We believe the sum of the parts is as great as the whole. Nowhere does this apply more than with the award-winning ŠKODA OCTAVIA - a car that's as easy to love as it is to justify.
Not only is it compelling to look at from every angle, but once inside, its connectivity and driver-assist features, plus its host of technological treats, ticks every box for the 21st Century driver. And as always, ŠKODA' s Simply Clever features puts the OCTAVIA in a class of its own.
That's Simply Clever. That's ŠKODA.
A car that senses danger ahead? Now that's clever. Front Assist with City Emergency Brake+ uses a radar sensor to monitor the risks in front of you, alert you of any hazards, and will even brake on its own to help avoid a collision.
+Safety technologies are not a substitute for the driver's responsibility of the vehicle.
Our engineers have developed a hands-on approach to help identify driver fatigue. Fatigue Detection+ monitors your movement through the steering wheel. If it senses signs of fatigue, it triggers an audible and visual warning alerting you that you need to stop and rest
+Safety technologies are not a substitute for the driver's responsibility of the vehicle.
The last thing we want to happen to you immediately after an accident - is another accident. Electronic Stability Control (ESC) helps you maintain control of the car if it begins skidding, while Multi-collision Brake activates the braking system to help minimise any further collision.
It's good to know what's around the corner. Add LED headlights with the optional Tech Pack and enjoy AFS (Adaptive Frontlight System). AFS swivels the light beam by up to 15° into turns, anticipating the movement of your car to improve visibility.
Prefill Braking is a safety feature that anticipates your next step — literally. The OCTAVIA can recognise when you may be about to brake sharply and prepares by 'prefilling' the brake hydraulics with fluid. It also brings the brake pads closer to the discs, helping you stop safer, sooner.
Some forward thinking for when you're going backwards. A Rear View Camera+ Rear Parking Sensors, standard across the OCTAVIA range, help you back out of your driveway with peace of mind and tackle those tricky reverse parks with confidence.
+ Safety technologies are not a substitute for the driver's responsibility for the vehicle.
The OCTAVIA is packed with features for a rainy day. Light Assist automatically adapts to changing light conditions, while the rain sensor adjusts the speed of the wipers depending on light or heavy rainfall. Available as part of the Tech Pack.
Here's a feature you might not have seen coming. Side Assist (Blind Spot Detection)**+ helps you change lanes safely by letting you know if there are any vehicles in your blind spot. If so, an LED symbol in the side mirror will light up, and start flashing if you indicate in the direction of the vehicle. It also takes corrective action if there is a car in your blind spot.
**Included in optional Tech Pack.

◊Safety technologies are not a substitute for the driver's responsibility of the vehicle.
We hope you never need the seven airbags that come standard in every OCTAVIA. They're located at the front, front side, curtain, and driver's knee area. There is also a total of nine airbags available with the Luxury Pack.
Overseas model shown.
No cables, no worries. Now with the Qi Wireless charging in the centre console, you'll never get caught with a flat smartphone. Available in the Tech Pack.
Just when you thought cruise control couldn't get any smarter. Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)◊ features a radar sensor on the front grille which monitors the vehicle(s) ahead, allowing it to automatically brake an accelerate to a speed and distance set by you. Did we mention it comes standard?
◊Safety technologies are not a substitute for the driver's responsibility of the vehicle.
You know what else sounds great? In case the 8-speaker sound system isn't enough, you can upgrade it to a premium, German, 10-speaker Canton Sound System. Canton adds a digital equaliser, sound level controls and vehicle noise cancellation. The Canton Sound System is included in the optional Tech Pack.
Enjoy an 8" touch screen Bolero radio with Bluetooth® phone and audio streaming, USB and 8 speakers as standard. Or you can upgrade to the Tech Pack for a 9.2" Columbus infotainment system featuring Bluetooth® audio and streaming with voice control, SmartLink^^ smartphone connectivity, USB, AUX, and 2x SD Card Slots.
^^Smartlink is compatible for selected apps with the latest smartphone versions of i0S and Android.
A car that gets the door for you? Now that's service. KESSYΔ can be added so you can lock and unlock your car, and start and stop the engine without having to insert or even handle the key.
ΔIncluded in optional Tech Pack.
As you get to know your OCTAVIA, it gets to know you, too. Driving Mode SelectionΔ adapts engine torque, accelerator sensitivity, power steering, headlight control (where AFS is fitted), DSG transmission, and air conditioning to your preferences, across four driving modes — Normal, Sport, Eco, and Individual.
ΔIncluded in optional Tech Pack.
Parking has never been easier. With a press of a button, Automatic Parking AssistΔ◊ will begin searching for a parking space in a line of cars or other obstacles. When found, the car will steer itself into the space while you simply control the pedals.
ΔIncluded in optional Tech Pack.
*Safety technologies are not a substitute for the driver's responsibility of the vehicle.
If you're after trip information, the OCTAVIA puts it all on display. Enjoy a colour multifunctional display system that provides additional vehicle information including everything from oil temperature to phone, audio, Driver Assist Systems and navigation data.
When it comes to air conditioning, it's each to their own. Electronically controlled climatronic air conditioning, standard across the OCTAVIA range, has two zones, so you and your front passenger can each set your own temperature. Plus, the automatic air conditioning system has sensors and mechanisms that monitor and adjust temperature, humidity, direction and speed of airflow into the interior. Pretty cool, don't you think?
It's not often you see 'turbocharged' and 'efficient' in the same engine summary. Our lighter, cleaner, more fuel-efficient engines include Volkswagen Group's turbocharged 1.4 litre 110TSI engine; delivering 250Nm of torque and a combined fuel economy of 5.2L/100km# (for 110TSI 7-speed DSG).
#Fuel consumption figures according to ADR 81/02 derived from laboratory testing. Factors including but not limited to driving style, road and traffic conditions, environmental influences, vehicle condition and accessories fitted, will in practice in the real world lead to figures which generally differ from those advertised. Advertised figures are meant for comparison amongst vehicles only.
Standard across both petrol variants is Green Tech~, featuring "Start Stop" and Brake Energy Recuperation. "Start Stop" automatically switches the engine off when stationary and starts it again when you want to drive off, while Brake Energy Recuperation uses kinetic energy to charge the car battery when you apply the brakes.
~There are certain operating conditions where the Green Tech "Start Stop" system is deactivated (e.g. during engine warm-up). Please refer to the owner's manual for full operating information.

