Giant Boxing Robots Will Finally Be a Real Thing on Syfy
For as long as man has dreamed of the mechanical age, humanity itself has faced only one truly pressing question: how long will it be until we can watch giant robots beating the sprockets out of one another? That age is nearly upon us, as 'Robot Combat League' will soon dawn on Syfy! No mere wheeled contraption hacking away at another, 'Robot Combat League' will feature the long-dreamt of 8-foot tall 'bots smashing one another with their 'Real Steel' fists, but how long until we see them in action?
Robot enthusiasts, your day has come! For no longer do we need to work for the advancement of science, but rather for man's designs to smash the hell out of one another in a giant arena. According to Entertainment Weekly, Syfy has officially greenlit a first season of 'Robot Combat League,' a first of its kind challenge to feature giant user-controlled humanoid robots boxing one another.
Debuting on February 26 and hosted by WWE wrestler and 'Dancing With the Stars' contestant Chris Jericho, the series will feature competition between teams of mechanics and "shadowboxing" fighters, competing for a prize of $100,000. Each robot will have its own unique name and design, which provides certain weaknesses and strengths. The only limiting factor of the competition lies in a stabilizing bar attached to the back of each robot, which Syfy president Mark Stern hopes to one day eliminate.
"It has always been our desire — and it's really come around perennially — to update and do 'Battle Bots' for the new century," says Stern. "Can we do 'Real Steel?' Are we at a place where you can do real bipedal robots? Every time we tried to to do it [the project] was stymied by the technology. Up until we actually saw them in the ring fighting, we didn't think it would work. We've had robots decapitated, we've had robots cut in half. It was truly spectacular."
You can take a look at another photo below, and head over to Entertainment Weekly for additional details on 'Robot Combat League.' Tell us if the future is everything you hoped in the comments!

Dolce & Gabbana's A/W 2012 star prints is taking over the fashion world. We've seen them on celebrities like Jessica Alba, Anne Hathaway, and Kim Kardashian. The collection is now available at Aïshti boutique in the Avenues. Honestly? I'm not crazy over this star-patterned clutch, witch is priced at KD 253. And I'm definitely not going to sepnd KD 160 on this star patterned skirt, even though it looked really nice when I tried it on. It's just I think I'd rather spend my money on items that I reeeeally want from my Fall's wish-list.
This clutch is my favourite :) http://shu84.blogspot.com

Lyttelton Braima, Sierra Leone
Master in International Development Policy, Duke University
Lyttelton always dreamt of becoming a banker. After completing undergraduate studies in neighboring Liberia, he returned home to a ruined nation where communities had been virtually destroyed by war. Touched by the devastation of his own village, he decided that his economics degree could be more meaningful if put to use to lift people out of the ashes of the civil war. Thus, Lyttelton began to work for Care International as program officer for the Rights Based Approach program sector from 2002 to 2006, planning and implementation of community empowerment projects. These interventions led to greater awareness on rights, regular interaction with local government bodies, and collective action by communities on several fronts. Lyttelton joined the World Bank as program officer in 2008. As a research economist, he has conducted series of analytical studies on post war governance and justice issues with a view to understand the policy environment, and shape the discussion in a way that makes reforms fair and equitable for poor sections of the society. Findings from these studies are currently helping Sierra Leone's local level justice reform and decentralization program.

Pranisa Ekachote, Thailand
Master in International Development Policy, Duke University
Born and raised in Thailand, Pranisa grows her interest of relationship between security – both human and physical security – and development through her career with a Bangkok-based security consulting and risk assessment firm. The firm has given her a first hand understanding of the Southern insurgency. She is required to closely monitor the situation in Southern Thailand, where unequal development policies and a lack of government accountability have allowed civilian grievances to evolve into an Islamic insurgency. Pranisa believes that the insurgency is an avoidable tragedy that demonstrates the link between equitable development policies and security. Understanding the links between these two fields is important to addressing countless global security challenges caused by cultural and religious differences. By studying in this area of interest, Pranisa hopes to improve her understanding of the links between security and development to create a lasting peace in Southern Thailand. Her hope is to become a public servant to promote conflict resolution in the South and also at the national level, because politics are also dividing the country.

During school vacations, Tekle-Ab accompanied his sister, a community nurse, when she traveled to rural health centers in Gondar, Ethiopia. Her team examined children and pregnant women and helped women in labor. Since then, he dreamt of becoming a doctor. As a result of a national uprising in 1974 in Ethiopia, the university where Tekle-Ab studied was closed. However, he was selected for a scholarship to study medicine in St. Petersburg, Russia and later pursued specialty training in maternal and neonatal health. After serving as a physician, his career led him to join a research organization called the Population Council. He was then able to see the health problems of the rural population and this influenced him to step out of his day-to-day clinical work and see the big picture in public health. Programs that were led by Tekle-Ab focused on improving the reproductive health (RH) and livelihood status of adolescent girls and women in Ethiopia. For Tekle-Ab, it has been satisfying to see how research influences policy by providing evidence based research to decision-makers who need facts at hand to develop cost-effective and appropriately designed interventions that can be replicated. Upon completion of the Rotary World Peace Program, Tekle-Ab will pursue a career within maternal and child health. This will help him produce and promote evidence based findings for policy change in maternal and child health. At the same time, this opportunity will enable him to become a public health expert in general and a leader in international maternal health in particular.

Aybolek was educated at the Turkmen State University majoring in English and Literature. This allowed her to gain work experience in various interesting fields and expanded her scope of interest. She enjoyed working as a teacher of English at school where she developed more patience, perseverance, and drive for results. All these attitudes have helped her greatly in her future career path. Working in the oil and gas industry was a great opportunity for her to sharpen her skills and also learn to operate in a completely different environment. Currently Aybolek is an active member of the U.S. Embassy in Ashgabat where she works on implementing the Export Control and Border Security Program (EXBS). This program gave her an insight to the international development area. Collaboration with her colleagues on daily basis at the international, national and regional level provided an understanding and concern over the territory and natural resources, in particular the use of water in Amu-Darya River Basin. This issue is particularly close to Aybolek's heart because she was born and raised in the north of Turkmenistan, where conflict exists. Aybolek truly believes that after gaining Peace and Conflict Resolutions skills as well as expand her understanding on the region through different prospective, she will join the international organizations and contribute her skills to urge the international community with the Turkmen government into the resolution of this issue. In particular, Aybolek is planning to join UN projects working in the region and be able to impact the resolution of the dispute between Central Asian countries.

