Scotiabank Seeks to Boost Wealth Earnings to 30% of Profit
Bank of Nova Scotia, Canada's third-largest lender by assets, seeks to generate 20 percent to 30 percent of total profit from its global wealth and insurance unit in three to five years.
The goal was among four Scotiabank disclosed today during an investor conference in Toronto, where the company is based. The business accounted for 19 percent of the lender's earnings in the first three fiscal quarters, with 25 percent of that from outside Canada.
The unit is also targeting "organic" earnings growth, which excludes acquisitions, of more than 10 percent, and a return on economic equity of at least 16 percent to 20 percent. Scotiabank seeks to boost contributions from wealth operations outside of Canada to at least 30 percent of the division's earnings.
"We're expecting to achieve these through good markets or bad markets," Chris Hodgson, group head of global wealth and insurance, said in a telephone interview. "But they're not a slam dunk by any stretch."
Scotiabank joins Canadian lenders including Toronto-Dominion Bank and Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce in attempting to expand the share of profit from wealth management as domestic consumer lending slows and investment demands from an aging, affluent population increase.
'Growth Strategy'
"Wealth and insurance is a very significant growth strategy for the bank," Hodgson said.
The division can increase earnings in the short term by 10 percent to 15 percent, and more in the medium term, Hodgson said. Additional growth could come through "opportunistic" acquisitions, he said, though the priority is internal growth. Scotiabank has spent more than C$6 billion ($5.8 billion) on wealth acquisitions in the past five years.
Scotiabank seeks to expand in the institutional asset-management business in Canada, Hodgson said, building on its purchase of a 37 percent stake in CI Financial Corp. in 2008 and the takeover of DundeeWealth Inc. in 2011.
Outside Canada, Scotiabank is interested in buying more pension assets, such as last year's purchase of a stake of Colfondos AFP, Colombia's fourth-largest pension-fund company, and its April agreement to buy a stake in Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria SA's pension-fund management business, AFP Horizonte, in Peru, he said.
'Eye Open'
"We'll be keeping an eye open for other assets that may come available, but we'd only do them in markets where we already have a strong banking presence," Hodgson said. "We're not going to do it in markets where we have no other presence. It just doesn't make sense from our perspective."
Scotia's global wealth business has C$139 billion of assets under management, C$315 billion of assets under administration and operates in 24 countries, the lender said. The business had C$3.3 billion of revenue for the 12 months ended July 31. Insurance accounted for about C$600 million of revenue for the period, and operates in 30 countries.
Scotiabank President Brian Porter said during today's conference that he has an "appetite" for acquisitions to build on the lender's existing businesses.
"There are some markets where we'd like to have additional scale and some product categories where we're looking to be bigger," said Porter, 55, who becomes chief executive officer on Nov. 1.

For the first time, a school scored a perfect 100% in the
Otago Daily Times Extra! year 9 and 10 spelling quiz
last night.
The John McGlashan College 1 team of Alex Leckie-Zaharic
(13), Jaiden Tucker (13) and Boen Deng (12) had the
opposition spellbound at Otago Girls' High School.
''It's pretty cool. We're really happy,'' team member Boen
Deng (12) said.
''The only question we weren't sure about was where
chopsticks came from. We thought they were Chinese, but we
weren't 100% sure.''
It was the first time a year 9 and 10 team had returned a
perfect score, Extra! editor Ivan Behrnes said.
''That's it. They're not coming back again,'' Mr Behrnes
More than 40 teams competed in 10 rounds of spelling,
dictionary skills and understanding of abbreviations.
The teams looked beleaguered at times, but the pupils were
unflappable and had a chance to convalesce at the end of the
hour and a-half spelling quiz.
Beleaguered, unflappable and convalesce were just three of
the tricky words the pupils had to spell.
They were also tested on the origins of such words as
astronaut, Samurai and flamenco.
Results were. - 1, John McGlashan College 1; 2, Otago Girls'
High School; 3 equal, Logan Park High School 1 and 2.
The Central Otago quiz is in Cromwell next Wednesday and
Thursday and the Central South Island quiz is in Timaru on
July 2 and 3. Entries for the Extra! short story and poetry
competition close on July 4.
The Otago Daily Times Extra! spelling quizzes are part
of the newspaper's Class Act project, which celebrates the
excellence of young people.
Extra! is a monthly educational publication produced
by the newspaper for senior primary, intermediate and junior
secondary school pupils.

