Enjoy the unique atmosphere of Châtel, a traditional styled mountain village which, in winter, transforms into ski resort. The village has been carefully developed in order to keep all the old charm and character but at the same time offering all the modern amenities of a new ski resort. The soul of vibrant Châtel along with the quality of the skiing and its personal charm continue to shape its identity and ever growing reputation. If the seduction of traditional architecture and fabulous setting of Châtel weren't enough, then the quality of the skiing area also contributes a lot to the attractiveness of the resort. The skiing is separated between two different mountain ranges: Super-Châtel / Barbossine and Linga / Pre la Joux / Plain Dranse. Since Châtel is part of the Portes du Soleil area, there are direct links with the resorts of Avoriaz, Morgins and Torgon to name but a few. The international ski area, the Portes du Soleil combines twelve French and Swiss resorts. The total area boasts 650 km of ski runs with around two hundred ski lifts! The exceptional Portes du Soleil has skiing for all and certainly delivers a comprehensive view of why skiing can be so pleasurable. Nestled between Lake Geneva and Mont Blanc, the Portes du Soleil also benefits from exceptional snowfall. Rails, kickers, slide boxes, hips, boarder cross... The Smoothpark has them all and is awaiting the new freestylers from beginner to pro. The park has been developed to allow all skiers to develop and practice in a fun and friendly environment (Music, BBQs, Contests...)! Châtel is a great family-oriented resort and is officially recognized as such. They have been rewarded the French Family Plus certificate. For a stress free family ski vacation and also the well-being of your children, the day-care "The Mouflets" welcomes kids from 3 months to 6 years old. The centre provides a range of activities both indoors and out. Every week of the ski season there is a multitude of recreational and leisure activities organised in the town, as well as new sports to be tried out. Before you pack your bags you should expect to eat very well in the resorts great array of restaurants offering a taste of the local cuisine.

University of Nevada, Reno Assistant Professor in the Department of Biology, Alex Keene, received a National Institutes of Health R01 award to research the role of neural translin in metabolic control of sleep. He will receive more than $1.4 million throughout the next five years to identify and characterize genes which are involved with integrating sleep and metabolism.
According to Keene, epidemiological studies reveal a strong link between sleep and metabolism but little is known about how these processes are integrated. People who are chronically sleep deprived are much more likely to develop diabetes and heart disease. By studying fruit flies he will be able to gain scientific insight into this link. Keene has used genetic screening to identify the gene translin in regulating metabolism.
"Even though flies look very different than us, their genes are very similar," Keene said. "A number of genes that are critical for regulating our sleep and daily activity cycles were first identified in the fruit fly."
Last year Keene received a National Institutes of Health R15 grant to study the role of insulin in regulating sleep in flies and a National Science Foundation to study the evolution of sleep in the Mexican cavefish Mexican cavefish.
"The competition for funding from the National Institutes of Health and National Sciences Foundation is incredibly fierce and only a small percentage of submitted proposals are successful," Jack Hayes, professor and acting chair of the biology department, said. "The National Institutes of Health RO1 award is the gold standard of individual investigator awards. Simultaneously getting three nationally competitive grants is truly impressive."
Keene is also one of five faculty members at the University who are part of a five year, $10 million dollar Center of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) research grant to build a Center for Neuroscience at the University of Nevada, Reno. COBRE supports junior faculty's neuroscience research in the College of Liberal Arts, College of Science and College of Engineering. As part of this grant, Keene has been researching how memories are affected by sleep deprivation. According to Keene, the COBRE funding helped him collect preliminary data for his R01 proposal and brought together colleagues in different departments using integrative approaches to understand brain function.
"I was very excited," Keene said. "I'm very grateful for receiving this research support. We firmly believe this basic research has potential improve our understanding of diabetes and obesity. We will work very hard over the next five years to make the most of this opportunity"

The SpiritLed Woman podcast is empowering women weekly to follow their purpose in Christ and boldly walk in faith. Listen at charismapodcastnetwork.com.
- There is no shift in custody at the time of remarriage.
- Both families approve of the remarriage.
- Children have contact with both their biological parents.
- Acrimony over the children is not present between ex-spouses.
- The stepdaughter is not adolescent. Daughters ages 9 to 15 have more problems adjusting to stepparents.
- Time is taken to adjust (usually between two to five years).
- The problems of stepmoms are recognized and validated.
- Mutual courtesy between stepmom and children, rather than mutual love, is the immediate goal.
- The biological parent handles serious discipline issues well.
Of course, many of you don't have these things going for you. But don't despair! There is still much that can be done to ease the blending of families. If you are a stepmom undergoing family adjustment, consider these strategies:
Continue to resolve all divorce issues. When issues of loss surface (and they will), freely discuss them. Loss is an ongoing process due to celebrations and life transitions such as graduations, weddings, births and so on that will require you to interface with the biological parents.
Give up the idea that you won't have difficulty. The biblical promise is that you will overcome problems, not avoid them.
Talk about feelings--guilt, anger, loyalties and so on. Validating feelings and not being afraid to allow others to express them is very important and goes a long way in helping family members feel supported.
Find a way to work with the biological mom. This will require prayer and humility--and may be a test of your Christlike character.
Be aware that problems with ex-spouses usually involve money, jealousy, competition and unresolved divorce issues. Clarify and resolve these issues.
Negotiate your relationship with the children. Successful discipline occurs after stepfamily integration. When possible, support the biological parent.
Understand that you married your husband because you love him. You may not love the children at first--and may have to work on this. Ask God to put a love in your heart for them.
You have more to cope with than intact families. You should understand this before you remarry. In most cases, children are forever tied to the biological couple.
Keep your relationship with God strong, intimate and growing. You need His strength, love and wisdom.
Pray for the newly constituted family and the biological mother.
Stepmoms often ask in therapy why no one appreciates the load they bear. The answer has to do with the preoccupation of other family members with their own adjustments. In addition, women typically take responsibility for family relationships. Consequently, others expect them to carry the burden and be strong.
You may not always feel strong, and that's OK. Know that you aren't alone in your time of adjustment. God sees your difficulty and has the wisdom necessary to handle family matters.
Approach your loving heavenly Father. Ask for discernment and godly character in order to respond to each situation in a Christlike manner. He will give you what you need to be victorious.

