I have the unwavering belief that every single person can use their voice to help close the gender gap. I wake up every single day with the opportunity—but more importantly the obligation—to help achieve gender equality for the 140,000 women of Accenture and also for the next generation who will come through our doors.
We have focused on three key areas of disruption—first, recruiting women, second, advancing women, and third, sponsoring our women.
The first thing we did (with Chairman & CEO Pierre Nanterme) was set a very bold goal. In 2015, we said that by 2017, 40 percent of the people we hire will be women. When you're hiring 90,000 people a year, that's a big goal. We felt we really needed to be transparent. So, we published our goal in our U.N. Global Compact so the whole world could see it. Two years into it, we're just shy of our 40 percent goal. I hope next year I'll be able to say we've achieved it, and we've exceeded it.
The holy grail for a career in professional services is the promotion to managing director. Over the past five years, we had been promoting about 21 percent women every year. So we tried something different. We sent out a communication to our Global Leadership Council, and we said: "We are going to promote all the women who are ready first, and then we'll promote the men." And it worked. In the first year, we improved our promotion rate by 30 percent, from 21 percent women to 28 percent women.
We have women leading the United States, India, China, Singapore, and the Philippines. That's progress.
We have a fundamental belief that our diversity makes us smarter and more innovative. In order to do that, we need to have sponsorship from the top. It's setting the tone at the top and ensuring that women have a seat at the table.
While I'm pleased with our progress. I'm not happy with where we are. Our work is not done. We can, and we will, do better. We have to.
By using our voice today, we can truly open the doors for tomorrow. I hope you believe that your voice can help change the world too.

Needle Biopsy: Thyroid
(Fine-Needle Aspiration: Thyroid; Skinny-Needle Biopsy: Thyroid; Coarse-Needle Biopsy: Thyroid; Core Needle Biopsy: Thyroid)
A needle biopsy uses a needle to removal of a small piece of tissue or fluid for testing. In this case, the tissue is removed from the thyroid gland.
Reasons for Procedure
A thyroid biopsy is usually done when a lump is found in the thyroid. The lump is often called a thyroid nodule. These nodules are fairly common and usually do not need treatment. Only about 5% of nodules are cancerous.
The needle biopsy is usually done to see if a nodule is cancer. The biopsy may also be done if there is no nodule but the thyroid is enlarged.
|Thyroid Nodule
|© 2011 Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Possible Complications
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
- Bleeding
- Bruising where the needle was inserted
- Pain after the procedure
- Infection
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
In the days leading up to your procedure, you may have a physical exam and blood tests. Your doctor will talk with you about your medical history, including any allergies you may have. Talk to your doctor about any medications you are taking. You may be need to stop taking some medications up to one week before the procedure
You will need to arrange for a ride home from the care center.
Local anesthesia is used. The area that is affected will be numb.
You may also be given a sedative to help you relax
Description of the Procedure
There are 2 types of biopsies:
- Fine-needle aspiration (FNA)—most common
- Coarse-needle biopsy (CNB)
You will be asked to lie on your back. A pillow will be placed under your shoulders. Your neck will be extended. The site of the biopsy will be cleaned. For an FNA, your doctor will insert a tiny hollow needle into the nodule to collect a sample of tissue. For a CNB, your doctor will make a small cut in the skin. The needle will be inserted through the incision and into the thyroid to collect a sample. The process may need to be repeated several times. After the procedure, pressure will be applied to the biopsy site. A bandage will be applied.
In some cases, your doctor will use ultrasound to help locate the area that needs to be sampled. If ultrasound is used, the doctor will place a transducer on your neck. The transducer will send images to a screen for your doctor to view. These images will be used to locate the nodule and to guide the needle. This helps to make sure your doctor got a sample of the nodule and not the surrounding "normal" tissue.
How Long Will It Take?
About 10-30 minutes
Will It Hurt?
You may feel soreness at the biopsy site for 1-2 days. Talk to your doctor about medications that may help.
Post-procedure Care
When you return home after the procedure, do the following to help ensure a smooth recovery:
- If you had FNA, remove the bandage within a few hours. If you had CNB, remove the bandage in a few days.
- Avoid vigorous physical activity for 24 hours.
- Return to normal activities.
- Take over-the-counter pain medication as needed.
Call Your Doctor
Your doctor will need to check on your progress. It is important to go to any recommended appointments.
- Bleeding
- Signs of infection, including fever and chills
- Trouble breathing or swallowing
- Excessive neck swelling
- Unusual pain or discomfort
If you think you have an emergency, call for emergency medical services away.

Welcome to my birthday party today! That's right – I just happen to be a year older on this very day.
How old? Well, I like to say that age is just a number and that it's the life in your years that counts… But if you push me, I have to confess that my age has a 0 in it.. and a 5… (though not necessarily in that order)!
For some strange reason, this is an important age in Sweden and after discussing it with their friends, the anklebiters have come to some conclusions:
Anklebiter #2 (6.5 years old): "Mama, when you're 49 years old, you can still play with children. But when you're 50, you have to stop…"
My reply? You only have to stop if you grow up as well as old.
Anklebiter #1 (8 years old): "All my friends are jealous that you're so old." (Why – thank you!) "You'll have to take lots of rests when you turn fifty though…"
Ahhhh – if only!
And if I am to go through a mid-life crisis, then I'm not sure which one it should be, as Steve Toltz so amusingly put it:
"There were no two ways about it: I was in a crisis. But recent shifts in the behaviour of different age groups made it hard to know what type – How could it be a midlife crisis when the forties were the new twenties, the fifties the new thirties . . . I had to read the lifestyle supplement to make sure I wasn't going through puberty."