Job Details
The Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation in Milwaukee is the philanthropic legacy of two entrepreneurial brothers, Lynde and Harry Bradley. In 1901, while working for Milwaukee Electric, Lynde came up with what he thought was a better way to build the controllers that regulate motor speed. He soon quit his job, secured a small $1,000 investment from his lifelong friend and "father figure" Dr. Stanton Allen, and co-founded the Allen-Bradley Company with his brother in 1903. Believing strongly in the dignity and worth of each human being, the Bradley brothers were committed to preserving and defending the institutions of free, representative government and private enterprise that have enabled America and the entire Western world to realize that dignity. The Bradleys believed that the good society is a free society. Spanning 80 years -- owing much to the brothers' sound strategic decisions, their hard work and that of their employees, and the perseverance of all of them -- the business they created well-maximized its opportunities and greatly expanded its market share. In 1985, its value had skyrocketed to the point where Rockwell International bought it for $1.65 billion. The sale, 20 years after Harry's death, boosted The Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation's assets from less than $14 million to more than $290 million, suddenly putting it among the largest foundations in the United States. Since 1996, it has been headquartered in the historic and architecturally significant Lion House on Milwaukee's East Side. Steadfastly adhering to the Bradley brothers' donor intent, the Bradley Foundation remains dedicated to its mission strengthening the institutions, principles, and values that nurture and sustain the American Experiment and the West. Among other things, our programs support limited, competent government and a dynamic marketplace for economic, intellectual, and cultural activity. We also recognize that responsible self-government depends on enlightened citizens. Since 1985, the Foundation has made more than $530 million in grant awards to organizations that pursue its mission. With humane leadership, a growing reputation for effective strategic philanthropy, and a responsibly managed corpus, we are poised to continue furthering its donors' intent throughout the rest of this new millennium and beyond. Looking forward to this future, as the Bradley brothers certainly would have done, we are mindful of the challenges and opportunities presented by our role among America's philanthropies. And we are humbled by them. We are also prepared for them. The Foundation is consciously seeking to lead by example - in our ongoing analyses of the general policy and cultural contexts within which we are operating, in our consideration of particular grantmaking options, and in our assessments of whether the options we pursue are actually attaining their goals and objectives. As well, we are actively seeking to encourage and work with other funders that are pursuing many of the same aims to which Lynde and Harry Bradley philanthropically dedicated the wealth generated by their company.

"A rainbow on every loom" Fergana Travelogue by TheWanderingCamel
Fergana Travel Guide: 32 reviews and 117 photos
Textiles are the glory of Uzbekistanstan's long tradition of handcrafts, and the fabrics we call ikat and they call abrabandi are the peak of that achievement.
Abre is Persian for cloud and abrebandi means "tying a cloud". Whilst the artistry in these fabrics comes from the designer's understanding of how dye, warp and weft work together, it is the skill of the weaver at her loom that catches our eye as her shuttle moves faster that the eye can see and the pattern becomes apparent on the long strands of the dyed warp as she bangs the plain weft into place.
Anyone interested in knowing more about abrebandi/ikat - call them what you will - will find this article interesting. I'm off to join the weavers at their looms ....
When all the dyeing is complete, the hanks are twisted into an enormous skein that will be used as the warp of the fabric being woven. This hangs suspended and counter-weighted, 6 metres across the room and the warp threads are firmly tensioned back onto the loom.
The plain weft can be either silk or cotton.
Ordinary silk on silk is called atlas while the best quality is called khan-atlas.
Fabric with a cotton weft and a silk warp is called adras
The hand looms are typically only 30-45cm wide, so the cloth made on them is much narrower than cloth produced on a machine.
The demand for ikats outstrips the capabilities of purely hand-produced and loomed fabrics and nowadays machines have their place in the manufacturing process. The Yodgorlik factory's machines however are not the huge monsters of modern days, most of them would qualify for inclusion in a museum if this were not Uzbekistan.
The machine this man is using seperates the warp threads evenly before they are transferred to the loom. Watching him operate it, it was clear this is still a painstaking operation, barely mechanised at all.
Here a weaver is using a 19th century mechanised loom - capable of faster production of wider cloth than the handloom, it is still a long way from the industrial looms of today.
The resurgence of traditional Uzbek crafts since Independence is quite a phenomonen. The repression of the Soviet regime that saw individual creativity forbidden and generations of arcane knowledge lost has been swept away. A new generation of young men and women are being taught the crafts their grandparents practiced and their parents were denied.
With this renewal has come an appreciation of even older practices and a determination to rediscover techniques whose loss pre-dates Soviet times. Natural dyes are used in place of the aniline ones that had replaced them in the 19th century.
Dyed with such dyes - indigo, cochineal, madder and weld - this ikat was designed by the master, Turghunboy Mirzaahmedov who died in 2006, and woven recently in his family workshop. Unusually in a craft that keeps its secrets close, Master Mirzaahmedov kept notes and records of all his designs so that they continue today. One of the founders of the Yodgorlik factory, he left them a legacy of over 200 designs
It's adras - silk warp and cotton weft
Mirzaahmedov's son, Rasul, has gone even further in his quest to revive lost techniques. Among his successes have been the rediscovery of how to dye and weave velvet ikats - A'lo Bakhmal. The most luxurious of all Uzbekistan's luxurious fabrics, none had been produced for over 100 years. A complex and difficult technique requiring the dyeing of two warps and weaving with two wefts, it was only ever produced in Bukhara and then only for the Emir and his court. Now it features in the collections of designer Osca la Renta and others - and at prices you'd need to be an Emir to afford.
Rasul has also rediscovered the lost techniques of Khorezm silk weaving - this shawl, silk on silk, purchased at his medressah in Margilan is woven in this way. Quite different from ikat, it has a diapered weave, is soft and drapes beautifully - a real treasure. It didn't cost an Emir's ransom either.
Chapanahi is striped cloth, traditionally used for making chapans the long loose overcoat you see hanging in the markets and worn by men all over Central Asia. One of only a very few cotton cloths made in Uzbekistan still - what was once a thriving industry making huge variety of cotton fabrics, all with their own particular weaves and characteristics, was wiped out by cheap imports as long ago as the first half of the 20th century.
Have you read both the travelogues on this page? Just for fun - take the quiz here to see what you know about ikats. (The answer to Question 4 is 2005)

