Graduate Courses
|SI750/751 Competition, Innovation & Strategy
|"Competition, Innovation, and Strategy" is an integrative course designed to capitalize on your understanding of Finance, Operations Management, Marketing, and other functional issues. The course draws on a number of academic disciplines, especially economics, organization theory, and sociology, to build a fundamental understanding of how and why some firms achieve and sustain superior performance. We also study why some firms persistently generate returns that are lower than average. The course is analytically focused and requires that you evaluate both the external environment and the internal capabilities of organizations. Corporate diversification and global management are important topics that are also featured.
|Prerequisites: OB712/713, AC710/711, MK723/724, OM725/726
|SI874 Entrepreneurial Sales Strategy
|Focusing on sales strategy and execution as one of the most critical success factors in building entrepreneurial ventures, the course will enable students to develop the practical knowledge and specific skills necessary to maximize top-line revenue growth for emerging companies. Topics to be covered include direct, indirect and channel sales strategies; implementing pipeline management principles and forecasting techniques; the use of technology in selling; building a sales organization; and the development of strategic partners and alliances. Also covered are the use of sales tools and skills (presentation, negotiation, territory management, and pipeline development), building successful channel partners, and the keys to successful selling including solution selling vs. product selling.
|Prerequisites: MK723/724
|SI814 Intellectual Property Strategies in Life Sciences and Technology
|This course covers the ways in which companies use intellectual property to protect their investments in knowledge assets. Traditionally a concern for technology-intensive businesses, patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets have become important business tools throughout the knowledge-based economy. A good understanding of what IP assets are and how they work has become essential for managers in all types of organizations. This is not a law course, nor a ―how-to‖ manual – rather it is intended to develop your analytical understanding of fundamental economic and legal aspects of intellectual property systems, and how they drive competition and strategy.
|Prerequisites: OB712/713, MK723/724, QM716/717, AC710/711, FE721/722, or permission of the instructor.
|SI830 Corporate Strategies for Growth
|This course will examine strategies for firm growth that involve expanding the range of the firm's business activities. We will study strategic logics underlying vertical integration, franchising, related and unrelated diversification, alliances, corporate venturing and spinouts, and other such strategies. We will also study the management challenges associated with these strategies, including designing organizational structures and managerial incentives, managing acquisitions, structuring supplier relationships, and fostering organizational cultures.
|SI831 Employer Consulting Project I
|For PEMBA students who want to leverage their dual roles as student and employee, this course will allow them to utilize and apply their MBA learning to work on a strategic issue for their current company. The scope, objectives, milestones and deliverables of the project are to be agreed upon by the student, his/her employer and faculty advisor for the course. Periodically over the course of the project the student will have one on one session's with the professor to report on their progress and receive counseling and feedback in addition to group sessions with other PEMBA students taking SP831 for peer coaching, support and to exchange ideas.
|SI832 Employer Consulting Project II
|This course is a continuation of SP31 and is for students who are working on a strategic issue with considerable depth and breadth. Due to the possible confidential and sensitive nature of the project at this point there will be no more peer meetings or discussion of the project progress. The deliverables and milestones for this course were agreed to during the project approval phase for SP831.
|SI847 Investing in Sustainable Technologies
|Investing in Sustainable Technologies introduces students from all backgrounds to the broad issues underlying global sustainability challenges resulting from population growth, resource scarcity, environmental degradation and climate change; emerging technological solutions to those challenges in food supply, water/sanitation, energy, healthcare industries/sectors; and, the structure, operations and methods of the global venture capital industry. The class will take the role of a global venture capital firm and the students will take the perspective of the ―deal sourcing team within the firm seeking to develop a portfolio of early stage, sustainable technologies investments. Students will work in teams focused on specific industries/sectors of interest and identify attractive investment opportunities within the industry/sector. Students will then search for and identify an array of breakthrough technologies related to that sector, connecting emerging innovations from the research lab with market needs/opportunities and assessing attractiveness and commercial feasibility of each, thus collectively crafting a diversified portfolio of sustainable technology-based investments. The course is intended for students with limited/no prior background in sustainability, sciences or technologies. Students with prior experience will make significant contributions to the class from their experience in their field while broadening their knowledge across the full spectrum of topics studied. Formerly "Inventing a Sustainable Future," students who took that course may not take this one.