Summary Meeting Notes: July 19, 2012 for Community Involvement PEG
Date: July 19, 2012
Time: 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
PEG Attendees: Kyle Brown, Nickole Cheron, Greg Greenway, Denver Igarta, Paul Leistner/ PEG co-lead, Morgan Masterman, Linda Nettekoven, Mike VanderVeen, Robb Wolfson
Other Attendees: Sandra Wood, Bureau of Planning and Sustainability/observing for Marty Stockton (BPS); Lee Perlman, community member and reporter for the Southeast Examiner
Facilitator: Deb Meihoff
View the original agenda, including materials, for this meeting.
Key Points and Outcomes
- Identified Elements of Good Public Involvement for Land Use Planning and Development Review (first draft) that will frame development of updated comprehensive plan policies
- Refined PEG work plan to organize by community involvement element
- August meeting will include presentations on how the various planning and development processes guided by the comprehensive plan work today and will begin to discuss existing and potential new policy language for a two of the priority elements
- The PEG survey will be finalized, including questions about a few of the key public involvement elements, and distributed through community networks prior to the next meeting.
Welcome Introductions, and Announcements (10 minutes)
Presenter: Self-introductions.
Groups working on Community Involvement and the Comprehensive Plan Update (15 minutes)
Presenter: Paul Leistner, Office of Neighborhood Involvement and PEG Co-lead
Summary: Reviewed roles and relationships of the PEG to other groups working on community involvement with relationship to the Comprehensive Plan update:
- Community Involvement Committee (CIC) - appointed by the Planning and Sustainability Commission with the legal mandate to oversee community involvement in the Comprehensive Plan update; members are sitting on all of the PEGs and report directly to the Commission.
- Public Involvement Advisory Council (PIAC) - the PIAC was appointed by City Council to improve the quality and consistency of public involvement across City government and to create guidelines for how City government engages with the public on the decisions that impact them. The PIAC is guided by the Council-adopted Principles of Public Involvement; some members of the PIAC sit on the Community Involvement PEG. PIAC reports directly to City Council.
- PIAC Comprehensive Plan Work Group - The PIAC has created a subcommittee to review and support the update of the Comp Plan Public Involvement goal. Many members of this PIAC work group also are members of the CI PEG. The PIAC Work Group members will meet monthly between the CI PEG meetings and will work on assignments that support the work of the CI PEG. All work of the PIAC Work Group will be shared with and reviewed by the CI PEG members. The PIAC Work Group will not make any decisions or policy choices for the CI PEG. CI PEG members are welcome—but not required to--attend the PIAC Work Group meetings. PIAC Work Group members will keep PIAC members informed of the work of the CI PEG.
The CI PEG co-leads are working with the CI PEG and PIAC Work Group to develop and implement a community outreach strategy to obtain community input on gaps in public involvement in the current system and ideas for improvements. The first element in this CI PEG outreach strategy is a community survey.
The CIC is developing and, with staff assistance, will carry out a broader community outreach program for the Comprehensive Plan update, as a whole.
Some key steps in the formal review and approval process for the CI PEG's draft Comp Plan goals and objectives include:
- Formal public review and comments on the Comp Plan update "discussion draft"
- Additional work by the CI PEG
- BPS staff preparation of a final draft
- Review by the Planning and Sustainability Commission
- Review and approval by City Council.
Our (updated) process going forward (5 minutes)
Presenter: Deb Meihoff, facilitator
Summary: At each meeting, updates and next steps will be outlined for the PIAC work group and PEG outreach efforts. Summary meeting notes will be sent out with agendas at least 1 week prior to each meeting. We will check in at the end of each meeting to determine needed adjustments, progress, issues, process improvements, etc. PEG members are always welcome to contact Deb, Paul, and/or Marty between meetings and we will check in with PEG members along the way.
A CI PEG member commented on the recruitment process for the CI PEG and suggested that it would have been better if the selection process had been a full and open process similar to that used to recruit members to the other PEGS rather then initially drawing from existing PIAC members.
Defining the Elements of Good Public Involvement in Land Use Planning and Development Review (60 minutes)
Group Discussion
Summary: The group discussed ways to use the City's adopted Public Involvement Principles ("PI Principles") as the basis for developing Comprehensive Plan public involvement policy language. The group also reviewed and discussed best practices drawn from the Portland Plan Equity Framework andCalifornia's Institute for Local Government (CA-ILG) Public Engagement Principles.
- All of the PI Principles need to be translated into the Comprehensive Plan, but some of them may need to be split into more than one topic (example: Partnership addresses involving citizens in decision-making and the need to communicate how public input is used.) The CA-ILG principles are very clearly written and provide many good examples of the direct and discrete organization of elements.
- Discussion about elements from the CA-ILG principles that should be considered:
- "Accessible Participation". A specific element related to accessibility is desirable. The related CA-ILG principle discusses both broad accessibility issues/barriers, including "location, time, language" as well as specifically calling out the need to "support the engagement of residents with disabilities." The PI Principles reference accessibility under the "Transparency" principle. Group members discussed how accessibility can be talked about in two ways: accessibility for everyone regardless of status or geography, vs. "barrier free" accessibility.
- "Inclusive Planning." Policy or goals should capture the need to involve citizens in the design of public involvement processes, and include this as an indicator of success.
- "Informed Participation". Community members should have the "information they need" and "the capacity to participate" in a meaningful way. Staff should be empowered to engage in community education as an important way to ensure informed participation. Community education has a strong connection to relationship building between government and community members. The PI Principles "Partnership" and "Transparency" include aspects of the CA-ILG's "informed participation" principle
- "Transparency". The CA-ILG "transparency" principle focuses on the clarity of and understanding by the public about the public involvement process. The PI Principles "transparency" principle focuses on access to information about policy and decision-making processes. Transparency and accountability are important elements in the community's ability to "have an impact" on decision making. Processes should be transparent early on by telling people how they can influence the process and the outcome and at the end of the process by telling people how their input had an impact.
- Other comments about the Elements of Good Public Involvement
- The key elements need to be translated into goal and objective language that will have a real effect on the way city staff involve the public in long-range planning and development inPortland.
- "Early Involvement" needs to express the connections to relevancy and transparency, and could include priority setting, involvement in process design, and formal notification.
- "Priority setting should be two-way street." Community members should be able to come forward with ideas of what they want and need and have a voice in determining which topics get attention and action." This needs to become a standard of how we do business.
- "Early assessment". Every planning and development project that takes guidance from the Comprehensive Plan should begin with a quick "interest and impact" assessment that identifies the level and nature of stakeholder interest and potential impacts. This assessment will help determine the level and breadth of process needed. One suggestion was that every city project should have a "public involvement strategy" whether the project requires extensive public involvement or minimal involvement.
- "Processes should fit the scope/scale of different projects." One suggestion was to develop a spectrum of five different levels of processes from large projects with broad impacts to small local projects.
- "CurrentCityprocess requirements vary a lot." The City Code currently imposes very different public process requirements for different types of projects and across different bureaus. Group members agreed they need to learn more about these existing requirements. community members can become frustrated when they have experience with high levels of process in one area (such as the extensive notice, review drafts, hearings, appeals, etc. in formal land use planning) and find much less formal involvement in other city decision-making processes.
- "Involvement throughout the life of a project." Group members discussed projects that may span many years in which community members are involved in problem definition and project design early on but funding for implementation may not become available until years later. At that time, a different set of community members may complain that they weren't involved or the project is not longer needed. Group members agreed that public involvement strategies need to ensure involvement throughout the life of this kind of project.
Initial list of elements to be addressed in the policy draft of the Comprehensive Plan (look to CA-ILG principles as good example of clear communication in layout):