We're not one to blow our own trumpet, but we thought you might want to see some of the testimonials for our modern Shakespeare ebooks we've had over the years – from students, teachers and parents alike:
" I wish there would have been something like this for me when I was studying Shakespeare!"
"Your ebook was a godsend because it was distinct, easily accessible and very child friendly. The resource I obtained from you has been used again and again"
"The book is authentic, in that it's very close to Shakespeare's original plot. It also has the WHOLE story there, and doesn't miss parts out. It explores the characters well, for example when it describes Romeo's mood. It's a fair length, and it has a beginning, middle, and end, plus lots of detail all in there. I rate it 5 stars."
" I needed a version of the play that was not a "watered down" text that my students could understand and get the meaning from so that they could relate to the themes of the play without getting lost in the language. This version has been instrumental in my students' understanding and I am so glad I found your website."
"I am a student in a World Lit class in college. I read the Tempest by Shakespeare. Actually I read it a couple of times. I'm not used to that style of language and grammar. Just to be sure I had all the details, I downloaded The Tempest from you. It helped clear a couple things up for me and added some minor details that really helped when it came test time."
"I was never too keen on reading Shakespeare, as it is written in very old English and I found it difficult to understand. This book has changed my mind entirely, and made me want to read the other books and try out proper Shakespeare."
"I was overwhelmingly pleased with the plain English text for Julius Caesar. My 10th grade students found reading the play much more interesting and understandable after they got the gist of the language through the "No Sweat" publication. We began the play with the plain language and gradually shifted to the Shakespearian version, and back and forth, when we found difficult to understand passages. It alleviated the stress 15-year-old students of Shakespeare encounter when faced with the task of Julius Caesar. Your version was exactly what I was looking for to help them out."
"After failing miserably to understand Shakespeare myself I was aghast to be asked for help by my daughter for her exams. The service you offer is absolutely fantastic and allowed her to be able to understand the play in modern day language, which made reading and following the original much easier. It is with no undertatement the reason she did so well in her English exams. Probably the best money I have ever spent on her education and I have already recommended it to friends!"
"I have used No Sweat Shakespeare 's versions of both Hamlet and Macbeth with my 11th and 12th grade students. I can honestly say that your texts allowed my students to fully engage in Shakespeare's text and, most importantly, to enjoy them. They found the story format much easier to read than the original script format."
"All the students said they found having your copy to read after looking at the original text greatly increased their understanding and enjoyment of the plays. Many said they hated studying Shakespeare in previous years because it was like reading another language; they just didn't 'get it'. However, being able to have the two versions side by side was like having a Shakespeare Rosetta Stone. They were even able to get the jokes!"
"My students patted themselves on the pack for having a deeper understanding of the material than their friends in other classes. Clearly, using your texts was a "win-win" situation for both teacher and students! Thank you for making a master story teller accessible to all students."

