US Department of Justice findings related to the Central Virginia Training Center
February 12, 2011
DOJ Letter re Central Virginia Training Center (1,718KB) [download]
The US Department of Justice (DOJ) issued a letter to Virginia Governor McDonnell regarding findings from their investigation of the Commonwealth of Virginia's compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and of Central Virginia Training Center. The DOJ found Virginia in violation of the ADA by failing to provide services to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities in the most integrated settings appropriate to their needs, resulting in unnecessary and prolonged segregation in institutional facilities. The DOJ report indicated these violations were evidenced by the Commonwealth's failure to develop a sufficient quantity of community-based alternatives to institutions, failure to use available resources for such settings, absence of an inadequate discharge planning process, as well as the absence of services intended to prevent admission of individuals to training centers during periods of crisis.

Sometimes I just think and believe it in my very bones, that nothing, absolutely nothing that surrounds me is real. My memories seem so fake, as if someone planted them in my head this very morning. I used to be a little child being happy when my dad brought me chocolate after he came back from work, and so extremely sad for the loss of a coffee cup, I accidentally broke. I remember when I used to be so happy in the end of the year time, with Christmas and this incredible Santa Claus films coming up, believing so badly that Santa must exist, while knowing that he doesn't. I used to be so happy and couldn't wait to use my gifts, and to be fresh and new from the January 1st. I can remember the smell of roses in the pages of my first diary that was given to me in the New Years of so many and many years ago. And the contest to stay up the latest, because the New Years was the only night we could stay up as much as we wanted. And watching so many movies on the telly the very next day. And the funny sketches put on for our family pleasure that very night waiting for the New Year. And the ample table with the best foods and the best drinks to make us fuller than ever. And the family sitting all together eating the leftovers on January 1st in the morning, near noon time. And the house so clean and beautiful with the Christmas decorations, and best tablecloths and carpets reserved only for that time of the year. Oh those memories, are they really mine? I feel as if I saw them in a film some time ago, but mine they do not feel at all.
People I loved, I've kissed, I've laid with, were they really real, because it really feels as if they never ever were in my life, but in a Dark City kind of conspiracy they were implanted on me this very morning. I don't feel a thing, nothing at all. I am here, the most bored I've ever been in my entire life, for the first time feeling nothing but nothingness, expecting the new year without expectations, knowing that it will all be shitty just the same, that poor children will still be dying of cold and hunger, and junkies, and alcoholics, and sick people, and poor people will be discriminated against just the same, and there will still be wars, and still teenagers killing themselves for them, and there will still be fucking politicians breeding us for the next election and/or war just like cattle, and there will be religious people using religion to feel better than others, and hate and discriminate and torture their brothers, and there will be haters, and there will be sickness, and there will be death, and there will be Nicki Minajes and there will be crappy films that make so much money at the box office, and there will be crappy books read, and good books unread, and people going number and number in the TV and internet era, forgetting about love and emotions, going numb with the latest technology, going robotic, Orwell fashion, and there will be just pain, and numbness which is worst than pain.
Fuck it all, I'm just sitting here knowing that the next year will be just as fucked up as this one was. Knowing that there will be no more humanity and we're losing it all every time a new Apple product comes out, and every time a new shitty film and artist makes billions and trillions. And we're sitting here thinking how we just escaped another apocalypse while I think we're all floating heads in a bleak universe and some genies are sucking our blood dry as we are hypnotized by the new marketed sensation. And I'm sitting here thinking how much we have devolved. How there is so much sex but no love. How not even drugs or alcohol can do the trick anymore to create an illusion that we're humans. We're not humans at all. We're just robots being created one by one, androids for the next generation's war, and the next generation poisoned breed. We pass the poison from blood to blood, and we don't even see this virus that has killed the homo sapiens in us. A next beer, a next hangover, a next apple product, and a next child dying from starvation, and we don't feel it, or know it. Heroin is our little youtube videos, and films, and natural pastimes that make us forget the reality of the pain within us and outside of us.
And I'm sitting here thinking what's next knowing how my soul is turned to gangrene little by little, feeling the cancer multiply and take little by little what's left of my ability to feel. As I was a child once, but I don't remember, and I don't even think that there are children today. We killed the child in the child and the child in ourselves. We who? The society, the governments, aliens, who fucking cares, conspiracy theories they are all bullshit. Does it matter where the evil comes from, when the true problem is that it has already well implanted itself on our very blood, on our DNA and it multiplies like spores. It's poison this reality we built for ourselves of fake friendships and material loves. Everything is marketable, even your mother and father that brought you to this fucked up hell of an earth. Everything is for sale, everything can have a cute little label of advertising on it, as long as you sell another piece of your soul to get it. You think the 70s youth was poisoned with drugs? Heroin and cocaine and LSD and whatever was passing out for a cure back then, in the era of "Make love not war", while passing on the weed, while leaving the events happens as they would, all those poisons were nothing in comparison to the fat, gangrenous, cancerous, fake sugared poisons of a consumerist life we live today. Bits and pieces of decaying skin and bones fall out from our burned out souls. In the conveyer line of meaningless jobs, we fill up the visas in one stop and go piss it all in the toilet of some new Walmart or Apple Store. We're worse than the decadent era, or the Lost Generation, we're worse than our Communist robotized parents. We are so convinced of our freedom of choice, but as George Carlin said, to paraphrase, is that we have so many choices for things that do not matter when nothing is left on us to decide on things that do. We're dying out as a race. An evil witch is feeding us with candy while warming up the stove where she will cook us crispy. We're food, and we are willingly going towards the wolf's mouth.
And as I'm sitting here, listening to music nobody ever listens to anymore, at least in this shitty place where I live in they try to call a town, I'm sure nobody will ever listen, nobody will ever care, nobody will ever read, the last laments and rage and rants of the last romantic burned out and lost and decayed, waiting for the final years of running against the Nazi line, trying not to get caught as much in the spider net, trying to escape knowing that the end is near. I know we all have too much to lose, too much candy in our teeth to see the stove burning our sister and brother next to us. Pupils shrinking as a last shot of the buy or die heroin spikes into our veins, as poetic Lou would say, we become corpses, zombies walking on this earth as a very bitter memory of what we used to be, of what we could have been. We are the men and women who sold the world, that is what our generation will be remembered as.
As our tables are ample with foods and drinks and joy of more stuff we do not actually need maybe some of us feel guilty enough to give a little something to that little beggar, or give gift cards for a charity to our friends instead of a present, knowing very well that the very next day we'll go about our business. All new shiny technology we live today, a cure for the sickness of our earth, we used it all to satisfy our endless greed, and numb our humanity. The earth is less than half a glass empty. And as I am sitting here decaying just the same I contemplate about the last years of humanity on Earth, I contemplate about our generation, that will be known as the last link of evolution, the generation that could have had it all, but it sold itself for the last shot of poison, the generation that atrophied, the generation that overdosed the human out of us. I contemplate about the end of days, not in the biblical sense, in a much worse way. Well you wanted your Zombie apocalypse Internet Dudes, but the damn thing is here, it's been here for quite some time with us. We are the generation of the apocalypse of the human soul. Humanism is dead. This is the end, my only friend, the end…

