An example of this phenomenon can also be found in Paul Waldman's attempt to explain President Obama to those who are criticizing his response to Ferguson. He cites the political polarization in polling about what the President has done. But then he assumes that all he's done is talk.
The important context to keep in mind for these figures is that Obama hasn't actually done much of anything to either be pleased or displeased about. His statements on the subject have been designed to offend no one, trying to touch every possible perspective...Nowhere in that article does Waldman mention that the FBI has initiated an investigation or that AG Holder visited Ferguson yesterday. And of course there's no talk about what's been going on behind the scenes with telephone conversations President Obama, Eric Holder and other members of the administration have had with community leaders and local officials. Its as if Waldman thinks the only tool a president has for dealing with a situation like this is the bully pulpit.
That's why this editorial in the NYT by Tali Mendelberg and Bennett Butler is such a refreshing change of pace. They take on the critique by many on the left that President Obama hasn't addressed poverty.
A true measure of a president's priorities lies hidden in plain sight in his budget proposals. Under that standard, Mr. Obama has been more committed to communities like Ferguson than any Democratic president in the past half century.After providing data to demonstrate their point, the authors attempt to explain why - given this record - President Obama is subjected to this kind of criticism. Their answer is that he doesn't talk much about poverty..."Mr. Obama has been spending without saying."
By looking at what percentage of the budget presidents propose to spend to fight poverty, we can compare their degree of commitment...
Using this method, we find that President Obama attempted to deliver far more than his counterparts. The Congressional Budget Office's inflation-adjusted numbers show that Mr. Obama sought to spend far more on means-tested anti-poverty programs than other first-term Democratic presidents.
But I'd challenge them on that point as well. If you pay attention to how President Obama talks about these issues, you will almost always find him talking about "the middle class and those who are struggling to get into the middle class." In other words, he addresses their aspirations rather than their current condition. That kind of nuance doesn't show up on a nexus search on the word "poverty" and it often goes right over the head of most pundits. But its just another way this President demonstrates his empathy.
So yes, words matter. But in the end, when it comes to the presidency, actions matter more.

Tatjana Humphries, manager at The Guild: Why firms are recognising that coworking hubs are good for business
Neither working from home or in a homogeneous office space can be good for business which is why companies, of all sizes, are being encouraged to consider coworking hubs for their employees. Tatjana Humphries, manager at The Guild – Bath's new city centre coworking hub – explains the advantages.
We opened Coworking Bath – The Guild this summer, and have already signed up an impressive membership who are loving our fantastic modern space and the chance to meet and work with other likeminded people.
Coworking is so often pitched as being for freelancers or startups, but that really couldn't be further from the truth. There are so many opportunities in the coworking space for big businesses and organisations.
With increased travel costs and more companies offering flexible working, big organisations have more and more staff working from home. However, this doesn't come without its challenges, as demonstrated by Yahoo recently when they banned all homeworking. Coworking can help companies strike a balance between the flexibility of homeworking and the structure of an office.
Having suitable work facilities can be one of the biggest challenges in allowing employees to homework. By encouraging them to use a local coworking space you can rest assured that they'll have a light and airy work environment with superfast wifi access, and dedicated work environments suitable for the type of work they do.
The Guild has photocopiers, SLR cameras, podcast equipment, a Mac with Creative Cloud Suite and many different meeting rooms, meaning that users can carry out pretty much any business activity in a modern and suitable environment that reflects your business ethos in a good light. Best of all, this is all included in their membership fee so it is easy for companies to manage.
It's a great way to encourage creativity. Big organisations can quickly become silo environments where creativity falls aside in favour of processes. By having staff in a coworking space, sitting alongside people working in other sectors, you'll benefit from them seeing alternative ways of solving problems and bringing these back to the organisation. Coworking spaces are, by nature, highly dynamic hubs of activity.
Just because they live a long way from the office, it doesn't mean your staff actually enjoy working at home. Many may miss the camaraderie of being in a team, others might struggle to 'turn off' at the end of the day. Coworking spaces can offer workers a clear start and end to the day, at hours that are usually far more flexible than a normal office – in Bath we have a 24 hour service. They're also collaborative and friendly, so workers have a social side to their day which they would miss working at their kitchen table. Coworkers regularly report being happier and having better mental health from getting up to go to work in the morning, and having people to socialise with and share ideas and problems with throughout the day.
Tap into a new community. Coworking hubs often create their own communities of talented, creative people. The Guild for example holds member only events, and also hosts a number of local networks like Bath Digital and Bath SPARK.
Having employees in this space will give your organisation an opportunity to network and become part of these communities, and your employees will be able to access training and talks that contribute to their professional development.
Start new business collaborations. Coworking spaces are fantastic at developing collaboration between people who would never ordinarily meet in a typical office environment. Whether it is a new start up which could benefit your business, or a new piece of software that will streamline your processes, having your staff working alongside other talented people you can guarantee opportunities will be forthcoming.
These are just some of the benefits for bigger companies in encouraging their staff to use coworking spaces rather than working from home. There are so many others, and many that will appeal to your staff and be seen as a fantastic benefit.

