Did you know that there are over 215 million people living in the world now in a country other than the one they were born in? This is larger than the population of Brazil, and almost triples what the number of global migrants was in 1990. People move for different reasons -- economic opportunity, security, and family -- to different places. But despite these differences, many maintain close connections in their countries of origins.
Diaspora means "to scatter" in Greek, but today we use the term to describe a community of people who live outside their shared country of origin or ancestry but maintain active connections with it. A diaspora includes both emigrants and their descendants.
The Global Diaspora Forum (GDF) is an annual celebration of the potential of diaspora communities in development and diplomacy. The gathering challenges diaspora communities to create new partnerships with the private sector, civil society, and public institutions in order to make their engagements with their countries of origin more effective, scalable, and sustainable. The third annual GDF is going global with multi-city events continuing through and culminating in simultaneous live-streamed events from Washington, D.C.; Dublin, Ireland; and Silicon Valley, CA on Tuesday, May 14, 2013.
The focus of this year's GDF is on youth engagement and will feature high-level speakers from government agencies as well as celebrity diasporans, including Ethiopian supermodel Liya Kebede; USA Today's Christine Brennan; Olympic medalist and diplomat Michelle Kwan; Olympic marathoner Mebrahtom Keflezighi; and James Ihedigbo of the Baltimore Ravens.
If you would like to attend the forum, and are an active user of Twitter, Facebook, and Google+ and follow the Department of State on social media, you can apply for the GDF Meetup. Just fill out this form by Thursday, May 9, 2013, at 6:00 p.m. EDT. Invitations are non-transferable and we cannot accommodate guests of those selected.
The Department of State will contact applicants via email with additional instructions for those selected to attend. If you are selected, you will be notified no later than Friday, May 10, 2013.

From Pushing Tissues to Sharing Caring
May 23, 2012
Using our newly-improved, softer tissue as an impetus, we re-framed Kleenex from a tissue to a Gesture of Caring, enabling over 1,000,000 people to share it and show their loved ones they cared. We significantly exceeded our sales and share goals, grew the stagnant facial tissue category and, moreover, changed the game for Kleenex.

Stocks Post First Weekly Slump in July
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- U.S. stock markets posted their first weekly decline in July as investors balked at surpassing the 1,700 level on the S&P 500 , unsure about the strength of the U.S. economic recovery and the Federal Reserve 's commitment to maintain its stimulus program.
The S&P 500 turned positive in the final minutes of Friday's trading as it increased 0.08% to 1,691.65 but slipped 0.03% for the week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.02% to 15,559.20, and added 0.1% for the week. The Nasdaq finished up 0.22% at 3,613.16 and up 0.22% for the five-day trading period.
"For me, it has been and will continue to be all about the Fed and its willingness to continue $85 billion per month of MBS

Next week, the Federal Reserve begins a two-day policy meeting as investors await the widely-watched U.S. government non-farm payrolls report for July, scheduled to be published on Friday. The government will also released its advance estimate of second-quarter U.S. gross domestic product on Wednesday.
Pento added that there's a potential for downside risks no matter the outcome of key U.S. data next week and therefore advises investors to sell into the resumption of a rally.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: You will never find friendlier marshals!In full: First time doing the race; as a former ORR I spent the previous years volunteering. It's true what they say about the marshals, those yellow shirts make everyone feel special and have a whale of a time in the process!It's a tough run but that makes it all the more satisfying for having done it. Forget about a PB for this one and embrace this little gem.Very minor comment; I like to see a male urinal at races as it really takes the pressure off portaloos. It didn't affect me but the queues were getting quite long in the leadup to the race.Well done ORR!Date of review: June 17, 2015
In short: Brilliant community atmosphere and a smooth raceIn full: The whole morning was brilliant and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The race was well marshalled and the road crossings all seemed fine. The water at the end and the grub in the goody bags was much appreciated.A couple of minor points. The school loos couldn't really handle the volume nor were they signposted as well as perhaps they might have been. The race was an early sellout but it wasn't obvious on the front page of the website, which led to people turning up and moaning. Nothing to detract from the day though and I would certainly do it again.Date of review: October 23, 2014
In short: Surely one of Kent's finest races and a great day outIn full: Well organised with gorgeous scenery and friendly updates from the race director in the run up to the day. The route is relatively challenging and although the temperature was cooler this year the ground conditions give you a mix of hard, uneven terrain, slippy shallow mud, grass and a bit of road.It's a great day out with beer, cakes and a brass band at the end. Sunday was my 4th outing so that surely speaks volumes about how much I rate this run.Very minor criticisms: A couple of more loos at race HQ probably would have went down well, and the t-shirt was quite average. I've got so many of the things now that I prefer no t-shirt at all over one that won't get worn. It's still good value and absolutely will not stop me coming back again though.Date of review: July 7, 2014
In short: Deserving of its reputationIn full: I'm no stranger to hilly trail runs and I was aware of the comments regarding the difficulty of this course, but this was still a toughie in the blazing heat.This event is well organised, the atmosphere is great, the marshalls were fab and the music, tea and cakes at the end just add to the incredible charm of this run.If you keep your head up some of the scenery on this route will make your jaw drop. This is a special one.Date of review: June 22, 2014
In short: results not published? how bizarreIn full: The organisers do their best but the logistics are clearly challenging. Runners and spectators face long walks for transport but the buses are speedy and plentiful. The course was fine although quite windy this year. Crowd support was very good. What was hugely disappointing was the organiser's decision not to publish results. This is just bizarre for a large running race (the website states clearly that the event is not a fun run). Not in the spirit of the sport at all and a big black mark against the event. Date of review: May 27, 2014
In short: Charming local affair that made for an excellent morningIn full: I'm glad I entered in advance as for the first time this race sold out. I'm not surprised as surely its reputation for being a great event finally reached enough ears.The course is great and it was surprising to find so much 'rural' land in the middle of a built-up area. The ground conditions were dry but quite challenging but that's my type of race.This event ran like clockwork despite what appeared to be a quite modest event team. A great run and I would definitely recommend it.Date of review: May 5, 2014
In short: A very special and humble event deserving of a visitIn full: This was my third time at the Darent Valley 10k and it's a great little run through country lanes and little villages with very respectable crowd support for the size of the event. There are a couple of hills to contend with so not the quickest of courses but it's the atmosphere of this race that makes it so special.Well done to the organisers and volunteers. Putting in extra effort to protect runners from the potholes at the start really showed you guys care about putting on a good run.Date of review: April 7, 2014
In short: Fairly poor organisation - smelled very much like the work of non-runnersIn full: A small pub is not a great HQ for a race expecting around 400 runners (limit 500), all of whom have to pick their number up on race day. The volume of people made it difficult to get to number pickup and to bag drop and large queues formed outside. To their credit the organisers delayed the start of the race in acknowledgement of the inadequate setup.The lack of a megaphone or PA system meant that the instructions at the start were inaudible. At least there was a klaxxon available to start the race.Loos were just about sufficient but the portaloos were tucked away and not signposted which led to them being underutilised whilst the pub and public toilets were overutilised.The course was pleasant enough on quiet country roads. Pretty flat course but more like 50-60 meters of climbing rather than the advertised '6'.Marshalls on the course were friendly but the HQ volunteers were a bit snotty. I assume this was because they were feeling the pressure.Below average value. I expect much better for £15. I've been to local races organised by running clubs for a couple of quid that would put this one to shame. Wouldn't do it again.Date of review: February 23, 2014
In short: Great fun in a popular parkIn full: Second time I've done this one and I'm surprised it doesn't fill up each time as it's a great local event. It's hard work but the course is interesting and challenging. Beckenham are a friendly, welcoming club too and the marshalls were brilliant.Date of review: November 10, 2013
In short: Friendly and organised - the two most important things for meIn full: Well organised and friendly race with a good atmosphere. We were fortunate with a nice day and although it's on roads they were mostly quiet with patient drivers. Not a quick course but good for teaching those who go out too fast a thing or two.Date of review: October 6, 2013