|SI851 Entrepreneurship
|The course explores the characteristics of entrepreneurs, entrepreneurial thinking, and the entrepreneurial process. There are two themes. The first focuses on idea generation, testing the feasibility of the idea in the marketplace, and raising the necessary capital and human resources to achieve a successful start-up venture. The second focuses on a series of dilemmas faced by most entrepreneurs: building an innovative enterprise, use of strategic alliances, attracting funding and managing venture capitalist, setting growth, market, and geographic reach goals, expansion vs. exit, managing intellectual property, contracts, and lawyers, and knowing when to stop. A feasibility study for a new entrepreneurial venture is central to the course. This is a team project with an oral presentation made at the end of the semester.
|Prerequisites: AC710/711, OB712/713, QM716/717, MK723/724, FE721/722
|SI852 Starting New Ventures
|This course focuses on the process of identifying and obtaining the necessary resources to launch an entrepreneurial venture through the development of a business plan. A well-written business plan will communicate the business concept in a way that attracts the various resource providers necessary for the venture's success. Students will individually develop a business concept and prepare and present a professional business plan. Replaces SP852.
|Prerequisites: QM716/717, OM725/726, MK723/724, FE721/722
|SI853 Entrepreneurial Management
|This course explores the changing demands that a business places on the entrepreneur as it moves from start-up through its phases of growth. The skills, competencies and perspectives required to manage the organization through its growth are considered. There is also a special emphasis on the process of developing the financial resources necessary to fund the venture's growth. This course will help the student integrate prior learning to perform analyses, considering the strategic, financial, operational, marketing and organizational dimensions of managing the venture. Teams of students will interview CEO's of entrepreneurial companies to explore and report on the demands and challenges their respective organizations present.
|Prerequisites: QM716/717, OM725/726, MK723/724, FE721/722
|SI854 Entrepreneurial Finance
|The focus of SP854 is on the development of financial and business skills to identify, evaluate, start and manage new ventures. A comprehensive understanding of finance is an essential ingredient in the "recipe" for business success. No longer can the assumptions underlying financial projections be treated as "black boxes." In many cases, the answer is less important than the analytical process used to calculate it. Readings for the course will primarily be in the form of case studies, and will be supplemented by guest speakers, presentations, and readings from academia and industry.
|Prerequisites: AC710/711 and FE721/722
|SI856 International Entrepreneurship
|This course focuses on international entrepreneurship, covering the development of skills to identify, evaluate, start and manage ventures that are international in scope. Specific topics will include market entry, forming alliances, managing growth and cross-border financing in different regions of the world. Support from local governments and the cultural, ethical, legal, and human resource issues facing the entrepreneur will also be discussed. Readings will primarily be in the form of case studies and will be supplemented with outside articles and guest speakers. Team projects addressing current events, international negotiations, and business strategies will be used to integrate the course material.
|SI859 Strategy Implementation
|Gain the skills and know-how to manage up and across your organization, passing the normal organizational tests along the way from technical expert to cross-functional integrator to directing the future course of your organization. This is strategy implementation for the middle manager who needs to 1) size-up the situation and 2) determine how to gain the power needed to achieve their objectives. One of the qualitative factors that will be explored in great detail is personal style choice vis à vis different stakeholders and organizational politics and the resultant perceptions of you and your programs. Students will study both successful and less-successful managers through cases and readings, honing their own, personal managerial style. Replaces SP859.
|Prerequisites: OM725/726, MK723/724, FE721/722
|SI863 Strategic and Financial Analysis and Design
|The purpose of this course is to increase students' awareness of what they already know about business and what they can know through strategic corporate financial analysis. Students will use numeric thinking and documentation to reduce uncertainty and to bring the strategic and limiting factors of managerial decisions into focus. The course is appropriate for students who have financial savvy as well as those who want to develop their analytical capabilities. It is case-based, emphasizing business sense first, and developing through first-hand experience a sense of the strengths and limitations of corporate financial data, financial theory and strategic evaluation models. It stresses fast approximate analysis to achieve managerial insights over precise calculation.
|Prerequisites: OB712/713, AC710/711, FE721/722, QM716/717, FE727/730, IS710/711, MK723/724, OM725/726, SP750/751.

