After studying Fine Arts in Saint-Étienne for eight years, Chantal Montellier started educating graphics in 1969. That same year, she took on painting and started making illustrations for leftwing publications like Le Combat Syndicaliste, L'Humanité Dimanche, France Nouvelle, La Nouvelle Critique, Révolution, Maintenant, L'Autre Journal and Le Matin de Paris.
In 1974 Montellier started doing comics for Métal Hurlant, Canard Sauvage and the female magazine Ah! Nana. In the latter, she published the first pages of her 'Andy's Gang' series. The series was continued in Métal Hurlant from 1978. Her short stories for this magazine were collected in several albums by Humanoïdes Associés, like '1996', 'Shelter Lectures', 'Wonder City', etc.
In addition, she was contributing to À Suivre ('Hôpital Bellevue', 'Virginia Woolf', etc.) and she created several albums for the publishers Kesselring ('Rêves du Fou', 'Le Sang de la Commune') and Futuropolis ('La Toilette', 'Un Deuil Blanc'). In 1989 Montellier created 'Julie Bristol' in À Suivre, which she continued in a series of albums published by Casterman and Dargaud. Also for Dargaud, she made 'Voyages au Bout de la Crise' and 'Paris sur Sang: Mystère au Père-Lachaise'. In the 2000s, Montellier has worked for the publishing field, done illustration work and contributed stories to Psikopat. Chantal Montellier uses an esthetic photographic style, which shows traces of an early Jacques Tardi.

Last year, the government sequestration shut down the Pocatello Airport's annual "Airport Appreciation Days." So, this year, airport officials are making up for it by hosting a bigger and better event: "SkyFest" this Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
"We have really stepped it up this year. We want to offer an event that will expose the community to the airport environment," said Pocatello's airport manager, David Allen. "This will be an exciting "open house" type of event with something for everyone."
POCATELLO-A bike ride across the state by Mattie Mulick and Norah Parkinson, two friends and former teammates of the late Jackie Poulson (Blackfoot resident and Idaho State University track coach), came to an end at ISU's Davis Field on Saturday afternoon.
Poulson was tragically electrocuted two years ago in the Groveland area. Her future father-in-law Keith Tarpley and friend Lance Hicks also died in the accident.
BLACKFOOT — After serving the Blackfoot and Fort Hall communities since 2011, Father Jose´ de Jesus Gonzalez was officially installed as the pastor of Blackfoot's St. Bernard's Catholic Church and Fort Hall's St. Kateri's Catholic Church at a special mass at St. Bernard's on Friday. This means that the church's bishop [Michael Driscoll of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Boise] has entrusted Gonzalez with the two parishes and that he [Gonzalez] will serve in the area for at least six more years.
BLACKFOOT — The distinctive Castle Pre-School and Day Care, north of Blackfoot, has been sold to the Blackfoot Charter Community Learning Center (BCCLC) on Hunter's Loop. The two facilities share a common 174 foot boundary.
The Castle Pre-School and Day Care will be open through Thursday, July 31. BCCLC will take over ownership on Friday, Aug. 1.
From March 6 through July 21 of this year, the Snake River School District has spent $57,846.08 on legal advice. This figure is 723 percent above the budgeted amount for legal services.
The Snake River District budgeted $8,000 for the 2013-2014 school year, said business manager Chris Nelson.
Much of that money went to conduct hearings into the case of Elaine Asmus, a science teacher who was charged with harassment following a disagreement with another teacher in January. When she was not offered a contract for the 2014-2015 school year, Asmus sought a public hearing.
In a brief meeting on Tuesday, Blackfoot School District officials moved to rebid 10 of 16 bus routes. The special meeting was called after Teton Stage Lines owner Donavan Harrington appealed the decision originally made by the district in June denying their bid for the routes and giving them to Miles Bus Company even though Teton Stage Lines was the lowest bidder.
BLACKFOOT — Blackfoot native Darrell Jack Callison has been named Grand Marshal of this year's Eastern Idaho State Fair by the EISF Board of Directors. He will lead the annual parade down Shilling Avenue at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 30.
Under the instruction of longtime music teacher Rebecca Battle of Pingree, Pocatello teen Austin Keller holds a first place title from the International Classical Guitar Festival and Competition at Incline Village, Nevada, last week.
Keller, 16, played two classic 10-minute pieces (Prelude from Bach's Cello Suite and the Fantaisie Hongroise by J.K. Mertz) from memory, claiming first in Division 1 Juniors (15-18 year olds). He took second place in the competition last year.
Bingham County commissioners Whitney Manwaring and Mark Bair and Bingham County Sheriff Craig Rowland each planted a flowering pear tree on the boulevard on Friday morning at the southwest side of the Bingham County Courthouse.
"We want to beautify the grounds," said Scott Summers, maintenance supervisor for the courthouse grounds and building.

I really like this hat, I think it looks awesome. It fits true to size. Also you can't really see from the picture, you can kinda see it on the red one, but there are a bunch of Burton logo stitchings in the front. Adds more character and looks cool. There is also a Burton symbol on the back where a MLB logo would go. Good quality feels like a New Era hat.

