Book reviews from past issues
Designing Inclusion: Tools to Raise Low-End Pay and Employment in Private Enterprise. By Edmund S. Phelps, ed. Cambridge, MA, Cambridge University Press, 2004, 165 pp., $55/hardback.
Low-Wage America: How Employers Are Reshaping Opportunity in the Workplace. By Eileen Applebaum, Annette Bernhardt, and Richard Murnane, eds. New York, Russell Sage Foundation, 2003, 535 pp., $45/cloth.
Both of these books are collections of studies, the first with 4 papers by a total of 9 authors, the second with 12 papers by a total of 38 authors. To enumerate them and summarize their work would take up more space than this review is allotted. The themes and approaches of the two, however, are quite different, and would tend to appeal to different types of labor economists. The Phelps volume exemplifies the micro-theoretic approach, of which he has been a pioneer, while the Applebaum, Bernhardt, and Murnane volume combines qualitative case studies with relatively straightforward quantitative tests of some basic relationship.
The focus of both books is on the increased labor market disadvantages faced by less-educated workers in general (high school or less), and on those confined to lower-paying industries in particular. Neither book unveils anything particularly startling, but it would be useful to have these sets of studies in ones professional library if one is concerned about labor market functioning and possible policy interventions. Both books benefit from excellent editor introductions, which provide overviews of the contributions.
In his introduction, Phelps makes the important point that " a deficiency of inclusiontoo few employed in societys central economic institution, the market economy, or too few of the employed able to support themselves by working, even full timehas social effects beyond income inequality, wage inequality and inequality in general." That means that inclusion cannot be improved via transfer payments to nonworkers, but that "worthwhile inclusion requires jobs offering real engagement in firms."
After this ringing evocation of the personal and social benefits of private-sector jobs, it is somewhat disconcerting to find the models developed in the four papers focus on variants of tax-financed employment and wage subsidies. That is, in order to get more people into better private-sector jobs, taxes still need to be leviednot to transfer money to nonworkers, but to induce low-wage workers to improve their skills and firms to hire them. So there is a role for the public sector after allthat is, providing the tools mentioned in the volumes subtitle.
The Applebaum, Bernhardt, and Murnane model also has a subtitle that does not completely disclose the books approach and findings. Employers are indeed "reshaping opportunity in the workplace," but some are reshaping to reduce opportunity while others are expanding it. The former group is reacting to intensified competition, globalization, and deregulation by paring down its compensation packages, outsourcing many functions, and reducing investment in its workforce. The members of the latter group are responding to the same winds of economic change by adopting new technologies more quickly; reducing turnover and increasing productivity by redefining jobs and increasing training; and taking advantage of contributions from governmental and nongovernmental intermediaries. Some of the firms offering better wages and working conditions for high-school-educated workers are those to whom work has been outsourcedfor example, temporary help firms or food manufacturers whose products, such as salads, are substituted for items traditionally prepared in hotel or restaurant kitchens.
Through their case studies, authors Applebaum, Bernhardt, and Murnane are able to provide rich descriptions of how much depends on managers knowledge of options for coping with change. It is possible for lower-wage and productivity firms to coexist with higher-wage and productivity firms within the same industry, in part by occupying different niches. In general, firms located in urban areas with more educational and other resources are more able, as well as more likely, to adapt in a positive way than those in areas where intermediaries and opportunities for dialogue are sparse. Regional technology and training consortia centered around community colleges, as in the North Carolina hosiery industry, can overcome some of the information and incentive barriers to investing in both new technologies and up-skilled workers.
A decade and a half ago, Gary Burtless edited and contributed to a similar collection of studiesin the 1990 Brookings Institution book, A Future of Lousy Jobs? Based on the studies in that book, he concluded his overview chapter by writing that for less skilled men, "The problem they face is not an overabundance of bad jobs but a surplus of unskilled workers both efficiency and equity will be served by improving the skills of workers now lodged at the bottom."
Both books under review similarly target, I think correctly, the need for workers at the lower end of the skill distribution to obtain more human capital to obtain access to higher-wage jobs. Beyond this, both also emphasize the social impacts on workers, their families and their communities, and the need for interventions to counteract forces outside the control of individuals and their immediate employers. That these books still need to be written is testimony not to ignorance of what to do, but to the fact that private and public policymakers need to accord these issues much greater priority.

