Simultaneous observations of solar transition region blinkers and explosive events by SUMER, CDS and BBSO
Are blinkers, explosive events and spicules the same phenomenon?
Armagh Observatory, College Hill, Armagh BT61 9DG, N. Ireland

The SoHO discovery of the new "blinker" phenomena focused our study on the search of its relation to already known phenomena such as explosive events and spicules. The study was performed using a specially planned joint observing program involving the Coronal Diagnostic Spectrometer (CDS), Solar Ultraviolet Measurements of Emitted Radiation spectrograph (SUMER) and Big Bear Solar Observatory (BBSO) magnetograph. Within each blinker, the SUMER data reveal the presence of small-scale (3´´–5´´), short-lived (2–3 min) bright features not seen in the CDS data which has sometimes being interpreted as oscillations in SUMER data. With this data we have clearly identified UV explosive events in CDS data. The explosive events show a size close to the small-scale brightenings forming the blinker core. However, they appear in the SUMER data with their typical strong blue and red wings while the blinker shows at best only a small increase in the emission of the blue and red wings and in most instances the typical transition region red-shift in the center of the line. In all cases the explosive events cover one pixel in CDS corresponding to a size of . All identified explosive events were located at the border of the bright network i.e. the blinker, in the network or even in the internetwork. From this data, we believe that blinkers and explosive events are two separate phenomena not directly related or triggering each other. In this study, the Doppler shift was derived in a blinker phenomenon for the first time. It ranges from –5 to 25 and is predominantly red-shifted. The observed magnetic flux increase during the blinker phenomena seems to play a crucial role in the development of this event. We suggest that "blinkers" maybe the on-disk signature of spicules.

The 2017 International Environment and Sustainable Development Student Forum
By:UN Environment- Tongji Institute of Environment for Sustainable Development Published:06/09/2017
On June 5th, the World Environment Day, about 300 college students from 30 countries around the world gathered at the 1•29 Auditorium of Tongji University to attend the 2017 International Environment and Sustainable Development Student Forum whose topic was "Human and nature are closely related." Students focused on four issues, including "ecological system and wild animals, sustainable development education and the United Nations, and ecological city and green lifestyle" and they shared their newest practical experience as well as their ideas with each other.
On the forum, Professor ZHOU Huaiyang from the School of Ocean and Earth Science of Tongji University delivered a report, analyzing deep-sea mining from the perspectives of the environment, technology, economy and regulation, and pointing out that we should pay great attention to the research on deep-sea ecological environment. Nick Nato, the Secretary of Information Department of United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Executive Secretary Spokesman, emphasized the development path of human-being and global economy had been reset by the Treaty of Paris and the transformation to low-carbon and clean technology economy was irresistible and inevitable.

12 Reasons We Totally Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day
Once a year just isn't enough.
1. You genuinely look forward to getting up in the morning.
It's the only time that getting up at 7am doesn't feel so painful.
2. There's a slightly higher chance of snow.
Even when the weather forecast tells you otherwise.
3. It's a great excuse to get dressed up.
Everyone's got a special "Christmas Day outfit".
4. Or be cozy in Christmas sweaters.
They're practical and fun.
5. People are generally so much cheerier.
There's no replicating that Christmas spring in your step.
6. Everything looks so sparkly.
Like it's covered in actual fairy dust!
7. There are always so many great movies on TV.
And you look forward to watching your favorites, over and over again.
8. It's the only time you can sing some of your favorite songs.
Try to sing a Christmas song in July and it's practically a crime!
9. The food is amazing!
Having to wait a whole year to eat 'pigs in blankets' is just unfair!
10. And you don't feel as bad about eating so much candy.
"Yes I will have another Christmas cookie, thank you!"
11. You get to spend some quality time with your family.
So what if your sister stole your favorite dress yesterday; today it's Christmas!
12. And seeing how excited they are when they open their presents is a great feeling.
Especially when you know you've got them something they'll love!
Why would you want it to be Christmas everyday?
Let us know in the comments below.

