Yar'Adua's First 100 days and Beyond - Reuben Abati
In 100 days, it should be possible to know where a new government is going and gain an idea of its programmes and motivations. And so an assessment of the Yar'Adua government in 100 days should be useful. I begin by arguing that in the last 100 days we have seen at the centre, a government that has been struggling to settle down and define its focus. President Yar'Adua had come to power on the first day with a seven-point agenda and the promise to be a servant-leader.
He also promised to continue with the reform programmes of the previous administration that was led by the political party that brought him to power and his Godfather and benefactor, General Olusegun Obasanjo. In 100 days, the new government has been very busy trying to define what this means in an experimental, stream-of-consciousness fashion. Matters of governance have moved so slowly and tentatively that the President has earned for himself the moniker, Baba Go-Slow. There may be nothing wrong in being deliberate and calculating, but what has been advertised is a certain kind of slowness arising from lack of preparation which has since given birth to extreme caution.
Three major events have promoted this perception: the shoddy handling of the matter of legal powers between the office of the Attorney General and the EFCC/ICPC, with government reversing itself within 24 hours; then, the aborted flirtation with the idea of a national unity government. There is also the scandal of the Naira re-denomination policy which gave the impression of a divided government at the centre with the Presidency so out of control that it could be upstaged by the Central Bank Governor. But it is not only in the Presidency that there is so much fluidity. In the states, the various Governors are behaving as if they are in a swoon. In Imo state, the Governor has launched a state-wide environmental sanitation exercise to remind the people of the importance of hygiene; in Jigawa, the Governor is focussing on the handicapped and providing them social security, but in most other states, the Governors have been full of excuses or they are having to battle with serious crises arising from the circumstances of their election to office (this is the case in Edo, Rivers, Ekiti etc.).
Generally, there is a lull. Governors who are spending their second-term in office are also celebrating their first 100 days in office, but the people are too willing to forgive these ones for doing nothing. The assumption is that you do not need to do anything as a Governor if you are no longer seeking re-election. New Governors are excused on the grounds that they are also slow because of cases pending against them in election petition tribunals. But I do not see how this can justify inaction. The explanation is to be found in the lack of ideas about what to do, and the failure of our institutions. Even when politicians are busy with matters of political survival relating to their mandates, a state can run on the energy of its existing institutions. But here, the institutions are dependent on the whims and caprices of the man in power. If President Yar'Adua closes from work at 4 p.m everyday, the entire presidency also shuts down, whereas running Nigeria is a 24-hour/7/365 days business.
To be fair to the Yar'Adua government at the centre, it has done a good job of establishing an identity. It has managed to brand itself for public consideration. Although the President had campaigned on the platform of continuity, in 100 days, he has succeeded in showing that he is aware of the burdens of history sitting on his shoulders. He still talks about continuity but the greatest victim of his administration in the last 100 days has been the preceding government and former President Olusegun Obasanjo in particular. President Yar'Adua has already reversed some of the controversial decisions taken by that administration, with an instructive sub-text: rejection and distancing.
The first is the reversal of the increase in the pump prices of petroleum products and the sale of the Kaduna and Port Harcourt refineries, following an early protest by organised Labour. The second is the suspension of import duty waivers. The third and perhaps the loudest is the refusal of the new President to offer appointments to known cronies of the former President, those ones who claimed that they helped to put Yar'Adua in power! The fourth is the radical manner in which Yar'Adua's Ministers have been criticising, albeit indirectly the performance of the previous administration. The Minister of Health, Adenike Grange and the Minister of Transportation, Diezani Alison-Madukeke have both publicly condemned the state of affairs in the respective sectors under their watch.
Fifthly, Yar'Adua has since released the outstanding revenue allocation due to the local councils in Lagos state which President Obasanjo seized in defiance of a Supreme Court ruling. Sixthly, under Yar'Adua, there has been much emphasis on respect for the rule of law. He demonstrated this by refusing to interfere in the Anambra case in which the Supreme Court ruled that Peter Obi should be reinstated as Governor of that state. We can go on. Yar'Adua has also been praised for adopting a quiet, dignified style. He is also talking about electoral reforms and he has set up a committee to carry out the assignment.
He has split the NNPC into five and re-organised the leadership structure. He has stopped further arbitrary demolition of buildings in Abuja. He has been making some body movement on the Niger Delta question and the problems of the energy sector. There was some noise also about zero tolerance for corruption, and indeed some former Governors were arraigned by the EFCC but that has since died down. Obviously, Yar'adua may not offend sacred cows. One set that has found favour with him is the Council of traditional rulers whose members have suddenly become very influential. The Sultan of Sokoto is now constantly in the news!
Yar'Adua may have given enough indications in 100 days that he is not dumb at all and that he is his own man, but he is yet to provide any clues or answers to two questions: What are the ultimate goals of his government? What is the ideology propelling it? This is not yet clear. He will need more than reading and following the wind of public mood and opinion to govern Nigeria. He must engage the country at the level of ideas and immediate action. He does not need to be the President of everything. Three or four key issues are enough, let him choose out of a long list: Niger Delta, the railways and the roads, electricity and education and get the country moving.
In 100 days under a new government, Nigerians have been confronted with just how desperate their situation is. The word out there is that eight years of the peoples' life was wasted between 1999 and 2007. But the people should by now have also learnt some lessons. It must be clear to each and every one that the rains are still beating us and the roof of this falling house is leaking. All the issues that were papered over by the Obasanjo administration have returned to haunt us even more urgently. Look at Port Harcourt, the place is now a land of anomie; look at the political elite - as greedy and as mercurial as ever, look at the Constitution: we still have to tear it apart and create a new Constitution; look at the society: no jobs, no water, no electricity, a land of unhappy people! This is the broken down vehicle that has Yar'Adua has inherited. And we shall waste no time in holding him accountable.
About 100 days later, many Nigerians appear to be willing to give him a chance. The man is so different, every woman wants to protect him and every critic is studying him as a specimen. But he carries a baggage: the circumstances of his election and the unresolved conflicts over the April 2007 elections. Even if Nigerians are willing to forgive and forget, the international community as indicated in the recent damning report by the EU Observer Mission in Nigeria would not join what seems like a growing conspiracy of silence inside Nigeria. Whatever President Yar'Adua does, or even the state Governors, no one among them can sleep with both eyes closed until the election petitions have been resolved.
Let the occasion of their first 100 days in office be an occasion for sobriety and humility. Let no one spend N623 million on any jamboree and turn round later to say that only N238 million was spent. We expect this new set of leaders to act with some level of intelligence. We may not have had a hand in their election, but it hurts to see another tainted team donning the national jersey.

