Rational Expectations and Inflation (Third Edition)
This collection of essays uses the lens of rational expectations theory to examine how governments anticipate and plan for inflation, and provides insight into the pioneering research for which Thomas Sargent was awarded the 2011 Nobel Prize in economics. Rational expectations theory is based on the simple premise that people will use all the information available to them in making economic decisions, yet applying the theory to macroeconomics and econometrics is technically demanding. Here, Sargent engages with practical problems in economics in a less formal, noneconometric way, demonstrating how rational expectations can satisfactorily interpret a range of historical and contemporary events. He focuses on periods of actual or threatened depreciation in the value of a nation's currency. Drawing on historical attempts to counter inflation, from the French Revolution and the aftermath of World War I to the economic policies of Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan, Sargent finds that there is no purely monetary cure for inflation; rather, monetary and fiscal policies must be coordinated. This fully expanded edition of Rational Expectations and Inflation includes Sargent's 2011 Nobel lecture, "United States Then, Europe Now." It also features new articles on the macroeconomics of the French Revolution and government budget deficits.

Charles of Albret
Oct. 25, 1415
French Nobility, Constable of France. Also known as Charles II d'Albret. One of the ablest opponents of the English during the Hundred Years' War. He was Commander-in-Chief of the French forces at the Battle of Agincourt (October 25, 1415), and died in action. He was born into an old Gascon family with a history of serving England's interests in the Aquitaine. In 1368 his father, Arnaud, Lord of Albret, was one of the four Gascony nobles who rejected the authority of Edward "The Black Prince" and swore loyalty to the French king. This reactivated the Hundred Years' War between France and England. Young Charles had his first taste of war in Flanders with Charles VI at the Battle of Roosebeke (1382), and over the next quarter century continued his father's quest to drive the English out of southern France. He captured many enemy garrisons and by 1405 had helped extend French control beyond the Aquitaine to the Dordogne region and to Saintonge on the Atlantic coast. Succeeding Arnaud as Lord of Albret in 1401, he was named Constable of France in 1403. With King Charles increasingly debilitated by mental illness, Albret became a key player in a power struggle between his political party, the Armagnacs, and the Burgundians, who removed him as Constable in 1411. He resumed the post in 1413 after the Burgundians lost their influence. Albret was preparing for an English invasion months before Henry V landed in France in August 1415. Due to bickering among the nobility he was unable to prevent the siege and capture of Harfleur in September, but afterwards he and Marshal Boucicaut pursued Henry's forces north towards Calais and finally intercepted them on the road near Agincourt on October 24. They faced each other in a nearly 24-hour standoff. The English were outnumbered by at least 3 to 1 and exhausted after a difficult march; the Constable apparently hoped they could be starved into submission, or at least put at a disadvantage by having to initiate the fight. This strategy proved too prudent: it gave Henry time to judge the terrain and advance his men to their second position, which offered good natural defenses against superior numbers. Albret and Boucicaut also could not control the undisciplined, higher-ranking noblemen whose retinues formed a significant part of the French Army, and their battle plans were essentially ignored. When a hailstorm of English arrows goaded the French cavalry into charging, Albret had no choice but to follow. He was killed along with most of the first wave of French soldiers, and the battle ended in an overwhelming English victory. Constable Albret and 13 fellow nobles were buried together at a monastery church in the nearby town of Hesdin. The Spanish completely destroyed Hesdin in 1553 and the graves have long since disappeared.

**Thanks for the frontpage!**
Bounce on the platforms and collect stars. When the circle in the middle fills up, the direction of gravity will change. So watch out! Use the spacebar to float and make the transitions easier.
-Arrows keys or wasd to move.
-Space to float through the air.

So I made this game awhile ago and I'm super excited to finally release it, because it's been sitting on my comp doing nothing forever, so I hope you guys like it, it's nothing big but I wanted to make something smooth and fun, and I'm happy with the way it came out so enjoy!

Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Awesome man!
Yeah, this was actually lots of fun!
I must admit, it does get a bit repetitive after a while, but the change of gravity keeps it interesting. It was a bit slow, but maybe if you expanded on the idea, it could become something really fantastic and huge.
Great game, awesome graphics, and very smooth.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
good but
needs powerups or such, hope you kept the flash file. its awsome, but a little more could make it a daily feature.
Rated 4 / 5 stars
Gravity makes god's brain go kablooiee >.<
Well, honestly when i first played this, i only did so for all of about 10 seconds and just put it to sleep. That's before i came back and realized there was gravity. Gravity and balls makes my head spin, all the bouncin' and such.
The stars had no real point i dont think. i stopped playing after i lost solely because it was late and im tired. The game is fun and has an interesting concept. I would like to see more from you.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
this game was bad ass man, it was hard, but not frustrating. the visuals were smooth, and everything looked great. i dont have any complaints just one tip that i think would improve the game. maybe have some powerups or something, like slow the paddles or quicken the paddles, something like that. anyway great game.

MIRANDA v. CALIFORNIA
Annotate this Case
- Syllabus |
- Case
U.S. Supreme Court
MIRANDA v. CALIFORNIA , 486 U.S. 1038 (1988)
Adam MIRANDA
No. 87-6746
Supreme Court of the United States
May 31, 1988
Rehearing Denied Aug. 4, 1988.
See 487 U.S. 1246.
On petition for writ of certiorari to the Supreme Court of California.
The petition for a writ of certiorari is denied.
Justice MARSHALL, with whom Justice BRENNAN joins, dissenting.
Adhering to my view that the death penalty is in all circumstances cruel and unusual punishment prohibited by the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments, Gregg v. Georgia, 428 U.S. 153, 231-241, 2973- 2977 (1976) (MARSHALL, J., dissenting), I would grant the petition for writ of certiorari. But even if I did not hold this view, I would grant the petition because it raises the question whether the State may introduce evidence of unadjudicated criminal conduct at the sentencing phase of a capital trial.
A jury convicted petitioner Adam Miranda of first-degree murder and assault with intent to commit murder. At the sentencing phase of the trial, the only evidence the State introduced to support the death penalty concerned a wholly unrelated murder. Petitioner had been charged with committing this murder, but had not been tried for or convicted of the crime. Moreover, the trial court refused to instruct the jury that it could consider the evidence of the unrelated murder in making a sentencing determination only if it found beyond a reasonable doubt that petitioner had committed the offense. The jury imposed the death sentence.
I have stated twice this Term that the Court should consider the question whether the admission of of evidence of unadjudicated criminal conduct at the penalty phase of a capital trial violates the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments. See Williams v. Lynaugh, 484 U.S. 935 (1987) (dissenting from denial of certiorari); Devier v. Kemp, 484 U.S. 948 (1987) (dissenting from denial of certiorari). I have noted that this question has prompted a number of conflicting decisions nationwide. Compare State v. Bobo, 727 S.W.2d 945, 952-953 (Tenn.) (unadjudicated-crimes evidence not admissible), cert. denied, 484 U.S. 872 (1987), and State v. Bartholomew, 101 Wash.2d 631, 640-642, 683 P.2d 1079, 1085-1086 ( 1984) (en banc) (same), with Milton v. State, 599 S.W.2d 824, 827 (Tex. Crim.App.1980) (en banc) (unadjudicated-crimes evidence admissible). In addition, I have argued that the admission of unadjudicated-crimes evidence at the sentencing phase of a capital trial is difficult to reconcile with the unique constitutional concern for reliability in death sentencing proceedings. This case again demonstrates that the Court should resolve this important question.

