Familiar questions, few answers so far for OMB's latest financial systems effort
In part 1 of Federal News Radio's special report, this second attempt by OMB to move agencies to financial management shared services is fraught with the same obstacles of a decade ago. But OMB believes this attempt at shared services is different. The administration says budget concerns and technology advancements will help overcome these long-standing barriers.

Army prepares to undergo its first large-scale financial audit
The Army hopes to follow behind the Marine Corps in successfully passing a partial audit of its financial statements. While the service acknowledges it's unlikely to get a clean opinion on the first go-round, it is confident enough in its internal controls to give it a try.

Time to fix the federal spending house of (reporting) horrors
Despite the billions spent investing in systems, financial processes are such that when you add up all the layers, it takes something akin to archaeology for a citizen to unearth a specific fact about where and how money was spent, says Federal News Radio host Tom Temin.

DoD plans dry-run financial audit for 2015
The entire military must pass a financial audit by 2017, and the military services have made slow, uneven progress toward that goal. The Pentagon plans to conduct a partial audit of the entire department next year to identify weaknesses and areas in which it should focus its energy.

Borras leaves DHS more integrated, on better financial path
Rafael Borras spent the last four years as the undersecretary of management for the Homeland Security Department before leaving Feb. 7. He said his goal was to make DHS more business-like by making it easier to apply data to decisions. Under Borras' leadership, DHS launched the Management Cube and received its first-ever clean financial audit opinion.

Survey: Budget crises leave little time for long-term planning
A string of recent budget crises, doomsday deadlines and last-minute deals has complicated agencies' longer-term budget planning. However, most agency budget professionals say they're plowing through the uncertainty and will be able to meet spending targets for fiscal 2015 mandated by the Office of Management and Budget, according to a recent survey by Grant Thornton and the American Association for Budget and Program Analysis.

Some news stories just make you lose all faith in humanity.
According to the office of Cobb County prosecutor Barry Morgan, Nelson – who had no car at the time – committed vehicular homicide by attempting to cross a five-lane highway with her three kids to get to her apartment, after being let off the bus.
An Atlanta-area mother who lost her four-year-old son to a hit and run while crossing the street has been charged and convicted of vehicular homicide.
Perhaps this is not surprising:
Nelson, 30 and African-American, was convicted on the charge this week by six jurors who were not her peers: All were middle-class whites, and none had ever taken a bus in metro Atlanta.
I can't even describe how disgusted I feel that I live in a country which punishes low-income women to this degree. I've written before about the relationship between transportation, poverty and stress–but this case takes it to the most absurd degree.
As this post points out, it would be much cheaper and more just to, I don't know, put in crosswalks at bus stops located on busy highways, rather than putting an innocent women in prison? The culture of criminalization, particularly of low-income people of color, has risen to such heights in this country. What good does putting Nelson in jail do? She has already suffered the worst punishment–the loss of her child.
As a friend said, the prosecutors "stuck a knife in a grieving mother and twisted it." Now she's awaiting sentencing of up to 36 months in jail and working desperately to make provisions for her kids, should she be sent away. Prosecuting people like Raquel Nelson, who truly are the victims of poor planning and bad design, is like closing the door of the proverbial barn and then burning it down. One well-marked crosswalk would save more lives, and in all likelihood it would cost less than this malicious prosecution cost the taxpayers of Georgia.

