Under pressure from the pro-Israel community, embattled former Media Matters for America fellow M.J. Rosenberg has finally parted ways with the left-wing media watchdog group. As Contentions has reported, Rosenberg was one of a handful of staffers at Democratic-affiliated Washington think tanks who used terms like "Israel-firster" and other dual-loyalty charges to attack Israel supporters and members of the Jewish community.
WFB's Adam Kredo reports on Rosenberg's resignation:
Months of public pressure and outrage from across the pro-Israel spectrum forced Media Matters for America staffer M.J. Rosenberg to tender his resignation Friday from the left-wing media watchdog group.
Rosenberg is the notorious proprietor of the term "Israel-firster," a phrase with origins in the white supremacist movement that many consider anti-Semitic. During his tenure at MMFA, Rosenberg proudly used the term in his weekly columns and on his Twitter feed in an attempt to paint pro-Israel lawmakers and American Jews as being more loyal to the state of Israel than America.
In a final post titled, Last Media Matters Column, Rosenberg signed off by admitting that he had tarnished the liberal group's image.
"The reason for this step is that it disturbed me greatly to see an organization to which I am devoted facing possible harm because of my critical writings about Israel," he wrote. "I have no doubt that the crowd that opposes any and all criticism of Israeli government policies will continue to turn its guns on Media Matters if I am associated with it."

Portman's dress was designed by Rodarte, a source tells People – a label run by her friends Laura and Kate Mulleavy. The brand, a favorite of the star's, is also significant to the couple: Rodarte designed the tutu Portman wore in Black Swan – the film where Portman and Millepied first met.
The white, A-line gown had a sheer top that covered Portman's chest and arms. The bride accessorized her dress with nude shoes, a veil, and a crown made of flowers.

Asus avoids Atom to get next Eee PC out early?
HP has same scheme
Asus may be working to bring forward the launch of its next Eee PC in a bid to beat rival sub-notebook makers to market, it has been claimed. If so, the Eee PC 900 could appear this month.
When the Eee PC 900 was announced in early March, it was said to be scheduled to ship in April. Later, Asus appeared to revise that timetable to shift the release to late May or early June. The move was blamed primarily on a slow-down in battery shipments, but we shouldn't ignore chip maker Intel's timeline for the release of its 'Diamondville' processor, the Atom-branded CPU designed for sub-notebooks like the Eee.
Last week at Intel Developer Forum, the chip giant said the Atom N270 - the mobile version of Diamondville - will debut in June.
Eee PC and friend: trying to come first
According to unnamed industry sources cited by DigiTimes, Asus can't wait and will use an older Intel dual-core ultra-low voltage processor - presumably something like the 1.06GHz Core 2 Duo U7500 or the 1.06GHz Core Duo U2400 - instead of Atom.
The moles said Asus' decision was based on a desire to ship ahead of Atom-based machines from Acer and HP. While Acer may well be waiting for Atom, HP certainly isn't and could well get its based 2133 Mini-Note sub-notebook, launched today out before the new Eee.
The HP machine is scheduled for a late April release, presumably because it's using the already available VIA C7-M processor.

Here Ya go,mate:
@AC the Ambulance motorcyclist
It should stand up to it pretty well, it's just about all solid state ('cept the processor fan). Mine stands up pretty well to being thrown into a rucksack and dragged around the country, or kept running in a rather well insulated, sealed pouch (while overclocked and playing Q3A...)
Though being dropped from a speeding motorcycle onto tarmac may just scuff it a bit!
@ Richard Kilpatrick
Where do you pass for me to do my Hobo impression?
This ambulance motorcyclist (M7S) wants to see how long the unit can stand up to being carted around at high speed.
Advertising that works
The marketing guys at Asus who suggested that picture for their campaign must be up for an enormous bonus.
When you say ship?
As it is pretty impossible to get the Asus eepc without having to wait 6 months it is likely if you want one of these by the time you get it Acer will be on the market. Asus have been unable to keep up with the limited demand of the 700/701, they should stick to cheap motherboards.

Anne McGrail '87
Writer and Producer, CSI
At Emmanuel, I learned a worldwide perspective, which has proven helpful in my job as a television writer-producer. When I first came to Emmanuel I felt as if I knew little about the outside world. When I left the College, however, I had a much stronger sense of the world around me and had the courage to go after what I wanted.
As a TV writer-producer, I've written and produced shows such as "CSI:NY," "CSI:Miami" and "Boomtown." Currently I'm working on a pilot about growing up in South Boston. I love what I do because I'm the boss, or one of the bosses, of every show I'm on. When I write an episode, I cast it, pick out wardrobe, choose locations, music, sound effects, etc. And then I get to see all my hard work on TV in just a matter of months!

Last month, thousands converged from all corners of the globe at the International AIDS Conference (AIDS 2012 ) to confront big drug companies, wealthy nations, and demand an end of AIDS. From South Africa, from Hattiesburg, Mississippi, from the Washington D.C., they demanded cheaper drugs and desperately needed prevention and treatment programs.
From the opening ceremonies to the very end of the conference, activist voices - younger, more international, more diverse, and as smart as ever - rang out loudly in the halls and in the streets over global and domestic HIV issues. For six days, this generation of new-bloods joined veteran activists in marches, occupations, "die-ins", rallies and direct action. They were vehemently cheered on by researchers, scientists and advocates from among the 25,000 who attended AIDS 2012.
On the first day protesters confronted Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her support of the Trans Pacific Free Trade Agreement limiting the manufacture of generic HIV meds for countries in need (On the last day of AIDS 2012 they did the same to Bill Clinton).
On Tuesday, ten thousand marched in five separate but coordinated protests. They raised voices and fists first in the halls of the convention center, then proceeded through the streets of Washington D.C. Following behind the banners of the "We Can End AIDS" Coalition, they chanted "pills costs pennies, profits cost lives!" A major branch of Bank of America on the march route closed for the day rather than contend with the angry protesters.
Among the protesters were those calling for the Robin Hood Tax on Wall Street financial transactions to pay to fund treatment and end the epidemic. Dressed in green hats and tights, a large contingent from National Nurses United AFL-CIO spearheaded that group.
Another group, condemning murderous drug trade laws, proceeded to the office of the U.S. Trade Representative and conducted an old fashioned "die-in" to protest the above mentioned Trans Pacific Free Trade Agreement.
The largest of the five joint marches stopped at the national headquarters of PHARMA (Pharmaceutical Corporation of America) where they too held a massive "die-in."
All five marches united in front of the White House for a boisterous rally at Lafayette Park. There police arrested 15 activists for tying ribbon-wrapped condoms, clean needles, generic pill bottles onto the White House fence: all as symbolic solutions for ending the HIV pandemic. Mounted riot police were used to keep the protesting crowd back.
On the 4th day of AIDS 2012 an international contingent of 75 protesters raised banners and took the main stage demanding that the Global Fund for AIDS - upon which many poor countries depend upon to treat their own people - resume recently canceled funding. Rich donor countries have failed to keep up with their financial commitments to the Global Fund.
That same day activists from the Global Network of Sex Workers protested at a conference panel chaired by former conservative U.S. Senator and Healthcare Corporation of America multimillionaire, Bill Frist. AIDS 2012 organizer, the International AIDS Society, banned attendance by delegates who were sex workers or convicted drug users. Never the less, organized groups representing sex workers and the harm reduction movement were in attendance. At the end of the session, a Gambian HIV activist confronted Frist directly from the conference floor, telling him that "millions of lives would have been saved if you had listened to us before".