Michael Turner | RB | Atlanta Falcons
Posted: 3/8/2013 12:06am et
The New England Patriots could show interest in free-agent RB
Michael Turner (Falcons) and Kansas City Chiefs impending free-agent
RB Peyton Hillis this offseason if they are willing to accept the
role as a goal-line back.
Huddle Up: Danny Woodhead is a UFA and isn't expected to return so there is an
opening in the N.E. backfield. And, hey, this is the Pats, whose
goal it seems is to frustrate fantasy owners by unpredictably mixing
and matching a full stable of backs on a weekly basis.
Posted: 3/3/2013 1:43pm et
The New York Giants could show interest in free-agent RB Michael Turner (Falcons) as a short-yardage back.
Huddle Up: Turner may no longer be a No. 1 back any more, but he definitely does have a nose for the end zone with 5 straight seasons with double-digit rushing TDs, including 10 this past season.
Posted: 3/1/2013 12:59pm et
The Atlanta Falcons released RB Michael Turner.
Huddle Up: Everyone saw this coming, as the Falcons clear $6.4 million in cap space by releasing the 31-year-old running back. The move leaves Jacquizz Rodgers as Atlanta's primary ball-carrier, at least for the moment; expect the Falcons to address the position via the draft or free agency.
Posted: 2/22/2013 1:04pm et
The Atlanta Falcons are likely to release RB Michael Turner. He's scheduled to make $6.9 million in 2013.
Huddle Up: Jacquizz Rodgers and Jason Snelling would be in line to share the backfield workload in Atlanta sans Turner, but you would have to think the Falcons would look for additional backfield help in the draft or free agency. Turner, meanwhile, would be a short-yardage committee option elsewhere.
Posted: 1/25/2013 9:53pm et
The Atlanta Falcons could consider restructuring RB Michael Turner's contract and use him as a red zone running back next season.
Huddle Up: Turner had digressed into the lead dog in an RBBC by season's end, with the bulk of his fantasy value coming as a goal line back. Jacquizz Rodgers may not be the Falcons' answer as an every-down back, but he could be involved in another committee approach with Turner as the goal line guy. Either way, Turner's days as a consistent 20-carry per game back appear to be in his rear-view mirror.
Posted: 1/20/2013 10:36pm et
Atlanta Falcons RB Michael Turner (ankle) suffered an ankle injury
early in the third quarter of Sunday's NFC Championship Game and did
not return.
Huddle Up: Turner finished with 30 yards on 8 carries, and there is speculation
that he might be a salary-cap casualty in the offseason after an
803-yard rushing season -- his worst in 5 seasons with the Falcons.
Posted: 1/10/2013 2:00pm et
Atlanta Falcons RB Michael Turner could be cut in the offseason. He has a $5.5 million salary, and the soon-to-be 31-year-old has shown signs of aging.
Huddle Up: Turner bailed out his fantasy owners with 10 TDs, but finished with only 803 yards -- his lowest single-season output since coming to Atlanta in 2008 -- had only 2 100-yard games and averaged only 3.6 yards per carry. At the very least, his days as a full-time starter seem to be numbered.
Posted: 1/5/2013 10:17am et
Atlanta Falcons RB Michael Turner carried the football just 222 times this season, well below his 301 carries last season. Entering the team's previous three playoffs trips, in 2008, 2010 and 2012, Turner had 376, 334 and 301 carries in the regular season, respectively. Turner also enters the playoffs healthy. "I tore my groin the last two years, one side one year, the other side the next year," Turner said. "So I don't have those problems coming into this year. I'm good."
Huddle Up: Um... ouch? Turner hasn't looked particularly spry down the stretch, but perhaps he's just been pacing himself. If he is indeed healthy and can give the Falcons 20 quality carries a game he'll provide a nice balance to the explosive Atlanta offense. Jacquizz Rodgers should see plenty of touches as well.
Posted: 12/6/2012 7:50pm et
Atlanta Falcons head coach Mike Smith said RB Michael Turner (thumb) should be able to play in Week 14 against the Carolina Panthers.
Huddle Up: Turner will be out there and that means the timeshare with Jacquizz Rodgers will continue. Turner's best asset has been his goalline work (7 TDs), and his fantasy owners will be banking on a score or 2 Sunday.
Posted: 11/29/2012 11:47pm et
Atlanta Falcons RB Michael Turner carried 12 times for a team-high
83 yards and a TD Thursday night in a 23-13 Week 13 win over the New
Orleans Saints. His only blemish was a late-game fumble as the
Falcons were trying to run out the clock.
Huddle Up: Turner's 3-yard run in the first quarter gave him 3 straight games
with a rushing TD. Still, despite the streak, Turner had been
struggling mightly with only 78 yards on 41 carries in his previous
3 outings, but he eclipsed that yardage total on a night in which he
ran with power and determination.
Posted: 11/26/2012 11:37am et
Atlanta Falcons RB Jacquizz Rodgers played in 31 offensive snaps in Week 12, while RB Michael Turner played in 23 snaps.
Huddle Up: Anyone who has watched football this season knows that Turner has lost at least a step from his "Burner" days, making him a poor fit for what the Falcons want to do offensively. Rodgers' role continues to grow, which in turn increases his fantasy value. Turner is still getting the ball at the stripe, but Rodgers' Week 12 touchdown against the Bucs indicates he's in the mix as well.
Posted: 11/16/2012 5:02pm et
Atlanta Falcons RB Michael Turner (groin) was limited in practice Friday, Nov. 16, and is questionable for the team's Week 11 game.
Huddle Up: This is an interesting develop for the Atlanta offense. Turner has been sputtering as of late while Jacquizz Rodgers has gotten stronger. Could this be Rodgers' coming out party? The Falcons have been stubborn when it comes to giving Turner carries, but an injury could change things.
Posted: 11/14/2012 3:13pm et