Louisville Fire
LouisvilleKY.gov Links
The Louisville Fire & Rescue's Suppression Bureau is made up of women and men who risk their lives daily to keep the residents of our community protected. During a year the division will responded to around 10,000 calls for assistance related to fires and 18,000 medical runs.
There are currently four districts within the City, each having a District Chief that oversees operations within his/her district. Suppression bureau personnel staff 18 engine companies, six truck companies, three quint companies and one quad company. All of the suppression companies have FF/EMT's or FF/Paramedics assigned to them. They respond to medical emergencies in support of the ambulance crews, often arriving prior to the ambulance. These members are well trained, highly skilled, and are provided with the latest medical equipment such as the automatic external defibrillator, which is used to resuscitate cardiac arrest victims.
The suppression bureau does not limit its services to emergency response. Each company in this bureau develops target hazard surveys and conduct water flows for critical buildings and facilities in their districts. Its members are deeply committed to working with the community in their respective neighborhoods. Community Involvement is a concept embraced by all suppression members. Mentoring children in the school system, working in food kitchens for the homeless, developing a relationship with critically ill patients in area hospitals and providing assistance on housing projects for the underprivileged are just a few of the projects to which members are committed.

South African named Everton's Player of the Month.
Steven Pienaar
Steven Pienaar has been named Everton's player of the month for December 2012.
The South African midfielder was an ever-present for the Blues during the final month of last year, scoring three goals in games against Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham United and Chelsea.
The 30-year-old has continued his fine form at the start of 2013, helping the Club progress through to the FA Cup fifth round and maintain their hunt for Champions League qualification.
Most recently, Pienaar scored his fifth goal of the season against Bolton Wanderers at the Reebok Stadium last weekend.
He collected his award at a special lunch at the Hilton Hotel in Liverpool City centre on Thursday.
He told evertontv: "I'm pleased. November wasn't a good month personally but the manager stuck with me. I had to pay him back and in December I did my best.
"January has also been a good month. We haven't lost and we want to keep on going in the right direction and picking up points. Hopefully we can go all the way in the cup as well."
Tickets for Saturday's visit of Aston Villa are still available. To buy, click here or call 0871 663 1878.
Alternatively, visit the Park End Box Office at Goodison Park, Everton Two in Liverpool One or Ticket Quarter in Queen Square.

Supporting families in their diversity of form and need is a priority in most nations and requires a skilled and highly educated workforce capable of working with complex issues in varied cultural, social and political contexts. The Graduate Certificate in Family Studies (GCertFamStud) provides students with comprehensive multi-disciplinary knowledge and skills to undertake policy development and service delivery directed towards strengthening families. The programs cater to the needs of people transitioning from a generalist degree into professional roles, those already working as practitioners and/or managers in family services, or those looking to build careers in policy or practice in the field of Family Studies. Throughout the program, students will be provided with several opportunities to integrate and apply the knowledge and skills required for successful professional roles in this field. Students have the option of an industry based project that provides a pathway into the international and domestic family services sector. Students will also have an opportunity to develop an understanding of research methodologies as they apply to practice fields related to Family Studies.
Additional Application Requirements
An applicant holding acceptable academic or professional qualifications at a Diploma level or higher and extensive relevant work experience may be eligible for admission. These qualifications and experience would need to be approved by the Pro Vice Chancellor, Faculty of Health for eligibility for special entry.
If you are applying based on a qualification other than a completed Bachelors Degree (eg. Diploma) please submit a current copy of your curriculum vitae (CV), listing full qualifications and experience, directly to GradSchool. Your CV can be uploaded during the online application process.
The Graduate Certificate in Family Studies draws on the research and practice expertise of the University's internationally renowned Family Action Centre, Discipline of Family Studies, School of Health Sciences, Faculty of Health. As a Centre engaged in the provision of family programs, research and policy advocacy, the Family Action Centre is well positioned to provide theoretical and practical education that will equip graduates for leading roles in family work positions or for the application of Family Studies in other professional roles in fields where understandings of families are important. The School of Health Sciences is one of the most comprehensive tertiary education providers for the health professions. The University of Newcastle is one of the leading suppliers of online postgraduate coursework in Australia, providing student-focussed support and online assistance to more than 3,000 students from over 60 countries.

The office of House Speaker David Ralston just pushed out this statement:
"Upon receipt of the report from the Department of Revenue, House Ethics Committee Chairman Joe Wilkinson delivered the report to me. Legal counsel and I have reviewed the report, in conjunction with the law, and only one House member has not filed a personal income tax return with the Department of Revenue for tax year 2008.
As provided by law, Chairman Wilkinson will conduct an appropriate investigation consistent with the rules of the House Committee on Ethics and report the findings to me."
The single House member was not identified. Last year, at least 19 House and Senate members received the letters. All of the senators and all but three House members were able to clear up the Revenue Department's concerns or paid their outstanding tax bills, plus penalties, legislative leaders said.
For instant updates, follow me on Twitter.

