An iSafe Backpack with Built-In Alarm can quickly alert all nearby people in the event a user ever finds themselves in danger from a bully, potential predator or injury. Located on the shoulder strap is an activation pin that when pulled will emit a loud alarm sounded by two 125 decibel sirens with flashing LED strobe light that can be seen from up to 400 yards away. The activation pin sits beneath a Velcro strap to prevent it from being triggered accidentally. To turn the alarm off the user must simply reinsert the pin back into its socket to deactivate it. The iSafe personal security backpack is powered by two 9V batteries (sold separately) and iSafe recommends they be changed roughly every 4 months to ensure the alarm will always work when it is needed. The alarm can run for up to 2 continuous hours with new batteries and will alert the owner when its battery power is running low by flashing a low battery indicator light. The low battery indicator light is located next to the flashing strobe light at the base of the backpack. iSafe recommends testing the alarm at home before going out in public if the backpack has not been used for more than a few weeks.
This school backpack is designed for use by ages 8+ and provides an added sense of security for a parent with a child that walks/bikes home from school or even a college student who typically is on campus in the evening. If the backpack will be used by a child it is important to ensure the child uses the backpack responsibly and understands that it is not a toy. The alarm is designed to sound in opposite directions of the user's ears so that it will not damage them. The Backpack with Built-In Alarm has a foam padded back to provide added comfort while worn and reflectors on the shoulder straps for visibility at night. The shoulder straps are S-Shaped and ergonomically designed for comfort. It has multiple pockets to hold all of a user's school accessories and gadgets as well as a large main compartment for books, binders, etc.
This product is also available in the following colors, each sold separately:
The iSafe Backpack is water and shock resistant, though it should not be submerged in water as doing this can ruin it. To prevent the alarm and strobe light from damage it is important to ensure that the backpack is not thrown on the ground, jumped on or sat on. It is designed to be able to pass through airport security however, due to the heightened security measures at airports it may take longer to do so. If traveling with this backpack additional time should be allotted to account for this until iSafe technology becomes more familiar to TSA personnel. The alarm system and batteries will only add an additional 1/2 lb to the backpack's weight.

text: September 2, 2014 at 11:22 AM Sheep moved to protect them from wolves Posted by Nick Provenza SPOKANE (AP) — A Stevens County sheep rancher has moved about 1,800 sheep to protect them from a pack of wolves that have killed at least two dozen of the animals this summer. The Spokesman-Review reported Monday that Dave and Julie Dashiell decided to move their sheep to safety rather than wait for state wildlife officials to track down and kill up to four wolves from the Huckleberry Pack, which hunts north of the Spokane Indian Reservation. The ranchers tried numerous strategies to end the attacks. Jamie Henneman, spokeswoman for the Stevens County Cattlemen's Association, said they had a full-time herder, four guard dogs, range riders and extra help from state employees, but wolf kills kept mounting. "There's a point where you've got to decide, do you leave and hopefully stay in business, or do you stick around until there's just nothing left," she said.

Six members of the Central Connecticut women's lacrosse team were recognized by the Northeast Conference at the annual pre-tournament banquet. Senior Betsy Vendel, senior Ali Roche and junior Amanda Toke each earned First Team All-NEC honors. Senior Mackenzy Ryan and sophomore Morgan Tullar earned second team and freshman Elyse Malecki was an All-Rookie selection.
The six selections are the most in a single-season for the CCSU lacrosse program and prior to this year the Blue Devils had received just 11 total All-NEC and All-Rookie selections. The three first team selections is also a new high water mark for the Blue Devil squad.
The first team nod for Vendel is her second consecutive and it is her third straight All-NEC honor. She was a second team selection in 2011 and first team the last two years. She was also the NEC Rookie of the Year in 2012 and earned All-Rookie honors that season. Vendel joins Alice Lee as the only Blue Devils to earn first or second team All-NEC honors in three straight seasons. She also joins Tracey Uellendahl as the only Blue Devils to earn two first team selections.
Vendel broke Uellendahl's school record for points early this season and has extended her new record to 218 with 51 points this season. Vendel has started all 17 games this season for the Blue Devils and has started all 63 games during her four seasons. She led the team with 51 points and also led the team with 32 goals and 19 assists. Vendel also contributed a team-high 41 draw controls, was tied for third on the team with 27 ground balls and had 14 caused turnovers. Vendel holds the CCSU career records for points (218), assists (99) and draw controls (174). She is the only CCSU player to post 50+ points in four straight seasons.
Roche has been a key contributor to the Blue Devil defense that is allowing less than nine goals per game. She leads the team in ground balls (49) and caused turnovers (35). She also has five draw controls on the season. Roche is CCSU's all-time leader in caused turnovers (94) and is second all-time with 142 ground balls.
Toke earns her first team honors following a season in which she did a little of everything for the Blue Devils. From her midfield position, Toke finished third on the team in points (33) and was second on the squad with (26) goals. Toke also tallied seven assists, 26 ground balls, 33 draw controls and 23 caused turnovers. Her draw controls and caused turnovers are both second on the team this season. Toke was also the Blue Devils' most consistent free position shooter connecting on 7-of-9 attempts this season.
Ryan earned a place in the second team midfield with 39 points, 22 goals and 17 assists. Her points and assists are both second on the Blue Devils this year. Ryan also tallied 24 draw controls and 16 ground balls. Ryan's performance this season catapulted her up CCSU's career points, goals and assists lists. She is now third all-time in point (150), third in goals (109) and fourth in assists (41).
Joining Ryan on the second team is Tullar, who earns the second team goalkeeper spot after stopping 139 shots during her first season seeing significant playing time. Tullar posted an impressive goals against average of 8.89 per game while playing every minute of CCSU's 17 games. Tullar's nine wins this season are program record. She also scooped up 34 ground balls and caused eight turnovers.
Malecki's All-Rookie selection is just the second for a Blue Devil player. The rookie attacker finished fourth on the team with 25 points and tied for third on the squad with 22 goals. Malecki also picked up 15 ground balls, nine draw controls and four caused turnovers. She started all 17 games for the Blue Devils during her freshman campaign.
The Blue Devils led the way with six selections over the three teams. Regular season champion Monmouth and third seeded Bryant each placed five players on All-NEC teams.
The #2 Blue Devils will play #3 Bryant at 2:30 p.m. tomorrow. Fans that can not attend the game in West Long Beach, NJ can watch live on NECFrontRow.com