Adjunct Associate Professor, Certification Officer
Director, Center for School Study Councils
Faculty Director, Penn Project on Civic Engagement
Graduate School of Education
University of Pennsylvania
Phone: 215-898-7371
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
As the director of the Center for School Study Councils, Dr. Sokoloff is responsible for working with school superintendents, school boards, and district staff to help them keep pace with state-of-the-art educational and management theory, research, and practice. In that role, he develops and conducts more than 50 workshops and seminars on educational leadership issues each academic year for school superintendents in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
His initiatives with school districts and community organizations include a variety of projects to create opportunities to engage students in school and community problem-solving, as well as to build stronger, more productive relationships between schools and their communities. For example, he worked with high school students, teachers, and community officials in Bensalem Township (Pa.) to develop community-based principles and designs for developing the waterfront there. In the Camp Hill School District (Pa.), he worked with the district and community to provide common-ground values-based principles that provided the foundation for the construction of a community performing arts center. In the Hopewell Valley School District (N.J.), Dr. Sokoloff guided the district in creating a "community agenda" of values and goals that could serve as a touchstone for the district's educational strategic planning efforts. He developed the Franklin Conference on School Design as well as the National Summit on School Design for the American Architecture Foundation.
Dr. Sokoloff is currently on the Executive Committee of the Education Policy Leadership Center and has served on the on the boards of the National Liberty Museum and Education Center, Perelman Jewish Day School, American Theater Arts for Youth, and was an associate of the Kettering Foundation.
As founder and director of the Penn Project for Civic Engagement (PPCE), he has designed and implemented community engagement projects ranging locally and nationally. His Citizen Voices, a project of the Philadelphia Inquirer Editorial Board, won the National Batten Award for Civic Journalism. PPCE sponsors the Civic Engagement Institute, a summer institute at Penn GSE that focuses on teaching the theory and practice of deliberative democracy.
Dr. Sokoloff's applied research focuses on student civic engagement and community development, particularly the (re)building of a public for public education through the use of deliberative public forums. As director of the Penn Project on Civic Engagement, he designs and implements civic engagement projects in the region. Current work includes The Big Canvas and The City Budget: Tight Times, Tough Choices projects, both in partnership with WHYY. The latter engaged more than 1,700 taxpayers in deliberative budget workshops; Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter has credited those deliberations with informing his budget development. Dr. Sokoloff continues to develop similar civic engagement projects to engage taxpayers in deliberative processes to inform policy development. Other projects focus on ways for communities to address the dropout rate in Philadelphia, challenges of integrating new immigrants into commercial corridors, and mental health policy. In addition, Dr. Sokoloff has worked with more than 80 educational organizations on a range of organizational development and improvement projects, strategic planning, and organizational redesign.

The Reflective Fostering Programme (RFP)
The Reflective Fostering Programme (RFP) is a new group-based programme aiming to support foster carers. The RFP will be offered to foster carers of children aged 4-11 and has been designed to support carers who are experiencing some difficulties or challenges. The programme will consist of ten sessions of three hours' duration each over a period of 4-6 months, delivered by two facilitators to a group of 8-10 foster carers simultaneously. Throughout the programme, psycho-educational discussions, games, exercises and work sheets are used to support and enhance RF of foster carers, in order to help them build more supportive relationships with the children in their care.
This innovative development follows calls by NICE and other organisations to help improve outcomes for children in care, many of whom have experienced early maltreatment and trauma, by providing better support to their carers. RFP is based on evidence from the field of attachment, which indicates that children who have a parent high in reflective functioning (RF), i.e. with the ability to reflect and be curious about their own minds and those of the children in their care, have more favourable outcomes in terms of emotional well-being.
The RFP has been developed between the Anna Freud National Centre for Children and Families (AFNCCF) and the NSPCC. The pilot study will take place in partnership with NSPCC services in Gillingham and Sheffield. The Local Authorities attached to each site will make referrals to the programme. The proposal is for there to be two RFP groups per site, with each group led by two NSPCC staff trained as facilitators.

The easiest way to start improving your poker skills immediatelyPosted by Jeff on Apr 20, 2011 in Execution, Optimal Play
Today I am sharing my simplest yet most powerful tip. I am convinced that once you integrate the following into your poker game/routine, you will begin enjoying poker on a whole new level AND tremendously improve your poker skills.
The trick is to grab a friend, a tray of poker chips and a timer; then start playing some live heads up poker freezouts with your best poker buddy.
Here are some thoughts on some of the variables involved in setting up a Heads Up match. The key is to make these matches as competitive and enjoyable as possible in order to get the most out of them.
Heads Up Freezouts: Playing a series of freezouts is the best way to keep these games engaging. Being able to reset the chips equally after winning or losing a game will keep both parties engaged and ready to compete.
Starting stacks: The starting stacks should not be too shallow as this would restrict the amount of creative play, but they should also not be unrealistically deep either. The goal is to reproduce situations similar to your standard full table game. Starting stacks of about 80 to 120 big blinds with 20 minute or so levels should be adequate for most players.
The Stakes: Stakes should be high enough to keep the competitive momentum flowing, but not too high as to discourage the matches from continuously running. Make each match be worth fighting for but not enough to hurt anyone enough to make them feel like they have to quit playing before they lose too much.
Side Bet: Seeing that single heads up freezouts are very small units of play, you can always turn them into a series of matches. For instance, all of my heads up games with my buddies are part of "race to 10 win" matches. We bet a certain amount per individual win plus the first to win 10 freezouts wins an extra bet. This is yet another way to keep things competitive. Having a constantly running scoreboard helps keep the participants motivated.
Here are a few guidelines to consider in finding a heads Up buddy that will help you get the most out of these matches.
A worthy opponent – Your opponent should be a tough challenge for you. He should not be overly predictable so that you are forced into as many tough decisions as possible
Competitive – The more competitive these matches are, the more you will get out of them. Try to find a heads up friend that will "fight for every inch" and spark your competitiveness!
Wanting to improve – Find an opponent that is looking to reap the same benefits from these matches as you are. Find an opponent that plays poker to improve and because it is the most enjoyable game on Earth. You need to play with someone that PLAYS POKER FOR VALUE!
Playing these freezouts will help your poker game in many ways.
They will force you to play more hands: This also means you will play hands that you would not play often under normal conditions. This will help you figure out those "odd situations" you find yourself in during your regular game. Experience is one of the keys in poker. Heads up poker is a quick way to gain a lot of MEANINGFUL experience.
They will force you to pay attention: There is a lot less downtime while playing heads Up poker. You are in or near the action 100 percent of the time. This encourages you to examine your opponent more closely. Heads up poker promotes the habit of profiling your opponent's tendencies and helps you appreciate the value of studying your opponent for verbal and nonverbal tells.
You will become "battle ready": Getting much repetition in a very COMPETITIVE setting will benefit you when you need it most. To maintain your composure while facing a tough decision with something significant on the line is a learnable skill. Playing these heads up matches will help fight the tendency of 'freezing" in tough spots during your regular game.
Do you play regular heads up matches with your buddies? If so, has it improved your overall game? How so? If you have any suggestions or comments, I would love to hear your thoughts.

