Entry Barriers for Food Processors to Supermarkets in KenyaThomsen, Lotte; McCormick, Dorothy; Kamau, Paul (Frederiksberg, 2017)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper addresses the domestically owned food-processing industry in Kenya and explores the sale of processed food products to the domestic 'modern' retail sector. Food processing represents a step up in the value chain compared to fresh food production and may thus, at least potentially, lead to economic development. In focusing on food-processing businesses and on domestic rather than global market sales, this paper distinguishes itself from studies on Sub-Saharan African suppliers to global value chains. The potential importance of domestic 'modern' retail formats to Kenyan food suppliers is underlined by the fact that after South Africa, Kenya is Africa's second largest market for 'formal' retail, mostly because of the growing Kenyan middle class (EIU, 2013; Business Daily, 2015). What is not clear, however, is the extent to which retailers in Kenya currently source processed food products locally and thus whether food processing – as opposed to fresh food exports – retains importance for suppliers as well as for the Kenyan economy. This paper aims to contribute knowledge to this subject on which very little research exists. Based on fieldwork, the paper shows that a variety of entry barriers exist for Kenyan food processors that attempt to supply the emerging 'modern' retail sector domestically. The paper also shows how the requirements that processors must meet, especially for larger domestic supermarkets, tend to resemble those commonly described in the export sector, calling into question the extent to which domestic retail is a viable alternative in the longer run.

Chong, Sabrina; Wad, Peter (København, 2008)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Offshore outsourcing of business activities from the Global North to the Global South does not only relocate investments and jobs, but has also brought about new business demands on suppliers activities and their social and environmental impact. The article explores whether, how and why offshore outsourcing transactions between foreign firms and Malaysian firms affect the upgrading of the CSR activities of Malaysia incorporated firms, taking the particular institutional context of Malaysia into consideration. The focus is on recipient country vendors, contract manufacturers or subcontractors and their reception of and strategising about corporate social responsibility. The findings of the study indicate, firstly, that the amount of foreign (sub)contracting influences the CSR strategising of domestic firms while the global value chain position is only conditioning the offshore outsourcing portfolio. Secondly, both the corporate governance of Malaysian affiliate and the Malaysian government play an important role shaping the perception, rhetoric and organisation of CSR activities by firms in Malaysia with a domestic value chain position. Hence, firms in Malaysia are squeezed by international business linkages and the local institutional context. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6757

The Case of Roshan, An Afghan Telecommunication CompanyAzizi, Sameer A. (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: CSR is a rising phenomena in Afghanistan – but why are firms concerned about CSR in a least-developed context such as Afghanistan, and what are the strategic benefits? This paper is one of the first to explore these CSR issues in a least-developed country. It does so by focusing on CSR in the Afghan telecommunication sector and in particular on 'Roshan' as a case company. The findings of this paper are two-folded. First, it provides an overview of the CSR practices in the telecommunication sector in Afghanistan. Second, it focuses on one case and explains whether Roshan can gain strategic advantages through CSR in Afghanistan, and if so which and how these strategic benefits are gained. The paper shows that the developmental challenges of Afghanistan are the key explanations for why companies engage in CSR. Roshan has engaged in proactive CSR to overcome the contextual barriers for growth. Based on an analysis of five CSR projects, it can be assessed that Roshan enhances its competitive advantage through CSR in internal, external, and wider- society levels. It is analyzed that Roshan influences its competitive context both from inside-out and out-side in dimensions, and that the CSR projects could all live up to the strategic CSR criteria drawn from the academic work of Porter and Kramer, Burke and Logsdon and Blowfield. Finally, the paper discusses how in a context of a weak state and civil society, and massive developmental challenges, CSR is not a matter of an 'add-on choice', but is based on a 'license to operate' motivation, where businesses have free room for maneuvering CSR towards their strategic priorities and business goals. Whether this creates a 'shared value' for both business and in particularly for the society is however still questionable. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8444

Schaumburg-Müller, Henrik (København, 2007)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper looks at the export developments of Vietnamese garment producers after the Multi-Fibre Arrangement was removed by the beginning of 2005. It uses a Global Value Chain approach and analyses what happens when there is a major change in the institutional context, in this case shift in the basic institutional international trade arrangements. The focus is on Vietnam and the Vietnamese garment suppliers looking at how they have performed after the removal of the quota systems and what kind of strategies they have pursued. The results show that Vietnamese suppliers have been able to compete internationally after the quota removals although many of them appear to be locked in the low value end of the chain. The data show, however, that they are not only able to compete and grow but also to change between buyers and markets, which provides them with the flexibility of shifting between chains.

