Learn how borrowing some customer-service philosophies from Starbucks can set your shop apart from the competition.
I recently took a business trip to Europe, and while I was there, I couldn't resist the almost unbelievable deals offered by some of the low-cost airlines. It turned out that I could fly from Germany to England to visit with my folks for the incredible price of $30! The deal made the trip affordable and would allow me to enjoy some much-needed rest and recuperation with my extended family.
I had been attending a trade show in Frankfurt and was impressed by the convenience of the airport and the availability and ease of using public transportation in Germany. I was looking forward to a quick, trouble-free commute to England. It turns out that I should have taken the time to read the small print.
I soon discovered that my cut-price deal did not include flying from the wonderful, modern Frankfurt Airport. The flight actually left from another airport more than an hour and a half away. The airport was an old, converted US Air Force base filled with surly airline employees and enormous check-in lines. I had been warned to arrive at least two hours before takeoff, and almost all of that time was spent standing in one queue after another, waiting for a rude check-in clerk to scrutinize a piece of paper and send me scurrying off to the next line. The passengers were packed into the plane like sardines, ignored for an hour or so as we flew, and then released into the airport with little or no information about where to locate our baggage.
I came to the realization somewhere over the French coast that I would never do this again. The other airlines certainly cost more, but they make up for it in convenience and customer service, not to mention the in-flight beverages and the oh-so-necessary peanuts.
Customer service long gone
Lately I have noticed a disturbing trend among many of the smaller businesses in our industry. It seems that in a lot of cases we are engaged in a manic rush to be the cheapest suppliers on the block, to always offer the lowest price, and to undercut our competition at any cost. To do this, our businesses are operating on a knife-edge, balancing cash flow against profit and workers against overhead to land work. This approach turns the leanest of margins into the leanest of profits.

