MADRID (Reuters) - Spain is ready to apologize to Bolivia's president for events that delayed his plane, the foreign minister said on Tuesday, but he again denied banning the jet from Spanish airspace on the belief that U.S. fugitive Edward Snowden was aboard.
Bolivia has accused Spain, France, Portugal and Italy of closing their skies to Evo Morales' plane after being told it was carrying the former U.S. spy agency contractor from Moscow to Bolivia.
"If any misunderstanding has taken place, I don't have any objection to saying sorry to President Morales," Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Garcia-Margallo said.
He repeated Spain's denial that it had closed its airspace to Morales's flight.
"Spain authorized the transit of its airspace. It granted airspace permission on the basis of the word of the Bolivian Foreign Minister," Garcia-Margallo said. "We believe the word of our allies and friends."
Keen to maintain historical ties to the region, a growing export market, Madrid has renewed efforts in recent months to nurture relationships with Latin America after expropriations last year by Bolivia and Argentina hit Spanish companies.
On Sunday, Bolivian Foreign Minister David Choquehuanca said Garcia-Margallo had told him he had been informed Snowden was on Morales' plane last week.
According to Choquehuanca, Garcia-Margallo asked the Bolivians for a written note vowing the Snowden was not a passenger before flight permits were restored.
U.S. President Barack Obama has said any country that gives Snowden shelter would face serious costs. Snowden is believed to be holed up at Moscow's Sheremetyevo International Airport, where he landed on June 23 from Hong Kong.
The Bolivian government believes the U.S. knew that Snowden was not on the plane and simply wanted to intimidate Morales because of his outspoken criticism of U.S. policies. The president has since said he would offer Snowden asylum.
Bolivia has demanded Spain, Italy, Portugal and France tell them who had said Snowden was on board Morales flight.
"The rumor that Snowden was on the plane was a rumor extended across the world and acknowledged by the Bolivian authorities in the texts they sent me," Garcia-Margallo said.
Asked whether the alert that Snowden was on the flight was raised by the United States, he said: "among other things".

Revolution! ... or peaceful protest? What is the best method for change, and why should we be talking about it?
So, you want a revolution.
Is America due for radical change? What changes would you make? How would you go about making them? What methods bring real results?
And finally, what do you believe is the breaking point for revolution/rebellion?
My opinion to come shortly.
Closing Statement from Mandy Fisher
The conversation may be closed, but the topic is only beginning to brew. Thank you all for your comments. Let's continue the conversation, and perhaps we'll find we arrive at a feasible solution.
Until next time...

