America stands in the throes of an anxiety epidemic, yet Americans live in one of the most religious countries in the world? Shouldn't people with deep spiritual roots be less vulnerable to emotional suffering? Such an enigma stands at the center of this book, but the enigma turns out to be more apparent than real.
In Islam God, Allah, the Most Merciful and Compassionate, stands alone: transcendent and majestic. The faith is marked by a strict and uncompromising ethical monotheism which requires its followers to translate into action the divine attributes of mercy, compassion, charity, love and peace in an effort to establish a balanced, just and peaceful human society.
Gender Equity in Islam presents an overview of the status and rights of Muslim women...
Islamic thought and sources have contributed both to the radical Enlightenment and early American Revolution.
There are nearly 1.3 Billion Muslims worldwide; about one fifth of the total world population...
Love is one of the most central attributes of God. God is described in the Qur'an as "Wadood", a superlative term for love which has been translated as "The Affectionate" or "One who is full of loving kindness". In one verse [11:90], this divine attribute is connected with mercy and in the other [85:14], it is connected with forgiveness. This appears to show the inter-connectedness and interdependence of the attributes of love, mercy and forgiveness. Verses on these attributes appear in the Qur'an hundreds of times.
The essence of the Islamic paradigm is grounded in the concept of tawhid, the Oneness and Uniqueness of God. The coherence of the central belief system in Islam is based on the relationship between the act of submission (to God) and its consequences in a state of peace. At the core of this relationship is the concept of tawhid (oneness of God), by virtue of which submission is transformed into a dynamic and ongoing act. That is the meaning of 'ibada (devotion or worship[1]).
Most Muslim Women through history realized and appreciated their role in society...
Humanity lives today in a "global village" where no people or nation can live in isolation from and indifference to what goes on elsewhere.

AD: What do photonic crystals allow you to do?
JJ: They allow you to make things a lot smaller than before, so you have much better control. You can do things now that weren't possible before, like confining light in air. If you confine light in air, you lose less light. There's less scattering than with fiber optics, where the light interacts with the material it moves through.
AD: Where will photonic crystals be used?
JJ: There are lots of applications. In as little as 10 years, they could replace fiber optics and be used in phone lines and cable lines. The photonic crystals could make it possible to integrate a large number of components and devices on a chip. In contrast to nanotechnology, instead of making electronic devices on a very small scale, you're making optical devices on a very small scale.
AD: What's the advantage of doing that?
JJ: It allows you to do more things in a smaller amount of space and with less power.
AD: What needs to happen before photonic crystals are incorporated into the telecommunications infrastructure?
JJ: To commercialize it, engineers would have to prove that the fiber or tubing could be manufactured cheaply and would be durable. Then it has to be easily manufactured in a large scale operation [and] has to gradually fit in with existing systems. If you're replacing fiber, you want to connect its replacement to what exists already. If you're replacing devices, you want to ensure that you can connect to conventional fiber optics. You can't replace everything at once.
AD: What are other potential applications?
JJ: Because photonic crystals are very good reflectors or mirrors, you can use them to color food. You can make candy shiny or change the color of candy by incorporating the crystals, which can be designed to reflect only certain colors. Basically, you can color candy without using dyes. One candy manufacturer has already expressed interest in funding this research.
AD: How could microphotonics help us on the home front?
JJ: Microphotonics could help save energy. Because they reflect light, photonic crystals could be used to keep heat or light inside or outside of something. It could therefore cut heating or air conditioning bills. We could create a clear coating or paint that contains photonic crystals and works like thermal radiation insulation. You could paint the inside of your house or the insides of windows to keep heat in. If you applied it to the outside of your car, it would keep the heat out.
AD: What medical applications are possible with photonic crystals?
JJ: Photonic crystals could give you control over the time and place of drug delivery. Right now, if you take a drug it's in your entire bloodstream. It's active everywhere. If it's designed to kill cells, it kills more than just the tumor. That may not be the best thing when you want it concentrated at one spot. What if the drug was embedded in photonic crystals? The drug won't be activated until it passes through the intersection of two laser beams. By targeting where and when the drug is released, we could help people who have tumors or diseased organs, without adversely affecting healthy cells. Conceptually, we know this is possible.
Like Prometheus, who tamed fire, researchers are harnessing light to do their bidding. By reining in otherwise uncontrollable particles of light known as photons, scientists intend to increase the rate at which information flows.
Breakthroughs in microphotonics, the technology that controls light on a microscopic scale, could not only turbo-charge data transfer, but also change how we insulate our homes, says John Joannopoulos, a physics professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Fiber-optic cables currently used in our telecommunications networks move light through silica wire. But light sent through a solid scatters and diminishes in intensity. One solution is to guide light through air instead. But until recently, that was impossible to do because light, by nature, tends to flee air and escape into the walls of a fiber or tube.
Using one form of microphotonics, known as photonic crystals, Joannopoulos' lab has devised a way to trap light and guide it inside a fiber or hollow tube without danger of leakage. The photonic crystal material selectively reflects light of certain wavelengths and prevents the light from penetrating the walls of the hollow tube that confines it. In 2000, Joannopoulos cofounded Cambridge, Mass.-based Omni-Guide Communications, to use the technology to improve upon fiber optics. He recently spoke with American Demographics' Sandra Yin about photonic crystals' market potential.