I swear, I was JUST thinking about this when I woke up this morning: http://wow.joystiq.com/2012/03/29/breakfast-topic-how-would-you-redesign-the-old-character-models/ and thinking the same thing - they can change some things around, but please, please leave my Draenei girls alone.
...except, need updated hairstyles. No more 70s feathered looks, please. Please. Please.

~ EffyRepliesOh, Effy, I promise, cross my heart, I wasn't even thinking about any one character! Those hairstyles have bugged me for some time, and I've been pretty vocal. Get told "hair models are tough blah blah blah" and yes, there are the night elf girls with long flowing locks and frisky bangs....:)

One of the more interesting people I met at the Oxford Skoll meeting this year was Raja Moubarak, founder of Winquest. Raja is a seasoned business executive with senior level experience in multinationals (Coca-Cola, B&W/BAT, BOC Group, Societe Generale) in Europe, Asia and in multiple Middle East/North African countries (MENA), as an entrepreneur and as Managing Director of one of the oldest retail groups in the MENA region.
His idea is straightforward: he believe the Middle East/North Africa region is ripe for values-centered for-profit social enterprises that can both make plenty of money and deliver social benefits. With his long expertise in bringing products to this region, he's working to find connections with companies interested in expanding into this area. But, just companies that have social good as a crucial part of their DNA.
It's probably not a coincidence that the Obama Administration is focusing efforts on entrepreneurship in the Muslim world: there's nothing like jobs to provide a moderating influence on a society. [Plenty of other things would help, like education and more political openness, but successful business enteprises and jobs would be a great start!]
I know I'll be watching to see if Raja's bold idea takes root: seems like a promising approach to sustainable social good.

Per Peter King's twitter, he says the Jets would "at least" want a first-round pick for Revis.\
btw I don't follow him .. .saw it on rotoworld. ... don't follow them either

Woody is the owner and should be involved in every major decision that impacts the team.
He let the "football people" sign Revis, Scott, Harris, Pace and Sanchez to ridiculous contracts that has virtually crippled the team.
I think you will see him much more involved moving forward.
i would word it differently. i would say, revis does not have the most impact of any defensive player. revis may be the most talented, maybe, maybe not. but given the position he plays, he does not impact nearly as many plays as jj watt. and that's what's more important. sure revis can cover any wr. but he doesn't swat passes, doesn't clog passing lanes, doesn't stuff runs for losses and doesn't dictate the physicality of the line of scrimmage. he doesn't change pass protection schemes. he doesn't intimidate like watt does. that's what the revis camp on this site is overlooking. they see revis for his talent, not his overall impact. revis wouldn't help the jets beat the 49ers, b/c the 49ers would run that read option and revis would be nullified covering crabtree, then kap would start firing to davis and moss. he's not worth the money on this jets team.
This is a very sticky situation.
I am for trading Revis, but only for the king's ransom. The King's ransom is not what we will receive for him, because he is coming off of an torn ACL and we are not sure yet if he will be 100% the old Revis. We have no time to wait this out because he most likely will walk to the highest bidder in FA, and we not have, nor is he worth, the astronomical number it is assumed he will be asking for.
Do you get whatever you can for him this offseason? Do you wait it out and let him walk in FA? Do you try to negotiate a cap friendly deal with him and have 15-20% of your cap tied up into 2 cornerback without a franchise QB, pass rushers, or offensive weapons on the roster? What if Revis hardballs us during negotiations and he gets mad and walks to the highest bidder?
Idzik has his work cut out for him. I will not be the slightest bit of upset if Idzik decides to cut his losses and trade Revis this offseason to the highest bidder.
Agreed. It's nonsense to think that an owner would not be involved in decisions to trade/sign star players.And it would be suicide for any GM not to speak with an owner about such issues.
Also, LOL about people saying Woody is making football decisions and citing talk of trading Revis. It's not like this is some radical, new, out of left field idea.
On Mike and Mike this morning Brian Billick asserted that this may be part of the overall negotiation process. The Jets know that they do not want to pay Revis the kind of money he's looking for, but Revis thinks he's worth it. The solution, equate the dollar figure Revis wants with other players and trades i.e. Carson Palmer. Tell Revis' Agent that if the Raiders gave up a first and conditional 2d round pick for Carson Palmer, Revis should be worth at least as much and send him on his way to find a trading partner for the Jets. If he finds a team willing to bite, great. If not, well then I guess Revis is not worth as much as Carson Palmer. This also "tests" Revis' claim that he wants to remain a Jet. If he wants to bust the cap with his contract, he could care less about the Jets.
At some point in a player's career he has to balance three goals: 1) money; 2) winning; 3) staying with your team. Call me cynical but I really do believe that Revis is all about #1 and could care less about the rest. If he wants to win and/or stay with the Jets, he signs a cap friendly deal for less money than he can get elsewhere.
And they should. As I stated earlier a trade can be structured to get fair value.
The team trading for him will want him to sign a new deal. Ok. No biggie
Jets get a '13 #1. You then put in a % of plays Revis plays in '13. The higher the% the higher the '14 draft pick the Jets get.
It really isn't a difficult trade to make (of course the clueless moron media, writers, talking heads don't think or agree) once a team agrees on a new contract for Revis, which I'm sure the Jets/NFL will allow a window to negotiate.

