My brother and I had plenty of naughty moments growing up. We pretended to eat our vitamins and when no one was watching we hid them under the couch. We made up our very own outdoor game, a contest of sorts to see who could throw hunks of wet, muddy dirt the highest onto the side of the house (got into a lot of trouble for that one). We played barbershop and cut off chunks of our hair. Yes, like most children were we full of mischief and pranks, learning our boundaries.
Horrid Henry, the main character in Francesca Simon's book series, is the king of bad behavior. When you think of the naughty kid list of characters, for instance Dennis the Menace, Pippi Longstocking, Bart Simpson, Max from Where the Wild Things Are -- Horrid Henry ranks right up there. And kids love him. Kids like to read about silly, off the wall, absurd characters, the crazier the better. Add some sibling rivalry, boring parents and annoying friends to the mix and you've got a fun read. Just how horrid is Horrid Henry? Well, he picks on his little brother (aptly named "Perfect Peter"), ruins all family camping and hiking trips and pulls plenty of other mischievous stunts much to the dismay of his parents and teachers. He is one out of control child.
Hugely popular and originally published in the UK, the Horrid Henry series is new to America this year. Each book is actually a collection of 4 different short stories, perfect for those with short attention spans and reluctant readers. As far as children's books go, they fit right between early readers and chapter books. Titles currently available in the U.S. include the following four books:

* Horrid Henry's Wedding
* Moody Margaret Moves In
* Horrid Henry's New Teacher
Two more books are scheduled for release in July: Horrid Henry and the Mummy's Curse and Horrid Henry and the Soccer Fiend
As a participant in the Horrid Henry blog tour, Sourcebooks sent me the first four titles for review. When I first started reading the books, I thought that each story might have a sort of lesson, that Harry would be checked in some way. No lessons here; he just is downright naughty. Though sometimes the joke is turned on him, and those particular stories are my favorite. For instance, the tooth fairy doesn't fall for his sneaky switch, a sleepover doesn't go his way. In "Horrid Henry Reads a Book", Henry pretends to read and report on a ton of books so that he can win a prize to an adventure park and learns the hard way that some things aren't as they seem. "Horrid Henry Dines at Restaurant Le Posh" made me chuckle with references to tripe and escargots. The illustrations by Tony Ross are right on the mark, comically depicting pointy-nosed adults and disobedient children.
Some parents may be understandably put off by the antics of Harry. When questioned about the rebelliousness of her main character, in an interview with Telegraph.co.uk Simon replied that "We all want to kick against the traces, but Henry is naughty so you don't have to be." I think most children will realize that they shouldn't act as Harry does, but it is still fun to do a little imagining.