A Student Union brick campaign will begin this summer when UNF offers the opportunity to purchase a personalized paver that will be laid in Osprey Plaza, the atrium walkway between the east and west buildings of the 148,000-square-foot structure, before the scheduled opening in 2009.Organizers hope a UNF brick will provide an opportunity for faculty and staff to demonstrate support for students, become a prized graduation gift, or a way for a grateful student to honor a mentor or favorite professor."It is an opportunity for alumni, students, faculty, staff, parents and community members to purchase personalized bricks as a tangible expression of UNF pride and spirit that will be visible for generations," said Dr. Lucy Croft, assistant vice president for Student Affairs.A personalized 8-by-8-inch paver will cost $200 for faculty, staff, alumni and others. Currently enrolled students will pay $100. The price includes the lettering that will be cut into the bricks. Proceeds from brick sales will go to the Division of Student Affairs to help pay for scholarships, programs and initiatives to enhance student life.Bruce Ogier, a 1974 UNF graduate and member of the Student Affairs Community Council that proposed the brick campaign, said the council was looking for a fund-raising method to help Student Affairs enhance student life on campus, as well as create new ways for employees, students, alumni and others to connect to the University.The brick campaign is expected to become an annual fund-raising source for Student Affairs for years to come. The atrium walkway will include thousands of bricks. Plans call for bricks to be installed once or twice a year, depending on sales.Ogier said the brick campaign gives Student Affairs "the opportunity to have extra money to accelerate what would be good programs, which would be state-funded, to enhance them and make them even better."The plaza is certain to become a well-traveled walkway as students, faculty and staff visit the hub of activity at the Student Union, which will house the Student Government offices, the UNF Bookstore, a convenience store, food court and other amenities.
Dr. Pamela Chally's hard work paid off May 30 when she was named this year's EVE Award winner for excellence in education at a luncheon at Jacksonville's Hyatt Regency. The Florida Times-Union presented its annual EVE Awards to recognize women who have made a positive impact on the Northeast Florida area and the people who live here. Chally, dean of the Brooks College of Health, received the coveted award based on her outstanding accomplishments over the past year.Among her many successes, Chally performed a yearlong survey to evaluate and address the area's nursing shortage. She also obtained the naming grant needed to complete the $10 million expansion of the Brooks College of Health building and she was instrumental in taking the University's nursing and physical therapy programs from the master's level to the doctoral level.Known on campus as a personable, dedicated and committed health care educator, Chally was characterized by the EVE Award judges as diplomatic and visionary and one who "just stays on the task until she gets it done.""It's quite an honor to be selected for this award. I feel very humbled by it," Chally said. "It means a lot to be recognized by other women in the city for my accomplishments and for being committed to what I believe in."UNF's Dr. Kristine Webb was also nominated for this year's EVE Awards and was a finalist in the education category. As director of UNF's Disability Resource Center and associate professor for the Department of Exceptional Student and Deaf Education, Webb's primary accomplishment in 2007 was making a UNF education feasible, available and enjoyable for students with disabilities. She also was responsible for substantially increasing the use of the resource center and its assistive technology and partnering with national, community and campus groups to enable 29 students with disabilities to graduate. This more than doubled the number of graduates in the previous two years.EVE Awards have been presented by The Jacksonville Times-Union since 1969, recognizing local women for their efforts and accomplishments in the areas of education, volunteer service and employment. Four finalists in each of the three categories are honored for their significant contributions of the past year and one woman from each category is presented the golden apple, which represents the community's first and most esteemed award for women. Recipients are chosen by a panel of judges including former EVE Award winners.
While the audience at the recent "Coffee Talk with the Office of the General Counsel" event at Starbucks was comprised mainly of high-ranking staff administrators, a high-ranking member of a student organization also took advantage of the opportunity to learn about the law and UNF."As the attorney general for Student Government, I attended the 'Coffee Talk with the Office of the General Counsel' to learn about legal issues that are currently facing our campus," said Leslie Burch, a UNF senior who will be going to law school next summer. "By seeking education about these issues, Student Government becomes better equipped to represent and serve the students."Chris Wrenn, an attorney from the General Counsel's Office, and Dan Endicott, director of Environmental Health, Safety, Risk Management and Building Code Administration, made brief presentations at the Coffee Talk event, touching on a number of subjects. This was the third "Coffee Talk with the Office of the General Counsel." The series is designed to address legal issues that arise at UNF, using a question-and-answer format."'Coffee Talks' provide students, faculty and staff opportunities to learn about the framework and practical application of federal and state law and University regulation," Wrenn said. "'Coffee Talks' are a good way to expand your knowledge about the law and find everyday applications in your life and career," he said.Wrenn and Endicott spoke in general terms about issues related to management of legal risks by vendors, contractors and other non-University people. The risk management included safety compliance, transfer of risk, indemnity and insurance coverage.Wrenn said the majority of the legal risks at UNF relate to intentional or unintentional torts. An intentional tort is a wrongful act by one party against another that results in damages and is recognized by law as grounds for a lawsuit. Intentional torts, which Wrenn said are not often seen at UNF, can include such actions as copyright infringement, slander and libel, assault and trespass.Unintentional torts occur because of negligence, which results in an injury to a person or damage to property. Slips and falls and injuries incurred on University-owned equipment or facilities are examples of tort risks to UNF.There are limitations on risk in Florida that don't exist in other states, Wrenn said. Because UNF is a state entity, sovereign immunity is available for UNF in an unintentional tort above $100,000 per person or $200,000 per occurrence. Sovereign immunity precludes persons bringing suits against the University from recovering higher amounts.Endicott's department is responsible for risk management. They perform a risk review of contracts and agreements for student/University-sponsored events to try and ensure the risk is transferred from the University to the vendor or sponsor of the event.Endicott spoke about environmental risks, which are addressed in contracts with UNF's vendors. "All wastes are recycled, used as fuel or incinerated so nothing is left to be stored in a barrel somewhere," he said. In addition to being environmentally sound, the disposal or recycling of wastes heads off potential future legal problems by ensuring local, state and federal regulations are adhered to.When he talked about the transfer of risks, Wrenn addressed the topic of indemnity, which he defined as the assumption of one party of the liability of another party. Vendors often ask for an indemnity clause in contracts with the University. Wrenn referred to insurance as a subset of indemnity. The insurance company assumes the liability risks of the insured.The Office of the General Counsel, with four attorneys on staff, provides legal representation and support for all segments of the University community. Identifying and reducing legal risk to UNF is one of its main goals.Negotiable instruments like checks, drafts and promissory notes were the topics at the second "Coffee Talk" in April. Copyright law was the subject for the first "Coffee Talk" in March. The subject for this month's event hasn't yet been determined.
The UNF Wind Ensemble performed June 1 as part of the Excellence in Education Concert Series at Carnegie Hall in New York City, marking the first time any UNF musical group has ever taken the stage at the renowned venue.The ensemble, conducted by Dr. Gordon Brock, performed music by various leading composers, including Bassi, Daugherty, Tchaikovsky, Ticheli and Tosti. In addition, Dr. Krzysztof Biernacki performed as a baritone soloist, recent UNF graduate Casey Dodd performed as a timpani soloist and Dr. Guy Yehuda performed as a clarinet soloist. Dr. Randall Tinnin served as the guest conductor.About 50 UNF students made the trip to New York, courtesy of funding provided by the University's Transformational Learning Opportunity program. As part of the TLO, students also were scheduled to attend an open rehearsal of the New York Philharmonic and a subsequent performance of the same program, and to tour the Juilliard School of Music. Brock, chair of the Department of Music, organized the trip.
UNF's Envionmental Health and Safety Department recently received the prestigious Gold Award presented by the state of Florida's Interagency Advisory Council on Loss Prevention Award for Excellence in Loss Prevention. This is the highest honor that can be received by the IAC.The award, presented May 7 during an IAC meeting, recognizes UNF's outstanding efforts in loss prevention through an objective comparison of the University's safety program to established best practices in loss prevention. The IAC recognized UNF as having one of the best safety programs in the state.The award was based upon scores obtained by completing a safety program evaluation survey. Agencies receiving a score of 94 percent or greater received the coveted designation.
This March I was privileged to be able to attend a Coggin College, marketing focused Study Abroad to China with 20 business students. We attended lectures prior to the trip to learn about culture, economics, religion, architecture, and marketing in China. During the trip we spent 10 days exhausting as many learning activities as possible! One highlight for our students was that we visited universities in both Beijing and Xi'an, where we attended short lectures. Afterwards the students had a chance to meet one-on-one with Chinese students.We also toured Tian An Men Square, the Forbidden City, the Summer Palace, Temple of Heaven, a silk factory, a jade factory, KFC (yes, to see why they are such a success in China), several street markets, the Terracotta Warriors Museum, Ming tombs, Shanghai Museum, a Buddhist temple, a Muslim mosque, climbed the Great Wall (well, I climbed as far as I could and some made it to the top!), and rode the fastest train - that sits just above the track, not actually on the track.The experience has transformed how we see the Chinese people and their culture. We ended our trip with unforgettable memories and lifelong friends.

