Superman finally quits his day job
Alter ego Clark Kent is leaving his newspaper gig to start his own media venture.
"This is not the first time in DC Comics history that Clark Kent has left the Planet, and this time the resignation reflects present-day issues -- the balance of journalism vs. entertainment, the role of new media, the rise of the citizen journalist, etc.," according to a statement from DC Comics, which is part of Time Warner (TWX).
Many journalists working for the New York Times (NYT) and Time Warner's Time Inc. magazine division, whose union is feuding with management, would probably like to follow in Kent's footsteps. But for every Matt Drudge (Drudge Report), Glenn Beck (the Blaze), Dan Abrams (Mediate) and Arianna Huffington (Huffington Post), there are countless other entrepreneurs who have been unable to get their sites off the ground. Raising millions of dollars from strangers is harder than it looks.
Huffington managed to sell her business last year to AOL (AOL) for $513 million, but whether that would be a viable exit strategy for Kent or any real-life entrepreneurs is unclear, given the slowdown expected this year in advertising spending. Further, there isn't exactly a huge barrier to entry in the business, which I achieved from my house with a MacBook, phone service and a broadband connection.
As a freelance writer since 2006, I can speak with some authority about the challenges that would face Kent if he were a real person. Superheroes probably don't need to worry about such mundane matters as health insurance, which is outrageously expensive for independent contractors. Kent's superpowers, though, are no match for the IRS or trial attorneys.
Indeed, Kent better make sure that he saves enough money to pay quarterly taxes, because Uncle Sam will want Kent's share and won't hesitate to garnish his wages if he doesn't pay what he owes.
Let's not forget liability insurance, as Superman has a tendency to break lots of stuff, which would make him a magnet for lawsuits.
On the bright side, Superman will be able write off business expenses, such as dry cleaning capes. There are plenty of apps he can use to track his mileage, which I imagine would be deductible even if he flies from place to place. Perhaps Superman's "Fortress of Solitude" would qualify for the home office deduction.
The story of Superman's new venture will unfold in the next few issues of the comic book. DC Comics could take the opportunity to introduce new characters to help the Man of Steel run his enterprise. Maybe Aqua Man could get his CPA license and become the CFO. Wonder Woman could be a general counsel, which would be a good use of her "lasso of truth." And then the superhero will need an accounts receivable manager to make sure that he gets paid.
The superpowers required to run a business may not be glamorous, but they are important.
Jonathan Berr does not have super powers. He does not own shares of the listed stocks. Follow him on Twitter@jdberr.
don't think he owns the mineral rights anywhere but maybe his farm in Kansas
He would have to go into the asteriod belt and find some gold there and then the process of going thru customs here on the earth and the quanritine the rock would have to go thru before they figured the asteriod was safe ... well
even Superman might die before all the red tape cleared.
better that he makes diamonds and then since he is not permitted to make diamonds no one would buy them.
I say for an undocumented illegal alien he would have a hard time making money any legal way

When you think of getting body art, typically a visit to your dentist doesn't pop into mind. Well now, there is a trend known as tooth tattooing, tooth art or grills.
The body part may be a little different, and so is the amount of pain, but the thought behind getting your teeth inked is the same idea.
No one likes to hear they may need dental work, including getting a new crown. But, for Tim Miller the idea became a little easier to swallow when he was told about all the options available.
"I thought about tattoos in the past but let's face it, everyone has a tattoo and it's no longer cool or unique. So that's why I went ahead and got the tooth," said Miller.
Miller says the dentist told them they can actually put an image on the cap and then showed him his tooth with the name of his child on it. A patient put a picture of his pug right inside his pucker.
If you can think of it, chances are the folks at Suburban Dental Laboratory in Bloomfield can make it. Owner Steven Canter said they made their first tooth tattoo almost 20 years ago.
"This is the first one I believe in 1995 from someone who was into corvettes," said Canter showing a tooth tattoo.
As for Miller, he went for something greener, a shamrock in honor of his wife's Irish heritage.
"I've gotten the 'you have lettuce in your teeth' comment or 'did you just have spinach,'" Miller said. "No, it's my shamrock."
Now you can't just decide you want a tooth tattoo. You have to legitimately need a crown. Then impressions are taken and the mold from your teeth go straight to the lab
"In order for a crown to be made it has to be fired in an oven to 212 degrees, so you will never see a tattoo on a real tooth," said Jennifer Churchill, who is a dental hygienist.
For about an extra $100, you now have tooth art.
"Over the years I've done grateful dead, a bolt, Harley Davidson emblem, initials and you saw the shamrock," said dentist Steven Landman.
Landman started doing tooth tattoos in his Ellington office ten years ago and even got his own tooth art.
"I had my daughter draw a picture of her and her two brothers, that picture there," Landman said pointing to the picture. "I gave it to the lab and the lab duplicated it."
A tooth tattoo crown does not damage your teeth and can be left in place for years, like the more traditional porcelain crowns.

As I mentioned before, there are few websites I love as much as Close Up and Private. Sergey Sviatchenko single-handedly revolutionized menswear imagery by means of his unique take on photography and composition. This time around he embarked on a collaboration with Gant Rugger to showcase their Autumn/Winter collection. The result? Brilliant as usual….
One of the most discussed topics of the season has been the power of patterns and prints and how to make the most out of them. Stepping out of one's comfort zone is always a risk and when it comes to pattern, few men are actually willing to try anything other than checks and stripes.
Leading the list of the most frightening variations are floral prints: men just can't seem to dissociate the backward thinking that flowers are for women alone. Sure, they're inherently related to a more feminine side, but as individual style continues to push boundaries which were once set in stone, the time has come to get in touch with your anima.
To help you on that difficult task, several designers have been offering all sorts of floral printed garments, but for those more reluctant to try it, Hill Side's got you covered. Is there anything safer than sporting this print in one of the manliest staples around? Their cherry-blossom ties do just that…while incorporating the ultimate floral silhouette (love them on Japanese sleeves). Also, check the pocket squares, bandanas and scarves.
Super man McNairy just can't seem to get enough of seeing his name all over the place, judging by the flow of collaborations and projects he's been involved with lately. As I see it, the only downside is not being able to afford all the items on my wishlist, along with the fact that ideas are running out on what to call him by now…
This time around he joined forces with Engineered Garment's Daiki Suzuki to bring us a batch of classic longwings with his usual dose of nastiness and wit. The twist here is that although being a pair, the left and right shoe present contrasting leather details, mainly regarding the type of leather used. They might not suit everyone out there, but then again, nor does the work of several other geniuses throughout history.

