Beat a cop, lose your identity
Police circular states those involved in bodily offences on cops will lose driving licence, passport and employment exchange number; legal experts, social activists slam diktat
Call it the Dhoble effect or overzealousness on the part of the police top brass, but a circular issued yesterday states that all those who assault police officials will be subjected to an extreme form of punishment.
The circular issued by the Commissioner of Police Dr Satyapal Singh states that those involved in crimes against men in khaki would be subjected to cancellation of driving licence, passport, employment exchange number and a lookout notice would be issued against them under the Maharashtra Prevention of Dangerous Activities (MPDA) Act. In addition, the police would be approaching the employer of the accused, asking him or her to blacklist the accused. The circular also states that licence of those possessing arms would be cancelled.
The circular, which was issued yesterday, is said to be a Diwali gift from the police top brass to his men and was issued in the wake of the riot at Azad Maidan on August 11, wherein the protesters who had gathered to condemn Assam violence turned violent and attacked on-duty policemen.
The circular reads: "From now onwards, every police station will make a different crime sheet of accused who assault policemen. The deputy commissioner of the zone will write to the passport department asking them that police have objection to the passport of the said accused who have assaulted a policeman and that person's passport should be cancelled. The cops will also write to the employment exchange to cancel the registration of the accused. All the international airports will be informed about such accused and if the person manages to get a passport and leave the country, a lookout notice under MPDA will be issued in that person's name. Firearm licence of the said accused will also be cancelled. The police will also write to the RTO, asking them to cancel the accused's driving licence. Also, employer of the accused will be asked to blacklist the employee."
The circular stated the decision was taken citing the growing incidents of violence against policemen and attacking them was like attacking the government and the law.
Legal experts claim that police cannot legislate or re-write the law through a circular and feel corrupt officials would exploit the new diktat for vested interests.
Criminal lawyer Pradeep Havnur said, "It appears the circular amounts to contempt of court. There is a Supreme Court ruling that states that only passport authorities can impound the passport. Besides, there is already a section under the Indian Penal Code (IPC) for punishing a person who assaults a public servant. The police cannot legislate or re-write the law through a circular. A circular is only intended as a 'how-to' in implementing the law and nothing more."
Advocate Mohsain Shirazi echoed Havnur's sentiments. Shirazi said, "India is a country in which the rule of law prevails. Anybody who commits an offence can only be given maximum punishment prescribed by the law — after giving him a hearing."
Social activists said chances of cops exploiting Singh's diktat were extremely high. They said traffic cops would file false cases against those who argue with them.
"If the police department writes to the RTO, its officials will surely cancel your licence. On several occasions, cops book people just for arguing with them," said Sachin Khirsagar, a resident of Bhoiwada.
The other side
"The circular has been issued considering the rising number of incidents wherein policemen have been assaulted. This will force people to not commit such offences," said Nisar Tamboli, police spokesperson and DCP (Zone II).

It's a beautiful Saturday afternoon in Deep Ellum. Groups of friends are gathered at the Anvil Pub, where brunch cocktails with ridiculous garnishes are considered prerequisite weekend libations. A line of hungry looking diners stretches out the door at Pecan Lodge. And then there is Café Salsera. It's the new kid on the block and it shows.
At noon, Salsera's cavernous interior — the place is probably four or five times bigger than your average Deep Ellum retail space — is empty. Despite billing itself as more of a late-night spot to grab a cocktail, a Cuban and maybe cut a rug, Café Salsera opens at 7 a.m. on weekdays and 10 a.m. on weekends to serve coffee and pastries. On Saturday and Sunday, "brunch service" runs from noon until four. Please note the strategic use of quotation marks in the preceding sentence, as they hint at the fact that Salsera's brunch is as wanting of dishes — there are four — and a professional staff as the restaurant is of daytime customers.
Some place top priority on the service they receive at restaurants. I am not one of those people. To me, hospitality has wiggle room: The better the food is, the less I care how professional the servers are. If the food is good and so are the staff, more's the better. So when the waitress' greeting consisted of "I got two hours of sleep last night" I tucked in and hoped that the food/service relationship was inverse.
It wasn't.
Even the iced coffee was bad. Iced coffee! As in, you make coffee and then you put ice in it. Café Salsera's bar, with its shiny, Italian espresso maker, appears fully equipped to turn out caffeinated beverages of superior quality. And yet, the consensus at our table was that the iced coffee was made from instant coffee. If it wasn't, something must have crawled into whatever contraption was used for brewing and died. Our waitress said nothing regarding the fact that the coffee sat on the table, melting and untouched. It is experiences like these that drive consumers into the corporate, sterilized and reliable hands of Starbucks.
Then there were the chilaquiles. "Here are the nachos," said our server upon delivering the plate of food that did, in fact, appear to be nachos. Confused, I surveyed my surroundings. Had I somehow fallen into an alternate dimension where chilaquiles morph into bowling-alley snack food? A query about the identity of the dish before us was lost on both the server and the waitress, neither of whom knew what chilaquiles were or how they differ from nachos. This is an understandable gap in knowledge, as being able to identify and describe food that is listed on the menu of the restaurant where one works is beyond the wheelhouse of wait staff. The waitress did seem eager to learn, however, and so I acquiesced when she asked what chilaquiles were. Satisfied, she departed by expressing her hope that our table enjoyed whatever it was that we had ordered.

