Welcome to our auction for a highly collectible vanity dresser set that was made by the Fenton Art Glass in the 1940s/1950s and was decorated by Abels, Wasserberg & Company in their decorating factory! AWCO was a customer of Fenton's who purchased many Fenton blanks and created their own hand-painted embellishments/designs!AWCO's most famous line was CHARLETON that was performed with quite a few different flowers that consisted of roses, forget-me-nots, daisies and like the motif of this gorgeous set.... of PRETTY BLUE VIOLETS!!! I read that most of the Charleton Artists were mostly women and they that were trained for 18 months before they earned the title of "Charleton Artist!" Many of these people were already well-trained, established artisans from Europe and still were required to be trained & supervised for an 18 month time period! The perfume bottles and powder/trinket jar box still have their original gold labels with the following information: CHARLETON HAND DECORATED A.W.C.O. along with a pencil mark of 4607 on the perfume bottles and a pencil mark of 4608 on the jar that is a shape/blank number, the powder jar label is worn were the A.W.C.O. should be. Below each label t is the Artist's Initial "A" painted in gold. The bottles also have another initial that I think is an "I" in pink paint. I read when t were two Initials on a piece that t were two Artists involved in the painting of the item! This set is just gorgeous with a peach and pink background color that is inside the clear glass and the perfume bottles each measures 7-1/16" tall with their finial dauber stoppers in place. At the widest point of melon shaped bottle they are 3" wide and stand elegantly on a 1-7/8" wide base. The powder jar has a larger melon profile and measures 4" at the widest point, sitting on a 2-7/8" wide base. With the finial lid in place, the jar sits sweetly at 3-3/4" tall. On the INSIDE rim of the powder jar lid, t is just one little 1/8" sliver chip! Otherwise, this set is in SUPERB condition with NO OTHER ISSUES of any kind! The lower portion of the finial stoppers have ground frosted glass that meets the inside of the perfume bottle necks that are in absolutely mint condition, which is just so wonderful to have with perfume daubers! All the hand-painted decorations and gold gilt accents are in excellent condition as well! This Charleton Violets set is one of the finest you will find! Anyw you choose to use or display this lovely set, will be a romantic and elegant addition to your Vintage Glass collection and your home's decor!