Don't buy it if you are trying to use it as a webcam ... or better yet don't buy it. For 150$ you get what you pay for. I didn't like the optics at all. It does support output to HDMI and RCA and USB. The downside is that if you plug in using the RCA or USB the camera shuts off. Pretty much useless for this type of activity.
Good concept, cheap, waterproff (apparently), about as small as an Iphone.

In an en banc review of an earlier ruling, the court held that a search of a police employees text messages violated his privacy rights.
According to briefs filed last month by the RIAA and Universal Music Group, it's illegal to sell, give away, or even throw out "promo CDs." Of course, this is exactly the argument that UMG made, and lost, in court last year. Despite that loss, and despite the open secret that many music reviewers have been dumping promo CDs in used record stores for years, UMG has opted to appeal. And this time they got the RIAA to weigh in on behalf of the industry, echoing UMG's view that promo CDs are owned by the labels forever.
So, Stereogum, Idolator, Pitchfork, Gorilla v. Bear, Fluxblog, and (my personal favorite) Large Hearted Boy, are all of you pirates if you can't account for every promo CD you've ever received (you do get them, don't you)? Not according to the district court that ruled in favor of Troy Augusto, an eBay seller that specializes in selling collectibles, including promo CDs.
Which brings us to UMG's appeal. Today, with the assistance of the San Francisco law firm of Keker & Van Nest, EFF filed a brief on behalf of Mr. Augusto, explaining why the appeals court should affirm the district court ruling.
Here's the short version: it's absurd to suggest that a copyright owner can give away hundreds of thousands of CDs, slap a "not for resale" sticker on them, and claim to own them forever. That's exactly what the "first sale" doctrine is meant to prevent. After all, if UMG were right, then Hollywood could slap a "not for rental" sticker on DVDs, thereby shutting down video rental businesses like Redbox. And book publishers could slap a "not for library lending" sticker on books. That's not the law, at least not since 1908, when the Supreme Court ruled against a "may not be sold for less than $1" label in this book.
We don't expect to get a ruling from the appeals court until sometime next year (the wheels of appellate justice move slowly), but until then, the district court ruling in favor of Mr. Augusto remains the only published ruling addressing whether selling promo CDs is legal. We're looking forward to the Ninth Circuit upholding it, and letting music reviewers breathe a little easier when they clean out the attic.
While there were rumors today that Comcast and AT&T might be entering into an agreement with the RIAA in the United States, it was in Ireland where the recording industry made its latest "three strikes" subscriber termination deal with the telecom industry -- using the courts and the threat of mass Internet filtering obligations as the inducement.
The Irish Recorded Music Industry (IRMA), the local recording industry organization, and Irish internet service provider Eircom announced a settlement this morning, ending a lawsuit in which IRMA was demanding that the ISP pro-actively discriminate content on their networks.
According to a text obtained by Irish tech journalist Adrian Weckler, the settlement says that the ISP will, when given a list of IP addresses by the music industry:
1) inform its broadband subscribers that the subscriber's IP address has been detected infringing copyright and
2) warn the subscriber that unless the infringement ceases the subscriber will be disconnected and
3) in default of compliance by the subscriber with the warning it will disconnect the subscriber"
In settling, Eircom has chosen not to defend a case which could have ended in court-mandated surveillance of all its customers. But this agreement now denies Eircom's own customers all future access to due process when accused of infringement. All that is needed to terminate an Internet connection is three accusations from a narrow set of third-party companies. As Eircom's head of communications Paul Bradley says:
"What happens at the moment is that music labels need to go to court to get an order asking us to shut off a subscriber's connection. Under the compromise, they will come to us, using the same standard of proof they would have given the court."
The difference is that an ISP is not a court; and its customers will never have a chance to defend themselves against the recording industry's accusations and "proof". To whom, without judicial oversight, has the ISP obligated itself to provide meaningful due process and to ensure that the standard of proof has been met?
The agreement, according to reports, also stipulates that IRMA will take "all necessary steps" to put the same agreements in place with Eircom's competitors, presumably using the same strategy of threatening the companies with legal action unless they sign up.
Now we'll see how fiercely other ISPs defend their users' rights; or, if they do comply, how ISPs enjoy being seen as allies of the recording industry in this famously unpopular war against their own customers.
Today, the New America Foundation, PlanetLab and Google announced the launch of the Measurement Lab project, an initiative to provide server resources for researchers interested in network neutrality and performance testing. This is good news for the community of academics and activists who are trying to map, measure and record the state of network management by ISPs as well as many other aspects of Internet performance.
The Measurement Lab is an alternative version of a pre-existing network called PlanetLab, which is run by a consortium headquartered at Princeton. Essentially, PlanetLab is a large network of computers that researchers can run experiments on. Until now, it has been hard to use PlanetLab for network neutrality tests because the system wasn't designed for it: all the code runs in virtual machines and might be starved of CPU time right in the middle of an attempt to take high-precision network latency measurements. M-Lab is a version of PlanetLab that is designed to ensure that when a test is running, it has near-exclusive use of a CPU core and network interface.
M-Lab is not a testing tool in and of itself; rather, it is a platform that will save researchers from having to deploy their own servers in order to run "active" network tests. Active tests are those in which the clients send synthetic traffic that is made up simply for the purposes of the test (M-Lab only works with active tests initiated by clients run on users' computers). M-Lab won't be useful for "passive" network tests which examine the way the network carries traffic that your computer was sending independently of the test. You can see a list of active and passive network testing tools here; EFF's Switzerland software is an example of the passive testing approach, although M-Lab will be useful if we add synthetic traffic generation features to Switzerland in the future.
M-Lab gets good marks for openness and privacy by design. The active-testing paradigm ensures that the network's servers will never receive real user traffic, which would need very high levels of privacy protection. Essentially, the servers may record traffic sent to their IP addresses, but the only software that will be sending such traffic will be clients that generate synthetic messages.
The code for the servers will be free/open sourced, and all of the experimental data it collects will be published. The most noteworthy disadvantage of the project is that use of M-Lab is currently limited to PlanetLab members, so testing projects that are not affiliated with research institutions will need to find academics to collaborate with if they want to use M-Lab servers.
And speaking of Switzerland: development on EFF's network testing project was slow in the past few months, but coding has started again, and we have a roadmap and release schedule for new Switzerland versions. We'll be posting to announce a new release (and reporting on some of the interesting network phenomena Switzerland has detected to date) in the next few weeks.
As we noted last week, the new WhiteHouse.gov site uses embedded YouTube movies, raising concerns of privacy and open government advocates. Embedded video clips can place or add to a cookie on the user's computer – thus enabling tracking of users as they use the web. In response, the Obama Administration acted quickly, implementing a partial fix that ensures cookies will only be used when the user chooses to play the video, and not automatically upon loading a page.
