FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Tom Brady threw for a record-tying six touchdown passes, five in the first half and three to Rob Gronkowski, and the New England Patriots opened a 42-10 lead over Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos through three quarters of their second-round NFL playoff game Saturday night.
Brady completed 24 of 32 passes for 321 yards heading into the fourth quarter, and his six touchdowns matched the NFL playoff record set by Daryle Lamonica in 1969 and matched by Steve Young in the 1995 Super Bowl. Gronkowski's three TD catches in the first half matched the NFL record for an entire playoff game.
Tebow struggled to move the Broncos, completing just five of 16 passes for 61 yards through three. He was also strip-sacked on Denver's sixth play from scrimmage to set up Gronkowski's diving 10-yard touchdown catch that gave New England a 14-0 lead midway.
The Broncos seemed to respond when Quinton Carter intercepted Brady, giving Denver the ball at the New England 24 yard-line. Four plays later, on the first play of the second quarter, Willis McGahee ran it in from the 5 to cut the deficit to 14-7.
But Brady hit Gronkowski from 12 yards out to make it 21-7 and then, just before the 2-minute warning, Brady connected with Deion Branch on a 61-yard TD pass down the left sideline to take a 28-7 lead. The four touchdown passes were already a Patriots franchise record for a playoff game.
But Brady and Gronkowski weren't done yet.
After Denver went three-and-out to give New England the ball back at its own 42 with 69 seconds left in the half, Brady led the Patriots into scoring range and hit Gronkowski at the goal line for a 19-yard score that made it 35-7. Brady's five TD passes were a record for a playoff half.
Brady hit Aaron Hernandez again, this time from 17 yards out, just 3:14 into the second half to give New England a 42-7 lead. Brady's six TD passes moved him into third on the NFL's all-time postseason list with 36, passing Terry Bradshaw, Kurt Warner and Dan Marino.
Matt Prater's 41-yard field goal late in the third quarter made it 42-10.
With a wind chill of 12 degrees at the kickoff, the Patriots tried to earn their first playoff victory in four years and — for a second time — end Tebow's remarkable run. The Denver quarterback, who won his first six starts before losing 41-23 to New England on Dec. 18, led the AFC West champion Broncos to a 29-23 overtime victory over Pittsburgh in the opening round on the first play of overtime.
But this time, it was the Patriots (13-3) who struck quickly.
On their first drive, Hernandez lined up in the backfield, took the handoff and ran the ball to the 7; Brady connected with Wes Welker on the next play to give the Patriots a 7-0 lead. The Broncos took over and moved the ball well before Tebow was strip-sacked by linebacker Rob Ninkovich, who also recovered the ball.
It took Brady only seven plays to take New England 59 yards, hitting Gronkowski on a diving catch for the 10-yard touchdown.
Brady completed his first eight passes for 79 yards before throwing an incompletion — and then an interception that set up the Broncos at the Patriots 24.
New England, the No. 1 seed in the AFC, has not won a playoff game since losing the 2008 Super Bowl to the New York Giants to blow a chance at a 19-0 season. The Patriots have lost at home in the postseason in each of the last two years.
The Broncos (9-8) beat New England in the 2005 divisional round — Brady's first career postseason loss — but missed the playoffs in each of the next five seasons. Denver ended its slump last weekend with a 29-23 victory over the Steelers that lasted just 11 seconds into overtime, when Tebow hit Demaryius Thomas on a short pass and the receiver ran the rest of the way for an 80-yard score.

