Teachers for sensible drug policy...
This is what illegal campaigning looks like...
Tell Walters to resign.
Tuesday, July 17, 2007
The Nation on Scooter Libby and nonviolent drug offenders
Writing to President Bush, Pollitt highlights the loss of student aid for college as a particularly devastating drug penalty:
But perhaps you are looking for one big compassionate gesture that would help a lot of people all at once and not require asking your friends and relatives embarrassing questions. With one stroke of your pen, you could pardon 200,000 young people. These are the youths who have fallen afoul of the drug provision of the 1998 Higher Education Act, which bars federal student aid to anyone convicted of a state or federal drug offense. That includes everything from government scholarships to work-study jobs. Unlike Libby, a middle-aged high-powered lawyer of considerable worldliness and wealth, these are just teenagers, who are famous for being idiots, and they violated laws that are broken every day by millions of normal, upstanding, productive citizens, including many Republicans. I don't think that can be said of lying to the FBI. Most people, even most Republicans, take that one pretty seriously. Also unlike Libby, these offenders have already paid their debt to society. Now they are dropping out of college, or not going--unless, of course, their parents can afford to pay full freight. Talk about unintended consequences--a law meant to warn kids away from drugs ends up keeping them out of college, but only if they're poor. You always say no child should be left behind. Pardon them, and people might begin to believe you actually mean it.It's true. Students who rely on financial aid to pay for school are often forced to drop out immediately after being convicted of a drug offense, while the well-to-do often 1) can afford a good lawyer to avoid a conviction in the first place or 2) know someone who can commute their sentence.
If you think it's best that students with drug convictions stay in school and on the path to success - regardless of how you feel about Messrs. Bush and Libby - you can easily send a letter to your legislators asking them to overturn the aid elimination penalty.
Partisan Republican Drug Czar must resign
In an e-mail from ONDCP White House liason Doug Simon, he commends Karl Rove for orchestrating the operation, and thanks other members of his office, including Drug Czar John Walters, "because they actually had to give up time with their families for the god awful places we sent them."
With such disdain for those districts coming from the Republican administration, is it really any wonder that Democrats swept Congress last November?
And it is not only offensive that an someone charged with crafting sensible policies to address the serious harms of drug abuse and drug prohibition would waste government resources and time on partisan politics, it is a blatant violation of the federal Hatch Act.
Hrmmm... political appointees abusing their office for partisan purposes. Sound familiar?
Please join us in calling for the Drug Czar to resign in the wake of this outrageous scandal. Just enter your e-mail address below and the rest of your info on the following page. A letter will be sent directly to the Drug Czar. And your members of Congress - who control ONDCP's budget - will be copied on the message.
Even if the Drug Czar doesn't listen to us, our lawmakers who are CC'ed on our messages will have to. Take action now!
BREAKING: Drug Czar spending YOUR money on helping friends win elections
Today, the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform (one of my personal favorite committees), announced that the Office of National Drug Control Policy spent taxpayer money trying to get friends of the Bush administration elected last year.
...and his friends.
At the request of Sara Taylor, the former White House Director of Political Affairs, John Walters, the nation's drug czar, and his deputies traveled to 20 events with vulnerable Republican members of Congress in the months prior to the 2006 elections. The trips were paid for by federal taxpayers and several were combined with the announcement of federal grants or actions that benefited the districts of the Republican members.
A November 20, 2006, memo from Ms. Taylor summarizes the travel Director Walters took at her request. An agency e-mail sent the following day describes how Karl Rove commended the historically nonpartisan Office of National Drug Control Policy and three cabinet departments – Commerce, Transportation, and Agriculture – for "going above and beyond the call of duty" in making "surrogate appearances" at locations the e-mail described as "the god awful places we sent them." Other documents include an e-mail from the Interior Department to Ms. Taylor's predecessor stating: "these folks need to be reminded who they work for and how their geographical travel can benefit this President."
Walters is probably having a bad day. Not only is Congress likely going to cut his office's advertising and drug testing budget as they've done for the past several years, but Oversight Committee Chairman Henry Waxman sent Walters a laundry list of demands related to the political motivations behind his travels.
Recite after me, Johnny. "I don't recall being aware of.... I don't recall being aware of..."
[Thanks, Sanho]
Harry Pothead: The Sorceror's Stoned
I'm not so embarassed about that, not even the cape part. What is embarassing is the fact that, circa 2000, I wrote a story entitled "Harry Pothead: The Sorceror's Stoned." I posted it on fanfiction.net along with my other really horrible stories about Legend of Zelda, Harry Potter, and the X-men. (No, I am not providing a link here. Go find it yourself.) If you are not familiar with fanfiction.net, that's okay; you live a relatively normal lifestyle. If you are familiar, then you are laughing heartily with me right now. Or at me. I don't mind.
It was basically reefer madness, Hogwarts style. I had forgotten what D.A.R.E. had taught me about how to ingest marijuana, so I simply made it "magical" marijuana so powerful that just being in a greenhouse with it could get you buzzed. I did, however, remember D.A.R.E.'s claims about the drug's effects. As in Reefer Madness, one mere toke got Jimmy I mean Harry hooked. Here are some excerpts:
From Chapter One, in which the plant is introduced in Herbology class and Hermione is too stoned to answer Professor Sprout's question:
"Marijuana, also known as 'pot', is a powerful, illegal drug that can be smoked or eaten. Its effects include dizzyness, violence, hallucinations, aggression, and loss of coordination. Using, holding, buying, or selling marijuana results in jail time and suspension from school," Lavender answered, sounding like she'd swallowed the D.A.R.E. workbook. [I actually did consult my old workbook for this.]
In chapter two, Harry gets hooked through a series of events involving innocent curiosity and a freak wand accident. Deus ex machina like whoa.
In chapter three, Draco Malfoy makes fun of the crazy things Harry did while high and consequently gets punched in the face by an unusually aggressive Harry.
Chapter Four and thankfully the final chapter, in which Fred and George Weasley drug everybody as a prank and the strung out Professor Trelawney saves the day thanks to her high tolerance:
"YOU DRUGGED UP DRACO MALFOY?" Hermione thundered, looking like a crazed angry rhinocerous. Then she started laughing insanely at something behind the Weasley twins.
"Yo dudes, what's shakin'? I'm feelin' some bad vibes, man," Snape said. He was wearing tie-dyed robes and his oily hair hung over his face.
"Yes we did, Hermione," George whispered. "But we didn't stop at just ONE little Slytherin first year... we had lots left, why waste it?" Everyone who heard this statement either eyed their goblets suspiciously or spat out their pumpkin juice in horror.
"Whoa, dudes!" Snape jumped in alarm as everyone sprayed him with their spat-out pumpkin juice. "Love and peace, man, love and peace."
Make of it what you will.
There was going to be a sequel, Harry Pothead and the Scent Dogs from Azkaban. That fic would probably more serve the drug policy reform side than the anti-drug propaganda side. Perhaps I shall redeem myself by writing it, or a different and more hilarious version of the original... but then I'd have to redeem myself again just for writing fanfiction, so I dunno. (Said the girl who's going to a midnight release in costume. Seriously, what do I have to lose?)
Monday, July 16, 2007
You know what's awesome?
It would probably be more effective if I were myself a police officer, but I did give a brief explanation and I did see him read the quote on the back of the postcard: "Of the hundreds of conferences I've attended in my career, this was the best." -Norm Stamper, former Seattle police cheif, Law Enforcement Against Prohibition. And he did say thanks.
Seems unlikely that a little postcard will change the guy's mind about drug policy, especially since it's relatively early in his career, but I've been carrying those damn invitations around since they gave 'em to me at the SSDP National Office. So now I'm being the Johnny Appleseed of drug policy reform. Or the Jehovah's Witness, but with less doors slamming in my face.
So, what would you do with a pile of colorful, 5 1/2 x 8" invitations?
P.S. The summer '07 edition of SSDP's newsletter is out, didya read it?