Mandy FisherAug 21 2013: I had a realization this morning.
It just doesn't work. To replace the current government only results in injecting another, as some of you have said, which may or may not be just as bad, but most certaintly just as controlling (eventually). Revolution is akin to a temper tantrum of a small child. The child is opressed (in the child's view) by something, and thus, explodes in a fit of fury and dismay. The child sometimes gets her way, and sometimes is punished instead. Either way, the temper is subdued, and control is maintained. Illusion of freedom is given temporarly to keep the screaming babe calm, for now.
The world is so interconnected. A single government is not realvent anymore. The days of killing the king and declaring independence are gone- it's bigger then that. The true puppet masters will never be reached by the people, no matter how angry, or how powerful they may become. Sure, we can make a big mess, kill off half our population, bring chaos and disorder- all in vain. They are excellent housekeepers, and no mess is too big to clean up.
So, what can we do? I am beginning to think that the only avenue for awakening is to live by example. Peacefully detach one's self from the soceity in which they disagree. Perhaps bring enough people together to purchase a large track of land; creating a community based on a model of happiness, comradery, and sustainability. Show that system works. Lead by example. I think this is the only chance one has to make true difference.
Nigel BamberAug 21 2013: The problem is that there isn't a club. There needs to be one. It's easy for individuals to think that they are the only person who thinks the way we live is wrong, and therefore perhaps they must be the one that is wrong instead.
As Fritzie says, there are millions of people trying to live by different, peaceful rules. Perhaps tens of millions, perhaps hundreds of millions the world over, detaching (or wanting to detach) from the way in which society, governments and business have become, but how can we know? How can we count them? If it can be demonstrated that there is a significant will for change, that will encourage more people to think about changing and actually doing it. Humans learn by copying.
So I think we need a club, a badge, a banner, a name, to show that there are people who want a peaceful, empathic alternative. To bring together all the existing individuals and organisations who are working in that direction. We need to be able to shout "I am a part of this!"
Mandy Fisher
Aug 22 2013: In reply to Colleen (why only three deep threads?)
I think that TED is a part of the club. It is a forum for the ideas and debates that provide the inspiration, but does not provide the actions that form the perspiration. Incidentally, it is the best forum I have found that does this. But, there are people who are part of the movement that have never, and probably will never have heard of or have access to TED.
The Aids worker in central Africa
The soup kitchen worker in India
The teenage programmer in their room coding a patch for Linux
The gardener in Rumania who leaves spare apples from their tree at the gate for passers-by to take.
There doesn't seem to be a way to use TED to initiate or coordinate real world actions and projects. Another potential thread, but has anyone got any ideas on how a real world project could be initiated from within TED and what might be a suitable project to start with to trial this?
Aug 22 2013: I agree Nigel, that there are people who live in a way that is beneficial to the whole, and may not have access to TED, or other obvious ways to connect with other people. There have always been some folks who contribute to the whole, and may never be recognized as a valuable contributor.
I believe actions which create change are happening on many different levels, and TED provides the opportunity for many people to connect. I have seen several talks and conversations on TED where people from different parts of our world are connecting with various projects.
One very simply little example is that I know several teachers in different parts of the US, who use John Hunter's talk and "World Peace Game" as a model in their classrooms. I have forwarded talks and conversations to teachers and other professionals who use many of the ideas posted on TED in their educational programs, and I have received links to TED talks from friends as well. In fact, that is how I was connected to TED originally. So, as I said, I think connections are happening on several different levels.
Aug 22 2013: The best examples of the use of TED to coordinate people around a single project are the TED prize winners. The most recent is Sugata Mitra's School in the Cloud, which has become the focus of a collaboration involving large numbers of TED attendees and other members of the TED Community. He showed the success of the prototype and people all over the world are launching variations of it and sending him their performance data.
In terms of center-points of activities on the ground that bring together people into a sort of nexus of communication, evaluation, and scale up, one of the ones I follow is the Poverty Action Lab, launched about a decade ago at MIT but housed in multiple venues since then.
I don't know whether you know Open IDEO. That is an open forum in which people craft solutions together to a series of problems put forward by organizations that want to crowd-source help. IDEO has policy advisors on hand to assist by raising questions and suggesting areas for further development and elaboration.
Aug 23 2013: Here is another convergence opportunity not to miss: http://www.ted.com/pages/prizewinner_bono
I thought of this when I got my alert today of three ONE meetups in my vicinity. in the next few weeks.
Aug 22 2013: Colleen and Fritzie,
I think I was thinking more in the way of TED not having the sort of collaborative, wikki-type tools that a lot of open source software (and increasingly hardware) projects have to help groups to self-organise projects in the non-virtual world. Hence the feeling that the "club" needed a number of arms, of which TED could be a part. Collaborative tools and methods would be another part and how to make them available are one of the topics I am interested in studying further.
There are so many crowd/open source forums out there, but it's a question of not seeing the overall contextual wood for the trees that I hope we can address, and show that they are all moving towards similar goals for society. It would be great to bring them all under a uniform banner. This common identification would provide motivation for those already involved, inspiration for those who aren't, and allow each group to share their successful methods whilst learning what doesn't work. Perhaps the club, as well as being a forum, should provide a directory or wikki of shared resources for all of these disparate individuals and organisations. A reason why IDEO could be identified as part of the club, perhaps?
I am extremely grateful for your feedback on Cynapse. I'm drafting a reply, but with the apparent time zone difference between us you must feel like you are conversing with someone on Mars :-)
Aug 22 2013: Actually, the sort of exchanges in which I participate don't require fast responses. It is a strength of the platform for some of us who cannot commit to being present at any particular time and a weakness, I expect, for others that exchanges are not more "real time."
You don't need to reply to my impressions of Cynapse. I only gave feedback for you to consider. I represent one type of potential participant in "change projects," with lots of personal energy and my own criteria for where I focus the resources I can bring to things. But I don't think I am unique in my criteria.
Do look at OpenIDEO as one model of collaborative tool.
I see from your blog you have noticed Yochai Benkler. Clay Shirky is another whose work you might considered and who also appears in TED talks under the topic "collaboration." I particularly recommend his book Here Comes Everybody and for Yochai Benkler his article Coase's Penguin.
