PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) - A Philadelphia couple was charged on Wednesday in the death of their infant son, the second of their children who prosecutors say died after his parents prayed over him instead of seeking medical attention.
Herbert and Catherine Schaible, who belong to a church that authorities say believes in faith healing, could face up to 40 years in prison each if convicted on the third-degree murder charges filed against them by the Philadelphia District Attorney's office.
Their 7-month-old son Brandon died on April 18 after becoming ill with bacterial pneumonia, dehydration and strep, District Attorney R. Seth Williams said at a news conference.
In 2009, another Schaible child, Kent, age 2, also died of bacterial pneumonia, he said.
Authorities said the parents refused to get medical treatment for Kent and were sentenced to 10 years probation.
Prosecutors said they will seek to have the probation revoked. Williams said a condition of the probation was that the parents must seek medical attention if any of their children became ill.
The couple has seven other children, all of them older, who were placed in foster care following Brandon's death, authorities said.
"The death of 7-month-old Brandon Schaible is a tragedy," Williams said. "Sadly there is only one reason for it -- the criminal actions of the parents.
"Instead of caring for and nurturing him, they ultimately caused his death by praying over his body instead of taking him to the doctor," Williams said.
The Schaibles are members of the First Century Gospel Church in North Philadelphia, prosecutors said.
Neither the church nor defense attorneys for the Schaibles could be reached for comment.
In addition to third-degree murder, the parents were charged with involuntary manslaughter, conspiracy and endangering the welfare of a child.

This post is a little depressing for me to write (as it may be for you to read), but it needs to be made...
After nearly a year of informative and insightful posts, the DevBerry blog has bid the blogosphere a final farewell. For those not familiar with the site, the no-nonsense articles posted by developer/author Neil Sainsbury have cut to the core of the BlackBerry development environment and what it's like to be a small BlackBerry ISV (Independent Software Vendor). Neil's reason for originally starting the DevBerry blog is listed on the site as follows:
Analysts have been reporting for the last couple of years that BlackBerry software is on the rise. Every year has seen some fantastic growth in the number of third-party apps becoming available. Despite this, the BlackBerry software ecosystem doesn't appear to have changed much at all. Unlike Windows Mobile which has a thriving developer community (web sites, magazines, blogs, podcasts) the BlackBerry ecosystem is sparse, and in my opinion, unhealthy. I would love for this blog to stimulate the development community and generate more interest in this field.
Now check out Neil's reasons for calling it quits...
...I've decided to stop for a couple of reasons...
First, I'm not so sure after all this time that it has actually made a difference. I would like to think that it has, but all evidence would seem to point otherwise. It has certainly drawn a lot of attention - attention I'm sure RIM did not want - to what it's really like as a small BlackBerry ISV. However after a year of making fun of the same trivial problems that could be fixed in five minutes they're still here, as discussed in my previous post. I'm sorry, but I just don't hear the drumbeat of progress and even when I do I'm not in a position (legally) to talk about it which is frustrating. Truthfully, I do at times hear a faint drumbeat, but it's drowned out by the loud and pounding "rat-tat-tat-tat-tat" made by everybody else (Google, Apple, etc.).
Second, I'm actually a pretty cheery "cock-eyed optimist" (to quote Kramer from Seinfeld) in Real Life, and this blog doesn't reflect that. It's been more of a venting ground and I've decided to get a punching bag instead! Seriously though, writing about BlackBerry dev. stuff is a bit of a mood-kill; which is why I'm guessing pretty much nobody does it (though, I definitely do refer you Jonathan Fisher's blog and Slashdev which are both great).
Finally, there's lots of exciting stuff going on in the mobile development world. Things like Google Android, the iPhone SDK, and Nokia opening up Symbian, have got me brimming with ideas and positivity about the future of this industry. So, I'm going to take a little bit of time off blogging and then start a new one sometime down the track about mobile development in general. I think that way I can go back to being my regular optimistic self and not feel like a war-time reporter.
For a BlackBerry fanatic like myself the above is definitely hard to read. I want to see the BlackBerry software community thrive! But the reality I have often observed, from discussions with literally dozens of BB application developers over the past year and a half when it comes to BB app development is as follows: it can be frustrating; it can be rewarding; and it can also be extremely frustrating.
RIM grew its business over the past decade by focusing on Enterprise, Security, and developing the BlackBerry into the most kick-butt communication tool the world has ever seen. Embracing the 3rd party software aftermarket was not a requirement for RIM's success in enterprise, nor a priority. But as RIM shifts its sights to the consumer market, it is going to be the BlackBerry ISVs that unlock the potential of the BlackBerry hardware and OS and allow RIM to not only compete in the smartphone market, but dominate it for years to come.
RIM knows this of course, and they ARE beginning to do things about it. They recently announced the first annual BlackBerry Developer Conference and they recently announced the start of a $150 Million BlackBerry Partners fund. The thing I don't get is why is this all so recent. It's only now, after nearly a decade of BlackBerrying, that the first-annual developers conference is being held? Shouldn't this have taken place like...uh.. a decade ago?
In reading the final DevBerry post I get the sense that the developer of three best-selling BB apps is going to be looking at developing for other mobile platforms due to ongoing frustrations in the BB dev world. Push come to shove, RIM needs to be doing the things RIGHT NOW to not only retain the best BB developers we have, but attract new ones.
This isn't a rant against RIM... they know what they're doing and I personally don't see the BlackBerry growth curve slowing anytime soon. But I don't want to see the growth slow down ever, and that means a healthy developer community is a MUST. Make it happen RIM!

Appearing on the Toucher & Rich radio show on 98.5 The Sports Hub, Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli offered an update on injured center Marc Savard.
While explaining that he allowed Savard to leave early to return to his Ontario home for the All-Star break, the GM said "he's feeling better."
Chiarelli then tackled the topic of filling in for Savard while the veteran is out with his second concussion in 10 months. Chiarelli mentioned playing Tyler Seguin at center (where he played Monday) or moving Gregory Campbell up the depth chart if necessary.
For the short term, there could also be a call-up from the Providence (AHL) farm club. When asked specifically about Joe Colborne and Zach Hamill, Chiarelli said: "Hamill is more ready than Joe."
Chiarelli admitted that if Savard's absence is more of the long-term variety "we'll have to look for a more established NHL player." The trade deadline is Feb. 28.