The nachos were tasty in that stoner food kind of way. Café Salsera somehow managed to perfectly capture the essence of Taco Bell ground beef and distributed this essence across dry tortilla chips along with some cheese, shredded pork, lettuce, pico de gallo and fried eggs. Had they been billed as nachos from the get-go, and had they cost $7 instead of $13, they would have garnered an apathetic thumb of approval. Being the Armani label tacked onto the Target dress that they were, however, they get passionately hostile thumbs down.
The banana bread French toast ($13) fared better than the chilaquilesnachos. For one thing, they were delivered as advertised. Four pieces of banana bread, dipped in egg custard and pan-fried, served with candied bacon. The French toast aspect was somewhat lost on the banana bread, as it failed to add any depth of flavor or texture. And while the concept was better than the execution, the banana bread was enjoyable and had a pleasant, authentic banana flavor.
During my visit, one other couple darkened the door. They got coffee. What I got was that particular brand of regret which can only be acquired through spending money on food that can be had elsewhere for less and for higher quality. Dallas is a big place with lots of good brunch options: Café Salsera, unfortunately, is not one of them.

iTV Con Questioning whether Apple TV has what it takes to bring internet television to mainstream consumers, chip-maker AMD continues to call for a less-fascist internet-to-television setup based on the good ol' personal computer. As the company points out, this "Active TV" initiative is part of a shameless scheme to sell more chips.
"Can internet TV move beyond 'best effort service' into mainstream consumer platform?" AMD's Graham Kinahan asked at today's iTV conference in San Jose. "Yes, it can. Thanks to something that we call Active TV - a way of using the PC to format video and deliver it to the television."
As you might have guessed from his unfortunate use of "best effort service", Kinahan is an AMD senior product marketing manager.
Active TV is not a product or a platform. It's an AMD-led marketing effort, also backed by web video services, hardware manufacturers, and middleware makers. But there's something to be said for it.
As Kinahan points out, the AppleTV set-top box is a pretty slick means of shuttling video from the web to your TV. But in typical Apple fashion, it's a closed platform with a high-price tag. It only works with Apple's iTunes media download service and a doctored verion of the Google-owned YouTube, and it sells for between $299 and $399.
"Apple TV has done a great job is bridging this gap [between the web and the TV]," Kinahan said. "But is it enough to sell volume? AppleTV is a walled-garden platform. It's not sufficiently open to enable all the people out there who want to create video content on the web." Kinahan envisions a world where the typical TV user has access to internet-generated "Estonian folk dancing" and "Canadian curling" channels.
He's also down on the AppleTV price tag. "There's no competitor," he said. "So there's no reason for them to lower the price."
AMD prefers a world where ordinary PCs are used to shuttle video onto TV sets - a more open setup that lets users tap into whatever software and services they like. "People want access to infinite options," Kinahan said. "The best way to do that is to let the PC handle everything behind the scenes."
In the long term, the company sees TV sets connecting directly to existing PCs, thanks to embedded thin clients and network jacks. But in the short term, it's trumpeting low-cost intermediates like the D-Link DSM-520, a wireless HD media player that sells for $180 - "almost half as much as AppleTV", as Kinahan says.
AMD is also promoting a project from BroadQ that will allow users to connect their PCs and televisions via their existing PlayStation 2 gaming consoles.
The question is whether this set-up will be anywhere near as easy to use as Apple TV. Kinahan predicted a PC-driven internet television setup that even "soccer moms" could set up and use, but I wouldn't hold your breath.
The company's motivation for pushing PC-based internet TV is obvious. "In order for people to go out and buy PCs - and processors - you've got to have a workload that's worthy of that. Productivity apps are not enough. You've got to have something like internet video." ®

From the Overlay::add3D documentation: "Overlays are rendered with depth checking off". However, I've found this to not be the case.
I'm currently using 15.1, and I have an entity I display with my overlay. I place this entity quite far into the scene in 3D, just as a temporary hack to get it the right size.
Changing depth_check to off in the entity material fixes this.

Revolutionizing plant growth to feed the masses
Six years ago, then-16-year-old high school student Sanjay Rajpoot was channel surfing at his parents' home in Santa Barbara, Calif., when a documentary caught his attention. It was about hydroponics — the practice of growing plants in water without soil.
After watching for a few minutes, he was hooked.
"The program showed rooftop gardens in Singapore where you could farm with 90 percent or more less water, allowing people to get 10 times the yield of surface area land compared to soil," said Rajpoot, now a senior majoring in physics at the USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences and chemical engineering and nanotechnology at the USC Viterbi School of Engineering.
"It meant you could grow more food with less," he added. "It just seemed better for everyone, and I wondered why this growing method wasn't prevalent everywhere."
That moment of curiosity turned out to be life-changing for Rajpoot, now launching Sustainable MicroFarms, a new company aiming to revolutionize farming worldwide by taking hydroponics mainstream. Rajpoot's goal: helping to solve the food crisis in underdeveloped nations by making the alternative farming method affordable, easy and accessible.
As a teenager, Rajpoot did not need TV to tell him about hunger. He had already seen it firsthand while accompanying his parents on humanitarian missions to India.
When Rajpoot arrived at USC, he originally studied business and physics with the intention of starting a hedge fund or working in investment banking. But he changed gears.
"I quickly realized that, given my background, the world of high finance probably wasn't my calling in life and that I would rather do something good."
Rajpoot's father is a medical professor from Indore and his mother, originally from New Delhi, teaches medical technology.
"Growing up there was always an unspoken rule that if you are going to do a job, you need to be helping other people," Rajpoot said. "Every time I've gone to India I have seen people struggling to get enough to eat. That gave me very strong motivation."
Remembering that hydroponics documentary he watched as a teen, he began studying environmental science under Myrna Jacobson Meyers, assistant research professor of biological sciences at USC Dornsife and a hydroponics expert.
"I gradually understood that the reason hydroponics is not more widespread is because it's difficult to understand and execute. It's also expensive," he said. "I set out to start a business that would solve those problems so hydroponics could become more prevalent in the farming industry, thereby providing a greater benefit to people everywhere, particularly in places like India, China and Africa that lack infrastructure."
So Rajpoot switched majors. He believes he must be the first person ever to graduate with degrees in physics, chemical engineering and nanotechnology. During his studies, he developed the Genesis Controller, a device he described as "an out-of-the-box solution to farming with hydroponics or aeroponics."
Equipped with sensors to measure electrical conductivity and pH, the machine, which retails at $750, automatically ensures that optimal levels of nutrients are delivered to plants, improving output by 10 to 30 times.
"You no longer need prior knowledge of chemistry or horticultural science to use this farming technique because the controller is intuitive, and it's preprogrammed to automatically do all the things you have to do while farming," said Rajpoot, noting that hydroponics can be used to grow almost anything, even trees.
He believes the device will bring hydroponics to the masses, introducing the alternative growing method to backyard farmers in America and providing a more efficient way of growing fruits and vegetables in countries where huge populations suffer from malnutrition.
Rajpoot also has his eye on the commercial agriculture industry in the United States.
"We have already raised $160,000 and are currently seeking additional funding to ramp up our engineering and apply our findings to developmental business and technology," he said. "This is an emerging market and we want to scale up our solution so we can control its expansion into commercial agriculture where it has enormous potential to take over most of the industry and convert it to sustainable hydroponic or aeroponic farming."
Rajpoot said the Genesis Controller represents a breakthrough.
"Although there have been similar products in the past, they were never made to be intuitive, easy to use or affordable."
Rajpoot was drawn to study at USC because of its excellent reputation.
"At first I was looking into the advanced technology schools but understood that knowing business is essential to success," Rajpoot said. "Knowing that the West Coast is the best coast to start a technology company, it was hardly difficult to choose schools," he noted. "USC is the best choice I could have made. At USC Dornsife, I received mentoring and was given access to resources in both business and science that would be difficult to find elsewhere."
Rajpoot said USC Dornsife has allowed him to assemble a team ranging from professors to professionals that would have been impossible anywhere else.
"We have a pretty diverse group of people who all complement each other," he said. We have specialties from nanotechnology to a family tree of tech entrepreneurship, engineering or banking and finance.
"Making connections and the social aspect was also very important to me, and I thought USC was a place where I would thrive academically and also be able to make many lifelong friends," he said.
In addition to Meyers and Moh El-Naggar, assistant professor of physics at USC Dornsife, Rajpoot paid tribute to his mentors at USC Viterbi, especially optics pioneer and assistant professor of chemical engineering Andrea Armani, who was recently named one of Popular Science magazine's "Brilliant 10" young scientists in the nation.
"I was basically given free reign to the labs I needed because my professors trusted me to go in there and get my work done," he said. "I was like a kid in a candy store — I got access to thousands of dollars of research journals and to laboratories where I could go and test out my hypotheses or build anything I could imagine, and then I was able to get research credits for that."
Rajpoot admitted that juggling his studies with launching his business was challenging.
"It was a struggle," he said. "There were times when I was off the grid for weeks at a time, from 5:30 a.m. until 10 p.m. At times I was told, 'You did more work than a graduate student could do in one semester.' I was just doing what I wanted to do.
"Sustainable MicroFarms' mission is to provide people with sustainable access to healthy, high-quality produce and to make farming more affordable, especially in emerging markets where there is the greatest need."

