General rules: Similar to baseball in many respects, except that the batter stands in the middle of the field and there's no foul territory. Every hit can score runs.
Runs: There are two creases (think bases) about 65 feet apart. When batters hit the ball, they run back and forth between them. Each crossing counts as a run. A home run is worth six runs. Batters keep batting until they make an out.
Outs: There's a wicket behind the batter. If the pitched ball hits it, the batter is out. Pop-ups that are caught are outs. There's also a baseball-like force-out involving runners who don't reach the next crease in time.
Times: Saturdays and Sundays starting about noon.
Locations: Bryn Mawr and Bohanon Parks in Minneapolis, Lakeland Park and Fair Oaks School in Brooklyn Park.

Cricket: A whole new ball game
- Article by: JEFF STRICKLER
- Star Tribune
- July 6, 2012 - 3:00 PM
A well-hit ball comes off the wooden bat with a resounding crack! that would do Target Field proud. It prompts a volley of shouts, as fielders yell instructions to each other and the batter's teammates holler advice to keep running or stand pat.
The chaotic calls are in multiple languages, sometimes in the same sentence. Words of encouragement (never trash talk) in Hindi are punctuated by the command: "Run! Run!" No one criticizes the umpires in any language.
In their crisp white uniforms, the cricket players inevitably draw curious looks from people who venture past Bryn Mawr Park on weekend afternoons. But they're hardly an oddity. They've been gathering there since 1974.
Every Saturday and Sunday from early May to mid-October, you'll find a few of the 26 teams sponsored by the Minnesota Cricket Association at play.
Games are marathons, lasting six to seven hours. While spectators -- mostly family members or significant others -- come and go, the players settle in for the duration. As the Strykers Reds arrived for a game on a recent sunny Sunday, they brought bunches of bananas, a few dozen sub sandwiches, a cooler stocked with bottles of water and two more 36-packs of water that were stacked under the bench until they were needed to replenish the cooler. About halfway through the game, one of the spectators was recruited to make a convenience store run for a fresh load of ice.
By the end of the day, the once-bright uniforms are covered with dust from the batting area and grass stains from diving for balls. The box of subs is empty, the cooler is full of slush and the players are hoarse from hours of yelling.
Although the Cricket Association has launched a campaign to introduce the sport to a wider audience, most of the players are immigrants. The pitch serves as a melting pot of cultures, including those that have clashed.
"We have players from India and Pakistan on our team," Koti Vanga proudly noted of the Strykers Reds. "Only cricket can do that."

Scion of the Dragon
Today I broke through my crushing months long writer's block. Because today I did something that I have literally not done in years: I put a #2 Pencil to wide ruled lined paper and physically wrote something.* I am one of those people with utterly ineligible writing, even to myself sometimes. For a long time I done everything I possibly can with Microsoft Word, because it's just easier and it gets me better grades. And of course from there it's only a small jump to doing my recreational writing electronically as well. It's easier to format, it's easier to post, it makes my spelling and my grammar much better. But it's left me the problem of accessibility, there have been times where I am sized by the urge to write but am in a place where I either can't get to my computer, or can't use it, then by the time I do get to it I will sit there staring at a blank Word Document trying to force myself to put out what I was thinking before. It wasn't till today that I even realized how dependent I had become on my computer, how much material I could have down if I had been willing and able to just put Pen to Paper. I spent a full hour sitting in one place writing in a notebook and never once becoming distracted or sidetracked, and when I went and read what I had just written for the first time to long I didnt completely hate it. Is this a common problem? How dependent are we really on electronics? How much of your writing is done on the computer and how much on pen and paper?

I disdain pen-and-paper writing, because I have a bad habit of pressing too hard on the paper and it hurts my hand and wrist. That, and I'm just a lot faster on the computer (~75 words a minute if you want anything resembling proper spelling out of me) than I am on paper...

Woefully Ineloquent
I was forced to write with a pen on paper for a few years because of limited access to a computer. The moment I had a computer on my desk, I completely switched to writing in Open Office Writer. It's just much easier to manage and edit. When I was forced to stick to paper, I was constantly rewriting the exact same scene from one piece of paper onto an another piece of paper simply because I had to change some stuff around. There's only so much you can do by crossing a line of text and writing above it (And besides, crossing out text just looks ugly.)

Writer's Welcome Wagon
I like writing on paper with pencil. I think the whole spacial aspect of it makes it easier for me to write. Or at least, my writing seems to be better long-handed. There's also the feel of a manila folder and pencils in my pocket. Unfortunately, due to being time-inefficent, I usually use the computer.
About 90% of my writing is pen and paper. In notebooks, on loose-leaf in binders, on napkins, Post-It notes, whatever I can get my hands on. I write in pencil, and make all of my edits and formatting/correction marks in pen. Everything that's not in a notebook is organized into binders. When I finish writing for the day or week, I type everything up, save it to the computer and external hard drive, print it out, and continue my editing on paper. I'm more engaged when I'm physically writing, and more thoughtful. I make less mistakes, and everything flows better. Now, notes about my stories and projects are always done on the computer.

I'm finding that it's much easier to write pencil and paper style. When I'm typeing I keep doubling to spell every word write and make every gramer corection instantly, so that I keep bogging down and lossing my train of thought. With paper I am going on for large swaths of time before I go back and re-read to make corrections and what not. I worry less about getting every detail right and correct and can just write.

I have never maintained a good writing momentum while writing with paper. My brain moves at least three times the speed of my pencil, resulting in weird mistakes where my brain jumps ahead further in the sentence I'm writing and starts mashing words together. And then I lose my train of thought and utterly forget what I wanted to write beyond that sentence I stumbled over. I just prefer not to deal with it altogether.