I. Restricted Spray Zones Around School Property
Pesticides move off the target site when they are sprayed, whether inside or outside. When sprayed outside pesticides drift on to nearby property resulting in off target residues. Buffer zones can eliminate exposure from spray drift on to school property. As a result, states require buffer zones around schools. In order to adequately protect against drift, buffer zones should, at a minimum, be established in a 2 mile radius around the school's property. Aerial applications should have a larger buffer zone, at least 3 miles encircling the school. Buffer zones should be in effect at all times of the day. It is especially important for spray restrictions to be in place during commuting times and while students and employees are on school grounds.
State Information
Ohio does not have any statewide requirements regarding restricted spray zones around school property.
II. Posting Notification Signs for Indoor Pesticide Applications
States use different approaches in providing school pesticide use information to parents, students and staff. Some forms include the posting of notification signs and/or the distribution of notices directly to the affected population. Posted notification signs warn those in the school when and where pesticides have been or are being applied. This is a vehicle for basic right-to-know if the posting occurs in an area where it is easily seen by parents, students and staff. It is important to post signs for indoor pesticide applications because of the extensive period of time students and school employees spend at school. Signs posted prior to commencement of the pesticide application, not after, are more protective. The prior notification system effectively enables people to take precautionary action. Because of the residues left behind after an application, signs should remain posted for at least 72 hours. It takes time for pesticides to start breaking down and some pesticide residues can least for weeks. Signs should also be posted at all main entrances of the building and the specific area sprayed, on the main bulletin board, and, for more comprehensive notification, in the school newspaper or on the daily announcements. Posted signs should state when and where a pesticide is applied, the name of the pesticide applied and how to get further information, such as a copy of the material safety data sheet (MSDS) and the product(s) label.
State Information
Ohio does not have any statewide posting requirements for indoor pesticide applications.
III. Posting Notification Signs for Outdoor Pesticide Applications
For a wider range of protection, states should require posting pesticide notification signs for outdoor pesticide applications as well. Students who play sports or people continually on the lawns represent a high risk when applications occur on school property. Dermal exposure can occur when a football player gets tackled, a soccer player slides to make a block or a student sits on the grass to eat lunch or watch a game. Inhalation exposure can occur when a player breathes in kicked up dust and dirt and pesticide residues. Even spectators at a game or passersby face inhalation exposure to pesticides that volatilize or vaporize off the treated area.
State Information
Ohio Rule 901:5-11-09, promulgated under Ohio Revised Code chapter 119, requires posting signs for pesticide applications made to public lawns, which include "school yards." The sign must remain for at least 24 hours after treatment. The sign includes information on how to get facts regarding the pesticides used in the application.
IV. Prior Written Notification
Written notification of pesticide use is a good way to make sure that all parents, children and staff are aware and warned of pesticide use in the schools. Limited notification-based registries is a less effective means of notifying people and does not qualify as right-to-know because of its limited scope. Requiring that individuals place themselves on registries, sometimes only with a doctor's letter, afford only those who already know about toxic exposure the opportunity to be informed about pesticide use in the school. Prior notification should be 72 hours in advance to make sure the information has been received, to get further information regarding the pesticide and to make arrangements to avoid the exposure, if necessary. Notification should include the name of the pesticide(s), a summary of the adverse health effects listed on the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) and label, the day and time, and area of the application and how to obtain a copy of the MSDS and label.
State Information
Ohio law requires schools to establish a parent which provides advance written notification of pesticide applications "as soon as possible."
V. Prohibitions on Use
Limiting when and what pesticides are applied in and around schools is important to the reduction of pesticide exposure. Pesticides should never be applied when students or employees are in the area or may be in the area within 24 hours of the application. In reality, certain types of pesticides, such as carcinogens, endocrine disrupters, reproductive toxins, developmental toxins, neurotoxins, persistent compounds and substances, bioaccumulative compounds and substances, toxicity category 1 acutely toxic pesticides and ground water contaminants should not be used around children.
State Information
Ohio does not have any state laws restricting school pesticide use.
VI. Integrated Pest Management
A good integrated pest management (IPM) program can eliminate the unnecessary application of synthetic, volatile pesticides in schools. The main elements of a good IPM program include: 1) monitoring to establish whether there is a pest problem, 2) identifying the causes of the pest problem, 3) addressing the cause by changing conditions to prevent problems, 4) utilizing pest suppression techniques, if necessary, that are based on mechanical and biological controls and 5) only after non-toxic alternatives have been tried and exhausted, use the least toxic pesticide. An IPM policy should include a written policy guide and a prohibited and acceptable materials list. Material that could be considered after using other methods include boric acid and disodium octoborate tetrahydrate, silica gels, diatomaceous earth, insect growth regulators, insect and rodent baits in tamper resistant containers or for crack and crevice placement only, microbe-based insecticides, botanical insecticides (not including synthetic pyrethriods) without toxic synergists, and biological (living) control agents.
State Information
Ohio does not have any statewide requirements for implementation of Integrated Pest Management (IPM). If you have any information please contact us at [email protected].

I'm posting Freshwater Species of the Week a day early because I just caught wind that biologists have discovered "monster" goldfish breeding in Lake Tahoe.
I visited Lake Tahoe a few winters ago, and can say with experience that it's a stunning natural gem. Snow-capped peaks ring the crystal-clear blue water, which supports a diverse ecosystem.
The lake is a huge draw to tourists to the California-Nevada border. The region supports a booming ski industry, although locals told me it seems even busier in the summer, when city dwellers pour in to swim, boat, hike, and cycle, or just cool off in the serene waters.
To keep Lake Tahoe as pristine as possible, a team of biologists from the University of Nevada, Reno (where Water Currents' own Zeb Hogan is based!) and California State Fish and Game patrol its waters throughout the year. They are monitoring invasive species like largemouth bass. The scientists use electric probes to stun fish, and then they scoop them up with their nets to count and examine them.
As KCRA in Sacramento reports, researcher Christine Ngai of the University of Nevada, Reno, said, "You can get 200 fish in one scoop." (We reached out to Ngai and are hoping to speak with her.)
But hungry bass is not all that the scientists pull up. "You just see this bright golden orange thing starting to float up, and you're like, what is that?
"Then you take your net and scoop it up, and it's like, it's a goldfish," said Ngai.
Some of these non-native fish have reached almost a foot and a half long in the lake. And they seem to be multiplying, say the scientists. In one day, Ngai and her colleagues caught 15 in one small part of the lake.
How Did Goldfish Get There?
KCRA suggests that goldfish may have been released in the lake by well-meaning pet owners. A commenter on Huffington Post also noted that goldfish are often used as cheap bait for bass, so that seems to be another plausible intro point, if they wiggle off the hook, or if fishermen empty their bait buckets at the end of the day.
Ted Thayer of Tahoe Regional Planning Agency told KCRA, "Those small things people do can have a large impact, when you consider that it's probably not just one person doing it."
For now, goldfish aren't thought to be as big a problem as the non-native bass, since they are outnumbered 100 to 1. But the fact that they are new arrivals, and are breeding, is pause for concern. The researchers also point out that goldfish can have big appetites, and they excrete a lot of nutrients, which can dirty that clear water and stimulate algae to grow.
Tahoe, like most of the world's lakes, is already facing stresses, from pollution to climate change. Non-native species often can tip the balance to a radically different ecosystem.