How to Play It
The performer must place fingers accurately to play in tune and can slide or rock fingers for glissando and vibrato. A surface guide pattern assists the player in accurately playing a desired equal tempered pitch. Any alternate tuning is at the performer's disposal by varying away from this equal tempered reference. The z (pressure) position of each finger provides dynamic control. The performer produces tremolo by changing the amount of finger pressure. An experienced performer may simultaneously play a crescendo and diminuendo on different notes. The y (front-to-back) position of each finger provides additional timbre control for each note in a chord. By sliding fingers in the y direction while notes are sounding, the performer can create timbre glides. Depending upon the capabilities of the synthesizer used with the Continuum Fingerboard, the y position can have a variety of effects. One possibility is to let the y position on the Continuum Fingerboard correspond to the bowing position on a string instrument, where bowing far from the bridge produces a mellower sound and bowing near the bridge produces a brighter sound. Another possibility is to let y morph between timbres of different acoustic instruments. In either case, the performer can bring out certain notes in a chord not only by playing them more loudly, as on a piano, but also by playing them with a different timbre quality.
Performing on the Continuum Fingerboard is challenging. Like a fretless instrument, a performer must rely on audio feedback, finger memory and manual dexterity for accurate intonation and expression. Like the Theremin, or any acoustic instrument, the Continuum Fingerboard requires extensive practice. New possibilities for expressive performance are the reward for those who learn to play the Continuum Fingerboard.