Everyone involved in the 2009-2010 crusade for health care reform will want to read this new book by Richard Kirsch, who was on the front lines of the fight as the director of Health Care for America Now (HCAN). Click here to purchase a copy of the book, and check this page regularly this week for additional book excerpts.
How many lives does health care reform have? The law has survived a slew of near-death moments, but 2012 brings new lethal traps for the first-ever law that makes health coverage a right for almost all Americans.
First up is the U.S. Supreme Court, which will hold three days of hearings on various aspects of the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act at the end of March. Sometime before July 4 we will learn whether the law — in whole or in part — survives that challenge.
The next potentially lethal threat to the health care law will be the presidential and congressional elections. If a Republican wins the presidency, he'll be obligated to try to kill the health care law. Even if President Obama wins reelection, an unfavorable Supreme Court decision may force new legislative action, throwing major parts of the law into doubt.
None of this should be surprising. Despite the odds, the legislation that became the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act survived a grueling gauntlet of stolid Republican opposition, maddened tea partiers and right-wing Democrats, and tens of millions of health insurance dollars funneled through the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. It's already been through at least nine lives.
My new book, Fighting for Our Health: The Epic Battle to Make Health Care a Right in the United States, recounts one way that the law beat the odds: for the first time in the long-failed history of attempts to make health care a public right, there was a well-organized and funded grassroots campaign behind the effort. And at crucial times when the law was hearing its death knells, our grassroots campaign helped it rise to its feet. My book begins with the most unlikely of those mortal moments: the election of a Republican to Ted Kennedy's seat in the Senate.
♦ ♦ ♦
There's nothing like getting your hopes crushed to pieces. I rushed into Ethan's office to get on the phone with Saul Shorr, a brilliant bulldog of an ad man who had created our TV ads for the past five months. This was a conversation that I'd been looking forward to for more than a year. We were going to discuss the final ad campaign to help push the health care bill through Congress. The bill had survived the nasty Tea Party attacks in August, tens of millions of dollars in negative ads aimed at vulnerable Democrats up for reelection, and multiple Republican filibusters in the Senate. The press had written the health care bill's obituary over and over again. Now the president and congressional leadership were only a few days from completing negotiations on a final agreement.
Shorr put a halt to the discussion before we had even begun.
"I hate to throw water on this whole thing, but I wouldn't count on having a deal after Tuesday."
"What are you talking about?" I asked.
"Massachusetts," Shorr said. "It looks terrible. I don't think Coakley can win."
I hadn't been thinking at all about the Massachusetts special election for U.S. Senate, set for January 19, 2010. We'd heard that the Democratic candidate, Attorney General Martha Coakley, had made some blunders, but this was Massachusetts, the state that had mourned Edward Kennedy's passing just a few short months before…
I didn't want to believe Saul. I'm an optimist. You have to be in my business. But I knew in my gut that Saul was right. I was sick to my stomach for several hours. Could health care reform really all slip away? Ever since we had beaten back the Tea Party in August I'd been confident of the outcome. But Election Day is what most matters to elected officials. A defeat at the ballot box is the most powerful rebuke, capable of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory…
Almost three years ago to the day of Scott Brown's election, in January 2007, I'd had the first conversation with colleagues about creating a campaign to pass comprehensive health reform, anticipating the election of a Democrat as president in 2008. For the past fifteen months Health Care for America Now — HCAN for short — had been organizing Americans around the country, so that we would be ready for these kinds of moments. We knew that finally making health care a right in the United States would be a monumental struggle. It was our job to carry members of Congress through the darkest storm. I still believed we would win the prize that had eluded presidents and progressive activists for almost a century.

Rat outta Hell: Family finds enormous 'Ratzilla' in their kitchen
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
A family in a suburb of Stockholm was briefly terrorized by an enormous rat -- not including the tail -- that had family members jumping on chairs and left the cat "terrorized for a week."
The behemoth, dubbed a "rat from hell" by Swedish website The Local, crawled into the family's kitchen through a hole up from the cellar. Signe Bengtsson was the first family member to spot the beast.
"I couldn't help but do the old classic and jump on the kitchen table and scream," she told The Local.
Reached by phone Thursday at their house in Solna, a few kilometers north of Stockholm, Erik Korsas told FoxNews.com he at first didn't believe his wife's description of the scurrying critter.
"Next time I will believe my wife when she hears something behind the dishwasher," he said.
Korsas said his smallest boy had labeled it a "Putin rat," but not because of any resemblance to the Russian leader.
"He said it because it had invaded our home -- and therefore it was a Putin Rat."
An exterminator eventually killed the rat, which measured 15 inches from nose to claws -- not including the tail. Ordinary rat traps wouldn't do for Ratzilla: For this task, the exterminator brought in special giant rat traps.
"When they build mouse traps or rat traps, you think that the mouse or rat should be killed by the spring when it is activated. This was so big over the neck the trap didn't kill it," Korsas said.
He had heard tales of rats that grow to the size of dogs in New York City subways, an urban myth apparently known around the globe. Korsas said the exterminator told him about similar beasts in Sweden's big cities, which live the good life and gain weight, just like people do.
"In Scandinavia, everything is bigger," he joked.
While the hole the rat scampered up through has been patched, there's still a chance the family may see more of the creatures.
"The exterminator said the rat came from our basement. It had gone from a cellar ... He said if there's one, there are more. Now they've fixed the hole that the rat made. But we will see."

I really wasn't expecting for the new Stewie to make it to the top 50, but it did. Here is a lesson on another Family Guy character that is definitely one of my favorites out of the bunch. Today, I figured it would only be right to do a lesson on Stewie's father Peter. So here is "how to draw Peter Griffin easy", step by step. Peter is such a fun loving guy that can be extremely ignorant, or smart when the time is right. He's definitely not mentally challenged although some may think otherwise. The easiest way to draw Peter is to sketch out the outline of his huge head and face. Once you get that all sketched out, you can start adding his handsome features. The Family Guy is a series that will always be popular no matter how old it gets. The cast and characters are all likeable and have their own individual personalities. I even like Lois and Meg for creeps sake. Drawing peter Griffin easy will put a smile on your face just because of the expression that's on his. So go ahead and get busy and I will start preparing the last tutorial for the day. Adios mi amigos!

The CCDC winners have been announced. Here they are in order: beginner, intermediate and professional.
|Dmitry Puzanov
Dmitry was the winner in the beginner category and his work certainly deserved to win on that level as it was head and shoulders above the other beginner entries in terms of concept, execution and design. It was inspired by the game of Diablo and is a totally original concept. Click on the image below to go to his page.
|Elena Prokhorova
|Maria Ustynovska
___________________The winner of the photography segment this time was Anj Calvo. I like the image.
|Photography Winner - Anj Calvo
As I said previously, the contestants were not properly placed in categories this year. I wonder if they themselves categorize their levels or if they are pre-judged by submitting images of work they've created. It's great that the contest is open to everyone but those competing at levels above beginner should be pre-screened. Perhaps there should only be two categories - new and experienced - or some variation of that.16. In the two extra pictures, designers are able to show their photographic skills. The use of props and appropriate backgrounds are encouraged in these two photos.17. For all photos, photo manipulation is only to be used to resize, refocus, or adjust the brightness/dimness of your original photo. Do not crop in backgrounds nor paint in corrections. Also, do not form a collage of several pictures. It is acceptable to merge together pics of different looks of the same outfit. For example if a designer has designed an outfit with three different looks, it is acceptable for the designer to take pics of all the looks and merge them together into one photo (see example). Each picture needs to stand on its own, and give the judges an honest presentation of your outfit. Overly photoshopped pictures will not be accepted.
It would also be useful if the judges remarks were more specific and 'educational.' It hurt me to read over and over that "There is the wonderful thing on the internet called GOOGLE!" That was a snotty and mean way to tell a contestant to do research. I'm not saying that only positive evaluations should be offered. Honest and fair evaluations with suggestions for improvement would be helpful and more valuable.