Visual Studio 6 + Win2003 Server = Ughh!
Well not entirely..
Essentially we're deploying Visual Studio 6 + SP5 (SP6 has uninstall issues for some reason but our client is happy with SP5) on a silent install and all works well under WinXP.
Now.. Under Win2003 Server it installs and runs fine for Administrator. Under the User.. well.. gawd.. almost all the 30+ apps had user permissions issues.
Ironed them out EXCEPT for four..
These four either:
a) Write random keys to the HKCR\CLSID section which only admins can access
b) Write to 200+ reg keys in HKCR\CLSID\Rose*.* so I need to give admin access to all 200 there. Ughhh!
c) Require multiple file/folder/registry permissions for multiple addon components (in this case, Visual Basic 6).
Of course I cannot give Admin rights to Users in HKCR\CLSID as thats an utterly massive security breach especially when Visual Studio 6 will be used by users on the Win2003 server..
What I need to know is:
1) Other than simple Regmon and Filemon, is there a full-blown File/Folder/Registry Permission Checker that can scan the EXE of an app running to see what File/Folder/Registry entries are being OPEN\QUERY\WRITTEN to? This is a HOLY GRAIL app and would solve huge headaches especially for down the road.
I know that on the IIS Resource Kit CD there is this:
Permission Checker
The Permission Checker component can be used to check the access rights (for the current user) to a given file. You can use Permission Checker to exclude the items that are not accessible to the current user from the generated HTML page.
2) An easier way to solve a, b , c above other than going to Microsoft and asking them directly how to bypass these permission problems so a User without admin rights can access these remaining 4 Visual Studio 6 apps under Win2003 server?
Thanks all!
e. [8|]
so that the conversation will remain readable.

Colloquium-Zheng-Zheng Tang (University of North Carolina)-Meta-analysis of sequencing studies with heterogeneous genetic associations
Mathematics - Colloquium
Tuesday, January 21, 2014
ABSTRACT: Recent advances in sequencing technologies have made it possible to explore the influence of rare variants on complex diseases and traits. Meta-analysis is essential to this exploration because large sample sizes are required to detect rare variants. Several methods are available to conduct meta-analysis for rare variants under fixed-effects models, which assume that the genetic effects are the same across all studies. In practice, genetic associations are likely to be heterogeneous among studies because of differences in population composition, environmental factors, phenotype and genotype measurements, or analysis method. We propose random-effects models which allow the genetic effects to vary among studies and develop the corresponding meta-analysis methods for gene-based association tests. Our methods take score statistics, rather than individual participant data, as input and thus can accommodate any study designs and any phenotypes. We produce the random-effects versions of all commonly used gene-based association tests, including burden, variable threshold and variance-component tests. We demonstrate through extensive simulation studies that our random-effects tests are substantially more powerful than the fixed-effects tests in the presence of moderate and high between-study heterogeneity and achieve similar power to the latter when the heterogeneity is low. The usefulness of the proposed methods is further illustrated with data from National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Exome Sequencing Project (NHLBI ESP). The relevant software is freely available.

Review of order fulfilment models for Catalogue Mass Customization
Brabazon, Philip G. and MacCarthy, Bart L. (2005) Review of order fulfilment models for Catalogue Mass Customization. In: Proceedings of the International Mass Customization Meeting 2005 (IMCM '05). GITO-Verlag, pp. 61-74. ISBN 3-936771-46-4
Mass Customization (MC) is not a mature business strategy and hence it is not clear that a single or small group of operational models are dominating. Companies tend to approach MC from either a mass production or a customization origin and this in itself gives reason to believe that several operational models will be observable. This paper reviews actual and theoretical fulfilment systems that enterprises could apply when offering a pre-engineered catalogue of customizable products and options. Issues considered are: How product flows are structured in relation to processes, inventories and decoupling point(s); - Characteristics of the OF process that inhibit or facilitate fulfilment; - The logic of how products are allocated to customers; - Customer factors that influence OF process design and operation. Diversity in the order fulfilment structures is expected and is found in the literature. The review has identified four structural forms that have been used in a Catalogue MC context: - fulfilment from stock; - fulfilment from a single fixed decoupling point; - fulfilment from one of several fixed decoupling points; - fulfilment from several locations, with floating decoupling points. From the review it is apparent that producers are being imaginative in coping with the demands of high variety, high volume, customization and short lead times. These demands have encouraged the relationship between product, process and customer to be re-examined. Not only has this strengthened interest in commonality and postponement, but, as is reported in the paper, has led to the re-engineering of the order fulfilment process to create models with multiple fixed decoupling points and the floating decoupling point system

Butterfly garden receives new irrigation system
Date: September 15, 2009
by: Robin Hartill | Community Editor
Employees of Water Works, of Bradenton, installed a new irrigation system today at the Longboat Key Garden Club's butterfly garden at Bicentennial Park.
The new, automatic drip system will allow the garden to comply with watering restrictions without requiring volunteers to water plants.
"We just wanted to make sure we were watering in the most efficient way," said Jackie Salvino, Garden Club president.
The $550 project was funded through donations and the Garden Club's annual "Home & Garden Tour."
Garden Club members meet at 2 p.m. the first Friday of every month to maintain the butterfly garden. Salvino said volunteers are needed.
For information, contact Salvino at 383-1406. Donations for the butterfly garden can be sent to P.O. Box 8375, Longboat Key, Fla., 34228.