Hansen, Michael W.; Gwozdz, Wencke (Frederiksberg, 2013)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: MNCs are increasingly investing in developing countries to be part of rapid market growth, to enhance the efficiency of their value chains, and to access abundant resources and talent. The potential gains are high, however so are the risks. Some developing country subsidiaries become top performers in terms of growth and revenue and assume key roles in the MNCs' global value chains, but other subsidiaries fail to meet expectations, struggling to produce positive returns and frequently experiencing stop of operations. While the issue of subsidiary performance should be at the heart of any International Business (IB) enquiry into MNC activity in developing countries, surprisingly little research has examined this issue. Based on a unique data base of approx. 800 MNC subsidiaries established between 1969 and 2008, this paper examines the evolution in subsidiary performance and the factors influencing this performance. The analysis reveals that MNC subsidiaries in developing countries have improved enormously on their performance since the early investments in the 1960s and 70s, but also that the risks of failure remain high. The paper moves on to analyze factors shaping subsidiary performance. Inspired by received IB theory, it is hypothesized that subsidiary performance is essentially shaped by five dimensions: location, industry, MNC capabilities, subsidiary role, and entry mode. A variance component analysis is employed to identify the sources of subsidiary performance. Especially MNC capabilities and subsidiary role appear to explain variance in performance, while location and industry factors appear to have less explanatory power. This suggests that while locational and industry factors affect subsidiary performance, strong MNC capabilities and appropriate strategy can make MNCs succeed regardless of location and industry. The findings of the study have important implications for the IB literature, for managers and for policy aimed at promoting FDI in developing countries. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8829

Gaussview is a visualization tool for analyzing Gaussian data files.
Versions and Availability
Softenv Keys for gaussview on supermike2
|Softenv Key
▶ Softenv FAQ?
The information here is applicable to LSU HPC and LONI systems.
A user may choose between using /bin/bash and /bin/tcsh. Details about each shell follows.
System resource file: /etc/profile
When one access the shell, the following user files are read in if they exist (in order):
- ~/.bash_profile (anything sent to STDOUT or STDERR will cause things like rsync to break)
- ~/.bashrc (interactive login only)
- ~/.profile
When a user logs out of an interactive session, the file ~/.bash_logout is executed if it exists.
The default value of the environmental variable, PATH, is set automatically using SoftEnv. See below for more information.
The file ~/.cshrc is used to customize the user's environment if his login shell is /bin/tcsh.
SoftEnv is a utility that is supposed to help users manage complex user environments with potentially conflicting application versions and libraries.
System Default Path
When a user logs in, the system /etc/profile or /etc/csh.cshrc (depending on login shell, and mirrored from csm:/cfmroot/etc/profile) calls /usr/local/packages/softenv-1.6.2/bin/use.softenv.sh to set up the default path via the SoftEnv database.
SoftEnv looks for a user's ~/.soft file and updates the variables and paths accordingly.
Viewing Available Packages
The command softenv will provide a list of available packages. The listing will look something like:
$ softenv These are the macros available: * @default These are the keywords explicitly available: +amber-8 Applications: 'Amber', version: 8 Amber is a +apache-ant-1.6.5 Ant, Java based XML make system version: 1.6. +charm-5.9 Applications: 'Charm++', version: 5.9 Charm++ +default this is the default environment...nukes /etc/ +essl-4.2 Libraries: 'ESSL', version: 4.2 ESSL is a sta +gaussian-03 Applications: 'Gaussian', version: 03 Gaussia ... some stuff deleted ...
Managing SoftEnv
The file ~/.soft in the user's home directory is where the different packages are managed. Add the +keyword into your .soft file. For instance, ff one wants to add the Amber Molecular Dynamics package into their environment, the end of the .soft file should look like this:
To update the environment after modifying this file, one simply uses the resoft command:
% resoft
The command soft can be used to manipulate the environment from the command line. It takes the form:
$ soft add/delete +keyword
Using this method of adding or removing keywords requires the user to pay attention to possible order dependencies. That is, best results require the user to remove keywords in the reverse order in which they were added. It is handy to test out individual keys, but can lead to trouble if changing multiple keys. Changing the .soft file and issuing the resoft is the recommended way of dealing with multiple changes.
Gaussview must be run in an X-windows session. Details for controlling the application are provided in the materials found in the Resources section.
From *nix
Since ssh and X11 are already on most client machines running some sort of unix (Linux, FreeBSD, etc), one would simply use the following command:
% ssh -X -Y firstname.lastname@example.com
Once successfully logged in, the following command should open a new terminal window on the local host:
% xterm&
An xterm window should appear. If this is not the case, email us.
From Mac OS X
An X11 service is not installed by default, but one is available for installation on the OS distribution disks as an add-on. An alternative would be to install the XQuartz version. Make sure the X11 application is running and connect to the cluster using:
% ssh -X -Y firstname.lastname@example.com
From Windows
Microsoft Windows does not provide an X11 server, but there are both open source and commercial versions available. You also need to install an SSH client. Recommended applications are:
When a PuTTY session is created, make sure the "X11 Forwarding Enabled" option is set, and that the X11 server is running before starting the session.
Once Xming and puTTY have been set up and in stalled, the following will provide a simple test for success:
- start Xming
- start puTTY
- connect to the remote host (make sure puTTY knows about Xming for this host)
Once successfully logged in, the following command should open a new terminal window on the local host:
% xterm&
An xterm window should appear. If this is not the case, refer to "Trouble with Xming?" or email us.
Note About Cygwin
Cygwin is still a useful environment, but is to complicated and contains too many unnecessary parts when all one wants is to interface with remote X11 sessions. For these reasons, we recommend Xming and PuTTY as listed above.
Advanced Usage
The most important connection that is made is from the user's client machine to the first remote host. One may "nest" X11 forwarding by using the ssh -XY command to jump to other remote hosts.
For example:
1. on client PC (*nix or Windows), ssh to remotehost1
2. on remotehost1 (presumably a *nix machine), ssh -XY to remotehost2
3. on remotehost2 (presumably a *nix machine), ssh -XY to remotehost3
8. on remotehost8 (presumably a *nix machine), ssh -XY to remotehost9
9. on remotehost9, running an X11 application like xterm should propagate the remote window back to the initial client PC through all of the additional remote connects.