Something happens to me when I am confronted with potential greatness – the tightening of the chest, the butterflies in the stomach. My head gets fuzzy and my brain does some figures to calculate just how much yen is going to leave my bank account.
Confronted by potential greatness. It's like (being a man and) spotting a blonde, pert bottom and glossy hair, wondering what beauty lurks on the other side, only for you to speed past and sneaking a glance to find out that she resembles Brigette Bardot, circa 2005. She lied. She lied with her hair.
Yeah, yeah I know she's a lot older in the second picture, in her 70s but for comparison, look at Jane Fonda (71)* :
*A reader has quite rightly pointed out that Jane has had the chop chop and Brigette hasn't which of course, means Jane is cheating. So I have been really trying to think of someone who is older and looks great and hasn't gone under the knife. I can think of:
– My Nan (amazingly un-wrinkly, the same amount of crows feet as my 28 year old friends, very smooth skin, no turkey neck.)
– Dionne Warwick (68)
And now I'm stuck. If you can think of anyone 65+ plus who looks good without the help of the knife let me know (and don't say your Nan – only my Nan gets to be famous here, ok?)
Back to the program –
Sunscreen. Use it! I don't personally apply it everyday as I have moisturizer, primer, foundation, powder on my skin but I make sure there is some SPF protection in there.
I will stop digressing now:
is the first time in quite a while I have been excited about a new brand. It's so hard to compete in the cosmetics industry since there are so many hardcore, established brands around, mainly owned by the giants of L'oreal, Shiseido and Estee Lauder.
I was browsing on the Selfridges website a few months ago when I noticed it was launching Illamasqua – it looked like a dark, heady brand, reminded me of a vampireness and a dirty 30s German strip club.
Illamasqua is the product of a heady mix of influences. Its roots stem from the dark and illicit 1920s club scene and combines a rich heritage in the manufacture of make-up for film and theatre. It also takes inspiration from members of the 'alternative scenes' for whom self-expression is paramount. Alternative cultures have always dared to be dramatic. They have an emotional attachment to making up. It's an expression of their darker side, a release for their alter ego.
Illamasqua is for the bolder person hiding inside all of us. It is an act and an attitude. A symbol of tolerance. A celebration of idiosyncracies. A confident statement of self-ownership.
You know I love colour and pigment, pigment, pigment. This could be the collection for me this spring, since I am not a fan of sheer pastels and unpigmented chunks of glitter.
I nearly died when I saw the colour selection over there. There are tons and tons and tons of colours to choose from – slight criticism though – the swatches are those paint like swipes, not actual photographs of the shadows and since the brand is new and there aren't many photographs of the real things about you are buying a little on the blind side.
I am sort of overwhelmed at the moment looking at the products availble:
# Powder Eye Shadow
# Cream Eye Shadow – Sounds good
# Pure Pigment – need to try this!
# Eye Liner Cake & Sealing Gel
# Liquid Eye Liner
# Volume Mascara
# Eye Brow Cake
# Brow and Lash Gel
# Sealing Gel
# False Lashes
# Lipstick
# Intense Lipgloss
# Sheer Lipgloss
# Matt Primer + SPF 20
# Satin Primer + SPF 20
# Light Liquid Foundation
# Rich Liquid Foundation
# Cream Foundation
# Powder Foundation
# Concealer
# Under-Eye Concealer
# Loose Powder
# Pressed Powder
# Powder Blusher
# Cream Blusher
# Illuminator
Pencils (I love pencils!):
# Fine Pencil
# Medium Pencil
# Fat Pencil
# SOPHIE Pencil
There are also accessories, nails and palettes. I will definately get round to buying the quad palette (you pick your own four shades – I will probably end up with four completely clashing shades):
It's £33.28 so not bad for a quad customizable palette (the Bobbi Brown one would be over £50). Infact, considering how slick it looks, I'm surprised by the prices (£19 for foundation, £12 for lipsticks) – highly reasonable – the same as or less than MAC (since let's face it, this is what people will compare it with, even though I see more individuality and passion from this brand than MAC).
I also want a cream eyeshadow, some pigment, intense lip gloss, the sealing gel…the list goes on and on.
Don't tell me how I will pick my shades though. I guess I will have to go with the ones that match up to my personality?
Unfortunately, Bitch is out of stock
You can buy this from Selfridges Oxford Street or the rest of us plebs will have to buy it from their site. I can't bear to look at it at the moment because I am getting make up potential overload.
It just so happens I have a little envelope with some Illamasqua goodies in it – Will it be as hot as Brigette in her youth? Or will I be disappointed, like…well, like normal.
Tune back in later this week to find out!

Sometimes, the best ways are still unknown to science. Because of this, The VCC and ACI have partnered to create a Clinical Trials Center – the first of its kind – where new ways of treating and diagnosing cancer are evaluated. The benefit to you and your pet is that we are continually at the cutting edge of potential available treatment options, often with financial incentives to offset the cost of care. This also allows you and your pet to be a part of research that may ultimately benefit both veterinary and human medicine, as new treatments for human cancers must first be proven to be effective in animals.

Documentation -> TroubleShooting -> Out Of Memory
What to do if "out of memory" or "no more memory" messages are generated by OpenSIPS?
Potential causes
There are two cause that may lead to memory starvation:
a) a small pool of memory - the configured memory is not enough and no more memory can be allocated.
b) memory leak - some memory ids are not properly freed, so they will gradually fill up all available memory (not used, but still allocated)
Determining the cause
If the memory starvation is because of a too small pool of memory, by stopping the traffic on the proxy (without stopping the proxy), the allocated memory will be freed in time (as transactions and location records are freed). TEST: wait ~ 20 minutes without any kind of load the proxy. Test the proxy by placing several calls; if the memory errors pop up again once the traffic is resumed, it means it's a memory leak somewhere; If not sure of the result, consider it's a memory leak.
How to handle it
If the memory pool is too small, you can increase the available pools with the -m (shared mem) and -M (per process mem) parameters of the opensips binary (values are given in MB).
If it is about a memory leak or a memory corruption issue, you need to compile the debug support into memory manager. To do so, follow the next steps:
2. recompile everything
3. set memdump = 1 in your configuration script (to get the memory messages) - it must be lower than debug.
4. restart your proxy
Now, you may check the memory status in two situations:
1. At shutdown - just stop the proxy - the memory manager will dump the memory status. Normally most of the memory is cleaned during shutdown. If there is a memory leak, it should be visible as not-freed memory. A memory status looks like:
0(17665) Memory status (shm): 0(17665) qm_status (0xb5a7e000): 0(17665) heap size= 33554432 0(17665) used= 1592952, used+overhead=1811564, free=31742868 0(17665) max used (+overhead)= 1811564 0(17665) dumping all alloc'ed. fragments: 0(17665) 0. N address=0xb5ab240c frag=0xb5ab23f4 size=4 used=1 0(17665) alloc'd from mem/shm_mem.c: shm_mem_init_mallocs(199) 0(17665) start check=f0f0f0f0, end check= c0c0c0c0, abcdefed 0(17665) 1. N address=0xb5ab2440 frag=0xb5ab2428 size=4 used=1 0(17665) alloc'd from timer.c: init_timer(52) 0(17665) start check=f0f0f0f0, end check= c0c0c0c0, abcdefed
2. At run time - you may check the memory status by sending SIGUSR1 signal to the process (do "kill -SIGUSR1 OPENSIPS_PID") - it will dump the SHM and PKG (only for that process) memory status. It is highly recommended to do this after waiting about 20 minutes to be sure that as much as possile memory is freed - all temporary memory used during processing is freed by lack of load on the proxy. Go through the log and see if there is something suspicious, like too much memory still allocated from same place, etc...
If you have no clue how to interpret the logs for memory status, post it on a FTP or HTTP server and send the link on the email@example.com mailing list.

