Brazil's Boom From 2001 Through 2011 Was Driven by Demand -- Domestic and International; Further Growth and Value Creation Will Require Addressing the Country's Stagnant Productivity, According to BCG
Brazil's Boom From 2001 Through 2011 Was Driven by Demand -- Domestic and International; Further Growth and Value Creation Will Require Addressing the Country's Stagnant Productivity, According to BCG
SAO PAULO, BRAZIL--(Marketwire - Jan 30, 2013) - Brazil's productivity growth has stagnated, and if productivity does not improve, it will weigh on the country's economy, according to a new report by The Boston Consulting Group (BCG). The report, "Brazil: Confronting the Productivity Challenge," is being released today.
The report states that from 2004 through 2011, Brazil's most liquid publicly traded companies produced an average annual total shareholder return of 19 percent. That impressive growth came mostly from gains in revenues due to a growing Brazilian middle class and global demand for Brazilian commodities.
However, according to the report, slower credit expansion and a sluggish global economy will weaken demand, so companies operating in Brazil will have to look for value creation avenues that are less dependent on pure growth. In this context, productivity emerges as the key challenge for individual companies and for Brazil's economy as a whole.
During the past decade, Brazil's economy grew largely by adding more people to its employed population rather than by increasing the output of each worker. This approach is not sustainable, and the country will need to improve productivity significantly to meet its aspiration of growing GDP by more than 4 percent per year. The report identifies several ways in which both companies and government can address key obstacles to accelerating productivity growth.
"In order to continue its development trajectory, Brazil needs to shift focus from the demand to the supply side, in particular enhancing productivity levels. That will require improving both hard and soft infrastructure and increasing levels of investment," said Masao Ukon, a BCG partner and coauthor of the report.
The next decade in Brazil will impose new challenges but will also offer high rewards. What worked in the past may not be a recipe for the future. However, companies able to meet these challenges -- particularly by boosting their productivity -- will be better positioned to serve the sizable domestic market, take advantage of Brazil's advantaged position in natural resources, and continue to create value.

There comes a moment in every relationship or marriage in which the woman is out of tampons and the man is on his way to the store. What happens next is anybody's guess, but in my opinion, it will (and should) make or break the relationship.
The only right response from a man in this case is: "Sure, honey. What brand and absorbency?" Anything resembling being grossed out, horrified, or humiliated is grounds for a breakup. For real. If he wants to be an adult male, in love with an adult woman, then sometimes he is going to have to buy feminine products for his lady. That's love.
This discussion is currently happening on CafeMom, and most of the women seem to agree with me. Their husbands buy tampons from time to time and it's really no big deal. But I have heard different things from women in the past.
Some women say their husbands are too embarrassed to buy them. I will say that very early on in our relationship, when my husband was young and immature, he made jokes about it. He did it, but he was clearly not into the idea. As he has matured, he has gotten used to it.
It's like anything else in marriage -- holding a woman's purse while she shops, having sex on her period, or getting her pickles at 3 a.m. when she is pregnant. You just accept these things if you are a grownup man married to a grownup woman.
Now granted, this isn't something I ask every time. Mostly I get them myself. But it has come up and he has done it. Because he is a good husband.
Besides, a man buying tampons CLEARLY knows his way around a lady's parts, right? I mean, I don't ask just anyone to buy feminine products. I ask my partner. In other words, a man buying tampons is obviously getting laid. He should be proud, not embarrassed.
In fact, most women would be impressed that a man is willing to do so, and if a man makes fun of him, well, it's obvious he is in the minority. Personally, if I were a dude, I might buy tampons just to pick up women (OK, I am joking. Mostly). But seriously? In what other aisle would you find so many women? And in what other aisle would you have the opportunity to prove what an enlightened man you are?
It says: "I am comfortable with my own sexuality. How YOU doing?" That's hot, man.
Does your husband ever buy feminine products for you?

Latest Version of Breakthrough Technology Will Also Be On Display At Virtual Event
MOSCOW, RUSSIA – iPi Soft, developers of advanced markerless motion capture software technology, will be on hand virtually at this week's 2012 Machinima Expo – the five year old event that takes place on the Machiniama Expo website via Livestream and in Second Life simultaneously -- spotlighting the best of what this growing animation art form, which uses video game technology to create 3D animated films in real time, has to offer.
iPi Soft's Founder and Chief Technology Architect Michael Nikinov will offer a presentation on Friday, November 16 at 11:30-12:00pm about iPi Motion Capture™ 2.0 – the latest version of the company's power markerless motion capture software -- that is fast becoming an essential tool in the machinima-making community.
iPi Soft is also an official sponsor of the event, and will offer three basic licenses and one standard license to the winners of the Expo's film festival, which features over 70 films competing for the Grand Jury prize and three Jury prizes. The awards will be presented on Sunday, November 18th.
"Motion capture is such an expressive medium for machinima makers," says Nikonov. "Our goal is to provide content creators with the ultimate solution for creating believable 3D character motion conveniently and affordably without the need for studio space, special lighting or backgrounds. Seeing the brilliant ways machinima filmmakers are incorporating motion capture into their art is truly inspiring, and we're proud to be a part of this ground-breaking event."
Machinima Expo is co-produced by Ricky Grove, who has been at the forefront of the machinima community as a voice actor and sound designer for over 10 years. He's also a writer for renderosity.com and recently reviewed iPi Motion Capture™ 2.0, calling it "an excellent application that will continue to get better."
"iPi Soft's motion capture software will change the way that machinima directors animate their films," Grove says. "Forget the clunky, robotic character animation you see in many machinima films. Now, iPi Soft will allow you to quickly animate a character realistically and do it in hours right in your living room. The Machinima Expo is proud to partner with iPi Soft to present this cost-effective and simple method of 'motion-capture for the masses.'"

