«During our morning coffee, we were pondering on the big questions in life: Which beach should we choose today? It feels like the sun is always shining in Sandefjord, and life is just one long summers day. Later that day we went on a bike ride out to the sandy beach, Tallakshavn at Østerøya.»
Why travel to the south? Strandvika at Østerøya.
Skjellvika is one of Østfold´s best family beaches.
The many rocky shores, beaches and sheltered bays offers great possibilities for recreation. Sandefjord has a total of 116 islands and islets. The motive comes from the group of islands, Stauper, which is out in the Tønsberg Fjord between Sandefjord and Tjøme.
The island of Natholmen, or Knattholmen (a newer name that many use) is a small coastal paradise in Sandefjord. This place is idyllic, with only one road that winds between white and red wooden houses. A beautiful bridge in a nice coastal environment will lead you to the main land and to the island. Natholmen is to many a hidden and secret treasure - yes, even many of the residents in Sanefjord have never been here!
The island is relatively small, but you´ll find two bathing spots and forrest trails + the beautiful archipelago that surrounds the island. And it is not hard to find your wait to Natholmen. There are parking spots right next to the bridge that leads to the island, and there is a bus (route 163) that goes from Sandefjord that´ll take you to the same parking lot. There are 9 km between Sandefjord center and Natholmen, and this route is great for biking, if you like to use bicycles as your way of transport.
Midtåsen used to be the home of the famous shipowner Anders Jahre, and his wife Bess Jahre. The house was built in 1933 by Arnstein Arneberg. Today, Sandefjord county is responsible for maintaining the park area.
The house is surrounded by a 60 acres park which makes up the perfect place for outdoors events in summertime. You have a great view of the city and fjord from the garden.
Delicate tables are set to any event with 1800s candelabra and flowers of your own choice.
Indoors out in the nature. Midtåsen sculpture pavilion and park in Sandefjord makes up the frame of a selection from the artist Knut Steen´s sculptures in marble and bronze. Twelve marble sculptures is places within the pavillion, and four bronze sculptures are placed in the landscape outdoors.
The pavilion is made of light concrete, and the art is surrounded by exposed light concrete in both the walls and floor. A fancy roof construction of glass beams and glass plates let the sunlight in.
Sandefjord is a city and a county within Vestfold. The center of Sandefjord lies by the Sandefjordsfjord. Together with the half islands of Østerøya and Vesterøya, the county has a coast line of 146 km, which together with this beaches, and the cabin and camping tourists makes Sandefjord to a summer city.
The Whaleingship «Southern Actor» is a floating museum.
You get a nice view when almost a thousand boats meets at the Sandefjordsfjord at midsummer´s eve.

The beach pearl of Vesterøya. The Langeby beach is one of Sandefjor´s most popular beaches. A long, shallow beach, 150 meters long. Many nice facilities at the Langeby beach like stores, toilets and a shower at the camping ground. A sand volleyball court, footbal court, and playground. You can easily spot the beach, as it is right next to the main road, to the right when you´re driving across Vesterøya.
The sea mark, Tønsberg barrel.