Bret Michaels updates fans after health scare
Bret Michaels has a special message for fans after a sudden health crisis led to a scary onstage moment.
Good news for Bret Michaels fans: The star is on the mend and ready to rock.
Days after collapsing onstage due to a serious health crisis caused by a major case of the flu and his Type 1 diabetes, Michaels says he is well enough to fly home and see his children.
"Apologies for the pale white face," he said in a message to fans released today. "It's the first day I've been able to fly to the kids. There is not enough thanks that I can send to the awesome fans, friends, family and medical staff for their help and well wishes. You all rock!"
Per doctor's orders, Michaels had to cancel several shows but already plans to head back onstage as soon as June 13.
"As previously posted, regrettably Bret Michaels will not be able to perform tonight in Albany, New York, due to continued illness and diabetes complications related to the Nora flu virus," his team wrote on Facebook.
"Our apologies to all the fans. We are hoping that this will all be under control and Bret will be better in the next few days. At this time Michaels is planning to resume performances as scheduled in St. Louis on June 13th at the Jefferson Barracks. Thank you for your continued support!"
The attack was just the latest in a string of health issues Michaels has suffered in recent years. After suffering a brain hemorrhage in 2010 followed by a stroke, the former Poison front man underwent heart surgery in 2011 and has been managing Type 1 diabetes since he was a child.

