an additional 96%, but approximately 16-20% of the one million Americans living with HIV do not know they have the virus and likely are the primary source of new infections. Those who are newly infected, when the level of HIV virus in their bodies is high, but who are unaware that they are infected, are the most likely to transmit HIV to another partner.
"Today, the risk of transmission of HIV from a patient taking effective medical therapy is close to zero, and the life expectancy of a newly diagnosed patient with HIV is nearly indistinguishable from his uninfected neighbor. But HIV remains with us and will do so as long as those who are infected are not diagnosed and treated," says Dr. Wendy Armstrong, Program Director for the Infectious Disease Fellowship Training Program at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. "Criminalization laws do nothing to advance individual or public health, but rather enhance stigma, embrace blame, and discourage testing. There are more effective means to combat this epidemic."
The guidance notes that many HIV-specific criminal laws run counter to scientific evidence about routes of HIV transmission, and undermine public health goals such as promoting HIV testing and treatment. DOJ recommends that states reform their laws to eliminate HIV-specific criminal penalties, with the exception of sentence enhancement in cases of sexual assault where HIV transmission could occur or in cases in which a person with HIV acts with the intention to transmit HIV and engages in conduct posing a significant risk of transmission.
The DOJ guidance is the product of two directives: one is President Obama's National HIV/AIDS Strategy, which tasked DOJ with assessing HIV criminal laws and offering technical assistance to states looking to reform their laws; the other is a Congressional Committee Report that accompanied the Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Appropriations Bill 2014, which called for similar action and an analysis of civil commitment laws used to extend the confinement of registered sex offenders. The DOJ guidance is available here.
Through the Positive Justice Project (PJP), a national coalition of organizations and individuals working to end HIV criminalization in the United States, CHLP is actively working with community advocates and people living with HIV across the country to modernize HIV-related criminal laws.