Nigel BamberAug 22 2013: Fritzie, I was extremely grateful for you taking the time to review Cynapse. I must say that I hadn't appreciated that my mentioning of WikiLeaks and Occupy gave the impression that Cynapse agreed with their confrontational methods. I had intended that referring to them gave an example the level of dissatisfaction with the status quo felt by a wide range of people. I can see that, in the light of recent events, there may be a real fear amongst people if they think that their online activities are monitored and they appear to be associated with "subversive" activities. I wonder how the fear of online surveillance will shape future political debate. I wonder how free the free actually feel. The whole concept of Cynapse is not to engage with the old guard, but to connect with the new. I'll see if I can reword the introduction to clarify this. This is why I needed new eyes to look at it :-).
Personally, I felt that the detailed investigation of how open source economics resembled anarcho-communism, would be a big turn off fo some people. Mainly because the words "anarchy" and "communism" carry with them a lot of cultural baggage and associations which bear no relation to their literal meanings.
I also struggled to look for a mechanism for cooperation between believers of different religions, and non-believers.
I have read Benkler and Shirky. In fact, such a large number of the original sources and authors that I looked at had done TED talks, that I started to think that using these jewel-like precis would be a good way to get across what I was learning quickly. If you think there is a chance that people are not listening, it is usually accepted that less detail is more.
I was hoping that Cynapse would provide a meeting place for people to help to assemble reference material across this massive front of subjects.e.g.
Political Philosophy
Organisational Theory
Ethics and Empathy
Religous Philosophy
Intellectual Property..
..the list goes on
Aug 22 2013: You are right, of course, that words carry cultural baggage. My reference to Occupy and wikileaks was not a matter of people worrying about being associated with "subversive" activities but only that there may be a natural incompatibility among some problem solving approaches- indeed a possible aversion. You touch on this, potentially, in your referring to the "old guard." I cannot know who you mean to exclude by that label. Is it age that marks the person? Or another qualification? You read Clay Shirky and Yochai Benkler, so you would not seem personally to have an aversion to scholars, but many people drawn to a change-focused organization may believe all scholars are "bought," or that all of some other category are "bought."
I give this only as an example. Some people feel the same about lawyers, teachers, people who run businesses... Are these rejected?
I must say the language of the "club" itself does not appeal to me personally, as it reflects on first look that too common in-group and out-group sort of thinking, as your old guard and new guard distinction also may. I would hope that is exactly the sort of labeling or sorting that should be shown the exit, as it is often unproductive- or worse.
I don't believe many people feel that they are the only ones dissatisfied with various aspects of the status quo. Calling for change has become the norm!
Generally speaking, and I do not know how old you are, most of us who have worked a long time cooperate day in and day out and elbow to elbow with believers of a variety of faiths as well as non-believers. Fundamental values are widely held in common, and I can easily say in my career I can never remember differences in religious belief as an obstruction to collaboration in solving or working to solve, say, urban problems.
To put forward a specific example, I would not expect the productivity of the many heads coming together at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to be affected by the religions of the staff
Nigel BamberAug 24 2013: Fritzie, I was not implying that people with different religeous beliefs could not cooperate. I was trying to find a form of words to persuade people who think that their form of belief does prevent cooperation. We appear both to be very lucky. I work in a very multi-faith and multi-racial environment. On my desk alone we have at least 4 different belief systems. This is not true everywhere and just a few miles from my home there are still marks on a wall caused by a bomb, planted by people who felt their faith prevented any form of cooperation with others.
As for age, I am old enough to have been both the first person to hold a newborn child and the last person to hold a dying old person. I am young enough to still think that building sand castles is still a great way to spend your time on a beach :-).
You provide many examples of the ways in which change is being carried out. You appear reluctant to have these linked as the "club" as this would be divisive, Let me try another way to explain why the club would be a positive move. This is probably going to smash completely through the 2000 character limit, but I hope it helps. I do realise that the more I write, the less likely people are to read it. I wonder to what extent the shape of a TED conversation shapes the conversation, but that is another thread. I'll contine this at the head of the conversation.
Aug 24 2013: I am glad you recognize that in most cases of collaborate work, people's religions or lack thereof are entirely irrelevant.
I think that people on TED will still read a sequence of two clearly written posts but less so once a person strings more than that together, as it may sometimes then seem like a soapbox situation.
My reluctance about a "club" is that I think we are all in this life together and that considering life that way is a step forward.. I would not choose to reach out my hand preferentially to those who join a club over those who do not. I know that within-club is a familiar model of social interaction. As you write, some people will choose to be in a club, however it is defined, some will choose an isolated stance, and some will continue to try to embrace the whole in their interactions.
Aug 25 2013: I have read your string of comments Nigel, and it feels clear that you would like one large group working toward a mission.
As you say..."This common identification would provide motivation... It would be great to bring them all under a uniform banner. This common identification would provide motivation... So I think we need a club, a badge, a banner, a name, to show that there are people who want a peaceful, empathic alternative. To bring together all the existing individuals and organisations who are working in that direction. We need to be able to shout "I am a part of this!"
I feel that I can shout "I am a part of this" whenever I feel like shouting it, and I agree with what Fritzie has written...including, and not limited to...."we are all in this life together". Some people will recognize that, and some people will not. I believe that TED is already serving to organize people and providing the forum for sharing ideas.
Sometimes, when an organization gets too big, it becomes ineffective. Consider the UN, which was formed as a global peacekeeping organization? The organization is obviously ineffective, and in some respects corrupt. Consider the American Cancer fund, Heart fund and Red Cross....all have a very good purpose, and it has been found that money donated to the good cause goes mostly to administrators, and in some cases has been misused.
Your goal/mission is a noble cause, and it seems to be already happening, even without a club name, badge or banner to identify it:>)
Nadav Tropp 30+Aug 21 2013: I wouldn't say that, precisely.
There are times where replacing a government most definitely led to improvements. Then again, those are the exceptions that prove the rule...
What I'm saying is that you should think carefully before trying to topple a government by violence.
Positive change may or may not be possible, and assessing how realistic it is to implement is precisely the difference between a calculated decision to remove the existing power structure, and as you've put it, a temper tantrum that does more harm than good.
Of course, in a proper democratic regime, I'd go as far as saying that a violent revolution has a snowball's chance in hell of improving things. Fortunately, those are easier to modify without resorting to violence in the streets.
Nigel BamberAug 21 2013: Hi Mandy,
I'm trying! www.cynapse1000.weebly.com :-)

