The AAFP Division of Continuing Medical Education (DCME) aims to provide a professionally rewarding and personally fulfilling experience for everyone involved in the creation of CME, according to DCME Medical Director Ann Karty, M.D. With that in mind, the Academy is moving to optimize its CME faculty selection process, in part by offering easier access to online tools for faculty.
During the past few months, Karty explained, the Academy has made renovations to the CME faculty section of the AAFP website; updated resources; and disseminated e-mail blasts, mailers and satisfaction surveys -- all designed to enrich the overall faculty portfolio.
"AAFP CME faculty members share their passion to teach and learn with their family medicine colleagues," Karty said. "The recent updates to the recruiting and selection process components are designed to streamline the overall faculty selection process."
The Academy's online CME Faculty Resource Center now offers several different content development tools, including a webcast hosted by Karty on designing an effective case presentation. The site also includes links to guidelines for writing tests(2 page PDF) and learning objectives(2 page PDF), as well as a resource(2 page PDF) on incorporating performance measures into CME activities. Finally, links to a number of AAFP-recommended, evidence-based CME resources -- both free and subscription-based -- round out the complement of tools.
In addition to these resources, the Academy also provides a link(www.nfeinitiative.org) to online training that outlines the differences between certified CME and promotional activities through the National Faculty Education Initiative. AAFP CME faculty are required to complete this training.
The Academy offers opportunities for authors, editors and content development faculty to serve as live, audio, video or enduring presentation faculty members.
To apply to become an AAFP CME faculty member, applicants should fill out the online faculty interest form.

ROCKFORD — Rock Valley College trustees will assemble a search committee of board members, faculty and community members in the next few weeks to help select President Jack Becherer's successor.
ROCKFORD — Rock Valley College trustees will assemble a search committee of board members, faculty and community members in the next few weeks to help select President Jack Becherer's successor.
The college has retained the Boston search firm Isaacson, Miller to help find its next leader. Becherer has led the college for more than eight years; his contract expires June 30.
Rockford Chamber of Commerce President Einar Forsman, United Technologies Aerospace Systems engineer Rudy Valdez, Rockford Area Realtors government affairs director Conor Brown and the Rev. Kenneth Board urged trustees this week to be inclusive when forming the search committee.
Trustee Randy Schaefer will chair the committee. Michael Dunn, Lynn Kearney, Frank Haney and Patrick Murphy have indicated their willingness to participate.
Dunn, the board president, said he'd like at least five RVC employees to serve on the committee: two faculty members and one representative each from the RVC Foundation, the Employee Support Personnel and the Professional Staff Association employee groups.
That would leave room for five or six community members if the committee is capped at 15. Any more than 15 may be "unwieldy," advised Miller, Isaacson Vice President Michelle Cruz-Williams.
Kearney suggested that the committee include a nonprofit leader and a high school superintendent from within the community college district. Becherer suggested that an RVC student should also participate. The board will send its recommendations for community members to Schaefer so the search committee can be ready to meet in September.
The panel will first establish the attributes and qualifications desired for Rock Valley's next leader. Miller, Isaacson will screen up to 30 applicants and recommend 15 to 20 of the most suitable prospects.
The panel would then choose perhaps six to 10 of those for confidential, off-site interviews in January or February. From there, the committee would select a few finalists who would visit the campus for further interviews and meetings.
The final decision rests with trustees.
"We're not trying to replace Jack," Cruz-Williams said. "The question is, What is the next level of leadership you need?"
Cruz-Williams said her firm is well-known for its recruitment of women and people of color. The national executive search firm helped the University of California choose its new president this summer, former U.S. Homeland Security Director Janet Napolitano.

text: I have just come back after being away for a month, and I was wondering what the current status of the dst_ca ci/cam decoding for encrypted channels (specifically on the twinhan card) was. As far as I could decipher from lurking on the list, the pmt stuff needed a rewrite (done by Olvind ?), and then some other steps were needed in order to get a proper decryption of the mpeg streams. On my own system about a month ago, with sources compiled from cvs, I was able to successfully get ca_zap to work (on some channels, others would cause a segfault), but the decrypted stream would be garbage. (This was on Foxtel in Australia with a legitimate red (irdeto 2 I think) Foxtel card). Has there been any progess on this front recently ? If I rebuild this driver and ca_zap from the latest cvs should I expect it to be able to successfully decrypt a stream ? Regards, Graeme Christie.

