Where Are You In Your Digital Journey?
I think of blogs as informative and contemplative, which brings me today to the ethereal and yet concrete future of educational publishing. It seems many of our clients are in the midst of gigantic internal shifts ranging from how they are organized to how they produce all types of print, digital, and blended products. While it has been going on for a while, the transitions are now going to shift hiring, roles, reporting structures, and the selling conventions of all products.
What has that meant for iD8-TripleSSS Media Development, LLC? We now have an Advisory Board comprised of some of the greatest minds in educational publishing from K-12 and higher education. We have added a Managing Editor, Allison Murray, effective November 1. Her job title, we decided, doesn't need "digital" in it because the shift now means that it's understood that we are ALL doing working in the digital space. We work with a wonderful company, Finder of Fabulous, who is directing our social media strategy, and we've increased our bandwidth for speed, storage, and transmission because we work almost solely in the cloud now. We totally revamped www.id8triplesss.com to be fully reflective of all that is noted above.
It's fascinating to us here at iD8-TripleSSS who started writing content for the digital space five years ago in small doses and then three years ago in large doses to now being a leader in providing digital content. Today, we are confident in not only writing the content but also building the product as needed—ranging from courseware to curriculum.
What does that mean for products and how students view them? We are working on two App products designed for the iPad-type tablets (the big iPads but I'm sure it'll be for the smaller one, too, now). Students are getting annoyed if their texts are not available online, even if they bought the print version. Students are getting annoyed by carrying large textbooks and would rather get them online--and will pay for them in an online version just to not carry them. This alone will drive what teachers and professors advocate for their students, along with price. This has led to our working on digital texts, acquiring authors to create digital textbooks, and developing content that fills these needs. And yet, we love our print products just as much!
Open source options are finding their way into our bag of tricks as well as this market continues to form actively and "disruptively." We don't think open source options are disruptive; they are innovative and are changing the way we all view access to content and our expectation of how it's built.
Join us on this educational digital journey; draw upon our knowledge and excitement; let us bring you forward with us!

In Attendance at EdNet2012
Earlier this month I attended EdNet2012, a major networking conference for professionals involved in the educational market-space. There were lots of technology organizations there. Large organizations such as Kno and Overdrive, and up-and-comers like us, iD8-TripleSSS, who were there to learn and make new contacts. Although the conference saddled the educational market-space, the sessions and companies were dominated by players in the K-12 market.
Several promising connections were made at EdNet, especially with technology partners that build or have functional products essential to our future service offerings. We had meetings with companies that have state-of-the-art platforms for e-learning, m-learning and everything in between. We also met with some fun companies that may not be a direct fit, but have really wonderful products meant to engage kids of all ages-including me. The company that particularly stands out is FableVision. Check out their Mayan Mysteries social studies adventure that is hot off the press.
iD8-TripleSSS has always been strong in higher education and, the vocational and career markets. We have a smaller, but steady flow of business in K-12 including key areas such as STEM and several of the health professions. We are currently creating content for the lower grades for a 2013 App release and some other smaller products. Perhaps our biggest take-away from EdNet is that it has motivated us to move swiftly towards some new business initiatives in the K-12 area that will transition some of our services into a "service- as - product model" - stay tuned for more on this in later posts.
There were specific themes that came up over and over in EdNet and I want to share them:
- Implementing the Common Core on a state-by-state basis
- New online models
- Digitally enhanced learning
- Assessments, data, analytics
- Adaptive testing
- Interactive textbook platforms
- Blended learning solutions
- School options
- Solutions for the special needs population
- Models of instruction and design
Over the next few months we will elaborate more on these themes and bring in some guest bloggers to share their thoughts. I continue to be excited, motivated and grateful to work in educational publishing at a time when there is so much opportunity to innovate and set new standards in learning.

Reflecting on 10 Years in Business Serving the Educational Market Space
Mid-October marks the 10-year anniversary of iD8-TripleSSS Media Development, LLC. Although we officially came together only 2 years ago, we worked in partnership for many years leading up to our official merger. Thus, our 10-year anniversary feels like "our" anniversary. While we celebrate our 10-years in business, we also look back at the industry evolution and ours since we started in publishing and since we became a service provider.
When we began our educational publishing careers in the mid and late 80's, we were lucky if we had access to a computer. Manuscripts were mailed as hard copy, sometimes with large floppy discs included. Those employees who knew how to work with Wang discs were eagerly sought out. If someone simply dropped an unnumbered manuscript a crisis could ensue trying to piece it back together without the benefit of a back-up copy.
Before a decade had passed, everyone had email, ftp sites, Blackberries, and had gotten rid of such things as X-Acto knives-an old necessity in publishing. And with the amount of new skills and services required, the publishers began to use quality outside vendors. With that mind, our company was born in 2002—serving these wonderful educational publishing companies by providing research, development, and writing services for this last decade.
We have been very lucky the last few years, and we never take that for granted. We were wise (or lucky) enough to recognize that no matter what the educational media might become, there will always be a need for excellent content. We therefore focused our efforts on building up the writing side of the business. Our collective experience as a student and an instructor in online courseware environments gave us the confidence to translate those skills into courseware development for clients. Together, we were able to explore web opportunities early on initiate what has now become the heart of our business-digital content development. We are now digital content providers and courseware creators to well-known publishing groups and several start-ups in the app and open source world.
Please make no mistake--iD8-TripleSSS Media Development's growth could not have happened without the excellent freelancers that have worked with us through thick and thin as well as loyal clients that have been with us the entire 10 years thus far. To say we are grateful for their hard work and loyalty would be an understatement. As we grow as a company and continue to learn we hope you share our excitement about publishing and education. This is the best time to be in our industry; monumental shifts are re-defining every aspect of our business and with these changes are opportunities.

Bette Davis when said that getting old is not for sissies. You can also take a look at a few of the other dudes' pages for ideas on how to boost your own.

