COUNCIL tax bills for the average home have topped £1,000 in Wales, official figures revealed yesterday.
The average Band D charge is now £1,044, made up of £860 for county councils, £160 for police authorities and £24 for community councils, the Assembly Government said.
County council increases in Band D 2008-09 average £32 or 3.8%, while police authority rises average £7 or 4.8%.
Rhondda Cynon Taff had the largest band D cash increase, including community council and police, of £54 and Anglesey had the smallest increase of £21.
But the average tax in Wales is around three-quarters of the latest estimated figure of £1,374 for England.
Only Anglesey (£980) and Conwy (£960) remained below the £1,000 threshold for Band D charges in North Wales, the highest being in Denbighshire at £1,123.
North Wales Police has the highest precept for policing in Wales at £186.
Conservative shadow local government minister Nick Ramsay said that council tax had risen by 110% since Labour came to power.
"The average household in Wales is now paying £548 more in council tax than when Labour came to power.
"Every year councils face the prospect of cutting local services or raising council tax simply to balance the books. This cannot continue."
Jenny Randerson, Lib Dem finance spokesman, said: "It's time to scrap the council tax.
"The current system assumes that the value of a property has a direct link with income. This should be scrapped in favour of a system of local income tax."

years and were enslaved and
where Moses was born and raised.
After crossing the Suez Canal,

wandered on their way to the
Promised Land. The tour ends in

pyramids of the Middle Kingdom
of ancient Egypt dating back to
2100-1400 BC which falls within
the time period that Abraham
visited Egypt. Drive back to

for those who wish to climb
Mount Sinai.

Petra, Jordan, an ancient city
carved into the sides of a deep

route. It was forgotten for
hundreds of years until it was
rediscovered in 1812. Overnight

Medieval Heritage and Modern Racism
Event Description
Popular culture made medieval studies a hot topic, but since the September 11th attacks medieval history has attracted new acolytes among the far right and dangerously, among white supremacists. How and why have the Middle Ages become politicized and even weaponized in this country, and where we go from here?
Presented by Kathryn Jasper, Associate Professor, Director of European Studies, Department of History, Illinois State University

CORVALLIS - A $4 million gift from Oregon State University alumnus Ken Austin and his wife, Joan, (pronounced JO-ANNE) will make OSU one of the first universities in the U.S. to establish a residential learning program focused on starting up, incubating and spinning off successful new companies founded by students.
The gift from the Austins, an entrepreneurial couple who co-own one of Oregon's most successful companies, Newberg-based dental equipment manufacturer A-dec, Inc., will also enable the state to release $14 million in state bond funding to renovate aging Weatherford Hall, a majestic campus dormitory with a colorful history that has stood empty awaiting repairs for almost a decade.
The new program in entrepreneurship, to be housed in the renovated residence hall, will bring students, professors and visiting business leaders together in a live-in setting designed to catalyze new business ventures started by students who have a penchant for entrepreneurial endeavors.
The residential element will offer students the chance to pursue their business ventures "24/7" - an experience most entrepreneurs say is a key to early success.
Officials say the learning environment will be far richer than standard classroom settings because visiting professors, executives, and the program's director will reside in apartments within the building, which will enhance synergy and communication.
Intended to stimulate economic growth and create new jobs in Oregon and the Pacific Northwest, the program will be administered by the OSU College of Business and will draw top students from other OSU colleges, including Engineering, Forestry, Pharmacy and others, said Sabah Randhawa, interim dean of the OSU College of Business.
"This new program very intentionally creates a unique learning environment at OSU where cross-disciplinary new venture teams can live, learn, work and create together," Randhawa said. "Although it will focus initially on business and engineering students, we ultimately want students from many disciplines to participate in order to provide a creative, diverse atmosphere where entrepreneurial ideas will become tomorrow's new companies - with guidance from seasoned entrepreneurs and visiting professors."
Ron Adams, dean of the OSU College of Engineering and a strong advocate of academia working closely with businesses to develop mutually beneficial relationships, says the new program is all about economic impact.
"This is an ideal marriage of business with engineering and other disciplines because it will create new jobs here in Oregon and beyond," Adams said. "Michael Dell founded Dell Computer Corporation in a college dorm room. The next Dell could be launched here at Oregon State, in this new facility."
Although renovation of Weatherford Hall will not be complete until the fall of 2004, the first class of entrepreneurial students will enroll and begin coursework in fall 2003, Randhawa said.
In addition to single-, double- and triple-occupancy residence hall rooms that will accommodate 285 students, the renovated Weatherford Hall will feature a cyber-café, business incubator spaces, a library, seminar rooms, and five apartments to house visiting faculty and business leaders who will come to campus to offer seminars, guest lectures, and ongoing courses about how to turn new ideas into successful business ventures. The new program is has already drawing interest from business leaders. Bernie Newcomb, E*Trade co-founder and OSU College of Business alumnus, has agreed to fund the program's cyber café. Silicon Valley venture capitalist Walter Kortschak and Portland business leaders Craig Berkman, Jim B. Johnson, James Winters, Allen Alley and others have expressed support for the new program and interest in helping teach student entrepreneurs.
"I look forward to personally participating as a visiting entrepreneur when it opens and to seeing the innovative new companies that emerge," said Alley, CEO of Pixelworks, Inc. "This program definitely puts OSU at the cutting edge nationally in the development of the next generation of business leaders."
The Austins, whose company employs nearly 1,000 people, said they were inspired to give to save Weatherford Hall, a "grand old landmark at OSU that needs to be preserved," and to help give young people the opportunity to follow their dreams.
"Through our involvement, we want to encourage young potential entrepreneurs to pursue their passions as we have done," Joan Austin said. "After watching the success of the Austin Family Business Program at OSU, we feel this new enterprise can add so much to the educational experience of students."
The Austins funded the Austin Family Business Program at the College of Business in 1985. At the time, it was only the second such program in the country to focus specifically on the needs of family-owned businesses. The new entrepreneurship program in Weatherford Hall will link to the Austin Family Business Program.
"Ninety to 95 percent of all businesses in the state of Oregon are family-owned," noted Ken Austin. "By encouraging entrepreneurs and aiding them in the success of their businesses, the students, the university and the state of Oregon will all be winners."
The Austins, who have also made major contributions toward other OSU projects, including the Austin Auditorium in the LaSells Stewart Center, the CH2M HILL Alumni Center, the Valley Library renovation, and many OSU programs, will be honored at a 10:30 a.m. public ceremony at The Governor Hotel in Portland on Dec. 13, and then tour Weatherford Hall with students and faculty.

