Recently, a number of state and local governments have begun taking a close look at their existing Minority and Women-owned contracting programs. A number of intergovernmental groups, such as the National Black Caucus of State Legislators, have advocated for additional assistance to minority-owned firms. The State of Maryland and the City of New York are two particular examples of this increased focus.
On May 10, 2011, Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley (D) signed Senate Bill 120 into law which aims to change the way the state contracts with minority-owned businesses.
SB 120, introduced by State Senator Joan Carter Conway (D-Baltimore City), reauthorizes the state's Minority Business Enterprise Program for an additional year through July 1, 2012. It also repeals a requirement that procurement procedures seek to award 7% and 10% of a unit's total dollar value of contracts to African-American-owned and women-owned businesses respectively. In its place, SB 120 sets a universal goal of 25% for all certified minority-owned businesses.
SB 120 also seeks to curb the use of minority firms as pass-throughs by requiring that the Board of Public Works issue regulations to clarify that minority firms must serve a commercially useful function in bids submitted.
In February of this year, Mayor Michael Bloomberg of the City of New York launched the Corporate Alliance Program, a new initiative that will connect certified Minority and Women-owned Business Enterprises to contracting and capacity-building opportunities in the private sector.
According to a press release issued by the Department of Small Business Services (SBS), the Department will work with its partners from 11 major corporations establish four initiatives to connect City-certified firms to opportunities in the private sector. These initiatives include corporate skills training, recruitment services to match qualified MBEs with specific opportunities, mentoring services, and a construction training program to do business with university and corporate facilities.
The 11 founding corporate partners include: Accenture, American Express, BNY Mellon, Colgate-Palmolive, Citigroup, Columbia University, Con Edison, Credit Suisse, Goldman Sachs, IBM and National Grid.
MBDA works closely with numerous states and intergovernmental organizations to forward the growth of the minority business community. MBDA works with these stakeholders in holding Business-2-Business linkage forums, procurement events, and roundtable discussions.

Turning on the TV Sunday morning to check the news, we're greeted by a weatherman holding a pot of boiling water. He steps outside in the frigid Vermont air, tosses the water into the sky, and watches it vanish. Damn, we think. We're gonna need mittens.
Neither a -20 degree overnight low or a pair of broken ribs could slow down Sunday's Slopestyle Finals, with both men and women attacking the shared course just the same. On the women's side, New Zealand's Rebecca Torr made her way to the Dew Tour podium for the first time, mixing back lips and Kiwi airs from the start. But this was once again all about the Spencer O'Brien & Jamie Anderson Show, going head-to-head 'til the very end in a battle for first and second. Spencer would drop first, but fell during her first run through the jump section. Jamie would take to the course next, and set the bar for all to hit. Signature moves, stylish touches, and stomped landings would place her well into first place, with second runs still to come. With just Spencer left to track down the top spot, she would drop in once again. Switch back fives and slow, grabbed spins would be close, but Jamie's opening run would hold strong, repeating her win from the Breckenridge Dew Tour stop. In short, Spencer and Jamie are riding in a different league right now. Look for them to progress and push each other back-and-forth all season.
Thankfully, the event organizers are learning. Finally putting a Slopestyle Final after the skiers (and therefore, later in the day), all of last-night's late affairs and rough decisions were given a little extra time to heal up before the men took to the frigid Vermont skies. The 9 qualifiers from Friday's Prelims were met by pre-qualified Chas Guldemond, Mark McMorris, and Torstein Horgmo. Torstein, fresh off a win at the Breck stop, was considered the favorite coming in--until news about him taco-ing the hell out of a rail and breaking his ribs while filming a few weeks ago came about. Uncertainty over whether or not he could ride--let alone make a run at the podium--opened up the competition to a gang of young bloods, including Sebastien Toutant, Tyler Flanagan, Sage Kotsenburg, Eric Willett, Tim Humphreys, Brandon Reis, and of course, Chas and Mark.
In the interest of time, we're just not gonna hide it--Torstein won. Willett and McMorris rounded out the podium, with little Mark throwing some of the tightest double hucks of the year (check the nose grab--damn). But then you realize: Tor's run was switch. Cab 270, switch blunt 270, switch tail 270 out, cab double 10, switch back 12, and finally, "double cork madness", as Torstein would say. In the end, it would be another in the books for one very broke-off, but happy Norwegian.
The Winter Dew concludes with the Toyota Champions at Snowbasin, Utah, from February 10-13. Will Torstein, Jamie, and/or Louie complete the sweep?

I was just watching the Lakers-Mavs game (an amazing and intense game by the way that went down to the wire), and even with Dirk being my favourite player, it just hit me again - this guy has the most unstoppable fadeaway jumper in the league. Agree?
It didn't matter if it was Fisher, Kobe, Odom, or Gasol guarding him, Nowitzki's got such a great trajectory and arc on his shot, and always gets it off clean since he's 7 feet, making it impossible to block and of course he's got one of the best pure shots in the game. Just a thing of beauty to watch. He's got that trademark post-up, spin and fadeaway DOWN.

