Ancient Mayan Civilization: Will the World Really End in 2012?
Ancient Mayan Civilization: Will the World Really End in 2012?
The Mexican government will soon be relinquishing highly sought after information about the Mayan calendar and ancient Mayan civilization. This information has been carefully safeguarded for 80 years and will be used to help shed light on the year 2012 and be included in the new documentary Revelations of the Mayans 2012 and Beyond.
The producer of the documentary, Raul Julia-Levy, will be given access to locations currently unknown to the public, one of which is Calakmul, a prominent Mayan archaeological site. At Calakmul, there are rooms that have never been unveiled or examined, and Julia- Levy has been given permission to film there to capture secrets unknown to the world.
The film itself will shed light on the question many of us are thinking, will the word really end in December 2010? What we will find from this documentary is a totally new perspective on ancient Mayan civilization and the world as we know it. "This is very important for humanity, not just Mexico," said Julia-Levy. "This information has been protected for 80 years, and now it's important for people to understand the series of events that are coming and the consequences for all of us."
The film will be directed by Juan Carlos Rulfo and will begin shooting this year. It is set to arrive before December 21, 2012, the end of the Mayan calendar.

Jay W. Lorsch is an internationally recognized expert in boards and corporate governance. Here he argues that the lack of experienced bankers on bank boards was a major contributor to the 2008 financial crisis. He believes that the "independence" criteria played a big part in banks' preference for nonbankers as nonexecutives, and must now be reconsidered. Lorsch also argues that US companies should keep the roles of chairman and CEO separate as is the case in the United Kingdom.
Lorsch is Louis Kirstein Professor of Human Relations at Harvard Business School and Chairman of the school's global corporate governance initiative. He has taught in all of HBS's educational programs. As a consultant, Lorsch's clients have included Citicorp, Deloitte & Touche, DLA Piper Rudnick, Goldman Sachs, Tyco International, and Shire Pharmaceuticals.
Lorsch graduated from Antioch College in 1955. He has an MSc in business from Columbia University and a doctorate in business administration from HBS. From 1956–1959, he served as a lieutenant in the US Army Finance Corp. He is also a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences.
The Crisis and Financial Institutions
In the many commentaries about the credit crisis, blame has been placed squarely on the management of the failed financial institutions. While these leaders certainly bear some responsibility, the boards of directors to whom they report should not be let off the hook so easily. After all, boards are ultimately responsible for the performance of their companies.
In this essay I explore the lessons we should draw from these failures about the role of boards in overseeing complex financial institutions. I do so with two caveats. First, boards are not the only governance body that has failed. Government regulators, credit rating agencies, and accounting firms, among others, must also bear some of the responsibility. Second, knowing how boards of directors failed must largely be a matter of informed speculation on my part, since in the current legal environment the board members directly involved are not willing to talk about what went wrong. I say "informed speculation" because I have had the opportunity to consult for boards of such firms in more halcyon times.
Boardroom Realities
While boards on both sides of the Atlantic are the ultimate legal authority in corporations, their ability actually to carry out this duty is constrained by several realities. The central factor among these is what directors know and understand about their companies' plans, activities, and results.
To an extent, such knowledge can be affected by the number of times the directors meet. The less time directors spend in discussions together and with management, the less informed they may be.
However, a cursory examination of proxy statements reveals that, in 2007, the boards of the large Wall Street institutions did meet much more often than the average American company's board—on average 10 times a year for the Wall Street firms, and six times for the typical company. Even more impressively, the audit committees of these financial institutions met an average of 11 times during 2007. All of this I believe is evidence that these directors were spending time trying to understand the complexity of their companies.
However, what directors understand about these institutions is obviously the result of more than just how much time they spend together. Another significant factor can be the depth of knowledge directors bring to the boardroom about financial markets, products, and institutions from prior career experience. Unfortunately, current rules and best practices make such transfer of knowledge unlikely. The emphasis in selecting board members in the United States is on finding individuals who are "independent."
This generally means selecting directors who have no current or recent experience working for the company, its competitors or clients. The underlying idea is to create boards whose members have no conflicts of interest. While this is an understandable and worthy goal, a significant result is that most boards of financial institutions in the United States have few nonmanagement directors with prior experience in that industry.
Again, looking at the boards of the 12 largest Wall Street firms, each has at most two independent directors with prior financial experience. The other independent directors, experienced and accomplished as they may be in other industries and professions, start with a sizeable handicap.
Whether independent or not, and whether they have a prior experience of financial organizations, board members must rely on their management as the most important source of information about future plans and current company activities, risks, and results. There is no other way for directors to understand what is happening in their companies.
Trying to understand the debacles in these financial firms from outside the boardroom, it is not clear whether management understood the problems that their companies faced and chose to withhold this knowledge from the board, or else whether the top management itself did not understand the situation. However, it really doesn't matter, because either way the directors, even those few who might have had deep knowledge of financial issues, were unaware of the storm that was about to break upon them.
The fact that these boards were unaware of the catastrophe that struck their companies until after it had occurred points to the fact that boards need knowledge for two reasons.
One is to understand and make judgments about how well their company has been performing, to look in the rear view mirror. Their failure in this regard is what many observers are most likely to criticize.
However, I believe that their more serious sin occurred many years earlier, as they approved (or should have approved) the strategic plans for their company. It was at this stage that they allowed their managements to set off in new directions, which eventually did so much damage to the companies and the wider economy. My hunch is that the reception for these innovative new "products," if they were presented to the board by management, was as enthusiastic among the directors as it was among the managers proposing them.
With so little financial knowledge among the board members, my hunch is that they were reluctant or unable to raise any doubts about management's "exciting" new ideas. At least this is too often the case in boards with which I am familiar. Further, it is unlikely that the directors understood the necessity to create monitoring systems, which would keep them aware of any new risks associated with the new-fangled innovations.
It may be unfair or even unreasonable to expect directors to have been able to predict or anticipate the failures in the financial system, when top executives, regulators, and academic experts with much greater knowledge were unable to do so.
Yet, I cannot ignore the fact that the boards of these institutions have a legal and moral obligation for the health of their company, including its equity value for shareholders, and the safety of investor assets entrusted to the company. While it is unhelpful to cast blame on these boards, I do want to consider what they can do going forward to prevent future calamities.
Looking to the Future
Over the past two decades there have been plenty of ideas about boardroom best practices, including that they should have a preponderance of independent directors, the requisite committees, discussions among independent directors without management present, and board approval of strategic plans. While these innovations have been helpful to many boards, they did not go far enough to prevent the crisis that hit and, in some cases, nearly destroyed their companies.
Even assiduously adopting all these practices does not go far enough to prevent a recurrence of such problems, unless the independent directors have the information and knowledge to assess plans and results intelligently. Thus, I believe that attention needs to be focused primarily on solving this part of the problem.
I would start by requiring the boards of financial companies to have more independent directors who have deep knowledge and experience of the world of financial markets and institutions. I have in mind a principle similar to that used in the Sarbanes–Oxley Act's definition of the competence required for members of audit committees.
Based on my own experience, I believe it is possible to find directors who meet both the test of independence and have deep financial understanding. Finding such individuals requires dropping the assumption that the best directors for these financial firms are prestigious CEOs or other comparable high-status individuals. It will also require corporate governance committees and any consultants they choose to use to search more carefully for candidates who meet both criteria.
Second, these boards should adopt an idea first proposed in 1972 by the late Justice Arthur Goldberg, who was on the board of Trans World Airlines. He asked that the board create a small staff to support it with analysis and interpretation of data. This proposal was rejected at the time, but I believe it is an idea whose time has come for complex financial institutions.
There is simply too much complicated data about performance and risks for independent directors to understand, even if boards do meet monthly and consist of more members with deep financial expertise. I envision a relatively small "staff" of young professionals with the relevant expertize.
Third, I believe that these boards should recognize that their company's complexity requires them to have a chair who is not the CEO. While this idea is widely accepted in the United Kingdom and the rest of Europe, there is resistance to it in the United States.
However, it seems clear that boards which are meeting almost monthly, and which face such complicated issues, need a leader who has no other obligations within the company.
Some may see this proposal as a reheating of an old campaign from corporate governance reformers. However, I would remind the reader that I was one of the originators of the concept of a lead director, as an alternative to a separate chair for US boards. I am proposing the idea of a separate chair because I truly believe it is relevant for the boards of these complex financial institutions.
In doing so, I recognize that one requirement for its successful implementation is a very clear and explicit definition of the chair's job. It should be to lead the board in its oversight duties. This includes assuring that the board has appropriate membership and committees, the right agendas, sufficient information, and overseeing the board's staff proposed above, as well as presiding at board meetings. What the chair's job must not entail is being a personal "boss" of the CEO, or usurping the board's duties in this regard.
While I do not believe that these changes alone will prevent a repetition of the failures of so many financial institutions, I do believe that, along with improved regulatory oversight, they should vastly improve the odds that boards can be the guardians of their companies that society has the right to expect.