Lexus and Mark Levinson: An Alliance in Audio Excellence
Do you like this Story?
Early in the development of the all-new Lexus LS 460, the luxury sedan's executive chief engineer, Takeshi Yoshida, met with Mark Levinson's Phil Muzio in Japan. In preparation for this key meeting, Muzio and his team had prepared volumes of research for Yoshida-san and his staff of engineers.
Muzio knew that the launch of the next-generation LS, the brand's flagship luxury sedan, would be Lexus' most important launch since its birth in 1989. The reinvented LS was a vehicle that would require the most advanced car audio system for any sedan on the market. The 450-watt surround-sound system Mark Levinson was proposing included 19 speakers, a figure that caused Yoshida-san to hesitate, knowing the additional challenges it would present when shaping the sedan's interior – down to the last detail. Nineteen speakers was unprecedented, and an unlikely number to accommodate. Even this, the largest of Lexus sedans, simply did not have the necessary space. Muzio, however, was intent on introducing a new level of automotive audio to go hand in hand with the LS 460.
This significant meeting, which took place in 2002 – four years prior to the LS 460's launch – typifies the strategic partnership Lexus and Mark Levinson have forged since the beginning of their relationship. It was, and continues to be, a partnership that moved both companies to push boundaries in search of the definitive automotive-acoustic experience.
"There are specific Mark Levinson product launches that represent a level of technical and artistic achievement of which I am most proud. The debut of Mark Levinson® Reference Surround, designed for the exciting, all-new Lexus LS 460, ranks high among that elite group," said Phil Muzio, director of acoustic systems for Mark Levinson. "Few words are required to communicate the excellence of these products, as the emotions that they convey when listening to our favorite music and movies say it all."
As the Lexus brand approached its decade anniversary in the late 1990s, the luxury automotive division decided to pursue a superior sound experience for its customers that was on par with the luxurious refinement for which it is was known. With the brand being based on the Lexus Covenant that it treat each customer as a guest in its home, it seemed to be a logical choice to partner with Mark Levinson, the leader in audiophile home sound systems.
The Mark Levinson brand achieved a reputation as one of the most prestigious and renowned choices on the market. However, given the seemingly insurmountable challenges of delivering a high-quality audio experience in a vehicle that would equal its home sound experience, the brand was reluctant at first to partner with an automotive manufacturer. Over the years, Mark Levinson had declined other such proposals from various manufacturers with a belief that the necessary and appropriate level of quiet with a resonance-free structure did not exist in an automobile.
After testing the Lexus LS 400 and its luxury competitors, Mark Levinson reevaluated this belief. The acoustic engineers at Mark Levinson decided that the LS not only had the quietest passenger cabin on the market but that it had the requisite level of tranquility, even at elevated speeds, for engineering an automotive sound experience of the highest quality. In 1998, a strategic partnership was forged between Lexus and Mark Levinson to collaborate on and produce the best automotive audio experience on the market.
The original goal of Lexus' exclusive collaboration with Mark Levinson, to exceed consumers' expectations, is maintained to this day and plays a part in the launch of every new Lexus vehicle. As each next generation of Mark Levinson sound systems debuts in new Lexus models, the objective remains faithful to the Mark Levinson philosophy and original mission statement: Recreate in the home the emotional response evoked by the original musical or cinematic event, and closely replicate in the Lexus vehicle the emotional experience music and movie aficionados could previously attain only with the finest home consumer equipment.
The first Mark Levinson® Premium Sound system was launched in the 2001 LS 430. The same engineers who fine-tuned and perfected the world-class Mark Levinson home systems spent thousands of hours in prototype vehicles matching the sound system to the LS' unique interior architecture and acoustic character. The painstaking collaboration resulted in an audio presence with acoustic imaging that had never before been created in an automobile.
The Lexus-Mark Levinson audio evolution took a new, purposeful step with the introduction of the Mark Levinson® Surround Sound system on the 2006 GS 300 and GS 430 luxury sport sedans. The 14-speaker, 330-watt Surround Sound system was the next-generation audio entertainment experience. Its Discrete 5.1 Surround system improved the 360-degree sound space for all seats. The partnership's progression continued with the 2006 IS 250 and IS 350 luxury sport sedans that also featured 7.1-channel architecture while combining 14 speakers and 300 watts of power.
The debut of the 2007 LS 460 and the 19-speaker Mark Levinson® Reference Surround system it came to house reveals the maturing relationship between Lexus and Mark Levinson. This now eight-year alliance comes to fruition with a sound system that uniquely mirrors the benchmark luxury sedan's personality. Mark Levinson designers and engineers identified the differentiating performance objectives necessary to legitimately earn the "Reference Surround" moniker: timbral accuracy, timbral matching and dynamics.
The Lexus and Mark Levinson have developed a process in which engineers meet early in the development cycle and continue to work closely throughout the vehicle's progression. As many as three to seven years in advance of a vehicle launch, Mark Levinson engineers begin analyzing multiple conditions to determine system content, including both automotive and audio market conditions, vehicle cabin size, the vehicle's price point, and buyer demographics. Mark Levinson engineers walk through a step-by-step product-planning process with Lexus planners and engineers to determine the optimal audio content for each future vehicle.
The objectives of Mark Levinson Surround Sound systems were ambitious and challenging from the start. They had to provide an exciting and satisfying entertainment experience for both music, music videos and movies commensurate with the quality and performance of Lexus vehicles. They also had to offer compatibility with the new consumer digital formats and with the new consumer media formats. An enhanced automotive-entertainment experience had to be created by refining the sonic performance in each listening seat with all current formats and media. At the same time, this next-generation system was architected to provide a higher level of sonic performance for each of these important sonic attributes: three-dimensional stable imaging, high resolution, harmonic richness, natural dynamics, musicality, and 360-degree spatial envelopment.
In order to achieve these objectives, the Mark Levinson hardware- and software-design team had to create and implement an entirely new digital processing topology, increase the number of power amplifier channels, architect a system topology that utilizes the latest generation of Mark Levinson transducers while allowing for the proper reproduction of multichannel sound, and architect and code new proprietary software applications.
The painstaking design and development process continues to advance with the Mark Levinson offering for each new Lexus vehicle, continuing to deliver a superior experience to Lexus customers. Today, the Mark Levinson Reference Surround Sound system is a featured option in the LS 460 and LS 460 L as well as the LS 600h L flagship hybrid sedan and the LX570 luxury utility vehicle.
The 2002 meeting between Yoshida-san, Muzio and their engineering staffs was significant for the new Mark Levinson Reference Surround Sound system. Muzio understood Yoshida's hesitation and the intrinsic difficulty in creating a 19-speaker surround system. He also knew that the LS' executive chief engineer's final decision would be determined based on his experience listening to an early incarnation of the Reference Surround. After exiting the demonstration prototype vehicle, having experienced the new Mark Levinson creation for 15 minutes or so, Yoshida offered up only an extended pause. This pause was followed by one simple, and significant, statement: "I must have this in my car."

Instructor(s) Cohen, Adrian
The Payments course covers all major forms of modern payment systems, including checks and the banking system, promissory notes, credit and debit cards and wire transfers. In other words, Payments is about the types of things that businesses and consumers deal with every day, even though they may not fully understand the rules that apply and the consequences of actions they take within the payment systems. For example, most people don't realize that if they merely place their signature on a promissory note, frivolously and without any intent to bind themselves to pay the note, they in fact become obligated to pay the note…and may not be able to even raise any defense to payment (such as, to use an extreme example, "I was just showing off my new style of signature…that's why I signed sideways down the side of the note!") The course provides comprehensive analysis of the types of problems that clients frequently address with their lawyers…and with people who potential clients know are lawyers. It is invaluable for any lawyer who may deal with business or consumer clients because virtually every payment made in our country by every individual every day carries layers of significance that go far beyond the mere act of incurring, paying or collecting on a debt. The course covers Articles Three and Four of the Uniform Commercial Code, and studies the federal statutes and regulations that govern check processing and credit and debit transactions, in a relaxed way that aims to make you feel comfortable with the rules so you can apply them with confidence when faced with questions lay people (and bar examiners) may, and almost certainly will, ask on the topic.

It seems rather likely that Robert Campin was a relative of mine (I think of him as Umpty-Greats-Grandpa Bob). Thinking of going with my wife to the Mediaeval Music in the Dales event. In which case this is the obvious image (though neither of us looks much like the subjects). My wife is extremely skilled at modern sewing but hasn't done much historical stuff. Where should we look for resources on reconstructing this couple's clothes?