Luiz is a Computer Scientist, specialized in business management, who strongly advocates for sustainable development in the Brazilian Amazon. As General Coordinator for the Suppliers Development Network (REDES) at the Federation of Industries of Pará State for the last seven years, he has been working to ensure that national and multinational corporations implementing large-scale infrastructure projects in the Brazilian Amazon hire local professionals and purchase goods and services from local suppliers, thus creating local jobs, generating local income, and promoting local economic development. Luiz strongly believes that without local community development there is no development at all. Upon completion of the Rotary World Peace Program, Luiz intends to return to the Brazilian Amazon to resume his work and activism in support of local suppliers and communities. He is certain that the world-class training at the Duke-UNC Rotary Peace Center will enable him to prevent development-related conflict and to make a greater difference for the benefit of local communities in the Brazilian Amazon region.

Hai-Ryung has been involved in many different healthcare projects around the world. She worked in MediPeace (a humanitarian medical NGO) as a program officer. She has worked in the Maritime Province of Russia for primary health care. By interacting with Koruyin (ethnic Koreans in the post-Soviet states) and helping them with basic care, she realized that these people weren't getting enough attention from the Russian government. The lack of awareness of the government and the lack of governance of these people was alarming. In China, she also was not only involved in improving the sanitary needs of the rural countryside, but also in helping develop the medical system to what it is today. She is especially interested in the reduction in child mortality and improvement in maternal health in Africa and developing countries. After the fellowship, she is going to contribute to the efforts of providing visionary global public health leadership in vulnerable populations by mobilizing governments, international organization and NGOs.

BlogSpot: Understanding Criminal Tactics is Critical to Tackling Cyber Crime
About the author
We don't need statistics to tell us that cyber crime is one of the biggest challenges facing modern society. There are various figures that highlight the extent of cyber crime - for instance, the US government estimates put the total cost to the world economy at $250bn to $1trillion annually. Other reports have estimated the cost to the UK economy at £27bn per annum.
Whether you believe these figures or not, the fact of the matter is the cyber crime is the major form of crime. Chances are that you, yourself, or someone you know has been the victim of cyber crime. And whatever the cost to the economy, the emotional and personal impact of being a victim of a crime cannot be easily measured.
Today sees the launch of the National Cyber Crime Unit in the UK - a development aimed at consolidating existing national efforts into a coherent response to those exploiting cyber space for criminal purposes. Such consolidated responses are important as criminals already use the Internet to not only target victims but also plan their activities and conduct their "business". You may have heard of the "dark web" or the recent news about closure of "silk road" - an online market place used to trade illegal goods and services. These are just examples of how the Internet is exploited by criminals, whether individuals or groups.
So what should be our priorities if we are to tackle this new and growing wave of criminality? In addition to consolidating efforts as is being done by the NCCU, it is also very important to understand how criminal tactics change and evolve. It is well-known that criminals change their tactics to avoid detection by law enforcement - it is even more so in the case of cyber crime as tactics can be adapted more easily, the typology of victims to be targeted can be varied and the crime is not limited to a particular geographical region - effectively, the whole world is accessible given the rise in Internet connectivity for households, rise of online social media and mobile on-the-go access to the Internet.
Instead of playing catch up, we need to be able to understand from where future threats might emerge and develop strategies and technologies to counter those threats. Equally important is to understand the economic models utilised by criminals online and the techniques and tactics used to mask the online footprint of their activities. This cannot be done by law enforcement in isolation.
A further consolidation of effort is needed through partnership with academia and industry - whereby new insights and solutions can support the efforts of law enforcement in tackling cyber crime. This is critical so that the Internet and the various technologies and services it supports are not only safer for us to interact with others and engage in business but also for future generations.