BLOG 79. Canoe Trip Ethics
by Cliff Jacobson
A bright summer morning on any river. A crowd of canoers prepare for a downstream float. It's 9:30 a.m. and confusion abounds. "Weren't we supposed to shuttle at 9?" someone asks. What! You say the shuttle's gone? I didn't hear any announcement. How'm I gonna get my car to Reedsville landing?"
Between the mix of uncertainty and lack of communication, there is misunderstanding of the day's events.
"They say we'll be done by four."
"Better be! Gotta be home by five. We shoulda left an hour ago. Where is Robertson (the leader) anyway?"
Finally, the shuttle is done and the pack moves to the water's edge. Left behind are soft drink cans, candy wrappers and styrofoam cups.
Once on the river, the fun begins. The kids have their ghetto blasters, and some of the adults have beer. Lots of beer! Invariably, you can get one for the asking.
Round the bend is an easy rapid, but for the drinkers it's already a four beer day. Suddenly, there's a capsize. Everyone is quickly rescued—but wait. "Where's the beer? You mean we lost the whole case?
A noon lunch is planned, but the undulating mass doesn't reach the appointed spot till two. When the drag canoe finally arrives, the lead boat has already left. The paddlers build a hasty fire, wolf down some charred weiners then beat a hasty retreat back to the canoe. On the run, they kick sand over the determined flames. Is the fire out? Who knows? They never looked back!
Around three o'clock, a persistent head wind develops and the canoes spread out further. The gap widens as those in pusher aluminum and Royalex canoes fall behind. With knowing smiles, Robertson takes the lead in his quick Kevlar cruiser. "We'll teach you slugs what "efficient" canoeing is all about!
The lead canoes reach the take out at 4:06, as planned. Two hours later the last boats arrive. Sorry guys, the last car's been shuttled.
You're probably thinking: "good story, Cliff, considering you made it up." But I didn't. Not one word. I have, however, changed the names to protect the guilty.
Environmental neglect is more often a matter of insensitivity than illegality. Since the group "leader" is the one who sets the tone, let's discuss him or her first.
The leader: The problem is, most groups don't have one. Too often, the one who plays the part is inexperienced and disorganized. Show me a group with a good leader and I'll show you ethical behavior on the river.
Here are the tenets of good leaderhsip:
1. The leader leads. No one passes the leader. Ever!
2. The most experienced canoeist (next to the leader) paddles "drag". The drag canoe never passes anyone. Rest stops are timed from the arrival of the drag--not the lead--canoe.
3. The end-of-trip shuttle does not begin until the last canoe touches shore!
4. Each canoe keeps visual contact with the canoe BEHIND it. Rationale: It's easy to drop back but hard to push ahead and catch a fast team.
5. Emergency equipment (first-aid kit, fire-starters, etc.), folding saw, hand-axe, are carried in both lead and drag canoes.
6. In a capsize, nearby canoes rescue the swimmers first, canoe and gear second.
7. The group leader should make the nature of the trip (slow float, fast cruise, whitewater, etc.) clear before the trip.
8. Everyone gets a list of essential equipment and "do's and don'ts", in advance of the trip.
Here are some other expectations:
1. No radios or cell phone calls.
2. Those who don't have essential items (a PFD, plus appropriate clothing and rain gear) don't go.
3. Wear your life jacket! This does not mean "have it available". Remove your PFD on a well run club outing and you'll hear about it!
4. Shuttle: Everyone wants his car at the take-out so he can get home quickly. Those who volunteer to taxi their friends back to the put-in are greatly appreciated!
5. Beer: It's okay to have a beer with lunch, providing you carry out the can. However, continuous sipping on the river is frowned upon.
6. Garbage: You brought it in, you pack it out! A plastic trash bag tied to to a canoe thwart is a non-intimidating way to educate others.
7. Human waste: Bury waste away from water, and burn the toilet paper. Douse the flames with water. Cover the hole with dirt. Or, use a sanitary "toilet bag" system (Biffy Bag, Clearwaste, etc.).
8. Cruising speed. There is always a fast team who wants to show off and an inexperienced one who lags behind--a scenario that can produce a chain of canoes miles long. It is impossible to maintain control over a fleet that's spread out. So, spell out the requirements of the cruise before you set out.
9. Smoking: smokers please field-strip your cigarettes and carry out the butts.
10. Rowdy behavior: DO tactfully call inconsiderate practices to the attention of the group. The clown you're addressing might just be educable!
11. Don't play dodge-'em with your canoe. If you want to see fur fly, crash into (indeed, just nick!) someone's $2,600 Kevlar canoe with a rental tank. Boy, are you in for a surprise!
12. Packing your gear: Everything should be packed in waterproof containers that float.
I could continue, but these are the basic concerns--all of which may be summarized by two simple cliches: "Take only pictures, leave only footprints." And respect the rights of others.

Iraq war veteran Kayvan Sabeghi, 32, is finally speaking out after Oakland police shot him in the spleen with a rubber bullet during the Occupy Oakland demonstration last week.
STORY: Occupy Oakland Police Brutality Causes Second Iraq War Vet To Be Hospitalized
Sabeghi had joined in a march the day before, but was only trying to get home when he was beaten by police early Thursday.
Kayvan is the second Iraq war veteran to be hospitalized by Oakland riot police.
Another protester, Scott Olsen, suffered a fractured skull on October 25th at the hands of Oakland law enforcement.
Sabehgi was taken to Highland hospital and from his hospital bed told the Guardian:
"There was a group of police in front of me, they told me to move, but I was like: 'Move to where?' There was nowhere to move.
Then they lined up in front of me. I was talking to one of them, saying 'Why are you doing this?' when one moved forward and hit me in my arm and legs and back with his baton. Then three or four cops tackled me and arrested me."
Sabeghi left the army in 2007 and now part-owns a small bar-restaurant in El Cerrito, about 10 miles north of Oakland. He said he was handcuffed and placed in a police van for three hours before being taken to jail. By the time he got there he was in "unbelievable pain."
He said:
"My stomach was really hurting, and it got worse to the point where I couldn't stand up. I was on my hands and knees and crawled over the cell door to call for help."
He said he had his arms folded and was "totally peaceful" before being arrested.
This is the second incident in two weeks where Oakland police has shot an unarmed demonstrator.
In the wake of the Scott Olsen shooting and now Sabeghi's shooting, veterans from all over the country have been coming out to support the protesters.

