Enjoy the benefits of staying connected with Microsoft and your fellow alumni
Published: June 17, 2010 | Updated: February 26, 2010 | Current as of 2010
This online version of the Microsoft Standards of Business Conduct has been modified from the original version distributed to our employees. The references to some internal resources and electronic links have been changed to facilitate communications from the public at large.
A downloadable copy of the SBC is coming.
Dear Fellow Employee:
Microsoft aspires to be a great company, and our success depends on you. It depends on people who innovate and are committed to growing our business responsibly. People who dedicate themselves to really satisfying customers, helping partners, and improving the communities in which we do business. People who are accountable for achieving big, bold goals with unwavering integrity. People who are leaders, who appreciate that to be truly great, we must continually strive to do better ourselves and help others improve.
We must expect the best from ourselves because who we are as a company and as individuals is as important as our ability to deliver the best products and services. How we manage our business internally—and how we think about and work with customers, partners, governments, vendors and communities—impacts our productivity and success. It's not enough to just do the right things; we have to do them in the right way.
The Standards of Business Conduct are an extension of Microsoft's values and the foundation for our business tenets. They reflect our collective commitment to ethical business practices and regulatory compliance, and they provide information about Microsoft Business Conduct and Compliance Program. At a high level, they summarize, and are supported by, the principles and policies that govern our global businesses in several important areas: legal and regulatory compliance; trust and respect of consumers, partners, and shareholders; asset protection and stewardship; creation of a cooperative and productive work environment; and commitment to the global community.
These Standards of Business Conduct provide information, education, and resources to help you make good, informed business decisions and to act on them with integrity. In addition, managers should use this resource to foster, manage, and reward a culture of accountability and integrity within their groups. Working together, we can continuously enhance our culture in ways that benefit customers and partners, and that strengthen our interactions with one another. Then we can truly achieve our mission of enabling people and businesses throughout the world to realize their full potential.
All Microsoft employees are responsible for understanding and complying with the Standards of Business Conduct, applicable government regulations, and Microsoft policies. As Microsoft employees, you also have a responsibility to raise compliance and ethics concerns through our established channels. This is the way to ensure that Microsoft is and continues to be a great company of great people.
Steven A. Ballmer
Chief Executive Officer
Our values guide our behaviors and must shine through in all our interactions with each other and our stakeholders. Microsoft employees are great people who share the following values:
Integrity and honesty
Passion for customers, partners, and technology
Open and respectful with others and dedicated to making them better
Willingness to take on big challenges and see them through
Self-critical, questioning, and committed to personal excellence and self-improvement
Accountable for commitments, results, and quality to customers, shareholders, partners, and employees
As responsible business leaders, it is not enough to intend to do things right, we must also do them in the right way. That means making business decisions and taking appropriate actions that are ethical and in compliance with applicable legal requirements. As we make these decisions, the Microsoft values must shine through in all our interactions. The Standards of Business Conduct are an extension of the Microsoft values and reflect our continued commitment to ethical business practices and regulatory compliance.
By following the guidance provided in this publication, we are acknowledging our individual and collective responsibilities to manage our business activities with integrity as we pursue our mission of enabling people and businesses throughout the world to realize their full potential.
The Microsoft Standards of Business Conduct summarize the regulatory requirements and business practices that guide our decision making and business activities. The Standards contain basic information about our policies as well as information about how to obtain guidance regarding a particular business practice or compliance concern. It is essential that you thoroughly review this publication and make a commitment to uphold its requirements.
The Standards of Business Conduct are not intended to cover every issue or situation you may face as a Microsoft employee. Nor does it replace other more detailed policies. You should use the Standards as a reference guide in addition to Microsoft policies, including the Employee Handbook, required for your specific job. For example, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Chief Financial Officer (CFO), Corporate Controller, and other employees of the finance organization must also comply with the Microsoft Finance Code of Professional Conduct. Microsoft reserves the right in its sole discretion to modify or eliminate any of the Standards' contents without prior notice. Individual business units may also adopt standards of professional conduct for their areas. It is your responsibility to be fully aware of these Standards and follow them.
If you are an employee and would like details about a specific policy, please refer to MS Policy. Questions can be directed to the policy contact or owner listed on every policy in MS Policy. If you still have questions after you have consulted the policy contact or owner, you can find additional help (including How To, Checklists, Tutorials and Training, and Related Links) through the Corporate Policy Guide. If you need guidance regarding a business practice or compliance issue, or if you want to report a possible violation, talk to your immediate supervisor, manager, another member of management, your Human Resources Generalist, or your Legal and Corporate Affairs contact.
You may also call the Business Conduct Line at 1(877) 320-MSFT (6738). If you are calling from outside the United States, you may make a collect call to the Business Conduct Line by accessing an international operator and asking to place a collect call to +1(704) 540-0139. The Business Conduct Line is a dedicated, toll-free phone line that is available to you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. It is operated by an external third-party vendor that has trained professionals to take your calls, in confidence, and report your concerns to the Microsoft Director of Compliance for appropriate action.
If you are a Microsoft employee or vendor who wants to send a confidential message to the Director of Compliance but do not have access to our corporate intranet, you may submit a confidential report through the Microsoft Integrity Website.
You may also send a letter to the Director of Compliance at Microsoft Corporation, Legal and Corporate Affairs, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052 or send a confidential fax to (425) 708-7177. Letters and faxes sent to the Director of Compliance may be submitted anonymously if you choose to do so.
If you have a concern regarding a questionable accounting or auditing matter and wish to submit the concern confidentially or anonymously, you may submit a report through the Microsoft Integrity Website, call the Business Conduct Line, or send a letter or fax to the Director of Compliance as outlined above.
Microsoft will handle all inquiries discreetly and preserve confidentiality of anyone requesting guidance or reporting a possible violation to the extent possible and within the limits allowed by the law.
The Microsoft Standards of Business Conduct are a general guide to the company's standards of business practices and regulatory compliance. Its requirements apply to Microsoft Corporation, to all subsidiaries, or affiliates in which Microsoft Corporation directly or indirectly owns more than 50 percent of the voting control ("Controlled Affiliates"), and to all directors, officers, and employees of each. All references to "Microsoft" include Microsoft Corporation and all Controlled Affiliates unless otherwise specified. All references to "employees" include directors, officers, and employees of Microsoft Corporation and its subsidiaries or affiliates.
Failure to read and/or acknowledge the Standards of Business Conduct does not exempt an employee from his/her responsibility to comply with the Standards of Business Conduct, applicable laws, regulations, and Microsoft policies that are related to his/her job.
Microsoft is a global company, and our business operations are subject to the laws of many different countries. Microsoft employees doing business internationally must comply with applicable laws and regulations and uphold the Standards of Business Conduct at all times. Cultural differences or local laws and customs may require a different interpretation of our Standards. If this situation arises, always consult your manager, Legal and Corporate Affairs, or the Director of Compliance before taking any action.
The Standards are not intended to and do not create an employment contract, and do not create any contractual rights between Microsoft and its employees or create any express or implied promise for specific treatment in specific situations. Your employment relationship with Microsoft can be terminated at any time for any reason with or without cause unless otherwise required by local laws outside the United States or a written contract signed by a vice president.
Each day we interact with a variety of individuals and groups—including our customers, partners, competitors, co-workers, shareholders, vendors, government and regulatory agencies, and the communities in which we operate. We are committed to interacting with all of these audiences in a respectful, ethical manner and in compliance with applicable laws and regulatory requirements.
Regulatory Compliance: We are aware of and obey the laws and regulations that govern the global management of our business. We are responsible for understanding these laws and regulations as they apply to our jobs and for preventing, detecting, and reporting instances of non-compliance to a member of Microsoft management, Human Resources, Legal and Corporate Affairs, the Director of Compliance, or the Business Conduct Line.
We manage our business in compliance with laws and regulatory requirements.
International Business Activities: Microsoft acknowledges and respects the diverse cultures, customs, and business practices it encounters in the international marketplace. Microsoft will comply with both the applicable U.S. laws and regulations that govern its operations and local laws wherever it does business.
Bribery and Anti-Corruption: Microsoft prohibits corruption of government officials and the payments of bribes or kickbacks of any kind, whether in dealings with public officials or individuals in the private sector. Microsoft is committed to observing the standards of conduct set forth in the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the applicable anti-corruption and anti-money laundering laws of the countries in which we operate.
Anti-Boycott Requirements: Microsoft complies with U.S. law that prohibits participation in international boycotts that are not sanctioned by the U.S. government. The Global Trade Organization also oversees Microsoft's Anti-Boycott compliance program.
