Two mistakes I made when finding a mentor
Finding a mentor is important in life but no more so than in trading. Trading is an extremely hard profession and one that arguably many who set down the path of becoming a trader are not fully aware of.
Failure rates as a trader are very high. You hear some quite shocking statistics over and over again. 80-90% of traders fail! Nice huh? Are you still sure that you want to trade?
One thing you have to remember is that you are likely considering trading or starting trading all on your own. If you weren't, considering a mentor wouldn't be such a pressing concern, after all, most companies have spent a fair amount of time working out how they can leverage the more experienced members experience in order to bring along the newest employees in an ideal manner. If you join a prop firm like SMB they have this down to a fine art. But YOU probably are going to go it alone.
As such a real mentor is key to your development.
Adam Jowett wrote an excellent post the other day with 10 tips for picking an awesome trading mentor and I think it's such a good post that you should click on over and read it.
I made two mistakes early on that I'll tell you about so that you can avoid them. In fact they are kind of linked to a degree.
The first was that my mentor was a trading systems guy. We are talking hardcore coding ability, design your own testing platform, design automated trading systems…. happy as a pig in the mud when working on getting the intricacies of a trading plan into computer code.
That's just not me. As it turns out I love designing trading systems, even testing them to see how effective they are but I am my happiest when I am in the creative design stage or actual execution stage. I learnt a great deal from spending time with this trader but I didn't realise, as like most people starting out, I didn't know enough to know that we were a poor fit.
The second major thing was that we didn't really cover something pretty integral to this whole discussion. I / we didn't express clearly that we were entering into a mentor / mentee relationship. This is so obvious now but there was probably a lot of subtle miscommunication as I was hoping for a mentor and this trader was being more of a nice bloke or friend providing graciously a helping hand to another trader.
As Adam says in his article find a mentor who clicks with you, who has the war stories, and be clear that you would like him or her to mentor you and offer to pay for it.
You can find a great mentor for free but undoubtedly in life you often get what you pay for. Another options you could consider is to find a way to help your mentor and be a trader… set up a trade that will get you some mentoring in return for what you offer. After all traders trade. You can play on that.
Trading isn't easy and whilst fierce independence is a fairly common trait for a trader, utilising social media for a virtual support network, and taking action in finding a mentor, is a very powerful step towards increasing your odds of being successful.

Is Cognitive Computing the Next Disruptive Technology?
Shweta is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
For every tech investor, the questions that always revolve around his/her mind are "What will be the next disruptive innovation?", and "which technology is going to shake the world?" I guess International Business Machines (NYSE: IBM) tries it's best to answer these questions every year. Over the last several years, IBM has been forecasting the technologies and innovations for the future. But this year IBM has something amazing on its plate: 'The Five in Five List'.
Cognitive computing will be a larger part of the future as an emerging field in which computers can operate more like a human brain. The computers will go beyond performing static operations and will begin using the five senses, just like a human brain. IBM's research initiative, such as the IBM Watson, is an early example in the field of cognitive computing that has charmed the world after its launch in January 2011. The Watson project includes a bunch of natural languages, artificial intelligence, and machine learning technologies. On the one side where computer vendors are trying to profit from existing trends such as Cloud computing and big data, IBM is one of those few companies that has gone a step further to create a unique business model for itself that is very difficult to replicate.
Healthcare Application
IBM is exploring various opportunities in different industries that can help it monetize the Watson solutions. Until now, IBM has focused mainly on using Watson in the healthcare segment, where it is helping doctors make important decisions with potential life saving implications, while reducing medical costs. IBM already has an agreement with Nuance Communications (NASDAQ: NUAN) that began in 2011. Under this agreement, both companies will invest in five-year research to analyze and commercialize Watson advanced solutions in the healthcare industry.
Nuance is known for its impressive speech and imaging solutions, and it has a strong foothold in the healthcare sector. It has various voice recognition solutions in healthcare, and this experience would benefit IBM to expand its base in this industry. Currently, Watson is used by Healthcare giants WellPoint and the Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center as a diagnostic aid. IBM is also targeting to use Watson in the field of cancer research, diagnosis, and treatment. The first commercial tool under this agreement is expected to be launched in 2013. Along with this, Pharmaceuticals, Oil & Gas, Financial services, and Telecommunications are the next industries that IBM is focusing on to deploy Watson's capabilities.
The Path Ahead
Presently, IBM's Watson has a trivial share of just 0.3% in total revenue and contributes only ~$0.06 into the EPS. This gives IBM a big scope to boost this revenue stream in new markets. The next interesting move by the company is to develop its Watson technology for smartphones, which would be a superior version to Apple's (NASDAQ: AAPL) Siri. It will be a voice-activated Watson, which could generate a volume of information within seconds. IBM is trying to position Watson as a better replacement to Siri, which has not achieved the desired success for Apple with many unhappy users. Siri is only limited to handling common questions, and therefore Apple is continuously looking out for ways to enhance its productivity. Apple can make an update for Siri in 2013, making it all the more useful for a large number of queries. This loophole in Siri is an add-on advantage for IBM to enter this rapidly expanding market of mobile phones apps. It upgraded 'Watson 2.0,' which would be more suitable for complex inputs as well as energy efficient for Tablets and smartphones. IBM needs to put together the distribution as well as the pricing strategy for the app to grab good market share. I believe with technology like Watson, IBM can completely take hold of the voice-based apps market in the smartphone industry.
The Financial Aspect
Currently the Watson solution makes a minimal contribution to the company's total revenue. However, the future prospects are extremely bright for the company. According to Credit Agricole Securities, Watson technology is expected to generate ~$2.65 billion in total revenue in 2015. Moreover, the contribution margin for Watson solutions is ~70%, which is higher than IBM's other segments. Therefore, this technology has the capability to drive the company's earnings over time. Let's have a look at the below mentioned table.
Source: Credit Agricole Securities USA
Moving forward, I feel the only challenge for IBM is that Watson is an expensive technology for enterprises. The company needs a successful execution policy to create compelling value out of this technology, along with a competitive differentiation for itself. It will need to launch packages with attractive prices for Watson and its technology. But despite this, I see there are two strong reasons why Watson will lay a solid and profitable foundation for IBM. Firstly, I don't see any competition as off now from the big IT giants such as Google, Oracle, and Microsoft. Secondly, if Watson generates great value for a company, the other companies would need the same solution to be competitive. Watson technology is a breakthrough in the field of IT, and IBM has the leverage to capitalize on this big opportunity.

A poll by an Apple analyst reports that as many as 10 million Apple "iWatches" could be sold in its debut year, according to a report.
A poll of 799 U.S. consumers conducted by investment firm Piper Jaffray found that 4 percent of iPhone owners would be early adopters of the wearable computer dubbed the Apple "iWatch", according to AppleInsider. That translates to approximately 5 to 10 million units sold in its debut year.

