A little more about us.
Our very competitive prices are set at a fixed rate per thousand words (see Prices), and the price remains the same irrespective of the complexity of the work or the amount of corrections required.
We have helped many senior academics including professors and researchers by proofreading their written work before it was accepted for publication. Without proofreading, the work would not have been accepted. In many cases, customers have contacted us to proofread their work because it was rejected on the first submission due to too many errors of English spelling and grammar. In most of these cases, the document was accepted for publication after proofreading.
Our dedicated team of journal proofreaders will give you more confidence in the work that you submit with our journal proofreading services. The author instructions provided by academic and scientific journals must be followed with precision when preparing a scholarly article for publication or the paper may be rejected without serious consideration of its content; the same problem can arise if an article written in the English language contains too many grammar, spelling and punctuation errors. Our academic and scientific journal proofreaders can help you to ensure that this does not happen to your articles by resolving any problems with your language, adjusting your formatting and references to conform consistently to journal requirements and correcting simple typing errors.
Scientific manuscript proofreading services for researchers and scientists across all scientific fields, including medical, biological and physical sciences, are also offered by Proof-Reading-Service.com. Scientific writing must be accurate and informative, reporting complex methods and data clearly and consistently, but in most cases it also needs to follow specific formatting and stylistic guidelines (such as the author instructions of scholarly journals) with precision, and the best scientific writing is also engaging and searching, which it can only be if it is very well written. The professional scientific proofreading services from Proof-Reading-Service.com can help you to meet the rigorous demands of scientific writing and reduce the risk of rejection or failure by checking and correcting your grammar, spelling, punctuation, formatting and many other aspects of your documents.
Our professional PhD thesis and dissertation proofreading services can help you to eliminate this risk by carefully checking the accuracy and consistency of your writing and formatting, correcting errors where necessary and suggesting possible improvements. Years of planning, research, discussion, writing and editing (not to mention tuition) are invested in the PhD thesis or dissertation that is usually required to earn a doctoral degree at universities, yet a PhD student can risk failure after all that hard work if the university or department guidelines have not been followed or the thesis contains too many grammar, spelling and punctuation errors.
We also offer academic proofreading services and English language editing for LaTeX documents. It would help if you include any unusual style files that you used (e.g. journal, style, sty, tex or ps files). We are able to show what alterations our editor has made to a PDF document. This will highlight any changes to the text.
We cover all academic areas with a bank of proofreaders who have expertise in a wide range of academic disciplines. Proof-Reading-Service.com is very selective when hiring proofreaders. We do not employ faceless contract proofreaders; at Proof-Reading-Service.com we personally select our proofreaders, and each is highly respected in the proofreading field. All of our proofreaders are native English speakers, educated at least to Masters level (some hold a PhD) with extensive university teaching and examining experience.
Apart from demonstrating their qualifications and experience, all of our proofreaders have to pass a tough entry assessment. We also monitor the work of our proofreaders on a regular basis. The advantage of our academic proofreading services and over other proofreading services and individual proofreaders is that our proofreaders are fully approved and trusted. We guarantee an effective service and offer you 100% satisfaction. If you are unhappy with any aspect of our service we will refund your money or proofread your document again gratis.
The information provided to Proof-Reading-Service.com is held in absolute confidence and privacy. We guarantee never to give away your personal information, including your name, to any third party. Additionally, we go the extra mile to ensure that our IT equipment incorporates the latest security devices and software including encryption.

Documentation is now handled by the same processes we use for code: Add something to the Documentation/ directory in the coreboot repo, and it will be rendered to https://doc.coreboot.org/. Contributions welcome!
Lenovo X60, X60s, T60 and T60p flashing instructions.
These Lenovo laptops have a register that must be flipped before Coreboot can be flashed. Detailed instructions follow.
You will need: the flashrom source, a small patch [WHAT PATCH? --rah], and the bucts utility.
- Patch flashrom to use RES1 SPI identification and spi_chip_write1 for your flash chip, as well as change the flash chip model id to fit the RES1 command. [WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? HOW DO YOU DO THIS? --rah]
- Run
flashrom -p internal:laptop=force_I_want_a_brick -r factory.bin
- This step is IMPORTANT since the factory BIOS in your machine is tied to your particular system board "planar in IBM FRU terms" with a unique ID not present in factory BIOS updates.
- Run
dd if=coreboot.rom of=top64k.bin bs=1 skip=$[sizeof(coreboot.rom) - 0x10000] count=64k[sizeof() ISN'T A SHELL FUNCTION. WHAT ARE THE PROPER SHELL COMMAND(S) TO DO THIS STEP? --rah]
- Run
dd if=coreboot.rom bs=1 skip=$[sizeof(coreboot.rom) - 0x20000] count=64k | hexdump
- Verify that the complete range is filled with ff bytes before proceeding further. If this is not the case, the coreboot image needs to be recreated with the second-to-last 64kbyte block unused.
- Run
dd if=top64k.bin of=coreboot.rom bs=1 seek=$[sizeof(coreboot.rom) - 0x20000] count=64k conv=notrunc
- Run
bucts 1
- Run
flashrom -p internal:laptop=force_I_want_a_brick -w coreboot.rom
- This will be slow, and shall generate an erase error at e.g. 0x1f0000 when working with a 2 Mbyte flash chip.
- Power cycle the machine, now starting with coreboot
- Undo the flashrom patch, so that you have a stock flashrom
- Run
bucts 0
- Run
flashrom -p internal:laptop=force_I_want_a_brick -w coreboot.rom.
- This will successfully overwrite the entire flash chip, including the last 64k that were write protected with the factory BIOS.
These instructions were gleaned from the following mailing list threads: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.bios/69354 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.bios.flashrom/575

St Maarten in November
Working here in the Caribbean has its distinct benefits. In November about 10 colleagues and I headed off to a DeVry conference at the American University of the Caribbean - one of our sister medical schools. It was a chance to mingle with our colleagues across the sea (about 3 islands away), showcase our work and view theirs, and best of all, to visit the beautiful island of St Maarten (southern Dutch side) and St Martin (northern French side). It felt really great to be back in Europe for a weekend! And we also had an extremely important date with Ruth, our simulated donkey...Read More

