Making dreams come true – a 2011 report
We're approaching the end of 2011, and I thought I'd make a little summary of all the dreams I put into reality in 2011. Oh, how wonderful it feels to look back at all the awesome experiences I've had! Why don't you use this as inspiration to put together your own list? Or better yet, to put your own amaxing dreams into reality in 2012? Looking back on 2011 – here's what I did:
Lived 6 months in Kingston, United Kingdom
Living abroad has always been a dream of mine, and now I've actually done it. In 2011, I finished my one year of photography studies in Kingston Upon Thames. In case you wonder (or share the dream), living abroad was perfect and exciting. Even shopping for the most common groceries was fun and different! It's a steep learning curve, and you don't go a day without discovering something new. And just to make sure I don't glorify it – I did experience loneliness and homesickness too. It was worth it.
Studied photography
In the midst of law studies, I had always dreamt of studying something creative. So (naturally, I would say), I packed up my things and decided to give myself one year. In 2011, I completed my year as an art student and I loved every minute of it. I can openly admit I don't want to make a living as a photographer, but I really enjoyed the creative process and the buzz of going to galleries and call it "studying".
Travelled the world
In 2011, I visited 9 countries – UK, Latvia, Denmark, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, India and Austria. Together with my boyfriend and my sister, I spent 2 months in the summer backpacking. Tokyo and India had been on my dream destination list for years and I finally made it there in 2011. In case you wonder how I managed to do it economically: I borrowed money from my mother, my sister, my boyfriend and I used all my credit cards. Crazy? YES. Irresponsible? YES. Worth it? YES!! I've now paid off all the debt and I'm an amazing experience richer. Do it at your own risk, but my advice is simple: DO IT.
Reached new traffic highs for The Freedom Experiment
I won't try to hide the fact that I squeal with delight when I check google analytics to find that lots of people have visited my site. And I do a little dance every time someone comments to share their liking of my writing. Therefore, making the Freedom Experiment grow is a constant dream of mine. I want it to flourish, to shine. In 2011, I hit an all-time high: 11,829 unique visitors in ONE DAY. Dream come true for sure! Thank you so much!
… and all the small things:
In 2011, I went to a Melissa Horn concert, bought a MacBook Air, got linked to by a huge blog, a birthday wish from a personal hero, stayed two nights in a five star resort with private pool i Bali, survived the Tokyo metro, had my first internship in a top law firm (got offered a second one), travelled to Kitzbühel with McKinsey & Company, made wonderful new friends, visited my friends in Kingston this fall, celebrated Christmas in our own flat + + +

The Emergence Of Modern Mexico
The period between Mexican independence and the constitution of 1917 was turbulent and painful
April 1969 | Volume 20, Issue 3
Between 1821 and 1861, while fifty-six different governments came and went, daily life in Mexican towns preserved its unique blend of European and Indian ways. The handsome display of foods in the market stall at right is in the traditional Indian style that can still be seen and admired by visitors to Mexico. The three pictures at left were painted by Augustín Arrieta. In 1839 Fanny Calderón de la Barca, the Scottish wife of the first Spanish ambassador to Mexico, described a scene like the one in the bottom painting: "Street cries begin in Mexico at dawn and continue till night. At midday the beggars begin to be particularly importunate, and their cries, and prayers, and long recitations, form a running accompaniment to the other noises. Then above all rises the cry of 'Honey cakes! Cheese and honey!' Tortillas, which are the common food of the people and which are merely maize cakes mixed with a little lime, and of the form and size of what we call scones, I find rather good when very hot and fresh-baked, but insipid by themselves. They are considered particularly palatable with chile, to endure which in the quantities in which it is eaten here, it seems to me necessary to have a throat lined with tin." In an upper-class store (left top) girls sell candy and horchata , a Spanish soft drink made from almonds and fruit juice. The common drink of the lower classes was and still is pulque, which is consumed in rowdy drinking houses called puiquerías (left center). The traditional alcoholic drink of the Aztecs, pulque is made by fermenting juice from the maguey cactus. Unlike its sophisticated stepdaughter, tequila, it has a heavy flavor resembling sour milk. Pulque does not keep well, and good puiquerías pride themselves on its freshness.
Colonial priests taught the Indians not only the rudiments of Christianity but also European architecture and decorative arts; Mexico in time came to rival Spain in the magnificence of its churches. Church festivals were enthusiastically absorbed into the popular culture, and if the people had only a superficial understanding of religious doctrine, they made up for it by the devotion and earnestness they displayed in the great religious celebrations. All was not peace within the Church, however. In stern opposition to priests like Hidalgo and Morelos, who fought for independence and reform, stood conservative prelates who supported the colonial government. Even after independence, the Church was still closely tied to the government —its tithes were collected by the State. In the economy it was the largest landowner, its revenues in the first decades of independence being five times those of the federal government. It was also, in a sense, a state within the State, since people connected with the Church enjoyed immunity from national law. Inevitably, the Church came under attack. It was responsible for education; but even in Mexico City ninety-five per cent of the people were illiterate. Many rural parishes were badly neglected in every respect. Working men were asked the equivalent of five months' pay for a wedding or funeral. That such conditions prevailed despite the Church's great wealth galled the liberals. Stimulated by similar attacks in Europe, they put the blame for all social ills on the clergy. By the middle of the nineteenth century the Church question was heating up, and the two extremes were moving further apart, hardening their positions and blotting out all possibility for compromise.
The handsomest, best-known avenue in Mexico City is the Paseo de la Reforma, which commemorates the reform constitution of 1857. The best-known, most respected leader in Mexican history is Benito Juárez, whose views inspired the reform and whose leadership made the new constitution stick. He was typical of the wave of liberal revolutionary reformers who swept out Santa Anna in 1855. A Zapotec Indian from Oaxaca, Juárez became Minister of Justice, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, and finally, in 1858, President of the Republic. The reforms forced the Church to give up most of its lands, secularized education, and legalized civil marriages. The jurisdiction of religious and military courts was restricted, giving all citizens equality before the law. The conservatives counterattacked with civil war, 1858–60; but they were defeated by Juárez' forces. Desperate, the conservatives sought the intervention of Napoleon III, who was only too glad to oblige. After an eighteen-month fight, his troops entered Mexico City in 1863 and installed Maximilian of Austria as emperor, forcing Juárez into exile. In 1866, however, needing his troops in Europe and facing American hostility, Napoleon withdrew. The following year, Juárez returned, Maximilian was executed, and the constitution was restored. Juárez was reelected President in 1867 and 1871, but he died suddenly in 1872. Although he did not live to see the Mexico he dreamed of, his fame and influence, like Lincoln's, grew after his death. Many of his sayings have become household expressions. One of the most typical and frequently quoted is: "Respect for the rights of others is peace."

