Amesbury River Walk
3 miles (5 km)
Enjoy a stroll along the River Avon on this peaceful waterside walk in Amesbury. The walk starts from the car park just south of the town centre, near Amesbury Abbey. You can then pick up public footpaths along the river towards Normanton before returning through fields to the car park.
The famous Stonehenge is only about a couple of miles west so you could easily walk there from Amesbury. See the Amesbury to Stonehenge walk for full details.
Also nearby is Durrington Walls and Woodhenge.
The long distance Salisbury Country Way passes Amesbury so this is another good option for extending your walk.

The ITA field is currently experiencing exponential growth, and has begun to make significant contributions to the lives of individuals with autism by enabling important scientific discoveries and bringing useful products to market for both treatment and diagnosis and simply to make learning and activities of daily living easier for people with autism. While other organizations are emerging to assist in these activities, AS-ITA continues to be the primary source of leadership, networking, research dissemination, and support, with many other organizations requesting AS-ITA's help and collaboration in establishing their own ITA agendas and policies. By developing methods to better serve these needs, AS-ITA can continue to play this leadership role, which will not only help to solidify and make the ITA community more effective, rigorous, diverse, and self-sufficient, but will assure that individuals with autism receive the highest possible standards of care. Our researchers are now more than ever in need of continued funding as well as on-going education, and as an initiative at Autism Speaks we are looking to further educate researchers and clinicians through courses and workshops connect researchers with the funding, networking and support opportunities available through foundations, non-profits, industry and government. Please contact us at email@example.com with any information or support opportunity you would like to post.
Our Mission & Goals / What we Fund?
Technology Grants Submission: How you can submit a grant now…
To submit a grant, please be sure to include the keyword "Technology" or "Innovative Technology" in your submission so that appropriate reviewers from the ITA committee can be assigned. Appropriate grant initiatives include Treatment, Pilot (one year) or Pre / Postdoctoral Fellowship. For more information, please visit the Autism Speaks' grants page.
All proposals must be submitted online via Autism Speaks grants administration system. System access instructions are found in each RFA.
Questions? Contact email@example.com.
In 2008, ITA awarded more than $400,000 in new research grants to develop innovative assistive, educational, therapeutic and diagnostic technologies for persons with autism; view them here: 2007 Innovative Technology for Autism (ITA) Grants.

The No. 1 player in the world was a shocking upset victim in the third round of the LPGA Sybase Match Play Championship on Saturday.
Yani Tseng lost, 3 and 2, to No. 49 seed Candie Kung in her round-of-16 match. After falling as much as three holes behind on the front nine, Tseng battled back to 1 down at the 13th hole. After a halve at 14, Kung won the next two holes to close out the world No. 1.
"Actually I wasn't surprised I lost,' Tseng said, 'because I played bad this week but it's disappointing. I like match play but I just couldn't get it in the hole."
Kung will take on Julieta Granada, who defeated Karine Icher, 1 up.
Morgan Pressel moved on, beating Na Yeon Choi in 19 holes. Anna Nordqvist defeated Amy Yang, 2 and 1, to set up a quarterfinal match with the American.
Vicky Hurst defeated Angela Stanford, 2 and 1. She will take on So Yeon Ryu, who dispatched Katherine Hull by a 5-and-4 margin.
Stacy Lewis will face Spaniard Azahara Munoz, who took out English rookie Jodi Ewart, 2 and 1. Lewis beat Sun Young Yoo, 1 up, to continue her quest for a second consecutive win.

Most blog posts that we publish are about the industry, industry challenges and the state of employee engagement. Let's face it, the stakes are high. Everyone wants to recruit, hire, engage and retain the best talent. The stats are mind-boggling:
- According to Gallup research, only 13% of employees are highly engaged, while 26% are actively disengaged.
- Research from Dale Carnegie shows that $11 BILLION are lost annually due to employee turnover.
- 80% of disengaged employees were dissatisfied with their direct manager.
But I digress. This is an article about what works, not the challenges of the industry. Here at Perks, like every company we have our issues. Workload, organizational structure, making sure people have growth paths, etc. We consistently fine-tune to stay on track and accomplish our objectives while ensuring that we retain the DNA of our organization.
Organizational DNA?
Yes, our DNA is that basic 'thing' that makes us who we are and DNA not only applies to people, but also to business. Companies must be mindful of what has worked in the past, be willing to throw out the bad and keep the good. One of the very good things here at Perks (and there are quite a lot of them) is a willingness to do what it takes to help the team and to pull together as a team. This is true from the top down and the bottom-up.
The point of my personal story about employee engagement?
You may have thought I would never get to the point, but here it is. I have the most amazing team! Not only do they work closely together, to ensure success of the marketing team (and our deliverables), they work with members outside our team to ensure their success and juggle last minute priorities. They do it all with a positive attitude and willingness to do what's right.
Last week, I wasn't feeling well and told one of the team members that I was going off-line for a while. After asking if there were any priorities that he could help with, i was asked to name my favorite cookie (white chocolate macadamia nut). Guess what showed up at my house the other day. You got it. A basket of my favorite cookies.
To be clear, I am NOT writing this story in an attempt to get more goodies, nor do I espouse that employees should bribe their managers. This story is about a team that cares deeply about other team members, the relationships both within and outside the immediate team, and the success of the organization as a whole.
If that isn't the definition of employee engagement, I don't know what is. So here's a shout out to the marketing team - YOU GUYS ROCK!
Share with us your personal stories!

