An Indifference to Ivory: Cultural Traditions of Japan May No Longer Dictate Elephant Contraband
In Japan, ivory products have often been described as a part of Japanese culture and tradition but what does ivory really mean to Japanese citizens? Is there really such a high demand for ivory? Are Japanese citizens aware that elephants are subject to continued bloodshed as a result of this demand?
Only 7% of all poll participants supported importing ivory while 61% (including 30% who are strongly opposed) were opposed. However, 32% of those polled were undecided on whether they support or oppose. The majority of both males and females were in opposition to importing ivory (Male-63%; Female-56%), and, approximately 70% of each age group polled was opposed except for males 15-19 years old (wherein the opposition rate stayed at 49%). Females aged 50-59 had the highest percentage rate of opposition at 71%.

How does a business that is both government agency and subsidiary of a profit-demanding global corporate culture survive and thrive in the ever-competitive delivery marketplace?
Canada Post is meeting the challenge of its dual identity by transforming how it markets via improved customer relationship management (CRM).
With roots dating back to the 18th century, Crown Corporation's Canada Post is an Ottawa-based, government-owned $5.9 billion (Canadian) postal company that serves the country's 30 million individuals and more than 900,000 businesses and public institutions. The company's business of distributing some 10 billion messages and parcels is carried out by 63,000 full- and part-time employees through 25 major plants and other facilities, delivering to more than 13 addresses as well as through 20,000 retail outlets. In addition, Canada Post's global reach includes forwarding more than 37 million pounds of mail to foreign countries.
Despite its long history and deep market penetration, by the 1990s Canada Post faced increasing competition from aggressive independent carriers that were targeting specific business sectors. Also, the company lacked deep knowledge of its customers, tended to focus on technical processes to improve internal operations rather than address customers' needs, and offered products that were not appropriately priced. The resulting erosion in market share meant Canada Post had to act quickly to become more customer focused and create a more successful future.
To start the journey toward becoming a high-performance government agency, Canada Post teamed with Accenture to transform itself into a customer-focused business supported by superior CRM capabilities. Since 1990, the two companies had partnered in designing and implementing IT, HR, and other systems and process improvements at Canada Post. The company also chose Accenture because of our industry-leading expertise in marketing, and deep skills and experience in deploying CRM capabilities to enhance the bottom line.
In the first phase of Canada Post's transformation to a high-performance customer-centric government agency, the project team jointly developed a vision for the new marketing organization, including best practice market processes and an efficient operating model to support a new customer-focused market orientation. The team also set significant goals for improved process performance, increased customer loyalty, stronger competitive position, greater profitability and increased employee performance.
Using this high-level plan, the team completed detailed design in phase two by setting up the new marketing organization's governance approach, identifying opportunities, and designating tools and infrastructure required for implementation.
The team also considered marketing's major activities and determined how they should interact with internal corporate sales, service and fulfillment. Based on this data, the team aligned the marketing organization around customer segments—rather than products—to provide seamless interaction in retail, face-to-face, Web and third-party channels.
Throughout each phase, Canada Post and Accenture relied on an interactive process that included one-on-one interviews, one- and two-day workshops with marketing's leadership, and surveys of senior marketing managers. Feedback from key internal stakeholders allowed the team to develop an effective marketing vision and mandate as well as an innovative CRM plan and model. It also ensured critical internal buy-in and helped overcome the significant challenge of helping employees accept and adapt to changes resulting from CRM.
In phase three, the team operationalized the high-level plan's model by providing best-of-breed tools and templates designed to guide the marketing organization's process owners. The team also developed cross-functional workshops that were held for business process owners outside of marketing.
The project produced important benefits such as improved working relationships between business units, increased internal communication and a strengthened transformation steering committee through the addition of the company's vice president of sales. Also, cross-functional working sessions increased, and the project team developed nearly 300 processes with corresponding jobs and positions.
This is helping Canada Post reap the rewards of high performance:
For its efforts to become a high-performance organization, Canada Post received the prestigious Gartner Customer Relationship Management Award, which the leading research and advisory firm created to recognize companies demonstrating excellence in CRM. Canada Post competed against more than 190 companies across three continents for the award, which is based on eight criteria: vision, strategy, customer experience, organization, metrics, processes, information and technology.

This is a cry for help. I seriously need to find work. I would not normally post on this web site asking but they had cut backs at work today and I was one of the ones that got cut.
Can anyone help me out or know where I can get a job. I need something real soon. I feel bad asking like this.

The 2011 Ironman World Championships will take place on the big island of Hawai'i for the 33rd year on Saturday. Long heralded as one of the ultimate athletic tests, the instructions handed out to the very first Ironman participants succinctly summed up the challenge:
"Swim 2.4 miles! Bike 112 miles! Run 26.2 miles! Brag for the rest of your life!"
After an open water swim from Kailua Pier, racers face an often scorching out-and-back ride up the Kona coast (including the famous lava fields of the Queen Ka'ahumanu Highway), before finishing with a marathon run that is routed back on the Queen K Highway, through the feared Energy Lab section, and back to town for the finish. Here's the preview from the coverage of last year's race, if you've never checked out the Kona Ironman in action:
We'll be watching the pros riding bikes by our partners at Kestrel, including Andy Potts and the husband and wife duo of Michael Lovato and Amanda Lovato, plus Fuji sponsored rider Matty Reed (seen below training on the Queen K Highway), who is racing the Kona Ironman for the first time. You can check out a gallery of Reed's Fuji D-6 race bike over at Triathlete. All season long the Fuji & Kestrel sponsored athletes have been engaged in a Tri Wars competition for brand bragging rights – Kestrel has the edge before the racing at Kona.
But the pros are only part of the story at the Ironman World Championships, as the vast majority of the field is made up of amateur age group competitors, from age 18 to over 80, there to challenge themselves and compete against an elite group of their peers. Athletes gain entry into the Ironman World Championship through worldwide qualifying events, or by being selected in the Ironman Lottery Program or even by winning a slot through the Ironman's charitable eBay Auction. But no matter how they gained entry to the race, all athletes must finish by midnight in order to officially complete the Ironman, which has led to the tradition of raucous crowds (including some of the pros) cheering on the final Ironman finishers of the day.
If you're planning to give an Ironman a try next year, or maybe just start with a local triathlon, check out our selection of men's and women's triathlon clothing, compression wear for apres-ride recovery, plus our array of aero handlebars, time trial helmets and wheels to make your existing bike more aerodynamic. Or you can always pick up a sleek new Kestrel time trial bike or special order a Fuji D-6 or Aloha for delivery to one of our stores.

