Advancing Women in Asia
March 7, 2012
The phrase "gender equality as smart economics" has become the mantra of such women leaders as Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and UN Women Executive Director Michelle Bachelet. While some of Asia's economies are booming, this does not always lead to greater opportunities for women. In fact, many women across Asia still lack access to basic education, face significant challenges in earning an income or starting a business, are vulnerable to human trafficking, and struggle to participate in policy decisions that drastically affect their families. Watch this slideshow to learn how The Asia Foundation is working to help women in Asia fight these obstacles.
One comment on this post:
Women should be treated as equals with men but they are NOT equal to men. By the same token, Men should be treated as equals with women but they are NOT equal to women. It is the differences between men and women that make them compatible for union. A nut is different from its bolt. Both the bolt and its nut are equal in their importance to each other and it is their difference that makes them compatible in their union, holding bigger things together! Let us celebrate therefore, both the equality of the importance of women and men, and their differences too, as what the Heavenly Creator has made is always good individually and collectively. Praise Him, Praise Her.

Georgetown College baseball's annual golf scramble will be a shotgun start at 9 am Saturday, Oct. 18 at Cherry Blossom. Come help out baseball, play a round of golf and stay for all the Homecoming festivities as the Tigers square off with University of the Cumberlands.
Pay $100 per individual or build a team $400. Prizes range from baseball memorabilia to golf gear – balls to clubs.
Sponsorship options are still available.
The season might be over, but the accolades continue to pour in for Georgetown College baseball. With the 2014 Avista World Series officially wrapping up Friday, the NAIA announced Monday morning the All-Americans.
Georgetown has two representatives – Martin Lemus and Tyler Arthur.
"It's an honor and a tribute to the respect this program is garnering to have two players on the All-American list," GC coach Micah Baumfeld said.
For the first time since 1987, Georgetown had a player on the first team list – Lemus. The senior from Lawndale, Calif., finished his career with a school season-record setting 13 homeruns, including a two-run shot at the world series.
Lewiston, Idaho – Emotional highs and lows can be very difficult for athletes. Some of that might have taken a toll on the No. 5 Tigers against Southern Polytechnic State University.
Georgetown College baseball dug another hole, erased the deficit, but did not have enough left in the tank to finish the comeback and stay alive at the 2014 Avista NAIA World Series.
"It has been a long and tough couple of weeks," said GC coach Micah Baumfeld. "I'm proud of my guys for the way they fought to get us here and fought in each of these games we had here. As a coach there is nothing more I can ask of them. We've built on each success we've had since winning our first MSC Tournament title three years ago and I don't expect anything less.
"These seniors have made what we did in 2012 a tradition and now it is up to these underclassmen to carry that banner and to fight to get back here next year. Our expectations are high."
Lewiston, Idaho – Georgetown College baseball has shown a lot of resiliency this postseason. The No. 5 Tigers (49-10) have rallied twice out of consolation brackets to advance to and force the if-necessary championship game.
They will need to do so again in the 2014 Avista NAIA World Series following a 5-4 setback to defending national champion Faulkner University (50-14) Friday.
Georgetown plays Southern Polytechnic Institution noon EST Saturday.
The Eagles used a single and an errant throw to be on second with one out in the ninth. This set up Luis Sanchez walk-off single to end the game.
From Little League to the Major Leagues – MLB – every level has a world series. For the NAIA it is the Avista NAIA Baseball World Series.
"It has always been a dream of mine to play in a world series at any level," said Georgetown College senior Justin Moore.
His dream came true this past Thursday when the No. 5 Tigers won four games in 29 hours, three in back-to-back-to-back fashion, to be one of 10 teams in Lewiston, Idaho – the site of the 2014 Avista NAIA Baseball World Series.
There are several ways to follow Georgetown as the trek to a national title begins Friday. GC faces Faulkner University 3 pm EST Friday. Follow GCAthletics on twitter for in-game updates. Live stats are available here. A paid video link is here. A free audio broadcast is here.
If the Tigers advance to the semifinals all remaining games will be available on ESPN3.

After winning PUMA's 2012 vElite bracket at USA Cup, TCC Club Albion SC went on an all expenses paid trip to visit Sporting Portugal.
While on their visit, the boys stayed on site at the academy. They trained with academy coaches, watched the first team traing, competed in a match against a Sporting Academy Team and attended a first team match in Lisbon.
It was the trip of a lifetime for the team!