Do not enough cash to buy some real estate? Worry no more, because that's real to take the credit loans to resolve such kind of problems. Thus take a commercial loan to buy all you want.

Edmonton Fire Rescue had a nerve-wracking task ahead of them this Tuesday, when they pulled a dog from the freezing waters of the North Saskatchewan River.
A woman was walking her dog Bella in Sir Wilfrid Laurier Park in Edmonton near the North Saskatchewan when Bella ran onto a frozen section of the river, Global News reports.
Bella fell into the icy river and emergency services were called. The dog swam and tried to stay afloat as rescue teams made their way into the water.
Bella was pulled into a raft by rescue officials, wrapped in a blanket and reunited with her owner, Ninmsn reported.
"It's part of the job," Cpt. Terry Letcher, with Edmonton Fire Rescue told Global News, "but you also feel good when something like this turns out this way. We see a lot of bad stuff on our job so when we get a happy event like this, it's quite good."

The third day of a three-day weekend can feel a little funny sometimes. It feels like a Sunday, moving at a relaxing, mellow pace, but the newspaper isn't fat, and strange things are on TV, like Regis and Kelly and Brady Bunch reruns. Worse—everything is closed!
Except LACMA. Not only are we open, we're free all day today. Come to the museum and check out Luis Meléndez or Joseph Beuys, or bring your kids and get a little brush-painting in while you check out our Korean galleries. We also have a few regularly scheduled tours of the permanent collection. Come on, you've seen all those Brady Bunch episodes anyway.

After a rigged December 2010 presidential vote, authoritarian leader Aleksandr Lukashenko unleashed two waves of repression against critics and political opponents, one in early year and one in summer. The KGB and police raided independent newsrooms and journalists' homes, confiscated reporting equipment, and jailed independent reporters. Politicized courts handed suspended prison terms to prominent journalists Irina Khalip and Andrzej Poczobut. Police used brutal force against reporters who covered nationwide anti-government protests. Critical news websites experienced multiple denial-of-service attacks and official blocking. The suspicious 2010 death of Aleh Byabenin, founder of the pro-opposition news website Charter 97, remained unexamined. With a domestic economy suffering, Lukashenko promised to free jailed critics if the European Union lifted travel and trade sanctions. During a year of relentless attacks on journalists, the Lukashenko administration reinforced its reputation as Europe's most repressive regime for the press.
In April, the general prosecutor's office ordered Internet service providers to block the pro-opposition news websites Charter 97 and Belarussky Partizan, according to local press reports. The government's censorship of online media secured Belarus a spot in CPJ's May report on the world's worst online oppressors.
Authorities arrested the editor hours after the election and indicted her on fabricated charges of organizing mass disorder. Thousands of Belarusians had protested the presidential vote, prompting Lukashenko to order the arrest of critical journalists, activists, and opposition candidates. Facing international outcry, the KGB released Radina in January. She later left the country.
A lopsided presidential vote:
79.65: Percentage of vote cast for Lukashenko, according to the official totals.
2.43: Percentage cast for Andrei Sannikov, the main opposition candidate. He was arrested after the vote and sentenced to five years in prison in May, the BBC reported.
1.78: Percentage cast for opposition candidate Vladimir Neklyayev. Police beat and arrested Neklyayev after the vote. In May, he was sentenced to a suspended two-year prison term, Al-Jazeera reported.
Balance: Split among other candidates, or cast for no candidate at all.
After her release from detention, authorities placed Khalip under strict house arrest, with two KGB agents stationed at her apartment around the clock. Khalip, a correspondent for the Moscow newspaper Novaya Gazeta and wife of opposition candidate Sannikov, was eventually convicted of "organizing and preparing activities severely disruptive of public order" for her coverage of the post-election unrest.
Police targeted reporters and activists as they clamped down on anti-Lukashenko protests held weekly from late May to late July, according to the Belarusian Association of Journalists, or BAJ.
Authorities raided newsrooms and seized equipment in an effort to silence critical coverage.
Andrei Bastunets, a lawyer for the Belarusian Association of Journalists, told CPJ the crackdown was the harshest attack on press freedom he had witnessed in his 14-year tenure.
Three major raids:
12: Computers confiscated by KGB agents in a raid on Minsk offices shared by the independent weekly Nasha Niva and the Belarusian PEN Center.
43: Pieces of reporting equipment, including computers, audio recorders, cameras, and camcorders confiscated by the KGB during a raid on the Minsk-based broadcaster European Radio for Belarus, according to the German public broadcaster Deutsche Welle.
12: Computers seized by Minsk regional police in a raid on the independent weekly Borisovskiye Novosti.