Collins staying level-headed about new order
By Spencer Fordin / MLB.com
NEW YORK -- Terry Collins is nothing if not persistent.
New York's manager stuck to his guns Saturday, when he used the same batting order that netted three hits in a shutout loss to the Phillies on Friday. Collins credited opposing starter Kyle Kendrick for shutting his team down, but he said he can't allow that to interfere with his game plan.
Mike Baxter was batting leadoff again on Saturday, and Daniel Murphy and David Wright were batting back to back in the heart of the lineup. Collins said things will change in Sunday's series finale against left-hander Cole Hamels, but he wanted to give Wright another shot in the cleanup slot.
"We thought this out pretty good to try to get some guys on ahead of David," said Collins. "Giving it one night and then saying, 'Blow it up,' I don't like the way that looks. We'll try it again."
Wright went 1-for-4 on Friday night, and the Mets had just one runner reach scoring position against Kendrick. But there's reason to believe the new alignment can work. Wright has played in 192 games as a cleanup hitter, and he's batted .308 with 31 home runs and 123 RBIs in 730 at-bats.
The Mets grouped Lucas Duda, John Buck and former cleanup man Ike Davis in sequence after Wright, giving the team plenty of power to spare in the bottom part of the order. Now, said Collins, the key is to be patient and wait for Philadelphia's pitchers to make a mistake or two.
"You always hope somebody runs away with the job. On a daily basis, you put the lineup up there and say, 'I want one of those guys to step up and start mashing,'" said Collins. "That team over there, I know it's been a couple years, but they won five years in a row. They're pretty good. And [Kendrick] pitched a good game. It wasn't that we put the wrong guys in the lineup. He pitched a great game, and I'm not going to show panic by saying, 'Now we've got to change the lineup again.'"
Mets opt to keep Edgin close at Binghamton
NEW YORK -- The Mets used proximity to protect both their staff and an individual reliever on Saturday, when they optioned Josh Edgin down to Double-A Binghamton. The Mets moved Edgin to make room for starter Shaun Marcum, but they also did it to try to restore his confidence.
The left-hander has posted a 9.64 ERA in his first 11 games this season, and the Mets sent him to Double-A both to keep him close and to avoid the hitter-heavy lineups in the Pacific Coast League. Edgin, 26 years old, was told to keep his head up and work his way back to the Majors.
"If something happens, I want to be able to get him here fast," said manager Terry Collins. "I just said, 'Go to Binghamton. You're close. Go work and get your confidence back.' Again, that's what it's all about. When you're on that mound, you need to know you're going to make the pitch."
Edgin, selected in the 30th round of the 2010 First-Year Player Draft, has already beaten the odds just by making it to the Majors, and Collins thinks he can have a long career ahead of him. Edgin was given a trial by fire last year after southpaw Tim Byrdak suffered a season-ending injury.
And while that experience helped Edgin, it also served to pigeonhole him. Collins said that it's a tough adjustment for a young pitcher to become a situational southpaw, because he has to get up in the bullpen so often. Sooner or later, said Collins, that can begin to take a toll on your arm.
"I can only go on my experience of seeing a young pitcher who gets up and down that many times," he said. "It's just that their arm doesn't respond. They're not making the pitches. There's just not the crispness on the fastball, and I don't necessarily mean velocity. His velocity's been OK. ... We know it's still there, it's just that all of a sudden, that free-and-easy action and that confidence to make a pitch [is missing]. I just think there's some wear and tear on the arm after all that up and down."
That wear and tear is natural, said Collins, and it can disappear in time if Edgin is treated carefully at his next destination. Edgin made just six appearances at Binghamton last year before being promoted to Triple-A and then to the Majors, a fast track after dominance at the lower levels.
Now he's going in the opposite direction, but Collins said there's no reason to believe it will be permanent. The Mets still believe in Edgin, and they want him to share that belief.
"For the first time in his career, he's struggling," said Collins. "It's not that something's wrong with his arm. When you start struggling for the first time in your career, it gets in your head. The worst place you can send a pitcher who's struggling mentally is to [Triple-A] Las Vegas. Or Colorado Springs. Or Albuquerque, one of those places where you make a good pitch and the guy hits a two-run double."
Worth noting
• Umpire Brian O'Nora, who left Friday night's game with flu-like symptoms, was replaced by David Rackley for Saturday's game. Rackley lined up as the second-base umpire.

An event that had some residents worried about potential problems was booted from the Alameda County Fairgrounds after an investigation by Pleasanton police.
Countdown 2012, which some locals said was a rave, will now be held at in Tulare County instead of the fairgrounds here.
"The promoter applied to have an event at the fairgrounds and typically, as we always do, we worked with the fairgrounds to provide security at the event. In working up background and intelligence, preparing for the event, what we learned was inconsistent with what the promoter told the fairground," said Pleasanton police Chief Dave Spiller. "I strongly encouraged the fairgrounds not to hold the event."
Spiller said the promoter's initial application called Countdown 2012 a family-friendly event.
"They said it was going to be a holiday family-oriented music festival. There's no indication there was any family involvement at all. The marketing is consistent with raves," he said. "I didn't think it was in the best interest of the community."
Spiller added that it's not the Police Department's job "to be the morals police," but "to ensure the safety of the community for both the participants and the non participating community."
The event, billed as Northern California's largest New Years' Eve "massive music festival" will now be held at the Tulare County Fairgrounds in the Central Valley, about three hours away.
A statement on the event promoter's website makes no mention of being ousted by police, but said the organizers were unable to secure enough law enforcement to staff the event.
"Countdown 2012 has been forced to move locations due to local law enforcement's inability to staff the event and as a result, the Alameda County Fairgrounds management has decided to pull out. We have exhausted all options to make this event possible at the Alameda County Fairgrounds, including contacting other law enforcement agencies. However none of the local agencies can commit due to time restraints," the statement reads.
"We have secured and confirmed the closest available location. Countdown 2012 will now take place at the Tulare County Fairgrounds. We understand that this creates a commute for many attendees so we have secured multiple tour buses to shuttle to and from the event for free, for those ticket holders that don't want to drive."