Recipe: Tart Cherry Crumble
Recipes from The Kitchn
I recently spent a few days in northern Michigan, the heart of tart cherry country. I ate the most transcendent piece of cherry pie I'd ever had, and I was reminded of how much I love tart cherries in baking. They are the baker's dream fruit: plump, juicy, bite-sized, and not too sweet at all. I am not a great pie-baker, so I was inspired to bring you instead an adaptation of my favorite crumble recipe: a crisp brown butter topping, like the best cookie you ever ate, spread over a field of tart cherries swimming in their sweet, jammy syrup.
This crumble recipe is a direct adaptation of perhaps my favorite dessert of all time: Marion Burros' plum crumble. I got the recipe from Molly, who got it from Luisa, who read it in Burros' column. As originally written, the crumble topped a dish of prune plums, and it bakes up like the lovechild of a drop biscuit and a sugar cookie. It's a little crumbly, a little soft, and crispy around the edges from the rather astonishing amount of butter used in the recipe.
In my adaptation I use cherries, obviously, but I also tweak the sugar a bit and pull back on the butter. I use browned butter instead of regular melted butter, which gives a toastiness to the crumble topping that works marvelously well with the tart cherries.
It's a simple crumble, but one that has made repeat appearances this past month in my kitchen. As I told you earlier, tart cherries are almost exclusively a frozen product — too delicate to ship fresh, and preserved instead for us to enjoy all fall and winter. And that's a very good thing, because this crumble is not something I want to reserve for summer alone.
Finding Tart Cherries
Even though tart cherries are predominantly frozen, they can be hard to find. Some tips:
- Locally: In some areas, Trader Joe's and Meijer carry frozen tart cherries. Have you seen them elsewhere in your area? Tell us in the comments!
- Ask: If your grocery store doesn't carry them, ask the frozen foods manager. This goes for other things too, besides cherries; if you ask at your store, the ordering manager can usually get what you want.
- Order online: If you're really craving tart cherries and want to get a bunch, then mail-order is your friend. Here's where the cherries pictured above came from:
→ Frozen Tart Montmorency Cherries, Friske Orchards, $39.98 for 10 lbs
Tart Cherry Crumble
Adapted from Marion Burros
1 pound tart cherries, frozen
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons finely chopped crystallized ginger, optional
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Pinch of salt
For the crumble:
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup flour
2/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 large egg, beaten well
Position a rack in the center of the oven, and preheat the oven to 375°F.
Spread the frozen cherries in an ungreased 9x9-inch baking dish, deep pie pan, or similar-sized dish. Toss the cherries with the sugar, flour, ginger, cinnamon, and salt.
Cut the butter into several pieces and melt over low heat in a small saucepan. Raise the heat slightly after it has melted, and cook, swirling frequently, until the butter has turned nutty brown. Remove from the heat.
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the beaten egg and use your hands to combine the dry ingredients and egg. As you work the egg into the flour, it will form small moist crumbs. Sprinkle these over the cherries, then drizzle the browned butter over the topping.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is browned and the cherries are bubbling. Cool for at least 30 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature with vanilla ice cream or unsweetened whipped cream.

