Part 1 – Introduction, Concepts and Models.
How to draw flowchart business processes – Part 1 of 3- Introduction, Concepts and Models.
Often we are faced with the difficulty that those responsible for processes in organizations have to show them graphically. In order to assist colleagues in this activity in this article we describe a simple method, but at the same time is very useful and practical.
Let's use in the manufacture of this article, streams and graphs drawn using Microsoft Visio, however the player may use any other tool available in the market, including free tools.
Our goal here is not to evaluate this or that tool, or determine whether a tool is better than another, or the possibility of using other models and formats for documenting processes. Our goal is to describe a method that the reader can easily learn and apply in the documentation of its processes.
1 – Introduction to the processes study
Before discussing the technique to be used in the design itself of the processes is necessary that our reader has an understanding of the basic principles of processes, so that we will cover the major topics and in this sense even knowledge.
1.1 – Process Basic Components
By definition, a "process" should have a set of basic components to be
considered a process, they are: Component "input", based on this component is carried out the activities of "processing" and as a result will produce an any "output ".
1.2 – Quality Control between Process Components
Like any activity intended to produce something, the process requires the completion of control activities to ensure their quality and that should be applied to each of its components (Input-Process-Output).
By doing so we avoid communication errors or gaps between the elements of the process within the universe understood by the process itself.
Translating this in a more clear:
1.3 – Inter-Process Quality Control
However, a process is not an element of absolute and restricted himself, possibly at some point will depend on other processes to be "fed" and possibly, after performing its own processing, it will "feed" another process through its "product" and so on.
Given this, it is good practice to consider actions of quality control also between processes, and thereby ensure the quality and integration between them, ie, it is important to ensure that the "product" generated by a "supplier process " is validated by himself before being communicated to your "Customer Process".
Translating this in a more clear:
In theory, when we act this way, "Process Performer" would not need to validate their "inputs" to proceed when the receipt of his "entry", since this should have occurred previously in the "Provider Process", little carry out even before the release of "output".
However, if we check the quality only once, we are subject to occurrence of a fault in the output of "Process supplier" and not always the "Quality declared" in the output of a process, will fulfill the quality requirements needed to meet the "entry" to the next process.
Practical Example:
Try to run life cycle of a project to develop systems, where each step of the cycle can be likened to a process. When we do not do these checks in and out at each stage of the production process of the system, the degree of variation of the resulting product will be a factor of error rates occurring at each stage, (the result will be measured by multiplying the rates error in each step, the error rates of the following steps, and so
on), this is the mathematical explanation of possible distances between the "original requirement of the business" and the "work product" project, note that first of all a methodology is a process and can be used in formulating the concept of quality control in formatting steps or stages of an MDS – Software Development Methodology).
Translating this in a more clear:
Once you understand these components and the basic criteria of quality review and integration between the components of a process and processes between suppliers and client processes, we return to our initial goal, which is graphically demonstrate the business processes through flowcharts.
2 – Standard Symbology
There are several possible patterns of symbols to draw flowcharts of processes, including standards and specifications for technical design and software, data models and many others. We adopt here a very simple model composed of a small number of symbols, but suffice to establish a business process using a flowchart.
They are:
3 – The Model Structure of the Process Flowchart.
There are several possible ways to structure a process flow diagram, to map the most appropriate process is called (CROSS-FUNCTIONAL), which could be translated roughly as "flowchart crossover between functions."
In this format, the flowchart enables the inclusion of information in addition
to the sequence of activities provided by the sequencing of symbols, and it is
possible to segment the design process in "sectors / cells" like a mother, being
inserted in the lines or the Actors functions responsible for implementation of
activities and steps in the existing columns in a given process.
See how the design would be a process following the structure Cross-Functional in Landscape view:
The same process, following the vision in Cross-Functional portrait view:
And yet, the same process using the free form usually used.
Note that the additional information present in the two previous options are in fact the difference in understanding the process.

NEW YORK (AP) Bill Cowher has added a bit of intrigue to the NFL coaching carousel, telling Newsday he probably will return to the sideline at some point.
The 55-year-old Cowher coached the Pittsburgh Steelers from 1992-2006, winning a Super Bowl after the 2005 season. He is now a TV analyst for CBS.
He tells the newspaper on Tuesday the challenge of returning to coaching after a long layoff is motivation for him to come back. But he says hasn't been contacted by any of the five NFL teams hunting for a new head coach, and he isn't tempted by any of those opportunities either.
Cowher's career coaching record is 149-90-1. The Steelers went 8-8 in his final season.

