PSV Eindhoven boss Dick Advocaat believes Manchester United, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur target Kevin Strootman needs to leave Holland this summer in order to progress his career.
Sky Sports reports how the 23-year-old midfielder has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League, after a series of impressive performances in the Eredivisie over the past few seasons.
Red Devils boss Sir Alex Ferguson is a long-term admirer of Strootman's, with the Holland international rumoured to be on his way to Old Trafford last summer.
However, with the 71-year-old Scot set to retire at the end of the season it's unclear whether Manchester United will still be interested by the time the transfer window reopens on July 1.
Spurs boss Andre Villas-Boas is also understood to be monitoring the player's situation at PSV, as he weighs up a rival bid in an attempt to lure him to White Hart Lane ahead of the 2013/14 campaign.
Liverpool complete the trio of interested Premier League parties, with Brendan Rodgers also credited with an interest in Strootman's services, as he too looks to strengthen his Anfield ranks this summer.
"For PSV it would be good if he stays, but for Strootman himself it's better to leave," Advocaat told De Telegraaf. "He's the reserve captain of the Dutch national squad and PSV will make another step next season.
"This guy fits everywhere. He's a fantastic player because he knows exactly what his qualities are."
Advocaat talked up Strootman's ability, ahead of a wave of enquiries he is expecting for one of his star players at the end of the season, and said that he would be a huge success in the Premier League.
"[He would be good for] Liverpool and Tottenham, but I think he's also good enough for Manchester City and Manchester United," added the PSV manager.
"Strootman is as good as Gareth Barry. He's a very useful player for every team. Especially when he's surrounded by better players."

A: I don't know if it's lack of depth, or lack of confidence in that depth, with Spoelstra no longer playing Michael Beasley, no longer utilizing Udonis Haslem and often having James Jones and Roger Mason Jr. inactive. It was, to a degree, even a surprise that Rashard Lewis got minutes Tuesday in Phoenix, considering the way he hardly has been utilized. It would seem that the Heat have to make a decision of whether too much of their depth currently is doing nothing more than taking up space. But Norris Cole was solid off the bench against the Suns, as was Chris Andersen. As for Greg Oden, he's looking more and more like a specialist, rather than necessarily a rotation presence.
February 11, 2014
Q: I would love to see Greg Oden get an opportunity to get the ball more and try post plays. He seems to be showing fast improvement and he has a great inherent talent. -- Francisco, Royal Palm Beach.
A: Actually, what I would like to see is Greg get the opportunity to defend more post plays. The Heat likely will never go to a post-centric offense with Oden, not with all their other scorers. But what the Heat have to find out is whether Oden can defend the post without foul trouble. Spotting Greg against Roy Hibbert won't make a lot of sense if it only leads to quick fouls that put the Heat in the penalty. Spotting Oden against post centers, whenever possible, possibly later this week against Andrew Bogut, makes sense at this stage of the season.
Q: As a Heat fan since day one and a native Miamian, I have a special affinity for Udonis Haslem. Why is Erik Spoelstra refusing to play him? -- D.B.
A: Because this is about more than nostalgia or sentimentality. No matter the role, Haslem will remain a revered presence in the franchise's history, his number almost assuredly to be retired one day and hang above AmericanAirlines Arena. But with the Heat's move to an offensive game where everyone has to be live, Haslem's erratic jumper simply did not make the cut. Plus, with last season's acquisition of Chris Andersen and this season's addition of Oden, the squeeze has become severe at power forward. Unless Spoelstra moves away from Shane Battier in the power rotation, the minutes simply aren't there.

ANAHEIM, Calif. – Freshman Michael Bryson 29 points, a school record for a freshman, and UC Santa Barbara used a barrage of three-point baskets to forge a stirring comeback, turning a 38-19 first half deficit into a second half lead, but the Gauchos ultimately fell short in a 71-68 loss to the University of the Pacific in the first round of the 2013 Big West Tournament at Honda Center.
Bryson scored 22 of his 29 points in the second half, making six of his seven three-point baskets. As a team, UCSB was 10-for-20 from three-point range in the final 20 minutes.
The No. 2 seeded Tigers (20-12 overall) had a sizzling start, jumping out to a 38-19 lead with 3:27 to play in the first half. The Gauchos (11-20 overall) began their rally with a 6-2 run to close the half, cutting the lead to 40-25 at the break.
Colin Beatty was a perfect 5-for-5 from three-point range in the first 20 minutes, scoring 15 of his team-high 26 points. As a team, Pacific made 8-of-11 three-point attempts in the first half, 72.7%. UCSB meanwhile, struggled by making just 36.0% of its shots in the half, including just 2-for-10 from outside the three-point arc.
In the second half, things turned around in a hurry.
Sophomore T.J. Taylor made a pair of three-point baskets in the opening minutes of the second half to get the Gauchos off to a 6-2 start, cutting the Tigers' lead to 42-31. After Beatty made a free throw line jumper to extend the score to 44-31, UCSB went on an 8-0 run, the final six coming on consecutive three-pointers by Bryson.
Beatty made another three to key a 5-0 surge and put Pacific back up by double-figures, 49-39, but threes by Bryson and Taran Brown , and three free throws by Kyle Boswell, who was fouled while attempting a three-pointer, made it a one-point game, 49-48, with 13:24 to play.
After Rodrigo De Souza scored on a lay-up down the lane, Bryson nailed another three to tie the score at 51 apiece 12:13 on the clock. Excluding 0-0, it was the game's first tie.
"Michael was fantastic today," said UCSB head coach Bob Williams. "At halftime we looked at the box score and they (the Tigers) had made 8-of-11 three-point attempts. We told the guys that there was on reason we couldn't do that in the second half, and we did."
The score hovered between a tie and a four-point Pacific lead for the next two minutes, but another three-point bucket by Bryson and one by Boswell gave the Gauchos their first lead of the game, 57-55, with 9:59 to go.
A pair of free throws by Lorenzo McCloud and a tip-in by Beatty put the Tigers back on top, 59-57, but Bryson made yet another triple to make it 60-59 with 8:12 remaining.
Bryson made a pair of free throws to tie the game for the last time, 66-66, with 1:52 to play. A McCloud free throw and a baseline lay-up by Travis Fulton pushed the Tigers back in front, 69-66, with 17 seconds left.
The Gauchos opted to go for two instead of three on the next possession and Bryson knifed down the middle for a slam dunk, making it 69-68 with 9.4 seconds to play.
Then things got even more interesting.
Pacific got the ball into McCloud who drove up the left sideline. He was fouled by UCSB's Boswell and went to the line to shoot two free throws. Apparently, however, as he was being fouled, McCloud threw an elbow that connected with Boswell's face, and he was whistled for a dead ball technical, meaning that he would get his two free throws and then the Gauchos would get two and possession.
Following a lengthy delay as the officials reviewed the video, McCloud and Boswell each missed both of their free throw attempts, but Santa Barbara had one final possession.
The Gauchos got the ball in and worked to Bryson at the upper-left portion of the three-point arc. The freshman lined-up the shot, but it rimmed out. Beatty rebounded and was fouled with 0.7 seconds left. He made both free throws for the final 71-68 margin.
UCSB was in the game despite its leading scorer – sophomore Alan Williams – scoring just four points. He was 1-for-10 from the field, but he did have 10 rebounds. Brown finished with 16 points and seven boards. McCloud had 12 and Fulton 11 for the Tigers, which will advance to the semifinals in head coach Bob Thomason's 25th an final season.