This is an improvement, particularly impressive for the speed of the response, and we commend the Obama Administration for it.
But during this process the White House counsel issued a waiver for video on WhiteHouse.gov, moving away from the longstanding presumption against the use of cookies on government websites first issued in 2000. The federal rule directing the government to avoid the use of cookies is based on the important principle that the government — and third parties — should not be tracking the movements of citizens when they visit government sites. The waiver reads in part:
For videos that are visible on WhiteHouse.gov, a "persistent cookie" is set by third party providers when you click to play a video.
This persistent cookie is used by some third party providers to help maintain the integrity of video statistics. A waiver has been issued by the White House Counsel's office to allow for the use of this persistent cookie.
Given the importance of the "no cookie" presumption to the privacy of visitors to WhiteHouse.gov, we'd like to know why the White House Counsel decided to waive it. To answer this question, we have sent a letter to White House Counsel Gregory Craig, asking him to detail the "information and analysis" on which his waiver is based.
While the White House counsel has no obligation under the law to reply to our query, we hope he will do so in light of the memo issued by the President on his first day in office instructing all agencies to "adopt a presumption in favor of disclosure… to usher in a new era of open Government."
We have also provided Craig, the folks at WhiteHouse.gov and YouTube with a short list of suggestions to better protect the WhiteHouse.gov users regardless of the waiver:
- Work with YouTube to end the retention of cookie data for any video embedded on a government site, including so-called "flash cookies." We see no reason why YouTube needs to retain this information and every reason why it can use this opportunity to make a solid commitment to the public good.
- The White House has already taken the helpful step of providing visitors with a direct-download link to a high definition MP4 of most video. To build on this, the site could embed the low definition videos using its own Flash-player and stream the video directly from the White House's own server, rather than relying on YouTube.
- Add a link to privacy information near each video embed specifically identifying third parties that may have access to the data, so that users will be fully informed of their risks and options.
And we have pointed out that the privacy concerns don't begin and end with the use of cookies. There are other ways that visitors to WhiteHouse.gov are leaking private data to third parties:
- An "invisible pixel" style webbug/tracker on every page on the site, hosted by WebTrends.com.
- The entire WhiteHouse.gov domain appears to utilize edge-caching technology provided by Akamai, Inc.
- Access to direct-download MP4s of video content appears to be hosted by Amazon S3.
In each of these cases, when a person visits the WhiteHouse.gov site, a third-party logs IP addresses and other personally identifiable information. Yet the limitation on cookies was espressly adopted in 2000 out of concern about the risk of the technologies that "can track the activities of users over time and across different websites."
So in addition to asking the White House Counsel for information about this waiver to allow third-party cookies, we've asked a specific question: What is the White House willing to do to continue to protect the privacy of visitors to government websites, even as it utilizes tools other than cookies that can do similar tracking?
President Obama is leading the way in making new and unprecedented use of the new technologies to keep the public informed and engaged. We are hopeful that his Administration will readily recognize that part of open and responsive Government is making sure that neither the government, nor any third parties, are tracking the activities of those who seek to access government information.
We have asked the White House counsel to respond to our two questions by February 6, 2009. We'll let you know what happens.
With trial looming, GateHouse Media and the New York Times over the weekend settled their dispute over "hyper-local" news aggregation sites on the NYT-owned Boston.com website.
The parties' joint press release pointed interested parties to the binding letter agreement [PDF] the parties signed over the weekend. The agreement includes several key points addressing past behavior:
- GateHouse will implement technical measures intended to prevent Boston.com from copying material from GateHouse websites and RSS feeds, and Boston.com will not attempt to break those measures.
- Boston.com will cease using GateHouse RSS feeds to create links on its hyper-local sites.
- Boston.com will remove any material on its hyper-local sites that were created using GateHouse RSS feeds.
In short, the parties are pressing the "rewind" button and pretending that GateHouse never offered the RSS feeds that massively simplified Boston.com's linking to GateHouse content. On a going-forward basis, GateHouse will try to make it difficult for Boston.com to automate such linking, and Boston.com will honor those efforts.
Does that mean that Boston.com won't link to GateHouse content any more? Seemingly not:
Notwithstanding the above prohibitions, nothing shall prevent either party from linking or deep-linking to the other party's websites, provided that the terms and conditions set forth in this Letter Agreement and in the Definitive Agreement are otherwise fully complied with.
That seems to say that Boston.com is free to link to GateHouse stories, so long as it doesn't take the shortcut of using GateHouse's RSS feeds (or scraping content from GateHouse's websites). GateHouse apparently accepts that Boston.com can link to its stories, but doesn't want to assist Boston.com in those efforts by allowing its RSS feed to be automatically processed into Boston.com news links. (As a practical matter, this may lead Boston.com to stop bothering to link to GateHouse articles at all. While that appears to be what GateHouse wants, some may question the wisdom of turning away free traffic.)
The parties are hard at work on a definitive (lawyer-speak for "much longer") settlement agreement, which they hope to complete by Friday. Maybe the longer agreement will shed further light on the situation.
But for now, it looks like the parties have resolved the matter in an manner that doesn't mangle copyright and trademark law.
Late last week, Microsoft launched a mobile phone music downloading service in the UK, but the public has quickly focused its attention on Microsoft UK's mystifying choice to include digital rights management (DRM) on its music files. PC Pro reports that the restrictions prevent buyers from playing the music anywhere but on the mobile phone used to make the purchase, while tracks from the iTunes Music Store and Amazon's MP3 store are cheaper and DRM-free.
In a follow-up Q&A published by PC Pro, a Microsoft UK executive attempts a familiar "defense" of the DRM antifeature -- acting like the consumer may want less freedom with their purchased media:
[Q:] With the likes of iTunes and Amazon offering DRM-free music that you can play on any device, why would anyone choose the MSN Mobile service?
[A:] There may well be people who just want to listen to the track on their mobile alone.
Even users that prefer to listen to MP3s on their mobile phone are able to load their devices with cheaper tracks from iTunes or Amazon; moreover those DRM-free tracks won't become unplayable when the user upgrades to a new model. It seems unlikely that MSN Mobile Music's DRM-laden service will see much growth after Apple and Amazon have publicly announced the end of DRM on their digital music sales. Forward-thinking companies should also recognize that DRM can be a liability -- facing mass consumer frustration, game publisher Electronic Arts was forced to retool its DRM scheme for the video game Spore and now faces a class action lawsuit over the SecuROM copy protection software. In the US, DRM's bad reputation has reached even the government, with the Federal Trade Commission planning a public meeting in March to gather views on DRM and its effects on consumers.
For MSN Mobile Music, there are really only two viable options for moving forward: come up to speed with the rest of the DRM-free music market, or fold.

