SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Shares of Dell Inc. tumbled Wednesday on disappointing results based on a sluggish corporate IT market and the impact of mobile devices led by the iPad, a trend one analyst dubbed "the Apple effect."
Dell's DELL, +1.14% report also appeared to signal problems for rival Hewlett-Packard Co. HPQ, +0.22% which posted its results after the market closed and whose shares also fell sharply in regular trading. Read the latest on H-P's earnings and layoffs.
Stock in Dell traded down 17.2% to close at $12.49 a day after the company reported weaker-than-expected results, and issued a sales outlook that fell below Wall Street's estimates. H-P shares shed 3.2% to close at $21.08. Read MarketWatch First Take, "Dell hurt in part by Asia, iPad."
Dell's quarterly report highlighted the impact of a wobbly corporate IT market, underscored by the uncertainty in Europe and anemic spending in the public sector.
But the company also pointed to troubles on the consumer front where personal-computer sales are feeling mounting pressure from tablets and smartphones, led by Apple Inc.'s AAPL, -0.22% iPad and iPhone products.
"Dell acknowledges the Apple effect," Barclays Capital analyst Ben Reitzes wrote in a note. The company's "results and commentary around tablets suggest to us that Apple continues to disrupt the traditional PC market and gain momentum through tablets and smartphones."
Brian Gladden, Dell's chief financial officer, told analysts that the company's notebook business contracted by 10% due to "a more aggressive competitive environment, particularly in the entry-level and emerging markets."
"We are seeing more consumer IT spending diverted to alternative mobile-computing devices," he said.
Dell has been pushing to de-emphasize its consumer business, as it strives for a bigger presence in higher-margin markets in corporate IT.
But the fact that the company highlighted problems in the consumer sector appears to be significant, and could signal similar problems for H-P, which also has a big exposure in the consumer and corporate markets for computers.
"Dell attributed competition from alternative mobile devices for the first time, meaning smartphones and tablets," Sterne Agee analyst Shaw Wu wrote in a note. "We are frankly not surprised, as we have said in the past our belief that consensus was underestimating the competitive impact from Apple in both small and medium-size business and enterprise markets."
Dell's report followed Cisco Systems Inc.'s CSCO, +2.13% warning of cautious IT spending, which appeared to hit the shares of other hardware makers.
Shares of NetApp NTAP, +0.58% EMC Corp. EMC, +5.56% Cisco CSCO, +2.13% and Juniper Networks Inc. JNPR, +0.59% were in the red.
"Following Cisco's disappointing quarter, we believe investors will question whether Dell's report signals a broader slowdown in tech spending," according to ISI analyst Brian Marshall.
He wrote in emailed comments that "no doubt revenue trends for large, mature tech companies are challenging." That's likely to be the case for H-P, which Marshall said is "likely to not post any revenue upside; however, I do expect them to beat on the bottom line, unlike Dell's big miss."
Still, Crawford Del Prete of IDC noted that H-P "has a wider global footprint, and a strong consumer printing base, so the complexion of consumer is different, but related."
He added: "I have a tough time seeing how consumer could be a source of relative strength for them given the Dell report."

LADWP sues another Eastern Sierra agency
By Mike Gervais
Inyo Register staff writer
Special to the Times
Los Angeles Department of Water and Power officials filed a federal lawsuit Oct. 12 to force the Great Basin Unified Air Pollution Control District to halt what the department is calling Great Basin's "systematic and unlawful issuance of water-wasting orders to L.A.'s customers," related to dust mitigation on Owens Lake.
The LADWP is claiming that it has met its obligations on the dry lake, and will not be spending more city money or water for new mitigation measures. Currently, the department said it is using approximately 50 percent of the water from the Los Angeles Aqueduct for dust mitigation, and purchasing water from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California to make up the difference.
The LADWP did say it would continue its current dust mitigation projects.
Great Basin Unified Air Pollution Control Officer Ted Schade said the LADWP has reduced dust blowing off the dry lake by 90 percent, but is required by law to reduce at least 99 percent of the dust. The LADWP said the most recent orders would require LADWP to spend another $400 million for mitigation that it says it did not cause.
"These orders, according to the lawsuit, are in violation of the California State Constitution and federal and state laws and will, unless they are halted, result in the continued waste of billions of gallons of scarce California drinking water," a press release from the LADWP stated.
"Los Angeles water consumers have devoted more than $1.2 billion over the last decade to control Owens Lake dust," said LADWP General Manager Ron Nichols. "And we have achieved exactly what we agreed to do and were required to do by Great Basin. As we wrap up our obligations, the local regulator moves the goal posts, making up his own interpretation of the law without accountability to even his own board. Great Basin seeks to force L.A. to spend hundreds of millions more to reduce dust that the City did not create—all while requiring L.A. to fund 90 percent of his entire agency's operating costs—including staff salaries, pension system and paying his outside lawyers at the rate of $750 an hour. Enough is enough."
