Economists honor Rupert Stadler
Economists honor Rupert Stadler
- Association of University Lecturers in Business Administration: "Prof. Stadler stands for sustainability in corporate management and a high awareness of values"
- Audi CEO Stadler: "We potentiate our knowledge through global exchange in scientific cooperation"
The Association of University Lecturers in Business Administration (VHB) has elected Rupert Stadler as the "Science Oriented Entrepreneur of the Year." In his laudation, the Chairman of the Roland Berger Stiftung, Prof. Dr. Burkhard Schwenker, emphasized that Prof. Stadler as CEO of AUDI AG stands for "sustainability in corporate management and a high awareness of values in moral terms as well as with regard to the quality of products."
The jury explained its decision with the assessment that Prof. Stadler has rendered exemplary services in the promotion of cooperation between science and business. They pointed out that he seeks solutions with a scientific basis. In this context, Audi supports numerous "application-related research activities and thus successfully implements findings from the field of consumer research."
"We potentiate our knowledge through global exchange in scientific cooperation," stated Prof. Stadler as a reaction to the award. He believes that many accomplishments in industry are inconceivable without the transfer of basic findings from universities and other educational institutions. In his acceptance speech, he called access to information the "new question of social justice in our society."
As an honorary professor, Stadler lectures in strategic corporate management at the Universities of St. Gallen and Munich. The Association of University Lecturers in Business Administration has more than 2,200 members in German-speaking countries.

Science teachers are supposed to be nerdy, combed-over and, quite frankly, a little dull. They're not supposed to be like him. And while he may be the ideal person to help 22-year-old Sarah Kyle nail her scholarship essay for Stanford's master's program, he may also be far more life changing than she bargained for.
Daniel Moore is certain he would never date a former student. No question. Still, he's not quite prepared for the schooling he's about to receive from that four-chambered muscle in his chest that is suddenly adapting to an entirely new mandate. Yep, evolution is a bitch!
Because life is only one part science; the rest is art. And life can turn on a dime; they both know that, all too well. In their own ways, they both live with the enduring effects – the ripple effects – of sudden loss. This powerful connection draws them together in the unspoken understanding of things that are just hard to explain. But will it ultimately prove to be the bond that unites them or the force that tears them apart?

This week, we're all celebrating history, culture and family with our food. Here in NYC, we're lucky enough to be located in the most diverse city in the world, with every culture's food at our fingertips and a great sampling of language and culture.
Many of our students come to school learning English as a second language, and they are often the strongest English speakers in their homes. Behind the Book is here to help – in fact, 20% of our students last year were English Language Learners. We work extra hard to supplement ESL classes with staff and volunteers that speak multiple languages themselves.
At PS 154 in Harlem, working with the same ESL class for the second year in a row allows us to see the impact on – and progress of – the students. They're tying their language learning to their cultural learning, and getting in some samples of new foods as well!
Last year, Mark, a third-grader originally from the Dominican Republic, met Jake Perez. Jake wrote Sweet Coco: Dessert With Dad, and shared his story of immigration – and his flan! – with the class.
Jake taught Mark a few words in sign language, including the sign to show agreement. If you put your thumb to your forehead and point your pinky at the person that you agree with, you're doing it right. If you do it the wrong way, Mark will patiently correct you. (Some of us may have some, ahem, experience in being corrected several times.)
Mark's classmate, Shayneze, remembers the art class in which they made a chef hat and apron and decorated the clothing with cultural symbols. One idea that resonated deeply with her was that Jake wants to write more books – but first, he has to read more and more books. At the age of 7, Shayneze had already learned that writing takes a lot of effort and many revisions.
Both children were very proud to show us that they're reading English at grade level. They showed us their current written work, and the many many books in their classroom. Soon, they'll be on to chapter books!
Mark and Shayneze are excited to be working with Behind the Book again this year. Their teacher, Ms. Acevedo said they are "constantly speaking about how exciting it was. At the beginning of this school year, they were very happy to hear they would be working with Behind the Book again." They've met Adam Rubin and read Dragons Love Tacos while continuing their study of culture and food to enhance their language learning.
As the program started, what were they most looking forward to? Their field trip to eat tacos. (Can you blame them?) Both kids were introduced to tacos for the first time, and in the process they learned about corn in Mexican culture. The students are going to go on to research family recipes, and bring in samples at the end of the class to celebrate!
Here at Behind the Book, we're thankful for bright students like these, and for great teachers like Ms. Acevedo. We're also thankful for our friends – volunteers, supporters, and partners like you.
Wishing you and yours a happy and healthy Thanksgiving!