Calling the response to two reported sexual assaults by the same student inadequate, a group of students and a now former Framingham High School staffer protested outside the school on Wednesday.
Calling the response to two reported sexual assaults by the same student inadequate, a group of students and a now former Framingham High School staffer protested outside the school on Wednesday.
The participants said they picked Wednesday for their protest because Middlesex DA Gerry Leone was on hand with Framingham Police Chief Steven Carl to make a presentation to male students about preventing violence toward women.
"It's very hypocritical," said senior Alyssa Almeida, who was one of the approximately 25 protesting outside the A Street entrance. "It's a good cause and we support it, but it's hypocritical because they wouldn't prosecute the student who committed the sexual assault. It's frustrating and completely incorrect."
Almeida said she knows both the accused student, as well as the alleged victim of the second assault.
Almeida said Principal Michael Welch tried to convince the students not to picket at the entrance on Wednesday. He told them he had not heard about the sexual assaults, Almeida said.
However, Kevin Fox, a social worker at the high school, said Welch definitely knew about the incidents because he was the one who informed the principal.
Fox said the first assault occurred last April when a junior committed an indecent assault against a freshman girl in the school. The girl reported it to Fox two weeks later. Fox said he told Welch and reported it to the police.
The student was never charged, and Welch did not punish the student at that time.
A second assault happened against another girl, a junior, later in the school year. It was never reported to police, and the offending student was suspended for five days, Fox said.
The student was then allowed to play football in his senior year.
"I questioned him (Welch) about why the student was playing football," said Fox. "His immediate response was 'How public do you want to make this, Kevin."
Fox said the school failed to follow Title IX rules that require an investigation by the school into any sort of sexual assault. He said the school turned over the investigation to police and the Middlesex district attorney's office, but that does not satisfy the Title IX rules.
"I think Mike Welch wants to present a public image that he runs a pristine school," Fox said.
Fox said throughout this school year he called for an internal review of the district's policy about handling sexual assaults. Those calls went unanswered, and he said Welch tried to quiet him by filing a disciplinary note against him on an unrelated matter. Fox said he filed a grievance with the teacher's union, and it was overturned.
Fox said he resigned on Wednesday due to the inaction of the school administration.
"It was a difficult decision, but I feel like my professional moral integrity required it," Fox said.
Another senior, Peter Tosti, said when he heard about the assaults, which he said are well known at the school, he thought it "was beyond the pale of human decency," and an effort to protect athletes at the school.
He said he hopes the protest will let "the community know the scope of what happened."
"Almost everyone who has heard about what happened ... they're almost in disbelief something like that could happen," said Tosti. "The people who weren't outraged didn't believe it actually happened because something like that couldn't happen with the school covering it up."
In a statement, Leone did not address the protest, but said the sexual assault that was reported to his office in 2012 was not ignored.
"We conducted a comprehensive investigation, assessing the allegations against the well-established, very high prosecutorial standards of proof and persuasion that we apply to all criminal allegations," said Leone. "Based on that assessment, we determined that the matter would be closed without filing of criminal charges."
Leone would not specify the reasons.
Welch did not return calls or emails on Wednesday. Framingham Public School's Superintendent Stacy L. Scott also did not return several calls. Chief Carl said he could not comment.
The students said they are not giving up until there are changes on how things are handled at the school.
"We're not done," said Tosti. "We want to continue this. We want to change the culture where athletes think they're above the law."

Military, Public Service

Sikorsky Aircraft apparently has satisfied a Pentagon agency that it has an achievable plan for getting under control production problems that last year disrupted its H-60 lines, degraded quality of aircraft and parts and slowed provision of spare parts.
The Defense Contract Management Agency in mid-December said it had closed a formal complaint about quality-control problems at Sikorsky. The agency's representative at Sikorsky's Stratford, Conn. plant had warned the company's president, Jeff Pino, in late November 2006 that the company did not appear to act to correct problems pointed out in mid-2006.
The officer, U.S. Navy Capt. Dorothy Freer, said in the Nov. 22 letter that "quality is deteriorating, schedule is not getting better in the short term, and the seriousness of the errors... [is] becoming untenable." She said the root cause of the quality problems is the rapidity of Sikorsky's transfer of production to subcontractors "and its poor execution, along with the culture at Sikorsky."
Freer gave Pino until late December to come up with a plan for finally fixing those problems, issuing a Level 3 Corrective Action Request. The agency uses that warning to call attention to serious contractual non-compliance. It usually follows prior requests for corrective action that have been ineffective. It is said to be one step below the possible suspension of a contract.
The company plan that led the agency to close its complaint includes setting up a training program for employees at a Florida subcontractor, Crestview Aerospace, which assembles Black Hawks, to teach them Sikorsky's production system. Sikorsky also is reviewing its use of subcontractors in military aircraft production, which has increased significantly in recent years.
The problems seem to have led to changes in Sikorsky management. An executive with a key role in its response to the Pentagon complaints left the helicopter maker late last year. Tom Hutton left his post as senior vice president for operations to become vice president for global parts repair services at Pratt & Whitney, another unit of United Technologies Corp.
The problems also got the attention of UTC CEO George David. In mid-December, he said Sikorsky's production would not be back on schedule until at least mid-year. He said the problems stemmed from a 10-week strike in early 2006 that came as the company was trying to double production and rely more on subcontractors.

