The statute of governance. A pivotal linkage between principles of governance and corporate practices
AbstractThis paper puts forward an innovative construct called the Statute of Governance, by which a company can foster and enhance its corporate governance. The paper argues that it is not enough to list some principles of governance and a set of related good practices, as the Australian Stock Exchange has done, albeit it comprises the best available guidelines for the time being. We contend, however, that a step further should be taken, consisting of a Statute of Governance designed and passed by the Board, voted through by stockholders, and enacted by the management. Such statute is a pivotal linkage between principles and good practices, because it becomes enforceable from within the company itself, as the basic by-law concerning corporate governance.

Recession measurements on this glacier were initiated on September 5, 1934, when a point was established upon a prominent rock 52 feet from the end of the ice and where Stevens Creek emerged from the glacier. In the fall of 19-35 it was found that this rock had either been washed away or the markings obliterated by flood waters during the intervening period. A second point was then established upon a solid, stationary rock face that was just emerging from the ice at the terminus.
The extreme recession recorded in the following table, is due to the fact that the end of this glacier is characterized by a long, rather narrow tongue of ice. This is melting very rapidly at the present time and will continue to do so for at least two more years. Following the disintegration of the ice tongue a more normal recession will undoubtedly be recorded.

|The Z4 backed up its bold lines with a bona fide M Division powertrain
But the important aspect, as ever, is the driving experience, and the Z4 backed up its bold lines with a bona fide M Division powertrain. The heart of it is the special grey-cast-iron-block 3.2-litre straight-six (they used iron for the extra rigidity at high rpm). Designated S54, it's the last in the M50 line of engines and has all the best tech thrown at it, including individual 'fly by wire' throttle bodies and dual variable cam timing (VANOS in BMW-speak) which all helped it to pump out 338bhp at 7900rpm and 269lb ft of torque at 4900rpm, with an 8000rpm red line.
The gearbox is the superb Getrag six-speed manual, very reliable and easy to use, although the clutch delay valve can make very quick changes tricky and many owners remove it. Performance is suitably brisk, with 0-60mph in around 5sec (top speed is electronically restricted to 155mph), all accompanied by one of the best engine notes of any modern car.
The chassis isn't one of BMW's most polished, but it's never less than engaging, with communicative steering and a busy, occasionally jiggly ride over coarse surfaces.
It's a practical car, too. The interior is well laid out, the dash easy to read. There is ample space in the boot for weekend luggage, and although the seats are more orientated towards short bursts of track use, they are reasonably comfy on long journeys. Parking can be a little tricky until you get used to not being able to see the corners of the car – the bonnet bulge hides the nearside front corner remarkably effectively, and although the rear of the car is close at hand, the high window prevents you seeing bollards!
All in all it's a fast and charismatic coupe, and a sensible proposition as a sports tourer, as well as making an excellent trackday blaster. Now to find a good one… See Checkpoints

Jury finds Occupy Manchester trio guilty
The trio, Elizabeth Edwards, Elizabeth Grunewald and Matthew Richards, had refused to leave the park at the 11 p.m. curfew and were arrested by Manchester Police.
Defense attorney Barbara Keshen had sought a verdict of innocent, putting forward the concept of jury nullification. It's now law in New Hampshire that even if the state has provided evidence of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, jurors can find defendants innocent if in the jury's judgment it is a "fair result".
But the jury sided with the prosecutor, who defined jury nullification as: "It's okay to break the law."
The three were sentenced to 10 days in jail, deferred for one year of good behavior and completion of 90 hours of community service.
Keshen had argued that the Occupy Manchester participants were exercising their Constitutional rights of peaceable assembly and dialogue for redress of grievances.
Assistant Hillsborough County Attorney Charlene Dulac suggested to jurors that if they didn't find the defendants guilty, it would lead to the parks becoming centers for late night or overnight drinking, drugging and camping, with violence likely.
The three defendants, part of a much larger group that had been camping in Victory and later Veterans parks since Oct. 15, were engaging in political discussions and welcoming anyone who wanted to join them, offering food and other necessities.
Manchester Police Capt. Robert Cunha, who was the department's point person in dealing with the Occupy participants, testified they had moved temporarily to Victory Park so the department's Footrace for the Fallen could take over Veterans Park, how they had left Victory Park cleaner than it had been in years, and how they were respectful, reasonable and cooperative.
Cunha said the members of Occupy even offered to line up for police arriving at the park at 11 p.m. on Oct. 19, one line to accept citations and one line for arrests.
Keshen described the gathering in the park as an opportunity for people "to express their views and create a community."
She said they had a right, under the First Amendment, to "peaceably assemble to petition for the redress of grievances."
In Dulac's view, the issue was simple - the defendants were arrested as a result of the choices they made. "They were arrested for violating the criminal trespass law, " she said. "This wasn't part of the movement."

