The Vagina Monologues, a play which made its premiere, known as V-Day, on 14 February 1998 in New York City has become a Valentine's Day staple in many U.S. cities. It also generated controversy last year, when University of Notre Dame president, Fr. John Jenkins, after giving initial indications that performances of the play on-campus were to be discontinued, relented after seeing the play, thus allowing performances to go-on. This prompted a written protest by the bishop of the Diocese of Ft. Wayne-South bend, the Most Reverend John M. D'Arcy.
The play, by U.S. playwright, Eve Ensler (pictured above performing the play), is a collection of vignettes contributed by various women and organized by Ensler into the play. With all this I want to direct interested readers to an article by a self-described "happily professed member of a traditional community of women religious whose members still wear habits, live in community and carry out the same mission", on the Paulist-run website Busted Halo, entitled, Remembering V-Day: A young nun defends The Vagina Monologues.
Blogito ergo sum! Actually, as N.T. Wright averred, "'Amor, ergo sum:' I am loved, therefore I am." Among other things, I am a Roman Catholic deacon. This is a public cyberspace in which I seek to foster Christian discipleship in the late modern milieu in the diakonia of koinonia and in the recognition that "the Eucharist is the only place of resistance to annihilation of the human subject."

We definitely have the dialogue at our house. It only gets complicated when Frank and I are both menstruating at the same time.

(Reuters) - Southwest Airlines
The growth opportunities are "very exciting for all of our employees who want to do more," Kelly said in an interview.
Kelly said Southwest was paying "close attention" to cities such as Memphis, Tennessee - a former Northwest Airlines hub and a market where Delta Air Lines
Kelly, who began his career at Southwest as a controller more than 20 years ago and was named CEO in 2004, noted that when American Airlines reduced operations in Nashville in the 1990s, Southwest raised its daily departures in that market to about 80 from 18.
He also said that Southwest became the largest carrier in St. Louis, Missouri, since American scaled back there following its acquisition of Trans World Airlines.
"Memphis is a smaller community, it probably has smaller potential than the two examples I provided there, but we're going to pay very close attention to it," Kelly said in an interview in Atlanta.
"We're excited about being able to grow there and we'll do as much as we can. Cleveland, I think, is the same way."
Southwest has new opportunities to add flights after recently acquiring takeoff and landing rights at New York's LaGuardia and Reagan National Airport near Washington, D.C., that American Airlines Group
The budget carrier also plans to start international service under its own brand this year - initially to Aruba, the Bahamas and Jamaica - as it completes the integration of AirTran and retires that brand.
New nonstop flights from Southwest's base at Dallas Love Field are due to start in October when U.S. flight restrictions there expire.
With the new access gained in New York, Southwest has outlined plans to expand service between LaGuardia and Nashville, Houston Hobby, Chicago (Midway), and Akron-Canton, Ohio.
Kelly declined to comment specifically on where Southwest planned to add flights from Reagan National, but said that large- or medium-sized cities the carrier already serves could be targets.
As it faced rising labor costs, the Dallas-based Southwest added seats to planes, raised baggage fees at its AirTran unit and curbed flying to unprofitable markets to improve results. Southwest is also retiring older Boeing 737 jets in its fleet to help reduce maintenance costs.
Southwest is the only major U.S. airline that has not been restructured in bankruptcy. Even so, Kelly said Southwest was still a lower-cost carrier compared with major rivals though he conceded that rising fuel prices have eaten into that cost advantage.
"We've had to raise our fares simply because fuel prices are so much higher today in the billions of dollars a year compared to where they used to be," Kelly said. "But we still have significant cost advantages - even including that - relative to the legacy carriers."
He said the effect of Southwest's presence in a market is often realized in airfare increases that don't materialize.
"The evidence in a market is harder to see at times because our competitors have always matched our fares," Kelly said.
Southwest shares were down 1.35 percent to $21.14 in late afternoon trading on the New York Stock Exchange.