AMERICUS - The 30th-ranked Georgia Southwestern baseball team jumped to a 7-1 lead on 7th-ranked Georgia College at Hurricane Stadium on Saturday and went on to win Game 1 of the Peach Belt Conference doubleheader, 7-4, clinching the weekend series. Georgia College scored the final six runs in the nightcap to win the second game of the afternoon, 9-4.
The Hurricanes end the weekend one game back in the PBC West Division standings, as Georgia College sits with a 24-10 overall record, 9-6 in the PBC. Southwestern is 20-14 overall and 8-7 in the PBC.
In Game 1 on Saturday, the Hurricanes took a 2-0 lead in the second as Andrew Archer, Jared Allen and Corey Benson all hit doubles in the inning.
After GC cut the lead in half with a run in the third inning, the Hurricanes scored a run in the fourth behind an RBI triple to center from Paschal Poston and added four more in the sixth, aided by two GC errors.
Cody Maas belted a three-run home run in the seventh, but GSW closer Gray Carden entered in the eighth and shut down the Bobcats, striking out five of seven batters faced.
Archer was a perfect 4-for-4 in the opener with a double for the Hurricanes.
Shawn Ward went 2-for-4 to lead GC at the plate.
Jody Sellars (2-3) earned the win with seven solid innings. He held the Bobcats to four hits, but made things interesting with eight walks. Of the four runs charged to Sellars, only one was earned. He struck out five.
Georgia College starter Eric Pettepher (4-2) suffered his second loss of the spring after 5 1/3 innings of work. Matthew Robinson (1/3 inning) and Walker McKinven (2 1/3 innings) combined to keep GSW scoreless over the final 2 2/3 innings.
In the nightcap, GSW came from behind to tie the game on two occasions and took a 4-3 lead in the sixth inning, but Georgia College scored six unanswered runs to salvage the final game of the series. A five-run eighth for GC was the difference.
Archer knocked an RBI single in the first to give GSW a 1-0 advantage. GC answered with two runs in second and the Hurricanes tied the contest in the bottom of the frame with a leadoff home run by Benson. Michel Coffey added an RBI single in the fifth and the Hurricanes pushed across their final run in the sixth on a fielder's choice.
Travis Echols belted a two-run home run in the eighth to spark the Bobcats five-run inning. Tanner Funk added a two-run single.
GSW starter Zach Whitman (3-3) was roughed up for seven runs - five earned - on 10 hits in 7 1/3 innings of action. He struck out seven and walked a pair. Hunter Thompson tossed the final 1 2/3 innings. His two charged runs were unearned.
Reliever Taylor Hart (1-0) kept GSW scoreless over the final three innings to pick up his first win of the season for the Bobcats. Starter Jason Nicholas threw 4 2/3 innings, allowed seven hits, struck out four, walked two and gave up three runs.
Stephen Gaylor turned in a three-hit performance for the Hurricanes. Allen, Poston and John Duran had two hits apiece for GSW. Poston extended his team-leading hitting streak to nine games.
Funk, Ward, Echols and Josh Young had two hits apiece for Georgia College.
The Hurricanes host Auburn-Montgomery on Tuesday at 5 p.m.

The Seattle Seahawks have added yet another free agent to bolster their defensive line.
Former Miami Dolphins defensive tackle Tony McDaniel has agreed to terms on a one-year deal with the Seahawks a league source told PFT. He joins defensive ends Cliff Avril and Michael Bennett as defensive linemen added to Seattle's roster this offseason.
McDaniel's addition could very well end any chances of Alan Branch returning to Seattle. Branch had spent the last two seasons in Seattle playing next to Brandon Mebane on the interior of the Seahawks defensive line. McDaniel could very well replace Branch in that role for the Seahawks next season.
McDaniel has been largely a rotational player for the Dolphins as he has only started two games over the last four seasons. McDaniel's best season with Miami came in 2010 when he recorded 36 tackles, 2.5 sacks and four passes defensed.

Los Angeles funk producer and songwriter Damon "Dam-Funk" Riddick has become one of R&B's most idiosyncratic groove delivery systems, a master of unironic synth joy supremely devoted to '70s and '80s tones. For "Higher," the king of the keyboard has teamed with vocalist/percussionist Steve Arrington, whose work with '70s funk pioneers Slave and as a solo artist inspired some of Dam's jams. The pair have collaborated in the past, but "Higher" marks their first album-length project.
The record connects fellow travelers on a journey to the center of a sound, one in which fake hand claps bang alongside synthetic bass tones, layers of falsetto wails roll out lines about making dreams come true ("Blow Your Mind"), soaring through space ("Galactic Funtionals") and freaking out ("I Be Trippin'").
Retro? Yes. This stuff sounds straight outta the funk vaults, so your tolerance for "Higher" will depend on whether you think the era that created early Prince, Zapp and the Gap Band is worthy of revisiting. Which is to say, "Higher" as an album is decent enough, but it's hardly essential.