The joke's about a generation of human-sexuality researchers: Adolescent pranksters responding to the commonly mentioned National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health inside the mid-1990s might have faked nonheterosexuality.
Preliminary results within the landmark research — termed as "Add Health" — stunned scientists, parents plus educators likewise, recalls Cornell's Ritch C. Savin-Williams, professor of human development, certified medical psychologist, writer plus director of the university's Sex plus Gender Lab. "How can it be which 5 to 7 % of the youth were homosexual or bisexual!"
Previous estimates of homosexuality plus bisexuality amidst significant schoolers had been about 1 %. So imagine the surprise plus confusion whenever next revisits to the same analysis topics found over 70 % of the self-reported adolescent nonheterosexuals had somehow gone "straight" because elder teenagers plus young adults.
"We must have recognized anything was amiss," Savin-Williams mentioned. "One clue was that many of the kids that initially reported to have synthetic limbs miraculously regrew arms plus legs whenever experts returned to interview them."
Savin-Williams plus Kara Joyner of Bowling Green State University co-authored a latest essay inside the log Archives of Sexual Behavior titled, "The Dubious Assessment of Gay, Lesbian plus Bisexual Adolescents of Add Health."
Over the years, examining Add Health's sexual-orientation information became a cottage industry for scholars of human sexuality — Savin-Williams amidst them. "We provide this essay, with information, to forestall these wrongheaded scholarly function inside the future," Savin-Williams plus Joyner wrote.
Joyner plus Savin-Williams offered 3 hypotheses for the gay-gone-straight phenomenon: Perhaps most self-reporting nonheterosexuals went back inside the wardrobe because they aged. Maybe they misconstrued the researchers' issues — or it might have been a sophomoric joke to claim, inside the confidential study, to be romantically attracted to the same sex.
Most of the adolescents whom revised their intimate orientation inside next reports were guys — whom would have found humor inside pretending to be homosexual or bisexual.
Joyner plus Savin-Williams fast dismissed the initial hypothesis, suggesting which idea is inconsistent with what exactly is recognized regarding homosexual youth development. "Gay significant school youth inside these numbers never become closeted throughout young adulthood," Savin-Williams noted. "Actually, the developmental progress is the reverse: coming out when away from house."
They gave more credence to the idea which politically correct code regarding "romantic attraction" may have been misinterpreted. Questions inside next Add Health reports really utilized the "S word," because inside intimate orientation. "We're guessing," Savin-Williams claims, "that several analysis topics eventually understood the content, which they said: 'Now I recognize what you're asking — plus, no, I'm not.'"
That as well as the adolescent pranksters are the probably explanations for the dubious assessment of Add Health information, the authors conclude.
"I may take a joke and also the upcoming academic," states Savin-Williams whom has invested a life studying adolescent development.
Yet he is saddened which the Add Health information led scientists, clinicians plus policymakers to an inflated sense which homosexual youth are more suicidal, depressed plus psychologically ill than are straight youth.
"We should be thoughtful whenever you do the analysis which the sexual-minority participants are representative of the homosexual youth population thus which you could precisely plus adequately represent their lives," Savin-Williams mentioned.

Depending on the types of jokes and the manner in which they present them, the rare breed called "comedians" is one of the most intelligent types of people you will ever find inhabiting the planet. In a school classroom situation they are always the bright smart arses in the top class.
Anyone can tell a joke, but to tell a good, witty and tasteful joke is truly a rare gift. The people who possess this gift are comedians.

RECIPE # 4119 SOUTHERN COCONUT CAKE March 17, 2008
Alisa Huntsman / Cookbook Author "Sky High: Irresistible Triple Layer Cakes"
Southern Coconut Cake
5 egg whites
1/2 cup milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups cake flour
2 1/3 cups sugar
4 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
2 sticks (8 ounces) unsalted butter, at warm room temperature
* makes an 8-inch triple-layer cake; serves 12 to 16
Cream Cheese Buttercream Frosting
12 ounces cold cream cheese
1 stick plus 6 tablespoons (7 ounces) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup confectioners' sugar, sifted after measuring
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup granulated sugar
3 egg whites
2 1/2 cups sweetened flaked coconut
* makes about 5 cups
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter the bottom of three 8-inch round cake pans or coat with vegetable cooking spray. Line the bottom of each pan with a round of parchment or waxed paper and butter the paper.
Put the egg whites in a mixing bowl and whisk slightly. Add the 1/2 cup milk and the vanilla and whisk to mix thoroughly; set aside.
In a large mixer bowl, combing the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. With the mixer on low, beat to mix well and break up any lumps, about 30 seconds. Add the butter and coconut milk and with the mixer still on low, beat to combine. Raise the speed to medium and beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add the egg white mixture in 2 or 3 additions, scraping down the sides of the bowl and mixing just long enough to incorporate between additions. Divide the batter among the prepared pans.
Bake for 30 minutes, or until a cake tester or wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in their pans for 10 minutes. Then turn them out onto cooling racks and allow to cool completely.
To decorate the cake, place one layer flat side up on an 8-inch cake board. Cover this layer with 1 cup of the buttercream frosting, spreading it evenly right to the edge. Sprinkle 1/2 cup coconut over the frosting. Add the second layer of cake and repeat with another 1 cup frosting and 1/2 cup coconut. Top with the final layer of cake and frost the top and sides with the remaining frosting.
Place the remaining 1 1/2 cups coconut on a large baking tray. Pick up the cake and hold it on the palm of one hand over the tray. Using the other hand, scoop up some of the coconut and press it onto the side of the cake. Continue to do this, rotating the cake slightly each time, until the sides are completely coated. Set the cake on a serving plate and sprinkle any remaining coconut over the top. Chill for at least 1 hour to allow the frosting to firm up before slicing.
Cream Cheese Buttercream Frosting
Everyone loves the unctuousness of cream cheese frosting, but the silky texture of buttercream is irresistible. Unfortunately, if you try to make a buttercream with cream cheese, it breaks. This technique solves the problem perfectly, giving you the best of both frostings.
Place the cream cheese in a mixer bowl, and mix on medium until slightly fluffy and smooth. Add the butter 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time, mixing until smooth. Add the confectioners' sugar and vanilla and mix until fluffy. Set this aside at room temperature while the buttercream is prepared.
To prepare the buttercream, combine the granulated sugar and 1/4 cup water in a small heavy saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Continue to cook, without stirring, until the syrup reaches the soft-ball stage, 238 degrees F on a candy thermometer.
Meanwhile, put the egg whites in a mixer bowl and have the mixer set up and ready to go. When the syrup is ready, turn the mixer to medium-low and begin mixing the egg whites. Slowly add the hot syrup to the whites, taking care not to pour it directly onto the beaters, or it may splash. When all of the syrup is incorporated, raise the speed to medium-high and beat until the eggwhite mixture has cooled to body temperature and a stiff meringue forms.
With the mixer on low speed, begin adding the cream cheese mixture by the spoonful. When all is incorporated, raise the speed to medium and whip until the frosting is smooth and fluffy. Enjoy!

