Personal injury is a sudden deterioration of the human body, which leads to incapacity due to an accident suffered at workplace. By 'accident' occupational diseases, occupational poisoning and, in exceptional cases, common diseases are meant. In turn, the repetition of accidents associated with the production, falls under industrial injuries classification.
Mentioned below are the most common accident characteristics:
- Depending on the number of individuals, the accident can be single or group
- Depending on severity: light, heavy and lethal;
- Depending on the circumstances the accidents can be: associated with the production, not associated with the production, but work-related, and home accidents.
In case of personal injury the head of the sector where the accident happened, must do the following:
- Take measures to organise first aid to the victim and initiate hospitalisation if necessary
- Take the necessary measures to prevent the recurrence of such accidents
- Immediately report of the incident to the head of the enterprise and the trade union committee;
- Together with the senior inspector of public protection and safety engineer investigate the accident carefully
- Draw up a statement about the accident and send it to the head of the company, who approves the act and attests both copies. One copy is given to the victim, and the second one (along with the materials of the investigation) is stored in the archives of the enterprise.
Mentioned further is the list of accidents that typically fall under personal injury classification: injury resulting from bodily injury to other persons; acute poisoning; heat stroke; frostbite; fatigue; electric shock, lightning, radiation; insect bites; injuries caused by animals; damage resulting from explosions, accidents, destruction of buildings and structures, natural disasters and other emergencies, entailing the need to assign the employee to another position, or lead to temporary or permanent disability.
Accident analysis methods
With regard to the analysis of injuries, to a large extent they depend on the thoroughness of accident registration acts, which is particularly important as for description of the accident. The purpose of the analysis is to develop a corrective action and contribute to prevention of accidents. In carrying out this type of analysis monographic, topographical and statistical methods are taken advantage of.
Monographic method provides a comprehensive analysis of the causes of accidents in the workplace. In this study the organization and working conditions, equipment, inventory and tools are evaluated; this method demonstrates an increased efficiency in conjunction with a statistical analysis.
Topographical method allows you to figure out the most frequent areas where injuries were suffered: in this case the accident areas are marked and analyzed. As a result, more attention to the improvement of working conditions on those workplaces is paid.
The statistical method is based on the study of quantitative data reports. It utilises mainly the coefficients of frequency and severity of injuries.
Taking action
If an individual suffered an accident, he or she is likely to be authorised for accident claims submission. The current legislation allows an individual to get a compensation for a broad range of accidents: be it whiplash claims or emotional distress. Before take any actions you better find trusted law expert as you can do on big databases like Solicitors.Guru website, where also you can learn more of info concerning no win no fee issue aspects.

CUP publishes book on Erich Fromm's influences and achievements
|Erich Fromm
Erich Fromm was a political activist, psychologist, psychoanalyst, philosopher, and one of the most important intellectuals of the twentieth century. Known for his theories of personality and political insight, Fromm dissected the sadomasochistic appeal of brutal dictators while also eloquently championing love—which, he insisted, was nothing if it did not involve joyful contact with others and humanity at large. Admired all over the world, Fromm continues to inspire with his message of universal brotherhood and quest for lasting peace.
The first systematic study of Fromm's influences and achievements, this biography revisits the thinker's most important works, especially Escape from Freedom and The Art of Loving, which conveyed important and complex ideas to millions of readers. The volume recounts Fromm's political activism as a founder and major funder of Amnesty International, the National Committee for a Sane Nuclear Policy, and other peace groups. Consulting rare archival materials across the globe, Lawrence J. Friedman reveals Fromm's support for anti-Stalinist democratic movements in Central and Eastern Europe and his efforts to revitalize American democracy. For the first time, readers learn about Fromm's direct contact with high officials in the American government on matters of war and peace while accessing a deeper understanding of his conceptual differences with Freud, his rapport with Neo-Freudians like Karen Horney and Harry Stack Sullivan, and his association with innovative artists, public intellectuals, and world leaders. Friedman elucidates Fromm's key intellectual contributions, especially his innovative concept of "social character," in which social institutions and practices shape the inner psyche, and he clarifies Fromm's conception of love as an acquired skill. Taking full stock of the thinker's historical and global accomplishments, Friedman portrays a man of immense authenticity and spirituality who made life in the twentieth century more humane than it might have been.

Dame Monica Mason is to appear on BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs on Sunday 8 January at 11.15am. In keeping with the iconic format Kirsty Young's castaway will pick eight pieces of music, a luxury and a book (in addition to the complete works of Shakespeare and a religious text).
The programme was first broadcast in 1948 and shows going back to 1988 were recently made available to download, including Sir Antonio Pappano's selection from 2004.
Retiring this year as Director of The Royal Ballet (to be succeeded by Kevin O'Hare), Dame Monica has been in the position since 2002 following a successful career as a dancer with the company. She joined in 1956, becoming a Principal Artist in 1968. During her career she created a number of roles for choreographers such as Kenneth MacMillan and Frederick Ashton including the role of The Chosen Maiden in The Rite of Spring.
Dame Monica has a close association with our Pointe Shoe Appeal, which aims to raise funds for the most vital tools of the dancers' profession. Each year the company spends £250,000 on shoes and we gratefully acknowledge the generosity of the hundreds of people who contribute to the Pointe Shoes Appeal.
The episode of Desert Island Discs will be available to listen to online as well as via radio and will also be available to catch up on via BBC iPlayer.

Eats & Treats Café opened this month at 204 Weaverville Highway. The menu focuses mostly on diner-style staples: biscuits, eggs, sandwiches, wraps, burgers, hot dogs and fries, plus Hershey's ice cream, milkshakes and sundaes. Most menu items cost less than $5. The restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner Monday through Saturday and breakfast and lunch on Sundays.
Baja Café, 72 Weaverville Highway, closed this week after a year in business. The owners, Walter Fogg and Celest Andrus, left a sign on the door saying they have "officially retired." The partners owned another branch of the Baja Café in Boca Raton, Fla., which they sold a couple of months ago, according to a staff member there.

