[0001] This application claims priority of U.S. provisional patent application Ser. No. 60/197,642 filed Apr. 17, 2000, the entire content of which is incorporated herein by reference.
[0002] The present invention relates generally to a system and method for planning and organizing meetings. More particularly, the present invention provides a fully integrated, comprehensive model for the automated planning, development, and production of meetings and events via a communications network.
[0003] The current art provides for meeting planning via manual processes. For example, one or more persons agree to meet, send out meeting notices via email or interoffice mail, and proceed to find a location in which to conduct the meeting. For proposed meetings comprising relatively small groups of persons, the situation may require extra effort to seek and find accommodations willing to cater to a small group. Further, the scope of a small meeting may not justify a budget for coordination services, leading to confusion and error in the planning and execution of the meeting.
[0004] Conversely, meeting planning for relatively large audiences generally requires, at a minimum, the services of a coordinator to research the meeting objective; gather information pertinent to the proposed meeting; locate premises capable of hosting the proposed meeting; schedule the conference area, hotel accommodations, speakers, and flights; notify the attendees of the arrangements; and complete a multitude of detailed tasks related to the meeting at hand.
[0005] As can be seen, the methods of the current art require intensive manual labor, protracted efforts, and cumbersome coordination activities, and thus may fall prey to human error or miscommunication. Further, the costs associated with manual planning often result in expenditures well over those budgeted for the meeting itself or for the coordination and management of the meeting.
[0006] The present invention addresses the issues found in the current art by providing an efficient, end-to-end meeting system and method in an online format via a communications network such as the Internet. The online meeting planning program provides the necessary tools for a person coordinating the meeting (hereafter, coordinator) to develop and produce a successful event, including meetings for groups of fewer than one hundred persons.
[0007] Typically, the meeting planning program functions in a communications environment such as the Internet, wherein one or more persons desiring meeting planning services (hereafter, clients) access the meeting planning site via a web server on the World Wide Web. The site architecture associated with the meeting planning provides a globally accessible, easily navigable forum for planning, and permits private label, co-branding, and personalization for all services. Further, the site content of the meeting planning program adheres to standardized style guidelines and a considered writing approach to assure consistent tone, terminology, branding, and spelling therethrough.
[0008] Other site attributes include predetermined style considerations based on the tone of the content; for example, a brief yet friendly professional style designed to instill trust in the guidance and resources found in the site content, as well as promote the inherent time-savings and cost-savings associated with use of the site.
[0009] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a system is provided for online meeting planning for a plurality of clients. The system comprises a client interface, a database, and a meeting management module. The client interface mediates communications between one or more clients and the system itself; the meeting management module prompts for and collects data pertinent to a proposed meeting, as well as analyzes the collected data and executes arrangements for the meeting; and the database (or other storage means) houses the collected data.
[0010] The foregoing examples represent several of the embodiments of the present invention; however, other embodiments, objects, advantages, and benefits of the present invention also exist.

