How to Introduce a New Employee to Your Corporate Culture
Corporate culture means the environment in which your employees spend their time. Introduce your business's corporate culture to a new employee by following these tips, which can help you introduce your business to a new employee in a motivating way:
Think like a tour guide. Point out subtle features, such as how coworkers prefer to communicate (whether through scheduled meetings, voicemail, e-mail, and so on); how the staff has fun together (for example, monthly birthday celebrations); and how employees respond to one another's problems and crises (perhaps a team will drop everything to pitch in when someone needs help).
By sharing this type of information, you speak volumes about shared values.
Let the new hire be a shadow. During the first week, focus less on having the new employee do his or her job and more on letting the individual find out what others do. The most effective approach is to have the new hire shadow several coworkers for a few hours or a day. They meet a lot of people, learn about work flows, and gain an understanding of each person or department's function.
Involve long-time employees as mentors. If you're unable to escort the newcomer through the first week or two on the job, ask one or two veteran employees to be mentors. Their role will be to help the new arrival settle in and become acquainted with your company's people and processes. In addition, the mentor will be the designated go-to person when the new employee has questions or problems.
Do a daily meeting. For the first few days, meet with the employee for half an hour before going home. Encourage him or her to share impressions and ask questions.

Why are there no driver CD or some tool to automatically install drivers? We are behind company firewall and there is .exe download restrictions in firewall, so we cannot download drivers easily.
We need drivers because there is custom Xp company image that we need to install into our T410. Beyond that model probably changes within month or so.
There are a couple of ways to obtain drivers for Lenovo ThinkPads:
1) Drivers can be downloaded directly from www.lenovo.com/support by navigating to the particular family of system.
2) ThinkVantage System Update can be used to automatically install your drivers:
Additionally, customers can use Rescue and Recovery to burn their own recovery disks, or recovery media can be purchased for approximately $45 through support. Driver only disks are not provided since the ongoing distribution and logistics costs would be high, and because driver levels are periodically updated.
how can we improve it?

Although more commonly associated with women, osteoporosis, or low bone density, should be a concern for men as well. Bones are in a constant state of remodeling in response to the demands placed upon them. This means that processes that breakdown and build bone are constantly at work. In youth, the process favors building. Certain medicines, diseases, an inactive lifestyle, and poor nutrition can cause the destructive process to outperform the building as we age. This can lead to weak bones and fractures. Although the fractures often occur later in life, bone loss can begin much earlier. Physical activity is known to help stimulate bone and decrease the rate of bone loss.
Researchers from Curtin University examined if a particular type of activity was more beneficial in increasing bone density in men. The study, published in International Osteoporosis, found that a basic activity like walking may be as effective as strength training in increasing bone density in men.
About the Study
The randomized trial included 143 men, aged 55-80 years. The men were assigned to either one hour of resistance training (weight lifting) or 30 minutes of walking three times per week. The hip bone mineral density was tested on the men at the beginning of the trial and after 12 months of training. Researchers also measured other fitness elements, such as lean body mass (level of muscle tissue), fitness levels, and lower limb strength. After 12 months, both groups had increases in hip bone mineral density. There was no significant difference in bone density gains between the groups. However, resistance training was also associated with increases in:
- Lean body mass
- Fitness level
- Lower limb strength
How Does This Affect You?
In men, strength training appears to have a wider range of benefits than basic activities, such as walking, but both activities appear to be beneficial for maintaining healthy bone density. Doing regular physical activity appears to be the most important factor, rather than the specific activity you are doing.
The Center for Disease Control (CDC) activity guidelines for health benefits recommend 150-300 minutes of cardiovascular activity (like walking) per week and resistance training at least two days per week. For bone density benefits, the cardiovascular activity should be weight-bearing, such as walking or jogging. If you are just becoming active, adding a daily walk can be a safe and effective way to start. As you progress, think about adding strength training to increase the health benefits and to keep your routine fresh.

Running off the very same Red Lithium battery which charges Milwaukee's power tools, this heated jacket can hold a charge for eight hours. That's a full working day of cozy heat, spread across three carbon fiber heating zones.
It's probably one for those who lead active lives away from the TV and computer, but you know what? Huddled up against my heater, wrapped in a blanket, I'm thinking it could suit a blogger very well too. Get it now, for around $130 from Amazon or $119 from The Home Depot. [Uncrate]

Original Trinity Hymnal, #409
Before thee, God, who knowest all,
With grief and shame I prostrate fall.
I see my sins against thee, Lord,
The sins of thought, of deed, and word.
They press me sore: I cry to thee:
O God, be merciful to me!
O Lord, my God, to thee I pray:
O cast me not in wrath away!
Let thy good Spirit ne'er depart,
But let him draw to thee my heart
That truly penitent I be:
O God, be merciful to me!
O Jesus, let thy precious blood
Be to my soul a cleansing flood.
Turn not, O Lord, thy guest away,
But grant that justified I may
Go to my house at peace with thee:
O God, be merciful to me!