As much as pilots like hanging out with pilots, the fact is that in every population group, there is a small percentage that the larger percentage wish just wasn't there. One of my favorite questions for folks I fly with is, "Who's the worst captain you've ever flown with?" I ask this in part just for my own entertainment, but also because sometimes you can learn something from the stories.
As you might expect, certain names tend to be fairly common, making up what I call the short list. When I was a first officer, there were four or five, maybe 10, names that every FO wanted to avoid. That hasn't changed much. Sometimes, a name comes up that others are surprised to hear.
When I was flying the right seat, I got stuck flying with a fellow for five days—my first five-day trip. By the end of the second day, I wanted to tar, feather, and set him on fire. We just didn't get along. He was arrogant, cocky, and totally dismissive of any suggestions from someone who wasn't…him. At least, that was how he presented himself to me. Others were shocked. Then again, other pilots complained about captains whom I would have been willing to fly with every day. Go figure.
But the one on my short list was also an owner of one of the out-of-nowhere airline pilot training schools that sprung up in the nineties. He quit to go to work for the school full time, and a few years later, one day after taking $80-100 thousand dollar deposits from several students, they shut the doors. It was an evil thing to do, and I hope he's in jail for it. If he isn't, I sure hope I never have to fly with him again…because I won't.
But the list of those captains that people don't like is so predictable that, as an FO begins to tell me a story, I can write the name down of who I think it is, show him the paper, and be right most of the time. The obvious question is, "What makes these guys so bad?" In a word, it is certain eccentricities. There is usually one trait that becomes overbearing to other crew members.
For instance, one was notorious for wanting certain numbers interpolated to make them as exact as possible. It was a ridiculous task; it wasn't approved (nor required) by the FAA or the company; and it drove FOs nuts. Another would file ASAP reports over the most mundane items. The chart has a typo? ASAP report! Can't read the mechanics' writing? ASAP report! Another simply didn't handle certain distractions well, would get flustered, then stutter.
A lot of times, it comes down to trust. If a captain is not a confident individual—and by that I mean if he doesn't really trust his own ability to do his job well or his knowledge of it—he will trust the FO even less and scream and yell and carry on whenever the FO so much as sneezes. The biggest source of contention among FOs is the captain who claims to be standard and fly by the book, and then proceeds to list a series of "except for…" statements. You're either standard, or you aren't.
One was unpopular because all he did was break wind…the smelly kind. One would insist on eating tuna out of a can. One gave so many PA speeches it's a wonder he had time to fly. But all were easy to fly with, and were good pilots and otherwise well liked. It's the ones who come across as not-so-good that make you shake your heads.
I've been on the jumpseat of other airlines, and similar stories have come up. A name gets mentioned, and everyone on the flight deck knows who the individual is. Sometimes that notoriety is good to have, but other times…not so much.
The disappointing thing as a captain is to find out an FO you flew with has turned into one of the guys nobody likes. That makes me feel like I did not do as much as I could have to help mentor that individual. But the fact is that some guys are just destined to be on the short list, and sometimes it's very predictable. Other times it isn't, and when it isn't, you try to explain how easy the guy or gal was to fly with when they were FOs, and you have to really argue your point. All you can do is sigh.
But one my favorite captains once said to me when I was a new hire, "You will learn far more about how to be a good captain from the (unmentionable name goes here) than you will from the good guys. The good guys make it appear so easy and fun because that's what it should be. The (unmentionable name again goes here) just show you how to make life miserable." Truer words were never spoken.—Chip Wright

Top Down Bottom Up Shades & Blinds
- Combine privacy and light control
- Lower from top and raise from bottom
- Versatile light control all around
- Corded styles operate with 2 cords
- Cordless styles allow pull as desired
Top down bottom up shades are most commonly used to allow natural light into the room while still maintaining privacy from the street. Position top down bottom up blinds as fully open, fully drawn, or any combination in between with the operation of independent top and bottom rails. For increased child and pet safety, choose cordless top down/bottom up to simply maneuver your shades with handles at the top and bottom. For very tall or hard to reach windows, consider standard top down bottom up lift cords instead of cordless for reachability.