Coyotes With Plenty Of Incentive To Take Care Of Business At Home In The Final Summit League Weekend
It's a numbers game this time of year in Summit League basketball. With two games to play, three teams are deadlocked for the coveted number three seed in next month's conference tournament in Sioux Falls.
South Dakota is in that trio as they get set to host North Dakota State and South Dakota State this weekend at the DakotaDome.
The Coyotes split on their final road trip last week, starting with ice cold shooting in the first half at Omaha which put them down by as many as 18 in the first half, only to rally for a second half lead, which led to another cold snap and an eight point loss.
USD head coach Amy Williams told me she was very disappointed with the way her team started in Omaha:
The Coyotes bounced back two nights later at Western Illinois with a solid first half and a balanced offensive attack that featured six players in double figures.
In a back-and-forth game in the second half, USD took care of the basketball and pulled out a three point win with clutch free throw shooting.
Coach Williams says she was happy with how her team responded after the setback in Omaha:
This week's home stand starts Thursday with a North Dakota State team the Coyotes beat by 17 last month in Fargo. In that game, Raeshel Contreras led the way with 28 points and six 3-pointers, as USD shot 57 percent in the first half.
Coach Williams knows the Coyotes need that same kind of effort to beat the Bison Thursday:
Tipoff is Thursday at 7:00pm in Vermillion.

Tell your health care provider right away if you have signs of active bleeding (persistent and unexplained) while you are taking DUEXIS.
NSAID‐containing medications like DUEXIS can cause high blood pressure or make existing high blood pressure worse, either of which can increase the chance of a heart attack or stroke. Your health care provider should check your blood pressure while you are taking DUEXIS.
Before you start taking DUEXIS, tell your health care provider if you have heart problems, kidney problems, or liver problems, or if you are taking medications for high blood pressure. DUEXIS can increase the chance of potentially significant liver injury and/or kidney injury, which may be fatal. Stop taking DUEXIS immediately and contact your health care provider if you experience any signs and/or symptoms of liver or kidney injury.
Serious allergic reactions, including skin reactions, can happen without warning and can be life threatening. Stop taking DUEXIS and consult your doctor immediately if you get a skin rash or if you start to have problems breathing or swallowing or if you develop swelling of your face or throat.
The most common side effects of DUEXIS include nausea, diarrhea, constipation, upper abdominal pain and headache.

While the debate was going on, Tallmadge pointed out that the South wanted Missouri to be a slave state and that a "striking illustration of what the South" wanted was to be viewed at that moment in front of the Capital. Apparently, as the debate was in progress "a trafficker in human flesh . . . has passed the door of your Capital . . . driving before him about fifteen of these wretched victims of his power. The males . . . were handcuffed and chained to each other, while the females and children were marched in their rear, under the guidance of the driver's whip" (p. 265).

|image from "Asian & Pacific Islanders Confronting Anti-Blackness," Seattle, Facebook event page
by Sharon H Chang
Yesterday, under the common hashtag #ModelMinorityMutiny, a national (ongoing) call was issued to Asian Americans for solidarity against police brutality disproportionately targeting the Black community. The hashtag and ideology behind it -- that Asians can value Black lives by pushing against a 'model minority' complicit existence -- emerged from grassroots organizations and incredible justice work by Scot Nakagawa and Soya Jung of Race Files with a nod to Sepia Mutiny (esp. read "What Does Model Minority Mutiny Deman?" by Soya Jung, live Dec 13, 2014). As part of this call to action, progressive Seattle Asian American Pacific Islanders (APIs) gathered together Sunday afternoon for a community dialogue, "Model Minority Mutiny: Asian Pacific Islanders Confronting Antiblackness," with leadership and input by Black organizers in the Pacific Northwest. And I really, really wanted to be there.
But I have a 5-year-old and my husband was working.