[0018]FIG. 8 is a schematic illustration of the information architecture for an attendee site.
[0019] In accordance with the present invention, there is provided in one embodiment, for example, a model whereby the coordinator or client uses a personal computer (PC) to access the meeting planning services via a website, containing for example, a web server, an application server, a database, and one or more Application Service Providers (ASPs).
[0020] Specifically, when the coordinator initially decides to utilize the present system to plan a meeting, the coordinator accesses the website of the meeting planning services provider, and provides specific criteria and data pertinent to the proposed meeting. The data includes, for example, the number of anticipated attendees, the date, the subject matter of the meeting, etc. The data may be provided to the system via a client interface, such as browser software on the PC in conjunction with web pages on the web server. The system collects the provided data, whereafter one or more software programs such as a meeting management module analyze it, and execute various steps to schedule a meeting or accomplish other tasks according to the criteria of the coordinator.
[0021] According to an embodiment of the present invention, some or all of the clients' data is stored in a database or similar functional structure, whereafter the data may be searched and analyzed in furtherance of multiple meeting and meeting planning objectives.
[0022] Referring now to the drawings wherein like numbers are used to denote like items throughout, FIG. 1 shows an online embodiment of the present invention utilized by a client 10, the embodiment comprising a client interface 12 implemented on a web server, a meeting management module 14 implemented on an application server, and a database 16 acting as a storage repository. Alternatively, the meeting management module software may span one or ASPs, 18 as well as the application server 14.
[0023] One or more clients 10 access the client interface 12 via one or more communication means, including wired or wireless links, computer terminals, wired, mobile, or wireless telephones, etc. The client interface 12 is typically a web server having, for example, standard Web server software such as Apache to serve static HTML communications; e.g., an HTML page with fixed content designed to remain unchanged in response to a client's request, received via browser software.
[0024] The web server architecture incorporates a scalable design having one or multiple platforms; e.g., Solaris or Microsoft. The website server includes security components such as firewalls and routers to prevent intrusion and ensure client data integrity. The website-related security components include predetermined tiered and limited access to the computer systems and components associated with the website to prevent system and data misuse.
[0025] The client interface communicates directly with a meeting management module 14 implemented on an application server. The meeting management module utilizes various categories of tools to provide various combinations of meeting planning services to clients 10. For example, the services may include registration, research, online requests for proposals, meeting management, report generation, and so forth, as discussed in detail hereafter.
[0026] The tools include third-party content providers, add-on software tools, and one or more ASPs, 18. The content providers furnish static content without any processing functionality; the add-on software tools provide site usage analysis software functionality; and the ASPs provide processing functionality via their own servers. The meeting management module communicates with the ASP servers using any common data interchange format such as XML.
[0027] In certain embodiments, the communications of the client 10 bypasses the client interface 12 to communicate directly with one or more of the ASPs, as depicted by phantom lines A and B. The communication links A and B include any topography or combination of communications, for example, wired networks and wireless communication via the electromagnetic energy spectrum. Tools may be leased, bought, or developed according to predetermined plan, or otherwise acquired.
[0028] Once the client 10 accesses the client interface 12, the client utilizes a browser or similar tool to view one or more web pages from the client interface 12. The client interface 12 communicates with the meeting management module 14 to provide the client 10 with a variety of static or dynamic content. For example, the meeting management module 14 generates a request or query for information. The meeting management module passes the request to the client interface 12 which interacts with the client's browser to display the request on the screen of the client's PC. The client 10 responds to the request by entering data via an input device such as the keyboard. The client interface 12 mediates the data flow by passing the entered data from the client's PC to the meeting management module 14 for processing or storage. In one embodiment, the meeting management module comprises, for example, one or more software programs and incorporates various components 14 a to provide various meeting planning services to the client base. The meeting management module 14 cooperates with an associated storage repository such as the database 16, to store data related to clients, suppliers, and meeting plans. It is contemplated that the database 16 includes any means or structure to carry out the storage functionality of the present invention.
[0029] Turning now to FIG. 2, there is shown a schematic diagram of various system components. The components provide basic or additional functionality to the meeting planning system, and may exist as independent system modules, such as software programs, or may be fully integrated with one or more modules, such as the meeting management module. The components include a registration module 20; a research module 22; an online Request For Proposal (RFP) module 24; a meeting creation module 26; a report generator module 28; an event planning module 30; an attendee management module 32; a marketplace module 34; a community module 36; a customization module 38; and a services module 40.
[0030] The registration module 20 prompts for and collects client-related data, then generates a login and password based on the same. The login and password may be used to gain access to the site, create a client account, update a profile record for the client, and navigate the site to view or select areas or options of interest.
[0031] The research module 22 manages information pertaining to meeting and event products by providing search functions and relevant hyperlinks to other resources for the coordinator. The research resource tool retrieves information pertaining to, for example, vendors, meeting themes and agendas, special rate opportunities, as well as property photos and virtual tours. Scalable floor plans assist the coordinator in reserving space, while information is available to complete proposals, contracts, and obtain procurement services.
[0032] The online RFP module 24 provides the functionality for the coordinator to develop, complete, and submit an online RFP. The RFP module includes the flexibility to produce an RFP based on one or more client-supplied parameters. The parameters include financial, geographical, recreational, and theme variables. Additionally, the software tracks the status of all submitted RFPs and responses thereto, and provides access to the same.
[0033] The meeting creation module 26 delivers the functions and features necessary to plan, create, execute, and manage one or more meetings and events. Various templates for meeting planning are available for the clients' convenience.
[0034] The report generator module 28 generates a comprehensive selection of reports and information based on various input criteria. The selections include status reports, job costing and financial reports, and the like.
[0035] The event planning module 30 provides the functionality to research and plan events and activities. The events and activities may be associated with or independent of other scheduled meetings. For example, the planner utilizes the event planning module 30 to research and book a group dinner located at a restaurant in the geographical proximity of the meeting location of the group. The planning module 30 includes tools to manage specific event details such as task lists, timelines, equipment lists, and vendors.
[0036] The attendee management module 32 provides tools for the tracking, managing, and communicating with meeting attendees or other persons. The coordinator, via the site, solicits and collects information from the attendees regarding travel arrangements, participant preferences, and the like.