It's hard to make a good return on your money nowadays. With five-year certificates of deposit yielding less than 1.5 percent, they're not even keeping up with inflation. Returns on money market accounts are even worse. Far from the days when you could earn 5 percent on your money in a risk-free account insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., you now have to get creative and take on some risk to earn a fair yield.
From dividend-paying stocks and peer-to-peer lending to paying down high-cost credit card debt, there is a variety of alternatives that can deliver better returns than a CD. However, they are not without risk, and financial advisers say the best option may be to use a couple of alternatives in combination to grow cash you won't need for a few years.
Here are some options worth considering.
Dividend-paying stocks
If you're not a savvy investor, putting short-term cash in the stock market could be a very risky move. But if your only other choice is 1.5 percent in a CD, you might be willing to take a shot and risk some loss in principal, says Mari Adam, president of Adam Financial Associates Inc. in Boca Raton, Fla.
There are many great household-name corporations paying 2 percent to 5 percent dividends. Solid blue-chip companies such as Verizon, ExxonMobil, and Proctor and Gamble pay quarterly dividends that are significantly higher than any CD rates. Many also have a decades-long history of raising dividends and relatively stable share prices.
Be forewarned that there's a real risk you could lose principal. Buy a stock at $20 per share today, and it could be worth $15 per share six months from now. Kimberly Foss, president of Empyrion Wealth Management in Roseville, Calif., says because stocks can come with such risk, you have to ask yourself how much risk you're willing to take. While that risk can be significant in the short term, it becomes lower in the long term; you should plan to hold on to any stocks for a period of three to eight years.
"If the markets go down 10 percent in the short-term, are you going to be OK with that?" Foss asks.
Many financial advisers recommend against picking individual stocks because it can be so risky. Adam says if you take this option, it's best to spread your risk among a couple of stocks and other investing alternatives.
"You don't want to put all of your short- or midterm cash in just one stock or one alternative," Adam says.
Paying down high-cost debt
While it may seem counterintuitive to saving money, paying down high-cost debt is a good "investment," considering today's low CD rates.
Bill Hammer Jr., president of the Hammer Wealth Group in Melville, N.Y., says you are essentially earning a guaranteed rate of return when you pay down debt. Paying off $1,000 in credit card debt at 22 percent means you'll save at least $220 in interest in the first year. It could be even more if you were to carry that debt for subsequent years. Compare that to putting that $1,000 in a CD for a year, where you'd earn $15.
"Mortgages and a car note might be OK, but you should be paying down anything with a double-digit interest rate," Hammer says.
Paying down credit card debt also protects you against the possibility that your interest rate will rise in the future. And once the debt is paid down, it will be easier to put away money on a regular basis and build up your savings.
"Paying down debt is one of the only ways you can get a guaranteed risk-free return," Hammer says.
Peer-to-peer lending
Peer-to-peer lending, often known as "P2P lending," is a creative option if you're willing to take a little risk for higher reward, Empyrion's Foss says. At sites such as LendingClub.com and Prosper.com, you can make 36-month loans to random strangers and earn an annual return of 6 percent to 18 percent. Loan terms are usually one, three and five years, and you can lend to borrowers in different risk categories based on their credit scores.
Just as a bank does, you get a higher interest rate for higher-risk loans. Foss says it's a less risky option than the stock market. She recommends sticking with borrowers with AAA ratings. Both sites let you spread your risk among different risk classes and loans. So if you're looking to invest $1,000, you might make $50 loans to 20 different borrowers in different risk classes.
"I wouldn't put all of your cash here, but it might work well as part of a portfolio with dividend-paying stocks and a short-term corporate bond fund," Foss says.
The downside is that unlike other options, your principal is not always available. Instead of your principal earning interest, you're giving up your principal and being paid back with interest over time. If you do want to get out of your loan, both sites have trading platforms that allow you to sell the note to other investors at a discount and for a 1 percent commission on the note.
Bond funds
Bond funds are another alternative for midterm cash. Funds come in every flavor and hold bonds in everything from foreign countries to utilities to corporations. Adam says short-term bond funds could be an alternative to CDs for some of your cash.
Adam recommends Ginnie Mae funds because they invest in mortgages and have the guarantee of the Government National Mortgage Association. This means the bond funds and holders are ensured timely payment of principal and interest whether or not borrowers make payments. They are typically noted with the abbreviation "GNMA."
"You're looking at double the return of a CD," Adam says.
Another option could be an international bond fund. Many of these funds hold bonds from AAA-rated, creditworthy nations such as France, United Kingdom, Germany and Japan. Bond funds are usually used by retirees seeking income, but with today's limited options, they may also be a place to park midterm cash for a few years.

