For Faculty Members Holding Appointments in More than One Academic Unit
Ad Hoc Committee on APT Procedures for Joint Appointments
C. Binkley (Chair)
J. Cairns
S. Neuman
19 January 1998
Revised 4 October 2002
Joint appointments (situations where a faculty member holds an academic appointment in more than one department) further the University's academic objectives in many ways, including advancing interdisciplinary scholarly linkages, improving instructional efficiency and fostering collegiality. Such appointments also create special difficulties for individual faculty members as they respond to the demands of more than a single Administrative Head. As a result, the University needs clearly defined procedures for appointment, promotion and tenure decisions associated with joint appointments.
The objective of this document is to lay out the principles for these procedures and some alternative means for meeting them. It is intended as suggested "best practices" and not to supersede well thought out procedures that may currently be in place (the appendix includes statements from various Faculties on specific procedures used).
1. The individual faculty member should have one Department (or Faculty, in the case of non-departmentalized Faculties) designated as primarily responsible for all aspects of the individual's appointment, promotion, tenure and faculty development (called the Home Department below). Ordinarily this will be the Department that holds the majority of the budget supporting the individual's appointment.
2. The faculty member and the collaborating administrative units involved in the joint appointment should have a clear understanding of the APT process that will be used to evaluate the faculty member's performance. Ordinarily this will be accompanied by the Home Department's providing a written account of these procedures to the faculty member at the time of his/her appointment.
3. Each collaborating unit should have an independent opportunity to evaluate the faculty member for the purpose of faculty development and decisions concerning promotion or tenure.
4. Any decisions concerning promotion or tenure should be based on the same record of information.
The APT process typically consists of five steps:
(i) development of the dossier
(ii) consideration by the Departmental Promotion and Tenure Committee
(iii) consideration by the Department Head
(iv) consideration by the Dean who may be advised by a Faculty Promotion and Tenure Committee
(v) consideration by the President with the advice of the Senior Appointments Committee
Each step raises some specific issues for joint appointments.
Development of the dossier.
The guiding principle in this step is that all the units where the faculty member holds an appointment should have an opportunity to participate in the development of the candidate's dossier, especially in gathering information on teaching performance and in the selection of external referees.
Two methods are commonly used. In the first, the Home Department takes responsibility for developing the dossier. The Head (or delegate) confers with the Head of the collaborating department (s) to identify appropriate external referees and to assemble the full record on teaching performance and service.
In the second, the Home Department charges a joint advisory committee with the task of developing the dossier. Ordinarily the composition of the committee reflects the budgetary split of the appointment, but other compositions are possible. For example, each collaborating Department might have one member, and the candidate might select one Department to have a second member to be appointed by either the Head or the Dean. It is desirable to keep the membership of the committee as small as possible while adequately reflecting the joint nature of the appointment.
The Head of the Home Department obtains from the candidate an up-to-date CV. Otherwise the Committee has the responsibility of developing the case for the APT action, including requesting letters from external referees in accordance with University policies, analyzing the scholarly contributions of the candidate and assessing the teaching contributions of the candidate, in all collaborating Departments. With this evidence in hand, the Committee prepares a written report and recommendation. A minority report may be developed in instances where the Committee is not of one mind about any aspect of the case.
Consideration by the Department.
The appointment committee of each collaborating Department considers the case independently, but based on the same dossier. Each Department votes in its usual way.
Consideration by the Department Head.
The Head of each collaborating Department considers the case independently and writes a separate recommendation. The recommendation should be based on the same dossier considered by the Department, and should consider the vote and discussion in the Department.
Consideration by the Dean and Faculty Committee.
The guiding principle here is that all of the collaborating units should have reasonable opportunity to influence the APT decision. Similarly, the candidate should feel that her/his case is appropriately represented.
Two procedures may be used. (1) The Home Department uses the recommendations from the collaborating Departments and Department Heads along with the candidate's dossier to make a recommendation to the President. (2) Each relevant Dean uses the recommendation of the Department and Department Head in his/her Faculty along with the dossier to make a recommendation. The Home Dean forwards these recommendations along with his/her own to the President.
Consideration by the President.
The Senior Appointment Committee considers the case in its usual way. If the case is ranked "B", the Home Dean argues the case but both Deans will attend SAC for the discussions.
Note: The cover page of the SAC documents from the Home Dean must list both Faculties and Department(s).

The NATURELO Full Spectrum Hemp Oil is made from the world's finest hemp plants containing high amounts of medicinal compounds.
The hemp flowers, leaves, and stalks are all CO2 cold extracted to achieve ultimate purity and potency.
We then blend this pure extract with refined MCT oil for optimal absorption.
This full spectrum blend contains all the terpenoids, flavonoids, and other beneficial components of this potent plant.
The NATURELO Hemp Oil is made only from the non-psychoactive compounds of the hemp plant and therefore, has no mind-altering effects.
There is no guarantee of specific results and results may vary.
Additional Information
|1.4" x 1.4" x 4.2"
|Full Spectrum, Organic Hemp Oil 16.7 mg Other Ingredients: Organic MCT Oil, Blueberry Flavor
|2.82 oz
|Shake well before each use. Take 30 drops (2/3 dropper) and hold in mouth under tongue for 60 seconds. Swallow afterward.
|Do not exceed recommended dose. Pregnant or breastfeeding women, children under 18, and individuals with known medical conditions should consult their physician prior to use. Keep out of reach of children. Do not use if the safety seal is missing or broken. Store in a cool, dry place.
|There is no guarantee of specific results and results may vary.
We never ship products with less than 12 months before the expiration date, so your supplements will last a full year at a minimum. The exact expiration date will vary from bottle to bottle, depending on the batch.
Yes. When used as instructed and under the guidance of a healthcare provider, this supplement is entirely safe for both short-term and long-term use.
Hemp and marijuana are two different variations of the Cannabis sativa plant. Both plants are rich in medicinal compounds known as cannabinoids. Only one cannabinoid, THC, has psychoactive effects. While marijuana contains about 15-20% THC, food-grade hemp contains less than .3% THC. So hemp does not have any psychoactive effects, but it does have other medicinal benefits.
The cannabinoids in the hemp plant act on cannabinoid receptors in the body to help relieve stress, tension, discomfort, and worry. They interact with your body's endocannabinoid system, which helps the body self-regulate its stress response, inflammation response, and other systems that are important for maintaining homeostasis.
CBD is one of the most well-known cannabinoids in the hemp plant, and many hemp-derived oils deliver only CBD. But the plant contains many other cannabinoids as well, and research suggests that they may work best in synergy. This is why we offer a full-spectrum hemp oil that includes all the medicinal compounds in the plant, rather than just a CBD isolate.
A full-spectrum hemp oil is derived from the whole plant, including the stems, leaves, and flowers, offering the full spectrum of the plant's medicinal compounds. Hemp seed oil is derived only from the seeds, which are rich in healthy fatty acids and other nutrients, but not very rich in cannabinoids, so it doesn't provide the same medicinal benefits.
The suggested serving size is one full dropper, but you can safely take up to 2 full droppers per day.
It's best to check with your doctor first if you are on medications or under a doctor's care.
MCT oil is an oil made up of medium-chain triglycerides, a type of fatty acid that's more easily absorbed than other fats. Because MCT oil doesn't require a long digestive process, it's more likely to be used for energy rather than stored as body fat. Our MCT oil comes from coconut oil. The MCT oil acts as a "carrier" for the hemp oil and adds a very pleasant flavor that will keep you coming back for more.
Yes, all of our supplements are tested by independent, third-party labs to make sure they are clean and safe before they go to market.
Yes, we offer a 30-day money-back guarantee on all our supplements. If you are not fully satisfied with this product for any reason, you can return it for a full refund.
We're certain you'll love NATURELO and we're here to help. Call or email us and we would be happy to assist you.Read More