Bangladesh indicts 4 for postings on Islam
DHAKA, Bangladesh (AP) — A court in Bangladesh's capital indicted four bloggers Sunday for their allegedly inflammatory writings about Islam and its Prophet Muhammad.
Metropolitan Sessions Court Judge Zahurul Haque said he had accepted the charges filed by police in two separate cases, the first to be tried under Bangladesh's recently amended Information and Communication Technology Act.
The opening of the trial was set for Nov. 6. If convicted, the bloggers, who pleaded not guilty, could face up to 14 years in jail.
The accused — Moshiur Rahman Biplob, Subrata Odhikary Shuvo, Russel Parvez and Asif Mohiuddin — are currently free on bail after spending up to three months in jail.
New York-based Human Rights Watch earlier condemned the arrests, while the Islamist group Hefazat-e-Islam has vigorously campaigned for the bloggers to be prosecuted.

Energy-Saving Drive Solutions
Almost half of the electric energy produced in the world is used by the industry sector. And, electric drives are responsible for approximately two-thirds of this power consumption.
When evaluating energy use, the entire drive system—comprising an inverter, motor, and gearbox—should always be considered. The total efficiency determines how much electric energy is required for a defined process. While work often focuses on increasing the efficiency of the electric motor, greater energy savings can typically be obtained by optimally adapting the drive to the operating process.
Saving energy is one of the biggest challenges we face today and in the future. Consequently, Lenze is acting responsibly and has implemented effective ways to use drives to save energy.
3 efficiency approaches
There are a number of parameters which determine the energy efficiency of drives. And there are just as many potential starting points with a correspondingly large number of options for increasing energy efficiency. The appropriate measures can be determined by analyzing the mechanical process and its energy requirement.
Three approaches can be used for improving energy efficiency in drives:
1. Electric energy used intelligently
2. Converting energy with high efficiency
3. Using recovered braking energy.
The greatest potential for improving energy efficiency can be found in the intelligent provision of electrical energy (75%). This is followed by the use of drive components with a high level of efficiency (15%). Further potential lies with using braking energy (10%).
Electric energy intelligence
To make effective use of the energy available, the mechanical power output by the electric drive must meet the actual needs of the application. Both the maximum amount of power needed and fluctuations in operations should be taken into account.
An intelligent, needs-oriented provision of energy therefore requires the:
- Drive to be designed in accordance with the maximum amount of mechanical power needed, and
- Mechanical power output to be adapted to the prevailing need, which fluctuates greatly in many applications.
To effectively implement this, it is important to ensure an accurate design, the use of speed-controlled drives, and diagnostics at the inverter.
Accurate design
The optimum efficiency of drive systems often lies in a narrow band around the rated power. However, many drives are oversized to "be on the safe side." As a result, the drive is operated far below its rated power and efficiency is significantly reduced. As oversizing also means higher procurement costs, the first measure worth taking when improving energy efficiency is to accurately orientate the drives to the maximum mechanical energy required by the application.
Speed-controlled drives
The amount of energy needed varies in virtually every mechanical process. This is especially the case in cooling and heating systems where the output power of pumps and fans depends on the prevailing ambient temperature. Large fluctuations in the output power needed also may arise in material handling technology if the throughput isn't constant.
To improve efficiency, the power output by the motor must be adapted to these different needs. An inverter is used to change the motor speed and therefore the output power, the product of speed and torque. Using an inverter greatly improves energy efficiency in virtually all applications. And, savings of up to 60% are common in applications with pumps and fans.
Motion profiles, diagnostics
Dynamic motion sequences can be designed so that energy efficiency is as high as possible. For example, many positioning tasks don't always need the maximum acceleration and braking times. Adjusting to the dynamics actually greatly reduces losses in the motor.
In processes that tend to be static, adjusting the motor's operating point to the actual load can minimize losses. Using a frequency inverter to adjust the motor voltage produces better efficiency, in particular for partial load operations with standard three-phase ac current motors.
In controlled drives, inverters record the status of the drive. This can be used for preventive maintenance, and the designer can reduce over-dimensioning in the design.
Energy conversion
Converting energy can be more economical when higher efficiency standard three-phase ac motors are used. The most commonly used standard three-phase ac motors are available with different efficiency classes. Since 2011, only motors of efficiency class IE2 or higher may be used in Europe. Currently, most widely used motors of class IE1 are not allowed in new installations.
Motors of efficiency class IE3 are significantly larger and more expensive than those of class IE2, with the same power output, and should therefore only be used in applications where they are permanently operated at rated speed and high load. Usually the better solution for achieving higher energy efficiency is the use of an inverter that adapts the output power of the drive to the application.
Synchronous servo motors
As a general rule, controlled drives with asynchronous motors can also be used with synchronous servo motors. As the magnetization of the motor on a permanently excited synchronous motor is not generated via in-fed reactive current, but by permanent magnets, the motor currents are lower. This results in better efficiencies than can be achieved with a corresponding asynchronous motor. And, the amount of energy needed for typical positioning applications drops by 30%.
Lower motor currents, however, also mean that a smaller power loss occurs in the inverter, and if necessary, a smaller inverter can be selected, which in turn increases the total efficiency of the drive. It is therefore well worth checking all applications with controlled drives to see whether a synchronous servo motor with improved energy efficiency would not offer a better solution.
Gearbox efficiency
Gearboxes adjust the high motor speed to the mechanical process. A ratio of around 20 is most commonly used.
This can be achieved at very high levels of efficiency with two-stage helical gearboxes. Worm and bevel gear teeth are used for right-angle gearboxes. While worm gearboxes generally cause high losses, bevel gearboxes can be used with higher degrees of efficiency.
Additional increases in efficiency can be achieved if an inverter or lower power motor can be used thanks to improved efficiency of the gearbox.
Today, inverters have an auxiliary power of approximately 15 W, which is primarily required to supply the control electronics. In addition there are power-dependent losses in the output stages of the inverter, which are determined by the level of motor current. The selected switching frequency and the length of the motor cable also have a significant influence on total losses. Inverters currently reach a very high efficiency of between 94% and 97%.
Braking energy
Most inverters cannot supply braking energy back to the mains as this process incurs additional costs and is not necessary in many cases. If it is worth recovering power to the mains, an extra regenerative module must be connected to the dc bus of one or more inverters. Therefore, it makes economic sense to use a regenerative module if the average regenerative power exceeds 5 kW.
In many applications with noteworthy braking power, other drives are running in motor mode at the same time, such as synchronized drives and unwinders in continuous production lines. In such cases, the inverter's dc buses should be linked (dc-bus connection) to allow energy to be exchanged directly. A dc-bus connection can also be used to make joint use of a central regenerative unit with several drives and thereby save money.
Another way in which braking energy can be used is to store it in a capacitor and then make it available again during the next acceleration or lifting procedure. Compared with a regenerative unit, this option is less expensive, but the storage capacity of the capacitor is limited. Energy storage is currently cost-effective for very fast cycled drives.

