Representatives from the academy, the government, and the private sector engaged in serious discussions about the true impact of current immigration provisions on American competitiveness, how proposals for high-skilled admissions can meet the needs of the U.S. economy, what effect such proposals might have on other policy goals (such as encouraging U.S. students to enter STEM fields), how those trade-offs should be managed, and the extent to which specific proposals serve national interests or instead primarily benefit particular industries or employers. The concluding panel at the National Press Club featured University of Virginia President Teresa Sullivan, United States Senator Mark Warner (D-VA), and Founder and former CEO of AOL Steve Case. The panel was moderated by Alan Murray, Deputy Managing Editor and Executive Editor of The Wall Street Journal online edition and President of Pew Research Center (beginning January 2013). As Murray noted in his introduction, immigration is one issue that changed on the national landscape in the wake of the election. The outcome of the election has shaken up the politics and created the possibility for some movement on immigration legislation. Steve Case noted that it is worth remembering that the nation was once a start-up. We didn't become the leading economy by accident. It was the work of entrepreneurs who created companies and built the economy. In the history of the nation, the work of the risk-taking, pioneering entrepreneurs to help build this country is often overlooked. Case said the good news is that the U.S. is still the world's most entrepreneurial nation. The bad news is that other nations have figured out that "the secret sauce" to a successful economy is an entrepreneurial economy. Other countries have modified their policies to become more entrepreneurial. Australia, for example, allows ten times more entrepreneurial visas. We are engaged in a global battle for talent, capital and ideas. Detroit rose on an idea propelled by entrepreneurs and fell when it lost its way. As a country, if we don't change course, we will also fall. The issue of talent is central – as the old truism goes, an organization is only as good as it's people. Case expressed frustration that we've been talking about high skilled reform for at least a decade. We have to do something quickly. Immigration should be less of a debate about a problem and more of a debate about opportunity. Senator Warner argued that we need talent to compete in the world and that's why we need high-skilled immigration reform. He noted there is a dearth of American born graduates in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM fields). In China, 44% of graduates have a STEM field degree, 37% of Koreans do, and 24% of Europeans. In comparison, only 16% of students in America graduate with a STEM field degree. These are the key fields that drive innovation. Senator Warner recognized that we need to prime the pump of American born citizens, but we also need to attract talent from around the world. We can do that through changing our visa policies. He argued that we should at least start with graduate students – if you graduate and have a job awaiting you, we will give you a green card. Senator Warner also argued that we need to revise our antiquated H1-B visa policies. Those who get these visas essentially become indentured servants to the companies through which they obtain these work permit visas. This has the effect of restricting entrepreneurship. We also need an entrepreneur visa. Teresa Sullivan was recently on an NRC panel that made ten recommendations to Congress on immigration reform. Sullivan noted that UVA has had a 60% increase in applications from foreign students in the last three years alone, largely fueled by Chinese students. The U.S. benefits if they stay in America to work after they graduate. Sullivan argued that current policies are too burdensome for students and scholars. The NRC panel recommended that the visa processing process should be made as efficient as possible while ensuring national security. In addition, the process for graduate researchers who obtain a doctorate here to receive a green card should be streamlined. Watch the video for the full discussion of prospects for high-skilled immigration reform.

Brighter/Better than the picture!
"I hate when people write cute shoes... how is that helpful to anyone? Is that not already clear? Anyway, the picture shows them a lot duller than they are... I wear and 8.5, got them in that size... felt good initially however when I walked around in them though it kinda hurts. So I think it takes some breaking in like a lot of flats do and once your foot stretches it out it'll probably get better! Maybe wear with socks to help stretch them! Very stylish shoe : )"