Brendan Grace dies at 68
Irish comedian Brendan Grace died this morning at the age of 68.
The Father Ted star passed away peacefully just after midnight, his family say.
The news comes a week after the veteran comedian and singer revealed that he has lung cancer.
In a statement published online, Grace's representatives said: 'It is with deep sadness and regret that we announce the passing of Brendan Grace, Ireland's most beloved entertainer, Liberty Boy and grandmaster of Comedy.

'We have lost a very bright star. May he watch over us always and rest in peace.
'Please feel free to share your stories and memories and help us celebrate the life that Brendan lived to the full and the much joy he has brought to so many over the years.'
Grace received the new that he had lung cancer while receiving hospital treatment for pneumonia.
He has suffered a number of health issues in recent years, having a stroke and contracting diabetes, which made it impossible for him to play guitar on stage. It also led to gangrene and the loss of some of his toes.
Grace got an early break in has career after being spotted performing by Frank Sinatra in Dublin, with the American superstar immediately asking him to support him in London.
He was known for his schoolboy character Bottler and for playing Father Fintan Stack in Father Ted. Last year he was the subject of a documentary on Irish state broadcaster RTE.
As well as his comedy, he had several hit songs including Combine Harvester, which went on to be a hit for The Wurzels and The Dutchman.
Grace is survived by his wife Eileen, whom he married in 1973, four children and their grandchildren. In recent years, he divided his time between Ireland and a home in Florida

My monthly grocery shopping trip at @aldiusa
She does hers and it breaks down to about $64 a week. That's what I was going for but it seems like people eat more in the summer. I was able to do mine for $81 a week, I did splurge on non-essential stuff. In overall I'm pleased that I was even able to pack my fridge with a month worth of food, and I didn't make any extra run to the store.
Now let me tell you about my new fave organic brand, "Simply Nature" I usually would have to make an extra trip to my the organic store to get these stuff. I'm really particular about things like ketchup, mayo, milk because we consume these stuff in great quantity.
My kids put ketchup on everything! and something about organic mayo... it just tastes better. I usually get my mayo from trader joes, so I was a bit skeptical about this new one but it was on point.
I can't believe I have three Aldi near me I have never really shopped there. They have tons of affordable organic whole food!
Fruits and veggie galore! Avocados, mangoes, and pineapple three of my absolute favorite.
I even got Petey's food there and he likes it. Petey is my dog and he is the pickiest dog on the planet! I have a five hundred dollars vet bill to prove it.
So when he eats a new food at first try it means a lot.
On my next trip, I'm aiming for the $64 a week mark. I will let you guys know how it goes!

A New Populism?
Social Democratic America
Barack Obama's fifth State of the Union address received the usual praise from Democrats and many cable news commentators, but the fact is the occasion was rather grim, and his approach in some ways frustrating. With all his talk of raising the minimum wage and other executive actions that would circumvent Congress, he implicitly admitted that progress on Capitol Hill is now all but impossible. At the same time, he couldn't quite bring himself to invite direct confrontation with the Republicans, who control the House and will continue to block most of his programs. The general verdict on MSNBC was that he was successfully positioning himself above the fray. But is that really possible in today's Washington? The city seems all fray, all the time.
When it came to policy, the speech highlighted the set of economic concerns that has risen to the forefront of Democratic politics these last couple of years: "Obama Vows to Act Alone on the Economy," as The New York Times summarized matters the following day. The president spoke of unemployment insurance and similar issues related to the economic struggles of the middle class, emphasizing measures that could be carried out by executive orders. He did not, as many liberals had hoped, speak at length about inequality. Apparently he and his advisers decided that was a bit of a downer for a State of the Union address and chose instead to stress inequality's sunnier flip side of expanding opportunity. But the point was made, perhaps as much by what wasn't in the speech—no pleas for reducing the deficit and cutting entitlements, to name two inside-the-Beltway priorities that liberals loathe and that Obama had previously suggested he favored or would at least consider.
There exists these days, among Washington policy intellectuals and advocates who tilt toward the left end of the accepted political spectrum, a certain measured optimism. It's not about Obama, or any feeling that he might somehow, with his sagging poll numbers, be able to persuade congressional Republicans to fund, say, an infrastructure investment bank. Confidence is appropriately near zero on matters like that. Rather, it's about the widely held perception that the Democratic Party, after years of, in the argot, "moving to the right," is finally soft-shoeing its way leftward, away from economic centrism and toward a populism that the party as a whole has not embraced for years or even decades.
This change has occurred not by way of sweeping dramatic gestures on Obama's or anyone's part, but subtly and incrementally. Obama's contribution to the shift has been mostly rhetorical, but of course presidential rhetoric matters, so when he started addressing such issues as income inequality more directly in his speeches, many observers read into it certain clear policy implications.
"This growing inequality is not just morally wrong, it's bad economics. Because when middle-class families have less to spend, guess what, businesses have fewer consumers," he…