The College of Saint Rose
The College of Saint Rose has the values and character of a private, liberal arts college with the array of opportunities of a premiere large university all in the heart of Albany, New York's Capital City. Premiere facilities are a hallmark of Saint Rose with the Lally School of Education, Massry Center for the Arts, Hearst Center for Communications and Interactive Media, Plumeri Sports Complex, Huether School of Business and Centennial Hall (apartment-style residence hall) all built within the last decade and many buildings receiving complete renovations including the Science Center, Events and Athletics Center and Dining Hall.
The College of Saint Rose is a dynamic, comprehensive college of nearly 4,500 students under the direction of a newly appointed President with the vision to move the College to national prominence. The College is ranked #41 in the 2015 edition of U.S. News - Best Colleges, Regional Universities (North). In addition, the College was named to President Obama's Honor Roll for Community Service in 2011, 2012, and 2013.
It also is an award-winning employer; the College is a seven time recipient of the Chronicle of Higher Education's prestigious "Great Colleges to Work For" award. Billboard magazine, in its 2013 guide to the top music business programs in the nation, named The College of Saint Rose one of just 35 "Schools that Rock Enroll," and one of only three in the northeast, for its innovative music industry program. The Art Directors Club of New York (ADC) has selected Saint Rose as one of the "top graphic design schools in the country."
With a rigorous liberal education curriculum, 70 undergraduate majors, and a mission of service to the urban community, students have many ways to discover what makes them fulfilled and passionate. Starting before the first week of classes, incoming freshmen can choose from three early arrival immersion programs in the arts, social justice and service, or an outdoor experience building team and leadership skills. Seven accelerated dual degrees enable students to complete their bachelors and masters degrees in five years while retaining their undergraduate financial aid.
With a student faculty ratio of 13:1, no teaching assistants, and an average class size of 17, students are mentored by full-time faculty who are at Saint Rose because first and foremost they want to teach in a personalized learning environment. More than 96 percent of professors have the highest degrees in their fields and engage in dynamic research with undergraduate students. Students present their findings at an annual research symposium and publish in the Colleges Journal of Undergraduate Research. Undergraduates co-author research papers that appear in scholarly journals and present their findings at national conferences, often gathering honors. In 2012, nine students presented at the 2011 National Council of Undergraduate Research (NCUR) Conference.
Majors, from business to education, from communications to social work, also require semester-long internships, student-teaching, or clinical practices. Students are placed in multinational corporations, entrepreneurial firms, research hospitals, non-profit organizations, government agencies and school districts in Albany, New York City, Atlanta, Boston, Washington D.C. Many students do a study abroad experience including an internship with recent placements in England, Ireland and Argentina. Many graduates are employed directly from their internship with employers preferring to hire Saint Rose graduates because they have the specific technical skills, the ability to write and analyze quickly, and a strong work ethic.
Recent Saint Rose graduates are employed at numerous schools, colleges & companies, including the American Red Cross, Astra-Zeneca, Centers for Disease Control, Converse, DreamWorks Animation, IBM, Houghton-Mifflin, Lehman Brothers, Bank of America, Fox Broadcasting, Goldman Sachs, Hallmark Corp., Hearst Newspapers, KPMG, MasterCard Worldwide, MTV Networks, Sand Diego Padres, United States Environmental Protection Agency, United States District Court, Yamaha Corporation, World Health Organization and the VH-1 Network. Our graduates have continued their studies at prestigious universities including Carnegie Mellon University, Columbia University, Dartmouth Medical School, Duke Medical School, Georgetown Law School, Harvard, Notre Dame, NYU Law School, Tufts Medical School and Yale University. In the most recent Career Center survey, 93% of graduates were employed and 90% said they would attend Saint Rose again. Many commented on the value of the Saint Rose experience saying that their net cost was comparable to a public university while the outcomes of their education were more powerful than those of friends at private elite colleges often double or triple the cost of Saint Rose.
In this global economy, the College is also committed to giving students opportunities for gaining knowledge about the many different cultures and subcultures in our world. The Center for Intercultural Leadership and the Center for International Programs are places where students can learn from each other and have gathering spaces that feel comfortable for them.
The College has 37,000 living alumni residing in all 50 states, as well as Guam, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, and in 26 countries; 29,000 of the living alumni reside in Northeastern New York.

We know what mischief dire he wrought--
Rome fired, the Fathers slain--
Whose hand with brother's slaughter wet
A mother's blood did stain.
No pitying tear his cheek bedewed,
As on the corse he gazed;
That mother's beauty, once so fair,
A critic's voice appraised.
Yet far and wide, from East to West,
His sway the nations own;
And scorching South and icy North
Obey his will alone.
Did, then, high power a curb impose
On Nero's phrenzied will?
Ah, woe when to the evil heart
Is joined the sword to kill!
Then said I: 'Thou knowest thyself that ambition for worldly success hath but little swayed me. Yet I have desired opportunity for action, lest virtue, in default of exercise, should languish away.'
Then she: 'This is that "last infirmity" which is able to allure minds which, though of noble quality, have not yet been moulded to any exquisite refinement by the perfecting of the virtues--I mean, the love of glory--and fame for high services rendered to the commonweal. And yet consider with me how poor and unsubstantial a thing this glory is! The whole of this earth's globe, as thou hast learnt from the demonstration of astronomy, compared with the expanse of heaven, is found no bigger than a point; that is to say, if measured by the vastness of heaven's sphere, it is held to occupy absolutely no space at all. Now, of this so insignificant portion of the universe, it is about a fourth part, as Ptolemy's proofs have taught us, which is inhabited by living creatures known to us. If from this fourth part you take away in thought all that is usurped by seas and marshes, or lies a vast waste of waterless desert, barely is an exceeding narrow area left for human habitation. You, then, who are shut in and prisoned in this merest fraction of a point's space, do ye take thought for the blazoning of your fame, for the spreading abroad of your renown? Why, what amplitude or magnificence has glory when confined to such narrow and petty limits?
'Besides, the straitened bounds of this scant dwelling-place are inhabited by many nations differing widely in speech, in usages, in mode of life; to many of these, from the difficulty of travel, from diversities of speech, from want of commercial intercourse, the fame not only of individual men, but even of cities, is unable to reach. Why, in Cicero's days, as he himself somewhere points out, the fame of the Roman Republic had not yet crossed the Caucasus, and yet by that time her name had grown formidable to the Parthians and other nations of those parts. Seest thou, then, how narrow, how confined, is the glory ye take pains to spread abroad and extend! Can the fame of a single Roman penetrate where the glory of the Roman name fails to pass? Moreover, the customs and institutions of different races agree not together, so that what is deemed praise worthy in one country is thought punishable in another. Wherefore, if any love the applause of fame, it shall not profit him to publish his name among many peoples. Then, each must be content to have the range of his glory limited to his own people; the splendid immortality of fame must be confined within the bounds of a single race.
'Once more, how many of high renown in their own times have been lost in oblivion for want of a record! Indeed, of what avail are written records even, which, with their authors, are overtaken by the dimness of age after a somewhat longer time? But ye, when ye think on future fame, fancy it an immortality that ye are begetting for yourselves. Why, if thou scannest the infinite spaces of eternity, what room hast thou left for rejoicing in the durability of thy name? Verily, if a single moment's space be compared with ten thousand years, it has a certain relative duration, however little, since each period is definite. But this same number of years--ay, and a number many times as great--cannot even be compared with endless duration; for, indeed, finite periods may in a sort be compared one with another, but a finite and an infinite never. So it comes to pass that fame, though it extend to ever so wide a space of years, if it be compared to never-lessening eternity, seems not short-lived merely, but altogether nothing. But as for you, ye know not how to act aright, unless it be to court the popular breeze, and win the empty applause of the multitude--nay, ye abandon the superlative worth of conscience and virtue, and ask a recompense from the poor words of others. Let me tell thee how wittily one did mock the shallowness of this sort of arrogance. A certain man assailed one who had put on the name of philosopher as a cloak to pride and vain-glory, not for the practice of real virtue, and added: "Now shall I know if thou art a philosopher if thou bearest reproaches calmly and patiently." The other for awhile affected to be patient, and, having endured to be abused, cried out derisively: "_Now_, do you see that I am a philosopher?" The other, with biting sarcasm, retorted: "I should have hadst thou held thy peace." Moreover, what concern have choice spirits--for it is of such men we speak, men who seek glory by virtue--what concern, I say, have these with fame after the dissolution of the body in death's last hour? For if men die wholly--which our reasonings forbid us to believe--there is no such thing as glory at all, since he to whom the glory is said to belong is altogether non-existent. But if the mind, conscious of its own rectitude, is released from its earthly prison, and seeks heaven in free flight, doth it not despise all earthly things when it rejoices in its deliverance from earthly bonds, and enters upon the joys of heaven?'