Lack of controls over electronic health records make them susceptible to fraud, the Department of Health and Human Services' inspector general has found.
Nearly all hospitals with electronic health records (EHRs) — which are used to replace traditional paper medical records with computer documents — do have the recommended technologies for safe keeping. But, the IG found that they may not be using all of them to their full extent.
According to the IG, the annual cost of health care fraud is between $75 and $250 billion.
Some currently EHR features can result in "poor data quality or fraud," the report found." The "copy-paste" feature was pinpointed as a top area of concern.
Overdocumentation, or adding "false or irrelevant documentation" to make it seem there is backing for billing for "higher level services" was also called out by the IG. In some instances, spaces were autofilled by unnecessary information.
The IG's office sent out a questionnaire to 864 hospitals that received Medicare incentive payments as of March 2012, as well as having onsite interviews with hospital staff; also interviewed were vendors of EHR technology.
None of the hospitals visited by the IG's office were found to analyze their logs of patient data to prevent or detect fraud.
The recommendations given were concurred upon by HHS.

Christina Ricci knows a thing or two about rocking the perfectly pale lookbut at the Givenchy celebration at MoMA she added a little something extra. "I wanted Christina's makeup to exude edgy classic noir," said NARS makeup artist Francelle, who created the look. She prepped the actress's skin with a smoothing primer and topped with a wash of sheer matte foundation. However, Francelle didn't reach for an alabaster shade: The formula she chose was balanced with pink and yellow undertones for a nuanced glow.

To serve and protect, an oath every officer takes before putting on a badge.
Sometimes that means protecting someone from themself.
Wednesday night that's exactly what police were called to do. A motorist called 9-1-1 after they spotted a man hanging from the Liberty Road bridge above 581 in Roanoke.
Police say he attempted to commit suicide by jumping off into oncoming traffic.
Twelve police officers from the Roanoke City Police responded to the scene. They were able to talk the man out of jumping in only thirty minutes.
Sgt. Kenneth Garrett with the Roanoke City Police Department says that Wednesday nights incident is something they have trained for.
"You get to where the person is coming from, where they need help and try to talk them into a place where they can get that help," Garrett said. "You use firm compassion to convince them that they are trying to take a permanent solution to a temporary problem and try to get them off of that ledge so to speak."
Basic officer training includes some crisis intervention, but police officers from Roanoke have continued in-depth training in order to be better familiar with these types of situations.
Training the men put to good use, and continues to prove successful.
The fate of a teenager is still unclear a day after he was stunned by a police Taser. In the meantime, questions are mounting over why it happened.

Kips Bay Show House 2012
Color Therapy
The 40th Annual Kips Bay Show House recently opened in New York, which allows us the opportunity to take a peek at what A-list designers are up to and perhaps spot a few trends.
Whereas Kips usually secures a townhouse on the Upper East Side for the event, this year there was no townhouse for the taking and a bright new condo was used instead. This forced an element of contemporary architecture into the mix.
Trendsetters will notice a few fads that persist and inspire — lacquered walls, wallpapered ceilings, pattern on pattern and bespoke textured walls. But the purposes of color analysis, one thing stood out for me: green.
And I mean all manner of green. Chartreuse, Spring Pea, Moss, Green Slate and Emerald were all used either as stand-alone elements or in combination with other colors like Aubergine or Coral. I don't remember any of this from my color forecasting of last winter, so perhaps I'm behind the curve, though I'm delighted with the range in tone and mood it creates.

I must be getting old because this all looks dated. Why is a Burt Bacharch soundtrack playing in my head?
I've only ever seen show houses in photography, so probably I have a skewed impression, but it seems to me that the various participating designers ALL want to go for bold and dramatic statements they hope will be memorable. Whereas in my real life, at least, I could deal with maybe one standout space in my home, after which I'd want to see restful, understated spaces. So it would be pleasant if SOME show house rooms were peaceful and uncluttered.
Love #7!
it's Todd Alexander Romano... and i heart him. he's a peach.
ugly. plastic. poorly thought out. looks like the hgtc design shows have finally become the inspiration instead of the other way around.
hgtv. not hgtc.
Love the first room. Meh, for the rest. Maybe it's the lighting.
It feels to me like designers are going "So, mid-century was the most recent big resurgence, right? Well, that's been going on for a few years now, how about we move on up to the late '60s and '70s!" Not to say that there weren't good design elements to come out of those years (because my grandma's house tells me there were), but what I'm reading in these images that strikes me as from that period are definitely not the highlights.
However, I do love green and will defend its use and possible over-use in decor to the end of my days - my plain-jane Ikea coffee table's about to be the same color as the wall in image 5 after all.