Tibet Attractions List
by admin on Dec.03, 2010, under Attraction
For centuries Tibet has fascinated travellers from around the world. Remote and once difficult to reach, it lies at an average height of nearly 5000m above sea level in the world's highest region. This Himalayan area is, of course, home to the world's highest mountain, Mount Everest or Qomolangma, as the Tibetans know it. The stunning views of countless, snow-capped mountains are unforgettable, as are the beautiful clear waters of lakes such as Yandrok Lake, which the Tibetan people regard as a holy site.

Ireland is full of magic and no matter how long you are staying it is likely you will return home with some unforgettable experience. The most exciting part is that despite being a small island the landscape is extremely varied. All around Ireland there are spotless beaches and majestic cliffs. Other places are flat or present a variety of mountains and lakes. The aim of this web site is to share some of the beauty this island has to offer. Think of it as a glimpse into Ireland's eyes. It is your guide to travelling and living in Ireland.
Ireland is part of the European Union and for many years it had one of the most dynamic economies. Nicknamed the Celtic Tiger the growth seemed to be unstoppable as more and more companies set up their base here due to the low corporate rate. Also a well trained workforce that spoke English was very appealing to multinational companies.
During the boom years lots of hotels were built and in general the infrastructure for the tourism industry was created that matches some of the best destinations in the world. (continue reading...)

Civil Unrest/Political Tension
We advise you to exercise a high degree of caution due to political uncertainty. You should avoid demonstrations and large public gatherings throughout Cameroon as they may become violent.
Bakassi Peninsula: We strongly advise you not to travel to the border area between Cameroon and Nigeria in the region of the Bakassi Peninsula. Sovereignty of the area had been disputed for many years and was handed from Nigeria to Cameroon on 14 August 2008. Tension in the area remains high and resettlement of the residents of the region is being negotiated. Tensions also remain high between the police and security personnel of both countries and you risk being caught up in localised fighting that may erupt without warning.

Netherlands Travel
by admin on Jul.12, 2010, under Attraction, Information
The Dutch United Provinces declared their independence from Spain in 1579; during the 17th century, they became a leading seafaring and commercial power, with settlements and colonies around the world. After a 20-year French occupation, a Kingdom of the Netherlands was formed in 1815. In 1830 Belgium seceded and formed a separate kingdom. The Netherlands remained neutral in World War I, but suffered invasion and occupation by Germany in World War II. A modern, industrialized nation, the Netherlands is also a large exporter of agricultural products. The country was a founding member of NATO and the EEC (now the EU), and participated in the introduction of the euro in 1999.

Natural New Zealand
by admin on Jun.28, 2010, under Attraction
New Zealand's landscape is nothing short of remarkable; its natural features so astonishing that it has even stood in for fantasy settings such as Middle Earth, Narnia, and has inspired Avatar.
It's not surprising that in recent years, an increasing number of film directors have chosen New Zealand's outstanding landscape as a backdrop – a diverse range of natural features make it a popular choice with location scouts. The perfect cone of Mt Taranaki became Japan's Mt Fuji in The Last Samurai and the Southern Alps became the Himalayas for Vertical Limit. The Coromandel's beautiful Cathedral Cove made a perfect setting for Cair Paravel in Prince Caspian, and dare we say that the Kiwi landscape might have done its bit to make Avatar the biggest movie of all time. For visitors, this diversity means you can stroll along a beach in the morning, stop at a winery for lunch and then be hiking along an alpine trail by the afternoon.