ATLANTA (AP) Los Angeles star Kobe Bryant severely sprained his left ankle after missing a game-tying shot in the closing seconds of a loss to the Atlanta Hawks.
The Lakers said he's out indefinitely, just as the team is pushing for a playoff spot after a miserable start.
The injury occurred Wednesday night after Bryant put up the baseline jumper with 3 seconds remaining. His left foot landed on defender Dahntay Jones' right foot, twisting awkwardly as Bryant crumpled to the court.
He remained down for a few seconds, then hobbled to the bench. Bryant seemed perturbed that he couldn't stay in the game, but he had to come out since the Lakers had no timeouts. Kyle Korver hit two free throws to clinch Atlanta's 96-92 win.
X-rays were negative.

Hi guys,
One of my friends has given up on non-twisters after seeing the branded sticks and shelved his hog. When I asked him about it he said neither he or his wife liked it and I told him I was sure I could find someone who'd want it. We agreed on $250 so after finally getting a chance to plug it in and make sure everything works as well as snap a quick photo I thought I'd offer it up here before putting it on [H] where I'm fairly certain it'll go quickly. It looks new, I didn't even find any scratches. Was told they used it in a couple games for a few hours and just didn't like not having a twist (blech).
He had the box and all the paperwork etc so it'll ship in the original box (packed in another box). If someone wants to buy it cost+shipping then I'll get it to you. If you're in the CONUS then it should be a piece of cake, I just want it tracked no matter what and then I'll ship it however else you'd prefer (ins, sig etc). Be warned, it's a big heavy box so I'd expect $20-$30 bucks shipping but I haven't checked yet. If you're outside the US, I have no idea what would need to happen to get it to you but I will try if you want to pay for the shipping.
Paypal/Amazon would be fine. Could work something else out but unless you're a common name in our thread or here then I'd prefer to get the payment first and will email or text the shipping receipt so you'll know. I didn't really shoot photos since it's all over the internet.
I'll put it up on [Hard] in a week or two. Shoot me a PM here and I'll exchange emails and phone numbers. If more than one person wants it, it'll go to whoever is GTG first.

The next great Star Wars LEGO adventure kicks off in February 2011, LucasArts has confirmed, bringing the plastic galactic battle into the Clone Wars era and adding a little real-time strategy to the series.
LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars from LucasArts and TT Games will combine the double licensing power of the Clone Wars animated series and LEGO bricks for another tongue-in-cheek adventure that spans 20 story-based missions and 40 bonus levels. Players can also command an entire battalion of Clone Troopers in plastic combat against Battle Droids, building bases, deploying vehicles and strategizing cutely.
To see what else The Clone Wars brings, read our impressions of LEGO Star Wars III from Gamescom.
The game was originally planned for release on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii, PC, DS, and PSP this fall, but a lot has changed at LucasArts. Expect the latest LEGO Star Wars adventure on February 15, 2011 in North America, February 18 in the UK.

One of my earliest memories of the south is visiting my relatives in Montgomery and filling a paper bag full of pecans. We were at the college where my Uncle worked (I think) and the pecans had fallen to the ground so we walked around and gathered them up. Thinking back, I really didn't appreciate the full value of this little adventure. Especially since I am paying about 6 or 8 dollars for a bag of pecans.
I also remember being impressed with the red dirt and how everyone's home is of bricks. My cousins told me that once my grandmother came down to visit from New York and made them grits and they didn't like grits. That always makes me laugh a bit.
We don't really have a lot of pecan trees here in North Carolina so I am not as fortunate to just wander through the park or yard and pick up pecans. I wonder if they can still do that in Montgomery?
Pecan pie happens to be Jim's favorite. I love it, too, especially around Thanksgiving. So, when it was just us this year, I knew this would be our dessert. I realized on Wednesday that I had no corn syrup, so I wanted to find a recipe without it. When I came across this pecan pie on Allrecipes.com, I knew it would be perfect.
I used the perfect pie crust from Simply Recipes and it turned out perfect again. I am not sure if it is just that I am getting used to making the crust or that this particular dough is so easy to work with, but I am not messing with a good thing:-). It's really yummy, too.
I loved this pie and let me tell you one thing. It is chock full of pecans. It's almost like eating a pie crust full of candied pecans. The brown sugar and butter filling turns into a wonderful caramel and it tastes like the real deal. You can actually see some of the caramel oozing out of the pie in the picture. I do like the versions with the corn syrup, but this is definitely a nice and different alternative.
I added some fresh whipped cream on top as well. It might be nice spiked with a touch of Bourbon, but since I knew little ones would be eating a lot of the cream, I thought that was probably not the best idea.
Pecan Pie
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup butter melted
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- In a large bowl beat eggs until pale and fluffy. Stir in melted butter.
- Add the sugars and flour and mix until combined. Lastly, add the milk, vanilla and nuts.
- Pour this mixture into an unbaked 9 inch pie crust. Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes and then reduce to 350 and bake an additional 30-40 minutes until done.