When an insurer pays a policyholder's claim, the insurer sometimes seeks to off-load that payment "vertically", that is, by suing other insurance companies that issued lower-layer coverage, or "horizontally", that is, by suing other insurance companies that issued coverage in other policy periods.
When a performing insurer sues an underlying insurer, it typically does so on the theory of equitable subrogation. In those types of claims, the insurer "steps into the shoes" of the policyholder and pursues the policyholder's chose in action against the nonperforming insurer. E.g., Greater New York Mut. Ins. Co. v. North River Ins. Co., 85 F.3d 1088, 1096 (3d Cir. 1996). The policyholder's chose typically is assigned contractually or at equity by subrogation to the performing insurer
In any circumstance where one insurer is suing another entity for performance, the insured will have an interest in the policy proceeds to the extent that it has not been "made whole." Under the "made whole" or "make whole" doctrine, an insurer pursuing a subrogation claim retain the recovery unless and until the policyholder's loss has been fully indemnified. Thus, in the event the policyholder's loss exceeds the combined limits of all its coverage, that an overlying insurer has performed and sued a recalcitrant underlying insurer does not mean that that insurer is able to pocket the money from the nonperforming insurer. Instead, as should be reasonably obvious, the policyholder would be entitled to receive the money from the non-performing carrier, even if the overlying performing carrier is the one that brought suit. If the performing carrier succeeds in this suit, then the only consequence to the policyholder should be that the underlying carrier's payment is to be debited against its policy limits, and the limits of the performing carrier should be refreshed (to the extent that the policyholder has been fully indemnified and there is money left over from the proceeds from the underlying carrier). Cf. Alta California Regional Center v. Fremont Indemnity Co., 25 Cal. App. 4th 455, 466 (1994), overruled on other grounds, 11 Cal. 4th 1, 34 (1995). Once "made whole," however, most courts are uncomfortable with allowing the prospect that an insured might obtain more than complete recovery, Burns v. Cal. Fair Plan, __ Cal. App. 4th __ (Ct. App. June 25, 2007), but this issue more properly is policed through the collateral-source rule.
When a performing carrier instead brings an action against other insurers that issued policies in successive or prior policy years, its claim can be brought as a subrogation claim (asserting the rights of the insured) or as a contribution or indemnity claim (depending on whether the insurer is seeking partial recovery or full recovery from the nonperforming carriers). Most courts will look to the insurer's other-insurance clauses as guidance in determine the relative obligations of the different insurers.
The other-insurance clause does not limit the policyholder's right in the first instance, see Aerojet-General Corp. v. Transport Indem. Co., 17 Cal. 4th 38, 72 (1997) ("Although insurers may be required to make an equitable contribution to defense costs among themselves, that is all: An insured is not required to make such a contribution together with insurers."); Shade Foods, Inc. v. Innovative Products Sales & Marketing, Inc., 78 Cal. App. 4th 847, 909 (2000) ("The other-insurance clause . . . does not excuse the insurer from discharging its independent obligation to indemnify the insured up to policy limits."). Indeed, there is authority holding that it is bad-faith for an insurer to deny performance to the insured by pointing to another insurer. Silberg v. California Life Ins. Co., 11 Cal. 3d 452, 460 (1974). An other-insurance clause is not a "sue other insurance" obligation on the insured. Rhone-Poulenc Inc. v. International Ins. Co., 71 F.3d 1299 (7th Cir. 1996).
When an insurer pays the insured's claim, it may want to look around to other insurers to see whether the policies they issued also have an obligation to perform. Insureds may have an interest, however, in the dispute between one insurer and another. That it has an interest does not mean that the insured necessarily can preclude contribution actions.
Some states allow an insured to target its insurance coverage and in effect preclude one insurer from suing another horizontally. For example, in Casualty Indem. Exchange Ins. Co. v. Liberty National Fire Ins. Co., 902 F. Supp. 1235 (D. Mont. 1995), the insured failed to provide notice of a suit to one of its insurers yet obtained recovery from another. The performing insurer sought contribution but the court ruled that principles of equity did not allow it to force contribution from an insurer with a valid notice defense. Id. at 1239. Rather than simply failing to provide notice, sometimes insureds make the deliberate choice not to select an insurer to provide performance; in such circumstances, the question is whether that election precludes a contribution claim. In Illinois, for example, the answer clearly is yes. Under Institute of London Underwriters v. Hartford Fire Ins. Co., 234 Ill. App. 3d 70 (1992), the court upheld a "targeted tender" of the defense and insulated the non-targeted insurer from equitable contribution/indemnity claims.
Most courts, however, have found that one insurer should be permitted to seek recovery against another. E.g., Insurance Co. of North America v. Travelers Ins. Co., 118 Ohio App. 3d 302, 314 (1997) ("applying the principles of equity and natural justice, the secondary insurer possesses an equitable right to recover from the primary insurer, as well as a right to recover by way of subrogation under the policy."). But does an insurer have any obligation relative to its own insured not to seek contribution? In Mitchell, Silberberg & Knupp v. Yosemite, 58 Cal. App. 4th 389 (1997), the insured had been sued and several of its insurers agreed to settle the claim, subject to a reservation of rights among the insurers. In the later contribution action, one of the insurers contended that its policy never provided coverage to begin with, and thus it was entitled to contribution/indemnification. The insurer against which contribution was sought at the same time also was providing coverage for other claims against the insured. If it paid the contribution claim, the insurer would not have any limits available to pay for these other claims. The insured in response brought suit against Yosemite (the carrier that sought contribution), contending that it had breached its duty of good faith and fair dealing by paying to settle and then contending it had no obligation whatsoever, with the result being that its other coverage was unduly impaired. The court rejected the contention that the excess insurer's failure to reserve its rights against its own insured when paying the original settlement effected a waiver of its right to deny its coverage obligation ab initio in the subsequent litigation with the other carriers.
Consequently, an insurer in general breaches no duty to its insured when it seeks to pursue contribution against another insurance company issuing similar coverage at the same layer/risk. E.g., Illinois Emcasco Co. v. Continental Cas. Co., 487 N.E.2d 1110 (Ill. App. 1985); cf. Guaranty Nat'l Ins. Co. v. American Motorists Ins. Co., 981 F.2d 1108, 1109 (9th Cir. 1992) (discussing primary, true excess and "excess by coincidence" coverages). This is true when the effect on the policyholder from the contribution action is indirect, that is, a successful contribution action affects the policyholder's ability to obtain performance with respect to other claims.
An insurer, however, may not obtain contribution from "other insurance" when if successful the contribution action would result in a money award that comes from the policyholder's own pocket, at least in part. While it may not be bad faith for an insurer to pursue contribution, the insurer can obtain contribution only from "other insurance." Many commercial policyholders have various forms of "fronting" arrangements with insurers, so the question arises whether an initially targeted insurer may obtain contribution from an insurer that in turn will demand reimbursement from the policyholder pursuant to a side indemnity agreement, captive reinsurance arrangement, or matching deductible program. See Gabe's Constr. Co. v. United Capitol Ins. Co., 539 N.W.2d 144, 148 (Iowa 1995).
For example, a Florida appellate court held that an employer's $1 million deductible was not "other insurance" subject to contribution from a performing insurer. State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co. v. Universal Atlas Cement Co., 406 So.2d 1184 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1981); see also Wake County Hospital System v. National Cas. Co., 804 F. Supp. 768 (E.D.N.C. 1992). This has been the result in a number of other jurisdictions, e.g., American Fam. Mut. Ins. Co. v. Missouri Power and Light Co., 517 S.W. 2d 110 (Mo. 1974); USX Corp. v. Liberty Mut. Ins. Co., 645 N.E.2d 396 (Ill. App. 1994); Physicians Ins. Co. v. Grandview Hosp. and Medical Center, 542 N.E.2d 706 (Ohio App. 1988); Hertz Corp. v. Robineau, 6 S.W.3d 332 (Tex. App. 1999). Courts have looked to the economic substance of transactions to determine whether these are insurance – and thus even within the purview of "other insurance" clauses. E.g., Lawyers Title Ins. Co. v. Norwest Corp., 493 S.E.2d 114 (Va. 1997); State v. Continental Cas. Co., 879 P.2d 111, 1116 (Idaho 1994). As the Idaho court explained, "[t]he nature of 'self-insurance,' and the fact that it is not a form of insurance, is well-established. . . . Because 'self-insurance' does not involve a transfer of the risk of loss, but a retention of that risk, it is not insurance. [A] payment of . . . losses [that] was a matter of 'self-insurance', rather than insurance, . . . did not trigger the 'other insurance' clause in Continental's policy." Id. at 1116. Cf. Clougherty Packing Co. v. Commissioner, 811 F.2d 1297 (9th Cir. 1987) (captive-issued policies are not insurance).
Thus, various forms of fronting arrangements are not considered "other and valid collectible insurance" within the meaning of an other-insurance clause. Citgo Petroleum Corp. v. Yeargin, Inc., 690 So.2d 154 (La. App. 1997). This is true even where the self-insurance or fronted component is administered by an entity other than the insured in the first instance. State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co. v. Universal Atlas Cement Co., 406 So.2d 1184 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1981). Accordingly, an insurer that is targeted for performance from the insured cannot pursue contribution from other insurance companies where the result of a successful contribution action would be for the policyholder to pay in part for the claim. Any other result would defeat the substance of the policyholder's transaction with the originally targeted insurer, whereby it sought to transfer the risk of loss away from itself to its insurers.