Public Comment
Remembering Patti
The sad news of the sudden death of my close friend Patti Dacey came as a shock to me and many others in Berkeley community.
She had remarkably battled lung cancer, coming out of months of chemotherapy and radiation treatment but bouncing back in her typical form, looking great and going on walks to the Farmer's Market and enjoying great food at local restaurants. She was an incredibly strong and courageous person, and I felt prior to her untimely passing that she would pull through it. So when I received the call that I long dreaded on June 8th telling me she had passed away during her long awaited trip to Europe I was stunned. I did not expect that she would have left us so soon. I was planning on meeting with her when she returned to Berkeley, to hear about her trip and fill her in on all of the latest about what's been going on in city politics. Unfortunately I never had the chance to say goodbye to her, but I am comforted knowing that she passed away surrounded by her family which she loved.
I have been heartbroken over the past two weeks since Patti's passing. I thought rather than feeling sad that I would share my thoughts about what Patti meant to me and our community.
In thinking about Patti I can't help but remember the first time I met her. We were on opposite sides then, and it would be the last time we would be on opposite sides. We worked side by side on many issues over the last seven years: fighting for neighborhoods, historic preservation, the Downtown, rent control, affordable housing and for justice, and I enjoyed every opportunity to work with Patti.
I first met Patti in the spring of 2004, when I was a sophomore at UC Berkeley. I was representing the student government on a proposal to build a bridge over Hearst Avenue connecting two dorms. I attended a meeting of the city Public Works Commission who was voting on whether to support giving the University of California the air rights to build the bridge. I remember Patti's raspy and strong voice speaking out forcefully why giving the University our air rights without anything in return was a bad idea. She made such compelling points that it persuaded me to give second thought to my position. Another fun memory of Patti was when we were part of a group of Berkeley activists who after the 2005 UC-City settlement agreement lobbied the city for an inclusive community process on planning the Downtown. I remember one Planning Commission meeting in which we took over the audience and Patti made quips, to provide levity and to also stir things up. It incensed the Planning Commission Chair so much that he was banging his gavel saying "Patricia, Patricia". Patti loved to shake things up, and cause trouble for the status quo.
I really got to know Patti when she and I were both appointed by Councilmember Kriss Worthington as his representatives to the newly formed Downtown Area Plan Advisory Committee (DAPAC), a commission tasked in coming up with a new plan for Berkeley's Downtown. During the two year process I got to work closely with Patti. She made her points during meetings with great eloquence, skill and humor. She knew how to ease a very tense situation with her incredible wit. She also knew how to stick it to people who deserved it with her brilliant quips. Thanks to Patti we were able to build a broad coalition on the DAPAC which led to 17 of the 21 members supporting a vision for the Downtown. It's hard to imagine 17 people agreeing on anything in Berkeley, but it happened thanks to Patti's great coalition building skills, reaching out to members, building relationships and helping develop great strategies to move our agenda forward. One example of Patti's great work is her critical role in drafting the DAPAC Historic Preservation Chapter, which she stopped from being watered down by anti-preservation forces.
As the Downtown Plan left the DAPAC it went to the Planning Commission which Patti sat on. Over the next year and a half, Patti and Gene Poschman defended the DAPAC Plan and fought hard to stop the plan from being gutted by the Planning Commission majority. She used her great strategic skills to stop bad amendments, and when she was in the minority she and Gene stuck to their principles and voted no. Ultimately the Planning Commission would eviscerate the DAPAC Plan. As the Plan went to the City Council, she, and Gene Poschman and I helped pull together a coalition of former DAPAC members, environmentalists and other community leaders to push for the adoption of the DAPAC Plan. We had to literally fight to get a seat at the table, because the Mayor and staff wouldn't allow the DAPAC to make a presentation on its plan, contrary to City rules. Ultimately the Council adopted a hodgepodge of both plans, with a poison pill, Policy LU-8.3, which was a loophole around community benefit requirements. Incensed about the passage of this watered down Plan, Patti and I were leaders of the effort to referend the Downtown Plan. After an intense one-month non-stop campaign throughout the city, including harassment anti-petition forces, we submitted 9,200 signatures to stop the Council's Downtown Plan. I remember feeling incredibly proud and basking in the victory with Patti who worked hard to make it happen.
We ultimately became the spokespeople for the opposition to the City Council's high rise vision for the Downtown. We made a great team, and I loved having her as my debate partner. Together we would speak at community meetings, and win over the crowd. Ultimately we would end up fighting the City Council's advisory measure R on the 2010 ballot, which unfortunately passed. In the end the Plan was back at the Planning Commission and Patti and Gene fought hard to make the plan better, pushing for community benefits, affordable housing and neighborhood protections.
Throughout the 8 year struggle on the Downtown Plan, Patti and I worked side by side. We also worked closely on so many other efforts including defending rent control, the effort to stop the Mayor's revision to the Landmarks Ordinance and the successful campaign to defeat it, as well as my successful campaign to the Berkeley City Council. Patti was one of my campaign managers.
During her five years on the Planning Commission she was an incredible advocate for neighborhoods, preservation and social justice. She fought the pro-developer majority and yet even those she often disagreed with held great respect and affection for her. She would often bring a dull and serious meeting to life with her sense of humor, and was never afraid to speak truth to power. She stopped the commission from circumventing public process; she used her legal training to challenge staff, and used her great eloquence, skill and wit to fight for the needs of neighborhoods and everyday people.
Outside of the Planning Commission she was a resource for neighborhoods that were facing inappropriate development projects, code violations, or other issues. She sued the city when it was wrong and won, twice! So much that she was feared by certain developers and lawyers.
Patti was always on the right side of every issue, and she had great integrity and a passion for fighting for justice, whether it was an illegal and immoral war, or injustices happening in her own community. She was someone we could always depend on.
On a personal level Patti was a mentor, close friend and adviser. Someone who I trusted and who wouldn't sugar coat things but would always be truthful, and who had a brilliant mind and who could give me great advice on important issues. She had a big heart and was a loyal friend. She also helped me learn and grow as a person, and I am forever changed because of her. I owe her so much and I wouldn't be where I am without her.
Patti was a person of great courage, conviction, integrity, brilliance, and humor. She brought life to everyone around her, and made Berkeley a wonderful place. She has made a lasting impact on our community. Patti loved Berkeley and gave selflessly to improve her community. Patti represented the best of Berkeley.
Her passing is a tremendous loss for our city. Not only are we losing a dedicated public servant, but someone who was a champion for Berkeley's values. A part of our city died when she passed. But we need to carry on her legacy and spirit. While we can mourn, we also have to organize and continue the many struggles that Patti so ably fought for.

