Special Motion. Camp Ashraf in Iraq
first signatory Elisabetta Zamparutti
Considering that:
· Camp Ashraf in eastern Iraq hosts some 3,500 people belonging to the Iranian resistance. The protection of the camp was handed over in 2009 to the Al-Maliki Government of Iraq by U.S. forces. The lives of its residents is now at risk given that the Iraqi Government, under Iranian pressure, has expressed the intention to close it within this year. Such an intention was publicly announced in more than one occasion by the Iranian foreign minister Ali Akbar Salhei who reiterated his commitment to dismantle the camp by 2011 at a joint press conference with his Iraqi counterpart Hoshyar Zebari held in Baghdad on October 31;
· serious and fatal intimidating signals to that effect came on July 2009 and again on April 2011 when some armed attacks of Iraqi forces reaped dozens of victims and hundreds of injured among the helpless residents;
· on September 13, 2011, the United Nations High Commissioner requested that the ultimatum on the closure of the camp be extended so as to grant the status of political refugees to its residents on an individual basis;
· on November 29, Iraqi forces started building earthworks and erecting buildings in the vicinity of Camp Ashraf in the wake of the steps to be taken ahead of its closure, that is certainly not expected to be peaceful;
· at present, the closure of camp Ashraf is considered to be an announced tragedy. If refugees were to be dispersed in small groups, the Iraqi and Iranian forces could easily eliminate them in the general indifference. Such a concern has been further worsened after a speech of Struan Stevenson, president of the European Parliament group for relations with Iraq, who reported of a plan of the Iraqi government to transfer the camp residents in the prison of Al-Mothanna in Baghdad, where, according to recent reports, tortures and rapes are committed;
the governing bodies of the Nonviolent Radical Party, Transnational and Transparty to call on the Italian government, the international community, the European Union, the United States of America and all other bodies and competent authorities to take immediate action to defer the closure of Camp Ashraf in order to allow the UN High Commissioner for Refugees to identify residents and grant them refugee status with a view to transfer them to third countries and, in the interim period, to ensure proper international protection for camp residents.

Kickstarter projects are great at a lot of things, but meeting deadlines isn't one of them. This isn't just a Kickstarter thing. All creative projects, whether they're on Kickstarter or not, often take longer than expected. What's unique about Kickstarter is that everyone gets to see how things are made and exactly how long it takes to make them.
A research project from a Wharton professor earlier this year sparked a conversation about how long Kickstarter projects take to be completed. The research found that just 25% of surveyed projects delivered rewards by their Estimated Delivery Date. In other words, many projects were late. (The professor also found that only 3.6% of surveyed projects failed to deliver. This got much less attention.)
Occasionally art is known for how long it took to be created. Sometimes for better (the Sistine Chapel) and sometimes for worse (Guns 'N' Roses' Chinese Democracy). But with few exceptions, the amount of time a creative work takes to be made has little relevance to its audience. If anything, the longer the period of creation the higher esteem the work is held.
The focus on lateness within Kickstarter brings three problems.
First, it incentivizes creators to take shortcuts to hit their deadlines. As legendary game designer Shigeru Miyamoto recently said, "A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad."
Second, it ignores what makes Kickstarter so unique: getting to watch a project come to life. The opportunity to see how something is made and to have a hand in its creation is a special thing. If a creator turns the creative process into a story they share with backers, delays don't have to be bad news.
Third, it presumes that Kickstarter is a store. Sure, it's unacceptable for a store to ship something late. But Kickstarter is not a store. The Estimated Delivery Date is the creator's best guess at how things will go, and it's made at a very early stage in the project's life.
We at Kickstarter know quite a bit about lateness ourselves, funnily enough. Our original plans had Kickstarter launching in April 2008, but a variety of obstacles delayed the launch an entire year. Does this delay make Kickstarter a failed project? We hope not. Ultimately the creative process takes as long as it has to take.