To that prayer I respond AMEN!!!!!!!!!!
Well said. Although, I'm not too sure about asking the president to stick to 3/4 issues. I think he needs to go all out. He needs to be the President of everything. Yes, focus more on some issues than others (its called prioritizing) but don't completely neglect a certain major issue. All the problems the President has opted to tackle are important and form the critical path to the country's way forward.
On another note, in a country where the government isn't the only source of the problems how does one judge a President's performance in 100 days? Making huge strides in a country where people exalt ex-governors that have been convicted of looting their state treasuries is not a task for the light hearted. see link (http://www.vanguardngr.com/articles/2002/editorial/ed06092007.html)
I think the president has started off well, every great accomplishment takes time. Nigerians (at least the ones outside Rivers State) seem patient enough. Lets give the President more time, see what he can do with that patience.

Hmmm. Well, Reuben always hits the right points, so I cannot add anything. But, I continue to be disappointed by the cat fights, the lack of vision and many other problems plaguing the Nigerian psyche.
As for me, I will wait and see. Good luck to Nigeria.

Reuben Abati is my favourite Nigerian columnist and he is spot on here. 100 days in office is a long time, but i don't think it's something to be celebrated or marked officially. it's a distraction.
the jury is still out on the direction of the Yar'adua government. all these policy reversals are not helping matters. we'll have something to celebrate when the government can articulate it's overall bent both in words and actions.
make we dey look.

Unfortunately for presidents, they are judged by the performance of their administration or regime. The events concerning Scooter Libby and Alberto Gonzalez and all the other 'cronies' of George W. are seen as reflections on his overall administration; basically, i think it perfectly ok to use the performance of the administration as a whole to measure the performance of the president.
I believe the establishment of definite goals and directions (which i guess he did in his inaugural speech) will better give the administration a sense of direction. As such, Yar'adua might be better off picking a few things that he goes all out with, things that can be written down as footprints of his reign; otherwise his story might just get lost when we look back. The reason a president has a cabinet and other elected/appointed officials is so that he doesn't have to go after every issue that pops up.
In my optimistic opinion, these last 100 days could have been a lot worse

We all have ups and downs in life.
Moments of doubt where we thing we will never be able to change the situation we are in. Times when we feel like giving up. Sometimes we feel like we are onto something big but others don't get it and can drag you down. When it feels like there is no way to turn and everything is a problem
Just one thing after another.
If this is you, you're not alone.
We ALL have moments like this. No matter what the perception is to the outside world, the most successful people you know have this. The most successful people in the public eye have this.
OK, occasionally you meet some very delusional people who think they are God's gift seemingly never think they are anything but awesome but believe me, they have times when they think this way too.
There are many moments when I feel like I just don't know the answers. When I feel like giving up and… well I don't know what. Maybe just running away from it all. That treadmill of life that when you are very young or perhaps when things are great, these kind of feelings seem a million miles away or are just problems other people have.
But never give up.
Find what you want, find what you believe in and do it. Just damn well go for it.
There are doubters, haters, negatives… you know what I'm talking about.
But if you know it's right, you just gotta do it and drive forwards.
That's what I do.
I make so many mistakes it drives me crazy.
I sometimes doubt my own judgement. But I never let that moment last as I believe in the same way I always have that what I'm striving for in my life, I will achieve.
Even if others don't believe that, I always do and I never let them effect me.
Just believe and go for it! Things will get better. Times will change.