In the near future GRIAT is planning to launch double PhD-programs jointly with its partner-universities.
GRIAT Master students will be accepted to joint doctoral programs and receive not just their Russian candidate of science degree, but also a degree as doctor of philosophy (PhD) upon completion of their dissertation research. Upon completing their education, postgraduates defend dissertations in both Germany and Russia, receiving two international-format degrees simultaneously: a candidate's degree in Russia, and a PhD in Germany.
Applicants for doctoral programs must:
- be Master's students of GRIAT;
- have excellent academic performance;
- have a high level of English confirmed by international certificates.
The topic of dissertation research should adhere to the interests of both universities and must be a match for the potential research advisors at KNRTU-KAI and German partner-universities. Upon admittance, each postgraduate student will be assigned a research advisor rom each university.

- 10 planet cards
- 40 token cards
- 64 tokens for tracking damage, resources, and more
- 2 servo-skull command dials
All of the cards within Conquest are adorned with some exquisite artwork. Those of you who own a few Codexes will be familiar with some of it but there is also plenty of original work as well. The Warlord cards really stand out here and will make any miniature modelers want to re-create them for their gaming table.
Basic Gameplay MechanicsConquest is designed for two players, with each choosing to play as a race from the 40k Universe. Included in the core set is Space Marines, Imperial Guard, Orks, Eldar, Dark Eldar, Chaos and Tau. Each race has their own named Warlord and a host of cards unique to their race. These cards feature a whole host of war gear and units familiar to anyone who has played the tabletop game.
The aim of the game is to either capture three planets that share the same *INSERT NAME* or to kill your opponents Warlord. The game itself follows a simultaneous turn system with one player performing their action for that phase followed by their opponents action. The order in which this is done is based on who has the Initiative for that turn which alternates as the turns progress so you are always involved in the action and never waiting for their opponent for any length of time.
The game also features a resource system which must be spent in order for a player to play any cards from their hands. Each player receives some resources at the start of each turn but more can be acquired by controlling/capturing planets or through special card actions. This mechanics helps to add an additional layer of strategy to the game. You'll find yourself debating on whether or not to save up for the that Dreadnought and miss a deployment or send out some cheap scouts in the mean
time. You are also constantly looking for how to get more resources, be it by capturing planets or exploiting your special event cards.
Unsurprisingly, the combat is where the game really shines. Planetary battles between units will continue until one side is wiped out or retreats with each unit taking turns to attack their opponents. This is a great way to avoid tedious stalemates and gives the game some good pace. However, it is not simply a case of throwing units into a meat grinder. Preparing for the battles by deploying the best units for the job and equipping them with special weapons is vital for ensuring victory. However, even when you are feeling overwhelmed, Support and Event cards can be played to turn the tide of battle albeit at the expense of precious resources.
As I mentioned before, one of the ways you can win is by capturing planets. Whilst there are several planets in play at one time only the 'First Planet' can be captured. Battles can be fought anywhere else but victory will not result in the taking of the planet. This ensures that there is a front line of fighting where players will inevitably channel their troops making them the locations of the larger battles of the game. However, smaller skirmishes may be fought in the outlying planets in order to secure additional cards and resources to fuel you war.
Ease of Learning / PlayBeing a complete Novice the card games I found Conquest to be exceptionally easy to pick up. The games comes with two rule books, a quick start guide and a rules reference booklet. The quick start guide guides you through the games turn sequences and introduces you to the games concepts in a clear and concise manner. The booklet is well illustrated and laid out with plenty of diagrams to help explain the more complex points. In addition to what you get in the box there is also a fantastic video tutorial created by Fantasy Flight Games to aid the new player in learning their game.
Once you have mastered the basics game play is fairly quick paced, this coupled with the fact that it is very easy to set up means games can feasibly be played and finished within an hour. While there were a few times where the rules were not especially clear on a subject it wasn't too difficult to find a solution be it a house rules or flipping a coin.
While my experience of Card Games is not a vast one I can say that I thoroughly enjoyed playing Warhammer 40k Conquest. For a newbie to the genre I found it to be quite a good bridge between my past in tabletop 40k and Card Gaming in general. The online resources and the rulebook made learning the game a stress free experience and I was playing the game with little rule book reference within no time. Requiring much less in terms of collecting and setting up its a fantastic set for getting started straight away.
The core set can also be expanded upon. Marketed as a 'Living Game' there have been 6 expansions with each set featuring a new warlord and new units for their respective races. This is good news for anyone who is a huge fan of deck building as you get much more choice in how you play.
So whether you are a card game veteran or a fan of 40k looking for something a little different Conquest is a great game to try. Everything you need to play is included in the Core Set which means you can get down to gaming straight away, although it is a rather strange experience to play a game of 40k without dice...

Our Patient - Todd
Meet Todd - Below Knee Amputee
Like for many amputees, Todd was faced with amputation with very little notice. Although optimistic, he wasn't sure if he would be able to get back to doing the things he truely enjoyed.
"There's so many options out there, that, you know, for me the decision from a prosthetic perspective was gonna be how close to
normal can I get, with the technology that's available and practitioners that are out there."
Todd began his search for that quality of service, talented practitioner and invested prosthetic facility. His path lead him to Fourroux Prosthetics.
"That's the great thing about Fourroux." says Todd. "Not only do they build a prosthesis for you, but they also educate you and actually work with you."
"I can't speak to how it was 20 years ago, but now there are based on the type of the type of work you do, the type of activity, the type of hobbies and interests you have. That's the beauty of it. It's tailored to the individual! It's a true collaborative process. That's part of Fourroux putting the patient first."
Because it's more than just getting an artificial limb back. It's really about getting you back where you need to be, and Fourroux was determined to get Todd back to doing the things he loved to do.
"I've been able to essentially do everything that I did before, except probably not run quite as far or quite as fast.' Todd explaings. "But I am running again, which is a blessing."

