BETHESDA, Md. (CBS.MW) -- Lockheed Martin shares jumped more than 7 percent Tuesday after the nation's biggest defense contractor reported net earnings that blew past analyst estimates.
Lockheed LMT, +0.95% reported net income of $250 million, or 56 cents a share, for the first quarter ended March 31, up 15 percent from $218 million, or 50 cents a share, for the same period in 2002. Lockheed's per-share income rose 12 percent.
The company reported sales of $7.1 billion for the period, which was up 18 percent over last year's $6 billion.
According to Thomson First Call, Lockheed was expected to report earnings of 42 cents a share, 14 cents below what it ended up with at quarter's end. The afterburners kicked in on Lockheed's stock as a result, and shares soared $3.30, or 7.3 percent, to $48.55.
Much of Lockheed's unexpected gain, however, was due to one-time adjustments to tax rates and benefits from paying out lower stock fee costs. Lockheed upped its earnings forecast for the year as a result, putting it in the $2.20 to $2.30 range, up from $2.15 to $2.20.
Sales are expected to be 8 percent to 12 percent above last year's levels, the company said.
"They basically met or exceeded my expectations," said Eric Hugel, analyst for Stephens Inc. in New York. Hugel said the company, along with Northrop Grumman NOC, +0.74% is best poised to capitalize on increases in defense spending.
Steven Artuso, analyst for Pittsburg Research in Great Neck, N.Y., said one thing to watch for in the future is if there will be added pressure on margins as Lockheed moves into development on the Joint Strike Fighter and production on the F-22 Raptor. New programs tend to be costlier than mature systems.

As a pisces girl, I feel like no one will quite understand me like a scorpio man. Being both water signs truly helps us understand eachother more and makes us very emotional towards eachother. I just need to find me a scorpio man (:
Pisces and Scorpio CompatibilityBy |
Matches between Pisces and Scorpio are seldom without a high level of drama and this pattern continues. Pisces and Scorpio compatibility is one of the most interesting of all the matches between the Zodiac signs and it requires careful analysis on many different levels.
This special compatibility report will reveal the compatibility between Pisces and Scorpio in terms of friendship, love, sexual compatibility and finally marriage compatibility.
Let us begin.
Pisces and Scorpio Friendship Compatibility
When it comes to friendship compatibility between Pisces and Scorpio we need to understand the key traits and personalities of each person to fully understand the issues this match.
As I have already covered the personality traits of Pisces let us look at the key traits and characteristics of the Scorpio.
Scorpio is a sign that always looks inwards before looking outwards at the world that surrounds them. Their reflective nature means that sometimes they can come across as being secretive or mysterious to others. They are a sign that thinks a lot. They will carefully analyse a situation before making a judgement and this applies to the way they approach relationships in their lives.
Once we understand Scorpio and the key traits of their personality we are much better placed to understand what it takes to make a relationship work with a Scorpio man.
In terms of friendships between Pisces and Scorpio the key to success lies in the hands of the Pisces. Pisces must take two steps back from a Scorpio in order to take three steps forward in their relationship.
What I really mean here is that you must give the Scorpio in your life the space and time they need to think things through. If you rush them into a situation or even a more developed relationship it is likely that you will experience the sting in the tail that an angry Scorpio sign can bring.
Take my advice and let them have their space. This might take a bit of getting used to but once you find the natural rhythm of your partner I see no reason at all that Pisces and Scorpio cannot be friends and enjoy excellent friendship compatibility.
Pisces and Scorpio Love Compatibility
When it comes to Pisces and Scorpio Love Compatibility the single biggest problem that will put the brakes on a successful relationship between Pisces and Scorpio is Scorpio's extreme jealousy.
Pisces is a sign that is well liked by many people. The easy going nature of the Pisces is an attractive trait and in my experience people born under Pisces tend to enjoy good luck and good fortune in life. This is all well and good for Pisces but when it comes to a relationship with Scorpio this can cause real problems.
As already mentioned Scorpio is a deep thinker. Some would say that Scorpio signs spend far too much of their lives over thinking things. When it comes to Pisces and Scorpio Love Compatibility I completely agree with this.
Scorpio in a relationship with Pisces will analyse and study every single move that the Pisces makes. Even the most innocent comment by a Pisces can and will be analysed for days on end by the Scorpio.
It can really get to a point where the Pisces feels that they are being watched and studied – almost as if their Scorpio partner is waiting for them to a make a mistake.
This is a very unhealthy way to be in any relationship and in my opinion; Scorpio's jealousy is the single biggest problem that faces Pisces and Scorpio Love Compatibility.
My advice to Pisces and Scorpio couples is to sit down and talk. Talk openly and honestly. If you are a Pisces woman in a relationship with a Scorpio man the best thing you can do is be completely open and honest with them.
Tell them that their constant scrutiny is suffocating you. Tell them that their apparent lack of trust in you is killing your relationship. It might come as quite a surprise to the Scorpio man to hear how you really feel so take it easy Pisces.
The last thing you want to do is to make things worse when you are trying to explain how you feel and make things better.
This is a hard thing to address in a relationship and it is especially difficult in a relationship between a Pisces woman and Scorpio man. However if you bite the bullet and have this difficult conversation early in your relationship I see great and positive things ahead for Pisces and Scorpio Love compatibility this year and beyond.
Pisces and Scorpio Sexual Compatibility
Sexual compatibility between Pisces and Scorpio is like a firework going off in the room. There is no doubt about it – Pisces and Scorpio have intense sexual chemistry that is rarely seen in any other match in the Zodiac.
The only other match that comes close for such perfect sexual compatibility is the sexual compatibility between Pisces and Leo. However this is still a distant second to the explosive and exciting sexual chemistry between Pisces and Scorpio.
I must issue a word of warning though. It is a well-known fact that Scorpio men will use sex as a shield to hide their true feelings and emotions.
If you are in a relationship with a Scorpio man it will be easy to spot when they use this tactic.
If you notice that any time you try and talk about an important issue in your relationship that the Scorpio man tries to seduce you to change the subject you must be firm with them.
Yes, the sexual chemistry between Pisces and Scorpio can be hard to resist but you owe it to the future of your relationship to take these things seriously.
Do not let your Scorpio man deflect you away from address problem issues in your relationship by distracting you with sex.
Force them to talk about issues and problems in your relationship and then you can enjoy a deeper and more fulfilling relationship and even better sexual compatibility.
Pisces and Scorpio Marriage Compatibility
When it comes to Pisces and Scorpio Marriage Compatibility the prospects look good. This is of course providing that the issues and problems facing Pisces and Scorpio can be overcome.
When it comes to long term love and romance and ultimately Pisces and Scorpio marriage compatibility take my advice and use these three tips to ensure long term happiness –
- Pisces emotions and Scorpio's coldness –
When it comes to a marriage between these two signs you will have to accept that both signs operate on a different level of emotional intensity. Pisces is known to be a highly emotional sign and this stands in sharp contrast to Scorpio's seemingly cold nature. If you can accept and work on this you should find things improve dramatically in your relationship.
- Remove yourself from the argument –
Scorpio signs really do have a sting in their tail and when it comes to an argument involving Pisces and Scorpio signs, Pisces usually comes off worst. My advice to Pisces is to let things cool down and remove yourself from the argument. If you stay the chances are Pisces will say something that you both regret.
- Don't confuse intimacy for honesty –
This goes back to the sexual compatibility between Pisces and Scorpio – never mistake passion for honesty and never let sex be used as a distraction from hard truths that you both have to face in your relationship.
My Final Thoughts and Advice for Pisces and Scorpio Couples
This concludes my special report on the compatibility between Pisces and Scorpio. I honestly do believe that with a commitment to honesty and openness this relationship can work.
Pisces and Scorpio are highly compatible in love and even in marriage but as I have said it will not come without a lot of hard work and determination from both signs to make the relationship work.