Work Plan Priorities (10 minutes)
Presenter: Deb Meihoff
Summary: PEG members generally prefer adjusting the work plan to align with the Elements, rather than the type of planning project. There was discussion about the many different types of projects and that not all planning or development projects are directed by the Comprehensive Plan. Staff will arrange for presentations at the next PEG meeting to provide an overview of Comprehensive Plan processes related to land use, development review, and capital improvement/public facility planning - timing, typical process approach, how the Comprehensive Plan is currently used and how it could be used in the future. Following the presentations, PEG members will begin working through details of existing and needed policy for each of the elements, starting with Transparency and Process Design in August.
Finalize Outreach Survey (10 minutes)
Presenter: Paul Leistner, Office of Neighborhood Involvement and PEG Co-lead
Summary: Paul reviewed the final draft and agreed to use the PEG's discussion to populate the section that addresses a handful of Elements. The PEG requested the background section of the survey be provided through a web link to a separate page, so that the user will get to the survey questions quickly. Beyond the survey, PEG members would like to understand the broader outreach strategy - what we are trying to learn and how it is influencing the PEG's work - specific methods, timing, and community members that will be reached through each effort, including the survey. Staff will finalize and distribute the survey before the next PEG meeting.
Public Comment (5 minutes)
- Lee Perlman, community member and freelance reporter, commented that he would like the Comprehensive Plan to maintain a role for neighborhood plans and that the existing neighborhood plans be updated along with the Comprehensive Plan update.
Next Steps
- PEG Co-leads will revise PEG work plan to reflect new approach by Element - two to three elements to be discussed at each PEG meeting
- Co-leads will prepare for the August meeting, presentations on different types of land use, development review, and capital project planning processes that are guided by the Comprehensive Plan - what they are, existing policy, and the typical process currently used
- Co-leads will finalize and distribute the PEG's community survey, with assistance from the PIAC's Comprehensive Plan work group.
- Co-leads and the PIAC's Comprehensive Plan work group will work to draft an overall community outreach strategy for the PEG with details on methods, timing, purpose, target audiences

Taylor's DC collection

Taylor Swift played the first of two shows in Washington DC last night. And her friend Lorde was there as the special guest. Then they told each other how much they love each other over Instagram: When your friend flies across the world to surprise your crowd with 'Royals' because she's a wondrous angel. @lordemusic Full Story

