What President Clinton, Maternal Health and Blogging Have in Common
In the past 11 years, the Clinton Global Initiative, led by former President Bill Clinton, has commanded 194 "commitments" -- promises from corporations, NGOs, and world leaders -- totaling $6.5 billion in aid given to make the world a better place. This year, almost 32% of the commitments directly impact women and girls. They include college funding for 10,000 students, training girls and women in technology, and giving 10,000 out-of-school children in Pakistan the opportunity of an education -- among many other innovative and impactful programs. In fact, it's a given among the CGI crowd that educating girls, ending sexual violence against girls and women, improving maternal health and increasing women's access to capital is the key to stabilizing the world and strengthening national security.
Morra Aarons Mele, President Bill Clinton, and Emily McKhann of The Motherhood
I had the honor of sitting down with President Clinton for a roundtable discussion on what's on his mind when it comes to global issues. He said something I'll never forget, and to me it directly ties into our roles as bloggers and powerful women in social media. He said:
We live in a time when it's more important than ever before to know things -- not just facts, but to be able to put things in a coherent, sensible pattern. And we live in a time, if you just want to talk about the economy, where the model that works for economic growth and prosperity is cooperation.
But the model that works in politics is conflict. Where having a successful attempt to create a successful center of prosperity, whether it's a biotech center in San Diego or a computer simulation center Orlando or you name it that requires an almost obsessive attention to detail, and to building networks of cooperation. What we love in politics is conflict that can be stated as quickly and as hotly as possible. There is a huge disconnect between not just in substance but in the method between what produces prosperity and what produces good politics, and frankly good news coverage. There are places in America that have no recession, and not one of them looks like the anti-government ideal of the Tea Party crowd.
This got me thinking about the most effective ways we use our online networks to make social change. At its best, our online community of women is a model of cooperation. Things get dangerous and nasty when we take a page from the nasty political discourse of today, and declare war on each other. We blog to connect; we blog to feel recognized. We blog when we feel vulnerable about something and we're seeking support or some reassurance that we're not alone.
Pew data shows 61% of women bloggers list motivating others to action as a major or minor reason they blog; 51% of women bloggers list influencing the way others think as a major or minor reason they blog. Contrary to what it can feel like sometimes, only 15% of women bloggers say they blog to make money. We meet friends, we form deep bonds and we form tribes within the larger ecosystem of the blogosphere and social media.
And then, every so often, we are moved to action. It could be a huge issue, or it could be that someone we care about asks us to do something. I'm moved now by huge issues occurring in the vast world outside my daily life- issues I'm blessed to never have to think about.
In my few days at the Clinton Global Initiative and at the UN Foundation/Mashable Social Good Summit, there were many discussions about maternal health and its vast impact on the world.
A midwife from Kenya who is part of the White Ribbon Alliance said, "As long as mothers die, we are not secure." Everyone in the world has an interest in keeping mothers alive. Increased global economic health of women is not only a boon to women in the developing world, but to American women.
And as long as children die, mothers will grieve.
I can think of times over the years when social media has brought us together to grieve for our children. But now I'm focused on how it can bring us together to prevent the unnecessary death of children. And I'm amazed at the innovative online campaigns we can take part in to save mothers and children's lives. "Every 20 seconds, a child dies from a disease that could have been prevented by a vaccine," said Peg Willingham, Executive Director of Shot@Life, a new UN Foundation campaign that will deliver life saving vaccines to children in the developing world. Simple, and effective.
This week in New York, Christy Turlington movingly spoke about her campaign for maternal health, "Every Mother Counts." In speaking about maternal deaths, she said "Almost all of these deaths can be prevented. There are not a lot of issues you can say that about." Two of the UN's Millennium Development Goals are related to improving maternal and child health. Christy went on to say, "If we can't support a woman while she is giving life, then we don't support women" -- a sobering but true statement.
And ABC News has launched the Million Moms Challenge, a program ABC explains as "a call-to-action, a campaign for hope, a movement for change." The Challenge calls on American moms to connect with moms in the developing world around issues of maternal and child health.