Wow. I an a Pisces woman (23) & I recently reconnected with a Scorpio guy/friend . I haven't seen him in at least a year or so, but as soon as we seen each other I could just feel the emotions and the intensity coming off of him but also coming from me too. Later we had sex and MY OHH MY !! It felt like I was where I was supposed to be . I felt like he was expressing his emotions through sex and I felt every last one of them ! His friends were downstairs but I didn't care about making noise like I would with anyone else, I just couldn't resistit . And he told me he really enjoyed it. I feel like I love him but of course I won't tell him now, me being a pisces – I could change my mind in a week lol. But I think he's my soul mate for real.

Matthew 28:1-10
1 After the sabbath, as the first day of the week was dawning,
Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb.
2 And suddenly there was a great earthquake;
for an angel of the Lord, descending from heaven,
came and rolled back the stone and sat on it.
3 His appearance was like lightning,
and his clothing white as snow.
4 For fear of him the guards shook and became like dead men. ...
5 But the angel said to the women, ... "Do not be afraid;
I know that you are looking for Jesus who was crucified.
6 He is not here; for he has been raised, as he said.
Come, see the place where he lay.
7 Then go quickly and tell his disciples,
"He has been raised from the dead,
and indeed he is going ahead of you to Galilee;
there you will see him.'
This is my message for you."
8 So they left the tomb quickly with fear and great joy,
and ran to tell his disciples.
9 Suddenly Jesus met them and said, "Greetings!"
And they came to him, took hold of his feet, and worshiped him.
10 Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid;
go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me."
Today's text, in addition to its more prominent function of announcing the resurrection, tells the story of the first Christian sermon—there can be no Christian preaching until Christ is raised from the dead. We might say, then, as our sermon title suggests, that the task at hand for us is not so much to preach resurrection as it is to preach preaching resurrection. After all, we are not newcomers to this story—we have already come, and we have seen, and we have heard. But the command given to the women on Easter morning, both by the angel of the Lord, and by Jesus himself, while it includes the invitation to come and to see, is ultimately a commissioning … to Go ... And Tell ...
It is not a commission, though, that is given first to the people we expect ... it is not first given to the holder of the keys of the kingdom, or to the ones who argued about who is the greatest, or who will get to sit where. Instead, this commissioning to preach is given to a woman whose name is preceded by the somewhat dismissive title "the other," and to a kind of newbie, freshman in the gospel narrative.
Mary Magdalene, whose name is so well known through the historical rumor mill, doesn't show up in Matthew's gospel until chapter 27, where we are told only that her sins, which were many, had been forgiven by Jesus, whom she is now following. She has no lines. As she and "the other Mary" will be at the cross," so here in her very late appearance on the scene, Mary Magdalene is silent. But she is faithful.
We do not know if these silent, faithful women were commissioned because they came to the tomb, or if they were brought to the tomb so that they might be commissioned, chosen by God for this specific task. We only know that so far they have been silent ... and that they display great faithfulness to Jesus by coming "to see the tomb," as the text says.
This is a familiar ritual. As a matter of fact, there are almost certainly some among us who this very morning have, or will visit the burial site of a beloved departed "to see the tomb." What we mean by "see the tomb" is visit the person ... Remember the person ... Continue in relationship with the person.
In this way, when we make a point to see the tomb, we remain faithful to our relationships, even through death, and in this way, these women are remaining faithful to Jesus, even in the shadow of the cross.
They are the silent faithful ... And here in our text they are being asked, or rather, commanded to speak ...
A few years back, while being trained for ministry, I served as a hospital chaplain alongside 6 or 7 other students, most of whom I not previously met. It was a program required by my denomination, called Clinical Pastoral Education, and for the first few weeks I was legitimately suspicious that the program had hired actors to blend in with the students just to be as absurd and create as much drama as possible ... That didn't turn out to be true, but regardless, when you put seven random people in a room together who all believe that they are called to serve Jesus as a profession, the relational dynamics get weird real fast! Some people would get territorial with patient visits; an older woman in the group, who had children about my age, treated everyone like she was our mother, to which different people responded with varied expressions of annoyance; one person had previously been employed as a social worker, and had all kinds of diagnoses for people who didn't realize or appreciate that they were being diagnosed ... and I was nearly convinced that I couldn't possibly be called to pastoral ministry because my thoughts were just too mean ... And sometimes when I was really tired, they'd slip out ... We were a loud and fickle group.
... And then there was Matthew.
Matthew was a Roman Catholic seminarian from rural Louisiana who was part of our group. He is the youngest of seven brothers and sisters. Early on, Matthew's oldest brother, who had suffered from a developmental disability, and who he looked up to as a beloved friend and role model, died of his illness. Matthew didn't know if that particular experience of trauma was the source of it or not, but he grew up, among all the noise of five loud siblings, as the quiet one. He told us about meal time in his family; how he was rarely able to get a word in at the dinner table, and so he just stopped trying. Silenced by trauma... Silenced, just because everyone else was louder.
When I met Matthew, he mostly stood out to me as the quiet one. I often worried, as conversations seemed to roll him over; people were weeping and gnashing teeth while Matthew simply sat quietly and observed. For a while, the group didn't ask because we didn't need him to participate. Even if we found it curious that he chose not to, the rest of us could analyze and speculate and fight and complain on our own, and we were mostly very willing ... and confident ... and loud about it.