Hey everyone, my husband surprised me today by telling me that for my Christmas gift, he is going to send me to the Tuscon Show. What an awesome husband. My question is, does anyone have any reccomendations on where to stay, where to go, how to get around, etc. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Lynn
What a wonderful surprise. I hope you have a great time. If you look for the event online, there's usually a few links of local amenities.
Wow! I am happy for you. I use to live in and RV in St.David,AZ.. Snow's Little Bead Room in Benson, AZ took me to my first "Tucson Bead Feast". I think, my banker is still recuperating.
The prices were higher last year, but maybe this year that will be low again.
Its a great place to have a resale #.so you can buy wholesale at a shocking low price vs. retail.
Good Luck, Have fun!

"Remember that when you leave this earth,you can take nothing you have received...but only what you have given; a full heart enriched by honest service,love,sacrific and courage.Saint Francis of Assisi
I went to Quartzite, AZ last week, my first time, spend half day looking for Cabochon but I found only antiques ....all over the place. I spend 3 hrs walking and look around for beads.
I don't know where to go and by the time I know where they sale beads it's almost too late cause I have only 2 hrs left to shop before the venders call for the day.
The good thing is I didn't spend too much money, the bad is that I don't have enough time to look!!!
I understand Tucson is very big one and hope I can make it!!!!

Directed by DRE Films, Meek Mill brings us another Ciroc advert I mean visual to another track off his highly anticipated (and downloaded) mixtape Dream Chasers 2. The song is called Amen featuring Drake and backing vocals from Jeremih, a song which has seen much publicity and play on the airwaves and in the club scene, that and a boycott from Philadelphian Pastor Jomo K. Johnson (a boycott I don't support at all).
This is actually a nice video, not as boring as the usual MMG fodder and packed with saucy 62 plate video vixens and famous rappers (namely Juelz Santana, Chinx Drugz, French Montana etc). This will also appear on Meek's upcoming album, Dreams and Nightmares which is due for release on August 28th. What you guys think?

We have landed in Mexico and are loving it here! So much sun, so little time. My kids are having lots of fun outside and I am enjoying the relaxed pace.
But I am also working on more patterns (of course!) and have listed a couple today!
The first is one you might be familiar with already. The Elegant Rose is just the flower portion of the Elegance Headband pattern. If you already have "Elegance", this is not for you, but if you're looking for an easy flower appliqué for your next problem – this pattern is quick and easy to work up!
Click the photo below to purchase "The Elegant Rose" pattern directly (instant download after purchase!):
OR click HERE to purchase on Etsy.
And the second pattern is another baby pod photo prop pattern. This is one of my favorites – so soft and snuggly, yet quick and easy to work up! I used Patons Divine for this soft, fuzzy, mohair version, but any of your favorite bulky (#5) yarns may be used. It's another quick pattern to make! If you sell crocheted items, this one is sure to be a hit! If you're a photographer, you can do so much with this one! Babies love how soft it is and photographers love that you can still see all those sweet little fingers and toes!
Click the photo below to purchase the "Cuddly Baby Cozy" pattern directly (instant download after purchase!):
OR click HERE to purchase on Etsy.
I have several more patterns in the works including a couple I haven't mentioned or posted pics of yet! Can't wait to share them with all of you!
Hasta luego!

Gavin Hazel
Gavin is the first research student for the Centre for the Study of Research Training and Impact. Prior to receiving a scholarship to study with the Centre, Gavin was the Research Officer for SORTI.
His current project (his PhD which is in its final stages) is the development of grounded theory of epistemological change in "real world" problems. Focusing on the postgraduate research as his site for analysis, Gavin has been exploring the supervisory and research processes that make up doctoral study in an attempt to explore the ways in changes in "knowledge" contribute to the development of a "research thesis" for examination.
The goal of Gavin's project is to create a rich description of the learning interactions within the doctorate/supervision process specifically, and situated learning more generally. By drawing on existing models in the field of personal epistemology and cognition this approach provides a "general" mechanism for investigating a number of problematic domains involved in our current conceptualisation of how we learn and the role of "knowledge" in this process.
Gavin is a graduate of the University of Newcastle, the current Vice President of Newcastle University Postgraduate Student Association, National Secretary of CAPA, Member of the University Council, postgraduate student (research) representative on the Board of Faculty of Education and Arts.
For the last nine years Gavin has also worked as a lecturer, tutor, supervisor and research assistant at the University of Newcastle (Callaghan and Ourimbah campuses).