With QB Coan out, No. 12 Irish beat No. 18 Badgers 41-13
Sep 25, 2021, 1:12 AM | Updated: 3:00 pm
(AP Photo/Charles Rex Arbogast)
CHICAGO (AP) — To win more games than any coach in the storied history of Notre Dame football, Brian Kelly has needed to be adaptable.
Maybe never more than the first month of this season. The Fighting Irish have used three quarterbacks and four left tackles, moved away from their run-first mentality and added new wrinkles on defense to head into October unbeaten.
Chris Tyree returned a kickoff 96 yards for a touchdown and Drew Pyne threw a fourth-quarter touchdown pass in relief of an injured Jack Coan, helping No. 12 Notre Dame pull away from No. 18 Wisconsin 41-13 on Saturday at Soldier Field.
The Fighting Irish (4-0) have shown plenty of vulnerabilities as they retooled a team that went to the College Football Playoff last season. But they keep winning.
"We got a long way to go still, but they're getting better each week," Kelly said. "I'm having fun coaching them. They're not perfect by any means, but they're going to be better in November."
With victory No. 106 in 12 seasons at Notre Dame, Kelly (106-39) surpassed the legendary Knute Rockne (105-12-5).
"Last year we were a veteran team. We hunkered down, we put three tight ends on the field. This is what we were and kind of lived with it," Kelly said. "This is, like, we're trying to figure it out as we go."
Graham Mertz threw four interceptions for Wisconsin (1-2), including two that were returned for touchdowns in the final 2:30 to blow the game open. Notre Dame scored the final 31 points and the Badgers lost their seventh straight to a ranked team.
Running back Chez Mellusi called the collapse "embarrassing."
Coan, a Wisconsin transfer, left with a left leg injury in the third quarter with the game tied at 10. Kelly said it was a soft tissue injury, but didn't appear to be a severe ankle sprain.
""Jack Coan is our starter," Kelly said. "If he's physically able, he'll be our starter against Cincinnati."
Notre Dame had used freshman Tyler Buchner as a mobile complement to Coan the last two games, but he was dealing with a sore hamstring. So it was Pyne's turn to step up.
Pyne lost a fumble on his second possession, leading to a field goal by the Badgers, but otherwise the redshirt freshman was solid, going 6 for 8 for 81 yards.
Coan played 22 games for Wisconsin over three seasons and was the starter for the 2019 team that reached the Big Ten championship game. He broke his foot in the runup to the abbreviated Big Ten season last year and Mertz claimed the starting job.
A highly rated 2019 recruit, Mertz had some ups and downs in 2020, but Coan could see where things were headed and transferred to Notre Dame.
He has been a solid fit playing behind a struggling offensive line. Coan completed 15 of 29 passes for 158 yards and a touchdown, and was sacked five times by his former team.
The blind-side sack of Pyne put Wisconsin at the Notre Dame 39. The Badgers stalled in the red zone, and Collin Larsh kicked a 27-yard field goal to put Wisconsin up 13-10 with 14:14 left in the fourth quarter.
The lead lasted 13 seconds. Tyree took the kickoff at the 4, found a seam to the left and turned on the speed. The sophomore outraced the Badgers for the touchdown that put the Irish up 17-13.
"I think that was the game-changing play," said Notre Dame cornerback Cam Hart, who had two interceptions.
Notre Dame got a strip sack by Jayson Ademilola on Wisconsin's next possession, and Isaiah Foskey recovered on the Badgers 46.
Pyne followed with four straight completions, including a 16-yard slant to Kevin Austin for a touchdown that made it 24-13 with 9:34 left.
Pyne celebrated his first career touchdown pass with a Conor McGregor-style strut and fist pump.
Notre Dame: Freshman Tosh Baker started at left tackle and struggled mightily, giving way at times to Joe Alt, another freshman. The Irish have allowed 20 sacks in four games. They allowed 25 in 12 games last season. The Irish ran for 3 yards.
Wisconsin: Mertz threw his first touchdown pass of the season, but was otherwise ineffective, going 18 for 41 for 240 yards. The sophomore isn't Wisconsin's only problem on offense, but he is most definitely one of them.
Coach Paul Chryst said he needs to call better plays to put his quarterback in position to succeed.
"We know that we're inconsistent, that it's a struggle and the best way to approach that is to own our part in it and then together we can try to fix it," Chryst said.
Notre Dame might squeeze into the top-10 depending on results in front of the Irish. Wisconsin is likely to fall out of the rankings for the first time this season.
Notre Dame: The Irish host No. 8 Cincinnati in a huge game for the Bearcats' playoff hopes.
Wisconsin: The Badgers return to Camp Randall to face No. 19 Michigan.

US Representative Stephen F. Lynch, who has consistently described himself as an antiabortion legislator, said Monday that he believes abortion is a constitutionally protected right and that as a US senator he would actively oppose antiabortion nominees to the Supreme Court.
While Lynch insisted his views have not shifted, his rhetoric is coming closer to that of his Democratic rival for the Senate nomination, Edward J. Markey, a congressman who has long supported legalized abortion. Lynch's new emphasis and arguments come just days after he entered the heated primary in which liberal voters who support abortion rights exert a large influence.
Advocates are quick to point out that while Lynch and Markey both declare their support for legalized abortion, their records on the issue are different. While Markey has sided with abortion rights activists 100 percent of the time since 1996 and was close to that mark in previous years, Lynch's record has varied dramatically from year to year.
Forces on both sides of the issue charge that Lynch is shifting his stance as he tries to expand beyond his socially conservative political base in South Boston to a liberal statewide primary.
"He's trying to have it both ways," said Megan Amundson, executive director of NARAL Pro-Choice Massachusetts, a group backing abortion rights.
Anne Fox, president of Massachusetts Citizens for Life, the state's leading antiabortion group, pointed out that when Lynch was representing South Boston in the state Senate, he had a 100 percent voting record from her group. When he ran for Congress in 2001, her group mailed out postcards urging voters to support him.
Now, Lynch is vowing to protect Roe v. Wade.
"Apparently, that's what they think they're supposed to do, politicians with their eyes on higher office, at least in Massachusetts," Fox said.
Lynch said he is frustrated that abortion has become a "bumper-sticker issue" in which elected officials are expected to state their beliefs on a brief label.
He said he believes abortion should be legal, but rare, and that he would block Supreme Court nominees who want to overturn Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 decision that legalized abortion.
"I have never seen the repeal of Roe v. Wade as a part of any solution," Lynch said in an interview. "I do not think that solves anything, and, as a matter of fact, it doesn't reduce abortions. It just changes it from a [clinical setting] to one that is more dangerous for women in crisis."
Last Thursday, on his first day on the campaign trail, Lynch said he would vote for nominees who oppose legalized abortion because he did not believe the issue should be a "litmus test." The congressman said Monday that he misheard the question from a Globe reporter.
Markey pointed to his long record of supporting abortion rights since he changed his position on the issue in 1983.
"Our records speak for themselves," he said Monday. "There's a clear historical difference, and I think voters will have to make up their mind based on the clear differences."
In the past, Lynch has called himself an antiabortion Democrat whose views are informed by his Roman Catholic faith. In the Legislature, where he served from 1995 until 2001, he led an effort to ban abortions after 24 weeks, and opposed attempts to create a "buffer zone" to keep protesters away from abortion clinics.
"Unlike some people, I'm not sure precisely when life begins, or whether a fetus is a legal person," Lynch told the Globe in 2001, when he was a state senator running for Congress. "But I believe strongly that this is at least the potential of human life and that it is the most special and precious gift and must be protected."
In the US House, his record on the issue has been mixed.
He has received ratings from NARAL Pro-Choice America, an abortion rights group, that vary from 0 percent in 2004 and 2006 to 100 percent in 2007 and 2011. Meanwhile, he has sided with the National Right to Life Committee, an antiabortion group, 38 percent of the time during his 12 years in the House, with his highest ratings coming earlier in his conrgessional career.
Antiabortion activists credit Lynch with for backing them on several key votes.
In 2003, he voted to ban the procedure that opponents call partial-birth abortion. In 2009, during debate on President Obama's health care overhaul, he supported the Stupak amendment, which sought to prohibit federal funding for abortion and federal subsidies for insurance plans that covered abortion. Last year, Lynch voted to ban sex-selective abortions.
But at times, Lynch has also angered antiabortion activists. Last year, he took to the House floor to denounce Republican efforts to cut off federal funding for Planned Parenthood. In that speech, he praised Planned Parenthood for providing cervical- and breast-cancer screening, and contraception that he said helps reduce the need for abortion.
"I don't have many friends in the Planned Parenthood community," Lynch told his colleagues. "They don't support me. I'm prolife. But I respect the good work that they do."
On Monday, Lynch said he still considers himself prolife because he continues to support a ban on partial-birth abortion. But he also supports Roe v. Wade, he said. "I do believe the Constitution should protect the right to privacy, absolutely. And that's just not in the reproductive rights area, but generally, as well."
Lynch on abortion rights through the years
"Just because I won't engage in political acrobatics and change my position doesn't mean that I'm not a Democrat." - July 25, 2001, defending opposition to legalized abortion in a radio debate with fellow Democratic candidates for Congress.
"I'm not sure . . . whether a fetus is a legal person. But I believe strongly that this is at least the potential of human life, and that it is the most special and precious gift, and must be protected." - September 9, 2001, Globe interview.
"I'm a prolife Democrat. . . . [But] I think we agreed at one point in this country that the best way to reduce abortion is to prevent unwanted pregnancies." - Feb. 17, 2011, House floor speech, opposing efforts to defund Planned Parenthood.
"I don't have many friends in the Planned Parenthood community. They don't support me. I'm prolife. But I respect the good work that they do." - Feb. 17, 2011, House floor speech, opposing efforts to defund Planned Parenthood.
"I don't oppose it. I accept, I guess." - Feb. 4, 2013, Globe interview, speaking of Roe v. Wade.