7. Robert Pires - 62 Goals
The first Arsenal entry on our list and Robert Pires evidently filled his boots during his stay in north London while the Gunners were in the midst of their glory years under Arsene Wenger. The Frenchman hit exactly the same amount of goals as David Beckham but did it in considerably less games - 67 to be precise. Sadly he couldn't add to his tally during a short-stay at Aston Villa, while if he had just hit that penalty rather than muck up a ridiculous routine against Manchester City in 2005 then he'd be 7th in his own right. Serves him right.

Move Over Helicopter Moms, Today's Parents Are Letting Loose
Move Over Helicopter Moms, Today's Parents Are Letting Loose
The helicopter parenting movement is finding itself in a bit of a tailspin these days. Tired of the overscheduled, overprotected tots that the parenting philosophy has produced, today's mamas want to loosen things up a bit and are finding themselves at a loss for how to do it.
The release of The Art of Roughhousing ($10), has parents thinking back to the fun they used to have with their parents and older siblings as children, only doing it a bit more cautiously with their own kids. The book that features step-by-step sketches for traditional horseplay activities, including pillow fights and the Underdog. The new book isn't the only one advocating such play. Check out other texts that aim to shake up the way parents currently interact with their kids.

Carnival Cruise Lines has been beset by a fresh dose of mechanical mishaps, disgruntled passengers and bad publicity this week.
The latest cruise ship to suffer a breakdown is Carnival Legend, which is heading back to Tampa under reduced power because it's having problems with one of its Azipod propulsion units. It's the third Carnival cruise ship to lose power, propulsion or toilets within a week.
The Legend, which can hold more than 2,000 passengers, left Tampa on Sunday for a seven-day cruise around the Caribbean. But it ended up skipping a scheduled stop in the Cayman Islands on Friday to get back to Tampa on time.
Despite those mechanical failures, Carnival said that the Legend will arrive on time early Sunday morning. Then the cruise ship will have just hours to get ready to ship out with a new group of passengers later Sunday afternoon for another seven-day cruise.
Passengers on that cruise have the option of canceling for a full refund or rescheduling, according to company spokeswoman Joyce Oliva.
"We've got technicians on board and we brought in a specialist," said Oliva, "and they're working on getting the propulsion problem fixed."
Ross Klein is a sociology professor at Memorial University of Newfoundland who studies the cruise ship industry and runs the industry-monitoring site cruisejunkie.com. He said passengers on the Legend told him that the ship's crew warned them that there may be a delay.
"The passengers had been told they may not get to Tampa on schedule," Klein said.
Oliva said the company expects the ship to arrive back in Tampa on time.
Every passenger aboard the Legend will get a $100 credit and a refund of what they paid to go ashore on Grand Cayman. They will also receive 50 percent off future cruises with Carnival.
More than 4,000 passengers were stranded aboard the Carnival Dream in St. Maarten on Thursday when a failing backup generator affected the elevators and bathrooms. Guests were flown back to Port Canaveral. The Carnival Elation was accompanied by a tugboat along the Mississippi River after a propulsion failure on March 9.
But one of the most infamous incidents was just last month, when more than 3,000 passengers were left stranded in the Gulf of Mexico after an engine fire crippled the Carnival Triumph. Passengers spent several days in filthy conditions without power while being towed ashore.
"Each of these situations was different," said Oliva, the Carnival spokeswoman, in an email. "All modes of transportation, including cruise ships, have strong overall safety records, but sometimes technical issues will occur from time to time
EARLIER: For the second time this week, Carnival Cruise Lines says one of its ships has experienced problems during a cruise.
On Friday, the company said a technical issue with one of the ship's thrusters is affecting the sailing speed of the Legend, forcing the cancellation of a stop at the Grand Cayman Islands.
The ship is expected to arrive in Tampa as scheduled Sunday following a seven-day cruise. Passengers will get a $100 credit, refunds on pre-paid shore excursions and half off on a future cruise.
Also this week, the Carnival Dream experienced problems with an on-board generator while docked in St. Maarten. Passengers are being flown home.
A month ago, passengers on the Carnival Triumph spent five days in the Gulf of Mexico without power or working toilets.

EARLIER: Carnival Cruise Lines says another of its ships has experienced problems and is heading back to the Port of Tampa.
Late Thursday, the company said "a technical issue" affecting the sailing speed of the Legend forced the cancellation of a stop at Grand Cayman Islands.
The Tampa Bay Times (http://bit.ly/15Qdu3a ) reports the ship is expected to arrive in Tampa as scheduled Sunday following a seven-day cruise. Passengers will get a $100 credit, refunds on pre-purchased shore excursions in Grand Cayman and half off on a future cruise.
The Carnival Dream experienced problems with an on-board generator while docked in St. Maarten and the company announced Thursday that passengers would be flown home.
A month ago, passengers on the Carnival Triumph spent five days in the Gulf of Mexico without power or working toilets.

