McDaniel places 100 student-athletes on Dean's List, 10 on Green and Gold Honor Roll
WESTMINSTER, Md. – McDaniel College has announced its Dean's List from the Spring 2012 semester and 100 Green Terror student-athletes qualified for the honors.
To qualify for the Dean's List, a student must achieve a grade-point average (GPA) of 3.50 for the semester. A GPA of 3.5-3.699 earns a student Honors according to the College. A GPA of 3.7-3.899 earns a student High Honors while a GPA of 3.9 or above qualifies for Highest Honors.
McDaniel also honors student-athletes through the establishment of the Green and Gold Honor Roll, which was introduced in last year through a joint initiative of the athletics department, including the Student-Athlete Advisory Council (SAAC), and President's Office.
To be named to the Honor Roll, a student-athlete must be named to the Dean's List in the same semester in which he or she has also been named to an athletic honor of All-Centennial Conference (CC) or higher.

Find out what you should do if there is discharge or pus coming from your body piercing, plus what other signs of infection you should look out for.
You should see your GP if you have discharge from your body piercing, as it may be infected. The discharge from an infected piercing may be thick, foul-smelling and yellow or green in colour.
After you have a body piercing, you may have some odourless, whitish-yellow fluid that crusts around the jewellery. This is normal and not usually a sign of infection.
Any crust that forms can help protect against infection. Do not move, twist or turn the piercing as this may cause any hardened discharge to tear the piercing, allowing bacteria into the wound.
As well as discharge, other signs your body piercing could be infected include:
You should see your GP if you have any signs of infection.
Don't remove the jewellery in your piercing unless your doctor advises you to. Leaving it in place will help ensure proper drainage and may prevent an abscess (collection of pus) forming.
In many cases, the infection can be treated without losing the piercing. Minor infections may be treated with antibiotic cream, and a more serious infection may need antibiotic tablets. Your doctor will be able to give you advice about which treatment is best for you.

Lunch Today: Shredded Pork and Preserved Cabbage Rice Cakes at Shanghai Asian Cuisine
Lunchtime adventures from the Serious Eats editors.
Rarely can you call food that costs five bucks delicate, but that's the word to use regarding Shanghai Asian Cuisine's rice cakes. After a number of punch-in-the-mouth flavor-bomb meals at Mission Chinese Food, I've found myself looking for a Chinese lunch that's a little more subtle, and the stir fried pork and preserved cabbage rice cakes ($5.25) certainly qualify.
Don't expect smoky wok hei flavors here; instead look for light, tender, slightly sweet rice cakes fragrant with mild pickled cabbage and punctuated by quiet bites of pork and mushroom. The sauce is little more than the hot pickled cabbage juice and oil, just enough to tie everything together but unlikely to overwhelm any of the components.
None of this is to say the dish is boring, but sometimes you just want a hot plate of soft starch with some stuff in it, perhaps with a pot of tea to wash it all down. This is quite worthy of that lunch need. The rice cakes may not be the best in Chinatown, but they're sweeter and more tender than most. The "stuff" gives the textural contrast and slight flavor boost you want, but let the starch take the lead. Kudos to any restaurant that can make a plate of pasta, pork, and oil taste restorative.

A designated area and model were fashioned with donated funds raised.......the years passed and the effort continued, articles were written in the paper. Then it was announced that a benefactor had been found and the statue was nearing completion. and would be erected soon. Now years later----no statue,..the area where a sign designated the planned resting place gone,..where's the statue or the communities money for the project? Anyone know what's up?????