Artist: Sonik Foundry
Album: Realm of Disorder
Label: Nilaihah
Genre:EBM, EDM, IDM
Release Date: November18th, 2014
Continuing with the rapid-fire releases of 2013's Chaos, 2012's Explosive and 2011's Parish of Redemption, (as well as remix albums) Sonik Foundry's manically productive mastermind Nik. A Demus brings you Realm of Disorder, the sixth studio release since Sonik Foundry's inception in 2007 – busy bunnies indeed!
Killing the Machinegets the party started with brutal, beefy, bassy beats. A promising intro, the tempo ups throughout the track, which is instantly grin-inducing, head-bopping, shoulder-rolling crunk. Nik mixes elements of dark humour into this chunky sonic broth to create a sound which is easily absorbed as well as energising and engaging. The vocals, for those new to the band, come across as a crisper, more cybernetic interpretation of David Draiman's (of nu-metal behemoths Disturbed) scream-shout-howl circa Queen of the Damned soundtrack, with cross-pitch synthwork replacing the churning riffage of aforementioned metallers. This first track swirls into a phukt-up little breakdown at 3:10 which honestly took me quite by surprise!
Terror keeps up the uncompromising bass and backs it up with vaguely Imperative Reaction style drum-loops and a creepy, hammer-horror esque melody. The sound gradually evolves, incorporating mechanistic break-beat roots into the wildly whirling yet intuitive EBM groove. At 4:00 the track invokes a Knife Party style simultaneous boost in pitch and tempo which adds an exciting new dimension before descending, like a sinner into hell, into a weird stutterry drop to finish the track off. To my personal taste, this seems, in reality, to fall a little flat, feeling as if it could have been executed with a little more elegance, but it is not off-putting and the assimilation of new styles sometimes takes a while to gel in the consciousness, both of listener and artist.
Drone kicks off slowly. A morose, distant pulse accompanies darkly introspective, sombre lyrics. This is, however, just to give us a brief reprieve, and soon, the sonic madness begins again, while the vocals remain resolutely moody. This synergy of up-tempo musical input mixing with downbeat wordplay continues as an irresistible, if slightly generic beat/melody structure arrives to spread grins across the dance-floor, before closing with, of all things, a piano refrain! The vocals here remind me slightly of Korn's track Alone I Break, (Untouchables, 2002) although this is the only point at which they resemble Johnathon Davis' tortured wail. Weird!
Deceiver mixes dance energy with metal agro into yet another instantly grin inducing tune. Nik A Demus' confrontational diatribe here is perhaps a little drowned out in production here, which is a shame, but the track holds together well, alternating the harsh-hyper madness with a creepy, hunting, graveyard bridge.
This formula of dance-hunt-fight-repeat continues into Rage, and the project on this track bares resemblance to a version of Alien Vampires with the edges rounded off, creating extra clarity.
Freedom Martyrshas a weirdly militaristic introduction rolling bass and a stomping percussive march complimenting heavily politicised lyrics. The track seems to split in half and again, unfortunately, seems to fall a little flat towards the end, but maybe that is appropriate given the subdued, introspective, if somewhat laboured nature of follow-up Chains, a confession from the perspective of the condemned.
Lie, Cheat, Roamis a good stomp if somewhat muted vocally. Initially it felt a little like filler for me, the, by now, trademark hyping peak seems to go nowhere and again seems a tad rushed, although on subsequent listens I have warmed a little more to the track.
The mojo does definitely seem to come back from here on in though (tbh, I have lost track of the number of albums I have reviewed which seem to lose their way a bit from tracks 5-7!), as Decay brings in clean, electronic complexity and funky beats to create an atmosphere that is at once ghostly and stomping, which zooms effortlessly into the whirling roller-coaster mania of Tormentor. The misanthropic yet resolute wordplay continues throughout to create a sound almost like Depeche mode on a blend of MDMA and bad, paranoia-inducing weed! This I like a lot, and the mojo is fully back and cranked up as we hurtle crazily into Floorkiller which exhibits a wildly unearthly vibe, combined with rave-style loops emblematic of The Prodigy's early work. This hypnotic mish-mash is expertly grounded with a solid beat structure to create a thoroughly satisfying dark-dance sound.
Rounding off the album now, we come to Never Again which has a different sound yet again - a little more percussive, wavering between the harsh and the soft in the synthwork, before finishing off with the Ruined Conflict mix of Terror, a more distorted, somehow milder, steadily building reinterpretation. I'm not sure what this remix really adds, but I enjoyed hearing the track again!
To my ears, this is a superb album, which blends a variety of cross-spectrum influences which, like all of the artist's previous works, take you on a journey through every aspect, every corner, of your psyche while keeping you consistently entertained with irresistibly engaging EBM sounds. There are the occasional moments where I felt one or two tracks didn't quite reach their potential but there are few, if any, artists on the scene at the moment who can keep up with Nik A Demus' continuing wealth of both quality and quantity of output. The occasional hiccups do not detract from the overall awesomeness of the album and if you liked any of his previous work, you'll love this, head and heart.

Roger Martin commentary: Flexibility required to survive globalization
The book "Future Shock" was written 35 years ago, but author Alvin Toffler has never stopped making bold pronouncements.
Here's a typical Tofflerism: "The illiterates of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn and relearn."
That sounds a lot like something William Barnett might say when he starts talking about globalization.
Here's a quote from Barnett, a University of Kansas distinguished professor of macroeconomics:
" The best way to deal with growing globalization is to recognize and act on the increase in uncertainty about the future that it produces. A decision that looked right last year might not look right this year."
For those who, like me, are just starting to understand globalization, here are a few of the core ideas.
In a globalized world, nations and markets and trade are increasingly entwined because of cheap airfare and phone calls and Internet connections. Everybody's baled together by round-the-clock, round-the-world mass media.
When markets are open and when information -- and people -- travel quickly, it doesn't matter whether you're the United States economy, Sony electronics, General Motors, an Iraqi dictator or NBA basketball.
Staying on top gets harder and harder for some, Barnett says. Getting there gets easier and easier for others.
Globalization affects our lives in a thousand ways. The fact that we eat sushi, while they eat Kentucky Fried Chicken is the least of it.
The most traditional social ties are being affected by the dynamics of globalization.
"Even the local barbershop no longer can depend on getting all of its neighborhood business," Barnett says. "Improvement in transportation changed that."
Barnett says that globalization is bound to affect career and education planning. An old-fashioned "career" that lasts a lifetime will be less possible, he says. Flexibility will be as important as skills.
Barnett says, "There will be less time to adjust and more people who unexpectedly lose and who feel they had little warning.
" A lot of what's happening is about opportunity. Fear is the wrong response to opportunity."
Brave words -- but hearing them doesn't make me feel braver. Besides the personal upheavals, won't there also be a lot of environmental fallout?
Surely, I say to Barnett, ads spun around the world by mass media will create mass appetites for consumer goods -- appetites that pollute the planet and deplete its resources.
Surely, Barnett responds, you don't want the poor to remain poor, do you? The open markets of a globalized world are, for example, creating increased income for Mexico's poor, he says.
Barnett says economists think there are checks on our messing up the environment too much. Pricing is a crucial check. That is, when gasoline and pollution are too expensive, we'll switch to other forms of energy.
Besides, he says, the research literature by economists on how governments and other agents might deal with problems like environmental damage is "formidable."
Humans, he says, are "fully capable of producing disaster, but there is no reason to view it as inevitable.
History is full of disasters that occurred. But it is also full of disasters successfully avoided and technological advances that couldn't have been anticipated."
Suddenly, I get a glimmer about my fear in all of this. It derives, in part, from the unknowns related to the emerging globalized world.
I long for security.
When it comes to that, I have a lot to unlearn.