The marvel of animation in full bloom at DIFF 2009
Fri Dec 11,2009
Animation and motion capture, the new frontiers in cinema, are in full bloom at the Dubai International Film Festival 2009 showcase. Sharing top-billing was 'Alvin And The Chipmunks: The Squeakuel' which made a gala opening on Friday.
The family and fun excitement is to be followed by the much-heralded 'Fantastic Mr Fox' tomorrow (4pm, First Group Theatre, December 12) and Disney classic 'The Princess And The Frog' (5pm, First Group Theatre, December 14), which is released in the US the same week.
DIFF Director of International Programming Sheila Whitaker said the selection of animation movies at DIFF highlight the evolution of this fast-changing movie technology, which opens doors to new possibilities in narration.
"Digital film making and animation have broken all barriers; film-makers, today, practically have no limitations. But what is truly awe-inspiring is how they use classic tales to create compelling movies using digital techniques," she added.
In 'Fantastic Mr Fox', the animation based on the Roald Dahl book of the same name, the mean old farmers – fat Boggis, squat Bunce and skinny Bean – have joined forces and have Mr. Fox and his family surrounded, but the cunning carnivore has a fantastic masterplan to save the day. Produced by Regency Enterprises and Indian Paintbrush, the visually stunning movie features a stellar cast of voiceovers, with George Clooney, Meryl Streep, Jason Schwartzmann and Bill Murray.
'The Princess And The Frog' – directed by Ron Clements and John Musker with Anike Noni Rose, Bruno Campos and Keith David – will also have youngsters in wide-eyed surprise, with the Disney fairytale centering on a young girl, Princess Tiana, who lives in New Orleans' French Quarter during the Jazz Age.
Following the movie, Bruce Smith will host a Master Class for select UAE university media and art students, explaining how he animated Dr. Facilier, the character he supervised in the Disney film.
Now in its sixth year, DIFF 2009 is held in association with Dubai Studio City and will be held from December 9 to 16. Dubai Duty Free, Dubai Pearl, Emirates Airline and Madinat Jumeirah are the principal sponsors of DIFF and the event is supported by Dubai Culture & Arts Authority (Dubai Culture).

This is in reference to your letter No. FWSC/D/SCR. 3vc/4/83 dated 22nd November 2011 to the Hon. Minister of Finance and Economic Planning to effect changes with regards to TECHNICAL OFFICER GRADE among others. We the members of the Ghana Association of Public Health Technical Officers wish to draw your attention to the clear distinction between Technical Officer Bio-Statistics and Technical Officer Health Information.
Training for Technical Officer Health Information
The training for Health Information Officers at the College of Health (Rural Health Training School-Kintampo) entails all the courses under the community health programmes for disease control and nutrition. This includes basic sciences, public health (disease surveillance, immunization, disease control, cold chain, health system research, primary health care, health planning), community nutrition etc. The only difference between the Health Information Officers and Disease Control/Nutrition has to do with Demography and Computer application which is done at the final year by Technical Officers Health Information.
Technical Officer Health Information is a programme specifically designed for public health practice at the district level just like Technical Officer Disease Control and Nutrition within the Ghana Health Service/Ministry of Health.
Training for Technical Officer Bio-statistics
In terms of public health practice and the rational for introducing Technical Officer Health Information programme by the Ministry of Health/Ghana Health Service at Kintampo, the polytechnic trained Statistics students employed as Technical Officers Bio-Statistics cannot be equated to the Technical Officer Health Information which is among the multi-purpose Technical Officers Group (Disease Control and Nutrition) working at the various levels of health care in the country.
Arguably the statistics products from Polytechnics are trained not specifically for health data and therefore do not belong to the health professional group.
Work of Technical Officer Health Information
Unlike the Bio-Statisticians who are trained at the various Polytechnics as statisticians with no training in public health, Technical Officer Health Information is specifically trained to work just like a Technical Officer Community Health (Disease Control and Nutrition).
Due to the professional competence in terms of public health care, Health Information Officers does the same work as Disease Control, Disease Surveillance and Nutrition Technical Officers. Therefore, they qualify to be classified as Clinical Grade. In addition, majority of them due to their training are working as programme coordinators for (HIV, TB, Malaria, CHPS, Neglected Tropical Diseases etc) at the district level.
Furthermore, the Technical Officer Bio-statistics work solely on data unlike Technical Officer Health Information Officers who are among the multi-purpose Technical Officers working at the various levels. Therefore, it is ethically wrong to put the two together to merit the same market premium of the intended 30%.
Carrier Progression
The Technical Officer Health Information just like the analogous group Disease Control and Nutrition is among the BSc. Public Health programme recently introduced by the Ministry of Health, Ghana Health Service in conjunction with the School of Public Health – University of Ghana (Legon) for health information officers, disease control and nutrition.
However, majority of records assistance were just promoted and converted to become Technical Officer Bio-statistics without the formal three year training at Kintampo for Technical Health Information Officers.
Impact of the intended action
The intended action if allowed to go on will have negative consequences for public health activities at the district level. It will negatively affect the work output of the district health management teams since some Health Information Technical Officers are working as Technical Officers nutrition and disease control in some of the districts.
The Technical Officer Health Information is first and foremost health professional with public health background to work on health data for Ghana Health Service/Ministry of Health to improve data management which was handled by bio-statisticians and records assistance who had no background in public health care. Therefore, it is out of place to put the two distinct professions together thereby reducing the market premium for Technical Officers Health Information 58% to 30%.
We therefore recommend that, the Technical Officer Bio-statistics should be separated from Technical Officers Health Information trained at Kintampo College of Health (Rural Health Training School).
The intended action to reduce the market premium from 58% to 30% for Technical Officers Health Information should be stopped immediately based on the above reasons stated in terms of training, work and career progression.
We count on your co-operation to work on this issue urgently to prevent confusion at the district level.