Book Description:Hungerford integrates graphing technology into the course without losing sight of the fact that the underlying mathematics is the crucial issue. Mathematics is presented in an informal manner that stresses meaningful motivation, careful explanations, and numerous examples, with an ongoing focus on real-world problem solving. The concepts that play a central role in calculus are explored from algebraic, graphical, and numerical perspectives. Students are expected to participate actively in the development of these concepts by using graphing calculators (or computers with suitable software), as directed in the Graphing Explorations, either to complete a particular discussion or to explore appropriate examples.

35th Meeting of the Ramsar Standing Committee
Lamentablemente, no hay versión en español de este documento
Report of the Chair of the Scientific and Technical Review Panel
|Action requested: The Standing Committee is invited to note the progress of the work of the Panel during 2006, and to endorse the STRP Work Plan for 2006-2008.
Introduction and Work Plan development
1. This report covers the first year of the work of the Scientific and Technical Review Panel (STRP) since its appointment by the STRP Oversight Committee in February 2006, as reported to the 34th meeting of the Standing Committee in DOC. SC34-12.
2. The Panel met for its first plenary session of the triennium, its 13th meeting, from 30 May to 2 June 2006, in Gland, Switzerland. The report and decisions of STRP13 have been circulated to all Contracting Parties and are available on the Ramsar Web site, on: http://www.ramsar.org/strp/strp13_report.htm.
3. During its 13th meeting, the Panel established nine Working Groups to progress the different aspects of its work. Thematic Working Groups are led by the appointed STRP member for the theme; other Working Groups are led by the Chair (Heather MacKay) and Vice-Chair (Rebecca D'Cruz) of the Panel. These Working Groups are as follows:
|Working Group
|1. Inventory, assessment, monitoring & indicators
|Teresita Borges
|Max Finlayson; Dave Pritchard
|2. Wise use & ecological character of wetlands
|Randy Milton
|Rebecca D'Cruz; Maria Rivera
|3. Ramsar site designation & management
|David Stroud
|4. Water resources management
|Mike Acreman
|Rebecca Tharme; Heather MacKay
|5. Wetlands and agriculture
|Max Finlayson
|6. Wetlands and human health
|Secretariat & STRP Chair*
|7. Resolution VIII.45 and ongoing issues
|Heather MacKay
|8. Communications, education & public Awareness (CEPA)
|Christine Prietto
|9. Regional Networking
|Rebecca D'Cruz
|Heather MacKay
* pending identification and appointment of an appropriate lead expert member
4. During its meeting, the Panel reviewed, under each theme, the Immediate, High and lower Priority tasks for the 2006-2008 triennium, as allocated to it by Parties at COP9 in Resolution IX.2 Annexes 1 and 2.
5. The Panel considered and developed mechanisms, using a standard pro forma, for the delivery of each of its Immediate and High Priority tasks, and also identified certain lower priority tasks which it considered could be progressed during this triennium within the capacity of the Panel members and observers without the need for additional resources. Further work in developing and finalizing these pro formas, which together form the STRP's 2006-2008 Work Plan (provided as Annex 1 to this paper) has been undertaken by the Working Group leads and the leads they have identified for specific tasks.
6. During STRP13 the Panel paid significant attention to the issues of regional networking, especially in developing and engaging the network of STRP National Focal Points. The Panel recalled the importance of this aspect of its current work recognized by Parties during COP9 and reflected in its 2006-2008 modus operandi (Resolution IX.11). Although 'regional networking' was not included in Resolution IX.2 as a high priority task, the Panel agreed, in order to progress this aspect of its work with due priority, to establish a specific "Working Group on Regional Networking". The Panel also established two new Immediate Priority tasks for this Working Group (provided as tasks 168 and 169 in the annexed Work Plan).
7. During STRP13, the Panel also recommended two other changes to the prioritization of its work. These are:
i) that task 13 (Reviewing the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment's response options in relation to Ramsar's current Conceptual Framework for wise use, and the wise use responses available in the Ramsar Handbooks) is included as a High Priority task (rather than its lower priority status in Resolution IX.2). This is in view of the need recognized by STRP13 to address this issue whilst the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment reports remain topical so as to bring any further relevant materials and guidance to the attention of Parties at COP10, and particularly since the MA's synthesis report on water and wetlands was not available to Parties prior to COP9; and
ii) that task 5 (review and repackaging of Ramsar technical guidance where appropriate) be treated as a High Priority rather than Immediate Priority task, since its delivery will necessarily be consequent on, and informed by, the work being undertaken as Immediate Priority Task 3 (review and assessment of scientific and technical aspects of implementation of COP resolutions).
8. During STRP13 the Panel identified those of its Immediate and High Priority tasks for which additional funding would be needed to undertake the work, and provided an estimate of such costs. Following STRP13, the STRP Oversight Committee approved the earmarking of the estimated funds for each of the Immediate Priority tasks.