Por Vocação just released their looks for AW11, featuring items from the likes of Paul Smith, Martin Margiela, Our Legacy, Acne and Band of Outsiders, along with a healthy dose of irony as the shoot took place on a sunny beach scenario.

I really love what the guys over @ Coisas d'Homem have been doing since they first opened their store in 2009. Their devotion to menswear accessories has placed them high up on the list of Porto's men's stores, becoming the place to go for original, one of a kind add-ons. If you've been following me for a while, you'll most likely have seen some of their pieces, as most of my bowties were purchased there:
I've been wanting to work with them for a while now, and I'm proud to announce that the results of our first collaboration are almost ready for the debut! Carrying on our mutual passion for bowties this exclusive line will feature 4 styles in different fabrics, all in their successfully functional pre-tied version, for added comfort and instant flamboyance. Although the fabric used in each style is the same, each bow is unique as different cuts of the fabric are used, resulting in singular patterns and textures.
Keep an eye out as the styles will soon be available for purchase here at the blog!!
Every now and then we're faced with a few hard to explain, yet interesting phenomena. The widespread adaptation of items or objects originally design for different purposes is well known to us all. During last week's road trip I got a chance to experience first hand one such case.
As I laid back on the beach struggling to perfectly capture my friends from Driftwood Collective on camera, I couldn't help but notice the pervaded use by the surfing community, of one of the most unexpected items to date: the Ikea Shopper. Yes, I'm referring to the one you may purchase for €0.50 coming out of any venue of this Swedish giant.
Although at first the vision of groups of sunburnt surfers carrying their boards under one arm and indigo plastic bags under the other may seem utterly ridiculous, the truth is that within the relaxed, beachy background, they blend in amazingly well. Actually, it would make one hell of a beachwear editorial (IKEA, if you're reading this don't forget to credit me later on). If you come to think of it, the choice makes
almost perfect sense: cheap, resistant, durable, waterproof and lightweight, you can throw anything in it and it won't let you down. Furthermore, seeing how much love blue's been getting this year (Pitti anyone?), they're pulling it off with quite a bit of fashion panache.
My take on style and simplicity was featured in this week's Links à La Mode, from the IFB website. Here's the list…
Whether we realize it or not, we are all influenced by something, whether it be celebrities, trends or designs of the past. This week's links a la mode celebrates influencers and the voices we create from our inspiration. As fashion bloggers, we have each other to look for when we are feeling uninspired and this community is something we should never take for granted!

I've recently picked up the latest issue of Monocle and I've got to say: it's packed with goodies. Among them, one that definitely caught my eye was this summer fashion editorial shot in good old students' party haven - Benidorm. Besides the unquestionable styling, the most striking feature has to be the perfect match between look and background, resulting in a seamless blend of color and even pattern. Just goes to show how much an important role the surrounding environment plays on a photo. Truly inspiring….

The twin brothers' SS12 collection has gone live and it's igniting the blogsphere like a wildfire. Here's a selection of my favourite looks but head over to Sartorially Inclined for the full spread. Also, be sure to check their online store as sale is now officially up.
When you're passionate about a subject, an overwhelming urge to know every little thing about it is likely to take over you. Although such a level of knowledge is ultimately unachievable, the search often proves valuable and fulfilling. I try to make the most of my virtually non-existent free time, reading and researching several menswear related topics; one of the things I often come across are new, emerging labels.
It's always exciting to see the kind of fresh, original interpretations new labels have on fashion, even if I tend to stay loyal to the ones I have a special connection to. However, every now and then, I have to let my guard down and surrender to the offerings of some of the brands out there. One such case is Hixsept.
Created by French duo Aurélien Arbet and Jérémie Egry, the brand reflects their rich background in arts and design, by combining elements of re-interpreted minimalism with color blocking and interesting use of fabric combinations. Although they've been around for a while now, their latest collections really put them on the radar, earning them much deserved recognition from media and peers alike. Aiming at reinventing themselves in each collection, they consistently present colorful, vibrant and refreshing items every season, combining great fit and craftsmanship with an affordable price tag. Moreover, they might just produce the best lookbooks out there…
For providing a unique approach to menswear, Hixsept receives Beyond Fabric's Stamp of Approval.

Great news! Just made it to this week's Links à La Mode from the IFB website.
Style is what you make it. We are all different and beautiful in our own ways. Many of us have different techniques to display how we want to present ourselves. Some people are very "structured" "prim and proper" and live by a color scheme while others go wild with mixing patterns and have the "unpolished" and "don't care" look. It's all about where you get your inspiration from and your personality in general.