In the early 1900's there was no hospital in Wamego. Doctors simply made house calls. In 1915, a hospital opened in Dr. Simonton's newly remodeled home on West 6th Street. While it was much needed, it was intended to be temporary. In 1919, a solution was proposed by JT Genn. Genn promised to donate $10,000 towards the construction of a new hospital provided the community could match his donation. The community succeeded in raising more than $11,000 resulting in the Genn Hospital being built in 1921.
In the early 1960's, plans were in the works for a larger, more modern hospital for the community of Wamego. The Genn hospital was still in operation, but did not pass many of the new building and fire codes. In addition, an average of 10.6 patients visited the hospital every day and that number was expected to keep rising. In May 1969, the new Wamego City Hospital was dedicated and opened for service to the community. The new facility cost an estimated $500,000 with half of it coming from the Genn-Clary Endowment Fund. The new facility boasted twenty-six beds, four bassinets and approximately sixty employees.
In June 1998, the City of Wamego opted not to renew its management agreement contract with Stormont-Vail. Instead, Wamego City Hospital became an independent hospital. It was hoped that Cotton O'neil (a division of Stormont Vail) would work in conjunction with the hospital by building their clinic on the hospital's grounds. However, Cotton O'neil decided to build a new office along Highway 24. The hospital faced it's first competitive environment and feared for it's financial future. Despite the challenges and concerns, Wamego City Hospital improved it's bottom line, making up a $98,500 deficit after the first six months as an independent hospital. It became clear that Wamego City Hospital secured it future as a leader in healthcare services in the area.
As Wamego City Hospital continued to grow, it also expanded its reputation. From 2010 to present day, the health center has received awards from the top names in the health services industry. In fact, it has been named one of the top hospitals to work at for three consecutive years. Today, services have expanded to include radiology, laboratory, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, cardiac rehabilitation, senior behavior health, women's health, surgery and daily specialty physicians. To reflect all of these new services, the name was changed from Wamego City Hospital to Wamego Health Center.
In keeping with its history, Wamego Health Center continues to thrive, with plans to break ground on an 11,000 square foot site expansion in early 2016. The expansion will include improvements and renovation necessary to accommodate the region's population growth and increasing healthcare needs. Departments affected by the renovation include Laboratory Services, Emergency Services, Surgical Services, Wamego Family Clinic and Heartland Rehabilitation. the Health Center's main entrance will also undergo expansion and renovation. All of the changes will help support Wamego Health Center's mission to provide excellence in patient care for year's to come.

Come on UMG!!! Work some magic!!!!
Doesn't Carrie always made it to the second round in all the categories? The final round is always the problem.
Ie- sorry but there is no way in hell that Jason Aldean deserved EOTY at ACMS. For what? He does not do it for me musically whatsoever, much less as an entertainer. At least Garth Vader could justify his CMA win with his Massive tour, despite doing nothing else in the eligibility year. Carrie still deserved it over him as she was the total package last year- not just a massive tour but 4 number 1s and a platinum album, among other things.
^ I will go ask. I assumed Miranda got in for everything, tin Man, etc. But I hope Chris Stapleton got nominated for Halo. That song is so beautiful.
They just do whatever they want year in and year out, and for whatever reason none of the other agency's have the same pull and power as WME, and if that never changes then nothing will ever change.
^ yes agree. They have no morality or concern for who they are hurting or who deserves the award most. They wanted King Garth to win, so he won. They didn't care who else deserved it.
The Jason win is so much more confusing though. At least you can understand the Garth win on a certain level: The Old Boys Club have their King back and they wanted to give him the crown again. But Jason? What the hell. I just don't get it.
I suppose there is a possibility of a song/record of the year for DL (I think it is a great song for this kind of recognition, though I just admit I don't know if its eligible.) I would not be interested in seeing TF (though again I will admit I won't fight it either, wink)
But I will admit there are a few songs that I will be more than a little bit annoyed if I see nominated as Song/Record of the Year and yes "Tin Man" will be at the top of that list. Average songwrite/average production/average vocal performance/poor audience success...... But just watch it snag a nom... yes I will be annoyed.
If Miranda Lambert, Jack Ingram and Jon Randall are to be thought of as only "average" at songwriting, I despair of ever converting you into a Country Music fan (smile).
On the production, I can see what may be the problem for anyone who's either very Pop-leaning, or very Traditional-leaning. Frank Liddell and Glenn Worf are longstanding Miranda regulars, and know how to give her variety and individualism a good setting - the new element on this project is Eric Masse, who definitely lines up with the Alternative wing. Although Carrie also went "East Nashville" for "Storyteller", I've noticed that some fans on this board do seem to have the most reservation about some of Jay Joyce's more innovative production (which has general similarities to Eric Masse's "Progressive Roots" approach to music), and seem more at ease with some of the other songs on Storyteller. By similar reasoning, some of the conventional industry may (and, in fact, seem to), find the off-format production of much of "The Weight of These Wings" a step too far, and think of Miranda as snubbing them.
However that may be, it's calling Miranda's vocal performance "average" that really has me shaking my head! For me, that is a vocal performance to die for - a heart rending vulnerability and fatalism, that tears at the emotions.
"Poor audience response" may be largely an illusion - probably coloured by the primary importance that traditional listeners in Mainstream Country still attach to radio. The Triggerman (Kyle Coroneos) had a recent article on this on his blog. He points out that radio (that has certainly largely rejected this album project) is heavily manipulated by the industry, who push through a succession of chart topping hits, giving "Boggins turn" to , mainly, one after another male, Pop-influenced singers. The impression - which radio loves us to believe - that this is what the public want - Kyle argues, is shakily founded. He points out that the broader Hot Country Songs chart is much more consumer driven, and generally harder for the industry to manipulate. Although it sometimes gives similar results (e.g for Sam Hunt, and Florida Georgia Line), it also throws up striking differences in other cases (where an artist - often, in Kyle's examples, a female artist - does substantially better in streaming and sales than she does on radio airplay. For Miranda, this was most noticeable with "Vice", which reached number two on Hot Country Songs, and has already been certified individually as platinum. It's also apparent, to a lesser, but still significant degree , in the progress so far of "Tin Man".
How this ties in with the nominations is harder to judge - which is why I'm counting no chickens. If the industry is not only not behind, but even strongly averse to, this album project, they may try to swing the CMA vote against it (In which case, we may end up with some good new boy crooning something else with a title vaguely like "Back road as overgrown and shady as a politician's body", or whatever). But that may not happen, or may not succeed - I'd love to see the project, and material from it, get some well deserved love from the voters.
I would love to hear how Carrie would take on "Tin Man". It's just a fantastic song all around.
I think Faraway has made some valid and excellent points.
I've always been happy for Miranda winning awards because her unique artistry, especially when compared to the music being produced over the last few years, is one that will stand the test of time and transcends beyond what one might consider as seasonal songs.
"The Weight of These Wings", personally for me, has been one of the most thought-provoking albums I have listened to in recent years and the very fact that me (and many other listeners that I've read posts by) keep going back to it to discover new meanings and new layers to the songs, the album and Miranda herself (as a person and as an artist) says so much about the poignancy of the record. Tin Man is just one of the exceptional songs on the album and I believe is an extremely new take on heartbreak, one that at least I haven't heard before; it's not just heartbreak but also introspection and dealing with a larger question of emotions and love rather than merely "I broke up and I need some relief". Her vocals, especially the "ooh" of the chorus, is like a lament and has a haunting effect, and it's almost like a bird expressing grief (it does sound like that to me, perhaps because of having the imagery of the wings and birds in my head).
Perhaps my analysis of the album and song wasn't all that significant but my read point being that this album and its songs are not only brilliant right now but are one of the most brilliant in recent times. I think it also deserves recognition in all-genre categories at the upcoming Grammys. Let's be thankful she didn't release other singles from the record, otherwise she would have scored double nominations in most categories! (We Should Be Friends was a single but don't think it's as good as something like Tin Man, Well-Rested and To Learn Her.)
I would love it if Carrie would do some more introspective songs. I've always been attracted to those type of songs.
My favourite song on Storyteller is "Like I'll Never Love You Again", and "The Girl You Think I Am" is also in my top three or four. Both of those are pretty different for Carrie, and are more driven by feelings and (especially in the latter case) by reflective introspection. But Carrie seldom seems to perform them (and Kizmet pointed out earlier that some of Carrie's own remarks suggest she really feels more at home with songs that are both more forceful performance numbers, and also ones that are relatively more detached, in terms of role playing).
I hope, nevertheless, she does continue to experiment with songs of that type - at least as album tracks. (In the case of singles, I think "Smoke Break" - my second favourite - was stylistically a good compromise. It showed, in my view, a stronger empathy with the subject, and addressed a range of quite heartfelt feelings - but also allowed Carrie to keep elements of her more forceful singing style, and also adopt a more "third person" characterization approach)
I have to kind of chuckle myself, but if there is any song on Miranda's CD that I would say is the best, is Tin Man...... Those are the type of songs I feel Miranda is at her best with...... I don't understand why it did not do well on Radio, I was expecting it to do better.......
Smoke Break was one of the songs on the top of my list from the CD as well.. And I still feel to this day that Carrie should include more traditional style songs, because if anyone can sing the daylights out of and pick a great song to do it with, would be her........ Plus the recognition from those so called traditional critics would come around for her as well...... Again a pet peeve of mine since Country music is not all about that sound anymore which they still give the most recognition too....