"Kitchen Windows"
By catemcc from West Greenwich, RI
Love these blinds!! We feel it was well worth the extra cost to get quality. No cords, no gizmos to get in the way. Smooth handling up & down. Installation was ridiculously simple. Our main window is 65" wide & there was no need for a middle support bracket (sweet). Thin profile & tight fit helps these blinds blend nicely with our window trim. Shades do a nice job of blocking the harsh sun in wintertime without any gaps or peek-boo-holes. Just perfect.View this product

Skip to comments.2009 GOP Senate-House Dinner- (Jon Voight emceed- his remarks were sensational ..MUST see!)
Posted on 06/08/2009 9:26:27 PM PDT by STARWISE
2009 GOP Senate-House Dinner
Addressing tonights 2009 GOP Senate-House Dinner, Fmr. House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-GA) will likely stress the GOPs role as a reform party. Other speakers at the annual fundraising dinner include Senate Min. Leader Mitch McConnell (KY) and House Min. Leader John Boehner (OH), among others. Actor Jon Voight emcees the event.
"Certainly, at the outset, the democrats fulfilled their mission to paint President Bush as a war monger. And once they were able to reach out to the youth in colleges, on the internet with this lie, painting him as the evil one, never giving him credit for keeping us safe .. once they established that, then it would be easy to bring in The One, as Oprah Winfrey crowned him.
Im also ashamed to say that Hollywood was a big part of tearing down President Bush."
VIDEO - GOP SENATE-HOUSE DINNER, Jon Voight Emcees
Jon Voight's closing remarks - also fabulous
Actor Jon Voight, who hosted the dinner, delivered a particularly harsh rebuke to Obama, saying he was "embarrassed" by the president and that Obama's leadership would cause the "downfall" of the country.
"We are becoming a weak nation," he said, calling Obama a "false prophet" and his administration the "Obama oppression."
Republican leaders who spoke afterward praised his comments. "You're great. Come back any time," Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky said. Gingrich called Voight's comments a rallying cry until the next elections in 2010.
~~Jon Voight threw pounds of red meat to the Pubbies. They better pick up the gauntlet he threw down .. pass it on!
(And he still makes me swoony .. ;)
The tenor Orin Hatch introduced, Steve Amerson, is incredible.
The pubbies were pathetic compared to Voight in the segment that preceded chow time. It was a shame. While they may be intelligent, they're depressing to watch knowing what's at stake.
HOORAY John Voight! (Besides, I always identifed with your character more than Ratso)
Contrast and compare. According to the AP, they didn't raise the amount of funds some expected. Good move, GOP. I guess you should have gone with Palin after all.
Thanks for posting.
"GOPs role as a reform party."
Yep, our turn to be the party of change.
Yeah, that was excellent. AND he actually included Rush...woooo. I wish the Pubbies would listen to this, listen to VP Cheney, LISTEN TO RUSH, and MAN UP!
My pleasure .. ;)
bump for later
Awesome, thank God someone is speaking the truth and speaking for all of us.
A must watch C-Span video.
The comments at the Voight "closing remarks" site are so revealing of Obomba voters.....what morons.
Jon Voight was awesome! God bless the man.
I'm seeing some real hope. We are in a huge battle.
All of us must do our part to get rid of the Demons who infest our wonderful United States of America.
" Listening to his speech, I thought the applause was light ans hesitant for his pithy comments. "
Maybe they were afraid the cameras would catch them clapping wildly and then be accused of being a racist on Tuesday morning !
WOW...Rush is lookin' good....I worry about Mark....his heart and all...
Wow! Rush is gonna need a smaller suit soon.
Yes, it is.
Check out STARWISE's links to videos in #1
Thanks for the ping!
Good for Rush! May he live many long, happy years. :o)
Good for Rush! May he live many long, happy years. :o)
From your lips to the ear of God ... we need Rush!
Great patriot Jon Voight.
Great Ping Starwise.
Thanks precious FRiend!!!!!
P.S. e-mailing this thread/post to friends & family.

Thank you so much for sending good ol Rush's speech hon!
Calling Jon Voight...
Video of Jon Voight speaking to Gold and Blue Star Families in support of the troops in St. Paul, MN on September 1, 2008. God bless him .. God bless and protect our troops.
GREAT photo of the two of them.
She's an incredible person and a great leader and she's arriving on the scene when we really need her.
Woops. I thought I was responding to a comment on a Sarah Palin thread.
It's a damn shame that, to many of those attending that dinner, Voigt's words must have sounded like a foreign language....
Thanks for the post! I LOVE Jon Voight!!! He is never afraid to speak the truth!!
can't wait to hear it, later.
WOW, the last pic I saw of RUsh, from very recently, really put a fear into me.....he looked HUGE! And it wasn't that long ago! How'd he lose so much weight?
Yeah, Mark should lose weight too.
Watched brief coverage of this this AM on CNN.
First, they had a misspelled tag (or whatever it is called) on the screen during the Voight clip. It said "Obama False Profit". They showed it two different times before someone caught it and replaced "profit" with "prophed". Idiots.
Then, after the clip, John Roberts (I think that's his hame— guy that looks like a hammerhead shark) put on an act of being absolutely stunned by Voight's words, as if oight had said something along the lines of "Obama sneaked into my house and stole my blood in the middle of the night." I guess for Hammerhead it is just inconceivable that anyone can possibly see Benito Obama for the dictator that he is.
Since I've had my pic taken with Mark Levin, I can attest to the fact that he's about 6 or 6'1" - which I didn't realize either until actually seeing him. MARK STAND TALLER - YOU ARE AN INCREDIBLE PERSON - STAND TALL AND PROUD... He's humble and slumps. Isn't that always the case with those that have the most to stand tall about?
Oops! Prophed = Prophet.
Great! Now I look like an idiot, too.
Class act.
I just thought that they misspelled it again....shows you that it would be more believable for CNN to make a mistake before you would ;-)
...shows you that it would be more believable for CNN to make a mistake before you would ;-)
Well, I guess some among the other 400 people who were actually watching CNN this morning may have caught the error as well.
He's lost about 60 lbs in 3-4 months...on a special "diet" that he says he can follow for the rest of his life....briefly mentioned it one day...said it was too hard to explain, other than he's satisfied, and losing weight....sounded more like a "diet" for HIM and his nutritional needs....

I like it also, & am thankful for advice because I feel I am not getting the most out of an excellent tea.
Returning to the same tea I infused 3 x last night, I then had 2 infusions at 20 seconds, followed by 1 at 30, & 2 last infusions at 60.
I feel I am closer to what is best for me. I very well might not be using the best pot.
Believe it or not, after drinking about 15 ounces of oolong this morning, I started a p.m. session w/ Competition Dong Ding 2010 from Origin. I won't tire out teachatters w/ all of my trial infusions. I did use much more tea than I would have used w/o good advice w/ timing still needing work.
This Dong Ding is the 1st that I like (had 2 or 3 others). On the 4th infusion & enjoying the tea's transitions a lot. Very nice.