In a time when men are becoming more and more conscious of their image and making an added effort to look their best, the allure of adding unexpected elements to an attire may be hard to resist. Add to that the continuous flow of menswear accessories entering the market and their growing social acceptance, and you end up with a volatile recipe for excess.
As much as I appreciate sprezzy, intricate outfits, comprised of several layers and properly accessorized, the line which separates elegance from tackyness is a thin one… Even though there are several ways in which an outfit can go overboard, either due to color/pattern combinations or design itself, my greatest grudge concerns over accessorizing. We're currently experiencing a period of dandyism and gentlemanliness revival, with many embellishments of "old" making their debut to younger generations: lapel and collar pins, bowties, tie bars, neck scarves, pockets squares and even hats may have an acquaintance with older men, but are a whole new universe for their younger counterparts.
As I see it, it's this exciting feeling of discovery that leads many men to get carried away, but mind you: the fact that a wide paraphernalia of accessories is at your disposal, doesn't necessarily mean you have to wear them all at once. In the search for a style differential, men often forget the powerful appeal of simplicity and the ancient premise that "less is more". One man that definitely embodies this concept is Milan Vukmirovic. Usually spotted in outstanding minimalistic looks, often focused on one core piece, Trussardi's former creative director is always looking his best. He's living proof that style isn't always about a myriad of elements, and if questions about his impeccable taste remain just take a look at some of his looks.
His use of color is superb: both monochromatic and contrasting versions.
This time around, inspired by the days off I'm currently enjoying, I've decided to put together a more beachy look. When it comes to warm weather attire, shorts are one of the most controversial items: "purists" discard them on behalf of lightweight linen or tropical wool trousers, whereas many consider them a Summer essential. I for one, believe shorts are a great alternative when the temperature rises, given that you pay as much attention to fit as you
should would with any other item.
These creased military green cotton cargo shorts by Ovadia & Sons are some of the best out there: fitted, breathable and overall stunning. Pair them with a slim fitting polo shirt, the perfect alternative to take a rest from shirts but still present a more polished look than with a simple tee. To face those late chilly afternoons and add a splash of color to the mix, it doesn't get much better than this orange cotton v-neck sweater by Purificacion Garcia. Ditch the flip flops for a pair of canvas espadrilles, put your Clubmasters on and don't forget to pack your towel and sunscreen in your canvas tote.
Polo Ralph Lauren Slim Fit Pique Polo - € 80.00 @ Mr. Porter
Jordan Cargo Shorts - (approx.) € 110.00 @ Ovadia & Sons
V-neck cotton sweater - € 32.00 @ Purificacion Garcia
Navy Boat Espadrilles - € 25.64 @ Asos
Striped Shopper - € 19.95 @ Zara
Ray Ban Clubmaster - (approx.) € 103.00 @ Ray Ban
Getting ready for a short road trip through the Southwestern coast of Portugal. I'm off to meet by brother and a couple of friends for a relaxing week near the seaside: just basking in the sun, surfing and all Summer related goodies.
Don't worry: I've got the upcoming set of posts covered so you guys won't even know I'm missing =) In case you've never been to Portugal, here's a small sample of what to expect…See you all in a while!
There's no denying that our mood is strongly influenced by the weather, be it in a positive or negative manner. Usually, when waking up to a sun-shiny day, you brighten up, put a smile on your face and feel an urge to dress accordingly: no wonder color makes an appearance this time of the year…
This look is all about celebrating those days through color and bold pieces. The thing I love the most about it, besides the color scheme and refined, yet relaxed feel, is the fact that it blends several statement items in a balanced, sophisticated outcome. When going for louder items such as this multicolored stripe shirt, I usually advise caution and toning the rest of the outfit down a notch; however, if you're willing to risk it, adding yet another strong piece to the mix may elevate a look to the next level.
Although the idea of mixing stripes and polka dots may seem daunting at first, the matching tones and differentiated scale of the patterns work perfectly together. To smooth things down, a two button navy unstructured sportscoat with a twist: the peak lapel, adding an Italian vibe. Light, fitted and presenting brilliant details such as the satin applications on the flap pockets, this has definitely become one of my favourites. Rolled up white jeans and suede espadrilles further emphasize the summery, relaxed feel.
Two button unstructured navy cotton/silk peak lapel sportscoat by Adam Kimmel (S - tailored), multicolored dress shirt by Paul Smith (M), white slim fit jeans by Massimo Dutti (31x32), suede espadrilles by n.d.c., polka dot silk tie by Vicri, glasses by Prada.
If you're a Tumblr habitué and enjoy cruising the endless pages of menswear content, you've most likely come across Lander Urquijo's outstandingly styled mannequins. Presenting a distinct aesthetic, with strong roots in Spanish heritage and occasionally hinting at Italian, this Madrid based store has been causing quite a stir as of recently.
Their innovative approach to the masses, and specifically the target audience, has not only placed them on the radar of every menswear enthusiast, but is also setting a standard for stores across the globe. Instead of focusing solely on the core business of selling garments by means of an online store per se, they do so in a more personal way through their blog, providing customers and bloggers alike with their unique take on the universe that surrounds them. As such, they encourage you to develop a special connection to the brand and those behind it, being enticed to return to the blog on a daily basis; should a specific item grab your attention you need only contact them for purchase.
Although they carry such renowned brands as Barbour by To Ki To or Drakes, their in-house label is where the gold lies. Besides ready-to-wear options in the most varied, bold and often hard to find fabrics, they also offer two alternative bespoke suiting services: one sewn by machine and the other entirely handcrafted. Needless to say, a refined level of tailoring excellence is assured in every garment. It was this ever going quest for perfectionism and attention to detail, that recently earned them the prestigious "Dedal de Oro" award.

This blogging thing…it's been around a while now, and many are realizing what a rewarding endeavor it is, on a sartorial and psychological level. One thing I love about blogging is the opportunity to ask a question, ponder a theory—and have others share their thoughts and opinions as well. In this week's roundup, several bloggers reflect on the positive influence blogging has had on their lives and self-esteem. (Superb! Yay for blogging!) Others ruminated on everything from whether style is really subjective, to whether fashion as an exhibit is a trend. Or not.
Stumped for post ideas? Want more engagement with your readers? Been contemplating the style-related proclivities of society? Ask, lovelies. Everyone has an opinion, and most are chomping at the bit to share. But the most wonderful aspect of this kind of engagement is not more comments. Those are nice, yes. It's through discussion that personalities are revealed and relationships are forged. Your readers aren't just a little avatar and some words. They are vibrant individuals—and your biggest fans!

As Europeans take a deep breath from fashion weeks and such, the steady flow of photos depicting exquisite figurines in an assortment of attires and situations continues to flood the Internet. Although one can easily gaze at these inspiring pics for hours, absorbing each tiny and intricate detail, a certain critical thinking and self assurance, in a way, is advised. It's one thing to draw inspiration; it's quite another to blindly follow or praise everything portrayed there, or anywhere else for that matter.
Take a long, scrutinous look at the batches of photos from Firenze, Milan or Paris…notice a pattern there? The opinion is unanimous: comments regarding "cloned" looks are all over the net. I believe there's a better word for it - redundancy. And redundant is the last thing you want to be… Be it Prada wingtips, Cucinelli cargos or Givenchy rotweiller sweaters by the dozen, there seemed to be an overall lack of personality and individuality.
Obviously, this isn't to say that those are not valid choices for many men and women who actually resonate with the brand and compose their style canvas in a unique way, but I can't ignore the feeling that many others simply wear them so as to be on trend and achieve a sense of belonging. I'm not supporting the utopia of individual style, I'm not as naive or hypocritical, especially since I'm also influenced by a variety sources, hell we all are, it's our human nature as social beings. However, as humans, we also have deep, complex personalities to whom we must stay true to…Draw inspiration, keep up with the latest trends, but do so while staying true to yourself.
On this note, kudos to all who stood out amidst the crowd in their own way.
Although we're experiencing a time of transition, when stores are beginning to stock up on Autumn/Winter collections, it feels nice to bear in mind that Summer is yet to reach its peak and that most stores are currently offering exceptional bargains on SS items. While browsing through the countless pieces on sale, it seemed appropriate to share some of my favourites…

This week I'm fresh out of love and rainbows, so there will be no kumbaya intro. Doesn't mean I don't love y'all, but I have got to tell you that lately, I'm a wee bit peeved by the fame-whoring and big-noting going on in the fashion blogosphere (and Twitterverse). Who of us doesn't want brand endorsements and blogging fame? We're all stars in our own right, and there is nothing wrong with ambition. But no one likes a self-absorbed, one-sided braggart. And no one likes an ass-kisser. Period.
Have you given props to someone other than yourself lately? Is every status update about hyping you? Is everything in your life now about the blog? As Emily of Ruby Slipper Journeys wonders in her post, are you capturing reality on your blog or manufacturing it? If any of this sounds like you, you might be on the road to becoming a full-blown fame monster. Maybe it's time to check yourself.
If you're destined for blogging fame, it will come through dedication, professionalism, and genuine respect. Through interaction, supporting your community, and authenticity. Let's take blogging back to its roots. This week's roundup is chock full of posts teeming with creativity, wit, and wisdom. I challenge you all to not only read and comment on at least 10 blog posts, but to share them as well. Find something that resonates with you and tweet it, like it, stumble it.