A real-life parking wars problem in Scottsdale turned deadly Wednesday night.
Police were checking out a complaint about a neighbor who kept parking his truck on the sidewalk. That's when an officer had to use his weapon.
Neighbors tell CBS 5 News they didn't think anyone would end up dead over a little dispute. Now they say they're on edge.
"They were fighting over a parking place," recounted a neighbor who didn't want to disclose her identity.
She said two people on her block weren't very happy with each other.
"The son was extremely loud and upset, you can tell he was very upset," she said.
She's referring to Presson Phillips Jr. and his son who live across the street from the person who called the cops on them. Scottsdale police say Officer Nathan Mullins, a seven-year veteran of Scottsdale police, showed up to find out what was going on.
"As he was there, a white SUV pulled up, we believe that was the male he was trying to contact. As the officer came to the driver's side of the door, the driver brandished a handgun in a threatening manner at the officer. The officer backed up and fired into the truck," said Sgt. Mark Clark.
Police say the officer shot and killed 72-year-old Phillips.
Some people say he was a very nice man who looked out for the people on his block.
"Constantly telling me to put shoes on, telling me to watch out for scorpions. Talking to me about flowers because he'd see me out here pulling my weeds and stuff," said a neighbor.
Mullins has been placed on administrative leave as the investigation gets under way.

Check Your Symptoms
Home Treatment
Home treatment measures can help relieve pain, swelling, and bruising and promote healing after a groin injury. These home treatment measures also may be helpful for noninjury problems.

"The design and quality of these stylish calling cards is excellent. Different than anything else that you see and versatile to use as calling cards or to include on a gift box. Interesting to look at and modern layout. And the Tinyprint design people were very helpful when I made editing requests. Will certainly reorder!"
"Exceeded my expectations once again! I customized these cards to use as gift certificates for my business. I was able to customize the front and back and they turned out perfect!"
"I love my new cards! They look fab-U-lous! I had previously ordered cards from Zazzle, which are ok, but the quality of these is really great. The weight of the paper and the finish, just the standard order, excellent. I used to work in paper so I'm familiar with high-end brands, while obviously this is just a flat print, the design, weight and finish give the feel of a high-end product. Very happy!"
"I have received many positive comments about the card. Color, font and quality are just lovely. The swirl of leaves on card are just enough and don't take away from information being presented."
"I love my business cards and am about to reorder another 300 with matching thank you cards as well. Every time I hand one out people comment on the perfect size, square format and lovely bright colours (I have the all pink colour way). Also, the card is thick and feels great. My only concern is that on the back side where the information is about 10-15% of the cards are cut too high (as in text is only 1mm or less from the bottom edge) but considering the ease and good price I was still happy with it all. Thanks Tiny Prints!"

When the prospect of a TV series was brought up, Hamill went into outright denial. "See, the thing is, on one hand, the way I look at it is there was a beginning, a middle and an end and it's over. Even though it's never over. But for me it's over. But what'll happen is these fans will come over, 'But you just became a Jedi. Now what happens? It's like doing the story of how 007 got his license to kill and then not telling any stories.' So I said, 'I wish my agent had this much passion.' They really want me to do these stories. I loved it all, I really did, but I never in my mind ever thought it would be something I'd be talking about this long."

› Rick Perry Says Social Security And Medicare Are Unconstitutional
[In] an interview with the Daily Beast's Andrew Romano, [Texas Governor, Rick] Perry makes his most outlandish claim to date — Social Security and Medicare are unconstitutional:
The Constitution says that "the Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes… to provide for the… general Welfare of the United States." But I noticed that when you quoted this section on page 116, you left "general welfare" out and put an ellipsis in its place. Progressives would say that "general welfare" includes things like Social Security or Medicare—that it gives the government the flexibility to tackle more than just the basic responsibilities laid out explicitly in our founding document. What does "general welfare" mean to you?
[PERRY:] I don't think our founding fathers when they were putting the term "general welfare" in there were thinking about a federally operated program of pensions nor a federally operated program of health care. What they clearly said was that those were issues that the states need to address. Not the federal government. I stand very clear on that. From my perspective, the states could substantially better operate those programs if that's what those states decided to do.
So in your view those things fall outside of general welfare. But what falls inside of it? What did the Founders mean by "general welfare"?
[PERRY:] I don't know if I'm going to sit here and parse down to what the Founding Fathers thought general welfare meant.
But you just said what you thought they didn't mean by general welfare. So isn't it fair to ask what they did mean? It's in the Constitution.
Perry's reading of the Constitution raises very serious questions about whether he understands the English language. The Constitution gives Congress the power to "to lay and collect taxes" and to "provide for the…general welfare of the United States." No plausible interpretation of the words "general welfare" does not include programs that ensure that all Americans can live their entire lives secure in the understanding that retirement will not force them into poverty and untreated sickness.
Given his rampant misinterpretation of the bible and absolute disregard for science to achieve right-wing evangelical legislation in the culture-warped republican wasteland of Texas, I'll just say I'm not too surprised that Mr. Perry (Parry) would make up his own interpretation of the constitution as well, which, of course, must be the correct one.