Driving through rural America while reading this book was so perfect. Rhodes makes the characters come alive with the way he describes them…flawed, salt of the earth people just trying to cope with life and living. As we drove along cornfields, swept over soft green hillsides, and crept through tired and deflated little towns, it was possible to picture who might be living there. Rhodes' writing is so generous and insightful without even a hint of cliché. This is slow reading that brings quiet understanding, so it won't be for everyone, but it is a wonderful story to sink into for those who love authors who can speak to the wisdom of the soul and turn the mundane into profound reflections on life and humanity. Although having said that, shocking things do happen and at times the pace is fast-moving enough. Other authors who are similar in style are Elizabeth Strout (Olive Kitteridge), William Kent Kruger (Ordinary Grace), Mary Lawson (Crow Lake), and Marilynne Robinson (Gilead).
As a young man David Rhodes worked in fields, hospitals and factories across Iowa. After receiving an MFA degree from the Iowa Writer's Workshop (always pay attention to writers who have studied here, they are the best!) he published three novels from 1972-75. In 1977 a motorcycle accident left him paralysed from the chest down. After ten years he published again, with this sequel to his earlier novel Rock Island Line and prequel to Jewelweed which I am eager to read next. Rhodes lives with his wife, Edna, in rural Wisconsin.
In ten words or less this book is about a bunch of people muddling through in small town Wisconsin. But it is so much more than that. There is connection to the land, to place, and to community. There is mistrust of big business and industrialisation–things that are a threat to a simple way of life. There is a fidelity to good values, hard work, and something to believe in. Here's what Goodreads says, "The setting is Words, Wisconsin, an anonymous town of only a few hundred people. But under its sleepy surface, life rages. Cora and Grahm guard their dairy farm, and family, from the wicked schemes of their milk co-op. Lifelong paraplegic Olivia suddenly starts to walk, only to find herself crippled by her fury toward her sister and caretaker, Violet. Recently retired Rusty finds a cougar living in his haymow, dredging up haunting childhood memories. Winifred becomes pastor of the Friends church and stumbles on enlightenment in a very unlikely place. Driftless finds the author's powers undiminished in this unforgettable story that evokes a small-town America previously unmapped, and the damaged denizens who must make their way through it."

The ISO/TS16949 is an ISO technical specification targeting to the development of a quality management system that provides for continual improvement, emphasizing faultstoppage and the reduction of variant and waste in the supply chain. It is built on the ISO 9001 and the first edition was published in March 2002 as ISO/TS 16949:2002.
It was organized by the International Automotive Task Force (IATF) and the "Technical Committee" of ISO. It harmonizes the country-specific regulations of Quality Management Systems.
About 30 percent of the more than 100 existing automobile manufacturers affiliate the requirements of the norm but specifically the large Asian manufacturers have differentiated, own requirements for the quality management systems of their corporate assembly and their suppliers.
TS16949 put on to the design/development, manufacture and, when relevant, installation and servicing of automotive-related products.
ISO/IEC 17025 General necessities for the competence of testing and calibration research laboratory are the main ISO standard used by testing and calibration laboratories. Originally known as ISO/IEC Guide 25, ISO/IEC 17025 was initially issued by the International Organization for Standardization in 1999. ISO/IEC 17025 is more precise in requirements for competence. And it applies straight to those organizations that produce testing and calibration results. Since its initial announcement, a second announcement was made in 2005 after it was agreed that it needed to have its quality system words more closely aligned with the 2000 version of ISO 9001.
The ISO/IEC 17025 standard itself includes five elements that are Scope, Normative References, Terms and Definitions, Technical Requirements and Management Requirements. The two main sections in ISO/IEC 17025 are Management Requirements and Technical Requirements. Management requirements are primarily related to the operation and effectiveness of the quality management system within the research laboratory. Technical requirements includefactors which determine the exactness and reliability of the tests and calibrations performed in research laboratory.
Research laboratory use ISO/IEC 17025 to implement a quality system aimed at improving their skill to consistently produce valid results. It is also the basis for accreditation from accreditation bodies. Since the standard is about competence, accreditation is basically formal acknowledgement of a demonstration of that competence. A precondition for a research laboratory to become accredited is to have a documented quality management system. The usual contents of the quality manual follow the outline of the ISO/IEC 17025 standard.
ISO 13485 is an International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard, published in 2003, that signifies the requirements for a comprehensive quality management system for the design and production of medical devices. This standard replaces earlier documents such as EN 46001 and EN 46002 (both 1997), the ISO 13485 published in 1996 and ISO 13488 (also 1996)
Though it is tailored to the industry's quality system prospects and regulatory requirements, an organization does not need to be actively manufacturing medical devices or their components to search for certification to this standard, in against of the automotive sector's ISO/TS 16949, where solitary firms with an active request for quotation, or on the bid list, of an International Automotive Task Force supply chain manufacturer can search for registration.
While it remains a stand-alone document, ISO 13485 is generally consistent with ISO 9001. A principal difference, however, is that ISO 9001 requires the organization to demonstrate constant development, whereas ISO 13485 requires only that the certified organization demonstrate the quality system is effectually executed and maintained. Additionally, the ISO 9001 requirements regarding customer gratification are absent from the medical device standard.
Total quality management (TQM) consists of organization-wide efforts to install and make everlasting a environment in which an organization continuously increases its ability to deliver high-quality products and services to customers. While there is no widely agreed-upon approach, TQM efforts typically draw heavily on the previously established tools and techniques of quality control. TQM enjoyed prevalent attention during the late 1980s and early 1990s before being overshadowed by ISO 9000, Lean manufacturing, and Six Sigma.
Good manufacturing practices (GMP) are the practices required in order to conform to guidelines suggested by agencies that control endorsement and licensing for production and sale of food, drug foodstuffs, and active pharmacological products. These guidelines make available minimum requirements that a pharmaceutical or a food product manufacturer must meet to assure that the products are of high quality and do not pose any danger to the consumer or public.
Good manufacturing practices, along with good research laboratory practices and good clinical practices, are managed by regulatory agencies in the United States, Canada, Europe, China, in addition to other countries.
The Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive 2002/95/EC, RoHS, short for Directive on the restriction of the use of assured hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment, was accepted in February 2003 by the European Union.
The RoHS directive took result on 1 July 2006, and is required to be forced and become law in each member state. This directive controls the use of six hazardous materials in the manufacture of various types of electronic and electrical equipment. It is narrowly linked with the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE) 2002/96/EC which sets collection, recycling and recovery goals for electrical goods and is part of a legislative inventiveness to resolve the problem of vast amounts of toxic e-waste.
Organizations like the Quality Council of India (QCI) and its National Accreditation Board for Hospitals and Healthcare providers have designed athorough healthcare standard for hospitals and healthcare workers. This standard consists of stringent 600 plus objective fundamentals for the hospital to achieve in order to get the NABH accreditation. These standards are separated between patient centered standards and organization centered standards.
To comply with these standard fundamentals, the hospital will need to have a process-driven approach in all aspects of hospital activities – from registration, admission, pre-surgery and post-surgery protocols, release from the hospital to follow-up with the hospital after release. Not only the clinical features but the governance features are to process driven based on clear and transparent policies and protocols. In a nutshell NABH aims at streamlining the whole operations of a hospital.
NABH is equal to JCI and other International standards plus HAS: Haute Authority de Santé, Australian Council on Healthcare Standards, the Japan Council for Quality in Health Care, and the National Committee for Quality Assurance in the United States.
Medication Errors can be avoided at the point of care within the hospitals; medicament points like OPs and drug dispense sing points like chemist's and nursing stations by the use of reliable and updated drug information, e.g. Meddle.