Atlanta Falcons RB Michael Turner has had nine carries inside the three-yard line this season and they have resulted in two touchdowns and one net yard rushing. In goal-to-go situations, Turner has carried 17 times for three touchdowns and totaled 18 net yards. The Falcons have struggled in all short-yardage situations this season. When needing two or fewer yards on third or fourth down, the Falcons have converted only seven of 15 rushes (46.7 percent) into first downs.
Huddle Up: A frequent visitor to Under the Number's Police Plodder, Turner's short-yardage woes should come as no surprise. Opposing defenses know what's coming, and Turner is no spring chicken. Couple that with an expected second-half decline like he has had the past couple of seasons and we might be looking at a fantasy bench warmer from here on out.
Posted: 11/13/2012 10:55pm et
Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter acknowledged
Tuesday, Nov. 13, that the short yardage offense is a major problem
for his unit. However, he defended RB Michael Turner, who had 13
carries for just 15 yards in Week 10. 'When you look at the tape on
the majority of Mike Turner's runs in the game the other day, he had
no chance. We had free runners at the point of attack,' Koetter
Huddle Up: It's been feast or famine with Turner this season as the Falcons'
back hasn't put back-to-back 100-yard rushing games together all
year and hasn't scored in consecutive games since Weeks 2 & 3. The
normal advice would be play the matchups with Turner, but then again
he failed to do anything with a great one last week against the
defenseless Saints.
Posted: 11/10/2012 10:59pm et
In the Atlanta Falcons' two most recent wins over the New Orleans Saints in 2008 and 2010, RB Michael Turner had 27 and 30 carries, respectively.
Huddle Up: Turner has been on a pitch count this season as the Falcons seek to keep him fresher. His single-game, season-high for rushing attempts is 24, and he hasn't had as many as 27 in a game since Week 7 of the 2011 season. And given the Saints' putrid defense (last in the NFL in opposing fantasy points allowed to opposing RBs, QBs and WRs), the Falcons have no shortage of game-plan options Sunday.
Posted: 9/19/2012 2:38pm et
Atlanta Falcons RB Michael Turner issued an apology Wednesday, Sept. 19, for his drunken driving arrest. Turner said he is sorry for the embarrassment he's caused the team and vows to do the right things to address the matter. He also said he expects to play in Week 3.
Huddle Up: Considering Marshawn Lynch has yet to sniff a suspension for his DUI despite having a history of run-ins with the commissioner's offense, Turner's playing time might not be impacted by this anytime soon. Whether or not his horrendous YPC will finally catch up with him is another question.
Posted: 9/18/2012 12:12pm et
Atlanta Falcons RB Michael Turner was arrested and charged with driving under the influence of alcohol and speeding early Tuesday, Sept. 18.
Huddle Up: The arresting officers were going to charge Turner with speeding, but they had seen his performance in the Monday night game and knew that wasn't an option. The Falcons indicated they were aware of the arrest and were seeking details; it's unlikely to result in a suspension for Turner, but it may expedite Jacquizz Rodgers' integration into the regular offense.
Posted: 9/18/2012 1:04am et
Atlanta Falcons RB Michael Turner carried 17 times for just 42 yards in Week 2 against the Denver Broncos Monday, Sept. 17, but he was able to find the end zone.
Huddle Up: Despite leading by multiple TDs for much of the night, Turner and the Falcons weren't really able to salt the game away with a ball-control attack. Moreover, Turner had only 27 yards on 16 carries before ripping off a 15-yard gain on his final attempt. He now has 74 yards on 28 carries in two games -- definitely not the Turner of recent seasons considering the Falcons have been playing with the lead for the overwhelming majority of their two contests.
Posted: 9/10/2012 11:17am et
Atlanta Falcons RB Michael Turner carried 11 times for just 32 yards in Week 1 against the Kansas City Chiefs, and he did not have any receptions.
Huddle Up: While it was a blowout win for the Falcons, it's notable that Turner played just one more snap than Jacquizz Rodgers. Turner is still in line to be Atlanta's goal line back, but as demonstrated in Week 1 they have plenty of passing game options in that area as well.
Posted: 8/22/2012 12:48pm et
Atlanta Falcons RB Michael Turner has just 14 yards on eight carries in the preseason so far; however, Turner insists there is no reason to panic as it is just a matter of getting his work in. 'It's just a matter of getting reps,' Turner said. 'It's just a glorified practice. You just want to get out there, get the looks and make the corrections from the game tape like you do for any other practice. You still want to look sharp and crisp out there and hopefully we'll clean all that up this week.'
Huddle Up: This should come as no surprise, particularly if you've read the preseason edition of 'Under the Numbers.' Turner is 30 years old and coming off several high-volume seasons. His YPC was 3.8 over his final six games, 3.3 if you exclude his big performance against the Bucs in Week 17. The preseason is not necessarily a great place to harvest statistics for fantasy purposes, but Turner's poor performances only serve to reinforce the notion that he is on the downslope.
Posted: 7/3/2012 8:16pm et
Atlanta Falcons running backs coach Gerald Brown indicated Monday, July 2, that the team is trying to work RBs Jason Snelling, Jacquizz Rodgers, Antone Smith, Dimitri Nance and Robbie Frey into the mix during training camp and the preseason. The team feels particularly good about Snelling and Rodgers, who are expected to spell RB Michael Turner more this season.
Huddle Up: Turner's fantasy reputation is becoming malodorous and we haven't started training camp yet. It seems unfair, but the Falcons keep releasing statements about reducing his carries, over and over. At times last year it seemed clear he had lost a step. Even his 81-yard TD in the season finale seemed labored. Turner has averaged 4.0 yards or less in 19 of his last 32 games.