"This was a complete surprise to us," said Schade. "I thought we were going into mediation, a discussion, but it seems they have decided to declare war here."
"The LADWP brought this lawsuit only as an absolute last resort," said Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa. "We have no intent to walk away from our fundamental obligations at Owens Lake. In fact, over recent months, we have been working productively with federal and state officials on a process that would have both protected the environment while saving enormous amounts of water and safeguarding the pocketbooks of Los Angeles ratepayers. Unfortunately, just one agency stood in the way of progress by continuing to issue unreasonable orders on the people of Los Angeles. As a result, we had no choice but to go to court."
Meanwhile, another Eastern Sierra agency, the Mammoth Community Water District, which was sued by LADWP over water rights to Mammoth Creek last year and was in settlement talks with LADWP last week hoping to avoid going to court, is watching the case closely.
Although the two lawsuits are over very different issues, the fact that there have been two such high-profile lawsuits filed against Eastern Sierra resource managers within the past year could signal a new direction for an already contentious relationship between the big city water company and local agencies, officials say.
Add the fact that the water used to mitigate dust on the dry lake is that much less water in the system for LADWP customers could also be a motive for the agency to try to "sew up" as many water rights as possible—including those to Mammoth Creek.

After more than two years of indecisive fighting along the Isonzo River, the Austro-Hungarian command devoted more resources to strengthening the Italian front. Using new infiltration tactics and heavy artillery, the 14th Army overwhelmed its enemy for nearly two weeks, until the Italian line finally held up near the Piave River with help from the French and British. The one-sided battle resulted in some 300,000 casualties and 265,000 prisoners, and contributed to the formation of the Allied Supreme War Council.

Movement of the press corps from the media center at the Sheraton Hotel on 7th Avenue at 53rd Street has been a mind-boggling exercise in the art of well-supervised hurry-up-and-wait. Few would quibble with the need for security with the pope in town. Many would be impressed with the NYPD escort given to each group of buses after the media reps are "swept" (security-cleared) by Secret Service agents and police dogs. Most would question the wisdom of taking a convoy of very tall coaches up the Henry Hudson Parkway in New York, a road well-known for its low, arched stone bridges.
Truth! It happened Saturday. The press people assembled before 7 a.m. for the first of two bus caravans to St. Joseph's Seminary in Yonkers for the youth rally and blessing of disabled youth. The 7:30 a.m. fleet of three buses, accompanied by a pair of Secret Service agents in a black FX4 off-road truck, pulled away from the curb at 9:15 and followed the NYPD lead vehicle up Manhattan's West Side. The very local gang of mostly TV people on my bus started to wonk when it became clear that the police were leading us under increasingly lower bridges, despite clearance warnings.
The betting was on the leader's unquestioning use of GPS. The remarks were humorous and largely unprintable. Our driver said that our clearance was 11′ 10″ — yet the lead vehicle did not turn off at the sign marking the last exit before before the 9'2″ bridge. From my front-row seat, it was a little unnerving to see the bus driver throw up both of his hands simultaneously -and hear him announce that he needed a drink.
So, the buses stopped (no, they did not pull over) and the Secret Service guys, literally men in black, hopped out of the chase vehicle and spoke with the cops. (Meanwhile, of course, other motorists whipped by. ) The buses backed up on the parkway and followed the police onto surface roads.
The locals on the bus knew the best route and so were more than annoyed when the police team stopped at an intersection in the Riverdale neighborhood of the Bronx and asked directions of a man who came out of a nearby house. One rider jumped off the bus and went to offer guidance to the police.
When we got within range of the seminary, a local traffic cop determined that we were not cleared to proceed. That did not stop her from letting a dozen buses filled with teens pass. When we arrived outside the seminary at 10:45, another local office tried to divert us again!
But hey, we were lucky. The 10 a.m. buses were delayed, canceled, reinstated and arrived after 2 p.m.

SACS: Comprehensive Standard 3.4.4: Acceptance of Academic Credit and Comprehensive Standard 3.4.7: Consortial Relationships/ Contractual Agreements; Collaborative Academic Arrangements: Policy and Procedures
1. Introduction
The state of North Carolina through the UNC-GA maintains Comprehensive Articulation Agreements between its 17 constituent institutions and most of North Carolina's Community Colleges. The NCCC/UNC Bilateral Inventory by University (2009, pp. 3-5) lists 59 such agreements between ECU and community colleges, which offer programs that align with ECU's degree programs. That list is accessible on the NC Community Colleges website:
http://www.nccommunitycolleges.edu/programs/docs/CollegeTransfer/Bilateral%20Agreement/Bilaterals%202009%20by%20University%20Word%20version%209.17.09.pdf. As new programs are approved and curricula evolve, East Carolina University may enter into articulation agreements that are of mutual benefit to ECU and to other community colleges. The special circumstances surrounding transfer agreements for associate in applied science (AAS) programs, which are not designed for transfer, require bilateral rather than statewide articulation. Special circumstances include the different accreditation criteria for faculty in transfer and non-transfer programs, the different general education requirements for transfer and non-transfer programs, and the workforce preparedness mission of the technical/community college AAS programs. Under bilateral agreements, ECU and one or more community colleges may join in a collaborative effort to facilitate the transfer of students from AAS degree programs to baccalaureate degree programs. Each articulation or bilateral agreement must clearly demonstrate that its objectives are consistent with the ECU mission and that it is appropriate to the degrees, programs or courses to which it applies. The purpose of this regulation is to institutionalize a planned and smooth procedure for academic units seeking to develop a bilateral agreement.