"In the example of a McDonald's hamburger, the patty loses water in the form of steam during the cooking process. The bun, of course, is made out of bread. Toasting it reduces the amount of moisture. This means that after preparation, the hamburger is fairly dry. When left out open in the room, there is further water loss as the humidity within most buildings is around 40 percent. So in the absence of moisture or high humidity, the hamburger simply dries out, rather than rot."

Guardian Mortgage Investors
List of Deals
- 1971 public offering of 30,000 units consisting of $30,000,000 principal amount of 6 3/4% subordinated debentures due July 15, 1986, and warrants (series 1976) to purchase 900,000 shares of beneficial interest
Guardian Mortgage Investors was a real estate investment trust specializing in construction of real property and on first mortgage loans. It was organized as a trust in Massachusetts in 1969. Its principal offices, however, were in Jacksonville, Florida. Guardian Mortgage Investors was sponsored by Mortgage Growth Investors, a mortgage banking firm. Charter Advisory Company (CAC) administered the day-to-day operations of the trust. CAC was a wholly owned subsidiary of a public Florida mortgage bank, the Charter Company.
Guardian had income of $2.59 million in 1970 with net earnings of $1.1 million; income rose to $9.25 million and net earnings to $4.33 million in 1971. By 1971 Guardian had invested $196 million in land acquisition, development, and construction. It had another $8.7 million in short-term mortgage loans and $10.7 million in standby and gap commitments. At that time it issued $30 million in 6.75 percent subordinated debentures as warrants to purchase 900,000 shares of beneficial interest in the company.
Guardian's fortunes suffered from the soaring interest rates of the mid-1970s. Its earnings consistently dropped in 1974, 1975, and 1976. It reported operating losses of $1.5 million per month by 1975. In 1977 Guardian defaulted on some of its long-term bonds and was delisted from the NYSE and the ASE. In 1978 it declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy in Jacksonville, with a bank debt of $200 million. Guardian changed its name and incorporated as the Florida Companies in 1981.

Get your batting helmet Friday
Batting helmet! It's almost like they anticipated we'd be going to Citi Field more for the giveaways and the food…I can't wait to get mine Friday night. I have no idea where I will wear it, but you can imagine the fun I may be having with it here…
Zoë and batting? The first time I swung a bat was in April, '08 in the Citizen Bank Park parking lot. Matty Cerrone was teaching me wiffle ball before he pulled a hammy (and Ollie got the win). The second time was on a date at the Chelsea Piers batting cages. I did 3 rounds of slow-pitch soft ball, 20-40 mph. On my best round I hit 8 out of 10, all headed foul. But still, first time! And now that I'll have a batting helmet, maybe it won't be the last!
Then again, maybe not. My hands hurt.
(What, you don't wear a purse when you play wiffle ball?)

[Photo blog] Tsunami in the Solomon Islands
Click here for updates on the situation and World Vision's response in the Solomon Islands.
Wednesday, February 6, a magnitude-8.0 earthquake followed by several forceful aftershocks generated tsunami waves nearly five feet high that battered Santa Cruz Island in Temotu province of the Solomons.
* * *
Residents of coastal communities fled inland to higher ground.
At least 100 homes were destroyed, according to World Vision staff members in the town of Lata, who did a quick assessment of damage.
As many as five people have been reported killed and more people and fishing boats may have been carried out to sea by the receding waves.
"I can see a number of houses that been swept away by the surge," reported Jeremiah Tabua, emergency response coordinator for World Vision, as he walked through knee-deep water in a Lata community.
The Lata airport and four surrounding villages were flooded.
Provincial authorities, World Vision, and the local Red Cross are working together on a rapid assessment of damages and needs in the hardest-hit areas. The initial response is expected to include provision of clean drinking water, clothing, temporary sanitation facilities, and shelters for families who escaped their homes.
Word Vision has been present in the Solomon Islands, located northeast of Australia in the South Pacific, for more than 30 years, working across five provinces on disaster risk reduction, health, education, and water and sanitation.
The 200 islands in the Solomons are located on the Pacific "Ring of Fire," where 90 percent of the world's earthquakes occur. Temotu, with a population of 30,000, is the easternmost province in the Solomons.
In 2007, a magnitude-8.1 quake in the western Solomon Islands killed more than 50 people and displaced thousands.

Give to our Disaster Response Fund to help meet the most urgent needs of children and families in the region. In the wake of a crisis, it is children who suffer most. World Vision is often one of the first organizations to begin relief work after a disaster, and we remain on the ground for the long haul, rebuilding communities and restoring hope.

