[Wormlight] Radio the Universe
[Wormlight is a spotlight feature where we introduce something awesome and explain why it's worth your time]
Usually I don't do Kickstarter posts talking about why you should really think about supporting a game because that's their job. I however have been in a Zelda-like mood what with Binding of Isaac and Anodyne interviews back to back, so when I see something interesting pop up in my twitter feed from the charming Sophie Houlden of Swift+Stitch fame, I pay notice.
It was something that grabbed my attention. Maybe it will grab yours.
Radio the Universe is the new game from 6e6e6e which for all extents and purposes is a color, not a name. It's premise lies in a psychological top down puzzle game with an attempt at creating permadeath. Whether this is true or not, we'll see, but certainly the game shown looks absolutely stellar. We can see here a series of puzzles and tricky mechanisms to move past them.
In fact there is plenty to see here on the Kickstarter page. I don't know about you, but when a developer maps out level structures, character abilities, and level concepts with a vid showcasing these, I start to get the belief that the game is actually getting made regardless of the help. So I only have to look at the asking price to see if this project is worth funding. Crazy thing is, a Kickstarter project running $12,000 is pretty cheap.
That's because this funding is going to QA and full time time development costs according to the description. It's believable certainly.
Here's the reality though. The game has raised over $8,000 since I first laid eyes on it this morning. A growth curve like this leaves little doubt in my mind that it will be Kickstarted. Now it's time to see where this game will go.
A $10 buy in gets people a copy of the game with $25 netting you the planned bonus content. So it has a good pricing structure on Kickstarter.
Why this game should be getting so much appeal is because it looks to combine great pixel art, atmospheric music and a bizarre setting set inside a world inspired by Zelda. It is something that I think Zelda fans in general have been looking for for a while now. A taste of something familiar in a flashy new world that's trying to kill this hooded protagonist. The fact that it actually looks tricky only makes me want to get my hands on it that much more.
I'm not saying you should go out and send all your money to 6e6e6e, but you should look at that trailer and see if $10 to prepurchase it sounds right. It could get you a better game than what you are looking at. We're keeping our eyes on this project over at Twinfinite and hopefully it will bear something truly special. It just looks so shiny.

Publisher's Description▼▲
The general practices related to church funding arent producing the same results they have in the past. There is a general acceptance that something has changed but little talk or interest is coming from traditional church leader training sources such as denominational entities and seminaries. Pastors are largely left to their own devices to figure this out. They need a lifeline. While some churches are experiencing exponential growth, some churches - despite their best efforts - have been unsuccessful at moving beyond survival mode. Coupled with increased competition from other nonprofits and a decline in the commitment to give to the church first, churches risk losing the funding they need. A growing number of leaders are beginning to discover there is another way and are struggling to understand what makes one church generous and another not. There is a need in the market to offer a simple, working definition of generosity and reveal the secrets some church leaders seem to have simply stumbled upon which are resulting in unexplainable ministry growth and unprecedented church funding even in the midst of tough economic times. The content of this material was developed and refined by Jim Sheppard and Chris Willard through years of ministry leadership in the local church, consulting with church leaders across a broad spectrum of church settings, and through participation in and leadership of the Generous Church Leadership Community facilitated by Leadership Network. Of particular benefit will be the collection of observations and best practices gleaned during the Generous Church Leadership Community that originated within real-life church leadership situations and scenarios by highlighting specific challenges, methods, and successes.

Hopeless romantics find the love wherever it might be hiding. We know that because, like you, we fall squarely into that group. Fortunately, with this pair of heart shaped earrings the love is pretty much on full display - they are heart shaped after all. But there are two of them. Maybe they're a couple. In love. See, told you.
Paired up pear cut morganites make the heart shapes that fill the centers of these 18K rose vermeil over sterling silver studs. White zircons in rhodium accented settings line the edges of each for some added flash. Slip them on and go spread the love.
Warranty: Items will be covered for a period of one year from the invoice date. Please call 1-844-752-4825.
All weights pertaining to gemstones, including diamonds, are minimum weights. Additionally, please note that many gemstones are treated to enhance their beauty. View Gemstone Enhancements and Special Care Requirements for important information.
Vermeil Plating:
Pronounced "vermay," vermeil is an electroplating process in which 14K gold or higher is coated over sterling silver. Officially designated by the jewelry industry, items may only be sold as vermeil if they have a minimum thickness of 100 millionths of an inch (2.5 microns) of gold over the silver. Regular gold plating is less than 2.5 microns.
The "vermeil" technique of plating sterling silver with gold originated in France in the 1750s. It differs from "gold filled" or "gold plated" in terms of the thickness or thinness of the microns over sterling silver. "Gold filled" pieces have a much thicker layer, between 15 and 45 microns, which is mechanically bonded to the base metal with heat and pressure. Vermeil is a more expensive version of "gold plated". It does not wear off as quickly as gold plating does. However, over time, vermeil wears off and therefore will require re-plating.
Gold/Platinum Embraced Silver or Bronze:
Our platinum and gold embraced collections feature layers of platinum or gold over sterling silver or bronze for a lustrous, radiant finish everywhere you look and touch.
To care for your plated jewelry items:
Morganite is the soft pink, sometimes peach or lavender colored, variety of beryl. Often referred to as "pink beryl," morganite has been called "pink emerald" and "pink aquamarine" to emphasize the kinship to its popular cousins. The pastel gem is colored by trace amounts of manganese in the crystal structure. It has excellent fire and is dichroic, meaning it shows pink hues when viewed from one angle and near colorless properties from another. Almost all morganite is heat-treated to produce or enhance the pink color. Lower quality morganite occurs in colors ranging from a peach-orange to a pinkish-yellow, but once it's heat-treated, the color changes to a beautiful soft pink.
First discovered in Madagascar in 1911, morganite was named after the American banker and gem enthusiast, John Pierpont Morgan. Legend says that he went down with the Titanic, but Morgan actually missed the doomed maiden voyage and died the following year in Rome, just shy of his 76th birthday. While morganite can be found in Mozambique, Namibia, Afghanistan, Russia and the United States, the finest morganites come from Madagascar and Brazil. In fact, the largest faceted morganite came from Madagascar. It is a 598.70ct cushion-shaped stone residing in the British Museum.
Morganite's hardness ranks 7.5-8.0 on the Mohs Scale. With its dazzling luster, exquisite color and sufficient hardness, the stone is especially suitable for jewelry. Unfortunately, morganite is relatively rare. This fact alone prevents it from achieving greater popularity as a jewelry gem.
Earring Back Types
Butterfly Back: A double looped piece resembling a butterfly that fits over a post. Variations on this design are called push back clasps. The basic post and butterfly back are usually used for stud earrings and lighter weight drop earrings.
Hinged Snap Backs: This clasp features a hinged post that snaps into a groove on the back of the earring. It is commonly found on hoops. Sometimes the hinged post is curved to provide more room to fit around the ear, sometimes called a saddleback.
Hook Backs: This earring backing is simply a long, bent post that fits through the piercing. Hooks have several variations, most notably the shepherd's hook and the French hook. While thin wire hooks reduce the weight of long earrings, making them more comfortable, they aren't as secure as other clasp styles.
Lever Back: A hinged lever snaps shut against the curved post to form a closed loop around the ear lobe. This clasp is very secure and good for large or medium sized styles that drop just below the ear.
Omega: Also called French clips, this clasp has a straight post and a looped lever. The hinged lever closes around the post and is held against the ear with pressure. The omega clasp is the most secure clasp, especially for the larger, heavier earrings.
Screw back: This backing is a slight variation of the standard post and butterfly nut back. Instead of pushing on the back, the nut twists onto the threaded post. A screw back post design is often preferred for expensive diamond stud earrings that require increased security.