Burlesque for Valentina has always been about multi-tasking. How many different mind-boggling circus skills can she master WHILE taking it off? So far she has become one of the most celebrated Hoop-Burlesque performers in the world, and that is only the beginning! She has also successfully fused belly dancing, sword balancing, fire dancing and snake charming with burlesque.
The concept came innocently enough while she was practicing hooping outside her house one afternoon. She started to sweat and needed to cool down so she took off her sweater WHILE hula hooping around her waist without missing a beat! A light bulb went off! Suddenly she thought of all those times she saw Catherine D'Lish perform in her giant martini glass at her mother's Arabia Exotica events. "What if I could do a whole strip tease burlesque routine while hooping?" A mad dash to youtube yielded no truly impressive Hoop Tease videos and the challenge was on! She created her first Hoop Burlesque piece in 2008 and it was featured on Showtime's Live Nude Comedy shortly there after.
Now Valentina's Burlesque shows have become a form of expression that inspires other people to love their bodies as much as she is enjoying hers on stage. Truly feeling sexy and sensual on stage gives others the permission and courage to feel the same way about themselves, and THAT is why she does it! Learn Burlesque from Valentina in her new series that starts in April, more info coming soon! Email firstname.lastname@example.com or call 858-344-2774 to book a burlesque show today!

Venus, Jupiter, Prepare For A Heavenly Date
If you've had your eye on the western sky after sundown for the last several nights, you've been witness to a breathtaking sight. The two brightest planets, Venus and Jupiter, have been moving (at least from our perspective) ever closer.
On Thursday night, the two planets will line up in conjunction. Venus is about twice as bright as Jupiter, but they are both unmistakable – just look for the bright orbs in the west. -Scott Neuman

JamHub for rehearsals: I got tired of the volume war at band practice and thought, "Hey, let's practice with headphones instead". Seemed like a reasonable idea. So, about a year ago I dropped a decent amount of cash to buy the JamHub. It was designed specifically for my issue. Sadly, it hasn't been used even once at any of our rehearsals. Why? It's not that it's a bad product. It's just that by the time every band member has traveled to the rehearsal spot, hauled their gear into the space, and set up their equipment no one wants to spend another five to ten minutes adjusting the settings of their headphone mix. I suppose the JamHub would be a worthwhile product if you planned on practicing in the same space every time but that's not the case with my band. Plus, the JamHub is better designed to be used with electronic drum kits, not a live kit like my drummer uses. Photo source: soundonsound.com
Music Garage: Stopped in at the Music Garage today. Chris who runs the place has a good approach to marketing his studio services. He rents out rehearsal rooms to a variety of bands, but on your way to your practice space you pass by his professional studio. So the thought of recording your music is always nearby. Music Garage
We used this little device last night at my band's rehearsal (Tascam DR-05). It's amazing how recording band practice will quickly improve everyone's sound. You get to hear all the good, and the bad, the next day. My band had plenty of both. (Taken with instagram)