Taking a closer look at shares of Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (BABA), we have noted that the Chaikin Oscillator reading is currently above zero. Traders following the stock may be on the lookout for possible bullish momentum.
Checking in on some other technical levels, the 14-day RSI is currently at 42.33, the 7-day stands at 40.57, and the 3-day is sitting at 39.78. Many investors look to the Relative Strength Index (RSI) reading of a particular stock to help identify overbought/oversold conditions. The RSI was developed by J. Welles Wilder in the late 1970's. Wilder laid out the foundation for future technical analysts to further investigate the RSI and its relationship to underlying price movements. Since its inception, RSI has remained very popular with traders and investors. Other technical analysts have built upon the work of Wilder. The 14-day RSI is still a widely popular choice among technical stock analysts.
Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (BABA) currently has a 14-day Commodity Channel Index (CCI) of -66.84. Dedicated investors may choose to use this technical indicator as a stock evaluation tool. Used as a coincident indicator, the CCI reading above +100 would reflect strong price action which may signal an uptrend. On the flip side, a reading below -100 may signal a downtrend reflecting weak price action. Using the CCI as a leading indicator, technical analysts may use a +100 reading as an overbought signal and a -100 reading as an oversold indicator, suggesting a trend reversal.
The Average Directional Index or ADX is technical analysis indicator used to discern if a market is trending or not trending. The ADX alone measures trend strength but not direction. Using the ADX with the Plus Directional Indicator (+DI) and Minus Directional Indicator (-DI) may help determine the direction of the trend as well as the overall momentum. Many traders will use the ADX alongside other indicators in order to help spot proper trading entry/exit points. Currently, the 14-day ADX for Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (BABA) is 27.43. Generally speaking, an ADX value from 0-25 would indicate an absent or weak trend. A value of 25-50 would indicate a strong trend. A value of 50-75 would signal a very strong trend, and a value of 75-100 would indicate an extremely strong trend.
Taking a peek at some Moving Averages, the 200-day is at 149.19, the 50-day is 180.39, and the 7-day is sitting at 175.32. The moving average is a popular tool among technical stock analysts. Moving averages are considered to be lagging indicators that simply take the average price of a stock over a specific period of time. Moving averages can be very useful for identifying peaks and troughs. They may also be used to help the trader figure out proper support and resistance levels for the stock.
Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (BABA)'s Williams Percent Range or 14 day Williams %R presently is at -64.79. In general, if the reading goes above -20, the stock may be considered to be overbought. Alternately, if the indicator goes under -80, this may show the stock as being oversold. The Williams %R indicator helps show the relative situation of the current price close to the period being observed.

Part 3: 1953 Travel Set
Added Jun 13, 2010
by ajtak7171
Vienna, Austria
Here we go, top and blazer of the three piece suit, which makes up the staple of the travel set, are finished! I ran into trouble here and there – this kind of silk (I LOVE IT) is not so easy to sew with, it ravels easily and doesn't like machine stitching… (the edges sort of "expand" under the needle and gape out if you're not careful – I opted for quite a bit of hand stitching). Blazer is fully lined of course and a treat to wear. Though it is linen-like in its look, it is much softer and doesn't crease (is that the right word?) as fast. I actually wore it to the theater yesterday and barely had to iron it for the photos today! I tried to make the same poses as in the magazine and use the same styling and I think I succeeded more than last time :-)I love how you can put a brooch on the band of the skirt and make it look like a dress with a belt… I like how the pleats from top and skirt match up… I'd say I am generally happy with the outcome.
It is amazing how you can use this for an elegant evening as well as a sporty day suit. I went for the vintage look in the photos, but blazer as well as top can be worn with jeans and look modern. Oh, and by the way, I went to the theater by bike! I love this skirt (the description of the skirt is in part 1 of the travel set series…)! The blazer has the most beautiful pattern – see how the pockets, the front bodice and the arms are all in one part? Those were funky pattern shapes! It also asked for tricky gussets, but it worked out better than I feared…

I love it!!! The trim is especially creative. The fabric, the poses, the fit… It's all wonderful! One of the best I've seen on burdastyle yet!

Danke! Ja, es sind zwei Teile, Top und Rock, und dann eben noch der Blazer dazu. Wenn Du bei "part 1" schaust, siehst Du alle Originalillustrationen… Ich glaube die Jacke war der ursprüngliche "Zünder", über den ich mich in dieses Set verliebt habe…

Wow! This is gorgious! With this set I feel like travelling to Vienna and strolling around the old places and cafés. Great job! Thanks for this inspiration!

Your suit is absolutely beautiful! I love the other items of the set you've posted as well (part 1 and 2) and am looking forward to seeing the remaining ones. I really your attention to detail, like the trim around the neckline, the brooch and the buttons. You look absolutely stunning. You say the pattern from Neue Moden only came in one size. I knew they didn't have multisize patterns like in modern burdas, but are all the patterns in the magazine in the same size or is each garment a different one? I've been thinking of buying some 50s pattern magazines like Neue Moden, Burda, etc and was wonderng what the sizing would be like.

Thanks a lot! Yes, the patterns each come in one size only, but different sizes for different garments (of course the dress you want NEVER happens to be in your size…). The sizes are either 0-IV, or by bust measurements… In the 60's some magazines have each pattern in two sizes, but still not the multi size patterns we know today. But grading is not so bad, really, you'll get the hang of it!

