The Associated Press is reporting President Barack Obama today promised Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer that most of the previously announced 1,200 National Guard troops will go to the Arizona border. Assurances were made at a White House meeting today between the president and the governor, who was met by protesters.
The state, too, has been the focus of protests, boycotts and legal challenges since Brewer signed a law, SB 1070, which gives authority to police to question anyone suspected of being in the United States illegally. Critics, including scores of Latino American groups, have denounced the law as constitutional, as legalized racial profiling and putting it at the center of a hate-filled, anti-Latino and anti-immigrant movement.
The AP story described the meeting as "cordial," but that Obama "reiterated his concern" about SB 1070. Hundreds of protestors reportedly held signs saying, "Shame on Arizona" and, "We Want Comprehensive Reform, Not a Police State."
While Brewer has pointed to border security, critics are pointing to statistics that show crime is down, even in Arizona. "According to the FBI and a report by the Associated Press, 'the top four big cities in America with the lowest rates of violent crime are all in border states: San Diego, Phoenix, El Paso and Austin,' " said the National Immigration Forum in a press release. "And an in-house Customs and Border Protection report shows that Border Patrol agents face far less danger than street cops in most U.S. cities. … Of America's 25 largest cities, San Diego — with one out of four residents an immigrant — has the lowest number of violent crimes per capita."

Brocade takes pride in offering a volunteer-time-off program to make a difference in the community – employees like the benefit; non-profit organizations and K-12 schools like the outcomes. And, transparently, the Company values the business impacts realized when groups volunteer together as a team-building exercise.
Recently, two business groups from the Company's San Jose headquarters volunteered at RAFT (Resource Area for Teaching), an organization with a unique approach to inspiring, engaging and educating children. Executive director, Mary Simon emphasizes that "volunteers are critical to the success of our mission. Through their generous donations of time and energy, RAFT is able to provide affordable hands-on activities to educators and students." So far this year, more than 100 Brocadians volunteered nearly 300 hours at RAFT.
Volunteers sort donated goods that are repurposed and repackaged as 'hands-on kits' that stimulate learning in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). The kits tie directly to academic standards. From film containers and foam buttons that make 'fizzy rockets' to straws, rubber-bands and clear lids that make 'roller racers', groups of volunteers cut, count, sort, bag, label and box hundreds of kits each hour. Jason Nolet, vice president, data center switching and routing said, "It's incredible to see the way RAFT can turn discarded and donated items from local companies into inexpensive science projects for students. These kits have lasting effects that inspire kids – our future workforce – to enjoy math and science. I like that!"
The teams enjoy the physical activity and appreciate the time with co-workers. Group volunteer projects are fun, rewarding, and an effective way to build healthy team dynamics that lead to improved departmental effectiveness. "Volunteering together gets our teams mixing and collaborating in unique ways that they simply are not able to do in a traditional work setting. New relationships are forged and team dynamics are enriched." says director, global recruitment, Robyn Longfellow.
Together, in just a few short hours, these two teams produced outcomes that will allow RAFT to serve nearly 13,000 students. Moreover, while at RAFT, teams realized benefits that extend beyond the social benefit. According to Boston College Center for Corporate Citizenship, volunteerism generates tangible business value. Employee engagement gurus Chris Jarvis and Angela Parker of Realized Worth present compelling evidence that companies can realize multiple objectives across their organizations in "The Business Benefits of Corporate Volunteering."
From a team build with Habitat for Humanity, regular events at Second Harvest Food Bank, Highway clean-ups, the recent outings at RAFT and more, group volunteer projects at Brocade are delivering results on multiple levels.
So, when is your next group volunteer activity?

Written statement to Parliament
UK support and funding for International Justice
The Foreign Secretary William Hague has updated Parliament on UK support and funding for International Justice.
The Foreign Secretary William Hague said:
I am pleased to provide Parliament with an account of HMG's support for the principles and institutions of International Justice in 2012/13, and our plans for funding them in the year ahead.
International justice is central to foreign policy. It is essential for securing the rights of individuals and states, and for securing peace and reconciliation. Through the International Criminal Court, and the other international courts and tribunals, we are working to make clear that those responsible for the worst crimes will be held to account and that perpetrators, including political leaders, will not enjoy impunity, and providing a fair hearing for both victims and accused. Our support to these institutions is an important element in our strategy to reduce conflict, promote stability and strengthen the rules based international system.
For calendar year 2012 we provided assessed contributions of £9.2 million to the International Criminal Court, £5.9 million to the International Criminal Tribunal for Yugoslavia, £3.8 million to the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, and £1.1 million to the Residual Mechanism which will take on the essential functions of the Tribunals when they close. In addition for the financial year 2012 - 13 we made voluntary contributions of £2 million to the International component of the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia, £1 million to the Special Court for Sierra Leone, £2 million to the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, and £1 million in total to the International Criminal Court Trust Fund for Victims, with £500,000 of this earmarked for work on sexual violence and made as part of the Preventing Sexual Violence Initiative. Our contributions helped these institutions to deliver justice for victims of some of the worst atrocities of the last century and send the message that there will be no impunity for the most serious international crimes.
As a state party to the International Criminal Court, a member of the United Nations Security Council which oversees the Rwanda and Yugoslavia Tribunals, and a member of the management bodies for the Sierra Leone and Cambodia Courts and the Lebanon Tribunal we engaged actively throughout the year to ensure these institutions were run effectively and efficiently.
The coming year will be important for International Justice. At the International Criminal Court the case against Laurent Gbagbo the former President of Côte d'Ivoire is proceeding and the Court is now dealing with the case against Bosco Ntaganda a former militia group commander in Democratic Republic of Congo. The investigations into the situation in Mali are underway. The trials of three Kenyan nationals are due to begin this year. The International Criminal Tribunals for Rwanda and Yugoslavia will both close with their remaining functions transferring to the Mechanism for International Criminal Tribunals. The Special Court for Sierra Leone is scheduled to complete its work with a verdict in the appeal of Charles Taylor due in September, after which its remaining essential functions will be taken up by the Residual Court. And the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia will finish hearing evidence in the trial of the most senior responsible and surviving members of the Khmer Rouge.
We will continue to support these institutions through our assessed and voluntary contributions made through the new International Justice fund. We will encourage other States to support the voluntary-funded Courts and Tribunals and the International Criminal Court Trust Fund for Victims to help ensure their financial security. And we will work to ensure these institutions achieve value for money by actively scrutinising budget proposals and pressing for efficiency.
I will provide an update on our progress this time next year and from this point forward I will make one annual statement detailing our financial support to international justice.