A Marketing Professional with MAD social skills!
As the Interim Marketing Director of C.A. Short Company, I am building the Marketing Team to rival all Marketing Teams!
Previously, as the Marketing Director for Aviv Moon Productions, I implemented and trained my staff in the creation of automated program marketing, e-commerce/CRM software integration, and new product development (including brand development in general).
One way that I have instilled a high morale and company loyalty within my staff is by leading with a motto that is, "A good idea is a good idea, it doesn't have to be mine." I believe in giving credit where credit is due and when a team member fails – the responsiblity is on me as the leader. I view mistakes by my staff as a learning experience – the first time it is made that is.
I coined the marketing term "unexpecting demographic." (Speaking your own language and making up words off the cuff pays off sometimes.) Best described as when you purposely reach an audience that does not fit within your demographic and does not see it coming! It's marketing magic!!!
Turning "friends" into customers!

"If analyzing source code can really prove or disprove scientific results,"
Why should we assume that it cannot? If we have an accurate mathematical model of a scientific process, then software can reveal insight and even proofs for scientific processes that wouldn't otherwise be conceived. However in order for an implementation's results to be valid, the authors source code ought to be peer reviewed.
It's true that one might get away with publishing pseudo code or even logic charts instead of real code. But if the goal is to reduce errors and encourage 3rd parties to validate the work, the inclusion of real code is nice.
"we would already have this whole software business completely automated with software that writes itself."
At an abstract level, I'd argue that's what a compiler does already: it takes a specification written in one language and builds binary software implementing that specification. I guess you might have been thinking compiling software from an English spec, but there are at least two obstacles with that.
1 - English is ambiguous and it takes a lot of words to exactly describe a process that computer languages can nail down exactly. A thought experiment would be to stick 10 qualified programmers in 10 black boxes, give them an english spec, and see how different their work is. Now if we give those same programmers specs written in one computer language, and force them to translate them into another computer language, with any luck they'd still end up with functionally identical work because computer languages are so concise. (We should play the "telephone game" with computer languages!)
2 - English speakers have shared knowledge due to shared human experiences and contextual knowledge. This enables them to gloss over a great deal of information that would otherwise lead to holes in an english spec.
Sorry my response has gone way off topic, but the point is the lack of english language compilers is no reason to negate the scientific merit of computer source code proofs.
Do you know what sort of effort it required to prove that a computer program is mathematically correct?
We are going into the Vienna Developer Method territory. Which is totally irrelevant anyway.
The whole point is that the information in the paper should be sufficient to reproduce the results, ... you are putting the cart before the horse.
If formulae and relevant parts of the algorithm are described (pseudo-code is pretty good IMHO, and I write my proper code first as pseudo code) is more than sufficient.

Lots of negative consequences for companies in crisis
A crisis such as the one General Motors is suffering through has all kinds of negative consequences. And not just the obvious ones.
For instance, top management at Cadillac appears to be distracted at a time when the struggling luxury brand badly needs leadership.
Cadillac dealers have complained that global brand chief Bob Ferguson is spending too much time dealing with the fallout of the ignition-switch recall. They want stability at the top.
U.S. sales chief Bill Peffer recently left after less than 10 months on the job -- the third head of sales to depart in two years. Cadillac sales have been disappointing this year and dealers are wondering who is in charge.
Ferguson has been Cadillac's global brand chief since October 2012, but he is also GM's former top lobbyist and his expertise is much needed in Washington these days.
This was supposed to be the time for a stable team of Cadillac executives to build the brand around the globe and go head-to-head with BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi. Instead, GM looks like it must assemble yet another new Cadillac management team.
The situation is precisely the kind of thing that happens to a company in crisis -- when its leaders must devote whatever resources are needed to save the enterprise.
Of course, GM is playing defense. Any offensive efforts must be secondary until the crisis is resolved. But while managing the crisis GM must make sure that Cadillac -- and its dealers -- aren't lost in the shuffle.

Under terms of the new agreement, Wells Fargo becomes the exclusive retail banking and commercial lending sponsor of MLS.

Get Your Dog Care Questions Answered by Experts
Hello and Thank You for contacting JustAnswer
I am so sorry this is happening to your boy, I too am owned by a shih-tzu so I can imagine how heartbreaking this is.
Can you tell me how many times this has happened?
How long are they lasting?
When was his last blood work?
Any other odd behaviors or change in eating or drinking
They really are the best, XXXXX XXXXX 4 dogs but he by far is the one who owns my heart.
This really does sound like seizure activity.
When senior dogs develop seizures they are most commonly caused by a problem with the liver, kidneys, diabetes or changes in the brain.While these are the most common causes often no actual cause can be found and all we can do is try to manage them.
It depends on the individual vet as to whether blood work is included in the senior exam. They should have also done blood work before his tooth extraction as the kidneys and liver are the organs responsible for filtering the anesthesia.
If he has had around 6 episodes a week apart this would be fairly close to the time of his tooth extraction so I would ask if blood work was done then.
Once a pet begins having seizures and they have more then 2 in a 3 month period anti seizure medication is often warranted.
Here is more information on seizures
I would suggest calling your vet and having him seen as soon as possible. It is very important to try to prevent any additional seizures as these can lead to permanent damage to the brain, dangerous elevations in body temperature and can eventually lead to a seizure that he is unable to come out of. Your vet will do blood work to see if any of the above problems are the cause and may recommend medication such as phenobarbital to control the seizures.
I really hope your boy is ok, please let me know what the vet says if you have him seen.
Please reply back if you have additional questions or concern.