For the first time anywhere, the first-person account of the planning and execution of the Bin Laden raid from a Navy Seal who confronted the terrorist mastermind and witnessed his final moment
From the streets of Iraq to the rescue of Captain Richard Phillips in the Indian Ocean, and from the mountaintops of Afghanistan to the third floor of Osama Bin Laden's compound, operator Mark Owen of the U.S. Naval Special Warfare Development Group — commonly known as SEAL Team Six — has been a part of some of the most memorable special operations in history, as well as countless missions that never made headlines.
No Easy Day puts readers alongside Owen and the other handpicked members of the twenty-four-man team as they train for the biggest mission of their lives. The blow-by-blow narrative of the assault, beginning with the helicopter crash that could have ended Owen's life straight through to the radio call confirming Bin Laden's death, is an essential piece of modern history.
In No Easy Day, Owen also takes readers onto the field of battle in America's ongoing War on Terror and details the selection and training process for one of the most elite units in the military. Owen's story draws on his youth in Alaska and describes the SEALs' quest to challenge themselves at the highest levels of physical and mental endurance. With boots-on-the-ground detail, Owen describes numerous previously unreported missions that illustrate the life and work of a SEAL and the evolution of the team after the events of September 11. In telling the true story of the SEALs whose talents, skills, experiences, and exceptional sacrifices led to one of the greatest victories in the War on Terror, Mark Owen honors the men who risk everything for our country, and he leaves readers with a deep understanding of the warriors who keep America safe.

Some Things You Might Not Know About VSAM SMF Type 64 Records

This was originally going to be a different post about VSAM's SMF 64 record, based on a customer situation.

I've written extensively in the past about what you can glean about batch suites from SMF, most notably SMF Type 30. While I don't believe SMF alone can give you the full dependency network (complete with validation) I've just added some analysis to my code that gets me a little closer. As you're probably never going to run my code the bit that would be interesting is the kind of inferences it's... [More]

During her visit to an orphanage, the Countess observed an unusual scene in the hallway: four boys were tussling over a tattered book while vigorously laying about them with fists.
"I believe, children, that you are fighting?" cried the lady in dismay. "For that, none of you will receive spice cake and you'll end up on your knees."
"He took my Robinson Crusoe!" explained one of the boys.
"That's not true, it was him!" contradicted a second.
"See what a liar you are!" cried a third. "It was you that took the book from me."
The nun explained to the Countess that, despite close supervision, such incidents occurred fairly often because the children craved something to read but the orphanage had no books.
A spark took light in the Countess' heart. But since she was easily wearied by thinking, she endeavored to forget about it. It was only at the Councilor's, where it was fitting to speak of pious and charitable matters, that she described the incident at the orphanage and the nun's explanation.
As he listened, the Councilor likewise experienced an uncommon sentiment and, being more adept at the art of thinking, ventured that the orphans should be sent books. Indeed, he recalled that in a closet or a trunk he had a whole pile of moldering printed matter that he had once purchased for his children; but... he was now too heavy to rummage through rubbish.
In the evening the Councilor found himself at Mr. Z.'s, whose entire life was passed in rendering small services to the humanity contained between the seventh and third classes of the hierarchy of officialdom. Desiring to gratify him, the Counsilor told Mr. Z. what the Countess had seen at the orphanage and had heard from the nun, adding for his own part that books ought to be procured for the orphans.
"Nothing simpler!" exclaimed Mr. Z. "I'll go by the Courier's offices tomorrow and prevail on them to place a notice."
The next day Mr. Z. dashed breathlessly into the Courier's offices, begging the editors by all that was holy to call upon the public to donate books for the orphans.
He was in luck, for the paper needed several lines' worth of a sensational item. The human-interest editor sat down and wrote:
"A group of children in the public charge are suffering a lack of books.
"The little ones pine.
"Remember the hungry souls!"
Then, whistling, he went off to lunch.
A couple of days later, on a Sunday, before the closed door to the editorial offices I encountered a poorly clad man with hands as black as a chimney sweep's, and with him a slip of a girl carrying a box of old books.
"How may I be of help?"
The stained man doffed his cap and replied diffidently:
"We've brought some books for the 'hungry' ones that you wrote about..."
The slender girl curtsied with a blush, insofar as that was possible given the beginnings of greensickness.
I took the books from her and gave them to the office boy.
"What is your name?" I asked the man.
"What would you be needing that for?" he asked in confusion.
"We have to print the donor's name."
"Oh, it's not necessary, sir; I'm a poor man from a hat factory... It's not necessary..."
And he went away with his thin little daughter.
Standing next to me was a learned professor of physics, and it was doubtless because of this that I was put in mind of a new kind of telegraph.
The main station was the orphanage, a side station was the worker from the hat factory; when the one signaled "attention," the other immediately responded. When the one demanded, the other brought.
The rest of us functioned as telegraph poles.