Friendly Planet surveyed their customer for their next cruise, and the winner is …
This one is a good news that we have to share with you all. Friendly Planet, an experienced US-based tour operator surveyed 7000 people in order to identify the next tour that they'll organize for 2010, and 941 wanted to come to Madagascar, making our beautiful island the next destination for the customers of this tour operator who use to work with first class hotels.
Checking at their website, one can see how large their cruise offer is, and this Madagascar cruise tour seem to be a first for them. Let's hope this Madagascar tour will be a standard offer on their package.
Quoting Friendly planet's website
Because it is so remote, Madagascar is often overlooked as a tourist destination, but intrepid travelers are rewarded with an experience that cannot be duplicated anywhere else in the world. 150,000 species of plants and animals (including the Lemur) are found nowhere else on earth, making Madagascar is a true nature-lover's paradise. And the Malagasy population is truly one-of-a-kind as well, a beautiful blending of many distinct cultures, including African, Asian, Arabian, French, Indian, Creole and more. If vacation for you means unique and unusual then Madagascar is the place for you!
We are very excited to get so soon into this project as most of the times we are only aware of a cruise arriving in Madagascar once they arrived. This will give us another perspective-from the tour operator side who organizes such cruises, but also, from the kind of information and level of services needed from local counterparts in Madagascar. Cruise will arrive in Madagascar in 2010, though we have almost a year to get ready on the Madagascar side.
What would you suggest those cruisers to see in Madagascar? Share your views and recommendations.
In the meantime, feel free to follow Friendly Planet on twitter.

News from the world of Maths
June 20, 2012
On a rainy night last month, in an ancient hall down a hidden alleyway in the centre of London, Bernard Silverman, Chief Scientific Advisor to the Home Office, revealed a surprising secret... ancient mathematics is at the heart of a very modern game of hide and seek.

Our planet is shaped by the oceans, the dynamic geology and the changing climate. It teems with life and we, in particular, have a massive impact as we build homes, grow food, travel and feed our ever-hungry need for energy. Mathematics is vital in understanding all of these, which is why 2013 has been declared as the year for the Mathematics of Planet Earth.

If you've never heard of cubic Hamiltonian graphs before then take a look at Christopher Manning's wonderful cubic Hamiltonian graph builder. No, really, do! We too had never heard of them and now we think they are the bee's knees!
May 5, 2012
Why are we so clever? In evolutionary terms this isn't obvious: evolution tends to favour cheap solutions and the human brain is expensive. It consumes about 20% of our body's energy budget yet it only makes up 2% of our body mass. So why did it make evolutionary sense for us humans to develop powerful brains? Game theory provides a possible answer.

The Plus office has opened in Barcelona! The weather is fine, the architecture is spectacular and everyone has been very friendly. And, importantly, the food is delicious! From the welcoming dinner with the conference organisers (and a delicious glass of port), to the focaccia de xocolata from the cafe round the corner to the pigs skin tapas we tried last night!
April 25, 2012
Today sees the launch of The Aperiodical, a new maths magazine/blog aimed at people interested in mathematics who want to read stuff. Aperiodical will post news stories related to maths, opinion pieces, maths videos, feature articles, as well as blog posts. It will also publish accounts of monthly MathsJams and host the Carnival of Mathematics, a monthly blogging carnival.