ESOP Planning & Advisory
An Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) is a tax-qualified, deferred compensation employee benefit plan in which assets are invested primarily in the securities of the sponsoring employer. ESOPs are often the most tax-efficient method for funding a transition of ownership. Regulated by the U.S. Department of Labor through laws provided in the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), these regulations generally require that all nonunion employees participate in the ESOP.
While ESOPs can be tax-efficient, company owners should also consider whether an ESOP is the most effective structure for their company. The legal and regulatory issues can be complex, and ownership is required to be spread among all nonunion employees, in contrast to the more typical structure where ownership is concentrated in a single owner, the management team or in a family. Choosing the ESOP structure will alter the ownership incentives and generally change the financial reporting practices.
FMI has deep knowledge and experience of the nuances of ESOPs and their application for engineering and construction firms. Through advising clients on ESOP transactions, as well as through our other financial advisory and investment banking services, our professionals have a distinct advantage of being an unbiased trusted advisor who can help determine the best solution for our clients.
To help a client evaluate an ESOP for his/her company, FMI performs an ESOP feasibility analysis and makes recommendations for how the company may want to structure the ESOP. The areas addressed in a feasibility analysis include:
- Overview of how the ESOP can be structured and how it functions
- Funding of the ESOP, payroll analysis and company retirement planning
- Vesting schedules for employee participation
- Percentage of the company's stock to be owned by the ESOP
- Impact on ownership strategy and funding Impact on the balance sheet and bonding
- Repurchase liability for retiring and terminating participants
- ESOP modeling and examples for the company
- Advantages and disadvantages

As we often focus on sunglasses, getting a look away from the major brands and celebrity styles is sometimes necessary. Locally, we stopped by a fashion show last week, the 3rd Annual Wear What You Fear Fashion Show in Branford, Conn., which featured celebrity stylist and designer Ricky "Trendy" Da'Vista and America's Next Top Model's Bianca Golden and was hosted by Millionaire Models.
Da'Vista, a wardrobe stylist whose eyewear and accessories have been seen on Lil Kim and Tionna Smalls (What Chili Wants 2) and is currently working with Love and Hip-Hop Season 2's Somaya Reece, has an eponymous line, Da'Vista shades, which unveiled its third collection on March 10. At the show, when asked about transitioning from styling to designing sunglasses, he mentioned: It's something different; you know, something that adds to the outfit.
In discussing his career, Da'Vista said he's expanding to children's eyewear, which was featured in the fashion show, and mentioned he would like to be a stylist for Jay-Z and Beyonce. However, in terms of doing both roles, he said: "Actually, it's crazy, because I have a full-time job, nine to five, stylist, and eyewear designer. It's my passion, so I do it all."
Da'Vista's collection, which was the finale of the fashion show, goes against trends, in a sense. As we've talked on here, neutral, unisex looks are the "it" style for eyewear – that pair of black wayfarers or mirrored aviators that goes with just about anything. Da'Vista, on the other hand, fulfills the unisex component but, using a shield style as his template, embellishes each frame with studs and rhinestones, as can be seen in the picture above.
Yet, unlike those tacky, oversized Juicy Couture shades you sported in 2004 (yes, you know you had a pair), Da'Vista doesn't go overboard with colors and gradient lenses. The embellishments are the primary draw and ostentatious colors don't create a clashing appearance.
Several other designers presented before Da'Vista, rolling out their latest collections of clothing, shoes, and accessories. Out of this group, Kozby World by Kola Zubair stood out for its refined style, while Ashlei Banks' Spike Intuition gives high heels the look Da'Vista gives to sunglasses. Da'Vista was also the show's producer and, regarding the group of designers chosen, he said: "[T]hey're up-and-coming, they're amazing, they're very edgy. They have what it takes to be a part of this fashion show."

I agree with Adam about this Soapbox. I finished most of the games that I own. I finished the main story in Oblivion and I still play the game sometimes to play the side quests in the game.

The only game in recent memory that I waited for bought and played through but didnt finish was Final Fantasy XIII. I got all the way to the last boss and thought, what the hell am i doing this game is crap and i really dont care how it ends. Normally tho i will play through and finish almost every game i buy and try to do all the extra stuff too.

at one stage i made an effort to complete my games. Although now i look back on my library, i see a lot of games i haven't finished... some i just lost interest in but i find when i get entranced in a decent games (or a book, tv series for that matter) story and lore, i subconsciously don't want the story to end. (i had my save on the Witcher 2 at the last market area for a week before i finished the game. I knew the ending was imminent and i just wasn't ready for the narrative to end)

I just got R D Redemption last week and just finished it an hour ago (not 100%, but all the story and about half of the extras)... so I'm one of those people, although I do typically finish at least half of my single player games once I start them (I hate multiplayer outside of MMOs). But typically a single player campaign on a console today has a main storyline, side storylines, and achivements... so actually completing a game 100% is likely a rare event, but I don't think developers expect that.
I think that 10% number is incorrect, even for RDR, but I'm not suprised that it's below 50% (the later part of the article gives a counterpoint that it's closer to 40 to 50% nowadays). When you look at games in the 80's and how difficult and time consuming those games were VS today with how easy and short most single player games are, I would think that alone would make the number somewhat higher. And it also shows that the developers over time have seen the light and have adapted to play styles. The problem to me has been the $60 price tag on new games and because of that they have to shove in a multiplayer, and non-important extra content/DLC, and achivements, etc... and also they can nickle and dime players through DLC.
So when you put enough things in to sidetrack a player from the main goal (which seemed to be more than half of what I was doing in RDR) it does take more time to complete, but the single player campaigns have been dumbed down so much that I think it evens out and we may be at a sweet spot of around 40% completion.
The article tends to blame social networking and the internet, as well as the aging gamer for the lack of completion... but why would one buy into the game if they didn't have the time for it in the first place... especially when one can see the majority of gameplay and endings on youtube?Posted: August 23, 2011 5:56 PM -
I can't afford to buy a lot of games so I sometimes 20+ hour games for my console, but for my ds there still some games have not beaten yet because i forgot about them guess i will go play them now try not to forget about them Chrono Trigger, Fire Emblem, and Dragon Quest here I come.
Posted: August 23, 2011 5:54 PM -
Yeah, I finished RDR because of the enthusiastic driving story and great characters. Other games yeah I just don't finish because I'm playing another game, lost interest or stuck at one point. You know there are so many games out there that it's really hard to commit to beating one game. That said, I stopped playing Dragon Age 2 and never beat it. I might go back to it but I played other games like Dirt 3 and Portal 2.