May is National Stroke Awareness Month
Valerie G-S
Thursday, July 17, 2014
By: Valerie Giglio -Samson
Hi, my name is Valerie. I was a professional singer and also a lawyer, and a proud voting member of the Grammy's. I'm 42 with no health issues. I'm always going full steam ahead, I had my own law firm and got accepted to Berklee summer jazz clinics in Umbria, Italy for the second time. I was psyched to go there in July. I booked everything. I decided that because I had no music degree, yet other degrees, including a J.D., that maybe I would apply to a Master's program for entry in fall of 2015. I wanted a formal music education. Life was perfect for me. My singing career was finally taking off. I walked the red carpet at the Grammy awards in L.A. in February, albeit as a guest, but I still walked it. I was happy. On June 1, 2014, I went to a hospital in the late afternoon after just a couple of days with neck pain. I just wanted to be sure it wasn't anything serious. I was told to go home and rest, that I maybe had slept the wrong way. I then went home and went to sleep. A couple of hours later, I awoke and saw double and had severe, crazy dizziness and couldn't move my left side. I could still speak and understand it all. However, my neck pain was apparently a bilateral dissected artery which formed a blood clot that traveled to my brain stem and then caused an ischemic stroke. I was rushed via ambulance to the hospital, but then taken to another hospital that eventually found the clot. I now have no singing voice, which was my biggest passion in life and something I'd worked so hard to achieve all these years, although I understand music, still read it, and remember every bit of it. I can do one handed piano chords. I can't be a lawyer for now. I've come to terms with that. Singing voice no way. Not a chance. Give it back the way it was, now!!!!! I went from having no left, in a bed, to a wheelchair and now just a single point cane and brace. Sometimes I cheat and walk around the house with no cane. I just came home from rehab in boston last week. I am determined to get it all back, and because stroke decided to do this to me, I want it back better than before for ruining my summer music plans and causing chaos in my life. My dizziness has lessened somewhat but I keep going, it won't stop me. I refuse to be anything less than what I was. I also fenced, the épée sword, for years, as well as danced for 22 years. My vision is normal now, no longer double. I can swallow and eat normally. I speak and understand normally, although I admittedly have little patience. I had that pre-stroke as well. I work hard every day to regain my left side. My face is normal now too, except only I can see a slightly higher eyebrow on one side. I look like a tourist because I wear a hat, rx sunglasses, and a fanny pack for my stuff when I leave the house. I attend outpatient therapies and take every opportunity to challenge myself. I will be normal again. I destroy stroke. You got that, stroke? You're destroyed. How dare you mess with me? Best and love to all. There is hope no matter what...just don't give up ever, and don't let it win. Valerie. Photo credit courtesy of Kristin gillis photography 2014.

It might have been only an Exhibition game, but it sure felt like Opening Night! You could feel the excitement--from fans, vendors, Twins staff, and I'm sure, the players themselves! The night that Twins fans had long waited for was finally here--outdoor baseball has returned to Minnesota! I thought about that stupid countdown we've sat through the past two seasons at the Metrodome...every game counting down to how games till baseball moved outdoors. Yes, I thought it was stupid! But now, well now, I can see that this stadium is living up to its' hype!
By the luck of the draw, we got tickets to the first exhibition game. At first, I had thought it would be best to go to Saturday's afternoon game--since it would be earlier in the day, it would be possibly warmer...Well, that may turn out to be the case (beautiful now on Saturday!)--Friday night it was cold and windy. Fortunately, the rain stayed away. But even if it had rained, I don't think it would have dampened the spirit of the fans there. It was something special being there that first night.
The crowd let out quite a cheer when the tarp was removed!
Like a good number of fans, we got there early to walk around and enjoy the concourse. I can't describe how much nicer it is than the Metrodome! As you walk around, you can easily look out to the field. The amount of space is incredible!
Here's a shot of the bullpen (each team will be side by side)--
Here's a shot of Section 325 (where we sit)--the third upper deck section from the right!
Don't let that fool you--the view of the field is still awesome! Baby, this place was built for baseball!
And they call them the "Skyline View" seats for a reason--
Part of the festivities of the night included honoring former Twins' Hall of Famers--Hrbek, Killebrew, Olivia, Carew, and of course, Puckett. They were all in attendance, excluding Pucket, who left us all too soon. And they seemed to be just as thrilled as the rest of us to see outdoor baseball return!
That jumbotron screen is incredible! I am going to enjoy sitting so close to it (it is just to our left over centerfield). It helps bring the action from down on the field to us, plus it acts as a great scoreboard!
Finally, it was time to play ball! Here's Morneau and Cuddy running onto the field for the first time! Yes, I know it's a blurry photo...but the wind was blowing so bad at the time that I couldn't hold my camera still!
It was an awesome game...one that it didn't really matter that we lost...it was about enjoying the game! Span was the hero--hitting the first triple and then the first homer. Jacque Jones was warmly received by the crowd--receiving a standing ovation when he came to bat. He was clearly moved by the fans' ovation.
And in the end, the sun struggled to come out for a bit--
Hubby, aka Curveballs, woke up this morning and said, "I want to go to ALL the baseball games at Target Field!"
I couldn't agree more!