Why cant the JETS just shut up about it?
We can only get less value each time Woody opens his mouth.
Sick of this unprofessional approach to everything
Here is a problem I see with this line of thought. Guys like Dlineman get measured by what they do. Guys like Revis are measured by what that other team does not do.
JJ Watt makes plays, has an effect but he does not totally take way the best player on the other side of the ball. Again I find it interesting is that people are talking about nullifying Revis. It is the other way around REvis will nullfiy your best receiver if playing man. He will often make you pay for going to his side playing zone.
In any case if they have no intention of playing him then they should explore trades. I do caution jets fans in thinking that because we had a good pass defense last year that Cromartie will always play at that level and that Landry will be around.
what a ****ing joke
We are not in cap problems because of potentially paying Revis, we are in cap problems because of Sanchez, holmes, David Harris. I have no problem with exploring a trade but I refuse to blame the guy for asking for market value, and getting paid when the jets have garbage on the roster they are paying handsomely.
even in today's pass happy nfl, a good pass rusher/run stuffer is worth more than an excellent cb. as we've seen with the giants, a very good pass rush can compensate for an average or a below average secondary. but a very good secondary can't overcome a bad pass rush. also, if the jets get behind in games, the other team is more likely to run the ball, which nullifies a lot of revis' value. watt has more value when his team is behind b/c he can stop those runs which are designed to eat clock. revis is still out there covering the wr and isn't impacting those games as much.
Folks, we had to all know this was coming.
He is the best trade bait on the team. He is the only player we have that most of the league would want. And we all know he is gonna wanna be paid like Nhamdi and we all know that the team should not tie that much money into one player.
He affords alot of luxury defensively, I totally agree. But this team is not in a position to spend the kind of money he wants. I dont think Johnson should be making these statements, but I do think the idea should be considered before we simply get outbid for Revis next season. I think this should come from Idzik.
Let the man you hired handle football stuff. Maybe Idzik can get a deal done to keep him, who knows. But realistically, we all HAD TO KNOW that this was gonna come up.
Personally, I been saying to my friends since he got injured that he would get traded. They keep him this year, and he plays well, he skates next season... for nothing! I am sorry but allowing THAT is just stupid.
What? You think his trade value drops because Woody said they will explore trading him as opposed to Idzik contacting each team and tell them over the phone that they are willing to listen to offers for Revis?
I love it when Jets fans spin everything the Jets say or do as a "terrible franchise ruining decision."

Switching between two different fractionally spaced subband adaptive equalisation structures
Weiss, S. and Mohamad, Hafizal and Hadef, M. (2002) Switching between two different fractionally spaced subband adaptive equalisation structures. In: IMA Conference on Mathematics in Communications, 2002-12-16 - 2002-12-18.
Full text not available in this repository. (Request a copy from the Strathclyde author)Abstract
This paper discusses methods for the fast adaptation of fractionally spaced equalisers. Subband methods offer advantages in adapting large scale equaliser, whereby two structures have been previously proposed. A first structure is faster, but can only be operated in training mode. A second structure permits the use in both training and decision directed mode at the cost of slower convergence. We propose and demonstrate a switching method to exploit the various benefits as best as possible.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
SunPower is expected to publish its Q4 2013 results on February 12, reporting on a quarter that saw strong global photovoltaic installations. During Q3 2013, the company's quarterly revenues remained almost flat year-over-year at around $657 million, while operating income grew from around $11 million in Q3 2012 to about $49 million, excluding one-time items. While we expect SunPower's results to improve on a year-over-year basis, driven by its large utility scale projects in North America, we will be watching the company's progress in the distributed generation market.
Trefis has a $28 price estimate for SunPower which is about 5% below the current market price.
See Our Complete Analysis For SunPower and First Solar
Distributed Solar Business In Focus
We believe that the distributed solar business could provide a lot of growth potential for SunPower going forward, considering the improving economics of rooftop solar, the availability of better financing options and the possibility of higher retail electricity prices which could make solar installations more compelling for customers of electric utilities (related: Why SunPower's Residential Solar Business Remains Important Despite Utility Scale Focus). SunPower has a competitive advantage in the distributed solar market, since its monocrystalline panels have a higher conversion efficiency and a smaller size (system capacity being equal), making them ideal for rooftops and space-constrained commercial installations.
Watching Leasing Business In North America: In North America, SunPower has been banking on its leasing business to drive growth in the residential solar market. The company had signed about 20,000 residential leases to date in the United States as of Q3 2013, with cumulative bookings of over 160 megawatts. Although the company still trails market leader Solar City in terms of installations (SunPower's lease customer base is about one-third of Solar City's), we believe that the company's panel technology and manufacturing capabilities should give it a long-term edge over Solar City. For this quarter, we will be watching the company's progress in adding new leasing contracts as well as the total bookings in terms of megawatts.
Sales In Japan's Rooftop Market: Japan is one of the fastest-growing solar markets in the world, driven by attractive government incentives. Installations in the country are largely geared towards distributed and rooftop solar since the utility-scale solar market faces some challenges due to a scarcity of land. Average solar systems prices in Japan are among the highest in the world, since customers tend to choose higher efficiency panels considering the smaller areas for installations on their rooftops. SunPower has been seeing strong demand in Japan of late, and mentioned that its shipments to the country grew by about 130% year-over-year during Q3 2013. The company has panel supply agreements with Sharp (Japan's largest solar panel vendor) and Toshiba and has also been customizing its panel designs for the Japanese market. Although SunPower does not break out the financials for its Japan business, we will be watching the company's revenues and gross margins in the Asia-Pacific region, which are primarily influenced by its performance in Japan.

New Hampshire Immigration
From Ancestry.com Wiki
Revision as of 11:42, 26 April 2010 by 22.214.171.124 (Talk)
This entry was originally written by George F. Sanborn Jr., FASG, and Alice Eichholz, Ph.D, CG for Red Book: American State, County, and Town Sources.
New Hampshire was not a significant port of immigration, even though thirty-two of its miles are on the Atlantic coast. In addition to a sizable French-Canadian and Atlantic-Canadian migration from the north, many of Massachusetts' immigrants found their way to New Hampshire for work in manufacturing in the late nineteenth century. The collections of the American-Canadian Genealogical Society Library, New Hampshire Historical Society, and New Hampshire State Library are excellent sources for research.