Stripology Technique Class
Time: 6:00pm to 9:00pm
Teacher: Barb Miller
Fee: $10.00
$10.00 refundable deposit to hold your space.
Class Fee: FREE with purchase of ruler
This technique class will show you how to use the Stripology ruler. I absolutely love this ruler as I can cut half inches, whole inches, quarter inches and three-quarter inches very quickly and up to 10 layers at a time with a new sharp blade! (I cut a log cabin quilt in 30 minutes). Talk about fast! Anyway…. I have made 5 out of the 6 patterns from the Stripology 2 book using this ruler. The book is great as it has 6 patterns with 3 sizes each for a total of 18 projects-all using 1 1/2" strips. The sizes are mini, tablerunner and crib . I will demo the ruler in class and you can choose which project you want to make or simply learn how to use the ruler.

The DeBary SunRail station hasn't opened yet, but local government officials are at odds over who should pay for maintenance and security there.
Volusia County Chair Jason Davis wrote in a recent letter that he thinks it should be the city of DeBary.
But DeBary Mayor Bob Garcia declined the offer this week in his own letter.
With the commuter-rail train scheduled to start operating between DeBary and Orlando in May 2014, the County Council noted that the Florida Department of Transportation is responsible for platform maintenance and train security, "but not the area around the station."
In a letter Feb. 28, Davis noted the county's financial commitment to bringing SunRail to DeBary — more than $80 million over 30 years.
"In the opinion of the County Council, it is fair and logical your city, a primary beneficiary of SunRail, assume responsibility for the maintenance and security of the DeBary station," Davis wrote. "I hope you agree the county has been a cooperative partner with the City of DeBary on many endeavors.
"The city's assumption of the responsibilities for your SunRail Station would be a great way to continue our longstanding relationship."
But city officials complained about the request at a March 20 workshop, and Garcia wrote a response to Davis on Thursday.
"We are reluctant to take on additional unknown costs at this time," Garcia wrote.
The disagreement comes as county officials are proposing changes that would reduce several sources of revenue for local cities.
DeBary Councilwoman Lita Handy-Peters said she was disappointed the County Council was considering altering the rules for community redevelopment areas, as DeBary was considering establishing such a district. Fifteen CRAs in Volusia County concentrate tax money into blighted areas, helping generate new development. But under the proposed changes, cities without CRAs, such as DeBary, would see dramatic reductions in available funding.
Handy-Peters also questioned the county's commitment to fairness in the distribution of the local-option gas tax, a source of money for local transportation projects.
"The current distribution plan proposed by Volusia County would reduce the City of DeBary's revenue by approximately $177,000," Garcia wrote, adding that a proposal under consideration by the state Legislature could reduce city revenue from the Communication Service Tax by $734,000.
"It is with these thoughts in mind and not unwillingness to cooperate that the City Council has made the decision that it must decline your request at this time," Garcia wrote to Davis.
Neither letter mentions a projected cost or details about the scope of responsibility for maintenance and security at the DeBary station. A parking lot with 140 spaces is expected to be opened when the train starts rolling.
Maintenance costs for DeBary SunRail station spark dispute
The DeBary SunRail station hasn't opened yet, but local government officials are at odds over who should pay for maintenance and security there.

Keri believes that the best food is slow-cooked, love-imbued, rich in nutrients and texturally and colorfully vibrant.

She uses seasonality, locality, diversity and beauty as her north stars, and each menu that she creates reflects the bounty and breadth of the local foodshed at a specific moment in time. It is her intention as a cook to not only nourish the body but also to reconnect the spirit to the land and its cycles.
Sally is passionate about teaching, healing and sharing with others the practices that have helped her to heal her own body and discover a path of transformation and greater self awareness.
Growing up in Scotland, Sally has been an athlete since childhood, always loving movement and fascinated by the human body and the mind.

My first book, Home for Now: Making your Rented Space or First Home Beautiful, was published in April 2014 by Cico Books. Offering both inspirational and practical solutions to the ever-growing number of people struggling to get on, or move up, the property ladder, it shows that not being in your "forever" home needn't be a barrier to transforming your house into a home: all that's needed is a little creative thinking, outside of the box.
Featuring 15 stunning homes, most of which are rented or first-time-owned themselves, the book is broken down by area: Living Spaces, Kitchens, Dining, Bedrooms, Bathrooms, Creative Workspaces and Plants, Outdoor Living, and is packed with styling, craft and DIY tips to inspire both renters and renovators to try out the ideas themselves. Full step-by-step projects feature at the end of each chapter, specifically chosen with inexperienced DIY'ers in mind, whilst renters' needs are more than taken into account, with landlord-friendly adaptations of many of its DIY and styling ideas.
WHERE TO BUY: For a personally signed and inscribed copy, please visit my shop page to make a purchase online. If you are outside the UK and would like to purchase a signed copy, please email me for a shipping quote.