Elderly woman taken to hospital with burns from fire in Old Lyme
Old Lyme — An elderly resident who sustained burns during a house fire on Lyme Street Saturday evening was taken to a hospital by Life Star helicopter, according to Old Lyme Fire Department spokesman Johny Cody.
The fire was first reported at around 8:25 p.m. at 7 Lyme St., a two-story condominium complex that is part of an association that includes Boxwood Apartments on the same street. The victim, who others at the scene identified as a woman in her mid-90s, lives alone in a first-floor unit, Cody said.
Other residents were attempting to help the woman when firefighters arrived at the scene, he said.
"It's a stubborn fire," Cody said.
At about 10 p.m., firefighters broke a window at the front of the structure to give firefighters an extra egress area. At one point earlier, firefighters had been ordered out of the building as officials worried about flare-ups.
"I saw flashing lights and got up to look," said Donna Spicer, a resident of the Boxwood Apartments. "That's when we saw the flames."
Cody said it took about 15 to 20 minutes to put out the flames.
The victim was transported to a landing area at nearby Lyme-Old Lyme High School, where Life Star picked her up. The name of the victim was not released.
The house has four one-bedroom condominium units, though only three are occupied, according to Cody. He didn't know how many other people were in the building at the time of the fire but said everyone else got out without injuries.
One resident, who asked not to be identified, said at the scene that she had been unaware of the fire until firefighters arrived on the scene and told her to get out.
Cody said only two of the four units were affected by the fire. Both of the units were in the back of the building, where a gaping hole in the roof created by firefighters was still releasing smoke late into the night.
The Old Lyme, Essex, East Lyme, Old Saybrook, Westbrook and Deep River fire departments responded to the blaze. No firefighters were injured.

Elmer Jacobsen, 88 - July 30, 2008
Elmer Christian Jacobsen, 88, of Marquette died Saturday, July 26, 2008, at Bryan/LGH West Medical Center in Lincoln.
Services were held on Tuesday, July 29, at St. John's Lutheran Church in Kronborg with the Rev. Dan Cosson officiating. Interment was held at St. John's Lutheran Cemetery.
Jacobsen was born Aug. 19, 1919, to Christian Theodore and Alma Nikkolena (Andersen) Jacobsen on a family homestead near Marquette in the house he lived in all his life.
He attended country schools and also the Dane school at Kronborg before graduating from Marquette High School in 1938. His first language was Danish. As a teenager in the 1930's, he spent a summer putting up hay at Elk Mountain, WY, and in the winter picking corn by hand at Elkhorn and Kimbleton, IA.
In December of 1941, he enlisted in the military and became an X-ray technician in the Army Air Corps. He spent four years on many islands in the South Pacific during World War II. When the war ended, he returned home to his Kronborg community.
?Jacobsen had also attended winter school at Grand View College in Des Moines, IA, then returned to begin farming with his brother, Arthur.
On June 24, 1951, he was united in marriage to Joy (Chris and Esther) Rasmussen of Denmark, KS. He remained active in farming, raising and feeding cattle his entire life, hardly slowing down in his latter years, according to family members.
?He continually served his community in many capacities including his church at Kronborg, the school board, coop board, foundation committees and projects. His faith and service to God was important to him and he was active in his church at Kronborg, prison ministries, Via De Cristo and the Walk to Emmaus, said family members.
Jacobsen was preceded in death by his parents, Christian and Alma.
Survivors include: his wife, Joy of Marquette; four sons—Jeffrey (Coral Lea) of Marquette, Luke (Lori) of Marquette, Noel (Joni) of Gothenburg, and Mark (Diana) of Lincoln; six grandsons and six granddaughters; two step-grandsons; three great-grandsons and three great-granddaughters and awaiting another.
In lieu of flowers, memorials are suggested to Prison Ministries, Via De Cristo, World Hunger, Disaster Relief or donor's choice.
Online condolences may be shared with the family through the mortuary website at www.higbymortuary.com.

Beauty and the Beast
It is a dead place — boned with black, sentinel tree trunks, veined with unspeakably polluted water, laid bare under a paste-white sky. There is no sense of space or time, only pure, absolute quiet.
It is one of my favorite images — Uranium Tailings No. 12, taken at Ontario's Elliot Lake in 1995, part of photographer Edward Burtynsky's troubling series documenting the ravages of mining. The most disturbing part of the work is the beauty apparent in all that ugliness: the molten orange of water tainted by nickel tailings, the taupe and gray shades of soil — smooth and tender-looking as skin — swept clean of living mess.
It's an aesthetic paradox evoked by many industrial castoffs on wide-open land. The kelly-green pool of copper laced water that lingers at the bottom of the Santa Rita Pit near Silver City, N.M. The startling colors in the salt ponds on the edge of Utah's Great Salt Lake. The elaborate whorls of road that lace Wyoming's gas patches. I thought of this seeming contradiction as I stood on the viewing deck overlooking the deep-blue water that now fills the notorious Berkeley Pit, a defunct copper strip mine on the edge of Butte, Mont.
The billions of gallons cradled here are highly acidic and thick with heavy metal pollution. In 1995, this toxic soup killed 342 migrating snow geese that took shelter upon it during a storm. Should the water top a certain level, it could begin spilling its poison into local groundwater and ultimately the Clark Fork River. That possibility has caused enough alarm that the mining companies responsible have installed a treatment plant to divert some of the inflowing water and clean it up. And yet, throughout all of this, the Berkeley Pit has managed to nourish a weird ecosystem all its own.
As Jason Zasky reported in November for the intriguingly titled Failure Magazine, it is "a rich source of unusual extremophilic microorganisms … fungi, algae, protozoans and bacteria, many of which have shown great promise as producers of potential anti-cancer agents and antiinflammatories."
The dead geese even added their own germ to the mix. It's an unusually hardy yeast — typically found only in the rectum of a goose — that can pull a lot of the heavy metals right out of the water. That means it could eventually be used to aid in toxic waste cleanup or secondary ore recovery (essentially, re-mining). "We are very grateful to the snow geese," bioprospector and researcher Andrea Stierle told Zasky.
Such resilience is not limited to the microbial world. A dreadlocked stray dog named "The Auditor" managed to eke out a solitary living on the Berkeley Pit Superfund Site from the late '80s to the early aughts, occasionally scrounging handouts from miners. Even the surrounding communities have managed to squeeze positive and lively things out of the dreadful situation — from creating and performing a Cool Water Hula to raise awareness about Butte's pollution in a humorous and accessible way, to constructing a new economy around the money coming in to heal this blasted ground.
This may be why places like the Berkeley Pit are magnetic. These landscapes aren't really dead; they are in dramatic flux, the kind that not only destroys life, but also shapes it and creates it anew.
On Earth, at least, no death is absolute, not yet. No place can be wiped clean of all life, or of hope. Continents rearrange. Oceans become deserts. Species come and go through the broad sweep of geologic time. But matter is conserved — some atoms that once formed the living scaffold of one thing go into building another in the weird, biological alchemy that has brought us, ultimately, from single-celled organisms to complex beings.
This in no way justifies the human destruction of our natural environment. I offer my observations to seed the hope that, despite our greatest excesses, we will never be powerful enough to break the world. It is, however, and always will be, powerful enough to break us.

