Adalimumab ELISA
Adalimumab is a recombinant human IgG1 monoclonal antibody specific for human tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α). Adalimumab is produced by recombinant DNA technology in a mammalian cell expression system and is purified by a process that includes specific viral inactivation and removal steps. Adalimumab binds specifically to (TNF-α) and blocks its interaction with the p55 and p75 cell surface TNF receptors. TNF is a naturally occurring cytokine that is involved in normal inflammatory and immune responses.
Intended Use: This Adalimumab ELISA is a rapid and easy method for the quantitative determination of Adalimumab in human serum, plasma and cell culture supernatant. The Adalimumab is for research use only. Not for diagnostic or therapeutic procedures.
Principle: The method employs the quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique. Antibodies to Adalimumab are pre-coated onto microwells. Samples and standards are pipetted into microwells and human Adalimumab present in the sample are bound by the capture antibody. Then, a HRP (horseradish peroxidase) conjugated anti-Adalimumab antibody is pipetted and incubated with samples. After washing microwells in order to remove any nonspecific binding, the ready to use substrate solution (TMB) is added to microwells and color develops proportionally to the amount of Adalimumab in the sample. Color development is then stopped by addition of stop solution. Absorbance is measured at 450 nm.
The kit uses a sandwich ELISA format to quantify the target cytokine between two layers of antibodies (i.e. capture and detection antibody). The cytokine to be measured contains at least two antigenic epitope capable of binding to antibody, since at least two antibodies act in the sandwich. The advantage of Sandwich ELISA is that the sample does not have to be purified before analysis, and the assay can be very sensitive upto pg/ml levels (more sensitive than direct or indirect ELISA). A highly efficient blocking and stabilizing proprietary solution is used in the kit. All KRISHGEN cytokine ELISA kits are optimized to give the best possible noise:signal ratios.

Delivering Postal Reform
Watching paint dry might sound more exciting to some Americans than overhauling the postal service — until they realize that post offices will be closed, Saturday delivery is on the chopping block and other things they take for granted are up for debate.
That's the hornet's nest that Congress will be stirring up over the next few weeks. The issue took on new urgency last year when the United States Postal Service announced it would have to close hundreds of distribution centers and thousands of small post offices to stay solvent.
Furious efforts to save local post offices have ensued, of course, but the whole topic has been red-hot in Washington, where a wide range of special interests have weighed in. They include some of the heaviest hitters OpenSecrets.org keeps track of, like postal unions and FedEx, as well as groups from more obscure corners of the lobbying world, like the Envelope Manufacturers of America (yes, envelopes have lobbyists).
Lawmakers have until May 15 to come up with a postal bill – that's the deadline set by the USPS before it implements its own plan to close post offices (mostly rural) and tinker with rates. That ensures the matter won't wind up in the dead letter office.
Two major versions of postal reform legislation are being considered: the 21st Century Postal Service Act, which is headed to the floor in the Senate, and the Postal Reform Act of 2011. Both would drastically change the USPS as we know it with rate increases, post office closings and changes to the postal workers' retirement system. Potential new revenue streams could come from allowing the shipment of beer, wine and liquor (which FedEx and UPS already do) and giving the USPS the green light to offer some financial services.
Even before this last-minute push, the postal service revamping has been a source of drama on the Hill. For instance, the House version of the overhaul legislation, which includes layoffs, has been shepherded by the chairman of the Government Oversight and Reform Committee, Darrell Issa (R-Calif). Issa was once a favorite of the postal unions – but since he began pushing the reform bill this election cycle much of that money has been shut off. The Senate's leading voice against cuts is Bernie Sanders (I-Vt), a perennial favorite of public-sector union money.
Of course, lawmakers have heard from FedEx and UPS, both of whom have a lot riding on the viability of their biggest competitor. Both also qualify as heavy hitters on OpenSecrets.org for their intense Washington presence on the lobbying and campaign finance scene (both companies even own townhouses near the United States Capitol building to host fundraising events for lawmakers).
And, with tens of thousands of public employees affected, the unions and groups that represent those workers have been out in force: there's the National Association of Letter Carriers, and the National Postal Mail Handlers Union, both of which are affiliates of union heavyweight AFL-CIO.
There's also the National Rural Letter Carriers Association, which represents mail-carriers far from the big metropolises. The National Association of Postmasters goes to bat for managers, and the National Star Route Mail Contractor Association backs contractors the post office uses to ship mail. The National Active and Retired Federal Employees Association had to say something about this, since most suggestions involve changes to the pension fund for postal employees.
Or, to help keep tabs on all the interests talking to Congress about the big business that is your mail, look up our info on lobbying in the entire "postal" issue area.