According to Wikipedia, a work unit or Danwei 单位(dān wèi) is the name given to a place of employment in the People's Republic of China. While the term Danwei remains in use today it is more properly used to refer to a place of employment during the period when the Chinese economy was still more heavily socialist or when used in the context of one of state-owned enterprises
Richard Child Hill, the writer of the book review on Social Space and Governance in Urban China: The Dan Wei System From Origins to Urban Reform thinks that Danwei system is developed in socialist China. This system emphasizes the importance of collective behaviors and opinions while the traditional China put more attention to the familial hierarchy.
Danwei space is designed to bolster the socialist order yet it also mimics the family compounds of traditional China. Confucian and socialist China are very different social orders yet the wall demarcates social space in both, and both endow space with political and moral significance. The Confucian compound is ruled by the family patriarch; the socialist production compound by the danwei. Confucian space sanctifies familial hierarchy; socialist space a collectivist and egalitarian concept of social relations.
Brief History of Danwei Society
Chinese scholars, Tian Yipeng and Liu Jie briefly introduce the history of Danwei Society in an article titled:Historical Position of"Unit-Society"Appraised Again "单位社会"历史地位的再评价
1) 1948 – 1953 Exploration Period
During the Chinese War of Liberation Period, Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has already began to explore the new urban management system in the Northeast China. CCP's efforts to establish the new management system in urban area were important basis of the Danwei System. In 1949, CCP began to establish the "Country – Danwei - Individual", the Danwei System in the People's Republic of China.
2) 1953 – 1956 Finalized Period
CCP finished the First Five-Year Plan (一五计划) in 1956. This plan was crucial to the finalization and development of the Danwei System. Danwei began to play an important role in Chinese people's daily life. The system includes the following content – Danwei is not only a workplace but also a place where people participate in political affairs; Danwei is responsible for people's welfare system; Danwei represents the CCP and government to supervise people's work and life, etc.
3) 1957 – 1976 Peak Period
Chairman Mao promoted the development of People's Commune (人民公社). Mao tried to extend Danwei System from urban area to rural area. Meanwhile, Danwei System kept developing Danwei System. Danwei System arrived its peak period during Cultural Revolution (文化大革命).
4) 1980 – now Decline and Transition PeriodAs Deng Xiaoping came up with policy of reform and openness in 1980s, planned economy in China gradually declined. Since Danwei System was connected to the planned economy, it also encounter the decline and transition period.
At the same time the role of the work unit has changed as China has moved from a socialist ideology to "Socialism with Chinese characteristics". By 2000 much of the work unit's power had been removed. In 2003, for example, it became possible to marry or divorce someone without needing authorization from ones' work unit. (Wikipedia)
How Danwei System Works
In the book review on Social Space and Governance in Urban China: The Danwei System from Origins to Urban Reform, Richard also mentions that the Danwei System is how the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) mobilized, integrated, and governed China's exploding urban population after the 1949 revolution.
The danwei was simultaneously the spatial building block, the locus of daily life, and the mainspring of social identity in the Chinese socialist city. Danwei is a generic term referring to the socialist workplace and the activities it encompasses. The CCP organized the city through the workplace. The grass roots production unit, be it factory, government bureau, school, or hospital, touched nearly every aspect of a Chinese worker's life: it provided employment and housing, meal provision and bath houses, child care and early schooling, medical treatment and welfare services, political study and party membership, marriage and divorce, policing and security. Two decades of economic reform have considerably diminished the danwei's significance in the Chinese city but the system's legacy lives on in the institutions that are replacing it.
Influence of Danwei System
According to Wikipedia, "The influence of a work unit on the life of an individual was substantial and permission had to be obtained from the work units before undertaking everyday events such as travel, marriage, or having children. Amongst other things, the work unit assigned individuals living quarters and provided them with food, which was eaten in centralized canteens." For example,
The danwei system was crucial to the implementation of the one child policy as the reproductive behavior of workers could be monitored through the danwei system. Workers not complying with policy could have their pay docked, incentives withheld or living conditions downgraded.
A letter of introduction provided by Danwei defines a person's identity before 1980s
介绍信Jie Shao Xin, a letter of introduction which is provided by Danwei. This letter used to be very important in Chinese people's life because without this letter, you cannot prove "who you are" and you cannot travel to other places. The most important part of the letter is the official seal.
A report about Chinese ID card shows the importance of Jie Shao Xin. Before government came up with the policy of ID card in 1984, Chinese people cannot go to other places to work or live without Jie Shao Xin. Below is a picture of a formal Jie Shao Xin.
"The Jie Shao Xin above has the formal format. It includes address, text, ending, signature, dates and etc. The most important part in this letter is the official seal."
Ji Zhongxue, a famous brilliant person of his village comes from Huainan, Shanxi province. Village head used to ask him to contact with the forestry center in 1975. Every time leaving home, he had to take lots of Jie Shao Xin and supporting files because "who are you" was completely decided by the Jie Shao Xin.
"When we don't have the ID cards, people have to take Jie Shao Xin whatever you do – on business or visiting relatives and wherever you go" Ji Zhongxue said. If you want to visit other places, no matter you have to work or you are on journey; no matter you want to take a train or live in a hotel; or even you go to other village to visit relatives, you need the Jie Shao Xin. Jie Shao Xin is a person's identity. "Without Jie Shao Xin, you cannot go anywhere else."