But perhaps you're simply clicking all of the profiles, also those who cannot match your preferences, or sitting close to your sibling, and she's also wanting a boyfriend – one who's quick and blond.

First draft progress: A Pleasing Shape
Posted on | October 16, 2008
I passed the 20,000 word mark this morning, meaning that I've managed to write about a half-Lake on the weekdays (less on weekends) (A "Lake" is 2500 words per day. Jay Lake, whose work I admire greatly, manages that when he's in novel writing mode.). I'm noodling (20,000 words is "noodling?") around with a silly three-way romance between my loner artist-with-no-past Darzi, his tabula rasa robot Jouet, and his chain-well-not-exactly-smoking furball of sarcasm and lust girlfriend Peren.
I'm not even sure what I'm trying to say with this story, other than that loneliness sucks and you can overcome it even if you feel like you have very little to offer the world by offering to help someone else out of their loneliness. Still it's nice to be writing something again, even if it's somewhat in my comfort zone.

Speirs v Industrial Relations Commission of New South Wales & Anor [2011] NSWCA 206. Giles JA, Allsop P & Hodgson JA agreeing. 29.07.11.
15 Before any question of reinstatement arises, a worker who has been injured and the worker's employer have rights and obligations in relation to return to work.
16 One of the objectives of the WIM Act, with which the WC Act is to be construed as if it formed part (WC Act, s 2A(2); WIM Act, s 60(2)), is to provide treatment and management of injuries and rehabilitation following injuries in order to promote the return to work of injured workers as soon as possible (WIM Act, s 3(a)). Section 41(1) of the WIM Act provides that the object of Ch 3 of that Act is "to establish a system that seeks to achieve optimum results in terms of the timely, safe and durable return to work following workplace injuries". By s 41A, the requirements of Ch 3 "apply even where there is a dispute as to liability".
17 Within Ch 3, s 48 provides
" 48 Injured worker's obligation to return to work
An injured worker must make all reasonable efforts to return to work with his or her pre-injury employer (that is, the employer liable to pay compensation to the worker) as soon as possible, having regard to the nature of the injury."
18 Section 49(1) correspondingly provides " 49 Employer must provide suitable work (1) If a worker who has been totally or partially incapacitated for work as a result of an injury is able to return to work (whether on a full-time or part-time basis and whether or not to his or her previous employment), the employer liable to pay compensation to the worker under this Act in respect of the injury must at the request of the worker provide suitable employment for the worker."
19 The provisions as to reinstatement are found in Pt 8 of the WC Act. It is headed "Protection of injured workers from dismissal".
20 By s 241, an "injured worker" who is dismissed because he or she is not fit for employment as a result of the injury received may apply to the employer for reinstatement to employment of the kind specified in the application. The employment can not be more advantageous to the worker than that in which the worker was engaged when he or she first became unfit for employment because of the injury, and the employer must be provided with a medical certificate to the effect that the worker is fit for employment of the kind for which he or she applies.
21 Section 240(2) contains the critical definition of "injured worker"
-"(2) For the purposes of this Part, an injured worker is a worker who receives an injury for which the worker is entitled to receive compensation under this Act or the Workers' Compensation (Dust Diseases) Act 1942 ."
22 Section 240(3) provides that a person is the employer of an injured worker for the purposes of Pt 8 "only if the injury arose (either wholly or partly) out of or in the course of employment with that person". The injury bringing dismissal as referred to in s 241 therefore must have been in the employment of the dismissing employer, and the entitlement to receive compensation must be an entitlement to receive compensation from the dismissing employer.
23 Section 242 then provides -" 242 Application to Industrial Relations Commission for reinstatement order if employer does not reinstate(1) If an employer does not reinstate the worker immediately to employment of the kind for which the worker has so applied for reinstatement (or to any other kind of employment that is no less advantageous to the worker), the worker may apply to the Industrial Relations Commission for a reinstatement order.(2) An industrial organisation of employees may make the application on behalf of the worker.(3) The Industrial Relations Commission may not make a reinstatement order, except in special circumstances, if the application to the employer for reinstatement was made more than 2 years after the injured worker was dismissed."
24 Application to the employer in accordance with s 241 is a necessary prior step to an application to the Commission for reinstatement: as earlier noted, the applicant applied unsuccessfully to the respondent in early 2009. When s 242 speaks of "the worker" it means the injured worker to whom s 241 refers. The two sections must be read together. The definition of an injured worker is brought into the operation of s 242, and "the employer" in s 242 is the dismissing employer from whom the injured worker is entitled to receive compensation.
25 Section 243 then provides that the Commission may order the employer to reinstate the worker. The reinstatement may be to employment of the kind for which the worker has applied or any other kind of employment that is no less advantageous to the worker, provided the Commission is satisfied that the worker is fit for that kind of employment; or if the employer does not have employment of that kind available, it may be to another kind of employment for which the worker is fit as further described in the section. An order may also be made for payment of remuneration from when the application was made to the employer until reinstatement in accordance with the order of the Commission.
26 It is appropriate at this point to note the history of the Commission's power to order reinstatement now found in Pt 8 of the WC Act. The history was fully and helpfully considered by the Commission at [112]-[127], and I will not repeat what is there described. The following is a brief outline, at the expense of accuracy in detail.

First Edition of William Goldman's Soldier in the Rain; Signed by Him
Soldier in the Rain.
Goldman, William.$375.00
Item Number: 78036
New York: Atheneum Publishers, 1960.
First edition of this novel which concerns the friendship between an Army Master Sergeant and a young country bumpkin buck sergeant. Octavo, original cloth. Boldly signed by William Goldman on the title page. Near fine in avery good dust jacket. Jacket design by Guy Fleming.
"Unbelievable as it may sound, William Goldman has pulled off a minor miracle by writing at this late date a genuinely funny and touching novel about barracks life. If nothing else, the book is worth the price of admission for its explanation of the ground rules of a game called 'Grading Women'... There is a full, rich measure of reading pleasure in this book that expertly runs the gamut from belly laughs to tearjerking. Long after you've forgotten the details of the incidents, you'll remember the warm thread of compassion that runs through the book. Soldier in the Rain, to put it bluntly and as clearly as possible, is a marvelous book and William Goldman is a most talented novelist." It was the basis for the 1963 American comedy film directed by Ralph Nelson and starring Jackie Gleason, Steve McQueen and Tuesday Weld, with the music by Henry Mancini.