St Mirren edged a seven-goal thriller at Tannadice, defeating Dundee United 4-3
St Mirren defeated Dundee United in a 4-3 thriller to move within a point of their hosts in the Scottish Premier League.
Last Updated: 30/12/12 7:30pm
After putting Saints ahead, Paul Dummett hauled down The Terrors' Jon Daly for a 43rd-minute penalty the striker converted, before Stuart Armstrong's long-range effort gave United a deserved half-time lead at Tannadice.
Errors littered the hosts' game, though, and ex-United striker Steven Thompson equalised with his fourth goal in three games before Brian McLean was sent-off.
Marc McAusland put the Buddies in front after 65 minutes and a rare David van Zanten goal after 78 minutes completed victory for the visitors, rendering Barry Douglas' 90th-minute free-kick mere consolation.
United were seeking a first win since the Dundee derby and started well.
Gavin Gunning twice went close with headers from corners by Willo Flood, while Johnny Russell also twice threatened.
Their defence was torn apart for the opener when Jon Robertson's cross-field ball found Gary Teale who skipped past Douglas and delivered a low cross which, through a forest of United defenders, left-back Dummett tucked in.
From the restart Russell shot wide across goal, then Craig Samson saved a curling Douglas free-kick before Flood departed, replaced after 26 minutes by Michael Gardyne after being on the receiving end of a couple of meaty tackles.
Daly went down after a wayward arm struck him in the face at a corner, but when the ball was sent in again by Douglas, Dummett hauled him over and referee Euan Norris pointed to the spot. Dummett was booked and Daly tucked in the penalty.
United were soon in front as an opportunistic 35-yard effort from Armstrong skipped off the muddy surface in front of goal and beat Samson, but their advantage evaporated five minutes into the second half as a poor Keith Watson pass was intercepted by Guy and Thompson placed the ball beneath Cierzniak.
Gardyne had an effort saved by Samson before the visitors struck again from a Teale free-kick, again benefiting from poor defending. The ball dropped amid a throng of tangerine jerseys and McAusland slammed it into the roof of the net.
United's woes increased as McLean was shown a straight red card for a reckless tackle on John McGinn before, 12 minutes from time, Teale passed towards Van Zanten who sent in a low cross and neither a United defender nor a Buddies attacker met the ball as it drifted across goal into the bottom corner.
There was a nervous conclusion for Saints as United won a free-kick on the edge of the box and Douglas nonchalantly curled it in in the final minute of normal time.