According to Christian Bible, God is the "Word". In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word, was God. That is what we call the "Yin", the vibration, the Tao, the Buddha Nature in Buddhist terminology, or Sound Current in the Hindu terminology. Once we get touch with that so-called "Word", we are in touch with God because the Word is God. God is not a figure with a long beard or with a stick, standing there telling you what to do. God is a power, a loving current that we can use to mold our life and to make things come into being by this creative substance.
This Word or divine vibration is mentioned in all religions. We call it Yin, others call it celestial music, Logos, Tao etc. It vibrates within all life and sustains the whole universe. This inner melody can heal all wounds, fulfill all desires and quench all worldly thirst. It is all-powerful and all-love.
The Bible says: Seek you first the Kingdom of God and all other things shall be added unto you. That I have found be the truth. It is the whole truth. And in the Buddhist sutras,for example in the Surangama Sutra, it also says that: Once you get in touch with this inner Buddha Nature through practicing the Quan Yin Method, the worldly things will go on smoothly too. We can also have other things. And this I have also found to be the truth. Therefore, even bible says similar things. You can find many other example in the Indian scriptures, Jewish scriptures and other scriptures. That's why we hear that the rich people are blessed by God. It might be true in some sense, but the richness of this world has not always been the symbol of the blessing of God. It just denotes our virtuous way of life the last period of our existence, before this existence, and that's all. The blessing of God come directly, without virtues even, once we are connected with this God power.

I lost the caps to not one, but two empty spice bottles this week. I was bummed, because Ada loves practicing with screw-on caps, and it keeps her engrossed for half an hour at a time. But then I realized that I also had not one, but two very pretty wine corks that I'd been saving for a purpose somewhat grander than most of the cork projects out there. They just fit in the mouth of the bottles.
They look nice when clustered in groups of different sizes, as well. Dress them up with washi tape or colorful string if you want, but I like to let the corks speak for themselves.

Movie •••• Picture •••• Sound •••• Extras •½ |
Broken Trail may have been dragged down by superficial similarities to the classic Lonesome Dove, but it uses outrageously good performances and a unique story to carve its own spot in the pantheon of great Westerns. And the small screen doesn't stop director Walter Hill (The Warriors, The Long Riders) from delivering the color-drenched, widescreen landscapes that make it all work so well on DVD. Sharpness and detail abound; you can positively feel the power and beauty of the stallions as they make the long drive from Oregon to Wyoming. Sound is equally strong and atmospheric, engulfing you in the natural surroundings of the trail. Sadly, a 23-minute, standard-issue featurette is the only extra in this two-disc set. [NR] English, Dolby Digital 5.1; letterboxed (1.78:1) and anamorphic widescreen; two single-layer discs.

Those suspected to have eaten, stolen public funds are now chopped and will face prosecution. The report says they colluded and enjoyed the eating and pocketing money instead of serving the country. These men and women should not get any mercy if they have really done what they are getting accused of. Punishment must be stiff in order to send signal to other eaters or would be eaters (money thieves) so that they may stop before they are chopped and imprisoned. (API)Local Government permanent secretary Sammy Kirui (above) and 12 other government officials were on Monday suspended over fraudulent purchase of cemetery land. Photo/FILE
Thirteen top officials in the ministries of Local Government and Finance have been suspended over corruption allegations
Those interdicted include Local Government permanent secretary Sammy Kirui, Mr Reuben K. Rotich (senior deputy secretary), Mr Boniface Misero (director of procurement) and Mr Herman Chevera (chief financial officer).
Firing line
Others are Mr Paul Ngugi, director of budget in the Ministry of Finance, Mr John Gakuo, the Nairobi River Project coordinator and former Nairobi town clerk, Mr Geoffrey Katsolleh, deputy town clerk and Mr Kanyi Njambura, director of procurement.
Also in the firing line are Ms Mary Ng�ethe, director of legal affairs, Mr Karisa Iha, deputy director of legal affairs, Mr Alexander Musee, deputy director procurement, Dr Daniel Nguku, medical officer of health and Mr I.N. Ngacha, chief internal auditor.
The officials have been interdicted in connection with the fraudulent purchase of 120 acres for a cemetery in Mavoko Township at a cost of Sh283 million when the true value of the plot was Sh30 million. The 13 have not been found guilty of corruption but they are required to step aside until investigations are complete.
In a statement released from State House, Nairobi, on Monday evening, President Kibaki directed that Sh259 million fraudulently paid out for the plot be recovered from the beneficiaries. �The interdicted officers and other collaborators, including lawyers and agents, should be prosecuted for the serious fraud which they have committed against the Kenyan public,� said the President.
Call for action
The Kenya Alliance of Resident Associations (Kara) which has been calling for action on the scandal welcomed the interdiction and demanded that the suspects be prosecuted. ��More importantly the cash stolen must be recovered,�� Kara chief executive Stephen Mutoro said in a statement on Monday.
The President should also ask for a thorough review of all major procurements at all local authorities between 2008 to date, he said. The President directed relevant government agencies to take immediate action against those implicated in the scandal.
The Parliamentary Select Committee on Local Authorities sparked outrage last week when it released a report on the purchase of the land. The report showed that City Hall disregarded the advice of the director of city planning on tender documents during the search for the cemetery land.
It said the City Council�s procurement team played a key role in the fraud. The team is said to have ignored regulations in the Procurement Act. The council�s technical evaluation committee also ignored the criteria set for cemetery land. It went further to clear the land as suitable when it knew it was not.
The report, now awaiting debate in Parliament, reveals the magnitude of corruption and fraud surrounding the purchase of the land. It recommends that all officers involved be relieved of their duties and arraigned in a court.
Local Government minister Musalia Mudavadi is also harshly mentioned in the report, which points out that he has not even gone to see the land. The committee notes that in spite of knowledge of the fraud and public outcry on the misuse of funds, the ministry had not taken meaningful steps to avoid a repeat.
It notes that all those mentioned in relation to the fraud were still in office. The team says most of the ministry officials who appeared before it withheld vital evidence. Mr Mudavadi is accused of giving a statement in Parliament aimed at exonerating his officers.
The team says the National Environmental Management Authority did not conduct any assessment of impact as required by law. In addition, the soil is shallow, with a rocky base, and cannot even sustain a depth of six feet, necessary for burying the dead. The committee established that the road leading to the land was impassable during the wet seasons.
Mr Mudavadi, however, said he had written to Civil Service Head Francis Muthaura after he ignored his recommendation to suspend Mr Kirui over his alleged role in the scandal. The parliamentary report says Mr Kirui and former Nairobi Town Clerk John Gakuo should not be allowed to hold any public office.
An Auditor General�s report had also named Mr Kirui, Mr Gakuo and former deputy town clerk Nelson Otido as the most culpable. City Hall lost Sh259 million after the price of a 120-acre property in Mavoko was inflated to Sh283 million, 10 times more than a government valuation of Sh24 million.
Mr Henry Musyoki Kilonzi, the registered land owner, who signed the sale agreement, is said to have received Sh107.5 million while the rest of the money was �disbursed to other parties�.