The ideal way to save money is to exert effort once and automatically reap savings over and over again, every month. That's why examining your car insurance makes a lot of sense.
Auto insurance prices vary widely. On average, car insurance cost Americans $789 per vehicle annually in 2008, the most recent year of data provided by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners.
But your costs could be far higher or lower because of the state you live in. For example, Florida, New Jersey and New York were among states where the average was more than $1,000 annually. North Dakota's average expenditure was $503.
"In an age when people are cutting out cable television, it pays to look at car insurance," said Des Toups, managing editor of CarInsurance.com.
Here are ways to save on car insurance.
Compare. If you think all auto insurance rates within a state are about the same, you're wrong. Premiums can be very different for the exact same policies, depending on what factors an insurer chooses to emphasize in its rate formula.
"It's a calculated bet," Toups said. "The insurer asks, 'What's the least amount of risk we can take to make the most amount of money?' That's why the numbers are so different."
For the youngest drivers, comparison shopping could save about $1,100 a year, according to a study by CarInsurance.com. You might think you get better service from higher-priced insurers, but there seems to be no correlation, according to a study by the Consumer Federation of America.
"Many people stick with the same insurance carrier year after year without ever shopping for a better deal," Consumer Reports says in its guide to car insurance. "Blind loyalty to one insurer can cost you dearly."
You can request quotes by phone or online. For online quotes, you might want to set up a separate, free email account at Hotmail, Gmail or Yahoo to receive them so they don't litter your regular email inbox.
Check your state insurance department website for comparative information on insurers in your state. You can check on the financial health of an insurer at such rating agency websites as moodys.com and standardandpoors.com.
Bundling. Choosing an auto insurer is important, too, because you might want to get your home insurance through the same carrier. Auto rates vary more and probably are more expensive, so let that be the insurance that, well, drives your decision.
Like bundling your pay-TV, phone and Internet access with one company, you can get discounts for bundling your insurance with a single insurer, said Jim Fults, associate vice president of auto and personal insurance at Fireman's Fund Insurance. At Fireman's, he said, customers can save $400 to $600 a year by bundling auto and home insurance.
If you have multiple vehicles with the same company, your most expensive driver will be assigned, by default, to the most expensive car. So, if your teenager will drive the Honda far more than the Lexus, make sure the teen is listed as primary driver of the cheaper vehicle, Toups said.
Deductibles. A deductible is the part of the bill you pay out-of-pocket before insurance kicks in. The higher deductible you're willing to accept, the lower your premiums will be. Changing from a $200 deductible to $1,000 could save you 40 percent, says the Insurance Information Institute.
Fults suggests examining several different deductibles to see how they affect premiums.
"I think people would be really surprised, when they looked at changing a deductible of just $500 or $1,000, by what that does to the price (of premiums)," he said. "For some vehicles, it might move it considerably. In other cases, it might not."
Personal finance experts typically advise choosing the highest deductible you can financially stomach if it will give you big price breaks on premiums.
Big Brother devices. There are some new high-tech devices that insurers are starting to offer. For example, some devices will block the use of cellphones in a moving car, often used for teenage drivers, Fults said.
Insurers are also starting to introduce optional "telematic" devices, which, once installed on a vehicle, collect data about your driving habits for the insurance company. You get a discount for agreeing to use one, and your rates are based on your driving habits.
People who drive less and drive slower might have lower rates than people who drive a lot at high speeds, for example.
Such devices are available from several insurers and are allowed in most states. Insurance companies say the devices are used only for discounts, not for raising premiums, Toups said.
"From the insurer's point of view, these things are meant to reward and isolate those low-risk drivers," he said. "You're signing up for the prospect of a discount."
Credit. You wouldn't think your proficiency at paying bills would have anything to do with whether you'll crash your car, but auto insurers insist there's a link. Drivers with problems on their credit reports are more likely to file claims, they say, and are charged higher insurance rates in states that allow tying rates to credit.
"Credit has become, in the last 10 years, a very widely used and fairly significant part of the calculation of what your final price will be for auto insurance and home insurance," Fults said. "It was introduced in the 1990s and has slowly been incorporated into every carrier now."
Carriers aren't so much looking at your three-digit credit score as they're looking at the stability and good standing of your relationships with creditors, Fults said.
Still, there's a correlation with scores. A CarInsurance.com study showed that drivers with credit scores over 750 save an average of $783 a year compared with a drivers in the same age bracket with average scores.
Check your credit report once a year for free from each of the three major credit bureaus at AnnualCreditReport.com.
Discounts. Make sure you're getting all the discounts you're entitled to — for driving low miles every year, for example. A teen driver, who can raise rates 50 percent, can get a discount if he or she has good grades, typically at least a B average, Toups said.
Taking time annually to review your coverages with your insurer will make sure you're getting those discounts, Fults said. You'll not only incorporate your life changes into your auto insurance, but you'll learn about the insurer's new products and pricing, which change often.
Drop collision. It might be worth dropping collision coverage on older cars that aren't worth much. Consumer advocate Clark Howard said the time to consider dropping collision is when cars get to be about eight years old. His rule of thumb: If your annual, not monthly, premium for collision and comprehensive is more than 10 percent of your car's value, remove collision coverage and just pay the liability premium. Find your vehicle's private-party sale value at such websites as kbb.com, edmunds.com and nadaguides.com.
Did you know?
Similar to a credit report, you also have an insurance-claims report. It can affect whether an insurer agrees to issue a policy and what rates you pay. To see what insurers know about your claims history, get a C.L.U.E. It's your free, annual auto and personal property claims reports by the Comprehensive Loss Underwriting Exchange. Get it once a year online at personalreports.lexisnexis.com or call 866-312-8076.