New Delhi: Performance of most of the 57 Independent Lok Sabha candidates from Delhi was dismal with the exception of beauty queen Ruby Yadav from South Delhi and two namesakes of West Delhi`s AAP candidate Jarnail Singh.
Most of them not only lost but even got lesser votes than the number of people who opted for `None Of The Above`. A total of 39,368 people, i.E. 0.5 per cent of the total voters opted for NOTA during elections in the seven Lok Sabha seats.
The largest number of Independent candidates, 13 in total, were in fray from the prestigious New Delhi Lok Sabha seat where BJP`s Meenakshi Lekhi defeated AAP candidate Ashish Khetan by a margin of 1,62,708 votes.
Among the Independents from there, Ravi Kumar got 20,028 votes followed by Rubina Khan with 1,260 votes. All the remaining 11 got votes in three figures.
The second highest number of Independent candidates was from South Delhi Parliamentary seat where 10 of them had filed nominations including blonde hair beauty Ruby Yadav who had won the `Mrs India Queen` title in December last year.
She not only caught everyone`s attention during her campaign but also bagged 56,749 votes to finish fourth with BJP`s Ramesh Bidhuri on the top.
In Chandni Chowk constituency, as many as 8 Independent candidates including a namesake of AAP`s candidate Ashutosh were in the fray. While the real Ashutosh bagged 3,01,618 votes to finish second behind BJP`s Harsh Vardhan, his namesake could only garner 4,504 votes. Another Independent Dildar Hussain Beg bagged 28,605 votes.
In North East Delhi constituency, where BJP candidate and Bhojpuri actor-singer Manoj Tiwari defeated Anand Kumar of AAP by a margin of 1,44,084 votes, there were eight Independent candidates in the poll ring but none of them could get a sizable chunk of votes.
The most interesting scenario cropped up in West Delhi seat, where AAP candidate Jarnail Singh alleged that two other candidates sharing his name had cost him the seat as their presence in the fray confused the voters.
Although Singh lost to BJP`s Pravesh Verma by a margin of 2,68,586 votes, he claimed that the other two Jarnail Singhs -- who together bagged 90,682 votes -- queered the pitch for him. A total of six Independent candidates were in the fray from the seat.
In East Delhi and North West Delhi seats, there were six Independent candidates each in the poll arena but none of them could get more than some thousand votes.

Remember that thing nerds like me used to say about the Star Trek films? How the even numbered ones were great and the odd numbers were rubbish? There's an almost similar, see-saw effect in Josh Beckett's career with the Red Sox. When he first came to us in 2006, he went a rather unremarkable 16-11, prompting many of us to wonder if his body was somehow hijacked by Danny Darwin. The following year, he was all shotguns and lightning, going 20-7 and almost untouchable in the postseason. He followed that up in 2008 with another swoon: 12-10 with a 4.03 ERA. But he bounced back last season, going 17-6 and punching out an escaped yak on Comm. Ave (never proven, but I'm convinced it happened).
So, if you buy into the Star Trek analogy (and I'm not sure Theo would, as he always seemed more of a Space:1999 guy to me) and its up-and-down trending, 2010 looks set to be another tough year for Josh. But there are a number of reasons to believe this could be one of Beckett's most dominating seasons in a Boston uniform:
First and foremost, it's a contract year, and he wants to get paid. So every W, every K, every time he smacks Jorge Posada in the nuts with some inside heat will be like money in the bank. And nothing motivates a guy like the thought of bags of cash, unless it's bags of cash in a convertible driven by Jessica Alba and Mila Kunis. Also, having fellow Texan and John Lackey in the fold will no doubt keep the fires of anger stoked in Young Josh. In fact, I can imagine the two of them adopting a pre-game psych-up of punching themselves repeatedly in the nuts. They just seem like those kind of fellas.
If he can put up numbers more like 2007 Josh than 2006 Josh, and when you consider the type of dollars being thrown at starting pitchers like Sabathia and — god help us — Barry Zito, then there's no way Commander Kick Ass doesn't make a run to become one of the highest paid pitchers — if not the highest paid pitcher — in baseball. Hell, even if he throws up some 2008 numbers, he'll still command more cash for his next contract than the gross-national product of Mongolia.
The question is, will the Red Sox pay? Remember, we gave him his first contract extension back in 2006, when he was pitching like a guy who got bit by a radioactive Pat Rapp. At the time, Theo said he thought the Commander's best days were ahead of him. Can that still be said in 2011, and would the Sox want to get tangled up in Beckett through, say, 2015, even with four strong, non-Beckett arms already in the fold in Lackey, Matsuzaka, Lester and Buchholz, and a lot of promising young pitching talent on the rise?
It's an interesting question. One that will become even more interesting if Beckett goes on an ungodly campaign of terror in 2010, turning opposing batters to powder and re-establishing himself as the uncontested ace of the Red Sox staff.
Myself, I'd be more than happy to keep Commander Kick Ass in Boston. But it ain't my money.