By Ashley Killough, CNN
(CNN) — Ann Romney said Friday her husband walked away from his acceptance speech feeling "confident" and described the night's events as a "reflective" time for her family.
"I mean I knew he had done a great job, and I think Mitt was pretty confident that he, he felt very good about his speech and was very excited to deliver it," Mrs. Romney said on CNN's "Starting Point."
Mitt Romney, who accepted the GOP presidential nomination Thursday night, delivered perhaps the most important speech of his political career in front of thousands at the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Florida.
In a Reaganesque speech, the candidate made his case for why voters should choose him over President Barack Obama this fall, arguing the country was no better off than it was four years ago.
"You know there's something wrong with the kind of job he's done as president when the best feeling you had was the day you voted for him," he said, drawing heavy applause.
His speech was also laced with heavy biographical tones in which he grew emotional talking about his parents and background. Prior to his address, friends and colleagues of Romney told stories about how the candidate had made an impact in their lives, whether it was through his time as a businessman, governor of Massachusetts or a leader in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
"A lot of people came into our lives through testimonials and different things that stood up and told a different side of Mitt than we've been hearing about from the attacks that have been coming our way," Mrs. Romney told CNN Chief Political Correspondent Candy Crowley.
She added: "It really was a reflective moment for us on looking back on our life."
Asked about the gender gap between Romney and Obama–one in which the president polls considerably higher among women than the Republican nominee–Mrs. Romney said this week was a chance for voters to see the number of influential women Romney has had in his life as colleagues and friends.
She further weighed in on a general scale, predicting more women will fall in the Republican column this cycle than they have in the past.
"I'm hearing from so many women that may not have considered voting for Republicans before but said it's time for the grown-up to come, the man that's going to take this very seriously and take the future of our children very, very seriously," she said, adding she believes this will be an "economic election."
When women were asked in a recent CNN/ORC International poll which candidate "cares more about the needs of people like you," 58% of women chose Obama, while 36% chose Romney.
Asked, however, which candidate would manage the government more effectively, the results were more split. Forty-six percent of women said Obama, while 44% chose Romney.
"A lot of women may be voting this cycle around in a different way than they usually are," Mrs. Romney said. "And that is thinking about the economy, thinking about their own jobs, their husbands jobs–but also thinking about the future." she said.

|Kenny Clarke (source: drummercafe.com)
Kenny Clarke, born one hundred years ago today, is one of the great drummers in the history of jazz. Any reference text will tell you about his role in the development of be-bop, his bomb-dropping, his shifting of the rhythm from the hi-hat to the ride cymbal and all that, which is correct and just fine, but there's much more.
Like Don Byas, he's one of those musicians whose place in posterity has been diminished because they left the US, the "out of sight, out of mind" principle. Before that, he played in the major leagues, he was part of the original line-up of the Modern Jazz Quartet (the rhythm section of Dizzy Gillespie's big band), with whom he recorded this
which seems to be the basis for what Miles Davis recorded as "Two Bass Hit". Interestingly, in the MJQ's version Milt Jackson quotes Clarke's "Epistrophy", a tune he co-signed with Thelonious Monk with origins in Minton's and the sessions with Charlie Christian (the theme was figured out by Clarke while playing some phrases Christian taught him on the ukulele).
A favourite piece of Clarke is the famous recording of "Topsy" from Minton's, with Christian on guitar, Monk on piano, and Nick Fenton on bass. Clarke's time, swing, and punctuation are flawless, but do listen for the way he interacts with Christian. That's peerless, on the spot creativity.
Another personal favourite is the opening track in Bud Powell's A Portrait of Thelonious, recorded in Paris and produced by Cannonball Adderley. If I'm not mistaken, on "Off Minor" Clarke plays exclusively brushes on the snare drum throughout. Lesser musicians would be limited by this. Not Clarke (Spotify):
Talking about Adderley, he and Clarke went back to 1955, when the saxophonist made his first ever recording, for the Savoy label; Clarke was the unofficial house drummer for the label, and Cannonball and his brother Nat are both featured in one of Clarke's groups.
As Kenny Burrell explains in Gary Carner's Joy Road: An Annotated Discography of Pepper Adams (Scarecrow Press, 2012), Clarke was instrumental in the introduction of a number of Detroit jazzmen in the New York scene, through his Savoy album Kenny Clarke Meets the Detroit Jazzmen, featuring the then unknown talents of Burrell himself, Pepper Adams, Tommy Flanagan, and Paul Chambers.
These are just small pieces of Clarke's long and fruitful musical life, there's much, much more worth exploring.
I leave you for now with a duet with another unjustly forgotten emigree, organ magician Lou Bennett.

The electoral college needs to be eliminated. A direct popular vote would allow for a more fair assessment of the countries desire. There have been multiple presidents who have won the electoral college votes but have failed to win the popular vote. The president should be elected by the majority of the people.
And far smaller votes. Obviously the President and VP could be voted for directly, but more power should be taken on a state level. State legislatures used to vote on Senators, and used to have far more power in decision making. Direct voting and smaller votes would mean more fair outcomes.
No, I do not think that the electoral college should be changed to simply the most popular vote. The government set this system up like they did for a reason, and it is important to have the electoral college make the final decision. They are very smart people and know what they are doing.
The current presidential electoral process is broken. There are many reasons for this, but a direct popular vote is not really the answer. Changing the rules so that if a candidate wins a district, then that the representation of that district, or the "vote" goes to the candidate. In the current system, the entirety of the "votes" goes to whoever won the state, regardless of how close it was. This kind of cheats a candidate out of votes. This more accurately depicts the voice of the people.
I don't think we should use simple popular votes on the presidential election. I think the way it is set up is the better way for our country. I do think the electoral college system needs to be updated a bit but the basic function of it should be kept in place.