We wind up the Big Apple portion of the look back at the Washington Capitals' Patrick Division rivalries with a stop just back over the river in New Jersey and a team that spent a decade in transition from one of the league's bottom dwellers to a playoff contender while trying to fend off their Patrick Division rivals.
It was a long and winding road for the New Jersey Devils to become the "New Jersey Devils" of the National Hockey League's Patrick Division. It started in the same year that the Washington Capitals came into the league – 1974-1975. The other expansion team joining the league that season took up residence in Kansas City and was known as the "Scouts." It seemed to be an apt name. They started their inaugural season on the road for eight games (their new arena was not yet complete) before their franchise home opener – a 5-4 win over Washington.
Then, just two dismal (27-110-23 record) years later they hit the road for good, moving to Denver to become the "Colorado Rockies." Things were not much better in Denver. In six seasons in the Mile High City the Rockies posted a 113-281-86 record with one playoff appearance. Not even having Don Cherry behind the bench in the 1979-1980 season could raise them to respectability. After six seasons, much of which was spent hinting at a move to New Jersey under new ownership, the Rockies moved east, renamed the "New Jersey Devils" for the 1982-1983 season, the team that would be the last addition to the Patrick Division.
In the 11 years that the Caps and the Devils fought in the Patrick Division, the Caps recorded a 50-23-4 record against New Jersey, by far the Caps' best regular season record against a division rival. Only in 1989 (3-4-0) and 1993 (2-5-0) did the Caps finish the regular season with a losing record against New Jersey.
For the Caps and the Devils, the rivalry started something less than emphatically. When the teams got together for their first meeting as Patrick Division rivals in East Rutherford, NJ, on the night of November 8, 1982, the Caps were sitting in fifth place in the division with a 4-7-2 record, while the Devils were in the midst of a nine-game winless streak (0-7-2) that dropped them to 3-8-5 and fourth place in the division. The game did not give either team much comfort. First, paid attendance was only 10,273. Second, the teams skated to a 2-2 tie, the Devils scoring on a late goal by Jeff Larmer to even the score.
From that point forward, though, the Caps owned the Devils. They won the last six meetings that 1982-1983 season, and by the time the 1987-1988 season ended, the Caps had a 32-6-4 record against New Jersey in the Patrick Division. Washington outscored the Devils, 171-100, over those 42 games (4.07 goals per game to 2.38). The Devils managed consecutive games without a loss only once in that span, and that "streak" was split between two seasons, the Devils beating the Caps by a 3-2 score in their last meeting of the 1984-1985 season on March 28, 1985, then beating the Caps by a 4-1 margin in the teams' first meeting of the 1985-1986 season on October 12, 1985. At one point the Caps had a 19-0-1 record at home against New Jersey as Patrick Division rivals before losing at Capital Centre on March 20, 1988, by a 4-2 score.
That 1987-1988 season and that loss to the Devils at home to end the season series… Caps fans should have known. It would be the first in which the Devils would qualify for the post-season as a member of the Patrick Division. They did it by the width of their skate blades, finishing in a tie for fourth place in the division with the New York Rangers, but qualifying for the playoffs on the basis of having more wins (they actually lost their season series with the Rangers).
While the Capitals were battling the Philadelphia Flyers to a Game 7 overtime in the division semi-finals before advancing, the Devils were showing a certain resiliency in their first round matchup, upsetting the New York Islanders in six games after splitting the first four contests, both of the Devils' losses coming in overtime.
After their seven-game series against the Flyers, the upstart Devils might have seemed a lesser foe to the Caps in the division finals. The Caps might have been feeling even better after racing out to a 3-0 lead against the Devils in Game 1 on goals by Mike Ridley, Larry Murphy, and Scott Stevens before strangling the Devils over the remainder of the contest in a 3-1 win at Capital Centre.
The win came at a price, though. Late in the third period, Caps defenseman Rod Langway got tangled up with Devils' forward Pat Verbeek. In the moment, Verbeek's skate sliced through the back of Langway's calf. Langway skated off under his own power, a steak of red following him to the Capitals' bench. The injury to his leg would end his season...
Langway's absence was felt keenly and immediately. The Devils outscored the Caps, 15-6, in Games 2 and 3, including a 10-4 pasting in Game 3 in which the Devils' Patrik Sundstrom and Mark Johnson recorded hat tricks, Johnson finishing with four goals. Sundstrom finished with eight points, eclipsing Wayne Gretzky's record for points in a single playoff game. That still stands as an NHL playoff record, since tied by Mario Lemieux.