I recently heard a marketing executive talk about the art of persuasion. The person emphasized the need to convince customers why they need their product. For me personally, it felt as if we were trying to trick people.
Persuasion is only necessary if one or more of the following occurs:
1. Your business level strategy is unknown or there is misalignment.
2. Your products and services do not provide value.
3. Your competitive position is weakening or changing customer needs are making you irrelevant.
In sum, using persuasion is only needed if the business has failed at its primary responsibility, which is to create a relevant and sustainable value proposition in the marketplace.
Let's banish persuasion with a shift in mindset towards a Total Customer Experience.

Each day new technologies are integrated into our lives in an effort to simplify, automate, supplement, and ultimately improve how we operate. This integration of technology in our day-to-day lives is a shift that requires devices – computers, tablets, PVR's, appliances, etc. – are capable of communicating with one another, and you, to function properly. To effectively communicate with one another, devices must be connected to networks that allow them to quickly transfer information back and forth. As these devices' ability to communicate increases, so do the technical requirements to transfer data; quickly obsoleting our existing technologies. As copper connections become outdated, people should consider upgrading to a fibre-optic connection. Fibre-optics use thin strands of glass to transport data in the form of light. It is more reliable, and capable of transporting far greater amounts of data, or "bandwidth", than traditional copper wiring.
For many people, the term fibre-optics is synonymous with internet, due to the high bandwidth it can offer. However, to simply use the technology for just internet would be similar to using an oven for just the timer. Through fibre-optics a breadth of different services can be offered to end-users. In addition to superior internet, the increase, in bandwidth from fibre-networks allows people to have access to television, home phone, countless applications, smart homes, eHealth, and many more features not possible using the traditional copper infrastructure.
The eHealth technology can offer a variety of services to residents connected to a fibre-network. For seniors, devices can be installed into their homes to monitor their health daily – blood pressure cuffs, SPO2 sensors, heart rate monitors – and instantly be uploaded to be checked by their local physician. Additionally, buttons can be installed in the home that require residents to check-in a predetermined times, to avoid issues where they may have a problem, such as a fall, that goes undiscovered for days. It can greatly increase seniors' independence, and health, and lower the need for assisted living.
Smart homes that have a fibre-connection have the capability to improve the resident's lives drastically; from having thermostats that can sense when you are home, automatically adjusting the temperature to what your preference is, to telling you the amount of electricity or water your household is using in real-time displays. Homeowners can save money, maintain their homes, and live much more comfortably as they install these technologies.
As end-users begin adopting more and more technology into their lives, the option of having a connection to high bandwidth in your home is vanishing. Similar to other essentials many of us cannot imagine living without in our modern world – running water, gas, electricity – bandwidth is joining their ranks. It has become the newest form of utility, and living without it ultimately limits ones' connection to the world. In order to continue to work, live, learn, and play in our evolving world, people need the bandwidth that can service their growing needs. Connecting to a fibre-network will meet their requirements today and long into the future.

