For I client I am designing a site, and before I show her the design I would like to make sure what I want is possible.
Some of the pages have a 'normal' text, and besides that some practical information like date, location etc.
I want this practical info to show up in a second column.
But I don't want the client to have to go the html-editor and add something like a div with a specific class.
Is there a way to add a different field in the text-editor where she can add the text that should show up in the second column?
Thanks for any reply!!

If we accept that businesses today operate increasingly in a knowledge economy, and knowledge is their most significant resource, what type of organisational structure should be adopted by businesses to prosper in this environment?
Gerard Fairtlough's book The Three Ways of Getting Things Done: Hierarchy, Heterarchy and Responsible Autonomy in Organisations (2005) provides some useful thoughts that might help us to answer this question. In this page, I review this book and investigate how its ideas help us to think about the management of organisations in the knowledge economy.
Gerard Fairtlough
Whilst the author of what would be generally described as an 'academic' book on organisational theory, Fairtlough himself was far from being a traditional academic. He was initially trained as a biochemist and spent the first 25 years of his career working for the Royal Dutch Shell, where he rose to the post of Chief Executive for one of its main UK subsidiaries. In the 1980s he left Shell and branched out into more entrepreneurial activities, setting up and running several small businesses in the biotechnological and pharmaceutical sectors. He also acted as a 'business angel,' provided venture capital to promising and innovative businesses. He served as an advisor to various government bodies and academic institutions and was involved in the management of science and engineering research.
It was only late in life that he turned his attention to the more explicitly theoretical and abstract themes that are addressed in The Three Ways of Getting Things Done, thereby engaging with more academic debates about the nature of organisations. (He died in 2007 at the age of 77 and the book was only published two years before his death.) However, his personal experiences as a manager and an entrepreneur throughout his earlier life infuse all of these theoretical reflections and the practical problems of managing organisations large and small are never far from his thinking. In this sense, he is different from university-based researchers, whose connections with real organisations are frequently tenuous and indirect.
The book's quirky and novel feel is, thus, largely due to Fairtlough's ability to keep his feet firmly rooted on the ground and close to the realities of organisations, compounded with his distance from the academic community and its petty and unimportant squabbles.
The Problem of Coordination
Fairtlough's book is largely a novel and illuminating attempt to address what is referred to in the academic literature as the 'problem of coordination'. But what is this?
Whilst there are many things we can easily achieve by ourselves – say, cooking a meal or going for a jog – many other goals can only be accomplished if we cooperate with other people and therefore coordinate our activities with them – say, building a car or teaching a class. Once we have to work with other people in order to achieve specific goals, then we face the tricky problem of determining just how we should cooperate with each other. We therefore need to address these issues
- Who (if anybody) is going to tell other people what to do
- How people are going to be grouped together in an efficient manner
- How tasks should be completed
- Who has to communicate with whom
- How resources should be allocated between activities
- What rules should govern people's behaviour
All these issues are frequently classified as aspects of the 'problem of coordination', or what Fairtlough prefers to call the problem of determining the best way of 'getting things done'.
Fairtlough suggests that there are just three solutions to this problem of coordination – his three ways of getting things done of hierarchy, heterarchy and responsible autonomy. But all of these solutions, he argues, involve a combining together of only four dimensions.
- System: Any solution to this problem of coordination – or any viable way of getting things done – needs to establish procedures, routines, rules and common operating practices, or what might be referred to as a system. For example, health and safety procedures and HRM practices are examples of an organisation's system.
- Organisational Culture: A viable way of getting things done within a cooperative enterprise also needs an appropriate culture – a set of largely tacit and informal beliefs, knowledge and values – that aids effective communication and cooperation between all participants.
- Leadership: For Fairtlough, leadership involves the capacity of a person (or a group of people) to make sense of what is happening around them, to have the vision of what needs to be done and the ability to persuade others to pursue this vision. Leadership – categorised in this way – is an essential component of any viable way of getting things done.
- Power: The capacity to coordinate the affairs of a number of different people and their collective activities requires the effective use of power. It generally derives from people's control over scarce resources, which are then employed to bring about certain preferred outcomes. For example, when a group of people have control over an organisation's budget they are then well placed to ensure that it is spent on resources that reflect their specific goals and aspirations
The Three Ways
Of course, these four different dimensions of getting things done can be realised in many different ways. For example, leadership can be either democratic or authoritarian in nature, whilst it is possible for power to be held either widely by a large group of people, or concentrated exclusively in the hands of the few. Once we acknowledge these possibilities, we've gone a long way to understanding what is behind Fairtlough's three ways of getting things done, since in each one of them these four different dimensions are realised and assembled together according to different principles. So, what are these three ways?
The first way to bring together these four different dimensions is by means of a hierarchy. According to Fairtlough, in this way of getting things done there is a single ruler at the apex of the organisation who has total control over all of it. This ruler then delegates some authority onto a series of lesser rulers, and so on down the pyramid of the organisation. The consequence is, of course, that those at the base of a hierarchical structure lack any meaningful access to power and authority.
Today, hierarchy is to be found in all organisations that have broadly bureaucratic and 'mechanistic' structures. This is because in such these organisations there are tall structures with many managerial levels, clear chains of command and explicit rules and procedures governing how employees must undertake their work. The flow of communication is generally vertical – exclusively down and up the structure. Their managers generally adopt an authoritarian leadership style and power is overwhelmingly concentrated in their hands.
An important component of Fairtlough's argument is that hierarchy is generally perceived as being the only viable way of getting things done. I think he's attempting to convey the idea that it is generally taken for granted by most of us that, if we have to organise any activity involving a reasonable number of people, then the use of hierarchical arrangements is really the only way to do it. To us this seems a commonsense, obvious and rarely questioned assumption that is, thus, what Fairtlough refers to as 'hegemonic'. A significant – and perhaps perverse – consequence is that we generally discount and ignore the possibility that there are frequently other – perhaps more effective – ways of getting things done (which brings us neatly to heterarchy and responsible autonomy.)