As you might have noticed from the deluge of traffic slowing down the site this week, the AfterEllen.com Hot 100 List is a big hit — both with lesbian/bisexual women, and the rest of the world. People have been coming from miles around to see who the lesbians think are hot, and for the most part, the reception's been pretty positive, even though almost no one agrees with all the women on the list. I for one would only have put one of these three women on the list — can you guess which one? (Here's a hint: her name rhymes with "Sarah Shahi.")
There was a negative comment made by a straight guy named Jeff on our list, and AfterEllen.com reader ysubassoon posted a very funny reply entitled "We are under no obligation to cater to you" (her title alone made me laugh) that started off with this paragraph:
Ysubassoon is right, of course — while we welcome straight readers on AfterEllen.com, we care primarily about what lesbian and bi women think — but nonetheless, I've found it interesting to watch the reception the AfterEllen.com Hot 100 List has been getting outside of the AfterEllen.com community. It's been heartening to discover that quite a lot of straight men agree with the women you all chose, and often even prefer them over the women on Maxim's list.
I've kept track of some of the more interesting, encouraging, and amusing comments made by straight men (they're straight men as far as I can tell, anyway) about our list, and I'm providing them here for your amusement, complete with original spelling mistakes:
So what can we take away from these insightful observations?
1) straight men and lesbians may have a lot more in common than we think when it comes to women

Will the landing be soft or hard?
That's the question facing both the Federal Reserve and President-elect George W. Bush as they watch the economy wobble down to a speed much lower than the 4 to 5 percent growth rate of the late 1990s.
The economy has slowed abruptly, considerably faster than anticipated. Though most forecasters still expect a comfortable soft landing for business, concern is rising rapidly that a combination of layoffs, tumbling stock market, steep oil prices, slipping retail sales, and weaker corporate profits could snowball into a recession.
That's why Federal Reserve policymakers, when they meet Tuesday, should cut interest rates by 0.25 percentage points as a "preemptive" move, given the time lag such moves have on the economy.
The Fed first put on the brakes in June 1999. Since then it has raised rates five more times, each time 0.25 percentage points. That tightening was portrayed as a preemptive move against inflation. Real interest rates are now at a 13-year high and are one of several drags on the economy.
Consumers, faced with those interest rates and high-energy costs, are losing confidence. A plurality of Americans - 43 percent according to a Wall Street Journal/NBC news poll - foresee a recession next year. Retail sales are slower than what merchants hoped for this holiday season.
And inflation seems tame. Producer prices rose a mere 0.1 percent in November. Economists are again talking of deflationary trends.
Few Fed watchers expect the bank to lower the rate now, though. Most figure the central bank will simply move in its policy statement from billing inflation as the prime risk in the economy to a "neutral" position.
It won't be terrible if the Fed waits until January to act. Economic forecasting is an art, not a science. But we would rather see a cautious shift now.
So, undoubtedly, would Mr. Bush. Even before naming a Treasury secretary or asking Congress to pass a tax cut, he's warning about an economic slowdown. He and Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan have a mutual interest in a soft landing.

From Glenview, Illinois:
My daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes almost a year ago. She is very active, playing travel soccer, skating, and tennis. At first, exercise used to make her blood glucose go lower but, lately, oftentimes it raises her blood glucose level. This does not seem to make sense since she is active and using lots of energy. What are the factors that help determine if exercise will make a diabetic go higher or lower? We know that she should not exercise if her blood sugar is above 300 mg/dl [16.7 mmol/L].
Typically, exercise that is aerobic (using oxygen) in nature (i.e., running, cycling, and swimming) and is done over a period of time will tend to lower one's blood sugar. Athletes who exercise longer than they are used to may experience low blood sugar, especially in the 24 hours following exercise.
Exercise can cause blood sugars to rise, too. Anaerobic exercise (without oxygen), such as sprinting or resistance training, can cause blood sugars to rise. Anything recognized as a stress to the body will cause hormonal activity releasing stress hormones (i.e., cortisol, adrenaline, growth hormone) signaling the liver to release glycogen. This glycogen, that is the stored form of glucose, circulates into the blood stream, increasing blood sugar.

9th November 2012
A 'letter of intent' from the Department of Children and Youth Affairs has confirmed that all staff who transfer to the new Children and Family Support Agency next year will retain their existing pay and conditions, including pension entitlements, without any break in service.
The commitment was originally won by IMPACT in discussions with the department, which has now confirmed it to an independent facilitator who is working with the union and management to deal with issues arising from the transfer of staff working with children and families.
The union has sought clarification on a number of other issues related to the new agency, which is to be established in January. Management has told the union that it is undertaking a census of staff who it thinks will transfer to the agency.
IMPACT is arranging meetings for various groups of staff involved including residential and community social care workers, social workers, administrative staff and family support workers. The Government is yet to decide whether other professional groups will be direct employees of the new agency.
IMPACT official Christina Carney said the union was discussing these and range of staff-related issues in the run-up to the establishment of the agency. "I assure all members that IMPACT continues to protect the conditions and rights of members. Staff will be treated with the respect they deserve," she said.