Department: Information Technology ServicesJob: Director, Enterprise SystemsYears at UNF: 12Tell us about your family.My family is the most important thing in my life! I am married to a wise and wonderful woman - Yemisi (she is probably reading this since she works here at UNF and provided these specific words), and I have two sons: Dylan, who's 11, and my little firecracker Samuel, who is 2.If you could choose any other career, what would it be and why?I would be an entrepreneur. I like the flexibility that comes with being my own boss, so that I could spend more quality time with family. I am always inspired by people who start with an idea and turn it into a vocation of their own choosing.What would you like to do when you retire?Travel and spend more time with my family; study and maybe teach history and play endless golf. I am convinced I can break 70!What is your favorite thing about working at UNF?The people. I enjoy the campus community, its multicultural environment and intellectual vibe that I am exposed to on a daily basis. I often tell people that I get to see people on their way to some place they aspire to be and that if you stay long enough you get to meet them again as their dreams and aspirations are being fulfilled.If you won the lottery, what would do with the money?We would love to build a school and provide others with the gift of an education ... education truly is transforming for a family. I am living proof.What is the proudest/happiest moment of your life?There are a few - Definitely getting married; watching my kids being born; graduating from college (I am a first-generation college graduate in my family).Tell us something that would surprise people to know about you.I was born and grew up in a very small town (almost a village!) on Maryland's Eastern Shore ... along with my two brothers. We all enlisted in the U. S. Navy at 18 and enjoyed serving our country. My youngest brother has continued to serve for almost 20 years now!What person had the greatest impact on your life?My father because of his work ethic, moral compass and his deep and abiding compassion for, and commitment to, helping others.What are you most passionate about?My family, my faith.What's the last book you read?"Time for Tom" (VeggieTales Series) by Phil Vischer to my son Samuel. His reaction: "Read it again, daddy."
Q: From Dr. John Hatle (Biology): What is the history and logic behind requiring students to acquire a minimum number of credits during summer terms? It seems like an odd graduation requirement.A: From Victoria Lane (Enrollment Services): The summer session enrollment rule is a Florida statute that was created in 1975. One of the reasons this requirement was created was to ensure that the universities facilities were being used year round. The legislature did not want expensive building space to remain empty during the summer term, so they made it a requirement for students to take nine hours. Some also feel that it helps students stay on track for graduation. This rule can be waived by Academic Affairs if the student can show unusual financial hardship.Q: From Dr. Christine Rasche (Criminology and Criminal Justice): Several years ago, as the University was experiencing a growth spurt (though when has it NOT been growing?) there was some talk about putting up attractive directional signs at various intersections on campus so that new students and visitors could find their way around. What happened to that idea?A: From Zak Ovadia (Facilities Planning and Construction): The idea of improving wayfinding signage on campus is alive and healthy. The Office of Facilities Planning and Construction has been working with a specialist consultant and representatives from various departments to produce a template for new signage throughout campus. Construction documents are in the last stages of completion. Following the approval of funding, one can expect to see some of the new signs going up before the end of the calendar year. There were several presentations made to the campus community at large describing the various new construction activities as well as showing what is being contemplated for the wayfinding system. That slide presentation is available on the A&P Association Web site at www.unf.edu/facstaff/apa (click on "Construction Update" under the heading "Presentations from our Fall 2007 Meeting").

Each year, there are more than 100,000 injuries to the eye among individuals involved in sports-related activities. It's been estimated that 90 percent of eye injuries can be prevented by using off-the-shelf eye guards. Here's what Dr. Joel Beam has to say about sports eye injuries.What sports have the highest risk of eye injury?A risk of injury to the eye is present in any sport that involves a stick, racquet, bat, ball or other projectile, or body contact. Sports with a high risk of eye injury include baseball, basketball, boxing, fencing, field hockey, ice hockey, lacrosse, martial arts, paintball, racquetball, softball, squash and street hockey.What types of eye guards are available for sports?Eye guards are available in three designs: glasses, shields and goggles. Glasses can be used in baseball, basketball, field hockey, football, ice hockey, lacrosse and softball. Multiple styles are available in one- or three-piece frame designs. Shields are designed to be used in combination with baseball and softball catcher's masks, field hockey, football, ice hockey and lacrosse helmets and face guards. Most shields are attached on the inside surface of the face guards. Goggles are used to provide protection in lacrosse, skiing, swimming and water polo. Swimming and water polo goggles are manufactured in a cup style to fit snugly over the eyes, while lacrosse designs are constructed of a foam-lined, light wire frame.Are eye guards mandatory in any sport?Eye guards are mandatory in only one college/university and high school sport, women's and girl's lacrosse. However, athletes who wear contact lenses or glasses for vision correction should wear eye guards for protection.Do my sunglasses provide adequate protection?No. Street wear sunglasses are not designed to reduce the risk of eye injury from projectiles (ball, stick or bat). Sports eye guards are manufactured with polycarbonate plastic lenses and high-impact resistant frames and materials. Guards can be purchased with UV protection, anti-fog, anti-glare and anti-scratch coatings as well as prescription vision corrections.How do I go about purchasing an eye guard?Before purchasing a guard, schedule a visit with your eye doctor for a vision screening to identify any concerns, such as special protection for past injuries or need for vision correction. Next, only purchase and use eye guards that meet ASTM, ANSI, NOCSAE and PECC standards. These organizations have developed standards and guidelines for the manufacturing, maintenance and use of protective eye guards. You can think of this as the "Good Housekeeping Seal." Eye guards are available at local sporting goods and specialty sports stores and will be clearly marked with conformance to ASTM, ANSI, NOCSAE and PECC standards. Lastly, have an experienced ophthalmologist, optometrist or optician assist with the selection and fitting of the guard.Every month, the column "Ask UNF" runs in Inside and The Florida Times-Union, promoting the expertise of UNF faculty and staff. Next month's topic will focus on male body image. If you have a question about this topic, e-mail it to email@example.com.