Frustrated Gerard Lyttle insists the time for excuses is over from Cliftonville.
The Reds have laboured to just one win from their first four games in the Danske Bank Premiership this season.
An opening day draw against newly-promoted Ards was followed by a spirited win against Glentoran.
It was a brief respite, however, with defeats against Glenavon and Dungannon Swifts giving Lyttle an early-season headache.
"It has been very frustrating," he said.
"The draw against Ards was disappointing but I got a response against Glentoran.
"I think we were unlucky against Glenavon, and some big decisions went against us.
"The Dungannon performance was flat and too many players just didn't turn up.
"We can't have that in games. Teams raise their game against us and we have to fight tooth and nail if we want to get points on the board.
"We have a lot of quality, but you have to earn the right to showcase that quality in games, and we haven't done that.
"I am tired of listening to excuses, and we have to push on now and get a response on Saturday against Ballinamallard."
Lyttle will have new signing Ruairi Harkin available for Saturday's trip to Ferney Park.
Harkin – a summer arrival from Coleraine – has been recovering from a knee strain.
"That is a big boost for us," Lyttle added.
"We also have Chris Ramsey and Jason McGuinness available."

This was my first Christmas without Calvin and Coco since I got them six years ago, and I missed them terribly (although they had fun staying with my in-laws' dogs while we were gone).
Since they'd never be patient enough for me to dress them in santa hats in real life, I couldn't resist tinkering with their photos a little bit. Just to get into the holiday spirit, of course.
Many thanks to Proactiv for making a donation to my favorite charity for the holidays (watch the video to see what charity I picked)!

I put my 2 in as follows...
1. pull queen cage and place candy side up between 2 frames
2. mist bees with water, remove syrup can, and shake bees in
3. close the hive
4. place shipping cage on ground in front of hive
5. walk away
I was nervous I reckon when I did it so I forgot to remove any of the frames like suggested here and in the books I've read. It took about as long to wait for them to go down into the frames as I guess it would for you to carefully put those removed frames back in. If I ever buy packages again I'll probably do it the same way.

Context of Operations
This is most of an email I sent to a colleague who was about to teach a class on Operations. This was my introduction to him of me and what I do.
"I have spent the past 23 years designing processes (12 years), designing departments (7 years) and designing businesses (4 years). If you don't mind I will recount how that progression occurred. Initially I worked on determining the root cause of process performance problems (nice alliteration) and designing solutions. The effort was typically directed to one department. As the projects grew so did the breadth of the processes. It did not take long until I was working on processes that spanned departments which definitely increased the complexity. I did have great success and eventually was asked to step into the CIO role at La-Z-Boy (LZB). In that role I redesigned the IT department for the LZB division (3 years) and then created an entirely new IT department to service the all 14 divisions at LZB (4 years) plus the corporate office. Though my title was CIO my actual role was IT Department designer, leader and manager.
As a Vice President I did have control over those areas reporting directly to me and so I could design them to work the way I wished them to. IT, HR and Finance are all support functions and because each area is asked to participate in all projects you can see how important it is for them to work closely together. If you know anything about IT you will be aware of the challenge made to every CIO – Align IT with the business. Problem is businesses are not aligned with themselves and therefore there isn't just one thing IT can align to. (I contend that there really is not something called "the business" but instead a collection of departments that share a common business name.)
Businesses need a way to have all of the parts working together. It does not benefit a company to let each department go off and try to optimize itself thinking it will have an optimized whole. It simply does not work that way. Optimizing all the parts does not optimize the whole. After leaving LZB four years ago I started documenting the design of the entire business to show relationships and how the parts needed to work together. It actually shows how to align the parts of a company – the holy grail of business.
You have some process work in your course. If you are a process designer you know that processes are invisible until each activity/component is documented. Documenting processes is actually documenting process designs. It is only when the entire process is visible that you can determine if a change is warranted and what the impact of that change will be. By documenting the process before making changes you minimize risks of unintended results. Also by documenting the process you can determine whether the process needs to be changed in order to achieve certain performance goals or if it is a matter of execution. Poor process performance is the result of either a poor design or the poor execution of the design. Until you document the process you can not know where the problem exists. More than 80% of the time it is design-related.
Now reread the last paragraph and substitute the word 'process' with the word 'business'. The principles are exactly the same. Most executives (people in your class) do not understand that businesses have designs. They know products have designs and some will know processes have designs but few if any will know that the business has an actual design. And because they do not know designs exist in businesses they do not look at the design when they are having performance issues. They look at their employees (remember performance = design + execution) and if you can not see the design you go after execution. This is why so many projects in companies have such a low ROI and management is frustrated with their investments. They are not resolving the root cause.
I know this is a roundabout way of getting to one suggestion I would have with your course. And that is context. Context provides the appropriate background for any area of study. One pet peeve of mine is when people judge actions taken decades ago and use today's mores as the backdrop. Without knowing what was going on in the past those judging do not have the right context to understand the actions that were taken. Without understanding the entire business your students may not fully grasp Operations. I do see that you speak about business and process design and I want to encourage you to show how things are connected, not separated. It really is not 'business and operations' any more that it was 'the business and IT'. All of it is the business because "Everything is connected to everything".
There is a particular sequence that leads up to the performance requirements for Operations.
Ø Capstone.
o Strategic information such as the determination of the performance goals for the company. What are the revenue goals and profit goals? They drive everything.
o In addition you have to understand the competitive environment. Without knowing the competitive environment you are making plans in a vacuum. Returning to the idea of context, the competitive environment provides the context for designing the business for success.
Ø Market Model.
o Markets, customer segments, product groups, products and Value Propositions.
o Determine whether your Market Model can deliver on your revenue goals. If not you have to make adjustments to the Market Model design. You may increase your markets, sell to new customers, develop new products or redesign existing products. You may acquire an existing company which will broaden your Market Model.
o Part of the work in documenting the Market Model is determining customer expectations. This is critical because Market Model requirements are input into Operations (Process Model).
Ø Process Model.
o The Process Model contains all of the processes that the business performs. What I am referring to may be slightly different than how you think about it. Selling is a process. Marketing is a process. Assembling components is a process. Making components is a process. There are processes that focus on Creating Demand for a company's products and services. There are processes created in order to Fulfill Demand for those products and services. I expect that in your course you equate Operations with Fulfill Demand processes. If I am correct in that assumption I would suggest that in the future you consider all processes as part of Operations. That is why Lean concepts work on the shop floor and in the office as well.
o The point I wish to make here is that the performance requirements for processes is not arbitrary. The market place will determine what is an acceptable price or acceptable lead time both of which are determined by the Process design (Operations). The market gives Operations the minimum requirements in order to be competitive.
I will stop here. I have probably worn out my welcome by now. You should know there are two more Models that are part of a business design: Organizational Model and Systems Model. If you wish to have an overview of them I would be glad to share it with you.
Everything I have written comes from my business partner and me. I can not direct you to a different source because we are the sources for these ideas. This is just the tip of our ice berg. I have much, much more I could discuss.
Let me know if you wish any clarification on the ideas I have presented. I will be glad to respond."