States Awarded $700,000 for Enhanced Access to Legal Services for Older Americans
Coordinated legal service delivery will help older Americans remain Independent
HHS Assistant Secretary for Aging Kathy Greenlee has announced the award of $700,000 to seven states to help at-risk older Americans have better access legal services.
Awards of $100,000 each were made to legal service provider organizations in Alaska, Delaware, Georgia, Massachusetts, Texas, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia. These grants will bring aging and legal service delivery systems together to improve efforts to protect the independence, health, and financial security of older adults. Many older individuals are facing critical threats to their independence, including the loss of their homes through foreclosure, the destruction of nest eggs through consumer scams, the risk of elder abuse, the challenges in accessing important public benefits, as well as the prevalence of health care fraud and financial exploitation.
"We know there are older adults who need legal assistance from time to time. This can be overwhelming as well as costly especially on a fixed income," said Assistant Secretary Greenlee. "As a former elder law attorney, I know first hand that these programs help at-risk older adults and their caregivers avoid and address legal situations that may threaten their independence and quality of life."
The grantees will work to develop statewide legal service delivery systems that coordinate efforts of senior legal help-lines, pro-bono attorneys, law school clinics, self-help sites, and Older Americans Act-funded legal services providers to ensure maximum impact from limited resources. The target populations are underserved seniors, with particular emphasis upon low-income, minority, rural, homebound, Native American, and limited-English speaking older individuals.
Through the "Model Approaches to Statewide Legal Assistance Systems" (Model Approaches) demonstration grants, the Administration on Aging (AoA) assists states in integrating help-lines and other low-cost legal assistance mechanisms as critical, permanent, and sustained components of comprehensive legal services delivery programs across the country. Upon completion of the three-year grant period, the Model Approaches projects will present cost-effective examples of well-integrated legal services delivery systems and strategies that increase overall service access for elders. It is anticipated that innovative service delivery models will emerge from these collaborative projects that can be replicated in other states that wish to target scarce resources and increase legal services to seniors in greatest social or economic need.
The Administration on Aging has now funded 31 Model Approaches projects to date. More information about AoA services and programs may be found at
www.aoa.gov. For more information on AoA's Legal Services programs, please visit:

A.Sean Kenney, a master
electrician in Amesbury, Mass., responds:
Using a dimmer switch is an inefficient way to save
energy. You've probably noticed that
dimmer switches get warm when in use; while
efficient electronic dimmers don't get as
hot as the old resistor-based models, they still
heat up, which means that they're
consuming electricity.
To evaluate a lighting product's energy
efficiency, you need to consider not just wattage
but also lumens, a measure of light output. Dimmed
bulbs use more watts per lumen than undimmed bulbs
and are therefore less efficient. So a 100-watt
incandescent bulb dimmed to half brightness
consumes more electricity than a 50-watt bulb
operating at full output.
The best way to save electricity is to use the
lowest-wattage bulb possible that will get the job
done. In many circumstances, this means a compact
fluorescent lamp (CFL), which draws roughly 14
watts to provide the same number of lumens as a
60-watt incandescent lamp.
CFLs aren't without their drawbacks,
however: They take a while to achieve full
brightness, for instance, which can be a problem in
areas where lights get turned on and off
frequently, like stairways and hallways. Also, CFLs
contain small amounts of mercury, which can
complicate disposal. Some electricians argue that
the energy used in the disposal process should be
factored in when calculating a CFL's total
energy consumption.
Get the details right when working on historic buildings.

Great Protection
September 19, 2010
Well just before my trip up to Washington I purchased the Noah 12 x 12 tarp. My initial intention was to use it for our cooking area while camping and to dry gear under. The first night had no signs of rain and it was going to be a quick stop camp over nite. I decieded to just string a line, thru the Noah Tarp 12 x 12 over the line, staked it out and used it as a tent to protect me from the dew. Worked great this way. The second and third nites we camped at Deception State Park on Whidbey Island. There I used the Noah Tarp to cover our cooking and eating area. Here it rained both nites and part of the morning. We stayed dry and comfortable while cooking and eating. Also used it to read and hang out before sleep time. Tarp was stretched tight over the line, staked out and did a great job of keeping us dry and our gear also. I was impressed at how eay it was to set up, attach the guy line/tensioners and tighten the tent. Help up well, even with some wind that we had. Would definitely look at Kelty gear again as well as purchasing from Altrec, your delivery was prompt and professional, even when I thought it wouldn't get here in time. I called and was reassured that my package had arrived. Thanks again for your great service and handling great products. John HPros: Great design, Build quality, Performance, Ease of use, Great value
I own Kelty Noah 9 and 12.
October 05, 2010
Excellent tarps. Wish they weren't white as that is not very stealthy for camping, but other than that, they are waterproof, easy to set up and inexpensive. You will need to add a tarp ridgeline, or two tarp lines from the trees to this tarp to be able to set it up: those are not included with the tarp. There are many other lightweight tarps at 2-3x the price that really give little else in protection from rain, and are only slightly more compressible. Only true gram counters, looking for everything ultralight, should consider a different and more expensive tarp. For general backpackers, car campers, tent campers seeking shelter outside their primary tent, these Noah's rock! I enjoy them very much fior their durability and functionality. Recommended!Pros: Build quality, Performance, Ease of use
Fantastic product
June 02, 2009
I was on a trip to NC this spring and unfortunately picked 3 rainy days to camp. Happily, one of my buddies brought his Kelty Noah which provided invaluable shelter from the rain. I picked one up myself when I got back from the trip and used it as a sun shade for an outdoor party we hosted last week. Worked perfectly. Great construction. Ample amounts of eyelets to secure it with. very lightweight. I did buy some extra lines to go with it as the four that came with it aren't really long enough to stretch across the average campsite.
let your imagination do the rest
March 22, 2010
I love this tarp so much I bought one of the 16' tarps. with so many attachment points, you can set it up just about every configuration that you can think of. Extremely versatile. I have rarely used it with poles as usually I can find trees around that I can tie around. I have some light weight poles but lately, I have just been using my trekking poles when needed to save the weight. It is light weight considering the size/material and stuffs down pretty small with a compression sack. there is a difference of the monitor and color.
Ideal Shelter
December 07, 2010
The Kelty Noah's Tarp (9 foot) is the ideal shelter for camping. I still prefer my two man tent when backpacking but when car camping this is a great addition to the tent. Easy to set up using some paracord and tying off between two trees and then staking out. I also carry some old tent poles I had in the garage and they work fine when trees aren't an option. Kept me dry during a constant 3 hour rain and was able to cook with my stove under it. Would not recommend during heavy winds and rain. Have set it up for my cook and lounge area and also closer to my tent for added shelter around the vestibule.Pros: Great design, Build quality, Ease of use
Noah's 12 foot trap
July 28, 2013
Have used Noah's trap only once on a Hells Canyon river trip. Temps were in the 100+ degrees. Used a four pole system with two guide lines per pole, it provided good shade until the winds picked up but was surprised by how well the trap held up during the high winds. We finely had to take it down but I don't think any trap would have held up to the winds. I'm excited to try it again in the rain to see how well it keeps you dry.Pros: Great design, Build quality, Ease of use, Great value

Yoshitsugu Matsuoka, Yōko Hikasa, Kana Hanazawa, Eri Kitamura, Yuka Saitou
A promotional poster for the Campione! television anime series announced the anime's voice cast:
Yoshitsugu Matsuoka (Heaven's Memo Pad's Narumi) as Godō Kusanagi
Yōko Hikasa (K-ON's Mio) as Erica Brandelli
Kana Hanazawa (Kobato.'s title character) as Yuri Mariya
Eri Kitamura (Nisemonogatari's Karen) as Liliana Kranjčar
Yuka Saitou (Student Council's Discretion's Chizuru) as Ena Seishūin
Jō Taketsuki's original light novels centers around Godō, an ordinary high school student who kills a god and claims its powers. As a result, Godō becomes a Campione who slays other gods.
The promotional poster also notes that the third issue of Shueisha's Super Dash & Go! magazine will bundle a drama CD written by Taketsuki on February 25. The same magazine is also serializing the Campione! manga adaptation by Jirō Sakamoto.