Basel says list of "too-big-to-fail" banks to be set after G20
SEOUL Oct 19 (Reuters) - Global banking regulators will not agree on a list of "too-big-to-fail" banks until after next month's G20 summit, the head of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision said on Tuesday.
"We will discuss the methodology more in detail in our November-December meeting (of the committee)," Nout Wellink told reporters in Seoul.
The Basel Committee has drawn up tough new rules on banks' capital, known as Basel III, which are expected to be endorsed by leaders of the world's 20 biggest economies (G20) at a summit in Seoul next month.
Wellink said the committee would then agree on additional measures to make very big banks less risky by boosting the loss-absorbing capacity of these institutions by March 2011 before setting out "concrete" measures in the middle of next year.
Those measures are expected to include forcing large banks to hold additional capital, along with a role for bail-in-debt and contingent capital -- bonds which convert to equity at an agreed point when a bank gets into trouble. [ID: nLDE69D25F]
"These measures will be part of the whole package that feeds into the Financial Stability Board," said Wellink, who is also a member of the European Central Bank's Governing Council.
He added that the banks on the list would be ones judged to be "global systemically important financial institutions" -- whose reach goes far beyond their national regulator's borders.
However, it remains unclear whether the list will actually be published with some governments understood to be concerned that just the names of the affected institutions would add to the problem of moral hazard.
The Financial Stability Board (FSB) has been tasked by G20 with finding a solution to the moral hazard problem caused by big globally interconnected banks. It is expected to present a broad list of recommendations at the Nov. 11-12 summit but no specific rules.
Recommendations are expected on how to deal with the failure of a large bank; improving cross-border supervision; and boosting the overall infrastructure of the financial system; as well as raising banks' loss-absorbing capacity.
It is expected that once the measures are eventually agreed on, national regulators would then be subject to a "peer-review" process to ensure the designated systemically important banks on their turf were subject to stringent requirements drawn from the FSB list of recommendations.