By Karen Cohilas - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) - A major renovation at MCLB Albany is a third complete. To show off the work that's already been accomplished at the Marine Corps Logistics Command Headquarters, officials held a ribbon-cutting ceremony Thursday.
The first floor was renovated with new office space and a new heat and air conditioning system. Colonel C.N. Haliday says the $16.7 Million renovation was essential to allow workers to support the troops better.
He said, "It's about readiness. It's about efficiency. It's about enabling he workforce to concentrate on their work and not worry about the conditions of their work environment."
The renovation began in 2008 and should be finished next year.

In 1890 blackberries was a cash crop. 30,000 quarts had been harvested and processed at the Turin canning factory.
Hop growing started during the late nineteenth century and into the early twentieth century and was a cash crop in and around the Lowville area. In the spring the hops were planted with about twenty foot poles so that the plant could grow up the pole. The hops was harvested in the fall. In the mornings, pickers were picked up in farm wagons and taken to the fields and in the late afternoons, the pickers were taken back to town. The hops were stored in hop houses for curing. Breweries in Utica and Rome, NY would purchase the cured hops. In 1907 the farmer received about 10 to 12 cents a pound for the hops. In 1952 the last hop house, which was on Edward Rittis' farm, was torn down. Before the 1900's, in West Turin there were several families who operated hopyards; the Potter family at Potter's Corners, Robert Plunkett on Route 26, and several by the families of Emory Allen on West Road.
Potatoes were raised in the town of Watson when the Black River Canal was in operation. The farmers could take their potatoes to a storehouse on the northern bank of the Black River. The potatoes were easily shipped by boat to the city markets. But when the Canal ceased operation, the farmers no longer had a profitable way to get their potatoes to market.
Poultry farming
An incubator, named "Climax", was perfected by Samuel L. Hirschey in 1902 for the hatching of chicken eggs. The "Climax" won awards at competitions and in 1904 was being manufactured at Castorland.
Maple sugar and maple syrup were and continue to be important cash crops for Lewis County. This history goes back to the Indians. A few miles north of Lowville, trees were found that had tappings like those of the Indians. Early settlers made maple sugar for their own use, and like everything else as farming progressed, so did maple syrup production for sale.

Atari Teenage Riot (abbreviated ATR) is a German digital hardcore group formed in Berlin in 1992. The name was taken from a Portuguese Joe song entitled "Teenage Riot" from the album "Teen-age Riot", with the word 'Atari' added as an Atari ST computer was used to create compositions. Highly political, they fused anarchist, anti-fascist and anti-Nazi views with punk vocals and the newly emerging techno sound called digital hardcore, which is a term band member Alec Empire used as the name of his record label.

The weekend of 14th and 15th June 2014 will bring together some of the most intriguing international minds – novelists, journalists, film-makers, poets, theatre directors, war correspondents, biographers, artists and political commentators – for a weekend of stimulating dialogue and discussion.
Our speakers this year include plenty of new faces (Mariella Frostrup, Deborah Levy, Eimear McBride, Damian Barr, Ruth Padel, Cathy Davey, Roy Foster, Audrey Magee, Gerard Byrne, Dylan Haskins, Patrick McGrath, Lisa Hannigan, Sebastian Barry, Louis de Bernieres, Hugo Hamilton, Declan Walsh, Kevin Myers, Jason McCue) and re-visits of some guests from previous years (William Dalrymple, Donal Ryan, Giles Duley, Olivia O'Leary, John Banville, Stephen Frears, Paul Murray). We also welcome the brilliant Mikel Murfi who will perform The Man in the Woman's Shoes.
Events will spill over from Borris House into the pubs of the village at night, and our friends at Writers Tears will be on hand to ensure we enjoy it.
We are pleased to announce an exhibition of design work by 'Form', a collective of artist-makers from the region, in the restored Laundry Building at Borris; also an exhibition of site-specific work by The Nine Stones Artists in The Town House in the village; and finally of sculptural works by Castledermot-based artist David King.