John Travolta is currently making the rounds in New York to promote Killing Season, his new movie with Robert De Niro. Click here to see the trailer. It looks like sh-t. And Travolta's accent is... hilarious. He's in good spirits though. Full Story

Jason Merritt/Michael Buckner/Getty
God I miss The West Wing (seasons 1 to 4). As mentioned last week, Dustin Lance Black's 8 was read in LA on Saturday night featuring many major celebrities including Brad Pitt and George Clooney playing Judge Vaughn Walker and David Boies respectively. Full Story
Same event?
When I go out with my friends, say Duana and I are in LA or whatever and we're heading out for dinner, followed by some party, normally since we stay together, we get dressed together as in we choose clothes that match in terms of occasion. Usually it's her matching me, because I'm always in jeans (she doesn't understand how a person can own so many pairs of jeans but jeans are like an addiction for me), but the point is, I'm never going to be in jeans while she's in some kind of ball gown. Full Story
The Singing Show
Written by Duana Brittany has a show on Youtube on which she outs Santana while Amber and Tina watch. It's about fondue, and consequently it makes me want fondue. Rachel asks Sam to the prom, and he really says no in a harsh manner. Full Story
The Neglected
Written by Duana Oh why Hello. The show opens with some math, so you know about how I'm going to feel. The kids are going to sell Salt Water Taffy to raise money to get to Nationals. Kids are not jazzed about this because people still hate them. Full Story
GOOP & Schue Over the Rainbow
So Matthew Morrison is releasing an album. As announced recently, he collaborates with Gwyneth Paltrow on a cover of Over the Rainbow. I guess the song has special meaning for him because he performed it for his Glee audition and then they let him do it on the show. EW.com Full Story
GOOP: Mr Schue, cookbooks, and ancestry
Where to begin? First, click here to see the pictures. Matthew Morrison is in London. Gwyneth Paltrow lives in London. They went out for dinner to Locanda Locatelli this weekend and then hit up the Grosvenor for drinks. Needless to say, gossips are trying to make a story of it now about them carrying on some kind of affair. Full Story
Glee gets drunk
Written by Duana I'm writing this somewhere over Nebraska, and weeping like a fool because I just watched Waiting for Superman. I've been wanting to watch this, but I somehow didn't make it until now – if you haven't seen it, you don't need my preaching – but it's about the problems in the American school system, what it needs, what happens to the kids who slip through the cracks, how they can be helped. Full Story
What they say about Lea Michele
You'll learn nothing important about Lea Michele in a Lea Michele interview. Good gossip about Lea Michele however turns up in interviews with other people. She rolls up like a movie extra and drops some gold in your lap and it's the best sh-t ever. Did you read Matthew Morrison's Details profile? Click here Full Story
Mr Schue & Lonely Boy
While Blake Lively is probably trying to convince Ryan Gosling to make her his steady, her discarded ex-boyfriend Penn Badgley was invited to bro down with Glee's Matthew Morrison in Punta Cana over the holiday.

Buyers and sellers throughout Florida trust GetMoreOffers® and it's affiliated agents. We make searching for a house in Florida quick and simple on our popular website GetMoreOffers.com. Our site contains homes for sale by owner and MLS listed properties from many areas of Florida.
Our agents pay attention to every detail about your important purchase. The type of contract that you use to make an offer is important. Our agents will advise you on whether an "As-Is" contract is better way to make an offer versus a contract with repair limits. There is a vast difference. For example, an "As-Is" contract allows a buyer to escape the contract for any reason once inspected. Where a contract calls for repair limits of 1.5% of the sales price to discuss and negotiate inspection related "warranted" repair items. This type of contract is not as easy to escape. The term "warranted" opens the door for possible conversations that may not be in the best interest of a buyer. Your agent can best determine which type of contract best suits your needs.
Our number one priority is your purchase and getting the most for your money. Each agent that works with GetMoreOffers® has buyer skills that are exceptional, has demonstrated their professionalism through work ethic, real estate contract knowledge and excellent local knowledge.

That's right, another cemetery has been added!
This time it's the gorgeous wee rural cemetery located on the outskirts of Glentunnel in the Selwyn District of Canterbury. It may be small, but this cemetery is packed with interesting old gravestones.
If you ever find yourself in Glentunnel, be sure to check out the museum, it's stuffed to the gills with local memorabilia, along with photographs of old settlers and the items they would have been familiar with in their day to day lives in the area.
We'll be adding to this cemetery in the course of the next week or so, so check back often.
Happy Hunting.