Yeah, and it's mostly supporting roles. I guess he's a newcomer considering all his roles are in recent animes.
Btw, I find it's reassuring to see the VA already announced since we didn't get much news until now.
I need Date A Live VA list now ..

If it's 12-eps, I'm sure that they'll cut Volume 3. At least I hope it does, or the anime will be completely ruined.
If it's 24/26 eps, then it'd be perfect.

Yeah .. 2cours anime will be perfect if Ena is introduced, I don't really want another way since the third volume actually pretty important considering it's a story about how Godou became a Campione (although it's not complete) .. Besides, the results of packing 4 volumes (if we discard volume 3) into 12 episodes isn't that great either, the story will get much cut and too fast paced ..

Umm, if it's BIG, it's probably Salvatore, he's called King of Swords for a reason (he's an utter genius with spears, you know). Also, I think he's the only god-level being except for Godou to use swords that we know of, or rather that we have illustrations of.
Edit: I was wrong, there are one or two more guys who also wield swords a bit but that's just it. A bit. And those swords shouldn't be exceedingly large, unlike Salvatore's... which he carries around with himself wherever he goes (!!!)

The region of Emilia-Romagna is well known for its automotive and motorcycle industries, food production and the ceramic industry, all of which have developed in the form of large and successful industrial districts spread over the entire region. Demand for services is strong but the market for services is fragmented with a predominance of low-value added services. In addition, business start-ups remain small and the smallest service companies are very dependent on larger manufacturing companies. The level of internationalisation is quite low and the region remains a net importer of business services. Also, there are no strong service clusters in the region, with the exception of a tourism cluster situated on the Adriatic coast.
The areas to be promoted through service innovation
The focus of the demonstrator is on two service sectors: ICT and logistics. The objective is to foster service innovation in these areas in combination with local manufacturing companies, primarily in the machinery/equipment and the agro-food sectors.
Specific innovations are of course not pre-defined in the strategy. However, the broad aims are to:
Strengths and weaknesses in Emilia-Romagna's innovation system
Lessons being learned that might be reflected in future policies
There are a number of important actions that have to be taken in Emilia-Romagna if its strategy is to be implemented successfully.
The ESIC team identified a need to provide a focal point for all service related initiatives. This need might be met through a specific 'forum' dedicated to service innovation that would bring together all the service innovation activities in the region.
It is also vital that any change is driven by local actors who have the trust and credibility and the networks to bring industry on board. The region will use local change agents to promote the available policy instruments such as network contracts and living labs, and to deliver genuinely new, service-focused, business interactions.
The Large-scale Demonstrator has to reflect both the demand and supply sides of the market and a series of 'living labs' focused on service innovation will be created with a specific focus on ICT and logistics.
The fragmentation of the service supply side can be reduced and this will enable a move towards higher value innovative services. The method that will be used to counteract the fragmentation is the dissemination of network contracts ('contratti di rete')[1] in the service sector.
Practices that have the potential for transfer
Many of the above actions in the systematic approach of Emilia-Romagna could also be valuable to other regions including the use of:
[1] The idea that is behind the 'contratti di rete' is to enable smaller companies to acquire know-how and to access larger business opportunities through cooperation with other, complementary providers.

Beautiful Garbage (also typeset beautifulgarbage) is the third album by alternative rock group Garbage. The album was released worldwide in October 2001 by Mushroom Records UK and in North America by Interscope and was the followup to the band's Grammy-nominated Version 2.0. Marking a departure from the sound Garbage had established on their first two records, Beautiful Garbage was written and recorded over the course of a year, during which time lead singer Shirley Manson chronicled their efforts weekly online, becoming one of the first high-profile musicians to keep an internet blog. The album is marked by expanding on the musical variety, with stronger melodies, more direct lyrics, and sounds that mix rock with hip hop, electronica, new wave, and girl groups. The album's title is taken directly from a lyric in the song "Celebrity Skin" by Hole.[2]
Released three weeks after the September 11 attacks, the album suffered from lack of promotion, mixed reaction from critics and fans alike, and the failure of its lead single "Androgyny" to achieve high chart positions.[3] Despite faltering in major markets, Beautiful Garbage debuted at #1 on Billboard's Top Electronic Albums,[4] topped the album charts in Australia,[5] and was named one of Rolling Stone's "Top 10 Albums of the Year".[6]