OPERA Interface, Inventory Tracking, Digital Signature
Storage Highlight Enhancements
ANGELES June 20, 2007 GoConcierge.net, maker of GoConcierge, the lodging
industrys leading Web-based guest service operations system, will introduce
an advanced version of its application at HITEC on June 25-28 (booth 931).
The event will be held at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando.
Enhancements include an interface with MICROS Systems Inc.s OPERA Property
Management System (PMS), an inventory tracking tool, and the ability to
store signatures digitally.
The interface with OPERA was developed to meet Hotel Technology Next Generation (HTNG) specifications. With the new interface, a concierge is able to activate the guestroom telephone message light, view the guest profile and be alerted to any changes to a guest reservation. Likewise, when someone using GoConcierge enters a cancellation, it is visible in the PMS.
The OPERA interface is a huge addition to GoConcierge, says Adam Isrow, Executive Vice President of Los Angeles-based GoConcierge.net. We believe interfacing to the property management system is just another way we can provide value to our clients. The interface will save valuable time, revenue, and add additional efficiencies to a hotels overall operations.
Because of the interface, guest service personnel will have the ability to add actionable notes in the PMS. If a package arrives for a guest at the concierge desk, the concierge will enter a note in the PMS, activating the guests message light. A record of that task is also stored in GoConcierge simultaneously. Also, thanks to the interface, a concierge wishing to look up a guests record in GoConcierge need only type in the room number or partial name to populate the name field.
Online Inventory Tracking Tool
All types of hotelslimited service to luxuryhave a system in place, usually involving log books, to track items given to guests to use during their stay. These items may include DVDs, umbrellas, cabanas, cell phone chargers or myriad other items. When guests return the items, it is cumbersome to have to page through a log book to record the return. What GoConcierge has done is create an online system that makes it easy to track inventory.
With this new tool, anything can be tracked, Isrow says. It gives any department in the hotel the ability to see what is in or out of stock and who has an item. It can be used by housekeeping to track rollaway beds or by engineering to track light bulbs. Because the database is online, it can be accessed by multiple departments at the same time.
GoConcierge has also added the capability to store a signature digitally. Hotel guests typically sign for tickets, packages or other items on paper that needs to be filed. The signature pad captures the signature for storage within GoConcierge. It can then be printed or e-mailed.
Like all of the other features that are part of GoConcierge, this new addition was developed to help make hotel operations as efficient and paperless as possible, Isrow says. At a time when hotels are focused on minimizing the amount of paper used, this is a great way to add efficiencies.
GoConcierges Guest Task Calendar already is used by concierges and other departments in approximately 400 hotels in 16 countries covering four continents to track guest requests and reservations, packages, lost and found items, and much more. The calendars color coding makes it easy to identify open, pending and closed tasks. Instead of taking minutes to locate a reservation or note, it takes just seconds. GoConcierge is also used to generate personalized itineraries, point-to-point driving directions, and acts as a database for area restaurants and other attractions. Reports generated from the online system can be used to track amenities, lost and found items, outstanding tasks, the amount of business volume sent to a vendor, and employee productivity.
GoConcierge is a smart solution for any area of a hotel that impacts guest service, Isrow says. Being Web-based, it can be accessed from anywhere and nothing needs to be placed on the hotel servers or network. It also reduces the number of calls between departments, eliminates paper waste, and enables hotel staff to spend more time with guests. It is an exceptional tool that generates exceptional results.

On Saturday I went to a conference for people involved in children's ministry. It's an annual event - I went last year and then wrote this post about helping children to transition from kids church into the life of the big church.
This year's keynote speaker spoke in passing about the transition topic and said that in his church, at the end of primary school, he was taken aside (the end of his time in Sunday School) and asked, "Now that you are finishing up with Sunday School and moving to church, what do you think you would like to do to serve the church?" He gave an answer and over the next three years was taken under the relevant person's wing and trained up for that particular area of service. By the time he was into his last couple of years of high school he was a fully functional, serving member of his church and has never looked back.
He assumed, as he grew up, that this is what all churches did (and do.) But they don't.
It's so simple. It's so obvious that it seems almost silly to even mention it. And yet I am so glad he said it in all its simplicity.
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Today, the Supreme Court issued its decision in Kasten v. Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics Corp. (No. 09-834). The Court determined that oral complaints can form the basis for retaliation claims under the Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA"). The FLSA does not permit employers "to discharge . . . any employee because such employee has filed any complaint." Traditionally, the term "filed" was read by courts to mean that employees had to actually put their employer on notice with a written complaint. In Kasten, the Supreme Court determined that an employee's verbal complaint regarding the placement of time clocks was enough to form the basis for a retaliation claim.
The Court's decision increases the likelihood of employers facing retaliation lawsuits brought pursuant to the FLSA. Retaliation claims related to other employment statutes have been steadily increasing in the past few years. According to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ("EEOC"), retaliation claims rose from 18,198 filed in 1997 to 36,258 filed in 2010. Attorneys for plaintiffs also tend to assert retaliation claims in cases involving discrimination and harassment. Expect the same tactic in lawsuits brought for violations of the wage and hour provisions of the FLSA.
The FLSA permits employees to file civil lawsuits or to file complaints with the Department of Labor. The Supreme Court declined to definitively state that its decision applies to complaints made to employers or governmental agencies. The Court did state, "To fall within the scope of the antiretaliation provision, a complaint must be sufficiently clear and detailed for a reasonable employer to understand it . . . ." Because this test specifically uses the term "employer," courts are likely to construe the Kasten decision as authorizing retaliation claims against private employers. The FLSA defines an employer as "any person acting directly or indirectly in the interest of an employer in relation to an employee." This is a broad definition and means that verbal complaints made to supervisors and managers will be treated as being made to the employer. It also means employees will attempt to bring retaliation claims directly against supervisors and managers.

Outdoor education
Christ Church's outdoor education program develops the character and skills of boys. Challenge, initiative, self-reliance, leadership, teamwork, responsibility, healthy risk-taking, communal living and environmental care are all promoted through annual camps for boys from Years 5 to 10.
The program is aligned with the School's 'Phases of Learning', matching the age and stages of development with appropriate experiences to challenge the boys. These camps are a compulsory part of the curriculum and the cost is incorporated into the inclusive fee structure.
Year 5 Earthkeepers
Boys begin their outdoor education journey in Year 5 at the School's Kooringal campus near Dwellingup. To ensure the boys are prepared and get the most out of the experience, the camp is based around the Earthkeepers project that begins in the classroom. Earthkeepers engages the boys 'heads, hearts and hands' in understanding the natural world.
Year 6
This three-day camp, held at Kooringal, promotes the theme of co-operation and offers more adventurous opportunities for the boys. Activities include canoeing and orienteering as well as other resourceful activities such as cooking, cleaning and building humpies.
See what your son can look forward to in the Outdoor Education program.