What's New in Windchill Quality Solutions 10.2
Enhanced functionality for quality, reliability, risk, and compliance
PTC Windchill Quality Solutions 10.2, released in August, 2013, offers a host of new updates to support product quality, reliability, risk management, and compliance across a wide range of industries. The latest PTC Windchill Quality Solutions suite offers expanded connectivity to PTC Windchill PLM through Quality-Driven Change, enhanced enterprise-wide Global Risk Management through Web-based Fault Tree Analysis, a new solution to support the FDA's UDI regulation, updated FMEA and MSG-3 capabilities, and new support for Medical Device compliance with eMDR submissions.
Quality-Driven Change in PTC Windchill Quality Solutions 10.2 offers new capabilities to drive engineering change in the PLM system from any software module in the suite. This functionality leverages optional connectivity to a PTC Windchill PDMLink Bill of Materials and a new, centralized Problems Table in PTC Windchill Quality Solutions that can be accessed from any module to report a quality issue. As incidents are reported from across the product lifecycle, they may be associated with problems that will then be addressed through change objects introduced into the PLM system. From the common Problems Table, users can generate an ECR (Engineering Change Request), CAPA (Corrective / Preventive Action) or Problem Report in PTC Windchill that follows established workflows and processes for traceable change management.
New, Web-based fault tree analysis in PTC Windchill Quality Solutions 10.2 enables global, enterprise-wide collaboration around risk management processes – a feature mandated by industry-wide requirements like Medical Device Risk Analysis (ISO 14971), Automotive Functional Safety Analysis (ISO 26262), and Civil Aircraft Safety Analysis (ARP4761).
The new, Web-based PTC Windchill FTA offers the complete functionality of the PTC Windchill FTA (Fault Tree Analysis) module, including a full range of analytics, CAFTA converter, dashboards, graphing and reporting, data linking, build from FMEA, library support, built-in toolbar, and more – all in a lightweight, distributable web environment with a robust, intuitive interface. It enables enterprise-wide access to critical Fault Tree analysis, reporting, root cause analysis, and quality improvement functionality.
What's New in PTC Windchill Quality Solutions 10.2?
The PTC UDI Solution utilizes new PTC Windchill technology to support the FDA's UDI regulation for Unique Device Identification. This new regulation was introduced by the FDA to eliminate the misidentification of medical devices in the field as a result of hospital and supplier renumbering. In order for companies to continue selling devices across state lines, this regulation requires that every product, product version, and product variant be labeled with a unique fourteen-digit identification number. In addition, critical information about the device associated with this number must be electronically submitted to the FDA's new GUDID (Global Unique Device Identifier Database). Collecting this internal data from the myriad sources in which it resides, electronically submitting it to the FDA, and tracking responses to ensure compliance and avoid penalties will present a huge internal burden to medical device firms' personnel, resources, and technology.
The PTC UDI Solution addresses that challenge. Developed in partnership with the FDA and major medical device manufacturers, PTC UDI offers a purpose-built UDI data model to help companies manage and control critical UDI data from multiple sources throughout the organization. PTC UDI automates the collection, formatting, review, approval, and electronic communication of UDI submissions to the FDA's GUDID. It also streamlines future UDI-related activities to help companies maintain compliance following product changes, including new versions or variants; handle changes to the FDA's UDI regulation; and accommodate additional global UDI regulations from other worldwide governing bodies. Robust functionality including pre-submission data checks that use the same algorithms used by the FDA, response monitoring and flagging of rejections or exceptions, and product templates to automate electronic submission of many similar products all help companies achieve compliance as quickly and efficiently as possible, while helping them maintain compliance in the future as products – and global regulations – continue to change.
- Medical Devices: eMDR in PTC Windchill CEM
PTC Windchill CEM (Customer Experience Management) newly supports eMDR (electronic Medical Device Record) submissions to more efficiently comply with 2009 FDA requirements for electronic adverse event reporting.
What's New in PTC Windchill Quality Solutions 10.2?
- Civil Aviation: MSG-3 (Maintenance Steering Group V.3)
New PTC Windchill MSG-3 functionality expands support for the Civil Aviation standard MSG-3 (Maintenance Steering Group Version 3). In addition to the MSI (Maintenance Significant Item) analysis available in previous versions of the tool, PTC Windchill 10.2 adds functionality for the SSI (Structurally Significant Item), Zonal, and L/HIRF (Lightning / High Intensity Radiation Field) analyses also required by the standard.
Structured decision trees for each of these analysis types guide users through the selection of maintenance plans and risk mitigation activities in an easy-to-use, intuitive interface. These robust, logic-guided decision trees are dynamically connected to the tool's FMEA back-end to identify any items whose failure may result in safety, operation, economic, or structural impacts.
What's New in PTC Windchill Quality Solutions 10.2?
- PTC Windchill FTA
Updates to large fault tree display and navigation, long-running task calculation over the Web, and Enhanced calculations including support for Multiple Distributions, Monte Carlo Simulations, specialized gate and event logic in support of ISO 26262 in the Automotive industry, and enhancements to common monitors to detect latent failures across events in support of ARP 4761 in the Commercial Aerospace vertical.
- PTC Windchill FMEA
FMEA enhancements in support of risk management include a customizable risk matrix with an easy, intuitive, and flexible interface; updated user calculations; and failure modes library updates in support of ISO 26262 requirements in the automotive industry. What's more, a brand-new FMEA Actions table helps users track actions taken to address failure modes and their effects, record the results of these actions, connect them to a common problems table, and – through that connection – launch engineering change requests against system tree parts shared by both PTC Windchill FMEA and a synchronized PDMLink or MPMLink Bill of Materials.
- Across the suite
Other new features across the PTC Windchill Quality Solutions suite include updates to graphs and reports, Web enhancements, FRACAS team subtables, API enhancements, and updates to LSAR functionality.