The Council says that the national grid within Cornwall is now at capacity. Therefore, if there are to be more renewable energy measures (wind and solar parks, geothermal and marine) there needs to be investment in the grid.
The Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) plans to spend more than £100m (
out of £600m ) of Cornwall's EU monies upgrading the grid. The Council
wants to form a partnership to take the decisions on how this money
should be spent.
This may lead to more large scale wind/solar, although the recent
changes in Government's subsidy regime make this less likely.
Perhaps the subsidy changes mean that the LEP should review this £100m
investment in any event.
But the Council keeps all the business rates from renewable energy projects so it is keen on this income generating initiative.
The Council also wants Government money to explore geothermal power.
As £11.5m is already provisionally allocated for that from Cornwall's
European funds it may be argued that more public money for this is not
a top priority.
Finally, the Council wants another chance to run a project of
subsidised measures to insulate people's homes. As only £5m out of
£100m was spent of a similar Council project with British Gas, it is
hard not to be concerned as to whether this new project would be a
success. An alternative might be for any new scheme to be run by the
voluntary sector.

Now planting in Mozambique
Start by clarifying what problem you're trying to solve. Each type of lens filter solves a specific problem. So if you start with the problem, we can help you find the right filter for your next adventure. We've framed some common photography challenges to help you clarify the problem at hand.
Some people say you should collect glass, not cameras because the quality of your lens is so important to the quality of your photographs. Whether you buy into that, or not, it always pays to protect your lenses with premium lens filters. One of the best options for protecting your lenses is an Ultra Violet filter. A UV filter doesn't affect your camera settings and will cut through UV haze on sunny days for sharper photographs. A UV filter is your best option if you want to protect your lenses.
When you're shooting outdoors you'll encounter a lot of reflected light and atmospheric haze, and a Polarizing filter softens both to bring out hidden detail in your photographs. A Polarizing filter can uncover the colours below the surface of a meandering creek, accentuate the saturation in the sky of a stunning landscape, or remove the reflected glare from windows in a street scene. Any time you encounter reflected light (except from metallic surfaces) a polarizing filter will soften the glare and cut out atmospheric haze for better colour contrast and saturation.
A neutral density (ND) filter reduces light intake, so you can slow your shutter speed and open up your aperture to explore new possibilities with your photography. Discover the potential of motion blur, long exposures, and experiment with depth of field with our range of ND filters. ND lens filters come in a range of strengths depending on the effects you wish to achieve and the conditions you'll be shooting in.
Keep your options open and your photography kit light with our range of filter kits. Our filter bundles help you adapt to whatever conditions your encounter on your adventure. Whether you want a UV filter, CPL, a range of ND filters or some colour filters, our filter kits equip you with the best gear so you can capture the moments that matter.