Established in 1978
Alternating Current. The type of electrical power which normally is supplied from a wall outlet.
Adjustable Countersink
A device that cuts the recess for screw heads and threads. It has a drill bit or knife blade for cutting the recess for the screw thread whose length adjusts to the length of the screw head.
A mechanical media termination device designed to align and join fiber optic connectors. Often referred to as coupling, bulkhead, or interconnect sleeve
Adjustable Wrench
A wrench that has an adjustable head to fit various sizes of nuts and bolts. Some adjustable wrenches feature a locking mechanism to prevent slippage.
Aramid Yarn
Strength elements that provide tensile strength, support and additional protection of the fiber bundles. Kevlar® is a particular brand of aramid yarn.
Additional protective element beneath outer jacket to provide protection against severe outdoor environments. Usually made of plastic-coated steel, it may be corrugated for flexibility.
The decrease in magnitude of power of a signal in transmission between points. A term used for expressing the total loss of an optical system, normally measured in decibels (dB) at a specific wavelength.
Attenuation Coefficient
The rate of optical power loss with respect to distance along the fiber, usually measured in decibels per kilometer (dB/km) at a specific wavelength. The lower the number, the better the fiber's attenuation. Typical multimode wavelengths are 850 and 1300 nanometers (nm); single mode wavelengths are 1310 and 1550 nm.
Alternate Top Bevel (ATB)
Refers to a type of saw blade in which the grinds give the cleanest crosscuts in hard and soft wood or plywood.
A measure of the amount of current a tool uses. Higher ratings generally means the tool is suited for heavier use.
Anti-stick Coating
As used on saw blades, decreases friction and heat buildup and helps provide cleaner, smoother and quieter cutting action. Also resists resin and pitch buildup and improves safety conditions.
Anti-vibration Slots
slots cut in the body of a saw blade, usually in a starburst pattern, that reduce vibration so the blade runs more smoothly and produce a cleaner cut.
A shaft driven by a tool's motor that turns blades or other cutting tools. Also called a mandrel.
Arbor Hole
The central hole in a saw blade through which the saw arbor fits. This hole must be accurately broached or the blade cuts will waver.
Auger Bit
A long, 7" to 10" bit typically used with a brace for drilling holes in wood. An auger bit bores a faster, cleaner hole because of its screw point and spur design.
Aviation Snips
Snips used to cut straight or curved lines. They are generally used for heating, air conditioning, gutter work, and general industrial use. Aviation snips are available in right- or left-handed styles.
Backbone Cabling
The portion of premises telecommunications cabling that provides connections between telecommunications closets, equipment rooms, and entrance facilities. The backbone cabling consists of the transmission media (optical fiber cable), main and intermediate cross-connects, and terminations for the horizontal cross-connect, equipment rooms, and entrance facilities. The backbone cabling can further be classified as interbuilding backbone (cabling between buildings), or intrabuilding backbone (cabling within a building).
Measure of the information-carrying capacity of an optical fiber Note: This term is often used to specify the normalized modal bandwidth (MHz-km) of a multimode fiber.
Bandwidth Distance Product
The information-carrying capacity of a transmission medium is normally referred to in units of MHz-km. This is called the bandwidth-distance product or, more commonly, bandwidth. The amount of information that can be transmitted over any medium changes according to distance.
Bar Clamp/Spreader
A variation of the C-clamp with a disconnecting sliding jaw that allows the user to reverse the clamp and use it as a spreader.
Barrier Tape
Non-adhesive tape used to mark dangerous areas. The tapes have imprints such as "POLICE LINE-DO NOT CROSS" or "DANGER-DO NOT ENTER."
Bi-metal Utility Blades
As the name implies, bi-metal blades are produced through a patented process of combining two types of metal, each with its own attributes and benefits. The first is Spring Steel, which provides flexibility to the blade, resulting in a blade that will not break under normal work conditions. The second metal, High-Speed Steel, delivers a hardened cutting edge that stays sharp longer than traditional carbon blades.
A drill point that has a variety of uses with braces and drills. Each bit is designed for a specific application such as masonry, wood, steel, or other materials.
Blade Diameter
The measurement of a saw blade measured on the extreme outside edge of two opposite tips. Larger diameter blades can accommodate more teeth for smoother cuts.
Beats Per Minute. A measure of the frequency of the hammering action of a hammerdrill or rotary hammer
Brad Point Bit
A drill bit used for precision drilling in wood. Designed for boring exact size holes for a clean, finished look that is required in doweling, cabinetry, and other fine woodworking.
Short for British Standard Pipe.
A protective material extruded directly on the fiber coating to protect it from the environment (tight-buffered).
Buffer Tubes
Extruded cylindrical tubes covering optical fiber(s) used for protection and isolation. See Loose Tube.
Many individual fibers contained within a single jacket or buffer tube. Also, a group of buffered fibers distinguished in some fashion from another group in the same cable core.
An assembly of optical fibers and other material providing mechanical and environmental protection.
Cable Assembly
Optical fiber cable that has connectors installed on one or both ends. General use of these cable assemblies includes the interconnection of optical fiber cable systems and opto-electronic equipment. If connectors are attached to only one end of a cable, it is known as a pigtail. If connectors are attached to both ends, it is known as a jumper or patchcord.
Cable Bend Radius
Cable bend radius during installation infers that the cable is experiencing a tensile load. Free bend infers a smaller allowable bend radius since it is at a condition of no load.
Carbide alloy is composed of Cobalt and Tungsten. This alloy gives saw blades and router bits longer lasting tips, sharper cutting edges, and greater impact resistance.
Carbide Hole Cutter
a drill bit designed specifically for the fast, easy production of holes in thin material. Carbide cutters are used primarily for use with mild steels like those found in electrical enclosures as well as stainless steel.
Carbide Teeth
Specially treated tungsten carbide teeth on a saw blade that provide superior cutting performance.
Carpenter's Pencil
Rectangular shaped pencil, about 1/4" X 1/2", with a 1/16" X 3/16" lead.
A clamp with a C-shaped frame and an adjustable screw used for holding objects in place or together.
Central Member
The center component of a cable. It serves as an antibuckling element to resist temperature-induced stresses. Sometimes serves as a strength element. The central member material is either steel, fiberglass, or glass-reinforced plastic.
Cubic Feet per Minute. A measure of the usage of air from an air compressor. The higher this number is on a tool, the more frequently the compressor will need to run to keep the tool going.
The grinding threads at the tip of a tap that are angled in order to allow the tap to pass through a hole. Also a beveled edge on the corner of a board, technically one of 45 degrees.
A clamping device at the end of a power drill for holding a drill bit.
Chisel Point
A point on staples that makes the legs sink in straight as the staple is driven into a material.
The part of a drill which holds the bits in place.
Circular Saw
A portable, heavy-duty cutting tool that works well on a variety of projects, from framing a wood or metal building to rough metal fabrication work. Ideal for cutting, cleaning and slotting of all types of metal and masonry. A circular saw does not have a built-in cutting guide and requires a hand-held guide, so it is generally used for rough cutting. Some models come with electric brakes and a quick depth adjustment for a more accurate cut. Maximum HP is around 2.5 with no-load speeds up to 5,000 RPM.
The material surrounding the core of an optical waveguide. The cladding must have a lower index of refraction to keep the light in the core.
A versatile tool that serves as a temporary device for holding work securely in place. Used for many applications including carpentry, woodworking, furniture making, welding, construction, and metalworking.
Clipped Head
Nails collated in 28 degree or 30-33 degree strips have a notch in the head that allows for each individual nail to be driven efficiently, despite the angle and tightness of the collation. This notch makes little practical difference in holding power.
A material put on a fiber during the drawing process to protect it from the environment and handling.
Cobalt HSS
In drill bits, a special high-speed steel blended with a significant percentage of cobalt. Cobalt adds hardness and abrasion qualities plus superior resistance to heat. Typically used for extra-tough or production drilling.
Fasteners which are bound together for use in automatic firing mechanisms. All staples are collated, but only specific nails and screws are collated.
Composite Cable
A cable containing both fiber and copper media per article 770 of the National Electrical Code (NEC).
Compound Cut
An angled cut to both the edge and face of a board.
Compound leverage snips