Meet the Staff
Ken Laird
My first trip to Napa was on a camping trip with my family. The beauty and lifestyle of this valley, in the early seventies, was too much to resist. It became my life's ambition to live in and be a part of the family industry here. Eventually, I left the corporate world behind and was able to do just that.
My Favorite Laird Wine, Ghost Ranch Pinot Noir
Rebecca Laird
General Manager
Having been brought up in viticulture, I was tying vines at the age of five. Needless to say, I left the area as quickly as I could after my high school graduation. Fifteen years later I was a department store executive with a bad case of retail burn out. I came back to the Napa Valley and realized everything I was looking for was right here all along.
My favorite Laird wine: Suscol Merlot.
Paul Hobbs
Consulting Winemaker
Paul Hobbs has crafted wines that draw attention to detail. They ask to be savored slowly so the inherent intricacies of each wine may be recognized. They are not of overwhelming fruit immensity but wines of elegance and polish, reflective of their origins.
Julian Gonzalez
My experience in the world of winemaking started harvest of 1994, when I accepted part-time positions at both Stag's Leap Wine Cellars and Dominus Estate working as a cellar worker. I alternated working mornings in one place and afternoons at the other. From harvest of 1994, I moved through various positions at the following wineries: Louis M Martini, Chateau Potelle, Vine Cliff, Paul Hobbs Winery, Mi Sueno Winery and Paul Hobbs Consulting. In 1996 I began to become passionate about the wine industry while working at Chateau Potelle. In 2000 I was promoted to cellar master at Vine Cliff, and four year later I was promoted to assistant winemaker at Paul Hobbs Winery. Finally in 2007 I was able to achieve one of my dream goals; I was entrusted with the position of consulting winemaker at Paul Hobbs Consulting.
In my free time I enjoy listening and playing music. I also enjoy watching Football and Soccer.
My favorite Laird wine is Red Hen Chardonnay.
Luies Gallegos
Wines Cellar Master
My father has worked for Ken Laird for 31 years and my mother briefly worked for the Laird's vineyard management company, so when I was very young they brought me into the vineyards and the Laird family. When construction began on the winery and wine-making facility I came to work for Rebecca Laird as a cellar worker. I worked in almost every area of the winery, and in 2005 was promoted to Laird Family Wines Cellar Master position.
Outside of the winery you can find me either fishing and boating up at Lake Berryessa with my friends and family. I'm also a huge sports fan; Raiders, Warriors and A's.
My favorite Laird wine is Pinot Grigio.
Erin Martin
National Sales Manager
I started out as a waitress in New York City after college, where I fell in love with all that the wine industry has to offer. I took classes with the American Sommelier Association in New York, then went on to work in a bottle shop and for a wine distributor in Virginia before moving out to California and working for Laird Family Estate.
When not slinging grapes, I like to read, cook, hike, go to Giants games, and generally make merriment with friends.
My favorite Laird wine is the Ghost Ranch Pinot Noir.
Justin Ward
Northern California Sales Manager
What started as a passion for Italian wine, turned into managing a wine shop after college in Richmond, VA. I decided to forget my law school plans and drive cross country to Napa Valley where I was lucky to be hired at Laird Family Estate.
In my free time I enjoy golf, basketball, fly fishing and watching the Giants and Jeopardy.
My Favorite Laird Wine is the Suscol Syrah.
Terra Rapoport
Tasting Room & Wine Club Manager
In 2008 my girlfriends took me out wine tasting for the very first time and I was instantly in love the whole experience; the wine, the history and the feeling of being part of a family. I then began taking wine appreciation classes at Santa Rosa Junior College and was discovered by the director of administration of a local winery and then before I knew it I was pouring behind the bar and helping run their wine club. After a brief detour in the dental industry I found myself happy and right at home with the Laird Family.
If you can't find me in the tasting room there's a good chance I can be found at the gym or hiking through Armstrong woods. I also enjoy trying new restaurants, spa days, making crafts and playing board games.
My favorite Laird wines are Jillian's Blend and Cold Creek Chardonnay.
Madeleine Rose Tasting Room and Hospitality
One of my very first memories was picnicking at Buena Vista Winery with my family when I was 3 years old. Even at a young age I was enchanted by the beauty and the culture of the entire experience. As I grew up, my enchantment turned into a passion, and my passion turned into my career. After graduating from UCSD, I took wine classes through the Wine & Spirit Education Trust and I received certificates at both the intermediate and advanced level. Shortly after that, I found my new home at Laird Family Estate.
Aside from being a total wine geek, I love to travel and I'm pretty much obsessed with history. I majored in history, and it will forever remain one of my favorite topics of discussion.
My favorite Laird wine is our Mast Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon.
Scott Sanders
Tasting Room Associate
My humble beginnings in wine started in my teens when my best friend and I acquired a bottle of Cold Duck and hid it in the bushes on a hot Burbank night. Understandably it took me years to get the "warm" Cold Duck taste out of my mind. Years later while earning my Marketing degree at the University of Redlands, I enrolled in a class called "Classical Music and Wine Tasting". I was immediately taken with wine and embarked on a quest to combine my two favorite hobbies: Wine and travel. I hosted blind tastings in my dorm room and later organized wine trips throughout California. A decade later I left an unsatisfying corporate job to come to Napa Valley. I worked at numerous wineries including a 17 year stint at Merryvale Vineyards, where I worked in the tasting room, special events room, and sold wine to retailers and restaurants in San Francisco. As Merryvale buys grapes and crushed at Laird, I stopped by to try Laird wines. I was so impressed I came back the next week and offered my resume.
Choosing my favorite Laird wine is like choosing your favorite child. Still, I love the rich full bodied elegance of the Suscol Ranch Syrah.
On my free time…I have kids, there is no free time! Still, when I get a break, I travel, camp and go wine tasting.