Focus on the new National Office for Vocation
A Sense of Vocation? The National Office for Vocation is being launched this Sunday, World Day of Prayer for Vocations. Director Fr Kevin Dring explains some of the thought and background to the establishment of this new office of the Bishops' Conference. "The vocation is the providential thought of the Creator for each creature, it is his idea-plan, like a dream found in God's heart, because the creature is found in God's heart. God the Father wants this to be different and specific for each living person." [IVT 13] A reasonable question would be WHY a National Office? Is it just another bureaucratic layer? The decision in fact came after a long process of consultation began by the late Cardinal Hume and reflects the more recent practice of other European countries. It began back in November 1990 with the setting-up of a national service to promote priestly vocations: the Diocesan Vocations Service of England & Wales. In 1997, however, a key document was issued from Rome entitled 'New Vocations for a New Europe' [In Verbo Tuo] which in effect relocated all vocation promotion work within a vision which sees the very nature of the Church itself as vocational: the community of 'the called' that exists 'to call'. In summary the 'vision' that permeates 'In Verbo Tuo', and therefore the National Office, would be thus: The nature of the Church is essentially vocational and all pastoral work must express this fact, seeking to build a stronger 'culture of vocation' and every member of the Church is thus a promoter of vocation: "In a certain sense, vocation defines the deepest being of the Church, even before her workshe is truly an assembly of those called every member of the Church, excluding no-one, has a responsibility of caring for vocations". [IVT 25] We all share in the common call to holiness through our Baptism, a call that is uniquely experienced by each individual and from which flows the particular vocations that make up the life of the Church: "There are those who fear that widening the idea of vocation will be harmful to the specific promotion of vocations to the priesthood and the consecrated life; the reality is exactly the opposite" .[IVT 26] "Holiness is the universal vocation of every person, it is the main road onto which converge all the little paths that are particular vocations". [IVT 18] The National Office for Vocation has a wide brief, that includes the building of a stronger 'culture of vocation' in the Church as well as working alongside others to promote the particular vocations [marriage, single life, ordained ministry and consecrated life]. Very important will be the experience of meeting and listening to all those who, in the broadest sense, work in 'vocation promotion'. We will also, in a particular way, take on supporting and co-ordinating the Diocesan priestly vocations work . We all know how hard it is to move 'vocation' talk away from almost singular focus on the ordained priesthood and consecrated life. There's no doubt that these vocations lie at the heart of the life of the Church but our biggest challenge is to convey in a meaningful and practical sense the fact of every person's vocation and the implications of this for the life of the community. The work of the National Office for Vocation will of course only bear fruit if we place it firmly in the care and guidance of the Holy Spirit. So please pray for this new initiative and those who work in it! A final word from In Verbo Tuo: "The vocational crisis of those called is also a crisis, today, of those calling. If no-one calls, how can anyone respond?" [IVT 19] For more information visit: www.ukvocation.org

To prepare for his rookie season, Donatas Motiejunas is practicing against Omer Asik.
"So that's the thing: When you go up against that kind of player you see really quickly where you are and what you need to work on," Motiejunas said of lining up against Asik. "He's already earned his reputation so I need to check myself. I need to learn how to deal with these kinds of players because that's what I'm going to be facing every day."
Motiejunas -- who was taken 20th overall by Minnesota in the 2011 draft – said he is picking up lessons from Asik that will aid in his development.
"My quickness is my weapon, but I knew that already," he said. "But he's also fast so I just need to outsmart him. I need to be more consistent and a smarter player. Just coming from Europe, there are things I learn every day about the NBA and I have to work to figure out how to adjust and adapt my game."

NASA found that military pilots and astronauts who took a 40-minute nap improved alertness by 100 percent and performance by 34 percent, and recent Harvard University research also revealed that college students who napped between tasks performed better than those who stayed awake.
How does napping work its brain magic? "It may protect brain circuits from overuse until those neurons can consolidate what's been learned about a procedure," says Robert Stickgold, Ph.D., coauthor of the Harvard study.
Unless you know the correct way to conduct a daytime doze, however, you could snooze and lose. "Napping can steal the drive for nighttime sleep, so you need to be cautious," says David Neubauer, M.D., associate director of the Johns Hopkins Sleep Disorders Center. "The key is to nap early and short."
By early he means daylight hours, at least five hours before you plan on going to sleep that night (between 2 and 4 p.m. is prime). Any later and your circadian rhythms will kick in, possibly making you feel disoriented upon waking and likely preventing you from conking out come your regular bedtime. As for short, keep your naps to less than an hour; 20 to 30 minutes is enough for most people to get the benefits.
To help stick to this nap-plan, stay out of the sack -- likely not a problem at the office -- since you associate your bed with long periods of rest. Find a quiet couch or carpeted floor where you can lie down. Even shutting your eyes in your office chair for 20 minutes will relax and refresh you. (That's if you can stifle your phone; if not, find an unused conference room.)
Home or work, you'll find that -- just like in kindergarten -- after a nice restorative nap, you'll play much better with others.
Quote for a good night sleep: "I can handle the disruption and still feel rested"
Please sleep well everyone ^@^

Kingston Technology saw a significant growth in its DRAM module shipments, of 20 percent, in 2011. This growth comes despite tough competition and a generally hostile market in 2011 (not because of lack of demand, but oversupply). Kingston told the press that its 20% DRAM shipments growth allowed it to mitigate the impact of plummeting DRAM prices in 2011-12. In addition to quality entry-level bulk DRAM modules, and bleeding-edge HyperX DRAM modules for gaming and enthusiast PCs, Kingston said it would focus on enterprise-grade DRAM for servers and workstations, which yield higher margins. Kingston maintained its 50% worldwide market-share in 2011, maintaining its market dominance.