text: To make the pastry for the pie, place the flour in a large mixing bowl and rub in the butter and lard until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the water a little at a time until the pastry starts to come together, then gather it quickly into a ball. Wrap the pastry in cling film and place it in the fridge to rest for at least 30 minutes. Pre-heat the oven to Gas 7, 220ºC, fan 200ºC. Place a large non-stick frying pan on a medium heat and dry fry the mince. Once it is evenly browned, drain off the fat then add the diced onion, the stock cube made up in 150ml (¼ pint) water. Cook for about a further 10 minutes. While the mince is cooking, roll out half the pastry and line the bottom of a 23-25cm (9-10 inch) pie dish. Strain all the stock off the mince but keep it to one side, as it makes great gravy. Spoon the mince into the pastry-lined pie dish then pour over the beans. Roll out the rest of the pastry to make the pie top. Moisten the edges of the pastry base and place the lid on top of the filling, pressing the top and bottom together. Trim the excess pastry around the edge of the pie dish and cut two steam holes in the top. Bake in the oven for around 25-30 minutes or until golden. Enjoy hot or cold.

FLASH! Two Rafales Coming To Aero India 2011
This was a rumour doing the rounds for a while. Finally got an official confirmation from Dassault today. Two French Navy Rafales will make their first public Indian appearance at Aero India 2011 next month at the IAF's Yelahanka air force base outside Bangalore. Dassault will also be bringing a Falcon 7X and a Falcon 2000LX.
[@6.00PM IST] The Rafale was seen as something of an underdog in the MMRCA competition for a while, though
recent reports
have put it on top of the pack in the $11-billion deal for 126 fighter aircraft. Conspiciously closed to the media in India, Dassault's bird has been the least visible of the six contenders in the competition -- a deliberate strategy, it so happens. Its appearance next month outside Bangalore will be the first time the aircraft will be seen in public in India (in September 2009, the aircraft was in India for trials, and was
usefully snapped at the time
by a single photographer).
Dassault believes that the MMRCA competition is a professional tender, and that flaunting the aircraft (at considerable expense, of course) at an air show in India is an unnecessary exercise. It would therefore be interesting to know what's changed now. Does Dassault smell a win? Clearly the company is convinced that this is the one time that it shouldn't be conservative about displaying their contender.
There's no confirmation yet on the MiG-35, but chances are it'll be there too. So it looks like we're going to have a full line up of all six MMRCA horses in a pretty little courseline at Yelahanka. How sweet would that be.

Mexico Is Angry
[Wandered in off the Net]
Three cheers for Arizona!
The shoe is on the other foot, and the Mexicans from the state of Sonora, Mexico don't like it. Can you believe the nerve of these people? It's almost funny. The State of Sonora is angry at the influx of Mexicans into Mexico!
Nine state legislators from the Mexican state of Sonora traveled to Tucson to complain about Arizona 's new crackdown on illegals from Mexico. It seems that many Mexican illegals are returning to their home towns and the officials in the Sonora state government are ticked off.
At a news conference, the legislators said that Sonora, - Arizona's southern neighbor, - made up of mostly small towns, - cannot handle the demand for housing, jobs and schools that it will face as Mexican workers return to their home towns from the USA without jobs or money. The new Arizona law not only allows local police to determine the immigration status of any criminal suspect (that's what all the liberal hoopla is abou) but it punishes Arizona employers who knowingly hire individuals without valid legal documents to work in the United States. Penalties include suspension of, or loss of, their business license.
The Mexican legislators are angry because their own citizens are returning to their home towns, placing a burden on their state government. "How can Arizona pass a law like this?" asked Mexican Rep Leticia Amparano- Gamez, who represents Nogales. "There is not one person living in Sonora who does not have a friend or relative working in Arizona." she said, speaking in Spanish. "Mexico is not prepared for this, for the tremendous problems it will face as more and more Mexicans working in Arizona and who were sending money to their families return to their home towns in Sonora without jobs," she said. "We are one family, socially and economically," she said of the people of Sonora and Arizona .
Wrong! The United States is a sovereign nation, not a subsidiary of Mexico , and its taxpayers are not responsible for the welfare of Mexico 's citizens. It's time for the Mexican government, and its citizens, to stop feeding parasitically off the United States and to start taking care of its/ their own needs. Too bad that other states within the USA don't pass a law just like that passed by Arizona . Maybe that's the answer, since our own Congress will do nothing!