If you are looking for a job that is fast paced, flexible, sales orientated, and challenging, then you might want to consider becoming a Call Centre Manager. The manager of a call centre has to wear many hats and they have to be motivated and be able to lead from the front. If you think this is you, then you may want to read on.
Job roles
There are basically two types of call centre, and these are 'inbound' and 'outbound' call centres. An inbound call centre answers queries, gives advice, takes orders and deals with complaints from customers and other businesses. An outbound call centre is used to contact clients or potential customers with the idea of selling a product. For a Call Centre Manager, the job role can be very similar. In essence the manager of a call centre is responsible for the overall efficient and effective running of that call centre. They will be setting targets for customer service representatives and will make sure that these goals/targets are hit. They are also responsible for making sure that the phones are answered in a timely manner.
Typical daily work
A typical day in the life of a call centre manager may include the following:
Making sure that the performance targets set, are being met
Managing the day to day running of the call centre
Liaising with supervisors, team leaders and operatives to resolve any issues
Offering feedback on staff performance via appraisals
Monitoring random calls to oversee quality of service
Overseeing staff recruitment
Recording performance levels and statistics of the call centre
Coaching and motivating staff to hit those targets
If you think that this type of job could be for you, then here are some of the qualities that you will
Problem solving abilities
Determination and motivation
Great people skills
Leadership capabilities
Good at sales
Entry requirements
Without qualifications
It is possible to become a Call Centre Manager without any academic qualifications however working within a customer service related environment such as an airline or IT help-desk is a must. Many managers without academic qualifications started out lives as call centre operatives and have worked their way up. City and Guilds also offer vocational training courses in the form of NVQ's in call centre management which are between levels 3 and 5 which can be taken in conjunction with 'on the job' training
With qualifications
A good way to get a foothold as a call centre manager is with a degree in either business management, finance and accounting or a language qualification. Then take a post graduate training course such as the Call Centre Management Association Training Programme and this will give you a post graduate certificate that future employers will look for.
What does it pay?
The salary of a call centre manager depends upon a variety of criteria such as seniority, size of the operation and type of call centre. For instance first jobs with any type of managerial responsibilities seem to be at team leader/senior advisor level and salaries can vary between £17,000 through to around £26,000. At manager level salaries can vary widely and can be anywhere between £20,000 and £60,000. Regional Call Centre Managers can be in control of more than one call centre and may have benefits such as a company car and other bonuses that go with a position of this nature.
This is not a career for the faint hearted; the environment is often noisy, fast paced, target driven and you will certainly have to use all of your resources. However, it is an industry which is on the rise and if you get a real buzz out of working within this type of work environment, then for the right person it can lead to a long and satisfying career.

The Mashpee Wampanoag could lose their bingo trump card if the National Indian Gaming Commission adopts proposed regulations regarding video bingo machines.
The Mashpee Wampanoag could lose their bingo trump card if the National Indian Gaming Commission adopts proposed regulations regarding video bingo machines.
New rules proposed last week would create a clear distinction between Class II and Class III gaming, commission spokesman Shawn Pensoneau said Friday. The regulations would limit tribal casinos from passing off video bingo machines — also called bingo slots — as more lucrative slot machines in states where Las Vegas-style casino gaming is illegal, he said.
Bingo falls under the Class II gaming designation; Class III, or casino, gaming includes slot machines and table games. Video bingo machines are almost identical in look to slot machines but players vie against each other rather than the house.
Only Class I and II gambling are legal in Massachusetts. Gov. Deval Patrick, however, filed a bill earlier this month that, if passed, would allow state officials to sell licenses for three commercial casinos. The bill must pass the Legislature, where it faces an uphill battle in the House. The state would also get a percentage of the casino revenues.
On several occasions, Mashpee tribe leaders have said if the state rejects an expansion to Class III gaming, they would pursue a bingo-style casino similar to the ones operated by the Seminole Indians in Florida. Last year, the Seminoles and another tribe made $1.6 billion operating eight casinos featuring so-called "bingo slots." Because Class II gaming is legal in Florida, the tribes do not share gaming revenue with the state.
"The tribe's preference has always been to do what the governor has proposed," tribal council spokesman Scott Ferson said Friday. "The tribe doesn't want to be forced into the position to do a bingo parlor. If that's the only economic development they can pursue, they will."
Traditional slot machines are much more lucrative than bingo slots. The two Connecticut casinos, Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun, brought in $2.4 billion in slots revenues compared with the $1.6 billion in revenues at the eight Florida casinos
Ernie Stevens Jr., chairman of the National Indian Gaming Association, said the proposed rules regarding bingo slots could cost tribes $1 billion annually.
"That's devastating for the Class II industry and hurts rural tribal economies," Stevens said. "The most basic problem is that the new regulations arbitrarily slow down Class II games, making them less fun and less marketable."
Under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988, tribes are required to enter into compacts with states where Class III gambling is allowed. In states where only Class II gaming is allowed, a tribe can open high-stakes bingo halls on the reservation without giving the state a penny.
The commission is accepting comments on the regulations, now published on the Federal Register, through Dec. 10.
In an industry that's booming — tribal gaming took in $25 billion last year — revenue from Class II gaming, including video bingo, grew 90 percent faster than Vegas-style gaming, according to Alan Meister's Indian Gaming Industry Report.
The commission has been attempting to rein in video bingo since 2004, but has faced some fierce opposition from tribes.
Ferson said it's too early to say if the Mashpee tribe would oppose the latest regulations, but said tribe leaders have spoken out against other issues such as a guideline that requires the tribe to build a casino within a 50-mile radius of tribal lands in Mashpee.
"Certainly the tribe would not be shy about commenting on anything that would be seen as restricting its sovereign rights," Ferson said.

The Chicago Blackhawks have been having a really tough time on defense in recent weeks, and things are about to get a bit more difficult for them as it appears Johnny Oduya will miss time with an upper body injury.
The injury, which occurred in the first period of Sunday's loss to the Boston Bruins, was enough to knock him out of the remainder of the game, forcing the Blackhawks to play with five defensemen the rest of the way. As a result, Duncan Keith was forced to play over 27 minutes of ice time, and Michal Rozsival, David Rundblad and Brent Seabrook all played over 20 minutes in the game.
After the game, head coach Joel Quenneville said that Oduya would likely miss a couple of games with the injury.
The Blackhawks are currently carrying eight defensemen on their roster, with Tim Erixon and Kyle Cumiskey each still holding down spots before Trevor van Riemsdyk makes his return in the near future. It's unclear who will take Oduya's spot in the lineup, or what defensive pairings will look like in his absence, but whatever ends up happening, it's one more issue for a group of blue liners that have been struggling to play effectively for Chicago.