A Facebook page that featured photos taken of University of Arizona students abusing alcohol had been taken off the Internet after the university complained.
The anonymously run page showed photos of students passed out or vomiting. It had nearly 2,500 followers before it went offline Wednesday.
University officials considered the page a potential safety threat because students who seemed in need of help were being mocked instead.
The Arizona Daily Star reports that Facebook spokesman Matt Steinfeld said the site violated Facebook's standards.
Those standards don't allow pages that promote or encourage self-harm or that publish the personal information of others without their consent. The standards also require page creators to use their real names and identities.

Using its trapping, shot-challenging 2-3 zone defense to perfect effect, No. 4-seeded Syracuse shut down No. 3 Marquette 55-39 in the East Regional final Saturday, reaching the Final Four for the first time in a decade.
Coach Jim Boeheim and the Orange (30-9) haven't been to the national semifinals since a freshman named Carmelo Anthony led them to the 2003 championship.
Fittingly, a matchup between schools from the soon-to-break-apart, rough-and-tumble Big East became quite a struggle to score. Syracuse was led by senior forward James Southerland's 16 points.
Marquette (26-9) hadn't scored fewer than 47 points this season. But with Syracuse playing Boeheim's beloved zone throughout, Marquette kept turning the ball over, seeing its shots blocked or just plain missing.

Recently, a group of more than a dozen superintendents and school officials from around the 5th District had the opportunity to sit down with U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan to talk about the challenges and opportunities in our education system. I convened this roundtable to give school districts the opportunity to communicate directly with the Secretary about what's working and what's not in Virginia schools.
Behind 112 Donegal Lane, and viewed from Leatherwood Place, the 150 year old Jopling graveyard has been used as a dump by vandals. Surrounded by modern houses with well-kept yards, who would do such a thing?
There are times that call for standing your ground, no matter what, when you are right. There are other times when graciously backing off is the better choice.
The reasoning behind Dr. William McIntosh's decision to include a bust of Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin at the National D-Day Memorial is correct. Dr. McIntosh sees all these sculptures as teaching tools and Stalin has an important lesson to teach us.
In the biggest win by a Liberty football team in three years, the Minutemen roughed up last year's State finalist, 35-20.

A plan to place a bust of Joseph Stalin at the National D-Day Memorial is sparking local controversy.
"It's not putting up a sculpture in honor of Stalin," said Dr. William McIntosh, the National D-Day Memorial Foundation's director.
McIntosh pointed out that he realizes that Stalin was a monster. He said that Stalin had killed 20 million of his own citizens by 1939.
Bedford's Farm Bureau featured two youthful speakers at its annual dinner meeting last week.
Joy Powers, of Staunton River High School's (SRHS) Future Farmers of America (FFA) chapter, said that agriculture has a future in Bedford County. She pointed to the two FFA chapters, one at SRHS and the other at Liberty High School, along with 4H clubs as an example. She would like to see more and suggested adding agricultural education classes in middle schools and an FFA chapter at Jefferson Forest High School.
After six months to transition and some 120 meetings, Dr. Douglas Schuch is settling in to his new job as superintendent of Bedford County Public Schools.
And he is also getting a better feel for what needs to be done in the future.
At last Thursday's School Board meeting, Dr. Schuch presented a report on the transition process and what he sees for the future of the school system under his direction.

Cozad New Venture Competition
Congratulations to this year's winning teams:
RITHMIO (University funded) and LUMENOUS (non-University funded)!
General Information
Want to start a company? Have an idea for a startup? Cozad can help with funding, mentoring and taking your ideas to the next level.
The Cozad New Venture Competition (CNVC) is designed to encourage students to create new sustainable businesses. Teams are invited to create a venture around a topic of their choice.
The competition process offers teams assistance in the form of: mentors to help guide them through the phases of venture creation, workshops to help with idea validation, pitching skills, customer development, and more as well as and courses to enhance their skills and knowledge.
Teams who make it to the final rounds of competition will have the opportunity to meet with venture capitalists, early stage investors and successful entrepreneurs who will serve as judges for the finals round. The judges will determine up to 8 finalist teams that will present their ventures at the finals event. These teams will compete for nearly $200,000 in funding and in-kind prizes.
The co-founding team must consist of at least 30% University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign students and the overall team should be at least 50% students (from any institution). Non-students may be members of the co-founding team and participate in planning the venture, but only Illinois students may present the plan and answer questions from the judges in all rounds. There is no limit to the number of teams that can enter the CNVC. Students can serve on multiple teams.
New this year!
We have made some exciting changes to the competition this year:
- Students can compete in two different tracks: teams commercializing their own ideas OR teams commercializing University-funded research.
- We are partnering with the College of Business to include workshops on finances, marketing, customer development and more.
- We will be offering more mentoring (from alumni and community) for teams throughout the competition.
Check out last year's winners.