For Kalpana Beach, there was no reason to draw out the inevitable, once she saw and heard exactly what she wanted for a college experience.
After an unofficial visit to Notre Dame ended Sunday, Beach, the No. 45 player in the ESPN HoopGurlz Super 60 for 2011, returned home to Westlake, Ohio, and made her decision Thursday. She gave the Irish her verbal commitment, the program's second among the country's junior class.
"I just knew there wasn't going to be any other place I'd want," Beach said Thursday. "The main reason is that they're known for being such a good academic school. I want to get a degree that will mean something."
But the academics, the Big East program's success, and the 3 1/2-hour drive for her family weren't the only perks for the 5-foot-11 guard. Beach said Muffet McGraw and her staff also said they would allow her to continue competing in track events. Beach, who runs the 200- and 400-meter races, finished second at state in the high jump as a sophomore.
"She had a great time and the whole thing just had a great aura," said Carlos Shea-Ron, Beach's SMAC club coach. "Knowing everything she wanted is wrapped up in a quality school like Notre Dame ... she's super happy."
The Westlake High School junior joins Whitney Holloway, a 5-4 point guard from Plainfield, Ill., who gave Notre Dame her commitment in May, as McGraw's two early 2011 commitments.
Beach relied on her parents' help from the beginning with the college decision. Her father, Sanjay Beach, has first-hand experience with the process after playing football at Colorado State before spending five years in the NFL.
"My parents helped me out through the entire process and took the stress away," Beach said. "I didn't really have a dream school; I just knew Notre Dame was where I want to be."
Beach took unofficial visits to Penn State, Michigan State, Duke and Ohio State before her unofficial visit to Notre Dame, and she was also considering visits to Louisville and Maryland, among others.