Trade Controls: Microsoft is committed to maintaining compliance with all laws and regulations governing the import, use, export and re-export of its products, components, goods, services and technical data. Microsoft's Global Trade Organization oversees the regulations that are promulgated by the U.S. and certain foreign governments to restrict the import, use and export of certain technology and products, including certain computer software and technical goods and data.
Fair Competition and Antitrust: As a global business, we encounter laws and regulations designed to promote fair competition and encourage ethical and legal behavior among competitors. Antitrust laws and fair competition laws generally prohibit any activity that restrains free trade and limits competition. We conduct our business in compliance with these laws.
Responsible Leadership: We manage our business responsibly in order to maintain the confidence, respect, and trust of our customers, consumers, partners, shareholders, and other audiences. We are committed to acting with integrity, investing in new product development, being responsive and accountable to our customers and partners, and remaining a leader in our field. We understand the responsibility that comes with being a worldwide technology and business leader and accept our unique role in both our industry and the global business community.
We build and maintain the trust and respect of our customers, consumers, partners, and shareholders.
Fair Information Practices: Our business is built around technologies to manage information, and we treat that information with confidentiality and integrity. We are committed to creating a trustworthy environment for Internet users, and continually striving to protect their online privacy is at the core of this commitment. We have adopted privacy practices, developed technological solutions to empower individuals to help protect their online privacy, and continue to educate consumers about how they can use these tools to manage their personally identifiable information while they use the Internet.
Vendors: Microsoft vendors must adhere to the highest standards of ethical behavior and regulatory compliance and operate in the best interest of Microsoft. Vendors are expected to provide high-quality services and products while maintaining flexibility and cost-effectiveness. All vendors are required to read and comply with the Microsoft Vendor Code of Conduct and, when appropriate, train their employees and representatives to ensure that they are aware of expectations regarding their behavior. We do not engage in any unethical or illegal conduct with our vendors. We do not accept incentives such as kickbacks or bribes in return for conducting business with them.
Financial Integrity: We honestly and accurately record and report business information. We comply with all applicable local, state, and federal laws regarding record completion and accuracy. We require that financial transactions be executed in accordance with management's authorization, and recorded in a proper manner in order to maintain accountability for Microsoft assets. Our financial information reflects only actual transactions and is in compliance with Microsoft and other applicable accounting practices. The CEO, CFO, Corporate Controller and other employees of the finance organization are also required to comply with the Microsoft Finance Code of Professional Conduct.
We are responsible stewards in the use, protection, and management of Microsoft assets.
Intellectual Property: We comply with the laws and regulations that govern the rights to and protection of our own and others' copyrights, trademarks, patents, trade secrets, and other forms of intellectual property.
Creation, Retention, and Disposal of Records and Information Assets: We create, retain, and dispose of our business records and information assets, both written and electronic, as part of our normal course of business in compliance with Microsoft policies and applicable regulatory and legal requirements.
Confidential and Proprietary Information: We respect our ethical and legal responsibilities to protect Microsoft confidential and proprietary non-public information and communicate it only as necessary to conduct Microsoft business. We do not use this information for our personal advantage or for non-Microsoft business use, and maintain this confidentiality even after Microsoft no longer employs us.
Third-Party Software: We use software and other content information only in accordance with their associated licenses and/or terms of use. We prohibit the making or using of copies of non-licensed copyrighted material, including software, documentation, graphics, photographs, clip art, animation, movie/video clips, sound, and music.
Insider Information and Securities Trading: In the course of doing business for Microsoft or in discussions with one of its customers, vendors, or partners, we may become aware of material non-public information about that organization. Information is considered "material" if there is a substantial likelihood that a reasonable investor would consider it important in making a decision to trade in the public securities of the company. Individuals who have access to this type of information are called "insiders." We discuss this information on a limited, "need to know" basis internally, and do not share it with anyone outside Microsoft. We do not buy or sell the public securities of a company, including our own, on the basis of such information, and we do not share ("tip") this information with others. Because of the extremely sensitive nature of and severe penalties associated with "insider trading" and "tipping," contact Microsoft Legal and Corporate Affairs before you buy or sell public securities in situations that could be of this nature.
Conflicts of Interest: Microsoft employees are expected to act in the best interests of Microsoft and to exercise sound judgment unclouded by personal interests or divided loyalties. Both in the performance of our duties for Microsoft and our outside activities, we seek to avoid the appearance of, as well as an actual, conflict of interest. If in doubt about a potential conflict, speak with your immediate supervisor, manager, another member of management, your Human Resources Generalist, or your Legal and Corporate Affairs contact.
We promote a diverse, cooperative, and productive work environment.
Openness, Honesty, and Respect: In our relationships with each other, we strive to be open, honest, and respectful in sharing our ideas and thoughts, and in receiving input.
Diversity: Microsoft promotes and supports a diverse workforce at all levels of the company. It is our belief that creating a work environment that enables us to attract, retain, and fully engage diverse talents leads to enhanced innovation and creativity in our products and services.
We are responsible, caring members of the global community.
Citizenship and Community Service: We have a strong and demonstrated commitment to the improvement of society as well as the communities we serve and in which we operate. We encourage the support of charitable, civic, educational, and cultural causes. Our contributions include cash, volunteer time, software, and technical assistance.
Respect for the Environment: Microsoft respects the environment and protects our natural resources. We comply with applicable laws and regulations regarding the use and preservation of our land, air, and water.
The Microsoft Department of Legal and Corporate Affairs is responsible for the overall administration of the company's Business Conduct and Compliance Program and for providing employees with resources and materials to assist them in conducting their business activities in a legal and ethical manner. In administering the program, Legal and Corporate Affairs works closely with Finance, Human Resources, Internal Audit, and Security.
The General Counsel serves as the company's Chief Compliance Officer and has overall responsibility for the management of the program. The General Counsel reports directly to the CEO and, for this purpose, to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. The General Counsel oversees directly an Office of Legal Compliance (OLC). The Director of Compliance, who is part of the Office of Legal Compliance, reports to the Chief Compliance Officer and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors and has the responsibility for the day-to-day administration of the Business Conduct and Compliance Program. This responsibility includes, but is not limited to, applying the Standards to specific situations in which questions may arise and interpreting the Standards in a particular situation.
The Standards of Business Conduct and the Business Conduct and Compliance Program are endorsed by and have the full support of the Microsoft Board of Directors. The Board of Directors and management are responsible for overseeing compliance with and enforcing the Standards of Business Conduct.
Consequence for violations of Microsoft's Standards of Business Conduct may include disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment. Individuals who have willfully failed to report known violations will also be subject to disciplinary action.
Waivers of provisions of the Standards of Business Conduct that are granted to any director or executive officer of Microsoft may only be made by the Microsoft Board of Directors or by Board committee designated by the Board of Directors. Any such waiver that is granted to a director or executive officer will be publicly disclosed as required by NASDAQ listing requirements and applicable laws, rules, and regulations.
It is your right and your responsibility to obtain guidance about a business practice or compliance issue when you are uncertain about what action you should take and to report possible violations of the Standards of Business Conduct.
If you are an employee and would like details about a specific policy, please refer to MS Policy. Questions may be directed to the policy contact or owner listed on every policy in MS Policy. If you still have questions after you have consulted the policy contact or owner, you can find additional help (including How To, Checklists, Tutorials and Training, and Related Links) through the Corporate Policy Guide. If you need guidance regarding a business practice or compliance issue, or if you want to report a possible violation, talk to your immediate supervisor, manager, another member of management, your Human Resources Generalist, or your Legal and Corporate Affairs contact.
If you are a Microsoft employee or vendor who wants to send a confidential message to the Director of Compliance but do not have access to our corporate intranet, you may submit a confidential report through the Microsoft Integrity Website.
If you have a concern regarding a questionable accounting or auditing matter and wish to submit the concern confidentially or anonymously, you may submit a report through the Microsoft Integrity Website, call the Business Conduct Line, or send a letter or fax to the Director of Compliance as outlined above
Microsoft will not tolerate any retribution or retaliation taken against any employee who has, in good faith, sought out advice or has reported a possible violation. However, if any employee makes a knowingly false report of a possible violation for the purpose of harming another individual, that employee will be subject to disciplinary action.
All Microsoft employees are accountable and responsible for understanding and complying with the Standards of Business Conduct, applicable laws, regulations, and Microsoft policies that are related to their jobs. In fulfilling these responsibilities each employee must:
Read, understand, and comply with the Standards of Business Conduct and all Microsoft policies that are related to his/her job.
Participate in training and educational programs/events required for his/her job.
Obtain guidance for resolving a business practice or compliance concern if he/she is uncertain about how to proceed in a situation.
Report possible violations of the Standards of Business Conduct, policies, applicable laws, and regulatory requirements.
Cooperate fully in any investigation.
Make a commitment to conduct Microsoft business with integrity and in compliance with applicable laws and regulatory requirements.