[0037] The marketplace module 34 provides a dynamic, interactive forum in which the coordinator locates and procures a variety of supplier products and services for upcoming events. A search function assists the coordinator in locating prospective suppliers via a variety of criteria; for example, geographical location or product category. The coordinator completes the entire online purchase transaction with the supplier via the marketplace tool, from locating a specific product to price negotiation and payment. In various embodiments, the marketplace module includes the functionality to provide an online auction forum, where the suppliers compete through a competitive bidding process to supply the coordinator with predetermined products or services.
[0038] The community module 36 provides industry or other valuable information to coordinators via interactive web tools. The tools include chat rooms, bulletin boards, and message services for the exchange, viewing, or transfer of information.
[0039] The customization module 38 enables the coordinator to personalize or customize a solution to the unique needs of the coordinator, their clients or meeting attendees. Personalized features include coordinator preferences for products, vendors, meeting locations, and the like. Customization for various events includes customized RFPs to request additional information; corporate-branded home pages; customized client interfaces for corporate clients; additional feature requirements; integration with legacy systems, migration of available historical planning information to a private, secure storage area such as a database, and customization for existing or future private arrangements between the client and the vendor.
[0040] Finally, the services module 40 streamlines client service inquiries and minimizes the number of representatives needed for the planning process. The module facilitates communications between live representatives and coordinators. In addition, the module generates focused client inquiry surveys to direct clients to an appropriate resource, and email filtering programs to route emails to proper destinations.
[0041] With respect to FIG. 3, there is shown a schematic depicting an embodiment of the present invention for an automated method for planning a meeting. In the method, a client is provided an interface 42. Typically, the interface contemplates a communications interface such as a website having a web server with one or more web pages, which the client accesses via a communications network such as the Internet. Upon access to the meeting planning website, data pertaining to the client or prospective client is collected 44, and stored in a repository 46. The data is analyzed 48 by one or more software programs, and the meeting is scheduled, based on the client's requirements. One or more steps of the method may be repeated 52 to achieve the desired client results.
[0042] An information architecture schematic of an embodiment according to the present invention is shown in FIG. 5, wherein the entire online meeting planning invention is depicted in terms various information resources. The various information resources represent collections of information and resources, as viewed by different groups of persons visiting the meeting planning site. For example, an attendee of a meeting may be interested in locating restaurants near a meeting or verifying flight reservations, while a coordinator may need to gather information and submit an RFP. Therefore, the entire site may be viewed as comprising a collection of discrete areas of information, each area having its own architecture. The global meeting planning services site 54 houses or is associated with information for a hotel representative extranet 56, a meeting planning site 58, an administration site 60, and an attendee site 62. The sites are logical representations only, and not physical representations. As such, the site may physically reside on, for example, one server 64, or be distributed among various hardware platforms according to a predetermined plan.
[0043] Turning now to FIGS. 5-9, an example of each information architecture is shown. The hotel representative extranet information architecture may contain, as depicted in FIG. 5, information related to hotel accommodations for meeting attendees. Typically, a coordinator or hotel representative utilizes this information by providing client-specific information such as a login and password 66 to gain access to information pertinent to the respective client. The information generally includes a section on RFPs 68, where the coordinator can locate RFPs sent to the hotel; the status of each RFP, associated deadlines; and so forth. Hotel profiles 70 are also available, whereby current information about various hotel are maintained. Proposals 72 provides information about bids sent to clients; templates for responses; and the statuses of various proposals. Marketing 74 displays currently utilized marketing options. Additional marketing opportunities include banner advertisements, news, industry and trade publications, date and rate information, and surveys. Global navigation tools 76 for logout, help, account information, and contact information are also supplied.
[0044] The meeting planning site information architecture, as depicted in FIG. 6, contains information for meetings 78, such as selection options to find a meeting package, as well as listing the clients' meetings currently stored on the site and statuses for the meetings. The calendar 80 contains current deadlines and other dates listed for all meetings stored on the site. The budget 82 contains selection options for predicting or constructing a budget, and actual costs as well as projected costs for various meeting components. The attendee manager 84 contains attendee information organized by meeting as well as attendee options. The task manager 86 contains a list of the major tasks needed to plan a meeting, including a meeting checklist, agenda generation, and invitation creation information. The resources 88 contain additional aids for coordinators, including features and reference information on industry news, trends, training and mentoring, and expert advice. Global navigation tools 90 for home page information, meeting planning service provider information, login, account information and help information are also available.
[0045] The administration site information architecture, as depicted in FIG. 7, permits administrative personnel secure access via a username and password window 92. The user area 94 contains information about the clients or users; queries the client base; and provides sorted results pertaining to individual client information, account information, meeting information, and so forth. The RFPs area 96 lists all current and past RFPs with the status of each. Contact information for the client and hotel representative is also contained in this area. The hotels/vendors area 98 contains current hotel and vendor information. Individual hotel and vendor information can be accessed to view profiles, etc. The marketing area 100 contains marketing and promotion information including ad campaigns, hotel and vendor ad campaigns, and affiliate commission tracking. The content management area 102 permits the administration to view and edit any content pieces that have been previously identified and are editable. Finally, the site tracking area 104 shows and sorts onsite activity, including emails received.
[0046] The attendee site information architecture, depicted in FIG. 8, permits meeting attendees entry through a link from email received 106. The attendees can register 108, and are prompted for all information that needs to be gathered from the attendee, including basic user information; save profile options; room preferences and room booking information; training and seminar selection; other preference options; as well as links to purchase merchandise. The location area 110 is purely informational and contains information about hotel meeting space, meeting locations, maps, weather, activities, etc. The agenda area 112 is also purely informational, containing a printable meeting agenda created by the coordinator. The travel area 114 contains information about arranging travel accommodations, including resources to air travel, rental cars, and the like.
[0047] Having illustrated and described the principles of the system and method of the present invention in various embodiments, it should be apparent to those skilled in the art that the embodiment can be modified in arrangement and detail without departing form such principles. For example, data and information entities may vary in structure, format, content, and relationship. Data entry functionality or data display functionality may be accomplished via a variety of devices, including web server, PDA, telephonic devices, or the like. Therefore, the illustrated embodiments should be considered only as examples of the invention and not as a limitation on its scope.