International Electives
The Stony Brook Pediatric Residency Program supports residents in expanding their interests in the study of global health as well as service in international health care in developing countries. Our residents are provided opportunities to travel, learn, and provide health care in geographically diverse cultures through our international elective rotations. We have developed an ongoing relationship with Angkor Hospital for Children in Siem Reap, Cambodia, where we send a resident annually for a 4-week block rotation. Angkor Hospital for Children, built in 1999, is the hospital for children living in and around the province of Siem Reap, with 50 inpatient beds and approximately 300 to 400 outpatient visits annually.
The resident participates in all outpatient and inpatient rotations at the hospital, and attends conferences and lectures. In addition, the resident has the opportunity to accompany the hospital's Home Care team on visitations to villages in the surrounding area to care for children with chronic diseases (the most common being HIV, malnutrition, and neurologic disability) as well as observe preventative medicine and health education activities at local health centers. It is an overwhelmingly positive and enriching experience for both the resident and the staff at Angkor Hospital for Children. Stony Brook residents return from the international rotation with a new understanding of international medical challenges, cultural differences, and cultural sensitivity.
In addition to the Cambodia experience, several of our residents recently traveled to Africa on a medical mission with a team of physicians. In Kitwe, Zambia the residents provided care to over 800 children, many of whom had never before seen a doctor. The residents had the opportunity to treat a wide variety of diseases, including malaria, Pott's disease, goiters, worm infestation, malnutrition, cutaneous larva migrans, impetigo, tinea, scabies, and schistosomiasis.
We are actively exploring other such opportunities for our trainees to support their interest in international medicine.

OAKLAND, Calif. -- Golden State Warriors centre Andrew Bogut will be sidelined the next seven to 10 days to rest and strengthen his surgically repaired left ankle.
The announcement Thursday is the kind of setback Bogut and the Warriors were hoping to avoid this season. The 7-footer from Australia was held scoreless while playing 17 minutes in Golden State's 106-96 win against Cleveland on Wednesday night. He had five assists and three rebounds.
Bogut sat out all of the preseason. He has moved slowly and showed little lift while playing four of the first five regular-season games. The 2005 No. 1 overall pick fractured his ankle Jan. 25 with Milwaukee and missed the rest of the season after being traded to Golden State for guard Monta Ellis, among others.

Psycho T Is Obviously Glad He's Sticking Around UNC For Another Year
5/1/08 in NCAAF | 100%InjuryRate | 1283 respect
Yesterday, the 850 The Buzz Blog brought us a shot of UNC basketball player Bobby Frasor jumping off of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon frat house into an above ground pool. Not the smartest thing to do, especially since Frasor is still supposedly recovering from a busted up knee.
But if you look closely in the Frasor jump picture, you'll see Psycho T macking on some girl right near Frasor. The question everyone has been asking obviously is, did Psycho T take a plunge as well? Yes, yes he did.
There's you national player of the year diving into the pool (pic again courtesy of 850 The Buzz). And you know it's only a matter of time before video leaks out of this. I'm sure Roy Williams approves.
Now, I won't go on a rant about how Psycho T is an an idiot and could injure himself and lose millions. No, I'll instead say this.
He should have done a flip. What a wimp.