Mothers who blog are constantly asked to support things. We have ask fatigue, a lot of us, and we have a lot of sweet offers being dangled in front of is. We can choose to put our voices and our power behind marketing products, or we can put them behind changing the world, one small act at a time. We can do both, because we are multi-faceted people and we need to earn a living. But if we work together, we can save a lot of lives, and make a commitment of our own.

Single Moms Stop Dating Wackos!
By Christina Eckert
It has happened yet another time. You, a sexy, smart single mom who considers herself pretty savvy meets a guy who seems perfect, and the two of you spend some really special times together. Things are just peachy and then out of the clear blue sky he drops some unforeseen relationship bomb. You thought you were hearing wedding bells, but looking back, it may have just been a warning siren. And just like that, as quickly as your bliss began, you find yourself single and absolutely mystified…and need of some single mom dating advice.
Does this scenario sound familiar? If your answer is a fed-up yes, you are not alone! These days nearly every single mom, or single woman for that matter has at least one romance war tale that sends shudders up her gal-pal's spines during happy-hour story time. And after the stories come the inevitable questions: Why do my princes keep turning into frogs? What has happened to the opposite sex? And of course, What am I doing wrong?
Here are some answers. Chances are good that the problem really doesn't have much to do with you at all. Society is changing every day, and we are seeing more and more Wackos wade their way into the dating pool. You have to be very careful when you go fishing for dates these days—you could end up catching a real stinker!
To be clear, the term Wacko is my catch-all word that defines the many unbalanced individuals who walk among us every day. Despite the tongue-in-cheek moniker, the subject of Wackos is a serious one.
Wackos of the very least offense are often greedy, arrogant, and self-centered. They like to control all situations and need to be the center of attention. They are like pesky mosquitoes, a minor irritation. Unfortunately, Wacko behavior can also be much worse. The most unsavory Wackos are prone to fits of vicious rage and may even be dangerous.
If you are one of the countless women who find themselves dating Wacko after Wacko, it is time for a change. There are good people out there, but if you're too busy wasting your time with guys who engage in crash and burn relationships, you'll never be available for real love. Wackos are often drawn to women who are willing to host them.
Women are very vulnerable to becoming Wacko hosts without even realizing it because so much of what makes a host is intrinsic to womankind.
To find out if you have been unconsciously attracting Wackos, ask yourself the following questions:
- Do strangers spill their life stories (often in embarrassingly graphic detail) within minutes of meeting me?
- Have I spent my life helping people, being a good friend, and more than periodically pulling the knife out of my back?
- Do I spend hours listening to "friends" and their problems only to be cut off when I try to share my own?
- Does my life lack balance?
Wackos like to take advantage of real and even perceived acts of hospitality. This applies to platonic relationships and certainly applies to romantic ones. Women who are viewed as pushovers are prime targets for Wackos. You may actually be attracting Wackos to your pool of available men. When these dysfunctional relationships go wrong, you find yourself taking all the blame. It's time to stop.
Read on to learn about the various Wacko-types women often date and how to stop the cycle.
The Wishy-Washy Wacko. This type of Wacko is probably one of the most frustrating! He is quick to fall in love and even quicker to fall out of it. The wishy-washy Wacko will sing you sonnets after the first date and tell you how deeply smitten he is. You'll actually begin to believe the hype. And then one day he vanishes into thin air, and explains himself only if you manage to corner him and demand an explanation. If you're lucky, you will hear an excuse like "I got scared" or even "I always do this." Wishy-washers really do believe they are in love at first sight. Unfortunately, this sentiment crashes and burns most of the time before your love can even get into the air—leaving you confused, hurt, and angry at being so casually dismissed.
The Smart Gal's Defense: Let action speak louder than words with this one. Its okay to revel in the compliments and general sappiness; just don't drown in it! Tell this emotionally stunted man-child that time will tell and to calm down before you contract diabetes from all the sugar spouting from his lips. If he hits the road after your coaching, that's fine. You already knew he was a high-risk Wacko.

How can you ignore the invitation that is our headline for TV Week Open Mic blogger Chuck Ross' special essay, that you can find if you click here…
ABC is losing a longtime executive, with the network telling staffers today in internal memos that Marla Provencio, executive VP of marketing and chief marketing officer, is exiting after 35 years at the network.