McAfee to Appoint Michael DeCesare and Todd Gebhart as Co-Presidents
President David DeWalt Announces Intent to Resign
SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--McAfee today announced that it is creating an office of the president. By Q3 2011 Michael DeCesare and Todd Gebhart will assume the role of co-presidents, reporting directly to Renée James, Intel senior vice president and group general manager and chairman of McAfee subsidiary. DeCesare is currently executive vice president for global operations, and Gebhart is executive vice president and general manager, consumer, mobile and small business at McAfee.
"We had strong results, a record quarter and a great pipeline of innovation. We have a very strong foundation for the second half of 2011 and I look forward to serving on McAfee's Board of Directors."
McAfee also announced the resignation of President David DeWalt, who will continue as a non-employee member of the McAfee Board of Directors after serving the role of president for more than four years. As a director, he will provide strategic guidance and counsel to the more than 6,500 security experts that today comprise the world's largest dedicated security company as well as the global customer base.
"With the formation of the office of the president, we have two proven executives with long histories of accomplishment and leadership at McAfee," said James. "Intel continues to be very pleased with McAfee's performance in terms of both sales and innovation since the acquisition was announced last year. I appreciate Dave's many contributions to the company and look forward to continuing to work with him on the McAfee Board of Directors. We anticipate a smooth transition and I am confident that the incredibly talented people of McAfee will remain focused on innovation, delivering products and services that help make connecting to the digital world safer and more secure."
DeCesare joined McAfee in 2007 and most recently has been responsible for leading global operations, including manufacturing, facilities, travel and information technology, as well as worldwide sales, channels, sales engineering, consulting services and education services. Since joining McAfee in 2007, DeCesare has continued to fortify the expansion of McAfee sales around the globe, which has resulted in multiple quarters of double-digit revenue growth. He leads a team of more than 2,000 employees and is a critical driver in creating and executing the company's sales strategy.
Gebhart joined McAfee in 1999. His most recent role was developing and executing the partnership, retail and direct web sales strategy for the global expansion of the consumer, mobile and small business units. Under his leadership, the McAfee global consumer business achieved record sales and established significant partnerships with many leading PC makers, Internet service providers, telecommunications companies and financial services companies.
"I'll be leaving McAfee in great hands," said DeWalt. "We had strong results, a record quarter and a great pipeline of innovation. We have a very strong foundation for the second half of 2011 and I look forward to serving on McAfee's Board of Directors."

Authorities in the eastern Chinese province of Shandong have handed a 39-month jail term to the nephew of blind activist Chen Guangcheng, who is currently studying in New York, for "intentional injury," his father and lawyer said.
The sentence came after a trial that lasted four-and-a-half hours, and the family was informed only by telephone after the sentence was passed, Chen Guangfu, father of the defendant, Chen Kegui, said on Friday.
"I got a call from the lawyer appointed by the court this morning, but I haven't had any formal notification," Chen Guangfu said. "As Kegui's father, I should have had the right to attend the trial."
"At the very least, they should have notified me beforehand [that it would take place.] I have had nothing in writing," he added.
He said the family had received the news while getting ready to visit his own father's grave on the 10th anniversary of his death.
"We suddenly got this news," said Chen Guangfu, whose counter lawsuit aimed at making public the details of an attack on the family home by local officials was refused by a court in Yinan county last month.
Chen Guangfu says officials invaded his home and attacked his family following Chen Guangcheng's daring escape from more than 18 months of house arrest in Yinan county's Dongshigu village.
Chen Kegui has been detained since the allegedly brutal attack by local officials on his family home on April 27, although charges against him have been downgraded from "intentional homicide" to "intentional injury" in the wake of his uncle's highly publicized escape.
The raid on the family came when local officials—who had hired hundreds of local people to keep watch on Chen Guangcheng and his family—discovered the blind activist was nowhere to be seen, following his nighttime, solo escape in April from more than 18 months of house arrest.
Trial 'cover-up'
Chen Kegui's case has been shrouded in secrecy since Chen Guangcheng's arrival in the U.S. in May, with many lawyers reporting official harassment after they tried to advise or represent him.
Ding Xikui, the family-appointed lawyer for Chen Kegui who has been unable to see his client or review the case materials, accused the authorities of covering up the trial.
"They shouldn't try to hide things from the family," Ding said. "I don't know if it's deliberate, but if they don't inform the family, then it's a cover-up."
"At the very least they should inform the lawyer three days before the date of the trial."
Repeated calls to the officially-appointed lawyer went unanswered during office hours on Friday.
Held 'hostage'
Chen Guangcheng, now a visiting law student in New York, says that his nephew is being held "hostage" by the authorities to ensure his good behavior while overseas.
In an interview in August, Chen Guangfu said police and officials "illegally burst into my house on the night of April 26 and ruthlessly beat up me, my son Kegui, and Kegui's wife, who was wounded by the attackers."
He said the attackers were shouting to each other to beat his son to death, so his son picked up a kitchen knife in self-defense, injuring Zhang Jian, the head of Shuanghou township, and two other attackers.
Chen Guangcheng's daring escape from his closely guarded home and subsequent flight to the U.S. Embassy, where he sought refuge for nearly a week, came just ahead of annual strategic dialogues between U.S. and Chinese officials, prompting a diplomatic crisis and frantic behind-the-scenes negotiations.
The diplomatic crisis was defused after Chen Guangcheng was allowed to fly to New York, where he is now a special student at the U.S.-Asia Law Institute of New York University.
He has accused Beijing of failing to honor its pledge to investigate abuses that he and his family were subjected to in China.
The blind activist has said that he and his family experienced illegal detention and brutal beatings while under house arrest and that Beijing had promised him it would sack officials responsible for the mistreatment.