Somewhat of a sequel to my last years submission. A few days with PainterX.
Rated 3 / 5 stars Jun 3, 2014
"Madness" works have never failed to strike me as repetitive and mindnumbingly derivative.
You're free to depict what you want, but I feel you're wasting your man hours on things like this.
On a technical not, the enemy spawn doesn't stand out so much- more like some attempt at generic toothy monsters on a boardgame card than something meant to be expressive or cinematic.
The "hero" character also seems much more in the foreground than the monster he's supposed to be shooting- and if he's supposed to be that way and is firing more to his right instead of straight ahead, it's simply not comng across.
The composition of the whole piece is really stunted, with bits and pieces that just don't fit together. It seems like you started out with the characters and background divided up over multiple layers and as you went on developing the scene you realized how everything wasn't quite lining up. Furthermore, I feel that you tried to condense and edit things to fit- more like beat into place, honestly- and at some point threw up your hands. The end result is...confusing.
No hard feelings, love, but I feel like your hand has developed too far past your eye and it's beginning to really show.

Lombard is spoken mainly in the north of Italy in all of Lombardy, except in the province of Pavia. It is also spoken in the Swiss canton of Ticino and three valleys of Graubünden/Grigioni. Western Lombard varieties are spoken in Sicily (Piazza Armerina, Nicosia) and Lombard is also spoken in USA. There are a number of dialects of Lombard with only limited mutual intelligibility between them.
The word "Lombard" is derived from "Longobard(us)", the name of a Germanic tribe which lived in central and northern Italy between about 600-800 AD. It is also used to refer the to the inhabitants of the central Padan Valley, a region known as Lombardy because it is based around the Longobard kingdom. During the Middle Ages the Italian word lombardo was used to refer to all inhabitants of northern Italy.
Lombard has never been an official language but in the last ten years it has been recognized as a separate language by some linguists. Though it is not currently taught in schools, some people are trying to have it introduced into primary schools. Lombard is spoken mainly by older people and is not popular with the young, particularly in the cities and towns. As a result, it is in danger of becoming extinct within a couple of generations. Lombard is the symbol of regional pride particularly among supporters of regional autonomy / independence.
There are a few television broadcasts and theatrical plays in Lombard. During the 19th century some great authors, notably Carlo Porta and Carlo Bertolazzi, wrote some poems, romances and plays in Lombard.

Community driven website that links together the best ideas, the best workers and required financing
I'm a web designer. This is an idea about a community driven website. If people are given the right tools, anything can be done.
There are problems in the world that need to be fixed, and improvements that can be made. You can call this "the mother of all improvement projects". Its like a much more advanced version of this TED website. The basis of the project is simple:
1. There are people in this world who are good in generating good ideas for solving various problems in society.
2. There are people who are willing to work to implement those ideas for money, or for personal satisfaction.
3. There are people who are rich and are willing to finance these ideas.
The web project would link these three elements. The best ideas will get "upvoted", improved and prioritized. The best workers will get the best feedback. Rich people can then decide which projects they want to finance.
The scope is limitless and can apply anywhere in the world from rich upper-class neighborhoods in developed countries to villages in Africa. Examples of problems: Reducing corruption in a government, improving laws, reducing crime, implementing other sub-projects, big or small, that make society better.
Why would this work? One examples of a community driven website is Reddit. The best/most amusing/interesting internet links/images/stories are "upvoted" to appear on their front page. Its a very popular website with a traffic rank of 130 in Alexa.
Other examples: Comments on Yahoo news article. The best comments get upvoted to the top. Another example is an internet search engine. The best websites for a certain term are ranked higher.
The success of a project depends on the belief we have in it and for me it is very strong. My goal is to get ideas and find a group of like-minded people to start working on this project.
I thought TED is a good place to come and get an initial response to this.