Curious if anyone has any preferences for post-workout recovery drinks. We've been using AfterGlow. Not bad, just wondering what else is out there and what some opinions might be.

Is that code for hang-over?
I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everyone.

Double Rich Chocolate?
How much are you paying for it?
I drink a big glass of milk.
Try chocolate milk. It really helps.
I think you should consult #9, but you might have to ask him to take a break from beating the Hawkeyes.
Actually, did anyone here ever read how Michael Jordan used to drink 4 or 5 beers after games to quickly rehydrate?
Cardio or weights workout? When I do really long runs, I drink a ton of water and then eat something like a banana and some cottage cheese. When I used to lift a lot more, I drank a Optimum Nutrition whey protein shake.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. - Benjamin Franklin 1775
I huge glass of milk.
I do a lot of bicycle riding, time trials, etc. Chocolate milk is the way to go. It's a lot cheaper than the high priced recovery drinks.

Hello all,
Haley and I did another time trail this past Saturday. This one was a fairly flat 10 miler on a chip seal road. My wife got out of bed with us to come along and cheer us on. The alarm went off a 5:50.
At this race they used a chip attached to our number for timing so that was kinda cool.
There was one other tandem team there for us to race against. They were adults on a Burley Tosa w/ a carbon fork. I told Haley that we were really racing against ourselves and she knows we normally can't keep up with adult teams. So the deal was, that if we beat our previous best avg. mph of 19.15, then we would all go out for ice-cream. But, if we averaged over 20 mph then we would get Graters ice-cream. The girls really like Graters so mom was really cheering us on.
Well we came in at 28:34 for a 21.00 avg. We were very happy. The other team beat us by just 46 sec. Haley was really bummed that we didn't win anything. It's funny how much those cheap medals and trophies mean to little kids. I was really proud of her for being a good loser when she told the other team good job.
I think I could have done the turn around a little better and we kicked it up to 25 mph for the last 1000 feet. This tells me that we left alittle on the table. I don't think we could of made up 46 sec. though. I just tell Haley that these races are just for fun and that when she gets a little older, then well really terrorize these little small town TT's
Thanks for reading
P.S. On Sunday we did Haleys first Metric.