9. It is most pleasing to be able to report to Standing Committee that owing to voluntary contributions to the work of the STRP from the governments of Sweden and the United Kingdom, combined with an allocation of funds from the STRP core budget line, sufficient funds are now available for initiating each of the Immediate Priority tasks, and work is now underway to progress these. We are very grateful to the governments of Sweden and the United Kingdom for their support to the STRP's work.
10. In addition, now that more precise costs for each of the Immediate Priority tasks have been defined, it will also be possible now to allocate funds to initiate work on some, but not all, of the High Priority tasks in the Work Plan. I will shortly be reviewing this with the STRP Oversight Committee and will report to the Standing Committee on any further progress when it meets.
Next stages in Work Plan implementation
11. At STRP13 the Panel reaffirmed the importance of holding mid-term workshops for its Working Groups in order to review progress and determine the ways and means of finalizing its advice and materials for consideration by Standing Committee and COP10. The STRP Oversight Committee approved the holding of mid-term workshops, which will take place in Gland from 26-30 March 2007.
12. The Panel will determine the dates for its 14th plenary meeting once the dates for the 36th meeting of the Standing Committee have been decided, so as to ensure that there is sufficient time for its COP10 advice and products to be finalized for transmission to the Standing Committee and/or its Subgroup on COP10.
13. The Secretariat and Panel will also now be seeking ways and means of finding additional funding necessary to progress all High Priority tasks in its Work Plan.
Issues concerning the operations of the Panel under its revised COP9 modus operandi
14. As recorded in the report of STRP13, the meeting was highly productive, with a very high quality of discussion. The Panel and its observers worked closely together, with valuable contributions from all involved. It was particularly pleasing to have significant participation also from representatives of Ramsar's partner convention secretariats and their subsidiary bodies.
15. The Panel felt that the excellent work undertaken by STRP13 was in significant part due to the approach under the revised modus operandi, and in particular the appointment of members for both priority thematic areas of work (especially including a CEPA expert member) and for regional network development. In addition, the process prior to, and during, COP9 (Resolution IX.2) to identify the priorities for work to be undertaken by the Panel during this triennium was recognized as a significant step forward and of considerable help to the Panel in focusing and prioritizing tasks for attention.
16. Nevertheless, the suite of Immediate and High Priority tasks in Resolution IX.2 together still constitutes a very substantial body of work to be undertaken by the Panel during this triennium. In addition, some tasks are complex and many faceted, notably task 52 on a review of data and information needs, and there are many interlinkages between the work needed on many tasks.
17. Progress has still been slower than ideal during 2006 in getting all aspects of the Work Plan finalized and work on substantial tasks initiated following the first STRP meeting of the triennium. There are several reasons for this: partly the lead time for new Panel members to get fully up to speed on processes and mechanisms; partly because it also takes time for Panel members to think about, define and advance tasks, given the constraints of their day jobs; and partly the recognized need for more Secretariat administrative support for STRP processes. On this last issue, this should be resolved by the recruitment process currently underway to appoint a Scientific and Technical Support Officer in the Secretariat, the major part of whose role will be to support STRP processes. It is hoped that this appointment will be made in time for the successful candidate to participate fully in the STRP's mid-term workshops.
18. Despite the attention to regional networking and engagement of STRP National Focal Points (NFPs) by the Panel's regional members, first indications are that it is proving very difficult to make contact with many of the National Focal Points, and this is a matter for continuing concern. The 'information brochure' currently being prepared for NFPs by the STRP and Secretariat will help in this, but the matter will need to be the subject of further discussion at the mid-term workshops.
19. In practice it may prove unrealistic to hope to mobilize the NFPs to participate in all the STRP processes. Rather it may be more feasible to obtain focused input from the NFPs on specific tasks that are of particular regional or national interest, and thematic task leaders will coordinate with the STRP's regional networkers where inputs and discussion from NFPs would be valuable. In addition, some innovative ideas for linking to within-country wetland expertise are coming up: for example, identifying organizations such as research institutes or existing scientific networks to link to, or potentially act as, the STRP NFP. It seems most likely that the progressive establishment of a more flexible arrangement, differing between countries depending on the capacity and situation in each, may prove to be the most effective idea.
20. Finally, the establishment of the STRP Oversight Committee under the COP9 modus operandi is proving to be an extremely helpful mechanism for advising on and supporting STRP implementation matters intersessionally.

21. One of the key roles of the Panel under its modus operandi is to keep under review and identify emerging issues it considers should be addressed by the Convention. Discussion at STRP13 on such matters focused on the recognition that there have been significant new developments regarding wetlands and climate change since Ramsar COP8, and the Panel has recommended that the issue be brought back onto the agenda in the near future. This and other emerging issues will be further considered during the mid-term workshops.
22. A related emerging issue is the role and importance of Earth Observation (EO - remote sensing) in supporting wetland inventory, assessment, monitoring, and site management. As part of its ongoing support to Ramsar implementation, the European Space Agency (ESA) has been funding the Globwetland project, which is bringing access to Earth Observation products to support managers on 50 Ramsar sites around the world. As part of this collaboration, ESA and the Ramsar Secretariat organized a 'Globwetland Symposium' in October 2006 which brought together a wide range of wetland remote-sensing experts and end-users. There was major involvement in the Symposium by the STRP Chair and a number of its members, and its conclusions (to be published shortly) have recognized the increasing accessibility and value of many aspects of Ramsar implementation of Earth Observation.