I do write better with pencil and paper but I don't think it's the medium, so much as the environment. Namely, there is no internet, 'cause I normally use pencil and paper when I'm commuting to and from school/uni/work. To its less computer versus paper, but getting away from distractions. Another bonus is that it makes me do a rough edit when I type it up. That said, I plot/plan on paper, because it can get messy with arrows and lines and stream of consciousness notes.
You must agree, my plan is sheer elegance in its simplicity!

I write quite a lot on paper when cut off from a computer for whatever reason. What I write on paper usually seems better to me than what I type on the word processor. The only reason I can think of is that handwriting is slower than typing, so I get more time to think about where the story's going.

As always, a writing technique that works for you may not work for everybody else. Flaubert (to take one example) was notorious for rewriting and polishing. He didn't even have the option of a word processor, and look how he turned out. I prefer paper. If I'm on a computer, with dozens of other things I could be doing, there's a constant distraction. With paper, I'm writing and that's all I'm doing.
Under World. It rocks!
This is called longhand writing. Stephen King, J.K. Rowling, and Garth Nix do it. They have a tendency to publish, and I say this in the politest manner possible, doorstoppers. I wrote the first 50000 words of my novel's draft in longhand before typing it up. It's the only way I can function, personally. Less distractions, less convoluted sentences, and I don't need electricity to keep working.

Thunder, Perfect Mind
I cite Harlan Ellison for the definitive reason to do a longhand draft before typing the manuscript: It forces you to revise and rethink your writing before you actually edit the text. That said, I don't do as much longhand as I do typing, but I often find myself more satisfied with my first draft when putting pen to paper, even if the next draft (computer) discards 50% or more of the original text.

I usually write things on paper, but typing them up afterwards is kinda a pain, so if I was ever actually writing something I wanted to show to people online I'd probably end up planning it on paper but writing it on a computer or something. That said, I'm more inclined to do comics, for which I also use paper because I'm shit with a mouse and tablets cost money, and I can just use the school's scanners once I'm done with it.
I couldn't conceive a dream so wet; your bongos make me congo.
In addition to that, longhand also engages and forces you to use different parts of the brain. It's a bit more active than typing.
I always write by hand originally. It works best for me, for several reasons mentioned by others: it's slower, so I'm thinking more as I'm writing and this especially helps with getting the characters' voices to come out right (perhaps the one aspect of writing I struggle with the most); there are fewer distractions; having to type up is a "free" opportunity for revision. "First drafts are for finding out what your story is about" (Bernard Malamud) — often a complete scene will end up needing to be replaced as I realise that I went in the wrong direction in the first draft, and psychologically this is much easier to do when I'm typing into a new document than if I had to do it by deleting large chunks of what's already there. But even when I'm keeping the direction of the scene, having to type up every sentence afresh means I can't be lazy, I will be thinking about each sentence as I do it and whether it can be improved.

I love both for drastically different reasons. The magic of graphite on smooth, fresh, brand new paper is like pure uninhibited adrenaline for my mind. I set off on a fantastic adventure, writing several paragraphs of new content for my role-playing campaigns, quick ideas and thoughts; I like sketching a few pictures here and there to keep the idea fresh. On a computer, however, I hold a single strict direction, in which I must complete my set task in less time and space than what would be allowed on paper. I use that approach mostly when I have long stable thoughts I can properly process without losing focus. Both Media are good, but you become a slave to the function of your media while you use it. Paper is free but wild and directionless, while a writing program is more defined but also confining and limited. But don't limit yourself to EITHER one, give yourself that freedom to be able to chose whichever feels right at any time!

I like writing on paper to get my ideas down and then I put them onto the computer. But most of the time I write on paper, I'm always rewriting it and scribbling out stuff but I also get this big bump on my middle finger if I hold the pen too hard or write for too long. That's why I like the computer but it helps to have your stories on paper if something happens to your computer.

Robin Hood
In the days of Robin Hood (medieval times, I guess?), there grew a large tree. Its' branches were thick and extended greatly, it's trunk was large, thick and sturdy. During the time, someone accidentally unleashed the tree's unholy power onto the world and had never been defeated. It is 2008 now (maybe?) and the twelve beings that were unleashed are roaming openly in England. Four people have learnt of the tree and it's evil, and thrust upon themselves the burden of ridding the demons. They decide to start at the tree, where they find scrolls of paper stuffed into the tree. Upon investigating they find that there are riddles on the paper, which they suppose will help them defeat the demons. Or in this case, collect them.
*1 cat
*2 falcon
*3 gryphon
*4 minotaur
*5 nymph
*6 dragon
*7 mannequin
*8 fairy
*9 goblin
*10 angel
*11 pegasus
*12 unicorn
Or something along the sort. Need riddles for each creature....
Forbidden Love
A love between an elven knight and an elven princess. The knight sends letters to the princess expressing everything during his time at the war and about her. But their love is not allowed, for royalty must marry royalty, and when the war is over, the knight comes home to be arrested for treason because the king found out about their love (what an awful run on sentence!). The knight is killed after the princess tells him she's pregnant with their child (the King actually does kill him). She dies in child birth, and the king has the child sent out of the kingdom; he doesn't want to remember the dishonor his daughter befell him.
Part two: description of the princess' daughters life as she grows. On one outing she falls in love with a thief rogue leader guy. The king realizes his fault, finds his granddaughter and offers her a life with him. She accepts, and finds the rogue guy (who also loves her at this point) but they fight; he doesn't want to leave his own 'kingdom'. They get together in the end and unite the ruffians with the noble-classed. Maybe?
Everyone in the world has psychic powers. At a certain age, only 1/10 of the population will discover their powers. Some will use it for themselves, others will feel it is their duty to us it for others. The other 9/10 are out to eliminate the psychics. Much like X-Men.

lease let me introduce Princess. She is a Nubian Goat and she lives with her son and an adopted cousin. They all love each other very much. But when the two little boys get on Princess' nerves, she never hesitates to express her opinion. We adopted Princess when she was pregnant - and we were here when her twin boys were born. Unfortunately, one of her kids did not make it - the vet told us later that it sometime happens that way and he felt she may of been over-bred by her former owner.
Princess has been a great mommy to her own son as well as her cousin who lost his mommy to cancer six months after he was born. She is very sweet, loves salad and trees. And you can always find her in the back yard relaxing in the sun, day dreaming about the Boer Goat next door - whom we think she has a huge crush on.

