NORTHFIELD, Minn. - Although MIT didn't showcase its top lineup, the Engineers still managed to impress at the incredibly competitive St. Olaf Invitational, Saturday morning. Sophomores Maria Monks and Jacqui Wentz led a great team effort, which netted an 8th-place finish out of 25 teams.
Monks split 23:38 to finish first for MIT and 22nd overall in a field that featured over 170 runners. Wentz delivered a strong performance after splitting 23:56 en route to a 32nd - place finish. Freshman Katy Gordon came through the chute in 24:13, good for 49th on the board, while junior Liz Labuz (24:19) and rookie Alina Gatowski (24:22) capped the scoring for MIT. Gatowski finished 60th overall, the fifth best placing for a No. 5 runner in Saturday's meet.

To continue to protect and serve
The Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. (CALEA) awarded advanced accreditation with excellence to the Missouri State Highway Patrol at its fall conference banquet in Jacksonville, FL, on Saturday evening, November 17, 2012. This marks the seventh time the Patrol has successfully been reviewed and approved for accreditation. The Patrol has maintained its accredited status since 1992, when it became the 11th state law enforcement agency to become accredited by CALEA.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol successfully completed a gold standard assessment process, which focuses primarily on processes and outcomes associated with standards specific to agency policies. The most recent reaccreditation also was achieved with excellence, a designation by CALEA to recognize the effective use of accreditation as a model for enhanced public safety service delivery.
"The Missouri State Highway Patrol adheres to internationally accepted standards in fulfilling its mission to deliver high quality law enforcement services to the citizens it serves," said Colonel Ron Replogle, superintendent of the Missouri State Highway Patrol. "Being recommended for accreditation for the seventh time is an important distinction for the Missouri State Highway Patrol. We look forward to our continued affiliation with CALEA."
Approximately 1,000 agencies from the US, Canada, Mexico, Barbados, and Bermuda participate in CALEA accreditation processes. Twenty-three Missouri law enforcement agencies participate in the CALEA process.

More reflection back to early days (and present) of my learning Mandarin experience. I very quickly discovered that the Internet is packed full of opportunities to listen to Chinese media, if anything the modern learner is spoilt compared to language learners of the past. In the early stages listening to Chinese radio can help to acclimatise your ears to the sounds of mandarin, later on you can use it to practice your listening understanding and learn new language.
One huge resource is Chinese radio, like radio stations in other countries many are available to listen to online, with the right software you can even record for later reference, there are some difficulties though. Many Chinese websites still insist on writing pages that only work in Internet Explorer, utilise Windows media player for streaming, have intricate security scripts that break systems that would otherwise work or just load their pages with so much guff that downloads from some countries are almost impossible due to poor bandwidth. Then there is the problem of reading the Chinese to find a station that may be of interest or to find the page that actually has the audio stream (sometimes deviously hidden).
There is some effort involved, step one for all Chinese media online is to master the use of the excellent Videolan (vlc) media player, which will cope with a wide range of audio and video formats and can be used to save streams also (any other suggestions for media players this versatile gratefully received). You are probably going to have to look quite hard to find stations that you like but a good starting point is this Chinese page that has links to a large number of stations (both radio and television), if you are lucky and have the right plugins etc. many will play in your web-page.
I prefer stations that have chat shows or health programmes/phone ins, there is a lot more accessible language than news stations and music stations, I quickly learnt to try stations that have 生活 life) in the title first and usually avoid stations with 新闻 (news) in their title. If a page doesn't play the station (or even if it does) then you can try to view source in your browser to get to the media link. For example one station I like at the moment is a Shanghai story station, the media link is mms://184.108.40.206/sgwy you should be able to paste this into Windows media player or use it to open a network link in Videolan and listen away.
It can be a lottery, sometimes poor network connectivity can mess up all your attempts, but audio is far more resilient to poor bandwidth than video. How you use these resources is up to you. I invested in some wireless headphones a while ago, so right now I can go outside and do some gardening whilst listening to Chinese radio.

Current Law Students / Products Liability Question« on: May 15, 2009, 05:22:31 PM »
Just took my torts final and have a question. The question was dealing with a vitamin supplement that contained ephedrine and the user had a seizure. The fact pattern talked about the label of the product saying basically that it had a poor warning and that in studies ephedrine had been linked to seizures. The call of the question asked what advice you would give the plaintiff. I anazlyzed the question under failure to warn and next talked about the possiblity of a strict liability products action as well as a negligence theory. My question is: can you have both a failure to warn and strict products liability action for the same product? Is the failure to warn action limited to products that can't be made safer?