Doctor of Physical Therapy
Physical therapists (PTs) are healthcare professionals who specialize in movement and movement dysfunction. PTs help patients of all ages restore function and eliminate disability, and also serve as educators, researchers, advocates, and consultants.
At the School of Health Sciences, we train physical therapists who are compassionate as they are capable.
We offer a three-year, dual-degree program that leads to both a bachelor of science (BS) in health sciences and a clinical doctorate in physical therapy (DPT).
Why Touro?
Our faculty includes specialists in neurology, orthopedics, pediatrics, and cardiopulmonary physical therapy, all of whom bring the "clinic to the classroom" every day.
Because of our small class sizes, your professors can offer you one-on-one guidance, advising, and mentoring as you cultivate the critical thinking, professionalism, and cultural competency that set Touro graduates apart.
Our employment rate is 100%, in part because DPT students learn to work collaboratively with other healthcare professionals from day one. SHS also offers programs in occupational therapy and nursing, among others, and we provide interprofessional educational opportunities for all.
Our CAPTE accredited, intensive, clinically-oriented curriculum first provides a strong foundation in the basic and clinical sciences before progressing to more complex integration and application. All DPT candidates complete a research project and four full-time clinical experiences in diverse settings in the tri-state area and nationwide, including teaching hospitals, nursing facilities, private practices, rehabilitation centers, schools, and home care.
The DPT program is offered in New York at our Bay Shore and Manhattan campuses. Classes at Bay Shore are held Monday through Friday, while classes in Manhattan are Sunday through Thursday. Both campuses share the same curriculum, and faculty from both campuses collaborate to design the ultimate teaching and learning experience. The only significant difference is the anatomy course. At the Long Island campus, the laboratory portion of the anatomy course entails cadaver dissection; at the Manhattan campus, the course utilizes mainly computer-assisted instruction supplemented with a few demonstrations in the Bay Shore cadaver lab.

Newport Township police are investigating a report of abuse against a resident at a local nursing home.
Police were recently notified about the allegations and have been interviewing employees at Guardian Eldercare Center, 147 Old Newport St., to determine what happened, Newport Township police Chief Jeremy Blank said today. One instance of abuse has been reported, he said.
Blank declined to specify what the alleged abuse entailed, citing an ongoing investigation, but said the allegations were not sexual in nature.
The Guardian Eldercare Center released a statement saying administrators learned about an alleged incident of abuse on Wednesday and contacted police, as required by law.
"The facility is working in conjunction with local law enforcement and all other appropriate regulatory agencies to ensure ongoing resident safety," the statement said. "Guardian Eldercare Center takes allegations of resident abuse very seriously and has a zero tolerance policy for any violation of resident rights."
The statement did not address the nature of the alleged abuse, nor whether any staff members had been disciplined.
The center has had some troubles in the past, according to records from the Department of Health and Human Services' Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
An inspection Jan. 31 resulted in the agency recommending the center develop and implement policies for screening and training employees as well as for identifying, investigating and reporting abuse and neglect, according to an HHS report.
The inspection revealed a bed-ridden resident who requires the assistance of two people to be transferred from bed and one person for using the bathroom had fallen out of bed in August, prompting his responsible party to ask, "Did he get pushed out of bed?" according to the report.
The man, who was unable to describe what happened, had a 3 centimeter tear on his right elbow, the report says.
Despite a roommate who was able to talk being present and the resident's responsible party questioning the fall, administrators failed to ask the roommate what happened, the report concludes.
The report also faults the center for failing to provide a resident a suitable meal, failing to report a resident's high blood sugar to a medical doctor, failing to respond timely to call bells — causing some residents to have accidents — and running out of prescription medications.

New Products - February 2014
Odyssey Expands Battery Line
EnerSys has expanded its Odyssey Performance Series battery product line to include sizing in Group 34 and Group 78. Both feature 792 cold cranking amps (CCA) and 114 reserve capacity (RC) minutes. They also feature deep cycle capability up to 400 cycles at 80 percent depth of discharge. The new Performance Series battery sizes feature the same rugged EnerSys construction, deep cycling capabilities, long service life, and high reliability. Odyssey Performance Series batteries offer a 3- to 10-year service life and two-year storage life at 77 degrees F (25 degrees C). They are vibration resistant, classified as non-spillable by the U.S. Department of Transportation, and include a four-year full replacement warranty.
Boze Shifter Wheel
Several years ago, Boze started on a Pro Touring 'Cuda project with their friend, Rasmus Porsager, from Denmark. He asked them to build a set of 20-inch Shifter wheels to his specifications, sizes 20x8.5 (front) and 20x12 (rear). He also asked for a two-tone finish with powdercoated charcoal centers and brushed satin rims. These wheels were installed with Michelin PS2 tires in sizes 235/35ZR20 and 335/35ZR20, and we think you'll agree they yield such a nice stance on this '70 Barracuda! All Boze wheels are custom built to your dimensions and finish, so if you're looking to snazz up your Pro Touring ride with something special, give Boze a call.

Sheetmetal From Eastwood
The Eastwood Company has launched a line of replacement sheetmetal for classic cars and trucks from Auto Metal Direct (AMD). Offering panels for GM and Mopar vehicles dating back to 1957, the replacement sheetmetal panels replicate original stampings and details. With over 900 panels available, restoration shops and hobbyists now have a solution for replacing original panels that are too damaged to fix. Featuring the same thickness metal as OEM, correct nuts, and stamping details, the AMD panels fit and look just like the original panels.
"There are a variety of brands of replacement panels for classic cars available, but many are poor stampings that do not fit properly and are made of thinner gauge metal," said Nick Capinski, Eastwood restoration expert. "The AMD panels fit and look just like the original panels, down to the minor details."
Eastwood offers replacement hoods, quarter-panels, fenders, doorskins, floorpans, and all of the tools and supplies needed to install and prep these panels for paint.
New Belts For GM Classics
Juliano's Interior Products now offers officially licensed GM seatbelts in addition to their already extensive lineup of safety restraints.