Federal, state and parish leaders are working on a three-pronged plan to govern the eventual transition from Gulf of Mexico oil spill "response" to "recovery," the federal government's point person for spill response said Thursday.
National Incident Commander Thad Allen met Thursday with Gov. Bobby Jindal, BP Chief Operating Officer Doug Suttles and several parish leaders to discuss the role each would play in the coming months after the blown-out Macondo well is finally sealed and there is less oil to mop up on the water's surface.
The meeting did not produce much in the way of definitive answers but was "more of a conversation of how we start to plan and talk about the process," Allen said.
State and parish officials have expressed frustration at being excluded from certain decision-making meetings about spill response plans that will impact their communities.
"Decisions on response efforts should not be made from the top down by the Coast Guard and BP," Jindal said in a statement following the meeting. "It's important for our coastal leaders to be part of all decisions that impact our coast."
The meeting produced three leading topics, Allen said.
First, the parties have decided that they will develop a set of principles and protocols to assess the oil spill cleanup after the well is killed. The agreement will spell out "how clean is clean," Allen said.
Each parish leader has been asked to revise the Coast Guard's current plan for cleanup and present his changes next week, St. Tammany Parish President Kevin Davis said.
Allen said the group also agreed that there needs to be a storm plan in place that accounts for less-severe storms. The current plan operates like an "on/off switch" Allen said, making little distinction between major hurricanes and more minor threats such as the recent Tropical Depression Bonnie. BP crews shut down spill response efforts in advance of the storm and were derided by local officials for their slow return after the relatively weak storm had passed.
Allen said the parties agreed that there are "less severe" steps that could be taken to make sure equipment is guarded during a minor storm but can be returned quickly to the scene.
Finally, the parties talked about ideas for how to manage the vessels of opportunity program as the work the boats had been doing comes to an end. The vessels of opportunity program re-purposes the boats of shrimpers, fishermen and others whose employment was affected by the oil spill so that they could be used on oil spill response, particularly skimming and placing boom. However, since the Macondo well was capped and no oil has flowed from it for almost two weeks, there is less need for that work.
Going forward those vessels could be involved in boom recovery and decontamination projects, Allen said. They might also be used to install a different kind of boom that is attached to crab traps. How they were redeployed would depend on their size and capabilities, as well as whether the boat's owners could return to their original jobs as fishing areas are reopened.
"As the operation shifts from oil spill response to recovery, the needs will change and we will have to decide the best use," Allen said.
The two-hour meeting was "frank, open, productive," Allen said.
"You know these parish presidents," Allen said. "Nobody held anything back."
A letter inviting parish presidents to the meeting asked each to provide, for discussion purposes, their top three concerns.
Davis said the meeting started out contentiously after the Coast Guard and BP presented the political officials with a plan for long-term clean up and recovery.
"I was the first one to speak up," Davis said. "I said, 'This is a perfect example of what I'm talking about. We should have say in this.' "
Davis said he was particularly concerned that the plan they were presented did not include plans for responding to oil that may be traveling underwater and so far going undetected.
Allen and other officials at the meeting could not tell the presidents where the oil has gone, whether it is below the waterline or on the bottom.
"We kept stressing that we need to be in the discussion and the decision making," Davis said. "We did a lot of venting of our issues trying to get them to feel the way we do and to understand why we feel left out of the loop."
Interim Jefferson Parish President Steve Theriot said that the meeting cleared up some confusion, answered some questions but left many more unanswered.
Theriot said that the parish presidents were seeking assurances that there would be no change in the amount of equipment and people working to protect and cleanup their communities from the oil once the well has been permanently sealed.
"We as a parish have tried to maintain the fact that whatever time that we have to be exposed to the oil inundating our coastline and our estuaries, I want to have the necessary assets ready to deal with it," Theriot said.
Theriot said that he also expressed concerns about the financial impact on the parish and how it will be reimbursed for ongoing expenses as well as the ability to be made whole from the loss of sales and property tax revenues. With only $5 billion of the $20 billion BP fund being released a year for the entire region, Theriot said he wanted to know what happens when the demand is in excess of the $5 billion.
"No one has been able to answer that. I don't want to be caught expending funds if I'm not going to get reimbursed," he said. "Suppose it doesn't happen in six months. Do I have to get in line and wait two years? I'm told that is being worked out in Washington."
Jindal said the group also raised concerns about health funding for workers and the claims process and requested better access to claims data and protocol changes.
"We did not receive a firm commitment, but federal representatives did indicate that the U.S. Department of Justice shares our concerns," Jindal said.

1983 Volvo 240 242 DL
1982 Volvo 242 B23F, M46, K Cam, IPD sway bars and panhard bar, koni shocks, lowering springs, new (less 50 miles) catless 2.5 inch exhaust.
Very straight car with very little rust for an East Coast Volvo 240, minor dent on right rear fender. My intention was to do ice racing with it and then put a roll cage for some NASA Rally events. However, my economic situation has changed since then and I can not with a straight face head in that direction anymore. I love this car, the looks, the screaming engine. Anyway, here are the highlights:
The good:
- The previous owner replaced the timing belt and tensioner less than 3k ago. He also replaced all the vacuum lines, new plugs, plug wires, new distributor, whole new brake system - rotors, pads, calipers all round, fresh oil change, new shifter bushings, new motor mounts.
- Clutch is tight and trans shifts smoothly through all gears.
- I replaced the alternator and alternator belt 15 miles ago.
- Replaced front headlights to make this car safe to drive at night: 2 new Cibie headlamp units and 2 Osram 70/65w bolbs, and new relay and wiring harness (from Daniel Stern Ligthing)
- Brand new catless 2.5 inch pipe and exhaust.
- Two sets of wheels included 15x7 OZ MSW mesh wheels with new Falken's and a set of Team Dynamics 17x8 track wheels with worn/hard-assYokohama's
- I replaced the heater blower engine (oh the joy of that job!)
- Currently has a Corbeau race bucket in the driver seat. I have a factory seat that I will include.
- The wiring engine harness was cleaned up. However, the "bio-degradable" ICU wiring harness is shit (which I guess is also bio-degradable). Changing this harness was next in my set of things to do.
- The engine is running rough when at very light throttle. It is not a vacuum leak. I would start by replacing the ICU wiring harness (see line above) before doing any more troubleshooting.
- Odometer does not work, true mileage unknown.
- Grille has several broken mount tabs and is held in with zip ties.
1983 Volvo 242 DL with flat hood conversion (7' round headlights, big front bumper, flat hood)
Engine: B23F, M46, K Cam, Jetronic injection. Head: 405 off a Canadian model which uses KJet system. It is a stroker setup. Cam is Volvo OEM that comes from the Volvo penta boat engines.
Transmission: M46 (not 100% sure though). Over drive is disconnected (higher RPMs at highway cruising. I drove it in the highway many times and it did not bother me)
IPD sway bars and panhard bar koni shocks,
Cut lowering springs, pretty low and it handles really nice.
Exhaust: New catless mid-pipe and Borla exhaust