Which Step Am I On?
Where am I in my current situation?
An Art of the Question Blog
We're here to put a dent in the universe. Otherwise why else even be here?
– Steve Jobs
Sorry I've been away so long. You see, I recently started a new job. But I am getting ahead of myself. Perhaps a bit of background is in order here.
I have worked in the wireless industry for nearly 20 years. From early in my career, I was fortunate to be afforded the opportunity to move into disciplines outside my initial area of expertise. For example, I was hired as part of the accounting group. From there I went on to manage the State level financial analysis team. Later, I managed customer operations and currently I am part of the network engineering management team.
This movement has broadened my experience and expertise as a manager. It has also made me a stronger leader. It was a great way to give me a better understanding of the industry, the company and all its disciplines. At the same time, it gave the company good insight into my strengths and lesser strengths.
OK, now that we have that out of the way… recently I started a new job in yet another part of our company. As I have been working to get my arms around the new responsibilities, I was reminded about the Stairway to Competence.
In The Boss, I wrote about Dean, a young man who worked in a fast food joint. During his time there, he met The Boss, who became his mentor. The Boss taught him life lessons that revolutionized his thinking. Those lessons changed the way he looked at work. They changed the way he approached things that needed to be done. They changed how he interacted with other people. The time that Dean spent with The Boss put him on a new path that led to success in pretty much every area of his life.
One of the lessons Dean learned was the Stairway to Competence. The Boss taught Dean how a person grows when they start a new experience. The journey is defined in four steps: Confusion, Confirmation, Clarity and finally, Competence.
Confusion – When we begin a new job, a new hobby, a new process, a new – well, you get the picture – whenever we begin anything new, we start out on the first stair. It is called Confusion. In the Confusion stage, we don't know what to do. We don't know what questions to ask. We don't even know all the things we don't know! As we begin to understand the players, key points, actions, tasks, steps and other parts of the new assignment, we move to the next phase. That is the second step, called Confirmation.
Confirmation – As you can imagine, the first stair of Confusion is very humbling, especially if you have just left a job, situation or assignment in which you were at the top of your game. Maybe you have changed careers, or moved to a different role within your existing company. No matter what the reason, starting over is tough. That's what makes this second level of Confirmation such a key part of the process.
In the Confirmation stage, be patient with yourself. As the "newbie", you need frequent encouragement. When you do something right, it helps to have it affirmed. When you do something wrong, a gentle correction is in order. (As a manager, a good rule of thumb if you are working with someone in this stage is to complement them when they do the right thing, and gently guide them if they make a mistake). When we are on this stair, we know what we don't know because someone is telling us. The goal at this point is to build confidence to propel us to the next step. That stair is called Clarity.
Clarity– This is the stage where we begin to have a little spring in our step. We speak a little louder and with a little more confidence. We speak up in meetings. We offer input. We have begun to "connect the dots" and better understand the relationships between the things we are learning. Our growth at this point is accelerating.
In the Confusion stage we didn't always recognize what we needed to know. In the Confirmation stage we began to learn, but often the knowledge was "piecemeal", without a full context. It is in the Clarity stage that these disparate pieces of information begin to coalesce. We begin to put the puzzle together. Things become clearer and our confidence grows along with our understanding. We know what we know if we think about it.
The Four Stairs
Competence– As the pieces come together in the Clarity stage, we fill in the gaps. Our knowledge increases and we move more fluidly through the task, the job or whatever we are doing. Ultimately we reach the top stair, the final stage of Competence. At this level, most of our responses are intuitive.
In the Confusion stage we lacked understanding, in the Confirmation stage we understood if someone gave us direction. In the Clarity stage we had a grasp on the knowledge, but still had to think carefully through the steps. But the Competence stage is intuitive knowledge. Our experience and familiarity help us to move more quickly and accurately through the decisions and actions necessary to do the job at hand.
Here is the challenge. During each stage we have to push to make it to the next stair. We can't settle, can't idle. If we aren't growing, we are dying. An old German proverb says, "When I rest, I rust."
We need a wholesome discipline to ensure we are grounded. We need rest and relaxation. We need emotional, spiritual, physical and intellectual balance. As Solomon put it, to everything there is a season. The foundation provided by our balance will help propel us to the next level.
Steve Jobs urged the team at Apple to "put a dent in the universe". That is good advice for each of us. Remember, no matter what step you are currently on, the next one is there waiting. Over the course of our career and our life we climb many stairs. The process repeats itself over and over as we move to new jobs, new relationships, new companies and even new careers. Each thing we learn is a stepping stone to the next thing we need to know. Each stair we climb brings us closer to fulfilling our dreams and our destiny.
So go make your dent.

On Wednesday, four days after the HMNS Snow Flurry event, it was chilly and wet outside. I was snug in my office with a mug of cocoa and a toasty warm computer monitor when I heard a ridiculous story that we were supposed to see naturally falling snow by that evening. I naturally accused the bearer of this news of hopeful invention, if not outright lying, then checked a weather website and saw indications for 'rain or snow showers' that evening, but still I didn't believe we would see anything interesting. "It will all melt on the way down — it's not even supposed to get below freezing tonight!"
But of course I was wrong and we had the first snow Houston has had this early in the season since 1944! Allison took these pictures:
So what conditions do you need to form snow? Well, if you have the right lab and a research budget, you could grow snow crystals indoors! ('Snowflakes' can refer to individual crystals or (often) to agglomerations or clumps of many, many snow crystals.) If you need larger quantities, you can always create your own snow like ski resorts, but you still need much colder conditions than we usually have. Most of us, however, must wait for suitable weather conditions.
Need immediate gratification? You can always resort to making decorative paper snowflakes, or try a more high-tech option.
We may not see snow again this year, but if you're curious about who else might be getting it soon, check out this 24-hour snow forecast map. Or see if your holiday travels will bring you a White Christmas.