Fewer than half of Americans have access to a workplace savings plan that can help them amass money for retirement. In his State of the Union address tonight, President Obama will propose to change that, according to the Associated Press.
Citing two anonymous sources who "have discussed the proposal with the administration," the AP's Jim Kuhnhenn reports today that Obama will seek to launch a plan that would allow workers whose employers don't offer retirement plans to invest money for retirement, tax deferred, in Treasury bonds; the employees could eventually convert those savings to traditional IRAs.
If Obama does advance the proposal, it'll be his fullest endorsement to date of an idea that has been kicking around for a few years. MarketWatch's Robert Powell wrote recently about the Treasury Department's efforts to develop "R-bonds" that could serve as retirement investments for savers who lacked 401(k)s and pensions. Some states, including Oregon and California, have also proposed setting up state-run IRA systems for workers whose employers don't provide plans.

The Best (and Easiest) Chocolate Cake I've Ever Had!
I baked you a cake. What's the special occasion?, you ask.
I received my 15,000th hit sometime last week (I started tracking around November 2008) and I wanted to so say THANK YOU to all of you who have loyally visited my site, signed up for updates and dropped the occasional comment. It's all of your support that has made one of my photos number one on Tastespotting, and amongst one of the most viewed photos ever! (And that's no easy feat...)
So from me to you, please accept my most heartfelt Thank You!
To celebrate, (and of course, I don't really need a special occasion to do so...) I thought I would bake us a cake. This is one of my most tried and true recipes that I have honed and tweaked over time and I want to share it with you.
For some reason, my semi-regular feature on desserts has resonated with many readers. Maybe because it's a universal dilemma - you've been invited over for dinner and your host asks you to bring dessert. "Sure, no problem." You say. Then your thoughts run to, "So, what do I bring for dessert?" You could run out to the bakery and buy a lovely cheesecake or something, or you could just make something...
Amongst the other things I have offered up as suggestions in the past, such as lemon bars, raspberry & pear crumble, and most recently, key lime squares, I think this is easiest recipe of them all. This is what I like to bring when I am invited over for dinner and I most definitely make this cake when I have guests over for dinner.
It's such a simple recipe, almost foolproof. The ingredients are simple and the taste is out of the world. The cake is moist and dense and just buckles under your fork. When you make this cake, use good quality dark chocolate. The result is a buttery, smooth, rich and flavourful chocolate cake. Use the good stuff, and your tastebuds will thank you.
I make this cake the day before I need it. It allows the flavours to meld and reduces "day of" stress if you are hosting a dinner party. Leave the cake in the tin, covered with cling film and stored in the fridge. About thirty minutes before you intend to serve it, remove and plate.
Flourless Chocolate Cake
200 grams dark chocolate - broken into small pieces
200 grams unsalted butter - cut into small pieces
1 c sugar
5 eggs
optional: 150 grams sour cherries (roughly chopped)
(I use jarred sour cherries macerated in a light syrup. But I think you can also use fresh ones too... But note the addition of fruit shortens the shelf-life of the cake.)
1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter an 8 inch round cake pan and cut a parchment paper to fit the round. Butter the parchment as well.
2. In a double-boiler*, slowly melt the chocolate & butter until smooth. Don't allow the water in the double boiled to touch the bottom of the bowl. Once melted, add sugar and stir well until smooth. Remove from heat and cool for about two minutes.
3. One by one, crack an egg into the batter. Stir until smooth and glossy before adding the next egg. The batter will become thick and viscous. If using, stir in the sour cherries.
4. Pour into the prepared cake pan and bake for about twenty minutes. At twenty minutes, if the cake seems really wet in the center, then set the timer for another two minutes and check again. The cake will slightly puff on the edges with a dense thick center. (I have made this cake maybe ten or twelve times, and the baking time is about twenty four minutes.)
5. Cool cake on a wire rack.
6. Once completely cool, refrigerate.
7. About twenty minutes before serving, flip the cake onto a plate upside down. Remove the parchment paper. And carefully, lay your serving plate on top of the cake. Then flip the cake over onto its right side and remove the original plate.
8. Slice into eight wedges and sprinkle with icing sugar and serve with vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cram.
*I don't have a double boiler. To melt the chocolate, I fill a medium sized pot 1/3 of the way with water, once it comes to a boil, I turn it down and place a medium sized metal bowl on top. Ensure that it is not tight-fitting so that the steam can escape. (But having said that, be careful. Hot steam can cause serious burns.)
I have made an extra cake without the cherries and wrapped it well in cling wrap, then again in a freezer bag and stored it in the freezer. It keeps for up to three months and to serve, defrost on your counter for about 45 minutes and slice into wedges. Although my husband thinks it tastes just fine unthawed

Yum! So, being in the U.S., would you suggest actually weighing out the ingredients? Why can't the U.S. just use the metric system like everyone else in the world!

@ Pearl
Thank you! You're a doll!
@ Amanda
Do tell me how it turns out. I love this recipe. I make it all the time.
@ Christina
I am not an expert baker - but apparently - measure by weight tends to be the preference of serious bakers. I find that I am absolutely accurate with a scale and the cake is perfect every time. I bought a cheapy $20 digital scale.
In Canada, we are officially metric - but we reserve the right to go back and forth on imperial and metric. I weight myself in pounds but when I go for a run, I meaure in kilometers.
BTW - 200 grams = 7.025 oz.

Your recipe will give a dense cake.
I separated the 5 eggs and beat the 5 egg whites to stiff peaks. Then I added 3 yolks to the chocolate. Before gently and slowly folding in the whites.
This will give a lighter cake.

@ Eve
Thanks for the variation. You're right, this is indeed a dense cake (but it's also incredible moist and buttery.) An eight-inch cake pan serves eight so the portion is a little smaller than normal.
@ Ginger
Please write back and let me know how it turns out!!

Thanks so much for this! I was looking at a similar recipe on Gourmt Traveller, but it had all sorts of bizarre ingredients and apparently served 20 (much too big for dinner with fou :0)
This however looks perfect - I'll let you know how I go! xo

Me again - just wanted to say a massive thanks! I cooked this cake for a dinner party I was invited to last week and it was PERFECT! Easy, and tasted amazing! It was a little sweet as I couldn't find any sour cherries, so I used black ones in syrup...otherwise just amazing!