The second way of coordinating work of several people is via a heterarchy. Whereas hierarchy is as based around a single ruler, heterarchy is founded on multiple rulers. Thus, any viable social arrangement must involve a sharing of power between these different rulers and achieving an appropriate and workable balance of power between them.
The character of this way of getting things should become easier for you to grasp once we examine couple of examples of heterarchies provided by Fairtlough:
Partnerships: In a law firm all partners are of roughly equal status and, thus, there's a balance of power between all of them. In theory at least, no one partner is in a dominant position. An important consequence is that all partners are involved in all key decision making and the management of the organisation.
Strategic alliances: Here businesses decide to cooperate together in order to achieve their joint objectives. For example, a small business, having developed a new product, may lack the necessary resources to develop it further and to market it successfully. It may then form alliance with another business that would undertake these activities on its behalf. Here the relationship is heterarchical, since neither business dominates the other and both are involved in all decision making about the future development of the product.
Responsible Autonomy
The third way of getting things done is via what Fairtlough refers to as responsible autonomy. Here there is no external control over the activities of a unit and the participants within it can determine – as they see fit – just how best to manage and coordinate their own activities. Thus, the unit is autonomous. However, at the same time the unit is externally accountable for what it achieves and it is likely to face some form of sanction or punishment if it fails to accomplish whatever goals it has. Thus, the unit is responsible.
As with heterarchy, some pertinent examples might make it easier for you to get your heads around this notion of responsible autonomy:
Grants to voluntary organisations and NGOs: the government might provide a grant for a project to a voluntary organisation or a NGO. It is then for that organisation to determine for itself how best to employ these resources in order to achieve its objectives – in this sense, it is autonomous. However, it is also held accountable by the grant giving body and it will suffer some kind of penalty – such as the withdrawal of further funding – if it fails to achieve its objectives.
Semco: This is a Brazilian company with an extraordinary management philosophy and where responsible autonomy is practised (Semler, 1993). Individual employees and business units are given enormous amounts of autonomy and discretion in determining what they should be doing. Yet the nasty sting in the tail for all of Semco's employees is that they are at the same time held responsible for their results and, if they fail to deliver, then the business is liable to deal with them very severely and harshly.
Ourselves: We might judge that this practice of responsible autonomy best characterises how we coordinate our work in this module. This is because all participants have the maximum amount of discretion in deciding what themes should be covered by the module and how it should be managed. Yet this increased autonomy comes at a cost and it has, so to speak, a 'dark side.' This is because all of us will be held directly accountable for how we use this increased autonomy – students through the assessment process and staff through feedback from students at the end of the year. If we fail to deliver things for which we have taken responsibility, then we'll have to have to face the largely negative consequences.
Another Perspective on the 'Problem of Coordination'
Other researchers, like Fairtclogh, have also addressed this 'problem of coordination' and have attempted to identify all of the ways in which people can engage in cooperative enterprises. One popular and influential perspective also suggests that there are three principal modes of coordination, but it goes on to suggest that these modes only bear a superficial and passing resemblance to those identified by Fairtlough. These are markets, hierarchies and networks. (See Grahame Thompson's Markets, Hierarchies and Networks (1991), which was in turn inspired by a short paper by William Ouchi entitled Markets, Bureaucracies and Clans (1980), which is available in Thompson's book.)
According to this perspective, the three ways of getting things done are:
Market: According to this perspective, a market is a powerful and efficient mechanism of coordination. What is a market and how does it coordinate the activities of many people? Well, all markets involve voluntary exchanges of goods and services between producers and consumers at specific prices. Through this process, the producers are able to identify what goods and services their customers are willing to purchase and at what prices. Armed with this information, they are then able to alter the nature and prices of the goods and services they are producing in order to meet the needs of these customers. Thus, the wonder of markets (that have enchanted economists from Adam Smith onwards) is that they are able to coordinate almost spontaneously via a 'hidden hand' the activities of many manufacturers and consumers, even though they might be widely dispersed and entirely unaware of each other's existence. When you reflect a little bit on what a market is able to do, then they I think you have to conclude that they are indeed very powerful mechanisms of coordination.
Hierarchy: The second mode of coordination, according to this perspective, is hierarchy. We've already discussed it at some length when we were investigating Fairtlough's model.
Network: The third and final mode of coordination is a network. According to this perspective, the members of a network are more or less equal and, thus, networks are non-hierarchical in terms of their status and powers structures. Communication within a network tends to be horizontal and between people of a similar status. Central to the efficient operations of a network is the fact that all of its members endorse common cultural values and beliefs that therefore prescribe certain appropriate norms of behaviour. High levels of trust between members are also important.
The Three Ways and the Knowledge Economy
Here I want be much briefer than I've been so far with the first two sections. In discussing the relationship between the three ways and the knowledge economy, Fairtlough makes two important observations:
Fairtlough argues that the contemporary world of business and work is significantly different from the same world of a couple of decades ago. He highlights several factors as firm indicators of the ways in which the economy has changed – the process of globalisation, the deregulation of different markets, the increased use of IT, new manufacturing technologies, awareness of the impact of the activities of business on the natural environment, changes in the labour market and broader cultural and social changes. These are trends we've explored in the pages on the Apple economy and knowledge capitalism.
He goes on to assert that the practice he refers to as responsible autonomy is best suited to this new reality and that businesses need to adopt it in order to thrive and develop within it. Just why this might be case is, unfortunately, not explored with any degree of conviction and clarity by Fairtlough. However, I suspect he's envisaging (following the contingency theory of Burns, 1994) that the flexibility offered organisations by responsible autonomy enables them to respond rapidly to the new market opportunities generated by a dynamic economy.
- Do you agree with Fairtlough that there are only 'three ways of getting things done'? Can you find examples of each of these different modes of coordination? Is the model too tidy and doesn't clearly explain all of the messy reality of businesses today?
- Are they 'ways of getting things done' that haven't been identified by Fairtlough? What are they?
- Do you agree with Fairtlough's view (and also mine) that something like 'responsible autonomy' is the most appropriate structure for a business operating in the knowledge economy? What is it about this economy - and knowledge as its principal resource - that lends support to this hypothesis?