Played to a 360 degree audience where possible, with audience seated behind the stage which is still in the end-on position, video is an intricate blend of raw and soft / colourful and monochrome elements in a lively, edgy interactive environment.
Both Bramley and Miles have worked with XL Video on many previous occasions and describe the service, equipment and attitude as "Excellent".
Over the stage is a single five metre diameter circular Barco O-Lite (10 mm) screen –which is directly backed with a projection screen surface for the 360 degree shows. Out in the auditorium are four circular screens - two at 6 metres and two at 4 metres - flown in the roof above the audience.
This ensured that everyone in the arena has a good view of the video. The screens showed a mix of IMAG and playback throughout the performance, and video was again an essential part of the band's communication with the audience.
Bringing the screens out to the audience also helps close the space down and make it intimate and theatrical when needed. Coldplay are one of a handful of bands to master the art of making large venues feel intimate and personal with a combination of performance, presence and production!
Each screen is fed by a pair of XL's Barco FLM 22K projectors with overlaid images, all connected via a fibre network, specified as the best data solution to deal with the long distances which can be up to 200 metres between projector and control.
Miles is running two active Catalyst media servers, via a grandMA Lite console, with two hot backups. Each is fitted with a TripleHead2Go giving three outputs per device – one for each of the six screens, so all can receive independent feeds in any configuration.
This gives the full flexibility to send any source to any screen, together with a 16 x 16 Lightware DVI matrix supplied by XL Video, a new product geared to touring and also remotely controllable. XL built a custom rack to house all the Catalysts, the matrix, associated devices and a UPS.
Miles does all the screen management and effecting both playback and camera outputs – an organic Bramley / Miles process often with a flourish of improv– in the Catalyst.
The playback footage follows a graffiti inspired trajectory, including re-edited video of the bespoke 'hypnoflow' laser frame from the summer festival tour – and other funkiness, presented with futuristic twists of psychedelia.
Bramley has directed Coldplay's live video since 2005's Twisted Logic tour. He and Miles worked in tandem on 2008/09's Viva La Vida tour, where their particular synergy and style of harmonising IMAG, playback and lighting in colour and movement was initiated.
XL are supplying four main cameras for this leg of the tour, one stationed at front of house with a long lens and three hand-helds in the pit – where they can move freely and follow the band. These and one robot cam onstage are cut by Bramley on his GV Kayak console and then sent into the Catalyst system along with the TX feed, and from there, output to screen.
This beautifully balances a fresh, different and off-beat mix with but the all important criteria of enabling the fans to see the band close up … and with a year of touring on the horizon, there's no shortage of scope for future development on the visuals front.
XL is supplying six crew to work with Bramley, including Miles, engineer Ed Jarman, projectionist Kevin Parry, LED tech Pieter Laleman and Rob Wick and Sacha Moore on cameras. James Morden and Tracey Donnelly have been XL's technical and project co-ordinators, with Phil Mercer from the LA office as the project manager.
This tour sees the continuation of a long and successful history between XL Video and Coldplay, and is currently scheduled to continue throughout 2012.
Date of issue : 16th January 2012.