It may be fair to say that concept cars are some of the rarest out there - prototypes or show cars designed to introduce revolutionary new technology, style or looks in vehicles that may prove highly influential in the future. One such concept car that has remained in the American conscience since its introduction in 1957 is the Corvette Stingray - such that even a neon sign was produced to honor it!
We have talked about the legendary Corvette before - the prototype was created in 1952, the first series of 300 vehicles distributed the next year, and 1954 was the first year it was sold to the general public. Tweaking on the now-classic design began almost immediately, with the Stingray the result of incorporating elements of the SS and Q-Corvette efforts that never fully materialized. Yes, there was a lot of code talk in that last sentence. We're moving on, I promise. The second Stingray (considered the First Generation Stingray) was introduced in 1963 and was in production for four years. The Second Generation extended from '69 through '76. Just last year, another generation of Stingrays was introduced to the world. Keep on keeping on, Stingray!
QUESTION: Which of the following sea creatures is the sting ray closely related to?
A) Dolphin
B) Shark
C) Angel Fish
D) Swordfish
GO, CASEY, GO! Published for its first time ever, today in 1888, Casey at the Bat was first printed in the San Francisco Examiner:
The outlook wasn't brilliant for the Mudville Nine that day;
The score stood four to two, with but one inning more to play,
And then when Cooney died at first, and Barrows did the same,
A sickly silence fell upon the patrons of the game.
This classic poem was written by Ernest Thayer, although it was originally published anonymously, and has become one of the best-recognized poems written in the United States. It has been adapted into cartoons and movies, and continues to entertain to this day.
GONGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG! Turning 86 today, Chuck Barris is still going strong. This Philadelphia boy done good started at the bottom in television, as a page at NBC in New York, and proceeded to prove himself. In 1965, he started his own company and proceeded to develop highly popular game shows, notably The Dating Game, The Newlywed Game, and the one he hosted himself, The Gong Show. The Gong Show aired in syndication from 1976 into 1980 and beyond. Something of a precursor to the performance shows of today like America's Got Talent, The Gong Show allowed both the talented and the acutely un-talented to share a stage. When you were really bad, the gong rang and sent you packing. Barris' programs proved highly controversial, and both extreme conservatives and liberals complained loudly enough that most of them were taken off the air. But Barris endures. Keep on trucking!
QUOTE: Fifty percent of something is better than one hundred percent of nothing. - Chuck Barris
ANSWER: B) Shark. That's because both of them are cartilaginous fish