Ladies and Degenerates, welcome to the 2010 football season. Yes, nothing makes me feel quite as alive as hearing that theme music before the first game. A hint of fall in the air. The breaking out of the jersey I only allow myself to wear around the house on football days. The morbid faces of my loved ones as they bid me and their "big TV priority rights" farewell for six months. Good times. Good times.
The owners want to start the season two weeks earlier. I am against that just as much as my grumpy family huddled together in front of the little TV. More is not better. We have a perfect league. Why would we want to water it down with even more meaningless games at the end of the season?
Do we really want to draft fantasy teams knowing Peyton Manning will be playing half games the last month because he already has the division wrapped up? Do we really need to add two more weeks of misery to a Buffalo Bills fan's life? Do we really want to virtually assure there will never again be an undefeated or winless team?
No. We just want to make money. We want to make money so much that we are willing to kill the golden goose this time next year if we can't agree on how to divvy up the eggs. Note to the NFL. I was the biggest baseball fan on the planet before 1993. But my life-long love affair came to an abrupt and stunning end. The passion just drained from my body like a 12 pack of beer on a hot summer day on the river. It's been 17 years since the World Series was cancelled and I still have no problem filling my summer with alternate activities. I found out I could live without baseball. They haven't got a dime from me since. I'm just saying…
But enough gloom, for today we celebrate. We celebrate the new and the old. We celebrate the Bengals and their two diva wide receivers. Carson Palmer certainly has some big mouths to feed.
We celebrate the holy wars. Tony Dungy vs. that potty-mouthed Rex Ryan. We celebrate the jack-ass wars. The greedy A.J Smith vs. the delusional Vincent Jackson.
We celebrate the Favre wars. He still can't defeat that little voice inside him that tells him enough is enough. While all the while his body is planning a mutiny, and the people that used to root for him dread the annual bile inducing soap opera that he has become.
We celebrate the relative calm in the war of attrition which rears its ugly head every preseason. Michael Bush, Sidney Rice and Donnie Avery took the bullets. Sorry early drafters.
We celebrate the idiots who didn't hear about Donnie Avery's season ending injury because their research consisted of checking the cheat sheets from magazine printed in May, and they probably thought they got the bargains of the draft in round 8 when they took Rice, and round 9 when they took Avery. Sometimes the fish jump right in the boat. Thanks for the entry fee Gomer.
We celebrate the drunk that accidentally drafted Rob Gronkowski in the 8th round then spent the rest of the draft telling us how his Patriots kicker was going to kick our kickers ass. Thanks for the entry fee Otis Campbell. You've got no kicker for week one. Sleep that one off.
We celebrate the schemer that took Rodgers and Brees at the first turn, because he thinks that its just a matter of time before you come crawling to him for a quarterback, and trade him all your studs. You won't. Great work there Barney Fife. You will lead the Mayberry League in bench points and Santana Moss is your WR1.
We celebrate the fantasy drafters that still have the balls to get worked up over drafting a Lions player, even though deep down they know those balls are destined for blue.
We celebrate the fact that Jerry Jones is about to cut 16 checks about 16 times too big to one of his wide receivers.
We celebrate Daniel Snyder, who finally got the right head coach on his 7th try. Unfortunately the head coach will have to deal with mostly the wrong players just like the 6 unfortunates before him, and Danny boy will yet again de-stucco the ceiling on the floor below his owners box.
We celebrate whatever technical advancement was made to helmet's that make them fly off players heads at an alarming rate. Because a skull busted open on the field is so much more palatable than a concussion.
We celebrate the fact that outside of the beltway, Joe Theismann and Tony Kornheiser will not be anywhere near a booth for another season. And as such, the existence of a God becomes almost undeniable. UPDATE: Joe Theismann will be back in the broadcast booth as part of NFL Network's Thursday night telecasts, the league announced on Monday.
Hmm. So maybe there is a God but he just hates me. Why do you hate me God? Is it because I watch football instead of going to Church? Because if Theismann is the punishment I'm open to negotiation. I can do Easter, Christmas, and the Sunday before football season. (assuming I have no drafts that day) Theismann's laryngitis beginning in late October and lasting through January will signify your acceptance of my proposal.
10) Cardinals: How does a playoff team end up in the preseason Misery Index? Replace the Hall of Fame caliber quarterback with one that the Cleveland Browns found unacceptable. Ditch a tough as nails receiver, and gut your run defense by losing your star linebacker to the clutches of Parcells. On the bright side we can all look forward to our wives telling us about how on "Dancing With the Stars" this crazy lady came out of the audience and attacked the judges after unflattering comments were made about her husband's performance.
9) Broncos: Remember the scene in "Jaws" where Brody realizes they are in big trouble, and tries to call for help on the radio, and then Captain Quint takes notice and smashes the radio with a baseball bat? Well, Captain McDaniels smashed the radio and took a jack-hammer to the hull in Denver. Broncos fans are not amused with his machismo. McDaniel's apparently saw the writing on the wall in April, and spent 3 draft picks to move up and get Tim Tebow. Yes Coach, Tebow is tight with God and all that, but you are already halfway down the sharks gullet. Even Timmy's hotline to Heaven won't save you now. Farewell and adieu to you fair Spanish ladies / Farewell and adieu you ladies of Spain. / For we received orders for to sail back to Boston / And soon never more will we see you again.
8) Seahawks: Mike Williams, Mike Williams, Mike Williams. Just in case you haven't heard, former Lions first round bust and a main contributor to the corporate wealth of Krispy Kreme is reunited with his old coach. Pete Carroll isn't shy. I'll give him that. Carroll, a two time loser previously in the NFL came in guns a blazin'. Coach brought in his former college star, much to the guffaws and disbelief of the league and the fantasy brethren, rid himself of guys he considered Houshbags, and voila! Mike Williams makes a meteoric rise from punch-line to the hottest sleeper in fantasy football, and the #1 receiver on the Seahawks depth chart. So it is clear. Carroll is in charge. Great. Now let's see if he can win with a team that may have a lower payroll than the one he just left.
7) Buccaneers: Mike William, Mike Williams, Mike Williams. This version is the one that has not yet been a colossal bust. Unfortunately his team is probably as bad as the other Mike Williams team. But thanks to the Williams boys, now fantasy leaguers will be compelled to watch the games of both of these likely Misery Index darlings. Thanks a lot Mike and Mike. Let's hope the preseason wasn't a Psyche and Psyche. One thing is for sure, this team's defense will likely test the abilities of its offense on a regular basis.
6) Bears: Mike Martz and Lovie Smith together again. Gee, it seems like all the pieces are in place for the Greatest Show on Turf part deux . Except there is no astro-turf. The team plays outdoors in the elements 13-14 games a year. Matt Forte is no Marshall Faulk. Devin Hester is no Isaac Bruce. Johnny Knox probably ain't no Torry Holt. And Jay Cutler sure as hell ain't no Kurt Warner. Folks, we might well see the interception record broken. George Blanda owns that dubious distinction with 42. The Grand Old Man probably hasn't been this excited since Jeff George.
5) Raiders: When Jason Campbell is being hailed as the savior of your organization your sins must run very, very deep.
4) Browns: So, we hire a new GM. Okay, that's probably a good idea. Who did we get? Mike Holmgren. Call me crazy, but it seems to me that Holmgren is far more effective as a coach than a GM. Less than half of the '05 Superbowl team starters were acquired by Chumley, and he left the cupboards fairly empty for Pete Carroll. But then again, it's all relative. Given the horrific recent history of the Browns, Jake Delhomme and Mike Holmgren represent an upgrade. They have both at least been in a Superbowl. And unlike Lebron James, they will inspire far more anger with their presence than their departure. So there is that.
3) Lions: Can you feel it? Optimism. It has replaced morbid depression as the over-riding sentiment in Lions football circles. I would like to buy in. But I have been down that road too many times before. If you wander into a bad neighborhood and get your head busted, you stop going to that neighborhood eventually. I got careless last year and strolled in like I owned the place, grabbed me a second round handful of Calvin Johnson. By December my team was on I.R. and I was bleeding from both ears. Yeah, I know. CJ and your fancy new quarterback will both stay healthy this year. Suh will straighten out your fetal position defense. Your new stud running back will light Detroit on fire like the last time the Pistons won the title. This year, things will be different. Yes they will. Your inevitable misery and disappointment will not affect me whatsoever this season. I dropped Scheffler from my dynasty team when he set foot in the Motor City, and during my drafts jabbed my thigh with a fork anytime I felt tempted by anyone on the roster.
2) Bills: C.J. Spiller hasn't been on a losing team since at least 2002, which by coincidence is the last time the Bills were not a losing team. Here's hoping his coping skills are as impressive as his athletic skills.
1) Rams: How to ruin a quarterback prospect. Step 1: Draft him over a slam-dunk can't miss, once in a decade defensive player. Step 2: Start him from day one even though the lack of talent on the team almost assures he will fail miserably and/or be beaten to a pulp. Step 3: Rinse and repeat.