Heineken Cup
Cheika chuffed with Leinster efforts
April 1, 2006
Leinster coach Michael Cheika spoke of his pride after holders Toulouse were humbled 41-35 in a remarkable Heineken Cup quarter-final at Le Stadium.
Brian O'Driscoll, Cameron Jowitt, Denis Hickie and Shane Horgan crossed while Felipe Contepomi contributed 20 points with the boot to send the favourites crashing out. Leinster were 20 points ahead with just under 15 minutes of play left and only injury-time tries from Yannick Nyanga and Yannick Jauzion gave Toulouse scoreboard respectability.
"This is a pretty big event for us as a team. Personally I'm very proud of the payers because they've worked hard,'' he said. "In the build up to the match we spoke about trying to get the performance on the day.
"We had a chequered preparation because many of the guys were coming back from the Six Nations. We knew that was the case but I'm very proud of the way they took the extra steps to get themselves ready for this match. They've had some adverse moments when they've dipped in form and I've been uptight with them, but they put in a lot of smart preparation this week.''
Leinster entered half time 19-9 ahead but three quickfire penalties shortly after the interval saw Toulouse trail just 19-18. With the holders and tournament favourites clicking through the gears, the expected home victory appeared on the cards but Leinster hit back with tries from Jowitt, Hickie and Horgan.
The flurry had put them in an unbeatable position but Cheika still feared Toulouse, who fielded an all-France backline, would stage a remarkable comeback.
"We were ahead and needed to focus on ourselves and what we wanted to do with the ball. We needed to challenge their defence and see if we could orchestrate the match,'' he said. "If you worry about Toulouse too much then you'd never sleep because they're so dangerous from every part of the pitch.
"Even when we were winning by 20 points I was still panicking because they have so much firepower. But we couldn't go into our shell - we had to keep believing in ourselves and that's what we did.''
Contepomi ran the show superbly for Leinster and Cheika paid tribute to the Argentina fly-half.
"Felipe was pretty good - we get sick of saying that. He created space for us out wide with some of his runs. He's a superb competitor,'' he said.

RLTD Fiber Sensor
BEI Security's new long range sensor system utilizes a newly developed patent pending technology called Reflected Light Time Differential (RLTD). RLTD offers a unique and easily deployed intrusion detection system utilizing a single mode fiber optic cable and a single head end controller. The system is capable of protecting perimeters up to 100 kilometers in length with a single fiber. With this break through in performance, the system offers major cost reduction over other fiber solutions.
The BEI RLTD terminates both ends of the fiber into the control sensor electronics at the head end. By doing so, we now have two complete paths to examine signals. Since we are looking at two signal paths, it eliminates false echoes and allows the system to make very precise time differential measurements as to the location of the disturbances (within ±10 meters). By increasing the sampling frequency we can further zero in on the exact disturbance location.
When used for protection of long borders, or perimeters exceeding 100 kilometers, the RLTD single mode fiber optic cable is attached to an existing barrier or fence and looped back to the head end (as shown below) in 50 kilometer increments. The disturbance detection identification zones remain at the normal ±10 meters for precise intrusion detections. Alternatively, the product can also be buried for invisible protection.
The head end receives the laser signals and reacts to the variations in the infrared lasers return signal. The head end controller is connected to a PC via a USB or RS232 connection to receive and process the signal to determine if an intrusion event has taken place. The software that interfaces to the controller provides a graphical representation of the perimeter and denotes the location of the incursion.
RLTD FIBER SENSOR Operational Characteristics:
- Derived from BEI's unique Fiber Sensor technology, the RLTD system extends the perimeter protected zone length up to 100 kilometers with a single fiber. It is easy to install and maintain.
- The RLTD fiber sensor controller is housed in asmall enclosure powered by either low voltage AC or DC.
- The RLTD fiber sensor interfaces via either RS232 or USB to a PC for signal processing and alarm notification.
- With the RLTD fiber sensor unit there is no power required in the field for perimeters up to 100 kilometers.
RLTD FIBER SENSOR Specifications:
- Electrical – 12 to 24 VDC or 9 to 18 VAC @ 1 amp into a 2.1mm receptacle
- Maximum loop distance is 100 kilometers with a single controller
- Intrusion detection zones are ±10 meters
- 9/125µm Single mode fiber with ST fiber optic connectors
- Mechanical dimensions: L x W x H 8"x 6" x 1.5"
- Environmental: Temperature -3 to +55 degrees Centigrade
- Humidity 10-90% non-condensing
Tactical Fiber Optic Cable Specification:
- Military Spec Tactical Fiber Optic Cable
- Diameter = 4.6 mm
- UV and Flame Retardant Outer Sheath
- Inner Sheath of Aramid Yarn
- Tension = 2,000 N

