For the past three years she has been assisting in media relations, fundraising and delivering supplies with a small 501(c)3 organization that has been building a school outside of Cap-Haitien in northern Haiti. The school and its community were not physically affected by the recent earthquake, but the woman who heads this operation, Lucia Anglade, is a Haitian-American who lives outside New York City and whose brother and sister live in Port-au-Prince. Besides the harrowing days of waiting to hear from them — she is one of the fortunate ones: they both survived — Lucia spent the time gathering supplies from individual donors and looking for a way to get them to Haiti. Her sister is a nun who runs a nursing home, Asile de St. Vincent de Paul in Leogane, west of Port-au-Prince and actually closer to the quake's epicenter. Her compound houses homeless, sick, orphaned and elderly residents. The compound of buildings was destroyed, and 10 residents and one nun died in the quake and its aftermath. Lucia turned her attention to providing whatever supplies her sister could use — tents, sheets and linens, utensils, medical supplies, clothing, etc.
Asile de St. Vincent de Paul nursing home in Leogane before the earthquake
In the days following the quake, Lucia's Web site was contacted by individuals wanting to contribute to her organization and offering either money, supplies or services. The typical donor to Lucia's organization is attracted by the small, presence-on-the-ground-already-established nature of the operation; donations make their way to the injured with a minimum of bureaucratic hurdles. One of the potential donors was another small organization that had access and clearance for a plane from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., to Cap-Haitien. This organization offered Lucia and her supplies space on its flight with one catch: They had to be in Fort Lauderdale by Wednesday morning. It was now 5 p.m. Monday. At that point my wife started her phone marathon trying to find a sympathetic air carrier for a small band of Haitians and two tons of bandages, medicines, sheets and clothing.

After running through her personal network looking for anyone with connections, my wife found a reservations agent (no connection, just cold calling) at JetBlue who said they thought they could offer unlimited cargo space to passengers carrying relief supplies. The problem was, between gathering the traveling party's personal data, such as passports and other documentation, and sitting on hold with JetBlue personnel, my wife ended up dealing with multiple personnel and having to start the story all over again with each new person. This was further complicated by a) flight prices going up every 15 minutes and it taking 30 minutes to explain/plead the extra weight situation, as well as enter the name and personal data of each passenger, and b) the fact that she could never get a complete guarantee from an agent that they could take the additional cargo. Also, the organization had a limited budget and the rising flight fees forced her to reconfigure the plans as each person was booked. She was transferred from agent to agent, and each successive agent had to be re-informed of the particulars of this trip, AND each new person was less sure that they could guarantee allowing the extra baggage. The flight for 11 was not the problem; it was getting 4,000 pounds when each passenger is only allowed 100.
After booking everyone on two separate flights to maximize the chance that the airline would be able to handle the cargo, she realized that there was no guarantee that the airline would do so. To cover this (and provide a carrot for those helping out), she took the following steps:
The people and supplies made it to Fort Lauderdale without a problem. As you might imagine, there is a lot of story left to tell, with many transportation and communication contortions. Among the highlights:
Why am I telling you this? For starters, in case you missed it, Haiti has been in the news lately. But also, more importantly, because my wife is a telecommuter — I guess the term is now "teleworker" — for a federal agency. She works part time, two days in a Boston office and one day at home.
I am sharing this because one of the reported obstacles to telework becoming more widely implemented is management's worry about how these employees will spend their work hours away from the office. Describing how my wife spent hours on a non-work-related project might not be the smartest way to defend telework (and she has made a point to tell me every time I ask her about the sequence of events that none of this took place during her work hours), but I would like to point out that as someone who has been a teleworker since before the term was coined (although it is probably more accurate to describe my workstyle as "contractor," so I guess I telework for myself), the people I know who work away from their central offices are all highly motivated people who can't afford to waste time. These are people who are aware of, and use, the hour(s) they save each day by not commuting. These are people who, based on my experience, don't take long lunches, if they take a lunch at all.
In an earlier posting, I remember making the point that having physical proximity to your co-workers was a plus: It is easier to make contact, you don't have to wait for them to return a message, etc. Although I still hold this to be true, I don't think it should be used as an argument against the trustworthiness of teleworkers. As one commenter pointed out, if a manager is concerned about an employee's behavior away from the office, then they probably have concerns or negative experiences with their behavior in the office. In other words, they have suspicions based on the personnel, not the location.
One last point, remembered while reading that the D.C. area has been socked by a winter storm while I look out at green patches of lawn in Maine: I imagine there have recently been snow days for many people working in the greater Washington region. Teleworkers don't get snow days. Although it's true that there are probably fewer office-related chores to tend to when the office is officially closed, teleworkers are still expected to work.
So let's look at this again. Teleworkers don't have snow days, they typically don't go out for lunch., and they don't have a commute to have time by themselves. (I know, I know: The commute often isn't an attractive part of the job, but that's for another blog entry.)
So, am I selling teleworking or arguing against it?
By the way, my wife is now looking for another plane, medical personnel and engineers to help rebuild a compound in Leogane, if you have any laying around. She's willing to put in long phone hours.