Celebrating 50 YEARS!!! Join us Thursday, Oct. 12!
Industries, Incorporated merged with PHASE
For nearly 50 years, Industries Incorporated has been an integral part of the community of Isanti and Kanabec counties, providing employment and therapeutic and transportation services to adults diagnosed with an intellectual disability, traumatic brain injury or mental illness. As a local non-profit, all Industries Incorporated services and enterprises are aimed at providing individuals with disabilities more employment options and enhanced therapeutic services. Every Industries Incorporated business enterprise employs, and is designed for and with, individuals with disabilities.
Last month Industries Incorporated finalized its largest project to date. After months of collaborative work, Industries Incorporated and kindred service provider, PHASE, merged under the PHASE umbrella of companies. As one, the organization will serve nearly 500 service recipients across east-central Minnesota and employ over 140 employees.
"The two organizations have collaborated closely across the years," according to Tim Schmutzer, Executive Director for PHASE. "Because of our existing relationship, the complementary strengths of each organization, and the shrinking pool of statewide resources directed toward non-profit disability services, the Boards for each organization believed the time was right to formalize our collaboration in the form of a merger."
Industries Incorporated has built strong and successful employment placement programs. PHASE has honed its ability to work effectively with individuals with high and often complex support needs. Together, Industries Incorporated and PHASE intend to blend these strengths across the entire service region. While Industries Incorporated has integrated its business into the PHASE company, its service locations, name, and connection to the local communities remain. "Honoring our agency's half-century relationship with our community and the community members that have contributed so much to Industries' Mission was very important in this undertaking," said Denise Johnson, Director.
Johnson sees the merge with PHASE as an opportunity to enhance and expand service options for clients. "We are able to invest into programs and the Direct Support Professionals so vital to our program's success because of this merger. We are small enough continue to be a member and partner with the local community, yet now large enough to ensure stability and actively promote program growth," stated Johnson.Industries Incorporated, now a division of PHASE, invites the public to visit its Mora GoodWorks Thrift Store for great deals. Also check out Heritage Wood Products in Cambridge for hand-designed barn wood art and furniture. PHASE Furnishings, just north of Pine City, continues to update its inventory of new furniture and home decor. Historically both Industries Incorporated and PHASE have striven to invest in the people, development, and places of their local communities. Now this same level of commitment comes from a single, integrated organization.

John's Employment Success Story
John working at the Grand Casino.
John started his path to employment in May of 2007 by working in Industries, Inc.'s workshop . He worked on a wide variety of assembly products, wood products and custom products including fire starters.
John's next step in his employment path was to work in the community on a work crew. He worked at Grand Casino Hinckley as a housekeeper and went to local farms with a crew to collect wood from barns that were being demolished. John worked both in Industries' workshop and on community work crews until 2013.
At this time John and his team believed Industries had completed its mission to prepare him for competitive employment. His next step was a referral to Vocational Rehabilitation Services (VRS) where he filled out an application for services, was accepted, and met with a rehabilitation counselor.
The VRS counselor determined John was a good candidate for Work Adjustment Training (WAT). During this training John worked at a local grocery store stocking shelves. An employment consultant from Industries worked with John to help enhance his work skills. John had a bit of trouble with this position, but went on to a carry-out position with the same store and did very well at that.
After observing John and assisting him during the WAT, the VRS counselor met with John and Industries, Inc. staff, and all agreed John was ready to find competitive employment!While he was job seeking, John continued working at Industries as a Material Handler. This job entailed helping the workhop foreman keep assembly and packagine materials supplied to workers, wrap pallets of finished product for shipping, and other workshop duties.
John also learned how to earn extra cash by "scrapping" — collecting discarded metal and bringing it to a recycling center. John became quite good at this and would eagerly explain to Industries' staff and his coworkers how to identify each type of metal and what each is worth to a recycler. It became obvious to John and his team that scrapping, or something similar, would be a great fit for permanent employment.
As luck would have it, Industries, Inc.'s Job developer, Kris B., had recently met with the people at SRC Recycling in Wyoming, MN, and took a tour of its plant. Kris told John about SRC Recycling, and most importantly, that they were hiring. John completed an application, and because of the connections Industries, Inc. had made with SRC Recycling, John was hired on-the-spot December 1, 2014!
John now works five days a week at SRC Recycling and is completely independent of Industries, Inc. His hours vary depending on the amount of recycling needing to be sorted, but he works 4 hours or more per day. When the work load is extra heavy, John willingly works overtime.
Recently John visited the Cambridge Industries, Inc. office to inform staff and his past coworkers that he has been asked to help maintain the machines at SRC Recycling. John also encouraged Industries workshop clients to do the best with their employment goals so they, too, could become independent.
Congratulations John! Everyone at Industries, Inc. is proud of you and your accomplishments.

No safety program will be enough to mitigate risks associated with poorly designed mining equipment. Incorporating quality mining equipment, from mine cages to mining cars, goes a long way in reducing accidents in the mining workplace. If you plan to use the technology of the future in your mining operations, you stand to enhance their effectiveness if you have proven mining equipment in place.
Quality Mining Equipment in Canada
Leading manufacturers, such as Wabi Iron & Steel Corp., produce the most trusted equipment in the mining industry. From mine shaft cages to rail cars, Wabi designs and manufactures loading and conveyance systems that meet the strictest of quality and safety standards.

For Immediate Release
Man Charged with Illegal Trapping and Wolf Killing
The Oregon State Police announced today that a Union County man who trapped and killed a juvenile wolf in Oregon will face charges. Oregon Wild released the following statement:
Poaching is a serious problem in Oregon. For far too long, wolf poachers have been able to escape justice. We are grateful to Oregon State Police for finding and charging this poacher.
Everyone who values native wildlife will be watching closely to see if justice is ultimately carried out. This poacher deserves more than a slap on the wrist.
Everyone seems to agree that poaching is reprehensible. However, in some communities, there is an exception when the conversation turns to native carnivores. We see it on social media, hear it in bars, and read it on bumper stickers celebrating the poachers cowardly creed to "shoot, shovel, and shut up". Native wildlife belong to all Oregonians. We all share a responsibility to openly denounce these cowardly acts and those who cultivate a culture of permissiveness when it comes to wolves.

Number Should not Start with 0 and -,Alphabet is not Allowed
An updated database of over 600 articles and counting gives you rich information about the following topics. These can keep you updated and also take some informed decisions irrespective of whether you are a small provider or an established head doctor of a hospital.
Here at MedicalBillersandCoders.com we try to provide solutions to this evergreen issue for doctors, medical administrative staff, billing and coding professionals to deal with the conventional as well as the latest trends in healthcare industry.
MedicalBillersandCoders.com has identified some basic healthcare concerns that will govern decision-making and policies in the year 2014. Some of the most prominent challenges that healthcare practitioners face today can be listed as follows.
1. Billing Errors: With the advent of technology and electronic billing, the risk of manual errors has been greatly minimized, but the probability of committing errors related to coding still exists. These errors lead to delays in payments, non-reimbursements and even strained relationships with patients or insurance companies. Unless we have dedicated organizations who take utmost care in managing and delivering data, we shall continue to be affected by errors that can easily be avoided.
2. Staying Up to Date with Coding: A major part of ensuring a smooth revenue cycle for any healthcare facility is its billing process. With the government implementing changes and updates in the codes frequently, we believe staying up to date with latest coding and terminologies is the key. For institutions that have not outsourced their billing process, training the staff continually and updating the software becomes a challenge as it takes its toll on the core areas of a hospital which is more medical in nature than administrative.
3. ICD 10: As the implementation of ICD 10 codes were to happen in October 2014, medical billers would have had to add about 57,000 new codes to the practice. These, along with another set of 85,000 procedural codes would transform this industry.
4. Collaborations: Many healthcare giants are collaborating to consolidate their billing and coding needs. This may lead to a monopoly like situation where small players will be uprooted or will remain outdated in their approach.
5. Adoption of EMR (Electronic Medical Services) debate: As codes and software become more and more complex, there is a parallel debate on whether dependence on paper billing or other traditional methods is now a thing of the past. Early adoption of EMR can iron out a lot of gaps that may eventually lead to delayed reimbursements, etc.
6. Population Increase: Every year the burden on medical facilities is only increasing. With inclusion of patients above the age of 65 in the insurance cover, there is a new age bracket of patients that doctors and hospitals need to attend to. These are new developments and thus remain areas for concerns.
7. Diseases: With advancements in economy and better living come greater problems like new diseases, allergies and health threats. It is thus important for all concerned in this industry to keep abreast with new disorders and diseases in order to update technology with the latest medical techniques and tests that may be required to deal with upcoming medical problems. One needs to account for these changes so as to not let the payment process suffer.
8. Revised CMS 1500 Form: CMS' newest form that accounts for new codes under ICD 10 guidelines is something that needs to be understood fast.
9. CPT Code Changes: With the AMA announcing a plethora of coding changes; it has become virtually cumbersome to still rely on manual coding. Time has come to adopt technology which eases out pressures on medical professionals. Frequent changes in this regard need an expert to stay abreast with it.
10. Data Documentation: The on-going threat to lower reimbursements and non-payments contributes to the fact that data is not been given its due importance. Unless a healthcare facility realizes that documentation of every data is crucial to their core business, nothing can be expected in the smooth functioning of a revenue cycle.
MedicalBillersandCoders.com has their eye set on adopting the above methods to bring efficiency to your systems. We are working round the clock to ensure that a hospital doesn't lose out on revenues due to non awareness of critical issues affecting this cycle.