The cross-county rivalry Morgan County fans have all been waiting for is finally here. Tonight, the Digger Dome in Brush will be packed with electricity as the Fort Morgan Mustangs and Brush Beetdiggers battle it out, with both launching their fall season openers as the action begins.
The always gripping gridiron rivalry between the squads will prove to be another one for the books this year, as the overall win-loss record is set at 13-12, with Brush breaking in one historical win over Fort Morgan since the match-ups began in 1989. A win for the Mustangs will set the record at an even 13-13 and will break a four-win streak by the Diggers.
The Mustangs haven't brought in a victory over Brush since 2009 and last time the Stangs downed the Diggers in Brush was back in 2008 when Fort Morgan blanked Brush 8-0.
"The Fort Morgan game will be a tough one," noted Brush head coach Randy Dreitz as his Diggers began preseason practices. "They have a lot of talent and a big group of younger kids in the program that will also prove tough to contend with. We get them at home, but it will be a battle. Hopefully we'll get a good crowd to come out and both teams will walk away with no injuries."
For Mustangs head coach Harrison Chisum, the sentiment was reiterated as Brush has often boasted a big game in the Morgan Mania Showdown.
"The Brush game is always one of our better match-ups," said Chisum as he takes the Mustang reins for a ninth year. "They are always very well coached and they play hard."
Fans, families and boosters alike will once again provide some pre-game party supplies to help pack in county spectators. Beginning at 5 p.m. tonight, Cargill will host a tailgate party for the Brush and Fort Morgan faithful, at Beedigger Stadium. They urge all to come out early, get in some good food, good fun and good football.
Tickets for the showdown will cost $5 for adults and $4 for seniors and students.

Inquiry Question
Reading 3: Selected Ships' Histories
As the years went by, age took its toll on the Liberty and Victory ships. Many ships became too expensive to operate; insurance companies did not want to cover these old merchant ships. In most cases, they were sold for scrap. The reserve fleet was also being sold for scrap. What was once a proud fleet was now down to a precious few vessels. Some historic preservation and veterans organizations became interested in these ships and a handful were saved from the ship breakers. The following are the histories of five of these ships that have been preserved as floating museums to honor their service to the United States and to honor the mariners who sailed upon them.
The Liberty Ship SS Jeremiah O'Brien
The keel (the bottom beam or plate juncture that runs the length of a ship) for the SS Jeremiah O'Brien was laid at the New England Shipbuilding Corporation, in South Portland, Maine on May 6, 1943. She was launched on June 19, 1943. The ship was owned by the federal government and operated by Grace Line, Inc. For the next year, the ship carried ammunition and grain, as well as other dry cargo. In June 1944, the Jeremiah O'Brien supported the D-Day invasions by ferrying supplies between Great Britain and Normandy, France 11 times.
After the war, plans were made to transfer the ship to the U.S. Army for conversion to a hospital ship. The conversion never occurred and the ship was "mothballed" at the reserve fleet near San Francisco. In 1966, the U.S. Maritime Administration wanted to preserve a Liberty ship and chose the Jeremiah O'Brien. The ship was designated a National Historic Landmark (NHL) in 1986. NHLs are nationally significant historic places designated by the Secretary of the Interior because they illustrate the heritage of the United States. Over the years, the ship was restored and is now a museum in San Francisco, CA. She is only one of two Liberty ships still operational. The ship participated in the 50th anniversary of the D-day landings in 1994.
The Liberty Ship SS John W. Brown
After being launched, the ship sailed to New York and departed on its maiden voyage on September 29, 1942 carrying supplies to the Middle East. In 1943, the ship was converted to carry troops as well as cargo. Later, the John W. Brown supported combat operations in the Mediterranean Sea. The ship was involved in the Allied landings at Sicily and Anzio in Italy, and southern France. After the war ended in Europe, the John W. Brown carried U.S. military personnel home.
In 1947, the Maritime Commission loaned the ship to New York City to use as a training vessel for high school students interested in maritime jobs. However, it became too expensive to run the school, and the ship was returned to the Maritime Commission and put into storage with the reserve fleet on the James River in Virginia. Historic preservation groups, including Project Liberty Ship and the Baltimore Museum of History (MD), wanted to protect the ship and it was transferred to them to turn into a museum in Baltimore, MD. She is one of only two Liberty ships still operational.
The Victory Ship SS American Victory
After the war, the ship was used by the American Export Lines carrying cargo in support of the Marshall Plan, a U.S. economic diplomacy plan to help rebuild Western Europe after the war. On one of its many voyages, the American Victory was caught by ice in Odessa, Russia. Rather than wait for an ice breaker to clear the shipping lanes, the captain of the American Victory used her to break the ice!
In 1947, the American Victory was put into the reserve fleet. In 1952, the ship was brought out of "mothballs" to carry military supplies in support of the Korean conflict. After the Korean War, she was again sent to the reserve fleet. In 1963, the Navy planned to convert 15 Victory ships, among them the American Victory, as forward depot ships. These ships would be loaded with supplies and ammunition and placed around the world to support American troops if needed. However, the Navy canceled the plan in 1966 and that same year, the American Victory was again brought out of "mothballs" to support the Vietnam War. She carried military vehicles, telephone poles, explosives, and bombs.
In 1969, she was again put in the reserve fleet. In 1999, the American Victory was acquired by a preservation group and turned into a museum in Tampa, FL.
The Victory Ship SS Lane Victory
In 1950, the Lane Victory was used to evacuate Korean civilians and U.N. personnel at Wonsan, South Korea during the Korean War. The ship also saw duty during the Vietnam War. In 1970, the ship was placed in the reserve fleet. Because of her excellent condition, the Maritime Administration decided to set aside the Lane Victory for preservation. In 1988, the Lane Victory was acquired by the U.S. Merchant Marine Veterans of World War II and turned into a museum in San Pedro, CA. In 1990, the ship was designated a National Historic Landmark.
The Victory Ship SS Red Oak Victory
In January 1945, after sea trials, she loaded over 10,000 tons of ammunition from the Port Chicago Ammunition Depot, Concord, California and departed for Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. In February 1945, she steamed to a remote area of the South Pacific called Ulithi Atoll where the worlds largest formation of Allied forces had amassed for the invasion of Japan. From March to May 1945, the USS Red Oak Victory (AK-235) replenished numerous vessels of the Pacific fleet. From June to October 1945, she supported the liberation of the Philippine Islands. In November 1945, she headed home to Seattle, Washington were she was decommissioned on May 21, 1946 and returned back to the U.S. Maritime Commission.
In May 1947, she was leased to the Luckenbach Gulf Steamship Company, Seattle, Washington. She made several voyages, most notably supporting the UN forces engaged in the Korean War with military cargo. From 1957 to 1965 she was in storage by the U.S. Maritime Commission. In December 1965, she was leased to the American Mail Lines and until December 1968, supported U.S. forces engaged in the Vietnam War. She was placed back into storage until September 1998, where she was obtained by the Richmond Museum Association to be restored back to her original operational launch condition. Today, the Red Oak Victory is an integral part of the Rosie the Riveter/World War II Home Front National Historical Park.
Questions for Reading 3
1. What was some of the cargo these ships carried?
2. Looking at a world map or atlas, locate some of the places to which each of these ships carried cargo. Does this give you a better appreciation for the mission of the seamen who served in the Merchant Marine? Why or why not?
3. Unlike the Liberty ships, which were built to be expendable, the Victory ships were designed to last for at least 20 years after being built. What examples can you find in the reading to support this?
4. Of the thousands of Liberty and Victory ships built, only a few remain. Why do you think it is important to preserve these ships?