If I accomplish nothing else as a parent, I want my children to know that the TV show America's Funniest Home Videos isn't. Funny, that is.
Most of you may know this already, and consider this a pointless goal given its obviousness, but I am finding this to be a bigger challenge than I first thought. At a recent social gathering of families, I came upon a group of kids flocked around a television watching AFHV, and laughing uproariously. I have to admit, I'm not an expert on this production, but I've seen enough episodes to help me get the gist of the format. The particular episode my kids were watching seemed to have a theme of people riding vehicles — bikes, wagons, skateboards, etc. — that ended up crashing into things.
My kids were not pleased with me as I commented, "That's not funny," after every clip of someone riding their bike off a roof. (I think I may have been embarrassing them in front of their friends.) I pointed out to my captive audience that the show cut away after every "funny" accident, never showing the participant getting up and walking away from the scene. The children got especially touchy when I started listing the injuries I imagined the people in the videos suffered— "Oooh, that's probably a broken collarbone"; "Ouch, he tore his ACL," etc. — and they asked me to leave when I began chanting "That's not funny, that hurts" after every video.
This isn't too different than the slapstick-oriented comedy I ingested as a kid — the Three Stooges, Keystone Cops and Little Rascals shorts, and any Warner Brothers cartoon. I think my problem is partially in the titling. Calling something "funny" is subjective enough, but calling it "funniest" draws a line. I think the majority of us are instinctively cynical when presented with anything called the "___est."
(If they had labeled those movies from my childhood "The Three Funniest Stooges" I might have had a more cynical outlook. But probably not. Which is why, as an adult, it is my responsibility to ensure that my children know the difference between humor coming from the exposition and universality of the human condition and the humor of a 40-year-old riding a tricycle off of a shed roof into an inflatable wading pool.)
This is similar to the qualms I have with IT certification programs. Certification is awarded to those who complete a course in their particular expertise, whether it be software, maintenance or, in the administration's current proposal, security. This is like calling them "America's Smartest Security People." (Okay, it would be more accurately titled "America's Most Qualified Security People," but you know how TV shows go for hyperbole.)
The comedian Don Novello, better known as Father Guido Sarducci, had a routine he called the Five Minute University in which he proposed a college program comprised of everything you remember from college five years after graduating, which would be about five minutes of material. As he points out, college is just memorization for the tests, much of which is soon forgotten. There was little real-world experience in this program.
I think most folks' concerns with certification are similar. Do I want someone working on my network who learned the particulars in a six-week program or someone who has been working with the technologies for years and has real-world experience?
There is also the "one-size-fits-all" aspect of certification training: Can one course in security be equally applicable through the many different systems and needs of agencies? One worry about certification training is that a central body — in this case Congress — will be deciding the security needs that are better known by the individual agencies. This is the equivalent of picking one style of automotive tires for the entire country to use in winter.
That said, I think certification training serves a purpose and should be encouraged for all federal personnel, not just IT workers. I have found that taking courses in work-related fields has helped me pick up skills and, more importantly, learn the vocabulary needed to speak with the real experts. I might not be a good Web designer (I'd call my show "The Goodest Web Designs"), but through the equivalent of certification courses, I'm able to recognize my needs and converse more effectively with someone who is. Having the entire workforce familiar with the terminology and technology involved would be helpful to all.
But don't take a course and then put up a sign telling me you are an expert. And don't ride a skateboard off a cliff and tell me it's funny.

I take our dog for early morning walks in the woods behind our home, before the world in our neighborhood has woken up. Sometimes we rouse deer that bed in these woods. This past summer there was a doe and yearling bedding in a small field surrounded by brush. I know this not because I ever saw them in their beds but, as the leaves fell last fall, I could watch them run away from us through the bare trees. Usually my dog didn't notice them until they were in motion and had gained some distance from us, at which point she would take off in pursuit, never really coming close.
One day the deer's alarms hadn't worked, and we came across them in their beds. I watched our dog take off after them, running alongside them through the trees. As she neared the doe's haunches, she had a look on her face that said "Now what do I do?" She then pulled up and let the deer run off.
For some reason this image comes to mind when I read accounts of the administration's desires to "insource" -- that is, return work to agencies that had been contracted to the private sector. The administration wants to get agencies back to doing work that only agencies should be doing -- what's known as "inherently governmental." A worry is that during the years in which so much work was contracted out, agencies have lost the skills -- not to mention the personnel -- needed for projects essential to the agencies' missions.
In the eternal debate between the federal workforce and the private sectors, each side is convinced that they can do a better job, given the proper numbers. Sometimes the quest to replenish the workforce becomes larger than figuring out what that workforce will do. The administration is advising agencies to avoid this problem. Kind of like knowing what you're going to do with the deer you're chasing, should you actually catch it.
Fortunately for agencies, it's a new year. It is the time when many of us may want to catch up on some reading, get into shape or take up a new hobby. What if the agencies treated insourcing like New Year's resolutions? Imagine what could be accomplished.
For example, given an additional 100 employees, an agency could do the following:
•Lose 90 pounds (99 people losing one pound with the 100th person gaining nine). •Clean 99 desks. •Help the 100th person "focus on cleaning their desk." •Repaint the meeting room. •Learn 99 new yoga positions. •Help the 100th person get untangled from the new yoga position. •Come up with 100 projects that are "inherently governmental." •Find two people who agree with the "inherently governmental" list. •Give up snacks between meals. •Deal with the 100th person when he is caught at his cubicle with a secret stash of Snickers bars. •Read 100 white papers -- okay, maybe ten. •Run a marathon (one person running, 99 people congratulating them the following Monday). •Come up with some projects to do after everyone stops following the resolutions.