"Now has the winter of our discontent (finally) been made glorious summer . . ." by Commonwealth Shakespeare Company's sumptuous production of "King Lear." Those of us who endured the worst winter in memory in Boston were able to weather the storms in part knowing that we would eventually be able to enjoy the treats that make summer in Boston such a delight - trips to Fenway, beach outings to the Cape or the Vineyard or Hampton Beach, Fireworks and the Boston Pops on the Esplanade on the 4th of July, Fiestas in the North End, fresh lobster rolls, ubiquitous food trucks and Shakespeare on Boston Common.
You know the basic plot. Aging King Lear, feeling his mortality sets out a succession plan to divide his kingdom among his three daughters - Goneril, Regan and Cordelia. In an ill-advised stratagem, he asks them to declare their love for him in as flowery language as they can muster. Goneril and Regan are willing to play the game, and serve up so much purple prose and fawning bullshit that it sounds like a GOP candidates debate.
Cordelia sees the hypocrisy, and simply states that her love for her father should speak for itself. She has proven to be a loyal subject and devoted daughter throughout her life, and is unwilling to gild the lily. He asks her for more in the way of praise and adulation, and when she holds firm, he makes the fatal mistake of judging that her love for him is less than that of Goneril and Regan. He summarily banishes her and refuses to pay a dowry when suitors ask for her hand. He divides her share of the kingdom among Goneril and Regan, and all hell breaks lose in the wake of his blind decision.
Blindness is a persistent theme in this tragedy - physical blindness as well as emotional and spiritual. Betrayal and family strife are also continuing motifs. Not only is Lear dealing with treachery at the hands of his daughters to whom he has ceded the kingdom, but his friend Gloucester is betrayed by his illegitimate son, Edmund, who plans to usurp his brother, Edgar's, place in their father's heart through a forged letter purporting to show treachery on the part of Edgar.
Director Steven Maler has brought his A game to this production - beginning with the casting and continuing through the staging of this epic story. Tony Award-winner Beowulf Buritt has designed a sets that is comprised of skeletal scaffolding the allows flexibility and for actions to be set in such disparate places as Lear's court, the homes of Goneril and Regan, a hut, and the moors near Dover. Lighting by Peter West, Sound by Colin Thurmond and magnificent costumes by Katherine O'Neill make for an overall feel to this production that is very professional and impressive. One particular highlight of this production is the staging of the climactic scene in which Lear, near naked, rages in a storm. He is rained upon and wind blown as he consorts in madness with Edgar, now disguised as a mad beggar wandering upon the moors philosophizing about life .It is a moment of magnificent stage craft.
At the heart of all of this sturm und drang is Will Lyman as King Lear. In his magnificent career on Boston stages, he has won every conceivable award and accolade for his acting. In this role, he expands his hegemony. He possesses the stage from beginning to end. Part of the genius of the set is that it is hung with banners that spell out the warning: "Future Strife May Be Prevented Now." In the early scenes, panels of these hanging banners are stripped away, revealing ever more of the skeletal infrastructure beneath the surface. In the same way, with each progressive scene, layers of Lear's authority, vitality and sanity are stripped away by his own actions and the reactions of others to his decisions.. Lyman's Lear traces an arc of devolution with vocal and physical transformation that signal Lear's devolution from authoritarian monarch to simpering old fool in his dotage bewailing his fate and that of his daughters. Mr. Lyman offers an interpretation one of Shakespeare's most iconic characters that is on a par with the like of James Earl Jones or Mark Rylance. It was like hosting a visiting by the Royal Shakespeare Company to Boston Common.

Mr. Lyman is supported by the work of a number of fine actors in the other principal roles.
Jerry Goodwin as Doctor/Old Man
Brandon G. Green as Oswald
Ed Hoopman as Edgar
Jeanine Kane as Regan
Jeremiah Kissel as Earl of Kent
Deb Martin as Goneril
Libby McKnight as Cordelia
Maurice Emmanuel Parent as Duke of Cornwall
Mickey Solis as Edmund
MArk W. Soucy as Duke of Albany
Fred Sullivan, Jr. as Glocester
Brandon Whitehead as Fool
Each of these actors distinguishes themselves during the course of the three hour marathon. Yet the time flew by as the story and this gripping presentation kept the audience - even the children - in their thrall.
Late last evening I encountered a friend who was just returning from seeing a performance of "King Lear." "How was it?" I asked. "Magnificent! Just magnificent!" That pretty well sums it up. The show closes on Sunday evening, so grab your blanket or chair and make your way to Boston Common and put yourself under the authority of Will Lyman and company.

Ace Combat Assault Horizon
Flying simulated planes has been a gamer tradition dating back to early PC gaming. I'm sure a few of you have even purchased intricate and pricey flight sticks to compliment the experience. Console flight sims never seemed to have the same appeal and I try diligently each generation to regain the former feeling of glory I felt playing a flight sim.
Of course flight "sim" and console gaming don't really go hand in hand (or should I say wing in wing). Console flight games have been more associated with combat or as it's more commonly known, dog fighting. Games like Ace Combat and Crimson Skies. Ace Combat being more slanted towards the simulation side of console flying.
Fast forward to E3 2011 and we get a chance to see Namco Bandai's latest trailer featuring their new Ace Combat title. Ace Combat Assault Horizon seems to add a few new elements to the franchise judging from the trailer you're about to watch. See if you can catch them.
With Starhawk coming soon and this new Ace Combat title I may just be spending most of my evenings in flight. See you in the skies!

If you've been listening to personal finance news at all recently, you've probably heard two things about this tax season – it's going to be complicated for most people, and the Internal Revenue Service's help centers aren't exactly staffed to handle it.
But how does that impact active duty military families?
For the most part, it doesn't.
Taxes and military: Active duty troops have it easy(ish) on the tax front this year.Before anything else let me say – I am not a tax expert or a lawyer or an IRS employee, and you really should consult one of those before sending me an email with technical tax questions. While that disclaimer may not inspire a world of confidence in this blog post, judging by the flood of email I got after writing this news story, it's necessary.
However, I AM a reporter. And here's what I know:
The good news is that all the ways that make this tax season especially confusing for most of America don't really apply to the active duty military. That's because troops and almost all of their dependents have coverage through Tricare and have long before the Affordable Care Act (ACA), popularly known as Obamacare, started requiring it. Taxes and military life aren't necessarily easy (when are taxes ever easy?) but they shouldn't be quite as bad as for the rest of America.
But there IS something you have to do.
Like every tax filing American, Tricare users are going to have to "self-identify" on their forms as having the minimal required coverage. Kate over at Paycheck Chronicles has a really great, easy to read tutorial on how that works. Read it.more info here from the IRS. Warning: it is in IRS-eese, not English.)
The good news? Active duty troops have plenty of access to free tax help.Talk about a relief. Active duty troops and family members have plenty of options when it comes to assistance with their taxes. In person, online … you name it, it's available.
Both Kate and our friends over at the Military.com Deals and Discounts page have put together a great list of these options.
Don't be a hero and try to take on taxes alone – say "yes" to some help.