I stood at the back of the room, when the man and woman walked in. The woman was shouting.
"Her glutes aren't showing, Simon. Stop seeing things." The woman pushed the man away, and walked towards me while still talking to him. "The pose might be a little risqué. That's all. But it's our daughter's best self-portrait. She wants it at the center of her birthday celebration, and she'll have it."
"Bethany, please," the man put a hand on the woman's shoulder, "let's talk about this."
The woman slapped the hand away. Hard. The flesh on flesh sound echoed through the empty parlor. When he reached for her again, she stopped and said, "There isn't any talking to be done. Grow up, Simon! Our daughter is sixteen-years-old. She has the right to show some thigh, if that's what she wants."
"We don't know, Bethany," the man said, "maybe she—"
"There are no maybes here." She left him talking to empty air. And wiping tears on the sleeve of her black suit, the woman closed the distance between us. "Excuse me," she said, "you're the event planner?"
"Yes, ma'am," I extended a hand, "let me offer you my—"
"Never mind that." She waved my words away. Her tears and her annoyance towards the man were covered by a bright smile. "My husband can't agree with me on the details of the celebration." She glared at him when he joined us. "Would you mind being the voice of reason?"
"Bethany," the husband said, "don't do this."
"I understand now." The woman laughed. "You know he'll agree with me," she said, pointing at my chest. "I'm right and you don't want to hear it. Well, too bad." She took a picture out of her suit's inner pocket. "Let's get this over with."
The husband tried to grab the picture, but she had already put it in my hands.
"You tell me, sir." The woman looked from my face to the picture. Then she turned towards her husband, and said to me, "Tell us."
I didn't look at the picture. My eyes were on the husband's face. The dark circles under his eyes were wet and swollen. His lips were trembling.
I squeezed the picture between my fingers.
"He's getting to you too, isn't he?" The woman shook her head. "Just look at the picture. I made her that dress. I don't understand the ribbons, but I made the dress. It was the only thing she asked for, so of course mommy made it for her baby." She smiled and hugged herself. "It's hand sewn. I had a business meeting I couldn't miss, but I made the dress during the plane ride. On her birthday. But I don't understand the ribbons." She began to cry. "I don't understand the ribbons. I don't understand the red ribbons…"
"They told me she had to see it for herself," the man said.
I nodded before lowering my eyes to the picture in my hands. A girl in a white dress floated in still waters. Tendrils of blood, that looked almost too red to be real, streamed out of her wrists.
a wee note…

@JoeyStyles: Knowing that he can have a WWE World Heavyweight Championship match whenever he damn well pleases, I expect The Celtic Warrior to walk away and take a loss by intentional count-out when he senses that an RKO is coming "outta nowhere." WINNER: Randy Orton
@HowardFinkel: I have been a big advocate of The Celtic Warrior since he returned to WWE with a new attitude and look. And winning the Money in the Bank contract was a huge feather in the Irishman's cap! But that was then and this is now. This match could go either way, but I feel that The Viper will be a mere three seconds better than Sheamus this Sunday. WINNER: Randy Orton
Anthony Benigno: Randy Orton's brief leave of absence opened the door for Sheamus to run rampant, and The Apex Predator's return has Mr. Money in the Bank appropriately shook. The Celtic Warrior was made a fool on Raw by Orton's mocking RKO, which means he'll have a grudge going into their Battleground brawl. And, as we all know, an angry Sheamus is the most effective Sheamus. WINNER: Sheamus
Jeff Laboon: Randy Orton is the most vindictive Superstar of all time. Every time Orton thinks about Sheamus, he thinks about how that Money in the Bank contract should travel with him. WINNER: Randy Orton
Bobby Melok: Don't expect too many headlocks and hip-tosses when The Viper and The Celtic Warrior enter the ring. An all-out brawl favors Sheamus, so look for Mr. Money in the Bank to be victorious, despite Orton's home field advantage in St. Louis. WINNER: Sheamus
Randy Orton: 3, Sheamus: 2

Warts are benign growths that
are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV)
and can be spread from person to person.
If you have a wart, make sure you take proper
precautions to not spread the virus to others
around you. Warts
that are on the face or genital areas should
never be treated with at home wart removal kits.
If you have a stubborn wart that doesn't respond
to at home treatments, then consider a doctor's
appointment. A wart will usually go away
on it's own, but it could take months or years.
For common warts and plantar
warts an over the counter wart removal method
can remove the wart without a doctor visit.
Two popular methods of wart removal are with
salicylic acid as in Dr. Scholl's Clear Away,
DuoFilm Salicylic Acid Wart Remover and
WalGreen's Wart Remover) and with freezing
methods using dimethyl ether (as with Compound W
Freeze Off and Dr. Scholl's Freeze Away).
Salicylic acid removal can be in the form of a
liquid, gel, or a convenient invisible strip
that is placed over the wart. Dimethyl
ether freezing methods usually come in a
canister with single use tips for directing the
freezing liquid onto the wart.
There are many home remedies for
wart removal that have been recorded but the
only natural wart removal that has been medically researched is
the use of duct tape. By placing a small
piece of duct tape on the wart, an immune
response is triggered in the body, causing the
virus to be eliminated from the body. Keep
in mind that this removal method does take
patience as do many wart removal methods.
The average time for a wart to completely go
away is usually 6-10 weeks but could be longer.
There are times when you may
need to have a doctor examine a wart. If
you are not sure that a growth is a wart, then
you should see a medical practitioner to rule
cancerous growths, especially if you are
over 60. An infant with a wart anywhere on
his or her body should be seen by a doctor.
If you suspect that you have genital warts, then
you should receive a medical exam to begin
Other times to call the doctor
about possible wart removal:
-if the wart becomes red,
swollen, or painful to the touch
-any discharge from the wart
should be examined
-a bleeding wart could be a
sign of a more serious condition
-if a plantar wart makes it
difficult to walk or stand
During your doctor visit, your
wart will be examined to determine if immediate
treatment is needed or if a wait-and-see
approach would be best. In very young
children, many doctors prefer to wait and see if
the wart will go away on its own since
most removal methods can be uncomfortable and
even painful for children. Most warts will
go away on their own in time but a few can be
difficult to deal with. These difficult
warts usually require several visits to the
doctor for repeated treatments to remove the
warts. Several wart removal methods are
listed below.
Most insurance companies will
provide coverage for wart removal but check with
your insurance provider to make sure your policy
allows for removal and treatment of warts.
Over the counter wart removers also qualify as
an expense for a medical spending account.
Again, check with your insurance provider to
determine your exact coverage since every
insurance company has varying degrees of

first thought that comes to mind when a
person develops a wart is usually "How
did I get this wart?" The second
thought that pops into ones head is

What at

removals are available and
what causes wart removal to take place
in a doctor's care? If you have
common warts, removal is usually
simple with over the counter treatments.
Facial warts and genital warts require a
doctor's care for treatment and removal.
Keep in
mind that most warts will disappear on
their own given time. Most people
want to get rid of warts much sooner
than the warts will go away. Wart
removal is not a guarantee that more
warts won't form. It just removes
the offending wart.