Twilight Author Plots Another Trilogy

Stephenie Meyer arrives at 'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1' premiere at Nokia Theatre L.A. Live, Los Angeles on November 14, 2011
FIRST PUBLISHED: February 21, 2013 9:55 AM EST
LOS ANGELES, Calif. --
Stephenie Meyer's "The Host" doesn't have much in common with her Twilight series, except maybe the potential for a franchise.
Meyer is working on a sequel to the 2008 novel she began writing as an escape from the editing of "Eclipse," the third book in the Twilight vampire saga. And now that it too has reached the big screen, she's got more books in mind.
"Once you've created characters that have life to them, unless you kill them all, you know where their stories go. You're always aware of what happens next," Meyer told The Associated Press in an interview Tuesday. "I've got outlines for the next books. I would hope that this would be a three-book arc, but we'll see."
At an advance screening of "The Host," which premieres March 29, Meyer said she wrote the book when she was "kind of overwhelmed with vampires and red ink and a lot of people kind of having expectations of what they wanted from the next book and knowing that I wasn't always answering those."
"The Host" trades the vampires and werewolves of Meyer's previous works for space invaders. An alien race takes over the minds of their human hosts but leaves their bodies intact so that they can perfect the planet they believed humans were ruining. One human, a young woman named Melanie Stryder, refuses to give up her head space so easily.
Saoirse Ronan plays both Melanie and her alien invader in the film. Max Irons and Jake Abel play her love interests.
"The Host" will inevitably draw comparisons to the book and film series that made Meyer a phenomenon, but she hopes the story stands alone and appeals to a broader audience than just "Twi-hards."
For one thing, she calls it her "guy friendly" work because it explores bonds and loyalties beyond simple romantic love.
"When you're a teenager, love feels like life and death, but this is actual life and death, which is kind of more fun," Meyer told the Miami audience.
"Not to mention all the explosions and gunfire," said Abel, who plays Ian O'Shea, one of the human rebels in the story.
What "The Host" does have in common with the Twilight saga is a love triangle, though one complicated further by two distinct entities sharing one body.
"Jake and Max call it the `love box,'" Meyer told AP.
Though she's attracted to complicated relationships, that conflict probably won't surface in the sequel she's writing.
"I feel like the `love box,' as it is, is played out in this novel. It completely resolves into two happy places, so that won't be a focus going forward," Meyer said.

Flame Painter Gallery Flame Painter is a unique paint program, it belongs to my 'I am an Artist' experimental project. I think with tools which inspires you, everyone can be an artist. You can try it here, change different brush settings and paint your own flame paintings. When you change the background from black to white, the palette changes from additive to subtractive and the feeling of the painting is very different. It's not easy to explain all brush parameters, so I leave this for your experimentation.

text: Technical Abstract: When appraising the impact of food and fiber production systems on composition of earths atmosphere, the entire suite of greenhouse gases [carbon dioxide (CO2) methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O)] needs to be considered. Storage of atmospheric CO2 into stable organic fractions in the soil can sequester CO2 while normal crop production practices generate N2O and decrease the soil sink for atmospheric CH4 in upland soils. The overall balance between the net exchange of these gases constitutes the net global warming potential (GWP) of a crop production system. In upland cropping systems changes in soil organic matter content, the CO2 emitted from fertilizer production, transport and application, and N2O emissions are the major components of net GWP. Managing upland agricultural systems to optimize soil C storage and minimize N2O can have a significant impact on the future atmospheric radiative forcing resulting from CO2 and N2O in the atmosphere as well as sustainable intensive crop production. Soil C levels have been increased by reducing tillage intensity, increasing intensity of crop rotations, and with N fertilization. Nitrogen fertilization is essential to maintaining crop yields and economic sustainability, but excessive N application increases N2O emissions which can more than offset gains in C storage. If we are to develop crop management systems that will decrease net GWP in the future, these systems will also need to maintain crop production and improve soil quality. The effect of management options that are currently available, such as tillage, control release fertilizers and nitrification inhibitors on N2O emissions and net GWP are discussed.