Genamics JournalSeek
Journal of Corporate Citizenship, The
J Corp Citizen
Published/Hosted by Greenleaf Publishing.
The Journal of Corporate Citizenship focuses explicitly on integrating theory about corporate citizenship with management practice. This means that the journal provides a forum in which the tensions and practical realities of making corporate citizenship real are addressed in a reader-friendly, yet conceptually and empirically rigorous format. The Journal of Corporate Citizenship (JCC ) aims to publish the best ideas integrating the theory and practice of corporate citizenship in a format that is readable, accessible, engaging, interesting and useful for readers in business, consultancy, government, NGOs and academia. This peer-reviewed journal encourages practical, theoretically sound, and (when relevant) empirically rigorous manuscripts that address real-world implications of corporate citizenship in global and local contexts. Topics related to corporate citizenship can include (but are not limited to): corporate responsibility, stakeholder relationships, public policy, sustainability and environment, human and labour rights/issues, governance, accountability and transparency, globalisation, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as multinational firms, ethics, measurement, and specific issues related corporate citizenship, such as diversity, poverty, education, information, trust, supply chain management, and problematic or constructive corporate/human behaviours and practices. In addition to articles linking the theory and practice of corporate citizenship, JCC also encourages innovative or creative submissions (for peer review). Innovative submissions can highlight issues of corporate citizenship from a critical perspective, enhance practical or conceptual understanding of corporate citizenship, or provide new insights or alternative perspectives on the realities of corporate citizenship in todays world. Innovative submissions might include: critical perspectives and controversies, photography, essays, poetry, drama, reflections, and other innovations that help bring corporate citizenship to life for management practitioners and academics alike. A key feature is the Turning Points section. Turning Points are commentaries, controversies, new ideas, essays and insights that we hope will be provocative and engaging, raise the important issues of the day and provide observations on what is too new yet to be the subject of empirical and theoretical studies.

Visit Campus
The campus visit is one of the most important parts of the college search process. After all, how will you know where you want to spend the next four years without seeing the campus and meeting the people? We invite you to experience Gustavus through an individual visit or on one of our group, open-house style visit events. We know scheduling visits can be challenging, so we offer plenty of options:
- Individual Campus Visits
- An individual campus visit is the best way to learn more about Gustavus. You'll sit down for a personal appointment with an admission counselor and get a student-led campus tour. During the summer, we try our best to accommodate requests for appointments with faculty and coaches, but this isn't always possible due to scheduling. Throughout the academic year, you are able to meet with professor, coach, or conductor, and even sit in on a class!
- Virtual Campus Tour
- Can't make it to campus, or want to take a second look at our facilitiesand what Gustavus has to offer? Check out our interactive virtual tour!
- Visit Events
- You're invited to one of our visit events— group visit days that will give you a great preview of our facilities, programs, and people. You'll see a campus that's all about helping you make your life count.
- Saturday Visits
- Our office is open on select Saturday mornings during the academic year. A Saturday visit includes a presentation from an admission counselor and a student-led campus tour. Students looking for a more in-depth visit are encouraged to visit on a weekday.
- Visiting Overnight
- Whether you live a half-hour away from Gustavus or halfway around the world, an overnight visit in our residence halls can allow you to experience much more of Gustavus life than a regular daytime visit. Our overnight coordinators will match you with a host who will show you around campus, introduce you to other Gusties, bring you to activities, and allow you to participate in regular campus life (this may include a late-night run to the caf for pizza or ice cream).
- Virtual Appointment
- Do you live far away? Can't make it to campus? No problem! Make a virtual appointment with a counselor to video chat. Contact your admission counselor today to schedule an appointment.
- Fly-in Program
- We want you to visit Gustavus! It's the best way to make your college choice. After you walk around and talk to a couple of Gusties, you'll get the feeling that you belong. This could be your new home. Gustavus is what a college campus should look and feel like. See for yourself.
- High School Group Visit (AVID, TRIO, School groups, etc.)
- If you are a high school counselor or teacher who would like to arrange a group visit to Gustavus, please fill out this registration form and an admission representative will contact you directly. Please note that we can only accommodate groups of up to fifty students who are currently in grades 9-12. Group visits are only available Tuesday-Thursday. October, November, and March are typically busy times in the Admission Office, so we prefer to schedule group visits at other times of the year.