23. The conclusions of the GlobWetland Symposium support the increasing recognition of the interconnectedness of multi-scalar wetland inventory, EO and climate change in the light of the findings of the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MA).
24. The high political and public profile of climate change is likely to be maintained and will probably grow, although the full range of the ecosystem services provided by wetlands in relation to climate change adaptation remains to be recognized. This in turn seems set to lead to greater need for contextual information (i.e., global/regional trends in the status of all wetlands, not just Ramsar sites) within which to interpret changes at river basin and site level, and thence develop appropriate response options. Having global and regional inventory and status information readily available will benefit Parties in the planning and management of individual Ramsar sites. In addition, such information will also contribute to regional and national level management of water resources and agricultural resources as the climate changes.
25. The MA results have highlighted the current lack of good information on wetlands at regional and global scales. Continued monitoring of individual sites is essential, but it is also essential to have a larger-scale coordinated monitoring network to provide the context within which wetland managers can understand and assess changes and responses at site level. EO technology could be our best hope for improved global and regional coverage to provide baselines, status assessments and trends in large regional/subregional wetland ecosystems.
26. In this respect, the STRP is also taking a keen interest in the development of a WSSD Type II partnership on global wetland inventory, which was launched by FAO and IWMI with the Ramsar Secretariat during the Globwetland Symposium.
27. Concerning emerging issues of wetlands and human health, the Panel continues to maintain a watching brief on the matter of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI), particularly through Panel member David Stroud's participation in the Avian Influenza Task Force (for further information, see DOC SC35-16). During STRP13, the Panel reviewed recent developments on HPAI and reaffirmed the importance and continued relevance of both Resolution IX.23 and the recent Standing Committee decision on this matter. As part of its STRP13 report, the STRP agreed further advice on this matter, which is provided below. More broadly, the Panel is also continuing to develop a way forwards for its priority work plan task on wetlands and human health (task 163).
28. In conclusion, the Panel will be continuing to keep such issues under review, with a view to reporting more fully to the 36th meeting of the Standing Committee.
STRP13 advice concerning "Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza and its consequences for wetland and waterbird conservation and wise use: developments since COP 9"
The STRP reviewed developments related to the spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza subtype H5N1 that have occurred since Ramsar COP 9 (November 2005). It re-affirmed that Resolution IX.23 remains both a useful and relevant source of advice for Contracting Parties and others in guiding national responses to the emerging situation.
The STRP reaffirmed that:
- "the conclusions of WHO, FAO and OIE that attempts to eliminate HPAI in wild bird populations through lethal responses such as culling are not feasible and may exacerbate the problem by causing further dispersion of infected birds" (Resolution IX.23).
The STRP recorded its considerable concern regarding information that indicated that one Contracting Party has adopted formal policies which promote the culling of wild birds and the potential destruction of wetland nesting habitats, counter to decisions taken at COP 9 (Resolution IX.23). The Panel requested the Secretariat to contact that Contracting Party on this matter and to ask the authorities there to reconsider their policy, reminding them, as well as all other Contacting Parties, of the international consensus that exists on this matter and the content of Resolution IX.23.
The Panel also stressed that:
- there is critical need for integrated national approaches that bring together expertise from different sectors, especially those related to agriculture, animal disease, human health and wildlife conservation. National responses which are not integrated are likely to be markedly less successful. The need for 'joined-up' planning which involves different parts of governments and other sources of expertise remains central to successful responses to the current spread of this virus;
- national contingency plans should be developed, especially outlining responses that would be undertaken in the event of outbreaks or detection of HPAI H5N1, as an essential element of national preparedness;
- there is a need to establish processes, formal and informal, that would allow the rapid sharing between countries of 'lessons learnt' as a result of recent responses to outbreaks of HPAI H5N1. The Scientific Task Force on Avian Influenza may be in a position to facilitate such information exchange;
- high biosecurity standards by the poultry industry are the crucial response to risk reduction; and
- extensive and long-term data sets and the networks of experts behind these data sets relating to bird movements and waterbird counts are of particular importance (as recognized by Resolution IX.23, paragraph 10) as an essential information resource that allows exploration of possible scenarios of the current HPAI spread, including identification of areas of higher relative risk along migratory flyways, and their role in helping to inform possible policy responses to outbreaks.
New information sources
The STRP noted several recent sources of data and information that are available online and may assist Contracting Parties in responding to the current situation. These include that:
1. The European Food Safety Authority has recently published a major risk assessment related to the potential spread of HPAI H5N1 to the European Union. The background report summarizes much technical information, including current understanding of the epidemiology of the virus, including viral survival under a range of environmental conditions. It also develops a methodology for identifying wild bird species which are thought to be of higher risk of transmitting HPAI H5N1 (although it is not possible to quantify this risk in absolute terms). This methodology is likely to be applicable beyond the EU. Surveillance for HPAI in the EU has since been targeted at these 26 species, and such a focused approach to surveillance is cost-effective. One of the recommendations from this work is that poultry holdings should not be built in the vicinity of wetlands.