The New York-based audio electronics company Lexicon released its first digital reverb processor in 1971, a piece of recording gear that replicates the atmospheric echo of environments as small as a bathroom and as big as the Grand Canyon. The reverb units they have created since then, one of which was designed by a nuclear physicist, have won awards (including an Emmy) and some of the recording industry's most influential names like Alan Parsons (Dark Side of the Moon, Abbey Road) and Ken Lewis (Kanye West, Snoop Dogg, Jay-Z) endorse their products.

Board Leadership for Nurses: The First Steps
Dec 4, 2012, 9:00 AM
The Institute of Medicine's (IOM) Future of Nursing report recommends that nurses serve on boards and in other key leadership positions at every level, but getting a board appointment and taking on that responsibility can be daunting. In an article for American Nurse Today, RWJF Senior Adviser for Nursing Susan Hassmiller, PhD, RN, FAAN, offers advice for nurses looking to take the first steps toward board service.
Before considering board service, Hassmiller writes, consider creating a personal strategic plan and finding an organization outside your workplace with a mission and issues you support and understand. She suggests starting locally to find opportunities to serve in leadership positions, and building connections outside, as well as within, your profession.
"With activities taking place across the nation to make the IOM recommendations a reality, this may be one of the most exciting times in the history of nursing," Hassmiller writes. "Make the effort to do the work required to prepare for leadership and to step onto the first rungs of community board service—and beyond."

DL_DRAGGING notification code
Signals that the user has moved the mouse while dragging an item. DL_DRAGGING is also sent periodically during dragging even if the mouse is not moved. A drag list box sends this notification code to its parent window in the form of a drag list message. For more information, see Drag List Box Messages.
DL_DRAGGING pDragInfo = (LPARAM)(LPDRAGLISTINFO) lParam;
- wParam
The control identifier of the drag list box.
- lParam
A pointer to a DRAGLISTINFO structure that contains the DL_DRAGGING notification code, the handle to the drag list box, and the cursor position.
Return value
The return value determines the type of mouse cursor that the drag list should set; it can be the DL_STOPCURSOR, DL_COPYCURSOR, or DL_MOVECURSOR value. If any other value is returned, the cursor does not change.
A window procedure typically processes the DL_DRAGGING notification code by determining the item under the cursor and then drawing an insert icon. To retrieve the item under the cursor, use the LBItemFromPt function, specifying TRUE for the bAutoScroll parameter. This option causes the drag list box to scroll periodically if the cursor is above or below its client area. To draw the insert icon, use the DrawInsert function.

Today's opening of talks on Syria, brokered largely by Russia and the United States, is an important step toward ending the civil war in that critical Middle Eastern country.
The talks in Switzerland, under the auspices of the United Nations, will include representatives of the government of President Bashar Assad and some of the Syrian rebel groups as well as some of the international parties backing the government or the opposition. The negotiations are essential if there are to be any prospects of ending the destructive three-year conflict.
The stakes are not only the lives and well-being of the 23 million Syrians, but also general Middle East peace. Syria has borders with Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey, all of which have been involved in the war and provided assistance to Syrian refugees, and all of which have problems of their own.
The question of whether Iran would participate in the talks almost derailed them. Iran is a significant supporter of the Assad government, providing military aid directly and through the Lebanese Shiite political and military organization Hezbollah. As an important player in the Syrian affair, it should be present among the 39 countries invited. Excluding it is as unrealistic as excluding Israel. U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon invited Iran and Russia supported its invitation, but some of the Syrian rebels and the United States opposed Iran's presence. The U.N. withdrew Iran's invitation Monday, which will make success even harder to achieve.
Barriers to reaching agreement among the Syrian participants include intransigence on the part of the Assad government, which has been emboldened by recent successes on the battlefield. The Syrian opposition continues to splinter, consisting of fighting elements in Syria — some fighting each other — and talking elements in safe exile outside the country. Politically, the opposition ranges from radical Sunni Islamists, including al-Qaida adherents, to secular opponents of the Assad family.
The challenge to the international godfathers at the conference, including France, Qatar, Russia, Saudi Arabia and the United States, will be to make it clear to the Syrians, of all stripes, that they need to stop fighting and heal and rebuild their country if there is to be one.
At least they have begun to talk.

Kids these days. All we hear in the media is that they watch too much TV, are multitasking on their phones and play way too many video games.
But they also happen to be interested in the critical issues of our times, and produce great work.
My Audio Production class at the University of San Francisco is about producing audio, not food. Yet the importance of what we eat, where it comes from, and how we think about food are clearly topics of interest to today's university students, and several chose to tell stories about food topics relevant to them.
Below are four inspiring audio and audio-slideshow pieces about food, all produced by my students over the course of the semester. And while I believe they are worth bragging about, I also see them as a window into a world we often don't discuss in the media. A world in which our young adults are not only texting and tweeting with their friends on iphones, but are engaged and interested in the current issues and debates of our times.
The stories
- For his audio project, Sam Wilder actually took the time to build a sidewalk garden outside his apartment in San Francisco. He researched how to construct the boxes, where to get the wood, what kind of dirt to use, and what to grow. But along with growing greens, Sam inadvertently also created a space for those in his community to get to know one another, and to explore the world around them.
- Gigi del Rosario created a wonderful audio piece about "emotional eating" and why students and others often adopt unhealthy eating habits. She narrates the scene as her friend "John" overeats, and interviews Dr. Kate Gapinkski of UCSF about the reasons we eat too much.
- Moonui Choi crafted a visually-stunning slideshow and audio essay about the role of food in her family. She describes how food is intimately tied to the love she has for her mother, the woman who taught her everything she knows about food. (Plus, the photos are great!)
- Arielle Flinkman followed The Boneyard food truck on an evening out in San Francisco. In a world in which food trucks have become increasingly common, "Big Rich" of The Boneyard describes how hard work and great food has been key to his success.