Repatriation: Attic Red-Figure Nolan Amphora by the Harrow Painter
|Image Credit: Manhattan District Attorney's Office

Right - Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance, Jr.
On February 25, 2017 ARCA announced a second antiquities seizure at Royal-Athena Galleries, a well known New York City-based gallery operated by Jerome Eisenberg, following object identifications made by forensic archaeologist Christos Tsirogiannis. The item seized was an Attic Red-Figure Nolan amphora painted by the Harrow Painter, a vase painter known to have decorated column craters, oinochoai, and neck amphorae from approximately 480 until 460 B.C.E.
A week earlier, Tsirogiannis had informed both ARCA and the Assistant District Attorney in Manhattan, Matthew Bogdanos, that he had matched the ancient object to three images from the archive of disgraced Italian antiquities dealer Gianfranco Becchina, convicted in 2011 for his role in the illegal antiquities trade. The dealer's accumulation of business records, seized by Swiss and Italian authorities in 2002, consists of some 140 binders containing more than 13,000 documents related to antiquities, bought and sold, which at one point or another are known to have passed through Becchina's network of illicit suppliers.
Presented with irrefutable evidence of the object's illicit past, the neck amphora, valued at $250,000, was quickly forfeited by the New York dealer.
Today, in New York City, Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance, Jr. formally handed over the amphora to the Italian authorities during a repatriation ceremony attended by Minister Plenipotentiary Francesco Genuardi, the Consul General of Italy in New York, and the Deputy Special Agent-in-Charge of Homeland Security Investigations ("HSI") New York, Debra Parker.
According to the New York County District Attorney website, the Neck Amphora will be exhibited at the Consulate General of Italy in New York for a few months in celebration of its return before ultimately going back to Italy. Once home, the object will be placed on permanent display in one of Italy's museums which are part of the regional 'Polo Museale del Lazio,' a grouping of museums in the territory near Rome, some of which are in the immediate vicinity of where the object was likely looted.
The DA's website also mentioned that the amphora will be displayed in Italy with "a special mention of the decisive contribution of the Manhattan District Attorney's Office for its repatriation."
Here is hoping there is also room on the museum's brass ID plate for the name "Tsirogiannis." It was through this diligent researcher's identification, and the earlier work of Maurizio Pelligrini from Rome's Villa Giulia, which ultimately tied this Neck Amphora to the specific group of identified traffickers, middlemen and dealers who had working relationships with Becchina. It is his analysis of the dealer's archival records, which proved to be the critical component of the evidentiary material which ultimately paved the way for the New York DA's office through the request of attorney Matthew Bogdanos, to request that this object be seized. This request for seizure in turn leading to the eventual "voluntary" forfeiture of the amphora.
As a general rule, antiquities dealers do not voluntarily give up ancient works of art worth six figures unless they have to. They do so, only when the evidence presented makes a compelling legal case which persuades them that it would probably be in their best interest to do so.

The First First Rain at UC Santa Cruz
9 years ago
Wayne Hendrickson was UCSC's favorite Proctor/Campus Security Officer for 20 years. Now retired, he shared some of his best memories of mischief and debauchery with Snap Judgment. During the first big rain of the year, everyone on campus gets naked and runs around. Wayne told me about the origins of that tradition--and his own role within it.
This is really interesting by Daren radio

By Marlena De Lacroix a.k.a. Connie Passalacqua Hayman
The Young and the Restless: Like gossip on old movies and TV and the soap opera world? Like to laugh? Wanna get all the inside whispered into your ear by a great soap opera icon? Then get yourself a copy of Not Young, Still Restless (HarperCollins) the very frank and entertaining autobiography of 83-year-old Jeanne Cooper, who has starred as Katherine Chancellor on The Young and the Restless since 1973.
Cooper, who was brought up in a modest household in Taft, California, fell in love with theater and became a Hollywood contract player (and later television freelancer) during the 50s, all before she came to Y&R. She appeared in such movies as The Girl From Wyoming with Maureen O' Hara (who initially tried to push younger actress Cooper into the background) and Let No Man Be My Epitaph (where she became friends with Shelley Winters.) For more than two decades she was a most prolific guest star on primetime shows (from Wagon Train and Perry Mason to The Man from U.N.C.L.E. and Bracken's World) getting to really know such stars as Barbara Stanwyck, Raymond Burr and her dear longtime friend, Barbara Hale.
And right off the bat, Cooper tells you who she slept with in those glory days — David Janssen and Robert Taylor (!) were just two. Very quickly you see that the strong woman who survived and thrived in the difficult word of Hollywood had tremendous vulnerabilities, revealed through her running painful description of her love/ hate relationship with her husband, agent and producer Harry Bernsen. He was a handsome, cheating money moocher, and she eventually divorced him. But their three children (actor Corbin, Collin and Caren) became and remain the lights of her life. What a proud, deeply loving mother she appears to be! (She now has eight grandchildren in a tight knit family.)
Cooper confesses that The Young and the Restless saved her life. After her bout with alcoholism, Bill Bell personally sent her to rehab. Cooper delightfully details all the leading names of the actors and backstagers she's known through [Read more…]


text: With a swooping, baby-voiced singing style, Grimes (the alias of Vancouver native Claire Boucher) crafts a haunting brand of lo-fi dance music that fits stylistically within the goth-electronic umbrella coined "witch house" or "grave wave." In 2010 she put out two cassettes, Geidi Primes and Halfaxa, which were both made available as free downloads. Darkbloom, a split EP with D'Eon, was released on Arbutus/Hippos in Tanks in 2011. Soon after, Grimes signed to the legendary U.K. label 4AD for the release of 2012's Visions. ~ Jason Lymangrover, Rovi