U.S. Air Force Tries Again for Combat Rescue Helicopter
The U.S. Air Force has released a draft request for proposals (RFP) for the combat rescue helicopter (CRH) program, a successor to the ill-fated CSAR-X competition to replace the service's Sikorsky HH-60G Pave Hawk search-and-rescue helicopters.
The CRH will be a scaled-back version of the $15 billion CSAR-X program. The Pentagon settled on Boeing's HH-47 Chinook in 2006 for the program but ultimately cancelled the order in 2009 after successive protests, amended proposals and delays. The platform sought for the CRH, earlier known as the HH-60 Recapitalization Program, "will be an existing production helicopter with modifications using existing mature technology with only limited integration of existing subsystems as required," the Air Force said in a request for information (RFI) last November for an associated training system. A previous RFI was issued last August seeking comment on draft system requirements for the aircraft.
In a posture statement submitted to Congress last month, the Air Force said its Fiscal Year 2013 budget request includes $184 million for the helicopter operational loss replacement (OLR) and CRH programs. Research, development, test and evaluation funding for the CRH was reprogrammed to support the acquisition of two test aircraft. The service said the program "remains on track" to replace the HH-60G through an open competition, with initial operational capability planned for Fiscal Year 2018. As of last October, it reported an inventory of 67 of the twin-engine Black Hawk derivatives operated by the active Air Force, 17 by the Air National Guard and 15 by the Reserve.

The Memphis-based National Cotton Ginners' Association
(NCGA) recently elected its 2011 officers at its annual
meeting in San Antonio. In addition, Van Murphy, a
Quitman,Ga., ginner was named the 2010 Horace Hayden National Cotton Ginner of the Year. That award is presented
annually to a ginner in recognition of: 1) able, efficient
and faithful service to the ginning industry and 2) continuing of
those principles exemplified and practiced by Horace Hayden, a
former NCGA executive secretary.
Murphy, who attended the Abraham Baldwin Ag College in
Tifton, Ga., and worked at Boston Farms Center, currently is

Do you picture yourself shredding down a huge snowy mountain? Now you can with the Women''s Rossignol Tesla Amptek Snowboard! This board is made out of a premium 5620 wood and has a very soft/medium flex perfect for going off jumps and landing cool tricks. You can ride the Rossignal Tesla Amptek either on an all mountain slope or a freestyle slope. It''s up to you! It''s your board and you can ride it how you want; that is if you buy it.
Tesla Amptek
This is by far the best snowboard I have ever owned. If I could sleep with it at night I would! I have owned a Ride (Solace 141), Option (149), K2 (Luna 151), Never Summer (Pandora 143) and the ROSSI TESLA leaves them in its wake. It is so easy to ride, pops off the slightest bump and makes you stick landings. Switch is as easy as riding regular on this beast. Dominates edges on groomers and holds its own in pow (although maybe a little to flexible for the deeper stuff), easy to hike backcountry too as it is light. This board practically finds natural features for you! Buy this board and thank me later, you'll love it if you are an intermediate to advanced rider.

A bright lip can be intimidating. Take notes from Beth Behrs, who contrasted her megawatt coral smile with a fresh face at the Showtime TCA party. When going for a bold lip, the key is to properly prep your pout. For a smooth application, exfoliate gently to remove any dead skin cells and apply a hydrating balm before your lipstick. Finding the perfect coral hue can be a bit tricky. If you have a cooler skin tone, try a pink-based shade. For darker skin, look for a color with tangerine undertones. A statement smile should be worn with subtle makeup. Mark makeup artist Jamie Greenberg, kept Behrs' face shine-free by mattifying her t-zone and lightly dusting bronzer all over for a healthy-glow.

This city on the Río Guadalquivir is known as the setting for numerous operas – Carmen, the Barber of Seville, Don Juan. As you walk through Seville it is not surprising that it has inspired artists. The vestiges of Moorish hegemony can be clearly seen. Many of the buildings have been listed as world cultural heritage sites. You can wander through the labyrinthine alleys of the lovely old town and admire the beautiful buildings and patios. Many impressive squares, palaces and churches are also waiting to be discovered. Seville's cathedral is the third-biggest in the world.
When one thinks of the sun-kissed city in the heart of Andalusia, one automatically thinks of flamenco and bull fighting. The typical Spanish snack, "tapas", originates here, too. For the residents of Seville, life takes place on the street. This is where Sevillanos meet up to have a good time in the company of others.
The barrio of Santa Cruz is home to traditional, typical bars serving delicious tapas and wines. Visitors can choose from a plethora of taverns, bars and dance halls, and maybe try a flamenco as a way of enjoying the vibrancy of Seville life.