Chemistry, economics and gourmet food! Oh, my!
Cindy Larive, chair of the Department of Chemistry at the UC Riverside, is well known for her work in bioanalytical chemistry, including research on the stress response of plants to flooding and drought, and methods for detecting whether fruit juices have been âwatered downâ with cheaper ingredients. But recently, itâs her work on the buttermilk pancake that has been taking the Web by storm.
Specifically, âButtermilk Pancakes with Mixed Berry Compote and Sweet Vanilla Butter.â
Larive and her daughter, Erin Kaplan, a visiting lecturer in economics at the University of Pittsburgh, are co-creators of The Food Doctors, a blog devoted not merely to creating amazing food, but also to the science and economics that make that amazing food possible.
The blog was conceived last spring as Kaplan and Larive were hiking in Cinque Terre National Park in Italy. Kaplan had recently won a dessert-making competition and had one of her recipes featured on the How Sweet It Is blog. As they explored the park, Erin suggested starting a blog of their own. Naturally, they came up with the blogâs framework during dinner.
âWe wanted to create something more academic than the average food blog â" a place where we could geek out over food and maybe teach people a little bit along the way,â Kaplan said. âTeaching economics comes very naturally to me, and I know my mother feels the same passion about chemistry. It was kind of a perfect storm.â
Creating great food has always been a major part of life for Larive and her daughters, dating back to when she was completing her Ph.D. here at UCR and Kaplan and sister Megan were students at the UCR pre-school. Erin recalls that she religiously watched âJulia Child: Bon Appétit,â convinced that the master chef was a long-lost grandmother.
âAll three of us cooked together. It is among my best memories,â Larive said. âThe blog has been a good way for Erin and I to stay connected. Plus, I have learned some economics.â
âWe try to write posts for a general audience, but when it comes down to it, itâs still chemistry and economics, which arenât most peopleâs favorite subjects,â said Kaplan, who continued to cook as she earned a bachelorâs degree in mathematics and economics from Kansas in 2005 and her Ph.D. in economics from UC Santa Barbara in 2011. âI think that it really goes to show just how strongly we all connect to food. By far the most rewarding thing is when people ask us questions or engage us to learn more. Thatâs when I feel that weâve been really successful.â
The pancake post is a perfect example what Larive and Kaplan are shooting for. It begins with a discussion of the differences between pancakes and crepes, segues gently into a discussion of the importance of carbon dioxide in the process of making the perfect pancake. (For the uninitiated, itâs the baking powder that contains sodium bicarbonate that combines with acid to create a chemical reaction that releases the gas that allows the pancake to rise and become light and fluffy.) Then comes the recipe itself, complete with beautiful photos that almost make up for the internetâs inability to transmit smell and taste.
âI think that many people are eager to understand the scientific aspects of cooking,â Larive said, adding that many cooking shows will discuss complicated concepts such as molecular gastronomy, but not the details of basic cooking. âWe want to feature the science behind everyday cooking.â
Larive and Kaplan said that creating a blog posting takes from one to three hours, depending on the topic and the amount of rumination and research that goes into it. Some recipes are family favorites that have been made hundreds of times, while others are new creations that are tested and retested until they get a satisfactory result.
âSome things I share because I love them and make them all the time and some things I develop from scratch,â Kaplan said. âI can sometimes be a perfectionist.â
Lariveâs recent appointment to chair of the chemistry department has cut into the time she has to blog. âI have always been busy, but now I am even more busy. I am trying to get a few more blogs written before fall quarter starts,â she said.
Over the next few weeks the blog will feature recipes on salmon patties that use wild-caught canned salmon, posts on agricultural subsidies and a Kaplan-penned âode to the industrial food complex, which gets a pretty bad rap from most âfood activists.ââ In the fall, the blog will move into a theme that features soups and other hearty dishes.
While the blog has gotten rave reviews, with some posts even spawning discussions about academic papers, Larive and Kaplan said they have modest expectations.
âWe do not have big ambitions for the blog,â Larive said. âWe intend to continue as long as we find it fun.â

Exploring U.S. Aquaculture
September 20, 2012
This NOAA Fisheries video provides an overview of aquaculture in the United States. Aquaculture—also known as fish or shellfish farming— refers to the breeding, rearing, and harvesting of plants and animals in all types of water environments including ponds, rivers, lakes, and the ocean. Researchers and aquaculture producers are "farming" all kinds of freshwater and marine species of fish, shellfish, and plants. Aquaculture produces food fish, sport fish, bait fish, ornamental fish, crustaceans, mollusks, algae, sea vegetables, and fish eggs. This kind of farming is the world's fastest-growing form of food production and a vital component of our food supply. Aquaculture also supports commercial fisheries, enhances habitat and at-risk species, and maintains economic activity in coastal communities and at working waterfronts. Take a look at the advantages, challenges, and growth of aquaculture in our country.

Sorry for the delay in writing a story about this, but here we finally are: Nokia's MeeGo (or Maemo or whatever it's called this hour) is getting its successor. Yes, MeeGo, the short-lived but beloved platform running on the unicorn phone, the Nokia N9, will continue onwards in a slightly different form. Its new home? Jolla - a company formed by former Nokia chief operating officer Marc Dillon, who was the principal engineer for MeeGo/Maemo at Nokia since 2006.