Spa Events in the News Review of The Canadian Spa Industry Conference
and Trade Show presented by Leading Spas of Canada in Vancouver, British
Columbia, Canada on April 9-11, 2006 I was one of over 300 attendees at The Canadian Spa Industry Conference and Trade Show presented by Leading Spas of Canada on April 9-11, 2006 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Vancouver, British Columbia. There were a lot of activities to choose from at any given time - speakers, demonstrations, entertainment, wellness treatments, silent auction, raffles, live auction, networking opportunities and more. While there was a lot going on, the size was intimate and allowed for a lot of opportunities to renew and make new contacts. Community Welcome Reception Jack Morrison, President for the Conference Board Committee of the Leading Spas of Canada and Pat Corbit, past president kicked off the Community Welcome Reception on Sunday night in the Exhibit Hall. We were blessed and entertained by traditional songs and dances of the Gitksan Dance Collective who performed ancient First Nation masked dances that told the stories of the house of Hagbegwatku, originally from the Skeena river area in NW BC. At the same time, food and drink were served and the exhibitions were opened. Keynote Presentations Dr. Meg Jordan, a medical anthropologist, presented the first keynote presentation on Monday - How Spas are Evolving the Worldview on Wellness. Described as a blend of Indiana Jones and Crocodile Dundee with an air of mysticism, Dr. Jordan provided a fascinating view into some healing (an some not so healing) practices of a variety of cultures and pointed out not all indigenous medical traditions need to be saved. She noted definitions of wellness, dimensions of wellness, the health and wellness paradox, globesity and the worldwide spread of type 2 Diabetes, the WHO's statement that socio-economics is the primary determining factor for overall health and longevity, and that health marketing was a runaway train. She said wellness is achieved by personal responsibility within a culture of support and we were in toxic overload - tobacco use, poor diet and environment (7,000 chemicals have been released in the last three years without any proof of safety). She stated that detoxification will become a pillar of healthy living. Botanicals can attract and escort toxins from the body. She noted that spas are health centers that attract people in need of healing (including staff) and that "medicine is part of your place." She suggested that spas hold weekly cleansing meetings for staff in a safe environment with an atmosphere of openness and inclusion. She recommended spas offer individually tailored services and programs based on client's Myers-Briggs and Enneagram profiles. For examplbe, personality-driven fitness programs can be created for racers, dancers, trekkers and strollers. She believes future healing tools will be light, color, sound and imagery - non-toxic and work by stealth entry (similar to homeopathy). New Spa Research Results were presented at Monday afternoon's keynote presentation. A joint venture of the Canadian tourism commission, ISPA and Provincial/Regional tourism agencies has produced an 84-page study that explores the unique characteristics of the US and Canadian spa-traveller (as opposed to the spa-goer). The research reveals the spa-traveller behaves quite differently than the spa-goer. While the spa-goer generally approaches his or her dates at the spa as a key part of a long-term health and wellness strategy, the spa-traveller is looking to splurge and indulge. In vacation mode, the spa-traveller is motivated by various factors including culture, history, cuisine, sightseeing and education. The full study, Identifying the Spa Traveler: A Look at US and Canadian Consumer Attitudes and Motivators for Spa Vacations (2006) can be found at CanadaTourism.com. For this study, a "spa" was defined as an establishment that offers at least two of the following three kinds of services: full body massage, skincare treatments (such as facials), and body treatments (such as hydrotherapy or body wraps and scrubs). We were also given a sneak prevue of research profiling the Canadian spa sector - the state of the spa industry. Final approval of the report was not yet given at the time of this report, so no details can be shared. Master Business
Sessions Andrew
Finkelstein During this three-hour presentation, Andrew discussed in detail eight key business strategies - 1) create a powerful three-year vision, 2) plan time to plan, 3) control finances, 4) lead a championship support team, 5) the perfect client journey, 6) develop and refine ethical selling skills, 7) create a low cost marketing engine, and 8) maintain balance between work, rest and play. He identified the five building blocks to a visionary business plan - 1) Vision Statement, 2) Mission, 3) Objectives/Goals, 4) Strategies and 5) Plans. He recommended this be done at the business level as well as the department level. He referred to James Horan's The One Page Business Plan and provided tools for creating a one-page Vision Statement. As an exercise, the attendees created their own. Personally, I found this quite worthwhile. He also provided a few other tools: a one-page Quickstart Ideas for Strategies - a fill-in-the-blank tool for building the business and making it successful over time; a One Page Planning Wheel® and Personal Evolution Circles. Concurrent Sessions There were 13 concurrent sessions to choose from across six time slots. Here are the sessions I sat in on. They were all very informative...
Linda Bankoski On Monday, Linda discussed definitions of quality and excellence, the importance of integrity of a spa's management system, the importance of feedback and of effective self assessments for spas. She had the audience go through an exercise to discover their "new eyes," and rewarded audience members who asked questions and participated in discussions. She provided tools for spas to use, such as the Spa System Matrix, to identify performance, process and place self assessments that a spa could perform. She discussed what was necessary to plan and perform effective self assessments as well as to identify actions that need to be taken as a result of self assessments - an important step to spa improvement. Finally, she talked about measurement and data. Slides of this presentation can be found HERE. There was a lot of positive feedback:
Linda Bankoski On Tuesday, Linda discussed the critical differences between spas at risk and healthy spas. She defined the resources that every spa has - people, money, time, stuff and uniqueness - and had the attendees take an inventory of the resources they have today. She talked about the choices and actions we take and how they consume resources. The bottom line is that it is ultimately better to spend resources in learning and asking (like self assessments) than to wait until things get out of hand and in crisis mode. The emphasis is on planning, assessment, prevention and discipline and shifting from resource based decisions to action based decisions. Linda had the attendees take their inventory and mark what they would like their's to be and discussed planning for this future. She discussed the management of change and the essentials of successful spa improvement. Slides of her talk can be found HERE. There was more positive feedback:
O'Keeffe Vivienne and Andrew presented a number of different compensation models for spas and provided the pros and cons of each:
In additional to these basic models, benefiets can be offered to attract good employees such as paid time off, sick pay, health care plan, retirement benefits and training and development. Non-cash benefits can be considered as well such as the work environment and appreciation and respect. The goal is to create the optimum model for an individual spa that supports team loyalty, collaboration, effectiveness, excellent customer service and profitability. There were a lot of questions from the audience in this lively interactive discussion. Anne
McCall Wilson Anne shared the Fairmont Spas success story and discussed branding. First, she explained what a brand is and its purpose. A brand is your story, a promise, an experience, a connection to the customer, a competitive edge, a focus, and a continuing source of inspiration and guidance. It incorporates the mission and vision of the company, its belief system and how the company does business. It is more than recognition, it is differentiation. The better you brand, the more you differentiate and the more ends up on your bottom line. A brand creates added value for your company. Anne provided 10 ways spa branding can place your spa ahead of the competition: 1. Focus - Choose a focus for your brand. Here she discussed the types and purposes of spas:
and the Day Spa continuum:
The closer the focus, the higher the perceived quality, exclusivity and speciality of the spa. 2. Connect with your Customer - Know them inside and out - their habits, desites and patterns. Anticipate what they may want. Do research. Provide a communication platform, focus group, rant room, newsletter, etc. Build an ongoing conversation. "I just need to get my old energy back." 3. Create a Positioning Statement - Determine your story. What is your inspiration and your widely held beliefs? They should be simple and memorable. Anne shared Willow Stream's journey from "Willow Stream is a continuing source of inspiration to living life with abundant energy" to "Our energy makes you feel fantastic." 4. Create a Rallying Call - i.e. "Find your energy." Let this guide you in your selection of staff and products. 5. Tell a Good Story - Guests and staff will remember. Teach storytelling in orientation (not scripted). 6. Cause a Buzz! - Move boldly and be memorable. 7. Choose PR over Marketing to Build Your Brand - It creates credibility. 8. Go Deep - Make your brand seen in brochures, shopping bags, web site, etc. 9. Choose Your Partners Carefully - Partners reflect the mission and authenticity and are an extension of your message. 10. Build an Aligned Team of Professionals - Brand is internal and external. Select employees that are believers in YOUR vision. The Brand Finale

Thousands Gather To Fight Crime
National Night Out Block Parties Held All Over The Ark-La-Tex
Tuesday's National Night Out block parties were more than just good food, fellowship and fun. They were a chance for residents to get to know each other and help fight crime in their neighborhoods.
Thousands of people attended more than a hundred block parties in Shreveport and Bossier City residents held more than a dozen parties.
The goal of National Night Out is for neighbors to get to know one another as well as the police officers who patrol their streets.
"If you know your neighbors, you're more likely to keep an eye on their houses and report suspicious activity," said Shreveport Police Chief Willie Shaw.
National Night Out is normally held in August, but local authorities pushed it back to the first Tuesday in October to avoid the extreme heat.

