BJP and the price of difference.
In a season when the fruit should have been ready for the picking, how come everyone, including party members think that the BJP is not perceived as a natural alternative to the Congress? This post proposes that it might have to do with a self-inflicted wound – and asks the party to stop trying to be different, and just be effective.
The last time the BJP executive met, the business of the day, or days, continued to be overshadowed by the absence of Narendra Modi. The reams of media speculation would have done any paper mill proud and as always, the ratiocinative deliberations were lost in the toss up between the fulminations, rumour mongering and gossipy guesswork.
Between the brackets of the last executive meeting and the meeting of the executive this year, much water has flowed and a series of semi-cataclysmic events have created a completely new landscape of possibilities, one where the ruling establishment is clinging for dear life and political calculations seem to add to naught for it so far. The blanket of scams, the global financial meltdown, the policy hubris and economic dead ending at home, the pinpricking allies and the moribund central leadership have all created conditions for almost an effortless easing out of the Congress led UPA from the centre, at least in common perception, if not in reality.
And yet, this time around, the greatest point of interest were none of the possibilities that might bear crystallization at the meeting of India's largest opposition bulk, but the exact opposite of what consumed the media the last time around – the advent, this time of Narendra Modi to the event. Now, it would be disingenuous to pretend that there were not theatrics associated with the event. The resignation of Sanjay Joshi in what seemed like quid pro quo became the resonant tone of what followed. Some snippets of what the BJP was really thinking about in terms of making a pitch for the centre came about, but almost in whispers – almost as if being passed out unwillingly by a media agog with the politics of persona. Muddying the waters were more side news of some leaders absenting themselves from the follow through programs, a blog by Shri Advani, an article in the BJP organ Kamal Sandesh and dollops of tid-bitty off the record bytes from the party's rank and file in the fall out of the Joshi resignation.
BJP supporters, particularly the louder ones across the internet have turned their ire inwards and the general tenor is shifting from the usual UPA and Congress bashing to deriding the BJP for its internal dissensions, overambitious leaders, undisciplined ranks, and foot in the mouth disease, not to mention the delightful ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Naturally, the Congress is beside itself with joy and has resurrected its motor mouth spokespersons from relative anonymity after a series of gaffes and electoral defeats.
But all of this makes one wonder whether there is any pretext to the theory that the BJP, quite opposed to the idea of a disciplined unit and a party with a difference, is really any more out of control and its leaders worse off for exhibiting their ambitions on their sleeve than other parties? Is this a result of a self inflicted high moral yardstick which the party continually fails to maintain owing perhaps to the lofty heights it has prescribed for itself? And, is the party being held ransom to the self image of some of its leaders who refuse to read the realities of the times and perhaps need to re-adjust their views accordingly? Or is it that too much democracy is indeed becoming an obstacle rather than a facility?
The question arises, because it is odd that a party where anyone can aspire to leadership at the highest level is pilloried the most on the issue of leadership whereas those that follow dynastical traditions are excused. Besides, what is that that makes a simple tiff between two members of the party seem like internecine wars to media and therefore to the public at large? Why does this magnification apply to the BJP and not to the equally fractious Congress or the communist parties or those led by regional satraps?
I am coming around to the view that there is merit in the idea that the BJP has crafted itself – at least in image terms – too delicately for the rough and tumble of the tough and rumble of realpolitik. And the evidence is mounting.
It is quite apparent that the position that the BJP comes of different stock has got manipulated into a slug line to mean 'a party with a difference', with the result that different people have taken it to mean different things and which has progressively been reduced to a derisive taunt now. A party with differences is, therefore, a common twist given to the line by detractors.
Of course, the elements of integrity, honesty, self abnegation and self-less work all hold true but these were essentially drawn from the RSS dictum and not really from the viewpoint of defining an 'ideal' political party. This may seem like a riposte to the current image crisis of the party, but the image crisis itself is the creation of this unresolved issue. Needless to say, its opposition has delighted in pursuing this line and repeating it ad nauseum to the discomfiture of the BJP as citadel after citadel fall victim to the exigencies of the same game that the Congress surrendered its values to. But, alas!, jibes are reserved for the BJP while everyone else gets a go by.
Hum uff bhi karte hain, to ho jaate hain badnaam,
woh quatl bhi karte hain to charcha nahi hota – Author unverified.
[They kill with abandon and no mention is made,
were we to even sigh, we would risk a bad name ]
Cardinally, it is always the label that you attach to yourself that becomes the principle benchmark of your behaviour. By calling yourself honest, you open yourself to not only the highest test of such virtue, but by association, either besmirch others close to you in the event of a single transgression, or in reverse, suffer the same fate if any associate skips the line. By naming himself pious, the priest sets himself up for a different standard of evaluation. Similarly, it can be argued that the BJP has taken on a mantle that was neither designed for politics, leave alone the rigours of realpolitik, but that in doing so it has also fiddled with the essential nature of political behaviour, to its own detriment.
The laws of politics are by nature an unflattering commentary on man and his affairs. Politics makes for strange bedfellows. There are no permanent enemies in politics. Or friends, if you believe, what they say. With ground rules like that, what price consistency, what price integrity? Still, rather than be judgmental, it would be better to work within the realities of the space it has chosen to occupy. The market for elections does not favour old wine. It demands a new indiscipline, however alien it may be to the ideal that we hold in our esteem.
Clearly the BJP has painted itself into a corner by not attending to this issue. Chances are, it has never thought of this as an issue, leave alone finding it worthy of attention. But the downside is apparent and it finds echo frequently – lately the patriarch of the BJP resorted to a blog to send a message that resonates with this predicament. In effect, he is portending to the same crisis. The Congress is no longer that party of choice, and that is the writing on the wall. But then, why does everyone think neither is the BJP, when in clear, cold calculations the opposite is true. On the states it wins, on its record of governance, on the range of leaders, on the quality of leadership, or just plain size of its member base, its structural strength and organizational might the BJP is streets ahead of the Congress. But there seem to be very few buyers for the fact.
Ummeed se kam chashme kharidaar mein aye,
hum log zara der se bazaar mein aye – Shaharyar
[Not many buyers noticed what we came to sell
I wager a little late to the market we came]
So what explains this dissonance? Clearly, one of the main impediments is the perception of the self inflicted 'difference'. The disproportionate media mileage to quibbles in BJP and allusions to palace intrigues are only symptomatic of the deeper issue. The bitter truth is that politics inIndiahas never been exemplary after the first cadre of independent politicians faded from the scene. There has been stunning depreciation in the stock of politicians since then and they are in most cases themselves to blame. But there has also been a baying for blood, a mob mentality to the cries for instant justice against errant politicans, fuelled in most part due to the explosion of the media apparatus in the last decade.
The media too, has frequently compromised its judgment and it is now slave to the loudest noise, the craziest outburst and its new darlings are the sensationalist, the publicist or the arsonist. It also serves its purpose well in a country with no heroes to expose villains, some real, many imagined. Civil society is then merely a screening committee before the next fall guy is identified while power brokers within parties fix enemies in this melee. The audience remains flabbergasted.
I am inundated with responses from supporters and non supporters of the BJP asking me to atone for the sins of party members who succumb to some temptation, perceived or real, media created or media inflicted and it is curious how ever-willing they are – at least the supporters – to believe the worst about their own party just at the whiff of a transgression. It makes me think that we live in an age where everyone is suspect until proven innocent.
Usee ka shahar, wohi muddayee, wohi munsif
hamen yakeen tha hamara qasoor nikelaga – Qazalbash
[Yours is the city, you are the judge, complainant too
Any wonder my friend that you found me guilty]
It serves the purpose of charlatans to believe everyone to be one. It is a community of people with no self respect which would want none for the other. Blame it on anything, or the times we live in, but the pattern is a sad representation of how despicable our self image has begun to look. In the end it just works like a self fulfilling prophecy where everyone contributes to the destruction of everyone else.
Be that as it may, to imagine that anybody could underwrite the good character of over one crore party members is downright impossible. The obvious conclusion therefore is that the BJP's claim of 'difference' was way out of proportion and not even God can guarantee pristine behaviour from so many of his creation. The claim must therefore be subsumed through a series of carefully crafted overlapping messages and be transformed into a more reliable, believable, practical credo. To allow a passive disintegration of this image carries the risk of negative circumstantial validation, and which is detrimental because it erodes the image even as it recedes. It is better to take control of the situation and calibrate the mutation from an unrealistic aspiration to a more believable proposition that focuses on outcomes rather than on idealistic nuance.
It is a fact that the BJP is not a family affair and far more liberal and democratic in its organizational function. That is a positive. But in the context of the persisting image of it as a warring entity, it is presenting the Congress, with all its attendant weaknesses as preferable to itself. At some point, a voter may ask if indeed there is any reason to shift loyalties? It becomes its job, therefore, to counter public perception about the BJP's minor hiccups as major impediments. It must not be allowed to fester that the petty crimes of its black sheep are more deplorable than the grand larceny of the grand old party.
But how is this to be addressed?
One is to emphasize the importance of winning. After all, the BJP is neither a social service organisation, nor a goodwill mission. It is here to win elections, so that it can wield power, so that it can put into place its plans and ideas to lead the nation as it think it should be led. This will require a recalibration of its prowess. Instead of being evaluated on the loss in UP, be evaluated for wresting power from Congress in nine states. Amplify your growing footprint, and more importantly work with renewed vigour where the footprint is small.
The second is to encourage and celebrate good governance. Some of this is done at times of elections or rather infrequently but a whole new programme is needed to realign people's perception of the record of BJP run states to illustrate a consistency of political thought and administrative thrust. Amplify state success, cap central command news. Shift focus. Let news emanate out of the states and one has only to look atGujaratto see how its done. That way, we not only have a lot more magnification for success stories around BJP, it also depresses space for negative news.
The third is to synchronize leadership thought and actions through a smaller command structure. Consensus is fine, consensus is good, but consensus is not the end – progress is the end. If progress is compromised by the process of deriving consensus, it is of no worth. A smaller group will reduce time lag, number of egos to manage, quarantine the laggards, provide a cohesive front and present a unified faction. That will reduce elbowroom for detractors, inflated ambitions and nay sayers. Of course, this is easier said than done in a time where the principal actors do not seem to see eye to eye on some crucial organizational issues, but then, that is the choice and the challenge the party has to face.
Above all, remember that you are a political party not Maggi ketchup. Quit trying to be different. ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