Business secretary Vince Cable has warned that small companies are not doing enough to protect themselves against cyber attacks.
Speaking in London at the opening of the US-UK Global Cyber Security Innovation Summit, Cable said: "We need to do a lot more to diffuse cyber security awareness among small companies."
"Intellectual property theft is the most pressing issue for the business world," Cable told Business Technology.
Announcing a £4 million competition for UK cyber businesses to develop ideas to tackle cyber security threats, Cable's message for Business Technology readers was that cyber security is a growing business and one that Britain is already a world leader in.
60 per cent of funding will be reserved for small- and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) rather than big technology suppliers.
Cable suggested the sectors with the most pressing security needs are utilities, such as electricity and gas suppliers. He added that this kind of covert electronic warfare already goes on between countries.
Cyber warfare 'is pursuing inter-state conflict by other means', the business secretary said. The £4 million fund will launch in March 2015.
The UK expects cyber-security exports to be worth £2 billion in 2015. In 2013 the UK cyber security sector was worth more than £6 billion and employed around 40,000 people.
Cable said there are various strands to cyber security ranging from industrial espionage to governments attacking each other, as has been seen in Ukraine.
The business minister named China as one 'problematic' country that was attacking UK business through cyber security attacks.
Cable said that according to the World Economic Forum, the US ranked first worldwide in cyber security preparedness and the UK second.
He described cyber-security as 'a rapidly growing opportunity as well as a problem'. The UK government has invested £860 million in cyber-security since 2011.
Cable also announced an Open University course on cyber-security aimed at the public as well as businesses.
"Building a strong and resilient cyberspace in the UK is central to ensuring that our companies can make the most of business opportunities online, while avoiding potentially costly threats to the information they hold and the services they provide," he said.
The business secretary also announced the appointment of industry expert Andy Williams as cyber security small business champion.
And Dr Emma Philpott, managing director of cyber and technology catalyst Key IQ, will lead a project to establish local clusters of small companies working in cyber security. These clusters include Malvern, Cambridge and Surrey.
Robert Rodriguez, founder of US technology firm SINET, added: "God created the first four domains – land, sea, air and earth – but the fifth domain is cyber security, and that was made by man."
Opening the conference, Rodriguez hailed Britain as the inventor of the worldwide web and the jet engine.
Around 250 government officials and industry experts are attending the two-day event at the British Museum in central London.

Fire destroys Bedford house
Off-duty firefighter sees smoke from road
A fire gutted a three-story home in Bedford on Tuesday.
Officials said an off-duty Bedford firefighter was driving on Route 101 and saw the smoke coming from 30 Ledgewood Road. The firefighter located the house and called for help.
Firefighters were on the scene in minutes, but the house was already engulfed in flames, officials said.
Firefighters said the fire was coming out of the first floor onto a rear deck and climbing up the outside of the structure.
About 45 firefighters from nine towns helped fight the fire, and it took about 15 minutes to bring it under control.
There were no injuries.
Fire officials said they believe the house is a total loss.

Have you thought about changing the price of the app? I had an app I priced at $0.99 at first, then to $1.99, and finally $2.99, and the amount of downloads more or less stayed the same, but I just tripled my income. Of course it can be a gamble, because you never know how the market reacts, but sometimes that $1 does not matter a thing. Never underestimate your own work

The annual "You Gotta Believe Camp" brought a number of former Ole Miss football players back to Jackson on Thursday.
"It's just fun to get back together." Colts wide receiver and former Ole Miss football player Donte Moncrief said. "It will be a while before you see these guys again and the season is about to start, so it'll be a whole year before we see each other again. After the kids workout we do too, so we just have fun together."
"It's like a little reunion for us." Giants rookie tight end Evan Engram added. "Everybody has been going through camps. I've been looking forward to this for over a year now, so it means the world to be out here with all my guys and to be playing with and coaching the younger ones."
Since 2015, the camp has helped raise thousands of dollars for local charities, while teaching youngsters the importance of self belief.
"Coach Warren taught us a lot today and the good Lord helped us on the right side and we just did what we had to do and we won." YGB camper Collin Haney said.
"They just got me better in general." added camper Charlie Whittington. "They helped me as a person and they helped me in football."

Jeff Vorva's Editor's Notebook:
During several of the many snowstorms – including Monday's – I was out with the snow blower jamming to a hot mix of Kraftwerk cover songs.
On an old iPod shuffle. One that my daughter, Lauren, had back when Hillary Duff was putting her makeup on a Saturday night.
Last week on a cold, cold night, my son, T.J. and I were in a broiling hot Apple Store in the Orland Square Mall and replacing his iPhone which suffered some recent software and hardware woes that came with a bill that made me say "woe is me."
To date, our four-member family has purchased five iPhones, five or six iTouches, three iPod Classics, two iPod Nanos, two Shuffles and an iPad. And that's doesn't cover the uncountable number chargers and headphones we have gone through.
Most of these expensive items have had garbage software problems. To this day, I have no idea why my second Classic crapped out. That was unfair.
Some suffered hardware problems.
My son's iPhone and daughter's iTouch both suffered cracks at the same friend's house in Wheaton. In different years. T.J.'s was mangled playing basketball. Lauren's crack came while her device was in my wife's Maggie's purse and we presumed safely put away in a closet.
Some of the younger kids got into the closet and must have had a hat dance with the purses.
I have a lot of problems with Apple and its products and judging by the many message boards out there in the Internet world, I am not alone. They make their products to be broken.
But through all of this, our little blue 1 GB iPod shuffle, is still going strong.
It survived a lot of stuff.
It's hit the floor a few times. It was lost for several months. It's been in freezing cars in the winter and steaming cars in the summer. It fell in the snow a few times.
It survived the wildest variety of music you could fill it with. My daughter's teenybop pop, my son's rap music and my wild music that includes crazy rockabilly and loud metal-industrial masters Laibach and Rammstein should have melted its innards long ago.
But it's still working.
So, it appears that Apple accidentally made a product that can't be broken.
It's a miracle.
More snow coming
Saturday's forecast is for more snow!
I believe that it has snowed every Saturday in 2014 so this is no surprise.
While most of us are sick of snow and cold, the word is that this is only the third highest snowfall in the Chicago area and we are about 20 inches short of breaking the record.
The question I will throw out to the floor is this: Do you wish for another 20 inches in the next month or two so we can brag that we survived the worst winter in history? Heck, we've gone this far, why not go for it?
Or do you just want this #$%#@ snow to end once and for all on Saturday?
While standing knee-deep in snow at the end of the driveway caused mostly by the plows on Tuesday morning, I think I know my answer to that question.
Wrong about Miley
This week Miley Cyrus was performing a concert in Tacoma when someone threw a thong on stage.
Cyrus picked it up and put it in her mouth.
Unless the thong was thrown by a plant in the audience (the maybe-late, great Andy Kaufman used to use audience plants all the time) the thong thrown from the throng could have been anywhere, and this goof is putting it in her mouth. Who knows where that thing has been?
Kids, don't try this at home.
I remember when Cyrus was the TV star on "Hannah Montana" I thought there were times when she had some comedic chops and timing and if she worked on it a bit more, could have been in Lucille Ball territory.
But instead of becoming a really good comedian she is turning into a sad clown.