RICHMOND, Va. – The campuses of VCU and the University of Virginia are located less than 75 miles apart.
That makes next week's trip not only a great one, but a quick one as both of the Black & Gold's tennis squads earned at-large NCAA Tournament berths and will both play in Charlottesville. The men's team will take on Wake Forest on Friday, May 13, while the women will battle N.C. State on Saturday, May 14.
"I'm happy for all of our players and our coaches because it's a rewarding feeling after putting in so much hard work throughout the year," Head Coach Paul Kostin said. "We have tough opponents for both the men and the women, so we really need to come focused and playing our top game to have a chance to advance."
For the men (22-6), it will be their 18th NCAA Tournament bid in the past 19 years, while the women (19-5) will be making their sixth consecutive postseason appearance and 12th overall.
While the basketball team's deep postseason run was something of historical proportions, the tennis squads are no stranger to postseason success. The men's squad played for the national championship in 2000, while the women reached the Elite Eight in 2002.
"There's a reason only 48 teams make this tournament, it's the best of the best," Kostin said. "Every team is good and if you want to have a chance to keep playing, you have to be at your best."
Both teams will be seeking revenge in their first round match-ups. Back on Feb. 13, the men's team traveled down to Wake Forest and dropped a tough 6-1 decision, while the women were defeated 5-2 in a road match at N.C. State.
10 a.m. Wake Forest (13-11) vs. VCU (22-6) [men's first round]
1 p.m. Virginia (29-0) vs. Sacred Heart (16-7) [men's first round]
10 a.m. NC State (15-8) vs. VCU (19-5) [women's first round]
1 p.m. Virginia (18-7) vs. Army (13-11) [women's first round]
4 p.m. Men's Second Round
1 p.m. Women's Second Round

LPAC Basement Team Presents at 4th International Specialized Symposium: Space & Global Security of Humanity
15 September 2012
Two members of the LaRouchePAC "Basement" research team participated in the IGMASS-sponsored Fourth International Specialized Symposium: Space and Global Security of Humanity, in Yevpatoria, Crimea, September 3-6. The conference brought together a variety of speakers from many countries, to discuss ongoing efforts to use space technologies and space science to serve a safety role for mankind. This included disaster forecasting (such as earthquakes), space threats (such as asteroids, comets, and solar storms), as well the organizational capability, both technical and political, to share such data for the well-being of all nations. The LaRouchePAC representatives, Jason Ross and Benjamin Deniston, brought a political urgency to the conference: they developed the potential for cooperation against space threats as a sound basis for international relations, the unique economic approach of Lyndon LaRouche for understanding the value of science, and the necessity to bring mankind to a higher energy-flux density "platform" to deal with space and economic threats. Ben Deniston's presentation can be found here and Jason Ross' presentation here, further reports will be forthcoming, pending translation work.

I would rather have been able to resolve this before leaving this negative review. Poor quality and printing. The printing PER ARDUA AD ASTRA is damaged (as per photo). Also the Royal Air Force part is not the gold it should be. I am disappointed with the poor quality and not worth the $54 paid for it.

She started painting in 2003 and quickly became immersed in the process. In her paintings, whether it is a tree, a rock or a mountain, the subject becomes alive with distinct personality. Often, the result is accidental which makes it all the more joyous. Her free and loose style conveys movement and energy, and an impression of the spiritual essence in the ordinary.

By now, most have read the Deposition of the Infamous Erica Johnson Seck. This is the homeowner Israel Machado speaking out about his foreclosure.
Thank you Ice Legal!
LOXAHATCHEE, Fla.—Israel Machado's foreclosure started out as a routine affair. In the summer of 2008, as the economy began to soften, Mr. Machado's pool-cleaning business suffered and like millions of other Americans, he fell behind on his $400,000 mortgage.
But Mr. Machado's response was unlike most other Americans'. Instead of handing his home over to the lender, IndyMac Bank FSB, he hired Ice Legal LP in nearby Royal Palm Beach to fight the foreclosure. The law firm researched the history of Mr. Machado's loan and found two interesting facts.
First, the affidavits IndyMac used to file the foreclosure were signed by a so-called robo-signer named Erica A. Johnson-Seck, who routinely signed 6,000 documents a week related to foreclosures and bankruptcy. That volume, the court decided, meant Ms. Johnson-Seck couldn't possibly have thoroughly reviewed the facts of Mr. Machado's case, as required by law.
Secondly, IndyMac (now called OneWest Bank) no longer owned the loan—a group of investors in a securitized trust managed by Deutsche Bank did. Determining that IndyMac didn't really have standing to foreclose, a judge threw out the case and ordered IndyMac to pay Mr. Machado's $30,000 legal bill.
Mr. Machado and his lawyer, Tom Ice, say they now want to convince the owners of the mortgage to cut Mr. Machado's loan balance to between $150,000 and $200,000—the current selling price for comparable homes in his community near West Palm Beach. "The whole intent was to get them to come to the negotiating table, to get me in a fixed-rate mortgage that worked," Mr. Machado said.