2. The European Commission has recently published guidelines for HPAI surveillance , which contains a range of 'best practice' guidance related to field methodologies and sampling techniques. This guidance is more broadly relevant.
3. CMS and the AEWA convened an international seminar in Nairobi in April 2006. The conclusions and recommendations of this meeting are widely relevant, and they summarize priorities for surveillance, early-warning and risk assessments; priority short-term needs; longer-term needs; and priorities for collaboration and communication.

BBDO and Autism Speaks: Eye Contact Using Kinect
Posted by Chris Campaner on April 27th, 2011
No Comments
Autism Speaks and BBDO New York have teamed up to create an interactive experience demonstrating what parents truly go through when their child is diagnosed with Autism. One of the most prominent signs of Autism in children is the avoidance of eye contact. The team at BBDO decided to try and recreate what it must be like trying to interact with a child in this scenario, to engage people on a deep and relatable level.
Using "Kinect" technology, the same motion-detecting equipment found in your Xbox gaming gear, a life-size young girl was shown on a video screen and when a person would stand close to try and make eye contact with her, she would look in opposite directions, imitating the real world experience.
Not only is this a great demonstration of how to engage people with a charitable message, it's a fantastic way to educate and entertain at the same time. Too often we see awareness pushes like this that are relevant or connective at the moment of interaction and then forgotten just as quickly. Autism Speaks and BBDO have truly uncovered a simple, yet effective (not to mention fast) way of connecting the user with the truths of the disorder, along with the human emotions that come into play with all people involved.

Stocks for newborns: Baby's fortune starts now
OK, so you don't have to aim for millions. But time and a little savvy can really pay off as your child grows. Here are 8 expert picks and some tips on where to begin.
Wouldn't it be great to give a newborn the same stock market bonanza? If only.
In today's volatile markets, perhaps the most we can do is invest some cash in a reliable, well-priced stock and hope it goes somewhere.
The right choice might turn into a college tuition in a couple of decades. Or a down payment. We just have to figure out what to pick.
And that's what led us to create the Stocks for Newborns series that has been running all week on Top Stocks. Investors are so focused on short-term plays these days, jumping in and out of picks at a moment's notice. We asked our panel of experts to take a step back. Waaay back. If you were going to buy a stock for a newborn today, one with a 20-year or 30-year horizon, what would you choose?
We got eight thoughtful picks covering a number of industries, including technology, energy and retail. You can read about the choices here:
First, you can open an account with a discount broker or a full-service broker. Usually, this involves filling out a few forms and sending the broker a deposit before you even get started. The broker will want to see your account funded before turning you loose to pick stocks.
You can try asking your broker for an actual certificate of stock ownership, but that might come with a hefty fee -- up to $500 in some cases. The paper stock certificate is on its way out; some companies don't even offer a paper certificate to shareholders anymore. It's all going electronic. But the good news is that the electronic transfer of shares as a gift is relatively painless.
Another option is to find a plan that lets you buy stock directly from a company. These plans are known as dividend reinvestment plans, or DRIPS, and they are often done without hefty brokerage fees, though some might charge a nominal fee. Some companies offering their own DRIP plans are Caterpillar (CAT), McDonald's (MCD), Coca-Cola (KO) and General Electric (GE).
But there's one caveat to many DRIP plans: You have to be a shareholder of record first. So how do you become a shareholder of record? The answer is in a third option, which allows you to buy one share of a company and get a shiny stock certificate to boot.
Websites like GiveAShare.com specialize in giving one share of stock as a gift. Sometimes customers are looking to become a shareholder of record for those DRIP plans, says co-founder Rick Roman. GiveAShare even devotes a portion of its website specifically to DRIP plans.
Other customers want to buy one share for a child. The certificate itself is of value, Roman says. In fact, if you sell the stock, you have to return the certificate to the broker you're working with. So customers often choose to protect the certificate by having it framed.
GiveAShare can handle a credit card transaction -- unlike many brokerages -- but it's limited to selling one-share increments. It sells only the most mainstream stocks (you can see the list here), so many of the ones our experts recommend won't show up on its site.
Picking a stock as part of a long-term investment strategy is extremely difficult, Roman said. "I used to think that I could really beat the market, and I think I've been humbled a few times," he added. Haven't we all.
But keep in mind that when you're buying a stock for a newborn, you aren't looking for that Forrest Gump lightning bolt. You just need something slow and steady for the long haul. If you're lucky, you'll see some nice splits and share price growth. Check out this chart on Coca-Cola's website, which shows that one share in 1919 has since split so many times that it has turned into 4,608 shares today. At Thursday's closing price of $77.44, that equals $356,844. And Coca-Cola's board has just recommended another 2-for-1 stock split.
There's another benefit to buying stock for a newborn. It gives the child an early education about stock ownership and business operations. Roman said the most popular baby stock gift is Disney (DIS), mostly because it comes with such a nice stock certificate. But owning a stock like Disney also gives a firsthand peek into how the stock market and public ownership works.