Episode One:
Six in the City is back as three socially incompatible couples compete to show each other the ultimate 'Big Night Out'.
The first episode of a brand new series features Naas couple Deborah Reynolds and Sam Stone, Belfast couple Aaron and Justine Watson and Galway couple Mona and Ron Wise vying for the prize of a weekend abroad.
The three nights include a ghost bus tour, trad music, pottery lessons and the obligatory singing to guests in underwear!
It all adds up to a reality TV comedy of manners as the couples terrorise each other with their hilariously mismatched social agendas. As nights out progress, strained politeness turns to incredulity, incredulity to annoyance, annoyance ratchets up into anger and anger to all out war!!

Swansea City midfielder Jonathan De Guzman's post-game comments following 2-1 loss to the Colorado Rapids:
On the game in general:
"In the second half, I think we played a lot faster. We played well as a team. We still have a lot to learn as a group so hopefully we can be ready for the first game. It was difficult especially the first game as a group, first game of the season. It's tough for new players to adapt. We've been training for probably three weeks now. I think we did pretty well in the second half. The first half was a bit more slow, but other than that I think overall it's a good result."
On his goal off the free kick:
"I was talking to [Andrea] Orlandi about who was going to take it. I said if the ball looks good and the wall looks good, then we'll see who takes it."
On playing in Colorado at elevation:
"Of course that's their advantage. It was difficult not just for me, but for the whole team. Again it was the first game, and playing at altitude, we got very tired, very fast. Even taking all the fluids in, you could still feel it."
On the rest of their tour in the U.S.:
"Tomorrow we have practice and then we fly out to Santa Barbara and we play against a college team. We're there for five days and then we fly to San Jose and we play a game there. Then we head back to England."

I can see both sides to this, but I'm only commenting here to ask a question: What would constitute a 'major' or 'minor' character? I know we all have concepts of these in our head [Harry, Ron, Hermione versus Pansy, Parvati, Colin], but what would the rule be for splitting all of the characters into one of these two categories? Like... a character like Bill - he doesn't have too big of a part in canon, but would you call him a 'minor' character? Also, someone like Lily - a HUGE character in the books, but not featured in canon enough to have a really solid foundation off which to base her characterisation.
So... just curious. I think drawing that line may be more of a challenge that it seems.


text: Not anytime soon, but being now hooked to agility has made me think about the possibility of other breeds. I LOVE my Finkies, but they are not really all about that kind of thing usually (Kimma is an exception, unfortunately). So here are some things I would like in a dog: - Drivey, but not ridiculously so - I love my independent dogs, but I would like a dog that also wants to please. So basically take my Finkies and make them more biddable - I don't mind grooming, but I prefer a more wash and wear coat. The need for professional grooming wouldn't be a turn off, but ideally it would be something I could just do and maintain by myself. Shedding doesn't bug me, but due to my allergies, I seem to do better with longer-haired breeds - Between 10-60 lbs - Aloof with strangers - I enjoy having a rare breed, so I wouldn't mind keeping that trend going - Not DA or SSA - Doesn't have to be particularly cuddly or velcro - Noise doesn't bother me (obviously LOL) - Medium-high energy, as this dog would mainly (hopefully) be used for agility Thanks in advance

Texas Refuses to Compensate Man Wrongly Imprisoned for 18 Years
The good news is that Anthony Graves was released from prison back in October after serving eighteen years on death row for a murder that prosecutors now say he had nothing to do with. Charges dropped, man freed, name cleared. Good things! The bad news is that Graves is now rightly seeking some financial compensation for the nearly two decades he spent in the Texas hoosegow, but the state comptroller's office is telling him and his lawyers no, because of a technicality.
After capital murder charges against Anthony Graves were dropped and prosecutors declared him innocent, his attorneys realized that state law required two crucial words to make him eligible for compensation for his 18 years of wrongful imprisonment: "actual innocence."
The October order dropping the charges lacked those words. Graves' attorneys discovered that only Burleson County District Attorney Bill Parham could ask the judge to insert them. The law gave him 15 days to do it.
But Parham, who had vociferously proclaimed Graves' innocence, refused to return phone calls from Graves attorney Jimmy Phillips Jr. "Once they put the two magic words in there, that would have solved the problem," Phillips said.
The 15 days lapsed. Without the words "actual innocence," the Texas comptroller's office last week refused to qualify Graves for $80,000 compensation for each year of wrongful imprisonment.
A conspiracy-minded person might theorize that the district attorney wanted to get this guy out of the clink, but, in order to get permission to do so from on high, had to promise that he'd make sure the state wouldn't have to cough up any money after the fact. That's what a nut would think, anyway.

Over the past 2 weeks we are finding these beetles in our bedroom usually near to a window ( that has a net over it ). They only appear late in the evening. We have never seen them outside, occasionally in the front room, Never in our conservatory. They are about 5 - 7 mm long, and have a hard shell. Generally we see around 6 or 8 in an evening
From what I can see I would say these are likely to be examples of the Lesser Mealworm beetle, Alphitobius diaperinus (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae). They are not really a household pest in the UK but do have a strong association with poultry farming and aviary birds, where the larvae feed on organic waste of various kinds (including the obvious) - any of these near you?
We do live adjacent to open fields, they may be a chicken farm a couple of miles away. We have lived here for many years and this is the first time we have seen then, something to do with the heatwave ?
The Lesser Mealworm is very close to our bug but ours has more contouring on its shoulders
I will try to get a better photo, Some of the pics on the web look very close and others don't. on you pic there are lots of lines front to back which I don't see on ours. I am no expert so I do not know what is important in identifying them. Should get another pic later. Actually saw some around this afternoon, so maybe they are always about, just more noticable late evening ?
Hi - We have very similar beetles in our house at this time of year. I have only seen 2 so far this year and do not know the name of them, but my husband investigated them a few years ago and they are something to do with birds nests- something we have in the chimmney area of our loft. They suddenly appear out of no where. Normally we scoop them up and throw them out, and touch wood, they do not appear to cause any damage. x
Great. A tip for photography: don't try to gert too close to your subject, a shot from further away is more likely to be sharper and have greater depth of field and it can be cropped and/or enlarged as required.
Thanks for these new images - now we can see the striae (ridges in the wing cases). Yep, its the
Lesser Mealworm beetle, Alphitobius diaperinus.
I'd steer clear of that other website
Thanks for your help