Call it the dark side of the always-on digital world: the incessant pressure business leaders face—from investors, customers, employees—to be present and accountable, more often than not via social media.1
Most executives sense (correctly) that it's only going to get worse in a world where everyone has the potential to connect with everyone else... and where everyone has the ability to check the veracity of what a leader says. That may explain why the vast majority of CEOs remain on the social media sidelines, viewing these technologies as unwelcome, even frivolous intrusions on their already limited time.2 But it is easy to imagine a not-too-distant future where being able to answer difficult questions quickly and accurately could mean the difference between winning and losing.
So, can leaders be connected, present and effective 24/7? And should they be? The answer to both questions is yes. But this will require leaders to embrace social media, not for its own sake but as a deliberate and targeted way to enhance connectivity and cohesiveness within their organizations. They will need to exploit the very technologies that created this expectation of instant accessibility in the first place. And by becoming thoughtful, sophisticated users of social media, they will be able to have a presence even when they are absent.
Accenture interviews with executives who are actively implementing digital strategy in their organizations suggest that tomorrow's business leaders will have to do three things well. (See Sidebar "About the Research").
The good news is that analytics are catching up to the data tsunami, making the time leaders spend analyzing information more productive. For example, Twitter, Google News, Facebook's Graph Search and LinkedIn's Pulse capture and announce events ahead of major print and digital media by continuously monitoring the Internet for trending topics in real time. Similar analytical tools will soon make it possible for leaders to tune in to internal organizational conversations, even on a global scale.
For example, Microsoft IT leaders keep their fingers on the pulse of the organization by using analytical software to monitor hot and trending topics in their Yammer collaboration space. This allows CEO Satya Nadella to pick up on early warning signals.3 Sentiments like thumbs up/down, likes, emoticons and expressions of excitement can be aggregated to give an early indication of how an idea is being received.
Organizational conversations occur at different speeds, as well as in different media. Some unwind quickly, like the rapid-fire exchange of texts or instant messages, while others play out over longer stretches. Tuning in to these global conversations requires tools that capture and analyze multiple streams of data, tools that previously were available only to intelligence agencies.
For example, Oblong Industries' Mezzanine system captures the multiple streams of data that are routinely generated in meetings-including telepresence and virtual meetings—and organizes them into files that can be edited and streamed for later use. Soon, organizational conversations—posts, comments, rejoinders and all the evidence that underlies them—will be accessible to leaders in a quick, digestible form.4
Rather than passively monitor the intranet, leaders will be able to do what they do best: insert questions that stimulate or redirect the conversation.5Salesforce.com CEO Marc Benioff actively participates in a variety of internal conversation threads with the explicit intent of stirring the pot as well as keeping current on the ways programmers and customers test the limits of the company's collaboration products. Former Tupperware North America President Stein Ove Fenne transformed communications from a one-way headquarters broadcast to a two-way dialogue with sales associates, available 24/7.6
Further improvements in language processing tools will sharpen an organization's ability to detect energy and emotion in digital communication. With the visual equivalent of a thermograph to depict organizational hot spots and cold spots, leaders will be in a much better position to identify where ideas are being born or, worse, dying.
The key here is that leaders need not be social media masters. Instead, like great orchestra conductors, they will listen ahead to the players around them, anticipating and thus shaping the way conversations move next.
Leaders need to establish a presence that accurately and consistently represents who they are and what they stand for, even when they are absent. And, especially when they reside some distance from the people who report to them, leaders want to influence how people do important things, like formulate strategy, make decisions and deal with ambiguity. When done well, shorter and more frequent real-time communications (like video events and blog posts) can sustain a leader's influence in between time-intensive face-to-face encounters.
However, achieving a digital presence requires leaders to think differently about how organizations operate. For example, it is common knowledge that many opinion shapers and influencers don't register on the formal org chart. Yet when researchers conduct social network analyses it turns out that managers cannot name even half of the people others turn to for information and advice in their departments.7 This suggests that such ignorance may carry a cost in terms of ability to communicate (one way or two ways) through organizational networks.
Just as they need to know who has influence in an organizational network, leaders should be alert to the blind spots that may exist in their own personal networks. High-performing professionals tend to maintain a fairly even distribution of peers, superiors and subordinates in their personal networks, both within and outside their employing organization.
Their "spherical" networks bring support and resources from superiors, advice and criticism from peers, and feedback and engagement from subordinates.
Unfortunately, many leaders maintain networks that are not suited to achieving presence. For example, a study undertaken in a multinational pharmaceutical company revealed that the networks of its US subsidiary were skewed to people from similar disciplinary or functional backgrounds, hierarchical levels, or cultural and gender groups. Rather than bringing the broadest array of information—including bad or controversial news—leaders' networks insulated and even diminished their presence.
Awareness of network structure can make it possible to capture the multiplier effect that networks offer. Having an accurate understanding of central connectors and "brokers" (people who reside at the intersection of multiple subnetworks) will make it possible for a leader to address more people faster than he or she could with a top-down memo or a companywide email blast.
Moreover, a leader can forge connections faster and more simply by having greater visibility into the overall network.
For example, if he or she is aware that two different parts of an organization are pursuing the same objective but are unaware of each other's efforts, he or she can connect the dots and, in the process, reshape the network. In addition, with growing concerns about cost and energy conservation, it will prove more efficient for leaders to monitor a dozen subnetworks in two hours than to try to visit a dozen in a month. The implications for achieving presence are clear: When leaders are aware of the con-versations that are taking place in their organizations and can identify those that are generating the most energy or emotion, they can allocate their attention (and their interventions) with greater impact.
This report is part of an ongoing project being carried out by Accenture's Institute for High Performance on the broad topic of "Leading the Digital Enterprise," or LDE. Drawing from Accenture's 2014 Tech Vision, the 2014 CEO Briefing, and an earlier AIHP report ("From Looking Digital to Being Digital"), LDE explores the implications of digital technologies for the work of leaders and managers.
The research team, led by Bob Thomas and supported by Richard Amico, conducted in-depth interviews with more than two dozen executives from 17 companies tasked with implementing digital strategy. Included in this sample were companies from the financial services, consumer goods, energy, automotive and professional services industries. In addition, the team received helpful feedback and advice from leading academics at MIT, Stanford University, the Indian School of Business, INSEAD, and the Harvard Business School.
As a showcase for the most innovative thinking on high-performance business, Outlook focuses on six core themes: Redefining Competitiveness, Digital Disruption, Global Operating Model, Open Innovation, Sustainability and Workforce of the Future. We feature original content devoted to these topics as well as a selection of unique insights offered by professionals throughout Accenture.

For a while I've been hearing about a novel way to help moms of diabetics avoid supplementing their newborns with formula: prenatal colostrum expression.
It seems like a kind of elegant solution to a complicated problem, in ways I'll explain below. But there have been lingering questions about whether or not it's safe, and a study from the U.K. out last week took a look at some of those concerns.
Some background: Babies of diabetic moms are at higher risk of becoming hypoglycemic in their early hours and days. If their mothers are Type 1 diabetics, they are also 10 to 20 times more likely to develop Type 1 diabetes than the general population. There is an association between not breastfeeding (and perhaps in particular with exposure to cow's milk formula) and the development of diabetes, so exclusive breastfeeding appears to be very important in reducing risk.
But diabetes causes mothers' mature milk to arrive later, and they are also more likely to have cesarean deliveries, which is another risk factor for a delay in mature milk production. So the baby of diabetic mother is both at higher risk of being supplemented with formula, and also at higher risk of the complications of it.
In recent years, some providers have begun experimenting with having diabetic moms express and store some colostrum during pregnancy so that it would be available in case supplementation was necessary. A 2011 Australian study pilot study of a small group of women (43) suggested that this practice is effective at reducing supplementation and supporting exclusive breastfeeding, though more infants of mothers who expressed required nursery care. The practice of prenatal expression appears to be growing in popularity.
But the authors of last week's study say that "the acceptability, risks and benefits of this practice have not been evaluated." Of particular concern is whether or not expressing colostrum might make women more likely to go into labor too early, since nipple stimulation is a commonly employed means of inducing labor. And to their credit, the authors of the Australian study made clear that their sample "was not an adequate number to examine safety or efficacy, but this study does provide evidence that it would be feasible and desirable to conduct a randomised controlled trial."
So, on to last week's study from the U.K. It was a two year retrospective cohort study of 94 pregnant women with diabetes (type 1, 2 and gestational diabetes) who gave birth during 2001–2003. The information was collected through self-administered questionnaires and by examining maternity records.
Thirty-seven percent of women recalled being advised to express prenatally,
and 17% did. They were encouraged to begin expression at 36 weeks gestation (do you see one issue coming already?). The total number of mothers in the intervention group was 16 (see another one?), and the comparison group had 69. Higher educated women were more likely to express than less educated women. Otherwise they looked about the same.
The results: Mean weeks gestation at birth was a full week earlier, roughly 37 weeks vs. 38 weeks (which is rather early either way, don't you think?). They were less likely to be induced, and more likely to deliver by cesarean section, though these differences weren't statistically significant. They were more likely to breastfeed at birth, but ended up breastfeeding for slightly fewer weeks (18.5 weeks. vs. 19.9 weeks) in total. 33% of the babies in the expression group were admitted to the special care nursery, compared to 12% in the non-expression group. As far as I can tell, no information was gathered on in-hospital supplementation rates or exclusive breastfeeding on discharge or later postpartum.
So the story for this small group of mothers, compared to their peers, was: Expression starting at 36 weeks, earlier term birth, breastfeeding initiation, baby admitted to nursery, little difference in breastfeeding duration. (No information about exclusivity.)
This sounds, on the face of it, like an early term/late preterm pattern, sometimes called the "impostor baby" syndrome because these early babies often look like full term babies but are immature in a variety of ways that negatively affect breastfeeding. It also looks like the pattern seen in early elective induction, which increases the risk of NICU admission, and breastfeeding difficulty, among others problems.
In short, this doesn't look so good.
There are many questions to ask here, but I think that the first should be: What would this look like if moms weren't expressing until, say 39 weeks, which is the earliest recommended elective induction cut off (something avidly promoted by the March of Dimes)? Yes, these babies might be bigger (as they're already at risk of being large because of diabetes), but wouldn't they be 1) more ready to be born from a labor and birth standpoint and probably would be more likely to be born vaginally, and 2) have significantly better self regulation which would make them less likely to need nursery care and better at breastfeeding, among other things. Would that change the outcome?
I also wonder why this pattern isn't seen in tandem breastfeeding (breastfeeding during pregnancy), which the American Academy of Family Physicians supports "if the pregnancy is normal and the mother is healthy." Are mothers at higher risk if they have diabetes?
And finally, if prenatal colostrum expression isn't an option, should diabetic moms get priority for donor milk to avoid supplementation with formula while waiting for their milk to come in?
This study, and the Australian pilot study which preceded it, are raising some important questions about the practice of prenatal expression for women with diabetes, and we can only hope that larger and more controlled studies of will provide better answers soon.
Did you express colostrum prenatally? Were you able to avoid your baby being supplemented with formula? Did your baby arrive early?