2015 Browns
Posted 10 February 2015 - 02:34 PM
So here we are, a year into the Ray Farmer edition of the perennial door mat franchise that is the Cleveland Browns. The questions remain the same. A quarterback in rehab, all-pro receiver serving another substance related suspension, and the impending departure of Jordan Cameron via free agency mean once again the browns will have absolutely no weapons on the offensive side of the ball. The lack of talent runs so deep that not even a perfect draft will fill all the holes.
A lot of people have Devin Smith going to Cleveland near the bottom of the 1st round. Don't get me wrong I would love to see a Buckeye play for the Browns but for his own sake I hope he doesn't end up there. We don't have a quarterback that can throw to him. Hoyer couldn't hit Miles Austin in stride, what do you think he would look like throwing to Smith? Hell, Cardale Jones can't even get him in stride. If the Browns take him it will be a waste of a good player. Could you imagine what he could with a guy like Flacco or Big Ben?
In all honesty im at a loss with this team. There's so many holes to fill it's impossible to justify taking one player over another.

How do you feel they should handle free agency? Personally I think retaining Buster Skrine should be priority #1. Let Cameron walk unless you can get him to agree to a performance incentive laden contract. Sheard a very good player but he just doesn't fit the scheme here anymore. He'll want starter type money so I think it's safe to say he's gone. Craig Robertson is restricted, but I gotta believe they will make an effort to keep him around before he hits the market. I thought he came on very strong in Dansby's absence last year.
And then there;s hoyer. They at least have to make an attempt to bring him back, but it will be clear very early where each side stands. If there too far apart you have to let him walk.
As far as landing some of the big fish free agents, I don't think we have a chance. We aren't going to get a marquee name to come here unless we grossly overpay someone. The focus has to be on the draft first.

Second another rumor is Browns are looking at Josh McCowen, as a possible veteran to bring in and compete with Johnny I wrecking the league Manziel.

The 2 guys the browns reportedly had interest in clearly had no intentions of coming to Cleveland. Trent Cole came out and said he wanted to play for a contender. Did anyone really think that a year after getting a ring in New England Revis was considering coming to Cleveland? Come on! This is laughable.

Cleveland won't get a #1 receiver anywhere but the draft. Even then there's no guarantee. This whole discussion makes the Josh Gordon situation that much worse. He is a Hall of Fame talent and a walk of shame brain.
Teams that have a true #1 don't let them leave.(Dallas, Denver) Hartline may end up being a #1 in Cleveland, but he is not a #1 receiver. That's why Miami let him walk. I'm glad we got him, the dude is clutch on 3rd downs, but he's not our long term answer.
Posted 19 March 2015 - 11:59 AM
Tramon Williams, a 32 year old career Packer is signed by the Browns to be his replacement. 3 years, just north of $21mil. $7mil a year.
So in the end you pay more money (in the short term) to replace the guy that in the beginning of all this was too expensive to keep around.
Only in Cleveland.

CMT.com: News: "Volunteers Wanted for 2005 CMT Music Awards Mosh Pit
Wed. March 16.2005 6:44 PM EST
Seats for the 2005 CMT Music Awards are almost sold out, but the show's producers are looking for volunteers who can help provide an enthusiastic audience on the main floor of Nashville's Gaylord Entertainment Center. Many of the locations in the free admission area will be in key camera shots for the April 11 awards show. Those on the floor will be required to stand throughout the entire evening without any breaks."
What??? Come on. This is amazing.
1st, mosh pit and country music do NOT go in the same sentence. 2ndly, if you want great shots of fans having fun, you create an exciting show to have fun at, not coach the crowd into having a good time and faking it. See, this is exactly the problem with the big media. They don't understand what country music is about. CMT, owned by Viacom, which also owns MTV and among many other media outlets, is trying to create a MTV persona to CMT. The only thing that a channel like MTV is like CMT... is the "T."
I haven't missed a CMT Award show in an extremely long time, even back when it was the Music City News Awards. Of course, it isn't the same show. I just may pass up watching this one. They are trying to create country music into something that it isn't supposed to be. Come on, bring country music and honor the makers of the music with awards in the tradition and respect that is deserves.