CHARLOTTE � The city and the region were ready. So were the white towel-waving fans at a charged-up Bank of America Stadium.
And, for a half, so were the Carolina Panthers.
But after dominating much of the opening half, the Panthers seemed to unravel after an instant replay review went against them � and it was the San Francisco 49ers who punched their ticket for next week�s NFC title game in Seattle.
The 49ers advanced to their third straight NFC championship game by surviving an emotional Bank of America Stadium and perhaps a Panthers team that was too emotional in Sunday�s 23-10 victory in the NFC semifinals.
�It was a terrible end to a great season,� said Panthers quarterback Cam Newton, whose 31-yard touchdown pass to Steve Smith in the second quarter gave Carolina a 7-6 lead. �We were amped and ready to play great football. And that didn�t happen today.�
Newton and the Panthers had surprised many by even being in the playoffs after starting the season 0-2 and 1-3. But coach Ron Rivera�s team won 11 of its last 12 games to take the NFC South Division title, earn the No. 2 overall playoff seeding and a home semifinal game against San Francisco.
But once San Francisco was able to survive Sunday�s early emotion and momentum from the Panthers and their postseason-record crowd of 73,784, the 49ers took charge in the second half.
Not only did the 49ers hold Carolina scoreless, they played keep-away. In addition to scoring 10 points, San Francisco had possession for 16:40 of the final 30 minutes.
�We just, offensively, didn�t put enough plays together to win the football game,� Newton said.
San Francisco used the Panthers� emotions to score on its first two drives before Carolina appeared to seize the game�s momentum.
The 49ers racked up five first downs on drives that ended in Phil Dawson field goals of 49 and 33 yards, respectively, with three of them coming on Panthers� penalties.
Carolina responded to the second 3-pointer � which came six plays after Newton was picked off for the first of two times in the game � by driving 65 yards to 49ers 1.
But San Francisco turned away Carolina on third- and fourth-down short-yardage plunges by Mike Tolbert and Newton, respectively.
The Panthers� defense forced a three-and-out before Ted Ginn Jr.�s 24-yard punt had Carolina back in business at the 49ers 31.
On the first play after the long punt return, Newton found Smith in single coverage for a touchdown pass that had the crowd as vocal as at any time in the 18-year-old stadium�s history. Smith, who had been out since spraining his left knee three weeks ago, returned to catch four of the five balls throw his way for 74 yards and the touchdown.
After forcing another punt four plays later, Carolina again drove to the 49ers 1.
But Newton�s second-down scramble was stopped short of the goal. And after Tolbert lost a yard on third-and-goal, the Panthers took three points on Graham Gano�s 24-yard field goal for a 10-6 lead.
It would be the last time the Panthers would score.
�You definitely look at those plays as difference-makers,� Carolina offensive tackle Jordan Gross said. �You�re not going to lose the game because of that. But when you look back on it, you realize how many points you left out there.�
The real back-breaker came just before halftime, though.
With Carolina up 10-6 with 3:41 left in the opening half, San Francisco drove 80 yards in 12 plays to take a lead it would never relinquish five seconds before halftime.
What was eventually ruled a one-yard Colin Kaepernick -to-Vernon Davis TD pass was originally called an incomplete pass. Officials at first ruled Davis hadn�t gotten both feet in bounds in the back right corner of the end zone. But an instant replay review overturned the call � and the 49ers had the lead for good.
�It was deflating,� Panthers cornerback Captain Munnerlyn said of heading into halftime down 13-10 after outgaining San Francisco 195-139 in the opening half. �We played pretty good but not well enough.�
In many ways, two reasons for the Panthers� undoing were what many felt would be their weaknesses when the season started � offensive line and defensive secondary.
The inability to score on four running plays from the 49ers 1 on two possessions in the opening half set the tone for Panthers� offensive struggles and made Carolina one-dimensional. And Newton was sacked five times, including back-to-back plays late in the third quarter to stop a promising drive that had gotten as far as the San Francisco 29.
On the other side, Colin Kaepernick picked apart the Panthers� defense for 21 total first downs, converting six times on third down. Perhaps more damaging, Carolina penalties resulted in five more first downs.
In Carolina�s 10-9 victory at San Francisco in Week 10, the 49ers were a mere two for 10 in third-down conversions.
�Some bad things happened out there,� Rivera said. �You wish we would have kept our composure out there a little bit, but one thing we don�t want is to be pushed around.
�At the same time, you have to learn and understand. ... (I�m) a little disappointed, obviously, in what happened and how it came out, but that is part of learning and growing and becoming a better football team. We will learn from this.�

Big player in a small city
University of Virginia gives Charlottesville the benefits of a much larger town
- July 1, 2010
- |
One wit recently characterized Charlottesville as a mill town where the University of Virginia just happens to be the mill.
His point was spot on. Like a big factory in a small town, the university is the city's dominant employer, with a work force of more than 20,000 serving a student population of almost 25,000.
Without the university, located technically in Albemarle County but really bordering the city's downtown, Charlottesville would be a quaint, sleepy place.
"If the university wasn't in Charlottesville, Charlottesville wouldn't be Charlottesville," says Michael Harvey, president of the Thomas Jefferson Partnership for Economic Development. "It has a whole lot to do with the quality of our amenities … with our vibrant downtown, our arts and culture."
Because of the university, Charlottesville enjoys benefits more commonly found in a big city. It has a well-educated work force, 40 percent of which works in education or health care. Its historic setting and laid-back sophistication make the city attractive to business owners and celebrities alike. But Charlottesville's popularity also has resulted in traffic congestion and high housing costs, which are encouraging middle-class flight to surrounding counties.
Mayor Dave Norris says the influence of U.Va. on his city is immense. "The vibrancy and vitality that it brings here … the impact of its intelligence component, financial component and cultural component here is incredible," he says. "And there's also a tremendous economic ripple effect," he says.
NIITEK is one wave in that ripple. The company, which builds land-mine detection equipment, established a new production plant in Charlottesville's University Research Park almost two years ago. Juan Navarro, the company's executive vice president and general manager, says the company was drawn by the university and the city's strategic location. "It allows us to pull from Richmond, and it's located right there at U.S. 29 and Interstate 64. It's a perfect location," he says.
"The quality of life in Charlottesville is phenomenal," Navarro adds. So is NIITEK's business. The company, which has more than 125 workers, is planning to expand. "It's a great business to be in because we're saving lives," he says.
NIITEK engineers work closely with U.Va. faculty members, especially in the area of electronics. Charlottesville also has a large number of engineers and scientists. "We wanted access to that talent pool," says Navarro. "It's a perfect fit."
That deep pool of educated workers also has attracted what Tim Hulbert calls a new industry in Charlottesville — intelligence gathering. "Our nation has determined enemies, and we need to know who they are and what they're doing," says Hulbert, president of the Charlottesville Regional Chamber of Commerce. "The ongoing need for intelligence gathering is growing."
A lot of that growth is taking place at Rivanna Station, a new business park in northern Albemarle. The park now has the National Ground Intelligence Center — whose mission includes gathering information on terrorists — and the Joint Use Intelligence Analysis Facility. That facility soon will transfer about 800 jobs from Northern Virginia with average annual salaries of $80,000. The federal intelligence agencies will employ about 2,000 people in the region. "That's a ton of money that will create more business opportunities," Hulbert says. "It would not surprise me if we didn't see several thousand more job opportunities here in that area over the next several years."
The Charlottesville area also boasts an extensive health-care community, largely because of the growing U.Va. medical complex. The five-story, 150,000-square-foot Emily Couric Clinical Cancer Center is expected to be completed next year. Also, U.Va.'s Children's Hospital plans to build a 200,000-square-foot, seven-story facility, which will offer outpatient and rehabilitative care by 2013.
In addition to the U.Va. facilities, Charlottesville's Martha Jefferson Hospital plans to move to a new facility on Pantops Mountain in 2012. "We have the best health care in the world," says Hulbert.
Charlottesville also has entertainment and cultural attractions that typically would be found in much larger cities. It is the site of the annual Virginia Film Festival, which drew 19,000 visitors last year. In addition, well-known entertainers such as singer Mary Chapin Carpenter make frequent appearances at the downtown Paramount Theatre, a once-crumbling movie palace that has been transformed into an elegant venue for plays, music and national acts. Also, the John Paul Jones Arena, the home of U.Va. basketball, features acts ranging from Jimmy Buffet to monster trucks. Returning soon to the arena will be Dave Matthews, the band leader who started his musical career in Charlottesville.
Famous people also come to Charlottesville to tour Thomas Jefferson's home, Monticello. Dan Jordan, the former head of the foundation managing Monticello, says he and his wife conducted tours for 38 heads of state in 24 years. The list includes every American president from Jimmy Carter to George W. Bush. Others on the list are former Soviet Union President Mikhail Gorbachev, former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, and the emperor and empress of Japan.
Besides heads of state, dozens of Hollywood stars visited Monticello as did Civil Rights Movement icons such as Jesse Jackson, Rosa Parks and Andrew Young. Jordan's favorite celebrities were author Eudora Welty and rocker Mick Jagger, who was "gracious, totally engaged and truly knew his Jefferson."
While many famous people visit Charlottesville, some live in the area year-round. Academy Award-winning actress Sissy Spacek serves as spokeswoman for the local SPCA. Best-selling author John Grisham can be spotted occasionally on the red-brick downtown pedestrian mall, which features more than 30 restaurants and 120 shops. "It's just a really interesting place to live," says Harvey. "It's a small town but also like a big city. It really is kind of a sweet spot here."
But the city's many attractive features also have created problems. Traffic congestion in Charlottesville and on U.S. 29 North is a constant headache. Squabbling over road-building in the area has reached almost comic proportions. A north-south bypass, on the drawing board for 30 years, appears dead in the water from lack of money and political will. One of three portions of Meadowcreek Parkway is under construction, but progress is threatened by potential lawsuits. Critics say the road, which would connect downtown to northern Albemarle, will ruin a city park.
In addition to traffic problems, the cost of living in Charlottesville is notoriously high. Many nurses, firefighters and police have retreated to the outlying counties, where housing costs are lower. The median price for a house in Albemarle County in the first quarter of this year was $285,000, while the median price in Charlottesville was $248,000, according to the Charlottesville Area Association of Realtors. By comparison, the median cost of a house in Fluvanna County in the first three months of this year was $205,000 and in Nelson County, $219,000. In Fluvanna, almost 60 percent of the county's work force commute to jobs outside the county, most of them in Charlottesville.
Charlottesville is trying to promote affordable housing by offering incentives — such as streamlined regulations and higher density — to developers who build less expensive homes. "We're adjusting a social problem in a business-friendly way," says Norris.
In addition to creating affordable housing, the city is trying to attract more middle-class jobs that don't require college degrees. "We're hemorrhaging the middle class," says Norris. "My big focus is how to attract more skilled-trade kinds of businesses like light industry or light manufacturing."
Norris points to Piedmont Virginia Community College's Division of Workforce Services and its newly renovated Stultz Center for Business and Career Development. It's one place where new skills, such as carpentry, can be learned.
Meanwhile, the city is gearing up to celebrate the 250th anniversary of its founding. In 1762, the city was formed as an outpost between Richmond and Staunton along what was then known as Three Notch'd Road. The city has set aside $50,000 for the 2012 celebration, which will include yet-to-be-determined new tourism initiatives.
The celebration could bring a welcome boost to the local economy. Like everywhere else, the city and Albemarle still are recovering from the recession. That situation has made the localities more creative and business friendly, says Hulbert. "There's a new tenor because of the economy," he said. "Charlottesville is insulated but not immune. I think a lot of public officials saw we're not immune and need to embrace business."