Hummmm! So beautiful and elegant! You did a great job witj it. It looks super well executed! I love the 40`s and 50`s and this dress is a great design of that period. Stunning!
Jun 14, 2010, 06.43 PMby lovelypolly
Wow, this is sooooo pretty! amazing! I wonder if it is comfy; I mean, would you travel far distances with it.? I guess in the 50ies it was much more important to look good rather than to feel easy. What´s the exact specification of the silk?
1 Reply
Jun 15, 2010, 06.48 AMby ajtak7171
Thank you and yes, I would absolutely travel far distances! The original skirt would have the pleat in the back sewn together all the way down to past the knee, which would make it difficult to board trains and cablecars, not to even mention riding a bike… but since I left it open, it is very comfy! This material is AMAZING. It is 100% silk, but I can't remember the specification…. I think it's "silk noil" or "silk suiting"…

The pattern is from a "Vorbachs Neue Moden" from May 1953, that I bought through Ebay Austria… Not easy to work with… the patterns only come in one size (two sizes too big for me) and they are difficult to copy down from the pattern plan… You see a picture from the whole page when you go to Part 1 of my series…
Jun 13, 2010, 07.13 PMby lilibellech
So classic and sexy!
Jun 13, 2010, 05.20 PMby keren
Thanks. It is so warm that there is no selection of jacket fabrics in stores. Everything is light and summery. So I ended up buying an inexpensive heavy cotton twill in a dark bluish with a bit of grey-ish color. The lining is you know, shiny lightweight lining fabric – quite nice, white with pin stripes in blue and red. I think the buttons will need to "make" the jacket… And the pattern as well, because it is quite an interesting pattern (from Burda Jan 2009). We'll see :-)
Jun 13, 2010, 03.10 PMby TheSerialHobbyistGirl

I love the jacket and the fabric. It looks amazing and so meticulously done. I am impressed by how you are so devoted to this project!! Great job and great photos :-) I love the princess seam on the jacket, and the pockets, and its collar. I am also making a jacket now (first time!) – if you have any fabric recommendations I would be happy to hear them!

Thank you so much! I find choosing fabrics daunting enough for myself, so I don't have the confidence to give you much advice… BUT: The choice of lining is more important than you think, and also any other interfacings you might use… fusible, non-fusible… you can turn almost any fabric into the right weight and "flow" by your choice of interfacings/lining… Good luck!!!

text: This question has been popping up fairly often, but I don't know how many tutorials there are for this (if any.) Well, Laan recently asked me to rig up his Hyperdyne remote controlled servo to his helmet. So, I thought I'd post a tutorial of ONE way to rig it up if anyone ever decides to do this or do something similar. Here are the items I used: 1) Hyperdyne Bounty Hunter Servo Controller 2) Hollow rangefinder stalk by terminal fettler. Here is the inside of the helmet with the most of the kit (less the servo) installed: Right off the bat, I will note the switch right below the batteries is the power on/off switch. I put it there for easy access while wearing the helmet. I also taped the wires down so they won't catch on anything. The chip at the far left is the servo controller board, and next to it is the transmitter / receiver board. I just used a small amount of hot glue in each corner to hold each board to the helmet. It works really well as it will take a lot of effort to remove a board. I used industrial strength velcro to hold the batteries in place. A couple of notes about the servo controller board: The switch there is NOT an on/off switch! It's a "manual/automatic" switch. Positioned to the right like pictured is "automatic" mode meaning the rangefinder will go up and down with just the push of the remote button. Positioned left is "manual" mode meaning the rangefinder will move only when the remote button is HELD down. Secondly, note the three prongs next to the switch. The servo plugs into that, but note which way: The black wire is towards the side of the chip, and the yellow wire is towards the center. Next step is to rig the servo to the stalk. TF's stalk comes with a screw at the end. The key is to secure the screw to one of the pieces that comes with the rangefinder like so: There is one critical thing here: make sure the screw is centered up!!! I found it is easy to do this first by using some superglue so the screw can be moved around and then set. Once it is set, use some JB Weld to secure the two parts (let it dry overnight.) Yes, this bond is strong enough: This piece easily attaches to the servo: And here is how the piece will attach to the stalk: Yes, it just screws in. I recommend using medium strength Lock Tight threadlocker (blue.) Medium strength will produce a strong bond, but not to the point where it will be impossible to loosen should it ever need to be loosened. The last step is to rig the stalk and servo to the helmet as described above. NOTE: I strongly encourage this step be performed AFTER the helmet is painted. Otherwise it's going to be difficult to paint with the rangefinder stalk already installed. 1) Insert the stalk through the hole in the earcap (make sure the hole is big enough.) 2) Put some of the threadlocker on the screw, and screw the connected servo piece and screw into the helmet. Let the threadlocker dry! 3) Make sure the stalk and servo are BOTH in the UP position, and then connect the servo as described above. Use hot glue (and super glue if needed) to hold the servo to the helmet. Here is a picture of what the finished product will look like. I used my helmet to show the finished product here:

State Works To Help Firms
NEW BREMEN — Workforce development is a top priority for the governor's office, a state official said during a presentation with representatives from various departments in the region Monday morning.
Mark Birnbrich, with the Ohio Office of Workforce Transformation, began by noting there are 77 workforce programs in the state of Ohio that administers federal grants spread across 13 different agencies, with 1,300 different entrance points spread across those entities. Birnbrich spoke to a group of local economic development officials at New Bremen High School Monday morning.
He noted so far they've done focus group work.
"We gathered all info and aligned the data and started to say what does this mean for us and how are we going to get to where we need to be," he said. "We took all that data and started mapping a framework of where we need to be and how we need to start doing this."
Birnbrich noted the three goals they have to achieve through the Office of Workforce Transformation: Streamline our workforce systems, improve system performance and access and investing resources in business demand.
The first step in streamlining, he said, is regionalization — they are taking JobsOhio and creating smaller sub-regions in it.
"The JobsOhio regions are too big for workforce," he said. "We'll be breaking up a JobsOhio region into sub-regions to bring those regional folks together."
Another part of streamlining is artificial intelligence.
"The individuals and employers can go to and say I have this, this and this need, what out of those 77 programs will fill that need?" Birnbrich said. "So we have to fulfill some artificial intelligence ... We need to get to a common point that we can explain to you at a very high level these are the seven out of the 77 programs that we feel can meet your needs and where we can go from there."
Tied in with that, he said, is the workforce gateway that would consist of an online Internet-based gateway.
"Our goal is to have a single point of entry for an individual, and we're actually talking career connections and all the way K-12," Birnbrich said. "We've got to stop coloring bears and animals, and we've got to start coloring robots and solar panels and engineering and manufacturing and getting our kids minds to be thinking about that stuff."
He noted students should understand career needs and repercussions and every person starts at the same place. It would be the same thing at an employer's standpoint.
"One of the biggest things we heard from employers is that of the 13 agencies and the 77 programs, it doesn't matter if it's the same agency and one of their four programs through that agency you have to tell me who you are, and it's the same agency and the same forms," Birnbrich said.
"For all these programs, if you're company ABC, you're company ABC regardless if you're doing anything for any one of these programs."
For improving system performance and access, Birnbrich stressed self-sustaining jobs and a "concierge storage."
"Having the ability that you as an employer has one place to call and say I have this ... What programs do you have out of the 77 that can solve this problem," he said. "So we're putting together sort of a hotline, we're having online chat, all of these things centered around that give you easy access to be calling us and talking to us ... that you don't have to figure out how to navigate the 77 — those are all things that we're working on and where we're headed."
Career connections, he said, will focus on the education standpoint and making sure every school district has the same data about what's happening with the job market and support programs.
"It doesn't matter where you should be, you should have this access," Birnbrich said. "Wherever we go, we hear the same message from employers about kids not understanding what they're doing today and the repercussions of when they try to find a job later and advanced manufacturing and they don't understand this and that and how we're going to deliver that message."
He noted the regionalization would be the same with training — such as there being one welding provider in the region and the state would support the one welding provider.
"Otherwise, we can't keep spreading our resources all over the place, we don't have the money," he said.
"It's going to be the local providers, businesses, the community, sitting around and saying here's who wins this, here's who gets this and how we're going to do it."
A pilot started in Cincinnati with training providers, business leaders, the local chamber, education and economic development people to have a discussion about the plan for that area, as well as forecasting — how to change the workforce system and training to understand the needs of employers.
"From that, we're going to start building, this is the need that we hear today and here's how we're going to get it," Birnbrich said. "We're taking that (forecasting) model and that's what we're going to use to say that's where we're going to invest in our dollars because these are the employers who have spoke to us."
Birnbrich stressed the changes for each region to be sustainable and long-lasting and what works for a larger area, such as Cleveland, may not work for a smaller town like New Bremen.
"We're really trying to make sure as we do this, that we're really trying to do it on a regional basis, smaller groups coming together and solving those problems," he said.
As for a timeline for the changes, Birnbrich estimated everything could be in place and mapped by 2013. He also noted Ohio Means Jobs received a $12 million federal grant, which has affected the timeline because there's already money in place.
Birnbrich also noted co-ops and internships and connecting students with businesses.
"We need to figure out how to fund these co-ops and internships and how businesses can reach out and pull these kids, but it's got to be on a regional basis as we hear that information," he said. "Not every region can handle that."
He said that issue tied in with the third goal of investing resources in business demand.
"If we have a demand of co-ops and internships and on-the-job training, whatever it may be, we need to figure out how on a regional basis that these funds are being spent on those initiatives," Birnbrich said.
"We've got to make sure the businesspeople are at the table."
He said there are a plethora of grants that are very targeted on a specific group.
"We're going to continue to go after that money because the last thing we want to do is not go after money that we can use to serve some individuals in the state of Ohio in those targeted groups," Birnbrich said.
"It is all going to be about investing our resources in business demand, which means starting with forecasting, listening to the business community and changing those providers to understand it's not about your performance that gets back to the federal government, it's about our performance to the business leaders in Ohio and grow Ohio and change where we need to go."
Birnbrich took questions from attendees, with one of the most brought up being the impression, especially on parents, that students need to go to college.
"We've all been ingrained that everyone needs to go to a two-year, four-year school or they're not going to amount to anything in this world," he said, noting he has seen the same thing with his two children.
"It's so ingrained that everyone thinks that mentality — we've got to make sure that shift happens."
Overall to end, he summarized his goals.
"That's really our main focus is how we start streamlining, make it less bureaucratic and make it quick and easy for employers to get what they need and government stays out the way and do the minimum we have to do to report back to the feds," Birnbrich said.

Juveniles charged with Lower City Park assault
Two juveniles were arrested Monday night by McMinnville police for their involvement in the assault of a 16-year-old girl and 15-year-old boy in Lower City Park.
The female juveniles, ages 16 and 15, were charged with one count each of third-degree assault and second-degree disorderly conduct. The assault charge is a Class C felony and the disorderly conduct charge a Class B misdemeanor. They were also cited for being a minor in possession of alcohol. They were lodged in the Yamhill County Juvenile Detention Facility.
The News-Register generally only reports the names of juveniles charged with either a Class A or Class B felony.
Capt. Dennis Marks of the McMinnville police gave this account:
About 8:15 p.m., officers responded to a report of a fight or a disturbance in the creek bed area of the park. The initial report was that about seven individuals were assaulting a male and female. Officers contacted most of the involved individuals before they could leave the park.
Based on statements of those involved and of an independent witness, the suspects were with several adult and juvenile friends in the park.
The two girls began verbally harassing the victims who were walking through the park. The 15-year-old suspect escalated the situation by shoving and then punching the male victim and threatening the female.
He responded by fighting back. That reportedly upset friends of the suspects, at which time five males and females chased down and assisted the 15-year-old suspect in assaulting the male victim.
The victims were transported to the Willamette Valley Medical Center for treatment of injuries that included cuts and swelling to the head as the result of being kicked and punched.
More arrests are anticipated, according to Marks, who said police were provided a video recording of the incident by one of the individuals who was involved.
Anyone with information about the incident should call McMinnville police at 503-434-7307.