Q. I recently received a Facebook friend request from my former sponsored child. Should I accept it?
A. While we can't prevent a former sponsored child from trying to find and contact their sponsor via Facebook, we do encourage everyone to consider any potential risks that could happen from direct contact.
These risks may not come from your friend, but from other people within your friend's community who learn about their direct contact with you in the U.S.
Some of these risks could include requests being made to you for ongoing support, or people trying to extort money from your friend or friend's family because they are in direct contact with someone in the U.S.
For these reasons, CFCA does not facilitate or encourage direct contact between sponsors and their former sponsored friends.
We cherish the friendships that form between sponsored friends and sponsors through our program. Unfortunately, our ability to safely facilitate these friendships is only through the sponsorship program.
Please note: CFCA's child protection policies do not allow current sponsors to be in unsupervised communication with sponsored friends, including social media such as Facebook.
To protect the privacy of our sponsors and ensure that all communications with sponsored friends are appropriate, our project staffs monitor all correspondence.

Kids of the Black Hole (Paperback)
Punk Rock Postsuburban California
University of Oklahoma Press, 9780806140414, 192pp.
Publication Date: November 15, 2010
List Price: 19.95*
* Individual store prices may vary.
Captures the excitement and creativity of a neglected episode in youth culture and rock history Los Angeles rock generally conjures memories of surf music, The Doors, or Laurel Canyon folkies. But punk? L.A.'s punk scene, while not as notorious as that of New York City, emerged full-throated in 1977 and boasted bands like The Germs, X, and Black Flag. This book explores how, in the land of the Beach Boys, punk rock took hold. As a teenager, Dewar MacLeod witnessed firsthand the emergence of the punk subculture in Southern California. As a scholar, he here reveals the origins of an as-yet-uncharted revolution. Having combed countless fanzines and interviewed key participants, he shows how a marginal scene became a "mass subculture" that democratized performance art, and he captures the excitement and creativity of a neglected episode in rock history. Kids of the Black Hole tells how L.A. punk developed, fueled by youth unemployment and alienation, social conservatism, and the spare landscape of suburban sprawl communities; how it responded to the wider cultural influences of Southern California life, from freeways to architecture to getting high; and how L.A. punks borrowed from their New York and London forebears to create their own distinctive subculture. Along the way, MacLeod not only teases out the differences between the New York and L.A. scenes but also distinguishes between local styles, from Hollywood's avant-garde to Orange County's hardcore. With an intimate knowledge of bands, venues, and zines, MacLeod cuts to the heart of L.A. punk as no one has before. Told in lively prose that will satisfy fans, Kids of the Black Hole will also enlighten historians of American suburbia and of youth and popular culture. Dewar MacLeod is Associate Professor of History at William Paterson University in Wayne, New Jersey.