Along with a boosted Buick LeSabre, another incident listed on a crime report Sunday in Arlington County, Va., was a creepy attack by a man on a woman.
"On May 5 at 12:35 a.m., a drunken male subject approached a female victim in a parking lot and grabbed her breasts and buttocks," the report read. "The victim fought the suspect off as he attempted to touch her again and alerted police. Jeffrey Krusinski, 41, of Arlington, Va., was arrested and charged with sexual battery."
Mr. Krusinski's mug shot, showing scarlet scratches on his face, is a portrait in misery.
He knew his arrest on charges of groping a stranger would send the capital reeling and his career at the nearby Pentagon spiraling. The Air Force lieutenant colonel charged with sexual battery was the officer in charge of sexual assault prevention programs for the Air Force. (He had just finished his sexual assault victim training.)
There was a fox-in-the-henhouse echo of Clarence Thomas, who Anita Hill said sexually harassed her when he was the nation's top enforcer of laws against workplace sexual harassment.
Sen. Jay Rockefeller issued a white-hot statement, calling Col. Krusinski's arrest "further evidence that the military isn't taking the issue of sexual assault seriously," and "a stain on the military" that "should shake us to our core."
President Barack Obama was also lacerating on the subject of the Krusinski arrest and the cases of two Air Force lieutenant generals who set aside sexual assault convictions after jury trials.
He said training and awareness programs masking indifference will no longer stand: "If we find out somebody's engaging in this stuff, they've got to be held accountable, prosecuted, stripped of their positions, court-martialed, fired, dishonorably discharged -- period."
It has been a bad week for the hidebound defenders of a hopelessly antiquated military justice system that views prosecution decisions in all cases, including rape and sexual assault, as the private preserve of commanders rather than lawyers.
"They are dying a thousand deaths," said Eugene Fidell, who teaches military justice at Yale Law School. CAAFlog, the leading military justice blog, called it "the death knell" for the current system, at least for sexual assault cases.
During the Thomas-Hill hearings, many powerful men in Washington -- even ones defending Ms. Hill publicly -- privately assumed that she was somehow complicit in encouraging Justice Thomas' vulgar behavior. Feminists ranted "they just don't get it" so often that it became a grating cliche.
Yet, 22 years later, during another Senate hearing Tuesday where the topic of sexual transgression flared, it became clear that, as California Congresswoman Jackie Speier told me afterward, "People in authority just don't get it."
Gen. Mark Welsh, the chief of staff for the Air Force, shocked the women on the Senate Armed Services Committee when he testified that part of the problem in combatting "The Invisible War," as the Oscar-nominated documentary feature on the epidemic of rape in the military was titled, is that young women who enter the military have been raised in a society with a "hook-up mentality."
"We have got to change the culture once they arrive," the general said.
Hook-ups might be stupid, but they are consensual.
"To dismiss violent rapes as part of the hook-up culture shows a complete lack of understanding," a fiery Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York told me. "We're not talking about a date gone badly. We're talking about criminal behavior by predators who often stalk their victims in advance."
The hook-up comparison was especially jarring in light of the release of a stunning Pentagon study estimating that 26,000 men and women in the military were sexually assaulted in the 2012 fiscal year, a 37 percent increase from the same period the year before. Only a small number of incidents -- 3,374 -- were reported, showing that victims are still afraid of payback or perverted justice. And a mere 238 assailants were convicted.
Wired.com reported that troops at Shaw Air Force Base in South Carolina were issued a brochure advising potential victims of sexual assault that it might be more "advisable to submit than resist."
It was the sort of rare confluence of events that can actually lead to change, especially because it's a nonpartisan issue and because the Senate looks very different than it did during the Thomas-Hill hearings. Three of the six Senate Armed Services subcommittees are now led by women.
Sen. Claire McCaskill of Missouri, a former prosecutor who is one of seven women (five of them lawyers) on the Armed Services Committee, has held up the nomination of Lt. Gen. Susan Helms to be vice commander of the Air Force Space Command until she investigates why Gen. Helms overturned a conviction in a sexual assault case.
"You don't get to decide who's telling the truth and supplant the judgment of the jury you handpicked if you weren't in the courtroom observing the witnesses," Sen. McCaskill said. "You've got to put systems in place where you catch these cowards committing crimes and you put them in prison."
The military brass cossetting predators are on notice. The women of Congress are on the case.opinion_commentary

"I bought these shoes in blue. OMG! The sparkle is absolutely beautiful. The heel isn't too high. I thought to myself, "these are the perfect shoes!" I had planned on wearing them out for a very LONG NYE party.My problems started when I test walked in these around my house. With each step I took, my big toe would kind of fall into this odd little gap in the fabric that wraps around the toes. I was crushed just like my little fat toe. I even contemplated gluing the fabric to keep the shoe. Maybe it's me & I walk like a weirdo. I decided to return them... my saddest return ever.PS - See the attached pic for the fabric gap I am describing."

By DONALD A. MOSKOWITZLondonderryN.H
John McCain's leadership qualities are needed to steer this country through difficult economic times and threats to our national security.
McCain can be trusted to lead us because he has been vetted. As a naval officer of 22 years and with 26 years in Congress he has the executive experience to administer our government and accomplish our domestic and international objectives.
Obama has not been vetted. He has no executive experience and has been a member of Congress for four years, and has only a few accomplishments during his time in the Senate. He is a featherweight when we need a heavyweight.
I believe he has not been around long enough to have a detailed background investigation, which is required for a president to get a top secret security clearance. He might not qualify for a TS clearance based on his past associations with a number of extremists, including Reverend Wright, William Ayers and Frank Marshall Davis.
Obama has the thinnest resume for president in the history of our country, and would not qualify for CEO of any company in the U.S.; while McCain has a huge amount of experience, excellent judgement and will provide the leadership we need.