At one time, there were just a few channels on the TV and it was practically hidden away in the corner of the room. Nowadays it is used as much more than an implement to show a few programs and as such deserves to be given a stand to be proud of. Some televisions are wall mounted and while this can be beneficial in some ways, it does not address the problem of where to store the DVDs and games that will be played. It is important to provide your TV with a Modern TV Stand that will both hold its weight and let you use it as you please.
It is not only the function that has changed but also the size. It is no longer the case that TVs are small, but can be up to 60" and under these circumstances, need a substantial TV stand. As well as the TV, there will be a DVD player and a multi-media box to be attached. All need places to rest and it will be helpful to have space for the DVD's next to the player. It may not be possible to store the controls there while the TV is in use, but there will be room to house them when they are not needed so as they don't get lost.
For safety reasons, there are certain items that will not be enclosed, so to accommodate these, there will need to be some shelves. The back can be enclosed providing there are gaps to allow the cables to pass through.
A Modern TV Stand will be a great deal different from the ones that you will remember growing up. They will not be large and bulky and there will be a variety of materials used. Colors can range from white or cream, through many shades of brown and on to darkest black. To give the best effect they are given a gloss finish and the better ones have LED lighting fitted so that the overall effect is bright and beautiful. They are not only a functional piece of furniture but an attractive addition to every home.
Additional Features
- Cable management. This will ensure that regardless of how many different appliances are placed on the Modern TV Stand, the cables will not get tangled up and lead to someone falling over them. Falling on the cables can be a costly as well as painful incident.
- There may be some stands that are open, but if you don't want to have all your DVD's on show, thy can be placed in a drawer where they cannot be seen. As well as drawers that slide out there will be doors that can be opened to allow access that way.
- Shelves – some items need to be given room and for this reason, there will not be a door and the item can be quickly accessed.
Choosing the Size
When deciding on the size it is important to remember that you will need to be able to place the TV stand where you will be able to see the TV clearly. It will be much better to have to store items in a different location than to have a stand located in such a way that everyone strains to see the screen properly. One last thing to remember is that modern does not mean it will be the sort of item that can be purchased, used for a while and then replaced. They are good products that will last a long time and allow the owner to have years of pleasure and use.

Stats for the GFNS and Vexed as they've appeared on Tipify
Hard to predict BO1, and the odds will probably move a lot by tomorrow. GFNS are not a bad side, they have some experience in SKYTTEN especially, and if schneider plays with them again, they have a lot of fragging power. Vexed are a decent Polish side, and at times can compete with almost anyone, and other times look really average. They go into this game the heavy favourites, and for me the real odds are around 65-35 in favour of the Poles. With this being a BO1, the chance for an upset is there, and with a team as inconsistent as Vexed, the best idea for you here is to go LOW on GFNS or SKIP if your bank roll is small.
My odds for this match: GFNS 35:65 Vexed