'Bye Bye Birdie' to be presented March 15-16
SILVER CREEK – "Bye Bye Birdie," the musical being readied at Silver Creek Central School for presentation on March 15-16, promises to live up to its "bright, sassy and thoroughly delightful" reputation.
The brisk moving plot concerns the romance of a composer-publisher-agent and his secretary, plus the drafting of his rock 'n roll star into the Army. In a gigantic publicity stunt they all descend on a small Ohio town and proceed to turn it upside down. The results are hilarious and musically rewarding.
The show features such hit songs as "Put on a Happy Face," "Kids," "One Boy," and "A Lot of Livin' to Do." "Bye Bye Birdie" was first seen in New York at the Martin Beck Theater in April 1960. Rachel Curtin directs an all-star talented cast of 40 student performers and crew: Albert- Ed Gallivan Jr., Rose- Sonya Bayba, Conrad Birdie- Philip Hansen, Mrs. Mae Peterson- Megan Stoll, Mr. Harry MacAfee- Andrew Sweetman, Kim MacAfee- Emily Wright, Hugo Peabody- Daniel Sweetman, Mrs. Doris MacAfee- Brooke Birner, Randolph MacAfee- Sean Marchant, Ursula Merkle- Samantha Taddio, Helen- Marikate Gallivan, Deborah Sue- Irene Klemens, Reporter/Policeman- Michael Miller, Mayor/Bartender- James Gardner, Mrs. Merkle-Savannah Granata, Alice- Cheyenne Lawton, Mr. Johnson-Devlin Dillon, Harvey Johnson-Trevor Cole, Ed Sullivan-Jack McAlevey, and Gloria Rasputin-Hannah Jopek.
The Teen Chorus/Conrad Birdie fan club is an exuberant group of middle school students and features: Gabby Rivera, Kennedy Parks, Samantha Page, Ryan Smith, Alexa Urbaniak, Krystel Schwab, Sabrina Schenk, Taylor Farley, Christopher Pelz, Riley Wilson and Jon McDaneld.
Stage Crew is led by teacher Jane Gens with students Emily Berek, Meghan Gallivan, Hailey Grover, Tristan Pacifici, John Restaino and artistic design and production provided by teacher Paul Abate and students Ben Hogg, Kameron Kovel and Ed Gallivan.
Juniors Jade Lewis and Allison Harford provide costume and student direction support. The production is supported by Mr. Wieloszynski the Silver Creek faculty, staff and administration, local businesses and parents as well as the Brocton music department and resident Steve Mawhir.
Performances will be given nightly at 7:30 p.m. on March 15 and March 16 in the district Auditorium. General Admission Tickets are available at the door and presale in the Middle and High School offices for $8 adult and $5 student/senior citizens. Check the school website www.silvercreekschools.org for more information.

Once in awhile, we like to shake things up a little and give you a Photo of the Day that's, well, a little out of the ordinary. Hence the flying car image we found on the Lists o' Plenty WordPress blog (http://listsoplenty.com/blog/?p=11038).
According to the author:
"The ConvAirCar was designed by the American Industrial designer Henry Dreyfuss for the aviation company Consolidated-Vultee. This was a re-engined development of the Model 116, designed by Theodore P. Hall. The ConvAirCar debuted in 1947, and offered one hour of flight and a petrol mileage of 45 miles per gallon. Unfortunately a crash which occurred only 3 weeks after its first flight, and the resulting negative media quickly put any potential investors and customers off the project."—Jill W. Tallman

High Street Brewery
Established: November 1988
2014 Brewery Production: 123 batches • 1465.50 kegs • 181,722 pints
High Street, a Eugene favorite since 1988, is patronized by a devout community of BIG beer lovers. To satisfy their particular thirsts, brewer Hanns Anderson creates a multitude of special strong ales as well as popular company standards and seasonals in McMenamins' only truly subterranean brewery.
High Street is also home of the Mid Valley Brew Fest, a showcase of Eugene breweries and regional craft breweries held every September. High Street captured the taste buds of the Capital City Homebrewers, and thus the 2012 Barley Cup with Charlton Fulton's "Cairngorm's Courage." In addition to the cup, High Street won the right to represent McMenamins at the 17th Annual Holiday Ale Festival in Portland.

Chart of the Day: how fund managers voted on pay
The results are in. This is how 20 of the UK's biggest fund managers voted on executive pay during early 2012's "shareholder spring". It's no surprise to see firms like the Co-op racking up the 'no' votes here, but other serial rebels, such as State Street Global Advisers, have kept a lower profile until now.
The table has been compiled by the organisation FairPensions, a campaign group that champions socially-responsible investment. It shows the differing approaches taken by fund managers to the remuneration question, by examining their votes at 10 selected AGMs earlier this year.
FairPensions said it picked out these 10 companies - Rolls-Royce, BP, Barclays, Prudential, Trinity Mirror, William Hill, Aviva, WPP, Cairn Energy and Pendragon - because their pay reports failed at least one of FairPensions' four criteria for how it thinks company management should be paid.
The campaign group said: "Some of these companies' AGMs were controversial; some were not ... this chart highlights some inconsistencies both within and between asset managers in their approach to acceptable remuneration practice."
By picking out these firms, FairPensions has focused in on the comparatively small number of companies that suffered significant shareholder rebellions. As KPMG pointed out earlier this week, the overall level of shareholder dissent across all UK companies actually fell in 2012, despite the headlines.
What made the difference, and led to those headlines, was the concentration of that opposition at just a few AGMs. David Ellis, head of reward at KPMG in the UK, described it as "the public demonstration of shareholder disapproval towards a limited number of companies relating to specific circumstances and issues."
Still, FairPensions' analysis lets us know which managers led the charge at those high-profile votes. It throws up some interesting results; for example, it is striking that State Street scores as many 'no's as The Co-operative Asset Management.
Co-op is well-known for a publicly tough stance on executive pay and corporate governance in general, and indeed scooped Financial News' award for Good Steward of the Year in October, in recognition of this. But State Street has preferred to operate well below the radar on corporate-governance matters.
It is also interesting to note that BlackRock, the world's biggest fund manager and far from being a pushover on governance questions, was a supporter of Sir Martin Sorrell at WPP, voting in favour of his controversial pay packet. BlackRock was virtually alone among the managers in this table in this regard, save for some (but not all) funds run by JP Morgan Asset Management.
Meanwhile, the most pro-management firms turn out to be M&G, the funds arm of the Prudential, and Aberdeen Asset Management, both of which voted in favour of executive pay packets at six of these 10 selected AGMs.
FairPensions has done its own analysis of the figures, which is far more comprehensive than this blog, and is available here: http://bit.ly/UckEe4.
The campaign group makes one major complaint; it still does not think fund managers' disclosure of their votes is up to scratch.
It said: "For example, Threadneedle only disclosed votes at one out of ten companies examined. Only one of the twenty asset managers assessed in the report disclosed reasons for all significant votes, with a further eight giving reasons only for votes against management."