10%? Where did they get that stat? 90% of people buy a video game with no intention of finishing it? that makes NO sense.I play a lot of games and unless they completely suck i usually finish them. some more research is needed on where they came up wioth that number.
Posted: August 23, 2011 5:44 PM -
i finish all of my games. if i cant finish the game then i return the game. since i didnt like it. and i also go for every achievement for all the games i have

The single player campaign has to be compelling. I still haven't finished the CoD: MW2 single player because I don't find it interesting. Other games, like Uncharted or Assassin's Creed really make me want to finish the story.
Posted: August 23, 2011 5:19 PM -
I am sometimes embarased by the fact that I have only completed about 1/3 of the games I own, granted I do have several(especially Bioware RPGs) which I have beaten multiple times.
Posted: August 23, 2011 5:14 PM -
Isn't a purpose of Video Games... to waste time? I should say spend time, actually. Wasting time would be doing nothing at all, or something for the sake of nothing. And yes Adam. Generally when people achievement "whore", they are doing it for the achievements.
I prefer the term "Hunt", actually. When i go for achievements, it's usually because I have nothing else to do, or some similar situation. Whoring would be when you forsake other, perhaps important things. I'm getting a job soon, so i won't have as much time to spend doing the things I like. But if anything, my games last longer when I have something else to do. Ok, I never sell my games anymore, and i go back to them every now and again and have fun, so i guess that's not too accurate.
Sorry if there was some preachy or hostile stuff in there. It's not supposed to be. Text is hard to emote.Posted: August 23, 2011 5:09 PM -
Great just great. Stupid website triple posted my comment. Lame.

I finish games if they are set up to allow me to within reason. There are only so many times I can die and play the same part over again before I curse the TV and throw the controller across the room (i.e. LBP1 fracking Wheel of Death!). More often that not, I choose games for their rich content (ES series, Fallout 3, HL2, AC 1 and 2, ME 1 and 2, etc.) which makes them completion worthy. Case in point, I just played Portal 2 again (both single and multiplayer) because I was feeling nostalgic. So worth it!

First off, this is a topic of great debate and I'm gald it came up. Really the article from CNN I do not think can be considered entirely legitmate like Adam said, What portion of the gamers interviewed in this article played games online more than the they played the single player campaigns? I mean realistically, I understand that more than ever I probably will out be to play games as much as possible but that will make my gaming experience more enjoyable because I have to cherish those moments. However unlike some of the people mention in the article, or study, I will not sacrifice my single player for the quick fix of multiplayer.

A: An incredible 5 hours. Although not exclusively, and I'd think "incredible" would be fairly rare anyways.
Either way, I nearly always finish a game I start. The ones I haven't stick out in my memory for that very reason (Zelda 2 probably being the oldest - Shadow Link, you ASS). It's a habit that has stuck with me for 20 years, and I think it's served me well.
I'm also sure it's led to me being labeled an "achievement whore" a million times over (I'll break 200K in a couple months or so). That's fine, we all play differently - my appreciation isn't tainted. I think the majority of games reveal fairly quickly what they're all about (some would say they must by definition), but I also think you often gain a certain level of insight by being able to look back from the finish line. Good games and bad games. DNF is considered "bad", but good gosh how much was there to say (and learn) about it?
One of those issues on the cusp of gaming evolution, for sure.Posted: August 23, 2011 4:12 PM -
There are a few reasons. Lack of good gameplay or original content throughout. People may not have as much time. Or they just don't stick with games before playing the next because a lot of good games release at once. I'm sure multiplayer gaming is part of the problem too.
Me? I finish everything up until the credits. I may not get the plat trophy on all my games but play nearly everything through the initial story mode on normal. In doing so I get way behind in playing recent games, that's my side of the problem.Posted: August 23, 2011 4:01 PM -
Usually I want to finish the game. There are some games that I haven't finished because they weren't good enough to hold my attention, but I usually finish my games. I've finished a good number of games that lasted over 100 hours each - and not out of some sense of duty to the game, but because I wanted to finish the story. Final Fantasies, Fallouts, etc.
That said - I still haven't finished Super Mario 64. I've played and beat the final level, but I didn't go from start to finish without cheating or using someone else's saved game.
I also play casual games on my iPhone. So, I'm weird I guess.Posted: August 23, 2011 4:01 PM

Health IT
Dr. Karen DeSalvo, Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT, is pushing for an interoperability road map "specific enough that people will know what they're supposed to do when."
The federal government fleshing out the details of a 10-year plan to put in place interoperability standards for electronic health records. This June, the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT outlined basic policy building blocks in a vision paper.
Six months into her tenure, ONC head Dr. Karen DeSalvo is now leading the charge to get comments from vendors, clinicians and other stakeholders to develop technical standards, certification for EHR systems, and privacy and security protections for health records, while also guaranteeing consumer access to individual records.
"We've been trying to go deep into interoperability really quickly," DeSalvo said during a July 17 meeting with reporters at ONC's offices at the Department Health and Human Services headquarters. The push comes amid a reduction in the number of offices and a reorganization of work groups that was announced as ONC's stimulus funding ended. DeSalvo expects that by January 2015, ONC will have an interoperability road map "that is specific enough that people will know what they're supposed to do when."
Group launches national effort for health IT interoperability
Patient data the next IT frontier at VA
Does interoperability have to be hard?
She admitted that interoperability is "a thorny problem we have yet to completely solve." ONC is looking to "hear from people who are doing it well" across industries, DeSalvo said, not just in the health care sector. Part of the urgency is that the data is there now, waiting to be unleashed: "There is an appreciation that [interoperability] is not just an idea ... that there is something to move," she said.
At the same time ONC is trying to foster an ecosystem that enables both a continuous record of individual patient care and a broader understanding of public health, DeSalvo said the agency is looking to expand the health record beyond the health care system. That would mean including data from social and human services agencies, patient-generated health data, information from fitness trackers and other wearable devices, as well as genomic information and other microdata that will come into play as precision medicine becomes a regular part of clinical care.
These new data streams raise questions about privacy, security and regulation, and the hurdles are considerable, DeSalvo said. A small subset of objections she hears from vendors and stakeholders includes worries that information will be unsecured, that too much regulation is denying vendors space to innovate, that consumers won't know what to do with their health information, and that providers don't want to share information with each other.
"My responsibility is to improve people's health, she said. "We all have to figure out how we're opening architecture and being more free with the data in appropriate ways so that it centers around folks."
"It's a frustration, DeSalvo admitted. "For it seems like everybody across the continuum, that information gets collected and locked. And it's not really moving. And we're keenly interested in seeing that that data starts to flow."