2. Relevant Definitions
SACS defines three types of contractual relationships, which will be covered by this regulation: [See Commission policy "Collaborative Academic Arrangements: Policy and Procedures," available at www.sacscoc.org.]
2.1.1. Consortial Relationship: A consortial relationship typically is one in which two or more institutions share in the responsibility of developing and delivering courses and programs that meet mutually agreed-upon standards of academic quality.
2.1.2. Contractual Agreement: A contractual agreement typically is one in which an institution enters an agreement with another institution or service provider for receipt or delivery of courses/programs or portions of courses or programs delivered by another institution or service provider.
2.1.3. Collaborative Academic Arrangements: Collaborative academic arrangements are agreements by institutions accredited by SACSCOC and accredited or non-accredited degree-granting institutions of higher education throughout the world for purposes of awarding academic credits and/or educational program completion credentials, e.g., certificates, diplomas, degrees or transcripts. Institutions describe collaborative academic arrangements in many different ways, most commonly identifying them as dual or joint educational programs, affiliations, partnerships, and consortial agreements. [See Commission policy "Collaborative Academic Arrangements: Policy and Procedures," available at www.sacscoc.org.]
3. University Bilateral Agreements Committee (UBAC)
The Office of the Provost will appoint a University Bilateral Agreements Committee (UBAC) by June 2012.
3.1. UBAC Charge
The committee will meet a minimum of once each semester to review and recommend approval/disapproval of pending bilateral agreements.
3.2. Review of Existing Bilateral Agreements
All bilateral agreements currently in force by ECU will be reviewed on biennially. A significant component of each review will be to evaluate the extent to which the agreement demonstrates that its objectives are consistent with the ECU mission and that it is appropriate to the degrees, programs or courses to which it applies.
3.3. UBAC Review Criteria
The UBAC will review bilateral agreements using/considering the following criteria and factors:
3.3.1. Results of annual evaluations conducted by the participating ECU department.
3.3.2. The agreement continues to demonstrate that its objectives are consistent with the ECU mission and that it is appropriate to the degrees, programs or courses to which it applies.
3.3.3. The agreement contains all information required for submission of a new bilateral agreement including appropriate signatures.
3.3.4. The agreement is current in terms of the dates of the agreement.
3.3.5. The specific criteria contained within the agreement are still appropriate under current university or UNC GA rules or policies.
3.3.6. The committee will solicit from the department, school or college the level of current student participation in the agreement.
3.4. Range of Committee Recommendations
The recommendations of the UBAC should include one of the following components for each agreement reviewed:
3.4.1. Continue the agreement.
3.4.2. Recommend changes to the agreement for failure to comply to any of the requirements stated previously.
3.4.3. Recommend renegotiation of the agreement if significant changes have occurred.
3.4.4. Recommendation to vacate the agreement for appropriate reason stated by the UBAC.
3.5. UBAC Membership
UBAC membership will consist of 4 faculty and 3 administrators representing
different departments and colleges. Members will serve three-year terms.
4. Approval Procedure for New Bilateral Agreements
4.1. Department chair completes the university's Proposed Bilateral Agreement Form (PBAF)(Attachment I, ECU and Pitt Community College Agreement). With interdisciplinary degree programs, the chair of the program's coordinating committee (faculty from different disciplines/departments) presents the PBAF to the dean or vice chancellor under whose authority the interdisciplinary degree resides.
4.1.1. After review and approval by the department chair and dean, the PBAF is forwarded to the University Bilateral Agreement Committee for review and recommendation.
4.1.2. After review and a positive recommendation by the UBAC, the PBAR is forwarded to the Provost for review and approval.
4.2. Each approved bilateral agreement will be forwarded to the Office of Academic Program Planning and Development, which is the university repository for such documents. The Office of Academic Program Planning and Development subsequently will make the agreement available to the public.
4.3. Each bilateral agreement must contain a clause that allows either institution to vacate the agreement provided 30-day notification is offered. Reasons for breaking the agreement may be, but are not limited to, the following: insufficient participation in the agreement, revocation of regional or other accreditation, misalignment between mission of the university or other reasons as may reflect on the appropriateness of the agreement.
4.4. Each agreement must contain a starting date, a review date (must be evaluated by the department annually and reviewed by the UBAC biennially), and an ending date.