Just as Jim Jaggers, meteorologist for WREG News Channel 3, uses the power of his bike pedals to raise money and awareness for Le Bonheur Children's Hospital through Go Jim Go, his son Justin is using guitar pedals to do the same.
Lahna Deering and the Rev. Neil Down of Deering and Down perform in the lobby at Le Bonheur Children's Hospital with other artists from the Musicians for Le Bonheur project.

The younger Jaggers and business partner Rae Williams founded Angry Nerd Productions and created Musicians for Le Bonheur. Through the program, they have elicited the help of musicians and recording technicians across the city to produce a CD and stage live shows all for the benefit of Le Bonheur.
This isn't the first time Jaggers has used music to fundraise. In 2010, while searching for ways to market his own musical concern and promote the charity, he put together 18 musicians for a 20-track CD. The following year he tied it in with his senior project as a music business major at the University of Memphis and staged a battle of the bands to raise $1,200.
This year, he brings to the table a renewed vigor to the cause and more than 30 local artists crossing many genres willing to record and donate nearly 50 tracks so far, requiring a double album and bonus, digital B-side compilation for download.
Artists already committed to participating include FreeWorld, Star & Micey and The Bo-Keys, among many others.
To set this year apart from others, the partners knew that "we need to make the events bigger, we need to try and brand more and promote more and really try and present Memphis music on a whole new level," Jaggers said. "Both of us have just been amazed at how quickly this has grown this year."
The double CD will drop in the beginning of September with a release party on Sept. 13. The project formally kicks off a series of live shows around town throughout the spring and summer at Hard Rock Café on Beale Street the weekend of May 17, a bold move considering locals and visitors alike will be flooding the area for the Memphis in May World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest.
The $5 cover that night will go toward production of the CD, and all proceeds from sales go directly to the Le Bonheur Foundation.
The majority of the foundation's money comes from major gifts and events of different sizes, said Stephanie Snow, events coordinator for the Le Bonheur Foundation.
"It's really been great to see how this has grown and Justin has really just taken the reins and run with it," Snow said of the grassroots effort by Jaggers, adding, "Children respond so well to music, too, so Justin has made a point, since Le Bonheur is a children's hospital, for his CD and music to be family friendly as well."
A preview was held last week for those benefiting from the charitable contribution – the children of Le Bonheur – and staff members in an afternoon acoustic set held in the hospital's new building. For musicians used to smoky bars and late nights, the bright lights and antiseptic air of the main lobby was a welcome change.
Amber Lantrip with daughter Rayne Lantrip, 6 months, listen to a performance by artists from the Musicians for Le Bonheur project in the lobby of the hospital.
One such act was Deering and Down, a bluesy duo popular for their down-home lyrics and jangly guitar, turning the environment into a honky tonk hospital. When asked why they agreed to be a part of Musicians for Le Bonheur, Lahna Deering was quick to answer with "Why not?" Her partner, the Rev. Neil Down added, "It's just a great opportunity to do the right thing."
The duo has played charitable benefits in Alaska where their partnership began, and at a school for refugees while touring in Switzerland. Down was the recipient of help from fellow musicians last year following an accident that damaged his hip and left him with a limp and a cane.
Other acts that day included Kaci McAnally, Megan Myles, Jeff Moss, Matt Williams and singer-songwriter AJ Levin, who joked with those in attendance and to the children in their rooms watching via closed circuit television from a wall-mounted camera in the lobby.
"I'm used to saying good evening instead of good afternoon," Levin said.
Some of the patients were also treated to visits from the musicians and impromptu concerts by the strolling balladeers. Myles enjoyed the company of one little one who came out into the hall to dance with her.
The project hopes to bridge the city's community of musicians with its medical community. For Jaggers, helping the hospital is somewhat of a family tradition while, for others, such as Rae Williams, it's personal.
"My daughter was a patient here when she was 2; she had double hernia surgery," Williams said, "so I know the staff here all love children and it's such a great hospital."

That being said, I hope he returns as I agree with Captain J that I am not sure he translates well to the pro game. I hope I am wrong cause he really seems like an exceptional kid that I wish nothing but success to. But no way will he be able to use his legs in the NFL like he does in college and while I dont buy into some peoples opinion that he does not have a strong enough arm, I do question his accuracy. ESPECIALLY on the short routes. He does not have great touch in my eyes (that jump pass last night not withstanding) and seems to be erradic throwing short outs and into the flats.
He is damn good throwing the ball in the middle of the field especially on seam routes.
But I dont know how you could EVER bet against this kid (although I foolishly did and bet OKL last night ). Seems like one of those guys that will succeed at anything he puts his mind to.
I think he'd be a great Tight End or Full Back in the NFL, just not a QB.
ur watching too much Marcelleus Wiley on ESPN Capt.... I think he can do what he wants... he has shown that anything is possible, and another year in school can give us a better idea on what he can be. I honestly dont see him as a TE. Maybe a FB, but not TE
Oh, I don't watch ESPN, that's just my opinion. I think if he sticks around another year it's possible. I just see him struggling in the NFL like most Urban Meyer QBs or like most big, mobile, and physical QBs do. If he can catch, I don't see why he couldn't play TE successfully. He's the right size, he can block, and he'll take down any safety or LBer in his way.