(WECT) - More than half of those people diagnosed with cancer undergo chemotherapy, which can often leave them with painful side effects.
Now, scientists are taking a much smaller, but more powerful approach to targeting the deadly disease.
Researchers are working on finding a more targeted way to get drugs for cancer to areas of the body where they are needed most.
Their goal is to reduce the amount of drugs that go to other areas and prevent unintended injury or side effects.
Valerie Buchanan never thought she'd be one of the 200,000 women every year who get breast cancer.
She acted aggressively when she found out and had a double mastectomy and chemotherapy. The grueling battle included side effects like nausea, weight gain, and exhaustion.
Chemotherapy drugs kill cancerous cells and healthy ones, but researchers are using nanotechnology to design a better plan of attack.
"Nanotechnology is a way to provide what we call targeted delivery of those drugs," said Dr. Mauro Ferrari.
Ferrari is testing a new drug delivery system to target cancer.
Nanocarriers 100 times smaller than a strand of hair are injected into the blood stream. They travel to harmful cells where they release drugs.
"What we are trying to do is making sure that every drop of molecule, of drug injected into patients makes it to the cancer and none of it gets spilled and does damage in places that it is not supposed to touch," said Ferrari.
Ferrari hopes his nanotechnology can be used one day to treat heart disease, hemorrhaging, and other conditions that affect blood vessels.

BACKGROUND: Nanotechnology involves working on an atomic or molecular scale to create materials or devices that are 100 nanometers in size or smaller. One nanometer is a billionth of a meter. Nanomedicine is an offspring of nanotechnology, but it's a field specific to medical intervention. Nanomedicine is thought to be an area of research that will enable many diseases and conditions that limit the human life expectancy to be wiped out.
A BETTER DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEM: Researchers at the NanoMedicine Research Center at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston are working on a new more targeted way to get drugs for cancer and other diseases to areas of the body they're needed most. Their goal is to reduce the amount of drugs that go to other areas and prevent unintended injury, or side effects. With what's available in today's medical community, only a small fraction of an injected drug reaches its intended target. If too much drug is administered to a patient, it can hurt them, but if too little is given, there is no benefit. The new system could one day allow doctors to achieve optimal results with less medication.
The nanoscale drug delivery system is a multi-stage technique. Nanocarriers 100 times smaller than a strand of hair are guided through the blood system to diseased cells. Once they reach the cells, they release diagnostic agents, medicine, or both. In the first stage of the approach, nanocarriers go to the inner wall of blood vessels, near the unwanted cells. As those anocarriers degrade they release a second stage of more tiny nanoparticles that can penetrate the blood vessel wall to get inside the diseased cells. The third stage of the system involves the release of medications to kill the tumor and other agents that take images of it. The nanocarriers are made of silicon, which is fully biodegradable so it won't injure the body.
Researchers are especially interested in using this upcoming technology to fight breast cancer. Preclinical tests are focusing on that application, which is currently being tested on animals that have human tumors. It is also hoped that the application can one day be used to treat heart disease, hemorrhaging and other diseases that affect blood vessels.
NANOTECHNOLOGY ABROAD: Using magnetic power, researchers in Berlin have found a way to use tiny particles of iron to fight brain tumors and prostate cancer. A clinical trial of their technology showed magnetic nanoparticles can be safely administered to humans and will produce localized tumor-killing temperatures when stimulated by an oscillating magnetic field. Investigators inject magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles directly into a patient's tumors. They then used a magnetic field to excite the nanoparticles, which produces heat, killing the tumor cells. Each treatment lasted one hour and was repeated weekly for six weeks. Patients reported discomfort caused by internal heating, but using tubes of cooled liquid keeps the skin cool enough to manage this side effect. The trial was too small to say this treatment is more effective than current treatments, though researchers did note eight of 10 patients experienced a decline in prostate specific antigen levels that lasted an average of 4.5 months after therapy.