The San Diego Superior Court jury began deliberations on Feb. 13 but had Friday off, and Monday was a court holiday. Because there were so many counts, the actual reading of the verdicts took more than 1 1/2 hours.
The jury found Donald Duante Smith, 20, and Antonio Washington, 19, guilty on all 26 charges, which also include digital penetration, sodomy, four counts of false imprisonment, four counts of robbery, two counts of kidnapping for robbery and attempted rape. Willie Louis Watkins, 32, was found guilty of 24 counts.
Deputy District Attorney Patrick Espinoza said Smith, Washington and Watkins face at least 300 years in prison because of the state's one-strike rape law that triples sentences with multiple sexual assault counts. The two kidnap for robbery convictions carry life sentences.
Judge John Einhorn set sentencing for March 17, although defense attorneys indicated they may request a sentencing delay.
The victims lived in a condominium at San Fernando Place when the three attackers entered the home through an unlocked door around 3:15 a.m. on Oct. 15, 2006. The rapists separated two men, also USD students, in the home visiting the women before the sexual assault. All four students were robbed after the sexual assault.
The men attempted to kidnap the women and ordered them outside, but the attackers ran away after seeing a police car drive by, which allowed the women to escape.
During the trial, the jury heard detailed testimony about DNA evidence that the prosecutor said linked all three men to the crimes. Technicians testified they collected the suspects' DNA from swabs from the victims. Some samples contained several suspects' DNA mixed together.
The trial began in mid-January with jury selection, and testimony began Jan. 29. None of the defendants testified. Closing arguments were delivered on Feb. 11.
The men have not been able to post $1 million bail since their arrests, but the judge revoked bail altogether after the verdicts. Watkins remains in the downtown central jail, while Washington and Smith are housed in the George F. Bailey Detention Facility and the Vista Detention Facility respectively.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — Tyson Foods is the S&P 500's biggest loser Monday, following an earnings report that missed expectations. Chipotle saw modest gains after analysts at Raymond James upgraded its outlook.
Tyson TSN, +1.42% shares skidded 9.9% to $38.44 after its earnings fell short of expectations. The company reported its second-quarter profit rose to $213 million, or 60 cents a share, from $95 million, or 26 cents a share, a year earlier. Analysts had expected earnings of 63 cents a share on revenue of $8.79 billion, according to FactSet. Also read: Tyson tells Wall Street it's overly optimistic.
Plug Power PLUG, -4.14% fell 9.8%. About 30% of the fuel-cell suppliers shares have been sold short, according to FactSet. The company is expected to report first-quarter earnings next week.
Chipotle Mexican Grill CMG, +2.49% gained 2.3% following an upgrade to outperform from market perform by Raymond James analysts Bryan Elliott and Brian Vaccaro. The analysts said that the stock's "recent weakness (down 20% from an all time high of $622.90 reached on March 21) creates an attractive entry point."
B/E Aerospace US:BEAV jumped 10.3% to $98.05 a share on news it is considering a possible sale or merger. The aircraft cabin seating maker said it has retained Citigroup as its financial adviser.
AAON Inc. AAON, -0.53% rose 8.8% to $31.50 after reporting a 14.3% rise in first-quarter sales to $76.4 million. Net income rose 37.6% to $9.8 million, from $7.1 million a year ago.

Bank of America BAC, +0.68% fell 1.1% to $15.08 ahead of its shareholder meeting Wednesday. The bank revealed last week that it would be forced to scrap its plans for a dividend increase because of an accounting error that overestimated the bank's regulatory capital by $4 billion. The California State Teachers' Retirement System pension fund said it will vote against some board members.
Target Corp. TGT, -0.92% dropped 3.7% as Chief Executive Gregg W. Steinhafel resigned because of the continuing fallout from a holiday-season data breach that exposed sensitive data from more than 40 million customers. Also read: Target 'sets the bar' for credit-car security.