Remember Me
The Bombay Tandoor Grill,reasonably priced and exotically spiced Indian cuisine.Heidi Couture, The Restaurant Roverhautecuisinecouture.comLocated at 200 Lunenburg Street in Fitchburg, this local gem and family-run restaurant has been serving aromatic Indian food for the last 15 years. A common misconception is that Indian food is always very spicy, and that is not the case at all. At Bombay, you can order your food from mild to very spicy and everything in between. The Cheema family who will most likely be taking your order is very happy to answer any questions about the extensive, varied menu. They can advise you which dishes are mild, spicy to very hot.I always start my Bombay experience with a cup of their delicious Chai Tea. The Bombay has been serving this authentic Indian concoction well before Starbuck's attempted it. I was so obsessed with the Bombay's Chai that Mr. Chemma once gave me the spice blend they use to take home and make my own Chai! Next I always order papadum, which is a thin, crisp cracker-like appetizer made from lentils. It is a great way to get the palate in gear for the rest of the meal. At Bombay, they always bring over 3 Indian condiments to accompany the papadum.Bombay offers a variety of traditional Indian appetizers, including many vegetarian options. Actually, they have several vegetarian dishes on the entire menu, so it is the perfect place to bring your vegetarian daughter, sibling or friend. I recommend ordering the mixed appetizer platter, as you get a little of everything to try, this also comes in a vegetarian platter as well. For a soup course, you won't find a better big bowl of soup priced at just $2.95 anywhere else. I love the Coconut soup, which is creamy and mild with some gentle heat. The Mulligatawny, which literally means 'pepper water', is yummy and is served with a lemon wedge and the acid that it provides the dish with is just right.Another traditional thing to order is Nan, which is unleavened, handmade bread, baked in the Bombay's Tandoori oven. Speaking of the Tandoor, you should know that it is a traditional charcoal forged clay oven, shaped like a pitcher, which retains the juices and flavors of meats, giving them a distinct taste and flavor. A must try is the classic Chicken Tandoori, spring chicken marinated in Tandoori Masala and yogurt for over 24 hours and then baked on skewers in the Tandoori oven, producing the juiciest, most tender chicken you will ever have!Another great thing the Bombay offers are the Chef's Recommendations, where you get several courses of delicious food for just $19.95! The Bombay Tandoor Grill Restaurant is tucked into a little strip mall, but it is spacious and clean inside. You never feel rushed; you can bring your own bottle of wine, relax with a friend and enjoy exotic, flavorful Indian cuisine for a bargain price! They also serve an all you can eat lunch buffet for just $8.95. In a time when non-chain locally owned restaurants are struggling, The Bombay has managed to continue serving their consistently good Indian food for fifteen years, without advertising, a website or a Facebook page, clearly they are doing something right.A Rover Recommend!

Arlene Blum's Feb. 21 lecture at Hamilton on "mountains and molecules" began with an autobiographical account of how she has built a remarkable career in otherwise unlikely circumstances. Blum is founder and executive director of the Green Science Policy Institute (GSPI), an organization that serves as a watchdog group for regulations that may have adverse health effects.
More ..."MAD, ILL-EQUIPPED AND ADMIRABLE: EVEREST 1962," an article written by Publius Virgilius Rogers Professor of American History Maurice Isserman appearing in Alpinist magazine, tells the story of an American-Swiss team of four climbers who attempted to climb Mt. Everest from the north side. Isserman wrote about the climbers' adventures, from their initial planning to their illegal entry into Tibet and their near-fatal accidents which ultimately caused them to turn back.
More ...As final exams approach, many Hamilton students are facing one last mountain of work before they can head home for the holidays. Perhaps appropriate for this season and providing a welcome break from all the studying, Hamilton welcomed prize-winning author Wade Davis on Dec. 12 to discuss his award-winning work, Into the Silence: The Great War, Mallory, and the Conquest of Everest.
More ...Publius Virgilius Rogers Professor of American History Maurice Isserman discussed mountaineering on March 8 at the University of Michigan's Mountaineering Culture Studies Group meeting. He was joined by Stewart Weaver of the University of Rochester with whom he co-authored the award-winning book Fallen Giants: A History of Himalayan Mountaineering from the Age of Empire to the Age of Extreme (2008). Isserman and Weaver talked about the origin and evolution of their own work, as well as the future of mountaineering.
More ...The Colorado River is one of the United States' most impressive rivers. At 1,450 miles long, the river drains almost 250,000 square miles—10 percent of the United States—down the spine of the Continental Divide. The Colorado, though, is not as mighty as it once was. Because of population growth in the Southwest the Colorado no longer reaches the Pacific Ocean, but trickles dry in the deserts of northern Mexico. In his Nov. 1 talk in the Taylor Science Center, adventurer Jonathan Waterman detailed his journey down the Colorado and discussed the implications of the overuse of the river as a water resource.
More ...James L. Ferguson Professor of History Maurice Isserman was presented with the University of Rochester's Andrew Eiseman Writer's Award for Fallen Giants: A History of Himalayan Mountaineering from the Age of Empire to the Age of Extremes on Dec. 10, in Rochester.

More ...An interview with James L. Ferguson Professor of History Maurice Isserman has been published in Grasping for Heaven: Interviews with North American Mountaineers by Frederic Hartemann and Robert Hauptman.
More ...Bernadette McDonald visited Hamilton on Nov. 9 to discuss her experiences with some of the most outstanding Himalayan mountain climbers of the 20th century as she chronicled their lives in biographies. Her writing has taken her all over the world, driving her to ask personal questions, delve into complex characters, and develop countless friendships. Along the way, she dealt with difficult, "grumpy" personalities, faced exhausting climbs, read hundreds of letters and diary entries, and even learned to overcome personal fears.
Mountaineering writer Bernadette McDonald will speak on the topic "Writing a Life: Himalayan Heroes," on Tuesday, Nov. 9, at 7:30 p.m. in the Red Pit, Kirner-Johnson Building. The event is free and open to the public. A book sale and signing will follow McDonald's presentation.