March Birchbox - Teen Vogue edition.
In case you don't remember what I got last month, here's a reminder. Lots of awesome goodies. And this month was no different!! I decided to go with the Teen Vogue edition of the Birch Box. Loved what was inside. Here's a peek:
Let's have a closer look, shall we?
Essie | luxeeffects - A glittery top coat nail polish. Can't go wrong there. (oh and p.s. they sent a full size bottle of it, normally $8. And my entire Birch Box of samples is only $10/mo. score!)
Kate Spade | Twirl perfume - This stuff smells amazing. It's "flirty" and modern. Kinda smells fruity and floral at the same time.
Kerastase | Elixir Ultime - whattta whatta?? Ha ha. It's a nourishing oil hair regimen meant to hydrate, smooth and "sleekify" your strands.
Tarte | LipSurgance lip tint - It's a pink lip stain designed to boost moisture levels in your lips.
And a bonus: Discount code to ModCloth. cool.
Well there you have it! If you didn't get the Teen Vogue box, what was in yours this month?
And if you don't have a subscription for Birch Box yet, go sign up! It's easy and fun!

I got the same box as you :) I was so excited to see some Essie thrown in there!
- March 14, 2012 at 8:43 AM
I received the exact same box. Well, I did get a neon green twistband thingy. I don't care for it or the color. So, I'll probably never use that thing. I got the same color polish and love it. I know it's supposed to be used for a topcoat but I actually like it just as it is on my nails. Oh, and that lip tint...love it. :)

Best and the Rest: ARM Mini PCs
New shoots from an old acorn
Acorn Antiques
R-Comp bundles a large number of custom monitor profiles to get the best out of the GPU, including support for 40Hz operation at 1080p resolution. Other additions include custom icons for the SD and MS cardreader slots and support for FAT32 media.
SD and Memory Stick cards slots up front
The company has also added a selection of apps to the basic RISC OS system, so you get the Fireworx word processor-cum-spreadsheet, Netsurf web browser, TapirMail email client, plus network clients for Windows CIFS, FTP, NFS and NTP, games, utilities and more.
RISC OS is pretty basic by modern standards, but then, it's a 1980s OS that predates both Linux and Windows 3. But what it lacks in technical refinement – no swap-backed virtual memory, no multiuser support, only very basic security and memory protection – it makes up for in responsiveness. It's blisteringly quick. It boots in seconds, apps open instantaneously and windows redraw faster than the eye can see. No OS has felt this fast since BeOS.
If you're jaded by a world full of samey X86 boxes and have fond memories of the RiscPC or older Acorns, then the ARMini is a lovely little machine. It's pretty much plug in and go – at about twice the speed of the 600MHz Iyonix, let alone the 400MHz A9home, the two preceding native RISC OS computers. One snag is that as it's a pure-32-bit system, old 26-bit binaries from Acorn hardware won't run, but R-Comp hopes to make the Aemulor 26-bit compatibility layer available for the machine at some point in the future.
But it has to be said: it's expensive. Even with the RISC OS licences, it's hard to see how R-Comp can justify the price. Even with worst-case pricing, a Beagleboard-xM is about £155, the Linkworld 820-01 case £40, a Platinum thumbdrive £20 and Belkin seven-port hub £15. RISC OS is installed on 5MB of a 4GB microSD card – call it £15. That's about £250 of components; adding the internal audio and USB connections and so on – surely under £300?
RISC OS 6 is £49. Assuming Castle wants something comparable for a commercial licence, there's still an Apple-beating 33 per cent margin in there somewhere. That's a lot even for a pre-installed, ready-to-use machine – but still, it's the fastest RISC OS machine ever. It's very nearly the cheapest, too – only the 1992 Acorn A3010 cost less when new.

Here's pretty much the definition of "agony of defeat": Ethiopian steeplechase competitor Birhan Getahun, already far at the back of his qualifying heat at the end of the race, fails to navigate the final hurdle and slams down to the track. (Steeplechase hurdles, unlike those used in the hurdle events proper, don't give way.)
He attempted to finish, and we really, really wish we were bringing you video of him limping across the finish line. That would be awesome, and inspirational, and and one of those Things We Actually Like. Alas, he could not continue and was taken out of the stadium in a wheelchair.

Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis, and Cynthia Nixon are reprising their roles from the original HBO series. The show's longtime executive producer, Michael Patrick King, is set to write and direct. Additionally, Chris Noth, David Eigenberg, Evan Handler and Jason Lewis will return as the women's love interests. Academy Award-winning actress Jennifer Hudson (Dreamgirls) has also joined the cast of the film and will play Carrie Bradshaw's assistant, a new character to be introduced in the film.
There's no point in hiding it. I'm not a fan of the series and never have been. I've only seen a few episodes. So bear in mind that I may be proceeding from a position of ignorance here and correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the show supposed to be about female empowerment, and the way women could be women but still be independent and strong, career minded and live their own lives without glomming on to a man as the only possible way for them to find fulfillment? No? Because what we've seen from Sex and the City: The Movie so far seems to paint itself as a film about four women getting married as fast as they can, with as big a wedding as they can, and popping out kids at warp speed, career, independence and whatever the fuck else be damned.
Maybe the show was always like that and I'd simply missed it. Maybe the show was always about how helpless and worthless women are without men and babies to validate them. Or maybe the trailer's just marketing it that way because Hollywood believes that women can't possibly be interested in anything that isn't focused entirely on women finding men to take care of them and wearing pretty dresses. Those cynical bastards. Odd timing when you consider 2008 is the year America had its first legitimate female candidate for the office of United States President.
Still, things are looking good if you're a fan of watching 50-year-old women hang around talking about sex and pretending they don't have mustaches. Personally, I liked it better the first time when it was called 'The Golden Girls'. I guess that makes Sarah Jessica Parker the new Bea Arthur and Kim Cattrall the new Estelle Getty. There will be sex in this city. Just not necessarily good sex. It may however, do a damned good job of setting the womens' movement back thirty or forty years.

Crashes on Southern California's wet roads Saturday morning jumped nearly sixfold compared to the same time last weekend when the roads were dry.
RELATED: Weekend Rain Storm Hits SoCal
The California Highway Patrol recorded 315 crashes on Southern California freeways between 12:01 a.m. and 9 a.m. on Saturday, compared with 55 crashes in the same period a week ago.
The bulk of the crashes - about 280 - occurred in the last four hours from dawn to 9 a.m., when the showers hit, the CHP said.
"There's a misconception that the rain causes these crashes," said CHP Officer Francisco Villalobos. "It's not the rain, it's the way people are driving in the rain."
He blamed motorists driving too fast for the road conditions.
"You can't drive the same speed as you can on a dry roadway, especially with the first rain of the season," Villalobos said.
Most of the crashes occurred on bends in freeway roads such as on-ramps, off-ramps and transitions, Villalobos said. Vehicles across Los Angeles County either spun out or hit guard rails on the bends, he said.
Several freeways were blocked by surface flooding, crashed cars and trucks, or combinations of problems.
The multilevel interchange of the 210, 134 and 710 freeways in Pasadena was snarled in several directions by flooding or wrecks.
Westbound 210 lanes were blocked for four hours by a big rig that jackknifed before dawn.
And the tunnel that brings the eastbound 210 through the interchange was expected to be closed until 1 p.m. by wreckage from a multicar pileup.
At least three separate crashes occurred over two hours at the 101-405 interchange in the San Fernando Valley. And the southbound 5 truck lanes in the Newhall Pass were closed all morning by a spilled truckload of oranges that had to be scooped up with heavy machinery.
Dozens of other ramps and transition roads, from Castaic to Santa Fe Springs, were blocked by wrecked cars and trucks, or fire trucks. The CHP reported 75 crashes by 5 a.m., up from the 30 wrecks in the same period last week, according to the CHP.
In Los Angeles, about 6,500 Department of Water and Power accounts were in the dark before dawn, the result of various storm-related mishaps. A crash at Nordhoff Street and Sepulveda Boulevard caused a transformer fire that blacked out much of the North Hills, said DWP spokeswoman MaryAnne Pierson.
About 741 properties were blacked out in Beverly Hills, 100 in downtown Santa Monica, and an unknown number in western Malibu, where wires were down near Zuma Beach, said Southern California Edison spokesman Scott Andresen.
Authorities advised motorists driving in the rain to leave extra space between their vehicles, to allow for more time to react to or avoid potential collisions.
Southern California has been parched all winter, receiving only an inch of rain in November and not a drop since mid-December, according to the National Weather Service. L.A. already received 10 inches of rain by that time last year.
Dec. 2011 was markedly drier in the Southland than the year before, receiving only 10 to 30 percent of its normal rainfall for the month; whereas Dec. 2010 saw three to six times as as much the normal precipitation.
Oil that has seeped into the roadways has yet to be washed away, making for more dangerous conditions, Villalobos said.