AUGUST 6: 6th Circuit Appeals Court will hear oral arguments in 5 marriage cases
June 17, 2014
This week, the United States Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit scheduled a date for oral arguments in the appeals of five cases where judges have ruled in favor of the freedom to marry. In all four of the states that comprise the 6th Circuit - Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and Tennessee - marriage cases will be heard on August 6, presumably by the same three-judge panel.
The three-judge panel is expected to be announced several weeks before the August 6 argument date. Each side in the Michigan and Ohio cases will have 30 minutes to make their case; each side in the Kentucky and Tennessee case will have 15 minutes.
Keep up on all of the news for the 6th Circuit marriage cases at www.6thCircuit.org.
Here's a breakdown of each case that will be heard on August 6:
- Kentucky's Bourke v. Beshear: On Feb. 12, a federal judge ruled in this case, brought by private firms Clay Daniel Walton & Adams and Fauver Law Office, that Kentucky must respect the marriages of same-sex couples legally performed in other states. Notably, the Kentucky Attorney General, Jack Conway, announced that he would not appeal the ruling - but an appeal was still filed by KY Gov. Beshear.
- Michigan's DeBoer v. Snyder: On March 21, a federal judge ruled in favor of the freedom to marry in this case, striking down the marriage ban for same-sex couples. For the next 24 hours, more than 300 same-sex couples across the state received marriage licenses in Michigan until the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals granted a stay in the decision. The state is now appealing the ruling.
- Ohio's Obergefell v. Wymyslo & Henry v. Himes: On Dec. 23, a federal judge ruled in Obergefell v. Wymyslo that the state of Ohio must respect the marriages of same-sex couples legally performed in other states for the purpose of listing surviving spouses on death certificates. In April 2014, in a separate federal case, Henry v. Himes, the same judge ruled that Ohio must respect all married same-sex couples who wed in other states for all state purposes. Both cases were brought by private firms Gerhardstein & Branch Co., LPA and Newman & Meeks Co., LPA, with the ACLU joining Obergefell and Lambda Legal joining Henry.
- Tennessee's Tanco v. Haslam: On March 14, a federal judge ordered state officials to respect the marriages of three same-sex couples whose lawsuit, Tanco v. Haslam, challenges the state's marriage ban. The couples are represented by the National Center for Lesbian Rights.
In total, 14 different marriage cases are currently pending before 6 different federal appellate courts. In April, a 3-judge panel from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit heard oral arguments in marriage cases out of Oklahoma and Utah (Bishop v. Smith and Kitchen v. Herbert, respectively), and in May, a similar panel from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit heard arguments in a case out of Virginia (Bostic v. Rainey). Marriage supporters in both circuits (which include CO, KS, NM and WY in the 10th and MD, NC, SC and WV in the 4th) continue to await rulings.
As pro-marriage rulings stack up (with 20 consecutive rulings in favor of the freedom to marry since June 2013), decisions from federal appellate courts will multiply. We hope to win them all, expect to win many, and may even lose some. But our eyes, as always, are on the prize, and we are focused on making sure that elected officials, judges, and, yes, the justices of the U.S. Supreme Court all know that America is ready for the freedom to marry, and for them to do the right thing and bring the country to national resolution.
The national strategy has always been to win marriage nationwide in the Supreme Court, and the key to encouraging the Court to finish the job has always been to work the tracks of the Roadmap to Victory: growing public support, winning marriage in more states, and ending federal discrimination.
"Freedom to Marry's aim is not just to get to the Supreme Court, but to win in the Supreme Court," Evan Wolfson said earlier this year: "As we reach the federal appellate courts with momentum and majority support in every region of the country, it's clear that America is ready for the freedom to marry."
Freedom to Marry has been tracking litigation with our Marriage Litigation resource to provide a comprehensive overview at all of the marriage-related legal cases already underway. Special thanks to Kathleen Perrin at Equality Case Files for always being thorough in posting essential documents from the courts.

This post is a little different than most of my regular posts, but I feel the need to distribute a bit of pertinent information to ALL of my artist friends out there; those of you who rely on your hands to create, work and live really ought to read on… Back in January while working a crappy part-time job, I developed tendinitis in my dominant hand due to constant, repetitive gripping motions. My hand had to be immobilized (ie: NOT USE IT AT ALL) and I of course had to quit my job (because I couldn't perform it, but also because it would only become an endless source of injury). It took 2 full months of recovery until I was capable of fully closing my right hand to grip or hold things. Apart from the absolute inconvenience of trying to live an every day life with just one arm (try putting your hair up…), I was also unable to do any of my consistent creative outlets. It took a toll on me both physically and emotionally.My hand has since healed, but it isn't quite 100%. There are days when I wake up with it aching, perhaps due to the weather, or an awkward sleeping position, etc… Other times it begins to hurt if I have used my hand too much in one day, or if I am doing repetitive gripping tasks like dishes or gardening. These pains would be annoying to anyone, but as an artist who relies on her limbs to produce, it is a constant battle I do not want to fight everyday. I have started a few techniques that have helped my recovery progress and I thought would be helpful to share them with you.Artists and people who use their hands constantly need to be aware of the problems that can arrise out of constant, heavy use, and thus should be proactive about preventing these issues from crippling their creations, careers and dreams. Carpal tunnel, DeQuervians syndrome, arthritis and tendinitis are the four big health issues that can be detrimental to an artistic career that relies on healthy tendon, joint and muscle function. However these afflictions can be easily avoided if you remain proactive about prevention. Number one, and this can be said for overall body health, but DRINK PLENTY OF WATER. Your hands and arms are filled with precious tendons and multiple muscles that can become tight and irritable if they are not properly hydrated. Think of metal gears cranking without any lube, same idea; water helps to diminish tendon, joint & muscle friction. Remember in school when they taught us that our bodies are 70-80% water? They NEED this special clear fluid to work properly!Of course like water, a healthy diet will aid in your overall body function, but when it comes specifically to tendinitis, acid-producing foods should be avoided (high-fat meats & white bread/rice). Fruits and vegetables are obviously the most encouraged as they are full of vitamins, minerals and fiber and for the most part non-acid producing. Pineapples, kiwis, strawberries, bananas and apples all contain a natural anti-inflammatory called bromelain which can help heal aggravated and inflamed tendons and muscles. The vitamins present in fresh produce help boost your immune system which fights infection and repairs the body. Also some people swear by supplements like glucosamine or zinc which are intended to help reduce tendon and joint pain if you take them consistently. Apart from eating and drinking healthy, stretching is one of the biggest things people overlook. I am positive that many artists start their day by just sitting down at their desk, picking up their pencil or turning on their computer and getting straight to work. The issue here is that your body isn't prepared for the demanding (and usually repetitive) tasks you are going to put it through. Think of a gymnast or a long distance runner… would they ever begin a routine or run a race without warming up/stretching first in order to ensure their bodies are ready? As artists we tend to disregard the rigors of creativity. We need to realize that a lot of these motions and actions that we put our hands and body through daily can be extremely strenuous on our joints, tendons and muscles and can ultimately lead to injury or aches. Here are two great links to some stretching exercises that have been particularly helpful to me. The first is a general list of hand/wrist warm-ups, stretches and strengthening exercises that should be performed at least once a day. If you consistently stretch your hands, wrists and arms, you will be far less likely to develop the 4 above listed hand afflictions. The second is a stretching video that my friend Anika Starmer passed along to me which includes a few exercises that are invaluable when it comes to recovering from carpal tunnel or tendonitis. In particular this video illustrates a stretch that was extremely helpful to the palm and the thumb area; it is a stretch I hadn't seen in any of my other searches for therapy. I hope this post has been informative and that you all start to be proactive about preventing some of these possible career crippling afflictions. So please take better care of your paws… 'cause trust me, life's pretty tough without 'em.