The origins of Beautiful Garbage came from a three-day September 1999 recording session during Garbage's world tour in support of their second album Version 2.0.[7] The sessions resulted in "Silence Is Golden" and "Til the Day I Die", which were written for a proposed B-sides album.[8] Both songs were loose and organic, contrasting the very dense layered production that featured on Version 2.0. "Silence Is Golden" in particular had been written with an odd structure for a Garbage song: a 6/8 shuffle that progressed to a straight 4/4 beat.[9]
The sale of the band's North American record label Almo Sounds to UMG in early 2000 put the B-sides album on hold; Garbage decided to simply start work on recording their third album instead.[10] Garbage began writing and recording the album at their own Smart Studios, in Madison, Wisconsin in April of that year. "The only vision we had was that we wanted it to sound different," recalled guitarist Duke Erikson about the influence that the two new tracks had cast, adding that the band wished to evolve the chemistry that the band had developed from touring the previous two years.[11]
Garbage decided the best way to start writing the album was to set up their recording equipment, guitars, keyboards, drum kit and a sampler and "jam" as a group.[11] Their improvisation led the inspiration of a few songs such as "Shut Your Mouth", where the band played for three hours while Manson spontaneously composed lyrics, while "Breaking Up the Girl" came from both Erikson and drummer Butch Vig strumming acoustic guitars in the studio lounge.[12] The band felt that it was foremost that the new songs worked on an emotional level with Shirley's vocals and lyrics.[11] The initial sessions ultimately led to around 32 song ideas to develop further.[7] Smart Studios had upgraded their mixing console to a Trident A-Range model, which the band used extensively. The band tracked directly onto analogue tape using a Studer tape machine, which was then dumped into Pro Tools digital audio workstation. Overdubs and mixing were carried out in Pro Tools.[11]
Vig kept the drums and percussion simpler than before. Percussive tracks were recorded through a thirty-year old Roger Meyer compressor to colour the sound (Vig: "It's really saturated and distorted, but in a very musical way").[11] Some tracks however were fairly scrutinized: an instrumental break in "Til the Day I Die" incorporated reverse tape effects.[11] Vig was not satisfied with his "swing" on a 6/8 groove written for a falsetto vocal Manson had recorded on "Can't Cry These Tears", so he recruited Matt Chamberlain to play the part. The recorded sequence incorporated Chamberlain's contribution, some of Vig's performance and some light programming.[13] Chamberlain also performed a "chopped-up" drum pattern for "Cup of Coffee" and a "bitchin' funk groove" on "Confidence".[14]
Much of the recorded guitar work was heavily processed, the band using a Line 6 Pod for melodic parts and embellishments: for example, for the middle eight of "So Like a Rose", Erikson played a Les Paul with an E-bow through the Pod, while the synth-like intro to "Parade" was created by layering an acoustic part with a clean electric guitar. A tremolo effect on "Can't Cry These Tears" was inspired by 1960s production techniques.[11] The amp modelers were used to pre-effect the recording prior to Pro Tools, in order to prevent phasing. For electric guitar recording, the band utilized cabinet miking - four mikes recorded the output of a Marshall amplifier. Acoustics were recorded using a single Blue Bottle mike.[11] Daniel Shulman, who had performed bass guitar on Version 2.0 and the band's two world tours, spent two separate weeks laying down bass parts. Shulman was given freedom by the band to come up with parts and be creative, creating new basslines on the verses of "Androgyny" and "Nobody Loves You".[15] Shulman revisited "Silence Is Golden", breaking up the straight eighths of the coda to make it more interesting.[15]
Due to Manson's growing confidence and technical skill, the band decided that her vocals did not require much treatment, utilizing a number of guide vocals in the final mixes: the vocal on "So Like a Rose" was recorded on the first take.[11] On some songs, however, Manson's vocal was subject to Pro Tools plug-ins and post effects. "Til the Day Die" featured a digital "scratch"-effect, created by printing her vocal to DAT and using whatever edited passes sounded good. On "Can't Cry These Tears", the four vocal parts were triple-tracked using different mikes, while a guitar riff was matched to her voice for a section of "Breaking Up the Girl". On "Cherry Lips", her entire vocal was sped up and heavily EQ'd.[11] On slower songs such as "Drive You Home", Garbage were not overly concerned with phrasing and pitch, giving it "a rawer quality".[14]
Garbage finished recording Beautiful Garbage at the end of April 2001, and spent a month completing the final mix (some songs had gone through as many as 40 rough mixes).[11] Final EQ, compressing and sequencing on the album was handled by Scott Hull of Classic Sound in New York.[11] Despite running a competition on their website to name the album, Manson's own working title, inspired by a lyric in Hole's "Celebrity Skin" won out.[2] The album artwork came from Garbage's wish for it to be "something organic". The band came up with the fractured rose idea, thinking that it worked well with the album title. Garbage contracted London-based designers Me Company to create the visuals.[16]
More diverse than their first two studio albums, musically more melodic and lyrically more direct, Beautiful Garbage featured contemporary hip hop fused with electronica, with influences coming from 1980s new wave to 1960s girl groups. Garbage acknowledged the broad span of sounds and styles, which range from Prince to The Rolling Stones, Blondie to Phil Spector.[17] Regarding the melancholic lyrics, Manson stated they happened because after two years touring "we were very isolated and removed from our lives", so when writing the lyrics "I felt an overwhelming sense that I need to reinvest in my 'relations'".[18]

Album release[edit]
Preempting the worldwide release, on September 27, Beautiful Garbage was released in Japan through Sony Music featuring two exclusive bonus tracks: "Begging Bone", the B-side of "Androgyny", and "The World Is Not Enough", their James Bond theme from the movie of the same name. The first pressing of Beautiful Garbage featured a pink logo sticker and a tracing paper obi insert. In Australia and New Zealand, the album was released by their label FMR.
On October 1, Beautiful Garbage was released worldwide, with the North American release the following day. Mushroom Records issued the album on five formats within the United Kingdom: a standard edition CD, a limited edition specially packaged CD (in a fold-out rose shaped holder and plastic slipcase), double LP, cassette and MiniDisc. Mushroom licensed the album to PIAS Recordings for release in Western Europe and through their distributor Playground Music in Scandinavia; PIAS pressed their own standard CD, 'rose-pack' CD and double LP formats for the continent. In the United States, Interscope released Beautiful Garbage on CD, double LP and cassette. Interscope's parent company Universal Music released the album in Canada.
Beautiful Garbage mixer[edit]
The CD formats of Beautiful Garbage contained an enhanced element which users could access and remix four tracks from the album: "Shut Your Mouth", "Androgyny", "Breaking Up the Girl" and "Cherry Lips". Created in conjunction with Sonic Foundry, using a customized version of their drag-and-drop ACID Pro music sequencer software, the remixes utilized samples and loops taken directly from the album masters. The enhanced section could be accessed when the user was online; a simplified version of the software featuring only "Androgyny" loops was accessible when the user was offline.[19]
Interscope Records and Sonic Foundry launched a competition in November 2001, in which fans were invited to remix "Androgyny" by downloading free ACID Xpress software. Entrants could then upload their work to a specially created website (www.acidgarbage.com) to stream their mixes online.[20] The winner received copies of Sonic Foundry's ACID Pro 3.0, Sound Forge 5.0, Vegas Audio 2.0, and five loop libraries.[20]
Beautiful Garbage world tour[edit]
Garbage marked the release of Beautiful Garbage by performing an in-store set in Chicago's Virgin Megastore on October 2, 2001. Garbage began touring the album as the opening act on the third leg of U2's Elevation Tour from October 12 in Notre Dame, Indiana, into Canada and through to 24th in New York City.[21] Prior the last show, Vig collapsed from the effects of food poisoning and contracting Hepatitis A.[22] Rather than cancelling the scheduled shows, Garbage recruited Matt Chamberlain to replace Vig for the remainder of the year.[23] Garbage performed a series of underplayed headlining shows in Europe during November, beginning in Trondheim, Norway and ending in London, United Kingdom, on November 14.[24] Garbage then returned to North America for the final Elevation tour Southern State shows, from Kansas City, Missouri on the 27th through to the last show in Miami, Florida on December 2.[25] At the last show, U2 drummer Larry Mullen Jr. played drums on "Only Happy When It Rains".[26] Garbage wrapped up 2001 by performing at the Not So Silent Night radio festival in Los Angeles, California.[27]
The Beautiful Garbage tour started in earnest in January 2002 in New Zealand and Australia, when Garbage joined the Big Day Out rock festival.[28] In between the festival shows, Garbage headlined two concerts in Melbourne and Sydney.[29] Garbage then spent ten days in Japan, performing four headline shows in Osaka and Tokyo.
Garbage launched a headline UK tour on April 1 in Portsmouth, a run that included an acoustic performance in Edinburgh and headlining MTV's 5 Night Stand.[30] The band were supported on the UK dates by Kelli Ali. Beyond the UK, the run extended to a number of shows in Cologne, Amsterdam and Bourges. On April 19, Garbage returned to play a six-week itinerary of North American dates. Beginning in Toronto, the tour was routed down the Eastern Coast of America, over to the Midwest and then onto the West Coast. The jaunt ended with two night stint in Los Angeles.[31] Garbage are supported by Abandoned Pools and on some shows, by White Stripes; during the tour, Vig is taken ill (later diagnosed as Bell's Palsy) and is replaced again by Matt Chamberlain.[32] Garbage wrapped the North American tourdates on June 6 in Mexico City.
A month-long European trek began June 10 in Madrid, covering major rock festivals including Glastonbury and Roskilde. Matt Walker stood in for Vig for the rest of the summer.[32] Garbage perform two shows in Nice and Lyon supporting Red Hot Chili Peppers, and a further two headlining French shows in Lille and Paris with Mercury Rev as support. The European leg ended at Espárrago Rock in Spain on July 12. Throughout the run, Manson is dogged by vocal problems, leading to the cancellation of a few festival appearances. After a six-week break, Garbage return to the United Kingdom to perform their last European shows of the year - two intimate club gigs in London.[33]
With Vig rejoining the ranks following his recovery period, Garbage headed to Australia to perform at the four date M-One festival across the country at the beginning of October.[34] Garbage then joined No Doubt, who were promoting their Rock Steady album, to co-headline a trek around the United States. Support came from The Distillers. Kicking off on October 15 in West Kingston, Rhode Island, the tour was route down the Eastern Seaboard, and into Southern States before heading to the Pacific Northwest region and onto the American Southwest.[35] The tour ended on November 27 in Long Beach, California. Garbage went on to perform one further show, in Hell, Grand Cayman.[36]