Variety reports that Provencio and ABC Entertainment President Channing Dungey sent out memos announcing the news. Provencio has been in her current position since November 2011.
"She first began her career at ABC working in on-air promiotions in 1979," Variety notes. "She was named executive vice president of marketing for ABC Entertainment in 2007, and had led ABC's marketing for many years prior."
Provencio notes in her memo: "I … have been involved in some of the most extraordinary marketing campaigns which has led me to one of the greatest realizations of my life — that the creative, and more importantly, hands-on creative, has always been my greatest passion and I want it to be the focus in the next chapter of my professional life."
Variety adds: "A search for Provencio's replacement is set to begin in the near future. Provencio will stay on as a consultant with the network through June."
Nintendo is readying to launch its edgy, millennial-focused new home/mobile hybrid entertainment platform and game console, Switch, on March 3. With a $299 price tag, the unit could be a game changer.
"The novelty of a mainstream gaming system that goes wherever you do feels gravitationally irresistible," Matt Peckham writes in Time magazine. "You can get why it exists by observing what it does, a feat that's true of little else in the games industry."
Peckham adds: "There's certainly none of that confusing 'Which screen do I eyeball now?' business per Nintendo's Wii U. Drop Switch in its cradle, count to three, and it's on your TV. Pull it out and it's in your hands. Decouple the Joy-Con controllers from its sides, pop the rear kickstand and it's on a table (or seat-back tray), your hands free to roam anywhere like creatures loosed from their cages."
Peckham also points out: "It's important to note how durable and substantial Switch feels, an unostentatious but strangely beautiful carbon-black slate that's like a blue collar version of an Apple product — all the same 'magical' design elegance, none of the pretension."

"In a major break for Bill Cosby, a judge ruled Friday that just one of the comedian's multitude of other accusers can testify at his trial to bolster charges he drugged and violated a woman more than a decade ago," the AP reports.
Cosby, 79, is due to go on trial in June in a sexual assault case. He's accused of assaulting former Temple University employee Andrea Constand at his home near Philadelphia in 2004.
"Prosecutors wanted to put 13 more women on the stand to show that his alleged conduct was part of a distinct pattern of behavior," the AP reports. "Montgomery County Judge Steven O'Neill disallowed all but one of those women, saying in a one-page ruling that he carefully weighed the possible value of their testimony against the potential prejudice to Cosby."
"The one witness who can testify says the comic drugged and assaulted her in 1996 at a Los Angeles hotel," the report adds.
J.C. Penney announced plans today to shutter stores and reduce its work force in response to a sag in the department store business. USA Today reports that the company will close between 130 and 140 stores and will offer buyouts to 6,000 employees.
"The company said Friday that it would shutter 13% to 14% of its locations and introduce new goods and services aimed at the shifting preferences of its customer base," the story reports. "The cuts come amid mounting challenges for once-stalwart department-store chains such as Macy's and Sears, which are also aggressively closing stores to shed costs as shoppers flock to alternatives."
A list of the stores to be closed will be sent out in mid-March, with liquidation sales expected to take place by the second quarter, the report notes.
Speaking to investors, Penney CEO Marvin Ellison said today: "It became apparent to us that our footprint was too large." He noted that the closures will "allow us to raise the overall brand standard of J.C. Penney" and invest in remaining stores.
A number of news organizations that Donald Trump has criticized were excluded today from a press briefing where White House spokesman Sean Spicer took questions from members of the press.
The Hill reports that the White House blocked CNN, The New York Times, The Hill, Politico, BuzzFeed, the Daily Mail, BBC, the Los Angeles Times and the New York Daily News from participating in the "gaggle," held in Spicer's West Wing office.
"Journalists from several right-leaning outlets were allowed into Spicer's office, including Breitbart, The Washington Times and One America News Network," The Hill reports. "A number of major news organizations were also let in to cover the gaggle. That group included ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, Reuters, Bloomberg and McClatchy."
The report notes that reporters from the AP and Time magazine were allowed into the gaggle but refused to attend.