10 Reasons to Use Illustrations Instead of Stock Photography in Learning
The grinning woman eating a salad; the perfectly multicultural meeting; the man with a headset: these are the standards for stock photography. And while it definitely has its place, stock photography isn't the gold standard when it comes to learning. Animation and illustration are far more versatile when compared to the sometimes-stiff, always impersonal stock photo. Photography puts real people in front of learners, and their own unconscious biases could affect the connection (or lack thereof) they feel. But illustrations might. Increased Relevancy.

Setting the Mood: Top Tips for Adding Stock Music to Your E-Learning
E-learning Uncovered
It actually generated applause in the middle of the session, and I guarantee that wasn't due to its cutting-edge custom photography, innovative special effects, or vibrant color scheme! Depending on the source, stock music can be expensive and in a climate in which it's hard to get any purchases approved, it may be viewed as frivolous. Here are my top tips for finding and working with stock music. You may do this for stock photos already, but it's even more relevant for music because you're probably looking for a certain feel rather than specific content.
The case for clip art and stock photography
Clive on Learning
That's when I turn to clip art and stock photography. And there's a lot of poor clip art and stock photography out there which is horribly cheesy and, worse still, over-used. In the perfect situation you'd have unlimited time and money available when creating a presentation, print document or online learning materials. You'd be able to call in whatever specialist expertise you wanted and have the time to wait while they delivered the goods. know that visuals are often used for the wrong reasons, typically as a form of decoration or as a way of filling a space.

All too often you find unrelated stock photography , huge chunks of text in awkward places , and mismatched color schemes in eLearning courses.

The Emery High Lady Spartan softball team is now 8-3 for the season after picking up two last minute victories last week. On Wednesday, Emery traveled a day later than scheduled to Nephi due to weather and came home with an 11-9 win that went into extra innings. On Friday, Emery opened region 15 action with a 6-5 win over Richfield as the Spartans scored three times in the bottom of the seventh inning. A good team seems to be able to find a way to win and that is just what Emery did last week.
Kaitlyn Thomson, centerfielder, leads the team is batting with a .464 average, on-base percentage at .559 and runs scored at 16. Whitney Roper, pitcher and third baseman, is batting .414 and leads in slugging percentage at .724. Roper has two doubles, two triples and a home run this season.
Left fielder Jaiden Huntington leads the team with three homeruns while shortstop Bryton Hess and catcher Auminee Bennett each have two. First baseman Shandee Jewkes leads the team with three doubles plus Jewkes leads the team in fielding with 54 touches without an error.
At Juab, Emery scored three runs in the first inning, four runs in the fourth inning, a single run in both the seventh and eighth innings and two runs in the ninth inning. Juab scored one run in the first inning, three in the third, two in the fifth and two more in the sixth and one in the eighth.
In the first inning, Jo Jennings singled to open the game, Bryton Hess walked, Huntington walked, Jeridi Price walked, Thomson got hit by a pitch and Jewkes walked as the Juab pitcher had control issues.
In the fourth inning, Thomson singled with Hailey Beckstead hitting another single, Jennings got on base due to an error. Hess then singled followed by another single by Roper. Bennett got on base due to another error and the Spartans were leading again 7-3.
Down 8-7 in the top of the seventh, Thomson singled and then a sacrifice bunt by Jewkes got Thomson to second base. Beckstead then got on by an infield error and Thomson scored on a hit by Jennings to tie the score.
In the bottom of the seventh inning, Juab loaded the bases on three singles but were unable to score.
In overtime games, the batting team starts with a runner on second base. Hess was that runner for Emery. A fly ball to right advanced her to third and Hess scored when Juab misplayed a ball hit by Bennett. Juab also scored in the bottom of the inning.
In the ninth inning, Price started on second base for Emery. Thomson singled to left field for her fourth time on base for the game. Jewkes then doubled to centerfield to score two runs. In the bottom of the inning, Roper allowed a walk, a ground out, a strike out and a pop fly to the shortstop to get the win.
On Friday, Emery scored once in the second inning, once in the fourth inning and once in the sixth inning before scoring three times in the seventh inning. Richfield scored once in the fourth and once in the fifth and then three times in the sixth inning to take the lead.
In the second inning, Bennett got on base due to an error and then Price got hit by a pitch. Thomson laid down a sacrifice bunt but Bennett was put out at home trying to score. Price scored on a single by Jewkes.
In the fourth inning, Kaitlyn flexed those muscles she has and put the ball over the fence for a homerun. In the sixth inning, Thomson walked to lead off the inning and Jewkes singled behind her. Thomson got out trying to score from third. Jewkes did score after Jennings singled, Hess walked and Roper singled. In the bottom of the seventh inning and with Emery down 5-3, Bennett led off the inning with a single. Jeridi Price then hit a home run to tie the game at 5-5. Thomson followed with a single and Jewkes followed with a single to get Thomson to third base. Jennings singled to left field to score Thomson and the game was over.
Emery travels to Grand this Tuesday for the only game of the week.