NORTHWOOD, OH (WTOL) - Ryan Hartle, a Northwood firefighter, coped with the devastation after the Millbury tornado by writing a song to express his feelings.
Hartle was one of the first on the scene after the tornado tore through Millbury.
"I was searching for people in houses and the whole time I was like, 'I don't want to see this, this is unreal,'" he said.
He says it was a time filled with chaos and confusion.
"Nobody really knew what to expect. Nobody knew if you were going to find somebody or what you were going to do if you did find somebody."
As he made his way from house to house the realization of how lives were dramatically changed became clear.
"I'd see pictures of families on the ground and that was just ... overwhelming," Hartle said.
It was after finding out that he lost a close friend to the tornado, Bailey Bowman, that Hartle said he needed to express himself. as a musician his outlet of expression was a song. "One day I was just writing and I wanted to get everything off of my chest to find closure."

The stage is set for a patriotic extravaganza along the Susquehanna River as Havre de Grace gears up for its annual Independence Day Celebration Saturday, complete with fireworks and general festivities.
A big parade is also planned in Edgewood on Saturday evening, the centerpiece of the annual Joppatowne-Edgewood Independence Day Celebration.
The Havre de Grace celebration includes a parade and concert Saturday, followed by the fireworks. The city kicked-off is Independence Day observance with a week-long carnival that opened Tuesday.
The carnival runs through Saturday at Tydings Park and will cost $24 for unlimited rides through Friday, or $25 on Saturday. Individual ride tickets are also available nightly. Tickets are available at local merchants, the city's tourism center and the Havre de Grace Activity Center.
After that, the city will roll out its parade and fireworks display.
The parade starts at 2 p.m. on Union Avenue and is dedicated to the memory of Kalman Riegelhaupt, who served as parade chairperson for many years, organizer Carolyn Narvell said.
"We lost Kal this year, but our parade would not have continued without his dedication to the event for decades," Narvell said.
The parade will feature more than 100 majorette or dance units, as well as clowns, color guards, antique vehicles, custom cars and equestrian units.
It will also include about 20 musical units, namely: Havre de Grace High School, Aberdeen High School, the Ravens' Marching Band, John F. Nicoll Pipes and Drums, the Atlantic Watch Pipe Band, Ulster Scottish Pipe Band, the Harford Highlanders Pipe Band, Upper Chesapeake Community Band, Westminster Community Band, Calvert Hall College High School Band, the American Originals, the Reilly Raiders, the Archer- Epler Musketeers, the Fusion Corps, Shenandoah Sound, Carolina Gold, the Lakeshoreman, the Sun Devils, the Tampa Bay Thunder and St. Michael-Albertville High School.
"We have some really interesting music," Narvell pointed out.
Besides the music, a very large cow will roll through the parade as the mascot of Turkey Hill ice cream.
The grand marshal will be former mayor Philip Barker.
Street parking is available for the parade but handicapped parking in Tydings Park is very limited. All activities, aside from the carnival, are free and handicap-accessible.
A concert featuring the classic rock of the Alton Smith Band starts at 7 p.m. in the Yacht Basin and will feature DJ Jeff Thompson as master of ceremonies. That show will continue after the fireworks, until 10:30 p.m.
No rain dates are scheduled.
Narvell said earlier this week that the event was coming together smoothly and she does not expect any issues, including any misbehavior at the carnival.
"We are supported by our total police forces," she said, explaining the Harford County Sheriff's Office and Department of Natural Resources will have a presence as well.
"There is probably going to be 40 police officers during the [Saturday] event," she said. "We have a very large security force and as we said, it's a family event and we expect people to act that way."
She reminded attendees that they cannot set out chairs or blankets before 8 a.m. on Saturday or the items will be confiscated.
"At 8 a.m., it's like a mad rush," Narvell said with a laugh. "We have very, very dedicated spectators. It's a nice family event, that's all."