Fest fave The King's Speech, currently the front-runner at Gurus o' Gold, this Saturday blew the roof off its packed Academy screening. The crowd applauded director Tom Hooper, writer David Seidler, Colin Firth, Geoffrey Rush, Helena Bonham Carter, cinematography and score. It also nabbed the most effusive reaction so far over five years of showing films at Sneak Previews--the WGA crowd clapped Hooper down the aisle as he settled in for a Q and A. The movie debuted at Telluride (here's TOH's review) followed by audience-award-winning turns at fests in Toronto and the Hamptons. Will anything slow this film's Oscar momentum? (Well, some say it gets its history wrong.) The Weinsteins open the movie November 26--and it could reboot the company.
AT: How long did it take to get this film to the big screen?
TH: The story of how this film gets made really starts in the second World War with a little boy with a dreadful stammer who used to listen to the kings' speeches on the radio, and his parents said to him, "well if the King of England can conquer his stutter, then there's hope for you." This little kid will grow up to be David Seidler. And King George VI was David Seidler's hero and inspiration, so when he became a writer he dreamed of making a film about this story. When he went to Cornell University he read the biography and started researching it. It wasn't until he read Tucker by Francis Ford Coppola in 1982 that he finally thought "now I can write this passion project," little realizing that Hollywood doesn't necessarily work like that.
So he set about researching it and began to find out about the king's speech therapist, which completely intrigued him. And he tracked down the grandson of Lionel Logue, who said he had in his attic hand-written diaries of his relationship with the King. But he said he should check with the palace first. And so a letter came back from the Palace and the Queen Mother said, "Yes" but "please, not in my lifetime, the memory of these events are still too painful."
So David waited, little realizing the Queen Mother would die 180 years later. So he finally sat down to write it in 2005. He got partway through and got quite blocked. He wanted to write it as a play as an exercise to help unblock it. The play got picked up by a tiny French theatre company in London and they did a play reading. And they were trying to find some real Australians to listen to the play and it just so happens my mother is Australian and someone reached out to her and asked her if we wanted to see the play. And it didn't sound very promising to be honest, and she almost didn't go. She went along and called me up and said, "you have to see this," and that's how it happened. So the only reason I came to that material is that I happen to be half-Australian and half-English and living in London.
AT: And you listened to your mother.
TH: And I listened to my mother. I couldn't have made the film about a dysfunctional relationship without a highly functioning relationship. So the film was very personal to me in many ways because one of the themes of my childhood growing up was my Aussie mother unpacking the effects of my father and his upbringing. My father lost his father to the war when he was three, and as a result was packed off to a full time boarding school. And my Australian mom made it very clear in my childhood that my father would be very close. So the end of the story, nine weeks before the shoot, the production tracks down the very same diaries in the grandson's aunt's attic. They are a first-hand account of the therapist and his relationship with the King, which has never been published and some of the best lines of the movie are written by King George. And to have this insight into the relationship was an incredible gift.
AT: How much are you sticking to the material and how much are you embellishing it?
TH: The diaries begin with the coronation of King George VI. And it's basically as if he's just the plain old Duke of York and Lionel had no idea who he was. So it's a huge testimony to David's imagination which managed to re-create the early stages of that relationship. And I think in the diaries the relationship between the two men is backed up. But I think the reason David wanted to do it so authentically was, as a stammering kid he got speech therapy there and in America, so the technique he's talking about he could relate to.
AT: You shoot two very different worlds, upstairs and downstairs, very differently. And why did you use a wide angle lens?
TH: You probably noticed in the film that I try to distinguish between where I shot Colin and where I shot Geoffrey. And when I was shooting Colin I was up close on his face, to focus on what's the nature of stammering. And he improvised, so I wanted to put this negative space in front. Over and over again Colin is up against the wall paper, whereas Geoffrey's frame is a very cluttered background. I ended up shooting Colin slightly wider because it brings the actor into his environment.
AT: You have two great sequences shot in the fog.
TH: Great story. My ninety-two year old neighbor, Mr. John Peck, he said to me "In the 1930s, sometimes the fog used to be so thick that the cab driver would ask you to get out of the taxi and walk six feet in front of the taxi to find the way." And that is the source of the manservant walking in front of the car finding a way. Films about the English monarchy, they tend to have a lavishness, sumptuous imagery, it's all very posh and rich. And the truth about London is that in the 1930s, during the Great Depression, it was a very hard time, very polluted and smoggy.
AT: What did you learn on Damned United and the mini-series John Adams about making films about real people, and what you could apply to this biopic?
TH: On John Adams I was always obsessed with finding truly researched images to add authenticity, out of that came something totally contemporary and modern. Research is very key to my process because over and over again, reality provides more interesting images than you could have invented. Certainly compared to modern films set in those periods. Filmmakers tend to recycle the same cliches over and over again.
AT: Now clearly this isn't just a technical tour-de-force, this is also about performance--two men facing off. Colin Firth has never given a performance this good, not even in A Single Man. What did he bring to this and why was he the right man for the role?
TH: Researching the man, he seemed to be frail but also full of humility. Colin can be very smooth, but I did feel that Colin has that incredible sweetness, he's nice, vulnerable, honest, he can't play a bad guy, he's generous. That defines him, and that's what makes him so perfect. I think the source of his performance, for both me as a director and him as an actor, was watching the real footage of a speech. It's great theatre, with the stadium crowd, and he's dying inside, and I think we managed the essence of that.
AT: What are your plans as far as the Royal Family seeing the film?
TH: What I've been told is, I'll never know if the Queen sees it or what she thinks. It's hard to say if Buckingham Palace has seen it. Proof of this, is the film The Queen --no one knows if she's watched this, the household keeps trying to protect her from these things. But do I want her to watch it? Yes.
AT: In America this story we don't know: we know about Edward and Mrs. Simpson. Does everyone know this story in England?
TH: Yes. David Seidler says he has a childhood memory. His mother would say, "Edward would give up the throne, and you won't even wash up?" Americans saw it as an incredibly romantic act of love, but I think it was an unbelievably selfish thing for Edward to do because he never consulted George, never said, "younger brother, can you do this?" The mystery of it actually is that Edward spent his life with long-term mistresses, and more than that he had a pretty colorful sexual life, in Paris and had felt no need to marry anyone. Guy Pearce suggests that it was his sexual jealousy, he needed closure, and that was where the marriage obsession came from. He didn't actually say, "this is fine, this is crazy, I'm going to back off, let's break up." It drove him crazy, the idea that this woman could step away from him.