Bumping Moulin Rouge
Aussie Film To Be Released at Later Date
Wondering how the musical Moulin Rouge, from outrageous Aussie director Baz Luhrmann, would fare in this year's Oscar race?
The film, which Luhrmann is boldly calling "a reinvention of the musical form," has been bumped from a holiday 2000 release to summer 2001, Variety reports.
Citing the usual need to take extra pains in the post-production process — rather than, say, cold feet — 20th Century Fox is taking the film off its Christmas calendar.
In the follow-up film to Luhrmann's baroque William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet Nicole Kidman stars as a 19th-century courtesan and Ewan McGregor as her besotted lover. The director has referred to his musical as a marriage of extremes: "Rocky Horror meets Titanic."
While a singing-dancing spectacular sounds more like an Oscar contender — at least in the costume and set categories — than the kind of explosive action we crave in the summertime, we're sure Fox execs know what they're doing. Still, the last successful musical was, what, Grease, back in the '70s?
Moulin Rouge is just one of five Kidman movies slated for a 2001 release. Miramax's The Birthday Girl was bumped from a September 2000 to a February 2001 release and Columbia's Panic Room is set for June. Dates for the Jane Campion-directed thriller In the Cut and the Spanish-set The Others are yet to be announced.
Fox still has Men of Honor and Cast Away in its Oscars 2000 hope chest

One of the many things you are blessed with is the inability to understand our vile, depressing language--this is the one thing I envy most of you.
So continue to listen to the Wind and be comforted by the soothing light of the stars through your long nights my dear Lola and be reassured that there are beautiful forces out there looking out for you.
That noble force which went through the trouble of creating you will ever turn its back on you.
You are indeed up against the human element but that is just a natural disaster which you'll eventually overcome.

A Howard County grand jury heard the first testimony yesterday in the investigation of Columbia resident Linda R. Tripp, whose tape recordings of former White House aide Monica Lewinsky are at the heart of a possible presidential scandal.
As a portion of the media spotlight that follows every aspect of this saga shone on Ellicott City, James I. Cabezas, chief investigator for State Prosecutor Stephen Montanarelli, testified before the grand jury for about an hour, according to sources. What he said was not known.
Tripp is being investigated for possibly breaking Maryland's strict wiretap law when she taped telephone calls in her home with Lewinsky, a former White House intern, discussing an alleged affair with President Clinton.

Egypt is ruled today by the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, under the leadership of Field Marshal Muhammad Hussein Tantawi. The country is now ruled under military law, something which the masses did not expect and which does not fit in with the idea of democratic reform.
WikiLeaks documents describe the Egyptian military as a parallel economy, a kind of "Military Inc." Military-owned companies, often run by retired generals, are active in water, olive oil, cement, construction (building roads and airports), hotel and gasoline industries. The military produces televisions and milk and bread.
Egypt has become a firm ally of the U.S. since the end of the 1970s, assisting it in many facets of its anti-terrorist policy. Tantawi himself and his troops fought alongside American troops in Operation Desert Shield in Iraq in 1990.
At 76, Tantawi is no revolutionary. He and his colleagues have a lot to lose if they accede to actual demands for change. A transformation of the regime into a civilian democratic regime will not be viable for the military, and he will likely try his best to maintain the advantages his class has always enjoyed.
In the strategic field, it seems that Tantawi will remain loyal to Egypt's American ally, even though he may have to rethink the totality of the country's commitment in view of the behavior of the U.S. administration toward Mubarak.

Plant Responses. How plants move and communicate. Early Inquiry. The houseplant observation. For years, people noticed that houseplants tended to lean toward a source of light. Charles Darwin and his son Francis, wondered why. How does a plant "know" where to lean?. Darwin's Oats.