Our hardwood logs are usually a mixture of species which may include beech, ash, oak, cherry, sycamore and birch.
Hardwood logs are seen to be the best quality of log, as due to their density, they burn for longer and therefore give off more heat compared to a softwood log.

Tonight I attended the MPA: Building Connections workshop at McCombs. The workshop was led by Michelle Polkinghorn and she brushed us up on some crucial networking skills in preparation for the "Meet the Firms" recruiting kickoff this week at DKR Texas Memorial Stadium. For those of you who are not, or have not, recruited recently, "Meet the Firms" is an opportunity for students and firms to meet and connect with each other in a structured setting.
We were given a bunch of important tips but one particularly resonated with me. When I returned home, I turned on The Office while I worked on some audit homework, and I was reminded of this tip and now feel obliged to pass it on to you all.
Michelle suggested that after talking with a recruiter, and receiving their business card, you should write on the back a few key facts about the recruiter or memorable talking points. Of course, this should be done out of view of the recruiter. Suggested were writing things such as "UT alum" or "Talked about our love for cycling." Anything that will help you to create an actual memorable relationship with the person.
Tell me which sounds better:
1. "Oh, hi…do you remember me? We, um, talked before…at the event last week…"
2. "Hello *recruiter's name*, how are you doing? Did you ever get a chance to check out that bike trail we talked about last week at the brief and meet?"
I know I have a tendency to be extreme, but I hope you see my point.
Now back to The Office. This particular episode pits Dwight and Michael against each other competing for a big client. Although we can all agree that Michael can be a little bit radical and unreasonable in his business methods, he successfully employs this business card tip! In Michael's case, he writes down facts about his clients' families and likes/dislikes. Therefore, in a business setting, Michael delights his clients using the information he had written down.
Personal facts show his clients (and in our case, recruiters) that he cares about them and helps to maintain, as well as strengthen, their relationship.
My favorite clip from the episode reveals Michael's thoughts on Dwight:

Up on a ladder, Peter Lezin was struggling to straighten one of the many signs that decorate Brandon All-Stars, his award-after-award-winning cheerleading gym.
"Your banner's crooked," Tara Diaz said with a smirk.
"What? No, it's not," Peter said.
"Yes, it is. You need to fix that," Tara beckoned.
"Then why don't you do it?"
So she did. She climbed that ladder and fixed that banner to her liking.
To this day, Tara says Peter admits he let her do it for a peek at her behind.
"He was pretty fresh," Tara, now 27, recalls with a laugh.
She was in Brandon from Key West to take care of her grandmother and wanted a tumbling lesson with her former coach. Peter, now 35, didn't recognize her, but loved her spunky attitude.
He wooed her into hanging out with some of his friends later that night.
A month later, in February 2009, he took her to the Florida State Fair on their first official date. At the end of a dizzying day, he lost the car in the parking lot.
They strolled around the gargantuan field for nearly two hours. Peter was embarrassed, so Tara kissed him.
Realizing she was falling in love with Peter, Tara traded her tropical Key West home for the Brandon suburbs. She also scored a job coaching at the gym (no surprise there).
Each year, Peter puts together a showcase at Brandon All-Stars where all the teams come together to jump, flip and kick for friends and family. In 2011, Peter had around 500 people packed in the gym.
He gave an opening speech, telling the throng how he had taken a lot of first steps since taking over the gym in 2005.
"And today, I want to take one more step," he said, turning toward Tara.
He kneeled and proposed. The crowd went nuts!
On the day of the wedding, Sept. 29, 2012, Tara needed a few minutes of peace — no bridesmaids, family or fuss — before making her way to the aisle at Nova535, an event space in downtown St. Petersburg where they would marry.
She went back to her hotel room at the Renaissance Vinoy. A heart-shaped box was waiting for her.
She opened it. Inside was a bracelet, a house key and a tiny slip of paper that said: All of this because of the banner.

The Umbrella Plant is an evergreen perennial which forms a clump of erect stems with green foliage and small yellow-green flowers. It has a striking exotic appearance whilst also resembling the spokes of an umbrella; hence the common name of 'Umbrella Plant'. It is a moisture loving plant that grows well in ponds and bog gardens. The Cyperus alternifolius has been awarded the Award of Garden Merit given by the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS), which helps gardeners make informed choices about plants.
Caring and Maintenance
This plant is semi-hardy. It will happily survive outside in warmer parts of the UK all year around. However, in colder climates, it should be overwintered in a greenhouse. Water adequately during dry and hot periods.
RHS Award of Garden Merit
The Award of Garden Merit or AGM is an award made to garden plants by the British Royal Horticultural Society after a period of assessment by the appropriate committees of the Society. Awards are made annually after plant trials (which may last for one or more years, depending on the type of plant being trialled) at RHS Garden, Wisley and other RHS gardens, or after observation of plants in specialist collections. This is intended to judge the plants' performance for conditions in the UK.