ZANESVILLE, Ohio - Several schools announced that they will not have school on Wednesday after exotic animals escaped a Muskingum County animal farm.
The schools are: Maysville Local Schools, Zanesville City Schools, Foxfire Community Schools and West Muskingum Local Schools.
Police said they had shot at least 25 of at least 48 escaped exotic animals on Tuesday night.
Terry Thompson, the owner of the farm, was found dead outside of his home on the animal farm property.
Police said the fences had been left unsecured.
According to police, the animals escaped at about 6 p.m. from an animal farm near Kopchak Road.
Police would not comment on what animals escaped but said the animal farm did have lions, wolves, cheetahs, tigers, giraffes, camels, grizzly bears and black bears.
"It's been a bad situation for a long time and the last thing we want to do is to have any of our public hurt," said Muskingum Sheriff Matt Lutz. "No young kids should go outside tonight."
According to police, bears and wolves had been shot and killed.
There were multiple sightings of exotic animals along Interstate 70, police said.
Muskingum Sheriff Matt Lutz said resident safety is his primary concern.
"We want our citizens to take any and all precautions they can tonight," said Lutz. "Our number one priority is nobody gets hurt out of this ordeal. This is a bad situation."
Police said staff from the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium and The Wilds were on scene, hoping to tranquilize the animals and return them to safety.
The Licking County Sheriff's Office said they had received at least four reports of exotic animal sightings at about 11 p.m. on Tuesday.
As a precaution the Licking County Sheriff's Office said they had activated members of its SWAT team who were equipped with night vision and the weapons necessary to deal with the animals.

As world leaders gather in Copenhagen in December for global talks on action to address climate change, Global Footprint Network will host a side event aimed at invigorating the conversation by helping leaders see the self-interest in bold and timely action.
"Most world leaders have not yet recognized that it is in their interest to be the pioneers in climate policy, preferring to take a wait-and-see approach," said Global Footprint Network President Mathis Wackernagel. On December 9th, Global Footprint Network will host a round-table discussion of high-level policymakers at the Copenhagen headquarters of the European Environment Agency.
The discussion is aimed at demonstrating the self-interest case for governments to act – why there is a strong strategic motive for governments to be pioneers and, conversely, a risk to being the laggards. The discussion will also highlight the emerging importance of biocapacity as a valuable national asset.
Global Footprint Network's Copenhagen event will give decision-makers the data they need to prepare for a resource-constrained future. Understanding resource trends can help shift the perspective from: "the more we reduce CO2 emissions, the more it will cost us" to "the more we reduce resource consumption, the more healthy our economies will be and the lower our risk will be "
The European Environment Agency is located at Kongens Nytorv 6
1050 Copenhagen, Denmark. To learn more, contact firstname.lastname@example.com.

Thank you!
I am a master student of Roskilde University, and my area is about CDM and CO2 emission reductions…
I want to attend this event to promote myself and also the CDM project!
We need so-called leaders to become actual leaders who are capable of making necessary changes and choosing a different path to the future. The distrust, dishonesty, duplicity, double-dealing, diablerie (Axis of Evil), and denial that marked the past 8 long dark years cannot continue.
All the talk about the need for baby steps, steppingstones are needed, a deal is too difficult to reach much less enforce; the chasm between the rich and poor is too wide; slow food is advised, no meat is recommended, eat less tuna; the time left before the Climate Change Conference is too brief, the meeting time of the UNFCCC is too short; because it's already too late, have the 'courage' to do nothing; accept incremental change even though such change amounts to using a water hose to put out a barn-burning fire: it is the best we can do. All of this is silly talk from woefully inadequate, emasculated leaders who are not providing necessary leadership. As we approach the great meetings in Denmark, what is happening so pitifully and timorously is both a shame and a sham, and does not have to be occurring as it is now. The distinctly human-driven global predicament looming before the human family can be approached differently and in better ways.
When the Masters of the Universe among us decided just last year to save the global financial system from collapse and rescue the real world economy from a death spiral into depression, no one took responsibility for anything that had occurred to produce that colossal economic mess and no one made wimpy, half-way proposals or suggested there was nothing that could be done. No way. There was work to be done and they did it.
The integrity of Earth's body and its environs is at stake now. A colossal ecological mess is already visible on the horizon and awaits the children if we choose now, yet again, not to act ably, responsibly, reasonably, sensibly and humanely.
The window of opportunity to save the planet, life as we know it, and a future for the children remains open. There is still a chance, a ray of hope. People have a choice between taking the "primrose path" to Hell or the less traveled path to Copenhagen.
We know which path the self-proclaimed Masters of the Universe have chosen. Time is short but still available, perhaps for a while longer anyway, for human beings with feet of clay among us to speak out loudly and clearly in Copenhagen so that necessary changes occur to rescue the world we inhabit from relentless large-scale overproduction and reckless per-capita overconsumption activities of the Masters of the Universe who are ravaging the Earth and polluting its environs, even as they pretend to be its stewards.
At this late date in November 2009, are we still witnessing a lack of imagination and leadership among human beings with feet of clay as well as the continued 'success' of intellectual foolishness, arrogance, deceit and greed by the self-proclaimed Masters of the Universe?
Perhaps necessary changes that move the human family toward sustainability will turn the tide in these these last days before the Copenhagen Climate Summit in favor of humanity, a good enough future for children everywhere, and life as we know it.