Code and data files for "Relative Underperformance Alla Turca"
AbstractFrom 1960 to 2003, Turkey has underperformed relative to several Western economies, in terms of hours worked and output per hour. Our sectoral analysis illustrates two points. First, Turkey's large drop in hours is due to the fact that the substantial decline in agricultural hours has not been accompanied by a corresponding increase in nonagricultural market hours. Second, the sectoral composition of output is important for understanding Turkey's relatively weak rise in output per hour. We develop a simple model of structural transformation and home production to provide an account of Turkey's performance relative to the US and Southern Europe. We find that the evolution of exogenous differences in sectoral productivity and taxes, between Turkey and the US, as well as Southern Europe, can account quantitatively for most of Turkey's relative underperformance to these regions.

Until recently, Alfonso Iannelli remained a fringe figure in scholarship about American design history. Today, that's changed to include his name among the first rank of Twentieth-Century designers.
Like Raymond Loewy and Norman Bel Geddes, Iannelli was a major figure in industrial design and he either worked alongside or knew architects Frank Lloyd Wright, Bruce Goff and Erich Mendelsohn or companies Sunbeam, Oster and Prudential. He also was one of the major sculptor/architects who created works for Chicago's World's Fair of 1933.
Even though Iannelli Studios in suburban Chicago's Park Ridge was a major company in the years before World War II, the name of Alfonso Iannelli was virtually forgotten after his death in 1965. But because his archives and remaining artworks were still considered important by a few historians, the Chicago Architecture Foundation saved the contents of his studio in Chicago's Glessner House on Prairie Avenue. There, they remained until they were acquired by a major art gallery and the upward climb of Iannelli's reputation today.
ArchiTech Gallery acquired the bulk of Iannelli's archives shortly after opening in Chicago's River North gallery district fifteen years ago. The gallery's director and owner, David Jameson, published "Alfonso Iannelli: Modern by Design," which helped cement Iannelli's reputation as the creator of sculptures, illustrations and architectural decorations as well as modern appliance design through the Twentieth Century.
ArchiTech Gallery exhibits these design and architecture works in a special show and sale of original material opening January 3rd and continuing through April 26th, 2014.