Have some chicken soup.
There's no randomized trial to refer to, just centuries of motherly wisdom to heed. Chicken soup is more than just a generational myth, however, since it contains carnosine, which has been shown in at least one recent study to block some of the virus-induced inflammation caused by the common cold. The increased hydration that comes with consuming the soup certainly helps and, besides, it tastes good, too. Sorry, vegetarians, but the highest concentrations of carnosine are found in muscle tissue, like chicken breast!

Kitchen utensils of all types, from eggbeaters to bowls, are collected today. Handmade wooden and metal items, like ladles and apple peelers, were made in the early nineteenth century. Mass-produced pieces, like iron apple peelers and graniteware, were made in the nineteenth century. Late 20th-century refrigerators, stoves, and other large appliances can be dated by their color and style.

The calculus on "Two and a Half Men" might be changing.
Charlie Sheen, the star of the popular CBS sitcom, is reportedly telling close friends he's quitting the show after this season, according to People.com.
"Charlie's just done," People quotes a source on the set as saying. "And he's quietly telling his friends he's not coming back."
According to Access Hollywood, any possibility of his departure would be over money -- not personal issues.
The star, already the highest-paid actor on television at $987,000 an episode, was asking for $2 million per episode, Access Hollywood reported. He was offered $1.2 million but he turned it down.
If Sheen does leave, it will mark an abrupt end to a successful stint for the actor who has had many highs and lows in his career. Since Christmas, Sheen's private life was been thrown into disarray following an alleged domestic violence incident with his wife.
Sheen's contract with the show will expire after the April 9th taping and network officials were hopeful the actor would sign on for an eighth season.
"He wants to move on," a friend of the actor told People. "Leaving is 100 percent his idea."
His contract will end after the taping of this season's 22nd episode. Stan Rosenfield, Sheen's representative, told People his client's deal is "only through this current season" but would not address the reports of his departure.
A CBS spokesperson said the network doesn't comment on ongoing contract matters.
Sheen has pleaded not guilty to domestic violence charges after he allegedly got into a fight with his wife Brooke Mueller on Christmas. He has threatening her with a knife at a vacation home in Aspen, Colorado. A trial date has been set for July 21st.
He voluntarily entered rehab in February -- but continued to work the show.

Those of you who follow me on Twitter or Facebook already know that my 5th Gen iPod finally conked out. I've had that for … gosh, I can't remember how long. It's been with me almost everywhere including trips to Seattle, WA, Ontario, CA, Phoenix, AZ, Disneyworld and the shores of North Carolina, not to mention my daily commute and other, more local excursions.
My iPod died on the way home from my last trip to Phoenix, which rendered the plane ride much more entertaining since I was forced to deal with the background buzz of the other passengers. You know, there are certain topics which shouldn't be discussed on an airplane, folks!
|Alpine iDA-X100 from crutchfield.com
The silence in the morning is deafening, to coin a phrase. I hear every rattle, hum and squeak that my truck makes while driving to and from work. I hate it.
I would try the radio, but we already know where that got me. So, I'm stuck. I am probably going to buy a refurbished iPod since the newer models don't work with the Alpine iDA-X100 radio that I installed in the truck a few years ago.
Then, last night, Mrs. Kharmin and I were going to enjoy some microwave popcorn and settle down to an episode or two of Farscape on Netflix. As the popcorn was just getting started, and I was firing up the Wii to access Netflix, the microwave started giving off a loud buzzing noise. I looked across the room and sparks were arcing all over inside the microwave.
|Pilot! Save the microwave!
I ran across the room and quickly shut it off. When I opened the door, a mixture of popcorn and electrical ozone odors wafted out. Not trusting the microwave any further, I unplugged it and with much sadness informed Mrs. Kharmin of the unit's demise.
This microwave had been given to us as a wedding gift almost 20 years ago. It had lasted through our apartment, townhouse and our single family home. It replaced the kitchen microwave a few years ago when that one gave up the proverbial ghost. It has been a staple of our lives in that it has been with us from the beginning where few things in our house have.
Two electronic devices, that I touched last, died. Perhaps there is some weird electro-magnetic field surrounding me that I encountered while in the air en route to Arizona? Or maybe it's just my electric personality?
I hope for the latter.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States has brought first-of-its kind cyber-espionage charges against five Chinese military officials accused of hacking into U.S. companies to gain trade secrets.
The indictment accuses the hackers of targeting the U.S. nuclear power, metals and solar products industries. The alleged victims are brand-name companies including Alcoa and Westinghouse.
The indictment includes allegations of trade secret theft and economic espionage.
Attorney General Eric Holder and other federal law enforcement officials were announcing the indictments later Monday. Holder says in a statement that the U.S. will not tolerate foreign government efforts to sabotage American companies.