Emily Crighton
I will be the first person to admit that I am not a relatively coordinated individual. I trip on flat sidewalks, run into low-hanging tree branches and fall down the stairs at the gym after leg day. I once went to sit down in a perfectly stationary chair and ended up on the ground with the chair flipped over my head. I'm absolutely the last person on earth you'd expect to find in a ballroom dancing class, yet here I am anyway…taking intro to ballroom dance with my fiancé.
Despite being undisputably one of the slowest to catch on to any dance we learn, I'm thankful I decided to get so far out of my comfort zone. It's taught me a lot about myself, other people and, of course, ballroom dancing.
I'm a person to whom a lot of things come naturally. As a result, I used to steer clear of anything that didn't. I'm easily embarrassed, and I absolutely despise not being good at things. I registered for this class fearing it would be my worst nightmare. It wasn't.
The more I think about it the more I feel like life is a lot like dance class. Sometimes you lead, other times you follow. Sometimes you follow even when your partner is going the complete opposite direction you're supposed to be going. Sometimes neither of you know where you're going, so you just stop and stare at everyone else is doing until you figure it out.
Dancing comes naturally to some people, and others will suffer a few slips and stepped-on toes before figuring it out. Some partners won't be compatible. You'll find your favorite partner isn't the one who knows all the steps, but the one willing to laugh with you while you figure it out together.
Dance class has forced me to laugh off my shortcomings. It's forced me to admit I'm bad at something and kept me from throwing in the towel. It's forced me to swallow my pride and ask for help. It's shown me that most everyone is willing to help you if you ask for it. It's showed me I'm capable of learning something I'd previously been too terrified to even attempt. I might not be the best dancer in the class, but there's no way I'm the worst dancer in the world.
I used to feel as if I had to be the best at everything I did, and honestly I still kinda feel that way…but you can't be the best at everything. There, I've admitted it. There will always be someone smarter, stronger, more talented and far more coordinated. You cannot let that stop you from trying.
In dance class there are all kinds of people. There are naturals, there are quick learners and there are people who are unwilling to jump in and try the new step we just learned for fear of messing it up. I used to be one of the latter. Now I just try to do my best, ask for help when I need it and jump in feet first until my instructor tells me I'm doing it totally wrong. I take her feedback with a laugh and a smile and do my best to get it right the next time.
What else can you do in life?

Most Helpful Girl
they're sort of unique, but all entertainers (mainly female) wear very flashy and "different" outfits. i feel like they're all just recycled by now.00|00|0
thank you for MHO!
Have an opinion?
She buys on Hollywood Blvd. . . . not Rodeo Drive. Her fashions have a trashy edge to them that suits her well.
i don't care. i didn't watch the vma's
I think that she's no longer little miss hannah montana, that's for sure
I didn't expect Miley Cyrus to wear a long Versace gown lol so with that being said the outfits were outrageous & cool. Also, watching her host the VMA made me actually like her, I usually can not stand this girl. Maybe next week I'll go back to that but for now I think she was a pretty good host.

Excluded occupiers
You are probably an excluded occupier if you share accommodation with your landlord.
What is an excluded occupier?
You are probably an excluded occupier if you:
- share accommodation with your landlord
- live in the same building as your landlord and share accommodation with a member of your landlord's family
- live in a council or housing association-run hostel
- do not pay any rent
Use Shelter's tenancy checker if you are not sure what type of tenancy you have.
Right to rent immigration checks
If you are a lodger or have a private landlord you should be asked to prove that you have the right to live in the UK and the right to rent.
This does not apply to you if you moved in before 1 February 2016.
Find out more about right to rent immigration checks.
Agreements for excluded occupiers
Your landlord doesn't have to give you a contract. But it's a good idea to have a written agreement in place.
A contract should set out the rights and responsibilities that you and your landlord have.
Tenancy deposits
If you pay a deposit for your accommodation it should be returned to you when you move out.
Your landlord can make reasonable deductions if you owe any rent or cause any damage.
Find out more about getting back your deposit at the end of your tenancy
Your deposit doesn't have to be protected in a government-backed tenancy deposit protection scheme.
Rent and rent increases
You pay the rent that you agreed with your landlord.
If you pay rent weekly, your landlord must give you a rent book.
The landlord cannot increase your rent during any fixed-term rental agreement unless:
- you agree to the increase
- there is a rent review clause in your agreement
Your landlord can increase your rent after the fixed term ends or if you don't have a fixed term agreement.
If you don't pay your rent your landlord can evict you.
If you want to leave
You can leave after you give your landlord reasonable notice.
Reasonable notice should be at least 7 days, but it can be more depending on your circumstances.
The notice usually doesn't have to be in writing.
If you have a written agreement it should say how much notice you must give your landlord and whether it should be in writing.
If you have a fixed-term agreement you can't give notice to leave before it ends unless:
- there is a clause in the agreement that allows this
- you agree with your landlord that it can end early
Eviction of excluded occupiers
Your landlord can evict you after you have been given reasonable notice to leave. Reasonable notice should be at least 7 days, but it can be more depending on your circumstances.
The notice usually doesn't have to be in writing. Your landlord can just tell you to leave by a particular date.
If you have a written agreement it should say how much notice you should be given and whether it must be given to you in writing.
If you have a fixed-term agreement your landlord cannot tell you to leave before it ends unless there is a clause in the agreement that allows this.
Your landlord doesn't need a court order to evict you.
Find out more about eviction of excluded occupiers
Illegal eviction
It is a criminal offence for your landlord to use or threaten violence while evicting you.
Get advice if this is happening to you.
Use Shelter's directory to find a local adviser or contact a Shelter adviser online or by phone.

By land and sea, but especially by sea, a new exodus of Cubans to the United States is underway.
Economic conditions in Cuba are getting worse. Also, it is easier to leave the island than it has been before. Experts think the uptick in refugees is just the beginning.
Efforts to get to the U.S. by sea are the most dramatic. Scenes remind viewers of the Mariel "rafters" exodus of 1980 and the rafter crisis of 1994.
There was an agreement after 1994. Refugees caught at sea would be sent back to Cuba. Any Cuban who reached the USA border would be allowed to stay. Refugees might also get to Mexico or a Central American country. If they did, and made their way over the border, they could stay in the United States.
Smuggling networks were used during the past 10 years. They were very expensive. Now, Cubans are going back to the sea.
Today's refugees are much poorer than those of ten years ago. They do not have the money to pay smugglers. Most of the boats they travel in are not seaworthy. There are grisly stories of people dying at sea with their bodies then tossed overboard.
The U.S. imposed many economic restrictions on Cuba after Fidel Castro took power in 1959. At the same time America began a political refugee policy friendly to Cuban refugees fleeing Castro. It is still friendly to Cubans trying to leave the country . It still imposes economic sanctions on the Island.
Thousands of Cubans fled the Island after 1959.Many settled in South Florida. Today, those Cubans and the next generations are well established.