In December 1999, one of the most complicated watches ever made became the most expensive watch ever sold when it was hammered down for $11 million at Sotheby's .
The gold pocket watch, which featured 24 complications, was the result of a long-standing competition between two magnates of America's Gilded Age. New York financierHenry Graves Jr. Henry Graves Jr. and Ohio automobile engineer James Ward PackardJames Ward Packard vied with one another to own a timepiece with the greatest possible number of complications. (Complications are mechanical functions of the watch other than the hours, minutes and seconds.) Packard commissioned 13 complicated watches from Patek Philippe between 1900 and 1927. They included a perpetual calendar with phases and age of the moon, indication of sunrise and sunset, and a celestial chart depicting the constellations of stars in the sky over Packard's home in Ohio.
Not to be outdone, Henry Graves Jr. also commissioned a series of complicated watches from Patek Philippe, culminating in a timepiece that took three years to design and five years to produce. When completed in 1933, the watch had a different horological function for each hour of the day and included a chart of the nighttime sky over Graves' home in New York.
Graves died in 1953, and his heirs sold the watch to the Time Museum in Rockford, Ill., in 1968. When the museum closed, the watch was among 80 other pieces from the collection that were deaccessioned and sold at Sotheby'sin 1999. All together, they brought $28 million. The Graves watch had a presale estimate of $3 million to $5 million, and sold for $11,003,500 to an anonymous collector.
Patek Phillippe Caliber 89
In 1989, Patek Philippe created the world's most complicated timepiece, the Caliber 89, in celebration of the firm's 150th anniversary. A pocket watch like the Graves and the Packard, the Caliber 89 has 33 functions and 1,728 unique parts. Its complications include the date of Easter, sidereal time and a celestial chart with 2,800 stars.
The most complicated handmade watch ever created has been sold at auction for a record-breaking 20.6 million Swiss francs (£13.4m).
The Graves Supercomplication was delivered in 1933 to millionaire eccentric banker Henry Graves Jr., who commissioned the 18-karat gold timepiece that incorporates 24 complications (functions outside timekeeping), that was hailed as the most complicated watch of its era.
In a Sotheby's auction yesterday the collectors piece went to an anonymous bidder after a curious set of events saw it wind up on the bidding pillow.
The scion of a wealthy American banking family Graves commissioned the watch as part of a horological duel with his rival James Ward Packard – the luxury car pioneer – to possess the most complicated timepiece ever created.
Graves, who was obsessively competitive as well as secretive, won the competition after eight years of waiting for the Supercomplication.
The star attraction – literally – of the piece is that it's face displays a celestial chart that perfectly plots the night sky above the financier's former apartment overlooking Central Park off Fifth Avenue in New York.
The piece is capable of measuring more than just the time, recording sunrise and sunset, contains a perpetual calendar – and chimes the same tune as Big Ben.

Beaver Brook operates a summer camp for children and coordinates yearlong programming for all ages.
There are numerous town trails to explore throughout the region. Purgatory Falls was once a popular destination for tourists who 'summered' at the grand hotels in Mont Vernon and now is a popular hike to view the beautiful falls. Milford and Amherst have numerous town trails. Information may be found on http://milford.nh.gov/conservation/ and http://www.montvernonnh.us/index.php/conservation-home. A more rigorous climb can be had with a hike up Pack Monadnock or Wapack Mountain in Temple – information on Miller State Park, the trailhead for Pack Monadnock, may be found at http://www.nhstateparks.org/explore/state-parks/miller-state-park.aspx or on the Wapack Trail that includes Wapack, Pack Monadnock and North Pack Mountains at http://www.wapack.org/.
What would summer be without swimming? Silver Lake State Park is located in Hollis and Amherst has a town beach located at Baboosic Lake. Goss Park in Wilton is the local swimming hole. And the Towns of Milford and Greenville both has town-owned pools.

Wilton is home to the Riverview Mill Artist Collective, two historic mill buildings filled with working artist studios, galleries and shops. Over 30 artist studios. http://www.riverviewmill.com
While in Wilton, take a trip back in cinematic history with a movie at the Wilton Town Hall Theater. Built in 1886, it was first used as a play house for traveling shows and vaudeville. One can still see the original stage that actors used in the late 1800's. It was then converted in 1912 to a silent film house. Its popularity boomed as sound was introduced, and World War II hit, as it was the only local theater to provide current news reels.
The "Big House" seats 250 patrons in comfortable, well spaced seating. The "screening room" is a small, 63 seat theater that was converted from the original vaudeville actors changing room. It features a large screen and excellent, no strain viewing for comfortable film enjoyment. It's received its nick name as it closely resembles a Hollywood studio screening room. http://www.wiltontownhalltheatre.com/
All the world is a stage in Milford at the Amato Center for the Performing Arts, home to the Riverbend Youth Theater Company and the Milford Area Players. Both companies put on numerous productions all throughout the year. See a schedule at http://www.svbgc.org/theater
The Souhegan Valley is rich in history from Monson Village, (http://www.forestsociety.org/ourproperties/guide/?block=108) one of New Hampshire's first colonial settlements chartered in 1946 and located in what is today Milford, to playing a vital role in the country's industrial revolution and mill history. A visit to the several historical societies located in the Towns of the Valley will yield numerous tidbits and information on our role in American History – from the American Revolution, Civil War and role in the Abolitionist movement, to this region's leadership in the manufacturing, granite mining, and agriculture. Several local Historical Societies curate museums that are open to the public.

Topic: Animals › Dogs
Sample donated: Eugene Robbins
Pet MicrochippingLosing a pet can be a devastating experience for an individual or an entire family. There are several means of preventing this devastating loss, but the most effective is microchip implants. Collars have a risk of being lost, while tattoos can both fade over time and simply go unnoticed, microchips have none of these risks. A microchip will never become lost or faded, and the vast majority of veterinary hospitals, animal control bureaus, SPCA's, and other organizations with a high chance of receiving stray animals, routinely scan dogs and cats who have lost their owners.The process of implanting a microchip is fast, affordable, and virtually painless. A microchip roughly the size of a grain of rice is injected into the tissues beneath the skin on the back of the neck between your pet's shoulder blades, through the use of a hypodermic needle. This chip contains an ID number which can be read by a scanner. During the injection, your pet will not experience any more discomfort than you would during a routine vaccination, so anesthesia is not necessary.Should your pet be found, the hospital or other organization who treats him or her will scan for this chip. Once a chip is scanned and the unique ID number found,it can be entered into a national database online in order to find your contact information and help reunite you with your fur-baby! For this to work, however, the microchip's ID number must be registered. At World of Animals at Mayfair, we not only perform the implant, but also will handle the necessary paperwork for this registration. All World of Animals Veterinary Hospitals' microchips include Lifetime Registration.A microchip can safely and effectively be implanted at any age, and in both dogs and cats. As the American Veterinary Medical Association has noted, a study by Lord et al found that lost dogs with microchips were over twice as likely to be returned to their owners, when compared to dogs who did not have microchips. The same study also found that lost cats with microchips were more than 20 times more likely to be returned to their owners as cats without them. Additionally, Microchips are obligatory for international travel, and should the ownership of your pet be contested, qualify as valid proof of ownership.