Pastoral Heart Issues
The Church is God's living hope for the world! Christ intends the church to be salt and light, overcoming, victorious, advancing against the gates of hell which cannot prevail against it. The church is a light house for the lost and a beacon of hope for the hurting. It is a voice of conscience to a dark world. I love the church!
Following are some of my definitions of a "successful" pastor.(written in the masculine, understood to be inclusive of female pastors)
• A successful pastor is one whose people remember what he has taught, can repeat it and successfully live it out in their daily lives.
• A successful pastor has people who are proud of their church, unashamed to invite their friends and family.
• A successful pastor loves his wife and kids and his people know it! He inspires others to pattern their marriage and child-rearing after his example.
• A successful pastor is one whose life demonstrates the joy of serving Christ.
• A successful pastor must love God supremely and love and care for people with great affection.
• A successful pastor must exhibit the utmost respect for the Word of God and deliver its message with conviction and clarity while applying its truths to the current challenge of the culture.
• The successful spiritual leader must be an evangelist at heart, and a discipler in mission.
• A successful pastor lives his life as an example of the believer. He preaches and teaches the living Word of God with passion, enthusiasm and joy.
• A successful pastor's people trust him because they can sense his genuine warmth, sincerity and love. The messages he shares are practical to daily life and helpful to those struggling. Week after week the Word of God brings encouragement, hope and new purpose.
• A successful pastor answers the questions in church that people are asking at the office or the factory.
• A successful pastor says, "Follow me as I follow Christ". And then he follows Christ!
In regards to relationships with church leadership and staff, the expectation is one of loving support, mutual respect, consideration and warmth of heart! Love is my strongest motivator and it must permeate all my relationships. Trust is built over time, but love is given unconditionally. I am collegial and team oriented. I believe in Pastoral and prophetic authority, but that does not negate the Word's demand that we live in submission to one another. There must be a clear and common vision in order to prevent division. I believe the gifts and anointings and abilities are already "in the house", and we must recognize and release those gifts. Team work really does make the dream work!
Leadership Style
I have the ability to get things done through a collaborative, collegial team effort. I believe there are gifting and abilities on every team and the most efficient use of those resources brings the best results. Square pegs should only be inserted into square holes.
I believe in careful, prayerful planning and preparation and specific, detailed delegation. Successful events and ministries never simply happen, they are made to happen.
Debriefing is critical. Every event needs to be analyzed to ascertain what worked and what did not, what could be improved and what should be scrapped.
I believe in setting strategic goals which are measurable. Written reports and meetings to evaluate progress are critical. Written job descriptions with clear expectations are necessary.
I operate through encouragement and positive motivation. I believe effort must be applauded, appreciated and affirmed. I believe success must not only be noticed but celebrated.
It is my practice to be highly relational with staff, department leaders and board. A church can be no more effective than its leadership is united with common heart and vision.
Saturating all of this administrative style must be the tangible anointing, the living presence of Christ and a prayerful, joyful attitude in office and church, staff and board meetings.
Pastor Myles Holmes

[Update Aug, 6, 2014]
3.2.14 has been deleted from the website. It doesn't load the hpricot & sqlite3 Shoes gems properly. Sorry.
[End Update]
If you see Shoes 3.2.14 in the download directory that's because it seems to work for Linux (x86_64, i686, armhf) and Windows (32 bit). It's not available for OSX yet but I'll figure that out. Until then 'it's not official'. Because I say so. On OSX, it compiles and links – it just doesn't get copied and passed through the otool/install-name-tool sausage maker.
I updated the source code to be Sqlite 1.3.9 (from 1.3.0) although I did not change the gemspec. It still claims 1.3.0. If that matters to you, you'll know why I didn't bother and how to install a newer sqlite3 if you want one.
Despite my dreams of good intentions about Gem packs or some such completixity addon, I just hacked away at the extconf.rb, in frustration until I remembered that hack I used for binject. I've thought about putting the hack into something that all Shoes exts and gems could just require and it would be less hacky and more abstracty. But who cares? Anyone?
I need to fix the OSX bug with sqlite3. Theres an odd ssh bug with the Mac Mini after I relocated the box on the home network. Those are more important than Ruby purity abstractions and policital correctness. It's only a Maintenence Release.

For the past few weeks we have been spending lots of time at the allotment, enjoying the gorgeous weather and spending time with friends. It's been a bit cold for the past few days so I thought it was about time I posted again!
With the allotment we have been learning as we go and this week we have been looking at making our own compost.
We made a compost bin and discussed how compost is made. I decided to purchase a wormery so the girls could see for themselves at home how worms help the composting process.
We also looked at some really interesting books called Wiggling Worms at Work and Yucky Worms. Both books are very informative but if you're looking for something with a bit more of a story to it then Yucky Worms is probably the better one to get out of the two.
We are very much engrossed in our allotment at the moment and it's so rewarding watching it come together. We're looking forward to it being a relaxing space to spend time in as well as getting to eat our very own grown vegetables!
Do you have an allotment? Or a space outside (or inside) where you grow vegetables? We would love to see them so please feel free to share over on our Facebook page.

The key to eloquence is simplicity. Whether your goals are personal or professional, success comes from simplicity. Having a few goals and focusing on them each day makes a big difference in whether you are able to achieve them.
We may have lots of things to accomplish but only have limited time. With this in mind, we have to keep our goals succinct and to the point. We don't have the resources to accomplish everything so we should try and put our energies into things that have the highest returns.
Let's say you have many goals but can't seem to squeeze in enough effort to get them all done. It is much better to put your energy into a few than waste energy on many. For example, my goals might be career, business, health, and social.
No doubt these are a lot but the hope is to create a well diversified life. In order for me to do these I will narrow them down and seek to combine them as much as possible. Business and social can go together in some activities and I should seek out these activities that shoot two birds with one stone.
Each day you engage in the activities that lead to greater achievement of these goals. Hit the gym in the morning, focus on exceeding expectations and raising awareness in your career, and connect with people at events a couple times a week.
The best advice I can give is get rid of all other distractions and streamline.