Dulles Toll Road transfer to Airports Authority doubtful - supreme court decision
The proposed transfer of the Dulles Toll Road (DTR) from the control of Virginia DOT to the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA) is in doubt following a court victory by opponents. The state supreme court in Richmond today in a 19 page opinion overturned a lower court ruling that the transfer was protected from challenge by a doctrine of sovereign immunity.
The supreme court decision allows opponents of the transfer of the tollroad to the airport authority to continue with their case on substance.
Transfer of control of the DTR was designed to generate a revenue stream for servicing the debt needed to finance construction of a financially non-viable passenger rail line in the median of the toll road, and in a second stage, of the Dulles Greenway.
The Virginia constitution has already been held to invalidate delegation of tax and pricing powers to regional transportation bodies on the grounds that their officers are not directly elected by Virginia citizens. The Northern Virginia Transportation Authority is now having to refund charges it levied illegally.
The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority isn't even a Virginia agency - Maryland, DC and US officials have a majority - let alone a Virginia agency with the required elected officials, so it has no power under the constitution to set toll rates. That at any rate is what will be argued in court by opponents of the transfer now that sovereign immunity has been knocked down.
Plaintiffs Patrick Gray and James Nagle maintain that an executive branch agency has no constitutional authority to delegate toll setting powers to the Airports Authority. (CORRECTION 2008-06-10 17:00) This has been done in a 50 year public-public toll concession between VDOT and MWAA, and without any legislative mandate.
If as seems likely, the MWAA is denied control of the tollroad's pricing by the courts then VDOT would have to retain control and pledge money to the train line itself - difficult because politicians in the rest of the state always oppose large commitments to one region. Or it could go back to a private sector lease procurement that was started in 2004 but was abandoned in March 2006 for the problematic deal with MWAA.
Under a private toll concession toll setting powers remain with the state (VDOT) in the form of a formula for toll caps built into the concession contract. The DTR public-public concession between VDOT and MWAA seems to have crossed a constitutional line by granting full autonomy to MWAA on toll rate setting.
The case is being argued by lawyer Patrick McSweeney of McSweeney Crump Childress & Temple of Ricmond VA. McSweeney, something of a star in Virginia law, also won the court cases against NVTA.

Power upgrade guide for normally aspirated Subaru engines
We get many calls for upgrades on this model, as a guide to assist you we have created this list to save your time, guarantee your money is invested correctly and most of all give you maximum value!.
ECUCan not be reflashed or tuned for any improvement, zero value here, ECU is a old design and inherently allows no improvement.
INTERCEPTOR OPTIONUnless you have MASSIVE mods, and or a custom build engine the same applies to ECU above.ZERO VALUE
NEW ECUAs the engine is relatively high comp, there iss very little to gain here. OK if you want to invest over $3000 in a motec or similar ECU then you will get some advantages, but frankly, for this $$ you are better investing it elsewhere!
EXHAUSTEngine pipe with long secondary pipes to add torque is the only value, 5 - 15 kw and up to 50 Nm can be gained, with the correct complete design.WRX systems barely fit and only reduce back pressure and engine response with no increase in power.A free flowing exhaust from cat back will sound louder but add no power.
AIR INTAKEOther than a horrible intake noise no power here either. MRT used to supply and fit ram pod style intakes, but with technology and recent testing and on the later models these were made redundantA replacement panel filter in the std airbox will save on future servicing but give no power improvement.
ENGINE ANCILLIARIESItems such as aftermarket plug leads, high capacity discharge ignition systems etc all will ad very marginal if any improvement.
INJECTORSBigger injectors empty your wallet and add no power. Save your $$ for suspension and get some GOOD improvements.
TURBOOK if you have big bucks a turbo upgrade will add power, but really, why not just buy a WRX!To turbo the NA engine you need a minimum $7000 to do a half decent job and still its not where near like a WRXInternal engine mods are then needed for reliability.
ENGINE INTERNALOK like above if you have wads of cash, thena rebuild will give some benefits, but a rebuild will cost over $5k and then you need to choose carefully.
OTHER OPTIONSIs the car serviced correctly because often a service by a workshop who really knows subarus will be your best place for power.
SUSPENSIONcheck out the performance / suspension section for REAL gains and benefits. If I owned a NA suby, I would invest my budget in brakes and suspension as this is guaranteed BEST VALUE!more here http://mrtperformance.com.au/performance/suspension
FREE CHECKRefer the MRT vehicle service section here and take advantage of our free 78 point check to ensure your car is in top shape!