About V. Dale Cozad
Born on a farm in Illinois, Dale Cozad earned a degree in Agricultural Economics from Southern Illinois University, and promptly embarked on a career in insurance. Although very successful, his growing interest in diversified financial services led him to found Cozad Asset Management in 1972. Today, the company is a registered investment advisor with over $350 million in assets under management.
Dale Cozad was also one of the entrepreneurs who founded Cozad Westchester Agricultural Asset Management, which to date has received $390 million in commitments from institutional agricultural investors.
In recognition of Dale's great success, and of his long friendship with Peter Fox, Peter and his wife Kim have, through a generous endowment, established both the V. Dale Cozad Lecture Series in Entrepreneurship through the College of Commerce, and the Cozad New Venture Competition through the Technology Entrepreneur Center in the College of Engineering. These gifts, enhanced by family and friends of Dale Cozad, honor his memory, his hard work, dedication and entrepreneurial spirit.
Speaking of his father, Greg Cozad, now the president of Cozad Asset Management, recalls that "he was always an entrepreneur at heart, always looking for new financial services that would allow him to serve his clientele better. He was very competitive by nature and loved to encourage and assist young people in their career goals. The Lecture Series in Entrepreneurship and the Business Plan Competition are therefore fitting memorials to my dad, and an outstanding tribute to his legacy. They combine his business interest with his commitment to the University of Illinois."
Dale Cozad was a valued member of the Commerce Business Advisory Council from 1981 until his untimely death in 1993.

Numerical Characterization of Surface Structures of Slippery Zone in Nepenthes Alata Pitchers and its Mechanism of Reducing Locust's Attachment
The slippery zone of inner pitchers in carnivorous plant Nepenthes alata bears highly specialized structures to serve the functions of trapping insects and restricting escape of preys. Since the surface structures of slippery zone may influence locust's attachment, surface micromorphologies of the slippery zone were observed with scanning electron microscope (SEM) and scanning white-light interferometer (SWLI) to investigate the micromorphologies and geometrical dimensions of the surface structures. Attachment force of locust (Locusta migratoria manilensis) on the slippery zone was measured with different slanting angles, as well as measured on stainless steel plate for the purpose of comparison. The influence of slippery zone on locust attachment were analyzed based on the viewpoints of micromorphologies and geometrical dimensions of the surface structures. The slippery zone of N. alata pitchers possesses lunate cells and wax crystals with micro-nano dimensions. Measurement results presented that the attachment force of locust on slippery zones is apparently lower than that on stainless steel plates with all the corresponding slanting angles. The surface structures with appropriate geometrical dimensions and physical properties resulted in the significant decrease of attachment force by means of prohibiting locust generating effective mechanical interlock and adhesive attachment. This research probably provides a theoretical foundation for biomimeticing microstructures and function of slippery zone surface to design slippery plates for trapping disaster plague locust and other agricultural pest.

DETROIT (WKZO) -- The Bloomfield Hills-based largest home builder in the U.S. is helping Detroit demolish unwanted vacant structures.
Bill Pulte, who is the grandson of PulteGroup founder William Pulte, is leading a Detroit Blight Authority that has already taken down most of a ten-block area near Eastern Market. Pulte says he wanted to get involved after reading the story of a girl scared about her daily walk to school.
The newly formed agency is concentrating on raising funds and will be able to remove blighted buildings at half the cost of the city alone.

As one of Capitol Hill's most popular learning events, a pop-up salon featuring complimentary haircuts and mini-manicures is created and staffed by more than 100 professional volunteers. More than 500 members of Congress and their staffs came and learned about the professional beauty industry's key issues, including access to cosmetology education and financial aid, consumer protection, equitable taxation and small business support. Several members of Congress attended the event, including Rep. Patrick Meehan (R-PA), Rep. Charlie Dent (R-PA), Rep. Peter Welch (D-VT), Rep. Dina Titus (D-NV), and Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA).
"Our members literally 'touch' more than half of the U.S. voters at least once every year. No other industry has such an extended reach. We will continue to reach out to Congress throughout the year about our key issues, including equitable taxation, access to cosmetology education, consumer protection, fairness in financial aid for our students and small business support," said Eric Schwartz, COO of OPI Products and President of the Professional Beauty Federation.
The professional beauty industry is an exciting and growing part of the U.S. economy. Industry professionals have a range of professional opportunities, including working as a stylist, owning a salon, and manufacturing their own product lines. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there are 1,069,310 salon establishments in the U.S. Salon service revenues equal $75.38 billion dollars. A majority of U.S. salon industry businesses are owned by women; 54 percent of employment-based salons and spas, which is three times higher than women's business ownership rate (18 percent) for the economy as a whole.

Cinema of the World
Steel-town America is brought to life in this powerful drama by Scott Cooper (CRAZY HEART). Russell Baze (Christian Bale) has a rough life: he works a dead-end blue-collar job at the local steel mill by day, and cares for his terminally ill father by night. When Russell's brother, Rodney (Casey Affleck), returns home from serving time in Iraq, he gets lured into one of the most ruthless crime rings in the north-east and mysteriously disappears. The police fail to crack the case, so – with nothing left to lose – Russell takes matters into his own hands, putting his life on the line to seek justice for his brother.