Letter to the Editor: Dobbyn Endorses Congressman Jim Moran
Community member says Congressman Moran fights for the Mount Vernon District.
(Editor's Note: Jack Dobbyn is the co-chair of the Mount Vernon Democratic Committee and was a candidate for Delegate for Virginia's 42nd District in last year's election.)
To Whom It May Concern,
As someone who is active in the community and the Democratic candidate for Delegate from Virginia's 42nd district in last year's election, I offer my enthusiastic endorsement of Congressman Jim Moran in the Democratic Primary on June 12.
In his many years of public service, Congressman Moran has shown that he shares our values and fights for our community. As a senior member of the Defense Appropriation Sub-Committee, he is in a unique position to help our community thrive. He secured $180 million to widen Route 1 through Fort Belvoir and mitigate traffic cause by BRAC relocations. It was Congressman Moran's fast action in securing $20 million in additional funding for improvements to the area around the Mark Center that staved off a potentially nightmarish traffic situation
Always a friend of federal workers, Congressman Moran knows that the economic stability of Northern Virginia is tied to the health of our Federal Workforce and the private businesses that flock to do business here.
As a progressive champion Congressman Moran has been recognized many times for his work in advocacy for human rights, the abolishment of animal cruelty and as an environmental steward. He understands that in an economic downturn it is the worst time to cut the social safety net on our hard working Americans. He is one of Congress' fiercest warriors against Tea Party extremism.
As a result of congressional redistricting many more citizens in Southern Fairfax County are now part of the 8th Congressional District. If you vote at Waynewood Elementary, Stratford Landing Elementary, Washington Mill Elementary, Gunston Elementary, Lorton Library, Lorton Station Elementary, Grace Bible Church, Saratoga Elementary, Woodley Hills Elementary or Riverside Elementary, you are now in the 8th district.
I urge you to get out and vote for Congressman Moran on June 12.
Jack Dobbyn
The author is a lifelong Mount Vernon resident and was the 2011 Democratic candidate for Virginia's 42nd House of Delegates seat.
Mary Paden
11:00 pm on Monday, June 11, 2012
I wholeheartedly support Jack Dobbyn's endorsement of Jim Moran as our Congressman in the June 12 primary. Jim has worked tirelessly to support issues and programs to benefit the Mount Vernon community: he helped us keep our Mt Vernon Hospital; he fights for better transportation for BRAC realignment; he is trying to get funding for Dyke Marsh restoration, plus he votes right on the big issues. We are lucky to have him. Don't let today go by without casting a vote for Jim Moran!
Mary Paden, Bucknell Manor

Come on people. If you are new to Morans district do some research on his lack of ethics (Insider trading on inside information on the economic collapse in 2008) and making his friends rich for campaign donationas (PMA anyone?) --- And if he does so much, how come it took 7 years+ to get any money for BRAC. He is ineffective, unethical, Antisemitic, and a complete A hole to boot. Time to retire this guy!

I don't understand how your comments are in any way helpful to any meaningful discussion. Name-calling is just poor behavior. If you have something to say, include some actual facts rather than just your opinion. And you know what they say about opinions.
Scott B
11:29 am on Tuesday, June 12, 2012
Fact --- Jim Moran left a private members meeting with Sec. Paulson where he laid out the deep financial issues and trouble that was ahead (BEFORE the MARKET CRASH) --- and THEN went and sold 90+ stocks the next day -- to avoid the market chrash that came. If he was a memebr of a corporation and not congress he would be in prison, b/c it is insider trading -- Congress did not have a law then so he skates....
Scott B
11:32 am on Tuesday, June 12, 2012
FACT - Jim Moron took hundreds of thousands of political donation dollars from PMA employees -- and turned around and gave them tens of millions in earmarked funds. The same PMA that was indicted for pay to play. Specifically Moran helped direct $137 million in earmarks to PMA's clients. PMA's and their clients donated $997,348 to Moran over the past ten years. Again not name calling, but facts are tough to avoid. He is unethical at best, and should be in jail. Time to go.
1:15 pm on Sunday, June 17, 2012
Tea Party "extremism" came into being to combat the far left "progressive" extremism. Let's get back to our Constitution and shrink our federal government back to what it was meant to be. It's because Moran is a "friend of federal workers" that we shouldn't vote for him. Public service employees should not be unionized. The federal government is overblown, inefficient, overcompensated, overprotected, and is drowning in a sea of never-ending regulations. Progressives love this. The tea party wants to get the government back to working for us. The progressives want complete federal government control of every single thing we do and think.

Sylvie Guillem / Robert Lepage / Russell Maliphant — Eonnagata
Due to phenomenal demand for tickets during its world premiere season at Sadler's Wells earlier in 2009, Eonnagata returns for a limited run.
This brand new Sadler's Wells production brings together three of the world's foremost creative minds: internationally acclaimed dancer Sylvie Guillem, world-renowned theatre-maker Robert Lepage and award-winning choreographer Russell Maliphant.
Eonnagata tells the story of the Chevalier d'Éon, Charles de Beaumont - diplomat, writer, swordsman and a member of the King's Secret, a network of spies under the control of Louis XV. De Beaumont was perhaps the first spy to use transvestitism in the furtherance of his duties and until the day he died his true gender was a source of constant speculation, even provoking public bets in the late 18th century.
- "The alchemist of modern imagistic theatre, Robert Lepage is one of the most challenging and chimeric directors of our time"
For this remarkable collaboration, Guillem, Lepage and Maliphant draw not only from their respective backgrounds, but also from the ancient Kabuki technique of Onnegata - in which male actors portray female roles in an extremely stylised fashion.
The elaborate costumes of Louis XV's court will be evoked by legendary fashion designer Alexander McQueen, complemented by stunning lighting from Michael Hulls.
A Sadler's Wells Production presented in association with
Ex Machina & Sylvie Guillem