@ Francesca
I am so glad you liked and it went smoothly for the party... yes- black cherries may have been a little sweet but you could always skip the cherries.
Gourmet Traveller is one of my favourite food websites!!

Individual Development Plan
An Individual Development Plan (IDP) is an organized approach to professional and personal development. IDPs have long been used as a tool to help employees develop their skills and achieve their goals.
How would I like to develop myself?
- What are my future career aspirations? (Up is not the only way!)
- What skill(s) would I like to develop?
- How can I broaden my experience?
- What learning/training would help prepare me for my future aspirations or to do my current job better?
- What interests me?
Like goal setting, the College is expecting us to think about our development and talk with our supervisor. Call us if you want to talk.
Goal Setting
The purpose of the goal-setting conversation is to decide what each employee and department's key accomplishments should be in the coming year. The goal-setting process, when done well, is one of the most effective tools a supervisor has in leading people and the organization to success.
Goal setting doesn't have to be complicated or feared or confusing! If you have any questions or need help in any part of the goal-setting process, please contact us.
Why Set Goals?
- Most effective method for changing behavior
- Gets better results than "Do your best!" goals
- Emphasizes employee development
- Is a communication vehicle between supervisor and employee
- Leads to more effective, positive performance reviews
- Reduces subjectivity
- Encourages performance improvements and strategies
Benefits of Goal Setting
- More promotion; more recognition; greater success
- Reduces stress and uncertainty
- Clears confusion about priorities
- Stimulates us
- Helps us identify needed resources

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Lipscomb Bisons cross country team made history and also set some records on the way to the first Atlantic Sun Conference Cross Country Championship in school history.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=du-74q2waOk
The Bisons won easily Saturday morning on the Vaughn's Gap course at sun-splashed Percy Warner Park.
Heading into the championship race the Bisons were voted No. 1 in the conference coaches' poll, a rating that Lipscomb coach Bill Taylor didn't embrace.
"Publicly I stated that the men's race was going to be close," said Bill Taylor, director of cross country and track and field. "I honestly thought we were going to be pretty good. I thought we could win pretty easily.
"There were a lot of goofy things in the poll this year. Seven coaches voted for ETSU first and we had three in the last poll. It was just silly that we were ranked first. I would have rather not been ranked first going in if I could have helped it. But we ignored all of that stuff."
The Bisons finished with 26 points. Northern Kentucky was a distant second with 82. It was the best winning score in the A-Sun Championships since 2006 and the second largest margin of victory in the conference championships. The Bisons are the first team in the A-Sun to finish first after finishing seventh the previous season.
"You never know how they are going to react, especially their first time chasing a conference title," Taylor said. "But we weren't surprised with what happened.
"Coach (Dan) Goetz and I gave them a plan. We felt like they were capable of doing it. It was a just a matter of will they do it. We were both convinced that we had the best team in the conference by a lot."
Juan Gonzalez, who won A-Sun Freshman of the Year, finished second in the 8-K with a time of 25:05.70. Northern Kentucky's J.J. Webber took first place with a time of 25:05.06. Gonzalez was leading when he slipped on a turn near the end of the course and it likely cost him the race.
Gonzalez' claimed the highest ever individual finish by a Lipscomb runner in the conference championships. It also marks the second year in a row that a Lipscomb runner has been named Freshman of the Year. Jared Wingerter won in 2012.
"I am thrilled with how Juan ran," Taylor said. "It was too bad that he slipped at the end. That doesn't mean that he would have won if he hadn't. But that is cross country. The first one to cross the line wins.
"I thought Juan ran an amazing race. It was a nice step forward for him. Win or not I think he is going to get a few wins in the future."
Gonzalez has been the leader in every race for the Bisons this fall. Taylor is impressed by his freshman's confidence.
"He is really smart," Taylor said. "He is doing this as a freshman running an 8-K for the first time. He is a great guy and a great person."
Lipscomb freshman Christian Freeman was third with a time of 25:12.65. Sophomore Daniel Gardner was fifth with a time of 25:25.62. John Kingstedt, another Lipscomb freshman, was seventh with a time of 25:30.08.
Gonzalez, Freeman and Kingstedt were named to both the A-Sun All–Freshman Team and the All-Conference First Team for finishing in the top seven. It is the second year in a row that the Bisons placed three runners on the All-Freshman Team.
Gardner also earned Atlantic Sun First Team All-Conference honors.
"Our future looks pretty good," Taylor said.
Tim Muller, a redshirt senior, was ninth for the Purple and Gold with a time of 25:42.61. Wingerter was 12th finishing in 25:51.26. Redshirt senior Geoff Musick's time of 25:54.85 was good enough for 13th.
All three were named to the A-Sun All-Conference Second Team. Musick is the second Lipscomb cross country runner to win All-Conference honors twice following in the footsteps of Ryan Chastain.
"Tim already had an injury redshirt," Taylor said. "I talked to Isaiah (Greer) and Geoff last year right before the season and told them we were going to host the conference championships next year and we are going to be a better team. I asked what they thought about redshirting. They bought into it and got a huge reward today.
"Tim has been injured a lot. Last March he sat down in my office and said he wasn't going to run any more. There wasn't even a debate. He said I am injured and I am tired. I talked to him and told him you don't get that back if you decide not to do it. He came back and he was our No. 5 finisher and all-conference."
Taylor was named A-Sun Men's Coach of the Year becoming the first coach in league history be named both the Men's and Women's Coach of the Year in the same season.
"I share that with Dan," Taylor said.
Rounding out the finishes for the Bisons were redshirt Greer (26:24.65) in 25th place and sophomore Fidel Leon in 34th (26:35.45).
Taylor thought that having the race on Lipscomb's home course was a major advantage.
"It was huge," Taylor said. "The guys should of, could of and would of won anywhere I think.
"We have the best crowd for cross country races in the conference. For our runners to know that coming in gives them an extra incentive, extra motivation and extra energy to pull it off."
The Bisons will compete Nov. 15 in the NCAA South Region in Tuscaloosa, Ala.