Well, after years of thinking and praying, our family is finally making the move out of the Bay Area. With housing prices going off the charts ridiculous, it's a necessary venture, but honestly, I wish we could just stay. There are so many people and places I love here. An amazing church family. An incredible, creative, and fun school for the kids. SUNSHINE AND PERFECT WEATHER ALL OF THE TIME.
But... sometimes God calls us out of our comfort zones, and here we go! As our move date gets closer and closer, and there are still a million details to figure out, I keep feeling the need to recenter myself in God's goodness...trusting Him to guide our path.
This hymn has been my prayer these days. That God's vision and purpose for us would always go before us. Lord, be our vision.


text: NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- U.S. stocks finished nearly flat Tuesday as investors considered comments by a former Greek prime minister one day ahead of a gathering of European leaders. "We're still fighting the downward pressure, I think a lot of that is related to Europe," said Andrew Fitzpatrick, director of investments at Hinsdale Associates. After a 71-point rise, the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -2.37% lost nearly 2 points to close at 12,502.81. The S&P 500 SPX, -2.59% was up nearly 1 point at 1,316.63. The Nasdaq Composite COMP, -3.00% declined 8.13 points to 2,839.08.

When the furniture store closed its doors in July of that year, Inline began construction to expand the branch to have a large warehouse and counter area, with a large parking area for easy access for customers. Inline Tuscaloosa is the companies 14th branch and is headed by long time electrical sales manager, Glenn Ford.
Inline Tuscaloosa caters not only to the residential and commercial construction companies that dot Tuscaloosa, but also the surrounding Industrial parks, and agricultural areas. While Inline as a whole, is well known for our abundant supply of commercial LED fixtures, Inline Tuscaloosa also stocks Eaton and Siemens energy management products, and participates in the unassembled panelboard program, which keeps stock of high amperage panelboards and switchboards. This allows for expedited delivery to customers in emergency situations, and a high availability of replacement parts.
Many companies have not yet changed over their lighting fixtures to LED alternatives, but the choice is clear. Lighting often accounts at least 25% of a facilities' total energy use. LED lighting has been shown to sometimes reduce those costs by upwards of 60%. This saves money on electrical bills, and more importantly saves on labor, as lights that formerly had to be changed annually, can last for decades!
Inline's Tuscaloosa branch is still in the works, but fully operational, and working with dozens of contractors, electricians and engineers in Tuscaloosa County, and the surrounding area. Soon this store will have one of the largest electrical supply warehouses in the state, with an ample supply of commercial lighting, industrial lighting, energy management equipment, tools, safety equipment, and electrical supplies as well as residential necessities for day-to-day electrical work.

In the News – Japanese Water Parks Ban Tattooed Visitors
Although many Japanese people get tattoos simply for decoration, just as in every other country in the world, Japan still takes a very antiquated view of tattoos and still associate them with the Yakuza (Japanese mafia). Gyms require tattoos to be taped or wrapped and public bath houses ban those with the colorful body decoration. And now even amusement parks are blocking anyone trying to enter with exposed tattoos.
I really think it's high time for Japan to join the 21st century and realize that not everyone wearing a picture on their body is a criminal. The rest of us can appreciate that we still have a lot more freedom to express ourselves with our art, even if we still have to cover up for work.

Epilepsy Channel
Related Channels
Banzel Uses
Banzel is approved for use in combination with certain other medications to treat seizures caused by Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. Although it is not entirely clear how Banzel works, it is thought to work by affecting sodium channels in the brain, preventing the abnormal activity from spreading to other parts. Treating any other type of seizure is considered an off-label Banzel use.
What Is Banzel Used For?Banzel™ (rufinamide) is a prescription seizure medication. Specifically, it is approved to treat seizures due to Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS).
Lennox-Gastaut syndrome is a severe form of epilepsy. Epilepsy is a brain condition that occurs when there are sudden, brief changes in how the brain's electrical system works. This change in brain activity can lead to a seizure (see Epilepsy Symptoms). Depending on which part of the brain that is affected, a seizure may affect the person's consciousness, body movements, emotions, or senses (taste, touch, smell, vision, or hearing).
Lennox-Gastaut syndrome usually begins early in children, typically before four years of age. This type of epilepsy is often accompanied by developmental delays and other problems. The seizures associated with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome can be particularly difficult to treat, and many people need to be on several medications.
Banzel is approved for use along with other seizure medications to treat Lennox-Gastaut syndrome seizures, and is approved for use in adults and children as young as four years old. As is typical with new seizure medications, Banzel is not approved to be used alone, as it has not been adequately studied for such use. In studies, people were given either Banzel or a placebo (a "sugar pill" that does not contain any active ingredients) to take in addition to their usual seizure medications, because it would be unethical to give a person with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome just a placebo without the other medications.