You would need to set up the "fluff" to read the logfile and feed lines into this parser as shown in the SYNOPSIS.
The constructor for this class is the "new()" method. The constructor accepts only one argument, the log line to parse. The constructor will return an object or die() if the line is undef/zero-length.
Furthermore, you can supply an optional second argument: the subclass parser. It can be an object or a coderef. Please review the notes below, "Subclassing the parser".
It is important to remember that this class is simply a "factory" that parses the log line and hands the data off to the appropriate subclass. It is this subclass that is actually returned from the constructor. This means this class has no methods/subs/attributes attached to it and you should study the subclasses for details :)
Subclassing the parser
Since AssaultCube is open source, it is feasible for people to modify the server code to output other forms of logs. It makes sense for us to provide a way for others to make use of this code, and extend it to take their log format into account. What follows will be a description on how this is achieved.
In order to subclass the parser, all you need to do is provide either an object or a coderef to the constructor. It will be called before executing the normal parsing code contained in this class. If it's an object, the "parse()" method will be called on it; otherwise the coderef will be called.
The subclass can either return undef or a defined result. If it returns undef then we will continue with the normal code. If it was defined, then it will be returned directly to the caller, bypassing the parsing code. That way your subclass can return anything, from an object to a hashref to a simple "1". The implication of this is that your subclass will be called every time this class is instantiated. The arguments is simply the line to be parsed, just like the constructor of this class. From there your subclass can use the Games::AssaultCube::Log::Line::Base object if desired for it's events or anything else.
NOTE: Since the subclass would process every line, it is desirable to be very fast. It would be smart to design your log extensions so they are immediately detected by the subclass. A normal AssaultCube log line would look something like:
Team RVSF: 9 players, 63 frags, 0 flags
Status at 18-02-2009 10:02:56: 19 remote clients, 84.3 send, 5.2 rec (K/sec)
[18.104.22.168] abcde fragged fghi
It would be extremely beneficial if your "extended" log format includes an easily-recognizable prefix. Some examples would be something like this:
*LOG* Player "abcde" scored a 10-kill streak
|EXTLOG| Server restarted
== Player fghi captured the flag at 3:45 into the game
Then, your subclass's parse() method could check the first few characters of the line and immediately return before doing any extensive regex/split/code on it. Here's a sample parse() method for a subclass that uses the object style and the "==" extended log prefix:
sub parse {
my( $self, $line ) = @_;
if ( substr( $line, 0, 2 ) ne '==' ) {
} else {
# Process our own extended log format
# Be sure to return a defined result!
return 1;
We assume that if you know enough to extend the AssaultCube sources and add your own logs, you know enough to not cause conflicts in the log formats :) Have fun playing around with AssaultCube!