(LOS ANGELES, CA) -- The Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection (ASACP) is pleased to announce its return participation in the upcoming Qwebec Expo, slated for August 9-11, at the Marriott Chateau Champlain in Montreal.
Qwebec Expo is a trade show and technical conference serving existing and prospective online adult entertainment professionals. This annual event acts as an international crossroads for US, Canadian and European members of the adult industry, who gather to network and learn about the latest technologies, trends, products and services.
The promoters of Qwebec Expo are graciously providing ASACP with banner space and a table offering informational materials, as well as an ad in the events show guide.
"Qwebec Expo is honored to support ASACP and RTA again this year by giving them as much exposure as possible," event organizer Michael Plante stated. "Tim and his team are doing a tremendous job of helping mainstream audiences understand that the legitimate adult industry community has no links to Cp, and is fighting this heinous crime against children."
Qwebec Expo is growing in popularity and becoming an increasingly important event for ASACP to attend. As such, its Executive Director, Tim Henning, will attend the event as part of the associations commitment to educate businesses about the need to protect children on the Internet and how ASACP services such as the Restricted to Adults (RTA) website meta-label, Best Practices and a Code of Ethics enable this endeavor.
"The Qwebec Expo attracts a global audience of digital media stakeholders, including those that might avoid American events due to travel restrictions," Henning stated. "Reaching this critical and diverse audience is vital to the associations international outreach efforts."
Henning will play an active role in the event, moderating the "New Bees Workshop," where "The questions you were too shy to ask" will be answered; as neophyte operators learn how to get started and how to make the most of what they already have.
"Having a voice on the New Bees Workshop is valuable to ASACP, as it allows us to reach both new and prospective entrants to the online adult entertainment arena," Henning explains. "This is a perfect opportunity to deliver our message of corporate and social responsibility to frontline operators, helping to stem potential problems before they begin."
Henning will have an additional opportunity to present his pitch to Qwebec Expo attendees when he participates as a panelist in the special "Adult Industry Dos and DonTS" session that will examine the ethics of porn promotion.
Rather than being seen as a faceless, nameless nanny attempting to dictate terms to an outside industry, ASACP seeks to build bridges of understanding between stakeholders by being a known and trusted entity. Furthering this effort, Henning will join adult entertainment moguls for the 6th Annual Qwebec Masters Golf Tournament at Club de Golf de Montreal, and will also play at the Hockey Night in Qwebec event, sponsored by Crak Revenue and Ce Cash.
"ASACP appreciates the continued generosity of Qwebec Expo and the other adult industry supporters of its mission to keep children out of and away from adult entertainment," Henning stated. "This financial and other assistance enables the association to carry its message to the businesses and lawmakers that need to hear it."
For more information, or to schedule a meeting with Henning, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.