Just How Many History MOOCs are Being Offered Now, Anyway?
David Austin Walsh
Though many historians are nervous about the potential massive disruption in higher education due to the proliferation of massive online education courses, only a handful of MOOCs are actually dedicated to history. Of four of the largest MOOC providers survey -- Coursera, edX, Udacity, and Semester Online -- only eight history courses actually taught by history faculty are being offered. Popular MOOC provider Coursera only has two dedicated history courses taught by historians open for registration as of June 9, though at least one additional class is in development.EdX, the non-profit MOOC established by Harvard and MIT, also offers eight history classes, but most have a classics or literature focus and are taught by professors from classics, English, or area studies departments. Udacity does not offer history or traditional humanities courses at all, focusing instead on STEM and social science courses.

There is deep wisdom within our very flesh, if we can only come to our senses and feel it.
Elizabeth A. Behnke
Contributed by: Zaady
Perhaps in His wisdom the Almighty is trying to show us that a leader may chart the way, may point out the road to lasting peace, but that many leaders and many peoples must do the building.
Eleanor Roosevelt (1884 - 1962)
To know when to be generous and when to be firm - this is wisdom.
Elbert Hubbard (1856 - 1915)
The mintage of wisdom is to know that rest is rust, and that real life is in love, laughter, and work.
Every man is a fool for at least five minutes every day; wisdom consists of not exceeding the limit.
The man of wisdom is the man of years.
Edward Young (1683 - 1765)
Source: Night Thoughts. Night v. Line 775.
"What sort of man or woman shall I be; what kind of life shall I propose and hew out ?" The answer one frames to this question is his personal ideal, and will exercise a potent influence upon the development of his character and the direction of his conduct. Toward it the growing soul strives, day after day, year after year; its outlines, first existing only in the imagination of the heart, gradually, almost imperceptibly impress themselves on the soul and body, and manifest themselves in the outer life; "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he." The personal ideal distinguishes man from lower creatures; and its perfection and power mark the high and full development of humanity. Very early it becomes the directing influence in self-culture,-which is by far the most important part of education; all truly higher education is self-education; the mission of all training from without is to stimulate and aid and guide one to take charge of his own culture and career. Conscious education is always directed by some sort of an ideal: the school, the home, national education are laboring to mold men and women into certain general forms of excellence and virtue; the personal ideal is the image that one forms of his own possible self. The personal ideal must have power over our lives, else it is not an ideal at all, but only an idea. One must not merely dream of strength, of wisdom, of skill and power, of honor and righteousness, of nobility and generosity, - he must resolve to attain them. He must see himself pursuing and achieving, and be inspired and energized by the vision. Such a vision of power is the personal ideal.
Edward O. Sisson

The Porsche 911 T/R raced by Alan Hamilton in 1968-69 is arguably the most significant 911 to have competed in Australian motor sport.
It was not only the first of its type to race in the Australian Touring Car Championship but it also came within one point of winning the title outright in 1969, which would have been the biggest upset in ATCC history. It was a very special car, as you'll soon discover.