According to articles in the September 25 and 26, 1936 issues of the Sandusky Register, the stadium was a WPA project, with Thomas C. Millar as superintendent of construction, and William Helm, field engineer. S.D. Downing was the WPA administrator in charge of the project. Harold Parker, architect for the stadium, said at the dedication: "Dedication of this stadium marks fulfillment of a dream or thought cherished during the past seven years to plan or supervise construction of a stadium for the board of education, the students and citizens, to be judged by those who know as a layout of the first rank not only in this section of the state but in this section of the United States." Mr. Downing said, "The WPA of Ohio looks to this project with great pride, not only as a project, but in keeping people at work." He presented the blueprints to Dr. C.R. Knoble, president of the Sandusky Board of Education.
The Sandusky Board of Education had purchased the property at the site of the new stadium, in 1921. It was named Strobel Field, in honor of C. J. Strobel, for his years of outstanding service to Sandusky City Schools. C. J. Strobel was a member of the Board of Education of Sandusky Schools for forty-eight years. When elected, he was the youngest member of the board, and when he left, he was the oldest member who had ever served on the board. Mr. Strobel also had worked at Citizens Banking Co. for fifty seven years. Mr. Strobel was considered an expert in the field of school finance.
On the night of the dedication, WPA officials, and school officials, including Frank J. Prout, Superintendent; Dr. C. R. Knoble, Board president; and Karl E. Whinnery, High School principal, sat on a platform under the lights. By 7:30 p.m. the bleachers and stands were packed. Frank J. Prout estimated the crowd in attendance to be 7,500 to 8,000, not including all the bands. A parade of bands was held, beginning at the southeast corner of the stadium. Drum majors led each band down the field. The combined bands played the "Star Spangled Banner" as the flag was raised.
The 1936 Sandusky Blue Streaks football team was coached by Bob Whittaker, who was coming into the September 25th game with 35 successive wins. The Blue Streaks beat Elyria, 16 to 7. Sandusky's touchdowns were scored by Roy Gant and Harold Krause. Sandusky would finish that season with a record of 9 and 1, with the one loss occurring at the game between Sandusky and Toledo Waite. The 1937 Fram editors stated "We feel that as long as Whittaker-coached teams represent Sandusky High School these teams will continue to rank as one of the best in the state."
To learn more about the history of Sandusky schools, visit the Archives Research Center of the Sandusky Library. There you will find old yearbooks, newspapers on microfilm, and a Finding Aid which will guide you through our archival collections.

Modern engineering and the nostalgia of the wealthy has combined to create a new niche in the automotive world: the retro-rod, a car with up-to-date technology designed to look like it rolled off the showroom floor a few decades ago. For years, Corvette fans have been able to buy an fifth-generation Vette dressed like it was 1953, and now a British firm plans a similar kind of time travel with the Jaguar E-Type — but the trip doesn't come cheap.
Called the Lyonheart K, the British start-up plans to build 250 coupes and convertibles based off the Jaguar XK designed to look as close to a modern E-Type as possible. (That Jaguar has created an all-new car, the F-Type, meant to evoke a similar emotion has not stopped this plan as of yet.) More than just a custom body, Lyonheart says its K-cars have had their Jaguar V-8s tuned by Cosworth to 567 hp and 510 lb.-ft. of torque, enough to push the K to 62 mph in 3.8 seconds.
Inside, Lyonheart has redone the interior with its own custom woodgrain dash, higher-end stereo and more baubles. Which one would expect given the price tag for this trip into the past: $466,000 for the coupe, and $485,000 for the convertible. For that money, a Jaguar enthusiast could buy an original E-Type, a new F-Type and still have cash to splurge on the company's R-tuned models. Sometimes it's just easier to make history than repeat it.