Lord Rooker: My Lords, I shall seek to do justice to the noble Lord's group of amendments. I am not seeking to jump the gun, but I may touch on Amendment No. 5, to which he referred and which is linked with Amendment No. 8, although that amendment is the property of the Conservative Front Bench.
This group is largely concerned with placing conditions on the Secretary of State's power to make orders under the Bill. Noble Lords will be aware that the purpose of the powers is that in the event of a further dispute the Secretary of State can take action to remove the cause of the argument. If it becomes necessary for the Secretary of State to use the powersand we very much hope that it will nothe must be able to intervene decisively and without undue delay so that the argument does not drag on, as it did in the past 12 months. Placing preconditions on the powers, however well intentioned, would make that more difficult and could even call into question the Secretary of State's ability to exercise the powers, as I shall explain.
Amendments Nos. 2 and 4 are in part concerned with restricting the use of Clause 1(1) to states of emergency. They would allow the Secretary of State to use his powers under that subsection in a state of emergency, but the recent fire service pay dispute was not deemed a state of emergency, even when the country was at war. Local disputes that may stem from the dispute are certainly unlikely to constitute a state of emergency.
The Emergency Powers Acts 1920 and 1964 allow the Queen to issue a proclamation of a state of emergency if it appears to Her Majesty that there have occurred, or are about to occur, events of such a nature,
Lord Rooker: My Lords, no. I am sticking to the notes that I have.
We do not want a state of emergency to exist at all. If it were to do so, for example, as the result of a chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear attack, I would hope and expect firefighters to act responsibly regardless of whether they were engaged in an industrial dispute and to protect the public. I know from his remarks on Second Reading that the noble Lord, Lord Campbell of Alloway, shares that view. Noble Lords will recall that there were numerous occasions during the dispute when firefighters left their picket lines to attend emergency calls when lives were in danger. We would expect nothing less, and we pay tribute to the work done in that respect.
The noble Lord, Lord Campbell of Alloway, has previously indicated that he believes that powers such as those in Clause 1(1) should be exercised only in a state of emergency. During the Second Reading debate, he recalled the emergency legislation passed during the Second World War and indicated that the Bill could have been justified by the circumstances pertaining at the time of its introduction in the other placethat is, the conflict in the Gulf. Circumstances have clearly changed since the Bill's introduction in the other place, although our Armed Forces are of course still at risk.
As I said in Grand Committee, it would not be right for us to have to wait for a state of emergency before the powers in the Bill could be exercised. It would not be acceptable to the House or to those outside this place if the dispute were to flare up again, further strikes were threatened, and all that the Government could say was, "We can't sort this out because there isn't a war on". As I have explained repeatedly, this Bill is to tackle a specific circumstance, which is not a state of emergency.
With respect to collective bargaining, in relation to Amendments Nos. 4 and 6, the other conditions under which the Secretary of State may make an order under Clause 1(1)(a) are when collective bargaining has broken down and mandatory arbitration has either not been applied for or the results of the tribunal have been ignored or rejected.
The difficulty with the proposition that collective bargaining would have to have failed before the Secretary of State could exercise his powers is that it is a matter of judgment whether collective bargaining has failed. There is not necessarily one single point in a dispute that marks with absolute certainty the point at which collective bargaining can be considered to have failed. For example, it could be argued strongly that collective bargaining did not fail during the recent dispute, given that the two parties eventually reached an agreement. Most reasonable people would accept that there were a number of occasions during the long dispute when the prospect of a negotiated settlement seemed extremely remote and where the sort of decisive intervention that the Bill will allow would have been appropriate.
Amendments Nos. 6 and 4, if accepted, would theoretically provide an opportunity for the employers or the union to challenge the Secretary of State's exercise of power on the grounds that in their view
As regards the other conditions suggested in Amendments Nos. 6 and 4, namely, the issue of the award of a mandatory arbitral tribunal, that should have been ignored or rejected before the Secretary of State can use his powers. Amendment No. 6 refers to Amendment No. 7, which would provide for the establishment of an independent mandatory arbitral tribunal for the resolution of disputes concerning the conditions of service of members of the fire brigade. Disputes would be referred to the tribunal only if collective bargaining had failed. The failure of collective bargaining would be determined by the parties or ACAS. The award of the tribunal would be, as the noble Lord said, binding on all parties and the Government.
The issue of arbitration was raised by a number of noble Lords during Second Reading debate and in Grand Committee. We indicated then that the Government had some difficulty with it. That is still the case. It would go against the whole purpose of the Bill. If the two parties to negotiation cannot agree, the democratically elected Secretary of State with responsibility for the provision of an effective fire service and for the public funding of that service, should step in and make a settlement. I agree that that would require some hard decisions and those could not and should not be handed over to a third party.
The issues which caused the most difficulty in the fire dispute are those such as how the fire service should move from a prescribed national fire cover standard to a locally risk-based approach to fire cover; and what are the implications for staff, especially shift patterns? These are not necessarily issues for arbitration. Ultimately, one cannot arbitrate about policy questions such as the right basis for fire cover. One can arbitrate about some of the implications, but it is hard to see how even the best independent arbitrator would be better placed to make informed judgments than those directly involved in managing the fire service or those in government who have the policy responsibility for it. We are prepared to make the hard decisions ourselves if we have to, not just hand them over to someone else.
Amendment No. 7 also states that any award of a tribunal would be binding on the Government. That raises the question of whether the Secretary of State would still be able to discharge his powers under Clause 1(1)(a) to fix or modify conditions if this interfered with the decision of a tribunal and the award of the tribunal was binding on the government. However, as the Government are not a party in the resolution of disputes concerning the conditions of service of members of the fire brigade, it would be impossible for the award of a tribunal to be binding on them. The drafting in this respect is flawed.
As regards Amendment No. 4, it also requires the Secretary of State, save in states of emergency, to consult before directing fire authorities in the disposal and use of their facilities and property under Clause 1(1)(b). If it became necessary for the Secretary of State to use the powers, he must be able to intervene decisively and without undue delay so that lives are not put at risk. He may need to do that in circumstances which do not amount to a state of emergency as defined in other legislation mentioned earlier, but where the public are still at risk. However well-intentioned, and I accept the good intentions on this point, placing pre-conditions on the powers would make that much more difficult.
Amendments Nos. 3 and 13 would effectively remove the provisions in subsection (3) which require the Secretary of State to submit any proposals on the conditions of service for fire brigade members to any negotiating body that appears to exist. I assume that the noble Lord wishes us to read this amendment in conjunction with Amendments Nos. 2 or 4, which makes it impossible for the Secretary of State to use these powers in subsection (1) save in a state of emergency.
I explained earlier why we cannot accept the amendment, which restricts order-making powers to a state of emergency, and, as Amendments Nos. 3 and 13 would not be desirable without this pre-condition, I regret that I cannot accept them either.
I have a final point to make about Amendment No. 5, to which the noble Lord referred. It takes a different, more direct approach. It seeks to make collective action taken at the instigation of a trade union unlawful, first, if it disrupts fire brigade services, and secondly, if it inhibits performance of an order made under the Bill.
I can only repeat what I have said on numerous occasions. We do not intend to change the general law on industrial action in relation to the fire service. Whatever the cause of any collective action, if the proper steps are taken the existing legislation will offer some protection for those taking the action. That will remain. The Government do not intend to use the Bill, which we have consistently said is limited in its purpose, to make changes to industrial relations law. With that in mind, I hope that the noble Lord will reflect on the matter and withdraw his amendment.