Disney shook things up in its digital operation, announcing layoffs at its Maker Studios and its consumer products unit's digital publishing division. Engadget reports that the move eliminates about 80 jobs as part of a strategic shift that will drastically reduce the number of YouTube creators supported by Maker.
The move, which in part eliminates duplicated jobs, comes almost three years after Disney's $675 million acquisition of Maker Studios, one of YouTube's largest networks.
"The layoffs aren't enough for the YouTube network to start making money, though, so it also plans to shed tens of thousands of creators to concentrate on a chosen few," Engadget reports.
"The studio will no longer help most of its 60,000 creators gain visibility and sell ads," the report adds. "It aims to work more closely with 300 of its most popular creators with the largest followings instead, as well as those most suited to work with Disney. YouTube creator Alexys Gabrielle, for instance, is making a show that's a tie-in to the 'Oh My Disney' website that features games, interviews and skits promoting the company's franchises."
The Hollywood Reporter notes that the operation is being rebranded as the publishing and digital media group, overseen by Executive VP Andrew Sugerman. The moves, THR reports, are "part of a renewed focus within the company to create a more cohesive cross-platform programming strategy."
In a statement Thursday, Sugerman said: "We're building a digital media network of Disney and non-Disney content for kids and millennials on the platforms they use every day. For advertisers, this network offers mobile, video, short-form content, micro-content, and influencers, all at scale."
Plans have been locked in for a cable drama series to return in two weeks for its final season on U.S. television. BBC America announced that season five of "Ripper Street" will premiere Wednesday, March 10, after which the show will wrap.
The final season will consist of six episodes. The British series already wrapped in the U.K., where season five rolled out in October on Amazon U.K.
"Ripper Street" is a Tiger Aspect and Lookout Point production in association with Brown Bear Films for Amazon and BBC Worldwide, co-produced with BBC America.
Here's a teaser for the show's final season, released today by BBC America …
The star of a reality television series is suing the show's producers, claiming that she had to put her life at risk to honor her contract, all because the show wanted to get exciting footage.
Variety reports that the suit was filed in federal court in Alaska by Susan Aikens, star of National Geographic Channel's "Life Below Zero." Produced by BBC Worldwide, the show tracks the activities of subsistence hunters in a remote area of Alaska.
"The lawsuit, first reported by KTUU in Anchorage, contends that her contract was so onerous that she felt forced to do whatever the BBC producers told her to, regardless of her safety concerns," Variety reports. "A spokeswoman for the BBC said the company has not yet reviewed the lawsuit and would have no statement."
Variety reports that Aikens alleges in the suit that "a producer on the show forced her to drive her snow machine across an icy river at 60 mph. She crashed and was thrown from the vehicle. While she lay in the snow suffering from serious injuries, Aikens claims the BBC crew delayed her rescue in order to get more footage."
The report notes that the suit faces significant hurdles, including "contractual provisions releasing the BBC from all claims arising from the production. The contract also states that Aikens knowingly assumed the risks of injury and death associated with the show, including the hazards of traveling in all-terrain vehicles in harsh weather."
Social media, the paparazzi and major media outlets got caught up in Justin Bieber hysteria Thursday over a potentially embarrassing incident for the pop star, which Bieber attempted to deflect by addressing it on Instagram.
The frenzy erupted after Bieber was photographed out and about in West Hollywood with a wet stain on his sweat pants — in a particularly strategic area. Speculation immediately began swirling that he had experienced a lapse of bladder control.
Bieber invoked a quote from the Adam Sandler movie "Billy Madison" in an effort to seize the high ground (you can see his post below), but that move backfired with some fans, who became more convinced than ever that the spot was something other than water.
Bieber later followed up with a clarification on Twitter, explaining: "Someone got me flowers and I was driving, made a turn, and the water spilled on my d–k area…Didn't bother me if it made ya laugh nice!"

17. Dexter - Cody Bennett
Rumor has it that the original Cody sucked. So the writers needed an actor who could handle more lines. Harsh.