OT imposes strong restrictions on the integrity constraints. It is not permissible to nul an operation once it has been generated. This limits the applications for which OT is suitable. Eg don't use OT for reserving seats on an aeroplane. However, collaborative, decentralised management of a company's geological data would be reasonable.

Probiotics are beneficial microflora that play a critical role in maintaining good health. Healthy human intestines contain billions of both good and potentially harmful microorganisms. The good bacteria in the intestines are considered to be an integral part of normal immune system support.
Did you know that a healthy immune system begins in the gut? Without proper digestion, the body can't realize optimal health or receive the nutrients it needs for growth, repair and energy. Proper elimination is equally important, as the accumulation of toxins in the gut can clog the intestines, hamper digestion and impair overall health.
The time to think about your immune system is when you're healthy. A properly functioning immune system is the bodys foremost defense mechanism against illness, infection and disease. It's made up of many different cells that all work together to keep your body running at peak levels. When immune systems fail, life is hard.

Panasonic opens Malaysian solar plant
Keywords:solar manufacturing solar wafer HIT solar modules
"We chose Malaysia as our base because of the Malaysian government's cooperation, investment support, good infrastructure and excellent work force quality," said Panasonic Group vice-president of solar business Tetsuhiro Maeda.
The facility will be managed by Panasonic Energy Malaysia Sdn Bhd and operations are scheduled to start by December to manufacture Panasonic Heterojunction with Intrinsic Thin-layer (HIT) solar modules.
The base will manufacture solar wafers, cells and modules with an estimated annual production capacity of 300MW.
"At present, our total global production capacity is 600MW of HIT products. This new factory will increase our production capacity by 50 percent, bringing our total to 900MW," Maeda said at the groundbreaking ceremony and land lease agreement exchange on the manufacturing base with the Kedah state government.
He added that the new base will strengthen its cost competitiveness, allowing Panasonic to price the products 10% lower than its lowest priced HIT.
"The new facility will reduce cost significantly by cutting down on the processes involved. Previously, wafers are produced in one country and built into cells in Japan. The new factory will see the entire production process from wafer to modules integrated within a single base," explained Maeda.
Currently the company produces HIT cells only in Japan. Modules are manufactured at local market sites with Japan producing for its own market, Hungary for the European market and Mexico for the North American market.
There are also ingots and wafers facilities in the US.
Panasonic Asia Pacific managing director Yorihisa Shiokawa said, "This is Panasonic's first solar factory in Asia outside Japan and our first fully integrated solar manufacturing base globally, an end-to-end facility producing all parts of a solar panel including assembly."
Panasonic Energy Malaysia will export its products primarily to Japan.
The facility has various energy-saving technologies such as a holistic waste water-recycling system that will help reduce 50 percent of water usage.
While in recent years, many solar industry players have either consolidated or dropped out of business, Panasonic is confident in their product differentiation and target market.
Maeda added, "In the last two years, demand for solar panels has dropped around the world. However, demand for our HIT panels have increased globally. Thus, we believe if we have lower prices for popular HIT modules, we can increase sales.
"In addition, our HIT modules achieved the world's toplevel conversion efficiency of 23.7 percent on a laboratory level and 21.6 percent on a mass production level. We are also targeting the residential market while China-made products, which have caused a glut in the market, targets solar farms and large scale projects."
Panasonic is investing $608.39 million (RM1.84 billion) in the base which covers an area of 70,000m2 and will create 1,500 jobs.