Charlemagne after Charlemagne 11th Annual Symposium of the International Medieval Society (IMS-Paris)
Deadline: Feb 10, 2014
Call for Papers Location: Paris, France
Dates: Thursday June 26th - Saturday June 28th 2014 Keynote speaker: Dominique Boutet Deadline for submissions: February 10th 2014
The International Medieval Society Paris (IMS-Paris) invites paper proposals and session themes for its upcoming symposium centered on "Charlemagne after Charlemagne."
A looming presence during the Middle Ages and beyond, this Frankish king and emperor, who died in 814, had a cultural afterlife that far exceeded any other medieval historical figure. The symposium for 2014 seeks to examine the medieval reception (and representation) of Charlemagne on the 1200th anniversary of his death, as he became a model sovereign, a literary personage, and a saint. The holy emperor was venerated in a complex though limited manner, resulting in the elaboration of a distinct hagiographical discourse and the composition of a liturgical office.
The literary fortunes of Charlemagne, highlighted as early as 1865 by Gaston Paris, experienced multiple permutations. Latin and vernacular literature (French, Italian, German, English, etc.), produced divergent associations and separate developments, from historical works to chansons de geste. These literary representations went hand in hand with visual portrayals in manuscripts, stained glass, sculpture, and architecture. Charlemagne was also conjured as a figure of pilgrimage and a founder (real or imagined) of monasteries, cities, and universities, attached to these institutions through stories and forged documents to which his name was affixed. The figure of Charlemagne served to construct and define an ideal, which was shaped and reshaped by different eras according to their respective needs.
For its 2014 symposium, the International Medieval Society seeks to mark this anniversary through a reevaluation of Charlemagne's legacy during the medieval period. Although the geographic area of France will be given priority, comparisons with other regional 'Charlemagnes' are certainly possible. We invite papers that deal with material from after Charlemagne's death in 814 to the end of the Middle Ages.
Proposals of 300 words or less (in English or French) for a 20-minute paper should be e-mailed to email@example.com no later than February 10th 2014. Each should be accompanied by full contact information, a CV, and a list of audiovisual equipment you require.
Please be aware that the IMS-Paris submissions review process is highly competitive and is carried out on a strictly blind basis. The selection committee will notify applicants of its decision by e-mail by February 26th 2014.
Titles of accepted papers will be made available on the IMS-Paris web site. Authors of accepted papers will be responsible for their own travel costs and conference registration fee (35 euros, reduced for students, free for IMS-Paris members).
The IMS-Paris is an interdisciplinary, bilingual (French/English) organization that fosters exchanges between French and foreign scholars. For the past ten years, the IMS has served as a centre for medievalists who travel to France to conduct research, work, or study.
For more information about the IMS-Paris and the programme of last year's symposium, please visit our website: www.ims-paris.org.
IMS-Paris Graduate Student Prize
The IMS-Paris is pleased to offer one prize for the best graduate student paper proposal.
Applications should consist of:
1) symposium paper abstract/proposal
2) current research project (Ph.D. dissertation research)
3) names and contact information of two academic references
The prizewinner will be selected by the board and a committee of honorary members, and will be notified upon acceptance to the Symposium. An award of 350 euros to support international travel/accommodations (within France, 150 euros) will be paid at the Symposium.

Call for Applications
DOCTORAL AND POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS FOR THE YEAR 2014 Deadline for applications: 15 January 2014
The Kunsthistorisches Institut in Florenz – Max Planck Institut (KHI
Florenz) and the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin – Stiftung Preußischer Kulturbesitz (SMB) are pleased to announce a call for applications for up to three doctoral or postdoctoral fellowships within the program 'Connecting Art Histories in the Museum. The Mediterranean, Asia and Europe', beginning approximately 1 April 2014.
The fellowship program, directed by Hannah Baader und Gerhard Wolf (KHI Florenz) together with Michael Eissenhauer and Jörg Völlnagel (SMB), aims to strengthen the collaboration between museums and research institutes and to promote projects to be realized in close contact with the objects and collections of the SMB. The fellowships are open to scholars of art history (for example Asian, Byzantine, European and Islamic Arts) and related fields. We seek scholars whose work has a broad horizon and whose interests focus on the artistic and intercultural agency as well as the mobility of ideas, artists and artefacts within the framework and in relation to the program. This also includes research projects dedicated to its historiographical and museographical dimension.
The fellowships will be located in the individual museums of the SMB.
These are actually the Museum für Islamische Kunst (Museum of Islamic Art; Stefan Weber), the Museum für Asiatische Kunst (Museum of Asian Art; Klaas Ruitenbeek, Lilla Russell-Smith), and the Kunstbibliothek (Art Library and Collection of Photography; Moritz Wullen). At the same time the fellows will work as a research group, with joint seminars, workshops and conferences involving museum curators, international experts and scholars/fellows of the KHI Florenz and the 'Art Histories and Aesthetic Practices' program at the Forum Transregionale Studien, Berlin. Working languages are German and English.
Fellowships are for one year, with the possibility of an extension for a second year. The fellowship (including travel expenses) follows the rules of the Max Planck Society. A second fellowship year will be considered upon presentation of the researcher's first year results.
Applications in German or English language should include
- a detailed cv
- a research proposal (max. 5 pages)
- a list of publications and one substantial writing sample
- one letter of recommendation and the name of a second referee
Please send your electronic application as one pdf file (max. 2 MB) by
15 January 2014 to email@example.com
The Kunsthistorisches Institut in Florenz is an equal opportunity employer and particularly encourages applications from women and disabled persons.