NEIGHBORHOOD REPORT: GRAND CENTRAL; Cyclists Say They're the Missing Element at a Transit Hub
By BEN UPHAM
Published: November 19, 2000
It is one of the most famous transportation hubs in the nation, but if you want to ride your bicycle to Grand Central Terminal, good luck. There is no safe place to park a bike at the 42nd Street landmark.
Transportation Alternatives, a nonprofit advocacy group, has been trying for a while to find space at the station for safe bike parking, so that people can transfer from bicycle to subway or train and back again.
Three years ago, the group began discussions with Metro-North Railroad about installing a permanent bike rack at the taxi stand on Vanderbilt Avenue, on the west side of the terminal. Those discussions were postponed while the station was being renovated, and a construction trailer went up at the site of the proposed rack.
Earlier this year, the trailer was removed, and the group began pursuing the issue again. In October, it sent a letter to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, co-signed by 10 city and Westchester County officials, asking for the authority to put up a bike rack.
But in early November, the authority, which owns Grand Central, rejected the proposal. Lisa Schwartz, a spokeswoman for the authority, said it would be unsafe to install a bike rack because the area was already overcrowded with people and taxis.
The transportation group will not give up, said Susan M. Boyle, who heads the bike rack effort. She plans to invite elected officials and those at the authority to tour the site and ''see if we can't come up with a solution.''
Meanwhile, New York's cyclists have to fend for themselves.
Alan Mukamal, a cyclist from Brooklyn, said if there was secure parking at Grand Central, bikers ''could go away for the weekend come back and have a bike waiting for them when they got home.''
But as it is, he added, if they left a bike locked up overnight outside the terminal, ''chances are they would go through a couple of bikes a month.''
Glen Goldstein, who runs the two-year-old annual New York City Bicycle Show, said many New York cyclists have two bicycles, a nice one for recreational biking and a ''clunker'' for getting around the city.
When Mr. Goldstein wants to park and ride, he locks his bike in front of the New York Police Department's Traffic Control Division, near Pennsylvania Station.
''Who would be crazy enough to saw off a lock in front of a police station?'' he asked. BEN UPHAM