The Bibb County District Attorney' Office confirms that two former Bibb County deputies have been indicted for multiple charges.
Ervin Lee Heard, 42, is a former supervisor for the Bibb County Sheriff's Office and Ralph Burnell, Jr., 43, is the former Warden for the Bibb County Jail and currently serves as the Vance Police Chief.
The charges for each man were filed during a single investigation, which ultimately uncovered multiple crimes and victims.
A complaint was made in July 2013 to Assistant District Attorney Jim Ransom against heard by a juvenile victim. District Attorney Michael Jackson and Sheriff Keith Hannah were notified of the complaint and Hannah formally requested that Jackson's office investigate the complaint.
Heard was placed on suspension in September 2013 and subsequently dismissed, according to the District Attorney's Office.
Heard has been indicted on 20 counts: custodial sexual misconduct, sodomy first degree, sexual abuse first degree, human trafficking first degree, human trafficking second degree, two counts of sexual abuse first degree, intimidating a witness, unlawful possession of a controlled substance, theft of property first degree, two counts of ethics violations, two counts of unlawful imprisonment second degree, two counts of harassing communications, three counts of harassment, and unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia.
Heard's bond was set at $100,000. The District Attorney's Office says that he was arrested Thursday after turning himself in with his attorney. He has bonded out of the Bibb County Jail.
Burnell was indicted on three charges: intimidating a witness, obstructing governmental operations and tampering with physical evidence. His bond was set at $10,000. He was also arrested Thursday after turning himself in and has since bonded out of the Bibb County Jail.

The Ottawa Senators have some veteran performers, but the team's offensive production this season could be hinged on the play of two defensemen.
With only 57 points last year, his lowest total since the lockout, Jason Spezza could be poised for a bounceback season. In his last 30 games last season, Spezza tallied 18 goals and 38 points wot, with good health, he could very easily get back to his accustomed 80-plus points.
37-year-old Daniel Alfredsson scored better than a point-per-game last year (71 in 70 games), but his total of 20 goals was his lowest since 1998-1999 and his production has to slow down at some point, doesn't it?
Alex Kovalev's first season in Ottawa was a flop, with 49 points and a minus-8 rating, but more troubling is that his shots per game (2.14) was his lowest since he was a 19-year-old rookie in 1992-1993. Can Kovalev rev it up for another productive year at 37?
Coming off a career-high 25 goals and 53 points, despite slumping to 12 points in his last 25 games, Mike Fisher is a productive second-line centre who made himself a factor on the man advantage, with ten power play goals, last season. If Fisher could keep his early pace over a full year, new career bests would be achievable.
Though Milan Michalek surpassed 20 goals for the fourth straight season, he was a minus-12 last year and suffered another serious knee injury. He certainly has upside, particularly if he ends up flanking Spezza, but his upside doesn't seem as great as it did a few years ago.
If Michalek isn't riding shotgun on the top line, Peter Regin might be in position to build on his strong finish to 2009-2010 (eight points in last ten regular season games; three goals, four points in six playoff games). If Regin ends up on a scoring line, he's a prime candidate for a breakout offensive season.
Perhaps the biggest reason to be optimistic about the Senators' offensive production is their top two offensive defensemen.
Sergei Gonchar has put up at least .75 points per game for nine straight seasons, so if he stays healthy, that's better than a 60-point campaign. Of course, Gonchar has played a total of 87 games over the last two seasons, so expecting 80-plus games could be optimistic.
Sophomore blueliner Erik Karlsson tantalized late in his rookie year, scoring 13 points in his last ten games (and six points in six playoff games), and should be a dynamic force for the Sens in his second season. Gonchar's presence should also ease the pressure on Karlsson and allow the 20-year-old to turn in a productive full season.
Goaltending may still be an area of a concern for the Senators this year, but 25-year-old Brian Elliott is the safest option. Elliott produced a respectable .909 save percentage and 29 wins last season; how much better could he be this year?
Pascal Leclaire is on hand if Elliott isn't up to the starting responsibility, but it's been a couple of rough years for Leclaire since he posted nine shutouts with the Blue Jackets in 2007-2008.