Industrial Revolution (1800-1880)
"Let oppression shrug her shoulders,
And a haughty tyrant frown,
And little upstart Ignorance,
In mockery look down.
Yet I value not the feeble threats
Of Tories in disguise,
While the flag of Independence
O'er our noble nation flies." (1)
-Poem in the "Union is Power" strike statement, Lowell MA, Feb. 1834
They were occupied in the work they had traditionally performed on farms before industrialization, as well as in new forms of industrial labor that tended to be in line with those older occupations.
The experiences of African American and immigrant women were different from America-born women of European descent. Gender definitions and the rise of industrialization shaped the labor experiences of all women, but African Americans and immigrants faced the added burdens of racial and ethnic perceptions. As women's labor expanded and changed during the 19th century, women workers in various occupations united into workers' organizations for labor reform.
In rural areas, agricultural labor and labor at home were the major occupations of women. Wives and daughters on farms in the North often gardened and tended livestock, and, during the Civil War, some women took over the management of family farms while their husbands were serving in the army. (2)
In the post-Civil War North, industrialization had mostly overtaken agriculture as the major economic activity, but farming remained crucial to the post-war South's economy. Despite African American women's emancipation from slavery after the Civil War, the vast majority of them remained in the South and continued to perform the same arduous physical labor they had done when they were enslaved, working as sharecroppers on cotton and tobacco plantations. (3)
Navajo Weavers
Women Spinning Thread
The development of textile and garment mills in towns across the Northern United States in the 1810s and 1820s, after New England entrepreneur Francis Cabot developed an American version of the English water-powered loom in 1910, created a new way for women to sell home-made goods in outside markets. During the winter, when there was a lull in farm activity, wives and young daughters wove hats and other cloth goods from factory-spun cotton and made leather shoes and then sold them back to the manufacturer. Spinning and weaving clothes and making shoes for their family members had been a common occupation for farm women since colonial times, but industrialization transformed it into a paid form of labor.

Dr. Howard James's Ratings
The entire atmosphere at this doctor's office is excellent. The young staff members are amazing at how efficient and helpful they are with every patient that walks in the front door. The doctor truly cares about each patient and will spend up to an hour with them if need be. He is thoughtful, checking up on you and even ordering friendly staff members to drive patients home after they are seen by Dr. James. Nothing but good things to say about this office.

Dr.James has been my Doctor now for about five years.When I found him, my previous GP "dumped me"(and a lot of others),in favor of a four thousand per year, private clinic on Howe St. He had nowhere near the proffessional,nor personal approach to medicine as Dr.James has,in my opinion.I consider Dr. James to be a very lucky find for me, and hope to have him for many years to come.I feel that Dr.James is one of the most committed and dedicated doctors I have known in my 66 years.

Dr. James is a terrific doctor. The is very helpful and thorough. He may charge a voluntary fee, but at least he takes the time and doesn't double book like most doctors. Once you are in his office you are in and he is in there waiting....Not like other doctors who keep you waiting in the room for 20 minutes. He also reads reports, and keeps an eye on you. Very caring doctor. I am glad that I found this rare gem

Santa Fe, Texas - A Texas mom could face felony charges for the way she handled her son being shot.
Police say earlier this week the Houston-area woman's 14-year-old son was shot by an older friend.
But instead of taking the teen to the hospital, she went to the computer and searched how to treat a gunshot wound on Web MD.
The woman did eventually take her son to the hospital, seven hours later.
He's currently in stable condition and the shooter is under arrest.

Story time reads February 14 & 16
Published on Thursday, February 16, 2012 - 1:31pm
Ride and Sing. I'm a terrible singer. However, when I sing for my daughter or for a story time group, the kids ask me to sing more. Which means: your child will also love your voice when you sing. If you are shy, try singing in a place with some background noise or in the car. You can sing a familiar rhyme such as "Mary had a little lamb, little lamb, little lamb, Mary had a little lamb whose fleece is white as snow. And everywhere that Mary went, Mary went, Mary went…" As you sing, your child will learn these songs and begin to sing along with you.

It wasn't just another camp practice. You can probably count on one hand how many sessions Aaron Rodgers has missed but when the team trotted onto Ray Nitschke Field under tropical conditiions, number 12 wasn't among them. We had to wait until after the workout to learn why. Mike McCarthy said Aaron was ill and at home but he fully expected his MVP quarterback to practice on Wednesday. When asked if he's concerned the bug might sweep through the locker room, McCarthy quipped, "We all have families, and we're all aware there's something going around and he's probably one of thousands at home with a head cold, he'll be fine."
Without Rodgers, the three amigos behind him on the depth chart got extra reps. Graham Harrell had the luxury of getting first dibs with the starting offense, although he shared several team reps with Vince Young. B.J. Coleman continued to run with the backups and operated the scout team. Regrettably, there were an awful lot of balls that hit the ground. Even McCarthy admitted there were some rough plays but that's why you evaluate practice film. The only extended series with the starters came in the final period, a no huddle drive, engineered, sort of, by Harrell. He was faced with a 4th and short but converted with a short pass to Jarrett Boykin. Harrell finished the series without scoring and he completed just three of seven passes.
It's looking more and more like Don Barclay is you're starting right tackle. After spending much of camp working at guard, both tackles and even center, which was a shotgun snapping nightmare, Barclay is now practicing exclusively at right tackle, with the first teamers.
New to the injury list today was defensive back Loyce Means with an ankle sprain. Casey Hayward and Datone Jones got more reps in team drills today and if they hold up in the only padded practice of the week tomorrow, they'll go against the Seahawks.
The temperature hit 84 degrees at the end of practice, it could push 90 on Wednesday but McCarthy said he's OK working in the heat. He's expecting a hot game in Cincinnati at the end of September and the team really hasn't been stressed weather wise all summer.