Celebrating World Food Day around the world
14 October 2005, Rome - World Food Day is celebrated every year on October 16 to mark the anniversary of the founding of FAO in 1945.
The World Food Day theme this year, "Agriculture and intercultural dialogue", recalls the contribution of different cultures to world agriculture.
Civilization is founded on agriculture. Throughout history, the intercultural movement of crops and livestock breeds revolutionized diets, improved nutrition and reduced poverty.
Africa gave the world coffee, now a popular beverage worldwide. Asia domesticated rice which became the staple food for over half of the world's population. Wheat from the Middle East became the dominant crop in North America and Europe. The potato brought from South America by the Spanish "Conquistadores" in the sixteenth century became the main staple food for millions in Europe and elsewhere.
The World Food Day theme also recalls that intercultural dialogue is a precondition for progress against hunger and environmental degradation, the history of agriculture being full of examples of important intercultural exchanges, FAO said.
Intercultural dialogue between developing countries facing similar food and agriculture problems is an important way of sharing expertise and technologies. Intercultural exchanges in the field of agriculture also take place at international meetings and trade negotiations. They help to create interaction and synergies between countries and nations.
In Rome, the World Food Day ceremony on Sunday (16 October) at FAO headquarters includes an address by FAO Director-General Dr. Jacques Diouf and a speech by Italy's Minister of Agricultural and Forestry Policies Mr Gianni Alemanno. A Civil Society Forum on the WFD theme will be held in the afternoon.
Three new Goodwill Ambassadors
At the same ceremony, FAO Director-General Diouf will introduce the newly appointed FAO Goodwill Ambassadors: Paraguay's First Lady Ms María Gloria Penayo de Duarte, to be nominated first Extraordinary Ambassador of FAO; world athletics champion (discus throw) Beatrice Faumuina (New Zealand) and Irish singer Ronan Keating.
Paraguay's First Lady is a strong supporter of FAO's campaigns against hunger, malnutrition and food insecurity in Latin America. She believes that "hunger is one of the most violent forms of aggression against human rights".
In her country, Ms Penayo de Duarte has played an active role in various social, health and human development programmes in favour of women, vulnerable people and street children in Asunción and other parts of Paraguay, with particular attention to families living in extreme poverty.
She has backed several agricultural and food security initiatives, in particular a national soymilk production project to improve livelihoods in rural areas; an integrated development programme at community level and a mental health project.
Ms Faumuina is the first woman of the entire Southwest Pacific region to win a World Championship title. In 1997 in Athens, she struck gold at the discus throw.
Winner of the 1998 and 2002 Commonwealth Games, the 2002 International Association of Athletics Federations World Cup and seventh at the 2004 Olympic Games, Faumuina set eleven New Zealand discus throw records from 1993 to 1997. She was recently awarded the title of Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit for her services to Athletics.
Irish singer Ronan Keating was 18 when he made his debut. Now, after ten years, he is still in the public eye. His songs "Life is a rollercoaster", "When you say nothing at all", "Father and son", and "If tomorrow never comes" have become classics.
In June 2004, Ronan made a trip that was to change his life. He visited farmers and families in Ghana and other developing countries and was shocked at the sight of poverty and how unfair trade laws were destroying livelihoods.
Ronan already supports many charities and set up his own (Marie Keating Foundation) after he lost his mother to cancer in 1998.
"This isn't about people at home putting their hands in their pockets," Ronan says. "This is about joining a campaign to get our government to use their position on the IMF, the World Bank and WTO to change things."
Since 1999, FAO Goodwill Ambassadors contribute to FAO's mission by helping to put the spotlight on the problem of hunger.

Cervélo - Pooley wins GP de Plouay as Team captures World Cup
After a great victory last year in Plouay, Emma Pooley (GBR) came back to France with the best memories and took her second win in a row in the French World Cup race. The two-time Olympic Time Trial Champion claimed the victory on a challenging six lap circuit (each 19.1 km), with more than a minute lead ahead of Marianne Vos (NED) and Emma Johansson from Sweden. Cervélos Charlotte Becker (GER) also made it into the top 10 in sixth place. The podium this year is exactly the same as the 2009 edition of the race.
With todays ninth and the last World Cup race of the 2010 season the women of Cervélo TestTeam have now clinched the World Cup Team ranking with five victories to their credit.
It is just amazing this victory. Actually I didnt expect that but the course and terrain of western France seems to fit me, said the double winner Pooley. We were a group of four riders coming into the final lap. As I am not so strong in sprints I tried my luck at the Côte de Kerihuel and attacked but Marianne Vos was still on my wheels on the top. So I attacked again at Ty Marrec and this time I was able get away and pushed hard on the final kilometers for the victory. It is great to win here in Plouay again.
The GP de Plouay is always a challenge, commented Egon van Kessel, Sports Director of Cervélo TestTeam. Our tactic was to make the race hard with a lot of attacks and the team worked it perfectly. We were in several breaks during the race with Lizzie Armitstead (GBR), Sharon Laws (GBR), Charlotte Becker and finally Emma Pooley. Pooley caught the final break with Marianne Vos, Judith Arndt (GER) and Emma Johansson. That group had a gap of four minutes heading into the final lap. Emma performed magnificently with a strong attack that gave her the solo win. Im really happy with todays victory and also wish to congratulate all our riders for the overall win of the Team World Cup ranking.

|Blu-ray Releases For December 15th, 2009
|Monday, 14 December 2009
The second week of December is a pretty good one for Blu-ray releases. Inglourious Basterds may be a spell checker's worst nightmare, but it marks another strong showing for Quentin Tarantino. Brad Pitt excels as the foul mouthed Aldo Raine and a few comedy players make strong dramatic showings. Read on to see more Blu-ray titles coming out this week:
The Hangover , which enjoyed unexpectedly huge box office numbers, also comes to Blu-ray this week. It's everything you could want in a sort of "guy's night out" comedy and more. Bradley Cooper and Ed Helms star, but Zach Galifianakis steals the show.
Other titles include:
- Basilisk: The Complete Series