Sandefjord, the summer city.
Sandefjord by night. Summertime in the whaling city is full of life and activities both day and night.
The summer city of Sandefjord lies by the edge of the Sandefjordsfjord. Sandefjord is a city of maritime and culture traditions. Sandefjord has a lot to offer to those interested in history, culture, outdoor activities and those who love the good life. The vikings left important traces here. Some great international people has visited the city´s spas, and the whalers had their golden age. The former whaling city can offer its own whaling museum and a bustling summer life.
The Whaling Monument in Sandefjord.
The golden water drops will remind you of sputtering, running gold, and is a symbol of Sandefjord´s growth and prosperity throughout the city´s whaling history.
Sandefjord is the city that comes to life in summer. The otherwise calm and quiet city comes to life when all the vacationers come to enjoy the long awaited summer days here. A big selection of shops and nice clubs, combines by rocky shores, many outdoor areas and long, shallow beaches, makes this places to a popular destination. We will give you a list of the things Sandefjord has to offer today, and what it once was.
Sandefjord has a lot to offer for those interested in history, culture, the outdoors, and for those who like the good life.
Sandefjord by Sea
Sandefjord is a maritime city with many traditions. Today, the Sandefjordsfjord is the main road for those visiting Sandefjord by boat. The pair of long, characteristic half islands east of the city center, the islands of Vesterøya and Østerøya, used to be two islands. In that way, the vikings could go straight from the place Sandefjord is located today and out to the Tønsbergfjord without having to sail the long way around the southern part of Østerøys, Holteskjær and Tønsberg Barrel. They removed the inner path of water in the 1600s.
Vestfold´s most populated county is a nice harbor to visit by boat, both if you´re planning on staying on one of the islets, or if you´re visiting the city. By the seafront, below the Rika Park Hotel, there is a great harbor for smaller boats with marked guest spaces. You can easily walk from the seafront to the city. The green and shallow waterpark is the nearest neighbor of the seafront, a natural place to wander through before you get to the more urban part of Sandefjord with all kinds of shops and eateries both inside and outside. You´ll find great restaurants both in the city and down by the dock. What about ending the night with a delicious whale beef dinner at one of the restaurants, or visiting the world champion in cooking, Geir Skeie´s restaurant in the inner dock, Harbor 11. From the harbor area, you´ll have a great view of the beautiful fjord, and you´ll often see the two competing ferry company´s ferries that goes from Strømstad to Sweden. Both of the companies has daily departures from Sandefjord.
Outdoor Paradise
For those interested in the outdoors, Sandefjord´s natural area is a paradise, and you don´t have to travel far from the city center to get to the beautiful nature. Sandefjord is lucky in that they have three close hills and outdoor areas like Preståsen, Mokollen and Virikskogen surrounding the city. Several parks close to the city center melts the green with the harmonic city life. In geographical sizing, Sandefjord is a relatively small county, but it has a great archipelago where the three fjords, the Sandefjordsfjord, the Mefjord and the Tønsbergfjord makes 146 kilometers of coastline.
In 2009, Sandefjord county was elected the outdoors county of the year in Norway. The award was given because of the long-term work in trying to save and show cultural memories and outdoor areas for the city´s population and visitors. The city has registered 2800 cultural memories that are accessible for everyone.
Tønsberg Barrel
The southern tip of Østerøya in Sandefjord is the best of the archipelago in Vestfold. Yxney is today used as the name of the outermost part of Østerøya. The area consists of a natural reserve and Tønsberg Barrel. The Tønsberg Barrel is a beacon that you easily see when entering the Tønsbergfjord. As a beacon, this is a very old one, most likely the country´s oldest. This old beacon was mentioned as early as in the Sverre saga from the 1200s. The beacon may have been a barrel on a pole back then. The beacon has been replaced by a large stone painted black and white.
The waters outside of the Tønsberg Barrel are tough, even when there is not much wind. Many ships have gone down here, the last one in 1960 (the transport vessel Bjørgvin). The German transport vessel, Völkenburg, sunk in 1944. These two ships are very well preserved 20 meters under the surface.
If you use the parking lot by the beach in Trubervika, it is about a 30 minute walk out to the Barrel. The last bit of the walk up to the viewpoint is pretty rough, but with a little bit of patience, you´ll make it. You´ll pass two nice beaches on the way there. We recommend visiting in fall or spring, as the insects can be annoying during the mid summer. There are traces from the Second World War in the area, and they are well preserved. It is beautiful with all the flowers in spring time.
On the cape where the Tønsberg Barrel there is a barrack built into a ravine, and four observation/machine gun positions built into the mountain rocks. The fairway next to the Barrel was controlled from here. There are three machine gun positions built into the steep mountain, these were used as «swallow´s nests». A gorge goes across with a bridge above it, and down in the gorge is a soldier barrack. On the side of the mountain to the west are steps carved into the wall to help the soldiers easier get to their lookout point. From this post, you can see the open sea, the Vesterøya to the right, and Torås/The World´s End to the left. This post covered the inlet between Tjøme and the mainland. This probably was an important listening and observation post, as it is located far up and on its own. It is also very hard to get there, as there are steep gorges around the cape. In the mountain side to the west, there are stairs of steel inserter into the wall. Steady shoes and some courage is needed to get to this post. If you visit a calm summers day, or a stormy day in fall, you´ll get an amazing experience and a view from one of the German posts.
Idyllic White painted wooden houses
The streets of Bjerggat and Thaulowsgata is located in the old part of Sandefjord city. A short trip to this place is recommended. Only a few minutes walk from the center will lead you to white painted wooden houses from the beginning of the 1800s. The quiet and idyllic area is one of Sandefjord´s best preserved residential areas.
A popular health spa
There was not as much happening in Sandefjord before the place was made a health spa. There was some timber floating down from Kodal to the land, but much of the inner part of the fjord was uninhabited. But in 1837, dr. Heinrich A. Thaulow established a health spa. He had lived in the city since 1833. Short after, he discovered a sulfuric source that was used in the treatment. He also introduced the use of jellyfish. The so called thaulowsky method was a combination cure that led to the spas growth in popularity.
Even though being in the spa was a social thing, the spa was a medical institution that treated rheumatic disorders as its main focus. The cures included sulfur water by the sulfur well every morning.
Both the royal family, prime minister and cultural personalities came to visit the spa. It was still swampy in the area, and to get from the great Swiss villa to the buildings with the small pools, you had to walk across bars to get across the swamp. Pavillions for music was built in several places to entertain the people crossing the bars on the way to their refreshment. It is believed that about 50.000 people visited the spa between 1837 to 1939. The majority of the guests were Norwegians, but Danes, Swedes, Germans, Brits, Americans, and Russians also visited. They organized direct boats from Germany past Sweden that ended up in the fjord. The spa´s reputation made the whole district a popular destination.
Rich whaling history
Already in 1850, a good amount of ships were conducting sealing and whaling in the Arctic Ocean and the coast of Finnmark. But this was a a small business; the Norwegian whaling in the north was more than employment for the people living on the west coast. But, in 1905, the pelagic whaling began; Chr. Christensen sent the first whaling expedition from Sandefjord to the Southern Ocean. In the years between 1905 and 1914, 25 whaling companies was founded in Sandefjord. The city experienced a great upturn in its economy. By the end of the 1920s, Sandefjord had a fleet of 15 factories and 90 whaling ships. When the industry was on its peak in the 1950s, the harbor was a busy place during the summer when the whole fleet was home. In addition to mechanical workshops and production companies, the whole business community earned well form the returned whalers. Over 2800 men were hired in the whaling industry in 1954.
From mid 1950, the whaling industry was down-titrated. The whale occurrences at the Antarctic had dramatically decreased, and the conservation interests grew. A gradual transition to tankers suggested that even the industry itself knew that the whaling fairytale was coming to an end. During the 1960s the amount of expiditions to the south decreased, and the season of 1967/68 was the last for Sandefjord.
Today, the memory of this important period for the city´s history is kept alive through the whaling museum and the restored whaling ship, the «Southern Actor» at the museum´s dock.
Whaling boat museum
The whaling ship «Souther Actor» was build in 1950 by Smith´s Ltd. in Middlesbrough in England. It was used for whaling in the Southern Ocean until 1962, then it was used along the Norwegian coast and in Spain. Until 1962, it was used for whaling in the Antarctic Ocean, and then it was used for fishing along the Norwegian coast and in Spain. In 1989, the boat was discovered when it was dismantled in northern Spain, and quick action led to the old whale boat later being bought for Sandefjord later that year. By getting "Southern Actor," Sandefjord got a whaling ship to use aspects a living museum and a tourist attraction. Thanks to grants and donations, not to mention close to 80,000 of voluteer hours conducted by former whalers, the old whaling boat with a lookout tower was excellently restored. "Southern Actor" is now part of the Whaling Museum, and it is located on a private pier museum in Sandefjord Harbour. The boat represents of the type of whale boats that were built mostly between 1945-55 and Sandefjord has been given a unique opportunity to convey important aspects of Vestfold whaling culture. "Southern Actor» is a museum and a whaling veterans iact as a crew that like to talk about "life on board." There are guided tours of the boat in the summer. If you would like to arrange a boat trip, you can rent the boat by appointment.
Midtåsen Mansion
On a hill overlooking the bay is Midtåsen Mansion in Sandefjord. This was the home of shipowner Anders Jahre and his wife Bess Jahre for many years until he died in 1982. Widow Bess continued to live there until her death in summer 2006. After her death, the property was purchased by Sandefjord, Vestfold County and The Anders Jahre Humanitarian foundation through Midtåsen AS.
The main house of 1,200 square meters was designed by renowned architect Arnstein Arneberg in 1933. The house was finished by the end of the 1950s, after more additions. The architecture can be characterized as subdued functionalism. The house is on a hill along a terraced axis against Sandefjord. On the back of the house, you´ll ´find a stair system with sculptures, ancient oak trees and beautiful plants. The gardens comprise nearly 60 acres of parkland and beautiful scenery, and are open to the public. A unique venue for summer events. The main building and the park are protected.
The house has been renovated and preserved as it was when the couple Anders and Bess Jahre lived there, except for the kitchen which are refurbished in modern style. The house oozes quality. The rooms are relatively small, as Jahre wanted a homely house. The Jahre offices is still kept just as it was in its day, and perhaps the most famous part of the property. It is said that he burned accounting papers in the fireplace here to withhold them from the IRS. The most impressing room at Midtåsen is Arneberg Hall, which was finished in 1960. It has held celebrity dinners, among other known people such as the Swedish tenor Jussi Björling singer, as well as Norwegian and Swedish royalty. Large tapestries from the early 1700s adorn the walls. These are so old that they cannot be dismantled and cleaned. The trailer also has a number of paintings of Anders Jahre itself, as well as art that the couple collected through time. Glass paintings tell personal stories and wallpapers are specially designed. The beautiful old porcelain in the dining room is still being used. The suites in the house is designed in different colors. Including a room on the first floor called "the Onassis Suite". The room was named after Aristotle Onassis who stayed there. In the basement you can still smell the cigar and the old port wine. The vault is also where it was originally, but now it is empty of any valuables. Part of the house is currently furnished as conference facilities, and buildings to be used for both reception rooms, seminars and concerts.
In June 2009 Knut Steen opened the pavilion and sculpture park on Midtåsen. Here you´ll find 16 of the artist's works together. Twelve marble sculptures found inside the pavilion, while four bronze sculptures are placed around the landscape.
Wonderful midsummer celebration
Midsummer-evening´s largest and finest boat processions. Flowers and bonfires. Waves, friends, wine and barbecue. Such evenings are pure luxury for the soul. Few places celebrate Midsummer better than the people of Sandefjord. When night hours ebb away at dawn and the preceding hours seem like a magical dream, Sandefjorders can not go to bed safe in the knowledge that the Sandefjord public holidays are coming.
The unique Midsummer celebration in Sandefjord Midsummer Day, 24 June, was a general public holiday until 1771. Until recently, June 24th holiday has still been celebrated in some Norwegian municipalities, but now it is just Sandefjord, who cling to tradition. Larvik discontinued it as vestfold´s phenomenon 11 years ago. Since then, most municipalities in Vestfold done as Larvik, and, three years ago, Tønsberg remained closed for the last time. So now Sandefjord Municipality is the only municipality in the country where the offices are closed and employees have a free day.
Midsummer Eve. Midsummer celebration is particularly strong in Sandefjord. June 24th is the city's birthday. Boat processions from the anniversary year 1994 on the city's 150th birthday, were recorded in the Guinness Book of Records. Being free after Midsummer's Eve, the people of Sandfjord celebrate Midsummer on islets and rocks until late in the bright night hours. No wonder that there has been a baby boom around March 24 in the years after the war...
A long-standing tradition in Sandefjord has been the spectacular boat processions starting in Sandefjord's inner harbor which sail the entire Sandefjord fjord. Almost a thousand boats sail through the fjord. Here you can see all kinds of boats, from great cruisers to self-composed contraptions. Boats are decorated with flags, flowers and birch branches with the green leaves that are quite characteristic of this time period in the late spring. If you do not have the opportunity to experience the parade of boats from the gunwale, we recommend to watch it from
Thorøya, which is along the west side of the bay (Highway 303 towards Larvik). After Granholm watches the parade, boaters continue the party in their boats or make ashore on a beach or islet. On campgrounds and several public beaches in the archipelago, people like to grill and light a fire. In some places it is also pier dance that lasts into the wee hours.
Culture and summer show
Sandefjord´s dense cultural program during the summer offers concerts on several stages, three movie theaters, theater, cabaret, shows and dancing. There are many and varied facilities, ranging from theater and shows in backyards to summer shows at the Park Hotel. The Fjord festival has been held in the water park in the middle
August and every year it attracts many famous and beloved performers. It feels like the entire city's population is in concert at the same time. A cultural institution, Sandefjord Jazz, organizes concerts and Jazz Café throughout the year, roughly every 14 days. Definitely worth a visit.