Major policy changes are needed to resolve the tension between providing adequate pain relief and tackling the epidemic of prescription opioid overdoses, according to drug policy expert Keith Humphreys, PhD. At the recent American Academy of Pain Medicine meeting, he laid out five policies that can achieve a realistic balance.
"Some of the policies are relatively easy to implement, while others involve changing cultural norms, which is much more difficult," said Humphreys, Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University School of Medicine, and a former Senior Policy Advisor at the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy.
According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, from 1991 to 2009, prescriptions for opioid analgesics increased almost threefold, to more than 200 million. The Drug Abuse Warning Network system, which monitors drug-related emergency department visits and drug-related deaths, found that emergency room visits related to the nonmedical use of pharmaceutical opioids doubled between 2005 and 2009.
The five policies that Dr. Humphreys recommends are:
- Implement prescription monitoring programs. "Some of the initial programs were slow and clunky, but we are now seeing systems, such as the one in New York, that are starting to make a difference," he says.
- Use the reimbursement power of insurance programs to lock "doctor shoppers" into a single prescriber. "If an insurer sees someone have five doctors writing them pain pill prescriptions, they can designate one provider as the patient's pain doctor," notes Humphreys.
- Make prescription recycling a standard practice. "I remember when recycling bottles and cans was considered a strange thing, but now everyone does it," he says. "Prescription take-back days won't be fully effective until they become the cultural norm. Dropping off unused pills needs to be something everyone does when they go to the drugstore."
- Make it easier for drug companies to develop abuse-resistant drugs. "Pharmaceutical companies who are trying to do the right thing need to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to develop a pill that becomes inert when crushed, and then they have to apply for a New Drug Application. We need the Food and Drug Administration to create an accelerated review process for these new formulations."
- Change opioid-related medical practice. "We need to educate patients and providers that opioids are not the only treatment for pain," Dr. Humphreys says. "There are other options, including different types of medications and physical therapy. We also need to educate prescribers in the emergency room and in dental offices that they shouldn't automatically write a 30-day prescription for opioids. They have to start thinking about how much medication a patient really needs."
With so many people dying of prescription drug overdoses, a response of doing nothing isn't an option, he emphasizes. "I tell doctors that change is coming, and they can get involved, or else an uninformed policymaker may do it for them, with some potentially bad results."

Writing-Intensive Course Guidelines
What is a Writing-Intensive Course?
A writing-intensive course is one where writing (formal and informal) is an integral part of learning: that is, students in WIC write not only to demonstrate their knowledge of the subject matter (tests and research/term papers) but are engaged in informal, exploratory writing, writing that they use to push their thinking, to deepen their understanding of the subject matter, to explore questions they have about the subject matter.
In a WI course, the goal is to give students as many opportunities as possible to write (exploratory writing-to-learn using informal formats and writing-to-show-knowledge in formal assignments), to receive feedback from their peers and their instructors during the writing process, and to demonstrate how to write in a particular discipline, understanding the requirements regarding writing styles inherent in that discipline.
WOU students are required to complete a minimum of two WI courses for graduation. Ideally, they should have WIC in the major and the minor - courses where class size is kept to 25 at most. Additionally, at least one of these WI courses should be concentrated in the upper-division (300-400 level) offerings where the subject matter of each discipline is explored in more depth than in the LACC courses and where we can show students how to write in that discipline's style. WR 135 is designated as a pre-requisite for UD WI courses. Departments, then, need to develop and maintain upper-division WIC in the majors/minors they offer. The Director of the Writing Center (Katherine Schmidt) can provide assistance for departments and instructors who are developing WI courses. The Faculty Senate's Writing-Intensive Committee recommends the WIC label for courses, based on statements and syllabi submitted by individuals or departments, going through their curriculum committees.
Objectives of Writing Assignments
Objectives of WI discipline-specific writing assignments over the course of a term should include the following:

Jacks R Better Self Tensioning Lines
Can anyone that has experience with these tell me the reliability of these cords? It looks like they will keep the tarp taut as the fabric stretches, but how would you gauge the initial setting?Thanks :O)
You will figure the initial setting out as soon as you set the tarp up - in the field. You want them to pull the tarp taut but reserve some stretch to respond to wind shock.
> Can anyone that has experience with these tell me the reliability of these cords? I just pulled them medium tight and that was enough to keep the tarp tight all night, even when it rained on the tarp. They also stayed stretchy down to -2F without breaking.
Thanks guys