96kHz/24-bit FLAC, ECM 2432-471-4273 (supplied by www.highresaudio.com)
Now here's a download to divide the jazz purists. On this album Sheppard's Trio Libero set-up of bassist Michel Benita and Sebastian Rochford is joined by Elvind Aarest on 'guitar and electronics', suffusing much of the music here with underlying drones and washes of sound, in a kind of 'jazz meets ambient' mixture. It's a tribute to both the (typically ECM) quality of the recording and the ability of all the musicians that this doesn't just become a mush of sound, although those more used to hearing their traditional jazz combos crisp and clean may find the amalgam somewhat less than satisfying. That's especially so on a track like 'Aoidh, Na Dean Cadal Idir', where the electronic layers often threaten to rise up and overwhelm the acoustic instruments, but to these ears the combination is both intriguing and highly effective. AE
Sound Quality: 85%
Hi-Fi News Lab Report
Excellent use of dynamic range here while the percussion and (soprano) sax carry out across the ~45kHz bandwidth. Some ultrasonics may be distortion, of course, while there's also evidence of low-level spuriae [green trace]. PM

text: Fall and winter are the two seasons, in which we can fulfill our desires for opulence. Cashmere throws, monstrous fur coats, weighty embroideries- these, as some would say, "trivial" pleasures become necessary amid the bitter chill. That's why this season we are embracing the lusciousness of velvet in a myriad of gem tones. Velvet may be the fabric of queens and kings, but Fall 2016 saw it draped, tailored, and sculpted into the most enticing silhouettes. Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia- the Oscar de la Renta alums taking the fashion world by storm with their startup label Monse- deconstructed the fabric in sophisticated, yet entirely contemporary dresses and gowns. Go for baroque in rich hues like violet or dark green offset with sleek heels and shapely bags. For those inclined to office settings, a matching velvet suit will be the power duo of your cold weather wardrobe. Don't be afraid to work it into overtime, sporting it about town for after-hour drinks. Velvet is nothing new; in fact, its got quite a significant past. However, designer's breathed life back into this uber-touchable fabric, and sometimes bringing back an old favorite is what really gets us excited for the start of a new season.