It is a simple question. So why don't you get more training? Do you feel that you operate already effectively? Is there no more stuff to learn? Do you think that you are already "good"? Sometimes, just when we are walking about and we feel everything is going smoothly, then the bottom drops out of the bucket, our world suddenly of positivity, in the situation, our lives, family and friends, takes a nose dive to the other side. When our world changes to tragedy, conflict and controversy those times,we all experienced, can be really depressing and shockingly awful. These are the times when we start to kick ourselves, probably. We reproach ourselves with, "I should've done this. I could've done that." Well the question at the beginning still stand, why do you not care about any changing the train, saving for a rainy day, and could of all of this tragedy be avoided. They say, prevention is better than the cure.

- Featureslarge 22mmdiameter tubes (better than the smaller 19mm tubes on a budget endrail).The larger the tube diameterthe more hot waterit canstore equalling increased heat output.
- Manufactured with'standard' depthchrome coating,containingadditives to prevent rusting from within and the outer chrome from flaking off(unlike budgetendrails withjust a 'shallow' depth coating).
- All our chrome ladders railshave a high concentration of tubes,to maximise the heat output, with gaps included at appropriate places for the storage of hand and/or bath towels.

Bing: Kristin Chenoweth sings
"It is with deep regret to inform everyone that due to my injuries, I am unable to return to The Good Wife," Chenoweth, 43, told People in a statement Monday. "Getting better slowly, and thank you everyone for your concern."
Chenoweth was rushed to the hospital on July 11 after being struck by lighting equipment.

Representatives for CBS gave a statement to ET following the incident, saying, "She received treatment on the scene by the show's medic until a New York Fire Department emergency medical team arrived and transported her to the hospital. All of us at the studio and the show are thinking about Kristin and wishing her a quick recovery."
"To all my fans: thank you for support and love!" Chenoweth tweeted on July 24, informing her fans about her recovery. "Doin better everyday. More to come when I'm able! ... I love you guys xo."

What would you do if you had the chance to bring your favorite artist to your prom? Country music superstar trio Lady Antebellum held a contest for fans to do just that, and they announced the winning high school this week in a video. They're giving one high school a private concert at a prom this Spring. The trio reviewed every submission sent in, and unanimously chose the community of Henryville, IN for staying united after the devastating tornadoes earlier this month. They were chosen from schools across North America who submitted videos to try and win over the group.
Congratulations to Silver Creek High School in Henryville, IN,who submitted a video on behalf of Henryville High School. To watch the group announcing the winning school click HERE. To see the school's winning submission that won the group over click HERE.
Due to a previously scheduled commitment, the group won't be able to actually make the date of the school's prom. Instead, to make up for it, they will hold a free private concert for the students instead in nearby Louisville, Kentucky on May 16th. The concert will be followed by a benefit for the community.
If you could have a country star perform at your prom, who would you choose?

The Chair introduced Susan Alt and Dawn Watkins, Personnel and Payroll Services, who agreed to attend Professional Council to discuss some personnel questions that have arisen. Remarks by Susan Alt, Director of Personnel and Payroll Services. - Director Alt would like to attend Professional Council, Faculty Council, and Classified Employees Advisory Committee more regularly to facilitate communication. - The Personnel and Payroll Services website is being updated. It contains much useful information for employees. - The MSU Benefits Committee has been very active. Some members of the committee, including the PPS Director, are members of the Inter-Units Benefits Committee. Remarks by Dawn Watkins, Assistant Director of Personnel and Payroll Services. - In response to an inquiry, the timing of university pay days was explained. Information developed when the feasibility of twice/monthly pay was explored was distributed. - To pay on the first of each month, the pay period would need to end on the 20th of each month. This creates several problems, because a pay check would include part of two different months. Bi-weekly checks would create similar problems, crossing months as well as calendar and fiscal years. - To alleviate the problem for new classified employees who may not receive a pay check for nearly six weeks after being hired, PPS is watching for these hires. They are included on the supplemental payroll to receive a partial-month's check soon after they are employed. - Banner is able to do electronic PTF's and electronic time entry by department. MSU will move toward that when departments and supervisors have more regular methods for supplying information needed for electronic delivery. - Paying salary twice per month may not completely double the work load, but there are other issues to consider. MSU and its satellite campuses each do their own payroll, putting heavy demands upon the Banner system. UM does payroll for its satellite campuses, and even though there was resistance to doing so in the beginning, it seems to work well. - There is an operational need to have ten days to process payrolls, and if there are holidays or week-ends in the period, it is very difficult to have it processed by the tenth of the month. - There was agreement by Professional Council members that moving pay day to the 10th of each month would help, because many loans need to be paid by then. PPS will consider the possibility. - The benefits inequities for two-employee families at MSU comes about because the state puts a certain amount of money into the benefits pool for each employee, regardless of family circumstances. Unused benefits belong to the plan, not to an individual. If employees were able to use their benefits contribution any way they chose (opt out of the health program and use the money for flex credits, for example), remaining employees would most likely have to pay more. - The Montana University System health benefits are very good in relation to most other group insurance. The program has a relatively small out-of-pocket cost and no limit on coverage. Health insurance costs are increasing rapidly country-wide. In response to a question about MAP, Director Alt reported that the current performance cycle is going much better. There have been improvements to the process, and PPS has been able to move more into a service role. Improvements in the program will continue to be made. Benefits to MAP include: - The MUS has been able to move away from the state pay plan with MAP and negotiate for additional pay, some in the form of the 0.05% increase at the end of each performance cycle. - There is more flexibility with new hires than in the past. The MPEA did not ratify the $.25/hour increase to be given January 05. Next week there will be a vote on a new proposal that has been negotiated. Report from the University Planning and Budget Analysis Committee - Jim Mitchell. - The Committee is working on a strategic plan, with discussion beginning at a September retreat. In early October, the information was categorized. It will be refined, discussed again by UPBAC, and then be shared with the campus community for comment. - In the first draft, it was proposed faculty pay increases to provide pay levels equal to some benchmark (using the median for other peer universities) be included. A similar statement needs to be included for professional and classified staff. A five-year time horizon was recommended for faculty increases to move toward the benchmark. The meeting adjourned at 3:00 PM. Additional items on the agenda will be discussed via e-mail and at the November Professional Council meeting.