How do plants know it's spring?
Without fail, seeds begin to sprout and trees begin to flower in spring. But how do they know to wake up from their winter dormancy?
Fri, Feb 17, 2012 at 03:34 PM
GREEN BEGINNINGS: A tree is beginning to sprout leaves, spurred on by the warmer weather of spring. (Photo: sjdunphy/Flickr)
It happens every year: as soon as it begins to get warmer, plants once again sprout from the ground, and trees begin to grow buds.
How do they detect that it's spring? What are the mechanisms involved?
Something surprising that not many people realize is that plants can tell time. Plants have genes that suppress flowering and growth, and these genes are time sensitive. Plants actually register how many cold days have passed, and when enough have gone by, the genes are temporarily deactivated, allowing flowering and growth. Usually, the amount of cold days is equal to how many days are in winter and fall, hence why most plants do not grow much or flower in those seasons. It's important for these plants to have mechanisms that count the number of cold days, because if a plant goes into its flowering phase too early, it usually is quite bad for the plant. It usually prevents the plant from reproducing properly, and in the case of smaller plants, it is often fatal.
Another use plants have for this time-keeping mechanism is when to drop their leaves and seeds. Those processes also require certain seasons, and if they occur in the wrong seasons, there are detrimental consequences for the plant. If seeds are dropped in the wrong season, they may not sprout in the right season, or they may also all get eaten by wildlife. If leaves are dropped during the wrong season, especially in summer or spring, the plant's whole schedule will be thrown off, and it will unable to use photosynthesis properly.
Plants also keep a 24-hour clock as well as a daily one. When plants are flowering, they function on a 24-hour cycle, opening their petals in the daytime, and closing them at night. They also function like this in regard to their leaves, especially plants that live in hotter and drier areas. There is a certain group of plants called CAM plants who close their stomata (holes in the leaves that allow for gas transport) during the day to minimize water loss, and reopen them at night. Unlike most plants, the open stomata at night collect carbon dioxide to use during photosynthesis in the day, while the stomata are closed. Most other plants keep their stomata open at all times, since they tend to live in less arid conditions.
People aren't sure exactly what causes these time-keeping mechanisms to work, but they are certainly there nonetheless. Even if people don't realize they are there, they are very important factors in keeping the plant life of the world alive.

I'm working on getting those, as well as lots of others ^.^ I'm so excited to be able to share a portion of my collection with everyone! It's a never ending process! There's much much more than what was listed/screen shot, but I don't think people would be nearly as interested in the entirety as I am lol
Thanks so much Wow Insider! It was a blast talking with you guys, and an honor to see the article! :D

April 16, 2007 -- Scientists have identified five new DNA regions that may
make Crohn's disease more likely.
Those five DNA regions include three known genes (the ATG16L1, PHOX2B, and
NCF4 genes), a predicted gene called FAM92B, and a DNA spot located between
The researchers included John Rioux, PhD, of Canada's University de Montreal
and the Montreal Heart Institute.
They had previously reported that two other genes -- the CARD15 and IL23R
genes -- were associated with Crohn's disease.
Crohn's disease is a type of inflammatory bowel disease. It
causes inflammation anywhere along the digestive tract. The most common
symptoms include abdominal
pain and diarrhea, which can be bloody.
In their new study, Rioux and colleagues screened the DNA of about 1,000
people with Crohn's disease and 1,000 without Crohn's disease.
The researchers found that Crohn's disease was associated with the five
newly discovered gene regions and with the two previously noted genes.
Those genetic associations were confirmed in two follow-up DNA screenings of
other people with and without Crohn's disease.
Further studies are needed to confirm the findings. Ultimately, such
research could lead to new Crohn's
disease treatments, note the researchers.
The study, published in the advance online edition of Nature
Genetics, doesn't blame Crohn's disease entirely on genes.
Inflammatory bowel disease -- including Crohn's disease -- is "complex" and
"results from a combination of genetic and nongenetic risk factors," write
Rioux and colleagues.