Game of life: Charlie Moore helped guide Northeastern State to NAIA title
A farewell to people with Oklahoma ties who enjoyed the game day experience:
*Former Tulsa Central football standout Charlie Moore was a tackle-turned-receiver for Northeastern State in Tahlequah. As a senior in 1958, Moore caught nine touchdown passes to help the Redmen win the NAIA championship. The 6-foot-3, 215-pounder tried out with the Oakland Raiders three times but failed to make the American Football League team's roster. He owned and operated C.L. Moore & Associates Independent Insurance in Novato, Calif. Moore remained a California resident until his death at age 75.
*Gary Dies Jr. played football and golf at U.S. Grant High School. As a freshman, he was the only golfer on the team to qualify for the Class 5A state tournament. Dies continued to golf as an adult. In September 2011, he aced No. 8 at the Earlywine South Course in Oklahoma City. The Norman native died recently, five days shy of his 39th birthday.
*Coalgate resident J.C. Ward was a rodeo stock contractor and rancher. In 2012, he was honored by the International Finals Youth Rodeo for 20 years of service; Ward provided horses and bulls for the annual summertime event since it came to Oklahoma. The World War II veteran died at age 86.
*Former state senator Jimmy Birdsong followed horse racing as a hobby. He owned Exotic Diamond, once named Quarter Horse of the Year. He was also an outdoorsman who loved to fish in remote locations and had a love for golf. Birdsong's leisure time was well earned — long before a political career. During World War II, he was a young Army soldier who survived a German sniper's crosshairs. A bullet intended for Birdsong's heart ricocheted off a Bible he carried in his breast pocket. Birdsong died recently at age 87.
*Tripp Kenworthy was an exceptional golfer for Bishop McGuinness High School. In April 1998, he tied teammate Travis Bryson and Justin Twyman of Elk City for medalist honors at a Class 3A Qualifying Tournament. Kenworthy's 74 helped the Irish tie Elk City for the team championship and advance to regionals. He earned a partial scholarship to play golf at St. Leo University in Florida. The accountant was an Edmond resident at the time of death. He was 31.
*Lindsay High School graduate Pat Ward was a two-year football letterman at Murray State Junior College in Tishomingo. He played guard for the Aggies' 1953 and '54 teams. He went on to graduate from Oklahoma State and then taught chemistry at Tulsa East Central High School from 1959 to 1987. Ward died at age 76.
*Other Oklahomans with sports backgrounds who died recently include: Shirley Ford, 77, founder of the annual Allied Arts Golf Tournament. ... Mary Frances Coggins, 86, played in tournaments locally and internationally on the World Medical Tennis Association circuit. ... Stillwater resident Lonnie Red, 62, was a drag bike racer. He once won the Top Gas championship at the annual Truett & Osborn Bike Drags in Wichita, Kan. ... Dale Brown, a trucking company owner who played basketball at Woodland High School in the 1950s. Brown, 76, continued a love for basketball as an adult, often attending state tournament games.
*Jessica Shults of Oklahoma hit her third home run of the season Thursday during a 5-0 softball win over Arizona. The homer was Shults' 57th of her career, breaking school and Big 12 records. The previous OU record-holder was Amber Flores, who had 56 over the 2007-2010 seasons. Flores had shared the old Big 12 record with Megan Gibson of Texas A&M (2005-08).
*Akela Jones and Hannah Helker, both of Oklahoma Baptist University, were chosen NAIA Indoor Track and Field Athletes of the Week after exceptional performances at the recent Nebraska Tune-Up in Lincoln.
It's the first time this season both national honorees came from the same school.
Jones, a freshman from Barbados, was chosen Field Athlete of the Week a second consecutive week, this time after setting the OBU record in the high jump at 6-feet, ¾-inches. The jump also ranks No. 1 in the NAIA. She also won the long jump at 19-2¾.
Helker, a sophomore out of Edmond North, won the 1,000- and 3,000-meter runs; she finished the 1,000 in 2 minutes, 52.11 seconds, and the 3,000 in 9:59.52. The Tune-Up included athletes from the NCAA Division I level.
*A Level 7 men's gymnastics team based in Edmond, the Tenacious Twelve, has five first-place finishes in as many meets. The team is comprised of athletes ages 11-14 in either their first, second or third year of competition. Ashton Bennett, Reece Bowler, Joshua Carona, Joey Chendra, Chase Chitwood, Dalton Farmer, Carder Gutteridge, Braxton Poe, Canon Swiggart, Jeff Walraven, Matthew Whittington and Kobe Williams are coming off a win at the Bart Conner Invitational in Oklahoma City. Next up, the state championship meet March 15-16 in Norman.