I am afraid when you say that the BJP is not on a goodwill mission, or a social service organization, it is just here to win so that it can put it's plans into action. A little later you advocate a small group at the head, who can call the shots, without taking everyone along. This type of organization is dangerous, very similar to the fascist organizations who are ruthless and achieve a lot in the short term, but the headiness of success takes them out of control. A political party is supposed to be working for the common good, hearing all voices, even if the path takes longer to tread.
The BJP has repeatedly squandered opportunities to be the Right of Center political alternative to the pseudo-secular & pseudo-socialistic political formations that have ruled India under the Congress & the smaller regional parties.
The Congress today has been reduced to a personal fiefdom of the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty and the UPA regime has turned out to be Independent India's most corrupt, inept, callous & insensitive government. Unless the BJP fills the vacuum and provides a credible alternative, we may well see the situation leading to political instability, chaos and anarchy due to the a fractured mandate in the 2014 General elections..
A very apt analysis of the current status of BJP and some insights for the future. I hope the top leaders of BJP read this and try to initiate actions to improve the situation.Its high time the party has to soread its roots in rural India as well.
Well said Sanjay!!
What ever way BJP tries to position itself in the country, the challenge remains the positioning of politics in minds of Indians. The educated & patriotic Indian feels all are in the same boat so it will take lot of efforts by BJP to change the perception. However BJP is better compared to others and I am sure things will change!!
I got what you are saying. And I agree with you totally. It's time. It's time BJP gears up to be in Power. For the sake of India.