At 100th Tour, no such thing as a dull day
SAINT-AMAND-MONTROND, France — Wily Tour de France riders who used the wind and worked together to trap their rivals turned a trek across the flats of central France into a thriller on Friday, as exciting and, for the most unfortunate, as decisive as any spectacular day in the mountains.
Yellow jersey holder Chris Froome lost a chunk of his race lead but not enough to gravely endanger the Briton heading toward what is shaping up to be an intriguing finale in the Alps. The team of Alberto Contador dealt the former two-time champion back into the game, putting him close enough to Froome to make the last week interesting. A rear-wheel failure at the worst time dropped Alejandro Valverde from second place to nowhere. And Mark Cavendish got a 25th stage win to lift the British sprinter to joint third on the all-time list of cycling's premier race.
All this on a Stage 13 that, on paper, looked beforehand as though it might be a dud. But the riders are ensuring there's no such thing as a dull day at the 100th Tour. Much of the media build-up to this first Tour since the fall of Lance Armstrong focused on cycling's fight against doping. But from Stage 1 in Corsica two weeks ago, the sporting drama and the Tour's stunning visuals have come to the fore.
Much of Friday's mischief was cooked up by two teams — Belkin and Omega Pharma-QuickStep — that simply happened to share the same hotel the night before. With two-thirds of the stage left to race, a time when the pack often prefers to take things easy and let breakaway riders speed ahead for a while, Omega powered as a group to the front and rode like furies. They soon got additional support from Belkin. Their sudden acceleration and sustained high speed caught dozens of other riders off guard. The pack split into three groups. The breeze blowing across the long, undulating straights made it impossible for stragglers to catch up. Among them was Marcel Kittel, winner of three stages at this Tour.
Omega rider Jerome Pineau hinted it was no coincidence that his team and Belkin worked together. "Look at the list of hotels and look who we were with yesterday," he said. His teammate, Sylvain Chavanel, added: "You need some friends in the peloton."
Belkin rider Sep Vanmarcke said his Dutch team long ago identified this stage as a chance to spring a trap. "We had planned this. The team leaders knew exactly where we would go," he said. "We knew there would be a lot of side wind there and that would be the best place to go."
When Valverde's rear wheel broke with more than 80 kilometers (50 miles) to ride, the Spaniard could only look on helpless as the pack sped on without him. With a new rear wheel, he and his Movistar teammates tried but failed to catch back up. He lost nearly nine minutes to Froome. Now out of podium contention entirely, in 16th place, Valverde suggested he might seek to exact revenge on teams — he named Belkin and Europcar — that didn't slow up for him, saying: "Maybe we can make the race tougher for those who didn't help me today and made it so I couldn't catch up."
Froome signaled his disapproval of the way Valverde was eliminated. "I just hope that no team would do that to me if I had a mechanical problem," said the Team Sky leader. On this very tactical 173-kilometer (107-mile) stage from Tours in the Loire valley, Contador's Saxo-Tinkoff team then pulled the same trick as Belkin and Omega. They hit the gas about 30 kilometers (20 miles) from the crowded finish in the town of Saint-Amand-Montrond, again splintering the pack. This time, Froome was among those left behind.
Contador said his Italian teammate, Daniele Bennati, "rode a kilometer as if he were on a motorcycle. It was incredible, and that's what made the group break into a thousand pieces." "All you could do was fasten your seat belt," said another of Contador's teammates, Nicolas Roche.
Never letting up, they got Contador to the finish 1 minute, 9 seconds ahead of Froome. Contador, the Tour champion in 2007 and '09 who was stripped of his title the following year for doping, was having a poor race. He was badly beaten by Froome in the Pyrenees and the first time trial. His team's efforts for him on Friday reinvigorated his challenge for the third week where Contador has proved strong in previous races. From fourth place, with a 3:54 deficit to Froome, he moved up to third, 2:45 off the lead. Belkin's smart and well executed plan also moved its rider, Bauke Mollema from the Netherlands, to second, now 2:28 from Froome, instead of the 3:37 deficit he started the stage with.
Still, Froome's time cushion remains significant and he is an excellent climber. The imposing Mont Ventoux this Sunday and the Alps next week offer him chances to do damage of his own. "Having lost a minute there, that's always a bitter pill to swallow because we've worked really hard already to get the advantage we had. But saying that, we only lost a minute," he said. "I think there will be more time won and lost on a stage like Ventoux."
Cavendish just managed to stay with Contador's group when they accelerated away. He then beat Peter Sagan in the finishing sprint. Cavendish's 25th win moved him level with Frenchman Andre Leducq on the Tour's all-time list of stage winners. Now, only Bernard Hinault, with 28, and Eddy Merckx, with 34, have more than the Briton.
"An exceptional day," said race director Christian Prudhomme. "The Tour is far from over."