Joel Smilow, a former chairman and chief executive of Playtex, is a philanthropist whose name is attached to hospitals, Boys and Girls Clubs, and buildings at Yale, his alma mater.
But for Smilow, whose college athletics career did not progress beyond intramurals, perhaps the most unusual outcome of his benevolence is a permanent link to the Bulldogs football team. In 1988, he gave $1 million to endow Yale's coaching position. Future coaches would forever be the Joel E. Smilow '54 Head Coach of Yale Football. The title does not exactly flow, but the money from the endowment does.
"The athletic director has jokingly referred to me as the owner of the Yale football team," Smilow said.
Seven of the Ivy League's eight football coaching jobs are endowed, along with numerous positions in other sports. The premise is that these coaches are also teachers, part of the academic fabric of their institutions.
The only Ivy League football team that does not have an endowed position is Brown. That job had been named after one of the university's most famous alumni, Joe Paterno, but the honor was removed in July.Continue reading the main story
Endowments in athletics are similar to those in academics. The donation is invested, and a portion of the return is distributed each year.
The glaring difference between some endowed professorships and coaching chairs is that coaches never receive tenure.
"In terms of athletics, unfortunately, we just don't work that way," Columbia Athletic Director Dianne Murphy said. "You've got to win. It's just a different animal."
Coaching endowments are prevalent in Bowl Championship Series conferences, too. The football programs at Stanford, Vanderbilt, Boston College and Northwestern, for example, have endowed positions. Michigan State, Rutgers, Duke and Texas Tech are among those seeking donors for theirs — with required donations as high as $5 million.
"Given the current fiscal climate, especially places where people are really passionate about football, it doesn't shock me at all that a Michigan State or Michigan would try to do this," Dartmouth Athletic Director Harry Sheehy said. "They have such passionate fan and alumni bases that it just makes sense."
In major conferences, access to luxury suites and trips to bowl games could lure potential contributors. But those perks are not a prevalent option in the Ivy League, where the football culture is more subdued.
Smilow has received three Ivy League championship rings through Yale, and earlier this month he was scheduled to greet the team for the start of fall practice.
"It's the same way people in the art world, if they give money or a valuable painting to a museum, they then get on a personal basis with the curator," Smilow said. "It's another path to that world that they are interested in mixing with."
Athletic directors said most major donors realized their gifts did not buy them decision-making power. But there has been some dissension.
In 2011, Robert G. Burton asked Connecticut to refund his $3 million donation to the football program after it neglected to consult with him before hiring Paul Pasqualoni as the Huskies' coach. Burton later retracted his request.
Connecticut's football position is not endowed, but the case illustrates the potential for conflict when a donor's name and money are permanently attached.
"Most of our donors understand, and we're pretty upfront about this, that personnel decisions will be left to the administrations," said Joe Karlgaard, Stanford's senior associate athletic director for development. "We involve them, but to say we consult with them is too strong."
Roger Weiss, whose $750,000 gift endowed the Roger J. Weiss '61 Head Coach of Football chair at Cornell in 1982, said he had recommended candidates for the Big Red's football openings.
"I've submitted names that they didn't hire, too," he added. "It's not 'This came from Roger Weiss, so we have to hire him.' And they don't contact me and say, 'Roger, who do you want to be the next coach at Cornell?' "
Thomas Stephenson was a two-year letter-winner on Harvard's football team before graduating in 1964. He created a $2 million endowment for the Thomas Stephenson Family Head Coach for Harvard Football in 1994. Stephenson said he did not meddle in the team's operations, just as he would not tell an endowed professor how to fashion a curriculum. He speaks to Crimson Coach Tim Murphy several times a year, he said, and they sometimes golf or eat together.
"It's two friends talking about a subject they love and enjoy," Stephenson said. "It's not Tim reporting to me because I happened to be the endower of the chair."
In the spring, an anonymous donor endowed Stanford's offensive coordinator position and called it the Andrew Luck Directorship of Offense, named after the quarterback who was drafted No. 1 over all by the Indianapolis Colts in April.
The gift received national attention, ostensibly because it was named after such a recognizable figure. Karlgaard said that six weeks after the position was named, a donor endowed one of Stanford's assistant men's basketball coaching positions in honor of a former board of trustees chair, and that it was mostly unnoticed outside Stanford.
Other donors have also used their endowed coaching positions as a way to honor someone else. Henry M. Paulson Jr., a former Treasury secretary and Goldman Sachs chairman, was an offensive lineman at Dartmouth from 1965 to 1967. In 2000, Paulson's $2 million gift established the Robert L. Blackman Endowed Coaching Position, honoring his former coach.
"It was only after I looked back after having spent time in the financial world and the business world that I realized how much I had learned, and so many others had learned from him, in terms of life lessons," Paulson said.
Paulson said that he had not attended a Dartmouth football game since graduating and that he did not follow the team during the season. He said he did not expect to be consulted during coaching searches, either.
"If they needed to rely on me to find that person, they're in big trouble because I haven't played football in 40 years," Paulson said. "I'm just not one of those guys that hangs around locker rooms and wants to give money to the football program, help pick coaches, go back to games and have good seats."Continue reading the main story

Quick Fennel Pickles
Making pickles at home can be a real headache. We sought an easier way.
Why This Recipe Works
Making your own quick pickles is fun and easy and can take as little as a few hours from start to finish. Most quick pickles begin with a brine of vinegar, salt, sugar, and seasonings. Starting with seasoned rice vinegar eliminated the guesswork, since it is already seasoned with a balanced amount of each. We bring the brine, flavored with orange zest and fennel seeds, to a simmer, pour it over sliced fresh fennel bulb in a Mason jar, and then let the mixture cool completely. After a 3-hour refrigeration (or longer if possible), the pickles are ready to devour.

"Excuse me ma'am, we're going to have to see inside your carry-on."
"What? Why?"
"Well, there appears to be something in a container we cannot identify."
"I understand, but do we have to do that here… in the open? "
"I'm sorry. I'll be as discreet as possible, but I need to look in your bag. Can you step over here with me please?"
"Michael, take your sister to the gate, I'll be right there."
"It is their father, we are taking him home."
"I'm sorry for your loss ma'am." The agent said softly as he gently closed the box.