Say Goodbye to Guess Work — This High-Tech Dress Bares All When She's Turned On
"Is that a see-through dress, or are you just happy to see me?" Much like how clear heels tell us that a woman will most likely give us a lap dance, thanks to one Dutch fashion designer you may never again have to wonder if she's into you -- this new dress becomes transparent when the wearer's heart rate rises, making things rather...clear.
The "Intimacy 2.0" uses wireless technology, copper, electronic sensors and LEDs to turn the dress' special smart fabric clear when electrified by the quickening of the wearer's heartbeat.
"Intimacy 2.0 is a fashion project exploring the relation between intimacy and technology," said designer Daan Roosegaarde. "Technology is used here not merely functionally, but also as a tool to create intimacy as well as privacy on a direct, personal level which in our contemporary tech society is becoming increasingly important."
While we can't help but be curious what happened with "Intimacy 1.0," we anxiously await his new line of workout attire. Of course, getting turned on isn't the only time a woman's heart races, she might also be about to slap us. Actually, that seems more likely.
Regardless, check out the dress in action:

Remarks by the President at Signing of Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act
Ronald Reagan Building
THE PRESIDENT: Well, good morning, everyone.
AUDIENCE: Good morning.
THE PRESIDENT: We are gathered in the heart of our nation's capital, surrounded by memorials to leaders and citizens who served our nation in its earliest days and in its days of greatest trial. Today is such a time for America.
Over the past two years, we have faced the worst recession since the Great Depression. Eight million people lost their jobs. Tens of millions saw the value of their homes and retirement savings plummet. Countless businesses have been unable to get the loans they need and many have been forced to shut their doors. And although the economy is growing again, too many people are still feeling the pain of the downturn.
Now, while a number of factors led to such a severe recession, the primary cause was a breakdown in our financial system. It was a crisis born of a failure of responsibility from certain corners of Wall Street to the halls of power in Washington. For years, our financial sector was governed by antiquated and poorly enforced rules that allowed some to game the system and take risks that endangered the entire economy.
Unscrupulous lenders locked consumers into complex loans with hidden costs. Firms like AIG placed massive, risky bets with borrowed money. And while the rules left abuse and excess unchecked, they also left taxpayers on the hook if a big bank or financial institution ever failed.
Now, even before the crisis hit, I went to Wall Street and I called for common-sense reforms to protect consumers and our economy as a whole. And soon after taking office, I proposed a set of reforms to empower consumers and investors, to bring the shadowy deals that caused this crisis into the light of day, and to put a stop to taxpayer bailouts once and for all. (Applause.) Today, thanks to a lot of people in this room, those reforms will become the law of the land.
For the last year, Chairmen Barney Frank and Chris Dodd have worked day and night -- (applause) -- Barney and Chris have worked day and night to bring about this reform. And I am profoundly grateful to them. I would be remiss if I didn't also express my appreciation to Senator Harry Reid and Speaker Nancy Pelosi for their leadership. It wouldn't have happened without them. (Applause.)
Passing this bill was no easy task. To get there, we had to overcome the furious lobbying of an array of powerful interest groups and a partisan minority determined to block change. So the members who are here today, both on the stage and in the audience, they have done a great service in devoting so much time and expertise to this effort, to looking out for the public interests and not the special interests. (Applause.) And I also want to thank the three Republican senators who put partisanship aside -- (applause) -- judged this bill on the merits, and voted for reform. We're grateful to them. (Applause.) And the Republican House members. (Applause.) Good to see you, Joe. (Applause.)
Now, let's put this in perspective. The fact is, the financial industry is central to our nation's ability to grow, to prosper, to compete and to innovate. There are a lot of banks that understand and fulfill this vital role, and there are a whole lot of bankers who want to do right -- and do right -- by their customers. This reform will help foster innovation, not hamper it. It is designed to make sure that everybody follows the same set of rules, so that firms compete on price and quality, not on tricks and not on traps.
It demands accountability and responsibility from everyone. It provides certainty to everybody, from bankers to farmers to business owners to consumers. And unless your business model depends on cutting corners or bilking your customers, you've got nothing to fear from reform. (Applause.)
Now, for all those Americans who are wondering what Wall Street reform means for you, here's what you can expect. If you've ever applied for a credit card, a student loan, or a mortgage, you know the feeling of signing your name to pages of barely understandable fine print. What often happens as a result is that many Americans are caught by hidden fees and penalties, or saddled with loans they can't afford.
That's what happened to Robin Fox, hit with a massive rate increase on her credit card balance even though she paid her bills on time. That's what happened to Andrew Giordano, who discovered hundreds of dollars in overdraft fees on his bank statement –- fees he had no idea he might face. Both are here today. Well, with this law, unfair rate hikes, like the one that hit Robin, will end for good. (Applause.) And we'll ensure that people like Andrew aren't unwittingly caught by overdraft fees when they sign up for a checking account. (Applause.)
With this law, we'll crack down on abusive practices in the mortgage industry. We'll make sure that contracts are simpler -– putting an end to many hidden penalties and fees in complex mortgages -– so folks know what they're signing.
With this law, students who take out college loans will be provided clear and concise information about their obligations.
And with this law, ordinary investors -– like seniors and folks saving for retirement –- will be able to receive more information about the costs and risks of mutual funds and other investment products, so that they can make better financial decisions as to what will work for them.
So, all told, these reforms represent the strongest consumer financial protections in history. (Applause.) In history. And these protections will be enforced by a new consumer watchdog with just one job: looking out for people -– not big banks, not lenders, not investment houses -– looking out for people as they interact with the financial system.
And that's not just good for consumers; that's good for the economy. Because reform will put a stop to a lot of the bad loans that fueled a debt-based bubble. And it will mean all companies will have to seek customers by offering better products, instead of more deceptive ones.
Now, beyond the consumer protections I've outlined, reform will also rein in the abuse and excess that nearly brought down our financial system. It will finally bring transparency to the kinds of complex and risky transactions that helped trigger the financial crisis. Shareholders will also have a greater say on the pay of CEOs and other executives, so they can reward success instead of failure.
And finally, because of this law, the American people will never again be asked to foot the bill for Wall Street's mistakes. (Applause.) There will be no more tax-funded bailouts -- period. (Applause.) If a large financial institution should ever fail, this reform gives us the ability to wind it down without endangering the broader economy. And there will be new rules to make clear that no firm is somehow protected because it is "too big to fail," so we don't have another AIG.
That's what this reform will mean. Now, it doesn't mean our work is over. For these new rules to be effective, regulators will have to be vigilant. We may need to make adjustments along the way as our financial system adapts to these new changes and changes around the globe. No law can force anybody to be responsible; it's still incumbent on those on Wall Street to heed the lessons of this crisis in terms of how they conduct their businesses.
The fact is every American -– from Main Street to Wall Street –- has a stake in our financial system. Wall Street banks and firms invest the capital that makes it possible for start-ups to sell new products. They provide loans to businesses to expand and to hire. They back mortgages for families purchasing a new home. That's why we'll all stand to gain from these reforms. We all win when investors around the world have confidence in our markets. We all win when shareholders have more power and more information. We all win when consumers are protected against abuse. And we all win when folks are rewarded based on how well they perform, not how well they evade accountability.
In the end, our financial system only works –- our market is only free –- when there are clear rules and basic safeguards that prevent abuse, that check excess, that ensure that it is more profitable to play by the rules than to game the system. And that's what these reforms are designed to achieve -- no more, no less. Because that's how we will ensure that our economy works for consumers, that it works for investors, that it works for financial institutions -– that it works for all of us.
This is the central lesson not only of this crisis but of our history. Ultimately, there's no dividing line between Main Street and Wall Street. We rise or fall together as one nation. So these reforms will help lift our economy and lead all of us to a stronger, more prosperous future.
And that's why I'm so honored to sign these reforms into law, and I'm so grateful to everybody who worked so hard to make this day possible. Thank you very much, everybody. (Applause.)
(The bill is signed.) (Applause.)