Maybe because there are just two kind of people who buy WP: Windows & Nokia employees
Possibly Although I went into a Nokia store here in Ireland not so long ago, and once I asked about the N9, the guy in the shop's tone changed, and suddenly a bitterness he had been hiding under the salesman speak came to the surface and he ranted about how Nokia gave up on a good thing (MeeGo) to replace it with "that Microsoft rubbish". And he wasn't going for the geek sale line either, he couldn't actually get an N9 for me as they're not officially on sale here...

Almost every parent of a teenager wonders how on Earth they're going to be able to monitor what sensationalistic media images or ideas children are engrossed in today. On the radio, a pop singer boasts about her chest as a "milkshake" that brings all the boys around to her yard. On the television, kids can see WB's "The Surreal Life," its sleazy reality-show plot often revolving around a porn star, Ron Jeremy. Then there's video games, which have grown increasingly sophisticated - and unfortunately, increasingly raunchy and bloody - since the musty old days of Donkey Kong and Pac-Man.
More than half of 2-to-7-year-olds and 82 percent of 8-to-18-year-olds live in homes with at least one video game console. Video games are a multibillion-dollar industry. Two Harvard researchers, Kimberly Thompson and Kevin Haninger, recently discovered that parents of teenagers can't rely very heavily on the video game ratings system created by the Entertainment Software Rating Board, a self-regulating body.
The ESRB was created a decade ago to rate video games with age-based ratings:"E" for everyone, "C" for early childhood, "T" for teens, "M" for mature, "A" for adults only, and "RP" for rating pending. The ratings are displayed on the game box, as well as the content descriptors, to help consumers make appropriate choices.
The duo chose a random sample of 81 video games rated "T" (for Teen), played each of those titles for about an hour each and analyzed all the content they observed. They found that in almost half the games - 48 percent - there was violence, sexual themes, profanity, substance use, or gambling, and none of it was noted on the game box. In 15 percent of the games, they also found depictions of alcohol or tobacco use; only one percent of the games carried a description of that content.
The failure of a ratings system should not come as a major surprise to parents. The ratings system for television shows have been a regular disappointment. Producers rate their own programs, which is not unlike the foxes guarding the henhouse. The Parents Television Council found in the late 1990s that 65 percent of programs containing obscenities did not carry an "L" warning for coarse language, and 76 percent of shows with sexual innuendo did not carry a "D" for sexually-themed dialogue.
The Harvard team acknowledged that only playing the first hour of these video games in all likelihood did not reveal all of the manifestations in which the game labelers missed the boat. But parents rely on the game labeling system, largely because most parents won't stay and watch a video game unfold for an hour, let along the other multiple levels of adventures that may take their children weeks to decipher. They're more likely to check out the acceptability of a half-hour sitcom than find out what happens on the Planet Gorgon in Level Five, especially when they couldn't figure out how to move beyond Level One.
It's sad that researchers would have to conclude that they believe the ESRB should actually have to "play the video games as part of its rating process to help ensure the absence of content other than that indicated by the materials submitted to the ESRB by the game manufacturers." What we have in the video game is not self-regulation. It is the slipshod appearance of self-regulation, in which the ESRB just grades based on what it's told by the game makers.
A graver problem for parents is that the games that many youngsters desire and chatter about are not rated "T," but rated "M," for supposedly "mature" audiences. This is the TV-land of ultraviolence, casual sex, and casual profanity best known through the best seller "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City."
Rockstar Games, the sleaze merchants behind the "Vice City" cop-killing, woman-abusing fantasy, has a newer game out called "Manhunt." The goal of "Manhunt" is delivering the nastiest killings for filming - the goriness of the killing is rated on a five-star scale. USA Today's reviewer explained: "I got plenty of one and two-star ratings by sneaking up behind thugs and stabbing them in the neck. Higher ratings are awarded depending on how much additional carnage you can add to the execution." The game's director praises the player: "The bodies are starting to stack up nicely...We're getting some great footage here!"
We're trying to keep children away from R-rated violent movies that last 90 minutes, but in too many basements and kids' bedrooms in America, children are role-playing murderers for hours on end, ad infinitum.