31 Gerrard Street
London W1D 6JT
020 7287 2669
We were first introduced to Loon Tao by A's best friend, KK. She told us about this secret dish that is not on the menu, and since then, whenever we go to Loon Tao, we order that without fail.
Loon Tao is just across the road from HSBC along Gerrard Street. Compared to the other restaurants on that street, like Plum Valley and Four Seasons, the shop front is very inconspicuous. The interior is much bigger than it looks from the outside, and the food is much better than first impressions of the shop would give.
The secret dish that is not on the menu is "Hua Dan Shao Ya He Fen", which translates to "smooth egg with roast duck hor fun". It's hard to pinpoint what's so good about this dish. I guess we like the flavor of the flat noodles (though sometimes it tends to be either too salty or too bland – yes, consistency is always an issue in Chinese restaurants, we know), and the egg is nice and smooth. The roast duck is not the best you'll get in Chinatown, but it's not bad at all. The peas in the dish we could do without though.
We always have the Deep Fried Squid with salt and pepper, and the Roast Pork and Char Siew mixed platter. If we have more people with us we will then have as well the Convolvulus (kangkong) done Malaysian Style. The squid dish is something we really like to have in Chinese restaurants, and the one at Loon Tao is adequate to satisfy our cravings – not the best, but adequate. The Roast Pork and Char Siew platter however, is really quite good. The sauce is flavorful yet not too overpowering, and the roast pork is (or rather, has always been, so far,) crispy. Compared to some of the horrors we've had, this really is something. If we have sudden char siew cravings, we'll come over here to Loon Tao to take away. Their Convolvulus is not quite the kind we love in Singapore, but as a substitute, I guess it'll just have to do. We're used to having it with a lot of sambal balachan – can't seem to find any restaurant that serves it that way.
It's hard to stand out as a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown. Even though we really like the food at Loon Tao, we can't say that this is the ultimate best in Chinatown, because it really isn't. In fact, I don't think there is such a thing as a best restaurant in Chinatown. However, on many accounts Loon Tao doesn't fail, which is not what we can say for some of their competitors, and in fact on some of those accounts it does pretty well. What we would really like to see is a Chinese restaurant really giving us all they've got. This might inspire the other restaurants in the area to buck up and improve.
So far, there's just a lackadaisical attitude towards service, and contentment with mediocrity with food that's plaguing restaurants in Chinatown. If not for the fact that we crave for Chinese food, as it's familiar comfort food to us, we probably wouldn't bother going to Chinatown ever (except for the roast duck at Four Seasons, which is indeed the best we've had, but that's another story for another time).

Howdy, "y'all"! Okay it still feels too wrong to use that phrase, despite the fact this will be my second year at the University of Dallas in good ole Texas. Yes, I'm back in the land of heat, papers, books, and college. Despite the difference in climate and surroundings, I find that I'm up to the same things.
Before leaving home, Mary took me on a trail ride at Gabriel and Aurora's place out in the middle of nowhere. Turns out that the middle of nowhere is the best place for wandering about on horses for hours on end. It'd been a few years since I'd been in the saddle, and I was so happy to be back at it, even if just for an afternoon.
I missed riding, so on a late night adventure out in Dallas with my friends, I found a good enough alternative:
This little guy just one of the mustangs of Las Colinas. These sculptures had many signs surrounding them thanking passers-by for not climbing on the statures. I wasn't climbing- I was riding.