It seems not all that uncommon that young minister types, such as we were, ooze with these characteristics when we are in churchy situations. I might be confident, but when it actually comes to being a faithful practitioner of the gospel that Jesus talked about using terms like "peace," "love," and "compassion," ... the gospel that we might rightly speak of as non-competitive and liberating ... Well then, I am just kind of loud and fickle. That summer it didn't take long to realize that the loud and fickle actually have profound need of the silent faithful.
As we got to know Matthew and his story, it became clear that, in pretty stark contrast to the rest of the group, Matthew was not just quiet; he was, along with the Marys in our story, the silent faithful. As it turned out, prior to coming to college, Matthew's parents flew him to Atlanta to spend a summer exploring monastic life at the monastery of the Holy Spirit. He ended up staying twice that long, and after leaving eventually came back for another year, and joined the community as its youngest member by nearly 30 years. Matthew was at the bedside with many of the older monks as they died. It is the monastery where he recalls learning and developing his faithful commitment to a life of prayer, so difficult for so many Christian people. It is also in the monastery where Matthew tells of hearing God's call on his life, to the parish ... out of his silence and into a life where he would have to speak into all of the noise and hopeless with nothing but an absurd message that death has lost its sting and only his own understated and unheard voice with which to carry it.
Today, Matthew can be found standing in the pulpit, and by the hospital bed delivering that message. He is running with both fear and great joy ... The silent faithful, empowered by the gracious call of the resurrected Jesus to speak.
But what of we who are the loud and fickle? What of the disciples, who should have been at the tomb, but weren't ... Who should have been at the cross, but weren't ... What of those of us who sometimes get a little too empowered and entitled, forgetting that we were fishermen, tax-collectors, and slaves in Egypt ... Before we were disciples of a Lord with whom we have never been able to go to the cross ...
Jesus' words to the women are "Go and tell my brothers to go to Galillee. There they will see me." ... You kind of have to wonder if these women, who have remained faithful even through death, are thinking to themselves, "BROTHERS?!? I don't know if you remember this, Jesus, but those guys hit the road as soon as they heard the word crucify ... the people you used to call your brothers all abandoned and betrayed you... So ... I'm not so sure you want to call them your brothers anymore..."
If they thought it they didn't say it ... They just went, faithfully, carrying an absurd message to a bunch of people who had lost hope in their Lord with nothing but their understated, unheard voices.
The loud and fickle indeed have profound need of the silent faithful. For it is precisely the silent faithful whom God has chosen to proclaim that the silencing power of death has been cancelled ... That the cross isn't terrifying ... It is freeing ... And that if you missed it the first time, or the second or third time, that its ok, because Christ has laid before us a table called calvary… it is a table whose invitation to eat and drink to live and die and live again with Christ is never worn out. It is a table that includes us in the great story of God's salvation and empowers us to go and tell the tale: Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come again!
To these silenced, faithful women, as to my friend Matthew; to the loud and fickle disciples; to you who have been silenced, and to we who have been unwilling to die to ourselves ... Jesus not only gives a seat at his table, but a voice and a mission.
Friends, we have come and seen … In just a moment, we will take Christ's life—body and blood—into our own life. It would be easy to keep all of this a private event, celebratory inside the walls of the church, and silent out in the world. But for we who call this risen Jesus 'Lord,' the good news of Easter is not private, even though it is deeply personal. That the crucified One defies sin and death by the power of God is good news for all creation. May it send us out with the command of Jesus: go and tell your brothers and sisters. Christ is Risen. Alleluia.

08 Sep Greening Cities Conference, Sydney 2011
Graham Cleary was amongst the distinguished line up of leading international & national authorities who presented their recent work and vision for a greener urban future at this year's conference. He reports on the event
I was again impressed by the extent of local government initiatives in Australia. City of Sydney now has'Sydney 2030' vision in place that actively promotes green walls and roofs as a key part of the response to climate change.
Indeed climate change is driving a lot of the green roof developments. Australia is looking at some dramatic changes; especially hot days, where days over 40°C in Adelaide and Perth look set to triple. These events kill people and cost the cities millions of dollars in health response.
Companies like 'Fifth Creek Studios' in Adelaide have responded with detailed research on how to use green walls and green roofs to counter such events. Their studio now has a large green wall system for very tall buildings (up to 23 stories). They have recently undertaken a feasibility study and are in the process of building and trialing walls.
The conference also featured Dr Patrick Blanc, the inventor of the modern vertical garden, who is designing and building projects across the world.
Dusty Gedge was also of note. He presented on the history of green roof development in London, where council policy now mandates green roofs. Interestingly, this was initially driven by the humble bird that required 'brownsites' for breeding. Dusty speaks here in Auckland on 23 November.
The major lessons I brought home are:
We (Natural Habitats) need to help the NZ Green Building Council to promote green roofs. The technology is proven, climate change predictions are saying we can expect greater extremes. Basic green technology, even simply increasing, cities tree canopies, and installing greenroofs will help to mitigate these, protect our environment and make our cities more liveable.
ACROS Fukuoka Prefectural International Hall a great example on an integrated landscape architectural system.