THE EFFECTS OF WHOLE BODY VIBRATION EXERCISE ON METABOLIC SYSTEMS IN OVERWEIGHT LATINO BOYS by David Ned James Erceg A Dissertation Presented to the FACULTY OF THE USC GRADUATE SCHOOL UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (BIOKINESIOLOGY) August 2011 Copyright 2011 David Ned James Erceg

|With an increasing childhood obesity epidemic, efficient methods of exercise are sought to improve health. Vibration training has been in use for decades to improve strength and flexibility, however little is known about the metabolic effects from whole body vibration (WBV) exercise. We sought to determine if WBV exercise can improve insulin/glucose dynamics, lipid profile, body composition, leg strength and power in sedentary overweight Latino boys. Twenty overweight prepubertal Latino boys 8-10 years of age were randomly assigned to either a control (CON = 9, 9.1±0.9 yr, 57.8±18.5 kg) or 3 days per week WBV exercise (VIB = 11, 9.0±0.9 yr, 45.7±7.8 kg) for 10 weeks. Assessments were performed at baseline and 48 hours post last training session to avoid any confounding acute effects of exercise. Glucose/insulin indices were determined through an oral glucose tolerance test. Body composition was assessed using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry. Physical performance was assessed using a Keiser leg press machine for strength and the Bassey Leg-extension Rig for power. Comparisons of changes within and between groups for variables of interest were conducted using t tests and general linear model (p<0.05). Interestingly, there was a significant decrease in fasting glucose (p=0.04), triglycerides (p=0.02), and VLDL cholesterol (p=0.02), while leg press (p<0.05) and power (p<0.05) increased for the CON group. Significant increases in total lean mass (p<0.05), bone mineral density (p<0.05), leg press (p<0.05) and power (p<0.05) were observed for the VIB group when compared to baseline values. Between groups analyses revealed the CON group significantly lowered VLDL cholesterol (p=0.02) and triglycerides (p=0.02) compared to the WBV exercise group. The VIB group significantly increased total lean mass (p<0.01) compared to the CON group. These data suggest a controlled 10 wk WBV exercise program may not be effective for altering fasting insulin and glucose, insulin resistance, or lipids in prepubertal Latino boys. However a 10-week intervention may alter body composition in overweight boys primarily by increasing total lean mass.

Etarnacept / ENBREL ELISA
Etarnacept / ENBREL is a fusion protein produced by recombinant DNA. It fuses the TNF receptor to the constant end of the IgG1 antibody. First, the developers isolated the DNA sequence that codes the human gene for soluble TNF receptor 2, which is a receptor that binds to tumor necrosis factor-alpha. Second, they isolated the DNA sequence that codes the human gene for the Fc end of immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1). It has U.S. F.D.A. approval to treat rheumatoid, juvenile rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis, plaque psoriasis and ankylosing spondylitis.
Intended Use: Etarnacept / ENBREL ELISA is a rapid and easy method for the quantitative determination of Etanercept in human serum, plasma and cell culture supernatant. The kit has been validated with Enbrel® injection. The Etanercept is for research use only. Not for diagnostic or therapeutic procedures.
Principle: The method employs the quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique. Antibodies to Etanercept are pre-coated onto microwells. Samples and standards are pipetted into microwells and human Etanercept present in the sample are bound by the capture antibody. Then, an anti Human IgG-HRP (horseradish peroxidase) antibody is pipetted and incubated with samples. After washing microwells in order to remove any non-specific binding, the ready to use substrate solution (TMB) is added to microwells and color develops proportionally to the amount of Etanercept 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.
KRISHGEN BIOSYSTEMS is a leading manufacturer of immunoassay kits including ELISA. KRISHGEN has over 200 publications and citations to its credit which speaks of its quality and accuracy. Leaders in many areas of research, ELISAs manufactured by KRISHGEN are used for quality research and reproducibility at competitive prices. Diverse product range includes ELISA for diagnostics, cytokines, biopharmaceuticals, HCP, downstream contamination, PK studies for Mabs, immunogenicity, vaccine, animal health testing, plant pathology, GMO and food safety.