ARRI gave Alexa a sister today with the announcement of Amira, a new "documentary-style" shoulder-mounted camera built around the same sensor as the Alexa and designed for single-operator use. The camera shoots in 1080p HD and 2K at up to 200 fps, claims the same 14-stop dynamic range as the Alexa, and includes pre-loaded looks based on 3D LUTs for in-camera color grading.
The Amira records Rec. 709 or Log C images in camera to SanDisk's new CFast 2.0 flash memory cards (read on for more on those) using ProRes 422, 422 (LT), 422 (HQ), or 4444 codecs — but not ARRIRAW. That's an indicator that the Amira is built for utility and speed in both production and post — ARRI said it will boot quickly with no set-up tasks or other delays to slow it down in run-and-gun environments and stressed that the Amira has a rugged construction that will be an asset under punishing field conditions.
And ARRI seems to be making sure shooters have options for managing their color in camera, rather than relying on fiddling in post. In addition to the pre-loaded looks, DPs can load custom LUTs into the camera before the shoot, and 3D LUTs can even be modified during the shoot.
Also on board are motorized ND filters, zebra and false-color displays, and an advanced peaking function for aiding quick focusing. Both a flip-out LCD monitor and an OLED eyepiece are included.
Unfortunately, there was no word this morning on the two most important questions: when will it ship, and how much will it cost? But ARRI has indicated that it will be priced well below the Alexa. Stay tuned.
By the way, ARRI was a collaborator with SanDisk in the development of that new CFast 2.0 standard, which is being supported on the Alexa, as well, through a just-announced recording adapter for Alexa XT and XR cameras.
The cards, which have a pinless design to reduce the chances of damage on insertion or removal, will ship in 60 GB and 120 GB capacities, and support writing at up to 350 MB/sec — enough to record ProRes 4444 at up to 120 fps. ARRI said CFast 2.0 card recordings, like those on SxS Pro cards, are closed continuously, so if the card is accidentally ejected or power is lost during a recording, the file on the card is not corrupted.
ARRI's latest Alexa software update (v9.0) enables the higher-speed ProRes recording as well as a ProRes Pre-Recording option that keeps the camera recording in a continuously buffering mode so that nature cinematographers don't miss their shot. Also new is DNxHD 444 support for all DNxHD-licensed cameras, a "self-healing metadata" feature to repair a prematurely closed file an allow the media to be reused, and support for Cooke /i lens data in Alexa Classic cameras with a PL-LDS mount.

Chromotherapy is a method of treatment that uses the visible spectrum (colors) of electromagnetic light to cure diseases. It is a centuries-old concept used successfully over the years to cure various diseases and ailments. The color chart below explains the health benefits associated with each color.
Red is called "The Great Energizer." It loosens, releases stiffness and constrictions. It is excellent for areas that have become stiffened. It promotes cellular growth, stimulating the circulatory system. It is therefore indicated for all colds, sluggish or dormant conditions, such as pneumonia, arthritis, anemia, as a liver stimulant, an energy builder, and for increasing circulation. Red links with and stimulates the base of the spine, causing the adrenal glands to release adrenalin. This results in greater strength. Red causes hemoglobin to multiply, thus increasing energy raising body temperature conditions as it stimulates sensory nerves such as hearing, taste, smell, and activates metabolism. It is excellent for anemia or blood-related conditions.

text: As the nation hurtles toward the fiscal cliff, employers may further postpone major hiring decisions until there is more clarity on the country's economic future, according to workplace authority John A. Challenger, chief executive officer of global outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas, Inc. "Uncertainty alone is not the driving factor behind delayed hiring. Hiring is driven primarily by demand and, right now, demand is in fact being negatively impacted by uncertainty. Businesses are holding off on upgrading equipment and technology. Government spending has ground to a halt. Consumers are also holding off on big purchases; not because they are thinking about the looming fiscal cliff, but because they still cannot obtain the credit necessary to fund large purchases." Even if lawmakers reach a compromise and address the fiscal cliff, there remain several obstacles to economic recovery, including the ongoing financial crisis in Europe and an economic slowdown in Asia. What other factors are contributing to the slow pace of hiring? What has to change for employers to accelerate hiring? Which industries are most likely to see a hiring surge in 2013?

Vintage rattan furniture is available from online auction sites such as eBay and classified ad sites such as Craigslist. Antique furniture dealers and thrift stores may stock vintage rattan in various states of repair, and furniture restorers who specialize in rattan may also sell refinished pieces. Yard sales and weekend flea markets may be the source of a vintage rattan finds for educated buyers.Continue Reading
Familiarize yourself with rattan styles and characteristics before committing to a purchase. Designers such as Paul Frankl, who created the popular pretzel chair with its distinctive arms, are sought after. Sellers typically charge a premium for collectible pieces.
Unlike bamboo, rattan can be steamed, bent and shaped easily and dries to a hard, sturdy frame. Vintage pieces are likely to feature curved designs, which is one way to distinguish them from bamboo. Rattan is primarily sourced from the Philippines and other parts of Southeast Asia.
Check furniture advertised as "vintage wicker" to find early- to mid-20th-century rattan. Wicker is a weaving style, not a fiber. A wicker porch or garden set may have a frame made from strong rattan poles with seats, sides, shelves and tabletops woven from the more pliable inner pith of the plant.Learn more about Furniture

London Boulevard Trailer: Colin Farrell, Bodyguard to the Stars
He's protecting Keira Knightley.
London Boulevard has a lot of heavy-hitters, both in front of and behind the camera: It's the directorial debut of William Monahan, who won the Oscar for writing The Departed, and it stars Colin Farrell, Keira Knightley, and a deep roster of British acting talents that includes Ray Winstone, David Thewlis, Anna Friel, and Ben Chaplin. Still, as this trailer makes clear, all that is in service of another stylish "ex-con pulled in for one last job" tale, where the freshly sprung Farrell is drawn back into the criminal underworld despite his attempts to go straight for Knightley (and it's got to be a bummer for an actress like Knightley when there's a title card in your movie's trailer that literally just identifies you as "the Girl"). There's a wealth of snappy dialogue to spruce things up and it all looks very watchable, but critics across the pond weren't kind to the movie when it opened there last year; will Anglophile pundits in the States be more likely to give it a break?