A month ago, I had published at American Thinker a long rumination about the fact that most of the Democratic candidates, whatever else they are, are not responsible adults. Of Obama, I said:
Barack Obama, of course, is a Senator squared. This is a man who has never taken on solo responsibility (although I'll agree that he had a charmingly eclectic childhood). After a short career as a junior associate at a law firm (a position singularly devoid of primary responsibility), he went on to become a lecturer (an important job, but not a particularly brave or patriarchal one), then an Illinois State Senator and for the past two and half years, he's been a United States Senator. This is a Peter Pan career, one in which Obama has managed to garner a lot of face time without ever actually assuming responsibility for anything or anybody.
Perhaps others are also starting to figure out that Obama has absolutely no experience, but is merely a man onto whom liberals project their wishes. Thus, John Dickerson, writing at Slate, has an article entitled "Obama's Achilles Heel," with the subtitle "What's he ever done?" As part of a longer article discussion about the relative strengths of Hillary and Obama, Dickerson has this to say about Obama:
What Obama can't grow on the campaign trail is a different life experience. And Hillary Clinton and her campaign are going to be relentless in raising the experience issue. To fix this problem the Obama team is insisting that Obama has a different kind of what they call "real" experience. They're running television commercials highlighting his years as a community organizer and state senator. "A lot of people think that Barack Obama was born at the DNC convention in 2004," says his communications director Robert Gibbs. (That's probably because the campaign uses the clip so often to promote him.) The ads start with chapter headings for each of the stages of his career and plenty of black-and-white photos to suggest he has had an epic life. On the stump and in debates, Obama is also stressing his past. When he spoke about his urban agenda, he pointed out that poverty was "the cause that led me to a life of public service almost 25 years ago."
By claiming a special judgment in foreign policy, Obama exposes himself to uncomfortable follow-ups. He made dramatic claims that Clinton's conditional views on negotiating with rogue nations meant her approach was merely "Bush-Cheney light," but Obama had expressed a nearly identical view just before the big spat. He says he wouldn't be afraid to tell leaders like Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad hard truths face to face. On what past experience will he draw for these high-wire negotiations? What high pressures has he endured to prepare him for the appealing, but risky, diplomacy he promises? Obama supporters are fond of comparing him to John F. Kennedy, but they have forgotten that Kennedy's first meeting with Khruschev didn't go so well and his first foreign-policy adventure, the Bay of Pigs, was a disaster because of the new president's inexperience and naiveté.
UPDATE: Pay attention to the last words in the quotation above: "his first foreign-policy adventure . . . was a disaster because of the new president's inexperience and naiveté." With those words fixed firmly in your mind, go over to this post at the Captain's Quarters, and read carefully as the Captain slices and dices Obama's most recent foreign policy proposal, this one about Pakistan. In one second, Obama has gone from being a stupid choice to being a dangerous choice for President.

Summer's over in Maine, but you'd hardly know it from the queue of vacationers and regulars at the Clam Shack. A teenager shouts out orders of clam strips, chowder, and fried shrimp. But it's the whole, handpicked lobster piled onto a buttered roll that earns this eatery a place among the seafood greats.
Today's culinary landscape is all about über-local ingredients and farm-to-table cooking. But before there were menus crediting farmers for their kale or acorn-fed pork, there were dockside establishments serving just-caught crab and lobster or oysters farmed a few miles up the shore. America's seafood restaurants were sourcing fish from their backyard long before it was popular.
These iconic, unfussy joints, for many of us, define seafood at its best. After all, what could be better than plump, juicy bivalves paired with a cold beer and views of bobbing boats? Or picking crabs on brown paper–covered communal tables, your hands a mess of clarified butter and Old Bay?
Related: U.S. + Canada Travel Guide
Our top picks include as many (if not more) down-and-dirty restaurants—where no-frills décor meets the freshest grouper, blackened, simply dressed with mayo and lettuce, and served on a toasted bun—as high-end ones helmed by toques who marry French techniques and worldly ingredients with pristine bluefin, cobia, and escolar.
You'll find America's best seafood at a shanty overlooking Florida's Sarasota Bay, and on Maui's northern shore in a kitschy, yet romantic South Seas setting where the catch changes so often that menus are printed twice daily, but also in Atlanta, where seafood meets southern society over oysters and putt-putt at the Optimist.
Whether high or low, one thing is consistent: Each of these local favorites, in big cities and small towns, is a catch.

About booking Latin Jazz Bands
Latin jazz music is perfect for a lively wedding reception or party, a restaurant, a dinner occasion, corporate event, concert venue or club. A Latin jazz band differs from the traditional jazz band by using less swing and more straight rhythm for their sound and using percussion instruments such as the conga, timbale, güiro and claves. There are three types of Latin Jazz: Brazilian Latin Jazz, Cuban Jazz and Puerto Rican Jazz. Latin jazz music is played in small combos or in full Latin Jazz bands.
Some things to consider when hiring a Latin Jazz Band are to make sure you listen to audio and watch video clips. This will ensure that you truly do book the best for your next event! Next, you want to get references. Talk to people in the area about the band and get feedback. Finally, get a contract. Many professional Latin Jazz Bands require a deposit to secure them at your next event. Make sure to read through the contract carefully before contracting the band for your party.

two weeks ago in Yosemite Valley, but one could see they would be changing soon.
I have no idea if this storm was "it", the final closing down of the high country. If this is another drought year, the snow could all be gone in a few days, and we could be driving over Tioga Pass in January like we did last year. Or, it could be the beginning of the buildup of a nice snowpack that could ease our drought worries here in California. All I know is that it was an indescribably beautiful day (despite my efforts to describe it anyway...).