PASADENA, Calif. (AP) Stepfan Taylor rushed for 142 yards and two touchdowns, Kevin Hogan passed for 160 yards and another score, and No. 11 Stanford beat No. 15 UCLA 35-17 Saturday to win the Pacific-12 Conference North title and a rematch with the Bruins in the conference championship game.
The Cardinal (10-2, 8-1 Pac-12) found out about 10 minutes before the opening kickoff that No. 5 Oregon (11-1, 8-1) had beaten No. 16 Oregon State 48-24, meaning they had to win to qualify for another shot at UCLA - a game Stanford will host next Friday.
The Cardinal, who have three straight 10-win seasons for the first time, handed Oregon a 17-14 overtime setback last weekend to put themselves in position to win the Pac-12 North title with a victory over the Pac-12 South champion Bruins (9-3, 6-3), who earned their berth in the title game by beating Southern California 38-28 last weekend.
The win was the sixth straight for Stanford and their fourth in a row over UCLA, which had a five-game winning streak snapped - its longest in seven years.
Taylor, a 5-foot-11, 215-pound senior who carried 20 times, didn't play in the fourth quarter. He raised his career rushing total to 4,134 yards and will need 36 yards in the rematch with UCLA to break the Stanford career rushing record of 4,169 yards set by Darrin Nelson in 1977-81.
Hogan, a redshirt freshman making his third start at quarterback for Stanford, completed 15 of 22 passes without being intercepted and was sacked twice. He has guided the Cardinal to wins over three straight ranked opponents, something they had never accomplished before.
Brett Hundley, UCLA's redshirt freshman quarterback, was 20-of-38 for 261 yards and a TD with one interception while being sacked seven times, and Johnathan Franklin, the Bruins' leading career rusher, was held to 65 yards on 21 carries. Stanford entered ranked second nationally in sacks and rushing defense.
UCLA was held to 334 yards of total offense while Stanford gained 381 yards overall.
Leading 21-10, the Cardinal broke the game open by scoring twice in a 13-second span midway through the third quarter. Taylor scored on a 1-yard run four plays after Jordan Richards intercepted Hundley's pass at the UCLA 42-yard line, and Alex Debniak forced a fumble by Kenneth Walker on the ensuing kickoff and Usua Amanam returned it 11 yards for another TD.
Franklin's 11-yard TD late in the third quarter cut Stanford's lead to 18 points, and it appeared the Bruins got another shot early in the fourth quarter on Jordan Zumwalt's interception in Cardinal territory, but it was nullified by a defensive holding penalty.
Stanford's Jordan Williamson hit the crossbar on a 45-yard field goal attempt with 9:46 remaining, but the Bruins lost the ball on downs after getting as far as the Stanford 38. UCLA reached the Cardinal 14 before turning the ball over on downs again with 2:30 left.
Perhaps inspired by the knowledge that Oregon had won, Stanford moved 75 yards on 12 plays after receiving the opening kickoff for a 7-0 lead, scoring on an 11-yard pass from Hogan to Drew Terrell.
The Bruins needed only two minutes to tie it, getting a 13-yard touchdown pass from Hundley to Joseph Fauria three plays after Hundley hooked up with Shaquelle Evans on a 71-yard pass play. The 6-foot-7 Fauria has 11 TD receptions this season.
UCLA moved to the Cardinal 38 late in the first quarter before Hundley's pooch punt on fourth-and-3 was downed at the Stanford 1. The Bruins forced a punt, but couldn't take advantage of the good field position and had to punt as well.
Stanford then moved 88 yards on 10 plays for a 14-7 lead, scoring on a 10-yard run by Anthony Wilkerson, and the Cardinal scored again less than two minutes later on a 49-yard run by Taylor.
UCLA got a break late in the second quarter when Stanford punter Daniel Zychlinski couldn't handle a low snap from center and was hit before getting the kick off, setting up a career-best 48-yard field goal by freshman Ka'imi Fairbairn with 1:37 left before halftime, making it 21-10. UCLA didn't get a first down in the second period.
The game, played before a crowd of 68,228 at the Rose Bowl, was the first between the schools in which both were ranked among the Top 25 since 2001, when No. 20 Stanford beat No. 24 UCLA 38-28.

10 Best Old Cheap Cars
Here are the 10 best old cheap cars. While a brand new car might be a fresh and shiny way of flaunting money, they suffer from a huge depreciation hit the second you drop them off the lot. There is just something special about an old cheap car. Sure they require more maintenance and they don't exactly exude success, but sometimes you just want a beater car that is fun to drive and you don't have to worry about where you park it. The best old cheap cars are all known for their reliability and some even offer a bit of driving fun.
- Honda CR-X. This hot hatchback boasts Honda reliability and is actually a lot of fun to drive due to it's low curb weight that barely tops 2,000 pounds. Essentially this is a street-legal go-kart that is cheap to maintain.
- Toyota Corolla (E80). The fifth-generation Corolla was made from 1983 through 1987 and is one of the best cheap old cars, as it was made during the peak of Toyota's reliability. While future Corollas improved upon safety and offered more creature comforts, this vehicle keeps it real and has very few doo-hickeys to break.
- Chevrolet Blazer S-10. A mid-side SUV from when mid-size still meant mid-size. This vehicle was always living in the shadow of the more successful Ford Explorer, but the 4.3 Liter V-6 engine in the S-10 Blazer is virtually bombproof making it one of the best old cheap cars you can find.
- Honda del-Sol. This mid-90s targa-top vehicle can be had for as little as a few thousand dollars and parts are readily available as it was based on the venerable Honda Civic architecture.
- Ford Mustang (SN-95). It's a Ford, so parts are cheap and easily available for the mid-90's iteration of this pony car. This sports car makes the list of best cheap old cars if for no other reason than it looks rather exotic, as well. This car is the trashy blonde at the bar: Cheap, fast and fun just watch yourself under the hood as you could feel a burning sensation.
- Pontiac Fiero. Pontiac's little mid-engine experiment did not work out to well for them, but their loss is your gain. You can own one of the best old cheap cars for as little as two thousand dollars and you can be sure that you will have the only one in your neighborhood.
- Toyota MR-2. The first-generation of this Toyota sports car is about as 1980s as they come. Toyota used to make cars that were fun to drive and this contender for the title of best old cheap cars proves this point. How did they go from this little racing monster to the jelly bean shaped Camry of today and that annoying little brat from the Highlander commercial? Toyota is the new GM, so buy vintage.
- Jeep Cherokee. These boxy SUVs can be had for next to nothing nowadays and they remind us of everything an SUV should be: practical and rugged.
- Volvo 240. The ubiquitous quasi-yuppie car of the 1980s is now one of the best old cheap cars you can find. These things also run forever.
- Yugo. The Yugo entered the American car market in the late 1980s as the cheapest vehicle available. While these cars are not known for reliability, they are based on the Fiat 128, making parts readily available. Why is this one of the best old cheap cars you may ask? It is an original choice and you will probably be the only person in your area to own one.