Nice Tables
Your review: Very nice, sturdy tables. Assembly is simple. Our only complaints are: 1. Sales told our manager for this department prior to order that the base table (w/o the lower shelf) could hang 3 cabinets, when in fact only hardware to hang 2 was provided. 2. The screws provided to screw into the resin top were the same as the ones for the wood tops, and they were extremely flimsy. Several snapped when screwing them into the resin.

- Upon arrival, remove flowers from box by cutting any straps located on the outside and inside of the box.
- Fill clean containers with at least 5 - 6 inches of fresh, cool water.
- Remove any leaves that fall below the water line. Not removing the leaves may cause bacteria to form and shorten the flower's life.
- Using sharp scissors or a knife, cut stems diagonally approximately one inch under running water if possible.
- Immediately after cutting, place stems in the prepared containers.
- Keep flowers away from direct sunlight, drafts or excessive heat/cold.

Excitement set to return to Honda with new Civic Type R and NSX
Honda is ditching its image of selling boring cars and has revealed it WILL be producing a new Civic Type R.
Hot Honda fans will be relieved to know the good times could well be returning to their beloved firm, as Honda will not only be producing a Civic hot hatch but also a new NSX supercar.
The spicy Civic is slated for release in 2015 and will initially be available in Europe. It could well use a turbocharged 1.6-litre petrol unit – a development of the engine which will power Honda's World Touring Car next year.
Thankfully the new Type R won't just be a Civic hatch with the fabled badge on its boot-lid. The new car will aim to become the fastest front-wheel-drive vehicle on the fabled Nurburgring, in Germany.
Before then, though, hot Honda fans will be able to get their hands on the new NSX. Set to go on sale in 2014, the new supercar will use Honda's newly developed three-motor hybrid system and all-wheel-drive technology providing highly efficient supercar performance.
Honda also confirmed it is introducing a new compact SUV – likely to be based on the Jazz, rumours suggest – and an all-new fuel cell electric model for Europe, Japan and the US for 2015.

When YouTube users try to post a comment they are now met with a box displaying their current, pseudonymous identity, alongside their real name as shown on Google's social network, Google+.
The box asks users to "start using your full name on YouTube". Users are not obliged to accept the suggestion but if they decline they will have to tell Google why they don't want to use their real name.
Google said it began implementing the change last month to give users "the option" to use their Google+ identity on YouTube.
If users do choose to link their accounts they will have the option to review their past comments and disassociate themselves with anything they find embarrassing. "Maybe you posted a few things way back (all those 'I love you Biebs!!' comments?) that you'd rather not associate with publicly," writes Google's John Fisher.
He added: "However, we realize that using your full name isn't for everyone. Maybe people know you by your YouTube username. Perhaps you don't want your name publicly associated with your channel."
A YouTube spokesman said: "Note that it is not only for commenting – YouTube users with existing Google+ profiles see this option when they comment or upload a video."

thanks again for the info
The Universal Collections you could try and get them all packed together and try for a payment plan for a PFD.
Apollo group you could try to settle with a PFD, offer them half or something like that. See what they counter.
The other 2 are low amounts, keep trying for the Pfds.
I was thinking about asking them to group them together. But I wanted to wait till I had the money to pay in full its like 1100.00+ just a little tough to save that kind of money when IM already paying the judgment and all house hold related bills. I really don't want to start a payment plan because it can do more harm than good if I miss a payment. IM waiting to see if the PFD come back I already have the money orders purchased to send them as soon as I get there response. I also think I have to pay in full for the Apollo because she wants to go back and finish her program with them IM a little skeptical though Not sure if they will even let her start again because of flunking out. I have to pay it either way but I hope they will let her back in after I pay it off
Thanks shogun
Very good planning on your part. I would also wait till I had the money all accounted for before making a deal. And when you do, see if they will cut you a deal. Wouldn't hurt to try and save a little money to put down toward the next bill. Good luck.
after sending PFD to north american and r&r got no responce from either. wife called both this morning and was told they dont pfd. they are both for medical bills 1 for her and 1 for my daughter.
my question is what to do now..
i have looked up hipaa process and cant find anything that will point me in the right direction unsure what to do now.

They all say they don't PFD and yet they do. Offer it again!
my wife got ahold of the OC and is paying the 52.00 directly to them. they arent listed on her report just r&r. after payment can i just dispute r&r to get it removed
Payment or lack of payment of the debt does not affect the fact of delinquencies and derogs that occur along the way, and is not a basis for deletion.
In fact, just the opposite is true. The CRAs have instructions in their credit reporting manual that information is not to be deleted based upon payment of the debt.
Refusal of a creditor or debt collector to decline a PFD offer is thus actually compliance with their reporting obligation.
They will usually establish an official policy of no deletions to show compliance with the CRA policy. Underlings usually dont have authority to grant exceptions.
Ergo, many PFDs will simply be refused until such time as the offer gets to the desk of a management official authorized to grant any exceptions to their standard policy.
if its not going to come off should I just have her not pay it? I mean if its not going to help her report I dont see any reason to pay it.
she talked to a rep at american radiology and the said no to the pfd but the will update it to show paid in full.
+1 They are required by law to report accurate information, however they are not required by law to report any information at all. That is to their discretion.
Payment to the OC will not require the CA to stop their reporting to the TL. You can ask the OC to try and pull it back, but that is an agreement between the OC and the CA, not a requirement.