We have just returned from the Medeterainan week with the ship.Firstly let me start by telling you that we had a great time...... Yes the ship is slightly dated and is showing its age in certain areas but hey that can be said for 90% of hotels also!! The staff are amazing and always served you with a smile and most went out of their way for you if you asked for something. The food in the main resturant definatly got worse as the week went along,this is a view held by all people that we spoke to.Although it was still not terrible it certainly wasnt as good as the begining of the week.The menu was dominated by fish or beef.Again the staff were great. Now coming onto the "drinks package" this is something that Royal Carribian dont go out of their way to advertise.Yes its there but you have to ask for it. They offer 3 packages- 1 beer and wine, 2 beer,wine and spirits or 3 beer,wine spirits(all brands) Prices start from 234 dollars for the beer/wine package(which if you like a drink is DEFINATLY worth taking out) Included in the packages are most brands of beer including strongbow newcastle brown,corona.etc which makes a pleasant change to "house" beers. The sun decks got VERY full on the 2 days we had at sea and by 8.30am most sunbeds have vanished.We did see pool attendents taking towels off unused sunbeds at times by not often enough. The indoor pool is ADULT only(slightly unfair when they charge FULL PRICE for children) On the days in port we found the shuttle services a total RIP OFF AND REFUSED TO PAY THE 10 DOLLARS PER PERSON to be shuttled into the towns.(how they can charge this is beyond me and left a sour taste in our mouths!!!) Instead we made our own way which was VERY VERY easy..... In Barcelona the public bus stops outside the terminal building and runs every 10 mins COST 3 EUROS RETURN In Ibiza taxis pull up at the gate every other minute COST TO IBIZA TOWN 7 EUROS PER TAXI. In Malaga the public bus runs every 10 min and COSTS 3 EUROS RETURN(dont belive Royal Carribian when they tell you there is NO public transport) In Gibralter its a nice pleasant 10 min walk into town or shuttle mini buses charge 5 Euros. We also noticed that the ship docked as far away as it possible could from ALL ports(is this to save money???) most other cruise ships docked a lot closer. All in all we think the ship represented value for money on the offers that seen and if the price was right we would go again. Read Less

Since its inception in 1964, The Kidney Foundation of Canada has been dedicated to reducing the burden of kidney disease. This work has taken many forms over the years and enormous strides have been made. Kidney research, and the application of findings through community programs and services, has directly and positively impacted the lives of renal patients and their families.
The Foundation's leadership and successes have been made possible thanks to the contribution of numerous volunteers and staff from communities throughout the country, each united by a common vision. A cornerstone of the Foundation's philosophy is that the knowledge, skills and competencies needed to truly engage people in collaborative efforts to address complex health issues, can be greatly enhanced by providing unique personal and professional leadership opportunities.
Gavin Turley, a major proponent of this philosophy, retired from The Kidney Foundation of Canada in July 2008 after 15 years of service as the National Executive Director. His professional career spanned more than 40 years in Canada's voluntary sector. It was marked by a constant commitment to initiatives aimed at strengthening the community and organizational leadership abilities of volunteers and staff. It is in view of this hallmark of spirit and dedication that the National Board of Directors established The Gavin Turley Scholarship for Civic Engagement.
2015 Recipient of The Gavin Turley Scholarship
2013 Recipient of The Gavin Turley Scholarship
2012 Recipient of The Gavin Turley Scholarship
This scholarship, open to candidates from within Canada, will be awarded annually to a volunteer or employee for the purpose of furthering their training in one or more of the disciplines of community development, organizational development and/or collaborative change management initiatives. Applicants must have demonstrated leadership in facilitating community engagement on behalf of The Kidney Foundation of Canada, and wish to use this opportunity to further their personal and professional development. The scholarship will provide one time financial support of up to $ 1,000 to assist the successful candidate's enrollment in a related educational program.

On July 13th of last year investigators say Joshua Mahaffey shot and killed Ashleigh Lindsey at a home in Kingston, then turned the gun on himself.
This story of domestic violence is featured in the May issue of Cosmopolitan magazine, and Lindsey's mother, Tara Woodlee, said the article shows that domestic violence doesn't really end with the victim.
"Because we were stalked and harassed by him as well," said Woodlee. "I got phones calls daily from him, constantly, text messages."
In January, Woodlee got a call from Domestic Violence Crime Watch that a writer at Cosmo wanted to tell Lindsey's story. That began a several week-long process that included interviews, phone calls, and research.
Woodlee helped gather the protective orders her daughter ordered against Mahaffey, and Cosmo deputy editor Sara Austin says those orders tell a story themselves.
"There were numerous times over and over for the crime to have been prevented," said Austin. "I think that's what dramatizes this issue."
Woodlee said these types of orders must carry more weight because lives depend on them.
"It can be more than a piece of paper if the authorities and judges take them more seriously," Woodlee said.
She said she can only hope her daughter's tragic story will inspire women to leave abusive relationships before it's too late.
"It will effect people so that they get out of that situation," said Woodlee.

|I love the way the characters in this episode keep pumping their pump-action shotguns to show how serious they are. You see, the pump isn't there to show people that you're serious - it's there to eject a spent round and chamber another one. If you pump a shotgun without firing it, it spits out a perfectly good round and loads the next one. Basically, the characters are gradually disarming themselves!
Okay, I want to be nice about this but it's a bit indelicate. Dax comes through the sewers to get into the sanctuary. So first, why isn't she all covered in... er... waste? And second, why can't the cops do the same thing?
|Factoid :
|The boxing poster on the wall behind Kira and O'Brien in the 1930s is the same one that was on the wall behind Kirk and Spock when they visited the same era!