Then, it was Washington's turn to display their own brand of resilience. The Caps won Game 4 in New Jersey by a 4-1 margin, and after dropping Game 5 at home, 3-1, faced elimination in New Jersey in Game 6. The Devils opened the scoring just 18 seconds into the game when Claude Loiselle took advantage of indecision between goalie Pete Peeters and Scott Stevens over who would play a loose puck. Loiselle got to the puck before either of them and scored the game's first goal.
That would pretty much end the fun portion of the evening for the Devils and their fans. The Caps ran off six unanswered goals from six different players -- Mike Ridley, Dale Hunter, Steve Leach, Yvon Corriveau, Dave Christian, and Kelly Miller, for those keeping score – before the Devils' Dave Maley scored in the third period. Mike Gartner ended the scoring in the 7-2 win to set up a Game 7 at Capital Centre in Landover, MD.
Ah, but you know how such things end. The Caps could not duplicate their first round seventh game magic against the Flyers in the deciding game against the Devils. The Devils scored early once more, Kirk Muller scoring just 14 seconds into the contest. The Devils did not wilt this time, though. Claude Loiselle scored 12 minutes in to make it 2-0. The Caps rallied behind goals by Grant Ledyard and Kevin Hatcher in the second period to leave the teams tied at two goals apiece headed into the last 20 minutes.
It was John MacLean scoring 14 minutes into the third period, giving the Devils a 3-2 lead that they would carry to the final buzzer, eliminating the Caps. The series stands out, not just for the Caps losing their captain and on-ice leader for the last six games of the series, but for the mayhem on the ice. The teams combined for 654 minutes in penalties over the seven games, an NHL record for penalty minutes by two teams in a playoff series that still stands, as does New Jersey's 349 penalty minutes as a team. By way of comparison, the 2013 Stanley Cup champion Chicago Blackhawks played 23 games and compiled a total of only 209 penalty minutes.
The Caps would get a measure of revenge two years later when they met the Devils in the Patrick Division semi-finals. The Caps lost two of the first three games, all of the decisions of the one-goal variety. Game 4, however, would signal what was to come for the Capitals in the 1990 post season. With the game tied at 1-1, John Druce got what would be the game-winning goal (his second of the series) in what would be a Capitals 3-1 win. Druce went on to record 14 goals in 15 playoff games in 1990.
There was still unfinished business against the Devils, though. Washington got balanced scoring in Game 5 with Dale Hunter, Mike Ridley, Dino Ciccarelli and Geoff Courtnall scoring for the Caps. It was just enough for Don Beaupre, who stopped 17 of the 20 shots he faced in a 4-3 win for the Caps. In Game 6, the Devils squandered a chance early when defenseman Aleksei Kasatonov hit the post on a shot just four minutes into the game. The teams fought to a draw almost to the horn for the first intermission, but Steve Leach gave the Caps a 1-0 lead with 11 seconds left in the period when he intercepted defenseman Vyacheslav Fetisov's attempted clearing pass and fired the puck past goalie Chris Terreri.
The Caps took a 2-0 lead early in the second period on a goal by Geoff Courtnall, and the Devils halved the deficit on a goal by John MacLean late in the period. Not late enough, though. John Druce poked in his own rebound with less than a minute left in the second period to give the Caps a 3-1 lead at the second break. Peter Stastny got the Devils back within a goal early in the third period, but that was as close as the Devils could get, the Caps eliminating them with their 3-2 win.
The Caps and Devils would not meet again as Patrick Division foes in the playoffs. In fact, that 1990 series remains the last time those two teams met in the post-season. Although both teams would reach the playoffs in their last three seasons in the division, only the Caps would win a playoff series over that time, beating the Rangers in six games in 1991.
Over their last three seasons as Patrick Division foes, the Caps eked out an 11-10-0 regular season record over New Jersey. But even to the end it was an interesting rivalry. On April 10, 1993, the teams met for the final time as Patrick Division opponents. The Caps had clinched a spot in the post-season the previous night when the Pittsburgh Penguins beat the New York Rangers. The Devils were still in need of a win to reach the playoffs, though. They got off on the right foot on a goal by former Caps defenseman Scott Stevens in the first period. It was the springboard the Devils needed, building on that early goal for a 4-1 lead in the third period. The Caps then got two goals of their own, one of them by Bob Carpenter, now in his second tour with the Caps. It was not enough, however. Claude Lemieux scored late, and Craig Billington made the two-goal lead stand up in a 5-3 Devils win that brought the rivalry to a close. Carpenter would later go on to play for the Devils, and Billington would later tend goal for the Caps.
The stuff that makes for a devil of a rivalry.