Critical reception[edit]
The album had a mostly positive critical reception.[37] Both Rolling Stone's US and Australian editions named Beautiful Garbage as one of their critics "Top 10 Albums of the Year".[6][55]
"Since their inception in 1995, Garbage have doggedly pursued their vision of knowing, sensual pop-rock perfection," observed Ian Gittins in Q. "With Beautiful Garbage… they've come nearer to realising it than ever before… Sharp, seductive music from a band at their peak."[39]

To say that The Walking Dead has been wildly successful on AMC is something of an understatement. From the moment of its 2010 premiere, when it scared up 5.3 million viewers, the post-apocalyptic thriller has been a cable ratings champ. And each successive season has drawn more viewers—almost as if the show were a viral infection itself, turning faithful fans into zombified couch sitters. About 16.1 million of them tuned in for the Season Four premiere, crushing most competition on broadcast television and eating cable compatriots alive. So why is a show that's been advertised with the slogan "Spread the dead" such a hit with the living? Because so many Americans love zombies—in all of their mindless, decaying "glory." Maybe we can point a bony finger of accusation at film director George Romero. After 1968's Night of the Living Dead, zombies went mainstream, groaning and biting their way to our movie screens and comic book pages like never before. And The Walking Dead honors Romero's tradition, sending them shuffling onto our family room screens accompanied by levels of gore usually reserved for theaters with big black R ratings above the doors. Indeed, after visiting the show's set, horror film reviewer Jeff Otto of bloody-disgusting.com said, "This may well be the bloodiest show ever seen on television."Based on the popular comic book series by Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore and Charlie Adlard, The Walking Dead focuses on deputy sheriff Rick Grimes as he tries to keep his son and a small band of survivors breathing in a zombie-strewn world. Humans are minorities in this new landscape, and the "walkers," as they're called, have but one purpose: Kill and eat as many of the human survivors as possible. The only way to avoid such a gruesome fate is to become real handy with a gun. Or a baseball bat. Or a screwdriver. Or whatever other makeshift weapon lands in your hand. The Walking Dead isn't just about killing and re-killing, though: It's about rebooting a new civilization, even as the vestiges of the old one shamble outside the fences. As the fourth season begins, Rick and the rest of this ever-changing cast are holed up in a prison, and Rick has even tried to put down his weapons and make a go of farming. But the show's dystopian circumstances don't allow for principled pacifism: Here, you kill or you die. And if you're really unlucky, you die and you kill. Zombies have always owed at least some of their popularity to the fact that through them society is able to contemplate and grapple with deeper issues. Romero used his zombies to satirize conformity and consumerism. The Walking Dead doesn't seem to have its mind on satire; instead, its dead become more of a backdrop so viewers can examine the living. Themes of family, friendship and even faith rise up almost as frequently as the dead do. And it makes sense: I think even the most secular among us would give an extra thought or two to life after death if they saw their dearly departed Aunt Betty shambling toward them. In February 2013, relevantmagazine.com published an essay on the deeper meanings behind The Walking Dead—an examination of community and, by extent, the sort of community we should embrace. Writes Scott Elliott: "It's a caricature of the dangers we face—underlining the reason we have to stick together. Because as in real life as much as The Walking Dead, there are two kinds of dangers: external forces and forces from within. We have to fight the pride, violence and injustice we see in the world as much as we have to fight internalizing these ugly powers ourselves." But that depth can't dispel the blood and gore that so incessantly spatters across the screen. This is munching-on-entrails, stab-that-shambler-in-the-eye-socket, Zombieland-level violence. And it's turned into something of an illustration of just what you can and can't do on cable these days. The answer? While there are still some restrictions on sexualized content and language, there seem to be few fences when it comes to gore.Show producer/writer/director Frank Darabont told bloody-disgusting.com, "We can't say f‑‑‑, but you can shoot a zombie in the head at point-blank range. I love this business." And when Slate columnist Tim Cavanaugh discussed The Walking Dead's envelope-incinerating approach, he wrote, "It would be ironic if basic cable TV, which remains so squeamish on sexual matters but so tolerant of violence, became the medium for the kind of cannibal holocausts that used to be found only in unrated grindhouse gut-munchers. But it would still be welcome."Welcome? By whom? Us or the zombies?
With zombies lurking around the prison perimeter (attracted in part by live rats fed to them by an unseen traitor), Rick's colony faces another issue: A disease is racing through their ranks, killing survivors and turning them into, perhaps, a different kind of zombie. Several people die and others are infected. Meanwhile, the zombies outside press on the fence until it nearly topples: Rick sacrifices his fledgling pig herd to the horde, slicing the squealers open and leaving them almost like breadcrumbs to lead the walkers away.A zombie bites into someone's neck, then eats parts of the man's organs and innards. The victim then turns zombie himself and gets off the bed as his intestines spill onto the floor. Dozens of zombies are shot or speared in the head; one presses so hard against the chain link fence that its skin is sliced into diamonds. A survivor smashes a zombie head like a melon. Two girls say goodbye to their "turning" father. One tries to take a knife and kill him while he's unconscious, but can't bring herself to do it. (The deed is done by Carol). We see two dead and burnt bodies. Rick's son, Carl, makes crosses for the dead. When he asks whether a victim/walker was Catholic, he learns that the man was a "practicing atheist." Characters say the s-word twice, "h‑‑‑" once and "a‑‑" once; they misuse God's name once or twice. A couple contemplates sleeping together.
Rick searches for meaning in seeing an apparition of his dead wife. The Governor (leader of a rival band of survivors) attacks the prison Rick and his mates are holed up in, dropping off dozens of zombies in the heart of the place. Axel's brought down by a bullet to the head and is used as a human shield, bullets popping into his lifeless body.Zombies are shot, stabbed, crushed, beheaded with a sword and/or run over, with each scene seeming to compete with the others for the prize of being the most gruesome. Daryl and his older brother Merle rescue a family from a horde of walkers—shooting zombies with bullets and crossbows, and smashing one's skull in the hatchback of a car. Merle rummages through the family's car for a "token of gratitude" until Daryl points a crossbow at him, forcing him to withdraw. We hear that a sexual assault against Maggie is accomplished by the Governor having her lover, Glenn, tortured. We hear references to panties and randy raccoons. Characters say the s-word three or four times, "d‑‑n" five or six, "p‑‑‑" twice and "b‑‑ch" once. We also hear a few outbursts of "h‑‑‑" and "bejeezus." Someone hurls crude racial epithets.
Rick and his motley band of survivors find a prison filled, naturally, with walkers. But the prison's system of fences and walls allow the humans to pick them off systematically. Thus, scores of zombies are shot, skewered with arrows, or bludgeoned with machetes or axes or poles—and always, always in the head. The majority of these killings are unflinchingly graphic and full of blood spray. One masked walker, who became a zombie while wearing a riot suit, has his masked ripped away, and most of the skin from his face comes with it. That reveals a mass of still ravenous bone and muscle chittering and growling before he's finally dispatched. But all the survivors' care doesn't prevent Hershel from getting bitten. A walker pulls muscle and sinew off his leg as Hershel screams in pain. The walker is quickly killed. Then, without pausing, Rick creates a makeshift tourniquet and hacks Hershel's lower leg off. The camera watches nearly every blow from the hatchet, which eventually leaves an oozing, bloody stump. One character keeps a pair of armless, jawless zombies as "pets." Carol and Daryl make sexual jokes. Lori worries that her unborn baby may be dead—that it could be a walker inside her, ready to claw its way out. Carl, who looks all of 11, is smitten with 16-year-old Beth, and he seems to want to sleep in the same cell with her. Characters say the s-word three times and "a‑‑" twice.
Rick rushes his son, Carl, to a doctor after the boy's shot. The doctor determines that the pieces of the bullet have to be removed and an organ stitched up. But to do that, they'll need to put Carl under—and the nearest medical equipment is located in a zombie-infested school."Is that why I got out of that hospital?" Rick asks. "Found my family to have it end here like this? Is this some kind of sick joke?" He struggles with his need to do something—run and tell his wife, run and get the equipment—and his duty to stay by his son's side, both as a blood donor and as Carl's pop. Carl's wound looks bad, for the record: The doctor fishes around in the bloody gash searching for bullet pieces as the boy screams in pain. A survivor recoils from the sight of a car seat plastered with gore. A zombie is smacked in the head with a bat and dispatched with a crossbow bolt to the temple. Meanwhile, folks offer thanks to God for their safety and pray for the well-being of others (though one character says prayer is a waste of time). Somebody carries a stash of drugs, including crystal meth and Ecstasy. We hear the s-word once, along with "a‑‑," "p‑‑‑," "b‑‑ch," "d‑‑n" and "h‑‑‑." God's name is abused several times.
"Days Gone Bye"
Fleeing the gutted hospital, Rick stumbles upon survivors Morgan Jones and his young son Duane (a shout-out to the real-life Duane Jones who had a role in Romero's iconic flick). Then he heads to Atlanta to find his wife and son whom he believes are still alive. When his police car and a "stolen" truck (though who's alive to own it?) fail him, he takes to horseback. Of course the horse is graphically eviscerated by zombies.One of the survivors prays over a meal, asking God to watch over them "in these crazy days." But mostly we just see multiple zombies getting shot through the skull. Rick even shoots an undead little girl for little more than shock value. He tenderly tells a suffering zombie that he's sorry she's now undead—then shoots her in the head. A suicide victim's skull is shown blown in half. Entrails, bones, flesh and brains are shown rotted or half-eaten by birds or zombies. Several people—living and undead—are beaten with baseball bats. Language includes multiple uses of the s-word, "b‑‑ch," "h‑‑‑," "d‑‑n," "a‑‑" and misuses of God's name.