One of the few positive notes Saturday night as the Washington Bullets (2-6) suffered their third straight loss, 102-90 to the Boston Celtics, was the offensive performance of Pervis Ellison, who contributed 12 points in 26 minutes.
That is a modest figure, but for Ellison, who had been tentative and ineffective offensively, it was a giant step forward.
Through the team's first seven games, the 6-foot-10, 225-pound forward, acquired from the Sacramento Kings in June for Jeff Malone, had averaged only 4.3 points and shot just 31 percent from the field. Defensively, he had been more of an asset, averaging 4.4 rebounds and 2.0 blocks while playing 18 minutes per game.

Maybe the last time, we don't know, but Mick Jagger's brother had an interesting Father's Day suggestion: Getting a vasectomy.
That's what younger brother Chris Jagger suggested for the Rolling Stones frontman during a new interview with the Daily Mail.
Jagger, 73, had his eighth child, and fourth son, during December with ballerina Melanie Hamrick. Speaking to promote his own upcoming show at the Glastonbury Festival in England, Chris Jagger said that it's time for his brother to get out of the fatherhood game, suggesting that "I think he's going to have the snip." But the younger Jagger added that "whatever you say about my brother, he's very good with kids. He's a really good father. All his kids love him."
Jagger has been the butt of many jokes since Deveraux's birth six months ago, with commentators pointing out that he has a great-granddaughter who, at three years old, is older than his youngest child.
Mick Jagger has not responded to his brother's vasectomy comment.
Gary Graff is an award-winning music journalist who not only covers music but has written books on Bob Seger, Neil Young and Bruce Springsteen.

First date no-no: bad breath
SUMMARY: A recent study found that the majority of women would opt out of a second date based on bad breath.
Posted: August 12, 2013
There are a few things that you need to be certain about when you are getting ready to go on a date: You are dressed to impress, you smell fresh and you don't have bad breath. A recent study shows that you might want to take more care of your mouth than the way you look. In fact, if you have smelly breath on a first date, there's a slim chance that you are going to have a second date.
Survey says...
The study, which was conducted by British E-cigarette company Neo, found that roughly 87 percent of women said they would not go on a second date with a man if he had bad breath on a first date. However, only 33 percent of men were harsh enough to nix the chance of a second date completely. While there are plenty of reasons you may experience smelly breath, there are only so many ways to get rid of bad breath at home and on the go. Don't find yourself losing out on the chance for a second date just because of your breath.
"From those asked it's clear that for the overwhelming majority of people, they can have the perfect first date with sparkling conversation and chemistry, but if he leans in for a goodnight kiss and they are met by a wall of bad breath it's unlikely there will be a second date," Estee Oren, director of Neo, said.
If you are worried about having fresh breath on your first date, consider these tips and tricks to ensure that you aren't scaring your possible soul mate away:
Bad breath is a sign of many things, including a large amount of anaerobic bacteria in the mouth, a more complex health issue, gum disease or tooth decay, or that you consumed some smelly food. The best way to find a solution is to find the root cause. If you maintain a healthy routine of brushing, flossing and rinsing, chances are you are experiencing bad breath because of what you are eating.
Before going on a first date, make sure that you are properly cleaning your mouth and getting rid of excess dental plaque. Brush for at least two minutes, then floss and rinse with an alcohol-free mouthwash. If you are nervous about having bad breath during a date, bring along a small container of mouthwash and some floss to freshen up.
What to eat
Certain foods, bread and sugary desserts wreak havoc on the mouth and promote the growth of anaerobic bacteria. These bacteria thrive on sugar, which is created during the breakdown of starchy foods. While you might think eating something sweet might fight your bad breath, it's likely doing the opposite. After your meal, opt for a dessert like dark chocolate-covered strawberries, which can actually combat your bad breath. The antioxidants in dark chocolate work against the bacteria while the strawberries' abrasive texture rids the mouth of food particles that have been left behind.
What to drink
A first date can be a bit nerve-racking which often means that glass of wine is going down easily. Although red wine has plenty of health benefits, it can also cause dry mouth, which in turn causes bad breath. Make sure that you are drinking plenty of water during your meal to get rid of dry mouth and wash down food particles that get stuck in the crevices of the mouth.
Having a drink with dessert? Swap coffee for green tea – your date will thank you. Green tea contains flavonoids and antioxidants that combat the bacteria that cause bad breath. Green tea is great for the entire body, especially the mouth, so it's a great after-dinner beverage for any first date.