American Shakespeare Center Works With Students
Meagan Cole
For the past week, three performers from the American Shakespeare Center returned to Roanoke College since their adaptation of Othello. This time, they are here as teachers of informative workshops, helping students understand the tricks of the Shakespearean trade. Different topics are discussed at each meeting, some of which included: clowning, rhetoric, asides, and even stage combat. Additionally, they met with the Performance Theory and Shakespeare classes to apply their personal experiences to course study. All around, they left an impact on campus.
Each actor brought their field into the discussions for a well-rounded, Shakespearean balance and vision. Kim specializes in facts and history; Dan in stage combat and clowning; and Andrew in rhetoric and diction. Their individual pieces to the puzzle came together to create the hands-on whole received by the students. Such a unique dynamic made the learning environment exceptional, and the best part was their willingness to work with any level of actor. No judgment was ever passed, regardless of awkward noises, slurred words, or even random gestures.
With that being the focus, the workshops opened up a lot of room for making mistakes and challenging oneself in order to learn. Rhetoric and asides, for example, took an educational standpoint by giving cold reads of Shakespeare's scenes. The students, who may have read one or two plays in high school, otherwise did not know exactly what it was they were doing or saying. Thus, the interpretation came solely from the direction given by Andrew and Shakespeare's own internal suggestion.
The American Shakespeare Center is a big advocate for performing the way Shakespeare meant his plays to be performed, so asides and stage directions were crucial to engage audience members. Another workshop dealt with identifying these minute details in order to better direct a production. For example, the students searched for key signifiers within the text of Richard III and pinpointed how the actors needed to be best staged.
The workshop that gained the most interest was stage combat. The night began with tae kwon do and led up to sword fighting. Tae kwon do entailed exercising through balance by applying pressure against one another's palms and being firmly planted in a squat stance. Sword fighting, on the other hand, was self-explanatory. Of course, no actual weapons were used and contact was never made with the foam rapiers. Safety was the most crucial rule. Each step was first choreographed by Dan and needed to be carried out without any improvisation. The end result became a thrilling fight sequence where each pair of students acted out Macbeth's death with imaginary broad swords.
Although the workshops were open to all of campus, primarily English and Theatre majors attended, but those who did got a lot out of the experience. Such a positive response between the workshops and their earlier performance of Othello has generated talk of bringing them back for another week of workshops during the spring semester. Those who did not get to see them, therefore, can. Also, don't forget to support the entire American Shakespeare Center company; they're just two hours down the road at the Blackfriar's Theatre in Staunton, VA.

No Breathing Required: Live Without Breathing
Tired of having to go through the labor of breathing to meet your body's gluttonous need for oxygen?
Then you sir, or madam, are irreparably lazy!
On the other hand, scientists have invented particles that will allow you to live without breathing. Oxygenating the blood through a direct injection
will allow medical teams to keep patients alive and well for 15 to 30 minutes despite major respiratory failure. This is enough time for doctors and emergency personnel to act without risking a heart attack or permanent brain injuries in the patient."
The article also states that
the solution has already been successfully tested on animals under critical lung failure. When the doctors injected this liquid into the patient's veins, it restored oxygen in their blood to near-normal levels, granting them those precious additional minutes of life."
This is not a theory or alpha stage experimentation, this is the real deal!
After reading this article my mind can't help heading into the world of sci fi and using this breakthrough for recreational or exploratory purposes. It reminds me of Kurt Vonnegut's The Sirens of Titan, where former citizens of Earth are trained on Mars to practice oxygenating their body through the use of a time released oxygen pill. The trick is remembering to not breathe!

Chris Cornell was more than a standard-issue rock star. The Soundgarden and Audioslave frontman took his stunning voice and deep lyrics in search of something more meaningful than fame, wealth, and adoration.
His sudden death at 52, hours after Soundgarden played a show in Detroit, would have been heartbreaking in any circumstance. But on Thursday, the county medical examiner ruled his death a suicide. That finding has disturbed Cornell's wife, who called his death "inexplicable."
"The family believes that if Chris took his life, he did not know what he was doing, and that drugs or other substances may have affected his actions," Kirk Pasich, the family's lawyer, said in a statement. Read more...More about Music, Social Good, Mental Health, Suicide, and Suicide Prevention