Reach (EFE) .- The City of Alcanar must compensate with 1,068,769.03 euros to the developer Turov , who built the 32 illegal apartments in the urbanization Serramar , now in the process of demolition, before January 1. This has been determined by the Contentious Chamber of the Superior Court of Justice of Catalonia (TSJC) in a ruling handed down on October 13 and notified to the parties on October 26, to which Efe has had access.
This amount corresponds to the damages claimed by the promoter for the 8 apartments that he did not sell to third parties, after the nullity, decreed in 2006, of the planning license -Turov had come to claim up to 6.7 million to the City Council -.
The ruling of the TSJC considers that "the so dysfunctional and unlawful administrative action has been clearly harmful and effectively producing real and effective damages." He adds: "We can say that the houses are still in reality, but what must be taken into account is that they are called to be, as soon as possible, demolished and eliminated from that reality."
The judgment does not admit appeal for cassation before the Supreme Court, so it is firm and considers that the compensation for damages should be paid to the promoter "within 2 months" from the receipt of the communication of the sentence.
Taking into account that it was communicated on October 26, the deadline would end on December 27. Otherwise, the legal interest shall be paid plus 2 points.
"The biggest handicap"
At a press conference, and accompanied by his entire government team, the mayor, Alfons Montserrat (ERC), acknowledged the seriousness of the situation. "It is the biggest handicap Alcanar City Council has had and will probably have in a long time, which will not only mortgage this mandate, but also the next years of the immediate future of our people," he lamented.
Foreseeing possible claims, the consistory made an early repayment of credit for a value of 1.2 million euros, which "can give a certain room for maneuver to face this future that we have before", according to the mayor. However, Montserrat has stated that they are currently studying loan modifications or some type of loan.
As indicated, the municipal investments planned for this 2015 are not in danger, but has acknowledged that this compensation to Turov will "condition" in 2016.
More claims
Everything indicates that the compensation for damages that the City Council will pay Turov is only the beginning of a trickle of property claims to which the City must respond in the coming years.
Although Turov SL was the first to initiate the procedure, at this moment there is already a resource from one of the owners to the administrative dispute in Tarragona. And, administratively, prior to the judicial claim, the City has already received a fortnight of claims from the rest of the owners of the 24 apartments sold.
"It is not about calling bad weather, but it is not bold to think that in a more or less immediate future we can have a faster or slower trickle of claims", Montserrat has admitted.
As for the demolition process, the City Council has already tendered the project, now in the drafting phase, and hopes to have it finished in order to begin the bidding process of the work.