Like most small contractors, I often use my truck as an office.
Since dirty and disorganized isn't the image I want to project
to potential clients, I try to keep the interior tidy. It's a
constant battle, but I've made a couple of recent changes that
seem to be helping.
First, I bought a $70 Contractor Bench Seat Console (Automotive
Accessories Connection, 888/425-2885,
autoaccessconnect.stores.yahoo.net) and installed it between
the two seats (1). A wood shim underneath keeps it level so my
coffee doesn't spill. The console's cover opens toward the
dash, exposing a clipboard mounted on the underside; this is
where I keep the homemade form on which I record my daily
activities for billing and job-costing purposes. To the top of
the cover, I've taped a 5x7 pad for jotting notes during phone
Second, I made a plywood organizer — two shelves, about
18 inches wide and 12 inches deep — and placed it above
the console (2); it attaches to the back of the cab with
Velcro. In the bottom shelf I keep a street map and my
clipboard with job schedules; in the top one I store
miscellaneous paperwork to be filed, plus a package or two of
I also mounted a 400-watt inverter (Vector, 800/544-6986,
www.vectormfg.com) under the dash for
charging my cellphone, computer, and cameras (3). Above it I
keep a Norelco razor so I can give myself a quick shave before
client appointments.
Now, if I could just figure out how to swap my bench seat for a
Barcalounger, I'd be set.
Sonny Lykos owns Construction Solutions
Systems in Naples, Fla.
After watching too many sets of plans get ruined by daily
job-site use, I resolved to find an affordable way to keep my
prints clean and in good shape throughout an entire
For my first attempt, I put each print between two
1/8-inch-thick pieces of Plexiglas screwed together with binder
posts purchased at a hardware store. This worked fine for
prints that hang on the wall or stay at the job at all times
— but lugging around two or three 18-by-24-inch Plexiglas
sandwiches proved to be annoying.
Next, I decided to try getting the plans laminated. It worked!
I no longer have to dive across the floor to save the prints
when it gets windy or starts to rain. I pay my local
office-supply store $4 a page to laminate 18x24 prints —
a price that compares favorably with the $4 per page the local
OfficeMax charges for duplicating.
I keep the laminated plans rolled up face out when they're in
storage, so they lie flat when they're unrolled. Spilled coffee
wipes right off. And they make nice placements at
The downside is that I can't make changes to the drawings. For
that, I keep another set rolled up in a protective cover, along
with any other rough sketches I may have made.

McCrary, the Oregon Viking, helped Matt land his first steelhead. Of course, his guide suggested being clad head-to-toe in Simms gear. Good work, Matt.

|And the mountains echoed [sound recording]
by Hosseini, Khaled.
Hossein is a wonderful storyteller, and the different characters used to tell the odessey of a brother and sister demonstrates his mastery of point of view. He provides rich detail of the many locales around the world in which the story moves. posted Sep 26, 2013 at 11:16AM
|Await your reply : a novel
by Chaon, Dan.
This book explores identity from many different aspects. It started slow in giving the background of each character, but grips you along the way to solve the question of who is who. posted Jul 6, 2010 at 8:22AM
|Eat, pray, love [compact disc] : [one woman's search for everything across Italy
This is a great audio book as the author narrates in a style only your best friend could mimic. It is a frank discussion of her crisis and travel peppered with wit and lovely metaphors. I have to return it before completing, but am going to quick get on the list, as her short paragraph form makes it an enjoyable listen. posted May 29, 2007 at 2:13PM
|Imperial Life in the Emerald City: Inside Iraq's Green Zone
by Chandrasekaran, Rajiv
This is a well written account of the early days after the invasion of Iraq. It really depresses me that we have learned so little from our time there as the author details the hubris that we approached the culture, the infighting between State Dept and Defense Dept and generally not thinking through the consequences of the invasion. posted Jan 22, 2007 at 8:33AM
|The thin place
by Davis, Kathryn
I am giving up on this book as the narrative style is herky-jerky. After 60 pages I cannot dicern the plot and it is not worth the effort as I do not care yet about any of the characters. I don't remember what recommended list this book was on, but it doesn't pass my criteria for good story telling. posted Jan 22, 2007 at 8:29AM

If you are going to excessively link to past articles (some posts have been really bad, with links in nearly every sentence!) the least you could do is put some text at the bottom that says Link: Link Name so that people can easily find the article/site you are talking about.

The mandates affect all two-way radio system operators, including police, fire, hospitals, utilities, schools, and commercial manufacturing and business.