As I got older, one of the things I've gradually come to appreciate is my home. As the ultimate getaway and refuge from the fast pacing everyday life, its purpose is to make one feel utterly comfortable and relaxed. It's important to set the distinction between house and home: as I see it, what turns the first into the latter, is your personal touch, your own individual stamp making it a reflection of your persona.
One of the easiest ways to modify a space is by adding decorative elements and experimenting with placement. Lighting also plays a crucial role, as do the elements which provide it. On this note, one of my favourite pieces has to be a limited edition white Melt Lamp my good friend and designer, Rui Pereira, made especially for me.
The Melt Project was originally created by Rui at a workshop conducted by the renowned Campana brothers, aimed at imbuing everyday waste with new found life, by transforming it into design pieces. Through a unique process of heating and melting plastic waste to desired shapes, Rui is able to assemble original, exclusive and green pieces, which range from a variety of lamps, to chairs and other objects. The best part about them is that besides the strong ecological focus, they combine outstanding design with exclusivity, as the production process and materials used in their conception result in pieces with unique color, shape and texture.

Finding a proper stylish way to carry around keys, rather than simply stashing them in the pocket of their slim denim, is a struggle for many men. A basic keychain is no longer enough for those to whom perfection is found on the small details. One of the accessories that made it onto the spotlight of recent streetstyle pictures are metal chains, in an assortment of shapes and sizes.
Although it may be a refreshing urban pop in an otherwise traditional attire, I can't seem to dissociate them from the packs of 16 year-olds who usually sport them in baggy jeans. If choosing a differentiated keychain, I would favour a woven cotton lanyard. Providing an additional element to your look and introducing both texture and color, they're the perfect way to keep your keys or other belongings safe, while looking more sophisticated than their metal counterparts.

My friends (and brother) over at Driftwood Collective are a creative bunch brought together by their mutual love for surf and all things related. In their own words: "a group of friends, craftsmen and artists that don't take themselves too seriously and who, however lost in life they may be, are always easily found floating ashore. Surfers of dubious skill, who have decided to make something out of the idle hours languishing in between swells". When not out at sea, they can be found skating and kissing the floor in the most unlikely places, embarking on several projects and, if time allows it… working =)

When you hear the name "Boglioli" you immediately come up with an image in your mind of exquisitely tailored unstructured sports jackets: indeed, that's their trademark. However, this often overlooked Italian label cannot, by any means, be summed up by jackets alone. I've been following their collections for quite some time now, and truth be told, the amazing craftsmanship, cut and fabrics are carried on to every item they produce.
For me, one of the pieces that definitely deserves some attention is their spread collar shirts, especially those of Spring/Summer collections. Usually made of a blend of cotton and linen, and combining some interesting plays on pattern and color, along with quality details, these make for the perfect Summer shirt: lightweight, breathable and exuding that rugged Italian feel.

Man held after being charged with eight feloniesFebruary 08,2013Man charged with eight felonies
BENNINGTON A Rupert man is facing eight felony charges, all of them punishable by life in prison after police said he assaulted a woman in two different towns Jan. 31 and Feb. 1.
Mark T. Johnson, 31, of Rupert, was arraigned in Bennington criminal court on Monday on four felony counts of first-degree aggravated domestic assault, two felony counts of second-degree unlawful restraint and one felony count each of kidnapping and first-degree unlawful restraint risking injury.
Johnson was also arraigned for one misdemeanor count each of domestic assault, simple assault and interference with access to emergency services.
The charges were modified because Johnson was a charged as a habitual offender, a sentencing enhancement available when a defendant has previously been convicted of three or more felonies. A person convicted as a habitual offender can be sentenced to up to life in prison.
According to affidavits filed by Vermont State Police troopers, a woman who knew Johnson reported Feb. 2 that he had assaulted her Jan. 31 and Feb. 1. She said he had punched her in the back of the head Jan. 31 at his home in Rupert.
The woman told police that Johnson hits her in the back of the head so that no one would see any bruises he leaves.
She said Feb. 1 Johnson hit her and dragged her by the hair, pulling some of her hair out, in a public park in Manchester. During the incident she said, Johnson also kept her from leaving a vehicle and took her phone so she couldnt call police.
Another man who was present Feb. 1 said Johnson hit him in the eye when he tried to prevent Johnson from hitting the woman.
Police said Johnson denied any physical altercation.
Johnson, who pleaded innocent, was ordered held without bail on Monday.MORE IN This Just InA Rutland judge has denied Christopher Sullivan's motion to exclude an expert's testimony from...

SPOKANE, Wash.-- Former NBA star Craig Ehlo entered a guilty plea Wednesday morning according to court officials. Superior court workers said Ehlo pleaded guilty to a one count of Second Degree Reckless Burning. The charge is a misdemeanor.
The judge sentenced Ehlo to 364 days in jail. However, 363 of those days were suspended according to court records. Ehlo received credit for the one day he served when he was arrested in August.
Court documents said Craig Ehlo lit clothes on fire on August 1 causing damage to his home in South Spokane. He was allegedly fighting with family when he lit his clothes on fire with gasoline.
The documents also said family members had to hold him down until deputies arrived at the home.
No one was hurt during the incident.
Wednesday, the judge also recalled a no contact order so Ehlo could see his family. During the sentencing, prosecutor John Love told the judge Ehlo had no felonies on his record. Ehlo's family members also said they never felt physically threatened during the incident, according to Love.
"I can say the state was not concerned about the physical safety of the family, that was not an issue," said Love. "We were more concerned about the behavior and cause of the behavior. Mr. Ehlo has taken steps to correct that behavior in a positive way."
Ehlo's attorney told the court Ehlo never wanted to hurt anyone and is very humbled by what occurred. Ehlo said he made a mistake and didn't mean harm to anyone. He also made an apology to everyone and especially his family.
Ehlo was last scheduled to appear in court on August 14th but did not show up. His lawyer said Ehlo had entered a program for six weeks. The judge granted permission for Ehlo to leave the state to seek treatment.