What makes a powerful question powerful?/
Last week I hosted with friends a two-day public program called The Art of Organisational Innovation, Change & Learning. By all accounts it was a wonderful success with all who attended saying that it was a wonderful affirming experience of the importance of also undertaking the 'innovation within' so as to best hold the space for innovation, change and learning within a community group, organisation, or society as a whole.
It continues to amaze me the wonder and energy that emerges when groups of people come together in authentic and personally meaningful ways in order to explore and address real life issues and opportunities.
There was however, a moment in the program that was 'slightly off' where I felt that the collective energy of the group did not reach its potential. It was on the morning of the first and was, I think, the result of a question that was asked as part of a World Cafe process. Given, the group had had only come together for the first time about 90 minutes earlier and the question posed was the first of three in the World Cafe. But, the three hosts of the cafe all felt that it that the question did not fully hit the mark for the group. The question posed was, "What is it about innovation and change that makes it such a compelling topic now?"
At first glance, the question relates directly to the program's core focus (organisational innovation, change & learning). So what happened for the group in trying to enter into the exploration of this question at the time it was posed? The shift in energy came again with the remaining two questions of the World Cafe, which worked a treat! The remaining two questions posed where "What lies beneath our current focus on innovation and change, what is really calling for our attention now?" and then "Who do I need to be and what wise action do I need to take to navigate the challenges facing me now?"
As I consider each of the three questions posed in our World cafe, I am left with the question: "What makes a powerful question powerful?"
In considering this question, there are two sources I draw upon. The first is by Eric E. Vogt, Juanita Brown, and David Isaacs (Juanita and David are the founders of The World Cafe process) called The Art of Powerful Questions: Catalysing Insight, Innovation, and Action. The short book provides a wonderful account of the three key components of the architecture of a powerful question, namely:
- The construction of the question – for example, 'why' questions are have a more powerful construction than questions that simply elicit a yes/no response;
- The scope of the question - how expansive the question's focus is (e.g., team, organisation, industry, etc) with a more powerful question testing the boundaries of a group's scope whilst also being contained enough to allow the respondent(s) to take effective action in the immediate term; and
- The assumption within the questions – does the question make assumptions about the respondent's beliefs about the topic, or does it intentionally challenge those assumptions?
As I think about these three elements in relation to the first question posed in our World Cafe, I now realise in hindsight that we may have misread component three (the assumptions inherent in the question) as it relates to our question. As I reflect upon the larger two-day program, I came to realise that the group's true need in being together was not innovation 'out there' but rather the exploration of innovation, change & learning within each person. This was also evidenced by the group's engagement with the final two questions of the World Cafe, which focused more on the 'inner world' of innovation and change.
And this leads me to my second source for how to construct a powerful question, a wonderful book by Peter Block called Community: The Structure Of Belonging. This book is amazing. In its pages, Peter outlines his three components of a powerful question:
- Ambiguity – a powerful question is ambiguous and at its core is unanswerable;
- Personal – a powerful question invites the respondent to look within himself or herself in order to consider the question and how they might best repond to it; and
- Anxiety Raising – a powerful question creates an inner tension or incongruence within the respondent whereby the person needs to own something about himself or herself and/or the situation in order respond (in other words, the question is a call to the respondent to be authentic).
These three components outlined by Peter also help me to understand what is was about our first World Cafe question that was "slightly off". Upon reflection, the question posed did not encompass these three components adequately enough. By comparison, the final two questions of the World Cafe did.
And this gets me to my own reflections of what I am learning makes a powerful question powerful. As I ask myself the question, "What have been the most impacting, challenging and nourishing questions I have been asked?" I notice some common themes. I offer these themes to you now.
For me, a powerful question …
- 'Travels' beyond the time of asking.
- Is able to be 'read' at multiple levels and in multiple ways.
- Travels beyond the situation.
- Entices the respondent 'onto the balcony' in considering a situation, relationship or himself/herself.
- Is simple (i.e., the less words in the question the better).
- Seeks the truth.
- Invites the respondent to explore 'just beyond …'
- Is affirmative.
- Generates more questions than it answers.
- Is simultaneously reflective and a call to action.
- Is inclusive of all that are being asked to respond to it.
Finally, I am learning that what makes a powerful question powerful is where it is positioned in sequence to the other questions that precede or proceed it. For example, if we had asked the third question ("Who do I need to be and what wise action do I need to take to navigate the challenges facing me now?") first in our World Cafe I am not sure it would have been as powerful as it was for the group. In this way, the timing of the question must be appropriate – the individual and/or group must be ready to respond to it in order for hearts, minds and spirits to open up and come together as one in its exploration.
Thank you to the group last week for helping me to learn more of the power of asking powerful question and the magic of being a part of a conversation that really matters.