Seriously gorgeous crumble, I love the brown butter topping!
My Wegmans doesn't have frozen, but they do have them canned in water, so next time I'm there I will be picking up a few cans.
I canned cherries for the first time this year and always looking for recipes that I can use them for. Does this crumble work only with frozen cherries? Worried that the cherries would overcook since they are not frozen...
@Despino13 no! I think canned cherries would work very well.
The Wegman's near my dad's house in NJ has frozen cherries in bags (not sure if they are "tart") and they are so delicious. We eat them with Fage yogurt and on pancakes. I would love to try them in this crumble.
Ohhhhh...I do love a crumble...and with browned butter? SWOON. Was thinking of making a crumble/crisp with the raspberries I just picked from our bushes, plus some apples from the neighbor's trees. Might have to try this topping (although it would be the 3rd browned butter recipe I had planned for the weekend, oh my...).
since moving to Michigan two years ago I have become obsessed with tart cherries. They are hands down my favorite fruit for pies and crumbles. Love the addition of brown butter here!
This looks divine. I have about 10 freezer bags full of tart cherries from Door County in Wisconsin - so excited to use one for this recipe!
We never get tart cherries down South. Hardly ever even frozen. We get some great peaches and glorious blackberries...but what I wouldn't give for some tart cherries. (Maybe I'll splurge and order some!)
I live in Southeastern Michigan and am lucky enough to get my hands on fresh tart cherries in the summer. This year I made the best tart cherry crisp. Now I can't stop thinking about it. They are a pain to pit though!
I made this last night...was amazing! Did add half tube of almond paste to crumble due to lack of crystalized ginger...
Living in western Michigan we can get fresh cherries from the Traverse Bay Farms area anytime in the summer. Made some great tasting cherry jam and some cherry salsa with them it was so tasty. The secret to really bringing out the tart cherry flavor in any recipe is add an ounce of tart cherry juice concentrate.
This looks fantastic. I love that it uses frozen cherries, so I don't have to worry about finding fresh.
Could I double this recipe and bake it in a 9x13 or larger pan? How should I adjust baking time? Thanks!
I accidentally bought frozen tart cherries in Colorado at Costco (usually I get sweet cherries for smoothies), so I'll be trying this out today!

Leonardo DiCaprio - (Please Read First Post Prior to Posting)
Posted 06 March 2012 - 12:11 PM
Thanks for Jamie/Quentin pix
Who is that girl ? And most importantly, will she be providing us with pix of Leo very, very, soon ???
Thanks for article about "Out of the Furnace"
I wondered whatever happened to that film project. That was the film that long ago Leo was going to star in and Ridley Scott was going to produce. At the time it was titled Low Dweller , but it never came to be.
From the article we can see that Leo & Ridley's production companies will, however, stay on with producer credits.
Funny that Bradley's girlfriend will now play Leo/Slim's character's love interest, as if Leo was still involved she would be his. kinda like, what happened with Inception with his longtime buddy Guillaume's Canet's special lady Marion Cottilard playing his wife

Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet's Titanic Blockbuster Almost Sunk New Drama
New show's producer revealed he thought film had 'said it all'
The producer of ITV's new drama Titanic, Nigel Stafford-Clark has admitted that the 1997 movie blockbuster of the same name, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, almost left plans to capture the disaster in a new drama, languishing at the bottom of the ocean.
Speaking to us at a press conference for the drama, Nigel said: "I felt that James Cameron [the film's director] had pretty much said it all... and then I suddenly thought, actually there is a way of doing this and it hasn't been done before, and it's something that I would be really interested in doing."
The iconicness of the Kate Winslet film almost meant the new Titanic drama didn't happen.
With Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes on board, the new drama aims to be a very different take on the century old story, and the creators have shunned the stars of the film in making the TV series. The pair have high hopes that the new show will capture a part of the story that Cameron's film missed.
Stafford-Clark said "I mean Cameron was basically making a love story and then the most amazing hour long special effects movie. This would be the almost polar opposite of that, this would be a whole lot of stories of different people from different parts of society and they would weave in and out of each other."
The film, which won 11 Oscars and grossed $1.8 billion worldwide, is set for release in 3D next month, with the TV series also debuting in April.
We can't wait to see it!

50 years ago, the Wilderness Act of 1964 protected two wilderness areas in North Carolina.
30 years ago, the North Carolina Wilderness Act designated seven new wilderness areas and protected five more as study areas.
"The question then is who will speak for wilderness? The wild regions of our public lands belong to all of us."
- Dr. Robbie Cox, October 28, 1983
From comments made before the Subcommittee on Public Lands and National Parks of the Committee on the Interior, House of Representatives, U.S. Congress
Wilderness Areas in NC
Learn about the protected areas in North Carolina and start planning your visit.
The NC Wilderness Act of 1984 didn't happen by itself. It took years of hard work by many people.

Kathy Rigsbee of the Foothills Group led an outing in the Linville Gorge Wilderness Area early in May. Here is her recap and some fantastic images from the hike.
In an age when children seem tethered to electronic devices and screens, the Chapter's Wilderness Committee is hoping to put something young people's hands, a bandanna. The committee received a grant to produce up to 600 bandannas to distribute to children across the state. If you are wondering how a bandanna can help connect children to wilderness, well, then you likely haven't seen the design yet.