What If Albert Were Really Hurt?
The early indications on the hamstring injury that caused Albert Pujols to exit early from the Sunday Night game against Cincinnati are mild and not dramatic.
But what if it were the other way around? What impact would a serious hamstring injury have not merely on the Cards' extraordinary dependence on Pujols, but on what would shape up as the most extraordinary free agency since Alex Rodriguez left the Mariners in the winter of 2000?
What would happen to his $30 million dollar dreams if he didn't play again this year? Or was hamstrung by the hamstring, or any of a hundred other calamities? Not wishing him any of these in the slightest, but that limp last night made the prospect of an injury that could cost a man $200,000,000 very real indeed.
I would guess the answer is no, but it is wonderful to speculate if the thought even crossed his mind when Pujols told reporters:
"I just felt a little tight, and I just pulled off. I think I prefer it tight than a blown-out hamstring, you know? It's something that, I have to deal with it. It's been rough here the last week or so with the rain and all that, and our bodies take a little beating."
To say nothing, theoretically, of our wallets.
13 Comments
This is one more example of why it doesn't make sense for teams to sign these long-term contracts. But then, if the owners are that stupid, so be it.
A similar story is found in the Hornets/Lakers game last night. In the final moments (literally!) of the game, Kobe crashed into Chris Paul as hard as he could. Now, the "common taters" point out that he was a little tripped up. Please. I think the Lakers are cheaters. In fact, when I saw that Cheaters was coming on, I tuned in, thinking it was the Lakers/Hornets game. Kobe limped around and grimaced for a bit. "Oh NO!" thought the world. What if he would be OUT? Geez. Well, within seconds, he was flying around that New Orleans home court like a bee was in his bonnet! He whizzed way up and down the planks. (Stage planks, to be sure!) I had recently commented to my best pal who is a fed judge that I think they cheat. She said they call it game strategy. I respect her opinion very much, but I still had to yell all kinds of epithets at the screen, and even on Easter night! I kept stopping myself and telling the cat I was sorry for the outbursts. I just don't know about these injuries, these weathered bodies beaten by rain. It is hard to figure out what is real and not so real. Keith, I know you are real. As always, I love your last line. Everybody's wallet gets a beating now! Thanks.
I was watching the Mets game and Ron and Gary were talking about how all the oblique injuries may be due to the use of creatine in the post-steroids era (I hope) as a way of building muscle mass. Funny how ballplayers will do anything to get an edge– even if it leads to injury. Personally, I don't want to see a lot of Jamey Carroll-type players boring me to sleep but at the other extreme the Superman-type (aka Pujols-type) player is maybe something we fans should get over. With so many finely tuned athletes competing against each other and the game belonging to the young again, maybe we should just appreciate the one-season wonders and great team stories, as opposed to great player stories. Did you watch the MLB Network pieces on the offseason training rituals of King Felix, Doc Halladay and Adrian Gonzalez? I'm all for a great work ethic but I'd like to know it's what they have in their heart and head that makes them winners and not just obsessive conditioning.
A hamstring pull can be a very debilitating injury. I know because I suffered one about a year and a half ago. The injury should self-heal in about a month – my last one lasted Two Months! A hampull can be so serious as to make it impossible to virtually enter even a car door, use steps and so on. Ambulation without a cane or some other aid is almost impossible.
And a hampull can be an "insidious" injury, the afflicted individual may find themselves experiencing a "twinge" in their glute/s and write it off as a charley horse. Then it continues to escalate to the point where ambulation is almost impossible.
Not only that – but the pain can be excruciating. If serious enough, the doctors may treat the pain with lidocaine injections (or stronger?), hot therapy and more therapy – I would guess. Here's hoping that Albert Pujols's hampull is not that serious! If he does have one – he could be out for a couple of months…ouch.
i think i prefer the billy beene or marlins use of players in relation to money. don't offer contracts into an age where they will not produce, and do not wrap up 30 percent of your payroll in one guy. never, ever sign more than 5 years. it is just smarter.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch printed salaries of the opening day roster back then. I thought $900,000 for his 3rd year was preposterously low, little did I know that was a high number.
"On February 18, 2004, I broke the story of an event that was unprecedented in Major League Baseball. Albert Pujols agreed to terms on a seven-year, $100 million contract extension with the St. Louis Cardinals that would expand to $111 million if the eighth year option was picked up by the club." said Brian Walton at http://thecardinalnationblog.com/2011/02/18/seven-years-ago-today-announcing-pujols%E2%80%99-new-contract/
Having returned to baseball after falling out of love with it during the Rhoids problem with Mark Mcgwire, the 60 minutes piece a couple of weeks ago on Albert brought the game back into a hopeful field of dreams where good guys work hard and win. I no longer fear Albert is juicing. His unpublicized hospital stops here in St. Louis and publicized meet ups with Haitian Earthquake survivors like Jean Patrick, the kid with the metal leg, are enough to make me feel like there is a hero in this game once again. I personally don't think that Albert could be changed by an increase or decrease in his rate of pay. His fight each day is one of revenge. The draft is the ghost that Albert keeps chasing. Nothing will change that, not a serious or minor hamstring injury, not a potential financial shortfall, nothing short of an amputation of the heart would suffice. Babe Ruth has a challenger.
Albert has not contributed much to the team so far and they are in first place. Albert is looking over his shoulder and if he wants the big payday he needs to get his head out of wherever it is and start producing. Frankly, I am beginning to feel he is more trouble than he is worth.

With time, people get use to organic oatmeal and then are able to entirely eliminate sugar loaded breakfast cereals.
One of the main benefits of vibration plates is their ability to allow diabetics (who may have
difficulty walking) and the more elderly to keep their muscles
in shape. Whole grains and nuts are a vital food source and boost your energy immediately.
Today people spend a lot of money for medicines and treatments to reduce their
weight. You can either get it from fish or from certain nuts and
seeds. How much easier does it get when everything you need can be where you need it, when you need it.
-Buy a NUTRITION ALMANAC and become familiar with what foods contain which
elements. Note how I stayed on the first level of each activity for the first week and incorporating one new pose, exercise, an aerobic activity per day.

Hello [You], here is my friend [Ignore-list]
[Ignore-list], this is my friend [You]
This guide is split to [4] parts; introducing you the simpliest ways to have yourself in the minds of the most players on your realm.
Toons needed:
-Two weeks time
-Active World of Warcraft Account
-Level 60 (or over) character
-a Notepad
-Image editing application (Preferably Adobe Photoshop)
-Anger against the residents of WoW
Chapter [1] - Base information of your realm
I) Find out, from progress-tracking sites the top guild(s) of your realm. Use eu.wowarmory.com to see their officers' and guild leaders' names. Add those names to your notepad:
[Guild]..............................[Guild Master].......................[Notable Officers]
Kawhoom....................... Kawhoom...........................Flamingdeath, Smuci
Alius Orbis.......................Brimer...............................Senä, Paladish, Mellows
II) Add characters above to your friends-list.
III) Daily whisper them:
-When they log-in
-an Hour after they've logged-in
-During their raid
-When you're going to log-off.
Your evolving should look like:
Chapter [2] - Language and inter-activity
I) You will be aiming to mention your "enemies' " family and relatives in your mean sentences.
-Stick swearwords and disrespecting names such as "Nerd, faggot" to your sentences.
-Don't save your words, afterall - bans just increase your reputation -
Chapter [3] - Advertisement & Visibility
You'll want to be seen with your messages. Instead of chatting with friend with [Speak], use [Trade Channel]. Always start and end your sentences with symbols (Moon, Star, Square, Triangle, Skull, Diamond etc.). The most "visibility" marks are {Moon}, {Star} and {Skull}.
-Typing erorrs
You can also seek raids with this tactic. Basically, here are a few examples:
Chapter [4] - Dirty Tricks
Outside the game? -I want to be the KING there too!
> Screenshots are your friends. You should basically take screenshot of all of your convertisations. This sounds crazy - yes - but against the "general information"; screen shot folder doesn't slow your computer. I - myself - still have screenshots from my vanilla, tBC & WotLK times. You'll never know when your best friend turns against you!
Okay, I have screenshots - now what?
I) Now, make level one [1] character to some realm. Name should be the same, who you want to "destroy".
II) Whisper yourself, and take screenshots. Good sentence would be "Hey, I've been thinking of leaving my guild... you know how gay my Guildmaster is? He f**ks his sister."
III) Crop your "self-sent" message's "[W From]"-part, and copy/paste it over some boring chat you have had with your friend.
Now just to publish your art works! Sending them as a gallery link via imageshack.us is imo the best way :-)
Chapter [1/2/3/4,5] Results
-After working like this, I've earned the following in my WoW career:
-18 x 2h suspension
-4 x 4h suspension
-2 x 48h suspension
-Permanent WoW-forum bans
-Ignore by 50% of the population of Agamaggan EU-PvP
(PS.) All the character names in this post, are NOT fictive nor changed.
Wishing all the best regards,
Neuron of Agamaggan EU-PvP

Vilnius, 1905. Free city, roamed by dirigibles, air balloons and steam carriages. Alchemists and mechanics build
and operate incredible machines and automatons. Powerful neighbours feel challenged by the innovations of the free city.
The game can be played in a traditional "touch" way or you can do everything by voice – noise will make the balloon to go up, silence will let it down. You can even drop parcels or bombs by making short loud noise or by shaking the device.
There are 16 missions in this game. Each mission is unique - you have to complete the task to go to the next one. This game is a mix of action and adventure and quest and puzzle solving. It does require some strategic thinking. Each level of the game is unique piece of art - all the images were hand-drawn on paper, in an old-fashioned way.