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD Extended Cab
By KBB.com Editors
Fresh from last year's overhaul that brought a stiffer frame, more powerful Duramax turbodiesel engine and a revised suspension, the Chevrolet Silverado HD trucks continue into 2012 little changed. In the world of powerful work trucks, the domestic manufacturers monopolize the field. The Ram HD and Ford F-Series HD trucks are equally capable, with one or the other claiming best-in-class in any number of categories, separated by no more than a few horsepower or couple more pounds of towing capacity. For many, the choice of an HD pickup truck comes down to a personal preference based on past experiences. If you're a Ford guy, you'll swear you'd never touch a Chevy, even though the 2012 Chevy Silverado HD can out-tow and out-haul the F-350.
If you've been a longtime Chevy HD fan and it's time to trade-in your old outfit, the 2012 Chevy Silverado HD's numerous improvements will help keep you a Chevy loyalist. If you're an old Ram (formerly Dodge) or Ford guy and you aren't happy with your current rig, you might be pleasantly surprised just how capable the Chevy Silverado HD really is.
If you're looking for the most powerful diesel engine in an HD truck, Ram's Cummins diesel engine takes top honors (torque, not horsepower). Those who like a little more upscale flair in their trucks might find the 2012 Chevy Silverado HD's styling and interior décor somewhat on the conservative side. A Ram Longhorn or Ford F-350 King Ranch might be more to your liking.
The 2012 Chevrolet Silverado HD trucks make new strides for 2012, with Chevy claiming best-in-class accolades for maximum fifth-wheel towing, conventional towing and payload.
Driving Impressions Thanks to its torque-heavy 6.6-liter Duramax diesel V8, we found that towing a 10,000-pound trailer behind the 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD truck posed absolutely no challenge whatsoever. The 2012...Chevy Silverado HD's available Duramax diesel develops 397 horsepower and 765 lb-ft of torque (that's more horsepower but less torque than the Ram HD, and less horsepower and torque than the Ford PowerStroke diesel). Despite the difference in power from its main rivals, the Silverado HD still takes top honors in fifth-wheel and conventional towing, as well as payload figures. The Duramax diesel is a bit loud, but you wouldn't know it from inside the passenger compartment. One of our favorite features on the diesel truck is the "smart" exhaust braking setup. The system works by progressively restricting the diesel's exhaust, depending on speed and grade, to help slow the rig with added compression braking. We tested a number of 2012 Chevy Silverado HD trucks, with gas and diesel engines, long and short beds, and basic to plush trim levels. We found all exhibited a firm suspension, good steering ability and fairly compliant ride.
Exhaust braking
This system progressively restricts the diesel's exhaust – depending on speed and grade – to help slow the rig with added compression braking.
Remote starting
A favorite on any vehicle, this available feature is especially appreciated on working trucks that operate in hot and cold weather extremes.
The 2012 Chevy Silverado HD Work Truck has a more utilitarian interior intended to take a bit of a beating, as well as be more user-friendly to glove-clad hands and dirty work boots. The LTZ trims feature a more upscale dash, door panel and seat design better suited to the foreman than the roughneck. The 2012 Chevy Silverado HD truck's interior is peppered with storage compartments of varying sizes, including a big center armrest/console with a flip-up lid on bucket seat-equipped trims. Bench-seat models have a folding center section with storage and built-in cupholders. When properly equipped, a 2012 Chevy Silverado HD truck can serve as a mini rolling office, with such available features as a mobile WiFi hotspot, USB and Bluetooth connectivity, GPS navigation and XM Satellite radio with NavTraffic traffic updates. Multiple power points throughout the cabin ensure you'll be able to power all of your mobile devices.Exterior
The 2012 Chevy Silverado HD trucks are comprised of the 2500 and 3500 (three-quarter-ton and one-ton) models. Both trucks feature a beefed up version of the 1500 truck's grille and front end, with a larger chrome grille and bumpers, and a raised power-dome hood with integrated louvers. The 2500 models offer the option of 20-inch polished-aluminum wheels, while the 3500 can be equipped with a dually rear end. Tire sizes range from 17-inch (dually, or as Chevy spells it, "dooley") to 18- and 20-inch wheels on standard-chassis trucks.
Standard equipment on all 2012 Chevrolet Silverado HD trucks includes 4-wheel-disc brakes with ABS and Intelligent Brake Assist and the 6-speed automatic transmission, while StabiliTrak electronic stability control, Trailer Sway Control and Hill Start Assist (but not Hill Descent Control) are standard on single-rear-wheel (non-dually) models and "smart" exhaust braking comes with the Duramax diesel. Also standard are chrome front and rear bumpers, engine and transmission oil coolers, a driver information center, tilt steering wheel, automatic headlamps and front tow hooks. Standard safety features include front-seat airbags and a high-strength tubular steel frame crossmember that improves crashworthiness.
Optional (or unavailable) on the base 2012 Chevy Silverado Work Truck are such basic amenities as cruise control, power locks, windows and mirrors and a rear-window defroster. The next-level LT trim provides most of those, plus remote keyless entry, a CD player and more, but the rear-window defroster remains optional. The top-of-the-line LTZ trim (available on Extended and Crew Cab models) adds that plus leather trim, power seats and much more. Option packages are available, and other major options include navigation, a CD changer, a rear-seat DVD entertainment system, remote start, premium wheels, a sunroof, a rear backup camera, an integrated trailer brake controller and pelvic/thorax and head-curtain airbags.
The 2012 Chevrolet Silverado HD truck's standard heavy-duty Vortec 6.0-liter gasoline V8 has a cast-iron block, aluminum heads and cam-in-block variable valve timing (VVT), which allows the engine to use late intake valve closing to improve efficiency and achieve an optimum balance of low-rpm torque and free-breathing, high-rpm horsepower. The 2012 Silverado's 6.6-liter Duramax turbodiesel offers significantly more power and torque, "smart" exhaust braking, the Allison 1000 6-speed automatic transmission, and full B20 biodiesel capability. Its NOx emissions are reduced by some 63 percent via a selective catalyst reduction after-treatment system that uses urea-based diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) in a 5.3-gallon tank that needs to be replenished about every 5,000 miles. Given the Duramax's standard 36-gallon tank, you can theoretically drive up to 680 miles between fill-ups, which equates to almost 19 mpg on the highway (unloaded).

Day 1: Puerto Montt/Castro - Chiloe Island
Pickup at the airport of either Puerto Montt or Castro for our transfer to the seaport town of Dalcahue. The town is named after native canoes called "dalcas". Dalcahue is still a thriving maritime centre for fishing, transport and aquaculture with boats of all types and colours at anchor along the waterfront. We can have lunch at the local market where fresh empanadas, fresh fish and island meat is offered. We'll visit the town church – one of 16 UNESCO World Heritage sites on Chiloe before driving through the countryside to the capital of Castro. Here we will see the emblematic "palafito" stilt homes where fishermen and seaweed collectors can park their boats underneath their homes. Castro's San Francisco church is also a UNESCO site and is a soaring gothic-style cathedral exclusively made of wood. We will check into a comfortable hotel located inside one of the palafitos; offering impressive views over the estuary. Overnight in Castro.
(Included meals: lunch)
Day 2: Castro - Quemchi - Aucar Island
After breakfast we will visit the bustling local market of the city. Seaweed, smoked shellfish, fresh vegetables, and hand made cheeses are all on display. We will then drive an hour to the small fishing hamlet of Quemchi, whose brightly painted boats lay at anchor along the waterfront. Further south of the village we will find the Isla Aucar, "Island of Sailor's Souls". Accessible only by a footbridge, the island is a small botanical garden planted by a long standing priest who ran the chapel grounds. Continuing down the coast through the forests and farmlands, we will visit small fishing villages where wooden boat building and a life at sea are still frequent. UNESCO churches dot this coast, reminders of the area's missionary past when the Jesuits and Franciscans arrived with the first Spaniards in the XXI century. Optional lunch in local restaurant or family. In the evening we'll return to Castro. Overnight in Castro.
(Included meals: breakfast, lunch)
Day 3: Quinchao - Castro - Puerto Montt
Today's excursion will be a short ferry ride away to visit the second largest island of the archipelago, Quinchao. The road goes along a high ridge in the middle of the island, offering panoramic views of the other islands of the archipelago and the glacier topped Andes to the East. The small town of Achao is home to the oldest of all the wooden churches- an intricately decorated and painted building made of the finest wood on the island. After lunch (not included) we will make our way back to Chiloe Grande and drop-off at the local airport or transfer back to Puerto Montt.
(Included meals: breakfast)