So you can't afford to eat organic, but worry about pesticides? The Environmental Working Group has some helpful information for you.
The organization, which annually ranks pesticide contamination on 48 popular fruits and vegetables based on an analysis of more than 28,000 samples taken by the USDA and FDA., has put out its latest report ranking which are the cleanest and which are the dirtiest. It's good news if you love cabbage, not so good if you devour apples.
The highlights:
• The most contaminated fruits are apples, strawberries, grapes, peaches and imported nectarines.
• The most contaminated vegetables are celery, spinach, sweet bell peppers, cucumbers, potatoes, cherry tomatoes and hot peppers.
• The average potato had much higher total weight of pesticides than any other food crop.
• A single grape tested positive for 15 pesticides. The same was true for a single sweet bell pepper. Single samples of celery, cherry tomatoes and sweet bell peppers tested positive for 13 different pesticides apiece.
• Every sample of imported nectarines tested positive for pesticides, followed by apples; 99 percent of apple samples tested positive for at least one pesticide residue.
• The organization's Clean Fifteen™ for 2013 – the produce least likely to test positive for pesticide residues – are pineapple, papaya, mango, kiwi, cantaloupe, grapefruit, corn, onion, avocado, frozen sweet peas, cabbage, asparagus, eggplant, sweet potatoes and mushrooms.
The full ranking of fruits and vegetables is here.

Annie, get your gun -- and then fall in, soldier!
By 2016, it'll be "officers and gentlemen and gentlewomen." Defense Secretary Leon Panetta will order the military to open combat roles to women, the last barrier to full engagement. That's nearly a quarter of a million job openings in every branch of service.
Some countries, like Sweden, already allow women to take combat roles; others, like the U.S., let women perform combat support duties only. It's a paperwork distinction in some cases. Combat support duties don't get women assigned to actual combat but can expose them to the same risk of enemy fire.
Remember the American women taken prisoner and killed in the Iraq war? Lori Piestewa, the Hopi soldier in the Army's quartermaster corps, was the first female casualty of that war and her comrades, Jessica Lynch and Shoshana Johnson, its most famous POWs. American society did not fall to pieces because the dead and the captured were females. On the contrary, it lionized the petite, blond Lynch (but not so much Johnson, a woman of color).

Have you been to the Cantor Art Center Museum? It has a great California art collection, I especially love the Frank Stella- it's one of the big 3-d metal wall pieces. The building is very soothing, there is a green leafy sculpture garden filled with those heavy soft and clayish Rodin sculptures. The cafe has great butterscotch custard and there are little cafe tables outside overlooking the sculpture. My partner loves the Andy Goldsworthy wall. And it's free! All the time!
We wandered deliciously through the museum and then waited around until it closed.There was an excellent Stop sign pole across the street from the entrance . I started sewing sitting on the sidewalk, it was balmy and smelled like lawn and grass. My partner played his ukelele. Suddenly I thought "Campus Security Guards! Sew faster!" I sewed, I labeled, I photographed very fast. It was pretty dark. I was just stuffing everything back in my pack when their they were. They looked thoughtfully at me for some time then drove slowly away. I walked nervously back to my get away car and said " Let's go right now!' My partner threw down his ukelele and we sped off. Our hearts pounding.

John and Devon
Although they've made major changes in their household, they have yet to make their relationship a priority.
Taking Back Control
John and Devon have changed their parenting tactics to stop the bullying and disrespect in the household. But things aren't perfect.
Tony and Tammy

"A phenomenal family begins with a phenomenal marriage," says Dr. Phil. "The greatest gift you can give your children is for mom and dad to be a bonded, united, happy couple."

4. Will Ray Rice shine again against the Bengals?
Pro Bowl running back Ray Rice has traditionally owned the Bengals. In nine career games against the Bengals, he's rushed for 749 yards and eight touchdowns on 5 yards per carry. He's also registered 36 receptions for 300 yards against the Bengals, the most he's produced against any individual opponent in his career. Last year, Rice rushed for 295 yards in two games against the Bengals. In the regular-season finale last year, Rice rushed for 191 yards and two touchdowns to help boost Baltimore to a division title. Although the Bengals have a stingy defense, Rice is much quicker than linebackers Rey Maualuga and Vontaze Burfict and should be able to beat them to the punch in the open field, whether it's a run or a pass out of the backfield. Rice should be able to maintain his edge against the Bengals defense Sunday.

If you are using RMAN + Veritas Netbackup can you please share with me where you are scheduling your RMAN script?
Is it scheduled inside a UNIX cron or inside Netbackup itself?
Currently, I run hot backups daily from a cron and then the Netbackup policy is scheduled latter to put the files off to tape. To make the scheduling process more top-down, I vision a Netbackup script running the RMAN script and when the hot backup is completed Netbackup knows exactly when and then starts archiving to tape.

Warner Bros. Gets Netflix To Delay Movies; You Don't Save Your Business By Pissing Off Your Customers
from the this-is-a-mistake dept
So, the compromise is getting Netflix to delay the rentals in exchange for more streaming content.
It's hard to express just how bad an idea this is for Warner Bros., and how far out of touch with their customers they must be to think this makes any sense from a business standpoint. What they are saying is that they are not going to give in to customer demand and offer them what they want, but actually make it more difficult, more annoying and more confusing for them to get what they want -- and (at the same time!) screwing up basic marketing plans as well. Now, when movies are released on DVD and the large group of people who prefers renting to buying goes online to their Netflix account to do so, they won't be able to. Four weeks later, they'll be looking for something else. And, for those who simply want to see it right away, they're now more likely to get it in an unauthorized manner.
Under what set of logic would it ever make sense to give the customer less of what they want in an era when increased competition from other sources is causing them to already wonder if they should buy your product?