Asked to reflect on her most memorable moments at Amherst, writer Lauren Groff '01 immediately recalled one cold spring morning at crew practice when coach Bill Stekl gave her the motivation she needed to start rowing for the day.
"There was this beautiful backlit fog rising off the river, and the banks were just pearly and beautiful, and it felt almost impossible to get our bodies moving in the cold," Groff said. "And Bill from his boat into his microphone shouts, 'You can do anything — just do it slowly enough!' And it's almost been my motto in life. You can do anything. You just do it slowly enough."
In some ways, this seems an apt description of Groff's writing career. Both her critically acclaimed novels, "Arcadia" and "Monsters of Templeton," are the products of years of intensive research, discarded drafts and careful revision, as well as a lifetime of fierce devotion to reading and writing. After college, she worked at a series of what she calls "terrible jobs" — including bartending and telemarketing — before finally being able to devote her life to writing full-time.
In other ways, though, Groff's success has been anything but slow. After less than a semester of graduate school at the University of Wisconsin-Madison's MFA program, she sold a story to the prestigious Atlantic Monthly, and six months after the story was published, she sold her first novel, "Monsters of Templeton" (2008) — all before her 30th birthday. She quickly followed "Monsters," a New York Times bestseller, with the story collection "Delicate Edible Birds" (2009). Last year's "Arcadia," another New York Times bestseller, was declared a best book of 2012 by the New York Times, the Washington Post and NPR, among many other publications.
A Shy Childhood
Despite all this critical acclaim, Groff remains modest.
"I don't feel like they're successful at all," Groff said of her books. "They always fall short of the mark that I want them to hit."
She rarely reads reviews of her own work, and she says that her main focus is always on making the next book better.
Groff's modesty and wariness about publicity reflect characteristics that have been with her since childhood. Her mother, Jeannine Groff, described her as "modest and a little bit shy," while Groff herself admitted to being "pathologically shy as a kid."
"She was so quiet and introspective as a baby that we had her checked out by a pediatrician," said Groff's father, Gerald. Instead of opening outward, the young Groff cultivated a lively internal world, fueled by her passion for reading whatever she could get her hands on.
"Books were far more vivid to me than people," Groff said. Growing up in Cooperstown, N.Y., she would make daily trips to the library, reading everything from "The Hobbit" to Jane Austen.
"I really read everything, and I didn't understand most of it," Groff admitted. "You read Jane Austen when you're eight, and you're not going to get the sort of social niceties, but you're bathed in the precise language and the sensibility, and that's what matters. I guess it's the tone that matters at that point."
The Path to Publication
Although on one level she'd always known she wanted to be a writer, "It's one of those things that takes a lot of courage to say to your family, especially, but also to yourself," Groff said.
After a gap year abroad in Nantes, France, she enrolled at Amherst, where she was excited to discover a deeper style of close reading than she'd been exposed to before. Although at one point she considered a career as a pediatrician, Groff realized that the humanities were her true love, and she went on to become a double major in English and French. She cited French Professor Leah Hewitt's autobiography class as one of her most influential during her time at the College.
"She just seemed delighted to be learning, thinking and imagining," Professor Hewitt said of Groff. "She brought out from behind a modest demeanor a final project that was wildly playful, critically sophisticated and showed a rich literary and artistic imagination that foreshadowed her successful career as a writer."
"I just loved college," Groff said. "It was just a feeling of being coddled and beloved in a community where people had the same sorts of ideas and goals. I think that I'm always trying to go back to that place." Groff described community as one of her "obsessions" as a writer, and said she found a similarly nurturing community in graduate school.
It took three years of unsatisfying jobs to get there, however. In addition to her stints as a telemarketer and bartender ("I was, like, the world's worst bartender. I was really horrible," Groff said), she also spent time working at the Sierra Club and in an administrative position at Stanford. This time in California would eventually provide inspiration for Groff's first published novel, "Monsters of Templeton."
The novel takes place in what Groff describes in the author's note as a "slantwise version" of her hometown of Cooperstown. She explains that the project grew out of her "wanting to wake up every day in Cooperstown," a homesickness that developed after many long, lonely days spent working at Stanford. She continued working on "Monsters" after she enrolled at the MFA program at University of Wisconsin-Madison, sometimes becoming so intensely involved in her work that she would spend eighteen hours a day writing. It was not long after this that her writing career took off, and her Atlantic Monthly story garnered the attention of Bill Clegg, the man who would eventually become her agent.