Oh hooray, fish tanks. This is going to be an epic space fishing game. Maybe if we give more millions we'll get our own space cat
Star Citizen $22 million goal will capture heads and fans get a fish tank
Yesterday Star Citizen reached the $20 million goal and today Cloud Imperium has revealed the new $22 million goal.
Chris Roberts posted his message of thanks to all backers of the project and also revealed their plans if the reach $22 million. According to Chris they have been researching ways to capture images of real heads to import them into the game. This means game characters will appear more realistic and it also sounds like they'll be capturing mug shots of fans too. More on the tech behind this can be found on the Infinite Realities website.
Anyone who backed the game may be a little concerned about feature creep, but when to Cloud Imperium stop adding more features when the money keeps flooding in?
Roberts explains that there are two categories, features they wanted to add that were initially too expensive and features such as the facial capture which they say will "make the game better!. With development set to continue for some time, the devs will be releasing content piece by piece and not all content will go live at the same time.
The hangar module development is also still on-going and they are asking the community what they would like to see next in the hangar, whether it be more rooms, decorations or augmentations. What I would like to see in the hangar are doors that open and let me fly out, but that may be jumping the gun.
If you did back the game, you'll also have access to a fish tank decoration for your hangar when its patched in. To start your aquarium there will be a rare gold Midas fish which was found on the planet Cassel in the Goss System. Once players start exploring out in the depths of space, more fish can be added to the tank as they're discovered.
I wonder if you have to feed them and will there be a fish food microtransaction?

Haven't you ever heard the phrase "The devil is in the details"? If you go to a movie set, you will see whole crews of people who are dedicated to adding in the most insignificant thing into a scene to give the viewer a sense of realism. Without those minute details, the viewer is never able to fully accept that it could be a real place they are looking at.
Same goes for games. If you want to create a believable universe, it has to have little details all throughout.September 28, 2013 at 11:19 pm