Jeff Kolitch discusses Baron Real Estate Fund
The investment goal of Baron Real Estate Fund is capital appreciation.
The Fund invests broadly in real estate businesses with significant growth potential. It maintains exposure across many industries and all capitalization ranges. Non-diversified.
Baron Real Estate Fund is non-diversified, which means it may invest a greater percentage of its assets in fewer issues, and which increases the volatility of its returns and exposes it to greater risk of loss in any given period. In addition to general market conditions, the value of the Fund will be affected by the strength of the real estate markets. Factors that could affect the value of the Fund's holdings include the following: overbuilding and increased competition; increases in property taxes and operating expenses; declines in the value of real estate; lack of availability of equity and debt financing to refinance maturing debt; vacancies due to economic conditions and tenant bankruptcies; losses due to costs resulting from environmental contamination and its related cleanup; changes in interest rates; changes in zoning laws; casualty or condemnation losses; variations in rental income; changes in neighborhood values; and functional obsolescence and appeal of properties to tenants. The Fund may not achieve its objectives.
You should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses of any of the Baron Funds carefully before investing. The prospectus contains this and other information about Baron Funds. You may obtain one from its distributor, Baron Capital, Inc., by calling 1-800-99BARON or click here. Please read it carefully before investing.

"Ideas are commodity. Execution of them is not. "
Colorado's Ballyneal
A casual flyover of Colorado's northeast corner would suggest dead flat land. But two brothers who grew up here, Jim and Rupert O'Neal, knew of some anomalous terrain just south of the small farming town of Holyoke. Called the Chop Hills, this three-square-mile bubbling up of the land features dunes evocative of coastal Ireland.
The terrain is arid, treeless and windswept. And now, thanks to the design genius of Tom Doak and his associates, it's also ideal for a unique version of golf-links style on the high Western plains. Ballyneal is stunning for its barrenness, the wide sweep of its fairways and the unrelenting contours of the playing surfaces, especially the greens. None of the course is more engaging-or maddening-than the 352-yard, par-four seventh hole, where Doak has clearly been inspired by Alister MacKenzie's template "boomerang green," the paradigm of which is the seventh at Crystal Downs in Frankfort, Mich.
At 3,700 feet above sea level, Ballyneal plays shorter than its scorecard numbers. The par-71 stretches to 7,131 yards, but the design here is really intended for the thoughtful player who can tolerate wild bounces and is able to control the ground game. When the wind howls at 20 miles per hour, as it often does, the game reverts to a struggle with the elements.
In other words, this is golf in its classic form. Listen to your caddie. And be prepared to walk the course twice a day, because there's not much else to do here, anyway.
Everything about the place suggests native, rough-hewn golf. The turf cover is perfectly adequate, but the bunkers have a native, scratchy look and the roughs will leave you with unpredictable lies.
The clubhouse and lodge-style accommodations are simple but very comfortable. Their design-in a frontier arts-and-crafts tradition-and their proximity to one another convey a small, intimate village. The on-site lodge offers what might best be called cuisine comfort food, the favorite being lobster macaroni and cheese.
The course sits 175 miles northeast of Denver International Airport and 60 miles southwest of Ogallala, Neb. Opened in 2006, it's already ranked No. 13 on Golfweek's list of the best modern courses and it has become part of a dream-like golf sojourn that includes stops at Prairie Dunes in Hutchinson, Kan., and Sand Hills in Mullen, Neb.
For more information on Ballyneal, call the course at (970) 854-5900 or visit www.ballyneal.com.

NormaI love your little mascot standing on top of your dough container. Where did you find him?
I have searched everywhere on the web and have not been able to find anything similar to that.
Norma,How thick would you say the rim was? From what I can tell, that looks very similar to many of the pies that we call "Greek" here in Calgary. I think it looks delicious! I have made several greek pies using as couple of dough formulations in this thread, with a 2-hour-ish rise, and most of my pies seemed to have a much smaller rim than many of the ones you get here in Calgary (although I have been carrying the sauce and cheese to the top like the "bar style," as I understand it). Yours does look very good though, I'm not sure the overproofing is such a bad thing! ...Or is it???

When going flying, don't forget…
…your headset. Even in a non-radio environment, the noise of the engine will give you a headache.
…your sunglasses, especially if flying into the sun or in instrument meteorological conditions.
…something to write with and to write on. Writing clearances on your arm uses a lot of space. I knew a pilot who used a grease pencil to write on the window, but an FBO may not appreciate this. This fellow owned the airplane.
…something to eat and drink, but make sure you use the restroom first.
…a credit card for fuel.
…your cell phone and a charger in case you get stuck somewhere. Put a flashlight app and an E6B app on your phone.
…to cancel your flight plan on arrival.
…charts. Electronic is great, but paper doesn't rely on batteries. Either way, have them—and ensure currency.
…your medical, your certificate, the pilot's operating handbook, and a photo ID.
…to check the weather. Twice. At least.
…a back-up plan, in case the weather forces itself upon thee.
…to take as much fuel as you can.
…a handheld radio with fresh batteries.
…clothes appropriate for the terrain, especially if you are flying over rugged or mountainous terrain.
…at least one flashlight. Even during the day, a flashlight can be handy. See the tip about apps above.
…to check for TFRs, notices to airmen, and pilot reports.
…to untie the airplane from the tie-down. Don't laugh. It's happened. Damage can occur to more than your pride. But your pride will be damaged if you do this, because it's funny to watch.
…to call ahead for overnight parking information, crew car info, et cetera.
…cash for vending machines and to tip the fellow putting fuel in your airplane.
…and most importantly, don't forget to have fun. Flying is fun, and we are privileged and lucky to be able to do it. If it isn't fun, you need to recapture that feeling—or take a car.—Chip Wright