CHICAGO | Your White Sox are struggling, and your manager should react.
Should he call a team meeting and tear into the ground-ball bobblers, the on-base-percentage slackers and the fat-pitch servers? Turn over a food spread in classic burning-posterior manager style?
"I think the way he's doing it is exactly how it should be handled," Sox closer Addison Reed said Friday of Robin Ventura. "Whether we win 10 games in a row or lose 10 games in a row, he's even-keel.
"If you come into the locker room after one of the games … they would have no idea if we won or lost. There's no need when we're losing to panic or when we win to get too high. There's always going to be a game the next day."
Perhaps this was the logic of hiring the California-cool Ventura in the first place. Maybe a manager can't hit, pitch and field for a bunch of under-producers. But he surely could make matters worse by mishandling players and dragging down the clubhouse with an intemperate attitude.
Ventura calmed the waters after the daily sideshows and distractions of the Ozzie Guillen home stretch. But in offering up steadiness, he also displayed inexperience. The Sox showed increasing cracks down the stretch in 2012. Ventura responded by staying the course with an unaltered lineup.
Having learned his lesson and with his hands forced by injuries and slumps, Ventura now adds lineup variety to his lower-decibel approach. He even tried left-handed contact hitter Conor Gillaspie in the cleanup position the other day.
On Friday he got Dayan Viciedo back to play left field. Nothing like a re-activated power bat returning to slap a two-run double amid a four-run fourth that wasn't enough in a 7-5 Sox loss to the Los Angeles Angels. Viciedo's presence was one less negative angle for a manager to chew on.
Recovering from a hamate-bone fracture, Gordon Beckham should be available in a few weeks. John Danks is closing in on a return to the Sox rotation.
And if the Sox don't start winning by then, well, Ventura won't tear his hair out.
"Everybody's an individual," he said. "I just don't want guys getting too low or getting really too high, where you take things for granted."
If there are manager-player conversations, they'd be about the quality of effort, not necessarily the final stats.
"If he saw people not working," said Sox captain Paul Konerko, "not getting after it, not running balls out, not grinding through at-bats, not grinding through defense, Robin would be first guy to call that guy in and have a meeting and say, 'Hey, let's forget about results; we need to see you getting after it.'"
"I do understand there are going to be errors made," Ventura said. "It just needs to get better. You don't want it to be a contagious that happens. It's about effort and being prepared and going out there. I don't want them going out there being tentative, either."
Konerko is not a big backer of team meetings, which almost never spark a club to a winning streak.
That wouldn't be Ventura's style, anyway. If the Sox improve, they'll have to do it via the middle ground emotionally, just like the boss.

Wednesday and Thursday's divergent action on Pixelworks (PXLW) (stock was way up) and Himax (HIMX – stock was way down) shows why we categorized PXLW as a "great find" and HIMX as "wait time". PXLW is still being discovered (the definition of a "great find").
Meanwhile, HIMX is now known by most investors who care about these sorts of companies. Thus, the stock has to rely on new catalysts (being discovered is no longer in play). However, the next catalyst(s) could very well be negative. For example, HIMX's biggest shareholder is looking to sell most (or all) of its stake. A share-divestiture of that magnitude can be a very negative catalyst, as it skews the stock's supply/demand ratio.
Is Himax Still In Glass?
To add insult to injury, a teardown of Google Glass made no mention of HIMX. As Bones would say, "Damn it, Jim…I'm a stock analyst, not an engineer". Luckily, we know one of the best — Karl Guttag, our favored expert on this topic. He had this to say about HIMX and the teardown:
The teardown clearly shows an LCOS panel (most likely Himax). I haven't seen anyone finding an identifying mark to confirm Himax. The number on the glass is probably a quality control identifier (such as the position of the device on the wafer)."
In other words, HIMX wasn't mentioned in the teardown because there was no clear identification. However, as one of the top authorities on the subject, Karl continues to believe the microdisplay is indeed Himax's.
Moral of the Story
These events are illustrative of how our categorization system meshes with the dynamics of risk and reward. Remember, conceptually, if a stock at $10 can go to $30, risk and reward become equal at $20. For a stock that is "poised to triple", that theoretical equilibrium point is reached once the stock doubles. Indeed, HIMX did double…and it has been bouncing up and down ever since (mostly down of late).
Conversely, PXLW has yet to double and is consequently showing bias to the upside despite a lack of any new news. Thus, we can only conclude that it is still going up because it is still in the process of being discovered. Once all of this gets priced in (for HIMX and PXLW), we'll get an update on how the companies (and stocks) are looking.

text: In a couple of weeks we're having a big family luau. His mother has been planning this family party for over a year now. Everyone has been asked to bring a dish or two to pass and to try and keep it Hawaiian based. So, anyone know a good recipe that would go with the feel of luau? I try stay away from meat based dishes when I have to bring a dish to pass. I usually stick to desserts, but sometimes bring a side dish, but I am open to any suggestions. Also looking for any good Hawaiian themed alcoholic drinks. I'm thinking of Wopatoola (sp?), but I dont have a recipe for that.

Okay, I know that anecdotes are pretty much useless in situations like this one, but you sound like you're feeling exactly, eerily like I did when I was taking Paxil: it almost totally removed my ability to deal with trivial annoyances without completely losing my shit. I regularly punched walls, cried, scared my girlfriend, broke stuff, etc. I tore the screen clear off of an obstinate (and largely blameless) laptop. Luckily, it was fairly easy to correlate the change in my temper to a change in my medication, and once I was off Paxil I was back to having something like a short-normal fuse within a month.posted by jessamyn at 5:44 AM on December 16, 2008
Notably, it wasn't a failure of anger management, low blood sugar, a "trigger event," poor coping strategies, hormones, lack of meditation, etc., which seem to be the foci of most of your answers, though I suppose I could have handled it in those ways if switching my medications up wasn't an option. It was, I'm convinced, something that was different about how my mind worked on Paxil (Too much serotonin? Your guess is probably as good as mine), and maybe a little of the underlying depression.
Of course, be skeptical of medical advice from strangers on the internet, anecdata, etc., and talk to whoever's helping to manage your medication if you decide to change anything—I stopped taking Paxil the way that you aren't supposed to stop taking SSRIs (cold turkey) and was horribly worse for about a week, doing stuff like kicking down my own door because I'd misplaced the key.
Anyway, I hope you work this out; good luck.