The first time you install and use an Office program, you are asked for your user name and initials in a dialog box that looks similar to this:
Your name and initials will be associated with any Office document that you create and will appear in places like comments, revisions, and general document properties. You can enter anything you like, but it's a good idea to consider who you might be sharing documents with, or reviewing documents for, when choosing a user name. Most people simply use their first and last name.
If you are seeing the User Name dialog box every time you open an Office program, see Prevent a program from asking for user name and initials.
Change your user name and initials
If you are creating Office documents that will be shared with others, appropriate attribution and correct author information can be important. You can change your user name and initials at any time.
Important: Changing your name or initials in one Office program will change your name and initials in all of the other Office programs installed on your computer.
Click File > Options.
In the Options dialog box, change your user name and initials in the Personalize your copy of Microsoft Office section.
Note: Excel 2010 uses only a user name, not initials.

In OneNote, click the Tools menu, and then click Options.
In Project and Visio, click the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the General tab.
In the dialog box, change your user name and initials in the User Name and Initials boxes. The dialog box that you see may appear different from the example below, depending on the Office program you're using.
Note: Excel 2007 uses only a user name, not initials.
Prevent a program from asking for user name and initials
You should see the User Name dialog box only once—the first time you open a newly installed Office program. However, if you see this dialog box every time you open a program, you may be able to stop this from happening by changing permissions in the registry.
Warning: This procedure contains steps that tell you how to modify your computer's registry. Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Make sure to follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

1. Scientific American has some interesting thoughts on How Your Language Affects Your Wealth and Health
... Different languages have different ways of talking about the future. Some languages, such as English, Korean, and Russian, require their speakers to refer to the future explicitly. Every time English-speakers talk about the future, they have to use future markers such as "will" or "going to." In other languages, such as Mandarin, Japanese, and German, future markers are not obligatory. The future is often talked about similar to the way present is talked about and the meaning is understood from the context. A Mandarin speaker who is going to go to a seminar might say "Wo qu ting jiangzuo," which translates to "I go listen seminar." Languages such as English constantly remind their speakers that future events are distant. For speakers of languages such as Mandarin future feels closer. As a consequence, resisting immediate impulses and investing for the future is easier for Mandarin speakers. ...
2. Fair Trade 2.0? Coffee's Economics, Rewritten by Farmers
3. R. J. Moeller qutoes from John Mackey's (Whole Foods CEO) new book:
"Capitalism has a purpose beyond just making money. I think the critics of capitalism have got it in this very small box. That it's all about money. It's based in being greedy, selfish and exploitative. And yet, I haven't found it to be that way. Most of the hundreds of entrepreneurs I know and have met did not start their business primarily out of a desire to make money. Not that there's anything wrong with making money. My body cannot function unless it produces red-blood cells. No red-blood cells and I'm a dead man. But that's not the purpose of my life.
Similarly, a business cannot exist unless it produces a profit . . . but that's not the only reason it exists."
4. David Henderson with thoughts on the economic impact of marriage: "Get Married and Stay Married"
When I was writing a review of Dwight Lee's and Richard McKenzie's excellent book, Getting Rich in America: 8 Simple Rules for Building a Fortune and a Satisfying Life, I called Dwight to ask a question and we got talking about Rule #5: Get Married and Stay Married. Dwight pointed out that if you follow the other 7 rules but don't get married or stay married, you have a substantial probability of building a fortune and a satisfying life. But, he said, if you don't get married and stay married, you tend not to follow at least some of the other 7 rules.
5. With more thoughts on the economic impact of marriage, Glen Reynolds reflects on The other marriage inequality
While the upscale college-educated crowd continues to marry at very high rates, marriage rates are plummeting among those further down on the socioeconomic ladder.
6. Steven Pearlstein with a thoughtful essay: Is capitalism moral?
... A useful debate about the morality of capitalism must get beyond libertarian nostrums that greed is good, what's mine is mine and whatever the market produces is fair. It should also acknowledge that there is no moral imperative to redistribute income and opportunity until everyone has secured a berth in a middle class free from economic worries. If our moral obligation is to provide everyone with a reasonable shot at economic success within a market system that, by its nature, thrives on unequal outcomes, then we ought to ask not just whether government is doing too much or too little, but whether it is doing the right things.
7. Matt Ridley with an interesting piece on how Obsidian chronicles ancient trade. This conclusion was interesting.
Instead, Dr. Butzer argues that Sargon's conquest itself caused the collapse of trade by destroying cities and disrupting what had till then been "an inter-networked world-economy, once extending from the Aegean to the Indus Valley." In other words, as with the end of the Roman empire, the collapse of trade caused the collapse of civilization more than the other way around.
8. Speaking of economic History, Rewriting Biblical history? Agriculture might be 5,000 years older than believed.
A new find suggests farmers in Bible lands built channels for irrigation long before historians thought they did, allowing for cultivated vineyards, olives, wheat and barley.
9. Americans Just Keep Driving Less And Less
10. The New York Times on New Reasons to Change Light Bulbs. (To LEDs)
11. Science 2.0 on A Biological Basis For Gender Differences In Math?
... "Educational systems could be improved by acknowledging that, in general, boys and girls are different," said University of Missouri biologist David Geary in their statement. "For example, in trying to close the sex gap in math scores, the reading gap was left behind. Now, our study has found that the difference between girls' and boys' reading scores was three times larger than the sex difference in math scores. Girls' higher scores in reading could lead to advantages in admissions to certain university programs, such as marketing, journalism or literature, and subsequently careers in those fields. Boys lower reading scores could correlate to problems in any career, since reading is essential in most jobs."
Generally, when conditions are good, the math gap increases and the reading gap decreases and when conditions are bad the math gap decreases and the reading gap increases. This pattern remained consistent within nations as well as among them, according to the work by Geary and Gijsbert Stoet of the University of Leeds that included testing performance data from 1.5 million 15-year-olds in 75 nations. ...
12. Malcolm Gladwell was half right. Professor Jonah Berger on his new book, Contagious: Why Things Catch On.
13. Scientific Explanations for Why Spoilers Are So Horrible
14. Mashable has great advice with 5 Alternatives to Unfriending Someone on Facebook
15. David Brooks with insight on How Movements Recover
... Two rival reform movements arose to restore the integrity of Catholicism. Those in the first movement, the Donatists, believed the church needed to purify itself and return to its core identity. ...
... In the fourth century, another revival movement arose, embraced by Augustine, who was Bishop of Hippo. The problem with the Donatists, Augustine argued, is that they are too static. They try to seal off an ark to ride out the storm, but they end up sealing themselves in. They cut themselves off from new circumstances and growth.
Augustine, as his magisterial biographer Peter Brown puts it, "was deeply preoccupied by the idea of the basic unity of the human race." He reacted against any effort to divide people between those within the church and those permanently outside. ....
16. A great piece by someone who considers them unaffiliated with any religion. Every Christian and congregation needs to reflect on the insignificance of the church in this writer's life. His tribe is growing: The significant insignificance of religion