Ring-a-Ding-Ding! - Part 6
You can explore the rest of the casino at will, taking the time to play games and speak to the rare people who will speak to you at length (most of the people roaming around here are Chairmen, and none of them will have much to say). On Swank's suggestion, one place you should definitely seek out is the Aces Theater on the second floor of the casino. There, you'll meet a man named Tommy Torini. Tommy is a talent scout and the manager of talent here at the Tops. And naturally, he's always looking for new acts. If you play your cards right with him (pardon the pun), you can convince him to let you help him find new talent. This will unlock the Side Quest entitled Talent Pool , which you can undertake at your convenience.
Otherwise, the next stop for you should be the Benny's suite on the thirteenth floor. There are eight elevators clustered together in the far corner of the first floor of the casino. Seven of them are clearly marked as inactive, but the eighth one will let you access the thirteenth floor. Once up there, head rightward from the elevator, and seek out the double-door suite on the left side of the hallway. Your key will let you enter with no problems. Benny's suite isn't exactly the most impressive place you've ever seen. There's little of interest here, except for some random Cartons of Cigarettes. Of course, there are three magazines to find here, should you choose to be thorough enough to search for them. Add Salesman Weekly, Locksmith's Reader and Lad's Life to your inventory when you can.
Of course, if you're extra thorough in exploring Benny's suite, you'll come across what's really important to see here -- a hidden brick room to the right of his bedroom. In there, you'll find a robot to speak with, aptly named Yes Man. You're going to learn a great deal from Yes Man, since he's been programmed to be forthcoming with all sorts of information without hiding anything. That's good news for you, and bad news for Benny. It's at this point that you'll learn that Benny's goal is to take over the Strip. We won't go into the finer details of the story (we'll let you extract the information from Yes Man yourself), but needless to say, this conversation is going to open up a whole slew of new quests for you to eventually undertake. Three main missions will be unlocked -- Wild Card: Side Bets, Wild Card: You and What Army? and Wild Card: Change in Management , as well as a lone Side Quest called How Little We Know . If you didn't get all of these quests, you weren't thorough enough in your conversation with Yes Man, so keep on talking!
There's little left to do now but to return to the first floor and speak with Swank. Tell him everything you learned from Yes Man, which will just about send Swank right over the edge. You now have some options, though, so it's time to take advantage of them and deal with Benny once and for all. Tell Swank to tell Benny to meet him back up in his suite. You can feel free to then go and speak with Benny back in his normal position on the first floor, but again, keep things cool for now. You'll get to deal with him in a more private fashion shortly.
Once you've spoken to Swank and given him the instructions to tell Benny to meet you up at his suite, return to the elevator and head up to the thirteenth floor once more. This time, you'll find Benny sitting at the small bar in his room, waiting for you. When you arrive, Benny will begin to offer you all sorts of deals, from a partnership to a room fully paid for in your name. You can take these offers if you want, but we saw right through them. Instead, it's time for things to come to blows. Attack Benny and take him out quickly; since you're alone, no one else around you should be alerted to what just went down. When Benny's dead, scour his body for the Platinum Chip you so desperately need, in addition to Maria (his pistol), Benny's Suit, and Benny's Suite Key. That should end the quest.

Homemade Christmas Gifts: Shrinky Dink Photo Ornaments
What could be more fun
and more personal
than Christmas Ornaments
with family photos?!
I was SO EXCITED
when I found ink jet printable
shrinky dink film
at our local craft store (Michaels).
I got to work making ornaments
for teachers, bus drivers,
grandmas, and myself!
The Mini-Saurus and her sassy self
in her red glitter shoes.
(made one for me
and one for grandma)
You have to read the directions
and adjust your printer
color settings
to dilute the color and crank up the contrast.
I trimmed my corners of my film
with my scrapbooking corner rounder punch.
I used a star shaped hole punch
for most of the ornaments.
After they baked in the oven,
I used gold craft wire,
needle nose wire pliers, and
assorted glass beads from my
collection to make the "hangers"
Teacher gift for Mini-Saurus'
preschool teacher
(photo of them on the first day of school)
The Frog Princess' Bus Driver.
(Bus Driver Gift)
remember the hand sanitizer
and school bus
we made last year?
Another Teacher Gift
The Frog Princess and her teacher this year!

Here is how the world has reacted to his death.
White House press secretary Jay Carney:
"We remain committed to stability on the Korean peninsula, and to the freedom and security of our allies."
British Foreign Secretary William Hague:
"This could be a turning point for North Korea. We hope that their new leadership will recognize that engagement with the international community offers the best prospect of improving the lives of ordinary North Korean people."
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Ma Zhaoxu:
"We were distressed to learn of the unfortunate passing of the senior-most North Korean leader Kim Jong Il, and we express our grief about this and extend our condolences to the people of North Korea. We are confident that the North Korean people will be able to turn their anguish into strength and unify as one."
Dr John Swenson-Wright, associate fellow of the Asia Programme at London-based think thank Chatham House: "It comes at a particularly bad time. In North Korea, it will overshadow preparations for the spring celebrations of the 100th anniversary of the birth of President Kim Il Sung. In South Korea there are elections and for the United States, President Obama is also in an election year with a difficult economy and quite pressing international concerns elsewhere."Video: Haass: Kim Jong Il was 'tactically brilliant' (on this page)
Australia's Foreign Minister Kevin Rudd:
"The absolute importance is maintain calm and restraint at this time of critical leadership transition ... This is the single most armed military zone anywhere in the world."
Victor Cha, a Korea expert with the Center for Strategic and International Studies think tank in Washington:
"Up until tonight, if anybody had asked you what would be the most likely scenario under which the North Korean regime could collapse, the answer would be the sudden death of Kim Jong Il. And so I think right now we're in that scenario and we don't know how it's going to turn out."
Story: Kim Jong Il's youngest son dubbed 'great successor'
Kim Ok-tae, a 58-year old pastor from Seoul, South Korea:
"The whole earth should celebrate it as much as Christmas. I am not at all afraid. I don't see any likelihood of North Korea lashing out unexpectedly."
Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Osamu Fujimura:
"We hope this sudden event does not have an adverse effect on the peace and stability of the Korean peninsula."
Dane Chamorro, a regional director at the Global Risks consultancy:
"Often in times like this, the regime will do something to demonstrate that it is still viable, powerful, still a threat. It might be a missile test, some type of aggression or conflict."
Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt:
"The death of a dictator is always a period of uncertainty for a dictatorship. And North Korea is the hardest dictatorship in our time."
Brian Shin, a 30-year-old native South Korean who lives in Los Angeles:
"Kim Jong Il died? You're sure about that? No way! I thought he was going to live forever!"