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'boar' tag.
Thanks to some nice weather, we finally got all of the pigs up to the new land. Its been a long time coming. 5 months of wintertime kept us away. They loaded on the trailer in less that 5 minutes. They unloaded well. The only hiccup was that we had to make a chute out of 1 strand of electric wire (not electrified) which ran 400′ and around a corner to their new paddock. They moved fairly well however, one section was damp and they decided to have a brief wallow before walking the last 100′ to their home. I was stuck pushing Charles (the young old spot) up the hill as he was taking his time and rooting and wallowing the whole way. It was suprisingly un-stressful and it went quite smoothly. They are now all settled in and loving it.
While watching them appreciate their new abode, I was able to get a few pictures of everyone. I have a wonderful video of Newton (the red pig which is a tamworth boar) walking up to Ian and looking at him then laying down. Newtown loves a good scratch on his belly and every time he sees Ian he knows he either gets food or a scratch. If Ian doesn't have a bucket Newton knows that means the scratching will commence so Newton gets ready by laying down. If I can figure out whats up with the problem attaching video I'll put it up sometime.
Most likely due to the nice weather, this weekend was the first time the piglets came out of their huts. It is also the weekend when we got all of the piglets that we have castrated. The castration on this batch seemed harder. I'm thinking it was because the boys were stronger. It is, however, amazing how quickly they get up an go after being castrated. I think if I were a male and I had my testicles taken out, I would be so uncomfortable I wouldn't be moving for a couple of days. They mustn't have felt that way because they were out wandering around within an hour. The first hour was spent in the hut probably afraid to come out again for fear of what they would lose this time.
In addition to moving the pigs, we also got the some of the goats up to the new land as well. They seemed settled in and are liking all of the browse.
Moving the housing for all of the animals proved to be difficult as the trailers that we have do not fit some of the housing that we had built prior to getting the new land. We ended up having to use the handy, but very redneck looking truck cap housing for the boars. The goats got the A-frame since the large goat house would not fit onto anything. This means we have a wonderfully large dog house that we need to revamp.
In other good news, we found why we have a nasty wet section in one of the fields. There is an old dug spring at the bottom of the hill. I plan to check the rate of flow this week to get an idea if it will be worthwhile working on it to use for livetock water. I'm thinking it will be worthwhile by the looks of things.
We also got the chance to start some plowing. We got an older john deer 3 bottom plow from the spring consignment auction last year. It works very well but now we need more implements.
The only nasty thing to happen this weekend was when one of my goats sucked my finger into her mouth and then bit it. It happened so quickly I didn't even get a chance to react. it hurt like heck but its better now. It just feels like I whomped it with a hammer.

With nearly 5,000 structures to our credit since 1981, we are the Northeast leader in the building industry. And we continue to lead in pioneering new and innovative construction techniques, excellence in quality control, and building green.
We know it's not just your building that matters. That's why we promise the best building and the best experience. Our in-house design team will effectively match your budget, space, and aesthetic requirements. Our project managers will partner with you to determine your best design options, and our construction managers will insure schedules are kept and budgets are met.
Our staff brings a diverse expertise in commercial, equestrian, residential, and agricultural construction.

Our expert crews also provide repair and renovation services to restore and improve any structure. We currently serve the Northeast U.S. region from Vermont down through northern Virginia.
Consider the Difference
Pole buildings often suffer from a discounted, cookie-cutter design, resulting in a cheap temporary building. Not ours. Architectural shingle roofing, stone veneer and wainscoting, distinctive dormers, and decorative cupolas are only some of the customizations that make our buildings distinctive. We offer a variety of styles and materials to make your building special. In addition to more attractive structures, we build on permanent, steel reinforced concrete foundation posts (Permacolumns®). Others don't. While theirs' rot in the ground and depreciate, a Kistler building will appreciate in value over time. And our annual inspections and lifetime workmanship warranty are unmatched in the industry.