Couldn't they have just replaced Doakes? Nobody liked him anyway…
16. Ghost Writer- Gaby Fernández
We don't need Ghostwriter to solve this mystery. We know what happened here, and Mother Nature is the culprit. You know what that means, the first Gaby had to be replaced because she looked too 'old'.
Well played Ghostwriter, well played.
15. Modern Family - Lily Tucker-Pritchett
The original Lily was portrayed by two identical Asian girls. Apparently they only did the 1st and 2nd seasons because they weren't enjoying acting…
Stupid parents. Your kids could have been the second coming of the Olsen twins, but you threw it all away because they were cranky.
14. That 70's Show - Laurie Forman
Just because everyone was "high" on the show doesn't mean us viewers were. Clearly the writers thought we wouldn't notice a completely different Laurie. COME ON. Even after eating a tray of special brownies we'd be able to tell the difference, who were you fooling!?
Sad news bears, first Laurie left the show because of personal reasons. We know that's code for drugs. Ironic, no?
13. Boy Meets World - Topanga's Mom and Dad
No wonder Topanga was so messed up in the beginning seasons of the show. She had so many parents it must have been traumatizing. She didn't have an identity, unlike her parents who had many!
We doubt the writers planned to have her parents change, but with the names Jedediah and Rhiannon they had to have known we would have caught on. Those are two insanely unique names.
It all makes sense now…
12. Boy Meets World - Morgan Matthews
Okay kudos to the Boy Meets World casting for at least keeping Morgan a blonde, but that's all they did right. They did subtly address the change but it was weak.
Their explanation for new Morgan's disappearance/reappearance? Look at this:
Shit's weak.
*Well maybe BMW casting did do one thing right: New Morgan was sassy and sarcastic and we loved her for it.
11. Boy Meets World - Harley Keiner
There are so many easy ways this could have gone down, as a troublemaker Harley could have gotten shipped off to boarding school or even sent to juvi.
For one episode he was replaced by the guy on the left. Why? Don't even have him in the episode. Was he that vital? We think not.
10. The Office - Pam's Mom
Pam's first mom was… how can we put this? Very mom-like. From her mom jeans to her comfy sweater, her appearance in the early episodes shot her into America's hearts. BUT THAT WASN'T GOOD ENOUGH. That's right, in the famous wedding episode writers replaced her with another actress and basically made her a cougar who slept with Michael Scott. What?! Do you have a personality disorder Office writers?? Completely change a characters personality with no explanation. Sure. Makes total sense.
9. The O.C. - Trey Atwood
First Trey (Bradly Stryker, is that your real name? It's almost as good as Rider Strong) only appeared in two episodes.
Trey finished serving time and came out ten years younger and way hotter. Only in Newport Beach would that happen. Again, makes no sense, but we forgive you because we just got lost in second Trey's eyes.
8. The O.C. - Kaitlin Cooper
We are noticing a trend here OC. Trey comes out younger. Kaitlin comes back older. This is addressed by the lovable Seth Cohen who says " You have uh, you have grown…" Kinda creepy, but Seth can do no wrong.
7. Shameless - Mandy Milkovich
The show is filled with so much craziness so we don't think anyone noticed this switch.
All white girls look the same anyway.. MOVING ON
6. Clueless - Mel Horowitz
Don't get us started on this one.. Well okay, did the new Mel get gastric bypass surgery, go tanning, and get hair plugs in between Season 1 and Season 2? Because we have no other explanation for this.
5. Fresh Prince of Bel Air - Vivian Banks (Aunt Viv)
This is one of the more well-known TV switcheroos. Uncle Phil divorces and remarries, car crash, or a drive by shooting after a visit to Philly. These are just a few of the things that could have happened to Aunt Viv, but no, she got STRAIGHT UP replaced with a woman who was 50 shades lighter than her.
4. Family Matters - Harriette Winslow
9 episodes, you couldn't stick it out for 9 more episodes? Not only did Family Matters replace her 9 episodes before the series finale, but the replacement doesn't even come close to looking like our beloved Harriette.
For devoted fans of the show, it was like a punch to the face! At that point, don't insult our intelligence; just write her out of the show.
JoMarie Payton would rather spend time promoting her jazz album than finishing out one of America's favorite sitcoms, we'll never forgive her for that.