Understanding who and why the stalker stalks
By Mary Jo Rapini, Licensed Relationship and Family Therapist on January 7, 2013 at 7:53 PM
Stalking is sometimes related to funny stories, but there is nothing funny about stalking. It is a form of harassment and can lead to death. If you have stalking tendencies, there are things you can do to prevent yourself from being a stalker as well. The majority of them have an obsessive pattern which they lose control of. They become co-dependent upon the person, which means they believe they cannot exist without the other person. Going to a Co-Dependency group can help as can going to AA or Al-Anon. Stalkers usually self medicate with drugs and/or drinking as well. Building a social network is important also, as many stalkers live isolated lives. With all problems, the first step is to look inside and be honest with yourself that you have a problem. With this situation, being honest with yourself may save your life as well as the person you are having a relationship with. …

Beveridge is St Kilda director of coaching
Hawthorn assistant coach Luke Beveridge will leave the AFL club at the end of the season to become St Kilda's director of coaching.
Beveridge has looked after the Hawks' backline since joining the club at the end of the 2011 season.
"Despite having offered Luke a contract to remain at the club beyond 2014, we understand his aspirations to step into a more senior role and this position at St Kilda allows him to do so," Hawks football manager Chris Fagan said in a statement.
Fagan, speaking to the AFL website after the Hawks won the 2013 premiership, was full of praise for the former Saints rover.
"His enthusiasm is outstanding. He is a deep thinker on the game so he offers a lot up at match committee, not just with the defensive group he looks after," Fagan said.
"What I really love about him is he is strong on his opinions. He doesn't always offer up what the group-think is. He sometimes thinks in an alternative manner and that is good for the group."

HLA-DRB1 (P04229) - Overview - Molecular Target Synopsis
HLA-DRB1, HLA class II histocompatibility antigen, DRB1-1 beta chain
UniProt P04229
Also Known as 2B11_HUMAN, HLA-DRB1
Binds peptides derived from antigens that access the endocytic route of antigen presenting cells (APC) and presents them on the cell surface for recognition by the CD4 T-cells. The peptide binding cleft accommodates peptides of 10-30 residues. The peptides presented by MHC class II molecules are generated mostly by degradation of proteins that access the endocytic route; where they are processed by lysosomal proteases and other hydrolases. Exogenous antigens that have been endocytosed by the APC are thus readily available for presentation via MHC II molecules; and for this reason this antigen presentation pathway is usually referred to as exogenous. As membrane proteins on their way to degradation in lysosomes as part of their normal turn-over are also contained in the endosomal/lysosomal compartments; exogenous antigens must compete with those derived from endogenous components. Autophagy is also a source of endogenous peptides; autophagosomes constitutively fuse with MHC class II loading compartments. In addition to APCs; other cells of the gastrointestinal tract; such as epithelial cells; express MHC class II molecules and CD74 and act as APCs; which is an unusual trait of the GI tract. To produce a MHC class II molecule that presents an antigen; three MHC class II molecules (heterodimers of an alpha and a beta chain) associate with a CD74 trimer in the ER to form a heterononamer. Soon after the entry of this complex into the endosomal/lysosomal system where antigen processing occurs; CD74 undergoes a sequential degradation by various proteases; including CTSS and CTSL; leaving a small fragment termed CLIP (class-II-associated invariant chain peptide). The removal of CLIP is facilitated by HLA-DM via direct binding to the alpha-beta-CLIP complex so that CLIP is released. HLA-DM stabilizes MHC class II molecules until primary high affinity antigenic peptides are bound. The MHC II molecule bound to a peptide is then transported to the cell membrane surface. In B-cells; the interaction between HLA-DM and MHC class II molecules is regulated by HLA-DO. Primary dendritic cells (DCs) also to express HLA-DO. Lysosomal microenvironment has been implicated in the regulation of antigen loading into MHC II molecules; increased acidification produces increased proteolysis and efficient peptide loading., (Microbial infection) Acts as a receptor for Epstein-Barr virus on lymphocytes. Heterodimer of an alpha and a beta subunit; also referred as MHC class II molecule. In the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) it forms a heterononamer; 3 MHC class II molecules bind to a CD74 homotrimer (also known as invariant chain or HLA class II histocompatibility antigen gamma chain). In the endosomal/lysosomal system; CD74 undergoes sequential degradation by various proteases; leaving a small fragment termed CLIP on each MHC class II molecule. MHC class II molecule interacts with HLA_DM, and HLA_DO in B-cells, in order to release CLIP and facilitate the binding of antigenic peptides.

Having problems with your Pentax Optio S5z Digital Camera ?
My pictures won't transfer from camera to computer any more. It looks like its all working and then is says there is an "acquire error"
Answers :

The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.
Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo cataloging program.

Nintendo and The Pokémon Company International recently re-released the original Pokémon Red, Pokémon Blue and Pokémon Yellow as $10 downloads on the handheld 3DS game system. If you're an adult reading this now because you played the games as a kid and want to revisit them, you'll probably be interested in catching a Mew, which is what the video above is about.
In case you didn't grow up playing Game Boy games in the '90s, here's an explanation from a piece I wrote recently on No Man's Sky:
When I was a kid there was a year or two when basically the only thing I cared about in the entire world was getting a Mew in Pokémon Red. Nowadays there are countless ways to do so, but back then the existence of the special Pokémon was only a rumor, the kind of urban myth that kept kids up at night. We gathered at recess and passed notes in class with theories about beating the Elite 4 999 times with all level 100 Pokémon, or returning to a dock to find Mew under a truck.
As a kid we all thought the only ways to get a Mew were to hack one in using specialty devices like the "Gameshark" or "Action Replay," or to win a contest or stand in line for hours at a local mall when Pokémon went on tour. Turns out there was another way all along; it just took a really long time for anyone to figure it out.
This is still not an "official" way to get a Mew, but it is a method for getting the elusive little critter to appear in the actual game, without any cheating or hacking, and it works perfectly in the new digital versions Nintendo just released on 3DS. So you can finally catch a Mew and raise it as your own—or use it as an HM slave. Your call.