Seasoned government managers are hopeful about an innovation effort backed by the president, but they see pitfalls and the possibility of duplication.
Early self-reporting suggests that 81 percent of agencies are on track to electronically manage email records.
The head of the Defense Innovation Unit Experimental says his goal is to drive culture change in the DOD's acquisition and innovation processes rather than make DIUx the acquisition arm of the DOD.
A plan to reorganize DHS' cybersecurity directorate that stalled in Congress last year is still on the agency's agenda.
Without confirmed subcabinet officials, President Donald Trump's executive order calling for a federal government reorganization will be managed by agency chiefs and career executives.
As promised, a budget blueprint from the Trump administration prioritizes military and homeland security spending, and pays for increases with dramatic cuts to civilian agencies.
What is DHHS doing to tap the "know how" of DoD and VA in this area? Does Doc DiSalvo have any authority over all agencies, or just DHHS?
So, Dr. DeSalvo is leading the charge to gather comments. Who is leading the charge to make an acquisition plan. People have raised the obvious point that a great many contractors have been deeply involved/complicit in the $2B spent leading to failure by both the DoD and VA IT empires. Should those contractors be barred from competing on this? One could make that argument. What about the govt employees who have been presiding over this matter? Perhaps it is time for an FFRDC to take ove r this chore, due to their objectivity and independence. But that raises the question: to what extent have the FFRDCs been involved in this mess?
I hope that ONC will be promoting the importance of testing for interoperability and standards conformance in the electronic exchange of health information. ONC has the opportunity to mobilize the community to participate in the building and testing of open source interoperability solutions. Some proposed objectives to consider to ensure ONC's vision of Interoperable Health IT Infrastructure by 2024 include: • Support Automated Platform for Test Case Execution • Document Best Practices for Audits and Work Flow Lifecycle of Testing • Support an Environment for Re-Use of Testing Tools/Test Cases • Promotion Beyond "Happy Path Testing (peer-to-peer), ensure Negative Testing" • Promote Industry Reporting Metrics on how well their products and services ensure interoperability and not vendor lock-in.

About Us
1-3 July 2012, King's Manor, University of York
The conference theme is prompted by the challenge of globalization and the notion that Europe can no longer be studied primarily through the lens of particular national histories and historiographies. What does this mean for French history and its traditional chronological boundaries? How do we write French history beyond the framework and boundaries of national histories? How did France perceive and influence its neighbours? What is the French contribution to the pattern and dynamic of transnational interconnection? How did France's colonies and interactions with non-European regions influence European society and culture and how, in turn, was she influenced by them? To what extent does a transnational approach bring fresh perspectives to the regional and local history of France?
Proposals are invited for twenty minute papers (in either English or French) on any aspect of French history from the early medieval to the contemporary period. Proposals for panels of two or three papers which cross chronological and/or geographic boundaries are particularly welcome. However, our theme is not exclusive as to subject and we also welcome contributions that reflect the broad diversity of the discipline of French History.
We have confirmed the following keynote speakers: Edward James (Dublin), Susanne Desan (Wisconsin), Isser Woloch (Columbia)
Submissions of no more than 300 words and a very brief CV should be sent by email to Jenny Hillman: firstname.lastname@example.com by Friday December 2nd 2011.

I know I always find it incredibly frustrating to get meaningless fluff back as error messages from a website. Would it be less frustrating to get, "Error committing to table: incorrect number of fields"? For errors the use can maybe fix (e.g., username and password don't match), I try to give a meaningful and complete explanation of the problem. (At least, in theory that's what I intend to try to do.) For internal errors, I like to do something like the following: My mydie subroutine starts out by explaining that there is some internal problem, that it is probably not the user's fault, that it's something the webmaster needs to fix, and that he might be able to do so more easily given the technical error code below. Then I give contact info for whoever maintains the script, and print out the string that was passed by the caller, labelled as a Technical Error Code. (The important thing about this string is that it is unique, and I can grep for it to find exactly where the problem was encountered.) All of this can be nicely formatted in a
...
 so that the site CSS can easily style it as desired. This is MUCH nicer to the user than "Internal Server Error", but it doesn't give a potential malicious user a great deal of information, other than how to contact the admin. (Then you just have to make sure this person is not susceptible to social engineering... but you have to do that anyway) In reply to Re: Essential CGI Security Practices

Brunch Mother's Day
Mother's Day is something I look forward to year round. It's one day that we're all guaranteed to spend together as a family, celebrating the woman we all love dearly. And though ours is usually simple, consisting of brunch and perhaps a family hike or a movie, Goldfinch Events' totally stunning tea party has me inspired to do more. Captured by Jeremiah And Rachel, there's a lot more lovely right here!
From Mum's Flowers… Although April and May are often considered the "shoulder season" here in Montana, there are plenty of opportunities to use holidays as an excuse to throw a simple spring party. Whether its planning Easter dinner, May Day gifts, or Mother's Day Brunch these fun ideas are sure to inspire a little spring into your parties at home.
For this shoot, we chose to design a family springtime tea with my gorgeous mother, my beautiful sister, and her adorable one year old son. We kept the color palate to simple whites and soft minty greens with pops of fuchsia, yellow, and red. We made easy live green moss chargers stuffed with fresh pussy willow, and set the table with vintage china, hot tea and scones and an incredible test tube chandelier overflowing with tulips. We hung the chandelier above our heads so that we could talk beneath it across the table, but still low enough to enjoy. As we looked up we could almost see the tulips opening in the sunshine. Rachel made fun Tea Cookies using a simple shortbread recipe, dipping chocolate, and tea bag tags.
It was so much fun to borrow live chicks for this shoot from North Valley Ag. And what cuter thing to see than my adorable one year old nephew admiring a fluffy little yellow chick. They snuggled up in teacups and peeped at us as we sipped our tea which absolutely must be served with scones, clotted cream, and fresh raspberry preserves.
By May it's really beginning to feel like springtime in Montana. I've always loved the May Day tradition of filling homemade paper cones with flowers and hanging them anonymously on neighbor's doorknobs or sending them with sweet notes to friends. These randoms acts of kindness in addition to the soft blooms, offer the rewarding promise of spring.