Soundgarden Circle Of Power tab
Date: Mon, 2 Oct 95 17:53:14 EDT From: "mr. nobody explodes"
Subject: CIRCLE OF POWER by Soundgarden Circle of Power (words by Hiro Yamamoto, music by Kim Thayil) This is a correction of the one I previously did. I cannot believe I screwed up so much on the transcriptions. Anyway here it is. The main riff (played very quickly) of this song is:E ------------------B ------------------G ------------------D -------------7-7--A -7--7-7-5-5-------E ------------------This opens up the song and appears during the interlude. Blah blah blah blah blah blah. Anyway, the chords played through are the power chords: B5, D5, C#5, C5 After that, the main guitar plays:E -----------------------------------------------------------------B -----------------------------------------------------------------G -----------------------------------------------------------------D -----------------------------------------------------------------A -----------------------------------------------------------------E -2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-That is basically the song. I won~t transcribe the solo because I do not know it. That slow riff after the solo is just the main riff played slow. One more thing, not about this transcription, but about another one I did. THE SONG "SWALLOW MY PRIDE" WAS NOT WRITTEN BY SOUNDGARDEN BUT WAS A COVER SONG BY GREEN RIVER. I apologize to all the angered Green River fans. Goodbye for now...

Apartment Sharing in Muscat
Hi Guys, im moving to Muscat from Doha in March and wondered what the deal was with apartment sharing. I currently share with 2 mates in Doha and ideally I would like to do the same in Muscat once I have made a few friends.
In Qatar, by law sharing is illegal but people do it anyway. Just wondered if this was common in Muscat too?
Any advice given would be appreciated.
Looking to join in on a few of the group activities when i arrive so hopefully see a few of you around.
Many Thanks,

Earlier: Philly Fed Manufacturing Survey decreased to -6.0 in September
From the Philly Fed: September Manufacturing Survey
Manufacturing conditions in the region were mixed in September, according to firms responding to this month's Manufacturing Business Outlook Survey. The indicator for general activity fell into negative territory, but indicators for new orders, shipments, and employment remained positive.This was below the consensus forecast of a reading of 6.3 for September.
The survey's broadest measure of manufacturing conditions, the diffusion index of current activity, decreased from 8.3 in August to -6.0 this month. This is the first negative reading in the index since February 2014 ...
Firms' responses suggest some improvement in employment conditions in September despite the reported lull in overall activity. The percentage of firms reporting an increase in employees in September (21 percent) was higher than the percentage reporting a decrease (11 percent). The current employment index increased 5 points, its highest reading in five months. Firms also reported, on balance, a modest increase in the workweek similar to August.
emphasis added
Click on graph for larger image.
Here is a graph comparing the regional Fed surveys and the ISM manufacturing index. The yellow line is an average of the NY Fed (Empire State) and Philly Fed surveys through September. The ISM and total Fed surveys are through August.
The average of the Empire State and Philly Fed surveys decreased in September, and this suggests a weak reading for the ISM survey.

Bacterial and viral recombination
A cross is made between Hfr met+ thi+ pur+ X F- met- thi- pur-.
Interrupted-mating studies show that met+ enters the recipient last, so met+ exconjugants are selected on medium containing thi and pur only. These exconjugants are tested for the presence of thi+ and pur+. The following numbers of individuals are found with each genotype:
met+ thi+ pur+ 280
met+ thi+ pur- 0
met+ thi- pur+ 6
met+ thi- pur- 52
(a) Why was met left out of the selection medium?
(b) What is the gene order?
(c) What are the map distances in recombination units?