History of proton
Proton Saga was the first Proton model, based on the Mitsubishi Lancer Fiore. It rolled off the Shah Alam assembly line for the first time in September 1985. The 100,000th Proton Saga was produced in January 1989. It remains the top-selling model even though newer, more advanced models have been launched.[1] There have been a few other face-lifted models: Proton Knight, Proton CARES and Iswara Aeroback, Iswara Limited Edition (painted in light purple with power steering and sporty exhaust note). This model is extremely popular with taxi drivers in Kuala Lumpur who repaint the vehicles red and white.Proton Saga Iswara, is a face-lifted version of the Proton Saga; originally launched way-back in 1992 and is still one of the top selling models for Proton in 2004 because of its low price. In past decades, this model had been well known for its low fuel consumption.
However, with the advancement of technology Iswara has lost in this field. Sometime in 2005, the Saga Iswara was facelifted again and renamed back to the Proton Saga. This new version featured remodeled headlamps both front and rear. It also had an Audi TT-inspired dashboard and 1st generation Lotus Elise-derived dashboard display. In 2006, the Saga was facelifted yet again to include a new wau grille to match the rest of the family.Proton Wira (also known as the Proton Persona in Europe and some other international markets, not to be confused with the 2007 Proton Persona) was introduced in 1993 and is based on Mitsubishi Lancer/Colt. More than 220,000 units were sold between 1996 and 1998 [2].
This car was, and still is, very popular in Malaysia. The word Wira translates into English as "Hero†but instead of using this as the name in English-speaking countries, Proton chose to use the word Persona. However, from about 2001 onwards, the car has been sold as the Wira in the United Kingdom, whilst in 2002 the Wira was put into production in Iran by Zagross Khodro.Proton Wira AerobackProton Wira SEProton Satria, (also called Proton Compact in the UK) a sporty 3-door hatchback based on the Mitsubishi Mirage / Mitsubishi Colt. Proton gained a lot of valuable engineering knowledge from its takeover of Lotus which ultimately led to a special Lotus badged version of the Satria being produced.Proton Satria GTi is a 3-door sports hatchback. This was Proton's attempt at the sporty, performance hatchback market.
Very popular in Malaysia and has a large following in Australia. Powered by a 4-cylinder 1,800 cc DOHC engine and featured Lotus-tuned suspension, it was one of the best Protons ever built.Proton Satria R3 is a limited edition road-legal race-spec Satria with only 150 units in production. It features a double seam-welded lightened chassis and a tweaked engine with more aggressive cam timing.Proton Satria SE is the last batch of Proton Satrias to roll out. Featuring Proton Arena sports rims and grille, and many extras in the interior similar to the Proton Wira SE, this would be the last of the Satrias before the long-awaited SRM (Satria Replacement Model) rolls out.Proton Satria Neo is the replacement model of the previous Satria variants, using all-new design, chassis and powerplant.
Launched on 16 June 2006, the Satria Neo is available in 1.6L and 1.3L variants, where both variants are powered by Campro engine.Proton Putra, a 2-door sporty coupe based on the Mitsubishi Mirage. Considered by many as one of the better looking of the Mitsubishi-based models, the Putra was well-received and commands good second-hand value.Proton Perdana, based on the Mitsubishi Eterna, first produced in 1994, intended for the higher-end market.Proton Perdana V6 was the facelifted version of the Perdana, featuring a more powerful V6 engine and new front and rear look. It was later facelifted to include the Alfa-Romeo-inspired grille that earned it the nickname Alfa-dana among enthusiasts.Proton Tiara was a compact car based on the Citroën AX, built under licence by Proton from 1996 to 2000. Faced numerous problems due to Proton not supporting the model after it was discontinued.
Proton Juara, MPV based on the Mitsubishi Town Box Wide. This model was the first batch being totally CKD models from Japan. The external appearance of the car, which was a modification of the original Town Box, was criticized and received negatively, leading to its poor sales. It was very economical in fuel consumption and was very versatile. It is also one of the best-equipped Mitsubishi-based models, as it was based on a current model Mitsubishi. It featured keyless entry, auto-dim lights, safety lock for gear, child locks for doors and a digital odometer which was later used in other Proton models. It was also the first Malaysian car to offer Mercedes-Benz-style wing mirror-mounted signal indicators.Proton Waja (Proton Impian in Europe) is the first Proton to be designed and styled in-house. However, the car's chassis and engine were sourced and adapted from Mitsubishi (except for the 1,800 cc variant, which was powered by a Renault engine).
The word Waja translates into English as "steel†while Impian translates into "dreams†or "ambitionâ€. The name Impian was chosen as it was considered to be a more pleasant sounding word for the international market. In January 2006, the car was fitted with a CamPro engine which has been re-tuned to boost the horsepower to 86 kW (115 bhp) and 155 N-m of torque. This made it go full-circle, as the CamPro was originally developed for the Waja, but was deemed not ready for production when the Waja was launched, hence debuting in the Proton Gen-2. The facelifted 2007 Proton Waja was launched on 19 January 2007 with the new grille nearly identical to the Proton Savvy.Proton Chancellor is a variant of the Waja for the executive market with a longer base, larger interior space and luxury features.
Proton Waja R3 MME EditionProton Arena (Called Proton Jumbuck in UK and Australia), a coupe utility vehicle. Based on the Wira platform, Proton engineers managed to develop a vehicle that would cater for those who have an active lifestyle and also those who need a small and economical utility vehicle as opposed to a commercial truck. 1200 units were sold in Australia in its first year. The Arena comes in 3 bodystyles.Proton Gen.2 is the first fully Malaysian-developed (including chassis and engine) Proton car and the replacement model for the Proton Wira; launched on February 8, 2004. It featured a modern sleek shape, with original design cues like crop-circle rear lamps and concave tail. The interior was very modern and minimalist, with a cool meter cluster. Proton still continued to sell the Wira after the Gen.2 was launched, due to having a huge supply of the vehicle still in stock.
The Gen.2 is considered by many to be the best-looking Proton. It has a minimalist and modern interior that was designed with the help of Lotus. However, it did face problems with the quality of the interior and therefore sought the help of TUV of Germany for quality control, with results clearly visible from the Savvy onwards. The Gen.2 was the first to receive the CamPro engine which needed high revs to obtain full power, and this was sorted out with the re-tuning of later units of the car.Proton Gen-2 R3 MME EditionProton Gen-2 EVE Hybrid is a hybrid concept version of the Gen-2, revealed during the 2007 Geneva Auto Show. It retains the S4PH Campro engine coupled together with a 30 kW, 144 V electric motor.Proton Savvy was launched on June 8, 2005. The 1,200 cc 5-door supermini car is the replacement model for the Proton Tiara. The car is fitted with an engine and a gearbox sourced from Renault.
In an official on-road test made by Proton in mid-2006, Proton Savvy recorded the fuel consumption rate of about 24 km/L (or about RM0.08/km of fuel), making the car as the most fuel-efficient Malaysian car as verified by Malaysian Book of Records.Proton Savvy R3 Zerokit was based on the Proton Savvy R3 prototype and could be added to a Savvy purchase for an additional RM3000. It featured a roof spoiler, front and rear lips and side skirting.Proton PERT (Petronas-EON Racing Team), a near-identical copy of the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution. The current model resembles the Evolution VII and participates in the production class of the World Rally Championship.Proton Persona was launched on 15 August 2007. The 1.6 liter sedan is based on the Proton Gen-2 and features a sedan body instead of the Gen-2's liftback body. It retains the same 82kW Campro engine.