Hey folks! How 's your week going? Have you been exercising? Drinking your water? Saying "No†to treats? And most importantly have you been getting a good night 's sleep?
Sleep? Why is the Fitness Cheerleader asking me about my sleep? Does sleep cause weight loss?
Well †" no, sleep doesn 't cause you to lose weight, but it certainly plays a vital role in preventing you from sabotaging your healthy eating plans. You see, when you don 't get enough sleep, your body releases a stress hormone called cortisol. And guess what? That nasty stress hormone cortisol causes our bodies to break down protein (our muscles) turning it to glucose (sugar). This excess sugar is used for fat production and triggers our bodies to release insulin. But guess what? Our bodies over-produce insulin, therefore dropping our blood sugar levels too low. This tells our brains that we are ravenously hungry and need to eat. It makes us crave sugar and that excess sugar is used for fat production…. Ahhh †" isn 't that a nice vicious cycle?
But wait! That 's not the only vicious cycle cortisol causes! Elevated cortisol levels also make it difficult to fall asleep… so again, you don 't get enough sleep and want to spend the whole next day tired eating a ridiculous amount of sugar laden foods. Lovely.
Yes – Cortisol is bad… very, very bad. Also, having elevated levels of cortisol has been found to lead to:
- Lowered immunity
- Poor short-term memory
- Constipation
- Weight gain, especially in the abdominal region and the waist
- Loss of muscle tone
- Reduced growth hormone, testosterone, DHEA and estrogen
- Osteoporosis
Seriously folks – Sleep is important! Just ask my kids what mommy is like if she hasn 't gotten enough sleep! Numerous studies have linked the oversecretion of cortisol with obesity and increased fat storage in the body, so if you want to start having control of your cravings, and start getting fit stop reading this article and get to sleep! I 'm telling you this because I love and care for each one of you. Good night and sweet dreams.