Collaboration Patterns That Accelerate Your Business
This is my fourth blog in a multi-part series. In my first blog, I introduced insights from Cisco's Collaboration Work Practice Study and how people value collaboration in the work environment. In my second blog, I discussed the importance of building trust-based relationships and networks to make collaboration work for you. In my third blog, I share how you can turn human interactions into business results. In today's blog, I discuss patterns of collaborative behaviors and how to leverage them to better support collaborators.
Collaboration can happen at anytime. Some would describe it as chaotic. But interestingly enough, through all the collaborative interactions we observed, we saw patterns in the "chaos" – patterns that did not just exist in organizational silos, nor were they simply associated with a job role or personality type. Throughout the day, people play a variety of roles and experience different types and modes of collaboration. They go from online to offline, in a virtual meeting to meeting over coffee, have an ad-hoc chat in the break-room and attend a global Cisco TelePresence meeting.
If we pay close attention to the behavior patterns of collaboration we can learn how to better support collaborators and create a more seamless experience. This is where process, technology and the physical and virtual workplace can complement the human behaviors that occur during collaboration.
Accelerating Collaboration through Catalysts and Connectors
"Not everyone is comfortable with collaborating virtually. [A catalyst's] outreach encourages participation and makes the experience rich and meaningful." – Study Participant
In our study, we found that certain types of people play an essential role in not only reinforcing a culture of collaboration but also accelerating it. We call these two types of people catalysts and connectors. A "catalyst" sees the opportunities and value of working together as a team and is extremely effective at bringing people together and ensuring they are engaged and invested in the outcome. They are change agents and move efforts forward by lifting barriers. A connector can be equated to a living "friend finder." They excel at connecting the right people, and their extensive personal network is a highly prized asset. The value provided by these two types of people had no real equivalent in the enterprise.
Understanding the patterns in the network of relationships or social graph in your organization can help to identify these key individuals and strategically leverage them to successfully move efforts forward.
Collaboration is More Than an Instance
Something else we learned: collaboration is not a single instance—a meeting, work session, discussion, or conversation. Rather, there are activities that take place before, during and after. And often, the process of collaboration moves through different modes during its lifecycle, from synchronous to asynchronous, informal to formal, on-line and offline.
"A meeting happens; then work happens during the week in asynchronous mode until you get back together." – Study Participant
Yet moving through this collaboration "continuum" is a disjointed experience. Participants stated this was largely due to the lack of well-integrated tools. But it also requires flexible physical and virtual work spaces that can accommodate collaboration occurring anytime, anyplace and in different ways. Providing flexibility is important to support the changing needs of collaborators.
As we observed the workdays of our participants in the study, four types of collaboration emerged. Each has unique characteristics regarding the set-up, roles and technology typically used to achieve the desired outcome.
- Relationship building and networking involves establishing relationships, developing trust and leveraging personal networks to make connections. It is personal, social, and requires an environment that is comfortable and conducive for personal interaction.
- Problem solving focuses on bringing together a group of people to collaborate on a resolution to a problem or issue. It is typically time sensitive, results-oriented and highly interactive. Often experts need to be "pulled in" to help with resolution.
- Innovation develops new solutions or ideas. This type of interactive and highly immersive collaboration often makes a big impact on the organization in terms of large-scale change and new opportunities for the company. It requires an environment that allows for the open exchange and capture of ideas.
- Execution and communication involves collaboration that keeps the business moving such as planning and operations, project and program execution and organizational communication. It is more tactical in nature and the type of collaboration most employees experience during the course of their day.
Understanding the patterns of collaborative behavior plays an important role in influencing product strategy and services. Consider how to better guide collaborators by providing them with the information, capabilities, and technologies they need along the way; before, during and after the collaboration
Tips to Leverage Collaboration Patterns
How can you take action to better support the patterns of how people collaborate?
- Understand the network of relationships in your organization by conducting an Organizational Network Analysis (ONA). Additional reading on ONA: We Can Learn Some Things About Collaboration from Duke's Coach K.
- Support activities and movement during the lifecycle of collaboration by providing tools that help people think through, plan, and execute collaborative efforts more effectively
- Utilize flexible physical and virtual environments that support the shifts in the collaboration needs of teams and individuals
At Cisco, it's about flexibility, integration and leveraging key individuals in the organization. Striving to make the collaboration experience more seamless means collaborators spend less time tracking down information and people and getting "set up" to collaborate. They have more time to focus on the objective – and ultimately speed the progress toward completion.
What's top of mind for you? How can improving collaboration help accelerate your business?

REALLY inspiring IWC Synch with RADM Nancy Norton earlier today (yesterday for those in the States, I think). Watched it on youTube when I got home from work earlier. Lots of positive movement for the IWC. Looks like IWC will be looking to cross detail XOs between communities at the O5 command level. Believe this is a very positive step to begin developing growth between the communities sooner in the course of a standard career. Also, she mentioned looking at billets in our commands to determine where we can continue to increase diversity of all communities inside of IWC commands. Kudos to VADM Tighe and the IWC Flag Panel for these moves! Definitely progress in the right direction to enable the IWC to maximize its potential and continue on course to become greater than the sum of its parts! Looking ahead to the future, I'm admittedly a little envious of those folks who commission today.

Although the football team was blanked 39-0 by Eastport-South Manor under the lights here Saturday night, there were enough good sporting results inside and outside that day to fuel East Hampton High's homecoming spirits.
Even as the football team was taking its lumps under the lights, joy reigned in the grandstands, with irrepressible students holding up an oversize headshot of Pete Vaziri (a tribute to his 95-yard touchdown runback against Kings Park) and brandishing placards that seemed to say "Bonac Pride Reientiess" ("Relentless," apparently), "Get 'Em," and "Let's Go Bonac."
Click for More Photos
At halftime, the band played, the dance team did the cancan, the cheerleaders leapt, and Ryan Joudeh, a running back sidelined for the moment because of an ankle sprain, and Kathryn Hess, the girls soccer goalie, who had just learned she'd been named second team all-state in softball, were hailed as homecoming's king and queen.
The day before, at a pep rally in the school's auditorium, all the fall's teams took the stage, with the golf and boys soccer squads hoisting trophies aloft — the golf team's attesting to its Long Island championship last spring and the soccer team's attesting to its triumph in the recent 10-team East End Cup tournament sponsored by Bridgehampton National Bank. The boys cross-country team waved an American flag, the girls tennis team came with rackets and served Nerf balls to their schoolmates, and the girls swimming team, which debuted in a nonleague meet at the Y.M.C.A. East Hampton RECenter Saturday — one of eight teams to participate in homecoming contests — tossed out Nerf balls too.
Earning homecoming Ws were field hockey, which crushed Hampton Bays 8-0, with goals by Dana Dragone (two), Meghan Dombkowski (two), Amanda Calabrese, Alyssa Bahel, Nicole Miksinski, and Laura Perez; boys soccer, which, likewise, crushed Amityville 7-0; girls soccer, which prevailed 1-0 over Elwood-John Glenn in double overtime, and girls volleyball, which swept Bayport-Blue Point by 25-17, 25-19, and 25-16 scores.
In the girls volleyball match, Melissa Perez and Katla Thorsen each had six aces; Melanie Mackin had 14 kills, Perez eight, and Raya O'Neal seven. O'Neal had 16 assists and Maggie Pizzo had 10. Defensively, Thorsen had 17 digs, O'Neal had 12, and Lydia Budd had 10. The team had nine blocks in all.
Girls swimming, while it did not win, "did very, very well," according to the team's coach, John McGeehan. "We went up against Half Hollow Hills, which is a League I school — we're in League III. Half Hollow Hills was second in the county last year, to Connetquot."
Among East Hampton's winners were Marina Preiss, in the 50 and 200-yard freestyle races; Carly Drew, an eighth grader, in the 100 butterfly; Maddie Minetree in the 100 free; Mikayla Mott in the 100 breaststroke, and the 200 medley, 200 freestyle, and 400 freestyle relay teams.
Although it was the team's first meet of the season, Preiss, in the 50 and 200 free, Minetree, in the 100 free, and the 200 freestyle relay team of Minetree, Drew, Morgan German, and Preiss were close to meeting New York State qualifying times.
McGeehan said he wasn't sure what the final score was, "but it was close."
A few of the girls cross-country runners took part in the Suffolk Coaches invitational meet at Sunken Meadow Saturday morning, with Ashley West placing 18th in the 5K Class A race in 21 minutes and 36 seconds, and with Dana Cebulski placing fifth in the freshman 1.5-mile race in 8:56. Diane O'Donnell, East Hampton's coach, said she's not seen a faster time run in that distance so far by runners in Cebulski's division. West was in a field of 140 from 19 schools, Cebulski went against about 100 other ninth graders.
It appeared for a while last week that Bonac's girls had earned their first win of the season in a meet at Sunken Meadow with Mount Sinai, but O'Donnell said later she'd not seen Mount Sinai's first runner cross the line. "It can be confusing — there are all sorts of races going on, boys and girls, and she must have come in with a group of boys."
Thus, instead of winning 27-28, East Hampton lost 25-30. Nevertheless, West and Cebulski served notice, finishing one and two over the three-mile course. West won in 20:24 and Cebulski "was a heartbeat behind."
The potential to win meets is there, the coach continued during a conversation Monday. "We'll get one and two. How we do, though, will depend on the other four. I'm going to talk to them about team strategy at practice today. It's the first time in a long time that I've had that luxury!"
In another homecoming contest, the girls tennis team lost twice to McGann-Mercy by 4-3 scores, a suspended match at second doubles carried over from the teams' first meeting having preceded the regularly scheduled match here.
Getting back to the field hockey team, it wound up doing surprisingly well in a 3-2 loss to Shoreham-Wading River — Newsday's fourth-ranked team in any sport on Long Island — here last week.
Shoreham jumped out to a 3-0 lead by the half, but East Hampton came back with goals by Dombkowski and Bahel in the second, and almost tied it with a shot by Dragone that was said to have been taken just outside the circle.
As for boys volleyball, its coach, Dan Weaver, said Monday that, despite the homecoming loss in three to Eastport-South Manor, he still thinks the Bonackers and the Sharks are the two best teams in Division II.
"We lost the first 25-11, which was disappointing — they had two jump servers we couldn't handle initially — but we bounced back after that, losing the second 27-25 and the third 25-23," the coach said.
Thomas King, an outside hitter, had 16 kills for East Hampton. "Thomas carried us at times," said Weaver. "He was dominant."
The boys volleyball team made the playoffs last year, losing to Shoreham in the semifinal round. "We should make them again this year," Weaver said.