ATLANTA – A survey of 5,000 fifth- and seventh-graders in the state of Georgia revealed that more than half of them failed to pass a fitness test, according to a study by the Georgia Youth Fitness Assessment.
The study weighed and measured students in 93 public and private schools across Georgia. The students were asked to perform set tasks, such as running back and forth between two lines within a set amount of time. The students also did modified pull-ups.
To pass the test, pre-teen girls had to do four of the pull-ups, fifth-grade boys had to do five and seventh-grade boys had to do seven. Fifty-seven percent of the students could not meet the standard, and 52 percent failed the running test.
About 30 percent of Georgia students weigh too much, and 44 percent do not get enough exercise, according to the study.
"Georgia children are unfit. They're overweight. They're inactive," says Dr. Ken Powell, one of the study's authors.

1997 Plasma Physics Reunion Dinner & Levinton Award
Steve Sabbagh organized the annual Columbia Plasma Physics Reunion Dinner, held at the Balcony restaurant on November 18, 1997, during the APS Division of Plasma Physics Meeting in Pittburgh, PA.
Fred Levinton was also honored during the dinner for winning the 1997 John Dawson Award for Excellence in Plasma Physics Research for "his conception and development of the Motional Stark Effect diagnostic technique for measuring the local magnetic field inside a plasma, providing information critical to understanding magnetic plasma confinement."
Dr. Fred Levinton received his B.Sc. degree in physics in 1978 from McGill University, Canada and his Ph.D. in physics from Columbia University in 1983. He developed a multichannel Thomson scattering diagnostic to study high beta plasma equilibria for his thesis work in experimental plasma physics. Following post-doctoral work, he joined the Plasma Technology Division of JAYCOR in 1984 and worked at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory on the S-1 spheromak studying equilibrium and confinement. On the PBX-M tokamak, he developed the motional Stark effect (MSE) Phys. Rev. Lett. 63, 2060(1989) diagnostic to measure the internal magnetic field in a high temperature plasma. In 1990, he was a founding member of Fusion Physics and Technology, Inc. He has since been investigating current profile effects on the sawtooth instability in plasmas. Using the MSE diagnostic, he developed a reversed magnetic shear Phys. Rev. Lett. 75, 4417(1995) q-profile which led to the enhanced reversed shear (ERS) mode on TFTR. His recent efforts have been to study the effect of reversed magnetic shear on plasma transport and stabilty, and extension of the MSE diagnostic to measurement of electric fields in plasmas.

Hopkinton has been long known as the home of the Boston Marathon starting line. The town even coined the phrase, �it all starts here.� But until 1924, the Marathon started�just a mile down the�road, in Ashland.
On April 19, 1897, only 15 runners gathered for the first Boston Marathon. The starting line was drawn on dirt using the back of a runner�s shoe. Instead of using a starter pistol, Olympic gold medalist Tom Burke yelled �go� to begin the race.
Now an increasingly popular sport held in cities around the world, running 40 kilometers or roughly 25 miles was considered a dangerous and even foolish undertaking at the time. People gathered around the starting line and along the course, anticipating disaster,�according to news articles from that time.
When the Boston Athletic Association was planning the Marathon course, they wanted it go parallel to the train tracks so officials could ride alongside the runners.
The BAA picked Patriots Day as the day of the Marathon and wanted Lexington and Concord to be the starting line. This tribute to the Revolutionary War didn't work out because the distance from either of these towns to Boston�s Back Bay was too short -�making Ashland the lucky winner.
The race attracted Olympic champions. Marathon running�was one of the original events in the modern Olympics. The Olympic marathon distance fluctuated between 24.85 and 25 miles but was changed to 26.2 miles during the 1908 games in London, according to the Ashland Sporting Association.
On the day of the race, Queen Alexandria had fallen sick so the starting line�was moved�to the front of Windsor Castle so she could watch. The extended distance became a marathon standard.
While the BAA resisted the change for 16 years, the Marathon starting line was moved to Hopkinton after pressure from the Olympic Committee, according to the Ashland Sporting Association.
Since then, a rivalry has brewed between Ashland and Hopkinton, whether it's between their high school sports teams or for a piece of Marathon history.
�It starts in Hopkinton but it all started in Ashland,� said Ashland Sporting Association Chairman Steve Greenberg.
Now, both towns are vying to build their own marathon museums.
The Ashland Sporting Association has drawn up plans to expand Marathon Park and build a Boston Marathon museum and year-round function hall right next to the original starting line on Pleasant Street.
Steve Flynn, Ashland Half Marathon volunteer and Brockton Enterprise city editor, has been�doing research�about the "Ashland Era" of the Marathon. He has used his findings to create plaques that are on display at Marathon Park in Ashland.
The museum will include information about the Marathon�s history and long-distance running.
Meanwhile, the 26.2 Foundation in Hopkinton is building an International Marathon Center. The center will include interactive exhibits, a hall of fame and conference center.
�We�re thinking beyond the local borders,� said Tim Kilduff, executive director of the 26.2 Foundation.
The 700-acre complex will be next to the starting line of the Boston Marathon on Legacy Farms Road.
Despite�these similar projects, Kilduff says both towns' histories should be recognized.
�The start has always been in MetroWest,� he said.
He adds that instead competing,�Ashland and Hopkinton�should work together in their quest to remember the Marathon�s history.
�I don�t see why we shouldn�t start collaborating on each of these projects.�

Ashland and Hopkinton vie to have their own marathon museums
Hopkinton has been long known as the home of the Boston Marathon starting line. The town even coined the phrase, �it all starts here.� But until 1924, the Marathon started�just a mile down the�road, in Ashland.