The WPP Group agency in recent months pitched and won Jaguar Cars Ltd.'s estimated $125 million global account, as reported first by Advertising Age (AA, Feb. 5). Incumbents were sibling WPP agencies Ogilvy & Mather Worldwide and J. Walter Thompson, which have managed the global account under the three-year-old Global Communications Group, or GCG. As of mid-day March 9, Jaguar hadn't announced a formal shift of the account. Michelle Cervantez, VP-marketing at Jaguar, confirmed Y&R, New York, handled the U.S.-only TV and print brand campaign that will run through June. But she described the work as a "project" only. Each of the three TV brand commercials shows an individual car: the S-Type, XJR super-charged sedan and XKR high-performance coupe, she said.
Jaguar, owned by Ford Motor Co., wants to change consumers' perceptions of the brand. The brand's research shows there is a misconception that Jaguars cost more than they actually do, Ms. Cervantez said. "We are viewed as being stuffy and aloof. We want people to think of us in a somewhat warmer way than they do."
The brand will use the campaign to pave the way for the launch of the all-new X-Type sedan, due to go on sale in late July. With a suggested retail price of $29,950, the car will be Jaguar's cheapest to date. The car is aimed at buyers younger than most current Jaguar owners, who typically are male and middle-aged.
Y&R will handle the launch of the X-Type, said Jake Weidinger, a Jaguar dealer on the carmaker's marketing committee. Brian Allan, another dealer on the panel, said the X-Type will be teased in TV spots that only show parts of the car. The spots will end with the tagline: "X-Type. The New Jaguar."
Mr. Allan, who saw the presentations from Y&R and O&M, said he expects the brand campaign to show younger consumers in "a cyber cafe, not on the golf course" and "on a nature hike, not on a golf course." According to Mr. Allan, "the whole idea is to take the stuffiness out of Jaguar's image."
Jaguar expects the new model to help it reach U.S. sales of 50,000 units this year. The brand sold 43,728 cars in 2000, a 24.8% jump from 1999, according to Automotive News. The marketer spent $42 million in U.S. measured media in the first 11 months of 2000, says Competitive Media Reporting.

Our products have the same superior quality as genuine parts.
As you can see attached in the photo, this type usually doesn't have a bottom-bypass-valve. This is installed to the outlet of the engine cooling circuit. This type is said to be the original of modern thermostats, and is higher and more compact than another type. The replacement of the thermostat is also easy.
As you can see in the photo, this type has a bypass-valve on the bottom. It is mainly used in Inlet of the engine cooling circuit. As water temperature rises in the engine, the bypass-valve slowly shuts bypass hole. This allow more water to flow into the radiator.These days, most engines use this type.
This type has not only a main valve, but also a small valve with a small element.It was developed to reduce water cycling which otherwise has a bad effect on the engine.
As an advance type of thermostat, this product combines the water inlet the thermostat as a single unit. The material of the water inlet is Aluminum or plastic. In particular, the plastic type requires significantly higher quality standards than the aluminum type. It was developed by stringent evaluation, and with the OEM's unique technology. The advantage of the integrated thermostat is weight reduction, water flow increment and other improvements by wide design. It will be the latest trend in the near future.
The low-temperature thermostat makes it possible to set the valve-open temperature even lower than with a conventional thermostat.
In situations where the engine often reaches high temperatures, such as in motor sports, it can speed up cooling water circulation and help prevent loss of engine performance due to thermal deformation.
All of our thermo-switches are made for OEM, and have the same quality as genuine products.
This type is designed by a unique technology. It can operate on-off automatically by the expanding and contracting of the wax element.
The switch uses bimetal. It is higher and smaller than the wax type. This is the latest evolution.
This switch uses a lead element which can detect variation of magnetic force transformed by water temperature.In the series of switches, it is an older design than the other two switches introduced.
This switch uses special material for high temperature resistance.
These days, most automobile engines are controlled by an engine control unit (ECU). Due to this trend, thermo-sensors will replace thermo-switch. This will become primary product.All of our sensors are made for OEM's. They have the same quality as genuine parts.
This product has a built in NTC thermistor. It can express various levels of resistance, depending upon water temperature, to the ECU.It is an indispensable component for ECU-equipped engines.
This product also has a built in NTC thermistor. The thermistor differs from the water temperature sensor by detecting variations in water temperature. Temperature changes are expressed as electric current changes, which then determine the position of heat gage.
This type is an integrated water sensor and sensor for water gage.It was developed for OEM's original technology.

iSelect Limited has altered the terms of the $33.5 million takeover offer for fellow price comparison website operator Infochoice (ASX:ICH).
iSelect, which runs an insurance, home loans and broadband price comparison site, has made an off-market offer for all Infochoice shares.
Announcing the offer, iSelect said it is a superior proposal for Infochoice shareholders than the earlier capital reduction proposal at the same price, because it provides shareholders with a quicker path to exit.
The $0.7841 per share offer for financial product comparison site Infochoice is a 61% premium to the ICH trading price in the last 12 months.
iSelect first announced its intention to acquire Infochoice in May, as it revealed it was negotiating to buy the shares in the company held by major Infochoice shareholder Once Pty Ltd.
iSelect on Friday also revealed it had agreed to terms of a $35 million facility agreement with Goldman Sachs to fund the acquisition.
The company is currently trying to break out into offering price comparisons for new categories including banking and financial services, and views the Infochoice acquisition as a good way to achieve its goals.
ICH shares stayed flat on Friday at $0.485.