Hosting a Twitter chat is an amazing way to interact with your fans and followers, to better understand and grow your community quickly, as well as promote your brand and business.
I've seen the networking and promotional power of the Twitter chat, so I made up my mind to dig deeper.
It's challenging to describe everything I learned in this one article, but I'll do my best.
Here's the all-in-one guide to prepare for and host your Twitter chat.
Why Twitter Chat?
A Twitter chat is a public Twitter conversation around one unique hashtag. This hashtag allows you to follow the discussion and participate in it. Twitter chats are usually recurring and on specific topics to regularly connect people with these interests.

Stocks fell on Monday as investors cashed in recent gains that lifted the S&P 500 to a five-year high and awaited the start of the fourth-quarter earnings season.
The day's decline was broad across all sectors, but energy and utilities were the top decliners. The S&P 500 energy sector index fell 1 percent and the utilities sector was off 1.2 percent.

Another sector in focus was the financials. Financial stocks fell after a group of major U.S. banks agreed to pay billions in settlement with U.S. regulators.
The KBW bank index , a gauge of U.S. bank stocks, was down 0.7 percent.
Earnings are expected to be only slightly better than the third-quarter's lackluster results, and analysts' current estimates are down sharply from where they were in October.
"There is little doubt that concerns about the fiscal cliff created spending hesitancy in both consumers and businesses in the fourth quarter, and it is likely that will adversely impact earnings season," margins are choppy and cost cuts have run their course, said Randy Frederick, managing director of active trading and derivatives at Charles Schwab.
Aluminum company Alcoa Inc will unofficially launch the reporting season by announcing its results after Tuesday's market close. Alcoa shares were down 1 percent at $9.17.
The Dow Jones industrial average was down 76.03 points, or 0.57 percent, at 13,359.18. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index was down 8.40 points, or 0.57 percent, at 1,458.07. The Nasdaq Composite Index was down 11.89 points, or 0.38 percent, at 3,089.77.
The day's decline came a session after the S&P 500 finished at a five-year high and investors booked profits on stocks' best weekly gain in more than a year, boosted by a budget deal and economic data. The S&P 500 rose 4.6 percent last week.
Ten mortgage servicers - including Bank of America , Citigroup , JPMorgan , and Wells Fargo - agreed on Monday to pay $8.5 billion to end a case-by-case review of foreclosures required by U.S. regulators.
Bank of America also announced roughly $11.6 billion of settlements with mortgage finance company Fannie Mae and a $1.8 billion sale of collection rights on home loans.
The bank also entered into agreements with Nationstar Mortgage Holdings and Walter Investment Management to sell about $306 billion of residential mortgage servicing rights.
"The settlements may remove any overhang for the stock in the near term, but it only partially satisfies the issue," said Tim Ghriskey, chief investment officer of Solaris Asset Management.
Bank of America shares were down 0.7 percent at $12.02 while Nationstar Mortgage Holdings jumped 12.7 percent to $37.44.
Citigroup shares were down 0.5 percent to $42.20. Wells Fargo shares fell 1.1 percent to $34.55.
Walt Disney Co started an internal cost-cutting review several weeks ago that may include layoffs at its studio and other units, three people with knowledge of the effort told Reuters. Disney shares fell 2.4 percent to $50.95.
Video-streaming service Netflix Inc shares gained 2.3 percent to $98.20 after it said it will carry previous seasons of some popular shows produced by Time Warner's Warner Bros Television.
Amazon.com shares hit their highest price ever at $269.22 after Morgan Stanley raised is rating on the stock. Shares were up 2.8 percent at $266.63.
Major U.S. technology companies could miss estimates for fourth-quarter earnings as budget worries likely led some corporate clients to tighten their belts last month.

CLEVELAND (AP) — An Ohio man convicted along with his girlfriend of enslaving a mentally disabled woman for two years through intimidation, threats and abuse was sentenced Tuesday to 30 years in federal prison.
The man, Jordie Callahan, 28, and his girlfriend were convicted in March of forced labor, conspiracy to defraud the U.S. and conspiracy to illegally obtain prescription drugs.
The couple were accused of forcing the woman to shop, cook and clean up after their pit bulls and of using the dogs and a python to threaten the woman. They also threatened to harm her young daughter if the woman didn't obey.
The woman and her child were forced to live for a time in a dark, damp basement without a bathroom and the woman was forced to commit sex acts, prosecutors said. Later, the woman lived in a bedroom that was padlocked from the outside.
The couple held the woman from early 2011 to late 2012 in their home in Ashland, about 70 miles southwest of Cleveland, prosecutors said. She escaped the home by getting arrested for shoplifting a candy bar and telling police she wanted to go to jail because people had been mean to her.
The woman had suffered a traumatic brain injury in a car accident, and prosecutors said Hunt and Callahan brought her and her daughter to live in their home knowing she collected public assistance.
Callahan forced the woman to have sex with him, according to trial testimony, and both he and Hunt threatened to kill her if she told anyone.
The couple also injured the woman on several occasions to force her to go to the emergency room for treatment and took from her painkillers prescribed by doctors, trial testimony and court documents showed.
Federal prosecutors had urged Judge Benita Pearson to sentence Callahan to life in prison. His girlfriend, 33-year-old Jessica Hunt, is scheduled to be sentenced in Youngstown on Thursday.
"Mr. Callahan, through his cruelty, sought to deprive the victims in this case of their dignity and freedom," said Steven Dettelbach, U.S. attorney for northern Ohio, in a statement. "He failed in the former and the victim's strength ended up trumping his."
Attorneys for Callahan and Hunt argued at trial that authorities had sensationalized the woman's living conditions and said she was always free to come and go. In an argument for a new trial, the attorneys said the woman frequently visited a convenience store, attended appointments with social service agencies and even had home visits with social workers at Callahan and Hunt's home in Ashland.
Two other people were indicted in the case for helping the couple enslave the woman. Dezerah McGuire, 33, formerly Dezerah Silsby, agreed to testify against the couple as part of a plea agreement and was sentenced to 45 months in prison in April. Her boyfriend, Daniel Brown, 35, also agreed to testify and received a five-year sentence in March.