One Florida police officer felt the need for speed earlier this year.
Jalopnik, the automotive website, posted the hair-raising video of a Florida Highway Patrol officer giving chase to a speeding car and hitting 142 mph on the speedometer.
The unidentified officer, after weaving in and out of traffic at 119 mph, casually says, "Don't try this at home, kids."
The video shows the police officer catching up to the Toyota RAV 4. He first spotted the car going in the opposite direction and makes a U-turn over the center median. The report estimated that the speeder was traveling about 20 mph over the speed limit.
The report said that the fire likely started after pulling over the driver. The "underside of his cruiser's engine, which is nice and toasty from its 140 mph run," made contact with the dry grass.
Highway patrol did not immediately respond to an email from Fox News early Thursday.

Running around Portland
I spent the last few days in Portland and I could not be happier. I was hoping for some clouds and fog, but like usual there was sun. Every time I visit the Pacific Northwest I bring the sun with me. I just can't seem to escape it! What did not disappoint though was the incredible fall colors. Most trees were rocking their fall shades in varying colors of orange and yellow making this California girl ecstatic.
We woke up bright and early last Thursday morning and left California for Oregon before the sun rose at 4:45 am. We ambitiously decided to drive all the way to medford rather than the planned stop in Sacramento making for a long day of driving. Normally, I stop in Northern California, but after doing the bulk of the driving the first day, I will definitely do the drive like this again.
After spending the night in Medford, we made our way up to Portland much earlier than expected since we did most of the driving the previous day. We spent the next few days running around town, completing my first corn maze, spending time in Powell's, visiting Halloweentown, eating ramen, driving to Mt. Hood, wandering around the rose garden, exploring Pioneer Square, and more.
Yet again, this trip reminded me of how I truly have one foot in California and the other in Oregon.

Implicit Disparagement Implicated by Unfair Competition/
Burgett, Inc. v. Am. Zurich Ins. Co., 830 F. Supp. 2d 953 (E.D. Cal. 2011)
Coverage for explicit disparagement was implicated by the false advertising claims in light of prior authority including E.piphany, Inc. v. St. Paul Fire & Marine Ins. Co., 590 F. Supp. 2d 1244, 1252-1253, N.D. Cal., 2008 [litigated by G&A]. The court found that because Burgett represented to Samick [claimant] it was the only holder of the SOHMER trademark, potential coverage for implied disparagement arose. "Persis alleges that Plaintiff made false representations that harmed Persis 'by implying to the marketplace that Burgett had the superior right to use the SOHMER trademark,' and thus, by implication, represented that Persis did not have the rights to the SOHMER trademark." Id. at 962. The trademark exclusion was of no moment because "while the underlying complaint does not explicitly state a claim of disparagement, the Court finds that the complaint could be amended to state a claim for the same. Thus, the trademark exclusion does not apply to bar coverage." Id. at 964.)

January Column
by Ron Marinucci, Jan. 1, 2011
January Column
"The unexamined life is not worth living." So said
Socrates more than 2400 years ago. Or, at least Plato said he did.
Maybe the Greek philosopher was a bit extreme in his assessment, but runners can profit from a little self-examination of their own. And what better time to do that than the month of January?
I know I've written this before, but it's a good excuse to throw in a little history. January is named after Janus, the Roman god of doors and gates. Janus had two faces looking in opposite directions, one backward and the other forward.
January is a time we leave the old year and go through the gate/door to the next one. It's this time we can utilize the two faces Janus. We can look backward, assessing 2010, and also look forward to the future, 2011.
My running buddy Michael Holmes always closes out each calendar year by giving himself and his running a letter grade: A-, B, or whatever. His grade is based on a number of criteria—his training, races, and even injuries (or lack of them) and downtime. I don't go quite that route, but it's fun to look back at the running memories and, at the same time, look ahead to new running adventures. And Michael has already mapped out some races, a couple of new ones included, and our training for them.
2010 was an interesting year. Looking into my training log, I am a bit surprised that I ran a few more miles this year than last, almost a week's worth. And, on the bike, I put in almost twice the distance. This year was one of experiment for me. I tried biking before running to try to improve my endurance and, therefore, my racing times. The idea was I'd help my cardio-vascular fitness, but with less pounding on my feet and legs. I haven't yet figured out if it worked or if I'll try it again this year, but I enjoyed it.
The year brought a little snow, but not as much, it seems, as in recent years. "Windy" appears an awful lot in my entries, especially in the later months of the fall and winter. July, particularly, the whole month, is noted by "humid!" days. On the 17th of that month, I wrote, "most humid ever!" in describing the Bastille Day 15K.
I ran 10 races, about average for the past dozen years or so. But five of them came in a span of eight weeks in the fall. The Halloween Run Thru Hell stands out, but I remember each race, although none of my times. I ran, I think, my 19th Crim and 21st Big Bird races, but not close to Darrell McKee's string of running every one of both of those events. The West Bloomfield Rock & Road is memorable for its wonderful post-race feast of Coneys, pita wraps, and Greek salad! I laced up my running shoes in seven states in 2010, maybe a new PR for me in that regard.
Some of the highlights of the year came not from running, but reading books about it. I enjoyed Born to Run by Christopher McDougall, which re-ignited interest in barefoot or minimalist running. John Parker's sequel to Once a Runner, titled Again to Carthage, was especially good, one of my favorites of about 50 books I read this year.
I was fortunate to meet and write about a number of interesting people and their causes and activities. They were reminders of how generous, caring, and passionate runners are.
Of course, Janus is always looking forward, too. Although I don't make any New Year's resolutions, I am anticipating a good running 2011. My race calendars haven't yet arrived, but I enjoy plotting out a schedule of potential races, both old favorites and new adventures. I won't run them all, for a variety of reason, but it's fun to do it anyway. Perhaps, when the schedule is done, I'll plan a mini-vacation, traveling around the state focused on races I'd like to do a bit away from home.
Just as I experimented with biking in my running training in 2010, I'll try some new stuff this year, too. This might finally be the time I get those snowshoes for running. I've been thinking about that for several years, but it also took a few years before I got on the bike. The barefoot running is still intriguing and, when the weather gets warmer, well, maybe….
Grandson Cody is just about ready for the jogger. And maybe I can convince his big brother Michael to accompany me to a race or two—the Pizza Challenge in Flint might be one to entice him! Even Ashley, with all of her energy, might be old enough for some kiddie runs.
There was a lot to like about 2010 and I'm looking forward to an equally enjoyable and productive 2011.
I wish all of you a Happy New Year of running.