BRIDGEVIEW, Ill. — It only lasted a few seconds, but a small grin broke out on Frank Klopas' face during his press conference following the Chicago Fire's 2-1 win over Montreal on Saturday, and he wasn't even talking about anyone on the field during the short-handed victory.
What procured the smile, which had been absent for much of the Fire's rough start to the season, was talk about Arévalo Ríos, the Fire's new Designated Player, who is waiting to join a team that has turned around a once-dismal season. While Ríos didn't necessarily fill a position of pressing need, Klopas and the Fire front office have been outspoken about their excitement with having a player of his caliber.
"He's an unbelievable quality player and it speaks volumes of the commitment," Klopas said. "Everybody can talk [expletive] and everything about the commitment of our owner, excuse my language, to bring a guy like that at this point because this is a world-class player, and I can guarantee you a lot of teams, a lot of teams, would not have made that commitment, but it's all about winning.
"He's been there, we haven't always gotten it right. This guy's a world-class player. We made the commitment we said, 'This is the guy, bring him,' and he brings depth, leadership and all that stuff, so that's what it's all about."

Ten games ago, Mike Magee joined newly acquired Bakary Soumare to give the Fire a boost immediately. After starting the season 2-7-3, Chicago's seven wins in their last 10 games have been more than any team in the league.
Now, they hope Ríos and and new DP forward Juan Luis Anangonó, who made his MLS debut when he appeared in last Wednesday's US Open Cup semifinal vs. D.C. United, can give them a similar boost and help them jump into a playoff spot.
"Magic Mike has been great for us," midfielder Joel Lindpere told MLSsoccer.com. "You know, we have some new Designated Players, so they've got to show up. That's the way the league is built, and when we see that they bring the DP's in, and they make the strength of the team, so those are the guys that need to make a difference in the team."
Ríos could play as soon as this weekend if the Fire are able to clear up an international spot, and Anangonó is inching closer and closer to 100 percent after spending a few weeks with the team.
While both have international pedigree – Ríos is a regular for Uruguay and Anangonó is in Ecuador's player pool – Lindpere is itching to see how they perform in MLS over the final stretch of the season.

"We don't know nothing, we've never seen them play," Lindpere said. "They are from different leagues, so it's excitement. You want to see how they combine and how they adjust and also it's also how to see how they manage the situation, to come in and make the situation better and help this team out. I think Juan played his first game and did a very good job."
Chicago now have three huge Eastern Conference matchups against New England, Sporting Kansas City and Houston. With strong results in all three games, they could put themselves securely in a playoff spot, something that seemed like a far-off dream a few months ago.
"I think everybody had written us off for the start but it's not how you start it's how you finish," Klopas said. "They have never given up and they never will until the end. Now we just have to move ahead, it's a good feeling but the commitment has to be even more from everyone in order to reach our goal."

Statistics from Altmetric.com
Q In patients with high blood pressure in ambulatory settings, what is the effectiveness of interventions aimed at increasing adherence to blood pressure lowering medication?
Data sources:
Medline, CINAHL, and EMBASE/Excerpta Medica (all from inception to April 2002); Cochrane Controlled Trials Register (Issue 1, 2002); bibliographies of relevant articles; authors; and experts.
Study selection and assessment:
randomised controlled trials (RCTs) in any language that compared interventions to increase adherence to blood pressure lowering medication (including patient education, simplification of dosage regimens, involvement of allied health professionals, special monitoring methods, and motivation) with no intervention or usual care in adults with essential hypertension in a primary care, outpatient, or other community setting. Exclusion criteria included patients with secondary hypertension. Individual study quality was assessed based on randomisation process, allocation concealment, blinding, power calculation, and loss to follow up.
adherence to medication and blood pressure control.
38 RCTs (15 519 patients) of 58 different interventions met the selection criteria. Follow up duration ranged from 2–60 months. Adherence was measured in various ways including self report, direct questioning, pill counts, and the Medication Event Monitoring System. Results were not pooled because of heterogeneity among studies. 19 RCTs reported an improvement in adherence alone, of which 13 also reported blood pressure changes. 7 RCTs reported an improvement in adherence combined with a reduction in blood pressure. 7 RCTs reported a reduction in blood pressure without an increase in adherence. 15 RCTs did not report a blood pressure outcome. None of the studies examined major clinical endpoints. Of 9 RCTs that used simplification of dosing regimens, 7 reported improved adherence; relative increase in adherence ranged from 8–20%. Of 6 studies that used patient education, only 1 small RCT reported improved adherence with no effect on blood pressure. Of 24 RCTs that used patient motivation, support, and reminders, 10 reported mostly small increases in adherence to a maximum of 23%. Of 18 RCTs that used complex combined health and organisational interventions, 8 reported increased adherence ranging from 5–41%.
In patients with high blood pressure in ambulatory settings, simplifying dosing regimens appears to increase adherence to blood pressure lowering medication. However, effects on subsequent blood pressure are unclear. Motivational strategies and complex interventions may improve treatment adherence, but more evidence is needed. Patient education alone does not appear to improve treatment adherence.
The review by Schroeder et al assesses the effects of strategies for improving adherence to medication and blood pressure control (including simplifying dosing regimens) in patients with hypertension. The findings will be of interest to nurses in ambulatory settings who care for patients on oral antihypertensive medications.
The data sources and study selection process enhance the likelihood that the review includes the most relevant studies. Exclusion criteria limit the generalisability of the results to ambulatory settings and patients with primary hypertension. The review did not examine drug interactions, side effects, or costs in relation to level of adherence or level of blood pressure control.
The authors conclude that in ambulatory settings, simplifying dosing regimens increases adherence to blood pressure lowering medication in patients with high blood pressure but that the effect on subsequent blood pressure levels is unclear. More evidence is required to determine if motivational strategies and complex interventions are as effective for improving treatment adherence. The finding that patient education alone does not promote adherence has a direct impact on nursing practice. Nurses will need to combine educational interventions with other strategies and continue to assess the effects of their approaches on both adherence and blood pressure levels.
Treatment with antihypertensive medication is an important component of multi-interventional blood pressure management and cardiovascular risk reduction care plans.1,2 The review by Schroeder et al strengthens the position that simplifying antihypertensive dosing regimens can lead to improved medication adherence in patients with primary hypertension who access care through ambulatory settings.