Welcome to the Beautiful South Carolina Lowcountry Region!
The South Carolina Lowcountry Region offers so much to see and do, from a variety of recreational pursuits (fishing, sailing, hunting, bird watching, paddling, surfing, golf, and tennis, to name a few) to seeing the sites (lighthouses, historic buildings, museums, art galleries, concerts, movie locations, the Penn Center Historic District, etc.).
One way to "take-in" the Lowcountry is by going on a tour (a horse-drawn carriage, bus, boat or kayak, we even have some great walking tours). Shopping here can include one-of-a-kind treasures from the South Carolina Artisans Center, to clever, little, eclectic shops, to mega, bargain hunting at factory outlets.
We have a festival to celebrate nearly everything: the endangered Gopher Tortoise, watermelons, catfish, rice, harbors and water, shrimp, chilli and wine, and even more. Lowcountry dining can be an art practiced by gourmet chefs, or a quick bite on an old back porch. Overlook the water or one of dozens of beautiful golf courses while samplings some of the finest seafood on the east coast.
We invite you and your loved ones to enjoy the many cultural, historical and recreational opportunities in this unique part of South Carolina. We have all the wonderful things that make the Lowcountry a great place to visit or call home.
Our accommodations range from a reasonably-priced rest from the busy highway, to the finest four-star resorts, bed & breakfasts, inns, or beach-front cottages. We also have great campgrounds at our terrific State Parks, right off I-95 at Point South and Walterboro and in other areas like St Helena, Bluffton and Hilton Head Island.

Things To Do In The Lowcountry
A Taste of Lowcountry ~ Food Festivals
By Lynn & Cele Seldon
Quite simply, we love Lowcountry food festivals like a blue crab loves a chicken neck. All our Lowcountry friends seem to enjoy local fare as much as we do. And all of us jump at any chance to celebrate the region's food.
From devouring creative shrimp dishes to shucking oysters or simply enjoying fresh ingredients from the land and sea, we never turn down the chance to take a big bite out of a festival focusing on food.
Unplugging in the Lowcountry – Where kids & kids at heart go to unplug & unwind
By Lynn Seldon
Whenever my wife, Cele, and I think of the perfect place for entire families—from grandchildren to grandparents—to unplug and unwind, we think of the Lowcountry.
We've spent many visits walking hand in hand along the sandy beaches listening to the ocean waves lap along the shore. We've also enjoyed introducing our nieces and nephews and their children to the Lowcountry. Whether it's combing the beach for shells, climbing lighthouses, or teaching them about the unique flora and fauna, we love seeing the Lowcountry through their eyes. When we're here, the quiet and simple character of the place makes it easy for us to unwind from the modern stressors of everyday life and focus on the family members and friends who join us. The Lowcountry is a very special place, where connecting with friends and family over a long weekend quickly becomes much more important than connecting to the Internet.
Sights to See in South Carolina Lowcountry
The Lowcountry & Resort Islands Region of South Carolina includes the four, southern-most counties in the state, Beaufort, Jasper, Hampton, and Colleton, which are bordered on the east by the Atlantic Ocean and on the west by the Savannah River and the state of Georgia.
The Region begins on the northern end with the quiet, family, beach Town of Edisto Beach. Traveling south along the coast brings you to historic Beaufort, Port Royal, Parris Island and Bluffton, and then to internationally-famous, Hilton Head Island.
Festivals & Events
The South is known for celebrating everything. Here in the Lowcountry, we create festivals for foods, history, heritage, culture, arts, animals, seasons, wine and water. Our are events run the gamut from art, to music, to film, to photography, to athletic events, to educational opportunities, to cook offs, to book signings and virtually everything in between.

Judging from the tech press, you'd think the biggest risk to successful companies is competition. But when you examine the history of technology, incumbents usually decline because the world changes and they lose relevance, or because they lose visionary founders and the organization decays. Some examples:
- Dell thrived when PCs dominated the computer market and Dell was the low cost provider of commodity hardware products. The shift to mobile and tablet computing meant that hardware quality (not price) was once again the primary basis of competition. As a result, Dell's laser-like focus on cost reduction became a liability.
- The New York Times was, for many decades, one of the few premium channels through which brand and classified advertisers could reach mass consumers. Thus car companies and real estate brokers subsidized foreign reporting and investigative business journalism. The internet provided a vast alternative channel, and the Times became far less relevant. At the same time, the internet provided many new sources for breaking news, editorials etc, hurting the Times on the subscriber side.
- Yahoo didn't lose because Google out-competed them on search. They lost because they didn't really care about search – indeed, they outsourced algorithmic search to Alta Vista, Inktomi and then Google itself. The leading portals back in circa 2000 (Yahoo, Excite, Lycos etc) desperately wanted to keep keep users on their site – the buzzword was "stickiness" – but Google knew better and focused on getting users off of Google to other places on the web. Yahoo became just another place to read celebrity gossip and use generic web services.
- Netflix thrived when they could simply ignore the movie companies and rely on the first-sale doctrine to get DVDs. The market shift to streaming video created a new and brutal dependency. They had to go make deals with content companies. Now they are even trying to create their own content to lessen this dependency. They have a brilliant and visionary management team but this is a tough transition to make.
- Sony relied on its Steve-Jobs-like founder, Akio Morita, to repeatedly develop incredibly innovative products (among them: the first transistor radio, the first transistor television, the Walkman, the first video cassette recorder, the compact disc) that seemed to come out of nowhere and create massive new markets. Since he left, the company has floundered and the stock has fallen dramatically.
- Google's biggest risk isn't a direct competitor. Startups and incumbents who've tried to create better search engines have barely cut into Google's market share. Google's primary risk – and they seem to know this – is that they are no longer relevant when people find content through social sites, and where an ever increasing portion of the web is uncrawlable.
Google released their "Dropbox-killer" a few days ago. I don't know if Dropbox has yet achieved incumbent status, but they certainly seem to be the market leader. They also seem to have a very competent management team. So if history is a guide, Dropbox's biggest risk isn't a competitor but irrelevance – if, for example, files become less and less important in a web services world and Dropbox doesn't adapt accordingly.