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band haven't put their glory days behind them just yet—Sunday night the group announced plans for a world tour kicking off in 2012.
The tour, announced on Springsteen's website, will be the first without the group's longtime saxophonist Clarence Clemons, who died from stroke complications in June. Four dates for the European leg of the tour, which runs from May through July, have been posted along with foggy details about the group's upcoming album.
"We want you to know that the music is almost done (but still untitled), we have almost settled on the release date (but not quite yet)."
U.S. & World
The details are posted next to two large photos of "Big Man" Clemons, who Springsteen eulogized at a summer memorial service. There are still no details on whether Springsteen will find a replacement for his longtime partner when they hit the road next year.

It is RODEO time in Houston. Every year this time the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo is in town for a few weeks. It usually is here during spring break so it becomes one of our day trips as a family. If you have never been to something like this it can be an all day event. Not only do they have a carnival with tons of rides, games and food vendors but there is also over 480 retail vendors with everything like cowboy boots, candy, jewelry, scented candles, furniture, clothing, kitchen gadgets, etc. They also have a kids zone with fun exhibits, rides and interactive activities. Want to see an egg hatch live? They have it! Want to see them milk a cow? They have it! Want to walk around thousands of pens full of stinky pigs, cows, horses, chickens, etc? They have it! They also have livestock auctions and competitions.
The big event is the rodeo and concert held inside Reliant Stadium. They always have a concert after the rodeo that features a headline singer or group. Although I am not a huge country music fan I am impressed with the A list of stars that have sold out shows each year like Blake Shelton, Miranda Lambert, and Reba McEntire. The rodeo itself includes bucking horses and bull riding, chuck wagon races, barrel races, the calf scramble, calf roping, etc. One of my favorites by far is the "Mutton Bustin". The announcer actually puts it the best when he says "this is the part of the show where we strap our kids to farm animals and call it entertainment". If you have never seen it you have to watch the video below. Basically it is a child around 5-6 years old wearing a heavily padded vest and helmet put on the back of a sheep, told to grab on to its wool, and then hang on for dear life when the gate opens. As the sheep runs across the pen the object is to see who can stay on the longest. Over the years I have seen a few kids with tears but the majority have huge grins on their faces and are pumping their fists in the air with excitement after they take that dive to the ground.
What is your favorite thing about a rodeo?

I feel really stupid making this suggestion after your are already live, but here goes:
When lining up a Tempest attack, the bonus hits are counted CLOCKWISE from the original target. But the animation actually shows a COUNTERCLOCKWISE swing. I understand that the UI lights up the real estate of the units that will be hit by the attack, but it feel clunky and counter-intuitive to line up an attack in one direction, and the see it applied in the exact opposite direction.
Did you consider making the directions match and decide not to? If the current result was a was a specific choice, would you mind explaining what factors went into your decision?
John, I hate to disturb the designers, but I cannot seem to get connected for a match. Ever. I have tried re-installing both the game and steam and the file sizes look right. I have no problems accessing the forum and using the features here, and other Steam games work fine. VERY frustrated that I cannot play this beta.
My pack arrive, i hope the game will be awesome just like the pack content; many thanks to you, Arnie and Alex