Arizona Wildcats
Arizona coach Sean Miller to be assistant for '14 USA Men's U18 National Team
It was announced Tuesday that Arizona basketball coach Sean Miller will be an assistant on Billy Donovan's staff for the 2014 USA Basketball Men's U18 National Team.
Miller, who served as a court coach at the 2011 USA Basketball Men's World University Games Team training camp, won a gold medal while playing for USA Basketball at the 1991 World University Games.
"I had a tremendous experience representing my country in 1991 as a player on the USA World University Games team, and I couldn't be more excited for a chance to once again be part of USA Basketball," Miller said. "Our program here at Arizona has a long and successful relationship with USA Basketball and I'm honored to add to that legacy."
The location and dates for the FIBA Americas U18 Championships have yet to be announced, but the competition will have teams from eight countries, including Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Dominican Republic, Mexico, Puerto Rico and Uruguay.

3 Candidate Interview Reviews Back to all InterviewsSort: Popular Date Difficulty
Helpful (1)No OfferNegative ExperienceEasy Interview
I applied online. I interviewed at NetApp.
The HR emailed me and scheduled an initial ten minute screening interview. I waited for an hour but she didn't call. So I sent her an email hoping to receive a response. She emailed me 3 days later and rescheduled. The initial screening was a rapid fire question round with basic questions from all topics ( Networks, OS, Algos)- IPv4 address size, NP vs P which is harder etc. The second round was supposed to be an hour long. They forgot to call again. After I emailed them, I received a call an hour late. By this time i was completely frustrated and even though the questions were very easy, I screwed it up. Started with HR questions- Strength, Weaknesses, Idol, Why technology, When can you join, Are you currently holding on to any other offers/interviewing elsewhere etc. Basic Technical Questions - Difference between TCP/UDP, C vs Java, What are the routing protocols etc. It was a good opportunity but was a disappointing experience for me. Partly because of how i didn't answer well and partly because of how they kept forgetting to call.
Interview Questions
- As I said, nothing particularly hard. Definitely possible to clear initial rounds with fundamental knowledge from your Comp Sci degree program. Answer Question
- Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceDifficult Interview
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at NetApp (Bangalore (India)) in July 2009.
There were 3 rounds of technical interview along with 1 Hr AND 1 WRITTEN EXAMINATION.
Interview Questions
- Question about deadlocks in operating system. 1 Answer
Helpful (2)Accepted OfferNeutral ExperienceAverage Interview
The process took 1 day. I interviewed at NetApp (Bangalore (India)) in January 2008.
It was mostly technical with a panel of interviewers asking technical questions and code solving on a white board. About 4 hours long, so yeah, pretty drilling.

Tigers' Verlander, Marlins' Ramirez are top rookies
Updated: November 14, 2006, 8:31 PM ETAssociated Press
NEW YORK -- Right after Hanley Ramirez heard he was the NL Rookie of the Year, he started getting congratulatory calls from his Florida Marlins teammates.
That was only fitting, because some of his toughest competition came from all those other baby-faced players inside his own clubhouse.
Ramirez edged Washington third baseman Ryan Zimmerman in a tight
race for NL honors, and Detroit Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander
took home the AL award when balloting by the Baseball Writers'
Association ...