RunCore isn't a brand that's well known in North America, but they happen to be the largest SSD manufacturer in China. Not only that, but its consumer oriented products only make up a fraction of its SSD product portfolio. The rest of the products offered by RunCore are oriented towards enterprise, industrial and military applications. It's in this focus that many of RunCore's drives are ruggedized, including its consumer oriented drives. Today we'll be looking at a drive from RunCore's brand new flag ship series, Pro V Max, which is replacing the Pro V series as RunCore's fastest consumer level drives.
The main point of evolution between the original Pro V and the Max is referred to as a Golden Firmware. Comparing the specifications of the two drives, the two differing details surround the read speeds of the drives. The Max increases the maximum read speed by 10MB/s to 560MB/s, and 4K IOPS read from 40000 to 50000. We'll see if this Golden Firmware is as good as its name implies.
|SATA III, backwards compatible with SATA I/II
|100.2 x 69.85 x 9mm
|Flash Media
|Max Speed (read/write)
|560 / 525MB/s
|4K IOPS (read/write)
|50000 / 60000
The RunCore Pro V Max SSD we're looking at today sports a full metal exterior, which is common across all of RunCore's lines of enclosed SSDs. The metal exterior gives credence to RunCore's claim of ruggedness, and it looks unique compared to the style of most of the other drives on the market. The only identifier on the top of the ProV Max drive is RunCore's logo, with no mention of the model of the drive.
There are screw mounting holes on the Pro V Max in standard locations on the side, so you shouldn't have any problems mounting them in any 2.5" drive bays. This includes compatibility with Apple based computers with 2.5" drives.
The only way to know which specific model of RunCore SSD this is, is by reading the sticker on the bottom of the drive. It's pretty non-descript, especially with the word 'Max' in the model name. You'd assume their branding/marketing folks would want that term flaunted all over the product.
The only connectors on the Pro V Max are for SATA data and power. They are the standard location, so this drive should have no problems being used in 2.5" hot swap bays or notebook computers.
Taking a peek at the inside of the Pro V Max, we can see LSI's Sandforce SF-2281 controller (aka flash storage processor).
The Pro V Max uses Intel 25nm MLC NAND, with a 16GB (128Gbits) capacity per module. This adds up to 256GB in total. By nature of the Sandforce controller, one module is reserved for use for firmware and overprovisioning, so this leaves 240GB.

On Hosting Our First Food Swap
A few months ago I posted a video of a food swap in Portland. The idea of meeting my neighbors to share our homemade, homegrown, and foraged foods was so inspiring that I decided to start a food swap in my own area ... and am totally convinced that everyone else should do the same!
In a food swap, no money changes hands and participants simply trade foods they made, grew, or found themselves. One person might bring homemade bread, another several jars of fruit preserves, and another herbs from their garden. Bring 20 fresh baked scones to the swap and you might go home with lemon curd, garlic confit, lavender, handmade pasta, salsa, shortbread, and more.
It's a way to diversify one's pantry, for sure, but even more than that, I discovered how special it is to bring people together to share the bounty of their labor and creativity. Nearly all of the swappers at my first event were strangers to begin with (assembled by the power of social media and word of mouth!) but wound up in boisterous conversation telling stories about what they'd made, trading canning tips, and talking about the neighborhood. Many of us were excited to finally meet other people who shared our passion not just for eating, but for making local food.
Whether you hold a swap with 5 people or 50, I highly recommend giving it a try. You'll come away with new foods – and friendships. To learn more about how I did it, you can visit the Los Angeles Food Swap site, which also includes links to existing food swaps around the world (a new one seems to pop up every day!).
These are also really good resources that I turned to when learning about swaps:
• The Hip Girl's Guide To Homemaking
• Brooklyn Homesteader
• Sustainable Food For Thought
Have you organized or attended a food swap? Or are you inspired to do it now? Tell us about your experience!

Oregon State Police is continuing the investigation into Monday night's traffic crash on Highway 35 near Mt. Hood Meadows that injured two people, one seriously.
On Dec. 24 at approximately 8:27 p.m., a white 1993 Honda Accord driven by Cornelio Diaz Flores, 28, from Hood River, was northbound on Highway 35 near milepost 67 when the Honda traveled off the highway into Pocket Creek Sno-Park parking area and collided into three unoccupied parked vehicles.
Several people, including two nurses, were across the highway having a Christmas Eve bonfire and heard the crash. They ran to the scene and started providing emergency medical care to Diaz Flores and passenger Cesar Alonzo Mendoza, 27, from Parkdale. Both were unconscious.
Two persons drove on Highway 35 until they found an ODOT worker in a snow plow and reported the crash, then continued driving until they had cellphone service and called 9-1-1.
Diaz Flores, who was driving with a suspended license, was transported by ambulance to Hood River Memorial Hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.
Zarate-Mendoza was initially transported by ambulance to Mt. Hood Meadows where he was picked up by LifeFlight and taken to Oregon Health & Science University for treatment of serious injuries. Neither were using safety restraints.
OSP troopers from The Dalles Area Command office were assisted at the scene by OSP troopers from Portland, Hood River County Sheriff's Office, Parkdale Fire Department and ODOT.
Trooper Brent Ocheskey is the lead investigator working in conjunction with the Hood River County District Attorney's Office. Ocheskey said the report will be ready for the DA to decide upon any criminal charges shortly after Jan. 1.
OSP and ODOT urge travelers to be prepared for potential hazardous winter driving conditions in mountain passes and other areas of the state. Please make sure your vehicle is properly equipped and to drive at safe and sober at all times.
Additional holiday traffic safety information and tips is available at www.oregon.gov/OSP. Up-to-date road and weather information is also available at www.TripCheck.com.

text: Johnny knows what's up This year, just like every year, I was asked to join in on some Thanksgiving feasts here in Ontario. My brothers and their children are in the interior of BC, and my mom is now in Arizona, so there is no real family turkey dinner for me, and there hasn't been for some time. Over the years, I have mostly not taken part in Thanksgiving dinners, and the few times that I have joined families, it has been nothing short of awkward.