A year after the global banking collapse in 2008, the then French Finance Minister, Christine Lagarde, made an off-the-cuff remark that the crisis would have looked very different if Lehman Brothers investment bank had been run by Lehman Sisters. Of course, it was hardly news that only a tiny handful of the world's economic and business leaders are women and that the glass ceiling remains a real obstacle to their promotion. But Lagarde's comment highlighted gender inequality in the financial sector at a time of intense criticism of reckless corporate behaviour - a time which also saw unprecedented public handwringing from economists and politicians who had been caught unawares by the crisis, and who were now struggling to understand how it had happened, let alone to find solutions.
Today, policy-makers are still fumbling in the dark, even as some small sectors of the US and EU economies appear to be lurching towards 'recovery' (itself a dubious term as poverty continues to spread post-credit crunch). In 2011 Lagarde shattered a further glass ceiling with her appointment as Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund, becoming one of the most powerful operators in the economic world. Nonetheless, as many are all-too aware from bitter personal experience, women everywhere continue to bear the brunt of social and financial inequality as the gender gap widens at an alarming rate, together with the gap between rich and poor, and the west and the developing world.
The need for systemic reform remains clear and urgent, but short-termism and blinkered socio-economic thinking continues to hold sway. Nowhere is this more clearly the case than the ongoing debate about gender inequality in business and employment which Lagarde triggered so apparently casually in 2009. On the one hand, a resurgence of identity politics and 'new feminism' is ensuring that many fraught and complex gender issues are being hotly debated. But, on the other hand, in the mainstream, scant attention is being paid to the deeper underlying problems of our financial system which are themselves signified by that very inequality. There is an urgent need to re-frame the terms of the debate to take account of the impossibility of achieving parity within the system as it stands.
Minding the Gender Gap
Economics has never been as gender-neutral as so many have blithely assumed. Indeed, the new trend towards gender economics or 'gendernomics' is itself surely a tacit and long overdue acknowledgement that access to wealth and economic opportunity has historically been almost entirely the preserve of a single gender - not to mention a single race and class. But many people still insist on debating Lagarde's point in shallow terms, arguing about whether greater numbers of women at the helm might change corporate behaviour whilst choosing to ignore the oppression and exploitation of women elsewhere in the labour market.
Actually, in existing corporate terms, the issue should no longer be contentious - for there is clear evidence of improved market success for those companies with a greater female presence in the boardroom. To take one of many studies with similar conclusions, a four-year analysis of Fortune 500 companies, published in 2007, found that returns were much higher on equity (53%), sales (42%) and invested capital (66%) for those companies with most women in top management teams compared to those dominated by men.
Lagarde herself continues to insist that encouraging women up the corporate ladder is vital to improving society's fiscal health, noting in a recent interview with the Wall St Journal that, when the Icelandic economy crashed, 'the banks, the funds, the government - everything was taken over by women,' adding, 'so when it's messy, you get the women in. But when the mess is sorted, keep the women.' At present, however, notwithstanding the upward trend, still a mere 19% of directors in FTSE 100 companies are women and of those, just 6.1% are executive directors holding core posts within the company.
So, in theory, things would appear to be straightforward: find a way of ensuring more women get to, and stay at, the top. But, leaving aside the daunting challenge that this itself presents, few people have questioned how greater numbers of women in the boardroom might address the many social problems caused by ongoing economic calamity; problems which inevitably hit women and the most vulnerable members of society the hardest. Would it guarantee at last equal pay at all levels of the labour market (the gender pay gap currently stands at around 16%)? How might an influx of women directors tackle the lack of basic employment rights for part-time workers, say, or put a halt to poverty wages within the formal and informal economies (it might prove enlightening to survey the wages paid to their female domestic staff by women in corporate positions of power)? What about zero-hours contracts and access to child care for single mothers or workers across the board? And what about the vital issue of unpaid domestic labour by so-called 'housewives' and other women - not to mention the problem of occupational segregation for those in paid work, as many women continue to find higher-earning professions such as IT and engineering beyond their reach?
Of course, underlying all this is the continued erosion of living standards and a loss of income in real terms for all but those growing richer as a direct result of corporate greed, corruption and incompetence. This, combined with draconian government cuts to public services and welfare, affects women disproportionately whether or not they are fortunate enough to be in paid employment. Taking all these factors together, the idea of some kind of sisterhood solidarity emanating top-down from a mythical 'Lehman Sisters' would be laughable, were laughter not so inappropriate to the harsh economic reality of many women's lives.
As head of the IMF, Lagarde commissioned a 'gender economics' report on Women, Work and the Economy which was published in September 2013 to much celebrity fanfare. On the surface, the report would appear to be helpful in documenting many glaring iniquities world-wide. The emphasis of the report, however, is on what women can do for the economy rather than on what the economy can do for women; an emphasis apparent in the report's subtitle: Macroeconomic Gains from Gender Equity. Clearly, as the report argues, denying women fair and equal access to all areas of the labour market is an enormous waste of talent. But again, the inequities built into the system go unaddressed - indeed, it is telling how difficult the economic establishment finds it to acknowledge in plain terms what is, in effect, a widespread denial of socio-economic human rights to over half the world's population.
Identity Politics and Dualistic Thinking
There is an uncomfortable sense of deja-vu around the whole question of gender inequality in business - not least because a crass kind of dualistic thinking has re-emerged on all sides of the debate that is reminiscent of some flawed aspects of identity politics of the '80s and '90s. Lagarde's 'Lehman Sisters' comment invited discussion of the role of women in business in terms of inclusion and representation - and it unearthed a lot of tedious gender stereotyping, of men as well as women (men are strong / women are weak, men are reckless / women are careful and so on), in discussions about whether women might have particular skills to bring to the table. But, however 'controversial' Lagarde may have been in making a favourable comparison of female behaviour to male, she was advocating nothing more radical or far-reaching than a call for greater numbers of women to hold positions of corporate power. In other words - as with the authors of the report highlighted above - Lagarde was not challenging the thinking behind our male-dominated corporate power structures, merely seeking access to that power for women.
In its current form, the Western capitalist system itself is the problem, not just who runs it or what gender they happen to be. For the system not only came close to destroying itself in financial terms in 2008, in simply the latest and most critical in a number of global postwar financial crises from the OPEC oil crisis of the seventies to Japan's asset price bubble of 1986 onwards and 1987's Black Monday, but it has also become increasingly dysfunctional at a cultural level. Whilst lip-service is paid to the supposed mobility of the free-market, in reality, the system is designed in such a way that profit comes at the expense of social equality; for example, workers in developing nations are forced to endure horrendous working conditions and pitiful wages to satisfy insatiable western consumerist demands - which are in turn created and recreated in endless, ever-growing cycles by corporate marketing.