Generations of Success: Stephen Boswell '89 Leads the Engineering Firm his Grandfather Founded
When Stephen Boswell '89 drives to work — or nearly anywhere else in the Northeast, for that matter — he feels secure knowing his engineering firm likely designed or improved many of the roads and bridges he's driving over.
Boswell, a Board of Trustees member, is President and CEO of Boswell Engineering in South Hackensack, New Jersey — one of four Boswell generations in his family to become licensed professional engineers. He now leads the firm after a mid-career change and a cross-country move back to New Jersey, where he earned a double master's and then a Ph.D. at Stevens.
Boswell Engineering has always been a family affair: Stephen's grandfather David founded the firm in 1924 as a two-employee field office doing surveying and civil engineering, and Stephen's father Howard continued the tradition. His daughter Kristen, the first fourth-generation licensed engineer in the nation, until recently designed all aspects of transportation systems and managed the full spectrum of the firm's services provided to municipal clients. Bruce and Kevin Boswell, brothers of Stephen and also licensed engineers, serve as corporate Vice Presidents.
With satellite offices in White Plains and Albany, New York, the company is renowned for its design and management of roadways, bridges, and water and wastewater treatment facilities. Over the past two decades, the firm has been involved in billions of dollars' worth of work in the northeastern U.S. on state and interstate roadways and bridges, including projects for the Port Authority of NY & NJ; the New Jersey Turnpike; the New York State Department of Transportation; and the New York State Thruway Authority.
The firm also operates one of the nation's few underwater engineering divisions with licensed engineers, providing subaqueous inspection and remediation design to bridges and waterfront facilities as close to home as the Hudson River and as far afield as Hawaii.
"We are extremely diverse," says Boswell.
Boswell wasn't always in charge of the family company. After completing bachelor's and master's degrees in biology and chemistry at NYU and William Paterson University, he moved to California to work as a process engineer. In 1987, at the request of his brother Howie, Stephen returned east and assumed the position as the firm's COO. Today Stephen continues the legacy of his grandfather and father.
"I needed to learn about engineering, because I was not working as a civil engineer," he recalls. "And Stevens did a phenomenal job of training me."
Taking night classes while serving as COO, Boswell completed a double master's in civil engineering in 1989, then continued on to a Ph.D. in environmental engineering in 1991. His thesis described a novel technology for removing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and radon from drinking water. While Boswell never prototyped the technology, he says it still makes good business and public safety sense for a water purveyor to test it one day.
In addition to sitting on the Board of Trustees, Boswell has given regularly and generously back to Stevens in order to support the dreams of future engineers.
"It was ingrained in us when we were growing up that, when you can give back, you do," he says. "I have been fortunate enough to be able to do so."
Boswell's support includes gifts and pledges to athletics programs, Stevens' Altorfer Academic Complex, the construction of the Babbio Center, and — more recently — to a scholarship fund that has provided and will continue to provide much-needed financial assistance to undergraduates majoring in engineering, particularly civil engineers.
"Civil engineers build the transportation networks that get us safely to work and back home again," he explains. "Engineering is important, and Stevens is fantastic at delivering an engineering education. I received a terrific graduate education, and the undergraduate program is even better, one of the best in the nation."
Boswell's own experience as chief executive bears that out.
"We hire a lot of Stevens graduates," he points out, "and I have never once been disappointed in the intellectual preparedness of a Stevens graduate. Not once. If you completed a degree at Stevens, you have proven both your intellectual capability and your perseverance."
Boswell says he strongly supports Stevens' plans, with the leadership of President Nariman Farvardin, to strategically grow the student body, faculty, and campus.
"He is the right person, at the right time, for Stevens," concludes Boswell. "He is impressive, and he is leading us in the right direction."

Women back in Vt. facing bank robbery charges after release from NH prison
BRATTLEBORO, Vt. (AP) � A 32-year-old woman suspected of taking part in a Bellows Falls bank robbery is back in Vermont after her release from a New Hampshire jail where she was being held on unrelated charges.
Amber Monty is charged with aiding in the commission of a felony in the robbery of the People's United Bank on Atkinson Street.
Windham County prosecutors issued a warrant for Monty's arrest in May, but she couldn't appear in court until her release from the New Hampshire facility.
Monty, of Bellows Falls, pleaded not guilty at her arraignment earlier this month.
The Brattleboro Reformer (http://bit.ly/TpOU4e ) reports Monty was the girlfriend of one of the two men who entered the bank on Feb. 28 and demanded cash. They did not display a weapon, but made off with $6,136.

I want to start off by giving a big THANKS to the Chirco staff. I have only had my Baja a little over a month now but they all have been very helpful in everything I've needed. If I didn't understand something they explained it very well. I took the Baja from something that hadn't run in two years or so and got it moving again, I couldn't have done it with the help from them and the extensive parts selection they have.

STERLING — The State Board of Land Commissioners (State Land Board) met in Sterling last week at the Elks Lodge.
Commissioners present included Buck Blessing of Colorado Springs, Michele Bloom of Denver, Tom Hoyt of Boulder and Tom Gray of Moffat County. Sandy Leinsdorf of Gunnison was absent.
After the commissioners finished an executive session to discuss legal and property matters, the regular meeting started with an opportunity for public comment. There were no comments given.
It was announced that Blessing has been reappointed to the board, Gary Butterworth has been selected to replace Hoyt and Bob Bledsoe from Cheyenne County was selected to replace Leinsdorg.
Following recognition of Hoyt and Beverly Rave, field operations manager, who has been selected to receive the Colorado Cattlemen's Association's Public Service Award, the board took action on several items.
Those items included six Investment and Development Funds projects, costing a total of $345,000. The projects support line of business revenue and value enhancement initiatives, as well as specific property infrastructure investment.
Among the projects is a potential partnership with Ducks Unlimited for a water recharge/habitat restoration project along the South Platte River, a cost of $40,000. There would also be two other parts to this project, including Park County wetland mitigation project phase-II, a cost of $60,000 and Larimer County stream mitigation and habitat restorations, a cost of $10,000.
Total cost of the project would be $100,000.
"I have concerns with all of these (projects)," Blessing said. "These don't feel, to me, like investments, they feel to me like speculations and that we are, well, let's throw $100,000 at this, let's throw $100,000 into this and maybe something will land, maybe we'll get lucky."
He said he understands a lot of thought and planning went into the project proposals, "but if I personally had $350,000 that I was going to invest, I don't think I would invest it on things that are highly, highly speculative in terms of whether there will ever be any kind of payoff whatsoever."
Blessing referred specifically to another project involving exploring and drilling for gold under a future reservoir site in Lake County.
After some discussion the commissioners decided table the projects listed above, as well as two others and approve two of the six projects due to their time sensitivity. The projects approved include demolition of a building at Fourth and Elizabeth Streets in Pueblo, a cost of $50,000, and redoing the bathrooms at Bohart House, south of Ellicott, and rebuilding the loading chutes on the Brett Gray Ranch in Rush, a cost of $20,000.
The other projects were tabled so the commissioners can get more information about the return on investment for each project.
Besides the previous projects mentioned, the other two projects that were tabled are improvements to a sod farm canal, a cost of $35,000, and an assessment of the voluntary carbon market and demand for wetland mitigation opportunities, a cost of $40,000.
In other business, the commissioners approved initiating a non-simultaneous exchange of 640 acres of School Trust Property, 10 miles south and one mile west of Holyoke in Phillips County, with a minimum price of $2,639,200, and established that the value of the improvements would be $375,700. The commissioners noted the trees that have been planted are part of the value of the property and would need to stay.
Danny Skalla, district manager for the northeast district of the Colorado State Land Board, listed a number of reasons the property should be sold at this time: Wells within the Ogallala Aquifer are experiencing a declining water table, and water is being diverted to meet the terms of the Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska Compact. The Republican River Water Conservation District is assessing $14.50 per irrigated acre to help pay for the water diversion and that amount is double what most irrigated land farmers pay. Irrigation costs are increasing on an annual basis; electricity has increased 15 to 20 percent over the last three years; and wells on the property are in compliance with the requirement that all wells with the district must be monitored for expansion over appropriated acres and must have measuring meters in place.
Additionally, the commissioners approved a comprehensive lease policy.
"Essentially what we're trying to do here is create a single policy that handles all of our leasing activities and it's focused exclusively on the delegation of decision making to the staff for very specific types of leases," said Tobin Follenweider, deputy director for the Colorado State Land Board.
"We wanted to make something clear, concise and at the same time allow the board to continue, obviously, functioning in its fiduciary role as decision makers over the trust."
He also pointed out the policy eliminates 17 existing independent policies for making lease decisions, which were very disjointed.
His goal was to focus not so much on details of how decisions are made, but more on what decisions are made by whom.
Follenweider said they want to "focus the board's decisions every month on those areas that have the greatest impact on trust land." The board will be informed about all leasing activities through an annual report.
The one thing he noted they've done that's different than what they've done is given a specific role to the attorney general's office.
The board also approved a sand and gravel lease with Robins Construction, LLLP, in Conejos County and appointed Jean Krause of Walden, Dave Soucie of Silverthorne, John Rich of Walden, Jerry Abboud of Thornton and Deb Alpe of Walden to the Colorado State Forest Advisory Board.