I'll try to upload the pics of my home cinema system.
Very nice, looks good. Is it not possible to have your equipment on seperate shelves? I had to do the same with my hi-fi kit, stacked CD player, stereo amp and power amp on top of each other, that was until i built a dedicated hi fi room and could seperate hi-fi from cinema.
Nice Bigboss
Looks like your plasma has a bit of ambilight going on?
Thanks Charl! Actually, there were some glass shelves already made as per the original plan. But I realised that the shelves were interfering with the venting, & the system became hot very quickly. Removing the glass shelves solved the problem.

Thanks gel. Actually, it's a lighting strip stuck to the back of the TV: http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/30119408
Very nice setup ! I love it
Where did you get the pictures from on the walls ?
Someone was selling paintings door to door. I think they're works of some Arts students.
Buttkicker - thoughts do you really think it adds to movies???
The Buttkicker has really made a HUGE difference to my movie watching experience! We actually jump out of the sofa during many scenes in 'I am Legend'! It adds a fourth dimension! I actually prefer watching movies at home rather than at the cinema. It feels a lot more real, as if you're in the movie!
One of the best experiences is the first scene of 'I am Legend' where Will Smith chases deer in his car. The sofa vibrates only when the shot is from inside the car, as if you're actually sitting in the car. Take a demo, you would never have experienced anything like it before. That's what I felt when I first demoed.
Looks amazing smith (you don't beat me by the way, had to get that one in), proper nice movie room. I could watch movies in there for hours...really good job there you should be proud! It is very atmospheric. with just the right level of lighting, am jealous.
You sure will beat me Neo! Thanks for your compliments. I sure am proud! This is the result of 2 months of planning, co-ordination of the AV installer & the furniture specialists & lots of patience!
Nice clean system. Lucky person getting lots of specialists in! Where did you get the butt kicker?

I've been shopping for a new SM for some time. I thought I had done all my homework and had just about settled on one. Then I stopped by an unknown (to me) dealer and discovered the Brother Innov-is VQ3000 "Dreamweaver". (This is the "twin sister" of the Baby Lock Crescendo over which I had done rather a lot of oohing and ahing, but decided was just too rich for my blood. I'm also in the market for my first EM and had a set amount to spend on both.) After a number of demos and testing and some further unnecessary drooling, just for fun, I asked for a price. Her quote was far less than the Baby Lock, and Brother is running a promotion thru Jan. 28th. That night I told my investor (DH) all about my adventure.
Long story short, we went back yesterday, and I came home with not only the Dreamweaver, but a Brother PE-780D EM as well! I think I chose well--DH, that is. He has always been my greatest supporter and far more willing to spend big bucks on my equipment than I am. He said I deserve a machine worthy of my talent! What a man! And hopefully the machines will be a good choice as well.
I have never owned a TOL machine, so I'm looking forward to discovering all it can do. So far it is out of the box--no easy task, this is a behemoth of a machine with an 11.25" harp. The clock is set (still wondering about this since I mostly prefer NOT to watch the clock when I'm sewing...must be a way to disable that feature), a bobbin is wound and the needle is threaded. Now, how long do we sit here and stare at it and wonder where to start?!

Photographer's Note
Although it might not be perceived as being a solemn thing from a westerner's perspective, there is a serious level of formality and observance to take into account when approaching and addressing oneself to a tribal chief.
This chief didn't like the idea of being photographed, and even less when I asked him to take place in front of its hut, but with genuine respect and big smile, it can go a long way.
Still, the grumpy face remained, but I like it like that, as a cute looking chief isn't a real chief...

J'aime bien la note de cette photo: ça montre bien comment tu es arrivé à cette vue.
Ce que j'appécie aussi c'est cette unité de couleur dans les tons bruns: ça donne une grande part de l'originalité de ce portrait qui montre aussi l'endroit de vie. En plus, une bonne lisibilité avec le personnage éclairé qui se détache joliment sur un bout d'arrière plan plus sombre.
Tu devrais commencer à rassembler tes portraits de voyages dans un recueil.