As most of you know, I've been working with NYeC to promote the Digital Health Conference since the very first Digital Health Conference 4 years ago. It's a great event and I get a chance to meet many of you readers there. Plus, I just love spending time in NYC. If you've never been, you can register here (20% off your registration when you use the discount code: HCS).
I just heard about a new feature at the conference this year: The Patient Shark Tank. Here's a description of what they have in store:
How do we ensure that the patient voice is amplified in the design, the development, or enhancement of innovations created FOR the patient? Patient communities are emerging as key influencers and disrupting the healthcare landscape. They are impacting strategies, policies, and setting the stage for new patient-centric innovations. Patients are now sought after thought leaders influencing the way healthcare systems think about and interact with patients and prodding them to improve the patient experience.
Join us as our judges rate innovations from the patient and caregiver perspective and innovators build their perspective into the innovations designed to serve them. As each innovator pitches their concept or initiative, our patient and caregiver panelists will ask targeted questions based on their experiences to understand how the innovation uniquely addresses patient needs. In addition, we will integrate clinician perspective to understand whether a doctor would prescribe the innovation to their patients.
I'm a huge fan of Shark Tank, so I love the idea. I only hope that they've got a line up of judges that are as entertaining as Shark Tank. Sometimes these events can get pretty bland if they choose judges who are shy about sharing their opinions on a company or product. That doesn't benefit the companies or the audience.
Unfortunately, you won't have much time to get your idea submitted. The deadline to apply to pitch your innovative concept or initiative is Thursday, October 16th. I look forward to seeing what ideas get pitched at the event.

About this font family
This family typeface consists of three fonts which have the same weight and style, but have been designed to work best at different sizes and in slightly different contexts. It is based on handwriting and calligraphy and consists of three typefaces: Rumba Small (for texts), Rumba Large (for headlines) and Rumba Extra (for words).
The family is based on the idea of fonts that are interrelated depending on the differences in contrast, expressiveness and use, not on the classic range of weights. This type has been designed specifically but not exclusively for use in the languages spoken in Spain, hence special attention has been paid to the design of accents, special characters and ligatures. More…
In a later development it was extended to CE Character Set.

Nov. 25, 2007
The Lady Bisons had fun in the Hawaiian sun, but while their results weren't all that bright on the basketball court they did make a strong impression on the teams participating in the tournament.
Sunday afternoon in Honolulu the Lady Bisons closed out their three-game run in the Rainbow Wahine Classic hosted by the University of Hawaii with a 76-55 loss to the University of Kentucky from the Southeastern Conference.
"Our intensity level, our tenacity and our execution were much better against UAB (Saturday) and Kentucky," Lipscomb coach Frank Bennett said. "We were playing a stronger and more athletic team in Kentucky, but we were only six down with eight-and-half minutes left to play. The game was closer than the score indicates.
"If we had played that well against Hawaii we would have probably beaten them. Everybody told us we should do well in our conference this season based on the effort we gave here."
Kentucky hit the first shot of the game, a jumper shot in the lane by Amani Franklin and never trailed.
With 11:45 left to play in the firt half the Lady Bisons pulled with one of Kentucky at 11-10 on a jumper in the paint by freshman forward Valerie Bronson. She was fouled on the play and hit her free throw attempt, tying the game at 11-11.
Kentucky then opened up the game going on a 9-0 run to lead 20-11 with 7:02 left before intermission.
At the half Kentucky led 34-25.
In the second half the Lady Bisons pulled within four points of Kentucky (43-39) on a jump shot in the lane by forward Miriam McAlister with 13:26 left to play.
"We were able to adjust a lot," Bennett said. "We got consistent play off of our bench. We made four or five turnovers at the start of the second half and that put us in a hole."
With 8:31 left on the clock the Lady Bisons fought to cut the Kentucky lead to six (53-47) on a pair of free throws by freshman forward Cree Nix.
Senior guard Catie Woods was the only Lady Bisons player in double figures with 10 points. McAlister and Katie Rollins each had nine.
McAlister and Nix grabbed five rebounds apiece for the Lady Bisons.
The Lady Bisons hit 13-of-47 field goal attempts, 27.7 percent. Kentucky connected on 27-of-61 shots from the field (44.3 percent)
"We're not shooting as well as would like," Bennett said. "We have to work harder on that."
Sarah Elliott led Kentucky in scoring with a game-high23 points. Samantha Mahoney chipped in with 12, with half of her points coming from the free throw line.
Elliott recorded a double-double. She also grabbed a game-high 12 rebounds.
Kentucky held a 45-32 advantage on the boards.
The Lady Bisons are 1-6 overall. Kentucky evened its record at 3-3.