When President Obama addressed the nation after the killing of Osama bin Laden in May, some conservative reactions to his rhetoric were all too predictable. On National Review Online, Victor Davis Hanson highlighted the 15 times that Obama used "I," "me" or "my" in the 1,400-word speech, and asserted that "these first-person pronouns . . . reflect a now well-known Obama trait of personalizing the presidency." A few weeks later, when Obama gave a speech at the C.I.A.'s headquarters in Langley, Va., the Drudge Report offered the headline, "I ME MINE: Obama praises C.I.A. for bin Laden raid — while saying 'I' 35 times."
This "well-known Obama trait" has come up again and again in criticisms from the right — George Will has said that Obama is "inordinately fond of the first-person singular pronoun," while Charles Krauthammer has written of the president's "spectacularly promiscuous use of the word 'I.' "
Regrettably, none of these pundits have bothered to look into how Obama might compare with his predecessors. But this kind of comparative word-counting is right up the alley of James W. Pennebaker, a social psychologist at the University of Texas at Austin. Toward the end of his penetrating new book, "The Secret Life of Pronouns: What Our Words Say About Us," Pennebaker crunches the numbers on presidential press conferences since Truman and finds that "Obama has distinguished himself as the lowest I-word user of any of the modern presidents." If anything, Obama has shown a disdain for the first-person singular during his administration.
"Why," Pennebaker wonders, "do very smart people think just the opposite?" He chalks it up the selective way we process information: "If we think that someone is arrogant, our brains will be searching for evidence to confirm our beliefs." If we're predisposed to look for clues that Obama is all about "me me me," then every "me" he utters takes on outsize importance in our impressionistic view of his speechifying.
But even more counterintuitively, Pennebaker argues that Obama isn't somehow being humble or insecure in his low frequency of first-person pronouns; in fact, his language use reveals him to be quite self-confident. Speakers displaying self-assurance have a lower frequency of I-words, even though most people would assume the opposite. So the knock on Obama may indicate that listeners can properly discern his self-confidence (along with what Pennebaker calls his "emotional distance") but then attribute this quality to precisely the wrong details of his speaking.
Little wonder that Pennebaker's "primary rule of word counting" is "Don't trust your instincts." Mere mortals, as opposed to infallible computers, are woefully bad at keeping track of the ebb and flow of words, especially the tiny, stealthy ones that most interest Pennebaker. Those are the "style" or "function" words, which, along with pronouns, include articles, prepositions, auxiliary verbs and conjunctions — all of the connective tissue of language. We're reasonably good at picking up on "content words": nouns, action verbs, adjectives and adverbs. But "function words are almost impossible to hear," Pennebaker warns, "and your stereotypes about how they work may well be wrong." (Quizzes at Pennebaker's Web site allow readers to demonstrate just how wrong we usually get things.)
The under-the-radar sneakiness of function words actually makes them uniquely suited to Pennebaker's wide-ranging research goals, which focus on uncovering traces of our social identity and individual psyche in everyday language use. It also helps that these little words make up a vast majority of the most common words in the language, which means that Pennebaker and his colleagues can collect them in large enough numbers to support statistical analysis of a whole variety of texts, from Twitter posts to despairing poetry.
Pennebaker admits that word-counting programs are "remarkably stupid," unable to recognize irony, sarcasm or even the basic contextual clues that allow us to distinguish which meaning of a word is intended. Yet these "stupid" programs have led to a series of unexpected findings ever since Pennebaker first saw the need for one 20 years ago. At the time, he and his graduate students were working through thousands of diary entries written by people suffering from depression, analyzing how people deal with traumatic moments. Writing about trauma seemed to help some people, but why? To answer the question, his team created a program to read the diary entries automatically and count words related to different psychological states, like anger, sadness and more positive emotions.
Helped by a grad student sleuth named Sherlock Campbell, Pennebaker looked past the content-related terms to discover that a change in the use of function words, particularly pronouns, was the best indicator of improved mental health. Recovery from trauma seemed to require a kind of "perspective switching" — reflecting on problems from different points of view — that shifts in pronoun use could facilitate.
"The Secret Life of Pronouns" outlines in lively and accessible detail how that initial discovery led Pennebaker to appreciate the many ways in which function words reveal our interior lives. He has found strong correlations according to such factors as gender, age and class. For instance, women, younger people and people from lower social classes more frequently use pronouns and auxiliary verbs — words that supposedly signal both lower status and greater social orientation. Lacking power, he argues, requires a deeper engagement with the thoughts of one's fellow humans.
At times, Pennebaker's post-hoc explanations are disappointingly sketchy. Why do men tend to use more articles than women? Because "guys talk about objects and things more than women do . . . the broken carburetor, the wife, and a steak on the grill for dinner." Though he admits that's a "shameless generalization," it carries a whiff of the unscientific "Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus" school of gender stereotyping.
More convincing are cases where Pennebaker and his fellow researchers catch on-the-fly changes in the way people connect with others, from lying to loving. In seeking a bond, people readily accommodate to one another's manner of speaking through "language style matching," getting their function words in sync. When an experience is shared, whether it's building a business relationship, supporting a sports team or commiserating after a tragedy like 9/11, pronouns can mutate, with "I" dropping out in favor of the inclusive "we." But "we" doesn't always indicate solidarity: John Kerry's advisers made that mistake during the 2004 presidential race, Pennebaker says, by trying to get their candidate to use "we" more often. Kerry was already using "we" too much, and to negative effect. "When politicians use them," Pennebaker writes, "we-words sound cold, rigid and emotionally distant."
So would cutting down on we-words have made Kerry more personable to voters? It's not that simple. "My language therapy would have been to try to change his relationship with the audience and the way he was thinking about himself," Pennebaker writes. He compares words to a speedometer: "You can't slow the car by directly affecting the speedometer." Paying closer attention to function words, he advises, can help us understand the social relations that those words reflect. Unfortunately, we might not be able to pay proper attention until we're all equipped with automatic word counters. Until that day, we have Pennebaker as an indefatigable guide to the little words that he boldly calls "keys to the soul."

The Quest for Tidy Continues
I think I neglected to mention here that my Etsy shop will be taking a summer vacation. My sewing machine desperately needs a tune-up and I'm looking forward to spending time with my family, including my husband, Chris, who is finishing up a 2 1/2 month gig at the Old Globe Theatres in San Diego. I'll reopen my shop in July with a (hopefully) re-energized machine and brain.
One thing I'm doing during my hiatus is my on-going quest to tidy my work space. I've seen so many inspiring studios on other blogs, including Jenn Maruska's recent studio updates, that I've been anxious to get mine in order. And yesterday, I got a terrific book, "Creating Your Perfect Quilting Space" by Lois Hallock from the library.
It is filled chock-a-block with ideas but one really stood out: "Keep all thread, machine feet, pins, and scissors nearby." By "nearby" she means within 16 inches when you are seated and I had my supplies strewn across my long sewing table. So last night, in a fit of mad organizing, I cleaned out the top drawer of a filing cabinet I use as a cutting station and filled it with my bag making supplies. Here's the result:
I love this little area with my snap whackers (I use a quarter for an anvil since I think my original anvil ended up in a wristlet I sent to Michigan), wallet innards, marking tools, extra machine needles and my glassbeach labels by RohmCustom. On the right is a lovely bowl made of wire from Africa that my dear mother-in-law gave me years ago.
I'm seriously crushing over my new drawer. I'm very pleased with the improvements I've made in my studio so far. I haven't made anything prettier, yet, but I've made some things tidier!
ps. I posted the first pic on flickr with some more notes.

I was hoping for a little assistance from you guys to see if we can figure it out. No worries....I've yanked the USB Hub from the ICA4+ USB Host port and just plugged into my MacBook direct.