Souhrn od vydavatele
"Lively, ardent and intellectually rigorous." --The New York Times Book Review"Why This World treats Clarice and her many mysteries very gently. Moser carefully unwraps the very raw, intimate character behind her very introspective books... An excellent feat of portraiture "--Los Angeles Times"This is rich biographical material that gets only richer as Mr. Moser, a translator and a book critic for Harper's Magazine, begins to unpeel the layers of her complicated life. 'Why This World' sucks you into its subject's stange vortex." --The New York Times"Benjamin Moser's Why This World: A Biography of Clarice Lispector uncovers the iconic author's double life: the diplomat's wife in war-shattered Europe and the elusive genius who dramatized a fractured interior world in rich synthetic prose . . . her work lives on, still striking near to the wild heart." --Megan O'Grady, Vogue"[A] Pioneering biography of Brazilian writer Clarice Lispector (1920-1977). This well-researched biography by Moser, New Books columnist for Harper's, should send readers in search of this indescribable author." --Publishers Weekly"Beautifully rendered... Moser's richly contextualized, uniquely insightful, and haunting biography of mystic and writer Lispector resurrects a 'penetrating genius.'" --Donna Seaman, Booklist (starred review)"A smart, passionate portrait of a truly remarkable writer. Lispector is a great subject, and Moser is the perfect biographer for her." -- Jonathan Franzen"A biography worthy of its great subject ... One of the twentieth century's most mysterious writers is finally revealed in all her vibrant colors." -- Orhan Pamuk"Rich in detail and original research and filled with sympathy for what must remain hidden and what must be understood. [Moser] has written a great book about a Jewish heroine whose family lived through some of the worst episodes of the last century in Europe; he has given also a fascinating account of modern Brazil where Lispector's work is treasured and her genius recognized." --Colm Toibin"Benjamin Moser has recreated all the psychological and cultural context needed to understand this great writer, and brought to life her essentially tragic nature in all its complexity." --Edmund White"In Ben Moser, [Lispector] has found a gifted young biographer, social historian, and prose stylist who is able to take her elusive measure. This book is enthralling." --Judith Thurman"Elegantly written, carefully researched, [Moser's] complex and nuanced biography allows Lispector her essential mystery." --The New Leader"[An] absorbing and perceptive biography of a fascinating writer." --The Economist"A good introduction to an author worth knowing about." --Library Journal"Comprehensive, inspired, respectful of necessary silences Why This World does what Lispector set as a goal for her own writing: to leave unexplained what cannot be explained." --Forward.com"A comprehensive portrait." --TexasMonthly.com"In his stimulating new work, Why This World: A Biography of Clarice Lispector, Houston native Benjamin Moser recounts the extraordinary life story of a woman who is a legend in her beloved Brazil but barely known, much less read, in the United States. She is, Moser convincingly argues, unique--in Brazilian or any other literature." --Houston Chronicle"The attraction of a life story bouncing so wildly between the antipodes of high and low culture is obvious. However, while there have been a plethora of books, movies and TV shows about Lispector and her novels in Brazil, she has never made her mark in the United States. So the American publishing world must be a bit bemused that 'Why This World, ' Benjamin Moser's recent biography of Lispector, has received more attention in major review outlets--The New York Times, the New York Review of Books, Texas Monthly, etc.--than has been given to the whole of her works translated into English." --Austin American-Statesman"Lispector lived a large, glamorous and difficult life, which Benjamin Moser evokes in expressive detail, against a finely constructed historic and political backdrop. The biographer dives into the philosophical and theological concerns of his subject's literary output without skimping on the travails, pleasures and idiosyncrasies of her everyday life." --Moment"Latin America's premier female writer, Clarice Lispector, spent most of her fifty-seven years in Brazil, where she is a cult figure affectionately known today by her first name alone. Although Clarice's major works have been available in English translation for many years, that cult will undoubtedly receive a boost in North America with the publication of the first biography of her in English, Benjamin Moser's superbly documented, meticulously researched Why This World." --Brown Alumni Magazine"Benjamin Moser's contribution to the commentary is Why This World, a major biography that identifies Lispector as a mystic in the tradition of her Jewish forebears. Interlaid with brilliant quotations from Lispector's fiction, letters, and interviews, the book offers plenty of evidence of her passionate and sometimes desperate spiritual search." --Rain Taxi"Moser is clearly in love with Lispector, a condition that infuses the biography with an almost romantic spirit. As Clarice would have it, Moser learns from her, apprentices under her. While the level of research carried out is impressive, there is still a slight tentativeness about the biography that makes it more endearing. In these little uncertainties, Moser's love for Lispector emerges, and the passion for certain knowledge of his idol--paixao for Clarice--shines through." --The World"A remarkable achievement...Benjamin Moser's beautifully written, sensitive, and impeccably researched biography unlocks the secret of the so-called Sphinx of Rio de Janeiro, bringing this complex, mysterious individual into precise focus, albeit without unsettling Lispector's allegiance to the unknowable. Moser strikes a balance between life chronology, social history, and literary criticism, which will appeal to longtime fans of Lispector and novice readers alike...An eloquent tribute to this author, who, in part due to Moser's admirable accomplishments, will justly join the ranks of the world's greats." --Women's Review of Books"The main strength of Why This World is its ability to impart an understanding of the significance of Clarice's literary innovation and the enigma of her personality. Moser, enchanted by the beautiful, secretive novelist and her mysterious writing, infuses his biography with a spell-binding quality, skillfully convincing readers of his subject's appeal." --SHOFAR"Moser's biography helps enlarge the audience for Lispector in English-language cultures...His empathy for Lispector renders her whole life of interest, without completely erasing the mystery that gained her the epithet of Sphinx. Tracing the multiple Clarices, Moser has enriched our ways of knowing not only her life but her work as well." --Review: Literature and Arts of the Americas"Moser's richly layered book chronicles the genius, the brilliance, and the mystery of Lispector. His splendid biography provides not only a portrait of a woman as an artist but also a first-rate social history of twentieth century Brazil and a brilliant history of Brazilian literature and the impulses of literary modernism as they are illustrated in Lispector's writings...Epic." --Magill's Literary Annual Přečíst více...