Yes, you read it right, we said jazz album…
She left us in the shadows, the Southern Shadows.
3. Saved By the Bell - Zack's Dad - "Peter Morris" and "Derek Morris"
They have two different names, whaaaaaaaat?
Sit and ponder about that for a minute.
This makes us feel like Jessie when she was hopped up on too many caffeine pills.
2. Baywatch - Hobie Buchannon
You may recognize this familiar face on the left from another sitcom, Step by Step. Brandon Call was actually the original Hobie, but supposedly chose to leave due to the shows poor ratings in the first season. That was a bad Call, Brandon.
Due to Pamela Anderson's boobs, Baywatch became a phenomenon and the new Hobie, Jeremy Jackson reaped the benefits, and decided to party hard for the rest of his life.
Side Note: Do you not get chills when you hear the beat of the drums (dun dun dun dun dun) during the intro of Baywatch?
1. Roseanne - Becky Connor
You could say that this one set the Barr.
Let's break it down for you. Original Becky decides to go to college, leaves the show. New Becky joins the show for 3 seasons. Old Becky graduates and comes back to the show thinking it will be the last season, leaving new Becky jobless. But surprise bitches, Roseanne got renewed for the real last season. Old Becky leaves yet again to do God knows what and new Becky comes in like a champ to finish out the series.
However, the best part about this is that Roseanne addresses these changes multiple times throughout the show in very clever ways.
Skip to 1:04 for the good stuff.
Gullah Gullah Island - Binyah Binyah Polliwog

It's no surprise kicker Nick Folk would be a soccer fan.Credit: Getty Images
What the rest of the world calls football is shockingly popular in the locker room of what Americans call football.
A big chunk of the Jets locker room will be closely watching this summer's World Cup, including the opening game of the tournament for the United States on Monday.
Metro New York asked some of the soccerheads on the Jets for their predictions for America's World Cup quest, which opens on Monday night against Ghana. Keep in mind, the United States has lost to Ghana in each of the past two World Cups.
These American soccer fans don't seem care much for that stat, as these predictions show:
Linebacker Nick BellorePrediction: United States 3, Ghana 1"USA avenges previous Ghana defeats. They win 3-1. Best U.S. team since 2002, Ghana's vets are getting older, combined with the new youth on the United States, gives the edge."
Kicker Nick FolkPrediction: United States 3, Ghana 2"We have been playing well and Tim Howard is on a roll!"
Defensive end Leger DouzablePrediction: United States 1, Ghana 1"I'm gonna say 1-1 tie. Ghana's pace will trouble us but the heart and fight of the U.S. will get them a goal."
Punter Ryan QuigleyPrediction: United States 2, Ghana 1"I think the U.S. will win in a close one. Seems like all the pieces are coming together at the right time. Offense looks as good as ever. Ghana has always been tough in the past but I think we got them this time. Need at least a point with the group we're in."

... to the Northwest and the 3 NP's in Washington and to the Southern part of Texas to complete a bunch of the things on our bucket list.
Sure was good to get home and eat a real breakfast those "FREE" motel breakfasts sure leave a lot to be desired. We did eat some great food and used Trip Adviser Restaurant guide as our way of getting the good ones.
Thanks to all who made comments on the blogs.

Scenic drive through upstate New York
Campground $30
Gas $2.39
Very scenic drive through New York State, heading toward the Adirondacks - the trees are very green but with some fall colours just starting. The campsite is rustic and very quiet, not too busy.
Highlights: Downtown Corning, beautiful town with old buildings and pretty parks
Rest stops are labelled "Text Stops" - very clever!
Hall of fame OMG worth every minute
... senses a time warp as it carried me right back to my youth ( as misspent as it was) and then meandered to present day.
The field behind the Hall is pretty special as well as I looked from the original grandstands to the field and it was easy to envision a game in progress.
To say the Baseball Hall of Fame is a very special place is an understatement I am truly thankful to have been there.
Oh by the way the Town is well worth the visit on its own.
Three states today top that!!