"When her agent first saw a story she wrote for The Atlantic Monthly and asked to represent her, she demurred," remembered Groff's husband, Clay Kallman '00, whom she met while rowing at Amherst. "He then jumped on a plane and flew out to meet her in person and she still grilled him for hours to be sure he would help sell [the] novel."
Clegg eventually did help Groff to sell "Monsters," which was received with critical praise and appeared on multiple bestseller lists.
A "Third Child"
Even now, having achieved much greater success, Groff retains the same sense of protectiveness over her work. She says that whatever novel she is working on at the moment feels like a "third child" — her two others are sons, ages two and five.
"When I married my husband, I said — I don't actually necessarily believe in marriage, but I said okay, given these conditions," Groff said. "One condition is that when we have kids, you're going to be the primary caregiver to the kids … and the other thing is, I will not have any shame or guilt about my child-raising, because I feel like shame and guilt are the ways that a woman artist keeps herself from actually doing what she needs to do."
Groff and her husband have established a routine wherein Kallman wakes up their sons, feeds them breakfast and takes them to school, while Groff works on her writing. Groff then spends the evening with their sons, and after they go to bed, she takes time to think about what she's written during the day and what she plans to write tomorrow.
"I feel like you have to protect this space around your work so fiercely and sort of resist the societal urge to make mothers feel bad for their decisions," Groff explained.
Groff, Kallman and their sons now live in Gainesville, Fla., near Kallman's family, who help to take care of the children.
It was in Gainesville that Groff's second novel, "Arcadia," was born. The novel begins in the late 1960s and centers on Bit Stone, the first child born in Arcadia, a fictional utopian commune in upstate New York. Groff first got the idea from the novel when she started researching happiness shortly after moving to Gainesville.
"I was deeply, deeply depressed in pregnancy," Groff said. "I guess I just don't do well with the hormones. The world just felt like it was falling apart. And it may still be, but I guess I'm not paying as much attention."
Part of Groff's unhappiness stemmed from her isolation in Gainesville, where she knew no one other than Kallman and his parents.
"I started to do research about happiness because I was so deeply sad, and then I started to do research about people who tried to create their own happiness," Groff said, explaining how this line of inquiry led her to become interested in utopias and intentional communities.
Publicity and Acclaim
Ultimately, "Arcadia" proved even more successful than Groff's last two books, winning widespread publicity and numerous critical accolades. For the self-described introvert, one might think all this attention would be hard to take. Indeed, the reviews still make Groff uncomfortable.
"You put your baby in the middle of a coliseum, and people have either a rock or a rose in their hand, and they can throw the rock or they can throw the rose. And you're like, 'It's my baby, don't throw anything!'" Groff said, describing the review process, which she calls "painful."
Still, despite her introversion, Groff has another side to her personality, one that her father recalled emerged when she was a teenager.
"In adolescence she developed seemingly opposite, contrary forces," Gerald Groff said. "She grew tall and strong, opinionated, passionate and selectively assertive. The Homecoming Queen, Outward Bound adventurer and exchange student to France appeared to be another person."
"In many respects, she is our yin-yang child," he reflected, discussing a double-sidedness that seems to exist in Groff to this day. Although she knows some writers who have "breakdowns" after a tour, Groff genuinely enjoys herself while she's promoting a book.
"When she is out on tour, a different part of her emerges," her mother observed. "This public part of her is exciting, funny, smart and charming."
Groff agreed that she seems to transform during book tours.
"You put on a nice dress and some makeup and then suddenly you're a different person," Groff said. "And you have a glass of wine and go on and you're fine! You get to the point where it's just a performance, as opposed to who you are as a person, so it becomes really fun."
In the end, though, despite Groff's charismatic stage presence, her mother observes that she seems most in her element when she's alone at home, writing. Behind the crowd-pleasing adult author, it's still easy to see the shadow of the shy little girl who preferred books to people.
"I can't write when I'm out on tour," Groff mused. "That's the most essential part of me, so it's difficult."