Stantec Inc. Stock Upgraded (STN)
- ACTIVE STOCK TRADERS: Check out TheStreet's special offer for Real Money, headlined by Jim Cramer, now!
- The revenue growth greatly exceeded the industry average of 15.8%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 15.8%. Growth in the company's revenue appears to have helped boost the earnings per share.
- The current debt-to-equity ratio, 0.44, is low and is below the industry average, implying that there has been successful management of debt levels. Along with the favorable debt-to-equity ratio, the company maintains an adequate quick ratio of 1.18, which illustrates the ability to avoid short-term cash problems.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly increased by 682.36% to $24.53 million when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, STANTEC INC has also vastly surpassed the industry average cash flow growth rate of 0.45%.
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has exceeded that of the S&P 500, but is less than that of the Professional Services industry average. The net income increased by 19.7% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, going from $25.71 million to $30.78 million.
- Investors have apparently begun to recognize positive factors similar to those we have mentioned in this report, including earnings growth. This has helped drive up the company's shares by a sharp 28.72% over the past year, a rise that has exceeded that of the S&P 500 Index. Looking ahead, the stock's sharp rise over the last year has already helped drive it to a level which is relatively expensive compared to the rest of its industry. We feel, however, that other strengths this company displays justify these higher price levels.

If the Maya are right, we all have a week to live.
Of course, the Maya are almost surely wrong, and it's scientifically dubious to believe that a clerical discrepancy by an ancient civilization would translate to a doomsday prophecy.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
But that doesn't mean we who believe in rational thought can't use this moment to weed out a few of our fellow Earthlings to whom rational thought is a foreign concept.
It's not exactly a new idea. The late, great Douglas Adams wrote about it in The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, the second in his Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy book series.
In the book, our heroes, Arthur Dent and Ford Prefect, find themselves on a ship populated by telephone sanitizers, hairdressers, marketing executives and other less-than-useful members of the planet Golgafrincham's society.
The Golgafrinchams came up with the idea of putting all of their useless population on a spaceship, telling them the planet was on the verge of destruction and that three ships would be constructed to rescue the whole population — with the thinkers and leaders on the "A Ark," the laborers and workers on the "C Ark" and the middle-management types on the "B Ark." The "B Ark" left first, never knowing that no other ships left Golgafrincham.
So maybe we could set up a similar scenario and persuade some of our not-so-bright members of society to escape Earth before the Maya's prophecy comes to pass.
We've only got a week, so we have to move fast.
The first step will be finding someone rich enough and stupid enough to bankroll the thing. I recommend Donald Trump, who showed during the recent election season an uncanny ability to swallow any idiotic conspiracy theory.
While Trump's busy building the ship, let's start making a list of the people who should get a ticket to ride.
Here's my partial list:
• The cast of "Jersey Shore."
• Honey Boo Boo, and the rest of her family to keep her company.
• The programmers of TLC who decided the world needed to meet Honey Boo Boo.
• "The Real Housewives" of wherever.
• Those Australian radio hosts who prank-called that poor nurse at the British hospital where Kate Middleton was being treated.
• Any radio "personality" who would prank-call anybody.
• Fox News "analysts" Karl Rove and Dick Morris — and, to be fair, Ed Schultz and Lawrence O'Donnell from MSNBC to keep them company.
• The next Hollywood executive who says "yes" to whatever Adam Sandler has scrawled on a cocktail napkin.
• Any Utah legislator who can't tell the difference between a bar and a restaurant.
• Movie bloggers who wrote more than 5,000 words about the new "Man of Steel" trailer.Next Page >

Nikon COOLPIX S9500 Review
Nikon Coolpix S9500 Review - Verdict
The Nikon Coolpix S9500 is available in black, red, silver (tested here) and a brown colour. Its price tag is about right looking at competitors, but for that price you'd be forgiven for expecting few more manual shooting options
However, the S9500 still provides a good balance between automated snapping, post-shoot image processing (all in camera) and the wireless sharing that make it an important step up from its sibling, the Nikon S9300.
The new lens and sensor complement each other well, providing you don't use sensitivities over ISO 800, where detail is scrubbed away by image noise processing. The focus system, the metering and the handling are okay with the usual caveats around such small camera bodies with such long focal lengths at their disposal, where camera shake can become an issue.
But looking across the otherwise superb image quality, versatility and overall performance, the S9500 makes for a cracking camera at its current price tag.