Blackout Blinds & Shades for Room Darkening
- Best choice for complete darkness
- Blocks 99% of incoming light
- Great for bedrooms and home theaters
- Tight-fitting inside mounts block the most light
- Many styles to darken your space
- Watch our video on blackout shades
Blackout shades and blinds block nearly all incoming light with cellular shade, roman shade, roller shade, woven wood, pleated shade, panel track and skylight choices. Although sometimes called Blackout Blinds, a light blocking blackout effect is best achieved with shades, as they block the most light with a tight-fitting inside-mounted opaque shade. Blackout Shades eliminate maximum light seepage with specially woven material or with the addition of a liner to create a darker space than the subtler Room Darkening Shades. Custom blackout blinds provide the darkest blackout experience available.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans are "in a demographic death spiral" and will fail in their effort to win the presidency if the party blocks an immigration overhaul, a leading GOP senator said Sunday.
Sen. Lindsey Graham, the South Carolina Republican who helped write a bipartisan immigration bill under debate in the Senate, said conservatives who are trying to block the measure will doom the party and all but guarantee a Democrat will remain in the White House after 2016's election.
A Democrat also involved in developing the proposal, Sen. Robert Menendez of New Jersey, went a step further and predicted "there'll never be a road to the White House for the Republican Party" if immigration overhaul fails to pass.
Meanwhile, one the proposal's authors who is considering such a White House campaign refused again to pledge support for the measure without changes conservatives have demanded.
"The vast majority of Americans, the vast majority of conservative Republicans are prepared to support immigration reform, but only if we can ensure that we're not going to have another wave of illegal immigration in the future," said Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla.
The Senate last week overcame a procedural hurdle in moving forward on the first immigration overhaul in a generation. Lawmakers from both parties' voted to begin formal debate on a proposal that would give an estimated 11 million immigrants in the U.S. illegally a long and difficult path to citizenship.
The legislation also creates a low-skilled guest-worker program, expands the number of visas available for high-tech workers and de-emphasizes family ties in the system for legal immigration that has been in place for decades. It also sets border security goals that the government must meet before immigrants living in the U.S. illegally are granted any change in status.
"I think 95, 96 percent of the bill is in perfect shape and ready to go. But there are elements that need to be improved," said Rubio, refusing to say if he'll vote for the measure he helped write unless changes are made.
Republicans are demanding tougher border security measures and stricter standards for who qualifies for government programs such as Social Security and health care.
Rubio is trying to balance concerns from his party's conservative flank that has great sway in picking a nominee with the political attempt to win over Hispanic and Asian American voters who overwhelmingly favored President Barack Obama's re-election in 2012. Further complicating Rubio's presidential aspirations, the Republican-led House is considering its own version of immigration proposals that more closely follow their own perspective, which hews toward tea partyers.
"After eight years of President Obama's economic policies, and quite frankly foreign policy, people are going to be looking around," Graham said. "But if we don't pass immigration reform, if we don't get it off the table in a reasonable, practical way, it doesn't matter who you run in 2016. We're in a demographic death spiral as a party and the only way we can get back in good graces with the Hispanic community in my view is pass comprehensive immigration reform. If you don't do that, it really doesn't matter who we run in my view."
In 2012, Obama won re-election with the backing of 71 percent of Hispanic voters and 73 percent of Asian voters. A thwarted immigration overhaul could send those voting blocs more solidly to Democrats' side in future elections. That has led some Republican lawmakers to support immigration reform, but the party's conservative base still opposes any legislation that would create a pathway to citizenship for immigrants living here illegally.
Democrats are well aware of the numbers.
"I would tell my Republican colleagues, both in the House and the Senate, that the road to the White House comes through a road with a pathway to legalization," Menendez said. "Without it, there'll never be a road to the White House for the Republican Party."
Graham spoke on NBC's "Meet the Press." Menendez was interviewed on CNN's "State of the Union." Rubio was on ABC's "This Week."

Buchholz tosses 71 pitches in final rehab start
NEW YORK -- Red Sox right-hander Clay Buchholz, the team's ace during the early part of the season, fired 3 2/3 innings in his final rehab appearance for Triple-A Pawtucket on Thursday night.
Pitching in a playoff game at Rochester, Buchholz gave up four hits and two runs, walking two and striking out five. He threw 71 pitches, 52 of them for strikes.
Buchholz, who went 9-0 with a 1.71 ERA in 12 starts before being sidelined with a right bursa sac strain, is expected to rejoin Boston's rotation next week during a three-game road series against the Rays.
Manager John Farrell confirmed that someone will have to come out of the rotation to make way for Buchholz, but he wasn't ready to make an announcement before Thursday's game against the Yankees.
"We've not met internally to say who that's going to be removed from the rotation nor have we met with the individual it would affect," Farrell said. "We've waited just to get through tonight and to assess where [Buchholz] is at physically and from a fundamental standpoint, and we'll go from there."
Ryan Dempster, who defeated the Tigers on Wednesday night, would seem to be the likeliest candidate to come out of the rotation.

how about a live action cgi cartoon?
Beowulf was still a costly failure. CGI animation at the end of the day is not always cost effective.
Mattel wants live action, they want their own version of Transformers and GI JOE now. That simple.
"This is true. This is real. This . . . is . . . STRAIGHT EDGE."

I think it should be live-action. Animation, to me, would feel like a cop-out, the obvious choice. We know that with the right creativity and resources, this kind of thing can be done in live-action no problem.
CGI might not have the best track record, but I think we'd have a better CGI MOTU movie than with a live action version. I just feel as though Hollywood would fail miserably in translating to a live action movie.

I agree Mosquitor! Live action with a little bit of CGI would be cool.
I would love to see this movie in live action. I just want to see a scene with Castle Grayskull sitting there in the mist while dark clouds pass by behind it. Live action with CGI would be awesome!!!
Stop motion animation. Make it look like the vintage figures.