A focus group aiming to glean public input on improving east Burlington now has a name and a meeting place.
The city of Burlington announced this week that the East Burlington Community Workgroup will meet Thursday, March 7, at the Fairchild Community Center.
Residents and �stakeholders� in east Burlington communities are invited to attend the meeting, which will establish the focus group Mayor Ronnie Wall discussed forming at January�s city council meeting.
The idea was prompted by a resident-guided tour through east Burlington that Wall took, after the resident complained about the lack of effort Burlington put into cleaning up the east side of town.
�Each year we�re asked how we can better serve east Burlington,� Wall said, during the city council meeting.
He said a focus group format would allow east Burlington residents to create projects for their own neighborhoods, based on issues they experience firsthand, which the city council would then review.
Councilman Celo Faucette compared the meeting to a larger version of the neighborhood meetings the city councilmen attended in 2011, but is hoping for a larger turnout in March than is normally seen at the neighborhood meetings.
The meeting will take place at 6 p.m. on March 7. Fairchild Community Center is located at 827 S. Graham-Hopedale Road in Burlington. Questions can be directed to city Public Information Officer Rachel Hawley at 336-222-5076, or email@example.com.

I looked at this recipe and thought it sounded too sweet, but I went out and bought the ingredients anyway. I made pancakes for myself and my daughter and it was DELICIOUS! Not too sweet at all. I did use reduced calorie pie filling and low sugar orange juice. I'm already thinking of what I can use the remainder of the sauce on... ice cream, pound cake, etc.

Doug Tunnell B.A. '72 and his organic winery, Brick House Vineyard, received accolades from the New York Times in this travel feature.
After studying philosophy and international affairs at Lewis & Clark, Tunnell enjoyed an 18-year career as a CBS foreign correspondent in places such as Beirut, before returning to Oregon to start Brick House Vineyard.
"It's so provocative to work with fruit grown in these little tapestries of soil," Tunnell explained in this Chronicle feature. "Coming to understand how each of these microsites translates into wine is a big part of what I'm here to do."

For regulatory authorities, it is important to verify the adequacy of ageing management methods applied by licensees, based on reliable technical evidence. In order to achieve that goal, 14 NEA member countries joined the SCAP in 2006 to share knowledge. As of June 2009, 17 countries have joined the project .
The project focuses on two important safety issues: stress corrosion cracking and degradation of cable insulation, due to their relevance for plant ageing assessments and their implications on inspection practices.
The project's goal was to establish a complete database and also a knowledge base in these fields, to perform an assessment of the data and to identify the basis for commendable practices which would help regulators and operators enhance ageing management. The final report was produced in May 2010.
It was envisaged that the project's outcomes would be used by the member countries to evaluate how operating experience and state of the art technology are incorporated into plant operating practices, and to support regulatory authorities' reviews of ageing management programmes.
The objectives of the workshop were to:
The chairman of the Technical Programme Committee (TPC) was Dr. Masahide Suzuki, Deputy Director-General, Nuclear Safety Research Center, Japan Atomic Energy Agency, Japan.
The members of the organising committee were: Ms. Karen Gott (SSM, Sweden, SCC working group chair), Mr. Thomas Koshy (NRC, United States, Cable working group chair), Mr. Helmut Schulz (SCAP Consultant, Germany), Mr. Masanori Kanno (JNES, Japan) and Akihiro Yamamoto (NEA).
The proceedings of the workshop were published by the NEA. They are distributed free of charge to workshop participants and delegates to the CSNI.

I like carrot kinpira, but I got the idea for carrot ribbons from one of my favourite okowa shops near where I live - they use the carrot ribbons to fill in the gaps of their bento, and I think they're more efficient at for this than carrot matchsticks. Basically, I just used a carrot peeler to make long ribbons from a carrot, and then simmered them in about a tablespoon each of sake, sesame oil, and mirin, as per Maki's recipe.
That's a great idea, and much faster than kinpira to make I imagine!
The Big Onigiri.
- Wherever you go, there you are. -
Oh, I hadn't though of that - but now that you mention it - it was.
I have my own way of doing carrots that's similar to kinpira too - I like to steam the carrots, then dress them with a little sesame oil and some toasted sesame seeds. It's slower, but I like that it takes so little oil. And I steam most of my vegetables too - I don't have to pay so much attention to them and can do something else while they cook!
Thanks for posting your recipe, I'm going to try it next week!
I made these for my bento tomorrow. I have dressed them with sesame and nigella seed after cooking. Yummy yummy!!

Collision Leaves Giant Jupiter Bruised
This Hubble picture, taken on July 23, is the first full-disk natural-color image of Jupiter made with Hubble's new camera, the Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3). It is the sharpest visible-light picture of Jupiter since the New Horizons spacecraft flew by that planet in 2007. Each pixel in this high-resolution image spans about 74 miles (119 km) in Jupiter's atmosphere. Jupiter was more than 370 million miles (600 million km) from Earth when the images were taken.
The dark smudge at bottom right is debris from a comet or asteroid that plunged into Jupiter's atmosphere and disintegrated.
In addition to the fresh impact, the image reveals a spectacular variety of shapes in the swirling atmosphere of Jupiter. The planet is wrapped in bands of yellow, brown, and white clouds. These bands are produced by the atmosphere flowing in different directions at various latitudes. When these opposing flows interact, turbulence appears.
Such data complement the images taken from other telescopes and spacecraft by providing exquisite details of atmospheric phenomena. For example, the image suggests that dark "barges" – tracked by amateur astronomers on a nightly basis – may differ both in form and color from barge features identified by the Voyager spacecraft.