So for the next newborn in your life, consider buying a chunk of stock as an investment in the future. It sure beats a diaper cake.

This is something that I have already done for my two grandkids. They were born and i set them up with a TD Ameritrade account and put $1,000 in their accounts. Their dad can invest it for them and they are doing ok. I am hoping that when they are old enough to understand they have stock that they will learn about investing. Many people don't understand how the stock market works. One person on here asked about corporations sharing more with investors. Two weeks ago I purchased stock that will return over a 6% dividend based on what I purchased it for. So far, it has gone up 18%in value. Someone else mentioned brokerage fees. You do need to watch out for those. I don't want to mention any particular brokerage but there are accounts for as little as o.17% or so; you just have to know what you are getting into. Brokerage fees can eat your $.
Opened a 529 Plan for our 8 month old granddaughter. $5,000 to open and $500 per month for 18 years. If she is as smart as her Mom and Grandmom there should be additional funding available through a scholarship(s). While a college education is not a guarantee of
anything, I plan to provide every advantage possible for this precious little one.
Lol. Ok marks, line up. The wealthy wall street creeps want your soul from cradle to grave. You'd not remember the 401k bust that wall street raped your parents with and caused them to work until death, no retirement funds left because their 401k funds were swallowed by the greedy pigs at wall street.
Are young parents really that stupid? To reinvest in wall street in their kids name? Hell no!!!!

Consumer staples: 3 winners from a losing sector
These stocks are ripe for a turnaround.
By Will Ashworth
Who's up for digging through the trash heap?
Bespoke Investment Group ran an article last week showing how oversold each of the 10 sectors that make up the S&P 500 were over the previous seven days. Yardeni Research also published a report illustrating the return of each of those sectors year-to-date through Nov. 15.
On both occasions, the consumer staples sector lagged the overall market. It isn't the worst performer -- that award goes to the utilities sector -- but it is near the bottom. Of the seven subsectors that make up the consumer staples sector, brewers and personal products fared especially poorly.
In the name of mean reversion, here are three companies to bet on from those two subsectors.
Tap into TAP
My first pick is an easy one ... but not for the reasons you might think. It turns out Molson Coors (TAP) is the only brewer in the S&P 500; conveniently, it's down 6.6% through Nov. 15, making it an attractive candidate for a snapback play. However, be prepared for more pain before any gains. In fact you might want to hold off buying until the NHL gets back to playing hockey ... which might not happen until next October.
Hockey is Canada's game, and last year the country accounted for 31% of Molson Coors' $6.69 billion in revenue. Without hockey, it's almost as if Canadians have no reason to drink beer. Molson Coors sales for the first four weeks of the fourth quarter –– which just happen to coincide with what should have been the first month of the hockey schedule –– are down 9% over last year. Last year, Molson Coors along with its U.S. partner SABMiller (SBMRF), signed a seven-year, $375-million deal to be the official sponsor of the NHL. (That deal is not working out too well so far.)
So why should you buy?
Because it's the only major brewer that you can own for less than book value -- in fact, it's trading at a multiple of book value not seen in a decade. In June it paid $3.4 billion for StarBev, one of Central Europe's largest breweries. And given its debt-to-total-capital of just 36%, the company could easily afford another acquisition -- craft-beer enthusiasts wouldn't like it, but Boston Beer (SAM) would make an ideal target. TAP has traded between $30 and $40 since 2009. Eventually it's going to climb out of its rut; a splashy buy like Sam Adams would do the trick.
Avon calling
Let's move to the personal products industry. With a total of five such companies in the S&P 500 to choose from, it makes my job a little easier (but not much). My first pick is Avon Products (AVP), whose new CEO has a pedigree for success -- now it's time for the execution. Sherilyn McCoy, who took the top spot in April after a stint at Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), replaces longtime CEO Andrea Jung.
McCoy brings a lot of consumer products experience to the table, having successfully folded Pfizer's (PFE) consumer business into J&J. On Thursday, she appointed former Procter & Gamble (PG) executive Patricia Perez-Ayala as Avon's chief marketing officer. Perez-Ayala's experience in some of Avon's strongest markets will definitely come in handy. Seven months into the job and McCoy is making some strong moves -- with the stock at a two-year low, now's the time to get on the bus.
EL-evate your portfolio
Estee Lauder's (EL) stock has lost 11% of its value in the past month, 500 basis points worse than the S&P 500. I guess every stock has to cool it at some point. EL has achieved a positive total return in eight of the past 10 years, posting 15.2% annual returns compared to 6.2% for the index. It's a rock star on the S&P 500, delivering consistent earnings -- and yet the stock is moving backward.
CEO Fabrizio Freda announced Nov. 15 that the company was adding two additional group presidents to work alongside the existing executives. Freda's strengthening his bench while creating greater competition for his eventual succession -- it's another smart move from one of America's brightest minds.