18-01-2011 Operational Update No 01/11
Landmines, unexploded ordnance and other lethal debris of war are still a serious threat in Iraq. They add to the many hardships that Iraqi civilians must deal with as a consequence of decades of armed conflict. The ICRC recently stepped up its efforts to help the civilian population get back on their feet by launching an initiative to reduce the impact of weapon contamination.
Iraq is littered with explosive remnants of war. The Landmine Impact Survey (an international survey carried out between 2004 and 2006), estimated that 1,730 square kilometres of Iraqi territory spread across 13 governorates – equivalent to around one and a half times the area of the city of Baghdad – is heavily contaminated. As a result, the safety and livelihood of more than 1.6 million Iraqis are at risk. Most of the contamination, a legacy of internal unrest and international conflict, is located along Iraq's borders with Iran and Turkey.
Contaminated areas include not only fertile farmland but also rural mountainous or desert areas where destitute and displaced families have gone to live for lack of a better option.
"These weapons can cause so much suffering," said Hajj Jassim, who lives with his wife, three children and eight grandchildren in Missan governorate. "Families just want to know that their children and livestock will come back from the fields in one piece."
According to the Ministry of the Environment and the Directorate of Mine Action, there are around 25 million landmines and explosive remnants of war in Iraq. Although no statistics are available on the number and types of casualties, it is estimated that hundreds of civilians are maimed by the debris of warfare every year.
"Landmines are just one aspect of the problem. Unexploded artillery shells, mortar shells and other leftovers from past wars also constitute a major hazard," said Srdjan Jovanovic, an ICRC expert on weapon contamination. "We work closely with local and national authorities to make sure that the needs and concerns of victims and other people living in contaminated areas are taken into account."
"Clearing the fields will make a big difference for the civilian population," said Mr. Jovanovic. "It will take considerable funding, political commitment and international support for Iraq to clear its lands. The Iraqi government has taken some steps, but the task is huge."
The ICRC started clearing contaminated lands in June 2010 in Missan governorate, in the southern part of the country, one of the worst affected areas. It is still the only international humanitarian organization involved in community-level clearance activities in the governorate. Over the last six months, the ICRC has removed over 1,600 unexploded shells and bombs from dangerous areas in the districts of Qalat Saleh and Al Mejar Al Kabi inhabited by more than 10,000 people.
Limb-fitting and physical rehabilitation services are provided by the ICRC to help disabled people reintegrate into the community. In 2010, 1,505 new patients were fitted with prostheses and 7,677 new patients with orthoses at 10 ICRC-supported centres throughout Iraq, in Basra, Najaf, Hilla, Tikrit, Falluja, Erbil and Baghdad.
The entry into force of the Ottawa mine-ban treaty resulted not only in the prohibition of the use, stockpiling, production and transfer of anti-personnel mines but also in an undertaking to destroy mines, whether in existing stockpiles or in mined areas. Although Iraq acceded to the treaty on 15 August 2007, the turmoil, unrest and sporadic violence in the country have so far prevented it from devising a comprehensive national strategy to rid itself of mines.
During November and December 2010, in response to the unstable and often challenging security environment, the ICRC further adjusted its activities so as to be able to carry on providing assistance to those most in need.
Bringing aid to people facing hardship
The ICRC maintained its support for people struggling to earn a living and support their families, such as women heading households, people with disabilities and displaced people. During the months of November and December, the ICRC:
- provided emergency aid for more than 6,000 displaced people in the governorates of Sulaimaniya, Erbil, Ninawa, Dohuk and Kirkuk;
- awarded 121 grants to disabled people in Erbil, Sulaimaniya, Kirkuk and Ninawa governorates to enable them to start small businesses and regain economic self-sufficiency. Around 5,000 disabled people have received such aid since 2008;
- completed a land-reclamation project in Dohuk governorate from which over 2,000 people are expected to benefit;
- distributed 1,200 tonnes of fertilizer to 3,100 farmers in Babil, Baghdad, Anbar, Salahaddin and Diyala governorates to help them restart farming activities.
Assisting hospitals and physical rehabilitation centres
Because health-care services in some rural and conflict-prone areas are still struggling to meet the needs of the civilian population, the ICRC continues to help renovate the premises of health-care facilities and train staff. In addition, to help disabled people reintegrate into the community, it continues to provide limb-fitting and physical rehabilitation services. In November and December:
- 20 doctors and 50 nurses took part in a course given in Najaf and Sulaimaniya for medical personnel from Baghdad, Nasiriya, Amara, Diwaniya, Kirkuk, Diyala, Anbar, Salahaddin and Najaf intended to strengthen emergency services;
- 11 doctors from all over Iraq attended an emergency services and trauma management course that took place in Sulaimaniya;
- 32 doctors from different parts of Iraq attended a seminar featuring ICRC experts held in Sulaimaniya for surgeons specializing in the treatment of war-wounded people;
- 197 new patients were fitted with prostheses and 1,148 with orthoses at 10 ICRC-supported centres throughout Iraq.
Since mid-2010, the ICRC has provided on-site support for 10 primary health-care centres in Diyala, Ninewa, Kirkuk, Babil and Diwaniya. By agreement with the local authorities, it visits the centres on a regular basis to maintain and where necessary upgrade water supply networks, to advise on and monitor emergency stabilization and referral services, vaccinations and preventive consultations for pregnant women, and to ensure adequate regular stock availability of medicines and vaccines.
Providing clean water and sanitation
Access to clean water remains difficult in much of Iraq. ICRC engineers continue to repair and upgrade water, electrical and sanitary facilities, especially in places where violence remains a concern and in rural areas, to improve the quality of services provided in communities and health-care facilities. In November and December, these activities included:
Emergency assistance:
The ICRC delivered water by truck:
- in Al-Sadr City (Sector 52, 53, Al Husseina and Ma'amil areas) in Baghdad governorate to over 4,800 internally displaced people.
Support for health-care facilities:
The ICRC completed the following works:
- improvement of the quality of drinking water in the 50-bed al Tarmiya General Hospital in Baghdad governorate;
- construction of a new emergency unit in the 100-bed Um Qasr Hospital in Basra governorate;
- renovation and extension of Qazania primary health-care centre, treating 140 patients a day in Diyala governorate;
- renovation and extension of Mandaly primary health-care centre, treating 180 patients a day in Diyala governorate;
- construction of a new operating theatre in the 150-bed Talafar Hospital in Ninawa governorate.
Water supply in hospitals:
The ICRC completed the installation of drinking-water purification units in four hospitals in Diyala governorate (Baquba general Hospital, al Muqdadiya General Hospital, al Zahraa Maternity Hospital and Baladrooz General Hospital) with an overall capacity of 600 beds.
Drinking-water supply:
The ICRC completed seven main projects benefiting over 240,000 people throughout the country:
- renovation of the Old Baquba water treatment plant in Diyala governorate, serving about 128,000 people;
- installation of chemical treatment units in five compact units in Diyala governorate, supplying water to around 20,000 people. The units ensure that the water supplied to the people and health-care facilities in the area is safe, so that the risk of disease is minimized;
- repair of the Abu Rummana compact unit, in Missan governorate, serving around 13,000 people;
- renovation of the Badra and Jassan water treatment plants in Wassit governorate, providing water for around 22,000 people;
- repair of the water system in Sinjar, in Ninewa governorate, serving 50,000 people;
- installation of a new water treatment plant in Ekbeba, Ninewa governorate, for 12,000 people;
- upgrade of the water system in Rabeea, in Ninewa governorate, serving some 3,000 people.
Visiting detainees
In November and December, ICRC delegates visited detainees held by the Iraqi Correctional Service under the authority of the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of the Interior, the Ministry of Defence, the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs, various branches of the Kurdish Regional Government and the United States government in 19 places of detention in nine governorates. The delegates monitored the conditions in which detainees were being held and the treatment they received.
The ICRC shared its observations and recommendations with the detaining authorities with a view to bringing about improvements where needed.
In some of places of detention, the ICRC gave detainees mattresses, blankets and recreational items such as books and games.
The ICRC makes a special effort to restore and maintain ties between people held in detention facilities and their loved ones. In November and December, over 260 Red Cross messages were exchanged between detainees and their families in Iraq and abroad. The ICRC also responded to around 715 enquiries from families seeking information on detained relatives. In addition, it issued 281 certificates of detention to former detainees. The voluntary repatriation of a released detainee took place under the auspices of the ICRC. The organization also issued travel documents to three refugees to enable them to resettle abroad.
Clarifying what happened to missing people
In a new effort to account for people missing in connection with the 1990-1991 Gulf War, the Tripartite Commission, composed of representatives of Iraq, Kuwait and the 1990-1991 Coalition (the United States, the United Kingdom, France and Saudi Arabia), held meetings in Kuwait on 5 and 7 December under the auspices of the ICRC. During the same month, a joint search and recovery mission took place in the area of Nassiriya, in southern Iraq, with the aim of locating the mortal remains of Kuwaiti nationals suspected to be buried there.
The ICRC continues to provide the Iraqi Ministry of Human Rights and Baghdad's Medical-Legal Institute with the technical support they require to exchange information and build up their capacity in the area of forensics.
Promoting compliance with international humanitarian law
Reminding parties to a conflict of their obligation to protect civilians is a fundamental part of the ICRC's work. The organization also endeavours to spread knowledge of international humanitarian law by organizing presentations for various audiences, including military personnel, prison staff, students and professors.
In November and December, information sessions on international humanitarian law were organized for members of the Iraqi Army, the Peshmerga forces and Assayesh security forces. In November, an Iraqi officer attended an ICRC-organized workshop on international rules governing military operations, which was held in Lucerne, Switzerland.