HALIFAX, Nova Scotia (AP) — Family and friends of a Canadian teen who hanged herself after she was allegedly raped and bullied for months were urged at her funeral Saturday to celebrate her life and use her story to draw attention to the circumstances that contributed to her death.
More than 100 people filled St. Mark's Anglican Church to pay their last respects to 17-year-old Rehtaeh Parsons, whose family said she was photographed while being sexually assaulted in 2011 by four boys and bullied after the photo went viral online.
The teen's death on Sunday has been compared with two other episodes recently in the news — the death of a 15-year-old California girl who took her own life after she was allegedly sexually abused and an explicit photo of the assault circulated online among her classmates, and a case in Ohio in which two high school football players were convicted of raping a drunken 16-year-old girl, an incident recorded on cellphones and gossiped about online.
Police had concluded there were no grounds to charge anyone in the Canadian teen's case after an initial yearlong investigation — a finding that raised a public outcry after Parsons' family shared her story online. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Halifax said Friday that it would reopen the investigation after receiving new information about the case from a source who is willing to work with them.
Rev. John Morrell noted in his eulogy that social media contributed to Rehtaeh's depression and death, but said it also allowed her family to share her tragic story around the world.
"It is a time of celebration and thanksgiving of her short life amongst us," said Morrell. "However, given the worldwide attention to the events leading up to this tragedy, it is appropriate to focus on what happens tomorrow, and the day after, and weeks and years to come.
"How can our society provide a safe haven for young girls? Why do young men feel that young girls are but objects for their sexual fantasies and pleasure? Why do teenagers avoid seeking help when they are depressed and suicidal?"
The sound of church bells echoed through the busy street in Halifax, Nova Scotia, over the sound of a bagpiper as a mix of mourners from teenagers to politicians filed into the church.
After the service, Angella Parsons, Rehtaeh's cousin, said that since her death, the support from the community has been overwhelming, calling it "a true testament to the beauty of humanity."
"We are eternally grateful for the large gathering of friends and strangers that Rae's story has touched," said Parsons, clutching a small stuffed dog with its tag inscribed "Rehtaeh." ''The family has been recipients of random acts of kindness from people who we don't even know."
Parsons said some of Rehtaeh's close friends held a private vigil in front of their home in the suburb of Cole Harbour on Friday. The night before, about 300 people gathered in a downtown Halifax park to pay tribute.
Nova Scotia Premier Darrell Dexter said after the funeral Saturday that he attended the service as a father and noted the tremendous outpouring of support for Rehtaeh's family.
Morrell said Parsons should be remembered for her loving and caring nature.
"Rehtaeh was a lovely young woman on the threshold of adulthood and maturity," Morrell said. "The most important part of our service this morning is to remember Rehtaeh in her early life, to celebrate the love and service she showed to others, and to commend her soul."
In Canada, the issue of bullying was propelled into the public spotlight last fall after the suicide of British Columbia teen Amanda Todd, whose heart-wrenching video about bullying and cyber-stalking was seen worldwide.

Age: 63
Last held public office: Governor of Massachusetts, 2003-07
Of all the prospective Republican presidential candidates, Mitt Romney is the only one who could play himself in a movie. With a chiseled chin and a flawless coiffure, the son of a governor just looks the part. His wife, five sons and 14 grandchildren are equally photogenic. Stints at private-equity firm Bain Capital and atop the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympic Games Organizing Committee have endeared Romney to business-friendly conservatives who favor his entrepreneurial approach, and as the former governor of a blue state, Romney has a desirable attribute: the ability to beat Democrats in competitive elections.
The knock on Romney is that he's transparently expedient. In the run-up to 2008, he tacked hard right on a number of issues, but not all Republicans were buying it. Explaining his record has only become more difficult. In 2006, then Governor Romney had the political misfortune of enacting bipartisan health care legislation in Massachusetts that included a requirement for most Bay Staters to purchase health insurance. Why misfortune? The plan he put in place became the model for President Obama's national health care overhaul. Challenging that law be it on the Hill, in the courts or otherwise has become a rallying cause of the conservative movement in the year since its passage and has forced Romney, who argues that health reform should be enacted only on the state level, into an awkward position with his base. He also struggles with some social conservatives because of his Mormon faith and unsteady footing on abortion.
At the moment, Romney is unquestionably the front runner in a poorly defined field. He enjoys better name recognition nationwide than all the other prospective candidates, with the exception of Sarah Palin. His political network and fundraising operation are unmatched. And he's spent the two years since his last stab at the presidency peppering the landscape with careful endorsements, op-eds knocking Obama and book-publicity stops.
Representative quote: "Conservatism has had from its inception vigorously positive, intellectually rigorous agenda and thinking. That agenda should have in it my three pillars: strengthen the economy, strengthen our security, and strengthen our families."