View photos of the event
On Friday, November 1, 2013 ErinoakKids Centre for Treatment and Development hosted an event to celebrate the achievements and determination of the children and youth we serve. The event took place at the Living Arts Centre in Mississauga at which we honoured three outstanding young people who exemplify what it means to be an "ErinoakKid". In addition, we honoured one Corporate Ambassador for their ongoing support of the centre.
In the months prior to the event, the ErinoakKids staff submitted nominations for the Pride & Joy awards. The selection committee then had the difficult task of selecting four honourees to be recognized at the event. The recipients represent the challenges, successes and dreams of all ErinoakKids clients and former clients.
The evening began with an elegant cocktail reception, which provided guests with the opportunity to meet and mingle while enjoying delicious hors d'oeuvres.
After enjoying dinner, guests had the opportunity to hear the stories of this year's award winners, told through moving video tributes. Everyone in attendance was inspired by the accomplishments and abilities of children and youth who currently receive or have previously received treatment at ErinoakKids, as well as the dedication and commitment of their families.
At the end of the evening the 180 event attendees were provided with a gift pack from Longo's which included olive oil, balsamic vinegar, an environment friendly shopping bag and packages of Taralli.
All in all, the 2013 Pride & Joy Awards event was a great success. We are now planning for a bigger and even better event set for late October 2014!
The recipients of the 2013 Pride & Joy Awards were:

David Nicolai, former director of the Pardee Home Museum in Oakland, California, now living as an ex-pat teaching English in China, recently came to visit. We took full opportunity of historical sites in the area and "geeked out historically." We visited three sites in two days: the first was the governor's mansion in Sacramento, now a museum and no longer a residence.
Governor George Pardee (1903-07) was the first to use this as a gubernatorial residence; it was initially built for another family. Of course, we were interested in this house given our interest in George! He brought his wife and four girls in from Oakland and installed them in the three-story mansion.
Over the years, time has taken a toll on the building despite its still-stellar exterior. You can only visit the first two floors, although the third is due to open soon from water-damage reconstruction. We toured the building with the belief it was to close on July 1; our tour guide reassured us that the museum had been given a temporary stay of execution, operating with reduced hours. Yay!

So there is a Tim Burton "media" exhibit. I use the word media because there are a few types of visuals on display. First are gates to the Art museum. They do look pretty cool.
Then you have the dressing up of the ticket box oh the outside. A nice touch I think.
Of course the entrance is all dressed up outside too.
Once inside, there is a giant inflatable character plus at work all around.
We were told no pictures of anything inside the exhibit halls. This time I decided to go with that. I can tell you that besides numerous drawing, napkin scribbles, paintings, there were also video displays. The videos ranged from short small screens to full-scale movies, although, none of the Hollywood stuff of course. That would be breaking some short Intellectual Property violation or least cost way more than it would be worth. Still, our was nice to see the artwork. The early writings of his ideas for movies, and even a rejection letter from Walt Disney Co on one of his submitted children's books from his early beginnings. Rather amusing that he ended up working for them years later.
It was worth the trip and 12,000 won.

Former Orioles star pitcher, Cy Young Award winner, executive and broadcaster Mike Flanagan committed suicide yesterday.
One reason being presented for the act is that he was despondent over the state of the club for which he dedicated most of his professional life, the Baltimore Orioles. The TV station that reported this somewhat unbelievable line of reasoning—WBAL-TV—is backtracking while "supporting" the reporter, Gerry Sandusky.
There was no note and police are saying it was "financial difficulties" that led to this. The police had interviewed Flanagan's widow to come to this conclusion.
Who did Sandusky speak to?
Multiple unnamed sources.
If Mike Flanagan's personal problems caused his suicide—whether they were real or imagined—and it turns into an indictment of the baseball ownership of Peter Angelos or stuff the media and nameless, faceless people are saying about Flanagan's work in the Orioles' front office, then it's a despicable attempt to pin a sad event on a reviled owner.
Saying that Angelos's stewardship of the Orioles led to this is akin to saying that Gabe Paul's death in 1998—at age 88—was caused by the stress of working for George Steinbrenner.
In other words there's no direct connection between the two and making one with speculation and rumor is not only ludicrous, but it's vile.
Angelos is the owner of a baseball team; his team has been poorly run and dysfunctional for the past 15 years. Flanagan worked for them for much of that time. Equating one with the other by implying friends said that was the reason is idiotic.
Those overreacting to the prospect of Flanagan having killed himself because of a perception that he ruined the Orioles clearly don't understand what small things can go through a suicidal, depressed, mentally ill person to drive them over the edge. It could've been anything. He should've asked for help and if the philanthropically minded Angelos knew that things were heading to this point with Flanagan, he absolutely would've helped him.
But partisan voices are trying to sully Angelos because he's run a baseball team badly. This selfish storytelling is making a terrible situation worse and it has to stop. Now.

UN General Assembly OKs digital privacy resolution
UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The U.N. General Assembly has approved a resolution demanding better digital privacy protections for people around the world, another response to Edward Snowden's revelations about U.S. government spying.
Thursday's resolution, approved by consensus and drafted by Germany and Brazil, is nonbinding but reflects continuing alarm at the extent of surveillance revealed by the former U.S. National Security Agency contractor last year.
Sixty-five countries had co-sponsored this year's resolution, up by 10 from last year.
The latest resolution also emphasizes the role of the private sector in digital surveillance.
Germany's ambassador has called for the U.N. to create a special investigator post on the issue, warning that "without necessary checks, we risk turning into Orwellian states where every step by every citizen is monitored."

Veteran running back Jerome Messam signs with Saskatchewan Roughriders
REGINA — The Saskatchewan Roughriders signed running back Jerome Messam on Wednesday and added defensive back Ciante Evans to their practice roster.
The six-foot-three 245-pound Messam is a four-year CFL veteran. The 29-year-old Toronto native had 565 rushing yards on 121 carries last season with the Montreal Alouettes.
Messam had an all-star season with the Edmonton Eskimos in 2011. He rushed for 1,057 yards and was named the CFL's Most Outstanding Canadian.
In 59 career regular-season games with B.C., Edmonton and Montreal, Messam has 1,882 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns on 381 carries while adding 698 receiving yards on 71 catches.
Evans, 21, joined the Riders after spending four seasons with the University of Nebraska Cornhuskers.

