Mitt Romney Actually Doesn't Like Firing People That Much
Those he knows personally, anyway.
Thanks to his January gaffe (not to mention his years as a corporate raider), Mitt Romney is widely known as a guy who "[likes] being able to fire people." But, to hear some former (and current) employees tell it, Romney's image as a stone-cold pink slip machine is not entirely accurate. Over the course of his latest campaign, the Republican candidate has been known to put wayward staffers in time-out rather than cut them loose. This aversion to eliminating his own workers is apparently typical of Romney, reports today's New York Times — and it's not necessarily a good thing.
During Romney's 2008 campaign, his advertising team became a collection of "warring factions" with meetings that "devolved into angry shouting matches that stretched on for hours." As one aide, Jan van Lohuizen, recalled, "It was absolutely perfectly horrible and I have tried to completely repress it."
The solution seemed obvious: Mr. Romney needed to step in, untangle the egos and eliminate somebody. But he did not act. "The problem should have been resolved," Mr. van Lohuizen said. "It wasn't. He would have better off had it been."
Colleagues from every phase of his career said that Mr. Romney loathes pushing out people with whom he works closely and will do just about anything to avoid it — an approach that has inspired deep loyalty to him even as it has raised questions about his ability to make tough personnel calls, as presidents inevitably must. (Mr. Obama, for instance, is on his third chief of staff.)
One of Romney's top Olympics aides, Fraser Bullock, said his former boss often refrained from firing people out of concern for their future prospects: "'He personalizes the situation, from what I saw,' he said. 'It's "Oh, boy, what will happen to this person? Are they going to be able to get another job?'"
However, it seems that not all Romney employees are created equal. As governor of Massachusetts, Romney made a project of personally reviewing the state Republican Party's budget. At one point, he asked, "Do we really need to be spending $32,000 on a receptionist?" before suggesting they just get a voicemail system instead.

New trail opens in Cloudcroft
CLOUDCROFT, N.M. (AP) — A new trail in [auth] the Lincoln National Forest is officially open to the public.
The Alamogordo Daily News says (http://bit.ly/1tWH15z) the New Mexico Rails to Trails Association inaugurated the trail over the weekend.
President Grady Nicholson said during a ribbon-cutting ceremony Saturday that the trail is part of the original railroad bed that came through around 1900. The railroad connects Alamogordo to Cloudcroft.
Nicholson says the group funded a bridge to connect the new trail section to the Trestle Recreation Area Trails.
Bonnie Brooks, who owns the property the trail runs on, decided to deed it over to Rails to Trails.

The event was timed to coincide with National Trails Day.

Blas Riquelme
Blas Nicolás Riquelme Centurión (born 3 February 1929, Lambaré, died 2 September 2012; Asunción) was a Paraguayan politician and businessman.[1][2] He was a member of the Senate of Paraguay for the Colorado Party from 1989 to 2008, and was elected President of the party,[1] succeeding Luis María Argaña; he resigned in 1994.[3] He was a candidate in the Colorado Party's 1996 primary election for the 1998 presidential election, backed by Lino Oviedo.[4] He was leader of the Movimiento Tradicionalismo Democrático (TRADEM), and one of the major financiers of the Colorado Party.[5] He was President of the Chamber of Industry until 1984.[6]
As a businessman, Riquelme was director/president of a number of companies, including Cereales S.A. (flour and cereals); Cervecera Asunción S.A. and Cervecera Itapúa S.A. (beer); Cadena Real S.A. (supermarkets); Campo Morumbí S.A. (farming); and Cristalera Asunción S.A. (glass). He is also a major landowner. In 1985 he ordered the removal of 100 Mbayá people from his 75,000 hectare landholding in the Alto Paraná Department;[7] he had previously pressured them for ten years to leave their ancestral Paso Romero community, after he had purchased the property.[6] In 2012 the violent removal of occupying farmers from Riquelme's land in the Canindeyú Department sparked the impeachment of Fernando Lugo. He has been unsuccessfully sued by farmers alleging irregularities in his 1975 acquisition of land (under the dictatorship of Alfredo Stroessner),[8] following Truth and Justice Commission conclusions of irregularities.[9]