The Supreme Court issued its decision in the closely followed case of Executive Benefits Insurance Agency v. Arkison, Chapter 7 Trustee of Estate of Bellingham Insurance Agency, Inc., 573 U.S. ___ (2014) (Bellingham) this morning, holding that where the Constitution bars a bankruptcy court from entering final judgment on a bankruptcy-related claim under the reasoning of Stern v. Marshall, 564 U.S. __, 131 S. Ct. 2594 (2011) (Stern), the court nevertheless is permitted to issue proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law to be reviewed de novo by the district court, which can then enter final judgment. This significant decision fills a "statutory gap" that had been created by Stern and provides a procedure by which bankruptcy courts may adjudicate claims that they were statutorily authorized but constitutionally prohibited from handling.
In Bellingham, a Chapter 7 bankruptcy trustee alleged that prior to filing for bankruptcy, the debtor, Bellingham Insurance Agency, Inc. (BIA), fraudulently conveyed certain of its assets to Executive Benefits Insurance Agency, Inc. (EBIA). The trustee filed an action asserting fraudulent conveyance claims against EBIA, which was not a creditor of BIA's estate. The bankruptcy court granted summary judgment to the trustee and, on appeal, the district court affirmed after conducting a de novo review of the record. EBIA appealed to the Ninth Circuit, which observed that, under Stern, Article III did not permit a bankruptcy court to enter final judgment on a fraudulent conveyance claim against a noncreditor without the parties' consent. Nevertheless, the Ninth Circuit affirmed on two alternative grounds: (i) the bankruptcy court's adjudication of the fraudulent conveyance claim was permissible because EBIA had impliedly consented to the bankruptcy court's jurisdiction, and (ii) the bankruptcy court's judgment could be treated as proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law that were reviewed de novo by the district court, whose affirmance was sufficient to constitute the final judgment for Article III purposes.
Stern held that Article III prohibits Congress from vesting a bankruptcy court with the authority to finally adjudicate certain claims listed as "core" claims under 28 U.S.C. § 157(b), but the Supreme Court did not address how the courts should proceed when ruling on such a claim. Stern therefore left a "statutory gap" because a Stern claim cannot be adjudicated to final judgment by the bankruptcy court, as in a typical core proceeding, but the alternative procedure, whereby the bankruptcy court submits proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law, statutorily applies only to non-core claims under 28 U.S.C. § 157(c). This "gap" thereby arguably left bankruptcy courts devoid of any authority to act on Stern claims and required the district courts to hear all such claims in the first instance.
In Bellingham, the Supreme Court closed this "gap" by interpreting the plain language of the severability provision in 28 U.S.C. §151, which provides that where a "provision of th[e] Act or [its] application ... is held invalid, the remainder of th[e] Act ... is not affected thereby." The Court held that when a court identifies a claim as a Stern claim, it has necessarily "held invalid" the application of Section 157(b), i.e., the "core" label and its attendant procedures, to the litigant's claim. In such a case, to effectuate the statutory purpose, the "non-core" label and its associated procedures under Section 157(c) must apply. Assuming that the fraudulent conveyance claims at issue were Stern claims that could not be finally determined by the bankruptcy court, the Supreme Court found that the claims clearly were "related to" the bankruptcy case and, therefore, otherwise fit within the category of claims governed by Section 157(c). Thus, it was permissible for the bankruptcy court to follow the Section 157(c) procedures and submit proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law to the district court for de novo review. Because the district court had, in fact, engaged in a de novo review of the bankruptcy court's order and entered its own final judgment, the Court ruled that any potential error in the bankruptcy court's entry of final judgment had been cured.
In Bellingham, the Supreme Court authorized bankruptcy courts to provisionally adjudicate Stern claims by following the procedure established under Section 157(c), i.e., through submission of proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law to the district court for de novo review and final judgment. The opinion therefore provides a clear, constitutionally acceptable procedure for handling "core" claims that cannot be finally determined by the bankruptcy court.
However, Bellingham expressly reserves and does not decide whether Article III permits a bankruptcy court to enter final judgment, subject only to appellate review, on a Stern claim with the consent of the parties. In addition, the Supreme Court noted that the district court's de novo review concluded in a written opinion. The requirement of a de novo review could add additional expense and require more time from already busy district courts.

Following in the evil footsteps of Disney's upcoming Maleficent movie, the studio is now prepping a live-action film based on another classic villainess: Cruella de Vil.
THR reports that Aline Brosh McKenna, who also wrote Kenneth Branagh's upcoming Cinderella movie, has been tapped to write the screenplay for Cruella, which will bring the fur-worshipping fashionista from 101 Dalmatians to life in a new feature film.
The character originated in Dodie Smith's 1956 novel The Hundred and One Dalmatians, but was made famous in Disney's 1961 animated movie 101 Dalmatians. This won't be Cruella's first live-action appearance either; Glenn Close portrayed the character in 1996's 101 Dalmatians and its sequel 102 Dalmatians.
While Close isn't expected to reprise her role for this latest take, she has signed on as an executive producer.