4.5 Each agreement must contain a description of the parties entering into the agreement.
4.6. Each agreement must contain a preamble containing a general statement regarding the nature of the agreement.
4.7. Each agreement must contain a specific set of criteria for which the agreement will function, and against which the participating ECU department can annually evaluate its effectiveness.
4.8. Each agreement must be signed by representatives from each institution representing all of the following:
4.8.1. Department chairperson or unit head.
4.8.2. Dean of the college.
4.8.3. Chief academic officer or chief executive officer.
5. Effective Date of Regulation Implementation: June 1, 2012.

A talk by Robert Nichols, Richard Stockton College, NJ. Part of the conference: Great Games? Afghan History through Afghan Eyes
Download Podcast
Duration: 00:17:56
The year 2011 marks the eightieth anniversary of the death of Fayz Muhammad Katib, often considered to have been the founder of modern Afghan history writing. Whether in the present day or in the Katib's own period, Afghans have long invested in a multiplicity of historiographical models to make sense of the tortured development path of the Afghan state. Recent international intervention in Afghanistan has created or reproduced many narratives of the Afghan national story, from repeatedly doomed invasions to perpetual fault lines of ethnic division. Yet very little attention has been given to the ways in which Afghans themselves have understood their history, whether as national Afghans or international socialists, as members of ethnic qawms or Muslims.
This conference focuses on patterns and case studies of the historical writings which Afghans have produced in abundance since the formation of the Afghan state in the mid-eighteenth century and which form crucial but under-researched sources on Afghans' own representations of state, society and culture. Bringing together the leading international specialists on Afghan historiography, the conference represents the first consolidated attempt to study the range of historical genres and narratives produced by Afghans themselves.

Young sailor lived her dream
Stonington - When Laura Dekker walked into a packed classroom at New England Science & Sailing in the borough Thursday night wearing jeans, boots and a lime hoodie, she looked like any other 17-year-old girl.
The difference is that on Jan. 20, 2011, when she was just 15, the Dutch teen set off in a sailboat from Sint Maarten in the Caribbean on a 366-day, 27,000-mile journey. When she finished the trip on Jan. 21 of this year, she had become the youngest person to sail around the world solo. She was 16 years, 123 days old.
On Thursday night, the poised and humorous Dekker entertained about 100 people while describing her trip, showing photos and videos and answering questions that ranged from what kind of sails she used to how she kept up with schoolwork.
Aboard her 38-foot ketch, Guppy, she battled storms with 25-foot seas, long periods without any wind, equipment breakdowns and birds that made a mess of her boat.
She worked and made friends at the ports she visited, subsisted on spaghetti and spent last Christmas by herself in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean with a small Christmas tree and presents her parents had given her in South Africa.
Dekker admitted that, at times, the trip was boring. "But I enjoyed the quiet out there - the quiet on the boat," she said, describing a 48-day passage to South Africa. "After four weeks, I didn't care if it was five, six or seven weeks."
Dekker grew up much differently from most children, living aboard a boat for the first five years of her life, sailing with her parents. The family eventually moved back to their native Holland.
Dekker began sailing when she was 6 and racing when she was 8. At age she 11 began taking multiweek sailing trips on her own off the coast of Holland and in the North Sea.
When she was 13 she sailed to England by herself without telling her father, with whom she has lived since she was 5. "The police there didn't think it was a good idea and I got in a little trouble," she said.
"After that trip," Dekker told the rapt audience, "I wanted to sail around the world. It was a dream I had since I was 8."
Dekker then began a yearlong court battle with the Dutch government, which opposed her plan even though both her parents had given her permission. The government eventually relented and let her parents decide.
Dekker's quest, along with those of other teens seeking to accomplish such feats as climbing Mount Everest, prompted an international debate about the wisdom of allowing people so young to participate in such potentially dangerous activities.
'I wanted to go further'
Dekker's trip really began in August 2010, when she was 14. She and her father set off from Holland to Gibraltar aboard the red-hulled boat, which features a cartoon-style guppy painted near the bow. From there, she left on her own for the Canary Islands and Cape Verde.
She said that first trip was scary. "I was out there by myself with nothing to do," she recalled. "But after that I wanted to go further."
Dekker then made the 2,400-mile crossing to the Caribbean, where she visited some of the islands. Sint Maarten became her official starting point, as she was not planning to sail back to Holland. She then traversed the Panama Canal into the Pacific Ocean.
"That felt like a big step," she said. "Before that I felt like I could turn around. But now I had to keep going."
She said the Pacific was where she saw the most sea life. She showed a video of dolphins, white tip reef sharks, hammerheads, spotted eagle rays, green sea turtles, spotted snake eels, exotic fish and pelicans.
Birds, however, she did not like, even though one stayed with her for a week. "The birds are annoying because they (expletive) on your boat," she said. "They (expletive) on your solar panels, and that was the only way I could get power."