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) November 11, 2011
Previously homeless individuals in San Francisco who hope to secure jobs got a boost today as leading nonprofit Community Housing Partnership announced the re-launch of its employment training and job placement social enterprise. Solutions SF, formerly known as CHP-Enterprises, will build on its three-years of successfully providing jobs for some of the hardest to employ members of society as it repositions itself with a new leader, a fresh brand identity and more opportunities than ever for both customers and employees. With its three business lines, Solutions SF not only employs those who have endured homelessness, but also generates earned revenue for Community Housing Partnership, the enterprise's affiliate nonprofit that builds permanent, affordable housing with support services for formerly homeless individuals and families.
Solutions SF's new director, Laurie Bernstein, says she will bring her years of executive-level corporate experience, as well as her recent workforce development accomplishments with Goodwill Industries, to ensure Solutions SF's continued dynamic growth. "With its foundation firmly established and with its new identity and structure, Solutions SF is well-positioned to appeal to a wider range of customers," noted Bernstein. "Not only do our business lines deliver solutions for customers –providing lobby staffing, maintenance and bed bug solutions – but we also offer a tangible solution to a difficult problem; helping those who have lived on the street to re-engage in society, with a job and a caring community."
Under its previous brand, Solutions SF had already distinguished itself as a model with real impact. Having employed over 100 individuals in its three years in operation at the height of the recession, the social venture's approach to employing those who face multiple barriers to employment was successful. Solutions SF aims to continue that success record, with plans to hire 10 more staff members to its current base, resulting in a workforce of 50.
Solutions SF is staffing up to respond to the growing demand for its offerings. With thousands of buildings in San Francisco, the need for effective property management services continues to increase, virtually unaffected by the economic downturn. The social venture consistently has built its customer base since its original launch three years ago, serving over a dozen buildings. Solutions SF also attracts increased interest largely due to the specific social benefit of its business model. The social enterprise movement nationwide is addressing major community challenges by delivering new and effective responses to previously intractable problems. Solutions SF is among a select number of social enterprises throughout the country to receive federal funding from the Office of Community Services and from the White House's Social Innovation Fund.
Solutions SF's Scott Wafrock works as a front desk clerk and participated in Solutions SF's on-the-job training. Scott said "After being on disability for so long, I finally felt strong enough to get back to work. Having this job has really turned my life around. When I wake up, it gives me a reason to get out of bed. I feel proud about the work I do. This job has even helped me to finally go home after a long time and visit my family in Florida."
Solutions SF, was founded originally in 2007 as CHP-Enterprises to parlay Community Housing Partnership's extensive property management experience into effective services for property owners and managers. Solutions SF supports housing supervisors and property managers all across San Francisco by offering outsourced lobby staffing solutions, maintenance solutions and bed bug remediation solutions.
A portion of Solutions SF employees have previously experienced homelessness and are returning to the workforce upon obtaining housing. These individuals have been thoroughly trained and evaluated as being ready to excel at their work responsibilities. In addition to recruiting and training employees, they provide ongoing support as employees transition back into the workplace and continue their success. To learn more, visit http://www.solutionssf.org
Formed in 1990 by people who had been homeless, advocates for the homeless and affordable housing developers, Community Housing Partnership is a San Francisco-based nonprofit organization that develops and operates permanent supportive housing for formerly homeless people. Community Housing Partnership currently serves nearly 2,000 people per year through housing, services, job training, leadership development and employment programs. Community Housing Partnership currently owns and/or operates 12 housing sites that serve formerly homeless adults and families and has three new projects in the pipeline. Community Housing Partnership also engages in community and economic development through its certified job training programs, a community organizing project and a social enterprise that employs formerly homeless adults. Community Housing Partnership recently launched the Treatment and Supportive Housing Program, an outpatient substance abuse and mental health treatment program to assist its tenants who struggle with those issues.

Brown-Bag Lunch Talk: "Some Are Weatherwise, Some Are Otherwise"
On Wednesday, 3 October, research fellow Lauri Coleman from The College of William and Mary, gave her brown-bag lunch talk, " 'Some are Weatherwise, Some are Otherwise': Popular Almanacs and Weather Cosmology in Mid-eighteenth Century America." Coleman's dissertation research explores how mid eighteenth-century New Englanders, from the 1740s to the 1780s, experienced and made sense of the weather generally and natural disasters such as draughts and earthquakes in particular. New Englanders during this period experienced the weather in two distinct yet interconnected ways: "providentially" (as a sign of God intervening in human affairs) and through the discourse of natural philosophy, scientific observation through which divine laws might be discerned. Coleman argues that these two frameworks for understanding weather – one through which God is understood to act disruptively and violently, the other through which God is seen to act benevolently and in an orderly fashion – exist together in collective consciousness throughout the period. In the face of natural disasters, these two interpretations were often pitted against one another in public discussion (in newspapers and sermons, for example) as citizens attempted to make sense of the event.
The Cushing Academy Fellowship in Environmental History -- one of the 20 short-term research fellowships offered by the MHS -- is supporting Coleman's work at the MHS this fall, where she is reading through our extensive collection of interleaved (annotated) almanacs and diaries. Almanacs, Coleman explained, are particularly useful as a window into understanding how eighteenth-century New Englanders understood "usual" weather, what type of records they kept about everyday weather, and what use they made of that documentation (if any) over the course of their lives or across generations. They are also unusual for surviving eighteenth-century records in that, while still relatively elite, the authors of annotated almanacs represent a broader cross-section of society than the typical manuscript or print materials that have been preserved from the period. Coleman has found two collections of particular interest during her residency thus far: the Experience Wight Richardson diaries (1728-1782) and the Samuel P. Savage interleaved almanacs (1770-1795). Richardson's diaries, which record her spiritual struggles and relate her faith experiences to weather events, are unusual in being kept by a woman. Few eighteenth-century New England women's diaries have survived, and fewer still deal so directly with the cosmology of weather. A farmer, Samuel P. Savage used the almanacs, particularly the information they provided on the phases of the moon, to plan his management of crops and animals.
During the discussion that followed Coleman's presentation, attendees raised questions about the motives of those documenting the weather – were they hoping to forecast the future? Did they change their behaviors in relation to the weather based on their records of the past? They also explored what is historically particular about weather cosmology in the eighteenth century, and whether Coleman's project might benefit from comparison to earlier and later periods (possibly beyond the scope of a single dissertation!).
We wish Lauri Coleman the best as she continues her research at the MHS and then returns to The College of William and Mary to complete her dissertation.