Space and science meet online for youngsters
What happens when your experiment gets over 30 000 views online? Tomorrow's space explorers were awarded an out-of-this-world scientific exchange with astronauts on the International Space Station last Wednesday.
Youngsters from Europe, the Middle East and Africa were invited to the European Astronaut Centre in Cologne, Germany, for a live chat with ESA astronaut André Kuipers and NASA astronaut Don Pettit.
The prize was well-deserved: only 21 videos out of the 2000 submitted made it to the regional final of the YouTube Space Lab competition.
The students had to squeeze scientific demonstrations into just two minutes of video and suggest what would happen in space with an identical experiment. The videos have been viewed over 50 million times.
This educational initiative supported by ESA "Gives ordinary kids an extraordinary opportunity to make reality greater than fiction," says Zahaan Bharmal of Google and founder of the Space Lab campaign. He shared the thrill of his first call to the Space Station with the students.
The future depends on you
André and Don answered questions from the finalists, and demonstrated the privilege of working in the world's largest weightless laboratory on a wide range of scientific fields.
After André relieved doubts about risks related to human physiology in space, Don assured the students that, "Exploration is going to depend on you, on what you want to do with your own future."
Global finalist Amr Mohamed, an 18-year-old student from Alexandria, Egypt, will see how spiders catch their prey in microgravity.
On the ground, ESA astronaut Frank De Winne challenged Amr: "If it took me around two months to fully adapt to weightlessness, how long will the spider need to learn how to jump on its target?" The answer will come this autumn, when Amr's experiment is conducted on the Space Station.
Other finalists came up with innovative ideas to send to the Station as well, involving yeast-powered space travel, alcohol production and magnets.
In some cases, it took the young scientists three weeks to research and set up their experiments. For others, like Harry and Jack, five minutes before a physics class were enough to film their idea.
Scientists and astronauts were impressed by the variety of ideas and the different backgrounds of the participants. "Sometimes I had to stop the video and reflect on the experiment!" admitted Martin Zell, ESA's Head of ISS Utilisation and Astronaut Support.
After a hands-on tour of Europe's astronaut training facilities, there was no doubt that space fuels students' fascination for science, technology, engineering and mathematics. "This space experience will stick in their minds forever," concludes Martin.

Anything hot sounds good just about now. Make it chocolate and you almost forget the mind-numbing cold.What follows is a sampling of where to go for a warm, "hug in a mug" -- hot chocolate delights that warm frosty fingers and toes.
- Blue Tulip Chocolates, Rye: This jewel box of a shop features a creamy, decadent cocoa featuring a blend of French and Belgian chocolates.
- Chocolations, Mamaroneck: Chocolate is the base of everything here, which means you'll find high-quality grade chocolate along with what Owner Maria Valente calls, her "secret ingredient" of love.
- City Limits, White Plains: A combination of heavy cream, milk, sugar, Valrhona chocolate, a cinnamon stick, and vanilla bean is just the thing to fortify you for another foray outside.
- Cocoa, Larchmont: Known as the grand dame of hot chocolates, this version features a European-style winter warmer made with Belgian dark chocolate, a touch of whole milk and whipped cream. Homemade marshmallows are optional but worth every calorie. The same chocolate-y goodness is found across the street at Bread & Cocoa .
- First Village Coffee, Ossining: Thanks to a variety of house-made syrups, First Village can create a host of interesting hot chocolate creations including lavender, vanilla, peppermint, caramel and churro. (Owner Luis Corena predicts the purple lavender version will be his biggest winter hit). Each cup is made individually with either Battenkill Valley Creamery milk or milk alternatives (i.e almond, oat, or soy). First Village also has a "famous" (yet to be named) hot chocolate bear that delights both kids and adults.
- Kneaded Bread, Port Chester: Semi-sweet chocolates, a touch of vanilla and cinnamon make for a rich, frothy hot chocolate mixture. Paired with a pastry or freshly-baked roll and you'll soon forget about the frightful weather outside.
- Little Joe's and Katonah Reading Room, Katonah: Get toasty with Ghirardelli hot chocolate made from a variety of milks, including almond or soy. Top it off with whipped cream or a chocolate or caramel drizzle. And, since hot chocolate isn't just for kids, there are adult versions as well including hot chocolate with espresso, mocha latte, and a cocoa caramel latte. New this season: white chocolate or hot chocolate lattes.
- Muddy Water Coffee & Cafe, Tarrytown: Local organic milk is mixed with a dark chocolate sauce to create a decadent, rich, classic hot chocolate. You can also add any of the cafe's syrups -- think vanilla, gingerbread, caramel and peppermint -- to customize your own blend.
- Patisserie Salzburg, Rye, Scarsdale: One sip and you'll swear you've just tasted perfection in a cup. This thick mixture has a European flair and just the right amount of sweetness to get you back into your coat and out the door feeling like you can conquer winter.
- Pete's Park Place Tavern. Bronxville: Who wants a spiked drink? At Pete's you'll find a Butterscotch hot cocoa with butterscotch liqueur chocolate Godiva liqueur, hot chocolate and whipped cream or a Peppermint Patty with peppermint schnapps, hot chocolate and whipped cream.
- Red Barn Bakery, Irvington: Talk about hitting your sweet spot. Red Barn specializes in velvety hot cocoa made with dark chunks of Italian chocolate and frothy Half & Half, steamed as one would an espresso. Pair with one of the bakery's organic or gluten-free goodies and you're good to go.
- Slave to the Grind, Bronxville: Thanks to a variety of syrups -- hazelnut, peppermint, strawberry, etc. -- you can craft your own drink, or just order your hot chocolate the old-fashioned way. Popular for those with a sweet tooth: S'Mores made with graham crackers and marshmallows.
- Tazza Cafe, Armonk, Millwood, Katonah: Craft your own hot chocolate, choosing the kind of milk, and the syrup (think caramel or peppermint). Whipped cream optional.
- The Black Cow Coffee Company, Croton, Pleasantville: The aroma of fresh brew hits you in all its caffeinated glory the minute you walk through the door making it hard to pick between a latte or a hot chocolate. But, Hershey's syrup and steamed milk has its own siren call. On request, you can add a syrup like peppermint or mocha and get it topped with whipped cream.
- The Granola Bar, Armonk, Rye: If the Instagram photos don't get you salivating, the actual hot chocolate mug in front of you will. The baristas at The Granola Bar love making this frothy concoction topped with whipped cream, mini marshmallows and a chocolate sauce drizzle. Sometimes they even have (friendly) competitions to see who can decorate it best.
- The Peekskill Coffee House, Peekskill: Enjoy hot chocolate the old-fashioned way -- with whole milk and chocolate syrup (you can substitute with skim milk, almond or soy) for a chocolate fix that feels like coziness in a cup.