It's sporty, it turns heads, and it's more than ready for you to take the wheel. Driving a Chevrolet Cruze RHD® is an experience unlike any you've had before. That's because Chevrolet Cruze RHD® has redefined everything a compact car should be with one simple word: more. Chevrolet knows that just because Cruze RHD® is a compact car doesn't mean you should expect less. That's why you get more of everything you need and deserve from styling and performance to efficiency and safety.
Chevrolet Cruze RHD® has a look that demands attention. This sporty coupe features fast-sloping rear pillars that connect to the steeply raked windshield and arching roofline. Chevrolet Cruze RHD® is centered by the strong, attention-grabbing Chevrolet grille and accented by prominent headlamp housings that wrap around the corners and sweep upward into the fenders and hood. And best of all, you can easily express your personal style with a variety of exterior color options.
Chevrolet Cruze RHD® leaves a lasting impression with its bold exterior design, but don't forget that those curves, lines and angles do more than just please the eye and turn heads. The sporty Chevrolet Cruze RHD® exterior improves aerodynamics, which in the end, optimizes fuel efficiency.
Get more efficiency out of every dollar you put in the gas tank. With Chevrolet Cruze RHD®, you have a powerful engine: 1.6L with 109 horsepower and 110 lb.-ft. This is a compact inline four-cylinder engine that combines competitive output with sophisticated technologies such as dual continuous variable cam phasing (DCVCP) in order to provide low maintenance, low emissions and outstanding fuel economy.
Chevrolet Cruze RHD® is the perfect combination of style and performance
Chevrolet Cruze RHD® offers you a choice between a five speed manual or a six speed automatic transmissions. The five-speed manual transmission is one of the transmissions used in GM for small to midsize cars. This manual transmission family features an axis transverse layout with fully synchronized gears and a compact packaging so you can expect more torque with smooth-running performance.
Chevrolet Cruze RHD® features a strong body structure and chassis system that enables engineers to more precisely tune the chassis for comfort and driving control. Additional features include a McPherson® strut front suspension and a rear frame suspension. This combination helps to deliver a more balanced driving experience, since the rear suspension better follows the lead of the front suspension.
Chevrolet Cruze RHD® features high quality interiors where no detail has been overlooked
Inside, the twin-cockpit motif is matched with high-quality materials and exceptional assembly tolerances. Soft-touch components and low-gloss trim panels exude a sporty look for a level of quality uncommon in the segment. The interior pillars and moldings are color- and grain-matched to the headliner, while the seat inserts are color-matched to the instrument panel accent trim, giving the interior the feel of a larger, more upscale sedan.
When it comes to interior convenience, Chevrolet Cruze RHD® is pleasing to the eye and still offers everything you could need right at your fingertips. The center stack houses the infotainment display and air conditioning and radio controls that blend harmoniously with the LED backlit instrument panel.
When you're driving Chevrolet Cruze RHD®, you're in control in more ways than one. Enjoy the ease of a remote lock control for fuel tank door, trunk open and for easy access to your vehicle. And when you're not around your Chevrolet Cruze RHD®, you can rest easy knowing it's protected by a theft-deterrent electrical system.
Enjoy the audio system and connect your devices via USB
Bring all your favorite infotainment with you on the go. Chevrolet Cruze RHD® makes it easy to access all your devices.
You can enjoy the surround sound of the available 6-speaker audio system and connect to a convenient USB port1. You can play your favorite CD or bring up all your MP3 music favorite music. Enjoy the comfort and convenience of the latest infotainment technology while you stay connected as you enjoy the ride.
Chevrolet Cruze RHD® features high-strength steel in key areas to enhance strength and crash protection by helping to prevent intrusion into the passenger compartment. Underbody main rails extend from the front of the structure all the way to the rear, further enhancing the body's strength and shape. In the event of a side-impact crash, a cross-structure beam behind the instrument panel supports the body of the vehicle.
If a collision should occur, Chevrolet Cruze RHD® protects you with 2 standard air bags for driver and front passenger.

New BlackBerry® 7 OS smartphones are getting ready to launch, and to assist our developer community in preparing for this, we are posting device information, simulators, and opening up the BlackBerry App World™ storefront for submissions!
Recently we introduced a new family of BlackBerry smartphones running the new BlackBerry 7 OS. To coincide, the BlackBerry 7 SDK went gold to support these new product launches. We've seen strong adoption of the new tools for BlackBerry 7 smartphones. We have also seen many existing applications ported over to these new BlackBerry 7 devices.
To enable developers to start testing and optimizing their BlackBerry applications for two upcoming smartphones, we are now releasing a beta of the new BlackBerry simulators, and encourage you to check out BlackBerry® Developer Zone for more information. In addition, we have opened up BlackBerry App World to enable vendors to start posting their applications for sale in time to be included for consideration in launch activities for both of these upcoming devices. To be fully prepared for launch, it is important for BlackBerry developers to note the following two key items and how you can get ready for launch:
1. Re-Posting Your Apps in BlackBerry App World for BlackBerry 7: BlackBerry App World vendors are encouraged to test their applications as soon as possible using the new BlackBerry 7 SDK, and then return to the BlackBerry App World vendor portal to post their applications for sale for the new BlackBerry smartphones.
2. Preparing Now for New Screen Sizes and Resolutions Supported by BlackBerry 7: BlackBerry 7 is designed to retain binary compatibility with our BlackBerry® 6 OS platform, and is also designed to support a variety of new screen resolutions and screen sizes that may require some developers to update and re-compile their existing applications. These new smartphones will also support new screen sizes and resolutions so we have posted new information on what screen characteristics will be supported by BlackBerry 7 along with these new smartphone simulators to emulate each of these different configurations.
New Screen Characteristics Supported by BlackBerry 7 and New Simulators for Testing
One new BlackBerry smartphone will feature a 360 x 480 all touch interface. Application developers will likely find that their BlackBerry® Torch™ 9800 smartphone builds will run on this new BlackBerry smartphone without change.
|BlackBerry Smartphone Model
|Display Screen size
|Aspect Ratio
|Pixels Per Inch
|Dot Pitch (mm)
|Portrait view: 480 x 360 pixels
Landscape view: 360 x 480 pixels
3.2 inches
|4:3 landscape view
The second upcoming BlackBerry smartphone will feature a 480 x 360 touch + keyboard interface. Application developers will either need to add touch support to their existing BlackBerry® Bold™ 9700 smartphone apps, or modify their BlackBerry Torch 9800 smartphone builds to account for landscape being in a vertical orientation.