Consensus Report
Protecting Building Occupants and Operations from Biological and Chemical Airborne Threats: A Framework for Decision Making (2007)Board on Chemical Sciences and Technology
Each report is produced by a committee of experts selected by the Academy to address a particular statement of task and is subject to a rigorous, independent peer review; while the reports represent views of the committee, they also are endorsed by the Academy. Learn more on our expert consensus reports.
Protecting buildings and their occupants from biological and chemical attacks to ensure continuous building operations is seen as an urgent need in the Department of Defense, given recent technological advances and the changing threats. Toward this end, the Department of Defense established the Immune Building Program to develop protective systems to deter biological and chemical attacks on military facilities and minimize the impacts of attacks should they occur. At the request of the Defense Threat Reduction Agency, the National Research Council convened a committee to provide guiding principles for protecting buildings from airborne biological or chemical threat agents and outline the variables and options to consider in designing building protection systems. This report addresses such components of building protection as building design and planning strategies; heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning systems; filtration; threat detection and identification technologies; and operational responses. It recommends that building protection systems be designed to accommodate changing building conditions, new technologies, and emerging threats. Although the report's focus is on protection of military facilities, the guiding principles it offers are applicable to protection of public facilities as well.
Key Messages
- A systematic process that takes into account the building's vulnerabilities and risks of attacks, its physical limitations, the budget, and options for protection using risk assessment and management approaches is needed to guide decision making and cost-benefit analysis for building protection.
- Building protection systems cannot be standardized or even generalized because the physical characteristics of buildings their age, quality of construction, leakiness and ongoing activities inside vary greatly within and across military and civilian sectors.
- Building use, with respect to its contents or occupants and their activities and mission, should play a large role in determining the type and level of protection needed.
- Level of protection 1 (LP-1) is a low-level passive protection that has no sensors or additional options installed specifically to address biological and chemical threat agents.
- Level of protection 2 (LP-2) is a high-level passive protection that does not utilize sensors.
- Level of protection 3 (LP-3) is a low-level active protection designed to detect and identify threat agents in time to execute therapeutic responses, but not quickly enough to warn occupants of the threat before exposure occurs.
- Level of protection 4 (LP-4) is a high-level active protection that can detect and identify a threat agent in time to mitigate the release. LP-4 can detect a threat early enough to make operational responses that prevent exposure, such as redirecting ventilation or donning personal protective equipment.
- The best classification of threat agents is according to the two most critical properties related to current vulnerabilities in building protection the ease of timely detection and the ease of timely treatment. This classification treats biological and chemical threats equally and addresses vulnerabilities from unknown threats.
- The committee defined four levels of protection (LPs) that are not absolute but can be used to illustrate the components needed and options available for achieving desired protection goals. These levels of protection are qualitative, like the biosafety levels of microbiological and biomedical laboratories.
- There is no universal set of metrics that can be used to assess protection systems of all buildings because of the uniqueness of each building, its use, and the goals and objectives of its protection.

Minister for Foreign Affairs Timo Soini will continue his school visits, which focus on the prevention of violent radicalisation, in March in Lapland. On Tuesday 13 March, Minister Soini will visit the Ounasvaara upper secondary school in Rovaniemi and another upper secondary school in Kemijärvi. The school visits aim to enhance young people's knowledge and awareness of the importance of Finland's foreign and security policy in the prevention of violent radicalisation.
"People do not become radicalised and commit acts of violence on a whim; instead, such acts stem from a long series events, which can be addressed. I want to encourage young people to be active and step in. It is also interesting to hear what young people think and what they want to ask about the matter," Foreign Minister Timo Soini says.
"I want to remind upper secondary school students about the importance of Finland's foreign and security policy in the fight against violent radicalisation and terrorism. Finland works in various parts of the word to promote human rights, especially the rights of women and girls, seeks to reduce poverty in a sustainable manner, and takes part in crisis management. All this is important in efforts to reduce violence and marginalisation."
The Minister started his visits to schools last year at the Tikkurila upper secondary school. His visits in 2017 included also the Tapiola upper secondary school, Maunula Secondary School and Helsinki Math School. In 2018, the Minister's visits extend to schools in the counties. Earlier this year, he visited schools in Nurmes and Siilinjärvi.

No matter which way the US Supreme Court rules in the "gay marriage" cases before it the international debate over the definition of marriage will continue because that debate is, at root, about matters beyond a civil court's competence, things like the nature of human beings and the fundamental good of society. Because we Catholics are and will surely remain major participants in such a debate we should be clear among ourselves as to what our Church teaches in this area. I offer as a primer (I stress, primer) toward such better understanding my position on following points.
1. The Catholic Church teaches, though its ordinary magisterium and with infallible certainty, that marriage exists only between one man and one woman. CDF, "Considerations" (2003) passim; CCC 1601-1608; CCEO (1990) 776; 1983 CIC 1055 § 1; Rite of Marriage (1969) n. 2; Vatican II, Gaudium et spes (1965) 48; Pius XI, Casti connubii (1930) 6, 20, 23; Leo XIII, Arcanum (1880) 5, 24; Matthew XIX: 4-6; and Genesis II: 21-24. There is no evidence of ecclesiastical authority ever supporting any other definition of marriage.
1. Note. It is possible that this teaching is proposed as an object of belief (credenda, per Canon 750 § 1, doubt or denial of which assertion would be heresy under Canon 751 and thus sanctionable under Canon 1364 § 1); at a minimum, however, the Church proposes the man-woman assertion as necessarily to be held (tenenda) in order "to safeguard reverently and to expound faithfully the same deposit of faith" (Canon 750 § 2), rendering those who "obstinately reject" the assertion liable to "a just penalty" if, having been duly admonished, they refuse to retract (Canon 1371, 2º).
2. The Catholic Church has the right and duty "always and everywhere to announce moral principles, even about the social order, and to render judgment concerning any human affairs insofar as the fundamental rights of the human person or the salvation of souls requires it." 1983 CIC 747 § 2; CCC 2246.
3. Catholics who promote "same-sex marriage" act contrary to Canon 209 § 1 and should not approach for holy Communion per Canon 916. Depending on the facts of the case, they also risk having holy Communion withheld from them under Canon 915, being rebuked under Canon 1339 § 2, and/or being sanctioned under Canon 1369 for gravely injuring good morals.
3. Note. The situation of Catholic politicians lending support to "same-sex marriage" is to be assessed as above, with special attention being paid to the heightened responsibility that civil servants have to protect the common good. CDF, "Considerations" (2003) 10; CCC 2235-2237, 2244; 1983 CIC 1326 § 1, 2.
4. The Catholic Church would regard any attempt by persons of the same sex to marry, regardless of their religious affiliation or lack thereof, as null. CCC 1603; 1983 CIC 1055 § 1.
5. Catholics who attempt a "same-sex marriage" act contrary to Canon 209 § 1 and should not approach for holy Communion per Canon 916. Depending on the facts of the case, they also risk having holy Communion withheld from them under Canon 915, being rebuked under Canon 1339 § 2, and/or being sanctioned under Canon 1379 for simulation of a sacrament. Morevoer, Catholics who assist others toward attempting a "same-sex marriage" cooperate in the bad act of those others, which cooperation is liable to moral assessment in accord with the usual principles applicable to cooperation with evil and, under certain facts, according to the canonical principles applying to cooperation in crime per Canon 1329 and/or scandal per Canon 1339 § 2, etc.
5. Note. Catholics who have attempted a "same-sex marriage" or who have assisted another toward a "same-sex marriage" can be reconciled morally under the usual conditions by sacramental Confession (Canon 959) or by a 'perfect act of contrition' per CCC 1452; they can be reconciled canonically, if necessary, in accord with applicable law.