Sail-World.com : Scientist optimistic that reefs can still be saved
Scientist optimistic that reefs can still be saved
'Image: George Roff - Caribbean coral'
ARC Centre of Excellence Coral Reef Studies ©
John Pandolfi maintains his optimism despite the grim scientific proof that he confronts daily that the world's coral reefs are in a significant amount trouble – along with 81 nations and 500 million people who depend on them.
The world-renowned coral scientist from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies and University of Queensland has traced the story of the world's reefs over more than 50 million years and is deciphering delicate signals from the past to reveal what doomed them in previous extinctions – and how this compares with today.
This knowledge is priceless in understanding what we humans have to do to prevent such a tragedy recurring, he says.
'I'm an optimist – you have to be, to devote your life to this field,' he explains. Despite scientific predictions that the current trajectory of human development will eliminate 90 per cent of the world's coral reefs by the end of the century, Pandolfi considers it is still within our power to save 60 or70 per cent, provided we act quickly to limit the things that drive corals to ruin.
'Corals themselves are remarkably resilient. They have stood up to several episodes of global warming and high CO2 in the past – and bounced back, even from mass extinction events.
But the sobering fact is that it can take coral reefs up to ten million years to re-establish after a major extinction event, he says. 'That's a long time to wait if your industries, communities and food supplies are dependent on reefs.'
The big issue today is that most of the world's coral reefs face a 'double whammy' of accelerated global change combined with local stresses from pollution, runoff and overfishing. These local, man-made, factors were absent during previous world coral crises, he points out.
'Also, while corals have withstood hot climates and high CO2 in the past, we have so far been unable to identify any period in Earth's history when CO2 levels rose as rapidly as today.'
The good news, he says, is that experiments in Australia and round the world have shown it is possible to curb overfishing, runoff and pollution, to limit their local impact on corals. 'Our latest studies have shown corals have a great capacity to bounce back if you take these pressures off them – and this means we still have a window of opportunity to act.
'But we need to act immediately.'
Prof. Pandolfi says the action required is threefold – (i) aggressively reduce CO2 emissions (ii) reduce overfishing, pollution and coral habitat destruction and (iii) implement sound management to improve overall reef health.
On Thursday, July 12, Prof Pandolfi will present his team's latest research to the International Coral Reef Symposium. This work aims to disentangle the impact of local effects (like runoff and rainfall) from global effects (like warming and ocean acidification) on the coral's ability to calcify (or grow) by studying rates of calcification in the columnar coral Goniopora over the past 1000 years.
'We've observed widely different effects in some corals – for example when calcification of Porites corals declined by 14 per cent on Australia's Great Barrier Reef, it increased by 24 per cent on Western Australian reefs. This has got to be down to local effects, as both corals are experiencing some of the same global impacts.'
Managing corals so they thrive, as in the case of WA, may hold the secret of saving the world's coral reefs in a time that might otherwise bring near-extinction.
Professor Pandolfi will be available to media at a press conference today at the International Coral Reef Symposium in Cairns, Australia, at 9.30 AM AEST, along with other leading researchers to comment on the impact of climate change and other stressors on the world's reefs.

fibromyalgia pain, Fibromyalgia Syndrome, Fibromyalgia., Forget The Pain and South Bend Pain Management, Nerve pain, Substance P, What Is Fibromyalgia
It is estimated upwards of six million people suffer with Fibromyalgia in the United State. Worldwide the numbers clam 4% of any countries population.
At this time Health Care Providers have difficulty diagnosing this condition. Currently there is no specific testing available to identify this disorder. (MRI, X-rays, or Blood Test) There is also the possibility other conditions maybe involved and causing systems.
Common complaints associated with Fibromyalgia are pain and tenderness throughout the body.
Researchers are continuing to examine and determine the cause of this condition. Increased levels of Substance P. Stress or Trauma. Lowered pain thresholds due to a lack of Serotonin.
Important Factors to consider.
Sleep: Proper sleeping habits. A good night sleep always has a positive effect on health.
Exercise: Keeping our muscles in action and increasing blood flow has a positive effect. Pain can hinder our desire to move. Lack of motion can have a negative effect our muscles and joints. Remember your heart is a muscle too.
Nutrition: Inflammation is one of the leading causes of pain. So many foods have an anti-inflammatory factor. Incorporating these types of foods into you diet can only help. Food is fun and enjoyable.
Oral Pain Medications: Classified as NSAIDs (Non Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs). These drugs are used by million of people. Because they cause a further build up of Substance P, which may already be a part of the problem, I always question their use when dealing any type of pain. There are so many negative side effects associated with these drugs. Liver damage. Stroke. Heart Attack. Addiction.
As Health Care Providers and people dealing with this condition become increasingly educated and researchers discover more about the cause, treatment will improve. Trust in yourself to share your successes with your Doctor. Surly he or she will be interested in what you have to say.
Besides Pain Medications Antidepressants and Anti-seizure drugs maybe prescribed by a physician.
Lyrica has been the first pharmaceutical to be approved by the FDA for treatment of Fibromyalgia. Found to relieve nerve pain it is also used for treatment of pain for shingles and herpes.
Neurontin is also used. Helpful in epilepsy and some types of seizures besides nerve pain.

Last week, the Congress took an important action to protect seniors from increases in their 2010 Medicare Part B premiums. I joined with a bipartisan majority in the House to vote in favor of H.R. 3631, the Medicare Premium Fairness Act. With Social Security benefits expected to remain at the same level next year, an increase in Medicare premiums would cut into seniors' Social Security.

* no longer in the club
In 2009 an idea of foundation of a KHL club in Hradec Králové, Czech republic came into the world. The club was preparing for the entertaining of KHL for the season 2010/11, but the club didn't recieve an approval of Czech Ice Hockey Federation.
From this reason the club was moved to Poprad, Slovakia and the second round of approval prcedure started again, but Slovak Ice Hockey Federation didn't agree with HC Lev start in KHL either and the project was postponed.
During 2010/11 was a negotiating with Slovak Ice Hockey Federation on the program of the club's managers and they were succesfful. Now, it looks that there will be no balks on the HC Lev's road into KHL. "It's certain for 99% that HC Lev will join KHL from 2011/12," Alexander Medvedev told in March 2011.
In the start of May 2011 during WC in Slovakia it was officialy confirmed that HC LEV will play KHL from the start of 2011/12
Historicaly the first head-coach of the team is Radim Rulík.
After the 2011-12 season team moved from Poprad to Praha, Czech Republic

"Sports Holding Prague is going to change the control system, making it more centralized. This decision caused the abolition of the position of General Manager of the club
The holding was satisfied with the results shown by LEV during the season, praising the work done by Normunds Sejejs. Largely due to his efforts, LEV was able to achieve its goals in the first season in the League. So we wanted to Normunds Sejejs remained in our organization and offered him the post of consultant management. Unfortunately, Mr. Sejejs rejected our proposal because he wants to continue to act as General Manager, but in our organization is now impossible."
KHL pays LEV Poprad debts
The Kontinental Hockey League and the KHL Players' Union have ensured that the players, coaches and staff of HC Lev Poprad have received the money owed to them for their work during the 2011/2012 season, when the now-extinct club had a team competing in the KHL Championship.
"The financial difficulties at Lev Poprad have been under the closest possible scrutiny by the League," - said KHL President Alexander Medvedev. "When it became clear that the club's owners were unable to meet their financial obligations to their players and staff, the League got together with the Players' Union to tackle the problems. After the formalities had been attended to, all outstanding payments owed to the players, coaches and staff of the club were paid in full. Despite the fact that the responsibility for making these payments rests with Lev Poprad's owners, we felt that we could not just stand aside, and we were guided by our concern that justice should prevail and these people must receive their hard-earned wages."
Slovan earns derby win against Lev
In Saturday's only KHL game, hosts Slovan Bratislava have defeated Czech rivals Lev Prague 2-1 (1-0, 1-1, 0-0). Now the Slovakians (50 pts) are three points ahead of Lev Prague. In their first ever meeting in November Slovan had won the derby with the same result in Prague.