Deputy Solicitor General Savenaca Banuve was sacked today by the military junta for refusing to defend cases pending against the interim administration.
Intelligentsiya sources confirm that Mr Banuve was given an ultimatum about handling cases brought by ousted Prime Minister Laisenia Qarase and two members of the Great Council of Chiefs.
We understand that Mr Banuve replied that his lawyers would not handle those cases as they already had a heavy load and that, secondly, it was their viewpoint that the current regime was illegal.
The cases Mr Banuve rejected now falls to senior legal officers and our sources tell us there may well be an exodus of lawyers who refuse to do it on the principle that the junta is illegal anyway.
An email sent to Mr Banuve's official government address this afternoon was returned as undeliverable.
However, sources within several of the government's legal divisions confirmed Mr Banuve's sacking.

How Workplace Bullies Get Ahead
It can pay to be a bully.
In a rather disheartening study, a team of researchers led by Darren C. Treadway, of the University at Buffalo School of Management, found that many workplace bullies receive positive evaluations from their supervisors and achieve high levels of career success, despite organizational efforts to curtail bullying.
The researchers sought to study the relationship between workplace bullying and job performance. They collected behavioral and job-performance data from 54 employees of a U.S. health-care firm, and found a strong correlation between bullying, positive job evaluations and social and political skill in the workplace.
The study defines workplace bullying as "systematic aggression and violence targeted towards one or more individuals by one individual or by a group."
The researchers found that many bullies thrive by charming their supervisors and manipulating others to help them get ahead, even while they abuse their co-workers. Because many bullies can "possess high levels of social ability," they are "able to strategically abuse co-workers and yet be evaluated positively by their supervisor," the authors write.
"If people are politically skilled, they can do bad things really well," says Dr. Treadway.
(Political skill, Dr. Treadway says, is "the ability to effectively understand others at work and to use such knowledge to influence others to act in ways that enhance one's personal and/or organizational objectives.")
The study notes that workplace bullying is prevalent: About half of all U.S. employees have witnessed workplace bullying and more than a third have been the target of bullying, according to past research.
The researchers suggest that firms assess civility and camaraderie as part of performance and help staff develop skills to manage bullies.
The study was published earlier this year in the Journal of Managerial Psychology.

Boat capsizes near Midpoint Bridge
A capsized boat in the Caloosahatchee sent five people overboard! We got the moment-by-moment account of how the five Lee County workers made it to dry land.
It happened near the Midpoint Bridge at lunchtime. It was a dramatic scene with thousands of witnesses.
This 15-foot Boston Whaler capsized and sent the 5 people on board into the water.
Scott Neilsen, with his iPhone in hand, captured the aftermath. He had photos of the boaters in the water and video of the boat belly-up.
His boat was too small to take on more passengers. So he made sure everyone in the water was OK and called for help.
"I did something anybody else would do. I don't call it being a Good Samaritan because I was just making sure people was OK," Neilsen said. "They said they was all OK."
The Lee County Sheriff's Office says the wake from a cigarette boat actually caused the 15-foot Whaler to flip.
The cigarette boat also came back to help. But whether any of the boaters did anything wrong to cause this remains to be seen.
The five people on board were workers for the Lee County Department of Transportation doing maintenance on the Midpoint Bridge.
Ultimately, it took a barge and a crew of men from Lee County about an hour to flip the boat and tow it back to shore.

Tour Lisbon Sites While Staying in a Modern Four-Star Hotel
Archaeologists believe that in the first millennium BC—long before Paris, Rome, and London were even on the map—Lisbon was a trading post for the ancient Phoenicians, who probably passed through on ships to trade with inland tribes. The city has been a favorite port of call for travelers ever since. There's a timeless quality to many of Lisbon's most noteworthy attractions, from the narrow hilltop streets of the Bairro Alto district to the Moorish castles that overlook the Atlantic Ocean.
The Rundown
On this trip from SATA, you'll stay just outside the city center at the Hotel Açores Lisboa. This deal includes six nights of hotel accommodations. Round-trip airfare is available out of Boston (BOS), New York (LGA), Philadelphia (PHL), Washington, DC (DCA), Los Angeles (LAX), or San Francisco (SFO).
Stay in a Four-Star Hotel Steps from a World-Class Art Museum
Located about a 20-minute walk northwest of downtown, Hotel Açores Lisboa has modern accommodations close to the heart of the city. Chic guest rooms are equipped with satellite TV and WiFi. There's an onsite restaurant and bar that serves regional dishes and a breakfast buffet.
Just a few minutes' walk from the hotel, you can find the sprawling Calouste Gulbenkian Museum and its picturesque gardens. The art museum contains a world-class collection of ancient and modern pieces from painters such as Rembrandt, Renoir, and Monet.
Moorish Castles, Hilltop Views, and Historic Sites
Lisbon is known as "The City of Seven Hills," and there are plenty of nice vantage points for scoping out the broad cityscape and the adjacent Rio Tejo, or Tagus River. Right on the Rio Tejo is a UNESCO World Heritage site and bastion of the city since 1515, the ornate Belém Tower, with its white Moorish-style architecture. While you're here, it's also worth visiting the Jerónimos Monastery, another World Heritage site with sculpted columns depicting sea monsters and coral.
For a day trip, try finding your way to Sintra, located just outside of town. Brightly colored palaces, Moorish castles, and world-class beaches decorate the charming seaside village.