Although Estee Lauder's first-quarter revenues grew by only 3%, operating income was up 12% to $482 million on $2.5 billion in revenue. Skin Care, the company's biggest segment representing 44% of its overall revenue, grew operating income 16% in Q1. Historically, operating margins have never been higher.
My take? Every time its stock approaches $50, investors should be buying. While Molson Coors and Avon both present intriguing long-term prospects, Estee Lauder is the star of this show.
As of this writing, Will Ashworth did not own a position in any of the stocks named here.

SIDSnet Project described
(On 24 April, during the 6th meeting of the Commission on Sustainable Development, the Alliance of Small Island States and UNDP's Sustainable Development Networking Programme hosted a demonstration of the new SIDSnet, a Web site dedicated to "building virtual global communities on island issues from the Barbados Plan of Action." Readers are encouraged to visit the Web site at http://chacmool.sdnp.undp.org/ and to read over this reprint of the background sheet that was distributed at the time.)
Small Island Developing States Network (SIDSnet)
1. The Action Plan of the Regional Technical Meeting for the Atlantic / Caribbean / Mediterranean preparatory to the Global Conference on the Sustainable Development of Small Island Developing States (SIDS, Barbados - May 1994) made the following recommendations on Information Management:
In view of the vast primordial importance of information and the volume which already exists in regional and international organizations and institutions, which represent great value in time and experience in the different areas of sustainable development, efforts must be made to tap these databases and avoid the duplication of studies and wastage of scarce resources. The following actions should be taken:
improve the availability of existing information in databases in regional and international organizations and institutions by indexing relevant information for SIDS under a new index entry for SIDS; and
promote and facilitate inter-island exchange of information on experiences, research and development in the area of sustainable development between the SIDS.
2. A 1994 case study and a follow-up in 1996 further emphasized the importance of information exchange between SIDS. The 1996 report highlighted the rapid development (since 1994) with Internet connectivity of participating SIDS.
3. In March 1997, the SDNP and TCDC unit of UNDP jointly funded a full-time coordinator to develop the Pilot SIDSnet programme currently based in New York. SDNP and TCDC agreed that an oversight committee would be appointed from AOSIS, the regional bureaus, SDNP and TCDC to guide the SIDSnet pilot project.
4. May 10, 1997, the oversight committee from AOSIS and other UNDP organizations approved a proposal for SIDSnet that included the development of a global SIDSnet internet networking site, SIDSnet news wire and a plan for pilot connectivity projects in six SIDS to ensure all SIDS can eventually participate in global SIDSnet. This was later endorsed by AOSIS.
5. October 6, 1997, A special SIDSnet presentation outlining SIDSnet activities for the next 18 months was made to an AOSIS plenary meeting in New York. AOSIS has committed to assist in securing additional funding to ensure that SIDSnet meets its objectives.
6 SIDSnet Activities
6.1 SIDSnet Global Network
The new SIDSnet is an Internet based network and will include WWW calendars, forums, web directories and access to important SIDS databases. The SIDSnet network will enable the TCDC SIDS experts and institutions databases to be updated online and will provide tools for other relevant databases to be accessed and updated by SIDS stakeholders worldwide. The network will allow users with only e-mail accounts to actively participate in all discussions/features. Regional and local stakeholders (e.g. UWI, CARICAD, CCA) will manage all aspects of the network.
Hewlett Packard has agreed to develop the SIDSnet Global Network and the SIDS News Wire. Work on these projects began February 17 and will deliver 90% of the features required on completion of phase 1 by 13 March 1998. This will enable us to begin training and implementation of SIDSnet at a regional and national level in April 1998.
The network will initially focus on 3 chapters of the Barbados Plan of Action: Coastal and Marine Resources, Energy and Sustainable Tourism. Eventually all the issues from the POA will be included and hosted on SIDSnet.
6.2 SIDS News Wire
The Internet based news wire submission and distribution. This will be developed together with the Global SIDS Network in item #6.l. This will enable relevant sustainable development press releases to reach stakeholders in all the SIDS via email or WWW access. Regional news services will be invited to participate in disseminating island news throughout the SIDS. Management of regional submissions will remain with the major regional/national stakeholders.
Hewlett Packard has agreed to develop the SIDSnet Global Network and the SIDS News Wire. Work on these projects began February 17 and will deliver 90% of the features required on completion o f phase 1 by 13 March 1998. This will enable us to begin training and implementation of SIDSnet at a regional and national level in April 1998.
6.3 Access
SIDSnet is working with the UNDP SDNP to ensure that all SIDS will have a minimum of e-mail access by December 1998. Joint ventures with a local telecom or ISP will enhance long term sustainability in small island markets.
To date, SIDSnet is working with the Pacific Islands Internet Project to enable connectivity in 3-4. In the Caribbean, SDNP projects in Jamaica and Guyana and the Dominican Republic are near completion and a Haiti SDNP underway. The islands around Africa will include projects in Sao Tome and Principe and Cape Verde which will begin in 1998. National network programmes are underway in Papua New Guinea and Trinidad that will ensure that internet based information and national databases will be available to government, private sector and schools nationwide.