Organisational culture can sometimes seem like an afterthought when there are so many economic, structural and market challenges to contend with. But to tackle these transformational issues most efficiently, a corresponding change in culture is required. A more agile, innovative, risk-conscious and customer-centric culture is set to be the primary competitive differentiator in the new landscape − if you want to spur real change and deliver real value, look at your people and the environment in which they operate.
Moreover, while regulators were once reluctant to impinge on culture, it's now at the top of their agenda as they seek to instil greater risk awareness and tighter safeguards for customers.
But while many insurers are seeking to remodel their culture for the new market realities, most are only scratching the surface because they're failing to translate their high level intentions into real changes in the way their people behave and make decisions. Communications and training alone won't drive change.
This paper suggests that you have to identify people's most telling habits and routines (the 'moments that matter') and actively shape them. The key to achieving this are what we believe are the five golden rules of a high performing culture:

While he has created multi-volume computer manuals and help text spanning software suites, he particularly enjoys writing blog posts, short articles, how-to's, and website copy.
When he's not busy serving client needs, Aurelio works out five times a week doing Crossfit and Olympic lifting, while maintaining a paleo diet. He enjoys model railroading and playing MMORPGs. As a theater buff, he's acted, directed, and written several plays that have been produced.
He also travels extensively to Southeast Asia, Europe, and USA. Some of his favorite spots include Paris, Malaysia, and Los Angeles. To interact better in foreign cultures, he studies foreign languages, including Spanish, Filipino, French, Italian, and German..
Because technical writing degrees did not exist at the time, Aurelio created his own program of study under the College of Engineering. He focused on computer documentation and technical translation. He graduate summa cum laude.
As a homeowner himself, Aurelio has first-hand experience with buying and selling property. (He also deals daily with such housing issues as finding better insurance, reducing maintenance expenses, or keeping the garage clean.) His real estate experience comes primarily from researching and ghost-writing blog posts for real-estate agents and websites.
Aurelio has been on both sides of the career desk. Like everyone else, he has experience looking for jobs. As a consultant in the computer industry, he's helped clients hire the right employees. When he cites career statistics, such as average salaries or employment projections, he prefers to use authoritative sources such as the U.S. Department of Labor.
Aurelio goes on several trips a year both domestically and internationally, usually by taking advantage of travel bargains or wrangling the best travel options from his frequent flyer miles. He believes in experiencing other countries in depth by learning the local language and customs, and spending at least a month in one location.
Aurelio developed much of his business expertise while working for a large corporation and running several small businesses, including a tech writing consultancy. Some of his specialties include operating a small business, hiring employees and improving cash flow. He prefers to rely on official government sources to back up his statistics.
Aurelio decided to major in Scientific and Technical Communications because he enjoys high-tech products and explaining how to use them. His expertise in the field covers consumer reviews, how-to blog posts, and user's guides for computer software and hardware. Two of his most well-known high-tech clients are Toshiba and Canon.
Like everyone in Southern California, Aurelio owns a car and by necessity has had to learn everything about this form of transportation. Trains are his hobby and his many air trips a year gives him insight into aviation from the passenger's point of view. His transportation clients have included auto insurance firms, lawyers, dealerships, and travel agents.
Much of Aurelio's technical writing career, both with Unisys and as a consultant, involved explaining software use to audiences ranging from general users to technical professionals. This experience has served him sell in writing user guides, help text, blog posts, and web articles about applications and operating systems. Clients have included software and hardware manufacturers, computer consultants, and software support services.
As a technical writer, Aurelio counts Canon and Toshiba among his more well-know hardware clients for online guides, user manuals, and help text. Online, he ghost-writes blog posts, how-to's, reviews, and web articles for hardware manufacturers, support services, and computer consultants. He primarily focuses on peripherals compatible with technology that uses the Windows operating systems but has written occasionally about Macintosh-compatible hardware.
Most people have no interest in learning about the law until they get into trouble and need the services of a lawyer. It's no wonder then that most of Aurelio's legal writing clients are lawyers who want blog posts that explain legal issues and why a law professional can be a consumer's best friend.
Aurelio's experience with home living topics has been primarily through ghost writing blogs for real estate agents, apartments, and interior designers. He enjoys explaining to homeowners and renters how to decorate their rooms, find housing bargains, and maintain their spaces. When possible he likes to use location-specific statistics when talking about prices and sales.
Aurelio enjoys explaining insurance issues to consumers, such as how to determine what coverage to get as a homeowner or how to avoid situations that require claims, such as car accidents. His knowledge and ability to explain issues in non-technical language has garnered him ghostwriting jobs on the blogs of insurance agents.
Aurelio is an experienced investor who has put his money into stocks, bonds, small businesses, and everything in between. He enjoys finding out about financial trends and informing his readers about them. He likes to convert complex data about money and economics into how-to's and explanations that the average consumer can understand.
Aurelio is an avid fitness fanatic, having gone to a Crossfit gym three times a week for over four years. He also learns Olympic lifting twice a week and recently completed his first Crossfit competition. His regimen has produced a permanent weight-loss of 30 pounds and removed his dependence on cholesterol-lowering drugs. He can thus speak from personal experience when writing for gyms, exercise programs, and weight-loss producers.
Aurelio has written reviews, buying guides, and how-to's about appliances for shopping sites and blogs created by appliance stores and appliance repair services. His technical writing background enables him to understand home appliances and explain their use to non-technical consumers. As with many consumers, much of his knowledge comes from personal use of washers, dryers, microwaves, refrigerators, ovens and other common household machines.
Aurelio's gaming experience began with hard-copy strategy wargames, play-by-mail, and role-playing games. (His first book was GURPS Aztecs, a gaming supplement for Steve Jackson Games. It's still sold as an ebook.) His gaming now focuses on MMORPGs, such as World of Warcraft, and computer games, such as the SIMS 4 and Civilization. He's written strategy guides, reviews, and how-to's for gaming blogs.

I has a mini brick wall concerning my husbands 2x great grandparents. On their son's (Robert Stephens) Civil War information records it stated he was born in 1845 Doncaster England and came to this country in the early 1850's.
Checking the British BMD data base I found a couple that fit the ages, and names of Charles Stephens (1818-- ) and Hannah Lonsdale (1823- ) marriage. The marriage occurred in the parish church in the county of York and town of Leeds, on 27 November 1842. Charles's father was James, a farmer and Hannah Lonsdale's father was, John Lonsdale, also a farmer. I felt this was the right couple as the marriage record but did not have the proof.
Charles was a florist at the time. I first found Charles and Hannah in Allegheny City (now Pittsburgh) in the 1870 census and his occupation was a gardener. They still lived there in the 1880 census and after that time Charles and Hannah disappeared of the face of the earth, or so it seems. I have been searching for them in the local cemeteries but have not found them.
Robert was not living with the family at that time, he was living in Allegheny County with his first wife Sarah. There was documentation about Sarah and their marriage in the Civil War Pension file. When Robert Stephens died his wife did not know the names of his parents.
What I did was search the Pennsylvania Death Certificates 1906-1924 and tried to find his siblings. After a search I came upon the death of his brother James H Stephens and it did indeed list the parents as Charles Stephens and Anna Lonsdale. Mission accomplished..Seems that James was named after Charles's father.