PCC does not require proof or documentation of computer literacy. It is the applicant's responsibility to ensure they are prepared to use computers prior to beginning the nursing program.
Tier I Admission Process: Application evaluation
*Applicants are evaluated using a 70 point system. Points can be earned in the following areas:
- Prerequisite GPA
- Completion of A&P sequence by the end of fall term prior to the application deadline
- Completion of all 45 prerequisite credits by the end of fall term prior to the application deadline

Please be aware that completion of nursing prerequisite requirements does not guarantee admission to a program.
*Please be aware that the selection criteria is under review for the 2017-2019 application year.
Tier II Admission Process: Proctored essay
Based on application point totals from Tier I, the top 160–200 applicants will be invited to participate in an on campus proctored essay worth up to 30 points. Essays are held at the Sylvania Campus. The 70 application points from Tier I will be added to the 30 essay points from Tier II to determine who will be offered a seat in the program. Up to 80 applicants with the highest combined point totals from Tier I & II will be offered a seat in the nursing program. Applicants will be notified in March of the date and time they are to attend the timed, proctored essay via their PCC email address. This is the only method of notification. Applicants who do not check their PCC email address should forward their PCC email address to one they check more frequently.
Please plan ahead when you get your assigned day and time so that you will have amble time to arrive on campus and park. We will not be able to offer alternate days and/or times during that week. You must attend the essay on your assigned day, at the assigned time. Applicants will be provided 2–3 essay questions at the time of their essay appointment.

Most Helpful
This was yummy. I used about 4 oz of cream cheese instead of heavy cream for health reasons. I also added mushrooms as another rater suggested. Creamy pesto deliciousness!
Excellent sauce! I served it over homemade gnocchi instead of linguine (just because I wanted to try it) and sliced up Roasted Pepper and Asagio chicken sausage in it along with the shrimp. Yummy!!
Really easy to make and great tasting. I had all the ingredients except fo the shrimp in the fridge. I cheated and used the small shrimp already peeled and deveined. I used more since they were smaller. This cut down the prep time but still gave the great flavor. My hubby also loved it and has requested it to be on the menu ... thanks LikeItLoveIt!

With 30 days left till the draft, we all know who the major prospects are because of their college performance, the Combine and Pro Days. How about the guys we have never heard of?
This guy definitely qualifies as a super sleeper:
The buzz continues to build around Boise State backup quarterback Mike Coughlin, who wowed scouts Thursday. One anonymous former Bronco, who played with Coughlin at Boise State and is now on an NFL roster, was not surprised by the events. He said Coughlin always showed the physical skills in practice and in his opinion the program would have done just as well with Coughlin under center as it has done with Kellen Moore. The quarterback-needy Seattle Seahawks have already scheduled a workout with the former Boise State backup.
For all you draftniks, who are your super sleepers?

There was a lot of debate earlier this month after Woody Allen was given a lifetime achievement award at the Golden Globes.
While many applauded the honor, some – including his ex, Mia Farrow, and their son, Ronan Farrow – were outraged, claiming it was inappropriate to laud a man who'd been accused of child molestation years ago.
Now the person who was at the center of those allegations – Allen and Farrow's adopted daughter, Dylan – is speaking out in an open letter published in part in the New York Times.
The charges arose in 1992, when the director was accused of touching the then-7-year-old inappropriately. He claimed that Farrow had come up with the allegations out of anger over his affair with her adopted daughter Soon-Yi Farrow Previn (who later became his wife). The claims were investigated, but a Connecticut prosecutor decided not to pursue charges because Dylan was too "fragile" to withstand a trial.
After a fierce custody battle, in 1993 a judge awarded Farrow custody of the children and denied Allen visitation with Dylan.
But Dylan – who previously spoke about the allegations in a Vanity Fair interview in October – claims in her letter (which can be read in full here) that the assault happened and it was far worse than people know.
"That torment was made worse by Hollywood," she continues. "All but a precious few (my heroes) turned a blind eye Each time I saw my abuser's face – on a poster, on a T-shirt, on television – I could only hide my panic until I found a place to be alone and fall apart."
Now 28, happily married and living in Florida under a different name, Dylan says she's speaking out because she wants to set the record straight. "I was thinking, if I don't speak out, I'll regret it on my death bed," she says.
"This time, I refuse to fall apart," she adds. "For so long, Woody Allen's acceptance silenced me. It felt like a personal rebuke, like the awards and accolades were a way to tell me to shut up and go away. But the survivors of sexual assault who have reached out to me have given me a reason to not be silent, if only so others know that they don't have to be silent either."