ISP Warns Magic Valley Drivers to Slow Down in School Zones
Now that most of the schools in the Magic Valley are back in business, the Idaho State Police are warning drivers to slow down in School Zones.
Now that most of the schools in the Magic Valley are back in business, the Idaho State Police are warning drivers to slow down in School Zones.
Following dress code policy change last year, some Twin Falls High School students are being pulled from class and sent to the office to address their clothes.
Several students, like the one pictured to the left, have been sent to the office of the Twin Falls High School due to violations of the dress code. But are they violations at all?
While Twin Falls schools have been in session for a week, other school districts are beginning their first day of school today and kids are going to be everywhere.
This is a great opportunity! The Twin Falls School District is asking the community help them pick a name, colors and mascot for the three new schools set to be built.
The first day of school can be overwhelming for students, especially if you are a freshman, first grader or kindergartner. There are a lot of unknowns.
I'm the proud parent of a very picky eater. I am always looking for new, fun things for my 2nd grader to put in his lunch box.
The winners are all in! We qualified 30 lucky EZ VIPs to win the Magic Valley Mall's Back to School VIP Shopping Spree, and gave away $600 in mall gift cards in the process.
EZ VIPs are playing and winning gift cards to retailers in the Magic Valley Mall, and one could win the $1,000 VIP Back to School Shopping Spree! We're in the final five days for your to enter and win!
Hundreds of Magic Valley children struggle with being able to afford school supplies. You can help by eating at any Twin Falls or Buhl McDonalds tonight (Aug. 6) between 5p and 8p.
The Magic Valley Mall wants to make Back to School shopping a little bit easier this year. They're giving away a $1,000 Shopping Spree and daily chances to win gift cards to your favorite retailers at the Magic Valley Mall!
It's hard to believe that it's almost time for school again. With Twin Falls schools starting earlier this year, the first day of school is going to be here before you know it. If you want to avoid sell outs, it's time to get school supply shopping.

Tell Exxon: Clean Up Your Anti-Equality Act
May 28, 2013 by HRC staff
Tomorrow is Exxon's annual shareholder meeting – and it's a chance to show that its anti-equality policies are outdated, harmful, and just plain wrong.
Because there's no federal non-discrimination law to protect Exxon's LGBT employees, they're left vulnerable to the company's anti-LGBT bias. In fact, it remains legal in 29 states to discriminate based on sexual orientation, and in 34 states to do so based on gender identity or expression.
Now, a brave legal complaint from the equality advocates at Freedom to Work has opened the door to new action against Exxon.
In the complaint filed under Illinois' non-discrimination statute, Freedom to Work asserts that Exxon received two identical job applications. The only difference? One had higher grades and an equality activist background.
Just guess which applicant allegedly got invited for an interview...
But this problem isn't new. More than a decade ago, Mobil banned discrimination based on sexual orientation and offered health benefits to domestic partners of its employees. But once Exxon acquired Mobil, these policies got reversed.
HRC has been urging Exxon to change course for years. It's the ONLY company ever to receive a negative score in our Corporate Equality Index.
While we fight for federal policies that protect LGBT Americans for workplace discrimination, we have no choice but to go company by company, striving for fair practices.

Balls are picked for the FA Cup draw
16:15 6th January 2013
Potters incentive to overcome Crystal Palace
STOKE CITY have been handed a huge incentive to overcome Crystal Palace in their FA Cup third round replay . . . with the possibility of a re-run of the 2011 FA Cup Final at the Britannia Stadium later this month.
Tony Pulis' side would face a home tie with Manchester City in the fourth round if they can beat Palace next week.
City launched their 2013 FA Cup campaign with a goalless draw at the Championship high-flyers, meaning that they went into the hat for the fourth round draw which was made at Wembley Stadium on Sunday.
Should they defeat Palace in next week's replay, it would be the third time in four seasons that the Potters have come up against Roberto Mancini's side.
On their route to the quarter finals in the 2009-10 season, they beat the Citizens in a Britannia Stadium replay after drawing with them at the Etihad Stadium.
But Mancini's men did, of course, shatter City's hopes of FA Cup glory in their first-ever appearance in the Final courtesy of a solitary goal from Yaya Toure.
The fourth round ties would be played over the weekend of January 26th and 27th.
Full FA Cup fourth round draw:
Norwich City v Luton Town
Oldham Athletic v Mansfield Town/Liverpool
Macclesfield v Wigan/Bournemouth
Derby County v Blackburn Rovers

... which explains his hysterical drivel. I am sure that Oren snubbed J street because the likes of Liebler begged him. The whole argumentation of the Israeli and Jewish die hard right is based on blaming every critique as motivated by hate. Less and less people (including Jews) buy it, starting with the Obama administration. Liebler et al know it and are scared and desperate. In fact, as a liberal and dovish Jew, whenever any dogmatic right winger calls me names (self hater, appeaser, court Jew, etc) I know that I am in the right track. Liebler et al are also worried about their future as "crusaders for Israel". What will they do once Israel has relatively normal relations with her neighbors? Against whom will they crusade? With all their accumulated mental adrenaline, it is hard to end up doing mere administrative chores. But their time of dismissal and oblivion is getting close (they know and they kick and scream about it).