Dekker wore a safety harness at all times, and one day a wave knocked over her boat. She had left some of the hatches open, she said, and she "had a wet and salty bed for the next 30 days."
The storms challenged her sailing ability, Dekker said, but the windless days were worse because she made no progress.
She loved squalls, however: "The rain showers were epic because I finally got a chance to shower."
For half the trip Dekker had no equipment to get weather reports and just dealt with whatever came up. "It's better not knowing, because then you think about it for two days," she said.
When she completed her trip, she was greeted by her father, mother and sister - who is in the circus.
Dekker, who speaks English, Dutch and German, said she especially liked going ashore by herself and meeting people.
Asked about the threat of pirates, she said she avoided the Red Sea and turned off her GPS in places so no one could track her. Off Australia, she said, a "weird vessel" followed her for a while but turned away after customs planes flew overhead.
'What do you do now?'
Dekker said that as she neared Sint Maarten, she wasn't looking forward to the end of the journey. "You dream about a trip like this for so long and then you finally finish," she said. "What do you do now? I hadn't thought about that."
Since completing the voyage Dekker has sailed the Guppy back to New Zealand, where she plans to live, making stops in the South Pacific along the way. This time she had a crew because she said she now wants to share her experiences with other people.
She's finishing a book about her exploits, and a movie is being made. She's spent the past few weeks in New York, working aboard a schooner and speaking to groups such as the one on Thursday night. She will return to New Zealand in a few days.
Dekker said she wants to get back into racing, get her captain's license and eventually finish high school, when she gets the time. "I always get that question," she joked when someone asked her about school.
She said the best places she visited were the islands of the South Pacific, such as the Marquesas, Tonga, Fiji and Bora Bora. She warned one audience member thinking of visiting the Galapagos to avoid one of the islands because of its many sea lions.
"I don't know how they do it, but they climb on everything," she said of the large marine mammals. "I woke up one night and there was (a) sea lion lying in my cockpit. Three steps further and he would have ended up next to me in bed."
When the same sailor asked her how hard it was for her to get a permit to land in the Galapagos, Dekker said she just sailed in. "I gave them some money and they handed me a permit," she said nonchalantly.
Asked about the biggest lesson she learned on the trip, Dekker responded with one that many parents of teenage girls might wish their daughters would learn.
"I learned that a house does not clean itself," she said, drawing laughter from the crowd.

Care, Care & Community in Kenya by Jayshrie Sivananthan
During the summer of 2014, I spent two incredible weeks volunteering for the Care & Community project in Nakuru, Kenya. I decided to join the High School Special programme because, as a 17 year old travelling alone, I felt that this would be a great way to meet and volunteer with people my own age.
Arriving in Kenya
When I arrived at the airport in Nairobi after a long flight from London, I was really nervous. After all, it was my first time volunteering abroad and I was all by myself. However, as soon as I exited the airport, I was greeted by two Projects Abroad staff members and was introduced to two other volunteers who had just arrived at the airport. Everyone was so friendly and my nerves were soon replaced by excitement.
The two other volunteers and I were taken to a guesthouse in Nairobi to stay the night before driving to Nakuru the following morning. The 2.5 hour drive to Nakuru went by quickly, with all of us chatting and getting to know each other along the way. We even stopped by a viewpoint where we saw a stunning view of the Rift Valley.
Upon arriving in Nakuru the next day, we were taken to the Projects Abroad office where we met all the other volunteers on the project and were given a brief introduction. We were also shown around the town and were taken to buy Kenyan sim cards. In the evening, we were taken to meet our host families. By then, any nerves I had previously were gone completely and I couldn't wait to get started at my placement!
My host family
My host mum was called Rose. She had a beautiful home, overlooking Lake Nakuru where I stayed with two other volunteers. Rose was very welcoming and kind and I immediately felt comfortable and at home.
Every evening, Christine, the housekeeper, would cook us delicious Kenyan traditional food such as Chapati, Ugali and Beef Stew. Over dinner, we'd chat to Rose about our day and she'd tell stories about her life in Kenya.
My Care & Community placement
My placement was at Bethesda Childcare Centre. Every morning, we would help out with the cementing and painting of rooms in a new building that was being built there. We carried out tasks such as chipping the floor, filtering gravel, mixing cement as well as sandpapering and painting the walls. Some of the work was physically demanding but it was fulfilling. All the other volunteers and I got along really well and it felt fantastic to be able to work as part of a team.
In the afternoon, we would spend time with the children at Bethesda. This was definitely my favourite part of the project. The kids, aged 4-7, were so enthusiastic, full of energy and always bursting with smiles. We played games such a football and tag and sang nursery rhymes with them. The kids even taught us a rhyme in Swahili!