The pressure on Ohio Democratic Party Chairman Chris Redfern to step aside was ratcheted up today when the Ohio State Building and Construction Trades Council called for his ouster.
The pressure on Ohio Democratic Party Chairman Chris Redfern to step aside was ratcheted up today when two more labor unions called for his ouster.
In separate letters to the 66 members of the state party�s central committee, the Ohio State Building and Construction Trades Council and the Ohio State Association of Plumbers, Pipefitters and Sprinkler-Fitters called for Redfern to be replaced when the committee meets in April.
In their letter, Ralph G. White Jr. and R. Dean Brill, president and secretary-treasurer, respectively, of the plumbers and pipefitters union, threatened to withhold financial support to the party as long as Redfern is chairman.
Redfern, who oversaw the party�s disastrous statewide election in 2010, is drawing fire at the same time Gov. John Kasich and his allies are trying to overthrow Ohio Republican Party Chairman Kevin DeWine, despite the GOP�s sweeping success in 2010.
Saying their union �spent in excess of $2 million supporting the party and its issues with no success� in the 2010 general election, White and Brill told the central committee that asking the union�s 15,000 members to contribute more �funds once again in 2012 makes for questions in their union leadership if there is no change in state party leadership.�
Meanwhile, Dennis C. Duffey, secretary-treasurer of the building trades council, said his union � has voted to support the replacement� of Redfern.
Duffey�s letter said that Redfern should be ousted because of the �dismal voter turnout in the 2010 election after expending record amounts of money� and because Redfern is running simultaneously for the Ohio House and re-election to a new two-year term as party chairman.Each of those jobs deserves "the full attention of any individual,� Duffey said.
�With this being a presidential election year,� he continued, �the fear is that anything less than 100 percent of the state party chair�s undivided attention could result in a disastrous outcome for workers in the state of Ohio and nationwide.�
White and Brill said that Redfern �serving in the Ohio House along with running the day-to-day operations of the state party is not in the best interests of Ohio Democrats.�
The letters from the building-trades and plumbers and pipefitters unions follow a letter yesterday to the committee members from the 12,000-member Laborers� District Council of Ohio urging them not to re-elect Redfern.
Kenny Holland, secretary-treasurer of the Laborers, said his union lacks confidence in Redfern after the party suffered �a devastating defeat in the 2010 elections.�
Both the Laborers and the plumbers and pipefitters unions endorsed Anthony Giardini, vice chairman of the Lorain County Democratic Executive Committee, as the next chairman. Giardini announced in a letter to the central committee � the state party�s governing body � that he planned to challenge Redfern for chairman.
Reached today, Duffey said his building trades union � which has about 103,000 members statewide � has not been asked to endorse Giardini.
Redfern, who became state chairman in December of 2005, declined to comment today, but said yesterday that he has �overwhelming support of the members of the central committee.� He added that �differences and disagreements� among party loyalists are normal and �we always come together and move forward.�
The buildings trades union donated $50,000 to Republicans in 2011 and just $3,500 to Democrats. Duffey said those GOP donations were �part of the introduction process� and �that�s what we needed to do to get to some of those legislators to explain our positions.�
The building trades union gave $82,000 to Democrats and $8,000 to Republicans in 2010.
Campaign-finance reports showed that the plumbers and pipefitters union gave $48,500 to Republicans and $28,500 to Democrats in 2011.

Zhiyu (Rick) Shang
Zhiyu ("Rick") Shang was born in China and moved to the United States for college at Northwestern University. He has unfortunately broad interests in almost, well, everything. He has worked in the financial industry, IT and has done some entrepreneurship before he settled down to take a wide variety of courses in the humanities and social sciences. He decided to undertake philosophy only at the last minute before his graduation from college, when his enthusiasm for theory overcame his other, well, more mundane concerns.
He is mostly interested in political philosophy and 18-19th century German philosophy. As an immigrant, he is keenly aware that normativity, although not arbitrary, is highly historically and culturally dependent. His previous projects explored the historical source of the intelligibility and binding/prescriptive powers of norms and the intriguing phenomenon we call ideal: something we collectively aspire to, can almost never fulfill and often do not intend to fulfill.
He is now in the process of switching tracks. Realizing that 18-19th century German philosophy commands less interest in the current
Anglophone philosophy world, he is exploring other aspects of political philosophy and current trends in the field.
During his leisure time, he has a variety of hobbies. He runs a few not-for-profit organizations, writes code, and he blogs.

Foundry sells upscale shingles with a subtle wood grain pattern, as well as larger shingles with a bold, rustic look reminiscent of hand-cut aged cedar. CertainTeed offers the Cedar Impressions line of vinyl siding, including saw-edged shingles and double and triple straight-edged shingles in up to 30 different shades, depending on the product. Georgia-Pacific carries the Cedar Spectrum line with a hand-split version, a standard-shingle version and a round-cut Victorian-style version.

This, my dears, looks completely amusing.
The plot sounds a tad depressing in that Edwardian fashion, but the writing is terribly witty. Like- LOL, snort, LOL.
The heroine of Love's Shadow is the delightful Edith Ottley. She lives with her husband Brace and her two children in a very new, very small, very white flat in Knightsbridge. As we follow Edith's fortunes we enter the enchanting world of Edwardian London, bewitched by the courtships, jealousies and love affairs of Edith's coterie – Hyacinth, Eugenia, Charles and Cecil, Vincy, Madame Frabelle and many more.
The author was a friend of Oscar Wilde. Very obvious, as she writes similarly.
'There's only one thing I must really implore you, Edith,' said Bruce anxiously. 'Don't make me late at the office!'
'Certainly not, Bruce,' answered Edith sedately. She was seated opposite her husband at breakfast in a very new, very small, very white flat in Knightsbridge – exactly like thousands of other new, small, white flats. She was young and pretty, but not obvious. One might suppose that she was more subtle than was shown by her usual expression, which was merely cheerful and intelligent.
'Now I have to write that letter before I go,' Bruce exclaimed, starting up and looking at her reproachfully. 'Why didn't I write it last night?'
Edith hadn't the slightest idea, as she had heard nothing of the letter before, but, in the course of three years, she had learnt that it saved time to accept trifling injustices. So she looked guilty and a little remorseful. He magnanimously forgave her, and began to write the letter at a neat white writing-table.
'How many g's are there in "Raggett"?' he asked suspiciously.
She didn't answer, apparently overtaken by a sudden fit of absence of mind.
'Only one, of course! How absurd you are!' said her husband, laughing, as he finished the letter and came back to the table.
She poured out more coffee.

Judson Press celebrates the life and legacy of Rev. Dr. Samuel B. McKinney (1926-2018)
A Resolution to Honor Dr. Samuel B. McKinney
Afrocentricity seeks to rescue African history and heritage from its exile within our culture and encourage within African Americans the God-given self-esteem and dignity that have been eroded over the years. What better forum is there than the pulpit to proclaim hope through a clear message of freedom and worth?
These sermons will shock, inspire, agitate, and uplift as Rev. Waters strives to "heal the spirit of my people so that they can rise up and be the people of God." Foreword by Cain Hope Felder.