Lonestar Round Up
Long Live The Independent Rod Run
The '10 Lonestar Round Up actually begins with a barbecue on Thursday evening, and then it slows to a crawl-a garage crawl that is. Bright and early Friday morning, the garage crawl takes you on a tour of three very cool shops and ends up at the Dell Children's Medical Center of Central Texas for a brief car show for the kids in the hospital.
It's a great way to kick off a rod run, see a little bit of Austin, and, of course, we're never going to pass up the chance to snoop around in shops like the Austin Speed Shop, Mercury Charlie's, and Pipeworx. The sights and sounds of hot rods motoring around town in the morning is a great way to wake up and start a rod run.
After the breakfast meeting at 7 a.m. the crawl is underway at 8 a.m. sharp. This year the crawl was bigger than ever with around 100 hot rods of every description, taking the tour with leader Mark Gustafson doing a fine job of keeping things together and keeping us on schedule. The hospital show ended around noon and anytime you can put a smile on a kid's face you are having a good day. From there we headed out to the Austin Fairgrounds to join in the first day of the Round Up.
The Kontinentals Car Club does a great job of producing the event and while the growth brings with it challenges, the event still has a very strong independent, down-home feeling with great live music all day long, cool cars, and fun people on hand for the weekend. Add in some almost-fast mini-bike racing in one of the stock barns and you get a feeling for just how much fun this event has to offer. And then there is the whole nightlife thing down on South Congress in downtown Austin.
The cars in attendance are almost entirely vintage-style hot rods, with a mix of primer and rust being the most dominant finishes. Barn finds and cars built in the "as found" finish make for some very interesting hot rods. The cool thing is seeing a row of cars with rust, patina, and gorgeous Candy Apple paint all parked side by side having fun. The mix of cars is impressive too, with a great sampling of cars from the '20s through the '60s on hand. One of the things we really enjoy about the event is the diversity of power for these hot rods; we saw everything from hopped-up Model A four-bangers to a Jag V-12 stuffed between hot rod framerails. And the other refreshing thing about the Round Up was the diversity in age groups, with old gray hairs hanging out with the younger set all centered on building wicked hot rods.
The event is a laid-back affair. The gates open at 10 a.m. on Saturday, but that is probably because of the aforementioned cruising and hanging out on South Congress Street until the wee hours of the morning. Saturday was yet another picture-perfect day with cars and spectators filling the fairgrounds. This event is a reminder that the independent, local club-produced events still have something to offer that professionally produced events can't seem to duplicate. This year even the fairgrounds was getting crowded, so we can only imagine how many cars will show up next year, as you know things tend to be big in Texas. If you're looking for a weekend of fun with hot rodders holding an event that has that old-time, local club, real rod run feel, plan on attending the 10th Annual Lonestar Round Up next year, April 15-17 in Austin, Texas, and yes it will all begin with a crawl on Friday morning.
Everything is Bigger and Better in Texas
(or so they would have you believe)
Now its ninth year in, the Lonestar Round Up has become a homecoming of sorts, not only for Texans but also traditional hot rod and custom fans nationwide. Cars and spectators who once filled the cozy House Park Stadium, the oldest football stadium in Austin, now pack the giant Travis County Exposition grounds. The show has grown from a meager 85 cars in 2002 to nearly 1,200 in 2010. None of this would have ever happened though without a club, a music club that can trace its roots way back to when what we call "traditional" was vogue.
The Continental Club opened its doors on South Congress Avenue in Austin as a social club in 1957. Over the past 50 years it has hosted a mile-long list of who's who in the music scene; from swing to rock to blues to jazz to country twang, it has seen it all. It wasn't until the late '80s when current owner Steve Wertheimer took over that the music of the Continental Club began to infuse with hot rods and customs in what many would call a natural fit. "Everyone (all of my car buddies) hung around the club all the time and that was sort of the centerpiece, a gathering place," Wertheimer says.
After several road trips to California in their traditional hot rods and customs, namely the Paso Robles Show, the 15 or so car guys decided to make themselves an "official" club in the mid-'90s. "After seeing all the clubs (with their jackets and plaques) out there at shows we decided we wanted to run some plaques in Austin since it was such a rarity here." Paying homage to their favorite hangout, the Continental Club, the guys "played off the name and went with The Kontinentals."
Wertheimer calls The Kontinentals a "super loose" organization who all share similar vision regarding the style of hot rods and customs they like to build and drive. The club of 25 members, mostly Texas based, are a club with "no rules, no meetings, no officers, just a bunch of dudes who are all good friends, hang out, and plan excuses to get their cars out." And that they do. They still continue their annual pilgrimages to California in "traditional stuff and very tasteful customs." He continues, "All the cars (in the club) are built to drive everywhere ... we go on many long-distance excursions and put many miles on all of the cars."
It was also the trips to Paso Robles that inspired the Kontinentals to hold the Lonestar Round Up. After one of their annual trips to Paso they decided to test the waters of holding their own traditional hot rod and custom show. "We came back one year (about 10 years ago) when the HAMB was in its infantile stages and made a post asking 'If we threw a car show in Austin, would anyone come?'" Wertheimer says. "The response was very positive from the few folks who were on HAMB way back when so we decided to give it a shot."
One thing that hasn't changed though has been the quality of the cars. At the first show back in 2002 they hosted a killer line up of cars, even with less than a hundred present. "Cars at the show that first year included Lee Pratt's gold '40 Ford, Billy Gibbon's 'Eliminator', Von Franco's '32 coupe, and the Kennedy coupe owned by Jim Jard," Wertheimer says. He believes that trend has continued, especially in 2010. "Something happened this year. There was a big change, not so much the number of cars that came in for the show, it was the quality of what showed up that was really elevated this year." He continues, "There were some super-fine, quality hot rods and customs here in town, not a lot of cobbled-together stuff that you scratch your head and say 'why?' Just some super-fine stuff that I would love to have in my garage."
What will the 10th anniversary of the Round Up hold? According to Wertheimer, "We are just starting to talk about it at the secret headquarters ... be assured there will be something pretty special about next year both artwork- and artist-wise, music-wise, as well as some special events to commemorate the 10th anniversary, so stay tuned!"

In addition to the Lonestar Round Up, the Kontinentals also host Day of the Drags, a drag racing event held every October at Little River Dragway near Temple, Texas (www.dayofthedrags.com).

Molecular Basis of Memory Consolidation
Over the long-term, recent memories encoded by the hippocampus are thought to be transitioned into neocortex. This process is often known as consolidation, and can be observed in at least a couple of ways. First, amnesics who have sustained damage to the hippocampus will not only show impairments in forming future memories, but will also show temporally-graded retrograde amnesia - in other words, they are unable to access relatively recent memories as well. Second, sleeping (and even awake) rat hippocampi can be observed "replaying" recent activity patterns, as though interleaving these experiences for a relatively slow-learning neocortex to absorb. In humans, memories are strengthened after a good night's sleep as compared to an equivalent amount of time awake.
What mechanisms support this consolidation process? I've written previously about work from Harvard showing that destruction of the Armitage protein is important for protein synthesis at the synapse. Previous work has also shown that NMDA antagonists can block memory encoding, but not memory maintenance or consolidation. However, new research from SUNY has shown that inhibition of a different molecule - the protein kinease M-Zeta - can selectively disrupt the storage of memories up to 1 day old, but not the encoding of new memories. This disruption of storage is thought to occur by downregulating AMPA receptors in the CA1 region of hippocampus, which function prominently in late LTP.
Does this molecule work by disrupting consolidation processes within a specific time-window, or does it truly erase these memories?
Note: this post has been heavily edited/revised in response to reader comments.