The West Virginia women's basketball team came back from a 14-point deficit to defeat Cincinnati 66-62, Saturday, at the Fifth Third Arena in Cincinnati, Ohio.
The Mountaineers (20-8, 10-5) never led by more than five points in the win, putting a stop to the Bearcats' (15-13, 6-9) four-game win streak.
West Virginia trailed by as many as 14 points (16-2) with 13:28 in the first half, but an 11-2 run made it a five-point game (18-13) with 6:25 until the break. Cincinnati worked to pull back away, but WVU never gave up as a Brooke Hampton 3-pointer with 2:22 until halftime sparked a 7-0 run. WVU went into the halftime break trailing 28-26.
Out of the half, the teams traded the lead five times with nine ties. The Mountaineers pulled away from the final tie, 54-54, with a free throw from Ayana Dunning, followed by a Christal Caldwell jumper for a three-point lead and 3:12 left. The Bearcats cut the lead to two, twice, with a final Bjonee Reaves' layup with 22 seconds, but forced to buy time they fouled Hampton, who converted both free throws to seal the win.
WVU was co-led in scoring by Asya Bussie and Caldwell with 15 points each. Jess Harlee and Hampton each contributed eight points. Ayana Dunning also contributed eight points, all in the second half. The Mountaineers dominated the paint 40-28.
WVU improved its shooting from 34.6 percent (9-26) in the first half to 53.8 percent (14-26) in the second half, finishing the game shooting 44.2 percent (23-52) from the field. Cincinnati finished the game shooting 44 percent (22-50), and took the advantage from 3-point range as it converted 6-of-17 attempts (35.3%). The Mountaineers had two threes, shooting 28.6 percent from beyond the arc.
The Mountaineers took advantage of the free throw line, converting 12-of-15 (80%), while the Bearcats converted 81.8 percent (18-22).
Behind Dunning's game-leading 11 rebounds, WVU took a 32-27 advantage on the boards. The Mountaineers were also successful in forcing 14 turnovers to 13 of their own.
Cincinnati was led by Reaves with 22 points, nine coming from the free throw line. Chanel Chisholm and Dayeesha Hollins chipped in 12 and 11 points, respectively. Chisholm was also the Bearcats' rebounding leader with six boards.
Coach Mike Carey extended the bench to nine players and all players contributed in scoring with WVU's bench out-scoring UC's bench 17-2.
The West Virginia women's basketball team returns home for its final game of the regular season at 7 p.m., Monday, Feb. 27 against Pitt. The Mountaineers will celebrate senior night and honor Natalie Burton. The game will be broadcast live on CBS Sports Network with Deb Antonelli and Brent Stover.

Linguistik-Klassifikation: Syntax
Document Type
- Working Paper (2) (remove)
- Morphosyntax (2) (remove)
- Morphosyntactic predication : a functional-operational approach (1986)
- As a traditional notion of fundamental importance in linguistics and philosophy (logic), "predication" is fraught with controversial issues. It is thus difficult to delimit the scope of this paper without becoming involved in some major issue. The following distinctions seem to me to be plausible on an intuitive basis. Evidence for why they are useful and legitimate will be found in the body of the paper. The discussion will focus on morphosyntactic predication […].
- The systematization of tagalog morphosyntax (1994)
- In the last two decades Philippine languages, and of these especially Tagalog, have acquired a prominent place in linguistic theory. A central role in this discussion was played by two papers written by Schachter (1976 and 1977), who was inspired by Keenan's artcle on the subject from 1976. The most recent contributions on this topic have been from de Wolff (1988) and Shibatani (1988), both of which were published in a collection of essays, edited by Shibatani, with the title Passive and Voice. These works, and several works in-between, deal with the focus system specific to Philippine languages. The main discussion centers around the fact that Philippine languages contain a basic set of 5 to 7 affix focus forms. Their exact number varies not only in the secondary literature, but in the primary sources, i.e. Tagalog grammars, as well, where considerable differences in the number of affix focus forms can be found. All of these works, however, do agree on one point: the Philippine focus system basica1ly consists of agent, patient (=goal or object), benefactive, locative, and instrumental affix forms. Schachter/Otanes (1972) list a number of further forms, and in Drossard (1983 and 1984) we tried to show (in an attempt similar to those of Sapir 1917 and Klimov 1977) that the main criterion for a systematization of the Philippine focus system consists in the difference between the active and stative domains, an attempt which in our opinion was largely misunderstood (cf. the brief remarks in Shibatani (1988) and de Wolff (1988). The present paper is thus, on the one hand, an attempt to repeat and clarify our earlier position, and on the other, a further step towards such a systematization. A first step in this direction was an article on resultativity in Tagalog from 1991. In the present paper this approach will be extended to reciprocity. In the process we will show that it is valid to make a distinction between an active (=controlled action) vs. a stative (=limited controlled action) domain. First, however, we will take a brief look at what makes up the active and stative voice systems.