Live action absolutely.

i'd rather have cartoon.
i'm afraid live action would fall short.
Easily live action. LOTR type of feel to it would be awesome in my opinion.
I would prefer live action but after TF:ROTF and G.I.Joe I have little faith it would be done well so I think I would rather see an animated direct to DVD film.
I'd want live action, but it would have to be more adult alá Conan/lord of the rings etc
After the colossal failure of Mars Needs Moms I don't think we're going to be seeing too many motion-capture films from now on. Another reason why live-action is the only way to go, IMO.
Live action..........
live action.
though i can definitely see the appeal of going all CGI. think about it: MOTU is mostly ultra-muscular dudes running around, scantily clad in barbarian garb that is bright and colorful. doing that in live action presents some issues- unless you're willing to compromise somewhere.
there's a lot of good actors, but not many who can be as physically imposing as your average MOTU character. there's plenty of huge buff dudes, but not too many are very good actors. some of that would be resolved by keeping the speaking parts among henchmen minimal, but still.
the costumes may have some trouble translating to live action. in CGI, no compromises have to be made. anything and everything can be done.

|"We got benders and nonbenders living together down here, but do you see us fightin'? No siree; we've figured out how to harmoniously co-exist."
|— Gommu explaining his lifestyle to Team Avatar.[1]
Gommu[2] is a former telegraph operator for the United Forces and one of the many vagabonds living in Republic City. He enjoys his nomadic lifestyle and has already called many places in the city his home: Republic City Park,[3] the capital's sewers,[1] and its Spirit Wilds.[4] Optimistic and free spirited in nature, Gommu holds no prejudices toward benders despite being an impoverished nonbender himself. Because of this, Gommu offered assistance and shelter to Team Avatar when the radical Equalists captured the United Republic capital.[1]
Early life
Gommu was born in Republic City to two immigrant nonbenders. He was raised in an orphanage until he was fifteen, when he lied about his age to join the United Forces as a telegraph operator. Working on ships as they traveled the world, Gommu grew to love the nomadic lifestyle.
When the United Forces began replacing telegraphs with radios, Gommu found himself unemployed. Unsatisfied with the stationary life, he became attracted to the nomadic vagabond culture. Eventually, he gave up his residence altogether and took to roaming the city looking for work and helping out his fellow citizens.[2] He eventually procured a fine bush in Republic City Park and made that plant his new home.[3]
Meeting Korra
Gommu encountered Avatar Korra when she visited the park in search of food. While she was using her firebending to fry some fish she had caught in the pond, the vagabond emerged from his bush and asked if he could have one of the three "tasty-smelling fishies" Korra had caught. She granted his request and, trying to make conversation during their awkward meal, learned that the man was proud to be living in the bush from which he had emerged and that there were many more vagabonds like him in the city. This confused her, as she had previously thought that everyone in the city was "living it up", a statement met with a laugh from Gommu. After telling her that she had a lot to learn, he formally welcomed her to Republic City.
Their conversation was cut short when a guard came running toward them, yelling that they could not fish in the pond. Hopping to his feet, Gommu warned Korra that she had better "skedaddle" and promptly dove for cover in his bush. As Korra rode away on Naga, he emerged from his bush once again, waving goodbye to his new friend.[3]
Hosting Team Avatar
Once the Equalists had taken over Republic City, Korra and her friends went into hiding with Gommu, who resided underground in a shelter where benders and nonbenders lived in harmony. The vagabond provided Team Avatar with food "from the best dumpsters the city [had] to offer", much to Asami's disgust.[1]
Later, after General Iroh joined the group, Team Avatar planned to send a telegram to Commander Bumi, asking for assistance. Gommu, being able to operate a telegraph, helped the group and sent the message.[1] However, the telegram was intercepted by Hiroshi Sato.[5] Gommu was upset when Team Avatar split up to fight the Equalists, proclaiming, "Good fortune and success to you, valiant heroes."[1]
Three years after Harmonic Convergence, Gommu moved into the Spirit Wilds of Republic City and befriended a multitude of spirits already living there.[4] When Kuvira threatened to attack Republic City, Gommu was enjoying a fish he had caught and cooked at Avatar Korra Park. Listening to a radio, he heard Prince Wu urge everyone to evacuate. As such, he grabbed the hand of the officer that had approached him to reprimand him for his illegal fishing activities and left to a nearby vehicle to leave the city.[6]

- His name was created after the show had started airing, which is why he is never referred to as Gommu in the show.[7]

The degree awarded by the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering is a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering.
The undergraduate program at Notre Dame is notable for its combination of a strong fundamental focus in chemical engineering courses with a broad humanities and science education provided in courses outside of chemical engineering.

Being the best at being you, not the best at what you do.
by, November 19th, 2018 at 01:40 PM (783 Views)
Q: Do you want to be the best at what you do? Are you waiting for an invitation?
A: Consider my invitation to you is signed, sealed and delivered. Now lets figure out how you can get started.
What does being the best even mean? Is it reaching the pinnacle of an ability, expertise or skill as compared to your peers? Careful. In most cases, pinnacles can be have very little room for growth and very limited space to go any higher once the top is reached.
Instead of being the best, think about being your best. Find time every day to get better and become excellent at what you do.
Excellence is a choice a life long strategy that requires commitment, dedication and effort. It starts with you having a positive mindset believing that every day begins with the opportunity to make it better than the day before.
Each day, write down something positive that happened. This could be something you did for a friend, family member, stranger or something someone did for you. In addition, do something positive for yourself and write it down. Build your book of positive outcomes. Think of it as your Fitbit for mental health.
Make finding positive outcomes an important goal of each day of your life. Be good at it, be great at it and you can become the best at being you.