Everyone should pay their taxes especially people in elected office.
If taxes are not paid for 2008 that house member should be named and removed from office, if not the taxpayers need to look very closely at the house members who it would seem is protecting one of their own.
February 24th, 2010

Name names and file ethics charges. Also treat the legislator as they would treat a "regular citizen" who didn't file a tax return.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I, personally, highly recommend TourGuide over Quest Helper.
Quest Helper does not tell you the most efficient route to complete quests in a zone. It simple tells you a route to go to complete all of your quests. It does not account for the next quest in the series or even for new quests you can pick up, and this is a major flaw. TourGuide, on the other hand, is a hand-written guide for each zone. It is highly efficient and presents an excellent path to knock out all of the quests in a single zone.

On my way to see "Planet of the Apes"
Today's newspaper gave it excellent reviews (3 1/2 stars out of 4). Here goes….
"Free yo mind & yo ass will follow…"—George Clinton
—peep my iBook—iBrotha.com—for the ladies...
A movie where apes evolved from men?!?! They did it! They finally did it! Damn them! Damn them all to hell!
Oh, sorry, I channeling Charlton Heston through the Northwestern sweatshirt next to my Civil War-era Henry rifle.
Work is the curse of the drinking classes.
- Oscar Wilde
Actually, they used that Heston line in the middle of the movie, verbatim
Spoiler: as for the ending. I hated it. It so contrived; it was a shameless set up for a sequel(s).
It was a very interesting twist on the 1968 original (btw, the producer of this movie also produced the original).
But it did leave me wondering about the ending, but I will save it until others have watched it…

I heard that the director, Tim Burton, was forced by his contract to leave some kind of opening for a sequel. This Planet of the Apes movie was not made to be a remake of the original, but was totally reimagined by the director. I've heard rave reviews about the movie, and I am gonna see it soon (I hope).
Signatures are for geeks…. I'm a geek.
Semi-off-topic: Who has seen Jurrasic Park 3? Is it any good?
I have seen it (Jurassic Park 3), and it is awful. Way too many things go unexplained (besides the obvious "creation" of dinos). I could point out all of its shortcomings, but you'd have to have seen it first.
I went and saw it today… it wasn't great but I don't think it was horrible either. You are right about some things being left unexplained.

Caught the ape movie on Sunday. I was expecting just your typical summer popcorn-movie fare (a genre I personally look forward to every year) so I was pleasantly surprised. Very entertaining with outstanding makeup effects (and I even enjoyed the ending with its blatant sequel setup—but what fun possibilities for that sequel! )
Of course the viewing itself just reinforced my desire to have a dedicated movie room when it comes time to build a house.
Really, how tough is it to turn your cell phone off in the theater? I carry one constantly and it's just reflex (and why, when one rings, it's always set to the dorkiest musical ring possible?)
And hard as it is to believe, this was the first time I've run into someone using a laser pointer during the movie (but then, after the third incident, it was also the first time I had to yell at someone to knock it off, too )

I saw Planet of the Apes last week at the Uptown movie theater in D.C. (For those who've never been, it's one of the best theaters on the east coast. It's a movie palace that seats over 800 people. Fantastic!)
The movie was really fun. I saw it in good company in an awesome theater, so I enjoyed it. But it is, fundamentally, retarded. As I said to my friend afterward, "I feel like I should have a lot to say about that movie; I just don't." And what the hell was up with that ending?
Still, I'm glad I saw it. After all, how can you argue with hot women (some made up to be hairy and funny-lookin') and Mark Wahlberg (sp?) beating around apes with super-powers?
btw, Rodney, that was Charlie H. himself (made up as an ape) delivering his line from the original. Ah, the irony!

I too thought that Planet of the Apes was good. I went and saw it today. I agree that the ending was blatantly setting up a place for a sequel to start, but that's okay because I wouldn't mind seeing another one.
I just saw it last night. I hated it. I thought it was funny because I was often laughing about how stupid it was. Well actually I didn't mind that it was stupid but rather that it was so predictable through and through. I guess I shouldn't have expected to go and see a Planet of the Apes "sequel" and have it not be stupid or predictable.