The anointed dean of value investing, Ben Graham, used to always focus on those investment areas that were getting the least attention. According to Graham, whatever Mr. Market ignored or hated offered the greatest opportunity for finding tremendous value.
Inefficient Markets
It doesn't take a genius to understand why Graham felt this way. Stocks most favored by the market attract a lot of attention and as such are usually fully priced if not overpriced.
IN PICTURES: 7 Tools Of The Trade
Conversely, businesses that aren't doing that well, or operate in boring industries, are often frowned upon and left alone. The absence of buyers can often lead to underpriced stocks in relation to the value received. It only makes sense that just as optimism can lead to premium prices, pessimism can create discount prices. (For related reading, check out The Value Investor's Handbook.)
Due Diligence A Must
Despite the market rally, there are still some businesses and industry that are looking to get through this recession in one piece. Bear in mind, when you look for value in troubled places, most of what you will find should probably be left alone. It's your job to perform due diligence to see whether or not the business stands apart.
The following ideas are names that are struggling but seem to be doing a decent job of weathering the storm. And if they can get through to compete when the economy improves, then investors could be richly rewarded.
The dry bulk shipping industry has been hammered hard and continues to face choppy waters. But Eagle Bulk Shipping (Nasdaq:EGLE) looks intriguing. It operates mainly smaller Supramax ships that can ship a wide variety of goods like fertilizer, cement, coal and grains.(For more, check out Stock-Picking Strategies: Value Investing.)
Unlike the larger Capesize ships of DryShips (Nasdaq:DRYS) that carry only coal and iron ore, Eagle's fleet can benefit if several commodities experience a surge in demand instead of being reliant on just one or two products. And because Eagle charters its ships for years, it has revenue visibility for the next few years, increasing the likelihood that it will meet its obligations going forward. At $5.50 a share, the stock is way off its highs of $30 a few years ago.
Solid Balance Sheet
KHD Humboldt (NYSE:KHD) is an engineering company to coal and cement businesses. It helps those industries with more efficient innovative design services. It's a $10 stock with about $11 in net cash per share. The cash is not as strong as it looks - most of the cash on the balance sheet is in the form of contract awards. Still, KHD has a rock solid balance sheet ready to help the company during the next cycle. (For related reading, check out Reading The Balance Sheet.)
Industrial Bargain
Graham Corp (AMEX:GHM) is a designer of heat transfer equipment used in refineries, pharmaceutical plants, food processing plants and just about any other industrial application you can think of. The stock is at $16, with about $4.50 in net cash per share. This was a $50 stock last year before the recession. Clearly, the economy will have to fire on all cylinders for Graham to revisit this price. That won't happen anytime soon, but the strong balance sheet and a gradual recovery makes this an intriguing bet.
The Bottom Line
You can't look at these businesses today and assume future valuations based on 2007 and 2008 numbers. But the share prices have gotten so depressed in many cases that any stable improvement could send the shares higher. The market is not looking at them right now, so it may pay for you to take a look. (For more, see Battered Stocks That Bounce Back.)

SD woman sentenced in identity theft case
HURON, S.D. (AP) — A Huron woman who was charged with identity theft along with her three children has been sentenced to 1 ½ years in prison and restitution.
Police arrested Shelene Freeman and her three adult children in mid-April. Authorities say they were able to obtain personal information from others and use it to access those people's bank accounts.
KOKK radio reports that Freeman was sentenced this week after earlier pleading guilty to identity theft. Her children await sentencing in the case.

Court records said federal agents identified Jacques as a possible suspect for dealing methamphetamines, and in October of 2013 they made arrangements for undercover drug deal to catch Jacques. However, before he could meet with an undercover officer posing as a drug buyer, he was pulled over in a traffic stop.
As a result of the traffic stop, investigators seized more than 106 grams of methamphetamine. His passenger at the time of the traffic stop was Miranda Salas, and she is also his codefendant. Salas will be sentenced on July 24.
In addition to the prison time, Jacques will have to serve three years of supervised release.

Virginia speaker Howell says he "loves" concept of comprehensive tolls
The speaker of the Virginia House, William J Howell says "I love the concept of tolls" as a way of funding needed road improvements and managing congestion, calling the gasoline tax a "dinosaur." A Republican Howell made the comments in a meeting with editors and reporters of the Washington Times.
"We're talking about leasing the concession to collect the tolls on those roads," Mr. Howell said. "It can be a tough political argument to make, but it's an argument worth making because it's a sound political concept... This is just getting a present value for a future income stream. It makes a lot of sense... I think we are going to have to see a lot more tolls in Virginia."
The tolls could be modeled after what he called successful projects that have generated billions of new dollars in the midwest.
That would allow Virginia to collect user fees from the millions who traverse its roads - from the Interstate 95 corridor that is a key gateway to the Southeast to the Hampton Roads arteries that lead to the state's beaches and tourist destinations.