The 51-year-old recently coached at Eastern Washington University and resigned July 11.
Ehlo played at Washington State University 1981-1983 and was drafted into the NBA by the Houston Rockets. He played for 14 seasons with the Rockets, the Cleveland Cavaliers, Atlanta Hawks and Seattle SuperSonics
He also worked as a television analyst for the Sonics and Gonzaga.

The Shock Racing Mini 6 LED Turn Signals are super bright, and they incorporate a ultra clear light magnifying lens which will make you more visible to cars etc. If you are installing front turn signals on your bike, I suggest you also purchase the Front Turn Signal Spacer shown below. It will make the installation of any turn signal easier and looking clean. It's noted that these turn signals are not D.O.T. approved but many of the products sold for a motorcycle (license plate brackets, undertail kits etc) are not D.O.T. approved. If you are really concerned, check with your local government office for D.O.T. regulations (every state is different).
Note: To make these LED's work with a Three wire system (newer bikes) DO NOT connect your "positive" running light wire

When three of the Top 10 goal scorers of all time and a two-time Norris Trophy winner are eligible for the Hockey Hall of Fame, it is not a tough call for the selection committee.
Forwards Steve Yzerman, Brett Hull, Luc Robitaille and defenceman Brian Leetch were announced on Tuesday as this year's inductees in the players category.
New Jersey Devils general manager Lou Lamoriello was elected in the Builder Category.
Representing all three forward positions, Yzerman, Hull and Robitaille accounted for an eye-popping 2,101 goals over the course of their careers and won a Stanley Cup together with the Detroit Red Wings in 2002. And Leetch helped the New York Rangers end their 54-year Stanley Cup drought in 1994.
At centre, Yzerman made an immediate impact when the Detroit Red Wings selected him fourth overall in the 1983 NHL Entry Draft. The former Peterborough Pete stepped into the lineup and scored 39 goals and added 48 points for 87 points in his rookie campaign.
"It is a tremendous honour to receive this news," Yzerman said. "I want to thank the Selection Committee for recognizing my contributions — I truly had chills down my spine when I got the news."
At the tender age of 21, Yzerman was named captain of the Red Wings in 1986-87. An oddity by today's standards, Yzerman spent his entire 22-year career with the Red Wings, scoring 692 goals to rank eighth on the all-time list.
A sad-sack organization when Yzerman arrived, the Red Wings have now become a model franchise since the Cranbrook, BC native arrived on the scene, missing the playoffs just twice in 22 years. During his tenure, the Red Wings won three Stanley Cups, with Yzerman winning the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP in 1998.
Currently, Yzerman is a vice president with the Red Wings as well as the executive director for Canada's men's Olympic hockey team - with his eyes set on winning gold at the 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver.
At right wing, Hull ranks third on the all-time list with 741 goals over his 19-year career. The son of Hall of Famer Bobby Hull, the Golden Brett was drafted in the sixth round and broke in with the Calgary Flames during the 1986 playoffs.
''It is hard to put into words what this means to me; especially since I'm joining my father in the Hockey Hall of Fame,'' Hull said. "Simply getting to the NHL was a challenge for me, and I would like to thank all of my supporters who made many sacrifices on my behalf."
But before he reached his goal-scoring potential, he was dealt to the St. Louis Blues in a trade deadline deal that helped the Flames win the Stanley Cup in 1989. With the Blues, Hull teamed up with Adam Oates to form a dynamic duo that enabled the sniper to score over 70 goals in three consecutive seasons, including a career-high of 86 markers in 1990-91. He would end his 10-year career in St. Louis with 527 goals for an average of over 50 goals per season.
In 1998, the Belleville, Ontario native moved on to the Dallas Stars and won a Stanley Cup when he scored the infamous 'toe in the crease' goal against the Buffalo Sabres. Over three seasons in Dallas, Hull averaged over 30 goals per campaign at the age of 34.
Hull continued to average over 30 goals a year in three seasons with the Red Wings, winning his second Stanley Cup in 2002. He finished his career with a brief stint in Phoenix. He is currently a member of the front office with the Stars.
At left wing, Robitaille is the highest scoring player at his position in league history, ranking 10th on the all-time list with 668 goals.
"My goal was always just to play in the NHL and I never dreamed of anything beyond that," Robitaille said. "To be honoured in the same room as The Rocket, Guy Lafleur and Wayne Gretzky is a tremendous honour."
Despite a high scoring junior career with the Hull Olympiques, Robitaille was not drafted until the ninth round of the 1984 NHL Entry Draft by the Los Angeles Kings. But the native of Montreal would surprise many by winning the Calder Trophy as the league's best rookie in 1986-87, scoring 45 goals in 79 games.
'Lucky Luc' followed that up with seven straight seasons of 44 goals or more with a career-high of 63 markers in the 1992-93 campaign.
In 1994-95, he spent one season with the Pittsburgh Penguins and then moved on to the New York Rangers for two more years before returning to the Kings in 1997-98.
After four sub-par seasons by his high standards, Robitaille rediscovered his touch around the net in Los Angeles, scoring 39 goals in 1998-99. He would score 112 goals over three years in his second stint with the Kings.
But one accomplishment was still missing from his resume and that was a Stanley Cup ring. With that in mind, he signed with the Red Wings for the 2001-02 campaign and joined Yzerman and Hull to hoist the holy grail of hockey.
His heart remained in Los Angeles, where he returned in 2003 and retired as a King following the 2005-06 campaign. Not surprisingly, he now works with the Kings in a front office position.
On defence, Leetch was drafted ninth overall by the Rangers in the 1986 Entry Draft but decided to spend a year playing for the U.S. National Team. The Corpus Christi, Texas native played his first full season with the Rangers in 1988-89, scoring 23 goals and 71 points.
''I am humbled and excited by this honour, particularly since for me it is difficult to think of myself as a member of the Hall of Fame,'' Leetch said. "My hockey career has been a long and enjoyable process. I am appreciative of all those who have helped me. From my father as my youth coach, to Mark Messier who helped me out so much -- both on and off the ice surface."
His individual career-best campaign came in 1991-92 when the smooth-skating blueliner surpassed the 100-point mark. He was rewarded with his first of two Norris Trophies as the league's best defenceman.
But his career highlight wouldn't happen for two more years when he won the Conn Smythe Trophy in the Rangers' march to the Stanley Cup, a goal that had eluded the Rangers for 54 years.
In 1996-97, he scored 20 goals for the fouth time in his career and won his second Norris Trophy.
Leetch, who also spent some time with the Toronto Maple Leafs and Boston Bruins but will always be remembered as a Ranger, finished his 18-year career with 1,028 points, including five 20-goal campaigns.
In the builders category, Lamoriello has been involved in hockey for over 40 years at the collegiate and NHL levels. The Devils have won three Stanley Cups during his tenure with the organization.
"This award is completely unexpected," Lamoriello said in a statement on the Hockey Hall of Fame website. "Over my career I have been fortunate to have been associated with great players and coaches, and this award recognizes their contributions to my career."
The induction celebration will take in place on November 9th at the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto.