Military Absentee Ballots Delivered One Day Late, Would Have Swung Election For Romney
WASHINGTON, DC Sources confirmed today that hundreds of thousands of military absentee ballots were delivered hours after the deadline for them to be counted, with preliminary counts showing that they would have overturned the vote in several states and brought a victory for Governor Mitt Romney.
Officials say the ballots were delivered late due to problems within the military mail system. Tracking invoices show the ballots sat in a warehouse for a month, then they were accidentally labeled as ammunition and shipped to Afghanistan. At Camp Dwyer, Marine Sergeant John Davis signed for them and was surprised at the contents.
I told Gunny we got a bunch of ballots instead of ammo, Davis told investigators earlier today. He told me to file a report of improper delivery and that the chain of command would take care of it. We didnt hear anything for three weeks. While we were waiting we came under fire so we dumped a bunch of them in the Hescoes. We didnt dig those ones back out.
After military officials realized the initial error, the ballots were then sent back to the U.S. but suffered a series of setbacks.
Twelve boxes of ballots were dropped overboard during delivery to the USS Kearsarge (LHD-3) in the Persian Gulf, then while the ship sailed to Bahrain, postal clerks allegedly pocketed whatever ballots they wanted.
The remaining absentee ballots were loaded onto a C-130, but the flight was delayed until November 1st so the crew could get tax free pay for the month. Once the ballots arrived stateside they were promptly mailed to each states counting facility, reaching their final destination on November 7th.
Its a shame, Rear Admiral John Dawes said when asked for comment. I expected a delay so I ordered that everyone cast their votes eight months ago. Its really unfortunate that our mail system failed us and directly affected the course of history.
Upon hearing the news, angry Republicans have begun a demand for a recount, but most military absentee voters have shrugged off the news, with many wondering whether the care packages their families sent six months ago were ever going to show up.

Lido Theatre
220 Edwards Avenue,
The Pas,
4 people favorited this theater
The 500-seat Lido Theatre was opened in late-1929 with the 'talkie' "The Hollywood Revue" and promoted itself as "Manitoba's Finest Atmospheric Theatre". It retains the original auditorium to this day. One of the oldest Atmospheric style theatres that are still operating in Canada. The Lido Theatre is independently operated and has always been. One of the only known fourth generation movie houses in Canada. Today the Lido Theatre remains a hub of cinema entertainment in The Pas, Manitoba, Canada. A first run movie house that is truly one of a kind. Complete with an orchestra pit and backstage dressing rooms.

The Lido Theatre is listed in the Film Daily Yearbook;1943 edition with a seating capacity given as 500.
This theatre was designed by my Grandfather.
A beautiful little theatre. I have never been there but would love to check it out. Its gorgeous.
Here's a link, with some great pics under the "History" tab:
Grandcameo, please e-mail me at I am interested in learning more about your non-profit & website which lists theaters for sale. Please read the following on the Ridgewood Theatre, which I am hoping to preserve, adaptively reuse, & help reopen: http://cinematreasures.org/news/19023_0_1_0_C/
Nice place.
We are currently investigating the possibility of the Lido Theatre being recognized as the longest running and oldest operating Atmospheric theatre in the world.
We are fairly certain that it is the oldest in Canada, the longest running in North America. Likewise, we are fairly certain that it is the only Atmospheric theatre to survive without public funds of any kind and all along the way being owned by the same family.
Guinness World Records recognizes the Duke of York in Brighton, UK. as the oldest purpose built cinema in the world. The Duke was built in 1910. Using that as a basis, we are attempting to establish whether or not the Lido Theatre is the oldest operating atmospheric and longest running atmospheric. The Duke of York has not always remained, nor is it now, an atmospheric cinema.
Any further information or help from the Cinema Treasures community would be greatly appreciated.

Kent Blumenthal has stepped down as executive director of the National Intramural-Recreational Sports Association (NIRSA).
The news of Blumenthal's departure was posted on the association's website on Jan. 9. Blumenthal, who had been a member of the NIRSA Foundation board since 1997, left "to continue his professional and personal growth and to pursue other interests," according to the NIRSA website.
Deputy Executive Director Pam Watts is now the interim executive director. Watts, who has been with NIRSA since 2000, had served as the association's chief operating officer and chief finance and strategy officer before taking on the role as deputy executive director last June.
NIRSA represents staff and students at more than 700 colleges and universities. The NIRSA Conference and Expo will be March 27-30 in Tampa, FL.