Northumbria University KPT
KTP partner companies typically report an increase in profits before tax of over £240,000 and generate at least two new posts plus new skills for existing staff.
Knowledge Transfer Partnerships at Northumbria University from Northumbria University on Vimeo.
Partnership rated as outstanding
Renown Engineering has completed two highly successful KTP projects with us to implement a business and marketing strategy and introduce a New Product Development capability. A third KTP focussed on Renown's business in the Oil and Gas sector is under way.
Northumbria graduates Ben Moore and Jack McCusker helped Renown re-invent itself as a high-tech, value-added company with its own products and brands, prepared to fully exploit future opportunities.
Both the completed KTPs have now been rated as 'outstanding' by Innovate UK, an accolade achieved by less than 15% of KTPs nationally. And both KTP Associates are now employed in management roles, a testament to the effectiveness of the scheme.
KTP or Knowledge Transfer Partnerships is Europe's leading programme helping businesses to improve their competitiveness by enabling companies to work with higher education or research and technology organisations to obtain knowledge, technology or skills which they consider to be of strategic competitive importance. The UK-wide programme is overseen by Innovate UK, the UK's innovation agency, and supported by 16 other public sector funding organisations.

one person's treasure
It was in a sewing box. It was only a small bit of paper, a scrap, folded once and tucked into the elasticised pocket in the lid. But it's been years since she died and no one's found the note, taken the flour, sugar, butter and eggs from the cupboard, the fridge, tasted her sweetness, and wondered what type of person she was. This person with the backward s and the five-petal flowers in the corner, who underlined cinnamon and added after it an exclamation mark. This person who called her cookies buttons, and perhaps didn't know the difference between the two. Or maybe someone has found the note, and they've left it there for a reason. Maybe they've filled the box with needles and bobbins and strips of ribbon and perhaps even put in the pocket the tiny, odd bits of whatever might get lost amongst everything else in the main compartment. But they've left her note just as it was because it was folded so neatly, placed just so, and because where else do buttons belong but in a sewing box?

| Dungarees | Khaki Dress | Ankle Boots | Grey Jumper | Black Tassel Bag | Sleeveless Grey Jacket | Crepe Khaki Sleeveless Jacket |
When I was in New Look on the weekend I found myself loving all the new season items. We're in that weird period where it's summer but all the shops are starting to get their A/W stock in ready. Even though I love the long evenings and the warm(ish) weather I absolutely LOVE Autumn! It is by far my favourite season and even though I'm not quite ready to wish the summer away, I did get a little bit over excited at the scarves and jumpers. I managed to reign myself in though and just take a mental note of the items I was fancying as I hate buying clothes before the weather has arrived, because I just have to look at them and I don't get to wear them.
Are you ready for Autumn already?

- Key new cell sites throughout the state, including those that improved coverage in North Las Vegas; along major transportation corridors including Interstate 15, Highway 95 and Highway 215; and at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
- Network enhancements to out-pace growth in the number voice and data calls happening at the same time.
- A September 2006 survey found that the average Verizon Wireless customer from Las Vegas makes and receives more calls than customers from most major U.S. cities. Las Vegas customers ranked fifth on the Verizon Wireless study.
Most reliable network in the nation
- Multiple deployments throughout the year of mobile cell sites to provide wireless communications service for major conventions in Las Vegas.
- Additional equipment to provide backup power in the event of a commercial power failure.
New wireless technologies
- Customers in greater Reno can now access high-speed wireless Internet, e-mail, mobile music and more. The high speed data network that enables both BroadbandAccess and V CAST services was previously available in greater Las Vegas and launched in Reno in December.
- Customers also have access to innovative new services based on Global Positioning System (GPS) data. ChaperoneSM gives parents new tools to help identify the whereabouts of phones they've given to their young children. VZ NavigatorSM provides wireless turn-by-turn driving directions, maps and addresses. And Field Force Manager allows businesses to map the location of field employees and jobs in near real-time.
The company has invested $35 billion in the last seven years $5 billion on average every year since the company was formed to increase the coverage and capacity of its national network and to add new services. Network investment for 2007 is already underway.

A year ago I had just found out I was going to serve in Panama, and I
thought it was the best Christmas gift I had ever been given. Now, here I
am, living and loving Panama, and I am certain that this is the new best
More than anything, this year I am grateful for my gifts of the Holy Ghost,
repentance, the Atonement, and courage to overcome. What wonderful, eternal
gifts that our Father in Heaven gives us on a daily basis! We don't need
Christmas to remember Christ. We only need humble hearts and willing minds
to remember Him in all we do and say.
Last week we had a mission Christmas party, and it was fun seeing mission
friends. Then I had immigrations on Thursday because turns out my visa was
denied, so i'm just here on tourist terms. Cool, huh? We had successful
divisions with the Hermanas from Las Tablas on Friday and Saturday, and I
learned a lot from serving those sisters. I got to know a relatively new
sister from Arkansas, Hermana Scott, who is just ten kinds of amazing. She
reminds me so much of myself when I started the mission.
Well, Merry Christmas, y'all. Enjoy these special days, and soak up the
Spirit of Christmas. Forgive the people you need to, forgive yourself, live
and learn from Christ, and UNDERSTAND the miracle of forgiveness and
I love you all!