Biology Practice Test 9
Question: 1
In which of the following amino acids is hydrogen (H) present as an R group?
- Valine
- Glycine
- Histidine
- Arginine
- Glutamic acid
Correct Answer: B. Glycine
The basic structure of an amino acid includes an alpha carbon atom to which a COOH, an H and an NH2 are attached. The fourth position is only variable and is called as R group. Glycine is the smallest of amino acids. It has an R group which is made up of an H molecule.
Question: 2
In which of the following stages is a baby's sex decided?
- Zygote
- Embryo
- Gastrula
- Blastula
- Neurula
Correct Answer: A. Zygote
In human, after fertilization of the male and female gametes the zygote formed contains either XX chromosomes (which develop into female) or XY chromosomes (which develop into male). This is decided by the sperm (X or Y) that fuses with the ovum.
Question: 3
Organisms exhibiting high intrinsic growth rates have
- Short generation time
- Low carrying capacity
- No courtship behaviours
- Long generation time
- High carrying capacity
Correct Answer: A. Short generation time
Intrinsic growth rate is the maximum rate at which a particular population would grow under the absence of external growth suppressing agents or conditions. Organisms possessing high intrinsic growth rates have short generation time (time needed to produce the offspring).
Question: 4
Schizogony is a characteristic feature of
- Arthropods
- Algae
- Sporozoans
- Nematodes
- Both A and D
Correct Answer: C. Sporozoans
Schizogony is the asexual mode of reproduction in sporozoans. It is the process where the nucleus divides first followed by the segmentation of cytoplasm by multiple fission resulting in the formation of merozoites. For example in Plasmodium schizogony stage occurs in the hepatocytes of liver and RBC's of humans.
Question: 5
The arrangement of teeth on one side of adult human mouth is
- Premolars, molars, canine, incisors
- Molars, premolars, canine, incisors
- Incisors, canine, premolars and molars
- Canine, incisors, premolars and molars
- Canine, premolars, molars, incisors
Correct Answer: C. Incisors, canine, premolars and molars
Humans are of heterodont dentition; that means non similar teeth. Adult humans have 32 permanent teeth in which one half of the upper and lower jaws show 2 incisors, 1 canine, 2 premolars and 3 molars.
Question: 6
Supercoiling of DNA during replication is prevented by
- DnaB protein
- Topoisomerase
- DnaG protein
Correct Answer: B. Topoisomerase
Topoisomerase is involved in preventing positive supercoiling of DNA during replication. SSBP (single strand binding protein) is needed for maintaining the strands in the separated state during replication. DnaB protein and DnaG protein have helicase and primase activity respectively.
Question: 7
Which of the following hormones is responsible for reabsorption of water from kidney?
- Renin
- Oxytocin
- Antidiuretic hormone
- Insulin
- Glucocorticoids
Correct Answer: C. Antidiuretic hormone
Antidiuretic hormone is secreted by posterior pituitary. It is also called as arginine vasopressin. The body water level remains stable despite of variation of water taken. This is due to the action of antidiuretic hormone. It prevents the production of dilute urine.
Question: 8
Ferns do not possess
- Flowers
- Seeds
- Spores
- Both A and B
- Both B and C
Correct Answer: D. Both A and B
Pteridophytes are the group of plants which are termed as ferns. They are vascular plants with the conductive tissues xylem and phloem. Leaves and roots are present in ferns. They have no flowers and seeds for reproduction. Instead they are cryptogams (reproduce through spores).
Question: 9
Which of the following can lead to loss of pluripotency of stem cells?
- Increased expression of oct-4 gene
- Oct-4 siRNA transfection
- Use of LIF
- High expression of ß- catenin
- None of these
Correct Answer: Oct-4 siRNA transfection
Oct-4 is considered as a very important protein for maintaining the pluripotency of stem cells. siRNA against oct-4 will decrease its amount in the cell and thus it will negatively affect the pluripotency of the cell.
Question: 10
Decidua refers to
- Endometrium of uterus
- Yolk sac of egg
- The outer layer of blastocyst
- Embryo after cleavage
- None of the above
Correct Answer: A. Endometrium of uterus
Decidua is the mucous membrane lining the uterus. It is modified during pregnancy and shed during menstruation and parturition. It forms the maternal part of placenta.
Question: 11
A solution containing a protein molecule shows_____ entropy when compared to a solution containing its free amino acids.
- Equal
- Higher
- Lower
- Either higher or lower
- Negligible
Correct Answer: C. Lower
Entropy is a measure of disorderliness in a system. A protein is a chain of amino acids linked together in an orderly manner. Hence a protein will have lower entropy than its amino acids that are in unbound state.
Question: 12
Gluconeogenesis takes place mainly in
- Liver
- Kidney
- Pancreas
- Muscles
- Both A and B
Correct Answer: E. Both A and B
Gluconeogenesis is the synthesis of glucose from a non carbohydrate source. Liver and kidney are the main sites of gluconeogenesis.
Question: 13
The individuals who possess one of the alleles of sickle cell disease are more resistant to
- Cholera
- Typhoid
- Malaria
- Common cold
- None of the above
Correct Answer: C. Malaria
The individuals who possess one of the alleles of sickle cell disease are resistant to malaria. The malarial parasites replicate in the RBC. The sickled RBC has unusual shape when compared to the normal RBC and contains pores in its cell membrane. The malarial parasites cannot survive in the sickled RBC and therefore an individual with sickle cell disease is more resistant to malaria.
Question: 14
Parapodia are present in
- Platyhelminthes
- Arthropods
- Cnidarians
- Porifers
- Annelids
Correct Answer: E. Annelids
Parapodia are paired unjointed lateral outgrowths from the body of annelids. Parapodia functions in locomotion. It is mainly seen in polychaetes (belong to phylum annelida). They are also found in some animals like sea snail.
Question: 15
Rain occurs due to
- Precipitation of condensed water vapour
- Sublimation
- Evaporation
- Percolation

The Fire Service is responsible for fighting fires and protecting life and property in the event of a fire, but it is ultimately the responsibility of public venues in minimising the risk from fire in its building.
Fires can start regardless of how careful you are, so it is important to know that every one using the building can escape safely if they need to.
Each building should have an emergency fire action plan specifying the evacuation procedures for everyone, including disabled evacuation.
The focus on access into premises to enable disabled people to fully use a building needs to be matched with arrangements for their safe disabled evacuation if necessary.
The safe egress and evacuation of disabled people requires careful consideration and attention.
Where an employer or a service provider does not make provision for disabled evacuation from their premises, this is likely to constitute a failure to comply with the requirements of fire safety law and may be an offence.
It could also be considered to be disability discrimination under the DDA.