He plans to play Adam Dunn at right field again. Last time he got away with it with Dunn getting one ball hit to him only.
Manager Ozzie Guillen then said that Dunn might play in two of the three games this weekend, once for Konerko and once for Carlos Quentin in right.
"Wrigley Field is easy, he can play right field," Guillen said. "[In Colorado] I don't want him playing right field because the gap is too big for him to be chasing balls. I plan for him to play maybe two games. I try to figure out how to do it."

The SANTA SHAME SPIRAL Continues…Interview With LeMonjello Otis
Today we continue our series chronicling the downfall of one of Earth's most beloved holiday icons, Santa Claus. Our guest today is a self-proclaimed, "Herbal Entrepreneur" who was arrested that fateful night in January alongside Santa Claus. Today we sit down with Santa's alleged dealer, LeMonjello Otis.
H.E.: Hello again. Today I'm digging further into the seedy, rumor-filled world of the ongoing drama surrounding Santa Claus. With me today is Mr. LeMonjello Otis, who is rumored to be a connection to this ongoing case. Mr. Otis, can you describe your relationship with Mr. Claus?
L.O.: Whoa, now wait jist a New York minute, there, fine lady. The Lemon-man don't have no, relationships, with no brothers. I don't know who you been talkin' to, but (slaps fist into palm), but they might wanta think twice about dissin' L. O. Me and S.C. go way back to college days; you might say that ol' Red-n-White likes his recreational treats, but that's all I know.
H.E.: So then the other rumors about you making massive campaign contributions to a certain recently-reelected government official would also be false?
L.O.: Total bullshit, sister. Though I would like to make some massive contributions to Michelle; seen the wiggle on that? Some fine junk in that trunk! Speaking a fine, most folks need to call me L. O., but a fine sister like you can call me Lemon.
H.E.: I am definitely not your sister. You have been seen frequenting the D.A.'s office on many occasions. What has he offered you in return for whatever knowledge you… uh, don't have… on Mr. Claus?
L.O.: (Lights a cigarette, frowns, looks at the floor) I'm not supposed to say no shit about that. Let's just say the Lemon-man likes to spend time with the ladies, not at no barbed-wire and concrete men's club.
H.E.: The N.P.P.D. Chief claims you are a menace and a known drug dealer. Your comment?
L.O.: The Chief might do good to not let his own daughter record certain "fashion-shows" that the chief likes to put on on Saturday nights. Speakin' of fashion shows, the Lemon-man likes to dress like a stud, but for as fine a form as you got, sister–let's just say, you want me to wear a tutu, long as nobody's filmin' it, I'm there for ya, long as you let me cook breakfast for you in the morning, know what I'm sayin'?
H.E.: No, thank you. Can you prove those counter-accusations?
L.O.: In two years, when the chief's daughter turns 18, they's gonna be lots a provin' goin' on. The Lemon may not be Billy Graham, but the sisters gots to be legal.
H.E.: Have you had dealings with a certain Brown Shugga?
L.O.: (Blows smoke out his nose, coughs, and whistles) Whooo-eee, dealin's?? Let's us just say, the Lemon-man has a sniffle, he visits Shugga, an' the sinuses are clear as a Nebraska sunrise, know what I'm sayin'. (Smiles stupidly for 45 seconds) You is fine, sister, whatsay you 'n' Shugga have a "nice-ass" contest over at my crib this weekend? The Lemon bring in a truckload a Viagra for you two.
H.E.: I see, and no, I do not want any of that. So would you characterize yourself as her pimp?
L.O.: The Lemon is a investor, nothin' more, nothin' less. Brown Shugga, she be my chief investment. Brother got to bring in some lawyer-money, know what I'm sayin'?
H.E.: Uhhh… yes, I suppose I must admit one must keep one's pimp hand strong. Does the name Lipshitz the Elf mean anything to you?
L.O.: Le's just say, none a the sisters wants ta get in the little man's van. Somethin' odd about the brotha. Hell, something odd about a van. (Shivers, pulls on his whisky)

DOE A to Z: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z #
Q. Who needs to know that a student or employee has HIV infection?
A. There is no need for anyone at school to know the HIV status of pupils or employees. What everyone does need to understand is that the blood of any student or employee could potentially be infected with a bloodborne pathogen such as HIV or Hepatitis B and that under normal conditions in regular educational programs, use of universal precautions is sufficient to protect against transmission of bloodborne diseases. Schools are required to help school staff understand and maintain this minimal risk through written procedures and staff training. Under federal OSHA rules at 29 CFR 1910.1030 and New Jersey PEOSH, school district must provide annual inservice training and ready access to the necessary protective equipment to those who have been identified as at-risk of exposure to blood under the school district Exposure Control Plan. Additional instruction of students in universal precautions and first aid procedures assists school staff in implementing this policy.
Students, their parents or guardians, and employees are not obligated to inform school personnel regarding their HIV status and cannot be required to do so in accordance with state regulation and statute. School staff with knowledge of the HIV status of others in the school is not at liberty to share that information with others without specific written consent.
Q. How do records related to the HIV status of students relate to other records maintained by the school?
A. While not required to do so, some parents or students may share HIV status information in order to obtain health care or educational support. Records and information regarding the HIV status of a student may be shared only with the written consent of the student's parent or guardian and only with those who need to know in order to determine the educational program for the student. Good practice calls for a consent form that specifies the individuals to be informed by name and by title. HIV status may not be required as part of a school's student health screening or medical examination requirements.
The standards for maintaining confidentiality of records which identify the HIV status of an individual are established in N.J.S.A. 26:5C, and exceed those established for district student records or health records. Therefore, any such record should be maintained separately from educational or health records and be released only with written consent or under conditions allowed in the statute. Identifying records could include the written consent form, referral letters from health-care providers, child study team evaluations, or medication records. Should the identified student transfer to another school, the HIV identifying records should not be transferred automatically with other health records. Rather, a plan and written consent for transfer should be established with the student and parent.