This experience happened six years ago. I was in fourth-year high school then. I had a boyfriend at the time and I was studying in a co-ed school. I can still remember the time we did something really unbelievable in our English class. There were 36 students and the teacher to be exact. My boyfriend and I were both seated at the end of the row.
Suddenly, he asked me to put my leg up. I did as I was told, then he slipped his finger inside my skirt. He teased me further by inserting them inside my panties. I got really wet. He bowed his head to cover for what he was doing. It felt so good that I had to muffle my moans. After which he said, "Bigay mo sa akin yang suot mong panty." I did—but only when the class was dismissed. We continued what we'd started back in his place.

University Liaisons Morris, Taylor, Harrison, & Wasson Notes
Morris, V. G., Taylor, S. I., Harrison, M. M., & Wasson R. (2000). University liaisons: Professors who come to stay. In L Chance (Ed.), Professional development schools: Combining school improvement and teacher preparation (pp. 43-60). National Education Association.
· University liaison is someone from the university, often a professor. They make a 3-5 year commitment. They also can be experienced teachers working for the university.
· The authors apply Jones (1993) roles of staff developers to university liaisons. They say that although Jones identifies three roles, storytellers/facilitators, fixer-uppers, or stars, university liaisons are often storytellers/facilitators. "The storyteller/facilitator looks for knowledge that teachers are already using and reflects it back to them, making teachers' own stories the starting point for learning (p. 44)."
Roles and Characteristics of University Liaisons
· Their definition: "The university liaison is a College of Education faculty member who is assigned one-quarter to one-half time to work at a single professional development school site (p. 44)."
· "The university faculty member serves as a resource person in planning, managing, operating, and evaluating the professional development school program (p. 44)."
· (MY QUESTIONS - What are the roles of hybrids? How do they compare to this definition?)
· The authors cite a paper by Chance (1992) who identified seven tasks of university liaisons. They are:
o "Assist in the development and implementation of the school improvement plan.
o Serve as liaison between the school and the university (practice and research).
o Train cooperating teachers in the process of evaluation, observation, reflective mentoring, and clinical supervision.
o Establish continuity between induction (preservice) and inservice staff development programs.
o Serve on the supervision/evaluation team for preservice teachers in the professional development school.
o Include schools and school practitioners in action research and presentations of research findings.
o Respectfully recognize the professional development schools as the 'teaching hospitals' for the education profession (p. 45)."
· Characteristics of a university liaison:
o Can work w/preK-12 professionals (MY QUESTION - why not P-16?)
o Desire to work in schools
o Enthusiastic
o Interested in change
o Persistent
· "Liaisons were assigned 10-15 student teachers (p. 46)."
· Responsibilities were to both student teachers and classroom teachers.
o For working with student teachers:
§ "Meet with student teachers on a regular basis, beginning with an initial orientation meeting, then once per week to reflect on classroom experiences.
§ Make weekly observation/supervision visits to classrooms.
§ Participate in two-three evaluation conferences with the student teacher and cooperating teacher (number depends on length of placement).
§ Submit student teacher portfolio to Teacher Education Office at completion of placement (p. 46)."
o For working with classroom teachers:
§ "Conduct weekly meetings with the cooperating teachers.
§ Facilitate the development or update of school improvement plan.
§ Support and assist teachers in meeting needs identified in school improvement plans. Example may include :
· Conducting workshops
· Finding resource people; supporting scholarly inquiry in research and grant writing
· Attending faculty meetings and PTA functions
· Re-examining needs at the beginning of the year and evaluating accomplishments at the end of the year (p. 46)."
· Roles of an effective university liaison: (from the chart on p. 47)
o Mediator, confidant, coordinator, teacher, facilitator, storyteller, listener, follower, colleague, collaborator, problem-solver, leader, coach, consultant
· Characteristics of an effective university liaison: (from the chart on p. 47)
o Good listener, trustworthy, committed to change, patient, diplomatic, high energy level, nonjudgmental, respectful of differences, tactful, sense of humor, open-minded, enthusiastic, persistent, flexible
Team Building Between School and University
· "Many preK-12 classroom teachers believe that university professors regard themselves as higher status professionals; that is, they are 'experts' who have come to tell teachers how to 'fix' the problems in their classrooms and schools (p. 48)."
· "The preK-12 practitioner must believe that the liaison has made a long term commitment to the school and that the work of the professional development school is not another short-term, passing educational fad (p. 48)." (MY THOUGHTS - How can they get that feeling when the commitment of a university liaison is only 3-5 years?)
· The goal is for the liaison to be accepted as a colleague and peer.
· Setting the Tone
o "The relationship that develops between the principal and the university liaison also sets the tone for the university liaison to establish appropriate relationships with classroom teachers and support staff (p. 49)."
· Activities that Promote Collegiality
o Weekly meetings w/cooperating teachers: "Cooperating teachers also expressed their concerns and made suggestions to improve not only the experiences of the student teaching program at the university, but other aspects of the teacher education program, such as clinical experiences prior to student teaching, course content, and classroom management skills (p. 50)."
o Co-teaching classes is a sign of trust from the cooperating teacher.
o "They (classroom teachers) saw that the liaisons were 'real' teachers who could teach children as well as adults (p. 50)."
o Community membership for the liaison often was a result of co-teaching a class.
o The teachers' lunchroom is a place to establish relationships.
Valuing Work in the Schools
· "Yet, if colleges and universities are going to significantly improve the way they prepare preK-we professionals, teacher educators must live in both worlds so that hey can build on the contemporary realities that children and practitioners bring to their teaching, research, and writing (p. 52)."
· School-Based Research
· Other Roles for University Professors
· Time needs to be built in for reflection on practice: "Time for reflection allows the liaisons as a group to learn from one another and to model the collaboration process that is central to professional development school partnerships (p. 55)." (MY THOUGHTS - I would also add that it contributes to their learning - the supervisor's learning and development, which has connections to Sergiovanni & Starratt's Ch.3 notions of primary and secondary reflection and the blog post related to my thoughts on this topic).
· Find ways to communicate in between the monthly meetings.
· Create an orientation for new liaisons: "It should include information on: (1) the culture of the school and community, (2) the preK-12 schools' prior relationship with the university, (3) activities that have been implemented in other professional development schools (both accomplishments and challenges), (4) roles and responsibilities of liaisons, and (5) roles and responsibilities of preK-12 administrators and classroom teachers (p. 56)." (MY THOUGHTS - I would also add information about supervision as well).
· "Stages of development of the university liaison's work (p. 56).":
o "Classroom teachers who may suspect the motives of universities and their representatives need time to develop trust, collegiality, and a common purpose (p. 56)."
o "While many goals may be accomplished during the first year, the liaison's work may proceed more effectively the second year, when preK-12 professionals, students, parents, and community people have begun to view the liaison as part of the school community (p. 56)."
· Careful selection of appropriate individuals for this role:
o "Not every teacher educator can or should become a liaison in a professional development school, since special personal characteristics and qualifications are required to be effective (p. 56)."
o "Liaisons should have a positive track record of teaching in preK-12 schools and as consultants or inservice workshop leaders in addition to working with teachers. They must be willing to make a long-term commitment to improve both the university's teacher education program and preK-12 teaching and learning. Effective liaisons view classroom teachers as equal partners in the teacher education process and are committed to playing a facilitative, rather than an 'expert,' role in improving schools (p. 56)."