On Dec. 12 at 7 p.m., the Chevy Chase Library welcomes local sci-fi author Bill Gourgey, who will discuss Nu Logic, the second book in his acclaimed Glide Trilogy.
Published on Friday, November 15, 2013
The Chevy Chase Neighborhood Library will continue its popular book discussion series this November, the theme of which will be "Classics Revisited." Italo Calvino once wrote that a classic "is a book that has never finished saying what it has to say." Therefore, whether you are reading the books on this list for the first time or rereading them we should all come away from the experience having discovered something new.
We will be looking at these classics through the lens of authors and scholars who have an intense and passionate interest in a particular classic work. In addition to reading classic texts, we will be reading works that argue for the work's importance and its continued resonance in modern life. We will also be hearing from local experts who have personal connections to the work we will be examining.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I agree, $55 is way too much. Blizzard has plenty of subscribers (11 million?) and should be able to make it lower than that. I dont believe it really takes a "LOT OF WORK" like the guy who replied to this comment, but who knows? Nobody knows except the Blizzard employees who deal with it really. I still doubt its all that difficult if they have a process in place for doing so, which they do since they are selling it. I guess im just a cheap jerk because to me $30 is too much. I would probably just level a character to 80 on a new server before paying that kind of money.
On a side note I found it odd that so many people wanted to be a Blood Elf if they moved to the Horde.

Signed by Don Cheadle, Noam Chomsky, Cornel West, Tavis Smiley, Carl Dix, and others. This is a statement that the murder of Trayvon Martin and the 2.4 million in prison make clear that there is a whole generation of Black and Latino youth marked a "generation of suspects" to be murdered and jailed. This is not an issue for Black people alone but for all who care about justice; it is not a random tragedy.

Facebook Phone
A long-rumored smartphone project from Facebook that officially debuted in April 2013 not as a standalone mobile device but instead as a collection of Facebook apps for use on Android-powered smartphones. While still referred to by some pundits as Facebook Phone, Facebook's official moniker for the service is Facebook Home.
Facebook Phone brings the social network's most popular features to the front and center of an Android user's smartphone, providing a stream of Facebook posts, photos and links on the phone's home screen or lock screen.
While Facebook is rumored to be working with Apple to create a version of Facebook Home for the iPhone, most believe that Facebook doesn't have any plans to create its own Facebook Phone mobile device.

Dr. Mary H. Perdue
Food allergies are a significant clinical problem, with symptoms including diarrhea, vomiting, or systemic anaphylaxis. To elicit allergic reactions, antigens must first cross the intestinal epithelium. The purpose of my studies was to examine macromolecular transport across intestinal epithelium, and the effect of sensitization and immune activation on transepithelial antigen transport. Rats were sensitized to a model protein antigen, horseradish peroxidase (HRP) by injection with adjuvants. Intestinal segments were removed and mounted in Ussing chambers for the study for transepithelial movement of HRP. Electon microscopy analysis of HRP transport showed that specifically sensitized rats transported HRP across the epithelium in greater amounts, and more rapidly, than naive controls or rats sensitized to an irrelevant antigen. After the hypersensitivity response, there was a significant increase in HR flux across the intestinal epithelium in HRP sensitized, but not control rats. This was accompanied by an opening of the epithelial tight junctions to allow paracellular flow of antigen. Sensitized mast cell deficient rats also had an enhanced initial uptake of antigen, but did not develop a non-specific decrease in epithelial barrier function. The role of interleukin-4 (IL-4) in the regulation of transepithelial antigen transport was examined. Treatment of human epithelial monolayers with IL-4, or with serum from atopic patients, caused a significant increase in transepithelial transport of HRP. Antibodies against IL-4 abolished the effect of atopic serum on transepithelial HRP transport. Electron microscopy analysis showed an increase in both transcellular and paracellular HRP transport. These studies show that transepithelial transport of antigen is profoundly altered by sensitization, and that mast cells and interleukin-4 enhance the delivery of antigen across the intestinal epithelium.

Last night I was at McDonald's with one of my friend's and that man started to randomly ask us questions like "how old are y'all?" And "do yall have boyfriends?" At first we were like what, why is he asking us and then five minutes later he said " You know.. I have been married to the most amazing woman in the whole world for 52 years and we've been together for 55. But I don't think there's ever going to be another year after tonight or tomorrow night" ..by this time we just turned to him and starting listening to him. "You see, my sweet lady is in the hospital right now, she has cancer. I just came back from there right now and even with all of the tubes, she still looks so beautiful. Tomorrow is certain to be her last day if it doesn't happen tonight and Im not going to church in the morning because I want to spend every waking moment with her by her side. I love her so much.. it hurts. I don't know what I'm going to do without her. I don't want to be without her." ..by this time he had tears in his eyes, got up with struggle and said " well it was nice talking to you ladies, but I have to go home to the dark to prepare and give this cheeseburger to my puppy." And that was it, we just listened to him, and he left. This whole day I've been bothered because I have been complaining about how I can't finish some damn essay while this man is about to or just lost his whole world.