Discover Spain through its traditions
Medieval fair in Hita
Tomb of the Teruel Lovers, a beautiful medieval legend
Spain is a land of legends, unusual tales which often mix historical fact and fiction, whose origins date way back. Get to know these stories in an original and enjoyable way, by discovering traditional Spanish culture. Giants, dragons, witches, spirits, battles, saints and magical nights... The list of legends is endless. Here are some of the best-known ones.
Many of these stories are the basis for traditions, fiestas and rituals which are, nowadays, deep-rooted in the lives of Spanish villages, towns and cities. Take note of this suggestion.
San Jorge (Saint George) and the dragon
One of the most popular legends dates from the Middle Ages, and deals with San Jorge (Saint George), patron saint of Aragón and Catalonia, and his battle with a ferocious fire-breathing dragon to set a princess free. The dragon was dealt a fatal injury and in the place where its blood spilled, a red rose bush sprang forth. This is the origin of the tradition in Catalonia whereby, each 23 April, the feast of San Jorge, men give roses to the women they love. It is a beautiful tradition that fills all corners of the region with colour and romance. Millions of roses invade the streets and houses in villages, towns and cities, making this a very special day. You could come to Barcelona, for example, an ideal setting to experience this charming tradition. The feast of San Jorge has much more to offer, however.
One option is in Montblanc, in the province of Tarragona, where there is a Medieval Week held to coincide with the saint's day. Stroll through the streets of the village with their defensive walls, where you will see ancestral standards flying and coats of arms, as well as medieval soldiers and noble knights. Take part in a big fiesta, with no shortage of medieval dinners and markets, a jongleur's competition and, of course, a representation of the fight between the brave saint and the dragon.
The Teruel Lovers
This romantic legend also dates back to the Middle Ages. Tradition has it that in the 13th century, a young woman and man from Teruel, Isabel de Segura and Diego de Marcilla, died of love after a series of misfortunes prevented them from being together forever. Their bodies lie in rest together in a mausoleum next to the church and tower of San Pedro, part of Teruel's Mudejar quarter, designated World Heritage by UNESCO. This city in Aragon looks back to the old medieval story every year. In February, the small streets and squares of the old town recreate the medieval atmosphere and thousands of, people come out onto the street, dressed up in period costume, to take part in this celebration, that brings together culture and fiesta, with no shortage of acrobats, fakirs, story-tellers, executioners, nobles and serfs. The highlight of the celebration, to be found at different points around the city, is the representation of the story of the Lovers.
These are two Spanish legends, but they are not the only ones. Soon we will tell you about some of our most historic traditions.