What's the true story behind the number of poor performers in the Federal workforce? The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) study, "Poor Performers in Government: A Quest for the True Story," states that 3.7 percent of the Federal workforce are poor performers and 1.5 percent are rehabilitated poor performers. The study examines the common perception that there are too many poor performers in the Federal Government.
Peter D. Dickson, study coordinator, says this study provides a realistic perspective on poor performers in the Federal workforce. The study notes that by believing the Government workforce is overrun with poor performers, we are diverting our attention from other important issues and from developing a realistic approach to addressing poor performers.
Good management practices were the key to many of the successes in rehabilitating poor performers. In some cases, it took coaching and assigning employees to a mentor or advisor to help them improve their performance. In other cases, it took placing employees on performance improvement plans, giving the employees very candid counseling, and redefining and clarifying their work responsibilities. The study also notes that giving underperforming employees a less-than-fully satisfactory performance rating can be effective. In several instances, "last chance" agreements with poor performers produced results. (The "last chance" agreements provided confirmation that only two options were left and one of them was removal.) In cases where the employees lacked appropriate job skills, additional training or development helped.
Supervisors reported that discipline or removal of the poor performer served as a wake-up call to their marginal performers. Other benefits included improved employee morale, higher productivity, an increase in the supervisor's credibility with other employees, and restored faith that "the system" can and does work.
The study offers several recommendations, including —

Now that Facebook is fully supporting custom iFrame tabs and phasing out FBML and the Static FBML support, many page admins are wondering how best to add functionality to their iFrame tabs.
For example, how do you add popular FBML tags that facilitated interaction on Facebook, such as Reveal/Fan-Gating, Multi-Friend Invite, Share button, Like button and Comments.
Facebook Social Plugins to the Rescue!
Fortunately, a subset of the XFBML tags (a.k.a. Social Plugins) intended for use on websites to integrate them into Facebook's "social graph" also work great on iFrame tabs.
Now page admins can simply add a free iFrame tab application to their page, which makes adding a fan-gating feature very easy, and they can add Like buttons, Send buttons and/or Comments boxes to their tabs.
In this article, I'll explain how to add these three social plugins to your custom iFrame tab.
Generating the XFBML Tag code — Facebook does it for you!
You can get the code for the social plugins on Facebook's Social Plugins page. Just navigate to the tag you want, enter the options on that tag's page, and then click "Get Code."
If you're generating the Like button without the Send button, make sure you copy the XFBML version of the code (NOT the "iframe" version — it won't work) to your clipboard.
The Like button popup dialog box displays both iFrame and XFBML. USE XFBML!
#1: The Like button: From your tab to users' news feeds
The Like button is easily the most popular of the social plugins. You can have as many Like buttons on an iFrame tab as you want. For each Like button, you can specify a target URL, which can be a Facebook fan page or any other URL on the web. However, you cannot link to a specific fan page tab, only to the fan page itself.
Popup dialog when a user clicks the Like button.
Users have the option to add a personalized message in the Like dialog box that pops up when the Like button is clicked. If the user doesn't add a message, a simple text message posts to their wall with a link to the target URL in the image below:
However, if the user does add a message, their like will show up on their wall and news feed with their comment, your logo and a link to the target URL, PLUS:
- If the target URL is a Facebook fan page, the post will also include the company name and the About Box content (in the left column after the navigation), followed by " | Facebook":
What shows up in a user's news feed and wall if a custom message is added to the Like dialog.
- If the target URL is an external website, the wall post will use an image and content specified in that website's "meta" tags if they're specified in the code of the target URL. If they aren't specified, Facebook will grab a random image on the page, as well as random text. (Learn how to control images and text with meta tags.)
The image below is a wall post where the URL for the Like button has a meta-tag that specifies an image ("image_src") as well as a "description" meta-tag that supplies the text below the link.
#2: The Send button: Direct sharing/messaging
On April 25, 2011, one year after the introduction of Social Plugins, Facebook rolled out the Send button.
The Like button paired with the Send button.
Clicking on the Send button pops the above dialog.
The Send button alone, or paired with the Like button
There are two ways to implement the Send button: 1) paired with the Like button (as shown above), or 2) stand-alone. Use the Like button code generator to create a Like/Send combination by checking the "Send button" option in the code generator:
The Send button replaces "Share with Friends" and the FBML multi-friend selector
Back in the old days (pre-April 2011), pages could incorporate the FBML tag "fb:multi-friend-selector," which displayed pictures of your friends to click to select for the message:
And there was the "suggest to friends" text link near the top of the right column that popped a similar dialog box. It's actually still there (!), and you can select friends and click "send recommendations" … but the message never arrives.
The Send button now brings this feature back to Facebook pages, but much improved.
Direct messaging to Facebook friends, groups and email addresses
When a user clicks the Send button, a dialog pops up (as shown below) where users can enter their friends' names, Facebook groups or simply email addresses, and whatever message they send, plus the specified target URL.
- If sent to friends, they receive a Facebook message that includes your comments, the image associated with the URL and description (derived as described above for the Like button).
- If sent to a Facebook group, the message appears on the group's wall.
- If sent to an email address, the recipients receive an email with the subject line "conversation with [your name]", your added message and the URL.
Send button dialog: Enter Facebook friends, groups or email addresses.
#3: The Comments box: Improved
Facebook's comments box social plugin allows you to add a Comments box similar to the old FBML fb:comments tag, but much better, as it allows threaded discussions, and more closely replicates the wall.
Unique from the Like and Send buttons, you can specify a Facebook tab URL for each Comments box you create.
When you generate the code on the Comments box social plugins page, you don't need to have "http://www." in the URL field. Facebook will fill that in:
Clicking "Get Code" generates the XFBML you need for your tab.
There are a number of moderation features when using this plugin on an external website, but these don't seem to be available when the Comments box is on an iFrame tab.
Great opportunities for brands using custom iFrame tabs
These new and enhanced tags are just the beginning. I imagine that page admins will see a number of social plugin enhancements in the coming months. And we won't be missing FBML at all!
What do you think? Do you have any specific social plugins you'd like to see that haven't been developed yet? Leave your comments in the box below.