A major renovation means plenty of changes at Tucci's in Dublin. Changes extend to the menu. Tucci's no longer bills itself as an Italian restaurant and has dropped "California Bistro" from its name.
A major renovation means plenty of changes at Tucci�s in Dublin. Changes extend to the menu.
Tucci�s no longer bills itself as an Italian restaurant and has dropped �California Bistro� from its name.
The pizza section is off the menu and the oven removed.
The menu features an American steakhouse section, where everything is a la carte. But it goes far beyond steaks, offering seasonal and year-round fare.
The four thin slices of the fried green tomatoes ($9) are thickly breaded, fried and served with microgreens, a lemony mayonnaise, and, in a nice touch, hominy grits. The presentation � on a narrow, long plate � is visually appealing.
The same style of plate is used to hold the bresaola- style beef ($10), cured, uncooked thin slices of mildly seasoned beef that don�t taste in the least raw. They�re lightly dressed with a few dabs of minced parsley.
The most notable aspect of the appetizer is the generous accompaniments: several cornichons; a number of cooked, pickled onions; and strips of sweet pepper, all tossed with a mustard dressing and placed on a radicchio leaf.
Calamari �fries� ($11) are excellent breaded and deep-fried pieces of tender calamari; there�s nothing rubbery here. They�re served in a rolled-down brown paper bag, the bottom of which is spread with a contrasting mix of pickled peppers and sauteed chili peppers that give a noticeable, but not excessive, spicy heat.
The calamari comes with two condiments: a slightly spicy tomato-based dip and a cooling mix of yogurt and cucumber.
The most original of the salads is the watermelon and feta ($7). Cubes of crisp watermelon are garnished with watercress. After a sprinkle of balsamic vinegar, the dish is decorated with a large, thin slice of prosciutto that has been cooked crisp.
Seafood entrees include grouper ($28). It�s gently roasted, then served with artichoke hearts, round house-made ravioli with a cheese and red-sweet-pepper filling, microgreens, miniature tomatoes and fresh mozzarella.
The best part is the light garlic-and-lemon-scented broth, which does justice to the mild fish. A light vinaigrette is drizzled on the tomatoes and the artichoke hearts.
Walleye coated with sesame seeds ($25) is given a top-notch saute, coming out golden-brown with a moist, flaky interior. The dish, like the grouper, is exceptionally well-garnished: small shrimp with a salsalike sauce, avocado slices, a couple of strips of crisply fried plantain and a large mound of fragrant (but salty) jasmine rice.
Pastas continue to hold a spot on Tucci�s menu. The spaghetti bolognese ($18) is more of a tomato sauce with some meat than a true bolognese sauce. It is served over regular linguine instead of the whole-wheat spaghetti promised by the menu.
Tucci�s continues to make its own sorbets (two scoops for $3). A mango version with assertive dots of ginger will appeal to mango fans. Equally effective is the banana sorbet with sliced strawberries mixed in.
The texture of the silk pie ($7) lives up to its name, merging the layers of Oreo crust, light chocolate and dark chocolate into a moist, delicate yet flavorful whole. It comes with a creme anglaise that�s well-made with Frangelico liqueur.
You can also get a couple of light cream puffs ($7) filled with a too-mildly flavored coffee cream. The puffs rest atop a couple of swirls of chocolate sauce.
The enlarged wine list goes beyond the old one, with less focus on big California offerings and more on French and Italian wines. By-the-glass pours come from bottles preserved by the Enomatic wine dispenser.
The �Tuscan Red� ($8) is medium-bodied, fragrant and refined and, most important, made to accompany food. On the Spanish side, there is a very good tempranillo-based red from Valetta ($9), which has excellent acidity to go with its elegant aroma and body.
Sadly, the Prosecco by Maschio ($9) is dismal and unfit for food.

More on Milwaukee Vouchers
Joseph Lawler and Philip Klein of the American Spectator have some helpful comments on my earlier post about the misunderstanding and misrepresentation of a recent report on Milwaukee's voucher program. I had stated that the city's public schools cost taxpayers about 50% more than the voucher program, and Lawler and Klein note that it's really more like 100%. They're right. The approved FY2010 budget is $1.073 billion and enrollment is 82,444 — for a per pupil figure of just over $13,000/pupil. The voucher is worth only $6,607.
My mistake was to rely on my recollection of the MPS spending figure used in a 2009 fiscal impact analysis of the voucher program, which turns out not to have included all the district's revenue sources.
But while I'm following up on this, I'd like to re‐emphasize the final point of my earlier post, to which the Spectator writers did not draw particular attention: the Milwaukee voucher program is not a test of free market education. As I noted earlier, its total enrollment is legislatively limited to about 20,000 students, and in the past that limit was much lower. Additionally, there is a rigid price control on voucher schools — the voucher must be accepted as full payment, even though it is worth only half as much as public schools spend per pupil.
Think carefully about this. What entrepreneur would enter an industry whose total customer base is confined to a few thousand families in a single U.S. city and which has a rigid price control set at half the spending level of a government protected monopoly operating in that same city?
That is not test of market forces.

Ive got two remaining locations to get working correctly on my vpn. The tunnels are working fine. I can ping the computers using their internal address or pcanywhere into them threw the network. The computers cannot however logon to the domain (although they appear that they do because of cached info), they cannot run loggin scripts or map network drives. On trying to manually map to a network drive I get cannot establish trust relationship. Ive sent them new checkpoint soho 6 vpn clients thinking the boxs were defective. Removed their tunnel, gateway connections and made new ones on the main firewall. Updated the images twice on the clients. Ive even sent them both new computers that I know can logon to the network (because they were set up at corp where all the others were set-up) but not from there. The main fw is a WG firebox III. The remote machines are dell gx270s running win2k pro and the server that administers the firewall is a 2k server. Its a 2k network.
One of them has covad as an isp while the other has version. All the others are mostly version with two others using covad and a few cable thrown in, without a problem on any of them.
Im completely at a loss. Any suggestions?