Q. Recently a close friend of mine died at the age of 77. He was very active in the church, involved in several parish ministries and outwardly seemed always happy, enjoying a near-perfect life. I did know that he had some family, health and business problems, but most people didn't have even a hint of that. He was universally respected and revered.
To my great dismay, his persona was dismantled by our pastor, who said in his funeral homily: "(Name omitted) recently came into my office and opened his heart, telling me that he had physical, emotional, psychological and family problems. Who could think that this man who was always smiling — friendly and ready to help everyone — had so many serious issues?"
I was shocked that a priest would reveal private conversation and saddened that my friend's shining armor was tarnished for no reason. No one wanted to hear anything but the best about this beloved friend and brother. Did our pastor overstep his bounds and the vow of confessional privacy when he stepped on my friend? (City of origin withheld.)
A. First (and foremost), your last sentence mentions "confessional privacy." I am quite certain that nothing your pastor said in his homily had been revealed to him in the context of your friend's confessing his sins. Every priest I have ever known recognizes the sacredness of that seal and guards it carefully.
When the homilist mentioned the man's "problems," he probably meant to praise him for carrying himself with apparent joy even while dealing internally with such difficulties. Your question does serve, though, as a valuable caution for priests. Before delivering a homily, a priest ought always to imagine how his words might be received by people in the pews.
Funeral homilies demand a particular delicacy. If the issues the deceased dealt with are common knowledge, a reference might be proper; if, however, the congregation is largely unaware of such matters, they are best left unmentioned.
Q. I must confess first to a bias, because John the Evangelist is my baptismal patron saint, but I have always wondered why — in the A, B and C cycles of scriptural readings for Sunday Mass — the rotation includes only the Gospels written by Matthew, Mark and Luke. (Milwaukee)
A. Prior to the Second Vatican Council, the same readings were used every year for the Sunday Masses. The first reading was usually from one of the epistles, and the Gospel readings were most often taken from Matthew or John, less frequently from Luke and only rarely from Mark.
The bishops present at Vatican II declared that "the treasures of the Bible are to be opened up more lavishly, so that richer fare may be provided for the faithful at the table of God's word," (Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, No. 51).
The result is the Lectionary as we have it today, with a three-year cycle of Sunday readings. Year A uses for the most part the Gospel of Matthew; in year B, the Gospel of Mark (the shortest of the Gospels) is used, along with Chapter 6 of the Gospel of John. Year C uses Luke's Gospel. In all three years, the Gospel of John is read during the Easter season.
John's Gospel stands out among the four in that it is more deeply theological and sometimes pastorally difficult, which would help to explain why it is not used in the Sunday Lectionary as often as the other three. (Several passages, for example, seem particularly polemical with regard to the Jews.)
Some Scripture scholars do feel, though, that the readings from John are underrepresented in the present version of the Lectionary used at Sunday Masses — e.g., John's accounts of the call of Philip and Nathanael and of Christ's post-resurrection appearance to Mary Magdalene are not used at all.

This Week's Astrological Reading
The Moon is currently transiting Virgo which can leave us feeling restless with the desire to move forward. In order to do so we are required to push through our limitations, step outside of our comfort zone and get things done. We may feel the need to tie up loose ends and get our affairs in order, as now is the perfect time to be working towards long-term goals.
The wane of the moon, in its final phase before it becomes new once again, gives us the opportunity to gain clarity, set our intentions and say our goodbyes before we enter a new cycle on the 28th of January. They say that the wane of the moon marks our psychological descent into unconsciousness. What this really means for us, is that, if we are open to it we can rely more upon our instincts and intuition as we are in closer connection with our higher-self.
It is our fears, doubts and issues around self worth that prevent us from pursuing and fulfilling our true desires and goals. When we can tap in more to our intuition and higher-self, we can eliminate the obstacles of the self that keep us from moving forward. Confronting our fears, is by no means an easy task, but it is really fear of the unknown that really scares us. When we can identify what we are afraid of (be that judgement, failure, success) and recognise that we are not in control of others thoughts or actions, only our own, we can actively work to put those fears aside and forge ahead!
We are in control of our own destiny, the captain of our own ship and responsible for the shape of our lives.

Theory of attack
Greetings. This is the oldie, but goody section of the course. This next section is important for a number of reasons. If you think about it, attacks occur in stages. In general the attacker has to perform reconnaissance to hone in on the target, to find the weaknesses. Then there will be an initial attack, this is often minimal, in the book Network Intrusion Detection we referred to this as the "grappling hook". Finally, the attacker completes the kill. This attack shows each of these stages. This attack took 16 seconds to complete.

Using the 7Ps as a generic marketing mix: an exploratory survey of UK and European marketing academics
The marketing mix concept is one of the core concepts of marketing theory. However, in recent years, the popular version of this concept McCarthy's (1964) 4Ps (product, price, promotion and place) has increasingly come under attack with the result that different marketing mixes have been put forward for different marketing contexts. While numerous modifications to the 4Ps framework have been proposed (see for example Kotler, 1986; Mindak and Fine, 1981; Nickels and Jolson, 1976; Waterschoot and Bulte. 1992) the most concerted criticism has come from the services marketing area.

Why does the foreign and security policy of the United States so often seem to be not just unsuccessful but misguided, being based on incomplete or otherwise mistaken images of the outside world? Some of the most memorable episodes in America's relationship with the world have included debilitating wars—Vietnam and Iraq being the leading examples—in which the decisions to wage war appear to have been based on incorrect perceptions of those countries. They have included placing bets on ill-fated regimes, such as that of the shah of Iran.