Hockey season has finally ramped up. With the Caps' first two games in the books and a break before the next matchup, let's analyze what's happened so far.
First and foremost, Washington won both divisional games. They also gave one point to both divisional opponents.
The Good News
Making more than a couple roster changes in the offseason at key positions can have it's up and downs. This Capitals team is showing enough poise and skill to win games during the lows. Their early clutch factor should lead to a nice roll at some point.
They also look really solid in net. Don't expect too many more of what Tampa Bay Lightning coach Guy Boucher called "weird" goals on Tomas Vokoun.
The Bad News
Nicklas Backstrom isn't looking like the second highest paid player on the team. While his offensive playmaking is rounding into form, his play needs to show more awareness and grit. The Face-off losses on the Power Play are hurting the team. Also, the Caps have given up eight regulation goals. That part isn't Backstrom's fault, just needed to be noted. For the record, this writer believes Backstrom will be an improved player by the end of the season.
What Stands Out
The Brooks Laich line is genius. When reporters and analysts questioned the amount of money he got in the offseason, and his ability to score enough goals for his contract size, they didn't realize that Coach Bruce Boudreau had a different plan. Instead of asking Brooks Laich to Wing or Center a line with Alex Semin, and score more points, they asked him to center a true Two-Way line. Laich, Joel Ward and Jason Chimera are tasked with shutting down the other team's top line. They do this by grinding the boards in the offensive zone with savvy. Joel Ward seems to always win the puck from the eye test. Laich is the heart of the team. It's perfect!
What Needs to Change
It's fair to say that nothing needs to change. Coach Boudreau is doing an excellent coaching job thus far. His in-game line changes have been working and the team is scoring goals again. The fluky-ness of some goals scored against them means the defense is still playing good. One thing that may change a bit more in the future is Alex Oveckin's line-mates. Troy Brouwer and Marcus Johansson will almost certainly see time on Ovechkin's line in the near future.
What Needs to Stay the Same
The hard-nosed coaching style. Just because the aforementioned Johansson had a good game should not guarantee anything. Just as Ovechkin's sometimes lax defense should limit his playing time. So far, Boudreau has shown he is willing to fight for his job and the success of the team. He is treating the top players as professionals and not youngsters. That means consistency. The great coaches set high expectations.
Washington plays their next game Thursday night against the Pittsburgh Penguins on the NHL Network at 7:00 PM EST.

The Harley-Davidson Bad Boy has possibly the most embarrassing name in motorcycling history applied to one of the weirdest Harley-Davidson combinations.

1170cc, 122bhp, 148mph, Insurance group 13
Somehow you already know if you want the BMW R1200S. The looks divide opinions, but only half as much as the Boxer engine and the Telelever/Paralever suspension do. BMW has strained the limits of these design parameters – and it only just comes off. As an oddball track motorcycle it works, but as an accomplished all-rounder it falls short of ...

By now the world knows BMWs can be fun: the 180bhp K1200S and R models are simply riotous. But somehow the Boxer-engine range has always maintained a straight-faced attitude – diligent, hard-working and hard wearing.

Kim Kardashian posted a ridiculously gorgeous photo to Instagram which has left many of us wondering what in the world she is talking about with her caption. It's not the first time the general public has scratched their collective heads over what Kim was saying, so it's kind of expected. She wrote .... "I'm back."
What exactly is that supposed to mean? She's back? Where has she been? Blonde? Kanyeville? Yes, we knew that. But what does this mean? What could it mean? I'll tell you what it means.
More From Our Partners: Kylie Jenner Shows Off Shocking New Hair
Probably nothing. Maybe everything. You've been Kardashianed!
Maybe it's that she feels like she's back as in her body feels more like it was prior to having a baby, maybe it's the fact that she just generally feels more like herself, she's in this motherhood groove thing, settled into who she really is. Or maybe, just maybe it simply means she has her brown hair back. The blonde is gone replaced by some super warm honey brown tones. Since she's a Kardashian, you don't just go and have your hair did without making a big production about it. In this case, a devastatingly gorgeous selfie showing off perfect locks, and duck face lips. How does someone pull that off and look awesome? The duck face, I'm talking about here. Anyone? Anyone?
I love the look. It makes her appear less Beyonce and more Kim K. "I'm back." Yeah, she is. What's next? I guess we'll see.
What do you think of Kim's new/old look? Happy the blonde is gone?

As I have always said before regarding KK, who really cares.
Come on Michele! Have you forgotten your grammar? Here's what you wrote: "you don't just go and have your hair did without making a big production about it." Go and have your hair did? Really? You need a proofreader! As to the article, who cares what Kim K does? Reality "stars" are not stars in my opinion. They don't deserve anyone's worship.