Felt 2011 Bikes |
Featured Product: Edict LTD |
Edict Pro | Q620 |
Nine Elite | Nine Trail |
Nine Sport | Virtue Team |
Virtue Sport | Virtue Expert |
At Felt, our mission is simple: To design, develop, and deliver the best bicycles in the world. Period. Our roots go back more than 20 years, to the man whose name appears on the downtube. It all started in the late 1980's when Jim Felt, an ace motocross mechanic at the time, designed and built a triathlon bike for motocross star Johnny O'Mara. Johnny was competing in triathlons for training and asked Jim to build him a new tri bike. The first Felt bike was a revelation. A competitive age group triathlete himself, Jim had a distinct vision of how he could improve on the current designs. He took great care to optimize the rider's position for aerodynamics. Johnny started winning, and before long, Jim was building bikes for many of the world's top triathletes. Since then, the Felt brand has grown well beyond its racing roots, but the guiding principle remains the same. Every Felt bike – road or off-road, high end performance to entry level recreation-is meant to make the cycling experience the best it can be. Whether climbing the steepest peaks of the Tour de France, bombing singletrack trails, racing a first triathlon or commuting to work, each promises uncompromised performance, comfort, and efficiency. Ten years after he built that first triathlon bike, Jim wanted to expand and make his bikes available to more riders. Enter Bill Duehring and Michael Muellmann. Bill, a bike industry veteran, wanted to be a part of a company that could capitalize on his years of product development experience and strong relationships with suppliers all over the world. Michael owned a successful distribution company in Europe. It was easy for the three to agree on a direction because they had the same goal: a bicycle brand dedicated to quality and technology. Jim brought a name, design experience and athlete relationships. Bill had broad-based product development knowledge and vendor connections. Michael had the experience in distribution. |

Creating Bibliographies with askSam and Citation
By Phil Schnyder, askSam CEO
Citation is an amazing tool for recording and formatting bibliographical information. But many askSam users prefer the flexibility of askSam for keeping their notes, research, and bibliographical information. That's why we created the new askSam/Citation Template which gives you the best of both worlds.
The new askSam/Citation Template lets you record, search, and organize bibliographic and legal information in askSam, and then export and automatically format references using Citation.
Search and Organize References and Sources with askSam
The askSam/Citation Template provides researchers and academic writers with a system for entering, searching, and organizing references and notes. Whether you gather information from books, articles, Web pages, legal sources, journals, or reports, the askSam/Citation Template has entry forms for these different types of information. Each entry form allows you to enter bibliographic information as well as notes.
The Template includes forms for the following types of sources:
Articles in Journals (extended form)
Articles in Popular Periodicals
Books (extended form)
Chapters or Articles in Edited Books
Internet: WWW Journals or magazine articles
Internet: WWW Pages
Legal: Cases, Reporters
Legal: Constitutions
Legal: Ordinances
Legal: Practitioner documents
Legal: Rules of Court, Procedure, Evidence, Ethics
Legal: Slip or Session Laws
Legal: Statutes, Codes (Basic)
Legislative (Bills/Resolutions)
Legislative (Debates)
Legislative (Federal Documents, Reports, Comm. Prints)
Papers Presented at Conferences
Patents (U.S.)
Personal Communications
Public and Historic Documents
Reports (extended)
Unpublished Papers
Formatting Bibliographies, Reading Lists, and Cites with Citation
Once you've entered your information into askSam, it's easy to transfer the information and format it with Citation. A report in the askSam/Citation Template will export your information to a Citation Data File. Open this in Citation and you'll be able to generate citations in any style you need - MLA, Blue Book, APA, ALWD, and over 1,000 more.
If you need to prepare your paper with references in a different style, you can reformat the citations by rerunning Citation. It's that easy.
Using the askSam Citation Template
1. Click here to download the askSam/Citation Template and copy it to your askSam Template directory (by default, this will be \program files\askSam\askSam5\templates).
2. Create a new askSam file for your information. Choose FILE - NEW and select the askSam Citation Template, and choose the CREATE button.
The SAVE NEW FILE dialog will appear.
3. Enter a name for your file and choose the SAVE button.
Adding a bibliographic entry with the askSam/Citation Template
1. To add an entry, choose DOCUMENT - ADD ENTRY FORM (or click the ADD BIBLIOGRAPHIC ENTRY link).
The ADD ENTRY FORM dialog will appear.
2. Select the appropriate form for the type of source work, and enter the bibliographic information..
If you have any questions as to how to fill out the fields, the Citation On-Line Style Guide has a description of what each field should contain. The fields in the askSam Entry Forms correspond to the fields used in Citation. You can add notes and other information to your documents (in the notes field). askSam also allows you to attach or link to other files.
Note: These notes, attached files, and links are not transferred to Citation - but you will not need these to generate citations and bibliographies.
You'll enter, search, and organize your information in askSam. When you are ready to format your bibliography or insert cites in your document, follow these simple instructions:
Exporting the information to Citation for formatting
1. Choose FILE - EXPORT - REPORT
The RUN REPORT dialog will appear.
2. Select the EXPORT TO CITATION report and choose the RUN button
The EXPORT dialog will appear.
3. Choose the folder where you want to have the Citation Data File and enter a name for the file (including the .CIT extension. For example Bibliography.Cit).
4. Choose the SAVE button.
askSam will export the entire file to a Citation data file with the name you enter.
Writing a formatted list of references with Citation
1. Start your word processor, and then start Citation.
2. Click FILE - OPEN DATAFILE and select the file you just exported from askSam.
3. Click Generate, Bibliography for datafile. Citation will display a dialog asking you to select the style for the bibliography:
4 Use the drop list to select the publishing style format for the bibliography, and then click OK. Citation will write the bibliography to your word processing document.
Using the Preview box for footnotes
If you are working with short papers or legal documents, you'll want to be able to format references for footnotes. It is easy to do this with Citation, simply:
1 Open the paper or brief, and then start Citation and open your datafile.
2 Click View, Preview box to display the current record as a formatted citation.
To change the style for the citations, just click the Style option and choose another style.
3 In your word processor, insert a footnote.
4 On the Citation Preview box, click Insert. Citation will insert the formatted citation into the footnote.
To download the askSam/Citation template mentioned in this article, go to:
http://www.asksam.com/four/surf34/citationtemplate.asp .
We recommend making modifications in your askSam database and re-exporting to Citation when you are ready to generate cites and bibliographies (rather than updating using Citation). We do not currently have any facilities to transfer the information back from Citation into askSam.
We'll be working on further integration in the future. In the meantime, we hope you'll find this useful. We look forward to your feedback.