Questions to Ask Yourself Before Making A Donation
From identity theft and tax fraud to criminals finding ways to hack into your company's network, we are learning every day that it's simply not safe to let your guard down – for anyone or anything. Unfortunately, that mindset should apply when you are considering gifting a charitable donation as well.
Some fraudsters, in an attempt to prey on the generosity of strangers, have begun to solicit funds for fake charities particularly during and immediately after tax season. But you can shut down these scams by asking yourself these critical questions.
Read also: Join The Fight Against Identity Theft & Income Tax Fraud
Is this the charity I know and love or is it a spin off?
We are a sucker for the brands we know and love, and criminals will invoke similar names, attributes, branding to trip you up and get you to write that check. Even if you are 99 percent certain the check you are about to write will go to a well-respected nonprofit organization, it makes since to conduct a quick search online to remove all doubt. Two resources to consider are:
- The Exempt Organization Select Check Tool – this search tool is designed to help you determine the legitimacy of the not-for-profit in question by providing users with information about the organization's federal tax status and filings.
- Guidestar – this online resource is great for users who want to find out about the validity of tax-exempt organizations as well as other faith-based nonprofits, community foundations and other groups that are typically not required to register with the IRS.
Do nonprofit organizations ask for personal information?
Don't make it easy for a fraudster to steal your identity by willingly providing them with your Social Security Number. Legitimate nonprofit organizations will never need your SSN to complete a transaction and they should never need to retain any of your personal information for their records – this includes passwords.
Should my donation be in the form of a check or is it OK to give cash?
Yes! For your own security, and tax purposes, be sure to establish a paper trail. The best way to do this is to avoid making any type of cash donations. Instead, every time you give money to a charity, consider using a check or credit card to establish proof of the transaction. Not only is it important to establish a paper trail as a safety measure, it will help you when to go to claim the contribution on next year's tax return.
I'm still not sure if it's a valid nonprofit organization?
If the questions above don't provide you with the reassurance you need, reach out to a trusted advisor who can help you identify whether a particular charitable organization is reputable or not while giving you pointers to help you protect your hard-earned dollars as well as your identity.

Of the film adaptations of books slated to be released in the next few months and into next year, however, these are the film versions of books we can't wait to see. (We know that Fifty Shades of Grey is being made into a film, but haven't we all had enough of that already?) So if you're someone who likes to read the book before seeing the movie, here are our best bets.

Taoyuan City Apartment by Peny Hsieh Interiors
This inspiring apartment located in Taoyuan City, Taiwan, has been designed in 2018 by Peny Hsieh Interiors.
In silence, the slight flow of space can be perceived: the facade is without the order, five-colored floor rises and falls with a little noise, and the ceiling is ripped through the direct curve. The vividness of leisure is demonstrated in the colors and materials of natural minerals, reaching relaxing breaths and coordination. Through the gray lights, more tiny pores can be seen. They are now far and quiet, breathing deeply and joyfully.
The cut of building mass and a style of geometric sculpture make the body feel a confortable and peaceful design in the living area with a low-Chroma color, gray. It makes us feel the heaviness of building mass lighter. The groove design or hanging design makes you feel the relaxation of the living area. By adopting curves and lines, soft space expressions, the crunch problem of narrow long room is solved and brings living feelings alive. When walking into the private room area, you can notice the delicate black iron window that shows the contour of spatial fashion and cleanness and also defines the different outside and inside prospects. The supplementary arc iron flowers spread the terminology of new art.

WARNING: Due to extremely high TV demand, there is limited supply of Primaliftskin in stock as of . HURRY!
Apply our specially designed formula underneath your layer of makeup and feel it seep deep into your skin, working instantly and continuously to improve the feel of the texture of your skin.
Primalift works to restore the appearance of youthful skin, all you have to do is look in the mirror!
The signs of premature aging can be precipitated by many different components, the most prominent being environmental factors such as exposure to the UV rays of the sun, damage from free radicals in the air caused by toxic pollution, the stress of everyday life, and cigarette smoking.
These factors can hasten your skin's natural process of aging, which can result in wrinkles, discoloration and the loosening of the skin.
However, our scientifically engineered formula can help offset the effects of this phenomenon by encouraging your skin to retain its youthful moisture and elasticity.
It penetrates deep into the sub-dermal layers of your skin, helping to stimulate your skin cells into contracting and appearing to pull closer together. This shrinks the look of pores and evens out the impression created by the overall texture of your skin.
It naturally hydrates you skin and aids in natural collagen synthesis and production, giving your skin a boost and the appearance of a youthful glow.
It inclined to zone in on the areas of your skin which have lost the most elasticity, basically tightening and stimulating your skin's natural capacity to repair it's own DNA.
All ingredients are natural and are created to be gentle on the skin.
A potent blend of vitamins, minerals, and moisturizers specially designed to offset the effects of aging.
Contains collagen to help stimulate the production of new skin cells.
Encapsulates peptides which can further advance the firming of the skin.