NEW YORK -- Fresh off taking a beating at Yankee Stadium on Tuesday night, Philadelphia Phillies ace Roy Halladay spoke softly as he made a loud point. After tying a career-high by surrendering three home runs, Halladay wore a blank stare but made one thing purposely clear.
The shelling the Yankees put on his head wasn't just bad considering Roy Halladay's future Hall of Fame credentials, it was bad by any measure.
"It wasn't good by any standards," Halladay said after being a no-show for his heavyweight battle with CC Sabathia. "I didn't make pitches. I made mistakes."
In beating Halladay and the Philllies, 8-3, the Yankees did some dirty work for the Mets, who are just a half-game behind the NL East-leading Atlanta Braves. The Phillies remained 3 1/2 games back.
The notorious Yankee killer, Halladay, took the loss and the blame. In giving up six runs (all earned) and eight hits over six innings, Halladay looked far from perfect as he allowed homers to Curtis Granderson, Nick Swisher and Mark Teixeira.
The problem? Halladay's cutter wasn't cutting and the Yankees sliced him into pieces.
"He wasn't as crisp as I've seen him in the past," Yankees hitting coach Kevin Long said.
In the past, Halladay has pretty much owned the Yankees, although it should be noted that of the nine times Halladay has allowed a home-run hat trick, the past three times (and four overall) have come against the Yankees.
Still, the story line going in, deservedly so, was Halladay's Yankee-killer numbers. He won 18 of his 24 decisions against the Yankees while wearing a Toronto Blue Jays uniform. In the past 26 years, only two other starting pitchers had ERAs of less than 4 with at least 100 innings against the Yankees, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. Halladay clocked in at under 3 (2.84). Only Pedro Martinez (3.20) and David Wells (3.47) were even in shouting distance.
But on Tuesday, the Yankees were dialing long-distance. Impacted by what he and his manager, Charlie Manuel, thought was a tight strike zone from home-plate ump Lance Barksdale, Halladay grew agitated as he strained his neck watching long balls find the seats.
"You try to hold things in as long as you can when you are out there," Halladay said of his emotions. "At certain points, you let it go."
It was pretty understandable, considering what the Yankees did to him. As Halladay said, he never really gave his struggling team a chance to get out in front. They fell behind early, and then Sabathia sat on the lead.
Granderson started off the home run barrage. He'd had some success before against Halladay. In a small sample size -- just 12 at-bats -- Granderson had five hits (.417) against Halladay, including a home run.
The Yankees were already up 2-0 when Granderson went deep to lead off the third, thanks to a Brett Gardner second-inning two-run triple. On a 2-2 changeup, Granderson made it a 3-0 game, knocking a solo shot to right.
After Robinson Cano smashed a double, Swisher took his turn. Swisher, who is starting to look like an All-Star, first used Barksdale's strike zone to get ahead 2-0, and then he took one of Halladay's non-cutting 90-mph cutters and nailed a two-run homer. In the process, Swisher broke his bat.
Swisher said that was only the second time he had ever broken his bat on a homer.
Teixiera added his home run, an excuse-me fifth-inning solo shot that ducked just inside the right-field foul poll, next to the 314-foot sign.
Halladay was frustrated by his night. It was supposed to be Cy Young winner vs. Cy Young winner. But the way Halladay saw it, he was bad by any standard.

Edwin Rodriquez SCARED of Adonis Stevenson
Ive never been a fan of this so called "prospect".
He barely beat Aaron Pryor Jr. He lost to Rosinsky, he looked like crap against George and now he's ducking Stevenson.
The IBF said they had to fight a title eliminator and because of prior sceduling for Rodriquez in Aug ... He was able to avoid that fight...then that fight was cancelled and all of a sudden Edwin Rodriquez is scheduled to fight some mediocre guy.
What happened to good fights...too much moving ppl slow to not taint their precious record but they don't take the fights they should or make it entertaining for us as fans. I'm sick of these slow moving prospects
Edwin Rodriquez is soft ... cash this loser out already so we can watch him get KO'd

In fairness he isn't the only 1 that doesn't want no part of Adonis. But IMO he did beat Will.

I dont mind it. The guy has some skills but is a work in progress. I feel like he gets hit too much and Stevenson would not be a very good match up atm. The guy does have 2 kids and a wife so why risk his life?
With that being said, I am not sold on Stevenson either. I think he just relies on his KO power. If you get someone who can box him and take a couple of his shots, he loses.

The entire division FEAR Adonis Stevenson.
But some believe otherwise...
1) Open a new tab, and go to YouTube
2) Copy/Paste: adonis stevenson 2005
3) Select the 1st video, and you'll see how Stevenson dominates Edwin Rodriguez back in the days...
*You'll probably understand WHY? Edwin is avoiding dangerous Adonis now...
- Now you know...
Adonis Stevenson is Faster...

I work in a office with another video producer and we have a networked Drobo. Currently we are using Backuplist+ to sync files to a common folder between our Mac Pro's. Works fine, but it's hard to know who's worked on what.
Is there a program out there that has version control and a GUI for a non-programmer like me?
I would be using it for video production, and not programming, like what Subversion systems are normally used for.
I've tried SparkleShare, but I can't get it to work with a local network - there could be a way to get that to work, I just don't know about it.

Well since we found out that my twins are in two amniotic sacs, it's possible to have a vaginal birth. The only thing is, if baby B (who has always been breech) doesn't flip I would have to have a c-section as well. I am so undecided about what to do. My husband wants me to have a c-section because he thinks birth will wreck me down there. Part of me wants the experience of vaginal and part of me is scared of a double whammy.
Any other twin moms know what they are going to do?

Thanks for the great plugin! It does (almost) exactly what I need. But there is one issue. I use the plugin on two cpt archive pages. I use the code in y functions.php below to add the post-type name to the url
function my_qmt_base_url() {
if ('activiteiten' == get_post_type()){
if('activiteiten' == get_post_type()){
return '../activiteiten';
else if ('arrangementen' == get_post_type()){
if('arrangementen' == get_post_type()){
return '../arrangementen';
add_filter( 'qmt_base_url', 'my_qmt_base_url' );
This works fine in all occasions except one. When the result is no matches, the post-type value is also empty. Changing the dropdown to other values will redirect to http://localhost/?activiteittypen=binnen&doelgroepen=bedrijven instead of http://localhost/waddenfun/activiteiten/?activiteittypen=binnen&doelgroepen=kinderen.
The code in my functions.php doesn't work anymore because there is no matching post-type. I think the solution is probably quite simple, but I can't seem to solve it...
Does anyone have a suggestion how to solve this?