I noticed however, that a lot of the kids at Bethesda didn't own a proper pair of shoes, yet most of them had to make the 3.5km walk from their homes to Bethesda every single day. I came up with the idea to buy each of the 75 children at Bethesda a new pair of shoes. With the amazing cooperation of the Projects Abroad staff and the other volunteers, we actually managed to make this happen.
The other volunteers and I came up with the money by each contributing some (some of our family members contributed as well) and the staff members helped out with the buying of the shoes. It was an amazing feeling to present the shoes to the kids and see the smiles on their faces.
Other activities
My two weeks in Kenya weren't all work. We were given the opportunity to visit some of the fantastic sites in Nakuru. We got the chance to see the breath-taking views at the Menengai Crater and Thomson Falls. We also were given the opportunity to learn more about Kenyan culture by joining a cooking class (we were taught how to make Chapati) as well as a traditional dance lesson (it's not easy, but its lots of fun!).
During the weekend, we visited the Lake Nakuru safari as well at the Lake Naivasha boat safari. Seeing the giraffes, zebras, antelope, buffaloes, hippos and other wildlife up close was incredible. It was like a scene out of a movie.
My two weeks in Kenya were an amazing experience that I will keep with me forever. I've made so many new friends and so many incredible memories. Kenya is a beautiful country with a unique culture and lovely people. I definitely recommend visiting Kenya.

Hardly a week goes by that people don't tell me how they wish the open block where the Webb Companies hopes to build CentrePointe could become a public park instead.
As the block awaits redevelopment, it is planted in grass and surrounded by a plank fence to resemble a horse pasture. It has become a popular gathering place during downtown festivals. (At other times, it is off-limits, just as horse pastures are.)
CentrePasture's popularity points to a couple of ironies about Lexington.
One is that we have a lot of open space, but little public space. The other is that we are surrounded by some of the world's most beautiful rural landscapes — an artful blend of the natural and man-made — but our central business district is a generic jungle of concrete and asphalt. There are only a handful of small parks or plazas downtown, and few trees of any size.

Although recent renovations of Triangle and Cheapside parks have been excellent, the comments I hear make me think Lexington residents still yearn for more public space downtown.
The Downtown Development Authority on Monday will choose the winner of a design competition for Town Branch Commons — some form of linear park on city-owned property along the path of the long-buried stream that gave birth to Lexington.
This project would involve bringing parts of the creek back to the surface, either literally or symbolically, to create attractive public spaces for nature and a variety of activities. A jury of design professionals was to recommend a winner to the DDA board after closed-door presentations Friday by the five finalists.
The competition attracted 23 entries. The finalists are among the world's best landscape architects and designers: Coen + Partners in Minneapolis; Denver-based Civitas; the Netherlands firm Inside Outside; Scape Landscape Architecture of New York; and Copenhagen-based Julien De Smedt Architects working with Balmori Associates of New York.
All five finalists' designs will be on display at the Downtown Arts Center from Tuesday until Feb. 22, including during Gallery Hop on Feb. 15.
I can't wait to see the designs, especially after hearing the finalists make presentations about their previous work Thursday at the Lexington Children's Theatre. They showed amazing projects from all over the world, including in cities such as Bilbao, Spain, that had far more daunting problems than Lexington has.
(An interesting side note is that three of the six presenters were women: design legends Diana Balmori and Petra Blaisse and one of landscape architecture's rising stars, Kate Orff.)
(Also worth mentioning: several of the landscape architects showed projects that used wetland parks to effectively solve storm-water problems. Lexington officials should remember that as they decide how to spend millions of dollars on storm water issues under terms of the federal consent decree.)
I can already hear Lexington's naysayers: This whole idea is impractical, unaffordable and frivolous. It is none of that.
The compelling argument for Town Branch Commons is not esthetic, but economic. This sort of urban public space has been an effective way to attract people and investment dollars to cities of all sizes, from Seoul, South Korea to Yonkers, N.Y.
People who have attended recent Commerce Lexington trips have seen it work in Greenville, S.C., where a long-neglected riverbank became Falls Park; and in San Antonio, where a once-buried stream similar to Town Branch became the Riverwalk, now Texas' second-largest tourist attraction after the Alamo.
New York's High Line project turned an abandoned elevated rail line into a linear park that has transformed a once-decaying section of lower Manhattan. Despite huge cost overruns, the Millennium Park that Chicago built over an urban rail yard has more than paid for itself with the private development it has attracted.
The kind of public-private partnership envisioned with Town Branch Commons is under way in Atlanta, which is turning an abandoned rail line around the city into 1,300 acres of parks and 33 miles of trails, and in Louisville, which has raised more than $60 million in private money for the 21st Century Parks project that is creating 4,000 acres of linear parkland and 100 miles of trails around that city.
What excites me about the potential of Town Branch Commons was mentioned frequently by the world-class designers who submitted plans. This isn't about building Disney World in a swamp; it is an authentic reflection of Lexington's history, geography and culture.