Job uncertainty stalks the nearly 500,000 foreign workers now in the UnitedStates on H-1B temporary visas. As hard-pressed employers juggle pink slips andwage cuts, they're re-evaluating their fidelity to the H-1B program.
"Utilization of the H-1B visa is certainly down -- we saw that when theydidn't meet the cap this year," says Jeff Lande, vice president for theInformation Technology Association of America. "But there are still shortfallsin the domestic labor market."
Shortfalls are exactly what the H-1B was designed to address -- securingtalent for hard-to-fill technical positions where U.S. expertise is thin on theground. It's a visa given to skilled workers qualified in fields where therearen't enough American workers, such as information technology. In recent years,the need for high-tech workers from overseas was so great that the maximumnumber of visas available each year -- 115,000 in 2000 and 107,000 in 2001 --was typically exhausted by June or July. Last year Congress voted to raise thecap to an unprecedented 195,000 visas for 2002; now some legislators are talkingabout slashing it back to 65,000 as early as next year.
But Steven Ladik, president of the American Immigration Lawyers Associationand a shareholder with Jenkens & Gilchrist in Dallas, is optimistic aboutthe program. "As attorneys, we're not expecting any changes to the H-1Bprogram," says Ladik, whose bar association represents more than 7,500attorneys and law professors who practice and teach immigration law. "Thechair of the Federal Reserve has said that foreign workers are going to helpfill important workforce needs in the coming decade, and the Bush administrationhas tacitly told the Department of Labor that it wants to ensure that H-1Bregulations being promulgated now will be 'business friendly.' That's asign that the administration recognizes that employers need access to the bestand brightest around the world. Once you are in a global economy, you can'tput a wall up and still hope to compete with other international entities."
After the 2001 terrorism attacks, employers wonder about their liability,should any of their H-1B employees be accused of connections to terrorism. "Understandard employment law, if an employee commits a criminal act unrelated to hisjob, an employer is not normally going to be liable," Ladik says. He addedthat none of the terrorists associated with the attacks held H-1B visas.
Ladik does caution employers to take extra care when H-1B staff or prospectsare traveling in or out of the United States. "Make sure they carry the properdocumentation, and that you allow for more time, because people from certaincountries are going to be subject to additional security scrutiny."
He also advises employers to consider how current export laws apply to theirH-1B workers. "Exposing an H-1B visa holder to certain types of technology --such as encryption -- can be considered 'exporting,' even if the item isknowledge and not an actual product. Having H-1Bs working in certain researchareas when you do not have an export license could be a violation." Whilethese export laws were in place well before September 11, "now is a good timeto review your vulnerability with your in-house counsel." Export-controlstatutes are voluminous, so enlist an expert eye.
Lande agrees: "In the past, the government has been somewhat loose inenforcing these export controls, but I wouldn't be surprised to see morestringent enforcement now."
H-1Bs and downsizing
H-1B workers are not authorized to stay in the country if they lose theirjobs. Visa holders may remain in the country for up to six years if they areemployed, but because they are awarded visas to perform specific jobs, once thejob is gone, the visa is gone, too. If they can afford it, visa holders who losetheir jobs are allowed to remain in the United States for a while -- the INS hasno strict requirements on how long -- to search for another employer willing tosponsor a new H-1B visa. But that's a difficult prospect in today'scontracted IT hiring market.
Handling layoffs and salary cuts worries many H-1B employers. "They areconcerned about who they can let go of, and what their obligations under theprogram are," says Lande. "The answers are pretty straightforward, but forthe past couple of years, managers have been on the other side, trying to hireforeign workers. Companies have had to quickly research all these questions."
Lynn Shotwell, legal counsel and director of government relations for theAmerican Council on International Personnel, says, "The Department of Labordoesn't offer much guidance on how H-1B workers are to be handled when acompany downsizes. But as a rule of thumb, we emphasize treating everyone fairlyand equally." Sound business practices require putting H-1B and domesticemployees on an equal footing, including selecting employees for separationthrough a system -- merit, seniority, etc. -- that makes no distinctions betweenthe two groups. "American workers shouldn't be disadvantaged; H-1B workersshouldn't be exploited. The essence of the H-1B program is a level playingfield."
Shotwell goes on to address some of employers' often-asked questions aboutdownsizing and H-1B:
- Can H-1B employees be terminated before U.S. nationals?
- "Yes. The DOL probably wouldn't have a problem with it, but again, thisis not a sound practice." Singling out H-1B workers -- who are often moreexpensive to employ than domestic professionals -- could raise red flags withthe EEOC, implying national-origin discrimination.
- What is the notification process for an H-1B holder separation?
- "The DOL has no reporting requirements, but employers should notify theImmigration and Naturalization Service that the person is no longer in theiremploy."
- Can H-1B employees take a salary cut to keep their jobs?
- "The H-1B program requires that H-1B visa holders be paid at or above theprevailing market wage for their work, and the DOL will look very closely atthis, even with an across-the-board pay cut." It's conceivable that H-1Bworkers will maintain higher salary levels than domestic workers after a paycut, because the DOL is steadfast about paying market rates. Employers that don'tcould face sanctions and can even be barred from the program for a period.
- Can employers find cost-effective hires among laid-off visa holders desperateto remain in the United States?
- "Again, the prevailing market wage issue applies. However, most H-1Bworkers were making well above these benchmarks in the recent past whenhigh-tech was booming, so employers may find they can hire them for less thisyear than last. But not less than an American."
What's in the future for H-1B? Employers that have had to lay off staffshouldn't be tempted to mothball their H-1B program, Lande advises. "I am asoptimistic as everyone else that we will see an upturn in the economy and in ITspending and R&D. The minute we really start moving into a strong recovery,we will experience the technical labor shortages we had before. Employers willeat up the domestic workforce, and the demand for foreign workers will expandonce more."