Finding the Right Location
It starts with the rack. Either simplifying or complicating the process, the style of the rack dictates whether the watercraft loads from the front or the side of your vehicle. Products like the Rhino-Rack T-Loader load from the rear while the Thule Racks Hull-A-Port Kayak Carrier loads from the side of the car. Now, let's get loading:
- Start with a good spot
- Find a flat area to park your ride.
- Make sure this is a low traffic area so you can take your time
- Grassy areas protect the finish of your toys, if you have to slide them during loading

There's no doubt that outdoor entertaining can be one of the most satisfying things you can do with friends and family. Before you schedule your first BBQ this year, put some thought into a few things to make it stress-free and enjoyable for everyone. These tips will help you prepare to ensure a successful party with happy guests that can't wait for the next one.
These 4 "musts" will help you create the perfect, cosy backyard space, for a BBQ to remember.
1.Entertaining outdoor activities
Your guests will have a blast and will stick around longer if there is something for them to do. There are many games or activities you could have available, like backyard cricket. Be sure there are appropriate activities for different age groups so everyone will have fun!
2.Setting up your outdoor living area
Look at the seating and table space you have to offer your guests.
Sure, you could break out the folding chairs and the wobbly table, but wouldn't it be really nice to provide your guests with comfortable seating?
Why not offer something that's not only elegant, but also allows for hours of conversation in comfort, like one of our dining settings or sofas & lounge settings?
3.Eating is the highlight of any BBQ
Who doesn't show up at a barbie ready to eat?
Make sure your equipment is in good shape. If it is old and rusty, you might want something new.
If you decide to purchase new cooking gear, think about what you want from it.
Do you want just a grill? Or, you could cook over an open fire (or both).
Some grills also double as a fire pit that can be enjoyed well into the night, like the Luxo Parma.
4.Don't forget the beverages
Make sure you have plenty of drinks for everyone. If you want serve a refreshing adult beverage, the Strawberry Kir Royale is sure to be a hit!
125ml (1/2 cup) creme de cassis
2 x 750ml bottles of chilled sparkling wine
12 strawberries, washed and dried
Directions: Pour cassis evenly among serving glasses. Top with sparkling wine. Place one strawberry in each glass and serve immediately.

Creating a Startup and being a First Time CEO
I gave this talk at the Eastside Incubator in Washington state. The incubator is across the street from Microsoft and has a lot of Microsoft people looking into joining a startup.
The talk is also focused on big companies employees to learn startup techniques to bring back into their work in a big company.
The founder that turns into the CEO needs to grow their skills quickly. When they raise capital and have a board of directors, if they aren't at or ahead of where they need to be, they will be replaced.
This talk is for creating companies, being the CEO and growing the skills in that area. This specifically talks about the startup's first two years.

China's 4 major airlines post mixed profit results
Two of China's major airlines saw a drop in first-half net profits as they face slower economic growth which has cut domestic demand, as well as competition from high-speed rail.
China Southern Airlines' net profit fell 19 percent in the first six months to 344 million yuan (US$55.8 million), down from 424 million yuan a year ago.
The Guangzhou-based airline, which boasts the largest domestic market share of the three big state-owned carriers, also cited fierce competition from the expanding domestic high speed railways.
China Eastern Airlines, the country's second biggest carrier by passengers, saw its half-year net profit fall 23 percent on weaker domestic air travel demand.
The net profit of the Shanghai-based carrier was 763.30 million yuan, down from 995.1 million yuan in the same period last year. Revenue rose 2.7 percent to 41.48 billion yuan, according to its interim report.
However, Hainan Airlines, the nation's fourth-largest carrier, turned in robust profit. Its net profit in the first half soared 29.28 percent to 645 million yuan. Revenue gained 3.83 percent to 14.4 billion yuan.
The airline attributed the growth to an increase in its fleet to 120 planes from 109 and rising passenger traffic. It carried 12.46 million passengers, or up 13.38 percent, from January to June.
Air China, the country's flag carrier, saw first half earnings rise 7.3 percent to to 1.12 billion yuan, from the 944.5 million yuan net profit a year earlier.
The airline gained from a rapid expansion in its international network that now provides 40 percent of its revenue, it said. In the last three years, Air China has launched at least 18 international routes, lifting its overseas flights by over 20 percent.
With the domestic market weakened, China Eastern and China Southern are growing international routes, which generate 30 percent and 19 percent of their sales outside of China.
"Airlines had to cut domestic fares aggressively to compete for passengers," said Yu Nan, analyst with Haitong Securities in Shanghai. "Pricing on international routes has held up better than domestic routes.''