How the other half lives
It was about a week ago when friends came round to pick up their dog. Mrs Grumble looks after Fido while they are on their yacht. Not many of Dr Grumble's friends have yachts but these friends do. Miriam is a housewife and Timothy works for a large accountancy firm. You would all have heard of this firm. It's big. It's global and from time to time it is called in by the NHS for audits or to tell us we are inefficient and need to sack staff. That's how they make their money. That's why Timothy has a yacht.
But this is not about jealousy. The weather is too cold for yachting. Dr Grumble would prefer to walk the dog in the snow than be out on the sea. Besides Mrs Grumble gets seasick. This is about something seasonal which irritates Dr Grumble year after year after year.
About a month ago Edward Grumble, who is an F1 doctor, phoned up and in a bewildered voice explained to Dr Grumble that he would have to work over Christmas. Not just a bit of Christmas but all of it. It seems that even Edward Grumble, Dr Edward Grumble, thinks the patients go home for Christmas. This expectation of having Christmas Day off is a new thing. Dr Grumble's own staff seem perplexed that they might have to work on Christmas Day. When Grumble was a house physician he knew he might well have to work at Christmas because we all worked virtually all the time. That may sound bad but things are much worse now. You see in Grumble's time there was a doctors' mess where they really looked after you. On Christmas Day you would get a turkey. An enormous whole roasted turkey to carve. And before your Christmas lunch you would be on the ward with more proper turkeys that the consultant surgeons wearing chef's hats would expertly carve for their patients. Christmas in the hospital was fun. The consultants came in laden with presents. Sherry was drunk on the ward. Nobody minded if you had a tiny glass. There was a wonderful camaraderie.
Fun has long gone from the average NHS hospital over Christmas. Things have changed. Thanks to Timothy's company we now run lean wards. Lean is, of course, a euphemism for thin. Skeletal would be more accurate. The juniors can't stop for a moment any more. Skeleton staffing means they have too much work. Traditional firm structures have been destroyed. There is just no time for fun. Especially not at Christmas. There's no way you will get a turkey to carve. You will be lucky if the food vending machines are filled. Where Edward Grumble works in a large university hospital it must be the same. When Mrs Grumble telephoned him yesterday she asked what he was doing. He was in Marks and Spencer buying a Christmas dinner ready meal for one. How sad is that?
Anyway Timothy and Miriam came back from their day's yachting last week and said they were thinking of throwing a party on 29th December and they might not hold the party unless the Grumbles could come. Now that's a wonderful compliment but it started making Dr Grumble's hackles rise because it was clear that Timothy's company had given him the whole week off. Dr Grumble immediately apologised and explained that he had a ward round followed by a clinic. He would not be back in time for the drinks. The 29th is a normal working day in the NHS; getting to a party is just not on. A look of utter bewilderment went over Miriam's face. It was as if she had never heard of a ward round. She almost seemed suspicious that this was a quickly thought up excuse. Nobody could possibly have work to do between Christmas and the New Year. Mrs Grumble gently explained that she too was working. Like Dr Grumble she has targets to meet. In her case the target is two weeks which is tight. You can't have a week off over Christmas and meet your targets.
Who are these people who tell us that government services are inefficient and their employees mollycoddled? Try telling that to my neighbour whose daughter will be fighting in Afghanistan over Christmas. Compared with some, Dr Grumble and his family are lucky. Very lucky.

The Office of Technology Commercialization (OTC) at the University of California at Riverside (UCR) facilitates the development, protection and commercialization of UCR's campus research and intellectual property. The OTC assists in the invention disclosure process of UCR's innovative technologies and the legal protection of researcher's developed intellectual property. The OTC provides the financial resources and management of the costs/benefits associated with intellectual property development at UCR. The OTC seeks out commercial parties which in turn are licensed UCR's technologies, the goal being to bring technologies to the marketplace for the benefit to society. The OTC provides information and counseling for UCR's faculty and staff on all aspects of intellectual property arising from their research activities, consulting relationships and industrial collaborations. The OTC also coordinates with other agencies to promote local and regional economic development based on UCR research and innovations.
Part of UCR's public service mission is to ensure that the results of its research are made available for the public's use and benefit. UCR transfers its developed technologies through the education of students, publication of research, and the development of inventions which are transformed by the commercial marketplace into products and services that are available to the public. UCR maintains an active patenting and patent licensing program to help facilitate this activity on behalf of UCR. UCR licenses intellectual property to industry to promote active development and commercialization of inventions. Invention related royalty revenue supports further research and education at UCR, with a share of the income going to the inventor(s). The OTC oversees the intellectual property aspect of these inventions to assure that UCR meets its patent-related obligations to sponsors of research. UCR increasingly is called upon to participate in a broad spectrum of research relationships with governmental agencies, nonprofit foundations and industry. These relationships encompass traditional extramural research funding arrangements and a variety of research collaborations, multi-party research consortia, student and faculty personnel visits, and shared use of external equipment and facilities. When properly aligned, all such relationships can help both UCR and the external parties advance their respective and mutual research interests. These relationships increase the opportunities for the development of inventions with practical applications. UCR's inventions come from a wide variety of innovative technical areas including plant varieties, plant genomics, biomedical sciences, materials science, engineering and life sciences.