US warns against N Korea 'provocation'
The United States has urged China to press North Korea's new leader to exercise restraint, saying that South Korea would face "enormous pressure" to respond to any provocations.world Updated: Jan 20, 2012 08:16 IST
The United States has urged China to press North Korea's new leader to exercise restraint, saying that South Korea would face "enormous pressure" to respond to any provocations.
Kurt Campbell, the top US diplomat on Asia, admitted on Friday that little was known about North Korea's young supremo Kim Jong-Un and warned that "provocative steps have the risk of triggering deeply unforeseen consequences."
"We need to handle the situation with the greatest care and we expect China in their deliberations with North Korea to ensure that that message is deeply understood," Campbell said at the Stimson Center think-tank, echoing remarks made on a tour of East Asia earlier this month.
North Korea in 2010 shelled an island in the South and was accused of torpedoing a warship, incidents that killed 50 people and which some analysts saw as a way for young heir Kim to prove his mettle.
Campbell, an assistant secretary of state, said that South Korean President Lee Myung-Bak, a close US ally, showed "remarkable restraint" after the deaths.
"But their leaders have made clear that they've reached a point that if they faced further provocations, they would have enormous pressure to respond. And we understand that," Campbell said.
China is the closest ally of isolated North Korea, although Campbell said that even officials in Beijing were in the dark about Kim Jong-Il's December 17 death until North Korean state television announced the news two days later.
Kim's death threw into flux US plans for fresh diplomacy with North Korea, including a possible resumption of American food assistance to the impoverished state and more formal talks on ending Pyongyang's nuclear program.