Window treatments are an absolute necessity for your new home or apartment. They not only help coordinate your decor and control natural lighting, but they also help maintain privacy as you go about your daily routine. Kmart carries blinds, drapes, valances and more to fit many styles of windows in any room of the house.
Add thick, room-darkening drapes or curtains to bedroom windows. These items can limit the amount of natural light that enters your home, and they also reduce light from street lamps or passing cars from entering a room. Whether you're hopping into bed for the night or just taking a quick nap in the afternoon, less light can mean a more comfortable sleeping environment.
For living areas, such as kitchens and family rooms, sheer curtains, drapes and valances allow subtle light to filter into the space. Install window hardware like rods and clip rings to complement both the window treatments and your decorating style. Installation is simple and typically requires screw drivers or small cordless power tools. Installing holdbacks with your window treatments will make enjoying bright, sunny days even easier.
Blinds are ideal for bathrooms because they control lighting while blocking the view from the outside. Crack open the blinds to enjoy sunrise as you start your day. Close them in the evenings for greater peace of mind while you unwind after a long day at work. Decorate and add functionality to your home with stylish and affordable window treatments from Kmart.

Welcome to Watch List, where we identify five things on TV to watch while you stay at home and count down the days until the "Mad Men" season premiere. Only six days to go. Looks like I'll have to drink this Manhattan and befriend a fetching stewardess to help pass the time. LET'S GO!
REAL HOUSEWIVES OF JERSEY – 10:00PM (Bravo – an NBC/Universal network) It's the season finale tonight of this Bravo show about women who hang out together even though they don't really like one another. Tonight, Danielle stuns a dinner party by whipping out the book that details her past drug use and arrest record. Then the drama heats up as the guests, one at a time, sit down and read that book in REAL TIME. You'll be stunned. You'll be horrified. You'll be asleep until Thursday. ANTICIPATION: CATTY!
ANTHONY BOURDAIN: NO RESERVATIONS – 10:00PM (Travel Channel) Tonight, Tony travels to Liberia. I used to work at an office that had a book called "The World's Most Dangerous Places" in the bathroom. I read it cover to cover over the course of a few months. The most dangerous countries on Earth were given a rating of five skulls. Here are the countries that got five skulls: Chechnya, Colombia, The Sudan, and Liberia. Not Iraq. Not Afghanistan. Not Somalia. You've got to work hard to be more violent and anarchic than Somalia, and yet Liberia managed to pull it off. Let's hope Tony makes it out of there to eat another day. ANTICIPATION: PEOPLE WITH GUNS!
BEHIND THE MUSIC: USHER – 8:00PM (VH1) The pop superstar gets his own hour retrospective this evening.

ANTICIPATION: SCANDALOUS!
OBSESSED – 10:00PM (A&E) A Germophobe is terrified of odd numbers. Like 3. Or 17. Or 139. Or 6, which isn't technically odd, yet is rather bizarre anyway. I never trusted that 6. It just looks like it's up to no good. I'm watching you, 6. ANTICIPATION: 1! 11! 983!
THE BACHELORETTE – 8:00PM (ABC) Tonight, Ali takes one of the guys to a heart-shaped island. Because the shape of an island makes it inherently more romantic. If the island were shaped like the number 6, Ali and her man would be killed by a volcano. ANTICIPATION: PEOPLE ON VACATION!

A Case Study of Indian FirmsSudhanshu, Rai (Frederiksberg, 2010)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: In this paper I ask the basic question highlighted in the title, how does innovative potential and collaborative capacity contribute to a firm's innovativeness? To address this central question I draw on innovative potential and collaborative capacity as a dynamic notion evaluates the data from India. This paper tries to create a framework creating a sustainable environment for ICT Innovation. To do that I argue that innovative potential and collaborative capacity provide a constellation of inputs to the firm to address both internal and external challenges. For instance while innovative potential works at a project or an individual level while collaborative capacity is seen to work at a firm or perhaps at the inter firm level. This does not mean IP acts only at the locus stated. I conjecture that IP/CC interact with each other at defferent levels, where each takes turn in driving the process of ICT Innovation.