Vegas has the Knicks at 20/1 odds to win this years NBA championship. This line puts them 7th in line to win it all. Here are the top 10 lines:
Miami 9/4
LA Lakers 5/1
Chicago 7/1
Dallas 17/2
Boston 12/1
Knicks 20/1
Orlando 22/1
San Antonio/ Memphis 25/1
Portland 30/1
I think this is about right. Obviously these are premature in that free agency has not occurred yet. I never put too much into these lines but for all the gamblers out there I think this is a pretty fair line. The Knicks definitely are flawed but with 2 superstars you never ever know. Especially in the league that saw LeBron James upset year after year in the playoffs and the league that saw the last lockout Knicks overcome the 8th seed and win the eastern conference.Follow @tarmosino

Developing an Inclusive and Supportive Campus Climate
Institutional Equity and Compliance provides key leadership to the campus community in the development of an inclusive and supportive campus climate. Equity and Compliance serves as the civil rights office of the campus and reports directly to the Chancellor and the head of the office is a member of the Chancellor's Administrative Team, actively participating in the governance of the institution.
The jurisdiction of the office includes oversight and support in meeting many of the federal and state regulatory mandates of the campus. However, our resources are also directed to working with the campus community to go beyond the minimum legal requirement to make the University of Nebraska-Lincoln a better place where individuals have the opportunity to reach their potential.
Institutional Equity and Compliance provides many services to the campus. We provide educational seminars on the search process, the Americans with Disabilities Act, non-discrimination and a variety of diversity topics. The office has developed a set of documents to support the search process that demonstrates our efforts and procedures to conduct fair and equitable searches.
Individuals with disabilities that are employed by the institution are assisted with reasonable accommodations that enable them to perform their job responsibilities. The Accommodation Resource Center is part of Equity and Compliance and provides assistance with adaptive technology to enhance the productivity of individuals on campus.
Pursuant to regulations from the U.S. Department of Labor, Equity and Compliance generates the campus affirmative action plans for women, minorities, veterans and individuals with disabilities. The office is also responsible for providing institutional responses to external complaints and audits by governmental agencies.
The office investigates allegations of illegal discrimination and harassment. The process involves a neutral assessment of the underlying actions followed by a fair assessment of the situation with suggestions and recommendations for a resolution of the conflict. The focus of these internal investigations is to help facilitate an outcome that will enable individuals to experience an environment where they have an opportunity for success.

Blake Shelton, "Based On A True Story" (Warner Bros.)
The more Blake Shelton rises in stature, the more he parades his swaggering, mischievous personality. His high-profile role as a judge on NBC's "The Voice" has provided a platform for the entertainingly outspoken side of this tall, drawling country boy from Oklahoma. Now Shelton is creating music as brash as he is, fully integrating his colorful character into his songs.
Before a career resurgence that included landing as a coach on "The Voice," Shelton spent years struggling to establish a consistent presence on the country music charts, never creating a recognizable style of his own. "Based On A True Story" reveals how much has changed.
The album opens with a hip-hop treatment of the word "redneck," traversing Shelton's cross-interests in the rural and the urban, before blasting into the guitar-driven "Boys 'Round Here," about back-country folk who rock out in the cabs of their pickups. The tune sets the tone for Shelton's focus on boisterous country rock and emotional ballads that show off his expressive vocals. The Country Music Association entertainer of the year rises to his newfound superstar status with a lighthearted but rollicking album that pushes boundaries in all the right places.

"I regard [this discovery] very much as a godsend and a gift which has been given to me in order for me just to share it with other people"
Re-reading one of C.S. Lewis' poems one night in 2003 as he was nearing the end of his ordination training, British scholar Michael Ward had an epiphany: He had just discovered a clue to understanding The Chronicles of Narnia that had remained hidden for more than 50 years. Ward recently spoke with Catholic Digest about his discovery, which he wrote about in Planet Narnia, a scholarly work released this year by Oxford University Press.
CD: You've been teaching and studying C.S. Lewis' work for more than a decade. What initially sparked your interest in Narnia, and what has held your interest for such a long time?
WARD: I initially got into Lewis and Narnia the same way that most people do, I suspect — by having the books read to me as a child. My parents would read chapters aloud to me and my two brothers each Saturday or Sunday morning. And then I read them again for myself and then got into Lewis's other fiction and his Christian apologetics, and then I did my English degree at Oxford and started reading his academic books. So it's been a long process of steadily deepening my familiarity with his work and his way of thinking.
CD: How have the Chronicles have influenced your faith as a Christian both before and after your discovery?
WARD: Before the discovery, I loved the books for their presentation of a world in which faith was part and parcel of the whole experience. The Christianity embedded in the stories wasn't just a compartment of the experience of the children: It kind of comprised their whole world. It was a little bit like heaven, because our whole experience (there) will be one of worship.
What the Narnia books have done for me has been a little bit like a scientific breakthrough or a religious revelation. The world that you thought you understood on one level suddenly turns out to have been created at a wholly higher level. I can sometimes now think that way with respect to the real world: When I see the chaos and conundrums of the real world I can say to myself, This may just be evidence of artistry and creativity and divine purpose on a higher level.
CD: For those who are unfamiliar with your discovery, can you provide a brief summary of the main arguments of your work?
WARD: In essence the thing is this: Lewis, as a medieval scholar, was deeply acquainted with the old view of the Earth as the center surrounded by the seven heavens, each with its own planet, and each planet with its own set of characteristics and qualities and influences. [Lewis] described these planets as spiritual symbols of permanent value. He took these qualities and characteristics of the seven planets and basically turned them into plots (i.e., the plots of the seven Chronicles).
The imagery associated with each planet provides him with the basic narrative arc of each story and countless points of ornamental detail. It also controls the way he portrays the Christ figure (Aslan) in each story. From a theological point of view, this imaginative technique is extremely ingenious and I think unprecedented; I can't think of other writers who have done this.
CD: To illustrate your point about how the novels are coordinated with each of the planets, would you just walk us briefly through say, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe and give a few examples of how this is played out?
WARD: In some ways it's a little bit easier to explain with Prince Caspian because with The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, the Jupiter (Jove) imagery which controls the story is so closely related to the Gospel story. People have thought that the Gospel story was Lewis's imaginative starting point. But when you turn to Prince Caspian, Aslan's role seems of no obvious connection to episodes in the life of Christ. But if you approach both books from the planetary perspective, both are equally well explained.
[It's in] Prince Caspian, the Mars story, [that] the great War of Deliverance, as it's called in the later book, (takes place,) and Mars is the god of war. The other obvious aspect to Prince Caspian is imagery connected with trees and forests. Mars was originally not the god of war; he was a vegetation deity associated with trees and forests. He was called Mars Silvanis. That's why Lewis puts some silvans (tree spirits) into Prince Caspian; they never again appear in the Narnia books. And Mars was the god of March, when the trees come back to life after winter.
This is a story in which Aslan can wake the trees, though Lucy cannot. It's a story in which Aslan gives that great war cry summoning everyone to the final battle. So he incarnates the Martial spirit that is otherwise spread abroad in the rest of the story. But it's much more detailed than that.
CD: Some Christians, as you yourself have pointed out, may feel a little uncomfortable drawing connections between the pagan gods and the Chronicles. How would you suggest readers approach that?
WARD: One way is by reference to the Bible itself, and especially to Acts 17, where Saint Paul speaks to the men of Athens about Jesus by quoting poems about Zeus, the king of the pagan gods. They believed that human beings were the offspring of Zeus; that it was in Zeus that "we live and move and have our being." These are quotations from pagan poets that Paul uses in order to then say something about Christ. And that's similar to what Lewis is up to using paganism throughout so much of his work. From the similarity between paganism and Christianity, Lewis concluded not "so much the worse of Christianity," but "so much the better for paganism" — that the pagans got a few things right and that shouldn't be ignored. It should put to use for the Gospel.
CD: You first made this connection between the seven planets and the seven books of the Chronicles while you were rereading Lewis's poem "The Planets," particularly the phrase "winter past and guilt forgiven," which applies so clearly to the plot of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. What was your reaction when you began to make this discovery?
WARD: It was amazing. I was lying in bed one night, I think it was Wednesday, and when the penny dropped with respect to The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, it was very easy to see how Jupiter connected with that first story. Well, then my mind began slowly to crank, and I began to think, Well, perhaps the other six planets connect to the other six books. And it was easy to see that they did.
I walked around Cambridge in a dazed state for about two weeks. I don't mind telling you, at one point I even shed a tear because it was so beautiful and artistic and subtle. And also, from my point of view, it was the most tremendous privilege that this discovery should have fallen into my lap when many better minds that mine studied the books for years without happening upon this. But I regard it very much as a godsend and a gift which has been given to me in order for me just to share it with other people, and that's why it's been such a pleasure writing up this discovery and now going around lecturing about it. And seeing other people catch the excitement. People are writing to me saying that they will never read the Narnia Chronicles in the same way again. People have said, "Now I've got an even higher estimation of Lewis' genius as a writer."
CD: It is fun, because you're exploring it on a whole new level. It's always exciting when you're able to do that with a book or a series that has been a beloved part of your childhood.
WARD: It's so delicious and delightful. I don't think anyone in the history of the world has ever enjoyed writing up a PhD as much as I have. It was just an absolute joy from beginning to end. I do really feel that it was my vocation; it was the book I was called to write. CD