Indeed, the structure and behaviour of corporations and financial markets has long been revealed to run counter to democratic ideals and basic principles of socio-economic justice, which, even in the relatively rich UK, creates social hierarchies every bit as rigid and pernicious as the class system we are told is disappearing through such cosy-sounding propaganda as Tony Blair's 'we are all middle-class now' (from which the current-day myth that 'we are all in it together' stems directly). Any debate about gender in business and employment which fails to take account of such fundamental, systemic iniquity is bound to remain piecemeal and skewed in favour of the interests of the most affluent who are, in turn, bound to remain, for the most part, male - wherever they happen to be in the world.
The very urgency of the renewed debate on gender is testimony to the failure of previous feminist campaigns in business - which may well have changed some attitudes towards women for the better, and opened some doors for educated women of the 'right' background in the process, but which have been unable to effect systemic reform; not just resulting in the continued exclusion of huge swathes of women and working-class and ethnic minority people of all genders from positions of power, but shoring up the very system of class, race and gender privilege which, in 2008, came close to scuppering our economy entirely .
Identity Branding
Naomi Klein is one commentator who might urge us not to miss the economic wood for the trees yet again. As long ago as 1999, in her hard-hitting de-construction of corporate culture No Logo, Klein argued against the alternative grain when she suggested that an obsession with identity politics prevented activists of the late '80s and '90s from noticing the ingress of a far greater threat to freedom and equality: identity branding. She contested that activists lost sight of the bigger economic picture as they fought over the inclusion of women, gay people and ethnic minorities - however vital such inclusion was then and remains today. But activists simply did not notice when powerful corporations, already switched on to the youth marketing goldmine of 'cool', began actively to appropriate the new focus on 'diversity' as a marketing tool (those infamous Benetton ads appearing to challenge racial stereotypes, for example - and continuing today, as Guinness exploits issues around disability in a Christmas advert for tv).
Klein argued that a corporate coup d'etat took place in which companies successfully exploited global markets in new ways by means of cynical appeals to oppressed groups, utilising the very language of social activism - Nike, for example, promoting sports shoes as objects of female and black freedom and status. In Klein's words: 'identity politics weren't fighting the system, or even subverting it. When it came to the vast new industry of corporate branding, they were feeding it.' Ironically, it only serves to reinforce Klein's point to note that, on 18 November 2013, BBC Radio 4's Women's Hour hosted a discussion on whether 'feminism needs re-branding' in the face of a perceived 'negative image' – the very question being as depressing a sign as one could point to of the wholesale swallowing of corporate thinking and terminology.
Interestingly, the new wave of identity politics (in reactionary and progressive forms) began to crest in the early 2010s, both amidst claims of a '90s cultural revival and just as brand-worship became ubiquitous on every social level despite rising unemployment, the outstripping of wages by inflation and increasing socio-economic division. Moreover, this coincided with the adoption of punitive austerity programmes by governments everywhere, as public spending was slashed in moves which targeted women and other vulnerable citizens. But, in the UK at least, the government has yet to encounter real - or at least effective - opposition, as the working class and women across the board have effectively been bamboozled and divided by poisonous, scapegoating rhetoric about unemployed 'scroungers' and immigrants who are somehow allegedly managing to steal both our jobs and our welfare at the same time. The irony is that working class identity is now being dismantled just as certain forms of identity politics have found renewed favour. In the mainstream media, to be working class has effectively been reduced to a 'lifestyle choice' - that is, when it is not being lampooned or paraded as sub-human 'chav' - rather than being acknowledged as an expression of proudly legitimate cultural heritage. And everywhere, consumerist ideals prevail.
Yet again, a growing focus on an identity politics motivated to a large degree by middle-class self-interest is playing into the hands of the most powerful economic players, whose activities are continuing regardless. Against an ugly backdrop of a turn to the political right, the UK middle-classes indulge in heated debates about everything from Scandinavian-style boardroom quotas for women to new trends in oxymoronic Tory feminism as the Conservative party desperately tries to stop the haemorrhage of its hard-hit female support base. But the toxic legacies of Thatcherite financial deregulation and profit-worship with which we are still faced - a legacy only enhanced by the corporate wet dream of Blair's 'New Labour' and neo-liberal 'Third Way' - serve as an ironic reminder that greater involvement by women at management level hardly guarantees greater long-term economic stability. Nor does it ensure financial justice for those women and men in the west and the developing world who are paying the highest price for an increasingly sociopathic western capitalism which is quickly spreading around the world. Seen from this perspective, speculation about whether women might, for instance, be more or less prone than men to indulge in risky business ventures, is not only based on banal gender stereotype, but would ultimately appear to be beside the point.
The Need for Substantive Reform
As the reality and consequences of economic collapse continue to hit home, substantive, not just symbolic, reform remains urgent. Whilst gender battles in business are undoubtedly crucial, they can equally be used as a convenient red herring to distract from the wider, more fundamental need to effect deep, systemic reform in the way capitalist structures operate - just as, for example, the increased entry of women into the labour market can be used as a means of dividing the working class further as male workers are encouraged to feel threatened by women's greater independence and fiscal freedom.
Of course, some form of identity politics need not be incompatible with a deeper focus on economic reform – indeed, the two need to go hand-in-hand. But the point is that much of the current debate continues to focus on short-term sticking plasters such as positive discrimination; a not-so-subtle social-engineering measure which may help to kickstart practical changes in the short term (at least in recalcitrant areas of employment practice, say), but which, in the long-term, merely offers the same kind of narrow dualistic thinking which epitomises the system as it stands - albeit from the 'opposite' pole. Such measures will hardly in themselves effect the necessary fundamental change in our financial systems or business culture; indeed, the debate needs to take conscious account of the continued failures and otherwise ad-hoc benefits of such concepts as 'trickle-down', with the unwarranted faith in market success eventually to provide social and economic progress for all.
If we truly aspire to notions of democracy and freedom, then ways must be found to establish real principles of equal opportunity and equal access at the heart of our socio-economic system, not merely as desperate add-ons in an attempt to find some kind of panacea to financial and social disaster. Indeed, the very term 'free market' is Orwellian doublethink in an economic system which is so lacking in basic principles of democratic freedom and equal rights - even as Boris Johnson has described with breathtaking arrogance what he and his City cronies believe, that dog-eat-dog and unfettered greed are somehow acceptable hallmarks of a so-called advanced economy. If we are to counter this view, and the untold damage it continues to wreak, we need to be willing as a society not just to tackle the behaviour of powerful corporations, individuals and financial institutions - such as the banks - that are currently still attempting to recover the system wholly in their own interests, but to take a good, hard look at our monetary values and to undertake a cultural reassessment of how we define ourselves as women and men within the wider financial landscape. We need urgently to decide what roles we choose to accept as gendered individuals within a financial system that so plainly affects not just our own but the material and cultural well-being of other women, men and children across the globe.