Pioneers chose Town Branch as the site for their town, laying out Lexington's grid according to the creek's path rather than a compass. Its banks were where early Lexingtonians gathered for fun and refreshment before the stream was polluted, built over and eventually buried.
Town Branch Commons will require public money and even more private money. But it could be a great long-term investment, one that uses the authenticity of Lexington's past to create both an amenity and economic generator for the future.

McLaren change stirs up Hamilton, Alonso rumours
Deep into a second consecutive bad season for the grandee team, the changes at McLaren have begun.
The most noticeable sign of the restructuring process at the Woking based team in Hockenheim is that Jenson Button - whose own future in grey is also under review - is working with a new race engineer.
If Tom Stallard's name sounds familiar, it's because he won a silver medal rowing for Britain in the 2008 olympics.
He replaces Dave Robson, who is heading for a factory-based job.
"It's not about getting rid of people," Button insists, "it's moving people to better suited roles or making them feel refreshed.
"There are people who are being employed as well, because I think we need that."
The experienced British driver, however, hopes he is not involved in the McLaren reshuffles, as the team prepares for its works Honda era beginning next year.
Among the highest profile names linked with Button's seat have been his former McLaren teammate, Lewis Hamilton, and another 2007 McLaren driver, Fernando Alonso.
According to the Hamilton rumour, the highly-rated Briton might not want to stay at Mercedes in 2015 if his newly re-signed and now highly paid teammate Nico Rosberg is wearing the number '1' on the silver car.
Hamilton played a straight bat to the rumour at Hockenheim.
"I'm very happy in the team and naturally I assume I'll sit down with the bosses," he said.
"It's very difficult for me to see myself anywhere else but you never know what the future may hold," Hamilton added.
As for the Alonso rumour, the Spaniard is famous for being central to F1's customary 'silly season', particularly since he began to show signs of frustration with his continuing struggle to win a title wearing Ferrari red.
Alonso was at Maranello last week for simulator tests, but perhaps he also sat down with Marco Mattiacci and Luca di Montezemolo to talk about the future.
"I talk to the president and Mattiacci every day," he said on Thursday. "There is no news in that regard.
"The same thing has always happened to me in July, probably since 2003. These questions about contracts, signings and extensions," said Alonso.
"I haven't talked to any team, or anything of the sort. It's not the priority."

Car Rental Hawaii is committed to obtaining the best possible deals for Japanese travelers coming to Hawaii looking to rent a car.
First, you need to make an important decision about insurance coverage. Our intent is not to sell you anything, only to inform you of your options so you can make the appropriate choice when you rent.
When you rent a car in Hawaii, it comes standard with only "Basic Insurance" - just enough to legally drive the car. This is because most americans have their own car insurance covering them, when they rent a car. If you rent the car with "Basic Insurance" anything happen to the car or toward 3rd parties, is your liability. If you add Insurance at the counter it costs you up to 55 Dollar per day extra on top of the booked rate.
We want to spare you the unpleasant experience and offer a so called "insurance package deal" which not only includes 100% Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and up to 1 Mio additional Liability Insurance, but also 1 additional drivers and 1 Free Tank of gas (you pickup the car full and return it empty). But often is cheaper than the rate with no insurance included. (non-US Drivers License needed to qualify for this deal!).
We offer 2 ways to book a rental car with us:
- with Basic Insurance only (you are 100% liable for any damage to the vehicle or to third parties)
- with Additional Insurance included (CDW covers 100% of whatever happens to the vehicle; EP covers $1 Million of third party liability)

Mr. Luther Coggin, Mrs. Toni Crawford, Mr. Wilfredo Gonzalez, Mrs. Ann Hicks, Dr. Chip Klostermeyer, Mrs. Joan Newton, Dr. Bruce Taylor, Mrs. Carol Thompson, Ms. Rachael Tutwiler, Mr. Kevin Twomey
Dr. Edythe Abdullah, Mrs. Wanyonyi Kendrick
Chair Taylor called the meeting to order.
Chair Taylor asked for a motion to approve the April 26, 2007 minutes. The motion was offered, seconded and approved unanimously.
Chair Taylor reported on the Board of Governor's (BOG) nominating committee's recommendation to nominate Mr. Hugh Green to UNF's Board of Trustees. While recognizing that Mr. Green would be a valuable asset to UNF's Board, Chair Taylor suggested that the BOG might show some deference to recommendations that come from boards of trustees who support the BOG's initiatives. Trustees Coggin and Gonzalez echoed these sentiments, Trustee Taylor's expectations for Mr. Green's service, and the need for greater input into the BOG's decision making process.
Chair Taylor said he would convey the views of the BOT to the leadership of the BOG.
President Delaney had no comments at this time for the Board.
There were no comments from the public.
Chair Taylor asked Trustee Twomey to chair the meeting, since Chair Taylor was attending by conference call. Trustee Twomey then asked Vice President Shuman to address the items.