New solutions emerging to control hospital costs
Mindful of the growing popularity in name-your-own-price tools, benefit industry leaders and innovators are applying this approach to shopping for costly hospital services. They're also wresting control of an opaque system and slashing prices at a time when self-funded health plans increasingly demand transparency. The movement is sure to catch the eye of brokers and advisers looking to help clients keep costs in check.
Although it's been around for years, reference-based pricing has evolved from a pharmaceutical cost-control mechanism initially used overseas. It now can save self-insured employers 25% or more on their overall hospital spending, one expert suggests.
In a nutshell, the purpose of RBP is to settle or prevent balance-billing disputes involving huge unpaid hospital bills where the amount equals the difference between health plan reimbursement and provider charges.
A newer solution is relative pricing. It seeks to eliminate hidden or arbitrary fees by driving an algorithm that ranks more than 120 surgery procedures at more than 2,800 hospitals. Key metrics include quality, distance and price. Unlike RBP, which is determined by the health plan, this method is based on the average reimbursement in a particular locality.
Rob Pariseau, executive vice president and employee benefit practice leader at Lykes Insurance, describes the RBP concept as still in its infancy in the U.S. "I talk to stop-loss underwriters, and they say they're just not seeing it," he says, noting the need for more outrage over the way many hospitals charge for their services. Those long-time practices have been roundly criticized for hiding fees in fine print or varying widely from one facility to the next.
Also see: "7 key provisions of the Republican ACA replacement bill."
Although fear has been expressed about employees who agree to RBP arrangements encountering credit problems stemming from unpaid balances, Pariseau explains that hospitals can't by law report patients to a credit bureau. "There's really no obligation to pay an unreasonable charge just because you signed that patient responsibility form," he says.
RBP involves a negotiation with the help of an attorney. While a hospital might never agree to a rate of Medicare plus 20% prospectively, Pariseau says they could settle for it retroactively under RBP. "I think that the burden ought to be on the hospital for asking 10 times what they accept from Medicare every day," he says. Conversely, the method can be used to head off balance-billing disputes by agreeing to an upfront price before services are actually rendered.
Turning the shopping process on its head
While most industry initiatives focus on price transparency, "they forgot the consumerism" aspect, says Tibi Zohar, co-founder and CEO of DoctorGlobe, which bills itself as the first online U.S. domestic hospital-shopping platform. His partner, Yori Landau, with whom he co-founded the company, did quite a bit of work for Orbitz before it sold to Expedia. Together, they seek to lower average prices across various markets by exposing hospitals that over-charge for their services.
In describing the premise of relative pricing, Zohar says "you can't forecast what they're going to charge. Even if you understand the network and have past data about claims, you still don't know the future and how it will end up because every reimbursement is different."
Tackling healthcare costs without also seeking to improve employee engagement and consumerism essentially rings hollow, he says. To help elevate the latter, his firm emphasizes the importance of "tempting rewards" that motivate meaningful changes in behavior. They can include anything from no out-of-pocket costs to bonuses tied to a percentage of savings generated by lower hospital costs.
Relative pricing mitigates the high cost of care by turning the shopping process on its head. Instead of following a surgeon's recommendation per se, Zohar explains "we're trying to first find a hospital that makes sense, and then either find the same surgeon or another one who's even better in the new hospital. That's because price is not determined by the surgeon, it is determined for those inpatient surgeries by the hospital."
Zohar, a former financial-services professional on the pension side, describes brokers as his company's No. 1 intermediary with whom to interact when promoting the relative-pricing method. His belief is that producers are much more nimble than, say, third-party administrators and should be "compensated very handsomely" and done so "in perpetuity" for these strategic consultations on behalf of employer clients.

Among the activities that Po Delta Tourism organises there are also opportunities to explore ways to catch the bounty that the sea and river waters provide in these areas.
In the Comacchio Lagoons you can be part of the crew on board the so-called "batane" – traditional long, thin lagoon boats – to search for the treasures hidden in the fishing nets, such as eels, sea breams, soles, and lagoon shrimps.
At Sacca di Goro, expert fishermen are available to teach you how to collect clams using the traditional "rasca". Wearing waterproof clothing, you can scour the waters of our clam farms and collect as much shellfish from the bottom as you like.
We recommend a visit to the local treatment plant which handles the cleaning, checking, processing, and sale of fresh clams.
Check out our offers and buy your ticket directly!

Registry Office, Fitzroy Gardens, Docklands & Port Melb
Kim and Jamie were married in a mid week wedding at the Registry Office next to the City Museum in Spring Street in the City. After a casual yet emotional ceremony, we sauntered down through the Treasury Gardens, along with family and friends to set up for some formal family portraits, outside the Conservatorium in the Fitzroy Gardens. The Conservatorium was unfortunately closed as a new display was being set up. However, we took all the family portraits and from there, the three of us wandered around the gardens through the boundless photo opportunities that present themselves.
There is a spectacular row of ancient elm trees there with a rustic gravel pathway between that I can never pass by, given the opportunity. Late winter flowers were also blooming, with the feel of spring just around the corner. After about forty minutes, we decided to move on. Luckily, I had parked my car close by, so we hopped in and drove down to Docklands for some more shots. It was getting late in the day and with the sun getting low in the sky, Docklands allows great vistas of the city skyline, with the sun in a flattering position for a combination of portraiture and landscape photography – often called illustrative photography.
I love Docklands in the afternoon, with the water, boats, architecture and cityscape. During the week it is relatively quiet, so we had the place pretty much to ourselves. I have to give a plug to the guy that runs the Gelati shop on the causeway called Limonettis. I was parched and stopped in for a drink. Upon seeing the newlyweds, he promptly made a delicious triple decker gelati for Kim and Jamie, so I had a moral obligation to shoot them outside his shop. The chill in the air was multiplying, so we headed back to the open fire at their reception venue – Waterfront in Port Melbourne, next to the Spirit of Tasmania ferry terminal.
Waterfront has a great contemporary feel and we got some lovely candid shots under dusk and candlelight before the guests arrived for an intimate wedding dinner – and my eventual departure. Kim and Jamie were the ultimate wedding couple… relaxed, confident and happy. We had a lovely day together. I have uploaded some of my favourite shots during the three hours we spent together.