Find Your New Career Now
- Tuesday, May 21, 2013
Are you ready to find a new career, but aren't sure where to start? The number of available career options can be overwhelming, so using the right resources and career planning strategies is essential. Here are some tools and tips for getting started:
1. Use the most recent edition of the Occupational Outlook Handbook (OOH) to learn about careers of interest. The OOH gives detailed information about hundreds of types of jobs such as the training and education needed; earnings; expected job prospects; what workers do on the job; working conditions, and more. You can also learn about the job market in each state and gain job search tips.
You can learn inside information about familiar jobs such as teacher, lawyer and nurse as well as find out about jobs you may know less about such as computer support specialists, market and survey researchers, instructional coordinators, fashion designers, technical writers, television, video, and motion picture camera operators and editors, physician assistants, athletic trainers, nuclear medicine technologists and hundreds more!
2. Develop a game plan for getting the career information you need to make the right career decision. Avoid making costly mistakes (like investing time and money in completing the education for the wrong career), by getting the right information about your God-given design and the right information about the world of work before you go back to school or take a job.
You can get an overview of key steps in our article How to Explore Careers That Fit Your Design and a "toolbox" of strategies for identifying and testing career options in our book, Live Your Calling: A Practical Guide to Finding and Fulfilling Your Mission in Life.
3. Take a fresh look at your God-given design if you can't name: the skills you most enjoy using; the interests you want to utilize in work; the personality traits you want to use and those you want to avoid using; the core work values that are important to you; and the work roles that you prefer.
A clear, in-depth understanding of your design is essential for identifying the best career options and making a wise decision about which to choose. If you have only a general sense of your design (such as "I want to help people" or "I want to be creative in my work"), you will most likely have difficulty exploring career options and making a good decision as there are hundreds of jobs in which one can help others or be creative. You need a much more specific understanding of the "puzzle pieces" and the themes in your design. Live Your Calling includes six self-assessments for understanding more about your design. If you are serious about finding a career option that fits your design, we invite you to look into our Professional Career Testing Package or Live Your Calling Career Program. Schedule your free career services consultation today to get started!

stewardship for these data sets and to expand and improve access to them in order to fully realize their social, economic, and environmental benefits. Unfortunately, the resources available for data management activities at NOAA have remained relatively flat in recent years. In addition, NOAA has yet to implement a coordinated, enterprise-wide plan that explicitly spells out the data management responsibilities of various program elements, or how these activities will mesh with data management activities at other agencies and international groups to ensure the long-term preservation and enhancement of all important environmental data sets, as well as access to these data by a broad range of users.
NOAA deserves praise for the steps that it has already taken to evaluate and improve its data management activities, such as the report Integrating the Pieces: Assessment of NOAA's Environmental Data and Information Management (NOAA, 2006a), the formation of the Data Archiving and Access Requirements (DAAR) Working Group, and the conceptual plan for the Global Earth Observation Integrated Data Environment (GEO-IDE) (NOAA, 2006b), all of which are discussed in Chapter 2. These preliminary steps will need to be connected and extended by an effective, integrated, enterprise-wide data management plan, and accompanied by broad support and sustained funding, in order to meet the formidable challenge posed by anticipated increases in data archive volumes and data access demands and to ensure that NOAA's environmental data continue to be available to meet societal needs. This report provides the foundation for such a plan by describing the principles that underlie effective environmental data management and providing guidelines and examples that explain and illustrate how these principles could and should be implemented within an integrated data management framework.
It should be emphasized from the outset that the sheer volume and diversity of NOAA's environmental data holdings, coupled with the difficulty in predicting the future value of these data, demands that a structured but flexible process be used when making data management decisions. For example, as discussed in later chapters, the decision to upgrade legacy systems to meet the demands of increasing data volume and complexity should be made on a case-by-case basis, with input from the broad user community. NOAA's end-to-end data management process, which includes acquiring, processing, storing, maintaining, updating, and providing access to data, represents an interconnected series of activities involving a large number of different people and systems and serving a broad range of stakeholders. Hence, in addition to providing principles related to the types of scientific data that should be archived and how to provide the best possible access to these data, this report addresses some of the key organizational, management, and planning activities, including inter- and intra-agency relationships, that are critical for making effective

Hmm I foresee this happening a lot then:
Guildy A rolls - 5
Pug rolls - 55
Guildy B (who wasn't going to roll until he saw Guildy A lose) rolls - 95
Master Looter gives Guildy B the loot
Guild B secretly gives Guildy A the loot he should have lost.
Pug loses hardcore.
DesertFox82 said...
Guildy B could just as easily roll a 50, and still lose. And as Michael says, I would assume trades will continue to be announced. If this becomes the new trend, at least the Guildwatch column will get more fodder.
But here's what happens now:
Guildie A rolls a 5
Pug rolls a 55
RL & Master Looter (in the same guild with guildie A) "Oh crap! I gave it to the wrong guy! Well, we'll just open a ticket and transfer it..."
And the Pug waits until the end of time waiting for the fictitious ticket to be resolved...
Yeah this new system is open to its own forms of abuse. The question is whether the NEW abuses will be worse than the OLD abuses -- and I suspect they won't.
Graham Ribchester said...
rudemented2, this already happens under the current system, only it takes a ticket to do it.
rudemented2 said...
@Graham Ribchester
Not nearly to the scale that this change will allow for. If you were to do this on a daily basis like this change allows you do to...you would get flagged by the GM's and eventually refused since it is clear you are up to no good and causing them loads of unnecessary work.

Rules of Thumb for Social Learning
AbstractThis paper studies agents who consider the experiences of their neighbors in deciding which of two technologies to use. The authors analyze two learning environments, one in which the same technology is optimal for all players and another in which each technology is better for some of them. In both environments, players use exogenously specified rules of thumb that ignore historical data but may incorporate a tendency to use the more popular technology. In some cases, these naive rules can lead to fairly efficient decisions in the long run but adjustment can be slow when a superior technology is first introduced.

A new concept that entered the Peugeot Design Contest is the OMNI Concept created by Darko Markovic. The Peugeot OMNI is a strange and unusual car that uses the Omni wheel concept of the great designer from past to make sure that there are no parking problems in today's cities. Thanks to the Omni wheel the car can spin and turn around at an instant making it easy to maneuver.
The Omni wheel idea belongs to the Swedish automobile designer Bengt Ilon, who created in 1973 a wheel that could move in any direction at a given time. His idea was to attach many roller-wheels around the rim of the main wheel to enable the wheel to spin in any direction and change angles at an instant. The rollers were oriented at an angle of 45 degrees with the wheels axis of rotation.
The Peugeot OMNI is an awesome concept that tries to show us the car of tomorrow.