Netflix, others to join S&P 500
The index will also add F5 Networks and Newfield Exploration. New York Times Co., Eastman Kodak and Office Depot will move to the S&P Midcap-400.
Once upon a time, you couldn't get more blue-chip than Eastman Kodak (EK) and the New York Times Co. (NYT)
Kodak was in the Dow Jones Industrial Average ($INDU) and the Standard & Poor's 500 Index ($INX). The Times company, parent of The New York Times, was a member of the S&P 500.
Kodak was pushed out of the Dow in in 2004 after 74 years as a Dow component. After Dec. 17, the company, the Times Co. and office-supplies retailer Office Depot (ODP) will move from the S&P 500 to the Standard & Poor's Midcap-400 Index ($MID.X).
Their sin: They're not growing. They'll be replaced by Netflix (NFLX), F5 Networks (FFIV) and Newfield Exploration (NFX), all members of the S&P midcap index now.
At the same time, Standard & Poor's Corp. said late today that Cablevision (CVC) will replace King Pharmaceuticals (KG) in the S&P 500. King will be acquired by Merck (MRK).
Eastman Kodak has been a member of the S&P 500 since the emergence of its modern form in 1957. The New York Times Co. joined the index in 1984. Office Depot went in in 1999.
Since the end of 1999, Eastman's shares are down 91.9%. The company's classic photographic film and supplies were superseded by the emergence of digital photography.
The Times Co.'s shares are down 80% since the end of 1999 as the newspaper business was hit by the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks, the 2008-09 recession and the emergence of the Internet as a major source of news and information.
Office Depot's strategy of supplying everything from paper clips to computers and office furniture has struggled from management problems and intense competition, especially from Staples (SPLS).
On the other hand, Netflix shares are up more than 2,200% since the company went public in May 2002 and are up nearly 247% in 2010 alone.
F5 chose a difficult year to go public, 1999, but the shares are up more than 7,000% since as the Internet has become critical to commerce around the globe.
And Newfield Exploration is a play in the huge increase in prices for oil and natural gas. The shares are up 261% since the end of 1999.
Three more sets of changes are due.
Corinthian Colleges (COCO), a for-profit education company, regional bank Wilmington Trust (WL) and retailer Coldwater Creek (CWTR) will move from the S&P Midcap index to the Standard & Poor's SmallCap 600 Index ($SML.X).
They will be replaced by natural-gas producer SM Energy (SM), Concur Technologies (CNQR), which makes management software, and East West Bancorp (EWBC), a banking company in Pasadena, Calif.
For those stocks moving up, there will be new buying as money managers who track indexes adjust. Those moving down will see their shares pressured for the same reason.
Examples: Eastman Kodak and the New York Times Co. shares were off 0.6% to $5.28 and 2.2% to $9.74 after hours today. Netflix and F5 were up 5.5% to $201.50 and 5.2% to $146.10.

Speaking on SWX Tonight on Wednesday, Briann January called the Indiana Fever's win over Connecticut in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals "crazy".
January, who graduated from Spokane's Lewis & Clark High in 2005, missed a layup in the closing seconds that possibly would have won the game. But her team came through, fought for the rebound, and nailed a jumper to put the Dream away for good. January ended the night with 16 points.
This season has been a breakout season for the former LC Tiger. She had surgery on her knee last year and was on the bench when her team was in the playoffs last season. That experience proved to be valuable, giving January a new perspective of the game.
"I was watching film with the coaches, and as a point guard that's huge because you're supposed to be the extension of the coaches out on the court," explained January. "That really allowed me to have that connection with our coaches to see what they want, see what they need and expect of all of our players."
Game 3 is Thursday night at 5:30 p.m. (PT) on ESPN2.

1. Introduction
Figure oxford-radcliff-camera.jpg [Oxford Radcliffe Camera building]
Oxford University Computing Services are now leading a major project to implement a new University-wide 'groupware' solution. This will establish a series of new services for the University, supporting collaborative working such as enhanced email, public and private calendaring, and contact list management, all accessible over the web and on mobile devices.
The project was initiated by the Office of the Director of IT (ODIT) and considerable background information regarding committees, panels and the selection procedure for the the prefered supplier can be found on the ODIT web site.
On the 4th July 2008 the Groupware Project Board endorsed a recommendation made by the Groupware Short-Listing Panel that Microsoft Exchange/Sharepoint be the preferred software system to meet the University's Groupware requirements. This decision was made after more than 6 months of work by a team of representatives from across the collegiate University which gathered requirements and evaluated a number of possible solutions.
1.1. What is Groupware?
Groupware is a suite of programs that help people work collaboratively together and share documents and other forms of information. This includes sharing calendars, email applications, shared documents, document storage etc.
The Exchange/SharePoint Groupware solution chosen will have the following functional components and interfaces:
1.2. Expected Development Timeline
The project specification has been agreed by the Project Board, and the project has now been fully transferred to OUCS for the implementation stage. As of January 2009 the project team has been successful in some recruitment of staff, the hardware has been selected and ordered. Some of this has started to be delivered, and we expect all hardware to be onsite by the end of February. Once all the hardware has arrived and software installed, the team expects to have the first working trial for Exchange sometime in early Spring. There will then be a number of phases of piloting which will incorporate individuals initially, then small units and gradually increasing prior to a full launch over the summer. The SharePoint implementation will follow in parallel but slightly later.
The team will be regularly posting regular project progress in our news page. You can also subscribe to the RSS feed via your RSS reader or web browser. (See How to subscribe for more information)
2. Project Background
Initiated by the Office of the Director of IT (ODIT), Groupware was prominent in the ICT Strategic Plan, and has been in the OUCS five year plan since early 2007.
The project takes the term "groupware" in its more modern sense as meaning applications for "computer-supported cooperative work" or "collaborative working".
The deployment of integrated applications to support group-based working has the potential to relieve the administrative burden on staff; to help facilitate intra- and inter-institutional research; and to assist communication and group working between students and between students and their tutors.