The Savannah College of Art and Design architectural history department is pleased to present the 8th Savannah Symposium: Modernities Across Time and Space Feb. 7-9, at the SCAD Museum of Art. Hosted in historic downtown Savannah, Georgia, home to the nation's first planned city and largest National Historic Landmark District, the event will focus on "modernities" in the broadest and most critical terms relating to architecture, landscape and the imagined environment.
Scholars from over a dozen countries will present more than 60 papers exploring topics ranging from the significance of the split-level house in mid-20th-century suburbanization to post-colonial reinterpretations of world architecture. Some studies will focus on particular sites or examples of modern architecture, while others will interpret who determined the modernity, when and where it occurred, and how it was presented and promoted.
"This is the robust global symposium it is because of its topical theme underlying much of historical interpretation today," said Daves Rossell, SCAD architectural history professor, who is serving as symposium co-director along with fellow SCAD architectural history professor Patrick Haughey. "Through keynotes by two leading scholars and a rich diversity of shorter papers, as well as panel discussion and tours, we hope to uncover new interpretive angles through which to understand and appreciate our phenomenal built environment."
Keynote speakers include Dell Upton, professor of architectural history at the University of California at Los Angeles, and Mark Jarzombek, associate dean of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology School of Architecture and Planning.
Upton, author of "Another City: Urban Life and Urban Spaces in the New American Republic" (Yale University Press, 2008), as well as "Architecture in the United States" (1998), a volume in the Oxford History of Art series, will present a talk titled, "Neglected Modernity." The lecture will examine some of the implications of the availability of new and relatively cheap materials such as iron, steel, glass and concrete, particularly in the 20th-century American South.
Jarzombek has published widely on a range of topics from the Renaissance to the modern and the contemporary, including "A Global History of Architecture" (Wiley Press, 2006) with co-author Vikram Prakash and noted illustrator Francis D.K. Ching. His talk, "Corridic Modernity," will trace the corridor's history to the Spanish Empire and Victorian England, the social construction of speed, and the architecture and particular type of modernity that tried to embrace it.
Event registration is required, with registration fees ranging from $10-$130. For additional information and to register, visit scad.edu/savannahsymposium.
Media inquiries may be directed to Sunny Nelson at 912.525.5225.

LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Lakers have spoken to 11-time NBA champion coach Phil Jackson about returning for a third stint on their bench.
The Lakers confirmed the discussions with Jackson on Saturday (Sunday, Manila time) on their website.
Los Angeles fired coach Mike Brown on Friday after a 1-4 start to a season of enormous expectations. Interim coach Bernie Bickerstaff led the Lakers to a blowout win over Golden State a few hours after Brown was dismissed early in his second season.
Kobe Bryant and Dwight Howard both said they would be eager to play for Jackson, who walked away from the Lakers into retirement in 2011.
Jackson will meet again with the Lakers' brass next week. The Lakers announced Bickerstaff will coach the club in a home game against Sacramento on Sunday night.

Creating The Letterpress Shakespeare
Since the First Folio in 1623 there have been countless editions of Shakespeare's works. The Folio Society wanted to do something unprecedented: to design an edition so pure, so simple, that the beauty of the text could be fully appreciated - an edition that would be as timeless as the text itself.
What would the ideal version of Shakespeare's works look like? What would result if simplicity and elegance were the goal rather than the dictates of fashion and cost efficiency?
These were the questions we asked ourselves when we embarked on our Letterpress Shakespeare series in 2006. The project was to occupy some of Europe's finest book designers, typesetters, paper-makers, printers and bindersfor eight years.
The starting point was the text. Rather than keep text and commentary together, we decided to put them into separate volumes. Out went the elements that clutter the page : footnotes and textual variants. All that was left was Shakespeare's words.
We decided to have the text printed by letterpress in 16-point Baskerville. The type is set in hot metal and impressed on thick, mouldmade paper. The margins are generous - over 6 centimetres - to allow the words room to breathe.
The result is a simple, understated design that is a delight to read and a pleasure to hold.

Dr. Brent was born in Rochester, NY and grew up in the Philadelphia area. He received his undergraduate education at Pennsylvania State University and graduated from Jefferson Medical College of the Thomas Jefferson University. Dr. Brent trained in pediatrics at the University of Colorado, in general and child psychiatry at Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic, and completed a master's degree in psychiatric epidemiology at the University of Pittsburgh School of Public Health.
He co-founded and now directs Services for Teens at Risk (STAR), a Commonwealth of Pennsylvania-funded program for suicide prevention, education of professionals, and the treatment of at-risk youth and their families. His work in the area of suicide has focused on the epidemiology of adolescent suicide, and has helped to identify the role of firearms, substance abuse, and affective disorders as risk factors for youth suicide.
Consequently, he and colleagues at Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic have helped to establish the role of cognitive therapy as a treatment for depressed adolescents in an NIMH-funded clinical trial. Dr. Brent has also focused on the familial and genetic aspects of suicide; having found that suicidal behavior clusters in families and is currently, along with colleagues at New York State Psychiatric Institute, studying how suicidal behavior may be transmitted from parent to child.
Dr. Brent's work has been funded by the William T.