They made allies. They battled with enemies. They created budgets and balanced the World Bank. They suffered through natural disasters and plummeting stock markets. They sold and bought arms. They began as four countries divided, but were given the task, over seven weeks, to work together to achieve the goal of world peace. And with six minutes to go on the final game day, that's just what our UE3 students did.
The World Peace Game is an intricate, hands-on political simulation that gives players the opportunity to explore the connectedness of the global community through the lens of the economic, social, and environmental crises and the imminent threat of war. Developed by award-winning gifted teacher and educational consultant John Hunter, the game has no rulebook or manual, rather just two primary goals: To unravel and solve the 30+ global problems that could occur on any game day (including climate change, rogue satellites, nuclear warfare, massive oil spills, tsunamis, etc.), and by the end of the game, every nation's asset value must exceed its starting point. In other words, everyone has to win, which makes the game more complex.
Our students were divided into four countries: Berk, Denizwalia, Middle Earth and Richmond. Within those countries, students took on roles such as Prime Minister, Secretary of State, Minister of Defense and Secretary of Trade and Commerce. Other global roles included Chair of the World Bank, United Nations Secretary General, Dealer of Arms and the Entity, who determined daily weather conditions and the state of financial markets.
Upper Elementary teachers Ms. Kearns and Mr. Swanson, as well as Tech teacher Mrs. Dodd, oversaw the playing of the game, and were there to guide the students and provide insight. "We didn't tell them exactly how to solve their crises," says UE teacher Ms. Kearns, "We would warn them to consider their actions carefully; to understand the consequences of each action they might take. We gave them historical examples of similar situations and had the students make their own conclusions."
Soon enough, the students learned the consequences of spending too freely. "The biggest issue [within the game] was learning how to balance their budgets," says Ms. Kearns. The students had to learn that each movement they made – whether it was moving a boat or shifting an army – cost money. By Game Day 4, every country was in debt, and the leader of the World Bank, Miranda L., found herself in the difficult position of trying to pull everyone out of financial crisis. "At first I thought it would be easy to manage the money, but it ended up being much harder than I thought, " says Miranda. "I had to make sure everyone's daily budget was correct, which was difficult. As the game went on, I had to make sure to pay close attention to everyone's reports." Eventually, Miranda and her assistant at the World Bank, Skylar F., worked to get each country out of their financial crisis – an achievement that awarded them the Commendation medal at the end of the game, as voted on by their fellow classmates.
Witnessing just how quickly each of these countries found themselves in debt, Ms. Kearns realized it was the perfect opportunity to tweak their curriculum in the classroom. "Next year, we will be focusing on money and understanding revenue leading up to the Game," she says.
When watching the students play on a Game Day, it can seem a bit chaotic. Before the game begins each day, the students gather around the elaborate, four-tiered game board filled with game pieces like army men, oil tankers, even astronauts on the board's uppermost level. They are asked to give reports or make declarations on what they would like to achieve that day. Finally, the Entity spins a wheel that will declare the day's weather and the stock market report for the day. Each country will have to strategize their daily plans toward peace based on these reports. Once the game officially begins, students jump up and immediately begin their work, making negotiations with one another, buying arms or making payments to the bank. Deals are cut between countries in meetings that often take place outside of the game room. Yes, it may look chaotic, but within this busy room, students are creating the footwork to find their way to the eventual goal: world peace.
In his book about the game, World Peace and Other 4th-Grade Achievements, John Hunter outlines the "Seven Stages of Learning" that take place as students work their way through the World Peace Game. The stages are as follows:
Throughout the seven-week gameplay of the World Peace Game, the students ran the full gamut of these stages of learning. "On Day One I was so confused," says Prime Minister of Berk, Olivia E. "There were so many things in the game to consider. We were all overwhelmed." However, as each game day went on, the students got a better grasp on to how to solve crises, many times turning to lessons learned throughout the year to help guide their decisions. "The game brought up everything we've been learning throughout the year," says Chyna B. "I gained a lot from the experience, learning about real-life situations countries face in the real world."
Though the students made plenty of noticeable gains in their quest for world peace, Ms. Kearns believes they took away underlying lessons they may not realize for some time. "I don't think the students will know the full extent of what they've learned until they are faced with a similar situation later on in life." The lessons and takeaways from the World Peace Game will stay with the students throughout life, which is one of the original outcomes John Hunter was aiming for during the game's inception in 1977. "One of my personal lessons from the game is that kids are so incredibly capable," says Ms. Kearns. "We are lucky in this world that children like ours are coming up, learning this game and becoming aware of global issues. I am grateful for John Hunter's concept of this complex game and for making children aware of these issues."
Though it went down to the wire, in the last six minutes of the game, the students were able to settle all crises and work together to achieve world peace. To achieve this, it took a shift from focusing on what was best for their own countries to thinking more about the betterment of the entire world. "My favorite part of the game was signing my name to the game-winning treaty," Sydney B. says with a smile.
Because of the success of the game this year, the World Peace Game will continue to be played by UE3 students at MMS for the foreseeable future. However, no game will be the same. Each experience will help mold and grow our World Peace Game, which inherently gives the game makers and players the freedom to tailor it to their own needs. Next year, with the use of the school's 3D printer, students will have the ability to design their own game pieces to use in the game. UE2 students, after seeing their classmates become so invested in the World Peace Game, are already getting excited for their own turn at the game next year.
The World Peace game may be complex, and it may be difficult to fully understand its capacity until immersed within the game yourself, but it provides dozens of important lessons to the students involved, whether they realize it right away or not. In this way, the World Peace game works perfectly within the Montessori curriculum. Rather than being taught about global crises or reading about geopolitics, children are thrust into their own interweaving global climate and faced with real-world issues that they must decipher on their own. It truly is learning by doing, and if the lessons these children take away from the game stay with them throughout the years, perhaps they can play a role toward achieving real world peace for future generations.
At the end of the seven weeks, students each gave a five-minute video presentation about their reflection on the game. The students also voted to award certain players honors for their outstanding work during the World Peace Game. Below is the list of winners, as voted by their classmates:
Peace Prize: The highest honor, for the overall most outstanding efforts contributing towards world peace during The World Peace Game – Vincent D., Secretary of State, Berk
Commendation Medal: The most astute and clever management of financial matters contributing towards the achievement of world peace – Miranda L. and Skylar F. of the World Bank
Human Rights Award: Service above and beyond ordinary for upholding rights of those less able to help themselves – Neha P., Entity
Medal of Honor: Most creative and effective use of strategic thinking and tactical moves – Caterina V., Head of the United Nations

Dr. Ronald M. Tuttelman's Ratings
I moved to Florida several years ago and asked my then new Internist where to go when I got pregnant. He said you "must go to Dr Tuttelman. He's not fancy but he's the best." He was right! He can be "blunt" but as my Internist said " you want him on your side. " The office is clean but needs "decorating." I had a difficult pregnancy due to a chronic disease and I was watched very closely between him and the specialists he consulted with. Both he and his office worked hard to ensure I had the best outcome. I called him many times after hours and my calls were returned promptly. I had many "extra" visits due to my condition and I was always "fit in" right away. HIs staff greets you by name and you don't feel like you're just another patient. He was with me the entire time during my labor and delivery. My family liked him so much that both my mother and sister switched to him.