Donald Trump and Sarah Palin may be media darlings but a new poll shows 60 percent of American voters would just say no to a GOP Presidential ticket that featured either as a 2012 candidate for President.
The Quinnipiac University poll of 1,408 voters found that former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney as the clear favorite among GOP hopefuls with former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee coming in second.
Each would get about 50 percent of the vote if the election were held today, the poll shows.
The poll injects a rare note of political reality into a crowded GOP field that has lately been dominated more by celebrity glitz than substance. Trump, who seems to be leaning towards a Presidential run, now appears to be fading in the public's eye while Palin has long ago dropped out of contention when it comes to public approval.
Trump says he will announce his intention after his TV reality show, "Celebrity Apprentice" ends its season later this month.
Palin is trying to be coy about her intentions but the numbers are not in her favor.
"Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee are in the best shape. Sarah Palin and Donald Trump suffer from the reality that, as our mothers told us, 'You never get a second chance to make a first impression,'" Peter Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute told Reuters.
The poll included 613 Republican and independent Republican-leaning voters and showed Romney as favorite to win the Republican presidential nomination with 18 percent, followed by Huckabee and Palin with 15 percent and Trump with 12 percent.
Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels and former House of Representatives Speaker Newt Gingrich came in far behind with 5 percent, while former Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty and Minnesota Representative Michele Bachmann trailed even lower with 4 percent.
Twice failed Presidential candidate Ron Paul? Not even a blip on the screen. Same for his son, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul.
The poll was conducted between April 16 and May 1, and comes on the eve of a South Carolina debate among a handful of potential Republican candidates, none high-profile.
The margin of error was 2.6 points.
6 Responses to "Trump, Palin strike out with voters"
I hope your numbers are right chief…In my new complex here in the area of Palm Springs, I found myself back in Arizona with an emotional hatred for our President Obama. This is based on the assumption that Trump, Palin and Limbaugh are all correct and Obama is a Muslim dedicated to the destruction of American values.
There is nothing positive or good about this Administration. What the hell is wrong with the American people who could buy into the automatic hatred of a "darker than normal" man in the White House?
I am picking up quotes from the Koran claiming that the world is indeed coming to an end under the warnings from the Bible's Revelations. Obama is the antichrist and must be recognised as such and thrown out of office. These fools actually believe that Trump is the only one who could do it.
This move cost me a fortune and I may never regain the strength in my body to ever completely heal. I became a hermit in Arizona and it seems I have not left the bigotry, racism and general hatred for liberals here in California.
I want to get back into politics and work FOR my candidates without insulting the competition. I do better without the negativity found in many American neighborhoods where the war against Obama is driving the people insane.
I do not believe in the occult and this entire part of my new home is based on some information of our extinction as a species. Is it the Christian leaders who use this terrorism or is it just a fat ignorant Rush Limbaugh? Something has taken over so many Americans that I feel ashamed to even live here.
So I ordered a new book written by Rex Ryan (coach of the N.Y. football team) to get back into my hobby of football watching. Sure it is violent but it is an honest violence. It is a trained team work effort that many Americans could learn from.
Trump and Palin will be exposed for their shallowness but it will be interesting to see where Rush Limbaugh goes next. It would not hurt any American to get their own agenda set in cement. Once the agenda is set, then go locate a candidate who will focus on it. If America decides to stay with a white Christian straight leader, then make it a decent choice. It could be the demise of the Republican Party and I will not lose a minute's sleep. CHB seems to want a level of socialism to equalize the wealth in America. Okay make it happen but don't call it a moral action.
Great interview with Trump in the latest Bloomberg Businessweek, with the Donald preferring not to answer questions about policy. Featured quote: "Isn't this more about business, like, what a great job I've done in business? 'Cause I've made a lot of money!"
Aside from his multiple bankruptcies, of course.
If Palin were to be elected, would our country turn into the Wild West? Would there be mass exodus to Canada? I created a visual commentary about her absurdity and rhetoric on my artist's blog at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2011/01/sarah-palin-made-me-do-it.html Drop by and let me know what YOU think!
Huntsman will come out the winner should he decide to run. He is Mitt, a Mormon moderate without the Massachusetts mandatory healthcare law hanging over his head. He's known to work with the opposition and even worked most recently for Obama as ambassador to China. We're going to need someone to pucker up to China if the dollar is going to survive much longer. Plus, he has the NWO pedigree and has worked in all the past globalist Presidencies so the corpo-media also will love him.
There's just that slight problem from Jon's early years where he dropped out of high school to play in a rock band. He's a keyboard playing Republican Bill Clinton.
At least you mentioned Ron Paul. Most media outlets are already in full Paul blackout mode where they won't even mention his name. Let him lose it on his own. The media shouldn't chose our candidates. But that's our sad reality.
Woody, am I wrong in trying to find out what went sour within the GOP? I have worked within the center of the GOP since the end of WW2 and I agree with most of the agenda but not all. In my world the party when to hell the minute the churches claimed America. In talking to my kids over the last 6 months, they don't even know of anyone who claims to be a Christian out loud. Is it a secret society? Most of the residents in my area are Jewish. Are they now part of this hate Obama culture?
I have swallowed my words for many years when it comes to federal campaigns. I held my nose and wrote in candidates for many years but that is not working for me. I have looked at Huntsman as a possible choice but he must stand for equality for all Americans. He's a Mormon but I could overlook this very strange concept of Jesus Christ. To me J.C. was a brilliant man with the ability to gather others who were looking for a model leader. But I also see what organized religion did to him. What's worse, what they did to their own membership. Scaring me or my kids with the boogeyman is pointless as we have no interest in the occult. I am susceptible to leaders who respect and love the American people. Anyone who threatens me with hell and damnation had better be ready to be kicked in the ass.
We used to spend a lot of time in Mexico when I was growing up and I could not tolerate having to watch a bull fight. I feel the GOP is having their own bull fight with the killer swords being directed by Rush Limbaugh. Even worse, one of my best friends (who is a member here) is claiming that Obama is a living lie and is feeding this crap into Trump and many others. He is a religious Jew and yet spreading lies about anyone seems to be justified.
Thanks Woody, I will keep an eye (or two) on Huntsman…..,Being a Mormon usually means no rights for women or gays. How they react to Islam could be a potential war. We are talking about a boogeyman with another name and it seems ridiculous to hate this much.
You might have the right idea of simply locating a leader who can work with others and giving away much of our American leadership. It could work for a couple of years but we must share the respect for the Constitution.
The GOP will never put a Catholic or a Mormon (Huntsman or otherwise) up for President because they know their religious right base will never vote for one. Spend some time in the deep South and listen to the fundamentalists talk and you'll find out that most of them believe Catholics and Mormons are cults and they will never vote for them.

Matthew Broderick has given Hollywood bosses the green light to remake his classic movie "Ferris Bueller's Day Off," but doesn't want any involvement in it.
Rumors have swirled for months suggesting studio chiefs are nursing plans to bring the cult 1980s comedy back to the big screen in either a sequel or a remake.
Broderick has now commented on the reports, insisting he would be "happy" with plans to bring back rebellious teen Ferris, as long as the project is handed to a completely new cast.
He tells Cinematical, "(A remake) would be fine. I would be perfectly happy for somebody to do that. I probably wouldn't enjoy (having a role in the film). I would rather leave what we did as our thing."

Scott Hannan has returned to the San Jose Sharks.
The Nashville Predators have traded the 34-year-old defender to the Sharks in exchange for a conditional 2013 seventh-round draft pick. The pick would become a sixth-rounder in the event Hannan plays in one playoff game this season.
Hannan has registered one assist and a minus-11 rating in 29 games with the Predators this season. He is slated to become an unrestricted free agent at season's end after signing a one-year, $1 million deal with the Predators prior to this season.
Originally drafted in the first round (23rd overall) by San Jose at the 1997 NHL Entry Draft, Hannan played his first seven seasons with the Sharks.
In 937 career games with the Sharks, Predators, Colorado Avalanche, Washington Capitals and Calgary Flames, Hannan has scored 33 goals and 165 assists.
He has represented Canada internationally, winning a gold medal at the 2004 World Cup of Hockey and a silver medal at the 2005 IIHF World Championships.