In occupied Kashmir , senior APHC leader and the Chairman of Tehreek-e-Hurriyat Jammu and Kashmir, Muhammad Ashraf Sehrai, describing Kashmir as a flash point between Pakistan and India, has appealed to the international community to playing role in settlement of Kashmir issue in accordance with the UN resolutions.
Muhammad Ashraf Sehrai in a statement issued in Srinagar today said there is a need for the international meditation to press India to stop the ongoing human rights violations. He said the Norwegian Prime Minister, Erna Solberg's mediation offer on the Kashmir dispute clearly indicates that world doesn't subscribe to India's claim over Kashmir and New Delhi has the worry that the mediator might propose a solution to the Kashmir issue.
Meanwhile, the Joint Resistance Leadership in a statement in Srinagar strongly condemned the killing of a Sikh youth by unidentified gunmen in Tral area of Pulwama district last week, saying that the loss of human lives is deplorable. The statement said that the Sikh community always stood with the Muslims in the ongoing resistance movement even when attempts were made by the Indian agencies to give it a sectarian angle. All 35 Sikh sarpanchs and panchs of Pulwama district have tendered their resignations following the killing.

We're always looking for counter-narratives to the downer news we're obligated to report as the world's economy slides into a seemingly bottomless abyss. Over the weekend, we found a great one: Washington, DC is booming!
The front page of Saturday's Washington Post carried the cheery headline "Wall Street Decamps to K Street for Work on Bailout." The story below tells how the Federal government's bailout plan is leading to a booming business for those exposed to the upside of lobbying for government largesse.
Some highlights:
- Everyone is getting rich…in Washington. "Firms see this as a potential gold mine," said Anirban Basu, an economist and chief executive of Sage Policy Group in Baltimore. For Washington, "that has to translate into business sales, high-powered restaurant meals, business suit purchases, and travel and luxury hotel stays. We often talk about D.C. being different economically than the rest of the country and this is perfectly true. I don't see much evidence of a slowdown here."
- Lawyers and real estate brokers cashing in. "Commercial real estate brokerage companies have pulled lawyers and salesmen who usually put together deals on downtown offices to work out loans and foreclose on properties. Some have dubbed themselves the "TARP team" after the Treasury's Troubled Asset Relief Program created to sort through assets."
- This is huge…for hotels. "Marriott International's ExecuStay program, which rents apartments to business travellers for weeks or months at a time, is one beneficiary. PricewaterhouseCoopers and Ernst & Young — two big financial advisory companies that have been chosen by Treasury to do bailout work — have booked dozens of units at Marriott's 52 properties in the region, paying about $4,500 a month per apartment.
"Young Hill, general manager of the D.C. region for Marriott ExecuStay, said she's had auditors coming in "to look at Fannie Mae staying with us, but that was nowhere near as big as this financial bailout mess. This is huge." PriceWaterhouse told Marriott it would likely need to bring 300-plus people into the area and "they know they're going to be here for a while," Hill said. Some guests may stay for a few days, other for months."

"I think 'Maang tikka' gave a different look to my personality and it also broke the monotony. I love 'maang tikkas', it just adds so much to your face," Patani told the reporters, post her confident ramp walk on day two of the ongoing fashion week, here.
Gangwani, who has styled the likes of Kangana Ranaut and much more, celebrated India with her line titled "India @ 70". It was an amalgamation of the rich heritage of India along with modern edgy elements that are incorporated in each garment.
"The inspiration for this collection from the atelier of Manav Gangwani (the brand) has been taken from various regions in India. I have incorporated elements of design from different regions like Kashmir reflecting jamwars, bandhanis of Rajasthan and brocades of Varanasi," he told IANS initially.
The show was different from the usual ones.
Being an off-site show, the sitting arrangements were made in a way that most of the attendees enjoyed the beautiful presentation from the front row. This was also the reason why the ramp was little long compared to the regular shows.
Disha too enjoyed walking the runway in the designer's line.
"This particular piece has an amalgamation Indian and western style. It's very chic, classy and refreshing," said Disha.