Schmidt was misquoted by CNet, and without verifying by actually checking the video of the interview on YouTube, Arment, Gruber, and Siegler jumped on Schmidt's quote as yet another opportunity to bash Google. This is how CNet misquoted Schmidt:
As it turns out, though, the real quote, including the context, is very, very different. Not only is the quote itself substantially different, Schmidt is actually honest by pointing out several mistakes Google has made, and by praising Apple for doing a fantastic job with their application store. The real quote:
Not only was Schmidt actually talking about Ice Cream Sandwich and not Android as a whole, the key here really is the verb "want", which changes the entire atmosphere of the quote. All this just proves once again that when it comes to directly quoting someone, you have to first look at whether the quote is correct, as well assess the context. In other words, you have to actually check the source of the quote (if possible).
Now, we at OSNews never have any problems with admitting mistakes (I'm only human, after all) - now let's see just how big CNet, Arment, Gruber, and Siegler really are. They are all influential bloggers or websites, and should know better by now.

Rowan atkinson live dating webcam who is rex burkhead dating
There was a holder for a six CD cartridge in the trunk. Of course it'll have to be something close by because I don't have a car." She took my hand and held it in hers as I drove back to my house. I couldn't wait to be with you again," she said as she lifted my hand to her mouth, kissing it. "This is going to be the best summer ever." She flashed me one of those amazing million dollar smiles she had. There was so much tender love and passion in her kisses.
The thing about my car's CD player was that there was no CD slot in the dashboard. I thought about you all the time." I took her hand and kissed it, reciprocating the same gesture. I could see how much she loved me from how she looked at me, and also by how she kissed me.
I'd fuck her like I'd fuck the 15-year-old girl that sat in front of me at the Green Day concert. In retrospect, she could have been twelve, but I'm not choosy. I unconsciously ran my hands over her exposed thighs, rubbing them as she seduced me. "So you're saying it's all right when we're all in the same room, but not when we're alone? Val didn't have the air conditioner on high like Lee and I had. " she exclaimed as she leaned down and kissed me on the lips. When Larisa walked out of the terminal, I realized I had forgotten just how breathtakingly beautiful she was. As I saw her, a flood of happy and comforting memories filled my loins… I remembered how good I felt around her and how she had a way of making all my problems instantly fade away. I was surprised they weren't bright red hard shell suitcases from the 70's to be perfectly honest.
All of a sudden Val jumped up and wrapped her legs around my waist, causing me to lose my balance and fall backwards onto her bed. "Val…" "Oh come on Matt," she said as she leaned down to kiss my neck. I had wanted to sleep with her since the first day I saw her at school. Val pressed her soft warm lips against my neck, gently pushing her tongue past them, licking my skin. I was at full attention now, my manhood forming a tent in my dark green cargos, rubbing against the thin red material of her shorts. Larisa was with us." She gave me a weird 'I'm deep in thought' look. Seriously Gary, anger management this winter break. I decided to peruse the nearby gift shop and bought a guitar magazine and a Snickers bar because really… I saw the plane pull up to the connecting tunnel, and a few minutes later, people exited the aircraft. She looked around for me, carrying her backpack on her shoulder. We made it about two hundred feet before I almost collapsed like Jesus carrying the cross… "…Just gotta rest the hands." I wiggled my fingers around like the bassist from Tantric, trying to loosen them up… God there are so many inside jokes in this story that only one person would get. She was the only person that had suitcases without wheels.
Val put down her notebook, giving me her full attention. Well, I'm sure we'll see each other over the summer. Val would probably come to my house to visit Larisa and I at least once or twice. "Yeah." "It was quite a year, huh," she half laughed. It was warmer out now, so all the girls had on their tiny tight t-shirts and short shorts with a word written across the ass. She sat with her back against the wall, her legs spread apart, her knees slightly bent. Her right leg was closest to me, and she rubbed her foot against my thigh as she looked me right in the eyes, rubbing her intimate area. I finally stood up in a mighty attempt to thwart any more sexual temptation from this vixen. as soon as my dick is soft I'm gonna get goin Val." "Haha. Her hair smelled like tropical fruit, gently resting against my face as I cradled her close to me. I was immediately brought back into Heaven as her lips made contact with mine. ———————————————————————————————————— "That one over there," I said as I pointed to the car a few spaces down.
And it was a pretty kick ass story if I do say so myself. But I also have dreams that you stop hogging the covers." "That's not even a dream-dream. So…" "Pssh…" She pushed my arm in retaliation as she began to smile. We'll end up having this house to ourselves for a few weeks." "Haha. A dream come true." I hope we would still have a sex life in this fake marriage or I will divorce her ass in a heartbeat.
I'll tell you this, I will never get a footjob from anyone in that field of sport. "You too Valerie." She hadn't let go, but instead held me tighter. After a few seconds of Valerie kissing and sucking on my neck, and softly moaning, I pushed her away from me. It also caused my cock to swell up in thickness and length. I could definitely gather that there was going to be some sex in the coming months. I wasn't even sure if I used it right but it sure sounded good. And I want you to dust everything off with a damp rag before you put it away. Her dirty blonde hair had gotten longer since the last time I saw her, now laying a bit past her shoulders. The top floor of the place erupted in flames with the fire of a thousand suns. Larisa ran towards me in what seemed like slow motion, just like a movie. I threw her bags onto it and we made our way to the parking lot, where we saw a guy that couldn't have looked more like a shoe bomber unless he had "shoe bomber" written on his forehead. And it's the best car ever." I unlocked it using my clicker and I made the OOO EHH OOO locking noise. This car's gonna take you around all summer." "Leather seats… Nice," said Larisa as she looked around the luxury vehicle.