I was referred to this doctor and wish I would have read comments prior to seeing him. He sent us for numerous blood work (which were NOT covered by our insurance). He also sent us to a "specialist" for ultrasounds and NONE were covered by our insurance. When I told him we couldn't afford the $300.00 ultrasound visits every other week he basically told me I was going to be a horrible mother.Everything on here about his swearing (the F word is his favorite), his bedside manners, the office staff and the condition of the office is all true. Also if he gives you a copy of your health records don't lose them because he will not give you another copy. He is by far the worst doctor I have ever seen and should not be allowed to treat people the way he does! I filed a complaint against him because of how badly I was mistreated. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this man!!

Dr. Tuttelman has been my physician for over 17 years. I feel blessed to have such a competent and caring OBGYN. I had 2 very complicated pregnancies with him and I always felt as though I was in the best hands. He never rushed our visits and took all the necessary steps and precautions to make sure that my pregnancies were successful. His staff is very accomodating and return phone calls in a prompt and efficient manner. He is one of the few doctors that actually takes the time to sit down and explain what he is doing in a way that is easy for the "non-physician patient" to understand.

I just wanted to say that I am an experienced RN and have been to a few different OB/GYNs in the area. Dr Tuttelman and his staff are simply the best! I had a high risk pregnancy but I felt safe and well cared for with Dr. Tuttelman by my side! No, his office isn't beautiful but the people who work there are!! Dr. Tuttelman called me in the evenings and on weekends just to check on me! Unheard of from any other doctors I know! If you need a good physician I highly recommend Dr. Tuttelman! You will be happy you did!!!

I went to Dr. Tuttleman for a 2nd opinion, and I am so glad I did! He is a very straight forward & knowledgeable doctor who cares deeply about his patient's well being. He takes his time with you, never rushes you & explains everything very thoroughly. Not only that, but he is a fabulous Robotic surgeon! I needed to have surgery & he was very reassuring & made me feel very comfortable. I recovered beautifully after my surgery with little, if any pain, or discomfort. The aftercare was amazing as well! If you call the office with any questions, Dr. Tuttleman immediately comes to the phone to answer them. During one of my office visits, Dr. Tuttleman actually came out to the waiting room to tell me he was running a few minutes late, what Doctor ever does that! Yes, his office is not fancy & in need of some renovation, but it is clean and more than adequate and his office staff is warm and very accommodating. Dr. Tuttleman is the best GYN I have ever been to, & I recommend him highly!

I have been Dr Tuttelman's patient for several years. I went to him after asking some nurses at the hospital for a new OB recommendation and I was given his name. He is very direct but empathetic especially if you have a problem. I had a problem, he explained it thoroughly and took care of it on a weekend. He won't let you leave the hospital until you speak to him "one more time." Yes, he does repeat himself because he wants you to really understand everything. I think he has great "people skills" and he's actually very funny. His office is not glamorous but it is clean and the staff is wonderful. It is nice to be greeted by name and you feel like a friend when you are there not a bother. He's had the same staff since I started going to him which is unusual in this business. If you are looking for a new doctor or it's time for a change, give him a shot.

Dr Tuttleman is an expert in his field. He is very knowledgeable and if you have a serious condition he is the man to help you. He however does not have any people skills and can make people feel uncomfortable and scared to ask questions. His staff is a bit clueless and his office is in a need of a complete remodel

I have been going to Tuttelman for 12 years. Prior to seeing him, I was bounced around to A LOT of doctors. Tests were run, opinions given, even a study was done on me. When I went to Doc, I was assuming I would get the same run around. I didn't. He took time with me & assured me he would take good care of me & make me well. He has been doing that for all of these years. I read a lot of the comments posted on here & agree with some of them. Yes, he's abrupt & can use some language...but who doesn't? He's down to earth & honest with you, about your particular situation. You do wait a while for him in the waiting & exam rooms. But he also gives you a lot of his time when it's your turn. His wife is a tough cookie & I've had issues with her in the past, but she too is honest & helpful. He's performed 2 surgeries on me, & both times he had my complete trust & faith. He's an excellent MD & for that, I respect him & recommend him. He has always treated me w/ respect & TLC.

I have been going to Dr. Tuttelman for years and he better stay in practice forever. After seeing numerous doctors who were not able to help me, I walked into his office and he diagnosed me and fixed my issue on the first try. Since then, he saved my life, literally. If it weren't for him, my health would have been in serious danger. He is so experienced in so many areas that I trust him wholeheartedly. He encouraged me to get a 2nd opinion, which I did. I did not follow the 2nd opinion, but trusted his expertise and I am so glad that I did because after surgery, the results proved him right and my 2nd opinion wrong! I will be forever greatful to him. His staff, who have been the same for years, have always been so accomodating to me every single time. When calling for an appointment, I have had to turn them down when the offer the very next day! I would highly recommend him to anyone for routine visits or especially if you are having any sort of issues; he knows his stuff!

I have been a patient of Dr. T's for 15 years. I am so fortunate to have found him and his staff. He takes the time to listen to me and to also explain everything so that I understand. He keeps up with current treatments and with his years of experience can always recommend the BEST way to proceed. I cannot recommend him and his wonderful staff any higher. He now takes care of my oldest daughter as well and she feels the same.

LA CRESCENT, Minnesota (WXOW)-- World Services of La Crosse is hosting Russian professionals this week.
Thursday morning, six delegates toured our News 19 studio to learn more about the role of news media in the United States and the relationship between journalists, the government and the public.
The group learned about a day in the life of a reporter or anchor.
Some said they were surprised by how each story has to have multiple different versions and couldn't believe how early the Daybreak team has to get up.
"I am amazed by the job done by photographers and news reporters. I think it is incredible if you can get up so early and work and present the stories that are important for your community," said Artem Sergeyevich Gilev, a Russian Delegate.
The group is traveling with a translator named Yulia Willoughby.
Willoughby said one of the delegates has an online media talk show in Russia.

A very interesting whisky, the first to be legally distilled in Texas, made from blue corn (not sure what that is, but it sounds impressive) and, remarkably, being the recipient of a Double Gold medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Definitely one to watch.

Student Testimonials
"The chance to work with different media and take such a wide variety of classes has been extremely beneficial to my future career. After leaving Mount Union, I'll be able to say that I wrote for the newspaper, acted as a live DJ on the radio station, created materials for the television station and helped people in the Alliance community as part of the classes here."