The people go crazy in Bonao![edit]
They Dance and Drink in the Streets for 1 month CARNAVAL BONAO!!!--The month of February is an especially festive time in the Dominican Republic—it's Carnaval time!—with music and dance celebrations throughout the month. Starting on the last Sunday of January and increasing in frequency and intensity as the 27th approaches, Carnaval is not only a pre-Lenten festival here, it's also a celebration of Dominican independence. The country's most vibrant celebrations can be found in Bonao and La Vega. And at the end of August/early September, we celebrate the Merengue Festival across the island. There are also nationwide celebrations of Corpus Christi and Semana Santa (Easter Week), not to mention that each of the cities and towns has its own patron saint, who is honored with lively fiestas patronales. All of these fiestas incorporate song and dance along with other traditional rituals. And music and dance are as important to Dominicans as eating or breathing. There's always something to celebrate here in the Dominican Republic!
heyyyy your sexyyy and i wannna date you <#3 mwa
Great hiking in Bonao[edit]
Great hiking in Bonao
I just came back from a great hike took 4 hours,to the Taino cave.
The Taino Indians were the original inhabitants of the Dominican Republic. If you like outdoor adventures this is the best. Take a look at the photos. http://www.worldisround.com/articles/27930/
Great Trekking in the Dominican Republic[edit]
Trekking to the Village of the Dam!
The road up to Rio Blanco was full of weird and wonderful distractions, just as well because the grueling two-hour hike made my legs feel like they'd been fed through a rolling machine. Precious little traffic allows me to appreciate the hummingbirds busy at work in the morning shade, and to enjoy the dazzling surroundings.
A conveyor belt of local characters drift past me in all manner of guises and thrift store clothes. A little blonde albino girl cutting guavas with a machete. A pair of wild-eyed identical twins with barely a tooth between them. A skinny gentleman whose dangling pipe and candy striped jacket give him the strange air of an extra from a British seaside movie. It's all very exhilarating until I'm stopped by a woman with short curly hair and a steady neurotic stare. We exchange a few pleasantries then she starts to play with me. "I had a few problems with a boy once… I smashed him up with a stick….. do you think that's bad?" "Well…. I don't really know the reasons why you did it.." "So I could crush him up and drink him like fruit juice" Terrified I bound on trying not to look like I'm running, hoping for some sign of human life around the corner.
For much of the time though it is head down and grit out the steeply zigzagging trail. Around every scenic corner in the road a new waterfall appears giving me refreshment and willpower to plough on. I collapse ungracefully upon finally reaching the center of Blanco, ready to be swept away by the broom of a local housemaid.
In true Dominican style, community life in and around Blanco unfolds out on the street. This gives the strange passing foreigner a rare privilege of seeing and joining in the timeless pastimes of the campo, such as the drying of coffee and cacao out on the doorstep.
The innate friendliness of the locals will soon shine through their initial surprise at seeing a stranger in this little visited area. It is enchanting to see little brown bodies splashing and laughing under roadside waterfalls. Or to receive a wave from beautifully preserved old man rocking away on the porch of his powder blue wooden shack.
The pastel colors of the houses and the vibrant wildflowers perfectly compliment the deep green backdrop. Indeed the landscape appears largely unaffected by the introduction of the dams fifteen years ago. An old timer, Heladio, accompanies me for the final stretch, and explains that before construction began, the road to from here to Bonao was a mere mule trail. A 77 year old farmer, he recalls how the French owned dams have brought more commerce to the region, as well as creating jobs for the local people.
The three dams turn out to be strikingly different in character. Of course it is impressive how such an ambitious project was undertaken in an area of such awkward accessibility. But what surprised me more was the physical beauty of the reservoirs. Standing atop Presa Arroyón and gazing into the emerald waters of the flooded valley, I felt that the view rivaled any of Mother Nature's work in the Dominican Republic. To arrive here, though jaded and delirious after hours of strenuous walking, was just as rewarding as the journey.
I walked back with Heladio and told him how happy and surprised I was to find the dams to be so picturesque. Whether he thought I was crazy or not, his knowing smile put me at peace. In front of us a small boy was trying with difficulty to shepherd a pair of piglets. A scene of delightful rural serenity. "My great grandson", murmured Heladio, beaming at the boy. It could easily have been him, seventy years previously, or a moment from countless generations before that. I hitched a ride with a choking truck back to Bonao, although it might as well have been a time machine taking me back into the twenty first century.
WHY FREEZE your BUTT OFF THIS WINTER.[edit]
WHY FREEZE your BUTT OFF THIS WINTER. Better check this out before the world finds out! Most people think that Dominican Republic is for the rich and famous. Well there wrong I found a hostel in the mountains of Bonao. The town is nice, the rooms are clean, and WHY FREEZE my BUTT OFF THIS WINTER. Hiking, biking, horseback riding, and exploring for caves. The only problem is they don't have many guest yet. I'm planning on going back this winter, I hope this post brings more people to go trekking, and biking with. And what is best I can afford it. Check www.ranchowendy.com
Stuff moved from main page[edit]
Here you go, this seemed a little too much of a narrative, so I'm cutting most of it out. Perhaps someone wants to mine it for useful info: --- Beware of the departure tax, it depends on the duration of your stay, read the doll coupon given to you at the arriving. Taxi from Airport to Santo Domingo (Ciudad Colonial): it is about $25/30 (maximum), but if you have time to discuss the prices, you can get it for $12-13 (maybe less). At the airport, you can change your $ and € in Dominican Pesos. But beware! You can not exchange back local money to $ and €, so do it before.
We were charged $10 for a tourist card on arrival into Punta Cana. The card was immediately confiscated by the immigration officials which I thought was strange. We did not have to pay a departure tax, although we did have to fill out another immigration form.
We were in DR in February 06, and WERE able to change back our Dominican pesos to $.
IF you go to the mountains and Jarabacoa, and venture to Salto de Jimenoa Numero Uno (a stunning 60 meter waterfall), be warned that the "through the forest" route, up from Numero Dos, is treacherous and dangerous. We made it, obviously, but it was a risky way to go, and accomplished only with the penalty of bangs and bruises. Considering the huge unprotected chasms alongside the narrow, slippery trail, it could have been MUCH worse!
Don't know how to add this entry under "sleep," but we traveled to the tiny fishing village of Las Galeras, on the Samana peninsula. Beautiful beaches (take a boat down at the beach to Playa Rincon, ten minutes away: isolated and gorgeous!)with a couple restaurants and several small, fairly inexpensive places to stay. We had a spacious "apartment" at La Isleta, and bought fish to cook from a fisherman. Our digs could work for a family or two couples, though the one double bed is up in a loft, with steep stairs.
By the way, get to Playa Rincon this year, if you can. There are already plans for an enormous resort at this stunning location.
Gua guas are the way to go. BE SURE the driver from Samana isn't actually a taxi and charging you taxi rates.
By the way, Victoria Marine (Kim Bedell is the marine biologist who started the Domincan whale-watching)is by far the fairest, most knowlegable way to see the humpback whales that breed and calve in Samana bay. Some of the others try for some not-so-honest arrangements.
The Dominicans are hospitable and warm, and we had a wonderful third world week, followed by the abrupt change to first world when we joined others at Club Med Punta Cana. (It's a perfect place for families with kids. Their circus was a complete surprize. Five of our gang tried the high trapeze, ages 7 to 44, and one of them is "hooked"!)
car travel[edit]
This might be my lack of experience with developing countries speaking, but found the road conditions in DR quite bad in places. The article mentions this to an extend, but i believe that something should be added about the motorcycle drivers, who are everywhere and consider lights optional (happens with cars to a smaller extend), which makes them extremely difficult to spot after the dusk. Any thoughts? —The preceding comment was added by Scharla (talk • contribs)
I wouldn't say it's very different, but i feel the ubiquitous badly driven motorcycles with no lights are more of an issue, both in cities and outwith, then the crossing pedestrians mentioned. Ive added this text : 'Lack of head/taillights on cars and especially motorcycles is also not unusual and with motorcycles this makes them extremely hard to spot.' --Scharla 02:21, 21 January 2011 (EST)