While working on a process to refresh the QA environment (data purge, reload data and reapply changes made over time as parts of release cycles), I ran into self-imposed requirement. I was attempting to create a process that would perform the entire process consistently. Amongst the items that I needed to include in this process to "refresh" the QA environment was the need to run a couple of SSIS packages. SSIS was not installed on this particular server where I was creating this process. I needed to have a way of executing two SSIS packages without installing SSIS on the local server.
With that need, I decided to test a remote execution of a job that had SSIS steps. The method I decided to use was to employ OSQL. Here is what I did for that.
[codesyntax lang="tsql"]
osql -S "remoteserver\remoteinstance" -E -Q"exec msdb.dbo.sp_start_job 'Remote Job Name'"
I added that line of code to a SQL Agent Job step. The job step type is Operating System (CMDExec).
This method works well for me since I had already tested the package on the remote server and knew that it worked. There are several other methods as well, this happened to be implemented more quickly for me at this time.

Claudia Christian
Christian's first role on television was a guest appearance on Dallas, followed by a series regular role as Melody Hughes on the short-lived drama Berrenger's. She left her breakthrough role as Babylon 5's Susan Ivanova unexpectedly following the fourth season, when contract negotiations for the fifth and final season — aggravated by the possibility that there would not be one — broke down. J. Michael Straczynski, the series' creator, maintains that she chose to leave on her own.[4] (Her appearance in the series finale was filmed during the fourth season.) Before Babylon 5, Christian performed feature film roles such as a stripper possessed by an alien serial killer in The Hidden (1987), a police department psychologist Susan Riley in Maniac Cop 2 and as model Hexina in Hexed (1993). She posed nude for Playboy magazine in October 1999.
She appeared in two episodes of Freaks and Geeks in 2000. In 2004, she returned to the live stage (and to Laguna Beach, California, where she had attended high school), starring in the United States Premiere of Michael Weller's play What the Night is For, with Kip Gilman, directed by Richard Stein, at the Laguna Playhouse. She starred in the BBC comedy series, Broken News in 2005. She also plays Janine Foster, mother of Peri Brown, in the Doctor Who audio drama "The Reaping", produced by Big Finish Productions released in the United Kingdom in September 2006.
She also appeared in the 2002 She Spies episode, "Spy vs Spy".
She voices Anne Manx in the full cast recordings for the Radio Repertory Company of America. The science fiction series is currently shown as in pre-production for "Anne Manx 6".
She also has a music career, having made three records Taboo, Claudia Squared and Once Upon a Time as well as collaborating with some of the other cast members of Babylon 5 on the album The Be Five.

Greening Southwark's public realm
Hosted by Valerie Beirne, urban forest manager at Better Bankside, this Green Sky Thinking event focused on 'the ecology of regeneration' and included a brief presentation at Better Bankside's Great Guildford Street offices followed by a walking tour around current projects. Bankside Urban Forest, which has been running for 5 years, is a long term strategy for enhancing Bankside's public realm. It is a partnership project to make Bankside, a mixed neighbourhood of 6,000 residents, 60,000 employees and 6million annual visitors, a better place to live, work and visit by offering high quality improvements to the public realm, ranging from small tree planting to temporary projects such as the Urban Physics Garden and permanent improvements like those to Flat Iron Square and Redcross Way. Our group of eight visited Heather and Ivan Morison's Skirt of the Black Mouth, Adams + Sutherland's, White Heart, improvements in Great Suffolk Street, Mint Street Park, Red Cross Way and Flat Iron Square. Better Bankside coordinate the partnership on behalf of a number of local agencies including Southwark Council, the Architecture Foundation, Tate Modern, Cross River Partnership and Greater London Authority (Design for London).
The walking tour began in Sumner Street with Skirt of the Black Mouth, a timber installation designed by Heather and Ivan Morison, which reclaims public space from the Tate Modern construction site by challenging the traditional hoarding as one approaches the museum from the back. Just in front, and as part of Neo Bankside development between Southwark Street and Holland Street, the landscape has created a series of gardens and pedestrian links between these two streets while also increasing biodiversity.
Our next stop was Adams + Sutherland's White Heart at the junction of Great Suffolk Street and Dolben Street. This project, which started on site in September, is intended to reinforce Great Suffolk Street's identity by proposing new social spaces with planting for people to sit and enjoy the city. When completed in November, it will incorporate a large new tree as its focal point as well as miscellaneous pavement repairs. Valerie explained that the consultation process enabled local residents to understand and comment on the proposals which were then adjusted to reflect their input.
Main challenges in Great Suffolk Street:
- Pavements' quality in poor conditions
- Redundant crossovers and fragmented pavements difficult for disabled people
- Pavements vary in width
- Large amount of pedestrian traffic
- Vehicle traffic is low volume and generally calm; however, there are a number of areas where drivers tend to speed up
- Pedestrians tend to cross the street informally. Safety needs to be improved
Further along Great Suffolk Street, a Victorian viaduct is being transformed by Light at the End of the Tunnel, a project to transform the railway viaducts from Vauxhall to Bermondsey in order to create job opportunities and promote investment in this part of Southwark. According to Valerie, when the project began in 2002, most of the arcades were dark and 'forbidding to pedestrians'. A couple of blocks further south from the tunnel, another 'pocket park' pops-up. Located next to a football field, it will add biodiversity to Great Suffolk Street.
The walk continues until we reach Mint Street Park, an open space in Marshalsea Road which had been a misused and 'dodgy' place for drug consumption in the 70s. Since 2000, it has been gradually improved and looked after by local charity Bankside Open Spaces Trust. Nestworks, designed by 51% Studio, designed to be used by small birds to increase biodiversity, are being currently monitored to measure how often birds use them.
Valerie then guided us on to Redcross Way, the improvements here were launched in 2010 and funded by Transport for London, as part of their Key Walking Routes initiative. The project links open spaces in the neighbourhood while enabling streets to become more enjoyable and safe for pedestrians. The pavements are wider compared to the rest of the neighbourhood and cycling is encouraged by provision of cycle parking along with 20 new trees.
The walk ended below the railway viaduct at Flat Iron Square. It used to be a street but was closed in 2011 into create a new 'place of exchange' within Bankside Urban Forest. With more room for pedestrians, and linking the Island Café to the existing parade of shops, the square is set to get a new green roof designed by Witherford Watson Mann Architects and the Green Roof Consultancy which is currently on site. Since the new space opened in 2011, a range of creative activities have been hosted in the square, including Union Press a temporary commission by public works in June 2012 and more recently a mural by Fiona Banner on the north wall of the square as part of the Merge Festival 2012.
All in all, this series of thoughtful micro-interventions in the public realm are slowly transforming this part of Bankside into a more welcoming and pedestrian-friendly place. One of the things that caught my attention was the everpresent Shard, which could always be glimpsed betwixt and between the buildings.