North Country Boats and Boating Collection
North Country Boats and Boating Collection
The North Country is that region of New York State north of the Mohawk and south of the St. Lawrence Rivers, east of Lake Ontario and west of Lake Champlain. It includes the Adirondack Park, the Tug Hill Plateau, the Thousand Islands, and the St. Lawrence River Valley. Within this area are over 2700 lakes, dozens of rivers, and thousands of ponds, streams and brooks. From the earliest times of human habitation boats have played an important role in the history, early settlement, and later development of this region.
This ongoing collection seeks to document the activities of boat builders and boaters; both recreational and commercial. Specific emphasis is given to non-power craft, including canoes, kayaks, guide boats, skiffs, and sail boats, although power craft are not excluded.

The west seems to love fast moving disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, and hurricanes. Slow moving crisis such as hunger on the Horn of Africa or the Sahel goes mostly ignored.
Views: 84
your title's qualifier "Spielbergesque" sorta answers why. you can make a movie about them, play with cgi/prop toys.
you have the ability to not blame anyone for that disaster. who do u blame earthquakes on? you can highlight heroes without having to worry about any foes. good and evil...except its "oops" and good.
hunger for example...well nothing you can make a movie script about, and when you ask "why", you get a terribly ugly answer no one wants to listen to...and maybe even human beings can be pointed at to be the "Fault". there is no fast moving famine, no blazing hero of justice or compassion....
as far as news focus, same thing. for some reason a story that is just depressing with no easy "Fix" or path to recovery is simply...well its depressing with no facts or points of view to pivot on to interest people with something dramatic or poignant.
ever discuss your point of view with a group of people and depress them, watch their eyes glass over and change the subject to something "lighter"? in media thats called changing the channel/moving on.
i have no idea, but i am tired of seeing things that are "too depressing" being ignored simply to avoid making the self involved person "sad" :(
I think the 60's movie 'Farenheit 451', was a good example of this mind set. Everything reminding us of the ugly, cruel, mean, dirty, scary, unequal, etc part of 'reality' are deleted, including books. Knowledge is controled by the state, 'for your own good'. Education is by memorization. Entertainment has been homogenized. Anything that could make you 'dissatisfied' is controled to maintain a stable socialization and acceptance of the statis qou.
I think quick-happening catastrophes have a way of engulfing us and offer an end in sight. Their urgency is intense and can hardly be ignored. When it happens slowly, well let's consider the example of the frog and the cooking pot.
If you heat an inch of water in a stew pot and heat it till it's very warm to the touch, then drop a live frog in it, the frog will quickly hop out. If you put it in a pot of cool water and slowly raise the temperature, the frog will slowly cook to death. (I've heard this example many times and really don't know if it's true, but let's assume it is.)
A more practical example: Nuclear accidents happen very seldom. However, many people are very fearful of nuclear accidents and so it's very difficult to site and build any more of them. In the meantime, we are slowly killing our planet with fossil fuels, including coal used in power plants. The smoke generated by these plants contributes to killing people as well. We really need cleaner energy and nuclear energy done right can be considerably cleaner, but as long as there are the occasional disasters, our fears will be fed and we will do our best to prevent the construction of nuclear plants, relying instead on the coal which is slowly killing the planet.

admin. Interior Design. November 18th , 2017.
A desk pad, which is also known as a blotter, refers to a table protector that is used during work, such as writing or painting, which would otherwise damage the desk or table. There are many different choices for blotter for specific purposes or uses you desire, such as black velour pad for Chinese calligraphy or desk pad calendar to eliminate the need for using a desk calendar on a relatively smaller desk. Typically, desk pads are glued at the bottom of the pad to keep the paper from curling. Many are also glued to a backboard.
When you are buying desk pad, there are many options to consider aside from how you wish to use it. As for today, we will focus on the choice of material. The leather desk pad appears to be the most popular one, but it can be available in several options too. For example, there are classic leather desk pads that are made from high quality raw hides. With no sanding to remove any imperfections, this leather blotter is typically thick and durable.
On the other hand, there is distressed leather desk pad with beautiful antique look. It is because of the precision dyeing process that took place before the leather is hand distressed for unique gradients on each hide's surface. The worn-in and matte finish has a unique appearance and may be available in several color options. Last but not least, there is also glazed leather desk pad with full grain showing a shiny finish, in addition to rich, deep patterns and colors.
Other material options for desk pad also include vinyl. Vinyl blotters show a matter surface with a unique grain that mimics leather beautifully. They are recommended for you who want to enjoy the beauty of leather look without spending more money. Vinyl blotters are also available in many different options of pattern and texture, and usually comfortable to the touch. Cleaning vinyl blotters is easy, with only warm water and a little soap to use.
Last but not least there is linoleum desk pad that is made from all natural material, especially renewable one.
Antibacterial, extremely hygienic, and biodegradable, linoleum blotters provide an environmentally friendly option that can improve your quality life at the same time. The surface doesn't show or absorb oil from handprints and is engineered to keep the presence of scratches to minimum. Linoleum blotter is heat resistant as well.