Question about Maxtor Hard Drive
I've been using the External hard drive (maxtor 1TB) for about 3 weeks without a hitch and now all of a sudden, my computer (laptop) can't detect the Hard drive. Any suggestions please?
Posted by bangishere on
I don't know about the port (or how to look it up, sorry!) but the hard drive shows up in the "device manager" with a yellow code on it (Code 10). And it also shows up in the "safely remove window".
But the damn thing works on every other computer I have connected it to. Is it my computer acting up?
Smith Brother, thanks for your help man.
And thetez. YOU ARE THE MAN. You saved me from a trip to an IT repair shop. You are the man!
FIXED I am.
Hey guys it's me with the Maxtor 1tb again. Seriously I almost regret buying the damn Hard drive. Too much trouble for a 150 Dollar gadget.
The new problem is that the hard drive shows that it's full of data in the properties tab, yet when I try to open up the various folders, it shows me empty folders.
SOMEBODY HELP me AGAIN please.
The yellow question mark means that the device is not working .Try reinstalling it after deleting all of the software. If it is working on all the other computers their is nothing wrong with the hd. It has to be the link (software or hardware) to this on.
See if it is listed under the hardware and if the port is also still listed.
i have a external Fujitsu Siemens 1TB hard drive. The power is coming on but the drive is not registering. is there a way that i can retrieve the data. I can not find any screws to take it appart.
Go to your admin tools and go to the device manager and look into the storage section and if you "see" your 1TB maxtor drive right click and make sure its active/enabled (sorry if my terminology is off im going of memory) i bought one and had some issues getting my PC's to recognize it till i did that and viola it worked fine (after a 3 hour format) but i thought i had one of the wonderous D.O.A HD's from maxtor (lots of bad reviews out ther right now)

Im going to assume your on XP for these instructions. other wise you still need to do the same thing.
right click the my computer desktop or the start menu. go down to properties. open the hardware tab. open the device manager. Scroll down to it, remove the driver, just delete the whole entry. unplug the hard drive, then plug it in again. See if that works.
hope this will fixya....

im sorry, but it sounds like the data is corrupt. i actually just had that problem. (luckely i run a dual boot) i had to open in windows 7 and copy the files to another drive, than back in XP. i think you may have gotten a problem shutting down while accessing the folder... Their are many ways to go about this.... IF you can back up the files somewhere. (or try it on another computer) download any live linux CD. Freespire will work easily someothers require a little more knowhow.
downloada free spire and boot into it. you should be able to access the files through the operating systeme you boot into (go to live cd NOT INSTALL) then move files off that drive.
go back to windows format the usb drive and then put the files back on.
Good luck. i hope you can work that out
Ouch. im sorry to hear that. i am getting over the same problem now. The drive was corrupted somehow. maybe file transfer rwas happening when it shut down.... or who knows it could be many things.
have you tried putting it in another computer WITHOUT XP! like vista? or the newwe wwindows 7 beta...?
ok well if that works copy the files to the other computer than format the drive and put the files back on.
if that doesnt work here:
it wont be a short quick fix, but it will work.
you are going to need to be able to swap files to another hard drive... another external or the internal in the computer. downloada freespire (its linux, and should work great for what your doing)
http://linux-ds.unidu.hr/freespire/frees... thats an iso file. you will need to burn it to a CD. the software you use needs to be able to burn iso's it will say either burn iso to disk or burn an image to disk.
ok so do that. (use cheetah burner if you need one its got a free trial)
ok. put the disk in your CD drive and boot into the CD (you may have to go into the bios and set your CD drive to first boot priority. (get to bios by pressing either esc, or delete repeadedly when the computers starting up) boot into the CD boot into "Live mode" nothing else. no install and no
gparted. Ok now when it starts up this should look fimiliar, like windows just different. You should plug in the usb drive when the computer has booted. it should show up on the desktop. Transfer those files you want to your desktops hard drive (should also be on the desktop) after you have copied the files take out the cd boot back into windows. format your USB drive, and go ahead and use it. put those files on and you will be good to go.

Question about Xerox Phaser 8500/DN Printer
I've followed your other 10 posts on the subject but still haven't gotten it to work.
1. Power Cycled 5 or 6 Times
2. I took off all covers and on the left side found the circular spring that held in the 1x1 block. That moved freely.
3. Took the Ink Loader off and obsurved the movement of the print head. It moves to the left (when looking from the front) and then tilts backwards fine. I can see the wiper move up and down, and it's able to shoot out a clean page just fine too, but it still throws up that error
You seem to be the most knowledgable, and I'd really appreciate some pointers!
I couldn't quite see how to get the print head out, but I'm assuming that's the next step. Also on the front side of the print head (towards the drum) there is ink on that, and the wiper doesn't quite seem to touch it - is that normal?
Posted by tdickson on
Miraculously Got it apart and back together... but that darn error persists!!! Time to call in the experts as I've hit the limit of my skills I think :(
Thank you very much for your help and hopefully this will help someone else in the same boat!
A little bit of ink in that area can be normal. Although I would clean it out if I were in there.
To remove the print head, you have to remove that block. Then on each side of the print head there is a plastic bracket held in with one screw on each side. They are brass torx screws, they just lift out of the frame on each side of the print head, they are the print head latches.
You mention the head tilts backrward fine, but don't mention it moving forward. Does it get within about 1/4 of an inch of the drum? Is shoul dmove frely forward also. But removing it may be find the problem.
Remove the loose ink.
One other thing to check is the process drive motor. It is mounted on the right side of the machine and has a gear cluster on it. On the clear plastic are timing holes to ling up the gears to the frame. You can just pin them with paper clips. You have to remove the motor to do that correctly, 4 screws and some connectors run across the assembly. Remove it and pin the gears through the holes and when installing make sure the arrow on the frams lines up with the one on the assembly.