For the past few years, the RIAA and IFPI have targeted music fans in the US, Western Europe, and Australia via lawsuits and other means. Those two entities have also lent their supportalbeit grudgingly at firstto online music retailers like Apple's iTunes Music Store, Napster, and others in an attempt to guide the music-loving public into its preferred music sales model.
However, certain regions remain outside the RIAA's and IFPI's sphere of influence. One of those is Russia. A number of music download services operate out of that country, including the well-known allofmp3.com. None of them have the blessing of the IFPI or any of the labels to offer music for sale, yet they have been given the green light to stay in business by Russian law enforcement. A loophole in Russian copyright law allows Allofmp3.com and other sites to continue operations because they don't deal with physical media, much to the chagrin of the labels.
Now the RIAA is attempting to gain the support of the US government in its fight against the Russian music download services. A resolution passed shortly before the Senate recessed for the holidays mirrors an earlier House resolution calling for the Russian Federation to "provide adequate and effective protection of intellectual property rights, or it risks losing its eligibility to participate in the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) program." The GSP allows products from favored countries to be imported into the US duty-free.
In a statement, RIAA CEO Mitch Bainwol hailed the resolution, which lacks the force of law:
"The U.S.-Russia relationship must be built upon a mutual understanding of shared obligations and the application of the rule of law. The effective protection of American intellectual property has been sorely lacking in Russia. This resolution is significant because it expresses the will of the U.S. Congress that Russia must take effective action against those who would steal America's knowledge-intensive intellectual property-based goods and services. We must not enter into political arrangements with countries ill-prepared to adequately protect our greatest economic assets."
In recent years, the US has been more aggressive in pushing its own vision of copyright and intellectual property protection on its allies and trading partners. As part of a free-trade pact signed between the US and Australia in 2004, Australia agreed to pass and enforce laws very similar to those on the books in the US, including the infamous DMCA. The US government has also pressured nations that allow widespread piracy to crack down on local companies that make unauthorized copies of CDs and DVDs.
While it's true that Russian services such as Allofmp3.com operate without the approval of the RIAA and IFPI, the fact that they are apparently thriving should be telling the recording industry something about the market. Allofmp3.com offers consumers an almost endless array of inexpensive choices when it comes to buying music. Customers can choose their preferred file format, bit rate, and a very extensive catalog of artists and recordings, all without DRM restrictions. Imagine that... giving consumers what they want instead of forcing low bitrates and restrictions on where and how the music can be played back. If US and Western European music stores offered the same amount of flexibility on bitrates and formats, chances are good that consumers wouldn't bother with Russian services, even if it cost a bit more.

How widespread is the flu this year? Very. So far, it's spread to 47 states and it hasn't even peaked yet, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The effects are being felt on an individual level and also on a large scale.
The mayor of Boston, Thomas Menino, has declared a public health emergency because of an explosive rise in flu cases. In Kiefer, Okla., with the absentee rate in schools due to flu hitting 25 percent, the school district announced it would cancel classes. In Cleveland, a flu task force meets for 20 minutes every morning to handle the overflow of those sick with the flu at the University Hospitals Case Medical Center. The emergency room at Ohio State University's Wexner Medical Center in Columbus has instituted a fast-track system to move college students with the flu quickly through the emergency room to keep space free for older, more vulnerable patients.
The best defense we have against the flu is a shot. Still, some people resist getting one. Some say they just don't work that well. Others have concerns about the contents of the vaccine. Others just think the shots aren't that necessary and they'd rather take their chances and power through the flu if they get sick. But here's the thing: a flu shot isn't just for you -- it's also for those around you.
For those who still say the flu isn't really serious, consider the death toll so far — Minnesota has had 27 flu-related deaths reported; Pennsylvania 22; Massachusetts, 18; Oklahoma, 8, Illinois, 6, and Maryland 1. Nine nursing home residents have died in New York. Twenty infants and children have died nationwide. And those are just the confirmed flu death cases. When someone starts to go on about the risks and dangers of flu shots a quick visit to the morgue should suffice to shut them up.
Things are only going to get worse. We are barely half way through the flu season. It's a nasty flu, making healthy people very sick and sick people in need of intensive care or worse.
This year the efficacy of the flu shot is about 62 percent. That is not a great number, but it is not bad. It's still worth getting one. The ethical reasons go far beyond your personal self-interest.
First, you ought to get a flu shot in order to protect those who cannot benefit from them. Second, the more folks who get vaccinated the harder it is for the flu to spread. Flu vaccination does a community a lot of good.
Newborns and those who are immune-compromised due to diseases, transplants, or cancer therapies cannot benefit from flu shots — they lack enough immunity capability. The elderly don't build as much resistance to flu from a shot as do the young. And fetuses are at risk of dying from the flu unless their mothers get a shot.
The best protection those in these high-risk groups have is for those they come in contact with to have been vaccinated. Doing the right thing means protecting your grandma, your neighbor's new baby and your son's friend with primary immunodeficiency disease from being infected by -- you. You may not die from the flu. They could.
In addition to protecting those who cannot protect themselves there is strength in numbers in flu vaccination. The more of us who get vaccinated, even with a less than perfect vaccine, the harder it is for the flu virus to spread. This is called "herd immunity" and it applies to people as well as animals. If you think of yourself as a good neighbor and a responsible member of your community then you ought to get a shot so everyone gets the maximum benefit.
That is a hard message to get across. Most people naturally assume that if someone is sticking a needle in their arm it is to prevent them from getting sick. In fact, flu vaccination is for your family's good, your neighbor's good and the good of the newborn baby down the street.
A lot of us don't like needles. But that is not enough reason to put others at risk. Many think they never get very sick from the flu. Some don't, but they can still infect someone else.
Some still worry about the safety of the vaccine even though study after study shows the shots are safe and that getting a shot is far, far more beneficial than not getting one.
But, all that said, the best arguments for everyone to get a flu shot is that if we all do, the most vulnerable will be far less likely to die and we will be far less likely to infect one another. Don't be selfish. Take care of your neighbor. Find a store or doctor that still has vaccine and get a shot.
Arthur Caplan, Ph.D., is the head of the Division of Medical Ethics at NYU Langone Medical Center.