The multiplier concept reinforces Joint Strike's arcade roots: this is a game all about high scores. You can pick up medals during flight to net points and every level has rankings based on time completion and play style that - you guessed it - reward you with more points. Persistent online leaderboards bring the high score mentality home as well.
Besides an obsession with high scores, Joint Strike has one other thing in common with its predecessors: its difficulty. This is one hard game, but it's never unfair. Like most top-down shooters, the main gamer characteristic being tested is your reflexes. However, reflexes alone aren't enough - they need to be combined with a memorization of enemy and boss patterns.
The majority of players - even on easy - won't beat the game on their first or second try. To help curb the steep difficulty there are four levels of play to choose from, ranging from easy (Penguin) to very hard (Wing King). Starting a game on Penguin will give you nine lives, while embarking on a Wing King mission will test your skill by giving you just a single life. Oh, and lives are important for beginners because the game has no continues. Die and it's back to the beginning.
Whether players are already veterans of the game or having trouble on their own, online co-op play is a welcome feature. You can have a buddy play the entire game with you. When tested for review, the online play was excellent. There was no lag and it was a painless process joining a custom or quick game. Besides flying with a fellow pilot, co-op allows you to team up with joint strike attacks. You can string a lightning net between your two planes, instantly frying passerby aircraft.
What Joint Strike lacks in graphical fidelity (it's not a bad looking game by any means - it just never wows) it makes up for in slick presentation. At the beginning of each level a filmstrip spins back-and-forth and sepia tones drench everything in gray and brown. Once the level kicks in gear, the dreary color palate is washed away; it's a simple effect, but it looks great. Simplicity extends over to the audio as well. The score won't have you humming along, but it sits fine in the background.
Backbone Entertainment has updated a decades old classic, bringing it into a new millennium. The core gameplay - established by the first game - is still here and shines. Joint Strike's short length is bolstered by its difficulty, but it's hard to see gamers coming back for repeated solo player; co-op is the most impressive feature of this update. At such a low price, it's a great value for those looking for an arcade fix.

Telework Keeps People On the Job Longer
- By Brittany Ballenstedt
- January 14, 2013
- Leave a comment
Technology has been touted as a means for retiring federal workers to pass on their knowledge and expertise to tech-savvy new hires. But that may not be the only benefit it is having on knowledge transfer in the federal government. In fact, telework is playing a big factor in many retirement-eligible federal employees deciding to stay in their jobs – giving agencies an even longer window to capture their knowledge and expertise.
Andrew Krzmarzick, director of community engagement for GovLoop, writes in a blog post that telework may be a major driver of Baby Boomers deciding to stay in their jobs beyond their retirement age. He quotes a recent GovLoop interview with Nick Nayak, chief procurement officer at the Homeland Security Department, who noted that while 20-25 percent of DHS' workforce is at retirement-eligible age or soon to be, DHS workers in 2012 did not retire as quickly as they have in the past.
"Teleworking is a big reason for that," Nayak told GovLoop. "It allows employees the chance to work a more flexible schedule so they aren't retiring as early as before."

Should We Ban After-Hours Work Emails?
- By Brittany Ballenstedt
- January 7, 2013

Late last month, I wrote about some of the potential downsides to teleworking, particularly when it comes to work-life balance. And as workers kick off their 2013 round of career resolutions, it's interesting to see that some companies are making at least one resolution for their workers as well: turn off those mobile devices.
The New York Times reports that companies such as German automaker Daimler and Empower Public Relations in Chicago are adopting new policies aimed at reducing the amount of time employees spend on their electronic devices, particularly during off-duty hours.
Employees at Daimler, for example, can have incoming emails automatically deleted during vacation so they do not return to a flooded inbox, while Empower has implemented a Blackberry blackout policy where employees are required to turn off their Blackberries from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. on weekdays and completely off on weekends for work-related use, with some exceptions.
A study released last spring by the Pew Internet and American Life Project found that while mobile phones are considered to make workers more productive, there are potential downsides, particularly when those devices are interfering with employee sleep patterns, thus having a negative impact on productivity...
GSA Offers Online Training in Conference Etiquette