Extra Details below and from the Loewe website: https://ww2.loewe.tv/au/bild/loewe-reference
Loewe is acknowledged as a specialist manufacturer and this is their top television model, the Reference, in a 55" size model. It is hand made in Germany with features that are not found on standard sets.
Effortless Perfection.
The new Loewe Reference sets exceptionally high standards. An achievement made possible by a perfectly synchronised performance: A crystal-clear Ultra-HD picture combines with outstanding quality sound from Loewe's unique integrated soundbar. A timeless modernist design meets ultimate convenience, thanks to the integrated hard disk recorder and Bluetooth audio streaming.
Ultra High Definition ... for the best picture.
The UHD display is combined with Loewe's unique glass high contrast filter panel, delivering even richer colours and deeper blacks - for a truly special picture. For TV broadcast signals that do not yet meet the UHD standard Loewe's up-scaling algorithm converts from the currently available Full HD 1,920 x 1,080 pixels in a seamless process ensuring visibly enhanced details and the clarity of Ultra HD 3,840 x 2,160 pixels.
Loewe 3D Active Shutter ... for even more depth.
From outer space to jungles or oceans … Sometimes, you want to truly immerse yourself in the action unfolding on your screen. Loewe's 3D Active Shutter technology brings images alive with vibrant detail - and not just for 3D content. Algorithms work invisibly behind the scenes - calculating which picture content should appear at the front and back - to transform even 2D content into an impressive three-dimensional home cinema experience.
High-resolution art ... with the LUMAS app.
The new LUMAS Gallery app takes art into the digital dimension - and opens up new horizons. It allows you to enjoy selected works of art by internationally renowned artists - such as the Cuba series by the Stuttgart-based photographer Werner Pawlok - in high-resolution Ultra HD quality on your television screen. The LUMAS TV app is available on the new Loewe Reference TV home screen, so you can start selecting pictures straight away - using the Loewe remote control. Browse photographs, graphics, illustrations, digital art or paintings. When you find a picture that appeals, you can display it as a fixed image (for a maximum of 24 hours) or enjoy as part of a slide show.
Quality Sound
The Loewe Reference has a sound quality to rival even high-end hi-fi and home cinema systems: tangible bass, vivid middle, precise highs and an exceptionally wide dynamic range – the traditional hallmarks of Loewe Sound. The Loewe Reference sets particularly high standards. An integrated soundbar with eight speakers generates crystal-clear sound with a rich 120 watts of music output. In combination with the specially designed bass reflex box and integrated 5.1 audio decoder with Dolby Digital and DTS, the result is an impressive home cinema … and a perfect home concert hall. The Loewe Reference's cinema surround mode conveys amazingly authentic surround sound. At the touch of a button, it also allows you to switch between film and music mode. Special algorithms calculate the optimal overall sound setup for each situation: as powerful as possible while retaining sensitivity – ideal for cinema buffs and music fans.
Loewe Mobile Recording ... any time, any place.
You're stuck in traffic or can't get away from a meeting...you won't make it home in time for your favorite programme. You're out with friends...and you suddenly realise your weekly drama is about to start. The Loewe Reference takes the stress out of situations such as these. Loewe Mobile recording allows you to easily record programmes on the integrated Loewe DR+ 1 TB hard disk, even if you don't happen to be at home. Leaving you free to enjoy your favorite programmes at a more convenient time! All you need is a smartphone and an Internet connection. Simply open the new free Loewe Smart Assist app, select the program from the programme guide and press 'record'... Your Loewe TV will then take care of the rest. When you get back home, you can even watch your recorded programmes on your patio, or tucked up in bed using a tablet computer.