Connecticut named 7th healthiest state
When it comes to health, Connecticut is tops in a variety of ways, according to a health foundation's recent findings.
"We have a lot of people here who are educated and take good care of themselves," said Dr. Michael Ivy, Bridgeport Hospital's chief medical officer. "We have a lot of strengths."
So Ivy wasn't surprised that Connecticut was named the seventh healthiest state in the country in the United Health Foundation's 2013 America's Health Rankings, released Wednesday.
The rankings measure the states -- and the country as a whole -- based on a variety of factors, including smoking rates, physical activity levels and obesity. Hawaii was named the healthiest state overall, followed by Vermont. Minnesota was third and Massachusetts and New Hampshire rounded out the top five.
Mississippi was rated the least healthy state.
Connecticut retained its ranking of seventh-healthiest state from last year's report, and excelled in several areas. The state has one of the lowest smoking rates in the nation, although almost 450,000 adults in Connecticut smoke.
In other positive news, physical inactivity in the state declined over the past year. About 22 percent of adults in the state were deemed physically inactive in this year's report, compared with 25 percent in last year's report.
More InformationWho's the healthiest?
The 10 "healthiest" states:
1. Hawaii
2. Vermont
3. Minnesota
4. Massachusetts
5. New Hampshire
7. Connecticut
8.North Dakota
9. Colorado
10. New Jersey
The bottom five:
50. Mississippi
49. Arkansas
48. Louisiana
47. Alabama
46. West Virginia
Source: United Health Foundation's 2013 America's Health Rankings
The state's continued ranking as one of the nation's healthiest "speaks to the quality of health care and caregivers in Connecticut," said Michele Sharp, spokeswoman for the Connecticut Hospital Association.
According to the association, between fiscal year 2010 and fiscal year 2012, hospital use for some respiratory infections including pneumonia, influenza and acute bronchitis decreased nearly 9 percent. Hospital use due to diabetes with complications decreased nearly 6 percent.
"Hospitals are committed to being leaders in improving the health of Connecticut residents," Sharp said. "Connecticut's hospitals play a major and continually expanding role in improving community health."
Of course, Connecticut's health isn't perfect. The rankings show big health disparities in the state between the educated and the uneducated.
In Connecticut, 60.3 percent of adults 25 and older with at least a high school education report their health is very good or excellent, compared to only 26.9 percent with less than a high school education, resulting in a gap of 33.4 percent.
Ivy agreed that these kinds of disparities have long been a problem, both in Connecticut and in the country at large. "There's clearly a gap, where the better educated you are, the healthier you are," he said.
Other challenges for the state include the ever-persistent problem of obesity.
Connecticut is actually one of the slimmer states in the country, with only 25.6 percent of its residents qualifying as obese. However, the report showed that adult obesity rates in the state have been climbing over the years.
In the 2011 report, 23 percent of Connecticut residents were obese, and in last year's report, roughly 24.5 percent of residents were in that category.
Overall, though, the report showed health in the state improving. The rate of cardiovascular deaths declined 39 percent in the past 10 years, and in the past two years, the uninsured population decreased from 11.1 percent to 8.3 percent of the population.
America's Health Rankings is an annual comprehensive assessment of the nation's health on a state-by-state basis. It is published jointly by United Health Foundation, American Public Health Association and Partnership for Prevention.