Notebooks Guide

Ultra Chic and Slim
Ultra Chic and Slim
It's been a decade since Sony introduced its first ultra portable notebook, the VAIO 505 in Japan. Expensive, classy but undeniably handy, this tiny notebook measured less than an inch thick, seemed to weigh even less and most of all, had an irresistible charm that has become a key requirement of the VAIO design philosophy. While its price and niche genre probably restricted it to a small audience, the notebook has its share of fans (there's even an old web ring for VAIO 505 owners with tips and information) and now, ten years from that moment, Sony has sought to commemorate this milestone with a new take on the ultra slim notebook.
The end result is the new VAIO TZ series, designed by some members of the original development team that came up with the VAIO 505 and others who have been inspired by it. Their goal was like most product refreshes - keeping with the style and elegance of the original while updating it with the latest technology. For the top model, the VGN-TZ18GN, this includes a cutting edge solid state drive (SSD) using flash memory, an ultra low voltage Core 2 Duo processor from Intel and the latest Microsoft Windows Vista OS. Meanwhile, the latest advances in material sciences and LCD technologies mean that this VAIO comes with a light but sturdy carbon fiber chassis and a vibrant, bright display that puts others into the shade, literally.
So yes, maybe we seem to be hyperventilating a bit now. But, don't take our words for granted, check out the ultra thin notebooks below and tell us honestly you don't fancy them. We received both the TZ17GN and the TZ18GN from Sony for this article, but we will only be focusing on the premium VGN-TZ18GN here. Hence, the specifications for the table are based on the TZ18GN. However, there is virtually no difference on paper between the two except for the SSD on the TZ18GN instead of the usual SATA hard drive (and the price tag of course).

Latest Reviews of Rehabs in Parish, NY
Serenity Lane
they get people clean and keep them that way no weaknesses that come to mind it is something people have to find for their own well being
Letty Owings Center
I think the treatment is pretty effective. The program is for women and children, reuniting moms with their children who are in foster care or unborn. A lot of parenting skills are emphasized and a lot of families are reunited. We allow mothers to have their children in treatment with them. This is especially important for pregnant women with a history of using. Their baby would be removed at birth in most cases. By coming into treatment prior to giving birth, most of our babies are born drug free. The mother can return to the facility with her child and the support of our staff. We have an onsite pediatric nurse and a licensed nursery. We encourage breast feeding and bonding. Most of these women do not have a clue about being a mother and are eager to learn. Due to budget constraints we are unable to offer many "extra" curricular activities for the women. We do have yoga and acupuncture but there are so many cultural events that happen in our city that it would be awesome to expose these women to but this is beyond our budget.

SAN JOSE -- The San Jose State student accused of being the ringleader in the relentless hazing of his black roommate pleaded not guilty Monday to misdemeanor hate-crime and battery charges.
Logan Beaschler, 18, of Bakersfield, faces up to a year in county jail if he is convicted in last year's alleged hazing, which has sparked tremendous anger in the community and on the diverse campus. The 6-foot-tall man with dark hair appeared in court wearing a blue, button-down shirt, but his attorney spoke for him.
Three other young men -- Joseph Bomgardner, 19, of Clovis, Colin Warren, 18, of Woodacre, and an unidentified juvenile -- have not yet entered pleas.
The hazing took place last fall in a suite of a campus dorm, according to reports by police and housing officials obtained by this newspaper.
The defendants are accused of displaying a Confederate flag, writing a racial slur on a dry-erase in the living room, repeatedly locking the then-17-year-old victim in his room and clamping a U-shaped bicycle lock around his neck.
Officials said the hazing began with nicknaming the black student "Three-fifths,'' referring to the way the government once counted blacks as just a fraction of a person. When he protested, they dubbed him "Fraction."
Beaschler's lawyer, Chuck Mesirow, asked Judge Ronald T. Lisk on Monday to waive his client's $15,000 bail and allow him to remain free on his own recognizance.
But Lisk denied the request. The other two adult defendants also are out on $15,000 bail. The juvenile proceedings are sealed.
All four have been suspended from the university.
Mesirow said in a phone interview that Beaschler still is awaiting final word from the university, but expects to be expelled. Expulsion would bar him from enrolling at another California State University campus.
He urged people not to typecast his client, saying Beaschler was the only white player on his former soccer team in Bakersfield and that his family is "far from being racist.''
"We apologize, and we're very ashamed of this,'' Mesirow said, speaking for the family.
But Mesirow said the incidents were part of a broader series of pranks that included others in the dorm. Some of the participants apparently were motivated by a desire to be "edgy,'' not racially offensive.
"I'm not defending these insensitive, stupid acts by immature young men,'' he added. "But I don't think anyone (who knows Beaschler) thinks my client was racist.''
San Jose State also has set up a task force to investigate the incident and hired Mike D. Moye, a prominent black San Francisco lawyer with experience handling sensitive issues, to conduct an independent review and produce a report.
The report is due Jan. 30. Campus officials have said it will be posted online immediately.
Retired Judge LaDoris Cordell, who now serves as the city's police watchdog, will oversee the task force. The group's report is expected in April.
University officials announced the convening of the task force last year after student protesters demanded action from school leaders who were also under fire for tabling a study that found racial and ethnic groups on campus felt they were experiencing prejudice.
The university has not released the names of any task force members.