SOURCE: xerox phaser 8560 DX error
This fault occurs due to the printhead being stuck in the tilted position.
There are many reasons why this fault will occur, too many to mention.
More often than not, your problem will require the printhead and process gear to be re-aligned in order to get a reboot but sometimes it is possible to get a reboot by doing the following;
Turn the printer off, wait ten seconds then turn it back on again. Wait for the printer to start warming up to about 5 or 10 percent. At this point, switch the machine off again by the machine switch NOT your wall/plug switch. Wait ten seconds and switch on again. Now let it run through its normal cycle. The success rate for this method is small, possibly only 1 in 30 machines will recover.
The reason this will sometimes work is that, when you turn the machine off from the warm up, it powers down using its proper head parking routine, you will notice, it takes a while to shut down. If the original fault was due to say a power cut or someone pulling the plug out it is possible for the printer to find its home position and boot ok.
Unfortunately, a lot of the time, the reason for the fault is printer related and such, this method does not work. But it is always worth a try.
Hope this helps.

San Francisco National Youth Council Meeting Post #3
Hello Red Cross Youth,
My name is Hanna Malak and I am a new National Youth Council member. Today was a very busy working day. We started the day with leadership team elections. Here are the results:
~ Anjuli Sastry, Vice-Chair
~ Anna Bevington, Leadership Team Member
~ Mohit Jain, Leadership Team Member
~ Stewart Zellars, Leadership Team Member
After the elections, we began to discuss our "Connect Tour." The Connect Tour is one of our major projects for this fiscal year and a lot of productive discussion occurred. We took a break at lunch time and joined the National Youth Council Alumni Board, and other staff from the Bay Area Chapter for a special lunch. We celebrated a recognition lunch where The National Youth Council was introduced to the San Francisco Bay Area chapter employees. In addition, we paid a special tribute to Pat West, the former NYC Chair.
We were also lucky enough to listen to a presentation from Sandy Tesch, a former National Youth Council Chair and current Alumni Board Chair. Sandy was joined by Lauren Lombardo, an intern in the Bay Area Chapter. Sandy and Lauren represented The American Red Cross at the International Indonesian Red Cross youth camp in Jumbaraa, Indonesian. They were able to gain some valuable contacts, leave a positive impact on the Indonesian community, and even brought back some take aways to use in every day life.
After lunch, we got back to work and discussed our connect tour. At 5 0'clock our business for the day ended and we headed to Fort Mason for dinner. We were surprised to find numerous food trucks to feast on – there was a wide variety in food choices.
We are looking forward to the rest of the weekend.
Take care!
~ Hanna

Re: Aug. 19 primary
As we cast our ballots Aug. 19, we owe it to our state's future to support candidates with a demonstrated record of support for the industries that fuel both our economy and our way of life–our natural resource industries including energy, agriculture and tourism. Voters in House District 30 have that opportunity by supporting the re-election of Kathy Coleman.
Rep. Coleman brings her experience as a successful businesswoman to her legislative work. She has been a steady supporter of legislation critical to Wyoming's ranching community. While serving on the Labor, Health and Social Services Committee, she has been a thoughtful voice for pragmatic, economically sustainable approaches to challenging health care and employment issues.
The Wyoming Stock Growers Association is pleased to support the re-election of Rep. Kathy Coleman.

John Travolta and Kelly Preston Welcome a New Baby
John Travolta and wife Kelly Preston welcomed their fourth child, a baby boy named Benjamin. Baby Benjamin was born late Tuesday evening in Florida and weighed in at 8lbs. 3oz. Both mother and child are said to be both happy and healthy and the family including daughter Ella Bleu are joyful to have a new addition for the upcoming holidays.
The birth of baby Benjamin comes two years after the tragic loss of their 16 year old son, Jett. Jett was the couple eldest son and Travolta made it no secret to the world how special he was to him and the incredible bond the two shared.
I wish the Travolta family lots of love and joy this holiday season, they do deserve it. Congratulations!Tags: baby, birth, John Travolta, Kelly Preston

The Clippers were going to play 82 games next season. That was guaranteed.
The who, when and where? That all got answered Thursday.
The Clippers will open their season with a playoff rematch in Portland, spend Christmas at Staples Center against the Lakers, play host to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Martin Luther King Jr. Day and finish the season with seven of nine on their home floor.
The team will play 18 sets of back-to-back games and one stretch of four games in five nights.
Single-game tickets will be available Friday at noon.
Here are five key dates:
Oct. 27 at Portland
The Clippers won't have to wait long to seek revenge against the team that knocked them out of the playoffs in the first round last season.
Dec. 1 at Cleveland
The Clippers roll through Cleveland to face LeBron James and the defending champions during their longest road trip of the season, a six-game trek that begins in Dallas and ends in New Orleans.
Dec. 7 vs. Golden State
Kevin Durant and the Warriors come to Staples Center for the first of four games between the old rivals.
Feb. 5 at Boston
Will this be Paul Pierce's last game in Boston? It depends on whether he retires before the season gets under way or elects to make one more run with the Clippers.
April 8 at San Antonio
The Clippers' final road game of the regular season comes against the team they're expected to be competing with for the No. 2 seed in the West.

Fan social media use passes a threshold
More than half of avid fans who use social media to follow sports now do so while watching their favorite team's games, according to the 2013 Sports Fan Engagement Study conducted by Catalyst on behalf of SportsBusiness Journal.
Key takeaways
■ The influence of social media as a key source of sports information continues to grow among avid sports fans, especially on game day..
■ U.S. soccer fans are more likely than fans of the NFL, NBA, MLB, college football or college basketball to use social media as a primary source for sports information.
■ Almost two-thirds of fans use social media sites to receive team offers or promotions..
■ Fans are willing to connect with consumer brands that align themselves with sports, but fans will turn away if they feel the contact is too frequent or irrelevant.
Which of the following, if any, social media sites or location-based services do you use in relation to sports? (Select all that apply.)