Pesticides Contaminate Frogs in California National Parks
(Beyond Pesticides, July 30, 2013) A recent study published in Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry found levels of pesticide contamination from agricultural drift in Pacific Tree frogs in remote mountain areas including national parks. The study supports past research on the pesticide transport through atmospheric dust and rain. To conduct the study, researchers collected Pacific Chorus frogs, as well as water and sediment samples, from seven ponds ranging from Lassen Volcanic National Park at the northern most location of Central Valley to the Giant Sequoia National Monument. The samples were tested for 98 types of pesticides, traces of which were found in frog tissues from all sites. Two fungicides, pyraclostrobin and tebuconazole, and one herbicide, simazine, were the most frequently detected compound. This was the first time these compounds have ever been reported in wild frog tissues. According to the study, chemical concentrations are often higher in the frog tissue than the environment. This happens as frogs store up small exposures over time, allowing pesticides to bioaccumulate in their bodies. Exposure to pesticides can decrease frog's immune system and increase their risk of disease. Continual pesticide exposure has led to dramatic declines in amphibian populations. Amphibians are considered the most threatened […]

It hasn't even been a month since I planted my first plants and already they have come so far. A few of the plants have taken their sweet time in growing and yesterday I noticed that we have Anaheim pepper plants.
And the herbs I planted the weekend before last have sprouted.
They are mini plants.... so cute
Even the one that got knocked over by the landscapers has sprouted.... whew!
The larger plants are really starting to get bigger as well.... the package says 55 days till you can harvest cucumbers and green beans. So only about 30 more days hopefully.
I think soon we will need to introduce the posts for the vines to go up.
Then there's the one pot that just isn't growing yet. It really makes me sad although it still has a little time.

A growing number of people are looking for less expensive, more convenient ways to get medical care - and the market place is responding.
CVS is where Christi Milledge and her family typically end up.
"If I know it's something like pink eye, or strep, I love a minute clinic," said Milledge.
It's close to her house and she knows she'll be in and out in 20 minutes. A visit to her primary care doctor is more of a commitment. Then there's the cost
"For us, with our insurance, it is so much cheaper than a primary care visit," said Milledge.
She's one of a growing number of people turning to retail clinics, and the number of those clinics in the U.S. is skyrocketing.
According to researchers at Rand Health, the first clinics began opening in 2000, and by 2010, they numbered close to 1,200. Now there are even more. The number of visits quadrupled from 2007 to 2009. Primary care physicians are aware of the trend.
Some doctors says the need will only continue to increase with the Affordable Care Act.
According to the study, more people with insurance will drive the need for primary care doctors - which could reduce patient access. Dr. Rhodes does believe retail clinics have their place, but the problem with seeing different practitioners all the time is there is no continuity of care.
"The best care and most cost-effective care is in a medical home by the doctor who knows them and has known them for years," said Rhodes.
So he's doing what he can to stay competitive: extending his hours, working weekends, hoping to keep patients like Christi in his office instead.
If you visit one of these clinics, make sure to get copies of all your paperwork. Take those copies to your primary care physician so they can keep an accurate record of your medical history.

Hello Alice,
I regularly use a mobile phone. I read that there is a possibility that you can get cancer, because of the "radiation" of a mobile phone.
Is this true?
Greetings from The Netherlands
Dear Greetings from The Netherlands,
Given that there are approximately 5 billion cell phone users worldwide, this is a very important question! Several major studies done in the past have shown no consistent relationship between cell phone use and cancers of the brain, nerves, and head/neck area. However, cell phone technology and the use of cell phones have been changing so rapidly that more research is always needed.
Keep in mind that modern cell phones operate at a different frequency level and at a lower power level than previous phones. Additionally, modern cell phone usage has changed dramatically with the focus shifting away from making calls to texting and using Internet applications. To date, no real studies have been done on texting and app usage and their effects on cancer risk.
Cell phones emit radiofrequency energy, a form of non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation that can be absorbed by tissues near the phone when the phone is operating. The amount of radiofrequency energy that a user is exposed to depends on the technology of the phone, the distance between the phone's antenna and the user, the extent and type of use, and the user's distance from cell phone towers. However, to date there is no evidence from studies of cells, animals, or humans that radiofrequency energy can cause cancer. The other type of radiation — ionizing radiation — is much more powerful. It is able to damage the DNA in your cells, which can potentially cause cancer.
While cell phones radiation cannot damage your DNA, cell phone use can cause tissues near the cell phone to heat up from the radiofrequency energy (similar to a microwave). It has also been shown that extended use of a cell phone caused brain tissues on the same side as the phone's antenna to metabolize more glucose than tissues on the opposite side. The heating from the cell phone has also been demonstrated to increase blood flow to the brain. However, the effects of these observed effects are still unknown.
So, if you have minutes available on your calling plan, you can ring your friends and family with the news. If you are still concerned, limiting the time you spend on your cell, opting for a plugged-in phone whenever possible, and using an ear piece/headset or speakerphone instead will help limit your exposure to radiofrequency energy. In all, experts recommend limiting daily cell phone usage to less than 30 minutes a day. For more information, you may want to check out the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Center for Devices and Radiological Health web site. Information is calling!Alice!