As expected, CBS saw the college football record broken for an online/mobile audience during Saturday's LSU-Alabama showdown. Over 200,000 watched the game via the website and CBS Sports Mobile, which considering that the network was seeing numbers "hovering just under six figures" means they more than doubled their greatest online audience. The number is significant because the reason why we don't see more big games streaming online is the fear that the online audience will steal ratings from TV. Advertisers pay for TV ratings, and a loss of audience means loss of money for future events, but that obviously didn't happen because CBS saw their second-highest rated program on TV since 1987.
214,560 Is A College Football Streaming Record
CBS says 171,658 unique streams came from the website alone, and 42,912 came from mobile devices. Apparently, their overall record remains pretty safe. They got 1,153,981 online viewers for an NCAA basketball tournament game between Florida and BYU last year, and you have to think a lot of those March Madness games hover around that figure because people can stream the game from work in many cases. That was the first official game of the 2010 NCAA Tournament, playing a little after noon ET on a Thursday, when many people are stuck at work, and the game went to double overtime.
The LSU-Alabama game happened on Saturday night, so there was less of a reason for people to catch the game online. So getting over 200,000 is amazing, and I hope that the fact that since CBS saw their second-largest Nielsen rating (11.9/21) since 1989, we might be able to get streams of other large events in the future where the online audience will clearly not hurt the overall TV number. You know, like the Super Bowl. I know a lot of people who have had to work on Sunday nights and miss that game. That's all I'm saying.