Sometimes when I'm trying to create content for clients (or write blog posts, as the case may be), I come up empty. Creativity—where did it go? Where did I leave all those great ideas I had in the shower? And why did I just spend twenty minutes watching cat videos on YouTube?
Turns out that the best road to creativity is not the nose-to-the grindstone approach. Researchers have shown that keeping your conscious mind busy with enjoyable, unrelated tasks can help prime your brain for the work ahead. In his book 59 Seconds: Think a Little, Change a Lot, psychologist Richard Wiseman outlines some ways to engage your subconscious:
All of these small acts of creativity will relaxingly prime your brain for work. They are ways of distracting the conscious part of your mind, which is quick, clever, not particularly innovative, but difficult to get out of your head. When the conscious mind is occupied, your creative unconscious has the time and space to play. The unconscious mind is capable of wonderful ideas, but they are often difficult to access. As Wiseman says,
Genuine creativity can come from spending just a few moments occupying your conscious mind, thus preventing it from interfering with the important and innovative activity in your unconscious. Everyone can be more creative—it is just a matter of keeping the loud guy [the conscious mind] in your head busy and giving the quiet guy [your unconscious] a chance to speak up.
Spend 59 seconds on something fun. When you return to your work, you'll have a fresh perspective and a better attitude.
I love visual art, so this week I'm looking at collages, which rely on the juxtaposition of images in a surprising way to generate new meaning. They're designed to provoke a sense of unconventionality and unconsciously inspire the viewer to become more creative. Here's an image from one of my favorite collage artists, Ginger Mayerson:
It's an untitled piece, so creating an appropriate title is my go-to exercise right now.
Remember, creative minds generate creative content!

Potentch New Year's Resolutions for the Characters in The Hunger Games
New Year's is just days away! Have you thought of your resolutions for 2014 yet? While you mull it over, we came up with some great ones, if we do say so ourselves, for our favorite characters from The Hunger Games. NOTE: All of the ones below are alive by the end of Catching Fire; just made more sense that way because the dead ones can't really make resolutions…
Branch out in the hairstyle department.
Prove more useful in the arena or arena-like situations.
Stop crying.
Show off hot body more often; Katniss will come a'running.
NOTHING! She's perfection.
Give up the sugar cubes; they're not entirely healthy. Can't ruin the figure.
Add Life Coach to the ol' resume.
When prompted, dole out better advice.
Invest in floss.
Stop talking about people like they're animals.
Want more? Check out the best stills and posters from the big-screen adaptation of Catching Fire in our ultimate gallery below!

On my drive home I decided that this bite was either a one time thing or the beginning of something bad. Unfortunately it was the latter. This is what he did to Madison's on Saturday...
I'm not sure where to go from here. I've gotten some advice and I'm willing to try most anything. Here's a photo of me at exactly 34 weeks I texted to my siblings. I don't know why, but I love to keep them up to date on my growing belly. I guess because I never get to see them in person.
I measured small at my 32 week appointment. I've always been right on at every appointment with all kids (saying "with all kids" cracks me up) including this one up until that week. My doctor scheduled me for an ultrasound at 34 weeks just to make sure he was growing well. I cried a little, but knew if she thought it was anything serious she would have had me looked at right away. So this past Tuesday Jason and I got to see baby boy Groff and he looks wonderful. They estimated him to be 5lbs and 6ozs which put him in the 50th percentile for size. My doctor said.. "perfect, not too big and not too small." Perfect was all I needed to hear. And she was right.. it was great to see him.
Oh.. and my ultrasound tech go to see not one, but two burn marks on my belly. One was from the iron and the second was from the skillet when I reached over the stove to get the pepper down while cooking eggs. I mean it's obviously big enough that I can't gage the distance!!
Tyler still has the worst gag reflex. It's a nightmare when he catches a cough. We put him down for a nap one day this week and he was just hacking in his crib. Two hours later with him screaming "all done" after not going to sleep, Jason went up to get him. He had coughed, gagged, and thrown up everywhere. I felt awful because it was all over him and had dried. I threw him in the tub. That was the day he learned to make a sprinkler out of my faucet. FABULOUS!
Madison waited until about three and a half to open doors and Tyler had it mastered months ago and the kid is not even two. Madison has never climbed my coffee table...
I guess I need to stop comparing and just brace myself for another boy! (I'm not normally this nice when I'm scolding my kids, but hey I was recording!)
I found him destroying my kitchen when I came out from doing laundry. When I showed up he screamed "NOOOOOOOO" as he was leaving the scene.
No is his favorite word...
We took the kids to see Elmo last weekend... They both loved the cotton candy. (The secret to keeping Tyler in his seat.
When the cotton candy ran out, Tyler had to check and see how the seats worked.
He did like the show, but enjoyed the $10 balloon a lot more....
The kids have officially moved rooms. Madison needed to have the guest room with her own bathroom eventually so I went ahead and moved her there since I had to move Tyler anyway. I didn't want to move him again in the future so we just decided to move everyone at once. The boys will share the jack and jill. The baby is just going to move right into Tyler's nursery so Tyler moved to Madison's room. I'm still working on his room. The big starts are his big boy sheets from Serena and Lily and the little stars are the sheets for his crib (yep we bought another crib) from Target!!!!
A tiny sneak peak at Madison's new room. It will be a while before I post the room reveal. I'm waiting on her headboards due at the end of March!! (This cell picture does not do the colors justice.. the colors are way off!)
Her spring soccer pictures CRACK ME UP!! Can you believe that is a green screen and not a real soccer field...?? BAHHAA! Oh and I should have never made fun of her friends green soccer uniform last fall. Karma...
I've been making the kids whole wheat banana pancakes from a recipe I found on pinterest
The weather has been crazy warm here so we have spent a lot of time outside. My little gardeners!
One February afternoon it hit almost 90! We broke out the water bottles and the kids loved it!
Tyler after another "blow out.." It was warm enough to not break out another pair of pants. By baby number three I would just rather have him run around half naked than to have more laundry.
I spent a lot.. A LOT of time last week prepping all of Madison's clothes for a huge consignment sale here. This wasn't even all of them. I've spent a few months selling to friends first. I had all of this left which was mainly clothes under 2T. I had more in the closet too. I had to iron and hang all of them. I also had to load them all into a system and tag them. I cried a little as my friends bought up the clothes. It caught me a little off guard. I guess it's the memories. Jason and I are confident that three under the age of four is plenty of little Groffs in one house so I decided to let her clothes go.
I snapped this of Madison on the way to school. She and I go back and forth every morning about what she can take into school. She's allowed her lovey and one stuffed animal. Car rides usually look like this...
Whoever doesn't make the cut for school that day stay in the car so she can greet them when I pick her up. She is OBSESSED with stuffed animals.
On the ride home from dance this week Madison and I had an amazing sunset. So amazing that I had to snap a shot with my phone when we got home. This photo does not do it justice!