Tasty Low-Calorie Snacks
There's no point in stocking the refrigerator full of low calorie snacks - if you don't like the snacks. The 200-calorie candy bar or 100-calorie cube of cheese next to the 10-calorie carrot stick suddenly looks very tempting - if you don't like carrots. Instead find low calorie snacks that satisfy your taste buds and diet plan. Choose exotic fruit or rice cakes with different flavors as tasty low calorie options. Or prepare your own juice bars with sugar-free drinks and calorie free water.

text: How Siemens uses Tumblr for branding, recruitment By Christopher Hosford. Published on August 06, 2013. When engineering and electronics conglomerate Siemens wanted to spread the word about its Siemens Graduate Program—a two-year training and development program for tomorrow's top engineers and tech managers—the company launched a social media campaign to engage potential recruits in an online debate about a number of global issues. Dubbed The Managers Call, the program uses social blogging site Tumblr as well as other channels to spark a conversation about issues that impact Siemens markets and clients. It's a subtle way to engage recruits while positioning Siemens as a positive place to work, said Julia Jank, head-global Siemens Graduate Program. "The Siemens Graduate Program is a strategic instrument for our talent pipeline," Jank said. "We want to improve Siemens' attractiveness for high-potential employees, winning diverse, intercultural, sensitive and mobile management talent," she said. The program also complements Siemens branding and loyalty objectives, Jank said. The campaign, running through September, uses Tumblr to create global debates on topics such as the future of work, the workforce, business and career insights. Participants from around the world upload blog posts and discuss topics. The campaign includes a gamification element, with participants accumulating points for commenting and the number of "likes" received on its Facebook page. In addition to the Tumblr element and Facebook page, the campaign includes display ads and a direct outreach to universities. The budget is small, running just into four figures, said Thomas Hirschmann, account director at We Are Social Deutschland, Munich, which developed and manages the program. "We already had a kind of community built up on Facebook, and thought about what the next logical thing would be," Hirschmann said. "We analysed social Web behavior of our target groups and found that the younger target group is moving away from Facebook. If you look at Tumblr, the numbers are interesting, growing over the past year. And that's especially true for the younger generation." "Our logical link was to create a challenge around discussing Siemens subjects and stream the Tumblr-based discussions into Facebook," he said. "Once you log into Facebook, you can participate in the challenge by discussing the topics raised on Tumblr." Participants' Tumblr posts so far have included such topics as New Values in Arab Culture, Collaboration of Generations in Europe and Work/Life Balance in the Americas. Medals are awarded each Sunday to the previous week's top participants. At the end of the campaign, those with the most points and medals will have a chance to win a place at an exclusive Q&A session with a Siemens manager and a personal career-coaching session. "There is a strong recruiting aspect of the program, but it's done in a unique say," Hirschmann said. "It doesn't say, "Look at us. we're the best; work for us.' It's a more subtle way of presenting elements you'd be working in if you're interested in Siemens." Although the program has two months remaining, it has achieved significant awareness with a total of 200 participants, prompting its rollout to 12 countries, the company said. Jank said the program has more than 9,000 Facebook fans, and is helping potential candidates as well as Siemens employees relate better to the company. Most Popular In this article: BtoB

CM304, Reviewed October 1993
To publicize an event like a field day or a meeting, first consider who you want to attend. If the potential audience is small, talk to each member personally, call or write a letter. You can't beat the personal approach.
Let's say your potential audience is too big for the personal approach. How do you let people know about the event? How do you get them to come?
First of all, the event has to be worthwhile. Nothing will hurt your credibility with your audience and the media more than a highly publicized event that just doesn't amount to much.
All right. You've got a dandy event and a good sized bunch of folks to tell about it. First, look over the checklist below, then flip the page for a plan of action.
In general, you should plan your media campaign at least three months in advance if you wish to use magazines as part of your publicity effort. Determine items and people you want featured. It's a good idea to follow through on one theme. For example, the same picture used on your flier also could be used on posters, in the field day report (proceedings publication) and with a news release.
Some media/methods to consider:
Only publicize events that deserve publicityPomp without substance is not appealing to media people. And it won't do your credibility any good, either.
Put someone in chargePublicity by committee is a mess.
Make a planYou can almost never plan too far ahead. Decide what you want to publicize and how you plan to do it.
Consider the media options you have and pick the most appropriate (checklist). If you have only a small audience, you might just speak or write personally to each person.
Make a calendar, a schedule of your publicity activities.
Be accurateClearly establish the 5 Ws and the H: Who, What, When, Where, Why and How. (See news release sample later in text.)
Be briefShort, tightly written stories announcing an event have a much greater chance of being used and read.
Use a local angleInvolve local people in planning your event. Localize press releases. Involve local MU Extension specialists (and local research center staff when appropriate). They can help make contacts with media and clientele you wish to have attend your event. Sometimes you'll want to involve FFA (especially when you want high school youths to attend your event). Local groups can handle lunch and other services.
Focus on the right audienceThis may be the most important rule in communicating: know your audience and write/talk to them.
Decide what is newsWhat is it about your event that makes it unique/newsworthy?
Establish media contactsBe open. Let them know who you are and what you have to publicize. Learn their deadlines and other expectations. (Do they want typed stories or is a phone call enough? Do they want only that information that relates to readers or listeners in their area?)
Be business-like but friendly in your dealings with the mediaEditors and broadcasters have busy schedules, deadlines and profits to make. They consider themselves professionals, experts in their business. They don't like to be told "you have to run my story."
Don't cajole or beg"Sell" your story on its own merit (that's why the first rule is so important: make sure you have something to sell in the first place).
Don't forget to say "thank you" to the media when they help you publicize an eventI seldom do this directly to the editor or broadcaster, unless I know them fairly well or otherwise have a chance to do this without being ostentatious. But a letter to the editor, say, from you or someone who attended the event, is always nice.
Follow upFor goodness sake, if an event was worth publicizing, it should be worth a follow-up story(ies) on what happened. This could be in the form of information called or delivered to the media before the event ends. Here again, knowing media deadlines will help you get information to media in time.
Start planning for the next event before this one ends. Keep track of what happened and learn from your mistakes. Keep records or notes. Have a discussion immediately after the event with those involved to figure out what went right and how you might do better the next time.
Think of the audience. Will the information do them any good?
Know the media. What do they want? What can they use?
Press releases should include the date and the name, address and phone number of the person to contact for more information.
Be brief. Use short sentences, short paragraphs, simple words, active verbs. And get to the point — fast! Short, tightly written stories have a much greater chance of being used and read.
Beware of jargon ("extensionese," technical terms).
Send releases to the editor or broadcaster who decides what will be used. If you don't know the person's name, address information to "Editor" (in the case of print media) or "News Director" (in the case of broadcasters).
The following story is an example of a good press release:
The largest soil conservation field day in mid-America — including action demonstrations of the latest in soil-saving techniques — has been set for July 26 and 27 near Weston, Mo., just north of Kansas City.
During the two-day event, 7,500 feet of broad-base, narrow-base and grass backslope terraces will be constructed, said Don Pfost, MU agricultural engineer.
"This will give farmers a chance to see these new terraces which are especially well suited for steep slopes," Pfost said.
About 3,500 feet of underground outlets will be installed.
In addition, two large waterways, a 650-foot diversion and an 8,000 cubic yard dam for a lake will be built.
The field days are free and run from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days. Food will be available.
Details are available from ASCS, NRCS, Missouri Department of Conservation and MU Extension centers. Rain dates for the event are Aug. 2 and 3.
This news release features the five Ws and the H:
WhatThe largest soil conservation field day.
WhenJuly 26 and 27.
WhereNear Weston, Mo.
WhoWho says so? (Don Pfost); Who's it for? (farmers); Who's involved? (ASCS, etc.)
Why"To give farmers a chance to see..."
HowAction demonstrations.
While publicity is important to get people to the event, it's even more important that worthwhile information stemming from the event gets spread — whether it's tied to the event or not.