Download Ismail Kadare Study Guide
Ismail Kadare Long Fiction Analysis
(Survey of Novels and Novellas)
Most of Ismail Kadare's novels are set in Albania, and the same landmarks appear in many of his books: the three-arched bridge, containing its human sacrifice, and the Inn of the Two Roberts, where travelers both innocent and suspect stop for the night. He frequently refers to the famous and still-debated Battle of Kosovo of 1389 (Elegy for Kosovo) and to the official method of Byzantine torture: blinding.
However, Kadare is concerned mainly with human rights, with the lot of the common people throughout history. In fact, he has a standard for assessing the actions of governments—including such things as architectural megaprojects: How will a given action, a government project, affect everyday people? How much will the people, including workers, suffer? These questions frame his novel The Pyramid, in which he deals at length with the inhumane treatment of the workers and the general populace during the construction of the largest pyramid in Egypt four thousand years ago; Kadare's analysis is so profound that the edifice itself, the pyramid, pales in comparison. In the final paragraphs of the novel, the pyramid becomes transparent, except for the blemish of a bloodstain that can never be washed clean. For Kadare, brutality devalues products of labor.
Kadare realizes that human nature will never change, and that the behavior portrayed in the Greek myths and in William Shakespeare's dramas continues unabated. There will always be people with a lust for power, and the retention of power will always involve intrigues and misinformation. However, power does not protect those who have it from illness, self-doubts, or senility. Kadare sees everyone's weaknesses, and he writes with compassion for the human condition. He also sees everyone's strengths, and his works contain memorable examples of what the human spirit can achieve against all odds. His beautiful legendary story Doruntine portrays the power of love to last beyond the grave.
Kadare considers himself a modern Homer, a storyteller par excellence, and he pays homage in his works to the great tradition of Albanian oral epics. His novel The File on H. is an amusing account of the attempts of two Irish American researchers to better understand Homer's working method by studying the few remaining itinerant Albanian rhapsodists who convert contemporary events into epic poetry. The researchers do so at a cost. One of them finds that as he imitates the singing tone of the rhapsodists, he also progressively loses his vision, just like the blind, semilegendary Greek poet.
The Palace of Dreams
The Palace of Dreams was banned in Albania because it was seen as a thinly veiled portrayal of Hoxha's communist reign of terror. This is a simplistically reductive interpretation of the novel. Although set in an Albanian context, the novel addresses universal aspects of the human condition.
The novel begins slowly and gathers speed. The salient features of the main character, Mark-Alem, are his passivity and uncertainty. He lets his influential family decide where he should work, and they even choose his fiancé. Both at work and at home, he assumes that everything is in someone else's competent hands. When people hint to him that things are not as they should be, he dismisses them as saboteurs. As the novel progresses, Mark-Alem simply watches as his favorite uncle, Kurt, is led away by police, then hears that Kurt has been beheaded. Although Mark-Alem rises rapidly through the ranks and is appointed head of the Palace of Dreams, he does nothing to stop the senseless interrogation of a greengrocer, although he pities the man, and the grocer is eventually carried out in a coffin. While this complacency might seem on the surface to be serious sins of omission, Kadare does not portray them that way. In a novel replete with descriptions of coldness, snow, and ice, Mark-Alem seems permanently frozen with fear. He understands so little about the affairs of his family or the state that he is...

At last! The 2-CD premiere of Bruce Broughton's complete, wildly popular 1985 soundtrack for Steven Spielberg's presentation of Young Sherlock Holmes, directed by Barry Levinson, written by Chris Columbus, starring Nicholas Rowe. Though Broughton has such monumental scores as the Oscar-nominated Silverado and thundering Tombstone to his credit, it is this rousing, tuneful and dynamic music for young Holmes and his first big adventure that brings Broughton the most attention amongst fans. Understandable! Levinson's film remains a timeless classic of young adventure and spirited energy, melded with danger and a touch of tragedy. Broughton underscores two thirds of the picture with his finest melodies and most vivid derring-do. Ideas seem boundless: the main adventure theme, Holmes music that plays throughout as he works on solving the riddles, a gentle love theme, music for Waxflatter and his flying invention, the villain's motif, a dueling theme for the sword fights... and a massive tour-de-force for orchestra and chorus that underlines various sacrifices within the pyramid. All of these ideas weave in and about, sometimes one playing on top of another, some times each playing in subtle disguise, other times all playing in powerful fashion. The harmonic vernacular is dazzling, moving effortlessly from the 19th century England period setting into intense and ferocious, complicated 20th century idioms. Quite simply, Broughton's music for Young Sherlock Holmes serves as a masterpiece in film scoring. Broughton originally selected about 36-minutes of music for the original 1985 album. To present the entire 90-minute work plus several alternates and "extras", Intrada was fortunate to have access to the actual 2" 24-track scoring session masters, housed at Paramount in pristine condition. (Fans familiar with the earlier LP may enjoy knowing that those tracks appear now in their full length, unedited versions as recorded and not in their truncated LP counterparts.) The stereo sonics are stunning, even by today's standards. Through the combined courtesies of Paramount Pictures, Geffen Records and UMG, this magnificent complete soundtrack finally becomes a long-awaited reality! Bruce Broughton conducts the Sinfonia of London. 2-CD set, now available in the Intrada MAF series. - INTRADA