|Pixels Per Inch
|Dot Pitch (mm)
|Portrait view: 480 x 360 pixels
Landscape view: 360 x 480 pixels

|4:3 landscape view
We have now posted the new BlackBerry 7 smartphone simulators to emulate each of these form factors and screen resolutions. The associated simulator model numbers for the two simulators are 9380 and 9790. With these new simulators, you can now start testing your BlackBerry 7 applications on these new smartphone form factors.
We thank you for your ongoing support and we trust that this new information will help you get your apps fully tested and posted to BlackBerry App World in time for the upcoming BlackBerry smartphone launches!

|Garden flowers....
|and pretty pansies!
In other exciting news of the day:
1) We had a very nice lunch at the Lion House Pantry Restaurant which was very enjoyable and toured the building which was finished in 1856 as a residence of Brigham Young. It had beautiful original windows and rock walls with some historic items displayed within such as quilts and glassware. The meal was great too.
2) Touring the temple grounds we ended up among at least four brides and their parties who were all taking pictures today as part of their wedding day festivities. We were slightly under dressed for the happy occasions but they did not seem to notice the Genealogy Girls anyway! You will notice one of the pretty brides in a photo here in the blog.
3) As we returned to the library for more arduous work, Ruby got a call that her granddaughter was going to take part in a bull riding contest for young ladies in North Platte so we waited for news of that venture as her granddaughter was excited to let Grandma know all about it. She had fun, stayed on for a short ride and did not end up in the ER... so the bull ride was successful and Grandma finally quit worrying.
4) Go Hubby called to tell me that my loving and gorgeous border collie who is staying home with her "sister" had been a BAD DOG while he was out of town working for two days. Our Babe ate part of the sofa and part of Hubby's chair. Guess she is tired of being alone for almost a week and there is one more week to go. BAD DOG!!! The price I pay for a trip to Salt Lake.
|Temple Gardens
|Brigham Young's Home ( Lion House Restaurant)
|A bride among the flowers!
6) We both managed to find some good information today to add to our growing pile of ancestor research papers that will add to many more weeks of work once we get home. The days are long but with short walks, we get re-invigorated and go back for more! Sunday will be a day of rest and hopefully sleeping in a bit, and then off to scout out the local cemeteries.
Enjoy a few pics from today's walk, hopefully we will have some great cemetery photos to share after tomorrow.

Balance Program back to top
People with balance, vestibular or dizziness problems can have difficulty with even the simplest tasks. Happily, help is available. Medical research has demonstrated balance problems are neither imaginary nor inevitable with age, and there are effective treatments available for those who experience them.
Our team of balance therapists – medical professionals and clinicians who are specially trained in the evaluation and treatment of balance disorders use state-of-the-art equipment and techniques to evaluate and treat people suffering from balance disorders.
Sarasota Memorial is Southwest Florida's only hospital to offer the Balance Master System® for the diagnosis and re-training of patients with balance problems. This interactive, computerized system provides objective measures of a patient's ability to balance and allows the rehab team to objectively assess a patient's ability to perform tasks ranging from essential daily living activities through high-level athletic skills. The measurements provided by the Balance Master system help in the design of effective treatment plans and/or training programs focused on the underlying cause of the patient's functional limitations.
Cardiac Rehabilitation back to top
Specifically designed for patients who have experienced a cardiac event and now need rehabilitation, this three-phased program returns patients back to the level of physical endurance and self-sufficiency they enjoyed prior to their illness. In Phase I, patients are assessed and educated about their abilities, limitations and risk factors. Phase II begins a customized monitored exercise program that is supervised by our clinical staff of nurses and exercise physiologists. In Phase III, patients progress to independent exercise with the goal of returning to their normal lifestyle. Medicare and most insurance plans cover the first two phases.
Driver's Assessment and Re-Education back to top
Designed to evaluate and improve driver safety, the Sarasota Memorial Driver's Assessment and Re-Education program is coordinated by occupational therapists certified in driver evaluation and rehabilitation.
The program includes:
- Assessment of vision, thinking, visual perceptual, physical skills and reaction time
- Behind-the-wheel exercises in a customized driving program car, beginning in a parking lot and then advancing into more complex traffic. Behind-the-wheel assessments are performed in your community where the area is familiar.
Results of your assessment are sent to your referring physician for follow-up and referrals for further services if needed.
Re-Education & Training
Our training and re-education program consists of in-vehicle education and practice in challenging situations, correction of unsafe habits and, if necessary, use of adaptive equipment to facilitate safer driving habits.
A physician referral requesting a driving assessment and listing a medical diagnosis is required for participation.
We are unable to evaluate and treat people who are obtaining their license for the first time or who must drive while seated in a wheelchair. Individuals must be able to get into and out of a vehicle independently to participate in the program. For information, please call (941) 917-2183.
Functional Capacity Evaluations back to top
A Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE) safely and objectively measures:
- Repetitive lifting capacity at various levels
- Repetitive push, pull, and carrying capacities
- Hand grip strength
- Tolerance for elevated work
- Prolonged trunk flexion in sitting and standing
- Prolonged trunk rotation in sitting and standing
- Prolonged crawl, knee and sustained crouch positions
- Repetitive squat
- Tolerance for prolonged sitting and standing
- Maximum walking, stairs and stepladder capacity
- Balance
- Hand coordination
Results and recommendations are discussed with the patient and the referring physician before a program of rehabilitation is designed.
For more information, please call (941) 917-1385.
Golf Performance Program back to top
You not only want to feel up to par, you want to shoot it as well. After all, the Suncoast has more golf courses per capita than anywhere else in the United States. So Sarasota Memorial's Golf Performance program is designed to help those devoted to the game, but whose performance has been challenged by their recovery, get back on course.
Licensed therapists with clinical expertise and a thorough knowledge of the game will do a comprehensive physical evaluation and develop a customized exercise program to build the strength and flexibility you need to improve the distance, accuracy and control of your swing. And possibly even correct your slice.
Tests performed during the evaluation include measurements of:
- Posture
- Balance
- Flexibility
- Strength
- Trunk, pelvis, shoulder stability
- Conditioning level
However, we cannot promise a lower handicap. For more information, please call (941) 917-7600.