Do you believe in the Red Sox yet?
It's beginning to get to that point now where you have to start to believe that the Red Sox are for real.
There's a some special stuff going on. Jonny Gomes's pinch-hit homer, the eighth walk-off win for the Red Sox this season, is certainly proof of that. Jon Lester has straightened himself out once again, too. While we all need to see whether Clay Buchholz can continue his 9-0, 1.71 ERA season when he returns from a neck injury, that will then be the telltale sign that this team is ready for postseason play in October.
Gomes got off to a slow start, but he's finally providing the righthanded pop this team needs to balance the lineup. It was good, sound managing by John Farrell to bring Gomes up to pinch-hit for Brandon Snyder for two reasons: Gomes's flair for the dramatic and his experience with Luke Gregerson against whom he had hit a walk-off homer while he played in the National League.
"When we get into these National League teams we have a limited history against their bullpens," Farrell said. "In this case Gomes had faced Gregerson twice and had hit a walk-off against him previously. Snyder is clearly better against lefthanded pitching. I thought this was a case of picking a spot to use Gomes and a flair for the dramatic, call it what you want. He got a slider over the plate and walked it off.
"I think his [Gomes's] career shows that midseason on is when things start to click for him. When we went our interleague trip to Philly we saw better swings from him. He's got a lot of experience in his role and flair for the dramatic.
Gomes said of his success against Gregerson: "I wouldnt call it too much success, just two at-bats. But that guy throws some good sliders like he did the inning before and he did to me. The first three pitches, no ones going to hit it. So all I do is get one of those sliders up, the count was 1-2 and I let the slider go by, kind of set my sights to getting one up, and then got some good wood on the last one."
Asked if he liked those situations, Gomes said, "You definitely got to be ready but you dont really want to be tied in the ninth, if you will. With that being said, we just needed one run in the ninth. That says a lot about our pitching staff. Jon Lester, an amazing job tonight. Taz coming in, clean inning. So I just had three swings tonight, those guys did a lot of work."
On late game heroics: "Whether its me or someone else, Ill tell you what, winnings fun and stuff like that is contagious. It seems like its someone new nightly. Granted Jon and Taz didnt bat tonight, but they did a heck of a job just giving us the opportunity."
Did he know it was gone: "I did. I knew I hit it far enough but that green wall can be tricky sometimes. So I just hoped I had enough air under it to get out. You might be able to argue I always go for the fences, me just swinging hard a lot. But with the guys coming up behind me, if we can just get the lead-off guy on, drawing a walk right there is just as successful with these guys coming up behind me."
On his fake punt of his helmet as he approached home: "The fake punt, yeah, you got to keep everyone on their toes, right? I think Im all out of tricks now to tell you the truth."
Lester had an excellent changeup Wednesday night. He went seven innings and allowed six hits and one run with five strikeouts but didn't get the win. Junichi Tazawa came on to strike out the side in the eighth and Koji Uehara pitched a strong ninth to gain the win. He's now 2-0.
Mike Carp had two hits to raise his average to .316.
"In his second at-bat, he got the base hit between the 3-4 hole and made an excellent read to score from first on the ball hit off the wall. Much like we talked about Gomes's preparation, Carp is much in the same sentence. They stay ready, they know what to do when called upon. In a spot start he's given us a great contribution," Farrell said.
Dustin Pedroia also had two hits and stole his 13th base and is now hitting .323.