The lap belts are available in 60- or 74-inch length in over 40 colors. Of course all of Juliano's seatbelts are made in the United States and meet or exceed FMVSS 209 and 302 safety standards. Installation is straightforward using your existing mounts, or choose Juliano's anchor plate kits. Prices start at $39.95.

Ryan Boatright and Shabazz Napier make up an excellent backcourt tandem. UConn has a strong history of excellent guards. Here are some great ones:
1964-65: The tandem: Wes Bialosuknia, Tom Penders
The record: 23-3, lost to St. Joe's in NCAA Tournament
By the numbers: Bialosuknia, the Poughkeepsie Popper, averaged 21.3 points. Penders, who went on to a long, successful career in coaching, shot 51 percent.
2010-11: Kemba Walker, Jeremy Lamb
The record: 32-9, NCAA champs
By the numbers: Walker averaged 23.8 points and hit numerous clutch shots, most notably against Pitt in the Big East tournament. Lamb, a freshman, came of age in the postseason and averaged 16.2 points in the NCAA Tournament. Both went on to become NBA lottery picks.
1998-99: Khalid El-Amin, Ricky Moore
The record: 32-4, NCAA champs
By the numbers: El-Amin averaged 13.8 points and had 144 assists, providing the take-charge leadership that finally put UConn over the top. Moore averaged 6.8 points and had 131 assists, and is best remembered for shutting down Trajon Langdon of Duke in the championship game. Moore is now a UConn assistant coach.
2003-04: Taliek Brown, Ben Gordon
The record: 33-6, NCAA champs
By the numbers: Brown had 253 assists and Gordon averaged 18.5 points to lead the Huskies. They were perfect complements for Emeka Okafor up front.
1994-95: Doron Sheffer, Kevin Ollie
The record: 28-5, lost to eventual champ UCLA in the NCAA Elite Eight.
By the numbers: Having brought Sheffer from Israel to push Ollie as starting point guard, coach Jim Calhoun decided to keep both in the lineup, and it resulted in a supercharged offense: The Huskies challenged the 100-point mark nearly every game. Ollie averaged 9.8 points, with 212 assists. Sheffer had 11.3 points per game and 183 assists.
1989-90: Tate George, Chris Smith
The record: 31-6, lost to Duke in NCAA Tournament
By the numbers: George, a junior who had helped win the NIT as a freshman, averaged 12.6 points, had 179 assists and hit a memorable shot to beat Clemson in the tournament. Smith, a big get from Bridgeport, averaged 17.2 points.

When I heard that former Vice President Dick Cheney hurt his back moving boxes, I immediately knew what must be up.
Why would Dr. Strangelove need to move boxes? Surely he has people for that.
But not if they're the boxes chockfull of all his secret documents, of which Cheney must have reams and reams; those, the ever-secretive Cheney would need to move on his own.
A rule of thumb for journalists and researchers during the Bush years was that his administration required that all Freedom of Information Act requests be denied. The tight-lipped circle of power kept as much top secret as it could get away with, and sometimes you wondered if they really were down in a mineshaft complex somewhere, plotting their next move.
Anyway, today President Barack Obama made good a campaign pledge and signed a series of orders meant to create a more open government.
As the Politico reports, "Obama said the moves were aimed at helping to 'restore that faith in government without which we cannot deliver the changes we were sent here to make,' drawing a barely veiled contrast between himself and a predecessor who was accused by critics of excessive security and abuses of the law."
Obama ordered all kinds of rules meant to keep lobbyists from gaining too much voice with his cabinet, and took a shot at Cheney, saying, "The mere fact that you have the legal power to keep something secret does not mean that you should always use it."
"Before deciding to bar information from public view," Politico reports Obama as saying, "he would consult with his Attorney General and White House counsel – a move aimed at curbing the Bush administration's penchant for making information classified. President George W. Bush argued that as president he had the right to classify – or declassify – information as he saw fit."

(there will be plenty of time for questions, just as soon as I'm finished with my speech)
Ever notice how government officials (and/or the New York Mets) try to bury stories that don't entirely flatter themselves on Friday nights or weekends? No? GOOD, you're just my kind of person! In the spirit of helpfulness (and perhaps acknowledging that every member of our constituency doesn't read popular music blogs 75 times a day), we'd like to issue the following friendly reminders ;
a) On April 26, Merge (U.S.) and Wichita (UK) will be releasing the new Times New Viking album, 'Dancer Equired'. We've heard it, and no matter what hyperbole our rec. biz pals are throwing around, it's even better than whatever they're saying. .
b) On Feb. 22, Jagjaguwar is issuing the 3rd album from The Cave Singers, 'No Witch'. I've not heard this one (damn you, Web Sharrif!), but when we're promised the new full-length exhibits "a ferocity and bite we've yet to see from the band", you can be certain I'm getting my
rabies vaccination cash in order. Hope you do the same.