I'm telling you next it will be us fat employees.
Oops, I mean gravity-challenged employees.
Employers ponder tough tactics to halt smoking
Victoria Colliver, Chronicle Staff Writer
Howard Weyers tried the "carrot" approach by giving his employees incentives and encouragement to quit smoking. But when that didn't work, he resorted to the stick. A big stick.
Weyers, owner of a health care benefits administrator in Lansing, Mich., gave his 200 employees an ultimatum in 2004: Quit smoking in 15 months or lose your job. He refused to hire smokers. Ultimately, he extended his smoking ban to employees' spouses and monitored compliance through mandatory random blood testing.
Weyers, owner of a health care benefits administrator in Lansing, Mich., gave his 200 employees an ultimatum in 2004: Quit smoking in 15 months or lose your job. He refused to hire smokers. Ultimately, he extended his smoking ban to employees' spouses and monitored compliance through mandatory random blood testing.
Weyers' method, while effective, wouldn't fly in California because the state has laws that prohibit employers from making hiring or firing decisions based on employee participation in a legal activity. But participants in a smoking cessation forum hosted Monday by the Commonwealth Club of California found the idea nonetheless intriguing.
"We're talking about ending an epidemic. This is a global pandemic," said Dr. Julie Gerberding, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, likening Weyers' approach to controlling an outbreak of disease.
About 45 million Americans, 4 million of whom live in California, smoke cigarettes despite more than three decades of public efforts to encourage people to quit.
California, on both the state and local levels, has been at the forefront of anti-smoking efforts with laws to ban smoking in public places. A law went into effect in January that prohibits drivers from smoking when children are in the car. Still, smoking costs the state an estimated $8.6 billion in direct medical costs and $7.3 billion in lost productivity a year, according to the California division of the American Cancer Society.
In addition to lost work hours, employers have a vested interest in getting their workforce to kick the habit, given that they pay a large portion of health care costs and are the main source of health insurance for more than half the population.
At Monday's event, officials from the California Public Employees' Retirement System, the third-largest purchaser of health care in the country, said they asked the three health insurers that provide coverage for the fund's 1.2 million state and local employees to increase member participation in smoking cessation programs by 20 percent next year.
"We don't want to know if there's a cost associated with this. It's in (the health plans') best interest and ours to do this," said CalPERS spokesman Brad Pacheco.
Safeway Inc. announced that its Pleasanton headquarters will become smoke- and tobacco-free as of July 1, with the ban extending to all regional offices in Canada and the United States as of Sept. 1. Safeway already requires nonunion employees who do not participate in smoking-cessation efforts to pay more for their health premiums and is in discussions to extend the policy to union workers.
Safeway prefers to influence its smokers through incentives rather than penalties, said Larree Renda, an executive vice president with the grocery chain. "Our focus right now has been one of being supportive and trying to help people quit smoking," she said.
Renda took considerable heat from audience members because she works for a company that espouses healthy lifestyles but sells tobacco products. Renda said Safeway has no plans to quit selling tobacco because it does not dictate what legal products its customers should buy, and ceasing cigarette sales would put the company at a competitive disadvantage.
Meanwhile, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors is considering a law that would ban the sale of cigarettes and tobacco products in the city's drugstores.
Panel members had several suggestions for employers, such as providing benefits that cover smoking cessation programs, medications and counseling. A major hurdle to such efforts is the fact that employees change jobs frequently and typically have to change health benefits with each job.
California employers do not have to offer smoking cessation programs to employees. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed a 2005 bill by former state Sen. Debra Ortiz, D-Sacramento, that would have required health insurers that cover prescriptions to include coverage for programs to help people quit smoking. The governor, a cigar smoker himself, supports increasing cigarette taxes.
On the federal level, Congress is considering a bill that would give the U.S. Food and Drug Administration greater authority to regulate tobacco products. The bill, which is endorsed by Philip Morris USA, is controversial in part because it bans all flavored cigarettes except menthol, which are particularly popular among African Americans.