Clock/timer is a pain
Brews Quickly
Coffee Doesn't Stay Hot
Complicated Controls
Best Uses
I inadvertently pushed the Clean button, it will not turn off. I went ahead and cleaned it but it still flashes all the time. I emailed their customer service asking how I could turn it off and never received a reply. The thermal pot does not keep the coffee hot, have to microwave.
How long have you owned it:
More than six months
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Watch for defects
Easy to fill
Easy To Use
Fits Under Low Cabinets
Large Pot
Makes good coffee
Defect In Digital Display
Handle Not Straight
Pot Leaked When Pouring
Best Uses
I purchased the 12-cup model in this series. I was thrilled that the unit fit under my low countertops and the top swung out horizontally from the front so that the unit could be filled with water and coffee without having to move the coffee maker. I had the unit for several days and discovered that part of the visible display wasn't working so I couldn't tell if the digit was a 3 or an 8, for example. Initially, I was willing to overlook this defect. However, it took me a few more days to realize that it wasn't possible to pour a cup of coffee without dribbling coffee. Upon further examination, I discovered there was a leak in the seal where the glass coffee pot attaches to the plastic pouring spout. Lastly, I noticed that the front handle was not straight. I returned the coffeemaker to the store with the hope that this was just one defective unit. However, I opened the second one with store staff and the second coffee maker had the same problems.
How long have you owned it:
A month or less
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
do not buy
No Pros
Carafe heavy
Hard To Clean
Inconvenient to use
Mandatory clean timer
Ugly Design
Best Uses
Nothing is great. Most serious complaint is that dry grounds are found in filter at end of brew cycle -- waste of my good coffee! Clean indicator is on a timer, can't reset it -- mine does not need cleaning, I only use filtered water to begin with. Minor complaint that clock is 24-hour device without option.
How long have you owned it:
One-to-three months
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"The writing on the card is beautiful, as is the turquoise lettering I ordered for the sample. It looks great on the pearl paper - has a subtle shimmer. However, we will not be going with this design, because the background is yellow; online it looks like an off-white, creamy color, which is more intense and yellow in person. unfortunately this does not agree with our wedding colors, but overall - a beautiful card!"
"The colors go well with our motif. The service was great! I had last minute changes and they were able to fix it! I will definitely order invitations from this company again! It is work every penny!"
"I was instantly drawn to this invitation when I opened up the sample package that arrived. It is beautiful without being overbearing and the design is both subtle and striking (if that makes sense). This is definitely a contender!"
"Received exactly what I had requested! They were great with my color change of text/etc. request and personalizing the wedding invitation exactly to my specifications. I would highly recommend this company solely based on their exceptional customer services skills alone! I received a hand-written thank from them for just ordering samples. I also had keyed in the incorrect promo code at check-out. I emailed them asking to update it and received a response back with an hour and they had already corrected the charge. Like I said, amazing old school customer service, which is rare these days! My only minimal complaint would be that you are not able to review a sample of the changes you request *before* purchasing the item. However, they do send you a digital proof before the actual printing begins to review."
"I ordered these for my wedding invitations, and I am very happy with the result! The Ecru paper is very high quality and durable, and the thermography is so beautiful! I did my research by ordering a few samples first to figure out what paper and font I wanted, and I ended up with the perfect invitations!"

Ali ben Youssef Medersa
'You who enter my door, may your highest hopes be exceeded' reads the inscription over the entryway to the Ali ben Youssef Medersa, and after almost six centuries, the blessing still works its charms on visitors.
'You who enter my door, may your highest hopes be exceeded' reads the inscription over the entryway to the Ali ben Youssef Medersa, and after almost six centuries, the blessing still works its charms on visitors.
A short walk down Talaa Kebira from Bab Bou Jeloud, the Medersa Bou Inania is the finest of Fez' theological colleges. It was built by the Merenid sultan Bou Inan between 1350 and 1357.
Unlike other Glaoui kasbahs, Taourirt escaped ruin by moonlighting as a Hollywood backdrop (Sheltering Sky, Gladiator, Prince of Persia ) and attracting the attention of Unesco, which has carefully restored small sections of the inner sanctum.
The maze of rooms at Tamnougalt ksar (fortified stronghold) leads through a sizable mellah, dips underground with strategically placed skylights and candle nooks, and emerges into sunny courtyard stables lined with horseshoe arches.
This enormous green space has over 200,000 date palms, as well as fig and pomegranate trees and canopied garden holdings. It's best explored by foot or bicycle (ask at your hotel for recommended bike hire).
Skoura's defining features remain its mudbrick kasbahs and vast Unesco-protected palm groves, earning the moniker 'Oasis of 1000 Palms'. Under this green canopy, a 15-mile patchwork of carefully tended garden plots are watered by an ingenious, centuries-old khettara system of locks, levers and canals. More than 100 bird species flourish here.
While non-Muslims can't visit Sidi ben Nassir's green-roofed mausoleum, anyone can visit the library inside the adjacent medersa for Quranic scholars. Among the 4000 books on these glassed-in shelves are ancient medical, mathematics, algebra and law texts, in addition to splendid 13th-century Qurans written on gazelle hide.
Founded by Abu Said in 1325 in the heart of the medina, the Attarine was designed as an annexe to the nearby Kairaouine. The central courtyard displays the traditional patterns of Merenid artisanship, with magnificent zellij (tilework), carved plaster and cedar wood. Onyx columns flank the mihrab. Slightly smaller than the Medersa Bou Inania, it has been sensitively restored.
The tombs in this area are some of the best, but least visited, attractions on the west bank. Nestled in the foothills opposite the Ramesseum, there are more than 400 tombs belonging to nobles from the 6th dynasty to the Graeco-Roman period.
Carved out of the mountain on the west bank of the Nile between 1274 and 1244 BC, Ramses II's imposing temple was as much dedicated to the deified pharaoh himself as to Ra-Horakhty, Amun and Ptah.
The call of the wild is perhaps nowhere louder than in the 28,000-hectare Mapungubwe National Park. This spectacular park, which opened in 2004 and is still overlooked compared to Kruger, occupies some hot African terrain in the Limpopo River Valley, where the mercury hits 45°C during the summer.
The oldest pyramid in Giza and the largest in Egypt, Khufu's Great Pyramid stood 146m high when it was completed around 2570 BC.