I bought this as a gift so until the weather warms up I won't know how comfortable it is. It is a lovely color and feels sort of silky -- the recipients seemed happy with it. I am confused about the prices for these woven Mexican hammocks -- the price seems to change daily, from very low to relatively high -- for the same item.
The hammock took a couple of weeks to get here which was fine as it came before my birthday. It came with all the accessories I needed as I already had the hardware bolted into the trees. Once I hung the hammock and got in was when it went downhill. It is indeed quite large but appears to be poorly constructed. The middle of the hammock was strung tighter than the sides meaning when I got into it I didn't sink down into it but had to balance on a tight middle while the sides drooped down. We tried to stretch it out but eventually decided it was just poorly constructed. I have used many similar hammocks and have never had a problem like this. It will definitely be going back.
Looks great after I hanged it between two trees used it once as it was not ideal place to hang because of stones underneath, I just wanted to check out how it looks with my pool. It's great colors vivid. I took it down along with the tree got rid of the stones and now waiting for new tree and grass to grow to use. In the end great purchase but buy it when you are 100% sure you will use it and you have found a perfect spot for it. Don't buy if your creating a spot for it unless your creation is ready.
This hammock is well made and pretty. It's plenty big- I think it is "matrimonial" size! Good buy- get yourself one and hang out for a while!
This hammock is so kewl!!! cant wait till my friend gets to swing in it., he will love it!
Absolutely the most comfortable hammock ever, and colorful, beautiful blues, it's awesome. I am so happy I decided to get it.....I hope it never wares out, tough nylon ouu la la. If you love to relax in a hammock get this one.

I saw this in the theater when I was kid and although it is nowhere near what you'd call good, it has many things to like. A much, much better film than that dreadful "Owl and the Pussycat" but nonetheless defies reality and enters the "as if" stage. In a way it was ahead of it's time with the story of a wife going to extremes, at times slightly edgy, to make ends meet. Think in a way sort of like the TV show "Weeds". If you are a fan of Striesand or like a mindless piece of fluff, give it a try.

Should public schools in the United States eliminate the traditional A to F grading scale? And if so, what assessment do we replace it with?
In 5 months, at the age of 21, I will be graduating college from the University of Florida. Yet, it wasn't until recently that I began to realize how distorted my view of education has been for past 15 years of my life. From childhood, we are commonly "taught" (and indoctrinated) that when we receive "good grades", we are "good people" and "good students." Consequently, beginning around kindergarten, a child's self worth is defined on an "A" to "F" scale. From the perspective of a child, an "A" student is "good" and an "F" student is "bad".
This belief entirely distorts the real purpose of education. We are commonly driven to learn not for the sake of learning; but instead, we are motivated by the almighty grade. Growing up, rather than reading books for fun or curiosity, I commonly read only those books that were assigned. Rather than exploring new concepts, I stayed on the designated curriculum and track. And rather than creating new ideas after school, I completed my homework. By high school, my GPA became somewhat of a false deity, a barometer of self worth, and a ticket to future success. Sadly, a large number of my "academically successful" peers had an even more distorted view of education than I. In high school, I often saw students copying each others homework before class as a means to manipulate the system. School was not about learning, it was about recieiving high grades. In college, this same manipulation manifests itself every time I hear a student say "I'm not taking Professor X's class because it's hard and I need an "A" for grad/law/med school."
Moreover, not only does the "A" to "F" scale seem flawed but the standards we measure as well. Commonly, in public schools we measure math, science, and reading but deny the students who excel in dance, singing, painting, building, and poetry the self worth of receiving an "A" in their area of expertise.
Should pub. schools in the US eliminate the traditional A to F grading scale? Is there a better way?