So 18 months ago, I custom ordered a Wilson Combat Professional. I wanted something that was unique, an heirloom if you will. A pistol that would be passed down to my youngest son. Something that would live on after I was gone that he would remind him of his Dad and how much I enjoyed firearms (I know -- very sappy)
Anyway, I was told 4 - 6 months for delivery when I ordered it. I paid my money and waited (not something I do very well - I am very impatient). Needless to say, I was getting very restless after the 7 month mark. I almost cancelled the order several times thinking I could spend the money elsewhere! Well, I finally got fed up and called my LGS and asked to cancel my order. They said no problem, we will refund your money and also give you first option to purchase it when it comes in. Well work was busy and I never went in to collect my money. Well a week later I get the call that it finally came in. Begrudgingly, I went in to look at it. Sure thatI would pass on it...When it was taken out of the packaging and unveiled, I was awestruck. Suddenly all of the impatience just disappeared. It was exactly what I had envisioned when I purchased ordered it.
So for your viewing pleasure here is my Wilson Combat Professional
For those of you who may wonder what the specs were:

AbstractFire Solutions LLC will demonstrate a vehicle crew fire protection system that utilizes both water mist and aqueous foam subsystems in a Phase I effort utilizing a steel simulated"Humvee"built by Naval Air Warfare Center, China Lake. The proposed crew fire protection system will function automatically even if vehicle power is disrupted, and will protect vehicle occupants against external pool fires as well as internal fire and deflagration events. Fire protection will be provided for a minimum of 10 minutes, regardless of vehicle orientationincluding rollovers. The system can be operated manually as well, with external manual activation possible for rescuers. Activation occurs upon sensing either rapid temperature rise or blast overpressure. Fire Solutions LLC water mist bottle units replace existing dry chemical and halon bottles. A minimum of 4 independent aqueous foam modules will be placed near but external to the crew compartment so that neither piping nor interior space will be required.

text: No bone loss compared to placebo Early evidence of improving bone mineral density in Androxal ® subjects THE WOODLANDS, Texas, Aug. 20, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Repros Therapeutics Inc. ® (Nasdaq:RPRX) today reported interim 6 month results from the first 150 subjects enrolled into the ongoing one year placebo controlled study to assess the impact of Androxal treatment of secondary hypogonadal men and its effect on bone mineral density. There is no evidence of a deleterious effect of Androxal on bone health and some evidence of improved bone mineral density. Study ZA-303 is a single blind placebo controlled study with an Androxal to placebo ratio of 2:1. Men assigned to Androxal were required to exhibit morning testosterone levels of <300 ng/dL on two consecutive mornings. Men assigned to placebo had to meet all the criteria of age (<60) and BMI (>25) of those men assigned to Androxal with the exception that their testosterone level could be in the normal range. At the 6 month time point, there is no evidence that Androxal reduces bone mineral density as assessed by DEXA scans. In addition, there is some evidence that Androxal may be beneficial to bone health. Overall, there is a consistent trend in many bone regions where an improvement of bone mineral density in comparison to placebo is observed. Subjects treated with 25 mg of Androxal exhibited a statistically significant increase in total hip bone mineral density compared to placebo (p = 0.0339). However, although one should be encouraged by these positive findings, clinically significant changes in bone mineral density generally require exposures longer than 6 months and early results do not always predict final results. Study ZA-303 also indicates that testosterone may be more influential in maintaining bone health than previously expected. Repros was surprised to find that a relatively high percentage of subjects, 12%, screen failed due to low bone mineral density in this relatively young population (mean age 48). Prev 0 of 2 Next