text: Transitioning to Scrum: Selecting the Product OwnerPosted on August 13, 2009 12:23:PM by John Clifford to RetrospectivesMethods & Processes, Technique, project management, Agile, Scrum, requirements, Management, product ownerMany teams moving to Scrum have questions about the Product Owner position. Is the Product Owner a member of the Scrum team? What role does the Product Owner play in the day-to-day life of a Scrum project? How do we map current functional roles to Scrum roles, specifically with regard to the Product Owner? Who should we select as our Product Owner? Let me start by saying the Product Owner is perhaps the most important role in Scrum… something you don't often hear from Scrum folks. The Scrum process defines the Product Owner as being the person responsible for the team's return on investment, i.e., the Product Owner will be judged by whether the project's outcome justifies its cost. Another, more direct way of saying this is to identify the Product Owner as "The Single Wring-able Neck," or the person whose head is on the figurative chopping block if the project fails. Interestingly, the Project Management Institute (PMI)® has a similar definition for project managers: the person assigned by the performing organization to achieve the project objectives (A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge, (PMBOK® Guide), 5th Edition, p16). Therefore, based upon both the Scrum and PMI definition, the Product Owner responsibilities are equivalent to those of a project manager. This is one reason why I have found knowledge and competence in project management to be a key ability of a successful Product Owner. Selecting a Product Owner therefore naturally starts with identifying candidates who have that knowledge. There are other skills and abilities required, including sufficient technical knowledge to understand the problem domain and the technical aspects of proposed solutions. A successful Product Owner doesn't need to be the best software developer on the team, but he does need to be able to understand the technical decisions well enough to know whether they make sense. Eliminate candidates who lack sufficient technical ability. Be especially careful not to view the Product Owner as the project's 'driver.' Scrum is about empowered, self-managing teams which are led (pulled) rather than driven (pushed). Scrum means never having to be driven. Candidates who can't or won't embrace the servant-manager philosophy, or who insist on directing the team should be disqualified. Nothing will cripple your Scrum implementation more than a de jure Product Owner who sees himself as a de facto team manager. By now, you should have narrowed the candidate list to those who have demonstrable technical, project management, and interpersonal skills. Who among the remaining candidates has the ability to understand the customer, the market, and the business? Are there candidates with entrepreneurial experience? Owning a business, starting a business, or working in a leadership position at a startup where everyone wears a multitude of hats and understands making money is the true test of whether or not the customer is satisfied is invaluable. People with this experience understand what really matters because they've lived it. People who have had experience in customer support, QA/test, or sales and marketing at larger companies may also have an understanding of the customer. Now you should be down to the final few candidates. I like the Toyota Production System concept of a 'Chief Engineer' with extensive technical, project management, and business knowledge who leads the team to successful project completion. We're talking about candidates with a software development background, successful project management experience, who have dealt effectively with the customer and understand business realities, and with the skills and experience to successfully act as a proxy for the customer and other stakeholders. Which of the remaining candidates most closely matches this description? If there is no one, have any of the candidates shown promise that they can develop to this level? If the answer is still "No," then you may want to hire someone with the necessary talents and skills to fill the position. PMI and PMBOK are registered marks of the Project Management Institute, Inc.