Mikulski to lead diminished Approps
With its late Chairman Daniel Inouye lying in state in the Rotunda Thursday, these are not happy times for the proud Senate Appropriations Committee.
White House budget talks have eclipsed its mission, earmarks are verboten, not one of its annual bills has passed this year, and a $60.4 billion emergency disaster aid package for Hurricane Sandy risks the same fate this week. In a matter of hours Wednesday, not one but two senior Democrats turned down the chance to replace Inouye in a post that was once among the most coveted in Congress.
Story Continued Below
But when the call came, Sen. Barbara Mikulski grabbed the brass ring with no hesitation, and this sawed-off shotgun from Baltimore may be just what the doctor ordered. "She seemed seven feet tall," said one who watched her get the news. And on the floor that afternoon, the incoming chairwoman gave no quarter when Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) challenged money she had added to the Sandy bill to help distressed fisheries designated as disasters by the Commerce Department.
The senator from Oklahoma "has said on many occasions that he has been the defendant of the taxpayer. Well, so am I," Mikulski said. "Let's get rid of this phony-baloney nonsense that somehow or another that would undermine this bill."
"Visibility, vitality and vision, you heard it from me," she laughed in a brief hallway interview Thursday. "This committee is constitutionally mandated," Mikulski told POLITICO, and she wants to see Appropriations restored as one of the "big three economic committees" in the Senate alongside Finance and Budget.
"To use an Orioles analogy," she said, "I've been in the dugout for a long time, but I'm now ready to go the full nine innings."
"If anyone can help revive the Appropriations Committee, Barbara Mikulski can do it," Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) told POLITICO. But his own choice to not take the post — and instead chair the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee — is a reminder of how much the Senate has changed. And because Appropriations is so central to the operations of Congress, no committee has paid a heavier price for the dysfunction of the past few years.
In fact, Inouye's death on Monday came a year to the day after the Senate gave final approval to the last great appropriations bill on Dec. 17, 2011, implementing the promise of the Budget Control Act adopted in the summer four months before.
The Hawaii Democrat and his counterpart, House Appropriations Committee Chairman Hal Rogers (R-Ky.), had every reason to expect then that they would be able to move their bills in compliance with the Budget Control Act caps again in 2012. And the leadership even talked of moving bills in January, before the president's budget had been submitted.
But all this changed within months. And to appease his right and advance a House budget resolution that ultimately went nowhere, Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) walked away from the agreement and demanded tens of billions in new domestic spending cuts — which threw a monkey wrench into the whole process.

Greenville's Franke Keating, known world-wide as one of the most celebrated photographers for National Geographic, died Friday in Atlanta at 95.
Keating had lived in Atlanta recently with her son, Dr. John Keating, since her health had begun to fail.
"She was a special lady," Greenville realtor Betsy Alexander said. "It is a sad day for Greenville."
Having traveled across the globe to some of the world's most exotic locales, including 17 trips to Kenya, Keating was known throughout Mississippi as an extraordinarily talented portrait photographer, having shot some of the area's most well-known families and authors. She also shot for The Smithsonian and Travel and Leisure as well as smaller publications across America.
But to many around Greenville, she is simply known as "Ms. Franke."

"Franke lived her life fully," said long-time friend Jan Engel. "She was always ready to go. She had more energy than I did. My family loved her dearly, and anyone who knew her loved her."
A member of the Greenville community for more than 60 years, Franke Keating originally grew up across the river, in southeast Arkansas. In 1939, Keating married the love of her life, Bern, and moved to West Palm Beach, Fla. The couple relocated to Utica, N.Y., before Bern joined the U.S. Navy, and subsequently fought in World War II.
The Keatings returned to the South after the war, eventually settling in Greenville, where the couple opened a studio, which thrived on freelance and magazine contract work.
Initially, Bern was at the photographic helm of the business, but Franke longed to become more involved with the art. Eventually, the couple would switch roles, leaving Keating more in the photographer's seat, and her husband took over the writing aspect of their work.
The couple traveled the world over the next 50 years, flying off into the wild blue yonder, traveling to far away lands, going on safari and meeting new and exciting adventures head on.
In 1995, Franke and Bern received the Special Achievement Award from the Mississippi Institute of Arts and Letters.
Keating's importance to Greenville and the Delta is reflected in the comments of Greenville mayor Heather McTeer, who viewed her as an icon.
"She was an amazing woman, who showcased the Delta with her talents," McTeer said. "I loved her adventureous side. She was a classic lady but was unafraid to go anywhere, or meet anyone.
"I also loved her grace. I usually saw her at local arts events and everytime, she always gave me a warm hug and kiss on both cheeks. Mrs. Keating was really special to Greenville."
One of the things Franke loved the most was her Christmas cookie party, a Delta tradition for more than 50 years.
Franke and Bern up with the idea for the Cookie Party after visiting the home of a friend one Christmas where they admired the beautiful ornaments on the tree. The Keatings decided to
open their home and have children come to decorate ornaments for the birds to enjoy to be hung on trees in their yard. Over the years, the event grew to be more of a grownup party. But Franke says she wanted a tradition for the children, "not a cocktail party!"
It was then that Franke literally sketched out several designs. She took her drawings to a local blacksmith shop and had cookie cutters made. To her surprise, the blacksmith made the cookie cutters out of copper. She promptly told him not to send her the bill until after New Year's; she didn't want to spoil her holiday.