Why The Video Looks Shaky (Don Ward)

I honestly cant even begin to describe how much fun we had in Vegas and its all thanks to Brett and the guys with Vegas Hotspots. They truly made our batchelorette party unforgettable, the pole dancing class was great, the instructor was awesome! Sapphires was a great place to let loose not to mention the male review which was pretty incredible. We were totally given the VIP experience and loved every minute of it! There was never a dull moment I only wish we had more time to spend enjoying ourselves and the clubs. Thanks again to Brett, Rich and Severn for making our trip totally amazing!

Did VegasHotSpots.com exceed my expectations? Yes, me and my three brothers where heading to Vegas for a bachelor party. This was my second time in the city and their first, so needless to say we weren`t to familiar with the land. That`s why I contacted VHS. I talked to Rich over the phone and drafted a basic plan for our trip. When we arrived we went straight for the pool and spent all day there. When the time came to go out we where met by a stretch cadilac in front of our hotel that transported us to the Wynn hotel where we had reservations for a table at the Tryst nightclub. Once we arrived Rich met us out front of the club and walked us right passed the long line to get in. When we stepped into the club it was like being transported across the world. The roof was high and painted a dark blue to give it the impression of a night sky. In the center of the room was a large pool being fed by a cascading waterfall that appeared to rise through the ceiling. Throughout the club there where booths and tables all with outdoor accents to give the impressions of sitting out doors. When we entered Rich lead us straight through the club to our table (right next to the water) where beautiful women arrived with both a bottle of Grey Goose vodka and a bottle of Vueve champaign. They then poured our drinks and left us to our livations. Unfortunantly after that I started pouring my own drinks and it gets pretty fuzzy after that, but I can tell you the club was both beautiful and packed with gorgeous women. As a SIDE NOTE I WOULDN`T SKIP OUT ON THE BOTTLE SERVICE it is way to cool to be chilling at your table with a bottle pouring drinks for girls. Now if your planing a bachelor party or just want to hit a strip club you HAVE to go to SAPPHIRE. We went out to Sapphire on our third and final night. Rich got us in for free, arranged our limo service and got our first round of drinks comped. When we got there I decided to get a bottle again, and we where lead to our table. Now before I describe the club I would like to say that even though I loved the Tryst nightclub and how amazing it was I wish we had made Sapphire the main event. It was insane we had a table near the wall but could easily see the stage, not that we cared or where paying any attention to it at all. Behind the stage was a large television playing nonstop music videos, and just for clarification look at the largest wall in your house, this TV was bigger (and the thing was HD we could see it clear as day). This all pales in comparison to the women. All you did was sit there and girls would just continue to appear next to you (and on you). I don`t know if you like variety as much as I do, but these girls came from everywhere. Just of the top of my head I got dances from girls from the Dominican Rebublic, Cezch Rebublic, california and South Korea. Those are just the ones I remember from before my drinks started to get the best of me. So if and when I go back to Vegas I will definitely go through VHS and Sapphire will be my first stop, but I think as far as nightclubs go, after seeing Tryst I have to know what the XS at the Encore is like.

Booking with Vegas Hotspots is a must do! I worked with Severn to book this package. He was great about customizing our package to exactly what we wanted. Our host, Rich was the best thing that ever happened to us in Vegas! He was dependable, professional, fun, and easy to get a hold of. He kept us in the loop of what was going on and the hot clubs to go to. We had a true VIP experience everywhere we went and had a blast. I need to rest up for a week and then I`m ready to go back with VHS!

I cannot tell you how amazing our experience was with VHS! I submitted an inquiry and was contacted by Steve shortly after. He really listened to what we were looking for and came back with an unbelievable package. We were not only in touch before we landed in vegas but while we were there to ensure everything ran smoothly. Planning a bachelorette party for 9 girls is no easy task but they made the experience enjoyable. Rich was our host for the weekend, and I was truly blown away. He met us before our first night out and took us up to the venue. He was so attentive to all of our needs. VHS went ABOVE AND BEYOND to make this the best weekend. I would reccomend them to anyone and everyone.Thank you so much for an unforgettable weekend!!