Life, Spiritual and Career Coach Reviews for Laura Svolos
"If you want to make a difference in your life, give Laura the opportunity. I have been in business for 27 years and have had several coaches for different areas of my life and continue to have coaches. The one I think has the greatest potential for changing my future the most is my spiritual coach Laura. She keeps me grounded and at the same time opens the doors for opportunity into my potential that I have never seen."
Fred Anderson, President, Anderson Landscape Construction, Inc
"I'd like to take a moment to express my gratitude and appreciation for Laura, who has been a wonderful source of wisdom, support, and guidance. Laura has an innate ability to understand people and situations at their deepest level. My time with her helped me achieve great growth, both spiritually and professionally. She's given me the gift of self-awareness and of a higher consciousness. For this, I am eternally grateful and recommend her with the utmost affection and regard."
Carolina Oliva, Entrepreneur
"I came to Laura at a cross-section in my life. My goal was to explore the possibilities of what life offered. Uncertain of how to proceed, I turned to Laura for guidance. Quite simply, since our first meeting, life has never really been the same. I owe a great deal of gratitude to Laura for her patience, compassion, and willingness to care for me. Her coaching has had a direct impact on how I live my life – and, the quality of my well-being. I'm blessed to know her.
With gratitude"
Matt Tashjian, Senior Vice President, Investments, Merrill Lynch
"Dear Laura,
We began our work together about 10 months ago, and I wanted to thank you for the lovely blend of wisdom, sensitivity, and order you brought to my life. I was on a multi-year skid. Despite a long history of delivering award-winning work on time and on budget, my sales efforts were being rebuffed at the entry level of TV networks and cable operators. My career, and my spirit were in a rut. All motion, no progress. Frustrated. Angry. Disappointed.
I needed help. Artists have mentors, musicians have master classes, athletes have trainers, but it seemed that business people were always in competition with one another. Then, I discovered coaching, and the opportunity to engage a smart, experienced person who had only my success as their goal. In you, I found a balanced approach to the blend of practical and spiritual components that needed restoration. An excellent fusion of The Greek, The Buddha, The Christ & an MBA – all put into an understandable, western vernacular….My concerns have shifted from why can't I get work?" to how am I going to manage all of the work that's coming in?"
Thank you Laura. You helped me first regain the fun and beauty of living a rich, interesting life. You are a smart friend and good council."
Brett Darken, President, North Star Films
"A little over a year ago I was in a state of befuddlement. I was in a dead end job and didn't know what I wanted to do. I found Laura on the internet, and shortly after our four telephone sessions, my world was turned upside down by changes that led to me happily starting my own interior design business. Today, despite the economy, and with the continual aid of spiritual exercises that Laura taught me, I have enough work to keep me busy, and also have time to pursue my side business as an artist. Laura helped open the spiritual and creative channels that led me to definitively knowing what I want, and how to pursue that. Having Laura as a coach was instrumental in my present success, and working with her was a delight! I would highly recommend her to anyone who would is in need of holistic guidance."
Janis Luedke, Interior Designer
"Laura has been incredible to work with. In just a short time, my life has begun to change in so many areas…career, relationships, creativity, goals, recreation, etc. I've learned more about myself in the past 3 months than I did in the previous 10 years. I highly recommend her to everyone."- Cris, comedian/actor, Georgia.
"Laura, you Coach and 'train' in a really fine balance. I got much more throughout our work together than I had expected! You were a kind of 'voice of inspired reason' for me. Your feedback was exceptional and I 'grabbed' hold of every bit of it as if they were gems coming through the phone line. You are fearless in your coaching.
Seeing our twelve sessions in overview, I feel more solid inside, I feel enriched. I feel the better for having had you as my coach. I have clearer direction and more willingness and joy in going those directions. Actually, in relation to your coaching Laura, I have clearly experienced real accelerated change.
Absolutely excellent coaching!"
Diane Penketh, Life Coach, New Zealand
"When I called Laura for an initial consultation – I was miserable and working in an office job that I hated , in an industry I hated and had become depressed, angry and frustrated . I had no idea what to do, how to get out of the situation I was in and how to move forward towards my dream of working overseas in the entertainment industry.
Though my dream seemed far fetched and a million miles away, I committed to work with Laura for 6 months. During that time she helped me step outside of my comfort zone, find my core values, set goals according to those and focus on the end result.
7 months later I was working overseas and had my own television show which made international headlines. It was a complete shock for me to achieve such a huge goal so quickly. Working with Laura has taught me that anything I can envision and dream – I can accomplish. The tools that she has given to me and her guidance have proved to be invaluable to reaching and achieving my goals.
I am currently working with her to set and achieve my next set of goals and have no doubt that I will achieve anything I set out to do with her guidance."
– C. Callahan
"Laura is a very loving and intuitively brilliant personality. With her guidance we were able to accomplish everything that needed to be accomplished, exceeding my expectations. She has an intuitive flexibility and an undeniable intelligence. Laura is also a very warm person. Even though we have never met before, I felt I was speaking to a close friend whom I have known for a long time. In truth my greatest highlight of the week was making that call to Laura. I am very grateful for her insight. I have come a long way on my journey and I have come to a better place that I have never known before."
Sargent John R. Singer
"I work in a high-pressure political environment and constantly felt overwhelmed and dissatisfied, but at the same time there was no other career I wanted more. That was a constant struggle that left me depressed and angry. What Laura helped me do was change my attitude instead of my job. With her assistance, I was finally able to revise my expectations of what my job was supposed to be in my life. As a result of this dramatic shift, I am happier and more successful at work than I have been in my 20-year career. I honestly never thought I could be this content at work – I will be forever grateful to Laura for her skillful guidance and insights."
Ashley, Public Affairs Vice President
"Laura has a unique combination of intellect and intuition. Combined with her natural empathy and extensive spiritual training, she has discerned things happening in my life that I was unable to recognize myself, and offer practical solutions that were immediately helpful."
Kurt Feuer, Attorney
"Laura's insights and coaching have been extraordinarily helpful to me…. Her guidance, particularly as it relates to complicated business relationships, has been instrumental in helping me recognize which relationships are worth developing and which need to be terminated. If you want help staying on – or getting on course – Laura Svolos is the person to help you do it. "
Rob Sullivan, Author, Getting Your Foot in the Door When You Don't Have a Leg to Stand On (McGraw-Hill).
"Working with Laura was always the highlight of my week. She takes a very holistic and practical approach to her coaching. She was terrific at helping me identify areas that needed improvement including physical, emotional, spiritual, professional and personal. She would outline specific action steps to address each of those areas and if something wasn't working for me, she was able to offer alternatives until we found the right solution for me. She always had other resources to recommend that supplemented the work we did together. She is very intuitive, and I learned so much from her wisdom. "
Nancy, Human Resources Executive
"Laura is perceptive, knowledgeable and easy to talk to. She identifies problems quickly and leads you to your own answers with skill and compassion. Laura's integrity and intuition is outstanding. I highly recommend her."
Donna B., Occupational Therapist
"Coaching exceeded my expectations—I never dreamed I would find a spiritual mentor in this process. I feel calmer (less desperate, less frantic) about the ups and downs of my energy and motivation—more accepting of the divine aspects of my limits. I am less frightened than I was before coaching. Laura is wonderful!!! I miss her!"
Dr. Rebecca Burns-Hoffman
"I liked the balance of practical, real world" advice with the esoteric assignments like mantras and affirmations. I was always disappointed to get off the phone, because I loved hearing Laura's confidence and knowingness. I hope to work with her again."
Chad Nielson, Marketing Executive
"When I contacted Laura, I hoped to find someone who would help me get organized and hold me accountable for some changes until I became more disciplined. I achieved the discipline but in an unexpected way. Laura taught me how to love and accept myself and all the other things became very easy. I have accomplished so many things with Laura's teachings, I went from never working out to working out 4 times a week in yoga classes and with a personal trainer. I have reached my financial goals by sorting through the chaos and taking charge of my finances, and my spiritual life is on fire right now because Laura taught me invaluable lessons about awareness! I feel empowered in a way I never knew was possible. I have also been experiencing a joy in ways I never knew was possible. I plan to work with Laura again in the near future! "
Maryann, Atlanta, GA
"Laura is fantastic. She cuts to the root of what is holding you back but in a very gentle, spiritual, and yet scientifically rational way."
David Angel Rodriguez, photographer, screenwriter.
"Having a coach has been a blessing in my life. Before I decided to get a coach I felt like I was lost and trying to find a sense of direction in my life. Laura has helped me to identify what I really want to do in my life and has helped me to begin to take the steps to get there. I still have a long way to go, but, now I feel that I have goals and I am moving in the right direction. I am so thankful that I found Laura who has given me hope and encouragement since the first time we spoke with each other. For this I will be eternally grateful."
Debbie, Rhode Island
"Hi Laura!
How are you? I hope everything else is well with you… I was just writing to give you an update. I made the move to DC a few weeks ago… Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you again for all you helped to open me up to. By understanding how energy works in my life, I feel so empowered to create the life I've always wanted…and that's exactly what I'm doing! I'm amazed by it everyday…
So, again Laura, thank you, thank you, thank you. I know I wouldn't be in this place in my life right now if I hadn't done the work I did with you. I wish you all of the best and many blessings."