Jack S. Futterman Oral History
Part XII- General Observations & Experiences
Reviewing Papers--Misc. Topics
Q: Okay, good. (At this point Jack began reviewing some letters and papers he had and to comment on topics discussed in the papers.)
Did you know Mercia Laton Kahn? Know of her?
Q: Who was it that mentioned that name to me before?
She was a Regional Representative; she was first in claims policy, a top policy analyst in the days when Ewell Bartlett was the head. Then later, she went out to San Francisco, she headed one of the offices in California and trained many, many analysts who came east from her office. She was a powerful lady, very gracious. She had Baltimore roots. This was just a minor reference, but it shows you the kind of a person she was.
At my retirement, there was a fairly new Assistant Secretary for Administration and Management of HEW, he was a hot-shot business person, that was brought in. This was a time of considerable stress where there was pressure from the upper levels on Social Security. This was 1972. At the time I retired, they were beginning to exert a lot of pressure for us to reduce staff and all that. And here's the guy that's supposed to do it. He also happened to share with me his opinion about my services, he spoke very highly of them.
Oh, one of the things that I very much encouraged was the toastmaster's club and toastmistress' club. I joined with them on a couple of occasions and talked with them. I thought it was great for our people on their own to want to develop ways of better expressing themselves.
Q: I'm going to borrow this and make a copy, okay? A note from Rod Brady.
Career Advancement
In SSA grade advancement was not a primary consideration for me, except perhaps a few years before I retired. I've mentioned to you that when Bartlett died, when I was Bob Ball's Executive Officer, he told me "you're the best qualified man for the job and you are entitled to have it. It is a higher grade, no reason why you shouldn't, but I would hate for you to go and I would like for you to stay where you are now, and I will make sure that you don't lose anything." Well, Bob Ball was not immediately able to make good on his promise to me, he had made a real effort to do it. I understood it and it didn't bother me.
Q: So you were ready to serve, basically, is what you are saying to me?
That's right! Essentially the same thing happened at least once more. The only time that I said I no longer was willing to do this was when I knew that my retirement was but a few years in the future and the higher salary levels would significantly increase my pension amount and Joe Fay retired from his job as the head of Accounting Operations, the organization in which I first worked, and I was without any question . . .
Q: Qualified for that job?
Not only qualified, Bob said the position was mine if I wanted it, but he was asking me not to take it and to stay where I was and he would get me a promotion, and he did make an effort. I was told by some people from the Department, who were privy to it, that Bob Ball went to Civil Service and made a kind of plea, plea is not strong enough. He made a presentation. The very strongest this guy ever heard anybody make, you know, why Civil Service should classify my job at the Grade 18 level. I think that it got me a Grade 17, and I got the Grade 18 when I went in 1965 to take Roy Touchet's place in the Office of Administration. I may have the sequence of these things wrong.
Anyway the whole record of my service reveals that I just did not keep reaching out to get the most money and the most prominent position. You know the nature of staff work is such that I had a background in the area, years of managing mods, units of the Division of Accounting Operations, several thousands. And I was also 1st rated in the Control Branch in terms of staff positions. And in Program Analysis on the Program side. And in Financial Management. Throughout it all I never pushed for the highest grade or more money as long as I was happy in all of these positions. I never had a job that I wasn't happy in. One of the things that Bob Ball and I, in the evening when we had a chance sometimes to swap stories, we agreed on was, "There isn't any job that isn't interesting, and people who worked in what seemed to them to be unimportant jobs, needed to be helped to understand the importance of their work and why what they did was important to the organization, and indeed it is important." I always felt that any job I had to do I would find ways to make it very satisfying and challenging.
I always liked to save time in the end by laying a groundwork first before conveying to you what my thoughts are. This is the way I usually work so that people understand where I am coming from.
So often a Supervisor would call somebody in his office and tell them do this, and he doesn't give a starting point. He doesn't begin to give the party that is going to do this work some feeling about the direction that he should take. So I usually would try to sketch-out what I think would be helpful. Sometimes I go further than to sketch-out--without circumscribing his effort--I'm not that kind of a fool. I let him know, if you can do better then that's fine.
Understanding SSA's History
I want to highlight some thoughts about your developing the history of SSA. The usual history, which I am sure is not your aim, is one of chronology about dates, and leaders. Unfortunately a lot of histories are mostly that. When I studied history in school, we didn't get into the economic causes or the geographical influences, or the idea behind various events. It was just to learn that in 1588 the British Armada defeated the Spanish Armada, things like that. I didn't know much about the Magna Carta, except it was signed in 1215. I knew the event, but I did not appreciate the significance of it. I think it is a necessary starting point for you to pick up the ideas, the relationships of individuals. It is a part of the history.
I am suggesting another depth, beyond the usual approach, and it came out in the kind of discussion that you and I have had on individual matters. Like you wanted to know about Program Simplification. You wanted to know about other programs, etc. And my answers to you were not simplistic. I always try to give you these rounded pictures, to give you a better understanding, a communication of the times, of the matters that then were important to deal with. Some things that were said or done 20 years ago, or in another setting, are notable and what makes them notable of course is they were creative ideas then, they helped solve major problems then, etc. So that is why it is important to know the setting.