6.4. Training
Regional meeting will be held with key stakeholders to determine regional needs and to discuss the most relevant approach for implementation of the SIDSnet global network in their regions.
National 2-day workshops promoting SIDSnet, teaching web publishing skills and providing general Internet overviews will be held in 30 SIDS. This will exclude developed SIDS and focus on assisting those SIDS that require additional assistance.
6.5. SIDSnet Utilities Fund
A fund to assist critical organizations in the SIDS to jump-start their participation in SIDSnet. Funding will be for small items such as a modem or 12 months Internet account.
6.6. SIDSnet Inter-island Specialists
Initiating cross-regional interaction between SIDS organizations is essential for the SIDSnet vision to materialize. SIDSnet will provide independent funding to jump-start such interaction and support similar activities by Capacity 21 enabling a SIDS expert (from another SIDS region) to address a relevant regional SIDS seminar in a different region.
6.7. SIDSnet Hosting/Mirror - Currently available
Web pages serve as a vital information outlet for SIDSnet stakeholders. Access to these locally hosted pages are limited by the small bandwidth (size of Internet link) available to many SIDS. SIDSnet will provide mirroring and hosting of websites on a faster Internet link in the USA.

Overland Park woman brings music to Renaissance Festival
By JOE HENDERSON
Special to The Olathe News
factbox1-B822325463ZHear the band The Kansas City Renaissance Festival near Bonner Springs opened Labor Day and runs every weekend, rain or shine, through Oct. 14. It's also open on Columbus Day, Monday Oct. 8. Visit www.kcrenfest.com to learn more.
tool nameclose
Liza Zumbrunnen's first attempt at learning to play a trumpet ended in just two weeks.
But she didn't walk away from the instrument for long, and now the Overland Park woman shares her love for music through lessons and a regular gig at the Kansas City Renaissance Festival.
A few weeks after Zumbrunnen, then about 11, told her father that she didn't want him to keep teaching her to play, a band performed for an assembly at her school in Cleveland, Mo. A trumpet was featured on the song "When Johnny Comes Marching Home," and hearing it changed Zumbrunnen's mind.
"I knew right then I wanted to play the trumpet," she recalled. "I went home and told Dad I was ready to start lessons again."
Zumbrunnen soon excelled on the trumpet. When she was a student at Cass-Midway high school she played in the school band and a rock and roll band. She won superior ratings in music contests and area festivals. "I loved playing the trumpet. I also taught myself to play the piano and did some song-writing," she said. "Music was in my genes, I guess."
Fast forward to the present. Zumbrunnen, now 23, lives in Overland Park and is leading her own band, the Gallic Brass, at the Renaissance Festival for the fourth year. She put together the band, consisting of two trumpets and a trombone, while she was a student at MidAmerica Nazarene University majoring in music education. She also gives private trumpet and piano lessons at Meyer Music Co. in Overland Park.
Zumbrunnen joined a jazz band at MidAmerica Nazarene and became acquainted with Lee Hake, a trombone player. He's played with a band called the Bristol Brass at the Renaissance Festival several years early, and he liked her idea for the Gallic Brass. The picked up different trumpeters to fill the third spot in the band until Eric Taylor walked up to the stage a last year's festival and asked to audition.
"Right away he was a good fit and now he's been with Lee and me two years," Zumbrunnen said.
th, a Monday.
Hake and Taylor — both from Kansas City — and Zumbrunnen perform four times each Saturday and Sunday afternoon in a wooded area of the fair. They specialize in Gallic and Celtic music, but they also take requests.
"We interact with the audience, play requests, tell stories, inject a little comedy and banter with the crowd. I especially like it when the audience claps and sings along," Zumbrunnen said. "When we can get together following the Renaissance, we occasionally play other engagements around the Kansas City area, mostly at Irish festivals or events."
Zumbrunnen grew up in a musical family. Her father, Bob Zumbrunnen, accompanied her on the piano when she played trumpet solos at music contests and festivals. Her mother, Robin Zumbrunnen, is a professional singer and helped her daughter with singing lessons.
During the last year Zumbrunnen has made solo performances at area retirement homes.
"I enjoy doing it. I don't have to use an Irish dialect there. I interact with the residents, visit and play the songs they want to hear," she said.

Why do you think there aren't as many vocal leaders as there has been throughout history?
I have been thinking for awhile there is a lack of leadership outside of the politicians. In all other time periods there have been leaders for different causes whom people looked up to and respected such as the obvious examples Ghandi, MLK Jr., Elizabeth Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, etc etc.. Why do you think people aren't put up on the pedestal behind the podium to ignite positive progress anymore? Branching off of that do you think the people in todays world would be accepting of that? Would that style of leadership be good in todays climate?
One of the reasons that i've been contemplating is that whenever someone advocates for change they are viewed as different and they are cast aside because the people don't want to upset the system it seems like. Another major factor i think plays into it is nobody wants to sacrifice. For major groundbreaking change to occur people will need to put there necks on the line for the group, people will get beat up by cops, people will get thrown in jail, and i see that as a key factor in why for lesser or for more "Revolutions" don't happen anymore.