If she's happy and enjoys what you do together then you're an awesome dad Don't stress about it so much, if she's happy then you're doing something right
....as a dad.
God, I hope this doesn't come back and bite me in the ass.
Anyway, I've had some semi-serious concerns about my parenting skills lately, mostly stemming from the fact that even I'm getting frightened at how terribly fast my daughter is turning into a miniature version of me. That being said, she seems perfectly happy, so what the hell. But then again, most seven-year-olds are happy, anyway, so that leaves me more than just an inch in terms of room for doubt.
For those of you who know who I am and what I do, please do try to give some kind of honest answer before turning this into flamebait.
For those of you who don't, the basic facts are that I'm 21, a big anime fan, spend long periods of time away from home due to work [during which I usually leave her with my parents], and the two of us bond over anime, martial arts, online games, and whatever small amount of literary fiction she is interested in that I have read [fairy tales, Harry Potter, etc.].
Fucking shit, this is going to be terrible.
If we succeed, it is at the point of the sword.
If there is a long dispute, then both parties are wrong.
- quotes by Voltaire

By the ever talented Lillian Thorne!
So you decide to ask strangers on the Internet for an opinion? Nah, it's not that bad. There are worse places you could've gone with the question.
She's happy and you guys have a strong relationship formed over cool hobbies. You have nothing to worry about.
Amazing set courtesy of Lillian Thorne!
Worst/Best dad ever you should kill self/be proud brohan/stupid shit
God Aza, stop changing your sig every fucking minute.
BUT BUT I have to warn people about Squee in broken English D:
Darthwarman Rage Quit 1
Darthwarman Rage Quit 2: Electric Boogaloo
Knowing you, and the fact(I hope) she hasn't killed anyone... yet.
Doing pretty good, Nyancat.
The Finely Endowed Lord Rilla Pythonicus, Archduke of the Black Coast and Lord of the Serpent Port."Your arms are too short to box with God"
Mostly because it's interesting. There are all sorts of people here, ranging from complete dicks [such as myself, or even better, Aza] to the painfully nice [like Vena over there]. The range of opinions flares things up.
As well, being complete strangers is actually a bonus - you guys have no real preconceptions about me other than how I've been acting in the forum, and are therefore less likely to have any sorts of bias in an area of my life you have basically no knowledge of. =P

Fuck you too bro <3
If we succeed, it is at the point of the sword.
If there is a long dispute, then both parties are wrong.
- quotes by Voltaire
Way I see it, being raised by you there is two ways she could turn out. She'll either be Australia's most wanted serial killer or the greatest catch a weeaboo could have. Just gotta make sure to teach her how to properly vent her anger out of walls/mailboxes/small animals and she'll be fine.
OK, considering the ages of most of us on here, none of us have a right to say anything.
What I do know is that you care enough about how you're doing as a dad to worry about how well you're doing. You already listed the things that you are proud of doing as well. The thing that you are concerned about, being away for so long, shouldn't worry you so much. My father was gone for a lot of my childhood due to his being in the military. It wasn't necessarily through deployment, either. He would simply be gone to work before I woke up, and get home after I was sent to bed. Unless your long periods of time exceed six months, I say it's not "that long" in comparison.
You make serious efforts toward bonding with her, and make sure she is always being cared for under very watchful eyes. You make sure she's reading, which is good for a child at any age, and you keep her physically active through martial arts. Considering that a lot of kids don't do anything remotely physical in an organized sense, I'd say you're doing a fantastic job so far. My dad also bonded with me over video games whenever he was home, and I hold those memories very dear to me. When his work finally settled down, he coached my youth soccer team for two seasons. He also tried to get to every game he could when he wasn't coaching me.
Worrying about your parenting skills is a healthy thing to do. You keep thinking about how you can make your kid have a better childhood, which is a good thing. You want what's best for her, and it's clear that you love her. That is probably the most important basis for being a good father.
As long as she doesn't turn out to be a complete piece of shit, you win at parenting. Odds are damned good that, come puberty and teenage years, she'll abandon your shared interests in that natural phase of rebellion most kids go through. Even if that doesn't happen, big fucking deal, it's not like loving anime and such are bad things. You shouldn't be worried about what hobbies you're getting your daughter interested in, it should be the morals and values you're instilling in her that matter to you. Having to be away for long periods of time is unfortunate, but life sucks sometimes, just do your best not to be one of those distant parents who doesn't really give a damn about their kid.
So long as you teach her the basics of being a good person, congrats, you're at least a decent parent. I'd suggest also pushing intellectual pursuits and critical thinking once she's old enough to get any benefit from those, because raising a decent person with a functioning brain is the best you can hope for as a parent. Hobbies and interests are all secondary or tertiary concerns, just focus on the shit that really matters and it'll all turn out fine in the end.
As for a rating currently, I dunno. The fact that you actually care about bonding with your daughter is a good indication that you're not a shitty parent, so kudos for that. I'll give you a generic positive rating I guess, because fuck specific numbers and the like.

Gotta love Spring!
Posing for a Portrait
I love this shot I took this past summer working with AAP! I can't wait for wedding season! There is so much to look forward to.
I had a great time hiking in Berea today. It's nice to spend my time off doing what I love, and being with people who have similar interests. There's a lot to be excited about, and so much to be thankful for. Scroll down and view some other shots from the day!
Good Morning KENTUCKY!!!