text: The New York State Laborers-Employers Cooperation and Education Trust (LECET) celebrated a milestone — 15 years of generous support to Oswego's Presidential Scholars Program. Bill Shannon, business manager for the Upstate New York Laborers' Council and LECET representative, presented a check for $25,000 to President Deborah F. Stanley in the autumn. "We believe in the importance of education and in maintaining strong relationships with our community," said Shannon. He added that the trust is happy to support the Presidential Scholars program, which makes a high-quality education possible for many students, like the children of LECET's members. Stanley thanked LECET for their continuing support of the program, saying "LECET's unprece-dented longevity of commitment to partnering with SUNY Oswego not only benefits our Presidential Scholars, but also the people of our state and region as these dedicated students take their Oswego degrees out into the world and do great things."

Saint Lucy was born about 283 AD in Syracuse, Sicily and died about 304 AD in the same area. The thing about saints born so long ago is that there weren't many (if any) records kept to detail their lives and deaths. Often times their histories were told and retold orally many times before they were ever written down. Legends grew over time. There are several legends attributed to Saint Lucy, some may be based in truth, others may be nothing more than myths. It's hard to say which are which.
One legend says Lucy was betrothed against her will and vowed to remain a virgin as a pledge to her faith in Jesus Christ. Supposedly her betrothed didn't like that idea and reported her (as a Christian) to the Roman authorities. The legend has it that her eyes were gouged out as punishment. Or she gouged them out herself and offered them to her captors. (There are different versions.) This legend was commonly believed and when she was the subject of artists in the 1500s she was depicted with her eyeballs on a plate. And for that reason and because her name means "light", she is the patron saint of the blind and eye disorders.
The one thing that seems to be accepted as fact is that she was persecuted for her belief in Jesus Christ.
There are St Lucy (Lucia) light festivals held in some Scandinavian countries. According to folk legend, December 13th follows the longest night of the year in Sweden. In celebration, school girls dress up in white robes with a candle-lit wreath on their heads. What a lovely sight that must be!
In Italy and Sicily, Saint Lucy is honored on December 13th with dinner feasts of pasta dishes and other Italian foods. Now that's a grand idea, don't you think? Perhaps you will honor Saint Lucy with pasta at dinner tonight!
My mother's name was Lucy. Actually, she was baptized in the Catholic church as Lucja (Polish version of Lucy) and legally her name was Lucille. But everyone called her Lucy. I always wondered why she was given that name. She wasn't named for anyone in the family. Nor for her Godmother. Nor for my grandmother's best friend in America. The thought crossed my mind that she may have been named for St Lucy but I can't find any information about the saint that would have my grandmother naming her daughter after her. And the timing wasn't right for her to have been named for the saint simply because her birth was in close proximity to the feast day. The Feast of St Lucy is today, December 13th while my mother was born in July. Perhaps she was given the name simply because my grandmother or grandfather liked it. Back in 1918, when she was born, Lucille was the 29th most common name for baby girls.

I stumbled upon this old photo of Georg Friedrich Nuffer the other day. It is not often you come across a color photograph of a family member from so long ago.
Georg is the half-brother to my Regina Friederike Nuffer, daughter of John and Eva Nuffer. Georg is the son of John and Agnes Nuffer. Agnes Barbara Spring passed away 29 January 1867 in Neuffen, Esslingen, Wurttemburg and John Nuffer remarried to Eva Katharina Greiner 25 July 1867 in Neuffen.
Georg was born 20 January 1864 in Neuffen. The family immigrated to the Preston, Franklin, Idaho area in 1880, I believe to the Glendale area. He met and married Anna Elizabeth Rinderknecht 3 April 1888 in Providence, Cache, Utah. He died 31 March 1952 in Saratoga, Santa Clara, California. This photo I believe was taken somewhere near Preston. From the vehicles in the background, it was within a year or two before he passed away. It is a gem of a picture from the wrinkled suit, bushy eyebrows, and colors.

Travel Towels
Microfiber towels are softer, thinner and more absorbent than conventional towels. They use an ultrafine fiber that's woven like no other textile. Each square inch of a microfiber towel contains about 90,000 microfibers that are a blend of 80% polyester and 20% polyamide. These fibers provide tremendous absorbency...up to 7 times the fabric's weight in moisture...yet they dry quickly.
In addition to having a luxurious texture and fast drying ability, these towels are chemical free, lint free, non-abrasive, and hypoallergenic. When used dry, microfiber is perfect for polishing. Dampened with water they are great for cleaning any washable surface. They'll leave even the smoothest surfaces (eyeglasses, CD's etc...) lint and streak free. They pack in a third of the volume of normal towels, which is perfect for any trip.