London and Oberursel, 28th September 2006 - The company has once again continued its positive business development in the last financial year and achieved marked increases in both its revenue and result. Due to the excellent profitability and the positive cashflow of € 6.9 million achieved in fiscal year 2005/2006 (previous year € 5.9 million), the Management Board and Supervisory Board will be proposing payment of a dividend of 15 Eurocents per share for the fiscal year 2005/2006 at the General Meeting for fiscal year 2005/2006, as announced in the ad hoc report of 21st September 2006.
The Personal Device Security division, which specialises in software products that protect data on mobile personal devices and in networks, increased its revenue by 22.2%, to € 32.6 million (previous year € 26.7 million). Here, its SafeGuard product range (licenses and maintenance) showed growth of 25.8%, to € 30.3 million (previous year € 24.1 million). The results for this division rose by 60%, to € 11.7 million (previous year € 7.3 million), due to the positive development of the highly profitable license sales and boosted by a considerable increase in the capitalization of software developed in-house in accordance with IAS 38, with an amount of € 3.9 million (previous year € 0.9 million). The project business, offering solutions for transaction security, grew by 10.9% to € 9.8 million (previous year € 8.8 million). This included internal revenues of € 0.8 million (previous year € 0.7 million). The contribution for this division equalled € 2.6 million (previous year € 3.0 million).
Total group revenues equalled € 41.7 million (previous year € 34.8 million), corresponding to a growth in revenues of 19.8%. The Americas region (USA, Canada, and South America) witnessed especially pleasing developments in which revenues of € 6.7 million were achieved compared to the previous year € 3.0 million, with growth more than doubling. The consolidated operating result (EBIT) increased by 50% to € 8.9 million (previous year € 5.9 million). The EBIT margin improved to 21.3% compared to 17.0% in the previous year. The profit per share (EPS) equalled € 0.55 (previous year € 0.42).
After twelve months an operating cashflow of € 11.4 million (previous year € 6.4 million) was achieved. In the reporting period, liquid assets rose by € 6.9 million to € 29.2 million (previous year 22.4 million). As a result Utimaco has considerable financial resources available that form a solid basis for continued successful growth in the future.
The company expects growth to continue in the current fiscal year, 2006/2007, while development and marketing costs will be increased, to extend its market position. When SafeGuard® Enterprise is launched in the market in the first quarter of 2007, this will bring to an end the positive effect on earnings caused by the capitalization of proprietary software. Nevertheless, the company expects to achieve stable profitability for the fiscal year 2006/2007.

The stems are woody at the base, diffuse, much branched. The leaves are oblong, linear and acute, or the lower ones spatulate or wedge-shaped and obtuse. The flowers, in bloom in June, are very pale-purple, the cymes shortly pedunculate, approximating to a spike or raceme.
---Cultivation---It is propagated either from seeds, sown at a similar period and in the same manner as Summer Savory, or from cuttings and divisions of root. It is woodier and more bushy than Summer Savory.
Cuttings formed of young side shoots, with a heel attached, may be taken in April or June, and will readily root under a hand-glass, or in a shady border outside.
Divisions of the roots should be made in March or April, and plants obtained in this way, or from cuttings, should be permanently inserted during a showery period in the latter part of summer, in rows, at the distance of 1 foot apart.
The plant grows better in a poor, stony soil than a rich one. In a rich soil, plants take in too much moisture to stand the severity of our winter. In soil that suits it, Winter Savory makes a good-sized shrub. It will continue for several years, but when the plants are old the shoots are short and not so well furnished with leaves. It is, therefore, well to raise a supply of young plants every other year.
Parkinson tells us that Winter Savory used to be dried and powdered and mixed with grated bread-crumbs, 'to breade their meate, be it fish or flesh, to give it a quicker relish.' It is recommended by old writers, together with other herbs, in the dressing of trout.
When dried, it is used as seasoning in the same manner as Summer Savory, but is not employed medicinally.
Culpepper says that it is a good remedy for the colic.
---Other Species--- Satureia thymbra, which is used in Spain as a spice and is closely allied to the Savories grown in English kitchen gardens, yields an oil containing about 19 per cent of thymal. Other species of Satureia contain carvacrol. The oil from wild plants of Winter Savory contains 30 or 40 per cent of carvacrol, and that from cultivated plants still more.

Nasdaq CEO says maker-taker model has value, but fees too high
Updated 7:42 pm, Monday, July 28, 2014
WASHINGTON -- Nasdaq OMX's chief urged U.S. regulators on Monday to re-examine the pricing model that stock exchanges use to attract trading, joining the debate about a fee-based incentive for traders that has come under scrutiny in recent months.
Robert Greifeld called for a re-evaluation of the "maker-taker" model, in which exchanges pay rebates to traders who bring liquidity to the market and charge fees to those who take it away.
The rebates apply to so-called "access fees," which exchanges charge brokers and are capped by federal regulations at 30 cents per hundred shares.
"The maker fee is an incentive ... for people to provide liquidity into the market," Greifeld told reporters on the sidelines of a day-long roundtable held by U.S. New Jersey Republican Representative Scott Garrett to explore potential equity market reforms. "To be rewarded for that in some way I think is fair and legitimate."
But the line should be drawn, he noted, when the incentive is so large that "you are just trading for the incentive." He added that the 30 cent fee "was not designed by God" and is 10 years old.
The maker-taker model is one of several issues that have come under renewed scrutiny in recent months, after bestselling author Michael Lewis questioned the practice of paying brokers as an incentive to entice liquidity in his book, "Flash Boys."
In addition to the maker-taker model used by most of the large exchanges, major market-maker brokerages such as KCG Holdings and Citadel also pay retail brokerages to send order flow to their platforms. Critics say the practice of paying for order flow poses conflicts of interest, because brokers may be enticed to send orders to where they get paid the highest, instead of acting in their clients' best interest.
IEX, the upstart trading venue featured in Lewis' book, is one such critic, and does not pay for order flow.
Greifeld's comments Monday differ from the views of his exchange's biggest two biggest rivals -- the Intercontinental Exchange's New York Stock Exchange and BATS Global Markets.
ICE CEO Jeffrey Sprecher has advocated lowering access fees. But he wants to take things a step further and ban maker-taker pricing altogether.
BATS CEO Joseph Ratterman, however, disagrees with both, and said that access fees should be tailored to each company.
"I would say 30 cents is as good a level as any. We should maybe consider ... looking across all the stocks for a one-size doesn't fit all solution," Ratterman said Monday.
Securities and Exchange Commission Chairwoman Mary Jo White this year announced she plans to unveil a series of proposals designed to strengthen the markets and improve transparency. Although her staff is exploring a raft of new market reforms, she has not explicitly called for changes to access fees or the maker-taker model.
The idea of lowering access fees appears to be gaining momentum on Wall Street by all kinds of firms whose interests are not always aligned. The Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association, for instance, recently called for lowering the fee from 30 cents to 5 cents.