Carrie Bradshaw knew what she was talking about when she said your 20s are when you make the mistakes. When you're 20, everything you do in life should serve as a lesson. It's confusing why that decade of age is glamorized and called the best years of a person's life. Though I had great moments, even I know it gets better.
I experienced major events in my 20s. I graduated from a university, I gave birth to my son, and I married my best friend – in that order. But if someone asked me if I wanted to relive my 20s, I would tell them hell no! My experiences weren't terrible, but the only repeats I enjoy are on TV.
Since your 20s are when you test life the most, here are The 20 things I learned in my 20s and that I'll always remember.
Money flows where attention goes
I noticed that when I gave all my attention to anything, I experienced the most success. When I wanted to make money as a writer, I focused all of my efforts and attention on making it happen and it did. In fact, the results exceeded my expectations and taught me you can struggle in something if you don't master it.
Choose your friends how you choose fruit
I didn't make this mistake in my 20s, but I know many people who did. I would hear the term thrown around so loosely. Like literally, I would meet and talk to someone one day and they would introduce me as their friend the next. Not my style. Your friends are the people you choose to be in your life. The ones you choose to share in your happy and sad moments. Pick them wisely. You wouldn't knowingly bring home a bruised apple.
Don't take everything personal
I got my feelings hurt a lot in my 20s. From not getting the jobs I wanted, to losing the big opportunities. Those events in my life almost made me bitter because I would take their rejection personal. You get what you want based on how bad you want it. Smarts has little to do with it. It's who wants it the most and are willing to go the hardest who get it.
Live in the moment
I suffer from always living for tomorrow. Everything I did was for the future, and I never just lived in the now. Living in the now builds the memories you'll never forget and helps you enjoy your youth. It's called the present for a reason.
You need not say everything you think about out loud
That's just plain rude. I went through a phase where I didn't have a filter. Exactly how I thought it, was exactly how I said it. I had Kanye West of the mouth. Surprisingly, I got away with it in my 20s, but I had a few close calls. Say the wrong thing to the wrong person and you'll wish you bit your tongue and shut-up. Follow this basic rule: If you think it'll hurt someone's feelings, keep it to yourself or try the safe route of starting your insult with a "don't take this wrong way but…"
Appreciate the people who are there when you're at your worst
Be wary of the people who are only there when you're at your best. They don't know you the way others do. And chances are when you need them, they won't lend a helping hand or show support. This is another thing I was lucky enough to avoid. Everyone in my life has seen me touch rock bottom and have been there through every step I've taken to rebuild, especially my husband.
Listen to the old folks
In my 20s, I swore I knew everything. Or I would say the stupid thing of "let me make the mistake so I can learn myself." If you have an older person in your life who is giving you advice, listen. They've been there and done that and what you are experiencing is nothing new.
Always be yourself
The beauty of being yourself is that no one else can be you. People can have similar experiences as you but you are unique. When you are yourself no one can fault you for that. Well, they can, but you'll know that you're you and if they don't like it then that's too bad. When you act like anything other than yourself you face experiences you are unfamiliar with and don't know how to handle. Avoid that by being as authentic as possible.
Go where you're celebrated not hated
This is a lesson I'm still learning. I know that I am energy so I can feel when I'm not wanted somewhere. But sometimes I have to be there due to obligation or expectations. So start out small and cut the things, places and people who don't make you happy then take it from there.
Know your friends from your enemies
It's fine to have frenemies. Competition is healthy, but it's important to know your friends from your enemies. I learned this the hard way. I thought that certain individuals were my friends. But those friends were enemies with friendly faces. Click To Tweet As long as you can name your friends from your enemies you will get far and avoid a lot of stresses and disappointment.
Be proud of your flaws
I learned that my flaws made me, me. Growing up, I was super self-conscious about the gap in my two front teeth. In my 20s, I learned to see the beauty and uniqueness in it. Plus, my maternal grandmother also had a gap and everybody tells me I bear a striking resemblance to her, so keeping it makes me feel like she's still a part of me. That and I believe I look damn good with it!
Celebrate your accomplishments
This is kind of relative to living in the now. I focused on getting to a perfect place that when I accomplished small things, like getting an article published on a major website or landing an interview with a celebrity I admired, I never celebrated it. This was because that wasn't exactly what I wanted. Celebrate all of your accomplishments no matter how small they are. Click To Tweet You'll feel encouraged to continue going after your dreams without paying too much attention to how long it'll take you to get there.
Be positive but don't fake it
I used to drown myself in positive quotes thinking they could fix what needed work deep inside. There were times I would fake it. And really, it's easy to fake it when you can curate your life into a perfect picture with websites like Instagram and Facebook. But I've learned that I did myself a disservice by not working on myself so I could keep the positivity I read. So I looked within myself and asked myself what would make me happy and moved closer to attracting real happiness. I'm a work in progress, but the good news is that I've started the work.
Your partner should be an asset not a liability
This is another thing I experienced vicariously through others. I watched some of my friends and even family give their hearts to individuals who were liabilities instead of assets. Whether you're dating someone or are married to them, the people you let into your life should serve a purpose. Say no to moochers and dream killers. If the person you are with has no goals, they are a liability. If they support you in the things that make you happy and offer advice and sometimes guidance, they are assets. The end.
Having family is important
This is something I always knew, but I understood more in my late 20s. Your family knows you from when you were a blank slate. And I'm not talking about the family you don't speak to or never met. I mean the ones who have been in your life. You need not talk to them every day or see them every week, but when you do, you guys just pick up right where you left off at. Your family is a permanent fixture in your life. They're the people who will definitely judge you too, but they'll still accept you as you are.
Have a 5 and 10 year plan
I've learned that if you don't make a plan for your life, life will plan it for you. And as random as life can be, it's important that you have a handle on it. The best way to do this is to have a 5 and 10 year plan for all aspects of your life (e.g. career, family, health, travel, etc.). The goal is to be balanced because once you are balanced, everything will fall in line. I'm learning that every day must have a purpose to get me closer to my goals. Once you do this, you'll never feel you're wasting your time or worse, your life.
Have a side hustle
Depending on your job to still be there in the morning isn't a safe bet. People work 9-to-5's because it's secure. It's nice to get a check every week or every other week, I know firsthand how comfortable you can get. But when you rely solely on your desk job, there's a chance you'll hate it. Then you'll hate your employer. And then you'll be miserable. Having a side hustle not only gives you an added stream of income but it also serves as a safety net in case you get fed up of punching a time clock. Everyone should strive to have their own business. The freedom that comes with it is priceless.
You're not really too busy
As soon as I entered my 20s, I felt I was too busy. I was always on go. From working full-time in retail and going to school full-time, I was exhausted. Sometimes I wouldn't even have enough time to pick up the phone and call my parents. Or at least that's what I would say. You're never too busy. Are you too busy to brush your teeth in the morning when you wake up? I will guess no. You make time to brush your teeth and to go through your morning routine, so you can do the same with other areas of your life that matter to you. Adjust your priorities and you'll see that 24 hours is enough time to do everything and get a good night's rest.
It's ok that not everyone likes you
I used to be a people pleaser, sometimes sacrificing my happiness to make others happy. That was until I was working so hard to earn the approval of others, only to find out they still didn't like me. Sometimes it has nothing to do with you. The person will just have an issue with you for no clear reason. At this point in my life I say that a person not liking me is none of my damn business and they should handle that shit within themselves. Realizing that your world doesn't end if someone doesn't like you is liberating
Spend more money on experiences and less on things
If there was anything I would've done differently it would be travel more. In my 20s, I've traveled out of the country twice and have visited almost every city in the U.S. But I didn't travel enough. I did, however, have every in-season shoe, foundation and lip gloss for days, along with a wallet full of receipts from H&M. I shopped a lot but where can I say I've been? Experiences are so much more valuable than things. Going places and seeing people are excellent conversation starters and if you are looking to network you have to talk about more than what you got on your feet. If that's all your circle of people are talking about, what they have, it's time to get some new friends.
Figure things out as you go
I added a bonus lesson I learned. Just as random as it is to see this 21st lesson is just how random life in your 20s can be. When I found out I was pregnant with my son at 26, I was terrified. I cried tears of horror. Not because I didn't feel blessed, but because I didn't think I would know what to do. I read the books, I went to the classes, but when the time came for me to show all I read about, I had to learn everything from experience as it unfolded. Same thing with college. When it comes down to it, you have to be flexible and go with the flow. It isn't easy, but it's necessary.