And also I am thinking to the extent that you can, you might do perhaps more. Try to identify the individuals with the things that they did within the organization, that's point one. What made him/her significant. A greater depth than just to say that he was a Commissioner. He was a Commissioner that did more than be a routine Commissioner. He did more than selling the legislation on "the hill." Which is typical of Commissioners. There are always higher staffs that develop a program and he's selling it. But he was, I am not talking about Bob Ball specifically now, but I have Ball very much in mind, but he was also busy in the design stage of the legislation and I'm talking about the original program, and not about Ball, but a guy like Wilbur Cohen who was on Edwin Witte's staff. Cohen was very much a junior, but when he moved over to Social Security under Altmeyer, he became identified with all aspects of it. Very much identified with it throughout. Too bad that you never met Wilbur Cohen.
Q: I actually met him once, I never spoke to him, but I just shook his hand.
Remarkable guy. First he was a real "people person." He didn't care where he got his ideas. I mean he would talk to everybody on an equal basis. And as friendly as a puppy dog, but I don't think that his friendliness caused people to show his high office any disrespect; Wilbur Cohen wasn't sensitive to status, but he was not insensitive.
So I just want to say that is one point of it. To identify in more detail the setting, etc. Like I tried for instance on Simplification. Many, people will say, "yes I was identified with it. I helped and such." You are not really telling anything other than he was identified with this and this program. That doesn't tell you a hell of a lot. It tells you a little bit, but it doesn't tell you a hell of a lot.
But like in Simplification, which is one question you were very interested in, I knew that in the field many people were cynical about some of our procedures, but they really misunderstand the situation, because they were not well informed. And so I said, let's give them first a base, a platform, on which they can understand better and as a result be more perceptive and less critical. I wasn't worried about the critical part, but I was worried about the ignorance part, reflected in our staff. Second, they, our field staff, should be a source of good ideas, program ideas as well, and everything else, and they can't be that kind of a source of good ideas if they proceed from a base of ignorance where they therefore think the solutions are easy. We wanted not only our staff to be able to give better information to people when they came in and sought information, and at the end we wanted SSA also to simplify the program. We wanted also to develop more knowledgeable people, not only to benefit from better ideas they may develop, but also to enable them to be resourceful. We also wanted to improve the career of employees by widening their understanding and making more think of a lot of challenging things to go in that direction.
So this was a well-rounded program. It doesn't necessarily get described by saying "Program Simplification." It doesn't, I say necessarily, I'm being very charitable, it doesn't get described, period. So if I merely say, "Yeah I was on the Program Simplification project," and if that was all of it, that would not really explain very much. Under certain circumstances some people are identified with something, I suppose, where they were the head of a group, or the nominal head of a group, and they didn't do a hell of a lot, except lend their name or their name got attached to it. I didn't work that way.
To finish it up, this is all in connection with developing SSA's history that when peoples names are used that an attempt be made to go well beyond that to try to identify the ways they made a difference. One must do it in some depth, in a way that goes beyond merely name-dropping. Like icebergs, when events seem to be, or are perceived to be, like icebergs, with only 10 percent visible above the water; real understanding of matters are not always the result of easily visible and obvious factors.
Remind me to follow up on a comment that I made early on, and I continue to make in relation to the red carpet Oscar Pogge and others used to lay out for the Regional Directors. This may be particularly apropos today since you and I have just returned from Hugh McKenna's funeral. In the eulogy bob Bynum made reference to "these towering figures, the Regional Directors." I'll put it on this tape, while thinking about Hugh McKenna today. They were in many, many respects outstanding people, certainly men of stature, commanding presence, etc. But they were not towering as Bob Bynum sees them today. I lived with them. I was lower-ranked in those days, but I saw them as they were, and I don't see them from the disadvantage of years later where looking back they may seem like the towering names in Social Security history. They were very prominent names in those days, but sometimes distance lends enchantment. That is well to know not just about Regional Directors, but everybody else.
I didn't know Arthur Altmeyer very well, I used to sometimes appear before him in some inside budget preparation for the Commissioner's Office budget hearings before the Senate and Congress with Roy Touchet. I was low man on the totem pole in those little private office discussions. Altmeyer certainly was not, nor should he have been expected to be, a towering figure in discussions of his office's "small potatoes" budget. Of all the people in the room there he probably knew the least about that budget. There was Bill Mitchell, his Executive Officer or Assistant. Roy Wynkoop, who was Bill Mitchell's Executive Assistant. Roy Touchet, who was my boss, and I was the Financial Officer of the BOASI. I think that Arthur Altmeyer should not have been expected to know all about the budget. But he was not even one that would get insights, except in areas where one expected that he would. He is a towering figure in Social Security, Arthur Altmeyer. He didn't tower alone, he had to have help.
That's one of the things that I want to go back to. There were many SSA people who were very bright and accomplished in lower ranks. The most notable thing that I remember Francis McDonald doing as he went around the country he identified "comers" and spread the word to officials back in headquarters, "You've got a good guy back there." He'd spread the apple seeds. The point that I am trying to make, or emphasize, is that so much of written history seems superficial, because of its thinness, because of the necessity to pick out the most important events and the most important people. Unfortunately, this creates a shallow impression of the history of whatever you are talking about. Whether it is Social Security, the legislation, the Social Security program, or whether it is about going to the moon. It's impossible, of course, to give everybody credit. But that is not my point. My point really is more to avoid the impression that the ones written about did it practically alone. They needed lots and lots of help. That does not diminish in any mature person's mind the outstanding character of the contributions that certain people made. It's still outstanding. In this world only God, if you believe in that approach, can do something completely on his own. In this world everybody is dependent, not only on staff, but colleagues and others, and there is a degree of inter-dependence. So somehow or other I hope you will work out ways to convey that notion. And I think one way would be to describe the kinds of things that people did in more depth than is usual.