Daytona Beach is poised to become the first Volusia County municipality to crack down on synthetic marijuana and stimulants masquerading as potpourri, bath salts, incense and even treats for kids.
At their meeting Wednesday night, city commissioners will take a final vote on a measure that would make it illegal for anyone in Daytona Beach to sell, distribute or display the synthetic drugs that are usually labeled as bath salts or herbal incense.
With state and federal laws not yet making some of the substances in the products illegal, the measure would make it a code violation to have the synthetic drug cocktails in Daytona Beach businesses and to try to sell them in the city.
Supporters of the crackdown hope the future brings new measures that will make it a crime punishable by more than a maximum $500 fine to peddle the products that can mimic the highs of pot, methamphetamine and cocaine.
"It's a good first step," said Mayor Glenn Ritchey. "I'd like to see more teeth in it."
Ritchey said the city and entire state need to stay a step ahead of synthetic drugs, with synthetic heroin already in other countries and probably headed to the United States.
"I think it's only the beginning with bath salts and we need to be very cognizant in the future how we'll address this," Ritchey said. "This is really only the tip of the iceberg. (Drug dealers) will look for loopholes, so we need to look for ways to close all the loopholes."
Holly Hill and Daytona Beach Shores are slated to take final votes next week on similar measures banning synthetic drugs not approved by the Food and Drug Administration. Ormond Beach will take an initial vote Wednesday on a synthetic drug measure, and other local cities including Port Orange, New Smyrna Beach and Edgewater are moving toward votes, too, said Mary Swiderski, executive director of the Volusia Council of Governments.
DeLand also is looking into the issue, Swiderski said. In Flagler County, Palm Coast and Bunnell have already outlawed synthetic drugs.
VCOG has been pushing area cities to ban the synthetic drugs until VCOG and other organizations can lobby the Legislature next year to pass an aggressive, comprehensive law that would wage war on unregulated synthetic drugs in Florida. The state has already declared 42 substances illegal, but drug dealers can tweak their compounds and add substances that haven't been declared illegal yet, Swiderski said.
Users of the drugs are ingesting things such as nail polish remover, said Swiderski, who's particularly passionate about the issue because both of her adult children have battled addictions.
"We could end up with a lost generation," she said.
Daytona Beach's measure contains language that attempts to be more sweeping to get ahead of illicit drug manufacturers, said City Attorney Marie Hartman.
Daytona Beach's ordinance focuses on bath salts and herbal incense. If commissioners adopt the ordinance, the city won't be going after drugs and substances approved by the FDA and available with a valid prescription.
Daytona Beach's code enforcement officers also won't be hunting for bath salts that don't contain synthetic chemical stimulants, according to city records.
City officials will be looking for ingredients and packaging that indicates or suggests that the substances mimic the effects of marijuana or stimulants such as cocaine and amphetamines.
The bath salts can be sold as crystals, powder, liquid, tablets or capsules. Herbal incense can be sold in leaves, powder or granular form.
A person or business cited for a code violation involving one of the substances could face a civil penalty of $250 on an initial violation. If they contest the citation, they could wind up with penalties of up to $500 for each violation.
City Commissioner Edith Shelley, who urged fellow commissioners to consider a synthetic drug ordinance, said she's particularly appalled by the products being sold in colorful packets with pictures of cartoon characters such as Scooby-Doo.
The products are often sold in convenience stores and tobacco shops, Shelley and other local officials said, giving kids and young adults easy access. And many of the substances aren't caught in drug tests, Swiderski and others said.
Synthetic drugs have picked up in popularity over the past year, but Ritchey said "it's not exploding in our area. It's sort of stabilized."
Shelley said the danger of the drugs became even more apparent to her when she met a local man who told her his teenage son nearly died after ingesting what the father believes was synthetic cocaine.
"The man walked in and the son was unconscious," said Shelley, who noted the child was about 13 or 14. "When you meet someone who goes through something like that you realize we need to do everything we can to try to prevent this."

: an entertainment company for women, began in New York City with the question: "What are your sexual fantasies." Posted online and sent to friends, the question generated much discussion and led to a small community of women eager for a way to live them out. From this, an internationally recognized brand promoting female sexual pleasure was born.
In September of 2000, CAKE hosted the first of what would become the infamous CAKE parties at club FUN, under the Manhattan Bridge. Billed as a Porn Party, the hosts showed clips of explicit videos edited together and displayed on floor to ceiling screens. The guests enthusiasm was captured in an online survey conducted some days after.
Shortly after the first event, CAKE was featured on the cover of The New York Post for their Striptease.a.thon party, held at the Spa. It is rumored that The New Yorker was to publish an around town column on the club before the Post's cover story appeared. Controversy was sparked and the parties continued at the rate of about one every month, each time at a different venue.
The parties were accompanied by a weekly CAKE.Byte, a newsletter installment of editorial about emerging female sexual culture. These colorful emails captured the attention of over 30,000 international subscribers in a few short years. Online versions of the newsletters invited women to respond to the topics in an open forum.
Through their years of operation CAKE offered membership to women. The application question was "Why do you get the juice?" and encouraged women to write about why a community of nonjudgmental people interested in exploring sexuality would be useful to them. Over 2,000 women joined.
Along with memberships, CAKE sold kits including silk screened tee-shirts and hand made lip gloss all featuring the CAKE Girl logo. Hand-picked sex accessories proven valuable to women were available for purchase online at the CAKE Boutique. These packages were sent in white CAKE boxes with red and white ties to thousands of men and women.
The group's decidedly political bent keep a constant stream of freedom of choice commentary alive throughout the Bush administration. On the Spring of 2004, the CAKE.Girls attended the March for Women's Lives in Washington DC. An election party featuring the Bush / Kerry debates emphasized the agenda of women's health along side the entertainment.
Women from New York , and many others from all over the world, continued to document their sexual fantasies and adventure in a collective column entitled: Surrender the Pink. Later, the CAKE Report expanded the line of questioning beyond fantasy and included detailed investigation of sexual habits and personal evolutions. In 2005, Simon and Schuster published CAKE's sexuality guide book for women based on the information amassed.
Annual traditions were established: Summer lingerie parties, anti-Valentine's day events, and Devil's Night Masquerades were all part of the regular fair. CAKE Parties achieved cult status with the help of lengthy Vanity Fair article calling attention to the mash-up of feminist, hedonist and gender-bending ideas the events brought to life. Rolling Stone, The New York Times, and a gluttony of national and international magazines and newspapers followed suit.
20/20 paid attention and posed their own questions about the agenda behind these women and shot a rare TV interview with the three founders. CAKE also granted permission for Wild on E! for a one night shoot. The crew forged their own way into production with a reality/doc funded by Showtime entitled: The Pleasure Club.
CAKE expanded operations to London. UK women responded to the dress up appeal of the events and launched a series of themed parties rich with costumes and props. The Guardian picked up on the story and reaffirmed the cross-cultural appeal of a women's club that challenged mainstream media's assumptions about sexual lifestyles. In 2006 the CAKE book was on the market in the UK
CAKE parties also popped up in San Francisco. In the Fall of 2008, Random House translated the book for a German audience. The last documented CAKE party was in the Fall of 2007.
Founder Melinda Gallagher is currently in training practicing psychotherapy focused on women's issues while acquiring a graduate degree in psychology. Co- founder Matthew Kramer currently produces digital software for music. Co-founder Emily Kramer writes cultural reviews and manages websites. In January 2008, Matthew Kramer and Melinda Gallagher welcomed their first child, a baby boy, Logan Alexander Sky Kramer.

Flu Clinic
Each year, the seasonal flu makes its way to campus resulting in missed days of work and classes. This virus spreads rapidly among students because of close living conditions, lowered resistance, stress, etc., and campus communities have the potential to face significant epidemics each winter.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states that the seasonal flu vaccine is the single most effective method for preventing the seasonal flu.