Report: Apple Preparing to Finally Catch up With PCs by Adding USB 3.0
Jason Mick
September 2, 2011 4:40 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
A publication claims that USB 3.0 could at last hit Macs.
The addition would allow Apple customers to ditch their $50 premium cables -- and, more importantly, gain access to many more peripherals.
(Source: iFixIt)
Move could alleviate Apple owners' woes of limited peripheral selection
These days USB 3.0, an extra-speedy connectivity technology is supported by an increasing number of peripherals like
external hard drives
thumb drives
. And it's become quite mainstream in the PC market, even showing up in mid-range models like the Micro-Star International Comp., Ltd.'s (
) $700
MSI FX603 notebook
But customers of Apple Inc. (
) -- the
third largest computer-maker
in the U.S. -- are willing to settle for paying as much $3,000 or more for some high end "fully loaded" notebooks or $5,000 on some desktops without a scrap of USB 3.0 support.
Ex-CEO Steve Jobs claimed customers
didn't care about USB 3.0
and it wasn't time for them to be allowed to get it, anyways. Apple instead offers customers Thunderbolt, an early copper-based implementation of Intel Corp.'s (
) upcoming fiber-optic "LightPeak" technology.
LightPeak offers 20 Gbit/s bidirectional data transmission versus up to 5 Gbit/s with USB 3.0. While that sounds like a favorable trade, one relatively minor downside to this arrangement is that Apple customers have to pony up
a whopping $50 USD per cable
, thanks to the slew of microchips inside the complicated design. Further, while an extra $50 on a $5000 computer may not seem that bad, the
lack of selection
in terms of ThunderBolt peripherals offers a far more pressing issue for Apple computer users.
Now with
a new CEO
at the head of Apple the rumor has popped up yet again that the company will finally catch up to PCs in hardware by offering its customers USB 3.0.
, "A lot of people have been disappointed over Apple's lack of interest in the USB 3.0 standard, but thanks to a little bird, VR-Zone has heard that the company is still looking at USB 3.0 as a potential feature to add on future products. As to when and how this might happen is not something we know, but from our understanding it'll happen
Intel integrates USB 3.0 support into its chipsets."
The important word in that comment is "before". Intel is supposed to drop in support for the USB 3.0 standard
in its
Ivy Bridge
CPU series
, which will launch in 2012. If
's source is correct Apple could be preparing to deliver USB 3.0 slightly ahead of schedule in late 2011.
If Apple does that it'd probably have to go with a third party chip to add compatibility to its stock Intel chipset. That wouldn't be the first time Apple has done this -- its a well known secret that back in 2010 it
hacked at the stock chipsets
to allow graphics switching (similar to Optimus) between the integrated GPU in the Intel CPU core and the dedicated onboard NVIDIA Corp. (
) GeForce GPU.
Hopefully the rumors are true, after all, from our perspective there's little excuse to be peddling a $5,000 computer that lacks USB 3.0 support found in $700 Windows PCs.
"So, I think the same thing of the music industry. They can't say that they're losing money, you know what I'm saying. They just probably don't have the same surplus that they had." -- Wu-Tang Clan founder RZA

London Wasps claimed their first Premiership victory of the season when they beat London Irish 43-14 at Adams Park on Saturday.
London Wasps claimed their first Premiership victory of the season when they beat London Irish 43-14 at Adams Park on Saturday.
Two tries from Tom Varndell and 23 points from the boot of Stephen Jones helped Wasps to clinch the win.
Jones put the hosts ahead with a penalty early on in his competitive debut for the club but Steve Shingler responded with three points of his own for the visitors in a scrappy opening quarter as both sides wrestled for control of the game.
And Irish struck the first meaningful blow midway through the first half as flying winger Marland Yarde gave the perfect demonstration of why many people are so excited about Brian Smith's back-line, showing searing pace and quick feet to score the opening try.
Wasps wing Varndell nearly levelled things up but his try was disallowed for a forward pass.
Former Welsh international fly-half Jones did keep the scoreboard ticking over with two further penalties though.
The home side dominated possession and territory as the half wore on but handling errors cost them at crucial times and they went into the half-time interval behind as a late Shingler penalty gave London Irish an 11-9 lead.
It didn't take Wasps long to hit the front in the second half though and, after a fourth penalty from Jones, Varndell did get his name on the scoresheet as good work from the forwards and a quick burst from Christian Wade laid the platform for him to dive over in the corner.
Shingler did keep the visitors in the hunt by kicking another three points midway through the half to reduce the deficit but Joe Simpson's trademark snipe, which resulted in a try under the posts for the scrum-half, opened up a commanding lead again.
And, with the result as good as decided, Irish really crumbled in the final five minutes as Jones kicked another three points and the visiting defence conceded two more tries to hand Wasps a bonus point on a plate.
Replacement prop Zak Taulafo got the first before an excellent break from Simpson gave Varndell the opportunity to score his second of the game and wrap up a perfect afternoon for the Adams Park faithful.
The scorers:
For London Wasps:
Tries: Varndell 2, Simpson, Taulafo
Cons: Jones 4
Pens: Jones 5
For London Irish:
Tries: Yarde
Pens: Shingler 3
London Wasps: 15 Hugo Southwell (c), 14 Tom Varndell, 13 Elliot Daly, 12 Andrea Masi, 11 Christian Wade, 10 Stephen Jones, 9 Joe Simpson, 8 Ashley Johnson, 7 Jonathan Poff, 6 Joe Launchbury, 5 Marco Wentzel, 4 Tom Palmer, 3 Fabio Staibano, 2 T Rhys Thomas, 1 Tim Payne.
Replacements: 16 Tom Lindsay, 17 Simon McIntyre, 18 Zak Taulafo, 19 James Haskell, 20 Billy Vunipola, 21 Charlie Davies, 22 Nick Robinson, 23 Tommy Bell.
London Irish: 15 Tom Homer, 14 Topsy Ojo, 13 Jonathan Joseph, 12 Sailosi Tagicakibau, 11 Marland Yarde, 10 Steve Shingler, 9 Tomás O'Leary, 8 Jon Fisher, 7 Ofisa Treviranus, 6 Declan Danaher (c), 5 Bryn Evans, 4 George Skivington, 3 Leo Halavatau, 2 Scott Lawson, 1 Max Lahiff.