It is time to share some first impressions from the new Oculus Rift development kit after playing with it for a while already, sharing this a bit late due to the arrival of the DK2 coinciding with a planned vacation… a vacation without the Rift in the real world and not in the virtual one. I should note that the following first impressions from the second development kit are from someone that has used the first development kit quite a lot, so there will be a lot of comparing between the two. So let us get started…
Starting with what is new, the new Oculus Rift DK2 comes with a 1080p OLED display, something that was really needed in order to improve the level of detail that the older smaller resolution 1280×800 LCD display provided, especially considering the fact that due to the way that the Rift works you only get half of the resolution per eye and not the pixels of the whole screen are actually being used. The new Oculus Rift DK2 also comes with a new better looking design and a bit more complex setup as it includes an extra infrared only camera used to track the integrated active IR led markers in the headset. The headset weights slightly more as it has the external control box that the previous kit had (essentially the screen controller electronics) built inside in the DK2, but the few ore extra grams don't seem to be a problem. Another interesting improvement is that the new DK2 comes with only two sets of interchangeable lenses instead of the three that the first dev kit had, the lenses are slightly better in terms of optical performance and seem to be slightly larger, however the total FOV of the new DK2 seems to be about 10% smaller as compared to the 110 degrees available with the first dev kit.
The included web camera is something that we don't like that much. It seems to essentially be a standard web camera with a filter applied to the lens to block the visible light and pass only infrared light. The idea is to track the specially positioned IR leds inside the front and side parts of the headset and use that extra positional information to add extra sense of realism inside the virtual world. The idea is generally good, however the range that the camera operates in is very limited and if you start moving more you can quickly get out of the range and the extra functionality such as leaning or crouching in the virtual world as you do the same in the real world disappears. Other than that the camera tracking is probably used to also help fighting with the drift that the built in sensors for tracking head movement are prone to. The web camera tracking makes things more complex and limits your movements more than it gives you freedom and the advantages are actually not that much, so Oculus should probably think of alternatives to replace the camera-based tracking. If they want a device like the Oculus Rift to be successful and go mainstream it should be easy to setup and use and not complex to setup and use and limiting the experience of the users.
A few words about the display, it was a bit of a surprise to find the screen from a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 inside the Oculus Rift DK2. But it was probably not very easy for the company to find a good and small enough in size 1080p OLED display that will not cost a fortune and even though Oculus is now owned by Facebook the number of produced development kits is not so high as to get a screen specially developed for them. With that said the OLED display inside the new DK2 is definitely a serious improvement over the previously used LCD panel, though it is still not the perfect screen for the Rift. Resolution wise the new display is definitely a serious improvement, though you can still see the pixels zoomed though the lenses, so an even higher resolution screen is needed for the final consumer version in order to really polish the experience. The higher resolution however also causes some concerns about the need for more processing power from the graphics card of the computer used to power the Oculus Rift, so initially there will most likely be some compromise. If you were hoping the 1080p screen to be enough, then you will be left disappointed it is not enough when zoomed through the lenses and split between the two eyes.
What the new OLED display does pretty well, though not perfectly, is to almost eliminate the annoying and nausea inducing for many people motion blur while panning around. The low persistence OLED display does a great job, though we have noticed that in high contrasting scenes where you have dark objects surrounded by light background you can still see some motion blur. For example the standard Oculus demo the stairs inside the house or the trees outside by the wall – depending on the version of the demo you try. The version of the demo included with the SDK apparently is somewhat darker and in it the motion blur is noticeable when looking around the stairs and on the standalone version of the demo that is apparently brighter the motion blur is noticeable when looking around the trees outside. A bit of a disappointment, but not that bad actually to ruin the overall great experience that the bright and high resolution new OLED display provides.
The new lenses, only two sets, seem to offer better optical quality and somewhat different distortion. While the lenses are bigger the actual FOV you get is slightly reduced, but still more than great. The expectations that the larger lenses would also provide a larger sweet spot for viewing without seeing some chromatic aberrations caused by the distortion of the optics ended up in vain however, maybe this needs some more work on the software side responsible for the distortion of the images displayed that need to compensate for the distortion of the optics. The good side is that the standard lens works pretty well for people that are wearing prescription glasses and are nearsighted as if your glasses are not so strong you will most likely have no problem using them instead of having to wear the glasses. The same lens is for people that don't have problems with their vision and the second lens is for people with worse eyesight apparently, so it is like Oculus decided to "keep" the B and C lenses from the first dev kit in terms of capabilities.
The new DK2 comes with a new mode that may help greatly in the usability of the device as it can output directly to the display of the Rift the compatible applications without actually having the device as an extended or cloned display like you had to before that. This however will work only with applications compiled with the new versions of the SDK supporting the DK2 and since there are also quite a few other differences the applications designed for the DK1 should be updated to be properly used on the new development kit anyway. You can of course still use the Rift as an additional display available to ensure compatibility with older apps and to allow for more flexibility of the use of the device. The new Direct to Rift mode is a good example of the way Oculus should be moving – making things easier and working problem free from the user and not having to bother him with things like moving primary displays or having issues with Vsync and tearing… just open the application and it will automatically appear where it should be – on the display of the Rift.
With all of the above said the new Oculus Rift DK2 is definitely a nice improvement from the first development kit and if it is the first Rift that you get to try you will be really excited and pleasantly surprised from the experience. If you however have tried and used the first DK1 you may not be as excited from the improvements and changes even though they are not small, they are simply not enough to get the DK2 to the level of the product that should be offered to the end user. There is much more work needed to be done and we may need to get a 3rd version of the dev kit next year that will be closer to what the consumer version might be and expect an end user product probably by the end of next year of things continue to progress well.