MD5 [MD5] is a message digest algorithm that takes as input a message of arbitrary length and produces as output a 128-bit "fingerprint" or "message digest" of the input. The published attacks against MD5 show that it is not prudent to use MD5 when collision resistance is required. This document replaces the security considerations in RFC 1321 [MD5]. [HMAC] defined a mechanism for message authentication using cryptographic hash functions. Any message digest algorithm can be used, but the cryptographic strength of HMAC depends on the properties of the underlying hash function.

In addition to evidence that gender affects growth, evidence from the 2000/2001 World Development Report: Attacking Poverty shows that gender relations affect all aspects of poverty, including income, opportunity, security, and empowerment. 19 With regard to income poverty, in some countries, girls in poor families receive lower quality nutrition, less health care, and poorer education than their brothers. 20 Likewise, as noted above, female household mem- bers often have less access to and control over the household's pro- ductive resources and income than do male family members.

Orthodontic Emergencies
Occasionally a patient may require care outside of his or her regularly scheduled appointment. Below is a list of some of the problems that may occur and what you can do about them until your regularly scheduled appointment. However, if you have a problem that is painful or you cannot resolve it on your own, please do not hesitate to call us so we can see you and take care of the problem sooner.
Sore Teeth:
Not uncommon after getting braces placed or after an adjustment. Usually lasts 1-2 days. Over the counter pain medication such as Advil, Aleve or Tylenol may be helpful.
Poking Wire:
For a wire that extends beyond the last brace, wax can be placed over the wire to cover the area. If a tie wire is poking, try pushing it in with a pencil eraser.
Loose Bracket or Band:
Unless it is really bothering you, leave it in place. If it was attached to the last tooth, you can try to cut the wire with clean nail clippers. If the bracket or band comes loose, save the bracket or band. Call the office as soon as possible and let us know what happened. We will direct you as to what to do next.
Separator fell out:
Call the office and we'll tell you what to do. If it is lost a day or two before the next appointment, it should be OK.
TPA, Lingual Arch out:
Try to grasp the loose end with clean tweezers and put it back into attachment on the brace. If you can't get it back in, call the office.
Wire tie or Alastic "Donut" came off:
Not to worry. Unless it hurts, you can wait until your next appointment.
Loose Wire: Try to gasp the loose end of the arch wire with clean tweezers and gently slide it back into the tube. If you can't get it back in, place wax over the loose end and call the office.
For accidents involving your teeth call your general dentist immediately. If you ran out of Rubber Bands stop by the office to pick up another bag or call the office to have us mail you one.

2 Ways To Keep Your Well Water Safe
Posted on: 30 November 2016
One of the hardest parts about having access to a well on your property is ensuring that the well water is as safe as possible, mostly because there are many things that can actually contaminate it. Listed below are two things that you can do to help keep your well water as safe as possible for you and your family to drink..
Make Sure The Well Is Covered As Much As Possible
The single most important thing that you can do to protect your well water is to make sure that you cover the well as much as possible when it is not in use. In particular, you will want to make sure that you put a cover or cap on the well whenever a storm is on the way or the wind starts picking up. The reason for this is that the wind or rain can easily spread contaminants into your well, which can lead to your well water becoming dangerous to actually drink.
In addition, make sure that you check the well periodically when there is a storm going on. This is due to the fact that the storm can easily remove most well covers, which can leave the well water exposed.
Search Your Property For Well Access
Another important thing to do when trying to protect your well water is to search your property for any old wells that may be accessing the same water source as your primary well. This is particularly common with older pieces of property where there may have been other wells that have been abandoned over the years. The problem with these older wells is that they may have been abandoned and never properly sealed, which means that pests or the wildlife in your area may have been accessing that well in contaminating the water repeatedly over the course of many years.
If you do happen to find any old or abandoned wells on your property, make sure to contact a will repair service as soon as possible in order to have the well sealed. Once the well is properly sealed by professionals, the chances of your water becoming contaminated will drop off dramatically.
Contact a well repair service, such as Eagle Pump Services, or contractor in your area in order to discuss how they may be able to help you protect your well water. Two of the easiest and most important ways to protect your well water include ensuring that your well is covered as often as possible and searching for any abandoned and improperly sealed wells on your property.Share