Comments about Learning Resources Word of the Week, Grade 3-4:
Every Monday morning we have a new word. I cover up the meaning to begin with and I don't show the comic yet either. First we figure out how to say the word and the students discuss what they think it means. They pay attention to words it sounds like or rhymes with, the different contexts they have heard it used in, etc. Once we discuss this we read the comic and revise our predictions based on context clues. Finally we look at the meaning. From there we create oral stories or sentences using the word of the week. We review the words from the previous weeks as well. I record the words on cards and we hang them up on the word of the week word wall. The students love the words... parents are amazed about the words their kids are using. Now at the end of the year, I have many stories about all the places my students find these words or hear them. They are always excited to see the words being used. The kids have internalized these words and use them when they talk and they show up each day in their writing!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Attention Dragons and Dragonettes- we've received notice of incoming storms next week. Windows are scheduled to be boarded over in attempt to prevent the front door from shattering and putting out an eye. You guessed it, it's Tornado season. A Local meteorologist managed to weasel a paper airplane past the guard dogs and onto the front desk. After we ensured his remains were fed to the hounds, the note informed us we're due to expect unusual debris across the school. In an effort to recover from the tornado damage, students are requested to participate in clearing the school of the artifacts left by the tempest. Keep an eye out for paper dragons guarding their treasured tickets, and for the love of the approaching singularity find and protect our future robot masters. Other such efforts that contribute to ensuring the integrity of our facility may include recording your participation in assigned tasks, or doing the bidding of your professor(s) for rewards. If you're the competitive type then be sure to keep an eye on the front lobby television for daily details. What's that, you want to collect points with a friend? How about three? Make some matching uniform and name to identify yourselves and bonus participatory happiness points will be awarded- but any more than four to a team and the stamp of frown-sadness will descend upon your final score. Take pictures and we'll keep track of your deeds- who knows, perhaps those who live through the apex of the storm here on Saturday 14th will earn some eternal glory in the halls of Cogswell. Rations? Check. Dueling ART? Check. Fighting to the last breath with boffer swords? All bets are off boys and girls- it's Tornado Season.
Tornado Season Coming!!!

Hello there, just became aware of your blog through Google, and found that it is really informative. I am gonna watch out for brussels. I will appreciate if you continue this in future. A lot of people will be benefited from your writing. Cheers!…

48 Hour Film Project entries to screen this weekend
The Columbus Dispatch - July 31, 2012 12:00 PM
Filmmaking teams from throughout central Ohio competed in the Columbus 48 Hour Film Project over the weekend, and the results of their sleepless, adrenaline-filled nights will reach audiences Saturday, August 4.
Forty-one teams showed up to compete in this year's project, which required that film entries use a pizza box prop, a tourist character named either Edward Bulmer or Emma Bulmer, and the line "I have good news and bad news."
The Arena Grand theater in the Arena District will screen the films on August 4, 7 and 8. Tickets must be purchased in advance and online or over the phone.

Crew Signs International Defender
The Columbus Dispatch - January 22, 2013 09:47 AM
One of the rumored pending signings has now taken place for the Crew. Today, the club announced it had signed 29-year-old Brazilian defender Gláuber Leandro Honorato Berti. Terms were not disclosed.
He will pair with Chad Marshall as a central defender. This likely means Danny O'Rourke will slide a bit further up the field and line up at defensive midfielder and Josh Williams will suit up at right back.
Berti most recently played with Rapid Bucharest of the Romanian First Division but has also played for Manchester City in the English Premier League, FC Nurnberg of the German Bundesliga and a pair of teams in his native Brazil.
"One of our primary goals over the course of this offseason was to shore-up our backline and improve our overall defensive core," Crew technical director Brian Bliss said in a statement. " Today we added a player that helps us accomplish that goal. Gláuber is a player with strong international pedigree, and he immediately makes us better. We look forward to having him in camp."& amp; lt; /p>
He will report pending receipt of his International Transfer Visa.
I will have more after today's training session, which starts at 10:15 a.m.

Christmas gift lust list: Fragrances
As well as swanning around in novelty jumpers, eating our own body weight in mince pies and generally ounging around in our pyjamas and watching Elf on repeat, Christmas is also about PRESENTS. YES IT IS.
So, for want of a heavier wallet or more bulging dressing table, we've compiled a list of our favourite fragrances that we've been spritzing around the office this year. If you're looking for a gift or to be gifted with an awesome scent, start your search here...
First off is office fave, Anna Sui's Fairy Dance.
DON'T BE PUT OFF BY THE CRAP NAME, it's actually gorgeous. We call it 'orange groves' at Sugarscape HQ, which should give you a pretty clear indication of what it smells like.
Whenever we stick this on we're always complimented about our sweet aroma, and the office supply is running low - we'll definitely be stocking up on more for next year.
£24.99 for 30ml from The Perfume Shop.
Next on our lists is Rihanna's Reb'l Fleur.
This woman locked us up on a plane for the best part of ten days, yet we STILL want to smell like her. Reb'l Fleur's subtle, spicy scent with what we're told are "topnotes of berries and plum," RiRi's fragrance is perfect for a night out.
£29.50 for 50ml fragrance, 90ml body lotion and 90ml shower gel from The Perfume Shop.
If Rihanna doesn't do it for you, maybe Britney's more your kinda gal.
Fantasy's not her newest fragrance, but it's our favourite from her bunch - and let's be honest, there's no point buying one of her new ones when this one's still around, still awesome, and probably cheaper. We're doing you a favour here.
Sweet and fruity, Brit's aroma makes us feel like we've rolled around in a giant bag of jelly-tots, and works as a fresh day scent or a long-lasting fragrance for the evening.
£22.99 for 30ml from The Perfume Shop.
If you're not keen on as sweet a scent as Britney, Lacoste's Joy Of Pink might be more up your alley.
Said to be inspired by a Curacao cocktail, this'll leave a whiff of grapefruit and peony in your trail, and maybe even make you skip about somewhat strangely like that lovely girl in the advert does.
£24.50 for 30ml.
Marc Jacobs' Dot will be firmly thrust into the faces of present buyers, if for the amazing packaging alone. The jazzy bottle looks so awesome we've kept our empties hanging around just because we reckon we look impressive, and the smell ain't too bad either; jasmine, coconut water and orange blossom are at the heart of this solid fragrance that even made our mum say "Oh, you smell nice love."
£65.50 for 100ml fragrance and 100ml body lotion
Let's stick with this trip down Designer Avenue and talk about Vera Wang's Princess next.
We would describe this scent to you, but the press people have called it "radiant and whimsical" - which is just too good a phrase to leave out. Packed with vanilla, exotic flowers and succulent fruits, spray it behind your ears so it's the first thing people get a whiff of when they hug you.
£33.50 for 30ml
Definitely a fragrance for the night, Diesel's Loverdose is strong, heady and SEXY. Mandarin and Star Anise are the main players in this bottle of joy, ideal to spritz on before a party - or to catch a certain someone's attention.
£28.50 for 30ml.
Right, this next one is Sugarscape Editor's fave, Ralph by Ralph Lauren.
Musk and white iris smush together to make this fragrance a clean, fresh, sweet and fruity dreamboat of scented joy. We've never worn this out and not had someone tell us we smell like heaven, and this failsafe bottle of bliss is remaining a permanent fixture on our dressing table.
FINALLY, we'll finish off with Girlfriend from Justin Bieber - which some people have told us looks like a sex toy, but we'll shush them off to the naughty step.
The flavours that went into this fragrance are making our bellies rumble; pear, mandarin, strawberry and blackberry have been swizzed together to create a fresh, crisp waft about the Sugarscape office.
£23.50 for 30ml and 100ml body lotion.
Will you be asking for any fragrances this year?