Guest post by Peter B. Wylie
(This is a reprint of a paper previously published on the CASE website. Click here to download as a .pdf file: PAUPER_111306. — KMD)
You're right. I cheated a little. I chose this title to grab your attention. (Actually I "borrowed" it from an old travel book about Paris.) However … even though you and the school you work for are not impoverished, your budget for electronic wealth screenings may not be as big as you'd like. If that's the case, I want to offer some thoughts on how you can do a pretty good job of identifying major giving prospects – ones that may not be on your development officers' radar screens – without doing an electronic screening.
I wrote this piece to build on another article I did several years ago ("Where the Alumni Money Is"). In that one I showed that the lion's share of any school's alumni donations come from the oldest 25% of alums who are not listed as 'single' or 'missing' in the marital status field. The data I used were from a group of eight schools that covered the gamut between public and private, large and small, and well known and less well known.
In this paper I used a similar but different group of four higher education institutions that allowed me to go a little farther than I did with the first article. Here's a basic outline of what I'll cover:
- The main question I was trying to answer
- The bet I was making
- How I did the data analysis for the paper
- What conclusions I think we can draw from the data analysis
- Some specific suggestions for "action steps" you, your IT folks, and your development officers can take
The main question I was trying to answer
In the three years since I wrote the last paper I've learned a few things about major giving in general and prospect research in particular (things I had only an inkling of back then). One of the biggest things I've learned is this: When it comes to major giving in higher education, we rely too much on the data we gather on prospects from outside sources, and we don't rely enough on the data we have in hand on these prospects.
Don't get me wrong. I think getting data about prospects in your alumni database from outside sources is fine. The more you know about these folks (not just their wealth), the better. On the other hand, I'm bothered that most schools ignore the huge amount of internal data they already have on their alums.
At the risk of being a little too frank, here's the kind of process I see go on far too often:
- In anticipation of a major campaign, a school will spend a considerable sum on an electronic screening of several thousand alums by one of the excellent firms that do that kind of work.
- The firm will return a huge amount of data to the school, most of which is designed to assess an alum's capacity to make some type of major gift to the school. (Sadly, there is a good chance this data will not be used as part of the campaign. Why this is so often the case is a bit of a puzzle to me. But it happens far more frequently than any of us would like.)
- In the meantime the school will not delve into the huge store of data it keeps on its alums. Data that can point an accurate finger at which alums are most likely to give and which are least likely to give. Class reunion attendance is a good example. Unfortunately, most schools don't store this information in their alumni databases. Those that do store it don't use it to help them identify new major giving prospects — even though reunion attendance may well be the best single predictor of giving in higher education advancement. (At least I've never found a better one.)
Okay. Let's say the scenario I've offered here is not atypical: A school isn't going to do an electronic screening, or it's going to ignore the screening data even if it does one. Beyond that, the school is not going to do any serious mining of its wealth of alum data to find good predictors of giving. Can we then come up with a reasonably quick and easy way for the school to still identify good prospects for major giving?
The bet I was making
I think the answer is an unequivocal yes. Why? Because for the last several years I have become more and more convinced that if you know an alum's age along with a few other pieces of information about his/her marital status and contact information, you can do a pretty good job of determining whether that alum is a major giving prospect.
Does that sound farfetched? All I ask is that you withhold judgment until the end of the paper.
How I did the data analysis for the paper
For each of the four schools I mentioned above, I took these steps:
One. I gathered a representative sample (no less than 5,000) of alumni records for these fields:
- Home phone listed (yes/no)
- Business phone listed (yes/no)
- E-mail address listed (yes/no)
- Listed as something other than "single" or "missing" for the marital status (yes/no)
- Preferred year of graduation
Two. I "guesstimated" the age of each alum by subtracting their preferred year of graduation from the present year and then adding 22 – the age that a lot of students receive their undergraduate degrees.
Three. I computed the percentage of total lifetime dollars by alums in each five year age interval.
Four. For every alum I created a simple score with a range from 1-5 based on whether or not that alum had a home phone listed, a business phone listed, an e-mail address listed, and whether or not the alum was listed as something other than "single" or "missing" for the marital status field. (For a further explanation of how this kind of score works, see the paper titled "A Simple Score.")
Five. For the five year age interval with the highest percentage of lifetime giving, I computed the mean (average) lifetime giving for every alum by simple score level.
Let's see what these steps yielded for School A. Take a look at Chart 1. (Click on chart for full-size view.)
Just to be clear, here's how I constructed this chart. I used a sample of over 20,000 records from this school. For all of these records I computed the total amount these alums had contributed to the school at the time the sample was gathered. This value exceeded 100 million dollars. I then computed the total amount that alums in each five year age interval had contributed and converted these amounts to percentages of the total amount. For example, 34% of this lifetime amount of more than 100 million dollars had been contributed by alums aged 66-70.
A couple of things stand out for me about this chart:
- Well over 80% of the lifetime giving comes in after alums reach the age of 60.
- The under 50 crowd has contributed less than 10% of the total lifetime giving.
What do these facts say about where the focus ought to be on an upcoming capital campaign? We'll talk more about issues like this a little later on.
Now let's look at Chart 2 which shows the mean (average) lifetime giving by simple score level for this group of alums aged 66-70. (Click on chart for full-size view.)
Here's the algorithm I used for this score: 'HOME PHONE LISTED' + 'BUSINESS PHONE LISTED' + 'EMAIL LISTED' – 'SINGLE' + 2. It's pretty simple:
- If an alum had a home phone listed, they got a 1 otherwise a 0.
- If they had a business phone listed, they got a 1 otherwise a 0.
- If they had any kind of e-mail address listed, they got a 1 otherwise a 0.
- If they were listed as "single" in the marital status field, they got a minus 1 otherwise a 0 (people who are listed as single in a martial status field invariably give less than any other marital code).
- Then, for each record, I added these numbers together and added a 2 to each number so there wouldn't be any zero or negative scores. (Zero and negative scores tend to confuse people.)
So what we've got here is a very narrow age group of alums (66-70) who've given a huge amount of money to the school. Beyond that we've got a very simple score that sharply differentiates theses alums with respect to how much they've given.
What conclusions can we draw from the data analysis?
Let's assume that the simple score is a rough measure of likelihood of giving to the school. Let's call it affinity. And let's say we isolate the alums in this group that have a score of 5 on this affinity scale. As it turns out there are just over 450 alums in this group that is between 66 and 70 years old and have a score of 5. Okay, now let's look at the top ten lifetime givers in this group in descending order of giving:
$ 5,364,619
$ 5,038,707
$ 4,072,701
$ 1,644,404
$ 1,466,562
$ 979,197
$ 520,501
$ 496,978
$ 479,202
$ 256,006
What do you think? I think all these people are under stewardship – or at least they should be. You certainly don't need to do a wealth screening on them. Right?
All right, now let's look at the next ten alums in this group in descending order of lifetime giving.
$ 157,439
$ 110,621
$ 107,475
$ 88,834
$ 67,281
$ 60,017
$ 49,728
$ 41,825
$ 38,154
$ 35,728
Now it starts to get kind of interesting, doesn't it? Finally, let's look at the next ten alums in this group in descending order of lifetime giving.
$ 35,287
$ 35,202
$ 33,186
$ 32,190
$ 28,493
$ 28,366
$ 27,225
$ 25,401
$ 21,826
$ 21,359
You've probably anticipated me, but here's where I'm going with this. As we get further and further down this list of 66-70 year olds who show high affinity to the school, we run out of people who are already on our radar screens, who are already assigned and being actively appealed to for a major gift. But I think a lot of these alums should be on our radar screens. So what if we don't have wealth screening data on them? They've given something more than a pittance to the school already. They are by far in the highest giving age bracket of alums. And they have an affinity score that says they like to give to the school. Somebody should be reaching out to these folks. Why? Because some of them are poised to make a major gift. It's that simple!
And how much did it cost us to identify them? A few hours of time from a talented IT person? I think it's worth it.
At this point, I've either got you seriously interested in my line of reasoning or I've lost you. If I haven't lost you, let me show you the equivalent of charts 2 and 3 for the remaining three schools whose data I looked at to prepare this article. Then we can step back and get some perspective on all this. (Click on each chart for full-size view.)
That's a lot of charts and data to look at. But let's go back to the basic question I was trying to answer. If a school doesn't do an electronic screening, can we then come up with a reasonably quick and easy way for the school to still identify good prospects for major giving?
Again, I think the answer is yes. Why? Let's summarize the logic I'm invoking from the data I've presented from these four schools:
- Most of the lifetime giving in a school doesn't start rolling in until alums reach at least the age of 55. So if you're spending a lot of time looking for good prospects under that age, I don't think you're making great use of your time.
- Within this older crowd of alums, you don't need a lot of information beyond home phone listed, business phone listed, etc. to create a very simple score that sharply separates the big givers from the small or non-givers.
- You can use the top end of that simple score to identify alums who aren't yet on your development officers' radar screens but who should be.
Now I've already said that the last thing I'm doing here is recommending that your school not do an electronic screening. Not at all. But I am saying that if you can't do a screening, you have an option here that can help.
Some specific "action steps"
And finally, what about all you prospect researchers? After all, I wrote this thing for you guys. Here's a suggestion on some steps you can take:
- Get your IT folks to do the same kind of analysis I've done here for your own school. Sure, you'll get some push back from them. They're overworked. But you can get them to do it for you.
- Look up those alums in a higher age category who have a high simple score but who aren't yet assigned to a gift officer. Some of them will look very promising. I guarantee it.
- Take a few of the promising ones to a gift officer who thinks this data driven decision making stuff is sort of cool and ask him/her to contact these alums.
What do you have to lose?