If Santa brought you an iPad this holiday season, you have probably already downloaded the necessities apps. You know, Words With Friends, Angry Birds, StumbleUpon – the fun stuff! Having a device that can be used for both business and fun is great, but if you need a little help finding out which iPad applications can help your day to day business, check out our list below. And don't worry, an MRIS app is coming!
Drop Box (file sharing application)
Drop Box was revered as one of the most important tools the agents used. It allowed them a simple way to synchronize files from their office, team, and even clients so they have access to documents from anywhere. It seemed that most agents were familiar with Drop Box and used this tool for document sharing and collaboration.
Evernote (notetaking, voice recording, organization tool)
Evernote was another popular app for the iPad. Many agents reported they use the tool to record meetings with clients and even lenders which has "covered their butt" when certain matters were disputed later on. The tool will be even more functional with the iPad 2 because, like the phone-based version, you will be able to take photos of your handwritten notes and it even tries to recognize the text to make it searchable.
LogMeIn (remote desktop management)
LogMeIn and another app called PocketCloud were revered as must-have tools that allow agents to access their desktop computers remotely from their iPad. This allowed access to documents and even the ability to run search applications on the computer.
PDF Expert (PDF document creator/editor)
One of the challenges with trying to mobilize an agent's business is dealing with contracts. Unfortunately most regulations prevent overlays as signatures, and this tool is no exception. That said, this was the most frequently recommended tool for reading, editing, creating PDF documents on the iPad. One suggestion I made was to edit a Word document and add the signature there, then generate a PDF document to get around the overlay issue. Some agents said this was possible and the Apple office apps, Pages and Numbers, were highly recommended. Some stated that in Notes you could save a document as PDF, so this is worth trying out. A tool called Prezi was also recommended for presentations and touted better than PowerPoint and Keynote, so check that out.
Posted by: Goomzee
Print n Share (network printer application for iPad)
Print n Share was a top recommended app for accessing networked printers (not just the HP Printers accessible by Air Print). A couple agents claimed they could choose to print a document or page and then print it as a PDF instead of to a printer, so that too could solve the overlay issue with the PDF documents.
TeamViewer Pro HD (collaborative remote desktop management and presentation tool)
TeamViewer was another recommended tool for collaborating with others and sharing documents, presentations and remotely controlling computers. Think of this like GoToMeeting for iPads. I haven't checked it out but was praised by many as a must-have tool.
Open Home Pro (visitor registration and survey tool for open houses and events)
Many agents have recommended this application and they set up their iPad at the entrance of a home asking for visitors to "sign in." This application acts as their virtual guestbook, and agents claim people are more likely to sign in with their iPad than pen/paper simply due to the coolness factor. The app will also email a Thank You and follow-up to the visitors, saving time from follow-ups. There may be other showing solutions that do this from the lock boxes, but those typically poll agents and not the guests. So this could be another way to build up your rolodex for current and future business.
Mortgage Calc Pro (mortgage and ammortization calculator)
The agents that used this tool said this was within dollars of the standard tools and very useful when out in the field.
HootSuite allow users to create numerous social network streams and view them in a clean, friendly interface, dispatching messages to multiple networks simultaneously.
Citrix Go To My PC
GoToMyPC for iPad makes it simple to control your computer while away from your work area, but the lack of multitasking support, and latency issues, may dampen the experience.
This post was inspired by RE Technology's iPad List and PC Magazine's Top 100 apps.

Our History
Montgomery College, Rockville, has celebrated student writing in the form of a literary journal since the late 1960's. The first three issues were called
The Duel.
In 1979, one issue of
The Montgomery College Review
appeared, and during the 1980's it morphed into
The Red Jacket
, which faded away; then emerged as
Van Gogh's Other Ear.
In the 1990's, it faded away again. In spring 2001, the journal because resurrected as
The Red Jacket
and the Department of English has published
The Red Jacket
since then. It is believed that the journal was named after a Native American
orator and chief of the Wolf clan. Red Jacket became famous as an orator, speaking for the rights of his people. He played a prominent role in negotiations with the new federal government. In 1792 he was heading a delegation of 50 people to Philadelphia where President George Washington
presented him with a special "peace medal", a large oval silver plate showing an image of Washington on the right hand side shaking his hand engraved upon it, below the inscription "George Washington", "Red Jacket", and "1792". Red Jacket wore this medal on his chest in every portrait painted of him.