Rule 5 pick Kahnle's story one of perseverance
Rookie righty reliever first Major Leaguer from Division II Lynn University
DENVER -- The moral of Rockies rookie reliever Tommy Kahnle's story: Everything comes together on time, even if it isn't on someone else's time.
Kahnle, 24, was left unprotected by the Yankees -- with whom he hadn't advanced beyond Double-A -- last winter because his control hadn't reached the point the team wanted when it had to make its decisions. The Rockies took him in the Rule 5 Draft. Suddenly, Kahnle has pulled his hard-throwing style together against Major League hitters, to the tune of 2-0 with a 1.59 ERA, with work in important situations.
Being on a different timetable than the norm, however, is the background of the story of how Kahnle became the first Major Leaguer produced by Lynn University, a successful NCAA Division II program in Boca Raton, Fla.
Kahnle grew up in Latham, N.Y., but pitched in camps and showcases in Florida and knew he wanted to play where it was warm. He eschewed offers from Northeastern and Midwestern schools. His plan was to play at Florida Atlantic University, also in Boca Raton.
"I kind of messed up the whole recruiting process with them," Kahnle said. "I think I missed the deadline with some kind of paperwork. So I got scratched off the list.
"Lynn had stopped talking for a while. They knew I was being recruited by Florida Atlantic and they didn't want to come in on the heels of them. But eventually I just called them, and they offered me whatever [scholarship] money they had left."
Throughout college and the Minors, Kahnle displayed athletic ability, a strong arm and work ethic. Folks just hoped the control needed for big league success would come.
Kahnle was a versatile athlete through high school. He played quarterback, tight end, wide receiver, linebacker and safety in football. Rockies area scouting supervisor John Cedarburg, who scouted Kahnle at Lynn, noted, "He can dunk a basketball, so you know he's an athlete with a lot of power in his legs." But he hadn't pitched much, which meant his arm was fresh but he was also raw.
However, Lynn head coach Rudy Garbalosa saw the possibilities.
"He had incredible focus, and he would take his throwing sessions very competitively," Garbalosa said. "As an example, we'd do long-toss as far as you want. Our field down the line is 325 feet, so it was 325 from the foul line to the center-field fence. When he got here, he could throw to the warning track. By his second year he was throwing to the fence, then he was throwing them over the fence so he had to long-toss diagonally. All his throwing was very important to him.
"Then in the games, he was a great competitor."
As a freshman, Kahnle pitched mostly as a starter until the postseason, when he threw 12 2/3 scoreless innings and was most valuable player of the regional tournament and when the Fighting Knights won the Division II national tournament.
Kahnle continued as an occasional starter and reliever who attracted scouting attention. He threw a no-hitter on March 13, 2010. While his stuff was electric, he was never made an all-conference or All-American selection.
"Back then, I had a lot of control issues so I was very inconsistent, but I threw hard," Kahnle said. "That was the one perk I had going for me."
Cedarburg said the Rockies were disappointed when the Yankees selected him in the fifth round of the 2010 MLB First-Year Player Draft. In the Yankees' system, Kahnle was 6-9 with a 3.07 ERA and 26 saves in 128 relief appearances. Last year, he earned 15 saves at Double-A Trenton, but 74 strikeouts to 45 walks in 60 innings pitched kept him off the 40-man Major League roster. The Rockies, seeking power pitchers, took him.
During Spring Training, Kahnle struck out nine against two walks and made the club. The Rockies must keep him in the Majors the entire season or else offer him back to the Yankees for $25,000 -- half the cost of the Rule 5 pick.
Often Rule 5 picks are eased in early. But April 3 against the Marlins, Kahnle entered with in the sixth with two runners on, and one out with a two-run lead. Kahnle gave up one hit, a Casey McGehee RBI triple, but left with a strikeout, a walk and the lead in a game the Rockies lost.
"He's shown he's very comfortable in some very tough situations, so I haven't shied away from putting him in some tough situations," Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. "He's handled it."
Kahnle has had a pair of two-inning stints -- once replacing injured starter Brett Anderson in the fourth and fifth innings of a 1-0 victory, the other time Monday when starter Jorge De La Rosa left after five innings of an 8-2 victory.
Kahnle has a hard fastball and a changeup that helps against lefties. He is developing his slider and working on his balance so he doesn't fall off to the first-base side and lose control. With 11 strikeouts but six walks in 11 1/3 innings, he still has work to do.
"The key to me was the other day when he pitched with rest, he was sharper with his command, and that's a great sign," Rockies pitching coach Jim Wright said.
Kahnle realizes he needs to make efficient use of his time to develop fully.
"I still don't think everything has come together yet," Kahnle said. "As soon as I get the fastball command down and my slider more consistent, I think it'll be much better.
"I don't think it's really settled in as much yet, and it's been almost a month. Every day it's like, 'I'm here. Made it.' But the thing is, I want to be here longer. I want to stay, never go back."

Normal Mode
When a boy comes to Eton he will join a house of just over 50 boys (unless he is a Colleger; there are 70 boys in College) aged between 13 and 18. His house will be the hub of his life at Eton for the next five years. Each house is under the care of a house master, who will look after him, support him and, if necessary, make sure he behaves himself. The house master is the main point of contact with the school for a boy's parents.
The house master is supported by a dame, a dame's assistant and a full domestic staff. The dame looks after a boy's health, and she also runs the domestic side of the house. Each house has a deputy house master and two assistants attached to it and they will also help to ensure that every boy gets the best out of his time at Eton.
There are a number of important senior boys with responsibilities in the house, the first of whom is the house captain. He will do his best to make sure a boy enjoys his time in the house and participates fully in the various activities on offer in the wider school. Another important senior boy is the captain of games. He will encourage everyone to play a range of games, and will expect every boy to participate in house teams regularly. The senior boys will have the answers to lots of day-to-day questions about Eton life. Every boy will also be encouraged to take part in plenty of other house activities: concerts, plays, musical and debating competitions, and so on.
Every boy at Eton has his own study-bedroom. This is his own private space, which he can decorate as he pleases (within limits set by his house master) and where he can entertain his friends, or exclude them if he wants a bit of peace and quiet. About half of the houses eat breakfast, lunch, and supper in Bekynton, a large central dining complex; the others have their own chefs and their own house dining-rooms. Every house, whether Bekynton or not, provides a mid-morning Chambers snack and also a mid-afternoon boys' tea, a relatively informal affair where boys make themselves toast and (in some houses) are allowed to cook themselves something a bit more ambitious. This is called 'messing'. If after all of this boys are still hungry, Rowlands serves snacks of almost every description.
All boys are allowed home for Long Leave every half and for Short Leave twice in the Michaelmas and once in the Lent and Summer halves. Boys can also go home after formal commitments have finished on a Saturday for one other weekend each half (when Chapel is on Sunday evening) . Boys can also go home or go out with their parents, with their house master's permission, whenever they are free from school or house commitments.
Here is a list of all the houses.