History lessons
A high-school reading list tells America's story
I've received over the past year many requests for a reading list of American history books for high-school students, so it's about time to take a trip down memory lane. In doing so I'll skip by three kinds of books.
First, the list does not include books written as textbooks. Some books I recommend may be a reach for high-school students, but many would rather read harder stuff by good writers than the dumbed-down texts typically assigned them. (For those who insist on an overall text, the best one I've seen is Larry Schweikart and Michael Allen's A Patriot's History of the United States.)
Second, I've left out books whose authors assume greater knowledge than we have of why specific events happened in particular ways. All history is providential in the sense that God the master novelist intricately weaves together billions of subplots, but unless the Bible gives us the reason for a particular occurrence we can't state that cause as certain.
Third, the list includes none of the wonderful, terrific, extraordinary history books that I've written; students will just have to let their fingers do the clicking to online venues. [Editor: Noble of you to be self-sacrificing in this way. Me: Yes, and humble, too.]
I'll start with a book that's now on bestseller lists: David McCullough's 1776. Mr. McCullough writes history the way it ought to be written, with graceful prose, a dramatic narrative thread, and a focus on individuals. Examining the ups and downs of Revolutionary War battles, Mr. McCullough emphasizes the way that "circumstances-fate, luck, Providence, the hand of God, as would be said so often-intervened," and doesn't wave away the clouds of mystery that make history so fascinating. Burke Davis's The Campaign That Won America tells a good story about the end of the war.
To have students understand early 19th-century America, I'd have them read Stephen Ambrose's Undaunted Courage about exploration, and extended excerpts from Alexis de Tocqueville's Democracy in America, which is really a romance: Alexis loves America of the 1830s and describes happily his beloved's face, form, and character, particularly noting the role of churches and informal social institutions.
Next on my reading list comes the American Iliad, Shelby Foote's three-volume The Civil War. The books are long but they read like riveting novels, filled with strong characters, mighty exploits, and abysmal failures. (My two oldest sons at age 12 or so each received a Roger Clemens rookie card for reading all 2,700 pages or so, and I like to think that reading them contributed to the straightforward and manly prose style each has developed.) To understand one aspect of the postwar situation, Booker T. Washington's autobiography, Up from Slavery, is a good read.
The chapters about the United States in Paul Johnson's Modern Times are a good overview of most of the 20th century. (Mr. Johnson also has written a readable overall book, A History of the American People, but the necessity to cover everything leaves it plodding at times.) The move away from Orthodox Christianity during the 20th century's first half affected every part of American culture, and J. Gresham Machen's Christianity and Liberalism shows cogently the lines of the divide during the 1920s and thereafter.
High-schoolers now have trouble understanding the 45-year Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union that ended in American victory, so I'd suggest that they read the first 85 pages of Whittaker Chambers's Witness (1952), which lays out the stakes. Peggy Noonan's When Character Was King, a biography of Ronald Reagan, and William F. Buckley's The Fall of the Berlin Wall, explain the crucial figure and the signal event of the victory.
It's vital to understand American perseverance during that era if we are to persevere in the war against terrorism. Ms. Noonan's A Heart, a Cross, and a Flag chronicles well the beginning of our new war, and Karl Zinsmeister vividly shows the undermining of a regime that harbored terrorists in Boots on the Ground and Dawn Over Baghdad. In the meantime, the domestic cultural war continues: Robert Shogan's War Without End is a useful overview of it since the 1960s.

The results of a federally-funded study [1]of 1,364 children about the impact of day care were scrutinized over the past week as the media promoted a "day care is bad" storyline. Some media outlets highlighted the negative effects found in the study, released by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, while downplaying the positive, even though the study's authors said the differences they between children were slight.
Here's how the Wall Street Journal [2] began its story: "The long-running debate over the merits of day care for children is getting a new jolt of evidence that may worry working parents."
The New York Times [3], under the headline "Poor Behavior Is Linked to Time in Day Care," highlighted the negative: "A much-anticipated report from the largest and longest-running study of American child care has found that keeping a preschooler in a day care center for a year or more increased the likelihood that the child would become disruptive in class - and that the effect persisted through the sixth grade."
Meanwhile, MSNBC [4], which also led with the behavioral problems, mentioned the positive finding in the second paragraph: That children in high-quality care before kindergarten "had better vocabulary scores in fifth grade than did youngsters who received lower-quality care."
The CliffsNotes version of the Study: The good: Higher vocabulary in fifth grade if the day care's high quality. The bad: Disruptive classroom behavior is more likely if the child spent a lot time in a day care center. But one of the study's authors told MSNBC that "both the negative and the positive effects were subtle." Researchers added in the Wall Street Journal article: "The quality of parenting children receive is a far stronger and more consistent predictor of achievement and social functioning." (March 2007)