Any safe harbors in Key West or Dry Tortugas
Planning to get to Key West for refueling and last minutes provisioning, any good places to stop? Need to a decent place to hide in case of bad weather, will stay for a good weather window to sail down to Cancun.
Let me know if you have some local knowledge. I will study Active Captain in the next few days. Looking at the weather, we are most likely will not heading to Keys start until next Monday when the wind dies down a bit. |
Re: Any safe harbors in Key West or Dry Tortugas
I am on a city mooring in Garrison Bight . At $315 per month for a 50 footer, I find it a good deal for dinghy dockage, showers, off the road parking , and pumpouts all inclusive. I just completed a catamaran delivery to Cancun , while leaving my boat there during 20kt northerlies and had people who watched after my dinghy and boat during my absence with no incident. I also weathered Sandy there with no problems. I anchored in 2 places when I first arrived , only to have several boats drag into me at Wisteria[Christmas] Island , and the west side of Fleming.
Re: Any safe harbors in Key West or Dry Tortugas
Well, you have Safe harbour Marina, My favorite and where I keep my dive boat. 3D boat yard has sea wall slips,There is another marina near 3d that has a new name, can't remember it. Andy Griffiths Marina, ocean side Marina, Key West Yacht club, to name a few Marinas. The moorings are good as stated above. The north west side of flemming is a good anchorage, the far side of frankfurt bank, I anchored off christmas tree
( wisteria) for years. My boat is anchord in striders cut over by Boca Chica. |
Re: Any safe harbors in Key West or Dry Tortugas
I am sailing south to tortugas in next week or so. If you have not been there, it is the most beautiful place in the us (my opinion of course). I would not do key west if you want truly protected. Boot key is better.
Tortugas is wide open and not a place to weather storms, though the seas stay mild due to the many reefs. Key west is much better. If you are not traveling with a family, I think you will enjoy it better too. It's a happening place. If you want to meet up, let me know. Brian |
Re: Any safe harbors in Key West or Dry Tortugas
Brian, I will keep Boot Key in mind. Looks good on the chart.
It looks like we will be in Dry Tortugas a few days earlier than you. I do't know how much weather window we will have. If the weather outlook is good we will hang out there for a few days. Do they have cell service there in DT? :) |
Re: Any safe harbors in Key West or Dry Tortugas
Re: Any safe harbors in Key West or Dry Tortugas
Re: Any safe harbors in Key West or Dry Tortugas
I don't know how xsboats did it, but I've done that run more times than I can count over the past 22 years and your description is how I usually do it. I start my crossing about 10 miles west of the marquesas. I have left out of the Fort however. When you do that, just head for Isla and you will end up on the west end of Cuba, then head for Cozumel, and you'll end up in Isla. When I let out of Key West ,I sail west till I pass the Marqueses, when they are just out of sight behind me I head for the west end of Cuba, Cabo Antonio) and I end up about 30 miles west of Havana. When the Gulf stream is at it's strongest I just start heading due south to get more speed over the ground and lose a little westing, I make up for it the next day with the counter current just out side the reef on the north coast of Cuba. I leave Key West at noon, this will put you with in sight of the mountains of Cuba at sun rise and it is a sight to behold. Each time I run down that coast I do it a little closer. The sun will set on ya as your running down that line, but the reef is well marked with a bunch irradically flashing white's. I'm usually makeing 7.5 knot's when I sling shot around the weat end Of Cuba, head south for 8 or 9 hours and make a rhumb line for Cozumel, that will put you in Isla the next morning. My record is 3.5 day's my longest is 5, but that was in late hurricane season with squirlly winds and ofcourse, I have no engine so there is that.
Re: Any safe harbors in Key West or Dry Tortugas
Excellent Captain Aaron, thanks the detailed writing up that I can really use. Any particular weather windows that i should looking for. I was thinking just to avoid any wind opposite to the Gulf Stream.
:) |
Re: Any safe harbors in Key West or Dry Tortugas
Captain Aaron,
I just checked the weather for next week for Yucatan Channel. It predicts with strong Northerly wind. I am thinking about skipping Isla Mujeres to Belize City. Have you sailed directly south following W84.4 degree after you pass Cabo de San Antonio, Cuba and head west after we get to N19 degree. By doing so we will totally avoid the GS and ride the countercurrent south and then west. On paper it will work, but I need some local knowledge. Thanks. |

The NFL licenses a lot of silly things (this creepy doll baby comes to mind), but this one might be the silliest.
The Redskins are offering this "Official Replica Outstanding Player Award Trophy Belt" for sale on the online team store. According to the listing, it's a replica of a WWE-style belt that was first presented to an unnamed "outstanding player of the game" after the Oakland win in September.
Replicated from the original trophy belt, from Pro-Belts each plate is cast in zinc alloy, plated in 18K gold and silver and mounted with studs and screws to the synthetic leather. The belt is 52″ long, weighs 6.5 lbs. and has 16 solid brass snaps on the hand embossed synthetic leather.
Oh, and it's $450.
Who would buy this? The answer is somebody. Somebody will buy this.

(written from a Production point of view)
The final book in a trilogy marking the 40th anniversary of Star Trek, focusing on the character of James T. Kirk.
- From the book jacket
- ... the lives of three men will be forever changed. In that split second, defined paradoxically by both salvation and loss, they will destroy the world and then restore it. Much had come before, and much would come after, but nothing would color their lives more than that one, isolated instant on the edge of forever.
- ... James T. Kirk, displaced in time, allows the love of his life to die in a traffic accident, thereby preserving Earth's history. Returning to the present, he continues a storied career as a starship captain, opening up the galaxy. But as he wanders among the stars, the incandescence that once filled his heart remains elusive.
- ... that haunts James T. Kirk throughout his life, he preserved the timeline at the cost of his happiness. Now, facing his own death, the very fabric of existence collapses across years and light years, forcing him to race against – and through – time itself, until he comes full circle to that one bright star by which his life has always steered.

If you want to hide the pathway on the front page, you simply have to wrap it in a piece of PHP code. Here is an example of the code all together:
<?php if ($option == "com_frontpage") { } else { ?>
<?php mosPathWay(); ?>
<?php } ?>
This returns nothing if the variable option = com_frontpage, and gives the code between the php tags if option is anything else than "com_frontpage". This variable can be exchanged with other variables if that is needed, but this works with the default homepage setting in mambo.

Mieko Mintz
Mieko Mintz signature collection of jackets is produced from a dizzying array of vintage sari kantha quilts.
Lu Flux is a delightfully playful and eccentric women's wear collection based on British eccentricity, and a love of traditional techniques combined with modern design. Working with complex pleating, knitting and patchwork, the company playfully combined one off fabric finds. Working predominately with salvaged and vintage materials rescued from textile recycling plants, as much for access to the quirky undervalued fabrics they favor, as for the sustainable benefit, Lu Flux also utilize British made, end of line materials that would otherwise go to waste.
Originally from the Isle of Wight, Lu studied design in Edinburgh College of Art, as well as assisted Bernhard Willhelm in Paris. Showing at London's eco conscious trade show Estethica, the brand was awarded the Innovation Award in conjunction with the Ethical Fashion Forum, as well as highlighted as 'Ones to Watch' in their February 2009 debut at Vauxhall Fashion Scouts.
Lu Flux simply couldn't be anything but English; their eccentric flights of fancy are intrinsically British. Their collection is the ubiquitous English, stop motion children's television program, Magic Roundabout come to life, with jackets pieced together from your grandfathers sweater vest collection and skirts made from your favorite childhood duvet. The insanity of the print and pattern mix adds to the charm of the collection, which is truly a dreamlike adventure, scattered with childhood memories and cultural metaphors. This is a clothing line surely made for Alice Horton, the dippy blonde from The Vicar of Dibley, who still believes in the tooth fairy, the Easter bunny and Father Christmas, using the curler laden head of iconic English washerwoman, Nora Batty from Last of the Summer Wine, as a style icon. This is a clothing line surely made for Alice, where a childlike dream world full of color and pattern collides with reality to brighten and color our waking moments.
The collection features iconic items, with oven mittens paired with a floral housecoat muumuu to make a wonderfully mad scarf, where a curtain pelmet becomes the trim to a jacket, and a kitsch holiday dishcloth adorned with vacation memories is refashioned into a skirt, and all the most unfashionable codes are made somehow cute and cool. A twisted Universe where sophistication and minimalism is boring, and playfulness is revered. Lu Flux repertoire of materials include iconic, dated, unfashionable items such as a floral housecoats, grandfather tweed jacket, maternal bedside rugs, and childhood quilts, mixed together Willy Wonky style and coming out the other end of some insane machine, fully formed and totally mad.
It is impossible not the love this collection, its naive charm totally wins you over, and whether you would wear it or not you cant help but smile just looking at it. The lunacy continues throughout all Lu Flux do, with models cut and paste into the quaint and over crowded world of a dolls house, and designs named the 'Bricklayer Waistcoat', the 'Chore Blouse' and the 'Rooftop Leggings', a collection laden with cultural codes and meaning, carefully cultivated over seasons, each season seeing a marked development in their very personal sense of style. Collections are aptly named 'A-Lu-Ha' or 'Everything But the Kitchen Sink', and can be bought direct from the Lu Flux website or through a range of retailers from London to Australia and Japan.