From Roswell, Georgia, USA:
I was recently made aware of a middle-aged male diabetic who is currently testing a type of implantable pump. From what I understand, the pump was surgically implanted and he uses a remote transmitter to instruct the pump as to how much insulin to secrete. Are you aware of this? What more can you tell me?
Human trials of a subcutaneous insulin pump have been underway for several years. There are two reports from French groups on the use of implantable pumps which delivered the insulin into the peritoneal cavity; but seemed to offer no special advantages except some reduction in the incidence of hypoglycemia. In one of the studies the average in situ life of the was about three years. No implantable insulin pump has yet been approved by the FDA for use in the U.S.
For now, the emphasis is on combining the very sophisticated modern pumps with a subcutaneous glucose sensor into a single external unit. It is likely to be several years yet though before absolutely fail-safe systems can be devised to warrant linking the sensor directly to the pump controls.

Since Bjorn Borg returned to professional tennis in July, after a self-imposed exile that lasted approximately six months, he has not been the same incredible machine that once crushed opponents like they were so many aluminum cans.
The impeccable rhythm is not always there now; the topspin not always as pronounced; the ability to break back and win after falling behind not nearly as formidable. Still it is difficult to criticize a man who has already beaten John McEnroe, Jimmy Connors, and Ivan Lendl at least once since rejoining his contemporaries.
Talking with Borg about his return to competition is like opening up a box of tired, old cliches. After Connors beat him in an exhibition at the LA Forum recently, Bjorn told inquiring reporters that he was ''coming along.'' Since he has never liked interviews, he tends to answer all questions as briefly as possible.
The way to Borg is through his longtime friend and coach and Swedish countryman Lennart Bergelin, who is not only close to him professionally but also personally. Even though Borg (as a young player) resisted when others tried to change his game, he made some helpful adjustments for Bergelin in his serve and baseline style that made him tougher to beat.
Asked about Borg's comeback, Bergelin replied: ''Four or five years ago Bjorn was 15 to 20 percent better than he is now. But that is not something to worry about, because you know that in time, he will get it all back. The ability is still there and so is the desire to practice long hours every day. Maybe the confidence on every shot is not quite what it used to be, but it can also be regained.
''Considering the quality of the competition in professional tennis, it is not easy to lay off and begin again at the same level,'' Lennart added. ''Borg's game is not quite as fast as it used to be and he is not getting under the ball on his return the way he once did. They are mistakes, but a good player will learn from his mistakes and go on. In a little while, you will see a different Borg. In the meantime he can speed things up by continuing to play people the caliber of Connors, McEnroe, and Lendl.''
Although Borg has won major titles in every corner of the globe (including five Wimbledons) and on surfaces both hard and soft and somewhere in between, the US Open Championship has so far escaped him.
Why Bjorn has not captured the Open is a question Bergelin has to volley almost everywhere he goes.
''It is a difficult question for anyone to answer, because every time at the Open he has played well,'' Lennart said. ''On at least a couple of occasions when Borg was ahead in the fifth set, he let another great player, who suddenly got hot, come back and beat him. It happens sometimes. But of course he wants at least one Open title before he quits. His time will come and he will make the most of it.''
It used to be said of Borg that his opponent must beat him on every point, because there was very little chance of him beating himself. And those who did occasionally beat him usually did so in the early rounds of a tournament, before he had a chance to get the feel of the court and establish his game.
To Borg, tennis is not a sport but a test of his iron will. He rules his emotions so completely that there is practically no way an opponent can know what he is thinking. If he is upset, he hides it. If he is injured, he often plays without batting an eye.
When Borg is at his peak, perhaps the most remarkable part of his game is his consistency. He simply doesn't make bad shots; his return of service nails his opponent to the baseline; and although he appears to be holding a tennis racket, it is really a camouflaged stiletto.
''I don't know another pro who can make the ball drop so fast in front of an opponent that it will untie his shoelaces,'' said tennis teacher Vic Braden. Added Arthur Ashe: ''Nothing Borg hits ever comes straight at you. All the time you're having to compensate for what he does instead of playing your own game.''
If anybody is wondering how Borg spent his six months away from tennis - that is, other than enjoying life with his wife Mariana - Bergelin can bring him up to date.
''Bjorn often played ice hockey with a club team,'' Lennart said. ''He likes to skate and I think the informal atmosphere of it all relaxed him.''