Its grouchy face and slimy, gelatinous body have won the blobfish the honour of becoming the official mascot of the Ugly Animal Preservation Society, as well as the unofficial title of world's ugliest animal.
Public vote
First taking form as a science-themed comedy night, the society launched a campaign urging members of the public to vote for its mascot from a pool of 'aesthetically challenged' threatened species. The main aim of the campaign, which was run in conjunction with the National Science and Engineering Competition, was to draw attention to the threats facing these bizarre and often ignored creatures.
"Our traditional approach to conservation is egotistical," said biologist and TV presenter Simon Watt, president of the Ugly Animal Preservation Society. "We only protect the animals that we relate to because they're cute, like pandas. If extinction threats are as bad as they seem, then focusing just on very charismatic megafauna is completely missing the point."
The campaign featured eleven 'ugly' species, each of which was championed by a comedian and was promoted via a special YouTube video message before the public was asked to vote for their favourite. "I have nothing against pandas," added Watt, "but they have their supporters. These species need help."
Blobfish emerges victorious
After around 88,000 video views and more than 3,000 votes, the campaign came to its conclusion at the British Science Festival in Newcastle with the announcement of the blobfish as the winner. Supported by comedian Paul Foot, this species received a whopping 795 votes and will now become the official mascot of the Ugly Animal Preservation Society.
"Some would describe it as a bit ugly, but I think the sad face of the blobfish belies a kind and very wise little brain in there," said Foot of his chosen species.
A strange, gelatinous creature, the blobfish lives off the coast of south-eastern Australia and Tasmania, where it lives at depths of between 600 and 1,200 metres and is rarely seen. Incredibly, the blobfish is able to thrive at these depths, despite the pressure being several dozen times higher than at the surface. With its body being just slightly denser than water, the blobfish spends its life bobbing around in the ocean, feeding on crabs and lobsters. However, fishing trawlers pose a significant threat to this aesthetically challenged species, as it becomes caught up in their nets.
Daily extinctions
With an estimated 200 species going extinct each day, the Ugly Animal Preservation Society is keen to promote the conservation of less well known or less adored species, and Watt is pleased with the success of the campaign, saying, "We've needed an ugly face for endangered animals for a long time and I've been amazed by the public's reaction."
Watt also hopes that the attention given to these animals has brought a lighter side to conservation, and that it has highlighted the importance of habitat conservation.
Carly Waterman, from the Zoological Society of London's EDGE of Existence programme which aims to highlight and conserve evolutionarily distinct, 'one-of-a-kind' species, praised the efforts of the campaign, saying, "A large proportion of the world's biodiversity is being overlooked, so flying the flag for these species is a really positive thing."
Other contenders
A whole host of fascinating creatures were in line for the title of world's ugliest animal, including the flightless dung beetle, the European eel and the dromedary jumping-slug. In addition to the blobfish, the other four species in the top five following the public vote were the:
- kakapo, the world's only flightless parrot
- axolotl, a salamander that technically never grows up
- proboscis monkey, a primate with an over-sized nose
- Titicaca water frog, an amphibian with excessive amounts of skin.

If you are thinking about purchasing a Nintendo Wii U over the next few months then you could looking around for reasons why you can justify making the purchase given that the PS4 and Xbox 720 are coming very soon.
I tried to forget about the PS4, i swear i did. It keeps haunting my dreams. I went and got a Wii U and while playing i keep hearing voices of Jack Tretten and Phil Harrison. I know crazy right cause phil no longer works for Sony. He works for MS. Oh shit! I Just have it face it, with the new PS4 and 720, it will be hard to ignore them. :'(
IMO this article is poorly written and doesn't encourage me to think about buying Wii U. Especially when Nintendo is non-existent in my country whereas Sony and Microsoft are visible everywhere.
I want to get a Wii U so badly but I'm really excited for the PS4. E3 will show me which one would take my money first.
WiiU is aimed at die-hard Nintendo-only gamers. If you thought the Gamecube was enough and you didn't see the need for a PS2 or Xbox, go ahead and get a WiiU. Otherwise, you're going to be missing out on a lot of next-gen titles. 3rd party support for the thing is already drying up, so unless you're content with a handful of 1st partg games per year, get the WiiU when it is cheaper and let the game library grow.

To win the hearts and minds of the American public, the biofuel industry's best chance will be to continually emphasize the value of a "green economy," suggests a new report from the University of Illinois (http://farmdocdaily.illinois.edu/2012/10/how_green_economy_metrics_have.html). The spotlight on a "green economy" compared to only generic economic development is critical because "greenness" justifies bioenergy subsidies in a climate of budget austerity and political polarity, the report says.
"A backlash against the biofuels industry is mounting from myriad directions . . . including the food versus fuel debate and carbon accounting," write Jody Endres, College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences; and Daniel Szewczyk, The Energy Biosciences Institute, both at the University of Illinois. "The threat of rising food and feed prices from this season's drought will only exacerbate biofuels advocates' uphill battle in the U.S. policy arena against grocers and cattlemen lobbies who object to rising costs of feedstocks, and NGOs concerned about food insecure countries that depend on imports," they add.
The authors say that academia has failed to adequately define what constitutes a "green" economy, including the metrics by which it should be measured. They add, however, that the Department of Energy and the Department of Defense appear "keen to develop social impact metrics that tie to environmental achievements for project funding decisions, thus driving demand by the private sector for standards that define their contributions to a green economy."
Green economy metrics must integrate environmental impacts into calculations of socio-economic benefits within a biorefinery's "shed of influence," the report says. This includes answering the following types of questions:
· How do biorefineries build intellectual capacity within a community by attracting and retaining a green-educated workforce?
· How do cellulosic cropping systems improve water quality, which may reduce water purification costs for municipalities?
· How can improved habitat for animals and birds increase tourism and recreation?
· Do practices that sequester carbon enhance farm income, which in turn is spent within the community?