Do you not understand that everytime you "jokingly" call me a bitch, I don't take it as a joke. It hurts even thought you claim it's a joke. Especially when you say it around your friends and to your family. It's getting old and I'm fed up with it. I wanna say that if it doesn't change I'm out, but we both know that's never gonna happen. I care about you way too much to ever walk away. And that's my problem here.

Plus a junior who Rhoads says is at the same level
All of them.
Paul Rhoads' players never quit.
(They just disappear offseason)
Cyclone Nation (the crowd) JTS will be loud.
Not Defense. But this guy:
Urgency, Rhoads said. Thats exactly what I told our staff. Its exactly what I told our players. Urgency in getting your job done. Thats in a 100 percent rate of speed at executing your responsibility whether its a fit, whether its a tackle, whether its a route, whether its a cut-off block. Everybody needs a little bit more urgency in coaching and playing.
To expound on Aclones "all of them" comment:
Linebackers are often mentioned as one of the top groups in the country. Not here, but any national pubs that actually mention ISU. Our secondary has been really good, extremely physical and tight on coverage, but they have made a few bad reads, usually on seam routes. The D-line had been good, not spectacular. However, with their depth, they are just as fresh in the 4th as they are in the 1st.

God moves in a mysterious way, his wonders to perform, something for our newly evangelical Prime Minister to think about. Dave's bacon could actually be saved by a very substantial Ukip vote at the Euro elections. If Ukip do well, they will do well at the expense of Labour, as well as the Tories.
To think the question can be answered yes or no is surely to keep the analysis at Sunday school level. How to describe a country is always going to be complex. A 'Christian country' might be many things...
Cameron's sincerity isn't the issue here though - in this instance it isn't unfair to say he has none, it's political manoeuvring at its most palpable. The real question is whether it is in the church's best interests to succumb to his seductive eulogy.
By highlighting Christian 'virtues' of responsibility, hard work, charity, compassion, humility - is he suggesting that other groups don't have those virtues? If so most people will not believe him. If he is acknowledging (in among the rather confusing language) that most people share these virtues - again, why highlight the Christians? Many Christians are indeed hard-working, compassionate and modest but so are many non-Christians and even many people with no faith! Christians do not have the monopoly on being moral and doing good...
It is wrong for David Cameron to single out Christians for special praise, to offer them privileged access to Downing Street and to support an expanded role for Christian groups in providing essential public services.
Again and again in the past few years, more and more politicians have been joining church leaders in popping up to declare that Britain is a Christian country, that we ought to be proud of this fact, and that we ought to proclaim and promote it.
Religion tends to remain in the background of British politics, and until recently David Cameron was no exception. There was a time, back in 2008, when Cameron compared his religious faith to 'the reception for Magic FM in the Chilterns: it sort of comes and goes.'
When the House of Commons voted to reject military action to protect the citizens of Syria from tyranny - both political and religious - MPs plunged this country, and the world, into the terrifying situation that exists in the region today. Non-intervention has cost Britain and NATO respect on the international stage...
Interesting, around this time, David Cameron sought to come out as being an "evangelical Christian", and criticising those who did not share his beliefs. While the last census in 2011 showed that just over 59% of the population in the UK self-identify as being of a Christian faith, it did lead me, as a lapsed Catholic, to ask: What exactly does he mean?
I do hope this piece of right wing vitriol sits squarely with the delightful Christian values of Cameron's Christ-like aspirations. Oh, and Happy Easter... One suspects that we should all be grateful that the benevolent Government and right-wing press have had a day off from victimising the poor... Oh, wait...
There's no monopoly on victimhood and no fixed pattern to religious discrimination and violence. Despite what David Cameron says, Christians aren't unique in being persecuted, and nor are they always unblemished when it comes to dishing out the persecution.
I realise that that seems like an especially surprising statement given that the deficit has come down by a third, our balance of trade is improving, there are more people in work than ever before, unemployment and youth unemployment is coming down, and growth rates have surpassed expectations and are predicted - by the IMF amongst others - to continue to do so.
Maybe the Conservatives have realised that the riches offered through Jesus' love and compassion are the only viable option left open to them in seeking to fill the gap left as a result of their benefit cuts. Maybe Britain under the Conservatives will become a Christian country again...maybe I was wrong !
The Prime Minister has chosen Lanzarote for his holiday break - how very wise of him. Despite its "lanzagrotty" associations, this Canary Island is perfect for families and has loads to do.
David Cameron said when he came to power he wanted to improve people's happiness - that government policy was to be more focused on those things that make life worthwhile. To this end, the Cabinet Office has recently revealed which jobs in the UK give us the most satisfaction. Top of the list, of 274 job titles, is vicar; bottom of the list, is pub landlord. It is perhaps a surprise that these two jobs should be at opposite ends of the table given that they share many similarities: they both have dwindling regulars, both dish out wine and nibbles and if you spend a long time in either's establishment, you can think imaginary people are talking to you.
I have a very simple message for MPs after the events of the past few days: if you want to be respected, behave respectably. If you don't want us to have contempt for you, don't behave contemptibly. I mean, how difficult is it to behave like decent, law-abiding human beings? No cheating, no lying, no stealing from taxpayers... Too few MPs, it seems, have bothered to remember the old adage: Be nice to people on your way up, because you'll need them on your way down.