Michael Ward meets James Bond
Ward, who occasionally does film extra work, got a rare treat when he was told to hand 007, played by Pierce Brosnan, a pair of X-ray spectacles in The World is Not Enough. "Normally you're in a huge crowd scene and you don't even get to see the actors, let alone interact with them," says Ward. "But I found myself in this scene with 007, Q, and John Cleese. I couldn't believe my good fortune."

Despite cries of financial hardship and decreasing revenues by the major record labels, their profits are actually growing strongly as a result in the boom in online music. Of the 99¢ that stores such as Napster and iTunes Music Store charge for tracks, the labels get up to 87¢ of it. That leaves 8¢ for the publishers and a paltry 4¢ for the stores themselves. The net result is that the labels are increasing their profits while reducing their overhead (which is good business). Downloads require no physical packaging, shipping, or other manufacturing costs for the labels yet bring in more revenues. Bandwidth, marketing, and other costs are absorbed by the store.
While downloads may be profitable for the music stores, four cents on the dollar makes for razor-thin margins. Such economics will eventually lead to a shakeout in the online music industry. Yahoo's acquisition of MusicMatch last week for US$160 million is just a precursor to even greater changes in the online music business. Stores operated or backed by larger companies such as Apple and Microsoft should survive. Others which are solely reliant on revenues generated by music downloads and subscriptions are likely to disappear. Michael Robertson, founder of MP3.com, put it rather bluntly when he said that the online music business is like "a race where the winner gets shot in the head."
Record labels have been quick to jump on the online bandwagon since the rollout and success of iTMS, and it has turned into a cash cow for them. However, if online music outlets start to go under, there is the chance that consumers may become leery of the medium. It is possible the labels could choose to go into online sales themselves, but they would then be absorbing the overhead costs currently borne by the music stores, thus cutting into some of their profits. In addition, they would have to deal with competing DRM formats and media players, a headache they would do well to avoid. If the Big 5 labels truly want to ensure the continued success of the music download market, they will have to let the vendors keep more than 4 percent of the take. Hey, it's still cheaper than printing and shipping CDs.

Collaboration is Hard: How to Work within Conflicting Points of View
"If someone is very abusive, or very aggressive, I always try to think, why is this person so aggressive? And sometimes by even making a joke, or by trying to get more information about the person…you break the ice. And sometimes you have some surprising results"
Boris Dittrich, Advocacy Director for Human Rights Watch, spoke on collaboration at Cisco's San Jose campus recently. He told a story about his time as an openly gay Dutch parliament member:
I was still a member of the national parliament and a leader of my political party. We had created a new government and I was on television every night. So people usually said something when I walked down the street. Usually friendly.
Dittrich then recounted a less friendly encounter he had with a man as he walked from the train station to parliament:
He was following me and shouting,"You faggot! We don't want gays" and things like that. So I thought: How do I deal with this situation? And people are watching. I saw that he had on his t-shirt the name of a soccer team in the Netherlands
So I said "Oh, are you a fan of Ajax? (Amsterdam soccer team.) I am too. Did you see the game?"
He was just flabbergasted, perhaps that I didn't start shouting or whatever and then he said, "Do you like soccer?" [He had an expression] like gay men don't like soccer. And then we started talking about soccer, and he was completely unarmed and he left.
Boris Dittrich and Evan Low, Councilman of Campbell, California, spoke as part of Cisco's LGBT&A (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender & Advocates) Speaker's Series, co-sponsored by the Cisco Asian Affinity Network. The subject: Collaboration is Hard: How to Work within Conflicting Points of View.
Boris Dittrich speaking at "Collaboration is Hard"
Connecting with the other party and striving to understand the other viewpoint were among the collaboration components that Dittrich and Low discussed. Dittrich also mentioned how mastering both the history of an issue and the data can help both parties move beyond an emotion-based argument.
On a personal note, this was the first time that I've attended a Cisco LGBT&A employee resource group event. At the registration booth, black lanyards were provided to general attendees. Yellow lanyards were given to individuals that did not want to be photographed. A special seating area was provided out of video camera range for these individuals.
To be honest, at first, I felt a stab of jealousy. As a female and as an Asian American, it's really obvious what sets me apart. The concept that you could hide your difference was very intriguing to me. Being gay is kind of like being Superman, I thought. Wear glasses and be Clark Kent. Wear a yellow lanyard and no one outside the event will know about this aspect of yourself.
Evan Low touched on it briefly when he said "I'm openly gay, and for those who don't know, I'm openly Asian." Low, the youngest Asian and Gay Mayor in the US in 2009 spoke about conversations he had with voters:
Constituent: Where are you from?
Low: Born and raised in San Jose.
Constituent: What about your parents?
Low: Oakland and Sacramento.
Constituent: What about your grandparents?
Low: San Francisco.
After being stymied with that line of questioning, the real question came out: "Are you more loyal to China or the United States?" So even though Low is a fourth-generation American, he's still seen as a foreigner by virtue of his ethnicity. It's this kind of reaction to visible differences that made the yellow lanyard concept so appealing to me.
Evan Low speaks at "Collaboration is Hard" event
The idea that being gay was a superhero identity faded when I heard more from the speakers. Boris Dittrich noted that of the 192 countries in the world, 85 have criminalized homosexuality. He noted one gay man in Cameroon received a 3 year prison sentence for sending a text message with sexual content to another man.
Even in countries where homosexuality is legal, there is still a LGBT population that remains in the closet. Unfortunately, there is a social and emotional cost in staying hidden.
There's a scene in the film "X-men: First Class" where Erik Lehnsherr (Magneto) finds fellow mutant superhero Mystique working out. She is a shapeshifter and her natural coloring is bright blue. He finds her lifting weights while maintaining a different (more human) appearance. He tells her: '"If you're using half your concentration to look normal, then you're only half paying attention to whatever else you're doing."
There's a cost to sublimating an aspect of yourself. It may not be the ability to turn blue, but if you're busy hiding photos of your family when your coworker comes by, then you're losing time and energy. This isn't limited to the LGBT community. Women are often coached to "act more like men" in order to move ahead at work. Older people remove graduation dates from their resumes and "act younger" to avoid age discrimination. An inclusive environment allows a re-direction of that energy to productive ends—and from a company standpoint to profitable ends!
An open attitude, continuous learning, and personal connection are ways for each of us to contribute to an inclusive world. Hopefully, in the not too distant future, there will be a stack of unused yellow lanyards at these events.
This event was hosted by Cisco and made open to the public. There were 240 attendees (roughly half in person and half on-line). To learn more and view the event recording, click here.
As with all blog posts, this is my opinion and not that of Cisco's.