Open Thread: Talk About What Matters Most to You
Discuss and debate the issues that mean the most to you.
When I was a sophomore in high school, I had the somewhat dubious privilege of taking a class called Christian Identity. Billed as a religion course, it was mostly just a lot of group projects about STDs (my group made a poster entitled "Mmm…herpes"), squinty analyses of Disney movies, and tween sex shockumentaries featuring girls blushingly telling the camera, "I'm a virgin -- except in my mouth."
My best friend Jenn and I spent most of that year furious with each other. She was a budding conservative who hated Jane Fonda for her anti-war sentiment in the 70s; I was a judgmental know-it-all who hated Jane Fonda for her workout videos. We spent three weeks not speaking to each other because of an argument about whether anorexia or obesity was a more serious problem in the United States.
And, maybe most damningly, I once told her that her compulsive need to wear mascara every day was an unfeminist act.
I don't remember most of our fights, but I remember this one verbatim. "Beauty magazines are a serious problem in our society," I'd told her loftily one day after a class period of analyzing "Seventeen" for anti-woman sentiment. "They give young girls misconceptions about their looks and makeup and stuff."
"They do not," she said. "I don't even read magazines and I still like to wear makeup."
"They've just permeated your consciousness," I said, patting her on the shoulder.
"I put on my mom's mascara one day and I liked the way it made my eyelashes look!" she said defensively. "No one told me to do it."
"Man, oh, man, do I feel sorry for you," I said. "You're a slave to the power and you can't even tell. You don't even know."
Things got a little hazy around then, but I'm pretty sure she hit me. And if she didn't, she probably should have.
In retrospect, the whole thing plays out like a weird, Samuel-Beckett-meets-Tom-Stoppard metaphor for the Second vs. Third Wave Feminism debate. I'm actually kind of proud of us for getting the jump on the whole "my sexuality is a choice" bandwagon before either of us had even lost our mouth-virginities.
Here's the thing, though. For a pair of 14-year-olds, this kind of black-and-white thinking is kind of excusable. But I'm getting mighty tired of the same debate swooping back twice a year among otherwise rational adults.
It seems like we can't make it through a March without grumping back and forth at each other about whether wearing makeup as women is an expression of badassery or just another way patriarchal society serves to beat us down.
This time around, a writer at Jezebel has gotten us started off by analyzing that same back-and-forth at the New York Times. Her conclusion? That it's impossible for women to wear makeup "for themselves," period.
Part of her argument hinges on the evident equation of makeup with professionalism. And I agree that in a lot of careers, it's considered unacceptable to schlub in the mornings with dark under-eye circles and a freshly picked zit-hole. But barring a few extreme exceptions, I think it's more a question of perceptible effort rather than specific cosmetic decisions that make made-up women appear more competent than their counterparts. I can't imagine, for example, an industry where jeans and a Forever 21 cardigan are acceptable work attire but you have to come in with your lip-liner shield or on it.
Of course, this is coming from someone who regularly has to brush her teeth on the walk to work, so my personal biases may be coming into play. I'm certainly not contesting that for some women, wearing makeup to work is a professional obligation, which can be indicative of an overall societal power imbalance among genders.
But the workplace is not where the entirety of real life takes place. It's not everyone's primary center for self-expression, although it certainly can be. At its mildest, it's a place to sit your ass in a cubicle or behind a counter or wherever else for 10-odd hours and exist in a productive capacity. At its wildest, it's a slack-faced bubble-climate of microaggression where a missing can opener is a perfectly legitimate excuse to conduct a companywide investigation.
Either way, using workplace standards as a synecdoche for the rest of human existence is like deciding jungle behavior based on tigers at the zoo. They may exist in the same universe, but there's no reason they have to play by the same rules.
Because of this, Jezebel's claim that wearing makeup is never a choice falls a little flat:
"As a kind of thought experiment, sure, I can imagine there are women who wear makeup truly and only 'for themselves,' who would continue to do so even absent any the miasma of social programming and cultural pressure to wear makeup, subtle and not-so-subtle, that women face in mainstream contemporary western culture. Maybe there are women who truly indeed wear makeup 'for themselves,' such that if our culture happened to transform overnight into one where the wearing of makeup by women was stigmatized, they'd continue to do it. Because it's their choice! It's just that I don't think I've ever met any of these women."
Hi. Kate Conway. Consider us met. I barely even wear makeup, and I still put on lipstick to scrub my toilet and vacuum the floor because it makes me feel glam as fuck and distracts me from the fact that I'm covered in poop-water.
I frequently stay up way too late at night and decorate my own face with cat eyes like an anime character from the nineties. Lately, I've been really into making every party a theme party, whether the hosts like it or not, and showing up with magical creature eye shadow to match.
For me, this feels like playing sexy dress-up, the same way I'll put on Halloween costumes in July and vogue around my house in a Hello Kitty hat and a bra. And if some women do wear lipstick to make themselves more desirable to others, that doesn't make their decision to do so somehow less valid or admirable than my wacky cosmetic shenanigans.
Automatically dismissing women's aesthetic decisions as symptoms of an oppressive society robs them of agency, too. These attitudes seem to be just another form of the condescension I honed so well as a 14-year-old, like the majority of women wouldn't know they were puppets of the Man unless I personally and benevolently cut the strings for them.
The modern American makeup tradition was rooted in the lipsticks and rouges of the 30s and, in a 1936 survey by "Vogue," it had the honor of being disapproved of by nearly 100% of men. We've reclaimed a hell of a lot of practices and aesthetics that began with far more dubious, misogynistic origins than those -- isn't it about time we reclaimed makeup, too?