with Ginger Lime Cream
This is based on a Native American recipe from the book,
and it goes like this:
- 3 cups corn kernals (I use a bag of frozen)
- 2 diced garlic cloves
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 white pepper
- 3 cups chicken stock
- 3 cups cooked pumpkin (I use 2 cans)
- as much leftover turkey or chicken meat as you'd like
Heat on the stove top or put it all in a crockpot.
Ginger Lime Cream
- juice and zest of 2 limes
- 1 tbls grated ginger
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Heat the juice and ginger until boiling. Combine with cream and whip until stiff peaks form. My main workhorse in the kitchen is this:
I don't know how I'd cook anything without the stand mixer and the Cuisinart.
Spoon a dollop of cream into each bowl of soup, garnish with lime zest. Serve it quick before the cream melts!

WASHINGTON — The publishers of Consumer Reports, the nonprofit magazine that rates products, urged the Supreme Court on Monday to shield it from costly lawsuits by corporate critics.
The magazine is seeking to squelch a lawsuit by Suzuki Motor Corp., which alleges that the publication deliberately "rigged" a test to show that the Suzuki Samurai "rolls over too easily."
In May, by a 12-11 vote, the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals cleared the suit to go to trial before a jury in Santa Ana.
But on Monday, leaders of Consumers Union, citing the 1st Amendment's protection of freedom of speech and the press, petitioned the Supreme Court to review the 9th Circuit's decision. They contend that the suit should have been dismissed without a hearing.

This book concerns industry creation as knowledge creation. The authors argue that a new class of global, knowledge-driven manufacturing industries has emerged in which learning, continuity, and speed define competition. In these new industries, access to knowledge creation processes matters more than ownership of physical assets. Location matters only insofar as it confers learning advantages and market access. Companies need strategies that can mobilize their organizations' country-specific strengths and freely leverage them in open, global learning partnerships with allies, suppliers, and customers. Managing New Industry Creation distills principles that managers can use to seize leadership for their companies as these new industries emerge. The authors draw their insights from firsthand discussions with over 160 managers and scientists who helped found the high-information-content flat panel display (FPD) industry. In the early 1990s, large-format FPDs exploded into public knowledge as a critical enabling technology for notebook computers. In the future, FPDs will increasingly function as the face by which users interact with technology products. The book recounts the business decisions that propelled the industry from humble beginnings to empower a globally mobile workforce and eventually build wall-hanging, high definition televisions that every household can afford. The FPD industry was the first new manufacturing industry to fully emerge in a global economy defined more by trade in knowledge than in physical products. Although FPDs were commercialized in Japan, the joint efforts of an international community of companies made high-volume production of large displays viable. Companies from outside of Japanaincluding IBM, Applied Materials, and Corningaachieved key positions by challenging U.S.-centered preconceptions of innovation, new business creation, and management process, giving unprecedented global authority and responsibility to their Japanese affiliates. Their success established new rules for competing in the knowledge-driven, global manufacturing industries of the future, first described here for managers, RaD scientists, academics, and students of corporate strategy.Asada was a young engineer of about five yearsa#39; experience at Sharp when he was assigned to the LCD engineering ...

We spent October in Big Pine, California, a small town (around 2,000 people) near the Eastern Sierras. We chose it for its proximity to various fall color locations and Yosemite, where we camped for a few nights near the end of the month. It has been a long time since we visited Yosemite and it was great to go back. Kara took a watercolor class for two days while Stephen was up getting sunrise shots. On the second to last day, it rained quite a bit in Yosemite Valley. This turned out to be a major issue because our 3-4 hour drive back to Big Pine turned into an eight hour drive since Tioga and Sonora Passes were closed due to snow. It made for a very long day.
We also made a visit to Manzanar, the internment camp where the U.S. government held people of Japanese descent during World War II. Even though it was depressing, we love that they are now restoring and rebuilding parts of the camp to turn it into an educational opportunity.
At the end of October, Kara noticed something strange in her Stanford retirement account – a $385 matching contribution from Stanford, made in June. As a temp, she's no longer eligible for matching contributions, so the deposit was a puzzle. It was the only contribution so far this year. After a few phone calls, we found out that it was not a mistake as we suspected. Apparently, it was a matching contribution from last year that never made it into her account for some reason. While investigating the issue, Kara noticed that the Fidelity website showed an option to contribute money to her retirement account through a tax-deferred annuity (this is Stanford's non-matching retirement program). She didn't think she was able to contribute to it anymore as a temp, but another call to Stanford revealed that indeed she can. She quickly updated her contribution to 100% of her pay for the rest of the year. We wish we had discovered this sooner.
On Halloween, we drove to Joshua Tree and camped overnight before heading on to San Diego. We are staying in an AirBNB apartment near balboa park while we look for a long term lease.
We were back to a much more modest income for October, especially since we were camping for part of the month. As long as they continue to give Kara work, she'll probably keep doing it. She loves being able to work whatever hours she chooses and where she chooses! It doesn't hurt that she really likes the people she works with. She is enjoying it far more than she expected.
Kara's Stanford income $ 2,500 ($2,076 net after taxes)
Stanford matching contribution $385
Total: $2,885
We spent quite a bit on gas in October because we drove back from Toronto to California, then drove quite a bit around Mono and Inyo Counties and to Yosemite and back.