Hi Andre - Your note describes the meeting with the chief and the necessary protocol very well. I remember taking some shots of a headman when we visited the north and the uncomfortable feeling that accompanied the exchange. These are proud people and fiercely protective of their culture and a good thing too as such minority groups find it difficult to hang on to their traditions in the modern world. A fine shot with a lovely palette of natural earthy colours and fine detail. I do like the way he is holding his stick. Warm regards Rosemary

Yankees Short Hops: Game 1
Sabathia leads the way, Damon's bat comes to life
By Thomas Boorstein / MLB.com
An opportunistic Yankees team took advantage of three Angels errors and a dominant CC Sabathia pitching performance to strike first in the ALCS.
Frozen moment
Johnny Damon's scoring from second on Hideki Matsui's infield popup single that fell when Angels third baseman Chone Figgins and shortstop Erick Aybar exchanged glances but not words. The miscue turned out to be the first of many for the Halos on Friday.
2: Only two Angels reached second base in Sabathia's eight innings. Vladimir Guerrero doubled and scored in the fourth inning, and Kendry Morales walked and moved to second on a groundout in the seventh. Game balls
CC Sabathia
The Yankees' ace turned in his second strong performance of the postseason in as many outings. After going 6 2/3 innings and allowing one earned run against Minnesota, Sabathia worked eight innings of one-run ball and fanned seven Angels. This performance didn't come against a weak-hitting team, either. Los Angeles was second in baseball with its franchise-record 883 runs in the regular season. Sabathia did throw 113 pitches, and that could affect his availability for Game 4 on Tuesday in Anaheim.
Johnny Damon
The Yankees' left fielder entered Friday's game in a 1-for-12 slump to start the postseason, but he got two hits and scored two runs in Game 1. He also made a sliding catch in left field to rob Bobby Abreu of an extra-base hit.
Alex Rodriguez
The star of the Yankees' AL Division Series sweep of the Twins picked up where he left off. His first-inning sacrifice fly scored Derek Jeter and gave New York an early lead. Rodriguez now has at least one RBI in all four postseason games. He also singled and walked, but he did run through third-base coach Rob Thomson's stop sign en route to being thrown out at the plate in the fifth.
Sense of October
With the game-time temperature at 45 degrees, all the Yankees' starters -- save Rodriguez -- wore long-sleeved undershirts. Mark Teixeira and Nick Swisher had earflaps on their hats, and Robinson Cano went with a ski mask. With the decorative bunting flapping in the breeze, Yankee Stadium had a distinct autmnal feel.
Johnny Damon
Comment: Damon had a single and a two-base hit to double his postseason hits total in 2009. He also scored the team's second and third runs.
CC Sabathia
8 IP, 1 R, 4 H, 7 K's, 1 BB
Comment: Sabathia has only one walk in 14 2/3 innings this postseason after having 22 in 25 career playoff innings entering 2009.
"Pretty impressive. Pretty impressive. To be on the non-receiving end of all his pitching today, it was awesome. To go out there and play defense behind him, the way he got the crowd going -- he really got the crowd going in our favor tonight." -- Nick Swisher on Sabathia
Next step
Both teams will watch the weather forecast as they hope to play Game 2 on Saturday. If the rain holds off, A.J. Burnett could put the Yankees in the catbird seat before the series travels to Anaheim for Games 3, 4 and, if necessary, 5.

You admire a character for trying more than for their successes.
Keep in mind what's interesting to you as an audience, not what's fun to do as a writer. They can be very different.
Trying for theme is important, but you won't see what the story is actually about until you're at the end of it. Now rewrite.
Once upon a time there was ___. Every day, ___. One day ___. Because of that, ___. Because of that, ___. Until finally ___.
Simplify. Focus. Combine characters. Hop over detours. You'll feel like you're losing valuable stuff but it sets you free.
. What is your character good at, comfortable with? Throw the opposite at them. Challenge them. How do they deal?
. Come up with your ending before you figure out your middle. Endings are hard, get yours working up front.
Finish your story, let go even if it's not perfect. In an ideal world you have both, but move on. Do better next time.
. When you're stuck, make a list of what wouldn't happen next. Lots of times the material to get you unstuck will show up.
Pull apart the stories you like. What you like in them is a part of you; you've got to recognize it before you can use it.
Putting it on paper lets you start fixing it. If it stays in your head, a perfect idea, you'll never share it with anyone.
Discount the first thing that comes to mind—and the second, third, fourth and fifth. Get the obvious out of the way. Surprise yourself.
Give your characters opinions. Passive/malleable might seem likable to you as you write, but it's poison to the audience.
Why must you tell this story? What's the belief burning within you that your story feeds off of? That's the heart of it.
If you were your character, in this situation, how would you feel? Honesty lends credibility to unbelievable situations.
What are the stakes? Give us reason to root for the character. What happens if they don't succeed? Stack the odds against.
No work is ever wasted. If it's not working, let go and move on. It'll come back around to be useful later.
You have to know yourself: the difference between doing your best and fussing. Story is testing, not refining.
Coincidences to get characters into trouble are great; coincidences to get them out of it are cheating.
Exercise: Take the building blocks of a movie you dislike. How do you rearrange them into what you do like?
You must identify with your situation and/or characters; you can't just write "cool." What would make you act that way?

|Route Climbed: Lassen Peak Trail Date Climbed: See Below.....
|Have done Lassen Peak three times, with all three trips via the standard Lassen Peak Trail. The first trip was in August 1999, the second trip was in September 1999, and the third trip was in June 2001. This hike/climb was really enjoyable every time I did it. The trail is not very strenuous, if you allow the time necessary to do it comfortably. Great views from the top of Lassen NP, the upper Sacramento Valley, and of Mt Shasta to the northwest!