Daily Journal
TUPELO – A gifted education teacher who finds each of her students amazing was chosen as the Tupelo Public School District's Teacher of the Year.
Pam McAlilly, who teaches fifth-grade Challenge classes at Carver Elementary School, said she was humbled to receive an award that so many teachers deserve.
"Teaching is a journey," said the 20-year veteran teacher. "It takes a journey to make a teacher."
The 20-year veteran of education said becoming a National Board Certified Teacher has been her greatest professional accomplishment, and she now mentors other teachers pursuing the certification.
"She is truly an inspiration to her students, teachers and parents," said Board of Trustees president Shawn Brevard as she announced McAlilly's selection.
Brevard saluted all 14 school Teachers of the Year. The teachers of the year are nominated by the colleagues at each of their schools.
"I know this is the greatest honor for them because they received it from their peers," Brevard said.
The district teacher of the year is chosen by an outside committee who reviews their applications for the Mississippi Teacher of the Year.
McAlilly said her core beliefs as a teacher are that each student is amazing and that she strives to create a classroom culture where each student is valued.
"I touch the future, I teach," she wrote to describe her teaching philosophy.
In supporting McAlilly's selection as teacher of the year, one former parent wrote about the experiences his son had in McAlilly's classroom.
"He told me that she taught him how to think beyond the boundaries of a typical sixth-grader," the parent wrote.
This will be McAlilly's last year at Carver Elementary, where she has taught since 2001. In next year's reorganization, Carver will house kindergarten through second grade. She will find out her next school later this year.
"It's a great experience to teach at Carver," McAlilly said. "The history is so rich."

Master of Science in Nursing (MSN)
The Master of Science in Nursing program has several advanced practice specializations and other advanced role specialties. The purposes of the program are to provide preparation for advanced nursing practice as a clinical nurse specialist, nurse practitioner, or nurse anesthetist; preparation for the role of nurse educator, or administrator of nursing service and to provide a foundation for doctoral study. Post Master's certificate programs are available to prepare currently certified clinical nurse specialists and nurse practitioners who want to acquire specialization in any of the above areas of specialization. Areas of advanced role specialization include nursing services administration and a certificate program in nursing education.
Nursing education at the Masters level builds upon baccalaureate nursing preparation. Program courses and content are organized and courses sequenced in a manner that facilitates the progression of student learning from that of a baccalaureate generalist to that of a specialist. The curriculum has two dimensions: core and specialization. Core courses are taken by all students and include theory, research, health policy, information management, and advanced pathophysiology or Advanced Physiological Concepts in Health Care I and II for Nurse Anesthesia students. Specialization courses are specific to advanced practice within a selected role.
Prerequisite courses are undergraduate health assessment and statistics and a graduate level course in inferential statistics.
Graduate Curriculum Model
The Master of Science in Nursing Program is designed to accommodate working RNs. Courses are offered Monday through Thursday evenings.

Advanced Role Option
Admission Requirements
As part of and prior to admission to the program, an interview with the coordinator of the graduate program and/or the lead faculty in the intended specialty track should be completed.
Full Admission. Students admitted to the MSN Program in the School of Nursing are granted full admission with an undergraduate grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 or higher on a 4.0 scale. No admission test is required for students who are granted full admission (EXCEPTION: applicants for the Nurse Anesthesia track are required to hold CCRN.
Provisional Admission. Applicants with a GPA below 3.0 on a 4.0 point scale may be admitted to the MSN Program in the School of Nursing under provisional status when the GPA is between 2.75 and 2.99 on a 4.0 scale. To move from provisional admission status to full admission requires that the student receive a B or higher in 15 semester credit hours of graduate level course work. After successful completion of these courses, the student must request a change of admission status and the record will be changed to full admission status.
Denial of Admission. Applicants applying for admission to the Graduate Program in the School of Nursing with a GPA of 2.74 or below and results of admission application process may be denied admission.
RN to MSN Sequence. Applicants to the RN to MSN sequence must meet the same criteria as those applying directly to the track.
Note: Individual tracks may have additional admission criteria.
Addressing the Needs of the State and the Region
The Masters Program in Nursing meets the needs of the State in several ways. The graduates of the master's program have specialized in an advanced role to become expert clinicians, administrators, or educators. The majority of graduates remain in the state to pursue their post-degree careers. These professionals advance the practice of nursing and health care to improve clinical and economic outcomes for patients/clients, nursing personnel and organization/network systems both independently and in collaboration with other health care professionals. Nurse anesthetists are the only providers of anesthesia in 70% of all rural hospitals in the US. Care provided by nurse practitioners and clinical nurse specialists has been associated with high patient satisfaction, cost effectiveness, and similar patient outcomes to care provided by physicians. With a recent Ohio State Medical Association survey indicating 34 percent of Ohio physicians expect to close their practices within the next two years due to rising medical liability insurance, the advanced practice nurses of Ohio are needed now more than ever to enable its population to have access to primary health care and increased years of quality life and to reduce health disparities for diverse and underserved populations of Ohio citizens.
Placement Objectives for Graduates
Graduates of the Master's Program in Nursing are expected to fulfill positions in nursing and in other fields as advanced health care providers, educators, executives, and consultants. Advance nursing practice positions are found in a variety of primary, secondary, and tertiary care environments. The market for graduates with advanced practice roles is exceedingly strong. Many of these master's prepared nurses will go on to doctoral study and assume a role of nurse researcher in communities, hospitals, and faculty in higher education.