It would be interesting, however I doubt I will come back now. Too many things I personally dont like starting to crop up etc etc, and the main reason was it wasnt being fun for me anymore, it was the continual daily grinds that felt like another job that did it for me.
The boxes are the least of my worries in that sense. Personally I feel that the percieved age of the game, with both upfront costs AND subsciptions - and extras if you so choose to buy them, means people think they are buying an old old game for a lot of money thats going to keep sucking the money out of their pocket. In the current economic environment it is not very attractive to prospective buyers. Reducing the upfront cost will help in the fact that people will decide to try it - as it doesnt cost too much to start.

Cute Little Save the Date Magnet
Bold Type Save the Date Magnets I think these were a great choice for me and my hubby. It's a nice size not to big not to small but just right. All our guest like it and they can stick it on their fridge. Its something that's like a little keep sake, its great quality and I designed it how I wanted.
One Sweet Day Tea-length Programs We love them. They are perfect for our wedding. It was very easy to customize. We've never seen anything like them.
Modern Elegance
Bold Statement Foldover Pockets I LOVE my invitations. I personalized them to have our logo replace the logo that originally came on the front of the invitation. I removed the arrows on the front as well but left the ones inside. I changed the colors multiple times and the final result is perfect. I love that you can request custom changes to make your invite exactly what you want. I was even called to make sure my numbers were correct because I ordered less of one product (on purpose). The service and speed were right on target and the cost point could not have been better. The coupons are fabulous and so is the quality. My invitations cost half of what my sister-in-laws cost from an invitation shop. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Good Quality
Bold Type Save the Date Magnets I was very happy with the mini magnet save the dates we received, however the only thing was that the edges looked cheaply cut. The background of my save the dates are navy blue and you can see where the machine cut them leaving some white spots. Other than that I am very happy with the product and the shipping was very timely.
Bold Type Save the Date Magnets I would recommend magnet street to ANYONE! I literally got 5 texts from different people saying how much they liked the design and that it was a full magnet for the fridge after they got my Save the Dates. Not only was it quick, it was easy to use! The part that took the longest was me being indecisive about how I wanted it to look!

VERY Good recipe. Would love the nutritional information. Only used the 1 tbsp olive oil set aside from sun dried tomatoes after draining to save calories and cooked in a non-stick pan. Also sprayed a small amount of olive oil in the pan that the fish was cooked in. Hopefully that saved 220 calores off of the meal serving 4. Beautiful presentation. Served with roasted asparagus from Cooking Light recipes.

It was a beautiful day across Michiana Friday and some local students took advantage of it.
Friday, geometry class was held outdoors for some St. Joseph's High School students.
The students have been hitting the books learning about shapes and that includes the shape of a kite.
So Friday, students tested different kite designs to see which shape works best.
Of course the day's beautiful weather and wind helped make the class a success.