Packing can occasionally be the worst component of a trip: spending too much time deciding what to take and then regretting bringing as well much. This is also a location exactly where the whole family members can uncover some thing entertaining to do. If you get bored, island hopping is just a handful of minutes away. Thirdly, Permanent residence status in another nation and perform permits are not valid travel documents as a result, you need to have to get a valid passport. After at Ayutthaya, vacationers can employ bicycles, or use tuk tuks to visit the ruins which are just a few kilometres from the train and bus drop-off points. And even though you're out and about, keep your eyes peeled for 1 of their 10 to 15,000 prostitutes. A side note about buses: there is the selection of getting an all-you-can-ride pass for a month.
Tights – Tights are a need to due to the fact they can be layered below jeans/pants on truly cold days or with skirts on warmer days. Note: There might be train strikes, but quite very uncommon, occurs mainly in Italy. Obtaining been to several countries and I would say 46 so far for now and to 4 continents, this travel virus nevertheless continue to attack me all the time. This is not effectively-known to several traveler and they end up spending lots of cash on airfares. It can be tempting to concentrate backpacking via Europe on a succession of capital cities – but you'd be missing out on a lot. Combining that with monitoring the airlines promotional emails and a bit of luck now and then flying about Europe can be made a bit more affordable.
I am hoping to go on a cruise in the fall with loved ones and this will be a excellent resource when we're ready to book our travel with 4 adults and a preschooler. Hi hello I have Schengen visa when I went to Budapest and I travel to Italy final 2012 and final year of march I travel once again to Italy in Udine so I apply for Italian visa but subsequent year I plan to visit Slovenia and some other countries near to Slovenia. And it got to a point exactly where no a single was willing to lend or help me with funds since i was considerably far more in debts. Hi,i am Philippine citizen, and i am arranging to go in Bosnia and Herzegovina (ex Yugoslavia) part of Europe.
Travel Business has turn out to be the fundamental want of each organization is delivering company visa for those who are interested in operating with folks move about the world for better job with appealing salary so that they can feed themselves as properly as their households. Ive read in a single of Azerbaijan´s immigration blogs that only a handful of countries can travel to Azerbaijan without having a visa and the Philippines is not in the list. Properly, if its about Europe or the Caribbean, I can guide you, but there is a complete globe out there I haven't been to but, so my tour guiding is restricted. Hey I am from the uk and me and my boyfriend are organizing on travelling for six months beginning in Europe. For destinations you'll be extremely central and by the sounds of it you'll have 2 diverse weeks to fill. Then I believed it would be a very good thought to join a Group that was interested in train travel.
In case you just want to travel from one place to one more low cost and quick it is a excellent resolution but maintain in mind that the most stunning sights are these that you learn your self on the ground like paradise beaches with incredible waves or the nature in the Rainforests. Specifically if you are travelling in groups, booking an apartment or a private space is a excellent way to save cash and live like a local.

Where Midtown meets Buckhead you'll find a taste of Thailand's celebrated street food. When DeeDee Niyomkul opened Tuk Tuk Thai Food Loft a few years ago, there were plenty of restaurants in Atlanta serving up Thai food. But they usually served a very specific, and sanitized version of the food she really loved. Thailand has a rich culture of street food. The fresh, quick and filling street food served to the workers and players of Bangkok is a tasty treat that not many in Atlanta have had the pleasure to enjoy.
Situated on the third floor of the Brookwood Plaza, the first thing that will greet you is the namesake; the ubiquitous tuk tuks that fill the streets of Bangkok. The second thing you'll notice is the view. Windows face downtown and at night the light sparkles like your eyes when you finally see the cuisine that Tuk Tuk Thai Food Loft has to offer. Small plates to noodle dishes to perfectly crafted Thai specialties rule the roost. But, don't overlook the beverages. The Thai Tea is almost too pretty to drink…almost.
We suggest ordering several plates and share with the table. The staff will gladly guide you through the unfamiliar dishes. But don't eat too much that you can't have dessert. Shaved ice comes straight from a small cart and is topped with anything from condensed milk to fruity syrups. An exotic little snow cone that will have you grinning like a child.

When Jean-Luc Godard popularized the jump cut in 1959 when he made his breakthrough movie Breathless, it has since become a useful and intriguing editing tool. For those of you who don't know what a jump cut is: (per Wikipedia): "A jump cut is a cut in film editing in which two sequential shots of the same subject are taken from camera positions that vary only slightly. This type of edit causes the subject of the shots to appear to "jump" position in a discontinuous way."
Here are five memorable jump cuts from movies:
The obvious one; the one that made jump cuts famous. It wasn't Godard's intention to include so many jump cuts; it was something that occured to him in the process of editing the film. It enhances the jumpy feel of the movie, a couple-on-the-run thriller and its ingenious defiance of the 30-degree rule is admirable.
2001: A Space Odyssey
This film features quite possibly the best jump cut in any movie. If you know about jump cuts, you'll know of this one. A crazed ape throws a bone in the air. It goes high, and then as it is coming down again Kubrick makes a leap forward of about a million years where the bone seems to turn into a spaceship. An unforgettable moment in an even more unforgettable movie.
Guy Ritchie employs a shitload of jump cuts to make his point in this hilarious British heist movie. As if the dialog wasn't difficult enough to understand, he makes it a visual mess too, but in some strange way it works, and feels appropriate, and that's what counts.
Run Lola Run
Tom Tykwer, in an attempt to enhance the velocity of his main character, employed dozens of jump cuts to make an 80 minute movie just fly by. He also employs several other visual techniques, including animation, but the jump cuts are nonetheless noticeably startling.
The Battleship Potemkin
Sergei Eisenstein's incredibly influential classic, as well as popularising the "montage," also used a fair few jump cuts, which thanks to Georges Melies, were common enough at the time for silent movies, and makes the film look like even more of a mad experiment of beautiful art, especially in a sequence of shots in which a lion statue seems to come to life.
Those are five of my favorite jump cuts. Can you think of any more? Leave a comment below.