Jan 8 2012: I agree with the fact that we are only going to school for a grade. It disturbes me that the school system has made education as a symbol of how perfect you are instead of as a method of spreading new ideas, and having kids get excited about the world! If we are constantly worrying about what grade we get, and learning everything for the next test, nothing sticks, and nothing interests. Instead we see education as a burden, something stressful and ugly, and not fun. But, when we look at all of these TED talks (for example), we can see how exciting education and innovation can be. I know that if my classes were based on homework, class participation/discussions, projects, and maybe just quizzes (since those test your memory but are not as stressful as tests) I would have a lot more fun at school, and absorb so much more.
However with all of the fuss about equal education i think there are three sides of the story, 1 it is true that those who say live in dangerous neighborhoods with low income have less of an opportunity for education, 2 there are those who don't have the capability(seriously don't) who would be lost in a class with other kids, or if you dumbed down the class would lose a lot of the faster learners (like the standardized testing system) 3, there are the kids who just don't care, and don't want to. I believe the last one can be changed with the way the education system works, if we can make it more about how these topics connect to us, why we should care, and more exciting/fun rather than grades and a bunch of homework then we might be able to get this last group up and running. See there are all different situations.

BRASELTON - The town received its bond rating for March, and if the results are like those of a report card, then the town just moved from the B to A honor roll.According to Standard and Poor's, the bond rating agency for more than 80 percent of the nation's municipal and corporate bonds, the town's rating for water and sewerage system revenue bonds was raised from BBB+ to A-. The move brought praise from Mayor Pat Graham. "We are very pleased with the rating level," Graham said. "In part, it reinforces the mission of the water and sewer enterprise funds and its bonding capacity which allows for expansions of our system." In assigning a rating for revenue bonds, the major rating agencies assess economy, debt structure, financial condition, demographic factors and management practices of the governing body and administration. A- bonds are rated as favorable investments and considered to be upper medium grade obligations, citing factors giving security to principal and interest structure.

U.S. Government Sues Bank Of America For "Spectacularly Brazen†Mortgage Fraud (http://www.globalethics.org/newsline/2012/10/29/brazen-mortgage-fraud/)
"But bank says it can't be held responsible for fallout from economic downturn
NEW YORK and CHARLOTTE, N.C.
Bank of America, one of the largest lenders in the United States, was hit with a $1 billion federal fraud lawsuit in which the bank and its Countrywide Financial mortgage unit are accused of selling defective loans to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, quasi-public mortgage agencies now under control of the federal government.
Those loans, the Department of Justice claims, later went into default.
The Associated Press says in an unbylined report that the suit also alleges deliberate deception and a subsequent cover-up, painting "an unflattering picture of a doomed lender." The suit alleges that "executives at Countrywide Financial urged workers to churn out loans, accepted fudged applications and tried to hide ballooning defaults," notes the AP.
Manhattan-based U.S. attorney Preet Bharara, in a statement announcing the suit, called the actions "spectacularly brazen," according reports Bloomberg. "Through a program aptly named 'the Hustle,' Countrywide and Bank of America made disastrously bad loans and stuck taxpayers with the bill."
According to the Charlotte Observer, the suit "opens a new chapter in the Charlotte bank's long-running legal woes, which have pummeled its earnings. Bank of America already has lost billions of dollars through write-downs and legal settlements related to Countrywide's lending practices and the bank's 2009 acquisition of Merrill Lynch."
Bank of America has denied the allegations, saying it cannot be expected to reimburse every entity that lost money due to the economic downturn, reports USA Today."
I say good for the government, with my personal experience with Bank of America they most likely deserve it. They probably DID sell defective loans and they probably DID "churn out loans, accepted fudged applications and tried to hide ballooning defaults".
My story is slightly different, however Bank of America made the similiar claim, that "we are not responsible for the money taken out of your escrow account for a tax that doesn't exist ". They did not want to reimburse me a couple thousand dollars, why would they want to pay out billions?
On top of their lying and cheating AND other issues they have had in the past with mortgages, their customer service is horrible. I fought for 6 months explaining explaining my story over and over and over again my to different employees and got no where. I finally re-financed my mortgage with another lender.
In my advice, do not ever get a mortgage, bank account, credit card or any loan through Bank of America!

Hepatitis C
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) causes liver disease and it is found in the blood of persons who are infected. HCV is spread by contact with the blood of an infected person.
Hepatitis C infects about 25,000 people each year with most developing chronic infection. However, many of those with chronic hepatitis C do not even know they are infected. Those individuals with chronic infection are at risk for developing chronic liver diseases such as cirrhosis and cancer of the liver. Individuals who injected drugs are at highest risk for infection even if they injected only once many years ago.
Unlike hepatitis A and hepatitis B there is not a vaccine to prevent hepatitis C. Over the years, the treatments for hepatitis C have become more effective. However, treatment is not for everyone and a specialist should be consulted when determining if someone should get treated.