Atys is a world its inhabitants call the "Planet Tree". It is a living globe with no rocks, minerals, metals or other inert materials. The resident species are called Homins. Each is a humanoid type genetically adapted to one of the planet's environments. The Trykers live for play, seeking the free wind and clear water, wanting nothing to do with laws and powers. The Fyros are the warriors and Fire Masters, the only ones who can manipulate it. Their society rests on a strict code of honor and a common goal, protecting Atys and her peoples from their greatest enemy.
The Matis are elegant, refined and decadent, the aristocrats and tremendously skilled biologists whose weapons, armor and even familiar household items are alive, and the Zorais are the mystics who live in unusual magnetic communities, their powers shrouded in secrecy. The Saga of Ryzom is Parisian studio Nevrax' intriguing persistent state project set in this highly imaginative science fantasy environment. Thanks to the developer, we've been following the title, which is set to be published in Europe by Wanadoo's GOA portal division, for some time. Today, we continue our ongoing series of glimpses into this unusual online world.

Comedy troupe Monty Python announced earlier this year what is said to be their final live performances — and the first round of dates sold out within hours. With more dates added, the final show for "Pythons Live," at London's O2 Arena on July 20 is also selling quite briskly.
But it's not the first time the troupe has put on a farewell tour:
Talking to Greg James on Radio 1 yesterday, Michael Palin said: "It'll probably be the last time we go on stage together again… until the next one. When we did our first tour we called it the First Farewell Tour, so you can't believe us at all. But seriously, there are no plans to do any more, we've all got other stuff to do. It'll be the last one for a very long time – probably 2050. (read more at The Guardian)
Aside from announcing their "final ever" show, Python also released its first new work in nearly 15 years, The Silly Walks Song:

IBM P2601 May, 2000 By: Art Liddle,Ron LaFon
21" Monitors Reviewed
Star rating: 5 stars out of 5
The IBM P260 monitor catches the eye immediately with its sleek, stealth black (or pearl white), compact design and crisp, bright display. The P260 measures 19.6" wide, 19.9" tall, and only 20" deep. The viewing area is 19.8". This monitor supports resolutions of up to 1920X1440 at 75Hz and has a crisp 0.24 dot pitch. At 70.6lb, the P260 is not the lightest monitor we tested in this roundup. A standard D-sub connector is pro-vided, as is a digital DVI connector, both mounted vertically so you can position the monitor close to a wall.
Like many high-quality displays, the IBM P260 monitor is based on a CRT that uses FD Trinitron technology. As is typical with aperture-grille tubes, the shadow of two thin damper wires crosses the display horizontally. Some people find this characteristic annoying, but it has never been a problem for me in practical use. The P260's screen is remarkably flat and has excellent no-glare coatings.
The IBM P260 monitor sports a relatively small array of controls below the front bezel of the display. Here you'll find a reset button, an autosizing and centering button, an input switch (it supports two video import channels), two brightness buttons (up and down), a menu button, two contrast buttons (left and right), and a power switch and indicator. These most-used controls operate in conjunction with a very crisp and well-designed on-screen menu.
The P260 monitor turned in excellent scores on the CADALYST test suite. Both brightness and contrast are excellent, producing a very crisp image. Likewise, the P260 earned excellent scores on our tests for geometry and focus. Colors were crisp and clean, with a slight tendency toward blue. Reds tended slightly toward the orange, but not objectionably so. Altogether, the P260 is an excellent monitor, especially at the price of $1,059. Highly Recommended. R.L.