Atheism is the disbelief in any God or deities but does that include a creative energy form we perceive or call a God?
Atheism shouldn't be confused with agnosticism as agnosticism relates to doubting the existence of God because we can't prove if a God exists or not but atheism just doesn't doubt the existence of Gods & deities but refutes their existence period without evidence to the contrary.
I suppose I'm agnostic however I do believe we have come from an intelligent creative energy form of some kind, unless proven to the contrary that's what I think at this time in my life & of course I could be wrong like anyone else.

Apr 29 2013: Good to see we've solved the problem of atheism.
I'm sure most of my friends would call me an atheist, because I don't use the concept of gods for anything other than historical, social, or psychological discussions. As a subject of discussion, however, belief in gods is actually very interesting to me, though I'm constantly surprised at the number of people that seem to believe in only one god. That seems very limiting.
I've spent much of my life working in the natural sciences, and it seems to me that neither science nor any other discipline will ever "prove" either the existence or non-existence of gods, Richard Dawkins' folly notwithstanding. If gods are (or "If God is") transubstantial, immaterial beings, it would seem that a scientific program to determine their existence would need to be able to measure the transubstantial and immaterial, a tall order that I don't see coming down the pike. So we seem to be left with believing or not believing, as each individual chooses.
I - the atheist - am not at all opposed to a belief in God, to the degree that the belief aids someone who has a need for a being that gives comfort in pain and who will hear their difficulties. That can be of great help to many, and I don't see a problem with it. I do have a problem with the fact that organized religions have divided mankind into camps that are willing and anxious to kill one another for their gods. People seem to have forgotten that Belief means just that - belief. Not fact, not truth, but belief. It should always be held with a measure of uncertainty and doubt, and it never justifies harming those who believe differently.
To those who see a grand intelligence as the logical answer to "What made the universe?" I would say that logic would further demand that we ask, "What made this grand intelligence?" Etc, etc. The churches answer, "It's a mystery." Perhaps that's the only answer we can manage: It's a mystery.

"Always classy, this blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Malbec shows richness and complexity. The flavors change constantly, suggesting blackberries, sweet plums, espresso, herbs and chocolate. The tannins are a wonder, soft and gentle."-Wine Enthusiast
Since 1978, Marlstone has been produced from a specific block of designated Alexander Valley vineyards. Originally, Marlstone was a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot until the more recent introduction of several other Bordeaux varieties — Malbec, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. In the spring, after all the red wines have completed malolactic fermentation and have been racked several times, we evaluate the samples of each wine from the Marlstone vineyard and determine which ones exhibit the rich flavors and elegant balance that are the hallmark of Marlstone. The varietal makeup of the blend differs from vintage to vintage.
Marlstone is designed to be an elegant satisfying wine and this vintage is no exception. The addition of Malbec to this year's blend enhances the wine's forward fruit character, while the Cabernet Franc contributes a rich spicy quality. The result is a fruit forward wine that shows the familiar ripe black cherry, smooth mid-palate and long oak driven finish that we have come to expect in the Marlstone wine.
Food Recommendations: Serve the Marlstone with roasted beef, lamb or pork. A rich lamb stew over polenta will also work very well with this wine.