THE curse continues. Regardless of party, it's hara-kiri for a politician to step into the shadow of even a mediocre speech by
Senator Obama's televised victory oration celebrating his Chesapeake primary trifecta on Tuesday night was a mechanical rehash. No matter. When the networks cut from the 17,000-plus Obama fans cheering at a
But he has it even worse than Mrs. Clinton. What distinguished his posse from Mr. Obama's throng was not just its age but its demographic monotony: all white and nearly all male. Such has been the inescapable Republican brand throughout this campaign, ever since
For Mr. McCain, this albatross may be harder to shake than
The 2008 primary campaign has been so fast and furious that we haven't paused to register just how spectacular that change is. All the fretful debate about whether voters would turn out for a candidate who is a black or a woman seems a century ago. Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Obama vanquished the Democratic field, including a presidential-looking Southern white man with an enthusiastic following,
Given that the American story has been so inextricable from the struggle over race, the Obama triumph has been the bigger surprise to many. Perhaps because I came of age in the racially divided
Here's one of my memories. In 1970, Linwood Holton, the state's first Republican governor since Reconstruction and a
Today Anne Holton, the young daughter sent by her father to a black school in Richmond, is the first lady of Virginia, the wife of the Democratic governor, Tim Kaine. Mr. Kaine's early endorsement of Mr. Obama was a potent factor in his remarkable 28-point landslide on Tuesday.
For all the changes in Virginia and elsewhere, vestiges of the Southern strategy persist in some Republican quarters. Mr. McCain, however, has been a victim, rather than a practitioner, of the old racial gamesmanship. In his brutal 2000
Though Mr. Bush ran for president on "compassionate conservatism," he diversified only his party's window dressing: a 2000 Republican National Convention that had more African-Americans onstage than on the floor and the incessant photo-ops with black schoolchildren to sell
Mr. Obama's ascension hardly means that racism is kaput in America, or that the country is "postracial" or "transcending race." But it's impossible to deny that another barrier has been surmounted.
Whatever the potency of his political skills and message, Mr. Obama is also riding a demographic wave. The authors of the new book "Millennial Makeover," Morley Winograd and Michael D. Hais, point out that the so-called millennial generation (dating from 1982) is the largest in American history, boomers included, and that roughly 40 percent of it is African-American, Latino, Asian or racially mixed. One in five millennials has an immigrant parent. It's this generation that is fueling the excitement and some of the record turnout of the Democratic primary campaign, and not just for Mr. Obama.
Even by the low standards of his party, Mr. McCain has underperformed at reaching millennials in the thriving culture where they live. His campaign's effort to create a
The theory of the McCain candidacy is that his "maverick" image will bring independents (approaching a third of all voters) to the rescue. But a New York Times-CBS News poll last month found that independents have even a lower opinion of Mr. Bush, the war, the surge and the economy than the total electorate and skew slightly younger. Though the independents in this survey went 44 percent to 32 percent for Mr. Bush over
Mr. McCain could get lucky, especially if Mrs. Clinton gets the Democratic nomination and unites the G.O.P., and definitely if she tosses her party into civil war by grabbing ghost delegates from
Similarly, Mark McKinnon, the Bush media maven who has played a comparable role for Mr. McCain in this campaign, reaffirmed to Evan Smith of Texas Monthly weeks ago that he would not work for his own candidate in a race with Mr. Obama. Elaborating to NPR last week, Mr. McKinnon said that while he is "100 percent" for Mr. McCain and disagrees with Mr. Obama "on very fundamental issues," he likes Mr. Obama and what he's doing for the country enough to stay on the sidelines rather than fire off attack ads.
As some Republicans drift away in a McCain-Obama race, who fills the vacuum? Among the white guys flanking Mr. McCain at his victory celebration on Tuesday, revealingly enough, was the once-golden
In that incident, Mr. Allen added insult to injury by also telling the young man, "Welcome to America and the real world of Virginia." As election results confirmed both in 2006 and last week, it is Mr. Allen who is the foreigner in 21st century America, Mr. Allen who is in the minority in the real world of Virginia. A national rout in 2008 just may be that Republican Party's last stand.Continue reading the main story

Fabric Description
A timeless Prince of Wales check designed in-house at our New York headquarters. About as intricate and large as you'll want to go for a business shirt, glen checks are a great way of introducing pattern and visual interest into your business wardrobe while maintaining a professional appearance. This fabric is woven with a silky smooth 120s 2-ply broadcloth construction for a lightweight, texture-free shirt with a crisp, detailed pattern. Broadcloths are naturally more prone to wrinkling through the course of the day than other fabrics, so if you're the non-iron sort of guy this may not be the one for you. If you like a smooth, lightweight fabric that's ideal for sharp looking patterns however, then this will be perfect. The grey and blue color combination is beautiful and extremely versatile. Try it with a bolder collar like the Roma Cutaway for more of a statement shirt, or go with the President Spread II collar for something more business appropriate.
Fabric Details
- Suggested Style: Business Casual
- Weave: Broadcloth (?)
- Composition: 100% Cotton
- Thread Count: 120s 2-ply (?)
- Thickness: Very Lightweight (?)
- Opacity Rating: 3/5 Fairly Opaque (?)

Michael Officially a Category 4
in Weather
Michael has officially been upgraded to a category 4 hurricane, with sustained winds of 114 knots (131 mph)
Michael could become the most devastating storm seen by the Florida panhandle, in recorded history and will probably eclipse Florence in wind damage. Category 1 winds should extend inland, well into Georgia and the southeast corner of Alabama.
At this time, we are already seeing signs of incoming storm surge, as waves are now reaching the top of the beaches. We expect them to get much higher. If you live in a coastal area, evacuate, now. Rescuers will not be able to reach you, after the storm begins.

Under an ordinance enacted in 2014 by the Chicago City Council, the minimum wage for Chicago workers increases gradually from $8.25 to $13.00 per hour by 2019, followed thereafter by increases based on the consumer price index (CPI). The minimum wage of tipped employees also increases gradually from $4.95 per hour to $5.95 in 2016, followed thereafter by increases based on the CPI.
The ordinance stipulates that the minimum wage will not increase when the unemployment rate in Chicago for the preceding year, as calculated by the Illinois Department of Employment Security, was equal to or greater than 8.5%. The ordinance also provides that if the CPI increases by more than 2.5% in any year, the minimum wage increase is capped at 2.5%. The first minimum wage increase to $10.00 and $5.45 per hour for tipped employees goes into effect July 1, 2015.
Minimum wage for City of Chicago contractors and subcontractors.
On September 2, 2014, Mayor Emanuel signed an Executive Order requiring all City of Chicago contractors and subcontractors pay their employees a minimum of $13 per hour for work performed under a City contract. On September 30, 2014, the Mayor requested that all City of Chicago sister agencies follow suit.
Other employer requirements effective July 1, 2015:
Proof of gratuity paid to tipped employees.
Employers that pay a covered tipped employee must make available at the request of the Commissioner of Business Affairs and Consumer Protection substantial evidence that establishes: (i) the amount the employee received in gratuities during the relevant pay period and (ii) that no part of that amount was returned to the employer. If an employer is required by the state minimum wage law to provide substantially similar data to the Illinois Department of Labor, the Commissioner may allow the employer to comply with this requirement by filing a copy of the state documentation.
Workplace notice of minimum wage.
Employers with a business facility in the City at which a covered employee works must post notice at the facility of: (i) the City minimum wage and (ii) the employee's rights under the ordinance. Note that employers that do not maintain a business facility within the geographic boundaries of the City and households that serve as the worksite for domestic workers and home healthcare workers are exempt from this requirement.
Paycheck notice of minimum wage.
Employers must provide with the first paycheck issued to any covered employee a notice advising the employee of: (i) the City minimum wage and (ii) the employee's rights under the ordinance.