Perhaps you're not aware, but long before I rose to the ranks of Matablog editor / label co-owner, I dabbled a bit in the wild world of music press. Back in the go-go 1980's, I wrote for publications including (but not limited to) High Wire, The Wayland Town Crier, and of course, Smegma Journal. During that period, I had the good fortune of covering such emerging, pioneering acts as the Little River Band, Nantucket and The Sickness.
So it's with that body of work (probably part of an Experience Music Project exhibit, if not an entirely new wing someday) in mind, that I'd like to help you, the mystified, befuddled rock fans of today, make some sense of what modern music journalists are banging on about. For instance, when Uncut's Louis Pattison writes of Kurt Vile's 'Smoke Ring For My Halo', "the real heart of this record seems to lie in the moments of stillness and rest, where strung-out slackerdom attains an almost sacred quality", what the layperson might not understand is that Mr. Pattison is really trying to say,"THIS IS THE GREATEST RECORD OF 2011 SO FAR AND IF YOU DISAGREE, I'M GOING TO HIT YOU WITH A SHOVEL".
Likewise, when Mojo's Stevie Chick might cause some casual readers to scratch their heads with his thoughts regarding 'Smoke Ring' ("while the melodies and vibe seem to be channeling lost AM radio transmissions from the '70's, Vile's no relic-treasuring throwback, finding a unique, laconic voice of his own amongst the tangle"), the Rock-Criticism-To-English-Translator ™ generates the following ; "it is a work of total genius, to only purchase one copy would be a crime against art, beauty and the human spirit."
Of course, our good friends from the British monthlies aren't the only ones prone to bouts of understatement, and that's why you're so very lucky I'm here to make sense of yet another Kurt Vile rave, this one coming from Pitchfork's Jayson Greene, who argues 'Smoke Ring For My Halo"'s "Ghost Town", "churns along in a similar weightless middle space as Wilco's 'I Am Trying To Break Your Heart' but instead of Jeff Tweedy's earnest napkin poetry Vile gives us muttered, inscrutable darts, a series of private jokes for an audience of one." What Mr. Greene wanted to testify was actually, "Kurt Vile's prose has molested my mind. And I was asking for it."
It's been my pleasure to walk you through the intellectual mine field that passes for record reviews, and who knows? The next time one of these analysts is beating around the bush, I'll not hesitate to assist, particularly if it can put the work of Kurt Vile in a deserved, wider context.

I want to give presentations that encourage people to ask questions. My audience usually says that everything is explained well and they don't have any questions but I would like for the presentations to become more interactive.
I've got a few questions for you to ask yourself to assess how to address this problem:
- Have you left them nothing to ask? If you're too exhaustive in covering your topic, your audience may have nothing left to say. In that case, think about focusing your talk on just one aspect of your topic--or one broad enough that you can't exhaust the topic, leaving room for questions.
- Have you asked them about their questions first? Opening with questions is a great, dynamic way to energize an audience (and it helps you learn what they want to know). This isn't foolproof, but with popular topics, can help you get the questions on the floor early.
- Are you inserting audience involvement throughout your presentation? You may need to think about incorporating a warm-up exercise that involves the audience; pause to ask questions during key moments of your presentation; and wind up with an ample Q-and-A session. Using all those steps in one talk gives your audience a strong signal that you want their involvement...and, over the course of your presentation, lets them warm up to those opportunities.
- Is your topic addressing what they want to know? Your speech may give me new and complete information, and fill in blanks for me. But if it doesn't make me curious, address my issues or questions or relate to me, I'm less likely to want to engage or know more from you. Again, thinking about your focus--an unusual angle or a special emphasis--can make all the difference.

power play at 9:37 of the second period.
Photo courtesy: Kevin Burns Photography
SCHENECTADY, N.Y. – Randi Griffin scored a power-play goal and goaltender Kylie Stephens recorded 13 saves to guide the fifth-ranked Harvard women's hockey team to a 2-1 victory over Union at Messa Rink Saturday afternoon. Kate Buesser also tallied a goal for the Crimson, which improves to 17-6-4 overall and 12-6-2 in ECAC Hockey games.
With the Crimson win, Katey Stone, the Landry Family Head Coach for Harvard Women's Ice Hockey, moves to within one victory of tying former Minnesota and Colby head coach Laura Halldorson for the all-time Division I coaching record of 337 wins.
The Crimson fired 13 of the first 18 shots on goal for the game, but could not get one past Union's Kate Gallagher until Buesser wristed a shot from the left circle at 3:05 of the second period. Buesser had fired a shot a moment later, but it was blocked. She collected the loose puck and fired for her 13th goal of the season, which leads the team.
Later in the second, Harvard extended its lead on a power-play goal by Griffin at 9:37. Kathryn Farni and Leanna Coskren earned assists, as Coskren took a slap shot from the right point and Griffin redirected the puck into the goal. The two-goal lead was short-lived as Union (5-26-1, 1-18-1) netted a power-play goal of its own, off the stick of Chelsey Heinhuis at12:48.
The Crimson held the final shot count, 36-14, firing 16 shots in the second period alone. Each team netted a power-play goal, while Harvard won 32 faceoffs, compared to 24 for Union.
Harvard will close out the regular season with key conference road games at St. Lawrence and Clarkson Feb. 19-20.