This year has not brought the most positive of headlines for the General Services Administration, particularly after revelations agency officials spent excessively at an over-the-top Las Vegas training conference that featured a mind reader, bicycle giveaways and extravagant receptions.
But now the agency is using that "mistake" as a catalyst for an effort to train other employees on conference etiquette, a topic that will serve as one of the first courses of its new virtual training program set to launch in January, Lauren Concklin, a marketing analyst with GSA, said Thursday during a webinar sponsored by GovLoop.
"GSA underwent a huge travel mistake in the last year, and this is also another reason why we want to modernize our training," Concklin said, noting that the goal of virtual training is to reduce travel mishaps and help agencies realize efficiencies and cost savings.
The agency has teamed up with the online learning platform Blackboard to provide Web-based training to federal employees across government. A manual and in-person process for registering for and attending classes is moving online, allowing feds to register, pay for and attend classes via Internet. The Blackboard platform also provides tools such as discussion boards to collaborate, Concklin...
The Four-Hour Workweek Fantasy
- By Brittany Ballenstedt
- December 10, 2012
- Leave a comment
The Social Media Explorer blog had some interesting thoughts on the future of work and the desires of younger, digital native workers to shift to ideas like the 4-hour workweek.
"I think there is a whole new workforce that is coming to life that a lot of our 'corporate' employers simply aren't prepared for," writes Nichole Kelly, president of SME Digital. "This isn't about whether you are a Gen Xer or Millenial. This trend is rising up as a result of advanced technologies that allow us to work from anywhere, shifting business and personal priorities and books like The 4-Hour Workweek (Crown Archetype, 2009) that tell us we can live differently."
Kelly writes of a near future where employees are free to work from anywhere, going so far as saying that companies could allow employees to take months-long "workcations" in different countries to learn the cultures and become fluent in various languages. In addition, this culture will allow organizations to hire the best person for the job, regardless of their location.
Other traditional aspects of work culture -- such as the 9-to-5 schedule and meetings in conference rooms -- also will become relics of the past as organizations embrace a...
HR and Legal Implications of BYOD
- By Brittany Ballenstedt
- December 3, 2012
- Leave a comment
More than half of federal information workers use their personal smartphones for work purposes, even though agencies have not fully fleshed out their BYOD or "bring your own device" policies, according to a new report by Forrester Research and Cisco.
Most government organizations issue mobile phones and laptops to employees: Sixty-two percent of workers are issued laptops with no choice of make or model, and 50 percent of workers are issued a standard mobile device, according to the report.
Still, despite being issued a device by their agency, more than 58 percent of information workers in government use a personal smartphone for work purposes without considering what their organization supports, the survey found. At the same time, most agencies are still in the research and pilot phases with BYOD policies, and very few government organizations have agencywide BYOD programs.
In addition, only 6 percent of smartphone users and 4 percent of mobile phone users who use their personal devices receive a subsidy, the report found.
Not surprisingly, IT decision makers are most worried about the security of applications and the data on personal devices. But concerns reach far beyond IT to human resources and legal departments, Cisco and Forrester found...

Although they've been around for quite some time, e-cigarettes had become an attractive alternative to traditional smoking when healthy living started getting trendy. How do ecigarettes even work? What makes it different from and better regular cigarettes?
An electronic cigarette (e-cig) is a thin rod-shaped canister that mainly consists of the battery, the atomizer, the microprocessor, sensor, the cartridge, the LED indicator, and the mouthpiece.
The cartridge contains the substance to be vaporized. Once the cartridge is loaded into the e-cig's body, the cartridge's polyester filler makes contact with the atomizer. Capillary action and gravity enable the atomizer to absorb the substance, typically called e-liquid or e-juice, which soaks the polyester into the alloy mesh reservoir where it is stored.

CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) A week after Oregon State relied on its offense for a victory over Arizona, the defense helped secure the win against Washington State.
The Beavers improved their record to 4-0 (3-0 in the Pac-12) and jumped four spots in The Associated Press rankings to No. 10 after a 19-6 win at home over the Cougars on Saturday.
``Our record says we are perfect right now, and I can't argue with that,'' said Oregon State receiver Markus Wheaton. ``But we have a lot to work on. As you can see there are a lot of penalties and missed assignments.''
There were also turnovers. Sophomore Sean Mannion was 25 of 42 for 270 yards, but he threw three interceptions to kill promising drives. Add that to 11 penalties for 110 yards, and the Beavers were their own worst enemies at times.
The first half was particularly trying, with Mannion throwing two of his INTs and another drive stalling at the Cougars 24 when the Beavers failed to convert on fourth-and-2. They took a tenuous 6-3 lead into halftime.
``I'm really proud of the way our team came out in the second half,'' Mannion said. ``I think that says a lot about us.''
Led by cornerback Jordan Poyer and his three interceptions, the defense was sensational, driving Cougars quarterback Connor Halliday from the game after the second drive of the third quarter. Beavers defensive end Scott Crichton sacked Halliday's replacement, Jeff Tuel, three times.
The Cougars' ``Air Raid'' offense under coach Mike Leach was held to 207 yards passing and just 20 yards on the ground. Washington State (2-4, 0-3) had five turnovers - four interceptions and a fumble.
After wins over Wisconsin, UCLA, Arizona and the Cougars, the Beavers haven't had both the defense and offense clicking at the same time.
``We have so much potential to win every game on our schedule,'' Crichton said. ``We haven't played as a whole team yet because either the offense or defense carries us in each game. Once we finally play as a team, you guys are in for something great.''
The Beavers are 4-0 for the first time since 2002. They haven't started a season 5-0 since 1939. Even the Fiesta Bowl champions of 2000, who finished 11-1, lost their fifth game.
Oregon State travels to BYU on Saturday. These Cougars (4-2), survived a scare Friday night against Utah State, narrowly winning the battle for the Old Wagon Wheel 6-3. BYU features a stingy defense that has held opponents to under 300 yards of total offense in 12 straight games.
To play a truly complete game, the Beavers will have to end that streak. And while OSU is 2-0 on the road this season, having beaten UCLA at the Rose Bowl and Arizona in Tucson, LaVell Edwards Stadium - with an elevation of 4,600 feet and a rabid crowd - will likely be the most inhospitable venue the Beavers have seen this year.
``Man, I can't wait to put together a full game,'' running back Storm Woods said, ``and see how good we are.''

Built in 1909, the Mead building in Yankton, S.D., is located on the southern side of the Human Services Center campus, the oldest institution in South Dakota. Funded before the state's penitentiary and universities, the Human Services Center opened in 1878, 10 years before South Dakota became a state. Designed by Dr. Leonard C. Mead, the three-story building is named for him as a tribute to his progressive attitude toward the positive treatment of individuals with mental illnesses.
In charge of the Human Services Center during a time when mental illness was misunderstood and carried stigma, Mead described mental illness as "a misfortune which may come to any of us." Because Mead believed patients should be housed in conditions he wished for himself and his family, the Human Services Center campus features park-like surroundings and residences with broad verandas and tall windows. The marble staircase in the Mead building is an example of the care and attention Mead put into the environment his patients inhabited. His talent for creating serene environments for patients helped produce a 25 percent rehabilitation rate at the center. Mead wrote several textbooks about child psychology and is considered a pioneer in the study of autism.
Renovation plans
Abandoned about 30 years ago, the Mead building suffered considerable damage, including significant structural damage to the roof's wooden understructure. In 2009, the Mead building, and much of the campus, was placed on the National Trust for Historic Preservation's list of the 11 most endangered historic places in the U.S.

While the blacklists serve an important function they are not regulated. That is, anyone with a grievance can file something and what kind of follow-up is done? It's not like the guys who made the blacklists have the resources to verify the claims. Having said that, it's very telling that the Korean government does not have some form of information for foreigners regarding the hagwon industry. Is there a monitoring system that the Korean government has? It seems to be non-existent. If all else fails, the embassy sites provide some general information - much like the kind you will find on many Korean ESL boards such as this one. The blacklists are a stop-gap measure relying upon the honesty of the people filing the report.