- Campaigning for the introduction of Electronic buses on new fast, and frequent routes around Melbourne and Victoria that connect people to places they need to go.
- Our Fairer Fines campaign campaigning around $75 on the spot penalty fares, treatment of passengers by Authorised officers and the Department of Transport.
- Campaigning for the rail freight links to the Port of Melbourne which could move 3500 trucks out of the inner city road network per day within a year if built.
- Looking at ways to ensure best public transport outcomes for level crossing removal program
- Looking to build a fundraising team to build our resources to grow these campaigns.
Whilst the Andrews Labor government has announced a number of new initiatives we need to continue to push them to build a world class PT network in Melbourne.
At the briefing we will be talking to people more about these campaigns and discuss how you can get involved and support the campaign, be it locally in your community or directly through the PTUA/ PTNT office.

MIAMI — A husband and wife and their company were sentenced on Friday for conspiring to smuggle goods into the United States, following an investigation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Anneri Izurieta, 46, was sentenced to 30 months in prison, to be followed by an additional 10 months imprisonment because she committed some of the smuggling while on probation from a conviction for similar offenses. Her husband Yuri Izurieta, 41, was sentenced to 27 months in prison, and the couple's company, Naver Trading Corp., was sentenced to two years of probation.
According to the allegations in the indictment, Anneri was the president and director of Naver Trading, which is a licensed importer engaged in the importation and sale of dairy products.
Over several years, the Izurietas and Naver Trading repeatedly imported shipments of dairy products into the United States. These dairy products were released from the port into the custody of the Izurietas and Naver Trading, but the defendants were not authorized to sell and distribute the dairy products.
The indictment alleged that the defendants knew that the FDA was concerned that Naver Trading's dairy products were potentially contaminated with harmful bacteria. The indictment also alleged that, in some instances, the defendants actually knew that the dairy products were in fact contaminated. Nonetheless, the defendants allegedly failed to return the merchandise for destruction as required and, on some occasions, even sold and distributed their dairy products.

ADTEC has many emergency services clients including rural fire services, metro fire services and branches of the SES. These clients are often at the forefront of emergencies and disasters. They need a reliable communications system that can address the complexity of the situation at hand.
ADTEC's Critical Conferencing services can be used to manage the response to such disasters and also to provide updated information to the public during those disasters.
Scenario One
A large city is struck by a severe wind storm and all emergency services have received hundreds of calls. The power is out causing traffic chaos. Extra personnel need to be called up to different areas of the city. You make a phone call to ADTEC's Alert Messaging service. You select the required menu option and a pre-recorded message which is then sent out to the required personnel in the required areas. Personnel receive the message immediately and their response is recorded. Almost immediately you know how many emergency workers are available and in transit to their designated response area.
Scenario Two
A cyclone is about to cross the coast and its path of destruction is unpredictable. The public and all emergency services need to be kept up to date. A dial-in Alert Notifier makes information accessible, relevant and up to date. Information to all areas can be updated regularly and accessed through menus and submenus. The whole population is aware of evacuation orders, local weather forecast, the availability of essential services, emergency numbers to call and the location of evacuation centres.
Scenario Three
Its bushfire season and several fires are burning over a large area. There are 15 teams of fire-fighters engaged in different areas with 5 other teams on call. The weather bureau has indicated that the wind is about to change and the Operation supervisor needs to contact all team leaders engaged in each fire. He is on the road far from a landline or a computer. With one phone call he activates the ADTEC Alert Conferencing service and within a minute all team leaders from the first fire are talking strategies. He then brings in the team leaders from the second fire and does the same. In a short amount of time all are aware of the situation and how to deal with it most effectively.
The result is that all team leaders are informed, the best decisions are made and it is done quickly and easily.

While we get emails all day long about new product announcements, the majority of them are for cases designed for the iPhone or other iDevices. Like by a longshot. Occasionally a clever or useful design will come along, but most of the time our eyes will just glaze over at the monotony of seeing the same thing again and again. But every once in a while there's a rare gem that gets us really excited, or leaves us scratching our heads. The iBlackBoard, which is thankfully just a design concept by KALOMIX LIMITED, falls into that latter category.
Now I can see the benefit of being able to quickly jot down notes without even having to unlock the iPhone, or even being able to sketch your own custom case design, but with chalk?! Really? Not only does it mean you have to carry a piece of chalk around, but that dust is going to inevitably find it's way inside every nook and cranny of your phone. And when that happens please let me know because I'd like to be there the day you try and explain your situation to the Genius at the Apple Store.

Find: Where to buy Coffee Beans in Singapore (or any where in the world)
Tucked in a little corner on level 2 of Orchard Gateway, isolated from the other shops, Criollo Cocoa Café is slightly hard to find and one might not even know that it exists.
From the outside, Criollo Cocoa Café looks pretty typical, just like any other normal café but on the inside, it actually provides a very nice setting for some quiet/down time amidst busy Orchard Road.
Shopaholics do take note! Good place to rest your tired feet and have a drink or some desserts after all the heavy shopping! It will be great if they can add some couches or sofas near the glass full-length windows. The best tables for me are along the windows as I get to people-watch at the same time.
The café does not provide a wide variety of cakes though. At the time I was there, they only have three types of cakes so I didn't have much of a choice. I ordered their Oreo cheesecake.
The Oreo cheesecake tasted pretty normal, much like what you will get outside at a bakery. The only noteworthy thing of their Oreo cheesecake was that the crust is quite crispy. I have a feeling their cakes are outsourced (forgot to ask), so I will try their cooked food on my next visit.
Criollo Cocoa Café Information:
Orchard Gateway, 277 Orchard Road #02-01 Singapore 238858 (Somerset MRT)
Opening Hours: 11am – 10pm (Mon-Sat), 10am – 10pm (Sun, PH)Have you been to Criollo Cocoa Cafe in Orchard Gateway too? We love to hear your experience of this or even other cafes.

Friday, November 23, 2007
John F. Cutrer, 57, of Shell Knob, passed away on Tuesday, Nov. 13, 2007, at his home in Shell Knob.
He was born on Nov. 3, 1950, in Santa Monica, Calif., the son of Amilo and Anne (McGill) Cutrer. Survivors include: one daughter, Rosalee Cutrer, and one grandson, both of Scotts Valley, Calif.
No services are planned. Arrangements were under the direction of White Funeral Home, Cassville.