IT Management Slideshow: Corporate Leadership Gap Looms Large
With the Great Recession subsiding, organizations could be headed for a leadership gap as they seek to ramp up growth. CIOs and other corporate leaders are expected to meet business goals, attain profit targets and retain top talent. But, very few employers feel that their top executives are performing any of these roles particularly well, according to a recent survey from human resources consulting firm Aon Hewitt. This comes at a critical time, the survey reveals, given that the majority of businesses are now focusing on revitalizing talent recruitment and retention efforts. "As we emerge from one of the worst recessions in history, company executives must develop new leadership skills in order to improve workforce productivity and stimulate engagement," said Amy Mills, vice president with Aon Hewitt. "They also must invest in developing middle managers who can bridge the gap between leadership strategy and employee actions, and are best positioned to effect change. In fact, our survey shows a crisis in confidence that corporate leaders will be able to reposition their companies for profitable growth and create an engaging work environment." The research also demonstrates that employers aren't happy with the commitment level of the workforce in general. More than 1,320 U.S. employers took part in the survey. Here are 11 highlights from the report:

46 U.S. Code § 51510 - Deferment of service obligation under student incentive payment agreements
The Secretary of Transportation may defer the service commitment of an individual under section 51509(d)(5) of this title (as specified in the agreement under section 51509) for not more than 2 years if the individual is engaged in a graduate course of study approved by the Secretary. However, deferment of service as a commissioned officer on active duty must be approved by the Secretary of the affected military department (or the Secretary of Commerce, for service with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration).

Carlson School Wins International Health Case Competition
Carlson School Part-Time MBA student Bryana Mayer ('15 MBA), and Full-Time MBA students Tarun Jain ('15 MBA), and Svetlana Sandberg ('15 MBA) won first place in the Business School Alliance for Health Management Annual Competition "Creating Value in Healthcare Using Health Information Technology" on April 20 in Nashville, Tenn. The team prepared a case study on an entrepreneurial strategy that utilized health care information technology to create value. In only its second year participating, the Carlson School bested teams representing 10 business schools from across the country.
The three team members each brought real-world medical industry experience to the team. Both Mayer and Jain applied lessons from their courses in the Carlson School Medical Industry Leadership Institute (MILI) to compose their entry.
"I appreciate the opportunity to learn from students with a wide range of education, work, and life experiences. I believe capitalizing on our varied backgrounds and using the skills acquired in MILI courses like the MILI Valuation Lab, gave us a competitive advantage over other teams," says Mayer.
The entrants were judged on the comprehensiveness of research supporting the case, the clarity of problem identification, overall strength of analysis, and consideration of key risks and uncertainties. The competition judges represented six of the competing schools. The Carlson School won second place in last year's competition.
"This win demonstrates the Carlson School's medical industry MBA program is one the best and most innovative in the nation," says Professor Stephen Parente, director of MILI. "No other school competing has consistently ranked this high in the competition for multiple years. With competition from Harvard, Berkeley and Duke, there should be no doubt Carlson MBA students perform at a globally elite level."
Mayer, Jain, and Sandberg were awarded $10,000 from BAHM for their win. The Haas School of Business, Duke University's Fuqua School of Business, and Harvard Business School were among the competitors.