Hes done that in the each of the past two games, starting with Sundays at San Antonio.The Heat had been keeping Miller in dry dock much of the season due to their tremendous depth and after he had close to retiring last summer due to back problems. But Miller, mostly because of recent injuries to starting shooting guard Dwyane Wade, has been dusted off lately by coach Erik Spoelstra, and hes showing...

L'Occitane en Provence Pivoine Flora 50ml Eau de Parfum
Item No.1570059513
Item No.1570059513
Pivoine Flora is a collection that celebrates the Peony - the "flower with a thousand petals" from the Mediterranean - and Flora, the Goddess of Spring. The peony is a magnificent symbol of beauty. Every year, in May, it puts on a dazzling show of colours and scents. As the spring breeze caresses the flowers, they seem to come to life, dance and spin - like graceful ballerinas. The scents of the petals blend together in a perfect harmony, creating a fragrant waltz of swirling, captivating floral notes that are utterly, beautifully feminine. In 2011, L'OCCITANE enriches its Pivoine Flora collection and introduces the Eau de Parfum, along with a tantalizing range of beauty treats. All the products in this collection contain a peony extract made from peonies grown by the renowned Rivière nursery, which uses time-tested skills and expertise.
Item description
The Pivoine Flora Eau de Parfum captures all the intensity of a heart of petals. A true elixir of femininity, this perfume blends the delicacy of peonies with the sensuality of magnolias, in a captivating floral fragrance marked with a woody trail.

About Fundación ParaguayaFundación Paraguaya is a financially self-sustaining social enterprise that promotes entrepreneurship in urban and rural areas through microfinance, education programs, and more. Its focus on agriculture has helped many farmers boost their crop yields. And a number of other borrowers have taken out loans to start and grow social businesses that have helped deliver eyeglasses, medicines and other helpful services in their local communities.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

How to Change Your Negative Reality
It is often taken for granted that the reality tomorrow will be the same as today.
But the fact is it changes constantly, imperceptibly without even our realizing that the reality has changed. The inability to grasp the changing reality is perhaps the single most important reason leading one to failures. While we blame the luck, the stars, government policies or the economy, it is an undeniable fact that the blame squarely lies on our inability to grasp the changing reality.
Time and space are not static concepts. They are in constant dynamic motion. And with the time and space our past and future change constantly. Then how is it that we do not realize the change? And how could past change? The reason is very simple. We view our past in a two dimensional state which we observe. We do not see the third dimension of interacting forces set in motion by our the past which is constantly creating new futures. We may call this the non physical dimension. There is a distinct potential of creating alternative futures of our choice once we recognize and interpret this non physical dimension
To explain the concept in very simple term let us look at an accident occurring in front of you and your colleague. Both are viewing the same event. But when it is recounted the versions are very different, the emotions are different, the outcome is different. The reality is different for the same event occurring at the same time for two different people. The reality could change for the same person as well, the way one interprets the event. The non physical past itself is different for two people with the same event. The physical event is the same. But the more important non physical reality of the same event has set in motion forces which are going to shape our future.
We also have the choice to change the non physical past of any event in the way we look at the event.
And this is what we call beliefs. Beliefs are our interpretation of past experiences and how we look at the experience.
Generally we hold the past events in a fixed image. Today is the same as yesterday. This minute is the same as the next. One meals is the same as the next and the beliefs get fixed in our mind and this where we are sacrificing the creative freedom to change our reality.
Every moment is different and unique. Even every event itself has many hues of reality. Today's events cannot be looked at in comparison with similar past event.
The comparable event of the past can at best be a tool for recognition and not for judgment or decision. And realizing this process of changing reality can empower us - put the power to change our world as we please.
To change our reality we therefore must do two things. First we must look at and examine all our beliefs which is the non physical part of our past and change the beliefs which are holding us back. This will help us to remove the negativities of the past and focus only on the positive events and positive beliefs.
Secondly you must believe that you are living in a world which though ever changing can still be shaped the way you want it to be. This puts the creative power of choice in your hands to shape your destiny. You create your world.
So take the step now of creating a world which you want and not a world which others want for you. Because your reality is very different from others. You have been doing this somewhat unconsciously right from the time you were born. Unfortunately the social conditioning made you believe otherwise. You were told you were the product of everything else except your own choices
So now let us restore that choice and start changing our reality from this moment on.