Selected Facilities
APL is a 399-acre, self-contained community with more than 20 major buildings, a 500-seat auditorium and conference facility, a broad range of laboratories and technical facilities, and classrooms and computer labs for the on-site JHU graduate engineering program.
Kossiakoff Conference and Education Center
Kossiakoff Conference and
Education Center
Named after a former Director of the Laboratory, the Kossiakoff Conference and Education Center—affectionately known to most staff as the Kossi or K. Center—is APL's most distinctive building. The facility's 500-seat auditorium is used for a wide variety of APL activities and events, such as APL's weekly Colloquium series, or as a gathering place for staff to watch an APL spacecraft complete its mission by landing on an asteroid.
The center features a large reception area that is used for business-related presentations and luncheons. APL-hosted conferences like the Navy's Submarine Technology Symposium are also held in the Kossiakoff Center.
In addition to the auditorium and reception area, the Kossiakoff Center contains 16 classrooms and computing facilities that support the JHU Whiting School of Engineering and its Engineering for Professionals program, the largest part-time graduate engineering program in the United States. These on-site classes serve APL staff as well as students from local businesses and government agencies.
Advanced Composites Development Laboratory
Advanced Composites Development Laboratory
The Advanced Composites Development Laboratory provides a combination of engineering design, analysis, process development, and fabrication support to produce molded polymer and advanced composite parts in support of APL programs.The facility can fabricate tooling, lay-up materials, and autoclave cure parts from a variety of thermosetting or thermoplastic polymer-based composite systems. Facilities also exist for resin injection molding, vacuum thermoforming, and spin casting of polymers and low-melting point metals. In addition, resin transfer molding is used to make large, complex-geometry composite parts at low cost.The facility supports adhesive bonding and potting of parts including the bonding of sandwich panel structures using foam or honeycomb core materials. Coupling process development with materials characterization and nondestructive evaluation ensures that parts fabricated in the facility meet design and performance specifications. The polymer molding capability supports both manual RTV processes and newly installed spin casting technology, where larger numbers of parts are required. Newly installed rapid prototyping technology allows part masters to be produced directly from CAD files for cost- and time-effective mold development.
Terahertz Laboratory
Terahertz Laboratory
The Terahertz (THz) Laboratory provides imaging and spectroscopy capabilities with electromagnetic waves between roughly 100 GHz and 20 THz (20,000 GHz). Equipment also includes three independent THz time-domain spectrometers (TDS). For a THz TDS, a short electromagnetic pulse is generated by an ultra-short laser pulse in an electro-optic crystal, and the resulting electric field is measured as a function of time. Via Fourier transformation, the frequency spectrum can be obtained, and absorption and dispersion can be calculated as a function of frequency. Two of the setups use a 150-femtosecond laser pulse together with a photoconductive emitter as the THz pulse source, covering the frequency range from about 100 to 2,600 GHz. The third setup uses a 12-femtosecond laser pulse in connection with an electro-optic crystal or polymer, and allows measurements of transmission or reflection over a frequency range from about 1 THz to 12 THz in a dry nitrogen atmosphere to remove water vapor absorption. Current APL projects in THz research involve trace detection of explosives and chemical agents, development of THz sources and imaging arrays, and design of THz meta-materials with novel electromagnetic properties.
Environmental Test Facility
Environmental Test Facility
The reliability of APL-built spacecraft and instruments is based on our capability to test and qualify complete systems, from microchips to satellites. We test spacecraft under conditions as close to the flight environment as possible. That includes simulating environments from ground handling through launch, and powered and orbital flight. An essential part of our testing and assurance process is the Environmental Test Facility (ETF).
The ETF provides laboratories, instrumentation, and data acquisition capabilities for thorough thermal and dynamic environmental testing of flight hardware at all levels of assembly. Continual research and development work is conducted in instrumentation related to properly simulating an environment, testing a package, and acquiring and analyzing the environmental test data. ETF structural dynamics and space simulation testing functions are performed in the Vibration Test and Space Simulation Laboratories.
Field Testing Aboard Ship
Field Testing Aboard Ship
The deck of a ship may not look like other APL facilities, but such on-site locations are a critical part of our work. As a hands-on engineering laboratory, staff members travel wherever projects take them. Testing systems and equipment in the operational environments where a product will be used is a critical part of what we do. Much of our work in the Undersea Warfare Mission Area involves conducting experiments and tests at sea, meaning staff work aboard vessels from submarines to small work boats. We also maintain equipment that is used for submarine and acoustics testing in various oceans, and we develop new products and ideas based on knowledge gained by working in the actual environments where our government sponsors work.
Guidance System Evaluation Laboratory
Guidance System Evaluation Laboratory (GSEL)
The Guidance System Evaluation Laboratory (GSEL) is a real-time, multiple-mode, hardware-in-the-loop facility for end-to-end evaluation of missile operation. It is used to test the guidance section, interfaces to the weapon system and other sections, and missile performance in all tactical conditions. APL staff evaluate missile guidance and seeker hardware, plus associated flight program software, to verify conformance to performance specifications.
The missile flight simulation environment in GSEL includes optical target and scene projection for infrared (IR) guidance sections and anechoic chambers with signal generators for radio frequency (RF) guidance sections. Dual-mode (RF/IR) guidance sections can be tested either electrically connected or co-located inside a dual-mode anechoic chamber. The flight environment can also include multiple moving targets, clutter, variable backgrounds, and countermeasures.

Zargis Medical, a company headed by CEO John Kallassy, MBA '03, was a runner-up in the Medical Devices category of the Wall Street Journal's 2006 Technology Innovation Awards. Zargis Medical was recognized for Cardioscan, the world's first computer-aided stethoscope designed to help physicians identify and evaluate heart murmurs and other sounds that may be indicative of cardiovascular disease. The awards honor breakthrough technologies from around the world in several categories. In selecting award winners, the Wall Street Journal's panel of judges considered whether the submitted innovations represented breakthroughs from conventional methods, as opposed to incremental improvements.
Decoding messages from the heart
Zargis Medical also recently announced summary results of the clinical study it conducted in 2005 in collaboration with Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. The study assessed the impact of the Cardioscan system on referraldecisions made by primary-care physicians regarding heart murmurs. It found that use of the Cardioscan leads to a 41 percent reduction of unnecessary cardiac referrals by physicians, and also improves detection of murmurs associated with potentially harmful heart disease by 46 percent.
MBA grads drive retail strategy
A growing number of retailers are hiring MBAs to help lead and direct their organizations, according to the Wall Street Journal's Sept. 18 article, "More Retailers Shop Business Schools for Talent." Two members of the Johnson School community were highlighted in the article. Janet Carr, MBA '90, a former Gap Inc. executive, was hired by Coach to head a new consumer-insights and strategic-planning group. In addition, Joshua Fine, MBA '07, spent his summer internship at Coach and made several recommendations to senior management about ways to improve MBA recruiting.
Keys to a chef's success: Consistency in quality and cost
Dori Berlin, MBA '97, MMH '98, was featured in a Sept. 20 Wall Street Journal article on chefs with MBAs, "The Main Course: Schools cook up business classes for chefs and restaurant owners." Berlin's joint degrees – a Johnson School MBA combined with a master's of management in hospitality from Cornell's School of Hotel Administration – have served her well.She's now the executive chef and food and beverage manager for Wood Ranch restaurants in southern California. Wood Ranch (www.woodranch.com) is a privately held chain of 10 restaurants specializing in grilling over live wood fires.
Stressing the importance of her MBA training, Berlin comments, "Although the final product in front of you may appear simple, there is a tremendous amount of effort that goes into producing that one item consistently, correctly and at a reasonable cost. The devil is in the details. Chefs not only need to understand how to produce quality food, but they need to be aware of costs, contracts, labor, trends, legal issues etc. From linen to litigation, employees to equipment, plate ware to profits, a chef has to be on top of it all. They need to be able to read P&L's and understand what the numbers are telling them. The restaurant business is very complex. To be successful, a chef needs to always be mindful of the bottom line."
Berlin believes the negotiation skills she gained at the Johnson School have been instrumental in her success. Nearly everything she does involves negotiation. Whether it's trying to get cooks to prepare meals in a consistent way, driving down the price on shrimp, or convincing owners to take a chance on new wines, she's always negotiating. "The concept of 'kinship' really stuck with me," says Berlin in the article. "There are definitely times to play hardball, but I find that, in general, people are much more willing to give you what you want when you establish 'kinship' with them through relationships and trust."
Maureen O'Hara, Robert W. Purcell Professorship in Management, professor of finance, and acting director of graduate studies, took her expertise on the road on a trip to Asia. She spoke at the Kinzai Institute for Financial Affairs about the challenges facing the world's exchanges. In conjunction with that discussion, an interview appeared in the Nikkei Financial Daily (the Nikkei Kinyu Shimbun), Japan's leading financial newspaper. O'Hara also met with the CEO and top executives of the Tokyo Stock Exchange to discuss problems affecting stock exchanges.

Making sense of cents
Sanjeev Bhojraj, associate professor of accounting and faculty director of the Parker Center for Investment Research, is quoted in a September 29 Reuters article, "Analysts miss mark on Wall St. brokerage profits," that appeared in the New York Times, Boston Globe, Yahoo! Finance, MSN Money, and several other publications. Firms that marginally miss analysts' estimates are better off in the long run than companies that beat estimates by managing their earnings, according to research Bhojraj has conducted. Why? "Companies that massage their earnings may cut discretionary expense items, for example, hurting their chances for future growth, " notes the article. "As an investor, you hope (beating estimates) is sustainable," Bhojraj says in the article. "The question to ask is, 'Will it unravel?'"
The Johnson School recently had an opportunity to ring the closing bell for the NASDAQ and the NYSE. On Friday, July 14, Dean Swieringa presided over the closing bell ceremony at NASDAQ. More than 50 Executive MBA and MBA students, alumni, and guests were on hand for the ceremony, which was broadcast on CNBC and Bloomberg. A 30-second Johnson School video also ran on NASDAQ's seven-story-tall video screen in Times Square. Together with many of his classmates, Jeff Anderson, EMBA '08, broker and member of the NYSE with Deutsche Bank Securities, rang the closing bell for the New York Stock Exchange on Friday, September 15.
Ringing the bell
Innate passion
James Goldman, MBA '85, president of Godiva Chocolatier Worldwide, was the featured author for the Oct. 22 edition of the popular New York Times' Sunday column, "The Boss." In his story, "When Retailing Is In the DNA," Goldman shares the personal, academic, and professional experiences that led him to where he is today, and specifically mentions how the Johnson School's student-led Marketing Association influenced his career choices: " . . . in my second year, I discovered the marketing club, and things clicked."
U.S. Air Force veteran Philip Haar, and U.S. Army veteran Mark Hartman, both first-year students at the Johnson School, were featured in a front-page article in the Veterans Day issue (Nov. 11) of the Ithaca Journal, "Back from duty: New veterans join the circle with pride."
Back from duty
Haar, 32, was in the U.S. Air Force for eight years as a pilot of the E-3, also known as an Airborne Warning and Control System aircraft or AWACS. Mark Hartman, 27, spent 17 months in the Middle East between 2002 and 2004. He left the U. S. Army as a captain in May, after five years of service.
In the article, Hartman cited the importance of his military service in providing him with the leadership roles and responsibilities he knew he would need to pursue his long-term goals. Both men also noted that their military experience enhanced their view of the world. "'It's just so eye-opening to go to all of these different places and see what life is like for them, " Haar said. "Being on a vacation someplace is a whole lot different than really serving a country; trying to find out what's valuable to them and what you know about the way things can be that will change their lives for the better."

Last night I went to see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2 at midnight with Haley and Jenny.
This was the second time I'd ever been to any sort of midnight release, the first time was for the final Harry Potter book. So this was my first midnight movie showing!
IT WAS AMAZING! Everyone cheered together, cried together, they knew what was coming and so they gripped their seats in anticipation together, I LOVED IT!
This is what I wore last night. This picture (as well as all the ones below it) were actually taken on my new iPhone 4, which is the best phone I've ever had.
I did my nails in Ravenclaw colors! Gotta represent!
Jenny, Haley, and I! Look at them with their official cloaks and vests, not fair! I ended up putting on my Ravenclaw scarf and a nice little jacket because it was chilly, I'm glad I did because the theater was freezing!
There was a girl with a really good Dobby costume there! Baw that knife ;^;
And that's all. A short entry for today, I have a really huge one coming up. I ended up seeing Harry Potter in 3D, which is what those glasses in the first pic are from. It was so good in 3D! I'm not a fan of 3D movies because when they were first big they were super gimmick-y, like WOAH IT'S COMING RIGHT AT YOU! But this was really nice. Also the 3D glasses were shaped like Harry's!
Here's a close-up of the case I got for my iPhone. It's from Strapya World! So cute and for a great price :]
I think that's it, all left is to say:
Mischief Managed.

What do you think about prostitution? Should it be legal? Have you ever tried it and, if yes, how?
EDIT: For anyone reading this, I am interested in whether you hired a prostitute, or offered your services in exchange of money. I am not looking for tips on how to hire a prostitute. :)
Views: 414
If it were an ordinary place of business, with W2 forms, ID req'd, tax forms, probably licensing, etc, it'd be HARDER not easier, to grab illegals and minors who do not want to work as prostitutes.
I respectfully disagree with your disagreement. In countries in which prostitution is not done in secrecy (for example, Thailand), human trafficking is rampant (this according to a US State Department report on trafficking issued last year, as well as in previous years). I don't believe people are exploited because of the secrecy. I believe people are exploited because there's money to be had, just as in running weapons or drugs; and exploiters are hard to catch because they know how to hide.
I seriously doubt that requiring W2s, taxes, IDs, etc. will make the already existing (and prospering) underground cease to be underground. If pimps aren't concerned with the welfare of the people they buy and sell as commodities, they'll hardly bother with tax paperwork.
Sure, but they'll run out of customers pretty quick. Hiring a prostitute in current circumstances can be dangerous for many different reasons, and I think that the customers would appreciate a safer way to do it.
And I don't think that prostitution in Thailand is really controlled by anybody except the pimps.
Intelligence Squared US had this debate:
It was a good one.
It should be legalized and regulated.
I have never paid for nor been paid for sex.
I must say that I do find the whole idea of paying for sex or being paid for sex somewhat icky....please don't judge me.....
Yes, it should be legal. I agree with Jean Marie's reasons why.
No I have never hired a prostitute, however I have hired strippers, as I use to manage a bar in which we had an occasional, fun night for the costumers. I do not see strippers and prostitutes as one in the same though..

"Albert Lee" is an English guitarist.
Albert Lee
"Albert Lee" was born on December 21, 1943 in Leominster, Herefordshire, England. He grew up in Blackheath, London. His father was a musician, and Albert studied piano. During this time, like many of his age, he became a fan of Buddy Holly, and also Jerry Lee Lewis. He took up guitar in 1958, and left school at age 16 to play full-time the following year.
Lee was with a variety of bands from 1959 onwards, playing mostly country music and rock and roll. Band membership changed constantly, and he might step into a role vacated by Jimmy Page, and in turn have Ritchie Blackmore step in for him. During his time playing with Heads Hands & Feet, Lee became a "guitar hero", playing his Fender Telecaster at breakneck speed.
Despite positive press from Melody Maker and New Musical Express his career never seemed to take off. Despite his technical wizardry he seems to have lacked the stage presence that his peers enjoyed, mainly because he has been described by his peers, as a complete gentleman, who does not know the meaning of the word, ''ego''. He left for Los Angeles, California in 1974 as offers of session ...

We finally have some actual screenshots from DC Universe Online, as opposed to the thumbnail sized ones we saw on the game's MySpace page. Like the E3 trailer, they seem to be focusing on the well-known denizens of the DC Universe. Keep in mind you won't actually be able to play as one of them, but rather as hero/villain you create on your own.
SOE has also announced they will be "revealing exciting new details" about DCUO at Comic-Con, which begins tomorrow. There will also be a "first-ever public demonstration" taking place, so if you are a fan of all this superhero business and you are around San Diego, drop by and check it out.

Morris Sheppard (1875-1941) was born May 28, 1875, in Wheatsville, Texas. He received his AB degree from the University of Texas in 1895 and his LLB in 1897. He also earned an LLM degree from Yale University, before beginning his law practice in Pittsburgh and Texarkana. In 1902, Sheppard was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives to fill the space left vacant by his father's death. He served until 1913 when he became a U.S. Senator, a post he would hold until his own death in 1941.
Among his notable legislative achievements, Sheppard introduced the law that would become the Eighteenth Amendment, outlawing intoxicating beverages and ushering in the era of Prohibition. He also assisted Andrew J. Volstead in writing the Prohibition enforcement law. Sheppard served as chairman of the expenditures committee for the Department of Agriculture and in 1932 became chair of the military affairs committee. Among his other committee assignments were commerce, irrigation and reclamation, appropriations, and manufactures.
The Morris Sheppard Papers, 1894-1953, reflect his contributions to national politics as well as his literary efforts. Included are political speeches written by Sheppard on a wide range of topics, as well as a large collection of speeches devoted to the Woodmen of the World Life Insurance Association.
Another large component of the papers consists of material relating to Sheppard's

Access to Culture
Access to Culture has become a major topic on the cultural policy agenda of Europe as well as on other levels of government. The European Civil Society Platform on Access to Culture reported:
"Access to Culture is an essential right of all citizens but becomes fundamental in the case of those with economic and social challenges […] However, there is a notable gap and a lack of political and public debate on and between principles and commitments, and everyday practices of fostering Access to Culture".[1]
Further relevance on the knowledge on the interaction between European priority setting on Access to Culture and the impact on national policy is enhanced by the current debate on the new EU Culture Programme 2014-2020, focusing on Access to Culture and the "development of long term audiences on European works"[2].
The proposed project aims at interrogating the gap between social reality and political normativity in the area of Access to Culture and to develop a set of recommendations to the European Union, aiming to improve European thinking on this issue and to interlink national discourse and the European dimension. Feasibility of recommendations will be given by the compilation and assessment of indicators on Access to Culture policy and implementation, applicable all across the countries of the Union and beyond.
Our main questions are:
- What is the meaning of Access to Culture, which aims will be achieved and which instruments are employed?
- How and why do the definitions and instruments of Access to Culture differ (in terms of approach/content and target groups) among countries?
- How interlinks national implementations and European cultural policy setting?
- How to evaluate the progress in Access to Culture?
Hereby a policy analysis method will investigate the European and national dimensions of Access to Culture. Moreover the assessment and development of indicators will make further development feasible for experts and policy makers.
Additionally the grouping aims to facilitate an open process and will invited national stakeholders to the meetings and implement discussion between national and European context of Access to Culture policies by round tables. This will contribute to the dimensions of Access to Culture as accessibility to cultural policy for partners´ nations and Europe.
The key competence of each partner impact the grouping as steering partnership.
The regional relevance will enable a comparative understanding among European Union and beyond (Turkey as gate to the South East).

What is Auto-downsizing of imported photos
Most modern digital cameras produce very high resolution images, that are typically unnecessarily large. These take a lot of memory and can produce very large files. For example importing a typical 5 MByte digital camera image will add 5 MBytes to any saved .xar file. So importing 10 such images into a document could easily add 50 Mbytes to the file size.
If you select to have images reduced they are created at 1920 pixels wide (same as TV HD resolution) which is typically good enough for any screen and most print work. Selecting the 'Don't ask again' check-box will prevent this alert appearing again, and it will always do whichever option you choose from this point on.

The article helps reader in knowing the description about the oil and gas field services industry.
Oil and gas field servicesindustry is one of the booming industries for almost last five decades. This is one of the types of service industries that provide services to oil and gas field companies for extraction, drilling, refining, transportation and etc.
The oil and gas field services industry serves as per the size of the firms in oil and gas fields. The oil and gas field firms are either large integrated firms or small or medium size firms.
The large integrated firms require large number of oil and gas field services. Whereas, most of the medium and small size firms are only making profits in specialized functions related to oil and gas field segments. Therefore, they require some special form of services related to oil and gas field sector.
Consumers for Oil and gas field services:
The consumers are divided in two categories
The primary consumers include oil and gas exploration and production companies. They require exploring and drilling equipments and services related to them.
Secondary consumers include the firms that are converting the oil and gas in other forms of energies. They include the refineries and other oil processing power plants.
The Market size of oil and gas field services industry
As stated earlier, the market is enormous. The demand for the services varies directly with the capital investment related to the exploration of oil and gas.
The other factor that influences the demand for the service providers is the price for oil and gas. The fluctuations results in changing the market size. For instance, if the price of the petroleum products increases, the companies will look for drilling service providers to meet the maximum demand.
The market size for the gas and oil field services industry shrinks for the regions from where the oil and gas field is mature.
As stated earlier, the oil and gas field services are related to the refineries as well. They need services as well. There services industry provide services related to transportation, engineering and packaging..
Consequently, depending on several supply and demand factors, the market size for the oil and gas field services is immense. There exists great rivalry among competitors within the industry.
Due to increased rivalry, the bargaining power of customers (Oil and gas field services buyers) is high. What the gas and oil field agencies do is hire the service providers on the contract basis. Most of the time, the governments make contract with the renowned service providers for the exploration and extraction of oil and gas from the fields.
The firms are different EPCs which provide their expertise from exploration and extracting the oil and gas from the fields to converting the raw material into well processed finished good.
The oil and gas field services industry provides expertise of different forms to produce the high end hydrocarbon products for different uses. This service industry requires transparency, large number of labor and high end technology advancements for carrying out efficient procedures.

Here is some general info I think everyone should be aware of. Laxative sales exceed $700 million annually. They're usually the first thing that comes to mind when most people think about constipation relief, but they often bring serious health risks and are not a valid or complete solution.
Many different types of laxatives are available and they utilize very different ingredients to achieve essentially the same result—eliminating blockage. Generally speaking, laxatives can be lumped into three categories: osmotic laxatives, stimulant laxatives, and bulk forming laxatives.
1. Osmotic Laxatives
Osmotic Laxatives cause excess fluids to be drawn into the intestines in a slow process that can take up to a few days to increase the stool's fluid bulk. Basically, osmotics turn the stool into diarrhea so it's easier to pass. This type of laxative can also cause severe dehydration and electrolyte depletion from water loss, as well as cramping and bloating due to gas buildup during the initial waiting period.
Examples of Osmotic Laxatives
- Lactulose: Duphalac®, Kristalose®, and Actilax® (Lactulose)
- Sorbitol: Sorbilax®
- Polyethylene glycol compounds: MiraLAX®
- Magnesium Hydroxide (milk of magnesia): Phillip's® Milk of Magnesia, Dulcolax® Milk of Magnesia, and Freelax®
2. Stimulant Laxatives
Stimulant laxatives are made with harsh, often toxic chemicals or herbs that cause the intestinal muscles to spasm and contract. The popularity of stimulant laxatives stems from the fact they start working in a matter of hours. Unfortunately, stimulant laxatives can also cause the same diarrhea, dehydration, and gas-related pain as osmotic laxatives.
If overused, stimulant laxatives can become incredibly addictive and cause long-term damage to the sensitive intestinal lining. The intestines can quickly grow dependent on stimulant laxatives to trigger a "false" bowel movement, thus preventing normal intestinal contractions. This condition, known as "lazy bowel syndrome," ultimately results in a long-term battle with chronic constipation and the loss of bowel muscle tone and strength.
Examples of Stimulant Laxatives
- Senna: Fleet® Liquid Glycerin Suppositories, Rite Aid® Senna Laxative, Traditional Medicinals® Smooth Move Herbal Stimulant Laxative Tea, ex-lax®, Senokot®
- Cascara Sagrada: Nature's Way® Cascara Sagrada Aged Bark
- Castor Oil: Swan® Castor Oil, Now® Foods Castor Oil
- Bisacodyl: Correctol® Bisacodyl Stimulant Laxative, Fleet Bisacodyl®, Dulcolax®, Gentlax®-Rite Aid® Corrective Laxative Tablet
3. Bulk-forming Laxatives
Bulk-forming laxatives use highly absorbent materials (usually dead fiber instead of live fiber such as live fruits and vegetables) to increase overall stool mass. As the stool increases in size, the bowels are forced to expend more energy to force out the mass.
Fiber and increased stool mass are both usually good things, but bulk-forming laxatives can be dangerous since they have the potential to clog the bowels. Psyllium, used in most OTC (over-the-counter) fiber laxatives, can sometimes be troublesome and is one of the most common herbal ingredients in colon cleansers and especially in OTC fiber laxatives.
Examples of Bulk-Forming Laxatives
- Psyllium: Metamucil® Psyllium Fiber
- Guar Gum: Benefiber®
- >Methyl Cellulose: Citrucel®
There have been numerous reports of serious allergic reactions following the ingestion of Psyllium products. These reactions include labored breathing, skin irritations or hives, and potentially life-threatening anaphylaxis. Long-term use of products containing Psyllium may also negatively affect absorption of certain essential vitamins and minerals such as iron. Perhaps most ironically, obstruction of the gastrointestinal tract has also been regularly cited in studies of patients taking Psyllium products. These studies suggest this problem is especially common in constipation-prone individuals.
While good oxygen-based intestinal cleansers will attack the source of the constipation, traditional constipation treatments (such as laxatives) may only temporarily relieve the most common symptoms of constipation and do nothing to address the compaction or heal the delicate intestinal tissue.

I have had to deal with ghosts all my life but I still question my own sanity. I have met the ones that don't know you are there and the ones that like to interact, but its the ones that turn up to where I live after I have been there for a while that make me wounder if I am not just well mad. Like where I live now.. I had been here a few months before the one that is here now came along. I had been on another forum before and asked this question and they just told me all ghosts are imprints of the past but that doesn't seem right at all, I mean how can that be when they talk to you and answer your questions. Needless to say I left that forum when they started shouting at me insisting that they are right and whining like babys.
Anyways... sorrys getting off track (~^-^~) let me know what ya think.. thanks

Solano Sits Out Trip
The Peruvian will miss Newcastle United's UEFA Cup tie with Levadia on Thursday after damaging his hamstring in training.
Solano was missing at Newcastle airport as the rest of the squad flew out to face the Estonian side in Tallinn.
Roeder: 'Nobby pulled up in training and we are hoping it is not too serious.
'He will have a scan while we are away and, until we get the result, we do not really know whether he will be with us when we go to West Ham on Sunday.'
Solano was an unused substitute on Saturday when the Mags threw away three points against Fulham.

Release Notes: This release fixes several bugs that caused previous versions to crash, freeze, not compile, or be partially or totally unusable, depending on the user's system.
Release Notes: Support for Impulse Tracker's Ctrl+D selection command (Select 16 notes) was added. A bug that causes CheeseTracker to crash when working with selections was fixed.
Release Notes: With the help of libaudiofile, this release supports many formats that had to be treated as raw in previous versions, and WAV files load better than in previous versions. Some of the formats now supported include AIFF/AIFF-C, AU, and .voc. ADPCM-compressed and IEEE floating-point WAV files can now be loaded correctly, and several bugs were fixed.
Release Notes: A bug with selections in the Pattern Editor (F2) was fixed.
Release Notes: This release adds full support for stereo samples to the next-most-recent release. Additionally, better-than-stereo samples can be loaded and saved correctly (in CheeseTracker (*.ct) modules only), although they are still played back in stereo. There have been 3 prior releases of CheeseTracker that have gone unannounced on Freshmeat. These releases add better keyboard support, and the ability to load 24-bit and greater WAV files (which are however degraded to 16 bits in the process).
Release Notes: This version adds several interface enhancements, bugfixes, new effects, and improved filters.
Release Notes: This release fixes a critical bug in IT saving.
Release Notes: This release includes layered instruments, a complex effect buffer/chains routing system with LADSPA support and process-on-demand, previews on sample file selector, JACK and RTAUDIO output drivers, tuning tools in the sample editor, and Mac OS X native support (using Qt/ MAC). Countless bugs were also fixed.
Release Notes: The GUI and half of the mixing engine was rewritten from scratch. Qt and an MDI approach have been employed. A full-featured sample editor was added, and most of the bugs in the previous version were fixed.
Release Notes: Addition of stereo chorus per channel, minor bugfixes, and small interface enhancements.