I was convinced that the 1960s and '70s, my teen and young adult years, had to be the quintessential decade of change, a quantum leap in social and human consciousness unseen in history. But then I figured every generation must think that their decade of early adulthood was the most creative and enlightened of all time. I cast my thoughts back to what I knew of the 1920s, the Paris and New York centers of creativity, the Algonquin Round Table. The 1890s were rife with metaphysical exploration. So I began to believe my conviction that the 1960s were special was but a symptom of generational self-aggrandizement.
But as it happens, in the 1990s I became close friends with someone who…

The 1970s was the decade of the digital revolution. Computers existed long before that penultimate chapter of changing history but they came to the fore during the Age of Disco and the "Me Generation." It was the 1970s when the world began to quantize the universe into a series of ones and zeroes. I was in Los Angeles at the time and perhaps no field popularized the acceptance of digital reality more than the field of recording popular music.
For the first century of recorded music, recorded sound existed in the same way that it exists in nature: as a continuously variable energy wave, an analog sound wave. The pulses of sound in air were actually waves of air molecules…

Let's start with something we all know. Every adult understands the concept that we have two parts of the mind, a conscious mind and a subconscious mind. We know the conscious mind's role. It does stuff like analyze and calculate. It looks at data and offers opinions as to right action. In short, the conscious mind thinks. But it wasn't always that way.
The subconscious, on the other hand, runs everything else. It controls all bodily functions, ranging from digestion, heart rate, blood pressure, immune system, muscle movement, eye focus, perspiration to everything else. It organizes the repair of damaged cells in the event of trauma, operates body systems when we sleep and more. The subconscious doesn't think. It feels.…

Heartland Healing and The Reader are hardly late-comers to the GMO issue. The Reader published our first cover story on the subject way back in 1996, before most people could spell GMO. By now, most people realize that GMO is the popular acronym for "genetically modified organism."
Simply put, GMOs are the product of major corporations like Monsanto, Syngenta, Bayer, DuPont and BASF. By arcane science, a piece of genetic material is removed from one species (like fish, bacteria or mice,) and inserted into another species (like a tomato or corn plant or soybean). It's obviously something that couldn't be accomplished in Nature or by regular husbandry techniques such as cross-breeding cattle. That is, unless some alchemist wizard farmer out…

The Journal of Patient Safety puts the number of people killed in American hospitals by preventable medical errors at 440,000 yearly. The complete number is much higher, but even using the 440K figure, that's the equivalent of 60 Jumbo Jet crashes every month killing all on board. How long would we let an industry operate that crashed two Jumbo Jets full of people every day? Would you willingly get on a Jumbo Jet with those odds? Think you might look for an alternative?
American medicine is amazing when it comes to trauma and emergency medicine. But for chronic complaints and illnesses, general overall healthcare, our conventional approach is pretty narrow. The majority of Americans now turn to alternative medicine before…

Being healthy is our natural state. When we're not healthy, it means something has gotten out of balance. In order to keep the body in harmony with that natural state we must align with — wait for it — Nature. That's not always easy to do considering how modern society has assaulted and insulted the planet. But with only a modicum of effort, we can modulate the damage by adjusting behavior. This Top Ten List is loaded with seemingly simplistic suggestions, in no particular order. When you try them, you'll see the discipline required.

Life is simpler than you thought. There are but two emotions that energize our existence, that drive our behavior. At any given moment we are experiencing the emotion of Love or of fear. Once we examine the choice, we realize fear is not an option.
Love expands, includes, welcomes. Fear is Love's opposite. Fear blocks, constricts, immobilizes. When we are afraid, expansion is impossible. Fear temporarily blocks the flow of Love. Love will continue. That is why fear is futile.
When a system blocks energy, whatever that system is, it will fail and destroy itself. A car engine that runs out of the oil that keeps the resistance low will blow up. The electricity flowing through the wall of the…

Hi all.
I'm new to wordpress, to say that in advance. I noticed that the_excerpt() gives its text in an escaped form (i.e. "hi, it\'s me" instead of "hi, it's me)). Is this made intentionally?
If not, which place would be better to fix that behaviour? Directly in get_the_excerpt() (which actually fetches the excerpt text and returns it as a string to the caller, and the caller is amongst others the_excerpt), or should it be fixed by each caller of get_the_excerpt() if needed?
Bye, Mike

This is a new, very interesting and effective primer with a perfect amount (SPF20) of non irritating sunscreen for daily use. I use it over moisturizer as the last step of my AM routine (can be worn with or without foundation over it). It has a very blendable, light texture (with virtually no smell or ugly white cast) that smoothes on easily all over the face and neck. It does what a primer is supposed to by helping make up stay on evenly for many hours. But it also goes beyond that to build collagen all day long (for anti wrinkle and anti aging results), protects the skin from UVA/UVB damage and makes skin feel energized and glowing all day. I like this new and unique multi-purpose product concept very much but the price is a bit over the top!