Blogs remain one of those "things" that engenders debate, especially in the analyst community. Some feel that blogs offer nothing really new – that they duplicate other functionality that already exists in portals, content managers, teamware, discussion forums or personal web publishing tools. Others argue that are an indulgence for people to rant-and-rave about anything-everything-and-nothing and that the effort to find good sources of credible (edited and fact-checked) information is not worth the effort. And still others argue that such a "stream of consciousness" can create problems due to misinterpretation and use out of context.
Everyone is right. Everyone is wrong.
I would agree that blogs are recombinant. They do "package" functions found in other tools. To argue otherwise is to ignore the obvious. There's nothing new to a publish-and-subscribe model. There is nothing new to posting comments in reply to something read. There is nothing new to linking across a set of pages. There is nothing new regarding template-based publishing. So blogs are evolutionary rather than revolutionary when you look at what goes on behind the firewall. But that doesn't make it a bad thing. Blogs as a tool for diary/journal type applications are not easily duplicated with other software and more complex infrastructure. As with any new technology, there are application functions that will shift to or integrate with infrastructure over time. I would expect the Archive feature of blogs to connect to a document or records management system for instance. I believe an enterprise needs a strategy around aggregation/syndication (e.g., RSS). And with any technology there needs to be a plan – business, organizational, technological – to ensure that tools are introduced the right way. There needs to be a business case and metrics. Nothing new – good IT shops have best practices for introducing and managing technology. Blogs should not get a free pass. Sponsors need to establish a business case around the value from blogs and IT groups need to provide an impact assessment that compares/contrasts what existing tools can already deliver. In some cases, blogs are the wrong tool. In other cases, they are the right tool. There's nothing new here – no silver bullet – just solid due diligence around business/IT alignment.
Now, what about "know it alls" or other personality types that might abuse blogs to express an opinion (relevant or not to the enterprise). It's a valid point. But we have those problems with e-mail and discussion forums – we address that via policies and procedures and other governance practices to ensure appropriate and proper conduct. One could establish a framework so that blogs are cataloged and centralized. Bloggers could be limited to an approved set of subject matter experts. There are a variety of tactics to help condition the organization. Once management is comfortable and there's a history of good and bad practices, controls could be modified to fit a more known situation. There clearly is a valid concern around credibility and fact-checking. But it's also naïve to think that this information is not passed along in normal conversations via e-mail or face to face exchanges.
Finally, there's the issue of how precise communication needs to be in order to communicate effectively. This is a more interesting debate. Organizations communicate across a variety of channels that are formal and informal. Some communication is vertical in nature (top-down, CXO to manager to supervisor to worker, or some variant of that set of roles). Other communication is horizontal, more peer to peer. When we say "precise" what do we mean? Clearly if I am "telling" someone to do something we need to be precise (clarity, set expectations). But often times we are also interacting in order to make sense of something – to determine the meaning of particular work practice or process for instance. That dialog is often NOT precise.
In fact, reaching "clarity" often becomes a repetitive and iterative series of interactions (sometimes involving a team or community) in order to make something more precise. Precision is something that happens from a single explicit event OR something that evolves over time, based on multiple sources of imprecise information (example: wikipedia). People are pretty good at refining and adapting their cognitive model about something by observation or by interacting with the "blogger" and the community that forms around a topic. Blogs are a valuable tool that can help improve precision by the very fact that it might not be totally precise. Sounds like a line that Yogi Berra would utter.

Michael Clarke says Ricky Ponting would have been dropped if he had not retired in 2012
Former Australian skipper Michael Clarke has been in the news over the last few days for his shocking revelations regarding his career and Australian cricket. The 2015 World Cup winning captain came up with another such incident on Tuesday when he revealed that the Australian cricket board would have dropped Ricky Ponting in 2012 had he not retired.
Ponting, who made his debut in 1995, took over as the Australian ODI captain in 2002 and was a part of three successful World Cup campaigns which also included a 34 match winning streak - a record that very few people can match. Clarke, through his autobiography, revealed that former selector John Inverarity had made up his mind before the Perth Test match against the South Africans that Ponting would be dropped subsequently regardless of how much he scored.
Also read: Andrew Symonds wanted to be Australian captain, says Michael Clarke
ESPNCricinfo quoted Clarke as saying in his book, "John confides that the other selectors have made their minds up that Perth will be Ricky's last Test match, whether he scores nought or a hundred."
Ponting led the Australian team between the period of 2002 to 2011. Nicknamed as "Punter", the Tasmanian holds several records to his name. To name a few, he holds the record of being part of a team with the most ODI wins-262 , has played the most number of World Cup matches-46 and his score of 242 runs against India is the highest individual score in a Test innings in a losing cause.
A continuous run of failures against South Africa in the home series in 2012 forced him to call it a day. The Perth Test on 29th November 2012 was his final game in international cricket.
Also read: India vs New Zealand Live Score
In his autobiography 'Ponting: At the Close of Play' which released in 2013, Ponting had written about his rough relationship with Clarke and a feeling that he wasn't well supported by Clarke as his deputy. Clarke, in his autobiography, has agreed to Ponting's claims and said that he shouldn't have been made the deputy in the first place.
He wrote: "In his autobiography, Ricky wrote that he was 'disappointed with some of the things I did as vice-captain'. He didn't accuse me of being treacherous or disruptive but said I was reluctant to get involved in planning meetings or daily debriefs and take on a leadership role. When my private life was turbulent, he said, I would go into my shell. He was right. I was not a good vice-captain to him."
While Clarke has been coming out with some startling revelations in the last few weeks, it remains to be seen if the players that he has talked about have any contrasting opinions.