New York, Los Angeles and Chicago were invited this week to make presentations for next spring's draft. But the league stresses that no finalists have been selected and many other cities are in the running.
The draft drew record TV ratings last month. It has been held in New York since 1965, with Radio City Music Hall the venue since 2006. But the Music Hall was not available for the usual late April dates this year and the draft was pushed back to May 8-10.
For the 2015 draft, the NFL is seeking proposals for April 22-25 or April 29-May 2.

(a) - (d) Not applicable.
(e) Second Half of 2013 Cash Bonus Program for Named Executive Officers - On August 14, 2013, the Compensation Committee (the "Committee") of the Board of Directors of the Corporation determined specific bonus plan parameters for the Corporation's semi-annual cash incentive program for the second half of 2013 (the "Bonus Program") for possible cash bonus awards to certain of our employees, including certain of our "named executive officers" identified in the Corporation's 2013 annual meeting of stockholders proxy statement (the "2013 Proxy Statement"), namely: Keith Jackson, President and Chief Executive Officer; Bernard Gutmann, Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer; George Cave, Senior Vice President, General Counsel, Chief Compliance & Ethics Officer and Secretary; William M. Hall, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Standard Products Group; and Robert Klosterboer, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Applications Products Group. The Bonus Program was set up under the previously disclosed terms and conditions of the ON Semiconductor Corporation Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). The amount and payment of the actual award, if any, to each participant is in the discretion of the Committee.
Cash bonuses under the Bonus Program will be paid only if the Corporation first achieves a certain minimum non-GAAP organic earnings per share, including stock compensation expense (the "Minimum Non-GAAP EPS"). Thereafter, actual bonuses under the Bonus Program will be determined based on achievement related to two performance metrics: (1) non-GAAP organic earnings per share, including stock compensation expense (weighted 80%) and (2) organic revenue growth over second half 2012 numbers (weighted 20%). The Bonus Program includes the impact on the Corporation of the SANYO Semiconductor acquisition that occurred in January 2011. Under the Bonus Program, the bonus pool is capped at 11% of non-GAAP net income. Non-GAAP earnings per share will be calculated by excluding certain items from GAAP net income, such as: gain (loss) on debt repurchase, debt exchange, early extinguishment of debt, etc.; restructuring, asset impairment and other charges, net; expensing of inventory fair market value step up; amortization of acquisition related intangible assets; non-cash interest expense; adjustment to reflect cash taxes; goodwill and intangible asset impairment; actuarial gains or losses on pension plans and other pension benefits; gains and losses on acquisitions; acquisition related costs; and extraordinary items.
Assuming the attainment of the Minimum Non-GAAP EPS, current award opportunities for the second half of 2013 under the Bonus Program (expressed as a percentage of the officer's base salary) for each of the remaining named executive officers has the threshold, target, and stretch amount listed below. The Committee reviews these officer award opportunities from time-to-time.
Current Officer Title Award Opportunity Keith Jackson President and Chief Threshold (0%) Executive Officer Target (150%) Maximum (300%) Bernard Gutmann Executive Vice President, Threshold (0%) Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer Target (80%) Maximum (160%) George H.

Do Doctoral Students' Financial Support Patterns Affect Their Times-to-Degree and Completion Probabilities
AbstractProjections of forthcoming shortages of Ph.D.s abound. Part of the reason is that American college graduates are much less likely to receive doctorates today than thcy were 20 years ago. Two important factors in this decline may be the increase in the length of time necessary for doctorate students to complete their programs that occurred over the period and the low completion rates of entrants into doctoral programs. Among the policies urged to prevent future Ph.D. shortages are increasing support for graduate students. Surprisingly little empirical evidence is available on how different types of support (fellowships. research assistantships, teaching assistantships) are likely to influence times-to-degree and completion rates. Our paper uses data on all graduate students who entered Ph.D. programs in four fields during a 25-year period at a single major doctorate producing university to estimate how graduate student financial support patterns influence these outcomes. We find that completion rates and mean durations of times-to-completion are sensitive to the types of financial support the students received. Other things held constant, students who receive fellowships or research assistantships have higher completion rates and shorter times-to-degree than students who receive teaching assistantships or tuition waivers, or who are totally self-supporting. A major finding Is that the Impact of financial support patterns on the fraction of students who complete programs is much larger than its impact on mean durations of times-to-degree.