G.A.B. Releases 2012 Election Cost Data
MADISON, WI – The Government Accountability Board today released local election cost data for elections held in April, May and June 2012.
At the request of the Legislature, the G.A.B. began last August to collect election cost data from Wisconsin's 72 counties and 1,851 municipalities. Most election costs are borne by local taxpayers.
- The April 3, 2012 Spring Election and Presidential Preference Primary cost local taxpayers $7.6 million, including $2.2 million in poll worker wages and $1.9 million in staff salaries. Ballots cost $957,000 and election equipment programming cost $771,000.
- The May 8, 2012 Recall Primary cost local taxpayers $6.3 million, including $2.3 million in poll worker wages and $1.7 million in staff salaries. Ballots cost $728,000 and programming cost $617,000.
- The June 5, 2012 Recall Election cost local taxpayers nearly $7.2 million, including $2.5 million in poll worker wages and $1.9 million in staff salaries. Ballots cost $984,000 and programming cost $596,000.
For these three elections, clerks reported investing more than $1 million in for training poll workers: $655,000 for April, $161,000 for May and $250,000 for June.
"Instead of conducting two primaries and two elections this year, Wisconsin election officials will be conducting six elections, which added approximately $13.5 million in unbudgeted costs," said Kevin Kennedy, director and general counsel of the G.A.B. "These unplanned elections also put significant stress on Wisconsin's clerks, who have many other duties beyond elections."
Elections Division Administrator Nat Robinson cautioned that the cost data has not been audited, and said clerks may have used different methods in arriving at their numbers. Anyone using the data should understand that:
- These figures should not be construed as a complete accounting of audited election-related expenses. The G.A.B. has published instructions on completing the election cost report, but clerks may interpret these instructions and report expenditures differently. In addition, cost data may be incomplete and reflect the information available when the data was reported. While initial reports are due 30 days after an election, municipal and county clerks have the ability to update their data as more specific information becomes available.
- Election cost data are provided by each municipality and county for each statewide election. G.A.B. staff asked that clerks provide these data based on actual paid invoices or the clerk's best available information rather than estimates (i.e. unpaid invoices, accepted bids, etc.) within the required reporting period. As clerks receive updates, they may revise their reports.
- The cost reporting is part of collecting elections statistics, and is intended to provide a more complete picture of election administration in our state, including the costs of conducting elections. Collecting this data allows the G.A.B to provide detailed reports to the Legislature, the media, voters, and the general public about elections throughout the State of Wisconsin, and will assist municipalities to prepare and budget for elections.
Additionally, processing recall petitions and other preparations for the May and June recall elections by the G.A.B. actually cost the state $663,000, compared to the original $975,000 estimate prepared in February 2012. Hiring temporary staff to process the recall petitions was the largest single expense, at just over $212,000. Data entry services necessary to comply with a court order to search for and strike duplicate signatures and fake names cost $94,333, and identified 4,001 duplicate signatures and four fictitious names out of 931,053 signatures submitted to recall Governor Walker.
The data in this news release was reported by county and municipal clerks on Form GAB-190 - Election Voting and Registration Statistics Report, which can be found on the agency website: gab.wi.gov/elections-voting/statistics. Cost reporting on GAB-190 began with the April 3, 2012 Spring Election and Presidential Preference Primary. Cost data for the February 21, 2012 Spring Primary is not available. Recall election cost estimates prepared at the request of the Legislature are available here: gab.wi.gov/publications/other/2012-recall-expense-estimates.
Election cost data for the August 14 Partisan Primary is due from county and municipal clerks this week, and should be available to the public in several weeks.

I was a slacker this year and didn't get around to doing Christmas cards, so I thought I'd post something on here for anyone that still checks.
Audrey is turning 2 in just a few weeks! She's our little firecracker and always keeps us moving. She runs on her tip toes (where did she get that from?!) wherever she goes and is usually as happy as can be. She loves babies and is quickly mastering her colors and letters. She is quite the little talker these days, though it's still a guessing game to figure out exactly what she says!
Evan is 4 and is enjoying preschool. He goes twice a week with 3 of his best buddies. He just finished his first soccer season and is getting ready to start T-Ball in the spring. He is a great big brother and loves anything related to space! He can tell you a couple facts about each planet and even some of their moons! He has been starting to read and spell and loves to do simple math problems!
Baby Brother is due February 7! We're getting very close and are anxious to meet him. We are still trying to decide on a name, but are determined to have it picked out before his big debut. Evan is very excited to have a little brother! Audrey on the other hand is in for a big surprise! She loves babies, but we're not so sure she'll like being replaced as the baby in our family.
I'm busy chasing two toddlers around while trying to sneak in a nap every once in a while. I am currently serving as the 10 year old primary teacher and it's been a lot of fun. I'm definitely counting down the days until I'm done being pregnant and I have another blue bundle to snuggle!
Reed has been keeping busy as a field engineer at PCL Construction. He recently was able to present at a regional conference and is being a great missionary to those he works with. . He is currently serving as a priest advisor in our ward and is enjoying keeping those boys in line!
And though PCL has been good to us, Reed will be starting a new job as an Assistant Engineer for Webb Associates after the holidays. We are excited for the change and are so grateful for the opportunities it will provide our family. One of the big differences will be that we won't be moving around every few years! We have loved being here in Riverside and are excited to really call it home.
We're so grateful for the wonderful year we have had and are looking forward to all the exciting changes that 2014 will bring. We love this time of the year that we have to reflect on the birth of our Savior and are so grateful for Him and His gospel. We hope this finds you all well and that you all have a very merry Christmas!

Sarah Jessica Parker said she's pretty sure there's another "Sex and the City" film in her.
"I would go back," Parker told The Los Angeles Times, in her latest comments on prospects for a third sequel. "I think there's one more story to tell. I know there is."
Speaking from the set of her new comedy, "I Don't Know How She Does It," Parker told the Times she'd be ready to do another film based on the TV hit in "maybe five years."
U.S. & World
She also shot down rumors "Sex and the City 3" could be a prequel featuring younger actresses.
"I was like, Wha-a-a-a-t?" she told the Times.
Parker, 45, conceded stories about 21-year-olds would be "important and interesting."
"They prove to us on an everyday basis that they're interesting," she said. "Even their narcissism is interesting. Even their inertia is interesting. Even their tonal speech patterns are interesting."
But Parker told the Times she didn't think "we can pretend to go back."
"It's creating two histories," she said. "It's like, 'Oh I didn't know that about Carrie Bradshaw.'"
Parker isn't the only "Sex" star to weigh in on whether there should be another film.
Kim Cattrall, aka Samantha Jones, said earlier this year that despite being nominated with her "Sex and the City 2" co-stars for a Razzie she'd still sign up for no. 3.
But Chris Noth, who played Carrie Bradshaw's boyfriend and hubby "Mr. Big," has called the franchise "dead" in the wake of declining box office sales.
"Sex and the City 2's" worldwide gross was $288 million, according to Box Office Mojo. That compared to a $415 million haul worldwide for the first film.
"The press killed it," Noth told a New York mag scribe at a movie premiere in September.
"It's like all the critics got together and said, 'this franchise must die,'" he said. "Because they all had the exact same review. It's like they didn't see the movie."

The First Successful Cloning of a Gaur (2000), by Advanced Cell Technology
The first successful cloning of a gaur in 2000 by Advanced Cell Technology involved the cells of two animals: an egg cell from a domestic cow and a skin cell from a gaur. The researchers extracted the egg cell from the ovary of the domestic cow and the skin cell from the skin of the gaur. First, the researchers performed nuclear transplantation on the egg cell of the cow, during which they removed the nucleus of the egg cell. The mitochondria of the egg cell remained intact inside the cell.