People often think about apocalyptic events that will one day challenge life on Earth. Many books and movies use this scenario as a platform to express ideas and beliefs.
Imagine this situation…
I no longer see honking cabs rushing through the grid of New York City. Traffic signals still repeatedly change colors for cars and people at intersections. I expect to see masses of people descend from the skyscrapers at noon for lunch. Instead, the streets are silent except for the rustle of newspapers drifting in the breeze. It happened so suddenly. Like the Bubonic Plague in Medieval times, an unstoppable disease has ravaged the human population. I think that it has been about eight days since I last saw another person. But, for my own health, I think it's best that I haven't been exposed to someone with the sickness. It has not been determined where the disease came from or how it spread. Nonetheless, it has eradicated life around the globe. I cannot help think about whether life will be able to fight and persevere.
Something tells me that this is only a phase in time. I believe that there will be a continuation of life. It has certainly been proven that animals and plants have the ability to adapt and adversify. The persona of life is not one to sit back and accept defeat. In every living being is the fight and energy to resist death.
There will continue to be specialized environments for life in every niche or crack of this planet. Without astronomical change like the sun going supernova, life will continue. After the dinosaurs died from the face of the earth, the process of evolution did not end. Prehistoric bacteria thrived and divided in lightless heated thermal vents between the deepest crevices of the ocean. I think this pandemic in many ways is the same as an ice age. It killed off almost every living creature. However, those few that did live by chance adapted and evolved into warm-blooded mammals. This adaptation provided the opportunity for a second chance and the possibility of rebuilding life on the earth.
Even today, life fights to continue its existence. A precedent for the fight for life has already been established. Mankind, every year, is responsible for the extinction of animal and plant species. Although species become extinct every year, new species are also discovered. A struggle exists in nature that attempts to balance and compensate for loss or gain of life. Natural selection limits life by enabling only the most fit individuals within a species to survive. Even when mankind purposefully wants to destroy life, life cannot be completely eliminated. Antibiotics are distributed to the sick in order to treat the presence of bacteria. However, these drugs only knock down bacteria and are unable to kill every single chain of bacteria.
Again, I believe that the evolution of any remaining life will prevail and ultimately adapt and evolve. As I wait for the inevitable, it is only a matter of time before the precedent is repeated as life overcomes adversity.

Looking into the Mirror , I meet a warrior.
Injured at times but ready to conquer.
Overruling the odds ,I am tough as a rock.
I may not sound pleasant but I am not fake,
I still don't look so strong but now my soul is too tough to Break.
Transformation is not an overnight thing, its a process,
I am gentle and slow but making progress.
Yes, I am not perfect but I am trying my best…
Looking into the mirror, I meet a warrior..

Motivational Interviewing: A Theoretical Framework for the Study of Human Behavior and the Social Environment
Keywords: Motivation, motivational interviewing, stages of change, human behavior and the social environment, cognitive approach, harm reduction
AbstractThis article provides a critical analysis of motivational interviewing stages of change model. Although rarely included in textbooks on human behavior and the social environment, this model has much to teach us about that aspect of human behavior most germane to social work practice—personal motivation for change of behaviors that are dysfunctional. The basic concepts that underlie motivational interviewing are derived from empirically-based principles from the science of social psychology. This article provides a historical and comparative approach to theory development, argues for the utility of this perspective as a guide to practice, and provides suggestions for further theory development.

"Few men have impressed their peers so much, or the general public so little, as Walter Savage Landor", wrote Sidney Colvin in his biography of Landor (1881). A.C. Swinburne was one among many of Landor's ardent contemporary admirers, writing in the Encyclopedia Britannica (1882), "In the course of this long life he had won for himself such a double crown of glory in verse and prose as has been won by no other Englishman but Milton." Browning was another friend and champion. In his long and energetic career, Walter Savage Landor (1775-1864) was active as a writer of prose and poetry in both the Romantic and Victorian periods, and had some claim to literary and intellectual prominence. He published his first collection …

The antidote to an increasingly complex supply chain
Companies like BASF that collaborate with hundreds of service providers around the world have found their own way to buck the trend of growing complexity and simplify the management of vast networks of system partners both big and small. The solution lies in collaboration and standardization: To integrate its 300 carriers in Europe, BASF utilizes a centralized IT platform that connects the chemical giant to the diverse world of carriers and is now regarded in logistics circles as the standard for managing procurement and distribution processes: the logistics platform AX4.
"The platform gives us the opportunity to integrate additional logistics partners into our network at any time with the click of a mouse. This brings transparency to the management of our complex network of partners."
Thomas Förster, Vice President Regional Supply Chain Services Europe, BASF
The Result
- Smooth cooperation between the parties involved in the transport chain in a network of 300 forwarders and 31 production locations in 10 countries.
- 910,000 goods shipments per year are automatically controlled through standardized processes along the delivery chain from the factory to the consignee.
- The solution was able to be applied to other BASF sites as well, so that everyone is now following the same uniform process.
- Standardized logistics solutions are also helping BASF better control costs.