OakNorth bank has provided a £22m loan to Godfrey London and Cogress for their prime residential scheme in north London.
The 14-home Netherhall Gardens luxury development in Hampstead was completed earlier this year and launched eight weeks ago.
OakNorth has provided a new senior loan to buy out the existing senior lender, Bank Leumi, on an 18-month term.
The agreement will allow Godfrey London to pay off its mezzanine debt first, reducing costs. £11.4m was provided in mezzanine debt by a joint venture between Urban Exposure and US private equity firm EJF Capital in late 2015.
Ben Barbanel, head of debt finance at OakNorth, said: "Clearly in this market we would not do everything we see at this end of the market, but this one ticks all the boxes for us.
"One of the things that OakNorth focuses on is flexible debt solutions and this was another example, allowing a facility to be granted to the borrower, effectively refinancing his existing senior debt and enabling the developer to repay the more expensive mezzanine finance on the site in advance of us as senior lender."
Since its launch, six flats at the scheme have been placed under offer or exchanged.
Paul Godrey, director of Godfrey London, said the flats were not launched until practical completion to allow people to see the finished product.
"On a scheme like this, which is a very specialised development and producing the highest quality you could possibly do, you lose the ability to wow people if you pre-sell it," he said.
"A, you won't get the best prices, and B, with the amount of hard work and dedication everyone has provided on this project… We were not under a particular time threshold to sell it quickly… Our view was that to maximise value and the ability to sell, everything needed to be finished."
Godfrey London bought the site with equity partner Cogress in 2014. Cogress arranges equity through a network of qualified private investors who each put a smaller amount into various projects, allowing them to build their own property development portfolios.
Tal Orly, chief executive of Cogress, said: "Despite being a large deal in terms of ticket size, most traditional banks would have been reluctant to support this project due to the complexity of the funding structure, or would have taken far too long to get the funding off the ground.
"OakNorth is willing to be flexible and work with us to get the deal done. This is essential in enabling us to offer robust and intelligent investment opportunities to our network of qualified investors, and financial speed and flexibility to our developer partners."
Cogress has provided a further £3.4m of equity towards the project, on which prices range from £1,550 per sq ft to £1,700, with finished apartment prices starting at £2.4m. The scheme has a GDV of £48m.
The property has an important history. In the 1920s it was bought by British banker and philanthropist Otto Schiff. When the Nazis came to power in 1933, Schiff worked to establish the Jewish Refugees Committee within it, organising the rescue and sheltering of 12,000 German and Austrian Jews.
When he died in 1952, Schiff left a bequest establishing the building as a trust and care home for victims of Nazi persecution. The building was operated independently until 2010 before being incorporated into Jewish Care and relocated to a facility in Golders Green.

Brand identity has never been bigger. I'm not just talking about house hold names and billion dollar companies.
Some don't realise the importance of branding at your local fish and chip shop, favourite bar, blog, music artist and even your own personal brand!
Picture your favourite café. What does the menu look like? What type of chair do you sit on? Why do you like the staff? What pattern does the barista put on your latte? All these small elements contribute to the café's brand and why you like it.
Once a company has a concrete brand identity established, nothing can stop them. As long as the company continues to do the great things people expect from them, they can only get more successful.
It's a major concern when organizations are confused about their brand and identity. They will struggle to capture their desired target market if brand personality is unclear. This often happens when individuals within management disagree about what the company should be and how it should be perceived.
This got me thinking, what brand do I have ultimate control over? My own personal brand was the only thing I could come up with.
It may seem ridiculous. You may not like the idea. But whether you like it or not, everyone has their own brand. Your brand is a combination of the way you act, how you talk and listen to people, the ideas you come up with, what you look like and what you're interested in.
To further enforce the importance of self-branding I thought to myself why do I like Kanye West?
1. His music's good and he knows his music's good
2. The man knows how to dress
3. He always does songs with Jay-Z- I love Jay-Z
4. He's dating Kim Kardashian – Great for entertainment purposes
In nearly any industry, it's the people who are most aware of their personal brand, and use it to their advantage that are the most successful. It's not necessarily the people that are the best at the job, but ones who can project they are. These geniuses know why people like working with them, and use that to their full advantage.
There is a whole industry based around self improvement from how to dress, talk and act successful. I'm still mastering the whole self-branding bit myself, but the more experienced I get, the more I realize how important it is.