Springside Chestnut Hill Academy senior Jordan Wang, a Roxborough resident, has qualified three times for the National Prep Wrestling tournament, is the president of the school's Hilltones a cappella group, and on Nov. 30 played viola as part of a 90-piece orchestra before a sold-out crowd at Carnegie Hall.
Last April he received a Young Naturalists Award from the American Museum of Natural History for his project that researched how shells reacted to the movement of waves. He started collecting data the summer before his junior year.
His sister helped him collect shells at the Jersey shore to study. He concluded that the oyster population had decreased because the way water moves lodges many of them underground, thus challenging the success of oyster fishermen in the area as well.
Wang, 17, prefers wrestling to science and the viola. He is captain of the wrestling team. Last year he took third in states in the 113-pound division. He started practicing with the varsity squad in fourth grade, attending practices with his older brother. That is also the same time he started playing viola.
"I like feeling in control and dominant," said Wang about his preference for the grapple. His favorite thing about wrestling is winning. If he gets into the only school he applied to so far, Davidson College in North Carolina, he will wrestle in Division 1, the highest collegiate level of competition.
Wang's musical excursions started on the violin when he elected to choose an introductory violin course as part of a school musical requirement. His mom, Dr. Kim Eberle-Wang, a SCH faculty member, played the viola in high school, and when she suggested he might like the slightly larger and slightly deeper toned instrument (think of the violin as a soprano and the viola as a tenor), he obliged.
(Dr. Eberle-Wang teaches Upper School environmental education classes, including an elective oceanography class. Last spring she was selected to be part of the Philadelphia Zoo's Teacher Advisory Council, a group of teachers who provide expert advice and counsel to the Zoo.)
At Carnegie Hall, the orchestra he performed with accompanied Grammy award-winner Sarah McLachlan, internationally acclaimed singer Loreena McKennitt and multi-platinum selling Irish singer Andrea Corr, among others. The performance benefited The Golden Hat Foundation founded by actress Kate Winslet.
Wang noted the professionalism demonstrated by the career musicians he played alongside, which challenged his preconceived notion that the professionals would take the night lightly. He recalled looking out from the stage and being awed by the gilded wall and the immensity of the hall.
Wang seems to have a firm hold on a work ethic. He devoted 40 hours of practice time to the Carnegie Hall event. This summer he attended three wrestling camps. He also chose to carry out a research project, although he did not have to do it.
"I wasn't content with being at a certain level," he said about his wrestling. It's a sentiment, a state of mind that carries over into other aspects of his life.
If Wang possesses the qualities associated with overachievers, he successfully plays off those qualities with the nonchalant demeanor of a composed quarterback. How did he enjoy being at the Jersey shore, away from the city and away from the classroom, studying shells in the summertime?
"As much as you can enjoy research over your summer break," he said.
And with his astounding achievements, Jordan is like many kids and many more adults. He knows he has many options for the future, but he is still undecided as to whether he will study science or graphic design, or if he might pursue music further in the future. If he pursues music, he prefers to sing.
"I'm not completely sure yet," said Wang. "I have a lot of things to figure out."

text: I don't know if anyone else has had a similar problem, but I've had my Bionic for almost 2 weeks now. I've been happy with the phone and had no problems with it until this morning. I unplugged my phone from the charger and hit the power button, but nothing happened. I pressed it a few more times and still nothing. Took the battery out, put it back in and tried again... still nothing. Tried it while the phone was plugged in.. still nothing and the screen that normally comes on when the phone is powered off and charging didn't even come on. Fortunately, I ordered an extended battery and just received it yesterday. I took the original battery out and put the extended battery in and it is working fine. To say I'm a little concerned at this point would be an understatement though since the other worked for almost 2 weeks with no indication of a problem. Has anybody else had a similar problem and the stock battery is just junk? Either way, I'm not too happy right now.

Sept. 17, 2005
NORTH DARTMOUTH, Mass. - The men's cross country team finished ahead of twenty five other teams Saturday afternoon at the 33rd annual UMass Dartmouth "Buddy Harris Memorial" Cross Country Invitational. Keene State College won the invitational by a two point margin over Tufts University behind a first place finish from senior Ryan Gough.
MIT senior Fivos Constantinou led the way for the Engineers with a seventh place finish among collegiate runners. Freshman Jake Ruzevick wasn't far behind teammate Constantinou and ended up in thirteenth place. The other five participants for the Engineers did not place in the top 60.
The Engineers are back in action next Saturday when they travel to Medford, Massachusetts to race Tufts University in the Jumbo Invitational.

When you move to New York people love to ask you things like, "what's your favorite restaurant?" "what's your favorite borough?!" and I always thought uh, are you serious people? Did ever try to just search for a restaurant in NYC and choose one? Impossible. (and If you dare choose a borough the rest will turn on you.) Until I went to a restaurant that offers you loads and loads of fresh vegetables on a platter. 😮
Enter: Westville.
Thus far my favorite meal in NYC.
Every day the market sides change based on ingredients so you are handed a photocopied handwritten paper or can check the chalk board. Today's list for the East Westville:
Let me tell you something: If I'm not eating pesto mashed potatoes, I'm thinking about them. If I'm not thinking about pesto mashed potatoes, I'm asleep. It's rare for a vegetarian to find an appropriate time for mashed potatoes. They are a typical side for steak and turkey, but salad with a side of mashed potatoes? Not-so-much. Now I love any excuse to get them. My plate from today:
Pesto mashed potatoes (duh), brussel sprouts, kale, and butternut squash. Trust me. It's not easy to choose only four, but you have to. You can say "next time" to the rest and that's how they keep you coming back. BTW, there's a couple locations. I've only been to the East and West thus far. And I love the West – the East has better light for pictures. 😉 This is actually the first time I've been to the East and thus the first time I got a useable picture!
And in other news…
Danny and I rode bikes through all of Central Park on Sunday. 110 blocks via bike? Done and done. Now I wish I had a bike (we rented for an hour – only $7 if you reserve ahead of time and go with the place outside of CP) and lived near CP so it could be my new favorite thing to do, too.
Also, my new hair!
Please don't mind the jersey I'm wearing by rubbing anything in further. Don't even mention the baseball team with "ill" in the name or I'll have to tear up. Again. If you do want to talk about my new Tom's I'll be happy to tell you how comfortable they are, though!
Speaking of fall favorites… There's a favorite J & I share from home I'll be sharing soon! I may have had a few too many the past few days… oops.
PS, forgot to mention Westville is very generous with the wine, also. 😉