Sushil Bikhchandani Advanced to Full Professor, Step VI
Recognized for outstanding teaching, research and service
LOS ANGELES -- Faculty Chairman Charles Corbett announced that Professor Sushil Bikhchandani has been advanced to Full Professor, Step VI. Sushil earned his Ph.D. from Stanford in 1986, and has been at UCLA Anderson his entire career. Although Sushil is best-known for his work on fads, he himself is not one to engage in herd behavior. Instead, he tackles fundamental problems in auctions, mechanism design and signaling, and he has had significant impact on policy and practice. His work consistently appears in the top journals, and his papers on informational cascades are very widely cited. Other work, such as that on single object auctions, is also considered pathbreaking by extramural authorities. Very few scholars can claim to have influenced the direction of research in their field more than once, as Sushil has done.
Sushil is a dedicated teacher and an outstanding citizen of UCLA and UCLA Anderson, having served on a variety of demanding and important committees (including twice on Staffing), and for four years as Director of the Ph.D. Program. "Sushil is an extremely valued colleague in all respects," said Professor Corbett.Contact Information

School officials and other supporters of public education spoke out Thursday against a package of bills that would severely restrict the ability of local school districts to raise needed funds through referendums. At a hearing on the bills, they blamed cuts in state funding of public education for the financial challenges faced by school districts and the rise in local referendums.
"The level of referendums would drop significantly if the state would get behind real education reform," Baraboo School Board Member Doug Mering told the Assembly's Education Committee.
According to a report in the Green Bay Press-Gazette, Mering said the problem isn't the referendums, but inadequate state funding that forces districts to turn to their voters for additional revenue.
Rep. Sondy Pope, D-Mt. Horeb, summed them up this way, "Public schools were told, if you don't have enough money, go to referendum, ask your local voters. And now you don't like that either. You've driven schools into this and now that they're doing it, you're saying we got to stop this. I don't understand the philosophy."
The three referendum restriction bills are:
- Assembly Bill 282, prohibiting a school board in a unified district from voting on a resolution to exceed a school district's revenue limit at a school board meeting that is not a regularly scheduled monthly meeting, and prohibiting voting in a common or union high school (UHS) district on a resolution to exceed a school district's revenue limit at a school district special meeting. The bill would further provide that the electors of common and UHS districts may vote upon an initial resolution to raise money through a bond issue only at the school district's annual meeting.
- Assembly Bill 268, eliminating recurring referendums to exceed revenue limits and limiting the duration of successful non-recurring (temporary) operating referendums to 5 years, creating an automatic "cliff effect" when those referendums expire. The bill would also convert all previously approved recurring (permanent) operating expense referendums to non-recurring (temporary) operating referendums with a duration of 5 years, which would create a similar "cliff effect." The five-year clock would begin ticking in the year the bill, if enacted as a new law, is published.
- Assembly Bill 269, requiring, with certain exceptions (e.g., in cases of fire or natural disaster) that all referendum votes must be held on the dates of spring and fall General Elections. This would limit school boards to only two opportunities in an even-numbered year and only one opportunity in an odd-numbered year.

Public school officials push back on bills aimed at slowing referendums
MADISON – Public school officials from around the state voiced opposition Thursday to a slate of bills aimed at slowing the growth of property-tax-raising referendums, saying the measures would usurp local control and leave many districts – particularly small, rural, systems – in dire financial straits.

Coming soon...
Click images for more details
A few sites I've stumbled across recently....
Will put this on my christmas list.
The reviews are being written as I write ;-)
Already on Amazon for pre-order - I'm in the queue !
Said the Bishop to the actress.
Will buy.
Another page turner! I would like to apply to play Mr. Mann in the after-school special. I'll have to lose some hair and gain some arrogance, but I'm willing to take one for "Our Team".
I wonder if sks'es "secret" forum is rallying the troops to give it bad reviews the moment it is released?
I guess that thinking they might organise Amazon astroturfing would make me a conspiracy nut.
Can we get signed copies?
Sign me Up!
Good show, I like a good pot-boiler.
Looking forward to reading this!
It might be a bit tricky to visualize a movie version, but innovative filming techniques can show Hockey Team villains drooling and cackling over their keyboards in dark dank chambers, while heroic auditors and skeptics shine internet spotlights from afar.
I hope it will be in the tradition of a Hitchcock thriller: no bloodshed, just intense psychological drama, please.
On order, and really looking forward to a good read.
Another one for my winter reading list.
How long will I have to wait for the Kindle version?
Kindle version please!
Phillip Bratby says-
"Can we get signed copies?"
Yes, please!
Vote for Kindle
If there are no photos of drowning polar bears I am not reading it >.<
Well perhaps if I too could get a signed copy then I might reconsider?
Dung the Unworthy
Kindle, kindle, kindle please.
On my list to Santa.
Kindle here too, please!
Yes - Kindle please Bish!
"Kindle version please!"
What do you put on your bookshelves?
Record fastest trip to the remainders shelf!
Possibly should have mentioned that the link above was to Amazon in the US, not UK, and that their comment on our beloved Bishop's book was:
Out of Print--Limited Availability.
Pre-order the paper (hurray for paper!) version here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hiding-Decline-W-Montford/dp/0957313500/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1349974147&sr=1-1
Added to wish list :).
Amazon pre-order completed. Did I read correctly that delivery isn't expected till March 2013?
Dear Author.
Can I add my name to the list?
Will a Kindle edition be made available?
We're all trying to save the planet here...
There is much more to this murky mess than any of us imagined. It all appears to have started with international deceit a few weeks before the United Nations was established on 24 Oct 1945.
We seem to be on the verge of economic and social collapse worldwide, and I expect the "truth will out" before the end of the current year, perhaps even before the presidential election in Nov 1945.
It does not matter if Mutt or Jeff is elected. Since 1945, every US President - except John F. Kennedy and perhaps Dwight D. Eisenhower - seems to have worked to form a one-world government.
The wrong side now has the upper hand in the age-old battle of The EGO versus The FORCE

I saw this coming four decades ago, but I could not decipher the puzzle before Climategate in Nov 2009.
With deep regrets,

Former NASA Principal
Investigator for Apollo
I'd prefer the print edition - that way people will see what I'm reading, and I have an heirloom to pass on. On the pre-order list.
Definitely for hardcopy please. Will look very erudite in the Dog and Duck.
Any indications as to roughly when?
Coupled with a copy of Josh's calendar it could be a Blissful Sceptics Christmas.
hmmmm...Bish as much as I thought the "Hockey Stick Illusion" was the most entertaining book I'd read in a long while, isn't this milking it a bit? I mean surely enough has been said on this topic...
Oct 11, 2012 at 8:26 PM | email@example.com
"I mean surely enough has been said on this topic..."
I doubt it. Bish usually has a way of bringing clarity to complex stories and I'm sure this will be no different.
I'll be in line.
Yes, count me in for the Kindle version.
Just when the Team thought it was safe to get back in the water....
I'll wager the Team will have book reviews posted before the print has dried at the publishing house.
Can I have a signed Kindle version?
I will be amongst those pre-ordering. If it is up to the standards of the Hockey Stick Illusion will be worth a 5-star review on Amazon. However, unlike the reviews for Michael Mann's book, a 5-star review has to be earned from the actual reading and evaluation of the book.
.. in which an accountant who truly believes the sun shines from the arse of a mining consultant shows climate science to be lies straight from the pit of hell.
Be sure to get a right-wing nobody who understands squiggly lines and red noise even less than the author to write the foreword.
Best news I've seen today! Me 'n my Kindle are looking fwd to another fabulous read!
What is the purpose of the book: to make money or to spread The Word? If the former then good luck to you. If the latter, then why not make a PDF available for no charge (in the manner of David Mackay's Sustainable Energy - Without the Hot Air)? I might read your book as a PDF, but I would never pay for it.
Oct 11, 2012 at 11:19 PM | Bishop Phill

Do you apply the same altruistic standards to all writers on climate change?
Steve Jones:
Do you apply the same altruistic standards to all writers on climate change?
I had no idea that I was applying an altruistic standard. Does anyone else think I was?
"I might read your book as a PDF, but I would never pay for it."
Don't pay for it.
Borrow from a library. Ask your friend to lend it. The danger from any book comes from what written in it.
I have ordered my copy.
Just a thought that, like the HSI, this book might just make a suitable gift for open minded scientists, especially those who currently accept CAGW. There are a lot of genuine folk out there who would be horrified to discover how they have been misinformed.
I will go back to lurking now.
Looking forward to it.
We should take bets on who will post the first 1 star review to Amazon on the day of release without having read the book.
In light of recent events, please note henceforth throughout the known universe that Michael E. Mann is the Lance Armstrong of climate science.