Percentage of Americans who think Obama is Muslim unchanged
Do you believe the myth that U.S. President Barack Obama is a Muslim?
If you do, you're not alone. A March survey by the Pew Research Center found that 11 percent of the American adults it polled thought Obama was a Muslim. This is little changed from the 12 percent who expressed the same belief in October during the heat of the White House race.
The most recent survey, conducted from March 9-12, polled just over 1,300 American adults nationwide and asked them "Do you happen to know what Barack Obama's religion is? Is he Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, atheist, agnostic or something else?"
White evangelical Protestants — a key component of the Republican Party base — are more likely than anyone else to believe this persistent falsehood. Pew said 19 percent of respondents from this group said they thought Obama was a Muslim.
The belief that he is a Muslim has had wide currency in right-wing circles and the double-digit percentages suggest it is not restricted to an isolated fringe.
For the record, Obama, whose middle name is Hussein, is a Christian and maintains his faith informs much of his outlook and policy.
(Photo: U.S. President Barack Obama smiles during a news conference at the G20 Summit in London, April 2, 2009. REUTERS/Jason Reed (BRITAIN)
this is just a representation of how close minded our society has become. these are the same people who who look to bafoons like Bill O'reily, Sean hannity and Glenn Beck as their source of knowledge for everything. I think president Obama needs to put even more money towards our education so we don't have this epedemic spreading thru out our society.
no, sidney: mr obama and his sycophantic press need to be more transparent, especially vis-a-vis his birth certificate. mr obama's evasiveness, islamic upbringing, and circle of friends including his racist pastor (how do you call such rantings christian?!) also lead persons like myself, who have no dealings with right-wing talk radio screed and pseudojournalistic scribble, to doubt virtually everything that comes out of mr obama's mouth. as for education, i think mr obama has spent enough of my money bailing out his friends, and do not wish to lose more of my cash for a failed educational system. in fine, a little transparency goes a long way

Making The Most Of A Twitter Chat
Huddle, huddle, roil and muddle
I remember the first Twitter chat I attended. It was #journchat, one of the first, if not the first, Twitter chats created.
Image: Maria Johnson via Flickr, CC 2.0
It drove me nuts.
The stream moved so quickly, it was really hard to keep up with what was going on. And if there's one thing I pride myself on, it's being able to keep up with several things at once or, as the jargonites would put it, "multi-task."
And if I'm being honest, some of the tweets people shared seemed so puerile, I said to myself, "Do they really work in public relations?"
DMC10, Twitter and The Blue Ball
Earlier today I presented at the 2010 Digital Media Conference, put on by PotomacTechWire and DigitalMediaWire.
My panel focused on "Twitter and the Media," and included luminaries such as Rohit Bhargava, Jodi Gersh, Kevin Dando and Chris McGill. If ever a panel made me feel smart…
It was a fun afternoon, for which I prepared by downing copious amounts of the delicious tomato/basil soup on hand. And I hope those who attended got something out of it too.
For me, it was great not just to meet/reconnect with my fellow panelists, but to see folks like Mike Smith, Liz Shea, Ashley Houghton and Stephanie Wonderlick.
We talked, as you might imagine, about various aspects of Twitter. And while I enjoyed all the comments, something Chris said particularly struck home: Continue reading »

NEW YORK (AP) — It was Jon Voight's portrayal of male prostitute Joe Buck in the 1969 film "Midnight Cowboy" that put him on the path to becoming an acting legend. Now he says he was paid a pittance for the part.
Voight says that he wanted the role so badly he told his agent, "I said, 'Tell them I'll do this part for nothing.'" The actor says, to his surprise, "They took me at my word and they gave me minimum for 'Midnight Cowboy.'"
Bing: Jon Voight on 'Ray Donovan'
Voight spoke Wednesday as he was promoting his film "Getaway," which co-stars Ethan Hawke and Selena Gomez and opens Aug. 30, and "Ray Donovan," the Showtime series he appears in opposite Liev Schreiber.
The Oscar- and Emmy-winning actor says the studio, United Artists, "even sent me a $14.73 coffee shop charge," for meals on his last day of shooting for the film in Texas. Voight also says he persuaded co-star Dustin Hoffman to try out for the role of Enrico "Ratso" Rizzo after the two became friends doing an off-Broadway show and that they auditioned for the movie together.
Also: 'Getaway' exclusive movie interview
Looking back, Voight says, "It was the worst." But Voight says he had no regrets. "I knew what it meant. It was going to give me a career, and I was right."

A reverse mortgage is a loan product that is available for homeowners over the age of 62 (eligibility ages may vary, depending on the lending institution). The collateral for the loan is the home's equity, and the loan usually doesn't need to be repaid until the homeowners sell the home, the last surviving homeowner leaves the residence, or until the homeowners pass away.
When the last surviving homeowner permanently moves away from the home, or when the homeowners sell the home or pass away, the estate has approximately six months to repay the reverse mortgage balance. This is usually done by selling the home; remaining equity can be left to heirs or inherited by the estate. What must be emphasized is that debt as a result of the home selling for less than the balance of the reverse mortgage is NOT transferred to the estate or heirs.

In order to fully understand the reverse mortgage and how do they work it is important to consider the reverse mortgage pros and cons.
While the eligibility requirements may be different at other financial institutions such as banks and credit unions, most places that offer a reverse mortgage product have the same requirements as those for the Federal Housing Administration's HECM (Home Equity Conversion Mortgage) reverse mortgage.
To be considered eligible for HECM reverse mortgage, homeowners must be at least 62 years of age. The home must be owned free and clear, or any liens that exist must be satisfied and eliminated with the reverse mortgage proceeds. Existing mortgage balance, if there is any, can be paid off at the time the reverse mortgage loan closes.
As far as credit checks are concerned, for reverse mortgages there are no credit score requirements; this is because the home is collateral and there are limits as to how much a homeowner can borrow with a reverse loan. An applicant cannot be delinquent on a federal debt while applying for a reverse mortgage.
If the applicant however is in a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy while applying for an HECM reverse mortgage, he or she must have proof that payments have been made on time for at least twelve months.
For even more information we suggest you review the following resources.