Tea With a Twist
Golden brown, translucent liquid, hot or cold, strong or weak, black or brewed from exotic, aromatic herbs: tea has recently captured our collective imagination. Americans, unlike most of the rest of the world, still tend to prefer coffee--strong, and plenty of it--but who can deny that tea offers so much more in terms of ritual, comfort, and elegance? Hot or iced, graced with milk and sugar and earthy spices or nothing other than a dainty wedge of lemon, tea is turning up everywhere (a collection of tea houses and specialty shops have recently opened up in town to prove this).
But long before tea was hot, Elaine Sommer, of Center City, Minnesota, has been brewing it, pouring it, enjoying it, and passing that appreciation on to her four children. And when she was still too little to make it herself, her mother and her grandmother fixed it for her. "It was part of growing up for as far back as I can remember," says Elaine. "My grandmother claimed that tea wouldn't stunt my growth."
Now, Elaine, a (suspiciously petite) woman with warm blue eyes and a beautiful smile, is turning her love of tea into a business enterprise full of imagination and generosity. This past summer, she and her close friend Diane Whiting, from the neighboring town of Shafer, combined their shared talents and energies to launch "Proper Teas: Refreshment and Mystery Events" at Diane's impressive Victorian home. They've already been hosting teas just for the fun and fulfillment of it in Diane's elegant parlor for several years running: teas meant to "refresh" and "comfort" guests, mostly women, and then more recently, a June tea held to raise funds for NAMI [National Association of the Mentally Ill] of Ramsey County. "The fundraiser was a terrific success," says Diane. "We raised the money and had a good time while we did it."
Now, the two women hope to make a business of inviting mothers, daughters, and granddaughters for teas that connect and celebrate the generations; they look forward to serving children--little girls and boys dressed in their finest finery--teas for birthday parties and extra-special occasions; and they'd also like to attract small groups of coworkers for teas that build trust, camaraderie, and teamwork.
Here's where I ought to back up and admit that I know more about Elaine than her penchant for a warm cup. During my family's seven years in Center City, that intense, mystifying, unforgettable period of really becoming a family, Elaine was our next-door neighbor. When we moved in to our home on December 28 and didn't have any appliances, Elaine showed up with a huge pot of hot corn chowder and fresh corn bread. The next day, her nine-year-old twins bounded over and introduced themselves, chattering away as I juggled my four-month-old in one arm and boxes in the other. Such was the start of a neighborly friendship that always amounted to many times more than the total sum of the time we spent together: Elaine taught my children about edible flowers and the benefits of bees, and she taught me about being a mother and about the strength and depth of the human spirit through her quiet example. Plus, she never let on that she minded what a wreck our yard was compared to her gorgeous, overflowing English gardens. Sometimes, as I set my kids' breakfast on the kitchen table, I'd look past the black walnut tree outside our kitchen window, over the lush rows of hydrangeas between our yards, and stare at Elaine's sunroom, picturing her curled up there with a cup of tea and a book, and it soothed my own nerves. Naturally, when she told me she and Diane were starting a business hinged on refreshing the spirits of others, I had to share their story (plus, I suspected it would get me a tour of Diane's house, which my husband, John, and I had secretly ogled during all of the years we lived in Center City).
The three most important things I learned about Proper Teas are: first, that Proper Teas can be tailored to suit almost any desire--Elaine, a trained chef, makes all the food from scratch, and the mystery can be suitable for children or adults. Second, Proper Teas are served in one unbelievably funky Victorian house with secret nooks and crannies, princess rooms, hand-painted murals, meandering gardens with stone walkways, beautiful trellises, fountains, and wicker-furnished patios--and just between you, me, and Diane, a little hot glue and magic marker where it's called for to maintain the effect (that's all I'm going to tell you now, but if you visit for a tea, do ask Diane about her cost-saving decorating tips). Third, Proper Teas require proper manners, but if you should happen to forget yours, all can be made well again if you simply call out, "A thousand pardons! I've been most revolting!"
This line comes from the British cartoon Mrs. Fishbourne's Guide to Table Etiquette--which Diane fell for several years ago when traveling in England with Elaine, whose close friend, Christine, lives there. "I think I was seven years old when Christine and I first became pen pals," Elaine recalls. "We finally met when we were in college, and we've always stayed close. Her family is like family to me." While that trip to England was Diane's first, Elaine has traveled in England and Europe extensively. Both women love the English countryside and the comfort to be found in its customs. Some of the tea sets that adorn every room in Diane's twenty-one room home are sets she brought home from England. She also brought back a heightened fondness for fancy, candied cakes and polished etiquette.
Her attempts at the candied cakes have been beautiful but largely inedible, and she admits the etiquette part doesn't always fly. "I just can't seem to remember when to pour, or when to refill trays," Diane laments. Even her Springer Spaniels, Amy Charlotte and Copper Bob, don't get the manners thing. For example, they persist in sniffing no matter how often Diane tells them it's rude. "But," she reminds me, "Elaine is doing the cooking, and her cakes always turn out, and she is a perfect hostess. Absolutely perfect. I'm sure she's going to be the one who ends up looking good in this story."
Well . . . Elaine is a warm, gracious hostess, and her cooking is divine. She's had many years of practice--as a child on her family's farm, she preferred the chore of cooking to milking cows; she remembers having to stand on a high stool to fry eggs. At the University of Minnesota, she majored in foods and business, and for the past five years she worked as a chef and dietary supervisor at Point Pleasant Heights, an apartment complex for senior citizens. "I especially loved planning special-occasion meals," Elaine says. "I used fresh herbs and edible flowers from my gardens at home to make the meals stand out."
Menus for the Proper Teas are entirely flexible but typically a tea consists of several courses. Savory items include finger salads and seasonal delicacies such as daylilies stuffed with summer salads, vegetable tureens, and tea sandwiches. Sweets include scones with Devonshire cream and homemade jellies, lemon curd, tea cakes, and tarts. And, of course, teas.
Elaine and Diane serve the teas in the ornate dining room with the help of Alyssa, Diane's daughter-in-law, who is the mother of one-year-old Emma, the first Whiting grandchild. Alyssa also writes the mysteries, which take guests all over the house's three stories. Adults will find themselves oohing and aahing over the faded splendor of this turn-of-the-century home, but children will simply flip--this is the stuff seven-year-old girls' dreams are made of: lace and china, canopies and ribbon, old-fashioned hats and dresses hanging in a second-floor hallway, a tea set in every room--and permission to carefully traverse the entire house to solve the mystery.
"It's all a little tongue-in-cheek," says Diane. "It's meant to be fun, not stuffy--just over the top. People seem to like it. When we hosted one group of coworkers who were having some tensions, they said it was the only time they had ever laughed together. And the women's tea we had went over really well," Diane says. "They said they'd been to lots of different teas and this one was the best . . . but then again, they're my friends."
"It's just so wonderful to see moms, daughters, and grandmas enjoying an afternoon together," says Elaine. "And of course, seeing the groups of children having fun together. We love that."
Proper Teas may be scheduled for groups of ten to twelve; costs start at $20 per person for the tea and mystery. For more information or to make reservations, call Diane Whiting at (651) 257-4058.

As a tool to fight obesity. The Obama Administration proposed taxing soft drinks.
However, a new study suggests higher taxes on sodas may not be effective in fighting obesity.
Researchers found that adding up to a 40 percent tax on high calorie drinks would only cut about 13 calories a day from a person's diet.
Experts say taxing the owners of restaurants and vending machines might not be effective in fighting obesity.