If I am talking about Bob Ball, of whom I know a lot more than I know of others and who is the brightest and ablest person I ever worked with, I would try to work in, even you thought you can't give a lot of space to it, the kind of people he was working with and he was drawing support from. One resource he had was within Social Security and there was a staff there that helped him do that job and helped him project himself into other areas. But then he had people at other levels who would work with him, allies, but I'll go back to Social Security history, which we're concerned with. It doesn't take anything away from the man I have the greatest knowledge of, and I am far from knowing everything I would like to know about Bob Ball. I knew a lot just by working with him. It doesn't take away from his stature one whit to know that he had enough sense, intelligence, know-how, to draw into his area people who served him well. They reflect credit on themselves only to the degree to which they help to advance the common interest. Which is, in the Commissioner's case, the common interest was his, of leading the organization, to improve on its record of execution of the laws, to improve the laws and so forth. It doesn't take away from that fact, it enhances it.
This is a picture of Marion, my wife. She worked under me. In 1936-37 people came from every State in the Union; with college educations, graduate degrees, lawyers, professional people. They comprised one of the largest group of highly educated people who entered Federal employment at one time to do very routine tasks. Social activities sponsored by the employees were interesting too. We were all strangers in a strange town and turned to each other for various recreational doings. Office romances were everyday occurrences. It took a little while for ours to bloom. She was a very pretty girl. And her hair looked a little funny here.
This is when I got the DHEW Distinguished Service award. You don't recognize me.
Q: Yeah, I recognize you. I've seen plenty of pictures of you. A good looking guy, especially with that pipe; you look debonair.
Remember that speech I was talking about in St. Louis, where they sort of ganged up on us? Well, this is a writeup of that in the OASIS. "The Social Security Administration is big government," stated SSA's Executive Assistant. "And even without additional legislation," etc., explaining that he welcomed us getting bigger with time. The subject of the meeting was "bigness" and impersonal service.
Q: That's right; I remember now.
I don't mind taking a different point of view. And this is what I said here, (this is me): "I don't deplore bigness; I'm happy to see it in Social Security because it is a sign that we have arrived near the goal that was set for us." "I think there is strong evidence that on balance, mechanization and automation are forces for greater personality rather than impersonality." Do you remember the rationale I gave you?
Q: Yeah, we talked about it.
That we can better adapt the Social Security program provisions to the facts in the individual's case so that the Social Security program is more personalized instead of impersonalized.
"Today and Yesterday: Social Security." This is a youth opportunity program, which I gave a great big shove in Woodlawn. As I said, I was trying to advance integration. I used some top-notch people, especially Earl Young, who later was in disability. Did you know him?
Q: No.
He came to the central office from the Chicago Payment Center. He's a great big athlete-- this guy, black guy. Of course, most of the kids we get into the Summer Opportunity Programs were black. He knew how to really get them going. And Earl really made a cohesive group out of them, and gave many a preview of looking forward to a life of work with Social Security if they could. I think it helped to integrate us into the community very much.
A Disclaimer Regarding Perspectives
But that brings me to a final point, and that is to repeat my disclaimers. That whatever you get in terms of opinions, and my recollections, are subject to human error. My opinions, I realize, are very subject to error. I try to hold myself to an objective standard. I hardly ever say, "I'm positive of this or that." I am too well aware that errors can happen and I am, if anything, too motivated to communicate sharply and not enough motivated to the nuance of criticism that might appear. I want to make sort of a general statement, that one might have a lot of differences within the Social Security I grew up in with certain people. Some people just constitutionally don't want to agree, or want to establish some basis on which they can say they disagree. I sometimes must seem to claim what a listener might tend to regard as a "super virtuosity," a cleanliness of motivation. I assure you that I am aware of the dangers of embellishment and that I am trying to say these things as objectively as I am able. Of course I've long learned that my recollections of events often don't coincide with other participants. I say this in respect to people who have nothing but the greatest affection and good will for me.
I was reading in this book, these notes, last night as I was preparing for our conversation, and I was reading remarks by one of the people whom I trusted without reservation, he's now dead. He described certain events, perhaps in a loose way, which I thought kind of overstated his participation. I know one thing, and this would be in respect to Robert Ball, and if he was to be confronted with some of the things that I said earlier, he wouldn't recollect it that way. But I try to be especially disciplined in that respect. I believe what I am saying, otherwise I wouldn't say it, but not withstanding that, I fully expect that what I say may be open to challenge by other observers or participants.
So that sort of overrides everything that I say, it's my disclaimer. I don't have in my heart equal respect for all of my colleagues. I have more respect for some colleagues than I have for certain ones. But all of it is above the line. You know, I would be challenged to find people who I thought were minuses. I think we were an unusually select group, whether nature did the selection, or economics or whatever, but the time was such I think as to bless us with good people and they did well. We all had our share of flaws, as I had.
Anyway, that's that.