Okay. So I was really bothered by this story of this Russian woman who held the man who had attempted to rob her salon captive as a sex slave.
Now before I go on, a lot of people are saying this story is a fake. I don't care, as the story isn't actually the problem.
If this is true, what she did to him was inexcusable. Period. She beat and raped him for three days with no food. And the. "to keep the lesson going" she fed him Viagra. Then, she PAID him, fed him, and then let him go.
This, if it was a female who got raped and detained for day,would be a never ending parade of feminism and women's right. Not saying that's wrong. But….
I started looking at the story online and the comments really, really bothered me.
"I bet that man just thought it was easy to target women. He'll never do that again! EPIC WIN!!!"
"Can I get that address?"
"Why would he report himself? She's good looking, I don't feel sorry for him."
"He's stupid for reporting it. What an idiot!"
"You go girl!!!"
These, among others, really, really, bother me. This man was RAPED. Raped.
I am disgusted with you humans. Men, I promise that being raped isn't just lolsuprizesecks! If you really want to be raped for three days, against your will, begging for it to stop when the shine of lolsuprizesecks! has worn off and she refuses and you have no idea when you'll be free, or if you'll ever make it out alive from this, then you know what, go right ahead. Tell me how that works for you.
Women. Are you actually kidding me? It's not funny that a man was raped. I don't care what his actual intention was. Rape, is never deserved. This isn't funny. Women on national tv make fun of this. And it's okay. No one got mad at them for it. What is wrong here?
And I got to thinking. If this really was such a big patriarchy and oh poor poor women, why is male rape made fun of, and ALLOWED to be made fun of on national tv? If the roles were reversed, there would be lawsuits upon riots. You are not allowed to speak or even portray anything bad against women. Period. Doing so is costly. But it's okay to do it to men. It's okay to victimize men, because they have all the rights, amirite? Oh and it's okay to laugh at male rape, and male victimization because it doesn't exist and it's only women that suffer in this patriarchy.

text: DEARBORN, MI (WTVB) - Summer like weather has returned after nearly a month of more moderate temperatures than normal during the dog days of July and August. The cooler than normal pattern hasn't exactly been a burden with highs in the 70's, great sleeping weather at night, and all the savings from not having to run the air conditioner, but it has been an unusual summer. Nancy Cain at AAA Michigan says despite the below normal temperatures, it doesn't seem to have hurt tourism, and may have been an improvement on last year's blistering temperatures. She says they won't know for sure until the numbers come in sometime next month.

MrTwist says:
Wow, some of you seem to have really good deals, it might be worth putting which county you live in as this would make it quite interesting. My last field was £80 per month which I thought was really good but it was only 2 acres with 2 stables that had dirt floors one of which I used as a tack room. No water or electric and did most of the fencing and repairs myself, I was able to rest my field for 4 months in the summer as a friend let me stay with her for free. My hay cost 6.50 per bale last winter from my supplier who delivers the winter supply in one go so if you lot got your hay included at this price last year then well done, luckily it came down to 3.75 this year!. I'm in Surrey/Hants border

For DIY with hay included (supposedly 6 months a year but normally about 4 or 5) it costs me £43 a week per horse. We have a floodlit (at one end) 60x25 school, grazing and a stable for that. Nice yard, nice stables, owner on site.

*chip* says:
oof, well, the 1st place i payed for was £35 a week, all year turnout but only a small paddok for riding (wasnt a biggy as he was only 2 so we took him on walks instead) before this i got livery as part of my wage
where i am now is £20 a week has an ok arena but the surface is awful and we have to rake it after use (also new rule if we lunge HAVE to have sidereins or passoa on....sorry but im not putting my youngster in such contraptions when he cant even go round on a circle properly yet =/) n we have to buy everything else, im also renting a field atm for £10 a week as winter turnout is awful n wanted him roughing it so he could grow up a bit more.
however im thinking of moving when a friends yard is set up which is next to the field i rent, its £40 a week which includes box, haylage or hay and a bale of shavings, and soooooo much grazing its untrue, you can have 24/7 turnout al year round if you wanted, which will be fantastic, it has a huge outdoor and a small indoor lunge pen, will be ok for riding small horses in, im so excited, also has x-country jumps in the field XD n fantastic hacking
ride a gypsy vanner... it'll make your butt look smaller

I pay £130 a month for DIY so get a stable and field. We have privet woods for hacking, XC field, out door school with show jumps but you have to pay extra if you want lights on. It's nice up there, but I'm also on schooling livery with another yard at the moment too for £100 a week, so I use all the same facillities any way plus a lunge pen! Oh and I'm on the kent/surrey border :)

I will be a senior this at the beginning of the 2010-2011 academic year, and couldn't be happier with the college I chose! the classes are tough, obviously, but its so worth it. I am a chemistry major and mathematics minor, and i don't need to go to some big expensive private school to learn alot, I'm getting it done right here!
To find more tips for prospective students, what to do for fun and whether this school is great for a particular type of student read the 72 reviews for University of Wisconsin-La Crosse
Curious about something that isn't answered here? Feel free to ask University of Wisconsin-La Crosse a question

An excellent small college with fantastic educators. I can't say enough about the campus and how great of an education I am receiving here. The university is among the best in the midwest and will only continue to get better every year.Read More