With the Ryder Cup done and dusted, golf fans around the world can now switch their attention from Scotland to Portugal for the Portugal Masters, which takes place in the Algarve 9th-12th October.
The tournament will take place at the Oceanico Victoria Golf Course, an Arnold Palmer course in the resort of Vilamoura, close to Faro Airport and a popular place to own property in the Algarve.
The Oceanico Victoria, which covers around 90 hectares, is Portugal's most recent golf course project in Portugal and described as one of the most sophisticated golf courses in Europe. Several lakes, occupying 13 hectares, provide mirrors of water and strategic reservoirs for irrigation.
The course has five or six tees per hole; wide, undulating fairways; extensive water hazards and cleverly positioned bunkers. In addition there is an exceptional driving range and a 2,500-square-metre putting. Oceanico Victoria was host to the PGA World Cup in 2005.
Property in Vilamoura is sought after, thanks to the area's world-class golfing facilities, the resort's marina with selection of bars and restaurants and its balmy year-round climate. The Portugal Masters will put the area in the global spotlight and showcase the best of Portugal's golf facilities, as well as what's available in the Portuguese real estate market.
At the Portugal Masters 2013, Scotland's Scott Jamieson had spectators on a knife edge at the 18th when he came close to becoming the first player to score a sub-60 on the European Tour – unfortunately his chip stayed out.


text: Dhoni vs Sehwag: always foes, never friends Not the best of pals even in India colours, Sehwag and Dhoni will have more than pride to fight for. Rohit Bhaskar reports. Face off: Chennai Super Kings vs Delhi Daredevils india Updated: May 26, 2012 01:55 IST Rohit Bhaskar Hindustan Times MS Dhoni and Virender Sehwag are not bosom buddies. Just how deep the rift runs, however, came to the fore in the calamitous tour Down Under last winter. There was talk of disagreements and a very damning report of mutinous rebellion behind closed door.The conspiracy theorists began working their brains overtime, when Sehwag was 'dropped' for the Asia Cup soon after the disastrous tour. They again smelled something foul when Sehwag was 'rested' from the Delhi Daredevils last two league matches, both against teams that could have theoretically usurped Dhoni's Chennai Super Kings. However, the official version for all the above was Sehwag sustaining an injury, one that makes more sense than the naysayers conspiracy theories. As teammates in the national team, the tense air between the duo can possibly be crippling, if the humiliating defeats in Australia were any indication. In the second IPL qualifier on Friday, however, it will be this very tension that drives the two individuals and their teams in a do-or-die situation.Their respective teams have taken very different paths to get here. Delhi Daredevils have set the pace all season long, before the Knight Riders got the better of them in the first qualifier. Chennai, on the other hand, knew their destiny wasn't in their hands, and were dependant on other results going their way. One after the other, all the three teams that could have knocked Chennai off their perch fell short.Contrasting formBoth the skippers' form mirrors that of the team. In the first phase of the tournament, Sehwag was a man possessed. He went on a tear that saw him strike five fifties on the trot, a feat nobody had achieved in the IPL's history, not even that picture of T20 consistency, Chris Gayle. However, since that streak he has plateaued, and failed to reach double digits in three of his last five innings, with a best of 23.Dhoni, as his wont, was cool and composed in the first stage, even in the face of adversity. A man for the big stage, Dhoni almost appeared to be coasting through, playing himself lower down the order, for most of the season. It all changed in one innings.Cometh the hour, cometh the man, goes the old adage, one that would aptly sum up Dhoni. Had it not been for the India skipper, CSK's reign as two-time IPL champions almost never happened. Two years ago, they were staring elimination when Dhoni played an innings befitting of the setting. In Dharamsala, Dhoni took it upon himself to take his team into the finals. A year later, in the grandest stage of all Dhoni played the innings of his life to win India the World Cup. On Wednesday, it was that man again. Dhoni's 20-ball 51 was the latest in a series of game changing knocks played when it mattered most. Will he have another one of those days at the Chepauk on Friday? First Published: May 25, 2012 00:02 IST

1315 "Now when the apostles at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent to them Peter and John, who came down and prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit; for it had not yet fallen on any of them, but they had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Then they laid their hands on them and they received the Holy Spirit" (Acts 8:14-17).
1316 Confirmation perfects Baptismal grace; it is the sacrament which gives the Holy Spirit in order to root us more deeply in the divine filiation, incorporate us more firmly into Christ, strengthen our bond with the Church, associate us more closely with her mission, and help us bear witness to the Christian faith in words accompanied by deeds.
1317 Confirmation, like Baptism, imprints a spiritual mark or indelible character on the Christian's soul; for this reason one can receive this sacrament only once in one's life.
1318 In the East this sacrament is administered immediately after Baptism and is followed by participation in the Eucharist; this tradition highlights the unity of the three sacraments of Christian initiation. In the Latin Church this sacrament is administered when the age of reason has been reached, and its celebration is ordinarily reserved to the bishop, thus signifying that this sacrament strengthens the ecclesial bond.
1319 A candidate for Confirmation who has attained the age of reason must profess the faith, be in the state of grace, have the intention of receiving the sacrament, and be prepared to assume the role of disciple and witness to Christ, both within the ecclesial community and in temporal affairs.
1320 The essential rite of Confirmation is anointing the forehead of the baptized with sacred chrism (in the East other sense-organs as well), together with the laying on of the minister's hand and the words: "Accipe signaculum doni Spiritus Sancti" (Be sealed with the Gift of the Holy Spirit.) in the Roman Rite, or "The seal of the gift that is the Holy Spirit" in the Byzantine rite.
1321 When Confirmation is celebrated separately from Baptism, its connection with Baptism is expressed, among other ways, by the renewal of baptismal promises. the celebration of Confirmation during the Eucharist helps underline the unity of the sacraments of Christian initiation.
- A two year process, which requires the candidate to be class six and above.
- Be baptized catholic and take part in the sacramental life of the church
- Be willing to commit to active involvement in the parish confirmation catechesis
- To register download the form and fill in and return to the parish office.
- Classes are available for adults who desire to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation or would like to learn more about their Catholic Faith. Candidates for adult confirmation should be actively participating in their faith and have received First Communion.