Excellent recap of the event, Olivia, with wonderful insight, as usual…well done!
Sandy Hoffman
Nicely written and well put. Here! Here!
Very nice post, lots of gems in here!
Times before I used to thought about bringing a revolution where we can make people to absorb the second opinion but very soon I realized that this is not possible they will keep imposing you to agree with what they thought is right and they will always want you to do what they thought is right to do. But I was never really able to cater the situation when I experienced harsh behavior from the people with whom I mere disagree but I guess Boris has shown me a way to handle the situation.

Anyway, the last thing I bought was a pile of manga, including mahoraba vol 12. Oh, and Megami with a very nice, though a bit small, poster with Ayu and Nayuki.
I haven't bought any dvds for a while though... Still need to pick up Ichigo Mashimaro, but I don't really like buying online, and I fear strange looks if I buy them in a store.

My-HiME vol. 6, Rumbling Hearts vol. 1, Shana vol. 3 and Zipang vol. 3. Plus Megami from store.
Damn, watching Kiminozo episode 2 again and few days later, a certain another ero-game to anime episode with a twist at the end was really depressing.

How often do you have the opportunity to cook a fresh lobster? Lobster meat is low in fat and cholesterol, making it a great choice for health-conscious people. Like other seafood, lobsters are also a good source of omega 3-fatty acids that are essential for the proper functioning of the heart and brain.
If lobsters are boiled, baked, steamed or grilled, they exude fabulous vitamins and minerals.
Here are some ways to use your live Maine lobster. For more information on purchasing your own, call 252-568-4800.
Lobster Wraps with Lemon Mayonnaise
Lemon mayonnaise:
1/4 cup light mayonnaise
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Remaining ingredients:
3/4 cup chopped seeded tomato (about 1 medium)
4 (4-ounce) lobster tails, cooked and chopped
4 (2.8-ounce) whole-wheat flatbreads
8 Bibb lettuce leaves
To prepare lemon mayonnaise, combine 1/4 cup mayonnaise, chives, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper; stir well.
Combine lemon mayonnaise, tomato, and lobster; stir well. Divide the lobster mixture evenly among flatbreads. Top each serving with 2 lettuce leaves. Roll up jellyroll fashion.
Lobster Mac & Cheese
Canola oil cooking spray
1/2 lb. penne (preferably whole wheat or whole wheat blend)
2 cups 1% low fat milk, preferably organic
4 Tbsp. salted butter, divided
1/4 cup flour (I used all-purpose, but any will work)
6 oz. (about 2 cups) grated Gruyere (or Swiss) cheese
4 oz. (about 1 1/4 cup) grated 50% reduced fat sharp cheddar cheese, such as Cabot
1 tsp. kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/2 lb. freshly cooked lobster meat, chopped into 1-inch pieces
2 slices whole wheat sandwich bread, lightly toasted and pulsed in a food processor to form fine crumbs (alternately, you can use 3/4 cup unseasoned breadcrumbs, but fresh is much better!)
Preheat oven to 350�F. Lightly coat an 11 x 7 inch baking dish with canola oil cooking spray. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add in penne and cook until al dente (about 2-3 minutes less than amount of time recommended on the package). Drain.
Meanwhile, heat milk in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until hot but not boiling. Turn off heat.
Melt 3 Tbsp. butter in a large saucepan over low heat. Whisk in flour for 1 minute.
While continuing to whisk, pour in the hot milk and whisk mixture until smooth and thick, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in the grated cheeses, salt, and pepper.
Stir in the drained cooked penne and lobster meat until fully combined. Pour mixture into the prepared baking dish.
Melt the remaining 1 Tbsp. butter in the microwave and stir in the breadcrumbs until moistened. Evenly spread the buttered breadcrumbs over the penne, cheese, and lobster mixture. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Lobster, Avocado and Feta Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette
8 cups torn Boston Bibb lettuce
2 avocadoes, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
4 ounces feta cheese, cubed or crumbled
1/2 cup kalamata olives
1 lb. cooked lobster meat, chopped
1 lemon, juiced
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
Salt and pepper, to taste
Arrange the lettuce on four places. Top with 1/4 of the avocado, red bell pepper, feta cheese and olives. Top each with 1/4 lb. of lobster.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper until emulsified. Drizzle over the salads. Enjoy immediately.
Garlic Lobster Tails
4 large lobster tails (8 ounces each)
4 to 6 large cloves garlic, minced
6 tablespoons butter, cut into bits (you can cut this amount for a healthier version)
1 lemon, juiced
1/2 teaspoon Cajun spice
1/2 teaspoon seafood seasoning, such as Seafood Magic
Preheat broiler. With kitchen shears or large, sharp knife, cut lobster tails down back on curved side of shell. Pry sides of shells apart to expose meat. Top meat with garlic and butter. Squeeze lemon juice over lobster meat and dust liberally with Cajun spice and seafood seasoning. Preheat broiler. Set lobster tails in roasting pan and broil 4 to 6 inches from heat for 12 to 15 minutes, until meat is opaque in center
Crab Stuffed Lobster with Citrus Vinaigrette
1 cup finely chopped leek
1/4 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
1/4 cup fresh corn kernels
1 pound lump crabmeat, shell pieces removed
1 tablespoon low-fat mayonnaise
1 tablespoon whole-grain Dijon mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 large egg white
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
2 teaspoons minced fresh tarragon
5 quarts water
4 (1 1/2-pound) whole Maine lobsters
Cooking spray
1/2 cup coarsely crushed cornflakes
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons whole-grain Dijon mustard
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
To prepare stuffing, cook leek in boiling water 2 minutes. Drain and plunge leek into ice water; drain. Pat dry with a paper towel. Place leek, bell pepper, corn, and crab in a large bowl; toss gently to combine. Combine mayonnaise and next 4 ingredients (through egg white) in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add mayonnaise mixture to crab mixture; toss gently to coat. Gently fold in parsley and tarragon; set aside.
Preheat oven to 375�.
To prepare lobster, bring 5 quarts water to a boil in an 8-quart stockpot; plunge 2 lobsters headfirst, 1 at a time, into water. Return to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 2 minutes. Remove lobsters from pan using tongs; drain well. Repeat procedure with the remaining 2 lobsters. Cool lobsters slightly. Remove claws; place claws on a baking sheet. Cut the lobsters in half lengthwise; clean upper cavity of lobsters, leaving white meat intact.
Arrange lobster halves, cut sides up, on a jellyroll pan coated with cooking spray; spoon 1/2 cup stuffing into cleaned upper cavity of each lobster half. Top stuffing in each lobster half with 1 tablespoon cornflakes, and lightly coat with cooking spray.
Place baking sheet with claws on bottom rack in oven; place jellyroll pan with stuffed lobster halves on upper rack in oven. Bake at 375� for 20 minutes or until lobster halves are done and stuffing is lightly browned. Remove the lobster halves from oven; cover and keep warm. Bake claws an additional 10 minutes or until done. Cool claws slightly; remove meat from cooked claws.
To prepare vinaigrette, combine orange juice and remaining ingredients, stirring with a whisk. Serve vinaigrette with lobster.