Shivkumar, Rasool star with all-round efforts
Kerala 314 (Jagadeesh 199*, Yadav 4-95) and 9 for 0 trail Services 335 (Chatterjee 107, Yashpal 89, Warrier 4-86) by 12 runs
Services captain Soumik Chatterjee scored a century to give his team the first-innings lead against Kerala in Delhi. Chatterjee, who opened the innings and batted 313 deliveries for 107, was supported by useful contributions from the rest of Services batsmen, most notably Yashpal Singh, who made 89.
The fight for the first-innings lead had got tense at one stage, when Services were 264 for 5 as Chatterjee fell, but the lower-order batsmen secured a 21-run advantage. Sandeep Warrier took 4 for 86 in his second first-class game for Kerala. The visitors were 9 for 0 at stumps, trailing Services by 12 runs.
Goa 285 for 9 (Shukla 84, Shivkumar 6-41) trail Andhra 393 (Shivkumar 106*, Mumuzdar 88*, Bandekar 5-107, Gadekar 4-97) by 108 runs
A day after scoring his maiden first-class century to lead Andhra to a commanding total, Duvvarapu Shivkumar claimed his first five-wicket haul to take his team to the verge of securing a significant first-innings lead. Shivkumar's 6 for 41 reduced Goa to 285 for 9, still behind Andhra by 108 runs.
The third day in Visakhapatnam began with Goa on 72 for 1, and they lost Sagun Kamat after only one run was scored. Thereafter, Goa had only one substantial stand - 90 between Ravikant Shukla and Reagan Pinto for the fifth wicket. Shukla ended the day unbeaten on 84 but watched Shivkumar cut through his team-mates at the other end. Goa scored only 213 runs in the day.
Assam 165 (Jadhav 69, Rasool 7-41) and 46 for 3 (Dayal 2-12) need another 431 runs to beat Jammu &Kashmir 323 (Rasool 67, Haroon 52, Arup Das 6-87) and 318 for 5 dec (Ian Dev 118, Rasool 120*)
Centuries from Ian Dev Singh and Parvez Rasool built Jammu & Kashmir a huge lead on the third day in Guwahati, and three early wickets in Assam's improbable chase gave the visitors a good chance of an outright victory.
J&K began the third morning on 1 for 0, with a lead of 159. Ian Dev went on to make 118, and Rasool continued his excellent match by hammering an unbeaten 120 off 106 deliveries. He had made 67 in J&K's first innings and also taken 7 for 41 to dismiss Assam for 165. J&K scored 318 for 5 before declaring, setting Assam a target of 476.
Ram Dayal struck two blows with the new ball for J&K before Assam had even scored, and Ian Dev picked up a third wicket. Assam go into the final day with seven wickets in hand to try and prevent an outright defeat.
Tripura 441 (Roy 111, Ali 83, Dhawan 4-114) and 116 for 5 (Abbas Ali 59*, Malik 3-25) lead Himachal Pradesh 260 (Dhawan 54, Murasingh 4-86, Dutta 4-65) by 297 runs
Himachal Pradesh resumed their first innings on 111 for 5 on the second morning and were dismissed for 260, 181 runs behind Tripura. Manisankar Murasingh and Ranadutta finished with four wickets each.
In their second innings, Tripura lost their first four wickets for 13 runs but Abbas Ali steadied the innings with a half-century. By stumps they were ahead by 297 with five wickets in hand. An early declaration on the final day could give Tripura enough time to press for an outright win.

text: Does everyone know that you can NOT move your downloaded Apps from the Google Play store to your external SD card on the SG3, the only thing that can go on your external SD Card is files you download from any source "but the Google Play store", so for those that like to download lots of games and need more that 11 Gigs of space that will be available on the 16 gig SG3 model "the OS and some of the preloaded files take about 5 gigs" you have no option of moving them to the external SD card. For me on the 16GB version of the SG3 there will be 11 Gigs left for Apps and anything else, that is more than enough "for me", as I see that has caused a big uproar all over the web in regards to this issue, I say keep the Apps that you use MOST in your MY Apps Installed folder in the Google Play market, and the ones you hardly use in your ALL folder in the App market. That would be the only solution I would have for this issue till Samsung resolves this problem.