Have you ever wondered what the backstory was to building a motorcycle? Perhaps no greater version of that story exists than the rebirth of MV Agusta from the hands of Harley-Davidson, and the building of the company's supersport model, the MV Agusta F3. Making an appearance on National Geographic's "Mega Factories" show, the doors of MV Agusta were opened up to the film crew's cameras, and a fairly candid look at what is behind the curtain takes place.
The reason for the show's success is because it is always interesting to see what goes into building our favorite machines, and for motorcycle enthusiasts, the insight given by MV Agusta tells more of the saga that surrounded the development and production of the F3, and the reason for its delays to market.

Nine West has opened the first standalone store for its Vintage America Collection line. The store, in New York City's SoHo neighborhood, reflects the modern bohemian ethos of the brand.
Nine West, a division of The Jones Group, collaborated with Stefan Beckman, a New York City-based designer, on the design of its newest format. Inspired by the turquoise blue of the ocean in Southern California and the palette of desert terrain of the American West, the space will be outfitted in sensual metallic, feminine antiques and unique finds from road trips across the country. While incorporating elements of New York, the store will also serve as a sanctuary from the city's hustle and bustle and be simultaneously luxe vintage and eclectically gypsy.
In addition to the store, the Vintage America Collection will be supported by a comprehensive digital and social media campaign.

Birdie Bread Rolls Recipe
I wanted to use completely edible items for the whole birdie, so I used slivered almonds for the beaks and chocolate pearls for the eyes. I was a little concerned the eyes might melt and make a mess, but it actually worked. The pearls are chocolate-coated crunchy cereal, so they had some substance. Something more solid, like a peppercorn, would probably work better as an eye, but most folks don't want to bite into a peppercorn. A piece of black olive or a bit of dried fruit could also work. Just look around your kitchen and see what you have that would be edible and suitable!
Read more: Cute Bread Baking: Bird-Shaped Rolls
- Yield:makes 8 rolls
- Active time: 40 minutes
- Total time:2 hours 40 minutes
- 1/2 cup water, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup orange juice, at room temperature
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
- 11 1/4 ounces (about 2 1/4 cups) bread flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Chocolate pearls (for eyes)
- Slivered almonds (for beaks)
Combine water, orange juice, sugar, yeast, and bread flour in bowl of stand mixer fitted with dough hook. Knead on low speed until dough is smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Add salt and olive oil, and continue kneading until they are completely incorporated and dough is smooth, silky, shiny and elastic, about 5 minutes longer. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and set aside until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Adjust oven rack to center position and preheat the oven to 350°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Sprinkle work surface with flour and turn the dough out. Knead briefly, then divide into 8 even pieces. Take one of the pieces and cut off about 1/4 of the dough. Form that smaller piece into a ball. Form the other piece into a teardrop shape.
Make a divot in the fat part of the teardrop-shaped piece, but not too close to the edge as shown in the photo.
Place the ball on top of the teardrop shaped piece on top of that divot you just made.
Place this on the baking sheet, with the pointy end facing the center of the sheet. This will make it easier to work in the face later. Continue until all the birds are shaped. Cover the birds with plastic wrap and set aside until nearly doubled in size, about 20 minutes.
Using a toothpick or skewer, poke holes in the first bird's head where you want the eyes and beak. Insert the eyes and beak, pushing them well into the dough. Keep in mind that they don't all need to be facing straight forward - you can position the faces so they're looking up, down, or to the side.
Continue with the rest of the birds, until all of them have eyes and beaks. Cover them with plastic wrap and let them continue rising until doubled—another 5 to 10 minutes, depending on how long it took to get the faces finished. Uncover the birds again, and if the eyes and beaks have started protruding, push them back in again.
Bake until the birds are nicely browned, about 30 minutes. Remove the birds from the baking sheet and put them on a rack to cool. If the eyes and beaks need to be pushed back in again, do so while the buns are still warm. Let them cool completely on the rack if you're not serving them right away.

Federal Resume Writing Checklist
Jason Kay | KSA Doctor
May 18, 2009
A federal resume is a tool for gaining or advancing one's career in the government arena. At its core, it is similar to the standard private sector resume. However key differences exist in the type and amount of information provided. Therefore, in order to be successful with federal employment, it is necessary to be mindful of these differences.
Application Differences
Unlike the private sector, federal resumes are reviewed by people rather than software. Further, these individuals are seeking information that demonstrates that the application has direct knowledge or experience of the position he/she has applied for. Therefore, it is necessary to:
• Review the specific job announcement for the skills and knowledge required.
• Include previous experiences, often accompanied by quantifiable results and accomplishments
Organization Differences
Information in a federal resume is most commonly presented in chronological format. List:
• Educational history before work history
• Highest level of education attained followed by earlier schooling (including high school)
• Number of course hours completed if college coursework has been completed but a degree was not received
• Work history in reverse order with most recent experience listed first
• Summarize work history for at least the last 10 years
Formatting Differences
Once the content of the resume is drafted, it is necessary to ensure that it is properly formatted. Use:
• Commonly accepted font such as Times New Roman or Arial
• Main text in 11 point type
• Margins no less than 1 inch
• 3 to 5 pages in length (typically longer than private sector resumes)
Information Differences
There are several key pieces of information that must be included on a federal resume that are not typically utilized on a private sector resume. Vital content to include:
Beginning of the resume
• Announcement number
• Title
• Grade of the job
Further down…
• Include your social security number
• Veteran's preference
• Number of hours worked per week for each position listed
• Hourly or annual salary for each position listed
• Specify GS numbers and Grades for current or past federal jobs
Also provide or attach:
• Supervisor's name, phone number, and address for each position on the resume
• Whether the recruiter has the candidate's permission to contact the supervisor
• No permission granted? Address this issue in the cover letter that accompanies the resume
• Typically, candidates must address knowledge, skill, and abilities (KSA) factors specified in the job announcements on separate attachments submitted with the resume
By observing a few stylistic and information differences, candidates for government employment can create a resume that speaks strongly to their abilities to perform the duties of the job to which they are applying.

13 December 2013, Libreville, Gabon – UNITAR attended the Final Review Workshop held in Libreville on 13 December 2013.

The workshop was attended by some 75 representatives of government, industry, non-governmental organisations, as well as a UNITAR resource person.
The project outcomes include a National Profile, which gives an overview of the situation of chemicals management in the country, a National SAICM Implementation Strategy with action plans for priority issues, a structure for a national chemicals database, and strengthened national infrastructure for the sound management of chemicals.
The Final Review Workshop was hosted by the Ministry of Housing, Planning, Ecology and Sustainable Development of Gabon, with technical support provided by UNITAR, and financial support provided by SAICM's Quick Start Programme Trust Fund.