This conversation is closed.
Live Chat today at 4pm Eastern: "Why School? How Education Must Change When Information and Learning Are Everywhere"
Author Will Richardson will be joining us for a live Q&A today at 4pm Eastern!
Continuing with our series of TED book chats, for the next week and a half we'll be discussing Will Richardson's new TED eBook, "Why School?"
Traditional educators, classrooms, and brick-and-mortar schools are no longer necessary to access information. Instead, things like blogs and wikis, as well as remote collaborations and an emphasis on 'critical thinking' skills are the coins of the realm in this new kingdom. Yet the national dialogue on education reform focuses on using technology to update the traditional education model, failing to reassess the fundamental model on which it is built.
In TED's new eBook, "Why School?", educator, author, parent and blogger Will Richardson challenges traditional thinking about education—questioning whether it still holds value in its current form.
The book is available for Kindle, Nook, and iOS devices (which have a great new custom TED Books app):
Kindle copy: http://www.amazon.com/Why-School-Information-Everywhere-ebook/dp/B00998J5YQ
iOS app: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ted-books/id511071050?mt=8
You can also read more on Will's blog: http://willrichardson.com
So, let's get things started... when information is everywhere, what is the purpose of traditional schools?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Oct 8 2012: Hi Will,
Regarding assessment. I understand we are completely rethinking education, here. And with good reason. Even John Seely Brown, in his long tail and learning as enculturation ideas, talks about a virtuous cycle between niche interest development and coming back to the "fat part" of the tail to learn that core knowledge and then students returning to their niche interests to apply it. He says a core curriculum based around critical thinking (and I would add literacy and numeracy to a point). Could Performance Assessments (I know they present many challenges for reliability, etc.) that are open ended and authentic provide some common ground between competing views on approaches to education?

This Home Furnishings Company Is A Bit Too Pricey
Matthew is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Williams-Sonoma (NYSE: WSM) is one of the leading retailers of high-quality goods for the home, with well-known brands such as Williams-Sonoma, Pottery Barn, and West Elm. Since bottoming out at $4.35 in 2009, when pretty much all of retail was in a free-fall, the stock has rebounded and more, and is currently trading around $47, higher than it ever was before the crash. My only problem is that now the stock may be getting a little too expensive, and I'm not so sure that the company's earnings growth warrants its high valuation.
Williams-Sonoma sells its products both through its retail stores (56% of sales) as well as its direct-mail catalogs (44% of sales). Williams-Sonoma stores offer mainly culinary equipment, such as cookware, cutlery, glassware, and specialty foods. Pottery Barn offers mostly home furnishings as well as bed and bath products. West Elm sells furniture, decorative items, and lighting accessories.
The company competes with other retail chains such as Bed, Bath, and Beyond (NASDAQ: BBBY) and Pier 1 Imports (NYSE: PIR), as well as with larger discount retailers such as Target (NYSE: TGT), which I believe is actually the biggest threat to all three of the other retailers mentioned.
Bed, Bath, and Beyond sells a very broad range of domestic merchandise such as bed linens and bath items, as well as basic housewares and home furnishings. The company operates around 1,000 stores, and expects to grow to around 1,300 stores in the U.S. and has just begun expanding to Canada. One thing I love about Bed, Bath, and Beyond as an investment is their excellent balance sheet, with about $1.8 billion in cash and no debt.
Pier 1 specializes in imported decorative home furnishings and gifts, and operates over 1,000 stores in the U.S. and Canada. Pier 1's stock has undergone one of the best post-crisis rebounds in history, trading as low as 10 cents per share as recently as 2010, pretty far from its current level of around $22.50. In other words, if you were to have invested $1,000 in Pier 1 at the right time, it would be worth around $225,000 currently! I'm not crazy about Pier 1 as an investment right now however, with its lofty 23.5 P/E ratio, not to mention the fact that it is not as cash-rich as the other companies profiled here.
Target and the other giants like it are the ones to really be scared of. I chose Target in particular because they have made the most effort of the giant discount retailers to sell stylish products to attempt to compete with high-end retailers such as Williams-Sonoma. Target is actually the number four furniture retailer in the country by sales volume, and their furniture sales are climbing steadily every year.
While I think that Williams-Sonoma is a great company, it is simply too expensive right now. The stock trades for 19.7 TTM earnings, a significant premium to peers. For comparison, Bed, Bath, and Beyond has a P/E ratio of just 13, with nice growth projections. Bed, Bath, and Beyond is projected to grow its earnings at an annual average of 9.7%, more than justifying its multiple.
Speaking of growth, consensus estimates call for Williams-Sonoma to grow its earnings by an average of 12% annually going forward. While I agree that consumer spending is on an uptrend, I'm not sure that consumers are quite ready to splurge on luxury items, especially when stores like Target offer fashionable alternatives for much lower prices.
One thing that the company does have working in its favor, however, is its excellent balance sheet, which has over half a billion dollars in cash and no debt. The company also pays a decent dividend of just under 2% annually, which it has a good history of increasing.
As far as products go, I like Williams-Sonoma the best out of the companies mentioned here. They have quality merchandise and very competent leadership who have developed a good strategy. However, the stock looks a bit too expensive, especially when there are very attractively valued alternatives out there. With a bit of a pullback though, Williams-Sonoma could be a good long-term play on retail indeed.