6 Things I Learned From My Trip to Vegas
I recently went on a family trip to Las Vegas, Nevada with 14 other relatives. There were quite a few things I learned on the trip.
1. Las Vegas is Really Not for Kids. Prior to Las Vegas, we went to Disney World 2 years ago basically the same group. My Father-in-Law and Sister-in-Law wanted to try Vegas this time. Out of our group of 15, 6 were kids. You can't escape the suggestive marketing like the one below:
We went to a free show at Treasure Island just for the kids in 100 degree weather. We walked through casinos and mobs of people.
When the show started, we watched 1 male sailor get chased and flogged by about a dozen scantily clad female pirates. After one female pirate sang something about "seamen coming into her cove," we decided to move on for the kids' sake. It was quite suggestive for the youngsters.
The pool where we swam was also full of singles and young folks looking to hang out and live the "what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas" dream.
Yet the kids loved the pool and it was a great place to cool off and relax. Just to be fair, the Excalibur also had an indoor amusement center with games similar to ones you might find at a carnival, Chuck E Cheese or Dave and Buster's. They also had an indoor ride. However, many of the games at the Excalibur were broken. The other casinos also had indoor amusement centers and their games appeared to be better maintained and staffed.
When I spoke with friends later, they informed me that Vegas tried the family vacation theme years ago, but they are back into the "what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas" theme now.
You will find families moving through the casinos to get to food or shows and often you have to go through the smokey casino and smokey hotel check-in environment. The hotel residence areas was relatively free of smoke and we had a non-smoking floor. My 4 year old did learn a new word: "gamble." A few days after our trip, I asked her what she wanted to do and she said, "I want to gamble Daddy."
2. The Flight from the East Coast is a Bear. Door to door from the east coast took us about 11-13 hours, including arriving at the airport early, 1 layover, and getting from the airport to the hotel. It was about the same on the way back. On the way there, we gained 3 hours, but lost it on the way back. We left Las Vegas at 12 midnight on Sunday Las Vegas time and arrived back in our house 12 hours later at 2pm on Sunday (12 noon Las Vegas time). The kids held up surprisingly well, but after long hours at work, the travel inhibited my attempt to recharge my batteries. If you want to recharge your batteries, plan a vacation with easy travel and consider putting in an extra day off at home just to "transition."
3. Lodging is Relatively Cheap. We stayed at the Excalibur for only $50 per night which is a hotel and casino. If booking the Excalibur try to get into Tower 2 because Tower 1 is like a throwback to the 70s, complete with the big boxy televisions and the cheesy comforters and bathrooms. Tower 2 has the modern flat screen televisions and modern designs and bath rooms with granite countertops. I would compare Tower 2 in Excalibur to a nice Hilton or Marriot. Tower 1 has a motel feel. Hey, for $50, either tower is great. We were lucky to stay in Tower 2.
4. Bring your Patience with a Big Group. Your group may have different things that they want to do and you may just have to follow along so bring your patience. Also, bring your cell phones to help coordinate the team.
5. Look out for Time Share and Discounts on Show Offers. You will probably encounter several people connected to your hotel who try to sell you discounts on shows. In some cases, they may also try to get you to buy a time share. We did not bite on these offers since we did not plan on going to any shows because we had such a large group. The time share pitches I am told are high pressure and if you get a discount on dinner and a show for going, it may be that day and nearly right after your time share sales pitch. If you turn them down, they will be even less accommodating to you.
6. Set a Budget if you Gamble and Stick to It. In addition to your overall vacation budget, if you plan to gamble, set a limit for this too so that you do not overspend. I set a budget of $75 and promptly lost it playing electronic roulette. While I wanted to spend more to try to win my money back, I stuck to my guns and chalked up my losses to the cost of entertainment.
Conclusion. The kids really loved the trip and all the "extra" stuff happening in Vegas did not seem to bother them one bit. They are happy with a game room, swimming pool, and elevators to ride. So I really didn't need to go far from home to make the kids happy–at least not yet.

It is so difficult to believe that our summer vacation will be history in a matter of days. Hopefully everyone has truly had enough time to regenerate his/her batteries:)
The first day of school, teachers will have lots of excited students who, for the most part, are tired of summer and anxious to see their school friends again. So, with such an enthusiastic crowd, what can teachers do to capitalize on this energy so that they can begin to know their students as people.
Here are some suggestions:
1. Give students a multiple intelligences assessment. Though assessment here is for middle school, it can be used from upper elementary through high school (just white out the grade level). Once student complete the assessment, have the follow the scoring routine. Students are always shocked by this new knowledge about their talents. Then, calm the class down and start taking totals for each group. With this data, the class will generate a graph with labels and numbers. Once that is complete and some discussion has ensued, have them write a paragraph on how this information could be used by a teacher in creating projects for students.
2. Since the students don't know each other, have them interview each other and then report out to the class on what they learned about their new classmate. Students should take notes on the answers their partners provide to use when they share with the class what they learned about their new classmate.
3. Students love social media (especially Facebook) so why not try having them create Facebook pages on themselves? Of course, it would great if the teacher (with document camera) created one for her/himself to address questions along the way. Then have them work on their own either with a partner if it is new for them. Once everyone has finished, teachers can use document cameras to share a few of the student work with the class and then post all of them at the end. Parents will love it for Back-To-School night.
4. Here are 19 other icebreakers for the first day. There is something for every grade level and all are crowd pleasers. My favorite is FOOD FOR THOUGHT. Students introduce themselves by first name and then select a food that starts with the same letter of their first names. Example: Hello, my name is Marsha and I eat mangos. The next student gives his name and favorite food item and then must repeat what the other student said and so forth.
Have fun with students in the first few days. Get to know them and them you.

The tarot is a set of 78 cards called Arcane, which reflects the history of humanity, past, present and future, has many symbols and various forms of studied and interpreted.
And so the Tarot was divided into two parts: the sacred or spiritual are the Major Arcana are 22 and the other party profane is most commonly known as Spanish Shuffle, but it was until the 17th century in Europe were studies very deep and unified the two parties and thus discloses the deck of 78 cards as today it is known.
The Tarot and its application in the arts of divination, not only survived over the centuries, but his fame was rising from the distant Egypt through the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, and reaching the present day, with usual practice in all areas of society, even going to be studied by psychologists at the height of Jung.
This is one of the oldest methods of divination, and as such is a true treasure to decipher a hidden meaning in each of his letters, a meaning that is directly related to states of mind and circumstances related to these states soul, and that goes beyond time and space limits, and describe circumstances ermitiendo both present and past, and future of the client.