Insights from IndiaSudhanshu, Rai (Frederiksberg, 2010)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: In this paper my endeavor is to explore the meaning and implication of collaberation within a dynamic frame which I refer to a capacity. First I review the collaboration literature from an innovation perspective and then develop a framework that enables me to engage with the data we collected during the Euro-India Innovation Mapping project funded by the European Union under the FP-7 program. The idea is to refine theory and contribute to a better understanding of collaborative as a capacity firms can build creating the environment of collaboration both within and outside. I conclude this paper discussing the new insight on collaborative capacity (CC) of firms and their implications for ICT collaboration and firm innovativness. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8260

Insights from the ICT industry in IndiaSudhanshu, Rai (Frederiksberg, 2010)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: In this paper I discuss innovative potential at a firm level using information system literature and broadening my review to R&D literature as well. This review enables me to develop a theoretical frame of what researchers have indicated to be innovative potential or capacity at the firm level. While the information system literature does refer to a firms innovative potential as a dynamic phenomena, thus the inception of this phenomena is rooted through the R&D literature, which is helpful but in itself has a weakness. In relying on the R&D perspective to explain innovative potential of a firm information system researchers have stuck to the static notion of innovation while talking about innovative potential (IP) as a dynamic process. This paper redresses that imbalance as it tries to formulate a theory of IP that in my opinion better explains IT innovation at the firm level from a dynamic perspective in its conception, operation and instantiation. I conclude this paper with insights on what I call the dynamic IP threshold arguing that being dynamic cannot be seen as a point in time but a threshold existing over time. I then discuss some implications. I suggest that firms need to consider IP as a long term investment not only in human capital but in the way the human capital is allowed to engage with new ideas. I suggest IP can be build using institutional logics that enable openness and collegiality. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8257

By the time kids are 4 to 5 years old, their physical skills like running, jumping, kicking, and throwing, have come a long way. Now they'll continue to refine these skills and build on them to learn more complex ones.
Take advantage of your child's natural tendency to be active. Feeling confident about his or her abilities builds self-esteem, and staying fit decreases the risk of serious illnesses later in life.
Physical activity guidelines for preschoolers recommend that each day:
It's important to understand what preschoolers can handle. They should participate in fun and challenging activities that help build skills and coordination but aren't beyond their abilities.
Kids this age are learning to hop, skip, and jump forward, and are eager to show off how they can balance on one foot (for 5 seconds or longer), catch a ball, or do a somersault. Preschoolers also might enjoy swimming, hiking, dancing, and riding a tricycle or bicycle with training wheels.
Many parents look to organized sports to get preschoolers active. But the average 4- or 5-year-old has not mastered even the basics, such as throwing, catching, and taking turns. Even simple rules may be hard for them to understand, as any parent who has watched their child run the wrong way during a game knows.
And starting too young can be frustrating for kids and may discourage future participation in sports. So if you decide to sign your preschooler up for soccer or another team sport, be sure to choose a peewee league that focuses on the fundamentals.
No matter what the sport or activity, remember that fitness should be fun. If your child isn't having fun, ask why and try to address the issue or find another activity.
Walking, playing, running in the backyard, or using playground equipment at a local park can be fun for the entire family.
Other activities to try together, or for a group of preschoolers to enjoy, include:
Kids can be active even when they're stuck indoors. Designate a safe play area and try some active inside games:
If your child refuses to play or join other kids in sports or complains of pain after being active, talk with your doctor.
Kids who enjoy sports and exercise tend to stay active throughout their lives. And staying fit can improve self-esteem, prevent obesity, and decrease the risk of serious illnesses such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart disease later in life.

The Fisherman's cottage restoration at Carrick-a-Rede helps cast a net into the past for the future
Saturday and Sunday, April 8 and 9th, the old fisherman's cottage at Carrick-a-Rede was open to the public.
The National Trust rangers were on hand to give guided talks in the cottage on Carrick-a-Rede Island every 15 minutes between 1pm and 4pm all weekend.
The Fishery Open Weekends are an opportunity for visitors to learn about the history of salmon fishing on the north coast and hear more about the first rope bridge on the site, as well as fishing and transporting techniques used by the old fishermen of Carrick-a-Rede.

Pottery & Porcelain Marks – Triangle & Heart: Most marks of triangles and hearts were first used in the early 20th century, but a few appeared in the late 1800s. Few of these marks are elaborate; most have a simple line border that makes the shape, with names or initials inside and outside the border. Of the few heart marks, none have the name or initials inside. Companies in European countries were the almost-exclusive producers of pieces with these marks.