42nd Street Forever: Blu-ray Edition (US - BD)
Gabe is blinded by nearly four hours of 1080p exploitation movie trailers...
Synapse Films continues making a name for themselves as the go-to place for exploitation movie trailer collections on home video. After releasing six volumes of their 42nd Street Forever collections, and one Nikkatsu Roman Porno collection, Synapse has moved onto the next generation format, and are now presenting their special brand of filth in full HD video. This new Blu-ray release is a mash-up of volumes one and two, with a few 'new' trailers tossed in for good measure. Things are once again cut into genre and subgenre types, starting with blaxsploitation favourites like Black Samson, Savage!, Kenner[/h], [I]The Guy From Harlem, Welcome Home, Brother Charles (aka: Soul Vengeance), Boss Nigger, Honky and Sugar Hill. Up next are general, non-race specific revenge and chicksploitation flicks, including Rolling Thunder, Act of Vengeance (aka: Rape Squad), Ms. 45, They Call Her One Eye (aka: Thriller: A Cruel Picture), Ginger and Savage Sisters, followed by WIP (women in prison), roughie and general sexploitation comedies, including Chained Heat, Delinquent School Girls, The Pom Pom Girls, The Teasers Go to Paris, The Teacher, College Girls, [I]Street Girls, The Baby Sitter, Teenage Mother, I, A Woman, When Women Had Tails, The Curious Female, The Tale of the Dean's Wife, and The Minx. From here things briefly segue into sexploitation thrillers like The Centerfold Girls, Depraved (aka: Exposed and Diary of a Rape), Invitation to Ruin, but then take a sharp turn into sex hygiene and sex educationsploitation with Helga, The Sun, The Place and the Girls, and back into straight sexploitation comedy with Fairytales, Flesh Gordon.
Flesh Gordon gives the producers a good excuse to movie into B sci-fi/action like Star Crash and Dark Star (which is sold as a straight thriller, not a comedy), Raiders of Atlantis, Matango (aka: Attack of the Mushroom People), The Green Slime, They Came From Beyond Space, The Deadly Spawn, The Dark, and eventually into straight horror with The Evil, The Evictors, The Undertaker and His Pals, Devil's Nightmare (aka: Vampire Playgirls), Deadly Blessing, Rabid, Eye of the Cat, Mark of the Witch, I Dismember Mama/ Blood Spattered Bride double feature (utterly obnoxious faux TV news report), Women and Bloody Terror/ Night of Bloody Horror double feature, Dr. Butcher M.D. (aka: Zombie Holocaust, a personal favourite), The Grim Reaper (aka: Anthropopagus), Dr. Tarr's Torture Dungeon (aka: The Mansion of Madness), and Wicked, Wicked (sold mostly for its duovision projection).
The Flesh and Blood Show kicks off a series of 3D and panoramic 70mm exploitation movies, including The Three Dimensions of Greta, The Lollipop Girls in Hard Candy and Panorama Blue, which leads into a series of '70s softcore and hardcore trailers (no hardcore is shown), including The Italian Stallion, Maid in Sweden and Pornography in Denmark. Things then get especially heavy and grotesque with mondo film trailers like Secret Africa, Shocking Asia and Taboos of the World, then trippy and arthouse with Chappaqua, Salo: The 120 Days of Sodom. Poliziotteschi (Italian crime), Euro-spy and cockney gangster flicks are next, including The .44 Specialist (aka: Mark Strikes Again), The Bullet Machine, Death Drive (aka: Hitch-Hike), Spy in Your Eye, Kiss the Girls and Make Them Die and The Last of the Secret Agents. The action theme continues with a series of kung-fu and samurai trailers including The Crippled Masters, Shogun Assassin and Super Manchu, bikersploitation, cruising and comedy action films like The Born Losers, Hell's Angels on Wheels (staring a young Jack Nicholson), Wind Fast, The Pink Angels, Werewolves on Wheels, Dixie Dynamite, Mr. Billion, Super Fuzz, Sunset Cove and Van Nuys Blvd.. Everything creeps to an end with the skatesploitation 'classic' Skatetown USA (keep your eyes peeled for a flash of young Patrick Swayze).
At nearly four hours this collection is a bit overwhelming, but these are generally the cream of the crop exploitation trash trailers, which would explain why Synapse used so many of them in their first two releases. Personally, I'm almost always bored by the teen sex comedy and fratsploitation junk that goes along with these collections, but only because I generally find the subgenres patience trying. I prefer my period exploitation a little more unintentionally funny, or funny for the sake of camp rather than bawdy jokes. Fortunately for me there isn't a lot of time wasted on such stuff, especially not stuff from the uncommonly unfunny 1980s. The sexploitation stuff kind of blends together into a numbing wall of flesh, but I'm not one to complain too much about nude female bodies. Just make sure you know your audience before you start this thing up.
I'm going to be honest and say the quality of these trailers is generally low enough that most viewers aren't going to notice the difference between this new, full 1080p HD Blu-ray release and the previous 480 SD DVD releases, but I assure you there are improvements, in general detail and colour vibrancy especially. There are oodles of film-based artefacts including heavy, inconsistent grain, tracking lines, dirt, blotchy stains, cigarette burns, but these are all kind of beautiful, and really half the fun of viewing the material. There's no good reason for Synapse to spend thousands digitally cleansing these trailers if Quentin Tarantino, Robert Rodriguez, Edgar Wright, Rob Zombie and Eli Roth are spending thousands to artificially damage their homage trailers, right? The bigger issue is contrast and colour quality, which varies from not bad to unwatchable mud. Some trailers actually look quite good ( Ms. 45, Chained Heat, Matango, Shocking Asia), but most of the time I'm just happy to tell what's going on, which is sometimes impossible given unrelenting darkness or extremely blown-out white levels. There's also a noticeable lack of digital compression artefacts, and generally sharper details to boot. The bulk of the trailers are framed at 1.78:1 widescreen, which is obviously inaccurate for some films based on the head and side space, but yet again this usually just adds to the charm.
The soundtrack generally follows the picture quality, and is again a minor upgrade from standard DVD. Everything is presented in DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 Mono, and the language is almost exclusively English with a few brief exceptions. The general quality differs from trailer to trailer with only a handful of major issues that do anything to ruin the experience. For the most part pops and crackles are present, but not exactly extreme, the mono mixes are a bit flat, but sharp enough to differentiate music, vocals and effects, and the beginnings and ending of each clip show the most overall damage. What's nice about this release is that high-end distortion is less an issue, and the general volume levels are more consistent.
The only extra on this set is a commentary track with AVManiacs.com (formerly DVDManiacs.com) editor Edwin Samuelson, Fangoria managing editor Michael Gingold, and Temple of Schlock blog editor Chris Poggiali. These same good folks also recorded tracks for the Exploitation Explosion and Volume Four DVD releases I've previously reviewed, and this track is another solid showing from the well prepped and charming team. Every single trailer in this epic collection gets its own behind the scenes story and production history, which can get a little intense, but the team rarely falls too far behind, and there's a pause button on your remote if you need to take a breather. My only complaint has to do with the sound quality of the track, which is a little rough.
The ideal environment for these 42nd Street trailer collections is not a quiet night alone, but a rowdy night with friends, fueled by junk food, caffeinated and alcoholic beverages. It's the perfect background video because no one has to really pay attention to keep up. Just be aware that this wall of silliness (mondo movies notwithstanding) may suck attention away from quality conversation, and may induced hooting, hollering and hysterics that will wake the neighbors. This Blu-ray collection doesn't feature a lot of new material not already available on the first two 42nd Street DVD collections, but you can now watch for a solid three hours and 45 minutes without changing out discs, and despite the rough condition of most of the footage, the HD video does look genuinely better, or at least closer to what you'd see from a genuine 35mm screening (meaning no major digital artefacts).

This looks pretty fun. Never did see the old DVD sets, so I may just pick it up if I spot it for a decent price.