God Loves Uganda

Something frightening is happening in Uganda and it is coming from the outside. For American evangelicals, Uganda represents Ground Zero -- the opportunity to fashion an entire country in their own image. For a generation, they have been building schools and hospitals -- and instilling a religious bigotry that is chilling in its intensity. Academy Award winning director Roger Ross Williams' wide-ranging, absorbing and often shocking film takes us deep inside the missionary movement, allowing bright eyed Christians to explain their vision for Uganda. Their focus is unabashed: instilling their values in the 50% of the population who are under 15 years old. Williams interweaves the missionary interviews with a wealth of footage showing how the evangelicals' practices are tearing the country apart. From the dismantling of a successful AIDS policy to the fostering of a bill that makes homosexuality punishable by death, this is a country in crisis. CN

"I Reckon You're One Of Them New York Doves"
What happened when an anti—Vietnam War activist met his new client—Lyndon Johnson
November/December 2006 | Volume 57, Issue 6
And yet—although I could never forget LBJ's war—I had also caught firsthand glimpses of his older allegiances. On another evening at the ranch the previous September, LBJ had invited me into his bedroom to watch the evening news. When I arrived, he was stretched out on his endless bed, and I perched on a chair next to him. He kept three television sets in his bedroom in order to watch the three nightly network newscasts simultaneously. That night's news turned out to be notable, because Spiro Agnew, delivering a speech in San Diego, had seized the day to launch an all-out attack on the press. The networks repeatedly broadcast the section of the Agnew speech (written by William Safire) containing the famous line chastising journalists as "nattering nabobs of negativism." Johnson was silent as he watched the broadcasts, and I feared that he would join Agnew's tirade. But when I asked for his thoughts about what we had just heard and seen, he replied, in a curt, dismissive voice, "Oh, him and his gang are a bunch of fascist pigs."
I was struck by this glimpse of Johnson's populist New Deal origins and sympathies, something that never came through in his appearances as a war President. Like people who knew him far better than I did, I could never quite reconcile the two LBJs.
Johnson and I had one other encounter revealing his origins, and it was the only time I ever heard the former President fly into one of his legendary rages. Unfortunately, his rage was directed at me. Some months before we published The Vantage Point , the Holt accountants told me that the retail price, which we had originally set at $10, would, because of the book's length, have to be increased to $15.
When I called with the news, he shouted that he wanted the book to be read by ordinary people, "like the man who fills my gas tank." That person, he said, could not afford to spend $15 on The Vantage Point . I reminded him that there would also be a later paperback edition, but that didn't assuage him. Then, suddenly, he quieted and, echoing his mentor, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, said, "You're nothin' but an economic royalist."
But in most of our exchanges his tone seemed paternal. One day in my office I received a message from Texas informing me that Johnson would be in New York and would like to see me. At the appointed hour I walked the few blocks from my office to the Pierre Hotel. LBJ himself opened the door to his high-rise suite; there was another man in the room, just about to depart. LBJ introduced him as the chief executive of one of the largest airlines in the world, and then came the possessive hyperbole about me. "This young man," he said, "makes Clarence Darrow look like some bitty country lawyer."
But the war was always a subtext in our professional relationship. On my final visit to the ranch, long after The Vantage Point had been published in 1971, the Johnsons and I were having an early dinner, and our conversation turned to the Nixon administration's much-touted policy of "Vietnamization"—turning the war over to the Vietnamese. I asked LBJ what he thought of this. He replied it was useless, that the South Vietnamese military was incompetent and that if Nixon persisted in this, we would "lose Vietnam." And then the Communists would go through the Philippines "like a knife through butter." And after that, he continued, Hawaii would be next. "My grandson will fight in Asia," he concluded morosely. I didn't know what to say. Could he really believe all that?
Only then, after a long silence, did the wife of the man who had been President and Commander in Chief speak up. "But, Lyndon," she said softly, "don't you think that they, the Vietnamese, if they take over, will have so much on their plates that like the Russians and their détente, they'll turn inward?"
The deferential phrasing of Lady Bird's comment somehow intensified rather than diminished the provocative nature of the content; she was, after all, challenging the domino theory that had driven her husband's every decision about the war. Fearful of being in the middle of a domestic explosion, I excused myself and left the room.
Much later, after LBJ had died and I was still trying to sort out the contradictions I had observed firsthand during my years as his publisher, I came to regret having missed whatever might have followed Lady Bird's demurral from her husband's views. For it is possible that this had not been the first time the Johnsons, in the privacy of their home, had disagreed about the war that was dividing families and communities throughout America.
But I had glimpsed Johnson's better side—imagine a retired politician today worrying about charging people too much for his memoirs!—and more important, I could never discount LBJ's record as the most effective liberal President since FDR.
As his publisher I had gained some insight into qualities I had never imagined he would possess. But his presidential memoir, destined from the beginning to be written by too many hands, was inevitably censored by its subject.