The list of nominees for the 2012 Hall of Fame Class was released Wednesday, with some new names, old names, and guys you might have never heard of.
Picking the 10 best candidates out of 103 is a task only a tad easier than doing the power rankings. What makes narrowing the field challenging is taking into account each player, coach or contributor's impact on the league. As an NFL historian, I take it very seriously. Saying that Jerome Bettis is not deserving of top-10 status is not a whimsical statement. He was fantastic, but never the NFL's best running back.
While that bar might seem too high, gauging a player's Hall of Fame credentials lends itself to some tough scrutiny. Sterling Sharpe and Sam Mills got left behind. But the hardest cuts were former Atlanta tackle Mike Kenn and Buffalo's Mr. Do-It-All, Steve Tasker. Tasker, the greatest special-teamer of all-time, made it to 11th, getting beat by a player who also had his initial success on special teams.
10. Tim Brown - Raiders wide receiver (1988-2003); Buccaneers (2004)
Tim Brown's career started as a wide receiver with long-term potential, although he was an explosive kick returner right out of the gate. The potential came to fruition as No. 81 recorded nine consecutive 1,000-yard seasons, and became the first wideout to lead the AFC in receiving yards for three consecutive seasons (1993-95). Consider Brown to be the NFL's version of a baseball Hall of Famer. He hit some huge milestones, similar to getting 3,000 hits or 500 home runs. The all-time Raiders great finished his career with more than 1,000 catches, more than 100 touchdowns, and nearly 20,000 all-purpose yards. He's a member of the NFL's All-Decade team of the 1990s.
9. Dermontti Dawson - Steelers Center (1988-2000)
Dermontti Dawson replaced a legend in Mike Webster, and then became one himself. The starting center on the 1990s All-Decade Team took a few years to become an elite player, but once he did, there was no one better. Dawson was not only a Pro Bowl player, but was named first-team All-Pro six consecutive seasons from 1993-1998. Ultimately, hamstring and knee problems derailed the last two seasons of his illustrious career, but Dawson was so effective in his prime that no Steelers player has worn his No. 63 since he hung 'em up.
8. Gil Brandt - Cowboys Personnel Executive (1960-1989)
Gil Brandt might not be the biggest name on the list, but he's the right name. As the lone "Contributor" to make the top 10, he was also a lone wolf, using computers to advance the scouting process in the mid-1960s. Brandt's desire to be ahead of the curve often led him to help Tom Landry and the Cowboys acquire future All-Pros in strange places. Six-time Pro Bowl safety Cliff Harris was uncovered at Oauchita Baptist while newly minted Ring of Honor member Drew Pearson was a free agent out of the University of Tulsa. Long recognized as one of the most respected personnel men in league history, Brandt's draft direction helped build five Super Bowl teams from the ground up. (AP Photo/NFL Photos)
7. Terrell Davis - Broncos Running Back (1995-2001)
Terrell Davis was not a small-school gem that the likes of Gil Brandt had to find. But it was his special teams play and work in camp that caught Mike Shanahan and his coaching staff's attention in 1995. The sixth-round draft choice wasn't supposed to be a workhorse back, but became the NFL's elite rusher in the late 1990s with 6,413 yards in four seasons. Yes, injuries cut his career short, but no back has ever had a better two-year period than Davis in 1997 and 1998, when he won Offensive Player of the Year, the NFL MVP, Super Bowl MVP, and became the third player to rush for more than 2,000 yards in a single season. Dominance in a finite period is just as impressive -- and important -- as being good over the long haul. Davis was at his best against great opponents, and that's the measure of a Hall of Fame player.
6. Don Coryell - Cardinals Head Coach (1973-1977); Chargers head coach (1978-1986)
The definition of a Hall of Famer is often hard to capture with a stat, a great game, or even career accomplishments. So how about legacy? Don Coryell modernized the passing game, taking the tenets of AFL coaching legend Sid Gillman and tweaking them with the likes of a pass-route numbering system that created the most prolific offenses in the mid-1970s (Cardinals) and early 1980s (Chargers.) Many fans are aware of Dan Fouts, Kellen Winslow, and the ridiculously productive "Air Coryell" attack in San Diego. But few realize that the three-time Super Bowl champion Cowboys of the 1990s essentially ran his offense. The coaching legend was no less than an all-time innovator.
5. Cortez Kennedy - Seahawks Defensive Tackle (1990-2000)
If there is one guy on this list of 10 certain Hall of Famers who just flat out kicked ass, it's Cortez Kennedy. You could make the argument that the best player in pro football in 1992 played defensive tackle on a 2-14 team. While the Seahawks were awful, their third-year defensive tackle out of the University of Miami was unblockable. He had 14 sacks and four forced fumbles from the interior line. How about being named Defensive Player of the Year on a two-win team that featured Dan McGwire and Stan Gelbaugh at quarterback? Oh, and by the way, Kennedy went to eight Pro Bowls and was named to the NFL's 1990s All-Decade Team.
4. Willie Roaf - Saints Tackle (1993-2001); Chiefs (2002-2005)
How do you know when a guy is good? Well, if he's an offensive lineman, it's when you don't hear his name. Willie Roaf didn't get called for too many penalties, nor did he get beat often by the defensive end across from him. As if being an 11-time Pro Bowl selection isn't enough of a credential to get air-mailed into the Hall of Fame, consider that he walked away from the game having made four straight as a member of a Chiefs offense that featured Trent Green, Priest Holmes and Larry Johnson in their primes. Essentially, Roaf never struggled in pro football in a 13-year career filled with accolades, like the All-Decade team of the 1990s and 2000s. He came, he saw, he won.
3. Cris Carter - Eagles Wide Receiver (1987-1989); Vikings (1990-2001); Dolphins (2002)
It's embarrassing that Cris Carter isn't in the Hall of Fame. Forget that he's an eight-time Pro Bowl selection. Forget the fact that he has 1,101 catches, which is third all-time behind Jerry Rice and Marvin Harrison. Instead, think about the quality of those catches. How many of those were shoestring grabs, clutch plays to pick up a third-and-eight? How about the fact that 130 of those catches went for touchdowns? From 1995-99 he caught a whopping 65 touchdown passes -- that's 13 per season. There's a good reason he and Rice were the starters on the NFL's All-Decade Team of the 1990s. It's because he was real good. Hall of Fame good.
2. Charles Haley - 49ers Linebacker-Defensive End (1986-1991, 1998-1999); Cowboys (1992-1996)
Charles Haley had two careers, either of which are Hall of Fame-worthy. One, he was a speed-rushing linebacker who played the "Elephant" position in George Seifert's 49ers defense, racking up 63.5 sacks in six seasons. Then he became one of the most disruptive players in pro football as a defensive end in Dallas, making a solid Cowboys team dominant, en route to three Super Bowl wins in four seasons. At the end of an underrated career, Haley had 100.5 sacks. Not bad. That tells part of the story. His five Super Bowl rings (the most ever), and seven championship game appearances tell another: a Hall of Fame legacy.
1. Bill Parcells - Giants (1983-1990); Patriots (1993-1996); Jets (1997-2000); Cowboys (2003-2006)
Saying Bill Parcells belongs in the Hall of Fame is like ... ah, forget it. There's no cliché to insert here because nothing about Parcells is cliché', or sexy, for that matter. All he's about, and all he's done, is win ... at every stop. He took a mediocre Giants franchise to two Super Bowls and won them both. The "Tuna" changed the culture of a downtrodden franchise in New England, and had it in the Super Bowl after four seasons. The Jets were the worst team in the NFL in 1996. By 1998, Parcells was coaching them in the AFC Championship Game. In Dallas, a club that won 15 games in three seasons won 10 its first year with the old coach at the helm. Parcells developed the careers of so many, from Phil Simms, Lawrence Taylor and Bill Belichick, to Curtis Martin, DeMarcus Ware and Tony Romo. He's a legend, and a certifiable shoo-in for the Hall.