Therefore, somebody says a school is a bad one, you gotta ask them exactly why and often you find out this teacher's personal style did not mesh with the style of the school - and you also might realize the same would be true in your case, so avoid it, but you also might realize that it sounds exactly like the kind of place where you'd fit right in. But usually blacklists don't allow you to have any kind of in-depth conversation with the person making the charges. If the poster includes an email address and you're considering that school, get in touch and listen, but listen with an open mind. If not, I agree with someone who said that one or two complaints are something but 15 are really something. (On the other hand, a really dedicated individual with a grudge can easily post 15 gripes under 15 different names ...) Also, as mentioned a school can turn itself around very quickly. I've seen it happen. Still a crapshoot. Back to top GordJoined: 25 Feb 2003 Posted: Mon May 26, 2003 9:25 pm Post subject: Re: Blacklists? Harvard Material wrote: What Gord??

I feel that that is exactly the problem between myself and my employers. Even though I believe I have done an excellent job teaching, never missed a class and NEVER taken a holiday in all my 7 months, they still feel the need to yell at me and threaten me when I make a small mistake (ie: forgetting to wear my tie to work one day.) When I work at a place, I expect a little understanding when I make a small mistake. I work my butt off and make sacrifices for the good of the business and in return I expect them to cut me some slack. I guess Korea isn't the place to find that kind of job LOL Back to top Circus MonkeyJoined: 10 Jan 2003Location: In my coconut tree Posted: Tue May 27, 2003 5:43 pm Post subject: Harvard, I think what Gord means when he says "no reason" is that when people are fired, demoted, or whatever, they often tend to think it's unfair, can't necessarily reflect upon their own performance, and hence, there was "no reason" - from their point of view. That being said, there are hagwon owners who fire people for invalid reasons. CM Back to top Harvard MaterialJoined: 25 Feb 2003Location: Seoul Posted: Tue May 27, 2003 7:17 pm Post subject: Dismissal's... Yes Circus Monkey; that I can accept and appreciate. That was my point to Gord actually, but I didn't word it accurately enough for him/her. Many teachers are released prematurely to avoid the high cost of flights and any contract end bonus expectations. The reason could be anything under the sun; literally. "We got a complaint from a parent(s)." "Your students don't like you." "Things just aren't working out for you here." "You refused to work extra classes without overtime payment." "You complained that you didn't get paid on time, or in full." Of course there are teachers here who could care less about anything outside of partying and getting laid. Uneducated and disrespectful. What else is new? That isn't unique in this country, anymore than it is in Canada or the U.S.. You should get fired for valid reasons at an appropriate time...not a month before your contract ends, unless you have done something very serious. I saw more than 20 teachers/management come and go during my first hakwon job. To my knowledge none of them received their salary and were basically teated like cattle heading for slaughter. Gord. This is my 2nd time on line. Back to top SaraDevilJoined: 24 May 2003Location: Daegu and beyond the infinite Posted: Sun Jun 01, 2003 6:01 am Post subject: Accuracy? Essentially I agree with Gord. Many of the blacklists come from Baby Angst and grudge holding than anything else. Is there something to what a person posts on the blacklist? Absolutely. Someone felt bad, or felt they got the short end of the stick. Feeling powerless they act in the only way they can by name calling which is pretty effective. Blacklists are an excellent place to vent that final vent before moving on. A feeling of "I've been wronged and now I've done something" can be vindicated by a blacklist. What you have to consider while reading a list is this "How often have you hated a job someone else loved?" or "How often have I loved a job someone else hated?" People who post to blacklists generally hate their job and for whatever reason feel a deep need to badmouth it in public. All working people are guilty at some point of bad mouthing their job. It's work, no one likes to do it, and sometimes you get sick of it and need to vent. Most people just vent and get over it, some don't. Some need to be a little vindictive too, but that is there prerogative as well. What a blacklist says about a school is that the school, like any other work environment, has pros and cons and both should be explored. Honestly if I were seriously considering a job with a blacklisted school I would mention that in the interview as part of my questions to the school. When I came to Korea I listened as the employee praised the school every which way to Sunday for 15 minutes. After he had finished I asked him straight up "What do you hate about your job?" That lasted for about 15 minutes as well. When he was finished I asked him one more question: Would you do this job at the same place again? He said yes. That's how I knew it was a school I could work at. I could love it or hate it, but I would still feel comfortable doing the job and have no regrets. Rule of thumb, if the person interviewing you has nothing bad to say about the school (or any job) then there is probably something a little fishy and you should ask around for more information. As a rule, there is always something that someone will dislike about a job, be it the hours, the pay, the smell, the looks, the language, the copier, the bathrooms, the food, the work, etc. A person with no complaints is more questionable to me than someone with complaints. For the accuracy of the record I'm working at a school that was recently blacklisted, which I will maintain, is one of the best jobs I've ever had, and which I have just begun my second year at. Ask questions. If you don't get answers be concerned, my two cents. Back to top GirlFromMarsJoined: 15 May 2003Location: Corea do Sul Posted: Mon Jun 02, 2003 2:11 pm Post subject: As the OP I just want to add I've now been offered a job from a different school but one which has also had the occasional mention on black/grey lists but after getting (uncensored) emails from their teachers listing what they liked and DIDN'T like I'm definitely accepting (better the devil you know?). The disparaging reports I've read were almost certainly written by someone with a personal grudge and not reflective on the school as a whole. If that turns out not to be the case I'll keep you posted. But in the meantime... Read the blacklists but keep a very objective mind and talk to teachers at the school to make up your mind.

But, really, other than not advising great places to apply, the information here is really great, and I thank you all for the info on this unbelievable and risky step off the precipice of anything and everything I am familiar with.

Pictures: O'Brien elevated to Catholic cardinal
Baltimore Archbishop Edwin F. O'Brien became a cardinal early Saturday in a ceremony at St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican. Last summer, he was appointed Grand Master of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem, an ancient association that ministers in historical Palestine. Even as he prepared in Rome for the weekend ceremony that will elevate him to cardinal, O'Brien vigorously lobbied for political issues important to the Roman Catholic Church — a hallmark of his five-year stint here

North American Lynx
(Lynx canadensis)
Facts about this animal
The North American lynx is a medium-sized cat. It is clearly smaller than its Eursian cousin. Head-body length ranges from 67 to 107 cm, and the short tail is from 5 to 130 cm. Animals typically weigh between 8.5 and 17 kg. On average, males weigh slightly more than females.
Like other lynxes, the North American lynx has whiskers. The triangular ears are tipped with tufts of long black hairs. The paws are quite large and furry, helping to distribute the weight of the animal when moving on snow.
The fur of the body is long and thick. Its colour varies, but is normally yellowish-brown. The upper parts may have a frosted, grey look and the underside may be more buff. Many individuals have dark spots. The tail is often ringed and has a black tip (note: in the bobcat (Lynx rufus) only the upper side of the tip is black.
The North American lynx is a solitary animal. The vast home ranges of males and females overlap. Mating season is February and March. After a gestation period of 9 to 10 weeks, the female gives birth to a litter of 1-5, usually 2-3 kittens in fallen logs, rock cervices or similar shelter. The young have a birth weight of about 200 g. They are weaned at about 5 months but remain with their mother until the following winter's mating season. Females reach sexual maturity at 21 months and males at 33 months.
The North American lynx feeds mainly on snowshoe hares, but takes opportunistically rodens, gallinaceous birds, young or weakened ungulates, and even fish.
Did you know?
that the population size of the North American lynx is linked to the abundance of its main prey item, the snowshoe hare? The populations of the two species are known to fluctuate in linked cycles with periods of about 9.6 years. In these cycles, there is a slight lag between hare and lynx populations.