Lymphedema Management Program back to top
Patients with Lymphedema experience swelling associated with lymphatic fluid. This swelling is managed using non-invasive procedures such as manual lymph drainage, compression bandaging, exercise and associated skin and nail care. Therapists certified in these specialized techniques educate and instruct patients in self-help techniques so they can manage primary or secondary lymphedema independently.
For more information, please call (941) 917-1385.
Neurological Rehabilitation back to top
An integral component of Sarasota Memorial's Neuroscience Center of Excellence, our Outpatient Neurological Rehab Program works with people recovering from neurological injury or illness. Therapy started in the hospital is continued on an outpatient basis. Our team of specialists meets regularly with patients and their families to discuss progress and goals. Treatment plans including physical, occupational, and speech therapy are customized to help people recover from or adapt to any physical or cognitive limitations and achieve their optimal level of independence.
Orthopedic Rehabilitation back to top
Rehabilitation from a sports injury or reconstructive surgery is different for every patient. Age, physical condition, and lifestyle factor into the patient's recovery program, as well as what area of the body is affected and to what degree. Sarasota Memorial's skilled staff of rehabilitation therapists includes physical therapists, occupational therapists, and exercise specialists who work with each patient to develop a plan of care designed to minimize pain and maximize mobility. Protocols may include specialized exercise equipment, pool therapy, customized fitness routines, orthotics or other devices, and pain management.
Pain Management back to top
Constant, nagging pain can destroy the quality of your life. But it doesn't have to. From traditional treatments and medications to breakthrough interventional procedures - all tailored to meet your specific needs – Sarasota Memorial's Pain Care Centers offer the widest range of coordinated pain care services available in Southwest Florida to help bring you pain relief.
Robomedica® Body Weight Support System back to top
Robomedica's Body weight support system is the most advanced tool available to assist patients with mobility – and Sarasota Memorial is the region's only hospital to offer this state-of-the-art computerized harness and treadmill system. This computerized harness and treadmill stimulates muscle movement for patients unable to walk or participate in weight-bearing exercise, it protects patients from falling while helping them safely progress in therapy. It is especially beneficial for those limited by stroke, neurological conditions, or joint replacements.
Sports Injuries back to top
Whether you're a serious athlete or just playing the occasional round of golf or tennis, you may sustain an injury that requires rehab. Sarasota Memorial's rehab therapists and exercise physiologists specialize in treating sports-related and orthopedic injuries. Their expertise and experience ensures a quick and safe return to the pleasures of your sport.
For more information, please call (941) 917-1385.
Stroke Rehabilitation back to top
Our Neurological/Stroke Rehabilitation Program is designed to help people affected by stroke or other neurological disorders, such as Parkinsons or Guillan-Barre, achieve higher levels of physical, cognitive, social and emotional independence and overcome or adapt to a lingering disability. The program combines physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech-language pathology, social services and neuro-psychology services under the direction of a physiatrist (physical medicine and rehabilitation physician). Education, disease management, diet, home set-up, social and emotional needs and home exercise programs are provided to patients and their families to help them manage their care and perform acts of daily living at home. Click here for more information about our Stroke Specialty Program.
Videostroboscopy back to top
Voice problems are often the result of a misfiring of the vocal cords caused by swelling, vocal abuse, muscle tension, tissue masses, or paralysis of one of the cords. Videostroboscopy is a state of the art technology used to record and observe the motion of the vocal cords. It allows the vocal cords to be examined speaking or singing.
A trained speech pathologist using either a rigid telescope placed into the mouth or a small flexible telescope placed into the nose performs the exam, making a "movie" of the vibrating vocal cords that can be replayed in either slow motion or stop action. From the resulting images, which show even the slightest abnormality, allow for a more accurate diagnosis.
Most people tolerate the procedure quite easily. A few require a slight numbing spray to make the scope more comfortable as it enters the nose or mouth. The numbing effect wears off in about one hour. Speaking is quite easy during the examination and you are able to see the recording while it is being made if you wish.
Work Injury Rehabilitation/Worker's Compensation back to top
Returning to work after a difficult illness or injury can be a challenge. Our occupational and physical therapists customize a program to make the transition as successful as possible.
Patients participating in our injury Rehab program will be evaluated for:
- Posture
- Flexibility
- Gait/Mobility
- Sensation
- Reflexes

text: I've seen pictures of deer with similar growths but never actually any in person. If I had to guess I would guess some sort of large tumor or possibly caused by an injury like being hit by a car. Are these the only pics of this deer that you have, any video clips? Just wonder if he's able to use that front leg or not? It's a shame to cuz he looks like he has a lot of potential.