VANCEBORO � It was a festive afternoon in Vanceboro as folks lined up to receive a turkey, pecans, sweet potatoes and canned goods at the Main Street�s Ice Cream Caf� downtown.
VANCEBORO � It was a festive afternoon in Vanceboro as folks lined up to receive a turkey, pecans, sweet potatoes and canned goods at the Main Street�s Ice Cream Caf� downtown.
It has become an annual event, which started six years ago. Vanceboro football player Anthony Wright began the event.
Wright has played for the Pittsburgh Steelers, Dallas Cowboys, Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals and New York Giants, but he could not attend Wednesday�s event.
His mother, Donna Wright, said her son is living in Charlotte where he is raising his three children and is mentoring student athletes.
�He sent his sentiments. He is glad to help those in need of a helping hand and hopes this act of kindness will make Christmas merrier with their families,� she said.
Cheryl Wallace said she had six family members to feed.
�This is certainly going to help,� she said.
Febra Coley has participated in the distribution since it began. �It is so helpful,� she said.
�This is so nice,� said Lovie Strickland. �I participate each year, every time to be sure to eat.�
Vanceboro Mayor Chad Braxton attended the opening ceremony before the food was distributed.
�The town of Vanceboro is fortunate to have the Wright family to help for those less fortunate,� said Braxton, who graduated high school with Wright. �He (Anthony Wright) has not forgotten where he came from. He was grounded in high school and is a role model.�
Donna Wright said her son did not make all the contributions. �After all, he isn�t in the NFL anymore,� she said.
She said Kite�s Supermarket, Sara Lee Bakery, the Adult Bible Verse Learning Class, Wilson Home Care, Vanceboro Christian Health Care and the Female Pastor Alliance all made the event possible.
The folks at the caf� also collected Toys for Tots and distributed them Wednesday.
�This is a wonderful time of the year to help,� said Donna Wright.

Paula Broadwell, a woman who was romantically involved with former CIA Director David Petraeus, will not face federal charges of cyberstalking another woman friendly with Petraeus.
The U.S. Attorney's Office in Tampa informed Broadwell's attorney Robert Muse of the decision in a brief letter dated December 14.
"As the target of our investigation, we believe that it is appropriate to advise your client that our office has determined that no federal charges will be brought" regarding allegations of cyberstalking, Assistant U.S. Attorney W. Stephen Muldrow wrote.
Muse told CNN he was "very pleased that the U.S. Attorney's office in Tampa very promptly resolved this matter."
A source close to Broadwell said the letter had been received Monday.
"She's pleased with the prosecutor's decision and glad it's been resolved," the source told CNN.
Petraeus resigned November 9 after revealing that he'd been involved in an extramarital affair.
U.S. officials said the FBI discovered Petraeus was involved with Broadwell, a woman who was under investigation for sending allegedly harassing and anonymous emails to Jill Kelley, a Tampa socialite who was friendly with Petraeus and his wife.
Sources close to Kelley said she had not been romantically involved with Petraeus.
During the investigation the FBI obtained Broadwell's computer and discovered she had classified materials. Investigators also searched Broadwell's home in North Carolina. Sources said the materials were technically classified but not highly sensitive. Still the FBI and Justice Department prosecutors have not resolved whether Broadwell will face charges for having such materials in her personal possession.
Sources close to Broadwell acknowledged that issue has not been resolved.
Broadwell, 40, wrote a biography of Petraeus, a retired general who led U.S. forces in Iraq and later in Afghanistan. A former Army reservist, Broadwell's security clearance was suspended after details surfaced about her possessing classified materials.
During the investigation it also came to light that Kelley and Army Gen. John Allen were exchanging emails, some of which might have been considered inappropriate. That matter was turned over to the Pentagon's inspector general for investigation.

|Club Kayden
|Kayden Kross is one of those flawless light-haired babes, the type that most of us can only dream about. But if you join the club, you get a chance to mingle with her, and ogle over those gloriously sizeable milk jugs. Intro promises: Club Kayden is the official internet site of blonde faloosie Kayden Kross. Though she's only 25 years old, she's already accomplished quite a bit in and out of the industry. In addition to her leading roles in several hit adult videos and her stint as Penthouse Pet of the Month, you may also recognize her from her appearances in a couple of sweet reality TV shows. But when Kayden isn't occupied on location, she likes to maintain her internet-site. So far as I can tell, the main club activities are sucking and shugging and looking altogether steamy for the cam. The content previewed looked choice, and the preview promised 100% original content, free live shows, and full access to the Brand Danger net.