In today's culture, it's custom clothing vs. corporate clothing. You're either the CEO of Me, Inc. or a corporate minion of some other CEO. At Spreadshirt, our customized clothing, custom polo shirts, and other personalized clothing lets you be in charge of creating your personal brand by taking advantage of hot topic designs and giving them your personalized touch.
Don't pay someone else to wear their custom clothing. Develop your own line of customized clothes with Spreadshirt's T-Shirt Maker. You can upload your own designs, images, and pictures and choose from tons of products, from custom t-shirts to tank tops to athletic wear. Instead of wearing the swoosh, wear your personal clothing brand.
With custom clothing from Spreadshirt, everyone has a chance to be the next trendy brand. So don't wear someone else's idea.
Our customized clothes allow you to be a distinctive force in today's culture. Here are some ideas to help you launch Me, Inc.
Step One
Define yourself.
Who are you? What is the one thing that you are awesome at? Don't wear custom clothing that suggests anything other than who you are.
There are a lot of fake people out there who copy someone else's idea and wear these copied t-shirts instead of finding their own true voice. Define yourself and design personalized clothing that matches.
Step Two
Focus on one thing.
Don't be a jack of all trades and a master of none. Develop a clear vision of what your custom clothing message is and stick to it. All the major brands have that one thing they do really well.
Spreadshirt focuses on helping you create custom clothes to share with the world. Ask yourself: what do I want on my customized clothing? Focus on that answer.
Step Three
Take action.
Blog. Use a variety of social media sites like Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube. Set up your own free personalized clothing t-shirt shop with Spreadshirt and start creating amazing products like these hoodies.
Create quality content so that people will want to keep coming back, join your brand, and wear your personalized clothing. Engage your world.
Spreadshirt is the perfect choice to start a clothing line or making custom t-shirts. Our high quality printing, fast delivery, and amazing customer service make your personalized clothing experience simple and easy.
With Spreadshirt, it's time to stop wearing other people's custom clothing and start your own personal brand.

The attribute that is essential to Safe Practice and Safe Care is courage. It takes courage to lead; it takes courage to admit mistakes and find solutions; it takes courage to keep members foremost in our minds and never stray from the purpose of ensuring that all of ENA's courses and all of our resources are the highest quality. It takes courage to speak up, in the boardroom at our national office, and hallways of regulators and legislators in state capitals and Washington DC, but that is how Safe Practice and Safe Care will be achieved.Back to top
As a staff nurse working 12-hour shifts in the emergency department, I could never have imagined that I would be asking you to trust me to serve as Secretary/Treasurer.
Like you, I continue to experience the frustrations of increasing numbers of patients, lengths of stay, crowding, regulations, and other pressures. I want to run for the position of Secretary/Treasurer because, after serving as state secretary, president-elect and president, and after three years on the national ENA board, I believe I could do the job. I will bring the perspective of a full time staff nurse who also has a Masters Degree in Nursing Administration, with a financial component.
My goal is for ENA to continue working for the safety of emergency nurses as well as patients. I've been the Nebraska ENA's state Government Affairs chairperson for ten years and have advocated at the state house and Washington DC for increased funding of nurses and psychiatric services so our psychiatric patients do not languish in our emergency departments. I have been deeply involved in the issue of workplace violence, nationally and internationally.
Walking into legislators' and regulators offices has given me the courage to speak up, ask difficult questions, help make difficult decisions, and to say what's not easy or popular.
My goal is to make ENA the most relevant to the members we are here to serve. Membership will benefit because I would bring first hand current knowledge of emergency nursing to the table and work to keep ENA's 30 committees, Institute Advisory Councils, and task forces strong and close to real emergency practice.
I am known at work as a person with integrity. I will work to bring the wisdom and honesty of emergency staff nurses, managers, educators, CNS's, and NP's to the boardroom of ENA and the offices of state and federal regulators and legislators. I will be your vigilant advocate for the wise use of our resources on the Finance Committee and Executive Committee, to ensure that ENA continues to be the best specialty nursing association in the world.