Hello there everyone, I'm currently trying to set up my site using the theme Sequel which is a parent theme for Twenty Fourteen, I'm trying to setup a Meta Slider to show at the top of the feature posts, I was able to find where to set-up the Meta Slider PHP code so that it would show,
<?php echo do_shortcode("[metaslider id=833]"); ?>, I placed it in the Homo.Php template underneath the,
<div id="main-content" class="main-content">, code in the home.php template. Unfortunately as you can see here, the Meta Slider tries to take up the entire page and ignores the left hand side, and starts beginning to place itself at the edge. Does anyone know how I can fix this so that MetaSlider actually begins on the white section, like the Featured content? Any help would be much appreciated!

Released: Mar 01st, 2006
Running Time: 89
Company: Bacchus Releasing
Cast: Deacon, David (III), Lex (II), Chris (III), Tony (II), Trevor (II), Jason (II), Shane (II), Others
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Gay and Bi
Possibly a compilation, five scenes look so different and have bits of story stuck in some of them. They're not bad. The first two start on Santa Monica Beach. Three stunning bunnies romp in the surf, then go home and discuss a slacker colleague (they're all lifeguards). Mature Mark goes for beer and returns to find Randy fucking Chip. He gives the two his big cock and untanned butt to suck. Chip fucks Randy. Randy fucks Mark. Mark fucks Chip. Bingo! Next, striking young blond Doug lures striking older blond Josh indoors where they rim, dildo, finger, and fuck each other silly. In Hollywood, a Middle Eastern porn-maker tries out an ambitious blond twink's active asshole, which sucks the man's load right out of him. On a dark street, a slim youth steals a car which he takes to a dark garage where a big hunk fucks him in the back seat. In a more brightly-lit garage, a tall, innocent-looking twink deftly talks an older bald guy into dicking his butt. The man bends to suck the twink's cock while fucking him.
Retailing: Fuck-fans will get hot from five very varied fun-fucks.

I'm looking for Genesis Emulator(windows would be nice but *ix would be fine) that can autoload a particular (homebrew) ROM and state on startup, any ideas?
The homebrew application is a communication tool for a disabled child, not a game.
The RetroCopy emulator doesn't autoload the game but there is an option to autoload a state once you load a game.
For other good Genesis/Mega Drive emulators see:
Genesis *nix emulator and the same program, with Megadrive support as well.
I use Gens. It doesn't autoload a state, although it's quite simple to associate the ROM's file extension with Gens, so that if the ROM were double clicked or if there were a shortcut to the ROM, it would auto-launch Gens.
If the last time you had Gens open, it was fullscreen then the game will open Gens in fullscreen. As far as the state goes, though, I'm thinking you'd be using one of the [F#] keys to manually save before you shut the emulator at the end of a session and loading the state would be as simple as touching the [F#] key assigned to load state.
It worked out easier to alter the ROM itself so that it always started in a particular configuration.