It wasn't easy deciding what the first post on this blog should be, what with all the different topics, issues, problems, ideas and rants that fill my head when I think about globalisation. But then, after a little consideration, it wasn't too difficult either. The topic would have to centre on the business sector and the crucial role it plays in shaping our globalised world. As a matter of fact, there is nothing today more global than a Transnational Corporation (TNC), certainly more so than – say – the United Nations, with their post-WWII DNA eternally embedded in their very name.
It's been in particular a while since I wanted to throw around a few of my thoughts on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), a topic which I find endlessly fascinating, having tried (sometimes succeeded!) as a fundraiser to suck a little cash out of businesses in favour of warm and fuzzy NGO projects, and being generally very interested in that twilight zone that separates the for-profit from the not-for-profit world. According to Mallen Baker, Development Director for Business in the Community, whose website is hugely instructive on how enlightened businesses see their role in shaping a better world, CSR is about how companies manage the business processes to produce an overall positive impact on society. His arguments in defence of CSR, together with a number of conversations (mainly after large quantities of beer) with friends interested in the same topic, or even working within the business sector, led me to have second thoughts on my initially scheptical approach: what if businesses were not so bad after all? Maybe they've learnt from their mistakes… Maybe Ben & Jerry really do care about the fate of ALL ice, not just ice-cream…
Yeah, you spotted the irony. There is surely a case to be made against the business sector, and no one has made it better than Joel Bakan in The Corporation. On CSR, his position is very clear: it's not that these guys don't want to be socially and environmentally responsible, they simply can't. Well researched and well written, the book (and subsequent film) is so convincing in making the case of corporations as psychopaths that even the Economist has little to lash out at. Full stop. End of the debate. Except… Well, that final chapter by Noam Chomsky, calling the proletariat to arms to crush the American Empire that has allowed this psychopath to become a world menace, left a nauseous emptiness inside me – Chomsky often has this effect on my brain, not too dissimilar to the one burgers have on my stomach, which is why I have stopped reading the former and eating the latter. The fact is that, despite all the evidence brought by Bakan, he offers little solution to the current situation except a generic tightening of government regulations on the business sector. But in a progressively globalised world, if a TNC is unhappy with the governing regulations in – for example – Atlanta, it'll just pack up and move to Beijing. So far no one has been able to present a real alternative between top-down state policing and voluntary well-behaviour. This leaves us all – corporations, pressure groups, politicians, citizens and the planet – dissatisfied. Worse. It delivers us mummy-style wrapped in cello-tape into the hands of a psychopath.
As my friend Le Duc suggests:
- What is business all about? Is it the relentless accumulation of as much money as possible by whatever means that are just this side of legal? Or is it about a broader set of responsibilities in exchange of the extraordinary privilege of incorporation and limited liability?
There is no universal answer to this, because each business is different from another one, but John Elkington, founder of SustainAbility, seems to think a tilt from a 'compliance agenda' towards real corporate responsibility is inevitable, and puts his argument forward in Cannibals with Forks, which introduced us for the first time to the concept of 'triple bottom line'. Yet, he has just taken a keen interest in the social enterprise sector, and with a hefty grant from the Skoll Foundation (who would have thought…?) he's begun looking at the links between corporate responsibility, social entrepreneurship and sustainable development (his first podcast can be downloaded here). While admiring his technological youthfulness, I can't help wondering if this new interest has been sparked by a deeper, more sinister realisation about the limits of corporations. I am certainly looking forward to hearing how he comes to terms with the crucial difference between businesses and social enterprises, namely their opposite approach to the concept of profit.
The trial continues…

Sink your teeth into a top notch, yet affordable burger at Neil Perry's Burger Project, on the Grey Street side of Southpoint in South Brisbane.

Alternatively, chow down on a Fried Chicken Katsu, which is a burger filled with free range chicken, coleslaw, pickles, lettuce and katsu sauce.

Desserts are a crowd pleaser at Burger Project, with in-house freshly made soft serve which is created with fresh milk from the farm and natural flavourings.
Team your burger meal with a Valrhona chocolate thick shake, made with soft serve ice cream.

Remember all that leftover pork in your fridge from those delicious carnitas?? (If you have no idea what I'm talking about, see my last post…) It would be sinful to let that stuff go to waste. So…thanks to another incredible recipe from pinchofyum.com, here is my latest food creation: pork enchilada tamale pie.
- ⅔ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup yellow corn meal
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/2 can diced green chiles
- ⅓ cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1 can cream corn
- 2-3 cups leftover pork
- 1 cup red enchilada sauce
- 1 cup shredded white cheese (I used Pepperjack)
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Mix together the cornmeal, flour, salt, baking powder and sugar.
- Stir in the oil until the mixture makes soft crumbs. Whisk in the milk and egg. Add the cream corn and green chiles and stir until just combined.
- Bake in a 9-inch square pan for about 25 minutes. Remember it won't be completely dry like corn-bread because it's a tamale-like base. It'll be a little gooey…mmm.
- Poke holes in the crust and pour the enchilada sauce on top. Drain excess moisture out of the pork and arrange on top of the crust. Sprinkle with cheese.
- Reduce oven temperature to 350. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. When everything is heated through, remove foil and let bake for another 5-10 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Top with chopped cilantro, and pico de gallo. (see last post for recipe)