Oregon Coast Must Consider Military Service In Sentencing
SALEM, Ore. (AP) — The Oregon Senate has unanimously passed a bill that would require courts to consider a veteran's military background during criminal sentencing hearings. The bill now moves to the House. It would allow a judge to give a lesser sentence or choose to put the service member in a treatment program rather than prison. Proponents say the measure could help identify veterans who need treatment for combat-related mental illnesses such as post-traumatic stress disorder. They say service members would not get a "free pass," especially for violent crimes.

Ingen Prepares to Deliver Initial $1+ Million Oxyview Order
Indications of Multiple Purchase Orders Exceed $3M
By: Marketwired .
Feb. 6, 2013 08:15 AM
RIVERSIDE, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 02/06/13 -- Ingen Technologies, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: IGNT), an emerging medical device manufacturer with patented proprietary medical technology for the growing $55 Billion US home healthcare industry, is pleased to announce that the first of several purchase orders has been committed by our Quebec-Canada export distributor, MMT Inc, which is in excess of $1 Million. In addition, future orders are expected to exceed $3 Million in product purchases will hopefully transpire over the next few weeks.
The company will receive a written letter of commitment and purchase order later this week from export buyers for Asia, Europe and the Middle-East. This initial order will be for the purchase of Ingen's respiratory products that include the Smart Nasal Cannula and Oxyview oxygen flow meter.
The company will deliver the products immediately from its warehouse and prepare to manufacture more products to maintain inventory supply for the additional purchase orders in the future. Although the company was expecting the initial purchase orders late last month, the delay was a result of the buyer presenting the Ingen products at the Arab Health Show in Dubai, United Arab Emirates on January 28th.

Arby's Urinal Gives Man's Junk a Steam Burn
It looks like an Arby's restaurant is in some hot water this week after a customer in Colorado claimed one of their urinals sprayed scalding steam and burned up his genitals.
Kenneth DeJoie has filed suit against Arby's Restaurant because he claims that he "was utilizing the urinal in the men's restroom when it caused a jet of steam to shoot forth from the urinal and burn Mr. DeJoie's genitals." PUNKD! Got you! No? It was legit? Oh that sucks.
According to the court affidavit, when he reported the incident, an Arby's employee replied saying, "we have that bathroom problem again… this happens when the sink in the kitchen is running." Wow, that's an awesome trick! We want that in our house.
Although there is no record of Dejoie's exact injuries, he is seeking damages for negligence, premises liability, loss of consortium, and for the humiliation of having to tell some teenage kid working behind the counter at an Arby's that he just burned his balls.

What people say about this Clarke CFP 1700 Commercial Floor Polisher 17 Inch Pad Diameter?
Very good heavy duty comercial machineHaving worked with many different types of floor machines over the last 20 years, I can honestly say this is the sturdiest of all the adjustable handle floor machines I have ever used. Usually after a few months of heavy use, constant moving from one job to the next, banging in out of a van, up and down stairs, as well as working with weights on top of the machine, problems start happening. Usually the clamping system bends, gets loose, or even breaks off, wheels come off, as well as the handle shaft itself loosening and needing constant adjusting. This machine has been through hell and back in the last 2 years with chemicals, abrasives, and running it with 50lbs of weight on top usually. All it has needed so far was a new adjusting clamp, that I bent from kicking it with my boots when I loosen or tighten it, instead of bending over to do it by hand. Super,super quiet! Important in many situations working at night in many buildings. You can't do much better than this one.

In the latest sign that Twitter's advertising business is coming of age, it inked its first multi-year upfront ad commitment with ad giant Publicis' Starcom Media Vest.
Twitter wouldn't reveal the financial details of the deal, which was first reported by the Financial Times, other than confirming it was worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
Twitter's head of revenue, Adam Bain, said the agreement, which is for two or three years, is a big deal, both for how it'll bolster the company's bottom line, and for how it strengthens the company's relationship with Madison Avenue.

Many thanks
for your interest in deprexis!
You are calling this website from a country where deprexis is not available yet.
Please find further information about deprexis here:

It would be nice if we could do that, but unfortunately we can't; depression, anxiety and persistent worries can't be overcome that easily. However, there is hope: physicians and psychotherapists can help you get the treatment you need.
One treatment component more and more physicians and psychotherapists use is the online program deprexis.
Several studies have shown that using deprexis can help (e.g. Meyer et al. (2009), Berger et al. (2011), Moritz et al. (2012), Schröder et al. (2014), Meyer et al. (2015)), and the practical benefits are seen in many clinics and practice settings in which deprexis is used on a daily basis.
Becoming a different person may be something many people suffering from depression wish for, understandably, but that's not a realistic goal, of course. What can be done, though, is this: you can learn to understand yourself better and to recognize and challenge unhelpful habits and thinking patterns. It is always possible to adopt a more helpful perspective and try out new ways of approaching problems.
deprexis enters into a virtual dialogue with you in order to help you assess your own situation and find effective ways of coping and feeling better.
More and more physicians and psychotherapists are using deprexis to bring psychotherapeutic methods to their patients. These methods are based, for example, on the principles of cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness/acceptance and positive psychology.
Sometimes we may find it hard to motivate ourselves and work on personal problems. That's perfectly normal. When we feel like that, it's nice to have someone who is there to help, to support and motivate us.
deprexis doesn't leave you out in the cold but tries to support you actively, even at times when you're finding it hard to work with the program.
deprexis sends you regular text messages and e-mails (if you wish) with practical suggestions, motivation tips and ideas that help you get through the day. So even when you cannot bring yourself to use deprexis, the program will come to you.
It can be difficult to recognize your own progress when you're suffering from depression. Change may seem to take forever or things don't seem to get better at all. These feelings can be signs of depression.
That's why deprexis helps you to take a clear and objective look at your own progress. Using simple, scientifically validated questionnaires, you can track and review your mood and your symptoms regularly. Depending on the course of your symptoms over time, you will receive graphic feedback and practical tips that can help you feel better.
These assessments can also help your physician or psychotherapist to optimize your treatment (if that's something you want).
Let deprexis accompany you in your daily life. If you have a smartphone, you can use the online program whenever and wherever you like – at home on your couch, in the subway or while walking in the park.
You can listen to helpful or relaxing audio recordings, rate and document your current mood, or do imagery and relaxation exercises.
deprexis operates on smartphones, tablets and, of course, laptops and desktop computers. You can stop the program at any time and start again right where you left off (even on a different device).
Depression can make the world seem gray, dreary and difficult to deal with. With its many audio recordings, illustrations and simple, intuitive user navigation, deprexis helps you find a more mindful approach to your own feelings.
You don't need any special computer skills and you don't have to perform any demanding tasks. If you have questions, our support team is there to help.
Data security and confidentiality are deprexis's highest priority. You can use deprexis anonymously and register with a pseudonym (name/email address) that conceals your identity. Your data will be treated with absolute confidentiality and it won't be passed on to third parties; only you and your physician or psychotherapist will know that you are using deprexis (provided you give your consent).
To keep your data safe, deprexis uses modern browser technology with the latest encrypting technology and stores your data in a certified German computing center.

MAKEUP CHALLENGE VIDEO (All Natural)10:28 AM
Professionally, I coordinate the Food and Nutrition departments for a large veterans & mental health health care facility. But I also love plant-based whole foodism and grow-your-own-ism and figuring out what it means to be a locavore living in southwestern Ontario. I'm located in gorgeously-forested London with my charming son Oliver Wolfe (born on August 5th, 2011) and precious daughter Dakota Forrest (born on January 27, 2014). I try to walk wherever I can, I cook in cast iron, and I clean my kitchen with vinegar. I grew up the oldest of three wildly creative girls (my youngest sister contributes photos to this site), and the daughter of a computer genius and a nature lover. The most important things in my life are growing my connection to my Creator, consistently making wise decisions, and always making top notch coffee. I play a lot of guitar.

Report a Security Incident
Do you know what to do if your ECU computer is stolen? What if you actually respond to a phishing email? These two scenarios and more are termed a security incident, and it's important to report them to the IT Help Desk.*
The term, security incident, is any computer, network or paper-based activity which could result in misuse, damage, denial of service, compromise of integrity or loss of confidentiality of the ECU network, your computer (which is connected to the ECU network) and data (paper or digital).
Threats, misrepresentations of identity or harassment of or by individuals using these resources can also result from a security incident.
It is every user's responsibility to report all incidents, whether benign and accidental or malicious and deliberate, so that appropriate resolution is undertaken with the least data loss or compromise.
Security incidents you are required to report include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Lost or stolen computer or smart device
- Lost or stolen files containing sensitive information
- Unauthorized access to sensitive information
- Unauthorized access to your computer
- Compromise of your ECU user account passphrase
- Compromise of your personal computer
- Unauthorized use of your user account
- Unauthorized access to your locked office or files
- Unusual activities on your computer or network
- Unauthorized scans of your computer or the network
- Accidental disclosure of personally identifiable or sensitive information in response to a phishing scheme
- Virus, worm or Trojan horse activity on your computer
- Disclosure of sensitive data, including paper disclosure, email release or inadvertent posting of data on a website
- Suspected information technology policy violation
To report any security incident, call the IT Help Desk at 252.328.9866 or 800.340.7081. If you're unsure whether or not an activity is a security incident, call the IT Help Desk who will help make a determination.
*Do not call the IT Help Desk if you receive a threat to yourself or others. Report any threats to individuals to the appropriate law enforcement agency.

Ben Lively creates amazing bike drawings. We're happy to offer signed prints of his Polyvalent Porteur drawing.
This is a digital drawing done with a Wacom pen tablet, a sort of electronic pen. It's printed on heavy paper and signed by the artist.The drawing's size is 18x24 inches. Its shipped in a mailing tube to prevent damage. The cost is $30.
A little about Ben, "I've been drawing since I was old enough to hold a pencil, and cycling nearly as long. Over time I began to combine my two favorite things and I've been drawing bicycles and components ever since. While I often draw everything from landscapes to comics, bicycles are still my favorite subject."