RBC Registers $12 Billion Covered-Bond Program After SEC Letter
Royal Bank of Canada won permission from the Securities and Exchange Commission to issue covered bonds as publicly registered securities in the U.S., potentially broadening the pool of investors for debt now sold through private placements.
The bank filed documents today for a mortgage-backed program under which it may issue as much as $12 billion of bonds. The SEC, in a so-called no-action letter posted on the agency's website at the request of the Montreal-based lender, said it won't penalize the bank for selling such debt as registered securities.
Sales conducted as private placements, known as 144A offerings, are restricted to qualified institutional buyers, have set trading limits and are excluded from the broadest benchmark indexes tracked by bond buyers. That can limit demand, depressing prices. The Financial Times earlier reported the SEC's response to RBC.
"This development will be viewed positively by the fixed-income market and is a positive step forward for the broader prospects" of U.S. dollar-denominated covered bonds, Ben Colice, head of covered bonds origination at the lender's RBC Capital Markets unit in New York, said in an e-mail.
Covered bonds are backed by both an issuer's repayment pledge and by assets, usually mortgages or public-sector loans, which remain on the lender's balance sheet and can be seized and sold after a default. The debt traces its roots back to sales in Prussia in 1769.
Foreign-Bank Sales
"Any different facts or conditions might require the division to reach a different conclusion," Raquel Fox, an attorney fellow at the SEC, said in the agency's May 18 letter to RBC. "Further, this response expresses the division's position on enforcement action only and does not express any legal conclusion on the question presented."
Foreign issuers have been raising more cash in the U.S. market as sales by the nation's banks remain frozen. Dollar-denominated sales by non-U.S. lenders this year have exceeded $23 billion, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
In Canada, the department of finance last month submitted a bill that would "establish a statutory covered-bond framework that provides legal certainty following an issuer's insolvency, minimum asset standards, and regulatory oversight, yet prohibits Canadian banks from issuing covered bonds backed by government-insured mortgages," according to Moody's Investors Service.
U.S. Changes Debated
"Royal Bank of Canada's program, which is the sole program that does not contain insured mortgages, will benefit from the protections the bill affords because it should be eligible to issue under the new law," analysts Todd Swanson and Yehudah Forster wrote in a May 7 report.
U.S. lawmakers have debated changes to covered-bond regulations that would encourage their use by the country's banks for more than four years.
Bank of America Corp., which issued both euro- and dollar-denominated debt, and Washington Mutual Inc. began tapping the market in 2006 before ending sales the next year during the financial crisis sparked by mortgage defaults.

Italy's election on Monday left the country in political chaos with no clear solution for managing its crippling fiscal crisis. Center-left party leader Pier Luigi Bersani is claiming the top post but will lack majority control in Parliament. Without the legislative body's full support, Bersani's push for continued austerity measures could falter. Senior Fellow Domenico Lombardi say this uncertainty is deeply troubling for the EU leadership.

Get Comfortable Shoes
If you're going to take up jogging you need comfortable, well-cushioned shoes.
"In a mile of jogging, a 150-pound person puts more than 300,000 pounds of stress on each foot," says orthopaedic surgeon Glenn Pfeffer, MD, assistant clinical professor at the University of California, San Francisco, Medical School. "A race car is only as good as its tires. If you're a jogger, get appropriate shoes."
The most important thing is to find shoes that fit your feet well, he says. That's more important than the label or model.
"In any industry you find a lot of marketing. If they could sell you a jogging shoe for Monday and a basketball shoe for Tuesday and a cross-trainer for Wednesday, they'd like that," he says. "For most people who are jogging as a recreational activity, many shoe styles can work, but good shoe fit is critical."
If possible, go to a shoe store where a trained professional is available to fit you, advises Robert B. Anderson, MD. "If you just pull shoes off the shelf yourself, you may not realize they're too short until problems develop." Anderson, an orthopaedic surgeon, is the chairman of the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society's public education committee.
To find the best shoes:
- Remember that your foot size varies throughout the day. Try on new shoes after you've exercised or at the end of the day.
- Take the same socks you'll use for jogging. They should fit well, be made without seams, and have a fair amount of cotton. If you use extra-thick socks while running, select shoes with enough room.
- Fit the shoe to your longest toe, which is often your second toe. You should have at least 1/4 inch of space beyond your longest toe.
- The shoe should grip your heel firmly.
- While the shoe is on your foot, you should be able to wiggle all your toes.
- Shoes should be comfortable when you first try them on. Don't buy shoes and plan to "break them in" by wearing them.