A connection on Facebook led to a life-saving kidney transplant for a Florida woman.
The Tampa Bay Times reported that 21-year-old Hannah Craig needed a new kidney. Twenty-eight-year-old Hillary Glanzer learned about Craig's medical condition on Facebook.
IMAGES: The Most Shocking Medical Mistakes
Glanzer is a friend of one of Craig's cousins. The two had known each other as children but lost touch through the years.
When Glanzer learned Craig needed a transplant she didn't hesitate to offer her kidney.
The transplant was performed Monday at Tampa General Hospital. Both women are recovering.
Without a donor Craig would have likely had to wait years for a transplant.

There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year olds life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves Orcs. ~ John Rogers

Professional comedian Greg Warren will perform at Rice Auditorium on the Baker University campus on Monday, August 30, 2010 at 8:00 p.m. All proceeds will support the Baker University Wrestling Program.
Greg wrestled at the University of Missouri and has now made his mark as an accomplished comedian. You will find his act hilarious, entertaining, and especially fitting as he uses wrestling in many of his skits. Greg has agreed to donate his time to help a new wrestling program as long as we pay his travel costs. This is a huge gift to the program and says a lot about Greg. Check-out his website at www.gregwarrencomedy.com.
Off the Mat
Off the Mat serves as a fundraiser for the Wildcats as they continue their quest for a national championship. The goal is to raise a minimum of $10,000 for scholarships and other program needs. These funds provide opportunities for student-athletes to earn a degree from the oldest university in the state while competing in one of the oldest sports in history.
Coach Jimmy May and the Baker grapplers had an exciting inaugural season, with an undefeated dual record, qualifying ten wrestlers for the NAIA National Championship. The year culminated with the student newspaper, the Baker Orange, recognizing Coach May as the 2009-2010 "Best of the Best" in Baker athletics. Coach May and his staff are committed to winning with academic integrity, social responsibility, and competitive athletic excellence. After an exciting first season, the Wildcats are primed to move the program to the next level!
We urge you to consider making a gift to support Off the Mat with Greg Warren. Assure the best remains ahead for BU wrestling with a gift of $1,000, $500, $100, $25...every gift matters!
Again, thank you for your consideration and support. The wrestling Wildcats are destined for greatness; let's help them get there.
Date: Monday, August 30, 2010 | 8:00 p.m.
Where: Rice Auditorium at Baker University
Admission is FREE.
Donations are welcome and encouraged!!
All proceeds go to benefit Baker University Wrestling. To donate a gift, click here

The city of Tenggarong, the seat of the once powerful Kutai Kartanegara Ing Martadipura Sultanate will be the center of grand festivities as the Erau Pelas Benua Etam Festival - or Erau Festival for short - gets underway from 1-8 July 2012. The series of events will take place at 11 different locations with the opening ceremony scheduled at the Rondong Demang Stadium in the district capital of Tenggarong.
Aimed to preserve and conserve traditional arts and culture, the Erau Festival hopes to perpetuate the wisdom and values of the Kutai Kartanegara royal heritage that dates back to the 14th century. While the term "Erau" itself comes from the local word "Eroh", meaning festive. The Event is supported by the Ministry for Tourism and Creative Economy.