Oat shoots tend to bend toward the light. When the tip of the shoot is covered with a small cap, the shoot does not bend.
Question: Why doesn't the shoot with the cap bend toward the light? List several possible reasons that could be tested with a scientific study.
Some shoots were covered with small caps of glass. Others were covered with a sleeve that left the tip exposed but covered the lower shoot.
What new information does this experiment give us about the cause of shoot bending?
What new questions does it raise?
Boysen-Jensen then tried putting a porous barrier (agar gel) and an impenetrable barrier (a flake of mica) between the shoot tip and the rest of the shoot. The shoot with an agar barrier bent toward the light. The shoot with the mica barrier did not.
Does this experiment give us new information or only confirm the results of other experiments?
In another experiment, Boysen-Jensen took a tiny, sharp sliver of mica and pushed it into the coleoptile so that it cut off communication between the tip and the rest of the plant on one side only. If the sliver was on the side that was lit, it still leaned that toward the light, but if it was on the opposite side, the plant did not lean toward the light.
What new information does this tell us about why plants lean toward the light? What new hypotheses could be formed?
Went first cut the tips off of oat coleoptiles and placed them on a block of agar and allowed juices from the tip to diffuse into the agar.
Went then cut blocks from the agar. If he cut a tip from an oat coleoptile and placed an agar block on top, then put the coleoptile in the dark, it grew just as it would if the tip were intact.
Why use the agar block infused with plant juice instead of just cutting and replacing the tip?
Why place the plants in the dark instead of shining light on one side as in the other experiments?
Went also compared what happened when he placed an agar block squarely on top of a clipped coleoptile versus what happened when he set the block on one side of the cut tip. In the first case, the coleoptile grew straight up. In the second, it bent.
What does this tell us about the role of juice from the coleoptile tip in plant growth?
What effect do you think the juice is having at the cellular level?
Auxins stimulate genes in cells associated with plant growth.
How does a root "know" which way is down?
Plastids, particularly leucoplasts, in the root cap cell tend to settle on the bottom side of the cell. This stimulates the release of auxins.
Action of phytochrome on flowering time.
Pfr to Pr switch is how plants "tell time."

On this photobooth Friday, prior to a long celebratory weekend, I honor those who have given their lives for our country while simultaneously wishing this world and all of it's inhabitants everlasting peace.
You know, I am quite good at a few things. Very good at a select few. But then there are so many things at which I am no good at all. For example: growing plantlike objects? Not so much. I gave up on ever growing anything again fourteen years ago. I was living in Australia at the time. Growing a beautiful baby boy in my belly. Lucky enough to have a tiny window in my life where i was able to not work. This is when I decided I would give gardening one big fat go - fertility and time on my hands, a lovely back garden just waited to be tilled and filled. So I started researching how to grow an organic garden. I bought a book, determined the best plants for our region, invested in all types of seeds and topsoil. I spent a full week prepping the bed, planting the seeds, watering...and waiting. And guess what eventually grew in that meticulously tended 5' by 12' plot?
Not a goddammed thing.
Not even a sprout. I was pissed, people. But I eventually got over it - nicknamed myself the "Black Thumb" and moved on. In the ensuing years I have had a house plant here and there, a tiny cactus that hung on for awhile. I do buy little orchid plants now and then to have live flowers in the house but they all eventually die. I have heard that if you care for them that orchids will flower again but certainly not under my dark tutelage. Mine dry out to little twigs and eventually get tossed in the trash.
So imagine my surprise upon entering the laundry room the other day to see this. An abandoned and long forgotten orchid plant sitting in the window with this flower on it. It has been given no water. No attention. I do not even know how many months that this plant sat there - ignored. And then - BAM. There are even nine more little buds on their way out to say "Hi!".
I am giggly and thankful for my pretty little miracle plant. There is probably a perfectly logical explanation for this phenomena. But in a totally 'me' way I have opted to keep myself in the dark as to the wily ways of this plant and instead go all 'symbolic' instead...
In a small and sweet way, it serves as my very own reminder to perhaps be more patient, or to release or maybe even forget to tend something once in awhile.
You just never know what you might get.
p.s. Have a happy weekend, lovely ones, a happy weekend indeed.
I hope your mama's day was lovely. Mine was filled with home grown, hand picked roses,
a new salt cellar,
and this remarkable card that is a painting that is a poem that is from my very own boy - click here to read his words - one can only imagine what kind of man he will some day become.Happy belated Mother's (but every other too) Day.
The Eddie Adams Workshop (Barnstorm) is an intense four-day gathering of the top professionals in photojournalism, along with 100 carefully selected students. The Workshop's purpose is to create a forum in which an exchange of ideas, techniques, and philosophies can be shared between both established members and newcomers of the profession of picture journalism. The Workshop is tuition-free, and the 100 students are chosen based on the merit of their portfolios.I submitted my carefully chosen words, a recommendation letter, my twenty images just today. I am visualizing myself packing my camera bag, getting on the plane to New York, arriving - full of nervous anticipation - at this event of events for my chosen field this coming October. Here are the words I sent to the committee. The words - along with the images - that I hope will gain me admittance:
"My name is Leslie Sophia Lindell and I am a Professional Photographer. I do not think I can express in two short paragraphs the extreme joy I experience each time I say that. You see, it has been a long and satisfying journey to get here.And here is where the favor comes in. Might you visualize this for me as well? Help me water and tend this effort? In any way you see fit. Perhaps a gentle nod in my direction, a big "hooray" at your computer screen, a raise of your next glass, or...any darn thing that you might think of? I would so appreciate it and love the idea of you being part of this dream come true.
I was twenty years old when I packed my car and moved to Los Angeles on my own. I landed a coveted Assistant job in the Art Department of A&M Records. This is where I learned to shoot – TMAX 400 my drug of choice at the time. I spent the ensuing twenty years following my creative instincts – freelance video production, a move to Australia, gallery showing of my paintings, the birth of a son, return to the US, the Director of an art gallery, departure from the creative field altogether to raise that lovely son on my own and then – THEN – the invention of the digital camera. It has drawn me back in and my life is breathtakingly changed for it. Self taught, I have been shooting professionally for one year. I am deeply dedicated, perceptive, my eye serves me well. I can only hope that you agree and I am allowed the amazing opportunity to further my knowledge by joining you at the Eddie Adams Workshop/Barnstorm XXI.
Thank you."