Premier 8 May 2010.
Dance. In the opera season 2007/2008 they each had a part in the sold-out box office success production 3×Boléro. Now Johan Inger and Alexander Ekman return to create two new productions exclusively for our dancers.
Dubble bill dance preformance by Johan Inger, Alexander Ekman och Medhi Walerski
Watch a movie from the performance.
Watch pictures from the performance.
Falter by Johan Inger.
Johan Inger takes us on an explorative journey from chaos to order with nine dancers, 64 ropes and music from, among others, Alva Noto. His suggestive Falter moves from the fleeting to the permanent; from frenzy to a peaceful calm. The former artistic director for the Cullberg Ballet and current resident choreographer at Nederlands Dans Theater (NDT) has created his first production exclusively for The Göteborg Ballet.
Johan Inger made his breakthrough as a choreographer in 1995 after a very successful dancing career including time spent with Kungliga Baletten in Stockholm and Nederlands Dans Theater (NDT). Inger's choreographies have won awards in the Netherlands, Scotland and Italy. Between 2003 and 2008 he was the artistic director of Cullbergbaletten and in 2006 he was awarded the Birgit Cullberg scholarship. Since autumn 2009 he has been in-house choreographer for NDT.
La La Land by Ekman/Walerski.
In Ekman/Walerski's playful La La Land we meet a group of individuals on a self-help course. Using therapeutic exercises they try to find out how to become "better human beings". Using a combination of dance and spoken dialogue the two choreographers create an accurate and humorous image of humankind's constant efforts to develop. The music is a collage from, for example, Chopin, Puccini and Akron/Family.
The famous researcher Jill Bolte Taylor has inspired the choreographers with her lecture on her self experienced stroke. IClick here to watch the lecture.
In spite of his mere 25 years, Alexander Ekman has established himself as one of the most interesting Nordic choreographers in contemporary dance. He too, has a past as a dancer with Kungliga Baletten, NDT and Cullbergbaletten. His first production as choreographer took place in 2006 at NDT II. Alexander Ekman works with the integration of several dimensions of modern dance, and readily uses dance and text together. In this creation he cooperates with Medhi Walerski.
Medhi Walerski was educated in classical ballet, modern dance and improvisation and has since danced in the Paris Opera Ballet, the Nice Opera Ballet and Ballet du Rhin in Mulhouse, France. In 2001 he swapped France for Holland and joined the Nederlands Dans Theater as a dancer.
After two years in youth dance company NDT II he moved up to NDTI. His participation in their annual workshops started off his career as a choreographer. The then Artistic Director, Anders Hellström, invited him to create a production for the programme "UpComing Choreographers 2006"; the result of which was Moume. The following year he created Buried Dead or Alive together with Alexander Ekman for dance company C-Scope.
His official debut as a choreographer at NDT was Mammatus, created for NDTII in 2008. Later that year he created the praised Underneath for NDT I. In the summer of 2009 Medhi Walerski started freelancing as a choreographer. In addition to La La Land, he will also create a new production for the Bern Ballet in the spring of 2010.

The Preservation Reformatting Division (PRD) provides access to at-risk Library serials, brittle books, newspapers, photographs and manuscripts by converting items to new formats such as microfilm, facsimile copies or digital reproductions. Reformatting is accomplished through programs for microphotography and digital capture.
The goal of the internship is to provide Library Science and Information Technology students, graduates, and post-graduates with the opportunity to study and work with state-of-the-art digital technologies: those used for the digital reformatting of library materials; those used to document and model reformatting and related preservation workflows; and those used to ensure proper workflow execution by enabling statistical process monitoring and control.
Interns have the opportunity to participate in the following key activities to plan, get, describe, sustain, and make accessible reformatted digital and/or microfilm formats for serials, photographs, manuscripts, brittle books, and other items.
Digital Preservation Activities
Plan: Processing management (e.g., assessing materials, processing brittle books, reviewing reformatting policies, etc.) in order to identify the functions and processes to be represented in a fashion comprehensible to library management and IT personnel.
Sustain: Macrophotography – the imaging of small objects – is accomplished using state-of-the-art microfilm digitization workstations (16/35mm roll and fiche). A high-resolution color overhead capture workstation and an image processing and data storage infrastructure enables: high-resolution digital image capture/importation and image quality analysis from microform and printed materials; and image inspection/auditing, editing, post processing, image quality measurement, and process control activities, with a focus on digitizing microform materials.
Make Available: Digital imaging production processes of books and serials with open-source and commercial image editing/image processing software (e.g., imaging materials, managing vendor-created images, conducting quality reviews, and preparing files for use in online delivery systems).
Other Activities
Research: Specification development and deployment using computerized modeling/design tools to develop preservation-relevant process models, data models, flowcharts, and other products that represent existing and planned Preservation Directorate operations.
Tours: The Library of Congress has tremendous quantity, quality, and diversity in its holdings. Interns have the opportunity to tour the other Directorate divisions as well as the many custodial divisions in the Library.
Training and Conservation Professional Activities: Participation in outreach activities such as lab tours for visitors and relevant in-house lectures and conferences. Interns meet curators to discuss collections and are expected to give a farewell presentation of work and accomplishments to Library staff.

May 20, 2013 03:47 PM EDT
(Reuters) - A group of ex-Nokia software developers unveiled its first smartphone on Monday, aiming to prove their former employer wrong by making a success of a technology dropped by the Finnish mobile phone maker. Jolla was founded by Nokia's former MeeGo software team that was shut down after the company decided to switch to Microsoft's Windows Phone software in 2011. With just 70 employees and 11 million euros ($14.11 million)in venture financing, Jolla joins a handful of boutique operating systems such as Ubuntu which together have less than a one-percent presence in the mobile phone market.
Start-ups such as Jolla face a tough task breaking into the smartphone market. Google's Android operating system and Apple's iOS together account for 92 percent of all shipments, according to data from industry research firm IDC. Even Windows Phone and BlackBerry OS trail far behind the top two with a mere 3 percent share each. Jolla chairman Antti Saarnio said the Jolla's openness in allowing users to download Android apps would differentiate it from others. He said the dominance of the top two players wasn't necessarily permanent. "In the long run, if someone brings fresh and new ideas, eventually, the market changes."
The new Jolla phone, priced at 399 euros ($510), runs on the MeeGo-based Sailfish operating system and will also be compatible with Google's Android applications in a clear break from Nokia. The phone comes with a 4.5-inch display and 8-megapixel camera. It will also be 4G-capable, depending on market. The Jolla will go on sale in the fourth quarter, the company said. The company said it planned to focus on the Asian market, as a rapid growth in the region's middle class is fuelling demand for smartphones. It also plans to raise 30 million euros via convertible bonds in June. (Reporting by Ritsuko Ando. Editing by Jane Merriman)

NKY appeals judge tapped for Ky. Supreme Court
Keller has served since 2006
An appeals court judge has been tapped to fill a vacancy on the Kentucky Supreme Court, a move that gives the high court three female justices among the seven members for the first time ever.
Gov. Steve Beshear on Wednesday appointed Court of Appeals Judge Michelle M. Keller of Fort Mitchell to fill the unexpired term of Justice Wil Schroeder.
Keller was elected to the Court of Appeals from the 6th Appellate District in November 2006.
Prior to her election she practiced law for 17 years, as both an assistant county prosecutor and criminal defense attorney. She also served as chairwoman of the Kentucky Personnel Board.
Schroeder stepped down in January, saying he had been diagnosed with a brain tumor and wanted to spend more time with his family.