SACRAMENTO — With less than two weeks to go before Election Day, Gov. Jerry Brown said Tuesday he is doing everything he can to overcome what he called the "Orwellian propaganda" of big-monied opponents to his tax-hike measure.
Brown said voters have never faced "such a stark choice" as they do with Proposition 30, which would provide $6 billion annually to the state and avert $5.4 billion in cuts to schools and community colleges and another $250 million each to the University of California and California State University.
"If you vote yes, you get billions into schools, or you vote no and you can yank billions out of schools and jack up tuition," the governor said in a telephone interview with this newspaper. "It's an either/or simple matter of arithmetic with monumental consequences for the whole state."
Attack ads on Proposition 30, which seeks to raise the state sales tax by a quarter cent and income tax on higher-income earners, have come largely from the Small Business Action Committee, a group that had earlier been powered by a $16 million donation from wealthy Republican activist Charles Munger of Palo Alto. He's the half brother of Molly Munger, who is bankrolling Proposition 38, the chief rival ballot measure that seeks to raise $10 billion a year for 12 years for schools by hiking income taxes on all but the poor.
But the Small Business Action Committee got a recent boost by a secret $11 million contribution from Arizona-based Americans for Responsible Leadership, which because it has not disclosed its donors has come under investigation by the state's campaign finance watchdog, the Fair Political Practices Commission.
"We're fighting to put the truth out to the people of California, but the biggest obstacle is a phony small business committee which is the antithesis of small," Brown said. "It's big, it's powerful, it's secretive and it's deceptive."
Beth Miller, a spokeswoman for the committee, fired back, saying: "This is part of a politically motivated attack by the governor, and it serves to distract voters from the measure itself."
Another opposition ballot committee, the No on 30 campaign, whose largest donation — $8.8 million — comes from the committee, has begun airing ads that tie Brown's ballot measure to higher costs in gasoline, which the governor said is a "shameless effort to stir the fears of the electorate in a time of higher gas costs."
The committee's last donation to the No on 30 campaign — $2.9 million — came a day after it received the $11 million secret donation.
In one No on 30 television ad, a woman portraying a mom with two children in the background says the sales tax is "one billion more a year for gas, clothes, things we buy everyday …"
Campaign strategists for the No on 30 campaign insisted the ad was accurate. In a complex 2010 transaction, legislators exempted gasoline from sales taxes. But Tom Hiltachk, the attorney for No on 30, said that Proposition 30's sales tax would apply to gas taxes because it is a constitutional amendment, which overrides the statutory gas-tax exemption. The sales tax applies to all tangible personal property, including gas, Hiltachk said.
But proponents scoffed at the claim, pointing to a Legislative Analyst's Office analysis that says the state no longer charges a sales tax on gas.
"Gas tax is an excise tax, not a sales tax, and they know it," said Dan Newman, a spokesman for the Yes on 30 campaign. "They're purposely trying to deceive and scare voters with false information."
Brown said he believes the Arizona group is funded by wealthy individuals who have no concerns about California schools. It has ties with Republican strategist Karl Rove, whose American Crossroads super PAC has poured hundreds of millions of dollars into campaigns this year. It also has done work with groups affiliated with David and Charles Koch, the conservative oil magnate brothers, who have also combined to wield influence on elections around the country with hundreds of millions of dollars in contributions.
"I intend to expose that at the same time as I communicate the truth about Proposition 30 that it means so very much to all the school children and all the college students and in fact all the people of California because it will help build our economy," Brown said.
Poll numbers show Proposition 30 barely staying above the 50 percent mark, which the governor finds worrisome.
As a 501(c)4 nonprofit organization, Americans for Responsible Leadership is not required by federal law to disclose its donors. But California law requires that outside nonprofits must reveal their donors if they knew or should have known that their money would go toward political purposes in California.
A new rule assumes that donors to politically active groups are presumed to know they are making political donations, said Ann Ravel, the chairwoman of the Fair Political Practices Commission.

New UConn class: larger, smarter, more diverse
It wasn't twin basketball championships last spring that lured Trumbull High School valedictorian Maneesh Koneru to the University of Connecticut this fall, although he admits he is looking forward to watching games this year at the school's Gampel Pavilion.
It wasn't the price tag, either. Koneru's financial aid package at UConn was on par with others he received. Instead, the pre-med major said it was UConn's new research facilities, its proximity to home and the feeling he got when he visited the spacious campus.
"It was just so open and nice," said Koneru, 17, who is packing to leave for campus Friday.
Apparently, 6,000 others feel the same way.
Despite rising tuition, a falling number of high school seniors and the recent settlement of a lawsuit claiming UConn mishandled sexual assault complaints, university officials will announce Thursday they are welcoming their most diverse and high-achieving freshman class to date.
There are almost 3,600 freshmen and 800 transfer students headed to Storrs, the main campus, and nearly 1,400 freshmen and 200 transfer students bound for UConn's five campuses, including Stamford.
The Class of 2018 is also larger, smarter and more diverse than the one before it.
The average SAT score is 1234, a point higher than last year's class.
About one-third of the class -- 33.8 percent -- are classified as minority students, topping the previous record of 27 percent set last year.
The new class was culled from nearly 32,000 applicants, also a record high, coming despite a continued dip in the number of high school graduates in the state and elsewhere.
"Interest is up across the board," said Nathan Fuerst, UConn's director of undergraduate admissions. "I get lots of emails from potential students talking about the energy of the place."
Universitywide, about 79 percent of students are from Connecticut. On the main Storrs campus, about one-quarter of students are from out of state.
According to Fuerst, it is a sum of many things that has led to the increase, including an increased commitment to science, technology, engineering and math programs, with an infusion of about $1.5 billion over the next 10 years from the state for new buildings and programs.
There is also a new STEM scholars community within UConn's Honors Program to attract students like Koneru, who had several options.
In all, UConn is expecting 169 high school valedictorians and salutatorians, up from 165 in 2013 and 40 in 1995, the year UConn started an ambitious plan to modernize and expand its campus.
The most popular programs among new students are engineering, biology, psychology and business.
The 6.5 percent tuition increase, which sends the UConn price tag to $24,774 for in-state students living on campus, did not appear to scare students away, according to Fuerst. The increased tuition, along with new state STEM money, is being used to hire additional faculty members, officials said. That, presumably, will help more students graduate on time. The current six-year graduation rate at UConn is 83 percent.
Because financial aid packages are still being awarded, he could not say how much the average student will actually pay.
Potential students asked about issues related to campus safety, Fuerst said, but no more than usual and none specifically about last year's lawsuit filed against UConn.
Last year, a federal lawsuit and Title IX complaint was filed against UConn by several former and current students who charged the university was indifferent to their reported sexual assaults. UConn denied the charges, but in July agreed to pay the plaintiffs $1.3 million to settle the case.
As for basketball, Fuerst points out that the application deadline for the new freshman class closed before UConn's men's and women's basketball teams won national titles in April.

It's been four and a half years since Charlie Davies' promising soccer career was put on hold by horrific car crash which claimed the lives of two others. Davies' return to the soccer field after the accident has been nothing short of a miracle, and a testament to the strength of his love for the game. Although the 2014 World Cup has brought about many "what ifs" and "could have beens," Charlie remains hopeful and optimistic, looking forward to what the future may bring.