How this animal should be transported
Transport crates should be sufficiently large to meet legal requirements and sufficiently strong to prevent escape or damage to the crate and animal. Basic design should allow free flow of air through multiple sides of the container. Preferably, a double door design at least on one end of the crate should be used. The "inner" door should have bars or wire mesh to contain the animal, and the "outer" door should consist of a thin panel of expanded metal or plywood that provides safety for the handlers and isolation for the animal. The doors should travel vertically to facilitate animal transfer and contain a secure locking system. The crate should drain well, and absorbent bedding should be used to prevent the animal from being exposed to or lying in urine or excreta.
The shipment should be organised in a way to minimise stress. The animal should have access to its transport crate for 2 weeks before shipment, preferably being fed within it. If an extended trip is anticipated, water and food as may be required should be provided while the animal is in transit.
For air transport, Container Note 82 of the IATA Live Animals Regulations should be followed.

Why do zoos keep this animal
The North American lynx is globally not threatened. Zoos keep the species therefore primarily for educational reasons and for awaking sympathy for a species, which is not everywhere popular with deer hunters and occasionally may cause problems to small livestock farms. Only few animals are kept by zoo's outside the species' range states.

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...If you are looking for a festive, inexpensive entree for a special family meal, I do hope you'll give this recipe a try. The chicken can be made with cranberry juice or port wine and you'll find it is delicious whichever option you choose. The dish takes less than an hour to prepare and I think you'll really enjoy the sweet and salty notes in the sauce that's used to glaze the chicken. The sauce also works well with sliced pork tenderloin or chicken cutlets. If you are watching pennies, the cranberry option will be best for you, but I hope that at some point you'll have the opportunity to make the dish with wine and dried cherries. I guarantee that cherries simmered in this sauce will make the angels sing, and barring that, at least bring a smile or two to the faces at your table. The recipe, which comes from Eating Well magazine, is straight forward and easy to follow, and the chicken is good enough to serve for an informal company meal. Rice or couscous are the usual accompaniments for this dish, but I like to break ranks and serve the chicken with rösti or potato pancakes. Do give this one a try. If you like gutsy flavors, this Frugal Friday feature is bound to please. Here is how the chicken is made.
Chicken with Cranberry or Port Wine Glaze...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite courtesy of Eating Well magazine
1-1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup port, or cranberry juice cocktail, divided
1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil, divided
4 teaspoons minced garlic
3/4 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup dried cherries, or dried cranberries
1/4 cup sliced pitted green olives
2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1) Season chicken with salt and pepper on both sides. Place flour in a shallow dish. Add chicken and turn to coat. Measure out 4 teaspoons of flour to a small bowl and whisk in 1/4 cup port (or cranberry juice cocktail) until smooth (discard the remaining flour).
2) Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and no longer pink in the middle, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
3) Add remaining 1 teaspoon oil and garlic to pan; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add flour-port mixture, remaining 1/2 cup port (or juice), broth, dried cherries (or dried cranberries), olives, vinegar, brown sugar and oregano. Bring to a boil, stirring. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce has thickened, about 4 to 6 minutes.
4) Return chicken to pan along with any accumulated juices. Turn to coat with sauce and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes. Serve chicken with the sauce. Yield: 4 servings.

I absolutely am in love with this purchase. It has been worn a few times already and has held up great after each wash with no fading, loss of shape or pealing. This graphic works best I think against the grey I chose. Love that this artist represents the beautiful diversity of our Puerto Rican culture. This image resonates with me being that I am Puerto Rican of mostly African descent. Thank you Ida Yvette Robles for representing all of us Boricuas!

This item arrived stained and dingy. The t-shirt itself has a stain on it and the color is absolutely nothing like the photo. The product detail has my image on a white tank top; however, the tank top that arrived looks like it was washed with a bunch of brown clothes and has a dirty look to it, aside from the stain. I took a picture of a Gildan white t-shirt I own (thats been washed several times already) with the tank top I received to show how dingy the tank looks. I've opened a ticket regarding a refund or replacement on this item and still have yet to hear back from anyone. Yet again, not a good first impression for this company.

To best support the production function, which runs on planning and scheduling, the maintenance function must plan and schedule its work. Ad hoc work assignments undermine this, so issue each job assignment via work order instead. The notable exception would be in the case of an emergency or priority No. 1 repair; in such a case, a supervisor needs to walk the work order through while the work is underway.
But isn't a work order just paperwork? No, and in some facilities the work orders aren't even paper. A work order is a formal order to do specific work (thus, its name).
Today, nearly all maintenance departments use a computerized maintenance management system (CMMS). In this system, you prioritize, assign, track, and analyze maintenance work. When the work is completed, the filled-out work order provides valuable information to the CMMS.
Bypassing work orders means bypassing the CMMS. That's a sure way to plunge maintenance and production into costly chaos.

The work under the hood focussed on cleaning up the Xfce codebase, and removing old and deprecated parts. "Xfce 4.8 is our attempt to update the Xfce code base to all the new desktop frameworks that were introduced in the past few years," the Xfce development team writes, "We hope that our efforts to drop pieces like ThunarVFS and HAL with GIO, udev, ConsoleKit and PolicyKit will help bringing the Xfce desktop to modern distributions."
A major new feature is the ability to easily browse remote network shares using a whole variety of protocols, such as SFTP, SMB, FTP, and so on. If you are performing several file manipulation operations at the same time, their progress dialogs will be merged into one.
The Xfce panel has been completely re-written, with better positioning, transparency, and item and launcher management, without sacrificing compatibility with the Xfce 4.6 panel. New is a plugin which allows you to browse directories (in what I would call BeOS-style). The settings panel has also been overhauled.
"The display configuration dialog now supports RandR 1.2, detects screens automatically and allows our users to pick their favorite resolution, refresh rate, rotation," the team writes, "Screens can be configured to either work in clone mode or be placed next to each other. Keyboard selection has become easier and more user-friendly. Also, the manual settings editor has been updated be more functional."
Xfce 4.8 will make its way to your distribution of choice, but of course, you can always just go and build it yourself.

This occurs every third day, when the logging switch happens, so that the "old" /var/log/mail is going to a bz2 archive. Does anyone know what the problem is?