Carface | The Carface project is a series of photographs of the "faces" of toy Matchbox® cars from the mid-1960s to early 1970s. The artist chose a head-on view of the toys to portray the strongest, most unique part of any subject, the face. The use of square composition, shallow focus and a rich black background together emphasize the power of this portrayal. As old as the artist himself, the toys bear the scratches, chips, and accumulated imperfections from life's wear and tear.
The artist adds, "Until the early 1970s, Janet worked most of her adult life at a corner store in a rural Pennsylvania town. As each new toy reached the store, Janet purchased it for her growing collection. "They might be worth something someday", we would hear her say. When I grew up and moved away, she proudly gave me the collection, coupled with a wood display case hand-crafted by her husband George. Janet (1917-2019) and George (1915-2016) are my grandparents." www.jeffkauffmanphotography.com

Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan called for a separate state for Black Americans in an Instagram video posted on Thursday, saying that's "what God wants" while those opposed he described as "slaves."
Farrakhan, who in recent months has made numerous anti-Semitic comments, made his call for a nation-state separate from white America in response to the question whether it's still his and the group's goal.
"That's not just my goal. That's what God wants. Most of our people don't want it here," Farrakhan said. "You love your enemy. You want to stay with your enemy. You're in love with his wealth. I understand the fascination, slaves. I understand that. But God has something else for us."

We had to cancel the January 17th BVJ event "Don't Just March.....Run" due to snow and speaker schedule issues, but here is the information about a re-schedule to FEBRUARY 1:
Have you thought about running for local elected office but weren't sure how to do it? Would you like to support your neighbors as they seek elected office?

The session will be held on Thursday, February 1, 2018 from 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm in the Auditorium at Belchertown Town Hall, 2 Jabish Street.
Speakers will include the Town Clerk, Colleen Toothill-Berte, who will outline the "nuts'n'bolts" of the steps to get on the ballot as a candidate. Mary Olberding, Hampshire County Register of Deeds, and an active supporter of local and county-wide election campaigns, will address the importance of running for local office. A panel of Belchertown Voices for Justice members who have run and/or been elected to office will round out the program. There will be plenty of time for questions and discussion. Join us if you just want to learn more about the most practical ways to support candidates running for office – every campaign needs enthusiastic volunteers willing to work as well.
Belchertown Voices for Justice seeks to help its members and like-minded neighbors to seriously consider running for local office; one of BVJ's goals is to have a more diverse, progressive range of citizens actively engaged in civic and political activities.

The Basics
When you sign up for Estonian e-Residency, you receive a government-issued smart ID card that provides digital identification and authorisation. That way, you can digitally sign important documents, access secure services, and make secure transactions - even if you don't live in Estonia.
For example, e-Residency would allow an Indian entrepreneur to establish an Estonian company that he runs from Singapore to serve clients based in Germany. He'd also be able to use his digital signature to sign contracts with customers throughout the European Union. All of it would be done online, remotely, and completely hassle-free.
What does that mean?
As the name suggests, e-Residency gives foreigners the ability to apply for a secure digital residency in Estonia, even though they don't actually live there.
How does it work?
e-Residents are given a digital ID card that contains a special chip. This card enables them to use Estonian public and private sector services and resources, sign documents remotely, and encrypt files.
The security and simplicity of Estonia's e-Residency program has become a success story all over the world. Media outlets swarmed as soon as the program started, allowing people to sign up to be notified of an official launch. Within 24 hours, people in 168 different countries signed up for an official notification. Then, when the formal application process actually began, more than 6,000 people applied
Edward Lucas was the first e-Resident of Estonia (image: e-estonia.com) So far, some of the world's biggest names are among the list of Estonian e-Residents - including Japanese Prime Minister Shinzō Abe, former Apple evangelist Guy Kawasaki, and Timothy Draper from the venture capital firm Draper Fisher Jurvetson.
While e-Residency is a new concept, the idea of a government-issued digital ID card is not. In fact, Estonians have been using these cards for more than a decade. Since Estonia is often called "e-Estonia" because of its technological advances, it made perfect sense to expand this digital ID service to the rest of the world. By extending virtually every public and private sector transaction to people in other countries, Estonia has created long-term value in the idea of secure digital identities, especially when it comes to commercialized Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS).Edward Lucas was the first e-Resident of Estonia (image: e-estonia.com)
The motivation behind e-Residency is simple - to create a country without borders.
"What we aim to do is to create a worldwide virtual business environment, where people from both the developed and developing countries can easily become entrepreneurs and start doing business anywhere in the world. Physical national borders and restrictions will no longer present an obstacle. You can start a business, open bank accounts, make transactions, sign contracts and even declare taxes, all on your computer," said Kaspar Korjus, Estonian e-Residency Program Director.
The main goal of the e-Residency program is to make life and business significantly easier for freelancers, digital nomads, business owners, international partners, and any other non-resident who has a relation to Estonia. Whether you want to start a business, expand your business, make investments, or study in the European Union, Estonian e-Residency makes it both possible and simple.
As an e-Resident, you'll be able to:
- Establish and run a company online
- Conduct your banking online e.g. make electronic bank transfers
- Have access to international payment service providers
- Digitally sign documents (annual reports, contracts) within the company as well as with external partners
- Verify the authenticity of signed documents
- Encrypt and transmit documents securely
- Declare taxes online
As more people have come to realize the value of e-Residency, the program has continued to grow.
As of April 2019, over 53,719 people from over 175 countries have applied for e-Residency. A whopping 7,800 of them have established companies or joined the boards of companies in Estonia! In fact, the vast majority of people who apply say they do so to conduct business either with Estonia or throught the e-Residency program.
How can you apply for Estonian e-Residency?
All you have to do is fill out the online application form. Once you do, the Estonian Police and Border Guard will do a background check. Once your application is approved, you'll choose where you want to pick up your digital ID card. You can select one of the 38 Estonian embassies and consulates around the world, or you can go to a Police and Border Guard Station in Estonia.
Once your digital ID card arrives at your chosen pickup location, you'll need to personally collect it. In order to do this, you'll need to show valid travel documents for your country of nationality and submit your fingerprints for verification.
As an e-Resident, you'll be able to:
- Read more from the official e-Residency website
- Fill out the online application form. You'll need to upload your photos, describe your purpose for applying, and pay the €100 e-Residency state fee.
- Once your application has been submitted, you'll need to wait about 10 business days for the background check to be completed.
- After you verify your identity at the pickup location, you'll get a starter kit which contains your digital ID card and a smart card reader.
The whole process should take two to four weeks, depending on the pickup location you choose and the number of waiting applicants.(Source: https://e-resident.gov.ee)
What happens once you receive your digital ID card?
You'll be able to digitally identify yourself - meaning that you can digitally sign documents, authenticate documents, and encrypt documents for three years. You'll be able to enjoy all of the convenience and ease that Estonian residents have been taking advantage of for a decade!
Just remember, your Estonian e-Residency card is not a physical ID card, and it can't be used as a travel document. It also doesn't grant you citizenship, tax residency, residence permit of rights, or entry into Estonia or the rest of the European Union.
But why would you want to run your business in Estonia in the first place?
Just as you might switch your traditional bank to one with a modern and easy-to-use mobile app like Transferwise or Revolut, we here at Xolo (together with the Estonian public sector) share the vision that you'll benefit greatly from switching your business to a country with minimal bureaucracy, fewer administrative hassles, and an infrastructure that is easy to use remotely.
Specifically, you'll get:
- A presence in the EU single market, as a trusted member of the European Union business community
- Access to international payments providers like Google, PayPal etc
- A trusted and transparent business entity that's been incorporated through a simplified setup process
- Possibility to access a simple and fair tax system - 0% corporate income tax as long as you keep your profit earned in the company or reinvest it into growing your business.
- Full remote control – secure access to your bank and company data via e-Residency, regardless of your location
- Paperless administration
- Digital signature and encryption tools that come with a guaranteed high level of security
In a world where businesses, people, and money can move around with relative ease, having a competitive tax code has become even more important to economic success. According to the latest figures released by the US-based Tax Foundation, Estonia has the most competitive tax system in the OECD (International Tax Competitiveness Index Rankings) and shares a place at the top of list for Internet Freedom.
Estonia has a unique income tax system where corporate income tax is charged on profit distribution (i.e., dividends) only, and is capped at 20%. As long as you keep your profits within the company, you won't have to pay any corporate income taxes. And, Estonia has a flat 20% tax on individual income that does not apply to personal dividend income.