Cloud technologies - an essential step in the digital transformation journey
The cloud offers a wide range of benefits to businesses, from start-ups to local companies and large enterprises. It's giving fresh new start-ups a competitive edge, as they can begin using the cloud immediately without having to consider integrating clunky legacy systems. There are no servers in the backroom, no resistance from Doris in accounts who likes her 1990 interface; new businesses can adopt a cloud-first approach.
But whether you're a start-up, an established small business or a worldwide global behemoth, there's a place for the cloud in your business. It's clear that executives are aware of this, with 63% of business leaders planning to move their entire IT estate into the cloud (CIF). What's more, 95% of businesses are currently utilising the cloud in some capacity (RightScale), which is encouraging.
Moving to, or integrating, cloud services is an essential step in the digital transformation journey; the use of technology to improve productivity, customer service and profitability. The beauty of the cloud is scalability, particularly when it comes to Software-as-a-Service (Saas) and Infrastructure-as-a-Service (Iaas). Flexible pricing and licensing structures take the headache out of implementing the cloud. Your cloud services grow with your business.
Scalability isn't the only upside to the cloud; there are significant cost-savings to be made when moving to the cloud. You'll see an immediate ROI in the reduced need for on-premise server space. SaaS clouds significantly reduce the CapEx required to upgrade, move to or implement a new system by spreading it out into a monthly subscription, usually per-user-per-month.
There are a number of different cloud solutions available, giving you the option to choose the one that fits the needs of your business. Private clouds effectively remove the need for your on-premise server, managing your business' dedicated storage and systems in a remote datacentre. The public cloud hosts apps that are widely available, using shared resources managed by the cloud provider. The hybrid cloud is the most common used by businesses, and is the power behind widely-used services including Office 365 and the upcoming cloud-only Business Management Solution (BMS) Dynamics 365. The hybrid cloud hosts applications that are publicly available, but that have private tenants for each business/user; hybrid clouds blend public services with the private cloud.
Whilst it's a no-brainer to utilise the cloud in a number of capacities, many businesses face an uphill battle when it comes to implementing cloud services. An Oracle survey revealed that outdated systems and shadow IT are significant barriers, as incompatible software is often purchased without IT's knowledge or consent - this is often the case with HR and Finance. In a similar vein, getting buy-in from around the business can often prove difficult. There is a lot of scaremongering around the cloud, particularly in regard to security, but most of the time, the cloud can offer more robust security. With secured, manned datacentres and backup servers, many cloud hosts have more protections in place than your office will likely have.
This handy infographic from UK IT support solutions company, TSG, contains everything you need to know about the cloud, including some statistics on current cloud usage in businesses, the different permutations of the cloud, the benefits to be realised, and the areas you need to take into consideration before moving to the cloud.

American Idol is a guilty pleasure for the Amazing Jake. I like to tell people that I watch it because it's one of the only things on TV I can watch with the kids, other than Nickleodeon or Disney. But I do enjoy it nonetheless.
The mini-Jakes and I sit together in the recliner, and the Amazing Mrs. Jake watches from the couch, and it's really the only show that all four of us sit down to watch together. The mini-Jakes like Kelly and Ace, Mrs. Jake likes Paris, and I like Chris, Katharine, and Elliott. So between us, we've got them all covered except for Taylor.
So I watched the last 5 minutes of the results show tonight after the kids got down to bed. I wasn't expecting Chris and Paris to be in the bottom 3 with Ace. I have to say, Tuesday night, everyone brought their A-games except for Kelly, and I thought that was her ticket home. I'm glad it was Ace – I can't stand the way he bats his eyes at the camera. He should have gone after last week with that atrocious performance of We Will Rock You.
We'll watch the whole thing Thursday night on TiVo, followed by a good Dr. Seuss or two.

Evgeny Katz Named Milton Kerker Endowed Chair of Colloid Science at Clarkson University
The Milton Kerker Endowed Chair in Colloid Science was created in 2003 in honor of Professor Emeritus Milton Kerker, who made an unparalleled contribution in elevating the stature of Clarkson's School of Science during 42 years of service, from 1949 to 1991. Kerker also served as dean of the Departments of Physics and Mathematics and launched the Department of Biology at Clarkson. He was a world-renowned authority on aerosols and light scattering. Funding for the chair was provided by an endowment established by the Wallace H. Coulter Foundation to support colloid research.
Katz received his B.Sc and M.Sc degree in Chemical Engineering from D.I. Mendeleyev Chemical Engineering University, Moscow, graduating Summa Cum Laude. He received a Ph.D. in Chemistry from the A.N. Frumkin Institute of Electrochemistry, Moscow. He is an expert in colloid science, nanomaterials and bioelectronics and has authored or co-authored 320 articles for scholarly journals, book chapters and conferences. Katz holds more than 20 international patents. He has taught and conducted research at the world's top universities in Russia, Spain, Germany and Jerusalem.
Even at the beginning of his scientific career, Evgeny was among the most promising scientists of my generation, says fellow Russian Aleksandr Simonian, associate professor in the Materials Research and Education Center of Auburn University. We both participated in scientific meetings and conferences in the former Soviet Union and the USA. I know his extraordinary scientific works in the area of colloid science, bioelectrochemistry, biosensors, and surface modifications.
Evgeny is known and highly respected throughout the world for his work in colloid chemistry and bioelectrochemistry, remarked Thomas Young, provost at Clarkson University. His breakthrough contributions in multiple areas of colloid science, bioelectrochemistry, surface chemistry, biosensor and fuel cell technology have helped attract attention, researchers and funding to these important areas of science. By establishing the Milton Kerker Endowed Chair, Young continued, the Coulter Foundation gave Clarkson the opportunity to attract the very best and brightest from the field of colloid science, and in bringing Dr. Evgeny Katz to Clarkson, we have done so.
Clarkson University, located in Potsdam, New York, is a private, nationally ranked university with a reputation for developing innovative leaders in engineering, business, the sciences, health sciences and the humanities. At Clarkson, 3,000 high-ability students excel in an environment where learning is not only positive, friendly and supportive but spans the boundaries of traditional disciplines and knowledge. Faculty achieves international recognition for their research and scholarship and connects students to their leadership potential in the marketplace through dynamic, real-world problem solving.

Here are two recent photos:
The information by Lost Memmory should be clarified: There are two John Groys in the Groy Family…John Sr. and John Jr.
John Senior is the actual current owner and he is the one who constructed it. It was named for John Sr.'s first wife, Pearl Hazard-Groy (now deceased), John Jr.'s mother. John Jr. manages the Comanche Drive In in Buena Vista. This theater was constructed in the remains of a defunct harware warehouse. It is a wonderful theater and anyone in the area should visit when it is open.
The Groy Family also owns The Unique Theater in Salida, Colorado and The Comanche Drive In which all still operate. They also owned and operated at one time: The Ute Theater, Saguache,CO, The Pines Theater, Buena Vista,Co, and the Groy Drive In, Salida,CO all of which are now closed.
A 1985 view of the Pearl Theater in Buena Vista.
The booth at The Pearl contains two Simplex E-7 projectors running 2 thousand foot changeover with Motiograph magazines and xenon lamphouses. It is also notable that the booth ceiling is extremely low, do to existing support beams. I stand 6'3" and had to stoop considerably when walking around the booth.
The Pearl Theater has been closed for a number of years, unfortunately. And to Anthony's comment above—the Unique Theater in Salida is no longer operating either.