First, the venerable Rubik's Cube recreated the masterworks of Da Vinci. Today's example, while not quite as grandiose, is still impressive. Ladies and Gents, the Space Invaders are here.
And Sonic. And Pac-Man. Even President Obama makes an appearance, although I don't think Hope: The Video Game is out just yet.
For reference, artist John Quigley says the Obama one took about 20 hours to complete. That time, since I'm a self-deprecating kind of guy, puts my personal Rubik's Cube record—which will remain undisclosed—to shame. [Technabob via CrunchGear]

MUMBAI (MarketWatch) — Most Asia markets finished higher but off session highs on Thursday, as investors digested a mixed bag of earnings reports.
Japan's Nikkei Stock Average(100000018) finished only fractionally higher.
Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index (HSI) rose 0.8%. However, mainland Chinese stocks were under pressure, with the Shanghai Composite Index (000001) losing 0.1%.
South Korea's Kospi (SEU) rose 0.1%. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 index (XJO) added 0.3% as trading resumed in Sydney after a one-day break.
The performance in Asia followed gains for Wall Street overnight, as investors cheered Apple Inc.'s AAPL, +0.00% earnings — which had driven Asian markets higher Wednesday — and after a relatively neutral Federal Reserve statement. Read more on the U.S. session.
Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said economic growth would pick up gradually, and that the central bank would support the economy with more easing if needed. Read more on the Fed's policy meeting.
"The developments from the [Fed] meeting are consistent with our view that further asset purchases are unlikely and that Operation Twist [shifting purchases to drive down longer-term interest rates] will not be extended beyond June," strategists at Barclays Capital said.
Peter Lai, director at DBS Vickers in Hong Kong, said comments from Bernanke leaving the door open for more stimulus were giving sentiment in Asia "a little boost, but not too much."
Some earnings drag
But gains were pared in many markets amid a mixed batch of earnings.
In Tokyo, Canon Inc. (7751) CAJ, -0.62% dropped 2.2%, after the camera maker reported its quarterly profit rose 11%. Index-heavyweight Fanuc Corp. (6954) FANUF, -0.05% slumped 6.1% after its quarterly results disappointed. Read more on Canon results.
Other Japanese industrial and manufacturing firms also suffered falls. Notably, Kawasaki Heavy Industries Ltd. (7012) fell 3.6%, and Hitachi Construction Machinery Co. (6305) dropped 3.7%.
Losses for another major Nikkei component — Fast Retailing Ltd. (9983) FRCOY, -1.04% — also weighed, with shares losing 1.1%.
Major electronics firms were weaker in Seoul. LG Electronics Inc. LGEIY, +0.00% sunk 5.8% and LG Display Co. LPL, +0.75% down 3.7%.
Still, some earnings offered an upside Thursday, with results helping select shares in Hong Kong. There, "earnings have largely been exceeding expectations," said DBS Vickers' Lai.
Shares in China Life Insurance Co. (2628) LFC, -0.94% added 1.5%, after reporting a 29% drop in net profit, amid expectations for improvement in coming quarters. Read more on China Life's result.
Mobile telecom China Unicom Hong Kong Ltd. CHU, +1.95% (762) jumped 4% after posting a seven-fold gain in first-quarter profit. Read more on Unicom's profit jump.
Tokyo-listed telecom KDDI Corp. (9433) KDDIF, -1.64% rose 1.5% despite posting a drop in profit. Read more on KDDI earnings
And in Seoul, shares in the world's No. 2 DRAM-chip-maker SK Hynix Inc. HXSCL, +0.00% gained 0.6%. The firm reported a swing to a first-quarter loss but said it expects the industry to recover as computer and smartphone growth picks up. Read more on Hynix earnings.
Hong Kong, Sydney gain
Gains for property firms also lent support in Hong Kong. Agile Property Holdings Ltd. (3383) AGPYY, +0.00% jumped 2.8% and China Overseas Land & Investment Ltd. (688) CAOVF, +6.63% added 2%.
Some resource firms advanced in Sydney, with diversified miner Rio Tinto Ltd. (RIO) RIO, -0.83% up 0.9% while energy firm Santos Ltd. (STO) SSLTY put on 1.5%.
Shares in Atlas Iron Ltd. (AGO) rose 0.7% after the miner said it will conduct a study with QR National Ltd. (QRN) QRNNF, +0.77% into a new railway for the resource-rich Pilbara region in Western Australia. QR National shares rose 1.7%. Read more on the possible new Pilbara railway.
On the downside, a profit warning from Seven West Media Ltd. (SWM) WANHF, -27.27% late Tuesday saw shares plunge 22.8%, as investors reacted to the news.

Now in its fifth year, the 2012 New Hampshire High School Short Film Festival is becoming a bigger event.
"We're excited about all the energy that is coming out of the schools about the program," said Matthew Newton, director of the New Hampshire Film and Television Office.
Schools are hopping on board, and the film office is happy and willing to partner with media arts faculty at Granite State high schools. Pinkerton Academy in Derry, for instance, has made the festival part of its media arts curriculum.
"We want to see that more," Newton said.
Submissions are due at the New Hampshire Film and Television Office at 19 Pillsbury St. in Concord by 4 p.m. on March 31. The Festival is open to all students enrolled in grades 9 through 12 at New Hampshire public or private schools. Submissions do not need to be created as part of a school project. The films can be no longer than seven minutes, though most are in the two- to three-minute range. That time frame includes closing credits, Newton said.
So far, the festival has screened more than 100 student-produced short films. For participants, it's a chance to have their film seen by a live audience.
"What's in it for them is a chance to screen your film in front of a public audience," Newton said. "Students are picking up cameras ? they have the ability to make films on their home computers. But a lot of times it doesn't go beyond that — maybe YouTube, but it's not really a public audience. You get to make a submission for a competition and have a room full of people watch yours on the big screen. That's exciting for high school students. It's something I wish I had at their age."
A panel of film industry professionals will review all submissions and select films for the Festival itself, on June 16, at New Hampshire Technical Institute's Sweeney Hall Auditorium in Concord at noon. Judges measure films on storytelling technique and overall quality. "Pretty much anything goes," Newton said.
Winning films will be screened on New Hampshire Day and Night at the New Hampshire Film Festival in Portsmouth in October and the Somewhat North of Boston Film Festival in Concord in November. Visit www.nhstudentfilm.com.
"It's a chance to screen your film and to talk to people afterward," Newton said. "Conversations come up, people come up to filmmakers and say, 'I really liked your film,' or they might have some critical comments. That's what we're trying to do, connect more professionals with them, to talk to students, maybe to provide some more feedback."
Along with this year's screenings, Newton said he's hoping to have a collection of the best films from the last five years on display. He's hoping to be able to take that collection of films on the road this summer.
The festival is growing in popularity and in quality.
"I've seen students take their film work a little more seriously," Newton said. Starting out, many of the films were the types of things people might find on YouTube. "They were little skits and sketches," Newton said. "But now, filmmakers are coming around and they're seeing what works for them as filmmakers. They're starting to make stronger films."
Newton does see repeat participants and he notices those who take part in the festival multiple times make stronger films each time.
"For filmmakers who entered in the freshman or sophomore years, now they're in their junior or senior years and we've sort of seen them evolve," Newton said. "And those are the kids we want to keep in New Hampshire and New England working in production. We want to show them that film production is happening right here in their backyards. This is a way to start up."
A couple of past participants are still in the area, having graduated high school, still working on short films, Newton said.
"It's a good bunch of filmmakers," Newton said.
With more and more participants, the screening of the submitted films got a little too long — about three hours long. Organizers are paring the screening down to two hours, Newton said.
"It will make for a more competitive selection process," Newton said, adding the highest-ranked films will make it into the screening. "That sort of naturally created a higher level of competition. It's tough, though; they're all great projects. It'll be a nice, compact festival screening for a couple hours."