No, wait, that's it. They — the visitors, the press, Martha Stewart (true story) — always ask the same thing, every time a performance artist "occupies" a gallery space. The New York Time's profile on Dawn Kasper who's been living and making art things in the Whitney Museum since the biennial mentions many things about Kasper's performative practice and clutter, and yet, the conversation always circles back to "Where do you pee?"
Remember when Marina Abramović was sitting in a chair for days on end in the MoMA — oh the obsessive pee theories that were? Aright then. Kasper pees in the basement bathroom and sleeps in a room in Greenpoint. Mystery solved. Ok, I was sort of curious too. Damn it.
Perhaps the only way to avoid these same old bodily function questions is stop living in galleries and museums. Wasn't there three or four artists bunking in the Armory booths this year at some point? Let's move on. Or I'm moving in too. (Photo: ANIMALNewYork)

5 mindfulness at work tips to help you through the first week of the year
- January 13, 2017
Having made it through that in-between Christmas and New Year period (AKA that really weird week!) you're now ready to hit your working year running – right?
We all know that the holidays can be a wonderful time of year for many, but as well as all the good parts, there is a side to the festive season, and the start of a new year, that can mean that we begin our new 12 month period feeling a little out of sorts.
With this in mind, we asked Mark Leonard, Course Leader and Lead Practitioner, Mindfulness Connected and Chris Tamdjidi, Founder & Director, Kalapa Academy for their top 5 mindfulness tips to ease us through the first week of the year.
5 mindfulness at work tips for the start of the year…
1. Mindful walking is a great way to calm and focus your mind, and as an added bonus, it also improves your posture. Try and include 5 minutes of mindful walking on your commute, or take a quick mindful walk around the building before you settle down to work, invigorated and refreshed.
2. If you feel yourself starting to feel 'mindless' at any point during the day, use mindfulness practices, including conscious awareness of your breathing, to develop awareness grounded in the body.
3. Cultivate awareness of how ideas about yourself and others produce different moods and emotions. With this understanding, bring compassion to how you and others act out of need, dislike and ignorance.
4. Act with clear intention to empower others, feel the warmth inside and knowing that you are working with forces of change, smile.
5. Begin every meeting with a quick one minute mindfulness practice, such as closing your eyes and following your breath. End the meeting 5 mins before the hour to give people time to unwind.
To find out more about mindfulness at work during 2017 please follow us on Twitter because we would love to connect with you.
You can join Chris and Mark in London in April at Mind & Matter 2017, to find out more about how you can apply mindfulness to increase you and your team's productivity, creativity, focus, decision making and much more.
About Mind & Matter
Mind & Matter has been borne out of the recognition that greater purpose drives results and that organisations that effectively embed mindfulness interventions will see myriad benefits in the net events arrange by https://epiceventsnj.com/cinematic-video/: including greater creativity, resilience, focus and employee wellbeing rates. We don't see mindfulness as a panacea, but as part of the solution in a time of seismic disruption and ever-increasing pace in business.
As event and content experts, we see our role as facilitating better dialogue between leaders and agents of change and presenting the most compelling evidence and case studies that demonstrate the effectiveness of mindfulness in the workplace: for leaders, HR practitioners and organisational effectiveness specialists.

What was the situation for Poland at the outbreak of World War One?The beginning of World War One found Poland wiped off the map of Europe, following partitions by her neighbours Russia, Austria and Prussia at the end of the 18th century. The outbreak of war raised the hopes of many Poles for regaining long-awaited independence. Polish territory became the main scene of military operations carried out on the Eastern Front between Russia (fighting for the Allies) and Germany and Austria-Hungary (fighting for the Central Powers). Thousands of young Poles were conscripted on both sides of the conflict and this inevitably led to fratricidal slaughter.
What was the role of the Polish Legions?In August 1914 Józef Piłsudski, the most influential Polish politician of the time, formed the Polish Legions on the territory of the Austrian partition in Galicia. Under his leadership the first military formations began a struggle against Russia, which held the greater part of the Polish territory. The Polish Legions played a significant role in the campaign at the Eastern Front and Piłsudski was later credited with the rebirth of a free Poland. This book contains first-hand accounts of the battles that the Legion's First Regiment fought during the early months of the war.

There are countless articles, blogs, even entire websites offering advice to authors considering self-publishing their book or manuscript. From start to finish authors can find advice on how to get into book stores, how to do their own composition, how to find the best printer. The list goes on and on.
We've even written a few posts ourselves on the subject:
- http://sheridan.com/blog/how-choose-best-options-your-book
- http://sheridan.com/blog/value-publishers-offer-authors
- http://sheridan.com/blog/self-publishers-guide-successfully-managing-book-printing-process
- and this last one that is connected to a white paper on the subject: http://sheridan.com/blog/self-publishers-guide-successfully-managing-book-printing-process
So much has been said about self-publishing it got me thinking, aren't independent journals self-publishing, too? I'm defining independent journals as a periodical publication created by an individual or a team that is not associated, supported, or funded by a large publishing house, a university press, a society, and/or a small independent press. These are the important subset of journals that are created for the sole purpose of publishing their title; these are journals that are not a society member benefit (but maybe a society has formed around them); they are a stand-alone entity.
When someone decides to start an independent journal aren't they faced with many of the same types of challenges and decisions as an individual who has written, and now is producing and promoting, his or her own book? The journal staff has to decide what the journal will look like, how they will create the production file/manage the composition, how they will distribute, and generally how they will manage their production costs versus their profits.
Sure, there are differences. For journals the distribution model can be more complex—the issue of subscriptions comes into play—but they are still faced with the question of how to get into a brick and mortar store. Both have to navigate the contracts and distribution arrangements with the bookstores and distribution companies. Both still have to battle Amazon if they so choose. Independent journals have to figure out how they will vet content and manage author agreements and compensation—when we know for self-publishing authors the content vetting wasn't necessary and the author's compensation depends on final sales. But in the end, time and resource management and opportunities for promotion and exposure are paramount for both to succeed.
A lot of what is written for self-publishing authors can also be applied to independent journal publishers to help with these shared key issues. If you're thinking of starting, or are in the early stages of independent journal creation and management, I would recommend reading some of the best posts I've found to date that translate well to journals—not including, of course, the Sheridan posts already listed above:

Wednesday, Aug. 4, 2010
By Chuck Garfien
It goes by way too fast.
How else can you describe 25 years passing by, and yet the sights, sounds, and smells from that day remain so present you could swear it all happened last week?
I was reminded of this when I woke up today and thought of Aug. 4, 1985, a date which as I get older speeds further and further behind in my life.
For White Sox fans, it is known as the day Tom Seaver won his 300th game. But for me, its something more. Not just because I was there to watch the game in person, but because of the man who was sitting there beside me.
Maybe he is again.
In the summer of 1985, I had braces on my teeth and baseball on my mind 23 hours a day. The other hour was likely spent thinking about girls, which at the time was a puzzling exercise in teenage futility.
So I mainly stuck with baseball. Its what I knew best.
The Sox in 1985 were a team on its last fumes. Still clinging to the success of 1983 when they won 99 games and the AL West title, players like Britt Burns, Julio Cruz, Rudy Law, Ron Kittle and Tom Paciorek remained on the roster. Two years later, all of them, including manager Tony La Russa, would be gone.
Such inevitable roster moves were of no concern to me back then, especially when my mother made an announcement in the Garfien household, telling me that my grandfather wanted to take me to New York City to watch the White Sox play the Yankees. It was the kind of bulletin that if my life was a TV channel, you would see running in bright red letters at the bottom of the screen:
Breaking News: Garfien headed to NYC to watch White Sox.
My grandfathers name was Joe Garfien. But to me and his eight other grandchildren, he was simply Papa Joe, a man who came to America in 1926. Or was it 1927? He and his mother left behind their home in Austria. Or was it Poland? The geography in Europe kept changing back then. So did Papas year of birth. Details of such trivial facts remained blurred for decades.
But not Papa Joes early memories of watching sports in Chicago.
He saw the great Babe Ruth play at Comiskey Park. He saw Carl Hubbell pitch at Wrigley Field. Name the athlete (Red Grange) or historical figure (Al Capone), Papa Joe saw them live and in the flesh. Now, we were both embarking on a journey together, sharing memories of our own on a special weekend between grandfather and grandson, and our common love for baseball.
Back in July when the trip was planned, we got two tickets for two games: Aug. 3 and Aug. 4. As the weekend drew closer, we became the beneficiaries of an extraordinary coincidence: Tom Seaver, the White Sox 40-year-old pitcher was in line to start on Sunday, Aug. 4, in search of his 300th career victory.
In Chicago, this was a big deal. But in New York, where the former Mets legend would try to make history inside enemy territory, Yankee Stadium, it was even bigger.
You got a sense of the enormity of the event during the Saturday game when a rabid Mets fan hung a massive 50-foot sign over the first-base upper-deck railing that said three simple words:
Tom is God.
Yankees fans were furious. You could hear their displeasure in the profanity-laced tirades that were coming from all angles around us.
But those jeers would soon be replaced with cheers. Don Mattingly, Ron Hassey and future Sox slugger Dan Pasqua all went deep off White Sox starter Bill Long (remember him? I dont). The Sox got pounded 8-4.
Papa Joe and I went back to our hotel disappointed, but looked forward to the Seaver game on Sunday, as well as the festivities planned for Saturday night.
On the plane ride to New York, my grandfather raved about us seeing the Rockettes, the famous dance company known for their sky-high leg kicks that could poke an eye out. But when we arrived at Radio City Music Hall for their show, something wasnt right.
Little kids were everywhere. Were talking 5- and 6-year-olds overdosed on candy, running through the aisles as if they were nervously awaiting the arrival of Big Bird and Kermit the Frog.
Suddenly, the curtain rose, and there they were: the Rockettes! They danced and kicked in perfect unison, much to Papa Joes delight. For five solid minutes they owned the place ... until they exited the stage, and never came back.
Ladies and Gentlemen, the Rockettes!
It turns out Papas favorite dancers were just the opening act. What everyone came to see that night was something different.
A two-hour Disney cartoon.
I think it was Bambi. I frankly dont remember. My grandfather was asleep by the opening credits. I was out soon after that.
But Sunday, as we headed back to Yankee Stadium for the Seaver game, we were wide awake. Our tickets were in the upper deck on the first-base side, close to where that Mets fan declared his religious love for Tom the day before.
Seaver might have been 40 years old at the time, but that season he was pitching in his prime. He came into the game with an 11-8 record and an ERA under 3.00. And from the very beginning, you knew this was going to be Seavers day, which just so happened to be Phil Rizzuto Day at Yankee Stadium.
So much for that.
Other than an RBI single by Ken Griffey Sr., the Yankees couldnt touch Seaver. At one point, the future Hall of Famer retired 10 batters in a row. The Yankees managed six hits for the game. All singles.
Seaver went the distance, striking out seven, ending the game with a Don Baylor fly-out to Reid Nichols in left.
Win No. 300 was his. This incredible moment between my grandfather and I was ours.
As you get older, you learn that life is rarely that perfect.
Papa Joe would live another 20 years. He passed away in May 2005, missing the White Sox winning the World Series by five months.
Somewhere in the Comcast SportsNet library lives a tape of the Seaver game. Somewhere in my mind lives the memories of a grandfather who always wanted the best for his grandson. I was lucky to have him.

Much of the world continues to face economic challenges, and financial innovation will be "essential" to solving them, according to Nobel laureate and MIT Sloane School of Management professor Robert Merton. That even extends to one of the things we'll all face one day: retirement. Merton has studied extensively how innovation and retirement planning intersect. We sat down with him recently, and he told us about the role futures markets play:
"In the case of retirement, as we see that people want to be more sure that they'll have income for the rest of thier life, someone has to bear efficiently that longevity risk, the interest rate risk, the inflation risk, all of these. And innovations come along to find a better and better way of doing it."