I would certainly recommend this book to anyone who love reading mystery stories.

Project Management Consulting
The symptoms that bring clients to WGA:
Lack of Project Management skills and tools leads to unintended business results including:
- Cost overruns
- Project delays
- Poor quality
- Customer dissatisfaction
- Lack of a consistent project management approach
- Lack of communication
- Lack of real-time data that allow Managers to make informed decisions
- Conflict
- Inability to properly prioritize products, projects, and resources
Our Approach:
Step 1- PM Capability Assessment
Our recommended first step in helping clients is to perform an assessment of current Project Management Capability. This consists of 2-3 days of interviewing and analysis that renders a baseline score for each of the three elements that comprise PM capability: People, Process, and Software tools.
Step 2- Gap Analysis
The client is presented with the Project Management Capability score and then establishes a desired level of Project Management Capability for the organization. The comparison of the current to the desired Project Management Capability scores establishes the Gaps to which WGA training and consulting solutions are applied.
Step 3- Solution Design
The Solution Design process includes detailed planning with the client to identify the WGA services and work required to close the gaps. This exercise is important because it provides the client insight into PM Best Practices for Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) and schedule development, budgeting and risk management, as well as communication of performance to plan.
The Solutions Design is composed by one or more of the WGA service offerings:
PM Training
- 35 hour PMP course (on-site or scheduled public class)
- On-site training customized to client specifications
- Microsoft Office Project® 2013 training (on-site or scheduled public class)
PM Consulting Solutions
- PM Capability Assessment
- Project Management Office Implementation
- PM Coaching
- Project Audits
- Critical Project Rescue (CPR+)
Microsoft Enterprise Project Management (EPM) Solution Implementation
- Solution and implementation customized to client specification and requirements
Step 4- Solution Delivery
This is the execution of the plan created during Solutions Design and includes weekly communication between WGA consultants and the client to assess performance to plan and verify client satisfaction. This approach takes the surprise out of project performance and we believe this is another way we role model PM Best Practices for our clients. Adjustments are made to the plan only with input from the client.
Step 5- Ongoing Support
As new knowledge, skills, and software tools are deployed, WGA provides ongoing support to enhance the full integration of PM Best Practices into the standard operating behavior of the organization.

Open Space
'70s and '80s Open Space was about gray, uniformity and architectural normcore, which can not be seen in modern offices. Cult, avant-garde and innovative in the past, nowadays seems to be an old-fashioned holdover of those breakthrough years.
In today's world of the working space full of colored glass focus rooms, it appears as if it was an outdated relic.
However, it was a critical shift to the functionality and creativity of office space. Style, which undoubtedly revolutionized the current job place. We decided to return to the grey Open Space area, present in such iconic realizations as Mad Men, and together with a photographer put the model in styling balancing between those times and present.

I've been asked this question on many occasions, and this is my standard definition: chicken pickin' is a right-hand picking technique - used most often by country guitarists, but also occasionally by rock and blues players- which involves alternating between your pick and fingers to create a sound that resembles the noise of a common barnyard chicken.Read More

This isn't exactly the view Wordsworth was writing about. Westminster Bridge looks on the buildings the other way round. But there is a grandeur here that is fun to draw. The trick is eliminating the extraneous elements and drawing quickly. Sometimes I work directly from the perspective lines, as here. More often I do not, and it is the imperfections that set it apart from photographic reality.

I have been trying to purchase a scavenger Oil Pump Housing for 6 months from the manufacturer and it looks like for whatever reason it will never materialize. I contacted Mike Phillips at AMP and he was prompt to get back to me and was very helpful as he sent me the full instructions, but he only offers it as a full kit (which is understandable), ... all I need is the cover. Any chance one of you may have a housing you aren't going to be using and would like to sell? I am including a photo of the housing that I'm interested in. I am aware that TA Performance sells a different version of the housing . I may use that one on a future build, but for now I'm looking for the style pictured. Larry