On Aug. 28, four days before the Miami Hurricanes season opener against Boston College, senior running back Mike James was visibly excited about starting the new season.
It would be an honor to score on [Boston College] first, he said, smiling. I hope I dont [have to wait too long].
James plan did not come to fruition. And although UM won two of its first three games, James who had recorded touchdowns in the 2010 and 2011 openers failed to score in any of them. Meanwhile, his protégé, Duke Johnson, reached the end zone six times.
At a news conference leading up to last Saturdays game at Georgia Tech, the first two football-related questions James was asked were about Johnson. But it didnt seem to bother James.
According to teammates, James worked as hard as ever on the field and in the weight room. And last Saturday, he finally had the results to show for it, scoring four touchdowns, including the winning 25-yard run in overtime.
I was elated for him, senior cornerback Brandon McGee said. When a lot of people were praising Duke and everything, Mike stayed consistent. He said, Look, Im happy for Duke. A lot of people were giving him heat about it, but he kept grinding, and its showing.
Coach Al Golden said what impressed him the most about James performance against Georgia Tech was James unselfishness and the fact that the senior had clearly given his all, not only with his running and receiving but also with his crucial blocks.
He was so emotionally spent after the game, Golden said. You rarely see that [from players]. He was exhausted emotionally, almost to tears.
After the winning touchdown, James sought out fellow running backs Johnson, Eduardo Clements and Dallas Crawford.
Johnson who James has said is like a little brother to him was the first person he embraced.
All those guys were there for me, James said. Through the ups and downs, were there for each other. When one of us does good, we feel like all of us [have done] good.
It was especially meaningful for James that his elder sister, Jasmine, was in the stands.
She has been at every game since their mother died in a car accident in December 2010.
I tell my sister all the time how much I appreciate that shes been keeping the tradition going of my mom, James said. Its great just to see the support system there.
The performance against Georgia Tech might have been the breakout game his coaches and fans were hoping for, but James said he was just happy to get the win and show how driven the Hurricanes are this season.
Basically, were just trying to show our opponent that were tougher than them, were in better condition than them, were smarter than them, James said. Its not about who is scoring a touchdown.
James and Johnson will face a tough test Saturday against N.C. State, which is ranked 30th in total defense and 35th in rushing defense in the Football Bowl Subdivision.

By Raushan Nurshayeva
ASTANA (Reuters) - China has shown an interest in buying the stake of U.S. oil major ConocoPhillips
"Kazakhstan has not yet taken such a decision, but there is such a possibility," Mynbayev told reporters. He declined to say which company or government body represented China in talks with Kazakhstan over Kashagan.
Kazakhstan, Central Asia's largest oil producer and the second-largest post-Soviet producer after Russia, has the pre-emptive right to buy out the 8.4-percent stake owned by ConocoPhillips in Kashagan.
ConocoPhillips, which has been shedding overseas assets to cut debt and increase its investment in lower-cost domestic shale oil and gas, has said it intends to sell its Kashagan stake to India's state-run oil and Natural Gas Corp
Kazakhstan has until late May to decide whether to buy out the stake of ConocoPhillips, and Mynbayev said that further options would depend on the terms to be proposed by other parties also wishing to own this stake.
He declined to speculate whether India or China would have a better chance of owning the stake.
"If the terms offered by one side are significantly better than those of the other potential buyer, then the logic (of choice) of the authorities of Kazakhstan will be crystal-clear," Mynbayev said.
Kashagan, the world's biggest oilfield discovery in more than 40 years, holds an estimated 30 billion barrels of oil-in-place, of which 8 billion to 12 billion barrels are potentially recoverable, with first production expected in the middle of this year.
Kazakhstan, a vast nation of 17 million, is home to 3 percent of the world's recoverable oil reserves. It has moved in recent years to exert greater management control and secure bigger revenues from foreign-owned oil and gas developments.
Kazakh state oil firm KazMunaiGas first entered the Kashagan consortium in 2005 as a shareholder in 2005 and later doubled its stake to 16.81 percent.
Identical stakes are held by Italy's Eni

Many people may not understand how effective a professional life coach can be for them. I help individuals, business owners and teams work through any aspect of their life goals. Life coaching has becoming more main stream because people are looking for alternatives to therapy. Life coaching is not therapy. Life coaching is about moving you forward with life and keeping that momentum. I want you to leave the past behind you, look to the future and envision how successful you can be. A successful Life Coach is clinically taught to take the tools learned in both clinical and non-clinical situations, through a variety of life experiences, and formulate a successful plan for clients. Your success is our success.
I offer Business Coaching, Relationship/Family Coaching, Alternative Lifestyle Coaching, and Corporate Team Building.
I concentrate on the following areas of professional coaching:
Business Coaching
I aid future and existing business owners in how to think outside the box and focus on their short and long term business goals and achievements.
Maybe you have been laid off and are finally ready to take that big step in being your own boss. Or, you might be a CEO of that fortune 500 company who just needs a pick me relationship. I'm here for any situation that may arise.
Adolescent, Relationship & Family Coaching:
I understand how important strong relationships are in your life and their impact on conquering your life goals. Maybe you or your child is having a rough time during the teenage years and feel as though no one understands you...maybe the stress of life has strained the relationship you love. It could be that the in-laws on your last nerve and you need someone to listen while you vent. Whatever the case, I can provide support.
Alternative Lifestyle Coaching:
No matter what alternative lifestyle you are involved in, I will help you create a positive emotional connection within yourself and the significant others around you. It's difficult wanting to be yourself and needing someone to show you it's alright. I'm here to help you build your new foundation in life.
Corporate Team Building:
I know just about every Life Coach offers corporate team building workshops. What can I bring to the table, you might ask? A clear mind for starters, I bring an outside view to show the team how important it is to work together. I can be utilized by the entire team or I can accommodate a one-on-one session with the team's manager. No matter the job position, leadership may lack the proper aptitude to be motivated or how to motivate their team. I can teach successful interaction skills.
Motivational Speaker:
I understand the labor and sometimes intensity it takes to motivate individuals, much less a group, and I will happily bring the same motivation from one of our workshops or seminars to your facility and motivate your team.
I enjoyed our working relationship with Jason as he helped grow our medical case management company. We utilized a lot of his ideas he gave us to market our business, we clearly were going down the exact same path as our competitors and growth was slow and when Jason looked at our business model, he detailed what our competitors do and what we do and do better and gave us some great outside concepts to run with.
We continue to utilize Jason as we continue to grow; I enjoy our meetings once a month. Thank you Jason.