Vice President Shuman stated that at the last Board meeting, a proposal was presented that the University believed to meet the intentions of both the BOG and the Division of Bond Finance. She stated feedback had since been provided by the BOG and the Division of Bond Finance, including a request for a few changes: increase cash by $12 million; debt guidelines would be met in the first year with a 1.17 x coverage, followed by a 1.20 x ratio for out-years; per student revenue assumptions would be increased from $2,400 to $2,700 per bed, per semester.
Trustee Gonzalez asked for clarification regarding action from the Board. Vice President Shuman stated that this item required approval from the Board for the resolution to authorize debt.
Trustee Twomey asked for a motion to approve the resolution authorizing the issuance of debt for student housing. Trustee Newton offered the motion, which was seconded by Trustee Gonzalez. The motion was approved unanimously.
Trustee Twomey asked Vice President Shuman to speak about this item.
Vice President Shuman stated that the Board had previously approved a resolution for bonding for the Student Union building. This resolution was being brought back to the Board for reapproval based on slight revisions. She stated that these revisions increased the cost of the Student Union from $48 million to $50 million, with the additional $2 million to be used for improvements to the amphitheater area and some aesthetic changes.
Vice President Shuman stated that revisions to this resolution had been approved by the UNFFC and the Finance and Audit Committee. These revisions also seemed acceptable with the BOG staff and the Division of Bond Finance.
Trustee Twomey asked for a motion to approve the revisions to the resolution for bonding for the Student Union building. Trustee Gonzalez offered the motion and Trustee Crawford seconded. The motion was approved unanimously.
Trustee Twomey adjourned the meeting.

Cultural Revolution
The "Cultural Revolution" was a disastrous attempt to reform the economics, education and politics of Communist China, which led to the deaths of tens of millions of people. The upheaval began in August 1966 by Chinese Chairman Mao Zedong. His objective was to replace leaders with people who would think like him and be supportive of him as Chairmen, make the Chinese Communist Party function the way he wanted, give the Chinese youth a revolutionary experience, and make changes so that education, health care, and cultural systems would be for the entirety of China and not just for the elite. In order to do this, he began to establish a cult towards himself. His party would be forced to support him as he had little patience for opponents during what he believe to be the pinnacle point of China's future as a communist state. He quickly began a system of purges to cleanse of any unwanted opposition toward him or to the gang of four, especially after he was embarrassed with the part rejecting his great leap forward policies[1] Mao Zedong wanted the Cultural Revolution to affect everyone in China but it mostly affected those in urban places.
In August 1966 all schools were closed. During this time Mao told the Red Guards to question things that traditionally had great value and importance, and question the activities of government officials by slighting them in a way that was visible to all. This resulted in the harm and even death of many people. In the end, Mao Zedong achieved none of what he wanted.
He began this revolution in his last ten years of power because he feared that China would become like the Soviet Union and that he might have a bad, if any, place in history.
Like Job, he feared that "my life is wind: mine eye shall no more see good."[2]
There had been disagreement over the end of the Cultural Revolution. With the death of Mao Zedong in 1977 there was little reason for it to continue. Moreover, with the arrest of the Gang of Four,[3] the elite of the communist party who were overthrown by their own Party. However,1968 has also been given as a date as, with the arrest of Liu Shao-chi, Mao would have no reason to continue the revolution.[4]

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 11 diseños de 5 diseñadores freelance.
I am looking to have a brochure made that reflects the ideals of my company, but has a style completely different from that of my website. I would create this myself, but I lack in the creativity department.
I am looking for a tri-fold brochure, something really pleasing to the eye. I am going to get it professionally printed.
The Brochure needs to reflect what I offer, a customized nutritional supplement based on the customers DNA.
A template would probably be best, that way I can add and remove things if I need.
Here are some examples to use in the brochure:
What if you could know with absolute certainty, specifically what nutrients your body needs?
No more "One Size Fits All", No More Guessing Games...
Just the TRUTH, Straight from the source itself...
Your Very Own DNA!
It is now possible to obtain a health supplement personalized to your body and it's unique needs!
Take the guesswork out of your health.
How many hundreds of dollars do you waste a month on impulse foods and supplements?
Do you know if these products are actually useful for your body?
Introducing LifeMAP Nutrition Systems
A Premium, plant-based formula, rich in whole foods, extracts,
phytonutrients, and antioxidants to help you achieve and maintain optimal health and well being.
By simply rubbing a cotton swab from the "Genewize DNA Assesment Kit" (click to find out how to get one) inside your cheek Gene Wise can quickly determine exactly what nutrients your body needs to perform at optimal health based on your very own genetic blueprint.
Why is this good for you?.
Well, because it takes the guesswork out of choosing your nutritional supplements. No more should I take this or that, you now have an EXACT formula of what your body is lacking to ensure peak performance internally.
All of this is achieved through a simple DNA test. Simply swab
your cheek, mail away the kit, and in a few weeks,
enjoy the benefits of having a health product