A method of procreating that is becoming increasingly more common and accepted, using a surrogate to have a baby was once almost unheard of. However, with the various advances of medicine many people who would have never been able to carry children in the past, are now able to plan families. In fact, one notorious and recent example is that of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. After experiencing complications with her first two pregnancies, the couple opted to hire a surrogate to continue to grow their family.
As we know, using surrogates is becoming much more common amongst the entertainment crowd. Not only do they have more than enough money to cover the process, but they also typically have the motivation to do so. For instance, some women may want to avoid damaging their physique and may instead opt to have a surrogate to carry the baby. On the flip side, there are also things such as time restrictions and of course, fertility issues, which often leads these people to go the surrogacy route. Nevertheless, all show business isn't for show. Therefore, there are times in which the public is kept in the dark with regards to surrogacy and sometimes, even their parent status. That said, the following is an overview of 16 celebrities you probably never knew used a surrogate to expand their families.
16 Camille Grammer
Despite seemingly having it all, the one thing the Grammer's could not have (naturally) was a baby. Due to the fact that she suffers from a rare, yet severe form of irritable bowel syndrome, Camille Grammer was unable to give birth as she was told she could suffer from severe complications as a result.
Nevertheless, after contact the Center for Surrogate Parenting, they were introduced to the woman who would be their surrogate, Juliana. Perhaps it was her previous experience as a surrogate, or maybe it was the fact that she worked as a nurse, but the Grammer's opted to rent her womb out to bring their bundles of joy into the world. Juliana gave birth to their daughter, Mason Olivia, in 2001 as well as their son Jude Gordan, in 2004.
15 Lucy Lui
After working with UNICEF for over a decade meeting some of the most gorgeous, friendly babies from all over the world, Lucy Lui caught a baby fever of her own. Nevertheless, being a single woman, making a baby was much easier said than done. Opting to get a surrogate, Lui was very excited at the notion to just take a break from her busy career and focus on being a mother.
After traveling the world for many years, the normalcy of motherhood was just too compelling to ignore. Rockwell Lloyd was born in August of 2015. Now enjoying a much simpler life, Lucy Lui enjoys the magical moments of watching her son grow everyday and has since taken on causes such as saving art in schools in addition to her other well-known cause, child trafficking.
14 Amy Smart
Another star who shocked her fan base by abruptly announcing the arrival of their new baby, Amy Smart spent many years privately contending with her fertility issues. An actress and model who many may have believed to be too vain to carry her own child, was actually not able to do so, to no fault of her own.
While in previous generations a couple in their 40's with fertility issues would have likely only have been able to conceive with the help of a divine miracle, we live in an age in which surrogacy is now a perfectly acceptable option. The couple was thrilled to announce the arrival of their new daughter, Flora, in December of 2016. They were even nice enough to thank the surrogate for carrying her in the IG caption!
13 Jordana Brewster
A gorgeous couple that first met while filming "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", the true horror story came when Jordana realized her issues with fertility. Nevertheless, the couple opted to go the surrogacy route and have since brought two beautiful children into the world.
One of the more candid celebs who have taken this route, although Jordana asserts her life in the spotlight made it impossible to hide her use of a surrogate, she has also asserted that she feels lucky to be able to be so open and honest about the process and how it has affected her life. After a successful, full-term pregnancy with their oldest, Julian, the couple once again used a surrogate to welcome their second born, Rowan. Although it seems the couple may be done for now, neither has asserted that they are done expanding the family. We will certainly stay tuned to these 2.
12 Grace Hightower
If nothing else, the use of surrogates in Hollywood is changing the way couples plan their families. For instance, Robert De Niro and his wife, actress Grace Hightower had already lived the family life, nearly separated, and came back together to once again expand their family. Now in their older years, each of them does look young for their age, which is hopefully a positive sign for things to come.
Either way, the recluse couple seems absolutely thrilled to once again be raising a small child and they are leading the way for older couples as well as those with innate fertility issues. Despite having 5 kids spread across 3 different family units, De Niro has opened up and admitted that it can be a struggle raising that many kids, especially when in different households. However, he has also stated that learning to listen to his children has made a world of difference.
11 Dylan Lauren
No matter how you look at it, Dylan Lauren is essentially fashion royalty. The gorgeous daughter or fashion icons Ralph and Ricky Lauren, However, unlike many of the men and women on this list, Lauren did not use a surrogate due to fertility issues.
Rather, due to her and her husband's busy schedules and her need to help keep the family empire afloat, Dylan opted to use a surrogate as a means of saving herself some time and trouble. Either way, now in her mid-40's, the couple welcome a set of fraternal twins, Cooper Blue and Kingsley Rainbow, in 2015. Moreover, the couple seems to be thrilled with their decision. Since their birth, the family appears to be happy and well-functioning. Dylan, herself, has asserted she has no regrets with regards to going through with the process.
10 Kara DioGuardi
A woman with a story that's much more severe, the reason for Kara using a surrogate differs from most others we've seen thus far. Unfortunately, the former "American Idol" judge had some serious health issues that prevented her and her husband, Mike McCuddy, from conceiving naturally.
After learning she was a carrier for the BRCA2 gene mutation, which is linked to heredity diseases, Kara opted to undergo a surgery. Although this greatly reduced her risk of contracting anything, it obviously made it impossible for her to carry a child naturally. Fortunately, the couple did not give up and welcomed their son, Greyson James in 2013. Although she still has to have her health status evaluated every 6 years, the music publisher is looking forward to living a long healthy life being a wife and mother.
9 George Lucas
On the flip side, since getting older no longer means you can't become a parent, George Lucas (now in his 70's) and his wife, Mellody Hobson, (who is approaching 50), decided to bring a child into the world via a surrogate in 2013.