In a complete reversal of their earlier position, City Manager Jane Brautigam and her minions now seem to think that forcing those who would choose to exercise their free speech rights by demonstrating to do so only in city-approved "advocacy zones" with a city-issued permit is now a bad idea.
It's as if the Freedom Fairy descended upon the bureaucrats of Boulder, spreading her free-speech sparkly dust upon those who clearly needed a good dose.
If not fairy dust, what else could have caused this sudden reversal of opinion?
Could it have been the fact that several members of council who aren't afraid of being criticized by the public they work for thought that restricting free speech rights in a historically progressive place like Boulder is nothing short of f*%#@ crazy? Or was it the fact that moving forward on this hair-brained program designed to censor all citizens of Boulder presumably for the benefit of the few who do, in fact, fear what the public has to say, would no doubt have created the biggest public backlash in recent memory?
Either way, it appears for now that we citizens are still living in the Republic of Boulder. But this has been a valuable lesson. We need to keep our eyes on this particular group of city bureaucrats, as they seem hell-bent on forcing their vision of morality and their interpretation of what we can and cannot say and where we can say it on the rest of us.
Kudos to those on council who made it clear that they were going to fight this insane proposed ordinance to the very end. Now let's just hope that the Freedom Fairy can work her magic on the corporate puppets running CU before next April.
Speaking of, the University of Colorado spent more than $280,000 to shut down the campus on 4/20 so that pot smokers couldn't exercise their constitutional rights to assembly, free speech and protest.
University officials, er, student leaders (sorry, common mistake) even shelled out a bunch of cash to pro-marijuana performer Wyclef Jean, who was allowed to play a concert at the Coors Events Center as an alternative to the annual smokeout, as long as he didn't make any pot references. Not surprisingly, hardly anyone showed up.
And yet that same university announced last week that it spent $110,000 to bring the president of the United States, Barack Obama, to campus a few days after the marijuana smokeout. Obama, who was reportedly a stoner himself in his earlier years (despite his administration's heavy-handed approach to state and local medical marijuana laws), spoke in the same Coors Events Center the following week.
Does this strike anyone else as odd? Our publicly funded university spent more than twice as much to keep herb smokers and their speech off campus as it did to protect an admitted herb smoker's speech five days later?
We are supposed to be encouraged by the CU press release that assures us that funding for Obama's visit came from "existing insurance rebates to the university" that will "not result in any tuition or fee increase to students or reductions in campus budgets."
Whew. For a minute there, we thought there might be some sort of double standard, having a facility funded by a huge beer company at a campus that has a massive drinking problem, and then allowing certain pot smokers to speak there, while restricting other pot smokers' free-speech rights on the rest of campus.

Former Olympian lends hand
A Cincinnati doctor who competed in the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer is stepping up to help the 2014 Jamaican bobsled team "feel the rhythm and feel the rhyme."

CINCINNATI -- A Cincinnati doctor who competed in the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer is stepping up to help the 2014 Jamaican bobsled team "feel the rhythm and feel the rhyme."
Chiropractor Dr. Tim McCrossen has reached out to the team's captain, Winston Watts, to help their Olympic dreams come true.
Watts is the same competitor portrayed in the 1993 film "Cool Runnings." McCrossen and Watts became friends in 1994 at the Lillehammer Games when McCrossen was the brakeman on Team USA's bobsled team.
"We'd see each other every day on the hill," McCrossen said.
With the 2014 competition right around the corner, Watts and his team are hard at work, preparing for the bobsled trials. They qualified, but had no money to travel, and certainly no funds for decent bobsled gear.
"Sometimes I look at myself," Watts said. "And say 'Yes, we are crazy.'"
McCrossen learned of the team's financial barrier in a story online. He immediately sent money to his friend so they could get some proper equipment, remembering his days in Lillehammer.
"When I opened up my practice here in Cincinnati, I reached out to them and they came and did a grand opening, and signed copies of 'Cool Runnings,'" McCrossen said.
Watts and his Jamaican bobsled team will get the chance to compete in Sochi, thanks to their friend in Cincinnati who never forgot the feeling of cool runnings.