2010 started with a flurry of placements, which continued throughout the year and I was still in full swing writing my Song of the Week. While still reeling from the death of a close friend, a lot of the later Song of the Week songs touched on mortality from different angles, but I ended the project with a song for my amazingly supportive husband!
Song of the week ended in early April and I rewarded myself and family with a trip to Disneyland. While there I got my first network TV placement on Ghost Whisperer.
May 20th I released 13 of the Song of the Week songs on an album and simply called it Song of the Week. I then started the whole marketing thing all over again but it was fun having a whole load of new, beautifully mastered songs to give to my wonderful publishers.
June was a sad month. I lost my Mum while, ironically, while playing the Relay for Life song at our local relay.It was her favourite song of mine and she had been battling cancer for many years.
July is one of my fave months because I get to be mainstage MC with Todd Butler at Vancouver Island Musicfest. We also got to play songs together too, which lead to us doing gig together in November just for the fun of it! July also saw me attempt the 50 songs in 90 days challenge which I failed miserably, but I got a new album out of it (see Dec).
August was New York month. Getting to see a movie my songs were in, playing a gig and lots of shopping and eating with a good friend… what more could a girl want? I was also mid blog challenge for the book Music Success In Nine Weeks, which challenged some of my thoughts on music marketing.
September got me 2 ads and an album release in South Korea. My husband wants me to get a tour there… he loves the food! October I headed south of the border again, this time to Delaware for the DBMC where I made lots of new friends and got to sing lots too! We also started rehearsal for Voices Three, a big concert with Sue Pyper and Judy Wing to raise money for hospice.
November started with the Taxi Road Rally where I learned a ton and finally got to meet both of my lovely publishers who just as wonderful as I had suspected they would be. I also wrote my first serious article about music licensing after being asked so many times about how I got my music onto TV etc. It was a cathartic thing to write, reflecting on the madness of the intense single mindedness that is my life (until kids need feeding and taxiing).
So we're at the end of December. I have a new album, Treehouse, that I am releasing on Jan 1st 2011 (tomorrow) along with a wonderful video that my talented 13 year old created for the title track. The songs will be on itunes and the vid on YouTube.
After an interesting year I have an interesting story for the end of the year that has nothing to do with music (although may affect my playing anything short term) …
Yesterday while skiing (my fave thing to do with my family) I was taken out by another skier getting some big air on a black run. After being taken down the mountain on a stretcher, had my clothes cut off me and sent to the hospital for xrays, I now have a fractured collar bone and lots of nice drugs to see me into 2011 (so please excuse any typos!).
There are some people I want thank for 2010 – pigFactory and Crucial, my wonderful publishers. Thanks for all the placements. Hans Dekline, the masterful masterer and Brian Hazard for asking me to write the licensing article. I love both of your fb comments and musings… always entertaining! To Jon Ostrow of Mic Control for his support of indie musicians and me! And to everyone who reads anything I write, listens to my songs, comments on my postings and generally makes me feel like I am on the right track. Every little word helps!
Here's to a fantastic 2011. I hope it brings you great things!

Excellent Summary of King Phillip's War
For my fellow military history graduate students who have before or behind you the excellent course, Studies in U.S. Military History, you won't want to miss Episode 1 of the new American Experience series, "We Shall Remain." Tonight's episode, "After the Mayflower," includes an excellent summary of King Phillip's War. It can be replayed online at PBS here.
Jill Lepore, author of the book, The Name of War: King Philip's War and the Origins of American Identity (Vintage Books, 1999) which was required reading for the course, contributes significantly to the film. I wrote a brief post about her book back in September which you can (read here). Dr. Lepore is David Woods Kemper '41 Professor of American History at Harvard University.
Highly Recommend both the series and the book!

Following the extensive (several hours!) hearing on immigration the House Judiciary Committee yesterday, four US Senators released a "Dear Colleague" letter regarding smart enforcement and valuing due process, continuing the active discussion of changing the immigration laws.
The letter raises good points about our current system.
In most cases breaking the immigration law is an administrative violation, not a crime. Deportation is an administrative remedy and persons are (theoretically) "detained" not "imprisoned".
But in reality, persons detained for an immigration violations are often given less consideration than those who have committed crimes – some even have died for lack of medical treatment, for example – or are held in prison with convicted criminals. Children can be "detained" who would never be "jailed".
Also, attention to border security, while critically important, must be done in a way that works. For more information about border security check out Ben Johnson's post in The Hill Congressional Blog and the American Immigration Lawyers' special report, "Border Security: Moving beyond past benchmarks".

I have a question: according to gwhat I've been reading in the book Secret Journey To Planet Serpo there was an open communication line between Earth and Serpo. It was used to agree on time and place of at least two meetings; to pick up the dead Ebens en to bring an Ebe en pick up the twelve men/women (?) from Earth.
In the book Secret Journey To Planet Serpo, I didn't find anything about the use of the posibility to continuously communicate with each other, from the time on the 12 men travelled to Serpo.
I mean, they were in contact with each other, they did send each other messages with the help of the Ebe and later on by themselfs before the twelve men left, but they didn't while the twelve men were gone or after arriving?
That's odd, isn't it? Or did I miss something and there wás communication between the two parties the whole time?