- May need a new favorite steakhousejbonesVIPDined on 9/27/2014I've always been a HUGE BV fan. Great food, nice restaurant...a place my husband and I have had celebrations over the years. But going there over this past weekend was not the same. The service was spotty and mediocre and the charm from before just wasn't there. It didn't help that they sat us by a utility closet that servers were going in and out of during our meal. For parents with a small child with date nights that are few and far between, I'm sad to say that I don't think BV's will stay on our short list of places to go. Overall our steaks were good, but appetizer was overcooked and not that warm (calamari).Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/27/2014The porterhouse was to die for! Already planning a return...with guests!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Basically what you'd expectTK2013Dined on 9/27/2014If you're looking for a high-end steak house experience, that's what you'll get here. We had a fine dinner, with good steaks. One of our steaks came out way overcooked at first, but they graciously and very quickly brought out a new one that was done much, much better. There were also some mysterious extra charges on our bill, which they graciously and quickly removed when we pointed that out. Other than the couple service slip-ups, we had an enjoyable steak meal and a nice anniversary dinner.Special Features:
- the food was just okfoodfamilyfriendsDined on 9/27/2014The fried calamari and bread was great. So I know the main course was going to be good too. Boy was I wrong the steak was like eating a tennis shoe. The lamb chop was also overcooked. We both order medium rare. I was a Lil afraid about eating here after reading other reviews on Google and yelp.Special Features:
- swedeDined on 9/26/2014outstanding service and food. atmosphere was as anticipated. Waiter was attentive and a delight.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Do not goAferreiranetoVIPDined on 9/25/2014The meat was completly burnt. And the worst was tthat the waiter said that it was normal. All plaits come out of the kitchen like this he said.
- AwesomeBD237Dined on 9/20/2014This is my favorite restaurant for when I travel. I eat at this restaurant every time there's one within 30 miles of where I am traveling. I love it!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- New Favorite RestaurantActorMcKinnonDined on 9/12/2014After my very first experience at Bobby Vans Steak House, I must say it is now my new favorite restaurant. Best crab cakes I've tasted in a very long time. Actually, everything I've ordered from the entree, to the sides, to the desert was superb. Great service, great wine, and very romantic.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food bad serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 9/12/2014Our food was outstanding and normally I would suggest such a restaurant to any of my friends but in this case, due to the service, I will not. We were not notified of any specials (tables around us were) and when the waiter finally did come to us he asked if we were ready to order everything at once (if I wanted that kind of service I could have gone to Outback and got better service for half the price).
- Good place for business dinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 9/10/2014Bobby Van's was a great place for our business dinner. Food was excellent as was the service. Noise level could have been better but was not a negative factor in the overall experience. Definitely the right spot for our meeting.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/6/2014the food was very good. the servers were attentive. the overall experience was one that we enjoyed. would recommend to friends.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Even with kids it was awesomeMDTwinsMamaDined on 9/6/2014We went for a birthday and even with my children the staff were patient, attentive, and made us feel like we were welcomed. I recommend going early if you do take kids (and that they be at least over 7) because most of the other guests are couples and they expect a quiet dining experience. The food was good and the service was the absolute BEST.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always consistently good! WonderfulDHOUZEDined on 9/5/2014My favorite Bobby Van's. I have gone to several Bobby Vans in the area. This is by far the one that I return to again and again. From the time I enter the restaurant, I feel welcomed and it continues throughout my dining experience. ANOTHER THING Hats off to the HOST!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent NightHalifax64Dined on 9/2/2014If you are looking for an outstanding restaurant with exceptional service and food, this is it. A true example of "you get what you pay for". Not a cheap night but you wont be disappointed that the splurge was well worth it and you leave feeling well taken care of and completely satisfied.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- BeautifulRaymondDined on 9/2/2014This was my first time at this restaurant and will not be my last. If was the perfect place for my anniversary.Special Features:
- LeighleeDined on 8/30/2014The steak I had was one of the best (if not the best) I have ever had. That includes trips to Ruth Chris. I shared the Porterhouse for 2.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food was excellent, service was notseascapeDined on 8/30/2014Bobby Vans is ont he expensive side, but you can get better service at restaurants that are far less expensive. After being seated, we were ignored for 15 mins. One of our menus was dirty. Our server never told us the special and when we requested one, he was not sure it was available to us. Since we waited so long for our orders to be taken, we requested more bread which never came. The server who brought our food could not tell us which sauce belong to what meal. No one came to remove our dirty plates.Special Features:
- Nearly Perfectcms20024Dined on 8/30/2014We got a nice table for two outside front and so we were able to take in the beautiful August weather. Food was generally very good, just one hiccup with mac and cheese side that was flavorless. Calamari app, Steak entre and Shrimp Scampi entre all knocked it out of the park.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great place to eat.OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/30/2014As always the food was great and the waiter Rodney was outstanding. We took out kids this time and the kid menu was great and as was the food. Would recommend this place to anyone.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- lack of tastesAbertcinoDined on 8/30/2014Very disappointed, for 58$ a piece of veal chop, my 15 yrs old son could done a better job. absolutely Has no taste. Not even worth to try with groupon
- Food looks goodFirstimerVIPDined on 8/30/2014I have dined at the restaurant twice and although the food looked delicious, and the temperature was perfect, it was very under seasoned. Sautéed spinach and Mac and cheese were very bland. My fiancé had the rib eye and it too was bland. We were also seated at the last booth where the servers were standing and could hear the chef calling out orders. This didn't make for a romantic dining experience at all!Special Features:
- Think TwiceSadFoodieDined on 8/30/2014It was huge disappointment dining experienced. This over-rated restaurant is supposed to be high quality/rating restaurant but instead they have inexperienced service wait staff, and inexperienced cook (yep cook instead of Chef). We started w/a bottle of champaign which the waiter almost overflow pouring it. The sweet chilli calamari appetizer is good. We ordered well-done lamb chops and a med-rare filet mignon as main course. The lamb chopped was burned, charred and drier than jerk meat, and the Filet was cooked to medium well instead of med-rare with zero seasoning. It was really sad experience for a foodie like myself. The decor is really outdated and the booths can use an upgrade or maintenance.
- Bobby Van's SteakhousemmmvaDined on 8/30/2014This the first time I've dined for dinner at BV's and we were one of the first diners at 5:30 PM (could be why it was so quiet). Have often eaten lunch there in a group. The restaurant is cozy and wait staff provides excellent service - very attentive. Love their Kir Royal cocktails. :-) Food was tasty but was "just a little" disappointed in the petit fillet - not as tender as it should be for $39. We ordered our fillets medium rare and medium. Side dishes were delicious as was the blue cheese wedge salad. Cappuccino was very good and shared a chocolate brownie dessert (recommended by waiter). A little too dry for me but dining partner liked it. I would definitely return for lunch and do dinner again but order a different cut of meat.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not ExcellentOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/30/2014Why, no fault of Bobby Van's, but while I sat outside enjoying my dinner on a lovely Saturday night, I was attacted by two bees---that spoiled the whole thing and caused me to have to take a doggie bag, no desert, and finish my dinner at homeI would recommend this to a friend.
- Good ExperienceFranciscoVIPDined on 8/29/2014I went for dinner on a Friday evening and was seated outside (to take advantage of the beautiful evening). All of the food tasted good and was well prepared. My only inkling of a complaint was that my wine wasn't replenished in a timely fashion.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- never againNeveragainDined on 8/29/2014Service was lousy and slow. What I order came out completely wrongSpecial Features:
- OverratedOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/29/2014Living off of a legacy name. WAY overpriced for the quality of food they put out. District Chophouse, Rays the Steaks and Medium Rare all have better food and are all better priced.
- Bobby Vans is okayMDdinerVIPDined on 8/29/2014The menu offered a lot of options. Be prepared it is quite pricey; not sure if it's worth it.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 8/28/2014Stuffy & overpriced. The service was dismissive. Our server seemed annoyed we were there, probably because we had a livingsocial deal. No problem, we won't be backSpecial Features:
- Great alwaysJeriDined on 8/28/2014The food was very good. We asked for the steak medium well and it came out perfect!!! The staff was very attentive. We will be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food HORRIBLE serviceGordonGekkoVIPDined on 8/28/2014I've been here multiple times and assumed the recent third visit in a row would be a charm but that wasn't the case. I thought the prior two visits for dinner were a bad luck of the draw of servers but after this lunch visit and similar experience, there is clearly a customer service problem here. Waitstaff takes FOREVER to show up to take orders and then they literally do not come back! You have to flag down other servers to get attention, have drinks refilled, or order dessert. I flagged down one lady who didn't understand english and couldn't help me at all! I saw a table of 5 got up and leave after what seemed like an eternity for drinks to arrive. Service should be on par with the menu at a fine dining establishment. It's not here.Special Features:
- Noisy NeighborsJaywestVIPDined on 8/25/2014Dinner itself was good, but ruined by loud, crass classless table next to me. Some people don't know no better, you know what I'm sayin'. A damn shame.Special Features:
- good restaurant, steep pricingworldtravellerDined on 8/23/2014Great place, good food (not exceptional) and lovely to eat outside on a warm evening in August. Two persons, one (shared) starter, great meat and a side dish for $200 isn't your average hamburger joint, but then again, you're in the capital of the world having dinner, so what do you expect? The salad is ready for improvement.Special Features:
- EnjoyableOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/23/2014We went for the first time for my husband's birthday. The food was excellent as well as the service. We would definitely recommend Bobby Van's to our friends.Special Features:
- Just Great!!OpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 8/22/2014We were seated promptly and told that our waiter would take our order shortly. Well, "shortly" turned into such a long wait, that we asked someone to fetch the waiter. The waiter apologized, and the worst part of the evening was over. After that, the service was prompt and the food was great. The escargot appetizer "swims" in melted butter, but that's not a problem for me. I used bread to soak up the sauce. My petite filet was perfectly cooked. It was served with blue cheese and a sauce on the side. The sauce was delicious and enhanced the flavor of the meat (although the meat was fine on its own). My (very picky) husband had the lamb chops, and really enjoyed them. We didn't have room for dessert. Hopefully, we will next time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Bobby Van DCHonestReviewerDined on 8/21/2014Bit pricey but great food and service. Had a $50 groupon for $100 worth of food. Ordered an appetizer(mussels), 1 petite steak and 1 rib eye, 2 sides, a soda and a wine. Total including groupon was about $160 not including tip. Without the groupon we would not have enjoyed this restaurant.I would recommend this to a friend.
- MooseDined on 8/19/2014Great steaks. Had the fish tacos, they were splendid. The creamed spinach is the best in the south. Harry's salad, always. The location is the best in DC.Special Features:
- My husband is happyvicluvswineDined on 8/19/2014Went here for my husband's birthday cause he loves steak and thinks I can't cook them the way he likes (bloody). So I made the reservation and surprised him after work. Although they sat us a little close to the door the noise level wasn't bad at all, you didn't feel like you had to whisper but it was quite enough that if you wanted to have a quiet romantic conversation you could. I had the chicken and penne, the chicken was dry but overall a okay meal. My husband of course had the steak, and boy was he impressed, I don't think I have ever seen him smile that much. He cut into it and it was cooked to his specifications. He loved it, I they are a steakhouse and they do steak to perfection. I would recommend it for any steak loverSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Perfect EveningOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/16/2014Maybe it was the company we were eating dinner with, maybe it was the GREAT waiter we had or maybe it was the perfect weather out on the patio.....we had a perfect evening.Special Features:
