It is an overcast, humid day here at Sun Life.
Driving in, I saw a ton of fans wearing Steelers jerseys. It was more than I would prefer to see. Before we get started with the live blog that we always do on game day (it begins in the comment section below and will migrate every quarter), before I tell you the inactives, I would ask you check out my column in The Miami Herald today.
If you haven't seen it, I take a look at Jeff Ireland and Bill Parcells and that entire dynamic. I did a lot of interviews behind the scenes for the column, so I feel confident in telling you what Bill Parcells is likely to be doing as he continues drifting away from the Dolphins, I tell you what trade Ireland tried to make in the days prior to the trade deadline, and I tell you how the Davone Bess contract extension went from dead to done.
Something I've heard this morning that I also have to share with you: Several people have asked me if Ireland was the guy who picked Pat White. Seems that pick more than any other is the measurement of whether a guy is ready to lead a personnel dept. or not.
The truth is Pat White was a Miami Dolphins pick. It was a Parcells pick because he studied the quarterback on film and watched him in West Virginia's bowl game and then in the Senior Bowl and he was smitten. Months before the draft, Parcells told several folks at a spring baseball game he really, really liked White.
Guess what? EVeryone else in the Dolpins organization, including Ireland, went along. I am not aware of anyone in the organization that said, "I'm going to hold my breath until we agree we're not picking this guy."
So it was a organizational error to pick White. It wasn't Ireland. It wasn't Parcells. It wasn't coach Tony Sparano. It was everyone. If you can't accept that sometimes organizations make mistakes, then you don't know football. As long as every mistake is covered by at least as many home runs, we're good.
So if you've got Shawn Murphy and Pat White, you better have Bess and Dan Carpenter. So far, the Dolphins have that balance.
It is still early for the inactives so come back for that update and come back for the live blog. Should be a fun game. And yes, I picked the Dolphins to win.
[UPDATE: The inactives are Marlon Moore, Deon Anderson, Robert Rose, Patrick Brown, John Jerry, Jeron Mastrud, Quentin Moses and Tyler Thigpen is the third QB.]


text: Top Trends for Buying, Financing and Leasing Equipment in the New Year January 15, 2013 08:09 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Nate Birt Top Producer Managing Editor Email Industry trends suggest tax opportunities and favorable credit conditions might benefit U.S. farmers looking to purchase equipment this year. That's according to the Equipment Leasing and Finance Association, which has drawn on industry-wide data in sectors such as agriculture, construction, medicine and transportation to build a list of 10 acquisition trends for 2013. Overall, data indicate investment in agricultural equipment likely will contract during the first quarter of this year, according to a report from the Equipment Leasing and Finance Foundation titled "2013 Equipment Leasing & Finance U.S. Economic Outlook". Overall, agricultural equipment manufacturers have expressed optimism about future consumer demand in the aftermath of the nationwide drought thanks in part to strong cash receipts. Chart courtesy of Equipment Leasing & Finance Foundation Sources for the Equipment Leasing and Finance Association's list include the 2013 finance outlook, industry experts and input from association members at meetings and conferences. With that focus, here are the top 10 acquisition trends this year: Corporate perceptions of the economic outlook will be a primary driver of business investment decisions. Equipment investment will pick up in the second half of 2013. Pent-up demand will spur investment across varied equipment types. In his blog "Your Precious Land," for example, Mike Walsten of Pro Farmer quotes a real estate expert who says farmers continue to invest in equipment along with land. A continuing low interest rate environment will enable companies to acquire the equipment they need and conserve cash. That's true for people agriculture, experts recently told Top Producer. Interest rates are anticipated to remain at their lowest level in the last half-century through at least this year, so producers should identify ways to lock in fixed rates before that changes. A majority of U.S. businesses will use some form of financing for equipment acquisition. While leasing might not be as popular an option for agricultural equipment this year thanks to the extension of Section 179 and bonus depreciation incentives, it remains an option from a variety of manufacturers. Consider opportunity costs when deciding whether a lease makes sense. Watch Equipment Leasing and Finance Association President William Sutton discuss the top equipment acquisition trends for 2013: Business size will impact equipment acquisition. The gaining prominence of cloud computing will transform the way businesses pay for IT investments. It's true for farming: Offsite information storage is making it more cost-effective for operators to access and share software. Credit market conditions will remain favorable for long-term equipment financing. Some institutions offer farmers special financing programs that can be used to fund inputs and consolidate debt, among other actions. The one-year extension of bonus depreciation may provide incentives for businesses to acquire equipment. Farmers who put new assets such as equipment and machine sheds into use between Jan. 1, 2012 and Dec. 31, 2013 can take advantage of a 50% deduction known as bonus depreciation. There is no investment limit or taxable income limit for that deduction. Although the value of lease financing will remain, businesses will begin to adapt their equipment acquisition strategies to comply with long-awaited changes to lease accounting standards.

Thursday is not just our favorite day because it's closest to Friday. It's also the day we check our Instagram feeds on an hourly basis for #TBT posts. And thanks to Jessica Biel, we found possibly our favorite throwback photo of all time. (Seriously, we can't look at it without laughing.)
The actress shared the above pic of herself in an outfit that probably looks familiar, because you wore something similar in the late '90s. (Or at least we did.) "I circled everything that's wrong with this picture. #TBT," she captioned the snap of her flare jeans, tube top and, yes, we think those are rubber Rocket Dog platforms on her feet.

We did some digging on the photo and found out Biel (and her tan lines) hit the red carpet in this ensemble at the 1998 premiere of Halloween H2O in Westwood, Calif. The outfit looks straight out of Mary Camden's closet, which makes sense because this was at the height of Biel's 7th Heaven fame. (It was also the height of husband Justin Timberlake's ramen noodle hair to give you more pop culture historical reference.)
What do you think of Biel's TBT moment? Do you have a similar photo in your arsenal? Share your thoughts below!

text: Labeling Mechanically Tenderized Meat Products July 15, 2013 02:00 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By University News Release Email Labeling mechanically tenderized meat products By Jeannine Schweihofer, Michigan State University The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food Safety Inspection Service (FSIS) issued a proposed rule for needle or blade tenderized beef products. The proposal states that "mechanically tenderized" be included in the product name. In addition to the product name, cooking instructions will also be required to indicate that mechanically tenderized beef be cooked to a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit and then allowed to rest for three minutes. Mechanically tenderizing meat is a process done to an intact subprimal of meat where dozens of blades or needles are sent through the muscle surface hundreds of times to improve tenderness by breaking apart connective tissue and/or deliver an injection solution. This process improves product consistency and increases tenderness. We are typically not as concerned with internal temperatures of whole muscle products, like steak, because bacteria cannot reach beyond the surface. But, according to Michigan State University Extension, mechanical tenderization makes it possible for bacteria to move to the center of a whole muscle product. The proposed rule addresses the possibility of pathogens being driven from the surface into the internal portions of a muscle that becomes the inside of a steak. Very few outbreaks – six since 2009 – have been associated with tenderized steaks. Of those outbreaks, there were minimal hospitalizations (32) and no deaths. Four of the six outbreaks were associated with marinade or injection of a flavoring that was done in addition to the blade or needle tenderizing. Although this requirement for labeling would bring more transparency to consumers, it does not necessarily prevent a foodborne illness from occurring with a mechanically tenderized meat product. One researcher from Kansas State University indicates that the ideal way to improve food safety of mechanically tenderized meat products is to treat subprimals using validated interventions (ie. organic acid spray) before the muscle goes through injection or tenderization. The researcher indicates that restaurants, which prepare a large proportion of the mechanically tenderized product might not always follow cooking recommendations. Furthermore, consumers may not fully understand the difference between a mechanically tenderized product and traditional meat cuts. There is no guarantee that consumers will follow the cooking recommendations any more than a restaurant will. The comment period on this proposed rule is open until Aug. 9, 2013, and can be made to USDA FSIS via instructions given in the proposed rule and must include FSIS 2012-0013 in the communication.

Scripture: 1Thessalonians (NIV) 4:6a The Lord will punish all those who commit such sins (from context: sexual immorality, self-control, lust, taking advantage) as we told you and warned you before.
7 For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life.
8 Therefore, anyone who rejects this instruction does not reject a human being but God, the very God who gives you his Holy Spirit.
Observation: God our Creator has the right to set such boundaries. He has the right to tell us what is holy and what is impure. He created us with a purpose in mind. He created us to excel in certain areas, and in order for us to excel in those areas, we have limitations. Doing some things will harm us, and harm our potential. God has placed those things off limits for our own good. He calls them sin. They are against His nature, and we were created in His image.
God created us to live holy lives for that is the only way we can fulfill His purpose.
Application: There is great reward in living for God. The more I know him and the more I love him, I am finding that the greatest reward is in knowing that I please him.
Prayer: Lord, the more I understand how sin caused you so much pain and suffering on the cross, the more I desire to walk holy and pleasing to you. Thank you for forgiving me. Thank you for cleansing me. Thank you for giving me your Holy Spirit to empower me to live each day. Amen
Pastor Leon
Making friends for time and eternity!

March 8, 2006
CAMBRIDGE, MASS. - Jordan Wan became the first player in the history of the MIT men's volleyball program to eclipse the 3,000-assist mark while Ryan Dean established a new Institute record for digs in a season in the Engineers' 30-26, 30-27, 27-30, 30-20 loss to Harvard University on Wednesday. With 40 assists, Wan brought his career tally to 3,017 and Dean posted six digs to eclipse the previous mark of 256.
After trading points to open the match, Tech (17-8) went on a 5-0 run to take an 8-4 lead. MIT maintained a small advantage throughout a majority of the frame, but the Crimson (5-9) continued to attack. Trailing 22-18, Harvard notched a pair of three-point bursts that eventually put it ahead, 24-23. The Engineers regained the lead, before the Crimson scored the next three points, forcing an MIT timeout. Coming out of the break, Tech cut the deficit to one (27-26), however, the Crimson picked up the next three points for the win.
Like the first game, the Engineers rattled off four consecutive points to build a 7-4 advantage. Harvard later responded with a four-point run which resulted in an 11-9 lead. The contest saw six ties and two lead changes until the Crimson posted back-to-back points for a 19-17 margin. Harvard maintained the small cushion as Tech came within one on several occasions, the last occurring at 28-27.
In the third stanza, it was Harvard that established an early advantage at 11-7. Following a timeout, MIT outscored the Crimson, 7-2, to take its first lead of the frame. The game was closely played as Harvard regained the advantage and posted a two-point margin (18-16). The Engineers captured the next point and a block by Praveen Pamidimukkala knotted the contest for the last time as they turned a two-point deficit into a two-point lead. The Crimson remained within striking distance as it cut the margin to one (22-21). Three unanswered points by Tech helped propel it to the victory.
Harvard quickly took the first five points of the final frame, which forced MIT to play catch-up for the rest of the game. The Engineers were able to come within two (14-12), but the Crimson went on a four-point run that put the game out of reach.
Pamidimukkala had a solid outing as he finished with a team-high 14 kills, four assisted blocks, and nine digs. Kenneth Rosche notched 13 kills and a hitting percentage of .417 while Michelangelo Raimondi contributed eight digs and four assisted blocks. In addition to his record-breaking performance in the dig category, Dean totaled two aces and four assists.
The next match for MIT will be on Saturday, March 11 at 1:00 p.m. when it hosts Johnson & Wales University.

Revision as of 03:07, 7 December 2011
Gitweb is the default web interface provided with git itself and is the basis for other git scripts like cgit, gitosis and others.
To install gitweb you first have to install git and a webserver. For this example we use apache but you can also use others:
pacman -S git apache
Next you need to link the current gitweb default to your webserver location. In this example I use the default folder locations:
ln -s /usr/share/gitweb /srv/http/gitweb
That's it for the "installation". Next is the configuration.
Add the following to the end of you /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
<Directory "/srv/http/gitweb"> DirectoryIndex gitweb.cgi Allow from all AllowOverride all Order allow,deny Options ExecCGI <Files gitweb.cgi> SetHandler cgi-script </Files> SetEnv GITWEB_CONFIG /etc/conf.d/gitweb.conf </Directory>
You can put the configuration in it's own config file in /etc/httpd/conf/extra/ but that's up to you to decide.
If you're using lighttpd, make sure mod_alias, mod_redirect, mod_cgi and mod_setenv are loaded. Add the following to /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf:
server.modules += ( mod_setenv ) setenv.add-environment = ( "GITWEB_CONFIG" => "/etc/conf.d/gitweb.conf" ) url.redirect += ( "^/gitweb$" => "/gitweb/" ) alias.url += ( "/gitweb/" => "/usr/share/gitweb/" ) $HTTP["url"] =~ "^/gitweb/" { cgi.assign = (".cgi" => "") server.indexfiles = ("gitweb.cgi") }
Gitweb config
Next we need to make a gitweb config file. Open (or create if it does not exist) the file Template:Filename and place this in it:
$git_temp = "/tmp"; # The directories where your projects are. Must not end with a slash. $projectroot = "/path/to/your/repositories"; # Base URLs for links displayed in the web interface. our @git_base_url_list = qw(git://<your_server> http://git@<your_server>);
To enable "blame" view (showing the author of each line in a source file), add the following line:
$feature{'blame'}{'default'} = [1];
Now the the configuration is done, please restart your webserver. For apache:
/etc/rc.d/httpd restart
Or for lighttpd:
/etc/rc.d/lighttpd restart
Syntax highlighting
To enable syntax highlighting with Gitweb, you have to first install the highlight package from [community]:
pacman -S highlight
When highlight has been installed, simply add this line to your Template:Filename:
$feature{'highlight'}{'default'} = [1];
Save the file and highlighting should now be enabled.
Adding repositories
To add a repository go to your repository folder, make your repository like so:
mkdir my_repository.git git init --bare my_repository.git/ cd my_repository.git/ touch git-daemon-export-ok echo "Short project's description" > description
Next open the "config" file and add this:
[gitweb] owner = Your Name
This will fill in the "Owner" field in gitweb. It's not required.
I assumed that you want to have this repository as "central" repository storage where you push your commits to so the git-daemon-export-ok and --bare are here to have minimal overhead and to allow the git daemon to be used on it.
That is all for making a repository. You can now see it on your http://localhost/gitweb (assuming everything went fine). You do not need to restart apache for new repositories since the gitweb cgi script simply reads your repository folder.
Thanks to...
This howto was mainly based on the awesome howto from howtoforge: http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-install-a-public-git-repository-on-a-debian-server I only picked the parts that are needed to get it working and left the additional things out.

On the Map
A Mind-Expanding Exploration of the Way the World Looks
Simon Garfield
Gotham: 464 pp., $27.50
Here's what I like about maps: They offer a clarity, a shape, to the world. They suggest routes and boundaries, allow us to explore widely, even (or especially) if we don't leave home. They speak of possibilities, both in terms of places we may visit and those we will never visit, while supporting the comforting illusion that our surroundings are contained. I look at them nearly every day — not just to get to where I'm going but also to look back at where I've been.
Given their ubiquity (who hasn't searched for his or her house on Google Maps or used a smartphone GPS app?), it's easy to take maps for granted. And yet, Simon Garfield points out in "On the Map: A Mind-Expanding Exploration of the Way the World Looks," they come with their own history, their own evolution, important not just for fixing our place in the world but also for telling us what that place means.
Take the Mappa Mundi, a 13th century British map, drawn on a "large shank" of cowhide, which uses physical locations — Jerusalem stands at its center — to get at metaphysical considerations, "a map-guide, for a largely illiterate public, to a Christian life."

Now we have nothing against or New Mexico, for that matter. How can you hate anything a.k.a. the Land of Enchantment? It's a spiritual place, unlike its next door neighbor, Arizona, Land of Repressive Law.
Anyway, thanks to the casino dole, a Grade 3 in New Mexico will have a profound effect on the Kentucky Derby. Whoever wins it, know that there only will be 19 remaining stalls in the Louisville starting gates once the race is made official.
With half of the $800,000 purse going to the winner, whoever finishes first is virtually guaranteed a spot in America's Race. Who knows, we could be talking about the next Mine That Bird, winner of the 2009 Kentucky Derby at triple digits?
Now, we have nothing against Chip Wooley, either, a good man and capable horseman, but did anyone ever take his horse very seriously before or after the big day? It took a sloppy track and death-defying rail skimmer from Calvin Borel to get that job done.
And, of course, that was the last victory of his career. In fact, until Animal Kingdom won his turf return at the current Gulfstream Park meet, Big Brown was the last horse to win a race subsequent to the Derby, but I digress.
It likely is that Mine That Bird will prove to be the exception; the Sunland Derby winner repeating in Louisville. Everybody knows this, but he will be there trying if he comes back well.
The point is this that as it stands now, the Grade 3 Sunland Derby is as important to Derby eligibility as the Grade 1 Wood Memorial, Santa Anita Derby, Blue Grass or Arkansas Derby, traditional final Derby preps in which good horses must face other good horses.
The Sunland Derby winner does not have to beat one serious divisional contender to punch his ticket to Kentucky. Does that sound like the Kentucky Derby will be all that it can be?
Of the eight starters, only two are graded winners this late in the game, each with one victory in that class; Castaway, a division of the G3 Southwest Stakes, a prep for the prep for the Arkansas Derby, and Daddy Knows Best, winner of the G3 El Camino Real Derby on Golden Gate's Tapeta surface.
The connections, however, are more significant than the horses. Bob Baffert also entered an uncoupled stablemate, Stirred Up, who has more than a puncher's chance. Todd Pletcher entered Ender Knieval, with a puncher's chance,
Steve Asmussen, meanwhile, will try to make it two straight with Daddy Nose Best, who is a worthy Derby candidate, to be sure. But the thing is that a first, or even second-place finish in some cases, by any of the big three trainers would allow them mega-multiple Derby horses, to the exclusion of others with more demonstrable class.
As it stands now, if Gemologist or Alpha, rated among the Top half-dozen on just about anyone's list, do not pick up a lion's share of a graded purse next out, then they won't be dancing on May's first Saturday. Why do you think Alpha has been re-routed something like four times? He's proven his class but lacks the graded money.
Does that make sense? Does the graded earnings eligibility rule make sense? Since the Derby has become the only race America pays attention to anymore, Derby eligibility rules shouldn't be skewered to getting the best of the best in the gate six weeks from now?
Deja Vu All Over Again
Or circle marks the spot, as New York-bred Went The Day Well took the lead at headstretch and, despite racing greenly, gathered himself a furlong from home and drew out to a clear cut score in the G3 Vinery Spiral Stake.
In taking the half-million Turfway Park centerpiece, Went the Day well emulated stablemate Animal Kingdom, who parlayed his Spiral victory last year into a Kentucky Derby title. The victory gave Johnny Velazquez a sweep of the Bourbonette Oaks and Spiral.
Unlike Animal Kingdom who had no dirt experience going into the Derby, Went the Day Well broke his maiden on the dirt at Gulfstream Park March 3. Todd Pletcher's longer half of his uncoupled entry, Holiday Promise, finished second while the better regarded entrant, Heavy Breathing, the pressured pace setter was third.
Handsome Mike, the anticipated pacesetter, broke tardily from the extreme outside in the two turn event, raced very wide while well back into the first turn, but rallied gamely in deep stretch and finished a very respectable fourth.
So, what about this colt, Mr. Motion, any plans beyond this?
"I was very impressed with him," said Motion. "Apart from a little greenness (in the stretch) he couldn't have been better. When Animal Kingdom won this race last year, he was very explosive, but this horse was a little explosive, too
"The beauty of this race is you have the option to run him one more time or not run more time. Probably the only option is the Lexington Stakes. "I feel confident telling you this horse will run in the Kentucky Derby," Motion continued…
Extra, Extra, Read All About It
Newsdad, cleverly ridden by Julien Leparoux and in receipt of six pounds from main rival Simmard, won the G2 Pan American Stakes by two lengths over Hailstone, who finished a neck ahead of second favorite Simmard in 2:24.93 for the mile and a half in a field reduced to four after two program scratches.
"It's definitely tougher to ride in these types of races with short fields," said Leparoux. "You can either go and try and clear on the lead or take back. Bill's other horse [Motion, trainer of the winner] seemed to have a little more speed so I took back."
"It was the weight," said Simmard's trainer, Roger Attfield. "Under allowance conditions, we won a Grade 2 and they haven't, so we give them six pounds at a mile and a half. We got beat by a good horse."

We are three web-entrepeneurs from The Netherlands combining forces. Together we are developing b2b web service to help business owners choose the best options for promoting their products or services.
The name for our concept is ohallo. The o is for online, hallo is dutch for hello. The rational behind this name: we help businesses to introduce themselves online.
Our target audience consists of entrepeneurs and marketing employees that are looking for options to promote their companies online. We will inform them about the possibilities available. Let them compare their options. And help them find the most interesting online profiling and advertising opportunities.
This service will be of most interest for small to medium size businesses – think hotels, restaurants, specialty stores, travel companies. They have a website and want to increase traffic by promoting it online. But they lack the marketing skills and web savviness to do it effectively.
A secondary target audience is marketing professionals, as they can use our service to quickly select online advertising and profiling options for their cliënts.
What we need from you is a logo with an icon. A truely... uhm... iconic icon. When displayed is a small format, the logo must be recognizable and good looking. The name ohallo must be part of the logo. Custom typefaces are ok.
We are going to advise people, so honousty and friendliness are important factors for us.
As our plan is webcentric, please make our webadress part of the logo design, so people know the url is ohallo.nl.
It would be a big plus if we can use the icon, or a part of it, as the graphic for a something like a star-rating system (i.e. the stars on imdb.com).

While many people are associated with the Wyoming Territorial Prison and their most famous prisoner, Butch Cassidy, the museum has taken a big step to ensure the history of the prison after it housed criminals is not forgotten. The "Science on the Range" exhibit is now open.
By wandering into the 1910 Horse Barn, visitors can delve into the farming and ranching experiments conducted on the old prison grounds by the University of Wyoming from 1903 to 1989. For 86 years, the Experiment Station not only advanced the farm and stock interests of Wyoming but provided hands-on learning experience for students.
Admission is $5 for adults and $2.50 for students ages 12-17. The Wyoming Territorial Prison is open daily from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. from May to October.

The California pretrial for a former Hilliard music booster is scheduled to continue Feb. 1 after another continuance was issued last week.
The California pretrial for a former Hilliard music booster is scheduled to continue Feb. 1 after another continuance was issued last week.
William F. Blackhall, 50, appeared Dec.7 for a pretrial hearing in Orange County Superior Court to answer charges for his July 25 arrest for possession and control of child pornography.
Blackhall had also received a continuance Oct. 12 at a hearing where his attorney represented him. Blackhall was present at the Oct. 26 and Dec. 7 hearings.
"The purpose of the pretrial is for both sides to exchange information about the case," said Farrah Emami, spokeswoman for the Orange County District Attorney's Office.
Additional pretrial dates could be set, as many as necessary or that the court grants, until a preliminary hearing is scheduled.
Marc McBride is the California attorney representing Blackhall. The case is before Superior Court Judge Karen Robinson.
Prior to his arrest, Blackhall had served as vice president of the Hilliard Music Boosters, representing Hilliard Darby High School. District spokeswoman Amanda Morris said Blackhall's volunteer status was revoked Aug. 2, the same day district officials were informed of his arrest.
Blackhall, a Columbus resident who lives in the Hilliard school district, was arraigned Sept. 10 in the Superior Court of California in Orange County where he entered a plea of not guilty.
While Blackhall was in California on a business trip, a co-worker alerted Orange County authorities that Blackhall had child pornography on a computer he had brought with him, Emami said.
Newport Beach police arrested Blackhall July 25, according to the Orange County Sheriff's Office, for "possession (or) control of materials concerning a child under age 14."
"Law enforcement arrested the defendant on July 25 and during an investigation discovered more than 1,000 pictures, images and videos of young boys engaged in sexual conduct with other young boys," Emami said.
He was released on a $20,000 bond but not formally charged by the Orange County District Attorney's Office until the last week of August, Emami said.
The maximum penalty if Blackhall is convicted of the charges is three years in state prison.

John DonneBiography
Early Career
In 1596, Donne joined the naval expedition that Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex, led against Cádiz, Spain. On his return to England, Donne was appointed private secretary to Sir Thomas Egerton, Keeper of the Great Seal, in 1598. Donne's secret marriage in 1601 to Egerton's niece, Anne More, resulted in his dismissal from this position and in a brief imprisonment. A cousin of his wife offered the couple refuge in Pyrford, Surrey. While there, Donne wrote his longest poem, The Progresse of the Soule (1601), which ironically depicts the transmigration of the soul of Eve's apple.
During the next few years Donne made a meager living as a lawyer, serving chiefly as counsel for Thomas Morton, an anti-Roman Catholic pamphleteer. Donne may have collaborated with Morton in writing pamphlets that appeared under Morton's name from 1604 to 1607. Donne's principal literary accomplishments during this period were Divine Poems (1607) and the prose work Biathanatos (posthumously published 1644). In the latter he argued that suicide is not intrinsically sinful. In 1608 a reconciliation was effected between Donne and his father-in-law, and his wife received a much-needed dowry. His next work, Pseudo-Martyr (1610), is a prose treatise maintaining that English Roman Catholics could, without breach of their religious loyalty, pledge an oath of allegiance to James I, king of England. This work won him the favour of the king. Donne became a priest of the Anglican church in 1615 and was appointed royal chaplain later that year. He attained eminence as a preacher, delivering sermons that are regarded as the most brilliant and eloquent of his time.
Later Work
Donne continued to write poetry, notably his Holy Sonnets (1618), but most of it remained unpublished until 1633. In 1621 James I appointed him dean of Saint Paul's Cathedral; he held that post until his death. His friendship with the essayist and poet Izaak Walton, who later wrote a moving (although somewhat inaccurate) biography of Donne, began in 1624. While convalescing from a severe illness, Donne wrote Devotions upon Emergent Occasions (1623-1624), a prose work in which he treated the themes of death and human relationships; it contains these famous lines: "No man is an Iland, intire of it selfe; … any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankinde; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee." It is almost certain that Donne would have become a bishop in 1630 but for his poor health. During his final years he delivered a number of his most notable sermons, including the so-called funeral sermon, Death's Duell (1631), delivered less than two months before his death in London.

I Couldn't Love You More by Jillian Medoff (5 Spot; 432 pages; $13.99).
Cinderella had a stepmother, so did Snow White. Fairy tales, movies, and books often portray stepmothers as cruel, evil, ugly, and jealous women. In I Couldn't Love You More, Jillian Medoff dispels stereotypes and simultaneously dazzles us through her protagonist, Eliot Gordon.
Eliot is a thirty-eight-year-old daughter, sister, mother, stepmother, and wife. But she is not married to Grant. Confused? So was I in the beginning, but it's only semantics. Eliot refers to Grant as her "husband," although they are not married. They have been together five years and raise three girls: Hailey, their four-year-old daughter, and Charlotte and Gail, fourteen and seven respectfully, Grant's daughters. Grant has never asked Eliot to marry him, but they live like husband and wife. Eliot treats Charlotte and Gail as if they are her own children, especially since Beth, their mother, is flaky and clueless. Eliot loves all her girls, even the ones she did not give birth to.
Medoff tells the story from the first person perspective of Eliot. Her portrayal of Eliot is intimate. Medoff does a superb job of bringing her characters to life on these pages, but none more so than Eliot. She is very real and achingly relatable. Her strengths stand out; her flaws, though, are what really drive this story.
Eliot, by her own admission, is a "good girl." Yes, she is. However, Eliot makes some bad decisions throughout Medoff's story. Some condemn Eliot for her actions, while others sympathize. At its heart, this is a novel about the choices we make and their consequences, both short-term and long-term.
An old boyfriend resurfaces. The sparks fly. The presence of Finn distracts Eliot. Everyone notices, especially Charlotte. Eliot believes a week at the beach with her mother and sisters will help ease tension between her and Grant. While the girls play in the ocean, Eliot's phone rings. It is Finn.
Her back is turned for one minute, maybe two. The unthinkable happens. Eliot is forced to make a choice: who should she save? Her real daughter? Or her stepdaughter? Medoff writes, "And this is what I know: I can swim in only one direction, toward one child…but I must make a choice and I must make it now." Whatever the case, nothing will ever be the same again.
Despite its grim subject matter, Medoff intersperses humor throughout her novel. The hilarity in no way distracts from the story; instead, it adds to it. Sometimes, even in the grip of despair, life can be funny. Medoff makes me laugh and cry, once at the very same time. Never has mowing, pooping, or eating dog food sounded so funny. I applaud Medoff for telling the story in such a way.
Eliot is not the only character who stands out in this book. Her sister, Sylvia (named after Sylvia Plath), is often a scene-stealer. Eliot's mother, Delores, is another of Medoff's characters who demand your attention.
This is a story about love and family. But the novel is also about sisters. It matters little whether they are full, half, or even step. A sister is a sister for life. Medoff makes this only child wistful of the sisterly bond that Eliot and her sisters share.
I Couldn't Love You More is women's lit at its finest. This is a far cry from chick lit. Do not get me wrong: I am not disparaging chick lit in any way. This is a story for women. The issues Medoff writes about are subjects in which women deeply care about. This tale is about women written for women that happens to have been written by a woman.
I predict I Couldn't Love You More will be the read of the summer. Medoff's novel will be as essential to beach bags as sunscreen and beach towels.

The Maternity Services Advisory Group is a new advisory committee of the federal health department, in preparation for implementation of the government's current group of maternity reforms.
These reforms include professional indemnity insurance, Medicare and prescribing rights for midwives, as well as the outlawing of private midwifery practice as we, and the rest of the developed world, know it. That is, women employing a midwife as their primary care provider for their complete maternity care, including birth in the place the woman chooses.
The advisory committee of approximately 25 is topheavy (to put it mildly) with medical stakeholders in maternity care.
The list includes two highly respected midwife academics, Sally Tracy and Pat Brody. Barb Vernon, who is executive officer (with a background in politics, not a midwife) of the Australian College of Midwives (ACM), will also sit on the committee. There are three consumer places, two of which are taken by leading Queensland Maternity Coalition activists, Joanne Smethurst and Bruce Teakle. I see NO name on the list of any person who might have substantial recent midwifery practice on their CV. (please correct me if I am missing something here!)
An outsider looking at the list could conclude that midwives are not all that important in maternity services.
Yet the government's proposed reforms are all about midwifery practice.
The picture I get is a big table with some of the big obstetric names: Ted Weaver, Andrew Foote, Andrew Pesce, David Elwood (you can google them if you want to know more about them). There is one female doctor, Marilyn Clarke from Australian Indigenous Doctors Assn. Other medical names are Steve Sant, Steven Katz, Ross Wilson, Dennis Pashen, and a representative of the Medical Deans of Australia and New Zealand. The Nursing College and union are represented, along with several hospital associations.
I am going to stick my neck out here, and comment on the obvious MALENESS of this committee. Every reader can draw her (or his) own conclusions about what that means. Is this the battleground, at which the boundaries of 'women's business', or what is allowed in the quintessential female acts of bearing and nurturing a child, are decided?
A midwife is a guardian of physiologically normal birth, and an expert who works in harmony with the natural processes in pregnancy, birth, postnatal, and breastfeeding-nurture of the infant.
The focus of 'maternity' has shifted, from the primary care which protects, promotes, and supports wellness, with access to specialist levels of care when appropriate, to the highly medicalised world that treats pregnancy as a condition to be managed, treated, and eventually have the growth extracted. The midwife is the forgotten maternity professional, now on the verge of extinction.

Name That Tune! Win a Prize!
For now it's a fun parlor game to keep me entertained and up on all of the latest hits. "Audrey! Go play me that new Katy Gaga song!" One time she balked at one of my requests and I was all "Fine, I'll play it myself." Yeah, it's a little bit harder than it looks when you have no musical ability whatsoever.
"C'mon just tell me the first note! Doooooooo. What is that???"
(yells from the other room) "Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee."
How does she do that?
Anyway, I took a few movies of her playing snippets of some songs. The first person to correctly identify all three songs wins a shiny prize! Actually it's just Big Daddy's book, Tales From the Lighter Side of Raising a Kid With Autism.
Or in case you already have that one, I'll send you a copy of our forthcoming blog compilation Wit and Wisdom From the Parents of Special Needs Kids, coming out in just a few weeks!
I have absolutely no perspective on how easy or hard this is. Knowing what the songs are, of course they seem so obvious to me. If nobody wins, this will be my first and last giveaway...and My Household's Got Talent will be cancelled after it's first episode :(
22 comments:
I don't keep up with current songs anymore so I have no idea of what these are, but I think it is very cool that Audrey can do this! Now have her play some old disco tunes from the '70s and I may have a shot.ReplyDelete
What? No AC/DC? No Def Leppard? ;) Having perfect pitch is an awesome gift. See how she copies some classical too. You have such a fabulous little gal on your hands.ReplyDelete
Tommy's always been like that. If he walks by a piano he will do something completely random like play the jeopardy theme. A few times we've been able to get him to do a little show around the holidays for us at School (yeah, back when we still ATTENDED school lol) How fantastic! Oh and I have no clue what new current songs are out there..lolReplyDelete
Adele: "Rolling in the deep", and J lo: "On the floor" are the first two right? Oh the 3rd ? I'll figure it out.ReplyDelete
No clue (damn, I'll have to pay for my books) but Audrey is awesome!!!ReplyDelete
I thought the second was Paparazzi, but the first and third elude me.ReplyDelete
I don't have a clue but that's not saying much. I have NO musical talent or ability. I see some major music lessons in you future...ReplyDelete
1. Motley Crue's "Girls, Girls, Girls"ReplyDelete
2. Ozzie's "Crazy Train"
3. Wham's "Wake Me Up Before You Go Go"
You know where to send my prize.
I lose, but then again as pitch perfect as Audrey is I am tone deaf. It made for great music classes in elementary school - can you hum? On tune? quietly?ReplyDelete
@Big Daddy: No.ReplyDelete
Aimee has the first two right. I would have also accepted "Lambada" for #2. Y'all are crusty old farts. Someone's gotta come through with #3...it's another dance hit of the day. And I don't mean the Charleston or the Locomotion geezers. Sheesh.
Is the 3rd one Give Me Everything Tonight by Pitbull?ReplyDelete
That is an awesome skill! Go Audrey!!
@Sarah: Yes! We have a winner! Unlike the rest of my readers, you must be under 70! Shoot me an email (email@example.com) and let me know which book you'd like and where to mail it. Congratulations Sarah!!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousSeptember 2, 2011 at 8:03 PM
Wowza! That is a skill you should be able to leverage into a big payoff down the road. Or enjoy the hell out if the free Sirus/XM subscription in the form of Audrey! Cool talent, kiddo.ReplyDelete
Is the first one Rolling in the Deep??? That's the only one I think I know (not in it for the prize...ew) ; )ReplyDelete
DUH, it is...ha. I know I am late in the game...hehe.ReplyDelete
I had no idea what songs they were.ReplyDelete
BUT I do LOVE the pigtails!!
- AnonymousSeptember 3, 2011 at 10:45 AM
I can't stop laughing at Big Daddy's post. I think he should get a prize anyway.ReplyDelete
My husband has perfect pitch also! He was pretty much able to play anything he wanted on the keyboard long before he even learned to read music!ReplyDelete
Congrats to Audrey!
Audrey is way more up on the cool music than I am! And I'm in the under 40 crowd! ;)ReplyDelete
Can't wait to read the new book!
no clue at all!ReplyDelete
I play but not by ear. My daughter plays by ear, and that's quite a gift. I hope Audrey continues.ReplyDelete
Great that you have compiled a book (or two) about the lighter side of autism. I shared a story today also.
Very impressive! This old geezer is part of your over-70 crowd. Sheesh woman - I guess I better turn on my radio once in a while... Can't keep up with you youngsters...ReplyDelete

ROSELAND, N.J., Dec. 5 (UPI) -- Payroll firm Automatic Data Processing said the U.S. economy added 118,000 non-farm private sector jobs in November, the fourth lowest monthly gain of 2012.
ADP said November's gain fell short of October's 157,000 job gain and did not meet expectations. Economists had predicted 125,000 jobs would be gained in the month.
For the year, ADP President and Chief Executive Officer Carlos Rodriquez pointed out the year-to-date average for new jobs for 2012 is 135,000 per month.
A natural disaster played a big role in the job market in the month, Moody's Analytics Chief Economist Mark Zandi said.
Zandi said Hurricane Sandy wiped out 86,000 jobs. "The manufacturing, retailing, leisure and hospitality and temporary help industries were hit particularly hard by the storm," he said in a statement.
"Abstracting from the storm, the job market turned in a good performance during the month," Zandi said.
Companies with fewer than 50 employees added 19,000 jobs in November while medium-sized firms added 33,000. Those with more than 500 employees, which ADP defines as large businesses, added 66,000 jobs in November.
ADP said the construction sector added 23,000 jobs in the month, matching gains from October. Manufacturing lost 16,000 jobs in November, while trade, transportation and utilities added 22,000.
Financial activities added 13,000 jobs and professional business services added 16,000.


text: Outlook: Beware of Major Price Swings Ahead August 26, 2011 09:54 PM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Bob Utterback Farm Journal Columnist Email The government's inability to effectively manage our debt-to-revenue situation makes it difficult to know what will happen on a day-to-day basis. I'm much more comfortable projecting what to expect for the next two to five years. People are scared and don't know where to go with their money. I see more interest in buying land. Until interest rates take off like they did during Jimmy Carter's administration, land prices will go up, which means cash rents will increase as well. In the near future, food prices will become a major political issue. In 2012, we'll likely see a major attitude shift toward government policy. There is no love in Washington for ethanol subsidies; they will expire. While I do expect crop insurance programs to be spared, most other programs will be trimmed back. Most grain operations will be on their own when it comes to protecting profit margins. Producers are going to have to be even more sensitive to controlling input costs. Fertilizer costs, cash rents, and seed and machinery costs, as I mentioned earlier, are going to go up. When supply is stimulated on a global basis and demand is rationed, a dangerous situation is set up for 2013 and beyond. Livestock producers are entering an interesting time period as well. I'm hearing rumors that cattle and hog producers are making money paying more than $8 for cash corn. Not many producers are going to throw in the towel this fall, even if the higher corn values continue into 2012. This implies that near-term (October and November) cattle and hog prices could be under price pressure. The good news long-term: As breeding herds are contracted, we should see attractive prices for late 2012 and early 2013. The only long-term drag on livestock prices is consumer resistance to pay higher prices. Sales Index Key Excellent selling opportunity: 10 Excellent buying opportunity: 1 More than ever, producers must decide what they want from the market and have a plan for accomplishing those objectives. Make sure there is enough financing to handle the price swings. Finally, work with an adviser who puts your interests above the level of activity he can generate from your operation. Corn Sales index: 3 Those with short positions must have a plan to defend against cash flow exposure. Buy long puts rather than short futures. If the market trades above $7.22 basis the December 2012 corn, we could easily move into a panic phase for corn that would move us into a demand destruction event. This is the absolute worst thing that could happen long-term to corn producers as our lawmakers start working on a farm program next year. Anyone who has unsold 2011 inventory should sit on it until December 2011 to February 2012. Those who are short December corn in cash or futures transactions and are looking to store until next summer should consider rolling hedges forward to capture the limited carry that exists. The risk is high for December corn to go premium to the deferred contracts as we move into early winter. Anticipated 2012 and 2013 production will be difficult to price because the highs will come before the seed is planted. After experiencing two dry weather events, it will be hard for producers to forward sell their 2012 and 2013 crops. Buy deep-out-of-the-money December 2012 calls soon to help ease the pain of selling early. Develop a plan now on how to approach selling multiple-year crops if a price event occurs this winter. Beans Sales index: 5 Soybeans have been trading between $14.10 and $12.85 for some time. A close above or below this range could trigger aggressive stop loss orders to be filled and new market positions. For those who have sold all expected 2011 crop off the combine: If November soybeans close above $14.10, be prepared to implement a short-term call strategy to protect against upside price risk. What would cause this? Rain can have a big impact on final soybean yields. Essentially, a 2-bu. swing in USDA yield could have a tremendous impact. We could be moving toward 41.5-bu. average yield, which, unless demand is quickly rationed, could take carryover below 30 million bushels, indicating the pipeline is empty. Bottom line: Feed buyers should get 100% of expected 2012 meal needs locked up now. End users who buy specialty soybeans are not only going to have the risk of soybean prices taking off due to lower yields, but long-term prices are expected to firm up because of lower planted acres as corn attracts acres. End users need to concentrate on buying soybeans between $13.25 and $12.50. As for sellers, stick with my strategy of selling off the combine, but watch for a technical breakout with some measure of upside price potential in the form of long calls. In regard to selling expected 2012 production, drag your feet to see if we have higher soybean prices this winter. Wheat Sales index: 6 The wheat lows have been confirmed, but I expect winter wheat to remain strong as long as corn and beans experience stronger prices. That's the short-term problem; long-term, I like what I see regarding wheat. In most parts of the country, wheat can hold its own in a wheat/soybean double crop situation. Texas and Kansas producers probably won't be excited about planting corn next year, either, making wheat a safer crop. I believe there is a bias toward lower U.S. acres that could eventually lead to a solid price recovery for the wheat complex. That's why I have suggested to end users that they need to get their inventory needs locked up for at least six months and be prepared to increase if we see a runaway event in corn. Remember, as corn goes up, more wheat will be fed, which only increases demand for wheat products. Those with short hedges should roll them to December 2012 to capture carry. Don't be short the nearby contracts. This is the big advantage of selling futures rather than using cash contracts at the local elevator. Once the spreads contract, back roll the hedges in futures. This cannot be done with forward cash sales. Cattle Sales index: 7 Heavy near-term cattle placements and herd liquidation due to extremely harsh conditions are leading to near-term price weakness. Once we get through this, I see better prices for 2012 and beyond. Do everything possible to keep your herd in check, but have 100% of expected 2012 feed needs protected by mid-September. In fact, if you are in a grain-deficient area, the possibility of the cash basis going premium to futures is quite high. The only effective way to offset this exposure is to have 100% of expected cash inventory bought by this fall. Since many producers may find this difficult due to their ability to store, the only alternative is to buy extra futures units of corn and meal. It is not an exact science, but I would not discourage producers from being 150% long futures of projected feed needs on any correction of December corn below $6.70. Hogs Sales index: 8 Will $8 corn prompt herd liquidation or will hog producers look to feed something else, such as wheat? I believe there will be a little of both, which is called demand destruction. As a result, expect price pressure this fall in the October futures; sell at $90 or higher. Put all hedges in the October rather than deferred contracts. Further out, I see stronger prices for hogs once tighter numbers are confirmed. However, it is important to protect input costs. Get control of corn in cash first or buy the board. Other inputs, such as interest and cash rents, have long-term upside exposure but are not as critical as controlling corn and meal costs. All feed needs be locked up in the next 30 days. Back to news

Believe it or not, folks, the NFL season is much closer than you can possibly imagine. So close, in fact, that, if we're going to fit in every NFL team preview by the start of the season, we have to go this early. So there you have it.
Last year, we asked some of our favorite writers to opine why Their Favorite Team Was Better Than Yours. Ultimately, we found this constrictive, and it also might have killed James Frey. So this time, we've just asked them to just run free, talk about their team, their experience as a fan, their hopes, their dreams, their desires for oral sex. All our teams are now assigned; if you sent us an email and we didn't get back to you, we're sorry, and we accept your scorn. But today: New York Jets.
Your author is David Goodwillie, the author of the acclaimed memoir Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time, for which he was named one of the "Best New Writers of 2006" by members of the Pen American Center.. His words are after the jump.
The fucking Jets. Seriously. Two years ago, they were supposed to challenge the Patriots for AFC supremacy, and they finished 4-12. Last season, rebuilding, they made the playoffs. Shockingly bad, surprisingly good, but never ever great. Not in my lifetime. Not yet.
I was one of the many who picked them to go nowhere last year. Injured quarterback. Retiring running back. New head coach and GM. Sure, most Jets fans were happy to see the backside of the Herm Edwards sideshow, but Eric Mangini seemed ill-suited for the job — a Belichick clone kicked off the muscular mothership for being out of shape. But a funny thing happened when Mangini arrived in New York. The Jets fell neatly into place. One by one, troublemakers like Ty Law and Justin McCareins were either shipped out of town or benched until they behaved. Those who remained began playing to their potential. And leaders emerged. Chad Pennington. Jonathan Vilma. Laveranues Coles. Mangini, it seemed, had inherited all of Belichick's stronger qualities (preparation, intelligence, an even temperment) and none of his weaker ones (the scary intensity, the door-knob personality, the stashed-away girlfriends). When Mangini appeared midseason on "Sesame Street" (a lovely counterpoint to the self-promoting Herm Edwards hour currently running on HBO), I knew the Jets had found their man.
But who are we kidding? The Patriots have won three Super Bowls under Belichick, and this year they look stronger than ever. And the Jets? In truth, no one has a clue. So far this preseason, the offensive has been fraught with controversy. Pennington has looked lackluster, and is clearly being challenged (though no one will admit as much) by the strong-armed Kellen Clemens. In the backfield, a similar competition is brewing between the already injured Thomas Jones, acquired in the off-season from Chicago (btw, how did the Bears win the NFC with Grossman and Jones?), and the flashy young speedster Leon Washington. But, as can only happen with the offbeat Jets, it's the offensive line that has stolen the headlines.
What the hell happened to Pete Kendall? The Jets' most reliable lineman signs a four-year contract last season, then suddenly holds out for an extra million. The last person to try that was Terrell Owens, and a few days ago Kendall met T.O.'s fate. Trading problem players is all well and good, but Kendall's sudden absence means that D'Brickashaw Ferguson and Nick Mangold need to come into their own right now. Like, next week. Otherwise, Pennington will be out for the season by October.
If the Jets make noise this year, it'll be the defense and special teams doing the shouting. They need some big games from the defensive line. They need Vilma and Eric Barton to have career years. They need first-round draft pick Darelle Revis (who remained unsigned for most of camp) to become a dominating cornerback as a rookie. And they need their Aussie punter Ben Graham and newly bulked-up kicker Mike Nugent to have Pro-Bowl seasons.
All of this might happen. And then again it might not. And that's the thing the Jets. They may be good. They may be bad. But over the years I've learned to be patient, so, like Pete Kendall, I'm holding out for something more. Greatness. Which means they'll probably trade me to Washington.

John J. "Jack" Scanlan, 77, formerly of Germantown, an addiction counselor and a former diving champion, died March 2 of complications of pneumonia at Jeanes Hospital in Philadelphia.
Mr. Scanlan had worked as a counselor for 25 years at several rehabilitation centers in the Philadelphia area, including the Salvation Army Adult Rehabilitation Center, the Fairmount Behavioral Health Center and – most recently – Whitemarsh House.
His own history with addiction was the start of a lifelong crusade assisting others with their trials. Many of those he had counseled said Mr. Scanlan had changed their lives.
An athlete and sportsman, he won the Philadelphia diving championship in 1951 and 1952, and was an avid squash player.
Raised in Philadelphia, he attended Norwood Academy and St. Joseph's Preparatory School. He was a graduate of the College of the Holy Cross.
During the late 1950s he served as a cryptographer with the Army Signal Corps.
Mr. Scanlan is survived by daughters Sara Scanlan, Laurie Barkhorn and Amy Brueckner; sons Jack and Daniel; sisters Molly Kelly and Alice Bateman Doyle; a brother Edmund Scanlan; former wives Ann McNamara Scanlan and Linda Teir Scanlan, and four grandchildren. He was preceded in death by brothers Michael, Joseph and David.
A celebration of his life will be held at 12 noon Friday, March, 15, at Our Mother of Consolation Church, 9 E. Chestnut Hill Ave. in Chestnut Hill. Relatives and friends may call at the church from 11 to 11:45 a.m. Friday. Interment will be in Holy Sepulchre Cemetery, Wyncote.
Memorial donations may be made to The Salvation Army, Adult Rehabilitation Center, 4555 Pechin St., Philadelphia, PA 19128. – WF

How Should Law Enforcement Handle Being Filmed? Officer Lyons Provides The Perfect Example
from the let's-hope-this-is-the-beginning-of-a-new-trend dept
Fortunately, there are exceptions. Reason Hit & Run directs our attention to Officer Matthew J. Lyons of the Oceanside, California police department. Lyons runs into a few issues that usually send other officers scrambling for their handguns and threats: an openly-carried weapon and a camera.
However, Lyons handles the situation in a professional, cordial manner, even as the person filming the encounter declines to show him any ID or provide a last name. Even better, he commends him for exercising his rights.
In just under three minutes, Lyons puts together a superb primer on how to handle interacting with the public, one that should be required viewing for law enforcement members everywhere.

Europe's public employment services (PES) are on the front lines in addressing immediate labor market challenges and long-term trends that are reshaping Europe's political economy. Responding to these issues will mean that PES must rethink their role, responding to four structural shifts. As such, future employment service must be more personalized, insight-driven, entrepreneurial and productive. But what do these shifts specifically look like in the PES environment? And what moves are PES already making toward such changes?
This executive briefing and research report seeks to answer these compelling questions. It follows a previous Accenture preview paper that explored key themes and topics on the European employment agenda. This more in-depth exploration reveals key discussion outcomes from the European Centre Roundtable on Employment and Skills, held in Brussels in February 2013. This report includes excerpts from key themes discussed there, combined with research and insights from academia and Accenture's experience working with PES across Europe.

Apart from Brown, Geri Halliwell, Victoria Beckham, Emma Bunton and Melanie Chisholm were part for the band, which performed for the last time at the closing ceremony of 2012 Olympics here.
"We're all really good friends and supportive of what each other does," femalefirst.co.uk quoted Brown as saying.

Gov.-Elect Schwarzenegger has indicated he will appoint A.G. Kawamura as Food and Agriculture secretary.
"A.G. Kawamura is widely respected for his experience as a third-generation grower and shipper. His depth of knowledge of California's agricultural industry will be vital to restoring the California dream," said Schwarzenegger.
Prior to serving as secretary of Food and Agriculture, Kawamura was appointed as chair of the USDA's Foreign Agricultural Service's Agricultural Technical Advisory Committee for Fruits and Vegetables. He is also the past chairman of Western Growers Association, has served as president of the Orange County Farm Bureau and is a past member of the California Strawberry Commission.
The 47-year-old Kawamura is also a founding partner of Orange County Produce, LLC, where he manages the company's 600 acres of growing and harvesting operations within the shrinking urban boundaries of Southern California. His family farming operation consists of several noncontiguous parcels of land in Orange County, San Bernardino and San Diego. He began his agricultural career as a beekeeper, a roadside stand operator and then entered the family business as a produce salesman for Western Marketing Co. in 1978.
Kawamura graduated from UC Berkeley in 1978 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Comparative Literature, English and Spanish. He is also a graduate of the California Agricultural Leadership Program and participated in the Citizen's Network for Foreign Affairs agricultural outreach program to the Ukraine in 1997.
"I'm honored to be appointed by Governor. Schwarzenegger and to be a part of his team. Agriculture in California faces many challenges, but I know Schwarzenegger is someone who will listen to the rancher, growers and shippers of California to help relieve the overtaxation and overregulation that we face as farmers," said Kawamura.
The Department of Food and Agriculture oversees programs to assist and promote California's agriculture industry. The department operates as an advocate for the industry. Approximately 1,800 employees work for the department with a budget of $270 million.
Kawamura's appointment requires Senate confirmation. He is a Republican.

mhil needed a new other design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 157 designs submitted by 36 freelance designers.
http://www.transcapitalist.com is a blog that discusses technology platforms that demonstrate free-market approaches to solving problems. Specifically, we often profile prediction markets, social lending, peer-to-peer e-commerce, and decision-making tools.
Our audience is largely composed of 20-30 somethings interested in technology issues. I would like the site to convey authority and creativity to this audience.
918 px wide header (height is more flexible) with a creative wording of "Transcapitalist" or the word simply put next to a neat icon. Looking for something not too corporate OR too web 2.0, but distinctive and creative. Please do not capitalize the "C", i.e., it's NOT TransCapitalist.
I am open to an entirely new color scheme.
Please design keeping in mind that directly below the header will be a navigation bar (as can be seen on the site currently--http://www.transcapitalist.com). The color of that bar can definitely change.
This is a blog that is optimistic about capitalism.
The tagline should read: Exploring how technology can further open and free markets
Style-wise, I would like a clean, professional, modern look. Nothing too literal or cheesy.
I would like the artwork in vector format at the end.
I'm really looking forward to seeing the creative responses to this contest!

In 2012, Hungry Howie's Pizza & Subs joined the fight against breast cancer for the fourth time, raising $275,000 for the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
The company's Love, Hope & Pizza campaign has raised $750,000 since it started in 2009.
For the campaign, which took place in October, all pizzas were served in bright pink boxes emblazoned with breast cancer–awareness ribbons instead of the classic yellow boxes Hungry Howie's usually features.
Hungry Howie's made a donation to the National Breast Cancer Foundation for every pizza purchased. They also made a donation for every new Facebook fan, for every breast cancer story fans shared on the Hungry Howie's Facebook page, and for every tweet using the hashtag #lovehopepizza throughout October.
"The Love, Hope & Pizza campaign has gotten better and better every year, and we are thrilled to have once again surpassed our fundraising goal," says Jeff Rinke, vice president of marketing. "Hungry Howie's is so proud to donate $275,000 to the National Breast Cancer Foundation this year. We are committed to continuing this campaign in years to come."
Throughout this year's campaign, Hungry Howie's gave away 83,000 Love, Hope & Pizza wristband bracelets to customers who added $1 donation to their order. They also gained 50,000 Facebook fans.
Founded in 1973, Madison Heights, Michigan–based Hungry Howie's Pizza is the originator of the Flavored Crust Pizza and one of the nation's largest pizza franchises. Hungry Howie's has more than 500 locations in 24 states.