We are the (National) Champions: Understanding the Mechanisms of State Capitalism in China
Li-Wen Lin
University of British Columbia (UBC), Faculty of Law
Curtis J. Milhaupt
Columbia Law School
November 1, 2011
Columbia Law and Economics Working Paper No. 409
While China appears to present a new variety of capitalism, frequently labeled "state capitalism," the features of this system - particularly the organizational structure surrounding China's most important state-owned enterprises (the national champions) - remains a black box. Corporate governance scholarship on China has focused on listed firms, but listed SOEs in China are nested in vertically integrated corporate groups, and the groups are strategically linked to other business groups, as well as to the Communist Party and to governmental organs. While the parent company of the listed firms has a governmental controlling shareholder in the form of an agency called SASAC, deconstruction of this agency's control rights reveals that it has both less and more power than controlling shareholders in other regimes.
Unpacking the black box of Chinese state capitalism requires moving away from the standard focus on agency costs in listed firms that predominates in the corporate governance literature. Instead, we analyze the relational ecology that fosters production in a system where all roads eventually lead to the party-state. We introduce two analytical constructs to understand key features of industrial organization in China's state-owned sector: "Networked hierarchy" is our term for the way top-down governance features within individual state-controlled corporate groups are matched with strategic linkages to other state-controlled institutions. "Institutional bridging" is our term for the widespread use of systematized fasteners uniting separate components of the system. We argue that networked hierarchies and institutional bridges have been used in China to assemble what Mancur Olson called an "encompassing organization" - a coalition whose members own so much of society that they have important incentives to be actively concerned about how productive it is.
Exposing the mechanisms of state capitalism refocuses several scholarly debates in which China is conspicuous by its absence, including the law and finance literature and the debate over convergence in corporate governance systems. It also raises a question whose salience increases as the global interaction of Chinese firms expands: What forces have the potential to change the current institutional trajectory of corporate capitalism in China?

Luxor 2-in-1 Magnifying Mirror And Cosmetic OrganizerI bought the 10X magnifying mirror as I wasnt satisfied with the 5X mirrors currently on the market. I am very impressed with both the mirror (10X) power and the cosmetic organizer (small drawer below the mirror). The organizer is perfect for holding tweezers, small brushes, etc. I am also impressed with the quality of the product. It is well made and I have no doubt that it will last for years. Finally, I was impressed with how quickly I received the mirror after ordering it and how well package the product was so there was no chance of being damaged in shipment.Feb 15, 2006Kate

I Bought This Mirror For My Motheri was psyched when i found this Luxor 2-in-1 Magnifying Mirror and Cosmetic Organizer online. i had been searching for a mirror with 10x the magnification of a regular mirror, however all i found were mirrors with less magnification and more cost! when i stumbled upon this one i knew it was just right! i gave it to my mother as one of her christmas presents, it was actually what she had asked for, and she loves it! she puts her tweezers, etc. in the little organizer below the mirror and that way she never loses them. she sits the mirror on the counter in her bathroom. ive looked in this mirror and it is amazing what you can and cannot see with and without the magnification of this mirror. my mother & i will be recommending this mirror to our friends & family.Jan 11, 2006"anonymous"