... settle in for the night and tomorrow the Hall of Fame awaits reliving my youth and ball experiences. As well as a journey through the various years of my life and decades with players who I watched or read about, admired for their skills. Interesting how people you do not really know on a personal level can have an impact on your life.
Lin cooked an incredible dinner with bacon and Moose pancakes all very delicious I might add!!

... campus. We went to Pita Pockets for lunch...so good! It was a Mediterranean place owned by a man from Syria. He came to the United States about 2 years ago. He was very friendly and gave us some free food.
We arrived in Utica, NY to the Radisson hotel where we are staying. Poor Utica! It is a ghost town. So many empty buildings and the streets are deserted. We got some dinner at the hotel restaurant. ...

This one is ZERZURA X DESERT MOONLIGHT. Exactly what I expected and also
what I hoped for. This is a dull cross for me. Not as much fun as the TB X
AB or wilder crosses. However, for once I was after something specific. Of
all those in this color pattern, DM is my favorite. It just has been a
better, more consistant performer without any snaking and really good
substance. Though I get things via its pollen, it won't set seeds for me.
So I was hoping for a plant with some of the DM characteristics that would
set a pod. This one will work just fine if it will. It bloomed today in
wind blowing from 25-35mph. It's still standing and so are the standards.
No sign of the weak standards or occasional (not often) snaking of Z. DM
traits. There are a dozen or so siblings that probably won't bloom this
year. So maybe enough will have what I want and also be readily pod

Job Description for Area Manager, Retail
The retail area manager oversees and directs other employees, typically in one section or department of the retail store. This professional handles a number of managerial responsibilities, such as directing workers to perform tasks, assigning individuals to specific areas of the retail space, training new hires, holding interviews for prospective workers, and providing feedback and help for employees as needed. The retail area manager is also responsible for ensuring work in their area of responsibility is completed efficiently, as well as implementing new procedures or methods to increase productivity. They generally reports to the store manager, although they may report to the general manager on occasion (such as a biweekly or monthly basis) to report on how the store is doing, improvements being made, and suggestions for future growth. The retail area manager may be promoted to the store manager, and then further promoted to regional manager, based on performance and how long the employee has been with the company.Read More...
Generally, the retail area manager position requires a bachelor's degree in business administration or a similar field, although some companies do not require a postsecondary degree. Most companies require at least two years of experience in retail logistics or store management. The retail area manager is required to stand for long periods of time, and the position may also require occasionally lifting heavy objects such as boxes and merchandise.
Area Manager, Retail Tasks
- Direct daily operations of retail stores in a geographic area, monitoring sales, expenditures, and store activities.
- Hire and train store managers, oversee promotion, transfer, and discipline of employees.
- Communicate and enforce corporate policies and procedures.
- Review store budget, sales, and activity reports to evaluate store performance.
Common Career Paths for Area Manager, Retail
Add this chart to your site: 640px 300px
Many Retail Area Managers move into a Retail District Manager role, and folks who currently hold that position report a much higher median income of $71K per year. Given that the median pay is $32K, it may be surprising to find that a Retail Store Assistant Manager is the most common role for Retail Area Managers to subsequently assume on their way up the ladder. Transitioning into an Operations Manager role — which pays $59K — is also typical for Retail Area Managers, though less common by comparison.

Popular Skills for Area Manager, Retail
Retail Area Managers seem to wield many skills on the job. Most notably, facility with Team Leadership, People Management, and Operations Management are correlated to pay that is significantly above average, leading to increases of 54 percent, 42 percent, and 24 percent, respectively. Those listing Inventory Management as a skill should be prepared for drastically lower pay. Training and Retail also typically command lower compensation. Those proficient in Customer Service are, more often than not, also skilled in Merchandising and Operations Management.
Pay by Experience Level for Area Manager, Retail
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Experience and pay tend to be weakly linked for Retail Area Managers — those with more experience do not necessarily bring in higher earnings. The average worker who claims fewer than five years of experience earns around $47K. In contrast, however, individuals who report five to 10 years in this occupation see a much larger median of $56K. For Retail Area Managers, 10 to 20 years of experience on the job amounts to an average salary of $59K. In the end, the overall pattern seems to be that more experience generally corresponds to higher pay; a Retail Area Manager with more than 20 years of experience can earn $68K on average.