Barron met that afternoon with chief nurse executive Laurie Rogers-Eberst,employment manager Jean Close, vice president of business development andplanning Jaynie Boren, and vice president of marketing Kimberly HillhouseVandenBosch. They recall clearly their first thought after leaving Barron'soffice: Work together.
"It was a real 'best practices' kind of thing," says Boren. "We satdown and worked through how we could combine our resources and expertise in thebest possible way." The quest for nurses would be more than a standardrecruitment campaign. It would re-brand the hospital, putting it back on thecommunity's radar screens.
Not HR-centric
For the first time in recent history, St. Bernardine's recruiting would notbe handled exclusively by human resources. Barron says the hospital asked itsparent company, Catholic Healthcare West (CHW), if it could forgo that route andintegrate marketing and nursing into the recruitment process. "CHW generallywants you to use the company [HR] approach, but we had a better idea and theylet us go with it," says Barron. "It cost more, but it was much moreeffective than other recruitment campaigns." In fact, it was a stunningsuccess--in 89 days the hospital had reached its goal. By the time the 100th dayrolled around, 124 nurses had been hired.
Veering away from the corporate recipe for recruitment was a big step for CHW,which owns 42 hospitals across three western states. St. Bernardine is thelargest hospital in the so-called Inland Empire, which includes the counties ofSan Bernardino and Riverside, southeast of Los Angeles. Barron--who at 27 wasalready a hospital president at St. Luke's in Spokane, Washington--has workedin administration for 23 years, the last three at St. Bernardine. He sayshospitals usually divide up the way they advertise, with marketing andrecruiting separate. When they want to market their hospital services, they runads for that. When they want to find employees, they run "image ads" withphotos of hospital buildings or equipment, followed by classified ads foremployees in newspapers and trade magazines.
"Hospitals spend a lot of money on this kind of advertising and it isn'tvery effective, so this time we combined all three goals--image, product line,and recruitment--into one campaign," says Barron. "Rather than creating animage around a building or a piece of high-tech equipment, we wanted to build itaround our people."
To that end, says Boren--the business-development veep--the team felt itwould be most effective to use St. Bernardine's own employees in the ads,photographed outside their nursing jobs. "We did some research and found thatnurses were tired of seeing the same pictures of scrubs and stethoscopes," shesays. "They know what they look like. But to see their counterparts livinglife and achieving balance--that really brought it home to them."
Money isn't the answer
Hospital president Barron chose not touse promises of high-paying jobs to recruit employees. He wanted to avoid aprice war with competitors. The goal was to attract employees by being a betteremployer and having a more attractive work environment. "Just paying the mostisn't going to keep employees," he says. "The money was better investedthis way."
The campaign boiled down to the slogan "We Live Life and Save Life EveryDay," and 15 employees--half of them nurses--were photographed enjoyingactivities outside work: skiing, fixing cars, biking, dancing. Huge bannersdepicting these employees were hung around the hospital and in the parking lot;a calendar was also created.
In addition to those 15 employees, eight more were used in ongoing localradio spots called Medical Minutes. These employees hail from variousspecialties and give advice and information about specific health problems. Atthe end of the spot, a phone number is provided where listeners can get moreinformation or schedule an appointment.
Rogers-Eberst says Medical Minutes came about after employees who weren'tpart of the campaign came to her and asked to get involved. "Our employeesowned this campaign, and they were excited about it," she says.
That excitement among staff boosted morale and increased retention, bothsecondary goals of the campaign. "This integration with marketing, nursing,and HR has been a huge success," says Rogers-Eberst. "We take the bannersand calendars to job fairs and specialty conferences and get a great response."Inquiries from those interested in applying for jobs with the hospital are up 31percent since the program got under way.
Beating the competition
Turnover for nurses, which stands nationally at 20 percent,is down to between 16 and 18 percent at St. Bernardine. Before the campaign itwas 20 to 22 percent, says Rogers-Eberst.
Steven Barron was pleased by the results, but not surprised. He had decidedwhen he came here three years ago that to gain market share, the hospital wouldhave to use its strategic advantage in HR. "The hospital that hired enoughtrained, motivated staff would be the one to gain market share," he says. "Luckily,our competitors haven't been able to do it as successfully as we have."