Make sure that the office chair that you will choose is capable of supporting the lower back as well as the users spine. If you can afford to, its best to go for ergonomic chairs because it is especially designed to give safety and maximum comfort. Be on the lookout for chairs that have the most adjustable features, but as a warning, do not choose office chairs that are way too comfortable. You do not want to see your employees getting too relaxed to the point that their chairs will make them fall asleep do you? Not to mention that they are taking a nap during office hours, at your expense.
Depending on your requirements, reclining chairs are available as massage chairs, regular seats, and full-featured home theater reclining chairs. The massage type recliners can have built-in heat technology and music thats synchronized to the rythym of the massage programme. These recliners will also have several pre-configured massage settings so that you can use the one you enjoy most. The massage recliner is excellent at relieving aching and sore muscles.

Who was one acting stupidly
When I was a kid, news on television was dominated by the Vietnam war. I became interested in it because of live combat scenes filmed by an Australian cameraman named Neil Davis. Other important events like the war protests, the civil rights protests and the race for space, filled the broadcasts.
Our military men and women are now dying in one and a half wars. Coverage of Iraq and Afghanistan takes a backseat to that of our jet-setting president. Recently the news was all about him having a couple guys over to his house for a beer. What's up with that?
In a televised press conference, he responded to a question about the arrest of (black) professor Henry Gates. He admitted that he didn't have the facts about the situation, but then said the Cambridge police (Sgt. James Crowley) acted stupidly. He went on to talk about racial profiling by police. How is responding to a call about a break-in construed as profiling? Judging past comments by professor Gates, I am inclined to believe that (he) was doing the racial profiling. Profiling by police helps them catch criminals.
The president's comments were an insult to all police officers. Earlier in the press conference he also offended doctors by accusing them of performing unnecessary procedures to run up their bills. Rather than apologize, he tried to lecture (us) with a "teachable moment." Sure, racism still exists. Slavery was a terrible thing. But, you know what? I had nothing to do with that. I lived across the street from our town's only black family at the time. I delivered their newspaper. I participated in sports with their son. They were nice people and I liked them. I applaud the accomplishments of the young black girl on our track team who is frequently in the paper.
The president on the other hand is friends with revolutionary Weathermen group member William Ayers. The Weathermen targeted police stations with their bombings. Back in the Sixties, people like them were chanting "off the pigs." For 20 years, the president was a member of a church with a "pastor" who expressed hatred for white people in his "sermons." Who is it that needs a teachable moment?
The president positions himself as "the great unifier." He thinks his "brewhaha" illustrated this. This is laughable. It was his comments that caused the uproar in the first place. What he did illustrate by intervening in a local police matter is his flawed decision making process. The same flawed process that has been damaging our country for the last six months. After the "beer summit," professor Gates is still a racist, the president still agrees with him and Sgt. Crowley still believes he was just doing his job. I'll let you decide who you think acted stupidly in the matter. I've already decided. The whole thing was just a two-week distraction from the liberal attack on our healthcare system (the obamanation of healthcare reform).

Hi Daniel,
I enjoyed this wine (brought from my cellar) this evening with a lot of quality raw fish (unfortunately all their yellowtail rolls were cooked fish, but they had a LOT of sea bass sashimi to distribute in platters and salad arangements ) at the King David Citadel Hotel today, and I finally was able to find your tasting note from December (http://stratsplace.zeroforum.com/zerothread?id=15752):
Ella Valley Vineyards, Chardonnay, Vineyard's Choice, 2005: Reflecting its 11 months in oak with gentle vanilla, buttery and spice notes, this sparkling clear golden straw colored wine shows a complex and concentrated array of green pineapple, citrus and ripe pear fruits all leading to a long and generous finish. Full-bodied and still perhaps a bit coarse but everything you want is here in perfect order and all that is needed for this one to show its elegance is a bit more time in the bottle. Approachable now but best 2009-2012. Score 92. K (Tasted 2 Dec 2007)
Do you happen to have a more recent tasting of this? Thanks much in advance.
Best wishes,