Members of the New Zealand dairy co-op can lock in a milk price for up to 75% of their milk supply.
Source: Fonterra
Fonterra, the New Zealand-based dairy giant, is piloting a new "Guaranteed Milk Price" (GMP) scheme that will provide farmers with the opportunity to have more certainty in their milk price.
The pilot will mean farmers can choose to lock in a milk price announced at the beginning of a season for up to 75 per cent of their milk supply.
Fonterra's Managing Director of Group Optimisation and Supply Chain, Ian Palliser says the past few years have confirmed that volatility in commodity prices is here to stay.
"We recognise that every farming business is different," says Palliser. "And while most farmers can live with the market volatility, there are times when some farmers would prefer more certainty as it would help them manage their own farming businesses.
"Certainty can be particularly important for farmers at times when they are considering investing in new equipment, expanding or undertaking a new conversion," he adds. "It's a bit like having a fixed interest rate on your mortgage versus a floating rate. It enables you to know exactly where you stand with a percentage of your production and this can help with future planning."
As well as providing farmers with the certainty they are looking for, GMP also has benefits for the co-op, says Palliser. "That's because we know what a certain proportion of our milk will cost us for the season and this in turn provides us with another selling tool when talking to our customers, some of whom are also looking for price certainty," he says.
Fonterra will run the pilot for the 2013/2014 season with interested farmers who will have a proportion of their production set at the opening milk price, which will be announced in May.
Like converting from a fixed to floating interest rate on a mortgage, there will be a break fee for any farmer who decides to revert back to the normal milk price system during the season.
Palliser says that the pilot would ideally involve around 200 farmers throughout the country, at different stages of their farm operations and with varying herd sizes.
"We will monitor the pilot over the next season and provide feedback to all shareholders on the benefits and the risks," Palliser says, "and this way farmers can see if it is something that might suit them in the future."

BRISBANE, Australia, Jan. 5 (UPI) -- Lleyton Hewitt used a fast start Sunday to stun world No. 6 Roger Federer and earn his first ATP title since 2010 in the finals of the Brisbane International.
Hewitt, who had beaten Federer just once in 17 ATP meetings since 2002, came away a 6-1, 4-6, 6-3 winner Sunday in claiming the tournament in his home country. It was the 29th ATP championship for Hewitt, who collected his first exactly 16 years ago at Adelaide, Australia.
His most recent tournament win before Sunday was in 2010 in Halle, Germany, when he beat Federer 3-6, 7-6 (7-4), 6-4 in the final.
Federer entered the Sunday final without having his serve broken in his first three matches in Brisbane but Hewitt posted three first-set breaks and didn't face a break point in taking the lead.
Federer had the only break of the second set to even the match and Hewitt went ahead in the third set with a fourth-game break and held out from there -- saving seven break points -- for the win.
"I played great obviously at the start, really well," Hewitt said. "It took Roger a little bit of time to get into the match. Then I just had to fight hard at the start of the third set."
Hewitt won $82,040 along with the title, pushing his career winnings past the $20 million mark. Federer picked up $43,210 to add to his ATP-record winnings of nearly $79.3 million.

By William H. Teschek, Assistant Director

Pop quiz. What do Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford have in common? How about Tennessee Williams and Mark Twain? Samuel Adams and Daniel Webster? Easy you say? Let's try some tougher ones. James Dean and Louis L'Amour, Millard Fillmore and L.L. Bean. Did you have some trouble with those two? How about this pair -- Winston Churchill and yours truly?
By now I'm sure you're quite lost. Here's the answer. All of the individuals listed above have one thing in common. In each case they had one or more ancestors who were among the earliest settlers of Hampton. A few more famous individuals who share this lineage are authors Laura Ingalls Wilder and W. Rodman Philbrick. Herbert Henry Dow of Dow Chemical Company fame and former Secretary of State Lewis Cass also can trace their ancestry to Hampton. Then there is William Moulton Marston, who was the creator of the systolic blood pressure test, which lead to the creation of the polygraph (lie detector). Later in life he invented the comic book character "Wonder Woman".
In some cases these people are even distant cousins. Samuel Adams, James Dean, Richard Nixon and yours truly are related through the Perkins family. Dean and Nixon are also related through the Hussey family. Mark Twain and Gerald Ford are cousins through the Gove family, and Churchill, W. Rodman Philbrick, and Lewis Cass are descended from the Philbricks. Laura Ingalls Wilder descends from the Locke and Knowles families. Dean, Nixon, Ford, L.L. Bean, Louis L'Amour and Daniel Webster are all descended from Hampton's founder the Rev. Stephen Bachiler. Bachiler has so many descendants that I sometimes wonder whether or not there are many Americans left who DON'T descend from him (even though I don't myself).
Hampton's descendents have surely spread to every state in the nation, and probably every country in the developed world, if not most of the undeveloped ones as well. Printed genealogies detailing all of their descendants would probably fill a library the size of ours. To view the Hampton ancestries of most of these famous people, as well as the genealogies of all of the old families of Hampton, go to our Hampton genealogy database on the Web at http://www.hampton.lib.nh.us/genealog. Included are over 20,000 individuals taken from Dow's History of Hampton and a number of other sources on local genealogy. This database is continually maintained and updated by volunteer Dick Marston of Glendale, California, himself a Hampton descendant many times over. He has a website of his own called "Marston Manor" on which he has a "Famous Cousins" room that talks more about the famous people listed above. Marston Manor can be reached at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~dickmarston/.
There's something new at the library. Audiobooks on CD-ROM. Now that more new cars are being outfitted with CD player than with cassette players it has become necessary to carry audiobooks in both formats. Our collection currently stands at 29 titles, and these can be found on the circular rack opposite the circulation desk on the copy machine side. They can be checked out for two weeks like books, but can't be renewed. For a complete listing check our OPAC and do a subject search for "Compact disc books". And of course we have hundreds of audiobooks on cassette. Our OPAC is available on the web at http://www2.hampton.lib.nh.us:8080