Battle of the Month: July Sign Up
Welcome to the Battle of the Month! This is the sign up thread, meaning that if you wish to enter, you must post within the thread asking to be added to the list. All other posts that are off-topic or not BOTM related will be deleted. Here is the basic set up of the Battle of the Month.
Similar to the Signature of the Week, the Battle of the Month spans over a 1 month period, and consists of up to 4 separate sections of the contest. There is a maximum of only 16 (sixteen) participants and the first theme thread will be posted within the first week of the month of July, or if the 16 participant quota is met.
The BOTM works in this way: The 16 Participants enter in 1 on 1 duals with signatures corresponding to the theme. Contrasting the Signature of the Week, this contest's winners are determined solely by the decision of a panel of Judges. When the judges have made their selections of winners, 8 shall remain, another theme is opened, and they battle again. Then 4, then 2, then 1 final victor will be selected.
Similarly to the SOTW, you are given a 1 week grace period after the Sign Up has closed, along with a theme. After the week is up, the entries will be pitted against each other in their duals, and no one other than the Participants who signed up may enter.
The end of the Sign Up is July 2nd, OR unless all entry spots have been filled.
1) You are only allowed to enter yourself; you cannot act in favor of, or enter anyone else within this contest. There is a maximum of only 16 participants.
2) All questions, comments and concerns about the BOTM contest should be done within their respective threads, or directed via PM to Serated.
3) There is a zero tolerance policy for this contest; if you do not send an entry before any due date in any theme, you are forfeiting the contest. Serated is not responsible to for reminding you of missing a deadline, or your entry not following any rules. SO DOUBLE CHECK YOUR WORK.
Participant List (14/16):

don't know if this relates to you, joe, but when i typed in "d-word.com", all i got was a page that said "It Works!" when i typed in "www.d-word.com", then i got in without any problem...

Hi, I have noticed that other people have more than one URL listed under website on their profile. I too have several URLs that I think would interest the community. How can I do this?
Thu 15 May 2008
There's a field "Other website" when you're editing your profile.
Also, you can just put URLs into your bio.
Thu 15 May 2008
I don't get that field – is it only for members? I'm planning to apply to be a member, but wanted to get my profile together first.
Thu 15 May 2008
I don't actually know... but I can assure you that the number of websites won't determine eligibility for membership... :-)
Fri 16 May 2008
In reply to Christopher Wong's post on Tue 13 May 2008 :
Yeah, I had the same experience as you, with the "It Works!" page. Likewise, I eventually typed in the complete URL and got in. Just out of curiosity, what was that page anyway?
I'm still getting occasional "bad response from server" messages and the pages are often very slow to load. Will look into Opendns.com...
Fri 16 May 2008
Appears that problem is fixed, Mikal. I had it, too. Peter will come on sometime soon and explain. Anyway, the pages should load now with lightening speed.
Fri 16 May 2008
minor loading issues here this morning – just letting you know. Some threads worked well and some not at all.. All fine this evening.
Sat 17 May 2008
Doug, you know, the funny thing is that just after I made that last post, I couldn't get in at all. I had wanted to add a thank you note to Peter and the hosts for keeping this great site together. So, there, thanks!
P.S., seems to be working fine for me now. Yes, "It Works!" indeed.
Sat 17 May 2008
I won't pretend to understand all that technical stuff just extend my thanks to someone who obviously does. Thanks Peter.
Sat 17 May 2008
One of which seems to have built a web in the little bit of code that resets the already-read topic lists when I click on Topics. Was that clear? Here: I read the new posts in a topic, click Topics, but when the Topics page comes up, the topic I just looked at still has the circle with the number of unread posts in it. Just so you know...

I found out that the Skype extension for Firefox (at least on Win XP) plays havoc with a number of websites, including The D-Word. For example, I couldn't open image attachments. Disabling the extension fixed my problems.

Anyone know where, in Seattle, on a Saturday afternoon (for an out of town Monday a.m. shoot, so we need by Sunday), one can get an XD Cam disk? have tried all the usual suspects (companies) to no avail. Thanks...
Sun 1 Jun 2008
Next time, please post in Public Classifieds . This Help topic is about The D-Word itself.
Mon 2 Jun 2008
Humbly accepted. Believe me, having to play a topic cop here works against my nature. If I wasn't a bloody co-host, I would get sidetracked all the time. Like, I could really start one of my XDCAM rants now... I learned to hate the cameras, so I really hope you didn't find that disk. ;-)

The Sacrament of Reconciliation is celebrated weekly on Saturday from 4:00 to 4:30pm or by appointment.
The Church desires "that the baptized who have sinned should acknowledge their sins against God and their neighbor and have heartfelt repentance for them, and it tries to prepare them to celebrate the sacrament of penance." (Rite of Penance)
Sin harms our relationship with God; serious (mortal) sin has deadly effects on that relationship. Sin not only offends against God, however, it also damages our communion with one another. Thus, in the Sacrament of Reconciliation our relationship with God is renewed or restored, and we are reconciled to one another.
Because of the various realities involved in this sacrament, it goes by various names. Besides being called the Sacrament of Reconciliation, it is also called the sacrament of conversion, the sacrament of penance, the sacrament of confession, and the sacrament of forgiveness. This variety of names suggests the significance and complexity of the mystery which is expressed and experienced by this sacrament which continues the healing ministry of Jesus.
The prayer of absolution which the priest says expresses the healing which takes place in the sacrament. It also emphasizes what we believe:
God, the Father of mercies, through the death and resurrection of his Son has reconciled the world to himself and sent the Holy Spirit among us for the forgiveness of sins; through the ministry of the Church may God give you pardon and peace,and I absolve you from your sins in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. (Rite of Penance)