Platformer The Other Brothers, which we first saw earlier in the year, is coming along nicely after a few developmental hiccups.
What I'm liking about how this is shaping up isn't just the fact its visuals are all retro-inspired, but the controls as well. This looks like the same kind of manic, slippery platformer that was the standard in the Commodore 64 days.

The Mets have looked like a different team the past three days because they have pitched well. Actually, they've done better than well.
If they play today, Dillon Gee will be trying to give the Mets their third straight victory.
A strong outing by Gee could earn him another start or possibly keep Chris Young on the disabled list. Gee, 2-2 with a 2.18 ERA in five starts last year, gave up one run in 5.2 innings last Sunday in a win at Atlanta.
Here's today's line-up:

Down on your luck? Forget that rabbit's foot and grab a jar of Insta-Luck instead. Each of these tiny jars contain a hand-picked four-leaf clover that's grown in the USA and preserved through a 5-step method to make sure that it'll last you a lifetime. Finding an authentic four-leaf clover yourself has a 1 in 10,000 chance in happening, so save yourself some time and buy one instead.
Luck isn't guaranteed, but at least you'll have something to hold on to (aside from your faith) when the going gets tough and when the odds are against you.
Apparently a lot of people believe in four-leaf clovers as well, since they're all currently sold out online. Fret not though, because they'll be back in stock on later this month and will be priced at $11.99.

CRESTVIEW � Betsy Cunningham, a second-grade teacher at Riverside Elementary School, aims to make learning memorable.
Editor�s Note: This is the fifth in our north Okaloosa County Teacher of the Year series.
CRESTVIEW � Betsy Cunningham, a second-grade teacher at Riverside Elementary School, aims to make learning memorable.
"I get the students to participate with me rather than just teaching to the class,� said the Milton resident, who teaches science and math.
That means hands-on activities from measuring items to planting vegetation.
Coordinating with third-grade teachers and learning about their lesson plans helps Cunningham target second-graders� early learning.
Riverside teachers named her the school�s 2013 Teacher of the Year.
Students praised their teacher�s efforts.
"She always helps us with our math and our reading," Charity Orloske, 8, said.
"What I enjoy a lot about her is when she reads books to us, because she reads books that are fun," Marshall Greer, 8, said. His favorite book is Kate DiCamillo�s �The Tale of Despereaux.�
Cunningham frequently has education in mind, even during the 30-minute commute to work.
"I listen to a lot of books on tape," she said.

SciDev.Net reports on the 7th World Conference of Science Journalists, taking place this week in Qatar, where participants discussed how the number of clinical trials in developing countries is surging despite legal and ethical frameworks often not being in place.
"By 2008, for example, there were three times as many developing countries participating in clinical trials registered with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) than there were in the entire period between 1948 and 2000, with many 'transitional' countries, such as Brazil, China, India, Mexico and South Africa, taking part. For the pharmaceutical industry, the attractions are the lower costs and the availability of 'treatment-naive' patients, who are much less likely to have been previously exposed to drugs or trials," SciDev.Net writes (Leighton, 6/28). The news service's blog has several other updates from the conference.

Cilantro Lime Shrimp
To me, shrimp and chicken are like blank slates - they adapt to so many flavors and cooking styles. Both make frequent appearances in my house since they're easy to keep in the freezer and they're relatively inexpensive. Needless to say, I'm always on the lookout for new recipes for both - especially ones that will work on the grill. My friend Sarah is in a cooking club with several of her friends and she told me about this recipe for Cilantro Lime Shrimp. She'd made it for her group and said it's one of her new favorites. The original says to cook the shrimp on the stove, but I skewered and grilled them. The sugar in the marinade caramelized a bit and they were delicious: sweet, salty and just a little bit spicy. Jeff's verdict: make them again! Easily an appetizer or a main course, it comes together quickly, which is just perfect with my little one getting more playful every day. (Fortunately she also naps leaving mommy time to blog.)
Note well: the marinade can be made ahead, but don't add the shrimp until about 45 minutes before you cook them. The citrus in the marinade will start to cook the shrimp and will make them rubbery if left too long.
Cilantro Lime Shrimp
¼ cup orange marmalade
½ cup fresh lime juice
3 large garlic cloves, minced and mashed to a paste with 1 tsp salt
½ cup fresh cilantro sprigs, chopped fine
2 Tbs olive oil
1 Tbs soy sauce
½ tsp dried hot red pepper flakes
1 pound large shrimp (about 24), shelled and deveined, leaving tail and first shell segment intact
In a small bowl whisk together marmalade, lime juice, garlic paste, cilantro, oil, soy sauce, red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper to taste and reserve 1/3 cup in a ramekin for dipping sauce. In a large sealable plastic bag combine shrimp with remaining mixture and marinate, chilled, tossing occasionally to coat shrimp, 45 minutes.
Drain shrimp and thread onto skewers. Grill until cooked through, a couple minutes on each side.
Garnish shrimp with cilantro sprigs and serve with reserved dipping sauce.

These look like these ones I made but with pesto. I think they were the best shrimp I ever had :-). Anyhow I just found your blog through Foodbuz and noticed that you are in my area, cool. Maybe will meet at a food store sometime :-)