GIFT-GIVING this holiday season can be not only jolly, but financially rewarding.
Or at least, giving money, investments, or even your home to charities or your children can be made less costly through provisions in the United States tax code.
''There are now all sorts of ways to set up trusts, or provide contributions, and make it advantageous for yourself too,'' says James Fraser, president of Fraser Management Associates, a financial consulting firm in Burlington, Vt.
As is well known, tax filers can always obtain a federal tax deduction by making charitable contributions to groups such as the Salvation Army, a church, or CARE. The only requirement is that you must have a receipt for donations valued at more than $250. But many people do not realize, Mr. Fraser says, that you can also make a gift of up to $10,000 to any person - a family member or just a friend. Doing so lowers the cumulative value of your estate, reducing what can be hefty estate-tax rates down the road.
''You will not be able to take a deduction on your tax form,'' Fraser says. ''But you will not have to pay a gift tax on the contribution. If you are married, you and your spouse can jointly give up to $20,000.''
To qualify for this year's taxes, you will have to ensure that the check clears the bank by Dec. 31.
Gift of stock
If you give a gift of stock, the person will have to pay a capital-gains tax when the stock is sold. The cost-basis will be the value of the stock when purchased by the donor. The donor should file a gift-tax return with his or her federal taxes.
What if you want to give a particularly large monetary gift to a charity or public service group, including a university? Most charities have a number of options. The Salvation Army, for example, offers charitable-gift annuities, pooled-income funds, charitable remainder trusts, and what are called unitrusts - all forms of irrevocable trusts.
One popular approach is to invest in a charitable pooled-income fund. The income funds, typically managed by the charity, are invested primarily in bonds.
You will receive income for the remainder of your life (and possibly even the life of your heirs, if you choose), based on your contribution and the yield of the fund. In recent years, yields have ranged from 5 to 9 percent annually for most charities. But the annual gain will fluctuate, depending on market interest rates. After your death, the principal in the fund reverts to the charity. To invest in the charitable pool, you must make an irrevocable donation of cash, securities, or property, valued at the minimum level of contribution set by the charity.
For most donors, there are three advantages for such gifts:
* You get an immediate tax write off. The charity will help you determine the specific amount.
* You reduce your estate tax, since after the donation the value of your estate is reduced by the amount of the gift.
* You avoid capital-gains taxes on donated securities or other property held longer than a year.
Most major charities in the US offer pooled funds. Groups include the American Red Cross, CARE, the Salvation Army, the YWCA, National Wildlife Federation, and even the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The minimum donation is usually around $5,000. The Salvation Army will help a contributor ''determine their specific tax benefit,'' says Colin Foster, an official of the Salvation Army in the New York area.
The main drawback to a charitable pooled trust is that you might want your money back if you become uncomfortable with the operations of the charity. Once given, an irrevocable contribution cannot be taken back. If that makes you uneasy, ''set up some type of revocable trust,'' Fraser says.
One alternative: Give through a charitable-trust mutual fund. Several fund families now offer gift trusts that provide income during your lifetime. Fidelity Investments Charitable Pooled Income Fund, a no-load fund, allows you to donate to 10 charities. Your list can be revised at any time. The initial donation must be at least $25,000. Subsequent donations can be $5,000 or more.
Gift of your house
Finally, if you are a homeowner, you may benefit by making a gift of your house. To do this, experts say, you should definitely consult an attorney and make certain that the charity is legitimate and that you have followed proper legal procedures. Do not rely on magazine or newspaper articles, including this one. Typically, your lawyer will draft a document stating that you and your spouse, if alive, will continue to live in your home. But upon your deaths, the home will pass to the designated charity. You will be able to take a hefty tax deduction for your gift now.
You can also reduce estate and future capital-gains taxes by giving the house to your children - presumably adult children - even while you continue to live in the house during the remainder of your lifetime. There are several variations, but the most popular one is called a ''life estate.''
Establishing a life estate is relatively simple and inexpensive, usually costing under $300. Again, be sure to consult a real-estate attorney.
Your lawyer or estate planner will draft a ''life estate trust document.'' In such an arrangement, the house, upon the death of the donor, passes along to the donor's designated heir. The cost basis of the home for tax purposes will be the value at the time of the owner's death, not the value at the time the owner originally bought it. That would mean a lower capital-gains tax, if required.