After revealing the cover art for his upcoming 4evaNaDay mixtape earlier today, we were wondering when the project's first leak would hit the web. And, sure enough, it's here in the form of "Boobie Miles," a smooth joint that's equal parts blues, jazz, and Southern boom-funk. It's not all about the production here, though. The Meridian, Miss. native throws on his storytelling cap to spit an uplifting tale about "playin' to the end" and giving your all. You know, tracks like these are what remind us all that, sure, K.R.I.T. might be blowing up and doing tracks with T.I., but he hasn't lost that blue-collar edge we all fell in love with a few years back. Stream "Boobie Miles" below. 4evaNaDay drops Feb. 20.

RecallMonkey is a new promising project by Mozilla Labs aiming at making it easier for you to find pages you have previously visited. Obviously, the addon is based on your Firefox history database, so it will only dig as deep as you let your browser access (you can change your browser history settings in Tools -> Options -> Privacy. There use the drop-down to select "Use custom settings for history").
Testing The Addon
Get the addon here (it requires no restart). Once you have it installed, access RecallMonkey using the icon in the Addon Bar or the shortcut Ctrl + Shift + M (Cmd + Shift + M for Macs).
The main thing the addon does is expand your search results. Your default history search tool (accessed with the Ctrl + H shortcut) can only search by exact match whereas RecallMonkey ranks pages in your web history "based on how closely your search query and document matches".
For example, searching my history for [software and tips] using the built-in option, I am only able to find MakeUseOf (because it has both the words in the title). Using RecallMonkey, I am getting dozens of results which are also very relevant.
Apart from this, the addon offers a few other options.
Filter By Time
With the default history search you can only sort by time. RecallMonkey uses Google-like date-filtering options that let you see results you visited:
- During the past 24 hours;
- Last week;
- Last month;
- Last year;
- All time
"Prioritize" Or Exclude Websites
Apart from time-frame-based filters, we are offered two more ways to control the results: prioritizing and excluding websites:
- By prioritizing a result (using a Reddit-like up arrow next to it), you are prompting the tool that you want to see more results from this domain;
- By excluding a result (using a + sign next to it), you are forcing the tool to filter this domain out from the search results.
For example, you remember that software review was on MakeUseOf, so you can prioritize MakeUseOf results (by clicking the up-arrow sign next to it):
You can also prioritize all your bookmarks in search results which also sounds like a great way to find results you once liked. This option should come in handy for bringing up pages which are hidden away in the bookmarks database (especially unsorted bookmarks which you saved years ago).
To conclude, this looks like an awesome tool. The fun features above coupled with Instant (as-you-type) search results and infinite scroll (the page adds results as you scroll to the bottom) make it almost as awesome as Google.
The best features of the tool which I really liked:
- The ability to dig deep into the search history and find results which only "mention" one of the search terms I was using (as well as the ability to retrieve local files that I opened in Firefox);
- The speed and user-friendly interface (which looks like the developers have adopted some great Google design trends)
What are your thoughts about the tool?

Excellent! From now I can really get rid of nonsense urls without name. Thanks for very helpful article.
Thanks, it's great to know the article is useful

I like your idea of moving Rios to centre and putting Wells in left , he can share time with Lind . I wonder if the turf at Roger's centre will aggravate Wells' condition . I was actually hoping Wells played in the WBC , last time he did he had a great season for the Jays , missing his usual slow start .
I hope they get all their injuries over with in spring training . I know injuries are part of the game but the last few years the Jays have had more than their fair share .
If you move wells out of CF i think RF is the first corner position you put him at. His defence will still be good enough for that position, more range and probably better arm than Snider. But if his injuries are the reason he cant play, then DH is where he is going to have to hit. His contract is too big for him to be sitting injured. At least have his bat in the lineup if your paying that much for him.
It's a shame that Wells can't seem to stay healthy anymore. Since it appears that it'll only take him 2 weeks to recover I say give him an extra one just to make sure. I think left or right field would be what's best for Wells, as has already been mentioned. Rios has obviously shown that he can play centre so the loss (if any) in defensive ability likely will not even be noticed. I don't know Snider well enough yet to be able to tell if he can handle right field as well as left.
That two weeks from Wells reminds me of another time he rushed back only to have a more serious injury as a result. I hope they give him the extra week or two.
I like the idea of Wells in LF as well, RH is Sniders normal position, so it makes sense to put Wells in left.
This is exactly why I didn't want a dedicated DH and I took a lot of heat here for stating that. All 4 of these guys can be rotated through the DH spot, with Wells getting more than his share at that spot. If we had signed some old guy for DH then 1 of the 4 of these potent bats would be out of the lineup everytime the DH played.
So if the rating is measured by page views, I guess that means we just have to hit the site and blog without signing in-is that the case or do we need to sign in. Let us know, were all motivated to get you to number uno.
JB, you are spot on with the idea of moving Wells. Since the first time I saw Rios in the minor leagues, I've thought he looked "center field" even with his stellar performance in right. The injuries in Wells' history make it hard to get too excited about a full season of production and he is critical to our success this year, so protect him a little. The idea of rotating four outfielders through the DH spot also has merit. It seems too early to relegate Lind to the DH spot and if somebody does go down, Millar seems a great addition. Man, I'm ready to get started!!!
It would be great to be there and watch Cecil take on the Yanks.
Good luck laddy.