Agilent Technologies Collaborates With Seoul National University on New Research Center
Facility to Support New Drug Development Center in College of Pharmacy
SEOUL, South Korea, May 12, 2014
Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today announced a collaboration with Seoul National University, one of the world's leading universities and Korea's top research university, on a new research center that will support the College of Pharmacy's New Drug Development Center.
As stated in a memorandum of understanding signed by Seoul National University's College of Pharmacy and Agilent, the collaboration aims to conduct drug metabolism studies; research, evaluate and develop new compounds; understand the remedial effects and toxicity; assess pharmacokinetics; and conduct clinical tests for drugs.
"The College of Pharmacy at Seoul National University has a long tradition of driving innovation," said professor Bong-Jin Lee, dean of the college. "We have been leading Korea's pharmaceutical industry through the strategic use of technology and driving the development of new drugs. As we prepare students for the future, we will push the frontiers of drug development by expanding our research facilities, producing outstanding research, and leading the development of technology. We are pleased to collaborate with Agilent, as our scientists and researchers require the latest, most sophisticated instruments for their work."
Agilent will provide bio-analytical instruments and expertise in pharmaceutical drug testing and multi-omic biological systems to the College of Pharmacy. The jointly established research center will also serve as Agilent's reference site for drug development.
"One of the megatrends fueling life science research is the aging population," said Agilent's Rod Minett, general manager, Life Sciences, South Korea and South Asia-Pacific region. "Through continual research, trials and developments, we believe that newer, more effective drugs can be developed. As such, Agilent is pleased to support SNU College of Pharmacy's drive to create better drugs for a safer and healthier population."
This new research facility will be located at the New Drug Development Center at SNU's College of Pharmacy. The New Drug Development Center is an advanced multi-purpose research center for drug development, from identification of new drugs through to clinical trial testing. The six-story center houses facilities for analysis, efficacy testing, and medicinal ingredient research; it also contains a medicinal chemistry laboratory.
About Agilent Technologies
Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) is the world's premier measurement company and a technology leader in chemical analysis, life sciences, diagnostics, electronics and communications. The company's 20,600 employees serve customers in more than 100 countries. Agilent had revenues of $6.8 billion in fiscal 2013. Information about Agilent is available at www.agilent.com.
On Sept. 19, 2013, Agilent announced plans to separate into two publicly traded companies through a tax-free spinoff of its electronic measurement business. The new company is named Keysight Technologies, Inc. The separation is expected to be completed in early November 2014.

A lot of readers have been hitting the mailbag or the chats and saying they're not seeing or hearing many people talk about the New Orleans Saints as a possible Super Bowl contender.
Well, one man with some inside knowledge said the Saints are confident they can contend. That's coach Sean Payton. After practice in Oxnard, Calif., on Wednesday night he was asked if his team has as good a chance as anyone to reach the Super Bowl.
"I think you go into each season with that, and I think we have confidence and we understand how difficult that task is and yet we look forward to the challenge,'' Payton said. "We have enough guys that have had experience and played in that game and understand all the things that go into it, so I think there is a confidence level that we have in playing in that game and yet we understand how difficult it is to get there. We have a lot of work to do still.''
The Saints won the Super Bowl in the 2009 season, but stumbled a bit last season and lost to Seattle in the first round of the playoffs. What's it going to take for the Saints to get back to Super Bowl form?
"I think to get to that game you have to be a team that is opportunistic,'' Payton said. "You have to do very well in the turnover ratio as the season goes on, you have to win that, you have to have balance offensively, and there's a little bit of good fortune that takes place in regards to injuries, and you have to be very consistent week in and week out.''

Re: Gallery Recovery
Welcome to Android Central! What phone do you have, and which gallery app were you using? Was it the stock "Gallery" app, or the Google+ related "Photos" app? Try opening the Photos app, swipe in from the left, scroll down and tap Trash--see if the photos are there.
I'm not sure how you could have deleted all of your photos, unless you somehow did a Select All first, or unless you deleted the folder. Do you remember exactly what you did?