Already beaten by Samoa and Argentina this month, there are fears the Welsh could be on the end of a terrible hiding from the All Blacks, unbeaten in 19 Tests and undefeated against Wales since 1953.
"It is hugely important we make a statement," said Roberts, due to win his 47th cap this weekend.
"There is more pressure on us after losing two games of the series. We hope people will see the best of us this week.
"We were very disappointed after Friday night (against Samoa), and it was a tough weekend. We had quite a lot of people asking what is going wrong.
"Nobody is hurting more than the players. It is frustrating because of the high standards we have set ourselves over the last 12 months.
"We have sort of set a benchmark with what we have achieved and created an expectation of our performance. We have come under that significantly in the last two weeks, and it has been hugely frustrating."
Wales, last year's World Cup semi-finalists have now lost five successive Tests and in the one European country where rugby union is the national sport, the current side have found themselves under attack from distinguished former players as well as copping plenty of criticism on social media sites.
"We need to pull together and it is only the players who can turn this around. There is no magic wand. We just have to work hard," Roberts added.
"It is all very well for ex-players to come out and say what they think.
"I am sure looking back when they were players, these same guys would not feel best pleased with comments from former internationals.
"Twitter and Facebook is a public forum that many fans feel they can abuse players on. People hide behind their keyboards and it is different if they came up to you and said those same things to your face.
"But it is freedom of speech and people can say what they want on there. If people feel the need to abuse players on there, then so be it. I am old enough and strong enough not to take any of that to heart."
For Wales, Roberts has been in four losing sides against the All Blacks, with New Zealand scoring a total of 119 points and conceding just 40.
But the 26-year-old is relishing this weekend's challenge.
"To play against the best side in the world, and probably the best team ever to have played the game, is such a motivation," he said.
"The chance to take on the All Blacks is a magical and unique experience.
"And we have to play rugby against them. We can't afford to tighten up our game and be robotic in our approach.
"We need to match these guys physically and defend hard as a unit, but we also need to go out and play with flair and produce a brand of rugby which we know can play."

Calling the angels into your home With love and aloha, Susan Angels are everywhere just open your mind and your heart to the signs. Make Angels on Your Shoulder part of your daily routine and share it with a friend!
I received several emails from people about overcoming issues with insomnia and parents with addictions. He is the best ….
This is an excerpt from my book The Complete Encyclopedia of Angels:
Zerachiel is one of the seven archangels named in the Book of Enoch. He is an angel of healing who watches over human beings, especially those children whose parents have problems with addictions. Zerachiel understands children raised in such homes need extra love and support. He embraces them with his wings and whispers words of encouragement to them while they sleep. If you have problems with night terrors or falling asleep, Zerachiel will help you. He will also help you work with your dreams.
He has dominion over the earth and tenderly takes care of the environment and animals of all kinds. Call upon his healing power immediately if one of your pets fall ill. If your beloved pet gets lost, Zerachiel will help you find him.
Zerachiel helps with memory. He is a great angel to call on before you take an exam, need to remember a person's name or find an object, such as your keys.
When he is around you will probably see flashes of burgundy or deep purple. His robes are bordered in gold and he wears a golden belt. He is regal in bearing and has a soft, loving and kind face. When you call on him you will feel a gentle warmth spreading across your chest. Your hands and feet might tingle. Zerachiel may whisper to you in your dreams. You may even find yourself turning left when you meant to go right. Trust the process and know he is guiding you. If, for example, you get an urge for a cup of exotic coffee, go to your favorite coffee house and expect to find the answer to your problems there.
A simple request will immediately bring Zerachiel to your aid. He is a great listener so pour out your heart to him. His loving presence will guide you to the better times right around the corner.
Zerachiel will help you with:
Releasing addictions
Finding lost objects and pets
Gardening projects
Working with your dreams
Coming to terms with childhood traumas
Calling the angels into your home
With love and aloha,
Angels are everywhere just open your mind and your heart to the signs.
Make Angels on Your Shoulder part of your daily routine and share it with a friend!

Ignaz Semmelweis (1818-65)
Ignaz Semmelweis was a Hungarian physician whose work demonstrated that hand-washing could drastically reduce the number of women dying after childbirth. This work took place in the 1840s, while he was Director of the maternity clinic at the Vienna General Hospital in Austria.
We all now know how important it is to wash our hands. In hospitals, antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria are wiped out by the simple act of hand-washing. Wards are supplied with antiseptic hand gel which medical staff and visitors use before they see patients who are vulnerable to infection. The routine of 'scrubbing up' by surgeons before an operation is, of course, a well-established practice.
But this was not always the case. Until the late 1800s surgeons did not scrub up before surgery or even wash their hands between patients, causing infections to be transferred from one patient to another. Doctors and medical students routinely moved from dissecting corpses to examining new mothers without first washing their hands, causing death by puerperal or 'childbed' fever as a consequence. As dissection became more important to medical practice in the 1800s, this only increased.
Through vigorous statistical analysis, Semmelweis figured out where the problem lay and introduced rigorous hand-washing rules in the maternity ward. Deaths were drastically reduced and Semmelweis became known as the 'saviour of the mothers'.
Sadly, Semmelweiss was committed to an insane asylum when he started to exhibit what was possibly the early onset of Alzheimer's disease. While there he was beaten by the staff and died from his injuries.