text: Student Profiles Charlotte Carnevale '06 Charlotte Carnevale '06 Hometown: Menlo Park, California Majors: English and Art History Why did you choose to come to Bowdoin? I knew I wanted a small liberal arts school, and I didn't find any I liked in my home state of California. I applied to Bowdoin early decision after my campus visit. I was quite taken with the little details, which I guess only a prospective student might notice: a professor remembering my name in class, smiles from the students in a choir rehearsal, marshmallows for the hot chocolate in the dining hall. The friendliness of the campus community and the rigor of the academic program impressed me deeply. I was extremely excited to matriculate the following fall, and I've never looked back. Why did you choose your major? I was a good English student in high school, and I originally came to Bowdoin looking to do something different - chemistry or history, perhaps. I came back to English because the department here is phenomenal. The course offerings are diverse and the professors are extraordinarily committed to their subjects and their students. The course readings are enjoyable and challenging, and the discussions I've had in my English classes were among the best I've had at Bowdoin. The number of courses in the major allowed me to take many courses in other departments while keeping my base in literature, which I found very agreeable. What has been your favorite course at Bowdoin? My favorite course was probably Essentials of Archaeology with Professor Scott MacEachern. It was a small class, and we spent three hours a week reading archaeological theory and working on a dig ourselves! We studied shells on Whaleboat Island in Casco Bay, and we excavated an area behind the Russwurm African-American Center looking for artifacts from Civil War-era Bowdoin. Talk about hands-on learning! Have you engaged in any independent research while at Bowdoin? I did a semester-long independent study with Professor David Collings on the life and poetry of Gerard Manley Hopkins. My interest in Hopkins was piqued by an English class I'd taken the previous semester and my further studies not only served to satisfy my curiosity about this great and enigmatic poet, but also taught me how to write a long research paper. When I was finished, other professors in the department expressed a desire to read my work - it was pretty flattering to have such learned people take such interest in undergraduate research! What extracurricular or work experiences have you had at Bowdoin? I've worked in the Special Collections and Archives department of the Library since my first year. I also sing in the Chamber Choir and co-chair the Bowdoin blood drive committee. My four years here have been dotted with other activities, too: Taiko drumming, knitting club, Khmer lessons.... There is always something fun and interesting to do! Did you study abroad during your time at Bowdoin? I went to London, where I studied literature and art history. It was amazing to actually be in a place my readings talked about. Reading "Lines Composed a Few Miles from Tintern Abbey" a few miles from Tintern Abbey was an unforgettable experience! I encourage everyone to study abroad for at least one semester in their time at Bowdoin. When else in your life will you get credit for traveling somewhere you always wanted to go? What is your best Bowdoin memory? I will never forget my first snowball fight. I had never seen snow falling from the sky before my first year at Bowdoin; learning which types of snow are best for throwing, sculpting and building was a fun (and extremely important) life skill I would never have attained in California! What are your plans for after graduation? I want to go into museum work, so I am thinking of moving to New York in the fall, after completing my summer job here at Bowdoin. Museum internships are notoriously unpaid, so I will probably work a less-than-glamorous job while getting experience with an internship. I plan to go to graduate school for museum studies or art law in the next few years. What advice would you give to a prospective student or first-year about the Bowdoin experience? Just enjoy your time here. Drink in the autumn colors, the spring plantings, and the moonlight on a snowy quad. Go to the outside lectures, the art openings, the concerts and the games. Read new things, talk to new people, and try that weird gourmet dish at the end of the line at Thorne. Bowdoin is an incredibly special place, and your four years here afford you the opportunity to take advantage of every special thing here. Also, tuck your shirt in during snowball fights, unless you want snow in your pants. Story posted on June 26, 2006 « Back | More Student Profiles | Go to News Home

I would like to introduce you to the Mountain Laurel, a unique paper from Meadows of Dan, Virginia. The Mountain Laurel warned readers that it would "not keep you informed of world events" but instead sought to "portray mountain people with honor and distinction", hence the double-meaning in the title: a laurel is not only a native flower but also means "honor and distinction".
Distinctly Appalachian, the paper introduced readers to Glendon Boyd, wood carver and artisan rake-maker, and it told the tale of the man who once fell out of his cornfield and broke his leg because the land there was so steep. It would keep readers up to date with a report from the Floyd County Public Library which once resided in the basement of the Floyd courthouse. Readers clamored to contribute their own stories and memories making the paper a rich and entertaining resource full of oral history. The Mountain Laurel has been collecting and printing the lore, history, culture, and happenings of their Blue Ridge Mountain community since Bob and Charlotte Heafner and Susan Thigpen set up shop with an electronic typewriter in a rented farmhouse in March 1983.
A few years ago, Bob Heafner generously lent his collection of the Mountain Laurel to the Library of Virginia so it could be preserved on microfilm. Issues for March 1983 through Winter 1995 are available on Film 2025A.
The Mountain Laurel maintains a website for the journal with many transcribed articles available and they are still accepting submissions of readers' stories. Please visit mtnlaurel.com for more of these wonderful stories.

Ryanair, the low-cost airline renowned for its customer service, has chosen a Dell EqualLogic storage system for its Dublin data centre, rejecting competing offers from HP and an IBM/NetApp combo.
The contract is worth €470,000 and is part of a Ryanair data centre upgrade intended to improve its internal IT. Ryanair is aiming to reduce data centre running costs and increase processing capacity, with the ability to scale up capacity as demand for applications like email increases over the next few years. It expects to spend less time maintaining the EqualLogic storage than previous storage systems and so free up IT team resources.
The Dell deal also involves a disaster recovery facility, plus services from Dell's Cherrywood, County Dublin office and its Limerick-based European Command Centre.
Dell's presence in Ireland seems to have been influential in Ryanair's decision. ®

Can we PLEASE make it mandatory for posters( initiating threads) to list their sys. components.
We waste so much time & space asking them in subsequent posts just trying to determine what they have in their computers.
Is this possible? Having it in the Signature space before they are allowed to Post would solve a lot of problems!
Just a thought..........

Student loans company says 'we're not overloaded'
Starving students too weak to argue
The Student Loans Company has insisted its systems are coping with a surge of applications despite complaints of a rising backlog of applications ahead of the new academic year.
Up to 50,000 students face starting term without full loans. Late applicants have been promised provisional payments. Student forums are still full of students, and their parents, struggling to get their questions answered.
The NUS complained today that the company had given repeated assurance that "significant backlogs would not be a problem, but now it is apparent that this is not the case".
But the SLC said it was dealing with a record number of applications and only students who applied late were facing delays. A spokeswoman told the Register its systems were holding up well, but there were delays getting through to call centres.
The SLC statement said:
We're sorry that our customers are experiencing difficulties getting through to our customer advisors at Student Finance England. This year, we have received record numbers of applications and calls. We have processed the majority of applications from across the UK and we are processing thousands more every day. We are currently processing late applications that were submitted in mid-late August. Any customer who has applied on time should be paid on time, once they have registered at university.
We are encouraging students to review the status of their application online and also to check the website where we will be posting regular updates.
We acknowledge that this will be a worrying time for those students affected. We will process applications and deal with enquiries as quickly as possible. Would-be students are advised to check www.direct.gov.uk/studentfinance
The company has already increased call centre capacity to try and deal with the increased workload.
SLC is also warning students not to be fooled by phishing emails claiming to be from the loan provider asking bogus security questions. ®