5 ways GOP could finally settle presidential race
Utah is the last state to hold a primary prior to convention
Steven Senne, Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Are we there yet? Not quite. Mitt Romney's two steps forward, one flub back campaign continues its tantalizing progress toward a total victory that always seems just ahead.
Still, the Republican presidential race has got to end sometime, whether it's April or August. Here are five ways to settle this thing:
1. The likeliest route
Romney pulls off a clean win by the time the last state votes in June.
Sure, he's cutting it closer than he'd like, but if Romney keeps up his current pace he can win the necessary majority — 1,144 delegates — by June 26, if not sooner. Last-chance Utah, where Romney is embraced by a large population of fellow Mormons, would make a poignant wrap-up.
After Louisiana's primary Saturday, 21 states and the District of Columbia have yet to vote, and Romney's about halfway to the magic number, according to The Associated Press delegate count. If he hits his mathematical mark — or if his only rival within shouting distance, Rick Santorum, drops out — Romney instantly becomes the presumptive nominee and the general election race is on.
But Santorum and Newt Gingrich are trying to prevent that tidy Romney finish by sticking in the contest and drawing away votes. That strategy comes as many Republicans are eager to choose a champion and turn the party's attention to defeating President Barack Obama.
2. Flying to the rescue
Superdelegates can speed up the finish.
They were empowered just for this sort of scenario. All members of the Republican National Committee automatically attend the nominating convention, and 117 of them are superdelegates whose state party rules leave them free to vote however they choose.
So far most have stayed on the sidelines while the primary plays out. Romney's big win in Illinois and a growing sense of inevitability may draw more superdelegates to endorse him, allowing him to claim the status of presumptive nominee sooner than he otherwise could.
If Romney comes up just shy in the state-by-state voting, superdelegates could push him over the top before the Republican National Convention. They would have plenty of incentive to cut to the finale.
The goal when the GOP meets Aug. 27 in Tampa, Fla., is four scripted days of television that play like a campaign commercial for the nominee, not a reality show full of squabbling factions.
"The Republicans understand the risks of taking this family feud to the convention," said Democrat Donna Brazile, who advised Bill Clinton's presidential campaigns.
Any public bickering would be especially poorly timed this year: The Democrats' meticulously crafted convention, showcasing a president who faced no challengers within his party, comes the week after the Republicans meet.
3. Contested convention
Suddenly the long-winded roll call of the states gets interesting.
If Romney fails to snag the necessary delegates, Republicans can buckle up for their most tumultuous convention since Ronald Reagan nearly stole the nomination from President Gerald Ford in 1976.
Ford, lifted to the presidency through Richard Nixon's resignation, had accumulated more delegates than the more conservative, charismatic Reagan. But Ford was short of a majority, leaving the Kansas City convention's outcome in doubt. A rules fight launched and lost by the Reagan forces added to the drama. The tension didn't ease until the roll call vote: Ford eked out the nomination, 1,187 votes to 1,070.
Like Ford, Romney's goal would be to coax more people to his side for that crucial first vote, when most delegates are obligated by state party rules to support the candidate chosen by the voters back home.

Diabetic Retinopathy - When To Call a Doctor
Call your doctor immediately if you have diabetes and notice:
- Floaters in your field of vision. Floaters often appear as dark specks, globs, strings, or dots. A sudden shower of floaters may be a sign of a retinal detachment, which is a serious complication of diabetic retinopathy.
- A new visual defect, shadow, or curtain across part of your vision. This is another sign of retinal detachment.
- Eye pain or a feeling of pressure in your eye.
- New or sudden vision loss. The sudden onset of partial or complete vision loss is a symptom of many disorders that can occur within or outside the eye, including retinal detachment or bleeding within the eye. Sudden vision loss is always a medical emergency.
Watchful waiting
Watchful waiting is not an option if you have diabetes and notice changes in your vision.
If you have type 2 diabetes, even if you do not have any symptoms of eye disease, you still need to have your eyes and vision checked regularly by an eye specialist (ophthalmologist or optometrist). If you wait until you have symptoms, it is more likely that complications and severe damage to the retina will have already developed. These may be harder to treat and may result in permanent vision loss.
If you have type 1 diabetes, are age 10 or older, and were diagnosed 5 or more years ago, you should have your eyes checked even if you don't have symptoms. If you wait until you have symptoms, it is more likely that complications and severe damage to the retina will have happened. These may be harder to treat. And the damage may be permanent.
Watchful waiting is not an option if you already have diabetic retinopathy but do not have symptoms or vision loss. You will need to return to your ophthalmologist for frequent evaluations (every few months in some cases) so that your doctor can closely monitor changes in your eyes. There is no cure for the disease. But treatment can slow its progression. Your ophthalmologist can tell you how often you need to be evaluated.
Who to see
People who have diabetes need to see a doctor who specializes in eye care for their eye evaluations.
If you have diabetic retinopathy and need laser treatment or surgery, you need to consult an ophthalmologist who specializes in treating the retina and has special training in the care of eye disease caused by diabetes.

Understanding of the relationship between institutions and economic progress made major headway in the 1990s. Since 2000 the pace of intellectual advance has been stepped up, with fresh thinking especially on governance systems and the role of aid. This article illustrates these propositions with special reference to relevant contributions to DPR over the period. Three particular topics are addressed: the rise and transformation of institutional theory; aid, governance and 'country ownership'; and the terms on which donors can contribute to the facilitation of institutional change. The article introduces a theme issue which celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Overseas Development Institute by reprinting nine of the highlighted DPR articles.

The department says that's mainly due to a misconception that the cloudy weather means people don't have to protect themselves from the sun.
The department says residents should protect themselves from ultraviolet light even on the region's many cloudy days.
Sunburns in childhood are associated with melanoma later in life. That's one reason for a law that went into effect this month in Washington, banning kids under 18 from using tanning beds.
The department says people can help prevent skin cancer by using sunscreen with a sun protection factor of 30 or higher, by staying in the shade - especially during midday hours - and covering skin with clothing that covers your arms and legs or a hat with a wide brim to shade your face, head, ears and neck.