|This was the last mountain we did on a 2-week journey through the volcanoes of The Cascades. This was my first big climbing trip away from my home mountains of the Sierra. We weren't very successful on that trip, but boy! did we have a good time. In fact, this was the trip that got me hooked on traveling & climbing mountains!

|This was an extremely fun acclimatization warmup for Mt. Shasta the following day. The road had just opened the day before and there were only a few cars in the parking lot all day. I had much fun scrambling about on the rocks and snowshoeing around the crater rim.

|Nice short day hike after climbing and skiing Mt. Shasta.
|Posted Jul 24, 2001 8:21 pm
|Route Climbed: South Side Date Climbed: June 25, 2000
|By this time of year, the road was plowed and there was very little snow remaining on the trail. The snow had already started breaking up on the Northeast Face, however, there were still some decent runs on the South Face. This was my first time up this volcano and unfortunately I didn't bring my skis. On the way up I ran into a guy hiking up in flip-flop sandals, t-shirt, and shorts, with his snowboard and boots. I got to see him ride down the South Face using his sandals as "gloves" as well as a skier who was stuck out on the slope. Since this guy wasn't moving, a ranger had to go up to meet him - not sure what happened there. It was a gorgeous day and I highly recommend going when there's still snow.

Mount Moriah (NH) Climber's Log
[ Sign the Climber's Log ]
|Blue bird day via the Carter Moriah TH
Date Climbed: Apr 23, 2016
|Didn't start until 3 PM so the rain earlier in the day had a chance to clear off. Two hours and thirty three minutes to the top with microspikes; I liked the open rock slabs on the way up. When you reach the massive free standing glacial erratic on your right on the ascent you are more than 75% to the summit.
|Posted Apr 24, 2016 8:14 pm
|Hot day, cool hike
Date Climbed: Sep 27, 2014
|Was longer than expected - very easy hike other than the wet granite. Hadn't rained in 10 days and was 80 out and granite was still weeping water - can't imagine it is ever dry.

Date Climbed: Nov 8, 2014
|Climbed Moriah with my son (and best hiking buddy) from the Rattle River trailhead. The trailhead had traces of light sleet but the higher we climbed the more continuous the snow became. By the time we were nearing the summit there was 4-5 inches of snow and rhyme ice on the tress making for a beautiful winter scene on the summit. The views south to the Carters was fantastic!
It is now time for the microspikes/cramp-ons and gaitors to come out. We left our gaitors in the car and regretted it, I did not realize so much snow fell since midweek when I last check local summit webcams for wildcat. Microspikes made the climb more sure footed.
Temps were cold on the summit in the low 20s but the winds were light. The gales were not supposed to come in until the evening so we bagged the peak and headed down via the Stony Brook Trail. We had planned to do the Carters as well but the icy snowy conditions made travel slower than the week before when I bagged 6 peaks in a weekend so we had to take the escape chute before ending up hiking by headlamp in gales over the Dome later that evening.

|Cool hike. Liked the open slabby areas but they can be slimy and very slippery when moist. Number two of my trip to NH to hike with Flanders. Met a woman who only had one more 4000er to get and we convinced her to try Washington the next day. Hope she got it.

Date Climbed: Mar 20, 1999
|Wanted to do Mt Washington but got snowed out so settled for this one. The only successful summit in a one week trip. Also failed on Adams and Jefferson. Also climbed it in the summer in the 1980's.

Date Climbed: May 23, 2008
|Good day to be in the mountains. Glad I wasn't caught above the ledges when the rain came. I don't recommend this trail for dogs unless they are good at bushwacking as the ledges could pose some issues for them. Also, Bangor Road is currently getting worked on (water pipes, I believe) so just beware that you might have to wait a bit. The parking at the trailhead is also minimal, so be conscious of where you park and where the construction equipment will need to go.

|Well, with the Indian Summer, I had to get out and enjoy temps in the mid 70s!! Fine day, hardly a cloud in the sky. Perfect views. I came back to get this one in the summer. In April 07, a friend and I lost the trail on the ledges due to the 4+ ft of snow. The fall colors were starting to come out and looked quite nice.
|Posted Sep 24, 2007 4:13 pm
Date Climbed: Jul 10, 1974
|I backpacked over the peak with My Friend Tom F. Tom and I always planned to meet again for a trip in later years. In 2004 I lost my chance, as Tom died suddenly at age 50. I plan to climb another Moriah someday, partly as remembrance.
Exact date is a bit unclear. Part of a 300 mile trek on the AT. Went from the P Notch to Imp Cabin the day before (over Wildcats and Carters), then over Moriah next morn.

|Climbed Carter-Moriah trail from Gorham. Some clouds over the Presis finally cleared, visibility was excellent, trail in great condition, and the company--Denise, climbing her first mountain(!!)--could not have been better. The trip was made ever more delightful by the company of Ron and his wonder-dog, Teddy.