disconnects during games
opponents move, yet your time runs out
you play your move but lose additional time
pauses and stutters during chat

Additional simple steps
some simple steps to help your games, click your avatar in the top bar, and choose "edit settings" if you like bullet game and warzone games, I suggest you switch your board animations to "off", this will speed up the movement of the pieces, also enable the "autoqueen".
other simple things I am sure everyone knows but I will say them here anyway, dont multitask when playing rated games, i.e. having a download running, and streaming a HD movie while playing a rated game is your choice but you want to win dont you , have a look at your system settings too make sure your PC isnt in the middle of performing an online update.

NBC is delivering a TV movie inspired by Dolly Parton's childhood as an early holiday gift.
The network said Tuesday that "Dolly Parton's Coat of Many Colors" will air at 9 p.m. EST on Dec. 10.
Based on the country singer-songwriter's early years in rural Tennessee, the movie stars Alyvia Alyn Lind as the 9-year-old Parton.
Other cast members include Sugarland singer Jennifer Nettles and actor Ricky Schroder as Parton's parents as well as Gerald McRaney as her grandfather.
According to a NBC press release, the film is set in the Tennessee Great Smokey Mountains in 1955 and is neither a biopic nor musical about Parton's life and performing career, but rather a family-oriented faith-based story about the incidents in her and her family's life around the time she was 9 years old.
Production on "Dolly Parton's Coat of Many Colors" begins this week in Atlanta.

US donates $34 million to UN plan to help Syria
- Article by: JOHN HEILPRIN
- Associated Press
- November 9, 2012 - 1:01 PM
GENEVA - A U.N. plan to provide $836 million in emergency aid to Syrians battered by their nation's civil war ran into funding problems Friday despite an additional U.S. donation of $34 million.
The wide gap — about 50 percent — between refugee needs and donor pledges added to the gloom at a U.N. gathering Friday in Geneva of hundreds of aid officials and diplomats. Before the meeting, the U.N. said it had collected just 35 percent of the $488 million it says is needed for refugees and only 45 percent of the $348 million it says is needed for general humanitarian aid.
That and the lack of access for aid groups was making the goal of reaching the 2.5 million Syrians who need help and the more than 400,000 refugees who have fled the country seem impossible.
"There is more violence, there is more human suffering, there is more displacement and more losses, both physical and economic ... civilian Syrians continue to pay the price of this conflict," said Radhouane Nouicer, the U.N.'s regional aid coordinator for Syria.
Nouicer told reporters at the end of the closed-door meeting that the suffering among Syrians will just keep growing — and reaching them will continue to be difficult — as long as fighters "do not respect the neutrality and the impartiality" of aid workers.
Some 3 million Syrians are hungry, 1.2 million have been forced from their homes in Syria and 408,000 Syrians have fled to neighboring Turkey, Jordan, Lebanon and Iraq.
In the last 24 hours alone, Syria's civil war drove 11,000 people to flee to neighboring countries, including 9,000 refugees who went to Turkey, officials said. Another 1,000 each went to Jordan and Lebanon.
"I'm afraid that the news we have to report on the humanitarian front was still very sad," said Panos Moumtzis, the U.N.'s refugee agency regional coordinator. "This indicates a lack of any political solution to the crisis."
Activists say the civil war has killed more than 36,000 people since an uprising begin in March 2011 against President Bashar Assad's regime.

As the hardcore fans of Another already knew for months, the above is a one episode OVA that comes out in the above listed date. The thread is created a few days early to accommodate all form of anticipation and the eventual discussion that sure to take place once the one-eyed girl gets her yuri on.

T-4 days to Yuripocalypse ... I think?
Is this OVA really that yuritific, or are we just expecting it to be?
I'm more interested in how Mei will act towards Misaki ... and the prospect of the anime not devolving into a Final Destination Best of montage
Too much to hope for?

Spoiler for Ova:
I love what they did here in this episode. Gives us a better understanding of the character and background even better, and it shows us that she's not always an unfeeling robot that we always see in the series.

So thats what happened... The whole chain of events which leads to the start episode 1 to end of 12.
There are some happy moments and WTH just happened to Misaki? Leukaemia does not start its final stage that fast... (Unless if its very long.)
Lessons learned from this show in a nutshell:
1. To make your Ferris Wheel a fun ride, check that all screws are tighten up already.(What if Misaki fell from a great height?)
2. Never buy an umbrella with very sharp tips, or seriously, never!
3. If there are no other choices but sharp tip umbrellas, do not run down the stairs.
4. Workers should check all lifts are a- OK conditions.
5. Do not have teachers who are crazy later on which he brings his knife to suicide.(If is, close your eyes at the split second after the suicide.)
6. Do not go into water when it is raining. If you are injured, do not swim at all.
7. Do not go into a hotel where crazy people are waiting.