ENOVIA Life Sciences Accelerator for New Product Experience
ENOVIA® Life Sciences Accelerator™ for New Product Experience provides project team members with real-time access.
ENOVIA Life Sciences Accelerator for New Product Experience allows global project team members to collaborate and report status on their assigned project tasks and deliverables. Once design deliverables are completed they are automatically included in the Design History File (DHF) , which is mandated by U.S. Federal Drug Administration (FDA) regulation 21 CFR 820.30(j) for quality audits and traceability purposes. Project members get real-time access and visibility to their project and assignments via stage gate and swim lane reports, raise risks and issues, and collaborate with cross-functional team members on project deliverables.
- Collaborate on task deliverables with real time reporting on actual status for assigned project tasks
- Mitigate and report status on assigned project risks
- Capture and execute ad-hoc project issues
- Visual displays of the deliverables, stages and functional area responsibilities to enable on-time completion of all design control activities
- Capture and submit weekly time sheets against a project for management approval
- Viewing and filtering of project deliverables that compose the DHF
Manage Task AssignmentsProject team members are provided with a consolidated list of their assigned project tasks from all the projects they are members. Project members can filter their tasks based on completion status.
Project VisualsMembers can leverage advanced visual project tracking dashboards to maximize visibility and effectively manage assigned deliverables and tasks. "Swim lanes" provide a birds-eye view of each project organized according to functional responsibilities. The stage gate view allows members to drill down into sections of the project and down to the individual tasks and deliverables.
Project ContentTeam members can establish a single environment for managing and sharing all project information — not just documents. By subscribing to document and folder events, members are informed immediately as changes and additions occur. Reports provide a consolidated list of project-related content from either the work breakdown structure or from the folder structure.
Team CollaborationProject members can create ad-hoc routes or workflows to circulate tasks, projects, and files for further work and/or approvals and conduct online discussions regarding a project or task. All team members can subscribe, view, and comment on the original discussion topic or any of the subsequent responses.
Issue / Risk ManagementIssues are real incidents, inquiries or problems that impact a project negatively, and risks are anything that can potentially impact a project negatively. Issue management provides a context for capturing, tracking and closing issues in the context of a project. Issues are identified, captured, classified and assigned to project members for resolution. Risk management enables project teams to identify, quantify, analyze and mitigate project risks. During the analysis process, risks need to be assessed and quantified in two dimensions. These two dimensions are impact and probability with ranges from 1-5. These dimension values help minimize these potential negative impacts by determining each risk priority and clarifying which project risks need mitigation.
Design History File and Product Dossier TrackingAs project members complete their activities and their associated task deliverables for a project, the DHF is generated automatically, in accordance with U.S. FDA regulation 21 CFR 820.30(j). Project deliverables can be viewed according to a number of configurable criteria to show only those deliverables that are most important to the user. The DHF provides dynamic links to related documents and data for improved visibility into related business processes.
View Project ProgressProject users can view the progress of their projects with swim lane and stage gate reports. The swim lane report view provides a birds-eye view of each project organized according to functional responsibilities. The stages gate report view allows users to drill down into sections of the project and review individual tasks and deliverables.
Weekly Time TrackingProject users can enter hours worked on a project or a task during the week, and submit them to either the functional manager or project manager for approval or rejection. ENOVIA® Program Experience provides time reports by project phase or by project member to track worked hours. By capturing a user's time throughout the week in a time sheet, the project manager has accurate status information, can project future progress, identify potential risks, and take the necessary actions to readjust the schedule or resources.
The Role of ENOVIA V6 and PLM 2.0ENOVIA Life Sciences Accelerator for New Product Experience supports PLM 2.0, product lifecycle management online for everyone, and the ENOVIA V6 values: global collaborative innovation, single PLM platform for intellectual property (IP) management, online creation and collaboration, ready to use PLM business processes, and lower cost of ownership.

|In response to Re: foul water odor
: Ralph:--Is the water smelly as delivered from the well or only after it arrives from the water heater?
: If it is the latter , the odor is that of Hydrogen Sulphide gas that is generated from the anode rod inside the water heater. As the anode is consumed in trying to protect the tanks innards, it gives off Hydrogen and Oxygen. It is this Hydrogen that couples to any free atoms present in the water to form the "rotten egg" odor
: of Hydrogen Sulphide Gas. Removing the anode will void your warranty on your water heater, but will probably get rid of the odor problem.

Energy Efficient Shades, Blinds & Window Treatments
- Be kind to your pocketbook, lower bills
- Reduce energy needs
- Thermal picks maintain inside temps
- Absorb outside heat & cold
- Block UV rays, protect furnishings
Add energy efficiency to your home by choosing the right window coverings. An insulating window shade will quickly pay for itself by lowering your heating and cooling bills. Cellular shades are the best insulator with year-round efficiency, and shutters are also a great choice. Roman shades and custom drapery with thermal lining also provide good insulation. Remember that shades must be closed to provide insulation, so choose a fabric opacity that fits your lighting needs. Solar screen shades provide view-through and summertime efficiency but should be paired with another treatment for nighttime privacy and winter insulation.

"Trouble-free shades"
By Carol from MI
I love your company! I have had nothing but problems with Hunter Douglas blinds. And I spent a fortune on them. The designers/interior decorators can have them - I'm sticking with Blindsgalore.View this product