If you want to get involved locally in creating healthier food and laws that guarantee it, Julie Meadows is starting a group to fight genetically modified foods.
Called GMO-Free Colorado Southwest, the group met for the first time a month ago and is planning to press for labeling of all genetically modified organisms. They are also looking to educate people about practices they can do every day to keep GMOs out of their kitchen.
The most commonly modified foods are corn, canola, cottonseed, soy and sugar. If theyre not organic, dont buy them, she says.
Meadows warns against new GMO foods like the Arctic apple, a Granny Smith that doesnt brown when you cut it. Then theres what she calls the Frankenfish, a breed of salmon that quickly grows to twice the normal size and contains the genes of another fish.
GMOs are in all the meat we eat, she said. Cows and pigs and chickens are fed GMO grains sold by the federal government to farmers. Ive never trusted their treatment of the animals.
If youre interested, the next meeting is Jan. 24 at 6 p.m. For more information, contact email@example.com, or call Meadows at 375-1262.

Selena Gomez Lovably Disses Justin Bieber on 'The Late Show With David Letterman' [VIDEO]
Selena Gomez has been taking passive aggressive digs at Justin Bieber since they first broke up, and she kept the momentum going with her Monday night interview on 'The Late Show With David Letterman,' where she and the adorably gap-toothed host poked fun at her ex's misery.
And this time instead of doing a lame dance, Gomez was actually charming and funny.
Letterman asked Gomez if she was dating anyone, and she confirmed with a sly giggle that she was single. Innocuous enough, right?
However, Letterman, who has never seemed to be a big fan of the 'Baby' singer, brought up a previous encounter he had with Bieber.
"Now, the last time he was on, he and I got into a conversation," Letterman said. "He said something, then I said something, then he said something … and I made him cry."
Gomez laughed hysterically, then deadpanned, "That makes two of us."
The 'Spring Breakers' starlet was visibly pleased with herself, but we're going to cut her some slack — because we were pretty pleased with her too.

Earlier today, Steve Jobs pulled out a
shotgun and fired
away at Adobe at point-blank range. Jobs laid out a six-point
plan of attack detailing why Adobe Flash is detrimental to the Mac
and iPhone/iPod touch/iPad mobile platforms and why the web should
just let the "proprietary standard" die.
Well, we knew that Adobe wasn't just
gonna let Jobs' barbs fly without a response -- and like clockwork,
Adobe's CEO has answered back. The Wall Street Journal's Alan
Murray interviewed Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen about Jobs' comments
and here are a few of the highlights:
Interestingly, Narayen doesn't make any
mention of HTML5 which Jobs suggests that developers use to crush
Adobe Flash. You can view the full interview here at the WSJ's
Digits blog.

The KPMG Foundation has awarded Kerri-Ann Sanderson a $10,000 KPMG Minority Accounting Doctoral Scholarship to pursue her accounting doctorate at Georgia State University. The scholarship, renewed for the 2012-2013 academic year, is renewable for up to five years at $10,000 a year.
Since 1994, the KPMG Foundation has awarded over $10 million to 309 African-American, Hispanic-American, and Native American scholars pursuing doctorate degrees, as part of its ongoing commitment to increase the representation of minority students and professors in business schools.
Today, 184 of those scholarship recipients have successfully completed their doctoral program and are professors at universities throughout the country. Furthermore, 74 minorities are currently enrolled in accounting doctoral programs, and will take a place at the front of the classroom over the next few years.
Sanderson began her doctoral studies at Georgia State University in 2008. Bernard J. Milano, president of the KPMG Foundation, believes Sanderson "has demonstrated that dedication, hard work and ambition pay off. Like all our scholarship recipients, she is key to our country's future and we look forward to following her success after graduation."
The KPMG Foundation Minority Accounting Doctoral Scholarship program aims to further increase the completion rate among African-American, Hispanic-American and Native American doctoral students in accounting, and is part of a larger commitment by the KPMG Foundation to increase minority representation not only in accounting programs at colleges and universities, but in the American work force.
The program complements The Ph.D. Project, a separate 501(c) (3) organization that the KPMG Foundation founded in 1994, which recruits minority professionals from business into doctoral programs in all business disciplines. Since its inception in 1994, The Ph.D. Project has increased the number of minority business professors from 294 to 1,168.
The Project attacks the root cause of minority under-representation in corporate jobs: historically, very few minority college students study business as an entrée to a corporate career. Diversifying the faculty attracts more minorities to study business and better prepares all students to function in a diverse workforce.
The KPMG Foundation is a 501(c)(3) private foundation. The foundation operates on donations from KPMG LLP, the U.S. audit, tax and advisory firm.

Communications to pass computers as top market for ICs
1 Comment
The computer IC market is
forecast to represent 34 percent of the total IC market in 2016, down
from 42 percent in 2011, IC Insights said. A 12 percent decline in the
computer memory market is expected to cause the total computer IC market
to decline by 9 percent this year, the second consecutive year of
decline, according to the firm.
Meanwhile, IC Insights also forecast that the market for automotive ICs would grow 53 percent between 2011 and 2016, reaching $28 billion. Europe is the largest regional market for automotive ICs, accounting for 37 percent of the market in 2012, but the Asia-Pacific automotive is forecast to be nearly the same size as the European market, IC Insights said.
IC Insights further predicted an increase in demand for ICs in home healthcare and medical applications, driven in part by an aging population. Analog ICs are forecast to represent 45 percent of the total industrial IC market in 2012, and are forecast to account for the largest portion of the industrial IC market through 2016, IC Insights said.
The 2013 edition of IC Insights' "IC Market Drivers—A Study of Emerging and Major End-Use Applications Fueling Demand for Integrated Circuits" will be available starting next month, with prices starting at $3,190 for individual users.