Lake Merritt is not a place for a dog park (Community Voices)
Earlier this year, the Oakland Planning Commission denied a permit to build the dog park at Lake Merritt. Dog park supporters will be appealing the decision at the Dec. 4, City Council meeting. When this issue came up before, it proved to be very divisive. Many came to speak out passionately against it. However, many […] [Read More]

Comments about Compression Gloves For Arthritis:
This does not provide compression, it's made with very flimsy material, and nothing about it does what it says it would...I'll just use it under my gloves as an additional hand warmer. Product is a failure.
Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend

Does not compress it has no effect. The gloves over time, a short time, tend to lose their elasticity and hence do not compress.

About Me Beaded Jewelry Maker, First Time User, Health Conscious, Typist
Because I use my hands a lot, I thought that this would help with the arthritius that I have in my right hand. I ordered the gloves for women. These gloves fit my 6 year old granddaughter perfectly. they were not only too small, but badly constructed as well. I truly wasted my money on this product.

Two of the rabid right wing's top character assassins — Conservative columnist Ann Coulter and World Net Daily publisher Joseph Farah — are at each others throats and the rhetoric is getting juicy.
Farah dropped Coulter from from a list of speakers at his upcoming "Taking America Back" gathering of right-wing reactionaries after she agreed to speak at the GOProud conference — an event staged by gay political conservatives.
The homophobic Farah blasted Coulter, saying "there is simply no room (at his conference) for compromisers or for people who accept money from those determined to destroy the moral fabric required for self-governance and liberty."
Coulter fired back at Farah, calling him a "publicity whore" and a "swine" for publishing an email exchange between the two.
Farah, Coulter said in Tweets and emails, "could give less than two shits about the conservative movement as demonstrated by his promotion of the birther nonsense. He's the only allegedly serious conservative pushing the birther thing and for one reason — to get hits on his web site."
Coulter writes a column for WorldNet Daily and said of her planned appearance before the conservative gay conference:
"They hired me to give a speech. So I'm giving a speech. I do it all the time."
Coulter added that she isn't losing any money over Farah's decision to drop her from his conference because he couldn't afford to pay her anyway.

I'll have to agree with Ann that anyone and I mean anyone that publishes or makes public, private correspondence without express permission, regardless of the medium is a "swine" or worse…! : |
Disclaimer: I'm not a follower or supporter of Ann Coulter's political views.
Carl Nemo **==
Who cares, these two both represent the worst of our country and neither should be given a pulpit to preach their hate.
Agreed Woody concerning the general tenor the article, but I wince when I hear people are engaged in compromising interpersonal communication for self aggrandizement purposes…period! : |
I also stated a disclaimer.
Carl Nemo **==
How freaking bizarre is this, an article that actually makes Coulter look like the good guy?….(pun intended)
Carl, Woody – get off the "preaching hate" nonsense. The phrase is used lazy people confront someone they think they disagree with, but know nothing about. It's easier than actually listening to someone's side of an argument. It doesn't require critical thinking. And once you've accused someone of "hate speech", you've won! You don't have to argue with someone like that, do you?
Stop being lazy and educate yourself. If you read Coulter and still disagree with her, great! Tell me what you disagree with, but don't take the low road and call it "hate speech". God, that gets on my nerves.

With these relationships comes untold value in essential goods and services that help us to maintain the world-class standards for which DIFF is known. We owe our ten years of excellence to their support."
Dubai Airports is Dubai's first face forward in greeting international guests arriving in the UAE for the festival. Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing (DTCM) are playing a pivotal role increasing the awareness of Dubai and attracting audiences and media to the Festival.
DIFF's international media sponsor CNN's support underscores that DIFF is a brand that resonates outside of the UAE, whilst MBC fits hand in glove with DIFF's aim of putting Arab cinema talent front and centre. ARN, DMI and Gulf News, all long-time supporters of the festival, will keep listeners and readers in the UAE in touch with their favourite cultural event. ZEE TV, the largest media franchise is key to circulating festival news to DIFF's South Asian festival guests.

At Fort Meade, where the suicide rate among service members is six times higher than that of the entire state, a crowd of 75 soldiers offered mostly silence when Mark Fisher asked them to list potential warning signs that a colleague is about to take his or her own life.
"The only way we're going to attack suicides is to talk about it," Fisher urged them. "We have to get it. And this is the only way."
Fort Meade's mandatory suicide prevention training Wednesday was part of an Army-wide initiative undertaken as the military branch is on pace to reach its highest-ever suicide rate. The number of suicides each year has nearly doubled since 2005, from 87 to 165 last year. And the number of monthly suicides doubled from June to July — when suicides outpaced combat deaths of active-duty soldiers.
Aberdeen Proving Ground will hold its "stand down" training Thursday as military installations around the globe temporarily halt operations to focus on suicide prevention.
"Out of 365 days of the year, we're taking a day that was otherwise devoted to something else and saying: That's not as important as this," Sgt. Maj. of the Army Raymond F. Chandler III said in a conference call.
"The nation has asked our soldiers to carry a heavy load over the past 11 years, and they have not let us down. But suicide is an enemy we have yet to beat."
At the current pace, the Army's suicide rate would be its highest yet at 29 deaths per 100,000 people this year. Fort Meade saw six suicides within the past 12 months among its military population of 11,600 people, base spokeswoman Mary Doyle said. Based on those numbers, the rate for Fort Meade would be more than 50 per 100,000 people.
Maryland's suicide rate in 2010, the most recent year for which data is available, was 8.4 deaths per 100,000 people.
Army officials and psychiatrists hesitate to name a single cause for the rise in suicides. "It'd be almost impossible to put one reason to the spike," said Troy A. Rolan Sr., an Army spokesman at the Pentagon.
Dr. Adam Kaplin at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, who last year sat in on monthly review of suicide cases at the Pentagon, said the reasons for the rise are complex and numerous. "The fact that we've been at war for more than a decade is playing a role, the fact that the economy is bad is playing a role."
Fisher, who ran Fort Meade's suicide prevention training, offered many reasons — the extra strain the military puts on relationships, financial woes, drug and alcohol use, and injuries.
"We've broken a lot of soldiers and sailors and Marines," Fisher said. "A lot of times, people kill themselves just to get away from the pain."
Cmdr. Marivic Fields, who is in charge of health promotion on Fort Meade, said five of the six suicides at the base happened within the past nine months. Several people who committed suicide had been facing disciplinary problems, Fields said, exacerbating what researchers say are two main reasons for suicide: feeling like a burden and the loss of connectedness.
"It's still that sense of shame that 'I'm not worth anything,'" Fields said.
The Army hopes to confront a culture in which mental illness can have a stigma and where, at least in the past, mental health care could have limited access to someone with a security clearance.
"What things do we need to change inside of the institution to create this culture where it is a position of strength to ask for help?" asked Chandler, the highest-ranking enlisted person in the Army.
Scott J. Salvatore, a psychologist and a commander with the U.S. Public Health Service at Fort Meade, said that in 2008, the military stopped asking about mental health care related to combat, grief or marital problems when screening soldiers for security clearances. Yet, he said, the myth remains that seeing a psychiatrist would jeopardize security clearances, and thereby jeopardize careers.
"It is a big stigma, and a barrier to those seeking care," Salvatore said.
The Army regularly has "stand-down" days to focus training on specific subjects, most recently on drunken driving and information technology, said Rolan, the Army spokesman at the Pentagon. The last Army-wide "stand-down" training for suicide prevention was in 2009.
Fort Meade soldiers, along with civilians and leaders, were taught to detect suicide warning signs, then instructed to ask people whether they needed help, to listen and escort them to aid when necessary.