Can Kodak find a new moment after bankruptcy?
A much smaller and commercially focused company will exit Chapter 11 next month. Losers include retirees, shareholders and creditors.
The one-time photography giant, which stumbled and failed to adapt to the advent of digital cameras, entered court protection with about 17,000 employees, but it will exit with only 8,500 workers, Bloomberg notes.
Started by George Eastman in 1888, the company boomed over the next century, inventing the Brownie camera and creating the idea of snapshot photography with the slogan, "You press the button -- we do the rest."
But Kodak sold the consumer print and photographic products during the bankruptcy, severing ties to the businesses it was best known for. Today, Kodak is only slightly larger than it was over a century ago, when it employed 5,000 people in the early 1900s.
Kodak hopes to exit bankruptcy on Sept. 3, although an attorney for the company warned that "closing is complicated," USA Today notes.
But the exit approval was far from a Kodak moment, given the overall suffering it means for retirees, shareholders and Kodak creditors.
"Many are losing their retirement benefits," U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Allan Gropper said during approval of the plan, USA Today notes. "Many are finding their recovery as a creditor is just a minute fraction of what their debt is from Kodak. (Kodak's) decline and bankruptcy is a tragedy of American economic life."
Kodak filed for bankruptcy in 2012, after cutting 47,000 employees since 2003 and closing 13 factories and 130 photo laboratories, Bloomberg notes.
The company stumbled as digital photography gained in popularity, despite the fact that one of its own invented the first digital camera. When engineer Steven Sasson demonstrated his prototype to Kodak's management in the 1970s, he recalled to The New York Times that their reaction was, "That's cute -- but don't tell anyone about it."
The new Kodak will need to spread its message far and wide, given the company's desire to dominate the commercial printing industry. Its plan also depends on selling $406 million of new stock.
"Next, we move on to emergence as a technology leader serving large and growing commercial imaging markets -- such as commercial printing, packaging, functional printing and professional services -- with a leaner structure and a stronger balance sheet," chief executive Antonio Perez said in a statement.
Whether Kodak can recapture some of its lost magic remains to be seen.

Don't worry the lawyers and the executives (the ones that put the company in the position of having to file bankruptcy due to their incompetence, indifference, and not wanting to keep up with the times) will be just fine. They won't see any financial harm from this. Just everyone else who helped build the company into what it is.
Any deal should include executives paying back past bonuses and maybe even some salary, as well as full loss of benefits and pensions and making them start over as well with a least some of them being out right fired on top of this. Some might not like that but I think its fair and no reason they should get by unscathed while everyone else takes a beating.
I think its time
A commerical printing and imaging company? Must be huge market out there for 12-story tall "Big Brother Hates Your Guts" or "Scr*w You" or "Go F*ck Yourself" posters.
Has anybody, especially the ones that should be feeling the least bit responsible, do any of these people have any idea of what will happen to all these tens of thousands of former retired Kodak employees when this company, like so many others, gets to walk away from its pension and health care promises and obligations?
I am VERY grateful to Anthony Perez for doing everything he could to save Kodak. Under his guidance
he and his team has put Kodak back together. Many, many, many thanks for his efforts. It is unfortunate so many had to suffer but GUESS WHAT???? Kodak doesn't sell film anymore so therefore Kodak doesn't have any money.
Do you know anyone that wants a buggy whip?
Film is not Dead.
Unless you buy a 60K large format digital camera, you cannot come close to the quality of an 8x10 or 4x5 negative.
Film will still be made under the Kodak name, but not by the actual Kodak company discussed in this article.
I believe the UK Pension group purchased or recieved the rights to manufacture the film... too bad the US pensioners are getting screwed yet again. This is why Labor Laws are important.
some posters are saying the retirees are taking the brunt wrongly.
I argue they are taking exactly what they bargained for. They decided to hitch their retirement wagon as a Pension Plan INSTEAD of a Defined Contribution plan. This is an INVESTMENT strategy....
For these pensioners, they thought the payout would be higher not having to deal with the process of dealing with their own savings/IRA/401k etc AND they believed Kodak would take care of them... SO, the pensioners were really INVESTORS looking for a future payout - IT DIDN'T COME TO THEM..
Moral of the story: (listen up all you people who want govt to get involved or to punish Kodak) -- IF YOU WANT SOMETHING DONE RIGHT, DO IT YOURSELF (manage your own retirement)
DEFINED BENEFIT = MORAL HAZARD! (any exec can promise you a dollar tomorrow for work done today)
SO start looking around at the PUBLIC sector and START TELLING your Representative the public employees should be on DEFINED CONTRIBUTION not DEFINED BENEFIT....
hey----the people who took the hit are the ones this illustrious country always target to take the hit---
ain't America wonderful----sure make us proud to be here doesn't it------as ole George dubya would say---------
-"only in America"
hey---I got an idea !! ! ! ! lets pay bomi and all is cronies in Kodak stock

About Godiva
Rich, luscious Godiva chocolate tastes even sweeter with the savings provided by a Godiva promo code. Whether you're a devoted chocolate fan or prefer it as an occasional treat, you probably know that Belgium is the source of some of the best stuff in the world. That includes Godiva's mouthwateringly rich truffles, chocolate bars, dipped fruits, and other treats made with white, dark, or milky Belgian chocolate. This luxury chocolatier's offerings extend even further, though; try sippable treats such as chocolate-infused coffee, liqueur, and cocoa. And, don't forget to grab one of Groupon's Godiva coupons for savings on some of the world's most indulgent sweets.
Godiva Chocolatier got its start in 1926, when the Draps family began crafting chocolates and selling them outside their home in Brussels, Belgium. They'd originally named their business Chocolaterie Draps, but founder Joseph Draps renamed the family confectionery after the story of Lady Godiva, a noblewoman whose legendary grace reflected the elegant nature of the Draps family's chocolates.
Although Godiva boutiques can be found across the world today, the company's Belgian heritage is strong. In fact, the chocolatier operated exclusively in Belgium for more than 30 years, opening the first Godiva shop outside of Belgium on the rue Saint-Honoré, in Paris. Americans finally got their own Godiva shop in 1972 when the company opened a boutique on Fifth Avenue in New York City. Today, Godiva's chefs continue to craft chocolates with the smooth texture, balanced flavors, and artfully molded designs that the company's founder prized. They've also innovated, however, by creating products such as buttery caramel-pecan bark and Fruit Fusion chocolates, which pair silky chocolate with exotic and tropical fruits. These treats are elegantly boxed in Godiva's signature Gold Ballotins, special holiday boxes, and other appealing packaging, and they're available at a discount thanks to a Groupon Freebies' Godiva promo code.
Are you already craving a mouthwatering truffle or a juicy strawberry dipped in Belgian chocolate? Don't forget to grab a Godiva coupon, courtesy of Groupon Freebies, for extra savings.