text: How Democrats Understand Immigration Reform: 'A Gigantic Block [Sic] of Progressive Voters' Print article Send a Tip by Joel B. Pollak 3 Feb 2013 post a comment As the national debate over immigration reform heats up, Republicans who believe that there are political benefits in passing new legislation might consider what Democrats believe about their own political advantages. For years, Democrat strategists such as convicted felon Robert Creamer--a key organizer in Chicago, closely connected to the circle around Barack Obama--have openly proclaimed the electoral advantages of immigration reform for their own party. From a federal prison camp in 2006, Creamer--pictured above, at a 2009 state dinner with spouse Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL)--began writing his plan for a future "progressive" administration. The book that emerged, Listen to Your Mother: Stand Up Straight! How Progressives Can Win, was effusively praised by many of Barack Obama's key staffers and supporters. Chief political strategist David Axelrod, for example, called it "a blueprint for future victories." In December 2009, Breitbart News exposed how Creamer's political plan called for a future "progressive" administration to push for universal health care in its first year in office. The plan--which called for attacking the health insurance industry, among other steps--closely mirrored the actions that the Obama administration and its campaign arm actually took in the contentious battles throughout 2009 and the early months of 2010. Universal health care was to be only the first in a series of steps in what Creamer called the "battle over the distribution of income, and control of wealth in the United States." The first radical changes--such as health care reform--would make each subsequent transformation more politically feasible. One of the most critical steps was to be comprehensive immigration reform, which Creamer described in naked partisan terms: If Democrats continue to stand unequivocally with Hispanics and recent immigrants, it will benefit the party for years to come... To neutralize [a] backlash, we need to reframe the battle for immigration reform as a campaign for an "Earned Path to Citizenship"... ...[T]he immigration battle is also important because it will have an enormous impact on the battle for power between the progressive and conservative forces in American society. As of 2007, there are 12 million undocumented immigrants in the United States. If they are placed on an earned pathway to citizenship through immigration reform, they will be eligible for citizenship and voting rights by 2012 and 2016. They will join the nearly 30 million immigrants who are legal residents and could apply today for citizenship, or are citizens yet not registered to vote, or immigrant voters who never go to the polls, or immigrants who will turn 18 years old this year and could register to vote. If Democrats continue to stand firmly for immigrant rights, the issue will define immigrants' voting loyalties for a generation. If we are successful, a gigantic bloc of progressive voters will enter the electorate over the next 15 years--a block that could be decisive in the battle for the future. The "future," as Creamer saw it, involved creating "a democratic society"--i.e. not the democracy we know today, but one in which "power is diffused to everyone," a classic left-wing utopia. These ambitions were not just limited to the United States, but to the entire world, as Creamer urged a "battle for progressive control of governments around the world." Immigration reform was just one piece of that "progressive" puzzle--but an essential one, and one that Obama's "progressive" advisers have no intention of sharing credit for with the Republican opposition.

While most studies of his thought have emphasized the extent to which, for Foucault, subjects are the products of power, this thesis seeks to examine that mode of subjectivity which, for him, can escape the reach of power or can resist power. This thesis shows that Foucault borrowed extensively from the works of Georges Bataille and Georges Canguilhem in articulating a vitalist conception of the subject, a subject whose ability to resist power resided in the vital forces which traversed it.
In achieving these tasks, this thesis responds to the liberal critics of Foucault who argue that his conception of power effectively eliminates the rationale for or possibility of resistance. The thesis also elucidates for the first time the nature of the intellectual influence Bataille had upon Foucault, showing that Foucault used Bataillean conceptions of sovereignty and the sovereign subject. It also radically reinterprets the influence Canguilhem had on Foucault, showing that, beyond well documented methodological influences, Canguilhem provided Foucault with a framework for theorizing power and resistance.

About Admissions
The MSW admissions process is designed to ensure that the Jane Addams College of Social Work has a talented and diverse student body committed to social, economic, and racial justice. Applicants should submit applications according to the following schedule:
|Application Period
|1. Full-time (Domestic applications)
|October 1 to January 15
|2. PM (Domestic applications)
|October 1 to January 15
|3. Advanced Standing
|October 1 to January 15
4. Transfers From Other CSWE accredited MSW programs
|October 1 to January 15
|5. International applications
|October 1 to January 15
All applications should be complete at the time of submission. Incomplete applications will be placed in a holding file, pending receipt of the missing information. Applicants will be informed regarding missing information and have the responsibility to complete their application by the deadline for the option that is of interest to them. Missing information should be sent directly to the Admissions and Financial Aid Office at the College.
Applicants should note also that several factors are considered in an effort to determine if an applicant meets the requirements for admission and has the potential to be a good social worker, consistent with the values and mission of the Jane Addams College of Social Work. These factors include, but are not limited to, the ability to do graduate work, strong writing skills, good and relevant experiences, and commitment to the mission of the College. The admissions process is designed to result in a decision that applicants either meet or do not meet the requirements for admission to the College. All applications submitted are reviewed and given consideration.
Submission of the admission application and the admission decision are only two steps in the process followed in enrolling students in the College. It is important, therefore, that individuals respond promptly to communications from the College as well to keep the College informed of any changes in plans or situations.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Time and time again, the developers still have no idea what direction they want the Mage. AoE generates tons of aggro, so how do the Devs intend to mitigate this when they want to turn the Mage into an AoE force? I wouldn't call Invisibility the greatest new spell added to the Mage repertoire, considering the nerfs tacked on. The top tier mage talents need some serious consideration, especially the frost tree.