Come work for the global leader in unified information security. Go
We are implementing Hosted Web Security, and installed Web End point on user PCs to enforce browser to go through Host Web Security.
My question is that, is there any way I define HWS or set up Web End Point in such a way that if user access from unknown (not defined) proxy address, then give full access to the INTERNET.
Because we don't want to restrict the Internet access to the users(laptop users) when they access from out of the office network(from home or whatever place).
What happens is that, when laptop users access to the Internet from out of office network, HWS ask them to authenticate( to log-in), once they logged in using email addr and password, same company defined policy applies to them and they can't access to the every site, which we don't want it happen to them.
I'm sorry I don't have any experience with hosted installs, but I'm curious as to why would you want to do that? If anything wouldn't you MORE want them restricted when they're not in the office because now they're no longer protected by your firewall, IDS/IPS, etc? You have no idea the security of the network they're on or what else is there. If they get infected outside of the office because you disabled filtering they'll just bring it onto your network later and possibly spread.
It's kind of like saying you want to use protection with your wife but not with the girls you pick up at bars on the weekends when she's out of town...
At the moment you cannot do differentiated policies for the same user - one policy for off-network, a separate policy for on-network. My understanding is that this functionality is in development.
I would concur with Glitch that you do NOT want to have a completely open policy - even for off-network. I'm quite certain you'd want to block access to sites in the security categories (e.g., botnetworks, keyloggers, malicious web sites, dynamic DNS, etc.). However, I can see why you might want to open things up a bit (e.g., permit access to internet radio/TV or streaming media) in cases where it isn't your company's bandwidth the user is sucking up...
The reason behind is that users in office are blocked to access to the social networking sites like Facebook and Youtube.
Imagine the situation like, your employee is on vacation or on day off, but you can't block them to use their laptop and access to the social networking site, Facebook and Youtube.
I wonder what solution would you recommend for the situations like that.
You are right. It would be nice if HWS can define different policy for the same user, like on-network and off-network.
It is unreasonable to block the user to access to the bandwidth intensive or social networking sites from their home or outside of office network.
Is there any way to deal with this situation? For desktop PCs are fine, because they are not moving out of office network, The problem is with laptops.
What would I do? I wouldn't be allowing employees to use company equipment for personal use. If they want to visit those sites when they're not working then they should be using a personal computer. Company assets should only be used for company business.
That aside, if you were using a PAC file to connect them to the HWS you could configure it to work or not work depending on the source IP it was on... but Websense in general doesn't have the ability to define a different policy for a user based on their physical location. You could do it based on time of day though... but that won't account for vacation days, just off hours.
At the moment no.... The only way to do it - and trust me, you won't want to go there - is for users to have separate logon accounts for home use vs in the office use. See? I told you you wouldn't want to go there...
I'd suggest you speak with the cloud security product manager regarding this type of feature. He can advise you on what may be coming in future releases. Your account manager can put you in touch with the product manager.

Plans are in the works to add a Kane Area School District channel on the local Comcast cable television network.
Chris Niklaus, assistant technology director for the school district, and Brian Wymer, high school business and technology teacher, discussed the proposal earlier this week at a meeting of the school board's Curriculum Committee.
In his report to the committee, Niklaus said the channel would begin with a basic "storyboard." The "storyboard" would include slides, scrolling messages, photos and videos of school district activities.
Niklaus said he hopes to have the cable "storyboard" ready to be "up and running" for the start of the next school year."
Niklaus said the school district may need to spend between $10,000 and $25,000 for equipment for the proposed school district channel available only on Comcast cable-- not satellite systems such as Dish and Direct TV.
Harry Steele, a school board member and chairman of the Curriculum Committee, said he is "all for the idea and concept" of a local school channel on Comcast. However, he believes Niklaus should develop a list of "specific expenditures" and a "timeline" for putting the channel on the air.
He said he is not "comfortable" setting aside money in the next budget for the proposed cable channel until costs are solidified.
Dr. Maryann Anderson, superintendent of the school district, said she is familiar with cable school channels in other areas.
She said a school channel on the cable TV system is "extremely powerful" in informing the public about school events and announcements.
"You watch it," she said.
See full article by purchasing the March 17 edition of The Kane Republican.
Kane is a small enough community, word of mouth would be just as effective, not to mention the newspaper itself would spread the word of whatever. Informative e-mails, electronic newsletters could be just as effective, not to mention cheaper.
How many people view that channel on a regular basis? Is it one of the main media sources that people turn to for information? If there are significant numbers prove that this would be a better media outlet to use, then yes, maybe it might be a good idea. But if not, then this would be a rather pointless endeavor.
I realize the school board is trying to make the schools better with up to date equipment and whatnot, but over the last few years, I have become more and more disappointed and irritated with the decisions that the school board is making. Maybe some of this money could be put towards a playground for the elementary school kids, instead of having them bring money in rather than doing the usual small gift for Christmas. Maybe there already is a new playground that I haven't heard about, but I feel this is a waste of money that could be better spent.

These simple thrown or slip cast porcelain vessels create what I see as a blank canvas for the application of pattern and mark making. My drawings of natural forms inspire a mixture of gestural and more controlled lines. I use a subtle colour range of slips, under glazes, ceramic transfers and glaze that are also influenced by the natural world and my drawings. It is important to me that each piece I make works as a whole so I try to make the markings fit the form and become as much an integral part of the body as possible using a variety of decorating techniques. The wares I create are versatile in function whilst also decorative and can be displayed in groups or as individual pieces.