text: Posted 10 Apr 2013 I think unless someone falls....I think Carolina is going to draft Hopkins if he is there. Seems to be the best "fit" in Carolina over some of the other WRs. Fit matters. Cam Luke Hopkins....let'ss see if I can make it 3 in a row. one thing that goes unnoticed with Hopkins as far as fit is he played with a moblie QB who could buy time in pocket such as Cam. so he has experience with keeping routes going or finding different spots on the field so his QB can find him,which other WRs on this team struggled with last year. I been on the Allen train since last April, but im thinking more and more that Hopkins is just the better fit here. I like both of your guys views and mostly agree with them but I am perplexed that you guys think Hopkins is a better fit. I have watched every snap available online for both players and don't see Hopkins being better at anything other than getting behind defenses more often and his health. Is it just the speed difference? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Release from the Valdosta Police Department:
After a two-week investigation by the Valdosta Police Department Property Crimes Unit, Detectives June Bidwell and June Owens have filed charges on James Woodruff, originally from the State of Wisconsin. Detectives began investigating cases earlier in December regarding multiple reports of forged checks where Woodruff opened bank accounts in other person's names and passed forged checks in Valdosta. Bidwell and Owens also determined that Woodruff stole a vehicle from Lee Auto Sales in Valdosta and attempted to trade the vehicle in Panama City, Florida. After obtaining arrest warrants and issuing a multi-state lookout, Panama City Police contacted the Valdosta Police Department and advised that Woodruff was in-custody on warrants obtained by Bidwell and Owens. Bidwell and Owens responded to Panama City to interview Woodruff and obtained a confession from Woodruff. Both detectives also obtained evidence to link Woodruff to crimes in Wisconsin, Illinois, Arkansas, South Carolina, and multiple cities in Georgia and Florida. The police department is now working closely with those states and cities regarding investigating crimes in those jurisdictions.
"This has been a significant arrest of an offender who has been committing crimes all across the country. Since beginning the investigation, Detectives Bidwell and Owens helped recover over $30,000 in stolen property and funds. It should also be noted that this case was able to be solved because of the cooperation and help of law enforcement in multiple states and throughout the State of Georgia. It was a tremendous team effort" stated Commander Brian Childress
Anyone having any further information regarding this crime or any other crime is urged to contact the Valdosta Police Department at 229-293-3145 or can remain anonymous at 229-293-3091.

Legal Briefings: For Severance Pay, Companies Have to Pay Taxes
Employers paying terminated employees under a severance plan may be required to pay and withhold FICA taxes.
Quality Stores Inc. made severance payments to employees who were involuntarily terminated as part of its Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Quality Stores paid and withheld taxes required under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act, or FICA, but later sought a refund from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service on behalf of itself and about 1,850 employees believing that the payments should not have been taxed as wages under FICA.
When the IRS neither allowed nor denied the refund, Quality Stores initiated proceedings in bankruptcy court, which allowed the refund and held the payments were not taxable as wages. Both the federal district court and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit affirmed the decision.
The Supreme Court reversed and held that severance payments were taxable because FICA's definition of wages includes "severance payments made to terminated employees." United States v. Quality Stores Inc., U.S., No. 12-1408 (March 25, 2014).
IMPACT: Employers paying terminated employees under a severance plan may be required to pay and withhold FICA taxes.

450D & 580EX II off 12V battery
Two questions:
What adaptors and cables would I need to connect two Canon 580EX II flashes to a 450D. The two flashes must both be controlled by the 450D.
Is it possible to run the above arrangement off a 12V car battery? It is at a remote site with only 12V available. If possible, how do I go about this?

I felt that Super Troopers was so fantastic, that I personally owed it to the cast of Drunken Lizard to go and see Club Dread. This movie makes up for that.
Every nihilistic beer drinking game from my misspent youth is relived in exact detail (weird).
"Beerfest" is so bad, you'll have to get drunk just to watch this movie. A group of American trevel to Germany to challenge the Germans in a game of drinking games. There is nothing funny about this movie. They probaby made this movie as a filler for the Comedy Central cable channel.