HAPPY NEW YEAR - Dec 30, 2013
Christmas was perfectly panamanian! I was able to speak with my family, and
that was exactly what I needed. It was a wonderful week of singing, talking
to all the families outside of their houses, and sharing special moments
with members of the church. We had divisions in Penonome with the sisters
serving there. I was able to meet really special investigators and
less-actives that they are currently working with. One brother said, "You
two sisters must have months together!" Hermana Arana and I laughed and
said, "No we only have about 4 hours!" He replied, "Thank you for following
the prompting to come visit me. You have brought the Spirit to my home in a
way that I haven't felt in years." It's neat how the Lord places us exactly
where we need to be!
We found a wonderful family who, in the first visit, asked us for the Book
of Mormon so they can read it. All of the less actives we visited this past
week came to church! Gaete and I taught the gospel principles class
yesterday about repentance, and it was a heart-changing experience for me.
It amazes me that there are saints who WANT to actively participate in the
work of salvation. Please, do not miss your privilege! Find your role, take
your place, and fight for the eternal cause of happiness and JOY!
I am excited about this new year. There is so much we will witness and
experience in 2014, and I'm sure we will all learn and grow in ways we have
never expected. Life is beautiful!!
I hope you all have a safe holiday season, and that you kindle a new
dedication to follow our Savior.He lives! He loves us! His Church has been
restored in an incredible way! Seek Him. It is amazing how far He is
willing to come, and how far He has gone to make our journey possible,
bearable, and enjoyable. Think, ponder, pray-- your answers are awaiting
you on the wings of peace, consolation, and everlasting HOPE!
Paint the sky with your desires. Live your heart's song.
I love you all.

December 16
I testify that the Lord answers prayers in a way that will edify His kingdom on the earth. For quite some time now I have been praying that my weaknesses may become strengths, and that I can understand more fully what it means to come unto Christ and be changed in Him. I have been called to be a Sister Training Leader, which is the only leadership position (other than training) that we as sisters can have in the mission. I never saw it coming, and quite honestly I was overwhelmed when I saw my name in changes--
(z-ella is the nickname for the sister leaders)
So, here I am. In a new area that I know NOTHING about, with an amazing companion from Costa Rica, and doing divisions with 2 companionships every week to train and teach the 14 sisters in my zone. We also will teach 2 trainings each change, and solve any problems that arise between the sisters. We travel more, we participate more, and we fast and pray more. I have been so humbled to be in this position, and I dont think I've ever relied on the Spirit so much to tell me what to do.
I just want to tell y'all about the Spirit. He helps in every way you could imagine. I have been so extremely blessed on my mission to understand more fully His mission in my life, and the way I can more fully receive inspiration from Him. I feel as if the gift of the Holy Ghost is the greatest gift I have ever received in my life, and I am grateful for the moments where I must rely FULLY on His guidance.
With Christmas around the corner, I want you all to ponder the life of our Savior. I know He of humble birth came here to do the will of His Father. I know He lives again.The Spirit testifies to my heart that Christ knows me personally.
I love you all.

Hermana Bondp! - December 14, 2013
I've got changes. I'll be in a new area with a new companion for Christmas.
Our zone made a tshirt and they misspelled my name. I'm now Hermana Bondp.
One of Rodrigo's neighbor's lost gold when a parrot flew into their house and ate it. The neighbor asked for Rodrigo's help and he said, "The only Person who can get your gold back is God!" So, he said a prayer and asked God to help him get the gold back. An hour later he was sitting in his house, and the parrot flew into his house, landed on his arm, and dropped the gold on his lap. He proudly marched back to his neighbor's house, and delivered the gold.
On a lighter note, I used a pickaxe for the first time ever.
I was really inspired by 2 Nephi 28 this week.
The Bishop found out I had changes, and asked me to give a talk yesterday in church. Of course it was about missionary work, but I felt very inspired to take a different direction. I talked about Doctrine and Covenants 110, and how Elder Ochoa told us in Stake Conference that this is no longer "missionary work", but is now "the work of salvation". We have got to leave our doors and share this gospel. And if for whatever reason we cannot, we must do our part with our ancestors. This gospel is glorious. I am so grateful for each gift and grace my Father in Heaven has given me during these short months in Panama.
I love you all!
I ALMOST FORGOT. Please remember the challenge given by President Packer about contacting one person before Christmas to share the gospel with! If you need ideas, you can look here!

Happy Mother's Day, AGAIN! - December 2, 2013
*note from Haley - So sorry this one is late everyone! I was sick all week and forgot to post this one. :D
This coming Sunday is Mothers Day here, so HMD again! And happy December to all of you. What a special time of year.
This coming Sunday is Mothers Day here, so HMD again! And happy December to all of you. What a special time of year.
Well, Hna Rios and I were SUPER sick all week, but we've bounced back and we're working hard again. Because we were sick we weren't able to go to the zone Thanksgiving, but we made up for it last night by cooking Thanksgiving dinner for Rodrigo.
Yesterday was a great fast and testimony meeting. I find myself strengthened and uplifted every time I leave from a testimony meeting here. There is a sister in the ward that always gets up to give her testimony and says, "I know that God lives." and sits down. I love her.
I went on divisions with Hermana Vasquez this week in her area, Burunga. We went to visit a less-active family with a daughter who wanted to get baptized on saturday. The father was indecisive and wasn't so sure that he wanted her to get baptized. I shared with him my experience from when I was baptized, and how my dad sat next to me that night and held my hand. After I got baptized my dad told me, "Michaela, I'm proud of you." Those words are most precious to me, because I could almost hear my Heavenly Father's voice echoing through my dad's. I told Yerania's dad that if he couldnt pray about whether or not it was a good idea for her to get baptized, to atleast pray for the courage to sit by her daughter the night of her baptism. Saturday rolled around, and Yerania got baptized. And her father came.
I just realized I don't have much more to say. We do all of the same things every week. The experiences, people, and neighborhoods just change. But, we push forward and do our best.
I love you all.