In an era when publics are seeking to understand how immigration is reshaping populations and local communities, and the effect that newcomers are having on economic, educational, and labor systems, it is imperative to have access to credible and authoritative data. The U.S. and international data-rich research offered here, and data resources offered through our Data Hub, empower users to learn more about the role of immigration in today's world. Browse by region, by type of research, and more. And visit MPI's Data Hub for data tools, maps, and more.
Over the past decade, Singapore's multicultural yet nationalist society has experienced substantial inflows of Asian and Western professionals, low-skilled migrants from across Southeast Asia, and new immigrants from nontraditional sending countries. This, coupled with increasingly permanent emigration of educated and skilled Singaporeans, has presented the city-state with complex challenges related to migration policymaking.
Interested in information on annual naturalization trends, illegal immigration, the geographical distribution of immigrants in the United States, current and historical shares, and a host of other topics? MPI's Jeanne Batalova and Alicia Lee have assembled the latest, most interesting data on immigrants and immigration into one easy-to-use resource.
Once known for large-scale emigration, Greece has become the main point of entry for unauthorized migrants heading toward Europe. The country must now — amid economic turmoil — grapple with issues related to its highly porous borders, mounting asylum applications, and inadequate immigrant-detention system.
There were more than 46 million nonimmigrant (temporary) admissions to the United States in 2010, the highest number in nearly three decades. MPI's Alicia Lee and Jeanne Batalova outline the definition of nonimmigrants and take a detailed look at admissions data and data limitations.
Comprising only a small share of all immigrants in the United States, the foreign born from Taiwan seem to embody the very spirit of the Asian Tiger. As of 2010, Taiwanese immigrants exhibited extremely high levels of educational attainment; a notable tendency toward homeownership; and elevated rates of employment in management, business, information technology, and certain other professional, science, and engineering fields compared to the foreign-born population overall.
Slightly more than 2.1 million unauthorized immigrant youth and young adults could be eligible to apply for legal status under the 2010 DREAM Act, though historical trends indicate that perhaps fewer than 40 percent would obtain legal status because of a variety of limitations. This policy brief offers detailed estimates of potential DREAM Act beneficiaries.

The enlargement of the European Union has fundamentally changed migration patterns to the United Kingdom. Since May 2004 an estimated 1.5 million workers have moved to the UK from new EU member states. This report looks at the challenges ahead as migration patterns shift across the UK.
Mexico's efforts to help its migrants succeed in the U.S. offer a new example of an immigrant-sending country looking to improve its emigrants' lives and connect with its diaspora. This report examines Mexico's approach to its migrants and details the activities of the government's attempt to map the expanding range of its educational, health care, financial, and civic programs.
The size and characteristics of immigration to the UK have changed significantly. Immigrants are more numerous, more mobile, and more diverse than ever before. This report looks at the differing immigration patterns.
This report, commissioned by the BBC World Service, seeks to explore the myriad impacts of the global financial crisis that began in September 2008 on migration flows, immigration policies, remittances, and on migrants themselves. Select countries and regions are examined in detail to highlight overarching trends and regional differences.
The discussion guide offers a brief demographic and statistical profile of the immigrant student population in the United States, with comparison points drawn to Germany, sketches the broad policy implications of the demographic data, and provides a set of policy and practice issues in immigrant education and integration to facilitate a Roundtable inquiry in two areas: early childhood care and education, and secondary education.
This report explores the fundamental question of how successful integration and immigrant social mobility is in Europe and North America. The authors examine the economic performance and rate of labor market assimilation for first and second generation immigrants, and outline what policymakers can do to promote the social mobility and integration of immigrants and their children.

Cramer Quick Take: Don't Sell DuPont
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- During the Delivering Alpha Conference, fund manager Nelson Peltz announced that he is taking a significant, but undisclosed, position in DuPont (DD). TheStreet's Jim Cramer tells Brittany Umar what he's discovered about Peltz's investments.
Cramer said he did a study on the performance of stocks in which Peltz invested after the news of his position broke.
The results? "Uniformly fabulous." Don't sell the stock, he advised investors. DuPont is a holding in Cramer's charitable trust, Action Alerts Plus.
DuPont CEO Ellen Kullman was recently on CNBC's "Mad Money," hosted by Cramer, and said there are no plans to break up the company. Peltz wants the exact opposite, specifically cutting the paint division loose.Cramer is confident that this won't be the last time we hear from him on the subject. He also said that he doesn't expect DuPont to report a really great quarter on Tuesday, July 23. Still, he continued to stress, "Do not sell this company," citing how hard Peltz pushes to get things done. He pointed out that even with PepsiCo (PEP) making all-time highs, the fund manager said that he still wants it to buy Mondelez (MDLZ) and be broken up. What PEP would get in two years' earnings, Peltz will get in six months, Cramer said, concluding: "Do not bet against Peltz." -- Written by Bret Kenwell in Petoskey, Mich. Follow @BretKenwell