The beta for Insurgency, the Half-Life 2 mod which seeks to realistically replicate the current battling in the Iraq (but with respawns, anyway), was released today after four years in development. Downloads are available hyah.
I've only spent a couple of hours with the game, but it's not exactly, well, good. It's got potential, of course, and it is just a beta, but let's just say that I'm already eager for some major patching.
The mod is free, and requires nothing more than Half-Life 2 and Steam -- and if you don't have those, then you really, really need to consider your current lifestyle choices. When I become president, not owning Half-Life 2 will be a criminal offense punishable by physical violence.
Hit the jump for my initial impressions of the game, or -- better yet -- download it and draw your own conclusions.
UPDATE: SeraphX is better at the internets than I am
Still, for all its massive flaws, it does have a lot going for it: the weapons handle with a satisfying realism (there are no crosshairs -- any precision aiming must be done using ironsights), the maps are pleasantly huge and nonlinear, and the graphics are superb, in an "everything is brown, deal with it" sort of way. Given that this is only a beta, it'll be very, very interesting to see where the mod goes from here: if some of the larger problems were fixed, this could be one of the best multiplayer mods for HL2 out there today. No matter what, though, Insurgency is definitely worth a download: for all its current flaws, it's easy to tell that a lot of work and care went into it. Plus, it's free (so long as you own Half-Life 2, anyway); it certainly wouldn't kill you to give it a shot.

Rajya Sabha disrupted for fourth day
The House plunged into chaos soon after it assembled for the day with senior BJP leader M Venkaiah Naidu raising the issue of FDI.
Chairman Hamid Ansari's repeated plea to allow the House to function normally went unheeded and some DMK members were seen in the aisle with newspaper clippings related to the 2G issue.
Amid the din, he adjourned the House till noon barely a few minutes after it met.
When the House re-assembled, slogan shouting SP members trooped into the Well opposing any reservation for SCs/STs in government job promotions as demanded by BSP.
As they kept chanting "promotion mein arakshan, nahi chalega, nahi chalega" (no reservation in promotion), some members from the treasury bench, led by Praveen Rashtrapal (Cong), came to the aisle countering them.
Members of UPA ally DMK also rushed to the aisle with newspaper clippings on the issue of recent disclosures by a former CAG official in 2G case. Their party colleague, former Telecom Minister A Raja, had to resign on the 2G issue.
BJP members were also on their feet apparently demanding discussion and voting on FDI in retail. But, they were not audible.
P J Kurien, who was in the Chair, asked members to lay papers and as unruly scenes continued, he adjourned the House for the day.

NASHVILLE (AP) – Nissan is adding 900 jobs to start making the Rogue crossover SUV at its Tennessee plant, the Japanese automaker announced Thursday.
The new jobs are in addition to 800 positions added at the Smyrna plant last year, and will bring total employment at the suburban Nashville facility to more than 7,000. Hiring is already underway, and Rogue production is scheduled to begin this fall.
WASHINGTON (AP) – The economy is recovering, the White House is dealing with multiple controversies, and President Barack Obama appears generally unaffected either way.
He's getting no significant uptick in approval from gains in housing, jobs and the stock market. Likewise, he has so far seen no downtick from the recent storms over the terror attack in Benghazi, Libya, the targeting of conservative groups by the IRS and a leak investigation that has swept up the phone records of Associated Press journalists.
Japanese automaker Nissan Motor Co. announced Friday it will add a third shift at a vehicle assembly plant in Tennessee, adding more than 800 jobs.
WASHINGTON (AP) – The White House is lauding a rosier election-year economic forecast, predicting the economy could add two million jobs this year. But the upbeat projection is based partly on the shaky premise that Congress will sign off on President Barack Obama's jobs agenda.
Ursula Y. Houston has joined Memphis Chemical & Janitorial Supply Co. as account executive.

The Scotsman is reporting that a new Doctor Who Stage Show will tour the UK later this year.
The BBC Worldwide show, titled Doctor Who: Here Come The Monsters will be in a similar format to the the successful Walking with Dinosaurs Arena tour last year.
The show will take place in a large staged area on the Arena floor and will feature special effects, and video scenes shot with Matt Smith. It will include stage battles between the Daleks and the Cybermen and be accompanied a live orchestra playing music by composer Murray Gold who said "The live element always adds something extra, but these will also be brand new arrangements for a new band of very talented musicians. It's very exciting."
Nine venues are to be included on the tour including the Exhibition and Conference Centre in Glasgow. The show has been developed in association with executive producer Steven Moffat, who said: "This is everything I ever wanted since I was 11. A live show, with all the coolest Doctor Who monsters, a proper story, and brand new screen material.
More details should be available shortly and tickets are expected to go on sale in the next month.