Sunriver was the perfect setting for Nikki & Jared's wedding. Their love for the outdoors and the beauty of Oregon was reflected beautifully! Guests from across the globe came to Sunriver to celebrate the couple and enjoyed a weekend full of festivities. The ceremony was out on the Bachelor Lawn overlooking Mt. Bachelor on a gorgeous day. Guests laughed and cried as the couples said their sweet vows to one another. Nikki wore a gorgeous "Grace Kelley-esque" dress with a veil handmade by her mother, it was adorned with pearls and lace from her late Grandmother. So sweet!
After the ceremony, guests enjoyed the warm weather & good view with a cocktail in their hand on the back patio. Guests were greeted with a hand-written note from the couple, which acted as their escort card – such a personal touch! The group made their way into the Great Hall where tables were decorated with soft grey linen, purple napkins and gorgeous blooms by Heirloom Floral.
After a delicious meal and cake, guests danced the night away to music provided by Flip Flop Sound DJs. The admiration for this couple filled the room, it was so great to see how loved this couple was by all the guests who travelled miles to be attend the celebration! It was an evening to remember. Thank you, you two, for letting me be a part of your big day.

Warren Buffett Biography
Warren Buffett was born in 1930 in Omaha, Nebraska, the second of three children and the only son of Leila (née Stahl) and Congressman Howard Buffett. Warren Buffett began his education at Rose Hill Elementary School.
In 1942, his father was elected to the first of four terms in the United States Congress, and after moving with his family to Washington, D.C., Warren finished elementary school, attended Alice Deal Junior High School and graduated from Woodrow Wilson High School in 1947, where his senior yearbook picture reads: "likes math; a future stockbroker."
After finishing high school and finding success with his side entrepreneurial and investment ventures, Warren Buffett wanted to skip college to go directly into business, but was overruled by his father.
In 1947, Warren Buffett entered the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. He would have preferred to focus on his business ventures; however, he enrolled due to pressure from his father.
Warren Buffett studied there for two years and joined the Alpha Sigma Phi fraternity. He then transferred to the University of Nebraska–Lincoln where at 19, he graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration.
After being rejected by Harvard Business School, Warren Buffett enrolled at Columbia Business School of Columbia University upon learning that Benjamin Graham taught there. Warren Buffett earned a Master of Science in Economics from Columbia in 1951. After graduating, Warren Buffett attended the New York Institute of Finance.
Warren Buffett worked from 1951 to 1954 at Buffett-Falk & Co. as an investment salesman; from 1954 to 1956 at Graham-Newman Corp. as a securities analyst; from 1956 to 1969 at Warren Buffett Partnership, Ltd. as a general partner and from 1970, as Chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway Inc.
Warren Buffett Wiki
In April 1952, Warren Buffett discovered that Graham was on the board of GEICO insurance. Taking a train to Washington, D.C. on a Saturday, he knocked on the door of GEICO's headquarters until a janitor admitted him.
There he met Lorimer Davidson, Geico's Vice President, and the two discussed the insurance business for hours. Davidson would eventually become Warren Buffett's lifelong friend and a lasting influence, and would later recall that he found Warren Buffett to be an "extraordinary man" after only fifteen minutes.
Warren Buffett wanted to work on Wall Street; however, both his father and Ben Graham urged him not to. He offered to work for Graham for free, but Graham refused.
Towards his later life, particularly following the global financial crisis of 2007-08, Warren Buffett became an increasingly vocal critic of active management, i.e., mutual funds and hedge funds.
Warren Buffett is skeptical that active management and stock-picking can outperform the market in the long run, and has advised both individual and institutional investors to move their money to low-cost index funds that track broad, diversified stock market indices.
Warren Buffett said in one of his letters to shareholders that "when trillions of dollars are managed by Wall Streeters charging high fees, it will usually be the managers who reap outsized profits, not the clients."
In 2007, Warren Buffett made a bet with numerous managers that a simple S&P 500 index fund will outperform hedge funds that charge exorbitant fees. By 2017, the index fund was outperforming every hedge fund that had made the bet against Buffett by a significant margin.
Warren Buffett Bio
In 1949, Warren Buffett was infatuated with a young woman whose current boyfriend had a ukulele. In an attempt to compete, he bought one of the diminutive instruments and has been playing it ever since.
Though the attempt was unsuccessful, his music interest was a key part of his becoming a part of Susan Thompson's life and led to their marriage. Warren Buffett often plays the instrument at stock holder meetings and other opportunities. Warren Buffett love of the instrument led to the commissioning of two custom Dairy Queen ukuleles by Dave Talsma, one of which was auctioned for charity.
Warren Buffett married Susan Buffett (née Thompson) in 1952. They had three children, Susie, Howard and Peter. The couple began living separately in 1977, although they remained married until Susan Buffett's death in July 2004. Their daughter, Susie, lives in Omaha, is a national board member of Girls, Inc., and does charitable work through the Susan A. Buffett Foundation.
In April, 2012, Warren Buffett was diagnosed with stage I prostate cancer during a routine test. He announced he would begin two months of daily radiation treatment from mid-July; however, in a letter to shareholders, Buffett said he felt "great – as if I were in my normal excellent health – and my energy level is 100 percent".
In September, 2012, Warren Buffett announced that he had completed the full 44-day radiation treatment cycle, saying "it's a great day for me" and "I am so glad to say that's over".