Craft a wardrobe of medieval armor with DIY chainmail.
Henrik Olsgaard, aka Henrik of Havn, has been proclaimed King of the West six times. Obviously the guy is deft with a sword — you don't get to be King in the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) without winning several bouts in the annual Crown Tournament. But his triumph is also testimony to his skill at making chainmail. Henrik has been fashioning chainmail of every description for the past four decades — from beautiful, sterling silver belts to a 50-pound battle hauberk (a knee-length shirt).
And now, I'm going to teach you what he taught me: how to make your own chainmail. With just a few basic patterns, you'll have all the knowledge you need to fashion a helmet, shirt, belt, coin purse, and even a full hauberk.
Once you have a few hundred rings, you're ready to start knitting (for reference, a full hauberk takes about 10,200 rings). To do this, you'll start by creating a small length of chain using 2 needlenose pliers to open and close each ring — this is the knitting part. When you pull the rings open, be sure to open them sideways.
Now that you're practiced, you're ready to pick a pattern and start making something other than a square or triangular swatch. The image shows how triangles and squares can fit together to create other shapes. There are several sites that offer patterns you can choose from, including http://theringlord.com, which sells armor supplies and pattern books and hosts a community forum, as does http://artofchainmail.com.
Henrik says that the best part of chainmail making is getting a chance to wear and use it with friends. "I don't like getting in front of paying audiences to do this," he explains. "I like to share what I've done at SCA tournaments and places where everybody participates in the event." And that's where I find him, in full armor, a few weeks after our lesson.

$50 Pyramid
Talk-show host, MC, and barroom ringmaster Ian Rans is putting a new spin on the ubiquitous bar trivia with his riff on the classic game show The $10,000 Pyramid. The original series, which aired for a decade and a half, pitted two contestants against one another in a challenge to guess words and category names based on clues provided by a celebrity partner. (Think of the game Taboo but with B-list TV stars.) Rans's version of the show, which gives two rounds of two contestants a chance to win a $50 bar tab, has been a hit with players and the spectators alike, he says. Participants are chosen from the audience (to sign up early, send emails to [email protected]) to team up with Twin Cities celebrities—local notables appearing thus far have included former Von Bondies rocker and current Pink Mink bandleader Christy Hunt, burlesque dancer Ophelia Flame, comedians Patrick Bauer and Chris Maddock of the Minneapolis Comedy Death Squad, and piano madman Mark Mallman. "It's a dark, more sardonic version of The $10,000 Pyramid," Rans says. "[Recently] I think the best round was 'Things You Don't Want to Find in Porn.'" What would Dick Clark say?

Box Office: 'The Dark Knight Rises' faces little competition from 'The Watch'
Studio executives are looking at this weekend's box office to see if there will be any continuing effects on moviegoer attendance following the shooting at a "Dark Knight Rises" screening just over one week ago. While pollsters say there is still a segment who are staying away for now, Friday's box office will also fall victim to big ratings expected for NBC's broadcast of the London Olympics Opening Ceremony.
Easily holding on to the top spot is the aforementioned "Rises" which pulled in another $18 million for $243 million in just 10 days. That's certainly behind the $261.4 million "The Dark Knight" had at the exact same juncture of its release in 2008, but Warner Bros. is obviously hoping the audience that was desperate to see it before the shooting will slowly return over the course of a relatively uncompetitive July and August release schedule. That being said, the studio is likely hoping to just clear $400 million domestic at this point and hit the $1 billion mark globally.
The first disappointing debut Friday is "Step Up Revolution." The fourth film in the "Step Up" franchise grossed just $4.8 million for what should be a $12-13 million three-day. That would actually be the lowest opening in the series under "Step Up 3's" $15.8 million just two years ago. "Step Up 3's" performance was so discouraging, it actually convinced Summit Entertainment to take back domestic control of the franchise from Walt Disney Studios. Clearly, interest in the franchise is significantly less without the involvement of Channing Tatum who appeared in the first two installments.
Perhaps more shocking is the third place opening of 20th Century Fox's "The Watch." The R-rated comedy stars Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn and Jonah Hill, but grossed a paltry $4.5 million on Friday for what could be a $12-13 million weekend. "The Watch" looks like it will be the worst opening for Stiller since 2007's "The Heartbreak Kid" and Vaughn's second misfire since Ron Howard's "The Dilemma" bombed last year. Fox clearly couldn't communicate the alien subplot, the raunchy humor or just make it look legitimately funny to moviegoers.
Rounding out the top five were "Ice Age: Continental Drift" with $4 million and $105 million to date and Seth McFarlane's "Ted" with another $2.2 million and $188 million to date.
Look for complete weekend estimates tomorrow on HitFix.

I think that it looks like people are watching and enjoying life if they´re in kind of entertainment show. It doesn´t feel good.