Imagine, snitching on some of your best customers, plus tips, for a lousy 50c a week job? There must have been a substantial reward for turning in prostitutes in those days to do something that stupid. Today he could have built up a promising career in Washington.

Can't say I agree with that part of the previous post. "Today's youth" may have problems, like everyone else, but no 15 year old boy should look that sad and exhausted with life.
On the other hand, I do agree that the faces are mesmerizing.
I have just been mezmerized by the faces of the children presented in the photos on this fantastic site. Every face tells a different story. These faces seem so different from those of kids today -- so much more hardship witnessed and parteken of.
We Americans have become so soft and live lives of such luxury compared with the average person even 60 years ago. Maybe a little more hardship would do us some good.

Alex Morgan and Sydney Leroux Have Topped Last Year's Halloween Costume (Pics + Video)
Last year, U.S. women's soccer players Alex Morgan and Sydney Leroux dressed up as fellow Olympic gold medalists McKayla Maroney and Gabby Douglas. Then they posted the picture on Twitter, and the internet went bonkers, because apparently some people find Morgan and Leroux pretty attractive or something.
Anyway, with all the attention their tandem costume got last year, you kind of figured the two would team up again this year and try to top it. And they did. This time they didn't go as fellow Olympians, though. They went as Miley Cyrus and Robin Thicke.
How did they decide who was who? Well, since Leroux and Thicke are both half Canadian, it was pretty easy.
Take a look at the pics they posted on Twitter:
And here's a video Leroux posted on Vine:
Congratulations, ladies. You've captured our hearts once again.
See you next year.

Energy giant Npower has been blasted for "incorrect and misleading" figures in a report on rising energy prices.
In the supplier's second 'Energy Explained' report Npower chief executive Paul Massara said the actual unit prices of gas and electricity in the UK are among the lowest in Europe, but bills are high because the country's "old and draughty" houses waste so much energy.
He warned that the cost of upgrading the nation's energy infrastructure is set to increase bills unless households can take action through efficiency measures. The report claims that at least 16 different policy and regulatory costs will have a direct impact on energy bills by 2020.
The report also claims that network charges will rise from £295 per customer to £314 between 2015 and 2020, but regulator Ofgem disputed this saying that it sets the network charges and they are due to remain flat over that time.
The firm later corrected the figures to reflect a rise £15 lower than previously calculated, but an Ofgem spokesman said: "We welcome Npower's effort to inform the energy debate, however their data on network costs is incorrect and misleading. We offered to help Npower improve the accuracy of their numbers for network charges and it is disappointing that they did not engage fully with us until after the document had been circulated.
"Ofgem directly regulates the money that network companies can earn through charges. Given this level of certainty we can see that after 2014 network costs per household are expected to remain broadly flat in real terms. It is unclear how Npower can state with any authority otherwise."
Npower announced a 10 per cent average bill increase in the latest round of price rises late last year, affecting about 3.1 million customers, but has said that it will reduce bills as a result of a shake-up of government green levies.
But in the report Massara claimed prices were not just down to the "big six" firms and that more than 140 companies were involved in the industry in the UK including more than 80 that trade energy products on the markets.
"Suppliers control less than 20 per cent of a bill and I want to shine a light on all the different aspects of energy, particularly to reassure my customers that there is no hidden profit," he said.
He claimed the business made only a 3.2 per cent profit in their retail business in the first nine months of 2013, while their power stations made a loss of £59m.
In its first report last year, Npower predicted average household bills would rise by £240 to £1,487 by 2020, primarily because of "unprecedented investment in new infrastructure and the cost of improving energy efficiency in people's homes".
A Department of Energy and Climate Change spokeswoman said: "Npower's analysis is incorrect on so many levels. Government estimates that the impact of our social and environmental programmes will in fact lower energy bills compared to what they would be in the absence of our policies, by as much as £166 in 2020.
"A number of the policies listed by Npower don't have any impact on household energy bills, including the Renewable Heat Incentive, Climate Change Levy and the Carbon Reduction Commitment."