Kingdom Hearts is the Square Enix role-playing series staring Disney characters like Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck. The series has had several spin-offs, but gamers are eagerly awaiting Kingdom Hearts 3.
"About the next title, Kingdom Hearts 3 depends on Final Fantasy Versus XIII, but development of the next title is already underway," Kingdom Heart game designer Tetsuya Nomura said in a recent interview. "There are two titles other than Kingdom Hearts 3 in conception, and I think I'll release one within this year."
The game designer also added that Kingdom Hearts won't end with Kingdom Hearts 3 and that he wanted to put out a title with multiple main characters. "It's not the case that when Sora's story is over another hero's story will begin," Normura said about the protagonist. "Sora will be the hero until the end."
Last spring, Nomura said that development on the upcoming Final Fantasy Versus XIII is "going well". It is uncertain, however, whether or not the game will be shown at this year's E3 gaming expo.

Energy Needs and Efficiency, Not Emissions: Re-framing the Climate Change Narrative
The basic narrative on climate change between the rich and poor worlds has been problematic. The focus on emissions has made industrial countries inadequately sensitive to the unmet energy needs in developing countries. And it has led developing countries to adopt the rhetoric of recrimination and focus on the legacy of historical emissions by industrial countries. The ensuing blame game has led to the current gridlock. As a way out, we suggest some simple principles for determining equitable distribution of emission cuts between developed and developing countries to meet global targets. These principles emphasize basic energy needs and the equality of access to energy opportunities rather than emissions, taking account of development levels, as well as energy efficiency in creating such opportunities. To apply these principles, we develop a new data set to distinguish between energy needs and emissions-intensity for major developing- and developed-country emitters and quantify the relationship between these variables and changes in income (or development). This quantification allows us to project emissions levels in 2050. Our main finding is that meeting global emissions targets equitably requires very large, probably revolutionary, improvements in the carbon intensity of production and consumption, much larger than seen historically. We conclude that a new shared narrative that places equality of energy opportunities at the forefront would naturally shift the focus of international cooperation from allocating emissions "rights" or reductions and blame to maximizing efforts to achieving technology gains and rapidly transferring them worldwide. Abandoning the setting of emissions targets for developing counries and creating instead a framework where all countries contribute to maximizing technology creation and diffusion is what Copenhagen should be about.

Good hotel for resonable price. Excellent location, tasty breakfast, friendly service. The WiFi connection was sometimes problematic.
We stayed in a Deluxe King room which was excellent, it was in a new building next to the main hotel - the room was better than some 5 star rooms we've satyed in. Great location and great value for money. No problems at all - we liked everything about the hotel.
The hotel was in an excellant location for what we wanted in Mumbai. Staff were very helpful, good breakfast, recomment room 309, its a twin and very light. Comfy clean beds, air con and a fan. Room was very clean and cleaned daily. Very good for price
Staff was very helpfull. They answered to all of our questions, always wanted us to feel ok. Hotel is really clean and has a very good location (ok to go to colaba coeway or gateway of India walking) Just a thing, taxi drivers do not know this place very well. Could be a little more "design"
Very friendly, helpful staff. Clean comfortable room was quite luxurious and better than I expected it to be. A perfect place to land in Mumbai off the plane that was very central to all sights in southern Mumbai They didn't actually have record of my booking on arrival, but fortunately had a spare room for me. While the room was nice and quiet, it didn't have any windows. Internet was meant to be free but they charged 200R extra for wifi.

Wow. This is quite a shocker. A game based on a toy based on a movie. Normally, you'd think, "Good god, this game looks like ****!" But, its actually quite good, before beating it that is. Because after you beat all the episodes in story mode, it's just, "Well, let's go play that stage again and again and again." That's one problem, replay value is good, but takes hours. And you don't get much out of it.
Another problem is some glitches. I'm not sure if it's just because the disc is dirty or something, but whenever I'm playing with someone, and we accidentally walk to the shop at the diner, it drops one of us out for no particular reason, then proceeds to make a loud, "I'm playing now" noise. Then there's the podracing stage. This has happened to me a couple times. I've got some money on the stage, and whenever I switch from one fragment to the other. It kills me for no reason whatsoever until I'm back at 0. Kinda sucks that way. And it sometimes freezes when I look at the minikits I got outside the diner.
All glitches aside, this is a great concept. Could be better, but hey.

Last week was special for many reasons. It began in Puerto Rico, where our Clubs were hosting the TEDxYouth@San Juan youth development conference. As one of 12 speakers, it was wonderful to articulate the significance of after-school programs, the results they derive in youth, and the role that Boys & Girls Clubs play in the field. A full house was on hand, with audiences around the world tuning in to see the presentation in the acclaimed TED format.
Then it was onto Scottsdale, Ariz., and our Great Futures in Indian Country summit, where I joined leaders from nearly 50 tribes and Club professionals to discuss how we might deepen impact on Native youth.
Next Stop: FloridaBrian and his team are doing amazing work with their nearly 13,000 members – and getting fantastic results:
- Members enjoyed more than 700,000 snacks and meals in 2013, as the Club became the first Florida group to offer dinner through a new federally funded after-school program.
- The Florida Partnership to End Childhood Hunger recognized the Club for its efforts.
- The Club implemented i-Ready, an online reading and math program focusing on new Common Core State Standards for public school learning.
The Club was filling with kids getting ready for an afternoon of activities and fun. The fully renovated facility includes a library, state-of-the-art computer lab and one of the few full-size gyms in the area. It has several tutoring rooms, and a stage and art room for creative programming.
The organic vegetable garden, named in honor of Ros, was my favorite stop. Planted, cultivated and harvested by Club members, the plot provides the kids with important lessons on both nutrition and sustainability.
A full week, for sure, filled with great people and inspiring experiences.