My 8-year-old son spent all week at football camp. He had some fun and got a t-shirt. But I also got to have my kind of fun too. I shot photos on two days of the camp and put together a little photo video for the kids to see today. The coach made copies for all the kids. Happiness all around.
1 – I'm going to kick this off with two tutorials from Audio Tuts+ they have a two-part tutorial on recording audio in the field. Part 1 and Part 2. Both together make a good before, during and after learning session.
2 – I love this metaphor from photofocus, a good exposure is like a slice of pizza. I also like it because of the three elements of a good exposure ISO, Shutter Speed and f/Stop. Three sides of a triangle or a pizza slice.
3 – Do you have these 11 Characteristics of Highly Creative People? Thanks to copyblogger for the post.
4 – NewsTrust brings us the 4-D's of Thinking Like A Journalist. I am definitely going to share this will all my journalism kids this year. They need to do more of each of the four D's.
5 – At my campus, we have been moving toward more and more online content, but we still need to think about how online is different from print or broadcast. Advancing the Story has Five Ways to Improve Your Newsrooms Online Output.
6 – I like this idea and may try to put it into practice some way this year – Everybody Has a Story To Tell.
7 – The LIFE photo archive keeps producing great results – this time it is the World's Bloodiest Battles with the famous photos from the Civil War to WWI to WWII.
8 – This post is borderline on whether I would use it in the classroom or not and it aired on the local news somewhere. This is what not to do during a standup.
9 – The White House is saving money and that's good, but they are cutting all newspaper and magazine subscriptions and that can't be good.
10 – Great moments in technology that CNN has tried out – many of them web based.
11 – The Harvard School of Business has basically said that niche papers are the only way for journalism to be profitable in the future. I think that is true. The only troubling issue to me is that there will be no one left with deep pockets to do investigative journalism. The Media Business Blog agrees basically and says that there is no model for 20th Century Journalism as a megabusiness. And there is another post from the Online Journalism Blog that blames the web for the changes in economics that have killed traditional journalism.
12 – Jon Stewart is the most trusted newsman in America. NBC's Brian Williams is a distant second.
13 – Journalism 101 is bucking the trend and defends J-Schools as valuable for the 16 Things You Learn in Journalism School.
14 – Blogger Justin McLachlan posts 10 Things You Need To Understand To Save Journalism.
15 – Lynda.com has posted 15 of their highly rated tutorial videos about Final Cut Pro for Free.
16 – We know that the MegaPixel wars are over. All cameras have plenty of MP these days. What are the five features you really need on your digital camera?
17 – It's not Big Brother of 1984 that we need to worry about says Michael Wesch, but the society of overabundance in a Brave New World that is the danger we face today. I liked this talk so much, I'm reading Brave New World right now. This comic, Amusing Ourselves To Death, sums up the main points – but the video is good too.
18 – The Way We Watch blog has a great post on how TV news should change to attract more audience in the future, he has several specific ideas on how to change newscasts.
19 – The New York Times reports that Cornell University has done a study showing that the news cycle today is 2.5 hours. Wow! That's fast.
20 – Kirk LaPointe's blog says the Internet is not killing newspapers, direct mail marketing is because it is taking the most expensive ads away from the newspaper due to targeted nature of mailing.
Have a great week, school will be starting soon. I have about two more weeks until teachers go back for inservice. I'm ready to go back, but not ready for inservice.

Hamsterdam: Clean up college football? Not a chance!
ESPN is running an online poll right now about college football: is it corrupt? If so, where does the corruption lie, how do fans feel about it, and can a program compete for a championship without cheating? Here are my answers.
Yes, everywhere. Most don't care, and not if every other program is.
Enough with the obvious! Ask yourself this: can college football be cleaned up, and if it could, would you want it to be?
If you watched the HBO series The Wire, you know about "Hamsterdam," a secret policy of permission to commit crimes. Unable to control drug-related violence, Major Colvin let dealers and users have their way as long as they confined their business to a few uninhabited city blocks. It wasn't going to rid the city of drugs or violence– just corral it.
Hamsterdam is an apt analogy for college football. If the corruption permeating every level of the sport seems insurmountable, that's because the powers-that-be either tacitly or actively decided that it's in their best interest that you think it is. It's impossible to say exactly when it happened, but it's obvious that at some point attempts to clean up college football were abandoned in favor of using and often encouraging corruption to woo players and win championships.
In 1989, sports columnist Rick Telander published a book, The Hundred Yard Lie, an "uncompromising" and "hard-hitting indictment" that "is to football what the Surgeon General's book was to smoking."
That was 22 years ago, but no one wanted to hear about it then, and nobody wants to hear about it now. ESPN reports the mood in Columbus, Ohio, is "funereal," and that crowds outside Jim Tressel's home are holding signs saying, "We Support You, Jim!" and "We Love You, Coach Tressel."
When it comes to cleaning up college football, it's the initiative that's lacking, not the means. Why can't state governments, which grant them non-profit status and shower them with tax dollars, assign monitors and auditors to universities?
Shouldn't the NCAA, which receives money from its member schools, place multiple compliance officers at those schools and publish their findings annually? It would be harder to stop boosters and agents from using runners to put cash or car keys in a player's hands, but it could be done. It all could be done.
But if a school can offer nothing more than itself when recruiting players, what happens to college football?
If a school says, "You're a student first and an athlete second, and by the way, we have an honor code– but you have to meet our admission requirements first," and tells coaches and everyone affiliated with the sport, "We will be on your butt every day of your tenure here to make sure you're as honorable as you say"– what happens to college football?
There's no initiative to clean up college football because if it were free of corruption, there would be no more college football, at least not as we know it today. And if there's anything Americans love more than Doritos Elmo and "Amazing Grace," it's college football.
If anything, the trappings of corruption make the sport more beloved, not less. The stardom, the pomp, the intense rivalries, the obscene payday– everything that makes college football a national obsession depends on the sport's remaining corrupt.
But unlike The Wire's Hamsterdam, there's nothing secret about college football's policy of permission. The NCAA, state governments, universities, students, fans, and boosters– they all have one open philosophy: if you're not cheating, you're not trying.
So I ask again, if college football could be cleaned up, would you want it to be?

The best thing to do in these circumstances is to wake somebody else up, so that they can feel this way, too.

OCZ has been on the forefront of both consumer and enterprise SSD market for some time now and there aren't any signs that they are slowing up anytime soon. With one of the most diverse lines of SSD products of any manufacturer and the wildly popular Vertex line in their back pocket, they are forging ahead with the Vertex 3 line for both consumer and enterprise storage solutions.
The Vertex PRO consumer SSD will feature the next generation SandForce SF-2582 controller with a SATA III/6Gbps interface. When it ships, it will be available with MLC or eMLC NAND in capacities of 64GB to 512GB.
The performance numbers are impressive with published specifications of 550MB/s and 525MB/s reads and writes respectively while also hitting 75k IOPS 4k random writes.
The enterprise version carries the Vertex 3 EX name which also features the SandForce SF-2582 controller and the SATA III/6Gbps interface. Available with SLC NAND, it's preliminarily documented to hit the same 550MB/s reads and 525MB/s writesas the PRO but ups the 4k random writes to 80k IOPS.
OCZ also has the Vertex 3 EX SSD that is available for enterprise and server applications. This drive uses the same SandForce SF-2582 controller and is available in capacities of 64GB to 512GB.
While they have their consumer oriented PCI-E drives covered with speedy
RevoDrive and RevoDrive X2, the enterprise market gets a new version of
the Z-Drive carrying the R3 designation. With performance specifications of 1,000MB/s reads and 970MB/s writes, plus 135,000 IOPS of 4k random writes, "fast" doesn't even begin to describe its performance.
Powering this beast are four SandForce 1565 controllers in a RAID 0 configuration which interfaces through a x8 PCI-E slot.
The ATTO results that were on display back up the numbers OCZ has detailed in their press release.