Source: Catalyst
Fans' use of Facebook and Twitter, specifically, during the game has increased by about 10 percentage points over the past year and by 15 percentage points compared with 2011. Pregame use on the two sites saw a 10-point jump compared with last year, while postgame activity surged 15 points. Facebook-owned Instagram saw even bigger gains.
YouTube, however, saw an overall decline in game-day activity.
"Digital engagement and sports is now a social norm," said Bret Werner, Catalyst's senior vice president and managing director. "Pre, during or postgame, the sports fan has [a] variety of digital channels to engage in conversation. Social media allows for the game to never end."
Facebook remains the most used social networking site among U.S. avid sports fans and with Americans in general: 73 percent of the survey's 2,101 avid fans have a Facebook account and use it in relation to sports. That total is down 8 percentage points from 2012 but is still higher than a Pew Research Center report released last month that indicated that 67 percent of Americans are Facebook users.
The percentage of fans who have a Google+ and/or YouTube account increased significantly over the last year.
Thinking about a typical game day, which of the following, if any, do you use before, during and after the games? (Select all that apply.)

Looking across the leagues, although a survey-high 78 percent of NFL fans use Facebook in some way to follow the league, those fans are the least likely to use any of the other popular social media sites. NBA and soccer fans, on the other hand, are twice as likely as NFL fans to use Instagram.
About one quarter of NBA fans and soccer fans said they will view and/or respond to content created by a nonsports brand that was linked in some way to their favorite sports. That response rate is higher than the rate posted by any other measured group: college basketball fans at 20 percent; MLB, NFL and college football fans all at 16 percent.
Overall, two-thirds of fans said they have "liked" a brand on Facebook, and half say they have "followed" a brand on Twitter based on having seen a particular brand's promotion during a sporting event or broadcast. More importantly to marketers, one-third of these fans said they purchased or used the brand's service after connecting with the brand via the sports platform.
Soccer fans were the most receptive to such opportunities, with 72 percent of that sport's respondents saying they've taken such steps through Facebook, and 60 percent via Twitter.
But fans across sports say it is still a fine line: More than half indicated that they had "un-liked" or "un-followed" a brand because the company was either "posting/tweeting too often" or was sending "irrelevant information."
"Sports fans are willing to take an action that has business impact, such as making purchases or recommendations," Werner said. "Brands need to earn their right to be part of the community, by having the right dialogue, offerings and content to engage them, or [fans] are more likely than ever to disengage. The fan is smart enough to know when a brand is not part of the authentic sports conversation."
This year's survey was for the first time replicated in the U.K. and Brazil during the same time period, targeting exclusively avid soccer fans in those two regions. Full results from those studies were not available as of press time, but according to Catalyst, results that have been compiled indicate that Facebook and Twitter use among soccer fans in the U.K. was almost identical to the use by their U.S. counterparts. However, U.S. fans were far more likely to use YouTube, Google+ and Instagram than U.K.-based fans.

Source: CatalystAbout the research
Catalyst, an IMG Consulting subsidiary, conducted national online consumer surveys between July 29 and Aug. 9. Those surveys gained responses from a sample of 2,101 avid sports fans ages 16 to 64 in the United States and 502 avid soccer fans ages 16 to 64 in the U.K. — all of whom follow, discuss or engage with sports using digital media.
Fans were able to participate in a survey for a maximum of two of the following leagues/sports: MLB, NBA, NFL, professional soccer, college basketball or college football. The results here represent data from at least 500 respondents for each of those groups.
Fans were asked, "How big a fan are you of the following sports leagues? Please respond using a 1-5 scale, where 1 means you are not a fan and 5 means you are an avid fan of that sport." Fans who selected a 4 or 5 qualified for the survey. As an additional qualifier, those fans were later asked to indicate how many of their favorite team's games they watch or listen to during the course of a typical season. A response of less than 25 percent of games played in any respective sport terminated the survey.
To be included in the final results, respondents also had to select at least one of the 10 sites listed when asked, "Which of the following, if any, social media or location-based check-in services do you use to engage" for following their favorite teams.
The percentage responses listed have been rounded. The margin of error for each survey is +/- 4.4 percent.

Diffusion and usage of public e-services in Europe: An assessment of country level indicators and drivers
We analyze the state of the art of indicators on eGovernment, eHealth, eProcurement and ePartecipation. We survey the main methodological properties of these indicators, and uncover the principal stylized facts and trends; at the same time, we highlight their heuristic limits and potential inconsistencies. Finally, we address empirically the issue of the explanation of the indexes scores – i.e. how the supply of the various eServices in each country is affected by political, institutional and socio-economic differences, and is followed by actual usage. The econometric analysis uncovers the importance of broadband penetration and higher education as drivers for most of the types of eServices and users (citizens and businesses). Moreover, a corruption-free and agile public sector shows up to be an important pre-condition for more effective supply and usage. Despite severe data limits and the complexity of the underlying diffusion phenomena, our study of eServices availability and usage across European countries is a first empirical contribution aimed at disentangling broad empirical trends – with their correlates - from unresolved methodological issues. As such, this work appears useful to inform the policy debate and practice, in a phase characterized by a prospective reorientation of public eServices provision.