1Jerusalem, take off your robe of mourning and misery;
put on forever the splendor of glory from God:a
2Wrapped in the mantle of justice from God,
place on your head the diadem
of the glory of the Eternal One.b
3For God will show your splendor to all under the heavens;
4you will be named by God forever:
the peace of justice, the glory of God's worship.c
5Rise up, Jerusalem! stand upon the heights;
look to the east and see your children
Gathered from east to west
at the word of the Holy One,
rejoicing that they are remembered by God.
6Led away on foot by their enemies they left you:
but God will bring them back to you
carried high in glory as on royal thrones.d
7For God has commanded
that every lofty mountain
and the age-old hills be made low,
That the valleys be filled to make level ground,
that Israel may advance securely in the glory of God.e
8The forests and every kind of fragrant tree
have overshadowed Israel at God's command;f
9For God is leading Israel in joy
by the light of his glory,
with the mercy and justice that are his.

As any of you who develop games without sight can attest, one of the biggest challenges facing blind developers (and therefore facing the accessible gaming market) is the lack of access to mainstream tools. It's high time we did something about it.
Below, you'll find a link to a three-year-old feature request for screen reader support in the Unity editor. I would like to start a sort of sustained grass-roots effort to flood this request with up votes. My request would be that anyone who reads this would follow the link, set up a Unity ID if you don't already have one, and up-vote this feature request as many times as you're able. If I understand correctly, you get a certain number of votes per month, so after the month passes, you can come back and up-vote it again. Let's make it clear to the developers of the Unity 3D engine that access to development tools is a pressing issue for blind developers, and that we're not going to be quiet until some serious attention is given to meeting our needs. Who's with me?
Here's the link to the feature request. Together, this community is a force to be reckoned with...let's prove it! https://feedback.unity3d.com/suggestion … essibility

i have three different calls to use my writeVertical method, but for some reason when i run the program, this is what i'm getting:
Call 1: 3
Call 2: 2053
Call 3: 53209
basically, the program isn't running for calls 2 and 3 - i'm sure this is a silly error on my part but how do i fix it?
/* Write a short recursive program (name the class that contains the main method Activity1) that calls a
recursive method (named writeVertical), which in turn takes one (nonnegative) int argument from the
user (prompted at run-time) and writes that int to the screen with the digits going down the screen one per
line from least significant to most significant. Your recursive method should not return any values.
Sample Input to the recursive method:
Sample Output (from the program):
Your implementation should hard-code at least three different calls to the writeVertical method using
different values of differing lengths. One of the calls must be of length (or size) 1 (that is, one digit long).
The other two calls can be of any other lengths, so long as they are of differing lengths. */
import java.util.*; public class Activity1 { public static void main(String[]args) { Scanner user_input = new Scanner( System.in ); int call1=3; System.out.println("Call 1: " + call1); String stringValue=Integer.toString(call1); writeVertical input1 =new writeVertical(); input1.reverseResult(stringValue,0); int call2 = 2053; System.out.println("Call 2: " + call2); writeVertical input2 = new writeVertical (); input2.reverseResult(stringValue,0); int call3 = 53209; System.out.println("Call 3: " + call3); writeVertical input3 = new writeVertical (); input3.reverseResult(stringValue,0); } } class writeVertical { public int reverseResult(String b,int c) { if(c==b.length()-1) { System.out.println(b.charAt(c)); return 0; } else { int temp=c; c=c+1; reverseResult(b,c); System.out.println(b.charAt(temp)); return 0; } } }

Today is Our Day 3 Peek at 2 more fabulous NEW Clear Art Stamp Sets - SL44 Let's Play Ball and SM43 Golf Time - which you can enter to win just by leaving a comment here on this blog post! Each day (July 11-15) I will be showing at least 2 NEW Stamp Sets and doing a giveaway, so be sure to come back and check them all out! You have all week to leave comments and 5 Winners will be announced Mon, July 18 on our next DT Challenge "New Product Show Offs & Techniques! Our Online Wholesale Show & Specials (for stores is July 18-25).
SL44 Play Ball is a large 6 x 8" Clear Art Stamp Set with 15 big stamps and amazing detail. To give you an idea of size, the bat is 3.5", ball is 1.5", boy is over 3" and ticket is 3.25"L x 1.5H. You can create a scene with the pitcher and batter, stamp the star in red and blue to create a border or background, or stamp the little smiley face on the small ball. The big ticket and player card paired with the words and extras make this a great set for creating baseball layouts, cards and keepsakes for your favorite ball player!
Look at this fantastic card from DT Member Julie Campbell! I love the inked and weathered baseball card and the way she re-stamped the ball player again and layered him. Papers are from our new CD, Creating with Vintage Patterns.
SM 43 Golf Time is a 4 x 6" medium set with 14 separate stamps for creating fun cards, layouts and keepsakes for golf lovers! The sentiments make this a perfect set for guy cards but we did squeeze in 'Queen of the Green' (which fits on the flag). I love the RX: "Take your iron and live on greens", or "You're Tee-riffic" , "Fore Someone Better than Par ", and my fav… "Relax…you're age is still lower than your score". You can stamp the grass to create a little scene, add the tee and stamp the ball in 'GOlf'. The golf shorts will be fun to color, or stamp and paper piece. Samples soon as our DT are just receiving these sets.
Okay, if you follow this blog - did you notice any difference today? I downloaded Windows Live Writer (DT Member Heidi Blankenship recommended) Blogging has always been hard for me but after my computer downloaded a bunch of security updates – it has been TORTURE! It seems like this free program will make it much easier.
Many of you may know DT Member Jan Hennings as she is active in so many paper crafting groups but you may not know her home suffered tornado damage recently and she is ok but hasn't had internet. She was feeling bad at not being able to post and I've been meaning to show this great card she created using the inside of our new Mini Vintage Creative Scraps. I love the background and how she added an image from the front of the Scraps
We also have another DT Member on the mend – Amy Teets recently had back surgery and is recuperating and we look forward to having her back and creating more fabulous digital layouts!
I mentioned DT leader Vicki Chrisman created a bunch of jewelry pieces with our new Mini Vintage Creative Scraps and I wanted to show you how cool the inside of the Mini Scraps look with the tone on tone images. Here is a blank bracelet Vicki embellished and she will be posting more pieces tomorrow using Jewelry Shoppe Finding from Hobby Lobby.
I also wanted to tell you about a Christmas in July Challenge that Darlene Pavlick is hosting over at Splitcoast and look at the beautiful card she created for it using our Vintage Christmas set! You can get the details and join in the fun and see the wonderful samples that people have started posting in the Gallery HERE!
Tomorrow I'm posting SL43 Antique Trims and SM42 Lacey Patterns (I'm in LOVE with both), plus some other very cool samples!
Don't forget to leave a comment on this post this week to be entered to WIN these 2 stamp sets Let's Hang Out and Birds of Happiness!