Has this week ever been a blur!
I was just one second ago wishing you a lovely weekend and now we have already arrived at a whole new one. So many planted seeds, things buzzing around, hopes for fruition - things to catch you up on. But no time. So for now, I send you buzzy happy smiles and wishes for yet another weekend of yum.

- Case study
- Healthcare
- Oct 6 2015
When the Barnes family lost Patrick in 1999 – a son, a husband and a father – they searched for a way to fill the void he left behind. The DAISY Foundation sprung from their need to thank the nurses who stood by them and grew into a source of support for nurses that would ultimately transform the hospital culture.
"When we started, there was so little recognition for the special things that nurses do everyday that make a difference to patients and families," says Bonnie Barnes, co-founder and president of the American organization, The DAISY Foundation. Given that this concept of recognition was not widely practiced in hospitals, the Barnes family established The DAISY Foundation with a simple process and mission: publicly honor peer-nominated nurses who demonstrate excellence in patient care.
Meaningful recognition, Barnes says, does not need to involve money or material things; instead it focuses on valorizing someone in a personal way. "It's about focusing on the things that matter to nurses – and that is the relationships they form with their patients and their colleagues," says Barnes. During DAISY Award ceremonies, recipients receive a certificate, a DAISY Award pin, a stone sculpture and a spotlight feature on the organization's website.
The healthcare facilities that incorporate the DAISY Award into their programs have seen first-hand the benefits of this kind of recognition. The foundation's research shows that nurses who feel valued and appreciated go on to provide even higher levels of patient care. Industry studies have also shown that recognizing compassionate patient care is significantly and positively associated with hospital ratings and referral rates. With its convincing results, the program has seen a 98 percent retention rate throughout its 2,030 client healthcare centers.
But there wasn't always a steady flow of nominations coming in from happy hospitals. The DAISY Foundation began with cold calls to healthcare leaders and the uphill battle of convincing them of the importance of nurse recognition. In fact, nurses themselves needed convincing as well. "Nurses are so universally humble," says Barnes. "So when we asked nurses to call attention to what they do, they were totally surprised. They just didn't think they are doing anything extraordinary and didn't think about nominating each other."
On top of the modest nature of nurses, there was a fundamental element of the hospital culture that stood in the way: healthcare employees are trained to focus on everything that is going wrong. These issues can run the gamut, from what's wrong with a patient, flaws in the system or unmotivated employees. "But when they stop and celebrate all of the 'right' that is going on, wonderful things can happen," she says.
Determined to honor the hard work that nurses put in every day and focus on the positive, The DAISY Foundation tweaked its process. Instead of peer nominations, the foundation asked hospitals to turn to patients and families for input. And just like that, the floodgates opened. Today cold calls to prospective clients are a thing of the past – the program flourishes by word of mouth alone. And this concept of meaningful nurse recognition has no borders and knows no cultural boundaries. After being contacted by healthcare facilities in Saudi Arabia, then Bangkok and Taiwan, the DAISY Award expanded internationally and now exists in 14 countries around the globe.
"We started this foundation because we had no other way of dealing with our loss," says Barnes. "But today, this is all about gratitude – people just want a way to say thank you."

Can design contribute in a tangible way to creating a healing environment? Absolutely. Design in healthcare has the power to impact many people when they are at their most vulnerable, so it is important to think through the entire process of reducing stress and ensuring that the experience, whatever the pathology or condition, is as pleasant as possible for everyone involved. A healing environment is about much more than the design of a physical place. In fact, with the engagement of outreac...

Letter for Thanks For The Worst First Date Ever
This letter is a nasty response to a really rotten first date that the other person thought was just peachy.
I just had to write to thank you for what must have been the worst first date in the history of male-female relations. Normally, I don't do this sort of thing on short acquaintance, but our date was so extraordinarily awful that I just had to express my feelings. From the time we arrived at <location of date>, I knew I was in for trouble. You <awful behavior> for most of the night, and I found myself wishing I was somewhere else. Anywhere else. Bosnia comes to mind. Needless to say, I'll be contacting the Guinness Book of Records. There's got to be some kind of standard for boorishness, and I think you might be the one to set it. If it isn't obvious by now, there will be no second date. Thank you for your time, and I'll pray for the next unsuspecting <woman/man> you take out.