The supporting cast is marginally better, the script is considerably worse but the NATIONAL TREASURE formula Da Vinci Code-style riddles and historically inaccurate scavenger hunts crossed with booby traps and feats of derring-do straight out of Indiana Jones remains exactly, exhaustingly the same.
A famous treasure hunter since he found the Templar's fabled treasure deep under Manhattan's Trinity Church, Ben Gates (Nicolas Cage) lectures about his great-grandfather, 19th-century code breaker Thomas Gates (Joel Gretsch), who was asked to decode a cipher found scribbled in the pages of a diary belonging to none other than John Wilkes Booth (Christian Camargo) on the night of Abraham Lincoln's assassination. With the code nearly cracked, Thomas Gates realized he was dealing with a member of the treasonous anti-Unionist cabal known as the Knights of the Golden Circle, whom conspiracy theorists now believe hoarded gold in a post-Civil War effort to overthrow the U.S. government. Ben suggests that by burning key pages from Booth's journal, his great-grandfather destroyed an important clue to some vast treasure the KGC was seeking and, consequently, saved the Union. But at the end of his lecture, Ben is confronted by Mitch Wilkinson (Ed Harris), the descendant of a Confederate general who insists that Thomas Gates was no hero, but rather the mastermind behind the assassination plot. With a flourish, Wilkinson produces his proof: a surviving fragment of the Booth diary pages listing Thomas Gates among the other conspirators. Determined to save his family's honor and perhaps uncover another legendary treasure Gate reenlists the help of his grumpy dad (Jon Voight), comically ironic sidekick, Riley Poole (Justin Bartha), and rare-documents expert Abigail Chase (Diane Kruger), who has just kicked Ben out of the home they've been sharing since the end of NATIONAL TREASURE. True to the film's form, Wilkinson's scrap of diary page contains a pale imprint of the destroyed cipher, which, once decoded, tips the team off to what the KGC was hoping to find: Cibola, the legendary ancient Native American city of gold.
In true scavenger-hunt fashion, one clue leads to another and soon the quest for Cibola leads the team first to France and London, then to Washington, D.C., where Ben hits on the bright idea of kidnapping the president (Bruce Greenwood) in order to gain access to a top-secret presidential tome containing all the best-kept state secrets Ben hopes will help in his search. Oscar-winner Helen Mirren appears as Ben's mother conveniently, she's an expert in dead Native-American languages and she's a welcome addition to the cast, but the film is otherwise a sequel by rote. It shares all the original's shortcomings it's too long and too loud and filled with historical disinformation but none of the snap that made NATIONAL TREASURE fun for kids and a guilty pleasure for some adults.

A Semester in Telemark
Nelson Franks, a Senior Business student at PLU, insists, "If anyone asked me what they have to do in college, it's study abroad." Nelson completed a semester studying business in Telemark, Norway the spring of his junior year. He describes Bø i Telemark, the program site for PLU semester programs with Telemark University College in multiple disciplines including Business, as a small and quaint Norwegian town that is uniquely outdoorsy. He was looking for a program in business that would acquaint him with international perspectives and was happy to report that the program in Telemark delivered a rich variety of approaches to business. "I loved my classes; it was like what I'd been taught before but from someone else's point of view."
The business program in Telemark provides PLU students not only with a Norwegian approach to business but the perspectives of students from many countries as Telemark University College hosts international students from various European countries and other parts of the globe. Nelson was even able to participate in a study excursion to Krakow, Poland through one of his classes at TUC. "It was fantastic, me and thirty Norwegian students, in Krakow listening to different business leaders present at a conference." He says the program was a "perfect opportunity to catch the travel bug" and hopes to use his experience in Norway to springboard into a career in business that is truly international.

Both Sides Of The Kit
As the name implies, Both Sides of the Kit is a podcast that explores drumming from multiple perspectives. Issues surrounding drums and drummers will be approached through casual and informative interviews.
Our guests will certainly include a wide variety of drummers, but we will also talk to bar owners, booking agents, legal and medical professionals, other musicians, and anyone else who influences drummers...or is influenced by them!
Our goal is to talk to people who can give us insight into the "drumming lifestyle", and share their answers and opinions with you.
Tony B.
Tony Bouma ("Tony B.") is a drummer, martial artist and painter living in Southwestern Ontario. In his 24-plus years behind the kit, he has backed numerous rock, blues and country acts on a local and regional level.
Although primarily a "rock guy", his taste in music is wide-ranging and open. His list of favourite drummers is long and constantly changing.
Working at a very demanding day job limits Tony's ability to play as often as he would like. Needing to find another outlet for his drumming muse, he coerced his friend Dennis into starting a drumming-related podcast!
A perennial student, it is Tony's hope that "Both Sides of the Kit" will provide information and inspiration to drummers of all ages and skill levels.
Dennis Ryckman
Dennis Ryckman has been a recording engineer and music producer for almost 25 years. He has been a guitarist, singer and songwriter for over 30 years, performing professionally over the last 18.

The Outcome and Assessment Information Set (OASIS) is a group of standard data elements developed, tested and refined over the past two decades through an extensive research and demonstration program funded largely by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the New York State Department of Health. The OASIS data elements are designed to enable systematic comparative measurement of home health care patient outcomes at two points in time in adult skilled Medicare and Medicaid, non-maternity home health care patients. Outcome measures are the basis for outcome-based quality improvement (OBQI) efforts that home health agencies (HHAs) can employ to assess and improve the quality of care they provide to patients. An example of an OASIS-based outcome measure is whether a patient improves in the ability to ambulate between home health start of care and discharge, with ambulation ability measured according to a precise zero-to-five scale (as indicated by the OASIS ambulation item).
A new version of OASIS, OASIS-C, was implemented in January, 2010. It represents the most comprehensive revision to OASIS since its original release in 1999. OASIS-C items were created to increase clarity in measurement, replace items being eliminated from the previous version of OASIS,
and measure processes of care through the use of assessment tools (included in a comprehensive assessment) or the planning and delivery of specific clinical interventions.
The OASIS was not intended to be a comprehensive assessment instrument. Instead, OASIS data items are collected at start of care, 60-day follow-ups and discharge (and surrounding an inpatient-facility stay) and are incorporated into a comprehensive patient assessment. Home health agencies (HHAs) will find it necessary to supplement the OASIS items in order to comprehensively assess the health status and care needs of patients. For example, the OASIS does not include vital signs which are a common part of a patient assessment.
OASIS patient assessment data collected by the HHAs and submitted to the State of Ohio at the specific time points listed above in accordance with federal regulations serve to meet the quality reporting requirements necessary for CMS to administer HHA payment rate methodologies. HHA's
that do not comply with the OASIS reporting requirements are liable for a reduction in their reimbursement rate. Additionally, some of the OASIS items submitted to the state will be reflected on the Home Health Compare website. Home Health Compare can be used to review the performance of agencies in a specific area, help HHAs identify opportunities for quality improvement, as well as answer patient's questions and educate them about their choices.