Maybe you've heard about the Pixar Theory that got a lot of play last week (and this week, too). It's a comprehensive timeline and interlocking story that weaves together every Pixar movie into one coherent whole. It was developed by Jon Negroni, and possibly an anthropomorphic desk lamp that only talks to Jon.
It's an impressive theory, and there's certainly interesting evidence cited to back it up. It starts with Brave and works through all the movies to the future distopia depicted in WALL-E. It's fun to think about, but we, as humans, deserve to know if it's true.
To find out, I cornered Pixar's Jay Ward, the Franchise Guardian of Cars (I think he has a ceremonial sword that has that inscribed) and asked him, pointblank, if the theory is true.
I think you'll find the results enlightening. Pixar's PR folks weren't keen on us using the video I shot, so here's a transcript. Note that, in the video, he's having a good laugh about it.
JT: have you heard about this unified Pixar Movie Theory?
JW: Yes.
JT: What do you think about it?
JW: I think somebody had a lot of time on their hands. They may have had some other recreational activities...
JT: So would you go as far as to deny that there's a common thread —
JW: It's almost like the 9/11 conspiracy theories... it's like, really? No, the movies were sort of made in a different order by different directors in different times, in different places. It's cool that it all worked out that way, but it probably was not intentional.
JT: You realize everyone is going to just take this as proof.
JW: Yeah!
JT: The fact you're denying it just means that the little girl from Monsters, Inc. is the witch causing all these things —
JW: It was all thought out in the beginning. It was all Steve Jobs' master plan. It's all about selling the iPhone 6.

Flowers need water and light to grow. Even children learn that plants use sunlight to gather energy from earth and water. Members of Professor Dr. Olaf Kruse's biological research team at Bielefeld University have made a groundbreaking discovery that one plant has another way of doing this. They have confirmed for the first time that a plant, the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, not only engages in photosynthesis, but also has an alternative source of energy: it can draw it from other plants. This finding could also have a major impact on the future of bioenergy.
The research findings have been released on November 20 in the online journal Nature Communications.
Until now, it was believed that only worms, bacteria, and fungi could digest vegetable cellulose and use it as a source of carbon for their growth and survival. Plants, in contrast, engage in the photosynthesis of carbon dioxide, water, and light. In a series of experiments, Professor Dr. Olaf Kruse and his team cultivated the microscopically small green alga species Chlamydomonas reinhardtii in a low carbon dioxide environment and observed that when faced with such a shortage, these single-cell plants can draw energy from neighbouring vegetable cellulose instead.
The alga secretes enzymes (so-called cellulose enzymes) that 'digest' the cellulose, breaking it down into smaller sugar components. These are then transported into the cells and transformed into a source of energy: the alga can continue to grow.
'This is the first time that such a behaviour has been confirmed in a vegetable organism', says Professor Kruse. 'That algae can digest cellulose contradicts every previous textbook. To a certain extent, what we are seeing is plants eating plants'. Currently, the scientists are studying whether this mechanism can also be found in other types of alga. Preliminary findings indicate that this is the case.
In the future, this 'new' property of algae could also be of interest for bioenergy production. Breaking down vegetable cellulose biologically is one of the most important tasks in this field. Although vast quantities of waste containing cellulose are available from, for example, field crops, it cannot be transformed into biofuels in this form. Cellulose enzymes first have to break down the material and process it. At present, the necessary cellulose enzymes are extracted from fungi that, in turn, require organic material in order to grow. If, in future, cellulose enzymes can be obtained from algae, there would be no more need for the organic material to feed the fungi. Then even when it is confirmed that algae can use alternative nutrients, water and light suffice for them to grow in normal conditions.

Here's a public service announcement from the fine folks at Malibu Boats. How do you live your #LifeWithoutLimits?Malibu Boats 2014 "Life Without Limits" from Malibu Boats on Vimeo.
From Malibu: "We all get caught up in the hustle and grind of busy weeks with overwhelming schedules. Here's a reminder to make your time on the water a priority this year and live your #LifeWithoutLimits. All of our tools and innovations allow you to disconnect, live in the moment and truly enjoy your boat." Malibu Team Riders: Chad Sharpe, Phil Soven, Amber Wing, Will Asher, Oli Derome and more give us a glimpse into what life is like when you have a Malibu boat.
Malibu has continued a tradition of product innovation for 2014 with the introduction of the brand new LSV 23. The original running surface has not changed but the cabin space has been enhanced to provide a more comfortable time on the water. With the new WakeView lifting seat back, and massively deep storage, this boat has a truly new look and feel.
The industry has raved about the stock wake performance of the 23 LSV due to innovations like the Hi Flo Plug and Play Ballast System, Power Wedge and of course the SURF GATE wakesurf wave enhancement device. The newest version of Malibu's SURF GATE has been upgraded for faster wave to wave surf transfers. Don't worry about not being notified of when the driver changes the wave. Malibu has added a audible horn on the transom and you can also order visual indicator light for the tower.
*Don't want a stock surf wave? Here's our 2013-2014 Malibu/Axis HI FLO Plug N Play Ballast Kit so you can maximize your surf wake.
We couldn't agree more with the Malibu mantra. Take the time this Spring and Summer to get out on the Lake or River with your friends and family! Time on a boat is always time well spent.