It's Me, Sra. Gill
Soy Yo, Sra Gill
My passion has always been education. So although I changed my major three times in my first semester of college at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, I knew I had to be a teacher. I have had so many great ones in the past, that I too had to make the same mark on young ones today.
I graduated from Hastings High, then attend the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, where I majored in Secondary Education with a French endorsement (that's right) and I'm always willing to get back into it. I then completed a Spanish Endorsement at the University of Nebraska-Kearney in 2002 and a Masters in Curriculum and Instruction from UNL with an emphasis in Diversity in 2005. I am continuing my education in Technology, as it is a must in today's world! If I can infuse technology in class everyday, I certainly do.
I have taught in two other school districts since coming to Palmyra in 2002. The first was at East Butler (K-12 Spanish, assistant track coach, volleyball coach, Junior class sponsor, Spanish Club, and cheerleading sponsor). My second "gig" was Ravenna (9-12 Spanish, volleyball, Yearbook and Journalism, Cheerleading, and Student Council). And now I find myself at Palmyra, hoping to slow down and spend that quality time with my boys, ages 14 and 10.
I have served as Past-President, President, Vice President and Secretary of the Nebraska International Languages Association (our state language association), as well as a site coordinator for past conferences. I have most recently served as the state's Advocacy chair and liaison with our state senators and most recently stepped down from as the State coordinator for the Seal of Bilteracy, having awarded state Seals to those passing national world language testing. I have also served as Vice President, President-Elect, President, and Secretary and Secretary for the Nebraska Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese. These organizations keep me busy, but also provide a way to communicate with other language teachers from across the state, something that has become a challenge teaching in a rural school setting. I am also a member of the American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese and the American Council of Teachers of Foreign Languages.
I really do have other passions in my life. My family is always on the go with a college freshman attending UNL and 9th grader at Lincoln Northstar. I love to be outdoors with my boys and husband and we love to hike! (We even got married at Rocky Mountain National Park.) I have a passion for running, rollerblading, and lifting, but also enjoy travel, history, and crocheting (I bet you never thought that), and technology, of course. Oh, and hockey! You'll see us at the Stars games and practices at Breslow when I'm not as school.
Piñata Time!
No better way to end a semester.
The end of first semester always means "Piñata Time". It's a time to finish our students portfolios, complete our final Spanish projects, and immerse ourselves in tissue paper and flour glue, bringing all . . .
Spanish II: Real World Language Usage
Communication is the most important part.
As S panish I students, we take the time to study foods, food groups and healthy living habits. As students progress into Spanish II, we take the time to discuss vocabulary for ordering and requesting what we need when one is hungry, . . .
Language and Grammar Fun in Spanish I
Yes! I said fun.
Spanish I classes recently completed a chapter on prepositions and location. Today, it is so important that language skills in a world language be realistic and students leave with real speaking skills, but class has to be engaging as . . .
Palmyra Spanish Students Visit 39th Annual Foreign Language Fair
Once again, Spanish students at all levels had the opportunity to attend and participate in UNL's 39th annual foreign language fair on April 16th. This year over 1300 students and sponsors attended a jam packed day. The . . .
Spanish Web Page.
Old web page has changed. Pleasae use the new one.
http://sites.google.com/site/sragillrenken/Home Welcome to a new year. And with a new year comes excitement and always TONS of ideas for Ms. Gill. This year I have created a different webpage that has it all. Students . . .
New Spanish Web Page - Información Para Mis Estudiantes
It has everything!
Your student is really missing out if they haven't gone here and told you about this website. http://sites.google.com/site/sragillrenken/Home Well, remember that with each year there has to be changes if we are . . .

Caitlyn Jenner has been spending some quality time with her daughters! The Olympian stepped out with Kylie Jenner on Tuesday to attend the LBGTQ sponsored NOH8 event in Los Angeles for World Bullying Prevention Day.

She took to Instagram to share a selfie of her colorful pout while posing with Caitlyn, writing, "Wearing blue lips today in honor of world bullying prevention. #BlueShirtDay2015 #WorldBullyingPreventionDay."
She also urged her fans to participate, adding, "Wear blue and post a pic with the hashtags! Spread love & you will receive. Nothing can be done if we don't do it together!" After attending the NOH8 event, Caitlyn and Kylie grabbed some lunch at their favorite Calabasas restaurant:
Sugarfish sushi! Kylie looked ready for fall in a baby pink duster coat with light washed jeans and pointed toe metallic pumps. Caitlyn, on the other hand, dressed a bit more colorful in an orange sweater, a white eyelet skirt and T-strap heels. Meanwhile, Caitlyn also made time last night to hang with Kim Kardashian.
The 34-year-old fashion mogul shared a selfie with Caitlyn alongside a simple caption that read, "Chillin with Cait."