Much has been made of Team Sky's launch and their subsequent start to the season in Australia, and the bike that carried the British squad to glory in last Sunday's Cancer Council Helpline Classic befits the excitement.
The Pinarello Dogma 60.1 team bike seen here is that of 22-year-old sprinter Ben Swift, the former track rider from Rotherham who moved to Sky from Russian squad Katusha earlier this year.
Based around the Italian marque's flagship frame, which is adorned with the usual swoops and strange tube shapes, it's one of the best-looking and most well-equipped rigs in the peloton.
As befits Team Sky's cutting-edge approach to preparation, marketing and presentation, the technology found on this bike is impressive. The best of everything and the latest in racing and training equipment has made its way onto the squad's machines.
The spec includes an SRM power meter – the all-new PowerControl 7 unit – plus prototype Shimano Dura-Ace 7810 composite pedals and prototype C50 composite tubular wheels. These complement the complete Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 groupset – Sky are one of several teams at this year's Tour Down Under to run the electronic shifting system.
Initial PowerControl units were tested by Mark Cavendish and George Hincapie at last year's Tour de France, and the British super squad have their riders measuring power through the German company's latest.
The pedals are almost completely constructed from composite material, save for the small alloy plate. There's no word about production as yet, but watch this space for news on when to expect them on the market.
The same applies to the wheelset – there's still no word on the likelihood of these hoops going into production. They're an impressive-looking wheel, though, and both the 50mm and 35mm versions have proven popular with professional teams during the 2009 season and into 2010.
While the Di2 gruppo hasn't been spotted on many production bikes, it has been increasingly adopted by Shimano-sponsored teams as part of the promotion and continued testing process – a second generation of the Japanese company's flagship groupset may make an appearance sometime this year or next.
Swift's down tube features the Latin phrase "Is Qui Est Est Is Qui Non Est Consectatur" which apparently translates to: "He who is, is. He who is not, seeks (or perseveres)." Nice.

I have just found a fascinating, if rather gruesome, article concerning Dr Hugh Dewar. Many of you will know that a fountain dedicated to his memory and subscribed to by 'grateful patients' stands in Abercorn Park.
Jane Anderson had no reason to be grateful to Dr Dewar.

The Brevard Lady Blue Devils have been wanting a third shot at Pisgah, and now they've got it.
BREVARD — The Brevard Lady Blue Devils have been wanting a third shot at Pisgah, and now they've got it.
Aquaisha Avery led off Friday's third-round 2-A state playoffs with a solo home run, and freshman pitcher Casey Gilbert shut down the Bandys' offense, as the Lady Devils won 3-1 to advance to Tuesday's 2-A state quarterfinals.
Their opponent will be Pisgah (18-4-1), which narrowly defeated Brevard twice this year.
"The one good thing about our next opponent is that we already know our next opponent ... very well," Brevard coach David McNeill said. "I think we'll have something for them."
The last time the two met was on May 2 at Pisgah, and the Lady Black Bears won 1-0. The other meeting was back in early April in Brevard, a game Pisgah won 6-2.
The Lady Blue Devils have put those two losses behind them as they continue to make school history with every win. They are now 21-3, and Gilbert is a major reason. She upped her record to 18-3 on Friday after going seven innings and allowing a run off six hits with seven strikeouts and three walks.
She had a stellar defense to back her up. Three standout plays were third baseman Kayla Byrd's snag of a sharp grounder to rob a hit, right fielder Micheala Harbin's rundown of a pop foul that she caught as she ran into the fence and catcher Jacksie Owen's pop fly catch at the fence behind home.
The Lady Blue Devils, the WNC Athletic Conference No. 2 seed, got all their runs in the first inning, with the two other runs coming in thanks to throwing errors by the Lady Trojans.
Four Brevard hitters had multiple hits: Avery (2-for-4, home run, RBI), McKenzie McNeil (2-for-3), Katie Finnan (2-for-3) and Harbin (2-for-3).
Bandys' lone run came in the sixth inning, thanks to an RBI single by Shelby Weddington.
The Lady Trojans, the Catawba Valley No. 2 seed, finish the year at 12-9.

Champagne-Filled Airstream Visits D.C. Today
May 30, 2013 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on Champagne-Filled Airstream Visits D.C. Today
Sean Hannity is going to paste us for this one: Today (May 30) and Friday, Washington, D.C., residents who aren't embarrassed by allegations that the nation's capital has become too swanky for the rest of the United States can hop inside a chrome Airstream recreational vehicle filled to the roof with premium champagne, dcist.com reported.
Veuve Clicquot, the pioneering champagne house, is bringing its RV tour through D.C., for the sheer purpose of selling people glasses and bottles of champagne from inside a company-branded RV. The trailer's futuristic body is mostly the recognizable silver of the Airstream line that launched the RV industry in the 1930s, painted with a large yellow stripe reminiscent of Veuve Clicquot bottles.
The Airstream started a national tour in March in Florida, and has since passed through Texas, California, Washington State and New York. It is stopping in D.C. for two days before wrapping up its route in Annapolis, Md. on Saturday.
The Veuve Cliquot trailer will be parked outside the Dupont Circle Hotel (1500 New Hampshire Ave. NW) from 5 to 10 p.m. today, and outside the W Hotel (515 15th St. NW) from 5 to 10 p.m. on Friday. Eager champagne sippers can take their drinks back inside those locations, though they are also welcome to quaff their flutes inside the van.
In his "Boomtown" special lambasting the D.C. area for its recent luxury splurges, Hannity, the Fox News bouffant, criticized locals for being the nation's most voracious consumers of fine wines. Today and Friday, we can do that one better by drinking decent champagne — bottles of Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin brut go for about $50 at local wine shops — in a chromed-out RV.