Moneyball Government, Again
Will the feds ever use hard evidence to make budget decisions?
The Moneyball movement in government is gaining steam again. It started with the release of the film version of the Michael Lewis book in 2011, bringing to dramatic life the story of the Oakland A's' Billy Beane, and his efforts to substitute (or at least substantially augment) baseball scouts' intuition about players with data-driven decision-making.
Soon, the Office of Management and Budget was endorsing the Moneyball approach, arguing that government needed to be relentlessly focused on goals, not processes, and rigorous in efforts to gather evidence about program performance. And that evidence, ultimately, should be used to drive budget decisions, the Obama administration declared.
Fast forward almost two years, and two high-ranking officials in the Obama and George W. Bush administrations put the question starkly in the July/August "Ideas Issue" of The Atlantic: "Can Government Play Moneyball?" John Bridgeland, a Bush policy adviser, and Peter Orszag, Obama's first OMB chief, argue that less than $1 of every $100 in government spending is spent analyzing whether the money is being spent wisely.
While the Moneyball approach seems trendy, the idea of measuring the performance of government programs isn't new. Even in its modern incarnation, it's more than two decades old. I actually wrote a cover story in Government Executive on the phenomenon in June 1992.
So why are we still talking about getting started? Part of the problem is it's really hard. Back in 1992, the cautionary tale about the perils of performance measurement involved the Job Training Partnership Act, which provided states and localities with funds for job training, remedial education and job search assistance. It had simple performance measures: states were rated on how many people they placed in jobs, and at what cost.
Getting people actual jobs seems like a perfectly good performance measure, right? Yes, up to a point. The problem was that local offices started cherry-picking clients they could place most quickly and tailoring their services to them. And those folks didn't necessarily stay in the jobs they found. So the Labor Department had to overhaul performance measures to factor in how many people were still in their jobs three months after being placed.
Even if you develop the right performance measures -- which can take years of trial and error -- you're faced with the issue of getting people to act on them. Every program has congressional backers, and often they're not interested in learning about whether or not their pet project is working. If it's delivering a benefit to a particular constituency, then mission accomplished.
So should we just give up on the idea of ever directing increasingly scarce federal dollars to programs that actually work? Not necessarily. Bridgeland and Orszag argue for holding politicians' feet to the fire by creating a Moneyball Index to rate members of Congress on their support for programs that have been shown not to work.
Even in the absence of such a tool, John Kamensky of the IBM Center for the Business of Government argued recently that there are a bunch of reasons to think the push to evidence-based budgeting may be gaining traction. Among them:
- Agencies are collecting more data than ever.
- Tools to analyze the information are getting more sophisticated.
- Leaders across the political spectrum are beginning to pay attention.
On top of those factors, the budget situation is leading directly to increased interest in squeezing the most out of every federal dollar.
Of course, sustained progress in this area would require an ongoing commitment to assessing and improving federal performance in both the executive and legislative branches. That'll be the trickiest part of all.
Twenty-one years ago, then-OMB management chief Frank Hodsoll told me, "we're a long way from doing [performance-based budgeting] in any meaningful sense in the federal government." We're still pretty far away, but we may be getting closer, little by little.

gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean in the event that you put this to your ear. "
She put the shell to her ear and screamed. There clearly was a hermit
crab inside plus it pinched her ear. She never desires
to return! LoL I understand this really is entirely off topic but I had to share with someone!

Here's Drew Barrymore last night at a Bulgari event. Drew's on Ellen today -- we'll deal with that tomorrow. She's also selling some kind of wine now. It's a Pinot Grigio. Click here to see. And apparently creating makeup for Walmart? Click here to read Maria's article about that a few weeks ago. How all that matches with Bulgari is a mystery. High low?
It was weird to me when she staged her engagement ring photos. Click here to see.
It was weird to me when she sold her wedding photos. Click here to see.
You'll note, both times it was through PEOPLE.
And I heard a rumour very recently that PEOPLE might be getting her baby photos too.
Was Drew always the for sale type to you?
Am I the only one who is surprised by this?
Was I dumb to be under the misapprehension that she'd be disdainful of that kind of self-promotion?
Also, what's the market for Drew Barrymore baby photos anyway?

Housing & Transportation
Where do vet students usually live? What kind of housing is available for students?
Most vet students live off-campus within a 5-10 minute drive to campus. You can find apartment complexes and houses within a short drive to campus. Some neighborhoods are more popular with veterinary students than others because they are quieter and allow pets. Veterinary students typically live with other veterinary students or with other graduate or professional students. Some students prefer to live by themselves.
Will I need a car as a vet student?
It is not essential to have a car during the first couple of years of vet school. Students who don't have a car (and even some that do) ride their bikes or take the bus to campus. You will, however, need access to a car when you enter the clinics in your 3rd year as students will be required to work late and report to work promptly when on call
Is there a bus service on-and off-campus?
TCAT (Tompkins Consolidated Area Transit) buses serve the Cornell campus as well areas around Ithaca and surrounding communities. Students can ride TCAT for free after 6pm on weekdays and all day on weekends. New to Cornell students also get a free TCAT bus pass which allows them allows unlimited access to all TCAT buses in Tompkins Count
Extracurricular Activities
What kind of clubs and organizations do veterinary students at Cornell participate in?
Despite their demanding academic workload, our students are involved in a variety of clubs, organizations and extracurricular activities. Whether you are interested in enhancing your knowledge regarding a specific species or specialty or looking for opportunities to showcase your artistic or athletic skills you will find a club that's right for you.
Are there opportunities to participate in activities across campus?
The Cornell community is a vibrant intellectual community. Students are encouraged to participate in the intellectual, cultural and athletic events held on campus.
Do students hold jobs while in vet school?
Approximately 20-25% of our students work part-time while they are in vet school. Since the veterinary curriculum is extremely demanding those that do work usually limit their work hours to 5-10 hours a week. Most jobs that vet students hold are within college. Faculty and staff at the vet college are sensitive to the demands of the curriculum and are more likely to be flexible with work schedules
Support Services
Can students with disabilities receive accommodations in the DVM program?
Yes. The DVM program provides reasonable accommodations for students with qualifying disabilities. College and university staff, in consultation with the veterinary faculty, works with the student to determine what is appropriate and fair given the nature of the disability and the requirements of the DVM curriculum.
Is their a mentor/advisor system for new students?
All incoming students are assigned a faculty advisor and a peer mentor who is a 2nd or 3rd year DVM student. Advisors and peer mentors assist incoming students as they adjust to life at vet school by providing support and guidance. Of course we are sure you will develop many additional supportive relationships with the faculty, staff and students at the vet college.