How To Survive a 47-Story Fall
Make sure you land on your feet.
On Friday, the New York Times reported on the "miraculous" recovery of a 37-year-old window washer named Alcides Moreno, who had survived a 47-story fall off the side of an apartment building four weeks earlier. (His brother, who was on the same window-washing platform, was killed instantly.) Moreno has recently begun talking, and doctors now believe he might walk again within a year. How can you survive—and recover from—such a fall?
Don't hit your head. People who fall just a few stories and land on their heads almost always die: According to a study published in the journal Injury, you're just as likely to survive a five-story fall landing feet first as you are a one-story fall headfirst. Although no one knows exactly how Moreno landed, it's clear he spared his skull.
The other body part to avoid injuring in a fall is the pelvis, a ringlike structure of three bones located at the base of the spine. The pelvis is surrounded by large nerves, blood vessels, and the digestive and reproductive organs, so an injury there can cause substantial bleeding, internal organ damage, and ultimately death. According to an analysis of 200 patients in the New York City area, pelvic injury is second only to head injuries as a predictor of death in fall patients.
It's difficult to land in such a way as to avoid hurting both your head and your pelvis, though—because while landing headfirst almost surely spells death, landing feet first sometimes causes pelvic injuries due to the force of impact transmitted up through the legs. All things considered, though, feet first is the better way to go; if your fall is long enough, it's possible to right yourself to land feet first using the types of body motions used by athletes or acrobats to perform midair somersaults.
If you do manage to spare both head and pelvis (as Moreno did), breaking lots of other bones isn't necessarily life-threatening. The total number of fractures doesn't strongly affect survival rates—most will heal over time; spinal injuries can cause permanent nerve damage and paralysis, but they're generally not fatal. Moreno broke 10 bones in his accident, including several ribs, an arm, and both legs.
It also helps if something slows down your fall. The severity of injuries is closely linked to the speed of impact, which explains why long falls are more dangerous than short ones—velocity correlates with fall distance. (In 2002, a young man survived after falling from the 19th floor of an apartment building and hitting a tree on his way down.) Although it's unlikely that Moreno hit something during his fall, it appears that he stayed within his window-washing scaffolding the entire way down. The extra wind resistance provided by its large size may have slowed the descent and reduced the force of impact. (Some reports have suggested that Moreno's brother was thrown from the scaffolding during the fall, so he may have fallen faster.) If you're unlucky enough to fall a long distance without anything—like a parachute—to slow you down, it's best to lie flat to increase your surface area in contact with the wind, but be sure to orient yourself feet first before landing.
Youth helps, too, and Moreno was only 37. According to a study published in 1994, senior citizens account for about 14 percent of all falls but half of fall-related deaths; an 85-year-old is 100 times more likely to die from a fall than a 5-year-old.

The New Museum and long-time supporter Altoids, the Curiously Strong Mints®, have announced the establishment of The Altoids Award. "A first of its kind, the prize will be awarded biennially by the New Museum to four emerging artists nominated and selected by a panel comprised entirely of other artists. The award will consist of a $25,000 cash prize for each of the four winners – totaling $100,000 — as well as a joint exhibition at the New Museum's new building on the Bowery."
It is important to note that this important grant – with significant cash awards – is not something artists may apply for; another argument for you to get your work out into the arts community, update targeted professionals on your accomplishments and newest works, etc.
How can you be nominated for one of the growing number of grants that are decided by nomination only if we don't know your work?
More from the press release:
"The unique award selection process calls for a geographically and stylistically diverse group of ten artists to each nominate up to five emerging artists, which they have identified as producing especially innovative, unusual and powerful work. The nominators themselves were selected for the quality of their work and their proven commitment to publicly supporting the artistic community through writing, teaching, organizing exhibitions and running alternative spaces.
The nominators for the first Altoids Award will be:
Edgar Arceneaux, Los Angeles
Allora and Calzadilla, San Juan, Puerto Rico
Mitch Cope, Detroit
Trisha Donnelly, San Francisco
Harrell Fletcher, Portland, OR
Jay Heikes, Minneapolis
Matt Keegan, New York
Rick Lowe, Houston
Frances Stark, Los Angeles
Michelle Grabner, Chicago
Several of the nominators – Edgar Arceneaux (2002), Trisha Donnelly (2001), Harrell Fletcher (2002) and Jay Heikes (2002) – were also selected early in their careers for the New Museum's Altoids Curiously Strong Collection. The first four Altoids Award recipients will be chosen from the nominated pool of artists by three established artists known for their ground-breaking work and for their unflagging commitment to engaging and supporting new talent: Paul McCarthy, Cindy Sherman and Rirkrit Tiravanija.The recipients will be announced in early 2008, and a presentation of their work, organized by New Museum Curator Massimiliano Gioni, will debut in the first floor gallery of New Museum's new Bowery home in fall 2008."

Coffee and Espresso Grinders
The most integral piece of coffee brewing equipment isn't found in anything you brew with — it's your grinder. Filtered water brought to a near-boil, when combined with fresh, quality coffee, has the potential to unlock all sorts of flavors and aromas that will tantalize the palate. But if that coffee is ground improperly those delicate and robust characteristics will become muted or completely washed out. Our conical and flat burr coffee and espresso grinders will provide a consistent grind for a superior brew.

heading off to tour through South America for 3 months, hoping to hit most of the main hot spots and a bit of detouring off the beaten track along the way!
fijiaaron Well, there's a Brazilian steak house in Quito that's pretty good. It's somewhere between 10 de Agusto & Av. Amazones -- you walk down La Gasca and then -- ok, I don't know Quito.
There are a ton of international restaurants (including good Mongolian Grill) down by Los Alpes & I guess it's the old US Embassy. Find the McDonalds on Av. 6 de Deciembre and head east. A lot of language schools are in that area so if you're looking for the young hip international scene that's the place to be.
It turns out I don't really know Quito. I'm used to finding my way on foot and Google Maps is confusing me.
But in Cuenca, Ah!
El Mais has great food. Get the Locro de Papas (potato soup with Avacado) and laugh at their English translations on the menu (e.g. "To the fresh species"). You have to ask for mote but it's a great appetizer and their Aji is excellent. It's a big yellow house on the Calle Larga and run by a family. Nice older lady, a quiet formal younger waiter. I hear their cuy is good too.
El Jarin & El Jordan are two restaurants side by side on Calle Larga too with a sort of Mediterrenean twist. Great formal places with affordable, excellent steaks and a great view.
Everything else on Calle Larga is expat fare and overpriced drinks though. But if you're looking for the "scene" that's where it is in Cuenca.
La Parillada is an excellent Ecuadorian style grill in the newer downtown section.