After getting wed earlier that year, the couple couldn't wait to explore their option with regards to expanding their family. Being Lucas' 4th child and his wife's first, they were both thrilled for the opportunity to continue to expand the family. Furthermore, despite having three children already, all of his children were adopted, so this is actually their first "biological" child. Needless to say, Everest Hobson Lucas is one spoiled child and the family is thrilled to have achieved this miracle.
8 Christiano Ronaldo
A gorgeous family within the field of sport, Christiano Ronaldo and his girlfriend, Portuguese superstar, Georgina Rodriguez have some serious experience with regards to surrogacy. Although he prefers to keep his life mostly private, their son, Christiano Jr. was born to an unknown surrogate in 2010.
The world's richest soccer player, despite an array of rumours about his preferences and countless critiques on the fact that the couple have yet to wed, the family continues to function as a happy unit and expand. Just last year, the couple welcomed a set of twins via surrogate. Either way, no matter if it's vanity, fertility issues, or some other reason entirely, one thing's for sure, those children are just as gorgeous as their parents!
7 Katey Sagal
So, if you're an 80's/90's baby, it may be astounding to find out that there may have been a time in which Mrs. Peggy Bundy was not actually "married with children". Nevertheless, after her first marriage failed, Sagal thought she would be done with the family life.
Indeed, although she has a grown daughter and son who she loves dearly, her kids being of age changed her life to the point in which she was able to settle into enjoying her single years. Nevertheless, once she met and fell for her now husband, Kurt Sutter, things began to change. Despite not wanting more kids at first, the couple eventually changed their minds since Sutter didn't have any biological kids of their own. However, as their biological clocks continued to tick, they soon found challenges in the baby-making department. The couple welcomed a new baby girl to the family via surrogate in 2007.
6 Elizabeth Banks
After many years of contending with fertility issues, well-known actress, Elizabeth Banks opted to seek outside help to become pregnant and expand her family. Despite various issues with conceiving, the What to Expect When You're Expecting star and her husband, Max Handelman decided to try their hand at surrogacy. Despite some misgivings about not being able to carry her own child, Banks said her concerns were quelled when various women who had their children via surrogate told her they barely remembered not being pregnant.
Welcoming her baby boy, Felix, just last year. Although she reports some issues with balancing work and family time, the actress is thrilled to have been able to bring a child into the world and may one day do so again.
5 Ellen Pompeo
A well-known actress, director, and producer, Ellen Pompeo is actually one of the highest paid actresses on television. However, as we all know, money isn't everything and it certainly can't always fix fertility issues. Speaking candidly on Jimmy Kimmel Live, the actress joked about enjoying the secrecy of the surrogacy privacy but also said part of the reason she kept it a secret for so long was to protect the privacy of the surrogate. Either way, the actress and her husband, Chris Ivery now have three children.
The first of which, Stella Luna, Pompeo definitely carried naturally. On the flip side, Sienna May was born via surrogate in 2014. However, while they have been fairly tight-lipped about their most recent edition, Eli, who was born in 2017, it has been presumed that he was carried via surrogate as well.
4 Nicole Kidman
Known for being an (occasional) blonde bombshell, an amazing actress, and even the ex of the excessively kooky Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman certainly has lived an incredibly interesting life thus far. Moreover, unlike most people on this list, Kidman has adopted two kids (with ex-husband, Tom Cruise), has carried and birthed one child naturally (with her now husband, Keith Urban), and has also had a child with the use of a surrogate.
However, after experiencing years of fertility issues, the 5-year old actress is now holding out hope to once again birth a child naturally. Still interested in expanding her family, Kidman says that many women in her family birthed children later in life, which gives her hope that she can do the same. Either way, given that she has stated that children are the light of her life, it is highly likely that she will once again try the surrogacy route if she fails to conceive naturally.
3 Jimmy Fallon
On the flip side, beloved talk show host, Jimmy Fallon, also opened up about his use of a surrogate in order to expand his family. Following a surprise baby announcement on his talk show, Fallon admitted that he and his wife, Nancy Juvonen, had been having fertility issues and after many failed attempts at conceiving, opted to try the surrogacy route.
Credited with helping this method of conception more mainstream and acceptable, many were grateful to Fallon for opening up about he and his wife's fertility issues, which ultimately led the couple to conceiving in this manner. Going into depth about their "awful 5-year fertility struggle", made many admire him for his candid ability to speak out. Either way, his daughter, Winnie Fallon, was born in July of 2018.
2 Cindy Margolis
She is a wildly successful actress, talk show host, super model, and author. Most well-known for being a blonde bombshell, Cindy Margolis was actually set the Guinness World Record for the World's Most Downloaded Woman in 1999, among many other accolades she earned throughout the course of her career.
However, despite being highly successful in her professional life, Cindy continued to struggle personally. In particular, she experienced significant trouble when attempting to have a baby. Suffering from "unexplained fertility issues", after first trying to go the In-Vitro Fertilization, to no avail, Cindy and her husband, restaurateur Guy Starkman, decided to go the surrogacy route. The surrogate, Shannon, gave birth to Margolis and Starkman's twin girls, Sabrina and Sierra, in August of 2005, and also became good friends with Cindy throughout the process.
1 Angela Bassett
If you've seen Angela Bassett out with her family, odds are, you found them to be a rather adorable, close-knit family unit. However, you'd never guess that their set of fraternal twins, Bronwyn Golden and Slater Josiah were actually birthed with the help of surrogate.
Although the couple would have been thrilled to conceive naturally, 7 years filled with failed attempts as well as a failed attempt at in-vitro fertilization left them with few other options. However, as luck would have it, a close friend announced she was expecting with no signs of being pregnant. Once she explained that she would be having her baby with the use of a surrogate, something clicked in Angela's head and the rest is Hollywood history. The twins were officially introduced to the world on January 28, 2006.