This picture is blurry because I had to move fast to take the one picture I was allotted on her first day of high school. She has survived the week. Currently she and 4 of her girlfriends are in the basement watching "Children of the Corn" and eating everything they can get their hands on. Earlier this week we went to "athletics night" where the athletic director admonished us not to bother the coaching staff. I was very impressed with her XC coach who has a passion for running and a no-nonsense attitude. He said something to this effect, "I tell them you don't train so it won't hurt, you train so you can deal with the pain." Growing up in the 80's track and field/cross-country was the "drip cup" of high school athletics--the football team garnered most of the attention and support. It is refreshing to see that this coach recognizes that running is THE hardest sport and expects commitment and hard work from his team.
I had plenty of time for cooking this week and made sesame leaf kimchi, pad thai, som tam, Indian food, bread, yogurt, chocolate pudding, Momofuku Milk Bar's grapefruit pie, chicken salad and roti buns. The sesame leaf kimchi is pictured below. It is probably an acquired taste for most. I have a glut of sesame leaves so it made sense for me. If you are interested you can find this recipe and many others on maangchi.com. I ordered a cavatelli maker because I saw David Chang using one on "The Mind of a Chef." It looked like a lot of fun, and it was only $35. I bought some berry drinking vinegar from Hmart and will attempt to make a shrub cocktail this weekend. We have been watching "Master Chef" on hulu--home cooks competing to win $250,000. Ridiculous with too much drama, but we are hooked.
Maddy sent me this platter for my birthday. It's my new favorite plate, complete with dragon. Maybe I will use it to serve Spam musubi at the party next weekend. I had a dream that I invited people over and there was nothing to eat. It was terrible. I think I pulled together a raw corn and tomato salad. I am happy that all the food for next weekend will be of the "do-ahead" variety. Sophie's first XC meet is that morning, and I don't want to be stuck at home in the kitchen.
Hope everyone has a great weekend BBQing and putting away those white shoes. Since I am on 24 hour call this coming holiday Monday, I am hoping it is "Labor Day" in name only.

"My Mama Said I Must Marry From Our Village" = Anambra Professional Footballer!
Now, when people get into relationships in other parts of the world, it is mainly for the sake of mutual love and understanding, and to help them build each other. This may not be the exact situation in Africa. Whenever two people of marriageable age come together in Nigeria, the major focus is not always on the mutual love enjoyed by both at the moment. More than 80 percent of Nigerian men and women go into relationships with a look at the long run, and therefore the ultimate aim is always marriage. This is why it is always imminent for your girlfriend of 6 months to 2 years to be of the firm belief that the next line of action should be to come to his people and pay his bride price. However, this may not be the case with Anambra men. The experience is completely different.
I came into Owerri on the second of February and started checking on old friends. I asked about a very close female friend and former school mate who have been dating a professional footballer from Anambra state for more than 4 years. The answer I got was more than appalling.
In the "African minds" of all of us, this relationship is ripe and is heading for marriage. The bond got even tighter when the man started giving the girl some hope of marrying her. However, the natural trend with Anambra men reared its head when he travelled home for Christmas holidays and had some tete a tete with his mother.
According to the girlfriend, he called her up on the 23rd of January and told her that "Mama anyi si na agam alu onye be anyi," meaning that his mama said that he must marry from their community. Now, one thing that is noticeable about this is the fact that this guy was so innocent that he couldn't find any lies to tell the girl. So, he had to lay bare the real reason exactly way it came from his people.
This got the girl so devastated that she has vowed never to do anything with Anambra men again. But this is not a one-off story. I have an Aunt that lived with a man from Ekwulobia in Aguata local government area for more than 5 years, only for the man to come up with stories of how his people told him that marriage between people of his community and ours has never worked. It was later discovered that the mother has already found a girl for her from their village.
The question is; what is really significant and special about marrying girls from people's close community. And, are those girls only good for marriage and not relationships. Yes, you cannot tell me that girls from every other part of the world make great dates, but only girls from your village in Anambra will make the perfect wife. Are these men marrying for themselves or for their mothers……………? Let us know in the comment box below.

AC System Service And Component Replacement
In my earlier hub How to start an auto restore shop3 I mentioned the significance of having passion for the mechanical work itself and methods to achieve new customers and extra importantly, learn how to hold them.

No one could have missed the reoccurring term "Austrain economics" so often referred to by pres2012-hopeful Ron Paul (bottom guy in right figure) during his campaign. Apparently, using this tool one is able to identify economic bubbles so clearly as even to foresee an economic collapse - much like Ron Pail did a few years back. Even the mass media has given him credit for this. What is this magical tool then? My first step into the Austrian wild began today with the 24 page Mises and Austrian Economics: A Personal View by the doctor him self. Like David at the toe of Goliath I end with a quote from Ludwig von Mises (gray scale guy in figure to the right):
Everyone carries a part of society on his shoulders; no one is
relieved of his share of responsibility by others. And no one can
find a safe way out for himself if society is sweeping towards
destruction. Therefore everyone, in his own interests, must thrust
himself vigorously into the intellectual battle. None can stand
aside with unconcern; the interests of everyone hang on the
result. Whether he chooses or not, every man is drawn into the
great historical struggle, the decisive battle into which our epoch
has plunged us.
I think it is time to drop the remote control people.