Broke? Hungry? Luckily, you've got quite a number of options to chose from tonight and we're here to help you navigate the smorgasbord of free food at your fingertips.
At NYClash, teams from Columbia, Fordham, NYU, and Rutgers square off on an eternal question that has perplexed many a puzzled pre-frosh: Liberal Arts or Engineering? For everyone else, there will be free snacks and refreshments from 6:30 to 8:30 pm at the Roone Arledge Auditorium in Lerner, provided by event hosts Columbia Debate.
If your hunger (or intellectual curiosity) can't be satiated by a mere snack, the free food and profound moral questions continue at the Undergraduate Philosophy forum. Pick up free pizza and soda at 8 pm in Philosophy 716 and tackle topics revolving around ethics, Western society, and their place in the American liberal arts education.
Finally, if that's sounding a bit too intellectual for you (or if you still have room for more), get a different, but still completley free, taste of Columbia at the Bollywood Antakshiri Night. Ahimsa and the Organization of Pakistani Students will be providing a wide variety of free foods on the menu tonight, including dosas, samosas, spinach and cheese naan, and mango lassi. The event will be held in Lerner's Satow Room on the fifth floor, starting at 8:30 pm.
Update: Even more free food! Election-Ready will be having free Havana Central empanadas (in addition to other undisclosed snacks) in the Lerner Broadway Room from 7 to 9 pm. The event is sponsored by Latino Heritage Month 2011, Caribbean Students Association, Barnard Organization of Soul Sisters, and the Columbia Political Union, to ensure that we won't be making uninformed decisions in 2012 on an empty stomach.

R. Glenn Hubbard, the Dean of the BSchool, author of your Principles textbook, and Inside Job star, will lead the Economic Policy team of Mitt Romney, Spec reports. Hubbard has been advising Romney, former Governor of Massachusetts and candidate for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination, for a year.
Hubbard wrote the introduction to Romney's plan for job growth, which was released yesterday. The plan proposes cutting corporate tax rates, reducing the power of labor unions, and reducing government spending (and is well-covered on Politico). This coming year, you can be sure to expect more politics on campus, as the 2012 election race gathers steam.

On Monday No Labels took over Roone Arledge Auditorium, and Alex Jones was there to check out all of the super-exciting bipartisan action.
The event started at the ungodly hour of 8 a.m., and began with an address by the four "founding leaders." What followed can only be described as uncomfortable. No Labels commissioned Akon to write a song about bipartisanship'—because Akon is the post-partisan hip-hop equivalent of Henry Clay, apparently. The crowd (mostly middle-aged to elderly) swayed back and forth to such inspiring lines as, "see a man with a blue tie, see a man with a red tie, so how about we tie ourselves together and get it done." It was an auto-tuned, bipartisan sight to see.
In case you haven't picked up on it by now, No Labels is an organization that would like to inspire bipartisan politics. So Democrats and Republicans take off their "labels," forget which team they play for, and everything works much better. This event was the kick-off for the 2012 election cycle, and No Labels gathered a dozen or so prominent Republicans and Democrats to give short speeches in support of the No Labels ideology.
The speakers, however, didn't have much substance per se, but instead stayed in the abstract realm of political no-nothings. In fact, it kind of sounded to Bwog like these politicians came here to whine about how hard things are now a-days. So things are difficult now, sure, but does bipartisanship really help at all? Don't we just want good-hearted partisanship? How about passing around Oreos and milk during every roll call vote? The No Labels event just doesn't seem like a profitable exercise if they are only complaining about things going wrong and not proposing a solution.
Talking about what each speaker said doesn't seem necessary because everyone just repeated permutations of the same basic argument:
If you write those statements twice each on a die, and you roll that die three times, you have just drafted a speech with as much coherency and importance as was given by each speaker. So sleep well knowing that something out there is wrong, and some people are concerned about it, but it's anyone's guess how to fix it. Sounds a bit familiar.

I was trying to capture that "band of brothers" nervous climate in it. Hopefully I got a little close to
very nice I can feel the action in it, and I like the faded colour
Woah, that's an excellent shot! I like how there's a sort of angle to it, kinda gives me a sense of chaos .
Thank you Idea of using angle like that was to add more dramatical climate to this scene
Nicely taken.

"So glad I bought these"
By Svelte Cat from New Hampshire
I only wish I had replaced my old shades sooner. Every time I raise and lower my new Blinds Galore shades, they function easily and flawlessly. I had put up with old dirty shades that didnt lower or stay level at the top. These shades look great both for the quality of light passing through them and for the color of the fabric you see. The prices were better than what I could get at the local box store. Measuring and installing were both easy. I was nervous to the the dimensions right but they have good instructions.View this product
"Great Product!"
By QuiltyGirl from Sioux Falls, SD
These blinds were of equal quality to those being sold locally for over $250 more. And they were super easy to install! I'm a big fan! Thanks for the super product.View this product