Experiences of 12 patients in the first 2 years following spinal cord injury: setting meaningful rehabilitation goals
- The Social Dimensions of Health Institute, University of Dundee, Dundee, UK
- Correspondence to Thilo Kroll
Social Dimensions of Health Institute, University of Dundee, 11 Airlie Place, Dundee DD1 4HJ, UK; t.kroll{at}dundee.ac.uk
Implications for practice and research
■ A prospective understanding of the variable rehabilitation needs of people with spinal cord injuries (SCIs) over time necessitates flexible, co-ordinated and interdisciplinary support from healthcare professionals over time.
■ Professional support should extend beyond functional recovery or re-training and should focus more on what is meaningful to the individual in terms of maximising social and societal participation.
Appropriate rehabilitative support is crucial in the weeks and months after the onset of SCI as medical and psychosocial complications are likely to occur.1 Hence, it is important that rehabilitation professionals engage in a bespoke, patient-centred goal …

Elpida, a leading maker of dynamic random access memory (DRAM), has announced that it had finished development of 40nm process technology as well as 2Gb DDR3 40nm chip. The innovation will allow Elpida to make its products more efficiently in terms of costs and improve its competitive positions on the market.
The new 2Gb DDR3 SDRAM uses a smaller chip size to achieve a 44% higher chip yield per wafer compared with Elpida's 50nm DDR3 SDRAM and a 100% yield for DDR3 products that operate at 1600MHz, the highest speed standard for current DDR3. Compared with 50nm products, it uses about two-thirds less current and supports 1.2V/1.35V operation as well as DDR3 standard 1.5V, thus reducing power consumption by as much as 45% in the best case scenario.
Sample shipments of the 40nm 2Gb DDR3 SDRAM will start in November. Mass production is expected to begin before the end of 2009.
It should be specifically noted that Elpida plans to use manufacturing capacities of its partners in Taiwan to produce memory chips at 40nm nodes eventually. Initially, the firm will commence production of 40nm DRAMs at its own plant in Japan.
The development of the DRAM using a 40nm process focused on both performance and cost competitiveness. As a result, the investment cost of converting from 50nm manufacturing to 40nm manufacturing is expected to be almost zero. Moreover, a 65nm to 40nm process conversion can be accomplished with greater investment efficiency compared with a 65nm to 50nm conversion.
In addition to finer process technologies Elpida is also developing 65nm XS process technology that can compete with the 50nm process of other companies. Another development effort recently underway aims to produce smaller die size products based on the 65nm process.
Given this range of development choices, Elpida will have greater flexibility to deal with changing market conditions and in making decisions about the timing of investment in 40nm process equipment and the content of technology licensed to its Taiwan partners.
Elpida intends to increase 40nm process production to further reduce die costs. Meanwhile, the company continues to pursue higher productivity. The changeover as of July to a product-specific manufacturing system (separately managed manufacturing lines for mobile and PC-related products) at Elpida's Hiroshima Plant has already boosted yields. The combination of these cost savings and productivity improvements is expected to make Elpida more competitive. Also, depending on future DRAM market conditions, Elpida believes it may be possible to increase the ratio of 40nm process line output to as much as 50% of total production.

Something about the look of a Frenchwoman has long kept the rapt attention of the world. And while she may have been born in New York, Anne Hathaway recently embodied an effortlessly chic French-style.
At the New York premiere of her new film, Love and Other Drugs, Hathaway paired sultry dark eyes with a simple neutral lip for a classy, come-hither look.
Luckily for women eager to copy Hathaway, makeup artist Kate Lee told BellaSugar.com how she made Anne so lovely.
For her eyes, Lee drew a thin delicate line on Hathaway's upper lids using black eyeliner that she winged just barely past the corners. Next, she swept pale shimmery cream shadow onto her lids, as well as just a touch of black matte eyeshadow to the corners. Lee highlighted the browbone and inner corners of the eyes with a beige pigment. Finally, she gave Anne feathery fringes with a couple coats of black mascara.
Sultry lashes are a requirement for any stroll through Paris, but Hathaway really nails the look because of her naturally thick, arched brows. Remember - the secret of a Frenchgirl is that she knows when to give and when to take it away, and when it comes to eyebrows, she never withholds. Use blinc Eyebrow Mousse to create strong, classy arches.

Sister Donner,
You by far have more balls than I – I didn't put up the "Vote for Me" badge on my blog. I was going to but then though well that is really snarky and aren't I all full of myself. But now you have done it and it doesn't look snarky on you.
I think that this is a covet thy neighbor kinda of thing and I cannot afford to loose any "Get Out of Hell Free" cards.
Congratulations I am so proud to call you my Sista.

Whenever I was on the plane heading to Washington, my wife was kind of looking through… actually some verses in her Bible — and she handed her Bible to me. It was Romans 13, verses one through five, and verses four and five were the verses that she told me to read. And, I mean I'm not gonna sit here and quote Scripture or whatever, but if you're interested in that, those are the verses I read. And I needed to tell the truth.
— Andy Pettitte, All-Star pitcher for the New York Yankees, at a press conference several days after he gave a deposition to a congressional committee testifying that he used HGH in 2002 and 2004.
The verses read:
Let every person be subject to the governing authorities; for there is no authority except from God, and those authorities that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists authority resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Do you wish to have no fear of the authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive its approval; for it is God's servant for your good. But if you do what is wrong, you should be afraid, for the authority does not bear the sword in vain! It is the servant of God to execute wrath on the wrongdoer. Therefore one must be subject, not only because of wrath but also because of conscience.