Seattle Food Adventures- Duke's Chowder House
The Boy and I have recently moved to the Seattle area after really developing our (faux) foodie chops back in the Bay Area. Beyond the opportunity to marvel at produce sections in less warm climates, we also get to have all new food adventures in the Seattle area. I thought I would share my thoughts on these new restaurants here, as we pledge our loyalty to new places.
Duke's Chowder House is a place right on the Greenlake loop. We tried it out with the hope that we would find a new Sam's, but alas this was not it. The biggest draw is that the ambiance in the restaurant is really nice- red walls and crowded, so you feel like you are somewhere. On the other hand, the food was overpriced, and all in all, it wasn't worth it. It wasn't bad, it just felt way too expensive for what you got.
First, we got mussels, which were delicious, but it is hard to mess up butter, garlic, and mussels (no seriously, it might be impossible to fail at). The chowder, if I remember correctly, was fine but underseasoned, didn't have all that many clams, and it was really really thick. So far, every time we have had chowder up in Seattle, it has too much cream and potato and really not enough clams. When we find the good stuff, we will tell you.
For dinner, we both got grilled mix type things. I think the Boy got Shrimp and something else, and I ate scallops, Shrimp, and crap legs? It wasn't great. Kind of bland, and some was way overcooked. The whole meal moved in a downhill direction. It wasn't horrible, but there was nothing that we would be pining for later. Nothing that we need to go back for, if that makes sense. So, Duke's is probably one of the least successful of our adventures so far, but you can't win them all! Onward and Upward!

Condition Management is a unique, intelligent, condition management solution that collects and analyzes real-time diagnostics from all plant production assets, driving appropriate actions to improve overall asset performance and manage the corresponding operations, engineering and maintenance activities. Condition Management produces conditional alerts in real-time, delivers simplicity from complexity and provides maintenance management with the resultant improvement in asset integrity.
Condition Management employs a "Collect, Analyze, Act" architecture to gather, process and disseminate information that is reviewed in its complete context (versus isolated pieces of data) and actioned across the organization, bringing together Operations, Maintenance and Engineering to solve any issues efficiently and effectively. This enables the move from isolated condition monitoring to proactive condition management within the enterprise.
Operations and maintenance personnel routinely make asset-related decisions which directly affect the company's production and business goals. Stockholder equity, quality control, lean manufacturing and customer satisfaction are all impacted by these decisions. That is why arming your operations and maintenance employees with current asset information is so important. Condition Management provides the critical link to your real-time plant floor data, making relevant information available to the people who need it to keep your organization profitable. Ultimately, it is this linkage between real-time and operational environment that moves your organization from Asset Management to Operations Performance Management.
Condition Management provides the capability to tie the condition information (and required actions) with any of the critical plant systems and business solutions. In the plant environment, this includes integration with the Control/PLC/SCADA and Safety solutions, where access to the key information is provided through the operator console.
Our patented configuration tool provides the linking mechanism between the asset/equipment definitions and the wide range of plant information sources. It empowers the process engineer to:

The Three Essential Functions of the Board
I just re-read Peter Drucker's "Three Functions of the Board". As always, Drucker provides clear, seasoned counsel:
- The enterprise, first, does need a review organ. It needs a group of experienced people, people of integrity and stature, people of proven performance capacity and proven willingness to work, who counsel, advise, and deliberate with top management.
- An effective and functioning board is needed to remove a top management that fails to perform.
- Finally, the enterprise needs a 'public and community relations' organ."

OK, today I want to share some VERY interesting information that has come to hand. A release date has been announced for Evo II and there are also a few other interesting tidbits that I want to share.
The release date for BruteForceSEO Evo II has been announced...
18 November, 2009
...so just over 2 weeks to go.
Peter Drew, the software creator, has announced some MAJOR pricing discounts for Evo II that I wasn't expecting. This has kind of TURNED UPSIDE DOWN my initial recommendation to sign up for Linking Loophole first...
So, what I'm going to do is lay out all of the different pricing options for you from smallest savings to BIGGEST savings...and then you can choose which you think is going to suit you the best (if any at all).
Option 1: Full Price - $157 per month
With this option, you can sign up for a free trial of BFSEO Evo II for 7 days, and then continue at $157 per month if you are happy with what the software can do.
Option 2: My Original Recommendation - $137 per month
My original recommendation was to sign up to Linking Loophole first, then wait for an email from Peter which would offer you the cheaper upgrade to the full BruteForceSEO software (Evo II) of $137 per month. I'm not 100% sure how long this option will be valid for.
Option 3: One Year Subscription - approx $67 per month
This is something I just heard about today. When you sign up for Evo II here, instead of paying a monthly fee, you will receive a ONE TIME OFFER to join for a 1 year or 2 year subscription. The 1 YEAR SUBSCRIPTION OFFER will cost you $797, which works out to approx. $67 per month. This is a saving over 1 year of $1087.
Option 4: Two Year Subscription - approx $42 per month
OK, this one just BLEW ME AWAY! If you sign up for Evo II and take up the ONE TIME OFFER of a 2 year subscription then you pay $997. This works out to approx $42 per month, and is a saving of $2771 over 2 years.
So there you have it...
If you have serious backlinking requirements, then you should sign up for the FREE 7 day trial here, and then go with either Option 3 or 4.
If you're more cautious and just want to try it out for a while, then sign up for the 7 day trial and then make your decision.
(Apparently, a little birdie told me that if you skip the initial ONE TIME OFFER to join for 1 year at $797, but later change your mind...you can still pick up a ONE YEAR SUBSCRIPTION via the forum, but it will then cost you $997 for 1 year.)