Mortgage Insurance; Tax Deductible, but worth it?
Tax-deductible, but worth it? New light on mortgage insurance (excerpts from full article)
Deductibility of premiums for mortgage insurance is a new wrinkle of the federal tax code, but the provision is catching on very slowly.
The belief of many brokers is that there are better alternatives to mortgage insurance, for people with small downpayments; and the limitations of the law. Still, the law could help buyers.
"For the first time ever, there is the possibility that (mortgage insurance) is a great idea," said Brad Stroh, co-chief executive officer and founder of Bills.com, a personal finance Internet portal based in San Mateo, Calif. "You could end up saving a great deal of money."
The provision, passed at the end of December, allows people with household incomes of $100,000 or less to deduct mortgage insurance premiums on their federal income taxes in 2007.
Mortgage insurance is often required for deals in which a buyer puts down less than 20 percent toward the price of a house. It covers the risk to the lender should the borrower be unable to keep up payments, and usually must be maintained until the borrower has at least 20 percent equity in the property. Premiums vary, with credit scores, the amount of downpayment and the type of property among the variables.
In recent years, many buyers with less than 20 percent have avoided the cost of insurance by taking out a first mortgage for 80 percent of the value and a second mortgage to raise money toward the downpayment. As the interest paid on that second loan is deductible, and as part of its monthly payment goes into the equity of the home, many brokers have recommended such loans as better than buying mortgage insurance. Milwaukee's MGIC Investment Corp. pushed to have the insurance premiums become deductible as a way of fighting that strategy.
In less-affluent neighborhoods, lack of knowledge about the deductibility, or the fact that most people do not itemize deductions, has slowed acceptance.
The percentage of mortgages with insurance is expected to increase this year, but it will be difficult to tell how much is because of the new law. Higher interest rates and more selective lenders also will contribute.
The limited term of the law also works against it. Congress will have to extend it for the premiums to remain deductible after 2007.
If the law is extended and people can deduct mortgage insurance premiums for five years and then cancel the insurance when they have paid down enough of their mortgage to have 20 percent equity in their home, then the attractiveness of mortgage insurance rises. If the home gains value, too, then the 20 percent equity will be reached even sooner, and insurance can be canceled in fewer years. That can make paying for it cheaper than paying a high-interest rate for a second mortgage.
The best thing to do is to take a sharp pencil to the matter, and figure costs for several years with and without insurance, said Michael Holloway, a buyer's broker and owner of Homebuyer Associates, Milwaukee.
"The smart people will simply do the math, and the math will answer the question," he said.

A former Navy SEAL heroically gave his life trying to protect Ambassador Christopher Stevens and other Americans during the deadly attack on the US consulate in Benghazi.
Glen Doherty, 42 — a pilot, expert skier and triathlete who became at SEAL at age 26 — was working as a private security operative when armed Islamist thugs stormed the facility Tuesday night, his brother Greg Doherty told The Post.
"He's a hero," said Greg Doherty, 43, of Kensington, Calif.
"That's what he did for a living. He was real down to earth, but he was fearless in everything he did.
"He was a person who would defend his friends, anyone who needed it. That's why he did this job. He was good at it.
"He thought it was better him doing this than anyone else."
Doherty's sister, Kate Quigley, 39, of Marblehead, Mass., said it was no surprise her brother made the ultimate sacrifice.
"I am very proud of him. In my heart and mind, I know he died protecting people, just like he always did. He really is a hero," Quigley said.
Greg Doherty said he and his siblings were raised to be athletic and tough by their dad, Ben Doherty, 76, a former amateur boxing champ and Massachusetts boxing commissioner in the '90s.
Their mom, Barbara, 78, added lessons in kindness.
"Glen was a balance of that hardworking toughness and kindness," Greg said.
The motorcycle-riding Doherty wrestled in high school, graduated from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and lived it up as a "ski bum" in Utah and a "beach bum" in San Diego, his brother said.
He turned himself into a triathlete, and in 1995 enlisted in the Navy, hoping to join the elite SEALs.
The Encinitas, Calif., resident co-wrote a 2010 book, "Navy SEAL Sniper: An Intimate Look at the Sniper of the 21st Century," and had completed dozens of missions in the Middle East as a sniper and paramedic.
After leaving the Navy in 2006, he worked as a private security contractor for the United States, handling secret missions in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya and Mexico.
The brothers last spoke about two weeks ago.
"We told each other, 'I love you,' And those were his last words to me: 'I love you,' " Greg Doherty said.