MyUB: UB's Personalized Intranet Portal
Hugh W. Jarvis is cybrarian/Web information coordinator, Creative Services, University at Buffalo. He can be reached at email@example.com.
MyUB is a customizable Web portal that delivers personalized, useful and timely information to the University at Buffalo (SUNY) community. Built in-house on a multi-server Oracle platform, it uses Cold-Fusion, Perl, XML (EXtendable Mark-up Language) and RSS (Really Simple Syndication) to display fine-grained information to the end-user.
With over 2000 links, a dozen customized applications, hundreds of wellness tips and a steady stream of announcements, news bulletins and events listings, MyUB provides timely and year-round access to the tools our faculty and students use for their everyday lives.
The portal is integrated with campus administrative systems. UB's institutional profile for each user is the keystone for the delivery of customized information, allowing myriad resources supporting each user's role at the university to display. In addition user records from personnel files, registration records and library circulation details provide customized information for each user.
The portal's project team is based in the university's Communications and Administrative Computing offices, with strong partnership from the Libraries, Office of Student Affairs, several other core divisions and MyUB's stakeholder network that has touched virtually every office on campus. In the past year, steering committees have been formed to coordinate strategic planning, marketing and development for specific audiences (faculty, staff and student).
Streamlined Information
As users log in to MyUB, they are paired with their institutional identity to facilitate a process called fine-graining. By identifying faculty or student, departmental affiliation, division, program, employment status and even bargaining unit, the portal automatically streamlines the content it displays to what is most relevant to each person.
For example, both a physics undergraduate student and a professor in that department will see librarian-selected links to the same set of databases and guides judged most suited to their scholarly activities. But, while the professor will also have access to MyUB's teaching and research tabs, the student will instead find our academic advisement and course planning tabs, plus links to the undergraduate catalog and services like Web registration. The student will further be pushed toward the library "research assistant" pages, while the professor will see a convenient channel of links devoted to teaching resources.
None of this would be possible without ongoing, active participation from stakeholders who suggest the appropriate resources, as well as the extensive behind-the-scenes access control coding, keywording and indexing. And very successfully, this knowledge base is adjusted proactively and reactively on a constant basis to meet predicted and observed user needs.
Various assessment tools are available, all utilized aggressively to maintain and enhance the portal content and function.
The portal initially rolled out to undergraduates in the fall of 2000. From login statistics, we know that penetration has reached 93% of undergraduates (of 18,000). Released to all students in 2001, use has reached a somewhat smaller 70% of graduate students (of 7400), and 62% of professional students (of 2000). Finally, in 2003, the portal was opened to all employees, with corresponding use by faculty reaching 37% (of 8700) and 56% for staff (of 6500).
These numbers are to be expected. MyUB is actively marketed to undergraduates participating in their summer orientation. But for the other less homogenous audiences, less aggressive approaches are applied. A recent training partnership with our Educational Technology Center should expand faculty use. Greater employee use is expected when such university-wide services as parking registration and the budget database are available.
Click data (Fall 2003) shows that students rely on MyUB for online registration and academic records tools (31%), the UBlearns course management system (18%), library resources (13%), news (11%), critical alerts like academic deadlines (9%), planning tools (8%) and computing resources (5%). Similar information is monitored for all audiences.
A survey is launched the end of each spring semester. Regular and open-ended questions provide a useful, albeit subjective, track record to compare with previous years. In the most recent survey (2003), over 10,000 students (44%) responded. They reported a high level of contentment in the system, with 89% rating it "good" to "excellent," 98% indicating it contained useful information and 95% stating it was easy or at least satisfactory to use. From a communication perspective, we were happy to see regular usage, with 71% reporting they logged in at least several times each week. This means our alerts, news items and event announcements are not landing on unwatched screens.
The general comments on these surveys contain a wealth of useful suggestions and ideas for new resources, ranging from an interactive scheduler to design changes to a more powerful search engine and closer integration with other systems like campus email, course schedules, registration and UBlearns. Also popular were deeper links to specific department resources, news and weather, as well as ready access to the library circulation system (which has since been integrated).
MyUB receives feedback for all the integrated campus systems, so we are able to pass along a wealth of comments, as well as a general consensus for one, campus-wide sign-on and universal 24/7 hours.
This year we launched MyPage, a truly customized MyUB. In addition to controlling design features colors, font size and whether links are underlined users can now draw on existing portal channels for almost total control of their MyPage content, although we do require the presence of institutional "Need to Know" alerts (see Figure 1). Our respondents took this enhancement for granted and immediately requested further personalization typical Generation Y behavior. As a result of that feedback, we now allow users to set MyPage as their default start page.
Figure 1: The author's MyPage shows a customized display of several news, events and library resource channels.
Finally, we receive a year round flow of unsolicited feedback from MyUB users as well as automated, weekly search keyword reports (actual terms used during portal searches). These are monitored for content areas in need of expansion, old information needing removal or programming flaws, and all join the lively interaction with our stakeholders.
All of these communication avenues form a dynamic, complex ecosystem with the portal at its heart. For more information on this project, please visit our public website www.buffalo.edu/aboutmyub where you can read a series of articles, access demo versions or leave feedback.

A person who is so in tune with their body they eat the healthy food it craves. Their eat habits are a combination of vegetarian, paleo, vegan and omnivore. They may eat a vegan diet for weeks and then change to an omnivore diet following what their body craves.
I follow a paleo diet; what type of diet do you follow? I'm a cravetarian!