Here's the start of the CGXchange section of the ICT-KM blog. It features news, posts, comments and musings about online collaboration, networking and how Web technology can support the sharing of information and knowledge inside and outside of the CGIAR.
The idea is to cover and offer for comments what goes on around these themes. CGXchange is the name of the collaboration platform of the CGIAR (read project details), but there's more to it than just the tech. It's about understanding the needs of staff who are working across the physical boundaries of their offices, about exploring new tools in support of managing work and sharing information, about figuring out how technology changes the way we work and makes it more effective and efficient.
Technology is a moving target (have you ever heard that?) and it's necessary to keep an eye on the way it is evolving, what's new in the field and what other tools can support the way work changes. And lately the talk of the town is all around Web 2.0. So here's the excuse for starting this blog.
I'm at the Italian Information Architecture Summit, in Trento, as a member of the Scientific Board, and co-presenter for tomorrow's presentation "The Web2Architect" that Chris Addison will deliver about the Euforic Web site.
Why am I here? First and foremost because I remain an information architect at heart, and second because the case Chris will present is a very good practical example of how to create a Web presence on the basis of Web 2.0 tools. What are the challenges? What stays the same and what is radically changed? How do you need to get organised to maintain a Web site where most of the content is out there, with little control on it? And why go this way?
Chris, Pier Andrea Pirani and I met at Web2forDev last September in Rome. They presented the Euforic site as a case of extensive application of Web 2.0 tools to building an online presence and delivering their information services. While they were talking, it started to dawn on me that much of what they were discussing had an information architecture implication: content generation and classification, increasing the reach of their information, cooperative approaches to search. Instead of building a one-stop shop, they are putting their content out there, all over the place, and increasing the reach and visibility of their own and member's content.
So I proposed to Chris and Pier to put an information architecture angle onto their case study and present it to the Italian IA Summit. And here we are ready to go (to Peter van Dijck session for now… blog + consultancy blog on Global IA)

114. wheat orange cookies
I simply love baking. The cookie bug has caught up with me and I have been baking cookies nearly everyday. Don't get me wrong…. not the same recipe but different recipes which have been in my recipe book for eons. I baked some of the cookies for my relatives in Nairobi and they loved them. So here is the first recipe. Meera, bake these for your family, they are very easy. I have not taken out the cup measurement for the butter as transferring the soft butter to a cup is a messy job. I prefer to use the weighing scales for this. However, if you get 250g butter packets like we do here in Kenya, its very easy… half of that is required for the recipe. For all my local friends, I am taking orders for the cookies and muffins as I cannot bake all these goodies and have them on my own.
Updated: 26/10/2017
Since I posted this recipe, my cookie business didn't last that long. I guess people prefer to buy the cheap processed, chemical infused, palm oil filled cookies. They found my home made cookies too expensive.If I'd been living in Nairobi then I probably would have a successful cookie business. People in Mombasa are just too conservative.
Anyway that's water under the bridge. I've baked these particular cookies countless times. I just love the flavor of orange in them. I've also sometimes added nuts, raisins, other dried fruits and just recently when I baked these to give away as Diwali presents I added dried cranberries. I've sometimes used tangerine instead of orange. Its only this time when I baked them that I remembered to take fresh photos… I felt so ashamed with the first click I had taken, it was just really bad!
Go on bake these easy peasy tasty cookies and no don't look for the first click… its deleted…its history:)
Yields about 30 pieces
2¼ cups wheat flour (atta)
125g butter
1 tsp grated orange peel
½ cup sugar
½ tsp soda bicarbonate (baking soda)
½ tsp baking powder
¼ cup fresh orange juice
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Sieve the flour with the baking powder and soda bicarbonate.
- Cream butter and sugar till it is pale in colour and fluffy.
- Add the orange juice and grated peel. Whisk well.
- Add the flour and using your hands make a dough.
- Divide the dough into 30 parts or so.
- Roll each part into a ball. Flatten it a bit between your palms.
- Place on a greased baking tray.Leave half an inch gap between the cookies. Repeat steps 7 and 8 with the remaining dough.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or till the edges begin to brown.
- Leave the cookies on the hot tray for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes remove them from the tray and let it cool on a wire rack.
- Can use brown sugar.
- Instead of orange try lemon juice and grated lemon peel.
- If you like, you can flatten the cookie dough using a fork. The cookies will turn out flat and not dome shaped.
- Add ¼ cup of chopped nuts or chocolate chips.
- Wash and grate the peel before you take out the juice. Make sure you do not grate the white part as it is bitter. Save the extra zest or grated peel and store in the freezer to use for other baking recipes or for salads.

City birds 'cope better in cold' than those in woodland
Urban breeding birds fared better than their woodland counterparts during 2012's cold, wet weather for the first time in 10 years, a study has found.
Blue and great tits in a woodland area were compared with those in Cambridge.
Researchers found urban birds relied less on a single source of food, such as caterpillars, whose numbers are affected by cold weather.
Woodland birds also bred less during the cold spell in 2012, said the Anglia Ruskin University study.
It was carried out in conjunction with the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (CEH).
The British Trust for Ornithology (BTO) referred to 2012 as "one of the worst breeding seasons on record" following poor results in its annual surveys of nests and fledglings.
'Urban advantage'
The latest study concluded birds living in native British woodland were "more susceptible to the effects of extreme weather conditions than those in urban environments".
Birds at Brampton Wood nature reserve - a traditional British woodland - typically "fared significantly better" in the past, and bred more successfully than those studied at Cambridge University Botanic Garden in the centre of Cambridge.
However, for the first time in the 10 years their breeding habits have been monitored, those at Brampton laid fewer eggs and hatched and fledged fewer chicks than those in the city.
The chicks in Brampton also took almost twice as long to hatch as those in the Botanic Garden nests - 32 days as opposed to 17.
Anglia Ruskin's Dr Nancy Harrison described the hatching delay as "unprecedented" during the study period.
The cold weather played a "key role" in caterpillar reproduction and growth, reducing numbers and in turn reducing the main food source for the woodland birds, she said.
"Urban scavenger" blue and great tits living in towns were used to foraging for other prey, so were not as adversely affected by a shortage of caterpillars, Dr Harrison added.
"If these extreme weather events become more commonplace [as a result of] the effects of climate change, then birds living in urban environments may have the advantage," she said.