Dialed-in Brandt Snedeker looking to make a dream come true Sunday
A dialed-in Brandt Snedeker has a very good shot at winning the 2013 Masters and is in the final pairing headed into Sunday.
More Golf: Masters | Leaderboard | Rankings | Expert Picks | Equipment | FedEx Cup
Before the 2013 Masters began, Brandt Snedeker said he would give up all his career PGA Tour wins -- five of them, to be exact -- to win the Masters once. After a scorching back nine on Friday, the pale, lanky Southerner is in pretty good position to do just that.
"Sneds" played evenly throughout Saturday in Augusta before turning up the heat down the stretch, posting a 3-under 69 that put him at the top of the leaderboard tied with Angel Cabrera at the end of the day.
"I played a clean scorecard," Snedeker said after his round. "Making no bogeys around here is a really great thing for me. I drove the ball great today, I really didn't put myself in trouble at all. I kind of hit away from pins and hit the fat sides of greens, relied on my putting to get me through and made some good putts coming down the stretch to shoot that 69."
It'll be an emotionally charged Sunday for Snedeker, who's still searching for his first win in a major. Though he might look calm, he said he's dealing with more of a "duck on a pond" feeling than anything else.
"Of course, you do -- like a duck on a pond," Snedeker said when asked if he got nervous. "I might seem calm on the outside but I'm going a mile a minute -- heart's beating a mile a minute on the inside. Done a good job calming those nerves the first three days. Hopefully, I can do it again tomorrow."
Snedeker indicated before the tournament that his week leading up to the Masters is anxiety-filled because of how much he wants to win at Augusta.
"I would trade all my PGA Tour wins for this one tournament," Snedeker said. "It's tough to treat it like just any other tournament."
Snedeker's recent history on Sunday at Augusta isn't dynamic, but it could also bode well for success. He shot a 73 in 2012 before finishing 19th overall.
And, in 2011, Snedeker shot a 70 en route to a 15th-place finish.
What will be particularly interesting to watch is his performance split between the front and back nine on Sunday. Snedeker has owned the back-nine holes thus far in 2013, shooting a 6-under during his three rounds.
That strong performance is certainly aided by what he did on Saturday. As Snedeker cruised onto the back with an even-par performance on the day, he was 4 under for the tournament and simply lurking around the leaders. (Although some of us were expecting a run.)
A birdie on the par-5 13th hole raised some eyebrows, and another birdie at the par-5 15th hole had everyone talking about Snedeker. He quickly stepped up to No. 16 and absolutely stuck his tee shot, setting himself up for a kick-in birdie to take a share of the lead at the time with Jason Day at 7 under. Subsequent strong efforts for par on Nos. 17 and 18 left Snedeker at 7 under heading into the clubhouse.
He hasn't been uneven by any stretch of the imagination. Despite being one of the more emotionally charged golfers on the Tour, Snedeker's game hasn't reflected anything other than calm, smart golf.
He has just six scores above par for the tournament, with five bogeys and a double bogey. That's thanks to a wise approach to an extremely difficult and "baiting" golf course at Augusta.
"This is a golf course that's baiting you into making mistakes. It's baiting you into going after a pin when you shouldn't go after it," Snedeker said. "And that's the one thing I've learned around here, is that you just gotta pick your spots. When you have a good number and a good feeling, you can be aggressive. Rest of the time, you've just got to kind of shift away and wait for those opportunities to come along."
All but one of those has come on the front nine, where Snedeker is "just" 1 under for the tournament.
If he can come out of the gates on Sunday the way he came out on Saturday -- a square-free front nine -- Snedeker is a very good bet to be the next lanky Southerner fitted for a green jacket.

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Prevent Giardia When Traveling
Topic Overview
Giardia lamblia (or Giardia intestinalis), the parasite that causes giardiasis, is found in all parts of the world. But your chances of becoming infected are highest in areas in which water treatment facilities are limited or general sanitation is poor. When traveling in these places or whenever you're uncertain about water quality, take these precautions:
- Use only boiled or bottled water for drinking, washing your hands, and brushing your teeth.
- Avoid raw fruits and vegetables whenever possible. (They may have been washed in contaminated water.) If you must eat them raw, peel them first.
- Don't use ice that may have been made from contaminated water.

With our local beer scene booming and more people catching the home brewing bug every day, it makes sense that just about every decent Twin Cities restaurant seems to understand the importance of curating a respectable beer list. But we've seen a wonderful growing trend of restaurants showcasing those local beers in a unique way by using them as the base or inspiration for everything from pot pies to puddings.

Experience the TransformationIt is really good to be able to switch between a giant robot and a vehicle anytime, at your own wish and that part of this game appeals to me the most. The combat system is also very good. As the story continues you can play the part of both the Autobots and the Decepticons any time you want, with all their unique powers. A very good game and plays on relatively older pcs (without graphics card also) also very well. The voice cast makes it much more original and real. you can free roam in the city, race (with a super speed using the nitro) around the city, break and smash whatever you want and… (Expand)

Very bad gameThis product was not good. The game is in slow motion and playing it is very difficult and insipid. It does not inspire one to continue with the game for lack of object and absence of nimbleness in the game. It defies every expectation one would expect of playing transformers game.