Classroom: Technology Assessment
What do high-speed rail, spinal implants, and lie detectors have in common? They're all among the technologies Thayer Master of Engineering Management (M.E.M.) students investigate in ENGM 178: Technology Assessment. By analyzing prevalent and emerging technologies, students can recommend and justify actions for the technologies' future development — and acquire analytical experience for future careers.
"A technology assessment task or function is likely one of the things they will get assigned to do early in their careers," says Professor and M.E.M. program director Robert Graves, who teaches the course. "The nature of technology assessment and the way we do the course causes them to sometimes move outside the specifics of their engineering discipline preparation. We might have a student who's a civil engineer in preparation but doing a technology assessment project on a chemical-related project area like methane hydrates, so it broadens their technical breadth."
The approximately 50 students in the fall-term course spent the first few weeks learning assessment tools, such as the Delphi method (querying experts on a problem until a consensus is reached), cross-impact analysis (identifying the effects that multiple events have on each other), and exponential smoothing for forecasting data. Then teams got down to assessing actual technologies under the guidance of a faculty advisor and an outside mentor associated with the field.
For their project, students Prateek Reddy and Yiming Liu chose to study the LCD monitor technologies for General Electric Healthcare's C-Arm surgery device. The two worked on cutting costs by finding off-the-shelf LCD monitors to replace the current custom-made monitors that GE Healthcare has been using. "We've found a few alternative monitors that meet most requirements," Reddy reported during the term, "and we want to explore the future of these devices as well as the possibilities of using other technologies to make the monitors more user-friendly."
Reddy likes what the course demands. "The course blends my technological background and the skills that I wanted to develop in the M.E.M. program, like teamwork and communication," he says.
Reddy's project advisor, Professor Solomon Diamond, says he tries to prepare students for the competitive global marketplace. "I guide them to challenge the assumptions that they encounter and develop their own understanding of the technology," he says. "Then I guide them to envision the unanticipated future trajectories and consequences of the technology. I hope that the students learn how to think critically and operate intelligently in a world of complex technology, fiercely competitive markets, and multifaceted social, political, environmental, and ethical factors."

Terribly sad. At least one of the teachers could have given the student a time to meet.
Even with all the BS, the job is supposed to be about students like this.
Stories like this give public school teachers a bad name at a time when we need all the positive feedback we can get.

Not Answerable....4 teachers would never be just sitting before 1st period. Hence, as this is a fictitious situation, the answers are a moot point.

This week's set is 6059 Catapult.
Knight's Stronghold, a gate and wall section for the Black Monarch's, was released in 1990. This is one of several wall sections that attach to the Black Monarch's Castle. The wall includes three Monarch guards, a jail, two large doors, torches, shields and other accessories. Black Falcon soldiers, including a fully armored knight and a siege worker, are attacking the wall with a trebuchet.

After a little research I learned that the watercolor paintings are all by the artist Holly Houk. She was commissioned by Kwiat to create a vintage-style backdrop for their latest advertising campaign of blue-tinted watercolor "models" for the jewels to lay over.
I think these ads are divine. I commend Kwiat on thinking outside the box and wish more brands would take advantage of all the talented painters, illustrators and artists out there.

Artis Gilmore Article Published in Dec. 9 Issue of Sports Collectors DigestArtis Gilmore ranks first in NBA/ABA history in career regular season field goal percentage, third in blocked shots (this statistic was not recorded during the careers of Wilt Chamberlain and Bill Russell), fifth in rebounds and 18th in points. He was the 1975 ABA Playoff MVP, leading the Kentucky Colonels to the championship. Prior to that he enjoyed a distinguished collegiate career at Jacksonville, becoming one of only five Division I players to average 20-plus points and 20-plus rebounds for a career. It is inexplicable and inexcusable that he has not been inducted in the Basketball Hall of Fame.
The December 9 issue of Sports Collectors Digest contains my lengthy profile of Gilmore's career, including the A-Train's recollections of playing against UCLA in the 1970 NCAA Championship, facing off against Wilt Chamberlain in the 1972 NBA-ABA All-Star Game and competing against Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in the 1983 Western Conference Finals.
